TVTranscript
00:01Thirteen Bannerman Road is where Sarah Jane Smith lives.
00:04And it's home to things way beyond your imagination.
00:07There's an extraterrestrial super computer in the war,
00:11a genetically engineered boy genius in the attic,
00:14a schoolgirl investigator across the road,
00:17and a whole universe of adventure right here on the doorstep.
00:26Ready? Always.
00:31Ashen Hill Manor is reputably one of the most haunted locations in the UK.
00:37Ghosts do not exist.
00:40My children!
00:41Disappearances?
00:43Nobody said anything about any disappearances.
00:46EMF readings throughout the house are fighting.
00:49Something's happening.
00:52Where did she go?
00:53You crossed my threshold with your own free will,
00:56and now by my will, you shall steal me.
01:00You will never leave this place.
01:17You will be with me for eternity.
01:19Mr...
01:20Darkling?
01:21Good to meet you.
01:22You're a legend, really.
01:23But, uh, this is a one night only appearance.
01:26It's not like we're not tempted, but we've got school on Monday,
01:28so, uh, yeah, we just...
01:30You crossed my threshold.
01:35In a single step you left choice behind.
01:38Now you are in my world.
01:40Your world?
01:41You need to get out more, mate.
01:43Oh, sorry, you can't. I forgot. You're a ghost.
01:46A ghost?
01:47Is that what you think I am?
01:49I am a child. There's no such thing as ghosts.
01:53Oh, boy. This is worse than the six cents.
01:56Are you in for a shock?
01:58You... are mine.
02:02You will not have them.
02:04That's...
02:05Martswood.
02:07It's a super spook smackdown.
02:09Have you not yet faded into the ether?
02:12Not while your shadow still stains the walls of my family, wizard.
02:15We exist at different frequencies.
02:18Your steel cannot harm me, Martswood.
02:22And your magic cannot hurt me again.
02:26Run!
02:29You shall not mistake me.
02:31No one escapes me.
02:33How do we get out of here?
02:35Just keep running.
02:39Come this way. Quickly.
02:42Oh, ghost boy.
02:49Who's here?
02:55Whoever you are, whatever you are,
02:58I am neither frightened of you, nor here to hurt you.
03:03If you want to communicate,
03:05I'm listening.
03:19Who's there?
03:20Who's there?
03:25Farrah Jane!
03:26Help me!
03:27Farrah Jane!
03:28Help me!
03:29Farrah Jane!
03:30Professor Rivers?
03:31Celeste, is that you?
03:32Help me!
03:33Farrah Jane!
03:34Help me!
03:35I will.
03:36I will help you.
03:37I promise.
03:38Farrah Jane!
03:39Help me!
03:40Farrah Jane!
03:41Help me!
03:42It's coming for you.
03:43Professor Rivers!
03:44Oh!
03:45Sarah Jane!
03:46What are you doing?
03:47Oh, bless.
03:48We found Erasmus Starkling.
03:49He seemed pretty lively for a ghost.
03:50He's not a ghost.
03:51I've seen him too.
03:52Whatever's going on in this house,
03:53it is far more dangerous than a haunting.
03:54There's this technology down there.
03:55It's ancient.
03:56And it didn't look like it had any business being here 340 years ago.
03:57Show me.
03:58There's a secret passageway in the control room.
03:59You must leave this place.
04:00Lord Marchald.
04:01Hey, what are you doing?
04:02What are you doing?
04:03Oh, bless.
04:04We found Erasmus Starkling.
04:05He seemed pretty lively for a ghost.
04:06He's not a ghost.
04:07I've seen him too.
04:08Whatever's going on in this house, it is far more dangerous than a haunting.
04:12There's this technology down there.
04:13It's ancient.
04:14And it didn't look like it had any business being here 340 years ago.
04:18Show me.
04:19There's a secret passageway in the control room.
04:21You must leave this place.
04:24Lord Marchald.
04:25Lord Marchald.
04:26Hey, the lordship.
04:29Thanks for earlier.
04:30He helped us escape from darkening.
