All language subtitles for Torchwood.S03E03.BRRip.x264-ION10

Target one's eliminated. Two and three
have escaped, but we're in pursuit.

We can't have witnesses.

He gave the order to have
Jack Harkness killed.

-You sure?
-I've seen it with my own eyes.

ALL: We are coming. We are coming.

Whoever they are,
they're coming for Britain.

-But why?
-Exactly.

Why is that, Mr Frobisher?

He keeps saying the same thing
over and over.

We are coming.

I don't mean to scare you because
you're perfectly safe,

but I think aliens are using you
to speak. What do you think?

No such thing.

How do we know that the 456
will keep quiet?

We don't. All we can do is hope
to cover ourselves.

This is us. This is Torchwood.

This is home.

The children promised tomorrow
and tomorrow is here.

Our correspondents have been measuring
the situation in Australia...

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

The Senate have pointed out that we are
now living in fear of our children.

In fear of what they will say next,

in fear of who or what
is speaking through them.

(LAUGHING)

Almost lost my eyebrows.
Still, good for something, see?

-Old Boy Scout.
-I'm freezing.

Is anyone going to see us in here,
you know,

with all this firelight and stuff?

It was abandoned in the '90s.
Used to be a Torchwood holding facility.

-Torchwood One.
-Rusting away for years.

So what do we do? H mm? Just sit here?

Worse than that,
do I have to stay in these clothes?

I mean, come on, tracksuit bottoms?
Not a good look.

Jack, they're arriving today.

That alien voice thing said today

and we are stuck in the back end
of beyond.

Yeah. But we're together, the old team.

We're down but not out, yeah?
We've survived worse than this.

(SIGHING) Yeah.

Besides, I don't know how much fighting
you should do in your condition.

-What's that mean?
- (WHISPERING) Christ, Jack.

He knows you're pregnant?
You told him before me, didn't you?

Rhys, he just happened to be there,
and it happened really, really fast.

Last to know, last to bloody know!
Well, thank you very much.

Don't be stupid, man.
Hey, don't be so...

Couldn't you just keep it shut?

All together. The old team.

Tension is mounting as
the population of the entire planet

waits for the next incident.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

We've been given no answers, no hope,

no assurance that
our children will come first.

The government has refused to speculate
about the origin of the voice

or the importance
of the word "tomorrow".

Let's take you live now
to Downing Street.

In light of what's happening
with our children,

we've temporarily closed the schools.

As a further precaution,
we've introduced a temporary curfew

for everyone under the age of 18.

Keep your children at home
where they'll be safe.

The curfew takes effect immediately
and will continue until further notice.

But rest assured,

we're doing everything in our power
to find out what's going on,

to safeguard our children
and all the people of this nation.

In the meantime,
we're asking everyone to stay calm

and to go about your lives as normal.

There's nothing to suggest
we are in any danger.

And as soon as we find out
anything more,

the public will be informed.

And as always,
I thank you for your trust

and for your faith.

Yeah, it's me. Listen, I can't talk.
Just give her the thumbs-up,

she'll know what it means.

(WHISTLING)

Oh, brilliant. Thanks, Mac.

You want one? There you go.

Mac says thumbs up, Ianto's alive.

Was that it?

Daft sod, well, where is he?
What's he doing?

Thumbs up, that was all.

This is Eliza. Now, she's
lactose-intolerant, so no milk.

Okay, Eliza. You take your coat off.
You go in there and play, all right?

That's it now, Johnny. No more kids.
I'm full to bursting.

It's a public service.
The schools are closed.

People still gotta work. Life goes on.

-Yeah, with you making a profit.
-Ten quid a kid.

Look, that could be our slogan,
"Ten quid a kid."

(TV IN BACKGROU N D)

(PHON E RINGING)

(PHON E BEEPING)

This is Jack Harkness, leave a message
and I'll get back to you.

So, we've got guns, okay.

