1
00:00:06,759 --> 00:00:12,332
Five, four, three, two, one!

2
00:00:18,525 --> 00:00:20,632
Look at her go!

3
00:00:21,205 --> 00:00:23,245
Just like the real Thunderbird 3.

4
00:00:23,285 --> 00:00:27,125
I guess so, son. You're
the expert on International Rescue.

5
00:00:27,165 --> 00:00:29,965
Yeah. I searched
every picture there is,

6
00:00:30,005 --> 00:00:33,036
but I still don't get
how the pilot sits in it.

7
00:00:37,685 --> 00:00:41,125
Come on, Aidan. It's late.
Last rescue for the day.

8
00:00:55,045 --> 00:01:00,058
- Whoa! What's that, Dad?
- That's a sonic injection platform.

9
00:01:01,485 --> 00:01:06,926
See, energy poachers use these
to steal hydromethane from underground.

10
00:01:07,758 --> 00:01:10,473
Right! We need to work out
how to turn it off.

11
00:01:15,844 --> 00:01:17,573
Careful.

12
00:01:22,685 --> 00:01:27,198
It must be fully automated.
I'd better call this in.

13
00:01:27,258 --> 00:01:30,060
Er... Aidan, do you see
a comm switch?

14
00:01:30,085 --> 00:01:32,605
- Here it is.
- Thanks.

15
00:01:32,645 --> 00:01:34,925
- Department of Energy.
- 'Operations.'

16
00:01:34,965 --> 00:01:39,729
Hello. My name is Robert Williams.
I'm the warden of Dunsley Fields.

17
00:01:39,763 --> 00:01:43,765
I've just discovered
an illegal hydromethane extractor.

18
00:01:43,805 --> 00:01:46,045
- 'Can you hold, please?'
- Yeah, I'll hold.

19
00:01:50,445 --> 00:01:53,212
The actuator!
It's starting to pump!

20
00:01:55,965 --> 00:02:00,445
Whoa! The ground's giving way!
We have to get out of here!

21
00:02:05,165 --> 00:02:06,805
Dad?

22
00:02:10,891 --> 00:02:12,851
Five.

23
00:02:12,891 --> 00:02:14,620
Four.

24
00:02:14,878 --> 00:02:16,838
Three.

25
00:02:16,912 --> 00:02:18,682
Two.

26
00:02:19,397 --> 00:02:21,397
One.

27
00:02:49,085 --> 00:02:51,420
Thunderbirds Are Go!

28
00:03:01,698 --> 00:03:06,573
'Hello. My name is Robert Williams.
I'm the warden of Dunsley Fields.'

29
00:03:06,611 --> 00:03:11,011
'I've just discovered
an illegal hydromethane extractor.'

30
00:03:11,111 --> 00:03:12,846
'Yeah, I'll hold.'

31
00:03:12,905 --> 00:03:15,105
That's all there is, guys.
Kinda weird.

32
00:03:15,126 --> 00:03:17,765
That's setting the bar
a little low for weird, John.

33
00:03:17,805 --> 00:03:20,325
This Williams guy was reporting
some shady goings-on,

34
00:03:20,365 --> 00:03:22,245
got put on hold,
lost his nerve, hung up.

35
00:03:22,285 --> 00:03:25,605
Gordon, the call came on
an ID blank comm from Dunsley Fields

36
00:03:25,645 --> 00:03:27,685
right before we detected
an earthquake.

37
00:03:27,725 --> 00:03:31,167
- So the comm belonged to the bad guys?
- OK, it's a little weird.

38
00:03:31,188 --> 00:03:33,902
Check out these satellite pics.
What do you make of it, Brains?

39
00:03:33,923 --> 00:03:36,867
It appears to be
a sonic injection p-platform.

40
00:03:36,953 --> 00:03:40,128
And not a... particularly
well-engineered one, at that.

41
00:03:40,168 --> 00:03:43,075
Right, Brains. But just a minute
later it looked like this.

