{13}{68}{Y:i}Previously on Stargate Atlantis...
{127}{205}We now know definitely that|the Jumper is somewhere in this area.
{236}{269}Are you friendly,
{286}{310}or are you hungry?
{311}{387}It must be broadcasting at a...|at a frequency you can hear!
{388}{444}{Y:i}Descending through one thousand.
{445}{479}{Y:i}Your sea monster.
{480}{558}It's still swimming around in circles|in the same area, which means...
{560}{584}I have the Jumper.
{589}{625}The animal's circling around it.
{626}{705}{Y:i}All you have to do is open your door|and walk to my Jumper.
{788}{808}{Y:i}Hey, pal.
{810}{843}{Y:i}Sorry you don't get to eat me today.
{844}{880}He's the reason we found you.
{881}{907}Really?
{973}{1024}{Y:i}- Well, how'd the camping go?|- Oh, splendid.
{1025}{1080}I was able to run several|ground-penetrating radar tests...
{1081}{1155}you know, to test the dielectric permittivity|of the region's subsurface.
{1163}{1200}Sweet.
{1225}{1284}What about you?|How was the hunting?
{1286}{1326}If there was any game?
{1327}{1383}it was all scared off by the noises|his stupid machines made.
{1384}{1447}I said I was sorry.|It was necessary for the tests.
{1448}{1491}You're the one who volunteered to go.
{1492}{1550}Well, if I do something like that again, shoot me.
{1561}{1651}He was like this all night, you know...|very agitated. Had me scared.
{1662}{1719}He'll be alright. Get him home,
{1720}{1799}{y:i}- get him a nice warm bath, hot meal...|- Oh, no.
{1804}{1829}What?
{1830}{1865}Where's Atlantis?
{1906}{1940}It should be right in front of us.
{1941}{2000}- Well, why isn't it?|- I... I don't know.
{2001}{2031}- Is it cloaked?|{y:i}- No, no, no...
{2032}{2073}They would have radioed us about it.
{2074}{2131}- So what are you saying? We're lost?|- Wait-wait-wait- wait.
{2136}{2194}Adjust your heading forty degrees south.
{2280}{2329}The navigation system is off.
{2347}{2385}- Why?|{y:i}- I don't know.
{2386}{2466}It could be any of a number of reasons,|you know. Clock drift, the...
{2467}{2527}fluctuations in the magnetosphere|from the sunspots...
{2528}{2560}There it is.
{2562}{2605}{Y:i}Thank God!
{2606}{2662}See? No harm, no foul.
{2706}{2797}You might wanna take Teyla up|on her offer of meditation lessons.
{2798}{2877}- Looks like you could use a little unwinding...|- Just land this thing.
{2957}{3046}{Y:i}... and then slowly exhale,
{3055}{3137}allowing each breath to cleanse you,
{3159}{3263}restoring your body and spirit.
{3315}{3403}Feel your mind clearing...
{3437}{3536}open to all that surrounds you.
{3565}{3646}Embrace the silence.
{3758}{3795}Ronon?
{4445}{4507}I'm sorry. I do not understand.

{6333}{6360}{Y:i}Elizabeth.
{6362}{6393}Did you get my email?
{6399}{6423}Which email?
{6424}{6512}One of the seven today,|or one of the eighteen yesterday?
{6513}{6612}I know, I'm being unusually persistent about this,|but that should only underscore its importance, yes?
{6613}{6733}We cannot keep all three ZeePMs|from the Replicator take-over, Rodney. We get one.
{6736}{6781}Now, I don't know how to make it any clearer for you.
{6782}{6889}Well, I felt if I could just outline the reasons|for keeping them, you know, bullet point, very brief...
{6890}{6929}It was twenty-six pages!
{6930}{6984}I know, but if we hope to persuade Stargate Command...
{6985}{7029}OK. So tell me.
{7030}{7090}Who would you deprive of the other ZeePMs?
{7091}{7122}The Antarctic outpost?
{7123}{7175}Well, no, because they need it|to power the Chair to protect Earth.
{7176}{7210}OK, how about the Odyssey, then?
{7211}{7279}They're getting the other ZeePM|to help them in their fight against the Ori.
{7280}{7355}Rodney, we have enough power now to raise the shield
{7356}{7422}and cloak the City and dial home.
{7435}{7495}Please, can you start seeing the glass as half full?
{7496}{7543}Well, you mean one-third full.
{7574}{7615}No more emails.
{8376}{8412}{Y:i}I'm sorry.
{8418}{8468}You weren't expecting that?
{8581}{8613}I was tired.
{8614}{8646}That was a long day.
{8667}{8739}- To be honest, I...|- You don't care much for meditation.
{8740}{8787}Never could sit still long enough for it.
{8788}{8857}All the more reason for you to consider...
{9040}{9069}What is it?
{9166}{9200}That woman.
{9263}{9308}What woman?
{9893}{9939}Hey, hey... what's wrong?
{10004}{10030}What?
{10541}{10570}Hey.
{10583}{10625}How long have you been standing there?
{10630}{10659}Hour or so.
{10660}{10720}What?! Why didn't you say anything?|I feel like a...
{10721}{10771}Oh. It's the kidding.
