1
00:00:01,543 --> 00:00:04,046
The princess is going to play...
2
00:00:04,087 --> 00:00:05,297
Where's the princess?
3
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:08,342
- Where's the princess in the tower?
- Right there.
4
00:00:08,509 --> 00:00:09,551
Which one?
5
00:00:11,220 --> 00:00:12,513
Put this one...
6
00:00:12,554 --> 00:00:14,765
This is how they need to get around, right?
7
00:00:16,141 --> 00:00:18,393
Go inside the train...
8
00:00:57,182 --> 00:00:58,267
Hello?
9
00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:04,273
Madison?
10
00:01:06,942 --> 00:01:08,068
Honey?
11
00:01:17,619 --> 00:01:18,579
Hi.
12
00:01:20,497 --> 00:01:21,498
Hey.
13
00:01:21,540 --> 00:01:22,416
So...
14
00:01:23,792 --> 00:01:25,127
how was your day?
15
00:01:30,007 --> 00:01:31,341
Send it to Graeme Peel.
16
00:01:31,383 --> 00:01:34,928
Graeme Peel has better things to do
than look over my nonsensical scribbles.
17
00:01:35,012 --> 00:01:37,181
Well, they didn't look nonsensical to me.
18
00:01:38,015 --> 00:01:39,391
Okay, fine, they did...
19
00:01:39,683 --> 00:01:41,602
but I'm an english major. What the hell do I know?
20
00:01:41,643 --> 00:01:42,853
Send it.
21
00:01:43,061 --> 00:01:44,730
What have you got to lose?
22
00:01:46,398 --> 00:01:47,357
Good night.
23
00:01:48,233 --> 00:01:49,151
Good night.
24
00:02:13,550 --> 00:02:14,843
I'll get it.
25
00:02:24,311 --> 00:02:25,562
Jean Miller?
26
00:02:26,271 --> 00:02:27,064
Yes.
27
00:02:27,189 --> 00:02:30,609
Hi. I'm Lieutenant Colonel Samantha Carter
of the United States Air Force.
28
00:02:31,485 --> 00:02:32,694
Okay.
29
00:02:32,903 --> 00:02:37,991
Did you send a math proof to professor Graeme Peel
of the California Institute of Technology?
30
00:02:39,034 --> 00:02:40,869
Was I not supposed to?
31
00:02:43,288 --> 00:02:44,873
Sorry to interrupt, kids. But...
32
00:02:44,915 --> 00:02:47,084
you need to pack your toothbrush,
head back to Earth.
33
00:02:47,125 --> 00:02:48,377
I do? Why?
34
00:02:48,418 --> 00:02:49,753
Carter needs help.
35
00:02:50,212 --> 00:02:51,255
With what?
36
00:02:51,296 --> 00:02:52,381
Your sister.
37
00:03:06,645 --> 00:03:09,857

40
00:04:09,291 --> 00:04:10,626
Welcome back to Earth.
41
00:04:10,667 --> 00:04:12,669
Yes, yes. What has my sister done?
42
00:04:12,711 --> 00:04:14,254
Good to see you, too, McKay.
43
00:04:14,379 --> 00:04:17,132
Greetings, salutations, pleasantries...
What's she done?
44
00:04:33,774 --> 00:04:34,942
I thought that...
45
00:04:38,820 --> 00:04:40,447
Well, it's certainly some...
46
00:04:40,614 --> 00:04:42,950
very interesting stuff, but...
47
00:04:43,116 --> 00:04:45,994
it can't be her work.
I mean, she's been out of the game for years.
48
00:04:46,036 --> 00:04:47,246
"The game"?
49
00:04:47,287 --> 00:04:50,582
Yeah, she hasn't published a single
theoretical physics paper in...
50
00:04:50,624 --> 00:04:53,460
- like, four years.
- Oh, that "game".
51
00:04:53,752 --> 00:04:55,587
She was on a fast track to some...
52
00:04:55,629 --> 00:04:58,632
pretty exciting grants,
doing some interesting work. I mean...
53
00:04:58,674 --> 00:05:00,300
she was no me, of course, but...
54
00:05:00,342 --> 00:05:02,135
she was at least a "you".
55
00:05:03,178 --> 00:05:04,388
Anyway...
56
00:05:04,513 --> 00:05:06,807
She got herself knocked up by some...
57
00:05:06,890 --> 00:05:08,225
English major,
58
00:05:08,350 --> 00:05:10,519
and her priorities shifted overnight.
59
00:05:10,561 --> 00:05:12,396
I tried to talk some sense into her, but...
60
00:05:12,437 --> 00:05:14,439
she's a tad on the stubborn side.
61
00:05:14,481 --> 00:05:16,275
When was the last time you spoke to her?
62
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,359
Four years, maybe.
63
00:05:17,401 --> 00:05:20,487
- Four years?
- Not that I didn't check to see if she's published.
64
00:05:22,656 --> 00:05:24,825
You realize what this proof means, right?
65
00:05:24,867 --> 00:05:26,785
Yes, well, if the math checks out.
66
00:05:26,869 --> 00:05:28,245
Oh, I've been over it. It checks out.
67
00:05:28,287 --> 00:05:30,747
Ah, well, no offense, blue eyes, but...
68
00:05:30,789 --> 00:05:32,749
I'd like a little more time with it myself.
69
00:05:32,833 --> 00:05:34,334
It checks out.
70
00:05:35,085 --> 00:05:36,670
And she said it just came to her?
71
00:05:36,712 --> 00:05:38,797
She was playing with her kid, and she got a notion.
72
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,551
A notion. That is just beautiful.
She's gonna love this.
73
00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:45,387
You didn't tell her I've been trying to prove
something like this myself, did you?
74
00:05:45,429 --> 00:05:48,182
- Not exactly.
- Oh, good, because she would just...
75
00:05:48,974 --> 00:05:49,975
Wait a minute.
76
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:51,143
Why not?
77
00:05:51,393 --> 00:05:53,854
See, that's part of the reason I asked you here.
78
00:05:53,896 --> 00:05:58,025
She's been cleared by the Pentagon,
but she refuses to sign the confidentiality agreement.
79
00:05:58,108 --> 00:06:00,444
She says she wants nothing to do with us.
80
00:06:00,777 --> 00:06:03,864
To be honest, she's been a bit of a pain in the ass.
81
00:06:04,239 --> 00:06:06,325
Well, forget her, then. I mean, she's made her choice.
82
00:06:06,366 --> 00:06:09,453
We'll just have to, you and I,
figure out how to implement it on our own.
83
00:06:09,494 --> 00:06:10,621
Let's see...
84
00:06:11,788 --> 00:06:13,332
Now, upon first glance,
85
00:06:13,415 --> 00:06:14,750
there are certainly some...
86
00:06:14,833 --> 00:06:18,504
missing pieces that
aren't exactly spelled out in the proof, but...
87
00:06:20,672 --> 00:06:21,465
What?
88
00:06:21,548 --> 00:06:24,760
You and I both know this would go
a lot faster if your sister were on board.
89
00:06:24,843 --> 00:06:26,512
What do you want me to do?
She's not gonna listen to me.
90
00:06:26,553 --> 00:06:27,596
You're her brother.
91
00:06:27,721 --> 00:06:28,514
Exactly.
92
00:06:35,229 --> 00:06:36,188
Hi.
93
00:06:36,855 --> 00:06:37,814
Hi...
94
00:06:39,525 --> 00:06:40,817
Long time no see.
95
00:06:40,859 --> 00:06:42,528
To say the least.
96
00:06:46,198 --> 00:06:47,950
Aren't you going to invite me in?
97
00:06:48,242 --> 00:06:49,576
Why are you here?
98
00:06:49,826 --> 00:06:52,663
I can't just stop by, say hi to my little sister?
99
00:06:52,746 --> 00:06:56,542
Well, we haven't spoken in four years,
and you've never done anything like this, so...
100
00:06:56,667 --> 00:06:58,293
- no, you can't.
- Well, I've been...
101
00:06:58,418 --> 00:06:59,878
kind of busy with...
102
00:07:00,003 --> 00:07:03,674
work. Doing a lot of traveling and such,
and I was called back on business, so...
103
00:07:03,966 --> 00:07:07,094
I was in town, and I thought I'd... you know.
104
00:07:07,511 --> 00:07:08,804
Wait a second.
105
00:07:09,096 --> 00:07:09,805
What?
106
00:07:09,847 --> 00:07:11,640
You're not here because of the physics proof, are you?
107
00:07:11,723 --> 00:07:13,559
What? No. I mean, sure, that's...
108
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,395
- part of the reason I'm here, but..
- You work for the U.S. Government?
109
00:07:16,436 --> 00:07:18,188
No, no, I work for an multinational
110
00:07:18,272 --> 00:07:20,315
- oversight advisory that...
