PREVIOUSLY ONSTARGATE ATLANTIS...
MAJOR SHEPPARD.
MAJOR SHEPPARD, WHO ARE ALL THOSE PEOPLE?
I AM TEYLA EMMAGAN, DAUGHTER OF TAGAN.
IF THE WRAITH HAVE NEVER TOUCHED YOUR WORLD, YOU SHOULD GO BACK THERE.
OH, WE'D LIKE TO, BUT WE CAN'T.
I DON'T SEE A LIFE FORM LIKE THIS
EVER DYING OF NATURAL AGING THE WAY WE DO.
YOU'VE TRESPASSED UPON OUR FEEDING GROUND.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.
IT'S MAJOR SHEPPARD'S IDC.
THEY'VE ONLY BEEN GONE A FEW HOURS.
ATLANTIS, THIS IS SHEPPARD. WE'RE COMING IN HOT.
LOWER THE SHIELD.
RAISE THE SHIELD.
McKAY!
MEDICAL TEAM TO THE GATE ROOM.
I GOT A PULSE.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
[ MUMBLING ]: I CAN'T FEEL ANYTHING,
BUT... I CAN'T TALK.
YOU CAN'T TALK EITHER.
THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY.
YOUR BODY EXPERIENCED A FULL OVERLOAD
TO ITS SENSORY AND MOTOR NERVOUS SYSTEM.
WHAT?
YOU TOOK ONE OF THOSE WRAITH STUNNERS RIGHT IN THE FACE.
IT'S REALLY QUITE FASCINATING, ACTUALLY.
THE WRAITH WEAPON IMPEDES THE FIRING OF NEURONS THAT ENABLE--
I'M PARALYZED?
THE PARALYSIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY.
DON'T WORRY, RODNEY.
YOU'LL BE UP AND ABOUT IN NO TIME.
BLOODY GOOD THING THE WRAITH WEAPONS ARE ONLY DESIGNED
TO INCAPACITATE,
OR HE'D BE DEAD.
WHAT?
MAJOR?
COULD I SEE YOU FOR A SECOND?
HELLO?
HE'S GOING TO BE FINE.I'VE HEARD.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED OUT THERE.
THE SAME OLD THING.
WHICH MAKES IT THE FIFTH TIME YOUR TEAM HAS ENCOUNTERED THE WRAITH
OUT OF HOW MANY MISSIONS?
NINE...
SO PROBABLY NOT A COINCIDENCE.
I THINK IT'S PRETTY DAMN OBVIOUS NOW.
WE'VE GOT A SPY IN ATLANTIS.
COULD YOU PLEASE NOT DO THAT HERE?
MY FOOT IS STILL NUMB, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME.
AT LEAST YOUR MOUTH STILL WORKS FINE.
OH, GOOD.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET STARTED.
SHOULDN'T WE WAIT FOR TEYLA?
TEYLA WASN'T INVITED.
SHE'S A MEMBER OF MY TEAM.
SHE'S ALSO AN ATHOSIAN, SIR.
SO? IF WE'VE BEEN COMPROMISED,
AND EVERY INDICATION SUGGESTS THAT WE HAVE,
IT'S ALMOST CERTAIN THAT ONE OF THEM IS RESPONSIBLE.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TEYLA.
I DON'T LIKE IT EITHER, MAJOR...
GOOD, THEN GET HER ON IN HERE.
BUT THE SAFETY OF THIS BASE AND ITS PERSONNEL ARE MY MAIN CONCERN RIGHT NOW,
AS IT SHOULD BE YOURS.
THE WRAITH HAVE SHOWN UP
ON FIVE OF THE LAST NINE PLANETS
YOUR TEAM HAS VISITED, AND GIVEN THE FACT
THAT TWO OF THOSE WORLDS WERE UNPOPULATED,
WE CAN PRETTY MUCH ASSUME THAT THEY'RE BEING ALERTED TO YOUR MISSIONS
BY SOMEONE ON THIS BASE.
IF SOMEONE ON THIS BASE WAS COMMUNICATING WITH THE WRAITH,
THEN WHY HASN'T ATLANTIS BEEN ATTACKED?
GOOD POINT.
MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST STOP USING THE STARGATE INDEFINITELY.
WE CAN'T DO THAT.WHY NOT?
BECAUSE WE NEED ZPMs TO POWER THIS PLACE.
THEY SEEM TO BE RUNNING FINE RIGHT NOW.
OKAY.
WHEN THE WRAITH DO SHOW UP, AND THEY WILL,
HOW DO WE DEFEND OURSELVES?
OR FOR THAT MATTER, HOW DO WE GET BACK TO EARTH?
THIS IS THE ONLY STARGATE IN THE PEGASUS GALAXY THAT CAN EVEN REACH EARTH,
AND IF IT COMES TO THAT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO USE A SELF-DESTRUCT
BEFORE THE WRAITH TAKE THE CITY.
BOTTOM LINE, WE NEED TO USE THE GATE.
THEN WE'VE GOT TO FIND OUT WHO'S RESPONSIBLE A.S.A.P.
I SUGGEST WE START BY CONFINING ALL NON-BASE PERSONNEL
TO THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE COMPLEX.
ARE YOU KIDDING?
