00:30But Thomas and Percy weren't really being very careful
00:36And some for you, Percy
00:41Thomas!
00:42Oh, what did I tell you?
00:46Look, a metal man
00:48A robot
00:49A robot?
00:51Silly tank engines
00:53That's not a robot
00:54It's a suit of armour
00:56Like a knight wears
00:58I hope you haven't damaged it
01:01I don't think we have
01:03It's moving
01:07It's alright, Percy
01:08It's only a suit of armour
01:11But who does it belong to?
01:14The end of the film
01:14The end of the film
02:06King of the Railway
02:11Long ago, before there were any railways, the island of Sodor was ruled by kings, and the greatest king of
02:19Sodor was King Godred.
02:24Godred was a well-loved king. He protected the island from invaders with the help of his gallant knights in
02:32armour.
02:35Life was good under Godred's reign. It was a golden age, and King Godred wore a golden crown.
02:45But one day, the crown was stolen. The thieves were eventually caught, but the crown had been hidden. It was
02:57never seen again.
03:01The ruins of King Godred's castle can still be found at Ulfstead, on the Earl of Sodor's estate.
03:10These days, instead of knights in shining armour, it's railway engines who charge above the island.
03:18Or, across to the mainland, via the rolling bridge at Vicarstown, that can be raised up like a castle drawbridge
03:28to let ships pass.
03:41One day, Thomas had been sent to the washdown with Annie and Clarabelle.
03:47But Thomas and his coaches weren't the only ones there.
03:51Why are we all being sent to the washdown today?
03:54Something must be happening. It must be a special day.
03:59I heard that Spencer was coming from the mainland.
04:03I hope we're not all having a wash for Spencer.
04:07I heard that he's bringing a very important passenger.
04:11James is right.
04:13We do have a special visitor today.
04:18My old friend, the Earl of Sodor, is coming home to the island after travelling the world for many years.
04:28Every engine and every station must look its best for his arrival.
04:36Thomas and his friends were very excited.
04:39They had never met the Earl before.
04:54All the engines and all the guests were waiting for Spencer to arrive with the Earl.
05:02Here they come!
05:12Ladies and gentlemen, engines and coaches, I give you Sir Robert Noramby, Earl of Sodor!
05:26Oh! A celebration! How splendid!
05:30Ha ha! We have gathered here, Sir Robert, to celebrate...
05:35No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! You carry on!
05:38I didn't mean to interrupt.
05:40And I promised Millie I'd be at the escape bike, too.
05:44Really?
05:45Enjoy your party! It sounds like great fun!
05:49Goodbye!
06:03Millie? Who's Millie?
06:05Don't ask me. I've never heard of her.
06:08Oh, dear. Sorry I'm late. Has the Earl arrived yet?
06:13Been and gone, Percy. Been and gone.
06:20The next morning, the Fat Controller sent Thomas to Brendam Docks to collect a shipment for the Earl.
06:31Goodbye, Cranky!
06:33See you later, Thomas. Don't go breaking any more crates now.
06:39Thomas climbed slowly up the steep slope to the Earl's estate.
06:59No taller, bigger, older!
07:03Ah-ha! My first shipment has arrived!
07:08Millie!
07:14Coming, sir!
07:21I thought I'd seen a steamy on its way up.
07:24Hello. Are you Millie?
07:27That's me!
07:28I run the estate railway for the Earl, and you must be Thomas.
07:33I am. But I don't remember seeing you before.
07:37That's hardly surprising.
07:39The Earl's been away for such a long time, and I've been stuck in my shed.
07:43But I'm out again now, Thomas, and ready to roll!
07:48Hold still, Millie! We're loading!
07:52Oh! Sorry, sir!
07:54Oh, no! That's the same crate I dropped at the docks.
07:58The one with the suit of armour in it.
08:01And very old and precious it is, too.
08:04Oh, but it's also rather strong, Thomas, so no harm done.
08:09Put the armour up here with me, boys.
08:12He can be my guard!
08:14He can be my guard!
08:16He can be my guard!
08:17He can be my guard!
08:17Thank you, Thomas!
08:20If only I had King Godred's golden crown.
08:25That's the one thing that's missing to complete my plan.
08:30Goodbye, Thomas!
08:32Goodbye!
08:34Thomas was left wondering about the Earl's plan and the King's golden crown.
08:43One evening, at the Vicarstown Rolling Bridge,
08:49a certain silver streamlined engine came back to the island.
08:56Spencer!
09:01Back so soon, the Earl has borrowed me again from the Duke and Duchess of Boxford
09:08to act as his private engine.
09:11Most engines have really useful work to do,
09:15such as pulling express trains or hauling heavy goods.
09:21Being a private engine is really useful, Gordon.
09:26Earl's and Dukes only appreciate the finest engines and the fastest.
09:32You're not the fastest, Spencer.
09:35I am.
09:36That's why I pull the express.
09:39I'm obviously faster than you are.
