Torchwood Episode 35:
Escape To LA

Plot

Torchwood sets its sights on top secret data hidden at a Phicorp installation in Los Angeles. Before they leave Washington, however, Esther's decision to visit her sister -- whose psychological problems have been exacerbated by the events following Miracle Day -- draws a Phicorp assassin onto their trail. Meanwhile, Oswald finds his status as a media sensation challenged by Ellis Hartley Monroe, a conservative politician who advocates a grim fate for the “living deceased”. And, in Wales, the next stage in Phicorp's exploitation of the Miracle has very personal consequences for the Torchwood team.
