Transcript from 1-01 and 1-04
couple of summary notes for 1-02 and 1-03

I typed what I saw from the subtitles. Turns out I am that focused to take the time on it.

purple is for the bits that are the same. Though sometimes there were extra words in the broadcast version so it's only mostly the same. I just wanted to do some compare/contrast things.


Episode 1
Sc1

GWEN: You go to school. You go to work. You go to bed. You eat. You get kissed. You have sex. You fall in love or you don't. But it's work and bed and food and sleep, two weeks in Spain, and Christmas and birthdays and weekends, every single day until it stops. That's the world. That's the world I live in. That's all there is.
(Jack steps up beside her, into shot)
GWEN: How much more is there?
JACK: So much more.

Sc2Pre
Running anonymous person, knife, blood, mess

Sc16 alternate doctor
Gwen in police uniform getting her head examied, by someone different than in finished ep

Doc: Just watch this pen.

Sc 36 Beginning
Jack walks in. Gwen is following him. They're coming back from seeing the Weevil.

OWEN: How did she take it? I didn't hear screaming. Maybe she took the fainting option. Did she faint? No. Did she swoon?

SUZIE: Oh, you should have seen him on his first day. Crying like a baby.

OWEN: Er, That was hayfever.

Sc 40 Alternate Pub
just to note - even the bits that transcribe the same were said quite different. see it if you can.
Much more traditional pub looking pub, with wood everywhere. Flashing slot machine behind Gwen. Jack at the bar, bringing pints back to a table.
Water in left hand, beer or something in right.
He's wearing the greatcoat over that beige jacket. The whole pub has kind of a beige tone, at least on my computer. Brown and boring.
beer for Gwen, water for Jack.

GWEN: Cheap date. What's that, tap water?
JACK: Yeah. (Taking coat off, puts it on back of chair.) I gotta keep myself hydrated. Might have to travel at any moment.
GWEN: Travel where?
JACK: Home.
(Both drink. Jack does this little... concern face? Something, reacting to Gwen drinking. She's looking away from him, and gulping but not knocking it back like she did in the ep.)
GWEN: The thing is, I just don't understand...
JACK: No, I'll tell you what I don't understand. You're going to rattle on with that, "How can this be true?" kind of shtick. What's it gonna take for you people? You want evidence of aliens? How about that great big spaceship hovering over London on Christmas Day? What about the Battle of Canary Wharf? A Cyberman in every home. And still you deny it.
GWEN: My boyfriend says it's like a sort of terrorism. Like they put drugs in the water supplies, psychotropic drugs, causing mass hallucinations and stuff.
JACK: Yeah, well, your boyfriend's stupid.
GWEN: Oh, you've met him?
JACK: (Laughs, looks at her a moment.) What does he do?
GWEN: Transport manager for Luckley's the printers. It's not very exciting, but he's not stupid. He's... (pause) I want to see him. Am I going to see him again?
JACK: You'll see him tonight.
GWEN: 'Cause I'm the police and I'm on your side and you can trust me.
JACK: Sure.
GWEN: So... You catch aliens?
JACK: Yep.
GWEN: You catch aliens for a living?
JACK: Yes, we do.
GWEN: You're an alien catcher?
JACK: That's me.
GWEN: Caught any good aliens?
JACK: Tons of them.
GWEN: That's a hell of a job.
JACK: Sure is.
GWEN: This is so weird. (beat) And who are you, then?
JACK: Captain Jack Harkness.
GWEN: I did some research and there's only one Captain Jack Harkness on record, and he disappeared in 1941.
JACK: Well, that couldn't be me. Could it?
(Checks behind him, that the others in the pub are far away.)
JACK: We don't just catch aliens. We scavenge the stuff they leave behind, find ways of using it, arming the human race against the future. The 21st century is when it all changes, and you've gotta be ready.
GWEN: But who's in charge of you? Is it the government, or what?
JACK: We're separate from the government, outside the police, beyond the United Nations. 'Cause if any one power got hold of this stuff, they could use it for their own purposes.
GWEN: But so could you.
JACK: All alien technology stays on the base. No one's allowed to take anything outside.