09:43Can't you see?
09:44I'm streamlined.
09:47Maybe you should have a race to prove it.
09:50I'd be delighted.
09:53So would I.
09:55First thing in the morning, shall we say?
09:59The next morning, Percy brought Gordon his coaches.
10:05Well, Spencer, I thought we were having a race.
10:09The express always leaves on time.
10:13Maybe he was scared you'd win.
10:16That sounds about right.
10:18Morning, Gordon.
10:20Shall we see who's the fastest then?
10:23Wait, that's not fair.
10:26Nobody said we were starting.
10:34Gordon hurried after Spencer.
10:40But it was hard to build up speed with four heavy coaches behind him.
10:56He was just catching up when Spencer pulled off the main line towards the Earl's estate.
11:03Where are you going?
11:06Where are you going?
11:06I nearly caught up with you.
11:08Never mind.
11:09I'm afraid I have to be really useful now.
11:13Perhaps we can have a proper race another day.
11:20Later that morning, Percy was shunting trucks at Brendan Dock's when he noticed an engine hiding behind some crates.
11:29Boom!
11:30I say, what was that for?
11:33Oh, I thought you were Thomas.
11:37What are you doing here, Spencer?
11:39Have you come to shunt trucks?
11:40I certainly have not.
11:43I brought the Earl here on important business with the dock manager.
11:48Oh, too bad.
11:50I thought they were making you a goods engine now, so you could be really useful.
11:57In the afternoon, Thomas met Spencer at the Blue Mountain Quarry.
12:03Hello, Spencer.
12:05Have you come to carry stone?
12:07Certainly not.
12:09I am on important business with the Earl.
12:12OK, Spencer, back up!
12:16You are pulling stone, Spencer.
12:19That is really useful.
12:23Oh, this is no job for a splendid engine like me.
12:29Earl's only appreciate the finest engines, remember?
12:36As Thomas watched Spencer go, he couldn't help wondering what the Earl wanted to do.
12:42The Earl wanted big blocks of stone.
12:45The other engines were curious, too.
12:49I heard he ordered rails and sleepers.
12:51He must be laying a new railway line.
12:53You don't need big blocks of stone to build a railway line, Percy.
12:58You do if you're building a bridge, Gordon.
13:01Or a new station.
13:03But why would he want a station at the estate, Hero?
13:06Hardly anybody goes there.
13:07Just then, Toby arrived with a very important message.
13:13Henry's broken down.
13:16Don't tell me he needs special coal again.
13:20No, Gordon.
13:21That was fixed years ago.
13:24He's burst his safety valve, and the Fat Controller wants Percy to pull his heavy goods train to the Earl's
13:33estate.
13:33Wait.
13:34Bust my buffers.
13:35I'm going to the Earl's estate.
13:37I will find out what he's really building.
13:41But Percy isn't strong enough to pull a heavy goods train, Toby.
13:45I'm only delivering the message.
13:50Percy arrived at Brendam Docks.
13:53Poor Henry was stuck on a siding with his broken safety valve.
13:58Percy was very excited.
14:01He had never pulled a long, heavy goods train before.
14:06Hello, James.
14:07Guess what?
14:08I'm going to the Earl's estate.
14:11The Fat Controller has asked me to take this heavy goods train there.
14:15Think again, Percy.
14:17The Fat Controller asked me to pull this train, not you.
14:21But Toby said I was to take it.
14:24Toby? Since when does he tell other engines what to do?
14:28Hello, everyone.
14:30The Fat Controller has sent me to take this heavy goods train to the Earl's estate.
14:34But he's already asked me.
14:37No, Percy.
14:38You said Toby asked you.
14:41James stubbornly backed into position to pull the long train.
14:47James, that's not fair.
14:50So Thomas and Percy pulled in front of him.
14:53Get out of the way.
14:55This is my train.
14:58No, James.
14:59The Fat Controller said...
15:01Hello, Percy, Thomas and James.
15:03I'm glad to see you're all ready to go.
15:07Ready to go, sir?
15:08Tell them to move, sir.
15:10They're blocking my way.
15:13Please, sir.
15:14Tell us who you'd like to pull this heavy goods train.
15:17Ha, ha.
15:18Why, all of you, of course.
15:20This train is much too heavy for any of you to pull alone.
15:24You'll have to work together.
15:26Together?
15:27Together.
15:28Together.
15:30So Percy, Thomas and James were all coupled to the trucks and off they went to the Earl's estate.
15:38Clankin' into the coupling, cargo ready to roll.
15:42James, Thomas and Percy, pull that load.
15:47Gotcha, gotcha, work harder, move that freight.
15:51Gotcha, gotcha, go faster, can't be late.
15:55Here we come, up the hill, there we go.
16:00Hey!
16:01Hey!
16:01Ha, ha, ha, hey!
16:04Rockin' together.
16:05Yeah, yeah, yeah!
16:07Rockin' and rollin', hey!
