[Aboard the Sun Probe, things are warming up.]

Colonel Harris: "Just 24 hours to go."

Solarnaut Camp: "To crash into the sun. It's like a nightmare!"

Solarnaut Asher: "Yeah. One I've had many times."

Colonel Harris: "Well, there's still time. We've got a whole day before...."

Solarnaut Asher: "Before we melt to nothing! Why doesn't earth do something?"

Sarah ( on radio): "Solar Module from International Rescue. Do you read me."

Solarnaut Asher: "Now I'm hearing things. I thought that was the radio."

Sarah ( on radio): "Come in Solar Module, this is International Rescue."

Colonel Harris: "It IS the radio."

Solarnaut Asher: "Yes, sir!"

Solarnaut Camp: "International Rescue! Of course!"

Solarnaut Asher: "Solar Module to Thunderbird 3. Where are you? Can you help us?"

( cuts to Thunderbird 3 )

Sarah: "We hope so. We're going to try to fire your retros from space."

Glynda ( on the radio): "We're two hours away from calculated release area, Apps."

Apps: "Check. But the cabin temperature is increasing rapidly. We can't go much closer to them."

Sarah: "Why not try it now?"

Scott Tracy: "OK. At least we'll know how short we are of success."

Glynda ( on the radio): "I heard that. Operating safety beam now."

[Sara hand Apps watch the safety beam travel towards Sun Probe on a screen. It fails to reach its target.]

APps: "Negative. We're four hours short."

Sarah: "Four hours. But that means we'll have to go much closer to the sun than was estimated."

Apps: "It looks like it."

Glynda ( on the radio): "Can we stand the increased heat and radiation?"

Sarah: "On paper, no, but we can't just abandon those three guys. We sure have a problem."

[Scene cuts to Kieron in his office; he is talking to Ozpin  on the Screen.]

Kieron: "The problem is Glynda . Can we ask her to risk her life further?"

Ozpin: "Kieron, I could not help but hear your words. Glynda is my friend  and  she like a sister  to you I think I can say what her answer to your problem would be."

Kieron:: "Yes, I know what you're gonna say. She wouldn't hesitate to go on into the danger zone. But is it right for us to ask her to?"

Ozpin: "Both her and me and all of remnant and owe our lives to you,For this reason, it is right. She will go with the others."

[ Jonson photo beeps]

Kieron: "Go ahead, Jonson . How's it going?"

[ it shows Jonson in Thunderbird 2 cockpit]

Jonson: "We've just crossed the Thimalayan Mountains, father. We ought to be touching down on Mount Arkan in about three and a half minutes."

Kieron: "What's it like up there?"

Jonson: "Pretty stormy, father. Pretty stormy."

[Cuts to show Thunderbird 2 flying through a blizzard and preparing to land on a mountainside.]

Jonson "Now, the ledge should be immediately beneath us."

[Thunderbird 2 lands.]

Jonson: "Base from Thunderbird 2. Calling base from Thunderbird 2."

Kieron ( on radio): "Loud and clear, Virgil."

Jonson: "We've touched down just under the summit of Mount Arkan, father, and are about to get out the transmitter truck."

Kieron ( on radio): "All right, Virgil."

Jonson: "What's the news from Thunderbird 3?"

Kieron ( on radio): "Not very good, I'm afraid. Their first safety beam projection was a failure, and they're having to go nearer the sun."

Jonson: "Don't worry. Maybe we'll have more success this end."

[Thunderbird 2 lifts itself up and the transmitter truck exits the pod. It drives on through the snow for some time. Virgil and Brains are inside it.]

( look at this clip from 9.40 to 10.11 to see the Transmitter truck to go out the pod and for thunderbird 2 to go on it 4 legs)

Brains: "Right, Jonson , this should be fine. We're well clear of Thunderbird."

Jonson: "OK. Let's start lining up the transmitter beam."

[Cuts to Thunderbird 3.]

Sarah: "We're at the first estimated region, Glynda . Just give the word and we'll put you in a release capsule and get you to safety."

Glynda: "We have been through the whole question, Sarah. Any delay increases the danger to the solarnauts. I will go with you."

Sarah: "Good girl. OK, let's try the safety beam again."

Glynda: "Yes, Alan. Here goes."

[Sarah and Apps watch the safety beam travel towards Sun Probe again. It still fails to reach its target.]

