Jeff, a widower, has formed International Rescue, and raised his sons to act as a secret, volunteer organization which uses highly advanced technology to save lives worldwide. Jeff and his older sons John, Virgil, Scott, and Gordon, who like Alan were named after the Mercury Seven astronauts are joined in this effort by Lady Penelope and her butler/chauffeur Parker.

But it's what we do.

Was the fire causing thermal updraughts?

Enough shop talk.

I want to hear about school.

School's boring.

Maybe I could be home-educated now.

That way, I could sit in on missions.

- What do you think?

- No short cuts, Alan.

No school, no rockets.

Why aren't you wearing your retainer?

So the wind is blowing 60 knots,

right up my keister.

Did you readjust the flaps?

Of course! It's not my first day in a Thunderbird.

- Keep up!

- Don't you have homework?

Unless he's blown up this school,

like the last one!

- Keep Alan away from the ships.

- That's enough. Pass the salad.

- I haven't seen that much fire since Fiji.

- That was lstanbul.

- lstanbul was the earthquake.

- Nothing compares to Argentina.

Dad, I'm not really hungry.

- Come on, Fermat. Let's go.

- But...

I'm not done!

- Come on.

- OK.

Kyrano, have you seen Lady P?

- By the pool.

- Of course.

(Thunderbirds theme ringtone)

Parker.

- We're not supposed to go in there.

- You worry too much.

Where'd you get the access code?

Fermat, my friend,

what you don't know can't hurt you.

I'll be right there.

- The fire at the rig was no accident.

- Any suspects?

- Not yet.

- Thanks for bringing Alan home.

My pleasure. Any excuse to visit paradise.

- Tintin!

- Hey, Mr Tracy.

- Hello, Tintin.

- Lady Penelope.

- Did you know Alan's home?

- Alan's back?

I mean, oh, Alan's back!

Hey, Dad.

When are those two going to get along?

When Tintin decides to.

Girls are always ahead of boys

at that sort of thing.

- What sort of thing?

- Romance.

- Alan and Tintin? I didn't see that one coming.

- No, you wouldn't.

- Have a safe flight home, Penny.

- Thanks, Jeff.

OK, Fermat. Run pre-flight checks.

Right. Hydraulic systems

- are green.

- Commence main engine sequence.

FAB, Alan.

Couldn't hurt to just fire up the instruments.

No way, Alan!

- Wrong switch!

- 'Warning. Engine sequence: breach.

'Warning. Engine sequence: breach.'

(Beeping)

- Could this day get any worse?

- 'Alan, my office. Now.'

It just did.

- I can't believe it.

- We're so busted.

- Look at this.

- What is it?

Looks like some sort of...

gallium-electrolyte compound.

Gotta get out of here.

Dad, I know I shouldn't have been in the ship, but...

- You're damn right you shouldn't!

- But I had it under control.

Under control? Do you have any idea

of the importance of secrecy in our operation?

You fired up

without the anti-detection shield.

You put everyone in danger

when you act selfishly.

You want to be part of the team,

you play by the rules. Understand?

- Do you?

- Yeah, I understand.

You don't want me to be a Thunderbird.

You don't want me to do anything.
