1
00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:13,000
I'm just saying, as a team veteran, to the new guy,
heavy lunch before mission departure, bad idea.
2
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:15,920
And even with the inertial dampners, this whole
flying thing is best done on an empty stomach.
3
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,640
Yeah well, I've got a pretty strong stomach.
4
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,080
Hey, I can eat frozen dinners without thawing
and sometimes it doesn't even affects me.
5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,320
McKay!
6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,320
Are you reading anything?
7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,680
Nuthin'! Lifesigns from the planet are negative.
8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,040
Then it is a shame.
9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,760
From what we read in the Atlantis database,
the Durandens were a wonderful race of people.
10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,480
Well the database is over 10,000 years old.
You can bet things have changed around here.
11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:39,280
Sheppard...
12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,120
OK.
13
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,840
That's not something you see everyday.
14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,640
There was a great battle here.
15
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,640
That is a hive ship.
16
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,960
Well, it was a hive ship.
17
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,600
Something put a lot of holes in it, alright.
18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,600
We should check it out.
19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,960
What if whatever put holes in it
wants to put holes in us?
20
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,200
You just said a lot's changed in 10,000 years.
21
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,360
That would explain the lack of lifesigns.
22
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,480
This is what usually happens when you fight back.
23
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,720
These folks took out a fleet of Wraith ships.
I'd say they did a pretty good job of fighting back.
24
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,840
Hold on!
25
00:01:39,841 --> 00:01:43,121
We're picking up faint energy readings....from...
26
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:46,720
there.
27
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,400
That would explain how they were
able to put up such a good fight.
28
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,720
How?
29
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:55,960
Because,
30
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,040
they were Ancients.
31

33
00:03:19,540 --> 00:03:21,220
Definitely Ancient design.
34
00:03:21,260 --> 00:03:22,900
Their latest stuff, too.
35
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:25,780
Their latest being 10,000 years old.
36
00:03:25,820 --> 00:03:28,300
It's a lot like the labs we found on Atlantis.
37
00:03:28,580 --> 00:03:30,420
So this is one of their outposts?
38
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:34,500
Yet the Ancestors made no mention
of their presence here, in the database.
39
00:03:34,501 --> 00:03:35,501
Why?
40
00:03:35,580 --> 00:03:38,940
- Well, let's find out. Can you power it up?
- Working on it.
41
00:03:57,380 --> 00:03:59,380
I got two bodies here.
42
00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:05,460
I got three more over here.
43
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:09,300
Whatever happened here,
no-one came back to claim the dead.
44
00:04:14,460 --> 00:04:16,660
I can't tell if they were fed on by the Wraith.
45
00:04:16,700 --> 00:04:18,460
Yeah, something killed them.
46
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:20,500
Something killed everyone on this world.
47
00:04:20,540 --> 00:04:24,220
Why is this outpost,
if that's what it is, still intact?
48
00:04:24,260 --> 00:04:26,580
It doesn't make sense. What do you think Rodney?
49
00:04:28,380 --> 00:04:31,380
Sorry, I... wasn't listening,
but it just struck me that
50
00:04:31,420 --> 00:04:33,060
if this is an Ancient outpost,
51
00:04:33,180 --> 00:04:35,020
why would the Wraith leave it intact?
52
00:04:37,140 --> 00:04:38,980
That's a good question.
53
00:04:42,580 --> 00:04:43,660
Alright, let's see...
54
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:44,860
So...
55
00:04:49,060 --> 00:04:50,860
So it's a military research facility?
56
00:04:50,900 --> 00:04:54,820
From what we can tell, it's a ground based version of
the satellite weapon we used to destroy that hive ship.
57
00:04:54,860 --> 00:04:57,420
With one major exception. Fire power.
58
00:04:57,460 --> 00:05:00,460
I mean, if that single outpost was responsible
for destroying an entire Wraith fleet...
59
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:03,220
And you're sure it was this weapon
that destroyed all those Wraith ships?
60
00:05:03,260 --> 00:05:08,620
It had to be. There's nothing on
the planet that suggests the Durandens had anything
capable of inflicting anywhere near that much damage.
61
00:05:08,660 --> 00:05:11,860
If we could learn of such technology,
we could defend other worlds from being culled.
62
00:05:11,900 --> 00:05:13,220
It didn't save the Durandens.
63
00:05:13,260 --> 00:05:15,980
Yeah, but at the end of the day,
the outpost was still standing and that means...
64
00:05:16,020 --> 00:05:18,940
well I'm not sure what that means.
But it means something definitely worth finding out.
65
00:05:18,980 --> 00:05:20,780
- Colonel?
- He's right.
66
00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:22,660
It's definitely worth sending a research team back.
67
00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:26,380
Good! Well give me Optican, Collins and Zelenka,
if he's over the stomach flu.
68
00:05:26,420 --> 00:05:28,980
We'll try to access the computers log books.
See if we can decipher them and if that's...
69
00:05:29,020 --> 00:05:30,420
OK, OK.
70
00:05:30,460 --> 00:05:31,620
Easy sell.
71
00:05:31,660 --> 00:05:33,460
- Go!
- Oh good.
72
00:05:38,340 --> 00:05:39,740
Teyla...
73
00:05:39,780 --> 00:05:42,140
I heard you were heading offworld
on a personal mission.
74
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:44,900
- To Balkan, yes.
- Sounds interesting.
75
00:05:47,060 --> 00:05:53,620
The Balkans possess a particular
disease resistant strain of flax seed, which
would double the yield of our crops on the mainland.
76
00:05:53,660 --> 00:05:59,020
In exchange, I intend to offer
Athosian manpower to aid in their harvest.
77
00:06:00,020 --> 00:06:01,420
Still interested?
78
00:06:01,860 --> 00:06:05,380
This place has everything I want,
don't get me wrong, but...
79
00:06:05,420 --> 00:06:08,060
Sometimes you feel the need to go somewhere else.
80
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:10,700
- Anywhere else.
- I know the feeling.
81
00:06:10,900 --> 00:06:11,860
So?
82
00:06:12,860 --> 00:06:15,020
Bring only weapons you can conceal.
83
00:06:16,620 --> 00:06:18,620
I'll keep it to a bare minimum.
84
00:06:33,980 --> 00:06:36,540
I'm telling you, at least .09%.
85
00:06:36,580 --> 00:06:39,780
Oh please, please, move the decimal place.
