Immortal Sins (TV story)[1] was the seventh episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day. For the most part, it consisted of a flashback which introduced the character of Angelo Colasanto. Rex Matheson and Esther Drummond were resigned to cameo roles.

Synopsis

Gwen must fight to protect her family and takes a terrifying journey with Jack, covering both miles and decades, as the long history of the Miracle is partially revealed.

Plot

Gwen drives Jack across America to bring him to the people holding her family.

Flashbacks are seen to Jack's past. In 1920s New York, he is awaiting his visa at Ellis Island, when Angelo Colasanto steals his visa. Jack confronts him, retrieves his visa, and visits Angelo in his cell. They talk, and Jack uses technology to create a visa for Angelo.

Angelo is freed. Jack and he quickly enter a relationship. At one point, they are retrieving an alien from a base when Jack is shot dead, and Angelo captured and imprisoned. Jack returns to America after Angelo is released. Angelo, believing Jack dead, is terrified by Jack's immortality.

Angelo takes Jack to the Butcher shop beneath their room, where people arrive who are terrified of Jack and sadistically attack him with knives, guns and meat hooks to kill him and collect his blood, despite Jack's protests that they are making a mistake. Three men visit Jack. They seem to know something about his immortality. Angelo overwhelmed with horror and guilt, eventually lets Jack go. Jack quickly recovers and flees with Angelo to a rooftop, where he explains his immortality before jumping off to his "death". When Angelo reaches the bottom of the building Jack has gone.

As Gwen and Jack arrive, Rex and Esther have contacted Andy Davidson in Wales,. He has freed Gwen's family. They train snipers on the three people who want Jack. Jack states that he has won, but they say that Jack will come with them anyway. They have the information about the Miracle he wants. Angelo is still alive, and has something to do with the Miracle.
