You Have to Have Five.






" We say Our Prayers. 
Then we write Our News. 
We read in the book corner. 
We measure and We weigh. 
We buy things at the shop. 
We have Our milk. 
We play in the playing ground. 
We dance and... "
[breaks down crying with pure joy]




[Tommy's cupboard]

(Tommy is still reading aloud.

"Intelligence as a concept :
 The simplistic notion that the intelligence quotient ...

(He looks the new word up in a dictionary.) 

" Quotient : Result given by dividing one quantity by another. "

It's no use. 

I don't understand the words. 

I'll have to ask someone what's happened to me. 

Yates - He's my friend, I think. 
I'll ask Mister Yates..!



(Tommy opens the door.

BARNES [OC]: 
Moss may be in the garden, if he hasn't run away altogether, of course. 

MIKE [OC]: 
But we'll meet in the cellar. 

BARNES [OC]: 
Yes, I suppose so. The sooner we get on with it, the better. 
I haven't had a moment's peace since Lupton disappeared. 

MIKE [OC]: 
Ten minutes. 

BARNES [OC]: 
If I can find them, of course.



(Tommy thinks over what he has heard.)

BARNES [OC]: 
I haven't had a moment's peace since Lupton disappeared. 

MIKE [OC]: 
But we'll meet in the cellar. 
We'll meet in the cellar. 
In the cellar. 
In the cellar. 
In the cellar. 
In the cellar. 
In the cellar. 

TOMMY: 
Cellar? 

SARAH [OC]: 
Lupton has gone down to the cellar. 
Lupton has gone down to the cellar. 
Lupton has gone down to the cellar. 
Lupton has gone down. 
Lupton. 
Lupton. 
Lupton. 
Lupton. 
Lupton. 
Lupton. 
Lupton. 
Lupton. 
Lupton. 

TOMMY: 
Lupton. Clever Lupton! 

(Tommy remembers Lupton appearing out of thin air.) 

CONTRARY TO NATURAL LAW

TOMMY: 
Clever Lupton....

(Tommy gets the crystal from his shoe box.

TOMMY: 
Cho-Je. I'll ask Cho-Je. 

(He hides the crystal in an empty first aid box.)






(Mike is sitting up and trying to free his hands when Barnes enters. Mike says something through the gag so Barnes removes it.

BARNES: 
Well? 

MIKE: 
What are you going to do? 

BARNES: 
Do? 

MIKE: 
About Lupton. I told you, I overheard you talking. 

BARNES: 
There's nothing we can do. Just got to wait for him and keep you here until he comes back. 

MIKE: 
But as you said yourselves, he may not be able to. 

BARNES: 
I know. As I said, there's nothing we can do. 

MIKE: 
Of course there is. Re-establish the link, the contact. 

BARNES: 
You mean with the mandala and the ceremony? 

MIKE:
He's probably waiting for you to do just that. 

BARNES: 
There are only four of us. You have to have five. 

MIKE: 
I'll help. 

BARNES: 
You? Why should you help? 

MIKE: 
Because of Sarah Jane Smith, of course. 

I want her back just as much as you want Lupton. 

BARNES: 
Yes, yes, of course. 
But how do I know it's not just some sort of trick? 

MIKE: 
Oh, for Pete's sake. Of course it isn't! Come on, untie me.





K'ANPO: 
His Compassion protected him, just as Tommy's Innocence was his shield.
