{37}{97}{Y:i}The princess is going to play...
{98}{127}{Y:i}Where's the princess?
{144}{200}- Where's the princess in the tower?|- Right there.
{204}{229}Which one?
{269}{300}Put this one...
{301}{354}{Y:i}This is how they need to get around, right?
{387}{441}{Y:i}Go inside the train...
{1371}{1397}Hello?
{1512}{1541}Madison?
{1605}{1632}Honey?
{1861}{1884}{Y:i}Hi.
{1930}{1954}Hey.
{1955}{1976}{Y:i}So...
{2009}{2041}how was your day?
{2158}{2190}{Y:i}Send it to Graeme Peel.
{2191}{2276}Graeme Peel has better things to do|than look over my nonsensical scribbles.
{2278}{2330}Well, they didn't look nonsensical to me.
{2350}{2383}Okay, fine, they did...
{2390}{2436}but I'm an english major. What the hell do I know?
{2437}{2466}Send it.
{2471}{2511}What have you got to lose?
{2551}{2574}Good night.
{2595}{2617}Good night.
{3202}{3233}I'll get it.
{3460}{3490}Jean Miller?
{3507}{3526}Yes.
{3529}{3611}Hi. I'm Lieutenant Colonel Samantha Carter|of the United States Air Force.
{3632}{3661}Okay.
{3666}{3788}Did you send a math proof to professor Graeme Peel|of the California Institute of Technology?
{3813}{3857}Was I not supposed to?
{3915}{3953}{Y:i}Sorry to interrupt, kids. But...
{3954}{4006}you need to pack your toothbrush,|head back to Earth.
{4007}{4037}I do? Why?
{4038}{4070}Carter needs help.
{4081}{4106}With what?
{4107}{4133}Your sister.

{5977}{6009}Welcome back to Earth.
{6010}{6058}Yes, yes. What has my sister done?
{6059}{6096}Good to see you, too, McKay.
{6099}{6165}Greetings, salutations, pleasantries...|What's she done?
{6564}{6592}I thought that...
{6685}{6724}Well, it's certainly some...
{6728}{6784}very interesting stuff, but...
{6788}{6857}it can't be her work.|I mean, she's been out of the game for years.
{6858}{6887}"The game"?
{6888}{6967}Yeah, she hasn't published a single|theoretical physics paper in...
{6968}{7036}- like, four years.|- Oh, that "game".
{7043}{7087}She was on a fast track to some...
{7088}{7160}pretty exciting grants,|doing some interesting work. I mean...
{7161}{7200}she was no me, of course, but...
{7201}{7244}she was at least a "you".
{7269}{7298}Anyway...
{7301}{7356}She got herself knocked up by some...
{7358}{7390}English major,
{7393}{7445}and her priorities shifted overnight.
{7446}{7490}I tried to talk some sense into her, but...
{7491}{7539}she's a tad on the stubborn side.
{7540}{7583}When was the last time you spoke to her?
{7586}{7609}Four years, maybe.
{7610}{7684}- Four years?|- Not that I didn't check to see if she's published.
{7736}{7788}You realize what this proof means, right?
{7789}{7835}Yes, well, if the math checks out.
{7837}{7870}Oh, I've been over it. It checks out.
{7871}{7930}Ah, well, no offense, blue eyes, but...
{7931}{7978}I'd like a little more time with it myself.
{7980}{8016}It checks out.
{8034}{8072}And she said it just came to her?
{8073}{8123}She was playing with her kid, and she got a notion.
{8124}{8213}A notion. That is just beautiful.|She's gonna love this.
{8218}{8281}You didn't tell her I've been trying to prove|something like this myself, did you?
{8282}{8348}- Not exactly.|- Oh, good, because she would just...
{8367}{8391}Wait a minute.
{8394}{8419}Why not?
{8425}{8484}See, that's part of the reason I asked you here.
{8485}{8584}She's been cleared by the Pentagon,|but she refuses to sign the confidentiality agreement.
{8586}{8642}She says she wants nothing to do with us.
{8650}{8724}To be honest, she's been a bit of a pain in the ass.
{8733}{8783}Well, forget her, then. I mean, she's made her choice.
{8784}{8858}We'll just have to, you and I,|figure out how to implement it on our own.
{8859}{8886}Let's see...
{8914}{8951}Now, upon first glance,
{8953}{8985}there are certainly some...
{8987}{9075}missing pieces that|aren't exactly spelled out in the proof, but...
{9127}{9146}What?
{9148}{9225}You and I both know this would go|a lot faster if your sister were on board.
{9227}{9267}What do you want me to do?|She's not gonna listen to me.
{9268}{9293}You're her brother.
{9296}{9315}Exactly.
{9476}{9499}Hi.
{9515}{9538}Hi...
{9579}{9610}Long time no see.
{9611}{9651}To say the least.
{9739}{9781}Aren't you going to invite me in?
{9788}{9820}Why are you here?
{9826}{9894}I can't just stop by, say hi to my little sister?
{9896}{9987}Well, we haven't spoken in four years,|and you've never done anything like this, so...
{9990}{10029}- no, you can't.|- Well, I've been...
{10032}{10067}kind of busy with...
{10070}{10158}work. Doing a lot of traveling and such,|and I was called back on business, so...
{10165}{10240}I was in town, and I thought I'd... you know.
{10250}{10281}Wait a second.
{10288}{10305}What?
{10306}{10349}You're not here because of the physics proof, are you?
{10351}{10395}What? No. I mean, sure, that's...
{10396}{10463}- part of the reason I'm here, but..|- You work for the U.S. Government?
{10464}{10506}No, no, I work for an multinational
{10508}{10557}- oversight advisory that...|- You know what? I don't care.
{10558}{10638}I already told that... that Colonel person that|I don't want anything to do with them.