And a pen knife, laptop, now dead,

credit cards and a phone,
which they can trace,

Lemsip, book of stamps,
pair of contact lenses and 15 quid.

Plus 2 5 pence.

With some bloody alien thing
turning up today.

We've still got some of
the Torchwood software, though.

We've lost the H ub, but the software
still exists on the server.

Trouble is,
we're going to need some more equipment.

Not to mention electricity.

And how are we going to manage that,
hidden away like criminals?

-Well, that's it. Brilliant.
-What?

Criminals. Thieves. Us.

Well, they're treating us
like criminals. Let's be criminals.

Listen, I trained with the police.
I know every trick in the book.

Seen the lot. Come on, boys,
you're going to learn some tricks.

-Everything all right?
-Oh, yeah, fine. Thanks very much.

That'll be £15. 50.

(IN DISTINCT)

Ow, ow!

(GRU NTING)

Whoa ! Come back, that's my car!

I'm just going to pop over the road.
I won't be a minute, okay?

Excuse me?

Excuse me, could I borrow your phone?

I just want to make a call to my sister.
She's a bit worried.

It's all this stuff with the kids
and my mobile's not working.

-Is that okay?
-Yeah, sure.

I won't be long. Brilliant, thanks.

(MOBILE DIALLING)

(RINGING)

Hello, Cardiff Bay Police Station.

Yeah, I'm, uh, I'm trying to contact
Captain Jack Harkness.

He works for Torchwood. I know
it's not your department but, um...

(PHON E BEEPING)

ALICE: No, but, I think he might
have been in that explosion

and I can't get in touch with him.
He's got this private number

-and he always answers it, but...
-I'll need your name and address.

-I just want to know where he is.
-I'll need your name and address.

Name and address...

(LIN E DISCON N ECTING)

Lovely. Thank you very much. Thanks.

Name's Alice Carter,
maiden name Alice Sangster.

Parents James and Mary Sangster,
which is significant

'cause James and Mary Sangster
never really existed.

They were placeholder names used
in the early 70s

for personnel that went into deep cover
or witness relocation.

In other words, the whole ID's a fake.

-Can you find out who she is?
-I'm onto it.

Let there be light!

Oh, yes! Britain's most wanted.

Hey, how about that?

Guess that makes you
an official member of the team.

You can stick it, mate.

Get on those computers
and get me home, yeah?

I see we've got a new car outside.
N ice, very smart.

Where've you been?
We thought you got arrested.

Just buying essentials.

(EXCLAIMING) Technology's one thing.

But let's not forget the
creature comforts. Coffee, obviously.

-Got some doo-dah.
-Thank God !

And more importantly,

didn't know your exact sizes,
but I reckon I got a good eye.

Whoo!

Oh, brilliant. I am stinking.

-N ice one.
-And for you, sir,

-Army surplus special.
-Oh, you're kidding me.

I'm back.

(WHOOPING)

Such a long time ago.
But it's all coming back, isn't it?

'Cause of that smell.

(SNIFFING)

Closer, closer.

Happens today.
Well, it's always today, isn't it?

Same as yesterday.

Today and yesterday.

I knew they'd come back.
Bastards always come back.

I can smell them !

Just like last time, isn't it?

Stop, stop, stop, stop,

stop, stop, stop!

Stop!

That's him.

No, oh, no, don't take me,
they'll get me.

-Hold on...
-Don't take me, get out of the way!

-That's it.
-No!

That's it, come on.
You're making it worse, son.

Stop, stop!

They'll get me, they'll get me!

-And we're in.
-Just like the old days.

I'll patch into the news channels,
see what's happening.

-Uh, black, no sugar, yeah?
-That's the one.

No sign of anything. Empty skies.

Right. Where do we start?
What are we looking for?

Run a check on that Clement McDonald.
See if there's any change.

And those names Lois said.

Captain Andrew Staines.
What was it, Ellen H unt?

Michael something? All assassinated
the same time they tried to kill Jack.

Andrew Staines, Ellen H unt,
Michael Sanders, mean anything to you?

