[protesting against something] I... I will tell them. I will tell them. I... I'll do what you say. K-keep away. Don't touch me! I-I'll obey!
[a claw is seen on screen dragging the old man off]
What's that? What's happening!
Doctor, that was it? that thing in the picture! That was the claw! They're in control.
Take them out of here. They are condemned to the pits!
Macra!
Take them away!
They're in control!!!
The old shaft. Doctor, that's where Jamie is!
So they're going to pour this gas in the old shaft - gas they value above all else. What do you make of that, Polly?
For goodness sake, Doctor. What are you going on about?
Don't you see? Control are not pouring this poisonous gas into the old shaft to kill Jamie. They've quite another reason.
Doctor, you've got to do something to help him.
Before we act, we must think. Now, the Macra that have come to the surface of this planet have not found sufficient gas in the atmosphere, so they've had to get somebody to pump it up from down below.
But, if it's life and death to them, why do they waste it? Why divert it into the old shaft?
[thinking aloud] That's obvious, Polly, obvious. Because there's something trapped down there they wish to keep alive!
I really don't know why I trust you, Doctor.
Oh, perhaps I've got an honest face.
