The Mother:
I knew it.

Jilly:
What's happening?

The Mother:
You're about to meet the creator.

Jilly:
It's that soldier.

The Mother:
Hmph.

Jilly:
He's with Oswald?

[As Gwen, Jack and Danes come down in the lift, the Mother goes to meet them. Her guards have their guns ready]

The Mother:
Captain Jack Harkness. At last.

Oswald:
No, no, no, no, this isn't about Jack. No, ma'am. Excuse me, but it's not at all. My name is Oswald Danes. Well. Hmm. Good evening, Miss Kitzinger. You've been promoted. And this is the new empire you're servicing? My, my, my, my, my, my, my.

The Mother:
With all due respect, Mr Danes, you're a by-product of the Miracle. Not really relevant at all.

Oswald:
That's what the Captain said. He tried to tell me that my life has become a very small thing. Tiny. And yet right here, right now, at the very end, I would describe myself differently. I would call myself vital. [Danes opens his coat to reveal a suicide jacket of explosives. He arms the trigger] Madam, you're a fine woman. You should be careful now, very careful indeed. It seems like you've been planning some kind of an explosion, but I'd love to make sure you're still inside.

Jack:
Advantage Torchwood.

The Cousin:
Well, I'm afraid we have a major disagreement here in Buenos Aires. I'd say advantage Families. Say hello to your friends.

Jack:
What's that supposed to mean?

Rex:
He means us.

Gwen:
Rex? Oh my God. And Esther?

Esther:
I'm here. They caught us.

Gwen:
Just glad to hear you're alive.

The Cousin:
I'll swap your standoff for my standoff. [aims his gun at Esther's head]

Rex:
Don't you do it.

The Cousin:
But nobody dies. She'll keep on living, just perforated.

Rex:
Threaten me, you coward, not her.

Esther:
Rex. Hey, I'm okay.

Jack If you hurt her, we've got explosives here ready to go.

Oswald:
And don't imagine I won't. Whatever happens here tonight, there's no place on Earth that I can go, and I wasn't planning on coming out of here alive.

The Cousin:
[lowers his gun] So, who's gonna lose their nerve first?

Jack:
The thing is, we don't need explosives or guns or threats, because I've got the most powerful thing of all. [walks to the cleft in the world and cuts his finger. His blood flies into it] It wants me. Mortal blood. The only one in the whole world. So I suggest you're very careful with me, okay?

Oswald:
And if you fail to take the Captain's advice, you can certainly come to oblivion with me. Jack, you're the future man. You've seen wonders beyond this world, so tell us of these Blessings and Miracles.
