00:26To be continued...
00:42Hero of the Rails
00:44It was summer on Sodor.
00:48The sky was bright blue, the fields were full of flowers, and the birds sang sweetly.
00:56As Thomas filled up with water, he felt very happy.
01:02Suddenly there was a whoosh and a weesh and a clackety-clack as a streak of silver roared by on
01:09the track.
01:10Fizzling fireboxes! What was that?
01:12All over Sodor, Thomas' friends were buffeted and blasted on their track.
01:19Bubbling boilers!
01:22Lost my buffers!
01:25Watch my pipe work!
01:31Trembling tracks! Who was that?
01:36Oh my gosh!
01:39Slow down, Speedy!
01:44Rail Raider!
01:48Later, Thomas and his friends were at Knapford.
01:51They were very puzzled.
01:54He was big!
01:55He was silver.
01:57He was very, very fast.
01:59That must mean it's...
02:03Semenharp!
02:04Hello, Sodor!
02:06What do you know?
02:08I'm here for the summer!
02:10Why?
02:10I have a very important job to do.
02:14The Duke and Duchess of Boxford are having a new summer house built.
02:18It has to be finished in time for the Duke and Duchess's holiday.
02:22I'm very busy.
02:23No time to chat.
02:24And Spencer steamed smugly away.
02:28Cinders and ashes!
02:30Having Speedy Spencer on Sodor for one day is bad.
02:33But for the whole summer...
02:36Is terrible!
02:38That afternoon, Thomas and Percy were huffing and puffing up Gordon's hill.
02:44Then they heard Spencer whooshing and wishing behind them.
02:49A little more puff and you might make it to the top by tea time.
02:55Bossy boiler!
02:57Next, Spencer caught up with Gordon.
03:01Out of my way, slow coach!
03:04Oh, the indignity!
03:08Tobey was huffing slowly to a junction.
03:11Spencer steamed alongside, hooting and tooting.
03:16It looks like you're too old now to be really useful, Tobey.
03:25Tobey gasped.
03:27He was upset.
03:29He missed his green light.
03:32Edward and James were chuffing cheerfully along.
03:37Spencer slowed.
03:39Dear, oh, dear.
03:40It takes two old engines to pull one truck, does it?
03:44I'm pulling five.
03:46And Spencer thundered away.
03:50James was so cross, he couldn't puff at all.
03:54That night, the engines could only talk about Spencer.
03:59He told Tobey he was too old.
04:02He's taken over my express line.
04:05He'll never have a shiny coat like mine.
04:08He'll never have manners.
04:10Spencer's scary.
04:15The next day, Thomas was at Brendam Docks.
04:19He had a heavy flatbed of machinery to collect.
04:22Spencer was there.
04:24He was being coupled up to five flatbeds of building materials.
04:29Dear, oh, dear, Thomas.
04:31It's just as well the Duke and Duchess don't have a tiny toy tank engine like you.
04:36The summer house would never be finished.
04:39What do you mean?
04:41I mean, Thomas, you just can't pull heavy loads.
04:45Thomas was upset.
04:47And so were the other engines.
04:49This time, Spencer had gone too far.
04:52Yes, I can.
04:54I can pull just as heavy loads as you.
04:56Yes, he can.
04:57Even heavier.
04:59Thomas is not a toy.
05:01He's a really useful engine.
05:05And he's very strong.
05:06The Sodor engines didn't scare Spencer.
05:10An idea had bubbled in his boiler.
05:13Very well, Thomas.
05:15Meet me tomorrow at dawn at the shunting yards.
05:19We will have a contest of strength.
05:22We will each pull a heavy load and we'll see who can pull it for longer and for further.
05:28Spencer slid slyly out of the docks.
05:32Suddenly, Thomas felt very worried.
05:36Bust my buffers.
05:38Bust my buffers.
05:38I can't do this.
05:39Spencer will win a contest of strength.
05:41The other engines saw that their friend was worried.
05:44You're the number one engine on Sodor and you'll show Spencer that Sodor engines are more special than he is.
05:52I know that because you're my best friend.
05:56Thomas looked at his best friend Percy.
05:59Percy believed in him.
06:01I will meet Spencer at dawn and I will win.
06:07Early the next morning, in the cold light of dawn, Thomas and his friends waited for Spencer.
06:15They could see a streak of silver engine puffing towards them.
06:20It was Spencer.
06:22Thomas felt worried.
06:24I can't do this, Percy.
06:27Yes, you can, Thomas.
06:28You always tell us we can do whatever we want to.
06:32So can you.
06:35The tracks were cleared for Spencer and Thomas and both engines were coupled up to their heavy loads.
06:42Edward puffed forward.
06:44You will each take different tracks round the island.
06:48You may only stop for coal and water.
06:51Then Edward whistled long and hard.
06:56The contest had begun.
06:58Spencer and Thomas pumped their pistons.
07:01Thomas puffed off with a heave and a huff.
07:05I can do it.
07:06I'll puff for longer.
07:07I'll show Spencer I really am stronger.
07:11Spencer smiled as he slid away.
07:14I'll show Thomas who's strong and who's weak.
07:17He'll puff home with a squeak and a creak.
07:20The other engines watched and worried.
07:24Then they blew their whistles long and strong.
07:27Good luck, Thomas!
07:30Thomas and Spencer puffed round the island.
07:33They clickety-clacked along the tracks.
07:36They whooshed through woods.
07:38And they huffed up hills.
07:40Spencer steamed and smiled.
07:43He raced and he roared.
07:45Thomas puffed and huffed.
07:47He heaved and he hauled.
07:49Silly little engine.
07:51When will he learn?
07:53You can do whatever you want to.
07:56And I want to win.
