0:00:02 > 0:00:0913 Bannerman Road is where Sarah Jane Smith lives and it's home to things way beyond your imagination.

0:00:09 > 0:00:13'There's an extra terrestrial super computer in the wall.

0:00:13 > 0:00:16'Her son, a genetically engineered boy genius,

0:00:16 > 0:00:19'a school girl investigator across the road,

0:00:19 > 0:00:21'her adopted daughter from another world,

0:00:21 > 0:00:26'and a whole universe of adventure, right here on the doorstep.'

0:00:42 > 0:00:45- Ready?- Always.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Where were you the day of the storm?

0:00:55 > 0:00:58You know the one I mean.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00No-one's ever going to forget that day.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02THUNDER AND LIGHTNING

0:01:02 > 0:01:04'I was at school.'

0:01:12 > 0:01:16So then, Clyde. Your starter for ten...

0:01:16 > 0:01:21What are the parallels between the fall of the French aristocracy in the 1790s

0:01:21 > 0:01:24- and the credit crunch of 2008?- Hmmm?

0:01:24 > 0:01:29- Well, Mrs Pittman always says history can teach us stuff about the present.- Yeah?

0:01:32 > 0:01:33Hey!

0:01:36 > 0:01:38The Silver Bullet?

0:01:38 > 0:01:41Every crook is a target in Blood River City.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Hey, this is good.- Do think so?

0:01:44 > 0:01:47Yeah. Really good. Don't see how he'll get you through your exam.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50But this is what I'm going to do when I finish school. Comics.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53The Silver Bullet's just one idea.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Wait till you see Susie June Jones, alien slayer.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Susie June Jones.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01You're joking. Tell me you're joking.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06Well, Sky, I hope you'll enjoy life at Park Vale.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Luke certainly flourished here.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11I like to learn stuff. There's lots I don't know yet.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13That's a very healthy attitude.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16These days, too many students think they know it all.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Oh, Sky's a keen student.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Clyde says I'm a bright spark.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24CRACKLING NOISES

0:02:27 > 0:02:29What on Earth?!

0:02:29 > 0:02:33Haresh, there seems to be a trout on your windowsill.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Excuse me, Sarah Jane, Sky.

0:02:36 > 0:02:41Some of our pupils have an over-developed sense of humour.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45SLAPPING NOISES

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Did you hear that?

0:02:49 > 0:02:50What's that?

0:03:02 > 0:03:04- Oh boy!- What's this all about?

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Now this looks dead fishy.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Mr Smith, I need you!

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Yes, Sarah Jane. How can I help you?

0:03:31 > 0:03:35Have you got a good recipe for the biggest fish pie in history?

0:03:35 > 0:03:40I have been monitoring reports of the unusual storm over London.

0:03:40 > 0:03:41I love this planet.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44When you think you get fish in the sea, they start coming out the sky.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47There have been many reports of fish raining from the sky.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50- There is a meteorological explanation.- You mean it's natural?

0:03:50 > 0:03:54Storms and tornadoes suck fish out of the water into the upper atmosphere.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56They freeze, then later, they come raining down.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00But those fish are small. Wouldn't satisfy next door's cat.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03Mr Smith, the fish today, they were this big.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08No? Well, still not natural.

0:04:08 > 0:04:12- Mr Smith, I want you to scan for alien energies.- Of course.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16Oh, and, Mr Smith, better cast your net pretty wide. SHE LAUGHS

0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Oh, don't encourage him. - I'm glad Sky turned up.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Finally there's someone here who appreciates my comic genius.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26Sarah Jane, you may be interested to know that the Museum of Culture

0:04:26 > 0:04:29is currently staging an exhibition of totem poles.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Among them is what has become known as the Totem of the Lost Tribe.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Oh, my dad wants to see that.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38Said they found in a cave, like it had been hidden.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42- I still don't get the connection.- It was discovered in the Mojave Desert.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46A legend surrounding its discovery suggests when it was first removed from the cave,

0:04:46 > 0:04:50a storm came out of nowhere, and it rained fish.

0:04:54 > 0:04:59- What's in a museum? - Dead things, mostly.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02And people like to look at dead things? Isn't that a bit weird?

0:05:02 > 0:05:06- If you ask me, yeah. - Museums help preserve our past, Sky.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09- They're fascinating places. You'll see.- Mum and Dad met in a museum.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13How romantic. Though I never saw your mum as the museum type.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16- It was raining.- Ah.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19You got any spare change? Enough for a sandwich? Please?

0:05:19 > 0:05:24- Yes, sure, here. Get a bacon butty or something.- Cheers.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28- Why did she want money? - Because she's a scrounger.

0:05:28 > 0:05:33- Why did you give her some? - Cos it's probably not her fault.

0:05:41 > 0:05:46- Isn't it pretty?- I think the word you're looking for is creepy.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53Look at those faces.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58There really shouldn't be anything sinister about a totem pole.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02They were a kind of storybook carved from cedar trees to represent

0:06:02 > 0:06:05- myths or family histories. - Glad they're not my family.

0:06:05 > 0:06:11You're a funny-looking bunch, aren't you? Owww! Splinter!

0:06:11 > 0:06:14We would rather you didn't touch the exhibits.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Sorry, Clyde didn't mean any harm.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20Clyde Langer. I'm sorry. I just love art. Even when it does bite back.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Well, it looks like you came off worse.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27- Oh, did you get a splinter, you big baby?- My name's Sarah Jane Smith.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29- I'm a journalist. - Dr Samantha Madigan.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32I run the anthropology department here.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35I suppose you've made the connection between the totem pole

0:06:35 > 0:06:41- and fish raining from the skies?- It WAS the totem pole?- Of course not.