- You know what? I don't care.
111
00:07:20,357 --> 00:07:23,694
I already told that... that Colonel person that
I don't want anything to do with them.
112
00:07:23,735 --> 00:07:25,988
- Do you have any idea what you've written?
- A math proof.
113
00:07:26,029 --> 00:07:26,822
Some...
114
00:07:26,905 --> 00:07:30,742
theoretical physics. I am willing to wager
it has no practical application at all.
115
00:07:30,826 --> 00:07:32,160
I'll take that action.
116
00:07:32,286 --> 00:07:32,995
What does that mean?
117
00:07:33,036 --> 00:07:35,497
- Just sign the damn agreement.
- No!
118
00:07:35,664 --> 00:07:40,002
Getting all proprietary about our research and ideas
is everything that's wrong with science today.
119
00:07:40,043 --> 00:07:42,963
- Here we go.
- Did you know that one-fifth of our genes,
120
00:07:43,005 --> 00:07:45,757
the very building blocks of our being,
have been patented
121
00:07:45,799 --> 00:07:47,551
by major pharmaceutical corporations?
122
00:07:47,634 --> 00:07:48,468
One-fifth!
123
00:07:48,635 --> 00:07:50,262
If there's any benefit at all
124
00:07:50,304 --> 00:07:52,890
to what I've written,
it's that it'll spark an idea in someone else.
125
00:07:53,015 --> 00:07:56,852
I am not gonna sign away my rights,
least of all to the U.S. Military.
126
00:07:56,935 --> 00:07:58,937
But it has sparked an idea in someone, a big one.
127
00:07:58,979 --> 00:07:59,855
Like what?
128
00:07:59,897 --> 00:08:01,273
Can't tell you, not till you sign the agreement.
129
00:08:01,356 --> 00:08:03,233
I'm not signing the agreement, until you tell me.
130
00:08:03,275 --> 00:08:04,735
Is everything okay?
131
00:08:05,068 --> 00:08:06,445
Look who showed up.
132
00:08:08,906 --> 00:08:11,074
It's my brother.
133
00:08:11,158 --> 00:08:13,035
Oh. Right.
134
00:08:13,285 --> 00:08:14,244
Hey.
135
00:08:16,330 --> 00:08:17,372
Hi!
136
00:08:20,459 --> 00:08:21,502
Hello, little one.
137
00:08:21,543 --> 00:08:24,713
- Did you bring me a present?
- Madison...
138
00:08:24,838 --> 00:08:26,507
What? No.
139
00:08:27,216 --> 00:08:29,301
- I didn't know that was a rule.
- It is.
140
00:08:29,551 --> 00:08:31,345
Well, I guess I broke that rule.
141
00:08:31,803 --> 00:08:33,889
I just made some dinner.
Would you care to join us?
142
00:08:34,097 --> 00:08:36,225
That would be great. Actually, I'm starving.
143
00:08:36,266 --> 00:08:40,395
- You have no idea what time zone I just came from.
- Well, I sure hope you like tofu chicken.
144
00:08:40,854 --> 00:08:42,523
I sure hope he's kidding.
145
00:08:48,237 --> 00:08:50,739
Not a fan of vegetarian cuisine...?
146
00:08:50,906 --> 00:08:52,032
Yes, well...
147
00:08:52,115 --> 00:08:54,409
I suppose I was just in the mood for...
148
00:08:54,618 --> 00:08:55,911
well, food.
149
00:08:56,411 --> 00:08:57,663
I'll give Maddie her bath.
150
00:08:57,704 --> 00:08:59,790
- You two catch up.
- Okay, hon.
151
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,793
- Hey, pop your head in before you leave.
- What? Why?
152
00:09:02,835 --> 00:09:04,628
Children like to say goodbye.
153
00:09:04,795 --> 00:09:07,548
Oh. The... yeah, sure. Sure.
154
00:09:11,552 --> 00:09:14,221
Boy, Madison's sure grown...?
155
00:09:14,555 --> 00:09:15,806
Since she was born?
156
00:09:15,848 --> 00:09:17,599
Yeah, yeah, she has.
157
00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:19,017
Okay, look...
158
00:09:19,226 --> 00:09:20,602
I don't wanna
waste any more of your time.
159
00:09:20,644 --> 00:09:24,898
You need to come with me right now.
Your proof could lead to something groundbreaking.
160
00:09:26,608 --> 00:09:27,860
How long would I be gone?
161
00:09:28,235 --> 00:09:29,528
A couple of months, tops.
162
00:09:29,611 --> 00:09:31,822
A couple of months? Are you joking? I...
163
00:09:32,197 --> 00:09:34,616
Madison has her first ballet recital next tuesday.
164
00:09:34,741 --> 00:09:37,244
She's four! How good could she possibly be?
165
00:09:37,286 --> 00:09:38,203
That's not the point!
166
00:09:38,370 --> 00:09:40,038
Hey, she's not gonna remember you not being there.
167
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,582
I'll remember me not being there.
168
00:09:41,623 --> 00:09:44,668
- This is bigger than your responsibilities...
- Okay...
169
00:09:44,710 --> 00:09:46,628
We've had this conversation before.
170
00:09:46,670 --> 00:09:50,591
You belittle my choices, I get furious at you,
and we don't talk for four years.
171
00:09:50,674 --> 00:09:52,593
I'm not all that anxious to do that again.
172
00:09:52,718 --> 00:09:55,345
This is not what dad would have wanted.
173
00:09:55,512 --> 00:09:57,806
No, he would have wanted us
working together, side by side,
174
00:09:57,848 --> 00:10:00,017
toppling problems and sharing credit.
175
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:02,644
Oh, you share credit now, do you?
176
00:10:02,728 --> 00:10:04,438
This is important, Jeanie.
177
00:10:04,563 --> 00:10:06,273
I mean, it's much more important
than you can ever imagine.
178
00:10:06,356 --> 00:10:08,150
For you, I am sure it is.
179
00:10:08,192 --> 00:10:11,778
But this, me being here, this is important for me.
180
00:10:12,029 --> 00:10:14,156
Why can't you accept that?
181
00:10:14,865 --> 00:10:16,241
You know, you leave me no choice.
182
00:10:16,283 --> 00:10:17,159
What?
183
00:10:17,242 --> 00:10:18,952
- Just give me your hand.
- Why?
184
00:10:18,994 --> 00:10:20,954
Please just give me your hand.
185
00:10:21,413 --> 00:10:22,581
Will you just...
186
00:10:30,714 --> 00:10:33,592
Okay, what the hell just happened?
187
00:10:33,675 --> 00:10:35,969
It's okay, you're perfectly safe.
188
00:10:36,637 --> 00:10:38,263
I don't feel perfectly safe.
189
00:10:38,305 --> 00:10:41,475
You've just been teleported to an interstellar
vessel in orbit around the planet.
190
00:10:41,475 --> 00:10:42,309
Please.
191
00:10:42,351 --> 00:10:45,646
Teleportation is about as likely as time travel.
192
00:10:47,272 --> 00:10:48,357
Yes, well...
193
00:10:59,243 --> 00:11:00,953
Oh... my.
194
00:11:01,411 --> 00:11:02,496
Oh, yes.
195
00:11:04,206 --> 00:11:05,207
Is that...
196
00:11:06,875 --> 00:11:09,670
- Why aren't we weightless?
- Artificial gravity...
197
00:11:09,711 --> 00:11:14,091
and yes, that is North America,
and you are in geosyncronous orbit.
198
00:11:14,091 --> 00:11:16,218
We work for something called the Stargate Program.
199
00:11:16,260 --> 00:11:17,094
Stargate?
200
00:11:17,135 --> 00:11:22,057
It's a device that creates stable, artificial wormholes
that allows us to travel between other planets,
201
00:11:22,099 --> 00:11:24,017
even other galaxies.
202
00:11:24,393 --> 00:11:27,813
What have you gotten yourself
involved in here, Meredith?
203
00:11:29,439 --> 00:11:30,524
Meredith?
204
00:11:30,566 --> 00:11:31,650
It's a long story.
205
00:11:31,775 --> 00:11:32,985
It's his name.
206
00:11:33,527 --> 00:11:35,779
Your name is Meredith McKay?
207
00:11:35,821 --> 00:11:38,532
Meredith Rodney McKay, yes,
but I prefer to go by "Rodney".
208
00:11:38,574 --> 00:11:42,494
Look, can we just stick to the point here?
Look out the window, much more interesting than my name.
209
00:11:42,536 --> 00:11:44,162
Your name is Meredith?
210
00:11:44,204 --> 00:11:48,292
So this, this is, like, a... like a space ship?
211
00:11:49,126 --> 00:11:52,421
This is a U.S. Air force vessel called the Daedalus.
