As he meets Lang, the Doctor waits in anticipation for the film's iconic character, "The Machine Man". However, the Doctor is horrified to see that "The Machine Man" is not the costumed character played by [[Brigitte Helm]], but instead, a [[Cyberman (Monsters in Metropolis)|Cyberman]]. The Doctor tries to warn them of the danger of the Cyberman, but no one is listening to him. The Cyberman technician and "creator", [[Dieter Jovanovic]], tries to activate the Cyberman but the Doctor uses his sonic to disrupt it before it could fully activate, causing it [[pain]]. [[Anger|Angry]] at the Doctor's interference, the Doctor is escorted off the set by Dreyfus. | As he meets Lang, the Doctor waits in anticipation for the film's iconic character, "The Machine Man".

The Doctor finds another way into the studio, where he's met by Jovanovic who asks for the Doctor's help. He offers to show the Doctor the Cyberman and explains how he found the creature. When they reach the creature, the Doctor is surprised to see the Cyberman expressing pain, which should be impossible for the [[Cyberman|Cyberman race]]. Jovanovic continues to believe the Cyberman has [[Evolution|evolved]], and the Doctor tells the technician of what a Cyberman is. Jovanovic demonstrates that he is in complete control of the Cyberman's actions. They leave the creature alone to rest, though the Doctor still expresses his concern that the Cyberman might revert back to its base program to [[Cyber-conversion|convert]] and destroy. Jovanovic begs the Doctor to leave it be, as he spent so much to buy it. It is all he feels he has left after losing [[Dieter Jovanovic's father|his father]] and many [[Friendship|friends]] in the [[World War I|recent war]], and being propelled into poverty by the [[Treaty of Versailles|peace settlement]]. | The Doctor finds another way into the studio, where he's met by Jovanovic who asks for the Doctor's help.

Empathising with Jovanovic, the Doctor relents and agrees to spare the Cyberman, on the condition he stay on set to make sure it does not cause much damage if it goes out of control. | ||
While in his dressing room, Olaf Richter is confronted by the Cyberman which attacks and kills the actor. Dreyfus enters to witness the [[murder]] and becomes the Cyberman's next target. The Doctor and Jovanovic follows her [[scream]]s and intervene. The Doctor tries to use the [[sonic screwdriver]] again but it fails to affect the creature. As the Cyberman approaches the three, also voicing commands to kill the Doctor, the Doctor remembers that Fredersen's [[pen]] prop has [[gold]] plating and uses it on the Cyberman. Clogging its respiratory system, the gold forced it to retreat. They find Richter's body, and the Doctor is convinced the Cyberman has reverted to it's true base drive, and needs to be destroyed. The Doctor, concerned with preserving history, asks Dreyfus to work with Lang and keep filming going, while he and Jovanovic hunt the Cyberman off the studio. | While in his dressing room, Olaf Richter is confronted by the Cyberman which attacks and kills the actor.
