Original subtitles

Oh, dear, Thomas.

That must be too many cars

for a little tank engine like you.

Why don't you ask another engine to help you?

I don't need any help.

I can do this by myself.

Oh!

Laugh if you like, Gordon.

You always think I'm too small to do anything,

but I'm gonna go far.

I'm... I'm... I'm gonna see the world one day.

Just you wait and see.

Whoa! Aah!

Oof.

A little tank engine who wants to see the world.

Take a look around you, Thomas.

This is your world.

Oh!

G'day.

- Scuse me, mate. - Huh?

Is this the way to the island of Sodor?

Yes, but only if you're a railway engine.

Where do you think you're going?

I think I'm going over the railway bridge.

Where do you think I'm going?

Huh?

Look out!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Mind yourself, mate.

You wouldn't want to blow a gasket over nothing.

Right, that's it.

A little closer now, that's it.

Oh, what are these still doing here?

Thomas, you need to take these fish cars to Vicarstown.

They're very smelly.

But James is supposed to do that, sir.

I'm supposed to take Annie and Clarabel

out on my branch line.

James isn't here.

We simply can't have these fish

stinking up the yard any longer.

And don't forget to bring me my coaches, Thomas.

I mustn't keep my passengers waiting.

All aboard!

Any passenger

requiring assistance with their luggage,

please see a porter.

Express coming through!

Is Gordon pulling fish cars?

Fish cars?

Those fish cars need to be taken to Vicarstown,

and that's where Gordon is going.

He's just being extra useful today.

Fish express coming through!

♪ Somebody's got to be the favorite ♪

Whoo-hoo!

Hey, excuse me!

Who is that?

Hello, are you a racing car?

That's right, mate.

I certainly am.

Want to race?

- Race? - No, Thomas.

What, a little race car like me

against a big tank engine like you? Ha.

All right, mate. Ready. Set...

Thomas!

Go.

See you later!

Wow, did you see that?

Whoo-hoo!

Cinders and ashes, that was amazing.

You can spin around in a complete circle.

I wish I could do that.

You mean a 360, mate.

What's stopping you?

These rails.

The only time I get to spin around

is when I'm on the turntable,

and that's not very fast.

But you can do a 360.

Oh, who are you, and what are you doing here?

I've never seen you on Sodor before.

Me? Mate, my name's Ace,

and I'm on a race around the world,

five cross-country rallies on five different continents.

Wow, and is the first race here on Sodor?

On Sodor?

Don't be silly, mate.

I'm here to catch a ship to get to the first race.

That's so exciting.

I've always wanted to see the world.

Then why don't you?

They do have rails in other countries, you know.

Mate, you should do it.

Free and easy, that's my motto.

Who knows?

You could be the first railway engine

to go all the way around the world.

That's probably never been done before.

Anyroad, I ain't got time to hang around here all day.

I need to carry on with my speed trials.

Whoo-hoo!

So do I.

No, you don't.

Thomas!

Huh? Where are you going?

I have passengers for you!

Thomas!

Oh.

Hello, little brother.

Hello.

Oh, what is that terrible smell?

Is it you, Gordon?

Are you pulling the Flying Kipper today,

or are those actually fish cars at the back of your coaches?

Fish cars? Fish cars?

Oh, the indignity.

Thomas!

Ah, Thomas, thank you

for sorting out those fish cars earlier.

That was a great help.

Not a problem, sir.

Always happy to be really useful, ha.

And, well, there is something else

I wanted to talk to you about, sir.

I've had an idea.

How would you like it, sir, if one of your engines

could be the first railway engine

to go right round the world?

Round the world?

I've never heard of a railway engine

going around the world.

Yes, sir. I know, sir.

It's probably never been done before.

Oh, well, it would be a marvelous thing

if it could be done, Thomas.

But I doubt it's that easy.

The world's not all one big railway, you know.

There are oceans to cross as well as deserts

and jungles and mountains.

But it would be a marvelous thing, wouldn't it, sir?

Yes, Thomas, it would.

Oh, bother, that telephone.

If you can figure out a way of actually doing it.

Yes, sir.

I can.

Hello?

Um, have you seen Thomas, Percy?

