1
00:00:00,042 --> 00:00:02,377
Previously on Stargate Atlantis.
2
00:00:02,419 --> 00:00:03,504
They're not people!
3
00:00:03,545 --> 00:00:04,671
They're machines!
4
00:00:04,755 --> 00:00:07,549
They even built themselves a version of Atlantis.
5
00:00:09,009 --> 00:00:11,386
Probes of your mind, uncover the truth.
6
00:00:11,470 --> 00:00:15,140
You only came to live there, from your original home.
A planet called Earth.
7
00:00:15,307 --> 00:00:17,976
- Our intention is to destroy it.
- They see Humans as
8
00:00:18,018 --> 00:00:21,188
the favourite siblings
who receive all the parents love.
9
00:00:21,230 --> 00:00:23,398
They've been seeking revenge ever since.
10
00:00:23,524 --> 00:00:26,568
Atlantis is under attack from Replicators!
11
00:00:26,818 --> 00:00:31,365
I'll be damned if I'm gonna let a bunch
of Replicators take our home away from us.
12
00:00:31,406 --> 00:00:35,202
They emit a directional energy field
that disrupts the connection between nanites.
13
00:00:35,244 --> 00:00:37,621
So the Replicators literally
fall apart when you fire on 'em.
14
00:00:37,663 --> 00:00:38,956
Well, we beat 'em this time,
15
00:00:38,997 --> 00:00:40,999
maybe we scared them off.
16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,544
Maybe.
17
00:00:47,172 --> 00:00:48,674
Doctor Weir.
18
00:00:49,424 --> 00:00:52,094
Doctor Keller.
How is my Head of Medicine?
19
00:00:52,135 --> 00:00:52,845
Acting
20
00:00:52,886 --> 00:00:56,348
Head of Medicine, actually,
and that's kinda what I wanted to talk to you about.
21
00:00:56,557 --> 00:00:57,850
What's up?
22
00:00:59,268 --> 00:01:00,853
I need to be replaced.
23
00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:02,145
Excuse me?
24
00:01:02,980 --> 00:01:04,773
Look, after Carson...
25
00:01:06,024 --> 00:01:10,529
someone had to step up and take over,
and I'm glad to help out, don't get me wrong, but
26
00:01:10,571 --> 00:01:13,740
I'm not qualified
to run a department of this size. You...
27
00:01:13,782 --> 00:01:15,325
you need someone...
28
00:01:15,784 --> 00:01:16,994
better.
29
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:19,204
Everyone down there says you're doing great.
30
00:01:19,246 --> 00:01:21,373
Well, "A" I'm not sure that's true,
31
00:01:21,415 --> 00:01:25,878
and "B" it's been pretty smooth sailing
over the last few weeks. I think I've been lucky.
32
00:01:25,919 --> 00:01:28,297
Well, the I.O.A. are reviewing candidates but,
33
00:01:28,338 --> 00:01:30,716
to be honest, they're not that great
at making quick decisions.
34
00:01:30,757 --> 00:01:32,259
Yeah. So, a week?
35
00:01:32,301 --> 00:01:33,677
Two weeks?
36
00:01:33,969 --> 00:01:36,555
I just haven't been sleeping very well.
This whole...
37
00:01:36,597 --> 00:01:41,310
- being in control thing kind of makes me anxious.
- Carson felt the same way his first few months.
38
00:01:41,351 --> 00:01:43,645
I appreciate you trying to lie to me.
39
00:01:47,524 --> 00:01:48,275
Look...
40
00:01:48,317 --> 00:01:51,069
I feel very comfortable
with my life in your hands,
41
00:01:51,111 --> 00:01:54,031
and at the end of the day,
that means you're doin' a pretty good job.
42
00:01:54,406 --> 00:01:57,618
Dealing with the pressure
it does get easier with time.
43
00:01:58,493 --> 00:01:59,411
Right.
44
00:01:59,494 --> 00:02:01,330
How much time...
45
00:02:01,371 --> 00:02:02,789
exactly?
46
00:02:03,248 --> 00:02:06,293
Like, it'll get easier over the next
two weeks and then you'll replace me,
47
00:02:06,335 --> 00:02:09,213
so I can go back to being a regular doctor?
48
00:02:09,421 --> 00:02:11,173
I'll keep you posted!
49
00:02:13,842 --> 00:02:15,052
Thanks!
50
00:02:17,846 --> 00:02:19,723
Can I please have someone else do these?
51
00:02:19,765 --> 00:02:21,558
- Performance evaluations?
- Yes.
52
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:22,351
No.
53
00:02:22,392 --> 00:02:24,520
Year-end employee reviews are important.
54
00:02:24,561 --> 00:02:26,980
They're how people get promotions, and raises.
55
00:02:27,064 --> 00:02:29,775
OK, look. Asking me to do
performance evaluations is ridiculous.
56
00:02:29,816 --> 00:02:31,151
I am the first person to admit...
57
00:02:31,193 --> 00:02:33,320
I don't know who these people are,
nor do I care to.
58
00:02:33,362 --> 00:02:35,572
Look, if you'd like, I could take you down
the hall to the labs and just
59
00:02:35,614 --> 00:02:39,618
point at the people who annoy me more
than the rest, but that's about as useful as I get.
60
00:02:41,537 --> 00:02:43,497
- All done.
- Oh, of course.
61
00:02:43,539 --> 00:02:45,165
That was quick!
62
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:47,835
Hey, John, wait a minute.
63
00:02:47,876 --> 00:02:50,587
You've just given everyone
excellent and above averages.
64
00:02:50,629 --> 00:02:52,422
- Can I do that?
- No!
65
00:02:52,464 --> 00:02:54,883
I know this is not the most
glamorous part of your job,
66
00:02:54,925 --> 00:02:57,010
but you are in leadership positions and,
67
00:02:57,052 --> 00:03:00,681
unfortunately, that comes
with administrative responsibilities.
68
00:03:00,764 --> 00:03:03,392
Well, everybody who works for me
is excellent and above average.
69
00:03:03,433 --> 00:03:04,476
You want me to lie?
70
00:03:04,518 --> 00:03:07,187
`Cause I don't think leaders should lie,
Elizabeth.
71
00:03:08,021 --> 00:03:09,064
Doctor Weir?
72
00:03:09,106 --> 00:03:10,399
Yes, Chuck?
73
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,568
The Apollo just came out of hyperspace.
74
00:03:12,734 --> 00:03:14,570
They're ahead of schedule.
75
00:03:14,903 --> 00:03:16,947
Probably just tryin' to show off...
you know,
76
00:03:16,989 --> 00:03:18,574
bein' a new ship an' all.
77
00:03:18,699 --> 00:03:21,702
Colonel Ellis, you've made excellent time
on your first voyage here.
78
00:03:21,743 --> 00:03:24,872
- Thank you. I'm beaming down now.
- Very well. We'll m...
79
00:03:29,418 --> 00:03:31,378
Set up in the Conference Room.
80
00:03:31,753 --> 00:03:32,921
Doctor.
81
00:03:33,088 --> 00:03:34,131
Colonel.
82
00:03:34,173 --> 00:03:35,632
- Welcome.
- Thank you.
83
00:03:35,841 --> 00:03:37,009
Colonel Sheppard,
84
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:38,385
Doctor McKay.
85
00:03:38,886 --> 00:03:42,097
This is gonna make things easier.
I'll need to brief you all immediately.
86
00:03:42,139 --> 00:03:43,515
What's going on?
87
00:03:44,266 --> 00:03:46,602
Well, I'd prefer to talk in private.
88
00:03:54,610 --> 00:03:58,488
Ever since the human-form Replicators
made a play for the City,
89
00:03:58,530 --> 00:04:03,243
we've had the Daedalus make regular
reconnaissance fly-bys of their home planet.
90
00:04:03,452 --> 00:04:04,786
Yes, we know.
91
00:04:04,828 --> 00:04:06,038
Two months ago,
92
00:04:06,079 --> 00:04:07,623
it took these pictures.
