1
00:00:01,201 --> 00:00:03,150
Previously on Stargate Atlantis.
2
00:00:03,185 --> 00:00:05,540
They're not people.
They're machines.
3
00:00:05,575 --> 00:00:08,401
They've even built themselves
a version of Atlantis.
4
00:00:09,987 --> 00:00:12,112
The probes of your minds
uncovered the truth.
5
00:00:12,302 --> 00:00:15,863
You only came to live there from
your original home, a planet called Earth.
6
00:00:16,139 --> 00:00:17,600
Our intention is to destroy it.
7
00:00:17,601 --> 00:00:21,955
They see humans as the favoured siblings
who receive all the parents' love.
8
00:00:21,990 --> 00:00:24,305
They've been seeking revenge ever since.
9
00:00:24,340 --> 00:00:27,534
Atlantis is under attack
from Replicators.
10
00:00:27,569 --> 00:00:32,096
I'll be damned if I'm going to let a bunch of
replicators take our home away from us.
11
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:35,996
They emit a directional energy beam that
disrupts the connection between nanites.
12
00:00:35,997 --> 00:00:38,300
So the Replicators literally
fall apart when you fire on 'em.
13
00:00:38,301 --> 00:00:41,719
Well, we beat 'em this time,
maybe we scared them off.
14
00:00:42,641 --> 00:00:44,076
Maybe.
15
00:00:48,103 --> 00:00:49,260
Doctor Weir?
16
00:00:50,066 --> 00:00:52,756
Doctor Keller. How is
my Head of Medicine?
17
00:00:52,791 --> 00:00:57,258
Uh, Acting Head of Medicine, actually, and
that's kinda what I wanted to talk to you about.
18
00:00:57,367 --> 00:00:58,919
What's up?
19
00:01:00,061 --> 00:01:02,998
- I need to be replaced.
- Excuse me?
20
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,508
Look, after Carson
21
00:01:06,941 --> 00:01:11,300
Someone had to step up and take over, and
I'm glad to help out, don't get me wrong. But.
22
00:01:11,301 --> 00:01:14,362
I'm not qualified to run a
department of this size. You...
23
00:01:14,671 --> 00:01:17,915
You need someone... better.
24
00:01:17,916 --> 00:01:20,034
Everyone down there
says you're doing great.
25
00:01:20,069 --> 00:01:22,100
Well, I'm not sure that's true,
26
00:01:22,101 --> 00:01:26,608
and it's been pretty smooth sailing over
the last few weeks. I think I've been lucky.
27
00:01:26,609 --> 00:01:29,100
Well, the IOA are reviewing
candidates but,
28
00:01:29,101 --> 00:01:31,514
to be honest, they're not
that great at making quick decisions.
29
00:01:31,515 --> 00:01:34,813
Yeah. So, a week?
Two weeks?
30
00:01:34,848 --> 00:01:36,700
I just haven't been sleeping very well.
31
00:01:36,701 --> 00:01:39,743
This whole being in control
thing kind of makes me anxious.
32
00:01:39,744 --> 00:01:42,012
Carson felt the same way
his first few months.
33
00:01:42,047 --> 00:01:44,234
I appreciate you trying to lie to me.
34
00:01:48,291 --> 00:01:52,958
Look, I feel very comfortable with my life in
your hands; and at the end of the day.
35
00:01:52,993 --> 00:01:55,300
That means you're
doin' a pretty good job.
36
00:01:55,301 --> 00:01:59,402
Dealing with the pressure
it does get easier with time.
37
00:01:59,403 --> 00:02:03,345
Right. Uh,
how much time, exactly?
38
00:02:04,083 --> 00:02:07,200
Like, it'll get easier over the next
two weeks and then you'll replace me,
39
00:02:07,201 --> 00:02:10,115
so I can go back
to being a regular doctor?
40
00:02:10,116 --> 00:02:12,017
I'll keep you posted!
41
00:02:14,656 --> 00:02:15,820
Thanks.
42
00:02:18,624 --> 00:02:22,246
- Can I please have someone else do these?
- Performance evaluations? - Yes.
43
00:02:22,281 --> 00:02:25,200
No. Year-end employee
reviews are important.
44
00:02:25,201 --> 00:02:27,500
They're how people
get promotions, and raises.
45
00:02:27,501 --> 00:02:32,154
OK, look. Asking me to do performance evaluations
is ridiculous. I am the first person to admit.
46
00:02:32,154 --> 00:02:34,083
I don't know who these
people are, nor do I care to.
47
00:02:34,084 --> 00:02:36,600
Look, if you'd like, I could take
you down the hall to the labs and just
48
00:02:36,601 --> 00:02:41,218
point at the people who annoy me more than
the rest, but that's about as useful as I get.
49
00:02:42,460 --> 00:02:44,350
- All done.
- Oh, of course !
50
00:02:44,385 --> 00:02:45,620
That was quick!
51
00:02:47,389 --> 00:02:51,350
Hey, John, wait a minute. You've just given
everyone excellent and above averages.
52
00:02:51,351 --> 00:02:53,200
- Ooh! Can I do that?
- No!
53
00:02:53,201 --> 00:02:55,650
I know this is not the most
glamorous part of your job
54
00:02:55,651 --> 00:02:57,800
but you are in
leadership positions and,
55
00:02:57,801 --> 00:03:01,401
unfortunately, that comes
with administrative responsibilities.
56
00:03:01,402 --> 00:03:04,240
Well, everybody who works for
me is excellent and above average.
57
00:03:04,275 --> 00:03:07,858
You want me to lie? 'Cause I don't
think leaders should lie, Elizabeth.
58
00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:11,295
- Doctor Weir?
- Yes, Chuck?
59
00:03:11,330 --> 00:03:13,465
The Apollo just came out of hyperspace.
60
00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:15,051
They're ahead of schedule.
61
00:03:15,819 --> 00:03:19,381
Probably just tryin' to show off you know,
bein' a new ship an' all.
62
00:03:19,573 --> 00:03:22,453
Colonel Ellis, you've made excellent
time on your first voyage here.
63
00:03:22,488 --> 00:03:25,900
- Thank you. I'm beaming down now.
- Very well. We'll meet ...
64
00:03:30,144 --> 00:03:32,172
Set up in the Conference Room.
65
00:03:32,569 --> 00:03:33,506
Doctor.
66
00:03:33,872 --> 00:03:36,407
- Colonel. Welcome.
- Thank you.
67
00:03:36,783 --> 00:03:39,700
Colonel Sheppard, Doctor McKay.
68
00:03:39,701 --> 00:03:42,898
This is gonna make things easier.
I'll need to brief you all immediately.
69
00:03:42,933 --> 00:03:47,557
- What's going on?
- Well, I'd prefer to talk in private.
70
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:50,774
Subtitles downloaded from www.OpenSubtitles.org
71
00:03:55,450 --> 00:03:59,200
Ever since the human-form
Replicators made a play for the city.
72
00:03:59,388 --> 00:04:04,186
We've had the Daedalus make regular
reconnaissance fly-bys of their home planet.
73
00:04:04,221 --> 00:04:08,704
- Yes, we know.
