00:00:02,795 --> 00:00:04,714
Narrator: Previously,
on Stargate Atlantis.

2
00:00:04,797 --> 00:00:06,757
Hello, Michael.
Do you remember me?

3
00:00:06,841 --> 00:00:08,342
I don't even know who I am.

4
00:00:08,426 --> 00:00:10,178
I get the feeling like
they know something,

5
00:00:10,261 --> 00:00:11,679
something
they're not telling me.

6
00:00:11,762 --> 00:00:13,764
He's not human!

7
00:00:13,931 --> 00:00:15,516
(Screa ming)

8
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,143
I'm a wraith!

9
00:00:18,186 --> 00:00:19,896
I'm returning to what I was.

10
00:00:19,979 --> 00:00:21,439
There are wraith nearby.

11
00:00:21,731 --> 00:00:23,584
Mcka y: Not only has our dear
lieutenant rejoined the wraith,

12
00:00:23,608 --> 00:00:25,961
but he has taken with him the
knowledge that Atlantis still exists.

13
00:00:25,985 --> 00:00:28,196
They will send
another wave of hive ships.

14
00:00:28,279 --> 00:00:30,531
Sheppard: We've found
a sister ship to the Aurora

15
00:00:30,615 --> 00:00:31,908
called the Orion.

16
00:00:31,991 --> 00:00:35,953
All chairs and seat backs into
your upright and locked positions.

17
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,664
Be advised,
we have detected a hive ship

18
00:00:38,748 --> 00:00:40,208
heading towards Atlantis.

19
00:00:42,001 --> 00:00:43,544
(Beeping)

20
00:00:44,128 --> 00:00:46,839
All of my people have been
safely relocated to the city.

21
00:00:46,923 --> 00:00:48,090
Did everything go smoothly?

22
00:00:48,174 --> 00:00:50,551
Yeah, they're pretty used to
the back and forth, by now.

23
00:00:50,676 --> 00:00:52,970
Have you picked up any
of their contacts? Sergeant?

24
00:00:53,054 --> 00:00:55,223
Negative, ma'am.
Scans are still clear.

25
00:00:55,306 --> 00:00:56,946
It looks like it's
just the one hive ship.

26
00:00:57,016 --> 00:00:58,726
And our cloak? Up and running.

27
00:00:58,809 --> 00:01:00,394
All readings are in the green.

28
00:01:00,478 --> 00:01:01,562
Good.

29
00:01:01,812 --> 00:01:04,565
Colonel Caldwell, are you in
position? Caldwell: Affirmative.

30
00:01:04,649 --> 00:01:07,569
We're out of scanning range, ready
to jump into position on your go-ahead.

31
00:01:07,652 --> 00:01:08,652
Weir: Excellent.

32
00:01:08,694 --> 00:01:11,506
Just for the record, I still think that
we should be in orbit around Atlantis

33
00:01:11,530 --> 00:01:12,907
ready to open up
on that hive ship

34
00:01:12,990 --> 00:01:14,742
the second it comes
out of hyperspace.

35
00:01:14,825 --> 00:01:15,825
It's one hive, colonel,

36
00:01:15,868 --> 00:01:18,120
which suggests they might
just be checking up on us.

37
00:01:18,204 --> 00:01:21,499
There's no need to confirm
our presence if we don't have to.

38
00:01:21,874 --> 00:01:23,042
Just stand by.

39
00:01:23,125 --> 00:01:24,252
Standing by.

40
00:01:24,919 --> 00:01:27,004
Colonel Sheppard,
how goes it on your end?

41
00:01:27,421 --> 00:01:29,581
Sheppard: Well, we're out
of sensor range and all that,

42
00:01:29,632 --> 00:01:31,902
but whether or not we're ready
to fight is a whole other story.

43
00:01:31,926 --> 00:01:33,570
McKay: Look, getting
this ship up and running

44
00:01:33,594 --> 00:01:35,012
in under a month is a miracle.

45
00:01:35,096 --> 00:01:37,014
Do we start the
beatification now or later?

46
00:01:37,848 --> 00:01:41,435
Rodney, if the hive opens up
on us, I want Orion's drones.

47
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:43,997
Which means we're gonna need
the hyperdrive to get in position.

48
00:01:44,021 --> 00:01:46,899
Which means we'll need shields,
which means you want everything.

49
00:01:46,983 --> 00:01:48,901
I like everything.
Can we do it or not?

50
00:01:48,985 --> 00:01:50,111
We”, don't get up.

51
00:01:50,194 --> 00:01:51,362
Shields?

52
00:01:53,197 --> 00:01:54,365
Yes.

53
00:01:54,448 --> 00:01:55,992
Jump into position?

54
00:01:56,867 --> 00:01:58,369
Mmm. Maybe.

55
00:01:58,869 --> 00:02:00,371
Release the drones?

56
00:02:02,164 --> 00:02:03,416
Probably not.

57
00:02:03,499 --> 00:02:05,793
Well, it's pointless to get
in position if we can't fire.

58
00:02:05,876 --> 00:02:09,297
You know, let's talk about it
for a really long time.

59
00:02:09,380 --> 00:02:10,673
That'll help for sure.

60
00:02:10,756 --> 00:02:14,093
Sheppard: Rodney's doing
everything inhumanly possible to be ready.

61
00:02:14,176 --> 00:02:15,511
I have a contact.

62
00:02:24,562 --> 00:02:26,147
Ca ld well.“ Atlantis, report.

63
00:02:26,564 --> 00:02:29,066
It's going into
geosynchronous orbit.

64
00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:31,277
Hasn't armed any of its weapons.

65
00:02:31,569 --> 00:02:33,112
If they do, I want you to switch

66
00:02:33,195 --> 00:02:34,915
from cloak to shield
as quickly as possible.

67
00:02:34,989 --> 00:02:36,157
Don't wait for my order.

68
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,491
Yes, ma'am.

69
00:02:38,242 --> 00:02:40,202
You could be a little
more chatty, Elizabeth.

70
00:02:40,328 --> 00:02:42,788
I'm sorry, we're just waiting
for them to make the next move.

71
00:02:42,872 --> 00:02:45,166
Transmitting a signal.
Audio only.

72
00:02:46,083 --> 00:02:47,543
Put it on speaker.

73
00:02:48,127 --> 00:02:49,962
Michael: We know you are there.

74
00:02:50,046 --> 00:02:52,631
We mean you no harm.
Please respond.

75
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:56,344
John, are you hearing this?

76
00:02:56,969 --> 00:02:58,596
It's repeating again.

77
00:02:58,679 --> 00:03:00,473
Michael: We mean you no harm.

78
00:03:01,682 --> 00:03:04,518
There is no point
in hiding, Dr. Weir.

79
00:03:04,602 --> 00:03:06,020
We know you are there.

80
00:03:06,103 --> 00:03:08,939
We mean you no harm.
Please respond.

81
00:03:09,607 --> 00:03:11,567
Is that who I think it is?

82
00:03:11,650 --> 00:03:12,943
Weir:
He's addressing me by name.

83
00:03:13,778 --> 00:03:16,447
I think we can assume
it's Michael.

84
00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:25,307
You don't actually
intend to respond?

85
00:04:25,391 --> 00:04:26,517
Weir.“ why not?

86
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,018
Where do you want me to start?

87
00:04:28,102 --> 00:04:30,438
I think we can safely say
our cover is blown.

88
00:04:30,521 --> 00:04:32,356
I wouldn't jump
to that conclusion.

89
00:04:32,481 --> 00:04:34,650
The message is
from Michael, colonel.

90
00:04:34,733 --> 00:04:35,943
They know we're here.

91
00:04:36,026 --> 00:04:38,112
Caldwell: But they don't know
exactly where we are.

92
00:04:38,195 --> 00:04:42,241
He's right. Answer them and we
guarantee the first shot won't miss.

93
00:04:43,367 --> 00:04:44,660
Teyla?

94
00:04:45,870 --> 00:04:48,497
Any attempt on my part
to connect with Michael

95
00:04:48,581 --> 00:04:52,376
will confirm our location as
surely as if you answer by radio.

96
00:04:52,918 --> 00:04:55,254
I recommend you
open a secure channel

97
00:04:55,337 --> 00:04:56,922
with the hive via the daedalus.

