1
00:00:09,859 --> 00:00:11,260
What the hell *was* that thing?
2
00:00:11,261 --> 00:00:12,816
It just appeared out of nowhere.
3
00:00:12,883 --> 00:00:14,926
And that shriek scared the crap out of me.
4
00:00:14,955 --> 00:00:16,950
Kind of a...flying monkey.
5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:18,755
Flying monkeys! What *is* this, the planet of Oz?
6
00:00:18,774 --> 00:00:21,523
Did it not appear to be *leaping* rather than flying?
7
00:00:21,552 --> 00:00:22,506
That was one hell of a leap.
8
00:00:22,573 --> 00:00:24,129
Well, I said it *looked* like a monkey?
9
00:00:24,149 --> 00:00:26,153
- you know, hair, arms, legs...
- and a beak.
10
00:00:26,276 --> 00:00:27,436
It didn't have a beak!
11
00:00:27,437 --> 00:00:28,749
Look, here? I uploaded it.
12
00:00:28,831 --> 00:00:30,225
There.
13
00:00:30,436 --> 00:00:33,190
- You know, that really clears things up
- What did you expect?
14
00:00:33,191 --> 00:00:35,211
- It was trying to kill me.
- What the hell *is* that thing?
15
00:00:35,293 --> 00:00:36,758
Well, let's send a team of biologists down there
16
00:00:36,759 --> 00:00:38,223
let *them* figure it out.
17
00:00:38,387 --> 00:00:40,286
It might be a good place for an Alpha site.
18
00:00:40,391 --> 00:00:41,938
The planet did seem suitable.
19
00:00:41,973 --> 00:00:45,090
Good climate; abundant food and water; excellent choice for an offworld base.
20
00:00:45,183 --> 00:00:46,730
Aside from the flying monkeys!
21
00:00:46,754 --> 00:00:49,250
All right, we're coming into range, Rodney.
22
00:00:56,214 --> 00:00:57,069
Rodney?
23
00:00:57,128 --> 00:00:59,343
Oh, *serious* power spike!
24
00:00:59,344 --> 00:01:00,233
That's strange.
25
00:01:00,327 --> 00:01:01,417
What's wrong?
26
00:01:01,418 --> 00:01:02,050
I don't know.
27
00:01:02,051 --> 00:01:03,960
I mean, these readings are all screwy.
28
00:01:03,961 --> 00:01:05,601
- I just lost steering.
- Really?
29
00:01:05,602 --> 00:01:07,148
The drive pods won't retract.
30
00:01:07,149 --> 00:01:07,722
*Do* something.
31
00:01:07,781 --> 00:01:09,621
I *could* if I knew what the problem was.
32
00:01:09,622 --> 00:01:10,113
Rodney.
33
00:01:10,114 --> 00:01:11,801
Just-just-just hang on, hang on.
34
00:01:11,802 --> 00:01:14,156
- Yeah, but if those pods don't retract...
- I know, I know!
35
00:01:14,157 --> 00:01:16,600
- Just-just give me a second.
- We don't *have* a second.
36
00:01:17,628 --> 00:01:19,316
What the hell?
37
00:01:20,898 --> 00:01:22,351
We just lost power.
38
00:01:22,352 --> 00:01:24,343
All right, you'd better hold on.
39
00:01:41,568 --> 00:01:45,013
40
00:01:45,166 --> 00:01:48,341

00:02:37,537 --> 00:02:40,279
Stargate Atlantis
Season 05 Episode 05
42
00:02:48,121 --> 00:02:49,715
OK, good, good.
43
00:02:49,716 --> 00:02:50,641
I was wrong.
44
00:02:50,781 --> 00:02:53,336
We still have power; we're just not getting any to the primary systems...
45
00:02:53,406 --> 00:02:55,293
or the secondary systems either.
46
00:02:55,294 --> 00:02:57,731
- Why not?
- I don't know. It's some kind of interference.
47
00:02:55,469 --> 00:02:57,707
Ghost in the Machine
48
00:02:57,754 --> 00:02:59,922
I'm getting spikes all over the place.
49
00:02:59,969 --> 00:03:01,364
It's completely haywire.
50
00:03:01,410 --> 00:03:03,367
Thank God the inertial dampeners weren't affected.
51
00:03:03,368 --> 00:03:04,739
Well, not *yet*.
52
00:03:06,110 --> 00:03:07,375
What the hell *is* that?
53
00:03:07,396 --> 00:03:08,615
It's displacement current
54
00:03:08,616 --> 00:03:10,090
high voltage. Do not let it hit you.
55
00:03:10,091 --> 00:03:10,899
Oh, you *think*?
56
00:03:10,910 --> 00:03:12,363
Perhaps it's something we picked up on the planet.
57
00:03:12,387 --> 00:03:13,500
That is doubtful, OK?
58
00:03:13,547 --> 00:03:14,848
There was nothing technological
59
00:03:14,849 --> 00:03:18,059
I mean Ancient or other on that planet.
It was totally primordial.
60
00:03:18,129 --> 00:03:20,332
I didn't detect anything unusual in the planet's magnetosphere.
61
00:03:20,333 --> 00:03:23,742
Look, it's gotta be some kind of a of a glitch in the Jumper's capacitor.
62
00:03:23,848 --> 00:03:26,145
Just give me a second, I'll figure out how to...
63
00:03:26,848 --> 00:03:27,961
Oh no.
64
00:03:28,090 --> 00:03:29,391
What?
65
00:03:29,801 --> 00:03:32,484
Hitting the Gate decreased our speed, which means we're in decaying orbit.
66
00:03:32,824 --> 00:03:35,531
Look, if we don't get power back, we're gonna burn up in the atmosphere.
67
00:03:35,684 --> 00:03:38,684
All right, try to get the D.H.D. working, we can dial the Gate, radio for help.
68
00:03:38,824 --> 00:03:42,715
Well, I'll try, but the radio communications were affected as well.
69
00:03:43,969 --> 00:03:45,211
The drive pods are powering up.
70
00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:47,297
Only one of them, and it wasn't anything *I* did.
71
00:03:47,298 --> 00:03:48,841
I mean, it just came back online.
72
00:03:48,842 --> 00:03:50,552
- By itself?
- It doesn't make any difference.
73
00:03:50,553 --> 00:03:53,505
Keep working on that D.H.D.
I'm gonna and get us back in range.
74
00:04:01,302 --> 00:04:03,282
OK, I've got bad news and I've got good news.
75
00:04:03,283 --> 00:04:04,114
What is it?
76
00:04:04,115 --> 00:04:06,030
Slim to no chance of getting the D.H.D. working.
77
00:04:06,031 --> 00:04:07,847
The system is completely out of whack.
78
00:04:07,848 --> 00:04:10,097
It's gonna take some incredibly intricate rerouting to the power...
79
00:04:10,098 --> 00:04:12,218
Whoa-whoa-whoa. What's the *good* news?
80
00:04:12,452 --> 00:04:15,769
That *was* the good news. The bad news is we lost life support.
81
00:04:15,886 --> 00:04:17,386
So, no air.
82
00:04:17,573 --> 00:04:19,355
Right. That's-that's why it's bad.
83
00:04:19,356 --> 00:04:20,550
All right. We're back in range.
84
00:04:20,551 --> 00:04:23,444
Just keep working on the D.H.D. This may be our last shot.
85
00:04:26,031 --> 00:04:27,062
What just happened?
86
00:04:27,063 --> 00:04:28,609
I don't know, but we're back online.
87
00:04:28,703 --> 00:04:29,617
D.H.D.?
88
00:04:29,869 --> 00:04:33,642
Everything! We've got propulsion, life support, you name it.
89
00:04:37,469 --> 00:04:39,449
Atlantis, this is Sheppard.
90
00:04:39,496 --> 00:04:41,652
We're coming in for approach but our systems are a little whacked.
91
00:04:41,703 --> 00:04:43,332
If we're not there in about ten seconds
92
00:04:43,333 --> 00:04:44,633
send a Jumper for us.
93
00:04:44,634 --> 00:04:45,477
Copy that, Colonel.
94
00:04:45,478 --> 00:04:47,539
You'd better brace yourself again.
95
00:05:04,787 --> 00:05:06,791
Any of the other Jumpers reporting trouble?
96
00:05:06,838 --> 00:05:09,264
No. Probably an isolated incident
97
00:05:09,265 --> 00:05:10,998
but McKay and Zelenka are checking into it.
