Recap
At St. Teilo's Military Hospital in 1918, Gerald Carter and Harriet Derbyshire are checking out a hospital using advanced equipment. They startle a nurse, who admits that she's seen three ghosts that day alone in the ward. Gerald and Harriet go there and Harriet notes that they'll be assigned back to the front as soon as they recover. The lights flicker and the two persons track the signal to a room. There's a flash of light and they look on as two people appear: Toshiko Sato and a young man, Tommy. Tosh tells the man to tell them what to do and insists he's the only one who can stop it or it's the end of everything. Tommy finally tells them that he's in the ward and he needs to be with his own self. Gerald and Harriet go to the 1918 Tommy and tell him that he has to come with them, and that they're Torchwood...Read the full recap

Jack: 1918, this place was full of wounded soldiers. They'd had four years of it. Passchendaele, the Somme, a million British soldiers killed during the Great War. It was like walking into hell. Believe me. I was there.
Tosh: So what do you want to do now?
Tommy: Well, we could go back to mine, but there's only room for one and it's bloody freezing.
Tommy: Well, we could go back to mine, but there's only room for one and it's bloody freezing.
Jack: This time tomorrow, he'll be back in 1918.
Ianto: In his own time. Would you go back to yours? If you could.
Jack: Why? Would you miss me?
Ianto: Yep.
Jack: I left home a long time ago. I don't really know where I really belong. Maybe that doesn't matter any more.
Ianto: I know you get lonely.
Jack: Going home wouldn't fix that. Being here, I've seen things I never dreamt I'd see. Loved people I never would have known if I'd just stayed where I was. And I wouldn't change that for the world.
