Look at that. We're here.

We're

here. We've arrived. We're here. Hey,

we've arrived. Come look, everyone. Miss

O'Sullivan, we're almost there.

tom-tom, we're here.

Tom, we've

arrived. Look at that sky. New

York City. Marvellous. Wow,

it's colossal. Look.

What a welcome. It's not for us.

And why shouldn't it be?

Goodbye, kids. Good luck. The same to

you, Miss Burn. Bye, Big Richard.

Good luck, children.

Dad and Uncle Niall looked a lot alike,

didn't they?Yeah,

but Dad was stronger. That's true.

What if Uncle Niall doesn't come?He

answered Nana's letter. I

said he would come. Well, he hasn't.

Hello there.

Hungry.

Are you lost?

What's your name?You look like a

Sparky. That's it. Do you like that

name?Sparky. You can't keep him.

Who said I wanted to keep him?I know

you. It was him who came to me.

Tom, he's a darling.

Please. You can't keep him. Only

until we see Uncle Nile. Seriously, it's

the truth.

Just till we find Uncle Niall. I

promise. You've promised.

Uncle Niall's not coming.

I know. Let's go find him. What?

Well. We have his address,

Mr. Niall

O'Hara, 65th Front

St. Front St.

Sacramento, CA.

California is thousands of

miles from here. Well, then we'll take

the train. You know how much you

love trains, Tom.

The thing is, he has to sign these papers

in less than two weeks. Then there's

only one option. Let's take the train.

But where are you going?

We need to think first, not go madly

steaming ahead. Very well,

older brother. So what shall we do?

Go and find Uncle Niall.

It's your lucky day. The westbound train

leaves in one hour, 7 p.m. on the

dot. Once a week. Two tickets,

please. Where's this

from?From Ireland. In this

country, we pay with American dollars.

I'm sorry, but this is no good. Next.

We've got an hour to make it on the next

train or we won't get there in time. We

have to do something and fast.

Sorry, kiddo, but this isn't even enough

for one ticket. Next.

Only a miracle would get us out of this

one.

Come on, children.

Hurry, kids.

Train leaves in less than 5 minutes.

Tom, our

miracle.

Hurry up. We're late. I

wonder who they are.

Here you are. There are 20 of us.

One, two, three. Stand still. One,

two. The train's about to leave.

1234. Very well. Go ahead.

Last two cars. Please don't run off.

A Baldwin. It's a 280.

What a beauty. You two

don't get separated from the groom.

Pardon me.

Good afternoon, Sir. May I help you with

what makes you think I need your help?Oh,

have a nice day.

What shall we do?All the seats are

taken.

Why don't we have them to come sit withus?

What was it we agreed on?That we would

keep him until we found Uncle Niall. Have

we found him yet?No. Well, there we are.

Let me open the door for you, piss

Come on, kids. Everyone sit down. Be

careful with Nick. There's the weird kid.

Here are your tickets. Don't lose them,

Betty.

And who are you?Oh, we

must be in the wrong car. We were just

leaving. Are you travelling by yourselves?

No. Yes. Our Nana sent us to California

to stay with our uncle. What about you?

Are you going on a trip?We're going to

meet up with new families for our

children. They're orphans.

Like us.

Listen, it's a long journey. It would

be better if you stay with us. If you

need anything, you can count on me. You

can call me Eleanor. Thank you, Miss

Eleanor. I'm Mary. This is my brother

Tom. Pleased to meet you.

David, sit down on your seat, please.

She seems really nice. All

aboard.

Children, behave yourselves.

That will keep you warm.

Where's Mary?

Mary, the ticket inspector.

You guys hide. We have a straton.

Oh, Mr. Walker, you can't tread them

square. Oh,

oh, sorry.

It may be time for me to quit. It's OK.

He's gone. Thank you very much. Shall we

keep playing?Tom, do you want to play

with us?No, thanks.

Well, what about Nick?Him.

He can't do anything. He just sips there.

Mary, where are you going?

Hi. Your name's Nick, isn't it?I'm

Mary.

What's wrong?Are you shy?He's

paralyzed and he can hardly move.

Only very little. What happened to him?

He was born like that. He can't

speak. He doesn't need to.

His look says it all.

Mary, we're waiting! No,

don't worry. See you, Nick!

Stop! Stop You're not going

to let me read in peace, are you?

Stay here. Don't even think about

following me.

Excuse me, damned little

brat. Hey,

but it's not a bone.

