Seeing [[Jack (Point of Entry)|Mad Jack]] in the [[stocks]] with his [[tongue]] mutilated for stealing [[bread]], the Doctor and Peri take him with them and Kit agrees to help despite [[Alys (Point of Entry)|Alys]] being unwilling. Kit introduces them to his friend [[Tom (Point of Entry)|Tom]] and they learn that a figure who was watching them outside was Velez, whose influence on the writing of ''[[Doctor Faustus]]'' Kit is unwilling to elaborate upon. Kit departs and the Doctor leaves Peri and Jack in Tom's care whilst he goes out to investigate, but Jack is discreetly captured by Velez and [[Iguano]] and Alys orders Peri and Tom to leave at closing time. In the hopes of finding the Doctor and Kit, they head to Velez's house. | |||
