1
00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:12,013
I'm just saying, as a team
veteran to the new guy,

2
00:00:12,096 --> 00:00:14,724
heavy lunch before
mission departure, badidea.

3
00:00:14,807 --> 00:00:16,577
And even with the inertial
dampeners, this whole flying thing

4
00:00:16,601 --> 00:00:17,881
is best done
on an empty stomach.

5
00:00:17,935 --> 00:00:19,538
Yeah, well, I've got
a pretty strong stomach.

6
00:00:19,562 --> 00:00:21,206
Hey, I can eat frozen dinners
without thawing them.

7
00:00:21,230 --> 00:00:22,332
Sometimes it even affects me.

8
00:00:22,356 --> 00:00:25,318
McKay, are you reading anything?

9
00:00:27,945 --> 00:00:30,156
Nothing. Life signs
from the planet are negative.

10
00:00:30,239 --> 00:00:31,490
Then it is a shame.

11
00:00:31,574 --> 00:00:33,093
From what we read
in the Atlantis database

12
00:00:33,117 --> 00:00:35,369
the dorandans were
a wonderful race of people.

13
00:00:35,453 --> 00:00:37,705
Well, the database
is over 10,000 years old.

14
00:00:37,788 --> 00:00:39,508
You can bet things have
changed around here.

15
00:00:41,042 --> 00:00:42,501
Sheppard.

16
00:00:49,634 --> 00:00:51,135
Okay.

17
00:00:51,969 --> 00:00:53,971
That's not something
you see every day.

18
00:00:54,972 --> 00:00:57,016
There was a great battle here.

19
00:01:00,478 --> 00:01:02,480
Teyla: That is a hive ship.

20
00:01:04,148 --> 00:01:05,816
That was a hive ship.

21
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:08,694
Something put a lot of holes
in it, all right.

22
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:10,780
We should check it out.

23
00:01:10,863 --> 00:01:13,634
(Exclaiming) What if whatever
put holes in it wants to put holes in us?

24
00:01:13,658 --> 00:01:16,244
We”, like you said, a lot's
changed in 10,000 years.

25
00:01:32,635 --> 00:01:35,346
That would explain
the lack of life signs.

26
00:01:36,097 --> 00:01:38,849
This is what usually
happens when you fight back.

27
00:01:38,933 --> 00:01:41,227
These folks took out
a fleet of wraith ships.

28
00:01:41,310 --> 00:01:44,105
I'd say they did a pretty
good job fighting back.

29
00:01:44,188 --> 00:01:48,359
Hold on. I'm picking up faint
energy readings coming from

30
00:01:51,195 --> 00:01:52,530
there.

31
00:01:53,114 --> 00:01:54,782
(Thunder rumbling)

32
00:01:56,492 --> 00:01:59,704
Well, that would explain how they
were able to put up such a good fight.

33
00:01:59,787 --> 00:02:04,417
How? Because they were ancients.

34
00:03:17,615 --> 00:03:19,367
(Thunder rumbling)

35
00:03:29,377 --> 00:03:32,713
Definitely ancient design.
Their latest stuff, too.

36
00:03:33,464 --> 00:03:35,341
Their latest being
10,000 years old.

37
00:03:35,966 --> 00:03:38,511
Looks a lot like the labs
we found on Atlantis.

38
00:03:38,844 --> 00:03:40,679
So this was
one of their outposts?

39
00:03:40,763 --> 00:03:43,349
Yet the ancestors made no
mention of their presence here

40
00:03:43,432 --> 00:03:45,726
in the database. Why?

41
00:03:45,810 --> 00:03:48,145
Well, let's find out.
Can you power it up?

42
00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:49,563
Working on it.

43
00:04:08,833 --> 00:04:10,960
Sheppard: I got two bodies here.

44
00:04:15,339 --> 00:04:17,466
Ronon:
I got three more over here.

45
00:04:17,550 --> 00:04:18,843
Whatever happened here,

46
00:04:18,926 --> 00:04:21,011
no one came back
to claim the dead.

47
00:04:26,767 --> 00:04:28,936
Sheppard: Can't tell if
they were fed on by the wraith.

48
00:04:29,019 --> 00:04:30,604
Ronon: Yeah,
something killed them.

49
00:04:30,688 --> 00:04:33,065
Teyla: Something killed
everyone on this world.

50
00:04:33,149 --> 00:04:36,777
Now, why is this outpost, if
that's what it is, still intact?

51
00:04:36,861 --> 00:04:38,863
It doesn't make sense.
What do you think, Rodney?

52
00:04:41,031 --> 00:04:42,575
Sorry. I wasn't listening,

53
00:04:42,658 --> 00:04:45,995
but it just struck me that
this is an ancient outpost.

54
00:04:46,078 --> 00:04:47,913
Why would the wraith
leave it intact?

55
00:04:50,291 --> 00:04:51,917
That's a good question.

56
00:04:55,671 --> 00:04:58,048
All right. So...

57
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,555
Weir: So it's a military
research facility?

58
00:05:04,638 --> 00:05:06,533
From what we can tell,
it's a ground-based version

59
00:05:06,557 --> 00:05:08,702
of the satellite weapon we
used to destroy that hive ship.

60
00:05:08,726 --> 00:05:11,353
McKay: With one major
exception, firepower.

61
00:05:11,437 --> 00:05:14,833
I mean, if that single outpost is responsible
for destroying an entire wraith fleet...

62
00:05:14,857 --> 00:05:16,177
And you're sure
it was this weapon

63
00:05:16,233 --> 00:05:17,544
that destroyed
all those wraith ships?

64
00:05:17,568 --> 00:05:19,546
It had to be. There's nothing
on the planet that suggests

65
00:05:19,570 --> 00:05:21,822
the dorandans had anything
capable of inflicting

66
00:05:21,906 --> 00:05:23,091
anywhere near that much damage.

67
00:05:23,115 --> 00:05:24,555
If we could learn
of such technology,

68
00:05:24,617 --> 00:05:26,386
we could defend other
worlds from being culled.

69
00:05:26,410 --> 00:05:27,661
It didn't save the dorandans.

70
00:05:27,745 --> 00:05:28,985
Yeah, but at the end of the day

71
00:05:29,038 --> 00:05:30,724
the outpost was still
standing. And that means...

72
00:05:30,748 --> 00:05:31,892
Well, I'm not sure
what that means,

73
00:05:31,916 --> 00:05:33,935
but it means something
definitely worth finding out.

74
00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:35,794
Colonel? He's right.

75
00:05:35,878 --> 00:05:37,856
It's definitely worth sending
a research team back.

76
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,216
We”, give me optican,
Collins and Zelenka,

77
00:05:40,299 --> 00:05:41,509
if he's over the stomach qu.

78
00:05:41,592 --> 00:05:43,469
We'll try to access
the computer's logbooks.

79
00:05:43,594 --> 00:05:47,681
See if we can decipher them...
Okay, okay. Easy sell. Go.

80
00:05:47,765 --> 00:05:49,099
Oh, good.

81
00:05:54,104 --> 00:05:55,481
Teyla, um,

82
00:05:55,564 --> 00:05:58,108
I heard you were heading
offworld on a personal mission.

83
00:05:58,192 --> 00:06:00,694
To belkan, yes.
Sounds interesting.

84
00:06:03,239 --> 00:06:04,949
The belkans possess a particular

85
00:06:05,032 --> 00:06:07,159
disease-resistant
strain of flaxseed,

86
00:06:07,243 --> 00:06:09,954
which would double the yield
of our crops on the mainland.

87
00:06:10,037 --> 00:06:11,038
In exchange,

88
00:06:11,121 --> 00:06:14,959
I intend to offer athosian
manpower to aid in their harvest.

89
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:18,087
Still interested?

90
00:06:18,504 --> 00:06:20,881
Uh, this place has
everything I could want.

91
00:06:20,965 --> 00:06:22,299
Don't get me wrong, but...

92
00:06:22,383 --> 00:06:25,094
Sometimes you feel the need
to go somewhere else.

93
00:06:25,177 --> 00:06:27,972
Anywhere else.
I know the feeling.

