'''''Greeks Bearing Gifts''''' was the seventh episode in the [[Series 1 (Torchwood)|first series]] of ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]''. It was written by [[Toby Whithouse]], directed by [[Colin Teague]], and focused on [[Toshiko Sato]]. | |||
[[Toshiko Sato| | == Synopsis == | ||
[[Toshiko Sato|Tosh]] is given an [[Telepathy pendant|alien pendant]] which lets her hear other people's thoughts. As the [[Torchwood Three|Torchwood]] team puzzle over a centuries-old [[skeleton]], the pendant forces Tosh to question her commitment to Torchwood. Is her new-found ability a blessing or a curse? | |||
== | == Plot == | ||
''to be | In [[Cardiff]], [[1812]], [[Mary (Greeks Bearing Gifts)|a talkative prostitute]] leads [[Soldier (Greeks Bearing Gifts)|a young soldier]] into the forest. When she provokes him about his [[virginity]], he slaps her twice. A chase ensues. All of a sudden, though, she sees a bright light, and hears a screech. She walks towards the light, but the soldier catches up and [[Firearm|shoots]] her. | ||
Many years later, the [[Torchwood Three|Torchwood]] team is at a construction site where a skeleton was found. Mary, the prostitute from [[1812]], is there in modern dress looking on amusedly. A strange object is by the skeleton, its function unknown. All is going well at Torchwood until Owen and [[Gwen Cooper|Gwen]] accidentally kick out the plug to Tosh's [[computer]], screwing up a translation program she's running. | |||
Feeling dejected, Toshiko goes to a [[pub]], where Mary approaches her. Mary reveals she knows about Torchwood and about her. She is a "scavenger" or "collector" of [[alien]] artefacts. Toshiko seems to bond with Mary, and reveals her innermost feelings, despite hundreds of Torchwood protocols disallowing this sort of conversation. Mary offers Toshiko [[Telepathy pendant|a pendant]]. When Toshiko puts it on, she begins to hear people's thoughts. Mary asks her to refine this to her thoughts only, and subconsciously allows her desire to [[kiss]] her slip. Shocked, Toshiko rips the pendant off her neck. Mary tells her to keep it. Toshiko says she must show it to the other members of Torchwood, Mary predicts she won't. | |||
The next day, Toshiko goes to [[the Hub]] and puts the pendant on. She tells Gwen and Owen she has something to show them, but, upon hearing their thoughts, she changes her mind after learning of their affair. Later, when Ianto offers her some [[coffee]], she hears his thoughts, which are malevolent and depressed. She hears his pain at the loss of [[Lisa Hallett]]. Visibly upset, she takes off the pendant. | |||
She finds Mary, whom she tells about Owen and Gwen's thoughts — how they pity her. Mary explains that thoughts are complicated. She puts the pendant on Toshiko again, and both end up thinking of [[sex]] together. The two kiss passionately. Later, Toshiko is lying in bed, looking regretful. She tells Mary of her attraction to Owen, and how she was upset by his affair with Gwen. Mary tells her that good can come of the pendant, too. Toshiko asks Mary who she really is. Mary calls herself "[[Philoctetes]]". | |||
Toshiko heeds Mary's advice and listens to the thoughts of people in a busy Cardiff street. She hears [[Neil (Greeks Bearing Gifts)|a man]] planning to [[kill]] [[Carol (Greeks Bearing Gifts)|his ex-wife]] and [[Danny (Greeks Bearing Gifts)|son]]. She follows him to their house, and saves their lives. | |||
When she returns to the Hub, Owen is being teased by the others for misidentifying the skeleton: it was actually a man — not a woman — who died of an unidentified trauma — ''not'' a gunshot wound. Tosh asks Jack about Philoctetes, and he tells her his story: in Greek mythology, the [[archer]] was exiled to the island of Lemnos, to be left there alone for ten years. | |||
[[File:Mary teleports.jpg|thumb|Mary is teleported into the sun.]] | |||
Mary tells Toshiko to read [[Jack Harkness|Jack]]'s thoughts about the item found with the skeleton. Toshiko tries and fails to read his thoughts; Jack seems to notice when she tries. She tells Mary this, and decides that she must show the pendant to her co-workers. Mary, however, convinces her to change her mind by showing her her true form: she is an [[Arcateenian|alien]] exiled from [[Arcateen 5|her home world]]. Toshiko offers Torchwood's help, but Mary refuses. Humans' way is invasion, not help. She thinks she will simply be assessed, and then locked up in the base's prison cells. | |||
Mary instead asks Toshiko to sneak her into the Hub to retrieve the artefact, which could finally take her home. The two enter to find Jack holding the transporter. He explains that it is a two-man transporter for a guard and a prisoner. Mary explains that she killed the guard, then took the body of the young prostitute Mary, and has been ripping out people's hearts to feed her human form. | |||
She takes Toshiko at knife point, and demands that they return the transporter. Jack gives it to her. It automatically turns on, and she disappears. Jack had reprogrammed the device to teleport to the centre of the [[sun]]. Later, Toshiko is confronted by Owen and Gwen about what she heard. Toshiko says that it was none of her business. Owen storms off. Gwen admits that her affair with Owen is wrong, but that she can't stop. She says that Tosh seemed happier with Mary in her life, and that she should not let everything that has happened bring her down. | |||
Jack and Toshiko sit by the fountain above the Hub and discuss the pendant. Toshiko believes that it may be the most powerful artefact ever found by Torchwood, and asks Jack for his advice. He says it is her choice. She crushes the device with her foot. She asks why she could not read Jack's mind. Jack denies knowing why but admits he could tell she was trying. She tells him that it felt like she was trying to read the mind of a dead man. He doesn't respond. He comforts her about her experiences, wipes away her tears, and silently walks away. | |||
