All language subtitles for Torchwood.S04E02.720p.Bluray.x264-SHORTBREHD

REPORTER: A former schoolteacher convicted

of the rape and murder
of 72-year-old Susie Cab/ma,

Oswald Danes, faces his last moments
on this earth.

- For the past 36 hours...
- No-one has died.

Aah!

Miracle Day.

Did you ever hear of Torchwood?
This thing might be worth following.

MAN: What is Torchwood, anyway?

The Torchwood Institute was set up
by the British Royal Family in 1879

to investigate the strange,
the unusual and the alien.

Don't you see? You were right.
It's all connected.

Torchwood's the key to this whole thing.

- Who the hell are you people?
- Torchwood.

They can't do this! I'm a British citizen,
on British soil.

Yeah? You've been too busy
watching aliens.

The Americans have been getting away
with this for years.

What's that, criticism?
What'll you do, write your MP?

And you, World War II,
I'll take this.

That's nothing. It's harmless.

Then you won't mind me having it.

What the hell are you doing here?

I've been told to assist you
in escorting the prisoners to Langley.

No, no, no. This operation is mine.

I thought of it.
It's my idea, my execution.

You want to piss on the plane?
Make that yours too?

We'd better get out of here
while we still can.

This is costing a fortune

and we've got governments on both sides
of the Atlantic asking questions.

- How's that cut on your arm?
- I'll survive. I'm mortal, not dying.

Well, technically,
I guess I am dying, but slowly.

This thing that's happening to the world,
this miracle.

- It must have something to do with you.
- OK, so it's my fault?

- Can't be a coincidence, Jack.
- Of course it's not a coincidence.

- Doesn't mean to say it's his fault.
- Rhys, are you defending me?

It's like we all got switched, isn't it?

Nothing to do with Jack
if the wires got crossed.

Everything mortal becomes immortal,
so everything immortal becomes mortal.

- See? I can be useful.
- Come on, let's go. Get 'em.

Take the husband back to Wales.

- No, Jack! Andy, no!
- Hey! Hey!

- Where are you taking him?
- I'm arresting Torchwood.

Is he Torchwood? No, he's a spouse.

Now you, go. Get out of here.
Go do spousal stuff.

- Give me my daughter!
- I'm a secret member, man!

You know what?
The spouse can take the baby.

No, you bring her back right now!
Rex, please, I'm begging you!

The more you fight, the more he enjoys it.

- My daughter!
- On the plane.

Rex, please!
Listen! Somebody's been trying to kill us!

- Keep her safe!
- I'll look after her.

- Rhys!
- I promise, Gwen!

- Andy!
- Rhys! Rhys!

I'll look after her, I promise!

Anwen, I'm coming back, all right?
I am coming back!

I will get you for this.
And I'm coming back!

I am coming back, bitch!
I am coming back, you bastard!

Sorry, all I could find
was an aspirin.

It was in the co-pilot's pocket.

I gave it a quick spritz
to take the lint off.

It's Danny, right?

- Yeah.
- Listen. I'm not gay,

but I'll let you feel me up
if you go get me a vodka.

Oh! I'm not gay either.

All right then, I'll let you feel her up
if it'll get me a vodka.

We're supposed to be on duty.

It's medicinal.

What do you think'll happen? They're gonna
kick out a window and jump 30,000 feet?

Trust me. Just sit back and relax.

The next six hours are going to be
filled with boredom,

followed by monotony.

REX: How did I survive?

DR JUAREZ: I ... don't know.

REX: We all become supermen overnight,
is that it?

Do I heal or do I just hurt
for the rest of my life?

Do I just hurt
for the rest of my life ?

They spent a lot of money on us.

Cleared out the whole plane
for the prisoners.

All on the taxpayers' dollar. Not bad, eh?

Every time you turn up,
it always goes wrong.

- COMPUTER: # What did you do?#
- COMPUTER: Argh!

# What d-d-did you do ?

# D-did you do? What did you... #

Some people really have nothing
better to do with their time.

Oh, come on!
The man's a murdering paedophile.

It's not like he even died.
He's fine.

Leave him to his frat humour.

The idea you can't kill your enemies

has an inflammatory effect
in some quarters.

The word from Rwanda is
a Hutu village was destroyed.

Men, women and children -
brains bashed with hammers,

then thrown into a pit
and bulldozed over.

Yesterday I handed in a report to Alan

noting that 80% of India is Hindu

and that reincarnation
was no longer on the table.

Nothing to keep people's
behaviour in check,

so I predicted the most likely outcome
was war with Pakistan. This morning,

the Indian prime minister announces
his desire to reconcile with Pakistan,

saying if they have one life,
they have to make it count.

Who can predict this?
It's never happened before.

Oh, my God!

- Rex is coming back.
- Well, some things we can predict.

And he's bringing Torchwood with him.

Are you ever going
to give that thing a rest?

What was it anyway?