THAT'S THE MINIMUM WE SHOULD DO.
IF COLONEL SUMNER WAS STILL HERE--HE'S NOT.
I AM.
YES, SIR.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO START TREATING ANYONE LIKE PRISONERS.
WELL, THAT'S GOOD.
THAT SAID,
STEPS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO SAFEGUARD
THE MORE SENSITIVE AREAS OF THIS FACILITY.
IT'S ONLY REASONABLE.
I RECOMMEND NO-GO ZONES START WITH STARGATE OPERATIONS--
THE LABS, POWER GENERATION, AND THE JUMPER BAY.
I'D LIKE TO MEET WITH EVERY ATHOSIAN ON THIS BASE.
I MEAN, THEY'VE BEEN HERE THREE MONTHS.
I ONLY KNOW A HANDFUL OF THEM BY NAME.
I COULD START SETTING UP INTERVIEWS AS SOON AS WE'RE DONE HERE.
IN THE MEANTIME,
ALL GATE TRAVEL IS SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
I'M SORRY, MA'AM. YOU CAN'T COME UP.
I'M ON MY WAY TO SEE DR. WEIR.
THAT AREA IS OFF-LIMITS.
SINCE WHEN?
I BELIEVE THERE'S BEEN SOME SORT OF MISUNDERSTANDING.
I...
WAS UNAWARE A MEETING HAD BEEN CALLED.
LET'S TAKE A WALK.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
THERE MAY BE A SECURITY LEAK ON ATLANTIS.
ARE YOU CERTAIN?
WELL, NOT "CERTAIN" CERTAIN, BUT PRETTY... CERTAIN.
IT MEANS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE TEMPORARY PRECAUTIONS.
SUCH AS...
WELL, LIKE, UH...
SUSPENDING GATE TRAVEL, TIGHTENING SECURITY...
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR PEOPLE A LITTLE BETTER.
YOU SUSPECT AN ATHOSIAN?
DR. WEIR WANTS TO MEET THEM, THAT'S ALL.
IT'S NOT PERSONAL.
WELL... WELL, I MEAN, IT IS,
IN THE SENSE THAT SHE WANTS TO MEET THEM ALL PERSONALLY--
YOU'RE AWARE OF THE HORRORS GENERATIONS OF MY PEOPLE HAVE FACED
AT THE HANDS OF THE WRAITH,
AND YET YOU WOULD STILL QUESTION THEIR LOYALTY?
COME ON, TEYLA, THAT'S NOT FAIR.
YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE RUNNING AROUND ATLANTIS THAT SHE'S NEVER EVEN MET.
I KNOW EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM.
I WOULD STAKE MY LIFE ON THEIR INNOCENCE.
OKAY.
WELL, PERHAPS YOU'VE NOTICED,
BUT EVERY TIME WE STEP THROUGH THE STARGATE,
BAD GUYS TRY TO KILL US,
AND I'M GETTING A LITTLE TIRED OF IT. HOW ABOUT YOU?
THAT DOES NOT MEAN--
LOOK, ALL WE'RE ASKING FOR IS A LITTLE COOPERATION,
THAT'S ALL.
YOU SHALL HAVE IT.
HALLING...
HOW'S JINTO?
WELL ENOUGH FOR A BOY CONFINED TO HIS LIVING QUARTERS.
I'M SORRY.
IT'S TEMPORARY, BUT IT IS A NECESSARY PRECAUTION.
SO I'VE HEARD.
THEN I ASSUME YOU KNOW WHY
WE'VE ARRANGED THESE MEETINGS.
FOR THE SAME REASON MY PEOPLE CAN NO LONGER GO OFF-WORLD
OR ENTER PARTS OF THE CITY.
YOU NO LONGER TRUST US.THE TRUTH, HALLING...
WE DON'T KNOW WHO TO TRUST.
INFORMATION REGARDING SOME OFF-WORLD EXCURSIONS
HAS OBVIOUSLY FOUND ITS WAY TO THE WRAITH.
OBVIOUSLY?
THEY CAN'T BE LYING IN WAIT IN EVERY CORNER OF THIS GALAXY.
THEY'RE TRACKING OUR MOVEMENTS,
AND WE NEED TO FIND OUT HOW.
YOUR HELP WITH THIS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
THEN BY ALL MEANS, HOW CAN I BE OF ASSISTANCE?
THANK YOU.
SINCE YOU'VE BEEN HERE ON ATLANTIS,
YOU'VE BEEN OFF-WORLD THREE TIMES?
YES. I'VE BEEN ACTING AS A GUIDE ON BEHALF
OF SERGEANT STACKHOUSE'S RECONNAISSANCE TEAM,
HELPING TO ESTABLISH RELATIONS BETWEEN YOUR PEOPLE
AND SOME OF OUR FORMER TRADING PARTNERS.
STACKHOUSE REPORTED HE LOST TRACK OF YOU ON A COUPLE OF THESE OUTINGS.
I DID TAKE THE TIME TO VISIT SOME CLOSE FRIENDS.
INTERESTING.
TWO OF YOUR THREE "VISITS"
PREDATED WRAITH ATTACKS BY APPROXIMATELY A DAY.
SERGEANT--WHAT ARE YOU SUGGESTING?
I'M NOT SUGGESTING ANYTHING.
