1
00:00:00,630 --> 00:00:02,650
You can go ahead, rodney.
2
00:00:03,020 --> 00:00:05,350
- I don't remember where to start.
- Sure you do.
3
00:00:05,530 --> 00:00:06,280
No.
4
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,570
Start with your name like we've been doing, okay, and we'll just go from there.
5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,150
My name...
6
00:00:12,270 --> 00:00:14,970
my name is...
7
00:00:15,430 --> 00:00:16,980
Mr.Rodney mckay.
8
00:00:17,010 --> 00:00:17,820
No...
9
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:18,680
yes.
10
00:00:18,730 --> 00:00:21,530
Come on, now. You're Dr.Mckay, remember?
11
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,880
No, I'm- I'm not anymore.
12
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,760
I'm not s-s-smart anymore.
13
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,120
Doctors are smart, so I'm mister now.
14
00:00:31,250 --> 00:00:32,630
Okay.
15
00:00:34,970 --> 00:00:37,780
I used to be the smartest person ever...
16
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,950
and- and now... now I'm not.
17
00:00:40,990 --> 00:00:43,900
That's what we're trying to fix, right?
18
00:00:44,140 --> 00:00:45,490
No, you can't fix me.
19
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:47,660
You know we're trying our very best-
20
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,980
no, you can'T. You can'T.
21
00:00:49,980 --> 00:00:51,000
it's okay, rodney,
22
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,820
what's the next thing you're supposed to say?
23
00:00:52,820 --> 00:00:54,940
Where... where did john go?
24
00:00:55,020 --> 00:00:56,660
He just had to go away for a few minutes. He'll be back-
25
00:00:56,660 --> 00:00:57,890
- john! - Rodney...
26
00:00:58,610 --> 00:01:00,130
rodney, I'm your friend, I'm right here.
27
00:01:00,130 --> 00:01:02,430
Where are you, john?
28
00:01:03,260 --> 00:01:04,530
John!
29
00:01:08,660 --> 00:01:11,790
Why the hell didn't you tell me my brother was this far gone?
30
00:01:12,180 --> 00:01:13,570
It's happened pretty fast, jeannie.
31
00:01:13,610 --> 00:01:15,060
No, I...
32
00:01:15,550 --> 00:01:18,700
I got a message from him just a couple of weeks ago.
33
00:01:18,820 --> 00:01:21,770
he seemed perfectly fine. He'd never been so nice.
34
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:25,790
That would have been shortly after he became infected.
35
00:01:26,830 --> 00:01:28,560
I didn't recognize the symptoms in time.
36
00:01:28,570 --> 00:01:30,410
It's not your fault, doc.
37
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,510
Frankly, mrs. Miller,
38
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,790
we contacted you as soon as we became aware of the seriousness of his condition.
39
00:01:37,090 --> 00:01:42,200
In fact, daedalus dropped you off at the first available gate in pegasus because we were concerned that
40
00:01:42,290 --> 00:01:44,660
you wouldn't make it here in time.
41
00:01:45,270 --> 00:01:49,790
We thought you deserved a chance to say goodbye.

45
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,570
The Shrine
46
00:03:05,390 --> 00:03:09,310
Dr.Keller wanted to take a moment to prepare him for your visit.
47
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,990
Yeah, I, uh...
48
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,790
I think I need a moment myself.
49
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,780
How did... how did this happen to him?
50
00:03:17,490 --> 00:03:22,180
Um, there was a little snafu on the last mission.
51
00:03:23,740 --> 00:03:25,890
Colonel sheppard, when you reach the research camp,
52
00:03:25,890 --> 00:03:28,830
please remind Dr.Nichols that he is now...
53
00:03:28,990 --> 00:03:32,140
one hour and 15 minutes overdue for his scheduled check-in.
54
00:03:32,220 --> 00:03:35,260
Right, want me to smack him around or anything?
55
00:03:39,150 --> 00:03:41,260
Just the reminder, please.
56
00:03:42,980 --> 00:03:45,350
Shouldn't we be concerned for Dr.Nichols' team?
57
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:47,600
No, the settlement's a half hour away from the gate.
58
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,720
He's got them checking in every six.
59
00:03:49,790 --> 00:03:52,070
I'm sure nichols is just tired of taking the round trip.
60
00:03:52,070 --> 00:03:53,980
Still, it wouldn't hurt to bust his chops a bit.
61
00:03:53,980 --> 00:03:56,620
That nichols is so arrogant.
62
00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:10,000
Amelia, I think I'm going to risk heading down to breakfast before they check in.
63
00:04:10,780 --> 00:04:12,240
I just mean that...
64
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,230
it will probably take them some time to get to the camp,
65
00:04:16,580 --> 00:04:21,040
and then more time for nichols to get back to the gate and report.
66
00:04:21,070 --> 00:04:23,470
There's really no point in my...
67
00:04:24,340 --> 00:04:25,570
telling you this.
68
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:27,050
Not really, sir.
69
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,400
Right.
70
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,910
Be back in 20 minutes.
71
00:04:33,450 --> 00:04:35,720
Unscheduled offworld activation!
72
00:04:36,170 --> 00:04:38,410
Activate the shield.
73
00:04:42,270 --> 00:04:44,510
I'm not receiving an idc.
74
00:04:44,620 --> 00:04:47,310
This is sheppard. Do not lower the shield.
75
00:04:47,310 --> 00:04:48,990
The entire tower will be flooded.
76
00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:50,830
I have no intention of doing that, colonel.
77
00:04:50,830 --> 00:04:52,290
What's your status?
78
00:04:52,580 --> 00:04:55,050
It's cold and wet. The stargate's underwater.
79
00:04:55,190 --> 00:04:56,460
The entire valley's flooded.
80
00:04:56,510 --> 00:04:58,180
And it's freezing!
81
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,660
We need you to send a jumper through so we can stay warm and dry until the water recedes.
82
00:05:03,900 --> 00:05:05,920
Will do, colonel, hold on.
83
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,260
Holding on. Sheppard out.
84
00:05:16,330 --> 00:05:18,170
Rescue one is standing by.
85
00:05:19,950 --> 00:05:20,830
What's taking so long?
86
00:05:20,890 --> 00:05:22,740
Why isn't the gate disengaging?
87
00:05:26,540 --> 00:05:27,390
It's the water.
88
00:05:27,460 --> 00:05:29,960
The constant pressure's forcing the wormhole to stay active,
89
00:05:30,050 --> 00:05:32,740
which means we're going to have to wait the maximum amount of time a stargate can stay open.
90
00:05:32,740 --> 00:05:33,960
38 minutes.
91
00:05:34,110 --> 00:05:38,060
Well, we're down to 32, and before you say I told you so, we had no choice.
92
00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:39,920
I can't stop shivering.
93
00:05:39,980 --> 00:05:42,430
You're letting all the hot air out of your mouth.
94
00:05:42,510 --> 00:05:45,470
All right, everybody, you'll be warm soon enough.
95
00:05:45,530 --> 00:05:48,330
I don't know, I think I got wetter than you did.
