Thunderbirds Are Go! (2015) s02e26 Episode Script
Brains vs. Brawn
[OBJECT IN SKY WHISTLES.]
[GASPS.]
OK.
[MUSIC.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER OVER RADIO.]
[DEVICE BEEPS.]
International Rescue, someone has triggered an emergency beacon in the Sahara Desert.
I'm tracking the source.
Oh, no.
We have a situation.
A really, really big one.
A massive laser satellite just showed up on scanners.
Guys, I think The Mechanic's Project Sentinel is online.
[MUSIC.]
ANNOUNCER: Five four three two one.
[THRUSTERS.]
[TITLE MUSIC.]
Thunderbirds Are Go! JOHN: Thunderbird 1, that laser blast revealed a hidden underground facility.
My scans show one life sign trapped inside.
FAB, Thunderbird 5.
I'm on my way.
Brains, tell me everything we know about Project Sentinel.
Analysis suggests it's an automated weapon satellite.
A single, powerful laser pointing straight at the Earth.
Losing those power cells didn't stop The Mechanic.
He's using the sun to power it now.
It seems to be recharging.
You may only have a few moments before it's able to fire again.
- SCOTT: John, where am I, exactly? - JOHN: I can't find any record of it.
Whoever built that place didn't want anyone to find it.
Well, The Mechanic found it.
[DEVICE BEEPS.]
[DEVICE CHIRPS.]
There's the life signal.
I'm moving in.
[MUSIC.]
BRAINS: Scott, the Sentinel is firing! [GASPS.]
[GRUNTS.]
That was way too close.
It looks like the longer the Sentinel ch-charges, the more powerful its laser.
With enough solar energy, it could fry that whole place with a single shot! Then I'd better move fast.
[DEVICE CHIRPS.]
[GRUNTS.]
This is International Rescue! Open up, I've come to get you outta here! [GASPS.]
Ah, Scott Tracy.
It took you long enough.
The Hood! [GASPS.]
[BEEPS.]
[GASPS.]
BOTH: The Hood! What are you up to, Hood? Isn't it obvious? The Mechanic is trying to fry me with a space laser.
I'm waiting for you to rescue me.
Us rescue you? You are International "Rescue"? Are you not? And that makes you think we'll save you? [CHUCKLES.]
I'm counting on it.
GRANDMA TRACY: Scott, he has a point.
We have a duty to protect people from harm.
We don't get to choose who that is.
- Grandma - But just because we have to save him doesn't mean he'll like it.
FAB.
- OK, Hood, follow me.
- Excellent.
International Rescue, my life is in your hands.
Just make sure you remember that.
Deploy rescue capsule.
You want me to get inside that? Well, you could always stay here.
I warn you, do not try to [SCREAMS.]
[CAPSULE BEEPS.]
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh-ho, this is gonna be fun.
Don't get too comfortable.
It's a short ride to the GDF ultra-max prison.
THE MECHANIC: To The Hood You can hide no more.
Give me what I want or be destroyed.
Ah, my good friend The Mechanic.
Stop this assault immediately.
No.
No.
[GRUNTS.]
No.
[BREATHES HEAVILY.]
I refuse.
Now give me what I want or I'll destroy you.
I don't think International Rescue will let that happen.
He's right, Mechanic.
Stand down.
Deactivate that laser now! I'm not after you, International Rescue.
I only want The Hood.
Step aside! As much as I'd like to, I can't do that.
Then go down with him.
- What does he want? - To blow me up.
And now that means blowing you up too.
Scott, The Sentinel is powering up.
Get out of there now! [GRUNTS.]
[YELLS.]
[ALARM BEEPS.]
[GRUNTS.]
Thunderbird 1 caught the edge of that laser blast.
It won't survive another shot! Maybe we could stash The Hood somewhere quiet while the GDF deal with The Mechanic.
Argh, The Mechanic's found a way to track The Hood so we'd be leaving him in danger.
I wonder what it is The Mechanic wants exactly.
He wants The Hood vapourised.
You know what? I don't blame him.
