[laughing]

Whoo-hoo!

[engine chugging slows]

The construction trucks,

Max and Monty,

don't always follow the rules

or listen to instructions,

but one time,

not listening got them

into very deep trouble.

[whistle toots]

All aboard for a big adventure.

[Thomas]

"Deep Trouble."One morning I was takingJack and Alfieto the old lead minesalong my branch line.

What work are you going

to do there?

Miss Jenny says that the area

is being made

into a visitor's park.

[whistle toots]

Why'd you stop here, Thomas?

Can't you go any closer?

Sorry, but I can't.

The last time I was here,

I feel into a mineshaft.

I'm still not sure

if the ground is strong enough.

Okay, Thomas,

thanks for the lift.

Ah, there you two are.

Jack and Alfie, I want you

working on the park's entrance.

Darcy, you will need to dig

a tunnel through the rock face

for the new road leading in.

[snorts] That's all

she can do is dig tunnels.

Yeah, like a little mole.

[laughs]

Max and Monty,

pay attention, please.

I need you to dump rubble

at the front of the main shafts

and stay within

the safety flags.

That goes for everyone.

[all] Yes, Miss Jenny.

And remember

the number one rule.

[all] Safety first.

Right, everyone.

To work.

[drill whirring]

Wait your turn, Monty.

One at a time.

This is ridiculous.

How are we supposed

to get the job done

when we have to go

through such small spaces?

I know, it makes

the work much slower.

We'd be better going

the other way around

where it's more spacious.

But that's where

the old mine shafts are, Monty.

The ground isn't safe.

You might be too heavy.

Hmm, and how would you know?

- I'm a tunnel boring machine.

- Exactly.

- You're boring.

- [both laughing]

There's a lot more to tunnels

than just digging them,

you know.

- [clanks twice]

- Right.

You guys are all set.

[engines revving]

[coughing]

[groans]

Hey,

that way looks much faster.

[grunts]

Looks safe enough to me.

This route

will be much quicker.

[Thomas]

But Monty was about to gethimself into deep trouble.

- [tires squealing]

- Whoo-hoo!

I don't know

what that silly tunnel digger

was so worried about.

This ground is as hard

as the stone in my dumper bed.

- [ground rumbling]

- Ah... ooh.

What's happening?

[yelling]

Monty?

Where'd you go?

[coughing]

Max, come down here.

[yelps]

Just stay there.

I... I'll go and get help.

Don't move.

I'm not exactly

going anywhere.

[siren blares]

[whistle toots]

He's gone down pretty deep,

but I can see him.

Wouldn't chance it

with Rocky, though.

The ground

might not be stable enough.

But you can't

just leave him there.

What's going to happen to him?

- Max, something's happening.

- [rumbling]

[yelling]

[yelling]

[yelling]

[grunts]

Good day, cobber.

We wouldn't just leave him

down under.

Monty may have disobeyed

the danger flags,

but we'd never leave

even a naughty truck behind.

It'll take a long time

to dig him out, though.

Even with myself,

Jack and Oliver

all working together.

- What about Darcy?

- [gasps] Yes.

Darcy can dig

a tunnel to Monty.

She's a very fast digger.

The fastest on the team.

- Darcy?

- Oh, great idea, Jack.

Go and get her, please.

Right on it, Miss Jenny.

Darcy, we need your help.

Urgently.

[Darcy]

What's wrong?

Monty has fallen

into a mineshaft.

We need you to dig him out.

- [goggles squeak]

- [sighs] I warned him,

but he didn't listen.

Don't worry, Monty.

Help is on the way.

[whimpers]

Darcy, where are you going?

Monty's down there.

It's okay, Max.

Darcy knows what she's doing.

Aim and drill.

Oh, will I ever

see daylight again?

I hope help comes soon.

[rumbling]

- [drill whirring]

- Uh...

Who's there?

[all cheering]

[Alfie] Well done, Darcy.

Spot on, Darcy.

You're a credit to the team.

Thank you for rescuing me,

Darcy.

I don't know how I would've

gotten out without you.

Thanks.

It was nothing, really.

Just doing my job.

And we're very sorry

for teasing you.

You really are

a very good digger.

[all] The best.

Now, I'm sure this has taught

you a lesson, Monty,

about the importance of

listening to instructions, hmm?

Yes, Miss Jenny, I'm sorry.

Good.

Now, I'll arrange for Thomas

to take you back to the yards

for repairs.

Hello, everyone.

Ready to fill

in the mine... shafts.

Oh, what did I miss?

Oh, certainly nothing boring.

- [giggles]

- [laughs]

[all laughing]

[whistle toots]

It's important to stay safe

whether you're working

or playing.

Not following the rules could

get you into a bad situation.

One night,Gator's headlamp kept going outand Toad made him stopbecause it was dangerous.Gator tried continuingwithout it,but couldn't seewhere he was going,and he nearly had an accident.Monty was careless to ignorethe warning flags,and he ended up gettinginto very deep trouble.But luckily,he has friends like Darcywho are there to help him out.

Always listen to instructions

and follow the rules.

It's the best way to stay safe,

- so you can be really useful.

- [whistle blows]

Come on, Thomas.

It's time to go.

See you next time.
