Torchwood 2x13

1. Torchwood.

2. Outside the government, beyond the police.

3. Fighting for the future on behalf of the human race.

4. The 21st century is when everything changes

5. and Torchwood is ready.

6. Explosive devices.

7. Snap.

8. Jack, who's done this?

9. Captain John Hart.

10. - Jack, what does he want? - Say hi to the family.

11. No way. It can't be.

12. Been a while since you've seen your brother, eh, Jack?

13. Gray!

14. Bastard John's taken our SUV.

15. Looks like he's driven it back to Torchwood.

16. I'm getting readings of rift activity all over the city.

17. Major rift flares at St Helen's hospital,

18. the police headquarters and the Central IT server station.

19. - Hey, Andy. - Gwen, you gotta get here right now.

20. - I'm serious, we need you. - Okay, I'm on my way, all right?

21. This is him, isn't it, this Captain John or whatever he likes to call himself.

22. Rhys, drop Owen at the hospital.

23. Tosh, Ianto, cover the Central Server Building.

24. Gwen, the police station and take me to Torchwood.

25. - You think we're all gonna fit in here? - Yeah, we're gonna have to.

26. Jack, these are traps.

27. So be careful, you know what he is capable of.

28. - What about you? - I'm gonna go reason with him.

29. He just tried to kill us.

30. I was the only one who could ever control him.

31. That's why the Time Agency partnered us.

32. Did you just say time agency?

33. Don't tell me that's based in Cardiff, too.

34. Why is he doing this, Jack? What does he want?

35. That's what I'm gonna go ask him.

36. Come on!

37. Sing along! It's our song.

38. We don't have a song.

39. And if we did have a song, it wouldn't be this song.

40. You're no fun.

41. Thank you.

42. I've been here quite a while. What kept you?

43. We all survived.

44. You know, if you're gonna set an explosion,

45. you need to be more efficient.

46. Oh, them.

47. They were just prototypes. Had to test out a theory.

48. How are they all, your little team?

49. What do you want?

50. Want you to know that I love you.

51. - Funny way of showing it. - No, seriously.

52. You have to understand.

53. I really do love you.

54. 'Cause this

55. is gonna get nasty.

56. - Andy? - They just appeared out of nowhere,

57. across the whole building.

58. They weren't human.

59. At least not like any human I've ever seen.

60. Half the station's in shock. Four most senior officers murdered.

61. Everyone is running around like headless chickens.

62. Whoa, Rhys, what are you doing here?

63. This is a crime scene, and a confidential crime scene at that.

64. If it gets out what happened here, there'll be a city-wide panic.

65. Rhys isn't gonna go blabber.

66. I'm keeping more secrets than you'd ever believe.

67. - Oh, like what? - Like a time agency based in Cardiff.

68. Oh, it's not based in Cardiff.

69. Brilliant secret. I ask, you tell. Well done.

70. - Bloody hell! What are they? - Weevils, they live in the sewers.

71. Tell me you're joking.

72. - Don't mind if I subdue them, do you? - Be my guest.

73. They killed the four most senior officers?

74. Almost like it was targeted.

75. Tosh, report where you are.

76. Just entering the Central Server.

77. No sign of rift activity yet.

78. This building houses servers for the military, police, NHS.

79. Even looks after the server systems for the nuclear station at Turnmill.

80. What problem did they report?

81. - Ghosts. In these server stacks. - How's the arm?

82. Owen gave me industrial strength painkillers.

83. Seems to be doing the trick. Ianto.

84. Devils! Blasphemers!

85. Pray to your heathen god

86. while in the Lord's name we cast you out.

87. - There we are, then. - Sorted.

88. Owen, it's Gwen. Do you have anything to report?

89. We got some activity in the basement.

90. Coming back from a fag break, saw the door open,

91. and there it is, chewing through the cables.

92. So I locked it in.

93. - Okay. - What the hell is it?

94. Short answer, it's an alien.

95. - Alien? - Yeah. It's called a Hoix.

96. The only profile we have is that it lives to eat, doesn't matter what.

97. Caught one in Barry last year.

98. In a kebab shop, he went through seven doner sticks in 20 minutes.

99. Now, you got the keys?

100. - What's that? - All-species sedative.

101. Now, food. You got anything it can eat?

102. - Only these. - All right.