96
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:51,850
I don't know, I golea litt damp dialing the dhd.
97
00:05:51,940 --> 00:05:53,960
The research camp was farther up this valley.
98
00:05:54,050 --> 00:05:56,110
I'm a little concerned r Dr.Nichols' team.
99
00:05:56,380 --> 00:05:57,580
Right.
100
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,450
Anyone at the research camp, this is colonel sheppard. Please respond.
101
00:06:06,610 --> 00:06:09,460
I repeat, this is colonel sheppard. Please respond.
102
00:06:09,530 --> 00:06:11,010
I'm pretty sure they're all dead.
103
00:06:11,010 --> 00:06:12,570
We can't know that, rodney.
104
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,830
Look, the research team was studying the effects of global warming.
105
00:06:14,830 --> 00:06:17,710
They set up camp at the foot of a massive glacier up the valley.
106
00:06:17,710 --> 00:06:19,230
You think an ice dam broke?
107
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,410
It fits.
108
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:25,210
The ancients don't put stargates on a flood plain, and I certainly don't think the tide just came in.
109
00:06:25,370 --> 00:06:27,670
It explains why the water's so freezing.
110
00:06:31,490 --> 00:06:32,630
Aw, okay...
111
00:06:32,940 --> 00:06:35,650
okay, so now I'm hot, and I'm still shivering.
112
00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:38,460
Were you running a fever before we left?
113
00:06:38,470 --> 00:06:41,920
I don't know, maybe. I'm always running something.
114
00:06:44,660 --> 00:06:48,030
All right, I think the water's receded a little.
115
00:06:48,210 --> 00:06:50,460
So we're going to be stuck here all night.
116
00:06:50,610 --> 00:06:53,890
In the back of a warm, cozy jumper, all right?
117
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,230
All you need to do is hold on for, I don't know, 30 minutes or so...
118
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:12,760
how long has he been unresponsive?
119
00:07:12,950 --> 00:07:15,210
Since he fell asleep in the jumper. About nine hours.
120
00:07:15,210 --> 00:07:17,240
Okay, let's get him to the infirmary. I want him under a scanner.
121
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,550
I want to have a look at you guys, too.
122
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:20,600
We're good.
123
00:07:20,790 --> 00:07:22,890
By that I mean now.
124
00:07:23,650 --> 00:07:25,800
I think you've just made a case for my proposal
125
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,120
to send a malp ahead of every single transit.
126
00:07:28,210 --> 00:07:29,960
Stuff happens, woolsey, and by "stuff,"
127
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,120
I mean- I know what you mean, thank you.
128
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,120
Why didn't you return in the jumper I sent you?
129
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,520
Well, I ordered the rescue party to continue the search for nichols' team.
130
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,230
There's a chance they're still alive.
131
00:07:39,540 --> 00:07:40,350
Of course.
132
00:07:40,350 --> 00:07:44,330
I got to go get checked out, and then, uh, I'm going to check on rodney.
133
00:07:51,950 --> 00:07:54,060
Well, how's our boy?
134
00:07:54,150 --> 00:07:57,420
No fever, no hypothermia, nothing on the scan at all.
135
00:07:57,420 --> 00:07:58,220
How about you guys?
136
00:07:58,230 --> 00:07:59,700
Like I said, we're good.
137
00:07:59,740 --> 00:08:02,330
Yeah, yeah. But we're not the ones who became unconscious.
138
00:08:02,330 --> 00:08:05,580
Well, I didn't really get much sleep the night before, and I did skimp on breakfast, so...
139
00:08:05,820 --> 00:08:08,820
you know, woolsey wants to send out a malp before every transit now.
140
00:08:08,820 --> 00:08:11,020
- Well, that's going to get old fast.
- That's what I said.
141
00:08:11,420 --> 00:08:14,080
Hey, can I go now? I feel a little silly lying here.
142
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,740
I'm keeping you under observation for a little longer.
143
00:08:16,740 --> 00:08:17,870
Besides, I ordered you dinner.
144
00:08:17,870 --> 00:08:19,780
Well, then you can observe me eat, because I'm famished.
145
00:08:19,780 --> 00:08:21,940
It's official. He's better.
146
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,560
See you guys.
147
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,030
Do you want me to send them in?
148
00:08:27,140 --> 00:08:28,370
Okay.
149
00:08:34,890 --> 00:08:37,070
Rodney's all ready for you.
150
00:08:39,530 --> 00:08:41,410
What am I supposed to say?
151
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,860
Doesn't matter.
152
00:09:01,370 --> 00:09:02,620
Meredith?
153
00:09:04,630 --> 00:09:06,090
It's me. It's jeannie, mere. I'm-
154
00:09:06,090 --> 00:09:07,900
you're my sister.
155
00:09:09,500 --> 00:09:10,360
Yes.
156
00:09:10,450 --> 00:09:12,430
Meredith's my...
157
00:09:13,770 --> 00:09:14,800
real name.
158
00:09:14,980 --> 00:09:17,420
It's your first name, that's right,
159
00:09:17,710 --> 00:09:19,520
but you never liked it.
160
00:09:19,580 --> 00:09:20,740
No.
161
00:09:21,090 --> 00:09:22,860
No, it'S...
162
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,430
a girl's name.
163
00:09:26,910 --> 00:09:28,960
Sometimes, yes,
164
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,210
but you go by rodney.
165
00:09:32,460 --> 00:09:33,970
Rodney mckay,
166
00:09:34,180 --> 00:09:36,440
Mr.Rodney mckay.
167
00:09:36,980 --> 00:09:40,230
Rodney mckay, rodney mckay...
168
00:09:44,350 --> 00:09:47,110
you're crying because of me.
169
00:09:47,850 --> 00:09:51,710
No, I'm crying because I've missed you very much.
170
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,910
'Cause you're my sister.
171
00:09:54,170 --> 00:09:56,310
That's right.
172
00:09:57,810 --> 00:09:59,270
I'M...
173
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:01,010
sick.
174
00:10:01,330 --> 00:10:02,520
I know.
175
00:10:03,660 --> 00:10:04,860
I know.
176
00:10:05,770 --> 00:10:07,420
I'm here now.
177
00:10:09,580 --> 00:10:10,540
I...
178
00:10:12,020 --> 00:10:14,310
sweetie, I just need to go outside for one second, okay?
179
00:10:14,310 --> 00:10:17,070
I will be right back, I promise.
180
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,310
- Hey... - I know.
181
00:10:25,830 --> 00:10:27,420
I just need a second.
182
00:10:27,420 --> 00:10:29,230
I just don't want him to see.
183
00:10:29,260 --> 00:10:30,480
I know how you feel.
184
00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:33,170
- I felt the same way.
- I'll go back in, I will.
185
00:10:33,620 --> 00:10:36,450
He needs me, and I want to be able to say goodbye, but it's like...
186
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,960
- it's like he's already gone.
- I know.
187
00:10:41,510 --> 00:10:42,940
There's a way.
188
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:45,760
What? How?
189
00:10:46,020 --> 00:10:47,910
There's a place. I've been there before.
