You always remember what you kill, don't you, Jack?
[team discusses the mysterious box]
I think Jack brought that in.
TTosh
No, I'm pretty sure Adam found it on an excavation a few months back.
I'll have a look in the diary. I like to log the interesting stuff.
TTosh
You write about artifacts in your diary?
Among other things. [winks]
Now I have to help you all go back. Find a memory that defines you, rediscover who you are. If I'm wrong, he will still be here when we've done this. [turns off computer screen] Let me take you back to before we all met. [turns off lights] Feel around for anything that makes you what you are. The hidden and the forgotten. Tell me where you are.
College canteen. Rhys is sitting opposite me telling stupid jokes.
[Flashback] - :Rhys: where do you find a tortoise with no legs? Where you left it!
It's my birthday, ten. My mum spends the whole day screaming, ‘I love you because you're my son but that doesn't mean I have to like you.'
TTosh
Maths club. There's something so reliable about maths. Always the right answer.
Meeting Lisa. Falling in love. I never felt so alive.
Turned sixteen, she packs my bags. That is the nicest thing you've done for me in years mother.
Kissing in the supermarket. The look on his face.
TTosh
My first flat. I don't have a flat warming – there's no one I want to invite.
Losing Lisa. Like the world had ended.
The way he looks at me sometimes, as if he's scared of what he feels for me. I love him [turns to Jack] but not in the way I love you.
[to Gwen] Take this [Gwen takes the retcon pill]
TTosh
Knowing there has to be more to life than this, knowing I'm special, waiting for someone to see it.
I saw it [gives her a pill]
You save one life, a hundred lives but it's never enough. Who will save me?
I will [gives him a pill]
Coming here, it gave me meaning again. [Turns to Jack] You. [Jack kisses his forehead then gives him a pill]
[to everyone] You each have a short-term amnesia pill. It will make you forget Adam. We have to wipe out the last 48 hours from our memories. Go back to who we were.
[Ianto takes his pill]
[Cut to Adam in his cell]
[Gwen takes her pill]
[Cut to Adam in his cell]
[Owen takes his pill]
TTosh
[Switches the screen on to look at Adam in his cell] I'm going to lose so much.
None of it was real.
TTosh
He loved me and I loved him. It's no different from real memories.
He forced it on you. You have to let it go
TTosh
[Takes her pill, then looks at the screen] Goodbye Adam.
Oh, by the way, I found your diary.
Ah, yes, I've been looking for that. [starts to walk away]
And for the record, measuring tapes never lie.
[quietly] Fuck.
AAdam
And you always remember what you killed, don't you, Jack?