{10774}{10807}What did you wanna show me?
{10808}{10838}Right there.
{10920}{10943}All that...
{10944}{10967}water!
{10968}{11009}Just wait for it.
{11146}{11176}It's my friend.
{11181}{11210}He's back.
{11355}{11432}The scan's clean.|No sign of any physical abnormality.
{11433}{11527}We've seen devices that mess with people's minds...|cause them to hallucinate things.
{11528}{11617}Aye, but they've always had corresponding|neural activity to indicate a problem.
{11620}{11665}{Y:i}No, I'm afraid for the moment anyway,
{11666}{11753}{Y:i}there doesn't appear to be any|physiological reasons for her hallucinations.
{11754}{11810}Then why did she see what she saw?
{11816}{11854}I don't quite know.
{11856}{11921}Many Ancestors died here recently.
{11922}{12016}During the Replicator invasion|the crew of the Tria were all murdered.
{12017}{12109}Perhaps they attempted to ascend|but were prevented from fully doing so...
{12110}{12230}trapped between this plane|of existence and the next.
{12255}{12302}You mean ghosts?
{12313}{12394}You ask me,|it's too much meditation.
{12427}{12475}- Is she gonna be OK?|- I don't know.
{12476}{12514}Hopefully she just needs some rest.
{12515}{12556}- We've all been through quite a lot...|- There you are.
{12557}{12605}- Rodney, I told you...|- Oh, no, not you. I mean Sheppard.
{12607}{12626}Thank you.
{12628}{12656}Oh, I mean,|not that I don't wanna talk to you.
{12657}{12694}Well, you can be a part of this conversation.|In fact...
{12695}{12727}I think you'll probably|find it every bit as interesting...
{12729}{12749}What are you saying?
{12754}{12778}Check it out.
{12793}{12820}Found it in the Ancient database.
{12821}{12890}{Y:i}They have a whole subsection|on indigenous Lantean animal life.
{12891}{12972}Did you know that there was a lobster-like|crustacean down there the size of a Buick?
{13001}{13034}And what is that?
{13035}{13073}That's Rodney's whale friend.
{13075}{13103}{Y:i}Ah, but not actually a whale.
{13104}{13171}Whale-like, but not a mammal. It's a fish.|It's a big, big fish.
{13172}{13215}Did the Ancients have a name for it?
{13216}{13263}Yeah. Flagecallus.
{13277}{13346}I know, they were terrible at naming things.|I've just...
{13349}{13380}I've just called it "whale" for now.
{13381}{13414}And why are you studying this?
{13416}{13478}Oh, cause he's out there right now,|circling the City. Sheppard and I saw him.
{13480}{13559}Probably the very same whale that saved me last year|when I was trapped in that submerged Jumper.
{13560}{13602}I thought Zelenka and I saved you?
{13603}{13694}Well... you did, technically,|but only after Sam led you to me.
{13706}{13727}Sam?!
{13757}{13800}It's the whale. I named him...
{13801}{13858}after Samantha Carter.
{13859}{13944}- Personal reasons.|- You named him after Samantha Carter?!
{13945}{13985}Well, Sam's a boy's name too.
{14010}{14058}And how d'you know...
{14063}{14089}he's a he?
{14092}{14219}Oh, because I cross-referenced the renderings in the|database with the whale outside, and you'll see...
{14220}{14321}- the males have a rather prominent...|- Oh, it's OK, never mind. I'll take your word for it.
{14324}{14403}I trust this little diversion isn't actually|cutting into your work time?
{14405}{14485}Oh, no, no. No, of course not.|No, I'm just dabbling in my free time.
{14490}{14553}Alright, then, boys. Dabble away!
{14570}{14616}So, these whales.
{14617}{14658}Did the Ancients say they're good eating?
{14659}{14684}Oh, you wouldn't!
{14688}{14714}I would.
{15774}{15804}Hello?
{15841}{15864}Wait!
{16251}{16309}You don't understand what the woman is saying?
{16311}{16389}No. I believe she is speaking in the ancestral tongue.
{16414}{16459}You said she's afraid?
{16461}{16486}Of the burned man?
{16488}{16572}No. It is my sense that she's trying to help him.
{16577}{16633}Whatever it is she fears, I do not know.
{16634}{16674}Did you try to talk to her?
{16675}{16702}{Y:i}Yes.
{16706}{16806}But she seems unaware of me.|It is as if I'm not even there.
{16817}{16864}If these are apparitions,
{16867}{16922}why do you think they're appearing to you?
{17009}{17049}Too much meditation.
{17071}{17122}Something Ronon said to me.
{17138}{17264}Well, there are those who believe that meditation|is a way of opening a door to the spiritual world.
{17308}{17413}If these are Ancestors,|trapped between planes of existence,
{17417}{17487}perhaps they are trying to communicate something to me.
{17535}{17622}Maybe they believe I can help them to move on.
{17700}{17769}{Y:i}I don't know why she's experiencing these visions,
{17770}{17852}but she's always been one to shoulder a lot of|emotional responsibility.
{17858}{17938}She may be carrying some guilt over|what happened to the Ancients here recently.
{17939}{17979}Well, why? It certainly wasn't her fault.
