Jack:
Now I have to help you all go back. Find a memory that defines you, rediscover who you are. If I'm wrong, he will still be here when we've done this. [turns off computer screen] Let me take you back to before we all met. [turns off lights] Feel around for anything that makes you what you are. The hidden and the forgotten. Tell me where you are.

Gwen:
College canteen. Rhys is sitting opposite me telling stupid jokes.

[Flashback]

Rhys:
Where do you find a tortoise with no legs? Where you left it!

[Present]

Owen:
It's my birthday, ten. My mum spends the whole day screaming, 'I love you because you're my son but that doesn't mean I have to like you.'

Tosh:
Maths club. There's something so reliable about maths. Always the right answer.

Ianto:
Meeting Lisa. Falling in love. I never felt so alive.

Owen:
Turned sixteen, she packs my bags. That is the nicest thing you've done for me in years mother.

Gwen:
Kissing in the supermarket. The look on his face.

Tosh:
My first flat. I don't have a flat warming - there's no one I want to invite.

Ianto:
Losing Lisa. Like the world had ended.

Gwen:
The way he looks at me sometimes, as if he's scared of what he feels for me. I love him [turns to Jack] but not in the way I love you.

Jack:
[to Gwen] Take this [Gwen takes the retcon pill]

Tosh:
Knowing there has to be more to life than this, knowing I'm special, waiting for someone to see it.

Jack:
I saw it [gives her a pill]

Owen:
You save one life, a hundred lives but it's never enough. Who will save me?

Jack:
I will [gives him a pill]

Ianto:
Coming here, it gave me meaning again. [Turns to Jack] You. [Jack kisses his forehead then gives him a pill]

Jack:
[to everyone] You each have a short-term amnesia pill. It will make you forget Adam. We have to wipe out the last 48 hours from our memories. Go back to who we were.

[Ianto, Gwen and Owen take their pills]

Tosh:
[Switches the screen on to look at Adam in his cell] I'm going to lose so much.

Jack:
None of it was real.

Tosh:
He loved me and I loved him. It's no different from real memories.

Jack:
He forced it on you. You have to let it go

Tosh:
[Takes her pill, then looks at the screen] Goodbye Adam.

[Owen is trapped in a room and is about to be vaporised]

Owen:
[hysterical] Tosh! Toshiko, I can't get out! Not like this! I'm not dying here! Get me out of here Tosh, get me out of here, I died once and I'm not doing it again! Where's Jack? Where's Gwen, Ianto, John?!? You wanna watch the dead man die again?!

Tosh:
Owen, just stay calm.

Owen:
Why should I do that? Where's the fun in that? I'm gonna rage my way to oblivion!

Tosh:
[upset, quietly] Please stop.

Owen:
Why? Give me good bloody reason why I should, one good reason why I shouldn't keep screaming!

Tosh:
[crying] Because you're breaking my heart!

Owen:
[calms down] Sorry.

Tosh:
[still crying, harder] It's my fault.

Owen:
No, no no it isn't, no it isn't, don't you dare go there Tosh, I'm really sorry. [pause] What's gonna happen to me, Tosh?

Tosh:
[whisper] I can't.

Owen:
Please, okay, I need to know.

Tosh:
[not crying but barely able to get the words out] The containment chamber will be flooded with irradiated coolant.

Owen:
Ah, my body will slowly decompose, while I watch.

Tosh:
[crying] I should have been able to stop it!

Owen:
Sshh, come on Tosh, there's no way you could have anticipated that power spike, come on. Besides you've saved my back so many times in the past, right from the moment I joined.

Tosh:
Your second week, I had to cover for you, pretend I was a medic because you were hung over and unreachable.

Owen:
[weak laugh] What was it, space pig?

Tosh:
Space pig.

Owen:
We never did get that date did we, you and me? We sort of, uh, missed each other. Was my fault, didn't notice until it was too late, I'm sorry.

Tosh:
[weakly, crying] Me too.

Owen:
[alarms sound] It's starting.

Tosh:
[whisper] Owen.

Owen:
It's all right; really Tosh, it's all right. [last words] Oh god.
