Object
Master's Pistol (Stangmoor Governor's Office)
The Master, disguised as Professor Keller, implies he possesses a concealed pistol during the standoff in the prison governor's office. He threatens to put a bullet through both the Doctor's and Jo Grant's hearts if the Doctor resists his demands. Vosper and Mailer stand ready nearby, but the Master controls the implied weapon's lethal authority. No visual details emerge; its presence forces the Doctor's defiance to yield amid Jo's captivity.
