1
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,680
Previously on Stargate Atlantis...
2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,560
The hive ships will be in range
of the satellite in 49 hours.
3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,000
That satellite is the only thing
standing between the Wraith and Atlantis.
4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,400
And you think it's powerful enough
to take out a Wraith hive ship?
5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,200
According to the Ancients' database, it should
be able to take out all three when fully charged.
6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,520
This is bad. Very bad.
7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,400
I'm not sure I can fix this.
8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,120
The Wraith are not interested
in destroying Atlantis.
9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,480
They're coming here to get to Earth.
10
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,360
Which means stealing the city, which
is why we have a self-destruct in place.
11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,120
We're having trouble
docking with the satellite.
12
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:34,280
See what you can do from your side.
13
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:35,400
There isn't time for that.
14
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:40,400
Get to a safe distance, then come get me once
the satellite has taken care of the Wraith ships.
15
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:44,600
We have a kill.
16
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,440
There's no time.
17
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:47,880
Just get the hell out of here!
18
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,560
Atlantis, this is McKay. We have lost the satellite.
19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:53,960
Did you manage to take out any more ships?
20
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:54,800
Negative.
21
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,520
The two other hive ships are intact.
22
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,280
You can't do any more out there, Rodney.
23
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,280
Return to Atlantis.
24
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,160
Welcome back, Rodney.
25
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,320
Where are we?
26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,720
Our scanners show the hive
ships have started moving again,
27
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,720
although their pace
has slowed considerably.
28
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,720
Obviously, you gave them
something to think about.
29
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,560
If they get here in two hours or two days, it
doesn't change the fact that we're out of options.
30
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,760
We can't hope to fight them.
31
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,000
So, unless either of you has any more ideas...
32
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,920
The last group is assembled and ready for evac.
33
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:35,640
All right, then.
34
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,600
Let's get this done.
35
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,800
Ready?
36
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,600
Self-destruct is armed.
37
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,440
Prepare to load the virus into the Ancient mainframe.
38
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,400
Rodney, dial the alpha site.
39
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,440
Dialing.
40
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,480
We've got an incoming wormhole.
41
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,840
We're receiving an I.D.C.
42
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,080
Who is it?
43
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,200
Stargate Command.
44
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,280
Are you sure?
45
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:31,520
Positive.
46
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,120
Lower the shields.
47
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Dr. Weir?
48
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,040
Yes.
49
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,960
Colonel Everett, United States Marine Corps.
50
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:53,760
You should know...
51
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:58,800
General O'Neill sends his compliments on a job
well done under extraordinary circumstances.
52
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,240
You are relieved.
53
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,320
We were about to evacuate.
54
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,600
Without a fight.
55
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,360
Yes, sir.
56
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,440
On my order.
57
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,320
That evacuation order is rescinded.
58
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,200
I assume you've armed the self-destruct device?
59
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,400
Yes, sir, we have, but as
Dr. Weir was trying to tell you...
60
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,680
I am going to need you to disarm it immediately.
61
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:16,520
Hold on a second, Colonel.
62
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,440
I don't think you fully grasp our situation...
63
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,600
You have three Wraith hive ships
bearing down on your position
64
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,800
and precious little to defend yourselves with.
65
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,640
That about sum it up?
66
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:26,520
You got our message.
67
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:27,800
We got your message.
68
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,200
It's down to two hive ships.
We managed to destroy one.
69
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,240
Good for you.
70
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,480
That should make my job a little easier.
71
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:34,920
What exactly is your job, sir?
72
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,480
I should think that would be
obvious to you by now, Major.
73
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,880
We are going to defend Atlantis at all costs.
74
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:44,960
Colonel.
75
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,440
Signed by General O'Neill.
76
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,640
Colonel, it's not that we don't appreciate the thought,
77
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,080
but if you had read the report
on the armada headed this way,
78
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,680
you'd know there's not much we can do about it.
79
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,040
Oh, I read your report cover to cover, Major.
80
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,600
They must have found a ZPM.
81
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,440
That's the only way they could
have dialed in from Earth.
82
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,040
It was discovered in Egypt
by a group of archaeologists.
83
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,440
The damn thing has been under our noses the whole time.
84
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,920
Fantastic. Wait a minute.
85
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,600
How could you possibly bring the ZPM back here?
