Upstairs, Tosh is still working on the power, frantically connecting wires. "Yes!" she whispers as her power cell light flickers on.
Below, the invisible lift stone is still rising. "Hold him still!" Jack shouts as Ianto struggles against Owen and Gwen's grip and screams, "No!"
Toshiko checks her power cells and opens the outside door to find the others.
Down in the hub, the pterodactyl is attacking Lisa. Lisa fights back, screaming her terrible metallic scream.
"Call it off her!" Ianto pleads. "You can do that! Have some fucking mercy!" But still the lift stone continues to rise and the pterodactyl and the cyberwoman continue their struggle. Ianto keeps screaming as the lift trapdoor opens and the lift carries them up to the street.
Once they're at street level Jack steps off, and Gwen and Owen release Ianto. Tosh runs to them, laughing and sobbing with relief.
"It worked!" She looks around. "What happened to ... ?"
Jack shakes his head and brushes the question aside. "No," he says, panting.
Ianto stands with his back to them, quietly sobbing, and then turns to them and punches Jack in the face. "You could have saved her!"
Gwen pulls Ianto away, holding him back while Jack cries out in pain and Ianto continues shouting. "You're worse than anything locked up down there! One day, I'll have the chance to save you ... and I'll watch you suffer and die."
"It was the only thing that would stop her!" Jack says harshly, Owen holding him back, Gwen in front of Ianto.
"Listen," Toshiko says, "when I was at reception, I managed to trip the lockdown timer. The power should be coming back on any second. We can get back in."
Ianto doesn't pause to look--he simply runs back to Torchwood.
"Ianto!" Jack shouts, and they all take off after him.