93
00:04:09,208 --> 00:04:11,710
I'm sorry, what am I supposed to be looking at here?
94
00:04:11,752 --> 00:04:13,003
Nothing.
95
00:04:13,378 --> 00:04:14,630
Excuse me?
96
00:04:15,797 --> 00:04:16,715
This image
97
00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:19,009
was taken about three weeks ago
98
00:04:19,426 --> 00:04:22,137
in the very same location.
99
00:04:22,554 --> 00:04:24,181
They're building ships...
100
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:25,140
a lot of them.
101
00:04:25,182 --> 00:04:27,309
Why weren't we made aware of this?
102
00:04:27,351 --> 00:04:29,394
I'm making you aware of it now.
103
00:04:30,229 --> 00:04:32,814
Well, if they're coming for us, we should start
making preparations to bolster the shield.
104
00:04:32,856 --> 00:04:34,858
- I mean, we should...
- They're not gonna get here.
105
00:04:35,067 --> 00:04:40,155
I'm here to inform you that in precisely twelve hours,
the Apollo, in consort with your team...
106
00:04:40,447 --> 00:04:42,449
will launch a surgical strike
107
00:04:42,491 --> 00:04:44,243
on the Replicator planet.
108
00:04:57,130 --> 00:05:00,050
Season 3, Episode 20
First strike

111
00:05:51,810 --> 00:05:52,728
So...
112
00:05:52,936 --> 00:05:54,605
you're gonna blow up their ships.
113
00:05:54,646 --> 00:05:55,647
That's right.
114
00:05:55,689 --> 00:05:56,690
Just like that?
115
00:05:56,732 --> 00:05:57,691
Just like that.
116
00:05:57,733 --> 00:05:59,359
How the hell do you plan on doing that?
117
00:05:59,401 --> 00:06:01,612
A set of Mark Nine tactical nukes
118
00:06:01,653 --> 00:06:04,740
housed in a custom-made
weapons platform codenamed
119
00:06:04,781 --> 00:06:07,034
- Horizon.
- How many nukes do you have?
120
00:06:07,075 --> 00:06:10,078
The Horizon carries six warheads and four decoys.
121
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,498
I'm gonna need you to do
a final inspection before we head out.
122
00:06:13,790 --> 00:06:15,751
- Wait. Six?
- That's right.
123
00:06:15,792 --> 00:06:16,960
That's not enough.
124
00:06:17,002 --> 00:06:21,673
The Replicators are self-replicating robots,
which means that they can...
125
00:06:21,715 --> 00:06:23,717
I'm aware of that, thank you, Doctor,
126
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:27,596
but they're not like the Milky Way Replicators.
Their ships aren't built from nanocells.
127
00:06:27,638 --> 00:06:31,308
They're constructed of real material
that can be destroyed.
128
00:06:31,350 --> 00:06:33,519
Six will be more than enough for now.
129
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:34,394
"For now"?
130
00:06:34,478 --> 00:06:37,481
Look, isn't this a bit like poking a sleeping dragon?
Why don't we just wait `til
131
00:06:37,523 --> 00:06:40,192
Area 51 finishes the P.W.A.R.Ws?
132
00:06:40,275 --> 00:06:41,527
Which one's that, again?
133
00:06:41,568 --> 00:06:43,612
Planetary-Wide Anti-Replicator Weapons.
134
00:06:43,654 --> 00:06:47,824
Look, the Asgard were capable of creating a satellite
that could wipe out an entire Replicator planet.
135
00:06:47,866 --> 00:06:50,077
I mean, we've had some trouble
making one of our own but...
136
00:06:50,118 --> 00:06:55,415
Look, would I've prefer taking out
an entire planet at once? Absolutely.
137
00:06:55,582 --> 00:06:59,086
But this image is giving
the I.O.A. a lot of sleepless nights.
138
00:06:59,127 --> 00:07:01,672
The Replicators know the location of Earth,
139
00:07:01,713 --> 00:07:04,383
and with these new ships,
have the means to get there.
140
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:07,594
We can't just sit on our hands
while the guys at Area 51
141
00:07:07,636 --> 00:07:09,638
try to come up with a solution.
142
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:15,352
This mission's primary objective
is to eliminate key military targets.
143
00:07:15,394 --> 00:07:18,146
We'll come back and finish
once the new weapon is up and running.
144
00:07:18,188 --> 00:07:21,525
Doctor, I'm gonna need you to start
your inspections as soon as possible.
145
00:07:21,567 --> 00:07:24,278
- Well, yes, sure. I just...
- Doctor McKay is ready to beam.
146
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:26,363
Well, he's not, actually...
147
00:07:29,324 --> 00:07:30,450
OK.
148
00:07:32,953 --> 00:07:34,746
We're finished here.
149
00:07:35,622 --> 00:07:36,915
Thank you.
150
00:07:41,253 --> 00:07:42,504
Can you believe this?
151
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,006
No.
152
00:07:45,215 --> 00:07:47,676
It all seems too good to be true.
153
00:07:48,385 --> 00:07:49,553
What?
154
00:07:49,803 --> 00:07:53,056
Well, if those nukes do what Ellis says they do...
155
00:07:53,265 --> 00:07:57,769
Since we won back the City, we haven't heard
so much as a peep from the Replicators.
156
00:07:57,811 --> 00:07:59,855
Well, obviously they haven't gone away.
157
00:07:59,897 --> 00:08:03,233
No, but maybe they've decided that
we are more trouble than we're worth.
158
00:08:03,317 --> 00:08:06,737
That the threat of our A.R. weapons
is enough to keep them at bay.
159
00:08:07,696 --> 00:08:10,866
You don't build that many ships
to make a run at Atlantis.
160
00:08:12,576 --> 00:08:14,453
They're headed for Earth.
161
00:08:20,918 --> 00:08:22,377
Colonel.
162
00:08:22,753 --> 00:08:24,129
May I have a word?
163
00:08:24,546 --> 00:08:25,672
Sure.
164
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,598
This mission is a mistake.
165
00:08:34,681 --> 00:08:36,391
It most certainly is not.
166
00:08:36,808 --> 00:08:40,979
It is an ineffectual first strike.
You've gotta know how dangerous that could be for us.
167
00:08:41,063 --> 00:08:43,732
All due respect, Doctor, it won't be ineffectual.
168
00:08:43,815 --> 00:08:46,318
Besides, the I.O.A. doesn't think we can wait.
169
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,488
I think we should stall them,
try to open a round of negotiations.
170
00:08:49,530 --> 00:08:51,198
They're not a race of people.
171
00:08:51,365 --> 00:08:53,325
They're a weapon. Try to keep that in mind.
172
00:08:53,534 --> 00:08:55,494
Weapon or not, they're sentient.
173
00:08:55,536 --> 00:09:00,415
Negotiating with them could buy us
enough time to get the P.W.A.R.W. up and running.
174
00:09:00,541 --> 00:09:04,920
Usually I'd be more than happy to go
twelve rounds here about who's right and who's wrong,
175
00:09:04,962 --> 00:09:06,171
but it wouldn't matter.
176
00:09:06,255 --> 00:09:10,759
I have my orders, and you don't have
the authority to tell me to stand down, so, again,
177
00:09:10,843 --> 00:09:12,553
with all due respect,
178
00:09:12,636 --> 00:09:13,720
ma'am,
179
00:09:14,221 --> 00:09:16,139
I have a mission to execute.
180
00:09:24,356 --> 00:09:26,692
Well, the specs check out.
181
00:09:27,359 --> 00:09:29,319
We've loaded the target information.
182
00:09:29,653 --> 00:09:30,737
They're ready.
183
00:09:31,113 --> 00:09:33,448
Yeah. It's good to go.
184
00:09:34,157 --> 00:09:35,784
This is a bad idea, isnt' it?
185
00:09:36,368 --> 00:09:38,120
We could tell them they're not ready...
186
00:09:38,245 --> 00:09:40,747
You know, there's a fault with
the guidance system or something.
187
00:09:40,789 --> 00:09:42,249
I thought about that.