103. Perfect. Wish me luck.

104. Hoixy, where are you?

105. Come on, porky. Come out, come out, wherever you are.

106. There you are. Look what I've got.

107. They're actually very tasty. Get a load of one of these.

108. That's it. Good boy, come to me.

109. Come on, that's it. Try one of these.

110. Okay.

111. You really are quite stupid, aren't you?

112. Comms and weapons have been removed in case you're wondering.

113. So no chance of rescue.

114. This is a little extreme, don't you think?

115. Oh, what, suddenly you're anti-bondage?

116. Why are you here?

117. Well, see, now you're interested in me.

118. It's always the same, nobody cares until you tie them up.

119. Number of reasons actually.

120. First of all, you were very rude to me.

121. - What? - Very rude indeed.

122. In front of people who barely knew me, you belittled me.

123. I can't let that go.

124. - You're serious? - Second.

125. You have all of time, eternity essentially,

126. and you still refuse to spend time with me.

127. After all we've been through together, after all I've done for you.

128. Where's Gray? What have you done with my brother?

129. You don't realise.

130. Actions, ramifications, ripples in a pond,

131. it's beyond my control.

132. - Beyond your control, please! - It is.

133. You need to understand that.

134. So, localise the rift storms,

135. a few short, sharp shocks.

136. - Don't touch those controls! - Oi! I'm working here.

137. If you don't want that again, keep quiet.

138. - No! - So...

139. I think I'm ready to find the vantage point.

140. - A little power and we're all set. - Hey!

141. Whatever you're planning, we're going to stop you.

142. Oh! Okay.

143. Go on then, stop me.

144. I hope you can.

145. Really.

146. No?

147. All right.

148. Let's go get ourselves a good view.

149. What the hell are we doing here? Now this is a good view.

150. I told you, no struggling.

151. I can make things right with you.

152. You don't understand. You can't ever make this right.

153. Attention, Torchwood employees. Evening all.

154. - Now, stop what you are doing. - Jack, what's going on? Are you okay?

155. Jack can't come to the comms right now, but if you leave a message,

156. I'll be sure and pass it along.

157. - What've you done to him? - No, no, wrong question.

158. You should be asking, what am I about to do to you?

159. Put Jack on right now.

160. Eye-candy! That was so masterful, so bossy, so basically powerless.

161. Get up to the roofs of your buildings, quickly now. Spit-spot.

162. - Why? - Owen.

163. Because if you don't, well, you'll miss all the fun.

164. Wait a minute, do I mean fun? Do I mean carnage?

165. I get them confused.

166. Are you running yet? No dawdling now.

167. Gwen? Where is she going?

168. What are you doing?

169. - I'm sorry. - No.

170. Cardiff, isn't it pretty?

171. Doesn't it twinkle so.

172. Take a good look.

173. Remember this, 'cause it all goes so quick.

174. Oh, my God.

175. Gwen?

176. Oh, God.

177. You've destroyed the city!

178. Hold me.

179. Oh, shit. Oh, my God. What do we do? What do we do?

180. Okay, get down there, keep everyone calm,

181. tell them to get every officer in.

182. Run!

183. What've you done? - It's okay. It's all gonna be okay.

184. Stop. Get off me!

185. Jack! Jack! Jack, can you hear me? Are you there, Jack?

186. I'm tracking a huge rift there, over at the castle.

187. It's been generated by the rift manipulator at Torchwood.

188. Tosh, Ianto, Owen, are you okay?

189. Yeah, we're fine.

190. - We're still here. - Me, too.

191. Good, okay, good.

192. Tosh, do we have the scale of the damage on the city?

193. Fifteen major explosions at strategic points across the city.

194. There's currently a surge in traffic trying to leave the city

195. but the explosions have cut off all major routes in and out.

196. Landlines, mobile phones and IT networks all down.

197. TV and radio off air. He's completely crippled us, Gwen.

198. Don't want to be the harbinger of doom,

199. but the systems which serve the Turnmill Nuclear Plant,

200. - have all gone offline. - Right, Tosh, Ianto,

201. you have to stabilise the nuclear power station. Make that a priority.

202. - Owen, what's it like at the hospital? - Lost all power.