Apps: "That's what I was afraid of. Another two hours before we're in range."

Sarah: "All right. Another two hours it is. Let's hope we can all stand up to the heat."

[Cuts to the transmitter truck.]

Jonson: "Let's hope we can stand up to the cold. How's the beam situation?"

Brains: "All set. Transmitting safety beam now."

Jonson: "Well, Brains, what's the position?"

Brains: "It's a very powerful beam we're sending. But not as yet quite powerful enough."

Jonson: "Is there anything we can do?"

Brains: "Oh, yeah. Once I have modified the tripartite transistor packs and made a few adjustments to the wiring, we can try again."

Jonson: "OK, while you're doing that, I'll fix us some hot coffee."

[Scene cuts to the Sun Probe. Camp and Asher are barely conscious.]

Colonel Harris: "I can't stand the heat. It's so hot."

Solarnaut Camp: "Are you sure you can't get any more out of the refrigeration plant?"

Colonel Harris: "No. Nothing's working any more."

Solarnaut Camp: "Where's that rescue ship? It's nearly four hours since we were in contact with them."

[Cuts to Thunderbird 3.]

Sarah: "We daren't go much closer. The hull won't stand much more. Try the signal again, Glynda . Glynda , try the signal again."

Glynda: "Yes. Try the signal again."

[Sarah and Apps watch the safety beam as it fails to reach its target again.]

Alan Tracy: "It's still short. Can't you increase the power, Glynda ?"

Glynda: "I can overrun the system up to about 0.5."

Apps: "Then do that, will you. We just can't go any closer."

[This time, the screen shows the beam reaching the Sun Probe. Scene cuts to Sun Probe. Its engines roar into action.]

Colonel Harris: "This is it, I guess. The ship's breaking up. I figured I'd be dead before it happened. I reckon it won't be long now. Why am I still alive? Why isn't the module melting? Say, that noise.... It's the rocket motors! They've fired! Asher, Camp, we're leaving the sun! We're gonna live!"

[Cuts back to Thunderbird 3.]

Sarah: "OK, the solar ship's out of danger. Let's head for home."

Apps: "Just in time, I guess. I couldn't stand much more of this heat."

Sarah: "Fire retros."

Sarah: "Well, fire retros, Sarah! It's getting unbearable!"

Sarah: "I have, but they're not working!"

Apps: "Sarah, we're still on a collision course with the sun!"

[Scene cuts to Kieron office with the video screan of his dad   next to the tv. The reporter is back on television.]

TV Reporter: "We are now certain that the solar spaceship has been saved. I want to be the first person to say thank you to International Rescue for their.... Wait, folks, here's more news. This is disastrous. It can't be true! According to the tracking stations, Thunderbird 3 has not altered course. She's heading straight for the sun! Stay tuned to...."

Kieron: "Dad, what's happening? They're not pulling it round."

Ozpin: "Kieron , the retros must have failed!"

Kieron: "We've got to get through to Brains right away."

[Scene cuts to the transmitter truck.]

Jonson: "Hello? Kieron?"

Kieron: "Jonson? Bad news about Thunderbird 3."

Jonson: "What's happened?"

Kieron: "Sarah succeeded in saving the Sun Probe, but now, it seems the retros have failed on Thunderbird 3, and they're heading straight for the sun."

Jonson: "Straight for the sun! Brains! What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do?"

Jonson: "Think, Brains! Think!"

Brains: "If it is the case that the beam transmitter is still operating...."

Jonson: "Yes?"

Brains: "We could perhaps, only perhaps, mind you, neutralise the transmitter on Thunderbird 3."

Jonson: "Great! What's the frequency?"

Brains: "I don't know, but I could probably work it out on the mobile computer in Thunderbird 2."

Jonson: "OK. Let's get to it!"

[Cuts to Thunderbird 3. Everyone is exhausted from the heat.]

Sarah "I must think. Must find the answer. Why haven't the retros fired? Lack of power, maybe. But why? Gee, it's like an oven in here. The radio beam... that could cut the power. Glynda, have you shut down the beam? Glynda  ! Can you hear me? Have you shut down the safety beam? Glynda  , I'm coming down."

Sarah: "Must get down to the lounge.... Got to make it. So hot. It's so hot!"

[Cuts to Kieron office.]

