THUNDERBIRDS
Written by
Peter Hewitt, William Osborne & Michael McCullers
Animated scenes of the Thunderbirds on various rescues begin
to play as some of the cast and crew names show up.
NARRATOR
From a secret island in the South Pacific,
the courageous Tracy family run an organization
called International Rescue. When disaster strikes, anywhere
in the world, they are always first on the
scene. They go by the name they gave their incredible machines,
the Thunderbirds.
(Counts down numbers and shows corresponding
Thunderbirds) Five, four, three, two, one. Thunderbirds are go!
Cuts to live action, Alan Tracy is looking out a school window.
But in this family of heroes, there is one son left behind.
TEACHER
So, gentlemen, we all know that A2 plus
B2 equals... C2, that's right. But what
happens when we bring in Leonardo Da Vinci's E,
F and... (Teacher notices Alan looking out window
and not paying attention to the lesson) Mr. Tracy!
FERMAT
Alan. Alan!
Alan's head jerks back from the window and to the teacher who
is now standing in front of him.
TEACHER
How kind of you to come back from outer
space, Alan. I trust re-entry wasn't
too rough?
(Chuckles sarcastically and continues sounding even more annoyed)
Here on Earth we've been discussing the Pythagorean
theorem. Did any of that happen to sink in?
ALAN TRACY
I was just...
TEACHER
Apparently not (she picks up his notebook
which he has been doodling in) "Thunderbirds
are go."
Well, I hope you aren't going anywhere special over spring
break, Alan. Because I expect a 10,000 word paper on my desk
the day you get back. That should keep you busy.
Bells rings dismissing the students and Alan and Fermat walk
out to their lockers.
ALAN
(mocking the teacher) "That should keep
you busy. Yeah, well you can take your
10,000 words
and stick them right up your..."
FERMAT
Alan!
Both boys turn around to see the headmaster approaching them
while walking by with the teacher from before
ALAN
Headmaster.
HEADMASTER
Mr. Tracy!
ALAN
Miss Garrett.
FERMAT
You gotta be more careful Alan.
ALAN
Why can't I tell 'em I'm a Thunderbird
Fermat?
FERMAT
Because technically you're not a Thunderbirds
yet. And if your identity was discovered,
it would a d-d-di- it could be very bad.
ALAN
I know, I know.
EXCITED KID
It's the Thunderbirds. They're gonna
be on TV. Let's go! They're gonna be
on TV.
ALAN
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Where are they?
EXCITED KID
In Russia, at an oil rig fire.
ALAN
Great! I'm stuck at school and my brothers
are on another cool mission.
FERMAT
Wanna watch?
ALAN
Yeah!
Boys go into a crowded room with a TV on the news channel
LISA LOWE
We are told this super-rig is now in
danger of total collapse.
And there is real concern for the lives of six
men who remain trapped on board.
An emergency call went out to the Thunderbirds just a few minutes
ago. They should be here any moment now.
(pauses and points at the sky while exclaiming excitedly)
And here they are!
The boys watching the TV begin to cheer
SCOTT TRACY
Thunderbird 2 this is Thunderbird 1.
I have visual, south
column, they're trapped on an inspection platform.
JEFF TRACY
FAB. We'll take it from here.
MULLION
Come on! Come on!
JEFF
Scott, get out. That tower's coming
down.
SCOTT
Got it.
A blast of fire hits Thunderbird 1 and sends it a little farther
away from the accident zone.
JEFF
Thunderbird 1 any damage?
SCOTT
Negative, Dad.
ALAN
Come on, come on! Swing around. You
can't get close enough, taking that
approach angle.
JEFF
This approach angle's no good. Gonna
have to swing her around.
SCOTT
Watch the wind shear Thunderbird 2.
JEFF
Scotty, I was watching for wind shear
when you were still wearing diapers.
ALAN
Come on, Dad.
A blast of fire comes toward Thunderbird 2
JEFF
Whoa! Hold on!
SCOTT
Who needs the diapers now, Dad?
FERMAT
What do they do now?
ALAN
Probably drop the rescue platform from
Thunderbird 2.
VIRGIL TRACY
Open 'em up. Here we go. Rescue platform's
on its way.
JEFF
Virgil, how's it going?
VIRGIL
It's looking good, Dad.
CREW MEMBER
Come on! Jump!
VIRGIL
Okay, I've got a visual. Hold it there.
Targets locked. Firing rescue lines.
(Directed toward the
crew members who he just fired the rescue lines toward) Come
on, guys, hook 'em up. We gotta get
you out of here.
CREW MEMBER
READY
ANOTHER CREW MEMBER
HOIST AWAY!
JEFF
Alright, let's haul them out.
FERMAT
Commencing reverse thrust.
JEFF
Okay, let's bring 'em home.
CREW MEMBER
Look out! (a couple of crew members
bump into each other as they are hoisted
up)
ALAN
Man they gotta get 'em out fast. That
rig's gonna blow.
CREW MEMBER
Hang on!
Boys watching the TV gasp as the crew goes down back toward the
water a little bit
JEFF
Whoa sorry, boys. Hold on tight. Here
we go.
ALAN
Come on, Virgil.
VIRGIL
Hold on guys
JEFF
How you doing, son?
VIRGIL
Never better
JEFF
Thunderbird 1, commence knockdown procedure.
SCOTT
FAB, Thunderbird 2. (after pressing
a bunch of buttons on his control panel)
Lining up target.
Fire!
JEFF
Bull's-eye! Outstanding shot. All right
boys, let's take these babies home.
LISA LOWE
As you can see the fire has been extinguished.
The rocket fired from Thunderbird 1
has
robbed it of the oxygen it needed to burn. Amazing! The Thunderbirds
have done it again, Chuck! '
The boys watching the TV with Alan and Fermat begin cheering.
CHUCK
That was great work, Lisa. Thanks a
lot.
KNOW IT ALL KID
(directed at Alan) Ooh, I wish I could
be a Thunderbird one
day. Thunderturd!
The boys in the room "ooohh" and look at Alan for a response
ALAN
That's another good one, diaper boy.
All the boys look at the Know It All Kid and laugh
HEADMASTER
Tracy! (after finding Alan in the sea
of boys he continues) There's someone
here for you.
Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward, at your service. Alan darling,
your father's been unexpectedly detained.
And he's asked me to pick you up. Is that all right?
FERMAT
Sure beats the bus!
ALAN
Definitely!
LADY PENELOPE
Fantastic. Now, will any of these gorgeous
young things be joining you?
All of the boys raise their hands and shout for Alan to choose
them.
ALAN
Just Fermat.
LADY PENELOPE
Quite right.
ALAN
Lady Penelope, why are you in America?
Are you on a mission for my father?
LADY PENELOPE
Alan, shh! I am an undercover agent,
so please try to be discreet. (camera
pans over to
Lady Penelope's pink car with Parker, her butler waiting by the
open door.) Here we are.
FERMAT
Hi, Parker.
PARKER
Good afternoon, Master Hackenbacker.
ALAN
Hi, Nosey.
PARKER
Less of that attitude, or I shall be
obliged to deliver the Parker Haymaker.
ALAN
Okay, bring it on, big guy.
They are all in the car and Parker is driving away
LADY PENELOPE
Try not to run over any children, Parker.
PARKER
Very good, milady.
LADY PENELOPE
Come on, Parker, chop chop!
Lady Penelope's begins to fly
ALAN
All right!
FERMAT
Whoa!
ALAN
YES!
FERMAT
Yeah! the boys high five
LADY PENELOPE
(reading a newspaper) Oh, look, Parker.
Pink is the new black this season.
PARKER
I'm very glad to hear it, milady.
LADY PENELOPE
And hemlines are going up.
PARKER
That is good news, milady.
LADY PENELOPE
Oh and apparently England won the football
last night.
PARKER
Yes! Eng-er-land! (his hands go off
the steering wheel and the car begins
to move to one side)
FERMAT AND ALAN
Whoa!
LADY PENELOPE
Calm down, Parker.
PARKER
Yes, milady. Sorry, milady.
SCENE CHANGE TO
San Francisco City Hospital California,
USA parking lot.
PANHEAD'S MOTHER
Come on, baby. Out you jump. (Turns
to her teenage son who has a pan stuck
on
his head) Wait till your father hears about this, panhead! They
are walking toward the hospital
entrance when she sees the lights of Thunderbird 2 Aliens!
PANHEAD
Even better! It's the Thunderbirds!
VIRGIL
OK, lock it up. Let's go. Let's move
it. Hey, we need some help over here.
JEFF
Mission complete. Thunderbird 1 we are
good to go.
SCOTT
FAB.
Mullion walks away from the others and fires a tracking goo at
Thunderbird 1.
Scene switches to a moving underwater submarine
MALE COMPUTER VOICE
Tracking device, activated.
THE HOOD
Ah, the chariot of the gods. Having
dallied with the mortals,
they return to Olympus. And so I follow.
PARKER
Pardon me, milady. Approaching Tracy
Island. And radar indicates we have
