S01E08: 'They Keep Killing Suzie'
The Torchwood crew are brought in to an investigate a brutal double murder by the police after the name of the top secret organisation is found scrawled in blood at the crime scene.

Short of leads, a decision is made to use the 'resurrection glove' used by Suzie Costello before her death. This alien device enables the dead to be brought back to life for between thirty seconds and two minutes depending on the empathy of the person wearing the glove.

Back at their headquarters, the team take it in turns to try the glove on the victim, but only see results when Gwen Cooper wears it. The victims are briefly revived but give away little apart from the name of Max and some kind of 'pilgrim' meetings.

Max is tracked down and incarcerated in the Hub after a bit of a scuffle, but it soon emerges that he is merely a pawn in a bigger game.

After much debate, Suzie Costello is revived by Gwen and the glove, but refuses to return to her state of death much to the shock of the others.

Suzie starts to form a close bond with Gwen and encourages the former policewoman to allow her just one last visit to see her dying father. With the pair gone from the Hub, the rest of the Torchwood team soon realise the Suzie is gaining in strength as Gwen is losing hers. They face a race against time to track them down and reverse the process...

Excellent episode, maybe the best yet in terms of learning about old and new characters. But, can anyone help me trace the artist and song that was played at the end of the episode? It began with 'if I could stay in your arms tonight', or something like that. Whisky xx
