1
00:00:00,042 --> 00:00:02,336
Previously on Stargate Atlantis
2
00:00:03,045 --> 00:00:04,213
It's headed for the city!
3
00:00:04,505 --> 00:00:06,673
- What's it doing?
- Scanning us..
4
00:00:08,091 --> 00:00:10,469
Now the dart sent a transmission deep into space,
5
00:00:10,511 --> 00:00:12,387
and then it self destructed before we could get to it.
6
00:00:12,429 --> 00:00:15,349
- We scanned the area with our deep-space sensors and..
- What are those?
7
00:00:15,349 --> 00:00:17,434
Wraith hives ship. Three of them.
8
00:00:17,476 --> 00:00:18,268
Where are they headed?
9
00:00:18,310 --> 00:00:21,688
If they maintain direction and speed,
they'll be over our planet within two weeks.
10
00:00:30,072 --> 00:00:32,366
We knew they were comming,
at least now we know when.
11
00:00:32,449 --> 00:00:34,284
- That's something.
- That's something?
12
00:00:34,326 --> 00:00:37,579
There's still time, Rodney.
There's no reason to panic...
13
00:00:38,830 --> 00:00:40,916
- yet.
- Where there is time, there is hope.
14
00:00:41,291 --> 00:00:42,835
Agreed. So recommandations?
15
00:00:43,001 --> 00:00:46,046
- Other than panic?
- Other than panic, yes!
16
00:00:46,630 --> 00:00:51,051
I realize this might not be cool,
but we should consider M7G-677.
17
00:00:51,426 --> 00:00:53,804
- As a possible evacuation site?
- No ma'am.
18
00:00:54,054 --> 00:00:56,515
I'm suggesting we take their ZPM.
19
00:00:56,932 --> 00:00:58,642
Their only means of protection from the Wraith?
20
00:00:59,518 --> 00:01:01,895
A planet populated mostly by children.
21
00:01:02,312 --> 00:01:08,151
He raises a valid point. We've already established the ZPM
is nearly depleted, but it could be of some limited use to us.
22
00:01:08,318 --> 00:01:11,113
You asked for suggestions. It's a matter of survival.
23
00:01:11,488 --> 00:01:12,573
I see.
24
00:01:13,532 --> 00:01:18,078
We're not quite there yet.
And as long as I'm in charge, we will never be there.
25
00:01:18,245 --> 00:01:19,580
I agree doctor Weir.
26
00:01:19,621 --> 00:01:23,625
If this is to be our end, it is best
we face it with both dignity and honor.
27
00:01:23,709 --> 00:01:27,129
- To that end I actually have an idea, in addition, to panic.
- Let's hear it.
28
00:01:27,379 --> 00:01:32,467
It's really a long shot, but I think it's most likely
worth the effort, of course the most to be my efforts...
29
00:01:32,509 --> 00:01:33,719
What is it?
30
00:01:33,969 --> 00:01:37,389
I think we can send a message
back to Earth through the Stargate.
31
00:01:37,514 --> 00:01:39,808
- Excuse me?
- I thought we didn't have enough power.
32
00:01:39,975 --> 00:01:43,353
Not to send a person, no. We'd never be
able to maintain the wormhole long enough.
33
00:01:43,604 --> 00:01:46,690
But I think if we would be able to tie together
all of our power generating capabilities,
34
00:01:46,773 --> 00:01:51,486
we might - and I emphasise might - be able to establish
a wormhole long enough to send a message.
35
00:01:51,486 --> 00:01:53,030
How much time are we talking about?
36
00:01:53,697 --> 00:01:56,408
Aproximatly, 1.3 seconds, give or take.
37
00:01:56,617 --> 00:01:59,828
- That's not much time.
- Time enough to say S.O.S.
38
00:01:59,870 --> 00:02:05,709
Don't be so analogue. 1.3 seconds is more than enough time to send
the message if it's in the form of a high compression data burst.
39
00:02:05,751 --> 00:02:08,670
Now, I helped refine the encoding
for the US Air Force a few years back.
40
00:02:09,004 --> 00:02:13,217
- Colonel Carter should be able to decipher it on the other side.
- You're suggesting this now?
41
00:02:13,258 --> 00:02:17,429
Because it probably won't work, and there's a very good chance
it could overload our naquadah generators in the process.
42
00:02:17,429 --> 00:02:19,640
Well then we can't take the risk!
43
00:02:19,890 --> 00:02:22,434
No power, we won't have a chance in hell.
44
00:02:22,476 --> 00:02:27,814
There are three Wraith hives ship on the way, Major.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
45
00:02:28,106 --> 00:02:31,109
Besides, I spent the last few days
working of ways of minimizing the risk.
46
00:02:32,486 --> 00:02:36,615
Assuming it's possible, how much information can we send?
47
00:02:36,823 --> 00:02:42,955
Everything. I mean, mission reports from all the senior staff,
a ton of stuff on Atlantis, things we've learned in Pegasus.
48
00:02:43,288 --> 00:02:46,166
- All that? One second?
- One point three.
49
00:02:46,333 --> 00:02:50,754
You jest, but if I could finesse the compression
ratios, you'll be looking for things to add.
50
00:02:55,717 --> 00:02:58,011
- Do it.
- Doing it.
51
00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:17,322
Elizabeth, you realize that if
Stargate Command was able to send help..
