Sarah Jane Smith lives.
It's home to things way beyond your imagination.
There's an extra-terrestrial super computer in the wall.
Her son, a genetically engineered boy genius.
A schoolgirl investigator across the road.
And a whole universe of adventure right here on the doorstep.
Ready? Always.
The world's going to end and it's my fault.
Four A*s.
I'm going to Oxford! I had a nightmare.
What? I thought you couldn't dream.
What do you want? Your nightmares are giving me such power.
One more little nightmare from you and I will be in your world.
He's the Nightmare Man and I can't stop him.
I'm real.
I'm here.
Mum! Where am I? Please.
Sleep tight, Lukey-boy.
HE CACKLES Mum! Eeney-meeney, miny-mo, catch a tiger by the toe, if he squeals let him go, eeney-meeney, miny Mo.
Oh, what sweet dreams! Soon change that.
He's such a lightweight.
Oh, Clyde! Our world has always been full of nightmares, creatures and aliens who want to destroy us.
'You're watching the BBC News and I'm Louise Marlowe.
'Later, we'll be looking at how the continuing rise in house prices 'has increased the number of families 'choosing to live in rented accommodation.
'But first, questions were asked in Parliament today.
'Oh, that's nice.
' 'No, no, no.
Go ahead.
Switch me off.
' 'I'm talking to you, Rani.
' Didn't your mother ever tell you not to sit so close to the screen? How are you doing that? No! Agh! No! But I need more.
I need so much more.
SNORING Hello.
Stop snoring.
RINGING It's the Nightmare Man and I can't stop him.
Mum, I'm sorry.
That's why I tried so hard to stay awake.
No.
Please.
No! Luke.
Come on, Luke, wake up.
It's Mum, please! Come on, please! Wake up, please.
Mr Smith, I need you! Come on, please! WAKE UP! K9! K9, where are you? Approaching, mistress! LAUGHTER My sensors indicate Master Luke is asleep, mistress.
I know that, K9.
I'm scanning the alien's face, Luke's Nightmare Man is a Vishclar from the Saretti dimension.
That creature stopped Luke telling us about him but Luke's clever.
He didn't record that video because he was scared but because he knew we'd find it, and he knew we'd save him! You still serving burgers? I always knew you were a stupid boy.
Sarah Jane? We've got to find a way to talk to him.
Remember that sentient concrete disguised as the Chiswick flyover? She was using this to control people.
If we can What is it, Mistress? Clyde and Rani.
Oh! Clyde! Rani! Clyde? Rani? Rani? Rani! Clyde, come on, please! Clyde! Rani! What are you? Breaking news, Rani.
I need you.
Er, what do you mean? I shouldn't be here! I don't know what I'm doing.
You are a journalist, aren't you? Go easy on the sauce.
I don't get it, where's Luke? Oh, he's such a clever boy.
He's working for the Government now.
Says he's going to be an astronaut.
I went to space once.
Yeah, with the Doctor.
Oh, I told you? I get confused.
The social reckon I'm losing it.
They want to put me in a home! I said, I've got a home, thank you.
What am I meant to say? Um! Her name is Sarah Jane?! You and me, Rani.
We're going to tell everyone who she is.
We're going to destroy Sarah Jane Smith.
I can't wake them up.
The sentient concrete, we must wake Luke first.
Correct, Mr Smith.
Could you use this, K9, to talk to Luke? Affirmative.
Working.
Master Luke, can you hear me? Master Luke? I regret I have insufficient power.
Perhaps I can help.
If I were to connect to K9, I could boost his energy levels.
Oh, what do you need, Mr Smith? I've stuff from planets across the universe.
Mind control devices, alien plants.
Just tell me what you need.
I need a USB lead, Sarah Jane.
ECHOEY, MANIACAL LAUGHTER It isn't real.
It isn't real.
This is just a stupid dream! Nightmare Man! HE LAUGHS EVILLY Nightmare Man! Can you hear me? Your mind is so strong, Luke, echoing across the dimensions.
Come back and face me! Mmm.
no.
What's the matter? Are you scared? I'm just happy.
You've taken my place.
I've taken yours.
You've made the monster real, Lukey.
Come back! NIGHTMARE MAN CACKLES Ready? Maximum energy to K9.
Engaging.
Approaching full energy transfer mode.
I can't stop him.
I can't.
It's just me.
WHIRRING Negative, Master Luke.
It is never just you.
How did you get here? Did Mum send you? Affirmative.
She wanted me to tell you that this is a dream and that you need to wake up.
I know, K9.
I've tried, but I can't.
MUFFLED BEEPING AND WHIRRING Mr Smith? The dog is communicating with Luke.
BEEPING I wish Clyde and Rani were here, K9.
They always know what to do.
Master Clyde and Mistress Rani are asleep.
Your mother cannot wake them.
So he's got them? On air in 60 seconds.
Why do you want to destroy Sarah Jane? Why do you think? The woman's a menace to society.
What are you on about? She saves the world! At what cost, Rani? You, Clyde, her own son.
How many times has she put you at risk? It's not like that.
Answer! How many times have you nearly died because of her? I don't know.
You're just a child, Rani.
It's not your fault.
If we don't expose her, she'll get you killed.
She has given me a better life.
She's my friend.
Oh, grow up! If you're going to be a journalist you'll need to stop worrying about peoples' feelings.
Don't you want to be a journalist? Yes.
Then there's nothing wrong with us telling the world.
The public have a right to know, Rani.
And it's your responsibility as a journalist to tell them.
And on air in five, four I don't want this.
I was doing my art.
I was good at it, wasn't I? Oh, you are sweet.
Stupid, but sweet.
I'm not stupid.
You were never as good as my Luke.
That's why you ended up here.
You'd never say that.
What do you mean, dear? This isn't a burger bar.
These aren't real burgers, and you, you're not the real Sarah Jane.
Oh, Clyde.
There's no way out.
HE LAUGHS EVILLY Oh, the nightmares! So many nightmares for me to feast on! I'm Louise Marlowe.
And I'm .