188
00:09:42,416 --> 00:09:44,626
They're gonna have guys here
to contradict us pretty quickly.
189
00:09:44,710 --> 00:09:45,502
Yep.
190
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,546
But we're here alone.
191
00:09:47,671 --> 00:09:49,590
We could make them not ready.
192
00:09:50,465 --> 00:09:52,676
They're building an armada, Radek.
193
00:09:52,885 --> 00:09:55,387
I saw them.
They showed me the pictures.
194
00:09:55,971 --> 00:10:00,100
I'd feel pretty stupid if we break this thing, only
to have the Replicators show up and destroy the City.
195
00:10:00,142 --> 00:10:01,059
Yeah.
196
00:10:02,311 --> 00:10:03,645
Yeah, that would be bad.
197
00:10:07,149 --> 00:10:08,984
Tell the Colonel we're good to go.
198
00:10:17,910 --> 00:10:21,038
Colonel Ellis has asked me to join the mission.
199
00:10:21,622 --> 00:10:22,623
I know.
200
00:10:24,166 --> 00:10:25,584
I was gonna stay behind in a
201
00:10:25,626 --> 00:10:29,171
cloaked Jumper after they launch the warheads,
do some battle damage assessment.
202
00:10:29,213 --> 00:10:30,672
I know that too.
203
00:10:31,965 --> 00:10:33,008
He told me that you
204
00:10:33,050 --> 00:10:36,428
called Woolsey and General O'Neill
and tried to get the whole thing called off.
205
00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:37,679
Yes, I did.
206
00:10:38,096 --> 00:10:39,223
They didn't bite.
207
00:10:39,723 --> 00:10:40,974
They did not.
208
00:10:41,975 --> 00:10:45,896
Look, I know you think we're doing
the wrong thing here, but...
209
00:10:45,979 --> 00:10:47,022
John...
210
00:10:49,274 --> 00:10:50,484
Good luck.
211
00:11:03,330 --> 00:11:06,083
Alright. Horizon is online.
212
00:11:06,291 --> 00:11:11,213
The warheads are armed and
we are ready for final sequencing
213
00:11:11,380 --> 00:11:14,007
as soon as we drop out of hyperspace.
214
00:11:14,049 --> 00:11:14,883
Start now.
215
00:11:14,925 --> 00:11:16,468
Open the bomb bay doors.
216
00:11:16,510 --> 00:11:17,886
We're still in hyperspace.
217
00:11:17,970 --> 00:11:20,764
We're coming out of our jump uncomfortably
close to the planet.
218
00:11:20,806 --> 00:11:23,350
I don't wanna waste any time, just get it done.
219
00:11:24,101 --> 00:11:25,435
Well, you're the boss.
220
00:11:38,282 --> 00:11:40,492
Ready to launch on your command.
221
00:11:41,201 --> 00:11:42,953
You're sure about this, right?
222
00:11:43,537 --> 00:11:45,289
I mean, like, this is the right thing to do?
223
00:11:45,414 --> 00:11:48,083
Not the best time for that kind of talk, Doctor.
224
00:11:48,876 --> 00:11:50,335
Right. Sorry.
225
00:11:50,586 --> 00:11:52,671
Coming out of hyperspace in five,
226
00:11:52,713 --> 00:11:53,672
four,
227
00:11:53,714 --> 00:11:54,548
three,
228
00:11:54,590 --> 00:11:55,507
two,
229
00:11:55,549 --> 00:11:56,675
one.
230
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,180
Launch the Horizon.
231
00:13:24,304 --> 00:13:27,766
We have detonation confirmation
on all six warheads.
232
00:13:27,891 --> 00:13:30,018
Sheppard, you have a go for launch.
233
00:13:30,060 --> 00:13:31,353
Copy that.
234
00:13:35,649 --> 00:13:36,775
Clear.
235
00:13:36,984 --> 00:13:38,026
Jump away.
236
00:13:38,068 --> 00:13:39,653
Very well. Pick you up in an hour.
237
00:13:39,695 --> 00:13:41,113
Get us out of here.
238
00:13:54,334 --> 00:13:55,919
There is so much radiation interference,
239
00:13:55,961 --> 00:13:58,839
it's hard to get an accurate yield
calculation from the scan telemetry.
240
00:13:58,922 --> 00:14:02,134
Please, there is more than enough data.
It's not like we're trying to take out a person here.
241
00:14:02,176 --> 00:14:04,553
We're taking out massive chunks of a city.
242
00:14:04,595 --> 00:14:07,931
Someone just please tell me
if we hit our targets or not.
243
00:14:07,973 --> 00:14:10,058
Alright.
If this data is right,
244
00:14:10,517 --> 00:14:14,438
then all of your primaries and most of
your secondaries have been incinerated.
245
00:14:14,563 --> 00:14:15,564
Excellent.
246
00:14:23,113 --> 00:14:24,364
Welcome back.
247
00:14:24,573 --> 00:14:25,365
Thanks.
248
00:14:25,449 --> 00:14:27,117
I hear congratulations are in order.
249
00:14:27,159 --> 00:14:28,327
Yeah, you heard right.
250
00:14:28,619 --> 00:14:30,829
How was the mission?
Was it a success?
251
00:14:30,871 --> 00:14:32,664
We did get all the ships.
252
00:14:32,706 --> 00:14:34,291
I wish I could've been there to see it.
253
00:14:34,333 --> 00:14:38,170
Well, space battles are always a lot more
exciting on TV than they are in real life.
254
00:14:38,295 --> 00:14:39,379
Doctor Weir?
255
00:14:40,255 --> 00:14:41,924
You're gonna wanna see this.
256
00:14:42,674 --> 00:14:44,009
We've got a contact.
257
00:14:44,051 --> 00:14:46,803
- Just came out of hyperspace.
- Is it broadcasting I.F.F?
258
00:14:46,845 --> 00:14:48,388
- No, ma'am.
- Wraith?
259
00:14:48,472 --> 00:14:50,599
Nah, it's very small. I doubt it.
260
00:14:51,099 --> 00:14:52,351
Raise the shield.
261
00:14:52,518 --> 00:14:54,853
It's taking up a geosynchronous orbit above the City.
262
00:14:54,895 --> 00:14:56,188
What is it?
263
00:14:57,356 --> 00:14:59,566
We should have the Apollo check it out.
264
00:15:00,067 --> 00:15:02,986
Tell the Colonel he needs to get back to his ship.
265
00:15:21,964 --> 00:15:23,173
Right ahead of us, Sir.
266
00:15:23,215 --> 00:15:25,801
- Shields?
- Affirmative. Shields are up.
267
00:15:29,054 --> 00:15:31,306
OK, I've got a visual.
268
00:15:31,515 --> 00:15:33,976
Looks like a satellite of some sort.
269
00:15:43,694 --> 00:15:45,153
It's a Stargate!
270
00:15:45,445 --> 00:15:46,822
A Stargate?
271
00:15:46,864 --> 00:15:48,323
That's right.
272
00:15:48,740 --> 00:15:50,576
I thought you said it was a satellite.
273
00:15:50,617 --> 00:15:51,618
It's both.
274
00:15:51,660 --> 00:15:54,037
It's a satellite,
but in the middle there's a...
275
00:15:54,288 --> 00:15:55,539
Stargate.
276
00:15:55,581 --> 00:15:58,458
- What could be the purpose of that?
- I've no idea.
277
00:16:01,837 --> 00:16:04,631
- It just activated.
- The Gate?
278
00:16:09,261 --> 00:16:11,096
Get us away from it!
279
00:16:11,930 --> 00:16:14,141
Sir, the satellite is turning again.
280
00:16:21,648 --> 00:16:23,317
It's hitting the planet.
281
00:16:34,411 --> 00:16:36,038
It's a sustained beam.
282
00:16:36,079 --> 00:16:38,165
That is bad for a dozen different reasons.
283
00:16:46,215 --> 00:16:47,799
It's protected by a shield.
284
00:16:47,966 --> 00:16:49,676
Give me some options, McKay.
