Scene cuts to the outside of Thunderbird 1. The hatch opens. Scott looks out. He sees nothing but sand and desert.] Scott Tracy: "No sign of anything. Fine predicament. 5000 miles from base, and the radio's dead." [Feels a sudden sharp pain in his head.] "Ow! This is some crack that I got... I think I'm gonna..." [Camera shots reveal Scott's vision is blurry.] "I think, I'm gonna..." [Scott passes out. Camera zooms out from Thunderbird 1. Scene cuts to Tracy Island Villa Lounge.

Wilson is driving harshly.] [The Jeep drives over a sand dune.] [The Jeep continues on. As they keep moving, Lindsey momentarily sees the front end of Thunderbird 1.] Lindsey: "Hey Wilson, what was that?" Wilson: "What was what?" Lindsey: "I can't see it now. It's gone behind that big sand dune, I guess." [All that can be seen are lots of sand dunes.] [After driving past a big dune, they both see the rear section of Thunderbird 1. Wilson temporarily stops the Jeep.] [Wilson starts the Jeep up again and they moves towards Thunderbird 1.] [Scene cuts to rear end of Thunderbird 1's engines. Cue "The Rescue of Ned Cook" theme.

Hey, he looks like he's in a bad way..." [Wilson and Lindsey exit the Jeep. Scene cuts to Thunderbird 1. Scott slowly regains consciousness.

Scott and Lindsey are in deck chairs opposite to each other, Wilson and Virgil are sitting beside them, respectively. Scott has a bandage round his head. Brains is standing next to Scott. Tin-Tin is finishing clearing up.] Tin-Tin: [Laughing.] "No Scott, you scoffed the lot. Anyway, three helpings is enough. You're supposed to be an invalid, remember?" Wilson: [Taking off his sunglasses.] "It's this desert, I tell ya... I've had a strange feeling about it ever since we came out to look for this pyramid." Lindsey: [Removing his sunglasses.] "Well, some explorers claimed to have caught sight of the Lost Pyramid of Khamandides. Others say that it was just a mirage, and that they just imagined the whole thing." [Scene transitions to the burnt out camp fire. Then cuts to the inside of the right tent. Tin-Tin is fast asleep. Camera pans over to the second tent. Virgil and Scott are asleep as well.

[Cuts to show sand dune after the next after the next.] [O.C.] "Only sand and desert..." [Wilson looks straight ahead. There not so far away, is the Lost Pyramid of Khamandides.] [Wilson starts the Jeep. Cue The Uninvited Desert Exploration theme. The Jeep trundles onwards.] [The Jeep continues forward until it arrives beside the Pyramid.] Wilson: "Yeah. It's deserted. Guess finding anyone else in this lousy desert was too much to hope for..." [They exit the Jeep.] "You can read hieroglyphics, Lindsey. What does it say?" [Cue The Hood's theme.] Lindsey [Examining the Pyramid surface.]: "I can't see any door, Wilson."[Slowly, a section of the rock slides inwards behind him.] "This place is probably solid rock."

A large stream of gas comes billowing out from the surrounding pipeline.] [Cue Edge of Impact theme. The ensuing gas has begun a self-destruct sequence shown on a meter where a white line begins to fill the timer. As it does, a piece of pipe down below explodes. more pieces of machinery blow up as the monorail passes over them.] [Cue World Exclusive Foiled! theme. The timer has reached a fifth of the way through. Steam from the fuelling pipes accumulates inside the refinery.] THE END
