They really should have fucked before walking into Thames House. Sigh.
Very brilliant job, and very painful. So many gut-wrenching lines, which other people have quoted, so I'll just add the bit where Ianto had thought he'd be the one to get out. It's a very interesting character note for this Ianto -- arrogant, condescending, desperate, young, but also pragmatic enough to recognize the reality of his living situation. Not many get out. But there he goes thinking he'll get to be one of the lucky ones. I don't think he feels all that lucky at the end of this.