He didn't wait for my passengers today.

Thomas? Thomas left Annie and Clarabel in the yard,

and I don't know where he went after that.

Thomas! Where is Thomas?

He coupled fish cars to the back of the express today.

Just wait until I catch up with him.

Has anybody seen Thomas?

I have a goods train I want him

to take to Arlesburgh for me.

Thomas?

Thomas! Has anyone seen Thomas?

Sir, sir, sir, I found out what happened to Thomas.

Oh, Thomas, where could you be?

You're in Africa now, Thomas.

What do you reckon?

Welcome to Dakar, Senegal!

Wow, Ace, I love it.

The ships, the people, the sounds, the smells...

everything.

Whoa, that woman's carrying a pot on her head.

And look at all those camels.

Oh, Ace, I'm so glad you invited me to come with you.

Yeah, well, you know what they say:

the world is your oyster.

Is it?

What's an oyster?

Isn't that some kind of fish?

Ah, it's just a saying, Thomas.

Excuse me!

But I'm in a hurry here, mate.

Easy.

Whoo-hoo, yeah!

Whoo-hoo!

Free and easy.

Uh, excuse me. Thank you.

Oh, whoops, pardon me.

Ah, thank you very much.

So Africa is continent number one.

This first cross-country rally is a race across the Sahara,

just miles and miles of hot, sandy desert.

I hope they have lots of water towers.

And that's only the start of it.

The run continues on to Dar es Salaam

on the other side of Africa,

and then we catch a ship to Rio for the next rally.

Dar es Salaam? Rio?

It's all so exciting.

I still can't believe we're actually doing this.

Welcome, one and all. It's a...

Hey, guys!

- Hey, Ace. - Hey, Ace!

Tony, Angelique, how are you?

What tires are you using?

How are you navigating?

I've fitted extra fuel tanks.

And water.

Last thing we want to do is end up overheating out there.

I'm Thomas.

Good for you.

I'm coming with you.

You?

Across the Sahara?

How can a railway engine cross a big, sandy desert?

Ace invited me.

No, I didn't.

You just got the wrong end of the stick shift.

All cars to the start line.

Why would I say you could come with me across the Sahara

when there aren't any tracks?

No tracks? But you told me...

And as the contestants prepare to line up,

we can feel the excitement...

Ace, you told me there would be tracks!

I told you about the five rallies,

and you told me you wanted

- to see the world. - On your marks.

- Get set. - So go see it.

Go! And they're off!

Ace, no!

Ace, wait for me in Dar es Salaam!

Wherever that is.

Oh.

Dar es Salaam?

Dar es Salaam?

Are you going to Dar es Salaam?

Oh!

We've been waiting for you.

Me, really?

Okay.

We were hoping somebody could take us to Dar es Salaam.

But, um, I don't even know where Dar es Salaam is.

We do.

That's where we came from.

So you are the new engine?

Well, I...

You look smaller, slower,

and much, much less useful

than the engine I was expecting, eh?

How are you going to pull so many cars, eh?

A little engine like you, huh?

This is not too many cars for me.

If they can show me the way to Dar es Salaam,

I can get them there.

You told him.

Yes, that's the spirit.

But why would it be okay

to load Thomas onto a ship that was going to Africa, Carly?

Thomas told me that he asked you about it, sir.

He said that you thought it was a good idea.

A good idea? What did I say was a good idea?

That Thomas be the first railway engine

to go right around the world.

Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

I need to find Thomas and bring him back

before something happens to him.

I need to be on the next ship for Dakar.

Oh, yes, sir.

- Whoa! - No, Carly.

What are you doing?

You don't load people onto ships with your hook.

Oops.

Oh! Yeah, that's it. Yeah, oh, right.

Sorry, sir.

Oh.

Oh, where in the world are you, Thomas?

See, didn't I say I could do it?

I might even get to Dar es Salaam before Ace.

Eh, where are you going?

To Dar es Salaam.

Really? Hmm.

I thought they would have sent a bigger engine.

I've pulled a lot more cars than this

back on the island of So...

Doh!

Dar es Salaam?

Okay, we have some more cars for you.

Come on.