203. The backup generators gave out in the blast.

204. Every single machine in this hospital is down.

205. It's a disaster.

206. Okay, all of you, listen to me.

207. We're gonna fix this, we're gonna put this city back together,

208. we're gonna find Jack and we're gonna punish John.

209. Now, I need you to be careful. Okay?

210. Where are you, Jack?

211. Where are you?

212. We're safe.

213. Now, before you do anything rash, you have to hear...

214. Take us back now!

215. No way. We have to be this far to escape the trigger signal.

216. - What? - Look at it. Go on.

217. It's bonded to my skin, I can't get it off. Open it.

218. - Whoa. - Ninth generation detonator.

219. You're a walking bomb.

220. Add to that a surveillance circuit to monitor my every word and action,

221. and he has me doing anything I'm told.

222. 'Cause if I don't, boom.

223. I'm not my own man. I thought you'd see that.

224. But oh, no, you're so self-obsessed,

225. you thought I'd wanna blow up your stupid city.

226. When I could be experiencing 17 simultaneous pleasures

227. in the Lotus Nebula.

228. Oh, no, just run.

229. Oh, please! That is the oldest trick in the book.

230. Jack.

231. Gray?

232. I never stopped believing.

233. Gray! Where are you?

234. I always knew we would find each other again.

235. I'm sorry.

236. Sorry is not good enough.

237. Get a shovel.

238. This was a targeted attack designed to cause maximum panic.

239. Usual emergency procedures won't cover what's happened here.

240. This is where we find out how good we really are.

241. Cover the whole city. Knock on doors, check on people,

242. tell people that they are safe and that it is being dealt with.

243. Get out there and do your jobs.

244. Bloody impressive, mind.

245. She is that, yeah. Lucky sod.

246. Go!

247. - It won't work. - Nothing, sorry.

248. We need to restart the Turnmill servers.

249. What if you can't?

250. - Then the reactor goes into meltdown. - I'm going up there.

251. But, Ianto...

252. If we can't fix the remote servers, there must be something I can do onsite

253. - to prevent nuclear meltdown. - That would be suicide.

254. Are we going to discuss it or are we going to do it?

255. Okay, but we both go.

256. I looked for you. I searched for you for years.

257. You were my first thought every day.

258. What are you expecting? A loving reunion?

259. Absolution? For me to say, "It's okay, brother.

260. "I forgive you."

261. Take Gray, keep him safe. I got to go get your mother.

262. Run!

263. Those creatures, they live to torture.

264. They kept us just on the verge of life.

265. I'd lie there, hemmed in by corpses, praying to become one.

266. Because you let go of my hand. Remember?

267. If I could swap with you, I would.

268. Gray. - Gray!

269. Where's Gray? Where is he, son? Where is he?

270. Gray!

271. - Remember it again. Gray, where are you?

272. I believed you'd come.

273. But you never did.

274. How long before you gave up?

275. Months? Years?

276. - Decades? - What do you want from me?

277. I want you to suffer.

278. I want your life.

279. This is Cardiff, 27 AD.

280. The city will be built here over the next 2,000 years.

281. Your grave will be the city's foundations.

282. Your blessing of life becomes a curse.

283. Each time you revive with a throat full of earth,

284. each time it chokes you afresh

285. and you thrash on the edge of death, you think of me.

286. All right, calling a halt now. Can't let you do this.

287. - Fill the grave. - No way.

288. Then the detonator on your arm gets activated.

289. What's that?

290. It's of sentimental value.

291. - Skulking, is it? - Still no word from Jack.

292. Hey.

293. - It's going to be fine. - What if it's not?

294. What if this is how it all ends? I can't do this, Rhys. I'm not up to it.

295. Rubbish.

296. Those coppers are out there now because of you.

297. Even if you don't believe in yourself, they did.

298. And I do.

299. You're a bloody hero, Gwen.

300. So you keep going.

301. Because we need you.

302. Will you marry me again?

303. Gwen, I've got a rift alert from inside the Hub

304. mirroring the pattern from earlier when Jack disappeared.

305. Do you think it could be him?

306. I can't check it out. I've got to get the Turnmill servers back online.

307. - Tosh, I can't leave the police station. - Yes, you can.

308. If they need you, we'll be fine.

309. Are you sure?

310. I'll see you when it's all over.

311. Go.

312. - You took your time. - On your knees!

