00:00:02,169 --> 00:00:04,755
We are the last of those
you refer to as "Ancients"
3
00:00:04,796 --> 00:00:07,633
There's still a lot of Wraith out there, and we can
sure use your help fighting them.
4
00:00:07,674 --> 00:00:11,428
We will eliminate the Wraith at
a time of our choosing
5
00:00:11,470 --> 00:00:13,597
They don't seem very Ancienty to me.
6
00:00:13,639 --> 00:00:14,515
Ancienty?
7
00:00:14,556 --> 00:00:16,975
Hopefully, this is just a stumbled beginning...
8
00:00:20,646 --> 00:00:21,772
They're not people.
9
00:00:21,813 --> 00:00:23,148
McKay!
10
00:00:23,607 --> 00:00:25,108
They're machines.
11
00:00:25,567 --> 00:00:27,152
Replicators.
12
00:00:28,862 --> 00:00:29,863
So...
13
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:32,866
..I'm in Atlantis and I need to get to Earth.
14
00:00:32,908 --> 00:00:34,409
What do I do?
15
00:00:34,451 --> 00:00:39,081
Since we no longer have access to a ZedPM,
due to unforeseeable circumstances...
16
00:00:39,122 --> 00:00:42,459
...my only option would be to call the Daedalus
and spend the next three weeks...
17
00:00:42,501 --> 00:00:45,295
...twiddling my thumbs waiting
to get back home..
18
00:00:45,337 --> 00:00:47,130
Until... now.
19
00:00:47,339 --> 00:00:48,382
I give you..
20
00:00:48,423 --> 00:00:52,719
....the McKay-Carter Intergalactic Gate Bridge.r.
21
00:00:52,886 --> 00:00:56,390
Thirty-four gates from both the Milky Way
and Pegasus Gate systems...
22
00:00:56,431 --> 00:01:00,519
...have been strategically placed in the
massive void between our two galaxies.
23
00:01:00,561 --> 00:01:02,604
Simply enter on either side
24
00:01:02,646 --> 00:01:04,565
...for example Atlantis...
25
00:01:04,606 --> 00:01:05,774
..and boom!
26
00:01:05,816 --> 00:01:09,486
A macro that I have written
specially for the occasion...
27
00:01:09,528 --> 00:01:14,658
...will command each gate in the chain to store you
in its buffer and forward you along to the next...
28
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:18,412
...and the next, and the next, and the
next until you arrive here..
29
00:01:18,453 --> 00:01:23,250
Once at the midway space station, you simply
exit the Pegasus Gate system...
30
00:01:23,292 --> 00:01:27,588
...and enter the Milky Way Gate system where
a similar macro designed by yours truly...
31
00:01:27,629 --> 00:01:29,631
...will forward you along to the SGC..
32
00:01:29,715 --> 00:01:32,509
Total travel time:
A little over thirty minutes..
33
00:01:32,551 --> 00:01:34,553
Cue applause..
34
00:01:36,597 --> 00:01:38,098
Thank you. Enough.
35
00:01:38,140 --> 00:01:40,684
he midway space station isn't completed yet so...
36
00:01:40,726 --> 00:01:43,645
...we will be testing the system today
using a Puddlejumper.
37
00:01:43,729 --> 00:01:45,814
- Now given the history of...
- All right, Show and Tell is over.
38
00:01:45,856 --> 00:01:48,609
The test is about to begin. Let's get
back to our stations, please.
39
00:01:48,775 --> 00:01:50,027
Right.
40
00:02:11,507 --> 00:02:14,009
All systems seem to be... Huh.
41
00:02:16,053 --> 00:02:17,179
What?
42
00:02:17,638 --> 00:02:18,847
Oh, there's...
43
00:02:19,097 --> 00:02:21,517
an odd echo in the proximity sensors.
44
00:02:21,975 --> 00:02:24,353
It won't effect the test, but uh...
45
00:02:24,937 --> 00:02:27,064
Yeah, we're ready to go.
46
00:02:35,989 --> 00:02:38,909
The gate is dialed. The forwarding
macro has been uploaded.
47
00:02:39,201 --> 00:02:41,537
All right, John. You have a go.
48
00:02:41,620 --> 00:02:42,871
All right then...
49
00:02:43,288 --> 00:02:45,040
Here goes.
50
00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:04,184
We have a contact.
51
00:03:04,601 --> 00:03:06,937
Colonel Sheppard, right on time.
What's your status?
52
00:03:07,396 --> 00:03:10,858
Well, felt a little weird, but everything
seems to be in one piece.
53
00:03:11,066 --> 00:03:13,443
Ready to proceed to next phase.
54
00:03:13,485 --> 00:03:15,529
Uploading macro and...
55
00:03:15,654 --> 00:03:18,240
...initiating dialing sequence.
56
00:03:22,536 --> 00:03:24,329
Oh, no, no, no, no, this is weird.
57
00:03:24,371 --> 00:03:26,373
- Shall I tell him to stand down?
- No, no, no, it's...
58
00:03:26,415 --> 00:03:29,001
....nothing to do with the test. It's just our...
59
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:31,044
...sensors aren't working properly.
60
00:03:31,170 --> 00:03:33,463
Daedalus, ready to proceed.
61
00:03:33,547 --> 00:03:34,798
Do I clear him?
62
00:03:35,090 --> 00:03:37,092
Hm?
Uh... Yeah, yeah, I'm sure he's fine.
63
00:03:39,094 --> 00:03:41,430
Uh... He's good to go. Good to go.
Yes. Go ahead.
64
00:03:41,471 --> 00:03:43,223
Colonel Sheppard, you have a go.
65
00:03:47,853 --> 00:03:49,479
Jumper is away.
66
00:04:02,910 --> 00:04:04,286
He's late.
67
00:04:04,328 --> 00:04:08,999
When traveling almost three million light years,
I?m not so sure there's such a thing as "late".
68
00:04:10,292 --> 00:04:12,002
Right... yes.
69
00:04:12,044 --> 00:04:15,255
You're just mad you didn't get to fly
the maiden voyage yourself.
70
00:04:15,297 --> 00:04:19,635
General, I am quite fond of both maidens and voyages..
71
00:04:19,718 --> 00:04:23,639
- I mean, put the two together and you have...
- You're not a test pilot anymore, Jack.
72
00:04:23,972 --> 00:04:25,933
That's what the President said.
73
00:04:26,099 --> 00:04:27,643
Incoming wormhole.
74
00:04:34,066 --> 00:04:35,609
It's about time.
75
00:04:35,651 --> 00:04:36,944
Sorry, sir.
76
00:04:37,486 --> 00:04:39,863
Colonel Sheppard, welcome to Earth.
77
00:04:40,405 --> 00:04:42,282
Thank you, sir. Good to be back.
78
00:04:42,324 --> 00:04:43,408
You know where to park...
79
00:04:43,492 --> 00:04:46,495
...We'll debrief and go over the flight
data as soon as you're ready.
80
00:04:46,537 --> 00:04:47,996
Yes, sir.
81
00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:53,669
Colonel, we're receiving a data burst.
82
00:04:53,794 --> 00:04:55,838
Jumper Three has arrived at Stargate
Command.
83
00:04:55,879 --> 00:04:57,047
Mission accomplished.
84
00:04:57,089 --> 00:04:59,258
Yes, of course, it worked.
I'm already onto the next problem.
85
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:00,175
Which is?
86
00:05:00,259 --> 00:05:03,887
Well, the sensors are having a hard
time determining what it is.
87
00:05:03,929 --> 00:05:06,348
- ...It's probably due to the Doppler Effect.
- What "What" is?
88
00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:11,687
I'm detecting a foreign object traveling at .999
speed of light.
89
00:05:12,771 --> 00:05:14,982
... And it's coming this way....

93
00:06:24,676 --> 00:06:26,220
We have a contact, sir.
94
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:27,930
It's Colonel Sheppard back from Earth.
95
00:06:27,971 --> 00:06:29,932
Colonel Sheppard, welcome back to
the middle of nowhere.
96
00:06:29,973 --> 00:06:31,058
Thank you, Colonel...
97
00:06:31,350 --> 00:06:34,353
I've got take-out pizza for everyone
back in Atlantis.
98
00:06:34,394 --> 00:06:35,979
With your permission...
99
00:06:36,021 --> 00:06:38,065
...I'd like to upload the macro and dial out
before it gets cold.
100
00:06:38,106 --> 00:06:40,734
Negative. We're putting that leg of
the trip on hold for now.
101
00:06:41,193 --> 00:06:43,320
Seems like we're
expecting company.
102
00:06:45,906 --> 00:06:51,078
Believe it or not, moving that fast, while an incredible
feat of technology isn't very useful...
103
00:06:51,119 --> 00:06:53,747
...certainly in comparison to travel
through hyperspace..
