The Sarah Jane Adventures s02e12 Episode Script

What do you want? Your help.
Do you hate me for giving you life? The Bane get hold of this and they take over the galaxy.
Hello, Sir Alistair.
Sarah Jane Smith.
I need to break into the Black Archive.
We have to stop them bringing him back to life.
Security breach! Oh, the sweetness of revenge! Typical.
I turn vegetarian, and now I'm Bane munchies.
What happened to Mrs Wormwood? Don't know.
Could be one of these, for all I can tell.
Tap! Come on! Go! Nothing eats Clyde Langer without a fight.
Your kindred have the half-forms trapped.
They're not my kindred, Kaagh.
Not any more.
I'm like you.
An outcast with no family.
Then they will feast on the Smith woman's boy and his friend.
No.
Not today.
Kaagh, my phonic disruptor needs an energy boost.
I think they're done playing with their food.
Bane Kindred! Humans are off the menu! Nice one, Mrs W.
CAR SCREECHES TO A HALT Luke! I told you to stay away from her! She saved our lives.
It's true.
We were Bane bait, then Mrs W fixed them with her ring thing.
Saving human lives is becoming a bit of a habit with me, Miss Smith.
I do hope we can conclude our business together before I am scarred for life.
Do you have the scroll? Yes.
Then give it to me.
I don't think this is the right time.
Half of UNIT is probably headed this way right now! Miss Chandra's right.
We should be on our way.
And, ermwho are you? Brigadier Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, at your service.
I know the last place UNIT'll look for us.
Let's go! Hiding out in a flower shop? I think it's an excellent idea.
Rani's right, it's the last place UNIT will look.
Tea.
Come on, Mum's got a kettle out the back.
So, now may I see the scroll? I should thank you.
For saving Luke and Clyde.
Oh, there's no need.
I am an outcast from the Bane Kindred.
Their only interest in me now is one of digestion.
I take the deepest satisfaction in ensuring they go hungry.
Don't you have any children of your own? Any - what would you call them - spawn? No.
I am alone.
Completely.
I was alone.
For a long, long time.
Until I met Luke.
Then perhaps you should be indebted to me, for enriching your sad, purposeless life.
Don't push it, Wormwood! Just give me the scroll.
First, tell me exactly how you were able to save Luke and Clyde.
Mr Smith's containment vortex is designed to draw the energy from any weapon confined within it.
How very ingenious.
And how unfortunate.
Not another inch, Mrs Wormwood.
The battle of the costume jewellery counter, how very female.
Perhaps what we need here is a more masculine influence.
Kaagh! Kaagh! A Sontaran always keeps an oath of vengeance.
You alien chaps never get the message, do you? The sonic lipstick.
No! You will regret doing that, Kaagh.
You shall regret robbing me of the honour of Sontar - for all eternity! Kaagh and I both have a score to settle, Miss Smith.
Our vengeance will span a galaxy.
Kaagh has the Consciousness of Horath.
He is the Bane's agent! And you're both double-crossing them.
I could never return to Sontar.
What sort of soldier is beaten by a female and half-forms? I was reduced to working as a mercenary for the Bane.
Kaagh was carrying the Consciousness of Horath for the Bane when he recognised me on a planet in the Snake-Tongue Nebula.
The Bane had put a high price on my head.
But I encouraged Kaagh to see the bigger picture - a much bigger picture.
So, give me the scroll.
Don't do it, Sarah Jane! Oh, I suggest you do.
Or Kaagh will disintegrate your friends, one at a time.
You're mad! It will destroy you.
It will destroy everything.
Oh, really, Miss Smith.
You're so negative.
Power has such beauty, hasn't it, Kaagh? Power is the most beautiful thing in the universe.
Shall I destroy them now? No! Leave them alone, Mrs Wormwood! My mum's given you what you wanted, now get out! Such a brave boy.
So much more than a boy.
Keep away from him! Luke, I will spare your friends, if you will come with me.
No! He's going nowhere with you.
He is my son! And I gave him the intelligence to make his own choices.
Well, Luke? No, Luke! Very well, then you all die.
Kaagh? I'll come with you! But you don't hurt anyone.
You have to promise.
No, Luke! I promise you, Sarah Jane Smith, that as long as you can resist that infuriating tendency to meddle, Luke will be safe.
Take him away, Kaagh.
Luke! I love you! And I love you! We are not finished, Mrs Wormwood! Oh, I think we are, Miss Smith.
THEY SCREAM IN PAIN GATE CREAKS OPEN Sarah? Is that you, Sarah? Aaagh! I didn't realise Sarah Jane had a nephew.
I didn't think she had any relatives at all, to be honest.
We're not a close family.
Well, you shouldn't have to wait long.
Sarah's always very busy with her newspaper stories.
She's teaching my daughter - that's Rani, very bright - all the tricks of the trade.
Ooh, I could call her, if you like.
Tell Sarah you're here.
No.
It's OK.
When Aunt Sarah Jane gets home, I'd like it to be a surprise.
Of course.
We understand.
Out, half-form! Be careful, Kaagh! This isn't a bout of Sontaran quicksand wrestling.
