00:00 Thomas the Tank Engine raced backwards as fast as he could.
00:03 "Oh dear," he said, "Mr. Conductor could be anywhere on the island. I need to find him as fast as I can, though. This is going to be a real challenge, unfortunately."
00:12 "Hmm, if I were Mr. Conductor, where would I be?"
00:15 "Hmm, but he couldn't think of anywhere."
00:17 "Well, Mr. Conductor does like the docks, but he had already checked there."
00:21 "Oh dear," said Thomas, "I'm in trouble. It will be a miracle if I find Mr. Conductor now."
00:26 Just then, he saw him. "Mr. Conductor!"
00:29 said Thomas. "There you are! Hello, Thomas!" said Mr. Conductor. "How are you?"
00:34 "Good," said Thomas. "I've been looking for you all over the place."
00:37 "Same here," said Mr. Conductor. "I'm glad I found you. Have you heard what's happened to Diesel 10?"
00:42 "Worse," said Thomas. "I know about all his plans, and I know that he wants to get revenge on Lady and I."
00:47 "I've heard that too," said Mr. Conductor. "We're in a lot of trouble now, Thomas," he said. "If you see Mr. Conductor, let me know. If you see Diesel 10, let me know."
00:55 "Okay," said Thomas. "I'll let you know. So what have you been doing?"
00:58 "Oh, nothing," he said. "I've just been calling my brother, Junior, a lot, seeing what's happening. I just can't wait till Mr. Topham Hatt gets back. Then everything will return right back to normal."
01:10 "You know, one thing I've noticed about the railway," said Mr. Conductor, "is..."
01:14 But Thomas wasn't listening. He was watching something else.
01:17 "Out of the construction site, peep Diesel 10."
01:21 "Uh, Mr. Conductor," said Thomas. "Did you come over here for a second? I need to tell you something."
01:26 "Oh, Thomas," said Mr. Conductor, "please, I'm telling a story here. Can't you just listen for once?"
01:31 As I was saying, Diesel 10 was getting closer.
01:34 "Uh, Mr. Conductor, my wheels look a little shabby. Can you polish them?"
01:39 "Not right now," said Mr. Conductor. Diesel 10 lurched onto the turntable.
01:44 "Mr. Conductor, uh, what is it, Thomas?"
01:48 "Diesel 10's right behind you!"
01:50 "Oh, he isn't," he said. "I would have heard his growl if I..."
01:53 "Hello!" "Hello, sir," said Diesel 10.
01:57 "Diesel 10, get out of here immediately!"
02:00 "No, I won't," said Diesel 10. "Heheh, I finally got you now."
02:05 "Guess what I want for my..." "Pinchy's hungry. Guess what he wants for his next meal?"
02:09 "He wants a blue, a blue small tank engine for an appetizer, an old man for lunch,
02:17 and he wants a pink little magical engine for dessert. Sound good?"
02:22 "Guess what? You won't even get to sit at a table," said Thomas.
02:25 He rushed away, and Mr. Conductor hopped on board.
02:28 "Hey!" said Diesel 10. "Get back here!"
02:30 But Thomas wouldn't stop. "Oh, grrr," said Diesel 10. "I'll get you.
02:34 Splatter and Dodge, you know what to do."
02:36 "Uh, sir, to save time, you can call a splodge."
02:40 "Now, pa, that's silly." "But you used to call a splodge."
02:44 "Just get after them, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, uh, uh, okay, we're going."
02:51 "Good," said Diesel 10. "Get out of here."
02:53 And they both rushed away after Diesel 10, after Thomas.
03:00 Thomas raced along the line as fast as he could, but he couldn't go very fast.
03:04 "My wheels are still tired from when Diesel 10 was chasing us."
03:08 "I can't go very fast, Mr. Conductor."
03:11 "It's all right," said Mr. Conductor. "Just go as fast as you can and you'll be all right."
03:15 Thomas was going as fast as he could, but unfortunately, Splatter and Dodge were catching up.
03:22 "I've always known them to, they've always been known to be one of the fastest engines that ever came to Sodor," said Mr. Conductor.
03:29 They raced by Toby. "Thomas, be careful!" said Toby.
03:32 "Why?" asked Thomas. "The station's nearly full. You're gonna need to find the right track.
03:37 We don't, we don't have time to look," said Mr. Conductor.
03:40 "Splatter and Dodge are after us."
03:42 "Then you're going to have to guess," said Toby. "All right," said Thomas. "It's a guessing game."
03:47 Thomas riled around the bend. "We'll pick station number four," he said.
03:52 "All right," said Mr. Conductor.
03:54 And they were right. Station number four was wide open.