0:06:41 > 0:06:45- She's not really with us.- My daughter has quite a sense of humour.- Do I?

0:06:45 > 0:06:49Have to say, I couldn't have wished for a better publicity stunt.

0:06:49 > 0:06:54- Maybe Hetocumtek is on our side. - I'm sorry? Why Hetocumtek?

0:06:54 > 0:06:57Legend says Hetocumtek was a vicious warrior god who descended

0:06:57 > 0:07:01from the skies and tried to enslave the people of the Great Plains.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04But, the story goes that the tribes' greatest medicine men

0:07:04 > 0:07:10came together and tricked him, imprisoning him in a totem pole.

0:07:10 > 0:07:16- This totem pole?- Well, 'tis only a story. Now, if you'll excuse me...

0:07:18 > 0:07:21So what do you think, Sarah Jane? Hetocumtek -

0:07:21 > 0:07:25- warrior god or nasty alien? - Aliens masquerading as gods?

0:07:25 > 0:07:27It wouldn't be the first time.

0:07:27 > 0:07:31But I don't really believe in the magical powers of medicine men...

0:07:34 > 0:07:37..and according to my scans, there's no alien energy here.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40So if anything alien did cause today's shower of fish,

0:07:40 > 0:07:44it wasn't this totem pole or Hetocumtek.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48- Gotcha!- Come on.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58DRAMATIC MUSIC

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Hello, love. Was that Sarah Jane giving you a lift?

0:08:04 > 0:08:07Yeah, me and Rani were helping her mum at the shop

0:08:07 > 0:08:10- and Sarah Jane dropped by.- Oh, that's nice. Did you see the fish?- Yeah.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13That's school dinners sorted for the next week.

0:08:13 > 0:08:19- Could've come battered with chips, though.- They're saying it's some freak weather.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Anyway, I hate fish. When it's raining chocolate, let me know.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26I'll go and set the table.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30Oh, who needs chocolate when I've got my little Clydey?

0:08:30 > 0:08:36Ah, the day it starts raining Clyde Langers, that'll be a miracle.

0:08:40 > 0:08:47Sleep easy, Blood River City. The Silver Bullet is watching your back.

0:08:47 > 0:08:53The End. Clyde Langer.

0:08:53 > 0:08:54Step aside, Batman.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07DRAMATIC MUSIC

0:10:04 > 0:10:08Morning! What's the weather forecast today, then? Raining cats and dogs?

0:10:08 > 0:10:11Sunny and bright, apparently. Not a halibut in sight.

0:10:11 > 0:10:16Mr Smith hasn't been able to find anything to suggest an alien energy.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18So maybe for once we can stand down.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21Do you want to meet a hero who never stands down?

0:10:24 > 0:10:26The Silver Bullet!

0:10:26 > 0:10:30- Did you do this?- Of course. What do you think?- It's good.

0:10:30 > 0:10:34It's really good. Is this what you want to do? I mean, after school?

0:10:34 > 0:10:37Yeah, well, drawing's about the only thing I'm any good at, so...

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Don't do yourself down. You're bright.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42But there's no doubt art really is your thing!

0:10:42 > 0:10:45And I love comics, so I thought, why not?

0:10:45 > 0:10:50Look out, Stan Lee, here comes Clyde Langer.

0:10:50 > 0:10:54Rocket scientist or whatever is fine if you're a super-brain like Luke.

0:10:54 > 0:10:58- But me...- What do you mean, "super-brain"?- He is, isn't he?

0:10:58 > 0:11:01- He's a genius.- Yes, but the way you say it, it's a bad thing.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03As if there's something wrong.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07No. Sorry, I didn't mean anything like that. Luke's my best mate.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Are you all right?- No.

0:11:10 > 0:11:14To be honest, I'm sick of the way you're always making fun of my son.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Sarah Jane, what's going on?

0:11:16 > 0:11:17All you've ever done is tell him

0:11:17 > 0:11:20how uncool he was, what a geek, a freak he was.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24And all the time you're wasting your time with rubbish like this?!

0:11:24 > 0:11:26My son is worth a hundred of you!

0:11:26 > 0:11:29- And I've had just about as much as I'm going to take!- Sarah Jane?

0:11:29 > 0:11:35- Get out! Now! Take your stupid comic book with you!- What's going on?

0:11:35 > 0:11:40- I don't get it.- Get out! - This is crazy!- You want crazy?

0:11:40 > 0:11:43- I'll give you crazy!- No!

0:11:58 > 0:12:02- Hey, what's going on? - It's Sarah Jane.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06- She's just gone completely mental. - What are you talking about?

0:12:06 > 0:12:07Ah, Clyde Langer!

0:12:10 > 0:12:14- You get away from me! - What?- Leave my daughter alone!

0:12:14 > 0:12:19- What's going on? What did I do? I didn't do anything!- Dad...

0:12:19 > 0:12:22- keep him away from me! - We're mates.- Keep away from her!

0:12:22 > 0:12:25- You're no friend of my daughter. - This is mad. We're friends!

0:12:25 > 0:12:30You're mad if you think I'd be any friend of yours. I hate you!

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Rani...