Nightmares, so many nightmares! I'm having the nightmare and I'm here.
Maybe they are as well? Clyde! Can you hear me? Rani? Rani.
Luke? Is that you? It's not real.
It's just a nightmare.
Stay with me, Rani.
I can't wake up! I can't stop it! Just read the news! Luke! How do I get out of here? She needs a door, Master Luke.
That's it! Clyde! Clyde, can you hear me? Clyde? Luke? Oh, thank God! Where are you? I'm going to get you out of there.
Hold on.
Both of you listen.
I'm in a corridor, and there's loads of doors.
I need you to concentrate.
Imagine there's a door.
And I'm on the other side of it.
Where are you? Rani? Clyde? We're in different nightmares, but we're talking to each other? Think of a classroom door! Like the ones at school.
You've got to imagine it.
Do you understand? A red door, imagine a red door, come on! You can do it, I know you can.
Focus.
Keep focusing on the door.
Focus! It's working! I've done it! Breaking news, Rani.
Luke's leaving you.
He's got his A-levels and he's going to uni.
He's leaving you behind.
I know! Then why do you do what he tells you to? Stay with me, Rani, be a journalist.
I'll give you everything you ever wanted.
Stay here.
You made a door appear! You could make money, gold, everything you've ever wanted.

We did it! What? No.
No, that isn't possible! Ah! They're together! Are we Are we all having the same dream? That's impossible.
That's amazing! I guess we're just that good.
Butwhere are we? Mr Smith told K9 about this different dimension.
It's where our minds go when we dream.
Reminder, we need to defeat the Nightmare Man.
The what? Bad dog! K9! No help for you, Sarah Jane Smith.
You must be alone, with a little hint of moonlight on your face.
Here, boy! Something must have happened to the real K9.
Mum.
Hey, she'll be OK.
She's brilliant, your mum.
You haven't seen him, Rani.
You don't know what he's like.
Good to meet you at last.
You know me? I feed on every nightmare that every man, woman and child has ever had.
And you have had so many.
Oh, the things you have seen.
And Luke, your fear about what might happen to him.
And the dreams about the Doctor, when he never came back and you thought he was dead.
Oh, they were good! I'm not scared of you.
What's wrong? Not used to someone arguing back? What's the matter? If you're so strong, send me to sleep.
You want to have nightmares? You've already taken my son.
My friends.
This is already a nightmare! What else have I got live for? Oh, come on, do it! You think if I send you to sleep, you'll be able to join Luke.
Oh, and I almost fell for it.
So, what do we do? I-I don't know.
It's OK, we're here.

And you two are going to suffer! You're just an alien.
We can stop you.
You're nothing.
You're pathetic children, scared of the dark.
Scared of me.
Luke! Do something! You're going back into your nightmares.
Get away from us! And you're going to be locked in them forever.
Trapped for all eternity! EVIL NEWS READER: Breaking news, Rani.
You're coming back to me.
EVIL SARAH JANE: Oh, Clyde, you're so stupid! Night, night, children.
No! Oh, your nightmares haven't even begun! Just listen to me.
Why? You keep telling me about you and what you want.
You've never asked about me.
What are you talking about? But you're just an alien.
Well, I'm called Luke Smith.
I was made by aliens to destroy the world.
But this brilliant woman, Sarah Jane Smith, she found me.
And she made me good.
And she found others.
A boy called Clyde.
And a girl called Rani.
This world has faced so many nightmares but there's always been someone there to stop them.
Us! I was so scared because I thought my mates my mates wouldn't be there for me.
Never mind Oxford, they followed me into my nightmares! Three kids breaking down the walls of dreams to be together.
Something no-one's ever done.
Because together, we're unbeatable! Oh! Very good.
But do you really think words can stop a creature like me? I wasn't talking to you.
He's right.
Because together, we stop the monsters.
We stop the nightmares.
Because when we're together, we're not scared.
You've got no hold over us now.
Cos we're brilliant when we're together.
Get away from me! So, there we go.
The boy made by aliens to destroy the world saves the world yet again.
Arrghhh! Oh, hello, love.
No! I can't be trapped here.
This can't happen to me! Let me out! Children of Earth, I demand you sleep, and you dream, and you fear.
YOU WILL FEAR ME! Come on, come and sit down.
And I'll tell you all about my brilliant son.
No.
His name's Luke Smith.
And he's going to live happily ever after.
Nooooooooo! You did it.
No.

Oh! I'm going to miss you.
Master Luke will be back at Christmas.
