Part 2 The Sarah Jane Adventures

13 Bannerman Road is where Sarah Jane Smith lives! It's home

to things way beyond your imagination.

There's an extra-terrestrial super computer in the wall.

Her son, a genetically-engineered boy genius.

A schoolgirl investigator across the road.

And a whole universe of adventure, right here on the doorstep.

-Ready?

-Always.

My name's Sarah Jane Smith,

I'm not an amateur, and I don't think you are either.

I don't care what you think.

What's happening is you're not in charge any more.

'I am sorry. You are very ill indeed.'

You've got your secret attic, welcome to my secret cellar.

Yes, you ARE ill! I made you ill.

Your life essence is delicious.

And you're just the starter. Once it's consumed you,

it'll be big enough to absorb many more life essences.

-Many, many souls at a time.

-How?

-What are you going to do?

-Well, I'm going to carry on your work.

Well, with one big difference - I'll still be tracking aliens

from the attic, yes, but, um...

I'm going to help them.

Help them? How?

Anyway they like.

They want all the water? Go ahead, drink up. Mineral wealth?

Thataway. Colonise?

-Well, pick a continent.

-You'll destroy the planet.

Eventually, yes.

But what an exciting time humanity will have.

-No!

-CHAINS RATTLE

And I will feed on every drop...

of their terror and despair.

I'll get my hair done like Lady Gaga, all skewiff,

-then dye it streaked.

-No way! This is a wind-up.

-I know one when I hear one.

-SHE LAUGHS

-Oh, the door's open again.

-Oi, I'm serious...

Sarah Jane, tell Rani she's..

Oh, sorry, Rubes. Where's Sarah Jane?

Play.

'I want you to listen. Please don't start shouting.

'Most important, don't take it out on Ruby.'

-What's this?

-'I nearly got you killed.

'You aren't safe with me any longer.'

What? No!

No, oh, please, no.

'This life is exciting and wonderful.

'But it changes you, and it's hard. We have a responsibility, all of us.

'The biggest responsibility is knowing when to stop.

-'So I'm stopping. I've gone.'

-What? Gone where?

'Ruby is talking my place. She needs your full trust and support,

'and I know you'll be mature enough to give that to her.

'Please don't try and find me. You've been incredible.

'Clyde, Rani, and Ruby defending the Earth from an attic in Ealing.

'What could be better?

'Goodbye.'

That isn't me! That isn't me!

-You knew about this and didn't tell us?!

-No, Clyde, no!

-You heard what Sarah Jane said.

-She wouldn't go and not tell us!

I tried to talk to her, but she wouldn't listen. I'm sorry!

-It's not your fault, Ruby.

-Luke'll know where she's gone.

-No, she didn't tell him.

-She knew he would talk her out of it.

-Luke doesn't know?!

I don't know what to say.

-Just shut up!

-Clyde! I've just got to talk to him.

Oh... SHE SNIFFS

I'm almost upsetting myself.

-Enjoying the show?

-They'll find a way to stop you.

Aw...

The hope of the dying tastes so sweet.

You've got to get this message, you've got to help!

-Clyde? Are you OK?

-You and your stupid "holiday", you put this in her head!

-Now she's gone, like my dad's gone, and it's all your fault!

-But....

Just stay away from me!

Oh!

Sweetheart...

Rani?

Whatever's the matter?

It's Sarah Jane.

She's gone.

-She's moved away.

-What? I only saw her yesterday.

Well, are you sure, my love?

She's gone, Mum. And she just left a message with Ruby.

What? Moonlight flit? That's not her style.

She didn't even tell Luke.

Well, now I know this is rubbish. Luke's her son.

The way Sarah Jane looks at Luke...

Well, it's the same way I look at you. A mother knows.

I see you two, having a laugh, sharing your big secret.

Don't think I've not noticed.

You and her, you have something special.

Sometimes, I get a bit jealous.

Mum, don't say that.

But Sarah Jane makes you happy, and that makes me happy.

You listen to me, Rani Chandra. She would never, ever just run off.

-Where's Ruby?

-'Clyde.'