I told you, don't follow me. No.

What are you doing?Hey,

boy. What are you doing up there?Darn

it, kid. You can't be up there. Get down

before you break your neck.

Wait a moment. That cap is from the Cork

Railway. Yes, my dad gave it to me.

He was a train conductor in Ireland.

So you're one of ours.

This calls for a celebration. Would you

like to lend us a hand, boy?

Children, first stop.

Nick, Annie, David, John and Tony.

Off you go. Don't leave anything behind.

I'm going to miss you.

Bye.

I'll miss you, Nick. But now you get to

meet your new family. Come on,

sweetheart. Your new home awaits.

The train isn't a threat. We'll take it

easily as you can answer.

Do you know what?As well as being shy,

you're a bit rude. You never say hi to me

when I go by. And we're friends now,

remember?But anyway, I won't hold it

against you. Do you want to play cards?

Great. You didn't say no.

Take that. Your turn.

So that's how it is.

Take that. Let's see what you do now.

What?I should look where?

Oh, my, what a good move. Did you trick

me?Hey, you

laughed. Now we're definitely friends,

aren't we?Time to sleep,

kids. Mary,

thank you for taking care of him. It's

nothing. We're friends,

Mary. Ticket, Inspector.

Oh, Sparky.

There's a there's a flying dog outside

the window.

Oh, sweetheart, this coffee is getting

you too worked up.

Why have we stopped?The train needs to

refuel.

Tom, will you help me?

This isn't a good idea, but we should let

Eleanor know. Miss Eleanor would

definitely let us do it, rightly.

Wow, this is

amazing.

Tom, what if we could pet them for just

one minute?No, this is not a good

idea. Please. Absolutely not.

When have you ever had the chance to see

a real live Buffalo?We'll come straight

back after, I promise.

Please.

I don't know why I let myself get talked

into these things quickly,

OK?

Mary Buffaloes.

Today is the best day of my life.

No, the train. It can't go. It's

still here.

I told you this wasn't a good idea, Mary.

You always get us into trouble. Me. But

you said. It's my fault for listening to

you in the 1st place, but never

again.

Mary, the buffaloes. Here are John

and Jessica's reports. Miss Eleanor. Miss

Eleanor. Not now, Sarah. But but Miss

Eleanor. It's important. Sarah, go to

your seat. Come as soon as I can.

Understood. All right, Miss Eleanor,

but it is important.

Maybe we could follow the track to some

city with that

wheelchair. It'll take forever.

It's not your fault, Nick. You've done

nothing wrong.

It's all right. I'm sure Tom will know

what to do.

Don't even think about it. You just

stay still. OK, OK

He's sore at me. Oh

no. I'm thrilled to be in the middle of

nowhere with no food or

supplies. And

Daz Fiddle was on that train and now

it's gone. Why should

I be angry?Not in the slightest.

What?

This will keep you cool.

You're right.

Come on, then. Help me.

together on this

world All together

on this world This family will be great

for John.

Uh, excuse me one moment.

Listen to us.

Sarah, I can't find Nick. Have you seen

him?Oh, no. The buffaloes. What do you

mean?They got us at the last stop. Oh,

my. Mary, Nick and Tom. I tried to

tell you. Is something the matter?

Mary got off with Nick at the last stop.

Oh, my. We must go back to

gas. Get down, kids. Away from the

windows.

Oh, Mr. Walker, thank goodness you're

here.

Nobody move. Looks like

I picked the wrong day to quit drinking.

Darling.

How are you, Nick?Enjoying the journey?

Oh, yeah. Not even a fun fair would be

better than this. Hmm, that gives me an

idea. No, Mary, no more ideas. Almost

as good as a fun fair! Woo-hoo!

Look, the train stopped.

They're waiting for us. Come

on. Wait here. I'll be back in a moment.

Mary, the Cheyenne tribe must have

attacked the train and taken all the

passengers hostage. Look,

we have to find help. Let's get out of

here.

Oh, come on.

Lice, will you?

All light in a fire is impossible.

See, Nick, my brother can sometimes find

the solution. He just needs a little

motivation.

It's OK. That's what brothers and sisters

are like. And you know what?You're going

to find a family. A perfect family for

you. I know it because I can see the

future. Don't I always get it right when

I read the cards?Since when do you read

cards?Don't listen to him. His memory

sometimes fails him. Let's start.

Diamonds. Diamonds.