YOU THINK I WOULD BETRAY MY OWN PEOPLE?
JEOPARDIZE THE LIFE OF MY SON?
NO ONE IS MAKING ACCUSATIONS.
I DISAGREE.
YOU'VE ALREADY LEAPT TO THE CONCLUSION THAT AN ATHOSIAN IS RESPONSIBLE.
BECAUSE IT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE ONE OF OUR OWN PEOPLE.
NO?
WE JUST NEED TO CLARIFY A FEW THINGS.
THEN ALLOW ME.
I LOST MY CLOSEST FRIEND IN THE WRAITH ATTACK
THAT FORCED US FROM OUR HOMEWORLD.
SELANA, THE WOMAN YOU SPOKE TO BEFORE ME, LOST BOTH HER PARENTS.
IN FACT, YOU'LL BE HARD-PRESSED TO FIND AN ATHOSIAN
WHO HAS NOT EXPERIENCED LOSS AT THE HANDS OF THE WRAITH.
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE YOU ACCUSE.
WE ARE NOT ACCUSING ANYONE.
AND I CAME HERE EXPECTING AN INTERVIEW...
NOT AN INTERROGATION.
I MEAN, I DON'T THINK IT'S TOO MUCH TO ASK.
WHAT IS IT?
NOTHING, NOTHING.
I JUST CANNOT BEAR THE SAME MEAL
DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY.
WELL, BUCK UP A LITTLE.
I'M TRYING TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC.
SORRY.
I MEAN, WE ARE STRANDED WITH LIMITED RESOURCES IN ANOTHER GALAXY.
I MEAN, COME ON, THE NEAREST BOB'S BIG BOY
IS 300 MILLION LIGHT YEARS AWAY.
WE HAVE TO MAKE DO.
IF THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO EAT MY FAVORITE FOOD TWO DAYS IN A ROW, SO BE IT.
YOU ENJOY MILITARY RATIONS?
I KNOW, IT'S WEIRD. HOSPITAL FOOD TOO.
THE ONLY REASON I DON'T LIKE AIRPLANE FOOD
IS YOU CAN'T GET SECONDS, AND I'M AN ABSOLUTE--
[ BEEPS ]HELLO.
WHAT IS IT?
A COMMAND SUBROUTINE I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
WHAT IS ITS FUNCTION?
I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE I'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE.
OKAY, I'M GOING TO CROSS-REFERENCE THIS
WITH THE ANCIENT DATABASE UP IN THE CONTROL ROOM.
I'M JUST GOING TO GRAB THE...
[ WHIRRING ]
WHAT DID YOU TOUCH?NOTHING, NOTHING.
YOU WERE JUST--NO, NO, NO--
[ WHIRRING ]
I HAD NO IDEA THE ROOF COULD DO THAT.
NEITHER DID I.
THE GATE ROOM AND SURROUNDING SECTIONS HAVE BEEN CLOSED TO US.
AND WE MAY NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS
TO THE MEDICAL FACILITY WITHOUT ESCORT.
WE'RE UNDER CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE, OUR MOVEMENTS RESTRICTED.
HOW LONG MUST WE PUT UP WITH THIS?
IT'S ALREADY BEEN TOO LONG.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS DISCUSSION.
AS WE WOULD HAVE EXPECTED YOU TO TAKE A STAND IN OUR DEFENSE.
THEY HAVE TAKEN ACTION TO PROTECT EVERYONE ON THIS BASE.
THAT INCLUDES EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.
THE PRESENCE OF A WRAITH COLLABORATOR THREATENS US ALL.
THEN YOU SUPPORT DR. WEIR'S DECISION TO CONFINE US?
HALLING, WE ARE THEIR GUESTS.
WE'VE BECOME MORE LIKE THEIR PRISONERS,
BUT UNLIKE PRISONERS,
WE CAN CHOOSE TO LEAVE.
WHERE WOULD YOU GO?
DO YOU NOT MEAN TO SAY, "WHERE WOULD WEGO"?
WE HAVE FRIENDS ON OTHER WORLDS WHO WOULD GLADLY TAKE US IN.
FOR HOW LONG?
GOOD TRADING PARTNERS DO NOT NECESSARILY MAKE GOOD HOSTS.
THERE ARE MANY WORLDS AMONG THE STARS.
THE WRAITH HAVE AWAKENED. NO WORLD IS SAFE.
NOR IS IT SAFE TO REMAIN.
THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS UNTIL THEY FIND SOMEONE TO BLAME.
YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART THAT NONE OF OUR PEOPLE COULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.
OF COURSE.
THEN WE HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.
YOU TRUST DR. WEIR THAT MUCH?
I DO.
MORE THAN YOU WOULD TRUST YOUR OWN PEOPLE?
NO.
I UNDERSTAND HER RESPONSIBILITY.
HALLING, WE HAVE MET WITH THE WRAITH OFF-WORLD
SO OFTEN AND SO QUICKLY,
THERE MUST BE A REASON BEYOND COINCIDENCE.
GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO FIND IT.
I DO NOT APPROVE OF SOME OF THEIR MEASURES,
BUT I DO KNOW THAT IN THE END, THEY WILL HELP TO PROVE OUR INNOCENCE.
