"The suited man", Ral, meets with The Director and several other members as they sit around a big table and discuss what to do claiming that their plans have been set back however he claims that there has also been some good in Live Control's expansion with The Director bringing up a map and saying: "These markings are where we plan building compounds, gathering points and even a few secret hideouts" the Director says "All in all we have about forty-eight main locations, with a handful of smaller ones" he goes onto calling them "training camps" - The Director goes onto explain how they use educational sites like School, College and even places like prisons to recruit new people however the recruitment process is not explained by The Director in detail.

The Director and his masked men can then be seen in a car driving to one of their new sites, the building has apparently only just been built out of The Director's personal fund, they walk in and The Director seems to love it - he orders his men to bring in a group of homeless people and promises them a new life which, obviously, the homeless people accept and are put into a strange machine which shows "DNA re-writing" and, despite several other Live Control agents protesting The Director to stop the process, he continues the process regardless explaining that "this is for the recruitment process" showing his devotion to the Live Control cause and the agents that protested are killed.

### 3.03: The Middle Men

It is revealed that the homeless people became Live Control agents and were indeed "re-written" - The Director can be seen in Ral's office - the two sit opposite each other with a white table in the middle of them and discuss how well the recruitment test went and even wants a Phase 2 however he seems confused at the possibility of a second phase, they then proceed to retrieve the corpses of the three Torchwood members from the episode 3.01: Contact and they are put into the machine and are changed into "Guards" - The Director then opens the doors to the machines revealing an extremely grotesque sight, a guards uniform has been sewn onto the body of the first corpse, the skin has been peeled back to reveal the organs beneath, The Director deems these experiments a failure.

They then continue their operation by arriving in London, The Director forces his way onto the London Eye with a strange device, he reaches the top and presses a button where a strange high pitched noise is heard from the device causing the people down below and around where the suited man is to cover their ears however this isnt enough as its clear something is happening to them causing people to turn into savages and lash out on passers by with The Director claiming that Phase 2 has started.

### 3.04: Dead of Night

The Director leaves the beacon broadcasting the signal on top of the London Eye before getting off and quickly driving away with Ral in a black car, with Ral claiming that whoever survives the onslaught in London will be recruited when The Director asks what the purpose of it all was.

Upon finding out that Alexa, Dan, Colin and Shane are headed back to the UK, The Director (along with Ral) starts hypnotizing Alexa to try and sabotage the Torchwood members plans however this fails causing Live Control to try again however this fails and the plan changes to The Director suggesting to try and use the post-hypnotic suggestion to change Alexa folllowing her being shot by an Asset with the Director saying "she is injured and vulnerable - we can heal her and then...recruit her" - The Director gets in a van and sets off with a team of converted humans from the London incident and arrives at the hospital in Manchester, an invasion occurs and The Director finally meets the Torchwood members, he points out that Shane is holding a gun to him and states "thats not you at all" suggesting that he knows about each of the members.
