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.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Sleep all right?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10What was he thinking, kipping in the rain?
0:24:10 > 0:24:15- I'm Ellie Faber. - I'm Enrico. Enrico...Box.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18What did he do to upset you so much?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Listen to me, Sky, and remember, I don't want to hear his name again.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23According to our guard,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- lightning burst out of the totem pole.- That's impossible.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29It might be best if you close the exhibition for a while.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33He was your friend. No-one can say why you all turned on Clyde.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- I don't feel well.- Something about that totem pole is alive.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- I saw it.- Everything you were, wanted to be,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41it gets worn away till there's nothing left.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44I've lost something special, I don't know what it is.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- Just be glad he's gone.- But Clyde's your son, don't you love him?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- I told you, don't say that name. - Something bad's coming
0:24:51 > 0:24:56and it's always in the leaves. And it's put its mark on you...
0:24:56 > 0:24:59and everyone that knows you.