- Two months ago, it took these pictures.
74
00:04:10,272 --> 00:04:12,628
I'm sorry, what am I supposed
to be looking at here?
75
00:04:12,663 --> 00:04:15,373
- Nothing.
- Excuse me?
76
00:04:16,626 --> 00:04:23,198
This image was taken about three
weeks ago in the very same location.
77
00:04:23,233 --> 00:04:28,134
- They're building ships a lot of them.
- Why weren't we made aware of this?
78
00:04:28,134 --> 00:04:30,089
I'm making you aware of it now.
79
00:04:30,821 --> 00:04:34,095
Well, if they're coming for us, we should start making
preparations to bolster the shield. I mean, we should...
80
00:04:34,095 --> 00:04:35,704
They're not gonna get here.
81
00:04:35,739 --> 00:04:40,953
I'm here to inform you that in precisely
twelve hours, the Apollo in consort with your team.
82
00:04:41,326 --> 00:04:46,200
Will launch a surgical strike
on the Replicator planet.

106
00:05:52,452 --> 00:05:56,435
- So, uh, you're gonna blow up their ships.
- That's right.
107
00:05:56,470 --> 00:05:58,379
- Just like that?
- Just like that.
108
00:05:58,414 --> 00:06:00,037
How the hell do
you plan on doing that?
109
00:06:00,072 --> 00:06:02,400
A set of Mark Nine tactical nukes
110
00:06:02,401 --> 00:06:06,632
housed in a custom-made
weapons platform codenamed Horizon.
111
00:06:06,667 --> 00:06:07,853
How many nukes do you have?
112
00:06:07,854 --> 00:06:11,000
The Horizon carries six warheads
and four decoys.
113
00:06:11,001 --> 00:06:14,033
I'm gonna need you to do a final
inspection before we head out.
114
00:06:14,034 --> 00:06:16,601
- Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, wait. Six?
- That's right.
115
00:06:16,636 --> 00:06:22,613
That's not enough. - The Replicators are
self-replicating robots, which means that they can...
116
00:06:22,648 --> 00:06:26,508
I'm aware of that, thank you, Doctor, but
they're not like the Milky Way Replicators.
117
00:06:26,509 --> 00:06:28,500
Their ships aren't built from nano-cells.
118
00:06:28,501 --> 00:06:32,185
They're constructed of real material
that can be destroyed.
119
00:06:32,201 --> 00:06:34,289
Six will be more than enough for now.
120
00:06:34,324 --> 00:06:37,500
"For now"? Look, isn't this a bit
like poking a sleeping dragon?
121
00:06:37,501 --> 00:06:41,156
Why don't we just wait 'til
Area 51 finishes the PWARWs?
122
00:06:41,157 --> 00:06:44,300
- Which one's that, again?
- Planetary-Wide Anti-Replicator Weapons.
123
00:06:44,301 --> 00:06:48,675
Look, the Asgard were capable of creating a satellite
that could wipe out an entire Replicator planet.
124
00:06:48,710 --> 00:06:50,800
I mean, we've had some
trouble making one of our own but.
125
00:06:50,801 --> 00:06:56,412
Look, would I prefer taking out
an entire planet at once? Absolutely.
126
00:06:56,413 --> 00:06:59,900
But this image is giving
the IOA a lot of sleepless nights.
127
00:06:59,901 --> 00:07:05,076
The Replicators know the location of Earth and,
with these new ships, have the means to get there.
128
00:07:05,077 --> 00:07:10,404
We can't just sit on our hands while the guys
at Area 51 try to come up with a solution.
129
00:07:10,439 --> 00:07:16,264
This mission's primary objective
is to eliminate key military targets.
130
00:07:16,299 --> 00:07:18,900
We'll come back and finish once
the new weapon is up and running.
131
00:07:18,901 --> 00:07:22,400
Doctor, I'm gonna need you to start
your inspections as soon as possible.
132
00:07:22,401 --> 00:07:25,240
- Well, yes, sure. I just...
- Doctor McKay is ready to beam.
133
00:07:25,275 --> 00:07:27,208
Well, he's not, actually...
134
00:07:30,147 --> 00:07:31,500
OK.
135
00:07:33,755 --> 00:07:35,700
We're finished here.
136
00:07:36,551 --> 00:07:37,623
Thank you.
137
00:07:42,148 --> 00:07:45,968
- Can you believe this?
- No.
138
00:07:46,003 --> 00:07:48,761
It all seems too good to be true.
139
00:07:49,274 --> 00:07:50,378
What?!
140
00:07:50,641 --> 00:07:54,007
Well, if those nukes do
what Ellis says they do...
141
00:07:54,042 --> 00:07:58,500
Since we won back the city, we haven't
heard so much as a peep from the Replicators.
142
00:07:58,501 --> 00:08:00,597
Well, obviously
they haven't gone away.
143
00:08:00,712 --> 00:08:04,070
No, but maybe they've decided that
we are more trouble than we're worth.
144
00:08:04,105 --> 00:08:07,490
That the threat of our AR weapons
is enough to keep them at bay.
145
00:08:08,420 --> 00:08:12,010
You don't build that many ships
to make a run at Atlantis.
146
00:08:13,374 --> 00:08:15,331
They're headed for Earth.
147
00:08:21,713 --> 00:08:23,000
Colonel.
148
00:08:23,630 --> 00:08:26,911
- May I have a word?
- Sure.
149
00:08:33,544 --> 00:08:37,380
- This mission is a mistake.
- It most certainly is not.
150
00:08:37,415 --> 00:08:41,765
It is an ineffectual first strike. You've gotta
know how dangerous that could be for us.
151
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,884
All due respect, Doctor, it won't be ineffectual.
Besides, the IOA doesn't think we can wait.
152
00:08:47,069 --> 00:08:50,200
I think we should stall them
try to open a round of negotiations.
153
00:08:50,235 --> 00:08:54,260
They're not a race of people.
They're a weapon. Try to keep that in mind.
154
00:08:54,295 --> 00:08:56,300
Weapon or not, they're sentient.
155
00:08:56,301 --> 00:09:01,062
Negotiating with them could buy us
enough time to get the PWARW up and running.
156
00:09:01,254 --> 00:09:05,800
Usually I'd be more than happy to go twelve
rounds here about who's right and who's wrong,
157
00:09:05,801 --> 00:09:06,963
but it wouldn't matter.
158
00:09:06,964 --> 00:09:10,500
I have my orders, and you don't have
the authority to tell me to stand down,
159
00:09:10,501 --> 00:09:14,935
so, again, with all due respect, ma'am,
160
00:09:14,970 --> 00:09:17,374
I have a mission to execute.
161
00:09:25,123 --> 00:09:31,879
Well, the specs check out. We've loaded
the target information. They're ready.
162
00:09:32,011 --> 00:09:36,841
Yeah. It's good to go.
This is a bad idea, isn't it?
163
00:09:37,005 --> 00:09:39,300
We could tell them
they're not ready you know,
164
00:09:39,301 --> 00:09:41,598
there's a fault with the guidance
system or something.