98
00:04:57,006 --> 00:04:59,067
That way they won't be able
to pinpoint Atlantis' position.

99
00:04:59,091 --> 00:05:00,968
And we can always
turn the shield on.

100
00:05:01,051 --> 00:05:03,304
I believe we have enough
combined firepower

101
00:05:03,387 --> 00:05:05,931
to take out a single hive
if we need to.

102
00:05:06,474 --> 00:05:09,268
Have you ever heard of a
wraith behaving this way?

103
00:05:11,061 --> 00:05:12,605
Nor have I.

104
00:05:12,897 --> 00:05:14,064
Right.

105
00:05:14,732 --> 00:05:16,400
Let's hear what
they have to say.

106
00:05:23,991 --> 00:05:25,951
Rodney and I have set up
the subspace relay

107
00:05:26,035 --> 00:05:27,161
to go through the daedalus,

108
00:05:27,244 --> 00:05:28,889
and I've been able
to configure our systems

109
00:05:28,913 --> 00:05:30,956
to handle both their audio
and video frequencies,

110
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,127
so we should be able to see
and hear them live.

111
00:05:35,294 --> 00:05:37,588
They wanna know
what's taking so long.

112
00:05:40,591 --> 00:05:41,926
Open the channel.

113
00:05:45,888 --> 00:05:47,223
(Static)

114
00:05:51,477 --> 00:05:52,853
Hello, Michael.

115
00:05:52,937 --> 00:05:54,563
Why the long delay?

116
00:05:55,731 --> 00:05:58,567
We needed to take a few
precautions before contacting you.

117
00:05:58,651 --> 00:06:00,486
I'm sure you understand why.

118
00:06:00,819 --> 00:06:03,155
I said we would not harm you.

119
00:06:03,405 --> 00:06:06,116
Well, excuse me for not
taking you at your word.

120
00:06:06,909 --> 00:06:09,578
You wanted to talk,
we're listening. Go ahead.

121
00:06:10,287 --> 00:06:12,081
Over two years ago,

122
00:06:12,623 --> 00:06:15,209
every hive ship in this galaxy

123
00:06:15,292 --> 00:06:17,795
emerged from hibernation
prematurely.

124
00:06:18,462 --> 00:06:22,841
We thought a new, rich feeding
ground had been discovered.

125
00:06:22,925 --> 00:06:24,051
Earth.

126
00:06:24,134 --> 00:06:27,304
Unfortunately,
locating your planet

127
00:06:27,721 --> 00:06:31,308
and uncovering an effective
means of transportation to get there

128
00:06:31,892 --> 00:06:34,478
has proven quite difficult.

129
00:06:35,688 --> 00:06:37,898
Well, I can't say
I'm sad to hear that.

130
00:06:37,982 --> 00:06:41,110
For the first time
since the dawn of our race,

131
00:06:41,193 --> 00:06:45,114
there are too few of your kind
to feed the waking wraith.

132
00:06:45,739 --> 00:06:48,033
This has resulted in civil war.

133
00:06:48,909 --> 00:06:53,664
Hives are forming alliances,
and strong are attacking the weak.

134
00:06:55,165 --> 00:06:56,250
Which are you?

135
00:06:56,333 --> 00:06:59,503
Our goals are not dissimilar,
Dr. Weir.

136
00:06:59,837 --> 00:07:02,423
You would like to eliminate
the wraith as a threat?

137
00:07:02,506 --> 00:07:04,550
I find that hard to believe.

138
00:07:05,175 --> 00:07:09,013
We would like you to give us
Dr. Beckett's retrovirus.

139
00:07:09,179 --> 00:07:11,098
If we were able to distribute it

140
00:07:11,181 --> 00:07:14,518
among the rival wraith hives
in sufficient quantity,

141
00:07:14,602 --> 00:07:17,271
this would both
render them helpless

142
00:07:17,354 --> 00:07:21,066
and provide us with
an alternative food source.

143
00:07:21,191 --> 00:07:23,694
Those wraith
would become humans.

144
00:07:24,278 --> 00:07:26,196
On the surface, perhaps.

145
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,658
As a sign of good faith, I am
sending you our jamming codes.

146
00:07:29,867 --> 00:07:32,244
This program was established
and distributed

147
00:07:32,328 --> 00:07:34,121
before the civil war broke out

148
00:07:34,204 --> 00:07:37,333
so we assume all the
hive ships are still using it.

149
00:07:37,666 --> 00:07:42,046
By figuring out how to bypass
or disable this program,

150
00:07:42,838 --> 00:07:44,965
you would be able
to beam your nuclear weapons

151
00:07:45,049 --> 00:07:46,717
aboard any of our ships

152
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,719
whenever you so please.

153
00:07:49,553 --> 00:07:53,557
We are willing to help you
achieve this if you help us.

154
00:07:54,391 --> 00:07:55,893
They're sending a data burst.

155
00:07:56,393 --> 00:07:59,104
Download it to a non-networked,
firewalled computer.

156
00:07:59,188 --> 00:08:00,397
Yes, ma'am.

157
00:08:00,481 --> 00:08:03,817
I'm sure you'll want to recall all
the ships you have lying in wait for us

158
00:08:03,901 --> 00:08:05,819
and discuss this
with your people.

159
00:08:05,903 --> 00:08:08,197
We will await your reply.

160
00:08:09,073 --> 00:08:12,868
But should you make
an attempt to destroy us,

161
00:08:13,243 --> 00:08:16,372
we will alert every wraith
in this galaxy

162
00:08:16,455 --> 00:08:20,125
to the fact that Atlantis
is still very much intact.

163
00:08:21,085 --> 00:08:23,170
I'm sure you wouldn't want that.

164
00:08:28,759 --> 00:08:30,219
Well, I think it's safe to say

165
00:08:30,302 --> 00:08:32,739
that if they were going to attack
us, they would've done it by now.

166
00:08:32,763 --> 00:08:34,890
They let the daedalus land
without incident.

167
00:08:34,973 --> 00:08:36,618
And you're sure they
don't know about the Orion?

168
00:08:36,642 --> 00:08:39,478
I ordered lorne to park her
just outside of sensor range.

169
00:08:39,561 --> 00:08:42,064
This... this is incredible.

170
00:08:42,356 --> 00:08:44,417
I can't believe they actually
sent this over so freely.

171
00:08:44,441 --> 00:08:46,419
I mean, if I can figure out how
to break through this program,

172
00:08:46,443 --> 00:08:48,237
which is, well, as
you know, pretty likely,

173
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,198
we could nuke any hive ship
that we came across.

174
00:08:51,448 --> 00:08:52,533
Including Michael's?

175
00:08:52,616 --> 00:08:54,219
Might take a couple
of tries the first time.

176
00:08:54,243 --> 00:08:57,162
Long enough to tell the rest
of the wraith we're still around.

177
00:08:57,246 --> 00:09:00,124
If they really are willing to
let me run tests on their ship,

178
00:09:00,207 --> 00:09:01,333
I mean, this is a...

179
00:09:01,417 --> 00:09:03,460
It's an amazing opportunity,
Elizabeth.

180
00:09:03,627 --> 00:09:05,379
An amazing opportunity.

181
00:09:05,462 --> 00:09:09,466
We”, think about it.
This is essentially our idea.

182
00:09:10,092 --> 00:09:11,385
We created the retrovirus

183
00:09:11,468 --> 00:09:14,054
in order to do exactly what
they're proposing we do.

184
00:09:14,138 --> 00:09:15,389
What's the downside?

185
00:09:15,472 --> 00:09:18,600
I mean, other than the fact that
we'd be working with the wraith.

186
00:09:18,684 --> 00:09:19,852
Isn't that enough?

187
00:09:19,935 --> 00:09:23,564
It would mean at least something good
came of our experiment with Michael.

188
00:09:23,647 --> 00:09:25,524
I'm not sure we have a choice.

189
00:09:25,816 --> 00:09:28,527
It appears they've kept
our existence a secret.

190
00:09:28,944 --> 00:09:30,571
But if we do not help...

191
00:09:31,321 --> 00:09:32,781
Then there is that.

192
00:09:34,074 --> 00:09:37,619
Carson, I know you've been working
on the weaponization of the retrovirus.