16:09Lifting and rollin', hey!
16:13On the island of Sodom.
16:15Hear the rumble and jump.
16:17Wheels bracken and growlin'
16:19The funnels pop
16:21Working through to the sunset
16:24Every day
16:25Trying hard to be useful
16:28Hey, hey, hey
16:30Here we come
16:32Up the hill
16:33There we go, what a thrill
16:35Hey, ha, ha, hey
16:38Rocking together
16:40Yeah, yeah
16:41Rocking and rolling
16:43Hey, lifting and loading
16:45Hey, help
16:48One another
16:49Yeah, yeah
16:50Pulling and pushing
16:52Ho, leaving and holding
16:54Friends are forever
16:57Yeah, yeah
17:00As the engines approached the Earl's estate
17:03They saw new rails
17:05And wooden sleepers
17:07Stone and building materials
17:10Then Thomas saw his old friend Jack the front loader
17:16Jack, what are you doing?
17:19Hello Thomas
17:20I'm helping the Earl with his new building project
17:23He's restoring Ulsterd Castle
17:26Fizzling fireboxes
17:29So that's what he's building
17:31Wow
17:32I'd better get back to my job
17:34There's still a lot of work to do
17:38The heavy goods train was split up
17:41James and Percy took the building materials
17:45While Thomas shunted the crates and containers onto a new siding
17:53Oh, hold on now
17:55That crate was meant to go to the steamworks, Thomas
17:58The steamworks?
18:00Oh
18:00But what is it, sir?
18:02Is it something for Victor?
18:04For Victor?
18:05Can I take it?
18:06Please, sir?
18:07Please?
18:08I can take it
18:09I think the Earl would prefer a splendid engine like me to take it, wouldn't you, sir?
18:16If you're all so curious, why don't we take it together?
18:21You don't need three engines to pull one flatbed
18:26Okay, James
18:27You can stay behind
18:28No!
18:30I want to come too!
18:31Wait for me!
18:35At the steamworks
18:36Victor was surprised to see Thomas, James and Percy
18:41Hello, my friends
18:43What is this thing in a crate that takes so many engines to deliver?
18:49We don't know what it is, Victor
18:50The Earl hasn't told us
18:52I love a good surprise
18:56Don't you?
18:59Take her up, boys!
19:06Wow!
19:07Now, meet my friend, Stephen
19:10Surprise!
19:14Hello, Stephen
19:16I've never seen an engine like you before
19:19You mean an engine with woodworm and rust holes?
19:23Nobody's seen me in a long time
19:25I haven't turned my wheels in years
19:28I'm not surprised
19:29You know, I think there's something wrong with your boiler
19:33And your funnel
19:35Not to mention your paintwork
19:37There's a bit of work to do
19:40But he's beautiful, isn't he?
19:44Well, he will be soon
19:45Don't worry, my friend
19:47We'll have him fixed up in no time
19:50Well, goodbye for now
19:52Goodbye!
19:53See you soon!
19:54See you later!
19:54Goodbye, Stephen!
19:56Sir, I was wondering
19:58Well, all the engines are wondering
20:01What is your plan?
20:04Why are you rebuilding the castle?
20:06And laying new tracks?
20:07And what's inside all your crates?
20:10Oh, all in good time, Thomas
20:12You'll find out soon enough
20:15It's all part of my big surprise
20:18What about Stephen, sir?
20:21Is he part of the big surprise, too?
20:23I have a special job for Stephen
20:26A very special job
20:28But it's best not to say anything to him just yet, Thomas
20:33There's a lot of work to do before he can start
20:37Okay, sir
20:39I won't say anything
20:41I promise
20:46That night, in Tidmouth Sheds
20:48Thomas, Percy and James told the other engines about Stephen
20:53What did he look like again?
20:56He had wood round his boiler and a crooked funnel
21:00And he looked like he'd been left in a scrapyard for a long time, too
21:04He's an old design, older than any engine I've ever seen
21:09I'd like to see him for myself
21:12So would I
21:15The next morning, Henry was still having trouble with his safety valve
21:21I can't build up any steam
21:24Don't worry, Henry, I'll shunt you to the steamworks
21:28Victor will have you fixed up in no time
21:34Emily was very happy to take Henry to the steamworks
21:38She wanted to see the old-fashioned engine
21:42But when she arrived, she couldn't see any engines at all
21:47Hello? Anybody here?
21:50Hello! Up here!
21:53Hello! I'm Emily
21:56Oh, and this is Henry
21:58I'm Stephen
21:59Pleased to meet you
22:01What are you doing up there?
22:03They're turning me into an aeroplane
22:06Really?
22:07No!
22:08They want to examine my undercarriage
22:10And they're repairing my wheels, too
22:15Emily wasn't the only engine who wanted to see Stephen
22:19Fizzling fireboxes
22:21What brings you all here?
22:23Do you all need repairs?
22:25Erm, that is...