some company.
Thunderbird 1 and 2 pull up next to Lady Penelope's flying car
and Scott waves at Alan before Alan
turns to look at Thunderbird 2 where his father salutes at him.
Thunderbird 1 then does a barrel roll
around Thunderbird 2 before they both jet off toward the island,
leaving Lady Penelope's car behind.
LADY PENELOPE
Now, that's showing off.
ALAN
I wish that was me.
BRAINS
I'm about to run post flight checks,
Mr Tracy. Anything I sh-sh-sh-
Anything you want to tell me?
JEFF
Brains, I noticed a build-up of vibration
on Thunderbird 2, followed by illumination
of the number 5
engine out light.
BRAINS
Okay, Mr. Tracy, I'll ch-ch-ch-study
the flight data and guidance processor.
ALAN
Dad!
JEFF
Alan! Let me look at you. He hold Alan
at arm's length and then looks him over.
He then looks
over and sees his older sons approaching. Ah oh look out.
VIRGIL
Hey Sprout! ruffles his hair
SCOTT
ruffles his hair Hey Buddy!
ONAHA
Dinner's ready. Come and get it.
JEFF
Onaha, it smells delicious. I am starved.
ALAN
So Dad, I saw the mission on TV. It
looked dangerous.
JEFF
Saving lives is a dangerous business.
But it's what we do.
ALAN
Do you think the fire was caused by
thermal up draughts? I mean that would
explain the-- (Jeff
cuts him off)
JEFF
Whoa, whoa, whoa, enough shop talk.
I want to hear about school.
ALAN
School's boring. Plus I've been thinking,
maybe I could be home-educated now.
That way, I could
sit in on missions from time to time. What do you think?
JEFF
No short cuts, Alan. No school, no rockets.
Say, why aren't you wearing your retainer?
SCOTT
So I'm getting the reading telling me
that the wind is blowing 60 knots, right
up my keister.
VIRGIL
No kidding.
ALAN
Did you try readjust the flaps?
SCOTT
Well that's the first thing I did, Sprout!
It's not my first day in a Thunderbird
you know.
GORDON
Try and keep up!
VIRGIL
Yeah and don't you have homework to
do or something?
GORDON
Unless he's blown up this school, like
the last one!
SCOTT
Yeah, keep Alan away from the ships,
he's a hazard.
JEFF
Okay, that's enough. Pass the salad.
VIRGIL
Man, I haven't seen that much fire since
that volcano in Fiji.
SCOTT
That wasn't Fiji that was Istanbul.
VIRGIL
No, no, Istanbul was the earthquake.
SCOTT
Yeah well, nothing compares to Argentina.
ALAN
Dad, I'm not really hungry. Come on,
Fermat. Let's go.
FERMAT
But! I'm not done! (sighs) Okay.
After dinner
JEFF
Kyrano, have you seen Lady P?
KYRANO
By the pool.
JEFF
Of course.
LADY PENELOPE
(answers her ringing cell phone) Parker.
Scene changes to Alan and Fermat about to enter Thunderbird 1's
silo.
FERMAT
We're not supposed to go in there. We
could get in trouble.
ALAN
Ah, you worry too much.
FERMAT
Where'd you get the access code for
Thunderbird 1 anyway?
ALAN
Fermat, my friend, what you don't know,
can't hurt you.
Scene changes back to Lady Penelope and Jeff by the pool
LADY PENELOPE
I'll be right there. It seems the fire
at the oil rig was no accident.
JEFF
Any suspects?
LADY PENELOPE
Not yet, but I'll keep you posted.
ALAN
Thanks for bringing Alan home.
LADY PENELOPE
My pleasure. Any excuse to visit paradise.
JEFF
Tintin!
TINTIN
Hey, Mr. Tracy.
LADY PENELOPE
Hello, Tintin.
TINTIN
Good evening, Lady Penelope.
JEFF
Did you know Alan's home?
TINTIN
(makes an annoyed face) Alan's back?
(changes her tone to a more pleasant
one) I mean, oh,
Alan's back! (looks at Kyrano) Hey, Dad.
JEFF
When are those two going to get along?
LADY PENELOPE
When Tintin decides the time is right.
Girls always fire ahead of boys with
that sort of
thing.
JEFF
What sort of thing?
LADY PENELOPE
(rolls her eyes) Romance.
JEFF
Alan and Tintin? I didn't see that one
coming.
LADY PENELOPE
No, you wouldn't.
JEFF
Have a safe flight home, Penny.
LADY PENELOPE
Thanks, Jeff.
Scene switches to Fermat and Alan playing around in Thunderbird
1 like they are really about to fly it
into a mission.
ALAN
Okay, Fermat. Run pre-flight checks.
FERMAT
Right. Hydraulic systems are green.
ALAN
Commence main engine sequence.
FERMAT
FAB, Alan.
ALAN
Couldn't hurt to just fire up the instruments.
FERMAT
No wait, Alan! That's the(Thunderbird
1 begins to start up and Fermat shouts)
Wrong switch!
ALAN
Oh God. (There is loud beeping coming
from the control panel and the boys
can't shut down
Thunderbird 1) Oh, could this day get any worse?
Scene briefly changes to Jeff getting an alert in his office.
JEFF
(his face appears on a monitor in Thunderbird
1) Alan, my office. Now. (Thunderbird
1 shuts
down)
FERMAT
It just did.
The boys walk out of Thunderbird 1 and are walking toward the
silo door. Fermat is running his hand
on the nosecone of Thunderbird 1.
ALAN
I can't believe it.
FERMAT
We're so b-b-busted.
Fermat's hand touches the goo that Mullion fired at Thunderbird
1 earlier.
FERMAT
Look at this.
ALAN
What is it?
FERMAT
Looks like some sort of, gallium-electrolyte
compound.
ALAN
We gotta get out of here.
Scene changes to Alan walking into his dad's office.
ALAN
Dad, I know you're mad. I shouldn't
have been in the ship, but if you just
give me a minute to
explain- (Jeff cuts him off)
JEFF
You're damn right you shouldn't have
been in there!
ALAN
But, nothing happened Dad. I had it
under control.
JEFF
Under control? Do you have any idea
of the importance of secrecy in our
operation? You fired up
a Thunderbird without activating the anti-detection shield. You
put everyone in danger when you act
selfishly. You want to be part of the team, you have to play
by the rules. You understand? (Alan just
looks at him) Do you?
ALAN
Yeah, I understand. I understand you
don't want me to be a Thunderbird. You
don't want me to
do anything. You won't even listen to me when I'm trying to tell
you something important!
JEFF
I've heard enough. You're grounded for
the rest of spring break.
ALAN
But, Dad!
JEFF
Bottom line, Alan. You need to grow
up.
ALAN
Then let me. (he stalks toward the door
before whispering,) Please!
Jeff is starting at two old family photos on his desk when the
video phone rings.
JEFF
Hey, John. I was just about to turn
in. What can I do for you?
JOHN TRACY
I could sure use a pizza. You know a
place that delivers?
JEFF
30 minutes or it's free, right? Anything
else on your mind?
JOHN
Well, got a forest fire in Vladivostok,
a typhoon heading for Singapore. What's
happening on
Planet Tracy?
JEFF
Alan's home for spring break.
JOHN
Yeah, I thought I could see a storm
brewing in your region.
JEFF
Teenagers.
JOHN
Well, we've all been there. And Dad,
you've done a great job since Mom died.
JEFF
Thanks, John. Keep an eye on that typhoon
for us. And, uh, I'll call Vladivostok,
see if they need
help with that fire.
JOHN
FAB, Dad. Sleep tight.
Fermat is down with his father in the Thunderbirds hanger.
FERMAT
Morning, Dad.
BRAINS
Hey, son. There's something I'd like
to sh-sh-sh- Here, take a look.
FERMAT
The neural-net control system?
BRAINS
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.
Brains uses the neural-net control system to lift up the phone
in front of him. It also lifts up the Mole
which is stationed behind his workplace.
BRAINS
And that tiny phone lifts up, perfect.
FERMAT
Dad?
The neural-net control system short circuits.
BRAINS
N-n-n- Almost perfect.
FERMAT
There's something I want to talk to
you about.
BRAINS
Oh. Right. Oh. OK, right. You're having
problems with a g-g-g-chi-chi-chi-wo-wo-female?
FERMAT
N-no! No. Alan and I found some sort
of gallium compound on the nosecone
of Thunderbird
1.
BRAINS
We should check that out st-st-st-immediately.
FERMAT
That'd be g-g-g-swell!
Scene skips to Alan skipping rocks at the beach. The camera
follows one rock and it leads to a
telescope coming out of the water. The telescope is connected
to the Hood's submarine.
MULLION
The island is in sight.
THE HOOD
Transom, I need you.
TRANSOM
Yes, sir. Sir, our cloaking device has
evaded their detection
systems. We have a positive visual from the tracking solution
on Thunderbird 1.
THE HOOD
Mullion.
MULLION
Sir? Sir, armed and ready. Shall I target
the main structure?
THE HOOD
Why would I want to destroy what will
soon be mine? One of the principle tenets
of Eastern
martial arts is to use your opponent's strength against him.
The Hood uses his powers to keep Mullion in place
