Previously on Stargate Atlantis.
It can't be a storm.
It stretches across the whole horizon.
This must cover 20 percent of the planet.
If you want everyone to live, you gate them off world.
Within the next hour, there will be less than 10 people on atlantis.
We cannot afford to pass up this opportunity.
What is the one thing keeping us from having a shield?
Electricity.
Atlantis is designed to withstand substantial lightning strikes.
There are lightning rods all over the city.
If we disable the grounding stations,
that energy could conceivably be used
to charge up the shield generators.
We decided to wait out the storm in the jumper.
From what I can ascertain, a small Genii strike force has gated in.
Why are you doing this?
You are in possession of supplies we vitally need...
the C-4 explosive, all of your medical supplies.
As of right now, we are in control of atlantis.
Say goodbye to Dr. Weir.
And now the conclusion...
Kolya!
Kolya, don't do this!
How is this going to help you get what you want?
Sheppard put you in this position, not me.
You can't do this. This is crazy. You need her.
She's right, commander.
There are codes required to activate the shield,
codes that only she knows. You can't do it without her.
You can't do this without me either.
I mean, we're a package deal.
You take us out of the equation,
and you don't have an end-game.
Granted, that's a chess term.
My point is we're the only ones who can fix the grounding station.
We're the only ones who can activate the shield.
We're the only ones that can solve problems I can't even think of yet.
You kill either one of us,
and you don't get what you want.
That's how important we are.
Rodney.
Rodney, he gets it.
I appreciate your...
You're an asset we need to complete this mission.
You stepped in front of a gun for me.
Don't thank me just yet.
We've got two and a half hours till the storm hits, and unless our luck changes drastically,
this city is going to be obliterated.
Major Sheppard, how's this for credibility?
Weir is dead.
I'm going to kill you.
Maybe.
Stay out of my way, or McKay will join her.
Season 1 : Episode 11 The Eye
Team24 and SG-66 for seriestele.net and Forom.com Transcript: Raceman
This is amazing.
There you are.
We're here.
Take two men, head there.
Four levels down.
That's Sheppard.
Yes, sir.
Let's go.
You're with me.
He's heading out of the hallways.
- Holy Grail - That's it!
What are you doing, man?
Adding weight to the puddle jumper by resetting its inertial dampeners.
You shouldn't screw with those controls. We're heavy enough.
Can't be too careful.
Yes, you can. You can be way too careful.
There's no chance we're going to blow away here.
Let it go.
That should be enough.
How much longer until the storm passes?
I guess we're barely halfway through,
but there's no way to tell.
You know, I hope they're okay, too.
What's this then?
We're through it?
We can't be.
It's not possible.
He's moving.
Are you sure we're on the right level?
Where did he go?
He can probably hear your stupid questions.
Oh, will you look at this?
Now, that is just...
That is never going to be useful again.
I should be able to bypass the switching station entirely.
Good. How long?
It's not half as bad as it looks.
I'd say 15, 20 minutes tops.
Do it.
Dr. Weir, I need you to...
Right, of course.
Keep that there.
We're in the eye.
Right.
Has to be.
The eye?
Dead center of the storm.
The storm swirls around a 20- to 40- kilometer-wide area.
Then this calm will not last?
No, in fact, in about 10 minutes,
it's going to get very ugly again.
Well, come on. We have to help the major.
We can take off, but landing is twice as hard, believe me.
What if the storm's reached atlantis?
Has it?
Not just yet, but it will anytime now.
Stop wasting time. Let's go. Let's go.
We would still have to fly straight through the storm, lieutenant. It's insanity.
This is not insanity. This is a spaceship.
We can fly up and over.
Straight up and down?
Straight up and down.
I'm a bloody medical doctor, not a magician.
You can do it.
Teyla?
If we can help, we must.
Oh, crap.
20 feet away.
Five feet.
There's so much smoke.
Which way?
You're right on top of him.