22:28I came here to bring Henry, Victor
22:30He needs his safety valve mended
22:33Well, I was coughing soot from my funnel the other day
22:38My brakes feel a bit sticky, but...
22:41Actually, we all just came to see Stephen, Victor
22:45So did we!
22:48Did you really all come to see me?
22:51Yes, Stephen
22:52We've never seen an engine like you before
22:55Are you really very, very old?
22:59Stephen is one of the first steamies ever built
23:04Victor's right!
23:05I've been around a long time
23:07And I wasn't always this rusty, either
23:10I remember when most railways didn't have any engines
23:14And the trains were pulled by horses
23:20We steam engines were the latest thing
23:23And people were worried about us
23:25We didn't always work right
23:28Or at all
23:30We were brand new and experimental
23:33But we soon proved we were stronger and faster than horses
23:37And I was lightning fast
23:41Pew!
23:42They called me the Rocket
23:44We used to have races
23:47People would line the track to watch
23:50I went to work at the mines
23:53And later at the docks
23:56My pistons were pumping!
23:59I could pull four wagons at one time
24:03But engines have changed a little since then
24:06You new engines are so fast and so strong
24:11That's why I don't work anymore
24:13Did you ever see knights in shining armour?
24:16No!
24:17I may be old, but I'm not that old
24:20And before you ask
24:22I never saw dinosaurs either
24:24Oh, don't feel bad
24:30What's your name?
24:32I'm Percy
24:33Don't feel bad, Percy
24:35Asking questions is always a good way to learn new things
24:46Over the coming weeks
24:48Everyone at the steamworks worked hard
24:51To restore the old engine
24:57Thomas and his friends came by whenever they could
25:01They wanted to see how the work was progressing
25:11Soon Stephen looked shiny and new
25:15His funnel was straightened
25:17His boiler had been fixed
25:19And he'd been given his old tender
25:22A whistle
25:24And a fresh coat of paint
25:28Now you look greatly useful again
25:31I was wondering where you all were
25:36I have a railway to run
25:39And you all have work to do
25:41Yes, sir
25:42Sorry, sir
25:44Wait, Percy
25:45Thomas and James, too
25:48The Earl of Sodor asked me
25:51If you could help him with a special job
25:54I don't know what he's up to
25:56But he's an old friend
25:58I want to help him in any way I can
26:01Thank you, sir
26:02We'll do our best
26:03Thomas and his friends were very excited
26:07But Stephen looked a little sad
26:09You're so lucky, Thomas
26:12Being useful is very important
26:16Come on, Thomas
26:17We should go
26:18And then an idea flew into Thomas' funnel
26:24Maybe I should tell Stephen that the Earl has a job for him
26:28I don't think that's such a good idea, Thomas
26:31The Earl said not to tell him yet
26:33But he looked so sad
26:35I have to tell him
26:36Just to cheer him up
26:38James and Percy wondered if Thomas was doing the right thing
26:45But Stephen just laughed
26:47Are you sure about that, Thomas?
26:49I'm an antique
26:50Then why would the Earl send you to the steamworks to be repaired?
26:54I don't know, Thomas
26:55But I've seen people do all sorts of things that don't make any sense
26:59Or maybe he wants to make tea in my boiler
27:04No
27:05He has a proper job for you
27:07Does he?
27:08Yes
27:09You'll see, Stephen
27:10The Earl of Sodor is full of surprises
27:15Percy, Thomas and James climbed up the steep track to the estate
27:21The castle looked very different now that it was being restored
27:26Wow
27:26The castle looks amazing
27:29We've all been working hard to get it ready
27:33Has the Earl asked us here to take all this dirt away?
27:37That doesn't seem like such a special job
27:40That's not your special job, James
27:44Follow me!
27:46Hooray!
28:04Bobbling boilers!
28:10Cinders and dashes!
28:14Wow
28:30Percy, Thomas and James wondered what kind of special job the Earl had in mind for them
28:37At the steamworks, Henry's valve had finally been fixed
28:42He was ready to go back to his job
28:46Stephen was eager to find out about his job too
28:50Do you know what my new job is, Victor?
28:53Sorry, my friend
28:54I don't know anything about it
28:56How about you, Kevin?
28:58Kevin
28:58Sorry, Stephen
28:59I don't even know what your old job was
29:01Just be patient, my friend
29:04I'm sure someone will come and tell you what to do
29:07But Stephen wasn't feeling patient
29:11He was feeling excited
29:13I can't just sit around and do nothing
29:16I'm bursting with steam now
29:19I have to get up and go!
29:22Bye, Victor!
29:24Bye, Kevin!
29:25Bye, Kevin!
29:25Beep, beep!
29:27Stephen!
29:28Where are you going?