42
00:03:43,108 --> 00:03:45,388
The control section's
sheered c-clean off.

43
00:03:45,427 --> 00:03:48,530
So, some greedy crooks left
a machine to suck up hydromethane

44
00:03:48,551 --> 00:03:51,430
and now it's trashed - looks like
the problem took care of itself.

45
00:03:51,451 --> 00:03:53,171
Not necessarily, Virgil.

46
00:03:53,221 --> 00:03:55,631
The call likely came
from the control section.

47
00:03:55,668 --> 00:03:57,652
And if Mr Williams was inside...

48
00:03:57,673 --> 00:04:00,249
Exactly. We may have a situation.

49
00:04:06,768 --> 00:04:09,400
- Dad!
- Oh, I'm... I'm all right.

50
00:04:09,421 --> 00:04:11,848
That was
a bit of a fall, wasn't it?

51
00:04:15,201 --> 00:04:17,453
Oh-oh... Watch out.

52
00:04:18,688 --> 00:04:21,222
- Your leg!
- I think it's broken.

53
00:04:30,714 --> 00:04:33,161
- Dad...?
- There's something on top of us.

54
00:04:33,568 --> 00:04:37,016
Maybe loose boulders...
Or the rest of the platform!

55
00:04:37,207 --> 00:04:39,407
- See if the comm works.
- OK.

56
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:43,848
Mayday! Mayday!

57
00:04:45,174 --> 00:04:47,174
No answer.

58
00:04:55,755 --> 00:04:58,515
I've run through dozens of reports
about these machines.

59
00:04:58,536 --> 00:05:01,816
Turns out the hydromethane gas
energy poachers extract with them

60
00:05:01,837 --> 00:05:03,759
is worth a fortune
on the black market.

61
00:05:03,780 --> 00:05:07,827
And scans show that ocean water has
started flooding into the caverns below.

62
00:05:07,848 --> 00:05:11,582
Any more of this, and Dunsley Fields
could become a huge sinkhole.

63
00:05:11,685 --> 00:05:15,245
That wasn't an earthquake
we detected. It was a cave-in.

64
00:05:15,285 --> 00:05:17,845
OK, I'll fly over with Gordon
and see what we can see.

65
00:05:19,224 --> 00:05:21,845
And where do you think
you're going, Max?

66
00:05:21,885 --> 00:05:25,125
You're on cleaning duty, remember?

67
00:06:27,245 --> 00:06:32,165
Five, four, three, two, one.

68
00:06:39,205 --> 00:06:41,205
Thunderbirds are go!

69
00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:44,297
- Impressive!
- Thanks.

70
00:06:44,318 --> 00:06:46,744
It's just a shame you had
to use part of your rocket.

71
00:06:46,765 --> 00:06:48,898
It doesn't matter. We need a radio.

72
00:06:48,928 --> 00:06:51,928
Mayday, Mayday, Mayday.

73
00:06:51,968 --> 00:06:55,208
No answer.
It hasn't got enough range.

74
00:06:57,309 --> 00:07:01,272
Something up there moved. There
must be tons of earth on top of us.

75
00:07:01,368 --> 00:07:03,772
Mayday, Mayday, Mayday!

76
00:07:04,921 --> 00:07:06,682
- Aidan!
- Argh!

77
00:07:10,134 --> 00:07:16,514
And remember - hydromethane is extremely
f-flammable, at any concentration.

78
00:07:16,535 --> 00:07:18,831
- Understood. We'll be careful.
- Approaching now.

79
00:07:18,858 --> 00:07:20,974
Let's get a closer
look at this thing.

80
00:07:32,774 --> 00:07:36,150
- Would you look at that!
- Brains, are you getting this?

81
00:07:36,171 --> 00:07:40,273
Seismic readings b-below ground
show that the actuator is still active.

82
00:07:40,294 --> 00:07:42,180
- You need to shut it down.
- Agreed.

83
00:07:42,201 --> 00:07:44,761
But first things first -
we need to look for survivors.