104
00:06:53,789 --> 00:06:56,834
Now, moving as fast as it
is this ship...
105
00:06:56,875 --> 00:06:58,710
...assuming it is a ship...
106
00:06:58,752 --> 00:07:01,713
...which will still take at least a million years
just to reach the Milky Way.
107
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,842
hat close to the speed of light don't you have
to take relativity into account?
108
00:07:04,883 --> 00:07:06,426
Exactly. The people on board...
109
00:07:06,510 --> 00:07:08,470
...assuming that they are people...
110
00:07:08,595 --> 00:07:12,474
...would only experience maybe twelve years,
so a few stasis chambers they're laughing.
111
00:07:12,558 --> 00:07:16,228
I mean they're not laughing their unconscious.
Uh... you know metaphorically....
112
00:07:16,270 --> 00:07:19,648
So, assuming it's a ship and
assuming they're people...
113
00:07:19,690 --> 00:07:20,774
What do we do about them?
114
00:07:20,816 --> 00:07:23,318
Ah well, we try and make contact,
obviously.
115
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,695
How do you propose we do that?
116
00:07:24,736 --> 00:07:27,698
Pull up. Honk the horn. Try to get them to
roll down their window.
117
00:07:27,739 --> 00:07:29,449
I'm talking about attempting to match their speed.
118
00:07:29,491 --> 00:07:31,243
This ship is not designed to do that..
119
00:07:31,285 --> 00:07:32,160
Well, we can't.
120
00:07:32,202 --> 00:07:35,330
I mean, even if we succeeded, we'd still be subjected
to the same time dilation effects.
121
00:07:35,372 --> 00:07:37,958
We'd be out of contact with Earth
and Atlantis for years.
122
00:07:38,250 --> 00:07:40,502
Can't we overtake them with our hyperdrive?
123
00:07:40,544 --> 00:07:44,298
Yes, but they would blow right past us as soon
as we dropped right back into normal space...
124
00:07:44,339 --> 00:07:48,844
...because our sublight engines aren't capable of accelerating to anywhere near the speed of light...
125
00:07:48,886 --> 00:07:52,806
So we max out the sublight engines,
get as close as we can get.
126
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:55,267
Hm. Yes. I mean, that might work.
127
00:07:55,309 --> 00:07:59,313
Uh... we should at least be able to stay in range
long enough to take some sensor readings.
128
00:07:59,354 --> 00:08:00,480
Do it.
129
00:08:00,522 --> 00:08:02,774
I'll let Atlantis know you're gonna be late.
130
00:08:07,696 --> 00:08:09,781
Um, did you really get pizza
for everyone?
131
00:08:09,823 --> 00:08:12,743
Because it would be a shame
for that to waste if we're going to um...
132
00:08:13,744 --> 00:08:16,371
Yeah... Okay,
solve this first and then...
133
00:08:22,628 --> 00:08:26,131
Sir, we've got just about everything we're gonna
get out of the sublight engines.
134
00:08:26,215 --> 00:08:28,217
They're gonna fly by us in three...
135
00:08:28,258 --> 00:08:29,343
...two...
136
00:08:29,593 --> 00:08:30,594
...one....
137
00:08:38,685 --> 00:08:40,395
Interesting.
138
00:08:40,979 --> 00:08:42,064
What?
139
00:08:42,105 --> 00:08:45,359
If these readings are correct, and to
be perfectly fair, they may not be...
140
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:46,902
Rodney.
141
00:08:47,027 --> 00:08:48,987
It's an Ancient warship.
142
00:08:49,488 --> 00:08:51,240
It's possibly Aurora-class.
143
00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:53,742
Who's flying it?
144
00:08:54,117 --> 00:08:56,203
I would imagine Ancients?
145
00:08:56,245 --> 00:08:59,331
But there hasn't been any of them around
for over ten thousand years.
146
00:08:59,498 --> 00:09:00,749
Relativity?!
147
00:09:00,874 --> 00:09:03,335
Look, remember for them only had handful
of years have passed....
148
00:09:03,377 --> 00:09:04,837
Don't those ships have hyperdrives?
149
00:09:04,878 --> 00:09:07,422
Well, maybe their hyperdrive was damaged
in the battle with the Wraith.
150
00:09:07,464 --> 00:09:08,674
It happens with us all the time.
151
00:09:08,715 --> 00:09:09,633
I mean...
152
00:09:09,716 --> 00:09:13,887
...maybe it conked out on the way and they were force
to continue to as close as light speed as possible...
153
00:09:13,929 --> 00:09:17,266
...that would explain how they got a million light years
away from Pegasus without having to leave a million years ago.
154
00:09:17,307 --> 00:09:19,351
You know the subspace drive specs
better than I do, doctor...
155
00:09:19,393 --> 00:09:23,105
...but I'm not sure an Aurora-class ship has the
power to do what you're suggesting.
156
00:09:23,146 --> 00:09:24,606
Well, maybe they have a ZPM.
157
00:09:24,773 --> 00:09:26,441
That would be worth finding out.
158
00:09:26,483 --> 00:09:29,611
Okay, we need to send them a message before we get
out of range and we have to jump ahead.
159
00:09:29,653 --> 00:09:30,320
Uh... Something like uh...
160
00:09:30,362 --> 00:09:33,448
...You know, "We are humans from Earth, currently
occupying Atlantis yada yada yada."
161
00:09:33,490 --> 00:09:35,450
Why don't we just ask them to slow down?
162
00:09:35,492 --> 00:09:38,579
Colonel Caldwell, the identified
vessel is slowing down.
163
00:09:38,662 --> 00:09:40,038
Maybe they heard me.
164
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,623
No, they saw us....
165
00:09:41,790 --> 00:09:43,125
... and they're not just slowing down.
166
00:09:43,166 --> 00:09:45,586
I mean, they're slamming on the
breaks something like twenty-seven Gs.
167
00:09:45,627 --> 00:09:47,045
So now what?
168
00:09:50,048 --> 00:09:51,758
Unknown vessel...
169
00:09:51,925 --> 00:09:55,304
...I am Captain Helia of the Atlantean warship Tria.
170
00:09:56,054 --> 00:09:58,348
Our ship has suffered damage.
171
00:09:58,473 --> 00:10:02,394
We scanned your vessel and determined that it is
capable of hyperspace travel.
172
00:10:02,436 --> 00:10:05,022
We've begun deceleration maneuvers.
173
00:10:05,063 --> 00:10:08,483
Will you render assistance in the form of
hyperspace transport?
174
00:10:08,525 --> 00:10:10,819
Well, yes! Yes, of course we will!
175
00:10:12,654 --> 00:10:14,198
I don't think she can hear you.
176
00:10:14,239 --> 00:10:15,824
Open a channel
177
00:10:17,034 --> 00:10:19,912
This is Colonel Steven Caldwell of the
Earth ship Daedalus.
178
00:10:20,370 --> 00:10:23,832
It would be an honor to render assistance
in any way we possibly can.
179
00:10:26,502 --> 00:10:27,878
We're gonna meet Ancients.
180
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,796
I mean, flesh and blood Ancients
who know...
181
00:10:29,838 --> 00:10:32,382
...what everything is and how everything works!
I mean, I don't even know what to ask first!
182
00:10:32,466 --> 00:10:35,802
Well, it's gonna be a couple hours before we
can match velocity for transport.
183
00:10:35,844 --> 00:10:38,096
That should give you enough time
to write out that list.
184
00:10:38,138 --> 00:10:39,681
Right. Right!
185
00:10:41,517 --> 00:10:42,726
They were battle-scarred...
186
00:10:42,768 --> 00:10:46,104
..and already well on their way to Earth when
their hyperdrive finally gave out on them.
187
00:10:46,146 --> 00:10:48,774
They decided it was best to
continue forward than go back.
188
00:10:48,815 --> 00:10:50,150
And how many survivors?
189
00:10:50,192 --> 00:10:51,568
Just over a hundred.
190
00:10:51,610 --> 00:10:54,029
Word has already begun to
spread amongst my people.
191
00:10:54,071 --> 00:10:56,198
They believe this return was
foretold...
192
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,243
...That it marks the turning in the
tide in the war against the Wraith.
193
00:10:59,284 --> 00:11:00,661
Well, I don't know about that.
194
00:11:00,786 --> 00:11:01,870
Dr. Weir?
195
00:11:01,912 --> 00:11:04,998
The Daedalus is ready to beam down
our people and the Ancient delegation.
196
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,291
Thank you.
< We're ready to go, sir.>
197
00:11:12,714 --> 00:11:13,924
Dr. Weir...
198
00:11:14,007 --> 00:11:16,426
...Ronon, Teyla, this is Helia,
199
00:11:16,468 --> 00:11:18,762
Captain of the Ancient ship Tria.
