Episode One:
In an attempt to catch the train, the Doctor takes the TARDIS directly in
front of it, ready to materialise onboard when it reaches the correct
point. The dematerilisation sound begins as the train bears down on them...
Episode Two:
A frantic Turlough alarms Victor de Santos, and falls from the train in
the process. Doctor Hayashi shoots Victor with a tranquiliser gun, but
Ileana believes that her son is dying and begins to change as she
confronts Hayashi with murderous intentions....
Episode Three:
The Doctor challenges Stubbe in order to protect Ileana's people, and she
accepts him as her champion, declaring that if he proves worthy and
faithful, she will take him as her husband too...
Episode Four:
With Stubbe gone, Ileana is now free from him. The Doctor says his
goodbyes to her, but Turlough cannot see her at all. After they have
departed in the TARDIS a single howl rings out....
Pieter Stubbe: 'I stalk the Earth for eternity!'
Rosa Caiman: 'It'll soon be a fat moon again and there'll be
nowhere to hide from the future, when the Loups-Garoux come prowling.
We have to hunt them, before they hunt us.'
The Doctor: 'When you've studied humans as long as I have, it's
hard not to find them quite endearing.'
Ileana de Santos: 'How long have I tried to deny all that
darkness?'
Turlough: 'Go on Doctor, get in there!'
Pieter Stubbe: 'What fierce eyes you have.'
Pieter Stubbe: 'Once we have a scent, we never loose it. Don't
stray too far from the path because I'll be waiting.'
Turlough: 'It's there behind me. A blood red shadow. Is it my
shadow? It has burning, golden eyes.'
The Doctor: 'Discussing money's very vulgar don't you think?'
The Doctor: 'They say I'm a lot younger than I used to be.'
Pieter Stubbe: 'Tear off that pious mask and let's see the dark
side of your nature!'
Turlough: 'Is that what the TARDIS runs on, Doctor? Imagination?'
The Doctor: 'I never wanted to stay at home either.'