No, nothing.

We need to get inside Whitehall.

-Have you got the Eye-5 software, Ianto?
-Yeah, still on the site. Why?

Download it onto the laptop.

Because these are
not just contact lenses,

these are Torchwood contact lenses.

But what do we use them for?
Who's going to wear them?

Well, there's only one person
still talking to us.

(PHON E RINGING)

Hello?

-Is there a Lois in here? Lois Habiba?
-That's me.

We're not a call centre. H urry up.

-LOIS: Hello?
-GWEN: Lois, look to your right.

Don't hang up. Don't hang up.
I need five minutes, just five minutes.

I've helped you once and that's enough.

If anybody finds out what I'm doing,
it's treason.

It's literally treason. Offences like
this can be tried without a jury.

They could do anything to me.

I know, but you said they're building
something at Thames House

and we need to find out what it is.

That's the most secure building
in the whole country.

-I can't exactly smuggle you in.
-You don't have to. You just...

(DOOR CREAKING)

Just keep your eyes open. Like this.

But, where's that coming from?

That's not a webcam.

It's you.

And to the right.

And to the left.

And back.

-Where's the camera? On your jacket?
-In my eyes.

Oh, my God.

When you wear these,
they'll transmit a picture back to us

and we can see what's going on.

More than that,
we've got lip-reading software.

Just look at someone
when they're speaking

and it'll translate it.

Press Enter now. Go on.

Right. Now it's working, say something.

-Like what?
-COMPUTER: Like what?

-Oh my God, that's weird.
-COMPUTER: Oh my God, that's weird.

And we can send messages to you.

Type something. Go on, anything.

Hello, Lois.

-You can see it, in your eyes?
-COMPUTER: You can see it, in your eyes?

It's good, isn't it?

If you wear these, we can find out
what's going on and then we can help.

I can't.

What if they... I don't know,
scan for bugs or something?

Yeah, they will,
but they won't register, I promise.

I can't, though.

Giving you information's one thing

but that's putting me right
on the front line.

You're the only friend we've got left.

Even if I get into Thames House,

I can't get onto Floor 13.

That's where
they're building this thing.

But Frobisher only takes Miss Spears
with him. I'm just the office girl.

-Well, you'll have to find a way inside.
-But how?

I don't know. You...

-You'll have to think of something.
-I can't.

I'm sorry. I've got to go.

Just take them with you,
I am begging you. Just think about it.

-I've really got to go.
-Please.

Lois.

I can't.

Please.

Frobisher's the key to this.
He's just a civil servant, he's nothing.

What makes him start
authorising executions?

What did it feel like?

I mean, getting blown up?

-Wasn't the best of days.
-No.

But did you feel it?

(TAKING A DEEP BREATH)

Or did everything just go black?

I felt it.

-Shit.
-Yeah.

Do you ever think
that one day your luck will run out?

That you won't come back?

I'm a fixed point in time and space.

That's what the Doctor says.

I think that means it's forever.

So one day you'll see me die
of old age,

and just keep going?

Yeah.

We'd better make the most of it, then.

I suppose.

Like right now?

-Ianto, the world could be ending.
-The world's always ending.

And I have missed that coat.

Rhys.

Do you want to take the car and
go to those shops down by the wharf?

We need some discs for these things.
Should take about 20 minutes?

-30 minutes.
-30.

I'll go later, um,
the beans are almost done.

-The beans are almost done.
-Bloody beans.

Whoa, that's nice.

Look at that. Face recognition software.

And, arrested two hours ago in London.

He wouldn't give his name,
but that is Clement McDonald.

That's the man from the hospital.
Could be useful.

(PHON E RINGING)

Gwen?

I've given her the contacts
but God knows, I think she's too scared.

No, we've got a new little mission
for you.

That Clem's turned up,
Camden Police Station, of all places.

Arrested for theft and minor affray.
Could you get him out?

-How am I supposed to do that?
-You were a policewoman.

