TEXT: THE POWER OF THE DALEKS 5:50pm - 6:15pm [SCENE_BREAK] SCENE 1 - CAPSULE INTERIOR BEN: Doctor, look! (Polly screams. The Doctor and Ben stare transfixed at the pulsating claw. Ben slowly moves towards the claw, but the Doctor quickly drags him back. The movement appears to alarm the claw - it scuttles back into the shadows.) DOCTOR: A light. A torch outside. BEN: Did you see it? DOCTOR: Quickly Ben, quickly! POLLY: What was it? (Ben rushes out into the laboratory to obey. Quickly glancing around him, Ben notices a strange-looking object on the laboratory bench. He walks over, and picks up a bulb attached to a long lead. Ben quickly tests the bulb by switching it on and off. Satisfied with its condition, he drags the lead into the capsule. Ben's actions have been monitored by Resno, one of the Vulcan colonists. The Doctor impatiently snatches the lighting device from Ben, and moves cautiously towards the shadows. Ben tiptoes after him, indicating to Polly to stay back.) POLLY: Can you answer me? BEN: It was a sort of disembodied hand. A sort of claw. It was horrible! (The Doctor shines the light onto the area where the claw appeared.) DOCTOR: No. No, there's nothing. (Moving back towards the doorway, Ben notices a perfect circle on the floor next to the two dormant Daleks - the rim of another Dalek.) BEN: You were right - there were three Daleks. POLLY: Do you know what it was? (The Doctor shines the light down onto the circular patch.) POLLY: If there were three, who moved it? BEN: Don't ask me. Lesterson? POLLY: But he hadn't opened the capsule. BEN: Now he said he hadn't opened it. Lets get our facts straight. DOCTOR: Aha