I mean, it's, it's, it's impossible for God's sake.
86
00:06:39,820 --> 00:06:41,340
Have you figured out what this is?
87
00:06:41,380 --> 00:06:44,220
- No.
- No, I wouldn't say no. No, we have a theory.
- Well, we don't know yet.
88
00:06:44,260 --> 00:06:46,860
No, but based on the shielding around
the chamber, what else could it be?
89
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:48,700
Have you tried turning it on?
90
00:06:48,740 --> 00:06:51,660
That's what we're working on.
The problem is that there's no direct link between it
91
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:57,500
and the main power control systems,
which among other things has led us to theorize that
it's an instrument to power up the weapons systems.
92
00:06:57,540 --> 00:06:59,500
- Cool!
- See that? You see?
93
00:06:59,540 --> 00:07:03,140
See the way he lights up at the mention of that?
It's like Doctor Vogel at the mention of pastries.
94
00:07:03,180 --> 00:07:07,020
- They found out a way to soup up their space gun.
- Yes, but it's much more than that.
95
00:07:07,060 --> 00:07:09,220
Well, the sticking point is that there's...
96
00:07:09,260 --> 00:07:11,860
no tie between
the power generator and the primary capacitor.
97
00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:14,860
Yes. Meaning they would have to channel
the power directly into the weapon.
98
00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:17,540
Which I'm sure means nothing to you.
99
00:07:17,580 --> 00:07:22,580
Means they could fire multiple bursts without having
to store up more power for the next firing sequence.
100
00:07:24,260 --> 00:07:25,100
Yes.
101
00:07:25,140 --> 00:07:27,380
- Very good!
- Which leads me back
102
00:07:27,420 --> 00:07:28,660
to, cool.
103
00:07:28,740 --> 00:07:30,660
Yes, but it only makes sense if we're right.
104
00:07:30,700 --> 00:07:31,900
About what?
105
00:07:33,380 --> 00:07:34,340
Tell him.
106
00:07:34,540 --> 00:07:35,460
Not yet.
107
00:07:35,660 --> 00:07:38,780
Come on McKay, you read the equations.
What else could it be? An Ancient typo?
108
00:07:38,820 --> 00:07:41,900
Well we know they're not perfect,
because they're all dead!
109
00:07:41,940 --> 00:07:44,540
Look, I just, I just,
I don't want you to get all excited over nothing.
110
00:07:44,580 --> 00:07:46,740
- Well, maybe you're right.
- I'll give you a hint.
111
00:07:46,780 --> 00:07:51,180
It seems the Ancients were experimenting with high
energy physics on a level that we've never seen before.
112
00:07:54,860 --> 00:07:58,140
- Wow.
- Yes, wow. I just, I want to be sure.
113
00:08:01,780 --> 00:08:03,580
I'll do my best to wait.
114
00:08:07,780 --> 00:08:11,300
The manpower that you are demanding is outrageous.
115
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:17,100
You would turn my people into nothing more
than indentured slaves, to serve your farms.
116
00:08:17,580 --> 00:08:21,580
It would seem that you have nothing else
of value to trade, but your people.
117
00:08:24,420 --> 00:08:25,660
Mattus.
118
00:08:26,580 --> 00:08:29,300
You know full well my offer is fair.
119
00:08:29,620 --> 00:08:30,940
I'm sorry Teyla.
120
00:08:30,980 --> 00:08:33,020
If you had something of more value to offer,
121
00:08:33,060 --> 00:08:35,020
Technology,
weapons.
122
00:08:35,060 --> 00:08:37,060
You've heard my terms.
123
00:08:39,220 --> 00:08:40,140
Then,
124
00:08:40,180 --> 00:08:42,180
our business is done here.
125
00:08:43,900 --> 00:08:46,220
She said her offer is fair.
126
00:08:49,460 --> 00:08:51,220
I say it isn't.
127
00:08:53,220 --> 00:08:54,260
Well,
128
00:08:54,380 --> 00:08:55,780
I say it is.
129
00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:12,700
What?
130
00:09:14,900 --> 00:09:17,380
I had the situation under control!
131
00:09:17,420 --> 00:09:20,620
- It didn't look like it.
- So you came to my rescue.
132
00:09:21,340 --> 00:09:25,700
You have no idea what is at stake
during these negotiations! My people depend on me!
133
00:09:25,740 --> 00:09:27,420
They were taking advantage of you.
134
00:09:27,460 --> 00:09:28,820
No they were not!
135
00:09:28,900 --> 00:09:30,700
That is what I wanted them to think.
136
00:09:30,740 --> 00:09:35,260
A negotiation is a delicate process.
The words spoken are often meaningless.
137
00:09:36,820 --> 00:09:37,820
Teyla!
138
00:09:41,420 --> 00:09:42,700
- Do you want me to...
- No!
139
00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:46,460
Go! Gather our things, I will meet you at the Gate.
140
00:09:51,380 --> 00:09:54,860
It was a mistake to force Hendon's hand.
You will only pay for it next time.
141
00:09:54,900 --> 00:09:56,020
I know.
142
00:09:56,940 --> 00:09:59,260
- Your friend is not Athosian?
- No.
143
00:09:59,620 --> 00:10:02,820
Ronon is the only survivor
of a world known as Sateda.
144
00:10:02,860 --> 00:10:06,660
He saved the life of a friend of mine
and in return we offered him sanctuary.
145
00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:10,100
If Sateda is his homeworld,
then he is not the only survivor.
146
00:10:10,820 --> 00:10:14,420
There is a man in this village
who also claims to be from there.
147
00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:22,900
What have we got Sergeant?
148
00:10:23,020 --> 00:10:24,620
It's Colonel Sheppard, Ma'am.
149
00:10:24,660 --> 00:10:26,620
This is Weir. Go ahead Colonel.
150
00:10:27,740 --> 00:10:30,220
We're on our way back. Rodney wants to fill you in.
151
00:10:31,020 --> 00:10:33,020
I take it you found something interesting.
152
00:10:33,060 --> 00:10:34,140
Interesting?
153
00:10:34,180 --> 00:10:38,300
- How about the greatest discovery of all time!
- He's pretty excited.
154
00:10:38,900 --> 00:10:41,580
So I hear. He couldn't even wait till he got back.
155
00:10:41,620 --> 00:10:46,980
I wanted to send an encoded databurst directly
from the outpost to the secure network in my lab,
while the Gate was active.
