1
00:00:04,934 --> 00:00:07,448
(Teyla) Previously on Stargate Atlantis...

2
00:00:07,614 --> 00:00:09,445
- It's heading here.
- What's it doing?

3
00:00:09,614 --> 00:00:12,447
It's scanning us.

4
00:00:12,614 --> 00:00:16,766
The dart sent a transmission into space
and self-destructed before we got to it.

5
00:00:16,934 --> 00:00:19,402
- We scanned the area...
- What are those?

6
00:00:19,574 --> 00:00:21,929
- Wraith hive ships.
- Where are they headed?

7
00:00:22,094 --> 00:00:27,293
If they maintain direction and speed,
they'll be over our planet in two weeks.

8
00:00:33,534 --> 00:00:35,809
We knew they were coming.
Now we know when.

9
00:00:35,974 --> 00:00:37,965
- That's something.
- That's something?

10
00:00:38,134 --> 00:00:42,571
It means there's still time, Rodney.
There's no reason to panic... yet.

11
00:00:42,734 --> 00:00:45,806
- Where there is time, there is hope.
- So, recommendations?

12
00:00:45,974 --> 00:00:48,408
- Other than panic?
- Other than panic, yes.

13
00:00:49,374 --> 00:00:53,287
I realise this might not be cool,
but we should consider M7G-677.

14
00:00:54,294 --> 00:00:58,810
- As a possible evacuation site?
- No. I'm suggesting we take their ZPM.

15
00:00:58,974 --> 00:01:03,809
Their only protection from the Wraith?
A planet populated mostly by children?

16
00:01:03,974 --> 00:01:05,965
He raises a valid point.

17
00:01:06,134 --> 00:01:09,490
The ZPM is nearly depleted,
but it could be of some use to us.

18
00:01:09,654 --> 00:01:12,373
You asked for suggestions.
It's a matter of survival.

19
00:01:12,534 --> 00:01:16,493
I see. Well, we're not quite there yet,

20
00:01:16,654 --> 00:01:19,566
and as long as I'm in charge
we will never be there.

21
00:01:19,734 --> 00:01:24,808
I agree. If this is to be our end, it is best
we face it with both dignity and honour.

22
00:01:24,974 --> 00:01:28,250
- I have an idea... in addition to panic.
- Let's hear it.

23
00:01:28,414 --> 00:01:32,043
It's a long shot,
but I think it's most likely worth the effort.

24
00:01:32,214 --> 00:01:34,808
- It'll mostly be my effort, so...
- What is it?

25
00:01:34,974 --> 00:01:37,852
We can send a message to Earth
through the Stargate.

26
00:01:38,014 --> 00:01:40,574
- Excuse me?
- Do we have enough power?

27
00:01:40,734 --> 00:01:43,612
Not to send a person.
We couldn't maintain the wormhole.

28
00:01:43,774 --> 00:01:46,925
If we tied together
all our power-generating capabilities,

29
00:01:47,094 --> 00:01:51,485
we might be able to establish a wormhole
long enough to send a message.

30
00:01:51,654 --> 00:01:56,808
- How much time are we talking about?
- Approximately 1.3 seconds, give or take.

31
00:01:56,974 --> 00:01:59,442
- That's not much time.
- Time to say SOS.

32
00:01:59,614 --> 00:02:04,927
It's enough time to send a message in
the form of a high-compression data burst.

33
00:02:05,094 --> 00:02:08,291
I helped refine the encoding
for the US air force.

34
00:02:08,454 --> 00:02:11,287
Colonel Carter can decipher it
on the other side.

35
00:02:11,454 --> 00:02:14,252
- You're suggesting this now?
- It probably won't work

36
00:02:14,414 --> 00:02:16,689
and could overload
our naqahdah generators.

37
00:02:16,854 --> 00:02:20,927
Well, then, we can't take the risk.
No power, we won't have a chance in hell.

38
00:02:21,094 --> 00:02:26,122
There are three Wraith hive ships on the
way. This calls for desperate measures.

39
00:02:26,294 --> 00:02:29,684
Besides, I've been working out
ways of minimising the risk.

40
00:02:30,854 --> 00:02:34,733
Assuming it's possible,
how much information could we send?

41
00:02:34,894 --> 00:02:40,685
Everything. Mission reports
from all the senior staff, stuff on Atlantis...

42
00:02:40,854 --> 00:02:43,687
- All that. One second?
- 1.3.

43
00:02:43,854 --> 00:02:47,767
If I finesse the compression ratios,
you'll be looking for things to add.

44
00:02:53,294 --> 00:02:55,364
- Do it.
- Doing it.

45
00:03:09,614 --> 00:03:13,892
Elizabeth, you realise that if Stargate
Command was able to send help...

46
00:03:14,054 --> 00:03:16,045
I know. They would have.

47
00:03:16,214 --> 00:03:20,651
But we must report what we've learned
here, about Atlantis, about the Ancients.

48
00:03:20,814 --> 00:03:23,567
- The Wraith.
- Exactly. We have to warn Earth.

49
00:03:23,734 --> 00:03:28,125
- Even if it's the last thing we do?
- Especially if it's the last thing we do.

50
00:04:32,054 --> 00:04:34,522
They don't seem threatening
as dots on a screen.

51
00:04:34,694 --> 00:04:38,164
We need to do recon
and see what we're up against first-hand.

52
00:04:38,334 --> 00:04:40,290
- How?
- I've tracked their progress.

53
00:04:40,454 --> 00:04:44,003
The Wraith ships
go in and out of hyperspace periodically,

54
00:04:44,174 --> 00:04:46,290
because their technology is limited...

55
00:04:46,454 --> 00:04:51,767
- Or they're stopping to feed along the way.
- The point is, the pattern is predictable.

56
00:04:51,934 --> 00:04:55,165
I can guess with some certainty
that they'll be making stops

57
00:04:55,334 --> 00:04:58,212
here, here, and here.

