1
00:00:02,503 --> 00:00:05,131
Previously on Stargate Atlantis.
2
00:00:06,757 --> 00:00:10,428
I believe you refer to our enemy
as the Replicators.
3
00:00:11,554 --> 00:00:14,807
They have begun
to annihilate human worlds.
4
00:00:15,516 --> 00:00:16,684
We need to know if you can shutdown
5
00:00:16,767 --> 00:00:18,436
the Replicator attack code on your own.
6
00:00:18,519 --> 00:00:21,272
I've been looking into that,
and it's not very promising.
7
00:00:21,606 --> 00:00:25,193
But with this Wraith's help,
you think you could do it?
8
00:00:25,443 --> 00:00:27,195
- Take this.
- What's this?
9
00:00:27,278 --> 00:00:30,072
It's the core drive of the ship's
tracking system.
10
00:00:30,156 --> 00:00:32,116
If this works, we should be able to track
11
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,703
every Aurora-class Replicator
ship in the galaxy in real time.
12
00:00:38,706 --> 00:00:39,999
My duplicate did say
they were building more.
13
00:00:41,375 --> 00:00:42,627
A lot more.
14
00:00:46,964 --> 00:00:48,299
Don't worry, we're ahead of schedule.
15
00:00:48,382 --> 00:00:49,592
I know.
16
00:00:49,675 --> 00:00:52,011
All the settlements we've been
assigned have been evacuated.
17
00:00:52,094 --> 00:00:53,930
I know, I know, it's just that
18
00:00:54,013 --> 00:00:55,932
most of the planets that are
in the Replicators' path
19
00:00:56,015 --> 00:00:58,351
are people that we've had
almost no contact with,
20
00:00:58,434 --> 00:01:00,811
so I need you and Teyla
out there as much as possible.
21
00:01:00,895 --> 00:01:02,063
Yeah, well, I think it might be the flu.
22
00:01:02,146 --> 00:01:05,066
She's been looking
a little green lately.
23
00:01:05,608 --> 00:01:07,235
I'm fine.
24
00:01:07,318 --> 00:01:09,362
Where are we going to now?
25
00:01:09,445 --> 00:01:11,197
M9R-373.
26
00:01:11,572 --> 00:01:14,867
The Massanians.
This should be interesting.
27
00:01:14,951 --> 00:01:16,494
Look, I'm sorry we're
having to go out so much.
28
00:01:16,577 --> 00:01:18,454
I know you don't feel so hot,
29
00:01:18,537 --> 00:01:21,082
but you're the one with all
the contacts out there, so...
30
00:01:21,165 --> 00:01:23,417
It's all right.
I'm feeling much better now.
31
00:01:23,501 --> 00:01:25,920
Offworld activation!
32
00:01:29,507 --> 00:01:32,176
Must be Lieutenant Kemp's team.
33
00:01:33,761 --> 00:01:35,012
Receiving video transmission.
34
00:01:35,096 --> 00:01:36,847
Coming in now, Colonel.
35
00:01:42,853 --> 00:01:45,273
Lieutenant, looks like
things are going well.
36
00:01:45,356 --> 00:01:47,275
Most of the settlements
are on their way through,
37
00:01:47,358 --> 00:01:49,860
but a good number of them
have decided to stay behind.
38
00:01:49,986 --> 00:01:51,988
I'm not sure they believe us, sir.
39
00:01:52,071 --> 00:01:53,364
I'm requesting Teyla
come back and try to
40
00:01:53,447 --> 00:01:54,782
talk some sense into the stragglers,
41
00:01:54,865 --> 00:01:56,450
'cause I'm not getting
anywhere with them.
42
00:01:56,534 --> 00:01:58,661
Well, I don't think we can do that.
43
00:01:58,744 --> 00:02:00,871
The Replicator ship's going
to be there within a half hour.
44
00:02:00,955 --> 00:02:03,457
Well, I don't know what to do. They...
45
00:02:03,541 --> 00:02:04,709
Incoming!
46
00:02:06,377 --> 00:02:08,629
It's too late.
They're already here!
47
00:02:08,713 --> 00:02:10,339
Lieutenant, get your men
through the gate!
48
00:02:10,423 --> 00:02:12,591
I can't. There's too many people...
49
00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:15,177
We lost the transmission.
50
00:02:15,261 --> 00:02:16,846
Dial him back.
51
00:02:19,932 --> 00:02:21,017
I can't get a lock.
52
00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:22,393
They must've taken out the gate.
53
00:02:22,518 --> 00:02:24,186
How many people were
left on that settlement?
54
00:02:24,270 --> 00:02:26,063
Just under 2,000.
55
00:03:43,808 --> 00:03:45,893
Both ships at the same time.
This is a first.
56
00:03:46,352 --> 00:03:49,146
It's the first time we've needed them.
57
00:03:50,106 --> 00:03:52,191
Well, since I've been here.
58
00:03:57,321 --> 00:03:58,739
- Colonel.
- Colonel.
59
00:03:58,823 --> 00:04:00,282
- Colonel.
- Colonels.
60
00:04:00,366 --> 00:04:02,159
- Colonel.
- Colonels.
61
00:04:02,701 --> 00:04:04,078
Seriously?
62
00:04:04,787 --> 00:04:05,913
Good flight?
63
00:04:05,996 --> 00:04:06,997
Long flight.
64
00:04:07,081 --> 00:04:08,332
We'll make it worth your while.
65
00:04:08,416 --> 00:04:09,542
That's what I hear.
66
00:04:09,667 --> 00:04:11,544
You have a way of tracking
the Replicator ships?
67
00:04:11,669 --> 00:04:12,753
We do.
68
00:04:12,837 --> 00:04:14,338
That'll make finding and
destroying them a lot easier.
69
00:04:14,422 --> 00:04:17,258
Why don't you come into my office?
We'll get you briefed.
70
00:04:19,718 --> 00:04:23,180
It is this recent discovery
of the essential duality
71
00:04:23,264 --> 00:04:25,266
of this particular stem
of the nano sub-code
72
00:04:25,349 --> 00:04:29,353
that has opened up a whole world
of possibilities when it comes to the expedient
73
00:04:29,437 --> 00:04:31,856
and permanent deactivation
of the internanite bonds.
74
00:04:31,939 --> 00:04:33,023
Rodney...
75
00:04:33,107 --> 00:04:35,192
Yeah, I'll let you know when I'm ready
to take questions, thank you.
76
00:04:35,276 --> 00:04:38,195
Have you created an anti-Replicator
weapon or not?
77
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,823
If you just let me continue, I think
you'd have a better understanding
78
00:04:40,906 --> 00:04:42,074
of the complexity...
79
00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:43,909
Yes or no, Doctor.
80
00:04:45,202 --> 00:04:46,579
Well, no.
81
00:04:46,662 --> 00:04:48,456
All right, we move on to plan B.
82
00:04:48,539 --> 00:04:49,790
Just like that?
83
00:04:49,874 --> 00:04:52,710
The Replicators are destroying
every human colony they can find
84
00:04:52,793 --> 00:04:54,545
in an attempt to wipe out
the Wraiths' food supply.
85
00:04:54,628 --> 00:04:57,173
We can't wait.
We have to act now.
86
00:04:57,256 --> 00:04:59,633
Yeah, but plan B, it's not a good plan.
87
00:04:59,717 --> 00:05:00,801
Oh, no?
88
00:05:00,885 --> 00:05:02,303
Sure, the Apollo and
the Daedalus have been
89
00:05:02,386 --> 00:05:03,888
retrofitted with the new Asgard
90
00:05:03,971 --> 00:05:06,640
plasma beam weapon, which,
given, are very, very powerful,
91
00:05:06,724 --> 00:05:07,975
but they still can't
destroy the Replicators.
92
00:05:08,058 --> 00:05:10,478
But we don't have to destroy them,
we just destroy their ships.
93
00:05:10,561 --> 00:05:11,729
I mean, from what I understand,
94
00:05:11,812 --> 00:05:14,398
once they're exposed to the harsh
environment of space,
95
00:05:14,482 --> 00:05:16,025
they'll essentially be neutralized.
96
00:05:16,108 --> 00:05:17,693
Well, "essentially neutralized"
and "neutralized"
97
00:05:17,776 --> 00:05:19,361
are two very different things.
98
00:05:19,445 --> 00:05:21,739
Back when we blasted Niam
into space, he froze solid.
99
00:05:21,822 --> 00:05:25,075
We didn't have a problem
till we warmed him up.