156
00:10:48,540 --> 00:10:49,380
Now!
157
00:10:49,980 --> 00:10:51,460
Receiving transmission.
158
00:10:52,580 --> 00:10:54,100
Transferring data.
159
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:01,460
Care to fill me in, so I can be excited too?
160
00:11:01,500 --> 00:11:04,380
- It's a weapon.
- It is much, much more than a weapon!
161
00:11:04,420 --> 00:11:07,460
We think we've stumbled across
the Ancients' last great discovery.
162
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:10,180
It was too late to win the war for them, but
I think if I can finish the work they started, then...
163
00:11:10,190 --> 00:11:11,470
What is it?
164
00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:13,580
It's the ultimate power source.
165
00:11:13,740 --> 00:11:18,140
Something that would make Zero Point Modules
seem like alkaline batteries in comparison.
166
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,080
It was called Project Arcturus
167
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,920
and from what we could tell,
it's ultimate goal was to render ZPM's obsolete.
168
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,200
How?
169
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:43,040
The Zero Point Module
is an artificially created region of subspace time.
It's kind of like a miniature universe in a bottle.
170
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,920
It extracts vacuum energy through it's artificial region
of subspace time until it reaches maximum entropy.
171
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,560
So what's different about this thing?
172
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,360
Project Arcturus was attempting to extract vacuum energy
173
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,880
from our own space time. Making it
174
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,960
potentially as powerful
as the scope of the universe itself.
175
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,680
It strikes me as something
the Ancients would have tried first, even before ZPM's.
176
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,920
And they may have. But extracting zero point energy
from our own universe is, well it's definitely trickier.
177
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,080
Explain trickier.
178
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,680
Well, because we actually have to live in our
own universe, it presents a whole range of problems.
179
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,240
Well obviously it's not all
that easy or Atlantis wouldn't still be relying on ZPM's.
180
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,360
Well, you're right. The Ancients couldn't make it work.
181
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,720
I said I wanted to do all the talking.
182
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,720
- Come on Rodney, Arcturus was a total failure.
- Failure, yes. Total, no.
183
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,320
Look, the Ancients were losing
the war against the Wraith, when work on Arcturus began.
184
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,800
If they could have made it work,
185
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,960
it could have turned the tide of war. I mean,
we're talking about their own Manhatten Project here.
186
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,800
The outpost was ordered by the Ancients in Atlantis,
to defend the Duranden people using their
weapons powered by this new power source.
187
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,920
Yeah, yes,
but despite their strong reservations that it
was not ready to be tested under battle conditions.
188
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,360
The point is, the Wraith won.
189
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,040
Yes but the Durandens still inflicted
massive damage on the attacking Wraith fleet.
190
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,540
- I'm not saying they didn't put up a hell of a fight.
191
00:12:50,541 --> 00:12:53,841
The logs indicate there was a major malfunction.
192
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,080
Well yes, the Ancients in the bunker were forced
to shut everything down, including the weapon.
193
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,600
The Wraith sent more ships, the Durandens got wiped out.
194
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,240
So if the malfunction hadn't occurred,
the Ancients would have saved the planet?
195
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,160
Definitely!
196
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,600
Possibly. Don't sugar coat this, Rodney.
197
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:12,920
The Ancient scientists running Arcturus
were rushed into testing before they had perfected
a means of effectively controlling the power output.
198
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,560
I believe, if they'd had more time,
199
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,480
history would have played out
differently on that planet.
200
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,200
Possibly in this galaxy.
201
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,840
I won't deny that this is something
that we'd dearly love to get our hands on,
202
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,160
but the Ancients were a pretty bright bunch.
203
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,600
And desperate and losing a war they'd
already been fighting for a hundred years.
204
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,440
More importantly, they were, they were like this close.
205
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,800
And you believe you can finish their work?
206
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:35,960
I do.
207
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:37,920
We do.
208
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:39,920
They do.
209
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,400
Alright, I need everyone's attention, please!
What we've got here is...
210
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,160
I need this code divided up into sections
and each one double checked.
211
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,560
- No! No! You're not listening to me. I'm telling you,
this one right here is wrong!
- It's not going to! It's not going to...
212
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,120
The whole point is that these numbers
here should be corrected.
213
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,160
Unless they're corrected...
there you go, simulation failed.
214
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:15,480
Oh, that's heavy!
215
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,400
So, I need that over there. Thank you.
216
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,800
What I want you to do is pull the crystal.
Pull it when I say go, alright?
217
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:39,800
I think we have it.
218
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,160
That's it!
219
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,960
We were looking for a man named Solen.
Do you know him?
220
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,320
Upstairs.
221
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:08,440
Thank you
222
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,000
Was I free?
223
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,560
Course I was.
224
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,840
But my people were counting on me.
225
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,960
Now I was alone. I was low on ammo,
226
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,040
but I managed to take out the three
Wraith guards and gain access to that ship.
227
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,080
Liar!
228
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,400
What did you say?
229
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,200
Ronon?
230
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,040
There were two
Wraith guarding that cruiser and he wasn't alone.
231
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,800
Teyla Emmagan, Solen Senshure.
We served in the same regiment on Sateda.
232
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,160
I am honoured.
233
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,200
You two make a nice match.
234
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:51,720
Congratulations.
235
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:53,520
We are friends.
236
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,760
Nothing more.
237
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,560
For years I believed I was the only survivor.
238
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,400
So you don't know about the others?
239
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:01,720
What others?
240
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:07,000
Before the city fell, a few of us managed
to make it to the shelters west of the capital.
241
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,600
Over 300 civilians found their way there too.
242
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,440
When we emerged
we realised there was nothing to salvage, so
243
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:15,880
we left.
244
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,160
All of us.
245
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:19,680
To where?
246
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,400
Some came here. Some went to Manaria.
247
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,120
300.
248
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,400
Drink Ronon and rejoice. You're not alone!
249
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,800
Everything's been triple checked.
250
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,040
Power levels
are holding steady in all computer simulations.
251
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,840
- Power it up.
- Alright!
252
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,480
Attention all personnel!
253
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,800
Stand by for power up, on my mark!
254
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:48,840
3...
255
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,320
2...
256
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:51,800
1...
257
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:53,240
mark.
258
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,800
Oh man. To see Kel's face when he sees you.
259
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,200
Yeah, it's true.
