{145}{220}Reliable power generation is one|of our greatest concerns.
{221}{290}With this project, we hope, soon, to be able to convert
{291}{375}and utilize the intense heat trapped|beneath the surface of our planet.
{376}{417}Geothermal energy.
{435}{470}What, using this?!
{480}{540}Do you have any idea how complex geo-thermal...
{541}{565}McKay...
{600}{644}It's gonna work like a charm.
{645}{716}Looks like you're accomplishing|great things here, Chancellor.
{730}{766}Since the last Wraith culling
{768}{824}we have worked diligently to rebuild our society.
{828}{907}Are you not concerned that your efforts|will attract the attention of the Wraith?
{909}{924}Yes...
{929}{1017}but we refuse to let that stop us|from striving to reach our potential.
{1018}{1088}To do otherwise would simply mean victory for them.
{1092}{1180}However, we currently are working on a viable defence.
{1200}{1240}Defence?
{1260}{1300}Really?
{1318}{1393}We've been here for two days before you mention that?
{1395}{1461}I had to learn that you could be trusted.
{1465}{1522}You're talking about some sort of defensive weapon?
{1525}{1560}You could call it that.
{1561}{1638}Something that we hope will protect us|from the next Wraith culling.
{1639}{1671}So you are expecting it to happen again?
{1679}{1699}Of course.
{1710}{1766}But if the Wraith return as they have historically,
{1767}{1826}they won't be here for at least another fifty years.
{1829}{1878}Fifty years, you say.
{1930}{1963}How about that weapon?
{1964}{2014}Yes, yes if you'll just come this way.
{2044}{2117}You haven't told them that we practically|woke the Wraith from hibernation, have you?
{2119}{2183}Well... I really haven't had the chance
{2186}{2215}We've been here two days!
{2217}{2254}One and a half, really.
{2256}{2334}Major, they're not expecting|the Wraith for another fifty years.
{2345}{2390}We have to let them know|they could show up at any time now.
{2391}{2446}If you're so eager, why don't you tell them!
{2525}{2578}Reminds you of Area 51, doesn't it?
{2579}{2616}Circa 1918.
{2617}{2675}I don't think Area 51 was around in 1918, sir.
{2676}{2720}- Well, the area was.|- True!
{2725}{2780}I don't think there's a hope in hell|these people could have a weapon that...
{2781}{2861}Weapons come in all shapes and sizes, Lieutenant.
{2941}{3016}Major Sheppard, I think you'll find this intriguing.
{3098}{3173}OK, I'm intrigued.
{3203}{3230}What is it?
{3235}{3346}Something that we hope will one day make|us completely immune to the Wraith.

{4759}{4894}Season 1 : Episode 7|Poisoning the well 
{5045}{5087}According to Chancellor Druhin the drug is still
{5088}{5127}several years away from being finished.
{5130}{5190}I'd say, given their current level|of technology, that, er,
{5191}{5224}could be an under-statement.
{5225}{5295}Just because they believe they're close to|a breakthrough, it doesn't mean that they are.
{5300}{5367}You saw for yourself their entire civilisation is
{5368}{5423}based upon the completion of that goal, Doctor McKay.
{5436}{5482}I would not under estimate them.
{5484}{5566}Do we even know for certain that|the Wraith are an immediate threat?
{5572}{5637}We can probably bet they don't have fifty years.
{5639}{5730}Hence Major Sheppard has generously|offered our help to the Hoffans.
{5750}{5775}Has he?
{5810}{5829}Look,
{5853}{5909}the fact is, if they're onto something,
{5909}{5974}maybe we can speed up the process.
{6005}{6038}OK, Major, you have a go.
{6051}{6104}But if the drug really is just a pipe dream...
{6108}{6163}Our Doctor Beckett's already volunteered|to help us find that out.
{6164}{6200}Oh, he has, huh?
{6227}{6266}He will.
{6345}{6390}It's not that I mind lending people a hand...
{6393}{6451}- No, of course not.|- You're a generous man, Carson.
{6452}{6493}but it's the principle of the thing, isn't it?
{6495}{6577}You can't go volunteering someone|for something without consulting them first.
{6584}{6618}That's not even volunteering, is it?
{6619}{6675}It's being pressed into service.
{6680}{6720}Not to mention the fact that I'm not...
{6721}{6747}not military, I can't give you orders.
{6748}{6768}I know.
{6769}{6823}Nonononono, he just doesn't like|going through the Stargate.
{6825}{6865}He's worse than Doctor McCoy.
{6869}{6893}Who?
{6894}{6973}The TV character that|Doctor Beckett plays in real life.
{6975}{7016}Converting a human body into energy
{7019}{7097}and sending it millions of light years|through a wormhole bloody insanity.