100
00:05:25,159 --> 00:05:26,243
That's what I'm saying.
101
00:05:26,327 --> 00:05:29,872
Look, your way leaves
Replicator cells inactive,
102
00:05:29,955 --> 00:05:31,665
just waiting around for someone
to reactivate them.
103
00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:33,125
My way shuts them down for good.
104
00:05:33,250 --> 00:05:35,794
But our way is actually operational.
105
00:05:36,086 --> 00:05:39,507
You know, come to think of it,
what exactly is your way?
106
00:05:39,590 --> 00:05:41,842
From what I understand,
you haven't even gotten
107
00:05:41,926 --> 00:05:44,720
your programming done yet,
let alone a delivery method.
108
00:05:44,803 --> 00:05:46,514
Well, you didn't let me
finish my presentation.
109
00:05:46,597 --> 00:05:49,058
I think I got the gist of it.
110
00:05:49,141 --> 00:05:50,392
- Really?
- Rodney...
111
00:05:50,476 --> 00:05:52,269
No, no, I'm just wondering
when the Colonel here
112
00:05:52,353 --> 00:05:54,438
became a math and physics expert.
113
00:05:54,522 --> 00:05:57,608
Doctor, you came into this meeting
knowing that you had nothing,
114
00:05:57,691 --> 00:05:59,318
but instead of just
saying that like a man,
115
00:05:59,401 --> 00:06:01,028
you thought that you'd dazzle us
116
00:06:01,111 --> 00:06:03,906
with a lot of fancy talk and think
that we were too dumb to notice.
117
00:06:03,989 --> 00:06:05,199
So, now you're questioning my manhood?
118
00:06:05,282 --> 00:06:06,408
All right, that is enough!
119
00:06:06,492 --> 00:06:09,620
- No, he just told...
- Rodney, move on.
120
00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:14,708
Look, I think we've got
this tracking system down.
121
00:06:14,792 --> 00:06:17,586
We can peg where they're going
to be with a 30-minute window,
122
00:06:17,670 --> 00:06:19,797
and given current data,
we've got at least 12 hours
123
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,967
before any of their ships are
even close to an inhabited planet.
124
00:06:23,050 --> 00:06:25,219
Just give me and the Wraith,
like, 10 hours
125
00:06:25,302 --> 00:06:26,971
to get this shutdown program working.
126
00:06:27,054 --> 00:06:29,473
If I don't, then you can
just feel free to go ahead
127
00:06:29,557 --> 00:06:32,351
and open up on them
with your beam weapons.
128
00:06:32,476 --> 00:06:33,978
All right.
129
00:06:34,061 --> 00:06:35,980
You have 10 hours. Go.
130
00:06:36,981 --> 00:06:38,315
All right.
131
00:06:41,277 --> 00:06:43,195
I don't understand how you
guys put up with...
132
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,739
If you ever talk like that to someone
under my command again,
133
00:06:45,823 --> 00:06:49,326
you will not be welcome on this
base, Colonel. Is that clear?
134
00:06:51,036 --> 00:06:53,289
Yes, it is.
135
00:06:53,914 --> 00:06:55,249
Good.
136
00:06:55,332 --> 00:06:58,460
We're done here. Thank you.
137
00:06:59,753 --> 00:07:00,963
Why would you lie to them?
138
00:07:01,046 --> 00:07:02,506
I didn't lie to them.
139
00:07:02,590 --> 00:07:05,968
It is most improbable that we complete
our task within 10 hours.
140
00:07:06,051 --> 00:07:07,886
That is quitter talk.
141
00:07:07,970 --> 00:07:09,013
Look, you don't know me.
142
00:07:09,096 --> 00:07:10,931
This is when I'm at my best,
this is when I shine,
143
00:07:11,015 --> 00:07:12,057
impossible deadlines.
144
00:07:12,141 --> 00:07:13,642
I ever tell you about
the time I once got
145
00:07:13,726 --> 00:07:15,269
a damaged Ancient
hyperdrive system online
146
00:07:15,352 --> 00:07:16,729
moments before me and my crew
147
00:07:16,812 --> 00:07:18,063
were incinerated by a super volcano?
148
00:07:18,147 --> 00:07:19,690
Yes, you have.
149
00:07:19,773 --> 00:07:22,109
Well, there you go.
See, I work best under pressure.
150
00:07:22,192 --> 00:07:23,944
Then perhaps I should
threaten to feed on you
151
00:07:24,028 --> 00:07:25,904
if we do not complete
the coding in time.
152
00:07:25,988 --> 00:07:28,324
Easy, easy. He's just kidding.
153
00:07:28,699 --> 00:07:31,076
Just tell them you were joking.
154
00:07:32,661 --> 00:07:33,912
Right.
155
00:07:37,750 --> 00:07:39,752
I'll work in this area.
156
00:07:44,423 --> 00:07:46,467
Time's up.
157
00:07:46,550 --> 00:07:48,052
What, so soon?
158
00:07:48,135 --> 00:07:49,511
I guess that means you're not ready.
159
00:07:49,595 --> 00:07:50,888
Well, no, I'm not.
160
00:07:50,971 --> 00:07:52,931
Well, we're going with plan B.
You want to go for a ride?
161
00:07:53,015 --> 00:07:55,851
No, I'll stay here.
This still needs to get done.
162
00:07:55,934 --> 00:07:57,311
Good luck.
163
00:08:08,364 --> 00:08:10,699
Daedalus, this is the Apollo,
our scans are clear.
164
00:08:10,783 --> 00:08:13,661
We don't have any other contacts.
Can you confirm?
165
00:08:13,744 --> 00:08:15,371
Copy that.
We have the same reading.
166
00:08:15,454 --> 00:08:17,164
Colonel, how long before
our guest arrives?
167
00:08:17,247 --> 00:08:18,582
Should be any second now.
168
00:08:18,666 --> 00:08:20,334
Won't they be surprised.
169
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:21,960
We're going weapons hot, Apollo.
170
00:08:22,044 --> 00:08:24,088
Copy that.
We have done the same.
171
00:08:24,171 --> 00:08:26,715
I'm detecting a hyperspace
window opening.
172
00:08:27,299 --> 00:08:29,677
Stand by to fire forward beam weapons.
173
00:08:34,973 --> 00:08:36,141
Fire.
174
00:08:50,322 --> 00:08:52,366
Contact has been neutralized.
175
00:08:55,035 --> 00:08:56,954
I wish I'd had these a few years ago.
176
00:08:57,037 --> 00:08:58,205
Well, the first attack is easy.
177
00:08:58,288 --> 00:08:59,456
They didn't know we were coming.
178
00:08:59,540 --> 00:09:01,041
The Replicators have proven very
179
00:09:01,125 --> 00:09:04,294
effective in changing strategies
when faced with failure.
180
00:09:04,378 --> 00:09:06,630
Still, we took that ship down
without breaking a sweat.
181
00:09:06,714 --> 00:09:08,590
Right. One down,
182
00:09:09,341 --> 00:09:10,843
thirty-seven to go.
183
00:09:17,975 --> 00:09:19,143
Welcome back, sir.
184
00:09:19,226 --> 00:09:21,186
We were in the neighborhood.
Thought I'd stop by, resupply.
185
00:09:21,270 --> 00:09:22,354
How's it going out there?
186
00:09:22,438 --> 00:09:23,564
Splitting us up was a good call.
187
00:09:23,647 --> 00:09:25,315
The Daedalus has downed
another three ships.
188
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:28,694
Ellis got another two. That brings us to seven.
That's not bad at all.
189
00:09:28,777 --> 00:09:31,613
I'll need about an hour to get what we need,
then we'll get back out there.
190
00:09:31,697 --> 00:09:34,324
Well, there's been a little
change of plans.
191
00:09:34,408 --> 00:09:35,784
- Really?
- Yeah.
192
00:09:36,618 --> 00:09:37,786
They're falling back?
193
00:09:37,870 --> 00:09:39,037
Safety in numbers.
194
00:09:39,121 --> 00:09:41,749
Evidently, they haven't figured out
how we're tracking them and...
195
00:09:41,832 --> 00:09:43,834
Or they haven't figured out
how to stop us.
196
00:09:43,917 --> 00:09:45,836
Either way, they want
to stop losing ships.
197
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:47,504
So they're all headed back
to the Replicator homeworld.
198
00:09:47,588 --> 00:09:49,256
- That's right.
- Well, that's good.
