EXT. SODOR-RAILYARD-DAY

We experience a grey sky. It was cloudy outside. The sun was not out, no birds singing, and it might rain again. We tilt down to see the Engine Sheds in the rail yard.

In the sheds, there was THOMAS and EDWARD. They looked very sad.

THOMAS: What are we going to do, Edward?

EDWARD: Continue on as usual. It's what Sir Topham Hatt would have wanted us to do.

THOMAS: But things have gone wrong since he left. A blown goods shed and now a derailed train. Whatever could happen next?

EDWARD thought for a moment. Then he glances over at THOMAS.

EDWARD: Thomas, I'm starting to think Toby is right.

THOMAS: About Brian?

EDWARD: Yes. I think he may have caused the derailment.

THOMAS: What makes you say that?

Fade Up: Music

EDWARD: Yesterday, I saw both Brian and his Driver at my station.

Dissolve to:

EXT. Sodor-Edward's station-flashback

We are at flashback on EDWARD'S story about what he saw yesterday. EDWARD is there in the flashback and he is moving forward and saw BRIAN at the station. EDWARD gets suspicious and tries to see what he was doing. The Driver had something in his arm. We can barely see what he has. The Driver climbs into the cab of BRAIN. We then hear EDWARD'S voice.

Edward (V.O.): The Driver had something around his arm. I couldn't see what it was. And then he just climbed into the cab and they take off.

BRIAN takes off down the line, leaving EDWARD very suspicious about it.

EDWARD (V.O. Continued): And I believe it or not, they were on the same line James was on.

dissolve to:

EXT. SODOR-RAILYARD-DAY

We return back to the present day as EDWARD concludes his story.

EDWARD: That's when I realized what it probably was.

THOMAS was worried.

THOMAS: So he is evil.

EDWARD: I'm afraid so. But I'm personally 100% sure about it. I'm going to keep an eye on him.

THOMAS: Alright Edward. Please be careful.

EDWARD: I will, Thomas. I will.

THOMAS puffs out of the shed and exits the scene. EDWARD follows him afterwards.

EXT. SODOR-EDWARD'S STATION-DAY

We come back to the station again and EDWARD is there shunting trucks and coaches about in the yard. He couldn't stop thinking about the events that happened over the last two days. It was really bothering him.

He was backing up to get hooked up to some trucks when he heard a diesel. EDWARD knew it wasn't BoCo because he was at the Works. He glances over and spots BRIAN coming into the yard. BRIAN was going past the station. EDWARD whispers to himself.

EDWARD: It's Brian. Why is he here? Shouldn't he be at the Big Station now?

BRIAN was not stopping. He went through the yard and disappeared.

EDWARD wanted to see what was up.

Edward (cont'd): Driver, can we follow Brian?

EDWARD's DRIVER, who was in the cab, looked puzzled.

Edward's Driver: Why would we do that?

EDWARD: Because I think Brian is up to something. I think he might be the one who is causing all of the trouble here on the Island.

EDWARD'S DRIVER: Edward, we have duties here. We must do our work. We can't go following other engines.

EDWARD: Please Driver. We must find out. He could be the reason why all of this happened.

EDWARD's DRIVER paused for a moment. He sighs.

EDWARD'S DRIVER: Alright. But we have to be very quiet.

EDWARD moves forward. He clatters over the points and onto the main line to follow BRIAN.

fade to:

EXT. SODOR-LIFT bridge-day

Fade Up: Music

We see BRIAN enter the scene on the lift bridge. He crosses all the way over until he is in England. After that, EDWARD follows him on the bridge, going slow enough so that BRIAN does not hear him.

cut to:

EXT England-Scrapyard-evening

BRIAN enters the scene and goes into the graveyard for steam engines. After that, EDWARD appears slowly moving pass the sign that says Johnson's on it.

As EDWARD is still following BRIAN, he can see the whole yard. He looks around and sees all of the steam engines lined up in cold damp sidings looking very old and rusted up. EDWARD starts to get the chills in his boiler. It gets even worse when he stumbles upon the dead ones as well. EDWARD couldn't help, but feel sad for those engines, and hoped, deep down in his heart, that the engines were at peace.

At last, EDWARD looks up ahead and stops. BRIAN has stopped as well. Very faintly, he could see THE MASTER walking towards him. EDWARD tried to hear their conversation.