52
00:03:17,489 --> 00:03:22,286
I know. They would have. But still we've the
responsability to report what we've learned here.
53
00:03:22,494 --> 00:03:25,289
- About Atlantis, about the Ancients..
- The Wraith?
54
00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:27,791
Exactly. We have to warn Earth.
55
00:03:27,833 --> 00:03:29,793
Even if it's the last thing we do?
56
00:03:29,918 --> 00:03:32,087
Especially if it's the last thing we do.
57
00:03:36,884 --> 00:03:41,013
Season 1: Episode 17
Letters from Pegasus
58
00:03:45,434 --> 00:03:49,771
Team24 and SG-66 for seriestele. net and Forom. com
Transcript: stargatedanielfriendly. net
59
00:04:38,612 --> 00:04:41,448
They don't seem threatening,
those dots on the screen, do they?
60
00:04:41,657 --> 00:04:44,451
Which is why we need to do recon and
see what we're up against firsthand.
61
00:04:44,952 --> 00:04:45,911
How?
62
00:04:45,911 --> 00:04:51,041
I've been tracking their progress. The Wraith ships
apparently go in and out of hyperspace periodically.
63
00:04:51,458 --> 00:04:56,880
- Either because their hyperspace technology is limited...
- Or they're stopping to feed along the way.
64
00:04:57,256 --> 00:04:59,508
The point is, the pattern is predictable.
65
00:04:59,758 --> 00:05:05,806
I can guess with some certainty, that
they'll be making stops, here, here and here.
66
00:05:06,431 --> 00:05:10,185
Even so, those ships are light years away. How
do you expect to reach them in a puddle jumper?
67
00:05:10,394 --> 00:05:15,816
We fly to a Stargate en route that Zelenka thinks they're
gonna drop out of hyperspace, and we watch them pass by.
68
00:05:16,608 --> 00:05:19,111
- That's good.
- You know I have my moments.
69
00:05:19,403 --> 00:05:21,822
Teyla and I were just deciding which planet to go to.
70
00:05:22,531 --> 00:05:24,867
I am familiar with the people of this world.
71
00:05:25,409 --> 00:05:29,037
Their Stargate is in the open,
and so, accessible by ship.
72
00:05:29,413 --> 00:05:32,749
And you think you can remain undetected
by the Wraith as they go by your position?
73
00:05:32,833 --> 00:05:34,960
Stealth mode. They won't even know we're there.
74
00:05:35,085 --> 00:05:41,341
OK, go. Get what intel you can and get back before
Rodney sends his message. I need the both of you here.
75
00:05:41,341 --> 00:05:43,051
Won't even stop at the duty free.
76
00:06:07,492 --> 00:06:13,373
On the offchance that you get the idea to take the Wraith
ships on yourself Major. I am hereby ordering you not to.
77
00:06:13,582 --> 00:06:14,791
Believe me you don't have to.
78
00:06:15,083 --> 00:06:15,584
Still.
79
00:06:15,667 --> 00:06:21,048
"Don't take on alien armada's single handedly. "
I understand.
80
00:06:37,481 --> 00:06:39,816
Father! Teyla's here!
81
00:06:50,452 --> 00:06:51,870
Teyla!
82
00:06:52,037 --> 00:06:58,293
- Oren! It has been many days.
- Too many. Look at you, you're so different.
83
00:06:58,502 --> 00:07:01,004
Much has changed since my last visit.
84
00:07:03,006 --> 00:07:07,427
- This is Major John Sheppard. And Oren.
- Pleased to meet you.
85
00:07:09,054 --> 00:07:12,558
- The harvest is still months away.
- Yes, I know.
86
00:07:13,475 --> 00:07:16,186
We have not come to trade, but to deliver a warning.
87
00:07:17,271 --> 00:07:19,731
We have reason to believe
the Wraith may be on their way.
88
00:07:20,524 --> 00:07:23,068
We don't know that for a fact,
but we're about to go and find out.
89
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,947
Yes, it seems they're awakening everywhere.
90
00:07:27,072 --> 00:07:29,992
You should tell your people
to take precautions in case they do come.
91
00:07:30,284 --> 00:07:31,159
I will.
92
00:07:31,994 --> 00:07:38,667
But you know as well as I do Teyla, that the Wraith will
track us down wherever we go. There will be no escape.
93
00:07:38,667 --> 00:07:40,210
What about through the Stargate?
94
00:07:40,627 --> 00:07:44,047
The cullings are taking place
on many worlds. None are safe.
95
00:07:45,048 --> 00:07:47,050
Even we have taken in refugees.
96
00:07:47,885 --> 00:07:55,392
If they do come, stay far from the Stargate. Take
your family to the far treeline, there, and wait for us.
97
00:07:55,392 --> 00:07:58,979
- Teyla.
- One family Major, that is all I ask.
98
00:08:03,233 --> 00:08:07,070
I'm sorry Oren, I can't make that promise.
99
00:08:07,154 --> 00:08:09,031
It will be the very least we can do.
100
00:08:12,576 --> 00:08:15,329
- If there's time.
- Then we must hurry.
101
00:08:24,213 --> 00:08:26,757
Children, we must prepare.
102
00:08:28,050 --> 00:08:32,554
Alright, we have our city' specs, mission reports
and tactical assessments all ready to go.
103
00:08:33,305 --> 00:08:34,515
What else?
104
00:08:34,765 --> 00:08:38,477
Well I've included a ton of data that we've been
able to decipher from the Ancient database.