94
00:06:30,099 --> 00:06:32,184
Bring only weapons
you can conceal.

95
00:06:33,894 --> 00:06:35,521
Illkeepit to a bare minimum.

96
00:06:36,939 --> 00:06:38,482
(Thunder rumbling)

97
00:06:42,278 --> 00:06:44,196
(People chattering)

98
00:06:52,162 --> 00:06:54,748
Zelenka: I'm telling you,
at least 0.09%.

99
00:06:54,832 --> 00:06:56,512
Oh, please, please.
Move the decimal place.

100
00:06:56,542 --> 00:06:58,622
(Stuttering) I mean, it's
impossible, for god's sake.

101
00:06:58,669 --> 00:07:00,129
Have we figured
out what this is? No.

102
00:07:00,170 --> 00:07:02,923
No, I wouldn't say no. No, we
have a theory. But we don't know yet.

103
00:07:03,007 --> 00:07:04,526
No, but based on the shielding
around the chamber,

104
00:07:04,550 --> 00:07:05,926
what else could it be?

105
00:07:06,010 --> 00:07:08,429
Have you tried turning it on?
That's what we're working on.

106
00:07:08,512 --> 00:07:10,532
The problem is that there's
no direct link between it

107
00:07:10,556 --> 00:07:13,058
and the main power control
systems, which among other things,

108
00:07:13,142 --> 00:07:16,604
led us to theorize that it's an ancillary
power supply for the weapons systems.

109
00:07:16,687 --> 00:07:18,522
Cool. See that? See?

110
00:07:18,606 --> 00:07:20,083
See the way he lights up
at the mention of that?

111
00:07:20,107 --> 00:07:22,568
It's like Dr. Vogel
at the mention of pastries.

112
00:07:22,651 --> 00:07:24,571
They found out a way
to soup up their space guns?

113
00:07:24,612 --> 00:07:26,614
Yes, but it's... it's
much more than that.

114
00:07:26,697 --> 00:07:29,283
Well, the sticking point
is that there's no tie

115
00:07:29,366 --> 00:07:31,744
between the power generator
and the primary capacitor.

116
00:07:31,827 --> 00:07:35,039
Yeah, meaning they would have to
channel the power directly into the weapon.

117
00:07:35,122 --> 00:07:37,291
Which, I'm sure,
means nothing to you.

118
00:07:37,374 --> 00:07:39,728
Means they could fire multiple
bursts without having to store up

119
00:07:39,752 --> 00:07:42,338
more power
for the next firing sequence.

120
00:07:44,548 --> 00:07:46,258
Yes. Very good.

121
00:07:46,342 --> 00:07:48,719
Which leads me back to "cool."

122
00:07:49,219 --> 00:07:51,263
Yes, but it only makes sense
if we're right.

123
00:07:51,347 --> 00:07:52,765
About what?

124
00:07:54,016 --> 00:07:55,851
Tell him. Not yet.

125
00:07:56,268 --> 00:07:57,787
Come on, McKay,
you read the equations.

126
00:07:57,811 --> 00:07:59,647
What else could it be?
An ancient typo?

127
00:07:59,730 --> 00:08:02,816
Well, we know they're not
perfect, because they're all dead.

128
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:05,712
Look, I just... I just... I don't want
you to get all excited over nothing.

129
00:08:05,736 --> 00:08:07,946
Well, maybe you're right.
I'll give you a hint.

130
00:08:08,030 --> 00:08:09,549
It seems that the ancients
were experimenting

131
00:08:09,573 --> 00:08:12,743
with high-energy physics on a
level that we've never seen before.

132
00:08:16,413 --> 00:08:17,581
Wow. Yes, wow.

133
00:08:17,665 --> 00:08:20,167
I just... I wanna be sure. So...

134
00:08:23,504 --> 00:08:25,547
I'll do my best to wait.

135
00:08:30,094 --> 00:08:33,472
Teyla: The manpower that
you are demanding is outrageous.

136
00:08:33,806 --> 00:08:37,059
You would turn my people into
nothing more than indentured slaves

137
00:08:37,142 --> 00:08:38,977
to serve your farms.

138
00:08:40,229 --> 00:08:44,274
It would seem that you have nothing
else of value to trade but your people.

139
00:08:47,277 --> 00:08:51,865
Mattas, you know full well
my offer is fair.

140
00:08:52,741 --> 00:08:54,034
I'm sorry, Teyla.

141
00:08:54,118 --> 00:08:58,163
If you had something of more
value to offer, technology, weapons.

142
00:08:58,372 --> 00:09:00,165
You've heard my terms.

143
00:09:02,793 --> 00:09:04,962
Then our business is done here.

144
00:09:07,506 --> 00:09:09,466
She said her offer is fair.

145
00:09:13,470 --> 00:09:14,847
I say it isn't.

146
00:09:17,391 --> 00:09:19,810
Well, I say it is.

147
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,987
(People chattering)

148
00:09:36,577 --> 00:09:37,786
What?

149
00:09:39,997 --> 00:09:41,999
I had the situation
under control.

150
00:09:42,332 --> 00:09:43,751
It didn't look like it.

151
00:09:43,834 --> 00:09:45,544
So you came to my rescue?

152
00:09:46,670 --> 00:09:49,631
You have no idea what is at
stake during these negotiations.

153
00:09:49,715 --> 00:09:51,091
My people depend on me.

154
00:09:51,175 --> 00:09:52,801
They were taking
advantage of you.

155
00:09:52,885 --> 00:09:54,219
No, they were not.

156
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,263
That is what I wanted them
to think.

157
00:09:56,346 --> 00:09:58,474
A negotiation
is a delicate process.

158
00:09:58,557 --> 00:10:00,893
The words spoken
are often meaningless.

159
00:10:02,770 --> 00:10:03,937
Teyla.

160
00:10:07,608 --> 00:10:09,610
Do you want me to...

161
00:10:09,735 --> 00:10:12,196
Go. Gather our things.
I will meet you at the gate.

162
00:10:17,951 --> 00:10:19,787
It was a mistake
to force hendon's hand.

163
00:10:19,870 --> 00:10:21,455
You'll only pay for it
next time.

164
00:10:21,538 --> 00:10:22,873
I know.

165
00:10:23,707 --> 00:10:26,335
Your friend is not athosian? No.

166
00:10:26,502 --> 00:10:29,838
Ronon is the only survivor
of a world known as sateda.

167
00:10:29,922 --> 00:10:31,465
He saved the life
of a friend of mine.

168
00:10:31,548 --> 00:10:33,717
In return,
we offered him sanctuary.

169
00:10:33,801 --> 00:10:34,968
If sateda is his homeworld,

170
00:10:35,052 --> 00:10:36,804
then he is not
the only survivor.

171
00:10:38,222 --> 00:10:39,473
There is a man in this village

172
00:10:39,556 --> 00:10:41,475
who also claims
to be from there.

173
00:10:48,982 --> 00:10:50,484
What have we got, sergeant?

174
00:10:50,567 --> 00:10:52,611
It's colonel Sheppard, ma'am.

175
00:10:52,694 --> 00:10:54,404
This is Weir. Go ahead, colonel.

176
00:10:55,781 --> 00:10:58,242
Sheppard: We're on our way
back. Rodney wants to fill you in.

177
00:10:59,284 --> 00:11:01,411
I take it you found
something interesting.

178
00:11:01,495 --> 00:11:04,832
Interesting? How about the
greatest discovery of all time?

179
00:11:04,915 --> 00:11:06,500
He's pretty excited.

180
00:11:07,376 --> 00:11:10,128
So I hear. He couldn't
even wait till you got back.

181
00:11:10,212 --> 00:11:12,649
I wanted to send an encoded
data burst directly from the outpost

182
00:11:12,673 --> 00:11:15,425
to the secure network in my
lab while the gate was active.

183
00:11:17,219 --> 00:11:18,303
Now.

184
00:11:19,263 --> 00:11:22,933
Receiving transmission.
Transferring data.

185
00:11:28,021 --> 00:11:30,607
Care to fill me in,
so I can be excited, too?

