All language subtitles for 01 Thunderbirds - Trapped in the sky

Five... Four...

Three...

Two... One...

Thunderbirds are go!

Oh!

International rescue. If
only I knew their secrets,

I would be the wealthiest
man in the world.

And you, Kerano, my own
brother, are in their midst.

But because of your misguided
loyalties, you refuse to help me.

But I have a power over
you that will make you speak.

Soon you will be under my influence.

Even though you are far
away, you cannot escape me.

Kerano!

Kerano!

Kerano! I've just had news that Tintin
will be leaving London on Wednesday.

That means she'll be home on Friday.

That is good news indeed, Mr. Tracy.

How can I ever repay you for
your kindness to my daughter?

Well, she's got a good start, Kerano.

An education in the finest American
university and a European tour to her credit.

Mr. Tracy, you are the finest man I
have ever had the privilege to work for.

And you, Kerano, are the loyalist.

Oh!

Kerano, what's wrong?

Oh!

Kerano!

Kerano!
As from this moment, you are in my power.

Now!

Now!

When does International
Rescue start operating?

Speak, Kerano!

What's wrong, Kerano?

What is wrong?

Why don't you speak?

No! No!

When will International
Rescue start operating?

They are ready!

International Rescue is
ready to start operating!

...to Tokyo.

When all passengers proceed to depart...

Miss Tintin Kerano?

Yes?

This is your flight.

You're lucky.

It's the maiden flight of the
new atomic powered fire flash.

Isn't that the new aircraft that flies six
times the speed of sound? That's right.

But don't worry.

It's perfectly safe.

Perfect.

Enough explosives to
smash the atomic reactor.

If this doesn't bring International
Rescue on the scene, nothing will.

And if you need them,
you just need me to tell you.

And, again, we'll be here
to help you and you can go.

...so long.

We'll wait for you.

.

To the center!

I'm counting on you.

Kanyama! Let's go.

You'll be fine.

Yes, sir.

We'll see you tomorrow.

See you.

Good job, Kerano.

through the sound barrier mac 1.

3 height 200 000 feet level off

ladies and gentlemen we have
now completed our takeoff procedure

and are flying at a height of 250 000 feet

you may now unfasten your
safety belts and smoke if you wish

is that the control
tower yes i just thought

you would like to know
that a bomb has been

placed in the landing
gear of the fire flash that

has just taken off for
tokyo when it touches down

it will explode and blow the air

...craft into a million pieces, and release
radioactive material over a large area.

Okay, on course. Right.
Switch to automatic flight plan.

Well, I, uh, I'm going up front to
have a word with the passengers.

Passengers or passenger?
I saw her, too. She's kind of cute.

London Tower to Fireflash.
Reduce speed to low safe cruising.

Return to London and reduce to 30,000 feet.

It is reported that you have
a bomb in your landing gear.

It may be a hoax, but we
can't take any chances.

Roger, London Tower. What's the action?

Stand by on this frequency.

Fireflash standing by.

Alert all emergency services.

I don't understand it. Something
must be wrong. We're losing height.

Ladies and gentlemen, may
I have your attention, please?

We have developed a minor technical
fault and are returning to London.

Please fasten your safety belts.

Say, you're right. Oh, but I
guess it's nothing to worry about?

Well, I hope not.
It's a very long way down from here.

Take a reflective X-ray shot of your wings.

Lower your landing gear
and overfly airfield at zero feet.

Roger, London Tower.
This sure is some maiden flight.

You miss those days, eh, Mr. Tracy?

You must be proud to have been one of
the world's first men to land on the moon.

Well, it's all a long time ago, Quirano.
A long time ago.

Cable for me? Yes, sir.

From London.

Now, listen, Quirano. I've
arranged for a specialist

to be flown out here
and give you a check-up.

Oh, I'm fine, Mr. Tracy.
Just a dizzy spell.

Well, you watch it. You gotta keep
well for your daughter's homecoming.

Oh, this is from Tintin.
She's on her way from London.

Say, she's flying in the new Fire Flash.

Gee, that's a great aircraft.

London Tower from Fire Flash.

Coming in now. Landing gear
down and locked. Stand by.

Roger. Lift your
starboard wings so we can

get a good shot. Ready
with automatic X-ray? Yes, sir.

It looks hopeful. Put it on the screen.

Yes, sir.

What's keeping them?

They'll call as soon as they know.
Let's not get jumpy.

There it is. This is no hoax.

Right. Divert all aircraft from London.
Contact Central Control.

I want everyone, excluding
essential personnel and all civilians

in a five-mile radius of the
airport evacuated immediately.

Use code RH. Radiation hazard.

