[[Rhiannon Davies|Rhiannon]] and [[Johnny Davies|Johnny]], told by [[Ianto Jones|Ianto]] that the government is lying, keep their "creche" service running for the local estate. Gwen, [[Rhys Williams|Rhys]] and [[Andy Davidson]] arrive to tell them of Ianto's death and warn them special forces will soon arrive to take the children. While doing so, Gwen learns Ianto had lied about his father's job, upsetting Rhiannon. Gwen also tells Rhys that she has decided to get an abortion, as she doesn't want to bring a child into this kind of world. As Gwen, Rhys and Rhiannon prepare to help the children escape, Johnny informs a nearby crowd of fathers they'll never see their kids again, rallying them against the arriving soldiers. They begin attacking the army, throwing bricks and [[punch]]ing them, who counter with riot shields, leading to a street brawl. Andy tries to call his superiors to learn what is happening. He watches as soldiers break into people's houses and take children away. Realising that what the soldiers are doing is wrong, Andy removes his police jacket and tie and joins the resistance. Despite [[punch]]ing some of the soldiers, Andy, Johnny and the others are overwhelmed by force of numbers and forced to the ground, held down by batons to keep them there. | [[Rhiannon Davies|Rhiannon]] and [[Johnny Davies|Johnny]], told by [[Ianto Jones|Ianto]] that the government is lying, keep their "creche" service running for the local estate.

Rhys, Rhiannon and Gwen take the children to abandoned warehouses at the bottom of a field. After they get the children quiet, Gwen makes the tape.

Rhiannon and Rhys are captured by the soldiers as are many of the children. Gwen and one child keep running. | Rhys, Rhiannon and Gwen take the children to abandoned warehouses at the bottom of a field. After they get the children quiet, Gwen makes the tape.

Taken by Johnson to a warehouse full of equipment to try to stop the 456, Jack, with the help of Dekker and Johnson, devises a way to defeat the 456 using a reconstitution wave of the same wavelength the 456 used to kill [[Clem McDonald|Clem]], using the children as one vast transmitter. [[Dekker|Mr Dekker]] tells him that for it to work, the wave needs to be sent via one child, who will "fry". They only have one child available to them: [[Steven Carter|Steven]]. | Taken by Johnson to a warehouse full of equipment to try to stop the 456, Jack, with the help of Dekker and Johnson, devises a way to defeat the 456 using a reconstitution wave of the same wavelength the 456 used to kill [[Clem McDonald|Clem]], using the children as one vast transmitter.