98
00:05:10,999 --> 00:05:14,186
We should probably ground the Jumpers `til we know what the problem is, though.
99
00:05:14,187 --> 00:05:15,018
All right.
100
00:05:15,065 --> 00:05:17,139
But the planet suitable for an Alpha site?
101
00:05:17,186 --> 00:05:18,147
Yeah, perfect
102
00:05:18,182 --> 00:05:21,697
well, except for the monkey-like creature flying around,
103
00:05:21,698 --> 00:05:23,526
- but I think we can handle that.
- Monkey?
104
00:05:23,527 --> 00:05:26,796
Yeah. McKay's got some photos, he'll show `em to you.
105
00:05:27,674 --> 00:05:29,550
Did you say "flying"?
106
00:05:31,940 --> 00:05:34,214
So, how's it going, boys? D'you get it fixed?
107
00:05:34,260 --> 00:05:35,796
- There's nothing *to* fix.
- What?
108
00:05:35,797 --> 00:05:37,735
We ran a battery of tests. The Jumper's in perfect condition.
109
00:05:37,736 --> 00:05:39,180
How come the systems were all screwy?
110
00:05:39,181 --> 00:05:39,859
You got me.
111
00:05:39,860 --> 00:05:42,402
We couldn't recreate any of the so-called anomalies.
112
00:05:42,403 --> 00:05:43,492
Hey, Sammy Sceptic.
113
00:05:43,493 --> 00:05:46,551
He saw it too, as did Ronon and Teyla.
All of our primary systems went down.
114
00:05:46,552 --> 00:05:47,465
That's OK. I believe you.
115
00:05:47,466 --> 00:05:48,414
I don't think you do.
116
00:05:48,777 --> 00:05:52,598
It's just that I think that maybe the problem might have been caused by something that you unwittingly...
117
00:05:52,599 --> 00:05:54,883
I didn't do anything ? wittingly or "un"!
118
00:05:54,941 --> 00:05:57,039
OK, OK. There's nothing wrong with the Jumper.
119
00:05:57,109 --> 00:05:58,410
Well, not any more!
120
00:05:58,411 --> 00:06:00,742
- Well, I don't think there ever *was* anything...
- OK, enough!
121
00:06:32,202 --> 00:06:34,018
Oh, please!
122
00:06:35,467 --> 00:06:37,365
Control Room, this is Richard Woolsey.
123
00:06:37,611 --> 00:06:40,588
I took a wrong turn in a transporter and ended up...
124
00:06:41,197 --> 00:06:42,908
I have no idea where I am.
125
00:06:43,365 --> 00:06:45,029
But now the transporter door won't open.
126
00:06:45,030 --> 00:06:48,053
Can you locate me and open it, please?
127
00:06:50,415 --> 00:06:52,103
Hello?
128
00:06:56,606 --> 00:06:57,720
Rodney?
129
00:06:57,978 --> 00:06:59,032
Go ahead.
130
00:06:59,079 --> 00:07:02,020
Are you messin' around with the power again? The lights are flickering.
131
00:07:02,102 --> 00:07:04,997
Yeah, I'm getting reports from all over the place...
132
00:07:05,384 --> 00:07:06,626
Hello?
133
00:07:09,164 --> 00:07:10,688
Rodney?
134
00:07:10,793 --> 00:07:12,328
- Have you noticed...
- Yes.
135
00:07:12,615 --> 00:07:14,173
- Well, do you have any...
- Not yet.
136
00:07:14,449 --> 00:07:17,256
- Is it localised
- No. There are power disruptions all over the city.
137
00:07:17,431 --> 00:07:19,986
- ZedP.M.?
- Still online, plenty of power.
138
00:07:20,091 --> 00:07:22,224
It's just suddenly become...
139
00:07:22,294 --> 00:07:23,735
unstable.
140
00:07:23,829 --> 00:07:26,149
Sounds not unlike what you said happened in the Puddle Jumper.
141
00:07:26,150 --> 00:07:28,657
Yes, remarkably not unlike it.
142
00:07:29,290 --> 00:07:31,060
Well, perhaps the anomaly's spread to the city's systems.
143
00:07:31,061 --> 00:07:31,892
Naah, it's impossible.
144
00:07:31,893 --> 00:07:35,841
I disabled the network connection between the Jumper and Atlantis before we even came through the Gate.
145
00:07:39,047 --> 00:07:40,207
So.
146
00:07:40,524 --> 00:07:42,457
Coincidence, then?
147
00:07:45,270 --> 00:07:46,899
Hey, I tried to radio you.
148
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:48,172
Yeah, communications are down.
149
00:07:48,173 --> 00:07:49,672
Yeah, obviously. What's up?
150
00:07:49,673 --> 00:07:50,445
We're working on it.
151
00:07:50,446 --> 00:07:53,049
Well, I just almost got zapped by a bolt of lightning.
152
00:07:53,050 --> 00:07:54,104
What, displacement current here?
153
00:07:54,105 --> 00:07:56,296
Yeah, right there in the corridor, just like the one we had in the Jumper.
154
00:07:56,297 --> 00:07:58,042
So, *not* a coincidence.
155
00:07:58,043 --> 00:07:59,729
We just lost power to the Stargate.
156
00:07:59,835 --> 00:08:00,737
What?
157
00:08:00,738 --> 00:08:03,889
Maybe a virus uploaded itself or something.
158
00:08:03,890 --> 00:08:06,256
No-no, I disabled the Jumper's network connection for this very reason.
159
00:08:06,257 --> 00:08:09,292
There is no way the anomaly jumped to the city's systems.
160
00:08:15,530 --> 00:08:17,417
You'd better figure it out,
161
00:08:17,452 --> 00:08:20,593
because whatever was in that Jumper is now in the city.
162
00:08:27,525 --> 00:08:28,720
Where've *you* been?
163
00:08:28,834 --> 00:08:30,381
On the other side of the city.
164
00:08:30,382 --> 00:08:33,029
A transporter malfunctioned and sent me to the East Pier.
165
00:08:33,030 --> 00:08:34,541
I had to walk all the way back.
166
00:08:34,623 --> 00:08:36,732
We've got power disruptions all over the city.
167
00:08:36,850 --> 00:08:38,854
Look, nearly every system's affected.
168
00:08:38,855 --> 00:08:41,479
We think whatever's wrong with the Jumper has infected Atlantis.
169
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,541
It's one of several possibilities we're looking into.
170
00:08:43,542 --> 00:08:44,561
"Several"?
171
00:08:44,619 --> 00:08:46,459
It's a possibility, all right?
172
00:08:46,460 --> 00:08:48,721
Look, the point is, we have no idea what's going on here.
173
00:08:48,722 --> 00:08:50,232
I was almost hit by a bolt of lightning.
174
00:08:50,233 --> 00:08:51,510
Yeah, join the club!
175
00:08:51,604 --> 00:08:56,174
Look, the energy builds up in one area and then discharges in a high-voltage displacement current.
176
00:08:56,245 --> 00:08:58,073
Very erratic, and very lethal.
177
00:08:58,167 --> 00:08:59,327
I tried to radio you.
178
00:08:59,328 --> 00:09:01,155
Yeah, well, communications are also down.
179
00:09:01,156 --> 00:09:02,948
So's the Stargate.
180
00:09:03,569 --> 00:09:04,753
We can't dial Earth?
181
00:09:04,754 --> 00:09:06,499
Don't worry, all right?
182
00:09:06,698 --> 00:09:10,976
I will figure it out. I've just gotta run a few diagnostics, narrow down the...
183
00:09:16,557 --> 00:09:18,631
Well, *that* can't be good.
184
00:09:23,801 --> 00:09:25,700
OK, OK.
185
00:09:26,462 --> 00:09:29,837
We need to organise some teams, fan out through the city, keep everyone calm
186
00:09:29,838 --> 00:09:32,087
until we figure out exactly what the...
187
00:09:32,088 --> 00:09:33,247
Hey
188
00:09:35,995 --> 00:09:37,882
the laptop just booted up.
189
00:09:37,942 --> 00:09:39,571
It's probably just the battery.
190
00:09:39,618 --> 00:09:41,786
No-no-no-no, it's drawing power from the system.
191
00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:44,563
So everything's out except *your* computer?
192
00:09:44,564 --> 00:09:47,106
I am as confused as you are.
