Jack, now fully re-formed and no longer in acute pain, is sealed in concrete by Johnson to prevent his escape, who pragmatically refuses to reveal any information to him because he remains alive and a viable threat, which is why she has chosen to keep him contained. Gwen and Rhys, as Lois had suggested, pose as funeral directors come to fetch [[Rupesh Patanjali]]'s body, also held at the compound. Their plan initially works. The soldier who requested the retrieval, [[Camara|"Kodak" Camara]], is friendly and does not suspect Gwen or Rhys to be impostors. Rhys gets defensive when he flirts with his wife and lets him figure out they're a married couple. It doesn't give them away, but Gwen is unhappy with Rhys's slip of the tongue. | Jack, now fully re-formed and no longer in acute pain, is sealed in concrete by Johnson to prevent his escape, who pragmatically refuses to reveal any information to him because he remains alive and a viable threat, which is why she has chosen to keep him contained.

When the group enters the cell with Patanjali's body bag, Gwen disables the camera surveillance with the same pen she used in the mental care facility, then pistol whips Kodak to the back of the head while he isn't looking, rendering him unconscious. Gwen snatches his keys and locks the guard inside the cell, while she and Rhys start opening the next one. Their disabling of the hallway camera attracts the suspicion of the guard watching the security footage. The second cell turns out to hold the body of the undercover soldier who was shot by the sniper attacking Gwen. When she disables the camera in this cell, the guard at the desk sees the act perpetrated and sounds the alarms. Not willing to waste time on Rhys finding the key for the third lock, Gwen breaks it open with several gunshots, only to find it blocked by a concrete slab. | When the group enters the cell with Patanjali's body bag, Gwen disables the camera surveillance with the same [[Gizmo pen|pen]] she used in the mental care facility, then pistol whips Kodak to the back of the head while he isn't looking, rendering him unconscious.

The soldiers in the compound surround Gwen and Rhys and open fire. Gwen empties her gun defending herself and her husband as he declares they'll have to surrender, while Johnson calmly marches forward with a patrol unit to corral them. Gwen discovers it was a mistake to waste her limited ammunition on the cell lock — her gun is out of bullets. Cornered, she lowers her weapons and kneels to the floor. | The soldiers in the compound surround Gwen and Rhys and open fire.

* Upon finding parts of his body, the soldiers speculate if Jack will really return to life. Jack personally believed he always came back, citing his numerous deaths he experienced on Earth leading him to call himself "the man who can never die" when seeing the [[Tenth Doctor]] in [[TV]]: {{cs|Utopia (TV story)}}, with him dying over 1300 times in the late 19th to 20th century, as seen in [[TV]]: {{cs|Fragments (TV story)}}. | |||