58
00:04:58,374 --> 00:05:02,208
The ships are light years away. How
will you reach them by puddle jumper?

59
00:05:02,374 --> 00:05:05,969
We take a route where Zelenka thinks
they'll drop out of hyperspace

60
00:05:06,134 --> 00:05:08,125
and we watch them pass by.

61
00:05:08,294 --> 00:05:10,808
- That's good.
- You know, I have my moments.

62
00:05:10,974 --> 00:05:13,807
Teyla and I were just deciding
which planet to go to.

63
00:05:13,974 --> 00:05:16,124
I know the people of this world.

64
00:05:16,294 --> 00:05:20,082
Their Stargate is in the open
and so accessible by ship.

65
00:05:20,254 --> 00:05:23,769
You can remain undetected by the Wraith
as they go by your position?

66
00:05:23,934 --> 00:05:26,164
Stealth mode.
They won't know we're there.

67
00:05:26,334 --> 00:05:30,725
OK, go, get what intel you can, and get
back before Rodney sends his message.

68
00:05:30,894 --> 00:05:33,806
- I need you here.
- Won't even stop at the duty free.

69
00:05:57,134 --> 00:06:00,570
If you get the idea to take
the Wraith ships on yourself, Major,

70
00:06:00,734 --> 00:06:02,531
I am hereby ordering you not to.

71
00:06:02,694 --> 00:06:04,924
- Believe me, you don't have to.
- Still...

72
00:06:05,094 --> 00:06:09,610
Don't take on an alien armada
single-handedly. Understood.

73
00:06:25,694 --> 00:06:28,492
Father, Teyla's here!

74
00:06:38,654 --> 00:06:42,010
- Teyla.
- Orin. It has been many days.

75
00:06:42,174 --> 00:06:45,723
Too many. Look at you.
You're so different.

76
00:06:45,894 --> 00:06:49,933
Much has changed since my last visit.

77
00:06:50,094 --> 00:06:54,246
- This is Major John Sheppard... and Orin.
- Pleased to meet you, uh...

78
00:06:55,734 --> 00:06:59,693
- The harvest is still months away.
- Yes, I know.

79
00:06:59,854 --> 00:07:02,971
We have not come to trade,
but to deliver a warning.

80
00:07:03,814 --> 00:07:06,248
We believe the Wraith
may be on their way.

81
00:07:07,014 --> 00:07:09,528
We don't know that,
but we're about to find out.

82
00:07:09,694 --> 00:07:12,766
Yes.
It seems they're awakening everywhere.

83
00:07:12,934 --> 00:07:16,051
Tell your people to take precautions
in case they do come.

84
00:07:16,214 --> 00:07:19,763
I will, but you know as well as I do, Teyla,

85
00:07:19,934 --> 00:07:22,732
that the Wraith will track us down
wherever we go.

86
00:07:22,894 --> 00:07:26,284
- There will be no escape.
- What about through the Stargate?

87
00:07:26,454 --> 00:07:30,766
The cullings are taking place
on many worlds. None are safe.

88
00:07:30,934 --> 00:07:32,890
Even we have taken in refugees.

89
00:07:33,774 --> 00:07:36,129
If they do come, stay far from the Stargate.

90
00:07:36,294 --> 00:07:40,606
Take your family to the far tree line there
and wait for us.

91
00:07:40,774 --> 00:07:43,766
- Teyla.
- One family, Major. That is all I ask.

92
00:07:48,374 --> 00:07:53,448
- I'm sorry, Orin, I can't make that promise.
- It will be the very least we can do.

93
00:07:57,174 --> 00:07:59,813
- If there's time.
- (Teyla) Then we must hurry.

94
00:08:08,334 --> 00:08:10,973
Children, we must prepare.

95
00:08:11,134 --> 00:08:14,251
We have our city specs, mission reports

96
00:08:14,414 --> 00:08:17,724
and tactical assessments all ready to go.
What else?

97
00:08:17,894 --> 00:08:21,728
I've included data we've been able
to decipher from the Ancient database.

98
00:08:21,894 --> 00:08:24,692
Really? That is incredible.

99
00:08:24,854 --> 00:08:29,405
- My algorithm is extraordinarily efficient.
- Oh, please.

100
00:08:29,574 --> 00:08:32,850
It must be in order to fit all that data
into 1.3 seconds.

101
00:08:33,014 --> 00:08:35,164
.3 seconds, actually.

102
00:08:35,334 --> 00:08:39,486
- We have a whole extra second to fill?
- Mm. A whole extra one, yes.

103
00:08:44,174 --> 00:08:46,734
Is it enough
to include personal messages?

104
00:08:46,894 --> 00:08:52,605
Uh... sure. I mean, several hours of video.
Much more if it was strictly audio.

105
00:08:52,774 --> 00:08:55,925
I think it'd do wonders for morale.
Especially now.

106
00:08:56,094 --> 00:08:58,813
I could tell my grandma
what I've been up to.

107
00:08:58,974 --> 00:09:01,249
If your grandmother
had security clearance.

108
00:09:01,414 --> 00:09:05,043
But for now you can tell her
that you're well and that you miss her.

109
00:09:05,214 --> 00:09:09,207
This is all very charming,
but I have work to do. Shouldn't I, um...?

110
00:09:09,374 --> 00:09:12,411
Lieutenant,
maybe you'd like to handle this.

111
00:09:12,574 --> 00:09:16,362
Give everybody a few minutes
to send a message to their loved ones.

112
00:09:16,534 --> 00:09:19,367
- I'd love to, ma'am.
- Off you go.

113
00:09:22,734 --> 00:09:25,851
When Zelenka and I tie
Jumper Four's engines into the grid,

114
00:09:26,014 --> 00:09:29,006
- we'll be able to do a low-power dry run.
- Good.

115
00:09:29,174 --> 00:09:30,971
- Rodney?
- Mm?

