Gwen looked at Jack, blinking at what was enfolding in front of her. "You can't just let him go..."

"Ssh," Jack hissed.

Lisa looked around the hub, as if surveying her surroundings, taking stock of the Hub. “The army will be rebuilt from here. This building is suitable,” she comments. Her voice sounds eerily more mechanical than human.

“Who are you,” Jack asks.

She turns to look at him. “Human point two.”

“No! Lisa,” Ianto begs.

“So how come you look like human point one,” Jack asks her. He doesn’t smile as he speaks to her.

She blinks, not comprehending the question. “I do not understand.”

“Look at yourself. Go ahead,” Jack says.

Slowly, Lisa turns around, looking at her reflection in the metal. She stares at herself, blinking, hearing Ianto’s voice behind her.

“Remember, Lisa. Remember who you are,” Ianto pleaded with her.

“The upgrade is incomplete,” she murmured, almost as if voicing a question.

Ianto slowly moves closer to her. “You’re still human.”

“I am ... disgusting. I have ... I am ... wrong.” Her own voice starts to break, staring at herself in the reflection.

“We can help you.”

“I must start again. Upgrade properly.”

Ianto moves closer still. “For God's sake! Have you heard yourself? Lisa, please. I brought you here to heal you. So we could be together.”

His words seem to strike a chord with her. She turns toward him, facing him now.

“Together. Yes. Transplant my brain into your body. The two of us ... together. Fused. We'll be one complete person. Isn't that what love is?”

“No,” he says, sadly, giving a slow shake of his head.

She shook her head at Ianto. “Then we are not compatible.”

Reaching forward, she grabs him by his neck, raising him and throwing him across the water running through the hub. She watches as Ianto lands roughly on the concrete on the other side. Jack raises his gun at her. She retaliates, firing bolts of electricity at his gun.

“Argh,” Jack cries out, dropping the gun. “Code Nine maneuvers. Go!”

Toshiko and Owen move. Gwen is too scared to at first.

“Gwen,” Jack cries out.

Gwen still doesn’t move. Lisa turns and takes advantage, heading for her.

“Gwen! Get out of there,” he yells.

She’s nearly upon Gwen when Owen distracts her.

“Lisa,” Owen yells, causing her to stop and look up at him. “What are you waiting for?”

“Gwen,” Jack yells again.

This time he gets her attention. Gwen turns and runs toward Jack, Owen running up the second floor stairs and alongside the hub.

Lisa’s eyes narrow, watching Owen. “Run. We all ran.”
