00:00The other side of the mountain.
00:09Thomas has travelled to every corner of the Fat Controller's Railway.
00:18But the place Thomas likes to work best is on his very own branch line with Annie and Clarabelle,
00:26where he gets to race with Bertie the Bus.
00:45One day, Thomas was surprised not to see Bertie travelling along his regular route.
00:55I don't know.
00:57And I don't know.
00:59We don't know what the bus is doing.
01:02My, you two are acting silly today.
01:05Oh, look!
01:20Hello Bertie, I saw the men working on the road.
01:24I know. I have to take a different road at the moment, right round the other side of the mountain.
01:31The other side of the mountain? I've never been over there.
01:36That's because you can only go where there are tracks, and there are no tracks on the other side of the mountain, silly.
01:43But what's it like?
01:45What's it like?
01:47Oh, Thomas, it's amazing.
01:50There are jungly trees, and a sparkly waterfall, and there's always a rainbow.
01:58Always? No, you're making it up. That can't be true.
02:03Well, I guess you'll never know, because you'll never get to go and see for yourself.
02:08Bertie, come back!
02:12Later, as Thomas travelled back along his branch line, he passed the mountain Bertie had been talking about.
02:20Do you think there's really always a rainbow on the other side of that mountain?
02:24I don't know.
02:26And I don't know.
02:28We don't know what it's like over there.
02:32There must be some way I can see for myself.
02:35There must be some way I can see for myself.
02:37Silly Thomas, you can't go where there aren't any tracks.
02:43Silly!
02:49It's not funny, Bertie. I want to go there too.
02:53I'm sorry, Thomas, but you're being silly.
02:57That's what we said.
02:59I'm not being silly. I just want to see what's on the other side of that mountain.
03:05Yes, it is a pretty fantastic waterfall.
03:10Oh, and that rainbow! Wow!
03:15And Bertie says there's always a rainbow, Percy.
03:19How could that be true?
03:21I don't know, Thomas, but it sounds amazing.
03:25I thought rainbows were up in the sky, not hiding behind mountains.
03:30Maybe he's making it all up.
03:32I wish I had a big propeller like Harold.
03:35Then I could fly over that mountain and see for myself.
03:39But you're not a helicopter, Thomas. You're a railway engine.
03:43Oh, we're all railway engines.
03:47And we should all be railway engines.
03:50We're all railway engines.
03:52We're all railway engines.
03:54We're all railway engines.
03:56We're all railway engines.
03:58We're all railway engines.
04:01And we should all be asleep.
04:08It's not fair.
04:10Shush!
04:17The next day, Thomas met Bertie at the level crossing.
04:23Ow! Why are we stopping?
04:25Bertie, there's not really always a rainbow on the other side of that mountain, is there?
04:29You've been making it all up. You've been teasing me.
04:32Well, I haven't really been making it up, Thomas, but...
04:37I knew it!
04:41What's going on now?
04:42Make your mind up, why don't you?
04:45Wait, Thomas. I can explain.
04:49Just listen.
04:55But Thomas didn't want to listen. He was too cross.
05:02He kept thinking about what was on the other side of the mountain.
05:07And he wasn't looking where he was going.
05:16Move, Thomas!
05:18Watch out!
05:26Help! I can't stop! Help!
05:40Luckily, nobody was hurt.
05:46Once again, Thomas, you have caused confusion and delay.
05:50I didn't mean to, sir.
05:52But Bertie had been teasing me and I was still feeling cross.
05:55Which means you weren't paying attention. That's how accidents happen.
06:00Yes, sir. I'm sorry, sir.
06:07Thomas had slid too far away from the tracks,
06:10so he had to be brought to the steamworks by road.
06:14And I wasn't looking where I was going, Butch.
06:17And I wasn't looking where I was going, Butch.
06:20That's why I went through the red signal and over the points.
06:24Accidents can happen to anyone, Thomas.
06:27But it's always important to look where you're going.
06:32Isn't the steamworks the other way, Butch?
06:35Yes, but that road's closed for construction.
06:38Then is this the road Bertie was taking?
06:42The one on the other side of the mountain?
06:45I suppose it must be.
06:51Bertie told me there were jungly trees over here,
06:54and a sparkly waterfall, and there was always a rainbow.
06:58Oh, I don't think so, Thomas.
07:02It's pretty much the same as the other side of the mountain.
07:08So I was right. Bertie was making it all...
07:13Oh!
07:18What? What's so funny?
07:21The sparkly waterfall, the jungly trees and the rainbow!
07:28There's always a rainbow!
07:37Very funny, Bertie.
07:40Yes, I told you I didn't make it up.
07:43No, but you made it sound like it was real, not just a big poster.
07:49No, I didn't mean to make you have an accident, though, Thomas,
07:53just so you could see what was on the other side of the mountain.
07:57I know.
07:59But just you wait until you see the new wings Victor has for me.
08:03Wings?
08:06Soon I'll be able to fly wherever I want, even where there aren't any roads.
08:12Oh, now you're joking, aren't you?
08:16You'll only have wings in your dreams.
08:21OK, then. In my dreams.
08:35Ha-ha-ha!