{7100}{7155}C'mon, how often do you get|to travel to an alien planet?
{7156}{7202}I was already on an alien planet!
{7354}{7396}Should you be messing with that stuff?
{7397}{7441}I know what I'm doing, Major, thank you.
{7443}{7527}From the looks of things they've mastered|a few basics biochemistry, physiology,
{7529}{7587}perhaps even some form of molecular biology.
{7589}{7660}- Fairly impressive considering...|- It is our people's legacy.
{7666}{7745}This room represents hundreds|of years of medical knowledge.
{7748}{7833}I am Perna, chief scientist for the project.
{7834}{7854}John Sheppard.
{7873}{7952}Uh, and this is Teyla, and Lieutenant Ford...
{7953}{7967}Carson.
{7975}{8000}Beckett.
{8011}{8017}Doctor.
{8018}{8066}I mean, call me Carson.
{8076}{8136}I'm, uh, Doctor McKay, Doctor Rodney McKay.
{8249}{8303}I hope you will find our facilities suitable.
{8304}{8337}Oh, they're charming!
{8344}{8392}Perfectly charming!
{8442}{8521}Long ago, this city was once|a testament to our imagination,
{8525}{8602}our creative spirit, to endless possibility.
{8604}{8635}How long ago was that?
{8637}{8678}It is true that we have been forced
{8679}{8705}to rebuild many times and
{8706}{8734}never to our potential.
{8735}{8801}That is why perfecting the drug is so important.
{8806}{8891}It is more than just a defence|against the Wraith it is our future.
{8900}{9001}With respect, Chancellor, you cannot|prevent the culling it is a fact of existence.
{9002}{9034}A fact we challenge.
{9038}{9123}We will always search for a way|to end the cycle of destruction.
{9126}{9204}The Wraith will always prevent|any race from advancing too far.
{9206}{9257}You figure you can beat 'em?
{9258}{9309}Yes, through knowledge.
{9740}{9825}A number of archives like this one|are hidden throughout the city.
{9826}{9878}Their existence is known only to a few.
{9895}{9909}This is...
{9932}{9950}very...
{9959}{9986}impressive.
{9994}{10078}We meticulously preserve|the accomplishments of each generation
{10081}{10133}before they are wiped out by the Wraith.
{10147}{10202}So everything your people ever learned is in here?
{10205}{10265}And in other archives identical to this one.
{10267}{10292}In case they destroy one.
{10313}{10351}You guys are serious about this.
{10357}{10420}Standing on the shoulders of our forefathers.
{10422}{10483}How long have you been working on this Wraith drug?
{10484}{10520}One hundred and fifty years ago, 
{10520}{10602}our scientists were close to|creating a viable prototype,
{10604}{10657}only to die before seeing its fruition.
{10660}{10708}So you're hoping that, if this world's no good to them,
{10708}{10749}they're just gonna move on?
{10753}{10825}The Wraith cannot possibly perceive us as a threat.
{10827}{10912}Y'know, to tell you the truth,|I don't know how they would react.
{10914}{11022}If they choose to wipe you|out of existence, you will be helpless.
{11024}{11076}We cannot hope to control their actions.
{11078}{11108}We can only do what we can
{11108}{11201}to end the cycle that has gone on for far too long.
{11250}{11315}His name was Ferrel Mylan.
{11316}{11363}Before he died in the last culling,
{11363}{11438}he was one of our most celebrated medical researchers.
{11440}{11484}He was the one who found it.
{11486}{11512}Found what?
{11514}{11533}The key.
{11549}{11650}His journals tell of one man who|survived an encounter with the Wraith.
{11657}{11750}Ferrel Mylan's team discovered that|this man possessed a unique protein,
{11758}{11830}one that enabled him to resist the|chemical released by the Wraith 
{11830}{11880}to precipitate draining of life from their victims
{11882}{11960}After painstaking trial and error...
{11962}{12003}Ferrel made a copy of the protein.
{12025}{12111}He was eventually able to create a prototype of a drug 
{12111}{12173}designed to interfere with the Wraith feeding process.
{12176}{12205}And it worked?
{12222}{12308}Ferrel was killed before|the drug could be used to defend Hoff.
{12314}{12339}And it's been your job
{12360}{12419}to make certain his work wasn't in vain.
{12425}{12469}Quite the responsibility.
{12472}{12512}It is a great honour.
{12562}{12694}How do you know for certain that this|Ferrel wasn't just embellishing his results,
{12697}{12726}or for that matter making them up?
{12726}{12769}I mean, all you have to go on are his notes.
{12772}{12845}He and his team worked until the last possible moment.
{12847}{12892}They knew the Wraith ships were overhead
{12892}{12945}and still they worked through the night,
{12948}{13001}hoping to provide one more insight,
{13002}{13075}one last thread of knowledge not for themselves
{13077}{13159}but for the generation that would survive.
