Thunderbirds Are Go! (2015) s03e18 Episode Script
Avalanche
[giggling.]
Let's be friends! What's up, Bearheads? This is Brandon Berringer, AKA The Bear, vlogging live from Pincushion Mountain totally loaded with fresh powder.
"Hey, Brandon, just how awesomely fresh is it?" So fresh that no-one's been wild enough to board it till now.
Bear, are you sure this is safe? Well, of course it's not safe.
That's what makes it wild.
Seriously, people, this is really, really dangerous.
And The Bear is no stranger to danger.
This vlog's going to be legendary.
Let's send up a drone cam, yeah? To get those extreme action close-ups.
[music.]
- All eyes on you, Bear.
- Wicked.
See you at the bottom, Goose.
[music continues.]
Camera is rolling, Bear.
You are all set.
OK, Bearheads let's be extreme! [music.]
Whoo! Yeah! [rumbling.]
[yells.]
Avalanche! No, no, no No, no, no! That's like really not cool.

I got the pneumatic leak sealed and flushed.
- How's the system check looking? - Hydraulics are good, engine is A-OK, and I've reconfigured the VTOL protocol.
- Thunderbird 2 is approved for flight.
- Thanks for the help.
Just keeping up with regular maintenance is a full-time job.
Oh.
Alan's been scrubbing carbon deposits off the engine cowling for ages.
He's really working hard.
[MAX beeps.]
Oh, yeah, Alan's a real busy little bee.
[sighs.]
Thank you, MAX.
OK, time to catch up on some vids.
[giggling.]
Let's be friends.
Oh.
Cool, Brandon is live vlogging.
21 million views, man! He must be doing something super wild.
This is Brandon, "The Bear" Berringer coming to you from right in front of a totally massive avalanche.
Don't worry, Bearheads, I think I'm gonna make it.
Scratch that.
Bear out.
See ya! [no signal beep.]
Busted! - Guys, we have a situation.
- No kidding.
You're having MAX do all your maintenance for you.
No.
I mean, yeah.
Of course I am.
But no, this is serious.
There's an emergency.
It's not just an excuse to get out of doing chores? Tracy's honour.
Brandon Berringer is caught in an avalanche, guys.
- I was watching it live.
- OK.
Time to fly.
Yes! And you can finish your chores when we get back.
Ahh.
[music.]
Five, four, three, two, one.
[thrusters.]
Thunderbirds are go.
Thunderbird 2, this is Tracy Island.
I'll be running control for John.
Alan, give me a full sitrep.
It's The Bear, Grandma.
He's in serious trouble.
I was watching his live feed until it cut out.
We've had the pleasure of meeting him once before.
He seems to have a thing for mountains and trouble.
Well, he's got both.
My scans show he's brought a good portion of the ocean snow pack down on his head.
There's still millions of tons of snow up on those peaks.
Careful, boys.
The slightest disturbance could trigger a full avalanche.
And that includes the Thunderbirds' engines.
OK, looks like we're going to have to find another way onto that mountain.
Thunderbird 2, find a safe place to land, and meet me up there.
I'm going to find our old friend, Brandon.
F.
A.
B.
[music.]
Hurry up, Virg.
I've got to get down there before Scott rescues The Bear.
Er, Al, are you really that worried about this guy? Well, sure, but, you know, also I don't want to miss out on the chance to pull off a cool rescue on his vlog.
You know that's not why we do this, Alan.
Dad always said International Rescue wasn't about fame or recognition.
It's about rescuing people.
Yes, and today, we happen to be rescuing a really famous person on a live vlog in front of 21 million people, - and I plan to be there.
- If you're going to be appearing in front of millions of people, you'd better do it in style.
Configuring a Sherpa Pod.
[whirring.]
[music.]
Sherpa Pod is go.
Now, to get into that vlog.
Oh.
And rescue The Bear, of course.
[chuckles.]
Grandma, have you had any luck contacting Brandon? I've managed to pick up the signal from his helmet cam, and I'm getting life signs from the crash bubble sensors.
Mr Bear isn't answering.
Keep trying.
I'll launch some vibration sensors.
If there is another avalanche, we'll need all the warning we can get.
[whirring.]
[music.]
[beeping.]
Mr Bear, this is International Rescue.
Can you hear me, dear? It's Grandma Tracy calling.
G-Goose.
Have to f-find Goose.
You're not making much sense, dear.
I'm just going to scan your vitals.
No broken bones, that's good.
Hm.
Pulse is irregular and oh, blood pressure is dangerously high.
Tell me, do you know which way up is? "Hey, Brandon, which way is up?" Scott, you've got to get to Mr Bear fast.
He's all wrong side up.
He's what? His feet are where his head should be.
He's trapped upside down.
Being upside down for too long can be deadly.
All the blood is rushing straight to the poor boy's head.
OK, Grandma.
I think I've found him.
Alan, how is that pod coming? It's coming as fast as it can.
I don't want to set off another avalanche before we've even rescued The Bear from the first one.
Fire up the heat cone.
