RexWell all the guards are going. Regular army's coming in. They'll shut it down.
It was sanctioned. By the government. And they've got my name. They've got my name, I was on staff as Esther Drummond.
Rex
Esther, listen. Stop it, okay? Just stop it. You saved me.
I spent all that time wanting a job like yours. Look at me now.
Rex
It's okay. You're allowed to feel like this. Come here. {he kisses her forehead} But listen to me. This is not over. Not for Torchwood. And I need you in this fight. So get it together. And do it fast.
Done. I'm fine now. I'm ready.
Rex
Yeah. Me too.
OOlivia
He talked about you all the time, Jack. His immortal man in old New York. He never forgot.
Rex
You're telling me the whole world got screwed because two gay guys had a hissy fit?
Rex, get back in your cave.
Rex
Come on, give me a break.
OOlivia
You inspired him. You proved immortality was possible. And he devoted the rest of his life to finding out how to live forever.
And he did it? He's still alive? He's still young?
OOlivia
Oh yes, he's still alive. Angelo Colasanto is still very much alive... But he's not young.
So, these are the Torchwood clowns?
Torchwood did more to piece this together than the entire CIA.
You're that English girl, Cooper...Have I got that right?
No, I'm not English. And I'm not a girl.
Gwen, this is Allen Shapiro. Don't. Really, don't.
Well, he's not scaring me. Hello.
I am sick of her already. Can we deport her? Let's deport her.
Hey, hey, hey, leave her alone.
Rex
Don't touch her.
Rex
Sorry, sir. With all due respect, Gwen Cooper's proven herself to be extremely useful. I think it's worth keeping her on our side.
Because most women that bitter, you've slept with. [to Esther] Did you make that mistake?
Esther Drummond. Rex said you did a good job out in the field.
In my opinion you deserted your post. I'm docking your pay. [to Jack] And what is it with you, Red Baron? You got Snoopy up your ass?
While you're wasting time, Mister Shapiro, we've got the names of the people who are responsible for causing the Miracle. I suggest we get to work.
Torchwood is going to work for the CIA?
I think the CIA can work for Torchwood, if you're lucky.
We've got a plane ready and waiting twenty minutes away. The sooner we pool our resources, the sooner we can end this thing. All right, let's go. Everybody out.
What about him (Angelo)? We've got a very sick man here.
Didn't you read the news? Nobody dies. Now, there's a nurse around here somewhere. You got two minutes. Don't leave them alone. [leaves]
Jack...did we just join the CIA?
[about the Null Field] How does it work?
I can't tell you. That's the point. Just listen to me. I knew this stuff the second I saw it. Yes, it's alien technology. The only examples of it on Earth were in the Torchwood Hub. They were buried in the ruins.
But Angelo had people watching.
He must have salvaged it, knowing the Miracle was coming.
So what did he do? Trigger it with your DNA or something?
Maybe that was revenge, or maybe giving me a clue. But there's only one course of action left now. You have to get me out of here.
Rex
Are you crazy?
Rex
Jack, listen to me. The CIA is not the enemy. That's why I brought them in. Don't you understand? You don't-
[an agent walks past, they quickly pretend to be examining the lattice]
Keep your head down. Be calm.
Rex
Look, you don't need to run anymore, okay? We can protect you.
There's a reason why Torchwood was secret. We kept things hidden from the human race. This technology is a science the world should never know.
I know, Esther, because I've seen the future. I've walked the future world and breathed its air. And this technology would send it to damnation. Just imagine the stealth technology of a null field hiding bombs, hiding planes, shielding one side from radiation while the other side burns. This thing would be the end of us. This timeline would be terminal.
Rex
Whose side are you on?!
Even if the government... Even if the government had this one panel and they put people inside and they died, it's the same thing as the ovens. It's control over life and death, and we've seen that that doesn't work.
But you trust me, don't you? Both of you? After all we've done? Please, I'm begging you, get me out of here. Look, this is the Alpha plate. Without it this is just a bunch of metal. You've got to get me and the plate away from this house.
Rex
Jack, listen to me. We can't, okay? We are the CIA and this is a genuine CIA operation.
This is history, Rex. This is everything. Please, get me out.
You're about to meet the creator.
[As Gwen, Jack and Danes come down in the lift, the Mother goes to meet them. Her guards have their guns ready]
Captain Jack Harkness. At last.
No, no, no, no, this isn't about Jack. No, ma'am. Excuse me, but it's not at all. My name is Oswald Danes. Well. Hmm. Good evening, Miss Kitzinger. You've been promoted. And this is the new empire you're servicing? My, my, my, my, my, my, my.
With all due respect, Mr Danes, you're a by-product of the Miracle. Not really relevant at all.
That's what the Captain said. He tried to tell me that my life has become a very small thing. Tiny. And yet right here, right now, at the very end, I would describe myself differently. I would call myself vital. [Danes opens his coat to reveal a suicide jacket of explosives. He arms the trigger] Madam, you're a fine woman. You should be careful now, very careful indeed. It seems like you've been planning some kind of an explosion, but I'd love to make sure you're still inside.
