Thunderbirds Page #3

Synopsis: The year is 2010. Teenager Alan Tracy, sent off to a distant boarding school, is the youngest of the sons of Jeff Tracy, a retired American astronaut. 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. Their futuristic hardware is largely developed by a genius scientist known as Brains, who lives at the International Rescue base on Tracy Island, somewhere in the Pacific.

You won't even listen to me!

I've heard enough.

You're grounded for the rest of spring break.

- But, Dad!

- Bottom line, Alan. You need to grow up.

Then let me.

Please!

(Bleeping)

Hey, John. I was just about to turn in.

What can I do for you?

'l could use a pizza.

You know a place that delivers?'

'30 minutes or it's free, right?

Anything else on your mind?'

Got a forest fire in Vladivostok,

a typhoon heading for Singapore.

- What's happening on Planet Tracy?

- Alan's home for spring break.

Yeah. I thought I could see a storm brewing.

- 'Teenagers!'

- We've all been there.

Dad, you've done a great job since Mom died.

Thanks, John.

Keep an eye on that typhoon for us.

- 'I'll call Vladivostok, see if they need help.'

- FAB, Dad. Sleep tight.

- Morning, Dad.

- Hey, son.

There's something I'd like to sh...sh...

Here, take a look.

- The neural-net control system?

- It's great to have you back.

I bet you didn't think spring break was going to be

this w...w...fun.

Watch this.

And that tiny phone lifts up...

Perfect.

Dad?

- N...n... Almost perfect.

- There's something I want to talk to you about.

Oh. Right. Oh. OK, right.

Are you having problems

with a g...g...whoo...female?

N-no! No!

Alan and I found a gallium compound

on the nose cone of Thunderbird 1.

We should check that out strai...

immediately.

That'd be g...g...swell!

The island is in sight.

- Transom, I need you.

- Yes, sir.

Sir, our cloaking device

has evaded their detection systems.

We have a positive visual from

the tracking solution on Thunderbird 1.

- Mullion?

- Sir?

Sir, armed and ready.

Shall I target the main structure?

Why would I want to destroy

what will soon be mine?

A tenet of Eastern martial arts is to use

your opponent's strength against him.

This is ridiculous.

It will be impossible to force

the Thunderbirds to leave their island.

On the other hand,

it requires no effort at all to let them go.

The Thunderbirds' purpose is to rescue.

All we need do is give them the victim.

- Commence targeting.

- Straightaway, sir.

Target acquisition of Thunderbird 5 is locked.

Fire.

(Alarm beeping)

- 'Red Alert.'

- What the...?

'lmpact imminent.'

Thunderbird 5 to Tracy lsland.

Mayday! Mayday!

'Red alert!

'Red alert!

'Red alert!'

Switching to Command and Control Centre.

How bad, Brains?

Thunderbird 5, major damage sustained.

Possible m...m... Possible strike by m...

- Meteor?

- Yeah.

Thunderbirds are go.

- Check retros.

- Go.

'Guidance systems: green.'

'Go to maximum thrust.'

There goes the cavalry.

But who will rescue the rescuers?

Alan! Tintin!

Thunderbird 5 has been hit!

- Thunderbird 5 has been hit!
