"Torchwood." "Outside the government, beyond the police." "Fighting for the future on behalf of the human race." "The 21st century is when everything changes and Torchwood is ready." "Gwen, we've texted you the location, we're querying four or five signs of life, definitely non-human." "Get here as soon as you can." "So, sure they're not Weevils?" "Don't think so, different energy patterns, can't make sense of it." "Not a species we've encountered before." "Let's hope they're friendly." "Owen, Ianto, take the other side of the building, check the upper floors." "Toshiko with me." "OK?" "Go!" "I'm getting mirror readings on both floors." "One creature at either end of the building." "Toshiko, split up." "Y'know, these creatures are very quiet." "Maybe they're sleeping." "Or hatching." "Or maybe they aren't creatures at all." "Just explosive devices." "Snap." "Shit." "'You have one message.'" "'Gwen, we've texted you the location, we're querying four or five signs of life.' Shit." "Oh, not again." "Ladies." "Torso of steel, shilling a feel." "Any takers?" "Bar fight, got a little out of control." "Flesh wound." "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Still not used to... ..these hangovers." "Captain Jack Harkness." "How long have you been there?" "Silent types." "That's OK." "I used to date a guy with no mouth." "Surprisingly creative." "Listen, you only had to ask." "Can we get a room though?" "When I said about getting a room, I meant somewhere with linen." "Time was, electrodes to the nipples meant the start of a good night." "Full power charge and still breathing." "Pretty advanced piece of equipment you got there." "You ladies are ahead of yourselves." "Now where the hell am I?" "Put that down before somebody gets..." "Why aren't you dead yet?" "Been trying to figure that out myself." "We've been monitoring you." "You've been killed 14 times in the last six months." "Feels like more than that." "Who's the Doctor?" "No idea." ""The Doctor, he'll be able to fix me"" ""When the Doctor turns up, it'll all be put right"" ""You wait till I see the Doctor." ""First I'm going to kiss him, then I'm going to kill him."" "Transcripts of your conversations with strangers, in various drinking dens, since you first came to our attention." "Y'know, no-one likes a smart-ass." "Tell us where he is and we'll release you." "Why do you wanna know?" "You're in Torchwood, Cardiff." "The Torchwood Institute was created to combat the threat posed by the Doctor and other phantasmagoria." "He's not a threat." "The Doctor's the one who'll save you from your phantasmahoojits." "Just tell us his location." "I don't know!" "He left me behind." "I came here to find him." "He refuels from that rift you have." "Hoping if I stayed here long enough, we'd find each other." "Now, can I go?" "No." "You can't keep me here!" "Oh, we can." "Unless..." "Yes." "Unless." "Unless what?" "There are opportunities here." "With the Institute." "I'm not for hire." "You're going to need currency." "What's the assignment?" "Missing person." "Well, when we say person..." "I haven't done anything!" "Burglaries, joyriding a horse and carriage, pick-pocketing, 24 instances of consuming food without paying for it." "I'll make it up, I promise!" "Ah, too late." "It's just a bit of fun." "This planet's a century away from official first contact with alien life." "You're upsetting the schedule." "Who are you?" "I'm Torchwood." "I said sorry!" "You can't lock me up!" "He's just a kid." "Send him back to where he came from." "If only we could." "The rift only goes one way." "What do you do?" "Observe and profile the species and then transfer them to long term storage?" "Why?" "It was a threat to the Empire." "Like me?" "You're our ally now." "If you don't want it..." "Your next assignment." "No." "I'm through with you people." "Your liberty is at our discretion." "Work for us, you assist the Empire." "Sever that tie, you become a threat." "And you've seen how we deal with threats." "It's good money, Captain." "How else are you going to earn?" "See what you think in the morning." "He's pretty." "But you're prettier." "Can I read your cards?" "No, thank you." "No, really." "He's coming." "The one you're looking for." "But the century will turn twice before you find each other again." "Oooh!" "Are you for real?" "You