03:58 Thomas raced into the station.
04:09 There at the station were Gordon, James, and Henry.
04:12 They were waiting for their passengers to load.
04:15 Thomas rushed by. "Gordon," he said. "What's the matter?" asked Gordon.
04:19 "Look behind me. Then you'll see the major problem."
04:21 "What major problem?" said Gordon.
04:23 However, a couple seconds later, Splatter and Dodge rumbled through.
04:27 "Help!" called Thomas. "Gordon, come help me!"
04:30 Right on it, Thomas and Gordon thundered away.
04:37 Thomas raced down the line as fast as he could, waiting to the scrap yard.
04:41 Meanwhile, Gordon was neck and neck with Splatter and Dodge.
04:44 "Stop chasing Thomas," he said.
04:46 "Oh, we won't," said they. "That's sissy stuff. Sissy stuff, you better look right on the head."
04:52 And Gordon was diverted right into a siding.
04:55 "What does he mean?" asked Splatter and Dodge, but they soon found out.
04:59 Thomas raced through the scrap yard, and there was Percy.
05:04 Percy diverted quickly. Percy raced onto a siding that Thomas wasn't on.
05:08 "Block them! Block them!" he said.
05:10 "What does that mean?" asked Percy. "The diesels! Block them!"
05:14 Percy diverted. Percy pushed the trucks into a different siding this time.
05:19 Then there was trouble. Splatter and Dodge were confused.
05:25 "Oh dear," they said. "Left! Right! Up! Down! Frontwards! Backwards! Frontwards! Did I say that?"
05:32 "You think you did," said Dodge, "but that didn't matter."
05:36 Splatter went one way, and Dodge went the other.
05:39 Dodge hit the milk trucks so hard, they was bumped off the track.
05:45 Meanwhile, Splatter raced through the scrap shed, and there were the trucks.
05:51 He didn't stand a chance against them.
05:54 Splatter crashed hard right onto the trucks.
05:58 "Ouch!" said Splatter. "That hurt! Ooooooh! Ouch!"
06:03 Meanwhile, Thomas rounded the bend.
06:05 "Great job, Thomas and Mr. Conductor. If they're still after us, we should hide in that tunnel over there."
06:11 Thomas puffed into the tunnel. He suddenly coupled to something.
06:15 "What is it?" asked Mr. Conductor.
06:17 Thomas puffed out, and it was Lady.
06:19 "Lady, I thought you were hiding in the scrap yard."
06:21 "I was, but then I heard you guys coming. I decided to come in here so I wouldn't be seen."
06:26 "Great plan," said Mr. Conductor.
06:30 "Diesel 10, however, is going to be madder than ever, so we need to keep our eyes peeled.
06:34 Let's go prepare for when he comes to get us."
06:37 "You're right," they said, and all three of them puffed away.
06:40 Meanwhile, Workmen were coming out from their lunch to see what had happened.
06:50 "Wow!" they said. "This is quite an interesting picture. Two diesels smashed to pieces."
06:55 However, Dodge hid a milk tanker that was still rolling.
06:58 It rolled and rolled and rolled, hit the buffers, and disappeared.
07:02 "The magic buffers!" said Splatter and Dodge.
07:05 They were amazed. "This is where they are now. What do you guys mean?"
07:09 "Well, after Thomas and Lady went through the magic buffers, they went somewhere else.
07:15 This is where they are, I guess. Uh-oh, maybe they'll tell Diesel 10.
07:20 They won't get a chance to the Workmen. We have a plan."
07:22 "What do you mean?" asked Splatter and Dodge.
07:25 "Well, you see, here's what happened.
07:27 The Workmen told them the story of the two diesels that had planned to come to Sodor.
07:30 And so said the Workmen, Diesel 10 scrapped them outside the yard,
07:36 and if Mr. Topham Hatt realizes that the diesels haven't come, we're going to get in a lot of trouble."
07:41 "Oh, that doesn't sound good," said Splatter.
07:43 "No, it doesn't," said Dodge. "What are you guys going to do?"
07:46 "You guys are going to become our new diesels."
07:48 "What?" they said. "You mean, you're going to scrap us?" said Splatter.
07:52 "Yes, indeed," said the Workmen. "You guys look exactly like the diesels that were going to come."
07:57 "Oh, dear, please don't, please don't," they said. "We beg of you."
08:01 "Sorry," they said. "Other Workmen, get the melting pot fired up, and I'll go get the crane.
08:07 We have to scrap some engines. They're in lots of trouble."
08:11 "Uh-oh," said Splatter and Dodge. "This isn't going to be pretty."
08:15 And it wasn't.