0:12:32 > 0:12:36I'll give you ten seconds. I don't want you anywhere near my daughter.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Understood? As far as school goes...you're excluded.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42You can't do that.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44Something's got at you. Both of you.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47And Sarah Jane. I don't know what it is.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50But none of it's real. Think about it...please!

0:12:50 > 0:12:52- I haven't done anything! - You're out of time!

0:12:52 > 0:12:55Come anywhere near me again, I'm calling the police.

0:12:55 > 0:12:59All right, I'm gone. But there's something going on here.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01- And I'm going to fix it. - You do what you like.

0:13:01 > 0:13:05But I don't want to see you again! Not ever!

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Sarah Jane, are you all right?

0:13:20 > 0:13:23Yes, Mr Smith. I'm fine.

0:13:23 > 0:13:27I am detecting an exceptionally high oscillation of beta brainwaves

0:13:27 > 0:13:30suggesting intense anger.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33- No, Mr Smith. I don't think so. - Oh. How curious.

0:13:33 > 0:13:38- Your beta brainwave activity is now normal.- Sarah Jane. How do I look?

0:13:38 > 0:13:43- Oh, you look marvellous! I'm so proud of you.- Why?

0:13:43 > 0:13:46- Because I put the school uniform on right?- No, no.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48Because you're on your way to school,

0:13:48 > 0:13:50and you've barely been on Earth a month.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53And I know this must all seem so strange to you,

0:13:53 > 0:13:55but you're very brave, Sky.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Why do I have to be brave at school? Will people try and hurt me there?

0:13:58 > 0:14:02No. No. No-one's going to try to hurt you.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04Well, it will seem strange,

0:14:04 > 0:14:07and you're going to be mixing with lots of new people.

0:14:07 > 0:14:11- It's going to be so exciting. - You see, that's what I mean.

0:14:11 > 0:14:16- Oh, you're going to be brilliant. - Will you be lonely without me today?

0:14:16 > 0:14:17Well, actually,

0:14:17 > 0:14:20I was thinking I might pay another visit to the museum.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24- I thought you said the totem pole wasn't alien.- No, no, it isn't.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26This is professional interest.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Mr Smith, has anyone run a story on the mythological connection

0:14:29 > 0:14:32between the shower of fish and the totem pole?

0:14:32 > 0:14:35- It appears not, Sarah Jane.- Perfect.

0:14:35 > 0:14:39While I'm getting my scoop, you'll be making new friends at school.

0:14:39 > 0:14:43- And don't worry, Rani will always be close by if you need her.- And Clyde.

0:14:43 > 0:14:47- SHOUTS:- You keep away from him!- Why?

0:14:47 > 0:14:50Just do as I say. Keep away from him.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53- Don't go anywhere near him. Do you hear me?!- Yes, Sarah Jane.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56I don't ever want to hear his name again!

0:14:56 > 0:15:00- Excuse me, but has Clyde upset you? - And that goes for you, too!

0:15:00 > 0:15:04In fact, I want you to put your sensors on a permanent scan for him.

0:15:04 > 0:15:09If he ever sets foot in Bannerman Road again,

0:15:09 > 0:15:10I want you to deal with him.

0:15:10 > 0:15:14- Understood, Sarah Jane. - Sky! Come on! School.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28Luke? It's Clyde.

0:15:28 > 0:15:32Look, I'm getting freaked out here. Something's....

0:15:32 > 0:15:35Luke...

0:15:35 > 0:15:39No, no, listen to me! I'm your friend! There's something...

0:15:39 > 0:15:41It's got to you, too.

0:15:43 > 0:15:44Luke!

0:15:47 > 0:15:50This is not happening. This is not happening.

0:15:53 > 0:15:57- Had enough of sixth form, then? - You all right, Steve?

0:15:57 > 0:16:01- So, what, too busy to come and play football with your mates?- Yeah.

0:16:01 > 0:16:07- Sort of. I'm sorry. How's your job-hunting going?- Yeah. Great.

0:16:07 > 0:16:11Got a Chelsea scout coming down this afternoon to watch me play,

0:16:11 > 0:16:14Quarter of a million a week, choice of my own WAG -

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Girls Aloud, Saturdays, you name it. It's brilliant, isn't it?

0:16:17 > 0:16:21- I'm sorry, mate.- Fancy a kickabout?

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Stuff to do. But, listen, Steve.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28- It was nice to see you, man. - No worries.

0:16:28 > 0:16:32Look, I tell you what, I'll put in a good word for you.

0:16:32 > 0:16:36I'll say, "Listen, Cheryl, I got a friend, Clyde Langer...

0:16:42 > 0:16:44- "He used to be all right."- Steve?

0:16:44 > 0:16:47"Now in sixth form. Thinks he's better than his mates."

0:16:47 > 0:16:52No. No, you've got it all wrong. You said my name! They all said my name!

0:16:52 > 0:16:55Steve! Listen to me, OK.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58This is going to sound crazy, but there's something wrong with my name!

0:16:58 > 0:17:01- It's like it's cursed! - We'll fix that!- No, Steve.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05You don't want to do this, OK? This isn't you. Just listen to me...

0:17:05 > 0:17:08And that's what I'll do to you.

0:17:08 > 0:17:13Get him! Stop him! He's getting away.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Where did he go?- Got to go somewhere.- Look, come on!

0:18:11 > 0:18:12Now what?

0:18:15 > 0:18:16Oh, excuse me.

0:18:16 > 0:18:20- Hi, Dr Madigan.- Hello. Weren't you here yesterday?- Yeah.