{17980}{18024}No, no, of course not, but...
{18025}{18138}somewhere deep inside her she may somehow feel|complicit in the actions that led up to their murders.
{18139}{18182}I'll continue working with her,
{18185}{18224}and see if I can sort things out.
{18225}{18316}OK. I'll make sure she gets some rest,|even if it means taking her off the next mission.
{18317}{18351}She does seem tired.
{18354}{18444}She hasn't been sleeping well, and the last few days|she's been complaining of headaches.
{18445}{18499}Doctor Beckett gave her a clean bill of health.
{18500}{18541}Well, we'll just keep an eye on her.
{18542}{18584}Hopefully it'll all pass.
{18591}{18618}Let's hope so.
{18620}{18644}Thank you.
{19146}{19200}{Y:i}So now both of you are seeing them?
{19208}{19257}Why do you suppose that is?
{19261}{19308}Well, that's why we've come to you.
{19326}{19437}Perhaps they believe that appearing to two people|will increase the chance their message will be heard.
{19438}{19530}If, in fact, they are trying to|communicate something to us...
{19531}{19599}Or maybe it's just the power of suggestion.
{19614}{19679}It's been documented that when one person sees a ghost,
{19680}{19750}it won't be long before others around them see it too.
{19764}{19836}You said it yourself:|you've all been through a lot recently.
{19845}{19897}When's the last time you took a day off?
{19946}{19978}Exactly.
{20004}{20045}Have you seen any more apparitions?
{20046}{20105}- Not recently.|- How are the headaches?
{20122}{20156}Still have them.
{20157}{20197}Have you been able to sleep?
{20239}{20309}Perhaps Doctor Beckett can prescribe something for you.
{20320}{20355}For both of you.
{20444}{20478}Ah, there you are.
{20483}{20526}You are not gonna believe this.
{20527}{20607}- I've been monitoring Sam on the underwater scanner...|- Stop calling him that.
{20608}{20635}- Why?|- It's creepy!
{20637}{20666}No it's not. Look...
{20668}{20734}Here he is, circling the City.|He's been doing it for a while. Won't leave.
{20735}{20766}You didn't feed him, did you?
{20767}{20832}{Y:i}No! Look. Now, if I widen the scan...
{20886}{20918}{Y:i}Another whale.
{20919}{21000}- Yeah. Probably the mother.|- That guy's the size of a football field!
{21002}{21037}A Canadian football field.
{21040}{21093}- So the first one was a baby.|- Yeah.
{21097}{21119}Hey...
{21120}{21165}wanna take a closer look?
{21305}{21329}Radek.
{21331}{21364}Didn't know anyone was here.
{21365}{21397}Do you need to use the Jumper?
{21398}{21457}Yeah. Gonna check out some whales.
{21458}{21528}Rodney's on his way,|he's just taking some Dramamine but...
{21529}{21570}Yeah, we can take another Jumper.
{21574}{21659}Just be careful. I'm not too sure|if I've fixed the navigational glitch.
{21660}{21702}The other Jumpers might be affected as well.
{21703}{21784}Well, we won't go far.|We'll stay within sight of the City, plus,
{21785}{21896}- you'll be tracking us from the control room.|- I will? Oh, yes, yes, I will.
{21904}{21944}Did you say whales?
{21960}{21996}These should help,
{22016}{22135}but don't take them until you can have at least|eight hours of uninterrupted rest.
{22137}{22168}Around here?!
{22178}{22217}When does that ever happen?
{22218}{22310}Well, both Doctor Heightmeyer, and I think|you should take the time to make it happen.
{22325}{22354}Alright.
{22355}{22420}- Thank you, Carson.|- Thank you.
{23477}{23506}You alright?
{23519}{23600}Yeah, I'm fine. I just never feel safe|in these things underwater.
{23607}{23650}In space you're OK?
{23651}{23696}Yeah, of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?
{23723}{23796}- Zelenka, you there?|{y:i}- I'm here. Hello!
{23797}{23915}The whales are deeper now, less than a kilometre|from you in your two o'clock position.
{24003}{24038}There they are.
{24041}{24101}Should have a visual on them any moment now.
{24325}{24362}There's Sam.
{24387}{24444}and there's mama.
{24481}{24529}We need to get a closer look.
{24989}{25024}Ronon?
{25067}{25109}You saw them too?
{25373}{25465}Alright, not too close now, OK?|We still have no idea what these things eat.
{25471}{25509}What? What is it?
{25530}{25599}Nothing. Just got a headache all of a sudden.
{25712}{25744}Where'd they go?
{25751}{25786}I don't know.
{25959}{25994}They're right in front of you.
{25995}{26046}Yeah, we were aware of that.
{26109}{26132}What's wrong.
{26151}{26188}Now my head's hurting too.
{26189}{26235}- That's not a coincidence.|- I don't think so.
{26236}{26271}- I'm pulling back.|- Good idea.
{26272}{26323}Perhaps it's the whales' echo location mechanism.
{26324}{26382}It's creating uncomfortable vibrations which are...
{26383}{26482}Yes, Radek. We are moving away.|Try to keep up, OK?!
{26486}{26513}Oh my.
