The Mask of the Berserker: Part 2

No! Make it stop.
What are you? The more you use it, it's like it talks to you.
I think it's evil.
Hello, son.
Dad? 'Jogging's for wimps.
' Get doing some push-ups, yeah? You take your dad to the attic and he comes down and my dad's doing what your dad tells him to! Don't you go round accusing my dad of nicking stuff! Forget about those two.
You see? He's got it.
I want you to forget about them completely.
Clyde! Sorry, do I know you? Are you OK, son? Yeah, yeah.
I'm fine.
You don't want to go back to Luke and Rani? Who? Oh, er, it doesn't matter.
Dad, what's that? That's our future, Clydey-boy.
Don't worry about it.
I won't worry about it.
So, how about you and me, we go away for a bit? I don't know.
I should call Mum and let her know what we're up to.
You don't need to call your mum.
PENDANT FIZZES I don't need to call my mum.
No.
So, you want to go on a trip? Have you got a car? Oh, yeah.
Back in Germany.
But we could always get a new one.
He can do anything.
He's got the pendant and he used it to make Clyde forget who we are! Mum would know what to do.
But if we call her, we'll have to tell her Clyde brought his dad here.
But, if we don't then No, it doesn't matter, just call her.
SPEED DIALS It's no good, Travast Polong! I'm going to find you.
IT CHATTERS AND LAUGHS No answer.
I just don't know what to do.
I do.
Wakey-wakey! COMPUTER BLEEPS What is it, Dad? Your computer is beeping.
Someone wants to talk to you.
Stop it beeping.
COMPUTER BEEPS Luke! Tell him what time it is here! Shut up! .
.
Hey, how are you? 'I'm fine, but, I need your help.
' We need your help.
Maria? 'Hi! Rani, yeah? Luke's told me all about you.
'How are you finding the whole alien thing?' Yeah, it's cool.
All right, it's more than that.
It's uber-cool.
Tell me about it! So, what can I do for you? Actually, it's your dad we wanted to talk to.
Dad? Yes, love? They want to talk to you! Me? Cool.
Uber-cool, in fact.
Hey, Luke.
'Mr Jackson, Sarah Jane's not here, we need you.
' We're sending over a picture now.
'It's a drawing of an alien pendant.
'I'm Rani, by the way.
' Nice to meet you.
What do you want me to do? 'You can hack into any computer, can't you, Mr Jackson? 'We need you to get into UNIT.
See if they know what this pendant is.
' What's UNIT? Unified Intelligence Taskforce.
They're like the army, but they deal with aliens.
I won't even ask how you know that.
'OK, OK, let's do it.
' Good afternoon, sir.
Can I help you? All right, mate? We're looking for a motor.
Something flashy, that'll turn girls' heads.
Of course, sir.
What sort of price range are we looking at? Oh, money's not a problem.
We offer a number of different payment schemes.
Save the patter, mate.
I'm having this one.
It is a bit on the expensive side, sir.
I'm sure it is, but you're going to give it to us for free.
PENDANT FIZZES ALIEN VOICES I-I'm going to give it to you for free.
MOBILE RINGS Hello? Hi, Clyde.
You think you don't know me, but you do, so please just listen.
Look, who are you? And why is your number in my phone? I just I'm your best friend.
You're a freak.
Get lost.
You ready? You betcha! FOOTSTEPS APPROACH I gave my dad some water, but he won't stop.
HE PANTS ENGINE REVS, TYRES SCREECH How's it going? Getting there.
They've got firewalls.
I did think we'd left this sort of thing behind us.
A-ha! Got it.
Oh, my God.
Dad? It's the UNIT archives.
A photo.
December, 1940.
What is it? It's what happens to you when you use the pendant.
Do you remember when you were a kid and I said one day, I'd show you the world? Well, that's today, my son.
What's that? DISTORTED VOICE: Don't worry about it.
I won't worry about it.
Arrr UNIT know about it.
The pendant belongs to this race of creatures - the Berserkers.
'From Norse mythology?' Still the brainbox, Luke? The Berserkers were warriors who put on animal skins as armour.
And they were vicious, and mad and Berserk? 'Exactly.
'According to UNIT, they're this race of superbad alien soldiers who, 'to build up their army, sent out loads of these pendants.
' How did one end up at the school? 'The last sighting of it was at the Park Vale army barracks in Ealing.
'In December, 1940, the base was destroyed by a German bomb.
'And that's where they built the school.
' What does it actually do to you? Every time you use it, it changes you.
The Beserkers weren't wearing animal skins, they were changing into something people couldn't recognise.
If Clyde's dad is using the pendant, he's turning into one of the Berserkers.
Luke, Clyde's in real danger.
OK.
Well, we'll deal with it.
We'll find them.
How? He won't tell us where he is.
'He doesn't know us any more.
' I reckon I can help with that.
Well, UNIT can.
They've got a satellite tracking system.
I need to put in Clyde's mobile phone number.
Got him! You having fun? Oh, yeah! D'you want more fun? Oh, yeah! MUSIC: "See The World" by The Kooks INAUDIBLE Look at that.
Put it on.
Put these on.
They're cool.
They're cool.
Get in the car.
We don't have time.
You can play later.
I want some more stuff.

