Adam enters the lobby outside the Cage, followed by Rose. 

Bywater: Hold it right there! 

Adam: Level three access. Special clearance from Mr Van Statten. 

They pass Simmons and enter the Cage. Rose stares at the Dalek. 

Adam: Don't get too close... 

Rose walks slowly up to the Dalek and peers into its eyepiece. It watches her. 

Rose: Hello? 

The Dalek simply continues to watch her. Rose is innocently concerned. 

Rose: Are you in pain? My name's Rose Tyler. I've got some friends, they can help. They're called the Doctor and the Warden. What's your name? 

Dalek: Yes. 

Rose: What? 

The Dalek raises its eyepiece to look into her face. 

Dalek: I am in pain. They tortured me. But still they fear me. Do you fear me? 

Rose: No. The Dalek lowers its eyepiece. 

Dalek: I am dying. 

Rose: No, we can help! 

Dalek: I welcome death. But I am glad... that before I die... I met a human who was not afraid. 

Rose looks overwhelmed with sadness and pity. 

Rose: Isn't there anything I can do? 

Dalek: My race is dead. I shall die alone. 

Rose has tears in her eyes. She places a hand gently on the Dalek. 

Adam: Rose, no! 

The place where Rose has put her hand suddenly burns bright orange and she snatches her hand away from the heat. The Dalek's tone changes. 

Dalek: Genetic material extrapolated, initiate cellular reconstruction! 

It bursts out of its chains with a new lease of life. Sparks fly from it. Simmons enters the room. 

Simmons: What the hell have you done? 

He approaches the Dalek. It points a sucker at him. 

Simmons: Whatcha gonna do? Sucker me to death? 

The Dalek proceeds to do just that. It places the sucker over Simmons face and we hear his skull cracking as it sucks inwards. Rose and Adam rush outside.

Rose: It's killing him! Do something! 

Bywater: Condition red! Repeat, condition red! This is not a drill! 

Van Statten, still with the Warden looks up, as does the Doctor, who is sweating with the pain. 

The Warden: Release us if you want to live.

The Doctor, Van Statten, The Warden, Goddard and Van Statten's security guards exit the lift and enter Van Statten's office. The Doctor addresses a monitor where there is a communication link to the lobby. 

The Doctor: You've got to keep it in that cell. 

Rose: Doctor, it's all my fault. 

Bywater: I've sealed the compartment. It can't get out, that lock's got a billion combinations. 

The Doctor: The Dalek's a genius. It can calculate a thousand billion combinations in one second flat. 

Inside the cage, the Dalek places its sucker to the code lock and begins to run through all the combinations. Rose and Adam stand before the door with security, who are pointing their guns at the door. In no time at all, the door opens.