165
00:09:41,633 --> 00:09:45,473
I thought about that. They're gonna have guys
here to contradict us pretty quickly.
166
00:09:45,508 --> 00:09:50,586
Yep. But we're here alone. We could
make them not ready.
167
00:09:51,328 --> 00:09:56,341
They're building an armada, Radek.
I saw them. They showed me the pictures.
168
00:09:56,893 --> 00:10:01,032
I'd feel pretty stupid if we break this thing, only
to have the Replicators show up and destroy the city.
169
00:10:01,033 --> 00:10:05,100
Yeah. Yeah,
that would be bad.
170
00:10:07,984 --> 00:10:09,987
Tell the Colonel we're good to go.
171
00:10:13,967 --> 00:10:15,900
- Hey.
- Hey.
172
00:10:18,732 --> 00:10:24,200
Colonel Ellis has asked me
to join the mission. - I know.
173
00:10:24,986 --> 00:10:28,300
I was gonna stay behind in a cloaked
Jumper after they launch the warheads;
174
00:10:28,301 --> 00:10:29,994
do some battle damage assessment.
175
00:10:29,995 --> 00:10:32,100
I know that too.
176
00:10:32,835 --> 00:10:37,248
He told me that you called Woolsey and General O'Neill
and tried to get the whole thing called off.
177
00:10:37,275 --> 00:10:40,063
- Yes, I did.
- They didn't bite.
178
00:10:40,496 --> 00:10:41,768
They did not.
179
00:10:42,797 --> 00:10:47,967
Look, I know you think we're doing
the wrong thing here, but, uh... - John...
180
00:10:50,186 --> 00:10:52,500
Good luck.
181
00:11:04,101 --> 00:11:04,602
Alright.
Horizon is online.
182
00:11:04,601 --> 00:11:06,812
Alright.
Horizon is online.
183
00:11:07,101 --> 00:11:12,234
The warheads are armed and we
are ready for final sequencing
184
00:11:12,235 --> 00:11:14,700
- as soon as we drop out of hyperspace.
- Start now.
185
00:11:14,801 --> 00:11:15,716
- as soon as we drop out of hyperspace.
- Start now.
186
00:11:15,717 --> 00:11:17,300
- Open the bomb bay doors.
- We're still in hyperspace.
187
00:11:17,301 --> 00:11:18,696
- Open the bomb bay doors.
- We're still in hyperspace.
188
00:11:18,801 --> 00:11:21,600
We're coming out of our jump
uncomfortably close to the planet.
189
00:11:21,601 --> 00:11:24,414
I don't wanna waste
any time. Just get it done.
190
00:11:24,801 --> 00:11:26,388
Well, you're the boss.
191
00:11:39,140 --> 00:11:41,400
Ready to launch
on your command.
192
00:11:41,947 --> 00:11:46,243
You're sure about this, right?
I mean, like, this is the right thing to do?
193
00:11:46,244 --> 00:11:49,171
Not the best time for
that kind of talk, Doctor.
194
00:11:49,673 --> 00:11:51,389
Right. Sorry.
195
00:11:51,390 --> 00:11:54,200
Coming out of hyperspace in
five, four, three, two, one.
196
00:11:54,201 --> 00:11:56,800
Coming out of hyperspace in
five, four, three, two, one.
197
00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:02,044
Launch the Horizon.
198
00:13:25,133 --> 00:13:25,900
We have detonation confirmation
on all six warheads.
199
00:13:25,901 --> 00:13:28,771
We have detonation confirmation
on all six warheads.
200
00:13:28,772 --> 00:13:32,062
- Sheppard, you have a go for launch.
- Copy that.
201
00:13:36,549 --> 00:13:38,900
- Clear. Jump away. - Very well. We'll
pick you up in an hour. Pull us out of here.
202
00:13:38,901 --> 00:13:41,824
- Clear. Jump away. - Very well. We'll
pick you up in an hour. Pull us out of here.
203
00:13:55,190 --> 00:13:56,900
There is so much
radiation interference,
204
00:13:56,901 --> 00:13:59,747
it's hard to get an accurate yield
calculation from the scan telemetry.
205
00:13:59,748 --> 00:14:02,900
Please, there is more than enough data. It's not
like we're trying to take out a person here.
206
00:14:02,901 --> 00:14:05,481
We're taking out massive chunks of a city.
207
00:14:05,482 --> 00:14:09,084
Someone just please tell me
if we hit our targets or not.
208
00:14:09,085 --> 00:14:11,007
If this data is right,
209
00:14:11,406 --> 00:14:15,466
then all of your primaries and most of your
secondaries have been incinerated.
210
00:14:15,467 --> 00:14:16,736
Excellent.
211
00:14:24,048 --> 00:14:26,162
- Welcome back.
- Thanks.
212
00:14:26,283 --> 00:14:29,228
- I hear congratulations are in order.
- Yeah, you heard right.
213
00:14:29,540 --> 00:14:33,594
- How was the mission? Was it a success?
- We did get all the ships.
214
00:14:33,595 --> 00:14:35,215
I wish I could've been there to see it.
215
00:14:35,216 --> 00:14:39,163
Well, space battles are always a lot more
exciting on TV than they are in real life.
216
00:14:39,164 --> 00:14:44,722
Doctor Weir? You're gonna wanna see this.
We've got a contact.
217
00:14:44,882 --> 00:14:47,689
- Just came out of hyperspace.
- Is it broadcasting IFF?
218
00:14:47,706 --> 00:14:49,334
- No, ma'am.
- Wraith?
219
00:14:49,386 --> 00:14:51,344
Naah. It's very small. I doubt it.
220
00:14:52,037 --> 00:14:55,865
Raise the shield. - It's taking up
a geosynchronous orbit above the city.
221
00:14:55,866 --> 00:14:57,182
What is it?
222
00:14:58,170 --> 00:15:00,734
Maybe we should have
the Apollo check it out.
223
00:15:00,994 --> 00:15:03,748
Tell the Colonel he needs
to get back to his ship.
224
00:15:22,804 --> 00:15:24,692
- Right ahead of us, sir.
- Shields?
225
00:15:24,693 --> 00:15:26,650
Affirmative. Shields are up.
226
00:15:30,046 --> 00:15:31,900
OK, I've got a visual. Looks
like a satellite of some sort.
227
00:15:31,901 --> 00:15:34,637
OK, I've got a visual. Looks
like a satellite of some sort.
228
00:15:44,634 --> 00:15:47,354
- It's a Stargate!
- A Stargate?
229
00:15:47,614 --> 00:15:48,775
That's right.
230
00:15:49,501 --> 00:15:51,400
I thought you said
it was a satellite.
231
00:15:51,401 --> 00:15:52,300
It's both. It's a satellite, but
in the middle there's a... Stargate.
232
00:15:52,301 --> 00:15:56,100
It's both. It's a satellite, but
in the middle there's a... Stargate.
233
00:15:56,482 --> 00:15:59,412
- What could be the purpose of that?
- I've no idea.
234
00:16:02,807 --> 00:16:04,000
- It just activated.
- The Gate?!
235
00:16:04,001 --> 00:16:05,100
- It just activated.
