"Somebody just walked over my grave." " Where is she?" " I don't know." " Sarah Jane Smith." " Never heard of her." " Get out of my house." " This isn't your house!" " Get out!" " I'm gonna sort things out." "I'm gonna work out how time got changed," "I'm gonna find Sarah Jane, and then I'm gonna bring her back." " There's a huge meteor heading for Earth." " Is there?" "Only Sarah Jane can stop it and she's vanished." "Pleased to meet you, Maria." "I'm Sarah Jane Smith." " And you're Andrea Yates?" " So what if I am?" "I don't know you, how come you know me?" "July 13th, 1964." "I've gone back in time." "Sarah Jane, I will know you." " She's a loony." "Leave her alone." " Don't be so mean." "If you're lost, I'll take you to our teacher." " We're not going back, it's boring." " You're going down the pier?" "Now?" "It's closed but we'll get through." "I want to explore." " But you mustn't!" " What?" "Sarah Jane, you've got to believe me." "You mustn't go down there!" " Why not?" " July 13th, 1964." "It's today, the accident, it's about to happen." "I shouldn't be here, but I was travelling with this thing." "It's too complicated to explain." "I broke free and ended up here 'cause this was the last place he came to, 'cause he was here in 1964." "He must have been, he swapped you two over." " I'm not getting any of this." " There's nothing to get, she's creepy." "Just listen to me." "It's not safe!" "Go back, find your mates, just get back on the coach to school, go home!" "I told you she was mad." "Now come on, leave her!" " Where'd she go?" " Who cares?" "What a creep." "She said we shouldn't." " Sarah Jane, don't be so dull!" " But she was scared." "It's weird, I sort of believed her." "You'd believe a Triffid's gonna come and get us!" "Just follow me, I'll look after you." " Where is this?" "You tell me." "Oh!" " I thought I'd never see you again!" " It's so good to see you." " I was all on my own." " Where are we?" " Is this a different planet?" " I don't think we're anywhere at all." " We're in limbo." " What does that mean?" "It's nowhere." "It's nothing, Maria." "We're lost." "But you came here earlier to see her." "It's our daughter, she's disappeared!" "This isn't funny, Alan." "We never had kids." "She's about that high, she's got dark hair like me, and she's beautiful..." "Are you getting some kick out of this?" "There is no Maria!" "This is cruel, now stop it." "Maybe if there had been, we wouldn't have split up." "But it's too late for that now." " It's this box." " Oh, you're full of nonsense, you are." "You stay here." "I'm going to Andrea's birthday party, although she's real flesh and blood, Alan, so probably not your type." "Oh!" "You should make this into a utility room." " This was her bedroom." " Alan, stop it." "She said something protected her." "What if this protected her?" "If we've got a daughter, where is she?" "Look." "The day you moved in." "Andrea came to help, I took the photo." "You and her and me." "No one called Maria." " Maria was telling the truth." " Oh, this is why!" "People say, "He's gorgeous, why did you split?" This just brings it all flooding back!" "What if there's meant to be Maria and someone else?" "A woman called Sarah Jane Smith." "Andrea Yates." "Oh, I could never forget." "When I was 13, we were on a school trip." "We went onto the pier." "She fell and there was nothing I could do." "I always thought, "That could have been me. "" "But now she's alive, like she's always been alive." " What sort of woman is she?" " Bit full-on, likes a party." "Yeah, that sounds like her." "So, in the parallel world, you died and she lived." "It's not a parallel world, if only." "It's our timeline and it's been changed." "But without you, that meteor must still be on its way." "It's gonna smash into the Earth." "If I'm not there, that means the end of the world." "I was the only one that knew about it." "I got protected somehow by that box." "Box!" "The Verron soothsayer must have known this was going to happen." "He said, "Give it to the person you trust the most. "" "It linked us somehow." "I could sense you searching for me." "I called out to you." "But I dropped it, I lost it." "That little alien thing came along and I ran." " Did he do all this?" " No." "That alien, he's called a Graske." "There was Graske activity on Earth a couple of years back, but this isn't their style at all." " What do you mean?" " This is much more powerful." "Some other creature must be using the Graske as