86
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:16,720
You need it to maintain the wormhole.
87
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:20,440
As we speak, it is being transported up
to the Daedalus, our new battlecruiser.
88
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,120
Sister ship of the Prometheus.
89
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,360
I didn't even know it was finished.
90
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,840
With the ZPM boosting her engines, she
should be here inside of of four days.
91
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,320
That is how long we have to hold this base.
92
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,240
Major Sheppard, dial Pegasus alpha
site, recall all military personnel.
93
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,720
As well, any civilians who would like to return and
help take part in damage control are welcome to do so.
94
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,600
And when you're done with that, please join
me and my officers in the conference room.
95
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,320
We'll discuss our tactical position.
96
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,560
Colonel Everett.
97
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,760
Fine, you're in charge, but
I should be at that briefing.
98
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,480
When it comes down to any other aspect of
Atlantis, I will be happy to include you.
99
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,040
We're talking about our tactical position.
100
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,000
- I understand that...
- Good.
101
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,040
Somebody want to please turn off that self-destruct?
102
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,160
This schematic is based on the
information we got in your message.
103
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,320
Can I assume it's accurate?
104
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,160
Yes, sir.
105
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,480
Captain, deploy plan alpha-two.
106
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:09,400
Yes, sir.
107
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,000
Sergeant, alpha-two.
108
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,680
If you don't mind my asking,
Colonel, deploy what exactly?
109
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,120
We brought along a few rail guns.
110
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,680
They were originally slated for Prometheus to replace
their current close-in armament on her next refit.
111
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,400
They will deliver an impact
velocity of mach 5 at 250 miles.
112
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,560
A standard magazine
will hold 10,000 rounds.
113
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,400
The self-destruct has been aborted.
114
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,760
Thank you.
115
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,560
Did you contact the alpha site?
116
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,160
I asked major Sheppard to wait until
I had a chance to talk with you.
117
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,400
- Is that a fact?
- Yes, sir.
118
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,120
Major, dial the alpha site.
119
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,160
Colonel, you've been here all of five minutes.
120
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,360
Now, I have been responsible for
the lives of the people on this base,
121
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,320
both military and civilian,
for the past several months.
122
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,440
I'm not about to put those lives in jeopardy until
I at least know how you intend to defend this city.
123
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,760
I don't need to explain myself to you,
Doctor, and I don't need your cooperation.
124
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:01,840
But you could probably use mine.
125
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,560
Sir.
126
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,880
So with all due respect, please
answer Dr. Weir's question.
127
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,080
Is that a threat, Major?
128
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,320
No, sir.
129
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,840
I understand you need to establish a clear chain
of command, but if you cut Dr. Weir out of the loop,
130
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:21,000
you'll only alienate the people whose
trust and respect she's earned,
which is everyone on the base, including me.
131
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,440
Is that a fact?
132
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,600
Have a seat.
133
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:37,880
I should be in that meeting.
134
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,280
I am the foremost expert on the
defense capabilities of this city.
135
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:41,400
You know how it is.
136
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,960
When military steps in,
scientists take a back seat.
137
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,040
Until they need us.
138
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,000
They don't think they need us.
139
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,760
They don't think they need us right
up until the point that they need us.
140
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,200
- And then... they need us.
- Then they need us.
141
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,600
Take a look at this.
142
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,120
Six naquadah-enhanced nuclear
warheads, 1,200 megatons a piece.
143
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,880
They emit almost zero E.M. and
are otherwise invisible to radar.
144
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,320
Once deployed, they will
detonate by proximity fuse.
145
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:11,600
Space mines?
146
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:12,520
That's right.
147
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,920
We'll use jumpers in stealth mode to place them
in a pattern between the armada and Atlantis.
148
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,440
Major, we were hoping you could help us with that.
149
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,080
Yes, but I recommend keeping a couple in reserve.
150
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,040
Negative. We'll only get one shot at this.
151
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,640
We'll have to consider the possibility...
152
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:25,800
Four of my men are pilots.
153
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,160
Beckett is giving them the gene inoculation right now.
154
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,080
Assuming it takes, you will
familiarize them with the jumpers,
155
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,960
and they will become our fighter screen.
156
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,080
Along with me.
157
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,320
I have another job for you.
158
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,720
I understand that this base is
equipped with a chair weapons platform,
159
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,720
like the one we found in Antarctica.
