In the episode, a team of alien hunters called Torchwood investigate kidnappings of aliens called Weevils by an estate agent in Cardiff called Mark Lynch (Alex Hassell), who uses them for deadly cage fights with rich humans. PlotJack is chasing a Weevil through the streets of Cardiff. He passes the restaurant where Gwen and her boyfriend, Rhys are having a dinner. Gwen wants to help Jack and after an angered Rhys orders her to stay, she leaves with Jack. The two witness the Weevil being captured by unknown men. Several hours later, Toshiko tracks the van to a deserted warehouse. She and Jack go to investigate and find the body of a man who has been mauled by a Weevil; the dead man's phone rings, and a distorted voice warns Jack to drop the case. Owen, who is still recovering from Diane Holmes's departure, is reluctantly enlisted to look into the estate agent overseeing the warehouse. Gwen ends her affair with Owen, and then comes clean about it after administering a memory-altering drug to Rhys to ensure he'll forget the conversation. Rhys doesn't forgive her before falling asleep due to the drug's effects, and Gwen is distraught. Meanwhile, Jack and Ianto follow reports of suspicious Weevil-like injuries and interrogate one of the victims at the hospital. The man refuses to talk, and after being pressured by Jack claims that if he talks, "They'll kill me." After getting into a fight at a bar, Owen and Mark form a sort of friendship. Mark reveals he knows Owen is not who he pretends to be, but wants to show him what happens with captured Weevils anyway. The Weevils are used for a fight club, where they are pitted against willing men in a one-on-one fight. Each combatant puts down £1000, and the person who lasts the longest in the cage wins the pot. The people in the fight club are men with disposable income trying to find meaning in their lives. Mark considers Owen weak since he disapproved and he forces him to fight. Owen agrees to fight a Weevil, and he initially stands without fear and does not challenge the Weevil until it strikes him. The rest of his team storm into the complex and pull him out before the Weevil can finish him off. They bust the operation, but Mark gets into the cage with the Weevil Owen was previously fighting to prove he too can show no fear. Owen admits to Jack that he did not want to be rescued and later goes to Torchwood's captive Weevils, intimidating them. Continuity
