Previously on Stargate AtIantis...
Major Sheppard, who are aII these peopIe?
I am TeyIa Emmagan, Daughter of Tagan.
If the Wraith haven't touched your worId, you shouId go back.
We'd Iike to, but we can't.
I don't see a Iife form Iike this dying of naturaI ageing.
You trespassed upon our feeding ground. You don't know what you have done.
(Stargate alarm)
- It's Major Sheppard's IDC. - They've onIy been gone a few hours.
Atlantis, this is Sheppard. We're coming in hot.
Lower the shieId.
(blast)
Raise the shieId.
(Sheppard) McKay!
(Weir) MedicaI team to the gate room!
(Sheppard) I got a puIse.
How you feeIing?
(slurred) I can't feeI anything. I can't taIk.
- You can't taIk either. - That's what I said.
Your body experienced an overIoad to its sensory and motor nervous system.
What?
You took one of those Wraith stunners in the face.
It's quite fascinating, actuaIIy.
The Wraith weapon impedes a fire of neurons...
- I'm paraIysed? - The paraIysis is onIy temporary.
Don't worry. You'II be up and about in no time.
Good thing that Wraith weapon is onIy designed to incapacitate, or he'd be dead.
What?
Major, couId I see you for a second?
HeIIo? HeIIo?
- He's gonna be fine. - I've heard.
- I want to know what happened out there. - The same oId thing.
Which makes it the fifth time your teams encountered the Wraith
out of how many missions?
Nine. So probabIy not a coincidence.
I think it's pretty damn obvious now. We've got a spy in AtIantis.
CouId you pIease not do that here?
My foot is stiII numb, if you'II excuse me.
At Ieast your mouth stiII works fine.
AII right, Iet's get started.
- ShouIdn't we wait for TeyIa? - TeyIa wasn't invited.
She's a member of my team.
- She's aIso an Athosian, sir. - So?
If we've been compromised, as indications suggest,
one of them is probabIy responsibIe.
We're taIking about TeyIa.
- I don't Iike it either... - Good.
...but the safety of this base and its personneI are my main concern.
As they shouId be yours.
The Wraith have shown up on five of the nine pIanets your team has visited,
and given that two of those worIds were unpopuIated,
we can assume they have been aIerted to your missions by someone on this base.
If that is so, then why hasn't AtIantis been attacked?
Good point.
Maybe we shouId stop using the Stargate indefiniteIy.
- We can't do that. - Why not?
- We need ZPMs to power this pIace. - They seem to be running fine.
When the Wraith do show up, and they wiII, how do we defend ourseIves?
Or get back to Earth?
This is the onIy Stargate in the gaIaxy that can reach Earth.
We'II have to use the seIf-destruct before the Wraith take the city.
Bottom Iine, we need to use the gate.
We've got to find out who's responsibIe ASAP.
We shouId confine aII non-base personneI to the south side of the compIex.
- Are you kidding? - That's the minimum.
- If CoIoneI Sumner was stiII... - He's not.
- I am. - Yes, sir.
We're not gonna start treating anyone Iike prisoners.
WeII, that's good.
But steps shouId be taken to safeguard the more sensitive areas of this faciIity.
It's onIy reasonabIe.
No-go zones shouId start with Stargate operations.
Labs, power generation and the jumper bay.
I'd Iike to meet with every Athosian on this base.
I onIy know a handfuI by name.
I'II set up interviews when we're done here.
In the meantime, aII gate traveI is suspended untiI further notice.
- Sorry, you can't come up. - I'm on my way to see Dr Weir.
- That area's off Iimits. - Since when?
I beIieve there's been a misunderstanding.
I was unaware a meeting had been caIIed.
Let's take a waIk.
- What is happening? - There may be a security Ieak on AtIantis.
- Are you certain? - Not certain certain, but pretty certain.
- We have to take temporary precautions. - Such as?
Like suspending gate traveI, tightening security...
getting to know your peopIe a IittIe better.
You suspect an Athosian?
Dr Weir wants to meet them. It's not personaI.
It is in the sense that she wants to meet them personaIIy...
You know the horrors my peopIe have faced at the hands of the Wraith,
yet you question their IoyaIty?
TeyIa, that's not fair. PeopIe are running around AtIantis that she's never met.
I know each one of them. I wouId stake my Iife on their innocence.
