Gun room
The Steward leads everybody towards the Estate's gunroom and starts handing out the contents of the gun cupboard to the men. The Doctor, who had refused to take a gun, removes the shackles from everybody's wrists using his sonic screwdriver.
"Arms, and you five," The Steward barks out his orders. "Ready, everyone?" The armed men all nod, while the women all look at them nervously. The Stewart then addresses Lady Isobel. "Take the girls. Get them out through the kitchen," He suggests, but Isobel hesitates and turns towards her husband, looking fearful but determined.
"I can't leave you. What will you do?" She questions him. MacLeish swallows hard in his fear and guilt but looks resolute.
"I must defend her Majesty," he tells his wife, grimly. "Now, don't think of me, just go." Isobel hesitates for a split second before nodding and pulling her husband in for a quick but loving kiss. She then turns and rallies together the housemaids.
"All of you, at my side. Come on!" She orders, and then she and the maids take off down the corridor towards the kitchen, passing by the Doctor, who was taking off Katy and Rose's manacles. All three of them were in the middle of catching up the Doctor on what was going on in his absence.
"It could be any form of light modulated species triggered by specific wavelengths," The Doctor theorised. "Did it say what it wanted?" Katy and Rose massaged their slightly bruised and sore wrists.
"The Queen, the Crown, the throne - you name it," Katy responded.
The Doctor's face immediately became grim.
Suddenly, there is a loud crash of something bursting through a wooden door. The Doctor goes to investigate and freezes when he sees the werewolf at the other end of the passageway. Immediately, he turns and runs back into the gun room and grabs both Katy and Rose, protectively.

"Incoming!" The Doctor announces, and the Stewart gives the signal.
"Fire! Fire!"

Kitchen
Isobel and the housemaids get to the kitchen and make a beeline for the outside door. But as Isobel twisted the knob to get it open, she found, to her horror and despair that the door would not open.
"It won't open. They've sealed us in!" Isobel realised. Flora, who was the closest to the kitchen window, looks out and gasps in fear.
"Oh, my Lady. Look!" She gestures frantically out the window with an outstretched finger as Isobel came to investigate what Flora had seen. Monks, dressed in their traditional orange Tibetan robes, and armed with the soldier's rifles, stood outside facing the backdoor. "They'll never let us out. They mean for us to die!" Flora whimpered.