ATLANTIS IS FAR MORE THAN SHELTER. IT IS HOPE,
NOT ONLY FOR OUR PEOPLE, BUT FOR EVERYONE WHO WOULD STAND AGAINST THE WRAITH.
WE MUST NOT ABANDON THAT HOPE.
YOU KNOW, THEY MAY RESIDE HERE, TEYLA,
BUT THEY'RE NOT THE ANCESTORS,
NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU WISH THEM TO BE.
SIR.
FORD.
I HEARD THEY GOT THE SUNROOF OPEN ON THE JUMPER BAY.
YEAH.
I ALSO HEARD YOU'RE PLANNING TO TAKE A JUMPER OUT.
I FIGURE THAT'S WHAT THE DOOR IN THE ROOF IS FOR.
ANYONE ELSE CALL SHOTGUN?
I WAS JUST GOING TO DRIVE AROUND THE PLANET, CHECK IT OUT...
OH, YOU'RE JUST CHECKING OUT THE PLANET?
NEVER MIND, THEN. THAT'S COOL.
I MEAN, I'VE GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO
THAN CRUISE AROUND A PLANET IN A SPACE SHIP.
YOU'RE LIKE A KID, YOU KNOW THAT?
YES, SIR.
I BROUGHT ALONG SOMETHING TO EAT ON THE RIDE.
WHAT'S THAT?
HOW ABOUT A NICE TURKEY SANDWICH?
LET'S GO.
SEND IN WHOEVER'S NEXT, PLEASE.
TEYLA...
I WASN'T EXPECTING YOU.
I WAS SURPRISED TO BE LEFT OFF YOUR LIST.
I DIDN'T FEEL IT WAS NECESSARY IN YOUR CASE.
ON THE CONTRARY.
YOU SHOULD HAVE SPOKEN TO ME FIRST.
YOU'RE RIGHT. I SHOULD HAVE.
yI CAN TELL YOU ANYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MY PEOPLE.
IS IT POSSIBLE YOU DON'T KNOW THEM ALL AS WELL AS YOU THINK?
I EMPATHIZE WITH YOU, DR. WEIR.
AS LEADERS, WE ARE OFTEN FORCED
TO MAKE DIFFICULT DECISIONS
IN THE INTERESTS OF THOSE WE SERVE,
BUT MANY OF MY FELLOW ATHOSIANS ARE NOT SO UNDERSTANDING.
I KNOW,
BUT THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT THAT NOW.
PEOPLE CAN SUSPECT MY MOTIVES FOR THESE MEETINGS ALL THEY WANT,
BUT YOU AND I NEED TO AGREE THAT WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
I HAVE TO DO WHATEVER I CAN
TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT, AND RIGHT NOW, THAT MEANS SITTING DOWN
AND TALKING WITH EVERY SINGLE PERSON HERE.
YOU SHOULD KNOW THERE IS TALK OF LEAVING ATLANTIS.
I HOPE IT DOESN'T COME TO THAT.
NOT ALL CHANGE IS FOR THE WORSE.
FLIGHT, THIS IS JUMPER THREE.
WE'RE GO FOR BAY LAUNCH.
JUMPER THREE, YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.
YES, WE ARE.
IT'S STRANGE NOT PULLING ANY Gs.
YEAH.
I KIND OF MISS IT,
ALTHOUGH AT THIS RATE OF ACCELERATION, WE'D BE DEAD BY NOW.
YEAH?OH, YEAH.
WITHOUT INERTIAL DAMPENING, WE'D BE HIT BY SO MANY Gs, OUR EYES WOULD POP,
THE SKIN WOULD PULL AWAY FROM OUR FACES,
OUR BRAINS WOULD SQUISH UP TO THE BACK OF OUR SKULLS,
AND OUR INTERNAL ORGANS
WOULD BE CRUSHED INTO THESE CHAIRS.
WHAT ABOUT THAT SANDWICH?
FLIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOW ORBIT AROUND THE PLANET.
WE'LL ADVISE WHEN WE'RE BACK IN RADIO RANGE.
COPY THAT, JUMPER THREE.
GOOD LUCK.
YOU KNOW, WE STILL HAVEN'T NAMED THE PLANET YET.
I'M SURE THE ANCIENTS HAVE A NAME FOR IT.
HOW ABOUT "ATLANTICA" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
I THOUGHT WE AGREED YOU WEREN'T GOING TO NAME ANYTHING ANYMORE.
SIR.
IS THAT... LAND?
YES.
IT IS.
I WONDER HOW BIG IT IS.
BIG.
REALLY BIG.
IT'S HUGE.
DEFINE "HUGE."
15 MILLION SQUARE MILES.
WELL, GIVE OR TAKE.
THAT WOULD MAKE IT APPROXIMATELY THE SIZE OF, UH...
I HAVE NO IDEA, BUT IT SOUNDS HUGE.
HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE US TO GET THERE?
25 MINUTES BY JUMPER, GROUND TO GROUND.
I SAW SOME SWEET BREAKERS ON THE SOUTH TIP.
THERE MAY BE SURFING IN OUR FUTURE.
WE SHOULD SEND A TEAM TO GO GET SOIL AND WATER SAMPLES.
HE'S RIGHT. IF THE LAND'S ARABLE,
IT COULD SOLVE A LOT OF OUR FOOD PRODUCTION PROBLEMS.
