{152}{194}I've never seen so much nothing.
{195}{251}I've never walked so far to see it.
{252}{295}How was I to know the only structures on this planet
{297}{347}would be in the immediate area around the stargate?
{355}{386}There's the gate.
{387}{417}Dial it up.
{419}{493}Wait. The energy readings here are exactly|the same as they were a mile away.
{500}{555}I really think we should stay a while.
{565}{602}I thought you hated wearing these suits.
{603}{675}I do. I'm incredibly uncomfortable,|but these energy readings are amazing.
{676}{714}It's like it's coming from all around us.
{716}{754}And yet you cannot explain it.
{754}{777}Not yet.
{777}{820}You can't figure out a way we can use it?
{832}{862}Not yet.
{911}{933}All right.
{934}{963}Then let's call it a mission.
{964}{1010}Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.|There is such a thing as pure science.
{1012}{1060}Not everything has to be immediately useful.
{1090}{1144}You talked me into coming here because you thought
{1145}{1244}those energy readings indicated|the presence of a civilization.
{1249}{1307}There are no buildings, no people, no nothing.
{1309}{1339}Just fog.
{1342}{1382}It's not technically fog.
{1383}{1434}There's no actual water vapor in the atmosphere.
{1437}{1484}I mean, for that matter,
{1485}{1535}I don't think we need to wear the hazmat gear.
{1685}{1720}Now you tell me.
{1759}{1795}Dial the gate.
{2330}{2360}Let's move out.
{2363}{2413}Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on.
{2434}{2462}You wanted useful.
{2505}{2531}What are you talking about?
{2532}{2557}When the wormhole connected,
{2561}{2603}there was a wild fluctuation in the energy field.
{2604}{2641}I mean, if I'm reading these numbers right,
{2642}{2731}it looks like the gate is actually|drawing power from the atmosphere.
{2737}{2756}So?
{2761}{2777}So?
{2784}{2827}To the best of my knowledge, this field goes on for miles.
{2828}{2878}I mean, for all we know, envelops the entire planet.
{2879}{2906}We're talking about a lot of energy here.
{2909}{2936}How much is a lot?
{2937}{2981}Well, in terms of joules or ergs?
{2984}{3030}In terms of... lots.
{3031}{3075}Well, lots and lots.
{3080}{3145}Enough to open a wormhole back to Earth.

{3480}{3545}Season 1 : Episode 9|Home 
{4780}{4855}I thought the atlantis gate was|the only one capable of dialing Earth.
{4856}{4910}It is, but that's because it's the only one|with an additional control crystal
{4911}{4958}that allows an eighth chevron to lock.
{4959}{4994}It's probably a security measure.
{5000}{5027}It doesn't matter.
{5028}{5065}As long as we have the control crystal,
{5066}{5099}I can make the other gate work.
{5100}{5151}You're suggesting we remove it from our DHD
{5153}{5235}and bring it to M5S224?
{5238}{5256}Yes.
{5264}{5305}- Isn't that risky?|- I'll be fine.
{5306}{5379}I think she means in terms of breaking our own gate.
{5381}{5408}I know what I'm doing.
{5410}{5462}Besides, the control crystal|is useless without enough power.
{5463}{5520}You said you didn't know|where the energy was coming from.
{5521}{5568}I believe it is being generated somehow
{5569}{5602}in the atmosphere itself.
{5603}{5628}The fog?
{5640}{5660}Yes.
{5661}{5691}You said it wasn't fog.
{5698}{5719}Whatever it is.
{5720}{5739}Well, how do you know?
{5740}{5766}I don't yet,
{5768}{5823}but the fog, or the mist,|or whatever you want to call it,
{5825}{5890}is the only thing around for miles,|and the energy readings were constant.
{5898}{5965}Okay, even if you can pull this off,
{5978}{6021}we have to assume that the Earth gate
{6022}{6068}lacks a power source capable of establishing
{6070}{6122}a wormhole back to Pegasus.
{6138}{6166}So whoever went,
{6167}{6219} it'd be taking the risk|that it might be a one-way trip.
{6222}{6261}I'm sure someone will volunteer.
{6263}{6285}You?
{6300}{6390}Believe it or not, I would only go if I knew|there was a good chance I could come back.
{6396}{6450}At least, we can send a message to Stargate Command.
{6451}{6486}Let them know we're okay.
{6506}{6556}We've gathered a lot of intel.
{6577}{6640}We should send it... if we can.
{6642}{6692}Even if it's over a radio.
{6860}{6885}That's it.
{6943}{6990}So how easy will it be to put that thing
{6991}{7018}in the other DHD?
{7019}{7047}The atlantis' DHD is unique.
{7048}{7110}It's not like the'll be an empty slot|waiting for us to plug it in.
{7115}{7139}Meaning?
{7142}{7207}Meaning that there may be some disassembly required.
{7230}{7268}You want to take the DHD apart?
{7269}{7311}I'll put it back together again.
{7312}{7371}Do you not run the risk of disabling the other Stargate?
{7372}{7432}Only if I screw up, which is extremely unlikely.
{7454}{7494}840 years.
{7503}{7526}What?
