[pointing his gun at Ianto] Did you know that thing was down there?
I put her there.
[enraged] You hid a Cyberman within Torchwood?! And you didn't tell us?! What else are you keeping from us?!
[scathingly] Like you care. I clear up your shit, no questions asked, and that's the way you like it. When did you last ask me anything about my life? [pause] Her name's Lisa. She's my girlfriend.
Why didn't you tell us? We could have helped you.
Torchwood exists to destroy alien threats. Why would I tell you about her?
[angry] A little loyalty, perhaps?
My loyalty's to her. She worked for Torchwood. She was caught up in the battle. I owe it to Lisa, we owe it to her, to find a cure.
Ianto, you have to believe me, there is no cure. There never will be. Those who are converted stay that way. Your girlfriend will not be the exception.
You can't know that for sure!
Look, you need to know what's happening here. Because this is where these things start, small decisions that become mass slaughter. These creatures regain a foothold by exploiting human weakness. Then they take a base, rebuild their forces, and before you know it, the Cyber race is spreading out across the universe, erasing worlds, assimilating populations, all because of the tiny beginnings here. We need to stop her together!
You're not listening to me. The conversion was never completed.
She already tried to kill Gwen. You think she's gonna stop there? There is no turning back for her now.
I'm not giving up on her. I love her. Can you understand that, Jack? Haven't you ever loved anyone?
...You need to figure out whose side you're on here, because if you don't know, you're not going to make it out of this alive.