Yeah? I think I would see him if I was.
Stand by.
Do you see him?
Did you get him?
Report.
Commander.
Yes, Sora.
Ladon had been leading three of our men on a reconnaissance mission.
It seems major Sheppard has killed three more of our strike team.
Tell everyone to move back to the control room.
Right away, sir.
Why did you tell him you could have this fixed in 15 to 20 minutes?
Oh, I don't know.
Maybe so he wouldn't kill us.
I understand that, but once the shield is operational,
we won't be very useful, now, will we?
Why did you let me tell him I could fix it in 15 or 20?
You just have to stall him some more.
Well, I just told him how long it'll take.
Find another problem with it.
Tell them that the power loop interface
isn't jiving with your walkabout, something.
"Isn't jiving"?
Rodney, you get my point.
Though from the sounds of it,
if we give major Sheppard enough time,
it seems like he can take care of the rest of them on his own.
Radio chief Cowen.
Tell him to send reinforcements, a full company.
If you 're hoping major Sheppard
can diminish our numbers, you are mistaken.
Okay. What would McKay do?
You're coming in a little steep, doc.
- Thank you, Lieutenant. - I'm very aware of that.
I told you not to play with the inertial dampeners.
I'm pretty sure I got them back where they were.
Why don't you try to contact the major?
First, you got to get us in there.
What are you up to?
What's he done now?
I should have seen this coming.
Commander.
Major Sheppard has cut power to the control room.
How?
Atlantis is being powered by five small generators,
each responsible for a separate area of the city.
Major Sheppard has just disabled
the one generator that powers stargate operations in this tower.
Now, we still have most primary operations.
We have definitely lost all secondary systems.
Can you still track Sheppard?
No.
Then we have no idea where he is now.
No, sir.
Is the control room secure?
Yes, commander.
I suggest we send some men to guard the remaining generators.
No!
He's trying to divide us into manageable numbers.
Just hold stargate operations
until the reinforcements arrive.
Understood.
If he asks what's taking so long,
you have to do all the talking, okay?
You'll be fine.
No, no, I won't.
I'm a terrible bluffer. I've lost small fortunes at poker.
My eye twitches. I laugh inappropriately. It's not pretty.
What's our progress?
We've hit a small snag.
We're just running a diagnostic
to make sure we can interface our codes properly.
It's a small snag, small snag.
It's, like, half an hour at the most.
Commander Sheppard has just disabled another generator.
Yes, Ladon, I am aware of that.
He's cut the power to grounding station three.
Can it still be repaired?
Without power? No.
Can the plan be completed without it?
The other three grounding stations have been disabled.
No. No, it's just not good enough.
Look, by uncoupling the grounding stations,
it means that when lightning strikes the city,
the electricity will have nowhere to go.
If I could channel the electricity properly
through the conduits that line the city corridors,
we should be able to power the shield...
Temporarily.
If any of these grounding stations are left active,
a sizable amount of electricity
will find its way to ground and no shield.
Commander, the storm has not slowed its pace.
We have little time to get the shields activated.
We should re-evaluate our goal. Perhaps.
We still have more than enough time to complete our objectives.
Then I must strongly advise
that we send men down to repair the deactivated generators
and to guard the remaining active ones.
Agreed, teams of two,
but I want you to watch over the control room.
As soon as the reinforcements arrive,
have them take Sheppard with overwhelming force.
Understood.
Perhaps we can be under shelter while we wait.
I'm liable to catch a cold like that...
I take it that's a "no."
Remain here and be still.
I will return for you.
Where are we going?
Armory.
Are you sure...
You know you're always saying you're not military,
- you don't have to take orders? - Aye.
Now you do.
So long as it's temporary.
Should we try to contact the major now?
The Genii may be monitoring our frequencies.
We do not want to alert them of our presence.
Life-signs detector.
These wee dots don't tell us much about who's who.
How do we know which one's the major?