MULLION
(trying to move and realizing that he
can't) This is ridiculous.
THE HOOD
It will be almost impossible to force
the Thunderbirds to leave their island.
On the other
hand, it requires no effort at all to let them go.
The Hood stops using his powers on Mullion and Mullion falls
over.
THE HOOD
The Thunderbirds' purpose is to rescue.
All we need do is give them the victim.
(The Hood
looks at Transom) Commence targeting.
TRANSOM
Straightaway, sir. Target acquisition
of Thunderbird 5 is locked.
THE HOOD
Fire.
Transom fires a missile at Thunderbird 5.
Scene switches to John on Thunderbird 5 when suddenly alarms
start to go off around him.
JOHN
What the?
JOHN
Thunderbird 5 to Tracy Island. Mayday!
Mayday!
Missile hits Thunderbird 5 and John is blow back into a wall
from the explosion. The scene then
switches over to Tracy Island.
Brains and Fermat run into Jeff's office.
BRAINS
Switching to Command and Control Center.
(Brains uses a palm scanner to activate
Command
and Control)
The submarine is briefly showed getting closer to the island.
Jeff, Scott, Virgil, and Gordon come running into Command and
Control.
JEFF
How bad, Brains?
BRAINS
Thunderbird 5 major damage sustained.
Possible m-m-m-Possible strike by m-
JEFF
Meteor?
BRAINS
Yep.
JEFF
Thunderbirds are go.
Scene change to inside Thunderbird 3.
GORDON
Check retros. Go.
JEFF
Go to maximum thrust.
Scene switches to the submarine.
THE HOOD
There goes the cavalry. But who will
rescue the rescuers?
Scene changes to Alan on the beach looking up at Thunderbird
3 launching and heading toward
Thunderbird 5. Tintin runs up beside him and looks up as well.
FERMAT
Alan! Tintin! Thunderbird 5 has been
hit! Thunderbird 5 has been hit! Thunderbird
5 has been
hit!
ALAN
Okay, Okay, Okay, Okay, Okay don't panic.
Don't panic.
The children look toward the beach when they hear a noise and
see the submarine beginning to
surface.
ALAN
On the other hand.
ALAN, FERMAT, TINTIN
Run!
The kids run and hide behind some trees and shrubs. Scene then
switches to inside the submarine.
MULLION
We made land.
THE HOOD
(directed toward Transom) Cut them off.
TRANSOM
Activating communications blackout.
Scene switch to Brains in Command and Control
BRAINS
What the he-he-devil is going on?
BRAINS
Mr. Tracy, do you copy?
BRAINS
Thunderbird 3 please respond.
Scene switch back to the kids hiding on the beach.
ALAN
How'd they find the island? Do you think
it was what I did in Thunderbird 1?
Do you think I ruined
everything?
FERMAT
No! That compound we found could have
some sort of transmitting capability.
TINTIN
We have to do something.
FERMAT
My dad's in the control room, but how
do we get there now?
ALAN
The vents. Let's go! We have to get
a message to my dad.
Scene switch to Thunderbird 5
JOHN
I'm losing all power. Repeat, I'm losing
all power.
JEFF
Hold on, John. We're coming in. Gordon,
prepare for immediate docking.
GORDON
You got it, Dad. Reverse main thrusters
on my mark. Three, two, one.
JEFF
Easy. Watch the roll.
VIRGIL
Roll index angle minus two degrees.
GORDON
We're locked on.
JEFF
Nice work
SCOTT
Tunnel hatch secured.
JEFF
Emergency packs boys. Let's move!
JEFF
We're in. Let's go!
Jeff, Scott, Virgil, and Gordon are now in the damaged Thunderbird
5 with John.
JEFF
John! Scott, tackle that fire.
JOHN
Am I glad to see you guys!
JEFF
Easy, you're hurt. Virgil, take care
of your brother. Gordon, give me a damage
assessment.
Scene switch to back on the island. The kids are running through
the jungle while heading toward the
vents and the Hood and his crew are heading toward Command and
Control.
ALAN
Come on, hurry!
Inside the Tracy house Transom has found the closed door to Command
and Control center. Using an
electronic device she finds out what type of door it is.
TRANSOM
One-inch steel plate, with sequential
titanium locking mechanism.
MULLION (Looks and door and pops his joints) I love a challenge.
Scene changes to right outside the Tracy house as the kids are
approaching the vents.
FERMAT
Watch out for the guards.
ALAN
Get in, get in.
Scene switches to Brains sitting nervously in the Command and
Control room, whistling nervously to
himself and reading a magazine upside down. On the other side
of the door there is muffled banging
from where Mullion is trying to break open the door.
BRAINS
(Door bursts open and Mullion, Transom,
and the Hood walk in) Who-o-o-o- What's
going on?
THE HOOD
So, this is Mount Olympus. And these
are the Thunderbirds. I should have
guessed. Jeff
Tracy, the billionaire, ex-astronaut, of course. Isn't he the
one who lost his wife in an accident?
Avalanche wasn't it? How tragic.
Scene switches to Alan, Tintin, and Fermat walking in the vents
toward the one that leads to the
Command and Control room.
ALAN
(Whispers) Just keep going straight
ahead.
TINTIN
(whispers) Okay.
Scene switches back to Command and Control room.
TRANSOM
Professor Hackenbacker? We met at last
year's international conference on
nanotechnology. I thought your thesis on neutrinos was extremely,
stimulating.
THE HOOD
Transom, concentrate!
TRANSOM
Sorry, sir. The command control switch,
is here. Fingerprint recognition system.
THE HOOD
Professor. Please. Activate the control
switch.
BRAINS
N-n-n-n-n- You must be kidding.
THE HOOD
Professor, you and I share an interest
in the science of the mind. The difference
is, I was
born with my powers. Trust me when I tell you, you've barely
touched the surface. (Brains is forced to
stand up and walked over to the Hood) Even the strongest minds
can be broken. It would be a pity to
break yours.
BRAINS
Fu-Fu-Fu- No way!
THE HOOD
Activate the control switch, Prof! (Uses
his powers to make BRAINS move) Like
a puppet on
a string! (laughs)
Brains hand touches the activation pad.
TRANSOM
We have control.
MULLION
(To Brains) Get up.
TRANSOM
Sorry, Professor. Nothing personal.
Scene briefly switches to the children's worried faces in the
vents. Scene then changes back to
Thunderbird 5, where the control panel is buzzing.
SCOTT
We got a warning light on our EPS system.
JEFF
Attempt manual override.
SCOTT
No, that's negative!
Scene switches back to Alan, Tintin, and Fermat in the vents.
ALAN
That's it.
FERMAT
Okay, this one.
Scene switches to Thunderbird 5.
JEFF
Back to Thunderbird 3 now. (turns to
help an injured John) John, we gotta
move.
GORDON
The locking mechanism's jammed!
THE HOOD
Attention, Thunderbird 5. As you can
see I have taken over your facilities.
You no longer
control your operational systems.
Scene change back to the kids in the vent. They can stick their
heads out of the vent and see into the
Command and Control Room, but they are hidden behind a panel
and the Hood and his minions
cannot see them.
ALAN
They've taken over.
THE HOOD
Warm them up, Transom.
TRANSOM
Increasing temperature to maximum.
The children are now looking into the Command and Control room.
Kyrano and his wife, Onaha, are
dragged in.
ALAN
Who's the bald freak?
KYRANO
You? The Hood uses his powers on him
and he falls down clutching his head.
TINTIN
Dad!
FERMAT
They've got m-my dad.
JEFF
Okay, you have our attention. Who are
you? What do you want?
THE HOOD
Oh how rude of me. You can call me The
Hood. Now, listen, Mr. Tracy. We won't
be
negotiating. I'm going to use the Thunderbirds to rob the largest
banks in the world, starting with the
Bank of London. The world's monetary system will be thrown into
chaos and the Thunderbirds held
responsible.
SCOTT
You'll never get away with it.
JEFF
Why the Thunderbirds?
THE HOOD
An eye for an eye, Mr. Tracy.
JEFF
An eye for an eye?
THE HOOD
Perhaps you've forgotten me, but surely
you remember saving the life of my brother,
Kyrano?
KYRANO
Turns to the video phone that the Hood
has been using to communicate with Thunderbird
5.
I'm sorry, Mr. Tracy. I thought he was dead.
THE HOOD
(Laughs and then turns to the guards)Take
them away.
MULLION
Yes, sir.
The kids lift their heads back up into the vents
ALAN
Whoa.
TINTIN
That makes The Hood my uncle?
FERMAT
Every family has a black sh-sh- a black
sh- (Sneezes and everyone in the Command
and
Control room looks around, while Brains pretends that it was
him that sneezed.)
FERMAT
(Turns to look at Alan) This room's
murder with my allergies.