I calculate you're going 20 metres down.
Activating heat cone.
Five metres.
Ten.
I found The Bear's crash bubble.
Engaging arms.
[music.]
[shivering.]
S-Scotty.
Am I g-glad to see you? Hello again, Brandon.
Let's get you the right way up.
Hi, I'm Alan! Am I in the vlog? The vlog? Oh no, where's Goose.
- Goose? What goose? - Goose.
She's, like, my camera tech.
International Rescue, we've got another situation.
Searching for life signs.
Nothing.
Thermal scans say you are the only ones on that mountain.
For some reason, our instruments aren't detecting her.
And this mountain is way too big to probe by hand.
We're running out of options.
Guys, do you know how many viewers my vlog was on? When I'm stuck and don't know what to do, I just say, "Hey, Brandon, what would make the wildest vlog?" Sorry, Brandon, we don't have time for your vlog right now.
Yes, we do.
Scott, the vlog camera drone has a homing setting.
If we can get our hands on it, it'll lead us right back to its operator's last-known location.
F-A-B.
I'm on it.
Yah! - What just? - Oh, yeah.
I forgot to mention, it also has an obstacle-avoidance feature.
Ahh.
Stay still! [chuckles.]
This is way wild.
Smile for the vlog, Scotty! [grunting.]
Quit moving.
OK, time to launch a few drones of our own.
Let's see you get away from me now.
[grunts.]
Gotcha! Activating homing setting.
That was totally rad! So what now? Shall I, like, strap on a jetpack or something? Er, no.
You know what, Brandon, - you can ride in the pod with Alan.
- Vlog, here I come.
I'll meet you there.
OK, let's go.
How do you operate one of these things anyway? I I think I'd better drive.
OK, Bear? The drones have gone down a crevice into the mountain.
That explains why the thermal scans didn't pick up any body heat.
I'll pull up the drone remote feed and see what's down there.
F.
A.
B.
[music.]
Found her.
[grunting.]
Hello, dear.
Hold on a second.
Somebody will be right down to rescue you.
I'm just going to perform a scan to check your vitals.
It's nothing to be afraid of, dear.
The snow is holding now, but another avalanche is coming.
[beeping.]
Scott, we're running out of time.
- What's the matter, Scott? - The gap is too narrow.
I can't fit.
Looks like this is a job for Brandon Berringer.
Get ready, Bearheads.
The Bear is gonna do some awesomely intense rescuing.
Yeah? On second thought, I'd better try.
Yeah, maybe later, Bear.
[winch rattling.]
Ooh.
Hey, I could take the vlog cam with me.
You know, for the Bearheads.
"Hey, Brandon, should Alan Tracy live vlog this rescue?" No.
OK, thanks.
- Bye.
- Oh OK.
Gotta go on my own.
Totally fine.
[beeping.]
21 million people watching The Bear's vlog, and I'm stuck down in a hole in the ground.
Alan, why do you want to be in this vlog so much? Because it's cool.
And since when did you care about being cool? Since ever.
- [grunts.]
Made it.
- Am I glad to see you.
I'm International Rescue, I've come to get you out of here.
OK, now hold on tight.
Oh.
[chuckles.]
Er, I meant onto the rope.
- Oh.
Yeah.
- It's fine.
All safe and sound.
I think that'll make a pretty good ending to the vlog.
What do you think, Bear? [rumbling.]
[gasps.]
I don't think it's the end! The snow is shifting.
It's avalanche time.
Guys, you need to find shelter.
I may not make it to you in time.
The Sherpa Pod.
We could use it like a giant crash bubble.
Scott, you take Goose up in the jetpack.
Me and Bear can shelter in the pod.
What do you say, Bear? Want to get buried in another avalanche? - Awesome.
- We'll be back for you.
Just don't forget where we're buried.
Aren't you going to film this for your vlog? - It's going to be totally intense.
- Nah, I think I'll skip it.
I get it.
I'm just not cool enough for your vlog.
Are you kidding me? You're Alan Tracy, the coolest, most extreme person there is.
- What? You think I'm cool? - Totally.
You do crazy, intense stunts every day to save people.
You're Alan Tracy.
You're International Rescue.
Yeah, that is pretty cool.
If I put you in my vlog, nobody would watch me.
Next to you, The Bear is nothing.
When Alan Tracy's around, the cam stays well off.
Brandon Berringer thinks I'm cool.
Imagine that.
[music.]
I see them.
Deploying magnetic grappling cables.
OK, you two, brace for impact.
[music.]
Here it comes.
[clank.]
[grunting.]
[Brandon screaming.]
Well, way extreme! What's up, Bearheads? This is Brandon Berringer live vlogging from inside Thunderbird 2.
Massive shout out to my friends, International Rescue.
Major thanks.
You guys are the absolute wildest.
Especially Alan.
[clears throat.]
So, is there anything you want to say to the audience? - Stay out of danger.
- Don't forget to brush your teeth.
And always be extreme.
[click.]
[giggling.]
- Hey! Hey! Come on! - Let's be friends.