199
00:09:49,339 --> 00:09:50,924
I mean, they're finally all in one place.
200
00:09:51,008 --> 00:09:52,593
We can wipe them out all at once.
201
00:09:52,676 --> 00:09:56,847
Ideally, yes, but our two ships
versus an entire Replicator fleet...
202
00:09:56,930 --> 00:09:59,767
Not to mention the drones
they'll be firing from the surface.
203
00:09:59,850 --> 00:10:01,852
Look, the new weapons
we have are very effective,
204
00:10:01,977 --> 00:10:04,521
but they are no match
for that kind of firepower.
205
00:10:04,646 --> 00:10:06,982
Well, sounds like the perfect
time to finally use
206
00:10:07,065 --> 00:10:09,568
that killer program
you've been working on, Doctor.
207
00:10:10,861 --> 00:10:11,945
Yeah.
208
00:10:12,029 --> 00:10:15,532
Remember when you said all you
needed was 10 hours to finish it?
209
00:10:15,699 --> 00:10:16,784
Vaguely.
210
00:10:16,867 --> 00:10:20,204
Well, it's been 10 hours and a week.
Are you finished?
211
00:10:20,370 --> 00:10:22,956
Well, I'm just, um, dotting some "I"s,
crossing some "T"s.
212
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,793
Whatever our plan is,
we need to act quickly.
213
00:10:25,876 --> 00:10:28,212
Our current intel suggests that
they're putting all their resources
214
00:10:28,295 --> 00:10:29,546
into building new ships.
215
00:10:29,630 --> 00:10:30,964
I figure we have less
than a week before
216
00:10:31,048 --> 00:10:33,801
they head back out into the galaxy,
and in much greater numbers.
217
00:10:33,884 --> 00:10:35,093
If they start traveling in packs,
218
00:10:35,177 --> 00:10:36,720
our kill rate is going
to drop drastically.
219
00:10:36,804 --> 00:10:38,347
We can't let that happen.
220
00:10:38,430 --> 00:10:40,432
We need to take them out
while they're all in one place,
221
00:10:40,516 --> 00:10:41,892
and we need to do it quickly.
222
00:10:41,975 --> 00:10:43,143
Hmm.
223
00:10:46,814 --> 00:10:49,566
Hey, I should just get back to my lab.
224
00:10:56,156 --> 00:10:58,742
Oh... I have to tell them.
225
00:10:58,826 --> 00:11:00,577
I have to tell them
we don't have anything.
226
00:11:00,661 --> 00:11:02,079
This is most troubling.
227
00:11:02,204 --> 00:11:04,331
Ellis is gonna love this.
228
00:11:04,414 --> 00:11:05,499
I don't get it.
229
00:11:05,582 --> 00:11:07,042
We tried reconfiguring
your stand-down code,
230
00:11:07,125 --> 00:11:09,336
we tried programming the nanites
to turn themselves off.
231
00:11:09,419 --> 00:11:11,004
Something should have worked.
232
00:11:11,088 --> 00:11:13,674
They are a very complex
and ingenious design.
233
00:11:13,757 --> 00:11:15,801
Yeah, well, I thought
I was ingeniouser.
234
00:11:15,884 --> 00:11:18,804
Yes, I know that's not
a word, Mr. Helpful.
235
00:11:19,972 --> 00:11:23,350
All right, look, maybe we could
figure out some way to use
236
00:11:23,433 --> 00:11:25,352
the anti-Replicator guns somehow.
237
00:11:25,435 --> 00:11:26,895
From what you have told me, they have
238
00:11:26,979 --> 00:11:28,939
almost certainly become immune to it.
239
00:11:29,022 --> 00:11:32,234
Even if they haven't, we'd still have
to get them all in one place.
240
00:11:34,069 --> 00:11:35,445
What is it?
241
00:11:37,281 --> 00:11:40,284
I think I've got my first
good idea in three weeks.
242
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,204
Hmm.
243
00:11:44,788 --> 00:11:47,708
Our old anti-Replicator technology
relied on disrupting the bonds
244
00:11:47,791 --> 00:11:49,710
between each individual nanite cell.
245
00:11:49,793 --> 00:11:52,462
They just collapsed
in a pile of dust, right?
246
00:11:52,588 --> 00:11:55,048
We're familiar with the technology, yes.
247
00:11:55,132 --> 00:11:58,552
Right, well, the thinking was always
to continue down that line,
248
00:11:58,635 --> 00:12:00,637
to break the bonds,
to turn them off,
249
00:12:00,721 --> 00:12:02,347
sever their connections
to one another,
250
00:12:02,431 --> 00:12:04,516
because dust we can deal with, right?
251
00:12:04,641 --> 00:12:06,184
Rodney...
252
00:12:06,310 --> 00:12:07,895
We do the opposite.
253
00:12:07,978 --> 00:12:09,897
Instead of severing
their connections, we significantly
254
00:12:09,980 --> 00:12:11,773
dial up their attraction
to one another.
255
00:12:11,857 --> 00:12:15,110
We turn each cell into an incredibly
powerful nanite magnet.
256
00:12:15,193 --> 00:12:17,988
You know, one cell attracts another cell,
those two attract two more,
257
00:12:18,113 --> 00:12:21,033
and as more and more nanite
cells bond to the core group,
258
00:12:21,158 --> 00:12:22,659
they become stronger
and stronger and stronger
259
00:12:22,784 --> 00:12:25,746
to the point where every Replicator
cell on the planet, in orbit,
260
00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:29,625
all of them are amassed in this
giant, super-dense blob.
261
00:12:31,168 --> 00:12:34,129
A super-dense blob?
That's your great idea?
262
00:12:34,546 --> 00:12:36,465
It is, yes, actually.
263
00:12:37,341 --> 00:12:38,884
What do we do with the blob, then?
264
00:12:39,009 --> 00:12:40,427
Aren't we in danger of creating
265
00:12:40,510 --> 00:12:43,096
some Godzilla-sized super-Replicator?
266
00:12:43,180 --> 00:12:45,140
No. At least not at first.
267
00:12:45,223 --> 00:12:47,017
Look, this is not their
normal form of bonding.
268
00:12:47,142 --> 00:12:48,644
I mean, it will take them
some time to adapt,
269
00:12:48,727 --> 00:12:50,604
to figure out how to function
within the new parameters.
270
00:12:50,687 --> 00:12:51,772
How much time?
271
00:12:51,855 --> 00:12:53,106
Well, I mean, I'd hate to speculate.
272
00:12:53,190 --> 00:12:54,524
Since when?
273
00:12:54,983 --> 00:12:57,027
Look, it doesn't matter anyways
because long before that happens,
274
00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:58,570
they're going to fuse
together so tightly,
275
00:12:58,654 --> 00:13:00,447
they will be rendered
essentially inert.
276
00:13:00,530 --> 00:13:02,783
Remember, this bond is occurring
on a subspace level...
277
00:13:02,866 --> 00:13:06,370
Which helps get them past the normal
repulsive force between nuclei...
278
00:13:06,495 --> 00:13:09,164
To the point where their electrons
are fusing with their protons,
279
00:13:09,247 --> 00:13:10,624
and once that starts
happening, they're toast.
280
00:13:10,707 --> 00:13:13,418
Yeah, but you're talking about
neutron-star levels of density.
281
00:13:13,543 --> 00:13:14,878
Precisely.
282
00:13:15,462 --> 00:13:16,463
Wow.
283
00:13:16,546 --> 00:13:20,092
It sounds crazy, but this could work.
284
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:22,344
Well, how do we make it work, then?
285
00:13:22,427 --> 00:13:25,597
Just upload a new command
into their base code?
286
00:13:26,515 --> 00:13:28,392
I have a better idea.
287
00:13:32,062 --> 00:13:33,855
- Ta-da.
- What's this?
288
00:13:33,939 --> 00:13:36,942
This... This has been in storage
since we found it a while ago.
289
00:13:37,025 --> 00:13:39,069
The Ancients used it
as part of their research
290
00:13:39,194 --> 00:13:41,905
into the creation
of human-form Replicators.
291
00:13:42,030 --> 00:13:43,448
What are you suggesting?
292
00:13:43,532 --> 00:13:45,993
We have the technology,
the understanding of nanite coding.
293
00:13:46,076 --> 00:13:47,035
I mean...
294
00:13:47,119 --> 00:13:49,496
We have the Ancients'
blueprints for crying out loud.