105
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:41,688
Really? That is incredible.
106
00:08:42,022 --> 00:08:45,275
Well the algorithm I've devised
is extraordinarily efficient, yes.
107
00:08:45,275 --> 00:08:46,527
Oh please!
108
00:08:46,568 --> 00:08:50,280
Well it must be,
in order to fit all that data into 1.3 seconds.
109
00:08:50,322 --> 00:08:52,574
.3 seconds actually.
110
00:08:52,699 --> 00:08:54,701
We have a whole extra second to fill?
111
00:08:54,743 --> 00:08:57,371
A whole extra one, yes.
112
00:09:01,917 --> 00:09:04,586
Is it enough to include personal messages?
113
00:09:07,339 --> 00:09:10,676
Sure, I mean several hours of video.
Much more if we restrict the audio.
114
00:09:10,801 --> 00:09:14,096
I think it'll do wonders for moral. Especially now.
115
00:09:14,221 --> 00:09:16,807
I could tell my Grandma
what I've been up to all this time.
116
00:09:17,224 --> 00:09:19,852
Well if your grandmother had security clearance,
yes you could.
117
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:24,147
But for now, you can tell her
that you're well and that you miss her.
118
00:09:24,481 --> 00:09:27,818
This is all very charming, but um,
I have work to do. Shouldn't I...
119
00:09:27,943 --> 00:09:31,446
Lieutenant, maybe you'd like to handle this.
120
00:09:31,572 --> 00:09:35,409
Give everybody a few minutes on camera send
a personal message to their loved ones.
121
00:09:35,450 --> 00:09:36,827
I'd love to ma'am.
122
00:09:36,869 --> 00:09:38,120
Off you go!
123
00:09:42,082 --> 00:09:45,169
As soon as Zelenka and I can get
Jumper 4's engines tied into the grid,
124
00:09:45,210 --> 00:09:47,254
we should be able to do a low power dry run.
125
00:09:47,337 --> 00:09:48,088
Good.
126
00:09:48,589 --> 00:09:49,548
Rodney?
127
00:09:50,924 --> 00:09:52,843
You don't want to send a message to anyone?
128
00:09:52,885 --> 00:09:57,973
You know what? I think with all my spare time,
I'll just record a message to myself.
129
00:09:58,473 --> 00:09:59,558
You?
130
00:10:00,142 --> 00:10:01,185
Yes.
131
00:10:01,852 --> 00:10:03,103
Good, good.
132
00:10:11,570 --> 00:10:14,031
This wasn't supposed to be a rescue mission.
133
00:10:14,364 --> 00:10:16,491
Oren was a good friend of my father.
134
00:10:16,533 --> 00:10:18,744
I agreed to warn him.
135
00:10:19,036 --> 00:10:21,038
If someone close to your family,
136
00:10:21,038 --> 00:10:25,459
a dear friend, was in danger of being taken by
the Wraith, would you have not done the same?
137
00:10:25,501 --> 00:10:27,669
Not if it jeopardised the mission.
138
00:10:29,254 --> 00:10:32,799
So in fighting the Wraith, we are to give up
that which makes us different from them?
139
00:10:32,883 --> 00:10:38,222
I agreed to stop and pick him up
if there was time, but only if there was time.
140
00:10:39,973 --> 00:10:42,726
I'll be saving everyone
in the damn galaxy, if we could.
141
00:10:42,768 --> 00:10:45,270
One man and his children are not every person.
142
00:10:45,395 --> 00:10:47,731
I agreed to help, if there was time.
143
00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:51,902
You only fight the battles you can win.
144
00:11:32,734 --> 00:11:34,862
Let's get this thing turn around.
145
00:11:42,077 --> 00:11:44,246
They're heading for the planet.
146
00:11:49,668 --> 00:11:52,588
OK, recording, plenty of battery.
147
00:11:52,629 --> 00:11:54,882
So why am I not seeing anything.
148
00:11:55,007 --> 00:11:55,924
Stupid!
149
00:12:09,605 --> 00:12:13,442
OK. Hi Grandma, Grandpa!
150
00:12:14,484 --> 00:12:17,196
It's me Aiden, obviously.
151
00:12:17,571 --> 00:12:21,742
Talking to you from a place, far, far, from home.
152
00:12:22,534 --> 00:12:25,454
I'm good though. You don't have to worry.
153
00:12:26,246 --> 00:12:29,416
Life here is pretty routine.
154
00:12:39,927 --> 00:12:45,224
I'm hoping to get home sometime soon.
But you know, if
155
00:12:45,390 --> 00:12:50,437
I'm stuck here a while,
I want you to know that I'm good.
156
00:12:51,355 --> 00:12:55,359
I'm doing things, seeing things
I never thought I'd see.
157
00:13:10,457 --> 00:13:15,838
Wish I could tell you all about it.
Who knows, one day, maybe I'll be able to.
158
00:13:16,672 --> 00:13:18,715
But I want you both to know,
159
00:13:18,757 --> 00:13:25,806
that you're right here, always, all the time.
160
00:13:30,644 --> 00:13:34,231
Sorry Teyla. Even flying full out,
we're just ahead of the armada.
161
00:13:34,273 --> 00:13:36,775
I can't risk putting down for Oren or his family.
162
00:13:36,817 --> 00:13:38,193
I see.
