Part One
[Inflatable boat]
(A pair of inflatables are being paddled by soldiers. They pass over the remarkably well preserved prow of a sunken wooden vessel, which has the head of a dragon. A mist swirls in.)
PROZOROV: (in Russian) Captain, we've lost the others.
SORIN: Don't worry. Keep rowing.
(They head underneath a rock arch towards a rocky shore)
[Navy base]
(Played by Crowborough Training Camp, Cranbrook, Sussex. The Tardis materialises by a large red brick structure. The Doctor and Ace come out. She is wearing a 1940's outfit with a red snood holding her hair back, while he has a duffel coat on.)
DOCTOR: Ah, this looks about right. World War Two uniforms. No need to worry about looking silly.
ACE: If this is a top secret naval camp, then I'm Lord Nelson.
DOCTOR: Oh, whine, whine, whine, whine.
ACE: Professor, top secret naval camps usually have men with guns all over the place. You don't just stroll in.
(The Doctor stops while Ace walks on.)
[Lookout post]
(Sergeant Leigh observes the newcomers from behind a pile of sandbags covered with camouflage netting. He radios his report.)
LEIGH: House guests leaving the conservatory, entering the library.
[Command room]
(Captain Bates receives the report.)
LEIGH [OC]: They'll reach the drawing room in about sixty seconds.
[Maidens Point]
(Meanwhile, the Russians pull their inflatable up onto the beach)
SORIN: (in Russian) Set up camp over there. Move it. Take the boat up.
(Sorin taps a nervous young soldier on the shoulder)
PETROSSIAN: What's happened to our comrades?
SORIN: Nothing, nothing. Go on, move on.
[Navy camp]
ACE: I've had more trouble getting into Greenford disco without a ticket.
DOCTOR: You can always go back.
ACE: I'd rather go rock climbing.
DOCTOR: Not in those clothes.
[Lookout post]
LEIGH: House guests leaving the nursery. Wait! Something's wrong. One of them's a girl.
[Command post]
BATES: Say again, lookout?
LEIGH [OC]: One of them's a girl. They're the wrong ones!
(Bates turns to another transmitter.)
BATES: Rat trap! Rat trap now!
[Naval camp]
(The guard are mobilised, and the Doctor and Ace find themselves surrounded by rifles.)
LEIGH: Don't move! Hand's up!
DOCTOR: About time too! Call yourselves Royal Marines? You're a disgrace. Those boots are filthy. What would happen if the Germans attacked now?
PERKINS: Sorry, sir.
ACE: In fact, how do you know we aren't Germans? Well, answer me.
PERKINS: You don't look like Germans, ma'am.
DOCTOR: I don't suppose you know where Doctor Judson's office is? Never mind. This way.
ACE: Yes, sir.
(The Doctor and Ace stride away through the troop of marines towards a single story building)
[Maidens Point]
(Prozorov speaks to Sorin in Russian)
SORIN: Prozorov, everything in English. From now on, everything in English.
PROZOROV: Quick, down on the beach.
SORIN: Come on!
PETROSSIAN: How long till nightfall?
SORIN: Long enough. Come on!
(A Russian soldier is pulled from the water, looking unnaturally white. His eyes are staring and there are scratches on his neck.)
SORIN: Gayev, listen to me. Where are the sealed orders? You had them. Gayev, what's happened to them? Gayev! Let's take him to the camp. Move out! Move, move, move!
[Judson's office]
(Doctor Judson is sitting in a wheelchair and working at a logic problem on a blackboard when there is a knock on the door. The Doctor and Ace enter)
JUDSON: What in heaven's name!
DOCTOR: You must be Doctor Judson. Excuse the interruption. I've travelled a long way to meet you.
JUDSON: This is intolerable!
(Judson's nurse intervenes.)
CRANE: A little less excitement please, Doctor Judson. Remember your blood pressure.
DOCTOR: The Prisoner's Dilemma.
CRANE: You can't just stroll in
JUDSON: Oh, shut up, Crane. You're familiar with the Prisoner's Dilemma, then?
DOCTOR: Based on a false premise, don't you think, like all zero sum games, but a neat algorithm nevertheless, Doctor Judson. Excuse me, do you have any official stationery and a typewriter I could use?
JUDSON: On the desk.
DOCTOR: Thank you.