295
00:13:49,579 --> 00:13:51,164
You want to make your own Replicator?
296
00:13:51,248 --> 00:13:52,374
Well, not a whole one.
297
00:13:52,457 --> 00:13:55,252
Just a block of nanite cells,
say, you know, yea big,
298
00:13:55,377 --> 00:13:56,962
just enough to get the ball rolling.
299
00:13:57,087 --> 00:13:58,213
I don't know, Rodney...
300
00:13:58,296 --> 00:14:01,008
I'm not talking about creating anything
with normal Replicator abilities.
301
00:14:01,091 --> 00:14:03,593
Just a group of nanite cells
that can serve as a platform
302
00:14:03,677 --> 00:14:05,679
for us to upload the new
bonding program.
303
00:14:05,929 --> 00:14:07,514
We take it to the Replicator homeworld,
304
00:14:07,597 --> 00:14:09,558
we switch it on, we beam it
into a populated area,
305
00:14:09,641 --> 00:14:11,893
and we sit back and watch.
It couldn't be easier.
306
00:14:14,396 --> 00:14:15,856
There is the one problem.
307
00:14:15,939 --> 00:14:17,024
Only one?
308
00:14:17,107 --> 00:14:19,317
The Replicators on the planet
will be affected fairly quickly,
309
00:14:19,401 --> 00:14:21,695
but there will be a definite delay
until there's enough mass
310
00:14:21,778 --> 00:14:23,613
to attract the nanite cells in orbit.
311
00:14:23,739 --> 00:14:25,657
So those ships will have
plenty of time to escape.
312
00:14:25,782 --> 00:14:27,617
Unless we disable or destroy them.
313
00:14:27,743 --> 00:14:29,911
They have 30 ships, we have two.
314
00:14:29,995 --> 00:14:32,039
Well, if we don't disable them,
they're just going to fly away,
315
00:14:32,122 --> 00:14:33,623
lay low and replicate a new army.
316
00:14:33,707 --> 00:14:37,377
Thirty ships versus two,
it can't be done.
317
00:14:39,963 --> 00:14:41,798
We might be able to get more ships.
318
00:14:44,634 --> 00:14:48,972
Depending on what has happened
since I have been in captivity here,
319
00:14:49,306 --> 00:14:52,601
I can easily bring another
12 ships to the battle.
320
00:14:52,684 --> 00:14:55,520
Twelve ships willing to fight
shoulder-to-shoulder?
321
00:14:56,021 --> 00:14:59,399
For a chance to destroy
the Replicators once and for all,
322
00:14:59,775 --> 00:15:01,151
of course.
323
00:15:01,735 --> 00:15:03,862
This brings the odds down to 2-to-1.
324
00:15:04,654 --> 00:15:07,532
An alliance like this
must be negotiated.
325
00:15:09,534 --> 00:15:14,414
I will need to personally convince them
that this is the proper course of action.
326
00:15:38,688 --> 00:15:40,190
Sit down.
327
00:15:44,611 --> 00:15:46,404
First sign you crossed us...
328
00:15:46,530 --> 00:15:48,782
I die. I know.
329
00:16:08,718 --> 00:16:10,971
Well, this is different.
330
00:16:12,889 --> 00:16:14,933
Receiving transmission.
331
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,436
Docking instructions.
332
00:16:19,062 --> 00:16:21,606
All right, let's get this over with.
333
00:16:45,922 --> 00:16:46,882
Now what?
334
00:16:50,093 --> 00:16:51,678
You open the door.
335
00:16:56,516 --> 00:16:58,977
Perhaps we should remove these.
336
00:17:00,937 --> 00:17:04,191
I think it sends the wrong
message, don't you?
337
00:17:04,774 --> 00:17:06,526
This is a mistake.
338
00:17:07,152 --> 00:17:08,862
We need his help.
339
00:17:11,990 --> 00:17:14,326
I've got a bad feeling about this.
340
00:17:14,409 --> 00:17:17,204
Well, we're here, let's see it through.
341
00:17:24,419 --> 00:17:27,214
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Take it easy, guys...
342
00:17:45,815 --> 00:17:48,818
All right, the basic nanite
material has been formed.
343
00:17:48,902 --> 00:17:50,570
Let's see if we can
get them to interact.
344
00:17:50,654 --> 00:17:53,073
I must say, Rodney,
this is quite an ingenious idea.
345
00:17:53,156 --> 00:17:54,658
Would you expect anything less?
346
00:17:54,741 --> 00:17:55,909
Well...
347
00:17:55,992 --> 00:17:57,160
Well, what?
348
00:17:57,911 --> 00:18:00,247
- Well, you have been in a bit of a rut lately.
- I have not.
349
00:18:00,330 --> 00:18:01,539
Okay, like, a dry spell maybe.
350
00:18:01,623 --> 00:18:02,874
- That is not true.
- Okay.
351
00:18:02,958 --> 00:18:05,377
- It's not.
- Okay! Okay.
352
00:18:05,460 --> 00:18:08,964
Now, are we certain that these nanites
will not go beyond simple cohesion?
353
00:18:09,047 --> 00:18:11,132
Of course. I've disabled
most of the normal protocols.
354
00:18:11,216 --> 00:18:14,427
They won't be able to do anything
beyond form a simple block.
355
00:18:14,511 --> 00:18:16,137
All right, here we go.
356
00:18:22,811 --> 00:18:24,437
It worked.
You did it, Rodney.
357
00:18:24,521 --> 00:18:26,439
- Naturally.
- McKay is back!
358
00:18:26,523 --> 00:18:27,899
Would you stop that?
I was never gone.
359
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,612
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute,
we've got a problem.
360
00:18:32,696 --> 00:18:35,198
The cells aren't
communicating properly.
361
00:18:40,620 --> 00:18:42,289
This could be tougher than I thought.
362
00:18:42,372 --> 00:18:44,958
And I don't want to hear
you say anything.
363
00:19:03,810 --> 00:19:05,103
Be calm.
364
00:19:08,231 --> 00:19:09,399
Here.
365
00:19:10,525 --> 00:19:12,235
What the hell's going on?
366
00:19:12,319 --> 00:19:17,198
Apparently, my fellow Wraith wanted
to speak to me without you being around.
367
00:19:17,282 --> 00:19:22,454
Well, they might have just politely
asked us to stay in the Jumper.
368
00:19:22,537 --> 00:19:26,333
Come, now, you would never
have let me leave your sight.
369
00:19:26,416 --> 00:19:29,044
Well, we'll never know now, will we?
370
00:19:33,173 --> 00:19:34,883
We have a deal.
371
00:19:35,675 --> 00:19:37,927
Seven hives will join us in the fight.
372
00:19:38,011 --> 00:19:39,804
Seven? You said 12.
373
00:19:40,138 --> 00:19:43,224
Not all of them were convinced
that the mission was achievable.
374
00:19:43,308 --> 00:19:46,269
Plus, many of our ships
are without queens.
375
00:19:46,770 --> 00:19:49,856
We'd be unable to create
new soldiers should they fall.
376
00:19:49,939 --> 00:19:51,775
If you'd prefer none...
377
00:19:51,858 --> 00:19:53,568
All right, seven.
378
00:19:58,490 --> 00:20:00,241
How did I wake up before Ronon?
379
00:20:00,325 --> 00:20:02,410
We had to stun him several times.
380
00:20:03,995 --> 00:20:07,540
I thought it would be best
that you were awake before he was.
381
00:20:07,874 --> 00:20:09,751
Probably a good idea.
382
00:20:13,630 --> 00:20:15,048
Are we in space?
383
00:20:15,131 --> 00:20:16,674
The hives have already left.
384
00:20:16,758 --> 00:20:20,136
They jettisoned your ship before
they jumped into hyperspace.
385
00:20:20,220 --> 00:20:24,265
Anything else happen while we were
unconscious that I should know about?
386
00:20:24,808 --> 00:20:28,311
I must return to Atlantis to help
Dr. McKay complete our plan.
387
00:20:33,316 --> 00:20:35,735
Help me wake them up
and we'll get out of here.
388
00:20:40,907 --> 00:20:43,993
All right, looking good.
389
00:20:44,577 --> 00:20:46,830
Rodney, it's being held
together by a force field.
390
00:20:46,955 --> 00:20:48,623
I know. I just wanted
to give the cells time
391
00:20:48,706 --> 00:20:50,333
to establish their own
internal cohesion.
392
00:20:50,458 --> 00:20:55,004
Now we drop the field and
they should hold together.
