1 00:00:12,612 --> 00:00:14,512 Funny, he doesn't look excited. 2 00:00:14,614 --> 00:00:17,947 Trust me. Like a kid who was up all night on Christmas Eve. 3 00:00:18,051 --> 00:00:22,181 I thought we imposed a moratorium on cultural references I wouldn't understand. 4 00:00:22,288 --> 00:00:24,279 So excited, he was up all night. 5 00:00:24,391 --> 00:00:28,589 It's only because he was worried sick about the success of the mission. 6 00:00:28,695 --> 00:00:33,462 Get up, sunshine. Time to see what old Santa brung you. 7 00:00:33,566 --> 00:00:34,931 Morning. 8 00:00:36,669 --> 00:00:39,229 - What? - We just came out of hyperspace. 9 00:00:39,339 --> 00:00:41,773 I'm guessing you don't want to miss the landing. 10 00:00:41,875 --> 00:00:43,103 What? What time is it? 11 00:00:43,209 --> 00:00:44,233 This is the Captain. 12 00:00:44,344 --> 00:00:47,336 All hands take stations for atmospheric entry. 13 00:00:48,882 --> 00:00:50,509 Why didn't you tell me? 14 00:00:52,919 --> 00:00:56,082 Okay. He's a little excited. 15 00:00:59,626 --> 00:01:03,460 Odyssey, this is Flight. You are clear for landing. 16 00:01:03,563 --> 00:01:05,963 Understood, Flight. We have the beacon. 17 00:01:08,935 --> 00:01:10,197 Hey, you're just in time. 18 00:01:10,303 --> 00:01:13,136 Are you kidding? I wouldn't miss this for the world. 19 00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:14,968 The number of times I tried to get here? 20 00:01:15,075 --> 00:01:17,475 Only two of those times were my fault. 21 00:01:29,556 --> 00:01:30,921 It is beautiful. 22 00:01:31,024 --> 00:01:32,958 Odyssey, this is Weir. 23 00:01:33,059 --> 00:01:35,527 I wanted to be the first to say welcome to Atlantis. 24 00:01:35,628 --> 00:01:39,655 Thank you, Doctor. We're getting a good look at your fair city even as we approach. 25 00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:41,165 Feel free to take a moment, 26 00:01:41,267 --> 00:01:43,735 but Stargate Command wants you to get started on your mission 27 00:01:43,837 --> 00:01:47,295 as soon as you've off-loaded our supplies. Weir out. 28 00:01:50,844 --> 00:01:53,540 - What's wrong? - Oh, nothing. 29 00:01:53,646 --> 00:01:55,944 I guess I just wish my first trip to Atlantis 30 00:01:56,049 --> 00:01:59,109 wasn't under such desperate circumstances. 31 00:01:59,219 --> 00:02:00,846 It's just another mission, Jackson. 32 00:02:00,954 --> 00:02:03,855 One upon which the fate of the entire galaxy hangs in the balance. 33 00:02:03,957 --> 00:02:06,255 And he goes on those all the time. 34 00:02:06,359 --> 00:02:07,883 Vala's not wrong. 35 00:02:07,994 --> 00:02:10,986 If we don't succeed, and the Ori manage to get more ships through that supergate... 36 00:02:11,097 --> 00:02:14,225 Well, like the lady said, let's all just take a moment. 37 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,733 Okay, moment's over. Let's go save the galaxy. 38 00:03:44,057 --> 00:03:47,026 The Ori supergate has been inactive since they sent their first wave, 39 00:03:47,126 --> 00:03:48,150 but it's been reported 40 00:03:48,261 --> 00:03:50,627 that the Priors are promising reinforcements for their armies, 41 00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:53,096 which are on their way and should be here soon. 42 00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:55,099 Now, we can only assume that that means more ships, 43 00:03:55,201 --> 00:03:57,601 and these four are already more than we can handle. 44 00:03:57,704 --> 00:04:00,264 - We have to act now. - Well, why don't you try dialing out? 45 00:04:00,373 --> 00:04:02,102 I mean, if it's powered by a black hole, 46 00:04:02,208 --> 00:04:04,642 you should be able to keep the thing up and running almost indefinitely. 47 00:04:04,744 --> 00:04:07,872 I'm sure they thought of that before they came all this way, Rodney. 48 00:04:07,981 --> 00:04:11,473 It was what we were attempting to do when the Ori fleet first came through. 49 00:04:11,584 --> 00:04:14,781 Now, the Asgard have since tried again, but for some reason they can't dial out. 50 00:04:14,887 --> 00:04:18,050 - But you might be able to dial in? - Well, that's the problem. 