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.

The world's going to end and it's my fault.

Four A*s. I'm going to Oxford!

I had a nightmare. What? I thought you couldn't dream.

What do you want? Your nightmares are giving me such power.

One more little nightmare from you

and I will be in your world.

He's the Nightmare Man

and I can't stop him.

I'm real.

I'm here.

Mum!

Where am I?

Please.

Sleep tight, Lukey-boy.

HE CACKLES

Mum!

Eeney-meeney, miny-mo, catch a tiger by the toe,

if he squeals let him go,

eeney-meeney, miny...

Mo.

Oh, what sweet dreams!

Soon change that.

He's such a lightweight.

Oh, Clyde!

Our world has always been full of nightmares,

creatures and aliens who want to destroy us.

'You're watching the BBC News and I'm Louise Marlowe.

'Later, we'll be looking at how the continuing rise in house prices

'has increased the number of families

'choosing to live in rented accommodation.

'But first, questions were asked in Parliament today.

'Oh, that's nice.'

'No, no, no. Go ahead. Switch me off.'

'I'm talking to you, Rani.'

Didn't your mother ever tell you not to sit so close to the screen?

How are you doing that?

No!

Agh! No!

But I need more.

I need so much more.

SNORING

Hello.

Stop snoring.

RINGING

It's the Nightmare Man and I can't stop him.

Mum, I'm sorry.

That's why I tried so hard to stay awake.

No.

Please.

No!

Luke. Come on, Luke, wake up. It's Mum, please!

Come on, please! Wake up, please.

Mr Smith, I need you! Come on, please! WAKE UP!

K9! K9, where are you?

Approaching, mistress!

LAUGHTER

My sensors indicate Master Luke is asleep, mistress.

I know that, K9.

I'm scanning the alien's face, Luke's Nightmare Man

is a Vishclar from the Saretti dimension.

That creature stopped Luke telling us about him but Luke's clever.

He didn't record that video because he was scared

but because he knew we'd find it, and he knew we'd save him!

You still serving burgers?

I always knew you were a stupid boy.

Sarah Jane?

We've got to find a way to talk to him.

Remember that sentient concrete disguised as the Chiswick flyover?

She was using this to control people. If we can...

What is it, Mistress?

Clyde and Rani. Oh!

Clyde! Rani!

Clyde? Rani?

Rani? Rani!

Clyde, come on, please!

Clyde!

Rani!

What are you? Breaking news, Rani.

I need you.

Er, what do you mean?

I shouldn't be here! I don't know what I'm doing.

You are a journalist, aren't you?

Go easy on the sauce.

I don't get it, where's Luke?

Oh, he's such a clever boy. He's working for the Government now.

Says he's going to be an astronaut.

I went to space once.

Yeah, with the Doctor. Oh, I told you?

I get confused.

The social reckon I'm losing it. They want to put me in a home!

I said, I've got a home, thank you.

What am I meant to say? Um...!

Her name is...

Sarah Jane?! You and me, Rani.

We're going to tell everyone who she is.

We're going to destroy Sarah Jane Smith.

I can't wake them up.

The sentient concrete, we must wake Luke first.

Correct, Mr Smith.

Could you use this, K9, to talk to Luke?

Affirmative.

Working.

Master Luke, can you hear me? Master Luke?

I regret I have insufficient power. Perhaps I can help.

If I were to connect to K9, I could boost his energy levels.

Oh, what do you need, Mr Smith?

I've stuff from planets across the universe.

Mind control devices, alien plants. Just tell me what you need.

I need a USB lead, Sarah Jane.

ECHOEY, MANIACAL LAUGHTER

It isn't real. It isn't real.

This is just a stupid dream!

Nightmare Man!

HE LAUGHS EVILLY

Nightmare Man! Can you hear me?

Your mind is so strong, Luke,

echoing across the dimensions.

Come back and face me!

Mmm....no.

What's the matter? Are you scared?

I'm just happy. You've taken my place.

I've taken yours.

You've made the monster real, Lukey.

Come back! NIGHTMARE MAN CACKLES

Ready?

Maximum energy to K9.

Engaging.

Approaching full energy transfer mode.

I can't stop him. I can't.

It's just me.

WHIRRING

Negative, Master Luke. It is never just you.

How did you get here?

Did Mum send you? Affirmative.

She wanted me to tell you that this is a dream

and that you need to wake up.

I know, K9. I've tried, but I can't.

MUFFLED BEEPING AND WHIRRING

Mr Smith? The dog is communicating with Luke.

BEEPING

I wish Clyde and Rani were here, K9.

They always know what to do.

Master Clyde and Mistress Rani are asleep. Your mother cannot wake them.

So he's got them?

On air in 60 seconds.

Why do you want to destroy Sarah Jane? Why do you think?

The woman's a menace to society.

What are you on about? She saves the world! At what cost, Rani?

You, Clyde, her own son. How many times has she put you at risk?

It's not like that. Answer! How many times have you nearly died

because of her?

I don't know. You're just a child, Rani. It's not your fault.

If we don't expose her, she'll get you killed.

She has given me a better life. She's my friend. Oh, grow up!

If you're going to be a journalist you'll need to stop worrying

about peoples' feelings. Don't you want to be a journalist?

Yes. Then there's nothing wrong with us telling the world.

The public have a right to know, Rani.

And it's your responsibility as a journalist to tell them.

And on air in five, four...

I don't want this.

I was doing my art. I was good at it, wasn't I?

Oh, you are sweet. Stupid, but sweet.

I'm not stupid.

You were never as good as my Luke. That's why you ended up here.

You'd never say that. What do you mean, dear?

This isn't a burger bar. These aren't real burgers, and you,

you're not the real Sarah Jane.

Oh, Clyde. There's no way out.

HE LAUGHS EVILLY

Oh, the nightmares!

So many nightmares for me to feast on!

I'm Louise Marlowe.

And I'm...

..Rani Chandra.

Please don't make me do this. A woman,

Living on a typical suburban street in London.

Her name...

Sa... Sa...

Her name, Rani? What's her name?

Sar...

Sarah Jane Smith.

Nightmares, so many nightmares!

I'm having the nightmare and I'm here.

Maybe they are as well? Clyde!

Can you hear me? Rani?

Rani. Luke? Is that you?

It's not real. It's just a nightmare.

Stay with me, Rani. I can't wake up!

I can't stop it! Just read the news!

Luke! How do I get out of here?

She needs a door, Master Luke.

That's it!