193
00:09:53,038 --> 00:09:54,163
What is that?
194
00:09:54,164 --> 00:09:56,624
Looks like some kind of a code.
195
00:09:56,822 --> 00:09:57,865
Maybe.
196
00:09:57,866 --> 00:09:58,908
Could be a message.
197
00:10:06,954 --> 00:10:08,419
"Help"?
198
00:10:10,348 --> 00:10:12,680
"Who are you?"
199
00:10:15,364 --> 00:10:18,399
"Elizabeth Weir"
200
00:10:28,510 --> 00:10:30,068
Doctor Weir?
201
00:10:31,334 --> 00:10:33,033
But she's dead.
202
00:10:33,490 --> 00:10:35,506
So we've been told.
203
00:10:38,998 --> 00:10:40,498
Perhaps
204
00:10:40,756 --> 00:10:42,959
you should answer her.
205
00:10:44,658 --> 00:10:46,252
Right.
206
00:10:48,997 --> 00:10:51,586
"Where are you?"
207
00:10:51,645 --> 00:10:53,930
"computer"
208
00:10:54,586 --> 00:10:57,141
In the computer? How can she be in the computer?
209
00:10:58,501 --> 00:11:01,454
"difficult current condition"
210
00:11:04,547 --> 00:11:06,950
"What happened to you?"
211
00:11:08,954 --> 00:11:10,477
"subspace"
212
00:11:10,641 --> 00:11:15,118
"difficult control"
213
00:11:15,223 --> 00:11:18,879
"trying to"
214
00:11:25,283 --> 00:11:28,295
"Did you do that ?"
215
00:11:34,658 --> 00:11:39,310
"Are you still there?"
216
00:11:40,630 --> 00:11:43,079
"help me"
217
00:11:48,968 --> 00:11:50,514
Right. Rodney?
218
00:11:51,593 --> 00:11:53,128
Rodney, come in.
219
00:11:54,780 --> 00:11:56,339
Rodney, can you hear me?
220
00:11:56,340 --> 00:11:57,276
Go ahead.
221
00:11:57,616 --> 00:11:58,718
I've completed the patch.
222
00:11:58,917 --> 00:12:00,832
Go ahead and try it whenever you're ready.
223
00:12:00,891 --> 00:12:02,918
OK. Fingers crossed.
224
00:12:02,969 --> 00:12:04,070
What are you doing?
225
00:12:04,129 --> 00:12:08,113
Well, whatever this entity is, it's completely overwhelming the city's systems.
226
00:12:08,231 --> 00:12:09,813
Now, it's spread out.
227
00:12:09,848 --> 00:12:14,547
It's like dozens of fragmented programmes that are fouling up power management,
228
00:12:14,548 --> 00:12:16,270
communications you name it.
229
00:12:16,328 --> 00:12:21,297
Now, I've managed to merge them, to patch them together into one incredibly large programme
230
00:12:21,298 --> 00:12:24,895
that will hopefully render our systems slightly more stable
231
00:12:24,896 --> 00:12:28,258
and allow us to better communicate with whoever or...
232
00:12:28,398 --> 00:12:30,789
whatever is that's claiming to be Doctor Weir.
233
00:12:30,790 --> 00:12:33,895
Isn't merging all these programmes potentially dangerous?
234
00:12:33,896 --> 00:12:34,809
Well, *hell*, yeah!
235
00:12:34,879 --> 00:12:38,137
But it's no more dangerous than allowing this thing to continue wreaking havoc on the city's systems.
236
00:12:38,138 --> 00:12:39,682
Or getting zapped by bolts of lighting.
237
00:12:39,683 --> 00:12:40,865
OK, so...
238
00:12:40,866 --> 00:12:45,061
Let me see if I can synthesise a voice to communicate with "Elizabeth".
239
00:12:45,155 --> 00:12:46,971
If I make the proper calibrations,
240
00:12:46,972 --> 00:12:49,444
she should be able to hear us too.
241
00:12:50,815 --> 00:12:52,244
Now...
242
00:12:52,994 --> 00:12:54,272
Elizabeth?
243
00:12:54,401 --> 00:12:55,795
Rodney.
244
00:12:57,260 --> 00:13:00,494
Is it just me, or does "Elizabeth" sound a little different?
245
00:13:00,495 --> 00:13:02,346
I'm on it. I'm on it.
246
00:13:02,582 --> 00:13:06,836
Let...me...do...that...
247
00:13:09,730 --> 00:13:11,441
Are you Elizabeth Weir?
248
00:13:11,442 --> 00:13:13,551
Yes, Rodney. It's me.
249
00:13:13,633 --> 00:13:15,859
It's the best I can do.
250
00:13:16,082 --> 00:13:17,793
I'm sorry to cause all this trouble.
251
00:13:17,794 --> 00:13:18,918
Who's there with you?
252
00:13:18,919 --> 00:13:20,734
Is John Sheppard there?
253
00:13:22,859 --> 00:13:23,703
Hi.
254
00:13:23,750 --> 00:13:26,550
It's so good to hear your voice again.
255
00:13:26,633 --> 00:13:28,238
We, uh...
256
00:13:28,871 --> 00:13:30,980
thought you were...
257
00:13:31,074 --> 00:13:31,965
dead.
258
00:13:32,155 --> 00:13:36,151
I suppose I am, my...
my physical body, anyway, but
259
00:13:36,244 --> 00:13:38,401
my consciousness is still intact.
260
00:13:38,402 --> 00:13:40,979
Right. So, um, what happened?
261
00:13:41,049 --> 00:13:43,709
Do you remember the day I ordered you to leave me behind?
262
00:13:43,710 --> 00:13:44,635
Come on!
263
00:13:44,636 --> 00:13:45,772
Elizabeth!
264
00:13:45,773 --> 00:13:47,248
*Go!
265
00:13:51,550 --> 00:13:53,636
Yeah, I remember.
266
00:13:53,706 --> 00:13:56,682
Well, after that, the Replicators took me to a lab.
267
00:13:56,683 --> 00:14:00,069
The nanites in my body were unleashed and allowed to replicate.
268
00:14:00,222 --> 00:14:01,991
I joined the population.
269
00:14:01,992 --> 00:14:05,964
But even in my new form, my original consciousness was still there.
270
00:14:06,046 --> 00:14:07,628
I was still me.
271
00:14:07,722 --> 00:14:08,905
I tried to hide it
272
00:14:08,906 --> 00:14:11,050
but a few of the others could sense it.
273
00:14:12,386 --> 00:14:14,917
They were remnants of Niam's old group.
274
00:14:15,737 --> 00:14:18,140
I believe you encountered some of their handiwork
275
00:14:18,304 --> 00:14:21,643
Replicator-built human versions of me and your team.
276
00:14:23,070 --> 00:14:25,215
Hmm. You heard about that, did you?
277
00:14:25,391 --> 00:14:28,039
Only after they were killed.
278
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,492
Now, the other you, the human one
279
00:14:32,493 --> 00:14:34,461
She thought you'd been destroyed.
280
00:14:34,602 --> 00:14:37,461
That's what the leaders of our group wanted her to believe.
281
00:14:37,462 --> 00:14:40,789
They kept us apart deliberately for security reasons.
282
00:14:40,895 --> 00:14:43,578
This is all very interesting, I'm sure,
283
00:14:43,579 --> 00:14:49,475
but none of it explains how you've come to be a disembodied voice in our computer system.
284
00:14:49,621 --> 00:14:52,058
Is that Richard Woolsey?
285
00:14:52,093 --> 00:14:53,910
Uh, yes.
286
00:14:54,531 --> 00:14:57,132
Uh, I'm the, uh, the-the
287
00:14:57,250 --> 00:14:59,547
- the new...
- The new you.
288
00:14:59,699 --> 00:15:01,269
I see.
289
00:15:02,895 --> 00:15:06,410
So, what-what... what happened?
How did you...
290
00:15:07,008 --> 00:15:10,582
end up... in there?
291
00:15:11,130 --> 00:15:12,876
We were on the run.
292
00:15:12,877 --> 00:15:16,966
Oberoth and the others were hunting us down for our heretical beliefs.
293
00:15:17,118 --> 00:15:21,103
It was only a matter of time before we'd be captured and destroyed,
294
00:15:21,290 --> 00:15:23,833
unless something miraculous happened.
295
00:15:23,927 --> 00:15:25,404
And something did.