JUDSON: You're obviously also an expert in this field, but I'm afraid I don't recognise
DOCTOR: Ace.
ACE: Hi, I'm Ace and this is the Professor.
DOCTOR: Doctor.
ACE: Sorry, Doctor. Oh, wow! Have you seen this, Professor?
(The Doctor starts typing as Ace takes the puzzle from the top of a filing cabinet)
JUDSON: Put it down, child. It's not a toy.
ACE: I know it's not. It's a flip-flop thingy. We used them at school.
JUDSON: You understand it?
ACE: Yeah, it's a logic game, isn't it? You drop marbles in the top, and depending on what colour each window is, the marble follows a different path. You've got a logic diagram for it on the blackboard.
JUDSON: This is extraordinary! And you learnt about logic at school?
ACE: Mmm, Miss Birkett taught us in computer studies. She was well good. Can I borrow this?
DOCTOR: Two pens, please.
JUDSON: Crane!
(Nurse Crane hands the Doctor two pens)
DOCTOR: Ah, thank you.
(The Doctor crosses his arms and signs two names at the bottom of his fresh War Office headed paper, which says Sir, this is to authorise the entry of the Doctor and his assistant Ace into the naval camp. The signatures are those of Winston Churchill PM and somebody Menzies.)
DOCTOR: There we are. Come in.
(There is a knock at the door. Bates enters.)
BATES: I'm sorry to disturb you sir, but these two are unauthorised personnel.
DOCTOR: Unauthorised? We are here by urgent request of the War Office. I think you'll find this is signed by the Prime Minister and the head of the Secret Service.
(The Doctor hands Captain Bates his fresh forgery.)
BATES: I must apologise, sir. We weren't informed of your arrival.
DOCTOR: Need to know, Captain, need to know. Doctor Judson's work at trying to break the German codes is very important to the war effort.
BATES: (to Ace) We thought you were something to do with those East End kids. Evacuees.
ACE: I'm not from the East End, I'm from..
JUDSON: Perhaps you'd like to see the Ultima machine?
DOCTOR: The Ultima machine? Yes.
JUDSON: Ah, Bates, go and fetch Commander Millington, will you?
BATES: Sir.
DOCTOR: Commander? Well, on second thoughts, it's been a tiring day. Perhaps tomorrow, Doctor Judson. If you'll just show us to our quarters, we'd be grateful. Thank you.
[Maidens Point]
SORIN: Now, as soon as it's dark, we check the base. Petrossian, you check the shoreline in case anything gets washed up.
PETROSSIAN: Alone?
SORIN: It only needs one.
PETROSSIAN: Will you listen to me? There's evil here. Can't you feel it cold against your skin.
SORIN: Stop it! More stupid Armenian superstitions. You're supposed to be a soldier.
PETROSSIAN: So was he.
SORIN: You follow orders.
(Gayev is still alive, but shaking. Down on the shoreline, in the gloom, Petrossian finds the oilskin pouch and slits it open with his knife. Inside is a photograph of Doctor Judson and a map)
[Bunk room]
ACE: Ace! Bunk beds! Bags I go on top.
DOCTOR: Quiet, Ace. People are trying to sleep.
ACE: Sorry (Ace climbs onto a creaky bunk.) Is it all right if I go down to the cliffs tomorrow and do some rock climbing?
DOCTOR: Go to sleep.
ACE: Sorry.(The Doctor goes to the door.) Night. Where are you off to?
DOCTOR: Night air. Go to sleep.
(The Doctor leaves. Ace starts playing the logic game instead. Somewhere a baby cries. Down on the beach, Petrossian sees something approaching him. He drops his rifle and runs.)
[Perimeter fence]
(Young Perkins jumps when the Doctor comes up behind him.)
PERKINS: Oh, it's you, sir. Thank goodness. I thought..
DOCTOR: Eyes. Eyes watching.
(Sorin makes his way along the outside of the fence, noting the patrols. Down by the water, Petrossian gets trapped against the cliff by his pursuer. He screams)
[Outside St Jude's Church]
(It is after morning service, and the vicar of the parish is speaking to his parishioners as they leave the church)
WAINWRIGHT: Thank you so much. What a lovely day. Miss Hardaker.
(The perennial hard-nosed spinster, who could easily play the Wicked Witch of the West without makeup.)
HARDAKER: Your sermon, Mister Wainwright.
