My mum and dad. We could go through there, into another time.
It's only dangerous to go back in time if you change something.
Where are Sarah Jane and Luke? 1951?
It's her, my mum. Eddie Smith. August 18th.
It's the date they died.
I could save them with the sonic.
It's happening.
Time for me to collect my prize. I don't like this at all.
What's happened?
I'm going through.
Aaaaaaagh!
This is our time, our world.
You gave this planet to the Trickster!
You gave me what I wanted, all those years ago.
In 1951.
You're lying. How could me saving my mum and dad do all of this?
They're just two ordinary people!
This place is a weak point on the web of time.
In the grand scheme of things, yes,
you saving your parents was a tiny thing.
But the village is on the faultline, and you smashed right through it.
Time was broken open?
I existed
only in the Limbo Dimensions.
I could only walk in the shadows,
appear only in your reality for fleeting moments.
But you gave me a path into this world.
I exist here in the flesh, for ever!
I've defeated you before. I can do it again. We're going back.
To 1951. Do you not understand? The battle is over.
You've already lost. Mum, come on!
EVIL LAUGHTER
I don't get it.
This is Earth, 21st century.
Right now. It's an alternative timeline.
The box protected us like it protected Maria the last time
the Trickster appeared, when the world changed around her.
This is Earth? Today?
Yep. And this is all that's left of London.
Where are all the people? Gone.
It's all my fault!
All we have to do to change things back is repair the car.
And I send my parents off to their deaths?
It's the only way! I can't do it. If it was me, Luke, could you?
I won't kill them!
There must be another way. There's always another way!
Negative energy readings, coming from the village.
He's breaking through, somewhere down there.
It's so cold.
That's not natural. It's starting, he's coming through!
Looks like rain. Astonishing how it's turned.
Right, everybody inside! Come on! Look lively!
Into the village hall! Come on!
Never seen it turn so bad so quickly. It's creepy.
Come on, love, let's get inside!
Chop, chop, everybody into the hall!
Are you OK?
I've been chased by Slitheen. I've been aboard a spaceship.
I've had a Sontaran shooting at me.
I always thought, I dunno,
all in a day's work.
Because it was scary and brilliant all at the same time.
Yeah, that's what I feel. But this is different.
We're in an alternative timeline.
Our world never existed. So how do we get back home from here?
We keep walking?
Look!
Right. He's gotta be on his way somewhere.
I can't get an exact fix on him.
But he's here somewhere.
I'm lost. We saw the Trickster in the future.
But he hasn't manifested himself yet.
That's about to happen here, in 1951.
If we can find him, perhaps we can still stop him.
But how? What's that "other way"?
How can we stop him? I don't know. Yet.
There's only one person in the universe who would know.
Straight away. One person who could help us.
And where is he whenever you need him?
Oh, yes!
Yes! I don't believe it!
Doctor!
It's me! Doctor!
Won't find a doctor in here, my love.
What do you want?
Nothing. Sorry, officer.
It's just a police box, that the Tardis looks like.
They were everywhere.
That's as may be, but if you don't mind, missus?
We can do this ourselves.
Why's he still running round? There's nothing here.
Yeah, what does he want with Earth when it's in this state?
Get down! Slowly...
Humans, stop! Humans, rest! They're slaves.
Oh, no. No, Clyde.
Tell me that's not her. Mum! Stay back!
He's seen us!
Deviants!
You don't belong.
He's scared of us.
That's my mum! Stop, Rani!
We've got to stay together, there's only one box.
Where is he? It all looks the same.
Wait. The Trickster must have been planning this for a while,
before we even came here.
Someone in the village might have seen something strange.
But how do we stop him? We worry about that when we've found him.
Village hall! Come on!
How can she be here?
Luke told me once that when time goes wrong, it tries to compensate,
keep people on the same track.
Mum?
No talking!
Go away! Mum, it's me, it's Rani!
Why are you walking free? Nobody walks free.
Graske says no talking. Go away!
What's he making you do? Tell me.
We're digging.
The world's dead.
It fell apart.
The Graske made us dig.
He won't stop till the last minerals are torn up.
Come on, organise a rebellion. Where's everybody else?
We're the last humans. What have they done to you?
Go away!
Mum, please.
Where's Dad? Your husband. Haresh.
No husband. Go!
She was born into this world.
Never met my dad. I don't exist any longer.
Rani, come on, we are going back.
There's always a way.
What happened? How did the world die?
Everybody knows the legend.
It was her! Who's her?
I mean, who's she?
Sarah Jane Smith.
What? You're not serious.
She handed the world to the Trickster.
What exactly happened? What did she do?
The legend says,
years ago,
he tricked her.
There was a...car.
Her parents never left in the car,
and that made a hole in the world,
in the Abbots' Gateway.
The Trickster walked through the Abbots' Gateway
and sucked the life out of the world. The Abbots' Gateway?
What's the Abbots' Gateway? Humans! Back to work. Go!
Mum, I'll save you, I promise.
Everything's gonna be all right, I promise!
No talking! Go away!
The Abbots' Gateway... hang on, I'm working this out.