200
00:11:18,804 --> 00:11:20,013
It's an honor to meet you.
201
00:11:20,264 --> 00:11:21,640
Thank you,
202
00:11:21,682 --> 00:11:25,602
nd from what I'm told, you've done a remarkable
job of preserving our city.
203
00:11:25,853 --> 00:11:28,438
Well, we did what we could
with what we had.
204
00:11:29,106 --> 00:11:30,941
I need to speak with the leader of your people.
205
00:11:30,983 --> 00:11:33,110
I'm in charge of the Atlantis expedition.
206
00:11:33,151 --> 00:11:35,195
You misunderstand me, Doctor Weir.
207
00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:38,907
I need to talk to the one who can
speak for all the people of Earth.
208
00:11:39,992 --> 00:11:41,952
That can certainly be arranged.
209
00:11:41,994 --> 00:11:43,579
But may I ask why?
210
00:11:46,373 --> 00:11:47,416
What is that?!
211
00:11:47,499 --> 00:11:49,418
How come I've never seen that?
212
00:11:55,257 --> 00:11:56,842
Excuse me, what's going on?
213
00:11:57,050 --> 00:11:59,178
Thank you for all that you've
done, Doctor Weir....
214
00:11:59,219 --> 00:12:02,472
...But your guardianship of this city
is longer necessary.
215
00:12:03,182 --> 00:12:05,851
The city is now under my control.
216
00:12:11,940 --> 00:12:13,358
We were in a battle with Wraith cruisers.
217
00:12:14,735 --> 00:12:16,820
They proved too much for us
218
00:12:17,196 --> 00:12:19,781
So we started back to Atlantis.
219
00:12:20,199 --> 00:12:23,744
Only to be told that the final evacuation
was already in progress.
220
00:12:23,785 --> 00:12:26,747
I decided to push on to Earth
and join the evacuees,...
221
00:12:26,872 --> 00:12:31,335
...and even when our hyperdrive failed, we
decided to continue on.
222
00:12:31,543 --> 00:12:34,254
I can't begin to imagine what you...
223
00:12:34,463 --> 00:12:37,549
...and you're crew must be
going through right now.
224
00:12:37,841 --> 00:12:40,719
We owe you and your people a debt of gratitude...
225
00:12:41,136 --> 00:12:44,014
...But we've just returned home....
226
00:12:44,264 --> 00:12:47,809
...Home to a place we though
we'd never set eyes on again...
227
00:12:48,268 --> 00:12:50,687
...and we need some time...
228
00:12:51,146 --> 00:12:52,356
alone.
229
00:12:52,814 --> 00:12:54,733
You do know that...
230
00:12:54,775 --> 00:12:59,196
..we've shed our own fair share of blood
defending the city from the Wraith?
231
00:12:59,446 --> 00:13:01,240
By your own admission...
232
00:13:01,281 --> 00:13:03,659
...you are responsible for waking the Wraith..
233
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,203
Right...
234
00:13:06,245 --> 00:13:08,747
And by your own admission...
235
00:13:08,789 --> 00:13:12,334
...you are responsible for the emergence
of the Wraith as a species.
236
00:13:12,376 --> 00:13:15,379
The fact is if it weren't for our expedition,
237
00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:17,256
..there would be no Atlantis...
238
00:13:17,297 --> 00:13:20,008
No one is saying the city doesn't
belong to you...
239
00:13:20,050 --> 00:13:22,386
...or that you don't belong here.
240
00:13:22,761 --> 00:13:25,931
- What we're saying is that--
- What we're asking.
241
00:13:29,351 --> 00:13:32,145
What we're... asking...
242
00:13:32,563 --> 00:13:34,815
...is that we be allowed to stay here.
243
00:13:34,857 --> 00:13:38,777
There is so much that we can learn from you...
244
00:13:38,819 --> 00:13:43,282
...and in return we can offer supplies,
manpower, the kind of support you'll need...
245
00:13:43,323 --> 00:13:46,201
...to restore Atlantis to its former glory..
246
00:13:46,243 --> 00:13:50,205
The day will come when your people will
once again have a place here....
247
00:13:51,415 --> 00:13:54,960
...But that is not this day.
248
00:13:58,964 --> 00:14:00,382
You should be in there.
249
00:14:00,424 --> 00:14:03,093
I don't know what I could say at this
point that would make any difference.
250
00:14:03,135 --> 00:14:04,303
You're right.
251
00:14:04,386 --> 00:14:05,929
They want us out of here.
252
00:14:05,971 --> 00:14:07,222
But why?
253
00:14:07,264 --> 00:14:09,349
There are maybe a hundred or so of them.
254
00:14:09,391 --> 00:14:11,268
I mean, they can use us. They may
even need us.
255
00:14:11,310 --> 00:14:16,231
What if you were forced from your home by war,
only to return to find someone on your couch..
256
00:14:16,273 --> 00:14:19,067
...eating your Cheetos, watching your TV?
257
00:14:19,318 --> 00:14:20,777
Well, I'd be fine with that.
258
00:14:20,903 --> 00:14:22,487
No, you wouldn't.
259
00:14:26,283 --> 00:14:28,118
How go talks, sir?
260
00:14:28,202 --> 00:14:29,328
No talks.
261
00:14:29,411 --> 00:14:31,038
Listening is what we did.
262
00:14:31,371 --> 00:14:33,999
It was essentially a transitional meeting.
263
00:14:34,041 --> 00:14:37,794
They needed to know how much time we
needed to vacate the city.
264
00:14:37,836 --> 00:14:40,964
I said forty-eight hours unless
you need more.
265
00:14:41,006 --> 00:14:42,382
No,
266
00:14:42,633 --> 00:14:44,343
it should be enough.
267
00:14:45,260 --> 00:14:47,221
That's it? We're going to just
take this lying down?
268
00:14:47,304 --> 00:14:48,430
We rescued them!
269
00:14:48,472 --> 00:14:49,973
And they're immensely grateful.
270
00:14:50,015 --> 00:14:51,099
Well, they're not showing it.
271
00:14:51,141 --> 00:14:54,269
From their point of view, Doctor McKay, they're
being extremely generous.
272
00:14:54,436 --> 00:14:58,690
Keep in mind that when they left Atlantis, we were
basically a hunter gatherer species.
273
00:14:58,732 --> 00:15:01,860
Well, did you remind them that we hunted and
gathered them out of the void between galaxies.
274
00:15:01,902 --> 00:15:04,071
-...They would still be stuck there!
- We should have left them out there.
275
00:15:04,112 --> 00:15:06,573
I know you feel as though you're losing the city.
276
00:15:06,615 --> 00:15:08,992
This isn't just about losing a city, Richard.
277
00:15:09,034 --> 00:15:14,289
I mean this is about losing an opportunity to talk
with and learn from living, breathing Ancients.
278
00:15:14,581 --> 00:15:17,501
They are willing over time...
279
00:15:18,043 --> 00:15:21,338
...to let us back in the city.
Just not right now.
280
00:15:21,755 --> 00:15:26,468
That way we get all the benefit of Atlantis with
very little of the risks or expense.
281
00:15:26,510 --> 00:15:29,972
It's not like we don't have our
own galaxy to worry about.
282
00:15:30,806 --> 00:15:32,099
Colonel,
283
00:15:32,140 --> 00:15:35,060
...I'd like you to supervise the withdrawal.
284
00:15:36,019 --> 00:15:37,145
Yes, sir.
285
00:15:37,396 --> 00:15:38,689
Go ahead.
286
00:15:42,526 --> 00:15:45,487
Can I talk to you for a moment?
287
00:15:47,239 --> 00:15:51,326
I didn't want to say this in front of McKay
because I know he'd want the job.
288
00:15:51,702 --> 00:15:52,953
What job?
289
00:15:52,995 --> 00:15:55,539
The Ancients are willing to leave
someone behind...
290
00:15:55,581 --> 00:15:58,375
...as a liaison kind of a...
291
00:15:59,042 --> 00:16:00,669
...ambassador, if you will.
292
00:16:00,711 --> 00:16:03,714
- You know I would be more than happy to...
- It's not gonna be you.
293
00:16:04,798 --> 00:16:07,801
Tell me someone who's more
qualified for that job.
294
00:16:07,968 --> 00:16:09,219
I can't,...
295
00:16:10,137 --> 00:16:12,514
...but the IOA wants Woolsey..
296
00:16:12,556 --> 00:16:13,640
Woolsey?
297
00:16:14,224 --> 00:16:15,309
Yeah.
298
00:16:16,185 --> 00:16:18,228
To paraphrase the Ancients...
299
00:16:18,270 --> 00:16:20,522
...lthey think you won't be able...
300
00:16:22,024 --> 00:16:23,358
...to let go.