29:30So, like a brave knight of old
29:32Stephen set off on a quest
29:35To find his new job
29:42Percy, Thomas and James had already found their new job
29:46Helping the men to build a roof over part of the castle
29:50They were coupled to some flatbeds
29:52Which held a tall platform
29:54That was being used to raise the roof beams
30:00The engines would have to move it to the right place for each beam
30:05They'd never had a job like this before
30:08They would all have to work together
30:14Gordon was pulling the express
30:16When Spencer came up alongside him
30:20Hello, slow coach
30:21I'm back
30:25Racing again, are we, Gordon?
30:28Yes, we are
30:29And no slipping off onto a siding this time
30:32As if I'd do something like that
30:36Spencer tried to pull ahead
30:39But Gordon kept pace with him as they raced along
30:43Then there was trouble
30:48I'd say, look out!
30:50There was something on the track ahead of Gordon
30:53It was Stephen
31:02I win again, slow coach
31:05Oh, the dignity
31:07Hurry up, Stephen
31:09I thought you were the rocket
31:10Whoa, whoa, whoa
31:11Cool your pistons, big fella
31:13I'm going as fast as I can
31:16There was nothing Gordon could do
31:19He had to go slowly
31:24Back at the castle
31:26Thomas and his friends were working together again
31:36Easy, Percy
31:38Sorry, I didn't mean to wobble
31:41Calm down and pay attention
31:44You both need to pay attention
31:46Then there was trouble
31:49Thomas, stop!
32:01Luckily, no one was hurt
32:04Is everyone alright?
32:06I am
32:07I'm not
32:08My paintwork is covered in dust
32:11I need to go to the washdown
32:14You can't go to the washdown now, James
32:16We need to carry on with our work
32:19Or the castle won't be ready in time
32:21And I suppose my paintwork's not important
32:29Paxton and Diesel were very surprised to see Stephen turn up at Brendam Docks
32:36Who is that old-fashioned engine with the wooden boiler, Paxton?
32:41I don't know
32:43Shall I ask him?
32:45Don't bother
32:45Out of the way, little Steamy
32:48We have work to do here
32:50Well, so do I, Mr. Oily
32:55It's Mr. Oily
32:58Stephen's the name
32:59I'm looking for my new job
33:01Here?
33:03At Brendam Docks?
33:04Are you sure?
33:05This is no place for an old engine like you
33:08Cranky's right, old-timer
33:11Best keep out of the way
33:13And let the modern engines get on with their work
33:16Sorry, Stephen
33:18Nice to meet you
33:20Poor Stephen felt disappointed
33:23But if his new job wasn't at Brendam Docks
33:26He'd just have to continue on his quest to find it
33:32After the accident was cleared away
33:34Thomas and his friends worked hard to complete the roof
33:40At last, the final beam was put into place
33:44The job was done
33:46I am very proud of you
33:56You all worked marvellously together
34:00Soon everything will be ready for the big surprise
34:04I bet I know what it is
34:07Are you the king of Sodor, sir?
34:10No, Percy
34:11I'm not the king of Sodor
34:13Oh?
34:14Then what is the surprise?
34:18Come outside and I'll show you
34:22And then can I go to the washdown, sir?
34:25Of course you can, James
34:27Of course you can
34:31Stephen was heading up to the Blue Mountain Quarry
34:35There's always plenty of work for extra engines in a quarry
34:42But the Blue Mountain Quarry was much bigger
34:46And noisier
34:48Than any quarry Stephen had ever seen before
34:55Hello there
34:56Hello
34:57My name's Luke
34:59Who are you?
35:00I'm Stephen
35:01I'm looking for my new job
35:03Could it be here?
35:05Well, I'm not sure, really
35:07We can always use another engine
35:09But are you really strong enough for this kind of work?
35:13Strong?
35:15I used to pull four wagons at a time when I worked at the mines
35:19Give me a chance and you'll see
35:21I want to be really useful again
35:24Okay, then
35:25No harm in that
35:28Stephen was coupled to a long line of trucks
35:32Loaded with slate
35:33Take it away, Stephen
35:42But they were too heavy
35:45The men uncoupled one of the trucks
35:48And Stephen tried again
35:50And again
35:54And again
35:55And again
35:56Until Stephen finally managed to pull
35:59One truck forward
36:01There we go
36:03I told you I could do it
36:05Now watch how fast I can go
36:08Be careful on the corner, Stephen
36:10Look out!
36:11But it was too late
36:14As Stephen came to the bend
36:16The heavy truck pushed him forward
36:19And nearly ran him off the rails
36:28I'm sorry, Stephen
36:30You seem like a nice engine
36:32But turn
36:33I don't think there's a job for you here
36:35Oh, the wagons I pulled at the mines
36:38Weren't as heavy as the ones you have here
36:40They were a lot smaller, too
36:43Do you know of any mines around here?