{13266}{13366}Ten thousand soldiers gave their lives|to give them those last few hours.
{13387}{13477}The last words of Ferrel's journal|are known to all Hoffans.
{13517}{13576}I meant no disrespect, Perna.
{13616}{13645}It's alright.
{13680}{13740}More than just his journals survived the culling.
{13748}{13829}His research materials were safeguarded as well,
{13867}{13987}including carefully preserved Wraith cell samples
{13987}{14052}which we still use in our work today.
{14071}{14088}Please.
{14201}{14230}See for yourself.
{14472}{14493}Oh!
{14553}{14584}That's incredible!
{14775}{14821}I saw it with my own eyes, Doctor Weir.
{14823}{14846}Yes, in a Petri dish,
{14846}{14924}and we are talking about|a hundred and fifty year old Wraith cells.
{14929}{14977}I mean, for all we know, they could be immune to|the drug by now,
{14977}{15011}or come up with defences against it.
{15013}{15045}Well, I don't think so, Doctor.
{15048}{15099}I took the liberty of running a few tests of my own
{15100}{15118}using cells taken
{15121}{15196}from the Wraith arm|Major Sheppard brought back from Athos.
{15202}{15222}The results were the same...
{15222}{15278}near complete resistance.
{15295}{15330}They've definitely got something.
{15331}{15369}Believe me, I'm more surprised than anyone.
{15370}{15397}So what do you recommend?
{15430}{15487}That we take their work to the next level.
{15489}{15563}I've informed the Hoffans of our guest in the brig.
{15581}{15630}You realise what you're asking for?
{15639}{15672}I do.
{15870}{15915}Anything I should know about, Sergeant?
{15916}{15953}No, sir, he's been quiet.
{15967}{16006}Still trying to make you see things?
{16007}{16041}He's given up on that.
{16066}{16111}I didn't think he'd last this long.
{16377}{16436}Hello again, Major Sheppard.
{16541}{16594}Sorry if I woke you.
{16601}{16662}Just came by to see if there's anything you needed.
{16675}{16720}Magazine, fresh towels.
{16740}{16817}You hide your fear poorly, Major.
{16830}{16898}Y'know, we've been having these conversations|for a couple of weeks now,
{16898}{16955}and I don't even know your name.
{16970}{17002}You guys do have names, right?
{17028}{17050}Let me guess...
{17085}{17109}Steve?
{17115}{17145}I am your death.
{17159}{17218}That is all you need to know.
{17230}{17276}I prefer Steve.
{17410}{17454}What do you hope to gain from this?
{17459}{17570}Just trying to bridge the gap between|our two cultures; get to know you better.
{17590}{17635}That and try to figure out how to keep your kind
{17635}{17710}from sucking the life|out of millions of innocent people.
{17711}{17773}Even if I told you what you want to know,
{17780}{17845}it would change nothing.
{17847}{17973}You are doomed as are any humans that stand in our way.
{17976}{18029}Can't be a nice way to die?
{18043}{18062}Hungry,
{18074}{18098}slow,
{18127}{18214}knowing your food source is just...
{18219}{18265}out of reach.
{18295}{18329}Why do you keep me here?
{18331}{18382}I need to know what we're up against.
{18385}{18407}For example,
{18423}{18501}how many of those big hive ships|have you got and where are they?
{18504}{18562}You have nothing to offer me in return.
{18619}{18718}We could talk about easing your hunger...
{18733}{18779}Steve.
{18790}{18863}You would never sacrifice one of your own kind.
{18891}{18965}And yet, it is all that stands between
{18966}{19048}you and the information you seek.
{19319}{19405}Using living Wraith cells|is our only recourse at this juncture.
{19411}{19501}Without them we have no way of knowing|for certain if the drug is actually viable.
{19503}{19555}You said it worked effectively on the cells
{19555}{19600}of the severed Wraith arm we brought back.
{19602}{19611}It did.
{19628}{19705}But those were already in a partially decayed state.
{19716}{19761}We need live samples.
{19764}{19797}And with new samples
{19797}{19852}you think it's possible to create a prototype?
{19865}{19907}Given enough time, yes I do.
{19908}{19962}He's got a good point|the Hoffans are practically obsessed.
{19963}{19986}Thank you, Rodney.
{19987}{20005}I agree, Doctor.
{20013}{20079}But their obsession may become their undoing.
{20084}{20161}Well, even if they do... undo, it'd be good for us.
{20164}{20213}I mean, given the choice, wouldn't you want to be immune?
{20217}{20288}Not if it meant the lives|the Wraith might otherwise spare.
{20309}{20409}This drug would only be of value if everyone,
{20409}{20469}everywhere, possessed the same immunity.
