Thomas & Friends: The Mystery of Lookout Mountain

The Mystery of Lookout Mountain.

Are you sure this is a good idea, Thomas?

Come on, we've been inside the old mine a thousand times.

- - Huh?

Percy! Come on, it's fine!

I don't know...

Diesel said funny things have been happening here.

But, Percy, I thought you loved to laugh!

I don't think he meant "ha-ha" funny.

He meant, "watch out" funny.

I know...

- - ...but look.

There's my load of old rails ready to go to Whiff's.

It's a serious job!

Maybe, but I'm supposed to pick up two carts full of dirt

for McColl's Farm and...

I don't see them anywhere!

Maybe they were stolen by a Mine Monster!

A Mine Monster?

Your dirt cars are right here, Percy.

Right.

Now, come get hitched up and let's roll!

Roll... oll... oll...

- The echo! -

- Hello! - Hello! Ello! Ello!

- I'm Percy! - Percy... ercy... ercy...

- That's not scary at all! - All... all... all...

Whoa! What was that?

I don't know...

but... one of my dirt carts...

is missing!

Percy, they're both right... there?

Percy! One of the carts is missing!

- Percy? -

Maybe... we should just deliver the old rails to Whiff's

and leave the dirt carts for another time?

But then we wouldn't finish your delivery!

I'm totally okay with that!

Um, maybe it should be canceled on account of scary!

I know it seems scary, but we have a job to do.

We have to find out where your missing dirt cart went!

There has to be a reason it disappeared.

I already told you!

A monster stole the cart.

A Mine Monster!

Ah!

- - Huh?

Hey...

...mystery solved!

The cave rumble shook the carts over here.

And then they rolled down there.

Let's go find them!

Wait, but what caused the rumbling?

I'll tell ya... the Mine Monster!

I don't wanna go down there, do you?

Not really...

but I do wanna know what happened to the carts!

Come on, it'll be...

an adventure.

Whoa!

An adventure is climbing Lookout Mountain

or racing through Crumble Canyon.

Not searching for monsters and...

Hmm...

Why are we stopping?

We have to pick which tunnel to take.

You pick.

Okay.

Chugga-chugga, clickity clack,

bust-a-bumper and I pick this track!

Whoa, the echo is even better here.

Knock, knock!

Who's there?

That... shouldn't... happen.

- Hello? - Ello, ello...

Hi!

See? Mine monster!

Maybe the Mine Monster ate my dirt carts!

But there has to be a better explanation than that!

Oh, good.

What is it?

I'm sorry, what is what?

The better explanation?

Oh! Well...

What was that "poom" sound?

We didn't hear that before!

The... the... Mine Monster spit out the carts.

Maybe he likes the taste of engines better!

Let's get outta here!

- Hey, guys. - Hey, Diesel!

Got another load of scrap for ya, Carly!

Awesome!

We can melt down this old junk to make something new!

Whoa!

Listen to that furnace roar!

Melt that steel into a brand-new wheel!

Shape that pail into a shiny new rail!

Turn that bike into a railroad spike!

All this machinery is pretty loud, huh, Bruno?

Do you wanna put your steam headphones on?

Ah... thank you, Diesel.

What's the matter with you guys?

It's loud enough in here without you yelling, "Ahh!"

What are you doing here, Percy?

You're scheduled to pick up two carts of dirt at the mine

and move them to McColl's Farm.

I know, I was getting the dirt carts for farmer McColl, but...

If Farmer McColl doesn't get the dirt,

the crops won't get planted.

We can explain!

But if the crops aren't planted, there'll be no food to harvest.

And if there's no food to harvest...

Bruno...

Right. Deep breath.

Focus on what is here now...

Okay... shaky wheels...

- frowning faces... -

...erratic steam clouds...

I think you're... scared?

You bet your brakes we're scared!

Uh-huh. Percy's dirt carts disappeared in the mine.

There was lots of rumbling and howling.

And our voices echoed throughout the tunnels.

And then our echoes talked back to us!

That's right! And then the dirt carts came back on their own.

And then we went...

We got out of there as fast as we could...

And now we're here.

Hey! I was supposed to pick up some empty carts

from the mine yesterday, but they weren't there!

Me, too!

The same thing happened to me the other day.

Gordon sent me to the mines to pick up some carts

full of old rail ties,

but when I got there, they were gone!

Sounds to me...

like a Mine Monster.

Right? That's what I said.

There are no such things as Mine Monsters.

But I know the schedule report last week stated

that the same thing happened to Kana and James.

Wow. That is kinda spooky.

Yeah! And we didn't even tell you what happened

when I said "Knock, knock!"

- - Who's there?

Danger.

Danger who?

W... What do ya mean, Bruno? What danger?

I mean the sign.

There! That sign jammed the conveyor belt!

This was in Diesel's load of scrap!

The red X on the sign means danger.

Like Mine Monster danger?

And where is the danger?

I mean... it looks like it's on a mountain!

Hey!

What if the danger is in the mountain?

Like... in a mine?

Hmm, the mine is under a mountain.

If this is for the mine...

does that mean the mine is dangerous?

Come on, gang.

This sign is probably a bajillion years old!

It could mean anything.

Yeah... like there was a monster in the mines

a bajillion years ago and it came back!

A bajillion is not a real number.

Diesel's right.

See Thomas, I told ya there was a monster in the mines.

Now we can never go back to the mines ever again!

Not even the Crystal Cavern?

I love the Crystal Cavern!

Talking all at once isn't going to help.

We need to find someone who knows the real story behind the sign.

But... who would that be?

- Huh? - Whoa!

Well, that experiment didn't work!

Oh! Hello, everyone!

Uh-oh, serious faces.

Is everything all right?

Hi, Whiff! It's...

Hey... you might know!

Might know what?

I love knowing things!

What thing am I maybe knowing?

It's about this danger sign over here.
