Relax your arms or I'll know you're about to attack.
Lesson over.
- Brains. - I thought I'd let Max go first.
You programmed Max to do the Win Chung Sticky Hand Technique?
I wonder if Kayo has finally met her match?
- Oh, Max. - Guess not.
The programme still needs a little fine tuning.
International Rescue, we have a situation.
What's the story Thunderbird 5?
I'm picking up some major seismic activity
in the middle of the Aegean Sea.
- Are you worried about a Tsunami? - No, but I've issued a warning. Just in case.
A lot of sediment just shifted on the ocean floor
and I'm detecting structures down there. They seem to be man-made.
- Want me to get Virgil? - I'm sending a probe down first.
Switching to probe view.
Five...
four...
three...
two...
one.
Thunderbirds Are Go!
2x08 - Lost Kingdom
The World Council Emergency Conference just ended
and the archaeologists agree
it is the Lost City of Atlantis.
Imagine that. A city reappearing
after thousands and thousands of years.
If it's been buried under water for that long,
- there won't be much left that's worth seeing. - On the contrary, Scott.
Particularly if the Solar Kythera survived.
- I'm sorry. The Silica what? - Solar Kythera.
Some say it was the first computer
but nobody knows what it is for sure.
And I'd love to be the man who told them.
I've got a feed coming in. You need to see this.
This is Francois Lemaire bringing you lucky viewers
yet another chance to watch me make history.
- And here we are on the bridge... - Control room.
...control room of my luxury sub, the Jules Verne.
From where I'll be bringing you footage
of the very first human, that's me,
to explore the legendary lost city of Atlantis
and I couldn't do any of this if it wasn't for my helpful assistant...
- Biographer and wife. - ...Madeline.
- Mr Lemaire, on behalf of the... - How dare you jam my signal!
This is a broadcast of the utmost historical value!
As is your location which you could be permanently
damaging by your presence.
Is somebody jealous because someone else got here first?
Somebody is trying to prevent someone else
from destroying priceless artefacts!
So, with the full authority of the World Council,
I order you to leave the area!
All right. I was only trying to bring a bit of culture to the masses.
Your submarine is in a live seaquake zone, Mr Lemaire
I strongly advise for you to leave as fast as you can.
What is this? The International Rescue Baby-Sitting Service?
I am well aware of my location! Thank you.
- Francois, that... - Kind of me to put your safety before my career.
- I know. - That's rever... Oh!
Oh, dear. Silly goose.
Why didn't you tell me I was in the wrong gear?
Great. Now we're stuck.
Seaquake!
- We're going to be buried alive! - Unless we suffocate first.
Something just punctured our air tank.
International Rescue! Come in, International Rescue!
This is International Rescue.
Didn't expect to be hearing from you quite so soon.
Look, sorry if I was a bit snippy with you earlier.
Only we're being crushed and possibly suffocated.
Help!
I'm sending the coordinates to Thunderbird 2.
There is a slow leak in the air tank but they should
- be fine until you get there. - We're coming to.
You get sick on a moving walkway, Brains.
- How you gonna cope if there's a seaquake? - Just fine.
If it means I get to see the Solar Kythera.
Five, four, three, two, one...
Thunderbirds are go!
Hello. How much longer do I have to wait?
It's only been half an hour.
- Is the crack in your tank getting worse? - No. I'm bored.
Patching you through to Thunderbird 2 for an update.
This is Thunderbird 2, Mr Lemaire.
Sorry to keep you waiting. We're overhead.
About to launch Thunderbird 4 to come and get you.
Stand by for launch.
Systems check complete. Docking clamp released.
We are go for module deployment.
Thunderbird 4 is go!
Dive angle calculated. Reaching maximum descent velocity.
Ehm... Gordon. I probably should have mentioned this earlier.
But I tend to get a little seasick.
Really. You don't say?
- What's that? - Aftershock. We need to get out of here. Fast!
I wish I'd had the time to pack my motion sickness pills.
This is Thunderbird 4, Mr Lemaire. I'm going to free your sub.
Careful. The Jules Verne is an expensive piece of equipment.
- Is it Titanium steel or Anechoic-plated? - Ehm...
We'll soon have you on your way.
Any chance my route might cut through Atlantis?
- No chance at all. - Even if I made it worth your while?
I'd die a happy man if I could just see The Temple of the Gods.
I'm telling you, he is after the Solar Kythera.
Was. Past tense. Not gonna happen.
...and it's the most important building in the city.
So there's bound to be proof there that merpeople existed.
Merpeople. You believe in mermaids and mermen?
- Of course. - But that's like believing in elves and unicorns.
- It's crazy to think they exist. - No-one calls me crazy.
I'm going to prove merpeople were real.
Lemaire, wait!
But I never said he was crazy. I said, it's crazy.
I'll tell you what's crazy, Brains.
Us chasing Lemaire into an active quake zone.
Thunderbird 2, I'm in pursuit of the Jules Verne.
Can you stand by to lower a cable?
Already on it. I have you on radar.
If you can get him a little closer, I'll snag him.
Mr Lemaire, this is Thunderbird 4.
You are in an unstable environment.
Rise to the surface now!
Where's he gone? I can't get a lock on him.
Into some kind of building.
We just had another seaquake, Virgil.
If that building collapses, it'll crush them.
Go get 'em but make it fast.
I'm gonna clamp the sub with the grappling arms and drag him out.
FAB.
- It's breathable air. - Well, it better be. Look.
- I'll have to go after them. - We'll come too.
Max's sensors will warn us of any more quakes.
Look at those shapes. Like foam on waves.
This was definitely built by merpeople.
Start rolling. I'll do a piece of camera.