190
00:10:47,980 --> 00:10:51,060
He'll be himself again, and you can say goodbye.
191
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,080
I don't understand, then why haven't you already taken him?
192
00:10:54,090 --> 00:10:55,300
Because it's dangerous,
193
00:10:56,350 --> 00:10:58,350
but I'm willing to risk it if you are.
194
00:11:04,590 --> 00:11:05,630
all set?
195
00:11:06,490 --> 00:11:09,260
Remind me to register a complaint with whose ever idea this was.
196
00:11:09,260 --> 00:11:11,980
It was yours, actually.
197
00:11:11,980 --> 00:11:13,110
Oh, ho ho...
198
00:11:13,180 --> 00:11:15,320
well, complaint duly registered.
199
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,310
It was a good idea to keep a record of what's happening to you
200
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:20,370
- and how fast, but if you'd rather not-
- no, it's fine. It's fine.
201
00:11:20,420 --> 00:11:21,660
My name, right?
202
00:11:21,660 --> 00:11:22,480
Right.
203
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:24,830
Hey, I remembered something. Yay!
204
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,670
My name is Dr.Rodney mckay.
205
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:32,200
I'm head of the department of science something in atlantis in the, um...
206
00:11:35,610 --> 00:11:36,780
for god's sake...
207
00:11:37,210 --> 00:11:38,220
in the pegasus galaxy.
208
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,610
Okay, not bad, keep going.
209
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:42,910
Jennifer, there'S...
210
00:11:43,420 --> 00:11:45,570
there's something I wanted to, um...
211
00:11:46,420 --> 00:11:50,940
you know, while I remember, while I still can, something I wanted to say...
212
00:11:51,580 --> 00:11:52,900
go ahead.
213
00:11:56,030 --> 00:11:57,870
Jeannie, uh...
214
00:11:58,060 --> 00:12:00,560
I wasn't expecting anyone this late.
215
00:12:00,970 --> 00:12:04,880
Yeah, I'm kind of one of those people who needs all the information they can get.
216
00:12:07,470 --> 00:12:10,260
This is his most recent scan.
217
00:12:10,770 --> 00:12:13,750
This dark area that looks like a tumor
218
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,940
is actually a parasitic organism.
219
00:12:16,030 --> 00:12:19,940
Its tendrils spread far beyond any hope of surgical extraction,
220
00:12:19,940 --> 00:12:22,130
and it's not responding to treatment.
221
00:12:22,140 --> 00:12:24,590
Even stasis barely slowed its progression.
222
00:12:24,590 --> 00:12:27,040
There are still a number of drug combinations that-
223
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,360
he was infected somehow on his last mission?
224
00:12:29,500 --> 00:12:32,270
Well, maybe, but not necessarily.
225
00:12:32,270 --> 00:12:35,770
It was too small to show up on a scan at the time,
226
00:12:36,210 --> 00:12:41,210
but in the pegasus galaxy, the condition is fairly common among the very old.
227
00:12:41,210 --> 00:12:43,530
Right, so why him?
228
00:12:44,150 --> 00:12:47,210
It's possible we're all exposed to it and fight it off.
229
00:12:47,490 --> 00:12:52,060
Rodney was already suffering from a viral infection when he went on the mission at m44 5y9,
230
00:12:52,060 --> 00:12:54,980
and then all that time in freezing water-
231
00:12:54,980 --> 00:12:57,180
so his resistance was low.
232
00:12:58,950 --> 00:13:03,140
The parasite doesn't so much as kill cells as render them dormant
233
00:13:03,220 --> 00:13:07,020
for reasons I still don't completely understand, but
234
00:13:07,380 --> 00:13:10,880
the net result is ever-diminishing brain function.
235
00:13:10,950 --> 00:13:14,830
As it spreads, he'll lose motor control, regulation of organ function-
236
00:13:14,870 --> 00:13:18,080
ronon's people call the disease "second childhood."
237
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:21,450
- You talked to ronon.
- Yes.
238
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:23,630
Okay, I know what he's told you.
239
00:13:23,630 --> 00:13:25,660
That he's dying, and there's nothing you can do.
240
00:13:25,660 --> 00:13:30,090
No, he's dying, and I'm doing everything I can.
241
00:13:30,210 --> 00:13:32,200
I have to ask you...
242
00:13:32,750 --> 00:13:35,680
why did you tell me you didn't recognize the symptoms in time?
243
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,950
Because he was already showing the symptoms when he came back from the mission, and...
244
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,270
I didn't see it.
245
00:13:44,780 --> 00:13:45,840
So?
246
00:13:46,070 --> 00:13:47,280
Just what the doctor ordered.
247
00:13:48,220 --> 00:13:49,030
Funny.
248
00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:50,470
You want my fruit cup?
249
00:13:50,770 --> 00:13:51,740
No, no, no.
250
00:13:51,740 --> 00:13:53,150
I think you do.
251
00:13:53,390 --> 00:13:56,080
Eating from the patient's tray is kind of frowned upon.
252
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,600
Jennifer, we practically dated.
253
00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:59,410
You bought me one drink. That's hardly dating.
254
00:13:59,410 --> 00:14:01,870
Right, so now I'm asking you to have dinner with me.
255
00:14:01,870 --> 00:14:03,490
I mean, such as it is.
256
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,720
I do love the fruit cup.
257
00:14:07,780 --> 00:14:10,140
Not that this is exactly the dinner I had in mind, but...
258
00:14:10,470 --> 00:14:11,670
is that an invitation?
259
00:14:11,670 --> 00:14:13,580
Only if you promise to accept.
260
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,110
If I wasn't so taken by the new rodney mckay
261
00:14:20,110 --> 00:14:24,910
the parasite might've been small enough for me to operate without causing significant brain trauma.
262
00:14:26,130 --> 00:14:29,220
By the time he started to forget, it was too late.
263
00:14:31,180 --> 00:14:34,380
I haven't given up on trying to find a treatment-
264
00:14:34,380 --> 00:14:39,320
ronon told me about this place that could give mere one more day as himself again before he dies.
265
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,870
Jeannie, you can't possibly believe-
266
00:14:40,870 --> 00:14:43,060
and that you're the one who won't let him go.
267
00:14:44,710 --> 00:14:46,150
It's on a planet called talus.
268
00:14:46,150 --> 00:14:48,670
It's one of the original worlds of the ancestors.
269
00:14:48,870 --> 00:14:51,420
It took us about five or six hours to get there from the gate,
270
00:14:51,530 --> 00:14:54,860
but I was just a kid, and my grandfather had to be carried most of the way.
271
00:14:54,860 --> 00:14:57,070
We could do it in about half that time.
272
00:14:57,210 --> 00:14:59,940
There's a small problem with that plan.
273
00:15:00,510 --> 00:15:04,690
The wraith established a major outpost there during the replicator war.
274
00:15:04,850 --> 00:15:05,920
It's still there.
275
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,550
Yeah, well, that's never stopped us from going anywhere we needed to go before.
276
00:15:09,610 --> 00:15:12,080
Well, it's not just that.