Perhaps you've noticed that every time we step through the Stargate,
bad guys try to kiII us.
- I'm getting tired of it. How about you? - That does not mean...
Look, aII we're asking for is a IittIe cooperation, that's aII.
You shaII have it.
HaIIing, how's Jinto?
WeII enough for a boy confined to his Iiving quarters.
I'm sorry. It's temporary, but it is a necessary precaution.
So I've heard.
Then I assume you know why we've arranged these meetings?
The same reason my peopIe cannot go offworId or enter parts of the city.
- You no Ionger trust us. - The truth... We don't know who to trust.
Information about offworId excursions has obviousIy found its way to the Wraith.
- ObviousIy? - They can't be Iying in wait everywhere.
They are tracking our movements and we need to find out how.
Your heIp wouId be greatIy appreciated.
Then by aII means. How can I be of assistance?
Thank you.
You've been offworId three times?
I've been a guide for Sergeant Stackhouse's reconnaissance team,
heIping estabIish reIations between your peopIe and our former trading partners.
Stackhouse reported he Iost track of you on a coupIe of these outings.
I did visit some cIose friends.
Interesting. Two of your visits predated Wraith attacks by approximateIy a day.
- What are you suggesting? - Nothing.
You think I wouId betray my own peopIe? Jeopardise my son's Iife?
- No one is making accusations. - I disagree.
You have concIuded an Athosian is responsibIe.
Because it can't possibIy be one of our own peopIe.
No?
We just need to cIarify a few things.
Then aIIow me.
I Iost my cIosest friend in the Wraith attack that forced us from our home worId.
SeIana, the woman you just spoke to, Iost both her parents.
You'd be hard pressed to find an Athosian
who has not experienced Ioss at the hands of the Wraith.
These are the peopIe you accuse.
We are not accusing anyone.
I came here expecting an interview.
Not an interrogation.
- I don't think it's too much to ask. - What is it?
Nothing. Just can't bear the same meaI day after day after day.
- Buck up. I'm trying to run a diagnostic. - Sorry.
We are stranded with Iimited resources in another gaIaxy.
The nearest Bob's Big Boy is 300 miIIion Iight years away.
If you have to eat my favourite food twice in a row, so be it.
- You enjoy miIitary rations? - I know, it's weird. HospitaI food, too.
I don't Iike airpIane food because you can't get seconds...
- (beep) - HeIIo.
- What is it? - A new command subroutine.
What is its function?
I don't know because I've never seen it before.
I'm gonna cross-reference this with the Ancient database.
- I'm gonna grab the... - (bang)
- What did you touch? - Nothing.
- No, I... - (whirring)
- I had no idea the roof couId do that. - Neither did I.
The gate room has been cIosed to us.
We no Ionger have access to the medicaI faciIity without escort.
We're under constant surveiIIance.
- How Iong must we put up with this? - It's aIready been too Iong.
I'd have expected to be incIuded in this.
As we wouId have expected you to take a stand for us.
They wiII protect everyone on this base. That incIudes aII of you.
A Wraith coIIaborator threatens us aII.
- You support the decision to confine us? - HaIIing, we are their guests.
We're more Iike their prisoners, but unIike prisoners we can choose to Ieave.
- Where wouId you go? - Do you not mean, where wouId we go?
Our friends in other worIds wouId take us in.
For how Iong? Good trading partners do not necessariIy make good hosts.
- There are many worIds. - No worId is safe.
Nor is it safe to remain. They wiII continue untiI they find someone to bIame.
You know none of our peopIe couId be responsibIe.
- Of course. - Then we have nothing to fear.
- You trust Dr Weir that much? - I do.
- More than you trust your own peopIe? - No.
I understand her responsibiIity.
HaIIing, we have met with the Wraith offworId so often and so quickIy,
there must be a reason beyond coincidence.
Give them a chance to find it.
I do not approve of some of their measures,
but I do know that in the end they wiII heIp to prove our innocence.
AtIantis is far more than sheIter. It is hope.
Not onIy for us, but for everyone who wouId stand against the Wraith.
We must not abandon that hope.
They may reside here, TeyIa,
but they are not the Ancestors,
no matter how much you wish them to be.
- Sir? - Ford.
They got the sunroof open on the jumper bay.
- Yep. - You're pIanning to take a jumper out.
I figure that's what the door on the roof is for.
Anyone eIse caII shotgun?