84
00:07:48,241 --> 00:07:51,537
Wherever that control section is,
it's buried now.

85
00:07:51,558 --> 00:07:53,695
The area's full of flooded caverns.

86
00:07:53,722 --> 00:07:57,919
If you can find a way in, the most
direct route would be to go underwater.

87
00:07:57,961 --> 00:08:00,484
Hear that, Virg?
This is gonna be my job.

88
00:08:00,567 --> 00:08:02,064
"Virg"?

89
00:08:26,741 --> 00:08:29,421
Systems check complete.
Docking clamp released.

90
00:08:29,453 --> 00:08:31,680
We are go for module deployment.

91
00:08:49,374 --> 00:08:51,770
Thunderbird 4... is go!

92
00:09:24,168 --> 00:09:26,488
OK, if this is
the most direct way in,

93
00:09:26,528 --> 00:09:29,587
then that control section must be
on the other side of the world!

94
00:09:34,354 --> 00:09:38,074
Hey! We got seismic activity.
It's another cave-in.

95
00:09:39,487 --> 00:09:41,487
Whoopsie!

96
00:09:52,888 --> 00:09:56,093
Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

97
00:09:56,127 --> 00:09:57,651
Emergency!

98
00:09:58,105 --> 00:10:02,007
Can anyone hear me? Anyone?!

99
00:10:04,334 --> 00:10:07,162
- Dad!
- Oh! I've got you.

100
00:10:08,808 --> 00:10:11,769
Guys, the cave-ins are shifting
ferrous rock around

101
00:10:11,790 --> 00:10:13,368
and it's scrambling my scanners.

102
00:10:13,408 --> 00:10:16,288
I'll eyeball my way in
as far as I can.

103
00:10:16,328 --> 00:10:20,078
FAB, Thunderbird 4. Nothing too
risky till I disable the actuator.

104
00:10:20,099 --> 00:10:23,968
We don't know for sure Williams wasn't even
in the control section when it broke off.

105
00:10:24,008 --> 00:10:26,488
Hold on. I've got a signal.
Switching frequencies.

106
00:10:26,528 --> 00:10:30,826
- Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!
- This is International Rescue.

107
00:10:30,847 --> 00:10:34,107
We copy and are attempting to reach you
through an underground waterway.

108
00:10:34,128 --> 00:10:37,728
An underwater rescue?!
So you're in Thunderbird 4!

109
00:10:37,768 --> 00:10:40,109
To whom do I have the pleasure
of speaking?

110
00:10:40,130 --> 00:10:42,130
I'm Aidan Williams.
I'm here with my dad.

111
00:10:42,201 --> 00:10:44,196
And the cave-in is crushing the room.

112
00:10:44,248 --> 00:10:46,928
Your dad... Robert Williams?

113
00:10:46,988 --> 00:10:50,448
- Tell him I can't walk.
- Uh-huh. His leg is broken,

114
00:10:50,469 --> 00:10:53,965
and the comm was broken,
and... everything was broken.

115
00:10:54,001 --> 00:10:57,213
So I made a radio
and I treated my dad for shock.

116
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,088
Good man!

117
00:10:59,128 --> 00:11:02,402
- Hey, the shaking's stopped.
- Copy that.

118
00:11:02,423 --> 00:11:04,707
- How old are you, Aidan?
- Eleven - next August.

119
00:11:04,728 --> 00:11:06,869
Stand by, Aidan.
Switching frequencies.

120
00:11:06,885 --> 00:11:09,565
Thunderbird 2, I'm in contact
with Robert Williams.

121
00:11:09,586 --> 00:11:11,673
He's in the control
section - with his son.

122
00:11:11,694 --> 00:11:13,296
That certainly complicates things.

123
00:11:13,317 --> 00:11:15,542
Any chance of stopping
another round of cave-ins?

124
00:11:15,563 --> 00:11:19,477
Not from the control section. Virg, you'll
have to shut down that machine from up top.

125
00:11:19,498 --> 00:11:21,641
FAB, "Gordo"!

