spirited from the city.
We know this from the Earth girl.
- What traitor?
- I have my suspicions.
- Stop at nothing.
- No matter to whom the trail leads?
I said at nothing.
- What's that?
- Their sacred temple.
A young man is being initiated.
But we must hide till it's done.
I love initiations.
I am now of age, Green Father.
I ask for the test of manhood.
Choose your passage,
into this world, or the next.
May Arbor guide you.
Send me on my way.
- Spare me the madness.
- I will. Hold him.
- This guy is going to help me?
- Stay.
That was extremely moving.
I do sometimes keep a promise.
- Prepare a feast.
- No, I have to get back right away.
- Then why did you come?
- I brought you a present. Flash?
Welcome back from the grave.
I knew you were up to something,
but not necrophilia.
Just keep him for me until my father
has had his way with Dale Arden.
I'll keep him all right! In my larder.
Take him, with the rest of the meat.
I forbid it. If you kill Flash,
you'll never have me again.
What danger is there?
Everyone thinks he's dead.
- I'll take him to Cythera next week.
- Harboring a fugitive is treason.
You're not frightened of Ming.
- You are playing with fire, Aura.
- Of course I am.
Does anyone ever trust her twice?
So they let us escape because Klytus
thought he erased your memory.
Do you know why it failed? I started
to recite Shakespeare, the Talmud. -
- Einstein, anything I could remember,
even The Beatles. It armored me.
They couldn't wipe those things away.
You can't beat the human spirit.
Prince Barin! I'm not your enemy,
Ming is. And you know it.
Ming is the enemy of every creature
on Mongo. Let's team up and fight him.
Lower them into the swamp.
We can do it, Barin!
Your lover Barin is harboring
Gordon, is he not?
This lying is such a waste of time.
You left with a pilot and returned
alone. Wasn't he Gordon?
Who do you think you're protecting?
The Imperial Surgeon?
- Another lover of yours!
- Yourjealousy has made you mad.
Seize the surgeon
on suspicion of treason.
- Prepare him for torture!
- Confess and we won't hurt you.
- We don't like doing this at all.
- Never!
Bring me the bore worms.
No! Not the bore worms.
I'm a princess. My father
will have your head for this.
He'll execute your whole perverted
secret police. I demand to see him!
With pleasure.
- Father...
- The traitor is close to confession.
Should we stop the torture?
- No.
- Damn you, father!
- That damn woman's using me again.
- What do you expect?
- I don't know what you see in her.
- Keep playing, fool.
- Fico, I'm going to kill Gordon now.
- And lose the princess forever?
There must be a way to dispose of him
and keep faith with the princess.
- I'm sorry, Flash, I'm finished.
- No, you're not. Get up.
Look, someone's coming.
Send him over. Hurry up.
It's no good, Flash.
I can't hold on.
Go on, get in.
Sleep well, you traitor.
We hang you in the morning.
- There's always hope.
- This is better.
I stole the key.
We need weapons to cross the swamp.
They're stored in the temple.
Want to climb up with me?
Hold on, Hawkman.
Nice confession. I commend you.
- Execute her.
- No. Too kind.
Aura will be banished to Frigia
after my wedding.
One year in a cavern of ice
will cool her blood.
And then, who knows?
Perhaps we'll marry her to someone
worthy of her treacherous nature.
- How can I express my gratitude?
- Easily. Get me Gordon and Barin.
With pleasure.
Hans, look!
- Hey Vultan!
- Not now.
You'll love this.
See what Brave Blue has caught.
Prince Vultan. Remember us?
Indeed I do, my lovely.
Call the Emperor.
Tell him I have prisoners.
- You wouldn't!
- Are you mad, Vultan?
You hate Ming. You're only waiting
for the moment to attack.
Yes, and Ming knows it, too.
By delivering you,
I allay his suspicions.
- I gain time.
- Our weapons are inferior.
Ming's not unbeatable.
He couldn't even kill Flash.
- Gordon's alive?
- In
