'Thunderbirds are go! '

Hi, there. Are you going anyplace
near Princeton Avenue?

Sure! Hop in!

Well, that's real nice of you.

Do you live down Princeton Avenue?

No, my doctor does.
I've got to get him down to see my wife.

- She's real sick.
- I'm sorry to hear that.

Yeah! What a night
for my battery to go flat.

I was lucky to find you.
Are you married, too?

Sure am! In fact, today
is our third wedding anniversary.

Is that so? Well, well!

That, er...

explains the flower display in the back.

Uh-huh. As soon as the baby-sitter
arrives we're going out for a meal.

Why didn't you phone the doctor?

OK, just here.
The doc lives just behind those trees.

Thank you! But before I let you go,
there's something I've got for you.

What's this?
Just because I gave you a lift...

- What is this?
- Listen, Prescott...

How did you know my name?

Listen to what I say.
I don't have time to repeat.

You work at the Hudson Building.

- Room 1972, right?
- Right.

In the top drawer of your cabinet,
you'll find a key to release you.

You're wasting time, Prescott!

It's made of hydro-chromatised steel.
It won't break under 20,000 degrees.

It has an explosive charge
that will go off soon.

Are we in business?

All right. What am I to do?

Simple. Go to your room
in the Hudson Building.

Find the key, take off
the bracelet and leave it there.

- What then?
- The whole place goes up. Pow!

You must be crazy!

I ain't got time to argue.
That bomb goes off in 21 minutes.

If you don't get that bracelet off,

your wife will be a widow
on her wedding anniversary.

Don't throw the bracelet
out of the office window.

You'll want to get
further away than that.

OK, you're wasting time, Prescott.

That bomb is set for eight o'clock,
and you've got 30 miles to go.

Highway Control from Car 107.

Going in pursuit of
a red convertible on highway six.

'Highway Control, check.'

You'd better get the barriers out.

- This guy's about to take off.
- 'Check, car 107.'

This guy's not gonna stop!

Calling all cars. Calling all cars.

Who is it, honey?

I don't know,
it looks like Mr Prescott's car.

Seems to be in quite a hurry.

I can't hear you over the TV.

Looks like something's up.

I guess he's got
his own key with him.

Hey! Looks like the cops
are after him, too!

- I can't hear you, honey.
- Gladys, what time is it?

Come on! Come ON!

Yes, officer. I figured
you wanted him for something.

What did he say, honey?

- It's his car.
- And look there!

It's not here! The key's not here!

- What's he up to?
- We'll see. The janitor has a key.

Yes, sir?

As soon as you've got the situation
under control, I want a full rundown.

That Hudson Building
is government property.

We can't afford any security slip-ups.

- 'Understood.'
- How's the fire situation?

'It's getting worse.'

The building's automatic
extinguishers aren't working.

What about the guy who started it?

He probably got hit by the explosion.
The elevator is out of action.

I wish I knew
what the heck this is all about.

Base from Thunderbird 5.
Calling International Rescue.

Any news about the Hudson Building?

The fire department are there now,
but they're not having much success.

What does Brains make of it?

He thinks only an incendiary device
could cause so much fire so quickly.

H-hold it, John.
H-here's another newscast coming up.

'The fire department
are trying to cope

'with the Hudson Building fire,

'which followed an explosion
which destroyed the top five floors.

'The janitor, Sam Saltzman,

'said the explosion was preceded
by the arrival at the building

'of Hudson employee Thomas Prescott.

'The police will have several
charges to make against Prescott,

'if they get him out alive.

'Efforts to rescue the man have failed,

'and the fire department are
not optimistic about his chances.

'I return you to your programme.'

That's a definite call to action!

- Alan, get Scott and Virgil here.
- Yes, Father.

- We can't delay. Brains!
- Y-yes, Mr Tracy?

'Put Virgil straight
about what parts will be required.'

R-right, Mr Tracy.

We can try our new
fire rescue equipment.

Tin Tin, monitor all broadcasts
about the Hudson fire,

and keep Scott and Virgil informed.

All right.

Thunderbirds are go!

'Mr Tracy, I-I've instructed
Virgil about the necessary equipment.'

Judging by the latest reports
from the Hudson Building,

I've advised him
to take extra dicetylene.

There's not much hope for the guy
at the foot of the elevator shaft.

It's getting flooded.

What about the safety doors,
Flanagan?

'The explosion caused them
to shut automatically.

'But the fire's damaged their release
mechanism and they're jammed shut.'

Base from Thunderbird 1.
Calling base from Thunderbird 1.

- 'Receiving you, Scott.'
- What's the latest, Tin Tin?

The fire department
can't fully control the fire

while Prescott is stuck
in the elevator shaft.

