Torchwood, Series 4: Miracle Day

Jack:
It's like there's some sort of energy behind this. A will, a drive, a consciousness, because this miracle, it's more than people just surviving. They are so alive. You saw Lyn, that woman at the airport. She should have been paralysed but she just kept on going. And I've seen bodies at the morgue, burnt and broken, still alive, staring right at me. They weren't even allowed to be unconscious. It's as if something is willing them to go on, each and every individual forced into life.

Rex:
That was me. All the way through my accident, wide awake.

Gwen:
And you could feel everything that happened? It still hurt?

Rex:
Yeah.

Esther:
So what did the search say?

Jack:
Well, that's the problem. Everybody's had the same idea. Morphic field gets ten million results.

Esther:
Then I'll go through them, all ten million. [to Rex, pointedly] See, that's what I do when I'm at my desk. Hard work.

Rex:
[softly] I know.

Esther:
He cockblocked the ATF.

Gwen:
[laughs] I have no idea what any of that means.

Esther:
The ATF's the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. They asked the CIA about information on a warehouse here in Washington, but Friedkin forwarded the request onto ancillary three times.

Gwen:
What's ancillary?

Rex:
It's a paper chase. It's a guaranteed way to lose something in the system.

Esther:
So if he tried to stop people from seeing the warehouse, then maybe he was paid to protect it, which would indicate there's something in there. It's at Third and Boston, south west.

Rex:
All right, so we've got a mission. First thing we need to do is steal a new car.

Jack:
Ahem. So, who's giving the orders?

Rex:
Okay, Torchwood, what do you say?

Jack:
We need to steal a new car. [grins]