296
00:15:30,114 --> 00:15:33,254
Our intel was correct. The planet has been completely destroyed.
297
00:15:33,325 --> 00:15:35,950
Can you detect any trace Replicator cells?
298
00:15:36,067 --> 00:15:39,020
Negative. They've been completely wiped out.
299
00:15:39,746 --> 00:15:40,965
Good.
300
00:15:41,657 --> 00:15:45,559
We can finally get to work without having to look over our shoulders.
301
00:15:47,215 --> 00:15:49,536
It's time to begin.
302
00:15:52,245 --> 00:15:54,753
Uh, well, that wasn't a miracle that was us.
303
00:15:54,754 --> 00:15:57,378
We destroyed the Replicator homeworld.
304
00:15:57,379 --> 00:16:00,742
I know, and we owe you a debt of gratitude
305
00:16:00,835 --> 00:16:04,292
because it allowed us to pursue our goal in peace.
306
00:16:04,304 --> 00:16:05,546
You mean ascension?
307
00:16:05,547 --> 00:16:07,070
Exactly, Teyla.
308
00:16:07,808 --> 00:16:11,101
We found a suitable planet and began our work.
309
00:16:11,195 --> 00:16:13,304
I did what I could to help them.
310
00:16:13,410 --> 00:16:17,699
I tried to lead them in meditation to teach them how to release their burden.
311
00:16:18,278 --> 00:16:20,024
But it was difficult.
312
00:16:21,828 --> 00:16:24,664
Let me guess. You ran into the small hiccup of the fact that you're all machines.
313
00:16:25,321 --> 00:16:26,528
Yes.
314
00:16:26,891 --> 00:16:30,606
Well, much as I'd like to say we didn't see *that* coming, we...
315
00:16:30,607 --> 00:16:32,481
you know, did.
316
00:16:32,528 --> 00:16:34,426
One of our group, Koracen,
317
00:16:34,427 --> 00:16:38,422
argued that it was a mistake to try and run away from our technological origin
318
00:16:38,479 --> 00:16:42,369
that we should embrace it and find a technological solution.
319
00:16:42,475 --> 00:16:47,221
We know that a Replicator mind can be digitised and transferred from one body to another,
320
00:16:47,830 --> 00:16:54,322
but I've discovered a way that will allow us to exist indefinitely as fields of energy,
321
00:16:54,475 --> 00:16:57,264
effectively uploading ourselves into sub-space
322
00:16:57,463 --> 00:17:01,998
where we'll be free to move about the galaxy unencumbered by physical existence.
323
00:17:02,116 --> 00:17:04,307
What will happen to our bodies?
324
00:17:04,308 --> 00:17:07,015
The nanite bonds holding them together will be severed.
325
00:17:07,073 --> 00:17:08,925
- You mean they'll be destroyed.
- Yes
326
00:17:08,972 --> 00:17:10,624
but we'll no longer need them.
327
00:17:10,741 --> 00:17:12,915
- Koracen, if this doesn't work...
- It *will* work.
328
00:17:14,989 --> 00:17:20,707
You told us that ascension is achieved when the physical body is transformed into pure energy.
329
00:17:21,223 --> 00:17:23,180
I can make that happen for us.
330
00:17:23,426 --> 00:17:25,160
Once in sub-space,
331
00:17:25,336 --> 00:17:29,614
nothing can prevent us from continuing on to the next plane of existence.
332
00:17:30,633 --> 00:17:32,567
Are you ready?
333
00:17:45,834 --> 00:17:46,959
It's done.
334
00:17:50,068 --> 00:17:52,072
Machine ascension!
335
00:17:52,611 --> 00:17:54,427
Except it didn't work.
336
00:17:54,603 --> 00:17:56,572
There *was* no next step
337
00:17:56,618 --> 00:18:00,075
no ascension in any meaningful sense of the word.
338
00:18:00,193 --> 00:18:03,240
We've been stuck in sub-space ever since.
339
00:18:03,286 --> 00:18:04,411
What is it like?
340
00:18:04,423 --> 00:18:05,279
Oh.
341
00:18:05,665 --> 00:18:09,263
Constant motion and deafening noise.
342
00:18:09,372 --> 00:18:12,266
It's like the worst migraine you could possibly imagine.
343
00:18:12,349 --> 00:18:14,610
I don't know. I've had some pretty horrendous migraines in my time.
344
00:18:14,611 --> 00:18:16,544
We started searching the galaxy,
345
00:18:16,545 --> 00:18:19,895
looking for a way to regain any kind of physical form.
346
00:18:20,059 --> 00:18:23,423
We came across a few other technologically advanced societies.
347
00:18:23,470 --> 00:18:25,181
Really? In *this* galaxy?
348
00:18:25,380 --> 00:18:27,958
You'd be surprised how many more are out there,
349
00:18:28,028 --> 00:18:30,231
keeping themselves hidden from the Wraith.
350
00:18:30,524 --> 00:18:34,966
We occupied various computer systems even Wraith tech for a short while.
351
00:18:35,013 --> 00:18:36,688
- Wraith tech?
- Really?
352
00:18:36,717 --> 00:18:39,284
It was extremely unpleasant.
353
00:18:39,530 --> 00:18:41,311
In fact, no matter where we looked,
354
00:18:41,381 --> 00:18:47,627
we couldn't find any technology that would allow us to exist as anything even remotely like what we were before.
355
00:18:48,237 --> 00:18:49,948
Which is why you came here.
356
00:18:50,170 --> 00:18:54,506
You knew that Atlantis' computers were big enough and powerful enough to house your entire programme.
357
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,553
The others were growing increasingly frustrated and bitter.
358
00:18:57,635 --> 00:19:00,998
I broke away from them and started looking for you on my own.
359
00:19:01,069 --> 00:19:02,967
I searched the galaxy for months,
360
00:19:02,968 --> 00:19:05,674
then I detected your Puddle Jumper and connected with it.
361
00:19:05,897 --> 00:19:08,088
Nearly killing us in the process.
362
00:19:08,334 --> 00:19:10,010
I'm sorry for that.
363
00:19:10,409 --> 00:19:13,350
My current condition is extremely volatile
364
00:19:13,420 --> 00:19:14,873
difficult to control,
365
00:19:14,932 --> 00:19:18,694
especially during the initial moments trying to interface with new tech.
366
00:19:18,695 --> 00:19:21,073
But I didn't know where else to turn.
367
00:19:21,248 --> 00:19:23,885
You're the only friends I have.
368
00:19:30,766 --> 00:19:31,937
If you ask me, it's a trick
369
00:19:32,031 --> 00:19:33,508
someone just pretending to be Doctor Weir.
370
00:19:33,509 --> 00:19:35,137
But what if it *is* her?
371
00:19:35,371 --> 00:19:37,644
Look, we still have the Ancient machine I used to build FRAN.
372
00:19:37,703 --> 00:19:39,848
- I can easily build another Replicator to house...
- No!
373
00:19:40,087 --> 00:19:41,869
I'd put in failsafes, a kill switch.
374
00:19:41,870 --> 00:19:44,670
Look, what I'm saying is that with all of the advancements I've been able to make...
375
00:19:44,671 --> 00:19:47,963
With all due respects to the advancements you've made, one thing remains constant:
376
00:19:47,964 --> 00:19:51,642
Replicators are far too powerful to even *think* about trusting them.
377
00:19:51,783 --> 00:19:53,213
They've been the scourge of two galaxies.
378
00:19:53,214 --> 00:19:55,392
You know better than anyone how difficult it was to get rid of them.
379
00:19:55,393 --> 00:19:56,798
Then what should we do with her?
380
00:19:56,799 --> 00:19:58,216
She can't stay where she is.
381
00:19:58,263 --> 00:19:59,834
She's frying the city's computers.
382
00:20:00,091 --> 00:20:04,463
Well, maybe we can upload her, or it, or whatever this thing is
383
00:20:04,509 --> 00:20:07,158
into a virtual reality like we did with Ava.
384
00:20:07,228 --> 00:20:10,509
That could work, but it wouldn't be easy, especially if she doesn't wanna go.
385
00:20:10,709 --> 00:20:12,935
Well, talk to her.
386
00:20:13,216 --> 00:20:17,013
Rodney, we've just detected anomalous energy levels in the South Pier lab.
387
00:20:17,014 --> 00:20:18,255
What, the Replicator machine?