ACTUALLY, I WAS THINKING OF SOMETHING ELSE.
NOT SURFING?NO, SIR.
WE CAN'T RESUME OFF-WORLD MISSIONS
AS LONG AS THE ATHOSIANS REMAIN IN THE CITY.
SO YOU WANT TO DUMP THEM ON THE MAINLAND?
IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE SENDING THEM OUT THERE TO DIE, MAJOR.
WELL, HOW THE HELL WOULD YOU KNOW?
IT LOOKED PRETTY WILD DOWN THERE.
A SECOND AGO, WE WERE GOING SURFING.
WELL, THAT WAS AFTER WE CHECK FOR MONSTERS AND BUGS
AND OTHER SPACE-RELATED THINGS.
I CAN'T IMAGINE IT WOULD BE ANY WORSE THAN THEIR ORIGINAL HOMEWORLD.
THAT COULD JUST BE FAILURE OF IMAGINATION ON YOUR PART.
IN ANY CASE, A SURVEY WOULD TELL US WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW.
YOU'RE NOT SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT THIS.
WE'RE THE REASON THEY HAD TO LEAVE THEIR PLANET IN THE FIRST PLACE.
THIS IS A COMPLICATED SITUATION, MAJOR.
WELL, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
IT MEANS I'M NOT ABOUT TO RULE ANYTHING OUT AT THIS POINT.
DR. WEIR...
IS IT TRUE YOU'VE DISCOVERED LAND ON THIS WORLD?
YES, IT IS.
THEN MY PEOPLE WISH TO TAKE OUR LEAVE TO EXPLORE IT.
YOU WOULD?
WE'RE NO LONGER WELCOME HERE.
THAT'S NOT THE CASE.AND IT WILL MAKE US USEFUL
AS LONG AS WE HAVE NO ACCESS TO THE GATE.
WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF IT'S SAFE.
WE CAN DETERMINE THAT...
FOR BOTH OUR PEOPLE.
I DON'T GET IT.
UP UNTIL NOW, YOU'VE BEEN INSISTING ON ACCESS TO THE STARGATE,
AND NOW YOU'RE PROPOSING TO DELIBERATELY CUT YOURSELF OFF FROM IT?
WE CANNOT LEAVE...
AND WE CANNOT STAY.
THE MAINLAND PRESENTS US WITH A THIRD OPTION.
I SEE.
YOU SAID YOURSELF THIS WAS A TEMPORARY MEASURE.
YES, OF COURSE.YOU HAVE THE MEANS TO ASSURE US PASSAGE
BETWEEN ATLANTIS AND THE MAINLAND
WHEN YOU DECIDE TO RESUME USE OF THE GATE.
AND IF WE RESUME OUR MISSIONS THROUGH THE STARGATE
AND STOP ENCOUNTERING THE WRAITH AT EVERY TURN...
IT WILL ONLY PROVE THAT THERE IS A SPY AMONG THE ATHOSIANS.
AND WHEN YOU CONTINUE TO ENCOUNTER THE WRAITH AT EVERY TURN,
IT WILL ONLY PROVE OUR INNOCENCE.
HAVE YOU DISCUSSED THIS WITH TEYLA?
TEYLA HAS MADE HER DECISION.
[ DOOR OPENS ]
I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE NOT COMING WITH US.
DR. WEIR HAS ARRANGED FOR COMMUNICATIONS
BETWEEN ATLANTIS AND THE MAINLAND
SHOULD YOU EVER NEED ASSISTANCE.
THANK HER FOR US.
I HOPE...
I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO BELIEVE THAT I'M--
TEYLA...
THE TIME HAS COME.
GO SAFELY.
AND YOU.
I'VE NEVER BEEN SEPARATED FROM MY PEOPLE BEFORE.
IT MUST BE HARD,
BUT YOU KNOW YOU'LL SEE THEM AGAIN.
DO YOU DOUBT THAT YOU WILL ONE DAY RETURN TO EARTH?
I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE DOUBTS.
YOU MEAN YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LET THEM SHOW.
YOU'RE STILL A LEADER, TEYLA.
YOU'RE DOING THIS FOR YOUR PEOPLE AND FOR THEIR FUTURE.
THEY KNOW THAT.
ANXIOUS TO STEP THROUGH THE GATE AGAIN, MAJOR?
YES, I AM.WE ALL ARE.
WOULD YOU LIKE US TO BRING YOU BACK ANYTHING SPECIAL?
NO, THANKS.GROCERIES? A NEW OUTFIT?
FLATWARE?HMM. NO.
JUST YOURSELVES IN ONE PIECE, PLEASE.
DIAL IT UP.
[ GATE POWERING UP ]
BE SAFE.
WELL? GOOD STUFF?
I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW FASCINATING THIS IS.
ANTHROPOLOGIST FASCINATING OR ACTUAL FASCINATING?
YEAH, WELL, MAYBE "FASCINATING" ISN'T THE RIGHT WORD.
MAYBE NOT.
HOW MUCH LONGER?
REALISTICALLY,
WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO NEED TO COME BACK. THERE'S JUST SO MUCH HERE.
OH, I CAN SEE THAT.
IS THERE ANY WAY TO SPEED THINGS UP?