0:18:22 > 0:18:27Look, you're an expert on totem poles and Native American stuff, right?

0:18:27 > 0:18:32- And stuff. Lots of stuff, yes. - Do you know anything about curses?

0:18:32 > 0:18:39Native American curses? The most famous is the Curse of Tippecanoe.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42It was, or is, a curse on the Presidents of the United States.

0:18:42 > 0:18:46What about a curse that makes all your friends turn on you?

0:18:46 > 0:18:47I'm sorry?

0:18:52 > 0:18:55- I have to go.- I'd advise you to keep your distance from him.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59Sarah Jane, please, listen to me. This is some sort of curse.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02You're serious? You think you've been cursed?

0:19:02 > 0:19:04- He's a trouble-maker. - He's clearly distressed.

0:19:04 > 0:19:08All day, every one of my friends has been turning against me.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11- I think it's something to do with my name.- Don't waste your time.

0:19:11 > 0:19:15- Your name? It's Clyde, isn't it? - No, don't!- Clyde Langer.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22It's not just people that know me. It's everybody!

0:19:22 > 0:19:25I think you'd better leave. Or do I have to call security?

0:19:25 > 0:19:28- What did I tell you? - Is there a problem, Doctor?

0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Get him out of here.- Right, out. - No! It's the totem pole!

0:19:31 > 0:19:33Oi! That's enough! Get him, lads!

0:19:33 > 0:19:38Sarah Jane! Please remember me! I'm your friend!

0:19:38 > 0:19:41Police? I want to make a complaint. I'm being harassed.

0:20:02 > 0:20:03Mum?

0:20:11 > 0:20:12Mum?

0:20:22 > 0:20:24Mum...

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Where've you been?

0:20:26 > 0:20:29Just out. Why?

0:20:29 > 0:20:32You're always lying about where you've been...

0:20:32 > 0:20:35- No, Mum...- More lies. Always lies.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38Mum, whatever you're thinking, it's not real.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41You've seen my name. It's messing with your head.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44Don't touch me. How can I ever trust you?

0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Always skulking around, keeping secrets.- But this isn't real.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50- I haven't done anything. - I don't want you here.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52I don't want to look at you, hear you.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54I feel like I've had my soul torn out of me.

0:20:54 > 0:20:58I didn't do this. It's not my fault.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Tell me what it is I've done! Tell me what I've lied...

0:21:02 > 0:21:06You can't, can you? You can't because it's all a trick.

0:21:06 > 0:21:10You've all been tricked - you, Sarah Jane, Rani. Everybody.

0:21:10 > 0:21:14Yeah, I was tricked, all right. Life tricked me. The day you were born.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18- I've had enough now. And I want you out of here. Out of my life!- No!

0:21:18 > 0:21:20You don't mean that! SIRENS

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Mum, I love you. Please, don't do this.

0:21:23 > 0:21:24KNOCKING ON DOOR

0:21:24 > 0:21:26Police, open up.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Don't answer it!- And you wonder why I want you out of my life?

0:21:29 > 0:21:34I haven't done anything. It's the curse! It's taking everything over!

0:21:34 > 0:21:36He's through there.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02We're not alone now. We got each other.

0:22:02 > 0:22:09- ECHOING VOICES: - 'Oh, Clyde, you are brilliant.' - 'We are a team, Sarah Jane.'

0:23:20 > 0:23:22BANGS ON DOOR

0:23:35 > 0:23:38CLYDE SOBS

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Are you all right?

0:23:51 > 0:23:52Come with me.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Hiya. Sleep all right?

0:24:21 > 0:24:24You'll get used to it. At least it's dry.

0:24:25 > 0:24:29What was he thinking? Kipping out in the rain? Want to get sick?

0:24:31 > 0:24:34Like things can get any worse.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36If you want to try pneumonia, go for it.

0:24:36 > 0:24:42No, look, I'm sorry. This is all...sort of new to me.

0:24:42 > 0:24:46But thanks for bringing me here.

0:24:54 > 0:24:55I saw you the other day.

0:24:55 > 0:24:59- You gave me a couple of quid. - Oh, outside the museum?

0:24:59 > 0:25:05- Sorry, I didn't recognise you. - Course not. People don't look.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07- Scared they might catch something. - No. It's not that.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10I saw them chuck you out.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14What did you do, unravel a bit of a mummy to blow your nose?

0:25:14 > 0:25:17- That's not the only place I got thrown out.- Look,

0:25:17 > 0:25:21if you've had a row with your folks, go home.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23With any luck, you'll be nice and warm in bed tonight.

0:25:23 > 0:25:29- Spare us a thought.- Yeah, but I've got no-one. My mum, my friends...

0:25:29 > 0:25:33they're history. You're the first person that hasn't turned on me.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41I'm Ellie Faber. What about you?

0:25:48 > 0:25:51Enrico.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54Enrico...Box.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58OK.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11- What are you doing? - Having a clear-out.

0:26:11 > 0:26:15- There's too much clutter in this attic.- But those are Clyde's things.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17He should've taken them with him.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20I don't understand. What did he do to upset you so much?

0:26:20 > 0:26:23Listen to me, Sky, and remember - I don't want to hear his name again,

0:26:23 > 0:26:26and I don't want you to have anything to do with him. Clear?

0:26:26 > 0:26:28- Yeah.- Good.

0:26:49 > 0:26:54- So how long have you been living like this?- Two years.

0:26:54 > 0:27:00- Time doesn't mean much here.- How?