313. Honestly, it's just sex, sex, sex with you.

314. Now!

315. Hands behind your head!

316. I'm going to need a really good reason not to shoot you

317. within the next 20 seconds.

318. - I know where Jack is. - You're lying.

319. He's buried alive somewhere beneath this city.

320. I came back to help you.

321. - You bombed this city. - Listen to me!

322. You have to believe me.

323. It's Gray, Jack's brother, that's been doing all this.

324. Don't talk rubbish.

325. He placed a bomb on me.

326. Molecularly bonded the detonator to my skin.

327. I had to do what he wanted. Look.

328. He forced me to buryJack and then he freed me.

329. He told me I could go anywhere I wanted.

330. I could have run but I chose to come back here.

331. Why should I trust you?

332. They were separated as children, Gray was abducted.

333. When I found him, he was chained

334. to the ruins of a city in the Bedlam Outlands,

335. surrounded by corpses.

336. He was the only one left. The creatures had long since gone.

337. Don't know how long he'd been there.

338. He thought I was the rescuing hero.

339. So, it took me too long to realise

340. he'd learned terrible things watching those creatures.

341. He let me trust him.

342. The molecules are un-bonding.

343. Just like he promised.

344. God!

345. See? Free man, apparently.

346. I didn't have to come back here, I could have run.

347. You find Jack, I'll let you live, but you better be quick.

348. Fine.

349. Toshiko.

350. I need you to run a trace for an etheric particle signal NME,

351. transmitting at 200 beta-cycles.

352. Gwen, where are you? What's he doing? Where's Jack?

353. Trace that signal. We'll find him.

354. It's okay, Tosh, I've got him covered.

355. Do as he says.

356. No signals even vaguely resembling that.

357. No, there must be. That transmitter was guaranteed for five millennia.

358. Through three ecological permi-layers, it has to still be transmitting.

359. If not, we'll never find him.

360. He'll be buried forever.

361. What the hell is that?

362. There's Weevils loose in the lower corridors.

363. Stay there, stay there.

364. Oh, my God. What's going on? How did they get out?

365. It's Gray. He must be here in the city.

366. He said he was going to take Jack's life,

367. destroy it from the inside-out.

368. A Weevil wakeup call could be just the beginning.

369. Stay there.

370. Owen, Gwen, can you hear me? The streets are flooded with Weevils.

371. They came out of nowhere.

372. There's no chance we'll get to the nuclear power station in time.

373. Manual life support. Get them round the hospital.

374. Ianto, leave it to me.

375. I can get there.

376. - How? - King of the Weevils, remember?

377. Now push, will you!

378. Have none of you ever been in a scrum?

379. Bloody hell! How many were there?

380. It's like FortApache the Bronx, innit?

381. Apart from the fact the surrounding forces are savage aliens

382. and we could all die, it's almost exactly the same, yeah.

383. Thanks for that.

384. I am telling you, I have run every scan possible.

385. There is no signal traceable.

386. Then try again, it's got to be there. Oi! I'm talking to you.

387. You know, you got a real pest problem around here.

388. God, I'm so pleased to see you.

389. Hey! Hey!

390. Don't start. I'll make things right, eye-candy.

391. Then start by getting those Weevils down the vaults before they recover.

392. Takes more than a bullet to stop them.

393. You did what? Ianto!

394. - I didn't have a choice! There's always a choice.

395. Okay! Can we just get these Weevils into the cells, please?

396. If we don't find him, I'll kill you!

397. Very slowly!

398. Whoa! What's happening, Tosh?

399. Tosh, Ianto, my comms are dead.

400. Gwen?

401. I let you go.

402. I gave you one trip. You could have gone anywhere.

403. A question of honour.

404. Gray.

405. You're Gray, right?

406. There's no need for this, we can help you. Just tell us where Jack is.

407. H is life's mine now.

408. Where's Jack? What have you done with him?

409. What have you done with him?

410. What are you doing? Get the hell out of here.

411. What the hell are you doing here, more like?

412. - This system's going into meltdown. - A soldier never leaves her post.