Well, I'm afraid we have a major disagreement here in Buenos Aires. I'd say advantage Families. Say hello to your friends.
What's that supposed to mean?
Rex
He means us.
Rex? Oh my God. And Esther?
I'm here. They caught us.
Just glad to hear you're alive.
I'll swap your standoff for my standoff. [aims his gun at Esther's head]
Rex
Don't you do it.
But nobody dies. She'll keep on living, just perforated.
Rex
Threaten me, you coward, not her.
Jack If you hurt her, we've got explosives here ready to go.
And don't imagine I won't. Whatever happens here tonight, there's no place on Earth that I can go, and I wasn't planning on coming out of here alive.
[lowers his gun] So, who's gonna lose their nerve first?
The thing is, we don't need explosives or guns or threats, because I've got the most powerful thing of all. [walks to the cleft in the world and cuts his finger. His blood flies into it] It wants me. Mortal blood. The only one in the whole world. So I suggest you're very careful with me, okay?
And if you fail to take the Captain's advice, you can certainly come to oblivion with me. Jack, you're the future man. You've seen wonders beyond this world, so tell us of these Blessings and Miracles.
Rex
So, you found The Blessing and you worked out this morphic field.
The Blessing exists in a symbiotic relationship with the human race. It transmits a morphic field around the planet, binding us together like magnetism, like sunlight.
But finding it wasn't enough. You had to experiment on it.
We fed it the blood of an immortal. We had one remarkable artifact. We found a second remarkable artifact. The combination was inevitable.
So the Blessing absorbed the blood, copied it like a new template. So, the system changed its setting.
You know why it did that? I think you hurt it. It was being attacked, so it took the blood pattern and made it a gift. It's exerting itself to sustain every person on the planet. This whole Miracle, it's trying to be kind.
Rex
You've seen immortality. I'm living it. Why would you want this?
But you ruined the world out there!
The Miracle shocked the economy. The economy collapsed. We tear down in order to rebuild. And now it's almost within sight. The new world.
Yeah, with no room for the poor, the weak or the ones that don't fit in.
That's the way the world works. Now, we're just making it official. The families have just been waiting. Now we can step in to control the banks. The banks control government. The government controls people. Soon we'll be able to decide who lives, how long, where and why.
Oh, great. So it's the world according to Kitzinger, is it?
Listen, you can bleed your liberal heart all over the place, but are you really gonna tell me the world was working before? Because I have worked for the rich and the powerful and the obese. I have stared into the high end of Western society and let me tell you, it is like shovelling an open sewer. These families, they want to make the world fitter, more compact, more disciplined. And I like the sound of that. That sounds like salvation.
But before you launched this brave new world, you had to deal with one more thing. Yeah. Me.
Rex
Listen to me.
Rex
Wait a minute. If you need the blood of Jack Harkness on the other side of the world, then just-
Rex
Just listen to me! Jack! All right. I'm all right. As I was saying, if you need Jack's blood, how about this?
[Rex cuts his finger, and the blood flows to the cleft. The ground shudders]
What was that? What happened?
That's impossible. No way. There's nothing special about you.
Rex
Oh, but there is, when I've got Jack's blood flowing through my veins. It's inside me.
Rex
See, we knew this blood was important, so as soon as we arrived-
We transfused it into Rex. We exchanged his blood for Jack's.
Rex
On most days it might've killed me. But we're all living on Miracle Day.
And everyone thought the blood was gone, so no one even suspected. All we did was keep one final bag, filled the rest with Rex's blood, and Jack's mortal blood...
Rex
...Just walked right in. Hey, Oswald, you want to be a walking bomb?
Rex
Well, try this. Shoot me! Shoot me! Come on! Shoot me!
Rex
Pull that trigger! Splatter my blood! Shoot me!
Get him out! Get him out!
[Jack produces a gun]
Nobody move! Huh? Wow, Rex, you're a genius!
Rex
You just shut the hell up. All right? This shit hurts.
Yeah, we've got blood on both sides of the world, Jack, but-
But they will die. Is that what you want? The Blessing will take every last drop. You'll both die, gentlemen. You'll both kill yourselves. You will die in a pit in Shanghai. Is that what you want?
I think I've lived long enough. Are you ready, Rex?
Rex
Oh, you know I wish I'd never met you, you World War Two idiot. Good times, huh?
Rex
I'll see ya.
Just one last thing, Jack.
You're never gonna be a suicide. [aims her gun at him]
[Jack faces the Blessing]
Rex
Nothing's gonna stop me.
I think this might. [shoots Esther]
[Rex has been shot by Charlotte]
Get help! Clear the area! There might be more!
Oh, come on. No, no, not after everything he's gone through. No!
There's nothing we can do. I'm, I'm sorry, Gwen. I am so sorry. He's dead. [Rex gasps back to life] [shocked] What?!
Rex
What? [rips his shirt open and sees his wound heal] What?!
Rex
You. World War Two. What the hell did you do to me?!