285
00:16:49,718 --> 00:16:51,803
The shield's taking its power from the beam.
286
00:16:51,970 --> 00:16:54,389
Look, I registered a slight drop
in output when you fired on it.
287
00:16:54,431 --> 00:16:56,099
Could I get a nuke past its shield?
288
00:16:56,141 --> 00:16:57,351
No, probably not.
289
00:16:57,392 --> 00:16:59,061
I'll get in the Chair and give it everything we've got.
290
00:16:59,102 --> 00:17:01,480
- Maybe that'll collapse the shield.
- I said "slight"...
291
00:17:01,522 --> 00:17:05,734
as in .002. Look, I doubt any amount of firepower
is gonna collapse it while that beam is active.
292
00:17:05,776 --> 00:17:08,862
- Then what do we do?
- We stand down and let me think, is what we do.
293
00:17:08,904 --> 00:17:11,073
Just give me five minutes to get my bearings.
I'll brief you.
294
00:17:11,114 --> 00:17:14,451
- McKay, it's shooting at us.
- Yes, and the shields are holding.
295
00:17:14,660 --> 00:17:16,078
Look, we've got plenty of time
just give me...
296
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,496
five minutes.
297
00:17:30,801 --> 00:17:32,094
What've you got?
298
00:17:32,344 --> 00:17:33,345
We're in trouble.
299
00:17:33,595 --> 00:17:36,849
It took you five minutes to figure that out?
You're slippin', buddy.
300
00:17:36,890 --> 00:17:39,601
Look, the satellite is basically
just a stripped-down ship.
301
00:17:39,643 --> 00:17:42,271
There's a hyperdrive engine,
a shield, and navigational systems.
302
00:17:42,312 --> 00:17:45,732
There's a small power source
that was designed to take it to its intended target
303
00:17:45,774 --> 00:17:47,818
and power the shield until the Gate can be dialled.
304
00:17:47,860 --> 00:17:50,988
But once a wormhole has been established
to whoever's on the dialling side,
305
00:17:51,029 --> 00:17:53,949
it fires a beam into their Stargate
and it comes out on our side,
306
00:17:53,991 --> 00:17:56,827
allowing them to fire on us
and to power the satellite.
307
00:17:56,952 --> 00:17:58,245
That's very clever.
308
00:17:58,287 --> 00:18:01,206
Yes. As long as they can keep the beam
powered from home,
309
00:18:01,248 --> 00:18:02,875
the weapon remains operational.
310
00:18:03,083 --> 00:18:06,628
And one fun added side bonus is that
because their Stargate is in such
311
00:18:06,670 --> 00:18:08,213
close proximity to our planet,
312
00:18:08,255 --> 00:18:10,299
we can't dial our Stargate.
We're stuck.
313
00:18:10,340 --> 00:18:11,842
Maybe that's a good thing.
314
00:18:12,509 --> 00:18:15,721
The beam'll turn off at the end
of the Gate's 38 minute cycle.
315
00:18:15,888 --> 00:18:19,683
If we dial our Gate at that precise moment,
we can neutralise theirs.
316
00:18:19,725 --> 00:18:23,187
What, and if it's not pulling power
from the beam any more,
317
00:18:23,228 --> 00:18:25,522
then we can collapse its shield and destroy it.
318
00:18:25,564 --> 00:18:26,648
Sure. The problem is,
319
00:18:26,690 --> 00:18:28,859
I don't think it's gonna shut down
in 38 minutes.
320
00:18:29,026 --> 00:18:33,655
But I thought it was physically impossible
for an artificial wormhole to stay open any longer.
321
00:18:33,697 --> 00:18:35,532
There is one exception to that rule.
322
00:18:35,574 --> 00:18:38,619
The SGC has encountered attacks
of this kind on their own Stargate
323
00:18:38,660 --> 00:18:41,872
and sadly we've discovered that if
you pump enough energy into it,
324
00:18:41,914 --> 00:18:44,041
a Stargate can remain active indefinitely.
325
00:18:44,082 --> 00:18:46,960
That would require an insane amount of power,
wouldn't it?
326
00:18:47,002 --> 00:18:50,047
Like a black hole
or an unlimited number of ZedPMs.
327
00:18:50,088 --> 00:18:52,591
So we can assume
the Replicators are behind this.
328
00:18:52,633 --> 00:18:53,592
Well, I hope so.
329
00:18:53,634 --> 00:18:54,635
You hope so?
330
00:18:54,676 --> 00:18:57,513
Well, otherwise, we've discovered yet
another super-powerful enemy.
331
00:18:57,596 --> 00:19:00,349
If it is a normal Stargate,
can we still contact the dialling planet?
332
00:19:00,599 --> 00:19:03,852
Well, I'll need to boost the signal considerably
to get through the interference, but...
333
00:19:04,144 --> 00:19:04,895
yes.
334
00:19:04,937 --> 00:19:07,064
- See what you can do, please.
- Right.
335
00:19:07,856 --> 00:19:09,608
Why would you wanna contact them?
336
00:19:09,733 --> 00:19:10,984
To negotiate.
337
00:19:11,235 --> 00:19:14,863
It's a waste of energy.
We need to figure out how to destroy it.
338
00:19:15,239 --> 00:19:18,283
I'd love to go twelve rounds here
about who's right and who's wrong,
339
00:19:18,325 --> 00:19:21,370
but at the end of the day
I'm responsible for the well-being of this City,
340
00:19:21,411 --> 00:19:24,122
and you don't have
the authority to tell me to stand down.
341
00:19:25,123 --> 00:19:26,750
So with all due respect...
342
00:19:26,875 --> 00:19:28,544
I think I'll place my call.
343
00:19:36,301 --> 00:19:39,680
Alright. I think I've got it.
344
00:19:39,930 --> 00:19:41,723
They're responding to the transmission.
345
00:19:43,809 --> 00:19:45,060
Oberoth!
346
00:19:45,269 --> 00:19:46,520
Doctor Weir.
347
00:19:46,562 --> 00:19:48,814
I must say I'm surprised to see you.
348
00:19:48,856 --> 00:19:53,151
Each of us exists within the collective
and can be replicated many times.
349
00:19:53,443 --> 00:19:55,529
You need to disable your weapon immediately.
350
00:19:55,779 --> 00:19:57,114
That is not possible.
351
00:19:57,155 --> 00:20:01,118
We had no choice but to attack you. You were
building warships. They need to be neutralised.
352
00:20:01,159 --> 00:20:03,203
And now, so do you.
353
00:20:03,453 --> 00:20:05,956
That assault was just the tip of the spear.
354
00:20:06,123 --> 00:20:08,417
We were hoping it would bring you to your senses.
355
00:20:08,625 --> 00:20:12,880
If you don't stop this aggression,
we will be forced to launch an all-out attack.
356
00:20:12,921 --> 00:20:13,922
Really?
357
00:20:14,381 --> 00:20:15,799
Why have you waited?
358
00:20:15,841 --> 00:20:19,469
The annihilation of your people is not our goal.
359
00:20:19,678 --> 00:20:22,181
Ideally, we would like a peace to exist between us,
360
00:20:22,222 --> 00:20:26,476
but we will not stand idly by while you build ships
and weapons that can be used to destroy us.
361
00:20:26,518 --> 00:20:27,603
Interesting.
362
00:20:27,769 --> 00:20:29,813
We feel the same way about you.
363
00:20:29,855 --> 00:20:34,610
Perhaps I should remind you every time we've met
in battle, our side has been clearly victorious.
364
00:20:34,651 --> 00:20:37,362
Elizabeth. They're attempting
to upload a virus on the comm bandwidth.
365
00:20:37,404 --> 00:20:39,865
- I've been able to stop it for now but...
- Shut it down.
366
00:20:43,285 --> 00:20:44,411
Well, that went well!
367
00:20:44,453 --> 00:20:47,331
Yeah. Oberoth always
been one of my favourites.
368
00:20:48,332 --> 00:20:51,668
What if the Gate doesn't shut down
at the end of its 38 minute cycle?