WAINWRIGHT: Yes?
HARDAKER: There's no doubt about it, Mister Wainwright, of course we'll win the war. Right is on our side.
WAINWRIGHT: I don't think that right is on anyone's side in war, Miss Hardaker.
HARDAKER: Your father would turn in his grave to hear such words. When he was vicar of this parish, there was respect for the Good Book.
WAINWRIGHT: I think that faith is more than just words.
HARDAKER: In plain language, doubt and indecision.
WAINWRIGHT: Miss Hardaker..
(The Doctor and Ace rescue him.)
DOCTOR: Pardon me. I wonder if you could help me. I'm looking for Doctor Judson.
WAINWRIGHT: Oh, I think you'll find him still working in the crypt. If you'd like to follow me. Er, good day, Miss Hardaker. This way.
(The Doctor and Reverend Wainwright to into the church. Ace speaks to a couple of young women.)
ACE: Who's the old gargoyle? Friend of yours?
JEAN: She's the old bag we've been billeted with.
ACE: Come again?
JEAN: We've been evacuated.
PHYLLIS: We're from London.
ACE: Oh, so am I.
HARDAKER [OC]: Come along, girls. Time we were moving.
ACE: Okay, see you later.
PHYLLIS: Where?
ACE: What about over there?
(Ace spots a sign post saying a distance of two miles to -)
PHYLLIS: Maidens Point. Oh, well, that rules me and Jean out for a start. See you.
ACE: See you, girls. Bye.
[Millington's office]
(Commander Millington peruses a document whilst surrounded by Third Reich insignia and even a portrait of Hitler over the fireplace. Bates enters and realises he is interrupting.)
BATES: I'm sorry, sir.
(Bates leaves. Millington's concentration is broken. He gets up and goes to a chess board on a round table. The pieces are stylised Viking warriors like the Lewis chess set.)
[Saint Jude's church]
WAINWRIGHT: I can't see why he spends so much time studying old carvings. I keep telling him he's wasting his time.
DOCTOR: Answering questions is never a waste of time.
WAINWRIGHT: Surely that depends on the answers. When I was studying at Saint Andrew's..
(Ace joins them.)
DOCTOR: Nietzsche says..
ACE: We're not going to be long, are we, Professor? Only I've arranged to meet Phyllis and Jean later.
WAINWRIGHT: If you'll just follow me.
DOCTOR: I was having a good conversation.
[Church vestry]
(Ace follows the Doctor and Reverend Wainwright in from the body of the church, and spots the church's treasures.)
ACE: Hey, Vicar.
WAINWRIGHT: Yes?
ACE: You shouldn't leave all this silverware lying around. You're wide open.
(She picks up a tall candlestick.)
WAINWRIGHT: They're suspicious people in these parts. Too afraid of the old Viking curse to break in here.
ACE: Curse?
WAINWRIGHT: This church is built on old Viking graves. They say evil was once buried here.
[Crypt]
(Petrossian's body lies on the rocks, pale and with slashes on his neck. Meanwhile, below the main body of the church, Doctor Judson is making notes of some runes carved into the crypt wall. Nurse Crane holds a lantern for him)
WAINWRIGHT: Here we are, Doctor. This is the crypt.
JUDSON: Ah, Doctor. What do you make of these, then, hmm?
DOCTOR: Fascinating. Ace, look at this.
ACE: They look like Viking carvings.
DOCTOR: Viking rune stones. Ninth century, yes?
JUDSON: Ah, you evidently know more than I do.
DOCTOR: Well, it's the alphabet. The later Vikings used a sixteen character alphabet.
JUDSON: Don't tell me. The Ultima machine can break the most sophisticated Nazi ciphers. Some ninth century scribbling shouldn't be much of a problem.
ACE: Professor?
DOCTOR: Hmm?
ACE: What's that noise?
DOCTOR: What noise?
ACE: Like a machine.
DOCTOR: Organ bellows. Come on, let's leave Doctor Judson to his puzzles.
ACE: Yeah, okay.
[Outside Saint Jude's church]
ACE: Yeah, it was definitely some kind of machinery, Professor. Only don't bother listening to me, 'cause I'm only a mere mortal.
(The Doctor points at a large, tilted gravestone with dates from 1809 to 1898.)
DOCTOR: Look.
ACE: Yeah, graves.
DOCTOR: No, at the ground.
