1. 13 Bannerman Road is
where Sarah Jane Smith lives,Copy !req
2. home to things
beyond your imagination.Copy !req
3. There's an extra-terrestrial
super computer in the wall,Copy !req
4. a genetically engineered
boy genius in the attic,Copy !req
5. a schoolgirl investigator
across the road.Copy !req
6. And a whole universe of adventure
right here on the doorstep.Copy !req
7. Ready?Copy !req
8. Always.Copy !req
9. Ashen Hill Manor is reputedly
one of the most hauntedCopy !req
10. locations in the UK.Copy !req
11. Ghosts do not exist.Copy !req
12. My children!Copy !req
13. Disappearances? Nobody said anything
about any disappearances.Copy !req
14. EMF readings throughout
the house are spiking.Copy !req
15. Something's happening. Aaaahhhh!
Where did she go?Copy !req
16. You crossed my threshold
of your own free willCopy !req
17. and now by my will you shall stay.Copy !req
18. You will never leave this place.Copy !req
19. You will be with me for eternity.Copy !req
20. Mr... Darkening?Copy !req
21. Good to meet you.
You're a legend. Really.Copy !req
22. But this is
a 'one night only' appearance.Copy !req
23. It's not like we're not tempted,
but we've got school on Monday...Copy !req
24. Ha ha ha ha!Copy !req
25. You crossed my threshold.Copy !req
26. In a single step
you left choice behind.Copy !req
27. Now you are in my world.Copy !req
28. Your world?
You need to get out more, mate.Copy !req
29. Er, sorry, you can't.
I forgot, you're a ghost.Copy !req
30. A ghost?Copy !req
31. Is that what you think I am?Copy !req
32. Child, there's no such thing
as ghosts.Copy !req
33. Oh, boy, this is worse
than The Sixth Sense.Copy !req
34. Are you in for a shock!Copy !req
35. You are mine.Copy !req
36. You will not have them. That's...Copy !req
37. Marchwood!Copy !req
38. It's a super-spook smackdown! Have
you not yet faded into the ether?Copy !req
39. Not while your shadow still stains
the walls of my family, wizard!Copy !req
40. We exist at different frequencies.Copy !req
41. You still cannot harm me, Marchwood.Copy !req
42. Run!Copy !req
43. You shall not escape me!Copy !req
44. No-one escapes me!Copy !req
45. How do we get out of here?
Just keep running.Copy !req
46. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!Copy !req
47. Come this way. Quickly.Copy !req
48. Oh, wow! Ghost boy.Copy !req
49. Who's here?Copy !req
50. Whoever you are,
whatever you are,Copy !req
51. I'm neither frightened of you,
nor here to hurt you.Copy !req
52. If you want to communicate,
I'm listening.Copy !req
53. Who's there?Copy !req
54. 'Sarah Jane! Help me!Copy !req
55. 'Sarah Jane! Help me!Copy !req
56. 'Sarah Jane! Help me!'