Sorry. Mr...Mr Friedkin?

I understand you're handling
the Torchwood thing?

I'm Esther Drummond, analyst.

I was liaising with Rex Matheson
on the rendition.

And now he's bringing
those people back...

This is a Clandestine matter now.

Not for the Directorate of Intelligence,
understand?

Yes, but the way Torchwood
disappeared online, sir.

I... Well, I spent six months
compiling the malware list.

It's kind of a passion of mine and...

whatever that intrusion was,
it was fascinating

and I just thought I could help.

So, er...are you thinking
of changing directorates?

I wouldn't mind going where the fun is.

That sounds like Rex.
His idea of fun may be misleading.

So, er...you were working
closely with him?

He's...keeping you up to date?

Yes, sir. We make quite a good team.

Well...

I'll bear that in mind.

Er...thank you...Esther.

Thank you, sir.

Be fair, I had no way of knowing
Rex was going to pull that stunt.

You know the way it works, Jack.

Every time anyone ever gets close to you,
nobody has a normal life again.

And do you know what really,
and I mean it, really pisses me off?

What took you so long?

I have to nearly explode
before you turn up?

- Did you miss me?
- Yes.

I...

I started to think I'd be like
some kind of fairy tale.

I'd be an old woman and you'd just...

turn up out of the blue.

Visit my granddaughter.

I'd be ancient
and you'd be exactly the same.

Where did you go, Jack?

- A long way away.
- And did it help?

Hey, lovebirds.
Let me ask you a question.

What the hell
is this thing, huh?

All it does is go bleep.

- So give it back to me.
- Yeah, I'm sure you'd like that.

What does it do,
measure how mortal you are?

Still don't believe me?

- Please!
- The whole world can't die,

but I'm the one who's being ridiculous.

Tell me then, fly boy. What happens
to us when we get to America?

- Oh, you'll be interrogated.
- You stupid, tiny, bloody little man.

For starters, we don't know anything.
And even if we did,

- why didn't you just ask?
- Oh, hey, listen. I...

I'm sorry,
maybe I didn't explain it earlier.

I don't think
you actually know...anything.

I mean, come on... Look at you two,
you're not that bright.

What you are is connected.

And someone has made a link

between that old institute of yours
and the miracle.

And now they want to kill you for it.

So, we work out what the connection is
and then we start to solve it.

So is anyone doing investigations
on morphic fields?

On the what fields?

The Sheldrake Theory -
the passing of connective information

through the process
of morphic resonance.

- I'm sure it is!
- The theory states

that a bunch of monkeys on an island
learn how to use a rock as a knife.

Then a bunch of monkeys on another island
10,000 miles away

also learn how to use a rock as a knife.

Because they're connected
through a morphic field.

Come on now!
That's just science fiction.

Except it's not a theory, it's a fact.

And the amazing thing about the miracle

is not that no-one's dying, it's not
that the human race has become immortal.

It's that it happened to everyone
at the same time.

Don't you see? It was instantaneous.

And that's a morphic event on a scale

that I have never seen before,
so whatever's happening to this planet,

it is massive!

By the way, your sodium's low.

- My what?
- That bleeping.

It's found low sodium levels
in your blood.

You need salt.

REX: Oh, boy.

That's good.

TV: How about those who say we 're
two months from Ma/thus/an disaster -

population grows exponentially,

the amount of water
and arable land stays the same.

Now, in the past, you've suggested
that the singularity would save us.

INTERVIEWEE ON TV:
This is the singularity.

Iris just not whet we expected.
Look, as a spec/es,

we 're perfectly capable of adapting
to the current state of affairs.

We discovered fire,

we found the boundaries of irrigation,
mapped the genome, walked on the moon.

As a species, we'll find the way.

But what if the planet dies out
from under us ?

The. . . the food and water supplies
are also...

They're being hurt, right now,
every day.

Ana' I'm saying that we have the capacity
to deal with this challenge.

TV HOST: Let's hope so. Thank you.

We asked psycho/ogiIst Grace London

will the miracle make suicide rates
go up or down ?

Does suicide even exist any more ?

Coming up at' 77. 30,
a live interview with Oswald Danes.

TV HOST: Now do you recall
the lily pad parable ?

If you ha ve one I/Zv pad
float/ng on a pond

and double it every day,

eventually the entire pond
will be covered.

But the day before,
it's only half-covered.

Man lying forever, dying...

Excuse me,
that food is for everyone.

The food is for guests.

Right, but it's meant to be shared.

I spent six years
in solitary confinement.

That's when you can really taste it...

...the piss.
The piss that they put in my food.

Oh, you can cover it with cream
and gravy and salt, but...

that's the thing about piss,
it has a way of enduring.

- Well, you're not in prison any more.
- Oh, sweetheart!

I am free on the most
beautiful technicality.

When the world's stretched
to a breaking point,

who knows when it's all
going to snap back? You see...

this gentleman over here?

