Gwen grabs his arm, and starts tugging him away. "Ianto, move! Get out!" When he fails to move for a second, she panics and starts shoving him to the stairs. "GET OUT I SAID! MOVE! MOVE!"
They finally run, as Lisa gets to her feet, clattering down the stairs to meet a remarkably living Jack.
"You should be dead," Owen says, almost accusingly.
Jack simply shrugs. "I'm the stubborn type." He grabs a blowtorch and lights it, before seeing a squeeze bottle on the desktop, and grabbing that, too. Lisa advances toward them, cold and determined, and he brandishes his improvised weapons and prays this works. "Get behind me!" he tells the other three. She pauses, but doesn't exactly look like she's about to run.
"That's right. Stay back," he grins, extending the blue flame slightly closer to her. "This'll at least give you heartburn."
"The power will run out," she replies in a matter-of-fact tone. "I can wait."
She probably can, if Jack's one, wild, improbably plan doesn't work out, he thinks.
"Jack, help her. Give her a chance to surrender..." Ianto says, and no matter how loving a boyfriend he may be, he is obviously concussed.
Behind him, Owen and Gwen hold him back from starting forward.
"Have you not seen what she's done?" Owen asks.
"Let her stay in the cells! We have to reverse the process!"
"I've told you!" Jack interrupts, barely holding onto his temper. "We're past that! Hold him back!"
"What are you gonna do?" Gwen asks him uncertainly, but obeys.
"Don't ask questions. Just get him on there and hold him!
They push Ianto back to the concrete slab that doubles as a lift when they actually have power to the hub, keeping a firm hold on him. Jack abruptly squeezes the bottle, squirting the contents onto Lisa, who seems mildly annoyed, but mostly nonplussed.
"...What is that stuff?" Gwen asks, sounding as if she really doesn't want to know, but can't stop herself asking.
"Kind of a barbecue sauce. It helps it identify its food."
"Help what identify its food?!"
Jack ignores her, instead turning the blowtorch off and putting it hastily down before jumping up onto the lift with the others before Lisa can recover from her confusion. He glances at Ianto, almost ashamed.
"I'm sorry," he says, and presses a certain combination into his wrist strap, causing an answering screech from high above.
"Come on Tosh, hurry up," he mutters as the Cyberwoman begins to advance.
Ianto's eyes widen as he realises that Jack is entirely serious. "You'll kill her!" he shouts after a second, voice anguished, and he tugs against Gwen and Owen's restraining hands, just as the pterodactyl flies out of the pipe opening near the ceiling. It swoops down, straight for Lisa. Ianto can't get free, but continues yelling at Jack, desperate.