- The Gate?!
236
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,076
Get us away from it!
237
00:16:12,803 --> 00:16:15,194
Sir, the satellite is turning again.
238
00:16:22,504 --> 00:16:23,959
It's hitting the planet.
239
00:16:35,186 --> 00:16:39,205
- It's a sustained beam.
- That is bad for a dozen different reasons.
240
00:16:47,001 --> 00:16:48,500
It's protected by a shield.
Give me some options, McKay.
241
00:16:48,501 --> 00:16:50,415
It's protected by a shield.
Give me some options, McKay.
242
00:16:50,416 --> 00:16:52,841
The shield's taking
its power from the beam.
243
00:16:52,842 --> 00:16:55,100
Look, I registered a slight drop
in output when you fired on it.
244
00:16:55,101 --> 00:16:56,981
Could I get a nuke past its shield?
245
00:16:56,982 --> 00:16:58,333
No, probably not.
246
00:16:58,334 --> 00:17:01,100
I'll get in the Chair and give it everything
we've got. Maybe that'll collapse the shield.
247
00:17:01,101 --> 00:17:03,500
I said "slight" as
in point zero zero two. Look,
248
00:17:03,501 --> 00:17:06,596
I doubt any amount of firepower is gonna
collapse it while that beam is active.
249
00:17:06,597 --> 00:17:07,800
Then what do we do? - We stand down
and let me think, is what we do.
250
00:17:07,801 --> 00:17:09,853
Then what do we do? - We stand down
and let me think, is what we do.
251
00:17:09,854 --> 00:17:11,900
- Just give me five minutes to get my bearings.
- I'll brief you. - McKay, it's shooting at us.
252
00:17:11,901 --> 00:17:12,900
- Just give me five minutes to get my bearings.
- I'll brief you. - McKay, it's shooting at us.
253
00:17:12,901 --> 00:17:15,500
Yes, and the shields are holding.
254
00:17:15,501 --> 00:17:18,203
Look, we've got plenty
of time... just give me five minutes.
255
00:17:31,647 --> 00:17:34,400
- What've you got?
- We're in trouble.
256
00:17:34,401 --> 00:17:37,762
It took you five minutes to figure that out?
You're slippin', buddy.
257
00:17:37,763 --> 00:17:40,400
Look, the satellite is basically
just a stripped-down ship.
258
00:17:40,401 --> 00:17:43,185
There's a hyperdrive engine,
a shield, and navigational systems.
259
00:17:43,186 --> 00:17:46,500
There's a small power source that was
designed to take it to its intended target
260
00:17:46,501 --> 00:17:48,600
and power the shield
until the Gate can be dialled.
261
00:17:48,601 --> 00:17:51,800
But once a wormhole has been established
to whoever's on the dialling side,
262
00:17:51,801 --> 00:17:54,965
it fires a beam into their Stargate
and it comes out on our side,
263
00:17:54,966 --> 00:17:57,840
allowing them to fire on us
and to power the satellite.
264
00:17:57,841 --> 00:17:59,175
That's very clever.
265
00:17:59,176 --> 00:18:02,000
Yes. As long as they can keep
the beam powered from home,
266
00:18:02,001 --> 00:18:03,662
the weapon remains operational.
267
00:18:03,663 --> 00:18:09,136
Oh, and one fun added side bonus is that because
their Stargate is in such close proximity to our planet,
268
00:18:09,137 --> 00:18:12,895
- we can't dial our Stargate. We're stuck.
- Maybe that's a good thing.
269
00:18:13,380 --> 00:18:16,759
The beam'll turn off at the end of
the Gate's thirty-eight minute cycle.
270
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,587
If we dial our Gate at that precise moment,
we can neutralise theirs.
271
00:18:20,588 --> 00:18:24,155
What, and if it's not pulling power
from the beam any more,
272
00:18:24,156 --> 00:18:26,300
then we can collapse
its shield and destroy it.
273
00:18:26,301 --> 00:18:29,907
Sure. The problem is, I don't think it's gonna
shut down in thirty-eight minutes.
274
00:18:29,908 --> 00:18:34,447
But I thought it was physically impossible for
an artificial wormhole to stay open any longer.
275
00:18:34,448 --> 00:18:36,300
There is one exception to that rule.
276
00:18:36,301 --> 00:18:39,535
The SGC has encountered attacks
of this kind on their own Stargate
277
00:18:39,541 --> 00:18:42,700
and sadly we've discovered that
if you pump enough energy into it,
278
00:18:42,701 --> 00:18:44,910
a Stargate can remain active indefinitely.
279
00:18:44,911 --> 00:18:47,900
That would require an insane
amount of power, wouldn't it?
280
00:18:47,901 --> 00:18:50,904
Like a black hole, or
an unlimited number of ZPMs.
281
00:18:50,905 --> 00:18:54,542
- So we can assume the Replicators
are behind this. - Well, I hope so.
282
00:18:54,543 --> 00:18:58,335
- You hope so? - Well, otherwise, we've
discovered yet another super-powerful enemy.
283
00:18:58,336 --> 00:19:01,315
If it is a normal Stargate, can we
still contact the dialling planet?
284
00:19:01,501 --> 00:19:05,767
Well, I'll need to boost the signal considerably
to get through the interference, but, uh, yes.
285
00:19:05,768 --> 00:19:07,904
- See what you can do, please.
- Right.
286
00:19:08,695 --> 00:19:11,866
- Why would you wanna contact them?
- To negotiate.
287
00:19:12,264 --> 00:19:15,764
It's a waste of energy. We need to
figure out how to destroy it.
288
00:19:16,041 --> 00:19:19,090
I'd love to go twelve rounds here
about who's right and who's wrong,
289
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:22,200
but at the end of the day I'm responsible
for the well-being of this city,
290
00:19:22,201 --> 00:19:25,967
and you don't have the authority
to tell me to stand down.
291
00:19:25,968 --> 00:19:30,200
So with all due respect,
I think I'll place my call.
292
00:19:37,073 --> 00:19:40,330
Alright.
I think I've got it.
293
00:19:40,850 --> 00:19:42,721
They're responding
to the transmission.
294
00:19:44,661 --> 00:19:46,100
- Oberoth!
- Doctor Weir.
295
00:19:46,101 --> 00:19:47,432
- Oberoth!
- Doctor Weir.
296
00:19:47,433 --> 00:19:49,650
I must say I'm surprised
to see you.
297
00:19:49,702 --> 00:19:54,328
Each of us exists within the collective
and can be replicated many times.
298
00:19:54,329 --> 00:19:56,600
You need to disable your weapon
immediately. - That is not possible.
299
00:19:56,601 --> 00:19:57,949
You need to disable your weapon
immediately. - That is not possible.
300
00:19:57,950 --> 00:20:00,500
We had no choice but to attack you.
You're building warships.
301
00:20:00,501 --> 00:20:02,000
- They need to be neutralised.
- And now, so do you.
302
00:20:02,001 --> 00:20:04,200
- They need to be neutralised.
- And now, so do you.
303
00:20:04,201 --> 00:20:09,400
That assault was just the tip of the spear.
