[Lab 2A]

CLYDE: Run.

[Control room]

BLAKEMAN: Come on, boy. Don't you want a closer look?
(Blakeman lunges for Luke, who dodges and runs out of the secret room.)

[Coldfire Construction]

(Slitheen Janine has got Sarah Jane within reach.)
SARAH JANE: Good sense of smell, have you?
JANINE: Oh, yes best nostrils in the galaxy, official.
SARAH JANE: And you like my perfume?
JANINE: Lovely.
SARAH JANE: Then sniff this.
(Sarah Jane sprays Janine's face with the contents of the bottle in her handbag, then smashes it on the floor. Janine screams with pain as Sarah Jane runs to the door, sonicks it open and drives off.)

[Tech block]

LUKE: I've found a secret room.
MARIA: Not now.
(The automatic doors to the block won't open.)
MARIA: Get it open.
CLYDE: It's locked.
LUKE: That thing's real, isn't it?
CLYDE: It's real.
CARL [OC]: This place is sealed. You're finished, right here, right now.
MARIA: This way.
(Maria runs past Carl. The boys head up the stairs.)
CLYDE: Maria!
LUKE: Hurry up!

[Car]

(Sarah Jane makes a hands-free call.)
SARAH JANE: Luke?
LUKE [OC]: Sarah Jane.
SARAH JANE: I was wrong. It is aliens.

[Tech block]

LUKE: Yeah, I know.
(He holds the phone out for her to hear Jeffery Slitheen roaring.)
SARAH JANE: Right, listen.
LUKE: She said make a smell. Make a big enough smell and you'll get away.
CLYDE: What'll we do, fart our way out?
LUKE: Would that be funny?
CLYDE: What?
JEFFERY [OC]: Come out, little ones.
CARL [OC]: They're nearby, Daddy. I can smell you.
CLYDE: A strong smell, think.
LUKE: A skunk?
(Luke takes an aerosol deodorant from his rucksack.)
CLYDE: Yes.
LUKE: Wolverine. Pure masculine action.
(The Slitheen come round the corner and get facefuls of perfumed spray. They stop, coughing.)
CLYDE: Go, go, go!
(Luke and Clyde run downstairs as Sarah Jane drives up outside.)
TIM: Hunt them.
MARIA: Wait for me.
LUKE: Sarah Jane!
MARIA: Come on, Sarah Jane!
LUKE: Sarah Jane.
MARIA: Sarah Jane.
(Sarah Jane sonicks the doors open with her lipstick.)
SARAH JANE: Into the car.
CLYDE: Come on, hurry.
(She sonicks the door locked again just as Blakeman and the Slitheen arrive.)

[Playground]

CLYDE: What's that?
LUKE: Sonic lipstick.
CLYDE: Oh, of course.
SARAH JANE: What is he doing here?
MARIA: Sorry.
SARAH JANE: Someone else's life in my hands. Just what I needed.

[Tech block]

JEFFERY: They're getting away.
CARL: That's not fair, Daddy. That woman cheated. I want my hunt.
JEFFERY: Come here.
BLAKEMAN: 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?
JEFFERY: The galactic police. She could be one of their agents.
BLAKEMAN: No, she's human. She smelt soupy. They all do. Still, if that's her only weapon, she's no big deal.
CARL: Daddy, I want my hunt.
JEFFERY: You'll have your hunt later, I promise. Tonight's the night the lights go out.

[Outside Sarah Jane's house]

CLYDE: I want answers. I've just been chased by aliens and you aren't even freaking out. Why? Who are you?
MARIA: You've got to go home. Forget this ever happened. Go home.
CLYDE: No, I'm part of this now. I want to find out the truth. What's in there and who's that woman?
MARIA: Just leave us alone, okay?
CLYDE: The police won't leave you alone when call them and tell them what happened. Show me.
MARIA: Okay.