He's supposed to be escorting me, but...

he's actually just waiting
to lock me up again.

Isn't that right, sir?

Hm? Huh?

And besides, if I stay a free man,
who will give me a job? You?

- Answer me, would you?
- No.

Now you see my problem.

There's going to be a mob outside my door
for the rest of my life.

And life is now a very long time.

So excuse me

if I take food where I can find it.

I hope you choke.

Dr Juarez? It's your favourite patient
here and you have that something I want.

- You sound like my ex-husband.
- Really?

So does he call

- wanting drugs and sex?
- Yes.

Good man, but for now,

I'll just settle for the drugs.

Hey, let me ask you a question.
Um, do I have low sodium levels?

As a matter of fact, you have.

And you didn't tell me?

It seemed like the least
of your problems at the time.

Danny, bring me some pretzels...

the salty kind.

So listen,
meet me at the airport in six hours.

And if you bring the painkillers,

I'll let you examine
the last mortal man in the world.

WOMAN: That's a code red, everyone!

Tanker truck smashed into a store.

180lb middle-aged man,
full-thickness burns, 45% of his body.

Respiration's shallow.

We got a female, early 20s,
compound fracture to both legs.

Female, late 30s, flaccid tetraparesis,
thinking C5-C6, or maybe it's the brain.

MALE DOCTOR: OK, Lorraine,
I want you managing the team.

And I want you coordinating
with Samuel, OK?

This one's expectant.
Call the burn unit. Keep morphine handy.

And she's expectant as well.
I want neurosurgery down here.

Take this one over to red assembly, OK?
She's going to have to wait.

Oh, my God, we're doing it wrong.

- Everyone, we're doing it wrong!
- We don't have time.

We have nothing but time. Nobody's
expectant here, nobody's going to die.

The first 60 minutes after a trauma,

the golden hour?
There's no golden hour anymore.

All our reflexes are wrong.

I don't understand,
what do you want us to do?

Don't you see? Even the worst injured
aren't going to die.

So, we need to do this backwards.
Reverse it! We're desperate for beds,

so we treat minor injuries first.

If you can get somebody out
in ten minutes, get them out.

Free up the beds
for the ones who need help.

OK, Samuel, start again.
Start again.

Over here. Reverse the procedure.

I've just changed
the entire procedure for triage.

I'm not supposed to be doing that.

The dean of medicine's supposed
to be down here.

She's not in the hospital,
she's at the panel.

- What panel?
- Emergency meeting.

Administrators of all the local hospitals,

they're trying to get together
and figure out what to do post-miracle.

They're making decisions?

Based on what?
They have no idea what's going on here.

Where is this meeting?

Hey, could we have
something to drink?

I am not allowed to talk to you.

Give it to us silently.

I am not allowed to talk to you.

They can have water.
It's OK, I can supervise it.

Water? I'm American, too.

Can't I contribute

to our global cultural hegemony
with a nice frosty cola?

Are they terrorists?

Go and ask Rex if he wants a drink.

He'll have a vodka.

Just go ask him.

He said he's had
too many painkillers.

Oh.

Thanks.

When do we land?

I'm still not allowed to talk.

So we were painting the cottage,

I was going to be planting
roses out front...

I thought salt air killed roses?

Rugosa roses, Jack.

They're called rugged roses,
full of thorns.

Salt air doesn't bother them,

- they put up a good front.
- Hm.

And you're aware there's
an emergency legal mandate

being passed through the courts
right this very second

specifically dedicated
to sending you back to prison?

I understand that, yes.

And what's your response to that?

I'll follow the letter of the law.

Are you aware of how many people
you've upset just by walking free?

I understand that.

Yes, but do you understand
how people feel?

They are disgusted. They are...

horrified.

The legal campaign to reverse
your force majeure ruling

has already gathered
over half a million dollars.

What's your reaction to that?

I'm sure any of those people would
find a statement from me offensive,

and I don't wish to add
to their distress.

It's better if I say nothing.

You've got nothing to say?

I think it's best.

Mr Danes, have you got nothing
to say when you see this?

It's a face we all recognise
from your trial -

Susie Cabina.

And she was 12 years old, Mr Danes.

Have you got anything to say now?

Perhaps you'd like to use
this opportunity, live on television,

to say something to her family?

We should not be watching this.

He's a monster.

It's our job to monitor everything.

And public opinion's swinging
left and right like crazy over Danes.

It's a miracle made visible,
right there.

Some miracle.

We're waiting, Oswald.

Do you have anything to say?

Anything at all?

S-S...

S...

I'm sorry.

Excuse me?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

OSWALD DANES: I'm so sory.

If we had any human dignity,
we would turn this thing off right now.

Is that it?

Is that all?

I truly am.

I swear.

You didn't say "sorry" at your trial.

I know.

I couldn't, I was...

I was scared.

It's true.

I tried to.

I tried. I tried.