Dar es Salaam?

Dar es Salaam.

- Dar es Salaam. - Dar es Salaam.

Dar es Salaam!

Your face!

You shouldn't look so surprised.

There are always a lot of cars for Dar es Salaam, you know,

but usually they send a bigger engine,

not a little one like you.

Luckily, I like to be helpful wherever I can,

and it's not very busy around here at the moment.

So that means I can help you.

Two engines are much better than one, you know.

I don't need any help.

I can do this by myself.

Oh, okay, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

We usually travel much faster than this.

Maybe some help would have been a good idea.

Why have they given us such a small engine?

I'm not that small.

Be patient.

I can do this.

Now I realize why everyone

kept saying this was a difficult job.

It's because of cars like you,

always complaining... about... everything.

Oh, this really is a job

for a much... bigger... engine.

Whoa!

I've got you!

- She's got you. - She's got you.

She's got you.

What did I tell you, Mr. Blue Tank Engine?

I knew you'd need help.

She knew you'd need help.

She knew you'd need help.

She knew you'd need help.

I don't need help!

I was managing just fine.

He doesn't need help.

- He doesn't need help. - He doesn't need help.

Oh, I see.

I didn't realize you were going backwards for fun.

I do that sometimes too, you know.

Whee!

Whoa!

Oof. But you do have to be careful

in case there is something behind you that you can't see.

- Don't you think so? - Humph.

Should I call you Mr. Blue Tank Engine,

or do you have a name?

My name is Nia.

Well, I'm called Thomas,

and I can pull this train by myself.

Good-bye, Nia.

If you want to go faster,

you should still let me help you.

After all, it's a long way to Dar es Salaam,

5,000 miles.

- It's 5,000 miles. - It's 5,000 miles.

It's 5,000 miles.

5,000 miles?

Hey, hey! The cars can help you, you know.

Oh, of course they can.

Cars love to be helpful, just like you do.

You cars, don't any of you know any songs

to help pass the time?

This is going to be a very long journey without any music.

And big blue tank engine Thomas

is getting grumpy already.

He needs a bit of cheering up.

Slow down a little, Thomas.

You need to be careful about animals on the tracks.

Oh, I know all about that.

We get animals on the tracks all the time back on Sodor.

I just give a little peep of my whistle...

And they soon get off the tracks again.

Africa is a wonderful country.

Africa is not a country, Thomas.

Africa is a continent.

We've passed through many different countries already,

and we'll pass through even more

before we reach Dar es Salaam.

Nia, back up! Back up!

I thought you said

that you are used to animals on the tracks.

Yes, but we don't have

ginormous-sized elephants on Sodor.

Well, I wouldn't advise you to blow your whistle at him.

He might charge at you.

Maybe we should go a different way.

I can't see any other way to go right now.

Ah, yes, uh, he's a blue tank engine, yeah.

He was following some racing cars.

Eh, oh.

- Racing cars. - Huh?

Ah, the racing cars went off into the Sahara.

Eh, the Sahara?

Indeed.

Ah! The desert?

Is there even a railway track through the Sahara?

Ah, hey, hey! Give that back!

Oh, you must forgive Ijin.

He loves to try new kinds of foods.

Whoa.

So here we are, Thomas.

This is Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

We're home!

Great.

Okay, everybody,

now, you need to keep your eyes open for my friend.

You can't miss him. He's bright yellow,

so he looks really cool,

and he can spin around really fast.

He's called Ace.

Ace? Who's Ace?

Oh.

I thought you didn't know anybody in Africa, eh?

I thought you'd never been here before.

No, I haven't.

Ace and I came to Africa together, Nia.

We're gonna go all the way around the world.

Together?

You're going around the world together?

I thought you wanted to do everything by yourself.

I thought you didn't need any help.

Well, Ace isn't helping me.

It's just that he's racing

on five different...

Continents.

Hello! Hey, hello!

Is that Ace?

No, no, no, no, it's my friend Kwaku.

Nia, is that really you?

Oh, I wonder if your friend Kwaku has seen Ace.

Nia, how are you?

All very well, thank you, Kwaku.

Excuse me.

How are your wheels? How is your boiler?

How are your pistons?