126
00:11:24,087 --> 00:11:27,712
Brains, I'm linking you in.
Take a look at this fly-by footage.

127
00:11:28,568 --> 00:11:31,808
Oh, my! What a t-terrible design.

128
00:11:31,848 --> 00:11:35,088
Is it... sitting
on the hydromethane tanks?

129
00:11:35,128 --> 00:11:38,768
Correct. A failed attempt
to disable the actuator

130
00:11:38,808 --> 00:11:41,448
could v-vaporise the whole area.

131
00:11:42,488 --> 00:11:44,208
OK, Aidan, I'm on my way.

132
00:11:44,248 --> 00:11:46,623
Can you tell me anything
about where you are?

133
00:11:46,657 --> 00:11:49,468
- I can hear water below us.
- Good. That helps.

134
00:11:49,501 --> 00:11:51,701
Now, how mobile is your father?

135
00:11:51,761 --> 00:11:53,384
I'll try.

136
00:11:54,907 --> 00:11:56,960
- I'm sorry, it's too...
- He can't stand up!

137
00:11:56,981 --> 00:12:00,817
FAB, Aidan. Hold on. I'm using sonar
to get through these caverns to you.

138
00:12:00,857 --> 00:12:03,368
- Hurry! Save us!
- Hey, Aidan! Hey!

139
00:12:03,408 --> 00:12:06,528
Let's take a deep breath.
I need you to stay calm.

140
00:12:06,568 --> 00:12:09,578
That's the first rule
of any emergency.

141
00:12:10,241 --> 00:12:13,830
- He's my dad, you know?
- Yeah. I really do.

142
00:12:13,870 --> 00:12:18,284
He may be slipping into shock. Keep him
still and comfortable till I get there.

143
00:12:18,361 --> 00:12:20,361
Urgh! Dead end.

144
00:12:21,122 --> 00:12:25,046
So, Aidan, why don't you tell me about how
you put together this radio of yours.

145
00:12:25,067 --> 00:12:29,813
Science camp. Me and Damon, he's my best
friend, we're crazy about aerospace.

146
00:12:29,835 --> 00:12:33,882
We found a picture of Thunderbird 3
on the net - and I built a scale model.

147
00:12:33,903 --> 00:12:35,535
So much for
keeping that one secret!

148
00:12:35,556 --> 00:12:39,273
So the telemetry relay of my Thunderbird
is what I made the radio out of.

149
00:12:39,294 --> 00:12:41,985
- Nice one. Urgh!
- Are you almost here?

150
00:12:42,020 --> 00:12:46,870
Yes! Well, I'll be straight
with you. It's slow going.

151
00:12:47,528 --> 00:12:50,327
- It's gonna be all right, Aidan.
- OK.

152
00:12:50,348 --> 00:12:51,907
Standing by.

153
00:12:52,488 --> 00:12:55,924
Great
The actuator runs on solar power.

154
00:12:55,945 --> 00:12:58,728
It's covered front to back
with energy collection panels.

155
00:12:58,768 --> 00:13:01,928
That means there isn't any way
to shut it down.

156
00:13:01,968 --> 00:13:04,768
It could start another cave-in
at any moment!

157
00:13:04,808 --> 00:13:07,103
Can't cut the power,
can't blow it up.

158
00:13:07,124 --> 00:13:08,968
Looks like we'll have to move it.

159
00:13:09,008 --> 00:13:12,088
M-Move the whole
sonic injection platform?!

160
00:13:12,128 --> 00:13:15,205
Why, of course!
Why didn't I think of that?

161
00:13:15,226 --> 00:13:19,186
Cos nobody but me can do it.
That's the beauty of flying the big bird.

162
00:13:20,836 --> 00:13:23,168
Easy, easy...

163
00:13:23,208 --> 00:13:25,620
Thunderbird 4,
have you reached them yet?

164
00:13:25,641 --> 00:13:28,827
Not yet. I'm having trouble
navigating the caverns.

