{1}{1}23.976 {8}{64}{Y:i}Previously on Stargate Atlantis. {97}{159}This is Weir.|What's the nature of Major Sheppard's injury? {160}{229}Some sort of funky alien bug|attached itself to his neck. {230}{366}Part of Ellia is Human and part of her comes|from a creature we call the Eratus bug. {367}{473}Now it's possible, by means of this retrovirus,|that we could strip away those parts {474}{531}{Y:i}and leave only the Human parts behind. {532}{565}{Y:i}Good Lord! {566}{608}She took the retrovirus! {609}{691}- You said it wasn't ready.|- It's not! Not by a long shot! {996}{1029}Are you OK? {1055}{1087}Yeah. {1300}{1341}This really isn't necessary, Doc! {1342}{1409}Yes it is. You've got a serious laceration|in your arm and you've lost a good deal of blood. {1410}{1468}Yeah, well, enjoy the ride Colonel,|they're making me walk. {1469}{1569}- You have a splinter, Rodney.|- Yes, a very nasty, painful splinter. {1575}{1630}{Y:i}Alright, let's have a look at this. {1758}{1787}Thank you. {1798}{1862}- This might hurt a bit. {1883}{1925}I'm sure it will. {1942}{1974}{Y:i}This doesn't sting? {1994}{2022}No. {2043}{2105}I know you have a high threshold for pain, but this... {2106}{2149}This is what? {2206}{2231}Gone. {2237}{2262}What? {2263}{2304}The feeding mark. {2315}{2365}It's completely healed. {2610}{2674}Transcript: Scifigate. net {2675}{2730}Subtitles by Team SG-66|www.seriestele.net {2750}{2830}Season 2 - Episode 8|Conversion {2886}{2969}{Y:i}- Maybe it wasn't that bad.|- Then where did all the blood come from? {2970}{3029}I don't know.|Maybe it just looked a lot worse than it was. {3030}{3133}- Well I don't see evidence of any cut at all.|- It's weird, cos it hurt like hell. {3138}{3177}You sure the skin was broken? {3178}{3257}Yeah, I'm pretty sure. There was a lot of blood.|Maybe it was hers. {3258}{3311}It was definitely Human. {3312}{3383}I don't know.|Maybe it was a nose bleed. {3395}{3494}- Is that supposed to be a joke, Colonel?|- Believe me, this isn't funny. {3495}{3589}Give me half a day to run your bloodwork|and analyse it with the data we already have. {3590}{3619}We'll figure it out. {3620}{3700}- And until then?|- Well, you're welcome to look over my shoulder. {3708}{3792}- Yeah, that's tempting but...|- Just go about your day. {4126}{4183}I thought you said you were a runner? {4184}{4218}Funny! {4227}{4292}I can usually barely keep up.|What's with you? {4312}{4358}What's with you? {4367}{4397}Water? {4440}{4496}{Y:i}Alright, sore loser! {4497}{4562}I don't act like a jerk when you beat me. {4572}{4608}Yes you do. {4618}{4686}OK, then we'll go around again. {4704}{4744}Go ahead. {4762}{4794}OK grumpy, {4795}{4830}I will. {4941}{4976}{Y:i}Dr Beckett? {5022}{5072}Thought you'd wanna see this. {5132}{5199}- Is this from Colonel Sheppard's blood sample?|- That's right. {5200}{5252}- And you've run it twice?|- Of course. {5253}{5317}OK, let's run it one more time.|I wanna be certain before I tell him. {5318}{5349}Right. {5898}{5933}Not bad? {5939}{5969}Yes, yes. {5980}{6019}You're doing very well. {6355}{6401}You have been practising. {6410}{6445}Not really. {7103}{7211}You are showing a considerable leap|in ability, Colonel Sheppard. {7212}{7287}You can call me John|when we're off the clock. {7305}{7338}Very well... {7344}{7378}- John.|{Y:i}- There you go. {7452}{7545}Should we continue, or do you... {7921}{7980}I'm not really sure just what happened. {8000}{8029}Colonel. {8089}{8134}That was interesting. {8136}{8200}{Y:i}Colonel Sheppard, please report to the infirmary. {8250}{8294}You OK? {8316}{8373}Dr Beckett will be expecting you. {8412}{8446}Yeah. {8708}{8824}{Y:i}The good news is, we can now say with some certainty|that Ellia didn't drain away any of your life. {8825}{8859}{Y:i}We already knew that. {8860}{8895}{Y:i}I suppose. {8896}{8960}{Y:i}That's the best good news you could come up with? {8983}{9069}It looks like you've been infected|with the Eratus Bug retrovirus. {9070}{9130}The one we were working on|to turn Ellia into a Human. {9131}{9191}You mean, the one that didn't|turn her into a Human. {9192}{9272}Ellia administered the treatment prematurely.