116
00:09:31,134 --> 00:09:33,967
- You don't want to send a message?
- You know what?

117
00:09:34,134 --> 00:09:37,444
Maybe with all my spare time,
I'll record a message myself.

118
00:09:37,614 --> 00:09:40,492
- You?
- Yes.

119
00:09:41,974 --> 00:09:44,772
Good, good.

120
00:09:50,974 --> 00:09:53,613
This wasn't supposed to be
a rescue mission.

121
00:09:53,774 --> 00:09:57,972
- Orin was a good friend of my father.
- I agreed to warn him.

122
00:09:58,134 --> 00:10:03,049
If someone close to your family, a dear
friend, was in danger from the Wraith,

123
00:10:03,214 --> 00:10:07,844
- would you have not done the same?
- Not if it jeopardised the mission.

124
00:10:08,014 --> 00:10:11,131
So we give up that
which makes us different from the Wraith?

125
00:10:11,294 --> 00:10:17,893
I agreed to stop and pick him up if there
was time, but only if there was time.

126
00:10:18,054 --> 00:10:20,727
I'd like to be saving everyone
in the damn galaxy.

127
00:10:20,894 --> 00:10:25,092
- It's just one man and his children.
- I agreed to help if there was time.

128
00:10:27,254 --> 00:10:29,609
You can only fight the battles you can win.

129
00:10:35,294 --> 00:10:37,444
(Sheppard) Whoa.

130
00:11:08,934 --> 00:11:11,846
Let me get this thing turned around.

131
00:11:17,654 --> 00:11:20,452
They're heading for the planet.

132
00:11:25,094 --> 00:11:27,528
(Ford) OK, recording. Plenty of battery.

133
00:11:27,694 --> 00:11:31,323
So why am I not seeing anything?
Oh... stupid.

134
00:11:43,974 --> 00:11:45,771
OK.

135
00:11:45,934 --> 00:11:48,812
Hi, Grandma, Grandpa.

136
00:11:48,974 --> 00:11:51,613
It's me, Aiden... obviously.

137
00:11:51,774 --> 00:11:55,972
I'm talking to you
from a place far, far from home.

138
00:11:56,134 --> 00:11:59,331
I'm good, though.
You don't have to worry.

139
00:11:59,494 --> 00:12:03,203
Life here is... pretty routine.

140
00:12:13,014 --> 00:12:17,087
I'm hoping that I'll be able
to get home sometime soon,

141
00:12:17,254 --> 00:12:20,530
but, you know,
if... if I'm stuck here a while,

142
00:12:21,854 --> 00:12:24,163
I want you to know that I'm good.

143
00:12:24,334 --> 00:12:27,963
I'm doing things...
I'm seeing things I never thought I'd see.

144
00:12:42,574 --> 00:12:45,725
I wish I could tell you all about it.
Who knows?

145
00:12:45,894 --> 00:12:48,408
One day, maybe, I'll be able to,

146
00:12:48,574 --> 00:12:52,726
but I want you both to know...
that you're right here.

147
00:12:54,374 --> 00:12:56,968
Always. All the time.

148
00:13:02,094 --> 00:13:05,086
Even flying full out,
we're just ahead of the armada.

149
00:13:05,254 --> 00:13:08,485
- I can't risk putting down for Orin.
- I see.

150
00:13:10,414 --> 00:13:14,930
I'm gonna take us out of stealth mode
for the pass-through. Dial the gate.

151
00:13:17,774 --> 00:13:20,527
Hang on. Incoming wormhole.

152
00:13:27,014 --> 00:13:31,530
The Wraith dial in to prevent victims from
using the Stargate as a means of escape.

153
00:13:31,694 --> 00:13:33,286
So we're stuck here.

154
00:13:33,454 --> 00:13:36,924
Once the ship is rendered invisible again,
we will be safe.

155
00:13:37,094 --> 00:13:40,325
I need to get the intel
about the Wraith fleet to Atlantis.

156
00:13:40,494 --> 00:13:44,169
They will keep dialling in through the night
at the very least,

157
00:13:44,334 --> 00:13:48,009
but if we wait where
I told Orin and his family to meet us...

158
00:13:48,174 --> 00:13:50,529
That's where I'm headed.

159
00:13:58,534 --> 00:14:00,525
I'm not very good at this.

160
00:14:00,694 --> 00:14:03,413
(Ford) The only people to see it
will be your family.

161
00:14:03,574 --> 00:14:07,647
- Aye, and you and the US military.
- Well, give it a shot.

162
00:14:07,814 --> 00:14:11,170
- What shall I say?
- Uh... Uh...

163
00:14:11,334 --> 00:14:15,168
- "I miss you. I wish you were here."
- I wish who was here?

164
00:14:15,334 --> 00:14:18,371
- Who do you wish was here?
- Nobody. I wish I wasn't!

165
00:14:18,534 --> 00:14:20,525
I've got a lot of people to get to.

166
00:14:20,694 --> 00:14:26,451
(sighs) All right, er...
I suppose I could say hello to my mother.

167
00:14:26,614 --> 00:14:29,731
Good. There you go. All right, you ready?

168
00:14:29,894 --> 00:14:32,852
- (clears throat)
- OK, go.

169
00:14:33,014 --> 00:14:36,848
Hello, Mum.
I hope this message finds you well.

170
00:14:37,814 --> 00:14:40,533
I trust your petunias
are in full bloom by now.

171
00:14:40,694 --> 00:14:43,128
I hope you're keeping up
with that ointment.

172
00:14:43,294 --> 00:14:48,288
If you've adhered to the regime,
the fungus should have cleared up by now.

173
00:14:48,454 --> 00:14:50,888
- What's wrong?
- Dude, fungus?

174
00:14:51,054 --> 00:14:54,126
On her toenails.
You said no one would watch this.

175
00:14:54,294 --> 00:14:57,092
- Yeah, but fungus?
- What, then, shall I talk about?

