In order to show them their advantages over the Doctor, he revealed the strength of their newfound allies, the [[Headless monk]]s, in that they were literally headless and could not be diverted by compassion or surprise. However, the Doctor, in disguise as a Monk, revealed himself to Manton and all of the troops; as Manton raised his gun, [[Madame Vastra|Vastra]] and [[Jenny (A Good Man Goes to War)|Jenny]], two of the Doctor's allies who had seized the hangar control room, switched off the lights, allowing the Doctor to blend in with the Monks once again in the dark. | ||
Confused as to the Doctor's whereabouts, the troops began to target the Monks - one of the troops, believing a Monk to be the Doctor, opened fire, provoking the Monks to draw their weapons and strike down several troops. Realising that the Doctor had gained the upper hand, and fearing that the Monks had turned against them, Manton ordered all of his troops to unload their weapons in order to persuade the Monks to stand down. However, the moment the troops finished unloading, a large battalion of [[Silurian]] warriors, as well as a group of [[Judoon]], teleported into the hangar, forcing the rally to surrender. Commander [[Strax]] then appeared beside Manton, announcing that the base now belonged to the Doctor. Manton warned that Demon's Run would send out an automatic distress call to his outside fleet in the event of an attack; the Doctor, revealing himself once more atop a hangar walkway, countered this by ordering a pair of space-worthy [[Spitfire]]s, provided by [[Winston Churchill]], to destroy the base's comms array. With his entire army defeated in a matter of minutes, Manton had no choice but to surrender. | Confused as to the Doctor's whereabouts, the troops began to target the Monks - one of the troops, believing a Monk to be the Doctor, opened fire, provoking the Monks to draw their weapons and strike down several troops.