193
00:09:37,703 --> 00:09:38,871
How close are you?

194
00:09:38,954 --> 00:09:40,038
We're close.

195
00:09:40,664 --> 00:09:43,584
It still needs work,
but we're close.

196
00:09:50,007 --> 00:09:51,133
What?

197
00:09:52,259 --> 00:09:53,677
What do you think?

198
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:55,888
Let's do it.

199
00:09:55,971 --> 00:09:57,014
Weir: Really?

200
00:09:57,097 --> 00:09:59,850
Sheppard said it himself.
It's our idea.

201
00:10:00,184 --> 00:10:01,602
I just thought
you of all people...

202
00:10:01,685 --> 00:10:03,329
If they want our help
killing other wraith,

203
00:10:03,353 --> 00:10:05,898
it's one kind of help
I'm happy to provide.

204
00:10:06,064 --> 00:10:07,191
Okay.

205
00:10:08,150 --> 00:10:10,486
So we're going to do this.

206
00:10:14,740 --> 00:10:16,325
I'll accept the offer.

207
00:10:20,704 --> 00:10:21,914
Teyla.

208
00:10:21,997 --> 00:10:23,081
Colonel?

209
00:10:24,374 --> 00:10:27,628
Something tells me you don't
think this is such a good idea.

210
00:10:27,711 --> 00:10:30,464
As I said, I do not
believe we have a choice.

211
00:10:30,547 --> 00:10:32,424
A good idea is
still a good idea.

212
00:10:32,508 --> 00:10:34,468
I voiced my concern
about this plan

213
00:10:34,551 --> 00:10:35,844
to change the wraith into humans

214
00:10:35,928 --> 00:10:37,763
prior to the experiment
on Michael.

215
00:10:37,846 --> 00:10:39,097
And we convinced you.

216
00:10:39,181 --> 00:10:41,099
No, colonel.

217
00:10:41,934 --> 00:10:44,186
I chose to place
my trust in you.

218
00:10:44,269 --> 00:10:45,604
There is a difference.

219
00:10:45,687 --> 00:10:47,147
Look, it's not like
we're setting out

220
00:10:47,231 --> 00:10:48,816
to create a bunch
of Michaels here.

221
00:10:48,899 --> 00:10:51,527
No, we are creating a
food source for other wraith.

222
00:10:51,610 --> 00:10:55,239
Instead of us, which is the
part I am fine with, by the way.

223
00:10:57,241 --> 00:11:00,285
I guess I just want you
to be fine with it, too.

224
00:11:00,953 --> 00:11:03,539
If this is the full extent
of their plan...

225
00:11:05,749 --> 00:11:07,417
What do you mean?

226
00:11:09,419 --> 00:11:11,296
They are wraith.

227
00:11:23,433 --> 00:11:26,311
Man: This is escort 2. We have
a visual on the wraith scout ship

228
00:11:26,395 --> 00:11:28,939
and are entering
formation with escort 5.

229
00:11:34,194 --> 00:11:36,154
I gotta tell you,
when I woke up this morning,

230
00:11:36,238 --> 00:11:38,949
I honestly didn't think
this would be happening.

231
00:11:41,201 --> 00:11:42,953
God, I hope
we're doing the right thing.

232
00:12:09,354 --> 00:12:10,898
Touchdown.

233
00:12:47,768 --> 00:12:49,603
I'm Dr. Elizabeth Weir.

234
00:12:49,686 --> 00:12:51,521
Welcome to Atlantis.

235
00:13:10,999 --> 00:13:13,585
My people are willing to work
with some of your scientists,

236
00:13:13,669 --> 00:13:15,587
but no more than three wraith

237
00:13:15,671 --> 00:13:18,048
will be allowed on this base
at any given time.

238
00:13:18,340 --> 00:13:20,592
You'll be subjected
to extensive searches

239
00:13:20,676 --> 00:13:22,970
that we'll perform
at random intervals.

240
00:13:23,053 --> 00:13:27,724
If any harmful materials or weapons
are found on your, uh, your fellow wraith,

241
00:13:28,767 --> 00:13:30,602
we'll consider it
an act of aggression

242
00:13:30,686 --> 00:13:32,437
and immediately
destroy your ship.

243
00:13:32,521 --> 00:13:35,190
We are also monitoring
all of your transmission.

244
00:13:35,273 --> 00:13:37,859
All we want is the retrovirus.

245
00:13:38,110 --> 00:13:41,905
It is the key to ending a civil
war that could go on for centuries.

246
00:13:42,572 --> 00:13:45,158
Impose whatever
conditions you wish.

247
00:13:47,869 --> 00:13:49,454
Let us begin.

248
00:13:53,083 --> 00:13:57,671
Aside from a slight refinement
since we last used it on...

249
00:13:58,630 --> 00:14:01,925
Well, on the one
we called Michael.

250
00:14:03,593 --> 00:14:06,346
Do you have names?
What shall I call you?

251
00:14:06,430 --> 00:14:08,306
What shall I call him?

252
00:14:10,267 --> 00:14:13,645
Well, I suppose in the end it
really doesn't matter, does it?

253
00:14:15,439 --> 00:14:18,316
Okay, where was I?

254
00:14:18,567 --> 00:14:19,919
We were just getting
to dissemination.

255
00:14:19,943 --> 00:14:21,695
Yes, yes, thank you.

256
00:14:21,778 --> 00:14:25,949
Now, when disseminating an aerosolized
medicine such as the retrovirus,

257
00:14:26,033 --> 00:14:29,286
one needs to take in a number
of different considerations.

258
00:14:29,369 --> 00:14:33,999
Proximity to patient, particle
size, ventilation pattern,

259
00:14:34,082 --> 00:14:35,375
ainivay architecture, dosage_.

260
00:14:35,459 --> 00:14:37,377
You turned it into a gas?

261
00:14:37,461 --> 00:14:40,130
Yes. An aerosol gas.

262
00:14:40,213 --> 00:14:41,506
Hmm.

263
00:14:42,632 --> 00:14:46,595
O-On earth, we'd normally use a
technique called aerodynamic dissemination,

264
00:14:47,012 --> 00:14:48,638
but because of the problems
of doing that

265
00:14:48,722 --> 00:14:50,932
inside, say, like,
a wraith hive ship,

266
00:14:51,016 --> 00:14:53,935
w-we have attempted various
styles of thermal dissemination.

267
00:14:54,019 --> 00:14:55,228
Explosives?

268
00:14:55,312 --> 00:14:56,438
Explosives, yes, yes.

269
00:14:56,521 --> 00:14:58,899
Uh, the problem with an
explosive delivery system is

270
00:14:58,982 --> 00:15:01,068
that because the drug
is now an aerosol,

271
00:15:01,151 --> 00:15:03,236
a third of the tests
ignited the medication.

272
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,614
Rendering it useless.
They call it flashing.

273
00:15:05,697 --> 00:15:06,865
Flashing.

274
00:15:07,157 --> 00:15:10,827
Long ago, we experimented
with gas weapons.

275
00:15:10,911 --> 00:15:15,373
We found them most difficult to
use in outer-atmosphere combat.

276
00:15:15,582 --> 00:15:17,584
When fired into an enemy vessel,

277
00:15:17,667 --> 00:15:20,337
the weapon caused
explosive decompression

278
00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:22,339
in the targeted compartment.

279
00:15:23,465 --> 00:15:25,592
We had thought of that, yes.

280
00:15:26,009 --> 00:15:31,014
But if you want to affect a
large population simultaneously,

281
00:15:31,431 --> 00:15:34,643
an aerosol gas is
really the only way to go.

282
00:15:34,768 --> 00:15:37,854
Now we have to figure out a way
to get it into your enemy's hive ship.

283
00:15:37,938 --> 00:15:40,023
Yes, we will.

284
00:15:45,070 --> 00:15:46,446
It's pretty interesting
stuff, eh.

285
00:15:46,530 --> 00:15:49,449
I think I've learned more about
wraith technology in the last hour

286
00:15:49,533 --> 00:15:51,701
than I have
in the past two years.

287
00:15:54,412 --> 00:15:57,124
Oh, come on. I understand
you're an asgard and everything,

288
00:15:57,207 --> 00:15:59,960
but even you've gotta feel
a bit of an adrenaline buzz.