163
00:13:39,695 --> 00:13:42,781
I'm gonna take us out of stealth mode for the pass.
Dial the gate.
164
00:13:47,202 --> 00:13:49,121
Hang on! Incoming wormhole!
165
00:13:56,795 --> 00:13:58,755
I have heard stories of the Wraith dialling in,
166
00:13:58,797 --> 00:14:01,884
to prevent their victims from
using the Stargate as a means of escape.
167
00:14:01,925 --> 00:14:03,719
So we're stuck here.
168
00:14:04,219 --> 00:14:07,806
Once the ship is rendered invisible again,
we will be perfectly safe.
169
00:14:07,848 --> 00:14:10,934
I'm more worried about getting the intel
about the Wraith fleet back to Atlantis.
170
00:14:11,059 --> 00:14:13,937
Then we'll keep dialling in through
the night at the very least.
171
00:14:14,938 --> 00:14:18,609
But if we wait in the location
I told Oren and his family to meet us...
172
00:14:18,650 --> 00:14:20,944
That's where I'm headed.
173
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,164
I must warn you,
I'm not very good at this sort of thing.
174
00:14:32,289 --> 00:14:34,666
Well don't worry. The only people
that's gonna see it, is you and your family.
175
00:14:34,791 --> 00:14:37,127
Aye, and you and the US military.
176
00:14:37,503 --> 00:14:38,921
Give it a shot?
177
00:14:39,254 --> 00:14:40,631
What shall I say?
178
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,761
I miss you? I wish you were here?
179
00:14:45,802 --> 00:14:47,471
I wish who was here?
180
00:14:47,513 --> 00:14:48,931
I don't know. Who do you wish was here?
181
00:14:48,972 --> 00:14:51,016
Nobody! I wish I wasn't bloody here!
182
00:14:51,058 --> 00:14:52,935
Doc, I got a lotta people I gotta get through.
183
00:14:54,228 --> 00:14:58,982
Alright, uh, I suppose
I could say hello to my Mother.
184
00:14:59,066 --> 00:15:02,319
Good. There you go. Alright, you ready?
185
00:15:02,611 --> 00:15:03,362
Yeah.
186
00:15:04,238 --> 00:15:05,489
OK, go.
187
00:15:05,864 --> 00:15:09,451
Hello Mum! I hope this message finds you well.
188
00:15:09,493 --> 00:15:13,413
I trust your petunia's are in full bloom by now.
189
00:15:13,539 --> 00:15:16,917
Oh, and I do hope you're keeping up
with the ointment I gave you.
190
00:15:17,042 --> 00:15:20,629
If you've adhered to the regime,
the fungus should have cleared up by now.
191
00:15:22,297 --> 00:15:23,966
- What's wrong?
- Dude, fungus?
192
00:15:24,007 --> 00:15:27,719
On her toenails. I thought you said no-one
would watch this except my family?
193
00:15:27,845 --> 00:15:29,513
Yeah, but fungus?
194
00:15:29,638 --> 00:15:31,223
What then shall I talk about?
195
00:15:31,390 --> 00:15:33,016
I don't know, it's your Mother.
Tell her you love her.
196
00:15:33,058 --> 00:15:34,977
No, no, I can't do that. I'll get all emotional.
197
00:15:35,018 --> 00:15:36,061
So?
198
00:15:36,645 --> 00:15:40,774
She's very delicate, my mother.
As sweet a soul as you'll ever meet.
199
00:15:40,941 --> 00:15:45,904
As pure as the driven snow. If I get upset
then she'll get upset, and I can't have that.
200
00:15:45,988 --> 00:15:47,739
It's not like we're live Doc.
201
00:15:47,865 --> 00:15:50,701
I mean, you don't like what we put on tape
the first time,we can always do it again.
202
00:15:50,742 --> 00:15:53,036
- We can?
- Sure.
203
00:15:53,328 --> 00:15:57,207
Oh. I suppose I could do that then.
204
00:15:58,083 --> 00:16:01,378
Alright, here we go.
205
00:16:05,215 --> 00:16:06,675
Mum...
206
00:16:10,762 --> 00:16:12,848
I miss you terribly.
207
00:16:17,102 --> 00:16:18,729
I can't do this!
208
00:16:32,159 --> 00:16:34,244
Come on Oren, show up!
209
00:16:38,457 --> 00:16:39,750
What?
210
00:16:39,958 --> 00:16:42,794
Not long ago you would have blithely left them behind.
211
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,172
Well the situation has changed.
212
00:16:48,383 --> 00:16:51,970
Earlier today Lt Ford suggested
we steal from a community of children.
213
00:16:52,137 --> 00:16:54,723
That's because they have a ZPM
and we can bring them back.
214
00:16:54,890 --> 00:16:57,309
Only to face death in Atlantis?
215
00:16:58,519 --> 00:17:02,856
Look, Ford and I are military. We've spent
a lot of our lives learning how to survive.
216
00:17:02,940 --> 00:17:05,108
I've spent my life surviving the Wraith.
217
00:17:05,150 --> 00:17:09,238
Part of that training is knowing who
you can save and who you can't.
218
00:17:09,363 --> 00:17:11,573
And that decision is yours alone?
219
00:17:11,865 --> 00:17:15,118
I said that I'd wait for your friend if there was time.
220
00:17:15,244 --> 00:17:18,956
Now there's time. What else do you want from me?
221
00:17:20,707 --> 00:17:22,709
Too much I fear.