388
00:20:18,326 --> 00:20:19,920
She's building herself a body.
389
00:20:19,921 --> 00:20:21,302
She must have found it in the database.
390
00:20:21,314 --> 00:20:22,931
- Shut down power.
- I-I tried.
391
00:20:22,932 --> 00:20:26,423
I've also tried to radio down there but communications are still offline.
392
00:20:29,563 --> 00:20:31,087
What's going on?
393
00:20:31,274 --> 00:20:32,388
Doors slammed shut.
394
00:20:32,423 --> 00:20:34,133
- Can't get it open.
- OK, move.
395
00:20:34,239 --> 00:20:35,938
Go get some back-up, some heavy arms;
396
00:20:35,939 --> 00:20:37,403
and clear every corridor out of here.
397
00:20:37,404 --> 00:20:38,973
And get some C4, we're gonna have to blast this door.
398
00:20:38,974 --> 00:20:40,954
Yeah, this panel is toast.
399
00:20:42,430 --> 00:20:44,083
Is there another door we can access?
400
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,504
Hello.
401
00:20:57,150 --> 00:20:58,240
Listen to me.
402
00:20:58,241 --> 00:20:59,810
I'm Elizabeth Weir.
403
00:20:59,834 --> 00:21:01,099
Obviously she was in a hurry.
404
00:21:01,100 --> 00:21:04,135
She just used the previous Replicator template that was already in the machine...
405
00:21:04,158 --> 00:21:05,271
which was FRAN.
406
00:21:05,272 --> 00:21:07,721
John, I'm not a threat to you.
407
00:21:07,955 --> 00:21:11,902
Well, whatever you are, I'd say building a Replicator body's a pretty big threat.
408
00:21:12,078 --> 00:21:13,953
Elizabeth Weir would never do such a thing.
409
00:21:13,999 --> 00:21:17,820
OK, the machine is deactivated.
410
00:21:17,914 --> 00:21:20,902
I've removed the control crystal, which means no-one will be building any more Replicators.
411
00:21:20,903 --> 00:21:21,956
Believe me,
412
00:21:21,957 --> 00:21:24,687
I was just as concerned about doing this as you,
413
00:21:24,839 --> 00:21:29,081
but the adjustments Rodney's made to this technology eliminate any danger.
414
00:21:29,151 --> 00:21:30,769
I can't replicate,
415
00:21:30,770 --> 00:21:33,640
and since my consciousness is controlling this body I truly...
416
00:21:33,641 --> 00:21:34,718
*Your* consciousness?
417
00:21:34,823 --> 00:21:38,562
No offence, but I'm not completely sold on your being who you say you are.
418
00:21:38,773 --> 00:21:40,788
That makes two of us.
419
00:21:41,386 --> 00:21:43,155
I understand your scepticism,
420
00:21:43,156 --> 00:21:45,663
but I *am* Elizabeth Weir.
421
00:21:46,237 --> 00:21:48,148
I wish there was some way I could prove it to you.
422
00:21:48,149 --> 00:21:49,601
That'll be difficult.
423
00:21:49,671 --> 00:21:55,714
Any personal information or memories could have easily been mined from Doctor Weir's consciousness when the Replicators captured her.
424
00:21:55,773 --> 00:21:57,015
I know.
425
00:21:57,425 --> 00:21:59,921
At least let me start by offering something of value.
426
00:21:59,922 --> 00:22:01,410
Let's hear it.
427
00:22:01,937 --> 00:22:06,109
The technical specs of several of the systems we've inhabited since our transformation,
428
00:22:06,203 --> 00:22:07,972
including Wraith tech.
429
00:22:09,543 --> 00:22:12,168
I've already uploaded them to your computer.
430
00:22:12,355 --> 00:22:13,211
Oh, really?
431
00:22:13,223 --> 00:22:15,156
Well, that's... great.
432
00:22:15,157 --> 00:22:18,719
All I ask is that you give me a chance to earn your trust.
433
00:22:19,785 --> 00:22:23,066
I would never *ever* do anything to harm any of you,
434
00:22:23,067 --> 00:22:24,607
or Atlantis.
435
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,243
Well, the good news is that now she's downloaded herself into the Replicator's body
436
00:22:38,363 --> 00:22:40,518
she's not screwing up Atlantis' computers.
437
00:22:40,553 --> 00:22:43,964
Power's stable, the Gate's working and communications are back online.
438
00:22:44,034 --> 00:22:45,862
You sure she can't replicate on her own?
439
00:22:45,863 --> 00:22:48,100
Positive. I mean, she instituted every safeguard.
440
00:22:48,217 --> 00:22:51,405
- If we move her to a secure location, then I think we'll be able...
- Wait a minute.
441
00:22:52,002 --> 00:22:55,377
You're not suggesting I entertain the notion of keeping her here?
442
00:22:55,424 --> 00:22:58,717
Well, I'm just saying that if we keep her under constant guard, it'll minimise any threat she poses
443
00:22:58,718 --> 00:23:00,475
if she even *poses* a threat
444
00:23:00,476 --> 00:23:03,733
and it'll give us more time to study her.
445
00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:07,788
That *thing* in there is a Replicator.
446
00:23:07,789 --> 00:23:09,850
There are far too many ways this can go wrong,
447
00:23:09,851 --> 00:23:11,877
even if she's kept under constant guard.
448
00:23:11,878 --> 00:23:13,799
Everyone doubted the first FRAN I built,
449
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,371
and she turned out to be perfectly safe and perfectly reliable.
450
00:23:16,372 --> 00:23:17,777
That's right, *you* built FRAN;
451
00:23:17,882 --> 00:23:19,699
*you* created her consciousness.
452
00:23:19,757 --> 00:23:25,019
Now, as much as you wanna believe that this new FRAN is indeed Doctor Weir, we *cannot* be certain of that.
453
00:23:25,136 --> 00:23:27,504
For all we know, it could be Oberoth inside that body.
454
00:23:27,574 --> 00:23:29,179
That's creepy.
455
00:23:29,730 --> 00:23:31,523
What if it *is* Doctor Weir?
456
00:23:32,361 --> 00:23:33,451
Look, this is my fault.
457
00:23:33,452 --> 00:23:35,772
I'm the one who reactivated the nanites in Elizabeth
458
00:23:35,854 --> 00:23:37,998
true, to save her, but...
459
00:23:38,479 --> 00:23:40,623
Look, I'm the one who created this mess.
460
00:23:40,834 --> 00:23:44,608
I think I should be the one to, you know, fix it.
461
00:23:46,717 --> 00:23:48,404
I owe it to Elizabeth.
462
00:23:51,326 --> 00:23:52,767
I'm sorry,
463
00:23:53,271 --> 00:23:55,486
but it's too dangerous.
464
00:23:56,576 --> 00:23:58,814
I say we stick with our original plan:
465
00:23:58,931 --> 00:24:01,380
upload her consciousness into a virtual reality,
466
00:24:01,381 --> 00:24:03,443
let her prove herself there,
467
00:24:03,799 --> 00:24:06,822
where she can't do any damage.
468
00:24:15,423 --> 00:24:16,700
A child?
469
00:24:16,864 --> 00:24:18,154
Oh, Teyla!
470
00:24:21,728 --> 00:24:23,814
I'm so happy for you.
471
00:24:25,911 --> 00:24:28,735
Is it a boy or a...
472
00:24:28,888 --> 00:24:30,095
A boy.
473
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,638
What's his name?
474
00:24:34,032 --> 00:24:36,552
Torren John Emmagan.
475
00:24:37,044 --> 00:24:41,251
Torren for your father, and John
476
00:24:41,532 --> 00:24:42,739
Colonel Sheppard.
477
00:24:42,833 --> 00:24:44,204
Yes.
478
00:24:45,675 --> 00:24:48,265
Wait. You're not saying John Sheppard is...
479
00:24:48,266 --> 00:24:49,285
No.
480
00:24:49,425 --> 00:24:50,515
No.
481
00:24:51,488 --> 00:24:53,492
The father is Athosian.
482
00:24:53,585 --> 00:24:54,804
Let me guess
483
00:24:54,886 --> 00:24:56,152
Kanaan.
484
00:24:56,433 --> 00:24:58,812
Yes! How did you...?
485
00:24:59,140 --> 00:25:02,234
Every time you spoke of him, this friend
486
00:25:02,374 --> 00:25:05,128
there was always a sparkle in your eyes.
