Torchwood

Every child in the world is speaking English.

We are coming. And one man.

You're pregnant.

Have you told Rhys? I've only just found out myself.

He is going to love that.

We are coming.

This morning it woke up. Transmitting on the 456.

It's a transmission, a pulse, a broadcast.

We are coming. You never tell me anything these days.

Dad died, that was it. He is very handsome.

You're kidding me? Really though?

We are coming. It might be best if certain historical events were taken off the record.

You never told me. I was never a part of it.

There's a bomb in your stomach. Stop it! Stop it! We are coming.

John! There'll be nothing left of you. I can survive anything.

Back!

Whoa! Whoa! You can't go back there, love.

No, no, no, it's too dangerous. My friend's still in there.

Go back to the ambulance. Walk as quick as you can, now.

Let me go and get him. Let me go!

Let me go! No!

Hold her down! Control said no survivors.

Aaagh!

PHONE RINGS

Sorry, I've got to take this.

Work? After what just happened?

Because of it. They're OK now.

Get yourselves to bed, girls.

And don't worry.

Hello. Target one's eliminated.

Two and three have escaped, but we're in pursuit. What went wrong?

They got lucky. But they won't get far. We can't have witnesses.

"Call me when you've got them.

"And make it quick!"

KNOCK AT DOOR

Off to bed.

I've got the translations.

Instructions.

Specifications for something they want us to build.

And we haven't got much time to do it in.

When they can communicate like this, in this kind of detail,

why do the thing with the children?

Because they can.

And because they want to scare us.

Who do you work for?

Who do you work for?

The NHS.

Who do you work for?!

You tried to kill me. My friends could be dead. So don't think I won't use this.

I'm working for the government. I just follow orders, that's all. We're on the same side?

GUNSHOT Aaaargh!

Why would the government want to destroy Torchwood? Why?

I just do as I'm told. I'm just following orders, that's all.

"Please come in."

SIRENS WAIL ALL AROUND

Jackson, keep the police back.

You, come with me.

If she's anti-terrorist, I would not mind being Uncle Terrorist.

Get some back up. Two escaped suspects.

Ianto Jones, Gwen Cooper. Armed and dangerous.

I know Gwen Cooper. She's an ex-police officer, she's not a terrorist.

Haven't you got tape to tie?

Fine, I'm just saying. You're barking up the wrong tree, that's all.

I want their homes raided.

Gwen Cooper is not a terrorist.

You must know where she lives.

Get up! Now! We've got to go! Bloody hell, Gwen!

We've to get out of here. What's going on, man?Listen, someone is trying to kill me.

And if they're after me, they're going to come after you. Now get up, and get dressed!What?

Come on Rhys, faster, faster!

All right, all right.

Down to the bottom, take a left.

I mean, shouldn't there be some sort of briefing first?

Like a risk assessment?

Not that Gwen's a risk.

Rhys, car keys? Try the top of the fridge, I think.

I've tried on the top of the bloody fridge, man! Come on!

If you put the keys in the same place all the time we wouldn't have to go through this time and time again!

What are you doing?Packing.

You're not going to have time to read! And they can trace us with that!

Well, I've not gone into hiding before!

So, er, you lot are some sort of specialists from London. Am I right?

I mean, I totally respect that. Really I do.

But sometimes, there's no substitute for a little bit of local knowledge.

And let me tell you, Gwen'll be absolutely no bother.

We're not going in there all guns blazing, are we?

How far is it?

Two minutes.

THEY LOCK AND LOAD WEAPONS

Come on, come on... Come on.

PHONE RINGS

No! Rhys! Rhys!

Hello. Jesus Christ, Rhys! It's Ianto, right?

Christ's sake, man!

Ianto, are you OK?

Yeah, have you heard from Jack?

No. No I haven't. Sorry, hang on.

Do you think he survived? He usually does.

"Who was it?"I had a run-in with one of them. Said he was working for the government.

That doesn't make sense. How did they get close enough to plant it inside him, Ianto?