{7527}{7561}That's how long it will take us
{7564}{7611}to come get you by puddle jumper.
{7623}{7659}But you would do that, right?
{7685}{7711}Of course we would.
{7712}{7741}Well, it won't be necessary.
{7742}{7787}However, I may require some assistance.
{7799}{7824}Major?
{7828}{7854}Lieutenant?
{7866}{7889}Yes, sir.
{8332}{8374}Atlantis, this is McKay.
{8380}{8405}Go ahead.
{8406}{8457}We're ready to begin work on the DHD.
{8458}{8496}You're sure about this, Rodney?
{8497}{8561}Positive. The next time you hear from us,|we'll be delivering the good news.
{8563}{8588}Good luck.
{8590}{8630}We'll be back  in time for supper.
{8670}{8702}All right.
{8765}{8796}Let's get started.
{8892}{8917}Come in.
{8967}{9027}Hi. Do you have a moment?
{9036}{9069}Yeah, sure.
{9118}{9153}"War and peace."
{9221}{9255}That's some heavy reading.
{9256}{9311}Yep, back on Earth, when I was getting ready
{9313}{9368}for this mission, I realized there was a good chance
{9370}{9405}that I might be here for a while,
{9406}{9455}so I figured why not bring along a book
{9456}{9498}that takes a while to read.
{9527}{9555}Page 17.
{9559}{9591}I'm right on schedule.
{9653}{9734}That's kind of what I wanted to talk to you about, home.
{9746}{9774}Going home.
{9791}{9813}Oh.
{9850}{9874}McKay is right.
{9875}{9963}If this works, and we are able|to establish a wormhole back to Earth--
{9964}{10023}You know, if this conversation|is going where I think it's headed,
{10024}{10068}you can put your mind at rest.
{10070}{10107}I'm not going anywhere.
{10121}{10155}I haven't read my book.
{10164}{10320}Look, all I'm saying is that you are the person
{10323}{10388}who is best qualified to brief General Hammond
{10390}{10448}and the other powers that be about the Wraith threat.
{10449}{10490}Well, maybe so...
{10508}{10558}But I think I'm needed here.
{10571}{10593}Good.
{10594}{10645}But if you want to go, I understand that, too.
{10646}{10687}What are you saying, I'm not needed here?
{10688}{10723}I said I'd understand.
{10740}{10806}Well, thank you, but I made a commitment.
{10809}{10869}Of course, in all fairness, life-sucking aliens
{10872}{10915}weren't part of the brochure.
{10954}{11032}Regardless, I'm staying.
{11035}{11056}Good.
{11073}{11118}Wouldn't be the same without you.
{11320}{11363}So if this works, would you want to go back?
{11364}{11413}I don't think it matters what I would want.
{11414}{11436}Why not?
{11437}{11487}Because Atlantis can't afford to lose me.
{11495}{11554}I'm their foremost expert in gate theory,|wormhole physics,
{11557}{11616}and a myriad of other sciences too numerous to mention
{11618}{11654}yet too important to ignore.
{11655}{11688}I'd love to see my grandma.
{11691}{11732}She thinks I'm somewhere in afghanistan or something.
{11735}{11758}On the other hand, if anyone's going,
{11761}{11801}it should be someone|that commands the respect of the SGC
{11803}{11867}and yet has the patience, knowledge, and determination
{11869}{11945}to bring them up to speed and|find a way to bring the cavalry back here.
{11951}{12014}So, what you're saying is you're invaluable everywhere.
{12017}{12062}Granted, it would create a void if I were to go,
{12065}{12130}but you can all take comfort in the knowledge|that I'll be on the other side,
{12131}{12177}spearheading the effort to return with reinforcements,
{12179}{12240}fresh supplies, and big macs for all.
{12242}{12285}I feel better already.
{12288}{12318}Yeah, good.
{12450}{12477}Major Sheppard!
{12478}{12516}Have we heard back from Dr. McKay?
{12533}{12555}Not yet.
{12559}{12613}Word of the discovery has|already spread throughout the base.
{12622}{12650}I've noticed.
{12654}{12691}It is to be expected, of course--
{12693}{12752}faced with prospect of being reunited with loved ones,
{12753}{12798}returning to familiar ground.
{12807}{12862}Yeah, I'd love to go back.
{12889}{12949}You would consider leaving Atlantis?
{12950}{12994}I just wish I knew I could gate back here.
{12995}{13035}Then I'd go in a heartbeat.
{13044}{13090}It would be wonderful to see your world.
{13091}{13130}You could help me with the briefing.
{13163}{13192}I would like that.
{13193}{13255}Hey, you know more about|the Pegasus galaxy than anyone.
{13261}{13315}Then there's all those|cool Earth things I've talked about,
{13318}{13352}football, ferris wheels...
{13355}{13372}Oh!
{13394}{13451}Do you remember the last of the popcorn we ate?
{13486}{13527}We can get more.
{13552}{13597}If we knew we could return.
{13598}{13644}{Y:i}Unscheduled activation!
{13725}{13771}It's a radio transmission from Dr. McKay.
{13803}{13827}Rodney?
{13833}{13853}Elizabeth.
{13854}{13882}I'm done.