-Tell me.

-'I... I cannot comply...

-'Clyde, I...'

-Doesn't matter. Find Sarah Jane. I'm going after her.

-'I... I cannot com...comply.'

-What's wrong with you?

-'Letter 2.'

-Mr Smith?!

-'Letter 2.'

-What does that mean?

-'Letter 2.'

-What, like the alphabet? The letter B?

'Letter 5.

'Letter 23.'

B...E...W...

Beware! Beware what?!

Clyde, are you OK?

I was worried. What you said before...

Forget it, we've got to find Sarah Jane.

She doesn't want us to find her.

-'Letter 18... 18.'

-What was that?

-Mr Smith?

-What's the matter with you?

'There's nothing wrong. A minor malfunction, now rectified.'

He was trying to tell me something. Beware and then letter 18.

-What's letter 18 in the alphabet?

-Huh?! That's R!

For Ruby...

Mr Smith was trying to warn me it's you. You've done this!

You made Sarah Jane go.

Clyde...

We could've had so much fun together, but I can't have you running to Rani and I've heard enough from the zylot.

-Shut him down, Mr White!

-'With pleasure.'

-No!

Mr Smith! No! Mr Smith!

Oh, get off me!

Where is this?

Take a look.

Recognise it?

I think that bit's Finland.

This was my prison.

My people exiled me.

We have a...

A hunger. Mine was too strong.

They trapped me here for eternity with only a game system for company.

Only now it's my ship.

This golf ball?

Well, I reprogrammed the games device.

It took me a while. A long while.

Mr White?

-He's a PlayStation?

-He's taken me to so many places.

But don't go looking for them. They're sadly no longer with us.

-But Sarah Jane scanned you...

-Ah, this has a biodamper.

It screened me.

Belonged to a previous friend, God rest her soul.

-Where's Sarah Jane?

-Ooh!

She's watching us right now.

I was going to feed off you, Clyde.

I wanted your love, your dependence, your hope.

And then your despair.

You can't! Leave him alone.

< RUMBLING

RUBY: 'Now this ship will be your prison, too.'

No!

But only for a little while.

We've only got the air we came in with and...

I don't need it.

Goodbye, Clyde.

No!

No, Ruby!

VOICE ECHOES

-Come on, Clyde, pick up!

-'The number you dialled is not available.

'Please try again...' DOORBELL RINGS

Clyde!

What the hell's going on?

Suddenly Clyde leaves me a message. I rush down here and Mum's gone!

What did you do? I trusted you.

-So it's my fault again!

-You and Clyde must've done something...

-You're the one who left her!

-'Mistress!'

Immediate cessation. Stop arguing. We must locate Mistress Sarah Jane.

Co-operation between all units essential.

Sorry, Rani.

Where's Clyde? We need him.

K9, can you track Clyde's phone, tell me where he is?

Attempting to contact mobile now.

We'll get him round, Mum and Dad will be gone for hours.

Phone out of communication range. However,

transponder locators indicate Victus 471.3 231.4.

-That's impossible, recalculate.

-Calculation confirmed.

-What's the matter?

-The coordinates - that's space. He's in orbit.

-Help!

-VOICE ECHOES

HE PANTS

-We have to get to the attic, we need Mr Smith.

-Wait! Both of you try this.

Today, Sarah Jane runs away without saying a word.

Ruby takes over and Clyde is now in space. What are the chances of that?

-0.1%.

-Which means it's not by chance.

Which means it's Ruby. And I believed her.

Ruby!

-She's got Mum and Clyde.

-And my mum saw it, we didn't. None of us.

Have you still got that photo of Ruby and Mr White?

-Here.

-K9, scan it.

Affirmative, Master Luke.

Scan reveals technology of Mr White unit is of Qetesh origin.

-What's a Qetesh?

-They are called Soul Stealers.

Skilled in manipulation, they create heightened emotional states

in their victims and drain their life essence.

Ruby's a Qetesh! Mum wasn't ill, Ruby was feeding from her!

Oh, Luke, I am so sorry.

She tricked you all, it's not your fault.