07:59Thomas was huffing up a steep slope.
08:02He was puffing and panting and his axles ached.
08:06At last he reached the top.
08:09Hooray!
08:10I did it!
08:11Then there was trouble.
08:13There was a clang and a prang.
08:16Thomas gasped.
08:18Cinders and dashes!
08:19I've broken my brakes!
08:21Thomas' wings started to whirr and to wobble.
08:25He flew faster and faster down the hill.
08:28Oh, no!
08:29Oh, help!
08:31Thomas raced down one hill and rattled up the next.
08:35Help!
08:36I can't stop!
08:37Thomas' heavy trucks pushed him on and on through a junction where Spencer was waiting.
08:44Blistering boilers!
08:46And into some potato trucks.
08:48Potatoes bounced everywhere.
08:50But Thomas sped on into a flatbed of jam barrels.
08:56Sticky jam flew in the air and landed all over Thomas.
09:01But still he went on and found himself rolling along an old rickety track.
09:07Ahead, Thomas could see a thick wall of bushes.
09:11Fenders and funnels!
09:12How can I stop?
09:13With a scrunch and a crunch, Thomas crashed into the bushes and came to a stop.
09:20Blaming fireboxes?
09:22That was scary!
09:24Thomas looked around.
09:26After the racing and rattling, it was very quiet.
09:30Spencer will be back at the shunting yards now.
09:33He'll be puffing with pride because he won the contest.
09:36And my best friend Percy will be wondering where I am.
09:42I don't know where I am.
09:45Everything was very quiet.
09:48Thomas didn't know what to do.
09:51Then he heard a voice.
09:54Hello?
09:56Thomas looked around.
09:58There was no one there.
10:00He waited, hardly daring to puff.
10:03Hello?
10:04Thomas looked around again.
10:07He couldn't see anyone.
10:09The voice seems to be coming from the bushes.
10:13Very slowly, Thomas chuffed forward into the bushes.
10:18The branches crackled and crunched.
10:22Then Thomas gasped.
10:24His eyes popped wide with wonder.
10:28There, on the other side of the bushes, was a very old engine.
10:33It was broken and rusty.
10:36Thomas felt scared.
10:37He didn't dare speak.
10:39Then, the old engine smiled at him.
10:43It was a little frightened smile, but it made the old engine look kind and gentle.
10:50And it made Thomas feel less scared.
10:53Hello?
10:55Too bad your brakes failed.
10:57Doesn't that always happen when you're on a hill?
11:01The old engine smiled again.
11:04Thomas wanted to smile too, but he was scared.
11:07He didn't know whether to speak, toot for help, or race backwards as fast as he could chuff.
11:13But Thomas didn't move.
11:16He couldn't take his eyes off this extraordinary engine.
11:21Hello.
11:21My name is Thomas.
11:24Ah, my name is Hiro.
11:27Thomas wasn't sure what to say next.
11:30He had never met an engine as old and strange as Hiro.
11:35Why are you here?
11:36Where have you been?
11:37Ah, that's a very long story.
11:41Do you like stories, Thomas?
11:44Yes.
11:45The little engines in the hills tell me stories all the time.
11:49Then, I hope you will like mine.
11:52I came here a long, long time ago from another island.
11:57I was one of the first steam engines to arrive on Sodor.
12:02Thomas was amazed.
12:05Where is your island?
12:07My island is a long, long way away.
12:11There are mountains and snow and sea.
12:15There are lots of railways.
12:17I was the strongest engine at home.
12:20I was called Master of the Railway.
12:24How did you get to Sodor?
12:27I came in a very big ship.
12:30The journey lasted many days and we sailed many seas.
12:35When I arrived at the docks, it didn't look at all like home.
12:40What was Sodor like then?
12:43It was very quiet.
12:45I was the only engine on Sodor.
12:48They called me Master of the Railway here too.
12:53I was very happy.
12:56I was very happy.
12:56What happened?
12:58I started to break down.
13:01The mechanics didn't have parts for me, so I was put in a siding.
13:08I had to wait for parts for my island.
13:11I waited and waited.
13:14And now I'm sure the parts will never come.
13:19Thomas' eyes were wide with wonder.
13:23Do you miss your home?
13:25Yes, I do.
13:27I miss being Master of the Railway.
13:31Thomas looked at his sad new friend.
13:34He felt sorry for Hero.
13:36I know.
13:37I'll go and get the Fat Controller.
13:39The Fat Controller runs our railway now.
13:42He'll know how to help you.
13:43No, no.
13:45Please don't do that.
13:46You must not tell the Fat Controller.
13:48Thomas was surprised.
13:51Why?
13:52I'm an old engine that cannot be repaired.
13:56I know what happens to old engines that cannot be really useful.
14:03They are scrapped and sent to the smelter's yard.
14:08That's not fair.
14:10That's not right.
14:12That can't happen to you.
14:14Thomas could see that his new friend,
14:17who was once Master of the Railway,
14:20was now old, alone, and scared.
14:24So Thomas made a decision.
14:26I will look after you, Hero.
14:28I won't tell the Fat Controller until you are fixed.
14:31You are safe with me.
14:33I'm sure I can find the parts to fix you.
14:36I promise I will make you a really useful engine once more.
14:40I will make you Master of the Railway again.
14:44Hero smiled the biggest smile he had smiled in a long, long time.
14:50Thank you, Thomas.
14:52Thank you for looking after me.
14:54Thomas puffed with pride.
14:59Later that morning, Thomas was at the Sodor Steamworks.
15:03He was having his brakes fixed.
15:06Thomas liked the Steamworks.
15:08There was hustle and bustle, sparks and spanners.
15:13It was lively and friendly.
15:15And there was Victor.