222
00:17:24,878 --> 00:17:27,005
It's gonna be a long night.
223
00:18:37,451 --> 00:18:41,788
You didn't say anything that would
require security clearance did you?
224
00:18:41,830 --> 00:18:44,374
Security clearance?
225
00:18:53,759 --> 00:18:55,969
This is hard, to sit and watch.
226
00:18:56,512 --> 00:18:57,763
There's nothing you can do.
227
00:18:57,763 --> 00:18:59,765
We can do a lot.
228
00:18:59,806 --> 00:19:02,059
It'll just be the last thing we ever do.
229
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:05,312
We are far outnumbered and
the Gate is still inaccessible.
230
00:19:06,813 --> 00:19:13,070
But if we save Oren and his family,
we will have done something.
231
00:19:13,362 --> 00:19:15,739
Something.
232
00:19:19,868 --> 00:19:21,411
I'm gonna miss you kiddo.
233
00:19:21,453 --> 00:19:24,665
I can't wait to get back home and
take you to a basketball game.
234
00:19:24,665 --> 00:19:30,420
Watch Kobe and Shaq take
another title home for the Lakers.
235
00:19:33,507 --> 00:19:35,634
That's it.
236
00:19:36,009 --> 00:19:37,761
That's it?
237
00:19:38,262 --> 00:19:39,638
What else am I gonna say to the kid.
238
00:19:39,638 --> 00:19:40,806
It's your little brother SGT.
239
00:19:40,848 --> 00:19:44,059
And I'm probably never gonna see him again,
why make it worse than it has to be.
240
00:19:44,101 --> 00:19:48,105
- That's not what this is about man!
- That's exactly what this is about.
241
00:19:50,566 --> 00:19:52,025
Don't sweat it Lt.
242
00:19:52,067 --> 00:19:53,902
I'm happy I got the chance to say goodbye.
243
00:19:53,944 --> 00:19:55,904
Yeah, but you didn't say it.
244
00:19:56,071 --> 00:19:59,241
Not in so many words.
245
00:20:05,289 --> 00:20:06,165
Lt Ford!
246
00:20:06,206 --> 00:20:08,083
Ah, you ready to record your message?
247
00:20:08,125 --> 00:20:09,418
Already done.
248
00:20:09,418 --> 00:20:12,129
Actually I took the liberty of doing mine in private.
249
00:20:12,171 --> 00:20:14,214
Now it may require some editing.
250
00:20:14,256 --> 00:20:14,840
Editing.
251
00:20:14,882 --> 00:20:17,676
Yeah, I went on a bit.
Actually I used the entire tape.
252
00:20:17,718 --> 00:20:18,760
You talked for an hour.
253
00:20:18,802 --> 00:20:21,013
See, I found it rather therapeutic actually.
254
00:20:21,054 --> 00:20:25,350
Now I'm fairly confident I've come up
with several valuable insights. In fact I'm sure of it,
255
00:20:25,392 --> 00:20:28,312
but I've only slept six hours in the last few days.
256
00:20:28,353 --> 00:20:29,646
Who's it for?
257
00:20:29,646 --> 00:20:31,690
Humanity in general, my sister. Look,
258
00:20:31,732 --> 00:20:35,694
I don't expect you to cut it down to just a few minutes.
I mean, there is gold in here.
259
00:20:35,736 --> 00:20:42,451
So just make sure mine's last and that way, if it gets cut off, fine, but if the
gate holds the connection a few extra milliseconds then we won't have wasted the time.
260
00:20:42,493 --> 00:20:43,660
I look forward to it.
261
00:20:43,660 --> 00:20:46,205
Well, enjoy.
262
00:20:47,039 --> 00:20:48,832
Gold.
263
00:20:57,633 --> 00:21:01,929
And in, 5,4,3...
264
00:21:04,056 --> 00:21:08,977
This is Doctor Rodney McKay speaking to you
from my base of operations in the lost city of Atlantis,
265
00:21:09,019 --> 00:21:12,689
located deep within the Pegasus Galaxy.
266
00:21:13,148 --> 00:21:17,778
I record this message on the eve of our darkest hour.
267
00:21:17,819 --> 00:21:24,743
As I speak, an alien armada of biblical proportions
is on it's way, bent, dare I say hellbent,
268
00:21:24,785 --> 00:21:28,205
in keeping with the metaphor, on our destruction.
269
00:21:28,247 --> 00:21:33,335
We will do our best to stave off their attack,
but I'm afraid that defeat is all but inevitable.
270
00:21:33,377 --> 00:21:36,922
I and the other members of my team,
271
00:21:36,964 --> 00:21:40,384
face the most horrific deaths imaginable.
272
00:21:40,425 --> 00:21:48,559
As our very lives are sucked
from our chests in a horrific...
273
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,020
OK, OK. Starting again. Starting again.
274
00:21:52,062 --> 00:21:55,482
Ford, just cut that alright?
275
00:22:03,866 --> 00:22:05,242
What is that?
276
00:22:05,492 --> 00:22:08,036
I've never seen such a thing.
277
00:22:10,956 --> 00:22:12,624
I'm gonna check it out.
278
00:22:12,666 --> 00:22:14,168
You may be discovered.
279
00:22:14,209 --> 00:22:16,003
- I'll make a point not to.
- Major
280
00:22:16,044 --> 00:22:19,506
I just want to see whatever that is.
