1. We are coming. We are coming.
Copy !req
2. - Where's the camera?
- In my eyes.
Copy !req
3. When you wear these,
they'll transmit a picture back to us
Copy !req
4. and we can see what's going on.
Copy !req
5. More than that,
we've got lip-reading software.
Copy !req
6. If anybody finds out what I'm doing,
it's treason.
Copy !req
7. Gran always said there'd be trouble.
Copy !req
8. Did you know that he's got a daughter?
Copy !req
9. And now, Alice Carter's got a child
of her own, his grandson.
Copy !req
10. Bring her in.
Copy !req
11. We are here.
Copy !req
12. But what do you want?
Copy !req
13. We want ten percent
of the children of this world.
Copy !req
14. They want to take them,
like they did before, like the man did.
Copy !req
15. You were there?
Copy !req
16. 1965, I gave them 12 children.
Copy !req
17. This is the location they specified.
Copy !req
18. A set of instructions coming through
on a wavelength combination
Copy !req
19. - designated 456.
- Did they give a name?
Copy !req
20. All we've got is that number, 456.
Copy !req
21. According to our alien friends,
Copy !req
22. in four months' time
the virus will mutate.
Copy !req
23. It's a brand new strain
of Indonesian flu.
Copy !req
24. They claim it could kill
up to 25 million people.
Copy !req
25. All our research seems
to back up their figures.
Copy !req
26. In 1918, the Spanish flu outbreak killed
Copy !req
27. something like five percent
of the human race.
Copy !req
28. I know. I was there.
Copy !req
29. Well, this time we're
being offered a cure.
Copy !req
30. They'll send the antivirus in exchange.
Copy !req
31. - How many children do they want?
- 12.
Copy !req
32. It's like the sacrifice
to the ancient gods.
Copy !req
33. 12 virgins.
Copy !req
34. Just 12?
Copy !req
35. Sounds like a good deal.
What do they want them for?
Copy !req
36. - They say they'll live forever.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
37. Sure.
Copy !req
38. Why do you need me?
Copy !req
39. Well, assuming 12 children can be found,
then we need someone to deliver them.
Copy !req
40. What, in case the aliens are hostile?
You need someone who can't die?
Copy !req
41. Actually, we need someone
who doesn't care.
Copy !req
42. 1965, I gave them 12 children.
Copy !req
43. You just handed them over
and hoped for the best?
Copy !req
44. You just come with Uncle Jack.
Copy !req
45. We're gonna go on an adventure, yeah?
Copy !req
46. Everyone off.
Copy !req
47. Here we go.
Copy !req
48. All right, children, you follow me.
Copy !req
49. An adventure.
Copy !req
50. Okay, children, walk into the light.
Do as I say.
Copy !req
51. What's in there? What is it?
Copy !req
52. Just go.
Copy !req
53. Safe, though, isn't it?
Copy !req
54. Yeah.
Copy !req
55. It's safe.
Copy !req
56. Keep going.
Copy !req
57. You don't want to be left out, do you?
Copy !req
58. - Everyone okay?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
59. The information's coming
through now on the 456.
Copy !req
60. It's the antivirus,
just as they promised.
Copy !req
61. - Good night's work.
- Maybe the gods were kind.
Copy !req
62. Maybe they are in paradise.
Copy !req
63. No such thing.
Copy !req
64. You are in every nightmare
Copy !req
65. - I've ever had.
- I'm sorry.
Copy !req
66. I'm really sorry.
Copy !req
67. Gwen!
Copy !req
68. - Okay, so... Give me the gun, Clem.
- Stay away!
Copy !req
69. Come on.
Copy !req
70. - You're on his side.
- Give it to me.
Copy !req
71. - And he's on their side.
- Okay, it's over now.
Copy !req
72. - You're all involved.
- Let him go. He's dangerous, man.
Copy !req
73. - I'm not dangerous!
- We know.
Copy !req
74. We know you're not.
Copy !req
75. We know that.
Copy !req
76. But that's a lie. Isn't it? Isn't it?
Copy !req
77. We both know it.
Copy !req
78. I killed a man.
Copy !req
79. I am dangerous.
Copy !req
80. Can I take that?
Copy !req
81. There we are.
Copy !req
82. But it wasn't my fault.
Copy !req
83. There is something up there.
They do want children.
Copy !req
84. That man held my hand
Copy !req
85. and took me to them.
Copy !req
86. This is normal, okay?
This is what he does.
Copy !req
87. I told you he was going to be okay.
Copy !req
88. - No! No!
- Come on. Clem?
Copy !req
89. - Clem!
- No! No!
Copy !req
90. He's all right, Clem!
Copy !req
91. It's too much.
Copy !req
92. You get to shoot first
Copy !req
93. and ask questions later.
How good is that?
Copy !req
94. This is too much.
Copy !req
95. Isn't it? Isn't it?
Copy !req
96. Watch your head.
Copy !req
97. Can't believe you didn't
mention this before.
