Pulling out a [[Species identifier|portable device]], the Doctor hooks it to the printer on the console and smiles at the device; it shows his [[First Doctor|first]] [[Second Doctor|two]] incarnations and his personal infromation. The Doctor frowns at the sight of his [[regeneration|past faces]]. Seeing that it works, the Doctor shows the device Vincent's painting, which it misinterprets as a parrot and polar bear, unable to clearly make out what it is. Annoyed, the Doctor thinks he'll have to make Vincent paint something better. | [[File:Vincent_and_Doctor_tardis.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor attempting to identify the 'invisible monster'.]] Inside, the Doctor rummages through a draw full of junk, apologising to the object he is looking for as he thought it was an embarrassing gift from a dull two-headed godmother.

Its dawn by the time the Doctor exits the TARDIS. Strapping the device to himself, the Doctor does not notice the creature reflected by the device. Having got a clear image of the creature, the device beeps, giving the Doctor the information about it; he mistakenly believes that it needed some time to get it right.

Strapping the device to himself, the Doctor does not notice the creature reflected by the device. Having got a clear image of the creature, the device beeps, giving the Doctor the information about it; he mistakenly believes that it needed some time to get it right. Reading the information, the Doctor feels sorry the "poor, brutal thing", wishing to see it again soon. Upon seeing the beast's reflection, he calmly says "but not ''that'' soon", before running off to escape it. To obstruct the creature's path, the Doctor drops debris behind him to slow the creature as he hides behind a corner. Using the mirror on the device, the Doctor finds that it has left in a different direction. He turns around, only to be scared by Amy; he demands to know why she left Vincent unguarded. Amy explains that though she loves his artwork, she finds it hard to like Vincent's snoring. | ||

She suggests he paint them, but Vincent explains they are not his favourite. He finds them complex, half-living and half-dying, but it would be a challenge; the Doctor tells Vincent he believes that he'll rise to the occasion. Giving Vincent a print-out of the creature, the Doctor explains that it's called a [[Krafayis]]. They travel through space in packs, a brutal race of scavengers. This one has apparently been abandoned. It will kill without mercy until it is killed, unlikely given its invisibility. Nonetheless, he assures Vincent they can stop the killings if he will paint the church. Vincent agrees and the Doctor informs him that, afterwards, he and Amy will leave. Once Vincent has departed, the Doctor expresses concern at putting him in such a dangerous situation; if he is killed, half of the paintings on display in the Musee d'Orsay will vanish. | ||
After awhile, the Doctor and Amy have gotten tired of waiting for Vincent getting ready. Wondering what is keeping him, the Doctor finds the painter lying in bed, sobbing. He is devastated that the Doctor and Amy are prepared to leave him like everyone else. The Doctor attempts to console him, but Vincent grows angry and orders him out. Back with Amy, the Doctor explains that Vincent has a fragile psyche and will kill himself in just a short few months. Taking this into consideration, the Doctor tells Amy that they will hunt down the Krafayis on their own, but before they can leave, Vincent appears at the door, ready to go. | After awhile, the Doctor and Amy have gotten tired of waiting for Vincent getting ready.