393
00:20:56,005 --> 00:20:58,258
Not bad, not bad.
394
00:20:58,341 --> 00:21:00,093
Structure's intact.
395
00:21:00,176 --> 00:21:01,970
Bonds are holding.
396
00:21:09,185 --> 00:21:10,520
Damn it.
397
00:21:10,603 --> 00:21:11,604
It's no use, Rodney.
398
00:21:11,688 --> 00:21:14,149
You've disabled too many
of the cells' basic protocols.
399
00:21:14,232 --> 00:21:15,775
It was never designed
to work this way.
400
00:21:15,859 --> 00:21:18,361
In that case, there's only
one thing we can do.
401
00:21:18,445 --> 00:21:19,612
Dr. Zelenka?
402
00:21:19,696 --> 00:21:20,822
Yes?
403
00:21:20,905 --> 00:21:22,866
They need to see you
right away in Section 7.
404
00:21:22,949 --> 00:21:24,909
We're having some power
problems in the infirmary.
405
00:21:26,202 --> 00:21:27,495
I should go.
This won't take too long.
406
00:21:27,579 --> 00:21:28,705
Is it all right if I...
407
00:21:28,788 --> 00:21:31,458
Just go, go. You're probably
holding me back anyway.
408
00:21:43,094 --> 00:21:44,804
Ronon, let it go.
409
00:21:46,014 --> 00:21:49,517
Take it as a compliment.
They were afraid of you.
410
00:21:51,352 --> 00:21:52,896
Dial the gate.
411
00:21:56,483 --> 00:21:58,902
I'm detecting a hyperspace
window forming.
412
00:21:58,985 --> 00:22:01,154
Your guys forget something?
413
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,707
It's an ancestral warship.
414
00:22:12,790 --> 00:22:14,918
Replicators. Dial the gate.
415
00:22:15,001 --> 00:22:16,377
How did they find us?
416
00:22:16,461 --> 00:22:17,795
I have an idea.
417
00:22:17,879 --> 00:22:19,631
You are mistaken.
418
00:22:19,714 --> 00:22:20,965
Receiving transmission.
419
00:22:21,049 --> 00:22:22,258
What?
420
00:22:22,342 --> 00:22:25,553
Sheppard, that better not be you.
421
00:22:25,637 --> 00:22:26,888
Larrin?
422
00:22:28,306 --> 00:22:30,308
What the hell are you doing here?
423
00:22:30,391 --> 00:22:32,060
What the hell are you doing here?
424
00:22:32,143 --> 00:22:34,646
We picked up on seven hives
orbiting a single planet.
425
00:22:34,729 --> 00:22:36,231
Seemed like something
big was going down,
426
00:22:36,314 --> 00:22:39,108
so I thought we'd stop
and do a little intel.
427
00:22:39,192 --> 00:22:40,610
Yeah, well, you just missed them.
428
00:22:40,693 --> 00:22:42,070
I see that.
429
00:22:42,153 --> 00:22:43,947
Now, tell me, what are
you doing here?
430
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:47,784
And better yet, why didn't those
hives destroy your puny little ship?
431
00:22:48,618 --> 00:22:52,205
I take great offense to that,
but those are all good questions,
432
00:22:52,288 --> 00:22:54,415
so we should talk.
433
00:22:55,041 --> 00:22:58,294
Yes, we should. Use Bay 3.
434
00:22:59,546 --> 00:23:01,422
Better her than Replicators, right?
435
00:23:01,506 --> 00:23:04,133
Let's see what kind of mood she's in.
436
00:23:11,683 --> 00:23:13,184
Larrin.
437
00:23:14,435 --> 00:23:15,895
That Wraith better be a prisoner.
438
00:23:15,979 --> 00:23:17,855
Now, look, I know how it looks.
439
00:23:17,939 --> 00:23:19,065
Kill it.
440
00:23:19,148 --> 00:23:20,275
Whoa, hey, hey, hey!
No, no, no.
441
00:23:20,358 --> 00:23:22,068
No killing, okay?
442
00:23:22,151 --> 00:23:24,571
Just... Just hear me out.
443
00:23:25,780 --> 00:23:29,075
So, the idea is to keep the Replicator
ships from leaving orbit
444
00:23:29,158 --> 00:23:32,996
until this McKay guy can suck
them back down to the planet?
445
00:23:33,454 --> 00:23:35,498
Couldn't have put it better myself.
446
00:23:35,582 --> 00:23:37,625
And since you only have two ships...
447
00:23:37,709 --> 00:23:39,085
We need the Wraiths to help.
448
00:23:39,168 --> 00:23:40,169
Hmm.
449
00:23:40,253 --> 00:23:42,589
We figure the Replicators
have close to 30 ships
450
00:23:42,672 --> 00:23:43,715
guarding the surface.
451
00:23:43,798 --> 00:23:45,633
The Wraith bring another
seven to the fight.
452
00:23:45,717 --> 00:23:46,884
Still not very good odds.
453
00:23:46,968 --> 00:23:50,013
No, no, but unless we, I don't know,
454
00:23:50,096 --> 00:23:53,224
meet someone with access
to ships, it will have to do.
455
00:23:55,393 --> 00:23:57,145
One of the planets we trade with was
456
00:23:57,228 --> 00:23:59,105
completely wiped out a few weeks ago.
457
00:23:59,314 --> 00:24:02,233
We thought it was the Wraith,
but it didn't fit.
458
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,194
They weren't culled,
they were leveled.
459
00:24:05,695 --> 00:24:07,155
Replicators.
460
00:24:08,031 --> 00:24:10,158
The last time we worked together,
461
00:24:10,241 --> 00:24:12,493
I said I'd let you keep a few secrets.
462
00:24:14,162 --> 00:24:15,872
But not anymore.
463
00:24:15,955 --> 00:24:19,208
If we do this, we go all the way.
464
00:24:19,292 --> 00:24:20,960
No holding back.
465
00:24:23,046 --> 00:24:24,922
All right.
466
00:24:25,548 --> 00:24:28,760
Look, your ship is still a mess.
467
00:24:29,594 --> 00:24:31,763
We have scientists that have
the Ancient gene.
468
00:24:31,846 --> 00:24:34,098
Maybe they can
help you soup it up.
469
00:24:35,475 --> 00:24:38,353
Well, I'll have to talk
to our governing council,
470
00:24:38,436 --> 00:24:40,480
but even if they agree to move forward,
471
00:24:40,563 --> 00:24:42,398
it'll be up to the individual
ship captains
472
00:24:42,482 --> 00:24:44,275
if they want to join us or not.
473
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,820
And fighting alongside the Wraith
isn't going to be popular.
474
00:24:47,945 --> 00:24:50,615
Well, we know how
persuasive you can be.
475
00:24:50,698 --> 00:24:52,325
I'll start making the calls.
476
00:24:52,408 --> 00:24:53,743
Oh, great.
477
00:24:54,327 --> 00:24:56,954
This is all working out
for the best, it's...
478
00:24:57,038 --> 00:25:00,083
Except for the part where
I'm still tied up, Larrin.
479
00:25:01,459 --> 00:25:02,710
Larrin?
480
00:25:09,092 --> 00:25:12,136
You and I have two very different
definitions of "This won't take too long."
481
00:25:12,220 --> 00:25:13,304
I know. I'm really sorry.
482
00:25:13,388 --> 00:25:14,555
The naquahdah generator in Section 7
483
00:25:14,639 --> 00:25:17,266
is giving us all sorts
of trouble, but it's fixed now.
484
00:25:17,350 --> 00:25:18,851
I'm all yours.
What would you like to try now?
485
00:25:18,935 --> 00:25:21,938
Actually, unencumbered by the continual
need to explain things to you,
486
00:25:22,021 --> 00:25:23,231
I've actually made remarkable progress.
487
00:25:23,314 --> 00:25:24,440
- Oh, really?
- Mmm.
488
00:25:24,524 --> 00:25:25,692
The systems Ancients had in place
489
00:25:25,775 --> 00:25:28,528
were designed to create fully-functional
humanoid replicants, right?
490
00:25:28,653 --> 00:25:30,530
- Yes.
- Well, turns out that trying to create
491
00:25:30,613 --> 00:25:33,533
something much simpler is,
ironically, much more difficult.
492
00:25:33,616 --> 00:25:35,868
In the end, I was forced to compromise.
493
00:25:35,952 --> 00:25:37,370
Wait, you're not suggesting that...