Copy !req
98. They didn't speak
through kids back then.
Copy !req
99. I didn't recognise the signs at first.
Copy !req
100. That's not what I meant.
Copy !req
101. They're coming back.
Copy !req
102. The man who sent me
and my friends to die
Copy !req
103. can't die himself.
Copy !req
104. This is to do with Uncle Jack, isn't it?
Copy !req
105. It's a mistake. We'll be out soon.
Copy !req
106. - Will he get us out?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
107. In here.
Copy !req
108. He doesn't know
Harkness is his grandfather?
Copy !req
109. No.
Copy !req
110. I suppose it would take some explaining
when Mum looks older than Grandad.
Copy !req
111. I can only assume that you're holding
me here as insurance against my father.
Copy !req
112. But let me warn you, if you've
angered him, then God help you.
Copy !req
113. This from the woman who spent
her life running away from him.
Copy !req
114. And why do you think I did that?
Copy !req
115. A man who can't die
has got nothing to fear.
Copy !req
116. So you watch it and you keep watching.
Copy !req
117. It was a protection racket.
You must have known they'd be back.
Copy !req
118. - I knew it was a possibility.
- You still gave them the payoff?
Copy !req
119. We had no choice.
Copy !req
120. Why us?
Copy !req
121. You wouldn't be missed.
Copy !req
122. I can see that.
Copy !req
123. All this time,
the one consolation I had was
Copy !req
124. the deal seemed to work.
Copy !req
125. It worked for 44 years.
Copy !req
126. - That's not a bad breathing space.
- Why was I left behind?
Copy !req
127. What's wrong with me?
Copy !req
128. We know they only want
pre-pubescent kids.
Copy !req
129. Maybe it's got something
to do with that.
Copy !req
130. Maybe you were just on the cusp
of puberty, not quite adult,
Copy !req
131. - not quite child.
- Saved by your hormones.
Copy !req
132. Everyone follow us, please.
Thank you.
Copy !req
133. Is this still recording, Ianto?
I need every second of this.
Copy !req
134. Yeah.
Copy !req
135. Hello again.
Before we consider your request,
Copy !req
136. I have been asked
for a point of clarification.
Copy !req
137. Before we even discuss your...
your request...
Copy !req
138. We need to know
Copy !req
139. exactly what it is that
you intend to do with the children.
Copy !req
140. Somebody is watching.
Copy !req
141. Some remnant.
Copy !req
142. It knows I'm here.
Copy !req
143. It knows!
Copy !req
144. - "Somebody is watching."
- I told you, it knows. Turn it off.
Copy !req
145. It's talking about the other camera.
It doesn't know about us. Shh.
Copy !req
146. The Prime Minister,
the leader of the United Kingdom...
Copy !req
147. is watching through this camera here.
Copy !req
148. And he needs to know
what would happen to our children
Copy !req
149. if we were to hand them over to you.
Copy !req
150. It is... off the record?
Copy !req
151. Yes.
Copy !req
152. Come in.
Copy !req
153. "Come in."
Copy !req
154. In there?
Copy !req
155. With your camera.
Copy !req
156. Come in.
Copy !req
157. It's hiding something.
Copy !req
158. - Right. Is that okay? Yeah?
- Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
159. Now, you'll be able to hear us
and we can hear anything you say.
Copy !req
160. Okay, hand me a mouthpiece.
Copy !req
161. There you go.
Copy !req
162. Don't take it off until the light
in the airlock goes green.
Copy !req
163. - Okay?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
164. Camera.
Copy !req
165. I'll be monitoring you throughout.
Copy !req
166. - Good luck.
- Thank you, ma'am.
Copy !req
167. Air content stabilised.
Copy !req
168. - I'm getting three heartbeats.
- It's got three heads.
Copy !req
169. No, there's...
Copy !req
170. There's three distinct
forms of life in there.
Copy !req
171. Get closer.
Copy !req
172. No, no, no, no, no!
Copy !req
173. Is that a child?
Copy !req
174. Where'd it get him from?
Copy !req
175. He's one of the kids from 1965.
Copy !req
176. He's still just a child.
Copy !req
177. Do you think he knows?
Copy !req
178. Is he conscious?
Copy !req
179. What's happening?
Copy !req
180. It's Lois. She's crying.
Copy !req
181. What have you done to him?
Copy !req
182. Get him out of there!
Get him out!
Copy !req
183. Get him out!
Copy !req
184. It would ensure the smooth
running of diplo-diplomatic relations...
Copy !req
185. John, get me out of here!
Copy !req
186. between Earth and
the 456-456-456-456
Copy !req
187. if that previous encounter was kept
off the record-off the record...
Copy !req
188. What's it saying?
That's John Frobisher's voice.
Copy !req
189. What's off the record?
Copy !req
190. - It's private-private...
- Get it off!
Copy !req
191. private...
Copy !req
192. This is unacceptable.
Copy !req
193. We do not harm the children.
Copy !req
194. They feel no pain.
Copy !req
195. "We do not harm the children.