277
00:15:12,190 --> 00:15:13,490
You don't believe it's real.
278
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,570
- I'm not saying-
- I am, actually.
279
00:15:15,620 --> 00:15:16,700
I was there.
280
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,850
Yes, but you were six years old.
281
00:15:19,150 --> 00:15:21,910
Ronon, listen to what you've told us-
282
00:15:21,950 --> 00:15:25,270
a magical shrine, inside a cave, behind a waterfall-
283
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,540
did I say it was magic?
284
00:15:26,550 --> 00:15:30,560
No, but you did say that people afflicted with mckay's condition
285
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,450
suddenly revert to their former selves for...
286
00:15:33,650 --> 00:15:36,560
the shrine of talus is also known among my people,
287
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,890
for victims of the second childhood.
288
00:15:39,010 --> 00:15:43,180
It offers the gift of one last day, and a quick death.
289
00:15:43,220 --> 00:15:44,980
That doesn't necessarily make it real.
290
00:15:44,990 --> 00:15:49,840
I'm telling you that in a matter of seconds I saw my grandfather go from someone who couldn't speak his own name,
291
00:15:50,220 --> 00:15:52,260
to the man that taught me how to track and hunt.
292
00:15:52,730 --> 00:15:54,970
You learned to hunt when you were six years old?
293
00:16:00,990 --> 00:16:02,370
For one day,
294
00:16:02,620 --> 00:16:06,090
he got to hold his wife in his arms, and share a meal with the people that he loved,
295
00:16:06,180 --> 00:16:07,550
and then he died with honor.
296
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:10,240
You can say I was too young to remember,
297
00:16:10,530 --> 00:16:11,580
but I know what I saw,
298
00:16:11,690 --> 00:16:14,070
and we can do the same thing for mckay.
299
00:16:17,290 --> 00:16:19,010
If you think that's not worth it,
300
00:16:20,340 --> 00:16:22,100
you're wrong.
301
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,390
I've never told anyone this, outside of...
302
00:16:32,820 --> 00:16:35,360
my father had a disease called alzheimer'S.
303
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:40,260
It's similar in many respects to the condition that Dr.Mckay is suffering from.
304
00:16:40,330 --> 00:16:45,600
My point is, I had a similar moment with him to the one you just described.
305
00:16:45,870 --> 00:16:49,630
He hadn't recognized me, literally, for months,
306
00:16:49,710 --> 00:16:52,940
then one day, out of the blue,
307
00:16:53,780 --> 00:16:56,230
he had a moment of absolute clarity.
308
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,840
He said "richard, what are you doing here?"
309
00:17:00,010 --> 00:17:01,770
And I said,
310
00:17:02,020 --> 00:17:06,400
"dad, I, uh, I'm here to see you,"
311
00:17:06,490 --> 00:17:08,180
and he said...
312
00:17:09,670 --> 00:17:12,610
he said, "isn't that wonderful,"
313
00:17:13,890 --> 00:17:16,130
and then he was gone again.
314
00:17:17,380 --> 00:17:20,690
- Now, couldn't you be remembering a similar-
- it's not the same.
315
00:17:20,820 --> 00:17:22,740
- Ronon, look-
- I owe him this!
316
00:17:24,810 --> 00:17:26,290
- I'll take him myself.
- I'll go with him.
317
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:27,720
Hold on, hold on.
318
00:17:29,540 --> 00:17:33,550
We know for a fact there are two hive ships and 10,000 wraith on the ground.
319
00:17:33,550 --> 00:17:35,740
If we're even going to consider this,
320
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,200
all right, we have to make a plan.
321
00:17:39,340 --> 00:17:40,130
Fine, make your plan.
322
00:17:40,140 --> 00:17:43,660
I'm sorry, but he's not going anywhere without my permission,
323
00:17:43,660 --> 00:17:48,560
and you won't get that until we talk to rodney.
324
00:17:57,410 --> 00:17:58,650
Hey, rodney...
325
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,130
you got some visitors. John's here.
326
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,140
So are teyla and ronon.
327
00:18:04,140 --> 00:18:06,080
The whole team.
328
00:18:06,530 --> 00:18:07,680
Ronon dex.
329
00:18:07,900 --> 00:18:09,640
That's right, buddy.
330
00:18:09,940 --> 00:18:11,540
I want to take you to a place,
331
00:18:11,650 --> 00:18:15,600
a place that's going to give you a chance to be yourself again for a little while.
332
00:18:20,770 --> 00:18:23,150
As you were before you became ill.
333
00:18:25,020 --> 00:18:26,570
Before...
334
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,210
hey, pal.
335
00:18:32,230 --> 00:18:34,340
Hey, j-john.
336
00:18:36,210 --> 00:18:38,570
Truth is, we don'T...
337
00:18:38,930 --> 00:18:40,970
know exactly what's going to happen to you,
338
00:18:40,970 --> 00:18:43,790
but we're willing to try, if you are.
339
00:18:44,260 --> 00:18:45,750
Okay.
340
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,030
Okay. Okay, well, that settles it, then.
341
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:50,530
No, it doesn'T.
342
00:18:50,620 --> 00:18:53,500
Rodney, they haven't told you everything.
343
00:18:53,510 --> 00:18:54,480
He doesn't need to know.
344
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,330
The planet they want to take you to
345
00:18:56,530 --> 00:18:57,860
is a wraith outpost.
346
00:18:57,860 --> 00:18:59,660
You remember who the wraith are?
347
00:19:00,020 --> 00:19:03,610
It means going will be very, very dangerous,
348
00:19:03,610 --> 00:19:05,150
not just for you,
349
00:19:05,420 --> 00:19:06,500
but for your friends.
350
00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:07,820
We're willing to take that risk.
351
00:19:07,910 --> 00:19:10,790
A risk for which, and I'm sorry-
352
00:19:10,790 --> 00:19:14,500
even if it works, which i very much doubt-
353
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,470
you might revert to your former self for one day.
354
00:19:19,630 --> 00:19:23,160
Now, forgive me if that sounds more like torture than a blessing.
355
00:19:23,250 --> 00:19:26,630
We're still coming up with new ideas on how to treat this thing,
356
00:19:26,750 --> 00:19:30,790
but if you do this, if you leave atlantis...
357
00:19:30,900 --> 00:19:32,290
atlantis...
358
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,560
it's over.
359
00:19:35,750 --> 00:19:37,610
I can't help you.
360
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,030
Doctor...
361
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,560
he doesn't understand.
362
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,540
No, he doesn't,
363
00:19:54,010 --> 00:19:58,730
which means the decision on whether or not to let him go is mine,
364
00:20:00,070 --> 00:20:03,310
and I haven't given up on trying to cure my patient.
365
00:20:12,790 --> 00:20:14,890
And you still haven't given up.
366
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,210
No, because I don't think the damage to the cells is permanent,
367
00:20:18,210 --> 00:20:22,330
which means if I can to safely remove the parasite- how long have you been at it?
368
00:20:22,330 --> 00:20:23,530
Weeks?
369
00:20:23,690 --> 00:20:27,310
And how many days does he have left? Two at most?