15:17Thomas liked Victor.
15:19Thomas, tell me, my friend, what were you doing there in the middle of nowhere,
15:24pulling seven loaded flatbeds?
15:26Are you crazy?
15:28Next time Spencer tells you to do something silly, do me a favor, will you?
15:32Say no.
15:33Okay, Victor.
15:35Thomas had almost forgotten about the contest with Spencer.
15:39His boiler was bubbling with excitement over Hero.
15:43He wanted to tell Victor, but he knew he couldn't.
15:45Other engines might hear, and then someone might tell the Fat Controller.
15:51So, there you are, Thomas.
15:52Broken down, I see.
15:54Seven flatbeds must have just been too heavy for you.
15:58Good morning, Spencer.
15:59Well done.
16:01Spencer was amazed.
16:03He wasn't expecting Thomas to be cheery.
16:06Er, what did you say?
16:08I said, good morning, and well done.
16:12I... I...
16:14Do you have a job to do, Spencer?
16:15Or are you just going to stand here chatting?
16:18You're taking up a lot of track.
16:21Spencer was shocked.
16:23No one speaks of me like that.
16:26Then, Spencer slid away, steering.
16:29I can't, I can't believe that.
16:32He's all silver steam and bossy boiler, that one.
16:37Thomas laughed.
16:38He liked Victor.
16:40Okay, my friend.
16:41You're all fixed.
16:42Please stay away from Mr. Silver's team.
16:45The Fat Controller needs you on your branch line.
16:49Thank you, Victor.
16:51Sorry, boss.
16:52Oh, Kevin.
16:54What are you doing?
16:55How many times do I have to tell you?
16:58You don't drop things, you lower things.
17:01Slowly.
17:02Slowly.
17:03Slowly.
17:04Gently.
17:05Gently.
17:06Yes, boss.
17:07Sorry, boss.
17:08I was trying, boss.
17:09Just to slip of me hook.
17:11Behind Kevin, Thomas saw something very interesting.
17:15A wagon with an old piston cylinder on it.
17:19That would be good for Hero.
17:21I wonder if Victor would let me have it.
17:23Thomas puffed away excited.
17:28That afternoon, Thomas was busy on his branch line.
17:32He wanted to finish his jobs as fast as he could puff.
17:36Tell me all about the contest, Thomas.
17:38I'm sorry, Percy.
17:40I can't stop.
17:41I've so much to do.
17:42I'll tell you all about it later.
17:44Percy was disappointed.
17:46Bye then, Thomas.
17:50Later, Thomas puffed back to the Sodor Steamworks.
17:54He was pleased to see it was very quiet.
17:59What's going to happen to that old cylinder, Victor?
18:02That heap of old junk.
18:04It's just digging up space.
18:06Shall I take it away for you?
18:08Aren't you too busy, my friend?
18:10No, I can take it easily.
18:13Would you like an open hook?
18:15No, thank you, Kevin.
18:16So Thomas was coupled up to the flatbed.
18:20And he chuffed cheerfully along towards the track that led to Hero.
18:25Then he heard the clatter of wheels and pounding pistons of a big engine behind him.
18:32It's Spencer!
18:34I don't want him to see me.
18:35He'll wonder what I'm doing with this old cylinder.
18:38Thomas huffed and puffed as fast as he could towards a siding.
18:42His boiler bubbled as he slowed to a stop.
18:45Tall trees hid Thomas from the main line.
18:49Spencer's rattle and roar came closer and closer as he rolled by.
18:55Then Spencer stopped and reversed.
18:58He was on the other side of the trees to Thomas.
19:02Thomas hardly dared puff.
19:05Hmm.
19:10Bust my buffers!
19:12That was close!
19:17Hero was very happy to see Thomas.
19:22Thomas's driver and fireman unloaded the old cylinder.
19:27Tomorrow, Hero, I'll come back and we can start work.
19:30I have to go back to Tidmouth Sheds now.
19:33The other engines will be wondering where I am.
19:34Thank you, Thomas.
19:37Thomas smiled and steamed quickly away and puffed back towards Tidmouth.
19:43He chuffed round a bend.
19:46Then he gasped.
19:49Cinders and ashes!
19:51The Duke and Duchess of Boxford's summer house is very close to Hero's hiding place.
19:57Spencer will be here every day.
19:59If Spencer finds out about Hero, he'll tell the Fat Controller.
20:04And then Hero is sure to be scrapped.
20:07I must be very, very careful.
20:14That night, Thomas told his friends all about his contest with Spencer.
20:21He was going to tell them about Hero, but the Fat Controller arrived.
20:29Tomorrow, you will all have a very busy day.
20:33Your jobs will start especially early.
20:37So, Thomas, don't puff round the island pulling heavy loads or any other silly ideas.
20:44I need really useful engines, not really broken ones.
20:50Yes, sir.
20:51Now, Thomas didn't dare tell his friends about Hero.
20:56The Fat Controller had spoken.
20:58No broken engines.
21:02The next day, Thomas had a very busy morning.
21:06But he wasn't happy.
21:08He wanted to be with Hero.
21:10Just then, Percy puffed up.
21:14You look worried, Thomas.
21:15What's the matter?
21:17Thomas looked at his best friend.
21:20He always told Percy everything.
21:22I found the oldest engine on Sodor.
21:26His name is Hero.
21:29First, my buffers.
21:30Where?
21:32I'll show you later.
21:33I promise.
21:34He needs us to look after him.
21:36Will you help me?
21:38Of course I will, Thomas.
21:40What can I do?
21:41Please, will you take this flatbed of farm machinery to farm on the coal for me?
21:45But what shall I do with my mail trucks?
21:48Leave them somewhere safe.
21:51Somewhere right off the track.