Alert! Image does not show entirety of Qetesh entity.

The human part is just the mouth. Qetesh stomach must be nearby.

The stomach?! Oh, my God! Sarah Jane!

No...

RUBY LAUGHS 'Oh...'

I can feel Sarah Jane Smith fading away.

-MR WHITE:

-'On schedule.'

-Not long now.

-Rani, get out of my way.

-You run in there and she will kill you.

-We need to think, you taught me to think, use logic!

-Logic?

Mr Smith should have seen this!

Inferior Smith was dominated by Qetesh "Mr White" unit.

-Typical.

-Well, can we get him back on our side?

Scans reveal that Mr White unit is a modified

and corrupted holographic entertainment system.

Of course. 5D holograms!

Rani, there never was a meteor or an invasion, it was all special effects.

Also, Mr White unit must control a teleport link.

-Which is how Clyde's got up there.

-Correct.

-So, Mr White, he's just a games console?!

-But massively upgraded.

-Can you wipe him, get rid of the upgrades?

-Reset him. See? Logic!

I can transmit a reset codec.

I can then assume control, release Mr Smith and rescue Master Clyde.

Then do it, now!

Regret. I will need direct access to transmit signal.

Oh, no!

No.

Wait.

K9, if we get this close to Mr White, can you send the signal that way?

Affirmative. Caution, audio relay not ideal,

it will take some minutes to complete reset.

-Some minutes. How many's some?

-Doesn't matter, let's go.

-Stop!

She'll know something's up if you walk in there!

-You can't...

-It's the only way, or Clyde and Sarah Jane will die.

Rani, Sarah Jane, Luke...

My time's almost up.

It'll soon be over. But you'll find the phone.

Sarah Jane, you're the best.

Don't ever beat yourself up about this, OK?

I've had the best time.

And tell Mum I had to go away, tell her I'm sorry...

And Luke?

Best mates, forever, yeah?

Rani...

you're brilliant.

I always...

I always...

Rani. How's Clyde?

How's everything?

Clyde's not good with his emotions. You know what blokes are like.

-Come here, Ruby, I need a hug.

-Oh!

-I thought you'd blame me.

-I'd never blame you.

You know we'll always be mates.

Clyde's just a bit touchy, cos of his dad. Look...

-I could do with a girly chat, though.

-Oh, OK.

How are you holding up? It must be really hard on you.

Oh, the shock of it.

She just sprang it on me last night, I've hardly slept.

-And I bet she didn't give you much choice.

-You know Sarah Jane.

I keep hoping she'll suddenly walk through the door, but...

if it really is me in charge, then, um...

I'm going to need you, Rani.

Oh, Ruby...

Oh! Oh, come on.

There, there, it'll be all right.

You and me...

And Clyde.

And Clyde...of course.

There's something else. I can say it, now she's gone.

Don't tell Clyde.

I prefer you to Sarah Jane. You're going to be so much more fun.

With Sarah Jane, it was just rules, rules, rules!

Don't wander off, do your homework. You know, to be honest,

-it's a relief she's gone.

-Oh, Rani. That's so sweet.

You shouldn't say things like that.

Because they're not very convincing!

Agh! Oh!

Right, I enjoyed you having to do that.

Now you're going to tell me why!

K9, now, it has to be now!

Contact!

MACHINE STARTS UP

'Contact.

'Factory settings restored.'

Clever...little girl!

-Get Clyde down! Teleport, now!

-Teleportation in ten seconds.

Oh, Rani... Mummy will be so upset.

Clyde!

Stay away from her!

-I know you'll never fire that.

-Course not.

I just want you standing there. Mr Smith, Containment Vortex now!

A force field, how quaint.

Don't think this is going to hold me for long.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Rani, I love you.

Mr White, my mum, where is she?

'Your mother's in the cellar at Number 46, Old Forest Road.'

Eugh, that must be Ruby's stomach.

-Mum!

-Her what?

My stomach!

-'Vortex compromised.'

-Better start running.

'Vortex compromised!'

Get over there, I'll deal with her.

Luke Smith, you really are your mother's son.