WELL, SURE.
FIND ME SOMEONE WHO CAN TRANSLATE SOME OF THESE RUNES.
DID YOU SAY THERE WERE NATIVES HERE?
THEY'RE A VERY SHY PEOPLE.
THEY PROBABLY WENT INTO HIDING THE MOMENT WE CAME THROUGH THE GATE.
IS THERE ANY WAY YOU CAN COAX THEM OUT, HAVE THEM GIVE US A HAND?
IT IS UNLIKELY, BUT I COULD TRY.
LIEUTENANT, GO WITH HER.
IT WOULD BE BETTER IF I WENT ALONE.
YOU WILL BE ALONE...
WITH LIEUTENANT FORD.
ILLA!
ILLA A-NA-VE!
ILLA!
ILLA A-NA-VE!
MAYBE THEY'RE NOT AROUND.
THEY ARE NEAR,
BUT YOU ARE A STRANGER TO THEM.
THEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF HIDING SO LONG AS YOU ARE WITH ME.
THEY ARE NOT A DANGEROUS PEOPLE, LIEUTENANT.
I WILL BE FINE.
ALL RIGHT. I'LL WAIT HERE.
ILLA.
CALL ME ON THE RADIO IF YOU NEED ME.
[ WHOOSHING ]
WRAITH! GET BACK TO THE GATE NOW!
[ GUNFIRE ]
TEYLA!
MAJOR, WHAT'S THE SITUATION?
LIEUTENANT, WE'RE TAKING FIRE.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CIRCLE AROUND TO GET BACK TO THE GATE.
TEYLA'S NOT WITH ME. SHE WENT AHEAD TO--
FIND HER AND GET YOURSELVES BACK.
MOVE OUT!
YAMATO, McKAY, GRAB THE MAJOR.
WHAT ABOUT TEYLA AND FORD?NOW!
SHUT IT DOWN. THEY'RE RIGHT BEHIND US.
OKAY, ON THREE.
ONE, TWO, THREE.
WE HAVE TO GO BACK.
TEYLA, LIEUTENANT FORD? THEY'RE STILL ON THE PLANET.
WE HAVE TO GO BACK NOW.
I'D ADVISE AGAINST IT. YOU HAVE WRAITH--
WE CAN'T JUST LEAVE THEM THERE.
HOW MANY?
IT'S HARD TO SAY. MOST OF THEM WERE BEHIND THE TREE LINE.
WE'RE WASTING TIME HERE. WE NEED TO MOUNT A RESCUE OPERATION.
I AM NOT GOING TO SEND ANYONE THROUGH THAT GATE
UNTIL I HAVE ALL THE FACTS, DOCTOR.
HOW DID TEYLA AND LIEUTENANT FORD
GET SEPARATED FROM YOU?
THEY WENT TO CHECK OUT THE AREA, TRY TO MAKE CONTACT
WITH SOME OF THE NATIVES.AND WHOSE IDEA WAS THAT?
MINE.
SHE WAS FOLLOWING MY ORDERS.
SHOULDN'T YOU BE BACK IN THE INFIRMARY?
NO, I'M FINE.
I DIDN'T TAKE A FULL BLAST.
WHY DIDN'T YOU GO WITH THEM, MAJOR?
WELL, THE NATIVES OF THAT PLANET ARE EASILY SPOOKED.
TEYLA THOUGHT WE'D SCARED THEM OFF WITH A BIG GROUP.
TEYLA DID.
WHAT'S THAT, SERGEANT?SHE WAS CONVENIENTLY ABSENT DURING THE AMBUSH.
SO WAS FORD! MAYBE IT WAS HIM.
I'M JUST STATING A FACT, SIR.
SERGEANT...
I AM ONLY GOING TO SAY THIS ONCE--
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, MAJOR,
YOU CAN REPRIMAND ME IF YOU WISH,
BUT IT'S BEEN SIX TIMES
YOUR TEAM'S BEEN COMPROMISED.
ONLY ONE ATHOSIAN KNEW ABOUT THIS LAST MISSION.
[ GATE POWERING UP ]
WE HAVE AN UNSCHEDULED OFF-WORLD ACTIVATION.
IT'S TEYLA'S IDC.
RECEIVING A RADIO TRANSMISSION.
THIS IS TEYLA.
LIEUTENANT FORD HAS BEEN WOUNDED.
THE WRAITH ARE CLOSING IN ON OUR POSITION.
YOU PUT DOWN THAT SHIELD,
AND WE COULD BE OPENING THIS BASE UP TO A WRAITH ATTACK.
ATLANTIS, PLEASE, LET US THROUGH.
LIEUTENANT FORD, CAN YOU CONFIRM THE SITUATION?
[ TEYLA ]: HE IS UNCONSCIOUS.
OUR SITUATION GROWS DESPERATE.
SOON WE WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GO THROUGH THE STARGATE.
WE DROP THAT SHIELD, AND WHO KNOWS WHAT SHE'LL BRING
THROUGH THAT GATE WITH HER.
OPEN UP THE DAMN GATE!
LOWER THE SHIELD.
IF SHE WERE HELPING THE WRAITH, WHY BOTHER BRINGING FORD BACK?
IN FACT, WHY BOTHER COMING BACK AT ALL?