Oh, okay, bloody hell,
anything else while I'm at it?

-Fillet steak would be nice.
-Yeah, don't push it. See you later.

-So, Ianto, what's his story?
-Ah, well, according to Gwen,

it was your classic alien abduction
back when he was a kid. 1965.

He was living 10 miles
outside Arbroath, the Holly Tree Lodge.

It was an orphanage.

Looked up the files.
The kids were taken away November 1965.

The Lodge was closing down.

They were being taken to a second care
home called Harbour Heights in Plymouth,

except that's where the records stopped.

There's no trace of them arriving.

I mean, it was the '60s,
a lot of the paperwork's gone missing.

But if what he's saying is true,
maybe they never got there.

-Show me those people.
-What people?

Andrew Staines, Ellen H unt,
Michael Sanders.

The ones that were killed
the same day as me.

-Why, do you think there's a connection?
-Show me.

No, no, give me their history.
Show me them 40 years ago.

-What for?
-Just do it.

Who are they, Jack?

Do you know them?

-I never knew their names.
-Who were they?

Jack, tell me. Did you know them?

-Jack!
-Hey, the beans are ready.

Alice Carter.
I've broken the security wall.

You're gonna love this.

(PHON E RINGING)

What is it? Any sign of Harkness?

Sins of the past.
Did you know that he's got a daughter?

-Since when?
-Alice Carter.

She was put into deep cover
way back in 1977

at the request of her mother,

seeking to distance herself from
the life of Captain Jack.

-Can hardly blame her.
-Who was the mother?

A woman called Lucia Moretti.

Italian. Torchwood staff 1968 to 1977.

Deceased. Heart disease, 2006.

Natural causes.
That's rare for Torchwood.

And now Alice Carter's got a child
of her own, his grandson.

Could be useful.
What do you want me to do?

-Bring her in.
-Just the answer I wanted.

Nothing from Jodrell Bank,
but we might as well get ready.

Bridget, get everything you need.
We'll transfer to Thames House.

What do you want me to do?

Exactly what you're doing now.
Just answer the phones.

Or I could come with you
to Thames House. I could help.

(SCOFFING) I don't think so.

The thing is,
Mr Frobisher asked me to come.

-When was that?
-He said he wanted me.

At his side.

What for?
Why on Earth would he need you?

It was a...

private conversation.

You're not the first, you know.

Don't go thinking you're the first.

Then I can come?

Apparently so.

(PHON E RINGING)

-Andy Davidson.
-GWEN : Andy, listen...

-You're alive?
-Yes, I'm still alive, you idiot.

Now, shut up, I need some help.

We need you.
All these kids saying, "We are coming."

And that's today.

I mean, what's it going to be?
Like a spaceship?

-Oh, Andy.
-Or Godzilla?

Just listen ! I need you to release a
prisoner from Camden Police Station.

-The address is Albany Street.
-What are you doing in Camden?

-Does it matter?
-It does to me, aye.

Yes. I know, I'm sorry.

Look, just listen,

I've got no ID,
so I need you to vouch for me.

He's only on minor charges,
so I can stand bail.

You need to phone them
and fax a WC242A.

Don't use my name, use Lynda's.
I'll say I'm Lynda.

Can you do that for me, please?

-Okay.
-Like now?

Clem?

Do you remember me?

(SNIFFING)

Oh.

It's all right.

(CRYING)

(DOG BARKING OUTSIDE)

It's boring. I want to see aliens.

Yeah? Be careful what you wish for.
Put some cartoons on.

(DOG WHIMPERING)

Steven, come on, we're going out.
Quickly, now.

The telly said we've got to stay inside.

Never mind that. Now, listen to me.

We're going to go out
and you're going to be quiet, okay?

Don't make a sound.

Just like those games your gran
used to teach you, do you remember?

Are we in trouble?
Gran always said there'd be trouble.

Then do exactly what she said.
Just like the games.

N ice and quiet and don't let me
out of your sight. Come on.