{20477}{20537}There's a thought worth pursuing.
{20546}{20559}I agree.
{20582}{20657}Major, have you made any progress with your prisoner?
{20660}{20716}Well, not yet, but he just blinked.
{20732}{20751}He blinked?
{20754}{20785}What does that mean?
{20796}{20839}It means he's still holding on
{20839}{20900}but he's indicated to me that he may break soon.
{20903}{20934}And he indicated this to you by...
{20934}{20964}blinking?
{20968}{20992}Yes.
{21011}{21085}No offence, Major,|but so far he hasn't told you a thing.
{21086}{21120}For all we know he could linger
{21121}{21164}this way for months and ultimately
{21170}{21215}we'll learn nothing.
{21216}{21280}The Wraith could be on their way to Hoff as we speak.
{21281}{21370}If your prisoner holds the key|to the creation of this drug,
{21392}{21444}should we not take advantage of this?
{21445}{21511}How can we get the sample off him safely?
{21512}{21572}We still possess the weapons used in his capture.
{21573}{21651}It would be a simple matter of incapacitating him again.
{21659}{21681}So, then, it's possible?
{21688}{21725}It's possible.
{21944}{21975}Hi, Steve.
{22010}{22044}Bye, Steve.
{22350}{22382}Doctor.
{22410}{22437}Is he...
{22460}{22489}I mean, you're certain he's...
{22491}{22511}He's down, Doc.
{22523}{22551}Do your thing.
{22729}{22767}Almost looks peaceful, doesn't he?
{22770}{22785}Peaceful?!
{22794}{22845}You're out of your bloody mind!
{23147}{23211}I have never seen devices such as these!
{23222}{23252}The work you've done refining
{23252}{23296}the drug has been good up til now.
{23299}{23381}With all this we can make it better.
{23425}{23448}From what I can tell,
{23448}{23514}your biggest problem is that the test inoculations
{23517}{23547}failed to show enough of a presence
{23547}{23600}in human cells to be effective.
{23602}{23645}What we need is a better delivery system.
{23646}{23663}Exactly.
{23663}{23732}And the best place to start|is to recreate the key protein
{23734}{23786}in the serum and work our way up from there.
{23788}{23804}If we can avoid having
{23804}{23848}to re-engineer it from a natural source,
{23850}{23915}and make an entirely synthetic version,
{23915}{23976}it should ultimately increase the efficiency.
{23980}{24012}Such a thing is possible?
{24015}{24092}Anything's possible if you're willing to give it a go.
{24120}{24185}C'mon then, a bald head is soon shaved.
{24222}{24274}You speak differently than the others.
{24307}{24355}Noticed that, did you?!
{24365}{24397}Sorry if I confuse you.
{24397}{24492}Trust me, where I come from,|it all makes perfect sense.
{24495}{24522}What is it like?
{24525}{24583}Scotland? Oh, I think it's beautiful.
{24597}{24655}But I'm told it's something of an acquired taste.
{24658}{24680}I meant your world.
{24697}{24738}It must be so peaceful there,
{24739}{24777}knowing that the Wraith will not come.
{24780}{24844}Oh, you'd be surprised how not peaceful it is.
{24894}{24962}We're spoiled rotten, now that I think of it.
{24994}{25009}You miss it.
{25010}{25055}I'm sorry for enquiring.
{25057}{25106}Oh, no, no. Don't be, love.
{27354}{27379}Perna!
{27772}{27813}One hundred percent cellular penetration
{27814}{27855}in all five test inoculations.
{27856}{27876}Incredible!
{27879}{27918}There's still a lot of data to be analysed
{27918}{27983}but the initial results are very promising, I agree.
{27986}{28075}Doctor Beckett's efforts|have advanced the project by decades.
{28080}{28128}Perna's formula was right on track.
{28131}{28191}It was just a matter of changing its molecular design
{28191}{28245}so it could be better absorbed by the body.
{28254}{28315}This is an enormous victory for our people, Doctor.
{28317}{28350}I don't know how to thank you.
{28353}{28369}No need.
{28370}{28433}Of course, it's only a preliminary.
{28446}{28510}How soon until you can set up the next stage of testing?
{28513}{28573}You'll have a schedule later today, Chancellor.
{28603}{28650}I'm sorry next stage?
{28653}{28689}Your report makes it abundantly clear that
{28689}{28762}the project is ready to proceed to its next phase.
{28766}{28846}We want to test the serum's|effectiveness against your prisoner.
{29047}{29087}And you support this?
{29090}{29130}Well, I know for certain he's gonna die
{29131}{29167}so we might as well make good use of him
{29168}{29204}while he's still alive.
{29207}{29258}You do understand the Geneva Convention
{29258}{29350}prohibits using prisoners for scientific experiments?