301
00:16:23,483 --> 00:16:27,279
So they are gonna just shut us out
after everything we've done here?
302
00:16:27,487 --> 00:16:28,655
I know.
303
00:16:31,283 --> 00:16:32,492
Look...
304
00:16:34,411 --> 00:16:36,872
..you've done a hell of a job here...
305
00:16:40,083 --> 00:16:42,211
...I am sorry that it's ending this
way..
306
00:16:42,252 --> 00:16:43,587
I suppose...
307
00:16:43,921 --> 00:16:45,506
...I can take comfort...
308
00:16:45,589 --> 00:16:47,257
...in the fact that...
309
00:16:47,591 --> 00:16:51,136
...out of all this expedition could
have ended....
310
00:16:52,721 --> 00:16:54,890
...this is definitely not the worse.
311
00:16:58,435 --> 00:16:59,645
Thank you.
312
00:17:00,187 --> 00:17:01,230
Yeah.
313
00:17:24,962 --> 00:17:26,004
Hey,
314
00:17:26,046 --> 00:17:27,506
you guys all packed up?
315
00:17:28,382 --> 00:17:30,175
I really don't have that much stuff.
316
00:17:30,300 --> 00:17:31,218
Right.
317
00:17:31,260 --> 00:17:33,720
Most of my belongings are already
with my people.
318
00:17:33,762 --> 00:17:36,056
How's that going, by the way?
319
00:17:36,098 --> 00:17:38,934
...Are the Ancients allowing the Athosians to stay on
the mainland?
320
00:17:38,976 --> 00:17:42,354
They have found us a suitable planet to relocate to
321
00:17:42,396 --> 00:17:44,356
one with our own Stargate.
322
00:17:44,481 --> 00:17:45,816
How did that go down?
323
00:17:45,858 --> 00:17:50,195
It was not the homecoming of the
ancestors my people envisioned.
324
00:17:51,780 --> 00:17:53,740
You guys want any of this stuff?
325
00:17:54,616 --> 00:17:58,412
Johnny Cash poster? Skateboard?
Sudoku books?
326
00:18:11,508 --> 00:18:14,887
You know, you guys are welcome to
come back with us, right?
327
00:18:14,928 --> 00:18:17,097
My place is with my people.
328
00:18:17,472 --> 00:18:21,185
And I can't leave this galaxy until
every last Wraith are dead.
329
00:18:21,435 --> 00:18:22,477
Well,
330
00:18:23,061 --> 00:18:25,147
I just had to say it out loud.
331
00:18:25,564 --> 00:18:29,902
You too should know that we would be honored
if you decided to stay with us, John.
332
00:18:29,943 --> 00:18:32,905
Yeah, well I think the Air Force has
got other plans for me.
333
00:18:32,946 --> 00:18:35,657
We also had to just say it out loud.
334
00:18:36,074 --> 00:18:37,201
Right.
335
00:18:40,746 --> 00:18:41,872
Well...
336
00:18:42,623 --> 00:18:43,957
.. this sucks.
337
00:18:44,791 --> 00:18:46,043
Yeah...
338
00:18:47,169 --> 00:18:50,047
I'm not-- I'm not, I'm not good ..
339
00:18:50,506 --> 00:18:51,924
...at goodbyes.
340
00:18:51,965 --> 00:18:54,676
Our paths will cross again, John Sheppard.
341
00:18:54,718 --> 00:18:56,345
Of that I am sure.
342
00:18:56,803 --> 00:18:59,431
Before our paths uncross,
343
00:19:00,599 --> 00:19:02,726
...would you give me a hand
with these boxes?
344
00:19:02,935 --> 00:19:04,937
I'll throw in pizza and some beer and...
345
00:19:04,978 --> 00:19:06,104
Popcorn?
346
00:19:06,146 --> 00:19:08,023
And popcorn for the...
347
00:19:08,065 --> 00:19:09,441
Oh, my God!
348
00:19:13,820 --> 00:19:17,574
Well, I was offered a position at Masaryk University
right before I came here.
349
00:19:17,616 --> 00:19:19,826
I imagine I could work there if I wanted to.
350
00:19:20,077 --> 00:19:21,620
What about you, Carson?
351
00:19:21,828 --> 00:19:24,706
Well, they offer me a surgery position
at Stargate Command.
352
00:19:24,873 --> 00:19:25,874
You?
353
00:19:25,916 --> 00:19:28,168
I don't know. Area 51, I guess.
354
00:19:28,460 --> 00:19:31,296
Tool around with as much of the database we
were able to bring back with us.
355
00:19:31,338 --> 00:19:34,883
You know in a way I look forward to focusing on
a single problem for a while.
356
00:19:35,092 --> 00:19:38,178
Being continually pulled out off of research
to put out fires can be,...
357
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:39,555
...you know, frustrating.
358
00:19:39,596 --> 00:19:40,889
I suppose so.
359
00:19:41,098 --> 00:19:42,975
I just don't know how many times I'm
gonna be asked...
360
00:19:43,016 --> 00:19:46,144
...to save the day at the eleventh
hour at Area 51.
361
00:19:46,186 --> 00:19:48,063
Oh, I'm sure it'll come up.
362
00:19:48,105 --> 00:19:50,065
No, not as often as I'd like.
363
00:19:50,899 --> 00:19:52,109
Well, ..
364
00:19:52,901 --> 00:19:54,278
...I must admit...
365
00:19:54,570 --> 00:19:57,114
...It's been a pleasure working with you both.
366
00:19:58,615 --> 00:20:00,576
In fact out of all the people...
367
00:20:01,827 --> 00:20:04,121
You are not tearing up on me, are you?
368
00:20:04,246 --> 00:20:06,748
- Oh yes, he's tearing up.
- Well no...
369
00:20:06,790 --> 00:20:08,458
Now you've ruined it.
370
00:20:08,625 --> 00:20:09,877
Well, I'm sorry.
371
00:20:10,127 --> 00:20:11,879
I was just about to say something.
372
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,964
Well, it's not like were not going
to see each other at the Gate.
373
00:20:14,006 --> 00:20:15,007
No.
374
00:20:16,008 --> 00:20:17,384
of course not.
375
00:20:17,426 --> 00:20:19,219
I don't know what I was thinking.
376
00:20:19,428 --> 00:20:20,804
What was it?
377
00:20:20,929 --> 00:20:22,264
- What?
- What you were gonna say?
378
00:20:22,306 --> 00:20:24,391
Just say it. Now I'm curious.
379
00:20:27,352 --> 00:20:28,812
I was going to say ...
380
00:20:29,980 --> 00:20:32,024
...Goodbye, Rodney.
381
00:20:54,129 --> 00:20:54,922
Colonel.
382
00:20:54,963 --> 00:20:56,673
- Doctor.
- Come in.
383
00:20:56,882 --> 00:20:58,467
We are way ahead of schedule...
384
00:20:58,509 --> 00:21:01,470
...Ready to head out at 08:00, Daedalus is going
to take most of the gear;
385
00:21:01,512 --> 00:21:04,598
people and their odds and ends will make their way
through the Stargate. Thanks...
386
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,017
-...to the Ancients' new ZPM..
- Good.
387
00:21:07,643 --> 00:21:08,727
I guess...
388
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,438
You're taking this rather well.
389
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:12,731
Actually...
390
00:21:13,357 --> 00:21:14,775
...I'm pissed.
391
00:21:14,816 --> 00:21:18,362
For one thing, I'm only a quarter of the way
through War and Peace.
392
00:21:18,612 --> 00:21:22,741
I can't imagine what I can possibly
do for a living know.
393
00:21:22,908 --> 00:21:25,202
Every government in the world is
going to offer you a job.
394
00:21:25,244 --> 00:21:26,578
Yeah, but...
395
00:21:26,662 --> 00:21:28,163
...not like this.
396
00:21:29,373 --> 00:21:30,791
Yeah, you're right.
397
00:21:31,250 --> 00:21:33,752
It's all downhill from here.
You've peaked.
398
00:21:35,003 --> 00:21:38,924
Life isn't fair.
It's just fairer than death.
399
00:21:39,967 --> 00:21:41,260
Oscar Wilde?
400
00:21:41,301 --> 00:21:42,678
"Princess Bride"
401
00:21:42,719 --> 00:21:43,929
Good movie.
402
00:21:48,350 --> 00:21:50,769
You're gonna be ready to head
out at 08:00?
403
00:21:50,811 --> 00:21:52,646
Yeah, yeah, I should be.
404
00:21:52,896 --> 00:21:53,939
You?
405
00:21:53,981 --> 00:21:55,399
I've just one or two...
406
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:56,984
...hundred things to do...
407
00:21:57,442 --> 00:21:59,403
I'll see you at the gate.