[Tech block]

BLAKEMAN: At last. We've waited so long for this moment.
JEFFERY: Times have been hard.
BLAKEMAN: 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.
JEFFERY: When we have the money, what then?
BLAKEMAN: 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.

[Attic]

(Sarah Jane is reading from her tiny wrist computer screen.)
SARAH JANE: The inhabitants of Raxa, Raxa. Oh.
LUKE: Raxacoricofallapatorius.
SARAH JANE: The outcast Slitheen Family are scavengers, thieves of others technology. Known to infiltrate low-tech planets by hiding in the skins of the dominant native species. Slitheen in Downing Street.
LUKE: What?
SARAH JANE: Something a friend said once. Gas exchange from skin compression often results in
LUKE: Farting. Farting's funny.
(Clyde and Maria enter.)
CLYDE: Right, what's going on in here? 
SARAH Why don't you bring all your friends round. The whole school.
MARIA: If he tells anyone, who's going to believe him?
CLYDE: Whoa, wait. I've just had monsters from outer space on my back and no one's me what's going on.
SARAH JANE: Shut up for the minute, will you. I'm busy, and right now you're not important. Even if it is getting like Clapham Junction up here. Right. The Slitheen must have taken over Coldfire Construction, put up buildings all around the world. Why?
LUKE: I think know. There's a hidden room in the school. I saw inside.
MARIA: What's in there?
LUKE: I've got a theory. Mister Smith could help.
CLYDE: Who's that, your dad?
SARAH JANE: Mister Smith, I need you.
(The brick fireplace cracks open to reveal the supercomputer.)
MR SMITH: Good afternoon, Sarah Jane.
CLYDE: Oh, yes. Is that a computer?
MR SMITH: Who's that?'
SARAH JANE: Nobody. Mister Smith, Luke would like some help.
MR SMITH: Certainly. Hello, Luke.
LUKE: Hello, Mister Smith. Bring up our satellite image of London. Now plot the exact positions of every school put up by Coldfire Construction. Ealing, that's us.
SARAH JANE: St Cheldon's Comp, Upminster. Schools at Epping, Amersham, Richmond, Morden.
CLYDE: 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.
SARAH JANE: Mister Smith, plot the position of every Coldfire building put up in the last eighteen months in the world.
MR SMITH: Accessing.
SARAH JANE: Paris, Sydney, Beijing. They're not all capital cities, they're spread out all over the place. They look pretty random. I know. Underground railways. They've all got underground railways.
CLYDE: You don't have to thank me.
SARAH JANE: Link them.
MR SMITH: London, Barcelona, Washington DC, Santiago, Los Angeles, Sydney, Beijing, Moscow, Naples, Paris.
LUKE: There's at least one Slitheen at every site.
CLYDE: And there are ten cities. Ten sites. Right, call the army.
MARIA: Oh right, because that always makes things better, doesn't it.
CLYDE: It's not your job.
SARAH JANE: There's a cleverer way of going about things. But what's it all for? What are they doing? The secret room, what was in there?
LUKE: Sarah Jane. I've done something really stupid. A really bad social mistake. I told the Slitheen how to destroy the world.

[Control room]

BLAKEMAN: 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?

[Attic]

LUKE: It wasn't working until I gave them the answers.
SARAH JANE: Oh, Luke.
LUKE: The power cut last night was a test run.
MARIA: But our candles went out and that's not electric.
MR SMITH: '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.
MARIA: But what has underground railways got to do with that?
SARAH JANE: The system must generate enormous heat. The underground railways must act as a cooling system.
CLYDE: Oh, I'm glad we sorted that out.
SARAH JANE: People getting ill, food going off, that's the effect of living or working next to the capacitors.
MR SMITH: Indeed. Even on standby, the transducers would cause cellular decay in organic matter.
LUKE: With this system they can drain every last drop of energy from the Earth. Our school's the last link in the chain.
MARIA: But it needs the whole chain all together to do that?
LUKE: Yeah.
CLYDE: We bomb the school?
SARAH JANE: If we could get in there, could you destroy the power system safely?
LUKE: I think so. If we reset the system, shut it down for just a second. I'd need a cutting tool.
SARAH JANE: What about this?
(The sonic lipstick.)
MARIA: Yeah, and how do we get past the Slitheen?
CLYDE: We bomb them?
MR SMITH: Sarah Jane, I've just picked up this report on an American news channel.
AMNN: Breaking news. There's a massive loss of power on the west coast of North America. Los Angeles has gone dark.
SARAH JANE: It's starting.
LUKE: And I told them how to do it. The day I was born I saved the world. Now I've helped to destroy it.

