Night comes, and the Doctor wonders what he should do as the Undertaker gives him a cup of coffee; if Issac thought the Doctor was good enough to be Marshal, he has complete faith in him. However, he begins taking measurements again before the Doctor sends him away. The preacher comes into the Marshal's office and greets the Doctor, along with Amy and Rory. He tells them to come outside as there is a Lynch mob arriving. On the preacher's suggestion, the Doctor grabs the gun and holster , putting them on. They go outside to greet the mob. They tell the Doctor that he should go for a walk; when he returns Jex will be gone and he won't need to feel guilty. However, the Doctor tells them that it would betray the town's principals and Issac's sacrifice. They again explain that they are only concerned for their families; a boy aims a gun at the Doctor. The Doctor asks him if he really has the courage to pull the trigger, eventually talking him and the mob down. | Night comes, and the Doctor wonders what he should do as the Undertaker gives him a cup of coffee; if Issac thought the Doctor was good enough to be Marshal, he has complete faith in him.

Once the mob leaves, the Doctor tells Amy and Rory "give me a Dalek any day," implying he finds dealing with scared people harder. He returns to the cells to talk with Jex who also tries to goad him into handing him over to Tek. The Doctor tells him that he won't. Sensing how conflicted the Doctor is, Jex says it would be so much easier if he was just one thing, instead of two; the mad scientist or the benevolent doctor. Finding Jex's attempt to goad him amusing, the Doctor says it's a pretty clever idea on how to make up for all the lives that he | Once the mob leaves, the Doctor tells Amy and Rory "give me a Dalek any day," implying he finds dealing with scared people harder.

Finding Jex's attempt to goad him amusing, the Doctor says it's a pretty clever idea on how to make up for all the lives that he took, being the town's doctor, but it's not up to Jex to decide when his debt to society is up. Jex then explains he fears dying because Kahler religion says once they die, they have to climb a mountain, carrying the souls of all they wronged in life; Jex cries that Isaac, his only friend in Mercy, will be added to his load. The Doctor slightly sympathises. | ||

The Doctor decides to call the Gunslinger to a duel instead of handing Jex over the next day, facing the cyborg with his [[sonic screwdriver]]; he uses it to produce a high-pitched frequency that shatters glass and disorientates the Gunslinger. The Doctor takes advantage of his confusion and runs off as the Gunslinger fires random shots that cause property damage. The townspeople, who had used make-up to copy Jex's facial marks that the Gunslinger uses to ID Jex, run about to cause confusion. As part of the Doctor's plan, Jex uses the confusion to escape town and head for his ship. | The Doctor decides to call the Gunslinger to a duel instead of handing Jex over the next day, facing the cyborg with his [[sonic screwdriver]]; he uses it to produce a high-pitched frequency that shatters glass and disorientates the Gunslinger.