{29351}{29393}No offence, Doc, but had the Wraith
{29394}{29445}attended the Geneva Convention,
{29448}{29508}they would have tried to feed on everyone there.
{29546}{29613}Beckett's report indicates that we have no idea
{29615}{29674}what the long-term effect|of this drug on humans might be.
{29675}{29707}Well, we know damn well what
{29708}{29761}the long-term effects of Wraith culling are, don't we?
{29764}{29798}We're talking about putting a human being
{29798}{29863}in the same room as a starving Wraith.
{29878}{29917}Now once we start down that road...
{29920}{29976}Which road did you think we were headed down?
{29977}{29999}Not this one.
{30025}{30075}At least not this fast.
{30096}{30195}Having spent time with the prisoner, I don't pity him.
{30199}{30250}He's gonna die anyway.
{30320}{30375}This drug could be useful some day.
{30378}{30411}Some day.
{30418}{30504}The point is, we don't get|a lot of opportunities like this.
{30510}{30560}Do you know how obsessed with this the Hoffans are
{30560}{30630}when they found out we had a live Wraith prisoner?
{30655}{30715}He's going to die.
{30727}{30763}I've tried to feed him all sorts of life stuff
{30763}{30826}but apparently there's only one item on his menu.
{30846}{30868}What about the test subject?
{30886}{30918}If the drug fails...
{30921}{30972}We're not just grabbing anybody off the street.
{30976}{31035}The test subject is a terminally ill
{31036}{31085}patient who has volunteered himself.
{31126}{31179}These are not exactly the type of decisions
{31179}{31250}I was expecting to make on this expedition.
{31539}{31567}Do it.
{31884}{31912}Hi, Steve.
{31934}{31980}More samples?
{31982}{32049}I was thinking more along the lines of a field trip.
{32056}{32082}You want sustenance?
{32100}{32144}I want information.
{32204}{32290}You are incapable of offering such a trade.
{32308}{32419}You tell me something of value, I let you eat.
{32424}{32447}That's the deal.
{32450}{32508}Take it or leave it.
{32606}{32643}Very well.
{32877}{32912}Are they ready?
{32922}{33010}Major Sheppard and Lieutenant Ford|are loading the prisoner into Jumper Two.
{33010}{33058}Sergeant bates is already on the ground
{33059}{33156}and standing by for their arrival|at the rendezvous site.
{33590}{33618}Jumper Two, this is Weir.
{33620}{33645}What's your status?
{33646}{33664}Nice and cosy in here.
{33665}{33709}We're ready to depart.
{33710}{33739}Be safe, Major.
{33748}{33780}That's the plan.
{33787}{33833}Jumper Two, you are go for launch.
{33834}{33862}Roger that.
{33894}{33928}Dial it up.
{34077}{34132}Hey, man, this isn't supposed to be fun.
{34626}{34687}Perna explained to me about your illness.
{34706}{34762}I want you to know how sorry I am.
{34783}{34837}I wish there was something I could do for you.
{34853}{34884}It's my time, Doctor Beckett.
{34907}{34959}I'm at peace with my fate.
{34985}{35031}I think it's important you know
{35035}{35121}that we may be talking about a|less than peaceful ending here.
{35124}{35214}I have explained to Merell in|great detail what may befall him.
{35258}{35332}You should also understand|that this drug has never worked
{35334}{35397}in anything other than a laboratory simulation.
{35411}{35463}We don't know for certain what will happen.
{35489}{35524}Even if it doesn't work,
{35547}{35577}you'll learn something of value
{35629}{35678}how to perfect it in the future?
{35699}{35810}Possibly, but that's no reason|for you to face that creature.
{35849}{35905}Doctor Beckett, I'm not afraid.
{35933}{36002}No matter what happens, my death will have meaning.
{36045}{36089}Is that not something we all strive for,
{36092}{36140}to die knowing we made a difference?
{36183}{36223}I want to do this.
{36248}{36318}Please don't deny me the chance to help my people.
{36553}{36583}What do you think?
{36589}{36635}That it goes against everything I believe in.
{36639}{36715}There's an oath among medical people where I come from.
{36718}{36765}It begins, First, do no harm.
{36781}{36860}- Important words to you.|- More than words, Perna.
{36888}{36965}The battle rages at the very|threshold of our laboratory now.
{36977}{37025}Those of us working to the last know
{37026}{37086}that these few final hours have been dearly purchased,
{37088}{37155}yet our concentration has not waned.
{37170}{37216}We cannot hope to save ourselves
{37217}{37285}but we can hope that one last insight,
{37287}{37362}one last revelation before we take our dying breaths,
{37365}{37461}may prevent this terrible day from happening again.