They feel no pain.
Copy !req
196. "They live long beyond their years."
Copy !req
197. Well, that's okay, then.
Copy !req
198. But we still don't know.
What does it do with them?
Copy !req
199. What does it want them for?
Copy !req
200. Bit late to ask now.
Copy !req
201. "We have answered your question.
Copy !req
202. "You have one day
to select and deliver your ten percent."
Copy !req
203. And if we refuse?
Copy !req
204. We will wipe out your entire species.
Copy !req
205. Am I to understand
Copy !req
206. this country has had dealings
with these creatures before?
Copy !req
207. Apparently so.
Copy !req
208. I would point out I was
only a child myself in 1965.
Copy !req
209. Nonetheless, you made
the decision only this week, sir,
Copy !req
210. to keep those previous
negotiations secret?
Copy !req
211. It could be said
that perhaps it was, uh,
Copy !req
212. convenient, for the moment,
until further consideration.
Copy !req
213. You will give us all files
on 1965 immediately.
Copy !req
214. And the United Nations will decide what
measures to take against you, Mr Green.
Copy !req
215. This must have been eating away at you.
Copy !req
216. Why didn't you tell me?
Copy !req
217. - I could have helped.
- No, you couldn't.
Copy !req
218. I tell you everything.
Copy !req
219. Yeah? So, tell me,
what should I have done?
Copy !req
220. Stood up to them.
Copy !req
221. The Jack I know would have
stood up to them.
Copy !req
222. I've only just scraped
the surface, haven't I?
Copy !req
223. Ianto, that's all there is.
Copy !req
224. No. You pretend that's all there is.
Copy !req
225. I've lived a long time.
I have done a lot of things.
Copy !req
226. I've gotta go. I won't be long.
Copy !req
227. You're doing it again.
Copy !req
228. Speak to me, Jack.
Copy !req
229. Where are you going?
Copy !req
230. To call Frobisher.
I can't make the call from here
Copy !req
231. 'cause they'll be able to trace it.
Is that okay?
Copy !req
232. You're the boss.
Copy !req
233. And just so you know,
I have a daughter called Alison,
Copy !req
234. and a grandson called Steven and
Frobisher took them hostage yesterday.
Copy !req
235. You two should get
a couple of hours' sleep while you can.
Copy !req
236. So should you.
Copy !req
237. It's Harkness. Ring Ashton Down,
see if you can get a trace on it.
Copy !req
238. Strong coffee, loads of.
Copy !req
239. - Hello?
- Have you thought about what I said?
Copy !req
240. - Bit busy, to be honest.
- Let me put this right.
Copy !req
241. Release my family
and we can work together.
Copy !req
242. Give yourself up
and they won't be harmed.
Copy !req
243. - I wish I could believe that.
- You can.
Copy !req
244. You've spoken to the 456,
haven't you?
Copy !req
245. - They want more children.
- What makes you think that?
Copy !req
246. - They're onto it now.
- Doesn't take a genius.
Copy !req
247. With them so going public this time,
I think they want a lot more.
Copy !req
248. Millions, even.
Copy !req
249. If I have to stop you, then I'll tell
the world what's really going on.
Copy !req
250. There's too much at stake not to.
Copy !req
251. Lost him.
I'll try the Echelon satellite data.
Copy !req
252. It's gonna take some time.
Copy !req
253. They'll let us know
when they get a location.
Copy !req
254. He'll be gone by then.
Copy !req
255. Why don't you get your head
down on the couch for an hour?
Copy !req
256. Sorry.
Um, the Prime Minister wants to see you.
Copy !req
257. Take notes. Facilitate. Generally
make sure it all runs smoothly.
Copy !req
258. The most important thing is
to blend into the background.
Copy !req
259. No one should know we're there.
Copy !req
260. Cabinet office briefing room A. COBRA.
Copy !req
261. Where all the emergency
planning takes place.
Copy !req
262. Gold Command meeting's about to start.
Copy !req
263. They'll sell us out,
just like they did last time.
Copy !req
264. I'm sorry to hear about your family,
by the way.
Copy !req
265. We'll get them out.
Copy !req
266. - I know we will.
- Ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
267. it's been decided
we're going to make the 456 an offer.
Copy !req
268. A realistic number,
something we can manage,
Copy !req
269. - and then we see what happens.
- You mean we're going to haggle?
Copy !req
270. What about the military option?
Copy !req
271. There's nothing
to take action against.
Copy !req
272. Evidently, the 456 must have some
sort of base of operations in orbit,
Copy !req
273. but our satellites are showing nothing.
Copy !req
274. Whatever's up there,
it's beyond our technology.
Copy !req
275. There's a target sat in Thames House.
Copy !req
276. Taking that out would be
a declaration of war.
Copy !req
277. A war we can't win.
Copy !req
278. That's why I've invited
John to address Gold Command.
Copy !req
279. In terms of managing the figures,
what could we offer and get away with?
Copy !req
280. - We need to know...