494
00:25:37,453 --> 00:25:38,538
I know it wasn't part of the plan,
495
00:25:38,621 --> 00:25:40,707
but it was either this or nothing.
496
00:25:47,672 --> 00:25:48,881
Hello.
497
00:25:54,679 --> 00:25:56,013
Oh, my.
498
00:26:06,816 --> 00:26:09,110
I'm gonna check on McKay,
see if he made any progress.
499
00:26:09,193 --> 00:26:10,653
I must go see Dr. Keller.
500
00:26:10,737 --> 00:26:11,779
Why's that?
501
00:26:11,863 --> 00:26:13,072
I was stunned.
502
00:26:13,156 --> 00:26:15,074
We get stunned all the time.
Shake it off.
503
00:26:15,158 --> 00:26:17,243
The circumstances are different.
504
00:26:17,326 --> 00:26:18,578
How so?
505
00:26:21,956 --> 00:26:23,833
I'm carrying a child.
506
00:26:25,001 --> 00:26:26,419
You're what?
507
00:26:29,005 --> 00:26:30,840
I'm pregnant, John.
508
00:26:32,216 --> 00:26:33,843
Is this a joke?
509
00:26:35,094 --> 00:26:36,471
Don't look at me.
510
00:26:36,554 --> 00:26:38,264
It just happened.
511
00:26:38,598 --> 00:26:40,850
I didn't know you were seeing anyone.
512
00:26:40,933 --> 00:26:43,102
It is no one from Atlantis.
513
00:26:44,896 --> 00:26:47,857
How far along are you?
514
00:26:48,399 --> 00:26:50,276
About three months.
515
00:26:51,027 --> 00:26:52,236
Three.
516
00:26:53,112 --> 00:26:54,822
How long have you known?
517
00:26:54,906 --> 00:26:56,532
- Just under two.
- Two.
518
00:26:56,616 --> 00:27:00,453
We've been...
You let me put you out in the field
519
00:27:00,536 --> 00:27:02,872
when you've known you were
three-months pregnant?
520
00:27:02,955 --> 00:27:04,373
I tried to tell you.
521
00:27:04,457 --> 00:27:06,000
You didn't try hard enough.
522
00:27:06,083 --> 00:27:07,960
I am more than capable of...
523
00:27:08,044 --> 00:27:09,337
You got stunned today.
524
00:27:09,420 --> 00:27:11,464
Do you have any idea what kind
of effect that has?
525
00:27:12,381 --> 00:27:15,426
Athosian woman remain very
active in the community...
526
00:27:15,551 --> 00:27:17,261
This is different.
527
00:27:18,471 --> 00:27:20,431
We get shot at, beat up, stunned...
528
00:27:20,556 --> 00:27:23,184
We take a chance every time
we walk through the gate.
529
00:27:23,267 --> 00:27:24,268
John...
530
00:27:24,352 --> 00:27:27,522
As of this second, you are
relieved from active duty.
531
00:27:31,776 --> 00:27:32,985
Hey.
532
00:27:34,070 --> 00:27:35,738
Congratulations.
533
00:27:36,239 --> 00:27:37,406
Kanaan is the father?
534
00:27:37,490 --> 00:27:38,658
You knew that we were...
535
00:27:38,741 --> 00:27:41,410
I could tell.
The way you talked about him.
536
00:27:43,621 --> 00:27:46,082
Yes, he is the father.
537
00:27:47,250 --> 00:27:48,835
I'm sorry.
538
00:27:48,918 --> 00:27:50,586
I will find him.
539
00:27:51,629 --> 00:27:53,339
He is still alive, I feel it.
540
00:27:53,422 --> 00:27:56,676
We'll find him.
Together. I promise.
541
00:27:58,803 --> 00:28:01,722
Come on.
Let's go get you checked out.
542
00:28:04,141 --> 00:28:07,687
You know, "Ronon" is a good
name, boy or a girl.
543
00:28:10,815 --> 00:28:12,191
So that brings the grand total to...
544
00:28:12,275 --> 00:28:13,568
Fourteen.
545
00:28:13,651 --> 00:28:15,736
Larrin said she can get
three or four more ships.
546
00:28:15,820 --> 00:28:17,697
- That's great.
- Yeah.
547
00:28:18,489 --> 00:28:20,825
- You okay?
- Yeah.
548
00:28:20,950 --> 00:28:23,035
I'm taking Teyla off active duty.
549
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,204
- Why?
- She's pregnant.
550
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,124
Oh... Okay.
551
00:28:28,875 --> 00:28:30,626
Who's the father?
552
00:28:31,669 --> 00:28:33,212
I never asked.
553
00:28:33,337 --> 00:28:36,299
Wow. Well, it has been
one hell of a day.
554
00:28:37,216 --> 00:28:38,593
There's one more thing
you need to see.
555
00:28:38,676 --> 00:28:40,303
McKay has kind of
thrown us a curveball.
556
00:28:40,386 --> 00:28:43,472
Oh, great. I was just thinking
we need more of those today.
557
00:28:49,478 --> 00:28:52,189
This is not what we
talked about, Rodney.
558
00:28:52,315 --> 00:28:54,317
Yeah, well, I'm sorry,
but the block idea
559
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,235
didn't fly. This was the only way.
560
00:28:56,319 --> 00:28:58,905
Do you have any idea what kind
of a security threat this is?
561
00:28:58,988 --> 00:29:01,490
It's not as bad as you think.
I've stripped down its programming
562
00:29:01,574 --> 00:29:04,285
as much as I possibly could
without sacrificing basic viability.
563
00:29:04,368 --> 00:29:06,579
It can walk, it can talk,
but it can't replicate
564
00:29:06,662 --> 00:29:08,748
or change its form or anything.
565
00:29:08,831 --> 00:29:10,917
Does she know why she was created?
566
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,376
Of course.
567
00:29:12,752 --> 00:29:14,879
Well, then she has a certain
amount of self-awareness.
568
00:29:15,004 --> 00:29:16,672
- Yeah, so?
- So?
569
00:29:17,506 --> 00:29:21,135
Honestly, I'm not sure how comfortable
I am sending her to her death.
570
00:29:21,218 --> 00:29:22,470
Death?
571
00:29:22,845 --> 00:29:25,973
It can't die. It's not alive.
It's a program.
572
00:29:26,265 --> 00:29:28,851
I mean, its consciousness is just
a bunch of ones and zeros.
573
00:29:28,976 --> 00:29:31,437
I mean, you can call it "she" all you want,
but it's still just a thing.
574
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:32,605
It's a prop. It's...
575
00:29:32,688 --> 00:29:35,024
It's a really advanced
radio-controlled weapon.
576
00:29:35,107 --> 00:29:37,860
I mean, you don't feel sorry
for your bullets, do you? Your bombs?
577
00:29:37,985 --> 00:29:39,695
All right, still.
578
00:29:40,696 --> 00:29:41,781
It's weird.
579
00:29:41,864 --> 00:29:44,033
Yeah, well, at the end of the day,
it doesn't matter anyways,
580
00:29:44,116 --> 00:29:45,534
because we don't have any other choice.
581
00:29:45,660 --> 00:29:49,705
Well, we are teaming up
with the Wraith.
582
00:29:50,164 --> 00:29:52,208
I guess it's that kind of a mission.
583
00:29:58,547 --> 00:29:59,882
- We have a problem.
- What is it?
584
00:29:59,966 --> 00:30:02,385
I've been going over your calculations.
585
00:30:02,510 --> 00:30:05,137
I thought it would be prudent
for the good of the mission.
586
00:30:05,221 --> 00:30:06,305
I hope you don't mind.
587
00:30:06,389 --> 00:30:07,640
No. No, it's fine.
588
00:30:07,723 --> 00:30:10,810
I think you've underestimated
how quickly the nanite cells will adapt
589
00:30:10,893 --> 00:30:12,895
to their changing circumstances.
590
00:30:12,979 --> 00:30:15,231
The mass will be able
to manipulate its own form
591
00:30:15,356 --> 00:30:17,149
before it reaches critical density.
592
00:30:17,233 --> 00:30:19,735
- Are you sure?
- I'm quite positive.
593
00:30:19,860 --> 00:30:23,656
Once the nanites regain control,
they will be able to halt their own collapse.
594
00:30:23,739 --> 00:30:26,325
At that point, they will be
extremely dangerous.
595
00:30:26,409 --> 00:30:28,995
In other words, we're back to Godzilla.