281
00:22:19,548 --> 00:22:23,677
Just stay here until Oren and his family show up.
282
00:22:40,527 --> 00:22:42,321
In 5, 4,3...
283
00:22:44,031 --> 00:22:47,951
My friends. I am Doctor Rodney McKay
of the Atlantis expedition,
284
00:22:47,951 --> 00:22:50,913
and as the facts of
our heroic struggle against the Wraith
285
00:22:50,913 --> 00:23:00,255
and our untimely demise are already known to you,
in that light I'd like to pass along some final thoughts.
286
00:23:00,297 --> 00:23:05,469
Now my extensive educational training and
first hand experience in the field of astrophysics,
287
00:23:05,511 --> 00:23:13,519
has given me a unique perspective that few on Earth or
on any other planet for that matter, can match.
288
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:18,524
I'd like to take a few moments now
to pass along that perspective to you.
289
00:23:18,524 --> 00:23:26,824
I'll begin with a few observations on a subject
that is both near and dear to my heart.
290
00:23:27,199 --> 00:23:29,034
Leadership...
291
00:23:29,743 --> 00:23:31,620
Mr and Mrs Markham,
292
00:23:31,662 --> 00:23:33,956
my name is Dr Elizabeth Weir
293
00:23:33,997 --> 00:23:37,334
and your son was a member of my expedition team.
294
00:23:38,961 --> 00:23:43,507
It is with a deep regret that I have to inform you
that he was killed in the line of duty,
295
00:23:43,549 --> 00:23:45,676
just a few days ago.
296
00:23:46,218 --> 00:23:48,679
He died in the defence of others
297
00:23:48,679 --> 00:23:50,764
and his sacrifice may have saved many.
298
00:23:50,806 --> 00:23:56,144
Her keen curiosity are just some of the qualities
that your daughter displayed during her duties
299
00:23:56,186 --> 00:23:59,439
as a scientist on my team.
300
00:23:59,439 --> 00:24:04,319
She and several of her colleagues,
died suddenly, just a few weeks ago.
301
00:24:04,361 --> 00:24:08,156
I am not at liberty to reveal
the cause of her death, but I can tell you...
302
00:24:08,198 --> 00:24:10,159
that during her time here,
303
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,204
Dr Dumais was a part of something very profound.
304
00:24:14,246 --> 00:24:16,915
She saw and lived things
she never would have dreamed of before.
305
00:24:16,957 --> 00:24:20,669
You can be very proud of your son,
knowing that he died bravely while defending others.
306
00:24:20,711 --> 00:24:23,839
I confess that I didn't know him as I could have...
307
00:24:23,881 --> 00:24:28,385
But I do know that he was well liked and
very well respected among his peers...
308
00:24:28,969 --> 00:24:32,598
and I was told of how often he spoke of his family.
309
00:24:34,224 --> 00:24:37,227
I do wish I could tell you more.
310
00:24:39,062 --> 00:24:43,317
I'm sure you understand as a military family...
311
00:24:50,532 --> 00:24:52,576
Are you done ma'am?
312
00:24:55,162 --> 00:24:58,290
Just give me a moment please Lieutenant.
313
00:24:59,041 --> 00:25:01,293
I am keeping busy with my job.
314
00:25:01,335 --> 00:25:06,715
I work hard, like everyone else
to ensure the success of this expedition,
315
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,676
and also to please the leader of our science team.
316
00:25:09,718 --> 00:25:11,345
No, no, no, no, no.
317
00:25:11,386 --> 00:25:12,763
This sequence first
318
00:25:12,804 --> 00:25:13,555
and then the secondary code.
319
00:25:13,597 --> 00:25:16,266
Unless you're intentionally trying to blow us up.
In which case, excellent work.
320
00:25:16,308 --> 00:25:18,810
He does not always remember my name,
321
00:25:18,852 --> 00:25:21,772
but I have enjoyed working for him very much.
322
00:25:22,147 --> 00:25:25,692
What is this? Who made this? You made this?
323
00:25:25,734 --> 00:25:28,445
He is a very honourable and brave man.
324
00:25:28,487 --> 00:25:33,033
Oh! Ow! OK, cramp, cramp, cramp! Ow! Ow! Ow!
325
00:25:33,075 --> 00:25:36,912
Until then, I will continue to serve at his pleasure.
326
00:25:37,496 --> 00:25:40,791
I almost caught mono, kissing a girl during algebra club.
327
00:25:40,833 --> 00:25:43,252
I missed an entire month of school.
328
00:25:43,293 --> 00:25:49,132
Still, the kiss was something,
so it was probably worth it.
329
00:25:49,132 --> 00:25:51,885
April Bingham. Cute blonde.
330
00:25:51,927 --> 00:25:57,182
God, I love blondes,
especially with the... the short hair.
331
00:26:00,435 --> 00:26:04,064
Samantha Carter, if you're watching,
332
00:26:04,106 --> 00:26:09,903
the torch is still burning.
Sadly, soon to be extinguished.
333
00:26:09,945 --> 00:26:15,784
You know, you should know. I think you are just so...
334
00:26:15,951 --> 00:26:20,539
Well, you're great. Really, really great.
335
00:26:20,664 --> 00:26:23,750
I would go so far to say you're the hottest scientist
I've ever worked with. In fact there's
336
00:26:23,792 --> 00:26:27,087
probably not a night goes by I don't find myself, uh.