21:52Later you can deliver the mail.
21:54Now, I must travel away to Hero as quickly as I can.
21:58Percy was excited.
22:00He was happy to help Thomas.
22:03Percy had puffed a long way.
22:06He was on tracks he didn't know.
22:09He was looking for somewhere to hide his mail trucks.
22:13Must find somewhere right off the track.
22:16My trucks must be safe until I get back.
22:23This is the perfect place to leave my trucks.
22:26No one will find them here.
22:34Thomas huffed happily towards Hero's hideout.
22:37He was so busy thinking about helping Hero that he didn't see Spencer steaming up behind him.
22:45What are you doing here, Thomas?
22:48You're a long way away from your branch line.
22:51I'm on my way to...
22:54Friend of Dogs.
22:55Thomas raced away from Spencer and the summer house as quickly as his pistons would pump.
23:01This is very strange.
23:04Very strange indeed.
23:07Thomas didn't dare chuff to Hero until much later.
23:13I thought you weren't coming, Thomas.
23:17I told you, Hero. I'm not going to let you down.
23:21Then, Thomas' driver and fireman opened their toolboxes and started work.
23:30Soon, Hero's piston rods were in place.
23:33I'll come back with more parts for you, Hero.
23:37Thank you, Thomas.
23:39Please don't get into trouble for me.
23:42I'm an old engine.
23:44And I will make you new again.
23:47Bye, Hero.
23:50Thomas was puffing home as fast as his pistons could pump.
23:55He was late.
23:56He had to puff past the summer house.
23:59Thomas?
24:00You're up to something, aren't you?
24:04Thomas didn't answer.
24:05He chuffed quickly away.
24:08Spencer followed, close behind.
24:11Thomas was puffing fast.
24:13Then, he saw Percy at the water tower.
24:17Percy looked sad.
24:18I popped her valve when I was pulling the heavy farm machinery.
24:23Thomas felt sorry for his friend.
24:26Spencer had followed Thomas.
24:28He steamed to a stop.
24:31Dear, oh dear, Percy.
24:33You should let a stronger engine pull the heavy load.
24:36Spencer chuffed on.
24:39I'm sorry, Percy.
24:41You were helping me.
24:42Now you've broken down.
24:44I'm worried, Thomas.
24:46I still haven't delivered the mail.
24:48The Fat Controller will be cross.
24:50Don't worry, Percy.
24:51Tomorrow, I'll help you.
24:53Now, I'll shunt you to the Sodor Steamworks.
24:55Victor will have you fixed in no time.
24:59All the way to the Sodor Steamworks, the two friends chatted and chuckled about Hero.
25:07The Sodor Steamworks was quiet.
25:11Victor was very surprised to see Thomas puff him with Percy.
25:14Flaming fireboxes.
25:17What's happened now, my friend?
25:19I asked Percy to pull my special for me.
25:21His valve popped.
25:23Why didn't you pull it yourself?
25:26Because I...
25:28Because...
25:29Oh!
25:30Oh!
25:30Oh, Kevin.
25:32Slowly.
25:33Slowly.
25:34Slowly.
25:34Gently.
25:36Gently.
25:37Sorry, boss.
25:38Just a slip of the hook.
25:40I know.
25:41Then Thomas saw the old parts.
25:44He knew Hero needed them.
25:46He knew he would have to tell Victor about Hero.
25:50Victor, I need your help.
25:53We need your help.
25:54I'll always help you, my friend.
25:56What is it you need?
25:57So Thomas told Victor about Hero.
26:02Victor was amazed.
26:04Very good.
26:06Looking after another engine is very important.
26:08Especially looking after an old engine.
26:12Tell the Fat Controller.
26:13No.
26:13We can't do that yet.
26:15Hero's old and broken.
26:17The Fat Controller might have to scrap him.
26:20But if we make Hero really useful again, he won't.
26:24Okay.
26:25I understand.
26:27Whatever I put in his corner of the yard, you can take.
26:31Thomas and Percy were very happy.
26:34Thank you, Victor.
26:36Okay, Percy.
26:37Your turn to be fixed.
26:40That evening, Thomas puffed into Tidmouth Sheds.
26:44The Fat Controller was waiting.
26:47He was cross.
26:48Thomas, I hear Percy was pulling your special instead of delivering the mail.
26:54And now Percy's mail trucks are missing.
26:58Thomas felt bad.
27:00I'm sorry, sir.
27:02I don't know where Percy's mail trucks are.
27:05I will help Percy find them tomorrow.
27:07That's exactly what you'll do tomorrow.
27:11By my order.
27:13The Fat Controller's voice boomed round Tidmouth Sheds from top to tracks.
27:20Thomas' friends looked at him.
27:22They knew something strange was going on.
27:26Thomas? Is everything all right?
27:29Thomas huffed a huge puff.
27:32He needed his friend's help.
27:36I have something very important to tell you.
27:40As the stars sparkled above Tidmouth, Thomas told them all about Hero.
27:47The engines had never heard such an amazing story.
27:51The next morning, Thomas was a really useful engine.
27:57He huffed and he puffed, he shoved and he shunted, without stopping to ease his axles.
28:04Spencer watched Thomas' every wheel turn and piston pump.
28:09Spencer didn't go to work at the Duke and Duchess' summer house.
28:13He was too busy watching Thomas to see Gordon go by pulling a flatbed of old engine parts for Hero.
28:22Thomas saw Gordon, Gordon saw Thomas and they smiled.
28:33Thomas had worked hard all day.
28:36He was going to the Sodor Steamworks.
28:39Gordon steamed towards Thomas.
28:42Gordon was beaming from buffer to buffer.
28:45He was very happy to be helping Hero.