596
00:30:30,371 --> 00:30:32,748
I may have a solution.
597
00:30:36,752 --> 00:30:39,588
We overload their ZPMs,
about half a dozen of them,
598
00:30:39,672 --> 00:30:42,425
in a symmetrical pattern
around the Replicator mass.
599
00:30:42,508 --> 00:30:45,344
The force of the explosion causes
the mass to compress even further,
600
00:30:45,428 --> 00:30:48,597
essentially creating our own
Replicator fusion bomb.
601
00:30:48,681 --> 00:30:49,932
The whole planet will be
destroyed in the process.
602
00:30:50,057 --> 00:30:52,101
You don't mess around, do you?
603
00:30:52,184 --> 00:30:55,604
All this is based on information
provided by a Replicator?
604
00:30:55,730 --> 00:30:57,273
We have no reason to trust it.
605
00:30:57,356 --> 00:31:00,443
We're not trusting it,
we're trusting Rodney.
606
00:31:01,235 --> 00:31:03,529
Now, this causes a slight
new wrinkle in the plan.
607
00:31:03,612 --> 00:31:04,947
I'll need to beam down
to the Core room.
608
00:31:05,031 --> 00:31:07,116
Along with Ronon and
a squad of marines.
609
00:31:07,199 --> 00:31:09,785
From there, I should be able
to hack into their systems
610
00:31:09,869 --> 00:31:11,370
and set the ZPMs to overload.
611
00:31:11,454 --> 00:31:14,040
In the meantime, we'll be
keeping their ships occupied.
612
00:31:14,123 --> 00:31:17,043
The seven hives will space themselves
around the planet equally,
613
00:31:17,126 --> 00:31:19,045
and our smaller ships
will fill in the holes.
614
00:31:19,128 --> 00:31:21,130
We could use you in my chair, Sheppard.
615
00:31:21,213 --> 00:31:24,967
We have an arsenal of drones, but none
of my guys can fire them quite like you can.
616
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,722
No place I'd rather be.
617
00:31:30,598 --> 00:31:34,060
The hives will be dispatching
sizable waves of Darts to target
618
00:31:34,143 --> 00:31:36,228
the Replicators' hyperdrive engines.
619
00:31:36,312 --> 00:31:37,897
My 302s will join you.
620
00:31:37,980 --> 00:31:39,190
Very well.
621
00:31:39,273 --> 00:31:40,691
Now, while I'm working
in the Core room,
622
00:31:40,775 --> 00:31:42,151
we'll beam F.R.A.N. down to the city.
623
00:31:42,276 --> 00:31:44,320
Wait a minute, F.R.A.N.?
624
00:31:44,820 --> 00:31:47,073
Friendly Replicator Android.
625
00:31:47,281 --> 00:31:50,076
I didn't realize we were naming things.
626
00:31:50,409 --> 00:31:53,829
It noticed that Zelenka and I
both had names, and...
627
00:31:55,498 --> 00:31:57,750
And she asked for one, so...
628
00:31:58,959 --> 00:32:01,087
All right, let's move out.
629
00:32:17,353 --> 00:32:19,480
Wow. That's quite a sight.
630
00:32:20,856 --> 00:32:22,691
I remember when the Cold War
ended and we started doing
631
00:32:22,775 --> 00:32:24,944
joint missions with the Russians.
632
00:32:25,361 --> 00:32:26,779
I thought that was strange.
633
00:32:28,864 --> 00:32:30,199
I've got confirmation from the fleet.
634
00:32:30,282 --> 00:32:31,534
We're ready to go.
635
00:32:31,659 --> 00:32:33,953
Set coordinates
for the Replicator homeworld.
636
00:32:56,225 --> 00:32:58,727
This is quite exciting, isn't it?
637
00:32:59,895 --> 00:33:02,022
It's a bit nerve-wracking, yeah.
638
00:33:02,231 --> 00:33:04,400
I quite look forward to it.
639
00:33:04,525 --> 00:33:05,818
You do?
640
00:33:05,901 --> 00:33:09,071
One always wishes
to fulfill one's purpose.
641
00:33:09,155 --> 00:33:10,739
Right.
642
00:33:10,865 --> 00:33:12,908
And you're fine with all this?
643
00:33:13,033 --> 00:33:16,245
Why would I not be?
It's my reason for being.
644
00:33:16,328 --> 00:33:19,498
Well, I know, it's just that you're...
You're going to cease to be.
645
00:33:19,582 --> 00:33:20,666
Yes?
646
00:33:20,749 --> 00:33:24,253
Well, I just imagined
you'd rather keep being than...
647
00:33:25,129 --> 00:33:26,422
Than not.
648
00:33:26,505 --> 00:33:29,675
Certainly, you're not worried
for me, are you, Doctor?
649
00:33:29,758 --> 00:33:31,302
No, no. That would be silly.
650
00:33:31,886 --> 00:33:34,013
Yes, it would.
651
00:33:37,224 --> 00:33:39,602
- We should never have given it speech.
- Yeah.
652
00:33:39,685 --> 00:33:41,687
Dr. McKay, we're approaching the target.
653
00:33:41,770 --> 00:33:44,607
You need to get with Ronon
and the marines.
654
00:33:44,690 --> 00:33:46,108
On my way.
655
00:33:46,734 --> 00:33:48,694
Dr. McKay.
656
00:33:49,153 --> 00:33:50,529
Yeah?
657
00:33:50,821 --> 00:33:52,198
Good luck.
658
00:33:54,408 --> 00:33:56,243
You, too, F.R.A.N.
659
00:33:56,827 --> 00:33:58,245
Good luck.
660
00:34:17,306 --> 00:34:21,185
Target their hyperdrives with the beam
weapons and launch all 302s.
661
00:34:21,268 --> 00:34:24,647
Beam the Replicator and McKay's team
down to their separate coordinates.
662
00:34:36,742 --> 00:34:38,494
Fan out. Fan out.
663
00:34:41,538 --> 00:34:43,332
All right, we're clear.
664
00:34:43,415 --> 00:34:46,335
Okay. This won't take
more than a minute.
665
00:35:00,724 --> 00:35:02,851
Heavy damage and interior suction.
666
00:35:02,935 --> 00:35:05,729
Transferring power from non-critical
systems to hull regeneration.
667
00:35:11,318 --> 00:35:12,528
How's it coming, McKay?
668
00:35:12,611 --> 00:35:14,530
I don't want to be
doing this all day.
669
00:35:14,613 --> 00:35:15,781
I'm done.
670
00:35:15,864 --> 00:35:19,451
I've got total control
of the power grid and the ZPMs,
671
00:35:19,785 --> 00:35:23,122
and F.R.A.N. is...
F.R.A.N. is just about to activate.
672
00:35:28,210 --> 00:35:29,420
Hello.
673
00:35:49,481 --> 00:35:52,151
It's working, just hold those
ships off a little longer.
674
00:36:08,959 --> 00:36:11,170
I don't know how much
longer we can keep this up.
675
00:36:11,253 --> 00:36:12,629
We just have to keep them busy.
676
00:36:12,713 --> 00:36:14,298
I don't think they realize
what's happening yet.
677
00:36:22,348 --> 00:36:25,517
One of the Replicator ships is heading
towards us at maximum sublight.
678
00:36:25,601 --> 00:36:27,227
They're powering their hyperdrives.
679
00:36:27,311 --> 00:36:29,271
Sheppard, do you see that?
680
00:36:29,355 --> 00:36:30,939
Yeah. I got it.
681
00:36:45,537 --> 00:36:48,374
It's working much faster
than I ever imagined.
682
00:36:48,624 --> 00:36:50,876
When's it going to be big enough
to start pulling them from orbit?
683
00:36:50,959 --> 00:36:52,503
Soon. Really soon.
684
00:36:54,588 --> 00:36:56,340
Our shields can't take
much more of this, sir.
685
00:36:56,423 --> 00:36:58,258
Hopefully, they won't have to.
686
00:36:58,342 --> 00:37:02,137
Now get ready to transfer power
from the beam weapons to the...
687
00:37:13,941 --> 00:37:14,900
What the hell?
688
00:37:14,983 --> 00:37:16,276
Son of a bitch.
689
00:37:17,486 --> 00:37:19,279
He actually did it.
690
00:37:30,666 --> 00:37:31,959
What's happening?
691
00:37:32,042 --> 00:37:33,627
The Replicator mass. It's so heavy,
692
00:37:33,710 --> 00:37:36,296
it's sinking into the planet surface.
