It saw the series revisit the concept of ghosts and hauntings, last explored in the television story ''[[Hide (TV story)|Hide]]'' in [[2013 (releases)|2013]]. The episode poses another explanation for the apparitions, in this case as resurrected transmitters of an alien presence's signal. It also continued the thematic concept of [[the Doctor]] apparently facing death, with the end of the episode setting up yet another opportunity for the Doctor to reflect on his mortality. | It saw the series revisit the concept of ghosts and hauntings, last explored in the television story ''[[Hide (TV story)|Hide]]'' in [[2013 (releases)|2013]].

In an underwater mining facility based in [[Scotland]], [[2119]] designated [[the Drum]], the [[captain]], [[Jonathan Moran|Moran]], is recording a log in his journal.

A crew member named [[Tim Lunn|Lunn]] interprets the sign language of another crew member, [[Cass (Under the Lake)|Cass]], saying that the reason for its sudden appearance is due to underwater movement and shifts on the floor of the lake. Another crew member named [[Richard Pritchard|Pritchard]] recommends they discuss ownership the spaceship, prompting Moran to tell everybody to stop calling it a spaceship, as they don't know what it is. Bennett, another of the crew, is adamant that it's not technology that could have existed back in the 1980s. | A crew member named [[Tim Lunn|Lunn]] interprets the sign language of another crew member, [[Cass (Under the Lake)|Cass]], saying that the reason for its sudden appearance is due to underwater movement and shifts on the floor of the lake.

The crew enter, and Moran notices something inside the craft, asking Lunn to hand him a torch. Lunn does so, but glimpses [[Albar Prentis|a ghostly figure]] reflected in the glass. He reluctantly hands Moran the torch. Moran investigates four strange markings on the wall, whilst Lunn asks Cass why he shouldn't go inside. Whilst they bicker, Pritchard cries out as he glimpses the ghost, accidentally starting the engines.

However, before he can ponder this further, Clara draws his attention to the outside of the ship, where the ghosts have reappeared. The Doctor greets them warmly, wondering if they wanted them to see this strange writing. The ghosts do not respond, only walking over to a wall to grab weapons. Clara notes that this is not going well. The Doctor wonders if Clara said anything to offend them, as she once even got into a fight with [[Gandhi]]. Moran fires a harpoon gun at them but misses. The Doctor and Clara run out of the hanger; the ghosts follow them through the walls but are forced to leave their armaments behind as they are not intangible like them. | However, before he can ponder this further, Clara draws his attention to the outside of the ship, where the ghosts have reappeared.

Now back in the corridors, they run away from the ghosts. At the end of the corridor, O'Donnell opens a door, yelling for them to enter. They comply and the door is slammed behind them. The room is filled with living supplies and the remaining six members of the crew. A smug man by the name of [[Richard Pritchard|Pritchard]] tells them that if they don't work for [[Vector Petroleum]], they are in big trouble. The Doctor brandishes the [[psychic paper]] and introduces himself and Clara. Shocked by what he sees on the psychic paper, Pritchard yelps that they're from [[UNIT]]; "Well, if that's what it says." the Doctor passively says. O'Donnell shakes his hand, happy to meet a Doctor. The Doctor asks what the ghosts are, dismissing the idea they are ghosts; he asks to know who's in charge, so he can ignore them. Lunn explains that Cass is, but Pritchard claims to be as he's from management. | Now back in the corridors, they run away from the ghosts.

The Doctor ignores Pritchard, asking what happened; Lunn begins translating for Cass, but the Doctor tells him that he can understand [[sign language]]. Cass begins explaining, but the Doctor asks her to stop; he thinks he deleted sign language from the TARDIS for [[Semaphore]]. Lunn resumes translating; the mole alien killed Moran as soon as the ship got brought on board and the ghosts have pretty much been trying to kill them since. The crew hide out here in the [[Faraday cage]] as the ghosts cannot enter it for some reason. The Doctor notes how odd it is for the alien ghost to be aggressive as [[Tivolian]]s are so cowardly, "They wouldn't even say boo to a goose." A recorded voice announces that day mode is on. Everyone starts leaving the room, confusing the Doctor; O'Donnell explains that the ghosts only come out at night. | The Doctor ignores Pritchard, asking what happened; Lunn begins translating for Cass, but the Doctor tells him that he can understand [[sign language]].