|It wasn't ready. It wasn't even supposed to be... {9273}{9347}- I'm not blaming you, Doc.|- But you're right, {9348}{9458}the transformation was into a creature closer to|the Eratus Bug than to a Human and I know how much you... {9459}{9499}- Hate those bugs?|- Yes. {9500}{9620}But for one, Ellia was a Wraith and|she took a massive dose of the retrovirus. {9622}{9679}Do we know how|the Colonel's system might respond to the drug? {9680}{9710}I have no idea. {9711}{9795}It was never engineered to be given to a Human.|It was never intended to be given to anyone! {9796}{9818}Let go. {9819}{9887}But the problem is,|I have no idea how your body will react. {9888}{9933}I can't even begin to guess. {9934}{10013}If how I feel is any indication, I'm fine. {10026}{10106}It's certainly possible|that it's already breaking down in your system. {10107}{10164}Ellia's transformation was extreme and immediate. {10165}{10184}See? {10185}{10272}- But the wound on your arm healed unnaturally fast.|- If there was a wound. {10273}{10345}There had to be! Otherwise,|I don't see how you got infected in the first place. {10346}{10398}She was spitting an awful lot. {10406}{10449}So what? We just monitor it for now? {10450}{10471}Aye. {10472}{10524}You'll need to check in every six hours. {10525}{10551}I can do that. {10552}{10579}And you should probably... {10580}{10658}Suspend my offworld activities, until we know more. {10663}{10697}Thank you. {10706}{10758}See you in six hours. {11090}{11129}You're working late. {11173}{11219}No, not really. {11250}{11274}Yeah. {11275}{11330}I keep trying to remove it|from the terminal's on the Daedalus. {11331}{11398}Somehow the crew keeps|finding a way of putting it back. {11399}{11447}Never get between a genius {11448}{11488}and a computer game. {11521}{11565}Ain't you scheduled to fly out? {11566}{11646}I was supposed to, yes. Until I heard about Sheppard. {11673}{11720}He's under Beckett's supervision. {11763}{11854}If the Lt Colonel finds himself|unable to perform his duties, that's... {11877}{11953}You have a ship to command, Colonel!|I wouldn't wanna spread you too thin. {11954}{12025}Novak and Hermiod are running|a full diagnostic on our FTL drive. {12026}{12102}They're worried about|the constant huge jumping between galaxies. {12103}{12203}Which is to say if I need to, I have some time. {12278}{12325}OK, let me think about it. {12375}{12407}Thank you. {12470}{12512}You get chess on there? {12530}{12585}As a matter of fact, I do. {12600}{12690}Well I have to warn you that|I'm a career military strategist. {12715}{12770}Well I'll have to take my chances. {13239}{13280}Hey Doc! {13293}{13327}This is Sheppard. {13348}{13380}{Y:i}Yes Colonel. {13421}{13500}We may have to bump up|my first checking. {13908}{13992}The retrovirus isn't breaking down in his system,|like we hoped it would. {13993}{14057}- You're positive?|- Yes. In fact, {14058}{14142}it's beginning to alter his DNA.|If it's allowed to continue, {14143}{14223}he'll devolve into a creature|similar to what Ellia became. {14324}{14387}- How long do we have?|- I'm not sure exactly. {14388}{14474}- Ballpark. Months? Weeks?|- Days. We have days. {14542}{14582}OK, what's the plan? {14587}{14645}I've injected him with a viral inhibitor. {14646}{14750}It should slow down the retrovirus|as far as his cognitive abilities are concerned. {14758}{14800}But I'm afraid that's it so far. {14801}{14872}We're exploring various|treatments that may or may not be effective, so... {14873}{14910}No Carson, we don't have any time to explore. {14911}{14988}Come on, there's gotta be something in the Ancient|database that can help you find a treatment. {14989}{15048}I know that Elizabeth. We're doing our best. {15049}{15107}I'm sorry, I know. Of course you are. {15158}{15204}You should talk to him. {15205}{15250}He's hiding it very well, {15251}{15320}but if I was him, I'd be scared to death. {15417}{15459}How am I doing? {15663}{15748}Anything that has you speechless, has me concerned. {15753}{15834}- You're gonna be fine.