186
00:11:31,233 --> 00:11:33,861
It's a weapon... it is much,
much more than a weapon.

187
00:11:33,944 --> 00:11:35,237
We think we've stumbled across

188
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,239
the ancients'
last great discovery.

189
00:11:37,322 --> 00:11:38,508
It was too late
to win the war for them,

190
00:11:38,532 --> 00:11:41,252
but I think if I can finish the work
they started then... what is it?

191
00:11:41,368 --> 00:11:43,829
It is the ultimate power source.

192
00:11:43,912 --> 00:11:45,431
Something that would
make zero point modules

193
00:11:45,455 --> 00:11:48,417
seem like alkaline batteries
in comparison.

194
00:11:58,302 --> 00:12:00,721
It was called project arcturus.
And from what we can tell,

195
00:12:00,804 --> 00:12:04,683
its ultimate goal
was to render zpms obsolete.

196
00:12:05,058 --> 00:12:06,184
How?

197
00:12:08,145 --> 00:12:11,398
A zero point module is an
artificially-created region of subspace-time.

198
00:12:11,481 --> 00:12:14,234
It's kind of like a miniature
universe in a bottle.

199
00:12:14,318 --> 00:12:17,571
It... it extracts vacuum energy from
this artificial region of subspace-time

200
00:12:17,654 --> 00:12:19,239
until it reaches
maximum entropy.

201
00:12:19,323 --> 00:12:20,949
So what's different
about this thing?

202
00:12:21,033 --> 00:12:23,911
Project arcturus was attempting
to extract vacuum energy

203
00:12:23,994 --> 00:12:25,746
from our own space-time,

204
00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:29,750
making it potentially as powerful
as the scope of the universe itself.

205
00:12:29,833 --> 00:12:33,503
It strikes me as something the ancients
would've tried first, even before zpms.

206
00:12:33,587 --> 00:12:35,672
And they may have. But
extracting zero-point energy

207
00:12:35,756 --> 00:12:38,800
from our own universe is...
Well, it's definitely trickier.

208
00:12:39,343 --> 00:12:40,344
Explain "trickier."

209
00:12:40,427 --> 00:12:42,930
Vveh, because we actually
have to live in our own universe,

210
00:12:43,013 --> 00:12:45,098
it presents
a whole range of problems.

211
00:12:45,182 --> 00:12:46,600
Well,
obviously it's not that easy

212
00:12:46,683 --> 00:12:48,936
or Atlantis wouldn't
still rely on zpms.

213
00:12:49,019 --> 00:12:50,270
Well, you're right.

214
00:12:50,354 --> 00:12:52,105
The ancients couldn't
make it work.

215
00:12:52,189 --> 00:12:53,625
I said I wanted to
do all the talking.

216
00:12:53,649 --> 00:12:55,525
Come on, Rodney,
arcturus was a total failure.

217
00:12:55,609 --> 00:12:57,819
Failure, yes. Total, no.

218
00:12:57,903 --> 00:13:00,143
Look, the ancients were
losing the war against the wraith

219
00:13:00,197 --> 00:13:01,323
when work on arcturus began.

220
00:13:01,406 --> 00:13:02,606
If they could've made it work,

221
00:13:02,658 --> 00:13:03,968
it could have
turned the tide of war.

222
00:13:03,992 --> 00:13:06,328
I mean, we're talking about
their own Manhattan project.

223
00:13:06,411 --> 00:13:08,389
Sheppard: The outpost was
ordered by the ancients in Atlantis

224
00:13:08,413 --> 00:13:10,582
to defend the dorandan people
using their weapons

225
00:13:10,666 --> 00:13:12,292
powered by
this new power source.

226
00:13:12,376 --> 00:13:14,461
Yes, but despite
their strong reservations

227
00:13:14,544 --> 00:13:17,673
that it was not ready to be
tested under battle conditions.

228
00:13:17,756 --> 00:13:19,174
The point is, the wraith won.

229
00:13:19,257 --> 00:13:21,635
Yeah, but the dorandans
still inflicted massive damage

230
00:13:21,718 --> 00:13:22,928
on the attacking wraith eret.

231
00:13:23,011 --> 00:13:24,697
I'm not saying they didn't
put up a hell of a fight.

232
00:13:24,721 --> 00:13:27,641
The logs indicate
there was a major malfunction.

233
00:13:27,724 --> 00:13:30,620
Well, yes, the ancients in the bunker
were forced to shut everything down,

234
00:13:30,644 --> 00:13:32,288
including the weapon.
The wraith sent more ships.

235
00:13:32,312 --> 00:13:34,022
The dorandans got wiped out.

236
00:13:34,106 --> 00:13:36,066
So if the malfunction
hadn't occurred,

237
00:13:36,149 --> 00:13:37,985
the ancients
would've saved the planet?

238
00:13:38,068 --> 00:13:39,361
Definitely. Possibly.

239
00:13:39,444 --> 00:13:41,488
Don't sugarcoat this, Rodney.

240
00:13:41,571 --> 00:13:44,616
The ancient scientists running
arcturus were rushed into testing

241
00:13:44,700 --> 00:13:47,995
before they had perfected a means of
effectively controlling the power output.

242
00:13:48,078 --> 00:13:49,371
Ibeheve if they'd had more time,

243
00:13:49,454 --> 00:13:51,614
history would've played out
differently on that planet.

244
00:13:51,665 --> 00:13:53,917
Possibly in this galaxy.

245
00:13:54,001 --> 00:13:55,585
I won't deny
that this is something

246
00:13:55,669 --> 00:13:57,337
that we'd dearly
love to get our hands on,

247
00:13:57,421 --> 00:13:59,631
but the ancients
were a pretty bright bunch.

248
00:13:59,756 --> 00:14:03,135
And desperate. And losing a war
they'd already been fighting for 100 years.

249
00:14:03,218 --> 00:14:06,096
More importantly, they were...
They were like this close.

250
00:14:08,765 --> 00:14:10,517
And you believe
you can finish their work?

251
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:11,601
I do.

252
00:14:12,769 --> 00:14:13,937
We do.

253
00:14:14,855 --> 00:14:16,231
They do.

254
00:14:22,946 --> 00:14:25,323
All right, I need
everyone's attention, please.

255
00:14:25,407 --> 00:14:27,034
What we've got here
is a transmitter...

256
00:14:27,117 --> 00:14:30,787
I need this code divided up into
sections and each one double-checked.

257
00:14:30,871 --> 00:14:32,622
No, you're not listening to me!

258
00:14:32,706 --> 00:14:34,583
I'm telling you
this one right here is wrong!

259
00:14:34,666 --> 00:14:35,709
It's not going to...

260
00:14:35,792 --> 00:14:38,730
Look, the whole point here is that
these numbers here need to be corrected.

261
00:14:38,754 --> 00:14:41,194
Unless they're corrected...
There you go. "Simulation failed."

262
00:14:52,309 --> 00:14:53,852
That's heavy.

263
00:14:54,186 --> 00:14:56,688
So, I'm gonna need that
over there. Thank you.

264
00:15:00,192 --> 00:15:01,919
Mcka y: What I want you do
is to pull the crystals.

265
00:15:01,943 --> 00:15:04,196
Pull them when I say "go,"
all right?

266
00:15:17,167 --> 00:15:18,919
I think we have it.

267
00:15:27,010 --> 00:15:28,386
That's it.

268
00:15:30,806 --> 00:15:33,141
(People chattering)

269
00:15:40,524 --> 00:15:42,359
We are looking for
a man named solen.

270
00:15:42,442 --> 00:15:43,735
Do you know him?

271
00:15:44,152 --> 00:15:45,320
Upstairs.

272
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,490
Thank you.

273
00:15:51,952 --> 00:15:53,161
Solen: Was I afraid?

274
00:15:53,245 --> 00:15:54,704
Of course I was,

275
00:15:54,996 --> 00:15:56,915
but my people
were counting on me.

276
00:15:57,874 --> 00:16:01,962
Now, I was alone, and I was low
on ammo, but I managed to take out

277
00:16:02,045 --> 00:16:04,506
the three wraith guards
and gain access to that ship.