mean I have to wait 100 years to find him?" "What'll I do in the meantime?" "'Some parts of the world have already welcomed in the New Year." "'Our cameras, of course, have been out in force across the UK tonight." "'Let's take you first to Cardiff.'" "Hey, when you joked about the Millennium Bug," "I didn't realise it was gonna have 18 legs stacked with poison." "Anyone home?" "You know you're supposed to party like it's..." "Alex?" "Jack!" "Just in time." "Alex what happened?" "Who did this?" "Me." "What?" "Why?" "We got it wrong, Jack." "We thought we could control the stuff we found." "And what's it brought us?" "So much death." "What happened to them?" "It's good you're here." "Always did have great timing." "This place, it's yours." "Torchwood Three, my gift to you, Jack, for a century of service as field operative." "Give this place a purpose." "Before it's too late." "Please." "Alex, listen, it's gonna be OK." "No." "It's not." "It's really not." "I looked inside." "It showed me what's coming." "They were mercy killings." "It was the kindest thing I could do." "So none of us see the storm." "I'm sorry I can't do the same for you." "21st century, Jack." "Everything's gonna change." "And we're not ready." "Alex!" "He was dead." "I checked his pulse!" "He was dead!" "All right!" "Sh!" "Jack, what has happened?" "Where are the others?" "What is he doing here?" "Look, I was late, OK." "He gave me a lift." "You OK?" "Toshiko." "She went the other way." "VOICES SHOUT" "Toshiko!" "Toshiko!" "SHE SCREAMS" "Never thought I'd say this to anyone here, but you work too hard." "Another hour and I'm done." "Wish the rest of them thought like you." "Half past five, they're out of here like a pack of dogs." "You have a good evening, sir." "I doubt it." "Another late one, Miss Sato." "You know me, George." "Married to the job." "When you gonna let me whisk you away from all this?" "As soon as you clear it with your wife and grandchildren." "Always an excuse." "Take care." "Goodnight, George." "I've got it." "Get in." "I want to see my mother." "I want to know she's safe." "Now." "Show me the piece." "Oh, it's beautiful." "Perfect sonic modulator." "Toshiko, you've done so well." "Toshiko!" "You've got what you want." "Now let her go." "Except now you're the victim of your own success." "Perfectly situated, proven ability." "You can give us so much more." "SHE SPEAKS IN JAPANESE" "And what if I refuse?" "Then your mother stays with us." "And your brilliance is used against her." "Like this." "No, don't!" "Turn it off!" "Turn it off!" "My mother!" "Is she all right?" "Is she all right?" "'This is a UNIT facility." "Your rights as a citizen have been withdrawn." "'You will be held here indefinitely." "'We are not required to provide you with legal representation." "'Anything you say will be recorded." "'You will be allowed no communication with any person or organisation outside this facility." "'There is no right of appeal." "'If you fail to comply with the rules, we are authorised to discipline you.'" "Is my mother safe?" "'We cannot supply you with that information.'" "'Prisoner Sato." "Inspection.'" "What for?" "'Prepare for inspection.'" "Catering's as lousy as they say, huh?" "Where's my mother?" "She's safe." "She won't remember being kidnapped." "I wiped it from her memory." "I hope you don't mind." "You did what?" "!" "Really, just a little pill." "She'll never have known." "Who are you?" "Nobody." "I don't exist." "And for a man with my charisma, that is quite an achievement." "Are you a lawyer?" "Do I look like a lawyer?" "They're gonna make an example of you." "Stealing official secrets, in today's climate..." "They're going to keep you here without charge." "Forever." "They can't do that." "They're never going to release you." "I'm sorry." "You made this, right?" "I just followed the plans." "Yeah, kinda." "But first you had to grasp the concept of what a sonic modulator does." "Most people would struggle with that." "And another thing... the plans don't work." "What?" "The technical plans you followed, they were wrong." "They had mistakes in them." "That's why the plans were shelved." "But you, Toshiko Sato, you automatically fixed things as you went. .." "What I'm trying to say is... ..oh baby, you're good." "I mean, you're good now." "Imagine what you'd be like with