ACE: There's a slight dip in it.
DOCTOR: Subsidence. And since the grave was dug..
ACE: How do you know that?
DOCTOR: Well, either that, or they'd been at the communion wine when they'd put up the headstone. Joseph Sundvik. He must be one of the descendants of the original Viking settlers.
ACE: Look at the last one. She only lived thirteen days, poor little thing. (Mary Ellen Millington) You don't suppose it was that Viking curse, do you?
DOCTOR: Where did you say you were meeting your two friends?
ACE: Somewhere called Maidens Point.
DOCTOR: I think I'll go with you.
[Miss Hardaker's cottage]
HARDAKER: Maidens Point! Did you say Maidens Point?
PHYLLIS: I only want to go for a walk. Maybe have a swim.
HARDAKER: I know what girls who go to Maidens Point have in mind. You will never go near the place, neither of you.
JEAN: All right. Keep your hair on.
HARDAKER: You impudent child. Do you know why it's called Maidens Point? Because when you stand on those cliffs, you can hear the terrible lost cries of girls who went to that place with evil in their hearts. Girls who are damned forever. Yes, you mark my words. There's evil at Maidens Point.
[Maidens Point]
(The Doctor and Ace stand on the top of the cliff.)
ACE: I like watching the sea. It makes me feel so small. Oh, you'd think people would take their rubbish home with them, wouldn't you?
DOCTOR: What's that?
ACE: People come here for picnics and then leave their rubbish behind.
DOCTOR: It's not the kind of place people come for picnics. (They go part way down the slope to pick up the oilskin package and its contents.) Not ordinary tourists. Not English, anyway.
ACE: Germans? German spies?
DOCTOR: Look at the lettering.
ACE: Greek?
DOCTOR: Russian.
ACE: But the Russians were on our side during the war. We'd better warn them at the camp.
DOCTOR: I think they already know.
ACE: Where do you suppose the Russians are now?
DOCTOR: More to the point, where have they come from? From the north, like Vikings. I think I'd better go back to the church.
ACE: Church?
DOCTOR: Well, if you find churches boring, you can stay here, but don't go into the water.
[Decrypt room]
(Cousin to Enigma, the calculating machine takes up the length of the room and a lot of the width. Commander Millington enters.)
JUDSON: The North Atlantic U-boats have changed ciphers again. That's twice this month.
MILLINGTON: Can we crack them?
JUDSON: Hmm. It may take a few days longer. Oh, they're using six rotors now instead of five.
MILLINGTON: Get inside the Nazi mind, Judson. Learn to think the way they think. It's the only way to understand their ciphers.
JUDSON: The machine can do it, if you'd be so kind as to authorise it, sir. Thank you. Oh yes, the machine can do it. This is the first. In the future there'll be many more computing machines, thinking machines.
MILLINGTON: Yes, but whose thoughts will they think?
[Maidens Point]
(Ace, Jean and Phyllis are using a rope to climb down the cliff. Phyllis is nervous.)
JEAN: Come on, Phylly, don't be such a baby doll. You'll love it. It makes you feel all funny inside.
PHYLLIS: All right, but get ready to catch me.
JEAN: All right. Come on.
ACE: Get a move on, we'll be here all day. Here, I'll catch you. Argh, not that quick!
JEAN: You all right?
(Phyllis gets to the bottom a bit quickly.)
ACE: Want to do it again?
PHYLLIS: No!
JEAN: Oh, come on Philly, don't be such a baby doll. You should hear what they call her at school.
PHYLLIS: Jean!
JEAN: Doesn't your uncle mind you coming down here by yourself?
ACE: Who? Oh, the Professor. No, he's all right really.
PHYLLIS: That witch said we oughtn't to come here.
PHYLLIS + JEAN: There's evil in the water!
JEAN: Come on. Come swimming. Come for a swim.
PHYLLIS: All right.
ACE: Oi, wait for me!
(They don't see the pale corpse of Petrossian lying amongst the rocks)
[Church vestry]
(Reverend Wainwright is looking at an old book when the Doctor enters. He slams the door shut, making the Reverend jump and close the book.)
WAINWRIGHT: I beg your pardon. I didn't hear you.
DOCTOR: Possibly not.
WAINWRIGHT: What can I do for you, Doctor?
DOCTOR: I'd like to know the answer.
