The Sarah Jane Adventures (2007–2011): Season 1, Episode 2 - Revenge of the Slitheen: Part 2 - full transcript

The kids escape from the Slitheen and meet up with Sarah Jane at her house. They discover that vinegar will kill the Slitheen so, armed with vinegar bottles, they return to the school and destroy the three adult Slitheen and their machine. Carl, who took on the form of the class brain-box, escapes via a teleport but Sarah Jane assumes that he is dead. Back home she accepts Clyde into the group but asks for him not to tell others about their experiences.

Run!

Come on, boy.

Don't you want a closer look?

Ya-aa-aah!

Good sense of smell, have you?

Oh, yes...best nostrils
in the galaxy, official!

And you like my perfume? Lovely.

Then sniff this!
SHE SQUEALS

SQUEALING CONTINUES

I've found a secret room! Not now.

Get it open!



It's locked! That thing's real,
isn't it? It's real...

This place is sealed!
You're finished!

- Right here, right now!
- This way!

LAUGHING AND GROWLING

Maria! Come on!

Maria!

Luke! Sarah Jane.
I was wrong, it is aliens.

Yeah, I know! Raaagh!

Right, listen...

She said make a smell, make a big
enough smell and you'll get away!

What'll we do, fart our way out?
Would that be funny? What?!

Come out, little ones...

They're nearby, Daddy.
I can smell you.

A strong smell, think! A skunk?



Yes! Wolverine.

Pure masculine action. Yaaarggh!

COUGHING AND SPLUTTERING

Go, go, go!

COUGHING

Hunt them.

GROWLING

Wait for me! Sarah Jane! Come on,
Sarah Jane!

ZAPPING NOISES
Sarah Jane, please! Sarah Jane!

Into the car!

Come on, hurry!

What's that? Sonic lipstick.
Of course. What is he doing here?

Sorry. Somebody else's life in
my hands, just what I needed!

They're getting away.

That's not fair, Daddy!

That woman cheated!
I want my hunt! Come here...

That woman had some
sort of sonic disruptor.

This is a level five planet,
they're primitives.

How did she get that? Who is she?

The galactic police?
She could be one of their agents.

No, she's human, she smelt...

soupy, they all do.

Still, if that's her only weapon,
she's no big deal.

Daddy. I want my hunt!

You'll have your
hunt later, I promise.

Tonight's the night
the lights go out!

THEY ALL LAUGH

I want answers.

I've just been chased by aliens and
you aren't even freaking out. Why?

Who are you? You've gotta go home,
forget this ever happened. Go home!

No. I'm part of this, I
want to find out the truth.

What's in there
and who's that woman?

Just leave us alone, OK?

The police won't leave you alone,
when I tell 'em what happened.

Show me!

OK!

At last.
We've waited so long for this moment.

Times have been hard.

They've been closing in on us from
all sides.

Judoon, forcing us out,
the other families against us.

This will give us a new beginning.

Wealth, security.

When we have the money, what then?

We'll buy a fleet of battle cruisers.

Return home
to Raxacoricofallapatorius.

I shall smite the Grand Council,
crush the Senate.

The Blathereen and the Hostrozeen
will beg for mercy at my feet!

But we mustn't get carried away.

First things first. We have the
equation, nothing can stop us.

Now it begins!

The inhabitants of Raxa...Raxa...
Oh!

Raxacoricofallapatorius.

The outcast Slitheen Family are
scavengers, thieves of technology,

known to infiltrate low-tech planets
by hiding in the skins

of the dominant native species.

Slitheen in Downing Street. What?

Something a friend said once.

Gas exchange from skin
compression often results in...

Farting. Farting's funny.
Right, what's going on in here?

Why don't you bring round
the whole school?

If he tells anyone
who's gonna believe him? Wait,

I've had monsters from space on me
and no-one tells me what's going on.

Shut up for the minute, I'm
busy and you're not important.

Even if it is getting like
Clapham Junction up here. Right.

The Slitheen have taken
over Coldfire Construction.

Put up buildings all
around the world. Why?

I think know. There's a hidden
room in the school, I saw inside.

What's in there? I've got a theory,
Mr Smith could help.

Who's that, your dad?
Mr Smith, I need you!

'Good afternoon, Sarah Jane.'

Oh, yes! Is that a computer?

'Who's that?' Nobody.
Mr Smith, Luke would like some help.

'Certainly. Hello, Luke.'
Hello, Mr Smith.

Bring up our satellite
image of London.

Now plot the positions of every
school put up by Coldfire.

Ealing, that's us.
St Cheldon's Comp, Upminster.

Schools at Epping,
Amersham, Richmond, Morden...

The ends of tube lines -
if I'm allowed to speak.

This is real, all of it's real!

The talking computer's real,
the Slitheens are real. Oh, yes!