408
00:22:13,917 --> 00:22:17,337
Grounding stations in the south gate is a bit twitchy.
It got shot up. It wasn't our fault.
409
00:22:17,379 --> 00:22:19,673
- Uh... you need to look at that--
- I'm we'll find our way, Doctor.
410
00:22:19,715 --> 00:22:22,509
- No, I'm sure you will, but um... you should also uh...
- Rodney!
411
00:22:25,846 --> 00:22:28,557
Ah... right... yes... well... I gotta go.
412
00:22:30,809 --> 00:22:32,686
You have been good friends...
413
00:22:32,936 --> 00:22:35,314
...to all the people of this galaxy..
414
00:22:44,156 --> 00:22:45,324
Farewell.
415
00:22:46,909 --> 00:22:48,202
Take care.
416
00:22:55,417 --> 00:22:56,502
Bye.
417
00:22:57,711 --> 00:22:58,545
Hi.
418
00:23:25,614 --> 00:23:28,784
Ow!
Get your damn weight off this
foot and you'll be fine.
419
00:23:29,576 --> 00:23:32,496
Tell me you didn't engage
the Ori, Colonel.
420
00:23:32,538 --> 00:23:35,332
We didn't engage the Ori, sir.
421
00:23:35,374 --> 00:23:40,921
Bambus here was inspecting curious fuana when he
discovered the ground underneath him wasn't stable.
422
00:23:40,963 --> 00:23:43,841
He fell twenty feet into a babbling
brook.
423
00:23:43,882 --> 00:23:47,344
Wallace there was trying to help him get back
up when he lost his footing...
424
00:23:47,427 --> 00:23:49,805
- ..and broke his ankle..
- I see.
425
00:23:49,972 --> 00:23:53,183
Never thought I'd miss Rodney McKay
being a member of my team.
426
00:23:53,225 --> 00:23:55,435
Well, chemistry doesn't happen overnight.
427
00:23:55,477 --> 00:23:58,188
We'll debrief as soon as Wallace is
out of the infirmary.
428
00:23:58,230 --> 00:23:59,189
Yes, sir.
429
00:23:59,231 --> 00:24:00,983
Off-world activation.
430
00:24:01,984 --> 00:24:04,486
Hold on, Colonel.
You may get a kick out of this....
431
00:24:04,528 --> 00:24:06,446
t should be General O'Neill...
432
00:24:06,488 --> 00:24:08,907
..and his scheduled check-in from Atlantis.
433
00:24:08,949 --> 00:24:10,450
He went back, sir?
434
00:24:10,492 --> 00:24:12,786
Woolsey needed a little back up.
435
00:24:12,828 --> 00:24:15,998
Apparently the Ancients find him a bit trying.
436
00:24:16,582 --> 00:24:17,958
Imagine that.
437
00:24:19,418 --> 00:24:21,545
- General!
- General!
438
00:24:22,171 --> 00:24:23,922
Is that Sheppard there with you?
439
00:24:24,256 --> 00:24:25,465
Yes, sir.
440
00:24:25,799 --> 00:24:28,677
Talks are proceeding at an acceptable pace but the real news
441
00:24:28,719 --> 00:24:30,679
...is the Pegasus Replicators...
442
00:24:30,721 --> 00:24:32,222
...are heading back to Atlantise...
443
00:24:32,264 --> 00:24:34,808
- ...to make another run at the city.
- They are?
444
00:24:34,850 --> 00:24:37,227
No one here seems to be that
worried about it.
445
00:24:37,269 --> 00:24:38,270
Why not?
446
00:24:38,353 --> 00:24:39,688
They're Ancients.
447
00:24:39,771 --> 00:24:43,233
Apparently these Replicators have a
law in the base code that...
448
00:24:43,275 --> 00:24:45,903
...makes it impossible for them
to harm their creators.
449
00:24:45,944 --> 00:24:47,738
And they're expecting to find us.
450
00:24:47,779 --> 00:24:51,700
According to Helia, they're going to run
into some kind of nasty surprise.
451
00:24:51,825 --> 00:24:56,163
So you can pass it on to Doctor McKay that
if you and he hadn't rescued the Ancients...
452
00:24:56,205 --> 00:24:58,290
..and return Atlantis to their care...
453
00:24:58,332 --> 00:25:00,125
... We might have lost the city anyway.
454
00:25:00,167 --> 00:25:01,293
Right.
455
00:25:01,460 --> 00:25:03,545
Right, well we as well get
back to our talks...
456
00:25:03,587 --> 00:25:05,506
...and talks and talks.
457
00:25:05,756 --> 00:25:07,090
O'Neill out.
458
00:25:09,551 --> 00:25:13,597
Sir, I'd be happy to talk to you more
about these Replicator guys...
459
00:25:13,639 --> 00:25:16,016
Nah, it sounds like they've got
everything under control.
460
00:25:16,058 --> 00:25:17,351
Yes, sir.
461
00:25:18,268 --> 00:25:19,811
I guess they do...
462
00:25:21,772 --> 00:25:23,440
I hate it here.
463
00:25:23,524 --> 00:25:25,025
How is that possible?
464
00:25:25,150 --> 00:25:26,443
It's true.
465
00:25:26,485 --> 00:25:28,695
Look, they gave you everything you
wanted: Your own lab....
466
00:25:28,737 --> 00:25:29,947
It's too big.
467
00:25:29,988 --> 00:25:33,742
- Hand-picked assistants...
- Yes, sycophants, every one of them.
468
00:25:33,784 --> 00:25:35,619
Even your own choice of projects.
469
00:25:35,661 --> 00:25:36,912
Well, that's not true..
470
00:25:36,954 --> 00:25:39,915
Well, other than going back to Atlantis I mean.
471
00:25:40,624 --> 00:25:42,501
You know the truth is, I--...
472
00:25:43,377 --> 00:25:44,461
What?
473
00:25:44,711 --> 00:25:45,671
Okay, I...
474
00:25:45,712 --> 00:25:48,131
...don't want to use the term
"lonely", but uh...
475
00:25:48,173 --> 00:25:50,008
there are certain people who....
476
00:25:50,050 --> 00:25:51,385
... I miss.
477
00:25:51,510 --> 00:25:52,636
Me?
478
00:25:53,178 --> 00:25:55,013
You?! You, I'm talking to on
the phone right now...
479
00:25:55,055 --> 00:25:57,808
...and having dinner with tomorrow. So...
480
00:25:58,016 --> 00:26:01,103
......not so much. But...
Other people who I may never see again.
481
00:26:01,144 --> 00:26:03,689
Like, even Elizabeth, she doesn't
return any of my calls.
482
00:26:03,730 --> 00:26:05,274
I know what you mean.
483
00:26:06,149 --> 00:26:09,069
Hey, at least you still get to go
off-world with a team of your own.
484
00:26:09,111 --> 00:26:11,488
Oh yeah, the best and the brightest.
485
00:26:12,531 --> 00:26:13,657
All right,
486
00:26:13,907 --> 00:26:15,742
see you tomorrow night.
487
00:26:15,909 --> 00:26:17,536
Yeah, wouldn't miss it.
488
00:26:17,703 --> 00:26:19,121
Hey, you know I--
489
00:26:22,791 --> 00:26:23,876
Hm, See ya.
490
00:26:39,850 --> 00:26:40,934
Carson.
491
00:26:41,101 --> 00:26:42,269
Elizabeth.
492
00:26:42,311 --> 00:26:43,687
Well, this is a surprise.
493
00:26:43,854 --> 00:26:47,357
Well, you didn't return my messages
so I thought I'd just stop by.
494
00:26:47,691 --> 00:26:50,152
Oh yeah, sorry about that.
Come in.
495
00:26:50,194 --> 00:26:51,528
Thank you.
496
00:26:53,697 --> 00:26:55,115
Oh excuse the mess.
497
00:26:55,157 --> 00:26:57,534
I wasn't really expecting company.
498
00:26:57,576 --> 00:27:01,538
Oh, please. I'm from a family of seven.
Our home was never this clean.
499
00:27:01,705 --> 00:27:02,915
You look good.
500
00:27:03,707 --> 00:27:05,167
Ah, well, thanks for lying.
501
00:27:05,292 --> 00:27:07,252
How is the SGC treating you?
502
00:27:07,294 --> 00:27:10,672
It's only been six weeks so I'm still
settling in. Well it's good.
503
00:27:10,714 --> 00:27:11,798
Interesting work.
504
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,634
- Kind people.
- Good.
505
00:27:13,884 --> 00:27:15,427
That's good.
506
00:27:15,928 --> 00:27:17,137
How about you?
507
00:27:17,179 --> 00:27:19,223
Oh you know keeping busy.
508
00:27:19,389 --> 00:27:20,849
Oh yeah, doing what?
509
00:27:20,891 --> 00:27:22,476
I've been doing a bit of writing.