He'll be the dot getting rid of the other dots.
Great.
How many should we expect?
A full company, 60 or more.
I don't know how we were expected
to take a facility this size with any less.
It was supposed to be a raid to retrieve what was rightfully ours.
With me.
Come on.
Reinforcements are arriving now, Commander.
Have them secure stargate operations
and report back to me.
Yes, Commander.
Secure the area.
Then I want you to...
Shut it off. Ladon!
Stop him!
This is Sora.
Stop sending the reinforcements.
The stargate shield has been raised.
Sheppard has raised the gate shield.
Shut it down.
Turn it off.
I don't know how.
Ladon is unconscious.
Tell her the procedure.
I can't. I don't know what he's done!
Tell her.
Well, he must have entered his personal command code.
What is it?
I don't know!
Only Sheppard would know it.
Trust me, I'm not that brave.
I would help you if I could.
You have the command codes.
It's no use.
It's over.
The gate has shut down.
There are no more men coming.
How many men made it?
Five.
Five of 60.
You still need me if you want the city.
You still need both of us.
He's entered some sort of security code to lock down the gate.
Just give me some time.
I should be able to crack it.
Do it.
Commander?
He thinks he can have the gate fixed.
Did Athor's son make it through the gate?
I'm sorry?
His name is Idos.
Did he make it?
No, sir.
Over 60 men killed.
Defending his home and his people, Commander, as we would.
When can more reinforcements be sent?
It will take time, perhaps an hour.
Unacceptable!
Yes, Commander, it is unacceptable,
because by then, we will be in the full force of the storm.
Probably sooner.
Major Sheppard, I have a proposition for you.
Do you recognize that voice?
No.
Kolya, I'm having a hard time keeping up. What's the score again?
My men have informed me that not only have you disabled
some crucial generators, but you've stolen key components
which make it impossible for them to be restored.
Yeah, I did that.
There are two flaws in your plan.
I'm always open to constructive criticism.
One, the assumption I would believe
you'd rather destroy the city than let it fall to us is childish.
Doesn't sound like me.
Second, if and when I determine atlantis unsalvageable,
doctors Weir and McKay become obsolete.
Weir is alive?
Dr. McKay was able to make a strong case for keeping her alive.
Let me talk to her.
Sheppard.
We're both here.
It's good to hear your voice.
Yeah, it's good to hear.
We have less than one hour before the storm hits full-force.
If the power is not returned to grounding station three within the next 10 minutes, Dr. Weir dies.
Again, you mean.
Her death will buy you another 10 minutes,
after which, should the power still be out, Dr. McKay dies.
We will then leave with what we can, and the city will be destroyed.
Well, that's not enough time.
If you don't mind destroying atlantis,
stay where you are for the next 20 minutes.
Starting now.
Don't load up so much. It'll slow you down.
Two extra magazines each.
All right.
What do you need that for?
Anything I see moving is going to get shot.
So, what if it's the major?
Then he'll get hit with a wraith stunner instead of a p-90.
What if he sees us first?
He'll probably hear you first.
Are you telling me to shut up again?
Again.
Right.
Let's go.
Which naquadah generator would power the third grounding station?
You're asking me?
Whichever one it is, it's going to be an ambush.
We've got to be there.
There's one here.
- Is that a guess? - Aye, but it makes sense.
It's the closest.
All right, I'll take point.
Teyla, you're on our six. You...
Don't open your mouth until I say so.
Only shoot at what I tell you to shoot at.
You don't have to be so bloody pushy.
That's an order.
Stop.
Look, your boss wanted me to turn this thing back on,
so I think we should do what he says.
Be quiet.
Sora.
We have him.
Keep him alive.
I'm on my way.
Is it the wrong one?
Yeah, I'd say so.
Oh, don't you blame me for this.
I'm not an engineer.
I really only have a basic understanding of how Rodney
and his team configured the power, so don't expect me...
You just can't stop talking, can you?