They also know that the automatic
extinguishers couldn't operate

because the water supply
had been cut off.

- I see.
- Scott, what's your ETA?

I should be reaching Spoke City
in 9.5 minutes, Father.

Well?

They've contacted Prescott on the
elevator radio. He's in a bad way.

There's also been a message for you.
International Rescue are on their way.

International Rescue?!
Give me that radio!

ETA rescue zone in 17 minutes.
How's Scott making out?

He's practically there.
He's talking to the Chief of Police.

If the fire is under control,

we can get the man out
of the elevator shaft.

I can fix that. The fire's spread
to some of the basement floors.

'How many
basement floors are there?'

- Ten.
- Any other access?

None at all.
The safety doors are jammed.

My men are trying to cut
a way through.

Clear them right away.

And we'll need part of the area
cleared for landing.

All right. You can land
in the area behind the building.

I'll have the rear entrance cleared.

And I shall want your guarantee
of secrecy for my organisation.

You've got it, buddy! You've got it.

Boy! Is that a sight for sore eyes.

'The people of Spoke City
are watching the arrival

'of the second
International Rescue craft.

'Now she has disappeared behind
the facade of the Hudson Building.

'The International Rescue team wish
to conduct the operation in secret.'

OK, but what about
the man down the shaft?

What do you suppose these
International Rescue guys are up to?

They've been in there 30 minutes!

Right, Father, we've got the dicetylene
cage fixed up.

'OK. Good luck.'

OK, fellas. Down you go.

Heat increasing.

Right.
Starting dicetylene sprinklers.

This dicetylene is great.

I hope it lasts.
Our tank might not be big enough.

- How's it going?
- 'OK, Scott.'

But our dicetylene supply won't last.

What was that?

'Prescott?
This is International Rescue.

'Answer if you can hear me.'

Yeah! Yeah, I can hear you.

We've come to get you out of there.

What kind of shape
is the elevator in?

Pretty bad.
The water's rising all the time.

Is the frame
of the elevator car still intact?

Yeah, I reckon it is. Why?

Right. Operating grabs.

All right, Scott.
I think we've got her. Coming up now.

Hey, what goes on?

- Dicetylene's finished.
- I was afraid that might happen.

Will we make it?

We've got to. We've just got to!

OK, Prescott,
you'll be all right.

Well, did you see Prescott?

Yes. He's still sticking to that
cock-eyed story about the bracelet.

I never heard an alibi like it.

This guy goes out on his anniversary

and commits enough offences
to get him 20 years inside.

Yeah!
A guy with a spotless record, too!

You know what? I believe him.

- Huh?
- Just think, one:

that explosion destroys the files
on some of the most vicious gangs,

including the Eardman gang.

the automatic extinguishers
in the building had been sabotaged.

It adds up, you know.

- What's that?
- We found it in the Hudson Building.

Why, that's it!

That's the bracelet!

Right, get me the FBI.

Yes, sir!

We're gonna get to the bottom of this,

even if it means
employing a little deception.

But Alan, you said you saved
the man in the Hudson Building?

We did. Why did they publish
this story, Father?

The authorities must be taking
this line for a very special reason.

They must have a scheme.

That Prescott was a nice guy.
I wish we could help.

Hey, why not?

No, Alan. That's best left
to the FBI and Interpol.

Maybe they want the man responsible
to think he can try it again.

More tea, old chap?

Ah, no thanks.

Southern
is the best man for the job.

He needs to be tough
to deal with the Eardman gang.

Ah, here's Southern now.

Afternoon, sir.
All set, then?

Yes, sir.

Right. You won't be needing those...

But you WILL need this.

Good luck, and be careful.

What's the idea?

The leader will give
you complete instructions by radio

when you reach
Glengarry Castle in Scotland.

Why are they keeping us in this dump?
Boy, is it cold!

Ahh, they know what they're doing.
Just relax.

You heard what our orders were.

Yes - instructions by radio.
But when? We've been here 36 hours.

'Attention.
This is the leader speaking.

'I will now outline
the final details of the plan.

'Listen very carefully.
I will only go through it once.'

OK, go ahead.

'At 0900 hours,
you will leave the castle.'

0900 hours.

'Yes. The timing is vital.

'Drive to the nuclear plutonium store
which is marked on your route maps.

'Isotopes for all Britain's
nuclear power stations

'are stored inside the building.

'The authorities maintain
that the store is impregnable.

'We are going to prove them wrong.

'Powerful robots guard every door.'

Then we won't run into any people?

'No. The entire area is deserted.

'At 0910 hours
you will take up your positions.'

That's before the perimeter gates
10.

'Yes. The alarm systems
have been rendered ineffectual.