212
00:11:52,462 --> 00:11:56,383
Your equation has real-world applications
I'm certain you've never even considered.
213
00:11:56,425 --> 00:11:58,010
You see, there are some...
214
00:11:58,218 --> 00:12:04,391
very bad creatures out there that want
nothing more but to destroy this planet
and everything that you hold dear.
215
00:12:04,766 --> 00:12:08,687
Did you say "creatures"?
Like... like alien creatures?
216
00:12:08,770 --> 00:12:09,563
Yes.
217
00:12:09,646 --> 00:12:13,775
Look, the work we could do is important, Jeanie.
It's not just to you or me...
218
00:12:13,817 --> 00:12:17,487
to every living being down there,
and that includes Madison and...
219
00:12:17,696 --> 00:12:19,698
- Kaleb.
- Kaleb, yes.
220
00:12:19,990 --> 00:12:21,867
We can't do this without you.
221
00:12:22,117 --> 00:12:22,910
Let's not go overboard.
222
00:12:23,076 --> 00:12:24,953
- I mean, she'd be an asset, but...
- McKay.
223
00:12:29,708 --> 00:12:31,919
So what do you say, Mrs. Miller?
224
00:12:33,003 --> 00:12:34,254
- Jeanie.
- Look,
225
00:12:34,296 --> 00:12:37,424
it's just a lot to take in right now, okay?
Just give me a second, Mer.
226
00:12:44,306 --> 00:12:46,391
So somewhere down there...
227
00:12:46,475 --> 00:12:49,478
my husband is giving my daughter a bath.
228
00:13:10,123 --> 00:13:11,416
You have to go.
229
00:13:14,253 --> 00:13:15,337
I know.
230
00:13:33,981 --> 00:13:35,274
What did you tell Kaleb?
231
00:13:35,315 --> 00:13:36,859
- The truth.
- What?
232
00:13:36,900 --> 00:13:38,986
Do you have any idea what "non-disclosure" means?
233
00:13:39,027 --> 00:13:41,780
Just because we don't keep secrets from
each other doesn't mean we're incapable of it.
234
00:13:41,822 --> 00:13:43,031
What did he say?
235
00:13:43,407 --> 00:13:46,326
He's concerned that me telling him
will get him assassinated.
236
00:13:46,910 --> 00:13:48,453
That won't happen, right?
237
00:13:48,495 --> 00:13:49,872
Probably not.
238
00:13:50,706 --> 00:13:53,876
Again, I'm sorry I couldn't come with you,
but there's just too much going on here.
239
00:13:53,917 --> 00:13:54,960
It's fine.
240
00:13:55,252 --> 00:13:59,131
I thought I could at least help you get Jeanie up to
speed before you guys are out of comm range.
241
00:13:59,548 --> 00:14:04,469
About a year ago, your brother came across an
abandoned alien experiment called project "Arcturus".
242
00:14:04,511 --> 00:14:06,722
It was an attempt to generate zero point energy.
243
00:14:06,763 --> 00:14:09,266
That would be virtually limitless power. What happened?
244
00:14:09,308 --> 00:14:12,769
A slight problem. It was the creation of exotic
particles in the containment field.
245
00:14:12,853 --> 00:14:14,438
He destroyed a solar system.
246
00:14:14,479 --> 00:14:15,606
Meredith!
247
00:14:15,689 --> 00:14:17,191
It was uninhabited.
248
00:14:17,232 --> 00:14:18,692
Your brother, along with many others,
249
00:14:18,734 --> 00:14:22,821
has been trying to figure out a way to
draw zero point energy from a parallel space time.
250
00:14:22,905 --> 00:14:24,948
Which would get us around
the whole problem of the creation of
251
00:14:24,990 --> 00:14:27,367
dangerous exotic particles
in our own space time.
252
00:14:27,409 --> 00:14:30,245
- And my theory is about bridging universes.
- Exactly.
253
00:14:30,287 --> 00:14:32,998
We're hoping to use your proof as the theoretical basis
254
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,084
for building a bridge from
a parallel space time to ours.
255
00:14:36,126 --> 00:14:38,587
The energy you'd need would be
enormous to the point of absurd.
256
00:14:38,629 --> 00:14:39,755
Absurd we can do.
257
00:14:39,796 --> 00:14:43,509
We have something called a Zero Point Module which
essentially does we're attempting on a smaller scale
258
00:14:43,550 --> 00:14:45,469
extract energy from subspace time.
259
00:14:45,511 --> 00:14:47,429
So subspace is real?
260
00:14:47,471 --> 00:14:48,889
You're flying in it.
261
00:14:51,016 --> 00:14:54,311
Aren't you worried about the exotic particles
crossing back over my bridge?
262
00:14:54,353 --> 00:14:56,271
Well, that's the beauty of your theory.
263
00:14:56,313 --> 00:15:00,943
It should not only allow us to build a bridge. It should
also allow us to manage the flow rate of energy.
264
00:15:00,984 --> 00:15:02,528
Like a faucet.
265
00:15:02,694 --> 00:15:05,822
- Well, something like that.
- It's exactly like that.
266
00:15:05,864 --> 00:15:07,658
What about the parallel universe?
Aren't you just...
267
00:15:07,699 --> 00:15:10,285
shifting the exotic particle problem to their side?
268
00:15:10,327 --> 00:15:11,328
Potentially.
269
00:15:11,370 --> 00:15:16,792
But when you consider that the number
of possible parallel universes that
we could access borders on the infinite,
270
00:15:16,834 --> 00:15:21,839
the odds of us choosing, at random,
one that's inhabited are astronomically slim.
271
00:15:23,841 --> 00:15:26,802
I know, it's an awful lot to take in at once.
272
00:15:27,010 --> 00:15:29,429
I solved your problem in my spare time...
273
00:15:29,471 --> 00:15:30,889
with finger paints.
274
00:15:30,931 --> 00:15:31,849
Here we go.
275
00:15:31,890 --> 00:15:34,351
I just can't imagine
how you're surviving the humiliation.
276
00:15:34,393 --> 00:15:37,104
Look, if it wasn't for my work,
your little theory would be useless...
277
00:15:37,145 --> 00:15:39,022
Siblings, please...
278
00:15:39,064 --> 00:15:40,190
- Sorry.
- Sorry.
279
00:15:42,609 --> 00:15:43,527
What?
280
00:15:44,945 --> 00:15:46,738
Well, it's just that you both said...
281
00:15:46,780 --> 00:15:50,200
"sorry"
in that cute little canadian way, and I...
282
00:15:51,535 --> 00:15:52,786
sorry.
283
00:15:53,036 --> 00:15:54,872
Touch base when you get back to Atlantis.
284
00:15:54,913 --> 00:15:56,081
Good luck.
285
00:15:58,041 --> 00:16:01,378
These alien creatures must be quite the threat
for you to even try what you're doing.
286
00:16:01,420 --> 00:16:04,089
I don't want to scare you,
but you need to know the stakes.
287
00:16:04,131 --> 00:16:05,465
We're at war.
288
00:16:05,924 --> 00:16:07,050
Did you start it?
289
00:16:07,092 --> 00:16:08,177
What? No!
290
00:16:08,218 --> 00:16:09,469
Come on...
291
00:16:15,058 --> 00:16:19,646
You've got a nota bene by the cosmological constant.
Why is that? Jeanie?
292
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,399
Hey.
293
00:16:24,234 --> 00:16:26,612
Yeah. While you're here, remember? Thank you.
294
00:16:26,820 --> 00:16:29,156
So there's your problem right there.
295
00:16:29,198 --> 00:16:30,490
What are you talking about? It's here,
296
00:16:30,532 --> 00:16:33,035
- and you made a mistake.
- No, I didn't. Okay. So...
297
00:16:33,076 --> 00:16:35,370
we need a yea or nay on the equations.
298
00:16:36,413 --> 00:16:37,581
Yea.
299
00:16:42,044 --> 00:16:44,671
Atlantis already has a containment chamber we can use.
300
00:16:44,713 --> 00:16:47,174
I'll forward the necessary modifications to Zelenka.
301
00:16:47,216 --> 00:16:48,342
If he doesn't mess it up,
302
00:16:48,383 --> 00:16:51,428
he can make the changes
we need before we even get there.
303
00:17:08,195 --> 00:17:09,321
Ready?
304
00:17:11,114 --> 00:17:13,116
Now, we've been through
these calculations a number of times,
305
00:17:13,158 --> 00:17:16,787
and I think we've settled on a containment
field setup that should work for us.
306
00:17:16,828 --> 00:17:18,539
I just want to show you these...
307
00:17:22,751 --> 00:17:24,962
Yes, we have it, people! Good work.
308
00:17:25,003 --> 00:17:26,463
Good work, everybody.
