-Why are they after us?

We're only a transport ship!

-Ahoy, transport!

Stand and deliver!

Surrender or we'll slice you open from stem to stern!

-You have no authority over us!

This is free space!

-Have it your way then!

Station Theta One--

Surrender and prepare to be boarded!

-You are not authorized to dock!

-To the launch tubes! Abandon station immediately!

-Hah! Look at them run!

The space station is ours-- and everything on it!

-Whoever did this just ripped the place apart.

-And stole everything valuable that wasn't nailed down.

-There has been a series of attacks just like this

throughout the solar system.

-Almost like the th century pirates of the Caribbean!

-Or the th century pirates of northern India.

-What did you say, Phantom? -Sorry.

I was thinking of something that happened a long time ago.

-Well, let's look for clues.

-Phantom, what was it you were thinking of?

-Long ago, my ancestor fought a g*ng

of air pirates called the Sky Band.

-It can't be!

-Phantom, what is it?

-It's the insignia of the Sky Band!

It's not possible!

-What's the matter with you, Phantom?

-Something that happened to my grandfather

years ago-- is happening all over again!

-Don't you think you'd better fill the rest of us in on it?

-It happened shortly before World w*r II.

[screams]

-What's going on?

-We're under attack!

-Attention, Clipper Star of India!

Follow us, or we will blow you out of the air!

-I want that ship stripped bare!

And search the passengers for valuables!

And make sure the Clipper ship will not be able to take off.

Silence!

I don't want anyone talking!

-All I know is, the leader of the Sky Pirates was a woman!

-A woman?

Could you identify what kind of plane they flew?

-I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about planes.

They all look alike to me!

-Of course!

Miss Palmer, it is vital we know as much as we can

about these air pirates.

-I think Miss Palmer has been through enough for one day,

Sir Phillip!

-Phantom!

-You know this-- person, Miss Palmer?

-Why, yes-- He's my fiancé.

-That explains why you'd dare show your face around here!

Your help is not needed, Phantom!

-This is British India!

We live by civilized rules here!

There's no place for ghostly jungle vigilantes like you!

-I get the feeling

we are not welcome here by our good friend, Sir Philip!

-You're not going after the Sky Band, Phantom--

unless you want to be arrested yourself!

-Why, Sir Phillip!

A whole army of pirates?

I wouldn't dream of going after them alone!

-Blimey!

So them's the Maharaja of Kaipur's jewels!

-There's pirates about who'd do anything

to get their hands on them!

-That's just what I'm counting on!

-Search the cars!

Find the Jewels!

Strip the passengers of their valuables!

Hurry! I want everything!

If anyone stands in your way-- destroy them!
[ … ]

-Why don't you start with me?

-Come on, tough guy!

-You're all women!

-And you, Phantom, are all finished!

-So the original Sky Band were all women!

-Yes.

And to harm a woman would break the code

my ancestors have lived by for centuries.

-It certainly sounds like

your grandfather was in a tight spot!

-Indeed he was.

-Let's execute him!

-Now, that's not the way I expected a lady to act!

-You'll see we ladies

can be just as ruthless as any man!

-Actually, I'm disappointed--

I had hopes to join you and your pirates!

-You lie!

The Ghost Who Walks

has been the enemy of pirates for centuries!

-In the old days, perhaps.

But these are modern times.

The tide of power is shifting.

-You-- interest me, Phantom.

I will let you live--

for now!

Take him to the dungeon!

-You are very brave, coming in here alone, Baroness.

-I fear no man, and my g*n is very much loaded!

-You don't need that.

I would never harm a woman--

Especially one as lovely as you!

-Is it true--

that the Phantom can never be k*lled?

-Why don't you sh**t me and find out?

-What a waste of manpower that would be.

-Too bad we couldn't have met

under different circumstances, Baroness.

-We don't get many men here.

And you, Phantom, are not like ordinary men.

-These planes of yours, Baroness,

must've cost a great deal!

-Those who have backed me have been quite generous.

We share the supplies we steal.

-Why not keep it all and split it with me?

With me at your side,

you could be Empress of the Air!

-You're beginning to fascinate me, Phantom.

-Uh, sorry!

I'll feel very much better

if your g*n is loaded with blanks!

-Today, we go after our biggest prize yet!

An ocean liner!

And you will be my copilot!

