Scene 1
After a running a while, they come to a clearing. In the middle of it, they see a large
silver object.
Doctor: That must be it!
Bruce: Cool!
Suddenly, they hear several howls behind them. They spin around, and see a pack of
coyotes, snarling at them.
Bruce: I thought these things only came out at night.
Doctor: So did I.
The coyotes start inching towards them. The one in the lead gestures towards the object
with his nose.
Doctor: I think he wants us to go inside.
Bruce: You think?
The Doctor presses the circle, and the two are led inside. They go down the elevator,
and down a winding hallway.
Bruce: I wonder where they're taking us.
Doctor: I don't know, but I think we're about to meet whoever is behind this.
At length, they come to the room with the two computers.
Computer 1: Ah, Doctor! You've changed!
Doctor: Have we met?
Computer 1: Oh, now, Doctor! Has it really been that long?
Computer 2: Maybe he'll recognise me! It has been a long time since he saw you, but I'm
more recent.
Doctor: Who are you?
Computer 1: I'll give you a hint. We're one and the same person, just different
incarnations.
Doctor: You're Timelords?
Computer 2: Not just any Timelords!
Doctor: Well, only one comes to mind, and he got sucked into the Eye of Harmony!
Computer 1: Humor us. Who are you thinking of?
Doctor: The Master?
Computer 2: Very good indeed. Yes, we are both the Master. It takes time, Doctor, but
eventually, you get there.
Doctor: But I saw you fall into the Eye!
Master 1: Yes, I heard about that. Well, we're from before that. I am the Master you
knew during your exile on earth.
Master 2: And I'm the one who stole Tremas' body. I managed to escape the planet of the
Cheetah People before it blew up, but I was still infected with the disease that was
turning me into one of them. Luckily, I chanced upon this vessel. I decided to implant
my mind into one of the two supercomputers here, and then steal a body when one came
along. Of course, one computer was already occupied.
Master 1: I had come here about two weeks before, after you left me with the Axons. I
escaped, but my TARDIS was badly damaged, and in my search for a habitable planet where
I could fix it, I came upon this mysterious, abandoned vessel, with it's two magnificent
computers. I decided to implant my mind into this computer, in case I didn't find a good
place to repair my TARDIS, then I could steal a body when one came around. Together, we
decided to build two perfect bodies by stealing parts. Of course, the disappearing cats
was just a form of self defense on the part of the coyotes to keep them from being found
out, but then we decided to install their superior sensory apparatus into the bodies.
Doctor: Yes, I was going to ask that, thanks for reminding me. How did you get the
coyotes to do your bidding?
Master 2: I'll field that question. Because I was infected with the Cheetah disease, I
found I could communicate with many of the wild beasts of this world. I've always
admired the independence and ferocity of the coyote, as well as their adeptness at
gnawing things off, so I summoned a whole bunch from the southwest of this country after
the ship landed here.
Master 1: And now, that you've arrived, we can split your remaining regenerations between
us.
Doctor: But I have five left. Which one of you gets the extra one?
Master 1: (to Master 2) I guess that would be you, seeing as you're already living on
borrowed time, while I still have a couple of regenerations left.
Master 2: If you insist. You see, Doctor, you can try to get us to squabble, but we have
too much in common to fight, unlike you, who hates all of your other incarnations.
Master 1: Well, I think it's time to lock you two up. First of all, though, we'd better
scan you for that sonic screwdriver. We wouldn't want you getting out, now would we? (a
red beam runs up and down the Doctor, and finds nothing) Where is it? Where is your
sonic screwdriver?
Doctor: Oh, I must have left it in the TARDIS.
Master 2: Don't give us that! You never go anywhere without it! We'll search your
companion! (the red beam goes up and down Bruce, and again finds nothing) WHERE IS IT?
Doctor: I was repairing it, and I must have left it in the TARDIS.
Master 1: Look, it's obvious he really did. He was absent minded when I knew him. Take
him away!
The Doctor and Bruce are led down a hallway by the coyotes.
Scene 3
Officer Schwarz is stepping up to Mrs. Morse's door. He knocks on it, and she answers
it.
Mrs. Morse: Yes?
Officer Schwarz: Mrs. Morse?
Mrs. Morse: Yes.
Officer Schwarz: I'm Officer Schwarz. We spoke on the telephone this morning.
Mrs. Morse: Oh, yes. Have you found my husband yet?
Officer Schwarz: Uh, well, see here's the thing. We found a body in the woods with his
arms torn off, and we need you to come with us to the city morgue to see if maybe you can
identify him.
Mrs. Morse: Oh, my god! Okay, I'll come with you.
Officer Schwarz: Yes, thank you, Mrs. Morse. It might not be your husband, we don't
know.
Scene 4
The Doctor and Bruce are led into their cell, and the door is locked with another nose
press against a circle. The Doctor waits until the coyotes are out of earshot, and then
speaks.
Doctor: Alright, where do you have my sonic screwdriver?
Bruce: I don't know what you're talking about.
Doctor: Bruce, they can't hear us, they're too far away, and there's no surveillance in
here.
Bruce: You sure?
Doctor: Positive.
Bruce: Okay. (takes off shoe, pulls out SS) When you said you suspected you knew this
guy, I figured he'd know about this thing, so I took it out of your pocket when you
weren't looking, and hid it in my shoe. When the Master scanned me, I thought for sure
he'd find it, but I guess those things aren't designed for reading that low.
Doctor: Yes, well, this ship is fairly primitive. Gimme. (Bruce gives it to him, he
opens the door with it) Okay, let's go. (they both leave)
Scene 5
Officer Schwarz is showing Mrs. Morse into the room in the morgue where the body is.
Officer Schwarz: Okay, Mrs. Schwarz, (opening drawer) can you identify this man?
Mrs. Morse: (after looking awhile) No, I'm sorry, this isn't him. Oh, thank god!
Officer Schwarz: Okay, thank you, Mrs. Morse.
Mrs. Morse: No, thank you. I'm just glad it isn't him.
Officer Schwarz: But if it isn't him, that means he's still missing.
Scene 6
The Doctor and Bruce are running down the hallway, trying to find an elevator.
Bruce: Do you know where we're going?
Doctor: Of course I do!
Bruce: Well, could you tell me?
Doctor: I was keeping track when we were being led down the hall. There
was an elevator right after the room where the Masters were.
They come to the elevator, and the Doctor presses the circle. The door opens and there
are three coyotes waiting for them. One of the Masters' voices is heard coming from a
speaker in the ceiling.
Master 2: I knew you had that thing hidden away somewhere, and I knew you would try to
escape. And now both of you will die.