309
00:17:27,714 --> 00:17:29,049
Just in time.
310
00:17:29,258 --> 00:17:30,926
Had he talked about his sister with you?
311
00:17:30,968 --> 00:17:33,387
Once or twice in passing. Usually like,
312
00:17:33,428 --> 00:17:36,348
"Come on, even my sister can do that!"
You know, that type of thing.
313
00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:37,391
How's it coming, Radek?
314
00:17:37,432 --> 00:17:39,768
The simulations are all in the green.
We're ready to try power-up.
315
00:17:39,810 --> 00:17:42,771
- Just in time.
- That's actually what I just said.
316
00:17:46,358 --> 00:17:47,985
Holy cow...
317
00:17:48,110 --> 00:17:49,862
that can't be good for you.
318
00:17:49,903 --> 00:17:52,865
Nothing to worry about.
I've done it dozens of times.
319
00:17:53,657 --> 00:17:54,783
John Sheppard.
320
00:17:54,825 --> 00:17:57,077
Yeah. She's married, and she's my sister.
321
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:58,704
I'm just saying hi.
322
00:17:58,745 --> 00:18:01,915
Yeah. No, I know exactly what you're doing.
I've seen that look before, Kirk.
323
00:18:02,583 --> 00:18:03,584
Hello, Mrs. Miller.
324
00:18:03,625 --> 00:18:07,880
- I'm Dr. Elizabeth Weir. Welcome to Atlantis.
- Thank you. Mer's told me so much about you.
325
00:18:07,921 --> 00:18:09,298
All good, I...
326
00:18:10,090 --> 00:18:13,177
- did you just call him "Mer"?
- It's a pet name. Where are we?
327
00:18:13,218 --> 00:18:15,470
Simulations are all in the green.
We're ready to try a power-up.
328
00:18:15,512 --> 00:18:18,557
Really? So soon? That's amazing.
Excellent work, Radek.
329
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:19,558
Thank you.
330
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,936
Yes, we try not to encourage him.
He's got a bit of an ego.
331
00:18:31,486 --> 00:18:34,281
In-chamber conditions are green.
332
00:18:35,199 --> 00:18:37,659
Containment field is in the green.
333
00:18:38,202 --> 00:18:41,997
- Monitors are green.
- Everything's green.
334
00:18:42,289 --> 00:18:43,665
He likes to do the checklist.
335
00:18:43,790 --> 00:18:47,377
ZedPM levels are well into the green.
336
00:18:47,544 --> 00:18:51,215
And back-up terminals are green.
337
00:18:51,548 --> 00:18:53,175
We're ready to initiate power-up.
338
00:18:54,051 --> 00:18:54,968
Good luck.
339
00:18:55,010 --> 00:18:57,095
All right.
Here we go.
340
00:18:58,138 --> 00:19:00,307
Want you to turn it on together?
341
00:19:00,807 --> 00:19:02,226
Why would we do that?
342
00:19:02,392 --> 00:19:04,144
Because it's both of our work.
343
00:19:04,311 --> 00:19:07,606
- There's only room on the button for one finger, so...
- Well, then, can I do it?
344
00:19:07,648 --> 00:19:11,235
- Yeah, but I'm right here, so...
- He likes to push the button.
345
00:19:11,985 --> 00:19:14,655
- Fine. Go.
- Powering up to 5%.
346
00:19:22,287 --> 00:19:24,081
The containment field is holding.
347
00:19:24,289 --> 00:19:25,874
Power generation is steady.
348
00:19:25,916 --> 00:19:29,336
- What about exotic particles?
- Jeanie, please, I'm on it.
349
00:19:29,753 --> 00:19:33,048
We are holding at 5%.
350
00:19:33,257 --> 00:19:34,216
Good.
351
00:19:34,258 --> 00:19:36,593
- Now what?
- The safe thing to do is hold at
352
00:19:36,635 --> 00:19:39,471
- 5% for the next while.
- She wasn't talking to you.
353
00:19:39,930 --> 00:19:42,391
Actually, it was an open question to the floor.
354
00:19:42,432 --> 00:19:43,642
"Shared credit"...?
355
00:19:43,851 --> 00:19:47,938
- "We'll do this together"? "Dad'll be so proud."
- This is not the time or the place.
356
00:19:47,980 --> 00:19:49,064
Fine.
357
00:19:49,648 --> 00:19:52,484
- I'm going to my quarters.
- Yes. Well, good night. Thank you.
358
00:19:54,444 --> 00:19:55,487
So?
359
00:19:55,529 --> 00:19:59,116
Well, obviously we hold at 5% for the next while and
360
00:19:59,157 --> 00:20:00,784
see if any problems turn up.
361
00:20:01,368 --> 00:20:02,578
Right...
362
00:20:02,703 --> 00:20:04,913
I should probably try to get some rest myself.
363
00:20:05,414 --> 00:20:06,748
Could you...?
364
00:20:28,645 --> 00:20:29,771
What the...
365
00:20:30,063 --> 00:20:31,231
shut it down.
366
00:20:32,858 --> 00:20:34,234
...
367
00:20:34,610 --> 00:20:36,153
Foreign object?
368
00:20:36,695 --> 00:20:38,655
Go get Dr. Zelenka.
369
00:20:54,796 --> 00:20:56,048
It worked.
370
00:20:57,591 --> 00:20:59,051
What are you doing?
371
00:20:59,092 --> 00:21:00,135
Radek?
372
00:21:00,219 --> 00:21:01,178
Yes...
373
00:21:01,678 --> 00:21:04,473
I need to speak to whoever's in charge of this project.
374
00:21:05,682 --> 00:21:06,517
But...
375
00:21:06,642 --> 00:21:07,851
that's you.
376
00:21:09,019 --> 00:21:10,145
Well, then...
377
00:21:10,395 --> 00:21:12,856
I guess I need to speak to me.
378
00:21:28,580 --> 00:21:29,581
What is this?
379
00:21:29,831 --> 00:21:31,875
Hey, Meredith.
380
00:21:32,042 --> 00:21:33,418
Oh, wonderful.
381
00:21:33,877 --> 00:21:37,464
John here was kind enough to show me around,
offer me a warm meal, and
382
00:21:37,506 --> 00:21:39,842
- introduce me to some of your friends.
- What have you told them?
383
00:21:39,883 --> 00:21:41,677
We weren't talking about you.
384
00:21:41,844 --> 00:21:42,803
Oh, you weren't?
385
00:21:42,845 --> 00:21:45,305
No. We were discussing many things.
386
00:21:45,347 --> 00:21:47,015
Now, when the issue of...
387
00:21:47,057 --> 00:21:49,017
bedwetting happened to come up,
388
00:21:49,059 --> 00:21:51,687
she may have mentioned something about your childhood.
389
00:21:51,728 --> 00:21:52,813
That is not true.
390
00:21:52,855 --> 00:21:55,691
- Relax. We all have embarrassing childhood stories.
- Of course we do.
391
00:21:55,732 --> 00:21:59,152
There was one time the school bullies made me eat lunch
with my underwear on my head.
392
00:21:59,528 --> 00:22:01,363
Oh, wait, that was you.
393
00:22:03,198 --> 00:22:04,992
Oh, hardy har-har.
394
00:22:05,033 --> 00:22:07,369
And this is revenge for what, exactly?
395
00:22:07,411 --> 00:22:09,246
You don't even know, do you?
396
00:22:09,371 --> 00:22:12,791
Colonel Sheppard and Dr. McKay
to the isolation room immediately.
397
00:22:12,833 --> 00:22:14,334
Isolation room?
398
00:22:14,793 --> 00:22:16,128
Come on.
399
00:22:28,140 --> 00:22:29,391
What in the world...
400
00:22:29,433 --> 00:22:30,392
That's you.
401
00:22:30,976 --> 00:22:34,479
No, that is a live closed-circuit feed
402
00:22:34,521 --> 00:22:36,273
of a man we have
403
00:22:36,315 --> 00:22:38,233
in the isolation room.
404
00:22:46,366 --> 00:22:47,367
What?
405
00:22:47,701 --> 00:22:51,455
He appeared in the containment chamber
in some sort of force field.
406
00:22:51,872 --> 00:22:53,874
What do you mean, he appeared?
407
00:22:54,166 --> 00:22:55,709
Out of thin air.
408
00:22:56,168 --> 00:22:59,129
I have Zelenka working on it.
Obviously we shut down the project.
409
00:22:59,171 --> 00:23:00,547
How did he get in there?
410
00:23:01,089 --> 00:23:04,343
He claims to be from a parallel universe.
411
00:23:04,384 --> 00:23:06,303
You said the odds against this were astronomical...
412
00:23:06,345 --> 00:23:08,138
- You saw the math!
- We got it wrong...
