“Ianto…”

In the dimly lit room, Ianto grabs his gun and points it at the woman standing across the room from him. It’s Annie, the pizza girl. Her shirt is soaked with blood and there seems to be a cut across her forehead.

“Ianto. It’s me… It’s Lisa,” she murmured.

Ianto steps around the table. Hesitantly, Annie walks toward him.

“I'm human again. You fought so hard for me, I had to hold on for you, so I took this body and transplanted the brain.”

She had a look as she stared at him, a pleading look. Slowly, Ianto gazes down at Lisa’s body on the floor.

“You’re not Lisa,” he said softly.

“You always said you didn't love me for what I looked like. Last time you said that, it was a Saturday. We were hungover. You made cheese toasties, and moaned I hadn't de-scaled my kettle.”

As she spoke, she stepped closer. Ianto cried as he listened her.

“That night, we camped on a beach in Brittany. It got so freezing we wore our coats and shared one sleeping bag. When we woke up the next morning, a dog was pissing on our tent.”

She sees his tears but presses onward, needing to speak, to get her words out for him.

“Hold me, Ianto. I need you to hold me. I need you to tell me it's all right.”

Still crying, Ianto steps forward. Wrapping his arms carefully around her, he holds her, for a moment. But the moment doesn’t last long. Releasing her, Ianto steps back, cocking the gun and pointing it right in her face. She looks a little confused at this.

”What are you doing? Ianto, it's me! You wouldn't shoot me. I did this for you!”

”I'm sorry. I'm sorry,” he repeats. He lowers the gun, unable to stop his crying. “Lisa!” Ianto slowly turns away from her He can’t do it.

”We can be upgraded ... together.”

A gun fires hitting Lisa-in-Annie in the stomach. Turning around, Ianto sees Owen, Gwen, Jack, and Toshiko aim their guns at Lisa. They fire… and keep firing. Lisa falls backward onto the table from the impact of the bullets. Turning, she looks at Ianto. The team lower their weapons.

Ianto turns back to look at them. While the rest of the team is looking back at him, Gwen can’t look. He turns back to Lisa, falling to his knees beside the bodies.