260
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:19,720
Kel's alive.
261
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:21,760
And his family.
262
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,480
They settled on Belsa.
263
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,800
Run this big trading operation over there.
264
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,120
When were you going to tell me this?
265
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,160
Honestly,
I was going to wait until you drank a little more.
266
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,600
Then you've seen him.
267
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,800
Yeah, he comes around now and then
to trade weapons with the Balkans.
268
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,400
He's got his own private army now.
269
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,800
Is this Kel, a friend?
270
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,280
Oh, he's more like kin.
271
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,560
He was Ronon's taskmaster
272
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,840
during his military training.
273
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,600
There is no closer bond.
274
00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,400
None.
275
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,160
To reunions.
276
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:05,880
To reunions.
277
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:13,880
Radek, talk to me.
278
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,800
I'm picking up some minor power fluctuations.
279
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,320
Chamber's temperature's holding steady.
280
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:22,680
There it goes again.
281
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:24,640
Is everything OK?
282
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:25,400
Everything's fine.
283
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:30,400
The containment bubble is designed to automatically
compensate for any sudden changes in energy output.
284
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,400
This never happened in the simulations.
285
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,800
Maybe we should abort.
286
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,400
I said it's fine. Collins. See if you can
boost more power to the field, manually.
287
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,560
You got it.
288
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,920
Prepare for test firing.
289
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,160
On my mark.
290
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,160
Levels just spiked into the red!
291
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:10,600
What?
292
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:11,920
Shut it down. Shut it all down!
293
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:12,800
I'm trying.
294
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,960
The interface is not responding.
295
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,440
I'm gonna switch to back-ups!
296
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,800
- Levels are going off the scale!
- McKay?
297
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,800
I have given the command to shut down.
Something's creating an overload.
298
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:25,560
We should evacuate.
299
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:26,560
Just give me a few seconds!
300
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,000
We may not have that time!
301
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,160
Wait, wait, wait.
302
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,000
It's stabilizing.
303
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,400
Generator is offline.
304
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:42,960
What the hell just happened?
305
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,400
Obviously there was a surge of some kind.
Look. Collins....Collins.
306
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:51,800
Collins!
307
00:20:08,150 --> 00:20:11,830
Officially my report will indicate
Dr Collins died due to radiation exposure,
308
00:20:11,870 --> 00:20:14,470
causing severe burns to well over 90% of his body.
309
00:20:15,550 --> 00:20:16,750
But it was more than that?
310
00:20:16,790 --> 00:20:17,870
Aye, much more.
311
00:20:18,470 --> 00:20:21,270
To be honest, I have no idea
what sort of radiation it was.
312
00:20:21,310 --> 00:20:24,150
I've never seen or heard of
cellular decay this massive.
313
00:20:24,190 --> 00:20:26,390
Not when exposure only lasted mere seconds.
314
00:20:27,110 --> 00:20:29,550
Collins' next of kin have been notified.
315
00:20:30,550 --> 00:20:31,550
Good.
316
00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:34,750
What went wrong?
317
00:20:35,830 --> 00:20:37,950
We're still analyzing data from the test.
318
00:20:38,550 --> 00:20:43,510
All we know for certain was, there was a massive power
surge which in turn, caused the containment field
319
00:20:43,550 --> 00:20:47,550
to expand asymmetrically in the direction
of the command access tube.
320
00:20:47,950 --> 00:20:49,150
As to why...
321
00:20:49,190 --> 00:20:50,550
How about human error?
322
00:20:52,350 --> 00:20:53,270
Excuse me?
323
00:20:53,310 --> 00:20:57,550
Well, according to your report, during the test,
Dr Collins made an adjustment to the containment field.
324
00:20:57,590 --> 00:21:00,870
Isn't it possible that he triggered the surge himself?
325
00:21:02,550 --> 00:21:04,750
Are you looking for a scapegoat, Colonel?
326
00:21:04,950 --> 00:21:05,910
Not at all Doctor.
327
00:21:05,950 --> 00:21:10,350
I'm admittedly looking for a rationale that would
allow Dr McKay to continue his very important work.
328
00:21:10,390 --> 00:21:11,990
Is there something wrong with that?
329
00:21:12,750 --> 00:21:16,070
No! Collins knew the systems just as well as any of us.
330
00:21:16,110 --> 00:21:17,630
He wouldn't have made that kind of mistake.
331
00:21:17,670 --> 00:21:20,350
Everything was going well.
Everyone did their job.
332
00:21:21,750 --> 00:21:22,750
Then what?
333
00:21:22,950 --> 00:21:23,950
I don't know!
334
00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:26,630
In terms of physics, it shouldn't have happened.
335
00:21:26,950 --> 00:21:30,230
We're still analyzing the data from the accident.
It's going to take time...
336
00:21:30,270 --> 00:21:33,750
What I do know, is the device did
what it was supposed to do.
337
00:21:34,150 --> 00:21:35,830
No Rodney, it didn't.
338
00:21:35,870 --> 00:21:38,350
Well, apart from the obvious containment issues.
339
00:21:38,390 --> 00:21:40,750
It overloaded and you couldn't stop it.
340
00:21:40,790 --> 00:21:44,190
But we won't know for sure until
we go back down there and try again.
341
00:21:44,230 --> 00:21:46,430
Try again? Are you serious?
342
00:21:46,470 --> 00:21:47,190
Yes.
343
00:21:52,150 --> 00:21:54,190
A member of your team is in the morgue.
344
00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:58,070
And I am responsible for his death, yes.
I am painfully aware of that.
345
00:21:58,110 --> 00:22:01,150
I sent him in there and I will have to live
with that for the rest of my life.
346
00:22:01,190 --> 00:22:05,350
But we have a responsibility
to understand what happened and learn from it.
347
00:22:06,550 --> 00:22:08,350
Rodney, we don't even know what went wrong.
348
00:22:08,390 --> 00:22:10,190
Which is why we have to go back there!
349
00:22:14,150 --> 00:22:16,950
I know how important this is to you, Rodney.
350
00:22:17,150 --> 00:22:22,430
But we knew when we came to Atlantis that we might
encounter certain technologies, which for the moment,
351
00:22:22,470 --> 00:22:23,750
are out of our reach.
352
00:22:23,950 --> 00:22:25,110
It's not in this case.
353
00:22:25,150 --> 00:22:27,310
You have the data from your first attempt.