487
00:25:07,444 --> 00:25:10,561
So is the baby here with you in Atlantis?
488
00:25:12,026 --> 00:25:13,338
No.
489
00:25:13,829 --> 00:25:16,536
He's with his father, offworld.
490
00:25:21,483 --> 00:25:22,667
Sorry to interrupt.
491
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,003
That's all right.
492
00:25:24,004 --> 00:25:25,280
We were just finishing.
493
00:25:34,679 --> 00:25:35,663
Sorry about all this.
494
00:25:35,710 --> 00:25:38,113
It's OK. I understand.
495
00:25:38,921 --> 00:25:41,300
Amazing news about Teyla.
496
00:25:42,062 --> 00:25:43,374
Yeah.
497
00:25:44,570 --> 00:25:45,648
Yeah.
498
00:25:46,269 --> 00:25:47,921
Um, look,
499
00:25:48,261 --> 00:25:52,187
we all wanna believe you are who you say you are...
500
00:25:52,269 --> 00:25:53,816
I understand.
501
00:25:54,144 --> 00:25:56,089
You have to be cautious.
502
00:25:56,581 --> 00:25:59,042
But it really is me, John.
503
00:26:01,803 --> 00:26:03,643
You just have to give me time.
504
00:26:04,152 --> 00:26:05,969
You'll see that...
505
00:26:11,172 --> 00:26:12,297
Oh no.
506
00:26:12,298 --> 00:26:13,284
What's wrong?
507
00:26:13,285 --> 00:26:15,640
They've found me.
508
00:26:16,331 --> 00:26:17,585
Who?
509
00:26:17,972 --> 00:26:19,730
The other Replicators.
510
00:26:19,999 --> 00:26:22,343
They're on their way to Atlantis.
511
00:26:24,629 --> 00:26:25,649
How many are coming?
512
00:26:25,650 --> 00:26:26,457
Eight of them.
513
00:26:26,598 --> 00:26:28,285
We saw what kind of damage *one* could do.
514
00:26:28,286 --> 00:26:29,633
Should we pull the ZeeP.M.?
515
00:26:29,715 --> 00:26:31,157
As a last resort. We're not there yet.
516
00:26:31,180 --> 00:26:34,075
Meanwhile I'll need to effect any potential countermeasures I can come up with.
517
00:26:34,076 --> 00:26:34,977
How soon will they get here?
518
00:26:34,978 --> 00:26:36,535
Minutes, if that.
519
00:26:36,594 --> 00:26:38,375
Is there anything we can do to protect the city?
520
00:26:38,376 --> 00:26:39,582
Could you put up some kind of firewall?
521
00:26:39,583 --> 00:26:41,352
A firewall won't work. You can't block `em.
522
00:26:41,353 --> 00:26:43,004
They just pop in and out of sub-space.
523
00:26:43,005 --> 00:26:44,950
They're here; they're there, it's impossible to predict.
524
00:26:46,227 --> 00:26:49,356
I could write a programme that immediately quarantines any anomalous behaviour in the system,
525
00:26:49,357 --> 00:26:50,879
like an anti-virus software.
526
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,426
It's gonna take some time, though.
527
00:26:52,427 --> 00:26:53,551
Do what you can.
528
00:26:53,575 --> 00:26:56,821
Keep FRAN, Doctor Weir, whoever she is, under guard.
529
00:26:56,961 --> 00:26:59,176
We won't upload her to the V.R. just yet.
530
00:26:59,293 --> 00:27:01,707
We may need her help dealing with them.
531
00:27:05,577 --> 00:27:07,030
- You set us up.
- No.
532
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:10,308
I honestly believed I had broken away without them being able to track me.
533
00:27:10,355 --> 00:27:12,417
You tell them to stay away from Atlantis.
534
00:27:12,418 --> 00:27:15,499
I'll try, but it'll get easier as they get closer.
535
00:27:15,663 --> 00:27:17,691
Look, I'm sure they don't intend to hurt anyone.
536
00:27:17,692 --> 00:27:20,480
No, you tell them to keep moving; go someplace else.
537
00:27:20,573 --> 00:27:22,624
It might go...
538
00:27:23,859 --> 00:27:25,078
Sheppard!
539
00:27:25,371 --> 00:27:26,671
Go ahead, Rodney.
540
00:27:30,386 --> 00:27:31,300
Rodney?
541
00:27:31,301 --> 00:27:34,253
Their combined forces are completely overwhelming the main power grid.
542
00:27:34,593 --> 00:27:35,835
Sheppard!
543
00:27:35,906 --> 00:27:36,808
They're here.
544
00:27:36,809 --> 00:27:38,882
All eight of them, slamming the city's computers.
545
00:27:38,883 --> 00:27:40,312
What about the anti-virus programme?
546
00:27:40,313 --> 00:27:41,413
I didn't have time to finish it.
547
00:27:41,414 --> 00:27:42,515
Look, it probably wouldn't have worked anyway.
548
00:27:42,516 --> 00:27:46,300
Radek, I need you to pull the ZedP.M.
and power down all the central naqahdah generators.
549
00:27:46,371 --> 00:27:47,847
Radek?
550
00:27:48,749 --> 00:27:50,507
Communications are down again!
551
00:27:50,508 --> 00:27:51,421
Rodney?
552
00:27:52,087 --> 00:27:55,743
Rodney, I'm trying to divert power but it's become far too unstable.
553
00:27:56,026 --> 00:27:58,507
Perhaps now we should pull the ZedP.M.?
554
00:28:02,035 --> 00:28:03,476
Let's go. Pull the ZedP.M.
555
00:28:03,477 --> 00:28:05,855
Shut down all the power except for the main tower.
556
00:28:10,673 --> 00:28:11,810
Hey.
557
00:28:15,105 --> 00:28:17,754
Oh God. He's dead.
558
00:28:20,163 --> 00:28:23,444
We've established contact with the Replicator known as Koracen.
559
00:28:23,503 --> 00:28:25,390
He claims to speak on the others' behalf.
560
00:28:25,460 --> 00:28:27,171
Koracen, it's Elizabeth Weir.
561
00:28:27,172 --> 00:28:29,655
Elizabeth. We were worried about you.
562
00:28:29,656 --> 00:28:30,827
Listen to me.
563
00:28:30,886 --> 00:28:32,702
You need to leave this place.
564
00:28:32,738 --> 00:28:34,460
You're causing a lot of harm.
565
00:28:34,484 --> 00:28:35,773
We *will* do.
566
00:28:35,784 --> 00:28:38,222
But first we wish to be given bodies, as you have.
567
00:28:38,304 --> 00:28:40,671
We've already told you that's out of the question.
568
00:28:40,730 --> 00:28:42,641
And yet Elizabeth has been given one.
569
00:28:42,699 --> 00:28:44,187
It wasn't our choice,
570
00:28:44,258 --> 00:28:46,238
and we're not planning on letting her keep it.
571
00:28:46,239 --> 00:28:48,324
We do not wish to harm anyone.
572
00:28:48,477 --> 00:28:52,730
One of our guys is already dead, so you can save your "we come in peace" crap.
573
00:28:52,731 --> 00:28:54,313
Koracen, please.
574
00:28:54,371 --> 00:28:57,313
Just leave the city and let me negotiate with them.
575
00:28:57,314 --> 00:28:59,914
I'm sure we can figure out some way to help you.
576
00:28:59,937 --> 00:29:03,395
The way to help us is by replacing the control crystal in the Ancient machine
577
00:29:03,396 --> 00:29:05,773
so that we may build Replicator bodies.
578
00:29:06,020 --> 00:29:08,023
That is what you *will* do.
579
00:29:08,024 --> 00:29:09,430
And if we don't?
580
00:29:10,355 --> 00:29:11,609
Koracen?
581
00:29:14,035 --> 00:29:14,703
Not good.
582
00:29:14,704 --> 00:29:15,793
Not good.
583
00:29:15,969 --> 00:29:17,223
Uh, Gate's down again.
584
00:29:17,224 --> 00:29:18,793
We're losing control of the city.
585
00:29:18,910 --> 00:29:20,773
They just shut the Jumper Bay doors.
586
00:29:20,774 --> 00:29:23,211
They're trying to keep us from leaving.
587
00:29:23,516 --> 00:29:24,406
Can't you over-ride it?
588
00:29:24,407 --> 00:29:25,859
I'm locked out!