[Control room]

JEFFERY: It works.
BLAKEMAN: Section one down. Grazie, Napoli. Thank you. Moving to Section two. Hello, Washington DC.
USA [OC]: Howdy, London.
BLAKEMAN: Connect.

[Attic]

SARAH JANE: Mister Smith, give me everything you've got on the inhabitants of
LUKE: Raxacoricofallapatorius.
CLYDE: You're making that up.
SARAH JANE: Any weaknesses. Anything we can use to fight them.
MR SMITH: Accessing.
MARIA: Anybody could have made that mistake.
CLYDE: No, only he could.
MARIA: Clyde!
CLYDE: Well, duh. Let's have a High School Musical moment. A group hug'll sort everything out.
LUKE: You're right. As if a teacher could have worked out that diagram.
AMNN: And the power loss is spreading westwards. China is now without power, and it may be only a matter of time before the effect spreads here. Oh.
MR SMITH: I have lost the signal.
SARAH JANE: Anything on the Slitheen yet?
MR SMITH: Accessing.
MARIA: Come on!

[Control room]

BLAKEMAN: Section nine, clear. Dormez bien, Paris.
JEFFERY: That makes us next.
BLAKEMAN: So, synchronise the mega-wattage.
JEFFERY: Er
BLAKEMAN: Oh, for the love of Clom.

[Attic]

SARAH JANE: Mister Smith does like to take his time.
MARIA: Come on.
MR SMITH: Raxacoricofallapatorians. Calcium-based life-forms.
MARIA: Give us the weaknesses.
MR SMITH: Weaknesses. They are a naturally hardy race. However, their bodies are notoriously hyper-sensitive to
(The power goes out.)
MARIA: No!

[Jackson home]

RADIO [OC]: The Prime Minister has promised the blackouts will not affect the UK.
(The power goes out.)
ALAN: Thank you, Prime Minister.

[Attic]

SARAH JANE: We can't stop them without the sonic lipstick.
CLYDE: It's real. The end of the world, thanks to him.
MARIA: Will you shut up.
SARAH JANE: No Mister 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.

[Hallway]

CLYDE: Without the sonic thing we can't stop them. Plus they'll get us before we even reach there.
SARAH JANE: If you can't say anything useful, go home.
CLYDE: Wait. This morning, Jeffery, the Slitheen Jeffrey, he went mad when he nicked my bag.
MARIA: So?
CLYDE: What's a Slitheen gonna care about that? You saw him. He sniffed it. He was scared.
SARAH JANE: What was in your bag?
CLYDE: My books, some Tangfastics, and my lunch.
SARAH JANE: Well, what was in your lunch?
CLYDE: Cold chip sandwich. I made it this morning. I wasn't going to eat anything from the canteen of death.
MARIA: So what, the Slitheen are allergic to potato? Bread? Butter?
SARAH JANE: No, no, no. The Slitheen in the office, she was eating a sandwich. What was on those chips?
CLYDE: Just salt and vinegar.
MARIA: Salt. Must be it.
LUKE: If the Slitheen are made mostly of water, it would dehydrate them, like slugs.
CLYDE: No, they put extra salt in everything. Bread, butter. It's got to be something else. It's got to be the vinegar.
LUKE: Vinegar, that's acetic acid. It reacts with calcium.
CLYDE: Slitheen are made of calcium. I'm right. It's the vinegar.
SARAH JANE: Kitchen!

