- Hello, Thomas.
[whistle blows]
Hi, there, Gordon.
- Ah, here comes number .
Really slow and always late.
[laughs]
- That's not true, Gordon.
I'm never late.
- Well, maybe you're number
because you've broken down
times.
- But I haven't!
- Or is it because
you have loose rivets
rattling around
in your radiator?
[laughs]
[continues laughing]
- Don't listen to him, Philip.
He's only teasing.
It doesn't matter
what number you are,
as long as you do a useful job.
- Oh, that's easy
for you to say, Thomas.
You're number one.
I'm number .
And I don't even know why.
[whistle blows]
narrator: Philip was still
wondering why he was number
when he arrived
back at Knapford.
- Ah, Philip.
I need you to take some spare
parts to the Steamworks.
- Yes, sir.
Right, sir.
Um, but before you go, it's--
well, it's just
I've been wondering,
um,
why am I number ?
- Hmm.
[chuckles]
I don't rightly know.
You were number
when you first arrived here.
- Oh.
- But when I have a moment,
I'll check the records
and see if I can find out.
- Oh, great!
Thank you, sir.
- Huh.
Who knows.
Maybe there were
other Philips before you.
- What?
Philips before me?
Oh, my.
- Hello, Philip!
Good morning, Philip!
Have a good day, Philip!
See you later, Philip!
- Good morning, Philip!
[multiple Philips chattering

Philip?
Philip.

- Everything all right?
- Uh...
[clears throat]
Yes.
I'm fine, thanks, Toby.
- Okay.

- [sighs] I have to find out
the real reason
why I'm number .
Victor!
[whistle blows]
I've got your spare parts!
- Philip, my friend.
Good to see you.
- I'll get unloading,
shall I, boss?
- Yes, you carry on, Kevin.
- Um, Victor,
you know everything about
engines, don't you?
- Well, I wouldn't go so far
as to say I know everything--
- So you know why I'm number !
- Maybe that's how old you are,
Philip.

- [gasps, moans]
- Say cheese!
[noisemaker blows]
[dinosaurs roar,
camera shutter clicks]
- [laughing]
No, no, no, Kevin.
Philip is a young engine.
I'm sorry, my friend.
I'm more familiar with steamies.
Maybe someone at the diesel
works will be able to help you.
- The diesel works!
Yeah, of course!
I'll ask
at the diesel works.
[whistle blows]
Thanks, Victor!
Bye, Kevin!
Hello, Paxton.
[whistle blows]
Hello, Sidney.
How are you?
Good. You?
I heard you know
why I'm number .
- Oh.
Uh...
I'm not sure.
What do you think, Sidney?
- Huh?
Uh...
Oh, have you got wheels?
- [laughs]
Of course he hasn't.
He's got one, two, three--
- Oh, I know
why Philip's number .

You do?
- Yes.
- Ooh, why?
- Because...
- Uh-huh.
- Because...
- Yeah?

Um...
Uh...
Oh, sorry, I forgot.
- Okay.
[whistle blows]
- Oh.
narrator: Philip was
getting nowhere.
He still didn't know
why he was number .
But he was sure that every
number must mean something.
- The train leaving
from platform three

everywhere.
All Philip could think about

He was extremely brave.

Well done, Philip!
This little diesel

I've done some research

The reason is--

And no other engine
has ever done that!
- Hmm.
Very true.
And everyone
will remember you for that.

Well done, number .
- Sorry I teased you before
about your number, Philip.
When it comes to being brave,
you're number one!
- Don't be silly, Gordon.
- Huh?
- Oh, everybody knows
I'm number .
And it's great!