SHE'S OF MORE USE TO THEM HERE IN ATLANTIS.
AS FOR APPARENTLY RESCUING LIEUTENANT FORD--
SHE CARRIED HIM THROUGH THE DAMN GATE.
WHAT'S "APPARENT" ABOUT THAT?
HE'S UNCONSCIOUS, SIR. WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
OH, THAT'S ENOUGH.
IT'S MY JOB TO EXPRESS SECURITY CONCERNS, SIR.
I'VE HEARD ENOUGH OF YOUR CONCERNS.
AGAIN, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, MAJOR,
I BELIEVE YOU'RE PUTTING YOUR PERSONAL FEELINGS--
YOU'RE DISMISSED.
YES, SIR.
WHAT?
I'M THE ONE WHO PUT HIM IN CHARGE OF SECURITY.
YES, YOU DID,
AND IF YOU WANT TO DISMISS ME, GO AHEAD.
WHY DON'T YOU GO AND SEE HOW LIEUTENANT FORD IS DOING?
YOU WANT ME TO GO THROUGH HER STUFF?
WE'RE LOOKING FOR WEAPONS, TRANSMITTERS, RECORDING DEVICES,
ANYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S BEYOND
THE ATHOSIANS' LEVEL OF TECHNOLOGY.
AND IF I DON'T FIND ANYTHING, DO WE MOVE ON TO A STRIP SEARCH?
JUST DO IT.
[ SIGHS ]
WE WERE ON OUR WAY BACK WHEN WE CAME UNDER FIRE.
DIDN'T EVEN SEE THEM.
WE RETURNED FIRE, THEN BROKE FOR THE GATE.
I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND.
SHE SAVED MY ASS BACK THERE, MAJOR.
OF COURSE SHE DID.MAJOR, I--
OH, FORD, HOW ARE YOU FEELING? PINS AND NEEDLES ALL OVER?
OH, YEAH, WELCOME TO THE CLUB.
NO, SIR, I MANAGED TO DIVE
OUT OF THE WAY OF THE STUNNER BLAST.
I MUST'VE HIT MY HEAD ON THE WAY DOWN.
HIT YOUR HEAD?
MAJOR, I NEED YOU TO SEE SOMETHING.
I'LL BE FINE.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
I KNOW HOW IT LOOKS. SPECIAL REQUEST FROM SERGEANT BATES.
I'M GOING TO BUST THAT SON OF A BITCH.MAJOR--
TEYLA HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.
THE THING IS, HE WAS RIGHT.
BATES WAS RIGHT?
I KNOW. I WAS AS SURPRISED AS YOU ARE.
LOOK AT THIS.
IT'S HER LOCKET.IT'S A TRANSMITTER.
IT'S BEEN BROADCASTING A CONTINUOUS SIGNAL.
I WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE NOTICED IF I HADN'T BEEN LOOKING FOR IT SPECIFICALLY.
I FOUND IT.
WHAT?
BACK ON HER PLANET, THE FIRST TIME WE MET,
TEYLA TOOK ME TO THE OLD RUINS.
THAT WAS HALF-BURIED IN DIRT. I GAVE IT TO HER.
I LOST THIS YEARS AGO.
THE LOCKET ISN'T POWERFUL ENOUGH TO SEND A SIGNAL VERY FAR,
CERTAINLY NOT THROUGH SUBSPACE.
NOW, MY GUESS IS THAT THERE ARE PROBABLY RELAY DEVICES
ON CERTAIN PLANETS THAT PICK UP THE TRANSMISSION
AND THEN ALERT THE NEAREST HIVE SHIP.
THOSE WERE THE PLANETS WHERE WE WERE ATTACKED.
BOY, DO WE OWE A FEW PEOPLE AN APOLOGY.
TEYLA HAD NO IDEA SHE WAS GIVING AWAY YOUR POSITION?
SHE SAID IT WAS A PRESENT FROM HER FATHER.
SHE LOST IT WHEN SHE WAS A KID.
IT WAS PROBABLY DORMANT UNTIL MAJOR SHEPPARD PICKED IT UP,
ACTIVATING IT.
IF SHE WORE IT AS A KID, HOW COME THEY WEREN'T ATTACKED BACK THEN?
DIDN'T I JUST SAY IT WAS DORMANT?
BUT IF IT WAS ACTIVATED BY TOUCH...
YOU'RE NOT LISTENING. I SAID MAJOR SHEPPARD ACTIVATED IT.
AS FAR AS THE WRAITH ARE CONCERNED,
TEYLA'S JUST ANOTHER HUMAN BEING.
THEY'D HAVE NO SPECIAL INTEREST IN TRACKING HER.
NOW, MAJOR SHEPPARD, ON THE OTHER HAND... HAS THE ANCIENT GENE.
EXACTLY.
NOW, AT ONE POINT, THE WRAITHS AND THE ANCIENTS
WERE AT WAR.
THE WRAITH CREATED A TRANSMISSION DEVICE
TO DETECT ANCIENTS.
SO SOME ATHOSIAN THOUGHT THIS WOULD MAKE A NICE LITTLE NECKLACE?
HOW COULD I POSSIBLY KNOW THAT? WHAT AM I, ANSWER MAN?
THE POINT IS--IT WASN'T TEYLA,
OR ANY OTHER ATHOSIAN, FOR THAT MATTER.