36:45Oh, well, there used to be an old mine
36:47Near Alvstead Castle Ruins
36:49But, oh, I don't think anyone works there anymore
36:52Oh, maybe I'll take a look for myself
36:54Goodbye
36:57Stephen's quest to find his new job
37:00Was not over yet
37:03Back at the Earl's estate
37:05Thomas, James and Percy
37:07Were amazed to see what was inside the Earl's crates
37:12There were thrones and catapults
37:14Flags and tapestries
37:17Old statues
37:19Shields
37:20And suits of armour
37:22From all over the world
37:23Look, Thomas
37:25More metal men
37:28Thomas
37:29That one's moving
37:31It's alive
37:36I think you'll find it has a helping hand, Percy
37:40It's all part of my big surprise
37:44I am reopening Alvstead Castle to the public
37:50Visitors will come from far and wide
37:53To see my collection of medieval treasures
37:56And the king's golden crown?
37:58Ah, no, Thomas
38:01Sadly, the only thing missing
38:04Is King Godred's golden crown
38:06But guess what, Thomas
38:08Your friend Stephen is going to be the castle's guide
38:12Oh, that's right
38:14You can tell Stephen about his new job now
38:16If you want to, Thomas
38:18And can I go to the washdown now?
38:20Oh, yes, James
38:23Of course you can
38:29Oh, bother
38:31I still need you three to take all those troublesome trucks away
38:39Hero was very happy to be coming back to Sodor from the mainland
38:43When?
38:48Oh, my
38:50James was very happy to be having a washdown
38:54When?
38:58What was that?
39:02Gordon and Spencer were very happy to be racing each other again
39:06When?
39:09Who was that?
39:11Don't ask me
39:12I've never seen
39:14The two speedy engines were waiting at a red signal
39:23They were both streamlined like Spencer
39:27Hello there
39:28I'm Connor
39:29And I'm Caitlin
39:30We've come for the opening of Ulfstead Castle
39:32To bring passengers from the mainland
39:34This is our test run and time trial
39:36We're having a little race
39:38Care to join us?
39:40Oh, well
39:41I have to get back to Knapford, actually
39:44Yes
39:44I'm afraid I have work to do, too
39:47We never race
39:49No
39:50We're far too busy for racing
39:54Suit yourselves
40:00Stephen was on the slope below the castle
40:03When he noticed the track to the old mine
40:08Right
40:09This may well be my last chance
40:12Best try to make a good show of myself
40:15Stephen made his way along the overgrown track
40:33But when he finally reached the entrance to the mine
40:37He found it was boarded up
40:41It's true
40:43Nobody works here anymore
40:45Oh, Thomas was wrong
40:48There isn't a job for me anywhere
40:51I'm too slow, old and weak
41:03Thomas and Percy were ready to push the troublesome trucks loaded with dirt away
41:08The Earl thought they were too heavy for two small engines alone
41:12I must call Sir Topham
41:14I'll ask him to send James back to help
41:18But Thomas didn't want to wait for James to come back
41:21I'm sure Percy and I can manage, sir
41:24He wanted to tell Stephen all about his new job
41:30Hold on, Thomas
41:31Shouldn't one of us be at the front?
41:33What happens when we get to the top of the slope?
41:36But it was too late
41:37The troublesome trucks were already on the slope
41:40They started to pull forward
41:42Dragging Thomas and Percy behind them
41:47CINDERS AND DASHES
41:49CINDERS AND DASHES
41:49CINDERS AND DASHES
41:49CINDERS AND DASHES
41:51The troublesome trucks were too heavy to stop
41:54CINDERS AND DASHES
42:15PERCY
42:15That was a close call
42:17Thomas and Percy pulled the heavy trucks back again
42:22Feeling very relieved
42:26They didn't realise that poor Stephen was now trapped in the mine
42:41The island of Sodor was buzzing with excitement about the grand opening of Hofstead castle.
42:51Visitors were hurrying across from the mainland to be there, all the engines were working
42:59hard to make sure everything was ready.
43:05Thomas went to the Steamworks to find Stephen.
43:09Hello Victor, where's Stephen?
43:12I don't know Thomas.
43:13He left in quite a hurry.
43:15He kept asking about his new job.
43:18His new job?
43:19He didn't even know what it was.
43:22Where could he have gone?
43:24Thomas was worried about Stephen, and when he told James and Percy, they were worried
43:31too.
43:32See Thomas, the Earl warned you not to say anything to Stephen.
43:37Now look what's happened.
43:38Nothing's happened.
43:40We'll find him.
43:41So Thomas, James and Percy set off to find Stephen.
43:46They asked everyone they met if they'd seen him.
43:50Sorry Percy, I honestly can't say I've seen him.
43:54I don't think he came to the castle.
43:57That old-fashioned engine, yeah, he was here, James.
44:02Diesel had to tell him to keep out of the way.
44:06He seemed like a nice engine, Thomas, but the trucks were too heavy for him.
44:12Nobody knew where Stephen was, and it was starting to get dark.
44:26Be on the lookout for Stephen!
44:29I mean me!
44:31Help!
44:32Beep! Beep!
44:33Beep!
44:34Oh, looks like I'll have to find my own way out of here, before I run out of steam.