278
00:16:04,589 --> 00:16:05,882
Ronon: Liar.

279
00:16:07,801 --> 00:16:09,553
What did you say?

280
00:16:14,224 --> 00:16:15,392
Ronon?

281
00:16:15,475 --> 00:16:19,104
There were two wraith guarding
that cruiser, and he wasn't alone.

282
00:16:24,151 --> 00:16:26,153
Teyla emmagan, solen sincha.

283
00:16:26,236 --> 00:16:28,572
We served in the same regiment
on sateda.

284
00:16:28,655 --> 00:16:31,575
I'm honored.
You two make a nice match.

285
00:16:32,242 --> 00:16:33,743
Congratulations.

286
00:16:34,077 --> 00:16:36,204
We are friends, nothing more.

287
00:16:37,205 --> 00:16:39,249
For years I believed
I was the only survivor.

288
00:16:40,584 --> 00:16:42,294
So you don't know
about the others?

289
00:16:42,502 --> 00:16:43,587
What others?

290
00:16:44,504 --> 00:16:45,964
Before the city fell,

291
00:16:46,047 --> 00:16:48,049
a few of us managed
to make it to the shelters

292
00:16:48,133 --> 00:16:49,509
west of the capital.

293
00:16:49,593 --> 00:16:53,513
Over 300 civilians
found their way there, too.

294
00:16:54,139 --> 00:16:57,350
When we emerged, we realized
there was nothing to salvage,

295
00:16:57,767 --> 00:16:59,895
so we left. All of us.

296
00:17:01,646 --> 00:17:02,814
To where?

297
00:17:02,898 --> 00:17:05,108
Some came here,
some went to manaria.

298
00:17:07,152 --> 00:17:08,653
300?

299
00:17:09,821 --> 00:17:12,866
Drink, ronon, and rejoice.
You're not alone!

300
00:17:14,117 --> 00:17:15,452
Yeah!

301
00:17:19,581 --> 00:17:21,458
Everything's been
triple-checked.

302
00:17:21,541 --> 00:17:24,628
Power levels are holding
steady in all computer simulations.

303
00:17:24,711 --> 00:17:26,880
Fire it up. All right.

304
00:17:26,963 --> 00:17:28,715
Attention, all personnel.

305
00:17:28,798 --> 00:17:32,177
Stand by for power-up
on my Mark.

306
00:17:32,260 --> 00:17:35,639
Three, two, one.

307
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,099
Mark.

308
00:17:43,230 --> 00:17:45,357
(Ronon and solen laughing)

309
00:17:55,825 --> 00:17:59,329
Oh, man. To see kell's
face when he sees you.

310
00:18:01,039 --> 00:18:02,832
Yeah, it's true.

311
00:18:04,084 --> 00:18:05,335
Kell's alive?

312
00:18:05,585 --> 00:18:07,003
And his family.

313
00:18:07,504 --> 00:18:09,130
They're settled on belsa.

314
00:18:09,839 --> 00:18:12,342
Run this big trading
operation over there.

315
00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:15,345
When were you
gonna tell me this?

316
00:18:15,428 --> 00:18:18,556
Honestly? I was gonna wait
till you drank a little more.

317
00:18:20,392 --> 00:18:21,726
Then you've seen him?

318
00:18:22,185 --> 00:18:24,020
Yeah, he comes around
now and then

319
00:18:24,104 --> 00:18:26,481
to trade weapons
with the belkans.

320
00:18:26,564 --> 00:18:29,192
He's got his own
private army now.

321
00:18:30,568 --> 00:18:32,445
Is this kell a friend?

322
00:18:33,989 --> 00:18:36,283
Oh, he's more like kin.

323
00:18:36,449 --> 00:18:40,620
He was ronon's taskmaster
during his military training.

324
00:18:41,413 --> 00:18:43,540
There is no closer bond.

325
00:18:45,709 --> 00:18:47,127
None.

326
00:18:48,211 --> 00:18:49,754
To reunions.

327
00:18:50,964 --> 00:18:52,132
(Solen laughing)

328
00:18:52,215 --> 00:18:53,675
To reunions.

329
00:19:00,348 --> 00:19:02,267
Radek, talk to me.

330
00:19:02,350 --> 00:19:05,312
I'm picking up some
minor power fluctuations.

331
00:19:05,395 --> 00:19:07,939
Chamber temperature
is holding steady.

332
00:19:09,607 --> 00:19:11,568
There it goes again.

333
00:19:11,735 --> 00:19:13,945
Is everything okay?
McKay: Everything's fine.

334
00:19:14,029 --> 00:19:16,656
The containment bottle was
designed to automatically compensate

335
00:19:16,740 --> 00:19:18,783
for any sudden changes
in energy output.

336
00:19:18,867 --> 00:19:21,328
This never happened
in the simulations.

337
00:19:21,411 --> 00:19:23,621
Maybe we should abort.
I said it's fine.

338
00:19:23,705 --> 00:19:27,334
Collins, see if you can boost
more power to the field manually.

339
00:19:27,417 --> 00:19:28,877
You got it.

340
00:19:31,755 --> 00:19:32,881
Okay.

341
00:19:47,020 --> 00:19:49,939
Prepare for test firing.
On my Mark.

342
00:19:51,900 --> 00:19:53,568
(Screams)

343
00:19:55,362 --> 00:19:56,404
(Beeping)

344
00:19:56,488 --> 00:19:58,323
Levels just spiked into the red.

345
00:20:00,158 --> 00:20:02,410
What? Shut it down.
Shut it all down!

346
00:20:02,494 --> 00:20:05,080
I'm trying. The interface
is not responding.

347
00:20:06,956 --> 00:20:09,250
All right, I'm gonna
switch to backups.

348
00:20:10,627 --> 00:20:12,629
Levels are going
off the scale! McKay?

349
00:20:12,712 --> 00:20:14,214
I have given
the command to shut down!

350
00:20:14,297 --> 00:20:15,577
Something's
creating an overload.

351
00:20:15,632 --> 00:20:17,472
We should evacuate.
Just give me a few seconds.

352
00:20:17,509 --> 00:20:19,260
We may not have that time.

353
00:20:20,261 --> 00:20:23,264
Wait, wait, wait.
It's stabilizing.

354
00:20:27,644 --> 00:20:29,229
The generator is offline.

355
00:20:33,149 --> 00:20:34,442
What the he” just happened?

356
00:20:34,526 --> 00:20:36,236
Obviously, there was
a surge of some kind.

357
00:20:36,319 --> 00:20:37,445
Look, Collin...

358
00:20:38,363 --> 00:20:39,989
Collins.

359
00:20:42,951 --> 00:20:44,285
Collins!

360
00:20:48,706 --> 00:20:50,458
(Sizzling)

361
00:21:00,844 --> 00:21:04,848
Officially my report will indicate
Dr. Collins died due to radiation exposure

362
00:21:04,931 --> 00:21:08,184
causing severe burns
to well over 90% of his body.

363
00:21:08,726 --> 00:21:09,894
But it was more than that?

364
00:21:09,978 --> 00:21:11,563
Beckett: Aye, much more.

365
00:21:11,646 --> 00:21:14,774
To be honest, I have no idea
what sort of radiation it was.

366
00:21:14,858 --> 00:21:17,610
I've never seen or heard of
cellular decay this massive,

367
00:21:17,694 --> 00:21:20,196
not when exposure only
lasted mere seconds.

368
00:21:20,947 --> 00:21:23,366
Collins' next of kin
have been notified.

369
00:21:24,367 --> 00:21:25,702
Good.

370
00:21:27,704 --> 00:21:29,164
What went wrong?

371
00:21:30,206 --> 00:21:32,792
We're still analyzing data
from the test.

372
00:21:32,876 --> 00:21:35,628
All we know for certain was
there was a massive power surge

373
00:21:35,712 --> 00:21:39,841
which in turn caused the containment
field to expand asymmetrically

374
00:21:40,175 --> 00:21:42,302
in the direction
of the command access tube.