413. Well, you can now, okay? I'm with Torchwood and we're dealing with it.

414. Yeah? What do you know about nuclear containment structure?

415. Well, I'm only a layman,

416. but I'm presuming if you've run out of power

417. then the containment structure's over-pressurised,

418. the containment spray and cooling systems aren't working

419. so the fuel probably can't be cooled down, it's overheating.

420. So sooner, rather than later, there will be a meltdown,

421. and radioactive material will be released into the atmosphere.

422. Yeah? Roughly.

423. - Roughly. - Right.

424. You need to go.

425. Be careful, there are creatures out there on the loose.

426. Take this. It's a kind of mace.

427. Sounds more dangerous out there than in here.

428. Yeah, I'd say it's pretty much even. Go.

429. Thank you.

430. Tosh, you're going to have to help me out here.

431. I haven't got a bloody clue what I'm doing.

432. Okay. I don't want you to panic,

433. but the reactor's already hit the critical point.

434. Okay, you're telling me it's going into meltdown, aren't you?

435. And I'm in the eye of the storm.

436. Yeah, sorry.

437. Right, can you fix it?

438. - Of course I can, I'm brilliant. - Yeah.

439. I'm going to try and divert power from an auxiliary source

440. back to Turnmill.

441. If that works, I can talk you through restoring the coolant system.

442. Right, now...

443. Tosh?

444. Help me. Please.

445. Tosh, you okay? Are you there?

446. I've heard people say, " Death is such a waste."

447. I imagine it more as a relief.

448. Tosh, can you hear me? Tosh?

449. What's it like? How does it feel?

450. Are you afraid? Are you sad?

451. You can tell me. The battle's done.

452. What's that?

453. Tosh, talk to me. I need your help here, babe.

454. What's that banging? Something's wrong.

455. Never mind that. I have an idea.

456. I forgive you.

457. How did you survive?

458. How long since you first discovered it?

459. Three days now. Just one signal. Regular as clockwork.

460. But I haven't told you the best bit.

461. - I can track it to a physical location. - Where?

462. It's here. Twenty feet down, but it's definitely here.

463. Start digging.

464. Please, can we just stop with the questions?

465. We found you in a 20 foot grave.

466. - Do you want us to just accept that? - Yes, I do.

467. You're supposed to be out there working for us.

468. Who gave you this ring?

469. I've crossed my own timeline. I can't be allowed to meet myself.

470. A lot of lives depend on this. You'll be protecting the future.

471. That's what you're here for, isn't it?

472. And now I need you to put me in the morgue.

473. Freeze me. Set the alarm to defrost in 107 years' time.

474. I forgive you, Gray.

475. Don't you walk away from me.

476. Don't you walk away from me!

477. Stop.

478. Stop!

479. I've forgiven you! I gave you absolution.

480. - Now do the same for me. - I prayed for death!

481. Those creatures, the things they did to us.

482. Because of you.

483. The favourite son, the one who lived, who will always live.

484. The only strength I have is my hatred for you.

485. I didn't know. I didn't realise until it was too late.

486. I begrudge you everything.

487. I wanna rip it all from you.

488. To leave you screaming in the dark. I will never absolve you.

489. All of it, it's your fault.

490. I'm sorry.

491. I know.

492. I know, Gray.

493. Got it!

494. Sorry. - What have you done?

495. Recall signal. Time for all the pets to return home.

496. What happened? Where have they all gone?

497. Abergavenny?

498. Tosh? Come on, girl.

499. Here we go! Right, you've done it, Tosh. We've got power.

500. - You okay? - Yeah. I'm fine.

501. Right. What's going on there?

502. Just a... machine malfunction.

503. You hurt?

504. Who, me? No, I'm fine. It's just my arm.

505. Okay.

506. - I'm sorting out another painkiller. - Good.

507. Okay.

508. Well, come on, let's do this.

509. All right. Okay.

510. Oh, God. Owen.

511. - What's the matter? - There's no way to stop the melt.

512. It's too far gone.

513. Okay, okay, that is not good, is it?

514. Come on, Tosh. There's gotta be something, there's always something.

515. Come on.

516. The only option now is to vent the flow channels internally.

517. Vent them where?

518. The area you're in, it's a containment building.

519. Yeah.

520. You need to set up a time-delay program.

521. Channel the fuel into that bunker and instigate permanent lockdown.

522. Seal the building and the meltdown will be contained within.

523. And, obviously, remember to get out.

524. Yeah, I think I can remember that bit.

525. I'll open the system protocol. You just need to enter the timeframe

526. and authorise it, okay?

