SPOILER ALERT!!!!
On a rainy side street in Cardiff, police examine the dead body of a man stabbed in the back, the third such victim.
Officer Gwen Cooper arrives, and is surprised when everyone pulls back to allow a group of four people identified only as "Torchwood" take over the crime scene.
Gwen climbs a multi-story car parking lot to get a better look, a woman named Suzie takes out a metal glove and brings the victim back to life for two minutes.
The man is unable to come to terms with his death and is unable to identify his killer.
The two minutes pass and he dies again.
The tall man, who identified himself to the corpse as Captain Jack Harkness, startles Gwen by looking up and addressing her
The next day, Gwen is injured while breaking up a pub brawl.
At the hospital she spots the same tall man running up the stairs and she gives chase, but the upper floor is sealed off.
Gwen asks a porter about this, and the porter says he heard there had been a chemical spill and she enters the sealed area and sees a figure down the corridor.
As she nears it, asking questions, it becomes apparent it is not human, but Gwen just thinks it is someone in a mask playing a prank.
When the porter shows up, he marvels at the sophistication of the mask and then the creature sinks its fangs into his neck.
The Torchwood team suddenly appears to subdue the creature and at Jack's prompting she runs off
Gwen sees the Torchwood vehicle leaving and gives chase in her police car she calls its registration number in and finds that the car does not exist
Gwen follows the team to the Wales Millennium Center where they vanish.
That evening she returns to the square hoping to spot something out of the ordinary when sees a Pizza delivery scooter circling the area and decides to check with them and finds out that they have a delivery record for "Torchwood".
Buying a couple of pizzas she goes to the address which appears to be a tourist information center she pretends to be delivering pizza to a "Mr. Harkness".
A man in a suit presses a button revealing a secret door and waves her through.
Going down a lift she steps through a circular doorway into a larger chamber centered on the fountain in the square
One of them bursts out laughing which sets everyone off cause they knew she was coming.
The Japanese woman confirms that Torchwood covered up the porter's death by means of a cover story.
Captain Jack takes Gwen to see the creature that is being kept in a holding cell and they call it a Weevil.
Jack explains that they are alien and live in the sewers but recently have been coming up to the surface and attacking people, but they are not sure why.
Jack introduces Gwen to everyone, Toshiko Sato, Dr Owen Harper, Suzie Costello and Ianto Jones.
Jack then takes Gwen back out by way of the "scenic route", which is a stone slab that rises from the Hub right up next to the fountain.
Gwen is mystified as to why no one notices them and Jack explains that the stone has a perception filter that makes anyone on it invisible until they step off the stone.
Jack tells Gwen about Torchwood.
They do not just catch aliens but also scavenge what they leave behind to arm the human race for what is to come in the 21st century.
They are separate from the government, outside the police and beyond the United Nations
The governments of the world have no control over Torchwood to prevent them from using their technology for their own purposes.
Cardiff is Torchwood Three, and they have set up here because there is a space time rift going through the city which washes up all kinds of alien flotsam and jetsam
Gwen offers to be Torchwoods liaison with the police but Jack informs her that he has slipped an amnesia pill along with a sedative into her drink and that she will not remember any of this the next morning.
Gwen runs home and tries to type a note to herself on the computer but she falls asleep due to the effects of the sedative just as Ianto intercepts and deletes the message on her computer.
The next day she awakens her memory of the previous night gone.
Back at her flat, she notices the word "Remember" written on a Millennium Center program and returns to the square where she sees Suzie step out from the shadows.
Suzie tells her that she has seen the police report about the weapon and knows why Gwen is back.. the amnesia pill can be tripped by a specific image.
Suzie shows Gwen the knife that Gwen saw on her welding workbench earlier and confesses that she is the killer.
The glove needs fresh corpses to work properly, the more violent the death the better it works
Suzie knows that Torchwood will now find out, and pulls a gun on Gwen.
Jack rises on the slab, but Suzie has been working at Torchwood so long that she can see through the perception filter and shoots Jack in the head.
She is about to shoot Gwen when Jack rises from behind her, his wound healing rapidly and orders her to put down the gun.
Suzie puts the gun under her chin and kills herself.
Back in the Hub, Jack puts the glove and knife in a box and seals it with a lock storing it away while the rest of the team returns their devices.
Suzie's body is put in a body bag and placed in a vault.
Standing on the roof of the Millennium Center, Jack tells Gwen that he died once and was brought back to life.
Since then he has been immortal, at least until he can find the right sort of doctor who can explain what happened.
He agrees with Gwen that perhaps Torchwood can do more to help people and offers her a job and she accepts