44:53Stephen raced around the old mine, but he couldn't find another way out.
45:01Then, as he hurried round a bend, he bashed into some rocks.
45:08It started a rockslide.
45:14Back at Tidmouth Sheds, Thomas told the other engines that Stephen was missing.
45:21He couldn't have gone very far, Thomas.
45:24But he might be in danger.
45:26Well, you shouldn't have told him he had a job when he didn't.
45:30But Stephen does have a job to do for the Earl.
45:33We all have to find him and make sure he's safe.
45:41As the dust cleared, Stephen saw an old wooden chest amongst the fallen rocks.
45:49I'll just push it out of the way.
45:56Wobbling wagons!
45:59The next morning, Thomas woke all the engines up early.
46:04He had only one thing on his mind.
46:08Come on, steamies!
46:10Get those boilers bubbling!
46:12We need to find our friend Stephen!
46:15Thomas!
46:17James!
46:17Percy!
46:18Where are you all going?
46:20Sorry, sir, but the Earl of Sodal's new engine, Stephen, has gone missing.
46:25We have to find him.
46:29Has anyone seen Stephen?
46:32Victor says he left the steamworks and hasn't come back.
46:35I need him for the opening of Ulfstead Castle.
46:38Tomorrow!
46:40Oh, I say.
46:41Please, sir, may Percy James and I help with the search.
46:45Very well, Thomas.
46:46I shall assign your jobs to other engines.
46:49Thank you, sir.
46:51Oh, yes.
46:52Thank you, Sir Topham.
46:54And I shall also alert the Sodor Search and Rescue Centre.
47:06Stephen!
47:07Stephen!
47:09Stephen!
47:11When you can't find something special, and you keep on looking around, try to stay really cheerful, but you can't
47:22help feeling down.
47:24That's when you need a friend to help you harden up your day, someone to look and find a clue
47:33to help you on your way.
47:36Hey, search it everywhere.
47:40Up, down, left, right, look over there.
47:44Stephen!
47:45Stephen!
47:50All the engines working together, looking around to see what they find.
47:56Every day, whatever the weather, help you look down every line.
48:03So when you're feeling down and out, don't you ever give up.
48:09That's when you need your friends about to take you to the top.
48:16Search it!
48:16Search it everywhere!
48:19Up, down, left, right, look over there.
48:22Search it!
48:23Search it everywhere!
48:25Under, over, up in the air.
48:28Search it everywhere!
48:33They searched every shunting yard, station, and tunnel.
48:39There was no sign of Stephen anywhere.
48:46Got to keep puffing.
48:49Poor Stephen was running out of steam.
48:54Oh, I don't believe it!
48:57I've turned round in a loop!
48:59This is the tunnel I came down at the start!
49:03Wheel turn by wheel turn.
49:05He tried to keep going, but I can't move another inch!
49:15Wait, Thomas!
49:17Maybe we should check down there.
49:19We know Stephen's not there, Percy.
49:22That's the track to the old mine.
49:24We went down there when the troublesome trucks ran away.
49:27Maybe we should check anyway, Thomas.
49:30Just in case.
49:31Okay, Percy, I'll go.
49:33You check round the quarry again.
49:35Don't worry, Thomas.
49:37We'll find Stephen.
49:39Thomas pushed his way along the overgrown track.
49:44Stephen!
49:45Stephen!
49:49The last section of track was weak, where the wooden supports had lotted away.
49:57Then Thomas came to the end of the line, where the entrance to the mine was blocked by the stones.
50:04I knew he wasn't down here.
50:06He was about to leave again when he noticed something down below the track.
50:13It's Stephen's funnel!
50:14Stephen!
50:16Stephen!
50:18Stephen!
50:20Thomas?
50:22Stephen tried to whistle, but nothing came out.
50:26His boiler was almost dry.
50:29It's no use.
50:31Stephen's not here.
50:33That probably isn't even his funnel.
50:36Stephen tried to whistle again.
50:39He summoned all his energy, and...
50:44Cinders and dashes!
50:46He is here!
50:47Don't worry, Stephen.
50:49I'm coming to rescue you.
50:51But I need help to move all these rocks.
50:55As quick as his pistons could pump, Thomas hurried to Ulfstead Castle to fetch help.
51:02Jack!
51:03Jack!
51:04Huh?
51:04What is it, Thomas?
51:06Then he raced back to the old mine, with Jack.
51:17Stephen!
51:18I'm back, and I've brought my friend Jack.
51:21He's a front loader.
51:23We're going to get you out of there, Stephen.
51:27But Stephen didn't answer.
51:29This is a job for Jack!
51:32Don't worry, Thomas.
51:34I'll get this entrance cleared for you.
51:40As soon as the entrance was cleared, Thomas rushed forward.
51:45Careful, Thomas!
51:46The weak track shifted under his weight, but Thomas moved bravely over it and into the mine.
51:54Stephen!