{10639}{10693}- Do you have any idea what you've written?|- A math proof.
{10694}{10713}Some...
{10715}{10807}theoretical physics. I am willing to wager|it has no practical application at all.
{10809}{10841}I'll take that action.
{10844}{10861}What does that mean?
{10862}{10921}- Just sign the damn agreement.|- No!
{10925}{11029}Getting all proprietary about our research and ideas|is everything that's wrong with science today.
{11030}{11100}- Here we go.|- Did you know that one-fifth of our genes,
{11101}{11167}{Y:i}the very building blocks of our being,|have been patented
{11168}{11210}by major pharmaceutical corporations?
{11212}{11232}One-fifth!
{11236}{11275}If there's any benefit at all
{11276}{11338}to what I've written,|it's that it'll spark an idea in someone else.
{11341}{11433}I am not gonna sign away my rights,|least of all to the U.S. Military.
{11435}{11483}But it has sparked an idea in someone, a big one.
{11484}{11505}Like what?
{11506}{11539}Can't tell you, not till you sign the agreement.
{11541}{11586}I'm not signing the agreement, until you tell me.
{11587}{11622}Is everything okay?
{11630}{11663}Look who showed up.
{11722}{11774}It's my brother.
{11776}{11821}Oh. Right.
{11827}{11850}Hey.
{11900}{11925}Hi!
{11999}{12024}Hello, little one.
{12025}{12101}- Did you bring me a present?|- Madison...
{12104}{12144}{Y:i}What? No.
{12161}{12211}- I didn't know that was a rule.|- It is.
{12217}{12260}Well, I guess I broke that rule.
{12271}{12321}I just made some dinner.|Would you care to join us?
{12326}{12377}That would be great. Actually, I'm starving.
{12378}{12477}- You have no idea what time zone I just came from.|- Well, I sure hope you like tofu chicken.
{12488}{12528}I sure hope he's kidding.
{12665}{12725}Not a fan of vegetarian cuisine...?
{12729}{12756}Yes, well...
{12758}{12813}I suppose I was just in the mood for...
{12818}{12849}well, food.
{12861}{12891}I'll give Maddie her bath.
{12892}{12942}{y:i}- You two catch up.|- Okay, hon.
{12943}{13014}- Hey, pop your head in before you leave.|- What? Why?
{13015}{13058}Children like to say goodbye.
{13062}{13128}Oh. The... yeah, sure. Sure.
{13224}{13288}Boy, Madison's sure grown...?
{13296}{13326}Since she was born?
{13327}{13369}Yeah, yeah, she has.
{13381}{13403}Okay, look...
{13408}{13441}I don't wanna|waste any more of your time.
{13442}{13544}You need to come with me right now.|Your proof could lead to something groundbreaking.
{13585}{13615}How long would I be gone?
{13624}{13655}A couple of months, tops.
{13657}{13710}A couple of months? Are you joking? I...
{13719}{13777}Madison has her first ballet recital next tuesday.
{13780}{13840}She's four! How good could she possibly be?
{13841}{13863}That's not the point!
{13867}{13907}Hey, she's not gonna remember you not being there.
{13908}{13944}I'll remember me not being there.
{13945}{14018}- This is bigger than your responsibilities...|{y:i}- Okay...
{14019}{14065}We've had this conversation before.
{14066}{14160}You belittle my choices, I get furious at you,|and we don't talk for four years.
{14162}{14208}I'm not all that anxious to do that again.
{14211}{14274}This is not what dad would have wanted.
{14278}{14333}No, he would have wanted us|working together, side by side,
{14334}{14386}toppling problems and sharing credit.
{14388}{14449}Oh, you share credit now, do you?
{14451}{14492}This is important, Jeanie.
{14495}{14536}I mean, it's much more important|than you can ever imagine.
{14538}{14581}For you, I am sure it is.
{14582}{14668}But this, me being here, this is important for me.
{14674}{14725}Why can't you accept that?
{14742}{14775}You know, you leave me no choice.
{14776}{14797}{Y:i}What?
{14799}{14840}- Just give me your hand.|- Why?
{14841}{14888}Please just give me your hand.
{14899}{14927}Will you just...
{15122}{15191}Okay, what the hell just happened?
{15193}{15248}It's okay, you're perfectly safe.
{15264}{15303}I don't feel perfectly safe.
{15304}{15380}You've just been teleported to an interstellar|vessel in orbit around the planet.
{15380}{15400}Please.
{15401}{15480}Teleportation is about as likely as time travel.
{15519}{15545}Yes, well...
{15806}{15847}Oh... my.
{15858}{15884}Oh, yes.
{15925}{15949}Is that...
{15989}{16056}- Why aren't we weightless?|- Artificial gravity...
{16057}{16162}and yes, that is North America,|and you are in geosyncronous orbit.
{16162}{16213}{Y:i}We work for something called the Stargate Program.
{16214}{16234}Stargate?
{16235}{16353}{Y:i}It's a device that creates stable, artificial wormholes|that allows us to travel between other planets,
{16354}{16400}even other galaxies.
{16409}{16491}What have you gotten yourself|involved in here, Meredith?
{16530}{16556}Meredith?
{16557}{16583}It's a long story.
{16586}{16615}It's his name.
{16628}{16682}Your name is Meredith McKay?
{16683}{16748}Meredith Rodney McKay, yes,|but I prefer to go by "Rodney".
{16749}{16843}Look, can we just stick to the point here?|Look out the window, much more interesting than my name.
{16844}{16883}Your name is Meredith?
{16884}{16982}So this, this is, like, a... like a space ship?
{17002}{17081}This is a U.S. Air force vessel called the Daedalus.
{17082}{17176}Your equation has real-world applications|I'm certain you've never even considered.