0:27:01 > 0:27:06My dad died, and my mum married again.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10Let's just say it didn't work out for me. OK?

0:27:10 > 0:27:13I'm sorry.

0:27:13 > 0:27:18Doesn't matter. You grow up fast out here.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21- There's a load of stuff that happens...- What sort of stuff?

0:27:22 > 0:27:27It's like everywhere else. There's good people, and there's bad...

0:27:27 > 0:27:31And there's the Night Dragon.

0:27:31 > 0:27:35- What's that? - Sometimes people disappear.

0:27:35 > 0:27:39I mean, how bad is that? We've already vanished once.

0:27:39 > 0:27:44- Maybe they find somewhere to go?- And don't tell anybody they're going?

0:27:44 > 0:27:47They're just gone.

0:27:47 > 0:27:53And then the next morning people say "the Night Dragon took them".

0:27:53 > 0:27:54And they never come back.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08School chips... best chips in the world.

0:28:08 > 0:28:12The menu said there was toad in the hole. Mr Smith said there are

0:28:12 > 0:28:16500 species of toad. When I asked which one we were having,

0:28:16 > 0:28:19the dinner lady didn't seem very pleased.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22So Mr Smith gave you a basic grounding for starting school

0:28:22 > 0:28:26by telling you about toads, and nothing about school dinners?

0:28:26 > 0:28:29Sounds just like him.

0:28:29 > 0:28:30I think he's nervous of me.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33He doesn't like me too close, in case I blow his circuits.

0:28:33 > 0:28:36He'll get used to you. You're one of the gang now.

0:28:38 > 0:28:40- Like Clyde? - Don't say that!

0:28:40 > 0:28:44He was your friend... and Sarah Jane's.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46No-one can tell me why you all turned on Clyde!

0:28:46 > 0:28:48I don't feel well.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56I looked you up on the internet.

0:28:56 > 0:29:00You have a reputation for investigating strange phenomena.

0:29:00 > 0:29:03So I thought maybe you'd come across something like this before.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05- What happened? - According to our security guard,

0:29:05 > 0:29:07lightning burst out of the totem pole.

0:29:07 > 0:29:09- That's impossible.- Of course...

0:29:09 > 0:29:13but I'm almost thinking there's truth in the legend after all.

0:29:15 > 0:29:17But it was dead...

0:29:17 > 0:29:18The myth says the medicine men

0:29:18 > 0:29:21trapped the god Hetocumtek in the totem pole,

0:29:21 > 0:29:24but warns that Hetocumtek would find a way to escape

0:29:24 > 0:29:27if ever the totem pole fell back into the hands of men.

0:29:27 > 0:29:30That's why it was hidden in a cave in Death Valley?

0:29:30 > 0:29:33- Well, it's only a legend. - PHONE RINGS

0:29:33 > 0:29:34No...

0:29:37 > 0:29:39Dr Madigan, I think it might be best

0:29:39 > 0:29:43- to close the exhibition for a while. Just as a precaution.- Of course.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51You got any spare change, mate?

0:29:51 > 0:29:55So you do this every day? Even in the rain?

0:29:55 > 0:29:57Well, you're hungry, I'm hungry.

0:29:57 > 0:30:00It's either this or going through the bins.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03Yeah, I've done that too.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06Have you got any spare change, mate?

0:30:06 > 0:30:09You sound like you're flogging china down the market. Too cocky.

0:30:09 > 0:30:11It's not cocky, it's charisma.

0:30:11 > 0:30:14Whoever heard of a homeless person with charisma?

0:30:17 > 0:30:20This is how it goes, isn't it?

0:30:20 > 0:30:23Everything you ever were, everything you ever wanted to be,

0:30:23 > 0:30:26it just gets worn away till there's nothing left.

0:30:26 > 0:30:31The people that make it were always fighters. Survivors.

0:30:31 > 0:30:37I'm one of them. You wouldn't believe some of the things I've done.

0:30:38 > 0:30:42- Creatures I've seen.- Creatures? Are you into wildlife, then?

0:30:42 > 0:30:46Yeah. It was a wild life.

0:30:49 > 0:30:51Let's go get something to eat.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04- MR SMITH: - Are you all right, Sarah Jane?

0:31:06 > 0:31:07Yeah...

0:31:07 > 0:31:12Something about that totem pole. It's alive, Mr Smith, I saw it.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14Just for a moment. I know I did.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18There's something terrible.

0:31:18 > 0:31:21It must have been dormant on your first visit to the museum.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24But there are now energies building around the totem pole.

0:31:24 > 0:31:27But why? That's what worries me.

0:31:37 > 0:31:41That's Max. He used to be a boxer, then he got too old.

0:31:41 > 0:31:43He's been on the streets years.

0:31:43 > 0:31:45That woman in the duffel coat...

0:31:45 > 0:31:49Polish, came over to get married. Got dumped. Can't get home.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51Polly the Porsche worked in the City.

0:31:51 > 0:31:55Always telling everyone what she used to drive.

0:31:55 > 0:31:59- Now she pushes everything she's got around in an old trolley.- No way.

0:31:59 > 0:32:02All of them, ignoring us on the street.

0:32:02 > 0:32:05They wouldn't believe how easy it could be.

0:32:05 > 0:32:09One day it just all falls apart, and you're here.

0:32:09 > 0:32:11Steven's Point. Getting hand-outs.

0:32:13 > 0:32:17All right, Mags? How's the tea leaves?