510
00:27:22,518 --> 00:27:25,687
- I uh... working on my memoirs.
- Your memoirs?
511
00:27:25,812 --> 00:27:27,523
About your time in Atlantis?
512
00:27:27,564 --> 00:27:29,024
Yes, somewhat.
513
00:27:30,108 --> 00:27:32,945
And on what planet do you
expect to publish it?
514
00:27:32,986 --> 00:27:36,740
I suppose it's for posterity as
much as anything else....
515
00:27:36,907 --> 00:27:38,200
And for me...
516
00:27:38,325 --> 00:27:41,161
Just trying to get it straight
in my own head.
517
00:27:42,162 --> 00:27:44,331
It all went by so fast,
you know?
518
00:27:44,373 --> 00:27:46,416
Aye, that it did.
519
00:27:50,003 --> 00:27:51,338
Elizabeth...
520
00:27:52,297 --> 00:27:54,341
we're all a bit worried about you.
521
00:27:55,008 --> 00:27:57,094
You're worried about me? Why?
522
00:27:57,135 --> 00:27:59,555
Well, you don't return phone calls and...
523
00:27:59,638 --> 00:28:02,975
...the few times you've run into
people, they say you seem distant..
524
00:28:05,561 --> 00:28:06,937
I'm just...
525
00:28:07,604 --> 00:28:10,941
- I'm just trying to move on...
- By writing your memoirs?
526
00:28:17,406 --> 00:28:18,699
Elizabeth...
527
00:28:19,408 --> 00:28:21,994
...why haven't you taken
another position?
528
00:28:22,035 --> 00:28:23,829
The SGC has asked me to consult the..
529
00:28:23,871 --> 00:28:27,791
...IOA and Homeworld Securities with
the ongoing conversations with the Ancients.
530
00:28:27,833 --> 00:28:30,502
You don't need to be here for that.
You can take another position...
531
00:28:30,544 --> 00:28:33,005
...and consult them from
a secure phone line..
532
00:28:35,924 --> 00:28:38,093
I guess I'm just not ready yet.
533
00:28:39,344 --> 00:28:40,429
Look,
534
00:28:40,470 --> 00:28:42,139
...Rodney is flying in tomorrow.
535
00:28:42,181 --> 00:28:44,766
John and I are taking him for dinner.
You should come.
536
00:28:44,975 --> 00:28:49,146
- Tomorrow? Oh gosh, tomorrow I...
- I'll pick you up at seven.
537
00:29:01,825 --> 00:29:03,994
That seems like a pretty big ship.
538
00:29:04,745 --> 00:29:08,832
You're sure only sending one Jumper
up to fend it off is the right thing to do?
539
00:29:08,874 --> 00:29:11,168
It is impossible for them to harm us.
540
00:29:12,002 --> 00:29:14,087
I can use some enemies like that.
541
00:29:14,129 --> 00:29:16,465
We have established communications,
commander.
542
00:29:16,507 --> 00:29:18,342
This is Commander Helia.
543
00:29:18,467 --> 00:29:21,762
The city you are approaching is once
again under Lantean control...
544
00:29:21,803 --> 00:29:25,557
..stand down and return to your planet
immediately or you will be...
545
00:29:26,225 --> 00:29:29,269
- I thought you said they couldn't harm you!
- Raise the shield!
546
00:29:33,482 --> 00:29:34,775
You should call her.
547
00:29:35,692 --> 00:29:36,985
Who? Cadman?
548
00:29:37,236 --> 00:29:39,404
You guys did make a cute couple.
549
00:29:39,821 --> 00:29:41,240
It didn't work out.
550
00:29:41,615 --> 00:29:44,785
May have something to do with our
first kiss being through Rodney.
551
00:29:44,826 --> 00:29:48,038
Oh, I thought we made a solemn vow
to never speak of that again?
552
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,540
I remember no such thing!
553
00:29:49,873 --> 00:29:50,999
You know what?
554
00:29:51,291 --> 00:29:52,709
It's getting late.
555
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,253
Since when do you sleep?
556
00:29:54,962 --> 00:29:56,213
Hm... Since I got back.
557
00:29:56,255 --> 00:29:57,756
I have a lot of catching up to do
558
00:29:58,298 --> 00:30:01,635
But it's been lovely seeing
you all again.
559
00:30:01,969 --> 00:30:03,512
Thank you for getting me out.
560
00:30:03,554 --> 00:30:06,181
No, we should thank you.
You're taking us to dinner, right?
561
00:30:06,265 --> 00:30:07,349
Cheeky!
562
00:30:10,727 --> 00:30:11,603
Sheppard.
563
00:30:14,439 --> 00:30:15,440
McKay.
564
00:30:18,485 --> 00:30:19,611
Hello?
565
00:30:19,987 --> 00:30:22,865
I didn't bring my bloody cell phone
with me. What's happening?
566
00:30:22,990 --> 00:30:26,285
We got this data burst about
twenty minutes ago.
567
00:30:29,580 --> 00:30:32,624
Atlantis is under attack
from Replicators.
568
00:30:32,833 --> 00:30:36,378
Somehow they figured out how
to override their programming.
569
00:30:36,628 --> 00:30:41,425
The Ancients were taking off guard and
have lost most of the city already.
570
00:30:41,884 --> 00:30:44,553
Request immediate evacuation!
571
00:30:44,595 --> 00:30:45,888
They're coming!
572
00:30:48,974 --> 00:30:51,143
They never made it to the Gate.
573
00:30:59,443 --> 00:31:02,321
I was informed they had a law
written into their base code...
574
00:31:02,362 --> 00:31:05,073
...hat made it impossible for
them to harm the Ancients.
575
00:31:05,115 --> 00:31:06,909
How the hell did this happen?
576
00:31:09,536 --> 00:31:14,374
It is remotely possible that in trying to
rewrite Niam's base code, I...
577
00:31:14,416 --> 00:31:17,669
We... may have opened the door
for them to make other changes?
578
00:31:17,711 --> 00:31:18,962
You did this?
579
00:31:19,129 --> 00:31:22,674
At the time we thought it was the
only possible way to save the city.
580
00:31:22,716 --> 00:31:26,512
How it happened doesn't matter.
They may have changed it on their own.
The question is...
581
00:31:27,179 --> 00:31:28,430
...how do we fix it?
582
00:31:28,472 --> 00:31:30,474
That's why I called you in.
583
00:31:31,016 --> 00:31:32,643
I have my orders.
584
00:31:33,018 --> 00:31:34,770
The Daedalus is already on the way.
585
00:31:34,811 --> 00:31:36,939
Now what I need from you is...
586
00:31:38,273 --> 00:31:41,235
..what's the best way to get a
nuke passed the shield?
587
00:31:43,737 --> 00:31:44,738
Well, I have no idea.
588
00:31:44,821 --> 00:31:46,782
I didn't call you in, doctor.
589
00:31:46,823 --> 00:31:49,326
You're going to use nuclear
weapons on Atlantis?
590
00:31:49,368 --> 00:31:50,953
It's the gateway to Earth.
591
00:31:50,994 --> 00:31:52,079
And we have an iris.
592
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:53,539
Yes, we do...
593
00:31:53,580 --> 00:31:55,582
...but thanks to your
intergalactic gate bridge...
594
00:31:55,666 --> 00:31:57,793
...all they have to do is
rewrite your macro,..
595
00:31:57,835 --> 00:32:00,379
...and they can come out anywhere
in the Milky Way.
596
00:32:00,796 --> 00:32:02,548
Yeah, but those macros are
very complicated....
597
00:32:02,589 --> 00:32:04,716
They are very complicated,
Doctor McKay.
598
00:32:04,758 --> 00:32:07,010
They just rewrote their own
damn base code.
599
00:32:07,052 --> 00:32:08,720
I think they can handle it.
600
00:32:08,887 --> 00:32:09,471
Sir,...
601
00:32:09,513 --> 00:32:11,348
General O'Neill and Woolsey
may still be alive.
602
00:32:11,390 --> 00:32:12,933
Now, I know the city like the
back of my hand.
603
00:32:12,975 --> 00:32:16,061
Just give me sixty marines
and some of Colonel Carter's new um...
604
00:32:16,103 --> 00:32:17,354
Anti-Replicator weapons.
605
00:32:17,396 --> 00:32:18,605
Yeah, those things.
606
00:32:18,647 --> 00:32:20,858
I'm sorry, Colonel.
I have standing orders.
607
00:32:20,899 --> 00:32:24,278
They happen to be General
O'Neill's standing orders.
608
00:32:24,319 --> 00:32:27,781
The Daedalus will be there in a
little under four days.
609
00:32:28,323 --> 00:32:32,160
Now how do I get a nuke
passed their shield?