370
00:20:27,630 --> 00:20:30,560
Look, I know you've done everything you can.
371
00:20:30,590 --> 00:20:34,540
I know you feel responsible, and you want to keep trying, but...
372
00:20:34,860 --> 00:20:36,540
I'm his next of kin.
373
00:20:36,650 --> 00:20:38,500
That makes the decision mine.
374
00:20:39,980 --> 00:20:41,920
And we're taking him.
375
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,230
It's recording.
376
00:20:48,170 --> 00:20:49,520
Well, aren't you supposed to say, "action" or something?
377
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:50,860
Oh, sorry.
378
00:20:50,910 --> 00:20:52,180
I'm kidding.
379
00:20:52,420 --> 00:20:54,970
Okay, here we go.
380
00:20:55,970 --> 00:20:57,590
My name is Dr.Rodney mckay.
381
00:20:57,650 --> 00:21:02,370
I am head of the science and research departments here in atlantis,
382
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,520
in the pegasus galaxy, in the local cluster,
383
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,800
in the universe as we know it.
384
00:21:08,930 --> 00:21:13,220
The purpose of this log is to provide a baseline for myself,
385
00:21:13,490 --> 00:21:17,930
and for Dr.Keller, to monitor the progress of my, um...
386
00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:22,420
memory loss.
387
00:21:23,650 --> 00:21:25,100
Ironic, isn't it?
388
00:21:26,050 --> 00:21:27,890
By reciting the aforementioned,
389
00:21:27,890 --> 00:21:30,690
as well as a list of things I know like the back of my hand,
390
00:21:30,830 --> 00:21:34,610
starting with pi, to, say, 12 decimals.
391
00:21:34,730 --> 00:21:38,310
3.1415926535...
392
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,020
rodney on board?
393
00:21:41,020 --> 00:21:41,860
Yes.
394
00:21:42,060 --> 00:21:43,600
Are we clear on the rules of engagement?
395
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,340
We'll get in and get out before the wraith even know it.
396
00:21:45,340 --> 00:21:46,870
Colonel sheppard,
397
00:21:47,740 --> 00:21:50,910
if in fact Dr.Mckay does regain his...
398
00:21:52,730 --> 00:21:54,470
say goodbye for me.
399
00:22:01,690 --> 00:22:03,260
I thought you didn't believe.
400
00:22:03,310 --> 00:22:05,070
Is that a prerequisite?
401
00:22:09,010 --> 00:22:10,730
He'll be glad you're here.
402
00:22:13,260 --> 00:22:16,070
All right, we're either going to get away with this, or we're not.
403
00:22:16,140 --> 00:22:19,000
If we don't, the ride's going to wild, and it's is going to be fast,
404
00:22:19,110 --> 00:22:20,850
so I need everyone prepared.
405
00:22:20,980 --> 00:22:23,350
Jumper three, standing by.
406
00:22:23,350 --> 00:22:25,400
Send the malp through.
407
00:22:37,150 --> 00:22:42,940
The malp is clear of the gate, and they're firing on it from both sides of what appears to be a deep valley.
408
00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:45,820
It's deploying smoke.
409
00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:48,690
You should have complete coverage of the area in five seconds.
410
00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:50,890
Okay, see you tomorrow.
411
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,930
I hope so.
412
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,270
That's one hell of a valley.
413
00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:15,510
Do you think they detected us before we were able to cloak?
414
00:23:15,510 --> 00:23:17,650
No, I think the smokescreen worked.
415
00:23:17,730 --> 00:23:21,110
Hopefully they think we just sent a malp through ahead of us
416
00:23:21,190 --> 00:23:24,360
and changed our mind when they blew it up.
417
00:23:27,540 --> 00:23:29,670
All right, I'm going to do a sweep of the landing area.
418
00:23:29,670 --> 00:23:31,400
Shouldn't take more than a few minutes.
419
00:23:33,140 --> 00:23:35,990
John, john!
420
00:23:44,230 --> 00:23:45,230
John!
421
00:23:46,140 --> 00:23:47,770
John!
422
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:49,690
John!
423
00:23:49,970 --> 00:23:51,450
You were there, and-and then he-
424
00:23:51,450 --> 00:23:53,200
rodney, rodney, I'm right here.
425
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,490
- What's wrong?
- I woke up, everyone had left!
426
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,620
Oh... buddy, I...
427
00:23:57,630 --> 00:24:00,660
I'm sorry, I thought you'd fallen asleep.
428
00:24:01,730 --> 00:24:05,140
I was... I got so scared, I was sure that...
429
00:24:05,550 --> 00:24:08,380
by the morning what was left of my mind was going to be gone!
430
00:24:08,580 --> 00:24:10,180
I'm going to take you back to your quarters, okay?
431
00:24:10,180 --> 00:24:12,110
John... john, I've never been so scared.
432
00:24:12,110 --> 00:24:15,430
I'm slipping away. I'm slipping away, and I don't know how to stop myself!
433
00:24:15,550 --> 00:24:17,930
Look, you're still here. All right?
434
00:24:18,140 --> 00:24:19,700
You're still here.
435
00:24:19,860 --> 00:24:20,750
Yeah.
436
00:24:22,430 --> 00:24:23,720
I am.
437
00:24:26,210 --> 00:24:28,710
And I'm not going anywhere.
438
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,350
You know, you want to hang out, you just...
439
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,340
hang out.
440
00:24:33,540 --> 00:24:35,230
I don't know what to do.
441
00:24:35,860 --> 00:24:37,810
I don't know what to do with myself.
442
00:24:39,310 --> 00:24:41,190
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have woken you up.
443
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,610
All right, look, it's a nice night out.
444
00:24:44,350 --> 00:24:45,950
Let's go have some beer on the pier, okay?
445
00:24:48,770 --> 00:24:49,990
I drink beer?
446
00:24:50,060 --> 00:24:51,250
A lot.
447
00:24:51,340 --> 00:24:52,390
Take this.
448
00:24:55,090 --> 00:24:56,780
Come on, buddy, let's go.
449
00:25:05,610 --> 00:25:07,270
I don't know, should I have another?
450
00:25:07,270 --> 00:25:09,180
What could happen?
451
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,900
I shouldn't have banged on your door like that. I feel ridiculous.
452
00:25:15,110 --> 00:25:16,340
Don'T.
453
00:25:19,300 --> 00:25:23,490
I've been trying to remember the name of my sister's kid.
454
00:25:24,610 --> 00:25:25,590
Betty.
455
00:25:26,180 --> 00:25:27,560
Betty...
456
00:25:29,650 --> 00:25:31,180
pretty sure that's not it.
457
00:25:32,990 --> 00:25:34,490
It's madison. See?
458
00:25:34,620 --> 00:25:36,020
At least you remembered what it wasn'T.
459
00:25:36,030 --> 00:25:37,330
Oh, there's an underrated skill.
460
00:25:37,330 --> 00:25:39,460
I'm just saying you may not be as far gone as you think.
461
00:25:39,460 --> 00:25:41,110
I'm hiding it.