Have the tracks been taking you where you want to go?

And are your fellow engines treating you well?

Yes, they are, thank you.

And how are you? How are your wheels?

How's your boiler? How are your pistons?

Have the tracks been taking you where you want to go?

And are your fellow engines treating you well?

Everything and everyone is pretty good today.

Thank you, Nia.

Wow, you two take a long time to say hello.

Hey, have you found a new shed where you can live yet?

Excuse me, but can I just ask you something quick?

Please, Kwaku?

I suppose you' better, huh?

Before you burn your boiler dry.

Have you seen a little yellow racing car

called Ace around here?

I'm supposed to be meeting him.

Hmm, there were lots of racing cars here earlier.

There were?

You should have seen them, Nia,

zipping about the yard like mosquitoes.

Back and forth across the tracks,

zip, zip, zip.

And?

Well, they're all gone now.

So the yard is quiet again.

Personally, I prefer it that way.

Uh-oh, I have to be on my way again.

Hey, good-bye, Nia!

Good-bye, Nia's friend!

Good-bye, Kwaku! See you soon!

Ace must have gone ahead without me.

Hmm, he doesn't sound like a very good friend.

What do you mean?

Ace is a great friend.

He's fast and exciting, and he does what he wants.

He's a racing car, Nia, free and easy.

I was probably just too slow getting here

with all those cars to pull.

So what are you going to do now, Thomas?

Can I help?

No, Nia, no, you can't.

You might as well go home now, okay?

I'll just find a ship and go to Rio by myself.

Wherever that is.

Hey, hey, Thomas!

What are you doing?

I thought you were going home again.

You're not supposed to be on this ship.

Cheer up. I'm coming with you,

in case you meet another angry elephant

or something, you know.

And anyway, I've always wanted to see the world too.

What? That was my idea.

You're not the only one who can have ideas, Thomas.

I've always wanted to visit other places.

There are so many things to see and discover.

In China, they have mountains that look like rainbows.

Really? Rainbow mountains?

I know!

Doesn't that sound amazing?

But Ace said I was going to be the first railway engine

to go all the way around the world.

Then I can be the second.

Besides, why isn't Ace here, huh?

Why isn't he helping you?

Because... I don't need any help.

Everybody needs help, Thomas.

Too late now anyway.

Looks like you're stuck with me instead of him, huh?

Ace?

G'day, mate.

Glad you could make it.

Glad I could make it?

I didn't know where you'd gone or which ship to get on.

And I don't even know where to go next after Rio.

Well, that's the best way, free and easy.

Take it as it comes.

But why didn't you wait for me?

You didn't need me to wait for you.

I knew you'd figure it out by yourself.

You want to be a free spirit, don't you, Thomas?

Like me, seeing the sights, doing your own thing.

You don't need any baggage to tie you down.

Baggage? What baggage?

I heard you two talking.

All I'm saying is,

don't let anyone get in your way.

You don't want someone else telling you what to do.

You want to have fun, don't you?

See you in port, Thomas.

I should get a little shut-eye before the next race.

Good night, mate.

Oh, listen to that music.

We are in Rio de Janeiro, Thomas.

Brazil, South America.

Ace?

We're running a bit late.

Oh, there you are.

Continent number two, Thomas,

South America, olé.

The next race is a cross-country rally

which goes through the Amazon, the rain forest.

A train forest?

Does that mean there are tracks there?

Of course.

There are bound to be tracks.

It's not hot, dry sand.

So that means I can come with you.

Time to get fueled up for the race, Thomas.

Was that...

Ace? Yes.

He's getting fueled up for the race through the Amazon.

Oh, and I need to get fueled up too,

or I'll be left behind again.

Okay, okay, where are you going, my friend?

I'm going through the Amazon.

The Amazon? With what cargo?

Um, well, uh, I don't have any cargo.

I'm just following the rally.

Do you know Ace?

He's one of the racing cars.

I don't know anything about racing cars.

I work on the railway,

and we don't give out coal and water to engines

unless they're doing something useful.

Oh, but I could be really useful.

I'm always pulling goods trains or passenger coaches

back on Sodor.