The kids stick their heads back out the vent and look at what
is going on in the Command and Control
room.
THE HOOD
You left me to die that day. You may
have broken my body but you've no idea
how
powerful my mind has become. And now you will suffer, as I suffered,
waiting for a rescue that will
never come. (Makes a motion for Transom to cut off the call with
Thunderbird 5.)
JEFF
Wait! (Video link cuts dead and then
the scene cuts to Thunderbird 5.) Scott,
status report.
SCOTT
CO2 levels are rising.
JEFF
Alright, wire the oxygen scrubber to
the emergency batteries. Clean the air.
VIRGIL
How long will that give us?
JOHN
About four hours.
Scene switches back to the kids looking into the Command and
Control room. Fermat begins to start
sneezing again. Tintin and Alan put their hands over his nose
and mouth to try and muffle the sound.)
MULLION
Someone's there. (Mullion walks over
to the ceiling, he is standing directly
below where
they are. The kids are trying to leave the vents when his hand
shoots up through the ceiling and grabs
Alan's ankle. He lets go after Tintin bites his hand and he gasps
in pain.)
The children are now talking loudly and everyone in the Command
and Control room can hear them.
TINTIN
Run! Run!
ALAN
No, jump! We can get through to the
silos.
The children scream as they fall down a tunnel leading to the
silos. And the scene switches to the
Command and Control room.
THE HOOD
Apparently, the island is not as secure
as you thought. (he looks at the old
photos that were
on Jeff's desk. Children! Did you find any children?
TRANSOM
(Using the security cameras to see into
the silos) Here they are. Thunderbird
2 silo, in the
loading arm.
Mullion and two other guards run off to get them
THE HOOD
(Speaking to Transom) Seal them in.
ALAN
Hold on!
TINTIN
The doors! You guys, let's go! C'mon
FERMAT
Go! Go!
The children reach the door that leads to Thunderbird 3's silo
just as it closes.
ALAN
This way. (They run toward the still
closing Thunderbird 1 silo door.)
FERMAT
(After the door closes before they can
get through it) No!
TINTIN
They've got us trapped. What now?
FERMAT
If we can get to the Thunderbird 1's
silo, we can escape through the service
tunnel. But we
need a plan, Alan.
ALAN
I'll use the Thunderizer on the door.
guards are in the elevator heading down to come get them)
ALAN
You guys get the goons with the Firefly!
FERMAT
Alan! This equipment is only to be used
in an emergency. (Alan and Tintin give
him looks) I
guess this qualifies.
ALAN
Yeah.
TINTIN
Here they come. Fermat, can you drive
this thing?
FERMAT
Uh, no.
TINTIN
Hey, watch it!
FERMAT
I took microbiology, not driver's ed.
Set the pressure to maximum.
TINTIN
Got it.
MULLION
(The guards walk out of the elevator
and see Tintin pointing the Firefly
at them) Retreat!
(They fall over and have trouble getting up due to the slipperiness
of the stuff fired at them)
TINTIN
Let's move it.
ALAN
That's it. Time to thunderize. (After
the door has a hole cut in it.) Yes!
ALAN
Come on, let's go!
MULLION
Get 'em!
ALAN
Where's Fermat?
TINTIN
Fermat!
ALAN
Fermat!
FERMAT
Coming!
ALAN
Hurry up. (the children are now in Thunderbird
1's silo) What were you doing back there,
Fermat?
FERMAT
I had an-n-n idea.
ALAN
Just try and keep up, okay? I'll open
the tunnel. We gotta keep moving. (Alan
types in a pass
code)
ALAN
(To Tintin and Fermat) Go back. Yell
when you see them coming. (tries another
pass code)
Alan turns away from the door for a moment and the camera can
see The Hood on the other side of
the door. Alan turns back and sees him.
THE HOOD
Alan. You can run if you want. Were
you surprised to hear what your father
did to me? It is
frightening when we realize our parents aren't perfect. But perhaps
you already suspected that about
your father. Why did he build these magnificent machines? Do
you suppose it was guilt? Because he
let your mother die. (Alan shakes his head no) Open the door,
Alan. (Alan continues to shake his head
no) (The Hood chuckles at his refusal) Open, the, door. (He tries
to use his powers on Alan but nothing
happens)
ALAN
(Shouting to Tintin and Fermat) We can't
go this way. He's there.
The Hood uses his powers to open the door and Mullion and the
other guards appear at the other
doorway, leaving the children trapped.
FERMAT
No! (he falls slightly) Ow. What are
we gonna do, Alan?
ALAN
I don't know. I'm thinking, okay? (Alan
looks at the control panel behind the
Hood and sees a
button that will open part of the floor under Thunderbird 1.
Keep backing up. I've got an idea. (Alan
takes his rock launcher from the pouch it is in on the back of
his pants. and fires it at the button, but
misses.)
TINTIN
That's your idea?
THE HOOD
It's not me you're angry at, Alan.
ALAN
It's not you I'm aiming at. (Alan fires
another rock and this time hits the
button and the floor
drops out from underneath Tintin, Fermat, and Alan. Tintin, Fermat,
and Alan scream as they fall.)
THE HOOD
Get them!
MULLION
Transom, fire up Thunderbird 1. And
set it on broil!
The kids look behind them while they are falling down the tunnel
and see the flames coming from
Thunderbird 1 behind them. Tintin screams even louder. The tunnel
opens up and leads to the ocean.
Back in Command and Control
TRANSOM
No sign of them.
MULLION
Of course not, the little brats went
up like firecrackers. Pop, pop, pop!
(laughs at Brains and
Brains moves to punch him.)
THE HOOD
Don't, give him the satisfaction, Professor.
This is taking too long. Pick out the
equipment
you need to get into those banks and load it into Thunderbird
2. No more delays.
MULLION
Yes, sir.
Scene switches to the children trying to get onto the beach,
they are getting knocked over by a couple
of waves. Fermat is coughing and spluttering.
FERMAT
How about a little warning next time
you pull a stunt like that?
ALAN
Relax, Fermat. It's just a little water.
FERMAT
I could have drowned.
ALAN
You mean you can't swim?!
FERMAT
I repeat, I could have drowned.
Scene switches to the boys ringing out their shirts, they are
both in their boxers.
ALAN
I said I was sorry, Fermat. Just put
this behind us, Okay? We gotta watch
each other's backs.
Nice drawers.
FERMAT
Thank you.
TINTIN
Boo!
ALAN
No, c'mon Tintin, stay there.
TINTIN
You're worse than a couple of girls.
Hurry up and get dressed. (To Fermat)
Those are nice
drawers!
Scene switches to the children walking along one of the beaches.
FERMAT
Data from Tracy Island is sent to Thunderbird
5 via satellite, right?
ALAN
Right.
FERMAT
So, there's a miniscule possibility
that if we reach the satellite station,
we could
ALAN
Blow it up!
FERMAT
No, we could hack in to it and give
control back to Thunderbird 5.
ALAN
Good thinking, Fermat. Alright, let's
do it. (Alan starts drawing the plan
in the sand) Here's the
plan. We're here, right?. So, we go along the shore around the
base of the mountain to the access road,
here. And then up to the transmitter. So what do you think?
TINTIN
Good. Except that we're here, not there,
and the transmitter is there, not here.
We have to go
through the jungle.
FERMAT
But that's f-f- off limits.
TINTIN
It's gonna be dangerous.
ALAN
I'm in. (All three of them put their
hands together) We gotta get up there
fast! All our folks are
in trouble and if The Hood gets off the island
FERMAT
Actually, he's not going anywhere for
now.
ALAN
The guidance processor for Thunderbird
2. You can't take off without it. Fermat
you're a genius.
How'd you get this?
FERMAT
Alan, my friend, what you don't know,
can't hurt you.
Scene switches to Lady Penelope's Country Mansion in England,
where Parker is out cleaning a car
when the car phone rings.
LADY PENELOPE
Parker?
PARKER
Milady?
LADY PENELOPE
We have an emergency.
Scene switch to Lady Penelope's bathroom
LADY PENELOPE
What a charming fellow.
Someone knocks on the door.
LADY PENELOPE
Come in.
Parker enters Lady Penelope's bathroom, with tea, where she is
up to her shoulders in bubble bath.
LADY PENELOPE
Have a look at this, Parker. (There
is a computer monitor near her feet.)
He, and this
woman, poor girl, both work for this man, known as The Hood.
PARKER
Sounds like an alias, milady.
LADY PENELOPE
Quite right, Parker. Real name: Trangh
Belagant. Assumed dead when