160
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,160
Yes, but we have no way of powering it.
161
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,280
We do now.
162
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,560
We brought a mark II naquadah generator.
163
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,960
We found a way to increase
the power output by 600%.
164
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,240
It won't last nearly as long, but it should
power the chair for as long as we need it to.
165
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:54,840
This is beginning to sound like a plan.
166
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,040
I'm glad you approve.
167
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:03,080
We know this is a long shot, but like I said, all we
have to do is hold out until the Daedalus gets here,
168
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,800
then we can use the ZPM to power the city shield.
169
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:08,960
Any questions?
170
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:14,760
All right, then.
171
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:20,360
Now that Dr. Weir has been informed of
our plans, I would greatly appreciate it
172
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,040
if you'd execute my order and contact the alpha site.
173
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,600
Yes, sir.
174
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,080
And Major.
175
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,680
This is last time I give you an order twice.
176
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,600
Understood.
177
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,800
You must be Teyla.
178
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,160
And you are Colonel Everett.
179
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,920
Major Sheppard spoke very highly of you in his report.
180
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,560
Of course, a more recent report
has me a little concerned.
181
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,920
You think I may once again fall
under the influence of the Wraith?
182
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,800
Major Sheppard assures me that won't happen,
but I do need you to stay out of the way.
183
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,280
Do you not need every able
body to help defend Atlantis?
184
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,200
I think we can handle it.
185
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,120
He's not even trying.
186
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,640
We've tried this a dozen times.
187
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,080
But never with this power source.
188
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,760
I'm serious. Major Sheppard's your man.
189
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,800
Of course he is, but he's training pilots
and deploying space mines right now,
190
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,320
so we're stuck with you.
191
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,000
Now, listen to me very carefully,
do exactly what I tell you to do,
192
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,480
and hopefully no one will get hurt.
193
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,320
Rodney, there must be someone else.
194
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,400
Concentrate on powering up the chair.
195
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,280
Nothing else, nothing more, nothing but.
196
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,160
Don't start thinking...
197
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,680
don't tell me what not to start thinking
about, or I'll start thinking about it.
198
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,000
Please power it up.
199
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:26,680
Good.
200
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,000
Good... good.
201
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,640
And... oh, no.
202
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,200
What? Did I do something wrong?
203
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:41,320
So... see?
204
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:42,960
Nothing to worry about.
205
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:45,800
Get him out of the chair.
206
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,680
Elizabeth. Excuse me.
207
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,800
I've hooked up the generator, and
the chair platform is operational.
208
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:58,800
That's good news.
209
00:12:58,920 --> 00:12:59,640
Not so much.
210
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:00,800
Why? What's wrong?
211
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,560
We're down to just a few dozen drones.
212
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,040
And you're just finding this out now?
213
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,840
There was no way of determining
that until the chair was initialized,
214
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,920
and that was only possible
once the mark II was tied in.
215
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,720
The chair in Antarctica controlled
thousands of the damn things.
216
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,240
Yes. I know.
217
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,360
They were probably used defending Atlantis the
first time the Wraith attacked the Ancients.
218
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,800
Even a few dozen will help us
keep them at bay for a while.
219
00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:21,880
What is it?
220
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,800
We have incoming. I don't know where they came from.
221
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,240
They just appeared all of a sudden.
222
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,400
What's going on?
223
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:29,160
We've just detected a wave of
objects approaching the planet.
224
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,160
How many?
225
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,400
A hundred plus.
226
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:33,640
How come they weren't detected
by the long-range sensors?
227
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,240
Because they're rocks... asteroids.
228
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,200
The Wraith must have harvested them
from this system's asteroid belt
229
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,360
and accelerated them towards
us from a safe distance.
230
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:43,720
The mainframe's taken this long
to determine they were a threat.
231
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,040
Can they do much damage?
232
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,000
Oh, yeah, even if most of them
burn off in the atmosphere,
233
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,560
but that's not why they're doing it.
234
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,320
They're headed toward the mines.
235
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,680
Well, can they be deactivated?
236
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:53,600
No.
237
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,000
Well... that's that.
238
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:11,400
Your mines made one hell of a bang, Colonel.
239
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,680
I'm sure the Wraiths' ears are ringing.
240
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,040
What's the status of the hive ships?
241
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,320
There's no way of knowing.