176
00:14:57,254 --> 00:15:00,929
- It's your mother. Tell her you love her.
- I can't. I get emotional.

177
00:15:01,094 --> 00:15:04,769
- So?
- She's very delicate, my mother.

178
00:15:04,934 --> 00:15:08,768
As sweet a soul as you'll ever meet,
as pure as the driven snow.

179
00:15:08,934 --> 00:15:11,687
If I get upset, she'll get upset.
I can't have that.

180
00:15:11,854 --> 00:15:16,006
We're not live. If you don't like
what we put on tape, we can do it again.

181
00:15:16,174 --> 00:15:18,688
- We can?
- Sure.

182
00:15:18,854 --> 00:15:23,166
Oh. Well, I suppose I could do that, then.

183
00:15:23,334 --> 00:15:25,325
All right.

184
00:15:25,494 --> 00:15:28,008
Here we go.

185
00:15:28,174 --> 00:15:30,768
Um... Mum...

186
00:15:35,494 --> 00:15:37,485
I miss you terribly.

187
00:15:41,814 --> 00:15:43,611
I can't do this!

188
00:15:55,814 --> 00:15:58,328
Come on, Orin, show up.

189
00:16:01,734 --> 00:16:03,133
What?

190
00:16:03,294 --> 00:16:05,683
Not long ago,
you would have left him behind.

191
00:16:05,854 --> 00:16:07,970
Well, the situation has changed.

192
00:16:11,414 --> 00:16:14,804
Lieutenant Ford suggested
we steal from a community of children.

193
00:16:14,974 --> 00:16:17,932
They have a ZPM
and we can bring them back.

194
00:16:18,094 --> 00:16:20,164
Only to face death in Atlantis?

195
00:16:20,334 --> 00:16:25,010
Ford and I are military. We've spent
a lot of our lives learning how to survive.

196
00:16:25,174 --> 00:16:27,483
I have spent my life surviving the Wraith.

197
00:16:27,654 --> 00:16:31,090
Part of that training is knowing
who you can and can't save.

198
00:16:31,254 --> 00:16:33,404
And that decision is yours alone?

199
00:16:33,574 --> 00:16:38,728
I said that I'd wait for your friend
if there was time. Now there's time.

200
00:16:38,894 --> 00:16:43,763
- What else do you want from me?
- Too much, I fear.

201
00:16:46,574 --> 00:16:50,965
- It's gonna be a long night.
- (whirring)

202
00:16:55,094 --> 00:16:56,891
(speaking Czech)

203
00:16:57,054 --> 00:17:01,366
Failsafe.
(continues speaking Czech)

204
00:17:56,374 --> 00:18:00,492
(Ford) You didn't say anything that
would require security clearance, did you?

205
00:18:00,654 --> 00:18:02,884
Security clearance?

206
00:18:11,454 --> 00:18:15,652
- This is hard to sit and watch.
- There's nothing we can do.

207
00:18:15,814 --> 00:18:19,727
We could do a lot.
It would just be the last thing we ever do.

208
00:18:19,894 --> 00:18:22,966
We are far outnumbered
and the gate is still inaccessible.

209
00:18:24,534 --> 00:18:28,891
But if we save Orin and his family,
we will have done something.

210
00:18:30,774 --> 00:18:32,765
Something.

211
00:18:36,734 --> 00:18:38,531
I'm gonna miss you, kiddo.

212
00:18:38,694 --> 00:18:41,606
I can't wait to take you
to a basketball game

213
00:18:41,774 --> 00:18:45,926
and watch Kobe and Shaq
take another title home for the Lakers.

214
00:18:50,134 --> 00:18:51,533
That's it.

215
00:18:52,694 --> 00:18:55,925
- That's it?
- What else am I gonna say to a kid?

216
00:18:56,094 --> 00:18:58,483
- It's your brother.
- I may not see him again.

217
00:18:58,654 --> 00:19:01,646
- Why make it any worse?
- That's not what this is about.

218
00:19:01,814 --> 00:19:04,647
That's exactly what this is about.

219
00:19:06,454 --> 00:19:09,810
Don't sweat it. I'm happy
I got the chance to say goodbye.

220
00:19:09,974 --> 00:19:13,205
- Yeah, but you didn't say it.
- Not in so many words.

221
00:19:20,654 --> 00:19:23,214
- Lieutenant Ford.
- Ready to record your message?

222
00:19:23,374 --> 00:19:27,128
Already done. Actually, I took the liberty
of doing mine in private.

223
00:19:27,294 --> 00:19:29,728
- Now, it may require some editing.
- Editing?

224
00:19:29,894 --> 00:19:32,328
Yeah, I went on a bit.
I used the entire tape.

225
00:19:32,494 --> 00:19:35,133
- You talked for an hour?
- I found it therapeutic.

226
00:19:35,294 --> 00:19:37,933
I've come up with
several valuable insights,

227
00:19:38,094 --> 00:19:42,804
but I've only slept six hours
in the last few days, so, um...

228
00:19:42,974 --> 00:19:45,329
- Who's it for?
- Humanity, my sister...

229
00:19:45,494 --> 00:19:47,803
I don't expect you to cut it down too much.

230
00:19:47,974 --> 00:19:50,807
There is gold in here.
So just make sure mine's last.

231
00:19:50,974 --> 00:19:55,570
If the gate holds the connection,
we won't have wasted the time.

232
00:19:55,734 --> 00:19:59,329
- Well, I'll look forward to it.
- Well, enjoy.

233
00:20:00,454 --> 00:20:02,445
Gold.

234
00:20:09,214 --> 00:20:10,806
(clears throat)

235
00:20:10,974 --> 00:20:14,603
And in five... four... three...

236
00:20:16,734 --> 00:20:18,725
This is Dr Rodney McKay speaking

237
00:20:18,894 --> 00:20:21,806
from my base of operations
in the lost city of Atlantis,

238
00:20:21,974 --> 00:20:25,444
located deep within the Pegasus galaxy.