TV Reporter: "Only a specially fitted ship can withstand the radiation and heat of the sun at that distance. Thunderbird 3 is doomed. What a tragedy. In saving the solarnauts, the gallant International Rescue crew have lost their own lives. All hope is rapidly fading."

Kieron: "I won't believe it. I just can't! Sarah, Apps , Glynda. They've got to get out of it!" as he said this he have some tears in his eyes as he was worryed and scared for his family

[Cuts to Mount Arkan. Jonson and Brains are back inside Thunderbird 2, looking for a trunk.]

Brains: "That's it, Jonson  . Right, open it up and we'll work out the formula for the transmitter."

[They open the trunk. Inside it is Brains' robot.]

Jonson: "Braman!"

Brains: "Oh, no! Jonson  , we brought the wrong box!"

[Cut to Thunderbird 3. Sarah makes his way to the lounge where Tin-Tin is.]

Sarah: "Must reach the control panel."

[Sarah falls down. Cuts back to Thunderbird 2.]

Brains: "It's no use, Jonson  . There's nothing we can do!"

Jonson: "Listen, couldn't you work out the formula on paper?"

Brains: "I only wish I could, Jonson, but you see, without a computer, it would take weeks."

Jonson: "But if you could work out the details of Braman's mechanics without a computer, surely you could...."

Brains: "Braman! Th-th-that's it! He's our only hope."

Jonson: "Well, let's get on with it, Brains! For Pete's sake."

Brains: "What? Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah."

Jonson: "All right, Brains. The formula!"

Brains: "Now, Braman, I want you to calculate the following equation. What is the square root to the power of 29 of the trigonometric amplitude of 87 divided by the quantitative hydraxis of 956 to the power of 77? Do you understand the question?"

Braman: "Yes."

Brains: "Off you go then. Now. Come on, Braman. Come on!"

Jonson: "Do you think it's gonna work?"

Brains: "It's got to. It's got to!"

Brains: "Well, B-B-Braman?"

Braman: "45,969."

Jonson: "It worked, Brains, it worked!"

Brains: "I only hope it's right. Come on, let's get back to the transmitter truck."

[Cuts to Kieron in his office.]

Kieron: "International Rescue calling Jonson at Mount Arkan. This is International Rescue Base calling Thunderbird 2. That's funny, they don't answer, dad ."

Ozpin ( on radio): "They probably used all their power on the safety beam."

Kieron: "Maybe you're right, Gordon. Maybe you're right."

Jonson: "Base from Thunderbird 2. Base from Thunderbird 2."

Kieron: "Loud and clear, Jonson, where are you?"

Jonson: "I'm sorry, Kieron. We just heard your signal as we came back from the pod. Listen, it's our only hope. We haven't got time to explain, but Brains is gonna try to jam Thunderbird 3's transmitter. Ready, Brains?"

Brains: "Yeah. I've lined the transmitter up."

Jonson: "Right. Go!"

[Brains pulls a lever. After a while, the beam reaches Thunderbird 3, and its retros fire up.]

Sarah: "What's happened? Hey, the retros must have fired. We're moving away from the sun! We're moving away from the sun!"

[Thunderbird 3 turned around flying back to earth back with Jonson and Brains}

Brains: "Jonson ! Something's happening. I'm getting a reading from Thunderbird 3!"

Jonson: "Yeah, me, too! It can mean only one thing: the retros."

Brains: "Yeah. They've fired. The retros have fired on Thunderbird 3!"

Jonson: "Kieron?"

Kieron : "OK, Jonson . I heard. Good thinking, boys. You've done a great job. I'm really proud of my International Rescue team today. Head back for base. We're gonna give a real heroes' welcome to Glynda and Sarah and Apps when they get back and then to you and Brians towa."

[Cuts to Tracy Island. Brains and Braman are playing another game of chess.]

Brains: "Now the excitement of Thunderbird 3's homecoming is over, Braman, let's see if my improvements on you work. It's your move."

Braman: "Checkmate!"

Brains: "I don't believe it! It can't be true! A machine cannot have a brain better than mine."

Kieron: "It was a fluke, Brains. You've been working kinda hard lately, you know."

Brains: "Yeah, that must be it. I wasn't concentrating. That must be it, yeah."

Kieron: "Anyway, Brains, thanks for all you've done."

Sarah: "Yeah, thanks, Brains."

Apps: "Thanks, Brains."

Glynda: "Thank you, Brains."

Braman: "Thanks, Brains!"