- I tried, I tried.
- Poor bastard.

Are you kidding me?

You are not feeling sorry for him.

No, but...

It's a mess.
The whole thing, it's just...

...it's a mess.

Please.

What good is sorry, Mr Danes?

Is it going to do anything

for Mrs Cabina every morning
when she wakes up?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry! I...

I'm sorry.

So, what about you?
You think he means it?

Not my job.

You know the rules -
too strong of an opinion

can interfere
with the process of collection.

One of these days you're actually going
to have to commit yourself, Esther.

You can't just watch the world all day,
even in this job.

In the end...you have to take sides.

Mr Danes.

- Um, sorry, Mr Danes...
- Please.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry
for what I said before.

Thank you. That's very kind.

Ooh, hold it! Hold it!

Wait!

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

I don't suppose you have the time,
do you?

Five after two.

Is it?

Oh, thanks.

I am so stupid. I forgot to change
the battery in this thing.

Supposed to just do it once a year,
Halloween or Christmas.

But then you're thinking about
candy or presents, aren't you?

I thought you were very good.

I'm sorry?

Jilly Kitzinger, Mr Danes.
I'm something of a talent spotter.

That was the most
amazing performance.

Oh...

It wasn't a performance.

Um, right. No, of course. No.

My mistake.
Please, officer, don't shoot!

But here's my business card.

I'm in public relations.

Not for this channel.
I have other...employers.

I don't need you.

I disagree, Mr Danes.

You have what we call
a high media quotient.

Oh, everybody hates me.

No. No, that interview has you trending
on Twitter and the hashtag says "forgive".

You're really very good.

Of course there'd be a fee.
But I'd only take 10% of your earnings.

Good luck. That's 10% of nothing.

You didn't get paid for that?

It was a news show.

They don't pay.

Huh! OK...Oswald.

OK, that's really very funny.

You mean you didn't...
You just didn't make a cent?

- Really?
-

OK, that is positively hilarious.
Well, now I wish I could stay.

I'm needed in Washington,
but you hold onto my card, sir.

Cos there's a reason churches are empty.
People don't want to hear about heaven.

They'd rather hear from a man who has
gazed into hell itself and that's you.

And frankly, I think, if the devil himself
were to walk this Earth,

he'd need representation.

If the devil himself walked this Earth,

he'd surely be working in PR.

Mr Danes!
Oh! I thought you'd left, sorry, um...

but Mr Tepper sent me,

Oprah Winfrey's people are on the phone.
She wants to talk to you.

She asked for you personally.
She wants you on the show.

Looks like I'm doing fine
without you.

Mm-hm.

All the same, keep the card.

L...think not.

I'm Dr Vera Juarez.
They told me there was a panel.

This is the place. Sign in.

I'm not on any kind of list.
No-one's expecting me.

I'm not an administrator,
I'm a surgeon.

This isn't my usual job either. You think
you're the first doctor to happen by?

We're taking anybody we can get.

Panels are on the first three floors.
Pick one and join in.

The world's screwed up.
You want to help or not?

Thank you.

MAN: Apoptosis is still going on.

Thank God. Otherwise we'd drown
in our own skin cells.

WOMAN: Apes, chimps, bonobos,
all appear to be dying as usual.

Humanity is the only species affected.

MAN: Human-to-human organ transplants
will stop within the next 12 hours or so.

- We're simply running out of donors...
- You'll just have to cooperate...

MAN: Maybe this is the singularity
and it's physical.

But that doesn't mean
that it originated on Earth.

WOMAN: Simran, surely you're not arguing

that this is some kind of
extraterrestrial virus?

SIMRAN: Well, I'm not ruling it out.

No virus known to man
could spread so rapidly.

MAN: You're not the person they said
would take coffee orders?

Dr Vera Juarez.

- Oh.
- I got something

from Koontz at Tel Aviv Medical.

They're reporting
all cellular necrosis has stopped.

We know that.

Right, but the question is
what's happening instead?

They tried killing living tissue
in the laboratory, but the tissue

- has gone into hibernation.
- Wait a minute,

they're killing "living" human tissue?

What does that mean?

Look, I saw a man who was
in that explosion at the CIA.

No way his heart was pumping oxygen
to his brain, but...he could move.

He could see.

People aren't just living,
it's like they're too alive.

Yeah, how is that hibernation, Jim?

Tell the Israelis they're insane.

- OK, coffee orders.
- Oh, thank God.

The point is,
the hibernation isn't fixed.

There's a natural oscillation
they've been tracking.

Oscillation? You mean like someone
turning a radio dial up and down on life?

Well, basically up, yes.

Why does Howard at Mass General
keep asking for more antibiotics?

Who knows? Mass General has plenty of
supplies. What Koontz is saying...

He's not asking for his hospital,

he...he's talking
about a policy change.

That's his fourth post today.

But what does he want?
A painkiller nation?

What does he mean?