{13883}{13928}The component's installed|in the DHD, and as you can see--
{13932}{13958}Well done.
{13959}{14015}Sorry, what about the energy readings?
{14020}{14050}Oh, same as before.
{14051}{14117}All indications are that the gate's|drawing power from the atmosphere,
{14118}{14163}and there's enough for an eight-chevron lock.
{14164}{14199}Okay, you stay put.
{14204}{14250}- We're on our way.|- Great.
{14362}{14419}So are we, uh, ready?
{14436}{14480}What's there to be ready for?
{14490}{14530}Well, this is a big moment,
{14533}{14574}and I thought we haven't been|in contact for some time--
{14576}{14620}- We're ready.|- Go ahead.
{14835}{14865}Please work.
{15065}{15142}Stargate command, this is Dr. Elizabeth Weir
{15143}{15177}of the Atlantis expedition.
{15179}{15211}Do you read?
{15313}{15356}I repeat, this is Dr. Weir.
{15357}{15392}Come in, please.
{15425}{15480}This is sergeant Harriman of Stargate Command.
{15481}{15541}Whoever you are, this better not be a joke.
{15548}{15589}No joke, sergeant.
{15594}{15669}I'm sending my personal IDC for confirmation.
{15721}{15759}Sorry about that, Dr. Weir.
{15762}{15802}We're just a little surprised to be hearing from you.
{15803}{15833}Understandable.
{15842}{15873}The iris is open.
{15874}{15906}You're clear to come through.
{15911}{15982}Thanks, but we're not ready to risk a one-way trip.
{16025}{16064}You don't understand, doctor.
{16065}{16101}Things have changed around here.
{16107}{16162}The asgard are in the process of fitting Prometheus
{16165}{16225}with engines capable of reaching other galaxies.
{16226}{16291}We were manning a mission|to find out what happened to you.
{16309}{16343}Is he serious?
{16365}{16398}Are you serious?
{16402}{16436}es, ma'am.
{16437}{16522}Come through now, and you could|be back in Pegasus inside of a month.
{16649}{16674}Well...
{16697}{16734}Who's going?
{16932}{16971}Welcome back to Earth.
{17274}{17343}And while the Pegasus galaxy does hold many dangers,
{17347}{17447}I feel its potential rewards|justify the risk of maintaining
{17449}{17506}a continued presence on the Atlantis base.
{17520}{17582}Unfortunately, doctor, your preliminary report
{17584}{17640}has given the Pentagon cause for concern.
{17656}{17704}If the Wraith are as powerful as you say,
{17708}{17784}that would make them an enemy|even more dangerous than the Goa'uld.
{17798}{17844}There are those who believe it would be prudent
{17847}{17928}to cut our losses and abandon|the Pegasus galaxy all together.
{17948}{17972}General, you can't--
{17973}{18043}We are talking about a race that defeated the Ancients.
{18070}{18157}Over its years in operation,|Stargate Command has encountered
{18160}{18252}a number of threats that could well have brought|about the destruction of this world.
{18271}{18312}Now, that never stopped you from continuing
{18313}{18362}to send teams through the gate, General.
{18383}{18471}By the time SG-1 had returned from their first mission,
{18473}{18522}the damage had already been done.
{18524}{18564}We'd alerted the Goa'uld to our presence
{18567}{18627}and shutting down operations|wouldn't have changed that.
{18646}{18716}In the case of the Wraith, however, we have a choice.
{18723}{18787}So we're just going to turn tail and run?
{18800}{18878}The Pentagon would prefer|to call it "a strategic withdrawal."
{18905}{18955}But how can we be sure they won't come after us?
{18956}{18982}She's right, General.
{18983}{19065}They feed on human life forms, and now they know|there's a smorgasbord waiting for them here.
{19083}{19127}I don't think we have a choice.
{19133}{19186}We need to continue to explore the opportunities
{19189}{19260}for technological advancement|Pegasus galaxy has to offer,
{19270}{19373}not to mention our responsibility|to the other humans who live there.
{19391}{19426}Responsibility?
{19427}{19473}We did wake up the Wraith,
{19474}{19563}and while, yes, that would've happened|eventually without our interference,
{19567}{19684}our access to ancient technology puts us in|a unique position to help those people.
{19685}{19729}We can't just walk away.
{19873}{19915}Rest assured your recommendation
{19915}{19984}will be given consideration at the highest level.
{20166}{20199}General, sir!
{20246}{20272}Thank you, sir.
{20306}{20336}Major Sheppard.
{20428}{20489}I'm surprised the briefing went as quickly as it did.
{20490}{20537}You were very thorough, Major.
{20540}{20570}Thank you, sir.
{20574}{20644}I thought you'd be enjoying some well-deserved R and R.
{20651}{20716}I was just going to arrange some transportation, sir.
{20719}{20778}Consider it taken care of, Major. Anywhere you'd like.
{20790}{20840}Well, that's very generous.
{20843}{20888}You've done your country a great service, son.
{20889}{20920}You deserve it.
{20960}{20995}Thank you, sir.
{21323}{21379}Well, how's our patient doing?
{21380}{21430}We're all done, Major.|She's free to go.