28:49Job done, job done.
28:51Now I must hurry.
28:52The express mustn't be late.
28:54Well done, Gordon.
28:56Thank you, Thomas.
28:58At the Sodor Steamworks sparks flew and cogs creaked.
29:04Percy was almost ready to leave.
29:06Percy and Thomas smiled.
29:08Then the Fat Controller arrived.
29:11He was cross.
29:13Thomas and Percy, the mail trucks are still missing.
29:17Tomorrow you must find them.
29:20Yes, sir.
29:21Of course, sir.
29:23Victor could see that Thomas and Percy were worried.
29:26Percy, you're fixed.
29:28Come on, Thomas. Cheer your friend up.
29:30I know just how to do that.
29:32Follow me, Percy.
29:34Thomas, this afternoon I will leave something for you.
29:38Thank you, Victor.
29:39Thank you, Victor.
29:41Thank you, Victor.
29:42Thomas and Percy puffed up to Hero's hideout.
29:46Percy saw Hero for the first time.
29:50He gasped.
29:54Hero, this is my best friend, Percy.
29:58Hello.
30:00Hello, Percy.
30:02You have a very special best friend.
30:04I think that is because you are special too.
30:09Do you have best friends?
30:11Yes, I do, at home.
30:14Do you miss them?
30:15I do.
30:17That's sad.
30:19Don't be sad.
30:21Look at my new funnel.
30:24Gordon brought it for me.
30:28When Gordon smiles, it changes his whole face.
30:32It is most interesting.
30:35That made Thomas and Percy smile.
30:38Good night, Hero.
30:40Good night, my friends.
30:43Until tomorrow.
30:46On their way home,
30:48Thomas and Percy chuffed cheerily past the summer house.
30:52Their wheels whirred and their boilers bubbled.
30:55Neither of them saw Spencer.
30:58Spencer saw them.
30:59He was hiding in the shadows.
31:02Once they had passed, he slid silently out of the siding.
31:06I'm going to find out what that tricky tank engine is doing.
31:12It's time for Steely Spencer to hunt for clues.
31:19In the morning, Thomas puffed off with Percy to find his mail trucks.
31:25Are you sure you can't remember where you left them, Percy?
31:29I can't.
31:30Think very hard, Percy.
31:33I am, but I can only think about Hero.
31:39Emily was busy doing Thomas' jobs on his branch line.
31:44Spencer watched her.
31:46Emily didn't take any notice of him.
31:49Why is Thomas puffing round the summer house?
31:52I don't know.
31:53Thomas is a busy engine.
31:55He chuffs all over the island.
31:57Hmm.
31:58This made Spencer cross.
32:01Why are you working on Thomas' branch line?
32:04Because, as I said, Thomas is a busy engine.
32:09Where is he busy?
32:11You're a big strong engine, Spencer.
32:14Why don't you go and look?
32:16Spencer really didn't like this.
32:18He stared hard at Emily.
32:21Spencer stared so hard,
32:23He didn't see Percy and Thomas puff by on the upper track.
32:27Nor did he see Edward huff by with a flatbed of engine parts for Hero.
32:35That evening, Thomas and Percy puffed up to Hero's hideout.
32:40Look at me now!
32:43Hero's boiler was finished.
32:45He was a colourful patchwork of parts.
32:49Thomas and Percy were very happy.
32:51You look wonderful.
32:54Hooray!
32:57But I'm worried for you.
32:59The silver engine was sniffing around here last night.
33:04Stay away for a little while.
33:05Your friends are taking good care of me.
33:09Today, Edward was very wise.
33:11And tomorrow, I think James is coming.
33:14James isn't wise at all.
33:15He's a bossy boiler.
33:17Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
33:21-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
33:21And for the first time, Thomas and Percy heard Hero laugh.
33:26Loud, long and happy.
33:32The next morning, Thomas and Percy searched the quarry for the mail trucks.
33:38They couldn't find the trucks, but they found Spencer.
33:42Mavis was delighted to see Spencer.
33:47Spencer! What an honor! Let me take you around the quarry.
33:53Thomas and Percy thought that was very funny. Spencer didn't.
33:58He scowled, and he didn't see James puffing by with a flatbed of parts for Hero.
34:04Mavis proudly took Spencer under the slate.
34:08He chuffed too quickly, then too slowly, then he rolled back too far.
34:14Slate and dust flew down his funnel and bounced off his boiler.
34:24Later, Thomas and Percy were taking on coal.
34:28Emily chuffed by. She had a flatbed of old parts for Hero.
34:33Emily was very excited.
34:36Good luck, Emily!
34:37Then, Thomas saw Spencer.
34:41Percy gasped.
34:42Ah!
34:43Cinders and ashes!
34:45Spencer was being pulled by Edward and shunted by Henry.
34:50Slate dust had blocked his funnel.
34:53Spencer had to go to the Sodor Steamworks.
34:56Now Thomas and Percy could visit Hero safely.
35:00They were excited.
35:03Hero looked more and more like a really useful engine.
35:07Thomas, I must be really, really useful before the fat controller sees me.
35:15You will be, Hero. Don't worry. I'll make sure of that.
35:23Listen, Spencer. Looking miserable doesn't get the job done any faster. Tomorrow you will be fixed.
35:30Come on. Give me a smile. Just to show me you can.
35:34Move.
35:36Thomas and Percy puffed in.
35:40Oh, Kevin!
35:42Then, Victor saw that Spencer had closed his eyes because of the noise.
35:48Victor winked at Thomas.
35:51No problem, Kevin. Those hooks can be slippy.
35:54You're doing a good job, Kevin. Keep going!
35:59Stop that noise! Please!
36:04And Thomas chuffed carefully away from Spencer.