Oh, my God.

He's right.

The human race
has become germ incubators.

Hospital beds are filling up

because the people
who should die don't,

including people with infections.

If they were dead,

then the infection could prey
on the corpse and nobody would mind.

But instead they're going to stay
in the living body and...

Multipy.

And if we keep
giving them antibiotics...

The infections will become
more and more resistant.

Give it six months and drug-resistant
organisms will be everywhere.

Whichever way you look at it,
this situation can only get worse.

Back in your seat.

I'm going to throw up.

It's all right. I'll take him.

You know, it'd be really ironic
if you were airsick,

dressed up like a flying ace and all.

I look like hell.

Ha! Yeah, your looks are exactly
what we're concerned about here.

I don't like the timing of this.

Someone wants to take Torchwood out.

- I warned you.
- Look,

I know the food's not too hot,
but I doubt you've been poisoned, OK?

- People get sick. It happens.
- Maybe you're right.

Every bug in the world
is probably out to get me.

I haven't developed any resistance.

I...l never needed it.

What are you saying?
Immortality leads to hypochondria?

You heard about anything
going on with Rex?

Sorry, I'm kind of busy.
Why, what's going on?

Um, two men are in his office.

One was getting his hard drive,
the other's going through his files.

It's nothing to do with me.
I've got to get this to Alan,

he's writing part of
the President's briefing.

- Sure. See if he's heard anything?
- I'll ask him, yeah.

Hello?

Esther Drummond?

Yes.

This is Carla Hennessy
of Pacific Monument Bank.

We'd like to thank you for banking with us
and discuss some investment options.

- Is this a good time?
- No, actually, this isn't a good time...

Investment options?
I have nothing to invest.

Well, $50,000 isn't nothing,
Miss Drummond.

Ith/hk you '// find we can ofier
a very good return on a six-month CD.

I haven't got $50,000.

It was a wire transfer,
made at midday today.

Made by who?

There's no name, only a pass code.

- But the transact/on came from China.
- I have to go.

We've closed down her desk,
but there's no sign of her, sir.

Well, she can't get anywhere
without her ID,

and that's chipped.

I mean, wherever she goes
we should know it.

We found the ID.

It was in the trash can.

Where was the trash can?

Of course I've got my ID.

Hey, Esther.

Looks like we're going
to be working late.

Yeah?

You didn't hear?
China's making threats to the UN.

They're going to undervalue
the currency down to 50%.

Said with the population explosion

by the end of the year,
they need to focus now...

NOAH: The question is, are they going
to stop at 50 or go lower?

What do you think?

Yeah.

Going to the briefing?

Yeah, just gotta, um...

do things. Busy. Hold on!

Tell Forsyth
I had to go to Cyber Division, OK?

Charlotte Wills exited the secure area
of the sixth floor at 15.53.

And she swiped the elevator
at 15.54.

Where is she now?

I can't tell. I can issue
a full security alert if you want?

No, no.
This is just an exercise, that's all.

Why don't we, um,
see how they do in finding her?

Esther Drummond.

NOAH: Yeah, she's in Cyber Division.

I just saw her, second floor.

She didn't leave the building.
She couldn't with the wrong ID.

And she'd have to pass
at least one checkpoint.

Look at you,
I can't believe you're still on duty.

You've been working double shifts
the past, what, three days, four days now?

Three days running.

Nice of you to notice.
You're the only one.

I guess the money
makes it worth it, huh?

You'd think, but double my pay
amounts to double nothing.

Oh, well, if you ask me,
you're worth your weight in gold.

You drive safe now.

Oh, I will.

I'm sorry, we didn't have time
for a handover. There's no medication.

Don't talk to the prisoners.

You gave him a drink.
What did you do to him?

- What was in it?
- Take it easy.

Are you saying I poisoned him?

He drinks, he's sick. If you did anything,
you'd better bloody tell me.

I didn't! She was with me. Tell them,
I didn't touch their drinks, did I?

This is ridiculous.
No-one's poisoned anyone.

Hold on. You went to supervise him.
That's what you said, "supervise".

Who needs supervising
pouring a drink?

- What did you supervise exactly?
- So now you're accusing anyone?

It's you or the big gay steward,
so my money's on you.

- I'm not gay.
- Just search her, Rex, please.

- Look, you know no-one can die.
- Oh, yeah? What if you're wrong, Rex?

What if your big success
is one Welsh woman and a dead body?

Huh? Just search her,
that's all I'm saying, search her.

Rex, please, search her. Please.

All right, if it'll shut you up.
Let me see your bag.

- Hey!
- Put that down!

You stay right there.

- What did I say? Poison.
- Is that the first assumption you make

when you find medicine
in someone's handbag?

Well, if it's medicine,
I'm sure one pill won't hurt you.

That's a damn good idea. Take it.

Why would I take that? It's poison.

You just said...

I just said it was quite an assumption.