{17177}{17215}You see, there are some...
{17220}{17368}very bad creatures out there that want|nothing more but to destroy this planet|and everything that you hold dear.
{17377}{17471}Did you say "creatures"?|Like... like alien creatures?
{17473}{17492}Yes.
{17494}{17593}Look, the work we could do is important, Jeanie.|It's not just to you or me...
{17594}{17682}to every living being down there,|and that includes Madison and...
{17687}{17735}- Kaleb.|- Kaleb, yes.
{17742}{17787}We can't do this without you.
{17793}{17812}Let's not go overboard.
{17816}{17861}- I mean, she'd be an asset, but...|- McKay.
{17975}{18028}So what do you say, Mrs. Miller?
{18054}{18084}- Jeanie.|- Look,
{18085}{18160}it's just a lot to take in right now, okay?|Just give me a second, Mer.
{18325}{18375}{Y:i}So somewhere down there...
{18377}{18449}my husband is giving my daughter a bath.
{18944}{18975}You have to go.
{19043}{19069}I know.
{19516}{19547}{Y:i}What did you tell Kaleb?
{19548}{19585}- The truth.|- What?
{19586}{19636}Do you have any idea what "non-disclosure" means?
{19637}{19703}Just because we don't keep secrets from|each other doesn't mean we're incapable of it.
{19704}{19733}What did he say?
{19742}{19812}He's concerned that me telling him|will get him assassinated.
{19826}{19863}That won't happen, right?
{19864}{19897}Probably not.
{19917}{19993}{Y:i}Again, I'm sorry I couldn't come with you,|but there's just too much going on here.
{19994}{20019}It's fine.
{20026}{20119}{Y:i}I thought I could at least help you get Jeanie up to|speed before you guys are out of comm range.
{20129}{20247}{Y:i}About a year ago, your brother came across an|abandoned alien experiment called project "Arcturus".
{20248}{20301}It was an attempt to generate zero point energy.
{20302}{20362}That would be virtually limitless power. What happened?
{20363}{20446}A slight problem. It was the creation of exotic|particles in the containment field.
{20448}{20486}{Y:i}He destroyed a solar system.
{20487}{20514}Meredith!
{20516}{20552}It was uninhabited.
{20553}{20588}{Y:i}Your brother, along with many others,
{20589}{20687}has been trying to figure out a way to|draw zero point energy from a parallel space time.
{20689}{20738}Which would get us around|the whole problem of the creation of
{20739}{20796}dangerous exotic particles|in our own space time.
{20797}{20865}- And my theory is about bridging universes.|{y:i}- Exactly.
{20866}{20931}{Y:i}We're hoping to use your proof as the theoretical basis
{20932}{21005}for building a bridge from|a parallel space time to ours.
{21006}{21065}The energy you'd need would be|enormous to the point of absurd.
{21066}{21093}Absurd we can do.
{21094}{21183}We have something called a Zero Point Module which|essentially does we're attempting on a smaller scale
{21184}{21230}extract energy from subspace time.
{21231}{21277}So subspace is real?
{21278}{21312}You're flying in it.
{21363}{21442}Aren't you worried about the exotic particles|crossing back over my bridge?
{21443}{21489}Well, that's the beauty of your theory.
{21490}{21601}It should not only allow us to build a bridge. It should|also allow us to manage the flow rate of energy.
{21602}{21639}Like a faucet.
{21643}{21718}- Well, something like that.|- It's exactly like that.
{21719}{21762}What about the parallel universe?|Aren't you just...
{21763}{21825}shifting the exotic particle problem to their side?
{21826}{21850}Potentially.
{21851}{21981}But when you consider that the number|of possible parallel universes that|we could access borders on the infinite,
{21982}{22102}the odds of us choosing, at random,|one that's inhabited are astronomically slim.
{22150}{22221}{Y:i}I know, it's an awful lot to take in at once.
{22226}{22284}I solved your problem in my spare time...
{22285}{22319}with finger paints.
{22320}{22342}Here we go.
{22343}{22402}I just can't imagine|how you're surviving the humiliation.
{22403}{22468}Look, if it wasn't for my work,|your little theory would be useless...
{22469}{22514}Siblings, please...
{22515}{22542}- Sorry.|- Sorry.
{22600}{22622}What?
{22656}{22699}Well, it's just that you both said...
{22700}{22782}"sorry"|in that cute little canadian way, and I...
{22814}{22844}sorry.
{22850}{22894}Touch base when you get back to Atlantis.
{22895}{22923}Good luck.
{22970}{23050}These alien creatures must be quite the threat|for you to even try what you're doing.
{23051}{23115}I don't want to scare you,|but you need to know the stakes.
{23116}{23148}We're at war.
{23159}{23186}Did you start it?
{23187}{23213}What? No!
{23214}{23244}Come on...
{23378}{23488}You've got a nota bene by the cosmological constant.|Why is that? Jeanie?
{23531}{23554}Hey.
{23598}{23655}Yeah. While you're here, remember? Thank you.
{23660}{23716}So there's your problem right there.
{23717}{23748}What are you talking about? It's here,
{23749}{23809}- and you made a mistake.|- No, I didn't. Okay. So...
{23810}{23865}we need a yea or nay on the equations.
{23890}{23918}Yea.
{24025}{24088}{Y:i}Atlantis already has a containment chamber we can use.
{24089}{24148}{Y:i}I'll forward the necessary modifications to Zelenka.
{24149}{24176}{Y:i}If he doesn't mess it up,
{24177}{24250}{Y:i}he can make the changes|we need before we even get there.
{24652}{24679}Ready?
{24722}{24770}Now, we've been through|these calculations a number of times,
{24771}{24858}and I think we've settled on a containment|field setup that should work for us.
{24859}{24900}I just want to show you these...