He is a boy.
They break.
Or so I understand.
I will make sure the perimeter is secure.
Where are we? Some squalid wasteland, rancid with the stench of stagnant oil and rotting fast-food wrappers, typical of this depressing planet you call home.
I like Earth.
Your development has been stunted by a lack of spectacular horizons.
What sort of a mother has Sarah Jane Smith been? The boy I made was more than this.
You didn't make me.
You just grew me from synthesized DNA.
Living here has made me what I am.
KAAGH KICKS AT NEARBY DOOR I'm like Kaagh.
Bred for one purpose.
But life has changed him.
He's supposed to serve the Sontaran Empire.
Instead, he serves you.
No Sontaran would serve a woman! I should blast you into atoms for such an insult! Don't you see, the boy engages in mind games? He's clever.
I won't do anything for you! KAAGH LAUGHS You already have.
You are our hostage.
Sarah Jane Smith won't move against us while we have you.
Too much talk, Kaagh.
Get me what we came for.
This way.
Kaagh's space pod! Soon, I will look upon a galaxy crushed to stardust beneath my feet.
I want Sarah Jane Smith to know she gave it to me.
And that she gave you to me.
Such shall be my vengeance.
Why is revenge so important? KAAGH LAUGHS Humans.
The runts of the galaxy.
No wonder half the species from here to the Vylixik Spiral Cluster have plans to invade you.
You have no guts! My mum does.
That's why she defeated you before.
Both of you.
And she will this time.
She will have to find us to do that.
And to our destination, there is only one guide.
Kaagh? The Eye of Horath begins to open.
And the galaxy shall tremble.
Sarah Jane! Sarah Jane, wake up! How long have I been unconscious? Luke! We have to get him back.
And the Tunguska Scroll.
She thinks kidnapping Luke will stop me going after her.
She really doesn't understand motherhood! The scroll is a receiver, isn't it? It's searching for a homing signal from Horath.
It's not so much a map as a Sat Nav.
This drab world may have stunted your potential, Luke, but you still remain so very impressive.
So intelligent, so perceptive, so intuitive.
After 3,000 years, the signal is faint.
But the scroll will locate it.
And then, we shall find Horath.
Horath was never a living being, was he? Horath is a cybernetic organism.
A computer? And so much more.
A computer that can command the physical laws of the universe.
That can destroy worlds and give birth to them in the blink of an eye.
As I gave birth to you.
The universe is a cruel place, Luke.
It delights at the tricks it plays.
How could I ever have imagined that it would come to this, that my only kindred, my only child, would be the most perfect human? I can see why Sarah Jane Smith is so attached to you, my boy.
You're not my mother.
I gave you life, Luke, and I can give you so much more.
There are such wonderful things out in space.
Amazing things.
Be my prince and you will inherit an entire galaxy! You could wield such power.
As my son.
CLANKING AND RATTLING OF METAL What about Kaagh? Kaagh is a foot-soldier.
Bred for war, not to rule.
Unlike you.
Here, my son.
KAAGH! Half-form! HE SCREAMS IN ANGER I will fry you alive, half-form! Bring him back to me! Alive! You cannot escape! Defiance will be eliminated! I said, I want him alive, idiot Sontaran! HE SNIFFS HE CACKLES HE CACKLES The Bane woman has her fancy idea of vengeance.
But for what you and your half-form friends did to me, you will taste Sontaran reckoning! No-one comes between a Sontaran warrior and his prize of vengeance.
Except you're no longer a Sontaran warrior, are you, Kaagh the Slayer? Kaagh the Shambles, more like! HE CRIES OUT Now, do we understand each other? Yes.
But not the logic in keeping a half-form alive.
Of course you wouldn't, Kaagh.
You are a clone.
You were born in a tub of green goo.
You've never created anything, only destroyed.
But as long as the Bane hunt for me, I need you.
The scroll has re-established contact with Horath.
Our journey is almost done.
A new age nears.
No sign of UNIT.
Yeah, they're soldiers, trained to disappear into the background.
Mr Smith is our only chance of finding Luke and stopping Mrs Wormwood.
Hang on! UNIT don't know me.
I can go in and do a recce.
See if the coast's really clear and they wouldn't suspect a thing.
Clyde Langer, superspy! MOBILE RINGS Clyde? All clear.
Be right there.
Where is he? This does not look good.
Clyde? Major! What the hell do you think you're doing? Let him go! I always follow orders.
I'm afraid all of you are under arrest.
Major, you are making an earth-shattering mistake.
Give me the Tunguska Scroll.
Please listen.
We're trying to save the galaxy.
Just give me the scroll! We haven't got it anymore! What?! My son's been kidnapped.
I'm trying to save him, can't you understand that? My only concern is homeworld security.
Yeah, well it looks to me like you're sitting down on the job! I'd stay where you are if I were you.
He's got worse than that.
You do what you have to.
I'll keep an eye on the Major.
Rani, stay with the Brigadier.
Clyde, with me.
I registered these energy readings from the Tunguska Scroll.
I need you to initiate a tracker search across the UK for it.
When I said my only concern was homeworld security .
.
