[[Jack Harkness|Jack]], [[Owen Harper|Owen]] and [[Gwen Cooper|Gwen]] pursue a man through the [[Cardiff]] streets, while [[Toshiko Sato|Toshiko]] tracks his alien energy signature through the CCTV network. Gwen separates from the group, chasing down the suspect into a train station, and is able to grab the man's jacket but he gets out of it and runs away. Gwen discovers an alien device in the jacket pocket, and when she activates it, she finds herself seeing a brief vision of the past, that of a young lost boy wandering the train station. Gwen remembers a name tag worn by the boy, and the team is able to track the name down to a old man in Cardiff who admits that during the World War II evacuation, he was sent to Cardiff with no one to meet him and wandered lost through the train station. The group determines from further analysis that the [[nanotechnology]] of the "[[Quantum transducer|Ghost device]]" allows people to see moments of the past spurred by strong human emotions, and try to learn how their suspect came upon such technology. | [[Jack Harkness|Jack]], [[Owen Harper|Owen]] and [[Gwen Cooper|Gwen]] pursue a man through the [[Cardiff]] streets, while [[Toshiko Sato|Toshiko]] tracks his alien energy signature through the CCTV network.

They determine the suspect is Sean "Bernie" Harris, a petty thief from [[Splott]], and travel there to find him. Unsuccessful, they return to the train station to try the device again when Owen activates it while under a bridge, where he witnesses the raping and murder of a young woman named Lizzie Lewis in the 1960s by a man named Ed Morgan. Returning to the Hub, the team investigates the crime to confirm what Owen saw, but that Ed was interrogated but never accused of the crime. Owen insists on trying to bring Ed to justice despite that the case has long since closed, and starts to track Ed on his own. Owen confronts the elderly Ed but gets no information out of him; however, upon leaving his house, he spots Bernie and gives chase, catching up with him. Owen takes Bernie to a pub to learn more about the device while the rest of Torchwood is en route. Bernie explains he found the device in a tin of random objects from an old lady, and that he too saw the murder of Lizzie, and wonders if the team wants the "other half". Torchwood follows Bernie back to Bernie's home to retrieve the other half as well as the other objects in the tin, all alien objects that fell out from the Rift. Bernie explains that he only used the other half once, as it showed him bleeding to death outside his home at his current age. As they leave, Gwen accidentally triggers the second half, and has a vision of herself holding a bloody knife, calling out in vain to Owen. Jack tries calms Gwen down, claiming it just may be a possible future. | They determine the suspect is Sean "Bernie" Harris, a petty thief from [[Splott]], and travel there to find him.
