The Doctor tries passing himself off as an undercover officer from [[Scotland Yard]] but realises it hasn't been founded yet. Seeing Ashildr leave with Leandro in her carriage, the Doctor tells the guards that the Knightmare is escaping and that he wishes to go to the hanging. The guards inform him there's a 20-pound bounty on him, which is a treasure compared to their pay, so they'd rather not take him to be hanged. The Doctor tells them where they can find Lady Me's treasure; they let him go and give him a horse in exchange. | The Doctor tries passing himself off as an undercover officer from [[Scotland Yard]] but realises it hasn't been founded yet.

At the hangman's noose, Swift is making jokes to buy himself a few more minutes; some of them are insulting but still funny. Leandro waits impatiently in Ashildr's carriage, yelling for Swift to hang already. The Doctor arrives, assisting with Swift's delay; Ashildr manages to overrule the comedy and get the hanging to begin. | At the hangman's noose, Swift is making jokes to buy himself a few more minutes; some of them are insulting but still funny. Leandro waits impatiently in Ashildr's carriage, yelling for Swift to hang already. The Doctor arrives, assisting with Swift's delay; Ashildr manages to overrule the comedy and get the hanging to begin. However, the Doctor uses his [[psychic paper]] to claim that Swift has been [[pardon]]ed by [[Oliver Cromwell]] himself, successfully ending the hanging. However, the crowd is impatient to see someone executed and Ashildr takes matters into her own hands with Swift noticing that she's familiar somehow. She places the Eyes of Hades on him. Leandro reveals himself, breathing fire in triumph. | ||
A portal opens, revealing Leandro was an advanced scout for his people, the [[Leonian]]s, to invade Earth. To her own shock, Ashildr finds that she still cares; she asks the Doctor what she should do.

To her own shock, Ashildr finds that she still cares; she asks the Doctor what she should do. The Doctor has Ashildr use the [[Mire]] [[repair kit]] he left with her on Swift, [[resurrection|resurrecting him]]; the excess of life energy causes the Eyes of Hades to backfire and closes the portal. Leandro is vaporised by his fellow warriors for his failure. | ||
In a pub later, Ashildr wonders if Swift is now immortal like her. The Doctor guesses that the excess that would have caused this may have been burned out in the portal closing, but is unsure himself; just in case Swift is immortal, he asks Ashildr keep an eye on him. It's at that moment that Ashildr realises why the Doctor won't take her with him; it's because her viewpoint is too much like his own, and he needs someone who sees things differently. The Doctor mentions having travelled with another immortal named [[Jack Harkness|Captain Jack Harkness]], and that she may be running into him in the future. Ashildr then says she'll take the role most of the others that have met the Doctor have, protecting the world from his good intentions. | In a pub later, Ashildr wonders if Swift is now immortal like her.