369
00:20:52,794 --> 00:20:56,507
Look, if they're able to maintain the energy
beam's intensity which I'm sure they will...
370
00:20:56,548 --> 00:20:58,550
And how long `til our shield fails?
371
00:20:59,301 --> 00:21:00,719
It's 29 hours.
372
00:21:20,072 --> 00:21:21,698
Well, it was worth a shot.
373
00:21:22,157 --> 00:21:24,618
Alright, we're gonna need another plan.
374
00:21:24,701 --> 00:21:26,119
Yeah, OK.
375
00:21:28,956 --> 00:21:31,166
Look, stop dialling. It's not working.
376
00:21:32,167 --> 00:21:33,377
Sir.
377
00:21:35,087 --> 00:21:36,713
You two give us a minute.
378
00:21:38,382 --> 00:21:40,050
What can I do for you, John?
379
00:21:42,636 --> 00:21:44,763
We need to head back to the Replicator planet.
380
00:21:44,805 --> 00:21:45,889
- We do, do we?
- Yeah.
381
00:21:45,931 --> 00:21:48,725
If this satellite weapon is powered by its homeworld,
382
00:21:48,767 --> 00:21:51,311
maybe we can neutralise it at the source.
383
00:21:51,436 --> 00:21:54,731
Well, the Apollo is in no condition
to get in a battle right now.
384
00:21:54,773 --> 00:21:56,859
That beam took a lot out of our shield.
385
00:21:56,900 --> 00:21:59,444
- No, we've gotta do something.
- We did do something.
386
00:21:59,486 --> 00:22:03,407
I'm sorry, Sir, but I can't help but think that
we're somehow responsible for this.
387
00:22:03,448 --> 00:22:05,284
Why, because Weir said so?
388
00:22:05,325 --> 00:22:06,535
No, Sir.
389
00:22:06,577 --> 00:22:07,995
John, listen to me.
390
00:22:08,036 --> 00:22:09,288
I...
391
00:22:10,497 --> 00:22:14,251
I've been over your record.
I know you have your detractors but personally
392
00:22:14,293 --> 00:22:16,753
I think you've done a hell of a job here.
393
00:22:16,795 --> 00:22:17,754
Thank you, Sir.
394
00:22:17,796 --> 00:22:20,924
You should be running Atlantis, not Doctor Weir.
395
00:22:20,966 --> 00:22:22,009
Well,
396
00:22:22,718 --> 00:22:24,595
then I'd be The Man, and...
397
00:22:24,803 --> 00:22:26,763
who would I have to rage against?
398
00:22:28,015 --> 00:22:29,057
Listen.
399
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:30,934
Because of us,
400
00:22:31,143 --> 00:22:36,231
Earth won't have to deal with an armada
of Replicator ships, so whatever happens here,
401
00:22:36,857 --> 00:22:38,859
we did the right thing today.
402
00:22:42,404 --> 00:22:43,655
I'm sorry.
403
00:22:44,031 --> 00:22:46,575
It's just...
they didn't even consult me.
404
00:22:46,617 --> 00:22:49,620
I imagine they felt the need for secrecy was great.
405
00:22:49,661 --> 00:22:53,457
I have the highest level of clearance humanly possible,
Teyla. No...
406
00:22:53,874 --> 00:22:55,250
they're trying to undermine me.
407
00:22:55,292 --> 00:22:59,922
Some of the military doesn't like that a civilian,
let alone a woman, is in charge of this City.
408
00:22:59,963 --> 00:23:02,216
Surely General O'Neill doesn't feel that way.
409
00:23:02,257 --> 00:23:05,135
And the I.O.A, they've backed you several times.
They believe in you.
410
00:23:05,177 --> 00:23:08,889
Yes, when things are going well,
but as soon as we run into a major problem,
411
00:23:08,931 --> 00:23:12,226
the military steps in and assumes absolute control.
412
00:23:12,267 --> 00:23:15,521
Certainly you don't wish
to coordinate military attacks.
413
00:23:15,562 --> 00:23:17,856
No, and that's not what I'm saying. Look,
414
00:23:17,898 --> 00:23:20,901
our current situation could have easily been avoided.
415
00:23:20,943 --> 00:23:22,152
I told them as much,
416
00:23:22,194 --> 00:23:23,362
but they put next to no weight
417
00:23:23,403 --> 00:23:26,823
behind my opinions regarding the safety
and protection of this City. Yes,
418
00:23:26,865 --> 00:23:30,160
the I.O.A. is happy to have me as lead administrator,
419
00:23:30,744 --> 00:23:33,288
but when it comes to the big decisions...
420
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,088
If we get out of this,
I think I may have to step down.
421
00:23:41,129 --> 00:23:42,464
Give it some time.
422
00:23:42,506 --> 00:23:45,801
- You need to step back and...
- We've got something.
423
00:23:55,185 --> 00:23:57,271
We were throwing some ideas back and forth,
well...
424
00:23:57,312 --> 00:23:59,231
he was throwing them forth
and I was throwing them back...
425
00:23:59,273 --> 00:24:02,609
and while he was droning on about some idea
that might have worked, it suddenly occurred to me:
426
00:24:02,651 --> 00:24:04,903
this City has encountered problems like this before,
427
00:24:04,945 --> 00:24:08,031
- so I...
- I don't need the history of your idea, Doctor.
428
00:24:08,073 --> 00:24:10,617
I'll let that be a surprise
when I read your autobiography.
429
00:24:10,659 --> 00:24:12,703
Just tell me the plan.
430
00:24:13,745 --> 00:24:15,205
We submerge it.
431
00:24:15,247 --> 00:24:16,248
I'm sorry?
432
00:24:16,290 --> 00:24:17,708
We submerge the City.
433
00:24:18,125 --> 00:24:20,878
I thought you said we couldn't submerge the City.
434
00:24:20,919 --> 00:24:24,923
That was two years ago before the Ancients came
and activated a number of new systems. See...
435
00:24:24,965 --> 00:24:26,633
The how is complicated,
436
00:24:26,675 --> 00:24:27,718
but I think it's possible.
437
00:24:27,759 --> 00:24:29,428
- Look, it's not a permanent solution...
- But...
438
00:24:29,469 --> 00:24:31,471
it'll buy us enough time `til we come up with one.
439
00:24:31,889 --> 00:24:33,056
Exactly.
440
00:24:33,098 --> 00:24:35,225
- How much time?
- Some. As much as a week.
441
00:24:35,267 --> 00:24:36,852
I don't understand.
Why?
442
00:24:36,894 --> 00:24:39,354
Ah, you see, the history part
would have made that a lot clearer.
443
00:24:39,396 --> 00:24:42,065
Had you been a little more patient,
I would have painted you a picture of...
444
00:24:42,107 --> 00:24:43,150
McKay.
445
00:24:44,818 --> 00:24:46,320
Ten thousand years ago
446
00:24:46,361 --> 00:24:47,988
when the Ancients were under siege from the Wraith,
447
00:24:48,030 --> 00:24:49,198
they sank the City
448
00:24:49,239 --> 00:24:52,075
in order to dissipate
the Wraiths' energy blasts in the water.
449
00:24:52,117 --> 00:24:52,993
This way,
450
00:24:53,035 --> 00:24:55,746
the shield was able to hold far longer
than it ever could on the surface.
451
00:24:55,787 --> 00:24:58,040
So, now, we submerge the City.
452
00:24:58,081 --> 00:25:01,835
The water attenuates the satellite's beam intensity,
buys us some more shield time.
453
00:25:01,877 --> 00:25:04,630
We cannot predict how much
the Replicators' beam will be attenuated.
454
00:25:04,671 --> 00:25:06,340
It might not buy us any time at all.
455
00:25:06,381 --> 00:25:08,967
There's no way to know for sure, yes,
but it's not a reason not to try.
456
00:25:09,009 --> 00:25:10,135
Alright, get it done.
457
00:25:10,177 --> 00:25:11,929
Yeah, I don't think that's your call.