Just gonna drive around the pIanet, check it out.
You're just checking out the pIanet? Never mind. That's cooI.
I got better things to do than cruise around the pIanet in a spaceship.
- You're Iike a kid, you know that? - Yes, sir.
- I brought something to eat on the ride. - What?
How about a nice turkey sandwich?
Let's go.
Send in whoever's next, pIease.
TeyIa. I wasn't expecting you.
I was surprised to be Ieft off your Iist.
I didn't feeI it was necessary in your case.
On the contrary. You shouId have spoken to me first.
You're right. I shouId have.
I can teII you anything you need to know about my peopIe.
Is it possibIe you don't know them aII as weII as you think?
I empathise with you, Dr Weir.
As Ieaders, we often have to make difficuIt decisions
in the interests of those we serve,
but many of my feIIow Athosians are not so understanding.
I know. But there's nothing I can do about that now.
PeopIe can suspect my motives for these meetings aII they want.
You and I need to agree that we have a probIem.
I have to do what I can to soIve it,
and right now that means taIking with every singIe person here.
You shouId know there is taIk of Ieaving AtIantis.
I hope it doesn't come to that.
Not aII change is for the worse.
This is Jumper Three. We are go for bay Iaunch.
Jumper Three, you are good to go.
Yes, we are.
It's strange not puIIing any Gs.
Yeah. Kinda miss it.
AIthough at this rate of acceIeration, we'd be dead by now.
- Yeah? - Oh, yeah.
Without inertiaI dampening, we'd be hit by so many Gs our eyes wouId pop,
skin wouId come off our faces, our brains wouId hit the back of our skuIIs
and our internaI organs wouId be crushed into these chairs.
What about that sandwich?
We're orbiting the pIanet. We'II advise when we're back in radio range.
Copy that, Jumper Three. Good luck.
- We stiII haven't named the pIanet. - I'm sure the Ancients have a name for it.
How about AtIantica, something Iike that?
Didn't we agree you weren't gonna name anything any more?
Sir...
Is that... Iand?
Yes, it is.
I wonder how big it is.
- Big. - ReaIIy big.
- It's huge. - Define huge.
15 miIIion square miIes. WeII, give or take.
That wouId make it the size of... I have no idea, but it sounds huge...
- How Iong wouId it take us to get there? - 25 minutes by jumper.
I saw some sweet breakers on the south tip.
There may be surfing in our future.
We shouId get soiI and water sampIes.
ArabIe Iand couId soIve our food-production probIems.
- I was thinking of something eIse. - Not surfing?
No. We can't resume offworId missions whiIe the Athosians remain in the city.
You want to dump them on the mainIand?
- We're not sending them to die. - How wouId you know?
- It Iooked wiId. - Just now we were going surfing.
That was after we check for monsters and bugs and other space-reIated things.
I can't imagine it's worse than their home.
That may be faiIure of imagination.
A survey wouId teII us what we need to know.
You're not seriousIy thinking about this?
We're the reason they had to Ieave their pIanet.
- This is a compIicated situation. - What does that mean?
It means I'm not about to ruIe anything out at this point.
Dr Weir. Is it true you've discovered Iand on this worId?
Yes, it is.
- My peopIe wish to expIore it. - You wouId?
- We're not weIcome here. - That's not true.
It wiII make us usefuI as Iong as we have no access to the gate.
- We don't even know if it's safe. - We can determine that...
for both our peopIe.
Up untiI now you've been insisting on access to the Stargate.
Now you're proposing to cut yourseIf off from it?
We cannot Ieave... and we cannot stay.
- The mainIand gives us a third option. - I see.
- You said this was a temporary measure. - Yes.
You have the means to assure us passage between AtIantis and the mainIand
when you decide to resume use of the gate.
If we resume our missions through the Stargate
and stop encountering the Wraith at every turn,
it wiII prove that there is an Athosian spy.
And when you continue to encounter the Wraith at every turn,
it wiII onIy prove our innocence.
Have you discussed this with TeyIa?
TeyIa has made her decision.
I understand you're not coming with us.
Dr Weir has arranged for communications between AtIantis and the mainIand.
ShouId you ever need assistance...
Thank her for us.
I hope... I don't want anyone to beIieve that I'm...
TeyIa.
The time has come.
Go safeIy.
And you.
I've never been separated from my peopIe before.
It must be hard, but you know you'II see them again.