- Isn't it, isn't it?
Copy !req
281. It's happening again.
Copy !req
282. My God, they're really gonna do this.
Copy !req
283. Look, it won't just be Britain, will it?
Copy !req
284. The idea is that every country makes
a camouflageable contribution.
Copy !req
285. Can you pass me the FAS file, please?
Copy !req
286. SAS? Oh, now you're talking.
Copy !req
287. Right, well, um...
Copy !req
288. For a start, there are 21 children
in Oakington right now. 21 units.
Copy !req
289. Unaccompanied asylum seekers
awaiting deportation.
Copy !req
290. FAS.
Copy !req
291. Failed asylum seekers.
Copy !req
292. Orphans in '65, asylum seekers today.
There's progress for you.
Copy !req
293. And no one would miss them.
Copy !req
294. We need more.
Copy !req
295. Can you bump the numbers up to 60?
Copy !req
296. I think so.
Copy !req
297. Uh, we could have them all in Oakington
by first thing tomorrow.
Copy !req
298. Thank you, John. Now go back to
Thames House and consult with the 456.
Copy !req
299. Make them an offer
of 60 units and no more.
Copy !req
300. - Hello?
- It's me.
Copy !req
301. Well, how... How did it go?
Copy !req
302. All you need to know is
there's nothing to worry about.
Copy !req
303. I'm sorry, I can't explain,
but trust me, don't worry.
Copy !req
304. - Well, have you slept yet?
- No.
Copy !req
305. - Are you on your way home?
- No time for that, sweetheart.
Copy !req
306. I'm afraid it's a matter
of utmost national security.
Copy !req
307. Are you safe?
Copy !req
308. Course I am. You know me,
I'm just pushing papers around.
Copy !req
309. They just need me to make sure
all the documentation's in place.
Copy !req
310. Did the bodyguards turn up?
Copy !req
311. - Yeah, they're outside.
- Good.
Copy !req
312. Good.
Copy !req
313. I just wanted to say I love you
and I love the girls.
Copy !req
314. - When will you be home?
- Soon.
Copy !req
315. Look, I've gotta go.
Copy !req
316. I love you.
Copy !req
317. I love you, too.
Copy !req
318. I'm sorry, but we have
discussed your demands
Copy !req
319. and we've arrived at a solution
that might satisfy both parties.
Copy !req
320. I've been authorised to offer you
one child
Copy !req
321. for every million people
on planet Earth.
Copy !req
322. That's about 6,700 in total.
Copy !req
323. 62 from the UK alone.
Copy !req
324. That is not acceptable.
Copy !req
325. 6,700.
Copy !req
326. Six-seven-zero-zero,
that's our final offer.
Copy !req
327. It's more than generous. I'll give you
some time to think about it.
Copy !req
328. Three, two, five,
zero, zero, zero.
Copy !req
329. Three, two, five, zero, zero, zero.
Copy !req
330. You are turning this house
into a bloody playschool.
Copy !req
331. Ten quid a kid, more like a charity.
Copy !req
332. And who's doing all the work?
It's muggins here, that's who.
Copy !req
333. I don't see you lifting a bloody finger.
Copy !req
334. - Three, two, five, zero, zero, zero.
- Oh my God, they're doing it again.
Copy !req
335. - Mica! Where's Mica? Mica!
- Three, two, five, zero, zero, zero.
Copy !req
336. Three, two, five, zero, zero, zero.
Copy !req
337. - What is it?
- Three, two, five...
Copy !req
338. - What are you going on about?
- ... zero, zero, zero.
Copy !req
339. - Lottery numbers or what?
- Three, two, five, zero, zero, zero.
Copy !req
340. Three, two, five, zero, zero, zero.
Copy !req
341. - Coordinates? Grid reference maybe?
- Three, two, five, zero, zero, zero.
Copy !req
342. Children in different countries are
saying different numbers.
Copy !req
343. The children of America are saying,
Copy !req
344. "Two, three, four, zero,
zero, zero, zero."
Copy !req
345. But what is the meaning of
"three, two, five, zero, zero, zero"?
Copy !req
346. It's confirmed.
Copy !req
347. 325,000 is ten percent
of the children...
Copy !req
348. the, uh, units in this country.
Copy !req
349. Every country is saying
a different number,
Copy !req
350. which, in each case, amounts to 10%.
Copy !req
351. I think it's fair to say that our
final offer has just been rejected.
Copy !req
352. Okay, thanks, everyone.
Let's take a break.
Copy !req
353. It's worth considering, sir.
Copy !req
354. The world's population will be
9 billion by 2050.
Copy !req
355. That's a two-and-a-half billion rise.
Copy !req
356. The UK will go from 61 million to 77,
every one of them needing
Copy !req
357. - food and water, a home, transport...
- Rick, Rick, Rick, Rick.
Copy !req
358. What are you suggesting,
a cull of ten percent would do us good?