458
00:25:14,431 --> 00:25:15,933
Worst case scenario?
459
00:25:15,974 --> 00:25:17,768
We lose some power from the ZPM?
460
00:25:17,809 --> 00:25:19,978
Oh, no, worst case scenario is that
we've both read the numbers wrong,
461
00:25:20,020 --> 00:25:22,481
we use up a ton of power and
the City doesn't submerge at all.
462
00:25:22,523 --> 00:25:24,608
Look, as much as I hate to say it,
463
00:25:24,650 --> 00:25:25,943
Zelenka's not infallible.
464
00:25:28,612 --> 00:25:30,072
Still, I agree.
465
00:25:30,405 --> 00:25:31,865
It's worth the risk.
466
00:25:33,075 --> 00:25:36,119
Alright. The City has an automatic
submersion subroutine already in the system.
467
00:25:36,161 --> 00:25:39,373
I'll need it to tweak it a bit
to work with one ZedPM, and...
468
00:25:39,414 --> 00:25:42,543
disable some safety protocols.
Give me an hour.
469
00:25:59,476 --> 00:26:01,061
- It's been an hour.
- We're ready.
470
00:26:01,103 --> 00:26:03,605
- No, you've got to do the...
- Oh, just...
471
00:26:06,441 --> 00:26:07,317
We are...
472
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:08,318
ready.
473
00:26:08,610 --> 00:26:09,695
Good.
474
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:11,780
Give me City-wide.
475
00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:16,535
Attention all personnel.
476
00:26:16,577 --> 00:26:19,413
We are about to attempt to submerge the City.
477
00:26:19,454 --> 00:26:22,207
From what I understand, it could get a little bumpy,
478
00:26:22,541 --> 00:26:25,294
so this is your last chance to secure equipment
479
00:26:25,377 --> 00:26:27,796
and get to the designated safe areas.
480
00:26:28,672 --> 00:26:30,299
We've come full circle, eh?
481
00:26:31,466 --> 00:26:32,301
Yeah.
482
00:26:32,426 --> 00:26:33,719
Feels that way.
483
00:26:35,137 --> 00:26:35,971
OK.
484
00:26:37,222 --> 00:26:38,557
Take us down.
485
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,434
Aye, aye, Captain.
486
00:26:40,642 --> 00:26:41,685
Shall we?
487
00:27:44,998 --> 00:27:45,832
That's it.
488
00:27:45,874 --> 00:27:46,875
We're down.
489
00:27:47,501 --> 00:27:51,213
- The beam still looks pretty serious, Rodney.
- Yeah, I know. Just give me a second to...
490
00:27:51,672 --> 00:27:52,714
Crap!
491
00:27:52,923 --> 00:27:53,966
I told you.
492
00:27:54,174 --> 00:27:57,094
- Thank you, Radek. Very helpful.
- What is it?
493
00:27:57,177 --> 00:28:00,097
The beam is breaking through the water
much more efficiently than we thought.
494
00:28:00,138 --> 00:28:01,473
The water has no effect?
495
00:28:01,515 --> 00:28:04,184
It's having an effect but just nowhere
near what we wanted to. Look,
496
00:28:04,226 --> 00:28:07,521
that plan took us three hours to execute
and bought us an additional...
497
00:28:07,938 --> 00:28:09,022
ten hours.
498
00:28:09,064 --> 00:28:10,023
Nine.
499
00:28:11,066 --> 00:28:11,900
Nine.
500
00:28:13,569 --> 00:28:14,611
OK.
501
00:28:14,945 --> 00:28:16,488
What's the plan?
502
00:28:20,033 --> 00:28:21,493
That was the plan.
503
00:28:32,754 --> 00:28:34,840
I need to learn some science.
504
00:28:35,257 --> 00:28:36,508
What for?
505
00:28:37,551 --> 00:28:40,470
I'm not all that useful in situations like these.
506
00:28:40,888 --> 00:28:43,599
If we get into a fight,
or we need to break out of somewhere,
507
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:44,892
you know, kill someone...
508
00:28:44,975 --> 00:28:46,310
I'm your man.
509
00:28:47,060 --> 00:28:49,646
But a laser attacking the City's shield...
510
00:28:50,272 --> 00:28:51,899
I don't know where to chip in.
511
00:28:51,940 --> 00:28:54,026
Well, that's why we're a team, like
512
00:28:54,067 --> 00:28:55,694
the Fantastic Four.
513
00:28:59,031 --> 00:29:02,784
It's a comic book
where superheroes fight crime and stuff.
514
00:29:03,827 --> 00:29:08,832
See, I'd be Mr Fantastic. Ronon would be The Thing.
McKay would be the Human Torch...
515
00:29:08,874 --> 00:29:10,709
you'd be the Invisible Woman.
516
00:29:11,001 --> 00:29:12,586
I am not invisible.
517
00:29:13,962 --> 00:29:14,838
No.
518
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,965
No, and McKay's not a human torch.
519
00:29:17,007 --> 00:29:19,468
Well, how come you get to be Mr Fantastic?
520
00:29:19,510 --> 00:29:22,012
Because he was the leader and I'm the...
521
00:29:23,764 --> 00:29:25,682
I'm just saying that
522
00:29:25,724 --> 00:29:30,562
they were a cool team and we're a cool team
and they use their strengths to, you know...
523
00:29:33,982 --> 00:29:36,693
I'm gonna go check on McKay.
524
00:29:46,703 --> 00:29:48,247
Shouldn't you guys be bickering or something?
525
00:29:48,288 --> 00:29:51,041
We've got nothing to bicker about.
He's run out of bad ideas...
526
00:29:51,083 --> 00:29:51,875
finally.
527
00:29:51,917 --> 00:29:54,461
If we survive this,
I'm putting in for a transfer.
528
00:29:54,503 --> 00:29:57,339
Please. We both know that
you've done your best work under me.
529
00:29:57,381 --> 00:29:58,173
Under you?
530
00:29:58,215 --> 00:29:59,550
I'm my own department head, you know.
531
00:29:59,591 --> 00:30:02,135
- Please! We both know that department is a joke.
- What?
532
00:30:02,177 --> 00:30:05,180
Why don't you two guys just make out
and get it over with?
533
00:30:05,597 --> 00:30:06,640
I mean, we have, what?
534
00:30:06,682 --> 00:30:10,894
Under one day to figure out how not
to get destroyed by this satellite thing,
535
00:30:10,936 --> 00:30:13,730
and you guys are arguing about who works for who.
536
00:30:13,772 --> 00:30:15,899
Every possible scenario ends in a failure.
537
00:30:15,941 --> 00:30:20,112
There is nowhere on the face of this
planet that that thing cannot kill us.
538
00:30:23,740 --> 00:30:24,658
You don't think...?
539
00:30:24,783 --> 00:30:25,659
No.
540
00:30:25,784 --> 00:30:27,077
Old girl too banged up?
541
00:30:27,119 --> 00:30:30,289
No, the Replicators fixed all the damage we did
with the drones. We just don't have the power.
542
00:30:30,330 --> 00:30:32,583
- Yeah, but ideally...
- It may be the only way.
543
00:30:32,624 --> 00:30:33,500
What?
544
00:30:34,334 --> 00:30:35,961
The drilling platform.
545
00:30:36,044 --> 00:30:38,005
You guys have it operational down there, right?
546
00:30:38,046 --> 00:30:39,298
That's close enough, but
547
00:30:39,339 --> 00:30:40,299
we couldn't bring it with us.
548
00:30:40,340 --> 00:30:42,968
- Bring it where?
- We don't need to. We just need a boost.
549
00:30:43,010 --> 00:30:44,469
You might be onto something here.
550
00:30:44,511 --> 00:30:45,012
Hey!
551
00:30:45,053 --> 00:30:45,929
What's your idea?
552
00:30:45,971 --> 00:30:46,763
Hey!
553
00:30:49,850 --> 00:30:52,686
Well, luckily the umbilical's already in place.
554
00:30:52,728 --> 00:30:56,273
Yes, I know. Look, are you capable of
outputting the power we need or not?
