"Right." So... Alright, he had the Master's plan mostly worked out and he knew he couldn't let it happen. But one step at the time, he would have to play along until an opportunity presented itself, especially since the man seemed to be close to accidentally cutting the wire just while he threatened. The Doctor took a deep breath and gave a nod. "Give me your coordinates then. And please, oh, please, take that knife a bit further away from the cable while you're just threatening."

It was at that moment that Jack kicked him and the Doctor's eyes widened. He moved forward immediately, intent on catching the Master if he could. In the end he just fell on his knees right by them, shooting something close to a glare in Jack's direction. "I know this is a stressful time for us all, but, please, Jack, could you not kick the man who has a knife right at the TARDIS?"