289
00:16:00,043 --> 00:16:02,295
My body does not possess
the adrenal gland

290
00:16:02,379 --> 00:16:04,798
that produces
epinephrine in your system.

291
00:16:04,881 --> 00:16:08,468
And even if I did, I would
not be as easily impressed.

292
00:16:08,593 --> 00:16:10,887
I get it. I get it. You think
you're smarter than I am.

293
00:16:10,971 --> 00:16:12,472
You ready to go or not?

294
00:16:12,556 --> 00:16:14,558
I have been for some time.

295
00:16:17,894 --> 00:16:19,187
This is McKay.

296
00:16:19,271 --> 00:16:21,148
Give me an open channel
to the hive.

297
00:16:21,773 --> 00:16:23,650
Man: You're live. Go ahead.

298
00:16:23,733 --> 00:16:24,985
(Clears throat)

299
00:16:25,944 --> 00:16:28,947
This is Dr. Rodney McKay
aboard the earth ship daedalus.

300
00:16:29,030 --> 00:16:31,658
We would like, uh,
with your permission,

301
00:16:31,741 --> 00:16:35,328
to begin attempting to beam
an innocuous canister

302
00:16:35,412 --> 00:16:37,664
onto your ship while
you are actively jamming.

303
00:16:37,747 --> 00:16:40,041
Uh, we're hoping
through trial and error

304
00:16:40,125 --> 00:16:45,463
that we can slowly disarm
or, uh, break the code.

305
00:16:46,631 --> 00:16:48,175
May we proceed?

306
00:16:51,428 --> 00:16:53,638
Hive queen:
You may begin, Dr. McKay.

307
00:16:53,722 --> 00:16:55,891
Okay, thank you. Thank you.

308
00:16:57,601 --> 00:16:59,102
That was weird.

309
00:16:59,561 --> 00:17:00,812
Shall we?

310
00:17:08,278 --> 00:17:09,779
Hello, Michael.

311
00:17:11,031 --> 00:17:13,450
It seemed right
to come back here

312
00:17:14,868 --> 00:17:16,453
and to see you.

313
00:17:17,204 --> 00:17:18,997
Thank you for coming.

314
00:17:19,748 --> 00:17:21,374
You didn't have to bring him.

315
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,376
I insisted.

316
00:17:24,794 --> 00:17:28,882
The last time I saw you, I
really was going to feed on you.

317
00:17:29,758 --> 00:17:34,638
But it was not a matter
of choice, it was instinct.

318
00:17:36,014 --> 00:17:38,058
That is what you
have come here to say?

319
00:17:38,141 --> 00:17:39,309
(Sighs)

320
00:17:39,893 --> 00:17:44,856
You have given me a very rare
perspective among the wraith.

321
00:17:45,482 --> 00:17:46,942
Few of us have ever come to know

322
00:17:47,025 --> 00:17:48,777
the humans we are
going to feed on

323
00:17:48,860 --> 00:17:52,656
as anything more
than a means to survive.

324
00:17:53,531 --> 00:17:56,952
And still, I would
do what I had to do.

325
00:17:59,537 --> 00:18:01,915
But what you did to me...

326
00:18:01,998 --> 00:18:03,333
We did the same.

327
00:18:03,416 --> 00:18:04,417
To survive.

328
00:18:04,501 --> 00:18:06,253
I thought you were
trying to help me.

329
00:18:06,336 --> 00:18:07,462
What's your point?

330
00:18:07,545 --> 00:18:09,506
We're not as different
as you think.

331
00:18:09,589 --> 00:18:11,049
We are nothing like you.

332
00:18:11,132 --> 00:18:12,509
(Laughing)

333
00:18:14,469 --> 00:18:18,098
You are a lot more like us than
you allow yourselves to believe.

334
00:18:18,181 --> 00:18:20,767
I will not argue with you,
Michael. It is pointless.

335
00:18:20,850 --> 00:18:23,395
If we are to make
this alliance work,

336
00:18:24,396 --> 00:18:27,983
we must both overcome
the instincts that define us.

337
00:18:32,153 --> 00:18:34,030
We will not meet again.

338
00:18:35,532 --> 00:18:36,783
Goodbye.

339
00:18:38,618 --> 00:18:40,078
Goodbye.

340
00:18:46,876 --> 00:18:49,379
You are proving
my point right now.

341
00:18:49,671 --> 00:18:52,674
Oh, every fiber in your body
wants to kill me.

342
00:18:55,719 --> 00:18:58,221
Instinct is so hard to overcome,

343
00:18:58,305 --> 00:19:00,807
but what would happen
to our alliance?

344
00:19:00,974 --> 00:19:03,143
Every wraith ship
in this galaxy would

345
00:19:03,226 --> 00:19:05,854
descend upon this city
and destroy it.

346
00:19:08,148 --> 00:19:09,482
Is it worth it, ronon?

347
00:19:09,566 --> 00:19:11,776
If it was up to me...
But it isn't!

348
00:19:30,628 --> 00:19:31,921
(Exhales)

349
00:19:32,714 --> 00:19:35,467
What will happen once you
disseminate the weapon?

350
00:19:35,550 --> 00:19:37,802
We shall continue
on to the next hive.

351
00:19:37,886 --> 00:19:39,095
Then what?

352
00:19:39,471 --> 00:19:43,183
Oh, we will continue until we've
conquered all of our enemies.

353
00:19:43,266 --> 00:19:46,019
And you think our retrovirus
can do all that?

354
00:19:46,102 --> 00:19:47,354
Yes.

355
00:19:47,479 --> 00:19:49,939
The one we're freely
handing over to you?

356
00:19:50,690 --> 00:19:51,858
I see.

357
00:19:53,777 --> 00:19:56,446
Your people will not be harmed.

358
00:19:57,989 --> 00:20:00,867
Such would be the nature
of our agreement.

359
00:20:00,950 --> 00:20:04,496
And what about all the other
humans on the other worlds?

360
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,207
Any chance
you'll stop feeding on them?

361
00:20:07,290 --> 00:20:10,627
Your retrovirus will allow us
to feed off enemy wraith.

362
00:20:11,795 --> 00:20:15,548
There will come a time, however,

363
00:20:15,632 --> 00:20:18,134
when our enemy
will be vanquished.

364
00:20:18,510 --> 00:20:20,136
At which point
you'll return to killing

365
00:20:20,220 --> 00:20:22,055
ordinary folks
the old-fashioned way.

366
00:20:22,138 --> 00:20:24,766
That will take far longer
than your short lifetime.

367
00:20:24,849 --> 00:20:27,727
Let's just say I'm worried
about my grandkids.

368
00:20:28,019 --> 00:20:30,313
The technology of this city,

369
00:20:30,397 --> 00:20:32,816
this city that you now control,

370
00:20:33,149 --> 00:20:36,403
is far more powerful
than that of the wraith.

371
00:20:37,153 --> 00:20:40,073
Yet we brought the lanteans
to their knees.

372
00:20:41,741 --> 00:20:43,451
Why? Far greater numbers.

373
00:20:43,535 --> 00:20:46,830
Numbers that will be
diminished by your retrovirus.

374
00:20:47,831 --> 00:20:49,833
Balance will be restored.

375
00:20:50,458 --> 00:20:53,878
I believe that is as much
as either of us can ask for.

376
00:20:54,879 --> 00:20:56,423
Don't you?

377
00:21:00,218 --> 00:21:03,763
No! I'm sorry. An aerosol
gas is the only way to go.

378
00:21:03,847 --> 00:21:05,098
(Growls)

379
00:21:05,723 --> 00:21:08,852
Not that I want to anger you

380
00:21:08,935 --> 00:21:12,647
or not take any of your ideas
into consideration.

381
00:21:12,897 --> 00:21:16,860
It's just that, well, we've been
working on this for some time now.

382
00:21:18,445 --> 00:21:19,779
Very well.

383
00:21:20,363 --> 00:21:23,575
Can't you smuggle gas bomb
onto one of your rival hives?

384
00:21:24,033 --> 00:21:26,786
Such a device would
not allow for the gas

385
00:21:26,870 --> 00:21:29,789
to affect the whole ship
in sufficient time.