Yes, sir.

Fire Flash, this is London Tower.
Confirming there is a bomb.

It's placed in the hydraulic
system of your landing gear.

Roger, London Tower.
Permission for emergency landing.

That's impossible, Fire Flash.

The bomb is so placed that the impact
of landing would cause it to detonate.

Remain in vicinity of
London Airport at 30,000 feet.

Well, what's gonna happen?
We can't just stay up here forever.

What is your endurance?

Well, with our atomic motors,
we can stay up here for six months.

But the anti-radiation
shield on the reactor

will need servicing in
two hours, ten minutes.

Or our passengers will be
subjected to radiation exposure.

What are we gonna
do? I don't know.

We can't reach the
bomb, we can't land, and

if we stay up here, we
get radiation exposure.

Whichever way you look at
it, we don't stand a chance.

They haven't got a chance.

We've just got to sit here
and wait for them to die.

London Tower from Fire Flash.

Now circling at 30,000 feet.

Radiation hazard.

Radiation safety factor now, two hours.

As far as I can see, London,
nothing can save us short of a miracle.

That's just what you might get.

Top secret.

Subject, international rescue.

Our equipment is way ahead of its time.

In the wrong hands, it could
be utilized to destroy life.

Go ahead, John.

We have our first emergency call, Father.

The new Fire Flash MAX 6 atomic
airliner is in distress at London Airport.

The Fire Flash?

Why, that's Tintin's aircraft.

Yeah, that's right, London.

I reckon that's our only chance.

We're gonna try some violent
maneuvers to try and shake the bomb loose.

Roger, Fire Flash. Good luck.

Okay, boys, that's the brief.

It's our first assignment, so make it good.

As you know, your uniforms are in
your craft and must only be worn on call.

Right, Father.

Okay, Father.

Sure thing, Dad.

Yeah, Father.

Okay, Scott, away you go.

And keep in touch.

Yes, sir.

Well, brains, your phenomenal
mind made all this possible.

Now you're gonna see it in operation.

Good luck, Scott.

Take it easy, Scott.

International rescue from Thunderbird One.

Changing to horizontal flight.

International rescue, Space Station.

This is Thunderbird One.

Give me the lowdown, John.

Thunderbird One from Space Station.

They're trying to
dislodge the bomb by

aerobatics, but they're
not having much success.

Go ahead, Scott.

I'll be arriving at London
Airport in 52 minutes.

But it looks like I'll need heavy rescue.

Okay, Scott.

I'll organize that right away.

Virgil, away you go.

Right, Father.

Fantastic!

That's just about the most
fantastic scheme I've heard to date.

Well, sir, can you
think of anything better?

May I remind you how to
speak to your superiors?

You come up here and
put a harebrained scheme

that stands a million-to-one chance of
success and expect me to jump for joy.

Well, with due respect,
sir, a million-to-one

chance is better
than no chance at all.

London Tower from Fire Flash.

What now? Fire Flash
from London Tower.

Maintain present height and position.

I may have some news for you in a moment.

Continue standing by.

Standing by?

All right, Meddings.
Let's have it again, but slowly.

This is the idea.

We get a TX-204 target-carrying
aircraft and divert it to London.

Then we... Harris, are there
any TX-204s in the area? Yes, sir.

There's target
practice going on at this

moment just off the coast
a hundred miles south of us.

Approach and intercept position.

Okay, release target.

You know, I think this
excitement is going to kill me.

I joined the Air Force
for adventure and

all I do is tow targets
around all day long.

Interceptor One from Target One.
Target aircraft released.

Roger, Target One.

Coming in for attack, Target One.
Permission to open fire.

Okay. Go ahead and good shooting.

Interceptor One, this is Target One.
Direct hit.

Thanks, Target One. Returning to base.

Well, guess that's it. Let's go home.

Target One, this
is London Tower.

Set course for London
Airport. This is an emergency.

Yes, sir. London Tower.

Well, Meddings, you understand
the risks involved? Perfectly, sir.

All right.

Get into your flying gear. The harness
should have been adapted by now.

Then get a truck to run
you out to the end of 29.

Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

At Meddings? Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Fireflash, this is London Tower.
We are going to attempt to put

a man into the wing of your
aircraft in order to remove the bomb.

But that's suicide.
He wouldn't stand a chance.

There is a chance.

There is a chance, Fireflash.
A very slender one, but one we must take.

International rescue
from Thunderbird One.

ETA, London Airport. Now 41
minutes. Any more news? Yes, Scott.

John's reported in from the space station
that a rescue attempt is going to be made.

It seems from transmissions
intercepted that they

are going to try and put
a man aboard Fireflash.

