Gwen Cooper's proven herself to be extremely useful. I think it's worth keeping her on our side.
Did you sleep with her?
[outraged] Pardon me?!
Because most women that bitter you've slept with.

He talked about you all the time, Jack. His immortal man in old New York. He never forgot.
You're telling me the whole world got screwed because two gay guys had a hissy fit?
Rex, get back in your cave.
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.
Don't you dare.
Don't touch her.
Don't you dare.
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.
Did you sleep with her?
[outraged] Pardon me?!
Because most women that bitter, you've slept with. [to Esther] Did you make that mistake?
No. No, sir, I did not.
Esther Drummond. Rex said you did a good job out in the field.
Thank you, sir.
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?
[snorts] That's funny.
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?
I think we did.
[After Angelo dies]
How? Only him, no one else. The only man in the whole wide world to die. The Miracle continues minus Mr Colasanto. So how did he do it? We've taken the body for autopsy. Any idea what we're gonna find?
I don't know. We should go.
No, no, no, no. Nobody is leaving. This house is secure.
It's not a crime scene.
Are you sure about that? Dying of old age can now be considered a crime. Something happened here, and we are going to search this place for every last bit of information. And nobody is going to leave until we know exactly what happened. So you can stay just where you are, Captain.
[Shapiro leaves. Jack sits on Angelo's bed]
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
And you really don't know what happened to him? What is it, Jack? Come on, what's wrong? Are we in trouble?
Yes.
We're in trouble because he died?
Yeah.
But why?
What's Category Zero?
What's what?
What's Category Zero, and why does my whore know about it?
...Ah. Clever girl. Well, that's what you get for employing someone who sleeps with senators. She's been listening.
Tell me, what's Category Zero?
Look, Oswald, did you really think it would never come to an end, your freedom? There's an emergency mandate being passed through Congress defining a new Category Zero, meaning people who have earned themselves a place in the ovens for moral reasons.
They want to burn me alive?
Oswald, you were always sentenced to death. What you had was a wonderful delay. And now it's time for that adventure to come to an end.
But people love me.
Television loves you. It's a different thing.
[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.
Are you crazy?
Turn your head.
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.
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.
How can you know that?
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.
He's right.
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.
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.
