Hey! Hey! Close the crossway! Heeey!

Don't worry, Dad.

They'll fix the brakes.

You're right monkey. It's crazy to worry.

Here take Harry.

Let's...

Let's play a game.

Let's play put your feet and knees firmly together on the floor.

How bout "Simon Says".

Simon says:

Put your feet and knees together like this.

- A little bit further back.

- You didn't say "Simon says".

Simon says:
Bend down as far as you can

and put your hands behind your head.

We're all going to sit like this for a bit.

- And uh... close your eyes.

- Simon says:
Close your eyes.

Dad?

Oh my God!

- Did you get the police? Yes,

- but they were too late to do anything.

Let me think for a minute.

Elaine, are you alright?

What?

What did she say?

She said that the otter is for

Jake and the penguin for Leah.

Ooh, Ooh Elaine.

Are you alright? Are you with me?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me, Elaine? Elaine!

Ok, give me a hand to get her down.

She's in cardiac arrest. Check her handbag for pills!

There is no pills!

There is no pills, Lewis.

- Lewis what can we do?

- Does anyone else know how to do CPR?

- Sarah?

- No, I'm sorry I don't... I don't know how to...

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven-

- eight, nine, ten, eleven,

twelve, thirteen...

Come on, Elaine!

Come on!

Come on!

Nearly ten minutes, Lewis!

- How long are you going to do this?

- Let him do it!

I am going to go to front to break driver's door.

I need your help!

She needs his help!

She's dead!

"Home".

Give it to me.

- How long til end of line?

- At this speed if we don't run into anything maybe half an hour.

- Maybe half an hour. Maybe.

- We can't just leave her.

- What about us!

- Lewis, what about your boy!

Lewis, does she have any chance?

- If I had a defib.

- But you don't.

Come on!

We have no time!

- You couldn't save her Dad?

- No Max, I couldn't.

If you were at the hospital

you would have.

Knock, knock.

Bang bang bang bang

Okay Lewis my turn. Come on!

Okay Lewis let me! Let me.

Let me!

Thank you.

- Ladies and gentlemen...

Welcome on board train

to Tunbridge Wells!

Tonight we stop to let some passengers

off. Some passengers we do not let off!

They must stop train themselves!

Open that door!

Okay, give me a couple of seconds,

I will try again.

Trump!

Again! Again!

Again! Again!

- Wait! Wait!

- What?

Nothing.

- Jan this was your idea. It was your idea!

- Okay.

Can you help me?

- Are you okay?

- Yah.

- I'm okay.

- Piss.

F***!

Give me the lamp.

I found the guard.

Open the door!

Open the door!

Listen...

Hey look.

Whatever it is you're doing, just

stop the train-

- and let us off!

I'm begging you.

I'm begging you.

My son... is on the train.

My son. He...

I'm coming in!

I'm serious, I'm coming in!

Oh, my God!

- I'm serious!

- Horn exploding!

I'm serious!

Open the door, you bastard!

- Lewis!

- Open the door!

F***!

- I need your pole.

- You're bleeding.

- I need the pole.

F***!

You bastard!

Why are you doing this?

Why are you f***ing...

- Lewis...

- He's right there.

- I know.

- He's right there.

I know.

Jan... What are we going to do?

What do we do?

What do we do?

First we think. We do stupid

things when we don't think.

Then ...

... we try something else.

Come on. You're a crazy f***er!

Course it's not the Black Forest down here but I did manage to glean

a few things before losing them.

They're working on something a bit further down the line.

And they found the driver.

- Where?

- Just as you said Lewis, on the track.

He said he been attacked by somebody on the train.

- I think I saw him earlier.

- You saw him?

- Yah.

I recognized his motorcycle helmet.

He nearly got off at London Bridge,

as if he missed his stop.

I think this guy kills the guard -

- He drags him in there -

- and then... he pulls the emergency brake,

which still works.

And then he lets the air out of the brakes, jumps

into the driver's cab -

- and throws him out...

I heard him shout. And...

Do any of you remember Moorgate?

Nah you're too young.

It was about 30 years ago.

A crash on the underground.

Northern Line.

When the train came into the station instead of

slowing down it accelerated into the buffers.

The driver was killed along with 40 other souls.

They never proved what caused it, but speculation at

the time was that it was suicide.

Driver suicide.

INSTRUCTIONS:

- How long from end of line?

- About 20 minutes.

- What is there after that?

- The great blue yonder.

We could start fire outside door.

Smoke bring him out like in back.

- Diesel tanks are under there.

- Even better we blow up the bastard!

- At this speed we'd derail.

- So what do we do? We sit here? We do nothing?

Jan, just listen to me please. Now I don't know if you

heard of the Paddington crash -

- but there diesel tanks rupture, and when sparks ignited

the diesel a fireball swept through the length of the train.

When it reached the passengers they all

screamed. Do you know how they know that?

- Because the insides of their mouths were burned out.

- Thank you very much, Mr. train crash.

Look! "Buckeye coupler".

"Buckeye coupler".

It holds the carriages together.

If we could get to it. We could... I don't know, we could unhitch it?

- I know this. You pull here.

- You pull it?

When you push lever this comes out.

How you say...

knuckles.

- Knuckles.

- Knuckles comes loose.

This makes connection not safe.

Then it just needs shake...

What, just like that, with all this load on the coupling?

This train weighing hundreds of tons.

Load is on coupling, not on pin. Without pin it's

not safe.

At this speed, train shaking, it will come open!

I am graduate of engineering from

University of Technology, Gdansk.

So we uncouple the carriages,

put the rear handbrake on and -

- with luck roll to a gentle stop.

Not bad, where is this coupling?

Just under here.

Well there's no getting thru there.

I will get to it.

- Not without a sledgehammer you won't.

- I will go outside.

- What do you mean you'll go outside?

- My English not good?

- I said I will go outside!

- Jan, we're not on a cruise ship.

You can't just go out on the deck.

How will you get out?

- Same way I got in, through door!

- Of course, through the door how silly of me!

- And what are you going to do then? Just float around outside?

- There is small step!

- It is only 2 inches wide.

- As much as that?

Oh, I'm sorry. Is it too easy for you?

Should we give you a blindfold, put ferrets in your pants

and tye one hand behind your back?

Once you're out there in pitch black, freezing cold, moving

at 100 miles per hour with nothing to hang on to...

- How do you propose unhitching the coupling?

- Have any better idea?

Tell me! Tell me!

- Just hang on.

- You're going to keep talking?

Just shut up and listen to me!

Once we get past Crowhurst all these

trains go slower.

How do you know trains slow down?

Because I take the line alone to get