We have to get back there and tell them that the Trickster's coming
through the Abbots' Gateway, whatever that means.
How can we get back there?
The fissure's shut, and it's the only way back.
The Graske works for the Trickster, right?
But why? What does he get out of it?
No idea. He can't grab us or send us anywhere weird if we've got the box.
Nowhere can be worse than this.
THUNDER RUMBLES It's getting worse out there.
Shame, I thought we could go for a drive later. Here we go.
Sustenance for the troops.
Oh, hi, hi there.
You're going to think this is very strange, but...
we need to ask you something.
Have you noticed anything new or strange in the village?
Something that wasn't there before? No. What are you talking about?
Please think, it's important. Are you two having a laugh?
Can you come with us, see if anything has changed?
But why? What's going on? We can't explain.
Are you taking the mick? Look after Sarah Jane. I won't be five minutes.
Barbara, what are you doing? They look like they're in trouble.
None of our business!
What's got into your mummy, Sarah Jane?
Are you sure about this?
I'm just gonna do it the way Sarah Jane does it.
We demand audience. You are rejects. No place here for you. Go!
Send us home! This is your home. Trickster makes this your home.
They're your slaves, right? Take rocks from this planet.
Give Trickster powers to leave, go into space. Take other worlds.
And then what? Another job for the Trickster?
Cos they're your slaves, but you're his slave, aren't you?
Graske never enslaved!
Then why do you work for him?
Human stupid!
Trickster stole me.
What happened? Tell us. You! Ha!
Stupid!
Can't be that thick if we've got this, can we? Give it to me!
Humans must give box to Graske.
Uh-uh. You tell us how he got you.
I was stupid!
Should have died!
Trickster tricked me.
I was in spaceship. Burning up.
Krizlok of the Graske.
Listen to me.
You don't have to die. I can lift you away, to be safe at my side.
But I must have your agreement.
What are you? Do you want to live?
Do I have your agreement? Agreed!
Agreed! ..I'm a slave.
But you wanna escape? Be free?
Look at this.
It fights the Trickster's power, protects us from him. And you.
Give it to me! So you do wanna be free? Think! We can help you.
Sarah Jane, the lady you tricked into doing all of this.
She's defeated the Trickster once before.
But Trickster find me...I never escape.
Then I promise, this time we'll stop him.
Then we'll give you this. He'll never find you, you'll be free.
Open the fissure. Let us go back to Sarah Jane. We can help her.
We can stop him like she did before.
Will open fissure.
Yes! Thank you!
You! Stay with box. No.
We can't do that! He needs a guarantee.
A hostage? I'm not leaving you here.
I'll be fine. I've had a bellyful of time travel anyway. Go!
Clyde...
Hurry! Go! Cool.
Must be heroic more often. Remember!
The Abbots' Gateway! I'll save you, Mum.
Right. Let's go!
I can't see anything, David. It all looks the way it always has.
The way it always will be. There must be something.
Luke! I think I've found something!
What is that? Tell me.
What have you found, Mum? An unusual energy reaction.
I can't see anything.
But he must be here. Listen!
I'm helping you! And you've not answered any of my questions.
I really am sorry, but we can't.
You think I'm stupid but I'm not. That thing,
the way you talk - "energy reaction" -
are you from somewhere else?
No. And I don't think you're stupid, Barbara.
I think you're amazing, and a brilliant mother,
and more than I ever hoped you'd be but I can't say anything more.
No sign of your winner yet, Mr Smith? No.
Something's not right with that lad, or his mother.
Sandwich? Ham there, cheese there.
Never say no to free grub.
Oh!
My goodness. Yes, hello, ethnic person in the '50s(!) Hi.
Listen, please, it's important.
Not another one.
I'm looking for Sarah Jane Smith. What?
Well, what do you want? She's right there.
Oh, wow. And you're her dad, right?
What do you want? What's going on?
No, I didn't mean I was looking for her. I'm looking for a woman, short,
brown hair, very pretty.
Probably with her son.
He's a bit...weird. You mean Victoria Beckham?
What? Well, they were here.
Right.
Where've they gone? They're around.
Said they were looking for something unusual, whatever that means. Right.
Thank you!
What on earth was she wearing?
Can that really be the fashion in the Punjab?
Mrs King, will you watch the baby, please?
Of course, off you pop.
Luke!
THUNDERCLAPS
Rani! Over here!
Sarah Jane! How did you get here?
Long story. Why did you call her that?
I did it again.
Who are you, and why did you call her Sarah Jane?
You stopped your parents. They never got in the car, right?
Yes, but how can you know that?
Doesn't matter. The important thing is, the Abbots' Gateway.
The Trickster is coming through the Abbots' Gateway!
What's the Abbots' Gateway?
Over there. It's what they call that arch thing.
Of course.
Religious sites, hallowed ground, sometimes that's where
the web of time is at its weakest.
I can't see anything. Same emission patterns, nothing specific.
No sign of him. But I know The Trickster comes through here!
How do you know? My mum told me.
Your mum? What?
Listen. You called her Sarah Jane.
Why did you call her Sarah Jane? THUNDERCLAPS
Oh, yes. There! A crack in time.
