Sleeper - part 11a
Our first interaction between Jack and Ianto happens after Jack has just been in the interrogation room with Beth and Gwen. Ianto and Owen were observing from above by the railing. Jack leaves the room to come upstairs, as he walks to join Ianto, Owen moves out of the way to let Jack stand there. Tosh is by her computer station but can also hear their conversation.
We no longer see the nervous man around Jack; something has happened between this episode and the last that he and Jack seem to have reached an understanding.
Ianto starts off the conversation not looking at Jack, although he has a very open body language towards him. He is teasing Jack, but with a very serious look on his face.
Now we get a look between the two as Ianto says “as long as it takes.”
Ianto seems so serious here.
Still serious, while telling Jack he was “terrifying”.
He looks away again, and they give us the opportunity to show that Tosh is listening in. Jack here is seeking Ianto’s approval, that he was ‘terrifying’, that he was able to put “shivers” down his spine.
Ianto has successfully teased Jack and did not once flinch when Jack makes a growl and a threatening motion of physical violence. Jack leaves and Ianto goes back to looking down at Beth. They are back to business and Owen has joined Jack from where he was standing right by Jack and Ianto.