04:32Yes, he saved me too.
04:34Whatever you do, don't go into the grounds.
04:36There's something out there.
04:37There is still time if you leave now.
04:39The creature that attacked you needs time to reassemble.
04:41No, we can't leave.
04:42Not without our friend.
04:43Your friend is lost to darkening.
04:45As is everyone who comes here, as am I.
04:49As are my children.
04:50But your children helped us escape out of the tunnel.
04:52You've seen Elizabeth and Joseph.
04:53So have I.
04:54They're here.
04:55In this house.
04:56They're looking for you.
04:57I have searched for over 300 years.
04:58Darkling says you exist at different frequencies.
04:59So that's how he separated you from your children.
05:00He is a curse upon my house, upon my family.
05:01He has taken the very land of my ancestors and turned it against us.
05:05And I am responsible.
05:12You didn't die here, did you?
05:13And neither did your children.
05:14No one died here, did they?
05:18This curse is more than death itself.
05:20and I am responsible.
05:22You didn't die here, did you?
05:24And neither did your children.
05:26No one died here, did they?
05:29This curse is more than death itself.
05:33Miss Smith, you should see this.
05:46I was coming to look for you, and they were just there.
05:50It's all the people who've disappeared in the house.
06:06Poor, poor souls.
06:11Still say there's no such thing as ghosts, Miss Smith.
06:16You said you wanted to help us.
06:18I do.
06:20You're all trapped here.
06:23He trapped us.
06:24Your husband Starkling?
06:25He's as much a part of this house as the bricks and mortar.
06:29He took my whole family away.
06:31Is anybody there?
06:33Can anybody help me?
06:34What about Professor Rivers?
06:36She hasn't been fully absorbed yet.
06:38Absorbed?
06:39By the house.
06:40Then that means there's still time to get her back.
06:42Please, help us all.
06:43Joseph and I, we miss our father.
06:46We want him back.
06:48He's okay, we've seen him.
06:50Release us from this purgatory.
06:54What treachery is this?
06:56I grant you all life eternal.
07:00And this is how you honor my beneficence.
07:04Darkening, no.
07:06We go.
07:06What are you, Erasmus Starkling?
07:18I am lord of this place.
07:20And all who cross its threshold and step into my dominion.
07:25I am Erasmus Starkling, lord of magic.
07:28You really shouldn't believe your own press, you know.
07:31Maybe people believed in magic when you were conning Lord Marchwood that you could make gold from lead.
07:36But not anymore.
07:38Hmm.
07:40The passage for 340 years has bequeathed humankind with a little more wisdom, I see.
07:48Are you saying you're not human?
07:52You're an alien.
07:53Alien?
07:54What are you talking about?
07:55These are ghosts, not aliens.
07:58This is an emissary of the afterlife.
08:01Call me what you will.
08:03Know only that this is my world, that I rule all who cross its threshold.
08:09And that this night, I will come for you all.
08:15Well, he knows what to leave you wanting more, I'll give him that.
08:29So, if he's responsible for the professor vanishing, why didn't he take us when he had the chance?
08:35Because he's playing with us.
08:37Trying to scare us.
08:39Well, don't scare that easily.
08:43Listen to me, Darkening.
08:45I have fought the worst things from the darkest corners of the universe.
08:50You don't stand a ghost of a chance.
08:53I'm not sure that was entirely wise.
09:00Come on, show me how to get a Darkening exchange.
09:09Well, can't say I'm looking forward to this.
09:12Hold on.
09:13If Darkening catches us all in his lab, we're going to be in real trouble.
09:16She's got a point.
09:17I mean, when he found us down there before, it wasn't exactly what you'd call a magical nightclub.
09:21You need someone to keep him busy.
09:23No, it's out of the question.
09:25That's far too dangerous.
09:26And all of us piling into Darkening's lab isn't.
09:28Even a ghost can't be in two places at one time.
09:31Not even an alien ghost.
09:33Which means, if me and Clyde are keeping him busy, there's no way he can stop me taking a look at that thing down there.
09:38The logic is undeniable.