I'm not so sure.
It seems he wants more than that.
Well, we don't have time to find out! The Thunderbird 1 is about to be toast.
KAYO: Maybe Thunderbird Shadow could carry the weight for a while.
[SIGHS.]
Perfect timing, Kayo.
Well, what are you doing? This is where you get off.
[SCREAMS.]
Hello, Uncle.
I can honestly say this is the first time I'm happy to see you.
Kayo, why don't we continue this family reunion - somewhere a little more comfortable? - Sorry, Uncle.
No can do.
Besides, this is way too much fun.
- JOHN: Kayo, incoming.
- Hold on! [THE HOOD SCREAMS.]
[DEVICE BEEPS.]
Alan, where are you going? To Thunderbird 3.
I'm gonna take out The Sentinel and The Mechanic before he takes out a Tracy! Alan, that's a terrible plan.
Firstly, The Mechanic will be operating The Sentinel remotely.
So we don't where he is.
And secondly, it's a giant laser.
Thunderbird 3 would be shot clean out of the sky.
Got any better ideas? A small, low-powered craft - could possibly slip by undetected.
- Go on.
Then someone could shut down the laser from the inside.
But it would require a person with highly-advanced knowledge of astro-mechanical systems.
Now, who does that sound like? [MAX BEEPS.]
[GULPS.]
Oh, my.
It's time to earn another hero badge, Brains.
Max, grab my tools and meet me in the space elevator.
[MAX BEEPS.]
[MUSIC.]
[MAX BEEPS.]
[MAX CHIRPS.]
JOHN: Kayo, that laser isn't firing at full power, but it can still do some serious damage.
Understood.
[THE HOOD SCREAMS.]
Enjoying the ride, Uncle? [CONTINUES SCREAMING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[ALARM BEEPING.]
Guys, I'm hit.
- Sorry, but this joy ride is over.
- GORDON: No problem, Kayo.
Let Thunderbird 4 take the package for a while.
KAYO: He's all yours, Gordon.
Goodbye, Uncle.
I do hope that thing's waterproof.
THE HOOD: What do you mean? Where are you taking me? [SCREAMS.]
I hope you don't get seasick, Hood, cos we're going all the way down.
[GULPS.]
Oh, no.
Orbital vector attained.
Detaching space elevator from Nano-Tether.
We're on our own now, Max.
[MAX BEEPS.]
Next stop, Project Sentinel.
[MUSIC.]
[SCREAMS.]
Hey! I'm burning up! At this rate, The Mechanic won't have to hit you.
He can just boil you alive! John, this isn't working.
We're in hot water down here.
Don't worry, Thunderbird 4.
Help is on its way.
Our turn to play Pass the Parcel.
- Parker, activate the magnetic bumpers.
- Yes, Milady.
[MUSIC.]
[DEVICE CHIMES.]
Hear that, Hood? You're going for a nice drive in the country.
[GROANS.]
He's all yours, Lady Penelope.
[THE HOOD SCREAMS.]
Parcel received.
[BARKS.]
Now, now, Bertie.
The magnet's locked on but cor, it's heavy.
I do hope it will hold.
Huh? Parker, that magnet could hold a tractor if it had to.
We know that, Milady But The Hood doesn't.
[CHUCKLES.]
[THE HOOD SCREAMS.]
[MAX BEEPS.]
BRAINS: No, Max.
This laser's far too dangerous for anyone to be on board.
Rockets disengaged.
That should let us slip through undetected.
[GASPS.]
Quick, power down until we're past the robotic defences.
[MAX POWERS DOWN.]
Phew.
OK, Max.
We're in.
[MUSIC.]
Shh.
Quietly, Max.
There's no-one here, but we don't know what kind of alarms there are on board.
Wow! This place is absolutely remarkable.
[MAX BEEPS.]
Sorry.
But it is very impressive.
The Mechanic truly is a Oh, dear.
BOTH: What are you doing here?! - THE MECHANIC: Well? - Er I asked first? - It's my satellite.
- Yes, good point.