Professor Rivers?Copy !req
57. Celeste, is that you?
'Sarah Jane! Help me!Copy !req
58. 'Sarah Jane! Help me!'Copy !req
59. I will. I will help you, I promise.Copy !req
60. 'Sarah Jane! Help me!Copy !req
61. 'Sarah Jane! Help me!'Copy !req
62. He's coming for you!Copy !req
63. Professor Rivers.Copy !req
64. Oh! Sarah Jane!Copy !req
65. What on earth are you doing
in the fire place?Copy !req
66. We found Erasmus Darkening!
He seemed pretty lively for a ghost.Copy !req
67. He's not a ghost,
I've seen him, too.Copy !req
68. Whatever is going on
in this house,Copy !req
69. it is far more dangerous
than a haunting.Copy !req
70. There's this technology, ancient,Copy !req
71. but it shouldn't have been here
340 years ago! Show me.Copy !req
72. There's a secret passageway
in the control room.Copy !req
73. You must leave this place.Copy !req
74. Lord Marchwood!Copy !req
75. Hey, your lordship.Copy !req
76. Thanks for earlier.Copy !req
77. He helped us escape from Darkening.Copy !req
78. Yes, he saved me, too. Whatever
you do, don't go into the grounds.Copy !req
79. There's something out there.
There is still time.Copy !req
80. The creature needs time
to reassemble.Copy !req
81. We can't leave.
Not without our friend.Copy !req
82. Your friend is lost to Darkening.Copy !req
83. As is everyone who comes here.
As am I.Copy !req
84. As are my children.Copy !req
85. Your children helped us escape
out of the tunnel.Copy !req
86. You've seen Elizabeth and Joseph?
So have I.Copy !req
87. They're here? In this house?
They're looking for you.Copy !req
88. I have searched for over 300 years.Copy !req
89. Darkening says you exist
at different frequencies.Copy !req
90. So that's how he separated you
from your children.Copy !req
91. He is a curse upon my house.
Upon my family.Copy !req
92. He has taken the very land of my
ancestors and turned it against us.Copy !req
93. And I am responsible.Copy !req
94. You didn't die here, did you?Copy !req
95. Neither did your children.
No-one died here, did they?Copy !req
96. His curse is more than death itself.Copy !req
97. Miss Smith!Copy !req
98. You should see this.Copy !req
99. I was coming to look for you
and they were just... there.Copy !req
100. It's all the people
who've disappeared in the house.Copy !req
101. You poor, poor souls.Copy !req
102. Still say there's no such thing
as ghosts, Miss Smith?Copy !req
103. You said you wanted to help us.
I do.Copy !req
104. You're all trapped here?
He trapped us.Copy !req
105. Erasmus Darkening?Copy !req
106. He's as much a part of this house
as the bricks and mortar.Copy !req
107. He took my whole family away.Copy !req
108. Is anybody there?
Can anybody help me?Copy !req
109. What about Professor Rivers?
She hasn't been fully absorbed yet.Copy !req
110. Absorbed? By the house.Copy !req
111. There's still time to get her back.
Please. Help us all.Copy !req
112. Joseph and I, we miss our father,
we want him back.Copy !req
113. He's OK, we've seen him.Copy !req
114. Release us from this purgatory.Copy !req
115. What treachery is this?Copy !req
116. I grant to all life eternalCopy !req
117. and this is how you honour
my beneficence?Copy !req
118. Darkening, no!Copy !req
119. Be gone!Copy !req
120. What are you, Erasmus Darkening?Copy !req
121. I am lord of this placeCopy !req
122. and all who cross its threshold,Copy !req
123. and step into my dominion.Copy !req
124. I am Erasmus Darkening,
lord of magic!Copy !req
125. You really shouldn't believe
your own press.Copy !req
126. Maybe people believed in magicCopy !req
127. when you were conning Lord Marchwood
that you could make gold from lead,Copy !req
128. but not any more.Copy !req
129. Mmm.Copy !req
130. The passage of 340 years
has bequeathed humankindCopy !req
131. with a little more wisdom, I see.Copy !req
132. Are you saying you're not human?Copy !req
133. You're an alien?Copy !req
134. Alien? What are you talking about?
These are ghosts, not aliens.Copy !req
135. This is an emissary of the afterlife.Copy !req
136. Call me what you will.Copy !req
137. Know only that this is my world,Copy !req
138. that I rule all
who cross its threshold,Copy !req
139. and that this night...Copy !req
140. I will come for you all.Copy !req
141. Well, he knows how to leave you
wanting more, I'll give him that.Copy !req
142. So if he's responsible
for the Professor vanishing,Copy !req
143. why didn't he take us when
he had the chance?Copy !req
144. Because he's playing with us,
trying to scare us.Copy !req
145. We don't scare that easily.Copy !req
146. Listen to me, Darkening!Copy !req
147. I have fought the worst things from
the darkest corners of the universe.Copy !req
148. You don't stand a ghost of a chance!Copy !req
149. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!Copy !req
150. I'm not sure that was entirely wise.Copy !req
151. Come on. Show me how to get
to Darkening's chamber.Copy !req
152. Well, can't say
I'm looking forward to this.Copy !req
153. Hold on. If Darkening
catches us all in his lab,Copy !req
154. we're gonna be in trouble.