Money. That means that you're going to be

a businessman and earn money and...

Well, so you won't be rich and and that

won't matter because... Hearts. That

means you're going to find people who

really love you. Look,

the king of spades and the queen of

clubs. How about that?A

father and a mother. It's crystal clear.

A family, you see, just as I told you. Hmm

Queen of spades. And

you're going to face big dangers and

you'll save all of us and you'll be known

as a great warrior. Don't you believe me?

You think I'm inventing it?Not at all.

Just ask my brother. It's true.

And she can also do magic tricks.

Magic. Yeah. The moment your back is

turned, she can make a train disappear

and leave you in the middle of nowhere.

Here we go. Sometimes you're a

drag. Always the same again

and again. And you're a little. No, a

lot irresponsible. And you so.

Strut loose. I mean straight.

Straight legs. Right. Thanks.

You're welcome. Well,

we'd better get some sleep. He's right

about that.

tom-tom.

Mary?When I say go, run towards the

handcar with Nick and get on it.

Come on then, come and get me! Tom! Go

on, Mary!

Tom!

Mary, get the handcart rolling!

Nick, thank you.

Tom, are you OK?

Little sis, you're going to have to put

up with me for a long time.

Why are we stopping?We've run out of

water.

Well, we've lost the train. Haven't found

Uncle Nile. Coyotes have chased us.

Nothing else bad is going to happen,right?

You couldn't have just kept quiet.

What?Mary, whatever happens, I'll come

back for you. Tom,

what are you going to do with my brother?

Don't hurt him, please. Why did you

attack the train?What are you going to do

to us?

You attacked the

train and captured

all the passengers. But that's

not fair because

we good. All the

passengers good us

friends. What is wrong

with your mouth?Why

do you speak so

slowly?You speak our language.

Mary Tom,

are you all right?Yes. The Cheyennes

speak our language. I know that

man has medicine and he's healing my leg.

They're so kind. Does that surprise you?

Are you not kind to your guests where you

come from?They didn't attack the train,

but there were arrows in it. Not our

arrows. A group of bandits has been

causing trouble. So they tried to blame

it on you. Yes, that is what they do.

In any case, we have to go and look for

the people from the train. Rest your leg.

It will take at least three nights to

heal. For now, you are our guests.

My name is Yellow Wolf, chief of the

Cheyenne, the Tatistas and Suta

people. We welcome you

and you. Do you

not speak?You can't.

Sorry, Grandfather. This is my

granddaughter, Red Moon Woman.

Welcome. She'll be your guide during your

stay in our village.

Help me. Oh, no. Come.

He's so cute.

Sparky.

Now let's give our guests a welcome

ceremony.

Mahiyum

Savit.

Savitch. Piva.

Allow the spirits that surround us to

make the good in your hearts. Enjoy

our food, our people, ohh and our

sacred land.

Care to dance?

My Nana used to say you should never give

up. That's why I never stop when there's

an obstacle in front of me. Promise me

you'll do the same. Hmm

Come on, sleepyheads. It's a beautiful

day. I want to show you things that we do

here.

So far away, we brought a smile in

our face. Let's be just what we want to

be. Show

me that things you

like. Teach me

to reach the sky.

Show me how

egos lie. Teach

me to laugh and smile.

It's just a couple of days So we

have no time to waste The world is

there for us to see

We come from so far away We

bring a smile in our face Let's be

just what we want to be

Show me the

things you like Teach

Teach me to love

and smile It's just a

couple of days So we have no time

to waste And everyone is there for us

pace Let's be just what we want to

You like her, don't you?I

mean, she's not a train, but-- Stop it!

Just-- Hey!What are you all talking about?

Nothing. No one. Definitely not you.

You know what?Sports always makes me

hungry. No,

no, no, noNot the green ones. Why?

What's wrong with them?You didn't eat

any, did you?

That's how we communicate with eachother.

My warriors have found pale faces.

It is time to go back to your people.

Hey, what happened?

ohh

Thank you for everything. You'll always

be in our hearts. May wisdom and the

stars guide you. If you need

us,

use this. It's the sound

of the eagle.

Wow! Grandfather seems to really likeyou.

Head that way. You'll find your people.

Thank you, Red Moon.

I. Go on. No, no

You go ahead. It's just that.

Well, I I mean, we

we're going to miss you.

Goodbye.

Nick and I think she likes you.

You reckon?Hello! Hi!