{25001}{25054}Yes, we have it, people! Good work.
{25055}{25090}Good work, everybody.
{25120}{25152}Just in time.
{25157}{25197}Had he talked about his sister with you?
{25198}{25256}Once or twice in passing. Usually like,
{25257}{25327}"Come on, even my sister can do that!"|You know, that type of thing.
{25328}{25352}How's it coming, Radek?
{25353}{25409}The simulations are all in the green.|We're ready to try power-up.
{25410}{25481}- Just in time.|- That's actually what I just said.
{25567}{25606}Holy cow...
{25609}{25651}that can't be good for you.
{25652}{25723}Nothing to worry about.|I've done it dozens of times.
{25742}{25769}John Sheppard.
{25770}{25824}Yeah. She's married, and she's my sister.
{25825}{25863}I'm just saying hi.
{25864}{25940}Yeah. No, I know exactly what you're doing.|I've seen that look before, Kirk.
{25956}{25980}Hello, Mrs. Miller.
{25981}{26083}- I'm Dr. Elizabeth Weir. Welcome to Atlantis.|- Thank you. Mer's told me so much about you.
{26084}{26117}All good, I...
{26136}{26210}- did you just call him "Mer"?|- It's a pet name. Where are we?
{26211}{26265}Simulations are all in the green.|We're ready to try a power-up.
{26266}{26339}Really? So soon? That's amazing.|Excellent work, Radek.
{26341}{26363}Thank you.
{26364}{26444}Yes, we try not to encourage him.|He's got a bit of an ego.
{26649}{26716}{Y:i}In-chamber conditions are green.
{26738}{26797}Containment field is in the green.
{26810}{26901}- Monitors are green.|{y:i}- Everything's green.
{26908}{26941}He likes to do the checklist.
{26944}{27030}ZedPM levels are well into the green.
{27034}{27122}And back-up terminals are green.
{27130}{27169}We're ready to initiate power-up.
{27190}{27212}Good luck.
{27213}{27263}All right.|Here we go.
{27288}{27340}Want you to turn it on together?
{27352}{27386}Why would we do that?
{27390}{27432}Because it's both of our work.
{27436}{27515}- There's only room on the button for one finger, so...|- Well, then, can I do it?
{27516}{27602}- Yeah, but I'm right here, so...|- He likes to push the button.
{27620}{27684}- Fine. Go.|- Powering up to 5%.
{27867}{27910}The containment field is holding.
{27915}{27953}Power generation is steady.
{27954}{28036}- What about exotic particles?|{y:i}- Jeanie, please, I'm on it.
{28046}{28125}We are holding at 5%.
{28130}{28153}Good.
{28154}{28210}- Now what?|- The safe thing to do is hold at
{28211}{28279}- 5% for the next while.|- She wasn't talking to you.
{28290}{28349}Actually, it was an open question to the floor.
{28350}{28379}{Y:i}"Shared credit"...?
{28384}{28482}- "We'll do this together"? "Dad'll be so proud."|- This is not the time or the place.
{28483}{28509}Fine.
{28523}{28591}- I'm going to my quarters.|- Yes. Well, good night. Thank you.
{28638}{28663}So?
{28664}{28750}Well, obviously we hold at 5% for the next while and
{28751}{28790}see if any problems turn up.
{28804}{28833}Right...
{28836}{28889}I should probably try to get some rest myself.
{28901}{28933}Could you...?
{29458}{29485}What the...
{29492}{29520}shut it down.
{29559}{29592}...
{29601}{29638}Foreign object?
{29651}{29698}Go get Dr. Zelenka.
{30085}{30115}It worked.
{30152}{30187}{Y:i}What are you doing?
{30188}{30213}Radek?
{30215}{30238}Yes...
{30250}{30317}I need to speak to whoever's in charge of this project.
{30346}{30366}But...
{30369}{30398}that's you.
{30426}{30453}Well, then...
{30459}{30518}I guess I need to speak to me.
{30895}{30919}{Y:i}What is this?
{30925}{30974}Hey, Meredith.
{30978}{31011}Oh, wonderful.
{31022}{31108}John here was kind enough to show me around,|offer me a warm meal, and
{31109}{31165}{y:i}- introduce me to some of your friends.|- What have you told them?
{31166}{31209}We weren't talking about you.
{31213}{31236}Oh, you weren't?
{31237}{31296}No. We were discussing many things.
{31297}{31337}{Y:i}Now, when the issue of...
{31338}{31385}bedwetting happened to come up,
{31386}{31449}{Y:i}she may have mentioned something about your childhood.
{31450}{31476}That is not true.
{31477}{31545}- Relax. We all have embarrassing childhood stories.|- Of course we do.
{31546}{31628}There was one time the school bullies made me eat lunch|with my underwear on my head.
{31637}{31681}Oh, wait, that was you.
{31725}{31768}Oh, hardy har-har.
{31769}{31825}And this is revenge for what, exactly?
{31826}{31870}You don't even know, do you?
{31873}{31955}{Y:i}Colonel Sheppard and Dr. McKay|to the isolation room immediately.
{31956}{31992}Isolation room?
{32003}{32035}Come on.
{32323}{32353}What in the world...
{32354}{32377}That's you.
{32391}{32475}No, that is a live closed-circuit feed
{32476}{32518}of a man we have
{32519}{32565}in the isolation room.
{32760}{32784}What?
{32792}{32882}He appeared in the containment chamber|in some sort of force field.
{32892}{32940}What do you mean, he appeared?
{32947}{32984}Out of thin air.
{32995}{33066}I have Zelenka working on it.|Obviously we shut down the project.
{33067}{33100}How did he get in there?
{33113}{33191}He claims to be from a parallel universe.
{33192}{33238}You said the odds against this were astronomical...