Copy !req
359. I'm just saying, if we need
to spin this to the public,
Copy !req
360. and God knows, at the moment,
spin is all we can do,
Copy !req
361. then in an age when we're terrified
by the planet's dwindling resources,
Copy !req
362. a reduction in the population
Copy !req
363. could possibly, just possibly,
if presented in the right way,
Copy !req
364. be seen as... good.
Copy !req
365. Sir?
Copy !req
366. - Anything?
- It's all gone quiet.
Copy !req
367. All our usual sources
from the government,
Copy !req
368. the army, Whitehall, all gone silent.
Copy !req
369. Whatever's happening in London,
no one's breathing a word.
Copy !req
370. It's about time I found out
what's going on.
Copy !req
371. I'm taking a squad to London.
Are the roads still blocked?
Copy !req
372. - Only in the centre.
- Then patch me through a clear route.
Copy !req
373. And keep watching for Harkness.
If it's happening in London,
Copy !req
374. then that's where he'll be.
Copy !req
375. With regrets, ladies and gentlemen,
I have to tell you
Copy !req
376. that we're now facing
the worst-case scenario.
Copy !req
377. And right now we don't have time
for our discussion on ethics.
Copy !req
378. I'm afraid the hand-wringing
will have to wait.
Copy !req
379. All we can do at the moment
is to address a number of vital
Copy !req
380. and practical questions.
Copy !req
381. Namely, how do we select the ten percent
who would go?
Copy !req
382. How would we transport them?
And how could we sell it to the voters?
Copy !req
383. John?
Copy !req
384. - Well, the selection's not down to me.
- Nevertheless.
Copy !req
385. Practical solutions, please.
Copy !req
386. Once the selection has been made
then my department can arrange to bus
Copy !req
387. all the children
to the rendezvous points together,
Copy !req
388. school by school.
Copy !req
389. My staff are compiling
various school databases.
Copy !req
390. "You just need to decide
what criteria you'd use for selection."
Copy !req
391. Which is out of my hands.
Over to you, sir.
Copy !req
392. Anyone?
Copy !req
393. Might I remind you the clock is ticking?
Copy !req
394. - It would have to be random.
- No one'll believe it was random,
Copy !req
395. not unless some of us are seen waiting
at the school gates
Copy !req
396. - for empty buses to return.
- If the criteria is demonstrably fair
Copy !req
397. and entirely random, then at least
we could defend ourselves...
Copy !req
398. So you're willing to risk your kids
to make it look fair?
Copy !req
399. - Then how else can we choose?
- We could do it alphabetically.
Copy !req
400. Oh, yes, thanks Mr Yates.
Copy !req
401. I didn't mean... I've got no kids.
I wasn't trying to...
Copy !req
402. Yes, no kids and no consequences.
And yours have already grown up.
Copy !req
403. Let's keep this civil, Denise.
Copy !req
404. Oh, yes, let's discuss the loss
of millions of innocent children
Copy !req
405. - and let's be civilised about it!
- If you wouldn't mind, yes.
Copy !req
406. Could we limit it to one loss
per family? Every second-born child...
Copy !req
407. That would take more time.
More organisation. Time we don't have.
Copy !req
408. So, it would have to be
one school at a time.
Copy !req
409. Look, I'm going to say
what everyone else is thinking.
Copy !req
410. If this... this lottery takes place,
my kids aren't in it.
Copy !req
411. I'm sure the families of Gold Command
would be exempted anyway.
Copy !req
412. In fact, isn't that official policy?
Copy !req
413. Gang of bastards. Isn't it?
Copy !req
414. During a major civil emergency,
we're also dealing
Copy !req
415. with deeply debilitating personal grief.
Copy !req
416. - Listen to them.
- Hard enough as it is.
Copy !req
417. I'm right, aren't I?
Copy !req
418. It is official policy
that our families get protection.
Copy !req
419. Of course they bloody do.
Copy !req
420. So, we could have a show of hands.
I hate to be crass,
Copy !req
421. - but in the circumstances...
- Well, who votes?
Copy !req
422. Those with kids
or those with no interest to declare?
Copy !req
423. No one votes. It's down to me
to make an executive decision.
Copy !req
424. - Do you need some time?
- No.
Copy !req
425. Whatever happens,
the children and grandchildren
Copy !req
426. of everyone round this table
will be exempt.
Copy !req
427. - What about nieces and neph...
- Don't push your luck.
Copy !req
428. You seriously expect me
to look my brother in the eye...
Copy !req
429. We need to limit the number
of people who know.
Copy !req
430. - Just give him a condolence card?
- That's the responsibility
Copy !req
431. - of government, Denise!
- No, the first responsibility
Copy !req
432. is to protect the best interests
of this country, right?
Copy !req
433. Then, let's say it.
Copy !req
434. In a national emergency,
a country must plan for the future
Copy !req
435. and discriminate between those
who are vital to continued stability
Copy !req
436. and those who are not.
Copy !req
437. And now that we've established
that our kids are exempt,
Copy !req
438. the whole principle of random selection
is dead in the water, anyway.