Hmm, well, I've got a goods train

going through the Amazon, bound for San Francisco.

If you can take that,

you can fill up with all the coal and water you need.

It's up to you to get this cargo to San Francisco on time.

Bust my buffers, that's an awful lot of coffee.

But I am a really useful engine.

Okay, I'll do it.

I thought your friend was helping you.

Who, Ace?

No!

Me.

Oh, it's you again.

I might have known.

We can take this coffee to San Francisco together.

Fine, then get coupled up.

We need to hurry anyway

if we're gonna catch up with Ace.

Stop for water?

Honestly, Nia.

We don't have time for you to stop and fill your water tanks.

It's not for me.

I have extra tanks, Thomas,

but you must be running low by now.

We're in a hurry, Nia.

We're trying to catch up with...

Ace!

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo!

Hey, Thomas, look at me!

Hey, Ace!

Thomas, what about the... water tower?

Faster, Nia.

Come on.

We need to keep up.

Yee-ha!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Hey, watch it, Hot Wheels.

Your friend Ace is going too fast, you know.

He's going to have an accident.

Nonsense, Nia.

You're just jealous

because we're too slow to keep up with him.

I feel like a speedboat.

Hey, come on, everyone.

We need to keep up with...

Thomas.

Ace, what happened?

Ah, nothing to worry about, mate.

Just a little accident.

One of the hazards of rallying, you know?

I'll make up for lost time on the next race.

But what are you gonna do now?

What I always do: wait until help arrives.

The mechanic's car should be along...

D-did you hear something, Thomas?

I heard something moving in the bushes.

Actually, help has arrived, hasn't it, mate?

Has it? I don't see anybody.

I think he means us, Thomas.

I think Ace wants us to help him.

He's frightened.

No, I'm not.

I just don't get scared that easily.

I mean, it's just that I-I need to get out of here,

uh, to get my bumper straightened.

Uh, plus, I think I got two flat tires

but only one spare and... wh...

And... and there's a wild animal coming.

I don't like wild animals.

It's only a little monkey.

Oh, look at him.

- Hello. - Help, Thomas!

Load me up! Put me on a car!

I need to get out of here!

So, uh, which way you heading next, anyway?

Yeah, I'm out of this race,

but if I can get fixed up

and taken to the salt flats in time, I can...

What are you doing?

Why are you stopping here?

Sorry, but my tank is empty.

This is serious, folks.

We need to keep going.

But we can't go anywhere if Thomas doesn't have water.

I can't pull the whole train by myself,

and I'm going to need water soon too.

I should have stopped at that water tower.

Maybe we can use leaves.

- Leaves? - Yes.

Leaves can be used to make all kinds of things:

baskets, toys, clothes, and even houses.

Leaves can be very useful materials,

and they have some really big leaves

here in the rain forest,

so we could make a funnel

and funnel rainwater into your water tank, Thomas.

♪ Hey, hey ♪

♪ Hooah, hooah ♪

Yay!

Wow, Nia, that worked a treat.

Well done.

Thanks.

To the salt flats.

About time.

Um, has anyone seen this tank engine?

Huh? Blue with a number 1 on the side of him.

He's called Thomas.

A blue engine?

No.

But I have an orange hat.

- Oh. - May I take a look?

Whoa, not again.

Yes, I've seen that tank engine.

I loaded him onto a ship

heading for Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

Brazil?

Oh, good hat, a kofia.

Most becoming.

Anyone have a rain cover by any chance?

I mean, I do like to keep my paintwork dry if I can,

at least while I'm not driving.

Maybe we can make you a rain cover from leaves.

That might not be such a good idea, you know, Thomas.

Wild animals like to take shelter under leaves.

Ace doesn't like wild animals.

What happened there?

Don't ask me. I have no idea at all.

The track is moving.

We're sinking.

The ground is too wet and too soft.

Hurry, Thomas, push on.

We must find solid ground, or we'll get stuck.

- Keep going. - Don't stop.

You heard what the cars said.

Come on, Nia, work harder!

Full steam together, Thomas.

One, two, three.

Go, go, go, go!

Oh, that was close.

- Nice going. - Thank you.

Whoa!

Whoa, oh, oh, no.

