Overheard at the Ianto shrine
Boy: Who’s Ianto?
Boy’s mother: He was a brave, brave man who gave his life to save us all.
Boy: Like Jesus?
Boy’s mother: Yes, like Jesus.
[Agnes, to Ianto:] ‘I was wondering if we could have a word.’
‘Oh’, said Ianto, suddenly fearful again. ‘Is it about the tea? I’ve been wondering if I should switch brands…’
‘No no’, said Agnes, waving a hand. ’[…] I wished to have a word with you… about Jack. About… you and Jack.’
Ianto made a tiny, awkward noise.
Agnes leant forward, smiling. ‘Am I correct in understanding that there is an intimacy between the two of you?’
Ianto nodded, looking as if he’d like to hide under a rock.
Ianto: I killed three girls. Strangled them.
Jack: No.
REALLY AMAZING LIE DETECTOR TEST: He’s telling the truth.
Jack: No.
Ianto: But—
Jack: No.
