00:00I was feeling really at home in Italy, but there were still things I found new and confusing.
00:10Luckily, I could always ask my new friend, Gina.
00:15But I still don't understand why it's wonky, and what's holding it up, Gina?
00:21Uno, due, tre, quattro, cinque...
00:27What are they saying, Gina?
00:29Why are these tracks as twisty as spaghetti, Gina?
00:34Thomas?
00:36Sorry, too many questions?
00:39No, I like your curiosity, Thomas.
00:43Oh, what's going on over there?
00:46Thomas, wait!
00:48Fermatemi, pericolo, dynamite!
00:55Dynamite?
00:58Thomas!
01:07Sorry.
01:09You need to be careful. Curiosity can get you into trouble, too, you know.
01:16Thomas! Gina! You won't believe it!
01:20I was digging the foundations for the new museum, and I discovered something nobody realized was here!
01:28The lost engine?
01:31Oh, Thomas, that's just a story.
01:35No, it's something really big!
01:38A whole ancient Roman palace!
01:44Wow!
01:46Wait.
01:48That's just a column.
01:50That column's just a teeny bit of it. The rest is underground, waiting to be dug up.
01:56I don't get it. Why did the ancient Romans build palaces underground?
02:01They didn't. The palace only ended up underground over thousands of years.
02:07You see, when it was first built, it would have been standing right in front of us, on top of the ground.
02:13Where are you going, Esther? Aren't you going to help dig the palace up?
02:17No, my job is still to dig the foundations for the new museum.
02:21They can't build on the site of the ancient palace, so they're now going to build a museum over here.
02:29But it'll take ages to clear all that by yourself. Don't you have a team?
02:34We were supposed to, but our work was delayed, and now all the Italian construction teams are busy doing other jobs.
02:40But you have to have help, Esther.
02:43My friend Jack, back on Sodor, always works with a team.
02:47There are dump trucks and diggers and bulldozers...
02:50Thomas! You're brilliant!
02:54Uh, I am?
03:05So, we just have time for one more story.
03:10And this one's known as the tale of the Lost Engine.
03:16I like the sound of this story.
03:19Oh, I feel sick.
03:22The Lost Engine was an explorer and treasure hunter...
03:28...whose curiosity led him into many a dangerous situation.
03:33He didn't always know what he was doing or where he was going.
03:39But now, legend has it, nobody knows where he is.
03:49He's lost!
03:52I hope we're not lost. We're a long way from home.
03:56I still feel sick.
03:59There's Stefano!
04:02I wonder what he's bringing this time. Come on, Gina!
04:23Oh, I still can't believe he can do that.
04:28Ciao, Gina! Ciao, Thomas!
04:31I've got a little surprise for you.
04:34Well, a few little surprises, actually.
04:40Are you all right? Are you all right?
04:51Jack? Guys! What? I don't understand.
04:55Surprise! We're here to help get the site ready for building the new museum.
05:01What? You mean, you've come to help Esther? That's amazing!
05:07I heard it was your idea, Thomas.
05:09And a good idea it was, too.
05:12All of you, come and meet my friend, Gina.
05:16This is Jack, and Max, Monty, Oliver, and Alfie, and...
05:22Oh, I'm sorry, I don't know your name.
05:26Hi, I'm Brenda.
05:28The newest member of the team. Ciao, Brenda.
05:32That's Italian for hello.
05:36And goodbye, actually.
05:38Oh, goodbye! I mean, hello! Ciao!
05:47Welcome to Italy, guys!
05:49I'm so excited!
05:51It's lovely!
05:53If you have any questions, ask away.
05:57Oh, yes. Thomas certainly loves questions.
06:02Although, his curiosity did get him into trouble once.
06:07Just like the lost engine?
06:10How do you know about the lost engine, Jack?
06:13Did they tell the story about him on Sodor too?
06:16No, Stefano told us.
06:19He also told us about Thomas getting lost.
06:23Well, if the lost engine was real, I think he and Thomas would get on very well indeed.
06:33And Thomas thought he found the lost engine in the tunnel.
06:38But it was just his echo calling,
06:42Help! Help! Help!
06:45Can we talk about something else now, please?
06:48Of course! Of course! Of course!
06:52I like your friend, Gina. She's fun.
06:56I know some funny stories about Thomas too.
07:00Oh, fantastico! I'd love to hear them.
