I'm sorry, I know it's late,
but this is a really special order.

This woman turns up out of the blue.

Her florist has let her down
she's got this important do tomorrow.

And money, she says, is no object.

So I tell her, "If you're asking me
to work Saturday night

"to dig you out of the fertiliser,
it better not be."

I could come over and help.

Dad's cooking one of his specials.
I could bring some.

Oh, thank you, darling, but I think
I've got everything I need.

You know me, if somebody's here,
I'll be rabbiting instead of working.

Believe me, my darling, tonight
rabbits and flowers do not go.

I'll keep some on a low heat.

KNOCKING ON DOOR

There's somebody at the door.
I hope it's not the client,

I'm nowhere near done. Well, see you
later. Love you. Don't wait up.

She says not to wait up.

Mmm!

Oh, sorry.
I haven't quite finished yet.

You're very welcome to take a seat.

Cup of tea? That won't be necessary.

I think this is as we agreed.

Oh. Oh, yes.

What an unusual name.

Wormwood.

Mrs Wormwood.

ULTRASONIC BUZZING

Arghh!

Sleep well.

GASPING

The time of man

is over.

Hello, Luke.

It was a nightmare. That's all.

But it seemed so real.

She spoke to me,
she said, "Hello, Luke."

But I didn't name you Luke until
after the Bane were destroyed,

Mrs Wormwood along with them.
It was just a dream.

But I don't dream.

I never have.

INSISTENT KNOCKING ON DOOR

Rani? My mum - she's disappeared!

Thank you for coming over,
but I don't know what you can do.

What have the police said?

Has anything like this ever happened
before? Is she on medication?

Did we have a row?

Mum wouldn't just leave the shop.

She didn't even take her van.
Why was she there so late?

She had a rush order. And there were
no signs of a struggle at the shop?

There were flowers
all over the floor.

I wish I could save you
and your father all this worry.

All I know is that people
do disappear all the time,

and then come back, safe and sound.

We know the world
isn't as safe as that.

You think she was taken by aliens?
There's no reason to suppose that.

What about Mr Trueman?
She walked off then.

There's really no evidence...

You could use Mr Smith.
He could look for Mum.

I'll do what I can. But first I'd
like to take a look at the shop.

I got the message.

Gita's disappeared?

Rani must be going off her head.
Is it aliens?

If there has been an alien here in
the last 24 hours,

it will have left an energy trace.

Oh, no.

Aliens?

Yes.

But the trace is too weak
to identify the species.

It's the Bane.

What? The shape-shifty squiddy
things that made you?

How could you know that?
Mrs Wormwood.

Mr Smith, I need you!

Yes, Sarah Jane?

You appear to be
in something of a hurry.

Rani's mother has been
kidnapped by the Bane.

I think Mrs Wormwood left this for me
to find.

An intentional clue?
Or maybe it's a red herring.

The Bane are not usually
the perpetrators of intrigue.

Their purpose in visiting a planet
is rather more fundamental -

to feed.

Mrs Wormwood has set this up
to get my attention.

I'm betting there's some
sort of clue on that cheque.

The cheque is for the Mercian Bank,

but the sort code and account digits
are not what they purport to be.

So, what are they?

They form a tetric-bi-axial
numeric code.

Deciphering now...

It's an address. It's an invitation.

So what are we waiting for?
Let's get my mum.

How long have you been there?
Long enough.

I'm going alone. If Mrs Wormwood
has gone to this trouble,

it won't just be for me -
she could be after Luke.

She's not having you.
I can look after myself.

You're staying here. And you're to
make sure that he does. Yeah. Sure.

No. This is my mum.
No way are you leaving me behind!

All right, but this is dangerous.

You do exactly as I say.

The Bane are a cephalopod race,

who use shape-shifting technologies
to infiltrate planets.

Mrs Wormwood led their invasion plans
last time,

but she and the other Bane served
the Bane Mother.

They made this drink,

Bubbleshock -

sold it right across the country.

I remember that. It was foul. Then
you were one of the 2% unaffected.

You were the reason they made Luke.

Mrs Wormwood needed to refine
the formula,

so she took samples from
thousands of people

and created
the perfect human being - Luke.