Oh, no! Oh, no!

I don't like water either.

No!

Phew.

Everyone okay back there?

Yes, thanks.

Remind me, Thomas, never to travel as a passenger again.

I feel a lot safer when it's me own wheels on the road.

Good thing you don't get scared, eh, Ace?

I wasn't saying I was scared.

Oh, well, I definitely was.

That was scary.

Yes, it was, but we managed to make it.

We're a good team, eh?

Aren't we, Thomas?

That's not what I was trying to say.

That's the only way I roll.

Yes, yes, I saw this engine.

He was the one taking the coffee to San Francisco.

San Francisco?

That's what I just said.

- Oh. - It's party time.

Huh? Oh, oh.

Come on, everyone!

Party, party, party!

Hmm.

Howdy.

Hello there!

G'day!

Hello!

How are you? How are your wheels?

How's your boiler? How are your pistons?

Wow, looks like we're moving up in the world.

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Whoo!

Hoo-hoo!

Okay, guys, you really need to take me

straight to the Utah Salt Flats.

That's where the next rally's gonna be held.

North America, continent number three.

But we're meant to be being useful, Ace.

People are waiting for this coffee in San Francisco.

The salt flats are not on our way.

You can make them be on your way if you want to.

And delivering Ace would be really useful too, Nia.

Only for Ace.

And it's also important to keep your promises, Thomas.

There are people waiting for this coffee.

Well, I'll tell you something that's even more important

than being useful or keeping promises:

having fun.

And racing is fun.

Isn't that right, Thomas?

I know how to have fun too, you know.

Want to know something else that's fun?

No, no, no, no, no, no, Nia, don't!

Whoa!

Whoo!

Aw.

Thomas!

Oops.

Sorry.

Ah, never you mind, now, darlin'.

No harm done.

Okay, good-bye.

Bye.

Oh, it is very hard to see through the trees,

but he is a steam engine, correct?

So perhaps we might spot the steam coming up.

Oh, is that him?

Over there?

No, that's just a cooking fire in a village.

Oh.

That was a bit dangerous back there, guys.

All that foolishness, going backwards on the slope.

I thought you liked danger, Ace.

I saw the way you were taking those corners

back in the rain forest.

Yeah, well, that's different.

That's racing, and racing has different rules.

It's every car for himself,

and we're all our own bosses, if you know what I mean.

Nobody's coupled up to anybody else.

Hey, you should try it.

You and Thomas should split the train in two

and each pull your own half of it, free and easy.

But we're all going to San Francisco together.

Of course we are,

but we'd get there quicker if you were racing there,

and the coffee would definitely get delivered on time.

Unless you're worried that you can't keep up with Thomas.

Of course I can.

Beautiful. Now, that's more like it.

Let's deliver this coffee as fast as we can.

Everybody ready?

I'm ready!

How about you, Nia?

Think you can keep up with Thomas?

Tss! Watch me go!

On your marks.

Get set.

Go!

Ha, ha, I can catch you.

Yes, that's the spirit!

Ah, whoo!

Whoa, look at her go!

Huh?

She really is fast.

You're getting lazy, Thomas.

Keep up! Whoo!

Not too fast.

Pace yourself, Thomas.

Let her get ahead a bit.

Why? It's a race.

Because we're gonna play a little trick on Nia.

What kind of trick?

A joke, Thomas. Come on.

Don't be a baby.

It'll be funny and fun.

You'll see.

Turn off here.

Okay, Ace.

But where are we going?

The salt flats!

The salt flats?

Expresso coming through!

Mate, we don't need Nia.

We can decide for ourselves what we want to do.

We can go to the salt flats for the next rally.

It'll be so much fun.

Take your brakes off already.

We're on a roll!

Whoa!

That's it, Thomas.

Ah, faster!

Keep your cool, Thomas.

You can handle it.

Hold the road.

This is the kind of ride I like!

Whoo-hoo!

Whoa!

You beaut!

Oh, yeah, whoo!

Come on.

Whoa!

Oof.

- Yeah! - Hey!

Eh?

Oh!

- Whoa! - Oh, no!

Is everyone okay?

That was great!