She's got a point.Copy !req
155. When he found us down there before,Copy !req
156. it wasn't exactly what you'd call
a magical moment.Copy !req
157. You need someone to keep him busy.Copy !req
158. No. It's out of the question.
It's far too dangerous.Copy !req
159. And all of us piling into
Darkening's lab isn't?Copy !req
160. Even a ghost can't be in two places
at one time. Not even an alien ghost!Copy !req
161. If me and Clyde
are keeping him busy,Copy !req
162. there's no way he can stop you
looking at that thing down there.Copy !req
163. The logic is undeniable.Copy !req
164. All right. But stay together.Copy !req
165. And, whatever you do,
don't go outside. OK.Copy !req
166. You be careful.
Don't worry about me.Copy !req
167. I've got Toby here.Copy !req
168. Come on.Copy !req
169. So how do you distract a ghost?Copy !req
170. You... find him
a pretty... ghoulfriend?Copy !req
171. Tell me, why are you so determined
to believe in the supernatural?Copy !req
172. You're a scientist.Copy !req
173. Your father was nominated
for the Nobel Prize for Physics.Copy !req
174. You must know it's nonsense.Copy !req
175. When I was six years old,
something used to come into my room.Copy !req
176. Something?Copy !req
177. Something grey, with no face.Copy !req
178. It stood and watched me, all night.Copy !req
179. And don't try to tell me
it was a dream, like my father did.Copy !req
180. I pleaded with him
to let me sleep in another room.Copy !req
181. I begged himCopy !req
182. and I cried,Copy !req
183. but he wouldn't let me.Copy !req
184. I've never forgiven him for that.Copy !req
185. It's OK.Copy !req
186. Hey, Darkening! Ssh!Copy !req
187. Where are you hiding?Copy !req
188. We've come to...Copy !req
189. bust you!Copy !req
190. Yeah, well, I'd feel
a whole lot better,Copy !req
191. if I was wearing a Ghostbusters
proton pack right now.Copy !req
192. Yeah. I know what you mean.Copy !req
193. They even made boiler suits look
cool.Copy !req
194. Talking of which,
is it getting cold in here?Copy !req
195. I thought that was just me.Copy !req
196. Sarah Jane would say
it's psychological.Copy !req
197. I suppose she is right, isn't she?
About ghosts.Copy !req
198. If Darkening is an alien,
I mean, he looks just like us.Copy !req
199. Some aliens are like us.Copy !req
200. The Doctor looked human.Copy !req
201. What was that?Copy !req
202. I don't know.Copy !req
203. Noisy neighbours?Copy !req
204. It's getting closer! Come on!Copy !req
205. I think it's following us!Copy !req
206. Something tells me
we're not alone in here.Copy !req
207. I think Darkening's got us
right where he wanted us.Copy !req
208. Yeah, we're snookered all right.Copy !req
209. Get down!Copy !req
210. We have to get out of here.Copy !req
211. No, no, wait! Not that way!Copy !req
212. Whatever chased us in here
is still out there!Copy !req
213. Oh, it's stuck! Come on, come on!Copy !req
214. Got it! Clyde!Copy !req
215. Look out!Copy !req
216. I'm never playing pool again!Copy !req
217. What was it Sarah Jane
said we shouldn't do?Copy !req
218. Whatever happened?Copy !req
219. Don't go outside.Copy !req
220. It's locked!Copy !req
221. Hey! Let us in!Copy !req
222. Sarah Jane's in the tunnels,
she can't hear you.Copy !req
223. What was that?Copy !req
224. Could just be a... fox.Copy !req
225. Or whatever Sarah Jane
said was out here.Copy !req
226. Come on!
There's got to be another way in.Copy !req
227. Nobody home.Copy !req
228. That's a good start.Copy !req
229. It's freezing.Copy !req
230. We're underground.Copy !req
231. What is that?Copy !req
232. Exactly what I expected,
alien technology.Copy !req
233. It's like a computer
built from brass and iron.Copy !req
234. I don't think it's a computer.Copy !req
235. I've seen something like it before.Copy !req
236. I think it's a trans-dimensional
accelerator.Copy !req
237. I don't understand.Copy !req
238. This entire house has been turned
into a portal to another galaxy.Copy !req
239. We're locked out!
With whatever attacked Sarah Jane.Copy !req
240. This is not good, Clyde.Copy !req
241. No. That's not good.Copy !req
242. Come on!Copy !req
243. The pavilion!Copy !req
244. It all makes sense.Copy !req
245. Erasmus Darkening is an alien.Copy !req
246. And over 300 years ago,
he was trapped here on Earth.Copy !req
247. So he pretended to be an alchemist,Copy !req
248. finding the secret of turning
the lead into gold?Copy !req
249. All the time he was building this -
a way to get home.Copy !req
250. It works by bending
one dimension over another,Copy !req
251. and opening a doorway through.
