Summary

Four years after his involvement in the Hundred Days War, the Doctor returns to the city of Cherenkov where he defeated the brutal dictator Jeremiah Maru-Stahl. By showing the medal he was awarded for his actions, he is able to ensure that one of the offworld casualties is added to a memorial.

The Doctor then visits Maru-Stahl who was going to be brought to trial for his crimes, but his failing mental health prevented this from happening. The Doctor talks to Maru-Stahl inside his cell who then lapses into insanity. Over the next few days, the Doctor attempts to coerce Maru-Stahl into revealing how he changed from a beloved revoultionary leader into a ruthless dictator. After many days the prisoner finally tells him: to fight monsters, he became a monster. The Doctor realises that there is nothing he can do for Maru-Stahl and leaves in the TARDIS.