We were hoping it would bring you to your senses.
304
00:20:09,401 --> 00:20:13,800
If you don't stop this aggression,
we will be forced to launch an all-out attack.
305
00:20:13,801 --> 00:20:16,800
Really? Why have you waited?
306
00:20:16,801 --> 00:20:20,600
The annihilation of
your people is not our goal.
307
00:20:20,601 --> 00:20:22,900
Ideally, we would like
a peace to exist between us,
308
00:20:22,901 --> 00:20:27,300
but we will not stand idly by while you build ships
and weapons that can be used to destroy us.
309
00:20:27,301 --> 00:20:30,700
Interesting. We feel
the same way about you.
310
00:20:30,701 --> 00:20:35,400
Perhaps I should remind you every time we've
met in battle, our side has been clearly victorious.
311
00:20:35,401 --> 00:20:38,200
Elizabeth. They're attempting to upload
a virus on the comm bandwidth.
312
00:20:38,201 --> 00:20:41,400
- I've been able to stop it for now but I'm not...
- Shut it down.
313
00:20:44,201 --> 00:20:48,700
- Well, that went well!
- Yeah. Always been one of my favourites.
314
00:20:49,101 --> 00:20:53,000
What if the Gate doesn't shut down
at the end of its thirty-eight minute cycle?
315
00:20:53,701 --> 00:20:56,400
Look, if they're able to maintain
the energy beam's intensity,
316
00:20:56,401 --> 00:21:00,100
- which I'm sure they will...
- And how long 'til our shield fails?
317
00:21:00,101 --> 00:21:02,400
It's twenty-nine hours.
318
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:23,000
Well, it was worth a shot.
319
00:21:23,001 --> 00:21:27,700
- Alright, we're gonna need another plan.
- Yeah, OK.
320
00:21:30,101 --> 00:21:32,400
Look, stop dialling.
It's not working.
321
00:21:33,001 --> 00:21:34,700
Sir.
322
00:21:35,900 --> 00:21:38,000
You two give us a minute.
323
00:21:39,101 --> 00:21:41,700
What can I do for you, John?
324
00:21:43,401 --> 00:21:45,600
We need to head back
to the Replicator planet.
325
00:21:45,601 --> 00:21:49,700
We do, do we? - Yeah. If this satellite
weapon is powered by its homeworld,
326
00:21:49,701 --> 00:21:52,300
maybe we can neutralise
it at the source.
327
00:21:52,301 --> 00:21:55,500
Well, the Apollo is in no condition
to get in a battle right now.
328
00:21:55,501 --> 00:21:59,000
- That beam took a lot out of our shield.
- No, we've gotta do something.
329
00:21:59,001 --> 00:22:04,200
We did do something. - I'm sorry, sir, but I can't
help but think that we're somehow responsible for this.
330
00:22:04,201 --> 00:22:07,400
- Why, because Weir said so?
- No, sir.
331
00:22:07,401 --> 00:22:10,600
John, listen to me.
I, uh,
332
00:22:11,301 --> 00:22:12,600
I've been over your record.
333
00:22:12,601 --> 00:22:17,700
I know you have your detractors but personally
I think you've done a hell of a job here.
334
00:22:17,701 --> 00:22:21,900
- Thank you, sir.
- You should be running Atlantis, not Doctor Weir.
335
00:22:23,501 --> 00:22:28,500
Then I'd be The Man, and who
would I have to rage against?
336
00:22:28,801 --> 00:22:35,200
Listen. Because of us, Earth won't have
to deal with an armada of Replicator ships,
337
00:22:35,201 --> 00:22:40,700
so whatever happens here,
we did the right thing today.
338
00:22:43,201 --> 00:22:43,850
I'm sorry.
339
00:22:43,851 --> 00:22:44,800
I'm sorry.
340
00:22:44,801 --> 00:22:47,450
It's just...
they didn't even consult me.
341
00:22:47,451 --> 00:22:50,400
I imagine they felt the need
for secrecy was great.
342
00:22:50,401 --> 00:22:54,700
I have the highest level of
clearance humanly possible, Teyla. No.
343
00:22:54,701 --> 00:22:57,600
Tthey're trying to undermine me.
Some of the military doesn't like
344
00:22:57,601 --> 00:23:00,800
that a civilian, let alone a woman,
is in charge of this city.
345
00:23:00,801 --> 00:23:03,100
Surely General O'Neill
doesn't feel that way.
346
00:23:03,101 --> 00:23:05,900
And the IOA, they've backed you
several times. They believe in you.
347
00:23:05,901 --> 00:23:09,700
Yes, when things are going well, but
as soon as we run into a major problem,
348
00:23:09,701 --> 00:23:13,100
the military steps in
and assumes absolute control.
349
00:23:13,101 --> 00:23:18,600
Certainly you don't wish to coordinate military
attacks. - No, and that's not what I'm saying. Look,
350
00:23:18,601 --> 00:23:22,900
our current situation could have easily
been avoided. I told them as much,
351
00:23:22,901 --> 00:23:27,400
but they put next to no weight behind my opinions
regarding the safety and protection of this city.
352
00:23:27,401 --> 00:23:31,500
Yes, the IOA is happy
to have me as lead administrator,
353
00:23:31,501 --> 00:23:35,200
but when it comes to the big decisions...
354
00:23:38,801 --> 00:23:42,000
If we get out of this, I think
I may have to step down.
355
00:23:42,001 --> 00:23:44,850
Give it some time. You need
to step back and...
356
00:23:44,851 --> 00:23:47,300
We've got something.
357
00:23:56,001 --> 00:23:58,200
We were throwing some ideas
back and forth... well,
358
00:23:58,201 --> 00:24:00,000
he was throwing them forth
and I was throwing them back
359
00:24:00,001 --> 00:24:03,400
and while he was droning on about some idea that
might have worked, it suddenly occurred to me:
360
00:24:03,501 --> 00:24:06,200
this city has encountered problems
like this before, so I...
361
00:24:06,201 --> 00:24:08,900
We don't need the history
of your idea, Doctor.
362
00:24:08,901 --> 00:24:13,700
I'll let that be a surprise when I read
your autobiography. Just tell me the plan.
363
00:24:14,701 --> 00:24:17,100
- We submerge it.
- I'm sorry?
364
00:24:17,101 --> 00:24:21,801
We submerge the city. - I thought you said
we couldn't submerge the city.
365
00:24:21,802 --> 00:24:25,600
That was two years ago before the Ancients came
and activated a number of new systems. See...
366
00:24:25,601 --> 00:24:30,400
- The "how" is complicated, but I think it's possible.
Look, it's not a permanent solution... - but
367
00:24:30,401 --> 00:24:33,800
it'll buy us enough time
'til we come up with one. - Exactly.
368
00:24:33,801 --> 00:24:36,000
- How much time?
- Some. As much as a week.
369
00:24:36,001 --> 00:24:37,700
I don't understand. Why?
370
00:24:37,701 --> 00:24:40,300
Ah, you see, the history part
would have made that a lot clearer.