But it changes nothing.

She's finished! Clyde and Rani are next,

-and then I'm coming for you.

-'Containment Vortex critical.'

Mine, I think.

-BUZZ!

-Agh!

No chance! Give it up, now!

'I have blocked all teleport transmissions.'

Well, I can still use my legs. My power is growing

and soon no-one on this planet will be safe from me!

Mr Smith, what she said! Her power's growing, so it's not ready yet.

'I do not understand you, Luke.'

Both of you, give me everything you've got on Qetesh!

The way they feed, the stomach. Mr White, clear hologram channels

for emergency transmission.

Sarah Jane!

-Get back!

-Oh, oh...

I knew...

Oh, I knew you could do it.

-We're getting out of here!

-I'm afraid not!

This is where the adventure ends. Yours, not mine.

I wouldn't normally do this, but for you three...

it'll be a pleasure.

Direct absorption of living flesh.

FRIGHTENED GASPS

Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith!

Qetesh! This is your one and only warning.

-Luke!

-Leave this planet now!

SHE LAUGHS

And here's sonny boy.

Are you threatening me? You're nothing!

Come and join the feast!

Mr White, hologram program now!

Of course Sarah Jane hasn't run off.

Bet Rani's with her and Langer right now, doing whatever it is they do.

Haresh!

Get down!

Agh!

You wanted thrills, Qetesh? Here they are!

Mr White's sending out a hologram! Everyone on Earth is seeing your meteor coming right to them!

Millions of them. He's giving it everything he's got!

-And you're giving her what she wants!

-But too much!

An emotional surge from six billion people all in one go.

It's overwhelming her.

CRIES OF PAIN

Feedback from the whole world.

Starter, main course, pudding, everything at once.

You've been super-sized!

It's going to splurge, I know it. It's going to splurge!

Ah! Oh, ah! Agh!

Everything you've taken from my mum, she's getting it back!

Thank you, Rani. Hello, Luke. Welcome home!

You aced it, Lukeyboy! Oh, look.

It didn't splurge!

OK.

It did.

Ruby... You made a big mistake coming here.

What we do, it isn't for thrills. It's not yours to take.

Sarah Jane...

-I underestimated you.

-No. You know me inside out.

I knew I could rely on Luke and Rani and Clyde.

I could always rely on them.

But my hunger, I need to feed. I can't help the way I am.

Yeah, but you didn't have to enjoy it so much. I wish I could help you. But I can't.

What are you going to do to me?

That teleport bracelet, a link to your prison? Where your people judged you should be.

Who am I to question their judgment?

No, no, don't send me back into the darkness.

Please, you understand!

I can't be alone, you know what that's like!

-Don't fall for it, Sarah Jane.

-Oh, Rani!

I wasn't born yesterday.

WATCH BUZZES

This isn't the end. I'll make you regret this!

You will suffer for this, Sarah Jane Smith!

'Gravity lock disengaging.'

This world will suffer!

HER VOICE FADES INTO THE DISTANCE

Right, Mr White is going straight into the safe.

-Can't I keep him? He's just a flashy games console now.

-Nice try. No.

No, Mum. I didn't see anything.

Probably just an advert or something.

One of those new 3D games. Yeah! I'll be home soon, I promise.

-Bye!

-3D games? I like that. Get Mr Smith to do a cover story.

'I take it I the combined efforts of myself and K9 were satisfactory?'

-You called him K9!

-'He's not so bad after all.

-'I've met worse.

-It is an equitable arrangement.'

Get a room, boys!

All of you saved me.

Every single one of you played a part.

Thank you. But don't think you're having an easy ride.

-We've got a planet to protect.

-You sure you're up to it?

Oh, Clyde. With a team like this? Yeah, I think I can go on forever.

-CAR HORN BEEPS OUTSIDE

-Oh, that's our ride.

-Ride where?

Pizza, cinema, whatever you like. I think we've earned one night off.

'Goodbye, Sarah Jane.'

Lukeyboy.

'Yes, there are amazing things up there in the universe.

'But they've got some very stiff competition down here on Earth.'