{26528}{26561}{Y:i}Oh my, what?
{26580}{26633}{Y:i}I'm detecting several more whales.
{26634}{26674}How many more?
{26693}{26724}{Y:i}Dozens more.
{26725}{26792}They're still several kilometres away from you, but
{26812}{26852}they're heading towards you.
{26920}{26952}Rodney?
{26953}{26975}What?
{26976}{27020}Your nose is bleeding.
{27162}{27208}Now you're all seeing them?
{27209}{27295}We just got word that other people in the City|are starting to see them, too.
{27303}{27437}Some see the burned man, others see|the Ancient woman, and a few such as Ronon|here see what appear to be scientists.
{27438}{27479}There's something definitely going on around here.
{27480}{27575}In every sighting, two things remain constant:|all the apparitions are Ancients,
{27576}{27608}and they all seem pretty worried.
{27609}{27700}It is as if they are trying to warn us|about something.
{27709}{27739}{Y:i}Doctor Weir?
{27748}{27771}Yes, Radek?
{27772}{27840}{Y:i}You'd better come to the control room...|right away.
{27848}{27884}Be right there.
{27907}{27945}{Y:i}What's their status?
{27951}{28036}They're moving away from the whales.|Hopefully that will alleviate their pain.
{28048}{28085}John, this is Elizabeth.
{28087}{28121}{Y:i}How are you holding up?
{28122}{28214}Other than feeling like my head's about to explode,|I'm fine.
{28260}{28314}I thought we were moving away from them?
{28315}{28383}I'm trying to, but they're cutting us off.
{28390}{28480}{y:i}- What happened?|- The whales are gettin' way too close.
{28551}{28589}Crap!
{28590}{28651}- John, what's going on there?|{y:i}- Rodney's passed out.
{28652}{28719}His ears are bleeding.|We've gotta get out of the water.
{28725}{28770}Medical team to Jumper Bay.
{28797}{28841}John, are you alright?
{28906}{28932}{Y:i}John?
{29156}{29230}{Y:i}We're out of the water. Rodney's in trouble.|Have a medical team ready.
{29231}{29267}Already done.
{29527}{29580}Their eardrums have been perforated.
{29581}{29600}How?
{29601}{29677}The whales are emitting an intense|low-frequency pulse, like a...
{29678}{29739}like a sonar, as well as an EM field.
{29740}{29781}The combination is very dangerous to humans,
{29782}{29865}- particularly in such close proximity.|- It's the whales!
{29871}{30005}- Hearing's been impaired. It should heal soon.|- It's their echo location.|It's creating very powerful vibrations.
{30006}{30104}- The closer we got, the worse it became.|- Yes, Rodney, we know!
{30155}{30179}What?
{30180}{30221}They should rest.
{30222}{30252}Agreed!
{30258}{30296}I'll come back.
{30386}{30442}{Y:i}The whales are approaching from every direction.
{30443}{30515}{Y:i}It appears that they're converging on Atlantis.
{30516}{30598}- We are their destination?|- Yes. It appears so.
{30603}{30685}The signals they emit are their way|of communicating with each other.
{30686}{30748}Unfortunately, the closer they get to the City,
{30749}{30794}the more it may affect the people living here.
{30795}{30872}- Even above the waterline?|{y:i}- We are already being affected.
{30873}{30984}Several of us are experiencing headaches not as severe|as Doctor McKay or Colonel Sheppard, but
{30985}{31038}if these whales get any closer...
{31039}{31072}Turn on the shield.
{31073}{31099}Aye.
{31156}{31199}These apparitions we've been seeing:
{31200}{31264}if they are indeed trying to warn us of something,
{31269}{31307}perhaps this is it.
{31322}{31429}I first saw the Ancient woman|at the same time Rodney saw the first whale.
{31970}{32018}Pain's goin' away.
{32033}{32088}Think my hearing's gettin' better too.
{32106}{32148}What about you?
{32193}{32231}Rodney?
{32313}{32383}Canadian football league's a joke.
{32452}{32520}Celine Dion is over-rated.
{32537}{32625}- Zelenka is smarter than you are!|- Hey!
{32636}{32700}I found mention of a bio-lab in the database!
{32701}{32779}Ancient scientists used it to study animal life.|We should check it out!
{32780}{32805}OK...
{32825}{32855}Meredith.
{32895}{32925}How's it going?
{32960}{33025}More people are falling ill...|headaches, nosebleeds.
{33026}{33070}I'm giving everyone painkillers, hopefully
{33071}{33120}buy some time until we figure out how to stop this.
{33121}{33149}And how are you feeling?
{33150}{33195}My head's throbbing a wee bit but I'll manage.
{33196}{33219}You?
{33220}{33250}I'm fine.
{33280}{33330}{Y:i}Here: painkillers...
{33331}{33360}just in case.
{33366}{33430}Thank you. I hope it doesn't get...
{33431}{33479}{Y:i}Hey, hey! What's this?
{33480}{33550}That's a damned good question.|Who said you could get out of bed?
{33565}{33600}We're feelin' a lot better.
{33601}{33682}- Well, I beg to differ. Back to bed, the pair of you.|- We need to check out a lab.
