The Mind of Evil - Part Six

The Brigadier shows up and shoots Mailer before he can shoot the Doctor. U.N.I.T. quickly takes control of Stangmoor Prison. The Brigadier puts Sergeant Benton in charge of the prison and turns his attention to finding the missing missile.

The Doctor mulls over what the Master is up to before going down to check on the machine. It has broken the collar that was holding it in check. Barnham turns out to be the key to keep it from killing anyone else. It remains passive as long as he is very close to it.

The Doctor gets a telephone call from the Master. They strike a deal. The Doctor agrees to return the Master's dematerialization circuit in return for the missile. The Doctor brings with him Jo, Barham, and the machine in the van that he drives over to the hangar where the Master and the missile can be found.