Copy !req
439. - Only so far as...
- Let me finish. Now, look,
Copy !req
440. on the one hand,
you've got the good schools.
Copy !req
441. And I don't just mean those
producing graduates.
Copy !req
442. I mean the pupils who will go on
to staff our hospitals, our offices,
Copy !req
443. our factories, the workforce
of the future.
Copy !req
444. We need them. Accepted, yes?
Copy !req
445. So, set against that,
you've got the failing schools,
Copy !req
446. full of the less able,
the less socially useful,
Copy !req
447. those destined to spend
a lifetime on benefits,
Copy !req
448. occupying places on the dole queue
and, frankly, the prisons.
Copy !req
449. Now, look, should we treat them equally?
Copy !req
450. God knows we've tried and we've failed.
Copy !req
451. And now the time has come to choose.
Copy !req
452. And if we can't identify
the lowest achieving ten percent
Copy !req
453. of this country's children,
Copy !req
454. then what are
the school league tables for?
Copy !req
455. Anyone want to speak against that?
Copy !req
456. Then there we have it.
Copy !req
457. John, you have your criteria.
Copy !req
458. We've selected the ten percent.
Copy !req
459. We've got enough evidence recorded here
to destroy every person in that room.
Copy !req
460. And we can use it
to force our way into Thames House,
Copy !req
461. finally get face-to-face
with this thing.
Copy !req
462. And get your family released.
Copy !req
463. Right, everyone know
what they're doing?
Copy !req
464. What if I can't get Lois
to agree to this, Jack?
Copy !req
465. She hasn't let us down yet. Rhys, okay?
Copy !req
466. - Let's go stand up to them.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
467. The government has yet to give
a reason why the children have stated
Copy !req
468. a number which equals ten percent
of the child population of each country.
Copy !req
469. All eyes are now turning
toward the United Kingdom as we ask,
Copy !req
470. "What exactly are they hiding?"
Copy !req
471. London remains gridlocked
in the city centre.
Copy !req
472. Pipe down, you lot. Shut up.
Copy !req
473. - Hello?
- It's me.
Copy !req
474. Oh, I thought you couldn't call here.
Is it all over?
Copy !req
475. It's only just beginning.
Copy !req
476. - It's Ianto.
- Tell him I want my car back
Copy !req
477. in one piece!
Copy !req
478. Listen, that column of fire over London.
Did you see it on the telly?
Copy !req
479. No, I was watching the other side.
Of course I did, you dumbo.
Copy !req
480. What's happening?
Copy !req
481. The kids said "they are coming",
but who's they?
Copy !req
482. - Who is it?
- Just stop a minute and listen.
Copy !req
483. - Ianto, just tell me, who are they?
- They're from another planet.
Copy !req
484. They want children.
That's why they're here.
Copy !req
485. - They what?
- They want kids, millions of them.
Copy !req
486. - Why?
- I'm not sure. Over the next few days,
Copy !req
487. don't let anyone take
David and Mica away from you,
Copy !req
488. for whatever reason.
Copy !req
489. This goes for you people
listening in on the wire as well.
Copy !req
490. Forget the Official Secrets Act.
Copy !req
491. If you've got children or grandchildren,
you need to hear this.
Copy !req
492. And you need to tell
every parent you know.
Copy !req
493. I've found Jones.
Copy !req
494. - We can assume Harkness is nearby.
- Okay, let's go.
Copy !req
495. Look, I've gotta go. I love you.
Copy !req
496. Don't let the kids out of your sight.
I love them, too.
Copy !req
497. - I'm even warming to Johnny a bit.
- We love you, too.
Copy !req
498. Ianto?
Copy !req
499. Ianto, are you there?
Copy !req
500. What is it?
Copy !req
501. What'd he say?
Copy !req
502. Come on, Rhi, what did he say?
Copy !req
503. You've gotta go now.
Copy !req
504. You're just getting me
out of harm's way, aren't you?
Copy !req
505. - You don't think I can hack it.
- You're the most important part
Copy !req
506. of this whole plan.
Copy !req
507. Now, go on. You've got a job to do.
Copy !req
508. Go on, there isn't much time.
Copy !req
509. Long gone.
Copy !req
510. - Move out!
- I've done a sweep
Copy !req
511. of the surrounding area.
Two miles to the south,
Copy !req
512. there's a warehouse area in Battersea.
Copy !req
513. Used to be an old holding facility
for Torchwood One back in the '90s.
Copy !req
514. Could be significant.
Ianto Jones worked for Torchwood One.
Copy !req
515. - Can you pinpoint which warehouse?
- I'll get on to it now.
Copy !req
516. We need a cover story, to explain
why the operation is happening
Copy !req
517. and to encourage participation.
Copy !req
518. So the suggestion is
we announce that the children
Copy !req
519. will be given some kind of inoculation,
Copy !req
520. a jab to stop them speaking in unison.
Copy !req
521. We stress that there's
no immediate danger,
Copy !req
522. that everyone will be seen
in due course.
