The next day the Doctor and Majenta Pryce are on a train in the London Underground to their way to see ''The Mousetrap'' when the train stops. The Doctor's sonic screwdriver picks up a psychic pulse from somewhere down a tunnel. They leave the train, leaving some of the passengers worried by the Doctor's talk of "aliens".

As they walk down the tunnel, they find the cleaner who had been taken by the ghosts. He is now a ghost himself. He attacks the Doctor. Majenta picks up the screwdriver and zaps the man. He turns back to his normal self but is still a ghost. His name is [[Eddie Lang]]. the Doctor tries to tell him he is dead, but Majenta just blurts it out. He starts ranting on about a machine and then runs off.

Eddie confronts Mnemosyne, but she says he should obey her. He hits her on the head with his brush and the "ghosts" attack her. She falls to the floor and begs Majenta to save her, but Majenta smashes Mnemosyne's head and the "ghosts" begin to fade away.

As the Doctor and Majenta leaves, Majenta suggests they go and see ''The Mousetrap.'' The Doctor says no, he is going to Panacea right now. He tells her it is over. A voice comes from the sky, saying it is the voice of Justice, and Intersol has this world completely surrounded. They demand that she come out with her hands up.