07:03Well, one time, at the old mines,
07:06Thomas decided to pass a danger sign
07:09and ended up causing all sorts of confusion and delay.
07:15Steady there, Jack.
07:23Thanks for waiting, Thomas.
07:25You know, you were right, Thomas.
07:27Jack and the Sodor construction crew are fantastic.
07:31I'm sure they'll make a great team.
07:34I'm sure they will.
07:36I'm sure they will.
07:38I'm sure they will.
07:40You were right, Thomas. Jack and the Sodor construction crew are fantastico.
07:45Especially Jack. He's so funny.
07:48Gina! Gina! Look what I found!
07:51The archaeologists say it's part of an ancient mosaic.
07:55Wow, Jack! You've barely arrived here in Italy,
07:58and already you're making exciting discoveries.
08:02Oh...
08:08I should be the one making exciting discoveries.
08:11I've been working here much longer than they have.
08:14Just imagine what they'd say if I found something amazing.
08:21Thomas, the intrepid explorer,
08:24delves into unknown territory to find...
08:32Oh, the golden controller.
08:36It really does exist.
08:40THE GOLDEN CONTROLLER
09:01Ah! Booby trap!
09:04Quick!
09:10Oh, no!
09:12The walls are closing in!
09:25Ha, ha, ha!
09:29Look out!
09:31Oh, no!
09:33Oh, no!
09:36Look out!
09:43You need to watch where you're going.
09:46And be more careful.
09:49You shouldn't be on my tracks. This isn't even a crossing.
09:52Of course not.
09:54But it is a good shortcut, eh, Max?
09:58That's right, Monty.
10:01Oh, wow!
10:04I can't believe it!
10:06I've... I've... I've discovered something!
10:10Gina! Gina!
10:12Come and see what I've found!
10:18See that wheel?
10:20Over there, behind the bush.
10:22It must be an ancient Roman chariot,
10:26like the ones they used to race in.
10:28Isn't it incredible?
10:31Isn't it bellissima?
10:36But... that's a tractor.
10:39Roman chariot!
10:41Harry, stop!
10:43Oh.
10:45Never mind, Thomas.
10:47It's not so easy to discover things when you can't dig them up.
10:51Maybe leave the discovering to the archaeologists and the diggers.
10:56It wasn't the same
10:58with Jack and the construction crew being in Italy.
11:01Gina thinks they're all amazing,
11:03and that I'm just silly.
11:11Oh, uh-oh.
11:13You are so amazing, Thomas,
11:15making so many exciting discoveries.
11:18I'm so proud of you.
11:21You are so amazing, Thomas,
11:23making so many exciting discoveries.
11:26Oh, uh...
11:28Thanks, Max.
11:29Oh, yeah!
11:30First the lost engine,
11:32and then the lost tractor!
11:38What's next?
11:39The lost ice cream van?
11:41Ice cream!
11:42Yeah!
11:43And don't forget the lost echo!
11:46Echo! Echo!
11:48Hey, be careful!
11:50You're the one that should be careful, Thomas.
12:02Oh, I am careful.
12:07Oh, hey!
12:09This isn't the way back to the loading yard.
12:12Help!
12:18Ah!
12:24Ah.
12:25Huh?
12:26Where am I?
12:28Are these the old mines again?
12:30Mines again?
12:31Mines again?
12:33Oh, that's my echo again, too.
12:36Oh.
12:37Thank goodness Gina isn't here to see this.
12:42She'd think I was trying to find the lost engine again.
12:47Hmm.
12:50I wonder...
12:52Hello?
12:55Hello?
12:58Nope, I knew it.
13:00That's just my own echo again.
13:03Hello?
13:05Huh?
13:07That wasn't my echo.
13:10Max?
13:17Monty?
13:21Is that you?
13:24Are you playing a trick on me?
13:27Excuse me, but aren't you coming to rescue me?
13:32Who said that?
13:34I did.
13:35Please help me.
13:39Who's down there?
13:43You're not Max or Monty.
13:46You're...
13:48Oh, the lost engine.
13:52Wow.
13:54You are real.
13:56I knew it.
13:58Lost engine?
13:59What are you talking about?
14:01I'm Lorenzo.
14:06And I'm Pepe.
14:09And I'm Thomas.
14:12But surely you must be the curious engine who was always looking for treasure and following his curiosity.