36:09And off to Hero with his new heart.
36:14Hero, what do you think about when you're alone?
36:18My home. Since I have been talking to you and your friends about it, I miss it more than ever.
36:27Thomas understood how hard it must be for Hero to be away from home.
36:32He wanted to cheer him up.
36:35Tomorrow, Percy is going to puff across the island to get the last part we need for you.
36:40Then you'll be ready.
36:41You won't have to be alone anymore.
36:43Thank you, Thomas.
36:46You understand me well.
36:49That night, the Fat Controller was waiting for Thomas at Tidmouth Sheds.
36:54He was cross.
36:57Thomas, the mail trucks are still missing.
37:01Spencer is at the Sodor Steamworks.
37:03The building materials for the summer house are stacked up at the docks.
37:07And you're not working on your branch line.
37:11What is going on?
37:13I'm sorry, sir.
37:15Tomorrow, I will make sure everything is put right.
37:19Tomorrow, then, Thomas.
37:22Don't worry, Thomas.
37:24Tomorrow, Percy will get the last part Hero needs.
37:28We'll all take it in turns to guard Hero.
37:31Tomorrow, it will all be all right.
37:34Don't worry.
37:36Oh, thank you.
37:40Dawn broke across the island of Sodor.
37:44Spencer was back on the tracks.
37:47Today, I will find out what tricky Thomas is up to.
37:52Spencer was looking for clues.
37:56He looked behind bushes.
37:58He steamed down sidings and puffed closer and closer to Hero's hiding place.
38:08Suddenly...
38:12Spencer whistled long and hard.
38:16What's this I found?
38:19James and Toby heard Spencer.
38:22James and Toby heard Spencer.
38:22They pumped their pistons.
38:24Rattle my rods.
38:27I found Percy's mail trucks.
38:29These must be part of tricky Thomas's tricks.
38:33Suddenly, James and Toby steamed out.
38:36Spencer had puffed too close to Hero.
38:39James blew his whistle and Toby rang his bell.
38:43Together, they chased the mighty Spencer down the track and away from Hero.
38:48The three engines raced and roared to a junction.
38:51Then, Thomas chuffed towards Spencer.
38:55Spencer was blocked.
38:57He couldn't puff forwards and he couldn't huff backwards.
39:01And he had Percy's mail trucks.
39:08Spencer, why did you take Percy's mail trucks?
39:12You have caused confusion and delay.
39:14But I didn't take them.
39:16I'm not interested in your excuses, Spencer.
39:20Find Percy and give him back his mail trucks at once.
39:25I won't let Thomas get away with this.
39:29That afternoon, Hero was waiting for Thomas.
39:33He was excited.
39:35His firebox flared and his steam swirled.
39:38Percy will be here soon with your water injector.
39:41It's the last part you'll need to make enough steam.
39:44I wonder if the Fat Controller will have seen any pictures of me.
39:50Of course he will.
39:51He'll be very proud to have you as part of his railway.
39:54I'm so happy.
39:56I have waited a long time.
40:01Suddenly, there was the sound of a loud whistle.
40:05It was a whistle they both feared.
40:08It's Spencer!
40:10He's found us.
40:12Help, Thomas.
40:12Spencer will make sure I'm sent to the smelter's yard.
40:17No, he won't, Hero.
40:18You're nearly fixed.
40:19You can puff away from Spencer.
40:21Follow me!
40:22So, with a pounding puff and a heaving huff,
40:26Hero was on the tracks, following Thomas to steam away from Spencer.
40:31Hero steamed down the track, rattling and clattering.
40:36His pistons pumped and his boiler bubbled.
40:40Well done, Hero!
40:41Thank you, Thomas!
40:44Then there was trouble.
40:46Spencer snaked onto the tracks behind Thomas.
40:50Found you, Thomas!
40:51Thomas!
40:53Thomas' wheels whirred like the wind.
40:56You won't get away from me this time!
40:58Hero chuffed as fast as he could.
41:00He wanted to wish away from Spencer.
41:03Then Spencer saw Hero and gasped.
41:07Spencer had never seen an engine as strange as Hero before.
41:10Who are you?
41:13Hero!
41:14Thomas!
41:16That engine can't even part properly.
41:19Hero's engine had started to clatter and clunk.
41:22His steam dome shook and his cylinders creaked.
41:25Hero was worried.
41:27Without the last engine part, Hero could only sputter and splutter.
41:31Hero's new lamp broke loose and hit Spencer.
41:34Now Hero's engine started to judder and jitter.
41:37Parts fell off, they clanged and they banged onto the track.
41:42No!
41:43Don't worry, Hero! You can do it!
41:46Thomas, help me!
41:48But the harder Hero huffed, the worse he wobbled.
41:52Keep huffing, Hero!
41:54More parts clattered and scattered from Hero's engine.
41:58Thomas!
41:59You can do it, Hero!
42:01I don't think he can!
42:03Hero knew Spencer was right.
42:05The master of the railway was once more a heap of scrap.
42:11Hero couldn't puff on.
42:13Is this what you've been doing, Thomas?
42:15Making a heap of scrap for the smelter's yard?
42:18Because that's the only thing that this engine's good for.
42:22The Fat Controller will make sure of that!
42:26Thomas felt terrible.
42:28He had worked so hard, but he had let Hero down.
42:32How can I stop Hero going to the smelter's yard now?
42:37Then, Thomas heard another whistle.
42:41It was Gordon and the Express.
42:43I'll race you to Mithwaite!
42:45Slow coach Spencer!
42:47I'll win!
42:49Spencer was surprised.
42:51He saw Gordon thunder ahead with the Express.
42:55Oh, no you won't, Gordon!
42:56I'll win!