386
00:21:30,498 --> 00:21:32,709
They would open fire
on our own ship

387
00:21:32,792 --> 00:21:34,919
the moment the gas was detected.

388
00:21:35,211 --> 00:21:40,049
Aye. You need to reach all the
occupied compartments at once.

389
00:21:42,093 --> 00:21:43,761
If we could get
the aerosol gas into

390
00:21:43,845 --> 00:21:45,430
the life-support system...

391
00:21:45,513 --> 00:21:47,724
How long for the gas
to take effect?

392
00:21:48,725 --> 00:21:51,728
Well, theoretically...
We don't know.

393
00:21:51,895 --> 00:21:53,188
Well, we don't.

394
00:21:53,271 --> 00:21:55,231
He's right, we don't.

395
00:21:57,358 --> 00:21:59,652
Then I will have to
make arrangements.

396
00:22:02,155 --> 00:22:03,823
(Wraith grunting)

397
00:22:30,475 --> 00:22:32,101
I want to go in there.

398
00:22:33,895 --> 00:22:34,938
Now.

399
00:22:40,193 --> 00:22:42,153
Vent the gas from the room.

400
00:22:56,876 --> 00:23:00,129
Don't worry. He'll begin to turn
back in only a number of days

401
00:23:00,213 --> 00:23:02,298
if we don't start
administering...

402
00:23:02,382 --> 00:23:03,424
Weir: Colonel.

403
00:23:03,508 --> 00:23:04,717
(Wraith screaming)

404
00:23:04,801 --> 00:23:07,262
We knew this would be
a part of the bargain.

405
00:23:11,849 --> 00:23:13,184
(Hissing)

406
00:23:19,023 --> 00:23:20,650
I've seen enough.

407
00:23:34,998 --> 00:23:36,791
It works.

408
00:23:44,007 --> 00:23:47,594
There is another hive ship a
single jump away from this system.

409
00:23:47,677 --> 00:23:50,930
They recently attempted
to attack our ship.

410
00:23:52,265 --> 00:23:55,184
I would like to test
the virus on them first.

411
00:23:57,186 --> 00:24:00,898
With all due respect, madam,
I don't think we're there yet.

412
00:24:01,441 --> 00:24:03,192
We've been working
with your scientist here

413
00:24:03,276 --> 00:24:05,879
on an effective means of disseminating
the virus as an aerosol gas...

414
00:24:05,903 --> 00:24:08,114
And you have succeeded.

415
00:24:08,239 --> 00:24:11,284
Transforming a single wraith
in a controlled environment

416
00:24:11,367 --> 00:24:13,119
and trying to infect
an entire hive at once

417
00:24:13,202 --> 00:24:14,602
are completely
two different things.

418
00:24:14,662 --> 00:24:16,456
We plan on entering their hive

419
00:24:16,539 --> 00:24:19,459
under the pretense of
negotiating our surrender.

420
00:24:19,542 --> 00:24:21,336
Part of the delegation
will break away

421
00:24:21,419 --> 00:24:24,380
planting small canisters
of gas throughout the ship.

422
00:24:25,048 --> 00:24:26,799
We need only to create a system

423
00:24:26,883 --> 00:24:28,635
that will synchronize
the release.

424
00:24:28,718 --> 00:24:30,261
Well, we can do that.

425
00:24:30,345 --> 00:24:32,055
Oh, do we have the kind
of volume we need?

426
00:24:32,138 --> 00:24:34,932
Aye. Our lab has been
churning out

427
00:24:35,016 --> 00:24:36,976
since we struck a deal
with our friends here.

428
00:24:37,894 --> 00:24:39,395
Then we can do this?

429
00:24:40,688 --> 00:24:43,566
Well, it's up to them.

430
00:24:45,401 --> 00:24:48,529
I would like our people
to go along and observe.

431
00:24:48,780 --> 00:24:50,406
For what purpose?

432
00:24:50,573 --> 00:24:52,408
Make sure you stick to the plan,

433
00:24:52,492 --> 00:24:54,410
do what you say you're gonna do.

434
00:24:55,745 --> 00:24:57,080
Very well.

435
00:24:58,748 --> 00:25:00,083
Good luck.

436
00:25:00,917 --> 00:25:02,335
To us all.

437
00:25:14,972 --> 00:25:16,683
Jumper 8 has cleared the bay,
cloaked,

438
00:25:16,766 --> 00:25:18,351
and is heading
for the two hive ships.

439
00:25:18,434 --> 00:25:20,353
We are running quiet
and out of sensor range.

440
00:25:20,436 --> 00:25:21,938
Thank you, captain.

441
00:25:22,271 --> 00:25:24,357
Guess now we just wait.

442
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,235
This trial's a little
premature, don't you think?

443
00:25:27,318 --> 00:25:29,878
Hmm. I guess that's what happens
when the wraith get too excited.

444
00:25:29,904 --> 00:25:31,781
What if they fail?

445
00:25:31,948 --> 00:25:33,866
Maybe they'll blow each
other to kingdom come,

446
00:25:33,950 --> 00:25:35,243
we can all go home.

447
00:25:35,326 --> 00:25:37,745
I thought
we wanted this to work.

448
00:25:38,079 --> 00:25:40,206
I'm just saying,
if this thing goes south,

449
00:25:40,289 --> 00:25:43,376
we can't let the word get out
we were involved in this.

450
00:25:47,547 --> 00:25:49,340
Carson.

451
00:25:49,549 --> 00:25:50,883
Elizabeth.

452
00:25:51,634 --> 00:25:53,970
When I developed this
retrovirus for the wraith,

453
00:25:54,053 --> 00:25:57,724
it was to free them from what I
perceived to be an unnatural state.

454
00:25:57,974 --> 00:25:59,684
Now at the very moment
they take human form

455
00:25:59,767 --> 00:26:02,061
they'll face
a horribly painful death.

456
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:04,564
No matter
how we rationalize this

457
00:26:04,647 --> 00:26:06,566
we're still letting
the wraith kill humans.

458
00:26:06,983 --> 00:26:09,861
Well, I guess it depends
on how you define "human".

459
00:26:10,153 --> 00:26:12,905
We can't judge an entire race
based on the fact

460
00:26:12,989 --> 00:26:14,907
that Michael's
experiment didn't work.

461
00:26:14,991 --> 00:26:18,369
If you're asking me whether or
not I'm losing sleep over this...

462
00:26:21,497 --> 00:26:26,335
Hmm. Well, I am taking
those sedatives you prescribed.

463
00:26:28,713 --> 00:26:31,090
We're getting telemetry back
from the cloaked jumper, sir.

464
00:26:31,174 --> 00:26:32,425
It's in theater.

465
00:26:32,508 --> 00:26:33,968
Let's see it.

466
00:26:34,886 --> 00:26:37,013
That's our hive
there on the left.

467
00:26:37,638 --> 00:26:40,183
Our hive. It's weird.

468
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,148
The delegation's aboard.
Now we wait.

469
00:26:51,194 --> 00:26:52,904
They didn't need you
on the daedalus?

470
00:26:52,987 --> 00:26:55,490
Colonel Caldwell believed
my time was better spent

471
00:26:55,573 --> 00:26:57,450
disabling theirjamming code.

472
00:26:57,533 --> 00:27:00,244
(Scoffs) So they can fly
that ship without you.

473
00:27:00,328 --> 00:27:04,832
Yes, but apparently you cannot
run these tests without me.

474
00:27:04,957 --> 00:27:07,335
I'm sure I would have been fine.

475
00:27:07,710 --> 00:27:09,754
I am not as sure.

476
00:27:10,713 --> 00:27:12,673
Really? Well.

477
00:27:17,094 --> 00:27:20,014
Okay, try it now.

478
00:27:24,352 --> 00:27:25,603
(Beeping)

479
00:27:28,397 --> 00:27:32,235
Well, well. Turns out the human
knows what he's doing after all.

480
00:27:32,318 --> 00:27:36,531
Indeed. Your assistance
on this project will be noted.

481
00:27:36,614 --> 00:27:38,115
My assistance?

482
00:27:44,247 --> 00:27:45,873
The delegation
transport is returning

483
00:27:45,957 --> 00:27:47,792
to the friendly hive
ahead of schedule.

484
00:27:53,422 --> 00:27:54,924
What was that?