Mr Smith, plot the position of
every Coldfire building put up

in the last 18 months in the world.

'Accessing...'
Paris, Sydney, Beijing.

Not all capital cities, they're
spread out all over the place.

They look pretty random.

Wait. Underground railways - they've
all got underground railways!

Don't have to thank me. Link them.

London, Barcelona, Washington DC,
Santiago, Los Angeles, Sydney,

Beijing, Moscow, Naples, Paris.

There's a Slitheen at every site.

And there are ten cities, ten sites.
Right, call the army.

Oh, right, cos that always
makes things better.

It's not your job. There's a
cleverer way of going about things.

But what's it all for,
what are they doing?

Secret room, what was in there?

Sarah Jane.
I've done something really stupid.

A really bad social mistake.

I told the Slitheen how
to destroy the world.

I've input the boy's catalyst
equation. Now it works perfectly!

We'll take the night side first,

build up the charge, section
by section. And then...

This is Glune Fex Fize Sharleveer
Slam Slitheen to all Slitheen units.

Is everybody ready?

It wasn't working until
I gave them the answers.

Oh, Luke... The power cut
last night was a test run.

But our candles went out
and that's not electric.

'When the capacitors are charged up
they act as transducers,

'converting heat and light
into electrical energy.

'That's how the loop works,
it's not connected physically.'

What has underground
railways got to do with that?

The system generates enormous heat.
They act as a cooling system!

Glad we sorted that out. People
getting ill, food going off,

that's the effect of being
next to the capacitors.

'Indeed. Even on standby,

'the transducers would cause
cellular decay in organic matter.'

With this system they can drain

energy from the Earth. Our school's
the last link in the chain.

But - it needs the whole chain to do
that? Yeah. We bomb the school?

If we get in, could you destroy
the system safely? I think so.

If we reset the system, shut it
down. I'd need a cutting tool.

What about this?

Yeah, and how do we get past
the Slitheen? We bomb them!

'Sarah Jane. I've just picked up this
report on an American news channel.'

Breaking news...

there's a massive loss of power on
the west coast of North America.

Los Angeles has gone dark.

It's starting...

And I told them how to do it.

The day I was born
I saved the world.

Now I've helped to destroy it.

It works!
Section one down, grazie, Napoli!

Thank you. Moving to Section two.

Hello, Washington DC!

Howdy, London!

Connect! Mr Smith. Give me everything
you've got on the inhabitants of...

Raxacoricofallapatorius.
You're making that up.

Any weaknesses, anything we can
use to fight them. 'Accessing.'

Anybody could have made that mistake.
No, only he could. Clyde!

Duh! Let's have a High School
Musical moment,

a group hug'll sort it.

You're right, as if a teacher
could have worked out that diagram.

And the power loss is
spreading westwards.

China is now without power.

It may be only a matter of time
before the effect spreads here.

Oh, boy...

'I have lost the signal.'
Anything on the Slitheen yet?

'Accessing.'

Come on!

Section nine clear...

Dormez bien, Paris!

That makes us next.

So synchronize the mega-wattage.
Er...

Oh, for the love of Clom!

Mr Smith does like to take his time.

Come on.

'Raxacoricofallapatorians.
Calcium-based life-forms.'

Give us the weaknesses!
'Weaknesses.'

'They are a naturally hardy race.

'However, their bodies are
notoriously hyper-sensitive to...'

No!

The Prime Minister has promised the
blackouts will not affect the UK.

Thank you, Prime Minister.

We can't stop them without this.

It's real. The end of the world.

Thanks to him. Will you shut up!

No Mr Smith. No sonic lipstick.

No Plan B.

But we are the only people in
the world who can stop this.

And we will.

Time to go back to school!

Without the sonic thing we can't
stop them!

Plus they'll get us
before we even reach...

If you can't say
anything useful, go home!

Wait! This morning,
the Slitheen Jeffrey,

he went mad when he nicked my bag.

So? What's a Slitheen
gonna care about that?

You saw him, he sniffed it, he was
scared! What was in that bag?

My books, some Tangfastics, and
my lunch. What was in your lunch?

Cold chip sandwich. I made it.

I wasn't eating from
the canteen of death.

What? They're allergic
to potato? Bread? Butter?

No, the Slitheen in the office,
ate a sandwich.

What was on the chips?
Salt and vinegar.

Salt! Must be it. If the Slitheen
are made mostly of water,

it would dehydrate them, like slugs.

No, they put extra salt in
everything, bread, butter,

it's something else...

It's gotta be the vinegar!
Vinegar, that's acetic acid.

It reacts with calcium.
They're made of calcium!

I'm right. It's the vinegar!
Kitchen!

So what're we gonna do,

just stand there and throw
pickled eggs at them?

Get it all into these.

I was joking. The car's not gonna
start, how do we get back to school?

We run!

