Ah, they were threatened by disease. Cure for something that will kill millions in exchange for 12 kids - who will "live forever".
"Actually, we need someone who doesn't care." Oh, ouch!
Walk into the light. Ah, the twist of the euphamism. "It's safe."
So, if one ran away, did they come back because the deal was broken?
"You are in every nightmare I've ever had." And then bang bang! Except, of course, he shot the one guy it's OK to shoot.
"This is normal. This is what he does." ;D
"I can only assume that you're holding me here as insurance against my father. But let me warn you, if you angered him, then God help you."
"This, from the woman who spent her life running away from him."
"Why do you think I did that."
Yeah, they really should be paying attention to all these warnings.
So, he was left behind? Wasn't taken and then he ran? Huh.
Dude, I sooooo wouldn't go in if I were the camera guy. No way.
Eeew! Drippy! Three different forms of life? Is one of the old kids in there, now able to live in that stuff?
"Is that a child? Where'd he get 'em from?" See dude, it's all gonna come out. And, still a child, that's how they live forever then?
Yeah, what does it do with them?
So, now it's 10 percent or all people everywhere die. And do we believe they can do this?
Convenient? Convenient? Dude!
Stood up to them, the man I know would have. Hmmmm.
"I've only just scratched the surface, haven't I?"
"Ianto, that's all there is."
Ooooh, tell him about the family! Well, damn!
No rest for the wicked, Frobisher.
How many "units"?! It won't just be Britain, will it? Looking for more expendables.
Just pushing papers about.
How many kids are enough . . . Is that the number of kids they want? And now they'll just take them? Ah, sounds like it. Sounds like the 10% they wanted.
Oy. It might be a good idea . . .
Spin is all we have.
How would we sell it to the voters. Man, if I were Lois? I'd be throwing up now. Exempt their kids, of course. Get rid of those "destined to spend a lifetime on the dole or in prison". What are the stats for, if not to use them to get rid of the ones you don't like, eh?
Let's go stand up to them. I mean, dude. Someone needs to find out what these aliens are anyway!
Ianto gets the word out - get the kids safe - tell everyone you can to do the same. No secrets now . . .
No!!!! Don't find Hub2!
TW blackmail! Now, please please please don't find Gwen and Rhys and old guy!
"We've been expecting you." Oh, yay!!! Their plan!! Awesome plan!!
"Take a seat. Maybe you'll learn something about the people you've been workin' for."
"I liked the philosophy."
"I gathered." ;D
Well, damn. Action has been taken. Virus . . . and it can't get out. So, do they always use disease? Not weapons?
Oh, Ianto!!
And why is the old guy still attached to them? "The remnant will be disconnected." Damn.
Old guy from long ago has a suit, so he might live. But they're all gonna die except for Jack, aren't they? Oh, suit guy went too.
Ianto! This is gonna make Jack really really really . . . crazy and grieving and dangerous, isn't it?
Die, Jack, follow Ianto.
And then come back and kick some 456 butt!!
Jack's back.
(That was a very pretty shot, actually, with the red-covered bodies and Gwen kneeling and looking down at Jack and then Ianto and Ianto so pale and stays dead and Jack . . . whoosh, he's back. )