Erm Mr Mechanic, I'm asking you, engineer to engineer, to stop firing this laser immediately.
No, not until The Hood gives me what I want.
What could The Hood possibly have that you want so badly? It's not what he has.
It's what he does.
What he makes me do.
[GROANS.]
[HIGH-PITCH WARBLING.]
His cybernetic eye.
The Hood is controlling you! Not always.
I've learnt to fight it.
That's much easier up here.
But I can't fight him forever.
Listen to me.
It doesn't have to be like this.
International Rescue can help you.
I can help you.
No-one can help me.
And I won't let you get in my way! [MAX CHIRPS.]
The Hood won't give me my freedom so I'll take it by force.
[BEEPING.]
[MUSIC.]
[YELLS.]
[CAR TYRES SCREECH.]
PARKER: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Flippin' struth! [DOG WHIMPERS.]
Parker, language.
Wait, Max.
I won't let this continue.
We have to shut down the laser.
[MAX BEEPS.]
Everyone is counting on us.
[MAX BEEPS.]
Good idea, Max! You hold them off! I'll break into the controls and take this laser offline.
Hold on, Milady.
[SCREAMS.]
Parker, we're quite the moving target.
Can't we just ditch The Hood? Better him than us.
That's not very International Rescue now, is it, Parker? No, Milady.
[MUSIC.]
Thunderbird 2 couldn't sit by and let you guys have all the fun.
[GROANS.]
I think I'm going to be Ugh.
Charming.
[MUSIC.]
[BEEPS.]
I'm going as fast as I can.
I need more time! If I regroup the [MUMBLES.]
and then I can No! [GRUNTS.]
ALAN: Magnetic coupling detached.
- THE HOOD: Whoa! [SCREAMS.]
- SCOTT: Got it! [THE HOOD SCREAMS.]
[LAUGHS.]
This is the most fun I had in ages.
[GRUNTS.]
[THE HOOD SCREAMS.]
[SCREAMS.]
[YELLS.]
You think this is a game! I have a way to end it.
I'll destroy everything! Maximum power! JOHN: The Mechanic is powering up for a single, massive shot.
Everything in the vicinity of The Hood will be destroyed.
Brains, it's now or never.
Almost got it.
[MUSIC.]
[MAX BEEPS.]
[MAX BEEPS.]
[WHIRRS DOWN.]
There! I've shut down his controls.
No! You ruined everything! Now I'll never be free of him.
Mechanic? As chief engineer of International Rescue, trust me, we'll find a way so The Hood will never have power over you again.
[ALARM BLARES.]
JOHN: Brains, you shut down the firing controls, but the laser is still charging.
The Sentinel is going critical.
- You have to get out of there now.
- Oh, dear.
You're coming with me.
You want to arrest me that much? I'm not arresting you.
I'm saving you.
Now come on! The Sentinel's gonna blow in five, four, three, two, one.
[MUFFLED BOOM.]
International Rescue, this is Brains.
We're coming home.
[MUSIC.]
Colonel Casey, The Mechanic is not fully responsible for his actions.
He must be protected from The Hood.
I got your briefing.
We'll see he's kept safe.
International Rescue will be in touch, I promise.
Engineer to engineer.
[THE HOOD GROANS.]
[MUSIC.]
- Hood, you're under arrest.
- Yes, please! Just get me away from International Rescue! It seems we can't say it enough.
Thank you, International Rescue.
All in a day's work, Colonel.
COLONEL CASEY: And quite a day it's been.
With those two in custody, all of you might just get a break.
Well, to be honest, I'm looking forward to some good, old-fashioned rescues for a change.
- Sea quakes.
- Rock slides.
- Runaway asteroids.
- Petty thieves stealing classified technology.
- Unruly ambassadors.
- Dog-sitting.
And fused power relays.
[CHIRPS.]
[SOLDIERS GRUNT.]
THE HOOD: Everything has gone according to plan.
The Tracys have taken care of The Mechanic.
And now nothing stands in the way of us causing global chaos.
Thank you International Rescue.