42:58Spencer steamed after Gordon.
43:00His funnel flared and his wheels whirred.
43:03He didn't see Thomas looking down a smaller track.
43:07Don't worry, Hero.
43:09We'll hide you down here.
43:10Everything will be all right.
43:12But poor Hero looks sadder than ever.
43:20Gordon raced toward Mithwaite ahead of Spencer.
43:24Spencer was out of puff.
43:26Percy's mail trucks rattled and prattled behind him.
43:30I won!
43:31I told you I would!
43:34Before Spencer could ease his axles, the door of the Express swung open.
43:39The Duke and Duchess of Boxford stepped out.
43:42They were cross.
43:44Fumbling fenders!
43:46Spencer!
43:47You have let us down.
43:49We left you in charge of our summer house.
43:53And it's not ready for our holiday.
43:55Our friend the Fat Controller says you spend all day watching Thomas.
44:02And taking mail trucks that aren't yours.
44:05You told me you would take them back to Percy, and you haven't.
44:09Spencer's pride was in pieces.
44:12They have a very old engine.
44:15A heap of scrap, in fact.
44:17I was chasing it because, in fact, Fat Controller, you should...
44:21Please, Spencer, stop.
44:24Chasing engines that are a heap of scrap?
44:29We'll have to send you back to the mainland.
44:31It's quite clear.
44:33You're not fit to work.
44:36Please, may I help?
44:37I could work with Spencer at the summer house.
44:40I'm sure together we could have it ready in time.
44:43The Duke and Duchess were delighted.
44:46Thank you, Thomas.
44:47That is most kind of you.
44:50Please, keep an eye on Spencer.
44:52He's clearly not feeling well.
44:55Spencer wished steam.
44:58It was all too terrible.
45:02It was getting late as Thomas chuffed to see Hero.
45:07Hero was very sad.
45:09You did everything you could, Thomas.
45:12But I know now.
45:14I will be sent to the smelter's yard.
45:17No! No, you won't!
45:19I won't let that happen to you.
45:21I promise. Don't give up.
45:25And Thomas steamed sadly away to Tidmouth.
45:31All the engines were worried about Hero.
45:35And cross with Spencer.
45:37I'm sorry I left my mail truck so close to Hero.
45:40I didn't know he was there.
45:43It looked like a very good hiding place.
45:45Don't worry, Percy.
45:47We all did our best.
45:49What shall we do now?
45:51I'm going to tell the Fat Controller.
45:54Why?
45:55We tried to fix Hero by ourselves.
45:58It didn't work.
45:59We need his help.
46:01First of all, I'll finish the summer house with Spencer.
46:04Then the Fat Controller will know that I'm a really useful engine.
46:08And he'll want to help me.
46:10The other engines were quiet.
46:12They knew Thomas was right.
46:15But they were worried for Hero.
46:17He was their friend.
46:19They wanted to look after him.
46:21While I'm busy, will you all go and visit Hero?
46:25Of course we will, Thomas.
46:27All the engines whistled.
46:30They were a team for Hero.
46:35For the next few days,
46:37Thomas and Spencer worked on the summer house bizzle.
46:42Thomas didn't let Spencer out of his sight.
46:47Thomas' friends all looked after Hero.
46:50He was never alone for long.
46:53He laughed and told stories about his homeland to Emily, Gordon and Percy.
46:58He listened to Edward's wise words and cared that Henry had to have special coal.
47:04He admired James' shiny red coat and thought Toby was very special.
47:11The only steam tram he had ever met.
47:15The Duke and Duchess came to visit the summer house.
47:19It was almost complete.
47:20They were very pleased.
47:23Spencer beamed.
47:25He told them all about it.
47:27While Thomas puffed quietly away to see Hero.
47:33Hero was happy to see Thomas.
47:36Hello Thomas, my best friend.
47:39Hello Hero.
47:40Thomas could see Hero was sad.
47:43Hero, I won't let you be scrapped.
47:46Believe me.
47:47Tonight I will fix everything.
47:51Thomas chuffed back to the summer house.
47:54Just in time to say goodbye to the Duke and Duchess.
47:58Thank you, Thomas.
48:00Without you, Spencer would never have finished on time.
48:04I have to go to Knapford now.
48:06Why?
48:08To see the Fat Controller.
48:09Spencer snarled.
48:12You're going to tell the Fat Controller about that silly scrap engine.
48:15I'll get there first to make sure your plan doesn't work.
48:19That engine will be sent to the smelter's yard where he belongs.
48:22So Spencer pumped his pistons and clickety-clacked after Thomas.
48:28Thomas heard Spencer's wheels whooshing and whirring behind him.
48:32I'll puff hardest. I'll chuff quickest. I know I can.
48:37Thomas and Spencer had the race of their lives.
48:41Thomas steamed over bridges and whooshed through tunnels.
48:46He slipped through junctions and raced round bends.
48:51Spencer thundered and roared.
48:54But he couldn't get in front of Thomas.
48:58At a junction, Thomas puffed ahead.
49:01Then he turned quickly onto a sidetrack.
49:03Spencer thundered on.
49:06Then screeched to a stop.
49:09Spencer reversed back to the junction.
49:11He raced after Thomas along the narrow track.
49:18The rickety old track went over Marshall and Thomas knew that it was the fastest way to Knapford.
49:25Thomas huffed and Spencer puffed.
49:29Spencer was closer and closer.
49:31Then there was trouble.
49:33The track was broken and Spencer was too heavy.
49:37With a creak and a crack, the track snapped beneath him.
49:42The mighty Spencer slid into the muddy marsh.
49:46Thomas stopped. He knew what had happened, but he could do nothing.
49:50I'm sorry, Spencer. I didn't know the track was broken.