413
00:23:08,180 --> 00:23:10,724
Yes, well, he's here now, so the question is,
what does he want?
414
00:23:10,766 --> 00:23:12,226
To talk to you.
415
00:23:14,311 --> 00:23:15,395
You want shared credit?
416
00:23:15,437 --> 00:23:16,939
- You're coming in with me.
- Wait...
417
00:23:30,077 --> 00:23:32,287
Now, I figured you'd be here, but...
418
00:23:32,329 --> 00:23:33,497
but Jeanie...
419
00:23:33,539 --> 00:23:35,582
I always hoped we'd work together in Atlantis.
420
00:23:36,750 --> 00:23:37,918
This is a first.
421
00:23:38,377 --> 00:23:39,586
- For me too.
- For me too.
422
00:23:39,795 --> 00:23:41,004
Have a seat.
423
00:23:41,547 --> 00:23:44,758
- Now, I presume you go by...
- Rodney.
424
00:23:46,260 --> 00:23:47,219
Rod.
425
00:23:47,261 --> 00:23:49,179
I could never get anyone to call me that.
426
00:23:49,972 --> 00:23:51,056
Okay,
427
00:23:51,098 --> 00:23:54,434
I'm gonna make some assumptions
based on what I've seen here and...
428
00:23:54,476 --> 00:23:57,145
from readings we've taken in my own space time.
429
00:23:57,187 --> 00:23:59,189
Please stop me if I'm wrong. One,
430
00:23:59,231 --> 00:24:04,319
I presume you're running some sort of experiment
that's designed to bridge between parallel universes?
431
00:24:04,361 --> 00:24:07,948
And two, it has something to do with power generation.
432
00:24:08,198 --> 00:24:09,449
Warm? Cold?
433
00:24:09,783 --> 00:24:10,659
Hot.
434
00:24:10,742 --> 00:24:14,788
Well, I'm sure the experiment has been
a success on this side, but it's having some
435
00:24:14,830 --> 00:24:17,124
rather serious repercussions in my universe.
436
00:24:17,165 --> 00:24:18,542
I told you.
437
00:24:18,584 --> 00:24:19,418
Not now.
438
00:24:19,459 --> 00:24:21,336
Dangerous exotic particles that don't belong
439
00:24:21,378 --> 00:24:24,715
in either of our universes
are being created on your side of the bridge.
440
00:24:25,591 --> 00:24:28,427
So, you knew this could happen?
441
00:24:28,886 --> 00:24:31,722
There was a slight risk, yes.
442
00:24:31,972 --> 00:24:32,973
This is weird.
443
00:24:33,015 --> 00:24:34,433
Well, you're quite correct, Jeanie,
444
00:24:34,474 --> 00:24:38,979
and because these particles don't behave according to
any of the laws of physics in our space time, they're
445
00:24:39,021 --> 00:24:42,024
creating a tear in the fabric of our universe.
446
00:24:42,274 --> 00:24:45,319
- First a solar system, now a universe.
- Yes.
447
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:47,279
How exactly did you get here?
448
00:24:48,322 --> 00:24:52,659
Well, we detected the anomaly about
20 hours ago in space above the planet.
449
00:24:52,701 --> 00:24:57,122
We maneuvered one of our Jumpers in close
and tried to broadcast a signal to
450
00:24:57,164 --> 00:24:58,415
whoever was on the other side.
451
00:24:58,457 --> 00:25:01,668
Yes, but of course, we would be unable to detect
that signal from within the containment chamber.
452
00:25:01,710 --> 00:25:05,881
So Sheppard and I came up with a plan
to beam a person into the anomaly.
453
00:25:05,923 --> 00:25:09,760
There he would be protected by
an Ancient personal force field that we discovered.
454
00:25:10,010 --> 00:25:11,345
I depleted ours.
455
00:25:11,678 --> 00:25:13,972
Still, it was an incredible risk.
456
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,600
Well, it was Sheppard's idea.
457
00:25:16,642 --> 00:25:21,438
We decided it might allow one of us to cross the bridge
you'd created and bring the problem to your attention.
458
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,232
There was very little time, and, well,
459
00:25:23,273 --> 00:25:24,691
there seemed to be no other way.
460
00:25:24,900 --> 00:25:26,109
We drew straws...
461
00:25:26,485 --> 00:25:27,569
You lost.
462
00:25:27,903 --> 00:25:28,987
I won.
463
00:25:29,112 --> 00:25:31,865
What, the prospect of saving an entire universe?
464
00:25:31,907 --> 00:25:33,158
No-brainer.
465
00:25:33,825 --> 00:25:35,244
Oh, sure.
466
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,039
I can't begin to say how sorry we are.
467
00:25:39,081 --> 00:25:41,041
Yes, well, you could
468
00:25:41,083 --> 00:25:43,335
- start by shutting down the experiment?
- Already done.
469
00:25:43,377 --> 00:25:46,755
And after hearing what you've told me,
I see no reason why we'd start it back up again.
470
00:25:46,797 --> 00:25:47,923
Great.
471
00:25:47,965 --> 00:25:49,424
Then my work here is done.
472
00:25:49,883 --> 00:25:51,343
Mission accomplished.
473
00:25:58,559 --> 00:26:00,018
Well, yes, but...
474
00:26:00,060 --> 00:26:01,937
how did you plan on getting,
475
00:26:01,979 --> 00:26:02,813
you know,
476
00:26:02,855 --> 00:26:03,647
back?
477
00:26:03,689 --> 00:26:05,148
I mean, to your own universe?
478
00:26:06,108 --> 00:26:09,194
The matter bridge you created is unidirectional.
479
00:26:09,820 --> 00:26:11,697
- But that means...
- Yes.
480
00:26:11,738 --> 00:26:13,198
Yes, it does.
481
00:26:18,787 --> 00:26:19,997
So, Jeanie
482
00:26:20,038 --> 00:26:21,790
do you have three kids in this universe?
483
00:26:21,832 --> 00:26:23,125
No. Just the one.
484
00:26:23,584 --> 00:26:27,379
Well, I'm sure you're as great a mother
in this space time as you are in mine.
485
00:26:27,796 --> 00:26:29,256
This will blow your mind.
486
00:26:29,298 --> 00:26:32,217
I have photographs of your alternate life.
487
00:26:32,259 --> 00:26:33,760
Want to see pictures of the kids you haven't had yet?
488
00:26:33,802 --> 00:26:38,473
- Absolutely. Oh, look at Maddie. Who's that?
- That's Bradley and Robbie.
489
00:26:38,932 --> 00:26:40,475
All right, what's the game plan here?
490
00:26:40,517 --> 00:26:43,145
We put him up in the guest quarters until
we can find something more permanent.
491
00:26:43,187 --> 00:26:45,397
Something more permanent?
Well, we're not keeping him.
492
00:26:45,439 --> 00:26:46,440
He can't go back.
493
00:26:46,481 --> 00:26:48,192
That just doesn't mean he has to stay here.
494
00:26:48,233 --> 00:26:49,860
He said he'd rather be on Atlantis than Earth.
495
00:26:49,902 --> 00:26:51,528
Oh, I see. So he gets his way and I don't?
496
00:26:51,570 --> 00:26:53,864
How can you not want to be with him? He's you!
497
00:26:53,906 --> 00:26:56,200
He's not me. I'm me, the real me.
498
00:26:56,241 --> 00:26:57,618
I suppose it's all relative.
499
00:26:57,659 --> 00:27:00,829
To Rod, his reality is every bit as valid as ours.
To him...
500
00:27:00,871 --> 00:27:02,414
we're the impostors.
501
00:27:02,456 --> 00:27:04,208
What does Elizabeth have to say about all of this?
502
00:27:04,249 --> 00:27:05,709
Two McKays are better than one.
503
00:27:05,751 --> 00:27:09,379
There aren't two McKays!
There's one McKay and him.
504
00:27:10,255 --> 00:27:11,381
Whatever you say...
505
00:27:11,798 --> 00:27:13,425
Meredith.
506
00:27:28,398 --> 00:27:30,025
Nice shot.
507
00:27:30,108 --> 00:27:32,236
Easily 275.
508
00:27:32,611 --> 00:27:33,403
You know,
509
00:27:33,445 --> 00:27:36,740
I've been meaning to put up buoy markers, but..
510
00:27:36,782 --> 00:27:38,158
who has the time...?
511
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,576
This is great.
512
00:27:39,618 --> 00:27:40,869
We don't have one of these where I'm from.
513
00:27:40,911 --> 00:27:45,332
Besides, you'd need to take a cattle prod to
the Sheppard I know to get him up this early.
514
00:27:45,958 --> 00:27:47,918
Late nights partying...?
515
00:27:49,127 --> 00:27:50,963
If you could call it that.