693
00:37:36,380 --> 00:37:38,340
McKay, according to our readings, every
694
00:37:38,424 --> 00:37:42,094
Replicator nanite is now part of the mass.
Can you confirm?
695
00:37:42,177 --> 00:37:43,303
Copy that, Sam.
696
00:37:43,387 --> 00:37:44,430
I'll set the countdown and...
697
00:37:46,265 --> 00:37:47,641
Did you do that?
698
00:37:47,724 --> 00:37:48,934
No.
699
00:37:50,477 --> 00:37:52,062
It's the mass.
700
00:37:52,146 --> 00:37:53,522
It's collapsed
the subterranean power grid.
701
00:37:53,605 --> 00:37:55,274
It's a blackout.
702
00:37:55,899 --> 00:37:58,527
We're not gonna be able
to overload the ZPMs.
703
00:38:07,744 --> 00:38:09,663
Not good. Not good.
Not good!
704
00:38:09,746 --> 00:38:11,415
Do you want me to beam
down there and help you?
705
00:38:11,498 --> 00:38:12,749
The power grid's been destroyed,
706
00:38:12,833 --> 00:38:14,460
there's nothing either of us can do.
707
00:38:14,543 --> 00:38:16,920
What's the big deal?
You can't overload ZPMs?
708
00:38:17,004 --> 00:38:19,506
Why don't we just send some nukes
down there and get this over with?
709
00:38:19,590 --> 00:38:23,051
It's not as simple as that!
Look, in order to implode a mass this large,
710
00:38:23,135 --> 00:38:24,928
the explosion has to be
timed down to the nanosecond.
711
00:38:25,012 --> 00:38:26,430
The force needs to be exactly right.
712
00:38:26,513 --> 00:38:29,183
I mean, you can't just fire a few nukes
down here and get the job done.
713
00:38:30,726 --> 00:38:32,728
Well, it's gotta be
better than nothing.
714
00:38:32,811 --> 00:38:34,104
I have to agree.
715
00:38:34,188 --> 00:38:38,108
McKay, my sensors indicate that the ground
around the mass is rich with neutronium.
716
00:38:38,192 --> 00:38:39,276
Neutronium?
717
00:38:39,359 --> 00:38:41,487
It's the base raw material
in Replicator cells.
718
00:38:41,570 --> 00:38:42,779
And it makes all the sense in the world
719
00:38:42,863 --> 00:38:45,115
why the Ancients would set up
on a planet where it's abundant.
720
00:38:45,199 --> 00:38:48,577
This could be very useful.
Neutronium is incredibly dense.
721
00:38:48,660 --> 00:38:50,162
And that helps us how?
722
00:38:50,245 --> 00:38:51,497
Sam, we are geniuses!
723
00:38:51,788 --> 00:38:54,583
Here the mass is so super heavy
that it's sinking into the planet's surface.
724
00:38:54,666 --> 00:38:56,877
If I dial it up just a little bit,
725
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,963
it'll attract the neutronium
and sink all the way to the core.
726
00:39:00,047 --> 00:39:02,716
And the planet will exert enough pressure
on it to cause an implosion.
727
00:39:05,219 --> 00:39:07,596
Just give me one more...
728
00:39:09,014 --> 00:39:10,390
Got it!
729
00:39:19,942 --> 00:39:21,693
Um, we need to get out of here.
730
00:39:21,777 --> 00:39:23,946
All right, let's go.
Come on!
731
00:39:34,081 --> 00:39:36,917
As much as I'd love to, we shouldn't
stick around and watch this go down.
732
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,419
We should tell the fleet to jump
to the rendezvous point immediately.
733
00:39:39,503 --> 00:39:41,380
The planet's become unstable.
734
00:40:05,070 --> 00:40:06,655
I'm sorry you lost a ship.
735
00:40:06,738 --> 00:40:08,365
Well, they knew
what they were getting into.
736
00:40:08,448 --> 00:40:09,992
Yeah, but still.
737
00:40:10,075 --> 00:40:13,078
You gonna stick around and let
my guys check this place out?
738
00:40:13,161 --> 00:40:16,290
They already gave us a head start
when they got us battle ready.
739
00:40:16,373 --> 00:40:19,668
Besides, I have some things
that need to get taken care of.
740
00:40:19,751 --> 00:40:20,961
Yeah? Like?
741
00:40:21,044 --> 00:40:24,464
Oh, nothing for you to concern
your pretty little head with.
742
00:40:24,548 --> 00:40:25,966
Look, um...
743
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:29,261
Now that we're allies and stuff,
744
00:40:30,178 --> 00:40:33,390
I should probably have
some way of contacting you,
745
00:40:33,473 --> 00:40:37,853
you know, for professional reasons,
in case we need help again.
746
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,272
I know where Atlantis is now.
747
00:40:40,355 --> 00:40:42,441
Don't worry.
I'll stay in touch.
748
00:40:43,233 --> 00:40:46,278
Colonel Sheppard,
are you ready to beam?
749
00:40:46,361 --> 00:40:48,322
Good seeing you again.
750
00:40:48,405 --> 00:40:49,906
I bet it was.
751
00:40:53,994 --> 00:40:55,537
Ready to beam.
752
00:41:05,047 --> 00:41:06,214
Welcome back.
753
00:41:06,298 --> 00:41:07,716
Good to be back.
754
00:41:07,799 --> 00:41:09,593
How are our good friends, the Wraith?
755
00:41:09,676 --> 00:41:11,762
Well, they never showed up
at the rendezvous point.
756
00:41:11,845 --> 00:41:14,348
Hmm. Think they got caught
in the explosion?
757
00:41:14,431 --> 00:41:16,391
I doubt it.
I guess they just figured that
758
00:41:16,475 --> 00:41:17,893
there was nothing left to talk about,
759
00:41:17,976 --> 00:41:19,519
so as soon as the planet blew up,
760
00:41:19,603 --> 00:41:20,854
we were back to being enemies.
761
00:41:20,937 --> 00:41:23,148
Hmm. Wraith back to being enemies.
762
00:41:23,231 --> 00:41:26,318
Replicators don't exist anymore,
you out of your dry spell...
763
00:41:26,401 --> 00:41:29,488
- Hey!
- All is right with the world.
764
00:41:29,905 --> 00:41:31,114
What are you working on anyway?
765
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:32,866
You'll be surprised
to hear that removing
766
00:41:32,949 --> 00:41:35,077
a planet from the database
is actually a lot of work.
767
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:36,870
I thought you'd be pretty
good at that by now.
768
00:41:36,953 --> 00:41:38,497
You just can't resist
bringing up the fact
769
00:41:38,580 --> 00:41:41,333
that I once accidentally destroyed
a couple of planets, can you?
770
00:41:41,416 --> 00:41:43,752
It was an entire solar system.
771
00:41:43,919 --> 00:41:45,128
You want to do the honors?
772
00:41:45,212 --> 00:41:46,713
No, go ahead.
773
00:41:47,297 --> 00:41:51,468
All right, M7R-227, you were
a constant pain in the ass.
774
00:41:51,593 --> 00:41:53,303
It's good to see you go.
775
00:41:56,181 --> 00:41:57,599
If only it was that easy in real life.
776
00:41:57,683 --> 00:42:00,644
Area 51's working on it.
You want to get late dinner?
777
00:42:00,727 --> 00:42:02,562
- Absolutely.
- All right.
778
00:42:02,646 --> 00:42:05,440
I would have loved to have seen
Ellis' face when my plan worked.
779
00:42:05,524 --> 00:42:06,817
He's such a tool.
780
00:42:06,900 --> 00:42:08,527
- I like him.
- You do?
781
00:42:08,610 --> 00:42:10,696
Yeah. Good guy, excellent
judge of character.
782
00:42:10,779 --> 00:42:12,197
Oh, I see.
783
00:42:14,074 --> 00:42:16,618
I see where you're going with that.
784
00:42:32,634 --> 00:42:36,346
Our intel was correct.
The planet has been completely destroyed.
785
00:42:36,430 --> 00:42:38,890
Can you detect any trace
Replicator cells?
786
00:42:38,974 --> 00:42:41,977
Negative.
They've been completely wiped out.
787
00:42:42,686 --> 00:42:43,854
Good.
788
00:42:44,604 --> 00:42:48,525
We can finally get to work without having
to look over our shoulders.
789
00:42:50,235 --> 00:42:51,820
It's time to begin.