375
00:21:43,052 --> 00:21:45,555
As to why...
How about human error?

376
00:21:46,973 --> 00:21:48,099
Excuse me?

377
00:21:48,183 --> 00:21:49,452
Caldwell:
According to your reports

378
00:21:49,476 --> 00:21:51,352
during the tests Dr. Collins
made an adjustment

379
00:21:51,436 --> 00:21:52,604
to the containment field.

380
00:21:52,687 --> 00:21:56,107
Isn't it possible that he
triggered the surge himself?

381
00:21:57,942 --> 00:21:59,819
Are you looking for
a scapegoat, colonel?

382
00:21:59,903 --> 00:22:01,005
Caldwell: Not at all, doctor.

383
00:22:01,029 --> 00:22:04,324
I'm admittedly looking for a
rationale that would allow Dr. McKay

384
00:22:04,407 --> 00:22:05,825
to continue
his very important work.

385
00:22:05,909 --> 00:22:07,785
Is there something wrong
with that?

386
00:22:08,244 --> 00:22:09,329
McKay: No.

387
00:22:09,746 --> 00:22:11,831
Collins knew the system
just as well as any of us.

388
00:22:11,915 --> 00:22:13,833
He wouldn't have made
that kind of mistake.

389
00:22:13,917 --> 00:22:16,461
Everything was going well.
Everyone did their job.

390
00:22:17,837 --> 00:22:20,256
Then what? I don't know.

391
00:22:21,174 --> 00:22:23,343
In terms of physics,
it shouldn't have happened.

392
00:22:23,426 --> 00:22:25,237
We're still analyzing
the data from the accident.

393
00:22:25,261 --> 00:22:26,513
It's going to take time.

394
00:22:26,596 --> 00:22:30,225
What I do know is the device
did what it was supposed to do.

395
00:22:30,850 --> 00:22:32,352
No, Rodney, it didn't.

396
00:22:32,435 --> 00:22:34,938
Well, apart from the obvious
containment issues.

397
00:22:35,021 --> 00:22:37,482
Itovedoaded
and you couldn't stop it.

398
00:22:37,565 --> 00:22:41,444
But we won't know for sure until
we go back down there and try again.

399
00:22:41,528 --> 00:22:43,279
Try again? Are you serious?

400
00:22:43,363 --> 00:22:44,364
Yes.

401
00:22:49,577 --> 00:22:51,538
A member of your team
is in the morgue.

402
00:22:51,621 --> 00:22:53,081
And I am responsible
for his death.

403
00:22:53,164 --> 00:22:56,000
Yes, I am painfully aware
of that.

404
00:22:56,084 --> 00:22:57,603
I sent him in there and I
will have to live with that

405
00:22:57,627 --> 00:22:59,170
for the rest of my life.

406
00:22:59,254 --> 00:23:03,132
But we have a responsibility to
understand what happened and learn from it.

407
00:23:04,467 --> 00:23:06,219
Rodney, we don't even know
what went wrong.

408
00:23:06,302 --> 00:23:08,429
Which is why
we have to go back there!

409
00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:15,687
I know how important
this is to you, Rodney,

410
00:23:15,770 --> 00:23:18,731
but we knew when we came to
Atlantis that we might encounter

411
00:23:18,815 --> 00:23:21,234
certain technologies which,
for the moment,

412
00:23:21,317 --> 00:23:22,777
are out of our reach.

413
00:23:22,860 --> 00:23:24,070
That's not in this case.

414
00:23:24,153 --> 00:23:26,322
You have the data
from your first attempt.

415
00:23:26,406 --> 00:23:29,284
You can run
all the simulations you want.

416
00:23:29,367 --> 00:23:30,469
Come on, Elizabeth,
you really think

417
00:23:30,493 --> 00:23:31,995
the military's gonna
let this go, huh?

418
00:23:32,078 --> 00:23:33,121
I mean, at the very least

419
00:23:33,204 --> 00:23:35,099
we should be the first ones in
there to spearhead the research.

420
00:23:35,123 --> 00:23:37,917
That's what this is about?
You wanna beat them to it?

421
00:23:38,710 --> 00:23:40,795
I'm sorry. The answer's no.

422
00:24:03,151 --> 00:24:04,193
I'm not tired.

423
00:24:05,194 --> 00:24:06,362
Why did we leave?

424
00:24:15,121 --> 00:24:16,706
I believe you've had enough.

425
00:24:18,041 --> 00:24:19,459
I believe I have.

426
00:24:20,710 --> 00:24:21,836
Good night.

427
00:24:23,838 --> 00:24:25,006
Teyla.

428
00:24:28,885 --> 00:24:30,428
There are 300 of my people.

429
00:24:56,287 --> 00:24:58,247
Harry k. Daghlian.

430
00:24:58,581 --> 00:24:59,791
Who?

431
00:24:59,874 --> 00:25:02,669
He was a scientist, worked on the
Manhattan project at los Alamos.

432
00:25:02,752 --> 00:25:05,505
He was only 26 years old.
Accidentally irradiated himself

433
00:25:05,588 --> 00:25:07,340
while performing
a critical mass experiment

434
00:25:07,423 --> 00:25:09,717
on two half-spheres
of plutonium.

435
00:25:10,718 --> 00:25:12,178
It took him a month to die.

436
00:25:13,137 --> 00:25:15,532
While his body was slowly shutting
down from radiation poisoning,

437
00:25:15,556 --> 00:25:18,142
you know what he did
with his last 30 days, hmm?

438
00:25:18,935 --> 00:25:19,977
He worked.

439
00:25:20,353 --> 00:25:21,854
He tried until his last breath

440
00:25:21,938 --> 00:25:23,082
to understand
what had happened to him

441
00:25:23,106 --> 00:25:25,566
so that others could learn
from the tragedy.

442
00:25:26,776 --> 00:25:28,111
So that his work,

443
00:25:28,695 --> 00:25:31,072
his death wouldn't be
rendered meaningless.

444
00:25:33,616 --> 00:25:36,452
Now, have you considered
what would've happened

445
00:25:36,536 --> 00:25:38,097
if they shut the project down
after that?

446
00:25:38,121 --> 00:25:40,123
This is different. Is it?

447
00:25:40,790 --> 00:25:42,792
Collins' death
is a pointless waste of life

448
00:25:42,875 --> 00:25:43,936
unless something comes of this.

449
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,628
And I am not sure that I can...

450
00:25:49,298 --> 00:25:50,925
I think I know what happened.

451
00:25:52,719 --> 00:25:54,721
Let's hear it. Can I come in?

452
00:25:57,807 --> 00:25:59,475
The ancients had it wrong.

453
00:25:59,809 --> 00:26:01,728
Our mistake was
using their equations.

454
00:26:01,811 --> 00:26:03,372
Look, I just did
the calculations again myself.

455
00:26:03,396 --> 00:26:05,958
I did them three times just to be
sure, and I am positive the problem

456
00:26:05,982 --> 00:26:08,609
is in the automatic
containment protocols.

457
00:26:08,693 --> 00:26:10,319
Okay, what's your fix?

458
00:26:10,403 --> 00:26:13,990
I'm proposing that we adjust
the field strength manually.

459
00:26:14,073 --> 00:26:15,867
You saw how fast
it spiked on you.

460
00:26:15,950 --> 00:26:18,578
So we don't operate the generator
at anywhere near its potential.

461
00:26:18,661 --> 00:26:20,764
Look, there's no need to be
greedy. Even operating at 50%,

462
00:26:20,788 --> 00:26:23,082
it'll still generate
the power of a dozen zpms.

463
00:26:23,166 --> 00:26:25,585
How come the ancients
didn't figure this out?

464
00:26:25,668 --> 00:26:27,479
Maybe they were caught up
in the heat of battle.

465
00:26:27,503 --> 00:26:29,982
Maybe they... they thought they
needed as much power as they could get.

466
00:26:30,006 --> 00:26:31,924
Maybe they weren't smart enough.

467
00:26:32,008 --> 00:26:33,426
And you are?