It was him, that Dr Rupesh. He was shot and killed in the hospital earlier.

"It must've been then."

Let's go. Take the bag. Get the car ready.

Er, where shall we meet, Ianto?

Your phone, your phone could be bugged.

Erm, right... Er...

Remember the last time we had ice cream together?

No. Yeah, you do. After the Grand Slam.

I don't like ice cream. It gives me a headache.

CAR HORN I've got to go.

Gwen!

Go!

Now do you believe she's a terrorist?

She shot the wheels.

What kind of terrorist shoots your wheels?

A clever one.

Right. I think... we made it.

Let's go. Where?

Can't we just take a minute? Just to...

Number plate recognition. They can trace us. We need to ditch it. It's a brand new car!

It's no good to us now, OK? We need to keep moving.

Wouldn't it be better if we gave ourselves up?

When I know what's happened, I'll tell someone. Until then, we're going underground.

Let me carry the bag.

You want your trigger finger free, don't you?

LOUD BANGING ON DOOR

We're looking for Ianto Jones.

Don't move! Don't move!

We're looking for Ianto Jones. Well, you won't find him in my bed, will you?! I'm a married man.

What?Keep your phones on today.

Why? I want to be able to speak to you.

Since when?Since we were possessed by the Devil. I'm serious.

If they go off during a lesson, we can't get them back till Friday.

Keep them on mute.

Every suspicious phone call, every time you come home late, you hide behind the Official Secrets Act.

And I put up with it. Don't start on this. Not now.

I accept it. But this is different. When it affects my kids, in my house. There is nothing to worry about.

I saw how scared you were last night.

I know.

It's frightening to see it first hand, there's no lasting damage.

It's quickly over. This isn't a hula hoop craze.

It happened to Brian and Wendy's kids in Canada. You don't think this is over any more than I do.

Just make sure they keep their phones on. And don't let them come home on their own.

I'm off now, girls.

I'll see you. Goodbye kisses, it must be serious.

If you could get out of bed at a proper time, you'd get plenty of kisses.

Have a good day.

Dad?What?

We want a pony.

We want a pony.

We want a pony. See?

Nothing to worry about.

"Latest headlines.

"Further reports are coming in about the explosion in Cardiff last night.

"No organisation has yet claimed responsibility for the explosion,

"which went off in the Bay area of the city..."

Isn't that where Uncle Jack lives? It's a big place. Shh!

"Casualty figures remain low, with two people reported missing."

"Residents in Cardiff are reacting with shock and outrage.

"The entire bay area has been closed off and witnesses say the effects

"of the explosion last night could be felt five miles away.

"No-one can say for sure why this area was the site of such an unexpected attack,

"and the Prime Minister's office has refused to speculate until more details are known.

"Fortunately, the timing of the device..."

As you know, Harkness is a difficult man to kill.

Current theories suggest that his longevity is connected in some way to the Torchwood Hub.

Which necessitated taking out the entire operation.

He can't still be alive, after that.

As I said, awaiting results.

What about these, er... these specifications?

From the 456? I could barely understand a word of them.

Nor me. But I'm told the translations are excellent.

And they've started work. Dekker's called in the damage control team, they're working as fast as they can.

Early reports are looking, well, promising.

Can we see it? They'll be ready to show us work in progress by 1600 hours.

We're building something and we don't even know what it is.

Can I ask?

Did the 456 contact any other country?

Intel's been listening.

No chatter on the wires. Seems like it's only Britain.

And how long can we keep it secret?

Given the children's last statement, "We are coming back".

That's what everyone seems to be asking -

when were they here before?

Yes.

Well, if that's everything... Sir.

Sir, I'd just, um...

I just wanted to say how...

grateful I am, sir. What for?

Well.

I know that I'm something of a middleman in these affairs, but um...

I just wanted to thank you,

for trusting me with the responsibility.

All I've done is put you on the front line.

That's what the front line's for, John.

First to fall.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Come on, check the gas is turned off.

Get some breathing equipment down here.
