Children of Earth: Day Two (TV story): Difference between revisions

The episode begins where Day One left off, just after the Hub has blown up. [[Gwen Cooper|Gwen]] manages to elude an assassination squad lead by [[Johnson]], during which she learns that the people trying to kill the Torchwood staff are from 'the Government.' She heads home to [[Rhys Williams|Rhys]] and the two go on the run. The next morning, Johnson finds the remains of [[Jack Harkness]] in the ruins of the Hub, not much more than an arm and a head. Jack's body parts are taken to a warehouse in London, where his body begins to reconstruct itself. Meanwhile, [[Ianto Jones|Ianto]] sends a card to his sister, asking her to meet him at the park where he broke his leg as a child, and to bring a laptop computer. Gwen and Rhys hide in a lorry full of potatoes that is going to London; during the trip, Gwen tells Rhys that she is pregnant. When they arrive in London, Gwen tries to contact [[Frobisher]]. Her call is taken by [[Lois Habiba]]. At [[MI5]], Frobisher, [[Bridget Spears|Bridget]], and Lois witness the creation of an unknown device being built by [[Dekker|Mr Dekker]] to specifications provided by the [[The 456|456]]. Lois meets with Gwen and Rhys and tells them that it was Frobisher who issued the kill order on Jack, as well as several others, none of whose names Gwen recognizes. Lois also gives Gwen information about the compound where Jack is being kept, and suggests a way for Gwen and Rhys to gain entry. Jack, now fully re-formed, is sealed in concrete by Johnson to prevent his escape, since he cannot be killed. Gwen and Rhys, as Lois had suggested, pose as funeral directors come to fetch [[Rupesh Patanjali]]'s body, which is also being kept at the compound. However, they are caught during their attempt to free Jack. Ianto, who has also arrived in London and has also discovered where Jack was taken, steals a forklift, lifts Jack's cell, and pulls it out of the compound. Gwen and Rhys escape with Ianto in the forklift. Ianto drops the concrete block into a quarry where it breaks apart, releasing Jack. Back at the MI5 headquarters, the mysterious device is completed: a sealed glass-walled chamber that is filled with a gas atmosphere poisonous to humans. The children of the world again stop and chant: "We are coming -- tomorrow."
