TEXT: 5:50pm - 6:15pm [SCENE_BREAK] 1: EXT. PLAIN (A dry, dusty and sunlit plain; a warrior dressed in ancient armour runs in from the distance. He is called out to by another warrior...) HECTOR: Achilles! (This warrior is the larger of the two and wears studded leather armour and wields a huge sword; his helmet is in the shape of a plumed horse's head. He draws his sword. The other man, ACHILLES, is less strong but fleet of foot, and goads his pursuer...) ACHILLES: Over here, stable keeper! Barbarian horse worshipper! HECTOR: (Sneering.) Out of breath so soon, my light-foot princeling? Your friend Patrocolus fled me further, and made better sport! ACHILLES: (Angrily.) Murderer! Patrocolus was a boy. HECTOR: A boy? Well he died like a dog, whimpering after his master Achilles! Ha! Let me send you to him where he waits in Hades. Let me throw the dog a bone or two! (ACHILLES is goaded and they have a clash of swords but HECTOR is easily able to parry his opponent's thrust and the Greek jumps back.) HECTOR: What? So anxious to be gone? I would not keep you for the world! ACHILLES: Your bones would be the meatier, Trojan - though meat a trifle rough at that. Well all's one - they will whiten well enough in the sun! (Enraged, ACHILLES attacks again but the Greek realises that the muscle-bound ape in front of him has a small advantage in a straight fight. He turns and runs out of reach again. HECTOR calls after him as he tries to keep up.) HECTOR: Run, Achilles! Run! Run a little more, before you die! (The two running figures are tiny specks in the vast plain.) [SCENE_BREAK] 2: INT. TARDIS. CON
SUMMARY:
Missing episode When the TARDIS arrives on the plains of Asia Minor not far from the besieged city of Troy, the Doctor is hailed by Achilles as the mighty godZeus and taken to the Greek camp. He meets Agamemnon and Odysseus. Forced to admit he is a mere mortal - albeit a traveller in space and time - he is given two days to devise a scheme to capture Troy. Steven and Vicki, meanwhile, have been taken prisoner by the Trojans. Vicki, believed to possess supernatural powers, is given two days to banish the Greeks to prove she is not a spy.