a slave." "Sarah Jane..." " Who's that?" "Sarah Jane..." " I'm being summoned." "Maria, you stay here." " Don't leave me on my own." "Oh, I'll come back." "I promise." "I'll never leave you, Maria, never." "Have you got that?" "Just wait." "Sarah Jane..." " Thank you for coming." " Thank you for inviting me." "Wouldn't be the same without you." "Hello, Joan, how are you, love?" "Go and find a drink." " Den, lovely to see you." " Hiya." "I take it this is your domain?" "Who are you?" "Nobody." "I am nothing." " Any chance you could be a bit less cryptic?" " It's hard for me to make you understand." "Ephemeral minds are so limited." "Behold." "As you can see, I have no self." "I exist only to bring disorder." "That is my purpose." " But why?" " Chaos is my blood and air and food." "You are the key to that chaos." "I have been waiting, searching through time, for just the right person at just the right moment." "I took you to aid the coming of darkness." " Where's Luke?" "Where is my son?" " The Bane never came to Earth in the timeline that I have created." "Luke Smith never existed." "People who don't exist end up here, don't they?" "So where is he?" "I demand to see my son!" "He is lost in the forgotten places, even further out than you." "But if I died all those years ago..." "Never mind the Bane." "What about the Slitheen, Gorgons, Patriarchs of the Tin Vagabond?" "I stopped them from taking over the Earth." " What happened to them?" " I turned them all away." " All I need is the meteor." " Why?" "What's so special about that?" "Those other species, they invade for profit, power, revenge." "The meteor is pure chaos." "The destruction of the Earth, for no reason at all." "Just blind chance." "This is food for me." "You'll destroy all life on Earth and you don't even care?" "I care about you." "You are so wonderful, Sarah Jane Smith." "Your life was so important and I found the right moment to snuff it out, with the help of Andrea Yates." " Andrea was my friend." " She wished to save her own life." "I could only remove you with her consent." " She agreed to it?" " I must go now." "Events are moving towards their end." " No, don't go." " I will return when the Earth is no more." "And I will explore your potential further." "In particular, your memories of this Doctor." " You leave him alone!" " I can use you to find him." "Imagine if the Doctor had never existed." "What chaos there would be across the stars." "Don't you dare!" "Don't you dare!" "Don't you dare!" "That's lovely!" "Tell your mum thanks." "I'm sorry she couldn't make it." " I'll be off." " No, no, stick around." "Here, have a bit of cake!" "Okay, no complaints from me!" "Well, look who's here!" "Hello, love, welcome." "Oh, Alan, still not found anyone?" "He is mine." "More gorgeous every day." "If I was a few years younger." "Ah, you can have him." "What's the matter, Alan, cat got your tongue?" "You could say that." "Clyde, don't put that modern stuff on." " Let it play." " This stuff's ancient." "Not to me, it isn't." "It's like yesterday." "Oh, the '60s." "That was my time." "I was just a kid back then." " You okay?" " I heard what it said." "And the meteor's coming." " We can't do anything." " There must be something." "There's always something." " My dad?" " What can he do?" "He didn't remember me." "Now you've been taken out of time, he won't remember you, either." "You what?" "Danny, are you serious?" "All right, I'll check it out." " Clyde, not again." " My mate said there's something on the news." "Can we turn on the telly?" " You kids and your TV." "It's meant to be a party!" " I won't be a minute." "The huge meteor, which was sighted at 2.15 p. m., is heading towards Earth at colossal speed, but scientists are stressing that the situation is being closely monitored." " No need to panic." " That's what Danny said!" " There's this huge rock headed for Earth." " A meteor." "It's all true." " Is it gonna hit us?" " No, Danny said it's gonna fly past." "Nothing's going to spoil my birthday!" "We need more glasses." " I'll give you a hand." " Andrea, now's your chance." "Well, I'll bring him back if he's good." "Now, I've got some paper cups somewhere." "Saves wear and tear." "Where did I put them?" " What does the name Maria mean to you?" " Oh, I don't know." "Ave Maria." "Maria Callas." "Maria who works down the petrol station." "Which Maria?" "My daughter, Maria." "Where is she?" " I don't know what you mean." " You do!" "You remember." "So do