a little training." "Oh!" "Shame you're gonna be locked up for so long." "You've got to get me out of here." "If...you come work for me." "Really?" "Give me five years, I'll get them to wipe your record clean." "They owe me a few favours." "What do you do?" "Protect people." "Least, that's what I'm aiming for." "It's kind of a work in progress." "What about my mother?" "Limited contact only." "You can send her postcards." "So what d'you say?" "Why would you trust me?" "Instinct." "It's going to be dangerous." "Think you can bear a little danger?" "SCREAMING" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Tosh, are you OK?" "You're making it worse." "It's pushing down even more now." "I think I've broken my arm." "Gwen." "Yeah?" "If this pillar shifts down even more, it'll crush me." "We're gonna need more strength." "Look, Jack has gone to find Owen and Ianto." "You're gonna be fine, all right." "You've gotta hurry, please." "Go help Jack." "I'll stay here." "Are you sure?" "Yep." "I'm going to come back for you darling, all right?" "You're going to be OK." "Gwen, this could've been you, couldn't it?" "If you hadn't been late." "I haven't got time for this now." "I've got to find the others." "Ianto!" "Ianto!" "Thanks." "No, thank you." "And you are?" "Jones, Ianto Jones." "Nice to meet you, Jones, Ianto Jones." "Cap'n Jack Harkness." "Lucky escape." "I had it under control." "You think so?" "It looked pretty vicious." "You're, um..." "You were bleeding." "Had worse from shaving." "Looked like a Weevil to me." "I've no idea what you're talking about." "I'll take him from here." "Thanks for the assistance." "Anytime." "By the way, love the coat." "Morning." "Coffee?" "Wow!" "I want to work for you." "Sorry." "No vacancies." "Look, let me tell you about myself." "Ianto Jones, born August 19th 1983." "Able student but not exceptional, one minor conviction for shoplifting in your teens." "Number of temporary jobs, mainly a drifter, until two years ago you join the Torchwood Institute in London." "Junior researcher." "Girlfriend, Lisa Hallett." "Deceased." "I'm sorry." "Look, you checked me out." "You knew what a Weevil was." "Thought I was gonna have to come deal with you." "I have the right qualifications for the job." "There is no job." "We're nothing to do with Torchwood London." "I severed all links." "Yet when it burned, two members of your team scavenged the ruins." "Don't want the equipment getting into the wrong hands." "And you're the right hands, are you?" "Trial period, three months." "No." "Three weeks." "Three days." "Let me prove myself to you." "I'll work for nothing." "No." "I saw what they did at Canary Wharf." "What am I supposed to do with those memories?" "You are not my responsibility." "And we're not hiring." "Same time tomorrow then." "There is no job for you here and there never will be." "I really like that coat." "Toshiko, see if you can decode those hieroglyphics." "Already on it." "Owen, take a cross section of the paramedic's brain, check it against the list of chemical agents." "Will do." "Susie, we're going to need to dredge the reservoir." "See if you can find the other half." "OK, this has to stop." "No, listen to me." "I don't have time for this." "I don't care what your problem is, I want you out of this city by sunrise." "There is no place for you here." "Go back to London, find yourself another life." "Keep stalking me, I'll wipe your memory." "No, but the thing is..." "Any conversation between us, no matter what the subject, is over!" "I'm getting back behind the wheel of that car and if you're still in the road, I'm going to drive through you." "You're not gonna help me catch this pterodactyl then?" "OK, that is the only special equipment you've got?" "Yeah, cos I keep dinosaur nets in the back of the SUV." "Torchwood London would've." "SCREECHING" "How did you find it?" "Rift activity locator." "Torchwood London." "See, quality kit." "Yeah, it's quite excitable." "Must be your aftershave." "Never wear any." "You smell like that naturally?" "51st century pheromones." "You people have no idea." "Ready for another go?" "I'm game if you are." "Three, two, one..." "Split up!" "We're not gonna harm you." "You can't stay here." "Come back with me." "I've got somewhere nice and big where you can fly around." "OK, so you'll let the pterodactyl