TEXT: PLANET OF THE DALEKS BY: TERRY NATION 5:50pm - 6:15pm [SCENE_BREAK] 1: EXT. JUNGLE (The DALEK is now fully revealed. The DOCTOR finishes spraying it and passes his canister back to CODAL. He then gives the still casing a shake...) DOCTOR: Motive power - nil... (...waves a finger in front of the eye-stalk...) DOCTOR: Total loss of vision... (...looks round the midriff of the creature...) DOCTOR: Sensor plates not functioning... (...and gives the gun stick a few pushes.) DOCTOR:...and weaponry deactivated. TARON: You seem to know a good deal about Daleks? DOCTOR: Yes, well I've had cause to. (He taps the DALEK.) DOCTOR: This one's something new. I've never come across Daleks that have mastered invisibility before. VABER: They haven't mastered it - not completely. CODAL: As far as we can tell, they can only stay invisible for very short periods. TARON: Even so, it gives them quite an advantage. DOCTOR: Yes, a terrifying advantage. Have you any idea how they do it? TARON: Codal's our scientist. CODAL: They discovered it by studying the Spiridons. It's an anti-reflecting lightwave. Their problem is that to create the energy required, they have to generate fantastic power, so they can't sustain it for very long. DOCTOR: I see. CODAL: I'd like to investigate a bit further. (He puts his hands on the slats beneath the dome.) CODAL: Let's lift off the top so that... DOCTOR: No, don't do that! No, most Daleks have an automatic distress call. Even when they're deactivated, the transmitter may keep functioning. (TARON looks at CODAL who removes his hands.) TARON: Thank you...Doctor. (The two men smile an understanding at each other.