485
00:27:55,591 --> 00:27:57,718
Captain: The transport
has been destroyed.

486
00:27:57,802 --> 00:27:58,845
That's not good.

487
00:27:58,928 --> 00:28:01,722
Sir, jumper 8 is reporting the
enemy hive has opened fire.

488
00:28:01,806 --> 00:28:03,975
Friendly hive
sustaining serious damage.

489
00:28:04,058 --> 00:28:05,977
If they get boarded,
it's all over for Atlantis.

490
00:28:06,060 --> 00:28:07,436
They'll give us up for sure.

491
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,915
Jump to their position, shields
at full, ready main railguns,

492
00:28:09,939 --> 00:28:11,190
ready all missile batteries.

493
00:28:11,274 --> 00:28:12,859
Captain:
Jumping into theater now.

494
00:28:14,861 --> 00:28:16,362
(Explosions)

495
00:28:26,664 --> 00:28:28,082
Get that jumper
back into the bay!

496
00:28:28,165 --> 00:28:29,643
We're not gonna be able
to keep this up for long.

497
00:28:29,667 --> 00:28:31,307
Think we'll give them
enough time to jump?

498
00:28:31,335 --> 00:28:32,615
Our hive is entering hyperspace.

499
00:28:41,554 --> 00:28:43,222
Jumper 8 has been recovered.

500
00:28:43,306 --> 00:28:45,641
Set course for Atlantis.
Get us out of here!

501
00:28:57,695 --> 00:28:59,906
Hive queen:
Our delegation was searched.

502
00:28:59,989 --> 00:29:03,534
They were killed immediately
when your canisters were discovered.

503
00:29:03,618 --> 00:29:07,663
Our transport ship tried to
escape, but it was destroyed.

504
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,542
You must devise
a better delivery method.

505
00:29:11,626 --> 00:29:12,877
Or what?

506
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,839
Or we will disclose your
location to the other wraith.

507
00:29:16,964 --> 00:29:19,133
We kept our part of the bargain.

508
00:29:19,216 --> 00:29:20,635
We gave you the retrovirus.

509
00:29:20,718 --> 00:29:23,512
And it is useless without
an effective delivery system.

510
00:29:23,596 --> 00:29:25,848
So we have to do everything?

511
00:29:29,769 --> 00:29:31,062
(Sighing)

512
00:29:32,021 --> 00:29:34,982
Okay, okay. I will
figure something out.

513
00:29:35,107 --> 00:29:36,108
But no more holding back.

514
00:29:36,192 --> 00:29:38,295
I wanna know everything
there is to know about hive ships.

515
00:29:38,319 --> 00:29:39,546
Schematics, power distribution,

516
00:29:39,570 --> 00:29:41,948
life-support configurations,
everything you've got.

517
00:29:42,031 --> 00:29:43,950
Then you shall have it.

518
00:29:44,116 --> 00:29:45,576
For real?

519
00:29:49,497 --> 00:29:51,123
Receiving transmission.

520
00:29:51,457 --> 00:29:52,833
Make sure it's secure.

521
00:29:52,917 --> 00:29:54,477
Yeah, yeah, we're
completely firewalled.

522
00:29:54,502 --> 00:29:55,878
Let me see that.

523
00:29:59,548 --> 00:30:00,758
(Scoffs)

524
00:30:01,425 --> 00:30:03,886
She actually did it.
Well, this is the mother lode.

525
00:30:03,970 --> 00:30:05,596
What is, exactly?

526
00:30:05,888 --> 00:30:08,599
Only everything you've ever wanted
to know about wraith technology

527
00:30:08,683 --> 00:30:10,559
but were afraid to ask.

528
00:30:12,228 --> 00:30:14,146
Why are you doing this?

529
00:30:14,230 --> 00:30:17,233
We have suffered
extensive damage.

530
00:30:23,572 --> 00:30:25,783
We could render assistance.

531
00:30:26,325 --> 00:30:28,077
You would do this?

532
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,913
We're supposed to have
an alliance, aren't we?

533
00:30:31,580 --> 00:30:33,958
Sending information
on wraith technology

534
00:30:34,041 --> 00:30:37,086
was a remarkable act
of good faith on your part.

535
00:30:37,336 --> 00:30:41,215
Your assistance
would be acceptable.

536
00:30:42,258 --> 00:30:45,553
All right then. We have a deal.

537
00:30:59,316 --> 00:31:01,986
I know you guys have been
burning it at both ends, so...

538
00:31:02,069 --> 00:31:03,738
Dr. Vogel just
went to get us some.

539
00:31:03,821 --> 00:31:06,032
Thank you. Yeah,
caught him on the way in.

540
00:31:06,115 --> 00:31:07,575
How's it coming?

541
00:31:07,658 --> 00:31:09,827
Ah! Oh, it... it...
It's phenomenal.

542
00:31:09,910 --> 00:31:11,513
It... it's like being handed
a wraith encyclopedia.

543
00:31:11,537 --> 00:31:13,247
It's hard to know
where to start.

544
00:31:13,330 --> 00:31:15,458
When I was a kid and I
got my first encyclopedia,

545
00:31:15,541 --> 00:31:17,668
I started with the letter s.

546
00:31:18,419 --> 00:31:21,505
Yes, well, while I'm sure the
wraith sexuality is interesting,

547
00:31:21,589 --> 00:31:23,507
we've decided to
split into two teams.

548
00:31:23,591 --> 00:31:26,010
Team a over here is trying
to find the best place or places

549
00:31:26,093 --> 00:31:27,887
to plant the gas canister,

550
00:31:28,554 --> 00:31:31,724
and team b over there is trying to
come up with some fixes for the damage

551
00:31:31,807 --> 00:31:34,101
that the wraith hive sustained
during its last battle.

552
00:31:34,185 --> 00:31:35,728
And you?

553
00:31:35,853 --> 00:31:37,396
Mostly I'm just
skimming the index.

554
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,315
Anything exciting? Oh, yes.

555
00:31:39,398 --> 00:31:41,567
Such as?
Well, the ships are massive.

556
00:31:41,650 --> 00:31:43,611
But because of their
mainly organic design,

557
00:31:43,694 --> 00:31:45,738
they have a number
of external weaknesses.

558
00:31:45,821 --> 00:31:48,365
I've got a weakness
for external weaknesses.

559
00:31:48,908 --> 00:31:50,242
Any word from Rodney yet?

560
00:31:50,326 --> 00:31:51,994
I'm sure he's fine.

561
00:31:58,250 --> 00:32:02,630
The organic base of a lot of
your technology, it's quite amazing.

562
00:32:02,713 --> 00:32:05,299
Very, um, resilient.

563
00:32:05,633 --> 00:32:07,259
Many of the problems
we encounter

564
00:32:07,343 --> 00:32:09,095
eventually heal themselves, yes.

565
00:32:09,178 --> 00:32:11,764
But there are smaller,
more complex issues.

566
00:32:11,889 --> 00:32:15,976
Such as the programming code to
make your old ships do new things?

567
00:32:16,102 --> 00:32:18,979
Or bypassing
inoperable systems, yes.

568
00:32:19,772 --> 00:32:23,192
It has been so long since
we've fought a real battle.

569
00:32:24,318 --> 00:32:28,239
Yes, well, I imagine I'd forget
a lot in 10,000 years, too.

570
00:32:29,490 --> 00:32:31,117
Wraith scientist:
Before the civil war,

571
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,328
there were keepers who
maintained the entire fleet,

572
00:32:34,411 --> 00:32:36,122
but they've made
their own alliances.

573
00:32:36,205 --> 00:32:37,706
Sorry about that.

574
00:32:37,873 --> 00:32:40,835
Without your help, this damage
may have been irreparable.

575
00:32:40,918 --> 00:32:43,087
Finally, an alien race
that appreciates me.

576
00:32:43,170 --> 00:32:44,755
Do you think
we will be able to come up

577
00:32:44,839 --> 00:32:47,466
with an adequate delivery
system for the retrovirus?

578
00:32:47,550 --> 00:32:49,385
Hmm. Well, I know that
you don't know me,

579
00:32:49,468 --> 00:32:50,946
so you couldn't
possibly know this, but...

580
00:32:50,970 --> 00:32:53,389
The short answer is yes.

