 === Part three ===
-''to be added''
+The Doctor pleads
+for Hecuba to let his friends go but she continues to flirtatiously
+tease him. Eventually she reveals that she has frozen them,
+admonishing the Doctor for being weak because of his caring nature.
+She then proceeds to challenge him to the next game. She explains the
+next game involves conjuring objects that must destroy the previous
+one summoned by the opposing player, akin to the earth game rock,
+paper, scissors. A battlefield is then conjured.
+In the kitchen, Snap
+and Dragon prepare the final meal. The Doctor notices the smell and
+notes that it smells... ''like death''.
+Back on the
+battlefield as seen from the TV screen, Hecuba ponders how to beat
+the archers from the battle of Agincourt that the Doctor has
+summoned. She conjures up the Charge of the Light Brigade which
+immediately devastates the archers. Hecuba takes sadistic pleasure in
+the destruction and taunts the Doctor. The Doctor counters by
+summoning a World War 1 mark V tank. Hecuba retaliates by summoning a
+laser. The Doctor, distraught by the destruction, decides to finally
+end the game by proposing peace.
+Zoe and Jamie attempt to
+escape and pull the lever again.
+Hecuba reveals the final
+meal, an animal stuffed with many other animals, to the Doctor’s
+disgust. The Doctor decides to play along and decides flattery may be
+the best course of action for the present.
+Meanwhile Jamie and
+Zoe find themselves in a vast desert. They begin to notice that sand
+is falling down on them like rain. Slowly they realize they are
+trapped in a large hourglass.
+The Doctor watches
+on in horror as he realizes that his companions will be suffocated to
+death. He again protests to Hecuba but she merely laughs and grants
+him a final reward: to give a farewell message to his companions.
+The Doctor talks to his companions through the TV set. He
+bids them farewell as Hecuba demands he do it quickly. He tells them
+to remember the time they met a little Dutch boy but is cut off
+mid-sentence. Zoe, unconvinced that the Doctor has truly given up,
+suspects there is a hidden meaning in what the Doctor said.
+Just as Hecuba
+thinks the Doctor’s companions have been destroyed, she is shocked
+to see Jamie plugging the hole of the hourglass and stopping the sand
+falling through. Too much sand accumulates in the upper glass and
+causes the hourglass to explode, no longer able to contain the sand,
+while Jamie and Zoe escape, angering Hecuba.
+Jamie and Zoe find
+themselves back where they started in the same hall. They stumble
+upon a room with many clocks that are not moving. Zoe finds some
+disks with letters inscribed into each of them and reads them out,
+touching the one with the letter ‘F’. Suddenly one of the clocks
+begins to tick. Zoe falls and Jamie, trying to steady her, sees her
+begin to rapidly age. Hecuba laughs maniacally in the background as
+Zoe calls out to the Doctor for help...
