Retracting the sharpened blade back into its metallic case, Paul sighed as he brushed aside the leaves as they continued falling silently in the breeze, much to the amazement of Rebecca as she questioned how he's calm in this predicament.

Summing, Paul says, "Skills."

Sighing as she shook her head, her ruby red hair shimmering, the strands of blond fluttering, Taylor admonished him for his casualness before expressing relief that he escaped the trap.

Though, it presented them with another question.

"Why would he do this?" Rebecca questioned why Samuel went through the effort to set a trap for the face eater in this fashion, resulting in Paul glimpsing to the radio in his hand as he wondered that himself.

A jolt went through him and the women when he heard the radio coming alive on its own once again, but this time, there's a voice.

It was a man speaking Polish, Rebecca translated for Paul and Taylor as the man spoke through it, seemingly watching them from somewhere in the forest.

"What the hell?" Rebecca translated, "who the hell are you people?"

With her help, Paul described his and Taylor's reasoning for being in the forest, searching for the face eater, causing the man to snort as he uttered, "Stupid foreigners, always have to get invovled with something they shouldn't!"

He's curious when Rebecca responded she wanted to find the doctor that's supposed to live in the forest.

"Stupid girl!" The man insulted her without hesitation, "always the same things with them!"

The voice on the other end of the radio found it laughable that Rebecca gone out to the forest looking for the doctor said to live somewhere inside it, mocking her "and the others" for risking their lives for fruitless endeavours.

Glimpsing around, Paul inquired through Rebecca if the voice on the other end's Samuel, to his relief, the voice confirmed that it's Samuel.

"You have any idea how hard it was to get that netting set up?" Samuel didn't take Paul's use of his knife cutting himself out of the netting fondly, stating that it took him longer than it should to prepare it.

Sighing as he bit his tongue, Paul insisted, "We found your metal detector, what happened?"

Rebecca translated the epic regaled by Samuel as he explained how the face hunter finally stopped hiding in the shadows and finally confronted him.

He managed to escape it, but without his metal detector, he's blind as a bat, incapable of walking no more than an inch before backtracking out of fear of setting off a hidden landmine.

"What is this face eater?" Paul wanted to know more about the face eater Samuel's been searching for, enough to risk his life entering the forest.

Samuel explained that he'd been tracking the face eater for quite some time, he couldn't catch no more than a floating glimpse half the time, until now, when it surprised him.

It's stronger than it looked, Samuel likened to the struggle of it latching onto his metal detector as a tug of war, only the face eater has the strength of ten men or maybe more.

"What does it look like?" Paul inquired more about this face eater, hoping a general description from Samuel would be enough for him to deduce the identity of the face eater.

Samuel struggled, saying that he didn't pay much attention to the face eater, wanting to avoid getting caught by the long claws on its hands.

"Did you see its face?" Paul pressed for more answers from Samuel.

He heard back a stilted, "I… I don't think it has a face!"

Describing the creature as a pale featureless creature with long arms and a slender body, Samuel thinks that because it doesn't have eyes, it has acute hearing, hence why it can get around the forest without issue.

It can hear the landmines underground, pinpointing exactly where they are, allowing it to avoid them, hence how it found Samuel, it heard the metal detector.

A sharp hearing, Samuel says with the forest dead mostly devoid of wildlife except for the birds, the face eater can hear anyone or anything, even a pin drop.

An unusual creature, it didn't sound like anything Paul or Taylor come across.

It wasn't another arapulo, that much Paul instantly ruled out.

"Why do you call it the face eater?" Paul questioned Samuel's choice of words and he heard the response.

Stiltedly, Samuel expressed that the face eater "ate" his daughter's face, as he said in his journal before.

Though now, he wasn't sure what it did to her and why.

Upon discovering her slumped body somewhere in the forest after two days of scouring, Samuel found that her face was devoid of all features, barely an indention where the eyes, nose, and mouth would've been.

He likened the sight to the faceless mannequins in clothing stores in the larger cities.

Unfortunately for his daughter, she didn't die from her face eaten, instead she died from suffocation.

She was still alive after the face eater attacked her, only succumbing to her ghoulish transformation within painful minutes as her body went into full-blown meltdown as it's unable to breathe.

"Samuel, why was your daughter here?" Paul had Rebecca ask him.

Rebecca translated that Samuel's daughter grew concerned about her appearance, it worsened when she turned sixteen and having heard the stories about the fabled doctor living in the forest in some abandoned hospital, she snuck out of their home to venture out into the forest looking for the doctor.

Hence, why Samuel was quick to pass judgement to Rebecca searching for the same doctor.

"Where are you?" Paul asks him as he glimpsed around their general area.

Through Rebecca, Samuel said he's somewhere nearby, but he's restricted in his spot currently.

He gave the coordinates and Rebecca pinpointed them on the map and compass she brought.

A nod, Paul stated, "We'll find you. Stay where you are."

The radio goes dead as Paul exhaled sharply, he turned towards Taylor with a flummoxed look in her emerald eyes.

"It could be anywhere, Doctor..." Taylor nervously glimpsed around.

Having seen it once, it knows they're there, and it's waiting for the opportune time to strike at them, using the forest to its advantage.

However, it came about, it managed to make the forest its own form of trap, one nobody could readily escape if they weren't prepared.

Even then, it has the advantage.

It knew Samuel needed the metal detector and likely try to get Rebecca's away from any means necessary to ensure they cannot safely move around the forest.

"What is your goal?" Paul muttered under his breath before he switched to his Sonic Screwdriver, using it pinpoint Samuel's second radio, allowing them to triangulate it while Rebecca kept them alert for landmines.

While he walked, his Sonic Screwdriver droning, Paul instinctively kept Taylor close to him, Rebecca in eyesight, while his angel eyes scoured for any sight of the face eater.

On his mind, he wondered more about the creature, trying to figure out what it could've been.

It's intelligent, that much he knew, the TARDIS hadn't said anything about any unusual contacts in its log, nothing on the scanners suggesting a crash landing, or some species that lived underground.

This made Paul think about Rebecca's search for the doctor that lived in the forest somewhere and the pit in his stomach formed as he drew his own conclusion to what they're dealing with, but privately shared it with Taylor through telepathy.

"What's wrong?" Taylor saw how tense he became and he informed her that he believed there's more to the story than meets the eye, for now, they'll find Samuel and go from there.

"You think the creature's the one giving them their dream appearances?" Taylor summed what Paul was thinking and he affirmed that he believed it such, for what purpose he cannot say, but once they find it, maybe they can get their answers, then.

Taylor then asked, "What about the hospital and the doctor?"

Frowning, Paul responded with, "We'll just see, my dear. Come on, stay close to me."
