The Doctor and Olga make to leave the castle but the Doctor takes the underground passageways as a detour instead of using the main door. They discover the Watchman's workshop, containing clocks and watches (from which he derived his title) as well as more scraps of Cyber metal but they are forced to hide when two men – one named [[Worm (Plague of the Cybermen)|Worm]] and the other the village butcher [[Drettle]] – arrive carrying Liza's body and they dump it on a table before leaving. The Doctor examines the body but hides again when the Watchman arrives and begins speaking to an [[Oracle (Plague of the Cybermen)|unseen figure with the voice of a Cyberman]]. The Cyberman overheard the Doctor and Olga and warns him they are still present. The Doctor and Olga charge out the workshop before anyone can give chase. | The Doctor and Olga make to leave the castle but the Doctor takes the underground passageways as a detour instead of using the main door.

As they do, Olga tells the Doctor the legend of the Plague Warriors. During an unusually ferocious storm, [[Cyber-ship|something]] fell from the sky and crashed into the church. The villagers investigated but they found nothing and the church had been a ruin ever since. The Doctor believes this is more than a story. They end up at the crypt where they find Stefan's body missing as well. They exit the passages and tunnels at the ruins of the church. He finds a lightning conductor – guarded by a Cyberman. They retreat back into the tunnels and are rescued through a hole in the ground by Klaus. | ||
Later, as the Doctor and Olga rest and recover, the Doctor goes for a quick walk and returns with [[anti-radiation pill]]s for all the villagers. He then reveals his plan to Olga of going back into the tunnels.

He then reveals his plan to Olga of going back into the tunnels. On the way, he mentions [[Bubonic plague]] and how it came to be associated with the legendary Plague Warriors after the object, really a [[Cyber-ship]], crashed into the church. The Doctor hypothesises that the Cybermen who survived the crash began scavenging any materials they could find in attempts to recover. The pair eventually come across the Cyber Ship where Drettle and Worm are scavenging Cyber parts for the Watchman. The ship is in emergency lighting as it stores power collected from the lighting storms, caused by the Cybermen seeding the atmosphere to create storms. The Doctor guesses the ship is either a colonisation ship or a military vessel as the two of the come across dozens of compartments containing hibernating Cybermen. Before too long, some Cybermen gain enough power to wake up and give chase to the Doctor and Olga. | ||
One of the Cybermen is fought off but the other, aided by [[Cyber Wolf|Cyber Wolves]] (converted dogs that went missing from the village), continues its pursuit. Caught off guard, Drettle is killed by the Cyberman and Worm is killed by the Cyber Wolves but the Doctor and Olga manage to outrun them and head back to the Watchman's workshop. The Watchman is less than happy to see them. The Doctor looks behind a curtain and finds a damaged Cyberman's head which begins screaming when exposed to light. The same head has been instructing the Watchman on all his recent projects, acting as a sort of [[Oracle (Plague of the Cybermen)|Oracle]]. Lord and Lady Ernhard appear to find out what is going on when another Cyberman invades the workshop, holding a power converter, declaring “We will revive.” Lord Ernhardt confronts the Cyberman and gets into a fight with it, eventually destroying it as the Doctor grabs the power converter, but then the Oracle takes control of Ernhardt's cybernetic hand. The Watchman is killed and the hand goes after the power converter but Lady Ernhardt manages to tear it off and smash it. The Doctor does the same with the power converter but he realises the power has already been sent to the Cyber Ship. | One of the Cybermen is fought off but the other, aided by [[Cyber Wolf|Cyber Wolves]] (converted dogs that went missing from the village), continues its pursuit.