{21489}{21539}I was afraid you had abandoned me.
{21540}{21580}Just setting up our ride.
{21640}{21697}So... where are we going?
{21719}{21825}We should start by getting you a new outfit.
{22681}{22716}Hello, Simon.
{22746}{22779}Oh, my god.
{22790}{22825}When did you...
{23096}{23131}I missed you.
{23527}{23581}You have no new messages.
{23617}{23687}Hmm, must've been a power failure or something.
{23695}{23720}Anyways...
{23928}{23987}{Y:i}...there is nothing wrong with your television set.
{23995}{24042}{Y:i}Do not attempt to adjust the picture.
{24055}{24103}{Y:i}We are controlling the transmission...
{24120}{24189}{Y:i}If we wish to make it louder,|we will bring up the volume.
{24217}{24270}{Y:i}If we wish to make it softer, we will tune...
{24330}{24349}Hi.
{24374}{24394}Hi.
{24495}{24523}Thank you, Major.
{24524}{24554}You're welcome.
{24567}{24642}I have traded in many market places on many worlds--
{24643}{24692}Countries. Countries...
{24695}{24755}yes, of course. Countries...
{24780}{24861}But here there are so many|different items to choose from.
{24866}{24920}Yeah, you seemed like you were having fun,
{24934}{25005}hours... And hours of fun.
{25018}{25061}But you picked out a nice outfit.
{25076}{25116}Thank you.
{25151}{25180}I wonder...
{25189}{25239}If we had never suffered the Wraith,
{25240}{25339}would my people have created|a civilization such as this?
{25360}{25447}I'm starting to wonder about a few things myself.
{25458}{25485}What?
{25486}{25527}Nothing feels wrong to you?
{25533}{25571}I don't mean one thing.
{25574}{25645}I mean... everything.
{25651}{25689}I do not understand.
{25713}{25750}Excuse me, uh...
{25758}{25834}Could you take us to the Green Moss park area?
{25840}{25858}Sure thing.
{25861}{25880}Thank you.
{25931}{26023}I think I'll have a better idea of|what's bothering me once we get there.
{26131}{26169}Hey, Sedge!
{26178}{26210}Did you miss me?
{26213}{26242}Did you miss me?
{26243}{26278}More than you can imagine.
{26516}{26616}I don't know how many times|I watched that damn tape you left me.
{26646}{26688}I wanted to tell you in person.
{26691}{26722}No, you didn't.
{26749}{26792}You were afraid I'd talk you out of it.
{26805}{26846}I was afraid you'd try.
{26857}{26889}When you told me you were going away,
{26892}{26968}but couldn't say where, my first guess was Korea.
{26977}{27020}My second guess was Israel.
{27055}{27146}To be honest, the Pegasus galaxy didn't make my list.
{27178}{27213}I am sorry.
{27271}{27302}I know.
{27387}{27441}I imagine my security clearance doesn't let you tell me
{27444}{27499}what you've been doing while you were there--
{27551}{27579}No.
{27586}{27627}Or when you'll be leaving again?
{27634}{27659}No.
{27705}{27772}Well, at the very least, you could promise me that...
{27856}{27893}You'll take this with you.
{27939}{27966}Simon.
{28105}{28141}It's beautiful.
{28351}{28386}Looks nice.
{28413}{28444}Thank you.
{28755}{28798}Is something wrong?
{28858}{28925}You know what? I'm sorry.|It's just when you kissed me...
{28972}{29016}What are you talking about, Elizabeth?
{29142}{29167}Hello?
{29200}{29240}General. What--
{29340}{29382}Yes, I understand.
{29390}{29420}Thank you.
{29962}{29995}Hang on!
{30212}{30237}Oh, hey.
{30243}{30295}Just the middle of a power nap, and...
{30297}{30352}I'm not wearing any pants.
{30410}{30466}I didn't even think you knew where I lived.
{30472}{30495}Air Force.
{30496}{30519}Oh, right.
{30520}{30547}Oh, look, I can't, um...
{30548}{30574}Really, um...
{30575}{30635}I have a date with a girl in 302.
{30636}{30700}She's been taking care of the cat
{30701}{30775}for the whole time I was away,|and, apparently, she misses me...
{30776}{30825}- Rodney...|- I know, I'm trying to pawn off my cat
{30826}{30871}off on a neighbor, and I end up with...
{30882}{30901}What?
{30902}{30948}I just got a call from General Hammond.
{30949}{30994}There was an accident on the Prometheus.
{31020}{31080}We can't go back to Atlantis.
{31194}{31249}I was going to come home, get some rest,
{31251}{31288}then come back refreshed and|ready to work on a solution,
{31291}{31355}but an hour ago, it hit me,|like Archimedes in the bathtub--
{31356}{31387}Eureka! Except I wasn't in a bathtub.
{31388}{31470}I was on a couch watching|a very strange  outer limits episode...
{31471}{31500}Forget Prometheus.
{31501}{31563}I've figured out how to|establish a wormhole connection
{31565}{31625}back to the Pegasus galaxy,|but I'm going to need the ZPM.