468
00:26:33,509 --> 00:26:37,180
No, I didn't say that, but I have
the benefit of hindsight. They didn't.

469
00:26:37,263 --> 00:26:38,765
Look, this is big.

470
00:26:38,848 --> 00:26:41,934
This is the wheel,
the light bulb,

471
00:26:42,018 --> 00:26:43,811
the hot dog big.

472
00:26:45,688 --> 00:26:46,981
Best-case scenario?

473
00:26:47,231 --> 00:26:48,566
I win a nobel prize.

474
00:26:49,734 --> 00:26:50,985
Worst-case scenario?

475
00:26:51,068 --> 00:26:52,755
We tear a hole
in the fabric of the universe.

476
00:26:52,779 --> 00:26:54,715
Which is much less likely to
happen than the nobel prize.

477
00:26:54,739 --> 00:26:59,327
I mean, look, the risks are nothing
compared to the potential benefits.

478
00:26:59,410 --> 00:27:00,995
Elizabeth will listen to you.

479
00:27:01,829 --> 00:27:05,583
I've never asked this of you
before, but I think I've earned it.

480
00:27:06,459 --> 00:27:08,002
Trust me.

481
00:27:09,212 --> 00:27:11,297
I've already made
this decision, John.

482
00:27:11,380 --> 00:27:13,020
If Dr. McKay says
he's solved the problem,

483
00:27:13,049 --> 00:27:15,176
I don't see why we don't
give him another shot.

484
00:27:15,259 --> 00:27:18,221
Isn't the daedalus about ready
to head back to earth?

485
00:27:18,304 --> 00:27:19,764
Yes, we are.

486
00:27:19,847 --> 00:27:21,742
But I think you should know
the Pentagon has taken

487
00:27:21,766 --> 00:27:24,811
a very keen interest
in this vacuum energy.

488
00:27:24,894 --> 00:27:27,814
I'm sure they have, but the Pentagon
doesn't make the decisions here.

489
00:27:27,897 --> 00:27:30,316
Yeah, I may not have the power
to overrule you on this,

490
00:27:30,399 --> 00:27:33,128
but when I get back to earth, I'm
going to be making the recommendation

491
00:27:33,152 --> 00:27:36,697
that Dr. McKay be allowed to continue
his work to the highest authorities.

492
00:27:37,532 --> 00:27:41,452
Ultimately, Dr. Weir,
this won't be up to you.

493
00:27:45,832 --> 00:27:48,668
Can Rodney guarantee that
the same thing won't happen?

494
00:27:48,751 --> 00:27:50,419
Nobody can do that.

495
00:27:50,670 --> 00:27:51,838
Then what's changed?

496
00:27:51,921 --> 00:27:54,257
According to him it's
the ancients' calculations

497
00:27:54,340 --> 00:27:55,550
that were wrong, not his.

498
00:27:55,633 --> 00:27:57,718
If McKay is that confident,
I don't see why...

499
00:27:57,802 --> 00:28:00,930
Confidence is not something
Dr. McKay is in any short supply of.

500
00:28:01,013 --> 00:28:03,266
With good reason.
If anyone can do this...

501
00:28:03,349 --> 00:28:06,018
The ancients could not do this.

502
00:28:06,602 --> 00:28:08,646
That's what it keeps
coming back to for me.

503
00:28:08,729 --> 00:28:12,859
Isn't it possible that you have placed
the ancients on such a high pedestal,

504
00:28:12,942 --> 00:28:16,153
that you can't even consider the
possibility that they may be wrong?

505
00:28:16,237 --> 00:28:18,739
Why are we mincing words,
colonel?

506
00:28:19,615 --> 00:28:21,284
You want the weapon.

507
00:28:21,784 --> 00:28:23,870
Yes, I do.

508
00:28:24,412 --> 00:28:26,247
A weapon that could
effectively eliminate

509
00:28:26,330 --> 00:28:28,082
the wraith threat
is very attractive to me.

510
00:28:28,165 --> 00:28:29,434
And to the people
that I work for.

511
00:28:29,458 --> 00:28:30,960
I'm not hiding that fact.

512
00:28:31,794 --> 00:28:34,255
But there's more to it,
isn't there?

513
00:28:34,338 --> 00:28:38,551
No more hunting for zpms,
the shield at full strength.

514
00:28:38,634 --> 00:28:40,970
Faster, more powerful ships.

515
00:28:41,053 --> 00:28:42,096
How about a power source

516
00:28:42,179 --> 00:28:43,459
that can provide
the energy needs

517
00:28:43,514 --> 00:28:46,309
for an entire planet?
No more fossil fuels.

518
00:28:46,392 --> 00:28:47,602
I get it.

519
00:28:47,685 --> 00:28:51,272
And if it worked as advertised
it would be wonderful.

520
00:28:52,982 --> 00:28:55,276
I'm trying to tell you,
I know Rodney McKay.

521
00:28:55,359 --> 00:28:56,777
And there are times

522
00:28:56,861 --> 00:28:59,405
when I have to protect him
from himself.

523
00:29:00,615 --> 00:29:02,033
I can do that.

524
00:29:04,076 --> 00:29:06,412
Let me go back with him.
Just him and me.

525
00:29:06,495 --> 00:29:08,098
You can activate the Stargate
any time you want

526
00:29:08,122 --> 00:29:09,749
to contact us by radio.

527
00:29:12,501 --> 00:29:14,003
He really sold you.

528
00:29:18,507 --> 00:29:20,343
He asked me to trust him.

529
00:29:30,269 --> 00:29:33,356
I appreciate your support,
colonel, but don't worry.

530
00:29:33,439 --> 00:29:34,482
I try and make it a habit

531
00:29:34,565 --> 00:29:35,983
not to make
the same mistake twice.

532
00:29:37,818 --> 00:29:39,070
That was a joke, right?

533
00:29:40,196 --> 00:29:42,257
I offer you my personal
assurance that a surge like the one

534
00:29:42,281 --> 00:29:44,867
that happened before
is inconceivable.

535
00:29:45,534 --> 00:29:47,454
Do you wanna run some
power-up simulations first?

536
00:29:47,536 --> 00:29:51,290
How about I carry out my plan
and you keep the hot coffee coming?

537
00:29:53,459 --> 00:29:55,544
I was joking again, right?

538
00:29:57,922 --> 00:29:59,924
Now, where were we?

539
00:30:02,218 --> 00:30:04,303
Dr. Weir, I need to
speak to you right away.

540
00:30:04,387 --> 00:30:05,513
Okay... what is it?

541
00:30:05,596 --> 00:30:08,224
I've finished going over
the accident data.

542
00:30:08,849 --> 00:30:11,727
I think I know why the ancients
abandoned this technology.

543
00:30:16,315 --> 00:30:18,401
Colonel Sheppard,
this is Atlantis.

544
00:30:18,484 --> 00:30:19,902
Sheppard: Go ahead.

545
00:30:20,361 --> 00:30:21,821
Is Dr. McKay with you?

546
00:30:21,904 --> 00:30:23,531
Of course I am,
but we're a little busy

547
00:30:23,614 --> 00:30:25,032
getting ready
to run a test here.

548
00:30:26,367 --> 00:30:29,370
Actually, I would like you
to delay the test firing.

549
00:30:31,288 --> 00:30:33,791
We have reason to believe
that the weapon's power source,

550
00:30:33,874 --> 00:30:36,502
it may not be controllable
at any power level.

551
00:30:37,253 --> 00:30:38,921
Radek? Zelenka: Rodney.

552
00:30:39,005 --> 00:30:43,175
Okay, we've been over this. I'm
doing this manually, at half power.

553
00:30:43,259 --> 00:30:44,969
It's a cakewalk.

554
00:30:45,052 --> 00:30:48,556
I don't think it matters how
much cake you walk on.

555
00:30:48,639 --> 00:30:50,158
I've been doing
calculations of my own.

556
00:30:50,182 --> 00:30:54,353
And I believe that the very act of
trying to contain vacuum energy

557
00:30:54,437 --> 00:30:56,981
from our own space-time
creates an environment

558
00:30:57,064 --> 00:30:59,900
where the laws of physics
cease to apply.

