Felnikov points out a series of nuclear warhead-carrying rockets called SCARPs, which no other country in the world has, but the Doctor says that he knows other armies that have much deadlier weapons. When Felnikov says that most secrets lose their bluster after they're revealed, the Doctor replies that he just has to know where to look. Felnikov leaves the group to do his business elsewhere. Ace believes that Felnikov thinks that they won't go through with their plan, but it's too late to turn back now, so they begin to make their way over to Yasha's location, where the Doctor fears Felnikov will also be waiting. | Felnikov points out a series of nuclear warhead-carrying rockets called SCARPs, which no other country in the world has, but the Doctor says that he knows other armies that have much deadlier weapons.

Glarva contacts Hhessh who is inside a [[crate]] that is being carried on the transport that Creevy and Kerenskaya are driving through the parade. Hhessh is informed that his transport is approaching the Kremlin and then there will be one last battle for the relics that they have been trying to recover. | |||
The Doctor's group arrives at the Kremlin's gates and soon meet Yasha who lets them in after seeing Creevy's papers. The Doctor doesn't want any violence during this operation, to which Creevy replies that he prefers to talk his way out of trouble. After the Doctor reminds Creevy that Hhessh is armed with a sonic weapon, Ace says that it's set to stun after she spoke to him, prompting the Doctor to compliment Ace for her forward thinking. | |||
Yasha orders the group out of the vehicle. Ace realizes that they're missing the fireworks of the parade, but the Doctor tells her that they will soon have some of their own. Both Creevy and the Doctor carry the crate containing Hhessh to Yasha's van while Kerenskaya begins to feel what she tells Ace is nerves. | |||
Kerenskaya notices that no one is around because they're busy watching the parade. Creevy and the Doctor load Hhessh's crate onto Yasha's van before they are all ordered to enter the Kremlin. They take the elevator down to the level of the vault where the relics are being kept. | |||
Yasha explains that he and his brother, Yevgeni, worked on different projects and Yevgeni was scared. Ace remembers that he was terrified when she and the Doctor met him in the café. Yasha has not seen the treasures due to the high amount of security around the Kremlin, but Yevgeni believes that it has a mind of its own, which is how he knew that it would end up killing him. | |||
As the group proceeds towards the vault, the Doctor wonders where the security is. Kerenskaya explains that they're busy watching the parade and are not expecting any trouble. Ace begins to suspect that a trap is set, but Creevy releases Hhessh from his crate to prevent Ace and the Doctor from leaving. Kerenskaya prevents Yasha from shooting Hhessh for thinking he's a traitor. After Hhessh says that they all fear betrayal, the Doctor tells the Ice Lord that he doesn't fear him, but his motive, which he doesn't understand. | |||
Ace is ordered by Creevy and the Doctor to open the vault door as Yasha runs off, only to run into Felnikov who asks him if he managed to bring them to the vault as he promised. When Ace has trouble opening the vault door, Hhessh tells her that the code sequences are wrong. Using a [[stethoscope]], the Doctor tries to locate the door's contact point, only to find that the dials have been reset and the codes have been changed. Angered, Hhessh accused the Doctor of lying to them and decides to try and cut a way in, only for Ace to produce some Nitro so that she can blow up the door. | |||