51 00:04:18,157 --> 00:04:21,183 It was designed to dial in from another galaxy. 52 00:04:21,294 --> 00:04:23,091 Like one of the stargates in the Pegasus? 53 00:04:23,196 --> 00:04:26,495 No, no, no. The diameter of a stargate is not arbitrary. 54 00:04:26,599 --> 00:04:28,624 There is a specific correlation between the energy required 55 00:04:28,735 --> 00:04:31,568 - to create a stable wormhole... - And the size of the gate. I know that. 56 00:04:31,671 --> 00:04:33,866 And it's exponentially proportional to size, 57 00:04:33,973 --> 00:04:37,340 which means the energy required to create a connection with a supergate 58 00:04:37,443 --> 00:04:39,843 would far exceed that of an ordinary gate. 59 00:04:39,946 --> 00:04:42,915 It'd be like putting together a Saint Bernard and a Chihuahua. 60 00:04:43,016 --> 00:04:46,179 And the problem with that would be... 61 00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:48,186 Well, obviously it's a question of... 62 00:04:51,257 --> 00:04:55,091 Oh, I see. You're mocking me, aren't you? 63 00:04:55,194 --> 00:04:58,527 What? No. I'm not from Earth. 64 00:04:58,631 --> 00:05:00,496 I honestly didn't get the reference. 65 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,727 Oh. Oh, well, they're both dogs... 66 00:05:02,835 --> 00:05:04,166 McKay. 67 00:05:04,270 --> 00:05:07,262 Colonel Carter, please continue. 68 00:05:07,373 --> 00:05:09,967 If he speaks again, I'll shoot him. 69 00:05:10,076 --> 00:05:11,100 But to answer your question, 70 00:05:11,210 --> 00:05:13,007 we are introducing another stargate into the equation. 71 00:05:13,112 --> 00:05:15,205 Teal'c should have it in position right now. 72 00:05:15,315 --> 00:05:18,512 If we can make a connection between that gate and one from the Pegasus Galaxy... 73 00:05:18,618 --> 00:05:20,210 You're going to try and make a jump. Don't shoot me. 74 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,550 You know I can't help myself. 75 00:05:22,655 --> 00:05:24,316 Jump? Can you do that? 76 00:05:24,424 --> 00:05:28,451 One of Colonel Carter's more brilliant planet-saving ideas from a few years back. 77 00:05:28,561 --> 00:05:30,927 Stargate Command inadvertently dialed the gate address of a planet 78 00:05:31,030 --> 00:05:33,498 that was on a collision course with a black hole. 79 00:05:33,599 --> 00:05:35,624 P3W-451, if memory serves. 80 00:05:35,868 --> 00:05:38,632 The only way to disconnect before Cheyenne Mountain got swallowed up 81 00:05:38,738 --> 00:05:41,673 was to set off a shaped charge right at the event horizon. 82 00:05:41,774 --> 00:05:44,572 Now, that energy spike forced our outgoing wormhole 83 00:05:44,677 --> 00:05:47,373 to jump to another stargate that was relatively close by. 84 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,347 And if we can do it again, we can tie up the Ori supergate indefinitely. 85 00:05:50,450 --> 00:05:52,418 Even if you were able to establish an initial connection... 86 00:05:52,518 --> 00:05:54,577 - We need a nuke. We know. - And a dialing crystal capable of... 87 00:05:54,687 --> 00:05:55,676 Already have one. 88 00:05:55,788 --> 00:05:57,983 And if you want to keep the connection open for more than 38 minutes, 89 00:05:58,091 --> 00:06:00,321 you'll need to find a black hole in the Pegasus Galaxy. 90 00:06:00,426 --> 00:06:03,418 This is not our first barbecue, Dr. McKay. 91 00:06:03,529 --> 00:06:06,430 I am just saying, the yield calculations can be extremely tricky, 92 00:06:06,532 --> 00:06:09,296 if not borderline impossible. 93 00:06:09,402 --> 00:06:10,596 You may need me. 94 00:06:12,038 --> 00:06:13,471 Colonel Carter said as much. 95 00:06:14,707 --> 00:06:16,504 We weren't going to tell him that. 96 00:06:18,578 --> 00:06:22,639 John, do you think you could spare Rodney from your team? 97 00:06:22,749 --> 00:06:24,979 Hell, you can keep him. 98 00:06:26,052 --> 00:06:27,246 Nice. 99 00:06:31,758 --> 00:06:35,819 I got to tell you, Sheppard, it's a nice place you got here. 100 00:06:35,928 --> 00:06:38,021 Thanks.