555
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,400
We just started drilling into the crust.
556
00:30:58,442 --> 00:31:00,110
I can get you nine percent of the way there.
557
00:31:00,152 --> 00:31:01,403
There goes that plan.
558
00:31:01,695 --> 00:31:03,447
Can't the ZPM make up the difference?
559
00:31:03,488 --> 00:31:06,658
No. The ZedPM's a little busy
powering the shield at max.
560
00:31:08,452 --> 00:31:09,828
What if it didn't have to?
561
00:31:10,662 --> 00:31:11,079
What?
562
00:31:11,121 --> 00:31:14,750
What if we could take the
strain off the shield momentarily?
563
00:31:15,417 --> 00:31:17,544
Well, we'd need about a minute.
Why? What do you have in mind?
564
00:31:18,879 --> 00:31:21,507
Lantea's moon has some sizeable satellites itself.
565
00:31:21,548 --> 00:31:25,302
Asteroid-like chunks we think are left over
from a second moon that no longer exists.
566
00:31:25,344 --> 00:31:29,014
I'd like you to beam up Lorne and
get a flight of F-302s close enough
567
00:31:29,389 --> 00:31:30,516
to nudge one our way.
568
00:31:30,557 --> 00:31:33,268
You wanna bring an asteroid towards us?
569
00:31:33,936 --> 00:31:34,978
Is that wise?
570
00:31:35,020 --> 00:31:36,438
Well, today it is.
571
00:31:45,405 --> 00:31:46,532
Alright, guys.
572
00:31:46,573 --> 00:31:48,909
We need to get close enough to clamp on to it.
573
00:31:48,951 --> 00:31:52,162
Get enough of us drilled in,
we can fly it like a ship...
574
00:31:52,204 --> 00:31:53,622
a really slow ship.
575
00:31:53,664 --> 00:31:57,918
It's probably gonna be a real pain in the
ass to steer, but a ship nonetheless.
576
00:32:09,805 --> 00:32:10,848
OK...
577
00:32:11,557 --> 00:32:13,851
let's take this big gal for a stroll.
578
00:32:13,892 --> 00:32:17,688
Flights Three and Four,
begin your burn. Full thrust.
579
00:32:28,448 --> 00:32:29,908
Son of a bitch!
580
00:32:30,075 --> 00:32:32,369
We might be able to pull this off after all!
581
00:32:32,411 --> 00:32:34,705
Flights One and Two, begin your burn.
582
00:32:34,746 --> 00:32:35,789
It's working?
583
00:32:35,831 --> 00:32:38,458
It's slow going, but, yes,
they're bringing it towards the planet.
584
00:32:38,500 --> 00:32:40,836
They should be able to get
here before our cut-off time.
585
00:32:41,962 --> 00:32:45,924
- So we can actually do this?
- I think so, yes.
586
00:32:47,259 --> 00:32:50,637
OK, time to tell people.
Patch me into the P.A, please.
587
00:32:53,807 --> 00:32:55,517
May I have your attention?
588
00:32:56,268 --> 00:33:00,022
As you all know, we have found
ourselves in a spot of trouble.
589
00:33:00,272 --> 00:33:04,109
The reality is that no matter where
we try to hide on this planet,
590
00:33:04,151 --> 00:33:07,404
the Replicator satellite will be able to track us.
591
00:33:07,738 --> 00:33:11,158
Therefore, Doctor McKay
and Colonel Sheppard have
592
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:16,246
come up with a rather ingenious way for us
to escape the satellite's range altogether.
593
00:33:17,122 --> 00:33:18,582
In the next few hours...
594
00:33:18,665 --> 00:33:22,503
we will fire the City's stardrive
and head into space.
595
00:33:23,128 --> 00:33:25,964
Atlantis is leaving this planet.
596
00:33:36,141 --> 00:33:37,100
May I come in?
597
00:33:37,142 --> 00:33:38,435
Of course.
598
00:33:39,269 --> 00:33:42,314
All non-essential personnel
have been beamed to the Apollo.
599
00:33:42,356 --> 00:33:43,607
Good. Good.
600
00:33:44,107 --> 00:33:46,401
Has Doctor McKay located your new home yet?
601
00:33:46,443 --> 00:33:48,487
Yes. M12-578.
602
00:33:48,529 --> 00:33:52,241
It's the closest non-populated
habitable planet with a large ocean.
603
00:33:52,282 --> 00:33:54,868
He's a bit nervous about trying
to land on solid ground.
604
00:33:54,910 --> 00:33:56,828
I can understand that.
605
00:33:59,915 --> 00:34:02,209
Listen, I know you don't like me very much...
606
00:34:02,251 --> 00:34:03,836
- Colonel, that's nei...
- It's OK.
607
00:34:03,877 --> 00:34:07,214
To be honest, I'm not that crazy about you either.
608
00:34:09,049 --> 00:34:10,008
OK!
609
00:34:10,592 --> 00:34:15,097
But if I've crossed the line here or
there in regards to your command,
610
00:34:15,138 --> 00:34:18,141
I apologise. I'm used to making the calls.
611
00:34:18,892 --> 00:34:22,145
But I don't want you to think
I don't respect you. I do, Doctor.
612
00:34:22,312 --> 00:34:23,438
Thank you.
613
00:34:23,522 --> 00:34:25,232
I appreciate that.
614
00:34:26,108 --> 00:34:29,111
I wish the rest of the military felt the same way.
615
00:34:29,403 --> 00:34:31,697
Well, I can't speak to that.
616
00:34:31,738 --> 00:34:35,075
I do know General O'Neill is awfully fond of you.
617
00:34:37,661 --> 00:34:39,621
I'd better be heading out.
618
00:34:41,081 --> 00:34:42,416
Good luck.
619
00:34:42,541 --> 00:34:43,625
Thanks.
620
00:34:43,834 --> 00:34:45,586
We're gonna need it.
621
00:34:53,177 --> 00:34:57,181
Alright. Zelenka is doing a final pass over
all the coding we've done, but...
622
00:34:57,222 --> 00:34:58,891
so far it's looking good.
623
00:34:58,932 --> 00:35:03,103
The underwater drilling platform's power
output has been dialled up as high as it'll go,
624
00:35:03,145 --> 00:35:05,814
and the crew down there have
been beamed up to the Apollo.
625
00:35:05,856 --> 00:35:07,357
We're gonna wreck that thing, aren't we?
626
00:35:07,399 --> 00:35:09,902
What, the drilling platform?
Oh, hell, yes!
627
00:35:09,943 --> 00:35:10,652
But...
628
00:35:10,694 --> 00:35:13,113
30% of our total power requirements
629
00:35:13,155 --> 00:35:15,782
are gonna be consumed
in the first ten seconds of flight.
630
00:35:15,824 --> 00:35:19,620
The station will provide us with that power
right up until we snap the umbilical,
631
00:35:19,661 --> 00:35:21,872
at which point we switch over to the ZedPM.
632
00:35:21,914 --> 00:35:25,792
Now, if we can interrupt the satellite's beam...
633
00:35:25,834 --> 00:35:28,045
which is greatly taxing our power levels...
634
00:35:28,086 --> 00:35:32,299
we should be able to squeeze out just
enough power to actually do this thing.
635
00:35:32,674 --> 00:35:33,634
How's Lorne doin'?
636
00:35:33,675 --> 00:35:36,762
He's making good time.
He should be here in the next 20 minutes.
637
00:35:39,014 --> 00:35:40,974
Well, I guess it's showtime.
638
00:35:41,725 --> 00:35:43,268
You sure you can do this?
639
00:35:43,310 --> 00:35:44,686
Fly the City?
640
00:35:45,354 --> 00:35:47,648
What else could I possibly be talking about?
641
00:35:47,689 --> 00:35:50,359
I flew a V22 Osprey once.
642
00:35:50,692 --> 00:35:52,110
Was it as big as a city?
643
00:35:52,152 --> 00:35:54,196
Well, you had to use your hands
and feet with that one.