589
00:29:26,738 --> 00:29:27,547
Oh no.
590
00:29:27,548 --> 00:29:29,234
They just engaged the ZedP.M.
591
00:29:29,984 --> 00:29:31,801
Energy levels are rising rapidly.
592
00:29:31,802 --> 00:29:33,359
Why? What are they doing?
593
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,211
They're sinking the city!
594
00:29:35,270 --> 00:29:36,230
Raise the shield.
595
00:29:36,231 --> 00:29:37,777
They've disabled it.
596
00:29:47,930 --> 00:29:49,302
Any ideas?
597
00:29:49,303 --> 00:29:50,544
No. We're goin' down.
598
00:29:50,661 --> 00:29:53,790
The water's already cresting the lower decks of the outer piers.
599
00:29:53,895 --> 00:29:56,415
It's gonna breach the city corridors any second now.
600
00:30:16,109 --> 00:30:18,136
I want you to send them a message from me.
601
00:30:18,394 --> 00:30:20,246
I've been trying to communicate with them,
602
00:30:20,247 --> 00:30:21,418
telling them to stop.
603
00:30:21,419 --> 00:30:22,847
They won't listen to me.
604
00:30:22,848 --> 00:30:24,207
That's not what I wanna tell them.
605
00:30:24,488 --> 00:30:25,812
Is it not?
606
00:30:26,105 --> 00:30:28,273
Tell them to go ahead.
607
00:30:28,554 --> 00:30:30,101
Sink the city.
608
00:30:30,511 --> 00:30:35,011
Destroy their only chance of ever regaining any kind of physical form.
609
00:30:35,111 --> 00:30:36,763
You've searched the entire galaxy.
610
00:30:37,314 --> 00:30:39,658
You know the Replicator homeworld was destroyed.
611
00:30:39,705 --> 00:30:43,900
The only place remaining with the technology you need achieve your goals
612
00:30:44,545 --> 00:30:46,232
is right here.
613
00:30:46,661 --> 00:30:48,900
So go ahead: destroy it.
614
00:30:49,544 --> 00:30:52,544
Stay trapped in limbo forever.
615
00:30:54,736 --> 00:30:58,099
Level one of the South Pier is completely under water.
616
00:30:59,283 --> 00:31:01,134
They won't stop.
617
00:31:01,653 --> 00:31:02,801
Fine.
618
00:31:03,422 --> 00:31:05,157
Then we'll all die together.
619
00:31:23,779 --> 00:31:26,123
They're powering down the ZedP.M.!
620
00:31:27,792 --> 00:31:29,597
The city's stabilising!
621
00:31:36,849 --> 00:31:38,185
All right.
622
00:31:38,654 --> 00:31:40,365
Now we can negotiate.
623
00:31:46,051 --> 00:31:47,329
I have a proposal.
624
00:31:47,352 --> 00:31:51,137
I've already communicated it to the others and convinced them to agree to it.
625
00:31:51,559 --> 00:31:52,602
Let's hear it.
626
00:31:52,661 --> 00:31:54,208
Human bodies
627
00:31:54,337 --> 00:31:57,360
nanite-manufactured but consisting of flesh and blood,
628
00:31:57,594 --> 00:31:59,762
like the other Elizabeth Weir you once encountered.
629
00:31:59,891 --> 00:32:02,071
Uh, we don't have that kind of technology here.
630
00:32:02,282 --> 00:32:03,360
But *we* do.
631
00:32:03,465 --> 00:32:07,028
If you give us temporary Replicator bodies and a lab to work in,
632
00:32:07,180 --> 00:32:08,493
we can assemble them ourselves.
633
00:32:08,551 --> 00:32:11,481
What, and you'll transfer your consciousness from the Replicator body to the human body?
634
00:32:11,482 --> 00:32:12,512
Exactly.
635
00:32:12,700 --> 00:32:16,040
As human beings, we would be every bit as vulnerable as anyone else.
636
00:32:16,180 --> 00:32:19,462
We would eat, sleep, get sick and die
637
00:32:19,579 --> 00:32:21,173
preferably of old age.
638
00:32:21,174 --> 00:32:24,876
What about ascension?
I'm assuming that's still on the agenda.
639
00:32:25,028 --> 00:32:25,743
It is.
640
00:32:25,755 --> 00:32:26,973
Wait a second.
641
00:32:27,055 --> 00:32:28,942
Building humans, that's gonna take time, isn't it?
642
00:32:28,943 --> 00:32:31,872
I mean, first you have to create the technology to do it.
643
00:32:31,907 --> 00:32:36,735
We're talking nanites organically assembling each body inside out, starting at the molecular level.
644
00:32:36,805 --> 00:32:39,255
Well, then you have to create the machine to transfer the consciousness.
645
00:32:39,256 --> 00:32:40,860
I mean, that's gonna take God knows how long!
646
00:32:40,861 --> 00:32:43,579
Replicators, as you know, work very fast
647
00:32:43,684 --> 00:32:45,712
no need for breaks or food or sleep.
648
00:32:45,805 --> 00:32:47,493
It's worth thinking about.
649
00:32:47,494 --> 00:32:48,899
Look, he may be right,
650
00:32:48,993 --> 00:32:50,798
I mean if only to regain control of the city.
651
00:32:50,891 --> 00:32:53,950
While they're in our computer systems, Atlantis is in serious trouble.
652
00:32:54,447 --> 00:32:55,912
*If* we do this,
653
00:32:56,076 --> 00:32:58,936
I want severe restrictions placed on their capabilities:
654
00:32:59,041 --> 00:33:00,963
no replicating, no shape-shifting...
655
00:33:00,964 --> 00:33:02,041
The basic model. You got it.
656
00:33:02,042 --> 00:33:05,665
I mean, no bells, no whistles. They'll be able to effect some minor repairs but that's about it.
657
00:33:05,805 --> 00:33:08,266
Seal off the lab, put a forcefield around it.
658
00:33:08,348 --> 00:33:10,587
Do whatever you need to do to feel safe,
659
00:33:10,982 --> 00:33:14,193
but I've already convinced the others that this is their only option.
660
00:33:14,697 --> 00:33:16,889
They won't give you any trouble.
661
00:33:19,162 --> 00:33:20,533
You have my word.
662
00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:24,014
Do it.
663
00:33:29,833 --> 00:33:32,212
OK. Initialising forcefield.
664
00:33:38,829 --> 00:33:39,895
Are your teams in place?
665
00:33:39,930 --> 00:33:41,313
Round the clock watch.
666
00:33:41,314 --> 00:33:42,180
Good.
667
00:33:42,297 --> 00:33:46,586
Once these human bodies are made and they're downloaded into them,
668
00:33:46,645 --> 00:33:47,840
what happens then?
669
00:33:48,028 --> 00:33:51,743
Well, seeing as they'll be just like any other human beings, I see no reason not to let them go.
670
00:33:51,825 --> 00:33:53,196
They could become valuable allies.
671
00:33:53,208 --> 00:33:55,622
Or what if one of them decides to stay?
672
00:33:57,180 --> 00:33:59,735
Let's cross one bridge at a time, all right?
673
00:34:03,554 --> 00:34:04,597
How's it going?
674
00:34:04,598 --> 00:34:07,901
Almost done. They're just finishing up the last one.
675
00:34:17,437 --> 00:34:18,492
That was fast.
676
00:34:18,493 --> 00:34:20,753
Actually creating Replicators is fairly simple
677
00:34:20,894 --> 00:34:23,812
comparatively speaking. Humans, not so much.
678
00:34:24,011 --> 00:34:25,781
Well, the sooner they get it done, the better.
679
00:34:25,910 --> 00:34:30,105
And once the last transfer is complete, I want those Replicator bodies destroyed.
680
00:34:31,746 --> 00:34:34,242
They certainly don't waste any time, do they?
681
00:34:34,243 --> 00:34:35,460
No, they don't.
682
00:34:35,613 --> 00:34:38,425
There's no breaks, no chit-chat, no social interaction whatsoever.
683
00:34:38,426 --> 00:34:41,402
Just the perfect working environment.
684
00:34:43,886 --> 00:34:47,261
Ronon, you don't have to stay there the whole time, you know.
685
00:34:47,496 --> 00:34:48,585
I'm good.
686
00:34:48,609 --> 00:34:52,007
Talk, talk, talk, that's all he does. You can't shut him up
687
00:34:52,335 --> 00:34:54,210
Keep me apprised.