{33239}{33282}- You saw the math!|- We got it wrong...
{33283}{33344}Yes, well, he's here now, so the question is,|what does he want?
{33345}{33380}To talk to you.
{33430}{33456}You want shared credit?
{33457}{33493}- You're coming in with me.|- Wait...
{33808}{33861}{Y:i}Now, I figured you'd be here, but...
{33862}{33890}{Y:i}but Jeanie...
{33891}{33940}{Y:i}I always hoped we'd work together in Atlantis.
{33968}{33996}This is a first.
{34007}{34036}- For me too.|- For me too.
{34041}{34070}Have a seat.
{34083}{34160}- Now, I presume you go by...|- Rodney.
{34196}{34219}Rod.
{34220}{34266}I could never get anyone to call me that.
{34285}{34311}Okay,
{34312}{34392}I'm gonna make some assumptions|based on what I've seen here and...
{34393}{34457}from readings we've taken in my own space time.
{34458}{34506}Please stop me if I'm wrong. One,
{34507}{34629}I presume you're running some sort of experiment|that's designed to bridge between parallel universes?
{34630}{34716}And two, it has something to do with power generation.
{34722}{34752}Warm? Cold?
{34760}{34781}Hot.
{34783}{34880}Well, I'm sure the experiment has been|a success on this side, but it's having some
{34881}{34936}rather serious repercussions in my universe.
{34937}{34970}{Y:i}I told you.
{34971}{34991}Not now.
{34992}{35037}Dangerous exotic particles that don't belong
{35038}{35118}{Y:i}in either of our universes|are being created on your side of the bridge.
{35139}{35207}So, you knew this could happen?
{35218}{35286}There was a slight risk, yes.
{35292}{35316}This is weird.
{35317}{35351}{Y:i}Well, you're quite correct, Jeanie,
{35352}{35460}{Y:i}and because these particles don't behave according to|any of the laws of physics in our space time, they're
{35461}{35533}creating a tear in the fabric of our universe.
{35539}{35612}- First a solar system, now a universe.|- Yes.
{35613}{35659}How exactly did you get here?
{35684}{35788}Well, we detected the anomaly about|20 hours ago in space above the planet.
{35789}{35895}We maneuvered one of our Jumpers in close|and tried to broadcast a signal to
{35896}{35926}whoever was on the other side.
{35927}{36004}Yes, but of course, we would be unable to detect|that signal from within the containment chamber.
{36005}{36105}So Sheppard and I came up with a plan|to beam a person into the anomaly.
{36106}{36198}There he would be protected by|an Ancient personal force field that we discovered.
{36204}{36236}I depleted ours.
{36244}{36299}Still, it was an incredible risk.
{36315}{36362}Well, it was Sheppard's idea.
{36363}{36478}{Y:i}We decided it might allow one of us to cross the bridge|you'd created and bring the problem to your attention.
{36479}{36521}There was very little time, and, well,
{36522}{36556}there seemed to be no other way.
{36561}{36590}We drew straws...
{36599}{36625}You lost.
{36633}{36659}I won.
{36662}{36728}What, the prospect of saving an entire universe?
{36729}{36759}No-brainer.
{36775}{36809}Oh, sure.
{36830}{36900}I can't begin to say how sorry we are.
{36901}{36948}Yes, well, you could
{36949}{37003}- start by shutting down the experiment?|{y:i}- Already done.
{37004}{37085}And after hearing what you've told me,|I see no reason why we'd start it back up again.
{37086}{37113}Great.
{37114}{37149}Then my work here is done.
{37160}{37195}Mission accomplished.
{37368}{37403}Well, yes, but...
{37404}{37449}how did you plan on getting,
{37450}{37470}you know,
{37471}{37490}back?
{37491}{37526}I mean, to your own universe?
{37549}{37623}The matter bridge you created is unidirectional.
{37638}{37683}- But that means...|{y:i}- Yes.
{37684}{37719}Yes, it does.
{37853}{37882}So, Jeanie
{37883}{37925}do you have three kids in this universe?
{37926}{37957}No. Just the one.
{37968}{38059}Well, I'm sure you're as great a mother|in this space time as you are in mine.
{38069}{38104}This will blow your mind.
{38105}{38175}I have photographs of your alternate life.
{38176}{38212}Want to see pictures of the kids you haven't had yet?
{38213}{38325}- Absolutely. Oh, look at Maddie. Who's that?|- That's Bradley and Robbie.
{38336}{38373}All right, what's the game plan here?
{38374}{38437}We put him up in the guest quarters until|we can find something more permanent.
{38438}{38491}Something more permanent?|Well, we're not keeping him.
{38492}{38516}He can't go back.
{38517}{38558}That just doesn't mean he has to stay here.
{38559}{38598}He said he'd rather be on Atlantis than Earth.
{38599}{38638}Oh, I see. So he gets his way and I don't?
{38639}{38694}How can you not want to be with him? He's you!
{38695}{38750}He's not me. I'm me, the real me.
{38751}{38784}I suppose it's all relative.
{38785}{38861}To Rod, his reality is every bit as valid as ours.|To him...
{38862}{38899}we're the impostors.
{38900}{38942}What does Elizabeth have to say about all of this?
{38943}{38978}Two McKays are better than one.
{38979}{39066}There aren't two McKays!|There's one McKay and him.
{39087}{39114}Whatever you say...
{39124}{39163}Meredith.
{39522}{39561}Nice shot.
{39563}{39614}Easily 275.
{39623}{39642}You know,
{39643}{39722}I've been meaning to put up buoy markers, but..
{39723}{39756}who has the time...?
{39757}{39790}This is great.
{39791}{39821}We don't have one of these where I'm from.
{39822}{39928}Besides, you'd need to take a cattle prod to|the Sheppard I know to get him up this early.
