Synopsis
Owen takes some time to chat to a suicidal woman on a rooftop, reflecting on his new circumstances, that of a man living eternal death. Will a mission with Torchwood assist in his salvation or bring about the end of the world?
Plot
Owen Harper is talking to a woman who was about to kill herself. He tells her about his recent ordeal with being dead and getting resurrected. As his memorys begin we see Jack let him off but he has to stay at the hub so that Martha can run some tests on him. Martha has been put in place of Torchwood 3 Medical Doctor. As he is talking to her he cuts his hand on a scapel, so Martha has to stitch it back together saying that it will have to be stitched every week because of his inability to heal. The team then has a meeting about a man named Henry Parker who has been missing since the 1980's, yet Torchwood has been servaling him for years since. Later that day Owen is in his flat and Toshiko walks in he thinks to himself that he is losing the will to live since he cant die. He jumps in the Cardiff canal and spends half an hour in the water but jack rescues him from dieing. The sucidal woman who is revealed to be called Maggie says that she got married a year ago today but her husband died in a car crash. The team has another briefing and they want to obtain the alien device that Henry Parker has. Owen agrees to go in and get it off him by getting past six secruity gaurds and heat sensers. Owen manages to get into the building and get past them all. Owen comes to a room where there is a bed hidden by veils. Owen goes in to see that Henry is in the bed. He tells Owen that he needs it to live but then he dies of natural causes. Later after Owen has gotten out of his mansion the team says good bye to Martha as she leaves to go back to UNIT.