242
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,160
The mine detonations must
have overloaded the sensors.
243
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,040
How long till they're back up?
244
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,360
There's a lot of residual radiation.
245
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,440
It'll keep us blind for hours.
246
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,360
Yeah, well, they're still out there, and
we just lost our primary line of defense.
247
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,720
You wanted to see me, Colonel?
248
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,520
I was told I could learn a lot about
the history of Atlantis in this room.
249
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,320
We haven't used it much because
of the power requirements.
250
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,000
Still, I would like to see for myself
how the Ancients lost the first time,
251
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,440
try to avoid their mistakes.
252
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,760
Yes, sir, we could do that.
253
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:13,600
This is the status of the Pegasus galaxy
before the Ancients encountered the Wraith.
254
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:20,000
The blue stars represent systems either
inhabited by or protected by the Ancients.
255
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:27,360
Then... this is how it looked after
they fought for almost a hundred years.
256
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,120
Until Atlantis was all that was left?
257
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,320
Yes, sir.
258
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:32,960
That's when the siege began.
259
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,640
For several more years, the Atlantians
were able to hold off their attackers,
260
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,120
relying on the city's shield and superior weaponry,
261
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,080
including the weapons satellite system.
262
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,560
No matter how many Wraith ships
they destroyed, more kept coming here.
263
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,240
They could win almost every battle,
but they saw no way to win the war.
264
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:58,000
So... they submerged the city... and left.
265
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,880
That's it. That's the story.
266
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:05,360
But the picture is pretty clear.
267
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,560
So you think this is a no-win situation?
268
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:09,640
No, sir.
269
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:14,520
What I mean is, even if we beat
them this time, they're going to come back.
270
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:19,560
Major...
271
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,240
I think I should tell you that colonel
Marshall Sumner was a very good friend of mine.
272
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,280
We served together a lot of years and you know...
273
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,280
I cannot, for the life of me,
274
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,400
figure how it is that you could go
as far as you did and not save him.
275
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,520
- How you could get that close...
- By the time I reached colonel Sumner...
276
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,120
worse, you admit to firing
the shot that killed him.
277
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,680
Because I believe that's
what he wanted me to do.
278
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,280
You knew him that well, did you?
279
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,840
You weren't there, sir.
280
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,760
I wish, for his sake, I was.
281
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,080
There isn't a night that doesn't go by
where that moment doesn't play in my head...
282
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,040
and every time it does...
283
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:10,640
Control room...
284
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,280
This is colonel Everett. Report.
285
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:16,720
Sir, we've just detected a wave of darts inbound.
286
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,160
I'm on my way. Head to the chair.
287
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:20,960
We'll finish this later.
288
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:25,560
What's happening?
289
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,720
Multiple signals, sir, closing fast.
290
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,440
Dr. McKay must've been right about
the nukes damaging the sensors.
291
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,720
We couldn't see them until
they were right on top of us.
292
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:33,760
Are my gunners in position?
293
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:34,400
Yes, sir.
294
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:35,600
About our damage control parties?
295
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:36,760
They're all in position.
296
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,560
All right. Darken the city.
297
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,440
Remember, short steady bursts.
298
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:02,680
Here they come!
299
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:49,800
McKay, fire it up!
300
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:50,960
It'll take a minute.
301
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:52,760
We don't have a minute.
302
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,360
This generator can only power the chair because it
operates in a state of barely-controlled overload...
303
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,400
Just get the damn thing working.
304
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,400
That's what I'm trying to do.
305
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:06,960
Colonel, it's Radner.
306
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,200
Go ahead.
307
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,880
It looks like some of them are
starting to make kamikaze runs.
308
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:16,720
What happened?
309
00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:19,200
We lost primary systems.
310
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,080
One of our gun positions is dark.
311
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,320
Ferrell, why aren't you firing?
312
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,200
Ferrell, report.
313
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,320
Colonel, this is lieutenant Ford.
314
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:01,120
I'm near Ferrell's position.
315
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:02,320
I'm on it!
316
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,560
You've got power. Go!
317
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,560
Power is out in sections of the city.
318
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,720
The long-range scanners and the internal
sensors are down, but we're working on them.
319
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,960
I want to know the status of those hive ships A.S.A.P.
320
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,800
They're coming. That's their status.