09:40All right, but stay together and whatever you do, don't go outside.
09:44Okay.
09:45You be careful.
09:46Don't worry about me.
09:48I've got Toby.
09:52Come on.
10:02So, how do you distract a ghost?
10:05You find him a pretty girlfriend?
10:09Right.
10:09Yeah.
10:09Tell me, why are you so determined to believe in a supernatural?
10:17You're a scientist.
10:18Your father was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Physics.
10:21He must know it's nonsense.
10:22When I was six years old, something used to come into my room.
10:27Something?
10:28Something grey.
10:30Something grey.
10:31With no face.
10:35It stood and watched me.
10:38All night.
10:40And don't try to tell me it was a dream by my father did.
10:43I pleaded with him to let me sleep in another room.
10:48I begged him and I cried.
10:52But he wouldn't let me.
10:56I'd never forget him for that.
10:57I'd never forget him.
10:58I said, don't go.
11:03Hey, Darkning!
11:04Shh!
11:07Where are you hiding?
11:10We've come to bust you.
11:13Yeah, well, I'd feel a whole lot better if I was wearing a Ghostbusters proton pack right now.
11:18Yeah.
11:19I know what you mean.
11:21They even make boiler suits look cool.
11:25Talking of which, is it getting cold in here?
11:28I thought that was just me.
11:30Well, Sarah Jane would say it's psychological.
11:33I suppose she's right, isn't she, about ghosts?
11:36If Darkling's an alien, I mean, he looks just like us.
11:41Oh.
11:42Some aliens are like us.
11:45The doctor looked human.
11:48What's that?
11:51I think what?
11:53Where's your neighbours?
11:56We're getting closer.
11:58Come on.
12:04I think it's happening again!
12:05Something tells me we're not now in here.
12:23I think Darkling's got us right where we wanted us.
12:46Yeah, we're snookered, all right?
12:55Get down!
13:02We have to get out of here.
13:03No, no, wait.
13:04Not that way.
13:05Whatever chaser's in here is still out there.
13:07Don't go outside.
13:08I don't know.
13:08Oh!
13:08It's stuck.
13:09Come on.
13:10Come on!
13:11Come on!
13:14Oh, got it!
13:14Look out!
13:17Look out!
13:18I'm never playing pool again.
13:27What was it Sarah Jane said we shouldn't do?
13:30Whatever happened?
13:33Don't go outside.
13:43It's locked.
13:45Hey!
13:46Let us in!
13:47Sarah Jane's in the tunnels.
13:48She can't hear you.
13:49What was that?
13:52Could just be a fox.
13:54Or whatever Sarah Jane said was out here.
13:59Come on.
14:00There's got to be another way in.
14:03Nobody home?
14:05That's a good start.
14:07It's freezing.
14:10We're underground.
14:16What is that?
14:31Exactly what I expected.
14:33Alien technology.
14:35It's like a computer built of brass and iron.
14:39I think it's a computer.
14:40I've seen something like it before.
14:41I think it's some sort of trans-dimensional accelerator.
14:45I don't understand.
14:47This entire house has been turned into a portal to another galaxy.
14:55We're locked out.
14:56With whatever attack Sarah Jane.
14:58This is not good, Clyde.
15:02No.
15:04That's not good.
15:06Come on.
15:07The pavilion.
15:08It all makes sense.
15:12Erasmus Starkling is an alien.
15:13And over 300 years ago, he was trapped here on Earth.
15:16So he pretended to be an alchemist.
15:18Finding the secret of turning the land into gold.
15:21But all the time he was really building this.
15:23A way to get home.
15:24It works by bending one dimension over another
15:27and opening a doorway through.
15:28A portal.
15:29And Professor Rivers has, what, gone through it?
15:33I think something went wrong 300 years ago.
15:36It's been malfunctioning ever since.
15:38And Darkney is somehow manipulating the accelerator's power.
15:41He's channeling it.
15:44You're saying all these ghosts...
15:49are living people?
15:54Trapped between dimensions.
15:57What happens if we turn it off?