Copy !req
523. Then when it goes wrong
and the children disappear,
Copy !req
524. we blame the aliens,
claim ignorance and face the music.
Copy !req
525. We say the 456 double-crossed us?
Copy !req
526. double-crossed us?
Copy !req
527. - Okay, Gwen, we're here.
- Take care.
Copy !req
528. Positive fix, Gwen Cooper.
Torchwood facility warehouse.
Copy !req
529. Excellent. It is the aliens' fault.
Copy !req
530. That is where the blame should lie,
not with us.
Copy !req
531. We play the part of naive dupes
rather than willing accomplices.
Copy !req
532. We're not willing.
Copy !req
533. No one in this room
is a willing accomplice.
Copy !req
534. Roads are clear. ETA Torchwood
warehouse, 45 seconds.
Copy !req
535. Thank you, John. Comments.
Copy !req
536. - Anyone?
- This is gonna take a hell of a lot
Copy !req
537. of organisation. We'll have to
stand the police down
Copy !req
538. and put the army in their place.
Copy !req
539. We barely have time to talk.
We need to get this thing moving.
Copy !req
540. Then should we reconvene at 1800?
Copy !req
541. Excuse me.
Copy !req
542. - Lois, stop it.
- I have something to say.
Copy !req
543. Really?
Copy !req
544. Well, it's nice you want to make
a contribution...
Copy !req
545. - What was your name?
- Lois.
Copy !req
546. Lois Habiba, sir.
Copy !req
547. Well, thank you
for your hard work, Lois.
Copy !req
548. It's much appreciated,
but this really isn't the best time.
Copy !req
549. I'm sorry, sir.
Copy !req
550. I know I'm only supposed
to be here to take notes.
Copy !req
551. But, erm, I am a voter.
Copy !req
552. Listen, love, this isn't a referendum.
Copy !req
553. - Lois, could I have a word outside?
- No, but it needs saying.
Copy !req
554. Lois, seriously, not now.
Copy !req
555. And I'm not just speaking
on my own behalf.
Copy !req
556. Just what we need, a revolutionary.
Copy !req
557. If you like, sir, then that's what I am.
Copy !req
558. - Oh, yeah, you and whose army?
- Torchwood.
Copy !req
559. - What?
- Don't be ridiculous.
Copy !req
560. Don't be ridiculous.
Copy !req
561. I think she's doing it. Good girl!
Copy !req
562. But Torchwood has been
recording all these meetings.
Copy !req
563. And everything that's been said
around this table,
Copy !req
564. every single word,
Copy !req
565. spoken by every single one of you,
will be made public,
Copy !req
566. unless you do exactly
what Torchwood says.
Copy !req
567. Oh!
Copy !req
568. Jack Harkness, Ianto Jones.
Copy !req
569. We're Torchwood.
Copy !req
570. - We've been expecting you.
- On the floor!
Copy !req
571. - Face down, hands on your head.
- You traced Ianto's calls, did you?
Copy !req
572. - On the floor!
- Now that you're here,
Copy !req
573. you can take me to Alice
and Steven Carter.
Copy !req
574. You'll be in the very next cell.
Copy !req
575. Second thoughts, maybe I'll just have
you shot while resisting arrest.
Copy !req
576. - That would be a mistake.
- Why?
Copy !req
577. Take a look at what
we've been recording.
Copy !req
578. How exactly are you going to
make us do this?
Copy !req
579. - Torchwood's been destroyed.
- I'm afraid not, sir.
Copy !req
580. Right now, Captain Jack Harkness,
head of the Torchwood Institute,
Copy !req
581. is in the reception of the MI5 building.
Copy !req
582. So you're going to stand aside
and let him do his job
Copy !req
583. and deal with the 456.
Copy !req
584. Immediately.
Copy !req
585. And, uh...
Copy !req
586. I think that's it.
Copy !req
587. What she's telling them is
Copy !req
588. my gorgeous husband has recordings
of them all
Copy !req
589. secretly agreeing to sacrificing
millions of innocent children
Copy !req
590. to the aliens.
Copy !req
591. Now, him and his laptop,
at this very moment,
Copy !req
592. are in a secret location.
Copy !req
593. And he's ready to press send
and tell the whole world
Copy !req
594. exactly what's been going on
unless you do exactly as we say.
Copy !req
595. Take a seat.
Copy !req
596. Maybe you'll learn something
about the people
Copy !req
597. you've been working for. Come on, Clem.
Copy !req
598. I want to feed the live TV pictures
direct to this number.
Copy !req
599. - Can you do that?
- I can do it.
Copy !req
600. I'm Captain Jack Harkness.
Copy !req
601. I've dealt with you lot before.
Copy !req
602. I'm here to explain why this time
you're not getting what you want.
Copy !req
603. You yielded in the past.
Copy !req
604. And don't I know it.
Copy !req
605. I was there.
In 1965, I was part of that trade.
Copy !req
606. And that's why I'm never
gonna let it happen again.