644
00:35:54,238 --> 00:35:56,323
This one, you just have to sit down and think...
645
00:35:56,657 --> 00:35:57,658
"Fly".
646
00:35:57,699 --> 00:36:01,036
OK, why don't you just get in the Chair
and start your pre-flight.
647
00:36:05,832 --> 00:36:07,209
Oh, I'm gonna...
648
00:36:07,251 --> 00:36:08,335
head up to the Control Room,
649
00:36:08,418 --> 00:36:11,296
and Zelenka will monitor power output
from the ZedPM Room.
650
00:36:11,547 --> 00:36:12,756
And...
651
00:36:13,841 --> 00:36:15,050
good luck.
652
00:36:15,551 --> 00:36:16,593
You too.
653
00:36:24,476 --> 00:36:26,812
Doctor McKay, can you read me?
654
00:36:27,020 --> 00:36:29,064
Five by five.
Lorne, you in position?
655
00:36:29,106 --> 00:36:31,525
We're getting close. You about ready?
656
00:36:31,567 --> 00:36:33,485
Zelenka, I need a Go or No Go.
657
00:36:33,527 --> 00:36:35,654
We're Go.
All non-essential systems have been shut down.
658
00:36:35,696 --> 00:36:37,698
- We're in the green.
- Are you ready, Sheppard?
659
00:36:37,739 --> 00:36:39,366
Ready as I'll ever be.
660
00:36:39,408 --> 00:36:42,411
OK, Major, make sure she's moving
as slow as possible.
661
00:36:42,452 --> 00:36:45,038
Are you sure we shouldn't just lob
this thing at the satellite?
662
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,166
No, they'd easily be able to navigate back
into position. This is still our best bet.
663
00:36:48,208 --> 00:36:49,668
Copy that.
664
00:36:58,468 --> 00:37:00,721
Package is away and on course.
665
00:37:00,971 --> 00:37:02,890
We're heading back to the Apollo.
666
00:37:03,557 --> 00:37:04,808
Good luck.
667
00:37:05,934 --> 00:37:09,646
OK, calculating travel time based on current speed.
668
00:37:10,272 --> 00:37:11,565
That's it. We're good.
669
00:37:14,568 --> 00:37:15,944
Here goes nothing.
670
00:37:44,473 --> 00:37:46,308
Asteroid is entering the beam.
671
00:38:11,834 --> 00:38:14,378
We're on the surface.
Fire the stardrive.
672
00:38:29,434 --> 00:38:31,103
We're not flying high enough.
673
00:38:31,144 --> 00:38:32,646
It's stalling out!
674
00:38:34,439 --> 00:38:35,691
It's not working.
675
00:38:36,149 --> 00:38:37,484
What are you doing wrong?
676
00:38:37,526 --> 00:38:40,362
Sure, blame me.
We don't have enough power.
677
00:38:40,404 --> 00:38:41,822
Oh, sure, blame me!
678
00:38:41,989 --> 00:38:45,158
It's not working.
What other reasons could there be?
679
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,244
I have no more power to give you!
680
00:38:47,286 --> 00:38:48,453
Shut it off.
681
00:38:48,495 --> 00:38:49,121
What?
682
00:38:49,329 --> 00:38:50,455
Lower the shield.
683
00:38:50,831 --> 00:38:54,376
We're about to go into space!
If you plan on breathing, we're gonna need the shield.
684
00:38:54,543 --> 00:38:56,378
Turn it back on at 18,000 feet.
685
00:38:56,420 --> 00:38:58,922
We just need the boost to get started, no?
686
00:38:59,214 --> 00:39:00,424
That might work.
687
00:39:10,184 --> 00:39:12,227
OK, I did it.
Give it all you've got.
688
00:39:29,620 --> 00:39:30,662
That's it!
689
00:39:32,164 --> 00:39:33,248
We're flying!
690
00:39:54,895 --> 00:39:57,231
That's it.
Time's up. Raising the shield.
691
00:40:21,505 --> 00:40:23,841
Taking us into hyperspace.
692
00:40:34,685 --> 00:40:35,936
We did it!
693
00:40:39,606 --> 00:40:41,275
McKay!
Elizabeth!
694
00:40:41,316 --> 00:40:43,944
I need a medical team to the Control Room, stat!
695
00:40:43,986 --> 00:40:45,612
Multiple injuries!
696
00:41:02,462 --> 00:41:03,755
Keller, what happened?
697
00:41:03,881 --> 00:41:06,341
Apparently the beam grazed
the Tower and blew out the...
698
00:41:06,383 --> 00:41:06,967
Adams,
699
00:41:07,009 --> 00:41:09,595
that guy just has a cut.
Tell him to put pressure on it and move on.
700
00:41:09,636 --> 00:41:11,388
There's a lot of people worse off upstairs.
701
00:41:11,430 --> 00:41:12,347
Elizabeth?
702
00:41:12,389 --> 00:41:14,474
- Is she gonna be OK?
- I don't know yet.
703
00:41:14,516 --> 00:41:17,519
She took quite a fall and her pupils are sluggish.
I'm gonna have to get her under a scanner.
704
00:41:17,561 --> 00:41:18,770
I'll know more in a bit.
705
00:41:26,820 --> 00:41:27,905
Oh, God.
706
00:41:28,530 --> 00:41:29,531
Are you alright?
707
00:41:29,573 --> 00:41:32,117
- Yeah, I've had worse.
- How come no-one's helping you?
708
00:41:32,159 --> 00:41:34,578
I told them I didn't need any help.
Other people need more.
709
00:41:34,620 --> 00:41:36,788
I doubt that.
Get this man to the Infirmary.
710
00:41:36,830 --> 00:41:37,748
Yes, Sir.
711
00:41:38,498 --> 00:41:39,791
You guys alright?
712
00:41:39,833 --> 00:41:41,376
All things considered.
713
00:41:42,211 --> 00:41:43,253
What happened?
714
00:41:43,295 --> 00:41:46,298
The beam grazed the side of the Tower
before the shield was completely closed.
715
00:41:46,465 --> 00:41:47,424
Damage?
716
00:41:47,591 --> 00:41:49,009
Minimal...
I think.
717
00:41:49,051 --> 00:41:52,179
Look, I was able to get the shield up fairly quickly.
It took the brunt of the blow.
718
00:41:52,971 --> 00:41:54,181
Oh, what now?
719
00:41:55,933 --> 00:41:57,017
What is happening?
720
00:41:59,978 --> 00:42:01,647
We just dropped out of hyperspace.
721
00:42:01,688 --> 00:42:04,024
Have we already reached M12-578?
722
00:42:04,066 --> 00:42:06,818
No. There's no way.
It should have taken at least another few hours.
723
00:42:06,902 --> 00:42:08,695
- The hyperdrive just shut down.
- Why?
724
00:42:08,779 --> 00:42:10,322
- I don't know.
- Get it back up.
725
00:42:10,364 --> 00:42:14,535
I just said I don't know what's wrong.
I can't get it back up if I don't know what happened.
726
00:42:14,576 --> 00:42:16,620
- Where are we?
- In the middle of nowhere.
727
00:42:16,662 --> 00:42:19,414
There's no planets, no moons, no Stargates.
728
00:42:19,456 --> 00:42:21,250
How much power do we have?
729
00:42:23,836 --> 00:42:25,003
This can't be right.
730
00:42:25,045 --> 00:42:26,338
How much?
731
00:42:27,339 --> 00:42:30,551
At current consumption,
we've got twenty-four hours of power left.
732
00:42:30,592 --> 00:42:32,678
After that, there's no shield.
No shield, no atmosphere.
733
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,888
- No atmosphere, we're...
- Can we use the Stargate?
734
00:42:35,222 --> 00:42:38,976
In order to dial a Gate, it needs to be calibrated
to a specific location. We are lost.
735
00:42:39,017 --> 00:42:42,896
Look, we dropped out of hyperspace way too soon.
I have no idea where we are.
736
00:42:51,989 --> 00:42:55,617
...