(CRASHING)

-Clear!
-Clear!

-Get out of the way.
-Go on then, shoot.

Let's see what happens.

Are you as immortal as your father?
Is the boy?

We can put it to the test.

-Take me, let him go.
-No.

He's only a child.

So?

Alice, if we wanted you dead,
we'd have opened fire by now.

Just put down the gun.

-Who are you?
-Put down the gun.

If you harm him, I will kill you.

Understood.

And the knife.

Certainly your father's daughter,
I'll give you that.

Come on, sweetheart.

Steven, what is it? What are you doing?

-Steven, what is it?
-What's he pointing at?

Steven, stop it.

Please stop it. Steven, look at me.

Steven, stop it!

It's them.

We charge extra for cleaning.
Tell your mum it's another two quid.

What is it? Stop it.

Can you hear me? Lilly, it's Mum.

Just look at me. Just look at me!

What is it? Clem?

-It's them. It's all of them, the kids.
-What are they saying?

They're not. Just pointing.

ANCHORWOMAN : Yet again,
every child has stopped.

Every single child in the world.

There seem to be no reports of speech,
only that they seem to be

indicating something in the sky.

-It's on the news, they're pointing.
-I know.

But they're pointing over there.

What's over there?

Says all the children in America
are pointing east

and all the children in Europe
are pointing west.

It's us. They're pointing at us.

Go far enough in that direction,
that's London.

They're pointing at London.

ANCHORWOMAN : According to reports,
children in London are all pointing

towards the centre of the city.

To repeat, children in London all seem
to be pointing towards the centre.

They're pointing at Thames House.
Come on.

It's happening.

(ALARM SOU N DING)

-Sorry, you just stay here.
-But you haven't got authorisation.

(ALARM SOU N DING)

(EXPLOSION)

ALL: We are here.

(LAUGHING)

It's them. They're back.

Come on, you're connected to them.
We need to find out how.

(SCREECHING)

CREATU RE: (IN DEEP MALE VOICE)
Speak.

My name is John Frobisher,

Permanent Secretary to the Home Office

of the United Kingdom
and Northern Ireland,

Earth.

On behalf of the human race, I...

(SCREECHING)

Is there something wrong?

Do you want me to continue?

(RUMBLING)

Then, if I could request,

for the purpose of communication,

we've no name for your species.
What are you called?

You call us 456.

-That's correct.
-Then that is our name.

(TH E 456 SCREECHING)

If I could request,
on behalf of my government,

what is it that you want?

Can you hear me?

I'm sorry, but I need to know
before I approach my superiors,

what exactly do you want?

I must ask the 456 officially
your purpose in visiting...

Speak.

I am speaking.

We would speak.

With who?

The world.

Why?

We would speak.

Well, perhaps we do things
differently here,

but we would consider this to be
a diplomatic liaison.

Does that make sense?

We are both, in a sense, ambassadors.

And according to protocol,

ambassadorial procedure
is not made public.

You wouldn't be speaking
to the entire population,

but to their elected representatives.
That's-that's-that's how it works.

That's all I can offer.

Is that acceptable?

Yes.

Good.

Thank you.

Bring them.

Thank you.

I have one condition.

Does that make sense?
Do you understand that? A condition?

The 456 have made contact
with this country before.

Many years ago.

It would be better if...

I mean, given the nature
of that meeting,

it would ensure the smooth running
of diplomatic relations

between Earth and the 456

if that previous encounter
was kept off the record.

By off the record, I mean private.

Between us.

Can you do that?

Yes.

Thank you.

Soon.

-I'm sorry?
-Return soon.

I will.

Thank you.

The area around Thames House is being
cordoned off while the government...

It is all kicking off now.
Just when we need Jack.

...at Downing Street.
These images are from five minutes ago.

That's been identified as Colonel Oduya
of the Unified Intelligence Task Force.

And this is coming live.

That's General Austin Pierce,
representing the American Armed Forces.

He's heading inside Downing Street
right now.