I. Whatever you've done, I'm gonna get her back!" " You mustn't, please." " Is it you?" "You're the centre of it." "I know about the accident, about Sarah Jane." "What are you talking about?" "You got me out of the way, then she was gone!" "I asked you to help me with my banner..." " Where'd you get that?" " What have you done to her?" "The whole world's forgotten her." " It's your word against mine." " I haven't forgotten." "This box, it protected Maria, and now it's protected me." "I was gonna forget." "He promised me." "One night's sleep and I'd have forgotten her." "Who?" "Who promised you?" "Come on, tell me!" "Where is she?" " You'd never believe me." " I think I would." "Andrea, please." "Tell me." "It was years ago." "I was 13." "I thought I was so grown-up." "Knew it all." "Indestructible, that's what I was." "And I had this friend..." "Oh, Alan, I'm so sorry." "I had this friend called Sarah Jane Smith." "If I've come all the way to the seaside, I wanna see the flaming sea!" "We're due back at the bus." "Jeffers will skin us!" "We larked about for a bit." "Then I went to the edge." "There was nothing there." "Andrea!" "Andrea!" "Andrea, grab my hand!" "Grab my hand, come on, Andrea." "Come on, come on, grab my hand." "I tried and tried, but I couldn't hold on." "Andrea, come on, hold my hand!" "And then I heard the voice." "Andrea." "You don't have to die." "I can save you." "Somebody has to fall, it doesn't have to be you." "You only have to agree." "Help!" "Help!" "I need your answer or I can't help." "Let her die in your place?" "Yes, yes!" " Andrea, help me!" " What happened?" "Sarah Jane!" "Sarah, take my hand, take my hand." "Sarah, take my hand!" "She was just a kid." "My gift to you, Andrea." "Same as yours." "You will forget, so that you will live a full life." "But waking or sleeping, I will always be with you, Andrea Yates." "Always." "I remembered the accident, but he made me forget everything else." "I never knew where I got this." "But somehow I could never throw it away." "When Maria came over this morning shouting about Sarah Jane, it all came back." "The voice, the deal I did." " Sacrificing your friend to save your own life." " I was 13, I was terrified." "Do you know what it's like to know you're going to die?" "To feel the end of everything closing in on you?" "Why am I even asking?" "I'm the only person alive who could possibly know." " She was your friend!" " Yes, and I loved her." "I did." "Don't look at me like that." "Oh, she was funny." "I used to crack up, the things she said." "Clever, not swotty." "In class, she didn't have to try." "Alan, I had to do it." "I had to survive." "The minute you remembered, you did it again, to Maria!" "If I didn't have this box, I would have forgotten my own daughter." " I had to send her away." " What could Maria do to you?" "She made me remember." "She made me face what I had done." "What do you want me to do, Andrea?" "And yeah, now I've done it again." "Sent your daughter away." "And how can I face that?" " I can send him away too, but you must agree." " I agree, I agree!" " Agree to what?" " I'm so sorry." "The meteor is on collision course with Britain, but the RAF has released a statement saying they are confident it can be shot down, and missiles are already being prepared." " This is amazing." " Let the army deal with it, it's what they get paid for." "Wonder what's keeping Alan." "Well, that's just ridiculous." "My ex-husband and a dwarf in a suit, now I've seen it all." "Just shut up and listen!" "The meteor is now approximately 10 minutes from impact, but hold on, we have some breaking news." "I'm being told..." "It's been confirmed." "I'm sorry." "The missile strike has failed." "It's gonna hit us!" "It's gonna blow up the Earth!" "Set me free!" "Show me how to get my daughter back here." "Now!" "It's a joke, it must be a joke." "Can you hear it?" "That's it!" "Come on!" "It's the end of the world." "But it can't be." "Why is this happening now?" "There it is!" "They'll find a way to deal with it." "They've got to." "That's real, though." "There's no way of stopping it!" "Maria said Sarah Jane can stop the meteor." "The snare will retrieve her." "Then, you set me free!" "Maria!" "Maria!" "There must be something somebody can do." " Maria..." " Maria!" "Where's Maria?" "How could I forget Maria?" " Dad, you genius!" " No, no, no, listen..." "The meteor, it's heading straight for us." " We can stop it, but we need Sarah Jane." " I don't