Over here! Damn it. Where

are they coming from?Hello.

Thanks for waiting for us.

Hold on. I know you. You were on the

train with us, weren't you?

Yes. What happened?We got off the train

at one of the stops and it left without

us. The Cheyenne attacked us,

but we escaped. The Cheyenne. They

would have done terrible things to you if

they'd found you. Oh, no, they're not

like the books say. They're nice people.

Nice savages.

Where are the other passengers?Safe and

sound near here. Follow us.

You're lucky to be alive,

Dudley.

Okay, here we go.

Howdy. Howdy, Parker. Safe travels.

They've taken them prisoner.

Fresh blood. Put them to work. Yes, boss.

Don't you know how to walk?He needs his

chair. Useless.

Sparky, you give out the

water. What do we do with this one?

He's no good for anything. Get rid of

him. No, no way. He can help us fetch

water with this wheel. Sir, we have a

problem in the north section of the mine.

There's been a collapse. I just got here

and you're already coming to me with

problems. What do we do with the kid?

Yeah, yeah, he can help with the water.

And if it doesn't work, get rid of him.

You heard him. Move.

Come with me. The boss is calling. You

come here. Come on. Nick. Tom.

Mary. Eleanor. Eleanor. My goodness,

Nick, I was so

worried. Thank you for looking after

Nick. It was my pleasure. These are fun.

Back to work. Now.

You started out on the wrong foot, boy.

It was an accident. He's just a child.

Stop right there.

You're no use to me, Dad. Next time,

I won't be so merciful. Now get back to

your positions.

Take the redhead to the naughty

corner.

Come on, Mary. You need to eat.

This is a nightmare. Don't worry. When

they discover a train has been attacked,

they'll come and look for us. It's just a

matter of time. I'm sorry, but it could

be more than a month until they find out

what happened to us. And that's the best

case scenario. There must be some way out

of here. Are

you OK?Yeah.

Thank you. No, thank you. Since we

got here, you've done nothing but look

after us. After me.

Always taking care of us all. And somehow

you turn this gloomy place into something

brighter.

Oh.

Tom. What?Why aren't you

sleeping?You're not sleeping either.

Because I see you're worried.

We have to stay positive. That's what Dad

always used to say. Well, Dad isn't

here anymore. Neither is Ma. It's just

you and me. And Nick,

I don't know if I can do it. Oh, Tom,

I'm the older brother, Mary. It's my

responsibility to get us to Uncle Nile

safe and sound.

Sometimes I wish you were the older one.

Tom, I feel safe with you watching over

me. Don't be afraid. I know you're

here at my side and Nick loves

you. I can see it in his eyes.

You're trying to make me feel better. No,

I'm saying the truth. I promise you.

I love you, little sis. Love you too, big

bro.

Anybody for water?

You talking to me?

We're gonna get out of here. There is a

way. We just have to find it.

Look out! Move!

Hey, you lovebirds. Get back to

work.

Move!

Uh, what are you looking at?

Oh, we can't eat those again. Do you

remember what happened last time?

Thanks.

Thank you. You two

take the water to the tower. Yes, Sir.

Oh, it's going to be impossible to get up

there with me. Tom, you 2 go upstairs.

I'll take care of me. Thanks.

Hey, you don't have to carry

everything, you know.

This is all the gold we got last week.

This isn't enough. Double or triple the

shifts. But Sir, they're already doing

more than 15 hours a day. And do you

think I give a damn?

Maybe you need me to show you how to use

the whip. Sir,

we've got as much as we can.

You make sure this mine disappears in two

days and the prisoners.

Your journey ends here.

They're planning to kill us all. Good

heavens. We have to find a way to escape

before the two days are up. We just need

some outside help. Help from who?Of

course. The Cheyenne. They helped us when

we were lost. That's a great idea, Nick.

The Cheyenne. They really are our

friends. But we can't get out of here.

We're chained up. Well, we're not chained

up. Even without chains, it's impossible

to get out of the mine. There's guards

all over the place. We have to find a way

to distract them.

I have a plan.

Oh, I can't sleep. I miss

Sparky. He's a smart dog.

I'm sure he'll be OK. Don't

worry, I'll play you a lullaby. My dad

always did.

That song was my brother's favourite. It

was my dad's favourite too. Well, your

father had good taste. Yeah, and he

had red hair like you.

I remember that day. That was the

first time my brother took me out on the

trains. Uncle Niall.

Tom. Mary.