'So you can move with ease.

'The ray machine you've been given

'is tuned to the robot frequencies

'and will render inactive
the robot at the gate.

'You will then enter the building,

'unsealing each electronic door
as you go.

'Again you will use the ray machine.

'There are three electronic doors
with a robot guarding each.

'At 0930 you must be
in the main storeroom

'where the vault is housed.'

Where the plutonium's stored?

'Yes. You will set the fuses.

'Then clear the area and drive south.

'You will rendezvous with my helijet
and prepare to leave the country.'

- That's when we get paid?
- 'Yes.

'If your assignment
has been successfully carried out.'

So we're going to meet you at last?

'Yes. You will have earned
that honour.'

And the rendezvous
remains as arranged?

Didn't you hear the first time?
And stop playing with that pen!

Listen, Dempsey, if I want to
mess around with this thing, I will.

I've gotta get this timing right.

'There is no time for bickering!

'Southern is right.
Exact timing is vital.

'Three hours after you have set
the fuses, at precisely 1230 hours,

'the nuclear store will explode! '

I don't wanna be around then!
No, sir.

The fuses must be a special type.

How do we get them?
What time do we set them?

'Hmm! I was waiting
for one of you to ask me that.

'The fuses are set at this moment,
and are attached to your wrists! '

But that's crazy. They're locked on!
We can't get them off!

'This is a precaution I have taken,

'to make certain you carry out
the mission successfully.

'You see, the key
that will release the bracelets

'is the same one
that unlocks the panel

'to the plutonium vault mechanism.'

You mean,
it's inside the nuclear store?

'Yes. In a box on the vault door.

'Now you know why you must get into
that building and carry out the plan.

'If you fail, you will
all be blown to Kingdom Come.'

Come on, Dempsey, it's time.

OK, OK, don't rush me!

It was a smart move
to lock these to our wrists.

Yes, very smart! Let's get moving!

OK, Southern, we're bang on schedule.
Fix that robot!

Right! Open the perimeter gates.

Get ready, Southern.

As soon as I work these frequencies,
robot number two will try to grab us.

Check time!

Bang on. Stand back!

OK! One more door and then the vault.

We've got 10 minutes to find the key
and get these fuses off our wrists.

The door's open.
Make with the ray, Southern.

Where's the fourth robot?

Who cares? Come on!

Get the key, Southern.
This fuse worries me!

And me. If they blow too soon,
we're dead!

Stay there!
There's been a change of plan.

What are you talking about?

- Unlock these bracelets!
- All in good time.

First you must do something.

- You're wasting time!
- Listen!

You're gonna capture the leader
and bring him here.

I never liked you.
You should've been double-checked.

A lesson in security -
don't trust anyone.

Get moving!
Bring the leader or you die!

What do you want? A bigger cut?

You wouldn't understand.
Now, do as I say!

But it's miles to the rendezvous.

We won't get back
before these charges blow!

That's your problem!

Sorry, Southern, no deal.

You're wasting time.
Remember your life's at stake.

Maybe it's your life, not ours.

Aah! Aahh...

Get the key. Things worked out OK
for us after all. Couldn't be better!

OK, Kenyon, catch!

What are you gonna do?

We're gonna leave you,
just like that.

But first, we'll take off your bracelet.

Fix it, Dempsey. Then we'll place
the charges and clear outta here.

In three hours this place
is gonna go up. And so will you.

Place those other fuses, Dempsey.
We're behind schedule.

But what if
someone's working with him?

They could get in and rescue him.

We'll jam the electronic doors shut.
No one will be able to get in.

- OK. All set.
- Right, let's go!

I may be finished, but so are you.
You won't escape!

Ouit fooling yourself.
No one can stop us, least of all you!

OK, take care of the controls.

Agent Tiger-4 to HO.

Come in, HO. I must contact 2-1.

'This is 2-1. You were to contact me
only in an emergency.'

This is an emergency.
The fuses have been set

and the nuclear store
will explode at 1230 hours.

'Right, we'll come and release you.'

There's no time. Dempsey and Kenyon
have jammed the doors.

You must evacuate the entire area.

'In less than three hours?'

Those fuses will cause the biggest
explosion the world has ever known.

The area must be evacuated!

'There must be some way to save you.'

Forget me! Thousands of people
can be saved if you work fast!

Now we've got a long, fast drive
south to meet the leader.

And the money. Let's go!

'Someone here's come up with an idea.
We might be able to save you.'

Chief! There's no time.
No one can get into this place in time.

'No one, except perhaps...
International Rescue.'

Of course! Perhaps they can stop
the leader at the rendezvous.

I don't know. They're a rescue
organisation, not a police force.

Maybe, but it's worth a try.