354
00:22:27,950 --> 00:22:29,950
You can run all the simulations you want.
355
00:22:29,990 --> 00:22:32,870
Come on Elizabeth. You really think
the military's gonna let this go?
356
00:22:32,910 --> 00:22:35,350
I mean, at the very least, we should be
the first ones in there to spearhead the research.
357
00:22:35,390 --> 00:22:36,550
That's what this is about?
358
00:22:36,950 --> 00:22:38,510
You wanna beat them to it?
359
00:22:39,350 --> 00:22:41,550
I'm sorry. The answer's no.
360
00:23:02,750 --> 00:23:03,950
I'm not tired.
361
00:23:04,950 --> 00:23:05,990
Why did we leave?
362
00:23:14,350 --> 00:23:15,950
I believe you've had enough.
363
00:23:17,150 --> 00:23:18,710
I don't believe I have.
364
00:23:19,550 --> 00:23:20,510
Goodnight.
365
00:23:22,550 --> 00:23:23,550
Teyla?
366
00:23:27,350 --> 00:23:29,350
There are 300 of my people.
367
00:23:53,750 --> 00:23:55,430
Harry K. Daghlian.
368
00:23:56,350 --> 00:23:57,150
Who?
369
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:59,590
He was a scientist.
Worked on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos.
370
00:23:59,630 --> 00:24:01,350
He was only twenty-six years old.
371
00:24:01,390 --> 00:24:05,050
Accidentally irradiated himself while performing
a critical mass experiment on two
372
00:24:05,151 --> 00:24:07,151
half spheres of plutonium.
373
00:24:07,550 --> 00:24:09,150
It took him a month to die.
374
00:24:10,150 --> 00:24:13,050
While his body was slowly shutting down from
radiation poisoning, you know what he did
375
00:24:13,051 --> 00:24:15,551
with his last thirty days?
376
00:24:15,650 --> 00:24:16,890
He worked.
377
00:24:16,950 --> 00:24:20,650
He tried until his last breath to understand
what had happened to him, so that others
378
00:24:20,651 --> 00:24:22,651
could learn from the tragedy.
379
00:24:22,750 --> 00:24:27,550
So that his work, his death,
wouldn't be rendered meaningless.
380
00:24:29,550 --> 00:24:33,950
Now, have you considered what would have happened
if they'd just shut that project down after that?
381
00:24:33,990 --> 00:24:34,950
This is different.
382
00:24:34,990 --> 00:24:35,790
Is it?
383
00:24:36,550 --> 00:24:41,570
Collins' death is a pointless waste of life unless
something comes of this and I am not sure that I can...
384
00:24:44,550 --> 00:24:45,870
I think I know what happened.
385
00:24:47,950 --> 00:24:48,950
Let's hear it.
386
00:24:48,990 --> 00:24:50,030
Can I come in?
387
00:24:50,350 --> 00:24:51,150
No.
388
00:24:52,550 --> 00:24:54,550
The Ancients had it wrong.
389
00:24:54,590 --> 00:24:56,670
Our mistake was using their equations.
390
00:24:56,710 --> 00:24:58,150
Look, I just did the calculations again myself.
391
00:24:58,190 --> 00:25:02,950
I did them three times just to be sure
and I am positive the problem is
in the automatic containment protocols.
392
00:25:03,350 --> 00:25:04,550
OK, what's your fix?
393
00:25:04,590 --> 00:25:07,750
I'm proposing that we adjust
the field strength manually.
394
00:25:08,150 --> 00:25:10,150
You saw how fast it spiked on you.
395
00:25:10,190 --> 00:25:12,630
So we don't operate the generator
at anywhere near it's potential.
396
00:25:12,670 --> 00:25:13,950
Look, there's no need to be greedy.
397
00:25:13,990 --> 00:25:16,950
Even operating at 50% it'll still
generate the power of a dozen ZPM's.
398
00:25:16,990 --> 00:25:19,310
How come the Ancient's didn't figure this out?
399
00:25:19,350 --> 00:25:21,070
Maybe they were caught up in the heat of battle.
400
00:25:21,110 --> 00:25:23,750
Maybe they thought that they needed
as much power as they could get.
401
00:25:23,790 --> 00:25:25,550
Maybe they weren't smart enough.
402
00:25:25,590 --> 00:25:26,750
And you are.
403
00:25:26,790 --> 00:25:27,950
No, I didn't say that.
404
00:25:28,350 --> 00:25:30,350
But I have the benefit of hindsight. They didn't.
405
00:25:30,550 --> 00:25:36,750
Look, this is big.
This is the wheel, the light bulb, the hotdog, big.
406
00:25:38,550 --> 00:25:39,950
Best case scenario.
407
00:25:39,990 --> 00:25:41,510
I win a Nobel Prize.
408
00:25:41,950 --> 00:25:43,870
Worse case scenario.
409
00:25:43,910 --> 00:25:45,550
We tear a hole in the fabric of the universe.
410
00:25:45,590 --> 00:25:47,350
Which is much less likely
to happen than the Nobel Prize.
411
00:25:47,390 --> 00:25:51,670
I mean, look, the risks are nothing
compared to the potential benefits.
412
00:25:51,710 --> 00:25:53,950
Elizabeth will listen to you.
413
00:25:54,150 --> 00:25:57,990
I've never asked this of you before,
but I think I've earned it.
414
00:25:58,750 --> 00:25:59,630
Trust me.
415
00:26:01,150 --> 00:26:03,150
I've already made this decision, John!
416
00:26:03,190 --> 00:26:06,590
If Dr McKay says he's solved the problem,
I don't see why we don't give it another shot.
417
00:26:06,630 --> 00:26:09,350
Isn't the Daedalus about ready to head back to Earth?
418
00:26:09,750 --> 00:26:11,510
Yes we are.
419
00:26:11,550 --> 00:26:15,590
But I think you should know the Pentagon
is taking a very keen interest in this vacuum energy.
420
00:26:16,350 --> 00:26:19,030
I'm sure they have, but the Pentagon
doesn't make the decisions here.
421
00:26:19,070 --> 00:26:21,710
Yeah, I may not have the power to overrule you on this.
422
00:26:21,750 --> 00:26:27,550
But when I get back to Earth, I'm going to be
making the recommendation that Dr McKay be allowed
to continue his work, to the highest authorities.