516
00:27:51,004 --> 00:27:54,216
He's very active with the mensa club we have there.
517
00:27:54,299 --> 00:27:56,593
They have a lot of... "functions."
518
00:27:56,635 --> 00:27:57,719
Well...
519
00:27:58,303 --> 00:28:00,347
you can't blame a man for his intelligence.
520
00:28:00,389 --> 00:28:02,015
No, but
521
00:28:02,099 --> 00:28:04,393
I can blame him for reminding all the time.
522
00:28:04,601 --> 00:28:06,436
- He doesn't.
- Trust me.
523
00:28:06,562 --> 00:28:09,064
My Sheppard makes your Rodney seem
524
00:28:09,147 --> 00:28:10,983
modest in comparison.
525
00:28:12,442 --> 00:28:14,903
Well, I've got to admit,
526
00:28:14,945 --> 00:28:16,655
between you and me,
527
00:28:17,030 --> 00:28:19,491
you're a lot different than our Rodney too.
528
00:28:19,616 --> 00:28:20,742
How so?
529
00:28:21,535 --> 00:28:23,829
It's the little things.
530
00:28:23,871 --> 00:28:28,083
You like golf,
you say "please" and "thank you", you're...
531
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:30,878
what's the opposite of condescending?
532
00:28:39,469 --> 00:28:41,930
Now, I could help you with that hook.
533
00:28:52,191 --> 00:28:53,734
What the hell is this?
534
00:28:53,775 --> 00:28:55,277
Hey, sleepyhead.
535
00:28:55,319 --> 00:28:56,236
Yeah. Hi.
536
00:28:56,278 --> 00:28:59,573
I had a breakfast date with Jeanie.
I guess it kind of ballooned into a group affair.
537
00:28:59,615 --> 00:29:01,200
Look, sit down. We're tracing back our lives,
538
00:29:01,241 --> 00:29:03,202
trying to find the little differences
between our pasts.
539
00:29:03,243 --> 00:29:05,954
Rod is an honorary member
of the athosian council.
540
00:29:05,996 --> 00:29:09,416
- And is godfather to his niece and nephews.
- Yes, well, how wonderful for him.
541
00:29:09,458 --> 00:29:13,795
Well, it's easier for me. Our Earth has a ZedPM too,
so it makes the back and forth a lot simpler.
542
00:29:13,837 --> 00:29:16,381
Drs. McKay, please report to the containment chamber.
543
00:29:16,423 --> 00:29:17,716
Drs. McKay.
544
00:29:18,091 --> 00:29:19,510
- Excuse me.
- Excuse me.
545
00:29:19,801 --> 00:29:23,805
- Hey, Rod, are we still on to spar later?
- Absolutely.
546
00:29:29,561 --> 00:29:31,146
What do you mean you started it up again?
547
00:29:31,188 --> 00:29:34,775
Shutting the experiment down only
made things worse for us, not better.
548
00:29:34,816 --> 00:29:36,485
The matter bridge is still active,
549
00:29:36,527 --> 00:29:38,320
but we are not drawing any power,
550
00:29:38,362 --> 00:29:41,198
creating pressure, like a dam.
551
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,035
If we didn't turn it on again,
it could have resulted in a catastrophic overload.
552
00:29:45,285 --> 00:29:46,828
We should have thought of that.
553
00:29:47,704 --> 00:29:48,580
Don't look at me.
554
00:29:48,622 --> 00:29:50,832
So you're willing to take all the credit,
but none of the blame?
555
00:29:50,874 --> 00:29:52,417
I never wanted all the credit.
556
00:29:52,501 --> 00:29:54,711
- No one is blaming you.
- Oh, really?
557
00:29:54,837 --> 00:29:57,256
Look, this is just a temporary solution.
558
00:29:57,297 --> 00:30:01,093
The Zelenka in my space time estimates
that there is at least a week and a half
559
00:30:01,134 --> 00:30:03,428
before the tear expands as far as the city...
560
00:30:03,679 --> 00:30:05,389
my city.
561
00:30:05,430 --> 00:30:07,224
What will happen when it does?
562
00:30:07,474 --> 00:30:08,892
Imagine what would happen if you just
563
00:30:08,934 --> 00:30:10,727
threw the laws of physics out the window.
564
00:30:10,769 --> 00:30:12,563
Entropy. Chaos.
565
00:30:12,604 --> 00:30:16,191
Worst-case scenario,
the entropy expands as far as the subspace layers
566
00:30:16,233 --> 00:30:17,526
underneath our space time...
567
00:30:17,568 --> 00:30:18,902
It could travel almost instantaneously.
568
00:30:18,944 --> 00:30:21,572
Your entire universe could flash out of existence.
569
00:30:21,613 --> 00:30:24,241
We need to mend
that tear before it becomes irreparable.
570
00:30:24,283 --> 00:30:26,952
Now, I have some thoughts.
Is there a place we can go to work?
571
00:30:26,994 --> 00:30:28,996
Yes, of course. Follow me.
572
00:30:29,413 --> 00:30:31,915
Oh, Jeanie, we could use your help.
573
00:30:31,999 --> 00:30:33,208
Thank you.
574
00:30:35,752 --> 00:30:37,629
Do you mind running up these power requirements?
575
00:30:37,671 --> 00:30:39,173
Done.
576
00:30:42,968 --> 00:30:44,720
What were you doing having breakfast with him?
577
00:30:44,761 --> 00:30:47,264
I don't often meet people from another universe.
578
00:30:47,306 --> 00:30:49,266
I found myself curiously interested.
579
00:30:49,308 --> 00:30:51,226
I don't want you hanging around with him anymore.
580
00:30:51,268 --> 00:30:52,144
What?
581
00:30:52,436 --> 00:30:54,146
Look, I am your real brother.
582
00:30:54,188 --> 00:30:54,980
In what sense?
583
00:30:55,022 --> 00:30:56,523
Oh, what is that supposed to mean?
584
00:30:56,565 --> 00:30:58,984
You haven't been a brother to me since I quit school.
585
00:30:59,026 --> 00:31:00,652
You were making an incredible mistake.
586
00:31:00,694 --> 00:31:04,072
- I was just trying to...
- You were trying to control my life, Mer.
587
00:31:04,114 --> 00:31:05,908
I disagreed with you. I still do.
588
00:31:05,949 --> 00:31:09,453
- And what, because of that, you stop being my brother?
- I never stopped being your brother.
589
00:31:09,494 --> 00:31:12,039
We haven't talked in four years.
590
00:31:12,372 --> 00:31:14,458
- Don't put that all on me.
- It is all on you.
591
00:31:14,499 --> 00:31:16,627
I had no way of getting in touch with you.
592
00:31:16,668 --> 00:31:19,755
I was doing top-secret research in another galaxy!
593
00:31:20,422 --> 00:31:21,757
You could have sent me a message.
594
00:31:21,798 --> 00:31:23,800
You know, call me on my birthday,
595
00:31:23,842 --> 00:31:24,927
at Christmas.
596
00:31:24,968 --> 00:31:27,137
Once a year that's all I would have needed.
597
00:31:27,179 --> 00:31:31,517
Just a
"Hi. How are you? Are you happy? Are you okay?"
598
00:31:31,725 --> 00:31:33,977
That would have been enough,
but you didn't even do that.
599
00:31:34,019 --> 00:31:36,563
No, no. I was wrong and you were right, so...
600
00:31:36,605 --> 00:31:39,149
what, I was not worth talking to?
601
00:31:39,274 --> 00:31:40,692
It wasn't like that at all.
602
00:31:41,026 --> 00:31:45,572
You don't like me talking to Rod because it makes
you realize how bad a brother you've really been.
603
00:31:46,198 --> 00:31:49,243
Hey, have you guys got something over there?
604
00:31:50,202 --> 00:31:53,497
No. We don't.
605
00:31:57,876 --> 00:31:59,711
- He's slowing me down.
- Really?
606
00:31:59,753 --> 00:32:03,382
- I thought two of you would have sped things up.
- Yeah, he's not me.
607
00:32:03,507 --> 00:32:05,050
I know he's not the same person. Trust me.
608
00:32:05,092 --> 00:32:07,344
I'm just saying, he's a genius too, isn't he?
609
00:32:07,469 --> 00:32:08,846
Unless he's lying.
610
00:32:08,887 --> 00:32:09,638
About what?
611
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,933
What if the people on his Atlantis
were sick of him messing up all the time...?
612
00:32:12,975 --> 00:32:16,562
So when it came time to send some stooge
on a one-way ticket to another universe,
613
00:32:16,603 --> 00:32:18,856
there was only one guy they could do without.
614
00:32:18,897 --> 00:32:20,649
Say what you want I know what this is about.