'Calling International Rescue.

'This is Sir William Fraser
of the British Security Service.

'Code name 2-1.

'We need your help.

What's your problem, 2-1?

'There could be a nuclear explosion
that will destroy half of England.'

Wow-ee! That's serious.
Give me the details.

Nothing like fishing to relax the mind.

And the body, if you're any example!

Alan! I've got a bite!

Play it, give it more line.

'Emergency call.
Return to base immediately.'

I'll start the engines.

- Bring in your catch, Tin Tin.
- Yes, Gordon. It's a big one this time.

It really is a big one this time.
You heard the details?

You've got just
two a-a-and one half hours.

- Boy, are we gonna be tight on time!
- Let's go!

I'll take Pod 5,
with laser-beam equipment.

W-what about 2-1 's other problem,
M-Mr Tracey?

The guys who started the trouble?
It's not our job to catch crooks.

N-no, sir, but our agent in Britain
could help.

Yeah! Lady Penelope.
This should be right up her street!

'International Rescue HO calling
International Rescue England.'

International Rescue.
Lady Penelope speaking.

'This is a hot one, Penny.

'Foreign agents are fleeing Britain,
they must be stopped.

'You've only got two hours.'

Right, what's the location, Jeff?

'IR - reference 19/54-0.
Can you handle it?'

I'll do my best, Jeff. We'll have
to move swiftly. I'll call you later.

You rang, m'lady?

Yes, Parker. Another assignment.

Get out the Rolls-Royce,
we're heading north. And hurry!

Will we be on time, m'lady?

It'll be touch and go.
We can't afford hold-ups.

Thunderbird 2 from Thunderbird 1.

'What is your ETA
at the danger zone?'

12. 10, Scott.
Flying at maximum speed now.

FAB. That's less than 20 minutes
to get into the plutonium store.

What IS the delay, Parker?

It's this truck, m'lady,
I can't get past him.

But we're behind time, Parker.
Give him a toot.

Right, m'lady.

Thunderbird 2 from Thunderbird 1,
approaching danger zone.

- FAB, Scott.
- 'Hurry, Virgil.'

I'll try to contact Southern.

Thunderbird 1 to Southern.
Can you hear me?

'Am I tuned to your frequency?'

Yes, I can hear you loud and clear.

'Great! You just sit tight.'

Thunderbird 2 is coming.
We'll soon have you out.

Get away while you can.
You'll never reach me in time.

Listen, Southern, we've come
a long way to rescue you,

and we're gonna do it!

You must get clear!

International Rescue
doesn't give up that easy!

'Thunderbird 1 from Thunderbird 2,
approaching danger zone.'

We'll have to work fast.
These doors are jammed.

Can we blast through?

The charges may upset those fuses,
not to mention the plutonium.

OK. Stand back!

14 minutes before those fuses blow
and there are two more doors.

Setting auto timer to 14 minutes.

OK!

Here we go!

Come on, baby.

That's better.
Stand by for jet blast.

It's no good, I-I can't get free.

Seven minutes.

Try the jet now. Time's running out.

I'll get those fuses.
Take care of that robot.

OK, Scott.

OK, Southern,
we'll soon have you free.

This is the last time
they try the bracelet game!

That's right.
I guess Prescott is fully vindicated.

Penelope just has to tidy things up.

The next field, Parker. Listen...
I believe I can hear the helijet.

I'm glad things turned out this way.
We get a bigger share of the loot!

Yeah, say, that's right!

Ouite so. Now all we have to do
is escape to safety,

and that should be
quite a simple matter.

He's in a bad way, Scott. If only
I could have released him quicker.

You did your best, Virgil.

Those robots aren't easy guys
to handle. I'll call an ambulance.

- Look who's here!
- Wonder how she got on.

- Success?
- Success.

This is Southern, the agent we just
rescued. He needs hospital attention.

I can see that. Scott, get him
in the car, I'll take him myself.

You've been very kind.

Are you fully recovered?

Yes, as fit as ever.

But it's the end
of my secret agent career.

Oh dear. I am sorry. But why's that?

My cover's broken.

We secret agents are only able
to operate by remaining incognito.

But then...
you wouldn't know about that.

I...wouldn't?
Oh, no, of course not... I wouldn't.

But it does sound fascinating.
Do tell me about it.

Oh, I don't want to bore you...

You wouldn't!

I've often wanted to do something
exciting...like being a secret agent.

Well, it's not all romance...
In fact, it's a tough existence.

Never being yourself...

Someone like you, so sheltered
and gentle...it just wouldn't be you.

With all due respect,
you're just not the type.

We walk with danger as a shadow.
Death is a constant companion.

No, Penelope, you just be what you are -
a very beautiful lady.
