The Doctor and Liz follow the route. Liz points out a more direct route they could take. As they go off to follow it, the Doctor discovers bullet cartridges and Baker's pass. He throws a rock into the puddle before them, which begins to froth — it is not water, but some sort of acid. They decide to stick to Quinn's route. As they walk, Liz expresses concern as to how hot it is. Soon enough they discover a doorway. They hear a Silurian approaching and hide. The Silurian comes to the door and emits a beeping noise which causes it to open. The Doctor and Liz inspect the door. Liz finds that it is boiling hot. The Doctor tries the scanner that he took from Quinn. It opens the door. They sneak in and find a group of Silurians working at a workstation. As they explore, they find Baker in a cage. Baker asks if they have brought the army with them, but the Doctor says he hasn't. Baker says it is an electric lock and he cannot escape, and tells them that he hasn't been harmed and that they have just been questioning him regarding the population of the Earth, weaponry and food. The Doctor tells Baker to cooperate with them for the time being, but a humming noise draws the attention of the Doctor and Liz. They observe some kind of apparatus that is reviving a Silurian from deep hibernation, and the Doctor wonders if this explains the power losses. Baker implores them to run. They agree, promising to return. As they leave the way they came, they are met by three Silurians but manage to sneak away unseen. As they try a different corridor, they come across the dinosaur that attacked the Doctor in a cage. | The Doctor and Liz follow the route. Liz points out a more direct route they could take.

There is a further issue with the cyclotron. A technician named Travis is having to deal with it in lieu of any of the other staff. Lawrence enters and enquires as to the whereabouts of Quinn and Dawson, but Travis has had no reply from either of them. | There is a further issue with the cyclotron. A technician named Travis is having to deal with it in lieu of any of the other staff. Lawrence enters and enquires as to the whereabouts of Quinn and Dawson, but Travis has had no reply from either of them. Masters, the Permanent Under-Secretary, arrives. Lawrence shows him through to the conference room. Masters questions the usefulness of the cyclotron and whether it is living up to the hopes that Lawrence had for it. Lawrence shifts the pressure towards UNIT, highlighting the Doctor's theory about monsters. Lawrence implores Masters to withdraw the Brigadier and UNIT, but he refuses. The Doctor enters and interrupts Lawrence criticising UNIT. He asks if there has been a power surge recently. The Brigadier enters and asks Masters when he is getting his reinforcements. He tells him that he will not be getting any as he cannot justify such manpower with no proof. The Doctor says there is no need for reinforcements as he knows what is going on. Everyone concerned asks him to share his knowledge. | ||
Two Silurians are questioning Baker. They ask if humans are the only intelligent species and whether all people carry the projectile weapons that he had. Baker refuses to discuss anything regarding weaponry. The younger Silurian threatens him, but the older one stops him. The two Silurians argue. The younger one wants to kill Baker and any humans that they find, but the older one wants to study them. | Two Silurians are questioning Baker.

The Brigadier reassures a concerned Liz that the Doctor will be all right. Baker enters and claims that the Doctor is a traitor working in cahoots with the Silurians and says they must attack. The Doctor enters and says that this is the opposite of what they should do and orders everyone to keep back from Baker. He tells Baker he is infected with the disease. Baker doesn't believe him and attempts to arrest him. The Doctor gets up on a table and points at Baker's wrist. Baker rolls up his sleeve, where there are scabby marks. He faints. | The Brigadier reassures a concerned Liz that the Doctor will be all right.

Lawrence asks him if he is all right, but Masters dismisses it. | ||