371
00:24:40,301 --> 00:24:44,400
Had you been a little more patient, I would
have painted you a picture of... - McKay.
372
00:24:45,701 --> 00:24:48,950
Ten thousand years ago when the Ancients
were under siege from the Wraith,
373
00:24:48,951 --> 00:24:53,000
they sank the city in order to dissipate
the Wraiths' energy blasts in the water.
374
00:24:53,001 --> 00:24:57,600
This way, the shield was able to hold far longer
than it ever could on the surface. So, now,
375
00:24:57,601 --> 00:25:02,500
we submerge the city. The water attenuates the
satellite's beam intensity, buys us some more shield time.
376
00:25:02,501 --> 00:25:05,350
We cannot predict how much
the Replicators' beam will be attenuated.
377
00:25:05,351 --> 00:25:08,500
- It might not buy us any time at all.
- There's no way to know for sure, yes,
378
00:25:08,501 --> 00:25:09,800
but it's not a reason not to try.
379
00:25:09,801 --> 00:25:13,300
- Alright, get it done.
- Yeah, I don't think that's your call.
380
00:25:15,301 --> 00:25:18,500
Worst case scenario?
We lose some power from the ZPM?
381
00:25:18,501 --> 00:25:20,800
Oh, no – worst case scenario is that
we've both read the numbers wrong,
382
00:25:20,801 --> 00:25:23,300
we use up a ton of power and
the city doesn't submerge at all.
383
00:25:23,301 --> 00:25:28,000
Look, as much as I hate to say it,
Zelenka's not infallible.
384
00:25:29,501 --> 00:25:33,100
Still, I agree. It's worth the risk.
385
00:25:33,851 --> 00:25:36,900
Alright. The city has an automatic
submersion subroutine already in the system.
386
00:25:36,901 --> 00:25:44,100
I'll need it to tweak it a bit to work with one ZPM
and disable some safety protocols. Give me an hour.
387
00:26:00,300 --> 00:26:01,900
- It's been an hour.
- We're ready.
388
00:26:01,901 --> 00:26:05,700
- No... you've got to do the, um...
- Oh, just, um...
389
00:26:07,201 --> 00:26:11,200
- We are ready.
- Good.
390
00:26:11,201 --> 00:26:13,400
Give me city-wide.
391
00:26:15,601 --> 00:26:20,200
Attention all personnel. We are about
to attempt to submerge the city.
392
00:26:20,201 --> 00:26:23,500
From what I understand,
it could get a little bumpy,
393
00:26:23,501 --> 00:26:29,300
so this is your last chance to secure equipment
and get to the designated safe areas.
394
00:26:29,602 --> 00:26:35,100
- We've come full circle, eh?
- Yeah. Feels that way.
395
00:26:35,801 --> 00:26:39,600
OK. Take us down.
396
00:26:39,601 --> 00:26:43,400
Aye, aye, Captain. Shall we?
397
00:27:45,801 --> 00:27:48,400
That's it. We're down.
398
00:27:48,401 --> 00:27:52,400
- The beam still looks pretty serious, Rodney.
- Yeah, I know. Just give me a second to...
399
00:27:52,401 --> 00:27:54,900
- Crap!
- I told you.
400
00:27:54,901 --> 00:27:57,900
- Thank you, Radek. Very helpful.
- What is it?
401
00:27:58,001 --> 00:28:01,000
The beam is breaking through the water
much more efficiently than we thought.
402
00:28:01,001 --> 00:28:05,100
The water has no effect? - It's having an effect
but just nowhere near what we wanted to. Look,
403
00:28:05,101 --> 00:28:11,200
that plan took us three hours to execute and
bought us an additional... ten hours. - Nine.
404
00:28:11,901 --> 00:28:13,900
Nine.
405
00:28:14,401 --> 00:28:18,500
OK. What's the plan?
406
00:28:20,901 --> 00:28:24,000
That was the plan.
407
00:28:33,601 --> 00:28:36,100
I need to learn some science.
408
00:28:36,101 --> 00:28:38,000
What for?
409
00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:41,700
I'm not all that useful
in situations like these.
410
00:28:41,701 --> 00:28:48,100
If we get into a fight, or we need to break out
of somewhere, you know, kill someone, I'm your man;
411
00:28:48,101 --> 00:28:52,800
but a laser attacking the city's shield,
I don't know where to chip in.
412
00:28:52,801 --> 00:28:58,000
Well, that's why we're a team,
like the Fantastic Four.
413
00:28:59,901 --> 00:29:03,700
It's a comic book where superheroes
fight crime and stuff.
414
00:29:04,701 --> 00:29:08,100
See, I'd be Mr Fantastic;
Ronon would be The Thing;
415
00:29:08,101 --> 00:29:11,900
McKay would be the Human Torch...
you'd be the Invisible Woman.
416
00:29:11,901 --> 00:29:14,100
I am not invisible.
417
00:29:14,801 --> 00:29:20,300
- No. No, and McKay's not a human torch.
- Well, how come you get to be Mr Fantastic?
418
00:29:20,301 --> 00:29:22,700
Because he was the leader and I'm the...
419
00:29:24,801 --> 00:29:32,700
I'm just saying that they were a cool team and we're a
cool team and they use their strengths to, you know...
420
00:29:34,901 --> 00:29:38,000
I'm gonna go check on McKay.
421
00:29:47,501 --> 00:29:49,200
Shouldn't you guys be
bickering or something?
422
00:29:49,201 --> 00:29:52,700
Ah, we've got nothing to bicker about.
He's run out of bad ideas... finally.
423
00:29:52,701 --> 00:29:55,200
If we survive this,
I'm putting in for a transfer.
424
00:29:55,201 --> 00:29:58,100
Oh, please. We both know that
you've done your best work under me.
425
00:29:58,101 --> 00:30:03,000
- Under you?! I'm my own department head, you know.
- Please! We both know that department is a joke.
426
00:30:03,001 --> 00:30:06,300
Why don't you two guys just
make out and get it over with, huh?
427
00:30:06,301 --> 00:30:11,701
I mean, we have, what? Under one day to figure out
how not to get destroyed by this satellite thing,
428
00:30:11,702 --> 00:30:14,500
and you guys are arguing
about who works for who.
429
00:30:14,501 --> 00:30:16,700
Every possible scenario ends in failure.
430
00:30:16,701 --> 00:30:21,700
There is nowhere on the face of
this planet that that thing cannot kill us.
431
00:30:24,701 --> 00:30:26,600
- You don't think...?
- No.
432
00:30:26,601 --> 00:30:27,800
Old girl too banged up?
433
00:30:27,801 --> 00:30:31,100
No, the Replicators fixed all the damage we did
with the drones. We just don't have the power.
434
00:30:31,101 --> 00:30:35,200
- Yeah, but ideally...
- it may be the only way. - What?
435
00:30:35,201 --> 00:30:38,700
The drilling platform. You guys
have it operational down there, right?
436
00:30:38,701 --> 00:30:41,900
- Close enough, but we couldn't bring it with us.
- Bring it where?
437
00:30:41,901 --> 00:30:45,200
- We don't need to. We just need a boost.
- You might be onto something here.
