' | [[Martha Jones|Martha]] invites [[Jack Harkness|Jack]], [[Gwen Cooper|Gwen]] and [[Ianto Jones|Ianto]] to [[Geneva]] where she explains that her friend, [[Julia Swales|Julia]], has gone missing after finding that eleven people suffering from inexplicable symptoms at [[CERN]] vanished after supposedly being sent to an off-site [[hospital]]. Whilst Jack and Martha examine [[Leon Foiret|Leon]], the latest to fall into a [[coma]], Gwen and Ianto go to check the facility's [[database]]s in the main computer room and confirm that everybody who has fallen ill had entered the [[Large Hadron Collider]] tunnels. Martha deduces that Leon is disintegrating from the inside because his [[neutron]]s have been taken, a phenomenon that Jack once saw whilst working at the [[Time Agency]]. | ||
Jack confronts the project leader [[Katrina Johnson|Professor Johnson]], who claims to have no knowledge of any missing persons, and Gwen and Ianto [[cycling|cycle]] different ways down the tunnel in search of anything out of the ordinary. Ianto encounters an entity which claims to be the [[ghost]]s of [[Owen Harper|Owen]], [[Toshiko Sato|Tosh]] and [[Lisa Hallett|Lisa]] and Martha finds [[Oliver Harrington|Dr Harrington]], head of [[UNIT]]'s medical team, in a building absent from the site plans with the twelve missing people. Professor Johnson is unable to put a stop to the LHC demonstration but, with Jack's help, decides to send out [[antiproton]]s to stop the [[proton]]s from colliding and opening a [[portal]] for the entities. | |||
Gwen finds Ianto glowing and unconscious and carries him towards the exit. Dr Harrington holds Martha [[hostage]] to force Jack and Professor Johnson into allowing the demonstration and explains that he heard the voice of [[Marie Harrington|his late wife]] when the LHC was tested, leading him to believe that the portal is to [[Heaven (afterlife)|Heaven]] and that she and those killed by the entity will return. He activates the tunnel [[lockdown]] and helps Gwen get Ianto out before the door closes, locking himself inside and dying with the entity after it confirms its deception. Ianto and the other victims are restored and Torchwood heads back to [[Cardiff]]. | |||