239
00:20:25,614 --> 00:20:29,971
I record this message
on the eve of our darkest hour.

240
00:20:30,134 --> 00:20:33,763
As I speak, an alien armada
of biblical proportions is on its way,

241
00:20:33,934 --> 00:20:39,088
bent - dare I say hell-bent, in keeping
with the metaphor - on our destruction.

242
00:20:39,254 --> 00:20:42,007
We will do our best
to stave off their attack,

243
00:20:42,174 --> 00:20:45,132
but I am afraid that defeat
is all but inevitable.

244
00:20:45,294 --> 00:20:51,449
I and the other members of my team
face the most horrific deaths imaginable

245
00:20:51,614 --> 00:20:58,326
as our very lives are... are sucked
from our chests in a... in a... horrific...

246
00:20:59,774 --> 00:21:02,129
OK, um...
OK, starting again, starting again.

247
00:21:02,294 --> 00:21:04,728
Um, Ford, just cut that, all right?

248
00:21:06,294 --> 00:21:08,330
What about, uh...?

249
00:21:14,254 --> 00:21:17,690
- What is that?
- I've never seen such a thing.

250
00:21:21,134 --> 00:21:23,887
- I'm gonna check it out.
- You may be discovered.

251
00:21:24,054 --> 00:21:26,045
- I'll make a point not to.
- Major.

252
00:21:26,214 --> 00:21:28,523
I just want to see whatever that is.

253
00:21:28,694 --> 00:21:31,333
Just stay here
until Orin and his family show up.

254
00:21:39,774 --> 00:21:42,004
(distant shouting)

255
00:21:48,814 --> 00:21:50,805
And in five, four, three...

256
00:21:50,974 --> 00:21:52,566
(clears throat)

257
00:21:52,734 --> 00:21:56,283
My friends, I'm Dr Rodney McKay
of the Atlantis expedition,

258
00:21:56,454 --> 00:21:59,526
and as the facts of our heroic struggle
against the Wraith

259
00:21:59,694 --> 00:22:02,766
and our untimely demise
are already known to you,

260
00:22:02,934 --> 00:22:07,212
in that light,
I'd like to pass along some final thoughts.

261
00:22:08,574 --> 00:22:13,364
Now, my extensive education, training
and experience in the field of astrophysics

262
00:22:13,534 --> 00:22:16,765
has given me a unique perspective
that few on Earth,

263
00:22:16,934 --> 00:22:20,722
or, well, on any other planet,
for that matter, can match.

264
00:22:20,894 --> 00:22:25,285
I'd like to take a few moments now
to pass along that perspective to you.

265
00:22:25,454 --> 00:22:29,891
I'll begin with a few observations
on a subject

266
00:22:30,054 --> 00:22:32,727
that is both near and dear to my heart.

267
00:22:34,254 --> 00:22:36,245
Leadership.

268
00:22:36,414 --> 00:22:40,453
Mr and Mrs Markham,
my name is Dr Elizabeth Weir,

269
00:22:40,614 --> 00:22:43,082
and your son
was a member of my expedition team.

270
00:22:45,614 --> 00:22:47,764
It is with deep regret that I inform you

271
00:22:47,934 --> 00:22:51,927
that he was killed in the line of duty
just a few days ago.

272
00:22:52,094 --> 00:22:56,849
He died in the defence of others, and
his sacrifice may have saved many lives...

273
00:22:57,014 --> 00:22:59,608
...and her keen curiosity
are some of the qualities

274
00:22:59,774 --> 00:23:05,132
that your daughter displayed during
her duties as a scientist on my team.

275
00:23:05,294 --> 00:23:09,173
She and several of her colleagues
died suddenly just a few weeks ago.

276
00:23:09,334 --> 00:23:12,167
I am not at liberty
to reveal the cause of her death,

277
00:23:12,334 --> 00:23:14,894
but I can tell you
that during her time here,

278
00:23:15,054 --> 00:23:18,808
Dr Dumais was a part
of something very profound.

279
00:23:18,974 --> 00:23:22,603
She saw and did things
she never would have dreamed of...

280
00:23:22,774 --> 00:23:25,447
He died bravely, while defending others.

281
00:23:25,614 --> 00:23:28,492
I confess I didn't know him
as well as I could have,

282
00:23:28,654 --> 00:23:32,613
but I know he was well liked
and respected among his peers.

283
00:23:32,774 --> 00:23:36,767
And I was told of how often
he spoke of his family.

284
00:23:38,014 --> 00:23:39,845
I do wish I could tell you more.

285
00:23:42,374 --> 00:23:45,684
I'm sure you understand,
as a military family.

286
00:23:54,254 --> 00:23:56,404
Are you done, ma'am?

287
00:23:58,534 --> 00:24:01,606
Just give me a moment,
please, Lieutenant.

288
00:24:01,774 --> 00:24:04,368
I am keeping busy with my job.

289
00:24:04,534 --> 00:24:09,528
I work hard, like everyone else,
to ensure the success of this expedition,

290
00:24:09,694 --> 00:24:12,208
and to please
the leader of our science team...

291
00:24:12,374 --> 00:24:16,049
No, no, no, no, no. This sequence first,
and then the secondary code.

292
00:24:16,214 --> 00:24:18,967
Unless you're trying to blow us up.
If so, good work.

293
00:24:19,134 --> 00:24:23,889
He does not always remember my name,
but I have enjoyed working for him.

294
00:24:24,054 --> 00:24:27,444
What is this? Kiwi?
Who made this? Did you make this?

295
00:24:27,614 --> 00:24:30,333
He's a very honourable and brave man.

296
00:24:30,494 --> 00:24:34,806
Ow! Ow! OK, cramp,
cramp, cramp, cramp, cramp... Ow!

