00:00Slow Steve.
00:07Steven usually works at Elmstead Castle.
00:14But sometimes he goes on special journeys to take visitors on tours of the island of Sodor.
00:23In his early days he was so fast, they called him the Rocket.
00:29When people hear that Steven is out and about, they always want to see him.
00:34Yay!
00:36Look, there he is, Daddy! That's the Rocket!
00:39That's me, young man. I fly like the wind!
00:45But although Steven is still known as the Rocket,
00:48he's not actually that fast anymore.
00:55In fact, these days he's one of the slowest engines on the Fat Controller's railway,
01:01which can be a problem for some of the other engines.
01:05That old slow engine shouldn't be allowed on the main line.
01:11Out of my way, you silly little engine! You're too slow to be really useful!
01:42Oh, what was that?
01:47Oh, it's probably nothing. Gordon's so fast, he's got me rattled.
01:56Later that day, Steven met Thomas at Nantucket,
02:01where he met the Rocket.
02:05Later that day, Steven met Thomas at Knapford Station.
02:10Hello, hello, hello! Any passengers for the Rocket?
02:17Come on, Steven! Get out of my way! This is my line!
02:23I really don't understand why anyone would want to go slowly on you
02:28when there are faster and far more splendid engines available.
02:33You're just jealous because they're not taking photos of you, James.
02:37He's only joking, James.
02:40Oh, have either of you ever heard a strange noise as you cross the suspension bridge?
02:45No, I'm usually going too fast to hear anything but the sound of my pistons pumping.
02:51I haven't heard anything either, Steven.
02:54Oh, all right, never mind.
03:04Steven had to cross the suspension bridge again on his way to Brendam Docks.
03:09He kept listening for the strange noise, but he didn't hear anything this time.
03:15Hmm, silly old me. I must have imagined it.
03:19HE HONKS HORN
03:31He stopped at Brendam Docks to collect some passengers from a cruise ship.
03:36Welcome to Sodor, everyone!
03:39My name is Steven, but you can call me the Rocket, for obvious reasons.
03:47Wow, Steven, you're a very popular engine.
03:52Thank you, thank you, I thank you.
03:58HE HONKS HORN
04:00As Steven headed back to Knapford, he had to cross the suspension bridge for a third time.
04:07Wait a minute, there's that sound again.
04:17HE GASPS
04:19Oh, no, the bridge must be damaged!
04:22Steven raced to get his passengers safely to the other side.
04:29Once he was over the bridge, Steven steamed towards Knapford as fast as his pistons could pump,
04:36which, unfortunately, wasn't all that fast.
04:40Thomas! Thomas! Emergency!
04:46What's wrong?
04:48The suspension bridge is damaged.
04:50That sounds very dangerous.
04:53What about Gordon?
04:55Clarabelle's right. The express will be here any minute.
04:58We need to stop him crossing the bridge.
05:01I'm going to go across and stop Gordon.
05:04Thomas, no!
05:05You can't! It's too dangerous!
05:08They're right, Thomas. I'm lighter than you. It'll be less risky if I go.
05:13HE HONKS HORN
05:17HE HONKS HORN
05:28You stay here and block this side.
05:30Be careful, Steven!
05:32Don't you worry!
05:35HE HONKS HORN
05:44Oh! Oh!
05:46Oh!
05:48HE HONKS HORN
05:51Oh, no! I can't bear to look!
05:54What's happening?
05:56He's stuck and the bridge is breaking!
05:59Come on, Steven! Just a little bit further!
06:03I'm puffing my hardest!
06:06HE HONKS HORN
06:12Come on, old boy. You can do this.
06:23HE HONKS HORN
06:25Express coming through!
06:33HE HONKS HORN
06:39Get out of the way! Clear the track!
06:43Stop, Gordon! Stop!
06:46HE HONKS HORN
06:48HE HONKS HORN
06:59Out of my way, you silly little engine!
07:02You're too slow to be really useful!
07:05HE HONKS HORN
07:19HE HONKS HORN
07:26Oh, Steven, you...you saved me and my passengers.
07:32I...I...
07:34I think he means thank you, Steven!
07:42The Fat Controller came to inspect the damage to the bridge.
07:47Well, now, you two certainly did avert a terrible disaster.
07:51Steven took the biggest risk, sir, crossing the bridge to stop Gordon.
07:56Well, we're very proud of you both.
07:59You're not really useful engines today.
08:02You are really useful heroes.
08:07And while the suspension bridge was being repaired,
08:11all the engines had to cross it as slowly as Slow Steven.
08:17HE HONKS HORN
08:19Come on, Gordon!
08:21Rocket coming through!
08:23Ooh!
08:28And the amazing story of Steven's bravery
08:32brought even more visitors to Ulfstead Castle than before
08:38and made old Slow Steven more popular than ever.