Looks like you're right.
She's expecting us.

Stay close behind me.

Mum!

Mum!

Mum, it's me! It's Rani.

Look, I think she's all right.

It's just some sort of
induced trance.

I thought it would be better
this way.

Fewer witnesses.

Mrs Wormwood.

Still hiding out in
factory units, I see.

Sarah Jane Smith.

Still involving children
in your dangerous games.

You kidnapped my mum! Hello, Rani.

How do you know my name?

Oh, I've been watching you.

You're taller than your predecessor.

How does she like America?

I always said we should have
launched Bubbleshock there.

More cosmopolitan taste buds.

What do you want?

I want...your help.

I beg your pardon?

Believe me, I take no pleasure
in this, Miss Smith.

You're asking for help?!

After you kidnap my mum
and put her in a trance?

You've got a funny way of
saying "please" on your planet!

I didn't imagine that simply
knocking on your door was an option.

Oh, how is the Archetype,
by the way?

His name is Luke,
and you stay away from him!

Oh, I have no interest in the boy.

He was merely an experiment.

A failed experiment, thanks to you.

Well, now he is my son
and I will protect him with my life!

Then you have no option
but to help me.

Is that some sort of threat?

Your entire planet is under threat,
Miss Smith. The entire galaxy.

Sarah Jane,
there's something here!

It's a trap!
Oh, no! It's me they're after!

They've got us trapped!
Who are they? I'm warning you!

You are an enemy
of the Bane Kindred.

Surrender or be devoured!

Bane! They're Bane!

I never surrender!

They're only stunned! Run!

Let go of me!

Sarah Jane!

You have to save her!

I do so loathe amateurs!

Aggh! Aggh! Aggh!

I'm not past my sell-by date yet.

Shut the doors!

I don't understand.
Why are the Bane after you? My
mission on Earth was a failure.

You killed the Bane Mother.
I was blamed

and cast out from the Bane Kindred.
They're hunting you?

No. I'm hunted cos I want to
stop them taking over the galaxy.

Will Luke be in?
Never mind Luke, what about Mum?

Wakey-wakey.

Oh!

What's going on?

Mum! You're all right!

What am I doing here?

You went sleep-walking, Gita.

Come off it!
Dad's been really worried.

You'd better get her home.

Haven't you been in my shop? No.

I despise flowers.

Mum's back.

Hello, Luke.

Mum? What's she doing here?

Mrs Wormwood wants our help.
That's Mrs Wormwood?

I thought you said she was
an ugly bug-eyed squid thing.

Children! They have no respect.

So this is from where
you save the world?

How comfortingly unsophisticated.

Mr Smith, I need you!

And there's a computer in the wall!

I had no idea that you
could be so entertaining.

Good afternoon, Sarah Jane.

I see that we have a visitor.

Mrs Wormwood is Bane.

So my bio-analysis tells me.

How much make-up does it take
before you get out in a morning?

Is it wise to have Bane in the
attic? Watch her closely, Mr Smith.

At the first sign of trouble, you are
to put her in a containment vortex.

Do you understand? Perfectly.

Dad's looking after Mum.

Did I miss anything? Luke's
family aren't exactly lookers.

She's not my family. No, Clyde.
She isn't. Sorry.

And now it's about time
you told us exactly what's going on.

The Bane Kindred blamed me for
the failure of our Earth invasion.

And for the death
of the Bane Mother.

Do you know what Bane do
to their kind who fail them?

I'm not sure that I want to.
They eat them...

..alive.

But you escaped. Obviously.

I made you rather handsome,
didn't I? For a human.

And there can't be anyone at your
school to match your intelligence.

Just get to the point.

Have you ever heard the legend
of Horath? Of the Dark Empire?

No.

Mr Smith?

The Dark Empire was a period
of tyrannical galactic rule

by a mysterious and reportedly
immortal alien entity called Horath

who crushed the civilisations of
all but the most primitive planets.

Your hole-in-the-wall machine
really is very impressive.

Horath was defeated,
but couldn't be killed,

so his body and his consciousness
were divided and they were hidden

at opposite ends of the galaxy.