WAINWRIGHT: I'm afraid I don't understand.
DOCTOR: Afraid, yes, but of what? The Viking inscriptions? The curse?
WAINWRIGHT: Doctor, there are some questions better left unanswered.
DOCTOR: That may be so, but it's too late, isn't it? Someone's already translated the inscriptions.
WAINWRIGHT: It's probably all nonsense. Some records that my grandfather made when he was vicar of Saint Jude's at the end of the last century. He translated the Viking inscriptions. I wish to heavens he never had.
(Wainwright hands the book to the Doctor to read)
[Maidens Point]
(Jean and Phyllis are in swimming costumes. Ace stays on shore fully dressed.)
JEAN: Come on! Don't be such a baby doll.
ACE: No, swimming's stupid.
PHYLLIS: It's lovely and warm.
ACE: Anyway, it's dangerous. Look.
(Ace points to the large sign which reads Warning Dangerous Undercurrents.)
JEAN: Oh, you're just a baby doll.
(The girls swim off.)
ACE: Stupid.
[Church vestry]
DOCTOR: (reads) We hope to return to the North Way, carrying home the oriental treasures from the Silk Lands in the east, but the dark curse follows our dragon ship.
[Underwater]
DOCTOR [OC]: Black fog turned day into night, and the fingers of death reached out from the waters to reclaim the treasure we have stolen.
[Crypt]
DOCTOR [OC]: I carve these stones in memory of Asmund, Grimvald, Torkal, Halfdan, brave Viking warriors slain by the curse.
[Church vestry]
DOCTOR: We sought haven in Northumbria, and took refuge at a place called Maidens' Bay, but the curse of the treasure has followed us to this place. Maidens Bay?
WAINWRIGHT: That's Maidens Point.
DOCTOR: But I've just left Ace there.
ACE: Yep, but I'm here now, aren't I? What've you got there Professor?
DOCTOR: It's a translation of the Viking inscriptions. Look. And there's something I've just noticed.
ACE: What's that?
DOCTOR: Look. We hope to return to the North Way, carrying home the oriental treasure. Now, listen to this. (The Doctor takes out Sorin's secret orders.) Vozravschayetes ve Norwegious sakrovisichem.
ACE: I only did French O level.
DOCTOR: We return to Norway, the North Way, bearing the treasure. Now, let's see how Doctor Judson is getting along, shall we?
[Maidens Point]
(Jean and Phyllis have returned to a bit of sand and got dressed. Phyllis is drawing the stocking seam line down the back of Jean's leg.)
PHYLLIS: Hold still, will you?
JEAN: Make me look like Lana Turner.
PHYLLIS: You mean Betty Grable.
BOTH: Jane Russell!
(Jean spots a piece of metal on the ground nearby.)
JEAN: Here, look at that.
PHYLLIS: What is it?
JEAN: Ooo, it feels all funny and tingly. Here.
PHYLLIS: Oh! It's like electric (Phyllis drops it.) No, leave it. I don't like it.
JEAN: It's just a piece of junk. Come on, we'd better get going before that old bag starts wailing.
[Maidens Point]
(Above them, Prozorov has his rifle aimed at Jean and Phyllis as they start walking towards his position.)
PROZOROV: No closer, please.
JEAN + PHYLLIS: Alice Faye!
(They turn and move away from him)
[Judson's office]
(Nurse Crane is knitting when the Doctor knocks and enters.)
DOCTOR: Doctor Judson? Something here that might interest you.
JUDSON: What's that then?
DOCTOR: A nineteenth century translation of the Viking inscriptions, courtesy of Mister Wainwright's grandfather.
JUDSON: Really? (reads) Night is the time of the evil curse, and no man is safe alone. This is invaluable! The waters are most dangerous.
[Maidens Point]
JUDSON [OC]: The dark evil lies waiting in the sea. It has followed the treasure we stole (Prozorov picks up the piece of metal.) We cannot see it, but we know it is there, beneath the surface, beyond seeing, but it is there. (Prozorov throws it into the water, where a clawed hand catches it.) And one by one, our crew is being killed. (A Russian soldier is tangled in seaweed by the dragon boat.)
[Typing pool]
(Notice - Persons entering this room are notified that Marine Sentries have Orders to examine all passes. A H Millington. The Doctor and Ace open the door and peer in to see a group of WRNS with headphones and typewriters.)
