2. Asylum
The defenders against alien incursion find their compassion tested by an odd new arrival in Cardiff. Stars John Barrowman.
When PC Andy arrests a teenager for shoplifting, he thinks it's a routine case.
Then he sees the weapon she's carrying and decides to call in Torchwood.
Under questioning from Gwen, the girl remembers her name but little else, and when she speaks it's in a strange mix of English and Scandinavian but with a Cardiff accent.
Then the girl's blood tests come through and the Torchwood team is faced with a dilemma.
Written by Anita Sullivan.
Based on a format devised by Russell T Davies.