Yes, I carry poison.
I run a lot of agents,

you never know
when they might need it.

OK, well,
if you didn't give him anything,

then there's no harm in telling us
what kind of poison is in this bag.

Yeah. Get over here.

- Don't touch me!
- Sit down. Stay right there.

Stay right there.
Tell me what you gave him.

- I didn't give him anything.
- Just tell us what it is, all right?

Let me see.

Urgh...

Uh...

Uh!

GWEN: Here, here.

Cyanide. Are my lips blue?

- No, you're just pale.
- Not cyanosis.

Um, let me...

OK, maybe this.

Had a boyfriend who took arsenic.

Uh!

Same consistency.

You had a boyfriend
that took arsenic?

Yeah, Slovenian.
Took arsenic for better skin.

Hold up, I've read about that.
That was back in the 1800s, though.

Never mind about that.
The point is, how do we fix this?

How do we cure arsenic poisoning?

I don't know.

- Rex, not now.
- How do you cure arsenic poisoning?

Wh... Is this some kind of joke?

Listen, I have someone here with
a headache, nausea and convulsions.

We think he was given arsenic.

Yeah, well, then take him to a hospital.

- I have to get back to work.
- No, don't hang up! Just listen.

We are stuck on a plane over
the Atlantic. What else can we do?

Tell him he's lucky.
Great time to be poisoned. He can't die.

This is the mortal man,
the one I was telling you about.

- Seriously, I think this man can die.
- Now you believe me.

You shut up!
Vera, what the hell can we do?

Jesus, I don't know.

- I suppose you can try chelation.
- OK, chelation. What is it?

You can remove toxic metals from the body
by introducing competing chemicals

that bind them up
and make them inactive.

- So what do we give him?
- I...I suppose EDTA.

But if you're on a plane,
you won't have that.

What's EDTA?

- Who are you?
- Just tell me, what's EDTA?

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid.

What's that when it's at home?
What's it made of?

I don't know.
I'm a doctor, not a chemist.

Yeah, is there nobody in the entire CIA
that is a poisons expert?

Yeah, but the CIA just poisoned him.
Seriously, you're all I've got.

- I'm watching the man die.
- Oh, my God. This is stupid.

Everybody, today's challenge -
create EDTA

using only materials
that can be found on a plane.

I'm serious. Now quickly, come on.

OK, I've got it. This might work.

Tell them they need two things...

Formaldehyde?

And ethylenediamine?

You are not giving me formaldehyde!

You can shut up!
OK, now where do we find this?

You can make formaldehyde.

By oxidising methanol? How the hell
do we oxidise methanol at 30,000 feet?

Um, some laptops
use fuel cells with methanol.

Um, not standard batteries,
they have to be fuel cells.

Laptops. Try laptop fuel cells.

Danny, check all the laptops,
see if one of them are fuel cells.

Now! Quicker than that, Danny.
For God's sake! Now!

And you'll need a catalyst.
That would be...

- Silver, get me silver.
- I'm on it.

Damn it.

Oh, and they need ammonia.

You need to find ammonia.

OK, cleaner... You must have cleaner
in the loos or the bathroom.

Faster, faster, faster! Come on.

Yeah, that looks like silver.

Next!

We're going to need to heat this up.

Right.

Where's the dichloroethane?
We need dichloroethane.

Dichloroethane. It's in degreaser.

Oh, that... We don't have that...stuff.

Do not say that, Greta.
You must have some somewhere.

We don't use it.

- I don't go around degreasing.
- No?

The automated system
takes care of it.

The automated system,
the automated system.

The ACRS.
It works like the de-icer.

There's a central pump, then the tubing
distributes it throughout the plane.

Tubing?

- Orange tubing.
- Where's the tubing?

- In the floor.
- In the floor?

Oh, you're damaging the floor!

Yeah, and I'll rip this plane apart
with my bare hands if I have to,

and you're going to help.
Now get over there and help!

TOGETHER: One, two, three, up!

It's wires.

It's just bloody wires!

All right, rip the panels up.
Rip 'em all up.

Brilliant, your prisoner is sick
and you're destroying the plane.

Careful with those wires.

Looking a bit worried there, Rex,
like this might all be your fault.

You put us on this plane.

There's no orange tube!

Is there something between you two?

- What?
- You and World War ll.

I'm married with a baby.

Yeah, married, baby, whatever.

You two argue like people
who are real close.

Yeah, well, did you have a thing

- with your poisoner friend over there?
- Yeah, we did.

- Oh, you did?
- But we got on each other's nerves.

Really? Can't imagine

And there is no orange tube here.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

- It's a degreaser, right?
- Yeah.

So you use a degreaser where
there's grease. So where's grease?

Um... Um, moving parts. Moving parts...

- Danny, Danny, moving pans.
- Where's the access conduit

to the landing gear?

- Come on!
- Here.

- Move this.
- Move it up, move it up.

Greta, Give me a hand. Ready?