How? We don't yet know.

But continue on your present course.
It doesn't look too hopeful.

Well, let's hope they succeed.
I'll keep in touch.

Target One from London Tower.

Roger.

Meddings is aboard, sir.

Right.

Target One from London Tower. You're clear to
go. Wait for a green light and good luck. I

will make no further transmissions so as to
leave the frequency clear for you and Fireflash.

This is London Tower, listening out.

Look, there's no time for
introductions, but I'd like you to

know that we're right with you.
Thanks. Green light, full power.

You realize the passengers
are going to see what's going on?

Yeah, yeah, I know.
I've been dreading this moment.

Ladies and gentlemen,
this is the captain speaking.

I have a very important announcement
to make. We're still unable

to land, but every effort is
being made to ensure your safety.

In the meantime, please, remain calm.

Say, look.
There's another aircraft dead ahead of us.

Okay, Fireflash. Hold it dead steady.
Maintain low-safe cruising.

Any adjustments to be made
will be done from our end.

Lieutenant Meddings,
who is making this attempt,

will be in contact with
us both on this frequency.

Roger. Now at low-safe cruising on steady.

Here we go. Okay, Bob. Stand by.

Okay.

Ready? Away you go.

Start winches.

Right.

Running into turbulence.

Left left one degree.

Right right two degrees.

Right. Hold present course.

Stand by to stop winches.

Hold her steady. Here he comes.

Stop winches. Stop winches.

Okay, Fireflash.

Open number four inspection hatch.

Keep her steady.

One false move now and I've had it.

Open number four hatch. Check trim.

I'm going to try and board now.

Target one.

Give me more cable a foot at a time.

Coming up now.

Again.

Again.

Again.

One more time.

Hold it.

Okay.

Count of five and then up.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

Now.

Cut cable.

Are you okay? Okay.

I'm aboard.

I can't see the bomb.

Keep her steady.

I'm trying to get a little higher.

Still can't see it.

It's probably located
near the master cylinders

on the yellow hydraulic system.

I can see it.

I'm... I'm going to
try and... All right.

Get nearer! It's no good.

It's no good. I can't reach it.

I have to dismantle the
pumps to get anywhere near it.

Hold on.
I'm going to try round the other side.

He's fallen!

His shooters failed!

At least he made it.

It sure was a good try.

London Tower, this is Fireflash.

The rescue attempt has failed.

Bob Meddings appears to be safe.

Our radiation safety factor
is now down to 30 minutes.

Over.

Roger, Fireflash. There's now
only one alternative left to us.

This area has now been evacuated.

Return to London Airport and land.

The only chance that now exists
is that the bomb may fail to explode.

Aircraft approaching from the east.

High 2,500 feet.

Speed 7.5 thousand miles per hour.

7.5 thousand miles an hour?
Have you gone crazy?

London Tower from Thunderbird 1.

Approaching London Airport.

High 2,500 feet.

Airspeed 7.5 thousand miles per hour.

We'll be touching down in two minutes.

London Tower, this is International Rescue.

Fireflash is in trouble and
we are equipped to help you.

Request permission to land.

International Rescue? What is this?

That must be the aircraft I just picked up.

This I must see.

International Rescue,
you are clear to land.

Use runway 2-9.

Will not require runway.
Coming in vertically.

As I thought.

International Rescue
are arriving on the scene.

Part 2 of my plan about to commence.

London Tower from International Rescue.

Now listen carefully.

I want men and transport to take my
portable equipment to your control tower.

And I want an assurance from
you that you will place guards

in my aircraft to ensure that
no photographs are taken.

International Rescue, please give
me information about your organization.

We cannot grant facilities
without knowing more details.

Look, there are 600 people up
there with about 40 minutes to live.

Now you can't help
them, but I believe we can.

Now what's it gonna be?

All right, International Rescue.

But I just hope you know what you're doing.

To make sure that no one takes
photographs of Thunderbird 1.

Except me, of course.

Now, let's recap.

Fire Flash has another 30 minutes
before its radiation safety factor expires.

Right.

Now, the specialized gear that I require
for the rescue will be here in 20 minutes.

Leaving us just 10 minutes to
put our rescue into operation.

Thunderbird 2, this is mobile control.

Confirm estimated time
of arrival, London Airport.

Okay, Scott.

Arriving in 19 and one half minutes.

Now, as soon as you
arrive, unload high-speed

elevator car with two
radio control subsidiaries.

Then proceed to end
of runway 2-9 and report.

Thunderbird 1, FAB.

Fire Flash, this is International
Rescue, mobile control.

In approximately 18 minutes from now, I
will request you to land using runway 2-9.