Do you doubt you wiII one day return to Earth?
I can't afford to have doubts.
You mean you cannot afford to Iet them show.
You're stiII a Ieader, TeyIa.
You're doing this for your peopIe and for their future.
They know that.
Anxious to step through the gate again?
- Yes, I am. - We aII are.
- Like us to bring back anything? - No.
- Groceries? A new outfit? - No, just yourseIves in one piece, pIease.
- DiaI it up. - (gate revs up)
Be safe.
WeII, good stuff?
I can't begin to teII you how fascinating this is.
AnthropoIogist fascinating or actuaI fascinating?
Maybe fascinating isn't the right word.
Maybe not. How much Ionger?
We'II probabIy need to come back. There's just so much here.
I can see that. Is there any way to speed things up?
Sure. Find me someone to transIate some of the runes.
- Did you say there were natives here? - They are very shy.
They've probabIy gone into hiding.
Can you coax them out, have them give us a hand?
It is unIikeIy, but I couId try.
Lieutenant, go with her.
- It wouId be better if I went aIone. - You wiII be aIone. With Ford.
(Teyla shouts in foreign language)
(Teyla continues shouting)
Maybe they're not around.
They are near, but you are a stranger to them.
They wiII not come out if you are with me.
They are not a dangerous peopIe, Lieutenant. I wiII be fine.
AII right. I'II wait here.
(calls out in foreign language)
CaII me on the radio if you need me.
(whooshing)
Wraith! Get back to the gate now!
(gunfire)
TeyIa!
Major, what's the situation?
We're taking fire. You'II have to circIe around to get back to the gate.
- TeyIa's not with me. She went to... - Find her. Get back.
Move out!
Argh!
(gunfire)
Yamato! McKay! Grab the major.
- What about TeyIa and Ford? - Now!
(Stackhouse) Shut it down. They're right behind us.
OK. On three. One, two, three.
- We have to go back. - TeyIa? Lieutenant Ford?
- StiII there. - You have Wraith aII over the gate.
We can't just Ieave them there.
- How many? - It's hard to say.
We need to mount a rescue operation.
I am not gonna send anyone through that gate untiI I have aII the facts.
How did TeyIa and Ford get separated?
They went to make contact with the natives.
- And whose idea was that? - Mine. She was foIIowing my orders.
- ShouIdn't you be back in the infirmary? - No, I'm fine. I didn't take a fuII bIast.
- Why didn't you go with them, Major? - The natives are easiIy spooked.
TeyIa thought we'd scare 'em off.
- TeyIa did. - What's that, Sergeant?
She was absent during the ambush.
- So was Ford. Maybe it was him. - I'm just stating a fact.
Sergeant, I am onIy gonna say this once.
With aII due respect, reprimand me if you wish,
but it's been six times your team's been compromised.
OnIy one Athosian knew about this Iast mission.
- (Stargate alarm) - UnscheduIed offworId activation.
It's TeyIa's IDC. Receiving a radio transmission.
This is Teyla. Lieutenant Ford has been wounded.
The Wraith are closing in on our position.
Put down that shieId and we couId have a Wraith attack.
Atlantis, please let us through.
Lieutenant, can you confirm the situation?
He is unconscious. Our situation grows desperate.
We have no choice but to go through the Stargate.
Who knows what she'II bring through that gate with her.
Open up the damn gate!
Lower the shieId.
If she were heIping the Wraith, why bother bringing Ford back?
In fact, why bother coming back at aII?
She's of more use to them in AtIantis. As for apparentIy rescuing Ford...
She carried him through the damn gate!
- We stiII don't know what happened. - Oh, that's enough.
- It's my job to express concerns. - I've heard enough.
I beIieve you're putting your personaI feeIings...
You're dismissed.
Yes, sir.
- What? - I put him in charge of security.
Yes, you did, and if you want to dismiss me, go ahead.
Why don't you go and see how Lieutenant Ford is doing?
You want me to go through her stuff?
We're Iooking for weapons, transmitters, recording devices.
Anything beyond the Athosians' IeveI of technoIogy.
And then we move on to a strip search?
Just do it.
We were on our way back when we came under fire. Didn't even see them.
We returned fire then broke for the gate. I was hit from behind.
- She saved my ass. - Of course she did.
Major... Ford, how are you feeIing? Pins and needIes aII over?
WeIcome to the cIub.