559
00:30:59,984 --> 00:31:01,277
What are you on about?

560
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:02,820
As power output increases,

561
00:31:02,903 --> 00:31:06,532
new and exotic particles
are continuously created

562
00:31:06,615 --> 00:31:09,660
and destroyed inside
the containment chamber,

563
00:31:09,744 --> 00:31:13,205
interacting with each other
and with the field itself.

564
00:31:13,539 --> 00:31:18,544
Eventually, particles are created that
cannot be predicted in this space-time.

565
00:31:19,003 --> 00:31:22,131
And they breach the
containment field as hard radiation.

566
00:31:22,631 --> 00:31:25,217
But as long as I'm monitoring
the energy output manually,

567
00:31:25,301 --> 00:31:27,386
I can stop that
before it happens.

568
00:31:27,470 --> 00:31:32,058
You cannot predict something
that is inherently unpredictable.

569
00:31:32,141 --> 00:31:34,935
Rodney? I know what I'm doing.

570
00:31:35,186 --> 00:31:38,064
Rodney, I am trying to tell you

571
00:31:38,147 --> 00:31:41,067
as a friend,
I have serious doubts.

572
00:31:41,150 --> 00:31:43,360
Well, you're wrong.
I'm sorry, but there it is.

573
00:31:43,444 --> 00:31:45,255
And to bring this up now
when I'm just about to do this,

574
00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:47,656
smacks of nothing
but professional jealousy.

575
00:31:48,324 --> 00:31:51,077
Fine. Kill yourself.
Just like the ancients did.

576
00:31:51,410 --> 00:31:53,621
(Exclaiming)
What do you mean by that?

577
00:31:53,704 --> 00:31:56,332
I believe if the overload
is allowed to continue

578
00:31:56,415 --> 00:31:58,375
the weapon acts
as a sort of release valve

579
00:31:58,459 --> 00:32:01,128
to prevent catastrophic
containment failure.

580
00:32:01,212 --> 00:32:03,547
The ancients barely managed
to shut it down,

581
00:32:03,631 --> 00:32:05,716
and they lost their lives
in the process.

582
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,384
What we're suggesting
is that the wraith

583
00:32:07,468 --> 00:32:09,428
didn't kill everyone
on that planet.

584
00:32:09,512 --> 00:32:11,222
It was the weapon itself.

585
00:32:11,931 --> 00:32:13,158
That would explain
why this place

586
00:32:13,182 --> 00:32:14,367
is the only thing left standing.

587
00:32:14,391 --> 00:32:16,435
Congratulations,
you've solved the mystery

588
00:32:16,519 --> 00:32:18,437
of how the ancients
screwed up 10,000 years ago.

589
00:32:18,521 --> 00:32:19,881
It doesn't mean
I will do the same.

590
00:32:19,939 --> 00:32:21,774
Look, I don't know
how else to say this,

591
00:32:21,857 --> 00:32:23,859
but none of you are
capable of understanding this

592
00:32:23,943 --> 00:32:25,069
on the same level that I do.

593
00:32:25,152 --> 00:32:26,695
And, Zelenka, that includes you.

594
00:32:32,368 --> 00:32:35,454
Rodney, I cannot afford
to lose either one of you.

595
00:32:37,373 --> 00:32:40,709
Now tell me, can you do this?

596
00:32:41,377 --> 00:32:42,545
Yes.

597
00:32:43,045 --> 00:32:44,839
Are you sure? Yes.

598
00:32:44,922 --> 00:32:46,966
Are you sure you're sure?
I said, yes.

599
00:32:47,049 --> 00:32:49,260
Because if you're wrong...
I'm not!

600
00:32:58,686 --> 00:33:01,230
We'll call you back after the
test. How does that sound?

601
00:33:01,897 --> 00:33:03,149
You'd better.

602
00:33:04,692 --> 00:33:06,443
I won't let you down.

603
00:33:15,661 --> 00:33:16,996
(People chattering)

604
00:33:17,079 --> 00:33:18,372
How're you feeling?

605
00:33:18,581 --> 00:33:19,832
Fine.

606
00:33:23,586 --> 00:33:24,920
We should really be
getting back.

607
00:33:25,004 --> 00:33:26,922
Dr. Weir will be expecting us.

608
00:33:27,715 --> 00:33:28,883
Kell is here.

609
00:33:29,717 --> 00:33:30,843
What?

610
00:33:30,926 --> 00:33:32,237
He's meeting with hendon
right now.

611
00:33:32,261 --> 00:33:33,679
Solen just told me.

612
00:33:34,847 --> 00:33:36,390
I have to see him.

613
00:33:37,183 --> 00:33:40,102
And you would like me
to arrange a meeting.

614
00:33:41,103 --> 00:33:42,229
After yesterday,

615
00:33:42,313 --> 00:33:44,607
I don't think I'd get
very far if I asked myself.

616
00:33:49,695 --> 00:33:51,530
Okay, this is good.

617
00:33:52,072 --> 00:33:54,783
My equations
are working like a charm.

618
00:33:54,867 --> 00:33:58,287
Power level is at 40%,
just to be on the safe side.

619
00:33:58,370 --> 00:33:59,705
I think we're ready
for our test.

620
00:33:59,788 --> 00:34:01,624
Where do you want
the weapon targeted?

621
00:34:01,749 --> 00:34:04,376
The debris orbiting the
planet. Sounds good.

622
00:34:04,460 --> 00:34:07,671
Bringing the weapon online now.

623
00:34:08,547 --> 00:34:10,549
(Beeping)

624
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,266
(Beeping)

625
00:34:23,187 --> 00:34:24,396
What's that?

626
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,315
Energy surge. It's fine.

627
00:34:26,398 --> 00:34:28,108
I can regulate it.

628
00:34:29,485 --> 00:34:31,445
You said you...
The temperature inside

629
00:34:31,528 --> 00:34:34,490
the containment field is well
within acceptable parameters.

630
00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:38,494
I'm staying ahead of it.

631
00:34:38,577 --> 00:34:40,955
Levels are rising
in the chamber.

632
00:34:41,038 --> 00:34:44,250
Re-route power from the secondary
systems to the containment field.

633
00:34:44,333 --> 00:34:45,751
I'm thinking we need to abort.

634
00:34:45,834 --> 00:34:47,711
I can compensate.
Just give me a minute.

635
00:34:48,337 --> 00:34:50,631
It's overloading.
Just like last time.

636
00:34:50,714 --> 00:34:52,925
There is no logical reason
this shouldn't be working.

637
00:34:53,008 --> 00:34:55,094
McKay. None of this
should be happening.

638
00:34:55,177 --> 00:34:56,529
Look,
the energy levels are spiking

639
00:34:56,553 --> 00:34:58,406
at a rate far greater
than anything I predicted!

640
00:34:58,430 --> 00:34:59,556
Shut it down!

641
00:35:04,061 --> 00:35:05,229
Fine.

642
00:35:09,984 --> 00:35:11,694
(Beeping)

643
00:35:19,410 --> 00:35:20,869
It doesn't make any sense.

644
00:35:22,121 --> 00:35:23,372
What's wrong?

645
00:35:26,625 --> 00:35:28,335
I can't shut it down.

646
00:35:33,882 --> 00:35:35,426
(People chattering)

647
00:35:52,943 --> 00:35:54,320
(Door opens)

648
00:36:00,242 --> 00:36:01,869
I am kell from sateda.

649
00:36:02,286 --> 00:36:04,079
Teyla emmagan of athos.

650
00:36:04,163 --> 00:36:06,373
Thank you for granting us
your time.

651
00:36:09,251 --> 00:36:10,520
If we are to trade, I would know

652
00:36:10,544 --> 00:36:11,837
all the members of your party.

653
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,715
Of course. In fact,
that is why we are here.

654
00:36:20,512 --> 00:36:22,556
Ronon? Heho, keu

655
00:36:29,396 --> 00:36:31,398
Ronon, what have you done?

656
00:36:33,650 --> 00:36:35,361
We all know who this man was.