No, it wasn't, Ace.

It was silly.

Eeee!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Oh, no!

Whoa!

Oh, whew, oh.

Wow, Thomas, what a ride. Whoo!

We should have stayed with Nia.

It wasn't nice to play a trick on her.

Well, would you look at you?

No wonder you're lying in the dust, cowboy.

This is not the wild west anymore.

There's a speed limit for a reason.

Yes, I know. We were going too fast.

But somebody needs to fetch the breakdown crane.

Breakdown crane? Breakdown crane?

Eh, you sure do talk funny.

Where y'all from, anyway?

The island of Sodor.

Well, we don't get many breakdown cranes around here.

But what happens when

a train comes off the rails?

Well, sometimes they just lie there in the dust

and get dusty, like you.

Unless it rains, of course.

Then they tend to lie there in the mud and get rusty.

Ha, dusty or rusty.

Or if there's enough folk to do it,

we use people power to lift them back onto the rails.

People power?

Sure, people power, horsepower, whatever,

just as long as we can find the people or the horses.

Wait! Come back!

I really hope that Nia is okay.

Thomas, do they have wild animals here?

A snake!

Thomas!

Howdy.

It's horsepower, Ace,

and people power.

Whoo-hoo-hoo, help has arrived!

All right, easy now.

Let's go.

Here we go, boys.

That's it now.

Hold on, that's it.

That's it right down there.

All right.

Yeah, that's it!

Oh! Ah, bust my buffers.

Oh, thank you.

That was amazing.

Ah, it weren't nothin'.

Uh, let's hit the road, Thomas.

Heh, hope you won't be late for whatever it was

you were in such a rush to be gettin' to, now.

Thanks again for all your help.

Ah. Bye.

Happy trails.

Mosey along, now.

Y'all come back now, you hear?

So long, partner.

Adios, amigo.

They sure do talk funny.

Uh, he's blue with a big number 1.

Perhaps you've seen him delivering coffee from Brazil.

From Brazil?

Oh, yes, of course.

I know the tank engine that brought the coffee from Brazil.

Oh, but she didn't look like that tank engine.

Sorry.

Uh, oh.

Oh, thank you anyway.

Have a nice day.

Oh, Thomas, where are you?

Doesn't it look like the moon, Thomas?

Don't you feel like you're in outer space?

But, Ace, what...

Welcome to the salt flats, Thomas,

the home of speed.

I'm not supposed to be in the salt flats, Ace,

and I'm worried about Nia.

We must have hurt her feelings, racing off

and leaving her behind like that.

Yeah, well, remind me

never to do you any favors again, Thomas.

Lighten up.

You know I had to get back here before the next rally.

But...

Oh, whoo, yeah,

these are my people.

They can get me fixed up and back on my wheels in no time.

Feel the heat, Angelique.

My engine is on fire.

I'm ready to roll.

Continent number three, here we come.

Hey, Tony!

Ace!

There you are.

We thought we lost you back in the Amazon.

Oh, yeah, sorry about that.

I-I caught the slow train.

Slow?

Yeah, didn't mean to be an old stick in the mud.

Oh, Tony didn't finish the Brazilian course either.

Oh, don't remind me.

By the time they picked me up,

I had tiny frogs hopping all over me.

Ugh.

This is gonna be a hot one.

I love the salt flats.

What a place for racing.

Hey, Thomas, where are you going?

I have something important to do.

Yeah, but what about the rally?

I thought you wanted to be the first railway engine

to go all the way around the world.

That doesn't matter now.

I've got to find Nia and say sorry.

Oh, really?

Well, sure.

Maybe I'll see you in China.

Asia, continent number four.

You have to complete this course first, Ace.

Whoa.

Bet you're glad it's a dry one.

Mind my bumper.

I think it's a bit loose.

Good luck in the rally, Ace.

Thanks. See you, mate.

Welcome to California, the Golden State.

My name is Natalie, and I'll be your shunter today.

Anything I can help you with... coal, water, piston grease?

Actually, yes, there is.

I'm looking for a tank engine called Nia.

She was bringing coffee from Brazil.

She's orange and has two extra cylinder tanks.

Hmm, now, let me see.

