Jack:
Hey, when you joked about the Millennium Bug, I didn't realise it was gonna have 18 legs stacked with poison. Anyone home? Hey! You know you're supposed to party like it's... [stops and sees his dead crew, then a man] Alex?

Alex:
Jack! Just in time.

Jack:
Alex? What happened? Who did this?

Alex:
Me.

Jack:
What? Why?

Alex:
We got it wrong, Jack. We thought we could control the stuff we found. And what's it brought us? So much death.

Jack:
What happened to them?

Alex:
It's good you're here. Always did have great timing. This place, it's yours. Torchwood Three. My gift to you, Jack, for a century of service as field operative. Fill this place with purpose. Before it's too late. Please.

Jack:
Alex, listen. It's going to be okay.

Alex:
No. It's not. It's really not. I looked inside. It showed me what's coming. They were mercy killings. It's the kindest thing I could do. So none of us see the storm. I'm sorry I can't do the same for you. 21st century, Jack. Everything's gonna change. And we're not ready. [points gun to forehead]

Jack:
Alex! [gets splattered with blood]