423
00:26:28,550 --> 00:26:29,550
Ultimately Dr Weir,
424
00:26:30,750 --> 00:26:32,310
this won't be up to you.
425
00:26:35,950 --> 00:26:38,990
Can Rodney guarantee that the same thing won't happen?
426
00:26:39,150 --> 00:26:40,550
Nobody can do that.
427
00:26:40,750 --> 00:26:42,150
Then what's changed?
428
00:26:42,310 --> 00:26:45,470
According to him it's the Ancients
calculations that were wrong, not his.
429
00:26:45,510 --> 00:26:47,630
If McKay is that confident,
then I don't see why we don't...
430
00:26:47,670 --> 00:26:50,790
Confidence is not something
Doctor McKay is in any short supply of.
431
00:26:50,830 --> 00:26:53,110
For good reason! If anyone can do this...
432
00:26:53,150 --> 00:26:56,110
The Ancients could not do this.
433
00:26:56,270 --> 00:26:58,310
And that's what it keeps coming back to for me.
434
00:26:58,350 --> 00:27:05,510
Isn't it possible that you have placed the Ancients
on such a high pedestal that you can't even
consider the possibility that they may be wrong?
435
00:27:05,550 --> 00:27:08,390
Why are we mincing words, Colonel?
436
00:27:08,870 --> 00:27:10,190
You want the weapon.
437
00:27:10,950 --> 00:27:13,550
Yes! I do!
438
00:27:13,590 --> 00:27:20,910
A weapon that could effectively eliminate the
Wraith threat is very attractive to me, and to the
people that I work for. I'm not hiding that fact.
439
00:27:20,950 --> 00:27:22,750
But there's more to it, isn't there?
440
00:27:22,790 --> 00:27:24,950
No more hunting for ZPMs.
441
00:27:24,990 --> 00:27:29,230
The shield at full strength.
Faster, more powerful ships.
442
00:27:29,270 --> 00:27:32,750
How about a power source that could provide the
energy needs for an entire planet.
443
00:27:32,790 --> 00:27:33,950
No more fossil fuels.
444
00:27:33,990 --> 00:27:35,750
I get it!
445
00:27:35,790 --> 00:27:40,030
And if it worked as advertised,
it would be wonderful.
446
00:27:40,710 --> 00:27:48,230
I'm trying to tell you, I know Rodney McKay and
there are times when I have to protect him from himself.
447
00:27:48,270 --> 00:27:50,990
I can do that.
448
00:27:51,310 --> 00:27:53,550
Let me go back with him. Just him and me.
449
00:27:53,590 --> 00:27:58,190
You can activate the Stargate any time
you want to contact us by radio.
450
00:27:59,590 --> 00:28:01,710
He really sold you.
451
00:28:05,310 --> 00:28:07,910
He asked me to trust him.
452
00:28:16,610 --> 00:28:19,550
I appreciate your support, Colonel,
but... don't worry.
453
00:28:19,590 --> 00:28:23,010
I try and make it a habit
not to make the same mistake twice.
454
00:28:23,650 --> 00:28:25,150
That was a joke, right?
455
00:28:25,190 --> 00:28:30,390
No. I offer you my personal assurance that a surge
like the one that happened before is inconceivable.
456
00:28:31,230 --> 00:28:33,230
I'm gonna run some power-up simulations first.
457
00:28:33,270 --> 00:28:37,670
How about I carry out my plan and
you keep the hot coffee coming?
458
00:28:38,790 --> 00:28:41,950
Joking again, right?
459
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:45,390
Well, where were we?
460
00:28:47,270 --> 00:28:49,550
Doctor Weir, I need to speak to you right away.
461
00:28:49,590 --> 00:28:50,470
What is it?
462
00:28:50,510 --> 00:28:53,670
I finished going over the accident data.
463
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,720
I think I know why the Ancients
abandoned this technology.
464
00:29:00,590 --> 00:29:03,030
Colonel Sheppard, this is Atlantis.
465
00:29:03,070 --> 00:29:04,190
Go ahead.
466
00:29:04,710 --> 00:29:06,430
Is Doctor McKay with you?
467
00:29:06,470 --> 00:29:09,990
Of course I am, but we're a little busy
getting ready to run a test here.
468
00:29:10,470 --> 00:29:13,950
Actually, I would like you to delay the test firing.
469
00:29:14,350 --> 00:29:15,150
Why?
470
00:29:15,190 --> 00:29:20,630
We have reason to believe that the weapon's power
source, may not be controllable at any power level.
471
00:29:20,790 --> 00:29:21,870
Radek?
472
00:29:21,910 --> 00:29:22,630
Rodney?
473
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:28,160
OK, we have been over this. I am doing
this manually, at half power. It's a cakewalk.
474
00:29:28,190 --> 00:29:31,590
I don't think it matters how much cake you walk on.
475
00:29:31,630 --> 00:29:39,150
I've been doing calculations of my own and
I believe that the very act of trying to contain
vacuum energy from our own space-time creates
476
00:29:39,190 --> 00:29:42,590
an environment where
the laws of physics cease to apply.
477
00:29:42,630 --> 00:29:44,070
What are you on about?
478
00:29:44,110 --> 00:29:45,470
As power output increases,
479
00:29:45,510 --> 00:29:52,110
new and exotic particles are continuously created
and destroyed inside the containment chamber,
480
00:29:52,150 --> 00:29:55,430
interacting with each other and with the field itself.
481
00:29:55,470 --> 00:30:00,950
Eventually particles are created
that cannot be prevented in this space-time,
482
00:30:00,990 --> 00:30:04,190
and they breach
the containment field as hard radiation.
483
00:30:04,230 --> 00:30:09,030
As long as I'm monitoring the energy output manually,
I can stop that before it happens.
484
00:30:09,070 --> 00:30:13,870
You cannot predict something
that is inherently unpredictable.
485
00:30:13,910 --> 00:30:16,390
- Rodney?
- I know what I'm doing.
486
00:30:16,430 --> 00:30:22,230
Rodney, I am trying to tell you as a friend,
I have serious doubts.
487
00:30:22,270 --> 00:30:24,150
Well, you're wrong. I'm sorry, but there it is.
488
00:30:24,190 --> 00:30:28,790
And to bring this up now when I am just about to do
this smacks of nothing but professional jealousy.
489
00:30:28,830 --> 00:30:32,070
Fine! Kill yourself,
just like the Ancients did!
