Torchwood, Series 4: Miracle Day

The Mother:
You must feel terrible.

Jilly:
No, I'm fine.

The Mother:
No, I mean you really must. That's what The Blessing does to you the closer you get. You're scared, am I right? Your skin's a little too tight. There's something just out of the corner of your eye you can't quite see, hmm?

Jilly:
Yes.

The Mother:
You never get used to it. Come this way, Miss Kitzinger.

Jilly:
It's Miss Meredith.

The Mother:
I don't really care. The men enjoy those sorts of games. But the feeling, it started as soon as we dug deep enough. I think it's The Blessing's attempt to communicate.

Jilly:
Then it's a living thing?

The Mother:
Oh, we have no idea. But certainly The Blessing sends some sort of impact back at the onlooker. [Jilly is led to a warehouse and into a goods lift] We have a theory. We say The Blessing shows you to yourself. I've seen people look upon The Blessing and end their lives. There's a brilliant truth about that, because each and every time that person was hiding something vile. Isn't that wonderful? It's exhilarating, the damage it does. I wonder what you'll see.
