He became angry when they told him they travelled through time, as he believed that time was "too sacred for any man to tamper with", and punished them by placing them in death traps. The Doctor was tied to a pendulum swinging ever closer to a vat of boiling oil, while Jamie was placed in the bottom half of an hourglass where he would be buried in the sand. When they escaped, he tried to kill them himself, first with a crossbow and then with a squad of clock robots, but they evaded these attempts as well, and Father Time was knocked out by one of the robots.
