They go to a [[pub]] to wait for the rest of the field team. Bernie is babbling when Jack puts down the device and says, "It's worth knowing we're probably about the only people you can tell." Bernie stole the device from a storage unit. It was with a bunch of strange coins and rocks in a tin. After he'd taken the device, it started going off near the old wharf. He saw a woman dumping her dead baby in the [[water]], and realised he knew the woman. He went and told her what he saw and she gave him money to keep quiet. Jack realises that Bernie doesn't know anything more about the device and they begin to leave. He yells after them that he's got rights, but they don't stop until he asks if they want the other half. | They go to a [[pub]] to wait for the rest of the field team.

They go to Bernie's [[flat]] on [[Evelyn Street | They go to Bernie's [[flat]] on [[Evelyn Street]] to collect the other half and the alien coins and rocks. Tosh finds that they fit together like [[LEGO]]. Bernie is dismayed that they're going to confiscate everything. Gwen trails behind the others and Bernie tells her that he never used the second half again, as it showed him he was going to die bleeding in the street outside. Gwen hurries down and calls out to Jack, but the machine starts beeping. Without stopping to think, Gwen holds it in both hands as Jack bolts toward her, yelling. | ||
The world ripples around Gwen and she sees herself standing with her hands covered in [[blood]], holding a [[knife]]. In the vision, Gwen is asking for help. She couldn't stop it and he's dead. Owen had the knife. Gwen stands there in shock as the vision ends. Back in the Hub, Jack tries to ease Gwen's fears, telling her it's only a possible future. Gwen wants more assurance, demanding to know if any of that alien stuff they collect is ever of any use. | The world ripples around Gwen and she sees herself standing with her hands covered in [[blood]], holding a [[knife]].
