Will you please tell me why? 01:47.200 --> 01:52.100 You don't know what just happened to the exploratory mission we sent to Tarset? 01:52.100 --> 01:53.300 No. 01:53.300 --> 01:56.900 I've been in my mountain lab completely out of touch with things. 01:56.900 --> 01:58.400 What happened? 01:58.400 --> 02:00.600 We'll soon know the details. 02:00.600 --> 02:03.100 All I've had up to now are fragmentary reports, 02:03.100 --> 02:07.400 but even from them I'd be a murderer if I let you go. 02:07.400 --> 02:11.000 Flash Gordon is here, sir, with Dr. Jebas of the Tarset expedition. 02:11.000 --> 02:12.500 Good.