He's coming through. What's that?
Oh, no... EDDIE: Barbara!
You're coming back home with me. Right now.
Wait. Eddie, look!
That thing. Something's happening, something really strange.
We're going home, now!
You stay away from us!
I didn't want it to be like this.
Soon...
I'll be free!
There you are! All settled, I hope.
The storm's getting worse. Not that anything bothers madam.
I'll leave you both to it, then.
Look, let's cheer ourselves up a bit, eh?
We'll go home, switch on the wireless
and see what's on the Light Programme tonight.
What the heck's going on? It's rotten.
It's to do with us.
Eddie, look.
What's happening?
Everything we touch turns bad.
It's us.
Something's wrong with us.
I can breathe.
Soon, I will be strong!
I can find the frequency you're using to manifest yourself and block it.
Empty words. Technology cannot help you.
No. I'm going to send you back!
Soon all three of you
will cease to exist.
I will step from this door...
and consume this world in chaos...
It's not too late. There's only one way to stop him, Mum.
We've both known it all along.
No! I can't! Use the sonic. Repair the car.
..and send your parents to their deaths!
Will you be the agent of their destruction?
That Indian girl, she said something to Victoria.
She said "You stopped them driving off, they never left in the car."
As if it was a bad thing that we didn't go.
And not going, that let out that terrible creature under the arch.
None of this makes sense.
It does if you think about Victoria, who she really is.
That girl...
she called her Sarah Jane.
BABY GURGLES
I said I'd seen her before.
Too late! I'm growing stronger!
It's too late, they won't drive off and you won't make them.
Rani's right. I won't kill my own mum and dad,
I can't do it! He's beaten me.
Victoria!
If we get in the car and drive away right now,
then that's the end of that thing under the arch.
I know I'm right. You can't. You mustn't go. We've got to.
But not Sarah Jane. Not our baby. Take her.
Look after her.
This is why they left that day.
They didn't abandon you, Mum. They saved you.
One thing, though. It's important.
Sarah Jane, our baby - is she safe, does she have a good life?
Yes. So many incredible things.
Things you wouldn't believe. Don't go.
Got to, though, haven't we?
Like he worked any of it out.
I said, didn't I? I don't understand it
but sometimes the heart knows things the mind can't explain.
Mum...
Dad...
Come here. Come here!
THEY SOB
Look at you. Older than us!
And you came all that way to see us.
I thought you'd left me behind. I never knew you -
I never had the chance. It was so unfair.
Who said life was fair, eh?
I tried so hard to resist the temptation, I knew the dangers.
I just couldn't stop myself. I had to see you.
I'm so glad you did.
So am I, Mum.
Goodbye, Sarah Jane.
Bye, Dad. I won't forget you.
I'll never forget you!
No!
Stop them.
Stop them!
You...
have denied me!
My hunger...
I did nothing.
That was my mum and dad saving the world,
something we Smiths can't help doing.
But you...
you couldn't do it.
I knew you could never do it.
You were right.
I couldn't send them off. But you didn't count on one thing -
they were brilliant.
They worked it out, they went by themselves.
My mum and dad defeated you!
HE WAILS
BABY GURGLES
We've got to put things back on track.
We've got to leave her.
GRASKE GROWLS
Whoa! Hold on! This is it!
LOW RUMBLING
CLYDE SCREAMS
Yes! See, I told you, she did it!
Sarah Jane is da man! Give box!
We did deal!
I'm a man of my word.
Ha! Free!
Right. Come on, Sarah Jane.
ELECTRONIC BEEPS AND BUZZES
RASPING BUZZING
Yes! Welcome home!
Sarah Jane, look at you!
You did it! We did it, the team!
I'm missing something, aren't I?
This time...it stays closed.
Let's go home.
Hello!
You didn't say you were with Sarah.
I've been phoning all afternoon. I was just about to get worried!
Ooh, I like your look! Where've you been? Somewhere nice?
Mum! Come here.
What's brought this on?
What are you after? Sarah,
come on, what's she done? She's been great.
Rani, the state of your room, like a bomb's hit it. Dad!
I'll go and clean my room right now.
I'll do anything you want.
What did I do to deserve this?
I thought you were too old for cuddles.
Oh, no. Not for as long as you live.
Bye, Sarah, bye, boys.
Come on, you. You still have to do your room.
I'll be off home, then.
I've been to an alternative timeline
and now I'm saying "I'll be off home, then"?
That's the life we lead.
Sometimes it brings you such joy,
and sometimes it brings you the worst things in the world.
That's all I ever had of them.
But life goes on.
It has to.
Oh, Luke, they were my mum and dad.
And they were wonderful.
It's made me realise.
I'm so lucky,
because I've got my mum. I've got you.
PANICKED BREATHING
Hello, Luke.
My mum, she's disappeared. Is it aliens?
What do you want? Your help.
After kidnapping my mum and entrancing her?
Sarah Jane Smith. I need to break into the Black Archive.
Get the scroll, find Horath and stop them bringing him back to life.
It's attack of the one-eyed squiddy things!
ALARM BLARES
We have a security breach!
Surrender, or be devoured!