0:32:17 > 0:32:19Hello, love.

0:32:19 > 0:32:22This is Mystic Mags. This is my friend, Rico.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25If you want the lottery numbers, she's your girl.

0:32:25 > 0:32:29Mock - but there's strange things in the air.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32- Yeah. Like fish. - Something bad's coming!

0:32:33 > 0:32:38- You mean the Night Dragon? - Aagh! The dragon's coming.

0:32:39 > 0:32:42I can see it in the leaves.

0:32:42 > 0:32:47It's always in the leaves, before one of us is taken.

0:32:47 > 0:32:52But this isn't no dragon. Something else.

0:32:57 > 0:32:59And it's put its mark on you.

0:33:01 > 0:33:07- What?- There's a curse on you, and everyone what knows you.

0:33:09 > 0:33:13- Cut it out, Mags.- She's right.

0:33:14 > 0:33:17- She's right, I'm cursed. - What are you talking about?

0:33:17 > 0:33:21I'm only ever going to get you into trouble, Ellie.

0:33:21 > 0:33:24Thanks for trying to help me. But you can't, no-one can.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28Hey, wait...!

0:33:30 > 0:33:33- Rico... Rico, wait! - My name's not Rico!

0:33:33 > 0:33:38What? Your name's not really Enrico Box? Who'd have guessed(?)

0:33:38 > 0:33:42- It doesn't matter. - I can't tell you my name.

0:33:42 > 0:33:48- She was right. - What, you're cursed? Look at ME.

0:33:48 > 0:33:49Welcome to the club!

0:33:50 > 0:33:52- Loser!- Watch it...

0:33:54 > 0:33:58See? You can't be cursed. You're my lucky charm.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06SNARLING

0:34:19 > 0:34:22- Are you coming down with something? - No, I'm fine.

0:34:22 > 0:34:26You've not said a word since we left the shops. Come on, what's wrong?

0:34:26 > 0:34:29Rani... Love, what is it?

0:34:31 > 0:34:33I don't know.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38It's like something's wrong...

0:34:41 > 0:34:47It feels like...I've lost something really special, only...

0:34:47 > 0:34:48I don't know what it is.

0:34:49 > 0:34:53- That doesn't make any sense.- I know it doesn't. And it's driving me mad.

0:34:56 > 0:34:57But I can't shake it.

0:35:00 > 0:35:03It's like... nothing's right any more.

0:35:05 > 0:35:08My whole life, Dad, it's like...

0:35:08 > 0:35:10it's like it's not me any more.

0:35:13 > 0:35:17SHE SNIFFS

0:35:20 > 0:35:25So, how are you settling in with Sarah Jane? Have you met Luke yet?

0:35:25 > 0:35:29He's such a lovely boy. He was such big friends with...

0:35:30 > 0:35:34- Mrs Langer...? - This keeps happening to me.

0:35:34 > 0:35:38Something comes into my head, and... I don't know what.

0:35:38 > 0:35:42It's like, a part of my world has gone and...I don't know what it is.

0:35:42 > 0:35:47- Is it Clyde?- Don't use that name in my house!- Why? I don't understand.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50Everybody's turned against him, but nobody can tell me why!

0:35:50 > 0:35:54- Just be glad he's gone!- But Clyde's your son. Don't you love him?

0:35:54 > 0:35:57- I told you, don't say that name! - It's just a name, Mrs Langer.

0:35:57 > 0:36:02- Clyde is your son's name. - It hurts! Stop saying it!

0:36:02 > 0:36:05That's it... It's his name, his name's doing all this...

0:36:05 > 0:36:09It's going to be all right, Mrs Langer. Somehow, I promise.

0:36:09 > 0:36:12GROWLING AND SNARLING

0:36:16 > 0:36:19THUNDER CRACKS

0:36:20 > 0:36:23I've never seen so much thunder and lightning.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26It's like flippin' Transylvania. Just wetter.

0:36:26 > 0:36:30Why didn't we go back to Camp Cardboard?

0:36:31 > 0:36:34The streets make people superstitious.

0:36:34 > 0:36:38Mystic Mags will have told everyone you're "cursed".

0:36:38 > 0:36:40Well?

0:36:41 > 0:36:44Well, what we need here is paper.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13Where were you the day of the storm?

0:37:13 > 0:37:17You know the one I mean. No-one's ever going to forget that day.

0:37:19 > 0:37:20I was at school.

0:37:20 > 0:37:25I was on the street, and then this fish drops between my feet.

0:37:25 > 0:37:26Splat!

0:37:28 > 0:37:31It was totally random.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33Well, at least you had something to eat.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36Yeah, like I know what to do with a fish.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38Might as well have rained bricks.

0:37:38 > 0:37:42- Someone said it was a weird weather thing.- Yeah, I heard that, too.

0:37:43 > 0:37:47So, what if the fish was some sort of sign...

0:37:47 > 0:37:51that something bad was coming, like Mystic Mags said?

0:37:52 > 0:37:56- Worse than the Night Dragon? - Yeah, really bad.

0:37:58 > 0:38:02I've been through bad stuff in my life...

0:38:02 > 0:38:07- Maybe it doesn't matter now. - I don't understand.

0:38:07 > 0:38:12For two years, I've been telling myself I'll get off the street.

0:38:12 > 0:38:18I'll get on some sort of scheme. Get a job, get a flat.

0:38:18 > 0:38:19Get my life back.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23Meet a nice boy.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29That was my dream. Now it's starting to come true.

