== Plot ==
== Plot ==
''to be added''
=== Part one ===
[[Davey Russell]] sets up his video camera and records a message for the world, saying that [[human]]ity must let go of the [[Earth]] and ascend into the [[star]]s. He says to praise [[Church of the Outsiders|the Outsiders]] and [[Jack Harkness|Captain Jack Harkness]] before dousing himself in [[petrol]] and setting himself alight.
 
In [[the Hub]], [[Owen Harper|Owen]] tells Jack, [[Gwen Cooper|Gwen]], [[Ianto Jones|Ianto]] and [[Toshiko Sato|Tosh]] about [[Steve Ross]] and the Church of the Outsiders, identifying [[Val Ross]] and [[Frank Layton]] as the Church's current leaders and [[Andromeda Ross]] as a good way in. When Jack asks how this is relevant to [[Torchwood Three|Torchwood]], Owen tells them that the [[Grey (Believe)|Greys]] have stolen from a [[UNIT]] storage facility and shows him Davey Russell's video.
 
Although Jack refuses to be a part of it, Owen sends Gwen to find Andromeda, who is on the run from the Church, Ianto to sign up for the Church and Tosh to [[London]] to extract information from Layton, guided by Owen. Tosh joins Layton at [[restaurant (Believe)|a restaurant]] and flirts with him whilst Gwen forces her way into Andromeda's [[hotel]] room, running with her from the Greys. Ianto is accepted into the Church and is made [[Erin Lewis]]'s co-pilot.
 
Tosh goes home with Layton, planning to [[sedative|sedate]] him. However, when he declines to drink, Owen encourages her to pretend that he is someone else and have [[sex]] with him, searching his house once he is [[sleep|asleep]]. She does so, taking control of the situation and forcing Owen to listen, taunting him about his inability to have an [[erection]]. Layton catches her searching through his things and points a [[gun]] at her.
 
Gwen and Andromeda are on their way to the Hub when the Greys ram Gwen's car. The Greys go to have a look and one says that they think that they might have killed them.
 
=== Part two ===
Erin Lewis has a [[consultation]] with Val Ross and tells her that she is [[hope]]ful that aliens will be better than humans and that she is sick of being lied to. She meets her co-pilot Ianto, going by the name John Davies, and introduces him to the [[commune]], doing his first consultation. They bond at dinner, where she tells him about the Greys. He updates Owen. At night, Ianto is caught [[spy]]ing on the Greys in the West Wing and pretends that he wants to join. They [[tazer|taze]] him.
 
Tosh is saved from Layton by Owen, who breaks in and shoots him dead, not knowing that Layton had been bluffing and had told her to leave. Owen tells her to collect some of his papers and his [[laptop]] whilst he makes it look like a [[burglary]], but she refuses and leaves.
 
[[Chris (Believe)|A Grey]] ties Ianto down and threatens to replace his body parts if he does not tell him who sent him. The Grey sedates him. Meanwhile, Gwen regains consciousness in Andromeda's house, escaping with her to the Hub, and Tosh saves Owen as he is chased and shot at by Layton's [[security]]. She berates him for what he has put her through.
 
Ianto awakens in his own bed, unsure of how he got there, and tells Owen that the Church are going to be doing a live broadcast on [[Outsiders TV]]. Ianto and Erin go to the [[assembly]], where Jack is welcomed onto the stage and gives a [[speech]] telling the Outsiders that, as a traveller in [[space]] and [[time]], they are right. In the Hub, Andromeda pulls a gun on Gwen and makes her let the Greys in. Jack [[hanging|hangs]] himself as a display of his [[immortality]] and declares himself the new leader of the Church.
 
=== Part three ===
Flashing back, Jack approaches Val and demonstrates his immortality by making her stab him, saying that he is ''Home stellar''. He briefly meets Davey Russell, who recognises him from the [[Internet]], at a lecture. As Ianto is meeting Erin for the first time, Jack meets Val in her [[office]] to talk about Davey Russell's suicide and agrees to go public.
 
Gwen enables the Hub's emergency [[lockdown]] and switches off the lights, allowing her to escape from Andromeda and the Greys. Owen and Tosh go to help her.
 
Val has [[Val Ross' assistant|her assistant]] send tapes of Jack's [[resurrection]] to all major [[news]] networks whilst Jack and Ianto are reunited. Jack tells him that he was the one who saved him and goes with him to the West Wing, telling him to spread the footage of his resurrection. Andromeda learns of [[the Rift]] and Torchwood's [[Rift Manipulator]], deciding that she will rip it open and broadcast an extract from ''[[The Outsiders' Manifesto]]'' to [[Centaurus]]. Jack and Ianto open a file called "Torchwood" which [[gas]]es them.
 
The Greys find a [[Weevil]] and release it from its cell, only for it to eat [[Paula (Believe)|one of them]]. Jack, Ianto and the Grey that [[torture]]d Ianto (named Chris) are saved by Erin. Andromeda opens the Rift and makes her broadcast, threatening the safety of the Hub and Cardiff. Gwen, Owen, Tosh and a Grey try to convince her to stop when Jack and Ianto arrive. Jack tells her that nobody is listening to her broadcast and that nobody cares. Tosh closes the Rift.
 
Gwen arranges for Andromeda to be consigned to [[Whitecliff]] and Jack tells her to take her there with all her [[memory|memories]]. He goes to Val, who is dealing with the Church being ridiculed for what the news believed was a staged video, and tells her that he has taken down the Church because of her disregard for the lives of Davey Russell and the other members. Ianto approaches Erin, who remains loyal to the Church despite what has happened as it is all that she has.
 