A portal.Copy !req
252. Professor Rivers has what...?
Gone through it?Copy !req
253. I think something went wrong
300 years ago,Copy !req
254. it's been malfunctioning
ever since.Copy !req
255. And Darkening's somehow manipulating
the accelerator's powers,Copy !req
256. he's channelling it.Copy !req
257. You're saying all these ghosts...Copy !req
258. Are living people?Copy !req
259. Trapped between dimensions.Copy !req
260. What happens if we turn it off?Copy !req
261. The disappearances will stop, but
those people will be lost for ever.Copy !req
262. Including Celeste Rivers.Copy !req
263. Quickly, Clyde.Copy !req
264. It's not exactly the Alamo.
I hope not. They got into the Alamo.Copy !req
265. Yeah. Well, it'll have to do.Copy !req
266. There was something in those bushes,
I'm sure.Copy !req
267. Tonight, it doesn't matter
what you shut out,Copy !req
268. you never know what you're
locking yourself in with. Great(!)Copy !req
269. Thanks for that thought. I'm sorry.Copy !req
270. I just hope we gave Sarah Jane
a chance to fixCopy !req
271. whatever's going on here.Copy !req
272. Is there some way of reversing it?Copy !req
273. Possibly.Copy !req
274. I've seen trans-dimensional
accelerators before.Copy !req
275. I travelled in something that used
the same principle for years.Copy !req
276. You did what?Copy !req
277. Oh, there are so many things
out there more excitingCopy !req
278. than ghost hunting, Toby.Copy !req
279. Who exactly are you?Copy !req
280. Nobody special.Copy !req
281. Wherever he is now,Copy !req
282. Erasmus Darkening must once have
been a very, very clever scientist.Copy !req
283. My mind is a colossus, Miss Smith.Copy !req
284. Time is meaningless to me.Copy !req
285. I have contemplated the mysteries,
the physics of the universe,Copy !req
286. of time, of life itself.Copy !req
287. Every being that has become part
of my dominion feeds my existence.Copy !req
288. You mean the accelerator is powered
by the lives of the people it takes.Copy !req
289. No-one dies here.
I thought you understood that.Copy !req
290. The accelerator's malfunction
transformed this houseCopy !req
291. into a gateway to eternity.Copy !req
292. It's not a gateway, it's a trap.Copy !req
293. You're using the accelerator
to steal life energyCopy !req
294. to give you immortality.Copy !req
295. And so you, you two
shall be taken unto me.Copy !req
296. No-one can escape the house.Copy !req
297. And it is a better fate than that
faced by your young friends.Copy !req
298. Clyde and Rani? Where are they?Copy !req
299. The accelerator was not
entirely successful,Copy !req
300. but it did open a gateway
for something.Copy !req
301. The creature outside!Copy !req
302. Oh, no, in the grounds.Copy !req
303. If there was anything out there,
I think it's gone.Copy !req
304. Maybe we should make a break for it?
Sarah Jane might need us. Yeah.Copy !req
305. What was that?Copy !req
306. There's something up there.Copy !req
307. Oh, that's it,
we're getting out of here.Copy !req
308. I reckon that's what Sarah Jane
was talking about.Copy !req
309. Well, at least it's polite.Copy !req
310. What is it?Copy !req
311. I don't know. But I'm pretty sure
it's not from round here.Copy !req
312. Clyde, it's gonna get in any minute.
We need a plan. No, not a plan.Copy !req
313. What we need are a couple of oars.Copy !req
314. Right. Whatever's out there,
it's not exactly bright, is it?Copy !req
315. I mean, it could get through
that door, no problem.Copy !req
316. You're right, we can take it.Copy !req
317. Whatever it is.Copy !req
318. Wherever it's from.Copy !req
319. It's him 'oar' us.Copy !req
320. Are you ready?Copy !req
321. Bring it on.Copy !req
322. What's going on?Copy !req
323. Time runs short.Copy !req
324. Oh, Sarah Jane. Oh, Rani!
Thank heavens you're all right.Copy !req
325. Lord Marchwood saved us,
and brought us back into the house.Copy !req
326. You are Lord Marchwood?Copy !req
327. Nothing dies in Darkening's dominion
and nothing lives.Copy !req
328. I have done what I could to save
people from this cursed houseCopy !req
329. and from Darkening's power.Copy !req
330. You tried to save us
by scaring us away?Copy !req
331. The poltergeist activity.
It was you?Copy !req
