Jack finds the last cluster bomb, and is confronted by John. John wants the cluster bomb, but Jack refuses. He wants Jack to join him in travelling and conquering the stars. Jack isn't tempted, and throws the bomb over the edge. "''Oops!''" John pushes Jack off the roof too. John retrieves the bomb and tells the dead Jack — splayed across the pavement — that murder rehab never worked. He returns to the Hub. Ianto goes to Owen, and helps Tosh dress his wound. They then go to the docks, and eventually find Gwen just in time to inject her with an anti-toxin. | Jack finds the last cluster bomb, and is confronted by John.

At dawn, John goes to the corpse of the [[Blowfish]], who worked for him, and takes out a small [[pyramid]]-shaped object from his pocket. He is then surprised to find the rest of the team holding him at gunpoint, and even more surprised to see Jack, who then explains that he is [[Immortality|immortal]]. John then tells the truth: there are no cluster bombs. He was looking for an [[Arcadian diamond]] that belonged to a lover of his once; it was only a "dying woman's wish" in that he killed her. The "bombs" actually comprise a device that would lead him to the location of the diamond. However, once John assembles the device, the [[hologram woman|woman's hologram]] says that there is no diamond either. | At dawn, John goes to the corpse of the [[Blowfish]], who worked for him, and takes out a small [[pyramid]]-shaped object from his pocket.

There are ten minutes until the bomb goes off, but John cuffs himself to Gwen. She has a plan that would kill her and John, but would save the city. Tosh says that the Rift is still open from John's arrival. Gwen takes John there, but Jack and Owen stay behind and quickly work on a solution. | ||

They arrive at the car park, quickly followed by [[Jack Harkness|Jack]] and [[Owen Harper|Owen]], who inject [[John Hart (Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang)|John Hart]] with the [[DNA]] of all the [[Torchwood Three|Torchwood]] members, which temporarily confuses the bomb. The bomb releases itself, and they throw it through the Rift, with just one second to spare. Just as it explodes, they are shifted back in [[time]] to the moment John first arrived. John, impressed, lets [[Gwen Cooper|Gwen]] go, and reluctantly agrees to go back home. Before he disappears, though, he has one last thing to tell his old friend: "By the way, I found [[Gray (Fragments)|Gray]]". Jack, shocked, is asked who or what "Gray" is. He replies, "It's nothing, let's get back to work." | They arrive at the car park, quickly followed by [[Jack Harkness|Jack]] and [[Owen Harper|Owen]], who inject [[John Hart (Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang)|John Hart]] with the [[DNA]] of all the [[Torchwood Three|Torchwood]] members, which temporarily confuses the bomb.