321
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,680
Tomorrow, the day after,
the day after that... eventually,
322
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:54,440
they'll get here.
323
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,080
Whether we're here to greet
them or not is another matter.
324
00:21:56,120 --> 00:21:56,840
Rodney.
325
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,240
Look, the chair is out of drones.
326
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,920
How do you expect to handle the next wave?
327
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:01,200
I'm open to suggestions.
328
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,280
Really?
329
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:06,920
We target the hive ships.
330
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,040
With what?
331
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,840
We fly the puddle jumper in stealth
mode right down their throats.
332
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,400
Are you volunteering for a suicide mission?
333
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,440
It won't be a suicide mission if McKay and Zelenka
334
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,440
can figure out a way to remote-control the jumpers.
335
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:19,760
Can you do it?
336
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:20,800
I knew this was going to happen.
337
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:21,480
Is that a fact?
338
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:22,080
Yes, it's a fact.
339
00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:24,960
Look, you show up here
with your guns and your brush cuts,
340
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,840
but when it comes to actually saving the city,
341
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,080
you turn to the scientists, and
every time, what you ask is impossible.
342
00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:32,080
When was the last time you slept, Doctor?
343
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:33,520
Shut up. I have an idea.
344
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:34,240
The chair.
345
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:35,200
Of course, the chair.
346
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,080
The problem is tying it
to the jumper's systems.
347
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:38,080
Without overloading the generators.
348
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:41,320
Possibly using the drones on the
jumpers themselves as a means of propulsion...
349
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:43,720
while increasing the inertial dampening to maximum.
350
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,160
It won't be very maneuverable,
but possibly, possibly...
351
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:46,920
Is that a "yes?"
352
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,720
No, it's a "possibly."
353
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,360
I'll take it. How much damage
can one puddle jumper do?
354
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,280
I've got an idea about that, too.
355
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,360
I think I know where
we can get another nuke.
356
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,960
Major, I don't know how sympathetic
the Genii will be to our situation.
357
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:02,240
The Genii?
358
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,000
They want to test their weapon.
359
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:04,920
Now's your chance.
360
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,200
Let me pass!
361
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,480
I need to talk to Dr. Weir!
362
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:11,640
Teyla?
363
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,200
What's the matter?
364
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,240
The Wraith...
365
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,200
they are in Atlantis.
366
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:30,920
The Wraith piloting the kamikaze ships
beam into the city right before they hit.
367
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,480
So they're trying to take the city intact.
368
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:33,640
How many are we talking about?
369
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:34,720
How many darts crashed?
370
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,320
Between 20 and 30,
and internal sensors are still down.
371
00:23:38,360 --> 00:23:39,160
Well, we have this.
372
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,320
It can't differentiate between Wraith and human,
373
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,280
but if we confine all base
personnel to the designated areas,
374
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,480
the blips that show up out
of bounds will be the likely targets.
375
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:49,160
Let me see that.
376
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:50,760
It won't do you any good. You need the gene.
377
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,400
I got the gene therapy, too.
378
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:58,480
We wish to help.
379
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,440
This is quite a large city, you need
as many people searching as possible.
380
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,360
She is the one who sensed the
Wraith presence in the first place.
381
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:11,240
Captain.
382
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,040
Get some weapons for these people.
383
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:16,800
Yes, sir.
384
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,520
There's other people on this base that possess
the Ancient gene... Dr. Kusanagi, for example.
385
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,320
I'm sure she'd relish the opportunity to help.
386
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:35,240
I am exhausted and starving, so sit down.
387
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:36,720
Carson, it's out of drones.
388
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,080
You couldn't do any damage if you wanted to.
389
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:40,600
Thank you.
390
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,320
Okay, we're in business.
Head down to the jumper bay.
391
00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:44,600
Radio me when you get there.
392
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,200
You okay?
393
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,400
How about next time you can be the bait?
394
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,840
Yeah, maybe. Next time.
395
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,280
Okay, this way.
396
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,240
We just received the response from the Genii.
397
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:33,360
Let's hear it.
398
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,160
This is Prenum of the Genii.
399
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,240
We welcome the opportunity to
open a dialogue between our two people.
400
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,040
Send your representative... one person, unarmed.
401
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,080
Is that all?
402
00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:47,840
Yes, ma'am.
403
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,880
Colonel Everett, this is Weir.