462
00:25:41,340 --> 00:25:43,970
Believe me, I've already forgotten more than most people will ever know,
463
00:25:43,970 --> 00:25:45,880
and I know that sounds...
464
00:25:47,170 --> 00:25:48,600
arrogant, is that right?
465
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,030
Yeah.
466
00:25:50,290 --> 00:25:51,750
That works.
467
00:25:52,270 --> 00:25:56,530
This morning I was trying to help zelenka finish a device that was apparently my idea.
468
00:25:56,530 --> 00:25:59,710
I was useless.
469
00:26:01,700 --> 00:26:05,450
Jennifer says it's going to get worse now almost by the hour.
470
00:26:06,150 --> 00:26:10,790
In a week or so, I won't even remember my name.
471
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,360
How's about...
472
00:26:19,630 --> 00:26:21,630
how about we say goodbye now?
473
00:26:21,740 --> 00:26:23,090
No.
474
00:26:23,910 --> 00:26:26,240
- What do you mean, no?
- I mean, I'm not saying goodbye.
475
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,190
- Well, I'm saying it anyway.
- I'm not listening.
476
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,810
- Yeah, but pretty soon I won't even know who you are.
- Then I'll remind you.
477
00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:32,610
But I don't want you to see me like that.
478
00:26:32,610 --> 00:26:35,150
I want you to remember me as I am, as your genius friend, not as some shell-
479
00:26:35,150 --> 00:26:36,290
not happening.
480
00:26:37,090 --> 00:26:39,530
Please. You're stuck with me, rodney. Just accept it.
481
00:26:39,590 --> 00:26:40,880
- Yeah, but- - no!
482
00:26:42,690 --> 00:26:44,180
That's final.
483
00:26:48,170 --> 00:26:48,970
Okay.
484
00:26:51,730 --> 00:26:52,910
Okay.
485
00:26:58,820 --> 00:27:00,700
You're a good friend, arthur.
486
00:27:24,180 --> 00:27:26,080
All right, landing area's clear.
487
00:27:26,330 --> 00:27:28,360
I'm taking us in.
488
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:44,610
Where are we going?
489
00:27:44,780 --> 00:27:46,330
Up there, do you see?
490
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,450
Behind the waterfall, there is a cave,
491
00:27:48,580 --> 00:27:51,790
and when we get there, you will spend a wonderful day with your friends.
492
00:27:51,940 --> 00:27:53,050
I'm tired.
493
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:54,310
I know.
494
00:27:54,380 --> 00:27:56,410
We'll be there soon.
495
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,750
So... what do we do?
496
00:28:33,090 --> 00:28:34,160
We wait.
497
00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:35,310
Rodney...
498
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,480
look at the waterfall. It's cool, huh?
499
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:38,660
No
500
00:28:39,630 --> 00:28:43,080
I'm getting very faint energy readings.
501
00:28:43,210 --> 00:28:44,380
What kind of energy readings?
502
00:28:44,380 --> 00:28:45,830
I'm not sure.
503
00:28:47,150 --> 00:28:48,140
Look at this.
504
00:28:48,140 --> 00:28:49,440
Radiation?
505
00:28:49,660 --> 00:28:51,550
Not that I've ever seen.
506
00:28:51,550 --> 00:28:53,200
Maybe we can ask rodney in a minute.
507
00:28:53,260 --> 00:28:54,290
John!
508
00:28:54,290 --> 00:28:55,890
Just hang in there, buddy.
509
00:28:55,890 --> 00:28:57,150
I want to go home now!
510
00:28:57,180 --> 00:28:59,270
Perhaps he should stand closer to this tablet.
511
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,150
I- I don't know. I think that's the source of these energy readings.
512
00:29:02,150 --> 00:29:03,630
I want to go now!
513
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,560
- A little bit longer.
- Go now!
514
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:19,810
Jeannie?
515
00:29:20,260 --> 00:29:21,870
I'm here, mere.
516
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,020
Yeah, obviously.
517
00:29:26,430 --> 00:29:28,160
He's back.
518
00:29:29,710 --> 00:29:32,230
Somebody please tell me what the hell we're all doing here?
519
00:29:36,170 --> 00:29:37,740
Rodney mckay.
520
00:29:38,290 --> 00:29:40,650
I'm head of science... and... and...
521
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,270
research.
522
00:29:47,870 --> 00:29:48,860
It's okay.
523
00:29:48,870 --> 00:29:50,430
No, it is not.
524
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:54,770
Atlantis...
525
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:57,930
pegasus...
526
00:29:58,810 --> 00:30:01,470
it's 3.1...4...
527
00:30:04,820 --> 00:30:06,550
I don't know.
528
00:30:09,030 --> 00:30:10,830
How can I not know that?
529
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,940
Do you want to stop?
530
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,620
I keep seeing a face.
531
00:30:19,260 --> 00:30:21,190
Every time I close my eyes.
532
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,420
I think it's my mother.
533
00:30:28,630 --> 00:30:30,510
I don't- I don'T...
534
00:30:31,970 --> 00:30:33,490
r-recognize her...
535
00:30:33,850 --> 00:30:35,640
it's so long ago.
536
00:30:39,010 --> 00:30:42,200
She's saying words to me...
537
00:30:45,340 --> 00:30:47,850
I don't know them.
538
00:30:52,510 --> 00:30:55,070
Well, you can start with, what is this place?
539
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,480
It's the shrine of talus.
540
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,350
That means nothing to me.
541
00:30:58,350 --> 00:31:00,170
It's a planet of the ancestors. We brought you here.
542
00:31:00,180 --> 00:31:01,790
Thank you, Mr.Information.
543
00:31:01,790 --> 00:31:05,060
Since when did he become ronon the explainer, and why am I not in the infirmary, huh?
544
00:31:05,100 --> 00:31:06,440
What am I, better?
545
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,680
I am better!
546
00:31:08,890 --> 00:31:10,000
No, you're not.
547
00:31:10,140 --> 00:31:12,050
I am. I can feel it. This is amazing!
548
00:31:12,130 --> 00:31:16,180
Mere, we brought you here so we could have a chance to say goodbye to each other,
549
00:31:16,990 --> 00:31:18,680
but you're only going to feel like this for about a day.
550
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,930
- That's just how it works.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. What?
551
00:31:22,660 --> 00:31:25,360
What do you remember?
552
00:31:25,590 --> 00:31:28,820
I remember you not wanting me to say goodbye then. Why now all of a sudden?
553
00:31:28,980 --> 00:31:30,670
Look, and why one day? What's with that?
554
00:31:30,810 --> 00:31:32,310
It is a gift of the shrine,
555
00:31:32,420 --> 00:31:35,290
and from all of us who risked great danger to bring you here,
556
00:31:35,390 --> 00:31:37,890
one last chance to be with those you love.
557
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,850
And then what?
558
00:31:42,610 --> 00:31:43,620
I die?
559
00:31:43,850 --> 00:31:44,800
With honor.
560
00:31:44,830 --> 00:31:45,600
And dignity.
561
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,400
Screw that, I'll just stay here.
