In 27AD, in Ancient Cardiff, Gray greets Jack. Jack tearfully apologises to his brother for abandoning him. Gray refuses to accept the apology and stabs him, then demands that John get a shovel. Gray gives a furious speech of feeling let down by Jack, for years he suffered unspeakable torture and Jack didn't look for him. For this, Jack is thrown into a grave and buried alive by John, who is forced to fill the grave. Because of Jack's immortality, he will suffocate on dirt, die, and resurrect again for eternity. John, horrified at such a dreadful existence, throws a tracking beacon into the grave, saying to Gray it's a sentimental gift he received from Jack. | In 27AD, in Ancient Cardiff, Gray greets Jack.

Coolant pours into the room where Owen is trapped and he accepts his fate. Owen tells Tosh it will be all right. He calmly stands up and prepares to die. The room is engulfed with a bright flash, and Owen disappears. The last thing he can be heard saying is, "Oh, God." | Coolant pours into the room where Owen is trapped and he accepts his fate.

Toshiko bleeds to death as she watches the screen | Toshiko bleeds to death as she watches the screen showing Owen's fading signature. Jack and the others arrive. He notices the puddles of blood leading down the steps of the autopsy room and sprints to Toshiko, cradling her. Ianto mentions the nuclear plant, worried about Owen, before Tosh tearfully tells the team what happened and that she couldn't save him. Gwen gives her another dose of pain-killer and tries to soothe her, but Toshiko dies in Jack's arms with Gwen at her side. She looks into Jack's eyes and smiles at him one last time before her life fades and her face goes slack. Gwen and Jack cry helplessly for their deceased teammate. Ianto leans himself against an autopsy cart, trying to maintain his composure, while John looks at them all solemnly. | ||
The following morning, a news broadcast airs in Cardiff about its efforts to recover from the attacks during the previous night. Rhys holds Gwen beside him, who is filled with misery. Back at the Hub, Jack prepares to cryo-freeze Gray, though John is quick to warn him that if Jack woke him up in 100 years, he will not have grown any better from his tortured state of mind. Aware of this, John suggests killing Gray could be the release he needs. Jack refuses to entertain the thought, believing too much death has occurred. John comforts Jack by saying it wasn't his fault. He also questions him for not putting up a fight when he was being buried alive. He tells John it was his penance, answering his curiosity. John reverently bids farewell to Jack with a hug and kiss, then consoles him for his recent losses. He departs to explore this time period, curious to see why Jack enjoys it so much. | The following morning, a news broadcast airs in Cardiff about its efforts to recover from the attacks during the previous night.
