Narrator: Five. Four. Three. Two. One. Thunderbirds Are Go. [The story begins with the title card Terror in New York placed static over footage of an ocean. Almost immediately, Thunderbird 2 soars majestically across the titles. Cut to inside Thunderbird 2's cockpit, where Virgil Tracy sits at the helm.] Virgil: "Thunderbird 1 from Thunderbird 2. Picking up radar scan from surface vessel." [Cut to Scott Tracy inside Thunderbird 1's cockpit.] Scott: "Switch radio to Thunderbird 1." [Cut back to Virgil Tracy inside Thunderbird 2.] Virgil: "Who do you think we're picking up, Scott?"
