In 1942, the fighter planes have flown overhead, while Byron finally releases Charley. A crewman calls for Byron to come to the captain, while Charley opts to follow him to the bridge. In 2008, the Doctor asks Ms. Pollard about her loss of memory in 1942 and Byron sends the helicopter away. Having had enough of the Doctor's claims, he has one of his men search his pockets and he sets off a mouse trap the Doctor had primed in them, which Ms. Pollard finds most amusing. Byron accuses the Doctor of trying to pirate the SS Batavia for whatever was still there and Miss Pollard is insistent that the only thing that would have been on the ship when it sank was the valuable possessions of passengers from the main ships. | In 1942, the fighter planes have flown overhead, while Byron finally releases Charley.

Byron and Charley are brought in front of the captain, who takes an immediate dislike to Charley's presence, but Byron vouches for her. They examine the remains of an operator who was killed in the fighter planes' assault. Byron explains he was a defector with top secret plans for a machine which blocks radar detection by making the ship allegedly invisible. Charley claims that the only thing the machine needs is powering up, and suggests using the lightning of the storm rolling over to do so. In 2008, Byron is attempting to break into a vault on the ship's lower decks, to no avail and the Doctor's smugness. Byron orders his men to bring down a plastic explosive to open the vault door, which the Doctor is | Byron and Charley are brought in front of the captain, who takes an immediate dislike to Charley's presence, but Byron vouches for her.

In 2008, Byron is attempting to break into a vault on the ship's lower decks, to no avail and the Doctor's smugness. Byron orders his men to bring down a plastic explosive to open the vault door, which the Doctor is sceptical of as it could just as easily sink the ship; he also continues questions the mystery of the boat and of Miss Pollard's history. Byron continues to get more and more pent up when Miss Pollard hits him over the head with a wrench, knocking him unconscious. She and the Doctor proceed further into the ship to investigate. | ||
In 1942, Charley and the captain have the crew of the Batavia raise a conductor up to mast in order to attempt Charley's plan. In 2008, Byron's men find him unconscious and wake him up. They find the Doctor and Miss Pollard gone and go in search of them. The Doctor and Ms. Pollard make their way into the bridge when the Doctor finds the operator's pulse generator and theorises that whenever there was a storm, the machine would power up and make the whole ship invisible, much like Charley's principle would enable in 1942. | In 1942, Charley and the captain have the crew of the Batavia raise a conductor up to mast in order to attempt Charley's plan.