I've been asked to convey
from the President of the United States

his absolute fury.

-Is that understood?
-Very much so.

That landing wasn't spontaneous.
It was planned.

It was prepared by you.

And don't go calling this diplomacy,
Mr Green.

You've established a court,
the sovereign court of Great Britain,

in direct contradiction of the statutes
of the United Nations.

-We were acting under orders.
-Did they threaten you?

I think we can say that the mere
existence of the 456 is a threat.

Nevertheless, you have
an alien ambassador on British soil.

It has to be said that Britain
has claimed no rights of territory

-or ownership over species 456.
-But it's here.

You've damn well got it right here.

And at every stage of these
negotiations you have excluded U NIT,

when we're specially trained
to deal with these situations.

And I apologise.

But the President's welcome
to enter Floor 13,

as is every other leader
of the free world.

-I... I'd be honoured.
-Except that's impossible.

And you know it.

We will not move the President
into a location

that's had no security screening.

That'll take days to organise. Weeks.

Then I offer to withdraw.

What does that mean?

I won't usurp the United States
or any other nation.

I suggest that dialogue with the 456
is taken out of my hands

-and conducted by the civil service.
-They're still British.

But not elected,
with no authority of state.

And that's exactly what we need,
middle men.

John Frobisher's already spoken
to the 456.

-I suggest he continues.
-I'd suggest that U NIT steps in.

(SIGHING)

I wish it were so,
but the 456 chose Britain.

They designated the location.

It's out of my control.

What do you want to do, anger them?

Look, John Frobisher's a good man.

And better than that, he's expendable.

So, what do you say?

Do we have your absolute guarantee
that you won't enter the room?

My absolute guarantee.

Then that's agreed.

Agreed.

(MOBILE RINGING)

-John?
-Prime Minister, sir.

We've consulted with the military.
They've demanded that from now on

you become our spokesperson
in all negotiations with the 456.

Simon can give you a security briefing.
Thank you.

Shit.

Well, I'm the last to know.

My own husband, he won't tell me
what's going on.

Got the girls pointing at the sky
and he won't say.

No, there's nothing.
Been flicking through the news channels.

They weren't saying anything.

Yeah. Yeah, I know.

If I hear anything, I'll let you know.

Yeah, okay, bye.

(CHILDREN LAUGHING)

Lilly! Downstairs, please.
I want you where I can see you.

ANCHORWOMAN : A so-called
pillar of fire

has brought central London to a halt.

All roads leading to the river
have been closed off.

As a result, all major thoroughfares
have ground to a standstill.

Motorists are being asked

to stay out of the city centre
except for emergencies.

Oh, that's so bloody Jack!
You should have stopped him.

Well, I don't know.
We're going to be ages. It's gridlock.

Bloody London !

Half the people panicking,
trying to get out.

The other half are trying to get in !

Look, I'm going to have to go,
okay? Bye.

Hey, it's all okay, Clem.
You're safe, you're with me.

You're safe. You're with me.

-You're all right. You're safe.
-I keep remembering more.

It's not just them up there.

It's the man.
He's come back, after all these years.

-I can smell him.
-What man? Who is he?

It's the same man.

I knew he'd come back for me.

All right,
time I got you a nice cup of tea.

And a hot dog. Do you like hot dogs?
I bloody love 'em.

I'm recommending we start at 1900.
That gives us another two hours.

Now, this is Louise. She can advise
on international diplomatic protocols.

There's a creature in that room.

It's powerful and it's toxic
and it's capable of God knows what.

I bet you're glad to be trotting
after John Frobisher now.

Stuart's the linguistics expert,

he can help out if there's a problem
with translation.

Oh, excuse me, I'd better take this.

I was going to phone you.
God, I wish I was at home right now.

Look, just tell the girls
that there's nothing to worry about.

Oh, I'll tell them that, Johnny boy.

I'll tell them that their father
tried to have me killed.

How about that?

That's my wife's phone.
How did you get my wife's phone?