16:00The disappearances will stop.
16:02But those people, they'll be lost forever.
16:04Including Celeste Rivers.
16:05It's not exactly the Alamo.
16:22I hope not.
16:24They got into the Alamo.
16:24Yeah, well, it'll have to do.
16:26There's something in those bushes.
16:27I'm sure of it.
16:28Yeah, but the trouble with tonight is
16:30it doesn't matter what you shut out.
16:31You never know what you're locking yourself in with.
16:34Great.
16:35Thanks for that thought.
16:35I'm sorry, I'm dead.
16:37I just hope you gave Sarah Jane a chance to fix whatever's going on here.
16:41Is there some way of reversing it?
16:44Possibly.
16:46I've seen trans-dimensional accelerators before.
16:49Travelled in something that used the same principle for years.
16:52You did what?
16:53Oh, there are so many things out there more exciting than ghost hunting, Toby.
16:58Who exactly are you?
17:01Nobody special.
17:03Whoever he is now, Rasmus Darkening was once a very, very clever scientist.
17:08My mind is a colossus, Miss Smith.
17:11Shh.
17:12Time is meaningless to me.
17:14I have contemplated the mysteries, the physics of the universe, of time, of life itself.
17:24Every being that has become part of my dominion feeds my existence.
17:31You mean the Accelerator is powered by the lives of the people it takes?
17:34No one dies here.
17:36I thought you understood that.
17:38The Accelerator's malfunction transformed this house into a gateway to eternity.
17:42It's not a gateway, it's a trap.
17:45You're using the Accelerator to steal life energy to give you immortality.
17:50And soon, you too shall be taken unto me.
17:55No one can escape the house.
17:59And it is a better fate than that faced by your young friends.
18:04Light and run.
18:05Where are they?
18:06The Accelerator was not entirely successful.
18:11But it did open a gateway.
18:13No, son.
18:18Creature outside.
18:20Oh, no, in the realms.
18:24Well, if there was anything out there, I think it's gone.
18:29Maybe we should make a break for it.
18:31Sarah Jane might need us.
18:32Yeah.
18:35What was that?
18:38Something up there.
18:39Oh, that's it.
18:49We're getting out of here.
18:49I reckon that's what Sarah Jane was talking about.
19:03Well, at least it's polite.
19:04What is it?
19:10I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it's not from round here.
19:15I just can get in any minute.
19:17We need a plan.
19:18No, no, no, no.
19:18Not a plan.
19:19What we need.
19:20Not a couple of walls.
19:25Right.
19:26Whatever's out there, it's not exactly right, is it?
19:29I mean, it could get through that door, no problem.
19:31You're right.
19:32We can take it.
19:35Whatever it is.
19:36Wherever it's from, it's him or us.
19:45Are you ready?
19:51What's going on?
19:52Time runs short.
20:12Sarah Jane!
20:13Oh, thank heavens you were right.
20:16Lord Marchwood saved us and brought us back into the house.
20:19You are Lord Marchwood.
20:23Nothing dies in darkness, Dominion, and nothing lives.
20:27I have done what I could to save people from this cursed house and from darkness power.
20:31You tried to save us?
20:32By scaring us away?
20:34The poltergeist activity.
20:35It was you.
20:36Look at these EMF readings.
20:38Wow, your lordship, you are smoking.
20:41If this was a seismometer and you were a volcano, we'd all be running away with a hair on fire.
20:46Look at that.
20:46It's extraordinary.
20:49It says this sorcerer's box.
20:51Well, this isn't sorcery.
20:53This is science.
20:55That's right.
20:56And I think it's given me an idea how we can defeat Darkwood.
20:59But Lord Marchwood, we're going to need your help.
21:01I have brought this curse upon my house and my family.
21:05I would do anything to lift it.
21:08Toby, how much electrical cabling do you have?
21:14Darkening.
21:15Hear me, magician.
21:19The curse you have cast upon this house ends tonight.
21:23For over three hundred years I have sought my children and watched you take soul after soul, but no more.
21:31And you will stop me.