404
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,720
As we'd hoped, the Genii have
asked us to send a representative.
405
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:54,680
I'm set to go.
406
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,080
Good. I can't imagine anyone more qualified.
407
00:26:57,120 --> 00:26:59,120
Pull this off, and I'll buy you a drink.
408
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:00,720
You've got a deal.
409
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:02,240
Dial the gate.
410
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,160
Dr. Weir...
411
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,720
I am Prenum of the Genii.
412
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:48,400
I'm rather surprised... no, astonished that
you would have the audacity to come here.
413
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:49,560
You heard our message.
414
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,520
The Wraith are at our doorstep.
415
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:56,160
And we are understandably delighted
at the prospect of your demise.
416
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,440
That may be so...
417
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,560
but, still, we have something that you want.
418
00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:03,400
C-4.
419
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,320
More than that.
420
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,680
We have an opportunity for you to test your weapon
421
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:13,520
at no risk to yourselves,
and a chance to strike at the Wraith.
422
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,200
You have no idea how close they are.
423
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,800
The Wraith have come, Doctor.
424
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,960
Six days ago.
425
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,280
Fortunately, we detected their approach
426
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,680
and we were able to shut down our reactors in time.
427
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,120
Hundreds of lives were lost on the surface,
428
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,400
but thousands more were saved because
our underground complex went undetected.
429
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:44,520
So, you see, the threat to the Genii has come and gone.
430
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,200
So far as the Wraith are concerned,
431
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,120
this planet is no longer of interest to them.
432
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,880
We have the design that Dr. McKay provided for us,
433
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,720
and our prototype bombs are nearly complete.
434
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,200
So why would you ask me to come here?
435
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,960
So that we may trade the C-4...
436
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,560
for your life.
437
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,360
Damn it.
438
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,720
This is Everett.
439
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,080
The Wraith just took out one of our generators.
440
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,000
What's the nearest generator station?
441
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,680
Number three, but Teyla's group is closer.
442
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:09,200
Teyla?
443
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:10,800
We are already on our way, Major.
444
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:11,800
We'll meet you there.
445
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,320
I have already offered you the C-4.
446
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,400
And you want our prototype weapons in exchange.
447
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,040
That's not a bargain for the Genii.
448
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,440
What would you do if you had the C-4 right now?
449
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:23,960
Incorporate it into your weapons?
450
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:24,320
Yes.
451
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:25,240
And you would test them.
452
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:26,520
Of course.
453
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,680
I am offering you the chance to test
your weapon design on a Wraith hive ship,
454
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,400
at no risk to your own people,
455
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,640
and still have enough to build dozens more.
456
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,760
Now, if you are too proud or too stupid to see...
457
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:40,600
Be careful, Doctor.
458
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,480
I am way past careful.
459
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,240
Now, you know what the deal is,
460
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,320
and it's a damn good one, so take it or leave it.
461
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,120
Yeah. That's it.
462
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,960
Okay... let's give it a test.
463
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,240
Standing by.
464
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:10,360
Carson,
465
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:11,480
I need you to clear your mind
466
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,120
and think about the puddle jumper.
467
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,440
Think about bringing it online.
468
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,120
Come on, come on, come on...
469
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,960
any time now.
470
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,440
Carson...
471
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,200
look, I know you can do this.
472
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,000
Just activate the puddle jumper.
473
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:34,600
Yes!
474
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:36,360
Yes! Yes! Yes!
475
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:37,600
Rodney, Rodney,
476
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,240
it works!
477
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,040
Oh, God.
478
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:51,800
Give me your radio.
479
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,000
Thank you.
480
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,120
This is Weir.
481
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,080
I've got the prototypes.
482
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,520
Prototypes. Right.
483
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,840
That should be the last of them.
484
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:39,880
Colonel.
485
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,440
Well done, Doctor.
486
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,200
I...I have to admit it,
487
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,120
I am impressed.
488
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,800
Well, maybe there's hope for me yet.
489
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:49,920
I'm in your chair.
490
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,120
I thought it was your chair.
491
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:52,560
Yeah, well, I...
492
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:53,280
I don't sit much.
493
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,640
I was just going over the...
494
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,440
We have a problem.
495
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,080
We have a lot of problems.
496
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,160
I just finished examining the Genii nuclear devices.
497
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,080
They're incomplete.