438
00:30:45,201 --> 00:30:47,400
Hey! What's your idea?! Hey!
439
00:30:50,701 --> 00:30:53,400
Well, luckily the
umbilical's already in place.
440
00:30:53,401 --> 00:30:57,300
Yes, I know. Look, are you capable of
outputting the power we need or not?
441
00:30:57,301 --> 00:30:59,150
We just started drilling into the crust.
442
00:30:59,151 --> 00:31:00,900
I can get you nine
percent of the way there.
443
00:31:00,901 --> 00:31:04,100
- There goes that plan.
- Can't the ZPM make up the difference?
444
00:31:04,101 --> 00:31:08,100
Ah, no. The ZPM's a little busy
powering the shield at max.
445
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,500
What if it didn't have to?
446
00:31:11,501 --> 00:31:16,100
What if we could take the strain
off the shield momentarily?
447
00:31:16,101 --> 00:31:19,300
Well, we'd need about a minute.
Why? What do you have in mind?
448
00:31:19,701 --> 00:31:22,200
Lantea's moon has some
sizeable satellites itself.
449
00:31:22,201 --> 00:31:26,000
Asteroid-like chunks we think are left over
from a second moon that no longer exists.
450
00:31:26,001 --> 00:31:31,400
I'd like you to beam up Lorne and get a flight
of F-302s close enough to nudge one our way.
451
00:31:31,401 --> 00:31:35,900
You wanna bring an asteroid
towards us? Is that wise?
452
00:31:35,901 --> 00:31:38,200
Well, today it is.
453
00:31:46,301 --> 00:31:49,800
Alright, guys. We need to get
close enough to clamp on to it.
454
00:31:49,801 --> 00:31:54,400
Get enough of us drilled in, we can
fly it like a ship... a really slow ship.
455
00:31:54,401 --> 00:31:59,000
It's probably gonna be a real pain
in the ass to steer, but a ship nonetheless.
456
00:32:10,701 --> 00:32:14,800
OK, let's take this big gal for a stroll.
457
00:32:14,801 --> 00:32:17,700
Flights Three and Four,
begin your burn. Full thrust.
458
00:32:29,301 --> 00:32:35,300
Son of a bitch! We might be able to pull this off
after all! Flights One and Two, begin your burn.
459
00:32:35,501 --> 00:32:36,600
It's working?
460
00:32:36,601 --> 00:32:39,300
- It's slow going, but, uh, yes,
they're bringing it towards the planet.
461
00:32:39,301 --> 00:32:42,800
They should be able to get
here before our cut-off time.
462
00:32:42,801 --> 00:32:46,800
- So we can actually do this?
- I think so, yes.
463
00:32:48,101 --> 00:32:52,300
OK, time to tell people.
Patch me into the PA, please.
464
00:32:54,601 --> 00:33:01,000
May I have your attention? As you all know,
we have found ourselves in a spot of trouble.
465
00:33:01,001 --> 00:33:04,900
The reality is that no matter where
we try to hide on this planet,
466
00:33:04,901 --> 00:33:08,500
the Replicator satellite
will be able to track us.
467
00:33:08,501 --> 00:33:13,900
Therefore, Doctor McKay and Colonel Sheppard
have come up with a rather ingenious way for us
468
00:33:13,901 --> 00:33:17,900
to escape the satellite's range altogether.
469
00:33:17,901 --> 00:33:24,000
In the next few hours, we will fire
the city's stardrive and head into space.
470
00:33:24,001 --> 00:33:28,700
Atlantis is leaving this planet.
471
00:33:37,001 --> 00:33:39,700
- May I come in?
- Of course.
472
00:33:40,201 --> 00:33:44,850
All non-essential personnel have
been beamed to the Apollo. - Good. Good.
473
00:33:44,851 --> 00:33:47,100
Has Doctor McKay located
your new home yet?
474
00:33:47,301 --> 00:33:49,300
Yes. M12-578.
475
00:33:49,301 --> 00:33:51,700
It's the closest
non-populated habitable planet
476
00:33:51,701 --> 00:33:55,600
with a large ocean. He's a bit nervous
about trying to land on solid ground.
477
00:33:55,601 --> 00:33:58,100
I can understand that.
478
00:34:00,801 --> 00:34:04,800
- Listen, I know you don't like me very much...
- Colonel, that's nei... - That's OK.
479
00:34:04,801 --> 00:34:08,900
To be honest, I'm not that
crazy about you either.
480
00:34:09,851 --> 00:34:11,500
OK!
481
00:34:11,501 --> 00:34:15,900
But if I've crossed the line here
or there in regards to your command,
482
00:34:15,901 --> 00:34:19,700
I apologise. I'm used to making the calls.
483
00:34:19,701 --> 00:34:23,100
But I don't want you to think
I don't respect you. I do, Doctor.
484
00:34:23,101 --> 00:34:30,200
Thank you. I appreciate that. I wish
the rest of the military felt the same way.
485
00:34:30,201 --> 00:34:36,700
Well, I can't speak to that. I do know
General O'Neill is awfully fond of you.
486
00:34:38,601 --> 00:34:40,700
I'd better be heading out.
487
00:34:41,901 --> 00:34:47,500
- Good luck.
- Thanks. We're gonna need it.
488
00:34:54,001 --> 00:34:57,400
Alright. Zelenka is doing a final
pass over all the coding we've done,
489
00:34:57,401 --> 00:34:59,700
but so far it's looking good.
490
00:34:59,701 --> 00:35:03,800
The underwater drilling platform's power output
has been dialled up as high as it'll go,
491
00:35:03,801 --> 00:35:06,600
and the crew down there have
been beamed up to the Apollo.
492
00:35:06,601 --> 00:35:08,100
We're gonna wreck
that thing, aren't we?
493
00:35:08,101 --> 00:35:11,600
What, the drilling platform?
Oh, hell, yes! But
494
00:35:11,601 --> 00:35:16,700
thirty percent of our total power requirements are
gonna be consumed in the first ten seconds of flight.
495
00:35:16,701 --> 00:35:20,400
The station will provide us with that
power right up until we snap the umbilical,
496
00:35:20,401 --> 00:35:23,400
at which point we switch
over to the ZPM. Now,
497
00:35:23,401 --> 00:35:29,000
if we can interrupt the satellite's beam,
which is greatly taxing our power levels
498
00:35:29,001 --> 00:35:33,600
we should be able to squeeze out just
enough power to actually do this thing.
499
00:35:33,601 --> 00:35:38,100
- How's Lorne doin'? - He's making good time.
- He should be here in the next twenty minutes.
500
00:35:39,901 --> 00:35:42,500
Well, I guess it's showtime.
501
00:35:42,501 --> 00:35:46,200
- You sure you can do this?
- Fly the city?
502
00:35:46,201 --> 00:35:48,500
What else could I possibly
be talking about?
503
00:35:48,501 --> 00:35:51,500
I flew a V22 Osprey once.
504
00:35:51,501 --> 00:35:53,100
Was it as big as a city?
505
00:35:53,101 --> 00:35:58,500
Well, you had to use your hands and feet with that one.