We do get a lot of engines passing through here, you know.

Ah, yes, I remember that one.

From Kenya, super helpful.

Oh, yes, that's her.

Do you know where she is?

Yes, she said she was going to China.

China? How am I ever gonna find her now?

I guess she wanted to be super helpful someplace else.

Thanks.

Aah! Oh, Thomas.

Huh, I heard Thomas' whistle.

Hey, huh.

Oh.

Excuse me, Mr. Crane.

Uh-huh.

You have to load me

onto a ship bound for China straightaway.

Oh, do I, now?

Please? I'm trying to catch up with someone,

someone I need to talk to.

That's some distance to go for a talk.

Must be a good friend.

Yes, she is.

Aren't you Thomas from the island of Sodor?

I think I met you at the great railway show.

Oh, hello, I remember you.

You're Yong Bao.

That's right.

But what are you doing in China, Thomas?

Oh, I'm looking for a friend.

A friend from Sodor?

No, a friend from Africa.

I met a steam engine from Africa this morning.

You did?

Yes, she was heading for Zhangye Danxia.

Zhangye Danxia?

Yes, the Rainbow Mountains.

The Rainbow Mountains? Of course.

Thanks, thanks!

If you're going to the mountains,

Nia?

Nia!

Nia!

Nia! It's me, Thomas!

I'm sorry, Nia. I really am.

I didn't want to play a trick on you.

It wasn't my idea. It was Ace's.

And that makes it all right, does it?

No.

Because I went along with it.

Nia, please, I'm sorry!

Sorry!

Do you really mean that, Thomas?

Yes, Nia, I do.

Nia, look out!

No, Nia, go forward!

There's a tunnel! You'll be safe!

Nia!

Hold on, Nia. I'm coming!

Ready?

I'm going to pull you up now, okay?

Are you sure, Thomas?

Maybe you should wait for help.

Don't worry, Nia. I'm going to rescue you.

I can do this by myself.

Thomas!

I can't hold you!

Help! Help!

Hold on! I'm coming!

I've got you.

Oh, thank you!

Good thing I came along

when I did, Thomas.

Oh, Nia, I should never have tried to rescue you by myself.

That was really dangerous.

I needed help.

Everybody needs help sometimes, Thomas,

even me.

And we're all safe now.

Thanks to Yong Bao.

I still can't believe how close that was.

You really gave me a fright, Thomas.

Let's never do that again, okay?

Fine with me, Yong Bao.

Oh, I'm just glad you're bigger and stronger than I am.

We are bigger and stronger too, Thomas,

when we stay together.

So where are you going now, Thomas?

Back to Sodor.

And then Thomas will be the first railway engine

to go all the way around the world.

No, Nia, we both will be.

If you want to go to Sodor,

you have to go west through Asia and Europe.

So Europe must be

the last continent on your route, Thomas.

Continent number five.

Thanks, Yong Bao.

Bye!

Go safely now.

Bye!

What's wrong, Thomas?

On the other side of that bridge is Sodor, Nia.

And when I get there, I'll be home again.

But I guess that means

that you'll have to go home again too.

That's not so easy for me, Thomas.

The shed I used to live in isn't even there anymore.

- It isn't? - No, Thomas.

I don't really have a home to go back to.

You don't?

Oh, Nia, I'm so sorry.

But that means you can come and stay on Sodor with me.

I'm sure Sir Topham Hatt won't mind.

He loves having new engines to help out on his railway.

Come on, Nia.

Thomas, you were gone so long,

we thought you were never going to come home.

Even I missed you, Thomas.

Congratulations, Thomas.

And who might this be?

Oh, Mr. Percival, this is my friend Nia.

I wouldn't have made it without her.

- Hi, Nia. - Hello.

Welcome to Sodor.

Thank you, and hello to all of you too.

Nia is going to be staying here with us.

I just need to speak to Sir Topham Hatt.

But I thought he'd be with you.

Me? Why me?

Because he went looking for you.

We thought he must have found you

and was bringing you home again.

So if he's not with you...

Then where in the world is he?

Oh, I don't suppose you've seen this tank engine,

blue with a number 1 on the side of him.

He's called...