GWEN: How the hell did you end up in Cardiff?
JACK: This is Torchwood Three. Torchwood One was London, destroyed in the battle. Torchwood Two is an office in Glasgow. Very strange man. Torchwood Three, Cardiff. Torchwood Four, it's kind of gone missing, but we'll find it one day. (Note - this time he says it serious, not so jokey as in episode.)
GWEN: So you just fancied Cardiff?
JACK: There's a rift in space and time running right through the city. The Weevils didn't come in a spaceship. They just kind of slipped through. All sorts of things wash up here. Creatures, time shifts, space junk, debris, flotsam and jetsam.
GWEN: Sounds like Cardiff, yeah.
JACK: Hey, don't knock it. I'm a citizen.
GWEN: But where are you from?
JACK: All sorts of places.
GWEN: The thing is we could liaise on this. The serial killer. I could be like your liaison with the police.
JACK: Right, I can see the mistake. You think because we showed up at the scene of a crime, we're out to catch the killer.
GWEN: Mmm.
JACK: Sorry. Nothing to do with us.
GWEN: Then what were you doing there?
JACK: (Pause, bites lip)(Remind me to screencap that) Testing the glove. We need murder victims. Simple as that. The glove only works on the recently deceased, and the more violent the trauma, the stronger the resurrection. All we need is fresh meat.
GWEN: No, you were asking that man, John Tucker. I saw you. You were asking him about his killer.
JACK: He'd just been murdered. What else are we gonna ask?
GWEN: But you could get an ID. You could help.
JACK: We're busy.
GWEN: And your work's more important?
JACK: Now you got it.
GWEN: Well, it's tough shit, 'cause if you let me go, I have a duty. I could tell them what you've got 'cause that glove could help us.
JACK: If you remember.
GWEN: What do you mean?
JACK: How's your drink?
GWEN: Have you poisoned me?
JACK: Don't be so dramatic. It's an amnesia pill. My own recipe with a pinch of denial and a dash of retcon. Wake up tomorrow morning and you'll have forgotten everything about Torchwood. Worse still, you'll have forgotten about me, which is kind of tragic.
(Gwen gets up, grabs purse, leaves. Jack gets up and grabs coat to put on, follows her. Interesting angle, screencap again.)

Episode 2
Sc 8
IANTO: Nice to see you again, miss.
GWEN: Thanks. Are they...
(Ianto looks behind her. He's got this 'grinning at idiots' kind of receptionist face on I think. Could cap it for later.)
(Jack, hands clasped behind his back, does this dramatic swirl turn to step into the doorway. Followed by Toshiko and Owen. Formation in door.)
JACK: Ready?

Sc 56
is the embarrassing first kiss dude. I can't be bothered to do the typing on that one.

Episode 3
Sc 14
SUV seen from above, then Tosh on the computer.
Basically this version has them lose the alien tech, then Gwen spot Burnie picking pockets and give chase. Episode picked up from after that.
One line though, when Jack thinks they've lost it:
JACK: Oh, well, there's a Charlotte Church look-a-like competition at Ritzy's. Let's not waste the night.

... becca blinks ...

deleted scene additional Sc 62
Clunky exposition, someone else can type it up. Go see the website for the substance of it.
Jack calls Toshiko and Owen 'kids'. As in, "Okay kids, that's enough" when they're sniping at each other.

Episode 4
Sc 5
GWEN: He's never seen a live rugby match.
JACK: I have other things to do with my time.
GWEN: Rhys knows a bloke whose cousin works at the Millennium Stadium. We should all go to the next home international.
OWEN: Anything as long as it's not cricket.
TOSHIKO: What's wrong with cricket?
OWEN: They stop for meals. How is that in any way a sport?

Sc 103
Ianto sitting in reception using his computer - which I just now notice has the clunky big monitor instead of the swish flatscreen. Camera view is through the bead curtain, so you get sort of a bars effect.
Ianto has a bruise on the right side of his face, big red patch, looks nasty.

Toshiko comes in from the outside door, with a tray with 5 cups of coffee, 4 cup sized tray and the 5th stuck in the middle. Takes that cup out and puts it in front of Ianto.
Ianto looks away from computer to stare at it.

TOSHIKO: I got you a coffee.
IANTO: Right.
TOSHIKO: Nobody ever gets you a coffee. (Turns to walk away. Pauses. Turns back to face him.) Doing anything nice for the weekend?
(Ianto gulps and gets up quickly, goes for the door button. Pushes it, goes to sit back down. Never once looks directly at Toshiko.)
IANTO: Go on through.
(Tosh goes. Hesitates in door, looks back at Ianto, who is still staring at computer. Tosh leaves.)
(Ianto turns to look at her, mouth open as if to speak... but doesn't say anything.
Door closes behind her.
He fiddles with coffee. Then drinks.)


(Incidentally, I like the little details in Ianto's reception area. He's got a big red bar heater above the door, and a two big old clocks. Say 5.30 in this scene. And a couple of desk lamps, big and slightly old looking. It's all such a contrast to downstairs.)


Like I said, like it that they changed things, but some of this is nifty.