49:54I'll go on and get help. I'll be back.
49:57And Thomas steamed on.
50:01Thomas chuffed into Knapford.
50:03He was tired and dirty.
50:06The Fat Controller was having dinner with the Duke and Duchess.
50:10The Station Master telephoned him and asked the Fat Controller to come to Knapford right away.
50:16Thomas' traction rods were trembling.
50:19His wheels wobbled.
50:21He knew he now had to tell the Fat Controller everything about Hero.
50:27The Fat Controller listened.
50:29Hero is an old and important engine.
50:32I didn't want him scrapped.
50:34That's why we tried to fix him ourselves.
50:36The Fat Controller stared at Thomas.
50:40Thomas was worried.
50:41He was now sure the Fat Controller would scrap Hero.
50:46Did you say Hero?
50:48Yes, sir.
50:50You mean the Master of the Railway?
50:53Yes, sir.
50:55Oh, he's terribly famous.
50:58Famous? He's the Master of the Railway.
51:01Why did you think I would scrap the Master of the Railway, Thomas?
51:07Why didn't you ask me?
51:09Because I was silly, sir.
51:11And worried.
51:13So I tried to fix him alone.
51:16You're not alone anymore.
51:18We must help Hero at once.
51:21Send him to the Sodor Steamworks.
51:24Victor will have his funnel bright and pistons pumping in no time.
51:28Thomas was so happy he wanted to whistle and wish.
51:33Thank you, sir. Thank you.
51:36What about Spencer?
51:38He needs help too.
51:40I told Spencer not to leave the Summer House.
51:43And he did.
51:45So, Spencer must wait his turn for help after Hero.
51:52Hero!
51:53I've seen the Fat Controller.
51:55He knows you're the Master of the Railway.
51:58You're going to be sent to the Sodor Steamworks.
52:01Not the Smelter's Yard.
52:03Hooray for Thomas!
52:05Hooray for Hero!
52:09The next day, Thomas and Percy heaved and hauled Hero to the Sodor Steamworks.
52:16The Fat Controller was waiting.
52:19Welcome, Hero.
52:20It's a pleasure to meet you after so long.
52:24Thank you, sir.
52:25I thank you very much.
52:27And I thank you for Thomas.
52:30Thomas did his best.
52:33Victor will make sure that you will soon be Master of the Railway once more.
52:38Of course, sir. Anything for you.
52:41I will do my very, very best.
52:43We all will.
52:45Sorry, boss!
52:48Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
52:50Very slippy hook.
52:52So I see.
52:56Don't worry, Hero. Victor is the best.
53:24A few days later, all the engines went to see Hero.
53:30He puffed forward slowly.
53:38The engines gasped.
53:42Whoa!
53:46Hero looked wonderful. As good as new.
53:52How do you feel, Hero?
53:54Very happy, Thomas.
53:55I never thought this day would come.
53:59Job done, Victor.
54:03Welcome back, Master of the Railway.
54:07Thank you, sir.
54:07Now, Thomas, go and get that Spencer out of the mud.
54:17Here I am, Spencer.
54:19I've come to help you.
54:21You can't help me, Thomas.
54:24You're not strong enough.
54:25You're right, Spencer.
54:27But I have just the engine who can help.
54:31Who are you?
54:33I am Hero.
54:36Are you the scrap engine?
54:39I was the scrap engine.
54:42Blistering boilers.
54:44Spencer.
54:45It's time to get you out of the mud.
54:50Hello, Spencer.
54:53What do you know?
54:57Hero shunted and shifted Rocky into the right place.
55:04Very slowly and carefully, Rocky lifted Spencer back onto the track.
55:10And then, with a mighty heave and haul, Hero pulled Rocky and Spencer towards the Sodor Steamworks.
55:20When Spencer was fixed, he joined Hero and Thomas.
55:25Together, the three engines worked on the summer house.
55:29They huffed and puffed their hardest.
55:35Thomas, I'm sorry I thought you were a tricky engine.
55:39And Hero, I'm sorry I called you a heap of scrap.
55:44You are both fine engines and fine friends.
55:49Just then, the Duke and Duchess arrived for their holiday.
55:52They were delighted with their new summer house.
55:57That night, Thomas and Hero were resting.
56:01Their axles ached and their wheels were weary.
56:05Thomas saw that Hero was sad.
56:07What's the matter, Hero?
56:09You have been very kind, Thomas.
56:12The best friend I could ever have.
56:15But I want to go home.
56:17I understand, Hero.
56:20I understand, Hero.
56:21I can help you!
56:22Wait here!
56:23And before Hero could puff Master of the Railway, Thomas had chuffed away.
56:32Sir, I need your help.
56:35I know you'll understand.
56:37Hero wants to go home.
56:39He hasn't been home for a very long time.
56:42And he misses his friends and his island.
56:45I understand, Thomas.
56:47You did well to ask me.
56:49Of course I will help you.
56:51Tell Hero not to worry.
56:56A few days later, all the engines were at Brendam Docks.
57:02They were very excited.
57:04Here he comes, Thomas.
57:07Right, everyone.
57:08One, two, three!
57:11All the engines whistled.
57:14Then there was one long and low whistle.
57:20It was Hero.
57:23Hero chuffed slowly at the track and stopped by Thomas and Percy.
57:31It's time for you to go home, Hero.
57:33It is, Thomas.
57:36I will never ever forget what you did for me.
57:40I will never forget you.
57:43Perhaps I can visit you.
57:46Or perhaps you could come back and visit us one day.
57:49Maybe, Percy.
57:52Sodor will always be your home too, Hero.
57:56I know, Thomas.
58:33we listen to you two new.
58:40I watch the movie Theatre Sun and E pourrait...