Are you saying that
the Bane have found Horath?

His consciousness.

In the Kaldeann Cluster.

They have a mercenary agent
bringing it to Earth.

And, don't tell me, this is where
they hid the other half. Right?

3,000 years ago there was
nowhere more primitive than Earth.

Little has changed.

The Bane get hold of this
and take it over the galaxy.

And stopping them is your way
of getting your own back?

We Bane have a saying -

the sweetest delicacy
is the tongue of an enemy

that has looked at you
and licked their lips.

I am now officially a vegetarian.

So where is Horath's body?

If I knew,

would I shackle myself with the
tedium of asking you for help?

But the Bane know?

Of course. So how do we find Horath?

Sarah Jane, there is a relic.

The Tungustra scroll that tells
the story of Horath

and his final resting place.

So where is it?

The Black Archive.

Why does that sound so cool
and so scary at the same time?

The Archive is the repository
of everything on Earth

that shouldn't exist, but does.

The UNIT vaults.

That, Miss Smith,

is why I need you.

Mr Smith, contain Mrs Wormwood.
Instantly.

What treachery is this? Don't worry.

You'll be perfectly safe
while I'm gone.

How can you know that?
The Bane have agents everywhere!

Aggh!

So is this it? The day Clyde Langer
finally hooks up with UNIT?

Locked and loaded, ready to
fight the scum of the universe!

Haven't I taught you
there are better ways

of dealing with aliens than guns?

What do you expect? He's a boy.

UNIT have their uses.

In my experience, guns never solved a
problem they didn't first make worse.

And UNIT can be so suspicious.

They're not the only ones.

Can we really trust Mrs Wormwood?
I don't know.

If I tell UNIT about Mrs Wormwood,
they could start asking questions.

About me? Questions it would be
difficult to answer,

without them
getting more suspicious.

Oh, Luke, you have to stay here,
but keep away from Mrs Wormwood.

Yes. Of course. And Clyde, stay
with him. Keep an eye on things.

Please...keep him safe.

No problem.

Right, come on, Rani.

I need to see a friend.

A very old friend.

Brigadier, sir.

Major Kilburne.

What a surprise.
Your wife let me in.

Oh, yes. What can I do for you?

I'm here to de-brief you, sir. On
your mission in Peru. On my what?

Good God, man, I'm retired.

I don't do missions any more. And
I certainly don't do de-briefings.

I'm sorry, Sir Alistair, but you
do remain UNIT's special envoy.

Yes, which allows you to
dust me down once in a while

before sending me off
on some fool's errand to Peru.

I'm sorry, sir, but the Homeworld
Security Mandate dictates...

Homeworld Security!

That's the trouble
with UNIT these days.

Too many buzz-words,
too many directives.

At least in my day we maintained
the benefit of common sense.

With respect, Sir Alistair, UNIT
has had to adapt to the challenges

of a more hostile universe.

In my day, we took on Daleks,

Cybermen, Autons, Zygons
and all manner of space-thuggery,

and it doesn't get
more hostile than that!

No, Brigadier, you're so right.
It doesn't.

Sarah Jane Smith!

Hello, Sir Alastair!

It's been a long time.
Oh, yes, it has!

Major Kilburne, Miss Smith.

It's an honour to meet you.

I've read most of your files.

Some are still level 1 security
restricted. I'm only level 2.

My files have a higher
security rating than I ever did.

I think we're finished here, Major.
Yes, sir.

Good day, Sir Alistair.

Miss Smith.

Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.

I'm afraid this
isn't a social call.

I would almost be disappointed
if it were.

How can I help you?

I need to break into
the Black Archive.

Oh.

I've met some pretty nasty characters
since I hooked up with Sarah Jane.

But as far as I'm concerned, none of
them can hold a candle to my old man

for what he did to me and my mum.

But at the same time, he was my dad.

Without him, I wouldn't even be here.

That's what I'm thinking.
About Mrs Wormwood.

I want to see her.
Sarah Jane told you to keep away.

I don't know, it's not
like she wanted a kid, is it?

The Bane wanted to take
over the world and eat us.

Believe me, that's something most
families don't want to talk about.