-And how will your planes haul all that booty back here?

-They won't.

I'm going to steal the whole ship.

-Tell me, what ship are we after?

-The SS Victoria,

and after we get rid of the passengers and the crew,

we will bring her back here.

-The SS Victoria! Diana's aboard that ship--

I've got to stop the Baroness!

I've got to make my move!

-What is he doing?

He tricked me!

I'll destroy that traitor!

-I don't want to hurt you, Baroness!

Surrender!

-Never! It is you who will surrender!

Fiend! Traitor!

I'll get rid of you!

-You'll find I'm not that easy to get rid of.

-So it's true!

The Ghost Who Walks can never die!

Are you man or spirit or devil?

No! Keep away from me!

No! Keep away from me!

-Baroness! Don't be a fool!

Baroness!

No!

-My grandfather never got over it.

That moment haunted him the rest of his life.

-How could the Sky Band be operating again

in this day and age?

-I don't know.

But I've got to find out!

-A mining ship is under attack in the asteroid belt.

-Phantom, old buddy,

it looks like you're gonna get your chance!

-Attack! Attack!

Keep up the attack!

-Not so fast, little lady!

-That woman's giving them orders from somewhere else.

-Phantom, lock onto the signal

and follow it back to its origin!

-Flash to Shuttle!

You guys dock with the mining ship

and check it out.

-We're on it, Flash!
[ … ]

-And if you get the Phantom-- bring him to me!

-You'll get him, all right!

-So we meet at last, Ghost Who Walks!

I've been waiting a long time for this!

-You can't be the Baroness?

-No.

But a woman who hates you as much as she did!

You didn't know she had a daughter

before you destroyed her, did you?

And I am her direct descendant, Kristina Graff!

And at last, I will avenge her!

Now we shall see the Ghost Who Walks destroyed!

-You won't get away,

you're dealing with Flash Gordon!

You know, nobody respects us living legends anymore!

-Look-- Sky Band ships!

The pirates are already on board!

-Lothar, head upward

and make sure the bridge is secure!

The rest of you follow me!

-The Defenders!

-What's happening?

Help!

-Not so fast!

-I have planned a fate for you

that even the mighty Phantom cannot escape!

-I wouldn't be so sure about that!

-You won't get away from me that easily--

-Show yourself!

-Where are you going? Come join the party!

Those fancy fighters of theirs won't be going anywhere!

-We'd better see how the Phantom is doing.

-Captain, would you look

after these charming young ladies?

-Flash, we're going to check on the Phantom.

Why don't you collect the rest of the Sky Band pirates?

-With pleasure, Mandrake!

-Only a coward fights in darkness, Kristina!

-And what you did to my grandmother--

that was brave?

-Baroness! No!

-It wasn't me--

It was my grandfather.

I had nothing to do with it!

-You are of his blood--

You will pay for his crime!

I've enjoyed our little game, Phantom.

Now it must come to an end and you with it!

The molten core of this asteroid

provides us with power.

Now your body will provide a bit of fuel for it!

Baroness! You are avenged!

The Phantom is no more!

-Don't bet on it, Kristina!

-It can't be!

You, you are immortal!

But I will get him--

even if it means destroying myself

and everything I've built!

-What have you done?

-I have overloaded the power unit

at the core of the asteroid!

All will be destroyed, including you!

-Phantom, come in!

Phantom, we're on the asteroid! Where are you?

Come in! Come in!

-Mandrake, get out of here!

I can't let it happen again!

-Baroness, No!

-I won't let it happen again!

If I can open that cooling unit,

it might chill things down

long enough to get everyone out of here!

By Jungle Law, the Ghost Who Walks

calls forth the Power of Ten Tigers!

Kristina!

Kristina!

-Phantom-- over here!

-We better get out of here!

Rick and L.J., you two take Phantom's Eagle!

-Right!

-I'm not going to let it happen again!

I won't!

Live!

Live!

I tell you, you're going to live!

Breathe, Kristina!

Come on, breathe!

You're alive.

Lothar, lock her up!

-It's over, Phantom!

You have corrected your grandfather's mistake.

-You should be happy this is finished, Phantom!

-It's not finished until Kristina and her Sky Band

are taken back to Earth to stand trial.

-I have a feeling if we don't get out of here,

we'll all be finished!