297
00:24:34,974 --> 00:24:38,683
Until then I will continue
to serve at his pleasure.

298
00:24:38,854 --> 00:24:42,369
I once caught mono
kissing a girl in algebra club.

299
00:24:42,534 --> 00:24:44,729
I missed an entire month of school.

300
00:24:44,894 --> 00:24:49,410
Still, the kiss was... something,
so it was probably worth it.

301
00:24:50,574 --> 00:24:52,610
April Bingham. Cute blonde.

302
00:24:52,774 --> 00:24:58,406
God, see, I love blondes. Especially
with the, uh... the short hair. Mm...

303
00:25:01,334 --> 00:25:05,930
Samantha Carter, if you're watching,
the torch is still burning.

304
00:25:06,094 --> 00:25:08,449
Sadly, soon to be extinguished,

305
00:25:08,614 --> 00:25:14,450
but, you know,
you should know I think you are just so...

306
00:25:14,614 --> 00:25:16,013
(sighs)

307
00:25:16,174 --> 00:25:19,166
Well, you're great,
you're really, really great,

308
00:25:19,334 --> 00:25:22,724
and you're the hottest scientist
I've ever worked with.

309
00:25:22,894 --> 00:25:26,489
There's probably not a night
that goes by that I don't find myself...

310
00:25:26,654 --> 00:25:28,963
OK, Ford, let's lose that,

311
00:25:29,134 --> 00:25:35,482
and let's get back to, uh... leadership.

312
00:25:44,054 --> 00:25:46,409
(distant shouting)

313
00:25:56,654 --> 00:25:59,327
(man) Run, children! Run!

314
00:25:59,494 --> 00:26:01,530
(woman screaming)

315
00:26:11,854 --> 00:26:13,970
(man) Hurry!

316
00:26:34,334 --> 00:26:37,565
- Who will be watching this?
- Anyone you're sending it to.

317
00:26:37,734 --> 00:26:39,725
Family, friends, loved ones.

318
00:26:39,894 --> 00:26:44,092
- Will anyone from Atlantis be viewing it?
- No, messages are private.

319
00:26:44,254 --> 00:26:47,326
- You can get as mushy as you want.
- All right.

320
00:26:48,294 --> 00:26:53,527
Uh, this is a message for General
Jack O'Neill of Stargate Command.

321
00:26:53,694 --> 00:26:57,846
It is my duty to inform you of what I
consider to be serious errors in judgement

322
00:26:58,014 --> 00:27:02,724
among the leaders of this expedition,
most notably Dr Elizabeth Weir.

323
00:27:02,894 --> 00:27:05,567
Her actions have
repeatedly and recklessly

324
00:27:05,734 --> 00:27:08,726
exposed the people of this expedition
to extreme danger,

325
00:27:08,894 --> 00:27:13,126
leading us directly to the grave situation
we currently find ourselves in.

326
00:27:13,294 --> 00:27:15,012
You know what?

327
00:27:15,174 --> 00:27:17,529
How about you record
your whining in private?

328
00:27:17,694 --> 00:27:20,492
Fine.

329
00:27:23,454 --> 00:27:28,050
I've recorded her questionable activities,
which I would like to detail for you now.

330
00:27:34,054 --> 00:27:37,808
(man in distance) Quickly! Quickly!

331
00:27:49,374 --> 00:27:52,207
(man) Run for the trees!

332
00:28:02,414 --> 00:28:05,963
Never cared for dogs. Too much work,
too needy, too unpredictable.

333
00:28:06,134 --> 00:28:08,967
You leave one door open
and they're gone.

334
00:28:09,134 --> 00:28:10,931
You look for them, it's no use,

335
00:28:11,094 --> 00:28:13,733
and since your father
refused to buy a licence,

336
00:28:13,894 --> 00:28:16,328
the animal shelter can't track them.

337
00:28:16,494 --> 00:28:18,962
God knows what happened
to that little guy.

338
00:28:19,134 --> 00:28:21,807
Now, cats...
now, that's a whole different story.

339
00:28:21,974 --> 00:28:26,013
Cats are self-sufficient, dependable.
You shake the box, they come running.

340
00:28:26,174 --> 00:28:30,326
A cynic would say it's because of the food,
but my cat, he enjoys my company.

341
00:28:30,494 --> 00:28:32,724
It's very comforting
to come home from work

342
00:28:32,894 --> 00:28:35,692
and have a familiar face waiting for you.

343
00:28:35,854 --> 00:28:38,243
Still, I digress. Where was I?

344
00:28:38,414 --> 00:28:43,090
Uh... right. Leadership.

345
00:28:50,814 --> 00:28:53,533
(distant shouting)

346
00:28:59,694 --> 00:29:02,003
(man in distance) Keep going! Keep going!

347
00:29:18,894 --> 00:29:21,044
(Teyla) Over here!

348
00:29:21,214 --> 00:29:25,173
It is all right. I am a friend.
Please, hurry. This way.

349
00:29:25,334 --> 00:29:27,325
Hurry. This way.

350
00:29:42,694 --> 00:29:46,369
- How many of you are left?
- I don't know. The Wraith are everywhere.

351
00:29:46,534 --> 00:29:49,128
Here, drink this. It is water.

352
00:29:49,294 --> 00:29:52,491
Orin... Have you seen him?

353
00:29:52,654 --> 00:29:55,771
Not since before the Wraith arrived.
Thank you.

354
00:29:57,934 --> 00:30:01,210
- We must go. The Wraith will find us.
- No, they will not.

355
00:30:01,374 --> 00:30:05,253
Our ship has a shield which makes it
invisible to them. You are safe here.

356
00:30:05,414 --> 00:30:07,928
Just rest.

357
00:30:08,094 --> 00:30:10,085
We will leave soon.

358
00:30:19,134 --> 00:30:24,049
I'd like to say something to the families
of every member of this expedition.

