Meanwhile Valentine is heard revealing to Carteret that he will be used for "restoration". The voices are calling out numbers which the Doctor recognizes to be radio signals and he believes the Tardis can locate the source. They catch up with him and he asks for help claiming that he is pursued by devils and a thousand voices. Meanwhile Turlough and Jeake decide to try to follow Flowers.

They succeed in summoning sounds that remind them of the death outside Holywell's house, the sounds seem to be a series of numbers.
Holywell, the Doctor and Hannah commence a seance in an attempt to locate the missing persons. Later Jeake and Turlough see Flowers leaving the club looking pale and apparently avoiding them. Valentine claims that Carteret had left after a few hands and invites Flowers to play with him and Poltrot. Flowers approaches Valentine and confronts him about Carteret's disappearance. This is dismissed by Valentine as gamblers' suspicion. In then Diabola club Poltrot is playing cards with Valentine and notes that Valentine never removes his gloves. Meanwhile Lovemore murders Cotton citing vengeance as the reason. Holywell tells the doctor that twenty-four people have gone missing all of them within a mile of the area of the Diabola club. Turlough it becomes apparent has fallen and injured his head but has been rescued by Flowers and Jeake. Holywell claims that he has been able to contact the spirits of these missing persons through his experiments. He notes that the dead man has numerous coins and promissory notes in his pockets and Holywell informs him that there have been a number of disappearances like Turlough's recently. Following the above altercation between Turlough and Cotton, Turlough has gone missing and the Doctor attempts to locate him. In an aside, to the background of screams of torment, Valentine is heard to comment that only a little time remains until his work is complete. Holywell blames himself as he perceives the death to be due to his contact with the ghosts. The Doctor takes this card and puts it into his Almanack. Before Turlough can fight Cotton to protect Fry they are distracted by a man running towards them as if persuaded by invisible ghosts and dies of shock with a playing card in his hand. Inside Holywell informs the doctor that has practical proof of the existence of ghosts and is in regular contact with them. Hearing her cries from inside and the Doctor being distracted Turlough comes to her rescue on his own. Later Ned Cotton (a drunken watchman) encounters Hannah Fry (who is Holywell's maid) outside Holywell's house and attempts to rape her. That evening, whilst the Doctor and Turlough are being entertained by Holywell, Jeake and Flower are robbed by Major Billy Lovemore (a highwayman) and lose their winnings from the previous night. It then becomes apparent that the protagonists are being observed by an advanced intelligence not from their current era. Whilst the Doctor distracts Holywell Turlough notices that a number of his books are connected with necromancy.
They are confronted by the home's owner a Dr Samuel Holywell who they deduce to be an antiquarian and so manage to explain their presence on the pretext that they were delivering him the Tardis to form part of his collection. Meanwhile in the Tardis the Doctor tries to educate Turlough in the esoteric rules of cricket with a 1928 Wisden Cricketers' Almanack and attempts to work out their time location from clues from the house they find themselves in. The following morning Valentine is heard to remark that he had good luck at cards the previous evening and inviting a down-at-heel school teacher to play with him the following evening. Carteret is later heard leaving alone furtively and acting "very queer". Carteret is then approached by Sir Nicholas Valentine (introduced as a scholar, landowner and astrologer), a sinister character, they agree to play cards. They argue and Carteret storms off claiming a desire for adventure and excitement. The programme opens to Jasper Jeake, Quincy Flowers and Edmund Carteret and a fourth playing whist and discussing the coming succession of Queen Anne in the Diabola club (an institution loosely based on the Hellfire Club).