{39943}{39990}Late nights partying...?
{40019}{40063}If you could call it that.
{40064}{40141}He's very active with the mensa club we have there.
{40143}{40198}{Y:i}They have a lot of... "functions."
{40199}{40225}Well...
{40239}{40288}you can't blame a man for his intelligence.
{40289}{40328}No, but
{40330}{40385}I can blame him for reminding all the time.
{40390}{40434}- He doesn't.|{y:i}- Trust me.
{40437}{40497}My Sheppard makes your Rodney seem
{40499}{40543}modest in comparison.
{40578}{40637}Well, I've got to admit,
{40638}{40679}between you and me,
{40688}{40747}you're a lot different than our Rodney too.
{40750}{40777}How so?
{40796}{40851}It's the little things.
{40852}{40953}You like golf,|you say "please" and "thank you", you're...
{40963}{41020}what's the opposite of condescending?
{41226}{41285}Now, I could help you with that hook.
{41531}{41568}What the hell is this?
{41569}{41605}Hey, sleepyhead.
{41606}{41628}Yeah. Hi.
{41629}{41708}I had a breakfast date with Jeanie.|I guess it kind of ballooned into a group affair.
{41709}{41747}Look, sit down. We're tracing back our lives,
{41748}{41795}trying to find the little differences|between our pasts.
{41796}{41861}Rod is an honorary member|of the athosian council.
{41862}{41944}- And is godfather to his niece and nephews.|- Yes, well, how wonderful for him.
{41945}{42049}Well, it's easier for me. Our Earth has a ZedPM too,|so it makes the back and forth a lot simpler.
{42050}{42111}{Y:i}Drs. McKay, please report to the containment chamber.
{42112}{42143}{Y:i}Drs. McKay.
{42152}{42186}- Excuse me.|- Excuse me.
{42193}{42289}- Hey, Rod, are we still on to spar later?|- Absolutely.
{42427}{42465}What do you mean you started it up again?
{42466}{42552}Shutting the experiment down only|made things worse for us, not better.
{42553}{42593}{Y:i}The matter bridge is still active,
{42594}{42637}{Y:i}but we are not drawing any power,
{42638}{42706}creating pressure, like a dam.
{42707}{42798}If we didn't turn it on again,|it could have resulted in a catastrophic overload.
{42804}{42841}We should have thought of that.
{42862}{42883}{Y:i}Don't look at me.
{42884}{42937}So you're willing to take all the credit,|but none of the blame?
{42938}{42975}I never wanted all the credit.
{42977}{43030}- No one is blaming you.|- Oh, really?
{43033}{43091}{Y:i}Look, this is just a temporary solution.
{43092}{43183}The Zelenka in my space time estimates|that there is at least a week and a half
{43184}{43239}before the tear expands as far as the city...
{43245}{43286}my city.
{43287}{43330}{Y:i}What will happen when it does?
{43336}{43370}{Y:i}Imagine what would happen if you just
{43371}{43414}{Y:i}threw the laws of physics out the window.
{43415}{43458}Entropy. Chaos.
{43459}{43545}Worst-case scenario,|the entropy expands as far as the subspace layers
{43546}{43577}underneath our space time...
{43578}{43610}It could travel almost instantaneously.
{43611}{43674}Your entire universe could flash out of existence.
{43675}{43738}We need to mend|that tear before it becomes irreparable.
{43739}{43803}Now, I have some thoughts.|Is there a place we can go to work?
{43804}{43852}Yes, of course. Follow me.
{43862}{43922}Oh, Jeanie, we could use your help.
{43924}{43953}Thank you.
{44014}{44059}{Y:i}Do you mind running up these power requirements?
{44060}{44096}Done.
{44187}{44229}What were you doing having breakfast with him?
{44230}{44290}I don't often meet people from another universe.
{44291}{44338}I found myself curiously interested.
{44339}{44385}{Y:i}I don't want you hanging around with him anymore.
{44386}{44407}What?
{44414}{44455}Look, I am your real brother.
{44456}{44475}In what sense?
{44476}{44512}Oh, what is that supposed to mean?
{44513}{44571}You haven't been a brother to me since I quit school.
{44572}{44611}You were making an incredible mistake.
{44612}{44693}- I was just trying to...|- You were trying to control my life, Mer.
{44694}{44737}I disagreed with you. I still do.
{44738}{44822}- And what, because of that, you stop being my brother?|- I never stopped being your brother.
{44823}{44884}We haven't talked in four years.
{44892}{44942}- Don't put that all on me.|- It is all on you.
{44943}{44994}I had no way of getting in touch with you.
{44995}{45069}I was doing top-secret research in another galaxy!
{45085}{45117}You could have sent me a message.
{45118}{45166}You know, call me on my birthday,
{45167}{45193}at Christmas.
{45194}{45246}Once a year that's all I would have needed.
{45247}{45351}Just a|"Hi. How are you? Are you happy? Are you okay?"
{45356}{45410}That would have been enough,|but you didn't even do that.
{45411}{45472}No, no. I was wrong and you were right, so...
{45473}{45534}what, I was not worth talking to?
{45537}{45571}It wasn't like that at all.
{45579}{45688}You don't like me talking to Rod because it makes|you realize how bad a brother you've really been.
{45703}{45776}Hey, have you guys got something over there?
{45799}{45878}No. We don't.
{45983}{46027}{y:i}- He's slowing me down.|- Really?
{46028}{46115}- I thought two of you would have sped things up.|- Yeah, he's not me.
{46118}{46155}I know he's not the same person. Trust me.
{46156}{46210}I'm just saying, he's a genius too, isn't he?
{46213}{46246}Unless he's lying.
{46247}{46265}About what?
{46266}{46344}What if the people on his Atlantis|were sick of him messing up all the time...?