The capacitors are charged! Time for
the coup de grace. The denouement.

Daddy. You promised I could do it.

It's appropriate, don't you think?

We are doing this for our children.

Yes.

A new beginning
for a new generation of Slitheen.

Go ahead, lad.

Turn out the sun...

WHIRRING

It just stopped,
engine's dead, they're all dead.

So all this fighting aliens stuff,

you've been doing
it for years? Not now, Clyde.

Did you go up to the
career guy at school and say,

"I wanna defend the planet from
alien invaders?" Not exactly.

So how did it start?

It's a long story. If we survive,
I'll be happy to tell you.

WHOOSH!

What's going on?
It's transduction, like the candles.

They've switched off the sun!
They're draining it.

It's getting cold.
We've got about 32.5 minutes.

Everyone's gonna die. I told you!
We're going to stop them!

What? The four of us?

With vinegar in plastic squeezies?

Alan, where's Maria?
She's at her mate's, I think.

You think?
This is the end of the world!

It's a power cut, Chrissie,
it was on the news.

The nights are drawing in and you
think it's the end of the world.

Look! The sun's blue, it's freezing!

Where is Maria, where is she?

Daddy, she's come back!

So what? She's an old woman with a
funny lipstick. End of.

My hunt! Ah-ah!

I think an adult'd
better deal with them this time.

HE CHORTLES

They just let us walk in here!

They want us here. Well, what luck,
because we want to be in here.

The secret room? It's this way...

Ah, human children, the stench
of Haribo and chicken nuggets.

Get off this planet! Shush now.

It's time to hunt.
The hunt is an instinct with us.

The only way to keep
our food safe in the days

when the Baaraddelskelliumfatrexius
beasts

wandered the plains of
Raxacoricofallapatorius. The what?

Sort of like giant squirrels.
We killed them all centuries ago.

But the hunting instinct remains!

Now! Yaaargh!

Didn't like that, did you? Vinegar!

Get back!
Sarah Jane, this way! Maria?

It's working.
We're doing our bit, you do yours!

One step further...

RAA-AA-AARGH! Keep back!

HE GROWLS

You're afraid.

A Slitheen girl your age would do
it, wouldn't think twice.

But all the fight's gone out of you.

You just stand there
shaking in your shoes.

That's why we survive,
that's why you're losers.

All of you on this rubbish planet.

That's why we win! Argh!

HE SCREAMS

Oops.

Oh, great.

I did it!

I exploded the Headmaster.

WAILING

One of the Family...
something's wrong!

Daddy, look!

It's Glune, he's been vinegared!

This is Kist Magg Thek Lutovin Day
Slitheen calling the Family,

we are under attack.

Glune Fex Fize is dead. Emergency
Plan A, all operators here, now!

Daddy!

Everything's going to be all right.

They're here.

In here.

And so are our uninvited guests!

Behold, the capacitor!

We drain the energy
into these and store it.

In ten minutes this planet's
atmosphere gets snatched away,

but we'll be safe and warm in here.

And then a spacecraft picks us up.

And we sell everything we've
collected. Why are you doing this?

The Family came here once before,
just a routine job,

but they never came back.

I think I might know what happened.
Who happened.

This planet will pay in blood!

They were our Family!
And Luke is mine!

This will give us a new beginning!

My son won't have to live like I've
had to, cringing in the darkness.

And I want my son to live, to grow
up. I want what's best for him!

Your stupid son gave us
what we needed.

I didn't! What?

I thought I did, but I didn't.
You made the mistake.

When you showed me the diagram,

you didn't tell me that you'd steal
power from the sun... It'll explode.

It's a bluff! What's a bluff?

Florm? Well, the boy might be right.
CRASH!

It's happening. Turn it off!

You heard her, turn it off!

There's vinegar in this! Water!

That's a bluff.

I knew that wouldn't work.

If I reset the system, you can
cancel the overload, make it safe?

Yes! Right. Son, reset the system!

It's reset. The system's off.

Now I'll just have to synchronise
the mega-wattage. Now!

Daddy!

Mum!

Yaaargh! Luke!

EVERYONE SHOUTS AT ONCE

HE GROWLS
Aa-aa-aah!

SHOUTING AND SCREAMING

SCREAMING

It's going to blow up! Out now!

It's out of control! Wait for me!

Resynchronize the mega-wattage!

Quickly,
we've got to get out of here!

You can't leave us in here!
Use your sonic device,

open the door. Open the door!
I'm only 12!

He's my son!

Please, let him live.

Luke.

You can't let them out!

SCREAMING

It's burnt itself out.

We did it!
He was a child. 12 years old.

It was them or us!

Some of the Slitheen got away,
I saw them vanish.

Their machine's useless now.
We broke the chain.

Except there's buildings
round the world

with secret rooms
and alien machinery.

Bye now, love to the Brig!