337
00:26:27,087 --> 00:26:28,755
OK, Ford?
338
00:26:28,797 --> 00:26:32,968
Let's lose that and let's get back to...
339
00:26:35,012 --> 00:26:36,221
...leadership.
340
00:27:37,866 --> 00:27:39,409
Who will be watching this?
341
00:27:39,535 --> 00:27:41,078
Anyone you're sending it to.
342
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,205
Family, friends, loved ones.
343
00:27:43,539 --> 00:27:45,707
Will anyone from Atlantis be viewing this?
344
00:27:45,749 --> 00:27:47,918
No. Messages are private.
345
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,337
You can get as mushy as you want.
346
00:27:52,214 --> 00:27:57,970
Uh, this is a message for
General Jack O'Neill of Stargate Command.
347
00:27:58,011 --> 00:28:04,643
I feel it is my duty to inform you of what I consider to be
serious errors in judgement among the leaders of this expedition.
348
00:28:04,685 --> 00:28:07,688
Most notably, Dr Elizabeth Weir.
349
00:28:07,729 --> 00:28:13,569
Her actions have repeatedly and recklessly exposed
the people of this expedition to extreme danger.
350
00:28:13,610 --> 00:28:18,699
Leading us directly to the grave situation
we currently find ourselves in.
351
00:28:18,699 --> 00:28:20,033
You know what?
352
00:28:20,033 --> 00:28:23,787
How about I leave the room and let
you record your whining in private.
353
00:28:23,871 --> 00:28:25,873
Fine!
354
00:28:28,792 --> 00:28:34,173
I've been keeping a record of Dr Weir's questionable
activities, which I would like to detail for you now.
355
00:29:09,166 --> 00:29:10,792
I never cared for dogs.
356
00:29:10,792 --> 00:29:13,170
Too much work, too needy, too unpredictable.
357
00:29:13,212 --> 00:29:16,089
I mean, you leave one door open,
the tiniest little cracks, and they're gone.
358
00:29:16,173 --> 00:29:21,053
You look for them, you put up fliers, it's no use.
And since your father refused to pay for a license,
359
00:29:21,053 --> 00:29:24,389
the animal shelter has no way of tracking them.
360
00:29:24,431 --> 00:29:27,100
God knows what happened to that little guy.
361
00:29:27,100 --> 00:29:29,770
Now cats, now that's a whole different story.
362
00:29:29,811 --> 00:29:33,857
Cats are self sufficient, they're dependable,
you shake the box they come running.
363
00:29:33,899 --> 00:29:36,235
Some people say it's the food, but my cat... See,
364
00:29:36,276 --> 00:29:38,445
I truly believe he enjoys my company.
365
00:29:38,487 --> 00:29:44,243
There's something very comforting about coming home from work at the
end of the day and having a familiar face waiting for you, you know?
366
00:29:44,284 --> 00:29:50,207
Still, I digress. Where was I. Right,
367
00:29:51,208 --> 00:29:52,543
leadership!
368
00:30:29,163 --> 00:30:30,414
Over here!
369
00:30:31,373 --> 00:30:33,208
It's alright, I'm a friend!
370
00:30:33,250 --> 00:30:35,586
Please, hurry! This way!
371
00:30:35,752 --> 00:30:38,463
Hurry! This way.
372
00:30:54,062 --> 00:30:55,439
How many of you remain?
373
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,691
I don't know, the Wraith are everywhere.
374
00:30:57,733 --> 00:31:00,986
Here, drink this. It is water.
375
00:31:01,278 --> 00:31:04,239
Oren, have you seen him?
376
00:31:04,656 --> 00:31:08,160
Not since before the Wraith arrived. Thank you.
377
00:31:10,078 --> 00:31:11,747
We must go now, the Wraith will find us.
378
00:31:11,788 --> 00:31:13,123
No they will not.
379
00:31:13,165 --> 00:31:16,335
Our ship has a shield which makes it invisible to them.
380
00:31:16,376 --> 00:31:17,961
You are safe here.
381
00:31:17,961 --> 00:31:23,008
Just rest, we will leave soon.
382
00:31:32,434 --> 00:31:38,607
Finally I would like say something
to the families of every member of this expedition.
383
00:31:38,732 --> 00:31:42,736
I wish I could tell you more
about what your loved ones are doing,
384
00:31:42,736 --> 00:31:45,572
and some day I hope you find out,
385
00:31:45,739 --> 00:31:48,742
because you will be amazed.
386
00:31:49,368 --> 00:31:55,415
But I will tell you that I could not be
more proud of each and every one of them.
387
00:31:55,916 --> 00:31:59,378
Their heroism has amazed me.
388
00:32:24,111 --> 00:32:26,405
Their resourcefulness has staggered me.
389
00:32:34,872 --> 00:32:35,706
Rodney go!
390
00:32:36,540 --> 00:32:36,957
Going!
391
00:32:41,336 --> 00:32:41,962
Now!
392
00:32:48,552 --> 00:32:52,472
We face a terrible enemy, and an uncertain future.
393
00:32:52,806 --> 00:32:55,309
But if we are never heard from again,
394
00:32:55,309 --> 00:33:00,939
know that your loved ones
did not face that uncertainty alone.
395
00:33:01,273 --> 00:33:04,151
We are facing our future together.
396
00:33:24,463 --> 00:33:25,964
Major!
397
00:33:29,968 --> 00:33:32,012
It's pretty ugly out there.