615
00:32:20,691 --> 00:32:21,608
Oh, really,
616
00:32:21,650 --> 00:32:24,695
Mr. Mensa in a parallel universe,
what is this all about?
617
00:32:24,903 --> 00:32:27,531
- You think Jeanie likes him more than you.
- What?
618
00:32:27,573 --> 00:32:28,615
That's crazy.
619
00:32:28,782 --> 00:32:30,450
That's... that's...
620
00:32:31,285 --> 00:32:32,786
that's possibly true.
621
00:32:35,581 --> 00:32:37,207
Jeanie and I drifted apart.
622
00:32:37,249 --> 00:32:39,209
I mean, that happens. It wasn't done maliciously.
623
00:32:39,251 --> 00:32:42,171
Do I have regrets? Yes, of course I do.
But who doesn't? I mean...
624
00:32:42,296 --> 00:32:45,632
I'm not very good at saying
I'm sorry or that I'm wrong,
625
00:32:45,883 --> 00:32:48,552
possibly because it happens so rarely.
626
00:32:49,761 --> 00:32:51,180
So I didn't call or write,
627
00:32:51,221 --> 00:32:54,725
and when I realized
that four years has gone by, it was just a...
628
00:32:56,101 --> 00:32:57,394
you're right.
629
00:32:57,811 --> 00:32:59,354
Of course, you're right.
630
00:32:59,897 --> 00:33:02,024
She has every reason to hate me.
631
00:33:02,232 --> 00:33:04,693
- I didn't say she hates you.
- Well, she should.
632
00:33:05,861 --> 00:33:07,696
- If you insist.
- I do.
633
00:33:07,738 --> 00:33:08,947
Fair enough.
634
00:33:09,656 --> 00:33:11,742
Dr. McKay to the containment chamber.
635
00:33:11,783 --> 00:33:12,993
Dr. McKay.
636
00:33:14,077 --> 00:33:15,954
Good talk.
Thanks.
637
00:33:22,294 --> 00:33:24,588
- Great. He's here.
- What's going on?
638
00:33:24,630 --> 00:33:26,465
I set up a way to pick up transmissions
639
00:33:26,507 --> 00:33:29,635
inside the containment chamber
should Rod's universe try to contact us.
640
00:33:29,676 --> 00:33:33,180
We, of course, still have no way
of communicating with them, but...
641
00:33:33,222 --> 00:33:34,306
They sent us a message?
642
00:33:34,348 --> 00:33:37,059
Yeah. Apparently their exotic particle
problem is spinning out of control
643
00:33:37,142 --> 00:33:39,019
much faster than they had anticipated.
644
00:33:39,061 --> 00:33:40,020
Oh, boy
645
00:33:40,062 --> 00:33:41,480
But they have a solution.
646
00:33:41,605 --> 00:33:44,024
- They do? That's great.
- Well, not really.
647
00:33:44,274 --> 00:33:49,530
Their solution will not only destroy Atlantis,
but tear a hole in the fabric of this universe.
648
00:33:50,697 --> 00:33:52,157
Oh, boy.
649
00:33:59,206 --> 00:34:03,085
Now, I'm not saying that
their attempt would be successful, but if it was,
650
00:34:03,126 --> 00:34:08,382
it would flood the exotic particles that have been
created on their side into this space time all at once.
651
00:34:08,423 --> 00:34:10,425
- And that would...
- Be bad.
652
00:34:10,467 --> 00:34:12,886
- Right, I got that but...
- How bad?
653
00:34:12,928 --> 00:34:16,640
Well, to be honest,
the science gets extremely complicated, but
654
00:34:16,682 --> 00:34:17,558
simply put,
655
00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:21,687
the tear will eventually swallow up
the entire galaxy, possibly the universe.
656
00:34:21,728 --> 00:34:22,896
So...
657
00:34:23,272 --> 00:34:24,481
very bad.
658
00:34:24,523 --> 00:34:26,441
Well, I think we can all agree
that would be bad, yes.
659
00:34:26,483 --> 00:34:28,944
Their plan will take six hours to implement.
660
00:34:28,986 --> 00:34:31,363
- I suggest we do something before that.
- Well, we have an idea.
661
00:34:31,405 --> 00:34:34,116
Actually, Jeanie has an idea.
662
00:34:34,992 --> 00:34:39,371
We think we can collapse the bridge with
a massive burst of energy from this side.
663
00:34:39,496 --> 00:34:43,125
And stop the creation of exotic particles
on the other side by doing so.
664
00:34:43,917 --> 00:34:47,254
- How massive a burst are we talking?
- Everything we've got.
665
00:34:47,296 --> 00:34:49,923
I mean, enough to severely deplete our ZedPM.
666
00:34:50,465 --> 00:34:53,635
So instead of creating a new powerful energy source,
667
00:34:53,677 --> 00:34:56,221
we'll be sacrificing the one we already have.
668
00:34:56,263 --> 00:34:57,055
Yes.
669
00:34:57,097 --> 00:35:01,268
We'd still be able to dial Earth, but much
less frequently, of course. And let's just say
670
00:35:01,310 --> 00:35:04,188
I wouldn't want to be around here
if the Wraith show up.
671
00:35:07,900 --> 00:35:10,277
I don't see that we have a choice.
672
00:35:12,529 --> 00:35:13,572
All right.
673
00:35:13,864 --> 00:35:14,823
Do it.
674
00:35:16,533 --> 00:35:20,204
- Dr. Weir gave the okay for this?
- You'd rather the universe was destroyed?
675
00:35:20,829 --> 00:35:21,788
Not really.
676
00:35:21,830 --> 00:35:23,832
Rodney, can I talk to you for a second?
677
00:35:28,170 --> 00:35:30,756
Look, the Daedalus is still in orbit. I thought...
678
00:35:30,797 --> 00:35:32,132
I know what you're gonna say.
679
00:35:32,466 --> 00:35:36,428
If I can beam into the energy stream
protected by my personal force field...
680
00:35:36,470 --> 00:35:40,265
You'd be transported back to your own universe.
I didn't bring it up before because
681
00:35:40,307 --> 00:35:41,600
if it doesn't work...
682
00:35:41,808 --> 00:35:43,560
I'm willing to take that risk.
683
00:35:43,810 --> 00:35:49,525
I've already requested the Daedalus
to execute the transport to the coordinates
inside the chamber on your mark.
684
00:35:49,733 --> 00:35:51,985
That is, if you're willing to do this.
685
00:35:52,402 --> 00:35:54,196
Everyone loves you here.
686
00:35:55,197 --> 00:35:56,740
Yeah, but it's not home.
687
00:35:56,782 --> 00:35:57,950
Look, what...
688
00:35:57,991 --> 00:35:59,451
my Sheppard is a know-it-all,
689
00:35:59,493 --> 00:36:01,662
my Teyla is hard to talk to, and...
690
00:36:01,703 --> 00:36:02,996
my Ronon is...
691
00:36:03,455 --> 00:36:05,832
well, actually those two are pretty similar.
692
00:36:07,042 --> 00:36:08,961
I guess what I'm trying to say is that
693
00:36:09,002 --> 00:36:10,546
for all their faults...
694
00:36:11,088 --> 00:36:12,631
they're my team.
695
00:36:12,673 --> 00:36:14,424
My place is with them.
696
00:36:14,675 --> 00:36:15,676
Besides...
697
00:36:15,884 --> 00:36:18,136
they're not looking for another McKay around here.
They already have one.
698
00:36:18,178 --> 00:36:20,097
It's just a lesser model...?
699
00:36:20,722 --> 00:36:21,932
I envy you.
700
00:36:22,349 --> 00:36:25,435
You say exactly what's on your mind
no matter how it makes you look.
701
00:36:25,477 --> 00:36:29,481
I can only imagine the freedom
you must have not caring if people like you or not.
702
00:36:29,731 --> 00:36:31,233
People don't like me?
703
00:36:31,275 --> 00:36:32,526
Trust me.
704
00:36:32,568 --> 00:36:33,986
You've got it great here.
705
00:36:34,027 --> 00:36:36,738
Now, I've made some calculations.
706
00:36:36,780 --> 00:36:38,657
When the readings reach the levels I've indicated,
707
00:36:38,699 --> 00:36:40,367
you'll know whether or not I've made it home.
708
00:36:42,327 --> 00:36:45,414
I guess you just need
to click your heels together...?
709
00:36:46,290 --> 00:36:47,833
Good luck, Rodney.
710
00:36:49,042 --> 00:36:50,294
You too.
711
00:36:52,337 --> 00:36:53,505
Radek...
712
00:36:53,964 --> 00:36:54,882
"mej se".
713
00:36:58,051 --> 00:36:59,344
Jeanie...
714
00:37:09,688 --> 00:37:12,649
- You're letting him do this?