0:38:40 > 0:38:42THUNDER CRACKS

0:38:43 > 0:38:48ROARING AND GROANING

0:38:50 > 0:38:52It feels like someone has died? But you don't know who?

0:38:52 > 0:38:56- It's like someone special has been taken from you?- Yeah, that's it.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59- That's exactly it. - I've been feeling it, too.

0:38:59 > 0:39:03- What's going on? - Something really weird.

0:39:03 > 0:39:06The only thing I can think is it's something to do with the totem pole.

0:39:06 > 0:39:09There's an energy in it, it's been dormant

0:39:09 > 0:39:10but it's getting stronger.

0:39:10 > 0:39:12Getting stronger?! Since when?

0:39:12 > 0:39:16Oh, some time after we all went to the museum.

0:39:16 > 0:39:18- Argh!- Since Clyde touched the totem pole?

0:39:18 > 0:39:21- Since he got that splinter? - Don't say that name!

0:39:21 > 0:39:22Mr Smith, I need you!

0:39:22 > 0:39:25- What are you doing?!- It's the only way I can make you listen to me!

0:39:26 > 0:39:30Mr Smith, when Clyde got the splinter from the totem pole,

0:39:30 > 0:39:32- could it have activated it? - Stop saying that!

0:39:32 > 0:39:35- It is conceivable. - None of this makes sense, Sky.

0:39:35 > 0:39:38You turning your back on Clyde doesn't make sense!

0:39:38 > 0:39:42Even his mum's thrown him out. She feels the same as you and Rani,

0:39:42 > 0:39:44like something's been torn from her life,

0:39:44 > 0:39:47- and she can't remember what it is! - Well, it isn't him! I hate him!

0:39:47 > 0:39:51Why, Rani? Think about it!

0:39:51 > 0:39:53You both love Clyde.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55You'd never turn your backs on him.

0:39:55 > 0:39:59The only way this could happen is some alien messing with your heads.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02- Clyde needs us. - Stop saying that name! Please!

0:40:02 > 0:40:06Sarah Jane, your reaction to his name suggests that Sky is correct.

0:40:06 > 0:40:09You have been subjected to a psychophonic programming,

0:40:09 > 0:40:12possibly designed to keep Clyde isolated.

0:40:12 > 0:40:15- Well, say that's true. Why? - Because Hetocumtek needs Clyde.

0:40:15 > 0:40:17What if it's found a way to escape?

0:40:17 > 0:40:22The longer Clyde's out there, the more powerful it's getting.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25The legend said that if the totem pole fell

0:40:25 > 0:40:28back into the hands of men, then Hetocumtek would escape.

0:40:28 > 0:40:30The hands of men!

0:40:30 > 0:40:32Clyde got a splinter!

0:40:32 > 0:40:34It's a curse and you've got to break it!

0:40:34 > 0:40:36That name. Just the sound of it, it's agony.

0:40:36 > 0:40:37It hurts!

0:40:37 > 0:40:39His name's the key.

0:40:40 > 0:40:45His mum couldn't say it. Maybe if you can, it will break the curse.

0:40:55 > 0:40:58Oh, it's no good.

0:40:58 > 0:41:00You've got to! We've got to find Clyde!

0:41:00 > 0:41:04It's the only way of stopping Hetocumtek escaping!

0:41:05 > 0:41:09- We can do this, Rani.- It's just a name. We can say it, right?

0:41:10 > 0:41:15- OK...- Say it! Say it! Come on. Clyde Langer! Clyde Langer!

0:41:21 > 0:41:22Clyde...

0:41:24 > 0:41:25Clyde...

0:41:25 > 0:41:27Clyde...

0:41:27 > 0:41:29Clyde!

0:41:30 > 0:41:33- Clyde...- Clyde Langer!- Clyde...

0:41:33 > 0:41:37- Clyde Langer!- Clyde Langer!

0:41:37 > 0:41:40BOTH: Clyde Langer! Clyde Langer!

0:41:40 > 0:41:42Oh! Clyde Langer!

0:41:46 > 0:41:48Oh...

0:41:48 > 0:41:52Now the most important thing is we get Clyde back!

0:41:52 > 0:41:54ROARING AND GROWLING

0:41:59 > 0:42:03Look. What do you think?

0:42:05 > 0:42:07That's brilliant.

0:42:07 > 0:42:09I thought I could do this, like a street artist.

0:42:09 > 0:42:11We could go to Covent Garden

0:42:11 > 0:42:14and people will pay to have their portraits drawn.

0:42:14 > 0:42:18- On the back of old paper bags? - No, I'll get a drawing pad.

0:42:18 > 0:42:21I've got the pencils. I'm telling you, Ellie, we can do this.

0:42:21 > 0:42:23We can get off the streets together.

0:42:31 > 0:42:34Stay here. I'm going to go and get us a coffee to share.

0:42:34 > 0:42:35I feel like celebrating.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39TYRES SCREECH OK.

0:42:39 > 0:42:40Clyde!

0:42:41 > 0:42:43Sarah Jane!

0:42:43 > 0:42:44Rani?

0:42:44 > 0:42:45Clyde!

0:42:47 > 0:42:49SHE LAUGHS

0:42:49 > 0:42:53I'm so sorry. What have I done?

0:42:53 > 0:42:55We've been looking for you all night.

0:42:55 > 0:42:58Thank Sky. The curse didn't affect her.

