History
Torchwood Los Angeles was set up in the 1970s by Mr Beamish, a British agent of Torchwood, as the Institute wanted to monitor alien phonmena in a former colony. Beamish described the team as a last outpost of the British Empire. Marlow Sweet, Charlotte Du Bujeau and Gabriella Martinez were recruited by Beamish. Following instructions from Beamish via phone, the trio solved several cases, including numerous visits to Roswell and contact with Terileptils among other aliens.

The team investigated disappearances of budding actress, exposing Don Donohue selling his clients to alien bidders to be preserved as dolls. Charley was killed in action and an actress she'd saved, Valerie Fox, joined the team. Following this incident, the team refused to answer Beamish's calls anymore. (AUDIO: The Dollhouse)