[Kitchen]

CLYDE: So what are we going to do, just stand there and throw pickled eggs at them?
SARAH JANE: Get it all into these.
CLYDE: I was joking.
(All the vinegar in the house is decanted into spray containers.)
MARIA: The car's not going to start. How do we get back to school?
SARAH JANE: We run.

[Control room]

BLAKEMAN: The capacitors are charged. Time for the coup de grace. The denouement.
CARL: Daddy, you promised I could do it.
JEFFERY: It's appropriate, don't you think? We are doing this for our children.
BLAKEMAN: Yes. A new beginning for a new generation of Slitheen. Go ahead, lad. Turn out the sun.
(Carl pulls the big lever.)

[Street]

MAN: The car just stopped. Engine's dead. They're all dead.
CLYDE: Right, so all this fighting aliens stuff, you've been doing it for years?
SARAH JANE: Not now, Clyde.
CLYDE: What, did you actually go up to the career guy at school and say, I want to defend the planet from alien invaders?
SARAH JANE: Not exactly.
CLYDE: What happened? How did it start?
SARAH JANE: It's a long story. If we survive, I'll be happy to tell you.
(Then it suddenly gets dark.)
CLYDE: What's going on?
LUKE: It's transduction, like the candles.
MARIA: They've switched off the sun.
SARAH JANE: They're draining its power.
MARIA: It's getting cold.
LUKE: We've got about thirty two and a half minutes.
CLYDE: Everyone's gonna die.
SARAH JANE: I told you, we're going to stop them.
CLYDE: What, the four of us with vinegar in plastic squeezies?

[Outside the Jackson home]

(Ex-wife Chrissie hammers on the door.)
CHRISSIE: Alan, where's Maria?
ALAN: She's at her mate's, I think.
CHRISSIE: You think? This is the end of the world.
ALAN: It's a power cut, Chrissie. It was on the news. I don't know, the nights are drawing in and you think it's the end of the world.
CHRISSIE: Look out there. The sun's blue, it's freezing. Where is Maria? Where is she?

[Control room]

(Carl spots them on the CCTV.)
CARL: Daddy, she's come back.
BLAKEMAN: So what? She's an old woman with a funny lipstick. End of.
CARL: My hunt!
BLAKEMAN: Uh huh. I think an adult'd better deal with them this time.
(Blakeman unzips his forehead.)

[Tech block]

CLYDE: They just let us walk in here.
LUKE: They want us here.
SARAH JANE: Well, what luck, because we want to be in here. The secret room?
LUKE: It's this way.
BLAKEMAN: Oh, human children. The stench of Haribo and chicken nuggets.
SARAH JANE: Get off this planet.
BLAKEMAN: Hush 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.
CLYDE: The what?
BLAKE: They're sort of like giant squirrels. We killed them all centuries ago, but the hunting instinct remains.
SARAH JANE: Now!
(Blakeman gets sprayed with vinegar.)
CLYDE: Didn't like that, did you?
MARIA: Vinegar. Get back.
LUKE: Sarah Jane, this way.
SARAH JANE: Maria?
MARIA: It's working. We're doing our bit, you do yours.
CLYDE: One step further.
(The nozzle is blocked. Blakeman lunges for them.)
MARIA: Keep back.
BLAKEMAN: 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.
(Maria pulls the top off the spray bottle and throws the vinegar into his face.)
BLAKEMAN: Oops.
(And goes Splat! all over the place.)
CLYDE: Oh, great.
MARIA: I did it. I exploded the Headmaster.

[Control room]

JEFFERY: One of the Family. Something's wrong.
CARL: Daddy, look.
JEFFERY: 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.
CARL: Daddy.
JEFFERY: Everything's going to be all right.
(The rest of the family beam in, wearing their skin suits.)
JEFFERY: They're here.