|- That's dead man talk. {15835}{15910}- No it isn't.|- Have you seen this? {15915}{16004}- Beckett is gonna figure this one out.|- I think I already have. {16039}{16095}You know who I'm starting to feel like? {16097}{16128}Ford. {16129}{16176}Now, what happened to you is completely different. {16177}{16255}I know, I know, but still, I can feel it. {16256}{16356}I mean, I can feel it|changing me inside, like he did. {16366}{16419}I don't think that's even possible. {16420}{16528}- Look, you're very worried...|- No, no, it's... {16553}{16635}One of the best weeks|of my life was when I got my wisdom teeth out. {16636}{16709}I was on codeine for a full seven days.|This is kinda the same. {16710}{16768}I know I should be in pain. {16769}{16857}or at the very least, freaked out by this and I'm not. {16857}{16919}And that freaks me out more than anything. {16927}{16996}- We're gonna beat this.|- We're gonna beat this? {16997}{17072}Beckett will figure this out?|You're gonna be fine? {17078}{17158}You really suck at the whole bedside manner thing. {17160}{17206}I know, I'm sorry. {17224}{17280}But I appreciate the effort. {17292}{17406}No! No! No! That would only work if the retrovirus|is doing what we had originally intended it to do. {17407}{17507}I disagree. You are not taking into account,|what's happening to his somatic cells. {17508}{17567}The only thing I have to take into account,|is how off you are {17568}{17637}and I don't think I'm the only one|who sees that, so let's move on. {17638}{17695}Wait! Wait! Wait! Oh God. {17707}{17758}We're looking at this all wrong. {17759}{17793}The best idea we've had so far {17794}{17852}is to try to repair his system on the genetic level, {17853}{17924}by administering a massive clone,|embryonic stem cells treatment. {17925}{17963}I still think it's our best bet. {17964}{18020}Introducing more human genetic material into his body, {18021}{18069}is only going to give the retrovirus more fuel {18070}{18109}I don't know how much simpler I can say that! {18110}{18160}Yes, yes, I agree! {18172}{18272}That's why we have to use the Eratus Bug stem cells. {18288}{18314}Sorry? {18315}{18413}The Eratus Bug stem cell, programmed with Human RNA,|wouldn't get rejected by his system {18414}{18485}and would be practically ignored|by the current strain of retrovirus. {18486}{18540}- We attack it from the inside.|- Exactly, {18541}{18651}It would be like our own magic bullet,|that can navigate the retrovirus|and start to repair his mutated cells. {18652}{18732}The only bug cultures we have are|from a sample that died a year ago. {18733}{18795}{Y:i}I have no doubt we could program|the cells if we had them. {18796}{18925}But we do not have the time to artificially produce|a gene therapy of that kind of volume. {19005}{19165}Which means, ladies and gentlemen,|we need to go on an egghunt. {19310}{19364}It's OK.|Sit. Please. {19410}{19440}How's the Colonel? {19450}{19483}Not very well. {19484}{19520}I'm sorry to hear that. {19521}{19549}Yes, so am I. {19550}{19627}I think it would be best if you do assume|some of Colonel Sheppard's duties, until... {19628}{19659}Consider it done. {19670}{19720}Just until he's back on his feet. {19755}{19800}You two are pretty close, aren't you? {19880}{19950}Well, we've been through a lot together.|Yes. {20000}{20090}You got the best team in two galaxies,|working on a way to get him back to normal. {20135}{20240}My money's on success,|and if you need someone to talk to... {20241}{20295}If you could assume those duties,|effective immediately? {20296}{20320}I can do that. {20325}{20345}Thank you. {20500}{20560}The Ancient database has quite|a lot of information about the Eratus Bug. {20561}{20668}We know what planet it's on. We know that it likes|cool, damp, dark places to lay it's eggs. {20669}{20719}- It shouldn't be that hard to locate.