[[Gwen Cooper|Gwen]] and [[Owen Harper|Owen]] are running down a city street one evening, chasing a signal that [[Toshiko Sato|Tosh]] is tracking. Tosh doesn't have a visual yet. [[Jack Harkness|Jack]] is on his way, driving the [[Torchwood SUV|SUV]]. | [[Gwen Cooper|Gwen]] and [[Owen Harper|Owen]] are running down a city street one evening, chasing a signal that [[Toshiko Sato|Tosh]] is tracking.

Tosh finds their quarry on the [[CCTV]] feed and calls out to the tracking team that it's [[Bernie Harris|a man in a hoodie]]. They chase him through a shopping area, until he ducks under a closing exit barrier at the [[High Street Arcade]]. Only Gwen has kept close enough to make it through; Owen and Jack have to pause until the mechanism can be reversed. She chases the man in the hoodie over the gate into the [[Cardiff Central Station|train station]] and through some travellers until she tackles him. The runner squirms away, leaving Gwen with his [[jacket]]. Gwen is angry that she lost him, but Tosh says the signal is still right there. Gwen finds a device in the jacket. It's beeping, and lights on it are flashing, as she lifts it up in both hands she presses a button. | Tosh finds their quarry on the [[CCTV]] feed and calls out to the tracking team that it's [[Bernie Harris|a man in a hoodie]].

The world around Gwen blurs and the other people disappear. She's in the same station, still night or evening. A little boy, in short pants, coat, and tie, with a little [[grey]] [[hat]], walks out of the booking hall, with a suitcase, two brown paper packages on string, a stuffed [[bear]], and a tag pinned to his lapel that says he is [[Tom Flanagan|Tom Erasmus Flanagan]]. Gwen tries to talk to him. He doesn't really answer, but says he's lost and no one there knows who he is. Tom walks back towards the booking hall. Gwen fades back as Jack comes up with Owen, apologising for missing the gate. He asks Gwen if she's alright. Gwen says she's just seen a [[ghost]]. | The world around Gwen blurs and the other people disappear. She's in the same station, still night or evening.

Back at [[the Hub]], Tosh goes over the CCTV, which shows that Gwen didn't go anywhere after pressing the button. Gwen protests that the encounter felt very real, to the point where she could actually feel the little boy's emotions. Owen suggests both [[hallucination]]s and [[dementia]], causing Gwen to shout at him. Jack examines the device while Tosh tries to backtrack the hoodie guy with the CCTV and the little boy from the vision. Owen says not to bother, he's found Thomas Erasmus Flanagan on 74 Bryaeron Terrace, Butetown... in the phone book. | Back at [[the Hub]], Tosh goes over the CCTV, which shows that Gwen didn't go anywhere after pressing the button.

The world blurs for Owen and suddenly it goes from sunny afternoon to [[rain]]y night under the bridge. A girl stumbles down the wall. She's in a pretty pink coat, a nice dress, and a [[1960s]] hairstyle, but she is sobbing. She's [[Lizzie Lewis]], and she's running away from a boy called [[Ed Morgan|Eddie Morgan]]; she has realised the other girls were right, she shouldn't have gone outside with him. Eddie comes up behind her, asking if he's a bad boy. He flatters her and she stops running. He kisses her but the kiss turns hard and she starts to fight away. He slaps her as she cries, then he grabs her hair and pulls a blade. As she pleads, he drags her over towards the wall... | The world blurs for Owen and suddenly it goes from sunny afternoon to [[rain]]y night under the bridge. A girl stumbles down the wall.

Owen blurs back to the rest of the team. He's frantic, knowing she was so scared, but he could not move and couldn't help her. He pants and starts to cry as Gwen takes the device. Back in the Hub, Jack tells Tosh it was 40-45 years ago, and she finds that the only child of [[Mabel Ann Lewis]] of Hatford Street died [[29 March|March 29th]], [[1963]]. She had been raped and murdered on Penfro Street under the bridge at age 17. No one had ever been brought to trial. As Owen asks Tosh to look for Eddie Morgan, Jack notices that the scan of the device shows a [[quantum transducer]]. This is a device for converting energy from one form to another. This particular transducer seems to amplify the energy of human emotion into ghosts. Jack says, "When you feel déjà vu, something behind you in an empty room, there was, there always is." | Owen blurs back to the rest of the team.

Owen pushes for more information about Lizzie's death and Jack realises that Owen wants the case reopened. He emphatically states that, no matter how it felt, Owen was not there, he was not a witness, and they can't take it to court. Tomorrow, they'll do their job — which is to find the origin and uses of the alien device and secure it. He sends Owen home and stalks off after ordering, "Gwen, with me." | Owen pushes for more information about Lizzie's death and Jack realises that Owen wants the case reopened.