- One, two, three.
- Don't damage it, you idiots.

Orange! Look, it's an orange tube!

REX: I see it. I see it.
I see it, I see it.

- OK, give me your knife.
- Knife.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. We've got
to be careful because it's not labelled.

If it's part of the oil system,
we're screwed.

Yeah, whatever.

Oh, get a cup. Get a cup.
Gather it, man. That's it.

Oh, that's beautiful.

That's beautiful!

Yay!

- Whoo!
- Yes!

Final ingredient - touch of cyanide.

Are you sure that's right?

Chelation means replacing
one toxic substance with another.

It's not enough to kill him...

...hopefully.

There. I knew diabetes
would be useful one day.

Lovely.

Now, I'm going
to need your tie, Danny.

- Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.
- Come on, come on.

Right.

Lovely.

- He'll need help with his coat.
- Yup.

Be careful with his coat.

GWEN: That's it.
That's it, as quick as you can.

OK, take his sleeve up.

I...l heard cyanide.

Ssh, trust me.
It's going to be all right.

No, it won't. Don't let her do this,

- she'll kill you.
- Shut up.

Oh...

You're not filling me with confidence.

- Be careful. That's my good tie.
- And you're definitely not gay?

- It was one time, OK?
- All right, Jack, don't move.

Here we go.

REX: Whoa!

That was your last chance.

Yeah? What are you going to do about it?

If you're the best England's
got to offer, then God help you.

I'm Welsh.

It's OK!

- Hurry up.
- Ahh!

Jack?

Aaargh!

OK. Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Aa-argh!

The doctor said it was going to burn, OK?
Jack, I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry. I think it's corrosive.

It's working though, yeah?
It's working?!

Oh, please, God, say it's working.
Jack?

What is it?

- Yes. Yes.
- It's working?

- Yes.
- Nice work. Nice work.

- Hey!
- Behave!

You know, it's always better to return
with three healthy prisoners.

Sit down.

Jesus.

MR FRIEDKIN: What about Lyn?

Has she said anything about
who put her up to this or why?

No, we won't get anything out of her
for a while, she's unconscious.

All right. I'll take care of it.

A security force will meet you
at the airport.

We'll find out what's going on.

Sounds good.

Go get him.

It's proof.

We have absolute proof.

We compared
the telomeres from yesterday

with the telomeres from 48 hours ago.
There's no doubt,

they're shortening,
which means...we're still aging.

- What kind of immortality is that?
- It's the story of Tithonus.

One of the Greek goddesses asked Zeus
to make Tithonus immortal,

but she forgot to ask for eternal youth.

He became so ancient and decrepit,
he eventually shrank into a cicada.

- He begged for death.
- This is no miracle. This is just...

This just means that sooner or later
we're all going to hell.

But the whole thing could be temporary.
For all we know,

- it could revert to normal by tomorrow.
- But we can't assume that.

We can't assume anything.

All we know is that things
are different now.

Look, what do we know
about the dead?

They accumulate.

So now what we have accumulating
are people who should be dead,

but aren't.

Will they be in pain forever?
We don't know.

But while we wait,
they're suffering.

And death won't
take care of them for us.

What they need most of all
is pain management.

I assume you're giving them medication.

That's my point. We have to start
manufacturing painkillers immediately,

by presidential order if necessary.

We have to rebuild the entire system
of healthcare in this country right now.

If we sit back
and assume this will pass,

we'll have a disaster on our hands.

I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry to bother you,

but actually, do you think
that I could borrow a cigarette?

Oh, sure.

- Thank you.
- Oh, God!

Oh, thank you. Oh!

I don't suppose anyone actually
really borrows a cigarette though.

Can you hold this for one second?
Thank you.

Mm! It's more like theft.
So now I've stolen your property. Sorry.

You're a busy woman.

Oh, well, you should talk,
acting head of surgery.

Dr Juarez, isn't it?

Oh, there it is.

Thank you. Thank you. Sorry.

- Is that one mine? Thank you.
- Have we been introduced?

No, but I saw you in the meeting.

And I hope you don't mind me saying,
but you were magnificent.

- Uh-huh.
- Just everyone in there,

just yap, Yap, Yap,

And you just cut right through.
It was...

I...I could have stood up and applauded.

- So what were you doing in there?
- I'm sorry.

Jilly Kitzinger, public relations. Yes.
Let me give you my card. Here.

OK, that's the PhiCorp logo.

I don't need a drug rep. Thanks.

No, I know. I know, I know, I know.

I know. I said,
"They're working hard in there.

"They don't need me getting in the way."

But my boss was like, "Jilly!"
And he gave me that look.

So... But it's destiny, I think.

Here we are, you and me,
working together.

Please, take it.

No, thanks.

- Just in case.
- I don't need your help.

I disagree.

Have you considered January the 15th,
Dr Juarez?

What's January 15th?