490
00:30:32,110 --> 00:30:34,070
What do you mean by that?
491
00:30:34,110 --> 00:30:38,870
I believe if the overload is allowed to continue,
the weapon acts as a sort of release valve
492
00:30:38,910 --> 00:30:41,630
to prevent catastrophic containment failure.
493
00:30:41,670 --> 00:30:45,670
The Ancients barely managed to shut it down,
and they lost their lives in the process.
494
00:30:45,710 --> 00:30:51,670
What we're suggesting is that the Wraith didn't
kill everyone on that planet. It was the weapon itself.
495
00:30:51,950 --> 00:30:54,070
That would explain why this place
is the only thing left standing.
496
00:30:54,110 --> 00:30:57,870
Congratulations, you've solved the mystery
of how the Ancients screwed up ten thousand years ago.
497
00:30:57,910 --> 00:30:59,470
It doesn't mean that I will do the same.
498
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,240
Look, I don't know how else to say this,
499
00:31:01,270 --> 00:31:04,350
but none of you are capable of understanding
this on the same level that I do.
500
00:31:04,390 --> 00:31:06,150
And Zelenka, that includes you.
501
00:31:11,270 --> 00:31:15,710
Rodney, I cannot afford to lose either one of you.
502
00:31:16,110 --> 00:31:20,150
Now tell me. Can you do this?
503
00:31:20,190 --> 00:31:20,910
Yes.
504
00:31:21,430 --> 00:31:23,190
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
505
00:31:23,230 --> 00:31:25,190
- Are you sure you're sure?
- I said yes!
506
00:31:25,230 --> 00:31:27,110
- Because if you're wrong...
- I'm not!
507
00:31:36,630 --> 00:31:39,550
I'll call you back after the test.
How does that sound?
508
00:31:39,590 --> 00:31:41,310
You'd better.
509
00:31:42,390 --> 00:31:44,030
I won't let you down.
510
00:31:54,270 --> 00:31:55,630
How are you feeling?
511
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,120
Fine.
512
00:32:00,350 --> 00:32:04,110
We should really be getting back.
Doctor Weir will be expecting us.
513
00:32:04,630 --> 00:32:05,710
Kel's here.
514
00:32:06,390 --> 00:32:07,430
What?
515
00:32:07,470 --> 00:32:10,710
He's meeting with Hendon right now.
Solen just told me.
516
00:32:11,230 --> 00:32:13,190
I have to see him.
517
00:32:13,590 --> 00:32:17,190
And you would like me to arrange a meeting.
518
00:32:17,230 --> 00:32:21,710
After yesterday, I don't think
I'd get very far if I asked myself.
519
00:32:25,630 --> 00:32:27,710
OK, this is good.
520
00:32:27,750 --> 00:32:30,470
My equations are working like a charm.
521
00:32:30,510 --> 00:32:33,750
Power level's at forty percent,
just to be on the safe side.
522
00:32:33,790 --> 00:32:35,550
I think we're ready for our test.
523
00:32:35,590 --> 00:32:36,790
Where do you want the weapon targeted?
524
00:32:36,830 --> 00:32:38,670
The debris orbiting the planet.
525
00:32:38,710 --> 00:32:39,630
Sounds good.
526
00:32:39,670 --> 00:32:42,990
Bringing the weapon online...
now.
527
00:32:57,710 --> 00:32:58,830
What's that?
528
00:32:58,870 --> 00:33:02,470
Energy surge. It's fine.
I can regulate it.
529
00:33:03,510 --> 00:33:04,470
You said you could contain...
530
00:33:04,510 --> 00:33:09,430
The temperature inside the containment field
is well within acceptable parameters.
531
00:33:10,830 --> 00:33:14,750
Staying ahead of it.
Levels are rising in the chamber.
532
00:33:14,790 --> 00:33:17,950
Reroute power from the secondary systems
to the containment field.
533
00:33:17,990 --> 00:33:19,150
I'm thinking we need to abort.
534
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,840
I can compensate. Just give me a minute.
535
00:33:21,870 --> 00:33:23,950
It's overloading, just like last time.
536
00:33:23,990 --> 00:33:26,150
There is no logical reason this shouldn't be working.
537
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:26,800
McKay?
538
00:33:26,830 --> 00:33:28,430
None of this should be happening!
539
00:33:28,470 --> 00:33:31,310
Look, the energy levels are spiking at a rate
far greater than anything I predicted.
540
00:33:31,350 --> 00:33:32,870
Shut it down!
541
00:33:36,790 --> 00:33:38,190
Fine.
542
00:33:51,750 --> 00:33:52,950
Doesn't make any sense.
543
00:33:54,190 --> 00:33:55,790
What's wrong?
544
00:33:58,550 --> 00:34:00,230
I can't shut it down.
545
00:34:30,550 --> 00:34:32,470
I am Kel, from Sateda.
546
00:34:32,510 --> 00:34:36,670
Teyla Emmagan of Athos.
Thank you for granting us your time.
547
00:34:39,150 --> 00:34:41,950
If we are to trade,
I would know all the members of your party.
548
00:34:41,990 --> 00:34:45,550
Of course. In fact, that is why we are here.
549
00:34:50,070 --> 00:34:51,150
Ronon!
550
00:34:51,190 --> 00:34:52,910
Hello, Kel.
551
00:34:58,830 --> 00:35:00,990
Ronon, what have you done?
552
00:35:02,670 --> 00:35:06,950
We all know who this man was, what he was.
553
00:35:07,590 --> 00:35:10,950
If anyone here believes he should be avenged,
554
00:35:13,430 --> 00:35:14,990
here I am.
555
00:35:41,470 --> 00:35:43,770
You just used me to murder an innocent man!
556
00:35:44,890 --> 00:35:46,650
He deserved worse.
557
00:35:47,130 --> 00:35:49,850
You said he was like a father to you.
558
00:35:50,050 --> 00:35:52,850
Kel commanded several infantry divisions on Sateda.
559
00:35:52,890 --> 00:35:54,420
When the Wraith came...
560
00:35:54,771 --> 00:35:58,771
he ordered thousands
to their death just to save himself.
561
00:35:58,810 --> 00:36:04,250
He was...
a traitor and a coward.
562
00:36:05,130 --> 00:36:10,130
My only regret
is that his death was quick.
563
00:36:17,090 --> 00:36:19,330
I understand.