remember Sarah Jane." "Dad, trust me." "You remembered me when I disappeared, yeah?" "I remember Sarah Jane." "She's the only person who can save us!" " How?" "She's just a normal woman, isn't she?" " She's a lot more than that." "Help me." "We can get Sarah Jane back." "Whatever you did with that thing, do it again!" " Nothing." "Nothing." " I got put back here, where I belong." "So, she'll be where she belongs." "Her attic." "Freedom!" "Please." "You saved me once before, you can do it again." "Please." "No." "Not you." " Mum!" " Oh, it's too late, sweetheart." "It's too late for all of us." "I'm sorry." "All the times I let you down, sorry!" "Not now!" "Andrea Yates." "It's you." "All grown up." "Well, look at you." "Scrubbed up well." "Always did look younger than you were." "But you can't be here, not while I'm here, you can't come back." " Sarah Jane!" " That's her?" "She's only in the mirror." "This didn't work." "I can't get back while Andrea's here." "And I must get back, to save Luke." "To save the world!" " But what do we do?" " There is a way." "It's why the creature got rid of Maria." "She confronted you, might have persuaded you to go back on your deal." "This whole thing depends upon your agreement to my death all those years ago." "If you break off the deal, Sarah Jane comes back." " All you have to do is pull out of it, say no!" " I can't!" "If you don't, that meteor's gonna hit!" "Is that what you want?" "I'm sorry, Andrea, but you were meant to die." "Meant?" "Who says I'm meant to die?" "I was so young, I had so much to do, and I did it, look at me." "I lived every single moment," " 'cause I knew what it was worth." " So did I." " And you're the chosen one, the golden girl?" " Oh, nobody was chosen." "It was stupid what happened that day, but this is worse!" "That thing twisted it, he used you!" "So I die, at 13." "And my son gets a chance to live." "He's lost out there, Andrea, somewhere terrible, and I am begging you, please save him." "If I do, what happens to my life?" "All the things I did as I grew up, they get scrubbed out?" "I get forgotten?" "No, you were never forgotten, never." "What I saw that day, it changed me forever." "I saw how precious life is." "And it made me fight to defend it all these years." "Because of you, Andrea." "It was all because of you." "My best friend." " Is that him?" "The Trickster?" " Dad, no, don't go near him." "Andrea Yates." "They want to kill you all over again." "Remember your bargain with me." "You tricked me!" "You used a child." " And now you're destroying the Earth!" " Chaos is good." "Well, I say no." "If there's one thing I can do with my life, I can put a stop to you." "I've changed my mind!" "I'm taking the deal back!" "Then you will die." "I've been dead for 40 years." "Been a good life." "It's my birthday." "Bye, Sarah Jane." "I'm going now." "And you're free!" "Andrea!" "Grab my hand, grab my hand." " Grab my hand, Andrea!" " Remember me." "No!" "I'm back." "We're back, all of us!" "Back where we belong." "That felt like a spatiotemporal shift caused by extra quantum forces." " In English?" " Oh, it's all back to normal!" " The meteor!" " It's still coming!" "Sarah Jane, do something!" " Thirty seconds to impact." " Mr Smith, I need you!" "Emergency measures required." "I know!" "Luke, steady the magnetic buffer." " Done!" " Come on!" "Right, Mr Smith, activate!" "She did it!" "She did it!" "Like Bobby Sue had anything to do with that." "You'll be telling me she invented the zip fastener next." "Meteor K67 has been deflected." " Never mind that, you're back." " Was I away?" "And you are never, ever, ever going away again!" " What just happened?" " A friend of mine just saved the world." "Her name was Andrea Yates." "Oh!" "That was brilliant, we did it, you should've seen it." "What's he doing here?" "Right." "Aliens, monsters, supercomputers." "Is anybody going to tell me what's going on?" "Come on." "I need some answers." "Who's going first?" "It's been five months since we saw Ashley." "Mr Smith, I need you, more than ever." "I told you, there's something wrong with that woman." "Ashley, oh, my God!" " I wish I had all the answers." " No!" "We're part of something bigger than living on Bannerman Road." "You've got powerful friends." "I told you when we met." "My life is dangerous." "This is serious stuff, Maria." "Crazy, but serious." "Dad says we're moving." "Says I can't have anything to do with you." "Sometimes it's the only way to survive."