332. Look at these EMF readings.Copy !req
333. Wow, your lordship, you are smoking!Copy !req
334. If this was a seismometer
and you were a volcano,Copy !req
335. we'd all be running away
with our hair on fire.Copy !req
336. Let me look at that.
That's extraordinary.Copy !req
337. What is this sorcerer's box?Copy !req
338. Oh, this isn't sorcery,
this is science.Copy !req
339. That's right. It's given me an idea
how we can defeat Darkening.Copy !req
340. But, Lord Marchwood,
we're going to need your help.Copy !req
341. I have brought this curse
upon my house, and my family.Copy !req
342. I would do anything to lift it.Copy !req
343. Toby, how much electrical cabling
do you have?Copy !req
344. Darkening!Copy !req
345. Hear me, magician!Copy !req
346. The curse you have cast
upon this house ends tonight.Copy !req
347. For over 300 years
I have sought my childrenCopy !req
348. and watched you take
soul after soul.Copy !req
349. But no more!Copy !req
350. And you will stop me?Copy !req
351. Was it not you, Marchwood, that
brought all this upon your house?Copy !req
352. It was your hand that took
innocent people from the village,Copy !req
353. and cast them into whatever
infernal place they went,Copy !req
354. your hand that took
Elizabeth and Joseph.Copy !req
355. My children!Copy !req
356. It was your hand
that sought to strike meCopy !req
357. and take my life
and founded my dominion.Copy !req
358. You attacked me,
you damaged my device.Copy !req
359. You caused all
that has happened here.Copy !req
360. You took my children.Copy !req
361. I wanted only to return home.Copy !req
362. But you stopped my experiments.Copy !req
363. Lord Marchwood has to get DarkeningCopy !req
364. to step into
the electro-magnetic field.Copy !req
365. You took innocent peopleCopy !req
366. and despatched their living souls
to the netherworld.Copy !req
367. But tonight I end this curse.Copy !req
368. Energy can neither be created
or destroyed, only changed.Copy !req
369. Every time Lord Marchwood attacked
that creature outsideCopy !req
370. he absorbed its energy.Copy !req
371. That's why the EMF meter spiked.Copy !req
372. The electricity creates
its own magnetic field.Copy !req
373. It will trap Darkening and absorb
him. Turn him into electricity?Copy !req
374. But he has to step into our trap.
What about Marchwood?Copy !req
375. If he's in it, he'll be destroyed.Copy !req
376. Meet me, Darkening.Copy !req
377. You cannot harm me, Marchwood.Copy !req
378. Then meet me.Copy !req
379. I know that you are not a man.Copy !req
380. But perhaps just this once,
act like one.Copy !req
381. Ha ha ha ha ha!Copy !req
382. Did you think I would be
so easily vanquished, Miss Smith?Copy !req
383. I told you,
my intellect is a colossus.Copy !req
384. How could you think I would not see
through so transparent a stratagem?Copy !req
385. You disappoint me, Sarah Jane Smith.Copy !req
386. I never like to disappoint.Copy !req
387. Get back!Copy !req
388. Eternity!Copy !req
389. I have lost eternity-y-y-y-y-y-y!Copy !req
390. Are you all right?Copy !req
391. I'm fine, thank you.Copy !req
392. Darkening, has he gone?Copy !req
393. I think so.Copy !req
394. The magnetic field blew his fuse.Copy !req
395. That's the trouble with having
a colossal intellect,Copy !req
396. you think you're cleverer
than everyone else,Copy !req
397. never consider what other people
might be hiding up their sleeves.Copy !req
398. Lord Marchwood and his children,
have they gone? Professor Rivers?Copy !req
399. What have you done
with my equipment?Copy !req
400. Do you have any idea how much
this equipment is worth?Copy !req
401. I know, Professor. I'm sorry.Copy !req
402. We have just witnessed the most
amazing phenomena in this houseCopy !req
403. and do we have any record of it?
No.Copy !req
404. But, Professor,
it wasn't paranormal, it was alien.Copy !req
405. I give up. I give up.Copy !req
406. The accelerator was synchronised
with Darkening's energies.Copy !req
407. When the magnetic field
destroyed him, it overloaded,Copy !req
408. sending Professor Rivers back.Copy !req
409. But what about all the others?Copy !req
410. They wanted to be released.
At least their nightmare is over.Copy !req
411. Well, I can't leave Darkening's