I meant my world.
Not yours.
'Satellite tracking now active.
' They could be anywhere.
We've got no idea how much time we've got.
Wherever they are, however much time we have, we have one advantage - Luke.
Remember that.
'Target acquired.
It is apparently mobile, 'and heading along the A786 towards the village of Whitebarrow.
' Hang on! We went there on a school trip.
It's one of those places like, erStonehenge! A neolithic burial site! That's where Horath is buried.
You're Bane?! I'm warning you, sir, keep your distance! No, Sir Alistair.
Remember, I invited you to dinner.
And you're it! I warned you! I always suspected that Major Kilburne was a slimy creep! Come on.
Well, of course you can borrow my van, Sarah.
It's the least I can do.
I hope your funny little motor isn't too poorly.
Thank you.
I appreciate it more than you can ever know.
Don't be late for tea.
Thank you for all your help, Brigadier.
Oh, my pleasure, Sarah Jane.
I'll keep an eye on what's left of the Major until the UNIT chaps take him away.
You do what you have to do, and God speed.
Move! This is it! The resting place of Horath, the birthplace of a new galactic aeon! The Age of Wormwood! And Kaagh! If you really want the empire to sound like a firm of solicitors.
No female can rule an empire alone.
You need me, Wormwood! Aagh! It seems you're right.
A blundering Sontaran has its uses.
It's a forcefield.
You've come all this way for nothing.
Not at all.
The force field must be attuned to non-Earth life forms - those who concealed Horath within its stones would see that humans were no threat.
They're too stupid.
Only an off-worlder would know what was hidden here, and they would be kept safely at bay.
Ha! How very clever.
Yet, I, Luke, have you.
Of course! I see it now.
It was meant that I should give you life, then lose you to Sarah Jane Smith, that you should remain on Earth awaiting my return.
For this moment.
You're talking about fate.
I don't believe in fate.
I made you for this moment, Luke.
To enter the circle of stones, and to be my prince.
Mum was right.
You are mad.
Sarah Jane Smith was the wet-nurse! I am your mother.
Now, do as I say and fulfil your destiny.
Bring me Horath.
Like you, half-form, I believe we make our own destiny.
But mine lies within that circle.
So do as she says.
Place the scroll on the altar stone at the heart of the circle.
Do it! Do it, my prince! Come quickly, Mum! The Age of Wormwood approaches! BRAKES SCREECH It's an earthquake! We have to hurry.
We may already be too late! Luke, see! The scroll is unlocking the Tomb of Horath.
It's a portal.
Horath was never buried on Earth.
This is a doorway to somewhere else.
Another dimension, maybe.
That's where Horath is! And you have opened that door, Luke.
You have earned your place at my side - rulers of a billion stars.
Soon, the most almighty power in the universe will be ours.
What treachery is this, Bane? The half-form has no place in our bargain.
Consider our arrangementterminated! HE SCREAMS Join me, my son.
No.
You can't control the portal.
It's too powerful.
Sarah Jane Smith has made you timid, Luke.
But I shall make you strong.
You shall be a god.
I don't want to be a god.
It is your fate.
To sit beside your mother and preside over all creation.
You are my prince.
Luke! Mum! Thank goodness you're all right! Luke! It never looked like that when we came with the school! Whoops! The National Trust is gonna be pleased about that - a stone circle with a black hole in the middle! I'd pay to see it.
The portal! It's opened.
Luke.
Come with me, Luke.
I will show you things beyond even your imagination.
Half-form! I'm trying to help you.
Are you hurt? Come to me, Luke.
Come to your mother.
No.
Sarah Jane is my mother.
Do you hear that, Mrs Wormwood? Luke is my son! Because I have cared for him and looked after him, because I love him! And you don't understand love.
People who understand love don't want to crush planets, or take over the universe.
Those people aren't people at all, they truly are monsters.
You're right, Miss Smith.
And it is so much more fun to embrace one's nature.
Get me my gun! No.
I can't.
I have been a disgrace to Sontar.
I have betrayed the brotherhood of warriors.
Give me this chance of honour! And what more fun could there be than todestroy? With your deaths, the Age of Wormwood shall begin! Sontar-haaaaa! THEY SHRIEK Get down! EXPLOSION What happened? Mrs Wormwood was about to discharge her ring when Kaagh pushed her into the portal.
I think it sort of overloaded the system.
Is she dead? I don't know.
Hey, the scoll's still here.
You've got another one! Do I look like the kind of girl who only has one lipstick? What are you gonna do? What UNIT should have done when they first found it.
Now the portal is closed for good.
No-one will ever find Horath.
We saved the universe.
Again! Did we? I told you when we first met, Rani, the universe is an amazing place, it's got so many surprises for us.
But one thing I never expected to see was the universe being saved by a Sontaran! 'Yet the truly marvelous thing is to share the wonders 'that the universe brings us, with good, true friends.
'The people we can rely on, no matter what.
'The people we love.
' Bye, Sarah Jane! 'But the universe hasn't finished with us yet.
'There will always be some alien species visiting Earth.
'And why not? It's a wonderful place to be!' Just remember who lives here.