in and not me." "We need a guard dog." "I can be that." "Like a receptionist." "Building maintenance, food and drink, dry cleaning even." "That coat of yours must take a battering." "Like a butler, I could be a butler." "We don't need a butler." "Excuse me, dried egg on your collar." "It was a busy week." "What exactly is your plan?" "I'm going to be the decoy." "And it will rip you to shreds." "Dinosaurs?" "Had 'em for breakfast." "Had to, only source of pre-killed food protein after the asteroid crashed." "Long story." "Here you go." "One injection to the central nervous cortex." "I'll keep it occupied." "Move." "No." "What?" "It knows me." "I'll be a better decoy." "No, way too dangerous." "No, I've got a secret weapon." "Chocolate." "Preferably dark." "IANTO WHISTLES" "I got your favourite, yeah." "It's good for your serotonin levels." "If you've got serotonin levels." "Whoa!" "Aagh!" "Whoah!" "Ianto!" "Sorry!" "I should go." "Hey!" "Report for work... first thing tomorrow." "Like the suit, by the way." "Ready?" "One, two three..." "Come on." "You OK?" "My shoulder." "I think it's dislocated." "Can you take this?" "Yeah." "Take a deep breath." "CRUNCHING" "Where are the others?" "We need your help to get Toshiko out." "Owen?" "No sign yet." "If anything happens he can't repair himself." "Of course, he can't heal, can he?" "OK, we'll help Rhys with Toshiko." "Let us know when you find Owen." "And be careful." "OK." "OK?" "All right?" "CREAKING FROM OVERHEAD" "Oh, go on, please, please, please, please, please!" "No, you don't even like her, ever since she didn't pay for her share of the Chinese in Leicester." "Yeah, but we want Julia to come and it'll look odd if we invite one without the other." "Oh, please, help me God!" "Three tables done." "Nine more to go." "You wanna back out?" "It's still not too late." "Listen, I'm marrying you even if it kills me." "OK?" "Good." "Do you want a cup of tea?" "Yeah, I'll make one." "I think I can manage." "Katie." "Yeah?" "Um, water." "Yeah." "From the kettle." "Milk." "Stop nagging me!" "I don't want to have milk." "I've never liked milk." "I want to have..." "Tea." "I wanna have tea without..." "Milk." "Tea without milk." "Darling, it's all right." "It's all right." "I got your invitation." "Still going ahead?" "I promised her a summer wedding." "Before all this." "This changes nothing." "Owen, it will change everything." "You don't know for certain." "We've been through Kate's test results more times than any patient in my whole career." "All the evidence suggests she has early onset Alzheimer's." "The youngest case in medical history." "It doesn't mean we're wrong." "Please... run more tests." "Let's just try one more MRI scan." "An MRI isn't going to make any difference." "You don't know that." "You have said yourself that this is unlike any case that you've seen, and maybe you've missed something." "Owen..." "You don't understand, Jim, OK." "One day she's fine, she's perfect memory, the old Katie, and the next there's nothing, she's blank." "Now, I am losing her and I don't know what to do about that, OK?" "So please." "What's the point of me doing this job if I can't help my own fiancee?" "I'll see what I can do." "Thank you, Jim." "It's like being lost, in a place you know really well, but you can't get your bearings." "Sometimes it comes back to you." "And sometimes..." "I'm sorry, Owen." "What've you got to be sorry for?" "I don't want to put you through this." "Last night, I dreamt that you left me." "Oh, come on." "Nobody's leaving anyone." "How is that possible?" "We don't know." "I've never seen anything like it." "It's not the brain deteriorating." "It's a clear physical tumour." "That wasn't there last week?" "Not that we saw." "You were right to ask for another scan." "So what do we do now?" "We have to view this as good news." "Katie, we need to take you into surgery, soon as possible, and remove the tumour." "D'you understand?" "Katie." "I can't remember your name." "Are you sure she's up to this?" "We're going to do everything we can for her." "I'm sorry." "Who the hell are you?" "You should prepare for the worst." "No, you can't go in there." "Oh, my God!" "Katie." "What is it?" "I'm sorry." "I tried to stop them." "She's dead." "That thing in her head is an alien life form." "It incubates in the