581
00:32:54,098 --> 00:32:55,224
This way.

582
00:32:56,308 --> 00:32:58,894
Ronon, are you crazy?
Do you wanna get us killed?

583
00:32:58,978 --> 00:33:00,437
You don't touch him.

584
00:33:00,563 --> 00:33:02,314
He was guiding me down the hall,

585
00:33:02,398 --> 00:33:04,358
not sucking the life
out my shoulder.

586
00:33:04,692 --> 00:33:07,361
We are sorry. Say you're sorry.

587
00:33:07,444 --> 00:33:09,321
That will not be necessary.

588
00:33:09,405 --> 00:33:11,282
He was protecting his superior.

589
00:33:11,615 --> 00:33:12,992
I would have done the same.

590
00:33:13,075 --> 00:33:14,660
He's not my superior.

591
00:33:14,785 --> 00:33:17,746
Certainly not in every sense.

592
00:33:18,414 --> 00:33:19,748
My apologies.

593
00:33:20,291 --> 00:33:22,168
You wanted to take us somewhere?

594
00:33:22,251 --> 00:33:24,044
Please, this way.

595
00:33:31,385 --> 00:33:32,803
That's your sweet spot.

596
00:33:32,887 --> 00:33:36,015
This central chamber scrubs the
co2 from your artificial atmosphere

597
00:33:36,098 --> 00:33:38,451
and redistributes it as breathable
air to the rest of the ship.

598
00:33:38,475 --> 00:33:41,562
You get a sufficiently large canister
of retrovirus into that central chamber,

599
00:33:41,645 --> 00:33:44,023
the whole ship will be
affected simultaneously.

600
00:33:44,106 --> 00:33:46,525
Getting to this location
without arousing suspicion

601
00:33:46,609 --> 00:33:47,943
will be very difficult.

602
00:33:48,944 --> 00:33:52,239
I'm sure it will be, but we
can't really help you with that.

603
00:33:52,448 --> 00:33:54,325
Although the colonel
and I have come up

604
00:33:54,408 --> 00:33:56,202
with a way to test that theory.

605
00:33:56,285 --> 00:33:57,578
Step one.

606
00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:59,830
We find another enemy hive

607
00:33:59,914 --> 00:34:02,374
and jump to a location
just out of its sensor range.

608
00:34:02,458 --> 00:34:03,898
Step two.
The daedalus takes position

609
00:34:03,959 --> 00:34:05,377
in close proximity to your hive,

610
00:34:05,461 --> 00:34:07,254
essentially merging
with your scan patterns

611
00:34:07,338 --> 00:34:09,506
rendering it practically
invisible to enemy sensors.

612
00:34:09,590 --> 00:34:12,092
McKay: Step three.
Using sublight systems,

613
00:34:12,176 --> 00:34:15,054
our ships approach the
target hive for whatever reason.

614
00:34:15,137 --> 00:34:16,531
I'm sure you can
come up with something.

615
00:34:16,555 --> 00:34:19,395
Step four. Now that the daedalus
can use its beaming technology again...

616
00:34:19,433 --> 00:34:21,227
Which would be thanks to...

617
00:34:21,977 --> 00:34:24,605
Anyway, once we get in range,

618
00:34:24,688 --> 00:34:28,067
we can beam a canister into
the co2 chamber and, boom,

619
00:34:28,901 --> 00:34:30,861
one hive ship de-wraithified.

620
00:34:33,322 --> 00:34:34,782
Unacceptable.

621
00:34:35,616 --> 00:34:36,659
Excuse me?

622
00:34:37,409 --> 00:34:39,912
This plan keeps us
completely reliant on you

623
00:34:39,995 --> 00:34:41,914
to disseminate the retrovirus.

624
00:34:41,997 --> 00:34:45,417
It's meant to be a test to see if
the gas works in the first place.

625
00:34:45,501 --> 00:34:49,338
If it does, you can come up
with some other way to deliver it.

626
00:34:54,677 --> 00:34:56,011
Very well.

627
00:34:57,137 --> 00:34:59,265
I'll transmit the coordinates
to our new target

628
00:34:59,348 --> 00:35:01,267
as soon as I return to the hive.

629
00:35:01,350 --> 00:35:03,602
We'll leave
as soon as you are ready.

630
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,821
What's a girl like her
do for fun?

631
00:35:15,322 --> 00:35:18,033
I should be on that hive
when we do this.

632
00:35:18,701 --> 00:35:20,244
Excuserne? Really?

633
00:35:20,327 --> 00:35:21,912
I know it's
uncharacteristically brave,

634
00:35:21,996 --> 00:35:24,876
but I've hacked a lot of their systems
under the guise of repairing them.

635
00:35:24,957 --> 00:35:27,394
I've convinced them that I should
be there to supervise their systems

636
00:35:27,418 --> 00:35:28,460
if anything goes wrong.

637
00:35:28,544 --> 00:35:30,629
And they agreed to this? Yes.

638
00:35:30,713 --> 00:35:33,173
Plus, now we can freely
beam stuff on and off their ships.

639
00:35:33,257 --> 00:35:35,694
I've written a program that'll
immediately beam me out of there

640
00:35:35,718 --> 00:35:38,554
the second I activate
this emergency transponder.

641
00:35:40,764 --> 00:35:41,964
You're sure you wanna do this?

642
00:35:42,016 --> 00:35:43,517
Of course I don't wanna do it.

643
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,811
I just...
I think it should be done.

644
00:35:46,020 --> 00:35:47,646
Ronon goes along.

645
00:35:47,730 --> 00:35:49,273
I wouldn't have
it any other way.

646
00:35:49,356 --> 00:35:50,816
And I'd like you
on the daedalus.

647
00:35:50,899 --> 00:35:52,318
No place I'd rather be.

648
00:35:52,401 --> 00:35:54,737
Okay, good. Let's get this done.

649
00:35:55,029 --> 00:35:58,032
I'm about ready for our
house guests toleave.

650
00:36:07,458 --> 00:36:09,251
(Mumbling)

651
00:36:10,377 --> 00:36:12,087
Hey, is your terminal...

652
00:36:13,088 --> 00:36:14,423
(Muttering)

653
00:36:14,882 --> 00:36:16,675
You need to see this.

654
00:36:20,596 --> 00:36:21,847
Oh, no.

655
00:36:22,973 --> 00:36:24,850
Tell me the daedalus
has not left yet.

656
00:36:32,858 --> 00:36:34,485
Are we there yet?

657
00:36:34,568 --> 00:36:36,880
Do you have any idea how difficult
these maneuvers are gonna be?

658
00:36:36,904 --> 00:36:38,530
I'm guessing really difficult.

659
00:36:38,614 --> 00:36:40,467
Yeah, we're gonna be flying
so close to that hive ship,

660
00:36:40,491 --> 00:36:42,284
you'll be able to
reach out and touch it.

661
00:36:42,368 --> 00:36:45,204
I'm gonna insist on a few practice
runs before we approach the enemy.

662
00:36:45,287 --> 00:36:46,955
I'm sure they're fine with that.

663
00:36:47,039 --> 00:36:48,624
Coming out of hyperspace.

664
00:36:49,333 --> 00:36:51,585
Now get McKay on
the radio. I wanna...

665
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,212
(Crew clamoring)

666
00:36:53,295 --> 00:36:54,838
(Alarm beeping)

667
00:36:55,089 --> 00:36:56,632
Shields to maximum!

668
00:36:56,757 --> 00:36:59,093
Decks 1 to 7 in the forward
section have decompressed

669
00:36:59,176 --> 00:37:00,256
and are venting atmosphere.

670
00:37:00,302 --> 00:37:03,055
Seal off those sections. Get a
damage control team down there.

671
00:37:03,138 --> 00:37:04,473
(Explosions)

672
00:37:04,556 --> 00:37:05,766
Who's firing on us?

673
00:37:05,849 --> 00:37:08,268
I have two hive ships bearing
down on our position, sir.

674
00:37:08,352 --> 00:37:10,187
One of them is the friendly.

675
00:37:10,854 --> 00:37:12,189
Not so friendly.

676
00:37:12,272 --> 00:37:14,274
All main weapons,
fire at will on both ships.

677
00:37:14,358 --> 00:37:17,653
Hermiod, stand by to beam
warheads to the nearest hive ship.