Just sorted that. Some friends of
mine are going to clear it all up.

Friends from UNIT? Uh-huh.
What's UNIT, a furniture shop?

Where were you? Come here!

Oh, where've you been?

We just went up town,
grabbed some burgers.

The power went off, I was so
worried! Now it's back on.

Oh, Sally Anne, bless you,
for looking after my Maria.

My head was full of things
that could've happened.

OK, where've you really been?

What d'you mean?
Such a useless liar.

Shut up, Alan.

Did you see the sun? It went blue!

I mean I've heard of a blue
moon, that's quite romantic

but it was terrifying.

I was just gonna make tea,
are you staying?

Em, don't tell me, Tuesday,
Spanish omelette.

As it happens. So predictable.

Go on then, twist my arm. Just
this once, I'll suffer your cooking.

That's brilliant! Oh, sweetheart.

I may not live here,
but I'm still looking after you.

Right, cos I'm so useless. You are!
The sun went out and you lost her!

She was off
gallivanting with Suzie Q!

Sarah Jane, her name is Sarah Jane.

Whatever, Sarah Jane.

Tell you what, though.

Funny things have been happening
since you moved in here.

I'm beginning to get suspicious.

Suspicious of what?

Well, think about it, right.

You move in, opposite Sarah Jane
and everyone turns into zombies.

Then you're with Sarah Jane
and the pop factory blows up.

Then you run off with Sarah Jane
and the sun goes out.

Just ask yourself what have
those things got in common?

Or rather,
who have they got in common? Eh?

I don't know. Me.

It's all happening to me!

I just can't move for disasters,
it's like I'm cursed!

What's that for, sweetheart?

It's cos you're cursed!

Here's your reward,

a nice cuppa.

Oh, d'you mind? Just make sure
you put that back where it belongs.

Is this from outer space?

No, Venezuela.

You ask too many questions, Clyde.

Too late to stop me now.

I suppose.

That's how I got started,
asking questions.

But you never told me.

How did you discover all
this stuff, aliens and things?

I met this man called the Doctor.

He was an alien, too.

What, like a big green thing?

No, he looked just like you and me.

Except he was nothing like
you and me.

He took me out into space
far away from Earth.

You travelled through space?

And time. I saw planets and galaxies
and all sorts of creatures,

things you would never imagine.

So where is he now, then,
this Doctor?

Still out there. Still wandering.

Still wonderful.

And he left me behind
with his legacy, I suppose.

To help and to protect.

To make a stand
and to never give up.

He sounds cool. Cool? Yeah.

So, are you gonna see him again?

I hope so.

The thing is, Clyde, you can't
tell anyone about these things.

It's got to be our secret.

Can I trust you? Yeah.

Promise. Thank you.

Sarah Jane, Maria's here. Coming!

He's gone back to calling you
Sarah Jane. It should be Mum!

D'you think?

Yeah, tell him.

Yeah, I don't know how.

'Diagnostic checks completed.

'All systems are functioning
normally.'

All right, while they're downstairs,
where are you from?

'All systems are functioning
normally.' Who built you?

'All systems are functioning
normally.

'Beware your curiosity, boy.'
ZAP!

MR SMITH CHUCKLES
Freak weather conditions?

Temporary reversals of the Earth's
magnetic poles? That's the one.

Mr Smith, start a rumour.

Insert the words "temporary reversal
of the Earth's magnetic poles"

into media reports. 'Confirmed.'

Can't believe we can't tell anyone.

I should get millions
for what I did today.

We all did it.
But who worked out the vinegar?

Thank you, Clyde Langer!

I'll walk you to the bus stop.

You're right.
This is great. Weird, but great.

And you lot need me. Can't believe
you were gonna save those Slitheen.

They tried to destroy the entire
planet, billions of people,

what was the big dilemma?

Bus stop.

You were good...

and if anyone says you're
not cool, I'll set 'em right.

He's right. Ah, you were amazing.

Again.
I nearly destroyed everything.

I messed up. I messed up.

New block, the strangeness of it...

of all people,
I should have seen it.

Instead, oh,
I sent you and Maria right in there

and that was nearly the end of you.

But I'm still here.
Always will be...

Mum.

The Lavender Lawns rest home is
apparently being haunted by a nun.

Help me. Doesn't Mr Smith believe
in ghosts? And neither do I.

When weirdo nuns turn up
on your doorstep

asking about freaky,
glowing alien gizmos.

One thing you never do,
is tell them you've got one.

The talisman is dangerous?
More than you can imagine.

No, wait. Luke!

The Abbess will want to see you.

The Abbess?
Luke, he's been nabbed by a nun.

Really? Protecting a gorgon here?

A creature
with writhing serpents for hair.

The sisters, they protect her.

Look on the face of the
gorgon and feel your flesh

turn to stone.

SCREAMING