Mmm, well, January 15th of this year,

the Senate Committee
For Drugs And Alcohol

voted to ring-fence
the national stockpile of surplus drugs

for use only by
the Civil Defense Programme,

which does not technically
include this current scenario.

But you need that stockpile immediately.

So a very clever doctor
would be talking to her senator

to reverse that decision immediately.

I don't know. Just a thought, right?
Never say never.

- So you specialise in pain management?
- Mm-hm.

I don't suppose
you have any samples with you?

Ha! I might, I might.
I'm sure I have a personal supply.

This one too, she's under arrest.

Mr Friedkin wants a full debriefing.

He has section chiefs from Clandestine
and Intelligence on standby.

We have a secure van outside
waiting to take the prisoners to Langley.

- This way. Thank you.
-

Yeah, who's this?

It's Esther, I'm calling from a different
number. Did you get my messages?

I haven't had a chance. Why?

Will you listen
to your voice-mail sometime?

We are being set up. They...

They cleaned out your office

and there's $50,000 in my bank account.

Whoever's doing this, I bet they'll be
waiting for you when you arrive.

Someone is trying
to erase Torchwood, right?

What if they 're also
trying to erase anyone

who's ever had any contact
with Torchwood?

Rex, do you hear me?

Rex, do you hear me?

Oh, yeah? Wow, that's, um...

That's wonderful.
Yeah, it's great to be back.

If it looked like we were traitors
being paid off, all they'd have to do

is lay a false trail to Beijing
or wherever while our bodies

are in some shallow grave
in Virginia somewhere.

Maybe se vera/ gra ves
now that death Ash 't what it used to be.

Yeah, well,
that idea is extremely relevant.

Oh, you're with them?

Yeah, that seems to be
the ongoing situation.

Rex, just get out of there.
/ don't know what's going on,

but get out.

Yeah, yeah, I've got you.
That's confirmed.

I'll be outside Arrivals in a blue Mini.
Make it quick.

- They'll be looking for this car soon.
- All right. Copy that.

Hey, you know,

I just remembered there's
one final piece of legislation needed

to make this a full
and proper rendition.

And according to recent amendments
to US Code section 3184

and section 3185 in transferring prisoners
from airside to landside,

the law clearly states that, um,
once they touch down on American soil,

they have free and easy access
to one very important thing.

- And what's that?
- Bullshit.

- See ya.
- Hey, hey!

- Ah!
-

Crazy bitch.

Even if we can get past,
how do we get out?

You know what US Immigration is like
at the best of times.

Hey, what the hell are you
waiting around here for?

We're stuck,

- thanks to you.
- Oh, my God,

you two are idiots. You're already
landside. Take a look around.

You're at the baggage claim for domestic
flights. You could just walk out of here.

- Now come on and follow me.
- Hey, you get us arrested, OK?

You break up my family,
you nearly get Jack killed,

- why should we go anywhere with you?
- Because I have a car.

Here, take your...thing.

- Excuse me, sir?
- Yes?

Those two men over there
in the black suits,

I think I overheard
them talking about a bomb.

Now are you glad I didn't let you
bring your kid? Imagine her here

in the middle of all this.

So how about thinking at some point
that maybe I did something good?

- Ah! Perfect timing.
- This had better be worth it.

Hey, what are you doing?
That's not the car. This is the car.

She just came to bring me drugs.
Sorry, babe, got to go.

- What do you mean? Where are you going?
- What sort of getaway car is this?

I thought you Americans all had
these big SUVs. This is rubbish.

- Get in, get in.
- Dr Juarez.

Oh, Esther, isn't it?

Hi.

Hey, I told you already,

- you can't stay here.
- I know. I know, I'm sorry. We're going.

Rex, you've got to work
on these escape plans.

- Where are we going?
- REX: Just anywhere.

Hey, did I tell you that they'd bribed me
with twice as much as you?

Oh, sh...

REX: Jesus.

All right, just...just drive. Drive.

- There!
- She stole the car. Let's go!

What the hell was that? Was that Lyn?

What the hell is going on?!

Welcome to Torchwood.

OSWALD DAN ES: Something happened
to all of us.

Miracle Day arrived
and we all came out of it changed.

This woman's husband strangled her.

She doesn't die,
so he keeps strangling her,

and you're telling me that's not murder?

We're not even allowed to say
"attempted murder" any more,

cos murder is impossible.

Is it Boston Street?

Go. go, go, go!

Some son of morphic field
suspended the human race.

It's more than people just surviving.
They are so alive.

They were ready for the miracle.
PhiCorp knew it was coming.

What the hell is the matter with you?
Don't you know how serious this is?

And who the hell put youin charge?

As far as I can see,
you got all your staff killed.

They were my friends.

- Yeah, dead friends.
- Rex, don't.

- Who the hell are you people anyway?
- No, Rex. Rex, hold on...

Rex, no!

Tell the truth!

You don't feel sorry at all.