THE MASTER: We have a situation right now.

BRIAN: What's that?

THE MASTER: None of the diesels working on British Railways want to be part of the army.

BRIAN: And why is that?

THE MASTER: Because they said they have better things to do rather than scrapping steam engines.

EDWARD was surprised.

EDWARD (to himself): Army? What for?

We return back to our villains.

BRIAN: You know, Master, we should actually build an army for ourselves. Why don't you build them out of the bodies of the steam engines. Like you did with the Beast.

THE MASTER smiles. He liked that plan.

THE MASTER: That is brilliant! Then we will have our army and take over Sodor. By doing that, we'll melt down the bodies of these engines to create parts for our diesels. Then we will eliminate all of the steam engines there, and then the other heritage railways in the entire country.

EDWARD, his Driver, and his Fireman all gasped.

Edward's Fireman: Oh no! They're going to take over our railway and then destroy all of the steam engines in Great Britain!

EDWARD'S Driver: C'MON Edward! We have to warn the others!

EDWARD quickly reverses to get out of the scrapyard. But he bumps into something behind him. EDWARD looks back and sees another diesel.

The Diesel: You're not going anywhere!

EDWARD: Uh-Oh.

The Diesel pushes EDWARD towards the front of the screen. EDWARD was now scared.

INT. SODOR-BIG STATION-DAY

Meanwhile back on the Island of Sodor, before all of this happened, THOMAS was at the big station with his two coaches, ANNIE and CLARABEL.

CLOSE UP: Thomas

Passengers were boarding his coaches one by one as usual. THOMAS was going to take another trip down his branch line until he reaches the top station.

We hear CARLY calling his name.

CARLY: Thomas!...Thomas!...

THOMAS looks over to his left.

CARLY enters the scene on the right.

THOMAS: What's wrong, Carly?

CARLY was looking very worried.

CARLY: Thomas... Edward went to the Other Railway earlier today.

Thomas (gasps): What?! Why would he do that?

CARLY: From what I've heard, one of the signalmen caught him following Brian there.

THOMAS stares at her. Then he sighs. He knew what was going on. CARLY could tell he knew about something by the expression on his face.

CARLY (CONT'D): Thomas? Is there something you want to tell me?

THOMAS takes a deep breath.

THOMAS: Edward told me he was going to keep an eye on Brian. He wants to know what he's up to.

CARLY stares at him. She puts her right hand on her face.

CARLY: Oh my gosh... This is very bad. Those Diesels could mistake him for an escaping engine... he could be killed!

THOMAS looks at her for a few seconds-then he closes his eyes for a moment.

Then he spoke.

THOMAS: I'm going out there and find him. He could be in trouble.

CARLY was shocked at the idea. So were ANNIE and CLARABEL.

ANNIE AND CLARABEL: No Thomas! It's too dangerous!

CARLY: Plus, think about your passengers!

THOMAS: I know it's dangerous, but Edward is my friend. He's been one of my closest friends since we both arrived on Sodor in 1923. I must save him.

CARLY: But what about your passengers? What are they going to do?

PERCY enters the scene in reverse beside THOMAS.

PERCY: Don't worry, Thomas. I'll look after them.

THOMAS glances at PERCY. PERCY smiles and winks at him. THOMAS smiles back.

Fade Up: Music

CARLY was speechless about the arrangement.

CARLY: Well if you're going to rescue Edward, then I'm going with you!

THOMAS: No Carly. It's too...

CARLY interrupts

CARLY: I didn't ask you, Thomas. I'm going with you.

LILY: You're not going alone Carly, we're going with you!

Carly turns around to see her friends from earlier appear.

LILY: You seriously expect to go on an adventure and not include us?

TANYA: Yeah, what's the big deal?

THOMAS could see the determined look on the teenagers face. He sighs.

THOMAS: Alright. First, let's get a Works Unit Coach, there's no way MORE than three people can climb on board and ride in my cab!

CARLY and her friends smile.

CARLY: I'll let Control know that is to alert every signalman that you are coming. I'll tell them my father said so.

THOMAS stares at her-then he smiles.

CARLY exits the scene on the right. While her friends secure a Works Unit Coach.

THOMAS' DRIVER was lighting up his pipe.

THOMAS' DRIVER: We'll then let's hurry up and find Edward.

He waves the match to blow out the fire and throws it away.