I'm going.

Please.

DOOR OPENS

Luke.

I see you haven't abandoned me.

Thank you.

I want to ask you some questions.

Of course.

Release me, and we can talk.

I'm not going to release you.

I won't harm you.

I created you.

It must have been
very difficult for you, Luke,

being born into this strange world,

knowing so much and yet...

nothing at all.

I was born running.

Sarah Jane gave me a name.

I like Luke. I like Luke.

She made me into a person.

From the raw material I provided.

How does it feel to be so special?

It isn't always easy.

Is that why you wanted to talk?

Do you hate me for giving you life?

I enjoy my life.

But this world is complicated,
however clever you are.

And sometimes, you feel so isolated.

You are quite unique
throughout the entire universe,

alone in its darkness...

..without blood kin...

..just as I am.

So that's the Black Archive facility?

Yes. No-one's allowed anywhere near
there without level 1 clearance.

But they won't look
twice if you drive up.

All the same, if they were to catch
you in there, it won't go well.

There's no other way. I won't risk
UNIT taking an interest in Luke.

For men like Major Kilburne,
he isn't human.

That means he's a threat.
Their agent is already on his way.

We have to get the scroll, find
Horath

and stop them bringing him back to
life!

Better get in the back,
and get down.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Pass through, sir.

We're here.

Stay put while I check
the coast is clear.

Brigadier, what are you doing here?

Major Kilburne,
this must be my lucky day.

Sir, I'm sorry we got off on
the wrong foot earlier.

I fully understand the debt

the world owes to you and the men of
UNIT in the past.

That's very gracious of you, Major.

Perhaps we could go for
dinner some time, sir.

I'd be fascinated to hear some of
your stories about the old days.

Yes, of course.

I look forward to it.

By the way...

you didn't say, sir. What are you
doing at the archive?

My memoirs, Major.

Now that the cat's out of the bag
about aliens, it seems as good

a time as any to tell a few of
those stories about the old days.

I see. Just don't give away
our secrets, will you, sir?

Come on, quickly.

In there.
This will get you into the archive.

You'll move faster without me.

I'll keep watch out here.
Come on, Rani.

Thank you!

It's huge!

Shh! The most
extensive collection

of alien artefacts
anywhere on Earth.

You mean the authorities have
known about aliens all this time?

So since Roswell, all they've
been doing is lying to us?

Oh, Roswell was nothing.
Queen Victoria knew about aliens.

I bet she wasn't amused.
No, I don't believe she was.

Got it. Tunguska Scroll,
Section E - 4.6. Come on.

All quiet?

Sir.

THUD

This is it.

How beautiful!

DOORBELL RINGS

Sorry, this isn't a good time.

Luke!

Luke, it's attack
of the one-eyed squiddy things!

Something's happened!

They've found me! They will eat me
alive. Help me, I am your mother!

Security breach.
Show me the pictures, now!

Quick, we have to get out.

We have a security breach!

I can't hold it for much longer.
We have to escape.

The back way! What's she doing out?

We couldn't leave her.
They'd kill her.

OK, on three, run for it.
One...forget it, just run!

This is not good. Let's go back.

My sonic disruptor isn't working.

Containment vortex
must have drained its power.

Brigadier! Stay where you are, sir!

Stand down, Major Kilburne.
That's an order.

You're retired, Sir Alistair.
Have you forgotten?

Hands on your heads, all of you!

Major! Do as he says, Brigadier.

I have the situation secure. Aaagh!

I sonicked their earpieces.

Hold on. Stop that car!

At least I'll have the satisfaction
of giving you food poisoning!

Such perfect timing.

Do you have it,

the consciousness of Horath?

I have it hidden. It is safe.

Then soon, Sarah Jane Smith

shall lead us to Horath,
and make us emperors of the galaxy.

And she will crawl
before me as we crush her world.

Oh, the sweetness of revenge.

Kaagh is the consciousness
of Horath. He is the Bane's agent.

Give me the scroll. You alien
chaps never get the message.

Shall I destroy them now?
I'll come with you.

My boy.

You cannot escape!
It will be eliminated!

The age of Wormwood approaches!