[Tech block]

LUKE: In here.

[Control room]

JEFFERY: And so are our uninvited guests.
(Janine grabs Sarah Jane, and a black man grabs Luke.)
JEFFERY: 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.
JANINE: And then a spacecraft picks us up and we sell everything we've collected.
SARAH JANE: Why are you doing this?
JANINE: The Family came here once before, just a routine job, but they never came back.
SARAH JANE: I think I might know what happened. Who happened.
JEFFERY: This planet will pay in blood. They were our Family.
SARAH JANE: And Luke is mine.
JEFFERY: This will give us a new beginning. My son won't have to live like I've had to, cringing in the darkness.
SARAH JANE: And I want my son to live, to grow up. I want what's best for him.
JEFFERY: Your stupid son gave us what we needed.
LUKE: I didn't!
JEFFERY: What?
LUKE: 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 was going to steal power from the sun. It'll explode.
JANINE: It's a bluff.
LUKE: What's a bluff? 
JEFFERY: Florm?
JANINE: Well, the boy might be right.
(Bang!)
SARAH JANE: It's happening. Turn it off.
CLYDE: You heard her, turn it off. There's vinegar in this.
JANINE: Water. That's a bluff.
MARIA: I knew that wouldn't work.
JEFFERY: If I reset the system, you can cancel the overload, make it safe?
LUKE: Yes.
JEFFERY: Right. Son, reset the system.
(Carl pushes the big lever back. The sun brightens up again.)
LUKE: It's reset. The system's off. Now I just have to synchronise the mega-wattage. Now!
(Sarah, Maria and Clyde free themselves.)
CARL: Daddy.
LUKE: Mum!
SARAH JANE: Luke!
(Sarah Jane throws the sonic lipstick to Luke.)
JEFFERY: Get him!
(The Slitheen chase Luke through the machinery. He manages to cut some wires with the lipstick.)
JANINE: It's going to blow up.
SARAH JANE: Out, now!
JEFFERY: It's out of control.
JANINE: Wait for me.
(The rest of the Slitheen beam out. Janine gets caught in an electric field and blows up.)
JEFFERY: Resynchronise the mega-wattage. Quickly, we've got to get out of here.

[Tech block]

(The door closes on Jeffery and Carl, trapping them.)
JEFFERY: You can't leave us in here. Use your sonic device, open the door. Open the door!
CARL: I'm only twelve.
JEFFERY: He's my son. Please, let him live.
SARAH JANE: Luke.
CLYDE: You can't let them out.
(But before Sarah Jane can act, the energy buildup disintegrates Jeffery, then Carl explodes and the door closes. The lights come back on.)
LUKE: It burnt itself out.
CLYDE: We did it.
SARAH JANE: He was a child, twelve years old.
CLYDE: It was them or us.

[Bannerman Road]

CLYDE: Some of the Slitheen got away, I saw them vanish.
LUKE: The machine's useless now. We broke the chain.
MARIA: Except there's buildings round the world with secret rooms and all that alien machinery inside.
(Sarah Jane finishes a phone call.)
SARAH JANE: Bye now. Love to the Brig. Just sorted that. Some friends of mine are going to clear it all up.
MARIA: Friends from UNIT?
SARAH JANE: Ah ha.
CLYDE: What's UNIT, a furniture shop?
CHRISSIE: Where were you? Come here. Oh, where've you been?
MARIA: We just went up town, grabbed some burgers.
CHRISSIE: The power went off. I was so worried.
ALAN: Now it's back on.
CHRISSIE: Oh, Sally Anne, bless you for looking after my Maria. My head was full of terrible things that could have happened.
ALAN: Okay, where have you really been?
MARIA: What do you mean?
ALAN: Such a useless liar.
CHRISSIE: Oh, 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.