610
00:32:35,914 --> 00:32:40,586
Now... those Replicator thingamajiggies
you're talking about.
611
00:32:40,711 --> 00:32:43,046
Let's just call 'em ARGs.
612
00:32:43,088 --> 00:32:45,799
They're energy weapons they disrupt
the links between the nanites cells.
613
00:32:45,841 --> 00:32:48,343
he Replicators literally fall apart
when you fire on them.
614
00:32:48,385 --> 00:32:49,511
You know uh...
615
00:32:50,095 --> 00:32:51,096
Hypothetically, ...
616
00:32:51,930 --> 00:32:55,809
...Teyla and Ronon will be more
than willing to help if we asked..
617
00:32:56,101 --> 00:32:57,978
We would need to gate into Atlantis.
618
00:32:58,020 --> 00:33:00,647
All they need to do to keep us out is
to activate the gate shield.
619
00:33:00,689 --> 00:33:03,150
Well, I did write a backdoor to
the shield program...
620
00:33:03,192 --> 00:33:04,693
...a couple years ago when
Kolya stormed the city...
621
00:33:04,735 --> 00:33:05,611
So I mean...
622
00:33:05,694 --> 00:33:07,905
...it could hypothetically,...
623
00:33:07,946 --> 00:33:09,323
..let us get into the gateroom.
624
00:33:09,364 --> 00:33:12,743
General Landry was worried about the
Replicators rewriting the bridge macro...
625
00:33:12,784 --> 00:33:14,912
...to gate them somewhere else
in the Milky Way.
626
00:33:14,953 --> 00:33:17,247
Does that mean you could
change the macro...
627
00:33:17,289 --> 00:33:19,166
...to take us somewhere else in Pegasus?
628
00:33:19,208 --> 00:33:20,584
Somewhere like uh...
629
00:33:20,667 --> 00:33:22,544
just talking here... uh...
630
00:33:23,337 --> 00:33:25,923
the Athosian settlement where
Teyla and Ronon are?
631
00:33:25,964 --> 00:33:27,090
We'd need a Jumper.
632
00:33:27,132 --> 00:33:29,384
And uh... some of those ARGs.
633
00:33:29,426 --> 00:33:32,888
And someone to make sure Landry
doesn't close the iris on us...
634
00:33:33,138 --> 00:33:34,765
...Hm.
Hypothetically.
635
00:33:34,932 --> 00:33:36,141
Of course...
636
00:33:36,225 --> 00:33:38,393
The Jumper is in its storage
area under guard.
637
00:33:38,435 --> 00:33:41,021
We need for one of us to be added
to the authorized personnel list...
638
00:33:41,063 --> 00:33:42,856
...and there is only one guy
who can do that.
639
00:33:42,898 --> 00:33:43,774
You?
640
00:33:43,982 --> 00:33:44,483
No.
641
00:33:44,525 --> 00:33:45,526
Why did you think I was gonna say me?
642
00:33:45,567 --> 00:33:47,444
I dunno. Seemed like you were
leading up to it.
643
00:33:47,486 --> 00:33:48,779
No, sadly...
644
00:33:49,029 --> 00:33:51,615
...Doctor Lee's been the one heading
up the Jumper research project.
645
00:33:51,657 --> 00:33:54,034
...Because they refuse to send
it to Area 51 for me.
646
00:33:54,076 --> 00:33:54,868
but um...
647
00:33:54,952 --> 00:33:57,871
...I think I should be able to add one of
our key cards to the authorized personnel list.
648
00:33:57,913 --> 00:33:59,831
But um... I have to do that from his office.
649
00:33:59,998 --> 00:34:00,707
So?
650
00:34:00,958 --> 00:34:03,293
Well... obviously, you need to distract him.
651
00:34:03,335 --> 00:34:04,711
Me?! How?
652
00:34:04,753 --> 00:34:06,004
Well, here's what I'm thinking.
653
00:34:06,588 --> 00:34:11,593
I gotta say I have never met a
woman this into World of Warcraft.
654
00:34:11,885 --> 00:34:13,846
It's a silent passion of mine.
655
00:34:13,887 --> 00:34:15,556
Oh, as it is with all of us.
656
00:34:15,681 --> 00:34:16,807
I'm uh...
657
00:34:17,057 --> 00:34:19,810
...level 75, Mage....
658
00:34:19,977 --> 00:34:22,479
...I'm specializing in engineering
and jewelling.
659
00:34:22,855 --> 00:34:23,814
You?
660
00:34:24,940 --> 00:34:26,400
Oh, wow... level 75?
661
00:34:27,234 --> 00:34:29,069
Eh... Me? I'm only...
662
00:34:29,236 --> 00:34:30,320
50?
663
00:34:30,737 --> 00:34:36,994
Ah, well, I had the beta of the expansion pack,
so I sorta had a leg up on most people.
664
00:34:37,452 --> 00:34:38,787
What's your race?
665
00:34:42,416 --> 00:34:43,417
Mage...
666
00:34:43,458 --> 00:34:48,130
You know, I'm trying to increase
my enchanter skills, but...
667
00:34:48,505 --> 00:34:51,508
...I don't know.
It's just not going very well.
668
00:34:51,758 --> 00:34:53,969
Oh, I disagree, Bill.
669
00:34:54,178 --> 00:34:55,262
What?
670
00:34:57,848 --> 00:35:00,100
- Oh... Uh, Rodney..
- I don't mean...
671
00:35:00,225 --> 00:35:04,855
- I'm sorry. I don't mean to be so forward
- Oh, no, no, go be forward. I....
672
00:35:05,397 --> 00:35:06,315
Well, ..
673
00:35:07,191 --> 00:35:10,110
...oh... Look, I'm not quite sure..
674
00:35:10,152 --> 00:35:12,571
..how exactly I should put this....
675
00:35:13,238 --> 00:35:15,616
A true Mage speaks his mind or...
676
00:35:15,657 --> 00:35:17,242
her mind, in your case.
677
00:35:18,118 --> 00:35:19,119
Wow! Will you look at the time?
678
00:35:19,161 --> 00:35:20,370
Where does it go, huh?
679
00:35:20,412 --> 00:35:21,413
What?
680
00:35:22,164 --> 00:35:23,874
Uh, we're late. We should um...
681
00:35:24,082 --> 00:35:25,125
But, but...
We'll see ya, Bill.
682
00:35:25,167 --> 00:35:26,168
Bye, Bill!
683
00:35:38,597 --> 00:35:39,890
Wallace.
684
00:35:40,557 --> 00:35:41,975
what are you doing here?
685
00:35:42,017 --> 00:35:44,937
General Landry wanted to talk
to me about reassignment.
686
00:35:45,187 --> 00:35:46,647
Oh, right.
687
00:35:47,231 --> 00:35:48,607
Sorry about that.
688
00:35:49,107 --> 00:35:51,276
Are you already going on missions
without me? Or...
689
00:35:51,401 --> 00:35:54,112
You should really stay off of
that ankle, son.
690
00:35:54,154 --> 00:35:56,114
Yeah, but when General Landry says "now".
691
00:35:56,156 --> 00:35:57,366
He means it's now.
692
00:35:57,824 --> 00:35:59,618
Sorry about this too.
693
00:36:03,288 --> 00:36:06,166
Can't afford to have him tell
Landry he ran into us.
694
00:36:32,609 --> 00:36:33,735
Let's move!
695
00:36:41,118 --> 00:36:42,202
You set?
696
00:36:42,244 --> 00:36:43,537
Go for it!
697
00:36:50,127 --> 00:36:51,587
What the hell?!
698
00:36:52,838 --> 00:36:55,465
General Landry to the control
room immediately!
699
00:36:55,632 --> 00:36:57,885
Okay, they may be able to get
through my hack pretty quickly.
700
00:36:57,926 --> 00:37:00,220
It's all right. I don't need much time.
701
00:37:01,096 --> 00:37:01,930
What's going on?
702
00:37:01,972 --> 00:37:03,765
I don't know, sir. The gate just
started dialing on its own.
703
00:37:03,807 --> 00:37:06,226
- It doesn't do that.
- I know that, sir.
704
00:37:08,270 --> 00:37:09,521
Close the iris.
705
00:37:09,730 --> 00:37:10,647
I can't, sir.
706
00:37:10,689 --> 00:37:11,982
Find a way, Walter.
707
00:37:12,024 --> 00:37:14,109
Colonel Sheppard, stand down!
708
00:37:14,151 --> 00:37:16,278
That is a direct order!
709
00:37:18,030 --> 00:37:20,073
Do you want me to find out
where they were going, sir?
710
00:37:20,115 --> 00:37:21,200
Don't bother.
711
00:37:21,241 --> 00:37:23,076
I already know.
712
00:37:32,628 --> 00:37:34,004
My turtles!
