- [Michael] Thomas and
Fergus the traction engine
are friends.
(train whistle blows)
Fergus is the pride
of the Cement Works.
Fergus knows all the
rules and obeys them.
(train chugs)
(sneaky music)
One day, Sir Topham Hatt
brought devious Diesel
to the Cement Works.
"I need Diesel to
help for a while.
"Fergus, please
show him around."
"Yes," said Fergus unhappily.
He knew that Diesel
could be trouble.
Later, Diesel was
being careless.
"Not like that," snapped Fergus.
"Do it right."
"Don't interfere,"
sneered Diesel.
(suspenseful music)
(sand clatters)
"You don't know the
rules," shouted Fergus.
Diesel was very
annoyed with Fergus
and started plotting
a devious plan.
(sneaky music)
Later that day, he pretended
to have news for Fergus.
"Sir Topham Hatt wants you
to work at the smelter's."
"Me?
"But I'm the pride
of the Cement Works."
"Not anymore.
"Sir Topham Hatt says
I'm better than you,
"so I'm going to stay here."
"It's not fair.
"I love working here."
But he knew that really
useful engines have
to do as they are told.
(laughs)
Fergus and his driver
arrived at the smelter's.
(sneaky music)
(sizzling)
"I wanna go back to the
Cement Works," wailed Fergus.
"None of the other
engines like coming here.
"It's so scary!"
"You're right," said his driver.
Just then, the scrap
diesels arrived.
"Hello, are you
happy to be here?"
"No," cried Fergus.
His driver was scared too.
"Come on Fergus!
"We're going to escape."
And for the first time,
Fergus broke the rules.
(train whistle blows)
Sir Topham Hatt was
enjoying a tasty fish supper
when he heard that
Fergus was missing.
"That's not like Fergus.
"There must be something wrong.
"I will send Thomas
to look for him."
(suspenseful music)
Fergus and his driver
turned onto an unused track
to find a place to hide.
Fergus was frightened.
(train chugs)
(suspenseful music)
So was Thomas.
He puffed up and down the line.
He couldn't see Fergus anywhere.
"We could search the old
mine track," said his driver.
"That line is dark and
spooky," whispered Thomas,
but he had to be
brave and find Fergus.
(suspenseful music)
Fergus was on a siding.
His fire had gone out.
Then he heard a sound.
(train chugging)
"It's an engine," he cried.
"Fergus," whistled Thomas.
(train whistle blows)
"Whatever are you
doing out here?"
(train chugs)
"Hiding.
"Don't wanna work
at the smelter's.
"Sir Topham Hatt is going
to be cross with me."
"He's not," cried Thomas.
"He's worried about you."
"Really?"
"Of course," puffed Thomas.
Fergus felt better.
(light music)
Thomas pulled Fergus all the
way to the smelter's yard,
where he knew Sir
Topham Hatt was waiting.
(trains chug)
(cheerful music)
"Fergus, explain yourself."
"I ran away.
"It's scary here."
"Diesel told Fergus
that you wanted him
at the smelter's forever."
"Nonsense, Fergus.
"You are the pride
of the Cement Works.
"I shall send Diesel
to the smelter's,
"and you can go back to the
Cement Workds tomorrow."
"Oh thank you, sir,"
said Fergus happily.
Fergus knew he had a
good friend in Thomas,
and he was still the
pride of the Cement Works.
(train whistle blows)
