Everyone froze in horror.
How could there be a Dalek here and how can it be chained to a wall? How is it possible? Rose Tyler had questions but she couldn't find her voice to ask them.
The Doctor glares at the Dalek and then at Jack. "How many more are out there?" he demands.
"We don't know," replies the Captain. "We were lucky enough to get that one."
"Lucky? Lucky?! The only "lucky" thing about you is that you can't die. Need I remind you about the year that never was?"
"That isn't something I would forget, Doctor."
"No, of course not."
The two men take the time to stare each other down. The Doctor then takes a chance to glance at the Ponds. They're staring back at him in confusion and terror. Next, he moves on to River Song who is glaring at him, clearly on Jack's side of the argument. Finally, he looks at his Rose. She's frowning back at him. Deep down the Doctor knows how she feels about the way he treats Jack, but he can't help himself. Not when Captain Jack Harkness, the fixed point in time, does something this stupid. And he called himself lucky! Does he know how many people he could have jeopardized by having that Dalek here? Not everyone comes back to life! And does he realize how much danger he's put the world in by having a Dalek here in Torchwood? What if it gets out? Then what? The Dalek could get countless amounts of alien technology and research? It gathers weapons to use on the universe? But that's probably the plan. You can't just catch a Dalek, not if it doesn't want to be caught. This one either had a master plan or a suicide wish. But looking at Rose… the frown on her face and the sadness in her eyes… the Doctor couldn't keep yelling at Jack. The Doctor, once again, looks at Jack and notices the fear in his eyes. His friends are all scared and instead of solving the situation he's acting like a frightened child.
For the first time in a long, long time, that's exactly what he feels like. A frightened child. The Doctor buries that feeling, lifts his head high and asks softly, "What exactly is going on?
Even though Captain Jack doesn't know much about the Doctor's new form, he notices the change in his friend. He's glad to have him back. "Bodies were found in the middle of the city. There were no marks whatsoever but the autopsies found missing organs. Primarily the brain and heart. We were called in and did our job. Nothing was out of the ordinary, besides the missing organs. And then it happened again and again and again."
Rose is listening intently to Jack's explanation. Her brain is teeming with of all kinds of theories and possibilities. Her eyes flash gold for a brief moment, sending a message and a warning to anyone willing to listen.
Bad Wolf is willing and waiting to help.
No one noticed the warning.
Jack continued on with his tale. "Ianto and Tosh figured out a pattern between the crime scenes and we were able to predict where and when the next one would occur. The team and I staked it out and found this little guy," he points to the Dalek in the cell, "teleporting his next victims to their base. We shot him with these bad boys," Jack holds up two oversized laser guns. "Made them myself in case the Daleks ever decided to try to take over the world again. Based them off the guns from the parallel universe's Torchwood team."
Rory, Amy and River look over at Rose when the topic of the parallel universe popped up. Ignoring their stare, Rose continues to look towards Jack and the Doctor.
"Carefully, the team and I brought the Dalek here and chained it up. The effect of the gun is still working. It hasn't moved, talked or done anything since it was brought here."
"How long have you had it?" the Doctor asks.
"A few days."
"And there haven't been any more bodies found since then?"
"No."
"And you don't know how many Daleks there are?"
"No."
The Doctor becomes lost in thought and starts pacing along the corridor. The Ponds look at each other in horror and River starts to confront them. Jack walks over to the front of the cell and wonders if he did the right thing. Maybe he should have just destroyed it while he had the chance? He thought he could torture it to get information or at least figure out what they were doing with the humans they've been taking. Why they've been killing them. He was trying to do the right thing, but in the end, did he make the right choice?
Rose was watching her friend closely. After all these years he hasn't changed much. He might flirt with anything with a pulse and make anything sound dirty, but when it came to duty and saving the world, there was nothing Captain Jack Harkness wouldn't do or try to do to save the day. Rose Tyler walks over to her friend and places her hand on his shoulder. Captain Jack gives his old friend his trademark grin and a giant hug. "I've missed you so much, Rosie!"
Laughing softly, Rose responds, "And I've missed you Captain. You don't look a day over seventy-five."
Why did she always know the right thing to say? Only Rose Tyler can make someone so full of self-doubt feel so free. "Neither do you."
Rose stopped laughing and is upset about something but then hides it with a soft smile. "You did the right thing, Jack. With the sonic screwdriver I'm sure we can find where the Daleks are hiding."
"What if the Doctor's right? You know as well as I do that he thought it was horrible to bring it here."
"When it comes to Daleks, the Doctor doesn't always think logically. He's tried to commit genocide before." Rose stiffens a bit. "Even… John… tried to commit Dalek genocide."
"John?"
She ignores the question, which raises Jack's suspicions. "My point is, the Doctor sometimes doesn't see the bigger picture. And that's why he has companions. To help him see what he's missing. To hold him back from doing something he'll regret. To make sure he always gives a second chance, even when he's dealing with something as horrifying as a Dalek."
Feeling better about his choices, Jack gives his friend a genuine Harkness smile. He opens his mouth to say something, but quickly shuts it. Rose was going to ask what was wrong but that's when she saw it.
It was the Dalek.
It moved.