- I tried to talk him out of it, but
715
00:37:12,691 --> 00:37:14,109
you know Rod.
716
00:37:14,276 --> 00:37:16,737
Hermiod, ready when you are.
717
00:37:17,404 --> 00:37:19,281
I guess there's nothing left to say but...
718
00:37:19,323 --> 00:37:21,200
"There's no place like home".
719
00:37:25,329 --> 00:37:26,997
All right, all in the green.
720
00:37:27,039 --> 00:37:28,832
Ready for forced power output.
721
00:37:29,333 --> 00:37:31,001
Right. And...
722
00:37:34,713 --> 00:37:36,256
you wanna press the button?
723
00:37:37,007 --> 00:37:39,510
Yeah. Yeah, sure.
724
00:37:45,641 --> 00:37:47,059
Power is at full.
725
00:37:47,893 --> 00:37:49,102
It's working!
726
00:37:51,021 --> 00:37:53,440
Hermiod, this is McKay. Commence transport.
727
00:37:54,107 --> 00:37:55,734
Transport is complete.
728
00:37:55,776 --> 00:37:58,654
- The bridge is already beginning to destabilize.
- It's not yet enough.
729
00:37:58,695 --> 00:38:01,406
- ZedPM is at 50%.
- It's still not enough, Rodney!
730
00:38:01,448 --> 00:38:03,700
- We have to max it out.
- 30%!
731
00:38:05,619 --> 00:38:06,954
The bridge is collapsing.
732
00:38:06,995 --> 00:38:08,580
- We've done it!
- Okay, we can shut it down now.
733
00:38:08,622 --> 00:38:09,831
- Not yet!
- What?
734
00:38:09,873 --> 00:38:12,626
According to these readings,
if we shut it down now, he won't make it!
735
00:38:12,668 --> 00:38:14,545
Give it a few more seconds.
736
00:38:15,003 --> 00:38:16,547
ZPM is at 5%!
737
00:38:16,588 --> 00:38:17,798
Almost there...
738
00:38:18,257 --> 00:38:19,675
cut power now!
739
00:38:20,843 --> 00:38:24,096
How much power did you drain from the ZPM?
740
00:38:25,347 --> 00:38:27,266
...
741
00:38:29,226 --> 00:38:30,310
All of it.
742
00:38:31,270 --> 00:38:33,397
I drained all of it.
743
00:38:34,565 --> 00:38:36,149
You did the right thing.
744
00:38:37,609 --> 00:38:39,862
Well, I suppose I would've done the same thing for...
745
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:41,405
me.
746
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,619
I am so fired.
747
00:38:49,288 --> 00:38:50,372
Jeanie...
748
00:38:50,414 --> 00:38:52,332
this is your brother, Rodney.
749
00:38:52,541 --> 00:38:54,376
I want to say...
750
00:38:55,961 --> 00:38:58,589
family is important,
751
00:38:59,047 --> 00:39:02,259
I've come to realize that because
the people here have become a sort of
752
00:39:02,926 --> 00:39:05,095
surrogate family to me.
753
00:39:05,345 --> 00:39:07,347
I know what you're thinking, I've never really been the
754
00:39:07,389 --> 00:39:09,808
poster child for that kind of sentiment, but
755
00:39:09,850 --> 00:39:11,018
when...
756
00:39:11,059 --> 00:39:14,188
when one's contemplating one's own demise,
one tends to see things...
757
00:39:14,688 --> 00:39:16,023
more clearly.
758
00:39:17,858 --> 00:39:20,444
I really do wish you the best, you know
759
00:39:20,694 --> 00:39:22,988
and I'm sorry we weren't closer.
760
00:39:23,030 --> 00:39:24,489
Perhaps...
761
00:39:26,867 --> 00:39:30,329
if, by chance, I make it out of this,
perhaps one day we can be,
762
00:39:30,579 --> 00:39:32,122
and I would like that.
763
00:39:33,332 --> 00:39:35,501
Now, if there's time, I'd like to...
764
00:39:37,002 --> 00:39:38,462
When did he record this?
765
00:39:38,504 --> 00:39:42,799
Couple years back when we thought
the bad guys were gonna get us.
766
00:39:44,718 --> 00:39:47,846
- Now I've seen three sides of my brother.
- Yeah.
767
00:39:48,972 --> 00:39:50,891
What are you two up to?
768
00:39:52,392 --> 00:39:53,894
Nothing. Just...
769
00:39:53,936 --> 00:39:55,521
telling stories about you.
770
00:39:55,562 --> 00:39:56,563
You know,
771
00:39:56,605 --> 00:39:58,315
trying to help her fall sleep.
772
00:39:59,608 --> 00:40:01,485
I'll leave you guys alone.
773
00:40:10,035 --> 00:40:10,953
Hey.
774
00:40:11,203 --> 00:40:12,079
Hey.
775
00:40:12,955 --> 00:40:15,958
Hey, you should be packing.
Daedalus leaves in the morning.
776
00:40:17,793 --> 00:40:19,086
I'm done.
777
00:40:19,545 --> 00:40:21,129
How'd it go with Weir?
778
00:40:22,214 --> 00:40:25,843
Well, she wasn't too happy
about the whole killing-the-ZedPM but...
779
00:40:25,884 --> 00:40:29,888
you know, in the grand scheme of things,
we did prevent the destruction of the universe, so...
780
00:40:29,930 --> 00:40:31,849
you know, not fired.
781
00:40:31,890 --> 00:40:34,059
- That's good.
- Yeah.
782
00:40:36,228 --> 00:40:37,521
Oh, right...
783
00:40:38,188 --> 00:40:39,523
I got this for Madison.
784
00:40:41,942 --> 00:40:43,026
Yeah.
785
00:40:43,235 --> 00:40:44,987
I swiped it from Weir's desk.
786
00:40:45,445 --> 00:40:50,909
- It's not like there's a toys "R" US nearby, so...
- Well, it's the thought that counts, I guess.
787
00:40:54,037 --> 00:40:56,707
Well, I'd say "see you around", but...
788
00:40:56,748 --> 00:40:57,875
Yes...
789
00:40:58,458 --> 00:40:59,835
about that...
790
00:41:03,463 --> 00:41:05,340
which is to say...
791
00:41:06,216 --> 00:41:07,259
look,
792
00:41:07,801 --> 00:41:10,012
what I wanted to...
793
00:41:13,015 --> 00:41:14,641
Thank you for trying.
794
00:41:27,321 --> 00:41:28,572
How are you?
795
00:41:29,031 --> 00:41:30,115
Are you happy?
796
00:41:30,574 --> 00:41:33,994
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, Mer. I am.
797
00:41:34,745 --> 00:41:35,996
I really am.
798
00:41:42,503 --> 00:41:45,589
Intergalactic Gate network
should be completed soon, so...
799
00:41:46,548 --> 00:41:49,885
- maybe it won't be four years next time?
- Does this mean I'll see you at Christmas?
800
00:41:49,927 --> 00:41:52,387
If you can convince Kaleb
801
00:41:53,180 --> 00:41:54,973
not to make tofurkey.
802
00:41:55,432 --> 00:41:56,975
No promises.
803
00:42:15,744 --> 00:42:18,205
Am I just not getting the team e-mails anymore?
804
00:42:18,247 --> 00:42:21,500
- Take it easy. We're just talking about Rod.
- Oh, yeah. Of course you are.
805
00:42:21,542 --> 00:42:23,210
Do you think he made it back to his universe?
806
00:42:23,252 --> 00:42:26,046
Hard to say, really, but I doubt he'll be back, though.
807
00:42:26,088 --> 00:42:28,507
That's good. We found him a little...
808
00:42:28,757 --> 00:42:29,758
creepy.
809
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:30,467
What?
810
00:42:30,509 --> 00:42:32,511
I can't stand people who are nice all the time.
811
00:42:32,553 --> 00:42:34,429
It makes me feel like they're trying to hide something.
812
00:42:34,471 --> 00:42:35,222
Really?
813
00:42:35,264 --> 00:42:38,225
He kept trying to correct me on my athosian history.
814
00:42:38,267 --> 00:42:41,019
It grew tiresome very quickly.
815
00:42:41,395 --> 00:42:43,021
Well, he wasn't that bad.
816
00:42:43,063 --> 00:42:45,524
Yeah, let's be honest, Rod was annoying.
817
00:42:45,691 --> 00:42:47,693
Well, I'll be honest with you.
818
00:42:47,734 --> 00:42:49,903
That's kind of nice to hear.
819
00:42:50,612 --> 00:42:51,613
Now...
820
00:42:53,323 --> 00:42:55,117
what else has been happening?
821
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,120
Well, Teyla's got the hots for one of the new marines.
822
00:42:58,620 --> 00:43:01,540
- That is not true.
- You know it is.