713
00:37:35,339 --> 00:37:36,048
What?
714
00:37:36,089 --> 00:37:39,218
I just bought some wee baby turtles,
and no one knows to feed them.
715
00:37:39,635 --> 00:37:41,470
Well, turtles are pretty hardy.
716
00:37:41,512 --> 00:37:42,888
I'm sure they'll be fine.
717
00:37:42,930 --> 00:37:44,640
And they make good soup.
718
00:37:45,807 --> 00:37:48,393
I figured I'm back for good so I
might as well get a pet...
719
00:37:48,435 --> 00:37:50,771
...and I'm allergic to cats and...
720
00:37:50,812 --> 00:37:54,566
Well, I work too long to be fair to a
dog, so I went with turtles.
721
00:37:54,691 --> 00:37:55,776
I've probably killed them.
722
00:37:55,817 --> 00:37:57,110
Anytime now, McKay.
723
00:37:57,152 --> 00:37:59,488
Oh, trust me I am going as
fast as I can.
724
00:37:59,530 --> 00:38:01,281
Poor little buggers.
725
00:38:03,867 --> 00:38:06,620
The Milky Way gate just activated.
726
00:38:07,412 --> 00:38:08,789
Did you do that?
727
00:38:09,039 --> 00:38:09,831
Nope.
728
00:38:10,082 --> 00:38:11,291
Colonel Sheppard...
729
00:38:11,458 --> 00:38:14,253
...I'm going to assume that you
are still at the midway station...
730
00:38:14,294 --> 00:38:17,464
...waiting for Doctor McKay
to rewrite his macro.
731
00:38:17,714 --> 00:38:19,258
I understand what you're doing,
Colonel....
732
00:38:19,299 --> 00:38:21,426
Hell, I'll even call it brave...
733
00:38:21,969 --> 00:38:26,181
...but if you don't turn that ship around
immediately and come back to the SGC...
734
00:38:26,223 --> 00:38:30,227
...I'll see to it personally that
your career in the military is...
735
00:38:32,729 --> 00:38:35,190
That way, I won't know what
he was going to say.
736
00:38:35,232 --> 00:38:36,233
Ok.
737
00:38:36,316 --> 00:38:37,401
okay, I've got it.
738
00:38:37,776 --> 00:38:38,694
All right.
739
00:38:39,069 --> 00:38:41,071
last chance to change our minds.
740
00:38:44,825 --> 00:38:45,951
All right...
741
00:38:46,660 --> 00:38:48,203
let's do it.
742
00:38:59,131 --> 00:39:02,467
I knew you would never come to me so
I thought I would come to you.
743
00:39:03,093 --> 00:39:05,179
Our relationship has been...
744
00:39:06,221 --> 00:39:07,514
...strained.
745
00:39:08,098 --> 00:39:10,392
But we need to put that
all behind us now.
746
00:39:11,310 --> 00:39:12,352
We do?
747
00:39:13,103 --> 00:39:16,607
Well, all your friend have returned home and
you've been asked to leave Atlantis. ...
748
00:39:16,648 --> 00:39:18,358
...So the question is...
749
00:39:18,984 --> 00:39:20,569
...what will you do next?
750
00:39:20,694 --> 00:39:23,488
We are helping my people
rebuild this settlement.
751
00:39:23,530 --> 00:39:25,574
Yes, but the settlement seems finished.
752
00:39:25,616 --> 00:39:29,411
Besides, is carpentry and clearing
brush the best use of your skills?
753
00:39:29,453 --> 00:39:30,746
Get to the point.
754
00:39:31,788 --> 00:39:33,332
Come work with me.
755
00:39:34,416 --> 00:39:36,251
I understand your reluctance.
756
00:39:36,293 --> 00:39:39,796
In the past, the Genii have hardly been a
shining beacon of hope in the galaxy.
757
00:39:39,838 --> 00:39:41,048
In the past?
758
00:39:41,215 --> 00:39:43,467
We are growing stronger everyday....
759
00:39:44,259 --> 00:39:48,305
...and we have a number of operations
planned that could seriously cripple the Wraith..
760
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,557
What do you have in mind?
761
00:39:50,933 --> 00:39:54,853
Well, I am, of course, reluctant to go
into specific details here...
762
00:39:55,521 --> 00:39:58,482
...But suffice to say the
plans are dangerous...
763
00:39:58,524 --> 00:40:01,151
....and in need of your
unique abilities.
764
00:40:01,443 --> 00:40:02,945
We're not interested.
765
00:40:03,987 --> 00:40:05,614
Well, that's too bad....
766
00:40:06,114 --> 00:40:08,534
...Although not entirely surprising.
767
00:40:09,117 --> 00:40:11,245
Give it some time, Ronon.
768
00:40:12,496 --> 00:40:16,124
I wonder how much joy you'll find
as a Tava bean farmer.
769
00:40:18,377 --> 00:40:20,379
I'm not gonna start working for the Genii.
770
00:40:20,420 --> 00:40:22,506
We would not be working for them....
771
00:40:22,548 --> 00:40:23,841
...Merely with them.
772
00:40:23,882 --> 00:40:25,259
Forget it.
773
00:40:26,301 --> 00:40:29,721
Since Atlantis was returned to
the Ancestors, the Genii...
774
00:40:29,763 --> 00:40:33,892
...are the most powerful and organized
group of humans fighting the Wraith.
775
00:40:34,601 --> 00:40:36,854
The Ancestors will do something.
776
00:40:37,145 --> 00:40:38,313
True,
777
00:40:38,355 --> 00:40:41,483
...but they neither need
nor requested our help.
778
00:40:41,525 --> 00:40:43,110
The Genii have.
779
00:40:44,403 --> 00:40:47,698
I know you are anxious
to return to the fight...
780
00:40:47,739 --> 00:40:49,908
...but my people are farmers..
781
00:40:49,950 --> 00:40:51,660
Maybe this isn't the place for me then.
782
00:40:51,702 --> 00:40:53,412
That smells great!
783
00:40:55,914 --> 00:40:57,541
Hope you save some for us?
784
00:40:57,583 --> 00:40:58,876
John?
785
00:40:59,001 --> 00:41:00,878
It's so wonderful to see you,
all of you!
786
00:41:00,919 --> 00:41:02,171
And you.
787
00:41:02,671 --> 00:41:04,882
We miss that. Whatever...
788
00:41:04,923 --> 00:41:06,258
...that is.
789
00:41:06,425 --> 00:41:08,051
Something is wrong.
790
00:41:11,555 --> 00:41:15,642
They emit a directional energy beam that
disrupts the connection between the nanites.
791
00:41:15,684 --> 00:41:17,227
Not what I asked.
792
00:41:18,395 --> 00:41:20,189
Yes, they work good.
793
00:41:20,230 --> 00:41:21,273
Good.
794
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,483
So you need us because...
795
00:41:23,525 --> 00:41:24,860
...we know our way around the city?
796
00:41:24,902 --> 00:41:27,571
I need you because
you're part of our team.
797
00:41:27,654 --> 00:41:30,365
There may be hundreds of
Replicators in Atlantis by now.
798
00:41:30,407 --> 00:41:32,117
We've got a plan. A good one.
799
00:41:32,159 --> 00:41:34,828
I wouldn't ask you to come with us
if I didn't think we could do it.
800
00:41:34,870 --> 00:41:39,333
Also General O'Neill and Richard Woolsey were
both on Atlantis when the Replicators attacked.
801
00:41:39,416 --> 00:41:41,335
There is a chance they're still alive.
802
00:41:41,376 --> 00:41:46,131
I'll be damned if I'm gonna let a bunch of
Replicators take our home away from us.
803
00:41:46,173 --> 00:41:47,216
So...
804
00:41:48,050 --> 00:41:49,468
...you with us?
805
00:42:01,271 --> 00:42:03,649
Okay, I think I've uploaded the GDO.
806
00:42:03,774 --> 00:42:05,651
It'll lower the shield when we dial.
807
00:42:05,692 --> 00:42:06,944
Go for it.
808
00:42:07,236 --> 00:42:08,278
All right.
809
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:09,696
Dialing Atlantis.
810
00:42:12,991 --> 00:42:14,076
And...
811
00:42:20,374 --> 00:42:21,625
What's happening?
812
00:42:21,792 --> 00:42:22,918
Activate the shield.
813
00:42:24,753 --> 00:42:25,712
I can't.
814
00:42:25,754 --> 00:42:27,172
That's confirmation.
815
00:42:27,214 --> 00:42:28,966
Gate shield has been lowered.
816
00:42:29,007 --> 00:42:31,134
I hope this little plan of ours works.
817
00:42:31,176 --> 00:42:32,886
You and me both.
818
00:42:47,025 --> 00:42:49,361
TO BE CONTINUED...