14:20That sounds like Lorenzo, all right.
14:22And then one day you disappeared and were lost.
14:26Yes, that's Lorenzo.
14:29We were just having an adventure.
14:33We were just having an adventure.
14:35Got stuck.
14:37And then they closed the mine.
14:39Nobody knew you were down here.
14:42Some people don't even think you're real.
14:45Everyone knows the story of the lost engine.
14:48You're a legend.
14:50Why, thank you.
14:52What about the lost coach?
14:54Do they tell that story?
14:56Am I a legend too?
14:58Of course you are, Pepe.
15:00We're both legends.
15:03They'll be writing arias about our adventures.
15:07La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
15:10Lorenzo and Pepe the Remarkable.
15:22Lorenzo had been stuck down the mine for such a long time.
15:27He needed lots of fresh treasure and some extra coal.
15:31Oh, that's better.
15:33There you go.
15:34You're all nice and warm.
15:37Now, let's get you out of here.
15:42Tra-la-la.
15:44Warming up.
15:49My voice is as fit as a fiddly-diddly-dee.
15:55But my boiler is rusty and blocked.
15:58Don't worry. I can help pull you out.
16:04Tra-la-la.
16:11I'm not sure you should be singing in here.
16:14You're making everything shake.
16:17But we're singers, Thomas. And singers have to sing.
16:21Tra-la-la.
16:28I've still got it, eh, Pepe?
16:32Lorenzo!
16:34I know.
16:35My voice is as moving as it always was.
16:46Oh, no!
16:49It was cinders and ashes.
16:52But that was our way out.
16:56We're trapped.
16:58The only way we can go is further into the mine.
17:03Don't panic.
17:06This track goes somewhere, too.
17:10But anyway, all tracks lead to Rome, Thomas.
17:16I'm not so sure about that.
17:18Back up, Pepe!
17:20Backin' up, backin' up, we are backin' up!
17:37This can't be the way out!
17:39These tracks keep going down and are getting deeper and deeper!
17:44When are we going to find a way that heads back up?
17:47We should stop and go back to find another way.
17:50And give up?
17:52Never!
17:53Aren't you curious to see where this takes us, Thomas?
17:57And besides, this simply cannot be my final finale!
18:06Light! I see light!
18:08There's a light at the end of the tunnel!
18:11Race on!
18:13At last! This must be the way out!
18:16Thomas, can you see? Our hope is shining through the dark!
18:21No! Wait!
18:23Hold on!
18:24The track is blocked!
18:26Stop! Stop! Stop!
18:31No!
18:39Mamma mia!
18:40No! I'm Pepe, the legendary lost coach!
18:46Where's the track gone?
18:52The lost coach!
18:54And I'm Lorenzo, the lost engine!
18:57The lost engine?
18:59And I'm Thomas, the tank engine!
19:02Thomas!
19:10Hang on, guys! Stefano's got you!
19:15Thank you, sir!
19:17No, no, no, no, thank you!
19:20It's not every day I get a legendary lost engine on my deck!
19:26And a legendary lost coach!
19:31Don't worry, Thomas!
19:33I haven't forgotten your name!
19:36I'm Pepe, the lost engine!
19:40Don't worry, Thomas!
19:42I haven't forgotten the hero of the hour!
19:50I don't know how I ended up down there.
19:53There must have been a problem with the tracks.
19:56But then I heard this voice calling out.
19:59And it wasn't an echo.
20:02So I couldn't just leave.
20:05So he was fantastico!
20:08He rescued Lorenzo, the famous lost engine,
20:11who nobody even believed existed!
20:14You're our very own legendary adventurer, Thomas!
20:19I think I've had enough Italian adventures for a while.
20:24What do you mean? You're not leaving, are you?
20:26Why? Do you want me to stay?
20:29Of course I do!
20:31But you've got Jack and the Sodor construction crew now.
20:34And all the exciting discoveries at the dig.
20:37I just ask too many questions and end up down mines all the time.
20:41Thomas, stop talking.
20:44Jack and the others are great, as are the discoveries.
20:47But you're great, too.
20:49You're my friend.
20:51I love working with you here in Italy.
20:53You do?
20:55Yes!
20:56But no more dramatic rescues in mines for a while, OK?
21:00Absolutely!
21:02I'll leave that to Lorenzo and Pepe.
21:05Where are they, anyway?