165
00:13:28,853 --> 00:13:31,568
Something in the rocks
is scrambling my sonar signal.

166
00:13:31,608 --> 00:13:34,248
If only you could get them
to ping you remotely.

167
00:13:34,288 --> 00:13:36,995
You know, that might be doable.

168
00:13:37,281 --> 00:13:39,401
- Aidan, meet Brains.
- Hello?

169
00:13:39,481 --> 00:13:41,881
Brains, this is Aidan.
He's pretty handy.

170
00:13:41,928 --> 00:13:44,968
He built a radio from
a model rocket's telemetry relay.

171
00:13:45,027 --> 00:13:47,107
What a resourceful boy!

172
00:13:47,275 --> 00:13:52,386
- Aidan, do you know what sonar is?
- Sure. Want me to ping you?

173
00:13:52,506 --> 00:13:55,528
Yes. That would be quite helpful.

174
00:13:55,549 --> 00:13:58,951
I think my rocket's
locator transponder still works.

175
00:13:59,061 --> 00:14:00,387
Stand by.

176
00:14:07,821 --> 00:14:12,030
Excellent! Pr-Processing
the signal now, Thunderbird 4.

177
00:14:15,554 --> 00:14:18,656
Setting my new course
and locking the nav.

178
00:14:36,088 --> 00:14:39,064
OK, that's as far as I can go
by water.

179
00:14:39,085 --> 00:14:41,485
I'll have to beach
and go by foot from here.

180
00:14:41,890 --> 00:14:46,989
Be careful down there. The cave-ins have
probably released a lot of hydromethane.

181
00:14:47,009 --> 00:14:48,530
FAB.

182
00:14:53,608 --> 00:14:56,976
Thunderbird 2,
how's everything top side?

183
00:14:57,088 --> 00:14:59,081
Not so great.

184
00:14:59,114 --> 00:15:02,813
I may have a little problem
with my "brilliant" plan.

185
00:15:03,728 --> 00:15:06,728
The platform is too big
for Thunderbird 2 to move.

186
00:15:07,333 --> 00:15:10,413
I'm gonna have to cut
this thing down to size.

187
00:15:29,648 --> 00:15:31,190
Dad!

188
00:15:32,208 --> 00:15:34,808
It's like being inside
a rock crusher!

189
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,120
- Has it stopped?
- Feels like it.

190
00:15:38,774 --> 00:15:43,734
You were right about
the hydromethane. It's everywhere.

191
00:15:43,755 --> 00:15:47,195
T-Try not to ignite it.
If it blows up -

192
00:15:47,216 --> 00:15:50,827
- It'll be like the Fourth of July?
- More like doomsday.

193
00:15:50,848 --> 00:15:52,597
Good to know

194
00:15:52,621 --> 00:15:54,919
Looks like I've got
some climbing to do.

195
00:16:07,688 --> 00:16:09,558
Almost there.

196
00:16:09,908 --> 00:16:11,157
Good.

197
00:16:11,177 --> 00:16:14,758
- My dad's looking bad.
- Just hang on.

198
00:16:14,869 --> 00:16:18,768
- Aidan, know what I hate?
- What?

199
00:16:18,808 --> 00:16:20,210
Low ceilings.

200
00:16:21,848 --> 00:16:24,248
We'll be out of here
before it gets any lower.

201
00:16:24,288 --> 00:16:27,087
If it gets any lower,
we'll have to wear it home!

202
00:16:35,388 --> 00:16:37,890
Virgil, that rig's gotta move soon.

203
00:16:37,981 --> 00:16:40,581
The control section can't take
another cave-in.

204
00:16:41,194 --> 00:16:43,194
FAB.

205
00:17:06,408 --> 00:17:08,658
- Aidan!
- International Rescue!

206
00:17:08,725 --> 00:17:11,555
Hi. It's Gordon.
Time to get you out of here.

207
00:17:11,581 --> 00:17:12,979
It's good to see you.

208
00:17:14,396 --> 00:17:15,883
Take it easy.