You grabbed me. We ran. I don't have the camera with me.
And we shouldn't be in here!
Lemaire, you're putting yourself and your wife in danger.
We have to leave.
Look. There's solid proof that merpeople existed.
- Can you believe it? - No, I can't believe it.
Not now. We're getting out while we still can.
You go ahead. I'll be right there.
Would you order Max to assist Mr Lemaire from the area?
Oh! Er...
That won't be necessary.
Gordon, Max's sensors show massively increased seismic activity.
Let's pick up speed, people.
The Jules Verne!
Gordon. Come in, Gordon! You OK?
No injuries. Half the building has collapsed.
We're trapped and Thunderbird 4 is on the other side.
- Is it still in one piece? - I'm picking up full readings.
Thunderbird 2, if it helps speed things up,
Lady Penelope is still in the area.
I've already made the call.
- Hello, Gordon. - Lady Penelope.
Aren't you lucky I was around to come and dig you out of trouble.
I'm even happy to be rescued by a lady in a pink submarine
if it gets me away from Lemaire. He is one royal pain in the...
Looks like one good sneeze would bring the whole lot down.
There's no time to wait. You'll have to blast through.
When this quake hits, it's not gonna take any prisoners.
And I don't want you in there when it happens.
- FAB. - Arming the missile, m'lady.
Gordon, Parker's standing by to fire the missile.
Do not fire a missile at my submarine!
I wouldn't need to fire anything at all
if you hadn't led my friends into this situation.
- We're all clear. - Fire, m'lady?
Fire, Parker.
Guys, there's another huge aftershock heading your way.
OK, Lady Penelope, it's all clear in here.
I'll bring Thunderbird 4 in remotely.
Francois, Madeline, get in.
Francois! Come back. It's not safe.
It is. International Rescue's here.
I'll get him. Max, stay there and scan for quakes.
Oh! Wow.
Magnificent.
W-W-Wonderful. The Solar Kythera.
Final proof that merpeople existed.
Spectacular.
- What is it? - A shrine to Poseidon.
Built by merpeople.
- They represent his children. - That's ridiculous.
They're the planets. Clearly it's a map of the sky.
- Oh, dear. - It still works.
Look, it calculates the orbit of the planets. Amazing.
Might we discuss this later? In somewhat safer surroundings.
Thunderbird 2, Max's scanners show local magnetic fields
and radon emissions are spiking and there is a band
of foreshocks moving toward Atlantis. Prepare for impact.
- The quake's gonna hit any minute. - Stabilisers on full thrust
and ready for take-off as soon as Thunderbird 4 gets back.
Gordon, water's flooding in around Thunderbird 4.
Virgil is standing by. What's your ETA?
- Two minutes tops. - Copy that.
There's no way out.
I'll get Virgil to fire a depth charge to clear a route.
No. It's too risky. We only have one option.
Get Thunderbird 4 and meet me in The Temple of the Gods.
- What are you going to do? - If you make a map of the sky,
you have to be able to see the sky to map it.
- I think the temple roof opens. - Francois, no!
What can I say? You married a hero.
And think of the book sales.
Thunderbird 2, there's been a slight change of plan.
- What are we looking for? - Something to open the roof.
- Why would it be up here? - I think this is a viewing platform.
Or an altar... for Merpeople to worship Poseidon.
You never give up, do you?
This one controls rotation. Keep climbing.
Take my hand.
- Thank you. - Don't mention it.
This is all an elaborate puzzle.
Thunderbird 5, I could use some extra number crunching.
That's a first. Alright. Looks like the first dial sets orbit speed.
And these represent dates on a calendar.
But what date do we use?
- Try the merpeople's birthday. - Actually, that might work.
EOS, run a planetary simulation and look for an alignment date.
There. Got it.
Gamma. Epsilon.
Yes, that's it. Well done. You're doing really well.
Level 2 complete. This reminds me of Mermans and Dragons 3.
- We're at the next controller. - Running the numbers now.
- Zeta. Delta. - Got it.
Jump!
I'm slipping! Argh!
Now who's crazy? This is my bestselling book cover.
- Thanks. - One more to go.
This one controls azimuth. John?
Beta. Delta.
Alpha. Gamma.
Yes!
Wow! We're at the top of the mechanism.
- We've found the mechanism. - Can I help?
Just be ready to pick us up when we're finished.
We're just trying to open the roof.
Hang in there, Brains. I'm coming.
Now for the fun part. Ready FAB 1?
Parker loves playing pinball, don't you, Parker?
Not when I'm the ball, m'lady.
It's opening!
Ah. We did it, Max.
Let's get outta here.
Could you get a wiggle on delivering me back to Madeline?
I need to start her planning my publicity.
I'm going on an 'I-proved-merpeople-exist' tour.
- Oh! - Snappy title.
Lady Penelope, we have a passenger for you.
Standing by.
Now, don't go all mushy when you thank me.
I do hate big displays of emotion.
Thank you?! For what?!
If it hadn't been for me, you'd never have seen Atlantis.
- Bye-z-bye. - Bye-z-bye?
Poor Brains. Waited a lifetime to see the Solar Kythera.
Then never had a chance to examine it properly.
I saw it working. Oh, did I see it working.
And I got a scan. We're going to rebuild it in the assembly hangar.
In full scale!
So, I guess you'll be wanting to go on more adventures with the boys, now?
Perhaps. As long as Mr Lemaire stays out of them.
I'm thinking a swim before dinner. Anyone else?
- I'm in. - Me too.
- Why not? - Brains?
I've had quite enough water for one day.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have an ancient celestial device to build.
Need any help? I can call in some mermen!
Very funny, Gordon.