his illegal diamond mine collapsed in the jungles of the Malaya.
(takes a sip of tea) Oh, perfect, Parker.
The Thunderbirds rescued over 500 mine workers, including Mr.
Belagant's brother.
PARKER
Milady, that's Mr. Tracy's loyal manservant,
Kyrano.
LADY PENELOPE
How's my schedule, Parker?
PARKER
You have clay pigeon shooting with Lord
Marlborough, a benefit gala for the
Institute of the
Blind, and incidentally there's a typhoon bearing down on Singapore.
LADY PENELOPE
I suppose that's urgent.
PARKER
Yes, milady. There was also a bridge
collapsed in Buenos Aires and a volcanic
eruption in
Jakarta.
LADY PENELOPE
The Thunderbirds haven't responded?
PARKER
No, milady. And the media is awash in
speculation vis-à-vis their whereabouts.
Parker turns on
the news.
CHUCK
Over to Lisa Lowe.
LISA LOWE
Chuck, disaster after disaster around
the world today and still no sight of
the Thunderbirds.
Typhoon Jago hit land in Singapore just one hour ago and thousands
have been left homeless by a
volcano in Jakarta. Only the Thunderbirds have the incredible
machines
LADY PENELOPE
I think it's time to send the emergency
signal, Parker.
PARKER
I fear you're not wrong, milady.
LISA LOWE
Lisa Lowe. Back to you, Chuck.
Parker hits the top of the tea pot and a light pops out and begins
to blink and beep. Back on Tracy
Island a similar light begins to flash and bleep but Brains is
unable to get up to get to it because he is
tied up.
Scene switch to the kids walking through the jungle.
ALAN
I'm telling you, Fermat, it was like
The Hood was inside my head back there.
FERMAT
What do you mean, Alan?
ALAN
Maybe he can read minds or control minds
or something.
FERMAT
Don't be silly, Alan. Everything can
be explained by science.
ALAN
I'm just trying to figure out his weakness.
Everybody has an Achilles heel, right?
FERMAT
My Achilles heel is actually my Achilles
heel. It's got a blister the size of
a basketball. Tintin!
Can we s-s-
TINTIN
Stop?
FERMAT
Yes!
TINTIN
No!
FERMAT
(sighs) Okay.
ALAN
(Helping Fermat up the hill) No more
cheeseburgers for you, Fermat.
Scene change back to Lady Penelope's house.
LADY PENELOPE
Any word?
PARKER
Nothing, milady.
LADY PENELOPE
Right. You will have to tell Lord Marlborough
that I've broken my shooting arm. We
shall send the Institute for the Blind a dozen guide dogs. And
bring the car around.
PARKER
Yes, milady.
LADY PENELOPE
The Thunderbirds appear to be in a spot
of trouble. And I don't like that. Let's
go,
Parker.
They get in the car and it takes off flying toward Tracy Island.
Scene switches to Mullion and the Hood
in the Thunderbirds hanger.
MULLION
Ready for launch. We'll use this to
get into the vaults.
THE HOOD
Subtle, as usual, Mullion.
MULLION
I didn't realize we'd be getting points
for style. We're robbing banks, remember.
The Hood uses his power on Mullion and Mullion gasps.
THE HOOD
Don't worry. You'll get your money.
MULLION
(Looks over toward Thunderbird 2 and
speaks into headset) Transom, initiate
pre-flight
diagnostics.
An alarm suddenly goes off in Thunderbird 2.
MULLION
What's going on?
TRANSOM
It's the guidance processor.
MULLION
What's wrong with it?
TRANSOM
There isn't one.
MULLION
Aaargh!
THE HOOD
Clever Alan. It's the children. They
have it.
MULLION
No way. They're dead. No one could live
through something like that.
THE HOOD
I did. Get them, Mullion. Take whatever
you need. And make sure you get the
guidance
processor before you lose your temper.
Scene switches to the children in the jungle.
FERMAT
Alan, don't you think Tintin is blossoming?
ALAN
Blossoming?! What's that supposed to
mean?
FERMAT
Come on, Alan. You've a c-crush on her.
ALAN
You've got to be kidding. I mean, she's.
She's not that bad, I guess.
TINTIN
(Reaches the top of the mountain) Okay,
guys, take five.
FERMAT
(Still finishing climbing up the mountain)Five
isn't going to do it!
TINTIN
Guys?
Alan and Fermat reach the top of the mountain, they are both
puffing and panting. Tintin smiles at
them before she sees a scorpion on Alan's shoulder.
TINTIN
Don't move.
FERMAT
(Sees scorpion when he stands up next
to Alan) Whoa
ALAN
What is it?
TINTIN
Hexdrotilous scorpion.
ALAN
Is that dangerous?
FERMAT
.025 milligrams of its venom is fatal.
ALAN
So, dangerous is in fact an understatement.
Tintin uses powers just like her uncle, The Hood, to lift the
scorpion off of Alan's shoulder and lets it
fall to the ground.
FERMAT
Watch out!
ALAN
Tintin, what was that?
TINTIN
Let's get going.
ALAN
Hey! She has the same powers as her
uncle, The Hood.
FERMAT
You think?
ALAN
Must run in the family. Did you do that?
TINTIN
Just drop it, okay?
ALAN
Still think everything can be explained
by science?
FERMAT
Not girls!
Scene cuts to Thunderbird 5 where there is an alarm and then
an explosion near Scott and Gordon.
JEFF
Scott? Gordon? You all right?
GORDON
We're okay.
SCOTT
The heat exchanger has blown.
JEFF
You don't say.
Scene switches back to Mullion and two other guards searching
the jungle for Alan, Tintin, and
Fermat.
MULLION
Come on! Those brats are in here somewhere.
Scene change to the kids at the satellite transmitter.
ALAN
How we doing Fermat?
FERMAT
Don't rush me Alan. This is very d-delicate
equipment. (The circuit board sparks.)
Which is
now b-b-broken.
ALAN
Can you fix it?
FERMAT
Yea- Maybe, but I'll need something
to solder with.
ALAN
We're in the middle of nowhere Fermat,
where are you going to find something
like that. (Tintin
and Fermat see Alan's retainer and share a look) What?
Alan yells as Tintin and Fermat pull out the metal part of Alan's
retainer.
ALAN
Ow!
FERMAT
Perfect.
TINTIN
Gee Alan, I never figured you for a
crybaby.
ALAN
I'm gonna kill you.
FERMAT
What'd he say?
TINTIN
I think it was some sort of apology.
FERMAT
I got it, yes! Y-y-you the man, Fermat!
Okay, first step is to establish contact
with Thunderbird
5.
Scene switch to Thunderbird 5
ALAN
Dad?
JOHN
It's Alan!
JEFF
Alan, where are you? Are you safe?
ALAN
I'm at the satellite relay station with
Fermat and Tintin. Fermat's gonna hack
into the main
computer system and give control of Thunderbird 5 back to you.
JEFF
We're standing by.
FERMAT
Okay, we're almost there.
Scene switches to Command and Control room with Transom and Brains.
TRANSOM
Goodness me, Professor. You're so good-looking
without your glasses on. I think you
may
find that's another thing we have in common. Pretty? (She leans
in to kiss him, but an alarm sounds at
the control panel)
TRANSOM
Oh now that's not fair. Just when things
were starting to sizzle.
TRANSOM
(To the Hood as he walks in) A burst
of transmission from the island's satellite
station.
Should I jam it?
THE HOOD
And give Mullion the coordinates.
Scene switches to Mullion and the two guards in a car. Transom
is communicating with him through
his headset.
TRANSOM
Take the main track southeast, then
head up Satellite Hill.
Scene switches back to the kids at the satellite station.
FERMAT
They're onto us! We're being jammed!
ALAN
Can you finish?
FERMAT
I'll try.
JEFF
(Through the video phone) Alan, what's
happening?
ALAN
Hang in there Dad, one more minute,
okay?
FERMAT
It's not going to work Alan. The signal's
too weak for data transmission.
ALAN
Dad, can you hear me? They're jamming
the signal. We're going to lose you.
Don't worry, I'll
take care of everything, okay?
JEFF
That's a negative! It's too dangerous.
Follow emergency procedure. Wait for
Lady Penelope at the
rendezvous point. Alan can you read me? (the screen begins to
break up)
ALAN
Dad!
JEFF
Alan we're losing you! Alan!
ALAN
Dad!
Alan throws the video phone
FERMAT
No!
ALAN
Useless!
FERMAT
It is now.
TINTIN
I'm sorry, Alan. This is hard on all
of us.
ALAN
No, it's okay. I'm fine.
FERMAT
You don't have to be such a tough guy
Alan. I'm worried about my dad too.
TINTIN
I'd do anything to be with my parents
right now.
ALAN
But The Hood knows we're alive now.
We have to go.
FERMAT
Even worse, they know exactly
Tires screech and Mullion and the guards appear.
FERMAT
Where we are!
Mullion and the other guards watch the kids running down the
hillside for a second.
MULLION
Come on!
The kids fall down a ditch screaming and into a river.
FERMAT
Great, more water.
ALAN
Tintin, can you slow 'em down?
TINTIN
I'd be delighted.
ALAN
