02
The Doctor, Steven and Dodo have landed on a planet populated by highly advanced city-dwellers and mysterious savages.


03
Dodo wanders off during a guided tour of the city, but is soon approached by a savage who makes his way towards her with his arms outstretched.


04
Dodo lets out a terrified scream, but the savage staggers straight past her and crawls towards the end of the corridor.


05
He trips a light beam, which activates a hidden door.


06
Noticing that the man is too weak to crawl through the door, Dodo cautiously moves towards him. She helps him out of the city and ducks back into the corridor when the door begins to glide shut.


07
In the laboratory Nanina is prepared for the energy transfer process.


08
Nanina's outstretched body is enclosed in a large glass cubicle.


09
A device is suspended over her body.


10
Nanina's cries diminish to a terrified whimper as the laboratory assistants initiate the next stage of the process.


11
The cubicle fills with gas and the transfer of energy begins. The vats behind Nanina begin to fill with black liquid.

Life-sucking process



12
The transfer rate increases and Nanina falls silent.

Life-sucking process



13
Avon, Steven and Flower continue to search for Dodo. In a nearby corridor, Dodo listens outside the laboratory, intrigued by the sound of the machinery within.


14
Inside the laboratory Senta operates the machinery while one of his assistants monitors the energy readings.


15
The machinery emits a loud hum as the liquid in the vats begins to bubble.

Life-sucking process



16
Jano boasts that the energy transfer process means that 'intellectual workers find themselves able to accomplish more. Artists are able to create works of brilliance and beauty.'


17
Steven rushes in to tell the Doctor that Dodo has disappeared.


18
Much to Steven's frustration the Doctor concludes that Dodo is more than capable of looking after herself.


19
Nanina weakens as the energy transfer draws to an end. One of the assistants notices Dodo watching them from the other end of the laboratory.


20
Dodo struggles as she is taken prisoner.


21
She is mistaken for a savage and prepared to undergo transference. 'No!' she cries. 'No... No!'


22
Captain Edal retraces Flower and Avon's steps in an effort to locate Dodo. Edal operates a lever and a door opens, leading to a forbidden area. Steven decides to take a look and Edal tries to stop him.


23
'Are you one of the people from beyond time?' Senta asks a furious Dodo before Edal marches her out of the laboratory.


24
Nanina is removed from the gas-filled cubicle with moments to spare.


25
'It must be some considerable time before we extract any more life energy from this particular subject,' says Senta.


26
Nanina stares blankly ahead as she is released from the operating trolley.


27
Flower is alarmed when Dodo claims she has been attacked by a mad doctor. 'What did you see?' asks Edal. Steven reassures him that Dodo has a vivid imagination.


28
Edal accuses Flower and Avon of negligence in letting Dodo wander off. He orders them to report to the Elders. 'Do not be afraid,' Avon tells Flower. 'They cannot harm us.'


29
A semi-conscious Nanina is carried from the laboratory by two assistants.


30
The Doctor declares that he intends to return to the TARDIS to collect some papers detailing his investigations into time travel.


31
He declines Jano's offer of a guard escort and leaves with Steven and Dodo. When they have gone, Jano tells Edal to follow them.


32
On the way back to the TARDIS the Doctor listens to Dodo's story and reveals that he doesn't trust Jano or the Elders.


33
Steven spots one of the savages and the Doctor decides to take a closer look.


34
Dodo recognises the collapsed figure as the man she encountered in the corridor. 'They have discovered a way of extracting life's force,' explains the Doctor, 'and absorbing it into themselves.'


35
'Leaving the victim as you see, almost dead.' The Doctor hands his RV instrument to Steven and tells him to fetch some medicinal D403 capsules from the TARDIS. Dodo goes with him.


36
As the Doctor ministers to the stricken savage he is approached by Edal.


37
'Why the concern?' he sneers. 'They're only savages.' The Doctor is furious. 'They're men,' he replies. 'Human beings – like you and me.'

The Savages are human beings too.



38
The Doctor insists on caring for the savage, but an angry Edal orders him to return to the city.


39
When Steven and Dodo return with the D403 they are surprised to find the Doctor gone. Dodo gives the savage some of the capsules.


40
'I'll aim for the man, you kill the girl,' says Tor.


41
'Revenge is no good!' says Chal.


42
'If we wait too long he will die!' says Tor.


43
'They will not let him die,' says Chal. 'They take their strength from the living.'


44
'Don't let them see you're afraid,' says Steven as the savages come nearer.


45
The feeble Wylda whispers, 'Do not kill them… they are friends.'


46
The savages are bemused when Steven tells them he thought Wylda was sick.


47
'She helped me,' says Wylda, pointing to Dodo, 'and the old man spoke against it.' He reveals that the Doctor has been taken to the city.


48
'I am going to oppose you,' the Doctor tells Jano, 'just in the same way that I oppose the Daleks or any other menace to common humanity.'


49
'You are standing in the way of human progress,' says Jano. 'Do you not realise that all progress is based on exploitation?'


50
'Exploitation indeed!' shouts the Doctor. 'This, sir, is protracted murder!' Jano orders the Doctor to be taken away, adding that he has 'special instructions' for Senta...


51
Steven and Dodo try to persuade the savages to help them rescue the Doctor.


52
'They have light guns,' says Chal, who predicts the Doctor will be subjected to the energy transfer process.


53
'So this is the place where you carry out your foul experiments, hmm?' says the Doctor as he arrives in Senta's laboratory.


54
The Doctor is horrified when Edal says that he will be the subject of the next energy transfer. Senta is similarly concerned. 'We can't transfer such a high form of life!' he protests.


55
'You have your orders,' says Jano. 'See that they are carried out.'


56
'I will not submit to your nauseating experiments,' says the Doctor, but he is prevented from leaving.


57
The Doctor is strapped to the operating trolley.


58
The assistants close the glass cubicle around the Doctor's body.


59
The cubicle begins to fill with gas as vaporisation begins.

Life-sucking process



60
The Doctor remains perfectly still and silent as the machines around him begin to hum.

Life-sucking process



61
'We've never done anything like this before,' says Senta as he nervously monitors the equipment.


62
'Point zero one,' calls out one of Senta's assistants. 'Point zero two...'


63
'It's impossible,' says the assistant as the readings continue to rise. 'He'll never stand it!'

Life-sucking process