You are to come in with landing gear up.

Repeat, landing gear up.

Make a completely normal
approach and keep your head.

Message understood.

What's the action?

Listen carefully.

We can't afford any mistakes.

The automatic camera detector, quick!

Someone's photographing the
instrument panel of Thunderbird 1.

It's imperative that you
get this man and stop him.

Airport police, this is the control tower.

Someone is taking photographs
inside the International Rescue aircraft.

Grab him and bring him in for questioning.

...from airport mobile police.

We have lost contact with pursued car.

Vehicle was last seen turning onto
M1 heading towards Birmingham.

Message received and understood.

I'm sorry, we did our best.

Okay, leave this to me.

How well.

You called, milady? Yes, Parker.

Get the rolls, Royce.

We are going for a little drive.

Mobile control from Fireflash.

We have only five minutes left.

Unless you can stop
rescue operation immediately.

We've had it.

Stand by, Fireflash.

This is Thunderbird 2.

I'm ready.

Thunderbird 2 from control, FAB.

Control to Fireflash.

Commence your approach and good luck.

After acknowledgement of this transmission,
do not make any further calls.

Whatever happens,
keep this frequency clear.

Roger, Control.

Starting approach now.

And however it turns out, thanks.

Aircraft approaching glide

Stand by, Virgil.

Fireflash on final approach.

Scott, I've got a fault on number three.

Okay, checking out.

Fireflash, continue your approach.

On glide path, rate of

What did he mean when
he said they had a fault?

Left, left, two degrees.

Aircraft on glide path, three
and one half miles to threshold.

Stand by, crash tenders.

Crash tenders to center of runway 2-9.

Roger.

Hey, what's the situation,
Virgil? Fault cleared.

What was it? Don't know.

It's just cleared.

Well, let's hope it holds up.

Stand by, Virgil.

beschäftозможно.

Yeah, the fireball is obvious.

All right guys, we're
on the right direction.

Resume take off.

Overshoot! Sorry, Scott.

Radio fault again in
number three control system.

Okay, Virgil. Backtrack to starting point
and bring standby elevator car into use.

Fireflash, this is mobile control.

What is your radiation safety
factor now? Mobile control.

Radiation safety
factor has expired.

If we're not down in a couple of minutes...

Passengers and crew will
have received fatal exposure.

Okay, Fireflash. Commence second approach.

Roger.

Crash crews return to standby positions.
Let those aircraft burn.

Fireflash is carrying passengers.
They're not.

Mobile control.
Turning for second approach.

Clear for second approach.
No further transmissions, please.

Okay. Here we go.

And this time, it's the last time.

Fireflash, left port, wait.
Left port, wait.

Okay, fireflash. Reverse thrust.

I'm applying brakes down here.

Okay.

We're not going to make it.
We're running out of runway.

Hold tight, Fire Flash.
Applying maximum brakes.

They made it. Jolly good show, old boy.
And what a show.

Are you okay,
Virgil? Okay, Scott.

Good timing.

Great, Virgil. Just great.

How can we ever thank you?

Well, I tell you. It's
essential for the reason I

explained to you that our
organization remains top secret.

I want you to contact your authorities and
make sure that there are no aircraft within

a hundred mile radius when we leave and
their assurance that we will not be tracked.

Whatever happens, secrecy
must be maintained at all costs.

I'll do my best. But talking
of secrecy, how about

that character who photographed
your aircraft? Don't worry.

He'll be taken care of.

We're closing in on him, milady.

Good, Parker. Wait
till we get to a clear

stretch of road. We don't
want to create a scene.

Very good, milady.

Parker.

Yes, milady.

Parker.

Thank you, madam. Home, milady.

Home, Parker.

My pictures. They are ruined.

Someone will pay for this.

Yes. International Rescue
haven't heard the last of me.

Mr.
Tracy, the doctor would like to see you.

Just one moment, Brains.
Operation Cover-Up.

Okay, Brains, show him in.

Sure thing, Mr. Tracy.

Well, Doc, what's the verdict?

Oh, easy, okay, Jeff.

Well, I can't account for that dizzy spell,

but I can assure you there's nothing wrong.

Well, that's great news.

Thanks for flying out here the way you did.

Oh, any time.

Well, how about that, Jeff?

Some story, huh? It sure is.

Oh, fantastic, the way the
whole thing's cloaked in mystery.

Oh, I sure would like to
know who these people are.

That's the one thing I'd like to do.

Is shake them by the hand.

Well, thanks again, Doc.

So long, Jeff.

So long.

Well, fellas, I guess that
handshake was for all of us.

Boys, I think we're in business.