21:33Was it not you, Marchwood, that brought all this upon your house?
21:37It was your hand that took innocent people from the village darkening and cast them into whatever infernal place they went.
21:45Your hand that took Elizabeth and Joseph.
21:49My children.
21:51It was your hand that sought to strike me and take my life and founded my dominion.
21:57You attacked me.
22:05You damaged my device.
22:08You caused all that has happened here.
22:11You took my children.
22:13I wanted only to return home.
22:17But you stopped my experiments.
22:22Lord Marchwood has to get Darkening to step into the electromagnetic field.
22:26You took innocent people and dispatched their living souls to the netherworld.
22:29But tonight I end this curse.
22:36Energy can neither be created or destroyed, only changed.
22:39Every time Lord Marchwood attacked that creature outside, he absorbed its energy.
22:43That's why the EMF made us part.
22:45Electricity creates its own magnetic field.
22:48You're trapped Darkening and absorbed him.
22:49Why don't you turn him into electricity?
22:51But he has to step into the trap.
22:52What about Marchwood?
22:54If he's in it, he'll be destroyed.
23:02Meet me, Darkening.
23:04You cannot harm me, Marchwood.
23:08Then meet me.
23:11I know that you are not a man.
23:13But perhaps just this once act like one.
23:22Did you think I would be so easily vanquished, Miss Smith?
23:37I told you my intellect is a colossus.
23:42How could you think I would not see through so transparent a stratagem?
23:48You'll disappoint me, Sarah Jane Smith.
23:55I never like to disappoint.
24:05Get back!
24:14Mr. Patrick!
24:18I'm fine, thank you.
24:46Darkening, has he gone?
24:47I think so.
24:49The magnetic field blew his fuse.
24:52What's the trouble with having a colossal internet?
24:54Do you think you're so much cleverer than everyone else?
24:56Never consider what other people might be hiding up their sleeves.
25:00And Lord Marchwood and his children, have they gone too?
25:02And Professor Rivers?
25:03What have you done with my equipment?
25:06Do you have any idea how much its equipment is worth?
25:10Yes, I know, Professor. I'm sorry.
25:11We have just witnessed the most amazing phenomena in this house.
25:14And do we have any record of it?
25:16No, but on the other hand, Professor, it wasn't paranormal.
25:19It was alien.
25:20I give up. I give up.
25:24The accelerator was synchronized with Darkening's energies.
25:27When the magnetic field destroyed him, it must have overloaded.
25:30There's something Professor Griffith's about.
25:33But what about all the others?
25:36They wanted to be released. At least their nightmare is over.
25:40Well, I can't leave Darkening's device as it is.
25:43I have to take care of it.
25:45Permanently.
25:46What about Lord Marchwood and his children?
25:55Do you think they found each other?
25:57I don't know.
25:58Well, I'm not sure that exercise proved or disproved anything as regards the paranormal.
26:11But it certainly was interesting.
26:13I look forward to the next time.
26:16Me too.
26:18I just wanted to thank you, Miss Smith.
26:21What for?
26:22Well, let's say you broaden my horizons.
26:25Maybe I shouldn't be looking for ghosts.
26:27I should be looking to the stars instead.
26:30It's a wonderful universe, Toby.
26:32And no matter how much you think you know, it will always have one more surprise for us.
26:35Don't ever forget that.
26:37I won't.
26:51So that's it then?
26:53No more haunted house?
26:54Why are you paying attention?
26:56There never was a haunted house.
26:58It was just an alien with a trans-dimensional accelerator on the blink.
27:02So, no such thing as ghosts then, Sarah Jane?
27:07Right.
27:10That's right.
27:13No such thing as ghosts.
27:32Tomorrow morning, this entire class will be the first to see the Mona Lisa.
27:43The Mona Lisa has been stolen!
27:45When I act like a real teenager, you want me to be perfect again.
27:48The way the bane made me.
27:50Whatever we're dealing with, it's more than just an art thing.
27:52Sarah Jane!
27:54The Mona Lisa!
27:54The Mona Lisa!
