When Max accidentally spills coffee on the coat of the promoter Sarah Barwell, Lewis is embarrassed and offers to pay for the cleaning of her coat. Soon they start a conversation and feel attracted for each other. When the train stops, Lewis sees a man on the track apparently fixing the brakes. When the trains moves, he sees another man crawling on the tracks. Lewis seeks out the train guard and finds that he is missing. Further, the train does not stop at the stations. He tries to contact the driver that asks how many passengers are still on board and nothing else. Lewis contacts the passengers Jan Klimowski, Peter Carmichael and Elaine Middleton and they team-up expecting to stop the train. Soon they conclude that the train has no brake and the driver is a suicidal. What will happen to

Welcome on board the train from

Charing Cross to Tunbridge Wells.

Train stops in London Bridge,

Orpington, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge

High Brooms and Tunbridge Wells.

I'll be moving around through the train.

Please have your

tickets ready for inspection.

Where are we, Max?

Are we still in London?

I think so. Can we just have one game?

Just one.

- One game of what?

- Rock, paper, scissors.

And then you have to promise

to get some sleep.

- Best of five.

- No. I'm not doing best of five. One game.

Okay.

Let me warm up my hands. Hands are

very important to "rock, paper, scissors".

Ready and preying for action.

Rock, paper, scissors!

- Best of three.

- Rock, paper, scissors.

- Hang on a minute you're cheating. Yes you are.

- You're guessing what I'm thinking, aren't you?

- You're reading my mind.

- But that's not cheating.

Alright, best of five.

Ready?

Someone's ringing.

No they're not.

Somebody is ringing.

This is Shaler.

Sorry? Hang on a second.

You lot mind keeping it down?

I'm on the phone!

Thank you very much.

Hang on a bit. Mouse, you just wait here. I'm going over there.

It's quieter. Harry can forage a bit, Okay?.

Tell me you've got police restraining drunks -

- teenagers in tears and nurses

doubling as bouncers.

I'm on the train home from London.

It's self-ventilating?

Well no, I took my boy to see "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang".

Where is the registrar?

- Who are you traveling with?

- My father. He's over there.

Yah no, you cut out for a second.

- What's his name?

- Harry.

No, No don't do that. I'll be there. Just clear the

recess. Call the trauma team.

Don't wait for the blood results...

Don't wait for the blood results.

Just get me to the X-rays.

I'll be there in ... 47 minutes.

- You said Harry could forage for food.

- Here's a tissue... Oh my God.

You're lucky I don't take Harry away right now.

- I'm so, sooo sorry.

This is how my night's been going.

I take it this little charmer is yours.

Charmer... half right.

- Did you say you're sorry, Max?

- I'm sorry.

- I accept. It's alright, I understand.

Listen, can I...

pay for the cleaning?

Buy me a new coat..

if it makes you feel better.

I'm joking, really.

I'm fine.

- I'm soo sorry.

- Oh, I'll survive.

You, sit down, don't move.

Max, that was the hospital that called.

There's been a car crash monkey, and they

need me in tonight.

I'm going to have to take you to stay

at grandma and grandpa's, okay?

They'll have mince pies -

- ice cream - chocolate cake.

And lots and lots of whiskey.

I'm sorry monkey.

How long now? Before you said you'd

be at the hospital in about 47 minutes.

- Well, I was... just...

- How can you get away with being so vague?

- I mean what about the seconds?

Are all doctors so meticulous or is it just you?

Dad's a really good Doctor. He can tell

what's wrong with people just by looking at them.

- What about her?

- Pneumocranial disorder.

"Pneumo" as in air,

"cranial" as in skull.

- "Airhead". Nice save!

- Yah, the price is the same.

- Would you like to see some of my pictures?

- Yes, I'd love to see your pictures! Thank you.

Yes, I would. I love art!

I warned you.

This is one of my stories i've been doing -

- and the pictures are falling out and everything.

I don't really know why.

You'll be there all night.

And this is called "Treasure Island".

It's got a bit like my doodah.

My, you're very talented! I wonder where

you get that from.

Do you know you're going to be a famous artist one day?

Yah.

I think I'm going to frame my coat.

- I think it's good meeting you tonight.

- You're going to make me a lot of money.

- This is some of my oil pastels.

Oil Pastels!

Oh, excuse me gents.

I'm safe. I'm on the train.

No, no! I had a very... lovely evening.

I just only got tired, thats all.

I'm not fibing.

Thanks, you'll see that you're the pretty one. I'm

quite content to be your wingcheck.

Foxy fox!

Are you finished with this? Thank you.

On Track for Gold and Glory

Don't touch the door!

Harry's foraging.

Well, Harry can forage on the seats.

Because those are marshlands and the doors are cliffs.

Oh I know, I was a bore.

Tickets please!

- Excuse me sir, can you put it out now please?

- The bar is closed.

That doesn't matter.

Can you put it out now?!

Look, there are signs everywhere inside the train.

If you can not read

it means "no smoking".

Open the f***ing bar!

Open the f***ing bar!

You don't swear at me!

- And if you don't put it now, I'll personally arrange for

transport police to escort you off train.

- Thank you very much!

- What are those?

- Excuse me sir leave it to me!

- Camel Light.

Really, I thought that was a student cigarette?

Come on now, put it out.

We don't want the secondhand smoke.

Take it from me.

I will be in the bar!

Talk to you tomorrow.

I didn't buy ticket!

Oh dear... young punk.

- Tickets, please!

- What's his diagnosis?

- He's crazy.

Max!

What did I tell you? What did I just tell you?

These doors are dangerous Max and you never touch them!

Give me Harry.

I've had enough of him for one day.

Just sit there and don't move!

Those doors are dangerous, monkey.

And if you fall out of them while the train is moving,

then you'll be killed.

Do you understand me?

Look at me.

- Do you understand?

- I'm sorry.

You scared me.

Tickets, please.

Thank you.

I suggest your boy sits on the aisle side in future -
