Torchwood, Series 2
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.