{46345}{46431}So when it came time to send some stooge|on a one-way ticket to another universe,
{46432}{46486}there was only one guy they could do without.
{46487}{46529}Say what you want I know what this is about.
{46530}{46552}Oh, really,
{46553}{46626}Mr. Mensa in a parallel universe,|what is this all about?
{46631}{46694}- You think Jeanie likes him more than you.|- What?
{46695}{46720}That's crazy.
{46724}{46764}That's... that's...
{46784}{46820}that's possibly true.
{46887}{46926}Jeanie and I drifted apart.
{46927}{46974}I mean, that happens. It wasn't done maliciously.
{46975}{47045}Do I have regrets? Yes, of course I do.|But who doesn't? I mean...
{47048}{47128}I'm not very good at saying|I'm sorry or that I'm wrong,
{47134}{47198}possibly because it happens so rarely.
{47227}{47261}So I didn't call or write,
{47262}{47346}and when I realized|that four years has gone by, it was just a...
{47379}{47410}you're right.
{47420}{47457}Of course, you're right.
{47470}{47521}She has every reason to hate me.
{47526}{47585}- I didn't say she hates you.|- Well, she should.
{47613}{47657}- If you insist.|- I do.
{47658}{47687}Fair enough.
{47704}{47754}{Y:i}Dr. McKay to the containment chamber.
{47755}{47784}{Y:i}Dr. McKay.
{47810}{47855}Good talk.|Thanks.
{48007}{48062}- Great. He's here.|- What's going on?
{48063}{48107}I set up a way to pick up transmissions
{48108}{48183}inside the containment chamber|should Rod's universe try to contact us.
{48184}{48268}We, of course, still have no way|of communicating with them, but...
{48269}{48295}They sent us a message?
{48296}{48361}Yeah. Apparently their exotic particle|problem is spinning out of control
{48363}{48408}much faster than they had anticipated.
{48409}{48432}Oh, boy
{48433}{48467}But they have a solution.
{48470}{48528}- They do? That's great.|- Well, not really.
{48534}{48660}Their solution will not only destroy Atlantis,|but tear a hole in the fabric of this universe.
{48688}{48723}Oh, boy.
{48892}{48985}Now, I'm not saying that|their attempt would be successful, but if it was,
{48986}{49112}it would flood the exotic particles that have been|created on their side into this space time all at once.
{49113}{49161}- And that would...|- Be bad.
{49162}{49220}- Right, I got that but...|- How bad?
{49221}{49310}Well, to be honest,|the science gets extremely complicated, but
{49311}{49332}simply put,
{49333}{49431}the tear will eventually swallow up|the entire galaxy, possibly the universe.
{49432}{49460}So...
{49469}{49498}very bad.
{49499}{49545}Well, I think we can all agree|that would be bad, yes.
{49546}{49605}Their plan will take six hours to implement.
{49606}{49663}- I suggest we do something before that.|- Well, we have an idea.
{49664}{49729}Actually, Jeanie has an idea.
{49750}{49855}We think we can collapse the bridge with|a massive burst of energy from this side.
{49858}{49945}And stop the creation of exotic particles|on the other side by doing so.
{49964}{50044}- How massive a burst are we talking?|{y:i}- Everything we've got.
{50045}{50108}I mean, enough to severely deplete our ZedPM.
{50121}{50197}So instead of creating a new powerful energy source,
{50198}{50259}we'll be sacrificing the one we already have.
{50260}{50279}Yes.
{50280}{50380}We'd still be able to dial Earth, but much|less frequently, of course. And let's just say
{50381}{50450}I wouldn't want to be around here|if the Wraith show up.
{50539}{50596}I don't see that we have a choice.
{50650}{50675}All right.
{50682}{50705}Do it.
{50746}{50834}- Dr. Weir gave the okay for this?|- You'd rather the universe was destroyed?
{50849}{50872}Not really.
{50873}{50921}Rodney, can I talk to you for a second?
{51025}{51087}Look, the Daedalus is still in orbit. I thought...
{51088}{51120}I know what you're gonna say.
{51128}{51223}If I can beam into the energy stream|protected by my personal force field...
{51224}{51315}You'd be transported back to your own universe.|I didn't bring it up before because
{51316}{51347}if it doesn't work...
{51352}{51394}I'm willing to take that risk.
{51400}{51537}I've already requested the Daedalus|to execute the transport to the coordinates|inside the chamber on your mark.
{51542}{51596}That is, if you're willing to do this.
{51606}{51649}Everyone loves you here.
{51673}{51710}Yeah, but it's not home.
{51711}{51739}Look, what...
{51740}{51775}my Sheppard is a know-it-all,
{51776}{51828}my Teyla is hard to talk to, and...
{51829}{51860}my Ronon is...
{51871}{51928}well, actually those two are pretty similar.
{51957}{52003}I guess what I'm trying to say is that
{52004}{52041}for all their faults...
{52054}{52091}they're my team.
{52092}{52134}My place is with them.
{52140}{52164}Besides...
{52169}{52223}they're not looking for another McKay around here.|They already have one.
{52224}{52270}It's just a lesser model...?
{52285}{52314}I envy you.
{52324}{52398}You say exactly what's on your mind|no matter how it makes you look.
{52399}{52495}I can only imagine the freedom|you must have not caring if people like you or not.
{52501}{52537}People don't like me?
{52538}{52568}Trust me.
{52569}{52603}You've got it great here.
{52604}{52669}Now, I've made some calculations.
{52670}{52715}When the readings reach the levels I've indicated,
{52716}{52756}you'll know whether or not I've made it home.
{52803}{52877}I guess you just need|to click your heels together...?
{52898}{52935}Good luck, Rodney.
{52964}{52994}You too.