[Jackson home]

ALAN: I was just going to make tea. Are you staying?
CHRISSIE: Er, don't tell me. Tuesday, Spanish omelette.
ALAN: As it happens.
CHRISSIE: So predictable. Go on then, twist my arm. Just this once, I'll suffer your cooking.
MARIA: That's brilliant.
CHRISSIE: Oh, sweetheart. I may not live here, but at least I'm still looking after you.
ALAN: Right, because I'm so useless.
CHRISSIE: You are. The sun went out and you lost her. She was off gallivanting with Suzie Q.
ALAN: Sarah Jane. Her name is Sarah Jane.
CHRISSIE: Oh, whatever. Sarah Jane. Tell you what, though. Funny things have been happening ever since you moved in here. I'm beginning to get suspicious.
MARIA: Suspicious of what?
CHRISSIE: 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're running 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?
MARIA: I don't know.
CHRISSIE: Me. It's all happening to me. I just can't move for disasters. It's like I'm cursed.
(Maria hugs Chrissie.)
CHRISSIE: What's that for, sweetheart?
MARIA: It's because you're cursed.

[Lounge]

SARAH JANE: Here's your reward, a nice cuppa. Oh,do you mind? Just make sure you put that back where it belongs.
CLYDE: Is this from outer space?
SARAH JANE: No, Venezuela. You ask too many questions, Clyde.
CLYDE: Too late to stop me now.
SARAH JANE: I suppose. That's how I got started, asking questions.
CLYDE: But you never told me. How did you discover all this stuff, aliens and things?
SARAH JANE: I met this man called the Doctor. He was an alien, too.
CLYDE: What, like a big green thing?
SARAH JANE: 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.
CLYDE: You travelled through space?
SARAH JANE: And time. I saw planets and galaxies and all sorts of creatures, things you would never imagine.
CLYDE: So where is he now, then, this Doctor?
SARAH JANE: 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.
CLYDE: He sounds cool.
SARAH JANE: Cool? Yeah.
CLYDE: So, are you going to see him again?
SARAH JANE: I hope so. The thing is, Clyde, you can't tell anyone about all these things. It's got to be our secret. Can I trust you?
CLYDE: Yeah. Promise.
SARAH JANE: Thank you.
LUKE [OC]: Sarah Jane, Maria's here.
SARAH JANE: Coming.
CLYDE: He's gone back to calling you Sarah Jane? It should be Mum.
SARAH JANE: Do you think?
CLYDE: Yeah, tell him.
SARAH JANE: Yeah, I don't know how.

[Attic]

MR SMITH: Diagnostic checks completed. All systems are functioning normally.
CLYDE: All right. While they're downstairs, where are you from?
MR SMITH: All systems are functioning normally.
CLYDE: Who built you?
MR SMITH: All systems are functioning normally. Beware your curiosity, boy.
(Mister Smith gives Clyde a small electric shock, and chuckles.)
MARIA: Freak weather conditions?
LUKE: Temporary reversals of the Earth's magnetic poles.
SARAH JANE: That's the one. Mister Smith, start a rumour. Insert the words temporary reversal of the Earth's magnetic poles into media reports.
MR SMITH: Confirmed.
CLYDE: I can't believe we can't tell anyone. I should get millions for what I did today.
MARIA: We all did it.
CLYDE: But who worked out the vinegar? Thank you, Clyde Langer.
MARIA: I'll walk you to the bus stop.
CLYDE: You were right. This is great. Weird, but great. And you lot need me. I can't believe you were going to save those Slitheen. They tried to destroy the entire planet. Billions of people. What was the big dilemma?
MARIA: Bus stop.
CLYDE: You were good. And if anyone says you're not cool, I'll set them right.
(Clyde shakes hands with Luke then leaves with Maria.)
SARAH JANE: He's right. Oh, you were amazing. Again.
LUKE: I nearly destroyed everything. I messed up.
SARAH JANE: 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.
LUKE: But I'm still here. Always will be. Mum.
