This lemonade. This lemonade's flat.
It's lemonade. It's supposed to be flat.
What? Fizzy, fizzy lemonade?
It's fizzy in the UK and flat in the US.
Hmm. Just about sums it up.

This lemonade. This lemonade's flat.
It's lemonade. It's supposed to be flat.
What? Fizzy, fizzy lemonade?
It's fizzy in the UK and flat in the US.
Hmm. Just about sums it up.
He cockblocked the ATF.
[laughs] I have no idea what any of that means.
Are we really on a mission here?
Yeah, well, maybe this is the way Torchwood does things, mate.
Yeah, well, maybe you want to drive on the other side of the street, mate.
[beat] Oh.
Alright, so do you want to come up with a plan? Or is that just the American thing to do?
[after punching Oswald] Don't you worry, sir. Nothing on your face. You'll still be nice and handsome for the TV. Should have run faster, Oswald.
I was thinking. About how you're immortal. And I'm dying. And what I wanted to say was... we're good aren't we? You and I? Good team. I missed you.
I was thinking that, ah, if this had happened a bit sooner...
I know.
He'd still be here, Ianto.
Dead friends.
I'm sorry.
I wish he was here now. Not much of a team, is it? But we've still got each other. You and me. Just like the old days.
[on video phone] Can you see me? I can see you. Can you see me?
Yes, I can see you. A little too much of you. Put up the baby!
I saw you on television, saying you feel forgiven for taking the life of a child. That's a lie. I know that's a lie.
How do you know that, Jack, with such certainty?
Tell the truth! The murder of Susie Cabena. You don't feel sorry at all.
I felt her life leave, and she left through me. You know that feeling. I think you do. And I relive it, every single night, because that was the best moment of my life.
Now I understand. You're doing all this because you're searching for one thing. One simple thing. Execution. We're without death, so you get to live. And it's killing you.
I'm asking you now to join with me, in this enterprise, as we all walk across the fragile skin of this wide world together. The future is now endless. And it's terrifying, I'm offering you my hand to walk on this long journey. Together. Walk with me. That's all I ask. Walk with me.
It's like there's some sort of energy behind this. A will, a drive, a consciousness, because this miracle, it's more than people just surviving. They are so alive. You saw Lyn, that woman at the airport. She should have been paralysed but she just kept on going. And I've seen bodies at the morgue, burnt and broken, still alive, staring right at me. They weren't even allowed to be unconscious. It's as if something is willing them to go on, each and every individual forced into life.
That was me. All the way through my accident, wide awake.
And you could feel everything that happened? It still hurt?
Yeah.
So what did the search say?
Well, that's the problem. Everybody's had the same idea. Morphic field gets ten million results.
Then I'll go through them, all ten million. [to Rex, pointedly] See, that's what I do when I'm at my desk. Hard work.
[softly] I know.
He cockblocked the ATF.
[laughs] I have no idea what any of that means.
The ATF's the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. They asked the CIA about information on a warehouse here in Washington, but Friedkin forwarded the request onto ancillary three times.
What's ancillary?
It's a paper chase. It's a guaranteed way to lose something in the system.
So if he tried to stop people from seeing the warehouse, then maybe he was paid to protect it, which would indicate there's something in there. It's at Third and Boston, south west.
All right, so we've got a mission. First thing we need to do is steal a new car.
Ahem. So, who's giving the orders?
Okay, Torchwood, what do you say?
We need to steal a new car. [grins]
I saw you on television, saying you feel forgiven for taking the life of a child. That's a lie. I know that's a lie.
How do you know that, Jack, with such certainty—
Tell the truth! The murder of Susie Cabina. You don't feel sorry at all.
The truth is, she flaunted it. Her innocence. Most people, they get hit, whatever - it's hours before the bruises rise up. But they showed right away with her, and it was like... I was painting on her. And she looked so beautiful, I thought it couldn't get any better than that, but... oh, Jack, I swear to you... right then, at the end, I felt her life leave, and she left through me. You know that feeling? I think you do. And I relive it, every single night, because that was the best moment of my life.
Now I understand. You're doing all this because you're searching for one thing. One simple thing. Execution. We're without death, so you get to live. And it's killing you.