IF THAT'S THE CASE...
WE CAN USE IT AGAINST THEM.
YOU SEEM NERVOUS.
NO, I'M A PART OF THIS TEAM. I'M DOING THIS.YES, YOU ARE.
I JUST SAID YOU SEEMED NERVOUS.
OH, REALLY? I THOUGHT YOU SAID, "RODNEY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS."
YES, YOU DO.
DAMN RIGHT I'M DOING THIS,
DESPITE THE FACT THAT FEELING HASN'T COMPLETELY RETURNED TO MY EXTREMITIES.
YOU'RE LATE.
SORRY.
NOW, GIVEN THE WRAITH'S REGENERATIVE ABILITIES,
KILLING ONE REQUIRES SOME AMOUNT OF EFFORT.
CAPTURING ONE LIVE IS GOING TO BE A WHOLE OTHER DEAL.
FOR ANY OF THESE OPTIONS TO WORK,
YOUR WRAITH HAS TO BE ON THE GROUND.
THE LAST PLANET WE VISITED WAS INACCESSIBLE BY SHIP,
AND THE RUINS AROUND THE STARGATE
SHOULD FORCE THE WRAITH TO COME THROUGH ON FOOT.
IN WHICH CASE...
YOU'LL BE ABLE TO USE THESE.
THIS IS A STUN GRENADE.
IT'S FILLED WITH A MIXTURE OF ALUMINUM AND POTASSIUM PERCHLORATE
THAT, WHEN IGNITED, PRODUCES A HIGH-PRESSURE WAVE
THAT WILL OVERWHELM THE INTENDED TARGET WITH INTENSE LIGHT AND SOUND.
IF THAT DOESN'T GET HIS HEAD RINGING,
IN ADDITION...
YOU'VE GOT YOUR TASER.
WITH A RANGE OF BETWEEN 15 TO 20 FEET,
IT DELIVERS A HIGH-VOLTAGE, LOW-AMPERAGE CHARGE
THAT MIMICS THE BODY'S ELECTRICAL SIGNALS,
TEMPORARILY PARALYZING THE VICTIM.
MAJOR, THIS IS FORD.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT, LIEUTENANT?
WE'VE GOT COMPANY.
FOUR OF THEM.
ALL RIGHT, THEN WE GO AS PLANNED.
YES, SIR.
YOU STILL SEEM NERVOUS.
NO, IT'S GOOD, IT'S GOOD. I'M ALL GOOD.
ALL GOOD.
TEYLA...
THIS ONE'S OURS, BOYS.
TASERS.
[ GRUNTING ]
[ GUNFIRE ]
IT'S A SELF-DESTRUCT.
TAKE COVER!
MAJOR!
DR. McKAY!
YOU OKAY?
I'M FINE. THIS IS... THIS IS FUN FOR ME.
EASY. DON'T GO BLOWING YOURSELF UP.
[ WHEEZING ]
TEYLA. EXCUSE ME.
I WAS HOPING TO CATCH YOU BEFORE YOU HEADED BACK TO THE MAINLAND.
I HEAR THEY'RE DOING WELL.
VERY WELL.
ACCORDING TO HALLING, THEY'RE BUSILY PLANTING CROPS
FOR THE NEXT HARVEST.
I'M GLAD TO HEAR IT.
I WILL TELL THEM WHAT HAS HAPPENED.
HOPEFULLY, IN TIME, WE WILL ALL BE ABLE
TO PUT THE EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK BEHIND US.
YES.
I AM AWARE THAT THE LAST FEW DAYS
HAVE BEEN PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT FOR YOU.
I BELIEVE, DR. WEIR, THAT IN YOUR PLACE,
I WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME.
THANK YOU.
AGAIN?
YOUR KIND IS PERSISTENT.
I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT YOU'D'VE GIVEN UP BY NOW.
WELL, HELL,
I'VE GOT ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD.
NOW, YOU, ON THE OTHER HAND...
[ ELECTRICITY CRACKLES ]
THE ANCIENTS WERE PRETTY GOOD AT SHIELDS AND STUFF LIKE THAT,
WEREN'T THEY?[ GRUNTS ]
I GIVE YOU A WEEK, MAYBE TWO, TOPS.
YOU WASTE YOUR TIME.
I WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH NO INFORMATION.
I WONDER WHAT HURTS MORE, THE GUNSHOT WOUND OR THE HUNGER,
BECAUSE I'D LOVE TO HELP OUT,
BUT HOW DID McKAY PUT IT?
"WE CAN'T MEET YOUR DIETARY REQUIREMENTS."
WHEN I'M FREE,
YOU'LL BE THE FIRST THAT I FEED UPON.
OKEY-DOKEY.
I'M GOING TO GO MAKE MYSELF A SANDWICH.
HUMAN.
YOU THINK YOU'VE WON A VICTORY BY MY CAPTURE,
BUT BY BRINGING ME HERE, YOU'VE ONLY HASTENED YOUR OWN DOOM.
IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
BEFORE THE OTHERS OF MY KIND COME TO RESCUE ME,
AND WHEN THEY DO,
THERE WILL BE NOWHERE IN THIS WORLD YOU CAN HIDE.
STAY POSITIVE, NOW.