Then do it. And meet us at the junk
yard. Come on, Fermat.
Scene changes to Alan and Fermat discovering a hoversled in the
junkyard.
ALAN
This'll get us out of here.
Scene change to Mullion hunting Tintin down in the forest.
MULLION
There! Come on!
Tintin looks up and sees a bees hive.
MULLION
Straight ahead.
Tintin uses a limb to hit the bee hive at Mullion and the other
two guards. Mullion falls off the car
and into a puddle while being stung by bees. The scene cuts back
to Alan and Fermat in the junkyard
attaching something to the back of the hoversled so that all
three of them can fit on it.
FERMAT
It's gonna make this thing hard to control
you know.
ALAN
No problem.
FERMAT
You really must be careful not to exceed
four bars of boost or else
ALAN
I said no problem.
TINTIN
Guys, let's go we've got to get out
of here. What is this?
FERMAT
It's a hoversled.
ALAN
It's our ticket out, unless you've got
a better idea.
TINTIN
Yeah, let's wait for Lady Penelope,
like your dad said.
FERMAT
(Hands Tintin the seat to the hoversled)
Here.
ALAN
Great plan. Let's sit and wait to get
caught. I say we do something. Now!
Right, Fermat?
FERMAT
Actually, I agree with Tintin. I don't
think this is s-s-safe.
ALAN
You don't think anything is s s-safe.
FERMAT
Just because I s-s-stutter doesn't mean
that I'm wrong. If we're a team, we
should make
decisions as a team.
ALAN
Do you guys want to sit here and take
a vote? Or do you want to get out of
here? Cuz I'm going.
TINTIN
You can be a real jerk sometimes.
Scene changes to Mullion looking up and seeing the kids escaping
on the hoversled.
MULLION
(To the guards driving the car) Go!
Go!
TINTIN
(After looking behind her and seeing
Mullion and the other guards in the
car getting closer to
them) Oh, no!
MULLION
Come on! Faster!
FERMAT
Alan! You're going too fast!
ALAN
I need more speed to get above the trees.
Hang on!
Tintin and Fermat fall off the hoversled screaming and at Mullion's
feet.
ALAN
What'd I tell you guys? (looks down
and sees Fermat and Tintin being captured.)
Oh, no.
Scene switches to Mullion walking Tintin and Fermat to a door
in the Tracy house.
TINTIN
What are you doing?
FERMAT
Oh, no! Not the fridge!
Fridge door opens to reveal Kyrano, Onaha, and Brains.
ONAHA
Tintin!
BRAINS
Hey son.
KYRANO
Sweetheart, are you okay?
TINTIN
I'm fine, Dad.
MULLION
(Grabs Fermat away from Brains and has
him sit down on a container) Cool off,
kid! (he
laughs evilly as he walks out of the fridge and closes the door
on the way out)
Scene switch to Park and Lady Penelope approaching Tracy Island.
PARKER
Tracy Island approaching, milady. Switching
to aqua mode.
LADY PENELOPE
Isn't life fun, sometimes?
PARKER
Rib-tickling, milady.
Scene switches to Transom and The Hood in Command and Control
getting an alarm that an aircraft is
approaching Tracy Island.
THE HOOD
What is it?
TRANSOM
We have an unidentified craft approaching
the island at high speed.
Scene switches to Alan climbing over a hill and seeing Lady Penelope's
car approaching.
ALAN
Lady P!
Scene switches to Thunderbird 5
JEFF
Phew! Somebody roll down a window. It's
getting a little hot in here.
VIRGIL
Re-entry into Earth's atmosphere in
37 minutes.
SCOTT
Oxygen's out in 30 so we won't feel
it.
JEFF
Stop it!
GORDON
Come on, Dad. The situation's hopeless.
JEFF
No, it's not. There's still time. We've
got people on the ground working for
us.
GORDON
Alan? He's just a kid!
JEFF
He's a Tracy.
Scene switches quickly to Alan running through the forest and
then to Lady Penelope and Parker
walking up to the Tracy house
LADY PENELOPE
This doesn't look good, Parker.
PARKER
No, milady.
LADY PENELOPE
That bougainvillea is absolutely parched,
and someone should do something about
that hideous hammock.
THE HOOD
(After seeing Lady Penelope and Parker)
Whom do we have here? Mullion.
MULLION
I must warn you that I know judo, krai
magna, and tae kwon do.
LADY PENELOPE
And I know Parker.
PARKER
Milady.
MULLION
(After Parker punches him in the face)
You've broken my nose.
PARKER
Yes, that was very much the intention
of the maneuver.
TRANSOM
(After she tries to attack Lady Penelope
and Lady Penelope pushes her over) Whoa!
LADY PENELOPE
One tries so hard in life to sort things
out on an intellectual-slash-conversational
level.
sometimes it's just not possible.
Lady Penelope continues to fight Transom and Parker continues
to fight Mullion, the Hood is watching
them.
PARKER
(after Mullion threw him against a metal
cabinet) Shall I bring the car around,
milady?
LADY PENELOPE
Parker, have a bit of a lie-down.
PARKER
(Sees Mullion behind Lady Penelope)
Excuse me, milady. (punches him and
after that has no
effect he picks up a frying pan and hits Mullion)
Transom goes back to fighting Lady Penelope and Mullion is fighting
Parker.
THE HOOD
Ah, Lady Penelope! Of course he has
his palace. Why not his princess?
LADY PENELOPE
Flattery will get you nowhere. (after
she blocks the metal bar that Transom
was trying
to hit her with) Ow! Have you any idea what a manicure costs
these days?
PARKER
(Is pushing Mullion forward) Coming
through, milady.
The camera quickly pans a little bit outside to show Alan hidden
behind some shrubs watching the
fight.
PARKER
(After the Hood uses his powers to throw
a sofa at them) Duck, milady!
ALAN
He's weak. Using his power makes him
weak. (The Hood, having heard something
looks over
toward where Alan)
THE HOOD
You're formidable opponent Lady Penelope.
More than a match for most men.
LADY PENELOPE
That's not saying much, then, is it?
THE HOOD
(uses his powers to stop the punch that
Parker was about to throw at him) I
suggest you
let us pass.
LADY PENELOPE
Don't try your parlor games on me you
sad, little man. You've committed a
serious
crime trespassing on this island. And in about (looks at Parker's
watch) four seconds, I'm going to get
quite cross with you. (the Hood uses his powers to stop her foot
which was about to come up and kick
him.)
THE HOOD
(with his back still to Alan) How are
you, Alan? (he uses his powers on Parker
and Lady
Penelope and they cry out in pain) (Alan moves to run back into
the jungle) I hope you don't think I'm
going to chase you. (he uses his powers on Parker and Lady Penelope
and they cry out in pain again)
You can make it stop, Alan. (Parker and Lady Penelope cry out
again) You have something that belongs
to me.
PARKER
Really, sir, don't mind me. This isn't
the first time my head's been pulverized.
And it's never
done any real harm before. (The Hood once again uses his powers
on them and they cry out in pain
louder this time)
ALAN
(comes out of his hiding place) Stop!
Stop! I'll give it to you. (throws the
guidance processor
toward the pool) Fetch! (the Hood uses his powers to bring it
over to him before it can hit the water)
THE HOOD
You made a match of it, Alan, I'll give
you that. (to Mullion and Transom) Put
them with the
others. (Transom grabs Parker)
MULLION
(To Lady Penelope and Alan) You're coming
with me. (Grabs Alan's arms and throws
Lady
Penelope over his shoulder)
LADY PENELOPE
Put me down! This outfit is couture.
Scene switches to Thunderbird 5.
JEFF
Don't go to sleep. John, look at me.
Keep your eyes open.
Scene switches back to the fridge where Mullion and Transom are
taking Alan, Lady Penelope, and
Parker.
MULLION
You need to cool off, milady.
TINTIN
Lady Penelope!
LADY PENELOPE
(To Mullion) Big oaf! (The fridge door
closes leaving them trapped) Right,
that's quite
enough losing for one day.
ALAN
(To Fermat) So, how does it feel to
be right all the time?
FERMAT
Not b-bad, actually.
ALAN
I'm so sorry, Fermat.
FERMAT
We make quite a pair. It's hard for
me to t-t-talk. It's hard for you to
l-l-listen.
LADY PENELOPE
Parker, I have an idea.
PARKER
Excellent, milady.
LADY PENELOPE
Brains, how long do Jeff and the boys
have?
BRAINS
I can't think. I'm too c-c-cold.
Scene switches to Transom, Mullion, and The Hood in Thunderbird
2 about to leave Tracy Island.
TRANSOM
The guidance processor has been installed.
TRANSOM
Thunderbird 2 is ready for takeoff.
THE HOOD
What is our ETA?
MULLION
Under an hour. Bank of London, here
we come!
Scene changes back to the fridge.
ALAN
We've got to be quick. The Hood's getting
away.
PARKER
In position, milady.
LADY PENELOPE