0:42:58 > 0:43:00- She fought so hard for you. - Thank you, Sparky.

0:43:00 > 0:43:03Something alien is trapped in the totem pole.

0:43:03 > 0:43:06And somehow it's using you to get free.

0:43:06 > 0:43:09- If it does, we are in trouble. - We need you back at the attic.

0:43:09 > 0:43:11I've got to wait for someone - my friend!

0:43:11 > 0:43:13There isn't time! We have to go!

0:43:13 > 0:43:14I can't leave. You don't understand.

0:43:14 > 0:43:18We have to go, Clyde! We have to go. Please!

0:43:18 > 0:43:23- Ellie!- Oh...- Ellie! - Clyde, listen to me!

0:43:23 > 0:43:25That thing could break free at any moment!

0:43:30 > 0:43:31I'm coming back.

0:43:36 > 0:43:39- MR SMITH:- Clyde. Welcome back. Sarah Jane, I have hacked into

0:43:39 > 0:43:43a passing Chorium trading vessel's transmat systems.

0:43:43 > 0:43:46- Mr Smith, do it! - Locking onto the Culture Museum.

0:43:46 > 0:43:50Bringing totem pole to the attic...now.

0:43:50 > 0:43:52ROARING AND GROANING

0:43:55 > 0:43:59The psychophonic curse must be reversed.

0:43:59 > 0:44:01THUNDER CRACKS

0:44:01 > 0:44:03Do as I told you, Clyde. Now!

0:44:03 > 0:44:07ROARING GETS LOUDER

0:44:07 > 0:44:09It's fighting back!

0:44:09 > 0:44:11THEY SCREAM

0:44:11 > 0:44:13What's happening?

0:44:13 > 0:44:16Clyde, you're the only one that can stop all this!

0:44:18 > 0:44:21THUNDER BOOMS

0:44:23 > 0:44:25You tried to ruin my life.

0:44:25 > 0:44:30To take away everything and everyone that was most important to me.

0:44:30 > 0:44:34But I'm a survivor and you failed, you big plank.

0:44:34 > 0:44:35IT SNARLS

0:44:37 > 0:44:39My name's Clyde Langer!

0:44:39 > 0:44:41My name...is Clyde Langer!

0:44:43 > 0:44:46My name...is CLYDE LANGER!

0:45:05 > 0:45:07Team Sarah Jane?

0:45:07 > 0:45:10THEY LAUGH

0:45:21 > 0:45:22Mum?

0:45:32 > 0:45:34I love you, Clyde.

0:45:41 > 0:45:45- She's not here.- London's a big city, Clyde. Ellie could be anywhere.

0:45:45 > 0:45:48I've got to find her. Come on, let's try Steven's Point.

0:45:50 > 0:45:51Her name's Ellie.

0:45:51 > 0:45:5416 or 17, with a green coat.

0:45:55 > 0:45:56Have you seen this girl?

0:45:56 > 0:45:59- Have you seen Ellie?- No, sorry, mate.

0:45:59 > 0:46:01- Have you seen this girl?- Nah.

0:46:04 > 0:46:07She was the only friend I had when...when you all turned on me.

0:46:07 > 0:46:10And now she thinks I abandoned her like everyone else has.

0:46:10 > 0:46:11But I haven't!

0:46:11 > 0:46:14I won't, not ever.

0:46:16 > 0:46:19- I will find her.- I know, Clyde.

0:46:20 > 0:46:24I just can't believe, after all the things we've seen,

0:46:24 > 0:46:27the most alien world of all is right here.

0:46:27 > 0:46:30And no-one knows. Because they don't want to.

0:46:34 > 0:46:36Mate, have you seen this girl?

0:46:37 > 0:46:39- No, mate.- All right. Thanks anyway.

0:46:43 > 0:46:44We can find her, can't we?

0:46:44 > 0:46:47We've got Mr Smith. We find aliens.

0:46:47 > 0:46:51We help them get home, right across the universe.

0:46:51 > 0:46:54We can help Ellie, can't we? We can find her.

0:46:54 > 0:46:57Clyde. Look.

0:46:57 > 0:46:59"Ellie Faber".

0:46:59 > 0:47:02It wasn't her name. She just took it off an old poster.

0:47:06 > 0:47:08The Night Dragon took her.

0:47:12 > 0:47:15What, that was the Night Dragon? A truck?

0:47:15 > 0:47:16Comes by every so often.

0:47:16 > 0:47:19The drivers will sometimes give you a lift,

0:47:19 > 0:47:22Glasgow, Dublin, France, Germany...

0:47:22 > 0:47:24they go all over the place.

0:47:24 > 0:47:29It's another chance. That's why people go.

0:47:33 > 0:47:35She's gone.

0:47:36 > 0:47:39She meant a lot to you, didn't she?

0:47:39 > 0:47:41Come on. Let's go home.

0:48:15 > 0:48:18Luke! Oh, welcome home!

0:48:18 > 0:48:21Hi, I'm Joseph Serf.

0:48:21 > 0:48:23- Something weird happened. - He glitched.

0:48:23 > 0:48:25Enhancing...

0:48:25 > 0:48:29If want to speak to Mr Serf, just to tell him there are no...glitches.

0:48:29 > 0:48:32Call me Sarah Jane.

0:48:32 > 0:48:33I can't shake your hand.

0:48:33 > 0:48:35So, what, he's a hologram?

0:48:35 > 0:48:37Gotcha!

0:48:37 > 0:48:39What is going on?