This is 1965, isn't it?

All of this because of 1965.

Frobisher, tell me, is it them?
Have they come back?

Yes.

That's why you tried to have me killed.

Along with Andrew Staines
and Ellen Hunt and Michael Sanders.

All of us dead so no one could
say anything, is that it?

I had no choice.

Well, I've got a choice.

Do you want to hear my choice?

I could blow this thing sky-high.
I could tell the world.

Unless you get me into Thames House.

I demand to talk to the 456 myself.

Think about it.

The fact that they've come back
proves that they can't be trusted.

You need me.

Captain, we have your daughter
and grandson.

Alice and Steven Carter are
in our custody.

You what?

I promise, nothing will happen to them.
I absolutely promise.

So long as you agree to say nothing.

Yeah, well, how about I go back into
that house right now and get your wife?

And your children?

Except you won't,
'cause you're a better man than me.

I'm sorry, Jack.

ANCHORWOMAN: The world is still waiting
for any news from Thames House.

So far, the British government
is maintaining

a policy of absolute silence.

And the waiting continues.

-Here you go.
-Mmm.

Save some for the rest of us, mate.

He's your husband?

Yes, yes, my beloved.

N ice house, isn't it?

-Well, we do our best.
-It's got shower facilities.

Just stand under the skylight.

(CH UCKLING)

I've stayed in worse.
And who's the queer?

Oi !

It's not 1965 any more.

He's queer. I can smell it.

If the support staff could take
the stairs,

the lift is reserved for Mr Frobisher
and his personal staff.

Fast as you can !

Best of luck, sir.

Big moment.

H istory.

-What do you think is in there?
-God knows. That's why we need Lois.

No sign of her. Lenses inactive.

Two minutes!

Um, I'm just going to...pay a visit.

-Online. She's doing it.
-Oh, good girl!

I knew she would.

-Oh God, don't do too much of that.
-COMPUTER: Don't do too much of that.

-Sorry.
-She can't hear you.

I know.

COMPUTER: Is that you, Gwen?

Right, then.

-Good luck.
-COMPUTER: Good luck.

No, don't do that. I hate smileys.

Took me a while
to get used to those things.

-What? You've used the lenses?
-Yeah. That's why Gwen had them.

I only took them home for a bit of fun.

Fun?

You know, fun.

Yeah, well, been there, done that.

-It is fun.
-BOTH : Yeah.

-That's him. That's John Frobisher.
-Oh, bastard !

Fat lot of good that is.
Back of his head !

How do we know if he's saying anything?

I suppose it's an honour,
given this position.

Then again, the Prime Minister
has guaranteed

that diplomatically, he can't enter 413.

So whatever happens in there,
whatever goes wrong,

history will say
that it wasn't his fault.

Do you mean he's using me?

You don't get to be Prime Minister
by accident.

What the hell is that?

Some sort of tank.

There's something inside the smoke.

Clem, come see this.

Oh, come on, don't be scared.
It's miles away.

What do you think?

(SNIFFING)

Anything you've seen before?

(SNIFFING)

Can't smell it from here.

Is that what tried to take me?

Yeah, I think so.

-Seen anything like it before?
-Never.

Thank you, if I might bring to session
the first diplomatic congress

between the representatives
of planet Earth

and representatives of the 456.

I bring you formal greetings
from the United States of America,

from the People's Republic of China...

-He's got his back to us.
-Yeah, I can see that.

From the Holy See of Vatican City...

-" Need his moth"?
-Shut up.

From the Russian Federation
and associated...

...of Australia,
from the provinces and territories...

...and Japan, and the Hellenic Republic,

from the Islamic Republic of Iran
and the Republic of Iraq,

from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
and it must be stated on the record

that any country not named herein

does not indicate their withdrawal
from this...

That's it.

Come on, good girl.

...reflects only the time span within
which this summit has been declared.

You've got eyes.

You've got eyes in the room.

The software's not so good in profile.

And according to the rules of protocol
as established...