209
00:17:16,008 --> 00:17:19,395
OK, we're gonna need to lower him on my
cable. I need two lengths of rope -

210
00:17:19,416 --> 00:17:22,552
One three metres, the other - four.
For an improvised rescue harness.

211
00:17:22,573 --> 00:17:23,723
Nice!

212
00:17:23,744 --> 00:17:25,707
I already found some stuff.
It's over there.

213
00:17:25,728 --> 00:17:29,804
I'll get it on him. Keep him
comfortable and hydrated. Small sips.

214
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,183
Gordo, you better be gone.

215
00:17:43,478 --> 00:17:46,246
No! It's another earthquake.

216
00:17:48,275 --> 00:17:51,840
- Aidan, first rule in any emergency?
- Stay calm.

217
00:18:02,174 --> 00:18:04,897
Don't worry, Aidan.
Just take it steady.

218
00:18:15,641 --> 00:18:17,864
The actuator's clear.

219
00:18:20,448 --> 00:18:22,448
Let's move this thing!

220
00:18:37,247 --> 00:18:39,247
- Whoa!
- Gordon!

221
00:18:46,567 --> 00:18:49,745
That last quake weakened
the rock - move!

222
00:19:27,821 --> 00:19:29,602
Perfect timing.

223
00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:32,565
Maybe not so perfect.

224
00:19:35,488 --> 00:19:38,511
Thunderbird 4, that actuator
must have regulated the pressure

225
00:19:38,532 --> 00:19:40,709
on the hydromethane tank.

226
00:19:41,185 --> 00:19:42,938
It's gonna blow!

227
00:19:46,888 --> 00:19:49,008
- Belts on!
- Cool!

228
00:20:03,987 --> 00:20:05,683
We're not out of it yet.

229
00:20:05,704 --> 00:20:08,754
Virgil, no need to cut it close
or anything

230
00:20:10,008 --> 00:20:12,727
I got you. Brace yourselves!

231
00:20:37,488 --> 00:20:41,168
- You're going to be all right, Dad.
- Yeah. Well done, son.

232
00:20:41,189 --> 00:20:44,451
There's a hospital just ten minutes
away. We'll get that leg set for you.

233
00:20:44,472 --> 00:20:47,545
Thunderbird 4, this is
Thunderbird 5. Great rescue.

234
00:20:47,566 --> 00:20:50,539
We made it. But whoever's
behind this got away clean.

235
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,528
Not quite. I've been monitoring the
frequency Mr Williams's call came in on

236
00:20:54,568 --> 00:20:56,928
and found a crew
of hydromethane poachers

237
00:20:56,949 --> 00:21:00,168
trying to transmit new instructions
to that injection platform.

238
00:21:00,189 --> 00:21:02,648
The local authorities are
rounding them up right now.

239
00:21:02,688 --> 00:21:05,888
Johnny! Did you just
bust a crime ring from orbit?

240
00:21:05,934 --> 00:21:08,654
Well, Brains helped.
And... don't call me Johnny.

241
00:21:08,675 --> 00:21:11,672
Damon's gonna be so jealous
that I got to meet you, guys!

242
00:21:11,693 --> 00:21:14,088
Too bad it's cos I needed saving.

243
00:21:14,128 --> 00:21:17,070
You never want something bad
to happen to your dad.

244
00:21:17,928 --> 00:21:19,848
- No.
- You sure don't.

245
00:21:19,888 --> 00:21:21,768
If our guests would prefer,

246
00:21:21,808 --> 00:21:25,768
we have very good m-medical
facilities on Tracy Island.

247
00:21:25,808 --> 00:21:29,128
Perhaps this brilliant young man
would like a tour of my lab.

248
00:21:29,168 --> 00:21:33,275
- FAB!
- FAB! What does that mean?

249
00:21:34,488 --> 00:21:37,248
What?
I'd really like to know.

250
00:21:37,421 --> 00:21:39,421
- Dad!
- Always wondered.

251
00:21:40,088 --> 00:21:42,108