Everyone returns to the hanger, with the Doctor curious as to why they haven't abandoned the base. Pritchard takes credit for that, explaining Vector Petroleum would lose tons of money if they abandoned the base. The Doctor calls Pritchard an idiot for not valuing human life over money; he recaps the entire ridiculous situation, sarcastically asking if anyone has a peanut allergy. The Doctor goes back into the ship, asking where the missing parts are; this confuses the crew as they haven't touched the ship since they brought it on board. The Doctor explains that a power cell is missing and so is the suspended animation chamber for the pilot. He begins to ramble on what he's observed about the ghosts, grinning more and more as he comes to a conclusion. Clara, having caught on to his train of thought, wonders if he's actually thinking... | Everyone returns to the hanger, with the Doctor curious as to why they haven't abandoned the base.

''"They're ghosts!"'' the Doctor exclaims back in the control room. Clara points out that he completely shot down the idea of ghosts.

Met with silence, the Doctor wonders why everyone is staring at him; they explain Moran was their friend. Clara tells him to bring out his cards. Realising Clara is right, the Doctor pulls out a stack of cards with kind and apologetic things written on them. | ||
Annoyed the Doctor is taking too long, Clara takes the right one out and the Doctor reads it off, promising to solve Moran's murder. With that done, the Doctor resumes being excited at the idea of wrestling down a ghost and asking it questions about what it's state of existence is like. He does note he subconsciously noticed the ghost can only handle metal objects.

The plan is simple, use Lunn, Bennett and Clara as bait to lure the ghosts to the Faraday cage; the Doctor, Cass and O'Donnell will monitor things from the control room (being deaf, Cass cannot help with being bait as she cannot be prompted over the radio). Bennett finds the ghosts in the galley, yelling for their attention; they give chase as the Doctor tells him where to go over the radio. As soon as Bennett turns a corner opposite of Lunn, Lunn runs out and becomes the ghost's target. However, when it comes time to pass the ghosts off to Clara, only Moran and the Tivolian follow her; Pritchard is still following Lunn. | The plan is simple, use Lunn, Bennett and Clara as bait to lure the ghosts to the Faraday cage; the Doctor, Cass and O'Donnell will monitor things from the control room (being deaf, Cass cannot help with being bait as she cannot be prompted over the radio).

The ghosts enter much to Lunn's horror; he cowers in a corner as the ghost leans in. However, it senses something off and leaves. Lunn tells the Doctor the oddity over the radio. Pritchard rejoins the other ghosts chasing Clara, as she passes them off to Bennett. Bennett makes it to the Faraday cage, where Clara is inside; however, when the ghosts go to attack, they pass right through her. It's a hologram of Clara, not the real thing. | ||
The cage is sealed behind the ghosts by the Doctor, who tells them they need to talk. He sends what he's seeing through the [[sonic sunglasses]] back to the monitor in the control room; however, Cass cannot read the lips of the ghosts because of the glare of the window. Despite the protests of everyone, the Doctor enters the cage to give Cass a better look at the ghosts. Moran sticks his hand through the Doctor, who says it's cold before jovially asking if the ghost agrees. Without access to the controls or anything metal, the ghosts are no longer a threat. Cass now has a good view of the ghosts and finds they are repeating the same four words: the dark, the sword, the forsaken, the temple. The Doctor is confused for a moment but then has an epiphany. | The cage is sealed behind the ghosts by the Doctor, who tells them they need to talk.

Back in the control room, the Doctor explains that these words are coordinates that are leading to the flooded town outside the base. The meaning of the message is something he hasn't figured out; is it a call for help or an invasion signal. The Doctor then asks everyone if something is still bothering them; after a moment, Cass says it's the temple part of the message. The Doctor uses a map to reveal this message is pointing to an old church, where something commanding the ghosts is in waiting. | Back in the control room, the Doctor explains that these words are coordinates that are leading to the flooded town outside the base.

Suddenly, the base starts acting up. O'Donnell explains that messing with the day mode of the base so much has caused the system to malfunction and assume the reactor is in danger of going critical. It's being flooded, which means unless they get to the TARDIS, they are stuck here with the ghosts. The Doctor, Bennett and O'Donnell are the only ones who make it to the other side of the base before the doors seal. He promises to come back for Clara. Back in the TARDIS, the Doctor says that he needs to go back [[Before the Flood (TV story)|before the flood]] to find out how all this started.