657
00:36:35,944 --> 00:36:37,321
What he was.

658
00:36:38,947 --> 00:36:41,742
If anyone here believes
he should be avenged,

659
00:36:44,870 --> 00:36:46,288
here I am.

660
00:37:14,149 --> 00:37:16,485
You just used me
to murder an innocent man!

661
00:37:17,820 --> 00:37:19,321
He deserved worse.

662
00:37:19,988 --> 00:37:21,990
You said he was
like a father to you.

663
00:37:23,158 --> 00:37:25,994
Kell commanded several
infantry divisions on sateda.

664
00:37:26,078 --> 00:37:29,873
And when the wraith came, he
ordered thousands to their death.

665
00:37:29,957 --> 00:37:32,918
Just to save himself. He was...

666
00:37:33,961 --> 00:37:36,755
He was a traitor and a coward.

667
00:37:38,966 --> 00:37:42,678
My only regret
is that his death was quick.

668
00:37:51,311 --> 00:37:52,855
I understand.

669
00:37:54,231 --> 00:37:56,525
In your place,
I might have done the same.

670
00:37:59,445 --> 00:38:03,407
But believe me when I tell you
that the others would not.

671
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,870
We must not speak of this
when we return to Atlantis.

672
00:38:11,999 --> 00:38:16,587
And if you ever use my
friendship in such a way again,

673
00:38:17,504 --> 00:38:21,008
I will not be so understanding.

674
00:38:33,979 --> 00:38:35,063
What was that?

675
00:38:35,147 --> 00:38:38,025
Weapon's discharging to
prevent a catastrophic overload.

676
00:38:38,108 --> 00:38:40,903
All right, that's it. We're out
of here. What did I just say?

677
00:38:40,986 --> 00:38:43,322
The weapon's firing at random
targets above the planet.

678
00:38:43,405 --> 00:38:45,324
This is the safest place
to be right now.

679
00:38:46,325 --> 00:38:48,702
The place isn't gonna be safe
for very much longer!

680
00:38:48,785 --> 00:38:52,080
I can bring it back under
control. Just give me a second.

681
00:38:52,164 --> 00:38:54,416
No, you can't! One second!

682
00:38:54,500 --> 00:38:55,700
I've seen this before, Rodney.

683
00:38:55,751 --> 00:38:58,170
Pilots who wouldn't eject
when something went wrong,

684
00:38:58,253 --> 00:39:01,590
trying to fix their planes
right until it hit the ground.

685
00:39:04,384 --> 00:39:05,844
Okay, we need to leave.

686
00:39:05,928 --> 00:39:07,137
I've waited too long.

687
00:39:07,221 --> 00:39:08,740
The weapon can't discharge
enough power

688
00:39:08,764 --> 00:39:09,908
to avoid a catastrophic ovedoad.

689
00:39:09,932 --> 00:39:11,266
This whole planet's gonna go up.

690
00:39:14,061 --> 00:39:15,729
Not that your speech
wasn't working.

691
00:39:22,444 --> 00:39:23,862
Okay, strap in.

692
00:39:23,946 --> 00:39:25,757
You need to avoid flying
in predictable trajectories

693
00:39:25,781 --> 00:39:26,966
to prevent the weapon
locking onto us.

694
00:39:26,990 --> 00:39:28,200
I know what I'm doing.

695
00:39:28,283 --> 00:39:30,452
I'm just saying, be sure
not to fly in a straight line.

696
00:39:30,536 --> 00:39:32,079
Rodney, shut up!

697
00:39:37,543 --> 00:39:40,879
Can I just say there's no way the
jumper can take even one direct hit.

698
00:39:40,963 --> 00:39:42,798
I'll keep that in mind.

699
00:39:54,309 --> 00:39:55,936
The weapon's locking onto us.

700
00:39:56,019 --> 00:39:58,730
I'm gonna fly us away from the
planet and return after the overload.

701
00:39:58,814 --> 00:40:00,774
We can't. Why not?

702
00:40:00,857 --> 00:40:01,900
Don't you understand?

703
00:40:01,984 --> 00:40:04,504
This explosion is gonna take out
three-quarters of the solar system.

704
00:40:04,528 --> 00:40:06,738
There's no way we can
fly far enough, fast enough.

705
00:40:06,822 --> 00:40:08,448
We have to head for the gate.

706
00:40:09,575 --> 00:40:11,034
Dial the gate.

707
00:40:17,499 --> 00:40:19,644
How do you intend to avoid
getting hit on the final approach?

708
00:40:19,668 --> 00:40:21,378
I haven't figured
that part out yet.

709
00:40:33,599 --> 00:40:36,977
Caldwell: It's a good thing we stopped
by to check on your progress, colonel.

710
00:40:37,477 --> 00:40:39,771
Make a break for the Stargate.
We'll run interference.

711
00:40:39,855 --> 00:40:41,523
Sheppard: Copy that, daedalus.

712
00:40:41,648 --> 00:40:44,109
Stand by to engage
sublight engines on my Mark.

713
00:40:44,192 --> 00:40:47,446
Recommend you go into
hyperspace as soon as we go through.

714
00:40:48,030 --> 00:40:50,574
There's gonna be a big bang.
Caldwell: Understood.

715
00:40:57,414 --> 00:40:59,041
(Explosion)

716
00:41:04,046 --> 00:41:06,256
(Weir and McKay arguing)

717
00:41:07,341 --> 00:41:09,551
Teyla: Take this grain
to the storage room.

718
00:41:10,344 --> 00:41:12,554
Weir: Everybody on this base
trusts you.

719
00:41:12,638 --> 00:41:14,473
You are the smartest man
we have.

720
00:41:14,556 --> 00:41:15,599
McKay: I know.

721
00:41:15,682 --> 00:41:17,535
Weir: You knew there was a
question about what you were doing.

722
00:41:17,559 --> 00:41:20,437
You put your life and
other people's lives at risk.

723
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,565
You destroyed three-quarters
of a solar system!

724
00:41:23,649 --> 00:41:25,043
Well, five-sixths.
It's not an exact science.

725
00:41:25,067 --> 00:41:28,236
Rodney, can you give your
ego a rest for one second?

726
00:41:31,031 --> 00:41:34,242
Oh, colonel. Colonel.

727
00:41:35,744 --> 00:41:38,664
I've been looking all
over for you. I heard.

728
00:41:42,167 --> 00:41:43,752
I suppose I deserve that.

729
00:41:44,044 --> 00:41:45,420
Look, I just...

730
00:41:46,421 --> 00:41:48,024
I wanted to apologize
about what happened.

731
00:41:48,048 --> 00:41:49,591
I was wrong. I'm sorry.

732
00:41:50,133 --> 00:41:53,553
And I wanted to assure you
that I intend on being right again.

733
00:41:53,929 --> 00:41:55,847
About everything,
effective immediately.

734
00:42:00,852 --> 00:42:02,729
That was a joke. Good one.

735
00:42:04,773 --> 00:42:06,566
I've already
apologized to Elizabeth.

736
00:42:07,526 --> 00:42:08,902
And radek and...

737
00:42:09,945 --> 00:42:11,863
And I thanked colonel Caldwell
for caring enough

738
00:42:11,947 --> 00:42:13,740
to spy on the experiment
from orbit.

739
00:42:13,990 --> 00:42:16,076
Sent him a nice
little e-mail, actually.

740
00:42:16,618 --> 00:42:20,622
But I saved you till last
'cause... honestly, I would...

741
00:42:20,872 --> 00:42:22,517
I would hate to think that
recent events might have

742
00:42:22,541 --> 00:42:25,877
permanently dimmed your faith
in my abilities.

743
00:42:27,087 --> 00:42:28,964
Or your trust.

744
00:42:29,047 --> 00:42:31,925
At the very least, I hope
I can... I can earn that back.

745
00:42:34,136 --> 00:42:35,595
That may take a while.

746
00:42:38,014 --> 00:42:39,307
I see.

747
00:42:39,933 --> 00:42:42,644
But, I'm sure you can do it

748
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,313
if you really, really try.

749