{31627}{31700}- The ZPM has been depleted. It's of no use.|- Actually, that's not entirely true.
{31701}{31790}The last time we used it, the ZPM had to establish|and maintain a wormhole back to Atlantis.
{31791}{31890}This time around, all we need for it to do is to have|enough energy to establish the briefest of connections
{31891}{31972}By my calculations, approximately 3.5 microseconds.
{31975}{32070}- That hardly seems like enough time to accomplish--|- General, when we first set foot on M5S224,
{32071}{32138}before the wormhole shut down,|I picked up fluctuations in the energy field.
{32139}{32220}I just assumed that was an effect of|the gate's residual energy signature,
{32221}{32292}but having given it some thought, I realized|that can't account for such sizable variances,
{32293}{32341}which leaves only one possible explanation.
{32343}{32392}The gate must have been energized on our arrival,
{32394}{32446}meaning it doesn't just draw|power on outgoing wormholes,
{32447}{32488}but on incoming wormholes as well.
{32489}{32532}All we have to do is make a connection.
{32533}{32599}3.5 microseconds, that's|the minimal amount of time it requires
{32601}{32653}to confirm a lock before|the gate automatically kicks in,
{32655}{32715}drawing power from the atmosphere|to maintain the wormhole.
{32722}{32797}You'll forgive me, doctor.|This all seems a little farfetched.
{32812}{32857}Think of it like making a long-distance call
{32859}{32890}to someone you know is going to accept the charges.
{32891}{32919}All you have to do is dial.
{32920}{32944}I'm sorry, doctor.
{32945}{33005}Well, you're not going to lose|anything by letting me try, are you?
{33006}{33056}All I want to do is run a couple of tests.
{33091}{33180}All right. I'll have the ZPM delivered to the lab.
{33196}{33221}Thank you.
{33680}{33738}Dr. Weir, I wasn't expecting to see you.
{33739}{33778}I've been thinking about what happened.
{33779}{33804}Thank you.
{33859}{33910}I know it's a bit of a setback,
{33911}{33950}but I don't think we should give up just yet.
{33953}{33997}If we can get the prometheus repaired--
{33998}{34036}The prometheus was severely damaged.
{34037}{34069}We lost 20 crew members.
{34072}{34135}She won't be flying again any time soon.
{34140}{34199}So we ask the Asgard for one of their ships.
{34201}{34308}Well, I'm sure that when the Asgard|are in a position to help, they will.
{34336}{34441}General, I only came to Earth because|I was assured I'd be able to get back.
{34453}{34528}Now, I am not about to abandon my expedition team.
{34554}{34632}I'll see what I can do,|but I'm not making any promises.
{34755}{34815}You've got to talk to somebody about this for me.
{34826}{34851}Look, I'm sorry.
{34852}{34919}If those are the orders you received,|it's out of my hands.
{34920}{34971}If there's one thing I can't abide, it's sloppy work.
{34972}{35005}If your people won't double-check their results,
{35007}{35049}then there's no point in keeping them on the team.
{35050}{35088}- Dr. McKay.|- Yes, Lieutenant.
{35090}{35119}I'm being transferred.
{35121}{35149}Congratulations.
{35152}{35178}No, you don't understand.
{35179}{35233}I was chillin' with my parents,|just having a good time,
{35234}{35282}and some sergeant shows up with new orders for me.
{35284}{35307}I want to go back to Atlantis,
{35309}{35344}and they want to ship me back to Antarctica.
{35345}{35400}Lieutenant, do you know something that I don't,
{35401}{35460}because the last time I checked,|the Prometheus was critically damaged,
{35461}{35533}and the only ZPM in our possession|didn't have the power to run a car stereo.
{35534}{35582}I just thought you'd be trying to find another way.
{35584}{35618}There is no other way, Lieutenant.
{35619}{35659}You're just going to have to deal with it.
{36351}{36376}Thank you.
{36532}{36583}Would it be so bad if you had to stay?
{36623}{36659}I'm sorry, Simon.
{36665}{36715}I know none of this is fair to you.
{36740}{36819}It is tough to compete with|the greatest adventure in human history.
{36901}{36941}I don't blame you for going.
{37006}{37035}Thank you...
{37079}{37119}But I still feel guilty.
{37138}{37197}And now I feel guilty about being back.
{37225}{37270}Because of the people you left behind?
{37293}{37349}No. I should have stayed at Atlantis.
{37370}{37435}Major Sheppard should have been the one to go.
{37600}{37637}Oh, yeah.
{37667}{37701}Just like I left it.
{37747}{37839}So much space for just one person.
{37860}{37938}Well, a guy's got to have a lot of space.
{38044}{38096}I bet there's still...
{38220}{38249}Perfect.
{38494}{38528}Nice and cold.
{38537}{38576}And this is...
{38578}{38618}It's called beer.
{38890}{38923}Is all this...
{38934}{38974}For recreation?
{38990}{39085}Yeah, I got pretty much everything|you can imagine, don't I?
{39223}{39253}What is it?
{39300}{39350}I was just thinking again...
{39369}{39478}How Dr. Weir and everyone else on Atlantis...
{39493}{39523}Of course.
{39540}{39586}I am sure she is fine.
