Thunderbird 6 Page #5

We've no idea what's going on.

It's OH, Dad.

I've taken care of that.

Good boy.

Attention! Attention!

All personnel

in section "D"...

to vacate site immediately.

Proceed with all

movable equipment...

to rendezvous "G."

This is an emergency.

Repeat:
This is

an emergency.

Virgil, pull off!

Pull off!

Your thrusters are

throwing it off balance.

F.A.B.

Base and Thunderbird 2...

we need to decide a course

of action but fast.

As far as I can see...

any attempt

to get near that ship...

is going to bring

a disaster.

The turbulence from

our motors alone...

will be enough

to tip it off balance.

Have you any ideas, Dad?

All personnel and vehicles

to proceed

to rendezvous "G" immediately.

This is an emergency.

Repeat:
This is

an emergency.

We need a solution,

Gordon, and quick.

As far as I can tell...

the only way we're going

to get them off that tower...

in one piece is to get

a vehicle on that top deck.

Nothing we've got

would be any good, Dad.

Our machines are too heavy.

I know. I know.

We need something light,

low air speed...

high maneuverability,

short landing distance.

Say, I've got

the answer, Dad!

It's crazy,

but it could work.

Hey, what's going on?

Thunderbird 2 is leaving.

Don't tell me

they've given up.

That's right, Mr. Tracy.

We've got it aboard

Thunderbird 2...

and they just left.

We did all the necessary

checks and fueled it.

I certainly hope it works.

It's just got to work.

It's just got to.

The top of the tower

is crumbling.

I'm going to attach a line...

to the front of the ship to

see if I can hold it steady.

F.A.B.

What the heck are they doing?

Why don't they come in and

get us off this thing?

You saw what happened

when they came in close.

Well, what are they

going to do?

If you let me call them,

I can find out.

Oh, no, you don't!

I'm not falling into

that little trap.

OH, Dad. Line secured.

I think

it's going to help.

Thunderbird 1,

from Thunderbird 2.

One mile from you.

I'm landed on

a grassy stretch down below.

Well done, Virg.

That was a quick trip.

Yeah, well, you see...

I've got a Tiger

in my tank.

OH, Brains, over to you.

Scott and Virgil...

I'm going to circle

the ship...

and then attempt a landing.

OH, Brains.

If you make it,

the order of evacuation...

will be first, Tin Tin,

second, Penelope...

then the crew, and finally,

Parker and Alan.

F.A.B.

Right, Scott,

I'm in position.

Brains is on his way up.

I'm going to fix a line

to this end.

OH, Virg.

Still no radio contact

with Skyship 1.

I just don't understand it.

Something must be wrong.

We'll soon find out.

Attaching line.

Don't tell me they're going to

try a rescue with that thing.

They must've got it

from a museum.

You're dead right,

Mr. Foster.

But I'll tell you something.

It's a brilliant idea.

I think it's

the only chance we've got.

Lane, Get over on the

other side of the deck.

Get ready to welcome

our guest.

Right.

Brains!

Scott, that was a close one.

Are you OH, Brains?

OH. Climbing

for second attempt.

Brains, you're not

going to make it.

As soon as you touch down,

I'll open up with my jets.

The slipstream

should slow you down.

Right. Let's try it.

F.A.B.

Penelope and Alan,

in a few moments...

I'm going to open up

my jet engines.

Hold tight to that rail.

Alan, raise your hand

if you've understood me.

OH, folks, hold tight!

Well done, Brains.

OH. Tin Tin, you're first.

Jump aboard.

Oh, no, you don't.

Get out of that cockpit

and move!

Scott, one of the stewards

has got Brains at gunpoint.

Now we know why there's been

no radio communication.

What're they going

to do, Virg?

Looks as if Penelope

is boarding the aircraft.

And the Captain's getting

into the rear cockpit.

OH. Turn this crate around.

What's happened to Brains?

Everyone's moving

towards the Tiger.

There's no doubt about it.

The crew is in control

of the situation.

Things look bad, Dad.

Guys, hold it a minute.

Come on! Hurry it up!

Get back fast! This thing's

going to collapse any moment!

What makes you think

I'm coming back?

Double-crosser!

We've got to stop him!

Quick! Jump aboard!

Come on!

We're going to crash!

We're just overloaded.

That's all.

Watch out for trees!

Penelope, throttle back.

Thunderbird to base.

Father, we're not going to be

able to hold her much longer.

How's the evacuation...

of the rocket site

progressing?

Nearly complete...

but they want

about another 5 minutes.

Do everything

you can, Scott...

to prevent

that ship falling.

Penelope, throttle back.

We're down!

Where's the throttle?

Down on the left hand side.

Throttle back.

Penny, throttle back.

Penny, that's the wrong way.

Alan, it's jammed.

I can't move it.

Alan, I can't free it.

What shall I do?

Get her nose up! Quickly!

Don't panic.

Alan, there's

another bridge ahead.

Pull... up!

Pull the stick back.

Pull it back! Penelope...

Hold the rudder steady,

Penelope.

Alan, obstruction ahead.

Alan!

Alan!

This is it!

All personnel and vehicles...

should by now be clear

of sectors "A" to "Q."

Danger imminent.

I repeat:
Danger imminent.

Thunderbird 1?

Loud and clear.

Scott, I just received

the OH from the missile base.

Evacuation

has been completed.

You can let her go.

Right.

Did you hear that, Virgil?

I heard.

OH. Release cables

on 5 second countdown.

F.A.B.

5... 4... 3... 2... 1...

Zero!

I want to get into

the rear cockpit, Penelope.

But first, we've got

to get rid of Foster.

Hold tight, Tin Tin.

Hold tight, Tin Tin.

OH, Alan.

Hold tight, Brains.

OH, Penny, push the stick

over to the left.

OH. Heep us steady, Penny.

I'm getting into

the rear cockpit now.

Alan, I've only just realized

Parker isn't with us.

We must've left him

aboard the airship.

It's too late now, Penny.

Anyway, a few

moments from now...

we may be sharing

the same fate.

That's our engine gone, Penny.

Hold tight.

Hold tight, Tin Tin.

I'm putting her down.

OH, Alan.

Hold tight, Brains.

Emergency landing.

Good luck, Alan.

Hey, Tin Tin!

I still say, Alan, that was

a fantastic landing.

Well, if it hadn't been

for Parker...

we could've said

we'd got away with it.

Are you sure there was

no chance of him surviving...

when Skyship 1 crashed?

Not a chance, Alan.

I suppose

it must be shock...

but a few moments ago,

I'm sure I heard...

a distant voice

calling, "Milady. "

That's funny. I thought

I heard it, too.

Milady!

Milady!

And now, it gives me

great pleasure...

to introduce to you all...

my new vehicle...

Thunderbird 6.

Thunderbird 6?

I don't get it.

Oh. I know what you're

going to say, Mr. Tracy.

That you haven't

approved the plans...

how could it have been

built anyway...

et cetera, et cetera,

et cetera.

But, nevertheless,

I present to you...

Thunderbird 6.

Built, tested, and approved.

This is

Thunderbird control.

Launch Thunderbird 6.

Brains! Ha ha.

Well, I'll be a...

Look at that.