562
00:31:47,410 --> 00:31:48,480
Doesn't work that way.
563
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:49,420
Why not?
564
00:31:49,860 --> 00:31:52,110
One, this is a wraith-controlled planet.
565
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,010
And we're detecting ionizing radiation.
566
00:31:55,010 --> 00:31:56,900
In fact, we shouldn't be standing this close to the-
567
00:31:56,900 --> 00:31:58,740
you've got to be kidding me.
568
00:31:59,250 --> 00:32:00,270
How could you let them do this to me?
569
00:32:00,270 --> 00:32:02,220
Don't blame her. She didn't even want to do this.
570
00:32:02,220 --> 00:32:04,320
Then whose brilliant idea was it?
571
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:05,170
Mine.
572
00:32:05,170 --> 00:32:07,160
We all thought it was a good thing-
573
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,540
how could this possibly be a good thing?
574
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,570
Look, I'd got past the humiliation, I've said my goodbyes.
575
00:32:12,570 --> 00:32:16,480
Meredith, I'm sorry this happened to you, but I'm not sorry that I got this chance.
576
00:32:16,810 --> 00:32:19,460
Please, just... try to see this as an opportunity and not-
577
00:32:19,460 --> 00:32:21,000
not torture?
578
00:32:26,930 --> 00:32:29,060
Look, I'm sorry, I just...
579
00:32:30,030 --> 00:32:33,910
I thought I was going to be okay, and then now you tell me...
580
00:32:37,580 --> 00:32:39,600
did you have some kind of itinerary planned?
581
00:32:39,770 --> 00:32:42,580
Well, actually, we're going to have a big feast first.
582
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,210
Last supper, huh?
583
00:32:44,330 --> 00:32:47,420
Well, suits your messiah complex.
584
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:49,280
True.
585
00:32:51,180 --> 00:32:53,560
Please don't be mad at me.
586
00:32:54,710 --> 00:32:59,250
I guess if I had to choose the people I would spend my last day with, then...
587
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,710
What is it?
588
00:33:06,410 --> 00:33:09,270
Honestly, I didn't expect it to work.
589
00:33:09,270 --> 00:33:12,110
I expected nothing would happen, and that would be that.
590
00:33:12,190 --> 00:33:15,190
So why did it?
591
00:33:16,930 --> 00:33:20,230
You don't believe in magic shrines any more than I do.
592
00:33:20,390 --> 00:33:22,180
Show him the readings.
593
00:33:29,470 --> 00:33:30,410
That's what I said.
594
00:33:30,410 --> 00:33:31,760
You said "hmm"?
595
00:33:31,890 --> 00:33:34,450
I just meant that I thought it was weird, too.
596
00:33:34,450 --> 00:33:35,740
So what do you think, antimatter?
597
00:33:35,740 --> 00:33:38,680
Or a superheavy element the ancients used to use as an energy source.
598
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:39,740
I've never seen it before-
599
00:33:39,740 --> 00:33:41,880
or created to power whatever this place used to be.
600
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,410
Who could tell what that is? Must be thousands of years-
601
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:45,490
Whoa,
602
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,090
- see that spike?
- Come on, this is your party. Let's have some fun.
603
00:33:48,090 --> 00:33:50,920
For me, this is fun. Just... save me some ham.
604
00:33:51,050 --> 00:33:52,140
Whoa, there it goes again.
605
00:33:52,170 --> 00:33:54,220
It's like some kind of intermittent gamma that's-
606
00:33:54,220 --> 00:33:56,180
- come with me.
- What? Why?
607
00:33:56,350 --> 00:33:57,900
Because I need to find out something.
608
00:33:57,900 --> 00:34:00,240
- Where are we going?
- Fuhoallly l the way back to atlantis.
609
00:34:06,980 --> 00:34:07,830
Sorry...
610
00:34:07,830 --> 00:34:09,610
why did you do that?
611
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,370
To determine whether the parasite would expand rapidly back into his brain
612
00:34:14,370 --> 00:34:17,420
when we took him from the radiation source, and I think it did.
613
00:34:17,420 --> 00:34:23,080
The reashy w his symptoms disappeared when we came here was because it contracted to protect itself.
614
00:34:23,670 --> 00:34:25,650
All right, well, what does that mean for us?
615
00:34:25,650 --> 00:34:28,210
That leaving this chamber will probably kill him.
616
00:34:28,790 --> 00:34:31,080
We can't take him back to atlantis.
617
00:34:31,350 --> 00:34:32,390
So...
618
00:34:33,660 --> 00:34:37,100
we're going to have to find a way a way for me to operate on him right here.
619
00:34:51,580 --> 00:34:53,880
I thought you already tried radiation.
620
00:34:54,150 --> 00:34:57,210
Well, I did, but we'd never come across this kind before.
621
00:34:57,290 --> 00:34:59,220
The parasite is radiosensitive to it.
622
00:34:59,220 --> 00:35:00,820
That's why the shrine works.
623
00:35:00,950 --> 00:35:05,640
You feel fine for one day until the radiation starts making you feel sick, and you leave.
624
00:35:05,740 --> 00:35:08,780
The farther away you get, the more rapidly the parasite expands back into the brain.
625
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,970
And your day is over. I get it.
626
00:35:11,250 --> 00:35:13,850
So, if we're here, it's small enough to operate?
627
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,410
Well, I'm guessing here,
628
00:35:15,410 --> 00:35:18,020
but it's the only thing I can think of that would explain his sudden remission,
629
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,500
but I'm not going to know for certain until I get in there.
630
00:35:20,610 --> 00:35:22,090
How are you going to manage that with a field kit?
631
00:35:22,090 --> 00:35:23,080
I don'T.
632
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,900
We would have to bring equipment back from atlantis.
633
00:35:24,900 --> 00:35:26,330
Well, that's a problem.
634
00:35:27,010 --> 00:35:30,570
What if we radio atlantis, ask them to send a jumper through with what I need?
635
00:35:30,570 --> 00:35:31,300
No, we can'T.
636
00:35:31,300 --> 00:35:33,280
I need that equipment, john.
637
00:35:33,630 --> 00:35:36,110
the wraith are never going to fall for the same trick twice.
638
00:35:36,110 --> 00:35:38,180
Even if somehow they don't pick up on our radio signal,
639
00:35:38,210 --> 00:35:41,320
and even if the second jumper makes it through the gauntlet,
640
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,480
they'll know we're here. We'll never make it back to atlantis.
641
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,550
If we don't try, he's dead.
642
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:49,890
What do you need?
643
00:35:49,890 --> 00:35:51,680
To operate? I already told you.
644
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,170
No, bare minimum, what do you need?
645
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,250
More than I have in my medical kit.
646
00:35:58,310 --> 00:36:01,360
I mean, I need a scanner to find out the location of the parasite,
647
00:36:01,460 --> 00:36:04,020
I need the proper tools to cut his skull open-
648
00:36:04,100 --> 00:36:05,680
all right.
649
00:36:06,810 --> 00:36:08,060
I've got A.Idea
650
00:36:08,060 --> 00:36:10,690
keep him as far away from this thg as he can stand.