You just can't help yourself. No matter what I say...
And you're such a nice young lad
until you're put in charge, you cheeky little bugger.
Wait...
What if this is the right station, and the major has not made it back yet?
Oh, she's right.
No. No, this one's working.
How much time?
Two minutes.
There's five generators.
It's not this one.
It can't be the one that powers the control tower.
That leaves three.
We've got a one in three chance of guessing the right one.
We may just be walking into the very ambush
we're trying to save him from.
We're not far from a transporter.
Are any of the generators near a transport station?
Aye. There's two.
Well, let's go.
Okay, if I remember correctly...
Remember correctly.
I think they are here and here.
Which one are you sure is next to a power generator?
- Okay, just give me a moment. - No moments. Pick one.
I'm the one you're going to blame if it's wrong.
We have to go now.
Here.
I don't mean to be a bad prisoner or anything,
but Kolya is going to kill one of my people
if I don't get this thing back on in time, so...
Turn around.
You turn around.
What?
Well, if I have to turn around, you should turn around.
What the hell took you so long?
- Well, there's this storm... - Just hold that thought.
It seems major Sheppard wants you to live.
Let's get back to work.
You okay, sir?
I've been better. Been worse.
My shoulder's a little sore.
Do you want me to take a look at that?
I'll take a recheck when that'll be out.
We should leave this area. More Genii will be on their way.
I couldn't agree more.
If this doesn't work...
It will.
I'm just saying, if it doesn't work...
It will.
I'm sure it will, but in the unlikely event that it doesn't...
Rodney...
Please.
Fantastic.
Oh, thank god.
Mckay figures he can harness the storm's lightning to fire up the shield.
Just lightning?
SG teams have done it before to power a stargate.
There's a big difference between a stargate...
I didn't say you could talk.
Now...
I need to run the subroutine that will convince
the input buffers in the shield generator
to attenuate the raw electricity into usable power.
I can only do that from the control room.
That's where Dr. Weir's codes come in.
Yes.
Only primary systems are operating.
Sheppard has to repair the other generator.
The shield's considered a primary system.
We're good to go, but we have to go now, I mean now.
I mean everybody, all your men.
What does that have to do with my men?
Now that the grounding station's been deactivated,
electricity will be free to flow through the conduits
that line every corridor in the city.
What kind of a plan is that?
A Rodney McKay kind of plan.
It's all we've got.
And it leaves us only one place to go.
Where the Genii will also be.
Now, the control room and stargate operations are shielded,
but the rest of the city...
Once the lightning starts to hit...
Anybody left in the hallways is as good as dead.
Why haven't you responded?
She's here, Commander.
Who?
Teyla. She and two others have joined Sheppard.
Why wasn't this reported sooner?
Fall back to the control room immediately.
She's just out of my reach.
If I am patient...
I gave you an order.
She left my father for dead.
The storm is upon us. The city is no longer safe.
I don't care.
Fall back.
You have my word. Your father will be avenged.
- By me. - Sora
Will the young hunters in the jumper be safe?
The jumper bay's part of stargate operations.
They'll be protected.
Then maybe that's where we should be headed.
If the shield goes up over the city, Weir and McKay are expendable to Kolya.
We got to take the control room first.
Would he really kill them just because they are of no further use to him?
No, he'd kill them to punish me.
Now, here's the deal...
Ford and I get into position, just below the control room stairs.
Teyla and Beckett head to the jumper bay.
I intend to fight alongside you...
and I intend you to fight with us.
Once you get in position,
lower the ship into the gate room,
open the weapons pods.
That should create enough distraction for Ford and me to go in.
We take back the control room, get the shield up.
City's saved.
Weir and McKay saved.
We take the rest of the day off.
Sounds like a plan, sir.
Stay on channel two. Let's move out.
You're not going to need that thing.
Shoot to kill.
The winds are getting stronger
and the wave heights are growing.