Copy !req
607. Explain.
Copy !req
608. There's a saying here on Earth.
Copy !req
609. A very old, very wise friend of mine
taught me it.
Copy !req
610. An injury to one is an injury to all.
Copy !req
611. And when people act according
to that philosophy,
Copy !req
612. the human race is
the finest species in the universe.
Copy !req
613. Never mind the philosophy.
Copy !req
614. What he's saying is
Copy !req
615. you're not getting one solitary,
single child.
Copy !req
616. The deal is off.
Copy !req
617. - Uh, I like the philosophy.
- I gathered.
Copy !req
618. You yielded in the past.
Copy !req
619. You will do so again.
Copy !req
620. In the past, the numbers were
so small they could be kept secret.
Copy !req
621. But this time,
that is not going to happen.
Copy !req
622. Because we've recorded everything.
Copy !req
623. All the negotiations,
Copy !req
624. everything the politicians said,
everything that happened in this room,
Copy !req
625. and those tapes will be released
to the public.
Copy !req
626. Unless you leave this planet for good.
Copy !req
627. You yielded in the past.
Copy !req
628. You will do so again.
Copy !req
629. When people find out the truth,
Copy !req
630. you will have over six billion
angry human beings
Copy !req
631. taking up arms to fight you.
Copy !req
632. That might be a fight
you think you can win,
Copy !req
633. but at the end of it,
Copy !req
634. the human race in defence
of its children will fight to the death.
Copy !req
635. And if I have to lead them
into battle, then I will.
Copy !req
636. You've got enough information
on this planet.
Copy !req
637. Check your records.
Copy !req
638. His name is Captain Jack Harkness.
Copy !req
639. Go back 150 years
and see what you're facing.
Copy !req
640. This is fascinating, isn't it?
Copy !req
641. It knows I'm watching.
Copy !req
642. The human infant mortality rate
Copy !req
643. is 29,158 deaths per day.
Copy !req
644. Every three seconds, a child dies.
Copy !req
645. The human response is to accept
and adapt.
Copy !req
646. We're adapting right now
and we're making this a war.
Copy !req
647. Then the fight begins.
Copy !req
648. We're waiting for your reply.
Copy !req
649. Action has been taken.
Copy !req
650. What have you done?
Copy !req
651. You wanted a demonstration of war.
Copy !req
652. A virus has been released.
Copy !req
653. It will kill everyone in the building.
Copy !req
654. - Can they override it?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
655. The building's designed to withstand
chemical and biological attack.
Copy !req
656. Nothing or no one can get in or out.
Copy !req
657. Happy now?
Copy !req
658. The air's poisoned. Call someone.
Shut down the air conditioning.
Copy !req
659. Block every air vent.
Get gas masks, hazard suits,
Copy !req
660. oxygen cylinders...
Copy !req
661. If there's a virus,
then there must be an antivirus.
Copy !req
662. Release it now
or I'll blow a hole in that tank.
Copy !req
663. And we'll all die together.
Copy !req
664. You made your point,
now stop this and we can talk.
Copy !req
665. You are dying even now.
Copy !req
666. What's that noise?
Copy !req
667. What's it doing?
Copy !req
668. Turn it off, turn it off!
Copy !req
669. Clem. Clem!
Copy !req
670. We've gotta get you out of here.
I can survive anything, but you can't.
Copy !req
671. Too late.
Copy !req
672. I breathed the air.
Copy !req
673. There's gotta be something.
There's gotta be an antidote.
Copy !req
674. You said you would fight.
Copy !req
675. Then I take it back, all right?
I take it all back. But not him!
Copy !req
676. No! No, no, no, no, no. No!
Copy !req
677. No, Ianto. No.
Copy !req
678. The remnant will be disconnected.
Copy !req
679. Okay?
Copy !req
680. He's dead.
Copy !req
681. What about Thames House?
Copy !req
682. They can't get out.
Copy !req
683. It's all my fault.
Copy !req
684. No, it's not.
Copy !req
685. Don't speak, save your breath.
Copy !req
686. I love you, I...
Copy !req
687. Don't.
Copy !req
688. Ianto. Ianto.
Copy !req
689. Ianto, stay with me.
Ianto, stay with me, please.
Copy !req
690. Stay with me!
Stay with me, please. Please.
Copy !req
691. Hey...
Copy !req
692. It was good, yeah?
Copy !req
693. Yeah.
Copy !req
694. Don't forget me.
Copy !req
695. Never could.
Copy !req
696. A thousand years' time,
Copy !req
697. you won't remember me.
Copy !req
698. Yes, I will.
Copy !req
699. I promise.
Copy !req
700. I will.
Copy !req
701. Ianto.
Copy !req
702. Ianto?
Copy !req
703. Don't go.
Copy !req
704. Don't leave me, please.
Copy !req
705. Please don't.
Copy !req
706. You will die,
Copy !req
707. and tomorrow your people
will deliver the children.
Copy !req
708. What now?
Copy !req
709. Two choices.
