No, not while the train's moving.

Earlier when the train stopped, I saw someone out there.

Yes, Yes you keep saying that.

Not the guy that was hurt, not him. Before that. Just before that.

Where?

Somebody was hurt?

Outside. He was doing something to the train. I

thought he was a railroad worker. But he was...

There was a hissing sound like...

...like air coming out of the brakes.

- What did he look like?

- He was wearing a high-vis jacket.

I don't know, it was dark.

- What?

- What have you got on there?

- Do you like?

- It's very fetching. Do you work for the railway?

No, London Underground.

Cleaner.

- Have you seen the guard recently?

- No. Have you?

- What's your name?

- Who are you? Police?

- What is your name?

- Peter Carmichael, and this is Dr. Lewis Shaler.

Jan... Klimowski.

- And I have not been outside.

- I'm sorry, whose accusing you of anything?

You! You know who I think let air from brakes?

- The same person now driving this train.

Oh, god...

What can we do...

Transport Police!

- Where's Max?

- He's fine. He's crashing with Elaine.

- Well, what's going on?

- I thought this was supposed to be a stopping service.

- So did I.

- Well, why don't we just pull the brake chain?

- We did. We tried. We pulled the emergency brake, and the guard

lever, and all the chains on the way here.

- Dude! shall I pull it?

- Go ahead!

- I will you know!

- They don't work.

This is the train to and from Tunbridge Wells.

So the rear driving cab should

be the same as the front one.

- Please tell me there's a brake in there.

- Let's hope so.

- He's not tired your boy?

- No. He's not my boy.

- You're not married?

- Not yet. We just met.

- You just met tonight on this train?

- Uh huh.

- And he leaves his boy with you?

- I'm not as dangerous as I look.

- Why do you come to back of train? Why don't you go to driver's door?

- I already tried that, it's jammed.

- Leave that door alone!

- You speak to police?

They're contacting the driver direct -

- and they warned all of us not to do anything to

jeopardize their efforts to stop this train.

It was open!

- I can't see anything, do you have a lighter?

- So we're ignoring the police then are we?

- Yes, f*** the police!

- That's Tunbridge Wells, that's my stop! The last stop.

- No police!

Give them a chance, I only just told them!

We'll be all the way to Hastings as long as

there ass isn't in gear.

- Okay, so where's the brake?

- Well, that's not it.

No, that one tells the driver that we're back here!

What about this one?

That's the dead man's handle...

...ie touch it and your a dead man!

Hey boys, everyone gets a go, alright.

Lewis, the keys.

Yes keys. Try the keys.

These are just door keys.

That's because the driver has the driver's keys.

- And if you won't listen to the police then all they need to do is

cut the power to the third rail and we roll safely to a stop.

- No, we won't!

- It's not the end of New Hebrides Lewis.

- This is an electrified line down here.

- It's a diesel train. Look!

- So they can't cut the power?

- Well they can, but it won't stop us.

- So how can they stop us?

- I don't think they can.

We'd like to get off the train now!

We'd like to get off now!

Lewis!

Lewis, put light here!

- This is the back door.

- If we can open it, we can jump.

- And hopefully have a heart attack before we hit the ballast at 70 mph.

- We can run off the back!

- You can run off the back. A little boy? Elaine?

What other choice do we have?

Then you fill out a donor card before you jump off the train.

Okay! You stay and I'll jump!

Boys! Boys!

Trains don't have steering wheels.

"It's a handbrake.

Use only when the train is stationary."

Do you really think that a handbrake will stop a speeding train?

I don't know what will stop this train.

When we're off this thing I'll gladly tell the police that

you were against us coming in here, but it's a diesel train.

And I don't see how they can stop it from the outside.

Yes, let him try!

- Don't shine that in my face!

- Don't touch me!

Come on!

What was that?

Come on!

- It's working!

- It's working!

- It's working!

He's fighting us!

But we fight back!

It only makes it worse.

- How fast? How fast now?

- 80 .. 85 ..

90 ..

- 95 ..

- The motor is too powerful.

- 100

- Alright, this is dangerous and illegal!

- Get off! Get off the cowl!

- Release the brake!

- Stop! Stop, boys please!

- Is that all you've got?

- Alright! Alright! Take it easy!

Help me! Help me! It's burning!

The smoke!

Help me to unwind it!

No wonder the Soviets want you

our ignorant Jan!

So the police said do nothing?

How can they do, they'll contact us if they need us.

Breathe through that nostril.

And that one.

You're fine. Just stay standing and

keep pinching it just... by the bridge.

- Have they spoken to the driver?

- They're working on it.

But you heard his voice so we know he's conscious,

the question is why is he doing this?

When he spoke to me he asked me

how many passengers were left.

We should break his door and smash his face.

Then he will tell us.

Yeh, we'll need a battering ram to get through,

perhaps we can try your head.

In the absence of a battering ram we'll just have to wait for the boys in blue.

Where are we now?

I think we're approaching Stonegate.

There is a level crossing after Stonegate.

- Buy us some time won't they.

- Only if they're expecting us.

- I suppose automatic, right?

- Some are, some aren't.

If it's manual, then there's a red light and it's

up to the driver to stop the train.

- If the brakes are even working!

- If we hit car we come off track.

- Very funny, Jan.

- At 100 miles an hour!

- We should call the police to make sure they're ready for us.

- How far from Stonegate is that level crossing?

- There's a tunnel before the station.

- The crossing is a couple miles after that.

- So what's that 100 mph, that's 80 seconds.

- For God's sake.

Hi, monkey!

Have you beat my high score yet?

Keep trying.

The snake goes too fast!

Yes, hello! The police.

- Why was that man calling the police?

- Because there's something broken on the

train and the driver needs to fix it.

- If it's broken, how does it keep going?

- Because it's only the brakes that are broken, Max.

- Is that why we didn't stop?

The driver is going to fix it, Max.

It's just like when I fixed your bike brakes. Remember that?

But, how can he fix the brakes if the train can't stop?

Do you want me to show you how to win snake or not?

Come this side Max. Come, come, come!

- You don't have to move forward!

- Sit this side, Max!

- Heh Max, this side is better.

What have I told you? You do what you're told!

Do you know, we pulled the communication cord

and nothing happened!

Listen. Listen to me!

I'm trying to tell you we're almost approaching Stonegate -

- and if those barriers aren't down, then you are going to

need counseling when you sift through the mess!