678
00:37:17,820 --> 00:37:19,363
It doesn't make any sense.

679
00:37:19,446 --> 00:37:20,948
Why break the alliance now?

680
00:37:21,031 --> 00:37:23,134
They don't even have the gas
aboard their ship, we do.

681
00:37:23,158 --> 00:37:25,202
That's not my concern right now.

682
00:37:29,164 --> 00:37:30,999
Colonel Caldwell,
this is hermiod.

683
00:37:31,083 --> 00:37:33,085
The warheads are
ready to deploy.

684
00:37:33,168 --> 00:37:35,212
Standby till
we reach optimal range.

685
00:37:35,295 --> 00:37:37,649
You gotta give McKay and ronon
time to beam back aboard first.

686
00:37:37,673 --> 00:37:40,008
They've got until we reach
weapons deployment range.

687
00:37:40,092 --> 00:37:42,445
If they can't activate their
emergency transceivers by then,

688
00:37:42,469 --> 00:37:44,638
there's nothing
we can do about it.

689
00:37:55,691 --> 00:37:58,777
What was that?
Activate your transceiver.

690
00:38:00,404 --> 00:38:01,613
Oh, no.

691
00:38:02,030 --> 00:38:03,574
(Both grunting)

692
00:38:07,035 --> 00:38:08,203
What are you doing?

693
00:38:08,287 --> 00:38:10,456
I am sorry, Dr. McKay.

694
00:38:10,539 --> 00:38:13,876
There has been
a change in plans.

695
00:38:19,298 --> 00:38:20,591
It's time.

696
00:38:21,383 --> 00:38:22,759
Give them a few more seconds.

697
00:38:22,843 --> 00:38:24,195
I'm sorry, colonel,
I can't do that.

698
00:38:24,219 --> 00:38:26,763
Hermiod, deploy warheads
when ready.

699
00:38:27,222 --> 00:38:29,933
Colonel Caldwell, Dr. McKay's
code has failed to breach

700
00:38:30,017 --> 00:38:31,393
the wraith countermeasures.

701
00:38:31,477 --> 00:38:34,062
I'm attempting
another series of codes.

702
00:38:34,146 --> 00:38:35,606
Work as fast as you can.

703
00:38:35,689 --> 00:38:37,399
This shield ain't
gonna hold up forever.

704
00:38:38,150 --> 00:38:40,336
With some 302s, we might be
able to take out the hyperdrive,

705
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:41,403
save us some time.

706
00:38:41,487 --> 00:38:42,779
Do it.

707
00:38:43,906 --> 00:38:45,616
Shields are at 60%.

708
00:38:52,748 --> 00:38:54,333
Sheppard: Dagger 2, on my lead.

709
00:38:54,416 --> 00:38:56,686
Get ready to hit their stardrive
where the hull is thinnest.

710
00:38:56,710 --> 00:38:57,836
Woman: I've got incoming.

711
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,173
Daggers 3 and 4, try to
keep these darts off our 6.

712
00:39:17,648 --> 00:39:20,484
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on.
We're supposed to be allies.

713
00:39:20,567 --> 00:39:21,568
(Grunts)

714
00:39:22,402 --> 00:39:25,906
I'm afraid the alliance
has been dissolved.

715
00:39:25,989 --> 00:39:29,034
Do you have any idea how much
work I have put into all of this?

716
00:39:31,161 --> 00:39:33,330
I haven't slept in 36 hours.

717
00:39:34,081 --> 00:39:36,458
Perhaps it is better
if you rest.

718
00:39:44,508 --> 00:39:46,093
Shields are under 20%.

719
00:39:46,176 --> 00:39:47,719
Hermiod, what do you got for me?

720
00:39:47,803 --> 00:39:50,305
I cannot guarantee
that I will be able to defeat

721
00:39:50,389 --> 00:39:52,766
the wraith countermeasures
in sufficient time.

722
00:39:52,849 --> 00:39:54,744
Colonel Sheppard, get
your flight back to the ship.

723
00:39:54,768 --> 00:39:56,648
We need to jump out of here
as soon as possible.

724
00:39:57,980 --> 00:40:00,649
Sheppard: Two minutes, I
can shut down their hyperdrive.

725
00:40:00,816 --> 00:40:03,860
Unless you can shut down their
weapons, it's not gonna do us much good.

726
00:40:04,152 --> 00:40:05,571
(Beeping)

727
00:40:06,446 --> 00:40:07,531
Damn it.

728
00:40:14,746 --> 00:40:16,206
Sheppard?

729
00:40:17,666 --> 00:40:18,834
Sheppard?

730
00:40:18,917 --> 00:40:20,168
Not getting anything, sir.

731
00:40:21,670 --> 00:40:23,380
Prepare to jump on my Mark.

732
00:40:23,463 --> 00:40:26,174
Sir, the hives are opening
hyperspace windows.

733
00:40:43,650 --> 00:40:45,569
Why the hell did they do that?

734
00:40:45,861 --> 00:40:48,280
Three of our 302s are
returning to daedalus, sir.

735
00:40:48,363 --> 00:40:50,616
Sheppard? His fighter
isn't one of them.

736
00:40:50,699 --> 00:40:54,119
The only contacts I have
on-screen are wreckage.

737
00:40:54,202 --> 00:40:56,121
What about his locator beacon?

738
00:40:56,204 --> 00:40:57,831
No, nothing, sir.

739
00:40:58,332 --> 00:40:59,916
He's just gone.

740
00:41:02,544 --> 00:41:04,004
Understood.

741
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,842
Set course for Atlantis.

742
00:41:11,219 --> 00:41:12,596
We got hacked.

743
00:41:12,679 --> 00:41:13,959
Within the hive ship's
schematics

744
00:41:14,014 --> 00:41:15,474
was a worm-like computer virus.

745
00:41:15,557 --> 00:41:16,975
Your people went over the data.

746
00:41:17,059 --> 00:41:18,602
I know, we thought it was clean.

747
00:41:18,685 --> 00:41:20,979
But this virus was
entirely different.

748
00:41:21,063 --> 00:41:22,147
What did it do?

749
00:41:22,230 --> 00:41:24,149
It very selectively
probed our systems

750
00:41:24,232 --> 00:41:26,526
without damaging them
or exposing itself.

751
00:41:26,610 --> 00:41:29,450
I don't understand. If you didn't
find it and it didn't reveal itself...

752
00:41:29,488 --> 00:41:31,323
Once the hive left Atlantis,

753
00:41:31,406 --> 00:41:34,826
the worm began to destroy all
of the data they had sent down.

754
00:41:34,910 --> 00:41:37,329
Then this was their plan
all along.

755
00:41:38,914 --> 00:41:39,998
What did they get?

756
00:41:40,082 --> 00:41:42,101
Zelenka: This is one of
the reasons we didn't detect it.

757
00:41:42,125 --> 00:41:44,711
They only uploaded
two pieces of information.

758
00:41:45,045 --> 00:41:47,255
One, the Aurora mission reports.

759
00:41:48,215 --> 00:41:50,759
Okay, and two?

760
00:41:53,178 --> 00:41:55,681
The location of every world
in our database.

761
00:42:09,152 --> 00:42:10,445
You okay?

762
00:42:11,780 --> 00:42:13,782
(Panting)

763
00:42:14,116 --> 00:42:18,245
No. No, I think this is the
most not okay I have ever been.

764
00:42:21,081 --> 00:42:23,041
I see you have awakened.

765
00:42:23,125 --> 00:42:24,543
Really?

766
00:42:24,626 --> 00:42:27,170
I was sort of hoping
this was just a nightmare.

767
00:42:27,254 --> 00:42:28,964
Why aren't we dead?

768
00:42:29,589 --> 00:42:32,050
The queen wants you
to live long enough

769
00:42:32,134 --> 00:42:34,636
to witness
the fruits of your labor.

770
00:42:35,262 --> 00:42:37,556
If it wasn't for you, Dr. McKay,

771
00:42:37,639 --> 00:42:40,142
we'd never have
been able to get there.

772
00:42:40,475 --> 00:42:42,769
What are you talking about?
Get where?

773
00:42:44,855 --> 00:42:45,981
Earth.

774
00:43:32,861 --> 00:43:33,862