{39631}{39696}As I am sure they are all fine.
{39742}{39771}Yeah.
{39785}{39815}I'm sure.
{40119}{40156}You people have those test results for me yet?
{40170}{40199}We need more time.
{40201}{40247}What are you talking about?|Let me see what you've got.
{40312}{40340}Wait a minute.
{40344}{40384}What is this, some kind of a joke?
{40395}{40437}I told you, we need more time.
{40438}{40483}These don't even make any sense.
{40531}{40599}We don't think the ZPM has enough|power to open the wormhole.
{40600}{40636}Well, you wouldn't know that from this, would you?
{40637}{40674}This might as well say, "bing, tiddle, tiddle, bong."
{40675}{40711}It's complete gibberish.
{40712}{40755}Look, get out of here. I'll do it.
{40776}{40801}Go.
{40864}{40904}You've got to be kidding me.
{40955}{41003}Thank you for coming in again, Doctor.
{41004}{41055}Has there been a response to my request?
{41071}{41145}Actually, we won't be needing any help from the Asgard.
{41168}{41223}It turns out Dr. McKay has found a solution
{41226}{41297}that will enable us to open a wormhole back to Pegasus.
{41299}{41326}He has?
{41336}{41381}Why wasn't I informed?
{41415}{41505}Doctor, the Atlantis mission has been reassessed.
{41524}{41560}What does that mean?
{41585}{41657}In light of the intelligence you|brought us concerning the Wraith,
{41659}{41761}it's been decided that the Atlantis|presence should be military.
{41790}{41837}Our allies have agreed to this?
{41838}{41865}They did.
{41868}{41933}As soon as Dr. McKay can establish a wormhole,
{41934}{41991}we intend to send reinforcements,
{41992}{42058}along with a new commanding officer.
{42076}{42162}I'm sorry, doctor, but you've|been relieved of your duties.
{42165}{42195}Okay, wait a minute.
{42205}{42287}I am not saying that there shouldn't|be an increased military presence,
{42290}{42346}but the mission must remain the same...
{42354}{42409}And I'm sure if Major Sheppard|were here he'd tell you--
{42410}{42444}We've spoken to Major Sheppard.
{42445}{42517}He dialed in about an hour ago|to check on your progress.
{42523}{42565}We informed him of the situation,
{42566}{42614}and he agrees with our assessment.
{42629}{42679}He wouldn't do that, General.
{42683}{42720}I know John Sheppard.
{42723}{42796}Apparently, you don't know him|as well as you thought, Doctor.
{42798}{42848}Major Sheppard stated categorically
{42850}{42926}it's the only way to ensure|the security of the project.
{43005}{43040}Let's get out of here.
{43043}{43067}Why?
{43070}{43118}You want to see Earth, right? It's out there.
{43124}{43240}I thought you would want to spend|time in your home, visit with friends.
{43249}{43298}There is an idea.
{43367}{43393}Hey!
{43447}{43472}Mitch.
{43503}{43527}Dex.
{43531}{43620}You didn't really think you could pass|through town without seeing us, did you, Shep?
{43648}{43692}So you going to invite us in or what?
{43719}{43780}Yeah, sure. What the hell?
{43823}{43851}Hi. I'm Dex.
{44235}{44268}What is this?
{44284}{44317}Is there a problem?
{44327}{44361}Elizabeth.
{44373}{44416}- Rodney, I need to talk to you.|- Can it wait?
{44417}{44482}No. Something is very wrong here.
{44494}{44529}I've run a diagnostic on the ZPM.
{44530}{44575}These are the results I keep getting back.
{44605}{44649}I'm not a scientist, Rodney.
{44650}{44755}Neither is anyone else, or they'd have noticed|the laws of physics seem to have flown out the window.
{44756}{44802}Maybe there's a problem with your equipment.
{44815}{44849}I checked. It's fine.
{44852}{44936}Look, if your solution doesn't work,|it's not your fault.
{44957}{45036}We'll just have to accept|the fact that we can't go back.
{45049}{45092}What?
{45233}{45274}So our boys were pinned down.
{45275}{45363}So hotshot takes his chopper over this bridge--
{45365}{45395}And we were supposed to follow him.
{45396}{45491}Well, there's no way I'm flying a blackhawk|over a bridge with enemy tanks on it--
{45493}{45520}Wait, with what on it?
{45521}{45560}- Tanks.|- You're welcome.
{45640}{45680}I still love that, man.
{45750}{45825}Yeah, that was, uh... priceless.
{45826}{45855}But, uh...
{45874}{45939}We got that special ops team|out of there, didn't we, Shep?
{45940}{45973}Yes, we did.
{45981}{46030}I'll tell you what, that was some flying, Shep.
{46166}{46245}Well, look who's in the pizza-delivery business.
{46246}{46266}No, sir.
{46269}{46304}I just caught the guy on the way up.
{46317}{46378}I was just thinking about you.|Why don't you come in?
{46401}{46436}Looks like we...
{46444}{46500}Are having a party.
{46508}{46541}Thanks.
{46555}{46590}I've got pizza.
{46697}{46750}I've been relieved of my command.