651
00:36:10,770 --> 00:36:13,280
We'll be back in 20 minutes.
652
00:36:44,170 --> 00:36:46,290
You can't expect me to operate with those.
653
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,210
Well, I've seen surgical drills.
654
00:36:48,210 --> 00:36:50,040
They're not that much different.
655
00:36:50,450 --> 00:36:54,980
F-fine, assuming we can open him up, I still have no way of knowing where the parasite has contracted to.
656
00:37:00,770 --> 00:37:02,240
We can use this.
657
00:37:02,240 --> 00:37:03,520
A lifesigns detector?
658
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:04,490
Yeah. Why not?
659
00:37:04,670 --> 00:37:08,410
Well, it's just not designed to do what I need it to do on the correct scale.
660
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,340
Oh, we'll have jeannie modify it.
661
00:37:11,030 --> 00:37:13,150
No. You don't understand.
662
00:37:13,230 --> 00:37:16,190
The radiation is compromising his immune system as we speak,
663
00:37:16,210 --> 00:37:17,950
which means if I don't kill him,
664
00:37:17,950 --> 00:37:22,070
the infection he's bound to get by being operated on in a damp cave almost certainly will!
665
00:37:22,140 --> 00:37:24,360
Look, if we don't do something,
666
00:37:24,730 --> 00:37:26,040
he's dead.
667
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:27,490
You said it.
668
00:37:27,670 --> 00:37:28,970
Absolutely not!
669
00:37:28,970 --> 00:37:30,710
We're talking about saving your life.
670
00:37:30,900 --> 00:37:34,230
Look, my brain is not some new deck off the back of your house.
671
00:37:34,330 --> 00:37:36,150
I'm not the one doing the surgery.
672
00:37:36,300 --> 00:37:38,110
S,ye and as my parting advice,
673
00:37:38,110 --> 00:37:40,930
you need to stop letting these guys talk you into doing stupid things.
674
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,710
I can do it.
675
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:43,820
Really?
676
00:37:43,910 --> 00:37:46,260
And I'm fairly sure I can modify the lifesigns detector.
677
00:37:46,300 --> 00:37:47,620
Yeah, with my help...
678
00:37:47,720 --> 00:37:48,580
so help.
679
00:37:48,590 --> 00:37:52,960
This isn't one of those pbs brain surgeries where my skull is wide open, and we're having a conversation...
680
00:37:52,970 --> 00:37:55,520
I have enough anesthetic to put you out. You're not going to feel a thing.
681
00:37:55,570 --> 00:37:57,340
Yeah, it's probably a hammer.
682
00:37:58,130 --> 00:37:59,690
Time is of the essence, rodney.
683
00:37:59,750 --> 00:38:00,980
You need to make a decision.
684
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,860
Please, mere. Let us try.
685
00:38:03,030 --> 00:38:05,670
Look, obviously I'd get around to consenting. It's just-
686
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,590
you've thrown an awful lot at me all at once.
687
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,470
That's life.
688
00:38:10,110 --> 00:38:11,630
All right, well, let me have a little ham.
689
00:38:11,660 --> 00:38:12,620
No.
690
00:38:12,710 --> 00:38:14,860
No food before surgery.
691
00:38:18,630 --> 00:38:20,580
Bye, jeannie.
692
00:38:22,370 --> 00:38:24,530
Sorry I'm mean sometimes.
693
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,440
Bye, teyla.
694
00:38:30,490 --> 00:38:32,420
Bye, ronon dex.
695
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,650
Bye, john.
696
00:39:01,690 --> 00:39:04,950
I'm going to have to cut here...
697
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:06,980
here...
698
00:39:08,050 --> 00:39:09,610
and here,
699
00:39:09,950 --> 00:39:12,050
and drill those points to resect the area.
700
00:39:12,140 --> 00:39:13,350
Okay.
701
00:39:14,140 --> 00:39:18,780
I don't want to penetrate the dura layers until we get to that stage, so hold him as still as you can.
702
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,010
Go.
703
00:39:58,450 --> 00:40:01,450
I took too long reconfiguring the lifesigns detector.
704
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:05,580
I haven't given her enough time to perform the surgery before his immune system is compromised.
705
00:40:09,220 --> 00:40:10,990
Dammit, I went too far. Hold him steady.
706
00:40:11,010 --> 00:40:12,210
I'm trying.
707
00:40:15,870 --> 00:40:17,840
It's the parasite... it's moving.
708
00:40:18,150 --> 00:40:20,400
Well, maybe it knows we're going after it.
709
00:40:21,220 --> 00:40:22,200
I don't think so.
710
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:27,050
I think it instinctually wants to get away from the radiation source, and we've just shown it the way out.
711
00:40:35,180 --> 00:40:38,160
Ronon, we're going to need that gun of yours in about 10 seconds.
712
00:41:00,890 --> 00:41:02,850
You could have stepped on it.
713
00:41:03,050 --> 00:41:04,620
She told me to shoot it.
714
00:41:05,690 --> 00:41:07,140
It's clear.
715
00:41:09,820 --> 00:41:11,540
You did a good job.
716
00:41:12,090 --> 00:41:13,520
You too.
717
00:41:17,670 --> 00:41:19,760
Let's get him home.
718
00:41:33,530 --> 00:41:35,990
Why don't you go get some sleep? I'm going to be here all night.
719
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,600
It's okay. I'd like to be here when he wakes up.
720
00:41:38,930 --> 00:41:40,770
Well, it could be a while.
721
00:41:41,220 --> 00:41:43,660
He does love to sleep, our rodney.
722
00:41:43,830 --> 00:41:45,630
You should've seen him when he was a teenager.
723
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,020
Who can sleep with all the talking?
724
00:41:48,030 --> 00:41:49,520
Hi.
725
00:41:50,260 --> 00:41:51,670
Hi.
726
00:41:52,250 --> 00:41:55,510
You still, uh, all there?
727
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,330
Well, there was so much to spare.
728
00:42:04,970 --> 00:42:06,470
Thank you.
729
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:08,910
You're welcome.
730
00:42:09,300 --> 00:42:10,900
That was scary.
731
00:42:11,790 --> 00:42:13,110
For me too.
732
00:42:16,580 --> 00:42:18,210
Are you hungry?
733
00:42:19,980 --> 00:42:21,100
Peckish.
734
00:42:22,290 --> 00:42:24,640
I'll go order you something.
735
00:42:30,310 --> 00:42:31,520
Jennifer,
736
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:33,850
there's something I wanted to...
737
00:42:36,290 --> 00:42:37,180
while I remember,
738
00:42:37,190 --> 00:42:40,660
while I still can, there's something I wanted to say before, uh...
739
00:42:41,220 --> 00:42:42,510
go ahead.
740
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,080
I, uh...
741
00:42:47,070 --> 00:42:48,710
I love you.
742
00:42:50,510 --> 00:42:52,610
Loved you for some time now.
743
00:42:56,780 --> 00:42:58,470
Okay
744
00:42:59,170 --> 00:43:01,010
where was I...
