| - Father in Balloon: "Mayday, mayday. We're out of control and gaining altitude." Father: "I'm at 10 thousand feet and climbing. Can anyone hear me?" [He stops at the sound of engines] "What is that?" [It's Thunderbird 2! She pulls up next to the balloon and Virgil Tracy appears at the top of her canopy.] [The Father hands over his son to Virgil] [The Father reaches out as far as he can, but it's not enough to reach Virgil. Suddenly, the balloon breaks free from the basket and he falls towards the ground] [Opening credits] [Thunderbird 5] [Thunderbird 2] [Thunderbird 2 dives to catch up to the Father. Virgil straps himself into a harness and opens the roof hatch. He flies up to the Father, and he manages to grab his hand this time.] [Virgil remotely actives Thunderbird 2's VTOL engines, stopping her just off the ground. Virgil and the Father fall back into Thunderbird 2's cockpit.] [Thunderbird 3.] [Thunderbird 5.] [Thunderbird 1's hangar.] Brains: "Not to worry Scott. With my new mobile engineering lab, I should have you back in the air in no time. Now, let's have a look at that hatch deployment actuator." [He deploys an arm that straightens out and strikes MAX, sending him flying across the hangar.] "Oops, sorry MAX!" [FAB 1.] Parker: "Right away, m'lady." [Parker leaves a trail of oil behind FAB 1. The slick knocks the motorbike off the road.] "I always love using that." [FAB 1 pulls up at a red carpet event. Parker exits the car to open Lady Penelope's door.] [Thunderbird 2.] [Tracy Island kitchen.] [Virgil enters the lounge room.] [John appears on the holo-table.] [Sealab-1. The crew inside is screaming.] [Thunderbird 2 launches] [Sealab-1. The crew are still screaming.] Gordon: "Systems check complete, docking clamp released. We are go for module deployment." [The module is released into the ocean.] "We are go for launch." [Thunderbird 4 launches.] [Virgil launches two magnetic cables.] [John contacts Tracy Island.] [Thunderbird 1 launches.] Virgil: "The station must be made of some kind of composite. I'm not getting a lock. Come on! Attach!" [Thunderbird 1 arrives.] "Thunderbird 1, welcome to the party. I'm having a hard time grabbing on." [Thunderbird 1 manages to attach a cable first try.] Gordon: "Not until I get what I came for." [Another sea quake begins.] "Uh, you have to be kidding me." [Gordon fetches the device and returns to Thunderbird 4.] [Gordon blasts the cave-in away and exits the trench.] [Tracy Island. Alan and Kayo have just returned from their excursion in Thunderbird 3.] [Gordon begins to cut his way into the lab.] [Gordon retrieves the female engineer first.] Gordon: "You're gonna be okay. First dry tube is away. One more to go. I'm going back in." [Another sea quake strikes.] "The lab is shifting. It's gonna flip any second. Argh!" [Module 4. The first dry tubes are surfacing.] Virgil: "I've got you." [Virgil turns to Gordon.] "Nice job, bro. See you back at the ranch, Thunderbird 1." [Tracy Island.] [Gordon notions to the earthquake device he found.] [Virgil yawns.]