{37468}{37520}Ferrel's last journal entry.
{37535}{37585}More than words, Carson.
{37591}{37611}I understand that.
{37620}{37633}I do.
{37637}{37672}But there are too many unknowns.
{37674}{37709}We need time to determine the possible side-effects...
{37711}{37737}There is no time!
{37756}{37805}Are you so afraid of making a mistake
{37807}{37869}that you can no longer see what we're up against?
{37872}{37935}This isn't about making mistakes Perna,
{37936}{37995}it's about the end justifying the means,
{38001}{38069}and in our profession that's a very slippery slope.
{38111}{38161}We have no idea if this'll work.
{38173}{38243}We could be sacrificing that man to a monster.
{38258}{38313}There will be another to take his place.
{38358}{38403}That's just what I'm afraid of.
{38570}{38600}They are ready.
{38711}{38746}Careful, sir.
{39031}{39100}This is the sustenance you promised?
{39101}{39163}Little change in plans.
{39179}{39293}You tell me something right now,|or the damned party's cancelled.
{39298}{39333}What do you want to know?
{39341}{39390}How many hive ships have become operational
{39391}{39440}since we awakened the first one?
{39444}{39495}All of them, Major Sheppard.
{39502}{39622}First, they will travel to their own|feeding grounds and gather strength.
{39637}{39691}We are a patient race, Major.
{39711}{39795}When we have taken our fill and gathered our strength,
{39803}{39891}we will join force and come for you.
{39893}{39936}D'you have any idea when that'll be?
{39942}{39956}Morning?
{39957}{39995}Afternoon?
{40082}{40109}Open it up.
{40406}{40448}You don't have to do this.
{40482}{40494}I know.
{40563}{40594}I'm ready.
{41258}{41300}He is weak.
{42453}{42513}You are both heroes of the Hoffan people.
{42525}{42569}I'll admit, it was amazing.
{42583}{42622}I hope your friends will join us for
{42623}{42667}a celebratory banquet to honour your work.
{42676}{42704}We'll be glad to attend, but don't you
{42705}{42757}think celebrations are a bit premature?
{42762}{42812}The results speak for themselves.
{42818}{42864}I intend to ask the Council to approve
{42865}{42919}mass production of the serum, effective immediately.
{42921}{42994}After what happened today,|I doubt they will offer any resistance.
{42996}{43039}That is wonderful news, Chancellor.
{43041}{43080}With all due respect, no it isn't.
{43090}{43137}We're talking about one test here.
{43149}{43207}Now I'm as pleased as anyone with the results
{43212}{43245}but we still have a lot of work to do
{43246}{43285}before we can start using it.
{43290}{43373}Doctor Beckett wishes to run a full series of tests
{43376}{43445}on Merell prior to issuing his final report.
{43448}{43477}There may have been mitigating circumstances
{43478}{43524}the man was dying, for one.
{43567}{43580}Of course.
{43590}{43622}I'll bring it up with Council.
{43646}{43687}To success.
{43779}{43798}What is it?
{43801}{43848}It's Steve he doesn't look so good.
{43919}{43958}How long has he been like this?
{43969}{43995}Since the test.
{43996}{44026}Think it's a ruse?
{44030}{44067}It is not their way.
{44212}{44227}Hey.
{44280}{44318}What have you done to me?
{44732}{44766}We need Beckett in here.
{44767}{44792}Go.
{44963}{44998}We're gonna help you.
{45067}{45113}Don't feel pity for me.
{45152}{45237}You will suffer far worse when the others come for you.
{45802}{45817}Major.
{45837}{45882}I was just about to cut him open.
{45893}{45943}Then, I was just leaving.
{45951}{46035}I've already done a series of tests|you might like to know the results of.
{46047}{46078}You know what killed him?
{46081}{46121}I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say
{46124}{46209}that it was all of his vital organs|shutting down almost simultaneously.
{46215}{46247}Did he starve to death?
{46250}{46265}No.
{46266}{46311}Based on the condition his body's in,
{46314}{46361}I don't think he died from a lack of nourishment.
{46362}{46390}Well, then, what was it?
{46391}{46438}Initial tests revealed a significant amount
{46439}{46482}of Hoffan serum in his bloodstream.
{46487}{46546}I'm guessing we'll find similar trace amounts
{46549}{46605}in each of his organs once we analyse those as well.
{46607}{46672}Why did the Hoffan drug end up in his blood?
{46677}{46715}From the Hoffans' research,
{46716}{46758}we know that when the Wraith feed,
{46760}{46821}they release a chemical into their victims' bodies.
{46825}{46887}What it actually does, we don't yet understand,
{46895}{46958}but I can only assume that it prepares the human body
{46960}{47019}in some way to be drained of life.
