Torchwood Episode 1:
Everything Changes

Plot

A serial killer is on the loose in Cardiff. At the scene of one of the stabbings, PC Gwen Cooper witnesses something not intended for her eyes, when a mysterious group of investigators known as Torchwood uses an alien device to bring the murder victim briefly back to life. Becoming obsessed with the organisation and its leader, Captain Jack Harkness, Gwen's enquiries lead her into a violent encounter with a monstrous creature called a Weevil. When Jack saves her life, Gwen grows more determined than ever to uncover his secrets -- provoking a series of events which will irrevocably change her life, and Torchwood itself.