51:55Stephen!
51:57Thomas!
51:58I thought you'd forgotten me.
52:01You're safe now, Stephen.
52:03I've come to get you out of here.
52:05Really?
52:06I was thinking of taking up mining.
52:09I can't even find my way out of a tunnel.
52:12I'm afraid you were wrong, Thomas.
52:15I'm not really useful anymore.
52:17Nonsense!
52:18The Earl has a job for you, Stephen.
52:21Working on his estate.
52:23A job for an old-fashioned engine like me?
52:26Are you sure?
52:27Yes!
52:28He's restored Ulfstead Castle.
52:31You're going to work there, showing guests around.
52:33You'll be the Earl's new knight in shining armor.
52:38Will I?
52:39Wow!
52:40Oh, thank you for rescuing me.
52:42I wouldn't be much use as a knight if I were stuck in an old mine.
52:48Stephen!
52:49Stephen!
52:49Hooray!
52:51By this time, the news of Stephen's rescue had spread.
52:55You haven't all come to see me again, have you?
52:58Of course we have.
53:00You are a very important engine.
53:03We need to get you ready for the big day tomorrow.
53:07What did I tell you?
53:09PHONE RINGS
53:11Oh, sir, I've found a big wooden chest.
53:15Inside...
53:16Whoa!
53:17Whoa!
53:18Careful!
53:19Look out!
53:20The track is deloiting!
53:22I'm slipping!
53:23Brace the track!
53:24You need to brace the track!
53:26I'm coming, Thomas!
53:30Who's from there?
53:31Jack!
53:32Send us and dashes!
53:33Quickly, Thomas!
53:35Pull us back!
53:37He can't hold it for long!
53:42That's it!
53:44Hurrah!
53:45Well done!
53:47You!
53:48Bravo, Jack!
53:50Bravo, Thomas!
53:52Now, we must all get ready.
53:55Tomorrow is going to be a really special day.
54:06The next day was the opening of Ofsted Castle.
54:11Guests came from all over the island and the mainland as well.
54:16You!
54:19You!
54:33You!
54:33See, Thomas?
54:34The metal man really is alive.
54:37He's waving.
54:39Ha-ha!
54:39Don't be silly, Percy.
54:41A suit of armor can't wave.
54:43Huh!
54:44What?
54:46Ta-da!
54:48Ha-ha!
54:49Ha-ha!
54:50Well, not all by itself.
54:52Ha-ha-ha!
54:52Ladies and gentlemen, engines and coaches, I'd like to welcome you all to Ofsted Castle!
55:07There is still work to do, but I hope to be able to restore King Godred's castle and grounds to
55:14their full former glory.
55:16And now, let me introduce my special steam engine, Stephen!
55:24Hurrah!
55:26You'll find that Stephen is an expert on history, having seen quite a lot of it himself.
55:33And along with Millie, he'll be more than happy to show you around Ofsted Castle and the estate.
55:43Not only that, Stephen is responsible for finding something I thought was lost forever.
55:53King Godred's golden crown!
56:05I'm sorry, Stephen.
56:07If I hadn't said anything about your job, you would never have wandered off and got trapped in the mine.
56:12If it wasn't for you, I would still be trapped in there.
56:16And if I wasn't in the mine, I would never have found the king's crown.
56:21Ladies and gentlemen, in days of old, the knights of Sodor would race between the island's castles.
56:30Today, we propose to race two of our own shining knights in armour, Connor and Caitlyn!
56:41Hey, Spencer and Gordon, why don't you race too?
56:45Come on, you'll love it!
56:46Aha! That's a splendid idea! Only if Sir Topham agrees, of course.
56:55Well, since we are celebrating a special occasion, maybe just this once.
57:09Knights in shining armour! On your marks, get set, go!
57:16Yeah!
57:18Hello!
57:19Lock a roll, click back, steaming down the track.
57:23The fun just never ends.
57:26Every day's a good, good day.
57:29For Thomas and his friends.
57:33Steady, steady, steady, everybody's getting ready.
57:36The Steam Team leads the way.
57:38It's a very special day!
57:41Hey!
57:41It's getting better and better!
57:44Now everybody say, hey!
57:48Hey!
57:48Hey!
57:48It's gonna be a great day!
58:05Hey!
58:14That's right!
58:16And better
58:18Now everybody say
58:20Hey
58:21It's gonna be a great day
58:36Wish, wish, woo, woo
58:38They know what they have to do
58:40They are a useful crew
58:42It's a very special day
58:43It's getting better and better
58:47Now everybody say
58:50Hey
58:51It's gonna be a great day
58:53Now it's a very special day
58:57It's getting better and better
59:00Now everybody say
59:03Hey
59:04It's gonna be a great day
59:08It's a very special day
59:10It's getting better and better
59:14Now everybody say
59:16Hey
59:18It's gonna be a great day
59:21It's gonna be a great day
59:24Thank you
59:35It's gonna be a great day
