Back at the council chamber, Thous is informed by Damon of the revolt of the fish people. He agrees to enter discussions with them. Zaroff enters and overrules this, saying that any dissenting fish people will be killed. Finally realising that the Doctor was right about Zaroff, Thous says the scientist has no right to overrule him and orders that his experiment be halted immediately. But Zaroff merely laughs and shoots Thous, and then orders his two guards to kill Thous' guards — which they do.

It will commence in five minutes. The Doctor enters and explains to the technicians and guards Zaroff's true plan. They desert him. Zaroff operates a control and a cage-like grille descends so he and the main control area are isolated from the rest of the laboratory; Zaroff says that the Doctor and Ben will never get to him. As time passes, Ben hears the sea approaching and makes to leave. To make life harder for Zaroff, the Doctor cuts off his light supply. Zaroff is forced to raise the grille and comes out from the control area, armed, to switch the lights back on. Ben suddenly returns and heads for the main control area, where he quickly operates the control for the grille and gets out again before it comes down. Ben and the Doctor escape while Zaroff, cut off from his control area, desperately reaches through the grille to try to operate the detonation control. But it's no good: the control is just beyond Zaroff's reach. | ||