|- Oh, wait a minute! {20720}{20802}The last time we ran into|one of these things, we almost lost Sheppard. {20803}{20863}How do you expect to just walk right|into one of their nests? {20875}{20915}{Y:i}I don't see that we have any other choice. {20916}{20994}We need the Eratus stem cells.|The best stem cells come from embryos. {20995}{21070}With them, we actually have a chance of saving|Colonel Sheppard. Without them he'll die. {21071}{21110}And this is the only option we have? {21111}{21150}And time's an issue as well. {21195}{21236}You have no idea what will happen. {21237}{21295}There's only one certainty.|What will happen if we do nothing. {21296}{21348}{Y:i}We all understand the risk, Dr Weir {21349}{21440}and I believe that Colonel Sheppard|would do the same for any one of us. {21525}{21561}Permission granted. {21562}{21605}I need an hour to get my things together. {21606}{21646}OK, gear up!|One hour. {21985}{22045}Look! I made a new friend! {22085}{22115}It's only protocol. {22116}{22170}That's your answer for everything. {22185}{22215}You look well. {22280}{22325}{Y:i}Should you be out of bed? {22335}{22420}I was going a little crazy down there,|so they said I could walk around for a bit. {22421}{22444}That's good. {22575}{22660}Look, I'm trying to say,|I want to go on this mission. {22665}{22750}You said yourself,|you're not fit for any offworld activity. {22775}{22926}The inhibitor that Beckett's got me on, the one that's|keeping me lucid, they keep having to up the dose. {22945}{22970}I know, they told me. {22971}{23030}Well, I don't know how much more time I have, {23031}{23173}but the last thing I wanna do,|is sit on my mutating hands, {23174}{23271}while my team puts their lives on the line,|trying to find me a cure! {23305}{23340}I should be with them. {23365}{23420}No!|I'm sorry. {23470}{23538}What's the worst that could happen.|I'd die? {23539}{23575}You could compromise the mission. {23576}{23665}- They have enough things to worry about...|- Oh, no, no. So what? Suddenly I'm a liability? {23666}{23715}Your condition can change rapidly. {23716}{23810}- I know and I know I can do this!|- I am glad you feel that way, {23811}{23910}- but it would be irresponsible of me...|- This is my life we're talking about! {23922}{23950}I know that. {23980}{24020}I'm going on that mission. {24021}{24066}No, John, you're not! {24100}{24125}Dammit! {24195}{24235}It's OK! Put it down! {24345}{24390}I'm betting that didn't sell you. {24425}{24475}No.|No not really. {24505}{24551}I should go back to the infirmary. {24600}{24620}Yes. {25180}{25210}So, what are we looking for? {25211}{25265}Well, according to the Ancient database,|probably a cave. {25266}{25360}Cool, damp and dark.|Which I translate, scary, awful, bad. {25361}{25402}They wouldn't want their nests out in the open. {25403}{25455}The cave keeps the eggs away from predators. {25456}{25492}I always figured they were the predator. {25493}{25535}I guarantee there's something out there worse. {25536}{25556}Really? {25557}{25597}They gotta feed on something. {25598}{25640}Thank you.|Thank you for that! {25641}{25666}You're welcome. {25675}{25733}The foot of that mountain range starts|about a mile up this way. {25734}{25769}It's probably our best bet for caves. {25770}{25789}{Y:i}Agreed! {25790}{25824}{Y:i}OK, let's pick up the pace! {26105}{26145}What do you think you're doing? {26160}{26205}Sergeant? You wanna give us a minute, please? {26260}{26289}What's the problem? {26290}{26305}{Y:i}This! {26306}{26423}This is the problem. Memo to all Atlantis|personnel regarding new security protocols. {26424}{26487}Is there a part there that you|disagree with in particular? {26488}{26590}You are just keeping Sheppard's chair warm, Colonel.|Don't lose sight of that. {26591}{26692}Look, he's done a good job here.