Owen makes repairs to the Hub and [[apology|apologises]] to Tosh for what happened with Layton, a situation that she said was worsened by the fact that she found nothing that they did not already know from him. Gwen takes Andromeda to Whitecliff and tells her that people do not really care about space or aliens.
 
On a recording of Steve Ross, he gives a lecture and tells his audience that, as long as one believes, it does not matter what anyone says about them.

Believe was the third of the Torchwood - Special Releases. It featured Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper, Ianto Jones, Owen Harper and Toshiko Sato.

Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Church of the Outsiders believe that mankind is about to evolve, to reach out into the stars. Owen Harper believes that Torchwood has to do whatever it takes to stop them.

Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]

Part one[[edit] | [edit source]]

Davey Russell sets up his video camera and records a message for the world, saying that humanity must let go of the Earth and ascend into the stars. He says to praise the Outsiders and Captain Jack Harkness before dousing himself in petrol and setting himself alight.

In the Hub, Owen tells Jack, Gwen, Ianto and Tosh about Steve Ross and the Church of the Outsiders, identifying Val Ross and Frank Layton as the Church's current leaders and Andromeda Ross as a good way in. When Jack asks how this is relevant to Torchwood, Owen tells them that the Greys have stolen from a UNIT storage facility and shows him Davey Russell's video.

Although Jack refuses to be a part of it, Owen sends Gwen to find Andromeda, who is on the run from the Church, Ianto to sign up for the Church and Tosh to London to extract information from Layton, guided by Owen. Tosh joins Layton at a restaurant and flirts with him whilst Gwen forces her way into Andromeda's hotel room, running with her from the Greys. Ianto is accepted into the Church and is made Erin Lewis's co-pilot.

Tosh goes home with Layton, planning to sedate him. However, when he declines to drink, Owen encourages her to pretend that he is someone else and have sex with him, searching his house once he is asleep. She does so, taking control of the situation and forcing Owen to listen, taunting him about his inability to have an erection. Layton catches her searching through his things and points a gun at her.

Gwen and Andromeda are on their way to the Hub when the Greys ram Gwen's car. The Greys go to have a look and one says that they think that they might have killed them.

Part two[[edit] | [edit source]]

Erin Lewis has a consultation with Val Ross and tells her that she is hopeful that aliens will be better than humans and that she is sick of being lied to. She meets her co-pilot Ianto, going by the name John Davies, and introduces him to the commune, doing his first consultation. They bond at dinner, where she tells him about the Greys. He updates Owen. At night, Ianto is caught spying on the Greys in the West Wing and pretends that he wants to join. They taze him.

Tosh is saved from Layton by Owen, who breaks in and shoots him dead, not knowing that Layton had been bluffing and had told her to leave. Owen tells her to collect some of his papers and his laptop whilst he makes it look like a burglary, but she refuses and leaves.

A Grey ties Ianto down and threatens to replace his body parts if he does not tell him who sent him. The Grey sedates him. Meanwhile, Gwen regains consciousness in Andromeda's house, escaping with her to the Hub, and Tosh saves Owen as he is chased and shot at by Layton's security. She berates him for what he has put her through.

Ianto awakens in his own bed, unsure of how he got there, and tells Owen that the Church are going to be doing a live broadcast on Outsiders TV. Ianto and Erin go to the assembly, where Jack is welcomed onto the stage and gives a speech telling the Outsiders that, as a traveller in space and time, they are right. In the Hub, Andromeda pulls a gun on Gwen and makes her let the Greys in. Jack hangs himself as a display of his immortality and declares himself the new leader of the Church.

Part three[[edit] | [edit source]]

Flashing back, Jack approaches Val and demonstrates his immortality by making her stab him, saying that he is Home stellar. He briefly meets Davey Russell, who recognises him from the Internet, at a lecture. As Ianto is meeting Erin for the first time, Jack meets Val in her office to talk about Davey Russell's suicide and agrees to go public.

Gwen enables the Hub's emergency lockdown and switches off the lights, allowing her to escape from Andromeda and the Greys. Owen and Tosh go to help her.

Val has her assistant send tapes of Jack's resurrection to all major news networks whilst Jack and Ianto are reunited. Jack tells him that he was the one who saved him and goes with him to the West Wing, telling him to spread the footage of his resurrection. Andromeda learns of the Rift and Torchwood's Rift Manipulator, deciding that she will rip it open and broadcast an extract from The Outsiders' Manifesto to Centaurus. Jack and Ianto open a file called "Torchwood" which gases them.

The Greys find a Weevil and release it from its cell, only for it to eat one of them. Jack, Ianto and the Grey that tortured Ianto (named Chris) are saved by Erin. Andromeda opens the Rift and makes her broadcast, threatening the safety of the Hub and Cardiff. Gwen, Owen, Tosh and a Grey try to convince her to stop when Jack and Ianto arrive. Jack tells her that nobody is listening to her broadcast and that nobody cares. Tosh closes the Rift.

Gwen arranges for Andromeda to be consigned to Whitecliff and Jack tells her to take her there with all her memories. He goes to Val, who is dealing with the Church being ridiculed for what the news believed was a staged video, and tells her that he has taken down the Church because of her disregard for the lives of Davey Russell and the other members. Ianto approaches Erin, who remains loyal to the Church despite what has happened as it is all that she has.

Owen makes repairs to the Hub and apologises to Tosh for what happened with Layton, a situation that she said was worsened by the fact that she found nothing that they did not already know from him. Gwen takes Andromeda to Whitecliff and tells her that people do not really care about space or aliens.

On a recording of Steve Ross, he gives a lecture and tells his audience that, as long as one believes, it does not matter what anyone says about them.
