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 00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:13,120 Transcript: Callie Sullivan & scifigate.net 32 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,080 Subtitles by Team SG-66 www.seriestele.net 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!

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.

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.

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.
