Ian is in a dungeon in [[Afghanistan]] in [[1842]]. The [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] crew had landed in Afghanistan during "one of the biggest disasters in military history". They had been captured by Gilzai tribesmen, and Barbara and Ian were sent to the [[British]] siege in Kabul. They were then evacuated with the other British under [[Akbar Khan]]'s promise that they would have safe passage to Jalalabad. When the group was attacked and Ian was captured, he saw that the Doctor and Susan had rescued Barbara, and they were in Khan's custody. | Ian is in a dungeon in [[Afghanistan]] in [[1842]].

Ian's gaoler, [[Gul Zaheer]], brings Ian to a room with wooden platforms covering the center of the floor. He is nervous because Zaheer has been a cruel gaoler. Another British soldier, Lieutenant [[Symonds]], is brought in as well. He and Ian had met before, when Ian was pretending to be a captain. Zaheer taunts the British men, though Symonds can't understand him, and Ian tells Zaheer that a new army will retake the country from Khan. | Ian's gaoler, [[Gul Zaheer]], brings Ian to a room with wooden platforms covering the center of the floor.