COMPUTER: ...according to
the rules of protocol...

-That's not too bad.
-It's working.

COMPUTER: ...from 1968,
that which by we...

-You hate smileys.
-Shut up.

I must ask you to state
whether these greetings are accepted.

Do you understand me?

COMPUTER: Do you understand me?

I repeat, according to
the rules of protocol,

as established by the United Nations
and the directives...

THE 456: Yes.

Then I thank you on behalf...

COMPUTER: Then I thank you
on behalf of the United Kingdom.

Did it speak?

It hasn't got a mouth.
It's got bloody speakers.

It hasn't got a mouth!

COMPUTER: The Russian Federation,
the Commonwealth of Australia...

...and territories of Canada,
and Japan, and the Hellenic Republic,

the Islamic Republic of Iran
and the Republic of Iraq.

That's bloody shorthand.

No, I can read it. It says, "Yes."

This is a nightmare.

And the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

I think it might be easier
if we take those names

as read from now on, don't you?

(SCREECHING)

What's it doing?

I don't know.

-"What's it doing?"
-What? Is that what it said?

No, that's Lois saying that.

Are you all right?

I'm sorry, but I can't help
being concerned. Is there a problem?

THE 456: I'm sorry, but I can't help
being concerned. Is there a problem?

Do you want me to continue?

THE 456: Yes.

IANTO: "Yes."

COMPUTER: Right, then,
in the spirit of cooperation...

...we have a formal request to make.

(THE 456 GROWLING)

We ask you not to use our children
for communication,

in case certain parties or territories
might consider that a violation.

Is that acceptable?

THE 456: Yes.

"Yes."

COMPUTER: Thankyou.

Ask it why it came to Britain.

Hardly top of the agenda.

Ask the question.

And as a gift,
and as welcome to this world,

we've prepared a document summarising
our culture and history.

This document can be made available
to you immediately,

though its format remains undetermined.

Said format remains of your choosing,

though this does not constitute
a request for information on

or transfer of specific 456 technology.

I've been given a request
for specific information.

It has been asked

why the 456 chose Great Britain

as its chosen point of embarkation.

THE 456: We came here.

"We came here."

-Because...
-That's all it said.

THE 456: You have no significance.

You are middle men.

(CHUCKLING)

"You have no significance.
You are middlemen."

That's a lie
'cause it's been here before,

that's why it's here now.
Why... Why is it lying?

It's Frobisher.
He's got that thing to lie.

They're on the same side.

Whatever happened in the past,
they're hiding it.

THE 456: We have a request.

By all means.

THE 456: We want a gift.

Of course.

But, uh...what nature of gift...

COMPUTER: What nature of gift, exactly?

A gift, gladly.

But what do you want?

THE 456: We want your children.

We will take your children.

What does it mean, children?

"We will take your children."

What the hell for?

(STAMMERING) I'm sorry, I...

Sorry, I think there might be
a problem with the translation.

They want to take them,
like they did before, like the man did.

(SNIFFING)

-He's coming back. He's coming back!
-Not now, Clem. Just wait.

He's coming. He's coming.

He's coming. He's coming.
He's coming. He's coming.

He's coming. He's coming. He's coming.
He's coming. He's coming.

-By children, you mean...
-Your descendants.

The offspring of the human race.

-How many?
-Ten percent.

We want ten percent.

We want ten percent
of the children of this world.

He hasn't changed. He's the same.

He's the same, he's the same.

All those years...
How can he be the same?

What's he talking about, Jack?

Clement McDonald.

Just another name.

It was easier
if you didn't know the names.

You were there? In 1965?

Walk into the light. Go on.

He was the man.

No, no, this is what he does, you see.
He fights them. He fights aliens.

Isn't that right, Jack?

No.

Then what were you doing there?

I gave them the kids.

1965, I gave them 12 children.

What for?

As a gift.

A man who can't die has nothing to fear.

Three, two, five, zero, zero, zero.

We need a cover story.