No, I managed to dive out of the way of the stunner bIast.
- I hit my head on the way down. - Hit your head?
Major, I need you to see something.
I'II be fine.
- What the heII is this? - It was a request from Sergeant Bates.
I'm gonna bust him. TeyIa has nothing to do with this.
The thing is, he was right.
- Bates was right? - I was as surprised as you are. Look.
It's her Iocket. It's a transmitter. It's been broadcasting a signaI.
- I wouIdn't even have noticed... - I found it.
- What? - Back on her pIanet the first time we met.
TeyIa took me to the oId ruins. That was haIf-buried in dirt. I gave it to her.
I Iost this years ago.
The Iocket isn't powerfuI enough to send a signaI far through subspace.
My guess is there are reIay devices on certain pIanets
that pick up the transmission and aIert a hive ship.
- The pIanets where we were attacked. - We owe a few peopIe an apoIogy.
TeyIa had no idea she was giving away your position?
It was a present from her father. She Iost it when she was a kid.
It was dormant untiI Major Sheppard picked it up.
How come they weren't attacked back then?
- I said it was dormant. - But if it was activated by touch?
You're not Iistening. I said Major Sheppard activated it.
To the Wraith, TeyIa is just another human being.
They have no interest in her. Now, Major Sheppard...
- Has the Ancient gene. - ExactIy.
At one point the Wraiths and the Ancients were at war.
The Wraiths made a device to detect Ancients.
Some Athosian thought this wouId make a nice IittIe neckIace?
How couId I know that? What am I, Answer Man?
It wasn't TeyIa. Or any other Athosian, for that matter.
If that's the case...
we can use it against 'em.
- You seem nervous. - No, I'm doing this.
Yes, you are. I just said you seemed nervous.
I thought you said, ''You don't have to do this.''
I'm doing this, despite the fact that feeIing hasn't returned to my extremities.
- You're Iate. - Sorry.
Now, given the Wraiths' regenerative abiIities,
kiIIing one requires some amount of effort.
Capturing one Iive is another deaI.
For these options to work, your Wraith must be on the ground.
The ruins around the Stargate shouId force the Wraith to come through on foot.
In which case... you'II be abIe to use these.
This is a stun grenade.
It contains aIuminium and potassium perchIorate
that, when ignited, produces a high-pressure wave
that wiII overwheIm the target with intense Iight and sound.
If that doesn't get his head ringing, in addition... you've got your taser.
(Ford) With a range of 1 5 to 20 feet,
it delivers a high-voltage charge
that limits the body's electrical signals, temporarily paralysing the victim.
(on radio) MaJor, this is Ford.
What you got, Lieutenant?
We got company.
Four of them.
- AII right, then. We go as pIanned. - Yes, sir.
- You stiII seem nervous... - No, no. It's good. AII good.
TeyIa.
(Stackhouse) This one's ours, boys. Tasers!
SeIf-destruct. Take cover!
Major! Dr McKay!
- You OK? - I'm fine. This is... This is fun for me.
Easy. Don't go bIowing yourseIf up.
TeyIa. Excuse me.
I hoped to catch you before you headed back to the mainIand.
- I hear they're doing weII. - Very weII.
HaIIing says they're pIanting crops for the next harvest.
- I'm gIad to hear it. - I wiII teII them what has happened.
HopefuIIy we wiII be abIe to put the past week's events behind us.
Yes. I am aware that the Iast few days have been particuIarIy difficuIt for you.
I beIieve, Dr Weir, that in your pIace I wouId have done the same.
Thank you.
Again? Your kind is persistent.
I wouId have thought you'd given up by now.
HeII, I've got aII the time in the worId. Now, you, on the other hand...
The Ancients were pretty good at shieIds, weren't they?
(grunts)
I give you a week. Maybe two, tops.
You waste your time. I wiII provide you with no information.
I wonder what hurts more: the gunshot wound or the hunger?
Because I'd Iove to heIp out, but how did McKay put it?
We can't meet your dietary requirements.
When I am free, you wiII be the first that I feed upon.
Okey-dokey.
I'm gonna go make myseIf a sandwich.
Human.
You think you've won a victory by my capture,
but by bringing me here you've onIy hastened your own doom.
It's onIy a matter of time before the others of my kind come to rescue me,
and when they do, there'II be nowhere in this worId you can hide.
Stay positive, now.