359
00:30:25,534 --> 00:30:29,288
I wish I could tell you more
about what your loved ones are doing,

360
00:30:29,454 --> 00:30:34,084
and someday I hope you find out,
because you will be amazed,

361
00:30:35,734 --> 00:30:41,809
but I will tell you that I could not be more
proud of each and every one of them.

362
00:30:41,974 --> 00:30:44,932
Their heroism has amazed me.

363
00:31:08,934 --> 00:31:11,448
Their resourcefulness has staggered me.

364
00:31:19,574 --> 00:31:21,451
- Rodney, go!
- Going!

365
00:31:25,454 --> 00:31:27,445
Now!

366
00:31:32,414 --> 00:31:35,565
We face a terrible enemy
and an uncertain future,

367
00:31:36,694 --> 00:31:39,049
but if we are never heard from again,

368
00:31:39,214 --> 00:31:43,253
know that your loved ones
did not face that uncertainty alone.

369
00:31:44,254 --> 00:31:47,087
We are facing our future together.

370
00:31:49,774 --> 00:31:51,924
(distant shouting)

371
00:32:07,134 --> 00:32:09,125
Major.

372
00:32:12,174 --> 00:32:14,893
It's pretty ugly out there.

373
00:32:15,054 --> 00:32:17,693
- Is this Orin's family?
- No.

374
00:32:19,734 --> 00:32:22,248
They have not seen Orin
since the culling began.

375
00:32:22,414 --> 00:32:25,451
The village is wiped out.

376
00:32:33,694 --> 00:32:36,845
- (whirring)
- The gate just shut off.

377
00:32:38,134 --> 00:32:41,922
We should be able to get out of here
before the Wraith can do anything.

378
00:32:42,094 --> 00:32:44,608
Please, Major. Give Orin more time.

379
00:32:44,774 --> 00:32:49,723
If he was able to get here, he would be
here by now. We've got to get back.

380
00:32:49,894 --> 00:32:53,728
Go. I will stay and search in the daylight.
You can return for me later.

381
00:32:53,894 --> 00:32:56,533
- You can't do that.
- I consider Orin as family.

382
00:32:56,694 --> 00:33:00,209
- I am sorry if you do not understand...
- That's not the point...

383
00:33:00,374 --> 00:33:04,083
With you or without you, I am staying.

384
00:33:05,774 --> 00:33:09,164
You won't make it.

385
00:33:09,334 --> 00:33:12,485
Then I ask that you stay as well,
just a little longer.

386
00:33:14,534 --> 00:33:16,650
Allow something good to come of this.

387
00:33:20,614 --> 00:33:23,082
All right. We'll give it a little more time.

388
00:33:30,334 --> 00:33:32,689
I know you worry about me, Mum,

389
00:33:32,854 --> 00:33:35,971
but somehow we've found a way
to rise to each challenge,

390
00:33:36,134 --> 00:33:38,204
so I wouldn't fret about my safety.

391
00:33:38,374 --> 00:33:42,890
It's the people here, from dozens of
countries, all connected by a single bond.

392
00:33:43,054 --> 00:33:45,170
We represent the people of Earth,

393
00:33:45,334 --> 00:33:50,089
and if there's one thing I know about
we Earthlings, we're a scrappy bunch...

394
00:33:50,254 --> 00:33:53,883
(Ford) You can't say Earthlings.
Your mother doesn't have clearance.

395
00:33:54,054 --> 00:33:56,887
She knows I'm from Earth.
It's not a bloody secret.

396
00:33:57,054 --> 00:33:59,693
- Oh, right.
- Sorry, Mum. Anyhow...

397
00:33:59,854 --> 00:34:02,812
Authorised using a prisoner
to test an experimental drug,

398
00:34:02,974 --> 00:34:05,204
in clear violation
of the Geneva Convention.

399
00:34:05,374 --> 00:34:07,171
Lowered the Stargate shield

400
00:34:07,334 --> 00:34:10,610
when the authenticity
of incoming travellers was in question.

401
00:34:10,774 --> 00:34:13,413
That's another sight
I'll die without having seen.

402
00:34:13,574 --> 00:34:15,690
When you've travelled as much as I have,

403
00:34:15,854 --> 00:34:19,005
you'd think that missing Niagara Falls
would be no big deal.

404
00:34:19,174 --> 00:34:21,290
There's a lot of movies I wish I'd seen.

405
00:34:21,454 --> 00:34:24,526
Never saw Grease, even though
I fancied Olivia Newton-John.

406
00:34:24,694 --> 00:34:29,245
Always wanted to see Gandhi.
Only saw the first half of The Sixth Sense.

407
00:34:31,014 --> 00:34:33,733
My sister...

408
00:34:33,894 --> 00:34:38,092
Ford, if you cut everything else,
just, um... keep this part, OK?

409
00:34:39,454 --> 00:34:41,843
Jeannie, it's your brother, Rodney.

410
00:34:42,894 --> 00:34:44,885
Obviously.

411
00:34:45,054 --> 00:34:47,249
I want to say, um...

412
00:34:48,814 --> 00:34:50,884
I want to say something. Uh...

413
00:34:52,614 --> 00:34:55,253
Family is important.

414
00:34:55,414 --> 00:34:58,850
I've come to realise that, because
the people here have become a...

415
00:34:59,014 --> 00:35:01,369
kind of a surrogate family to me.

416
00:35:01,534 --> 00:35:05,846
I know I've never really been
the poster child for that kind of sentiment,

417
00:35:06,014 --> 00:35:11,088
but when one's contemplating one's
own demise, one sees things more clearly.

418
00:35:13,374 --> 00:35:17,492
I really do wish you the best, you know,
and I'm sorry we weren't closer.

419
00:35:17,654 --> 00:35:23,411
Perhaps, um...
if by chance I make it out of this,

420
00:35:23,574 --> 00:35:26,407
perhaps one day we can be,
and I would like that.