ACE: I didn't know they had personal stereos in 1943.
DOCTOR: They're listening to coded German radio messages.
ACE: Oh.
KATHLEEN: Are you looking for someone?
DOCTOR: Ah, er, we're just being nosy.
KATHLEEN: Well, we're the girls, and I'm Kathleen.
(The Doctor and Ace enter.)
DOCTOR: Kathleen.
KATHLEEN: Hello.
DOCTOR: Hello.
ACE: Oh, look, Professor. A baby.(Ace slides a cot out from under Kathleen's desk.) Is it yours?
KATHLEEN: Yes, and she's a she.
ACE: She's lovely. Can I pick her up?
DOCTOR: You've got to excuse her. She's from Perivale.
KATHLEEN: That's all right. Of course you can.
ACE: Thanks.
KATHLEEN: Where's Perivale?
ACE: You don't want to know. Oh, now what do I do?
KATHLEEN: Just put your arm underneath her like that.
ACE: Yeah.
KATHLEEN: Get her head, and you're fine. You're fine. There we are.
ACE: Oh, Professor, isn't she beautiful? Oh, look at her little finger nails. They're so perfect, and so tiny.
DOCTOR: Yes. Every one a heart breaker.
ACE: What's she called?
KATHLEEN: Audrey. (Ace stiffens.) What's the matter? Don't you like it?
ACE: I hate it. That's my mum's name. Here.
KATHLEEN: Come here, darling. Audrey.
(Kathleen takes back her daughter, and Millington enters. The Doctor and Ace hide behind the door.)
MILLINGTON: Dudman, I gave you clear instructions the baby was not to remain on camp.
KATHLEEN: Yes, sir.
MILLINGTON: Well?
KATHLEEN: Well, I thought she could stay with my cousin, sir, only their cottage is too small, and I..
MILLINGTON: Twenty four hours, Dudman, or I shall have you dismissed from service.
KATHLEEN: Yes, sir.
ACE: (sotto) Who'd you think you are, armpit?
DOCTOR: (sotto) Not now, Ace.
(The Doctor and Ace leave, unnoticed)
[Outside the building]
(The Doctor and Ace watch Millington leave.)
ACE: Why didn't you let me sort him out, Professor?
DOCTOR: There are more effective ways. Look. (Ace keeps watch while the Doctor consults the Russian map.) Come on.
ACE: Where are we off to?
DOCTOR: I thought we'd have a quick recce in his office.
[Millington's office]
DOCTOR: Extraordinary!
ACE: What is this?
DOCTOR: This is a perfect replica of the German naval cipher room in Berlin. Even down to the files. Oh, dreadful man.
ACE: Commander Millington's a spy?
DOCTOR: Oh no, no, no, no. He's just trying to think the way the Germans think. Keep one step ahead. But he's done it so perfectly. Let's see what else they've got here. Oh dear, look at that. Pictures of cities being bombed, innocent people. Wait a minute. That's not right.(There is a photograph of a cricket team on the wall.) Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
ACE: What is it?
DOCTOR: The old school tie. It seems that Millington and Judson went to school together. That was before Judson had his accident.
(Ace sees the chess set.)
ACE: Why is everyone round here so interested in Vikings?
DOCTOR: Yes, why?
[Judson's office]
MILLINGTON: A girl? From the War Office?
JUDSON: She's a mathematical specialist. She understands the logic diagrams. And they found an old translation of those Viking inscriptions.
MILLINGTON: Let me see. (reads) I warn of the day when the earth shall fall asunder, and all of heaven too. The Wolves of Fenric shall return for their treasure, and then shall the dark evil rule eternally. This is it. The final battle between the gods and the beasts. It's now, Judson. The Curse of Fenric.
[Maidens Point]
(The Doctor and Ace climb down to the beach.)
ACE: I'm confused, Professor. I mean, what's it got to do with the Russian papers?
DOCTOR: Well, whatever it is, it'll be down here somewhere, near where we found those papers.
ACE: What are we looking for? I mean, is it big, or is.. (She sees Petrossian lying on the rocks.) Doctor.
DOCTOR: What have you found? (They go to the body.) Yes, not very pleasant. What's he holding?
(It is a piece of metal like the one Prozorov had thrown into the water earlier. The Doctor takes it and suddenly they are surrounded by Russian soldiers.)