I love it when your checkered past comes
in handy Parker.
PARKER
Thank you, milady. Unfortunately, I
fear I shall need a piece of wire to
access the mechanism.
(Lady Penelope's hand goes up shirt to get her bra wire and everyone
turns around)

Will this suffice, Parker?

Most certainly, milady.

ALAN
He's got the Mole on board.

Looks like Thunderbird 3 lost a booster,
Dad. We'll never get there in time.
ALAN
Let me go after The Hood. He'll destroy
everything you've built everything the
Thunderbirds stand
for.
JEFF
Negative. I'm sorry it's too risky.
ALAN
I can do this. You know I can. What
am I saying? (Puts his arms around Tintin
and Fermat) We
can do this.
JEFF
Okay, Alan. We'll meet you there. Thunderbirds
are go!
ALAN

incident in London involving the Thunderbirds.
Lisa, are
you there?
LISA LOWE
Chuck, I'm here in Jubilee Gardens where
Thunderbird 2 has made an impromptu
landing,
causing total panic in Central London. As far as we know there
has been no emergency call from this
area so it's unclear why Thunderbird 2 would be active here at
all. I don't know if you can see this Chuck
but Thunderbird 2 seems to be unloading some kind of machine.
Scene changes to inside the Mole with Transom, Mullion, and The
Hood.
THE HOOD
Set a course for the vault.
TRANSOM
Sir, if we continue on our present course,
we'll sever the monorail's subterranean
supports.
Shall I correct our position?
THE HOOD
Stay on course.
TRANSOM
But sir, we'll cause a major disaster.
THE HOOD
No, we won't. The Thunderbirds will.

