Jack opened a box on the autopsy table. "On the plus side, we've got good evidence. Relatively undamaged,"
"On the downside, there's an alien on the loose. We don't know where it is, why it's here, or what it will do," Owen argued.
"Now we find and recover whatever came out of there,"
Ianto cleared his throat. He stood on the balcony with a clipboard, looking down at them. "This might help. Night club death, been phoned in a 999. Circumstances sound...a little unusual. Might be connected,"

The Torchwood team watched the CCTV footage of the victim's final moments on the computer screen.
"Well..." Jack said.
"Oh my god..." Toshiko said.
"He just..."
"Came and went," Jack finished.
Owen laughed. "Now that's how I'd like to go,"
"I'm sure we could arrange it," Toshiko said.
"How can that...it doesn't make any sense. It's not possible!" Banksey proclaimed.
"Thanks for your help. We've got all we need," Jack guided Banksey out of the room.
"What are you talking about?" Nightingale questioned, "We don't have a clue. We don't even know her name,"
Jack left the room followed by the others; they walked through the club on their way to the exit, talking as they went." We'll need a body from the crowded chamber with a close match to the dead guy's appearance. Disfigure the face and dump it somewhere remote. Make it look like a suicide attempt,"
"You have a stash of bodies?" Nightingale asked in shock.
Jack scanned the area, pausing near the bar as Tosh and Owen left.
Nightingale chased Jack into the alley behind the club as he continued scanning the area.
"Same elements we recorded at the crash site. There are traces all over the club, but they are strongest in this area. Something happened here,"
"Perhaps that can help,"
Jack looked to where Nightingale was looking and saw the CCTV camera. "Good eye,"
***
Nightingale and Jack watched the CCTV tape of the alley, and they saw a gas inhabit a girl.
Jack removed the video and kept it. "At least now we know a little more. The alien's taken on a host body,"
"We can't let her kill again," Nightingale said.