564
00:36:19,930 --> 00:36:22,970
In your place I might have done the same.
565
00:36:24,770 --> 00:36:30,250
But believe me when
I tell you that the others would not.
566
00:36:30,490 --> 00:36:34,050
We must not speak of this when we return to Atlantis.
567
00:36:36,970 --> 00:36:41,970
And if you ever use my friendship in such a way again,
568
00:36:42,410 --> 00:36:46,770
I will not be so understanding.
569
00:36:58,370 --> 00:36:59,090
What was that?
570
00:36:59,130 --> 00:37:01,970
The weapon's discharging
to prevent a catastrophic overload.
571
00:37:02,010 --> 00:37:03,810
Alright, that's it. We're outta here.
572
00:37:03,850 --> 00:37:08,970
It's not safe! The weapon's firing
at random targets above the planet.
This is the safest place to be right now.
573
00:37:10,090 --> 00:37:12,290
The place isn't gonna be safe for very much longer!
574
00:37:12,330 --> 00:37:14,890
I can bring it back under control!
Just give me a second!
575
00:37:15,490 --> 00:37:16,290
No you can't!
576
00:37:16,330 --> 00:37:17,690
Just one second!
577
00:37:17,700 --> 00:37:21,380
I've seen this before, Rodney.
Pilots who wouldn't eject when something went wrong.
578
00:37:21,410 --> 00:37:25,610
Trying to fix their planes
right until it hit the ground.
579
00:37:26,890 --> 00:37:28,810
OK, we need to leave.
580
00:37:29,210 --> 00:37:34,930
I've waited too long, the weapon can't discharge
enough power to avoid a catastrophic overload.
This whole planet's gonna go up.
581
00:37:36,610 --> 00:37:38,930
Not that your speech wasn't working.
582
00:37:44,490 --> 00:37:45,770
OK, strap in.
583
00:37:45,810 --> 00:37:48,770
You need to avoid flying predictably
to prevent the weapon from locking onto us.
584
00:37:48,810 --> 00:37:49,730
I know what I'm doing.
585
00:37:49,770 --> 00:37:52,210
I'm just saying,be sure not to fly in a straight line.
586
00:37:52,250 --> 00:37:54,130
Rodney, shut up!
587
00:37:59,290 --> 00:38:02,210
Can I just say there's no way
the Jumper can take even one direct hit?
588
00:38:02,250 --> 00:38:04,290
I'll keep that in mind.
589
00:38:14,970 --> 00:38:16,570
The weapon's locking onto us.
590
00:38:16,650 --> 00:38:19,490
How about I fly us away from the planet,
return after the overload?
591
00:38:19,530 --> 00:38:20,610
We can't.
592
00:38:20,810 --> 00:38:21,290
Why not?
593
00:38:21,330 --> 00:38:27,090
Don't you understand? This explosion is gonna
take out three quarters of the solar system.
There's no way we can fly far enough or fast enough.
594
00:38:27,100 --> 00:38:29,060
We have to head for the Gate.
595
00:38:30,010 --> 00:38:31,370
Dial the Gate.
596
00:38:37,170 --> 00:38:39,130
How do you intend to avoid
getting hit on the final approach?
597
00:38:39,170 --> 00:38:41,890
I haven't figured that part out yet.
598
00:38:52,850 --> 00:38:56,010
It's a good thing we stopped by
to check on your progress, Colonel.
599
00:38:56,170 --> 00:38:58,770
Make a break for the Stargate.
We'll run interference.
600
00:38:58,810 --> 00:39:00,330
Copy that, Daedalus.
601
00:39:00,340 --> 00:39:02,620
Stand by to engage sublight engines on my mark.
602
00:39:02,890 --> 00:39:06,050
Recommend you go into hyperspace
as soon as we go through.
603
00:39:06,410 --> 00:39:08,130
There's gonna be a big bang.
604
00:39:08,250 --> 00:39:09,410
Understood.
605
00:39:25,130 --> 00:39:27,530
Take this grain to the storage room.
606
00:39:30,730 --> 00:39:31,970
You are the smartest guy we have.
607
00:39:32,010 --> 00:39:32,770
I know!
608
00:39:35,170 --> 00:39:40,810
putting your life and other people's lives at risk.
You destroyed three quarters of a solar system!
609
00:39:40,850 --> 00:39:42,290
Well, five sixths. It's not an exact science.
610
00:39:42,330 --> 00:39:45,850
Rodney, can you give
your ego a rest for one second?
611
00:39:47,690 --> 00:39:49,450
Oh, Colonel!
612
00:39:49,850 --> 00:39:51,010
Colonel!
613
00:39:52,290 --> 00:39:53,890
I've been looking all over for you.
614
00:39:53,900 --> 00:39:55,340
I heard.
615
00:39:58,450 --> 00:39:59,970
I suppose I deserve that.
616
00:40:00,370 --> 00:40:01,730
Look, I just...
617
00:40:02,330 --> 00:40:05,850
I wanted to apologise about what happened.
I was wrong. I'm sorry.
618
00:40:06,010 --> 00:40:09,690
And I wanted to assure you that,
I intend not being right again,
619
00:40:09,700 --> 00:40:12,660
about everything, effective immediately.
620
00:40:16,210 --> 00:40:17,490
That was a joke.
621
00:40:17,530 --> 00:40:18,850
Good one.
622
00:40:20,330 --> 00:40:22,330
I've already apologised to Elizabeth
623
00:40:22,810 --> 00:40:24,730
and Radek and
624
00:40:25,010 --> 00:40:29,090
I thanked Colonel Caldwell for...
caring enough to spy on the experiment from orbit.
625
00:40:29,130 --> 00:40:31,210
I sent him a nice little email, actually.
626
00:40:31,330 --> 00:40:34,050
But I saved you till last because,
627
00:40:34,130 --> 00:40:38,310
honestly, I would... I would hate
to think that recent events might have
permanently
628
00:40:38,331 --> 00:40:41,331
dimmed your faith in my abilities,
629
00:40:41,370 --> 00:40:42,690
or your trust.
630
00:40:43,330 --> 00:40:47,530
At the very least, I hope I can earn that back.
631
00:40:48,130 --> 00:40:50,370
That may take a while.
632
00:40:51,850 --> 00:40:53,090
I see.
633
00:40:53,650 --> 00:40:59,570
But, I'm sure you can do it,
if you really wanna try.