This one, you just have to sit down and think... "Fly."
506
00:35:58,501 --> 00:36:02,900
OK, why don't you just get in
the Chair and start your pre-flight?
507
00:36:06,701 --> 00:36:09,100
Oh, I'm gonna head up
to the Control Room,
508
00:36:09,101 --> 00:36:12,300
and Zelenka will monitor
output from the ZPM Room.
509
00:36:12,301 --> 00:36:16,300
And, uh, good luck.
510
00:36:16,301 --> 00:36:18,200
You too.
511
00:36:25,501 --> 00:36:27,400
Doctor McKay,
can you read me?
512
00:36:27,801 --> 00:36:30,000
Five by five.
Lorne, you in position?
513
00:36:30,001 --> 00:36:32,400
We're getting close.
You about ready?
514
00:36:32,401 --> 00:36:34,300
Zelenka, I need a Go or No Go.
515
00:36:34,301 --> 00:36:37,200
We're Go. All non-essential systems
have been shut down. We're in the green.
516
00:36:37,201 --> 00:36:40,300
- Are you ready, Sheppard?
- Ready as I'll ever be.
517
00:36:40,301 --> 00:36:43,200
OK, Major, make sure she's
moving as slow as possible.
518
00:36:43,201 --> 00:36:45,700
Are you sure we shouldn't
just lob this thing at the satellite?
519
00:36:45,701 --> 00:36:49,200
No, they'd easily be able to navigate
back into position. This is still our best bet.
520
00:36:49,201 --> 00:36:50,400
Copy that.
521
00:36:59,301 --> 00:37:06,200
Package is away and on course.
We're heading back to the Apollo. Good luck.
522
00:37:06,601 --> 00:37:11,000
OK, calculating travel time
based on current speed.
523
00:37:11,001 --> 00:37:14,000
That's it. We're good.
524
00:37:15,401 --> 00:37:18,100
Here goes nothing.
525
00:37:45,351 --> 00:37:47,000
Asteroid is entering the beam.
526
00:38:12,601 --> 00:38:15,700
We're on the surface.
Fire the stardrive.
527
00:38:30,300 --> 00:38:34,300
We're not flying high enough.
It's stalling out!
528
00:38:35,301 --> 00:38:36,800
It's not working.
529
00:38:37,001 --> 00:38:38,300
What are you doing wrong?
530
00:38:38,301 --> 00:38:39,150
Sure, blame me.
We don't have enough power.
531
00:38:39,151 --> 00:38:41,100
Sure, blame me.
We don't have enough power.
532
00:38:41,101 --> 00:38:46,100
- Oh, sure, blame me! - It's not working.
- What other reasons could there be?
533
00:38:46,101 --> 00:38:48,100
I have no more power to give you!
534
00:38:48,101 --> 00:38:50,000
- Shut it off.
- What?
535
00:38:50,001 --> 00:38:54,900
- Lower the shield. - We're about to go into space!
- If you plan on breathing, we're gonna need the shield.
536
00:38:55,301 --> 00:38:57,100
Turn it back on at eighteen thousand feet.
We just need the boost to get started, no?
537
00:38:56,901 --> 00:38:59,900
Turn it back on at eighteen thousand feet.
We just need the boost to get started, no?
538
00:38:59,901 --> 00:39:01,101
That might work.
539
00:39:11,001 --> 00:39:13,700
OK, I did it.
Give it all you've got.
540
00:39:30,401 --> 00:39:32,200
That's it!
541
00:39:32,901 --> 00:39:35,200
We're flying!
542
00:39:55,701 --> 00:39:58,400
That's it. Time's up.
Raising the shield.
543
00:40:22,301 --> 00:40:24,700
Taking us into hyperspace.
544
00:40:35,501 --> 00:40:37,500
We did it!
545
00:40:40,401 --> 00:40:42,200
McKay! Elizabeth!
546
00:40:42,201 --> 00:40:47,400
I need a medical team to the
Control Room, stat! Multiple injuries!
547
00:41:03,301 --> 00:41:07,100
Keller, what happened? - Apparently the beam
grazed the tower and blew out the...
548
00:41:07,101 --> 00:41:10,400
Adams, that guy just has a cut. Tell him
to put pressure on it and move on.
549
00:41:10,401 --> 00:41:12,100
There's a lot of people
worse off upstairs.
550
00:41:12,101 --> 00:41:14,600
Elizabeth? Is she gonna be OK?
551
00:41:14,601 --> 00:41:17,000
I don't know yet. She took quite a fall
and her pupils are sluggish.
552
00:41:17,001 --> 00:41:21,400
I'm gonna have to get her
under a scanner. I'll know more in a bit.
553
00:41:27,601 --> 00:41:30,200
Oh, God. Are you alright?
554
00:41:30,201 --> 00:41:33,000
- Yeah, I've had worse.
- How come no-one's helping you?
555
00:41:33,001 --> 00:41:35,300
I told them I didn't need any help.
Other people need more.
556
00:41:35,301 --> 00:41:39,400
- I doubt that. Get this man to the Infirmary.
- Yes, sir.
557
00:41:39,401 --> 00:41:43,000
- You guys alright?
- All things considered.
558
00:41:43,001 --> 00:41:47,200
What happened? - The beam grazed the side
of the tower before the shield was completely closed.
559
00:41:47,201 --> 00:41:49,900
- Damage?
- Minimal, I think.
560
00:41:49,901 --> 00:41:53,800
Look, I was able to get the shield up
fairly quickly. It took the brunt of the blow.
561
00:41:53,801 --> 00:41:56,400
Oh, what now?
562
00:41:56,801 --> 00:41:58,600
What is happening?
563
00:42:00,701 --> 00:42:05,000
- We just dropped out of hyperspace.
- Have we already reached M12-578?
564
00:42:05,001 --> 00:42:07,600
No. There's no way. It should have taken
at least another few hours.
565
00:42:07,601 --> 00:42:09,600
- The hyperdrive just shut down.
- Why?
566
00:42:09,601 --> 00:42:11,100
- I don't know.
- Get it back up.
567
00:42:11,101 --> 00:42:15,400
I just said I don't know what's wrong. I can't get
it back up if I don't know what happened.
568
00:42:15,401 --> 00:42:17,500
- Where are we?
- In the middle of nowhere.
569
00:42:17,501 --> 00:42:20,400
There's no planets,
no moons, no Stargates.
570
00:42:20,401 --> 00:42:23,200
How much power do we have?
571
00:42:24,701 --> 00:42:28,100
- This can't be right.
- How much?
572
00:42:28,101 --> 00:42:31,400
At current consumption, we've got
twenty-four hours of power left.
573
00:42:31,401 --> 00:42:32,400
After that, there's no shield.
574
00:42:32,401 --> 00:42:36,000
No shield, no atmosphere. No atmosphere,
we're... - Can we use the Stargate?
575
00:42:36,001 --> 00:42:39,800
In order to dial a Gate, it needs to
be calibrated to a specific location. We are lost.
576
00:42:39,801 --> 00:42:43,700
Look, we dropped out of hyperspace
way too soon. I have no idea where we are.