498
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,320
I could finish it, but it's going to take time.
499
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:05,200
How much time?
500
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:06,680
About a day.
501
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,400
We don't have a day, Doctor.
502
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,280
Well, like I said, we have a problem.
503
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:26,800
You wanted to see me, Rodney?
504
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,000
Yes. I need something to keep me awake.
505
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:28,760
Yeah, me too.
506
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:29,720
I've already given you something.
507
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,160
We're building nuclear bombs.
508
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,000
Staying awake is sort of a prerequisite.
509
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:33,960
Snappy.
510
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:34,880
All right,
511
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,000
I'll get you another stimulant.
512
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:36,760
Carry on.
513
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,000
Thank you.
514
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,920
I'm sorry you lost some of your people.
515
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:50,600
Many have died, Colonel.
516
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:51,560
This is jumper four.
517
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,520
We have a visual on the hive ships.
518
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:54,880
This is Everett.
519
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:59,000
Jumper four has just informed us
the Wraith hive ships are approaching the planet.
520
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,840
Defense team, to your positions.
521
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:04,720
Doctor?
522
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:08,720
Thank you.
523
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:12,800
This is Weir.
524
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,680
Now, I know how tired you all are,
525
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,480
and how much we have asked of you these past few days.
526
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,440
Hopefully, the Daedalus will arrive soon,
527
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,840
but until that happens,
our fate is in our own hands.
528
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,800
If, during the course of
this battle, that mission fails,
529
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,800
I will give the order to evacuate.
530
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,720
Now, we all hope it won't come to that,
531
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,680
but if it does...
532
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,920
don't hesitate.
533
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,560
That is all.
534
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:49,080
Time's up.
535
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,720
Oh, what a coincidence. We're done.
536
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,240
Oh... so... chair room?
537
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,440
Right.
538
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:06,120
Colonel.
539
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,760
We're heading into the bay to load up the jumpers.
540
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,640
Understood.
541
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:18,960
Remember...
542
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,680
I owe you that drink.
543
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,600
Slow. Slow, slow, slow.
544
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,160
Right here.
545
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,680
Sheppard, are you ready?
546
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:57,240
Rodney?
547
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,480
The generator's not powering up like it should be.
548
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,680
They're sending in another wave!
549
00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:37,880
Major, we need to go!
550
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:10,520
McKay!
551
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,600
There's something wrong.
Power levels are dropping!
552
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,280
Rodney, nothing is happening.
553
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,200
Why are there no jumpers in the air?
554
00:37:28,240 --> 00:37:30,320
We must have exhausted the mark II's energy output.
555
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:31,600
It's dead!
556
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,200
So long, Rodney.
557
00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:35,120
There's got to be a way to...
558
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:36,520
Major!
559
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,000
Heads up, people! They're in the base.
560
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,080
Colonel, we have a problem.
561
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:56,720
What is it?
562
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,080
We may need to give the order to evacuate.
563
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,240
Elizabeth, wait!
564
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:03,960
You can't.
565
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,840
I have to, and you know it.
566
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,880
John...
567
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:13,960
Go.
568
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,720
What's the status on that damn jumper?
569
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,520
It's on its way.
570
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,000
Dr. Weir, major Sheppard is taking the jumper out.
571
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,120
I'm aware of that, Dr. Zelenka.
572
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,240
Start prepping jumper two.
573
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,880
Teyla, I'm hearing gunfire. What's your status?
574
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,000
Teyla, do you hear me?
575
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:10,920
Teyla?
576
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,280
Hopefully, if I take this one out,
577
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,720
the other one will back off.
578
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,200
Go, go, go, go!
579
00:39:41,720 --> 00:39:42,920
We can't stay here, Elizabeth.
580
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,080
He's right, they're beaming in all over the place.
581
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,240
We're not going anywhere.
582
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:49,920
Not yet.
583
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,280
You know, if this works,
584
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,200
somebody might have to do it again.
585
00:40:03,240 --> 00:40:04,880
Understood.
586
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,480
Come on. Keep up!
587
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:10,640
Over there.
588
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,800
You let Sheppard fly that jumper?
589
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:35,200
Help me arm the self-destruct in case this fails.
590
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,720
They haven't detected my approach.
591
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,000
The weapon is armed and ready.
592
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:09,280
I'm going in.