{33683}{33770}- What lab?|- It's a bio-lab. Turned up in my whale research.
{33771}{33856}- It's in one of the flooded areas of the City.|- Formerly flooded.
{33857}{33920}{Y:i}With the area finally repaired,|we're now able to access it.
{33921}{34020}According to the database, the Ancient biologists|used it to study animal life on the planet.
{34021}{34066}Look, there may be some more information stored there.
{34067}{34142}Such as how to tell these whales|how to get the hell outta here.
{34143}{34230}But we won't know that for sure|until I can have a look at it.
{34305}{34335}Alright.
{34400}{34430}{Y:i}Doctor Weir?
{34460}{34490}Go ahead.
{34495}{34538}{Y:i}Daedalus just arrived in orbit.
{34539}{34600}{Y:i}They're requesting permission to beam people down.
{34684}{34719}What do you mean, no?
{34720}{34808}{Y:i}I'm afraid things down here might get|a lot worse before they get any better.
{34809}{34905}{Y:i}It's probably safer for you to stay up|there until we can sort this problem out.
{35330}{35358}I'm sorry.
{35359}{35400}I do not understand.
{35868}{35886}{Y:i}Come on.
{35887}{35935}Gotta get you to the Infirmary.
{36225}{36255}This is it!
{36540}{36575}Alright.
{36586}{36621}Let's see.
{37032}{37062}Did you put up the shield?
{37063}{37121}{Y:i}Yes, but it only extends so far
{37122}{37198}and the whales' signals seem|to be able to penetrate it.
{37199}{37315}Well, we might be able to manage it if there were only|a few dozen whales, but we're talking hundreds now.
{37325}{37370}And they're swimming closer as we speak.
{37371}{37452}{Y:i}Doctor McKay is checking out an Ancient bio-lab.
{37453}{37528}{Y:i}Hopefully there'll be some information|there that could lead us to a solution.
{37529}{37565}And if there isn't?
{37569}{37657}Well, we'll have to consider evacuating|Atlantis until the whales leave.
{37658}{37705}Supposing they don't leave?
{37715}{37760}What are you suggesting, Colonel?
{37761}{37815}You've got plenty of drones in your arsenal.
{37830}{37878}You're saying we should kill them?
{37879}{37915}Before they kill you.
{37920}{37970}{Y:i}They're not trying to kill us.
{37984}{38019}It's quite the opposite.
{38020}{38085}- I think they're trying to help us.|- Help us?
{38089}{38141}Come on... you should see this.
{38142}{38185}I see your hearing has improved.
{38186}{38215}What?
{38250}{38280}What is he...?
{38300}{38430}It's like a receiver calibrated to the specific|frequencies on which the whales communicate.
{38431}{38516}The Ancients designed it to study whales|so they could learn about their songs.
{38517}{38635}They were studying the whales' language, trying to|assign frequencies to emotions and identify moods.
{38636}{38705}All sorts of tree-huggy stuff.|Tell `em about the ghosts.
{38720}{38773}Not ghosts... image projections.
{38774}{38824}{Y:i}There appears to be a causal|relationship with the whales.
{38825}{38885}They may very well be what's been|projecting the images to us
{38886}{38947}and this receiver should from...|what I can tell so far...
{38948}{38971}be able to interpret them.
{38972}{39067}Seems like we've been going about this backwards.|The ghosts aren't warning us about the whales.
{39068}{39103}- They're not?|{y:i}- No.
{39104}{39170}No, it seems the whales may be|using the images to warn us.
{39171}{39200}About what?
{39201}{39276}Ah, well, that...|that I don't know yet.
{39277}{39350}But, judging from the way this machine is freaking out,
{39351}{39390}it can't be good.
{39680}{39710}{Y:i}Alright?
{39822}{39856}How're you faring?
{39945}{39990}I keep seeing them.
{39994}{40025}Aye.
{40120}{40150}Me too.
{40216}{40250}I've just spoken with Colonel Caldwell.
{40251}{40334}The Daedalus Infirmary is ready|to beam up the sickest of the patients.
{40335}{40355}Good.
{40358}{40397}Teyla should be amongst the first to go.
{40398}{40435}No. I'm staying.
{40436}{40477}{Y:i}You're far too sick, dear.
{40503}{40550}He's a pilot.
{40578}{40615}The burned man.
{40625}{40673}{Y:i}I just noticed his uniform.
{40674}{40755}He is an Ancient pilot.
{40790}{40820}- Carson!|- Aye?
{40821}{40855}Your nose.
{40905}{40950}Oh, bloody hell.
{40960}{41000}`Scuse me.
{41242}{41269}How's he doing?
{41272}{41370}I don't know. He's taking a while.|A lot longer than he usually takes.
{41374}{41417}He can hear you, you know!
{41418}{41460}Yeah. We know.
{41465}{41510}OK, let's have a listen.
{41665}{41720}- Who's that?|- The woman...
{41721}{41780}the Ancient woman.|That's her voice, I'm sure of it.
{41781}{41804}She's speaking Ancient?
{41805}{41869}No. I mean, it doesn't sound like the language.
{41870}{41956}The phonetic rhythm is similar|but I don't recognise any of the words.
{41957}{42000}That's because it's gibberish...