We need to keep stalling.
What for?
Major Sheppard is still out there.
If you activate...
Now, McKay.
It's done.
Dr. Weir, I need you to enter your code now.
Yes, of course.
Seven, nine... Four, two, one.
Yes?
Zero, three, two, four, five.
And the second sequence?
I'll be glad when this following-orders business is over...
Drop it!
I'll kill him.
I would hate to kill you so quickly.
I have known you for almost all your life.
Why are you doing this?
You left him to die...
Your father killed an innocent.
He alerted the wraith to our presence.
And you escaped.
If I am to die by your hand, Sora...
I die knowing there was nothing
I could have done to have saved Tyrus.
We're in position.
This isn't right.
What?
Teyla and Beckett should have easily made it to the jumper bay first.
They should have been waiting for us.
Teyla, what's your position?
Teyla?
This was my father's.
It was handed down from his father.
If you want to fight this way, Sora, I will win.
You will have avenged no one.
We'll see.
Engage the shield.
I'm almost finished.
A massive wave is approaching from the west.
Without the shield...
McKay!
We're starting to get hits on the northern pier.
Routing power to the corridor... Now.
Now.
Okay, this is a problem.
What?
Look, I told you this was a long shot from the beginning.
We already have serious flooding on the north and west piers.
It's no use. The city conduits can't handle this kind of raw power.
Is any power getting to the shield generator?
Nominal amounts. Nowhere near enough.
You said this would work.
I don't know if you noticed or not, but I am extremely arrogant man
who tends to think all of his plans will work.
Idiot!
Hey, this was a long shot at best.
Why else would we evacuate the city?
It was always our intention to dial out
in case this didn't work.
Within minutes, Atlantis will fail.
You can leave and survive,
or you can go down with the city.
You choose.
We're just not getting enough power to the shield generators.
Are you really going to sacrifice the lives
of all of your men on the off-chance that this city
won't be completely destroyed?
Open the stargate.
Start evacuating the remaining men.
You're making the right decision.
You're coming with us.
What?
You'll both serve the Genii as payment for what you've done.
Oh, for what we've done?
Change of plan.
You got McKay.
Seriously, this is a bad idea.
You saw what happened to my last plan.
This is not what...
You're not going anywhere.
I will shoot you if you don't let her go.
And risk hurting Dr. Weir?
I'm not aiming at her.
Find Teyla and Beckett. Make sure that's all of them.
Sorry about that. I had to...
You okay?
No.
You will be. Come on.
Wait! What are you doing?
I thought I'd activate the shield and save the day.
You got something else in mind?
Teyla and Beckett are still out there.
Tracking system's down.
There's a tsunami headed towards the city, lieutenant.
In two and a half minutes, they're dead.
Then we give them two minutes.
This is not what your father would have wanted.
Our people were destined to be allies...
Teyla and Beckett, fall back to the control room.
This must end... now!
Then end it.
There's no more time.
We either lose them or we lose the city.
Rodney, go!
Going!
What's happening?
It's working, It just needs to build up enough power for the shield to activate.
Wait for it.
Carson.
Rodney.
You're just in time to see how this ends, huh?
Now.
Nice work, Rodney.
Did you ever doubt me?
Yes, several times.
I see you've made a new friend, Teyla.
What do you want to do with her?
I don't know yet.
We'll keep her locked up for the time being.
Maybe releasing her back to the Genii would help ease tension between us.
You're extremely optimistic. You know that?
You think so?
Everyone getting back okay?
Looks like it.
How fares our city?
Well, we've begun pumping out the lower levels
of the east pier, which was flooded.
There is structural damage, nothing too serious.
Beckett's suffered from a minor concussion.
I mean, look at this. I had to do this myself.
Still, on the bright side, I've had my first decent meal in 24 hours,
so all things considered, I would say we are just fine.
You say these things happen every 20 years, right?
That's what they tell us.
How far in advance can we book days off?