brain, disrupting the shape and functions." "When it's attacked or threatened, it emits a toxic gas that's fatal to humans." "It clears pretty quickly." "She can't be dead." "She can't be dead." "I'm calling, calling the police." "Tell them that Torchwood is already here and dealing with it." "That'll save them a call-out." "I need to take her brain back with me." "Don't touch her!" "How are you feeling?" "Where is she?" "Where's who?" "Katie." "Katie Russell, she's a junior doctor, she works here, we're about to get married." "Let's get you back into bed." "Get off me." "Where is she?" "Where is she?" "Where is she?" "!" "Where is she?" "!" "He was wearing a military uniform." "He had an American accent." "We have checked all the security footage." "There was no such man." "Jim Garrett was poisoned by some alien toxin, by some..." "Jim Garrett was in a car accident." "The American said that he wanted her brain, that there was... alien creature, or..." "This happened, OK?" "This is not some trauma or delayed grief or whatever you're scribbling down." "Katie's tumour was inoperable." "There was nothing anyone could have done." "This is just wrong." "I'm giving you three months prescribed rest." "Don't come into work." "Yeah!" "This isn't right." "He was there." "It wasn't just me." "He was there too." "That is not what happened!" "That is...not what happened." "You!" "You could've saved her!" "You could've saved her!" "You could've...saved her!" "I couldn't." "I really couldn't." "If you're not a figment of my imagination, then I don't know what's happening any more." "Maybe this is... what a mental breakdown feels like." "You're fine." "It's the rest of the world that's delusional." "Why her?" "There's no reason." "Your life doesn't end with her." "What are you gonna do now?" "Go back to work?" "See echoes of her in every corridor?" "You need a purpose." "I'm building something." "I need a medic." "And you want me?" "You made them take more scans." "You kept trying to track me down." "You don't give up easily." "I need someone like that to work with me in Cardiff." "To fight aliens." "Exactly." "Look..." "I dunno what happened to Katie and I dunno who you really are, but there is no such thing as aliens." "You think?" "I'm having a breakdown." "Mental collapse." "Owen, why did you become a doctor?" "I thought if I could save one life, mine would be worthwhile." "But you save one..." "and there's another." "And another." "All clawing at you, demanding to be saved." "And even if you do succeed, you can never save enough." "Maybe here you can." "How are the others?" "All right." "Careful!" "If that falls..." "OK, it's not going to fall..." "OK." "Just be very careful." "OK, all right, all right." "We're gonna get you out." "OK, this one?" "Look, if you do it very, very gently..." "OK." "It isn't going to drop on you." "Whoah!" "Quiet." "OK, sorry." "I'm going to do this as quickly as possible." "Listen to me." "I'm going to get you out of this." "Look at me, trust me." "OK, hold my hands." "Sorry." "Hold my hands!" "You OK?" "You all right?" "Tosh, what happened?" "Broken arm, bruised ribs, about an inch away from being crushed by a girder." "You were lucky." "We all were." "Jack, who's done this?" "And where's the SUV?" "Oh, no." "Jack, what does he want?" "Oh, deja vu!" "Or did I say that already?" "Hey, team." "Course, there might be a few less of you by now." "Don't know if you liked my little gift." "Course, you can't die." "And with all that life, all that time, you can't spare any for me." "Oh!" "Say hi to the family." "No...it can't be." "Been a while since you've seen your brother, eh, Jack." "Gray?" "OK, here's what's going to happen." "Everything you love, everything you treasure will die." "I'm going to tear your world apart," "Captain Jack Harkness, piece by piece." "Starting now." "Maybe now you'll wanna spend some time with me." "This was a targeted attack." "The beast killed the four most senior officers." "If it gets out what happened there'll be city-wide panic." "Let's get ourselves a good view." "What have you done?" "We're going to put the city back together, find Jack...and punish John." "It's completely crippled us." "You're no fun." "Owen, get out of there." "What have you done with my brother?" "This is going to get nasty." "What if this is how it ends?"