{42001}{42060}well, to be more accurate, it's an attempt at mimicry.
{42061}{42077}Look...
{42078}{42138}it turns out the receiver is also a transmitter.
{42139}{42186}{Y:i}The Ancients weren't just trying|to learn the whales' language...
{42187}{42290}they were attempting to teach them theirs|by sending them auditory and visual signals.
{42291}{42348}And while they were doing that,|they experienced a traumatic moment
{42349}{42416}which the whales then stored in their genetic memory.
{42417}{42457}And that's what the images|we've been seeing are?
{42458}{42502}Exactly. Re-runs.
{42503}{42529}{Y:i}Now, unfortunately,
{42530}{42618}these whales are several generations|removed from the incident, so they're...
{42619}{42718}finding the language a bit of a tough go. It's kind of|like trying to sing the lyrics to The Macarena.
{42719}{42783}You can send out the words but you|have no idea what you're singing.
{42784}{42854}OK. So this traumatic event...
{42855}{42919}I'm assuming it's the war against the Wraith.
{42920}{42964}That would be my assumption as well, yes.
{42965}{43025}And, what, the whales are trying|to warn us that it might happen again?
{43026}{43057}I don't know. Possibly.
{43058}{43111}So what? The Wraith might attack.
{43112}{43141}Tell us something we don't know.
{43142}{43172}Ah. Interesting thing is,
{43173}{43245}the Ancients seemed to be aware|of the whales' deficient mimicry skills
{43246}{43345}and so they incorporated a kind of acoustic|language filter into the receiver.
{43346}{43402}That's what's been taking me|so long to figure out.
{43403}{43441}Well, did you figure it out?
{43442}{43492}Well, let's have a listen, shall we?
{43628}{43663}Guess the answer's no.
{43664}{43725}Just... hang on, hang on. If I...
{43916}{43966}Hey, wait a minute. Play that back again.
{44084}{44116}This is Ancient.
{44118}{44175}At least, I can make out a few of the words now.
{44176}{44198}{Y:i}"Incursus"...
{44199}{44295}- something was attacked, or overtaken.|- Meaning Atlantis.
{44296}{44326}No, I don't think so.
{44330}{44355}Adaris?
{44356}{44392}What's "adaris"?
{44402}{44432}I don't know.
{44505}{44540}{Y:i}They've arrived...
{44559}{44603}Hundreds of them.
{44625}{44653}{Y:i}Doctor Weir.
{44667}{44700}Go ahead, Colonel.
{44710}{44770}The sick patients have been beamed up.|Our Infirmary's filled.
{44771}{44798}{Y:i}Thank you.
{44803}{44910}Unfortunately, more people are falling ill down here,|so it's not really making much of a dent.
{44911}{44978}Listen, whether these creatures are|trying to communicate with you or not,
{44979}{45016}at some point you're gonna have to deal with them.
{45017}{45113}{y:i}- If they don't leave...|- I'm sure there are options besides killing them.
{45129}{45172}- What's wrong?|- We figured it out.
{45173}{45275}- Well, actually, I did most of the figuring, but...|- Adaris is a ship we found in the Ancient database.
{45276}{45315}It's an Ancient science vessel. About...
{45316}{45378}fifteen thousand years ago, it ran into some trouble.
{45379}{45437}The entire crew was killed except for the pilot.
{45438}{45531}The burned man. Teyla noticed the uniform.|He was an Ancient pilot.
{45532}{45585}- Which would explain the burns.|- What does?
{45586}{45643}The ship got hit by a blast of|radiation from the sun.
{45644}{45687}It's a coronal mass ejection
{45688}{45773}on a scale that dwarfs anything|our sun has ever emitted.
{45777}{45907}Apparently the sun in this solar system goes|through an unusually turbulent sunspot cycle|every fifteen thousand years or so.
{45908}{45981}The Ancients have records of this class|of CME occurring twice before.
{45983}{46039}The ship was very close to the sun|when it happened.
{46040}{46073}{Y:i}It's a massive prominence.
{46074}{46156}It arced up and then collapsed when the|magnetic field surrounding it weakened.
{46157}{46207}We're talking an intense proton stream
{46208}{46264}travelling at over four thousand kilometres per second.
{46265}{46346}Most of the crew was killed instantly|but the pilot managed to open up a hyperspace window
{46347}{46378}just as they were hit.
{46379}{46470}He flew the ship back here, jumping ahead of the|radiation wave just in time to warn everyone.
{46471}{46501}The Ancients were able to raise the shield
{46503}{46581}and extend it far enough to protect a large|portion of the planet from the blast.
{46582}{46645}So what are you telling me?|This is going to happen soon?
{46646}{46667}Not soon.
{46678}{46725}It's happening right now.
{47020}{47054}How're you doing?
{47086}{47123}I have felt better.
{47142}{47185}You need any more pain medicine?
{47203}{47226}No.
{47250}{47300}It does not seem to help any more.
{47311}{47384}{Y:i}Well, just hang on. You're gonna be fine.
{47419}{47473}Teyla? Look at me.
{47484}{47511}Look at me.
{47520}{47562}You gotta hold on.
{47605}{47677}Gotta teach me those meditation lessons.