{46753}{46800}Oh. Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
{46803}{46864}They're going to militarize Atlantis.
{46885}{46918}Interesting.
{46921}{46961}Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
{46974}{47015}What, so you're just okay with this?
{47022}{47093}Elizabeth, how did you expect them to react|when you told them about the Wraith?
{47094}{47152}At the very least, I thought I'd be kept in the loop.
{47153}{47229}You're just being paranoid.|Go spend time with Simon.
{47230}{47249}Simon?
{47250}{47286}Yes, he's important to you, isn't he?
{47316}{47338}Yes.
{47370}{47421}I just don't remember ever telling you that.
{47490}{47538}Well, how else would I have known?
{47608}{47640}We didn't know what to think.
{47658}{47693}I mean, this guy was supposedly
{47697}{47767}one of the most ruthless warlords in afghanistan,
{47768}{47814}and suddenly, he just sits down at our table.
{47817}{47846}Sir, you got to hear this story--
{47847}{47877}Yeah, I was there, Lieutenant...
{47878}{47909}Oh, yeah, you remember.
{47913}{47980}Turns out he just wants to practice his english.
{47981}{48041}Shep spent half the night talking to this guy.
{48045}{48076}That was funny.
{48081}{48146}He wouldn't even let you get up|to go to the bathroom, remember?
{48247}{48382}And two days later, you guys were killed outside Kabul.
{48465}{48512}Let me see if I can make you understand, okay?
{48513}{48552}These results don't just say the ZPM won't work.
{48553}{48608}They say this reality isn't|governed by any natural laws.
{48619}{48705}It's like looking through a microscope at a cell|culture and seeing a thousand dancing hamsters!
{48706}{48734}it's impossible!
{48735}{48764}Rodney, you need to calm down.
{48765}{48813}No, no, what I need to do now is get very agitated,
{48814}{48858}because what I'm realizing|is that all of this is a lie.
{48865}{48893}This... And this...
{48915}{48940}And this!
{49055}{49084}What are you saying?
{49093}{49163}Their chopper took an RPG when|it touched down for a medevac.
{49190}{49278}There was barely enough left|to bring back for a military funeral.
{49282}{49306}What?
{49309}{49359}You guys have been dead for years.
{49381}{49469}Don't get me wrong, it's really nice seeing you...
{49479}{49514}And you too, Mrs. Watson.
{49518}{49577}- Sir, I don't...|- She was my sixth grade teacher...
{49578}{49605}And...
{49606}{49701}I don't even remember your name,|but I remember you wouldn't even date me!
{49704}{49763}Shep, I think we should take you to see a doctor.
{49768}{49794}Oh, really?
{49807}{49847}Yeah, you're acting pretty strange.
{49900}{49950}Oh, I'm acting strange, huh?
{50160}{50182}Major!
{50346}{50391}Now, do you see what I mean?
{50416}{50488}Okay, the Rodney McKay I know would never accept
{50491}{50567}the militarization of Atlantis|without putting up a fight.
{50572}{50627}I don't think Major Sheppard would agree to it either.
{50629}{50683}At least not without speaking to me about it first.
{50685}{50731}Elizabeth, you shouldn't take it personally.
{50732}{50767}I mean, think of it like a blessing.
{50768}{50825}You have a life.|You can get back to it now.
{50855}{50913}No. I'm not buying this anymore.
{50916}{50955}Who are you really?
{50973}{51007}Who am I? What do you mean?
{51061}{51094}You shot me!
{51097}{51125}You're already dead.
{51126}{51165}Sir, give me the...
{51190}{51244}I'm beginning to have my doubts|about you too, Lieutenant.
{51247}{51293}I wouldn't put them to a test.
{51456}{51592}Now, somebody explain to me|what the hell is going on here.
{51666}{51698}Dr. Weir.
{51785}{51823}Okay, no more lies.
{51824}{51870}What is this?|What's happening to me?
{51884}{51949}There's no point in deluding you any longer.
{52121}{52156}Now you know.
{52481}{52509}Where's Rodney?
{52512}{52562}The real Dr. McKay and the rest of his team
{52564}{52625}reside in their own illusory worlds.
{52652}{52705}I want to see them. Please.
{52974}{53012}What happened?
{53035}{53099}I drew you together from your fractured realities.
{53100}{53147}No, I'm talking about the beer I had.
{53148}{53208}Major Sheppard discovered the truth some time ago.
{53221}{53243}He did?
{53244}{53335}Home for the last 11 months,|has been a research base in Antarctica.
{53344}{53438}although... I did dream about|a bachelor pad like that, but--
{53439}{53488}Major Sheppard seemed uniquely capable
{53491}{53555}of manipulating his own fabricated reality.
{53558}{53619}When I think of the scenarios|I could've thought up, I'd kick myself.
{53622}{53705}The realities you experienced were|fabrications of your own minds.
{53710}{53775}Since you had no memories of Earth to draw from,
{53776}{53834}you shared in Major Sheppard's illusion.
{53879}{53913}I thought that was you.
{53917}{53995}It is unfortunate that you all became aware so quickly.
{53999}{54056}Hower, you may now create a fabricated reality
{54059}{54157}of your own choosing in which to live|out the remainder of your lives.