688
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,139
McKAY! Power's out!
689
00:35:19,140 --> 00:35:20,343
What the...?
690
00:35:20,344 --> 00:35:21,187
forcefield...
691
00:35:46,291 --> 00:35:49,463
- What happened?
- One of the Replicators escaped. Koracen, the leader.
692
00:35:49,545 --> 00:35:52,073
Must have written some kind of hidden programme that was timed to kill power
693
00:35:52,074 --> 00:35:54,069
as soon as they were downloaded into the Replicator bodies.
694
00:35:54,070 --> 00:35:56,518
It disabled the forcefield and they were able to pry open the doors.
695
00:35:57,514 --> 00:35:58,873
Where is she?
696
00:35:58,874 --> 00:36:00,420
She went after Koracen.
697
00:36:00,421 --> 00:36:02,811
Three teams are in pursuit. We've lost all radio contact.
698
00:36:02,812 --> 00:36:04,030
Go join `em.
699
00:36:04,123 --> 00:36:05,869
Go to the Control Room, try to get the power restored.
700
00:36:05,976 --> 00:36:06,890
What do we do with *them*?
701
00:36:06,891 --> 00:36:08,050
Shoot `em.
702
00:36:08,168 --> 00:36:09,738
*Keep* shooting `em.
703
00:36:09,867 --> 00:36:11,402
They'll go down eventually.
704
00:36:11,414 --> 00:36:12,761
Wait!
705
00:36:13,855 --> 00:36:16,656
We knew nothing of Koracen's plan.
706
00:36:17,207 --> 00:36:20,359
If we were part of it, we would not be standing here right now.
707
00:36:21,226 --> 00:36:24,847
Please. We're complying with your wishes.
708
00:36:28,683 --> 00:36:31,050
*Nothing* gets through that door.
709
00:36:31,191 --> 00:36:34,870
They move an inch, shoot `em.
710
00:36:54,470 --> 00:36:56,462
Hold on!
711
00:36:57,857 --> 00:37:01,009
You just couldn't wait for those human bodies, could you?
712
00:37:01,964 --> 00:37:05,046
The human body is frail, weak;
713
00:37:05,167 --> 00:37:07,417
every second that much closer to dying.
714
00:37:07,418 --> 00:37:10,991
Yeah, and this whole ascension thing, you're just giving up on that, huh?
715
00:37:11,471 --> 00:37:14,577
Not at all. I'm certain there's another way
716
00:37:14,876 --> 00:37:18,872
and with this body, I'll have plenty of time to discover it.
717
00:37:31,636 --> 00:37:32,433
Any luck?
718
00:37:32,434 --> 00:37:34,038
They've shut just about everything down.
719
00:37:34,039 --> 00:37:37,449
The power's cut to most of the critical systems.
Except for the D.H.D. and the Gate.
720
00:37:37,489 --> 00:37:39,153
They're obviously going to try to dial out.
721
00:37:39,246 --> 00:37:41,719
Now, I've managed to gain remote access to the mainframe.
722
00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:46,489
I'm creating a work-around to allow the resumption of naqahdah power to the central tower's primary systems.
723
00:37:46,571 --> 00:37:48,879
It's minimal, to be sure, but from there at least we'll be able to...
724
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,774
over-ride the Replicator programme and restart the remaining systems.
725
00:37:51,775 --> 00:37:54,575
Exactly. Just hurry. We need power back, now.
726
00:37:55,114 --> 00:37:56,473
OK, is there anything you want me to do?
727
00:37:56,474 --> 00:37:59,590
Yes, well, for starters you could, um, stay out of my way.
728
00:38:00,118 --> 00:38:02,520
Oh, yes, sorry. All right.
729
00:38:08,049 --> 00:38:09,807
And be quiet.
730
00:38:11,577 --> 00:38:14,190
John, stay back. Let me handle this.
731
00:38:14,881 --> 00:38:16,792
Haven't you done enough already?
732
00:38:16,793 --> 00:38:18,374
I'm trying to help you.
733
00:38:18,375 --> 00:38:19,721
By what?
734
00:38:19,885 --> 00:38:20,870
Escaping?
735
00:38:20,871 --> 00:38:23,049
I didn't know that Koracen would do this.
736
00:38:23,050 --> 00:38:24,280
Of *course* she knew.
737
00:38:24,608 --> 00:38:29,096
Elizabeth has been a willing participant in our goals from the very beginning.
738
00:38:29,190 --> 00:38:31,803
It was her idea to come here in the first place.
739
00:38:33,385 --> 00:38:35,284
You said you broke off from them ?
740
00:38:35,460 --> 00:38:37,112
that they couldn't track you.
741
00:38:37,241 --> 00:38:38,565
Track her?
742
00:38:38,729 --> 00:38:42,549
She was the one who alerted us, when the time was right, to come.
743
00:38:42,866 --> 00:38:44,531
We were only following her commands.
744
00:38:44,589 --> 00:38:48,433
John, listen to me. I *had* to bring them here.
745
00:38:48,503 --> 00:38:50,765
It was our only chance;
746
00:38:50,870 --> 00:38:52,406
our only way out.
747
00:38:52,958 --> 00:38:56,450
I didn't know that Koracen would cause this kind of trouble.
748
00:38:56,935 --> 00:38:58,704
I didn't think that anyone would get hurt.
749
00:38:58,705 --> 00:39:00,462
What did you think we were gonna do:
750
00:39:00,650 --> 00:39:03,404
just give you a bunch of Replicator bodies and send you on your way?
751
00:39:03,405 --> 00:39:06,239
I truly believed that we were no threat to you.
752
00:39:06,404 --> 00:39:08,958
You may still think that you're Elizabeth,
753
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,314
but you're not.
754
00:39:36,004 --> 00:39:39,766
If you'd like to resume your work, I've decided to allow it.
755
00:39:39,918 --> 00:39:42,028
We would re-engage the forcefield of course.
756
00:39:42,145 --> 00:39:43,891
Beef up security.
757
00:39:44,430 --> 00:39:45,965
It's too risky.
758
00:39:47,793 --> 00:39:50,758
I thought that bringing the others here would be safe.
759
00:39:51,157 --> 00:39:52,399
I was wrong.
760
00:39:52,832 --> 00:39:56,313
I can no longer guarantee there won't be any more trouble from them,
761
00:39:56,454 --> 00:39:57,860
or even myself.
762
00:39:59,407 --> 00:40:01,563
All right, um...
763
00:40:02,547 --> 00:40:04,329
what do you wanna do?
764
00:40:06,075 --> 00:40:09,672
I remember after you reactivated the nanites cells inside me,
765
00:40:09,754 --> 00:40:11,547
I said this was a bad idea.
766
00:40:11,641 --> 00:40:14,711
So much has gone wrong since then,
767
00:40:16,572 --> 00:40:20,487
but I think I know how I can finally set things right.
768
00:40:25,197 --> 00:40:26,569
Go ahead.
769
00:40:45,849 --> 00:40:48,556
If you need anything else for your work, let us know.
770
00:40:48,731 --> 00:40:50,067
Thanks, Rodney.
771
00:40:50,407 --> 00:40:54,591
Once again, you have to promise to stay put until you're finished constructing the human bodies.
772
00:40:54,837 --> 00:40:56,419
No leaving your homeworld;
773
00:40:56,489 --> 00:41:00,134
no communication with any other civilisation except Atlantis.
774
00:41:00,135 --> 00:41:01,563
You have my word.
775
00:41:01,774 --> 00:41:03,216
Good luck with your command, Richard.
776
00:41:03,321 --> 00:41:07,130
It's comforting to know Atlantis is in capable hands.
777
00:41:07,716 --> 00:41:08,899
Thank you.
778
00:41:09,380 --> 00:41:11,278
Shall we?
779
00:41:13,919 --> 00:41:15,431
It's OK.
780
00:41:15,571 --> 00:41:17,095
I'll go first.
781
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:48,170
It's safe.
782
00:42:16,634 --> 00:42:19,786
You're sure the D.H.D. reconfiguration worked?
783
00:42:20,126 --> 00:42:21,310
Yes.
784
00:42:21,802 --> 00:42:23,864
They were sent to a space Gate.
785
00:42:25,183 --> 00:42:28,253
I guess that answers the question as to whether it was really Elizabeth.
786
00:42:57,162 --> 00:43:00,385