Kings of the World! You OK? Come on, what is it? It doesn't matter.
Just tell me what you're thinking.
UNEARTHLY VOICES Why did you leave me? Me and your mum.
We weren't working.
I know, but did you even try? Yeah, of course I did, but, these things happen.
But you left me.
I mean, today, it's been brilliant and mad and everything, but you left me.
I was just a kid and you died.
I didn't die! That's what it was like.
My whole life up until that point had been you, Mum and me.
The three of us.
And then suddenly it was just me and Mum.
And I was so scared.
Every night, when I went to bed, I thought, "What if Mum leaves me? "What if I wake up and it's just me "alone?" I never realised.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, I know.
Look, I just want to make it up to you.
I want to make it better.

It's just us from now on.
MOBILE RINGS Why isn't he answering? Where is he? Luke's got it switched on.
Can you get it to work? And who are you talking to? Oh, just one of Luke's geeky mates.

I'm not useless or cool or scared.
I'm a soldier.
I'm a Berserker.
I could get the pendant, put things right.
No.
I'm not going to let that happen.
What then? I can't lose him.
Look at him.
Deep down, he needs to know who he really is.
Clyde, be careful.
Dad? Remember the park in Hounslow where you used to take me? Just think back to that.
Argh! Be careful, Clyde.
Remember Ich heisse Clyde Langer.
Ahh! Remember how you felt when you first met me.
Remember how you came back for me.
I remember.
Look at the mirror.
Look at your reflection.
That isn't you.
Just remember what you are.
Remember before the pendant, no Beserkers, no mind control.
That's not you, Paul.
You need to remember who you are.
Argh! A-argh! That's it.
You're human.
Just like the rest of us.
ALL: Oh! HE GROANS SALESMAN: Where's the car gone? Clyde? You're not gonna cry, are you? THEY LAUGH All right, Rani? Hi, Mum.
Oh, my darling! I love you, Mum.
Dad? Come on, back to the car.
They need to talk.
How did you know where to find us? We tried calling you.
Alan searched the NHS database and found out which hospital I was in and he got a message to me.
I've got some very clever friends.
What about this? You know what to do.
I've got it, haven't I? I've got my family back.
The three of us, back together.
Mum, Dad and me.
It doesn't work though.
You can't make us be together.
I could.
I could use this.
Make you love each other again.
And history would repeat itself.
We'd fall out.
We'd argue.
We'd be unhappy, then I'd leave.
Walk away.
I could stop you.
You could.
Yeah! It wouldn't be real.
I'm going back to the car.
Are you coming? I want to say bye to Dad first.
I'm sorry.