car stranded in the air. Scene then

FAB, Thunderbird 2 and good luck.
ALAN
Brains, the monorail is down. Repeat,
the monorail is down. I'm going underwater
in

ALAN
Don't panic, guys.
ALAN
Fermat, I'll hold the monorail in place.
Can you get a line on that stanchion
and lift it up?
FERMAT
I can't get a clear fix on the target.
I might hit the passengers.
TINTIN
I'll go and fix it myself.
FERMAT
What you mean swim?!
TINTIN
Get me as close as you can.
ALAN
How are we doing on that line Fermat?
FERMAT
Just look out your window.

London.
THE HOOD
Ashes to ashes, diamonds to diamonds.
Lady Penelope. What an unpleasant surprise.
LADY PENELOPE
Don't be rude. I can't tell you what
a pleasure it would be to use my little
finger to pull
this big trigger. Now, don't move!
THE HOOD
Mullion. (uses his powers to knock the
gun from Lady Penelope's hand)
LADY PENELOPE
That's not cricket.
THE HOOD
I'm sorry. The only part of sport I
ever liked was winning.
LADY PENELOPE
How ghastly.
Scene changes to Alan and Jeff in Thunderbird 1.
ALAN
Hey, Dad. That stuff The Hood said,
about you leaving him to die. He was
lying, right?
JEFF
No. See, you can't save everyone, Alan.
It doesn't matter how hard you try or
how brave you are.
It doesn't even matter if it's someone you love, someone you'd
give your life in a second to save. You
just can't save everyone.
ALAN
What was Mom like?
JEFF
She was a lot like you. Come on, we've
got a job to do.
Scene switches to Lady Penelope being handcuffed at the Bank
of London.

look Mullion is giving her) Oh, dream on, sad act. (Mullion chuckles
and walks away.)

Alan, you guys stay here with Parker.
I'm gonna go find Lady Penelope.
ALAN
But what about The Hood? (Alan points
behind Parker) Look out, Parker! (When
Parker turns
away Alan runs after his dad.)
PARKER
Master Tracy!
FERMAT
Look out, Parker!
PARKER
Alright, that's enough of that.
MULLION
(from behind Parker) Don't move. (Parker
motions for the kids to run forward
but Transom
blocks them. Parker puts his hands up as if to punch her)

Go on, then.
PARKER
No, sorry. I can't hit a lady.
TINTIN
Allow me. (she kick Transom and runs

MULLION
(To Fermat) I've been waiting to get
my hands on you brats.
PARKER
And I've been waiting to get my hands
on you.
They brawl for a few seconds before Mullion lands a good punch
on Parker.
PARKER
Ow, now that was a punch.
FERMAT
Parker, can we wrap this up?

What did you have in mind, Master Hackenbacker?
FERMAT
Strategically speaking, the best odds
of success lie with the Parker Haymaker.
PARKER
I concur. (they knock Mullion out)
Scene changes to Jeff running into the room that Lady Penelope
is being held captive in
JEFF
Penny!
PENNY
Jeff, no!
THE HOOD
Did you save them all this time, Jeff?
Or did you leave someone behind?

I didn't make you what you are.
THE HOOD
It's not me you have to convince. (motions
his head toward the entrance of the
room
where Alan is standing)
JEFF
Leave my son out of this- (the Hood
uses his powers to throw Jeff into the
cage that Lady
Penelope is handcuffed in)
LADY PENELOPE
Jeff!
ALAN
Dad! (Alan runs toward the closing cage
door and reaches it right as it slams
shut) Dad! Dad!
THE HOOD
I'm disappointed in you, Alan. I thought
we were kindred spirits.
ALAN
Well, we're not. I'm Jeff Tracy's son.
THE HOOD
You certainly are. (Alan runs at him)
JEFF
No!
LADY PENELOPE
Alan no! (The Hood uses his powers to
throw Alan off to the side where he
slams
into a wall)

Alan!

(Closing the cage door) Bye-bye.

You want so desperately to walk in Daddy's
footsteps. (uses his powers to lift

floor and makes him start choking himself with his own hands)
JEFF
Let him go.
THE HOOD
Did you really think you could challenge
me?
JEFF
Let him go, please.
LADY PENELOPE
Let him go.
JEFF
Please! Let him go! (the Hood tightens
his hold of Alan and then releases him)
LADY PENELOPE
Alan! Are you all right?
JEFF
Alan, get out. Run!
ALAN
He's getting weaker. He can't last much
longer.
JEFF
Neither can you! (Alan begins to climb
up the Mole to reach the Hood) Alan,
no! Look out! (The
Hood starts the Mole with his powers and Alan has to jump and
grab the railing of the catwalk) Alan!
THE HOOD
I'm glad you could be here to see this,
Jeff. (steps on one of Alan's hands
until he cries in
pain and lets go)
THE HOOD
Goodbye, Alan! (Steps on the other hand
and Alan yells in pain) (Tintin runs
into the room)
TINTIN
No!
THE HOOD
Ah, (uses his powers on her) (She uses
her powers on him as well) Oh!
(The catwalk flips over making Alan safely on top and the Hood
dangling above the still active Mole.
THE HOOD
Leave me, Alan. Leave me to die. (releases
one hand from the railing) Like your
father did.
ALAN
I don't want to save your life. (the
Hood lets his other hand go, but Alan
grabs it) But it's what we
do.

week and you're gonna be swimming like
a F-f-f-D-d-d-
Sha-sha- sha-Aquatic creature.
ALAN
Good job, Ferm.
TINTIN
(To Alan as she spins around) So, what
do you think?
ALAN
He's getting there. (Looks at Tintin)
Whoa, Tintin! You're just really, um,
blossoming.
TINTIN
Ew! Did you say "blossoming"? (smiles
at him)
JEFF
(rings a triangle) Gather around everybody.
I have an announcement to make. Tonight
is a special
night. We're all together because of three very special people.
Fermat, Tintin, Alan. The world needs
Thunderbirds and the Thunderbirds need you. (gives each of them
International Rescue pins)
FERMAT
Mr. Tracy!
TINTIN
Thank you, sir. (Camera pans quickly
over to Parker who is tearing up)
JEFF
Congratulations, Alan. No short cuts.
You earned it. You all did.
PARKER
(To Onaha and Kyrano) I'm not usually
an emotional man, but sometimes even
the toughest
nut must crack.
VIRGIL
(As all four of Alan's brothers walk
over to ruffle his hair and congratulate
him) Hey, way to go,
sprout!
JOHN
That's my boy, Alan! That's my brother.
(Fermat and Alan are thrown into the
pool by Scott,
John, Virgil, and Gordon who jump in after them)

Yes, Madam President. I see. Of course,
straightaway. Boys.
Sorry, Penny. Duty calls.