421
00:35:27,974 --> 00:35:33,810
Now, if there's time, I'd like
to go back to the subject of leadership.

422
00:35:35,294 --> 00:35:37,933
Someone's coming.

423
00:35:51,894 --> 00:35:53,691
Orin!

424
00:35:54,534 --> 00:35:56,809
- Orin!
- How big is his family?

425
00:35:56,974 --> 00:35:59,613
- He must have met others.
- That'll be a problem.

426
00:35:59,774 --> 00:36:02,971
- I didn't think you'd be here.
- We would not have left you.

427
00:36:03,134 --> 00:36:06,046
We found others on the way,
and more further behind.

428
00:36:06,214 --> 00:36:09,331
- How many more?
- 12, perhaps more.

429
00:36:09,494 --> 00:36:13,043
In here! This way!

430
00:36:13,214 --> 00:36:15,170
Quickly!

431
00:36:15,334 --> 00:36:17,768
Wait, wait, wait, wait!

432
00:36:23,214 --> 00:36:26,570
- We'll fit as many people in as we can.
- Hurry! Come on!

433
00:36:27,934 --> 00:36:29,925
Straight ahead. Straight ahead.

434
00:36:34,494 --> 00:36:37,292
- Hurry.
- Come on!

435
00:36:37,454 --> 00:36:41,891
- Run!
- It's all right. It is all right.

436
00:36:44,414 --> 00:36:46,928
- Get down!
- (screaming)

437
00:37:02,294 --> 00:37:05,445
(man yells)

438
00:37:18,054 --> 00:37:21,046
- Are you all right?
- Yes. I'm fine.

439
00:37:48,414 --> 00:37:51,804
- Are our guests comfortably settled in?
- Yes.

440
00:37:51,974 --> 00:37:53,965
Good.

441
00:37:55,134 --> 00:38:00,003
- So tell me. How bad is it?
- Bad.

442
00:38:02,814 --> 00:38:05,282
Each hive ship acts like a carrier group,

443
00:38:05,454 --> 00:38:09,447
with cruisers
and hundreds of darts escorting it.

444
00:38:09,614 --> 00:38:13,050
Grodin's downloading the sensor readings
right now.

445
00:38:13,214 --> 00:38:15,853
I have never witnessed a culling
that took so many.

446
00:38:16,014 --> 00:38:18,972
We saved a few. That's worth something.

447
00:38:20,774 --> 00:38:23,129
Rodney, are we ready
to send our message?

448
00:38:23,294 --> 00:38:25,330
- When you are.
- OK.

449
00:38:32,814 --> 00:38:36,727
Lieutenant Ford is recording personal
messages from all the team members.

450
00:38:36,894 --> 00:38:39,692
- If you'd like...
- I'm good.

451
00:38:39,854 --> 00:38:41,173
OK.

452
00:38:41,334 --> 00:38:43,325
Along with a short note of my own,

453
00:38:43,494 --> 00:38:46,725
I recorded messages
to the families of the people we've lost.

454
00:38:46,894 --> 00:38:51,331
- That's a good idea.
- There's one I thought you'd like to do.

455
00:38:58,454 --> 00:39:01,173
(Ford) OK, whenever you're ready,
sir, go ahead.

456
00:39:01,334 --> 00:39:06,089
I'm not sure
if Colonel Sumner's parents are still alive.

457
00:39:06,254 --> 00:39:09,849
I'm not sure he even has a family
back there. Not all of us do.

458
00:39:10,014 --> 00:39:13,723
But if he does have a family,
they should know

459
00:39:13,894 --> 00:39:18,888
that he died with honour and courage
in the performance of his duty.

460
00:39:20,454 --> 00:39:24,049
He carried the burden of a leader
and he carried it well.

461
00:39:25,974 --> 00:39:31,492
I didn't get the chance to know him well,
but I know this.

462
00:39:32,494 --> 00:39:36,885
Considering the type of man he was
and what we're up against,

463
00:39:37,054 --> 00:39:39,249
yeah, I wish he was still here.

464
00:39:41,774 --> 00:39:45,403
Not a day goes by
that I don't think of you, Simon.

465
00:39:45,574 --> 00:39:51,524
There's so much I want to tell you
and share with you, but I can't.

466
00:39:54,054 --> 00:39:56,409
I know this is unfair.

467
00:39:56,574 --> 00:40:00,647
So much you don't know,
and putting your life on hold for me...

468
00:40:03,974 --> 00:40:06,044
so don't.

469
00:40:07,054 --> 00:40:10,410
All I ask is you take care of yourself,

470
00:40:10,574 --> 00:40:15,409
and know that, wherever you are,
my heart is looking after you.

471
00:40:16,654 --> 00:40:19,805
So take care of yourself, lots of sleep,

472
00:40:19,974 --> 00:40:24,604
remember your daily walks
and keep up with your prescription.

473
00:40:24,774 --> 00:40:26,571
Well, that's about it.

474
00:40:26,734 --> 00:40:28,929
I'll say goodbye now...

475
00:40:30,294 --> 00:40:33,570
and, Mum, I do love you.

476
00:40:33,734 --> 00:40:36,407
Bye, Grandma, Grandpa. I miss you.

477
00:40:36,574 --> 00:40:38,132
Goodbye, bro.

478
00:40:38,294 --> 00:40:40,728
(speaks Czech)

479
00:40:40,894 --> 00:40:42,805
Goodbye.

480
00:40:42,974 --> 00:40:44,930
Goodbye, Simon.

481
00:40:45,094 --> 00:40:47,562
Goodbye.

482
00:40:55,614 --> 00:40:58,333
We have unscheduled off-world activation.

483
00:40:58,494 --> 00:41:00,883
(woman) Linking now.

484
00:41:02,414 --> 00:41:05,486
Receiving transmission.

485
00:41:08,574 --> 00:41:10,690
Who's it from?

486
00:41:12,014 --> 00:41:14,767
Atlantis.
