I think I can get us in. Back in the old days, Torchwood tracked down a black market trade in alien artefacts coming out of China. Skullion metal and coins, things like that. We closed it down but the route stayed open for arms dealing.
We're gonna trust arms dealers?
I don't care. I'll do it.
Okay, okay, wait. What about Buenos Aires?
I don't know. Which city is it?
It's both, you bunch of nuts. You can't see for looking, can you? Eh? Look. Right, Shanghai, Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires, Shanghai. Opposite sides of the world. Quite literally, opposite sides of the Earth, yeah? Yeah? So whatever's going on, there's got to be something connecting them.
Are you kidding me? Is that right?
They're antipodes. They're the antipodes of each other. Two massive population centres balanced on either side of the planet.
As the old saying goes, count your blessings, because it turns out there's two of them.
But what does it mean?
Look at the PhiCorp logo. The letter phi, a circle with a line through it. It's been right there in front of us staring us in the face all this time.
A line through the world?
The Blessing. The Miracle.
But what is it?
We need to find out. We can get into Argentina no problem.
Maybe we need to get into both, Jack. Maybe you should go one way.
And you the other.
Buenos Aires.
Shanghai.
So this is what we're doing? A mission on both sides of the world?
Biggest mission yet.
Suppose it is, yeah.
And you're taking me with you.
No way.
No, no, no. I've got, I've got better plans for you, bub.
And that's your problem, isn't it, Gwen? You can't let me walk free. Not a man with my desires. And you can't have me arrested. Not now that I know all about your little plans.
They can leave you here with me.
Well, that's just it, you joyous man. You've just trapped your wife completely. Leave me here with him and I think he would. I actually think he would. Your husband would kill me. He'd make me Category One with his own bare hands. You would kill me, wouldn't you?
Yeah.
Is that what you want? No. I'm coming with you. There's no choice. There's not a choice in the whole of the world. Okay?