{47020}{47060}The serum is designed
{47061}{47138}to shield the victim from that|initial chemical release, blocking it.
{47145}{47168}OK.
{47188}{47245}I think the serum protein may have mutated
{47246}{47279}when it was exposed to the Wraith chemical,
{47280}{47335}triggering some sort of toxic reaction.
{47335}{47371}So instead of feeding off of him...
{47373}{47418}... he was poisoned.
{47445}{47490}So if the serum did this,
{47491}{47560}then it's more than just a defence against the Wraith.
{47582}{47620}It kills 'em.
{47655}{47705}I fail to see cause for alarm, Major.
{47706}{47794}If anything, this development dramatically|increases the value of the serum.
{47797}{47839}No it just takes away any doubt
{47841}{47903}about what the Wraith'll do|when they eventually come here.
{47920}{47958}I fail to see the difference.
{47962}{48014}Once they learn you possess a weapon such as this,
{48016}{48125}the Wraith will wipe your people from|existence in retaliation for the Wraith deaths.
{48128}{48213}Or they may simply leave us|alone once they learn we are...
{48225}{48253}unpalatable.
{48255}{48338}Cos they're such an easy-going|live-and-let-live kind of race.
{48345}{48376}Y'know, maybe there was half a chance
{48377}{48403}of that when you were talking
{48404}{48442}about this being defensive, but now...
{48443}{48495}You fail to see the larger picture, Major.
{48496}{48533}For the first time we have a way to not
{48534}{48593}just defend ourselves but to strike back.
{48594}{48655}Is this about revenge, or saving your people?
{48709}{48783}You can't hope to understand|the generations of suffering...
{48785}{48856}I've been in one of their hives and|I've fought against their ships and,
{48858}{48940}trust me, when the first Wraith|dies because of this drug,
{48942}{48980}they're not gonna simply move on.
{48983}{49033}They're gonna make their problem go away.
{49036}{49075}Once your world has been destroyed,
{49078}{49137}they will seek out any who have had contact with you.
{49139}{49175}They will spare no-one.
{49178}{49219}Listen, I know how passionate you are about this
{49220}{49274}this drug is sort of your Holy Grail, but...
{49285}{49362}You're gonna have to shelve it|till we get a better idea...
{49365}{49387}No, no.
{49390}{49497}I'm serious otherwise we can't help you any more.
{49501}{49567}You don't understand, Major, it's too late.
{49586}{49663}I have made my recommendation|to the Council and they've agreed.
{49684}{49759}We have already begun inoculating our people.
{50208}{50240}You are leaving?
{50277}{50316}Unless you're willing to go back to formal work
{50318}{50358}on the serum there's no point my staying, is there?
{50359}{50416}- Carson|- Perna, you need to re-open the project.
{50420}{50435}With more work,
{50436}{50476}maybe you could prevent the mutation
{50478}{50523}maintain it as a defensive drug only.
{50526}{50544}Merell is dead.
{50590}{50620}They found him this morning.
{50622}{50669}The cause of death is still to be determined.
{50670}{50718}There's still time they need to stop the inoculations.
{50719}{50759}- They won't.|- A man is dead.
{50760}{50820}Which doesn't necessarily mean more will follow.
{50873}{50986}Even if I wanted to, I couldn't make|them stop, not without more proof.
{51029}{51131}Perna you're one of the brightest people I've ever met.
{51141}{51218}For your own sake, I beg you,
{51237}{51277}have no more part in this,
{51297}{51345}at least  until we know more.
{51408}{51445}I can't do that.
{51446}{51471}Why not?
{51472}{51540}Because I was among the first to be inoculated.
{51708}{51757}I appreciate your sense of urgency, Doctor,
{51760}{51839}but at this point it would be|unwise to rush to any conclusions.
{51841}{51883}Now you wanna exercise caution?
{51884}{51908}Are you serious?!
{51916}{52012}Major, you yourself have told us the Wraith|could be on their way here right now.
{52014}{52059}We have no choice but to move forward.
{52060}{52126}You're speaking on behalf|of a lot of people, Chancellor.
{52128}{52192}You think I would force this choice upon my own people?
{52206}{52271}No, sir, our people are in complete agreement.
{52275}{52376}Your people may be dead before the Wraith|even get here for all you know.
{52381}{52441}Chancellor, please, it's not too late.
{52443}{52513}Suspend the inoculations at least|until we know what killed Merell.
{52516}{52533}He was terminal.
{52534}{52601}We don't know for certain|the serum played any part in his death.
{52603}{52670}He suffered a sudden and|complete respiratory breakdown.
{52675}{52721}Which could well have been due to his condition.
{52723}{52775}His sickness had spread through most of his body.
{52779}{52829}Are you willing to risk thousands of people's lives
{52830}{52890}based on that assumption, because I'm not!