{54161}{54187}What?
{54189}{54228}That's not going to work for us.
{54231}{54284}I'm afraid the matter is beyond your control.
{54344}{54372}Well...
{54390}{54428}We'll find a way to fight you.
{54432}{54474}That would be quite impossible, Major.
{54477}{54568}Even now you are simply|experiencing a shared fabrication.
{54580}{54658}It will be best if you try|to make a life for yourselves.
{54659}{54692}This isn't life!
{54708}{54752}What do you want us to do, just pretend?
{54758}{54813}I'm sorry, but that's all I can offer you.
{54820}{54853}Wait.
{54889}{54927}Why would you do this?
{54928}{54967}To protect ourselves.
{54985}{55015}From us?
{55056}{55101}We did not intend to harm anyone.
{55106}{55183}Unlike you, we exist in a|non-corporeal form susceptible
{55186}{55271}to the destructive effects|of the Stargate on our home-world.
{55283}{55321}What destructive effects?
{55325}{55382}So the energy readings, they were life signs.
{55383}{55408}You were in the mist.
{55411}{55504}We are the mist, and every time|the gate is activated, lives are lost.
{55525}{55640}Over time, explorers have come and gone,|completely unaware of our existence.
{55641}{55716}Sacrifices are made to ensure our secrecy,
{55720}{55785}but when you came back, we grew concerned.
{55789}{55879}To learn your intentions,|we had no choice but to enter your minds.
{55881}{55931}When we discovered what you were about to do,
{55934}{55996}we were forced to take preventive measures.
{56012}{56067}But you just said you'd let others come and go.
{56086}{56132}Why not allow us to do the same?
{56136}{56211}Your desire to return to|your home-world was too strong.
{56217}{56281}The amount of energy required to gate to another galaxy
{56284}{56345}would have killed millions of our kind.
{56439}{56497}So when we dialed the gate--
{56500}{56575}You never dialed the gate.|You just imagined you did.
{56594}{56677}You are unconscious, even now, on the planet's surface.
{56690}{56727}So none of this is real?
{56788}{56853}The cute brunette. Of course, I should've known.|I mean, how do you go from...
{56854}{56933}"you're a pig, but I like your cat" to "I missed you"?
{56952}{57026}We lacked a sophisticated understanding of your world.
{57030}{57143}As a result, the illusions we created|from your thoughts were ultimately flawed.
{57146}{57216}The dead people were a dead giveaway.
{57234}{57263}Dead people.
{57267}{57293}What were you doing?
{57299}{57360}- If you had just told us, I mean, maybe we could...|- Whoa, wait.
{57361}{57389}I just realized something.
{57391}{57453}You're saying that our unconscious|bodies are still on the planet.
{57454}{57471}Yes.
{57472}{57545}Yeah, well, so we need food. We need water.|I mean, we need food.
{57553}{57610}What he's saying is we won't live long in this state.
{57611}{57672}Then I suggest you make the most|of the time you have left.
{57693}{57751}You're killing us in order to save yourselves.
{57755}{57819}In order to save millions of our kind.
{57822}{57865}I believe you would do the same.
{57871}{57953}If we do not go back,|our friends will come looking for us.
{57956}{57984}Others of your kind?
{57990}{58025}They'll show up.
{58032}{58077}What are you going to do, kill them too?
{58114}{58144}And more will come.
{58145}{58204}One day, they'll figure out how to access the Gate.
{58205}{58270}Then millions of your kind will die.
{58371}{58416}We don't leave people behind,
{58426}{58504}and if you were really General Hammond,|you'd know that.
{58589}{58639}But if you allow us to leave here,
{58653}{58722}we promise we will never return, ever.
{58745}{58850}You will not have to fear us ever again.|I give you my word.
{58887}{58977}How can you make such a promise|when you so desire to return home?
{58994}{59019}Sure,
{59029}{59068}we'd like to go home.
{59070}{59144}We're not willing to kill|millions of your kind to do it.
{59181}{59260}You've been in our heads.|You're in our heads right now
{59264}{59316}You should know we mean that.
{59621}{59670}I understand.
{60334}{60422}I don't mean to sound negative,|because that would be, you know, so not me...
{60423}{60489}But how do we know this isn't a double fake-out?
{60490}{60519}I mean, how do we know that this is--
{60520}{60560}This is your reality.
{60566}{60611}You have my word.
{60697}{60727}I'm starving.
{60736}{60765}He's got to be right.
{60768}{60805}I wonder how long we've been out.
{60823}{60895}I need to get the control crystal out of the DHD.|Shouldn't take more than a few minutes.
{60918}{60953}I'll give you a hand.
{61016}{61085}Thank you for trusting us.
{61140}{61182}Rodney, be careful with that.
{61205}{61251}I want to make sure we can get back home.
{61254}{61284}You mean Atlantis?
{61296}{61332}I think that's what she meant.
{61333}{61414}How do I know she wasn't suggesting|we pull a double fake and dial Earth?
{61415}{61443}Forget the double fake.
{61444}{61473}Get the damn crystal.
{61474}{61509}I'll do the dial-out.