527. Okay, Tosh, let's do this thing.

528. And, Tosh,

529. thank you.

530. That's what I'm here for.

531. Jack!

532. Oh, God. Oh, thank God.

533. - We thought we'd lost you. - Never.

534. - Never. - Quite a queue for the hugs.

535. Always has been, always will be.

536. N ice use of the ring. Thank you.

537. It's the least I could do.

538. - Listen, Gray's in the H ub... - I know.

539. It's done.

540. Yes! Rock and roll.

541. Oh, no. Owen, get out of there.

542. There's a power surge in the system.

543. When that hits, it'll trigger an emergency lockdown.

544. No! No! Tosh! Toshiko, I can't get out!

545. Not like this. Not like this!

546. I'm not dying yet!

547. Get me out of here, Tosh!

548. Get me out of here! I've died once, I'm not doing it again!

549. Where's Jack?

550. Where's Gwen, Ianto? Come on! You wanna watch the dead man die again?

551. Owen, just stay calm.

552. Oh, why should I do that? Where's the fun in that?

553. I'm gonna rage my way to oblivion!

554. Please don't.

555. Why? Give me one good bloody reason why I shouldn't!

556. One good reason why I shouldn't keep screaming!

557. 'Cause you're breaking my heart.

558. I'm sorry.

559. It's my fault.

560. No, no, no. Listen.

561. No, it's not. Don't you dare go there, Tosh.

562. I'm really sorry.

563. What's gonna happen to me, Tosh?

564. I can't.

565. Please, okay? I need to know.

566. The containment chamber will be flooded with the irradiated coolant.

567. Oh, my body will slowly decompose as I watch.

568. I should have been able to stop it.

569. Shh.

570. Come on, Tosh.

571. There's no way you could have anticipated that power spike. Come on.

572. Besides, you've saved my back so many times in the past.

573. Right from the moment I joined.

574. Second week. I had to cover for you.

575. Pretend I was a medic,

576. 'cause you were hungover and unreachable.

577. - What was it? Space Pig? - Space Pig.

578. Yeah.

579. We never did get that date, did we?

580. You and me?

581. We sort of missed each other.

582. It was my fault.

583. I didn't... I didn't notice until it was too late.

584. I'm sorry.

585. Me, too.

586. It's starting.

587. Owen.

588. It's all right.

589. Really, Tosh.

590. It's all right.

591. Oh, God.

592. Owen?

593. Owen...

594. Toshiko? Toshiko!

595. Gwen, I need help down here!

596. You okay? Okay.

597. The nuclear plant at Turnmill. Owen's there.

598. Sealed in. Rerouted the blast.

599. Couldn't save him.

600. Tosh? Here you go, darling.

601. Talk to me now. Come on. Hey, Tosh.

602. And Cardiff City Centre is today

603. recovering from a series of devastating explosions.

604. City leaders say it's too early to account for the full scale of the damage

605. that also saw sightings of vicious animals on the streets of the city.

606. My whole life I was looking for him. Now I have to lose him all over again.

607. You cryo-freeze him and then what?

608. Wake him up in 100 years and he's miraculously better?

609. 'Cause that's not gonna happen.

610. Maybe killing him would be the release he needs.

611. There has been enough death.

612. You didn't struggle when I buried you.

613. Like you were allowing it.

614. It was my penance.

615. It's not your fault.

616. Need help with those rift predictions?

617. A lot of this planet I haven't seen.

618. You like it so much, thought I might take a look.

619. Maybe see you around.

620. I'm sorry for your losses.

621. Okay. So,

622. if you're seeing this,

623. I guess it means I'm, well, dead.

624. Hope it was impressive.

625. Not crossing the road or an incident with a toaster.

626. I just wanted to say, it's okay.

627. It really is.

628. Jack, you saved me.

629. You showed me all the wonders of the universe

630. and all those possibilities,

631. and I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

632. Thank you.

633. And, Owen.

634. You never knew.

635. I love you, all of you.

636. And

637. I hope I did good.

638. Now we carry on.

639. I don't think I can, not after this.

640. You can.

641. We all can.

642. The end is where we start from.