{47725}{47776}You are hopeless.
{47777}{47804}Yeah.
{47812}{47842}I know.
{47959}{47986}{Y:i}Teyla?
{48032}{48059}Nurse.
{48155}{48222}{Y:i}The magnetic field around it|is already beginning to weaken.
{48223}{48265}When that prominence collapses,
{48266}{48317}the coronal mass ejection will occur.
{48318}{48368}It'll erupt from a very small area...
{48369}{48446}a mere pinprick in comparison|to the total sun's surface,
{48447}{48493}but it'll immediately begin to fan out.
{48494}{48531}{Y:i}Within a few million miles,
{48532}{48602}{Y:i}the blast wave will cut a swathe wide|enough to take out this entire planet.
{48603}{48631}How much time do we have?
{48632}{48701}The prominence will collapse any moment now.|After that, we have less than an hour
{48702}{48736}before the radiation wave hits us.
{48737}{48801}- Why didn't we notice this before?|- Because these things happen very quickly.
{48802}{48882}This kind of sunspot cycle is extremely chaotic...|impossible to predict.
{48883}{48945}{Y:i}No doubt that's what caused the glitch|in the Jumper's navigational systems.
{48946}{49024}Not to mention our focus was on attack|from the Wraith, not the sun.
{49025}{49074}The whales were aware this was happening.
{49075}{49131}- Well, a lot of animals... whales, dolphins...|- Pigeons...
{49136}{49194}are affected by the tiniest anomalies|in the magnetosphere.
{49195}{49270}It's as if their internal compasses are somehow..
{49278}{49314}pigeons?!
{49330}{49407}Yeah, homing pigeons, yes.|I used to raise them before coming here. We...
{49408}{49466}used to consult solar charts|before our pigeon races.
{49467}{49513}- Pigeon races!|- Rodney.
{49531}{49598}Well, it's still somewhat of a mystery|how they're able to sense this trouble,
{49599}{49639}but they do, often well before we do.
{49640}{49670}Whatever. What are our options?
{49671}{49707}Well, the Ancients were able to raise the shield
{49708}{49780}and stretch it wide enough to protect|a significant portion of the planet...
{49781}{49860}attenuated, to be sure, more of a thin bubble,|but it was able to...
{49861}{49890}block out enough of the radiation...
{49891}{49974}That's interesting, because we have found evidence|of mass extinction on other parts of the planet.
{49975}{50025}Wow! Well, now we know what caused it
{50026}{50098}OK, so our shield is already activated. What else?
{50099}{50126}Small problem.
{50130}{50201}The Ancients had three ZedPMs|at their disposal and we...
{50203}{50254}as you know... only have one.
{50256}{50336}Maybe I was so insistent on keeping them|because I... too am able to...
{50338}{50401}- sense trouble on the horizon.|- Just like a pigeon.
{50402}{50485}So we just need to get the other|two ZeePMs back here temporarily...
{50486}{50501}Not enough time.
{50502}{50560}Look, the Odyssey's away from Earth.|In the time it would take them to return,
{50563}{50602}the blast wave would almost certainly have hit us.
{50603}{50659}How far can we extend the shield with one ZeePM?
{50660}{50750}Well, enough to cover the City and perhaps|a little bit of the ocean surrounding it, but...
{50751}{50817}- We should evacuate, just to make sure.|- We can't gate to Earth.
{50818}{50873}Look, we need the ZedPM's power for the shields.
{50880}{50941}- We've got the intergalactic Bridge.|- The midway station isn't completed yet.
{50942}{51014}We'd need to ferry people by Jumper. Again, no time.
{51026}{51093}Alright... we'll send everyone to the Alpha Site|and pick `em up when this is over.
{51094}{51139}I don't think you understand.
{51142}{51219}{Y:i}Look, the shield will protect the City|from the initial blast, yes,
{51220}{51266}but the entire ecosystem of this planet
{51267}{51346}will be damaged beyond recovery for hundreds of years.
{51348}{51441}Look, we're talking no plant life,|which means no breathable air...
{51674}{51704}{Y:i}Beckett.
{51726}{51756}Elizabeth?
{51803}{51830}Dammit.
{52027}{52058}Sergeant Bell...
{52059}{52132}developed an aneurysm from the pressure.|First fatality.
{52304}{52332}How is she?
{52337}{52368}Out of time.
{52385}{52429}Guess we all are.
{52448}{52481}Sheppard.
{52540}{52575}You got a plan?
{52620}{52651}Sure.
{52742}{52775}{Y:i}Look at them!
{52776}{52846}{Y:i}Seeking shelter under the umbrella of the City.
{52847}{52911}No-no-no...|We don't have nearly enough power.
{52912}{52988}Look, we can extend the shield twenty kilometres|beyond the City, maybe.
{52989}{53105}But it'll be dangerously thin and there's no way|of knowing whether we can sustain it,|especially in a radiation blast of fifty thousand rem.
{53106}{53159}Colonel Caldwell? This is Sheppard.
{53161}{53190}Go ahead, Colonel.
{53191}{53226}{Y:i}I think we have a plan.
{53246}{53275}We do?
{53282}{53342}{Y:i}- This is not a good plan.|- Sure it is.
