Quotes

Brains: "Scott, when I designed the TV-21, your dad w-wanted all the thrust I could give him. That booster is the most p-powerful one I've ever built."
Scott: "More powerful than Thunderbird 1?"
Brains: "W-Well... yes."

Lady Penelope: "Scotland, please, Parker."
Parker: "Right away, m'lady." [mumbles] "Of all the places to hide out he picks the rainy one."

Virgil: "Hex driver?" [Gordon sighs and passes him the hammer.] "Does this look like a hex driver?"

Alan: "What is it?"
Brains: "It's a replacement node for articulated k-kinematic rescue operations in deep space."
Alan: "Uh..."
Brains: "It's a robot."
Alan: "Like MAX! Got it."

Thunderbird 1 is in pursuit of the Mechanic

The Mechanic is trying to outrun Thunderbird 1 with the TV-21

"Please use caution, Scott. The Mechanic must be piloting remotely, that means he's got n-nothing to lose"

"Scott, There’s a safe area up ahead. You can knock-out the TV-21 and bring down the plane with zero civilian casualties"

"No way Thunderbird five, that plane belongs to us and I’m going to get it back in one piece"

Scott launches a grapple at the Mechanic's craft

"Got it, now to put on the brakes"

"Scott, when I built the design for the TV-21 your dad w-wanted all the thrust I could give him. That booster is the most p-powerful one I’ve ever built"

"More powerful than Thunderbird 1?"

"W-well..yes"

The Mechanic begins to boost the power of the TV-21's engines

The TV-21's thrusters start, blinding Scott in Thunderbird 1

The grapple snaps

Thunderbird 1 spins out of control

"Thunderbird 1 is going down!"

"Scott, this is Grandma. Stay calm, throttle back your thrusters."

Thunderbird 1 begins to crash-dive

"Now punch it!"

"Don't worry, I won't let the TV-21 out of my sight"

"If The Mechanic is piloting the TV-21 remotely, it's got to be receiving a control signal - and that control signal must be broadcasting from somewhere"

"He can't hide from me.. Got it! The Scottish Highlands!"

"Kayo, this is a job for the GDF"

"By the time the GDF gets around to chasing signals, he'll be long gone"

"Kayo shouldn't face The Mechanic alone. I'm getting her some help"

"How would you like a second chance to get The Mechanic?"

"I'd enjoy it more than Parker likes complaining about the weather. Scotland please, Parker"

"Right away, M'lady. Of all the places to hide out, he picks the rainy one"

Thunderbird 4 is inside a pod in Thunderbird 2's docking bay

Brains is looking over the damage to Thunderbird 4

"What do you think?"

"I think we have a l-lot of work to do"

"Ever since he was a boy, your father dreamed he'd be the fastest pilot who ever flew"

"So he and Brains built the TV-21?"

"It was beautiful. A dream come true"
"Until The Hood crashed it"

"It didn't crash his dream. Your dad didn't care about being fastest anymore, he only cared about being first"

"First on the scene when people need help, first to act when someone's in trouble and instead of one ship to do it all, he built five"

"The Mechanic's craft has stopped over the GDF's high security iridium vault, the GDF are responding now"

"All personnel have been evacuated, Colonel Casey - Except one"

" Well, get him out of there!"
"He says he won't leave. He's afraid of losing his job"

'Oh and he told me to say, 'Gladys won't go either'"

"What's his name?"
"A crewman.. Tedford, Ned Tedford"
"Oh boy"

The Iridium valut

"No one's stealing the world's supply of Iridium, Gladys. Not on our watch!"

The Mechanic's craft is stealing the vault

"Get me International Rescue"

The Mechanic's craft escapes into space

"As much as I'd like to smash his toy, there's a worker trapped inside the vault"

"Ok Colonel. International Rescue is on it"

"Even with the TV-21's booster, that mass of Iridium is slowing it down big time"

"Sorry Max"

Trivia

• Both parts of Up from the Depths were screened to the public at a BAFTA event on October 1, 2016.
• This is the first time a complete launch sequence of Thunderbird Shadow is shown without any other Thunderbird craft.
• While it is mentioned in Up from the Depths Part 1 that they will retrieve Thunderbird 4 with a pod, Gordon has previously stated that a pod wouldn't be capable of surviving the pressure of that depth. It is assumed that Brains had made a reinforced pod to retrieve the damaged craft, or used the remote airbag pods which were used in Heist Society.
• This is the first episode of this series where members of International Rescue are onboard a Thunderbird whilst wearing their off-duty clothing.
• This episode hints at Grandma Tracy's capabilities as a pilot due to her directing Scott in how to regain control of TB1. This would be further explored in Grandma Tourismo.

Goofs

• When Kayo gears up, the chair goes to the right. According to the wall sign however, the passage to the right leads to the Thunderbird 3 hangar.