{53043}{53071}Radek...
{53082}{53104}"mej se".
{53180}{53211}Jeanie...
{53459}{53530}- You're letting him do this?|- I tried to talk him out of it, but
{53531}{53565}you know Rod.
{53569}{53628}Hermiod, ready when you are.
{53644}{53689}I guess there's nothing left to say but...
{53690}{53735}"There's no place like home".
{53834}{53874}All right, all in the green.
{53875}{53918}Ready for forced power output.
{53930}{53970}Right. And...
{54059}{54096}you wanna press the button?
{54114}{54174}Yeah. Yeah, sure.
{54321}{54355}Power is at full.
{54375}{54404}It's working!
{54450}{54508}Hermiod, this is McKay. Commence transport.
{54524}{54563}Transport is complete.
{54564}{54633}- The bridge is already beginning to destabilize.|- It's not yet enough.
{54634}{54699}- ZedPM is at 50%.|- It's still not enough, Rodney!
{54700}{54754}- We have to max it out.|- 30%!
{54800}{54832}The bridge is collapsing.
{54833}{54871}- We've done it!|- Okay, we can shut it down now.
{54872}{54901}- Not yet!|- What?
{54902}{54968}According to these readings,|if we shut it down now, he won't make it!
{54969}{55014}Give it a few more seconds.
{55025}{55062}ZPM is at 5%!
{55063}{55092}Almost there...
{55103}{55137}cut power now!
{55165}{55243}How much power did you drain from the ZPM?
{55273}{55319}...
{55366}{55392}All of it.
{55415}{55466}I drained all of it.
{55494}{55532}You did the right thing.
{55567}{55621}Well, I suppose I would've done the same thing for...
{55632}{55658}me.
{55749}{55807}I am so fired.
{55847}{55873}{Y:i}Jeanie...
{55874}{55920}{Y:i}this is your brother, Rodney.
{55925}{55969}{Y:i}I want to say...
{56007}{56070}family is important,
{56081}{56158}I've come to realize that because|the people here have become a sort of
{56174}{56226}surrogate family to me.
{56232}{56280}I know what you're thinking, I've never really been the
{56281}{56339}poster child for that kind of sentiment, but
{56340}{56368}when...
{56369}{56444}when one's contemplating one's own demise,|one tends to see things...
{56456}{56488}more clearly.
{56532}{56594}I really do wish you the best, you know
{56600}{56655}and I'm sorry we weren't closer.
{56656}{56691}Perhaps...
{56748}{56831}if, by chance, I make it out of this,|perhaps one day we can be,
{56837}{56874}and I would like that.
{56903}{56955}Now, if there's time, I'd like to...
{56991}{57026}{Y:i}When did he record this?
{57027}{57130}Couple years back when we thought|the bad guys were gonna get us.
{57176}{57251}- Now I've seen three sides of my brother.|- Yeah.
{57278}{57324}What are you two up to?
{57360}{57396}Nothing. Just...
{57397}{57435}{Y:i}telling stories about you.
{57436}{57460}You know,
{57461}{57502}trying to help her fall sleep.
{57533}{57578}I'll leave you guys alone.
{57783}{57805}Hey.
{57811}{57832}Hey.
{57853}{57925}Hey, you should be packing.|Daedalus leaves in the morning.
{57969}{58000}I'm done.
{58011}{58049}How'd it go with Weir?
{58075}{58162}Well, she wasn't too happy|about the whole killing-the-ZedPM but...
{58163}{58259}you know, in the grand scheme of things,|we did prevent the destruction of the universe, so...
{58260}{58306}you know, not fired.
{58307}{58359}- That's good.|- Yeah.
{58411}{58442}{Y:i}Oh, right...
{58458}{58490}I got this for Madison.
{58548}{58574}Yeah.
{58579}{58621}I swiped it from Weir's desk.
{58632}{58763}- It's not like there's a toys "R" US nearby, so...|- Well, it's the thought that counts, I guess.
{58838}{58902}Well, I'd say "see you around", but...
{58903}{58930}Yes...
{58944}{58977}about that...
{59064}{59109}which is to say...
{59130}{59155}look,
{59168}{59221}what I wanted to...
{59293}{59332}Thank you for trying.
{59636}{59666}How are you?
{59677}{59703}Are you happy?
{59714}{59796}- Are you okay?|- Yeah, Mer. I am.
{59814}{59844}I really am.
{60000}{60074}Intergalactic Gate network|should be completed soon, so...
{60097}{60177}- maybe it won't be four years next time?|- Does this mean I'll see you at Christmas?
{60178}{60237}If you can convince Kaleb
{60256}{60299}not to make tofurkey.
{60310}{60347}No promises.
{60797}{60856}Am I just not getting the team e-mails anymore?
{60857}{60935}- Take it easy. We're just talking about Rod.|- Oh, yeah. Of course you are.
{60936}{60976}Do you think he made it back to his universe?
{60977}{61044}Hard to say, really, but I doubt he'll be back, though.
{61045}{61103}That's good. We found him a little...
{61109}{61133}creepy.
{61134}{61150}What?
{61151}{61199}I can't stand people who are nice all the time.
{61200}{61245}It makes me feel like they're trying to hide something.
{61246}{61264}Really?
{61265}{61336}He kept trying to correct me on my athosian history.
{61337}{61403}It grew tiresome very quickly.
{61412}{61451}Well, he wasn't that bad.
{61452}{61511}Yeah, let's be honest, Rod was annoying.
{61515}{61563}Well, I'll be honest with you.
{61564}{61616}That's kind of nice to hear.
{61633}{61657}{Y:i}Now...
{61698}{61741}what else has been happening?
{61743}{61813}Well, Teyla's got the hots for one of the new marines.
{61825}{61895}- That is not true.|- You know it is.