{53345}{53393}You realise just how close|we'll have to get to the sun?
{53394}{53472}- Pretty damned close, I'm thinkin'.|- Suicidally close. I mean, we'll be toast.
{53473}{53557}{Y:i}That's why we're taking the ZeePM...|to give the Daedalus' shield an extra boost.
{53558}{53666}OK... OK, you want to deflect the coronal mass|ejection away from the planet.
{53675}{53728}- Like an umbrella.|{y:i}- OK, listen to me.
{53740}{53762}{Y:i}This...
{53763}{53789}{Y:i}this is the sun...
{53790}{53808}{Y:i}and this...
{53809}{53839}{Y:i}this is us.
{53842}{53914}A bolt of energy unlike anything|you could possibly comprehend
{53915}{53998}is gonna shoot out of the photosphere|at a tremendous velocity,
{53999}{54052}OK? It is gonna immediately start fanning out...
{54053}{54090}{y:i}- like so.|- I know.
{54091}{54131}{Y:i}Which means that we will have to be
{54132}{54175}{Y:i}really close to the surface of the sun
{54176}{54261}if we wanna intercept that stream and|deflect it before it can start spreading out.
{54262}{54316}- I know, Rodney!|- No, no, I don't think you do.
{54317}{54371}I don't think you fully grasp the reality
{54372}{54421}of just how damned hot it gets that close
{54422}{54485}- to the surface of the sun.|- That's why we're taking a ZeePM...
{54486}{54558}- to strengthen the shields.|- From the blast wave, yes...
{54559}{54598}but even with the shields at that strength,
{54599}{54654}{Y:i}the build-up of residual heat behind it could cause
{54655}{54721}serious problems for the Daedalus,|and everyone inside it.
{54722}{54772}"Could". "Could" cause.
{54774}{54815}OK. Tell me...
{54816}{54893}if this is such a great plan,|why didn't the Ancients do it?
{54894}{54920}They were in the middle of a war!
{54921}{54978}They probably didn't have a ship available at the time.
{54979}{55009}{Y:i}And, like you said...
{55011}{55060}they had three ZeePMs.
{55064}{55089}{Y:i}Rodney?
{55095}{55161}- What?|{y:i}- The prominence has begun collapsing.
{55193}{55242}Colonel Caldwell, we're ready.
{55477}{55512}{Y:i}How's it going, Rodney?
{55518}{55647}You know, this might look easy, but it's actually|a little more complicated than just flipping a switch.
{55670}{55718}Hurry up, please. We're there.
{55731}{55761}What, we are already?
{55765}{55796}{Y:i}Not far to go.
{55977}{56069}Position, Doctor. The shields are up.|We need the extra power from that ZeePM now.
{56070}{56128}Yes, yes. I just need to...
{56184}{56214}Oh, no.
{56246}{56275}What?
{56284}{56364}The prominence is fully collapsing into the photosphere.|Brace yourselves.
{56554}{56582}{Y:i}Rodney?
{56602}{56658}ZedPM is online.
{57079}{57123}How long will this last, Doctor?
{57124}{57184}Anywhere from a few seconds to several hours.
{57185}{57209}{Y:i}Hours?!
{57210}{57313}- You never said anything about hours!|- We're building up serious heat behind the shield.
{57314}{57366}I told you this wasn't a good plan!
{57394}{57423}{Y:i}How're they doing?
{57432}{57513}Well, according to my calculations,|the blast wave should have hit us by now but
{57514}{57584}I'm reading no discernable increase in radiation.
{57654}{57700}So they're doing good?
{57715}{57739}Yes.
{57740}{57773}So far, anyway.
{57841}{57895}{Y:i}Temperature inside the shield's rising too fast.
{57896}{57963}I'm already detecting several failed|sensors on the bow.
{57964}{58029}If this thing keeps going,|the heat build-up could damage the hull.
{58030}{58077}Not "could". It's already damaging it.
{58078}{58149}- We have a breach in the 302 Bay.|- Seal it off.
{58271}{58345}Another breach, deck four.|We're venting atmosphere.
{58754}{58784}Rodney?
{58870}{58898}It's over.
{58935}{58979}And we're not toast.
{59004}{59045}We're not toast!
{59069}{59109}Good plan...?
{59414}{59464}{Y:i}Most of them are gone now.
{59480}{59537}They began dispersing almost immediately.
{59539}{59592}Without so much as a thank you.
{59609}{59668}No... thank you!
{60165}{60206}How're you feeling?
{60211}{60247}Much better.
{60276}{60340}Walked the whole way over here, didn't see one ghost.
{60356}{60392}Nor did I.
{60470}{60513}- Mind if I join you...?|- If you...
{60514}{60576}fall asleep one more time...
{60754}{60791}{Y:i}Hit me with that.
{61073}{61154}- They're gone, Rodney.|- Not all of them. Look.
{61212}{61241}Let me guess:
{61245}{61281}your buddy, Sam.
{61282}{61311}I like to think so.
{61312}{61360}I like to think he's saying goodbye.
{61388}{61426}Makes sense.
{61427}{61493}He saved your life, now you've saved his.
{61505}{61540}You're even.
