Wilson enters the Master's cell, asking if he needs a new book. The Master says that he's not quite finished with his current one. As Wilson is leaving, the Master asks if he's new at the prison; Wilson replies that he is. The Master then attempts to hypnotise him, seemingly to no effect. Wilson then leaves and Trenchard turns off the monitor. The Doctor says that it is impressive and asks if they could finally see the Master. Trenchard shows them the way to the Master's cell. | Wilson enters the Master's cell, asking if he needs a new book. The Master says that he's not quite finished with his current one.

Trenchard informs the Master that he has visitors. After the Master exchanges pleasantries with the Doctor and Jo, Trenchard leaves and tells the Doctor to let the guard know when they want to leave. The Master says that Trenchard is a decent man and that he used to be the leader of a colony. The Doctor says that it was a very small colony and that they'd claimed independence soon after Trenchard arrived. Jo says that the Master seems to be treated well, to which the Master replies that he has everything that he wants aside from his freedom. The Doctor says that he should consider himself lucky, as there were those who wanted him executed. The Master says that he is not ungrateful and that it's given him time to rethink his life choices. The Doctor asks if he's reformed, to which the Master says that he has a lot to repent for. The Doctor says that if he's changed to give him the location of [[The Master's TARDIS|his TARDIS]]. The Master asks if he wants to know so he can escape Earth. The Doctor says that he simply wants to make sure that the Master can't. The Master says that giving the location of his TARDIS is too much to ask. The Doctor is unsurprised and leaves the cell with Jo. Before leaving, the Doctor asks the Master if there's anything he can do for him. The Master asks that he visit occasionally, saying that Trenchard is nice, but not much good for conversation. They say their goodbyes and the Master offers the Doctor a handshake, but the Doctor decides to wave instead. Once they have left, the Master laughs maniacally. | ||
Jo asks the Doctor if the reason he wanted to see the Master was if he felt sorry for the Master and to see if he was all right. The Doctor says that he and the Master used to be very good friends and that they were even at school together. Jo asks how long the Master is going to be imprisoned for. The Doctor says that he thinks the Master will be held forever. Trenchard comes in to stamp their passes before they leave. The Doctor acts with incredulity that their passes need further marking, but Trenchard says that it's the rules. The Doctor warns Trenchard to be careful of the Master as he's very dangerous, but Trenchard says not to worry as he keeps an eye on him. Trenchard returns their passes to Jo and shows them out. | Jo asks the Doctor if the reason he wanted to see the Master was if he felt sorry for the Master and to see if he was all right.

Meanwhile, Jo is handing Robbins some money in exchange for borrowing his motorcycle. Robbins tells her to take care of it, to which Jo tells him that she will and that she'll return it once she's found the Doctor. She puts on the helmet and goggles and drives off. | Meanwhile, Jo is handing Robbins some money in exchange for borrowing his motorcycle.

Back in the Master's cell, a screen turns on showing a television programme of alien mice-like creatures making slide whistle noises, which the Master is enjoying. Trenchard enters asking what the Master is watching. The Master jokes that it seems to be an interesting extra-terrestrial life form. Trenchard informs the Master that it's only a children's puppet programme. The Master feigns realization and puffs at Trenchard's lack of humour as he turns off the television. Trenchard gives the Master the chart he'd asked for and spreads them out on the table. The Master begins plotting points and tells Trenchard that his talents are wasted at the prison and that once their plan succeeds, people will hold him in higher regard. Trenchard asks him what he's doing and the Master says that he'd been plotting the points where the ships sank, in the middle of which is an abandoned sea fort. Trenchard says that it's not abandoned anymore as it's being converted into a [[sonar]] testing station and that contractors are working on it. | Back in the Master's cell, a screen turns on showing a television programme of alien mice-like creatures making slide whistle noises, which the Master is enjoying, and even whistling along with the creatures.

At the abandoned base, the contractors, [[Clark (The Sea Devils)|Clark]] and [[Hickman]], are playing poker. Clark wins the hand and offers Hickman the chance to win his money back. Hickman turns down the offer. Clark asks what's wrong with him and he responds that there's something off about the base. Hickman confirms with Clark that they're the only people on the base before saying that he keeps getting the feeling that they're being watched.

Back at the Seaspite, Hart is asking the Doctor where his credentials are if he's with UNIT. The Doctor says he never carries credentials as they're bureaucratic nonsense. He says that Jo has his pass and enters Hart's office. Hart asks why he didn't arrange a meeting and the Doctor says that he dropped by on impulse after hearing about the lifeboat. He borrows a pad of paper from Hart's secretary and draws the scorch pattern on the lifeboat, pointing out that it is very linear. Hart attributes this to a freak effect of the ship catching fire. The Doctor points out that it couldn't have caught fire as no one had seen any smoke or flames. The Doctor gives his explanation; a concentrated beam of heat from below the boat while it was in the water. He claims it was done intentionally so that there would be no survivors. He then approaches a map and ask what the markers mean. Hart says that they indicate the last known position of the missing ships. Just then, there's a call saying that a young lady has arrived with two UNIT passes asking after the Doctor. | Back at the Seaspite, Hart is asking the Doctor where his credentials are if he's with UNIT.

The prisoners retake the base. A soldier arrives, and the Doctor orders him to keep watch over the Master, but the Master hypnotises him and escapes. The Doctor chases after the Master, and they reach the base, where multiple Sea Devils capture them. Meanwhile, Walker orders a nuclear strike. The Doctor sabotages the machine, and the two [[Time Lord]]s are imprisoned. The Doctor reveals that he reversed the polarity of neutron flow, which will cause a massive explosion. The Time Lords escape by using the Doctor's sonic screwdriver to get out of their cell; they find diving suits and exit the base. They rise to the surface and are rescued by a Naval [[hovercraft]] just before the base explodes, and the Sea Devils are destroyed. | The prisoners retake the base.

The rescuers have called an [[ambulance]] for the Master, who appears to have suffered a heart attack. However, when the ambulance arrives, the Doctor and Jo realise the man brought out on the stretcher is not really the Master, but a hovercraft crew member wearing a latex mask — the Master has hypnotised him and forced him to act as a decoy. They realise that the Master has stolen the hovercraft and, too late to do anything to stop him, all they can do is bitterly watch their foe taunt them as he escapes to fight another day. | The rescuers have called an [[ambulance]] for the Master, who appears to have suffered a heart attack on board the hovercraft.