{52925}{52945}Major Sheppard?
{52948}{52981}Go ahead, Teyla.
{52987}{53014}We're in the medical centre.
{53015}{53041}We need help.
{53371}{53398}My God!
{53483}{53498}Major Sheppard.
{53523}{53568}The doctors say they began arriving last night,
{53571}{53609}and their numbers have been increasing by the hour.
{53611}{53623}Major.
{53626}{53652}I'm on it go.
{53657}{53698}Lieutenant, radio Weir, tell 'em we need
{53699}{53770}a full medical support team|on a Jumper and inbound ASAP.
{54180}{54218}I need help here!
{54219}{54241}Oxygen!
{54272}{54302}Take it easy.
{54673}{54699}Leave us.
{54759}{54809}D'you have any idea what's going on out there?
{54810}{54837}I do, Major.
{54838}{54893}Half the people you gave that drug to are dying.
{54894}{54936}Half of them, Major, half.
{54963}{54995}The statistics are clear
{54998}{55058}and the numbers are holding at|that level, it's just been confirmed,
{55061}{55146}which means the other fifty percen| of those we inoculated will live,
{55150}{55211}and destroy any Wraith who try to feed on them.
{55226}{55261}I don't believe this!
{55262}{55342}Now the Wraith will know the full|conviction of the Hoffan people.
{55345}{55374}Conviction?!
{55379}{55420}Do you realise that if we could spread
{55421}{55474}this drug to every human in the galaxy,
{55476}{55513}future generations would never
{55514}{55550}know the horror of a culling.
{55575}{55657}You're deliberately sacrificing millions of lives.
{55660}{55695}An end to the Wraith!
{55742}{55798}You can't comprehend the bargain in that?
{55800}{55875}You can't make a bargain lik| that for your entire people!
{55877}{55921}Do you think I'm alone in this conviction?
{55922}{55963}I think you're delusional!
{55966}{55981}You shall see.
{55991}{56052}We are putting it to a vote as we speak.
{56059}{56140}I will stand by the decision of the majority.
{56160}{56205}Does that satisfy you?
{56206}{56270}Do they have any idea what they're voting on?
{56299}{56332}Yes.
{56336}{56373}I promise you.
{56379}{56435}And you'll back off if it doesn't go your way?
{56437}{56476}You have my word.
{56665}{56709}Use whatever rooms you need for overflow.
{56712}{56767}We need to keep this area clear for triage.
{56902}{56940}Teyla, there you are.
{56943}{57014}Make sure that our oxygen is properly|deployed throughout the hospital.
{57016}{57030}Doctor.
{57033}{57081}Have non-critical patients use it in turns
{57082}{57135}just long enough to stabilise their breathing.
{57159}{57185}Teyla, what are you doing here?
{57186}{57208}You're not listening to me.
{57209}{57253}Now where's Perna?|I need her here.
{57254}{57278}Carson.
{57815}{57878}I would... like to have seen Atlantis.
{57945}{57963}Perna.
{57975}{58017}I'm so sorry.
{58079}{58107}Don't be.
{58164}{58219}I am at peace with what|I have done,
{58247}{58298}as you should be.
{58324}{58377}I wish I'd had no part in this.
{58397}{58450}You gave us hope.
{58505}{58600}For... years, our people have been working...
{58601}{58620}towards this...
{58651}{58685}very moment.
{58790}{58878}We didn't betray the forefathers.
{58883}{59005}We have fulfilled their destiny, their promise.
{59029}{59054}Aye.
{59221}{59248}Stay.
{59262}{59290}Stay.
{59836}{59876}- You OK?|- Aye.
{60005}{60039}I am told you are leaving.
{60051}{60078}Yes, we are.
{60082}{60142}Not that it hasn't been... lovely.
{60157}{60233}I wanted you to see the results|of the vote before you left.
{60407}{60456}Ninety-six percent in favour.
{60474}{60515}Does the vote include all your people?
{60517}{60550}Every one.
{60550}{60659}So you see, Major, we speak with one voice,|and we are resolute.
{60660}{60676}Yeah.
{60680}{60705}I can see that.
{60731}{60784}When next we meet, I would like to discuss the best way
{60787}{60849}to disseminate the drug on as many worlds as possible.
{60854}{60909}We won't be doing that any time soon.
{60914}{60970}Perhaps our victory will change your mind.
{60971}{61071}If and when we ever return,|I don't imagine you'll be here.
{61095}{61165}I don't imagine anybody else will be, either.
{61411}{61446}Good luck.
{61595}{61632}"Victory at all costs".
{61633}{61680}That sound familiar, Major?
{61696}{61717}Churchill.
{61720}{61730}Aye.
{61731}{61798}Never thought I'd disagree.