398
00:33:32,638 --> 00:33:34,556
Is this Oren's family?
399
00:33:34,723 --> 00:33:36,099
No.
400
00:33:38,227 --> 00:33:40,687
They have not seen Oren since the culling began.
401
00:33:40,687 --> 00:33:44,024
The village is pretty much wiped out.
402
00:33:54,243 --> 00:33:56,620
The gate just shut off.
403
00:33:56,787 --> 00:34:01,166
We should be able to dial up and get out of here
before the Wraith can do anything about it.
404
00:34:01,208 --> 00:34:03,877
Please Major, give Oren more time.
405
00:34:03,877 --> 00:34:06,755
If he was able to get here, he would be here by now.
406
00:34:06,797 --> 00:34:08,549
We've gotta get back.
407
00:34:09,466 --> 00:34:10,884
Then go.
408
00:34:11,134 --> 00:34:13,470
I will stay and search until day light,
you can return for me later.
409
00:34:13,512 --> 00:34:14,304
I can't do that.
410
00:34:14,346 --> 00:34:17,891
I consider Oren as family Major,
I am sorry if you cannot understand without...
411
00:34:17,891 --> 00:34:20,143
I understand it Teyla,
but that's not the point I am trying to...
412
00:34:20,185 --> 00:34:23,981
With or without you, I am staying.
413
00:34:26,358 --> 00:34:28,652
You won't make it.
414
00:34:29,361 --> 00:34:34,408
Then I ask that you stay as well,
just a little longer.
415
00:34:34,867 --> 00:34:39,329
Allow something good to come of this.
416
00:34:41,081 --> 00:34:46,044
Alright, we'll give him a little more time.
417
00:34:51,675 --> 00:34:53,969
I know you worry about me Mum,
418
00:34:54,011 --> 00:34:57,306
but somehow we've found a way
to arise to each challenge,
419
00:34:57,347 --> 00:34:59,433
so I wouldn't fret about my safety.
420
00:34:59,474 --> 00:35:04,938
It's the people here, from dozens of countries,
all connected by a single bond.
421
00:35:04,980 --> 00:35:07,274
We represent the people of Earth,
422
00:35:07,316 --> 00:35:10,068
and if there's one thing
I've discovered about we Earthlings,
423
00:35:10,110 --> 00:35:12,446
we're a scrappy bunch.
I wouldn't be surprised if I bring back...
424
00:35:12,488 --> 00:35:13,906
Doc, you can't say Earthlings.
425
00:35:13,947 --> 00:35:15,782
Your Mother doesn't have enough security clearance.
426
00:35:15,782 --> 00:35:18,911
She knows I'm from Earth son, it's not a bloody secret.
427
00:35:18,952 --> 00:35:19,620
Oh, right.
428
00:35:19,912 --> 00:35:22,080
Sorry mum... anyhow.
429
00:35:22,122 --> 00:35:25,209
Authorized using a prisoner
to test an experimental drug,
430
00:35:25,250 --> 00:35:27,794
in clear violation of the Geneva convention.
431
00:35:27,836 --> 00:35:29,588
Authorized lowering the Stargate shield
432
00:35:29,630 --> 00:35:33,467
when the authenticity of
incoming travellers was clearly in question.
433
00:35:33,634 --> 00:35:36,178
That's another sight I'll die without having seen.
434
00:35:36,178 --> 00:35:40,265
See, to be fair
- when you've travelled as much as I've travelled, you'd think that missing Niagra Falls would be no big deal.
435
00:35:40,307 --> 00:35:42,059
But you know what? It gnaws at you.
436
00:35:42,100 --> 00:35:45,103
Alot of movies I wish I'd seen, that I won't see now.
437
00:35:45,145 --> 00:35:47,981
Never saw Grease even though I had a thing
for Olivia Newton John when I was a kid.
438
00:35:48,023 --> 00:35:54,655
I always wanted to see Ghandi, only saw the first half
of the Sixth Sense, always wondered how that ended.
439
00:35:54,696 --> 00:35:57,157
My sister...
440
00:35:57,574 --> 00:36:02,913
Ford if you cut everything else,
just keep this part okay?
441
00:36:03,455 --> 00:36:08,836
Jenny, it's your brother Rodney. Obviously.
442
00:36:09,253 --> 00:36:13,006
I wanna say, umm...
443
00:36:13,048 --> 00:36:16,093
I wanna say something.
444
00:36:17,261 --> 00:36:20,097
Family is important.
445
00:36:20,347 --> 00:36:26,478
I've come to realize that because the people here
have become a sort of surrogate family to me.
446
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:31,066
Now I know what you're thinking, I've never been
the poster child for that kind of sentiment but...
447
00:36:31,108 --> 00:36:38,782
when one's contemplating their own demise,
one sees things more clearly.
448
00:36:38,949 --> 00:36:41,618
I really do wish you the best, you know.
449
00:36:41,660 --> 00:36:43,954
And I'm sorry we weren't closer.
450
00:36:43,996 --> 00:36:45,831
Perhaps,...
451
00:36:47,875 --> 00:36:51,378
if by chance I make it out of this,
perhaps one day we can be.
452
00:36:51,420 --> 00:36:53,922
And I would like that.
453
00:36:54,339 --> 00:37:00,971
Now, if there's time, I'd like to go
back to the subject of leadership.
454
00:37:02,306 --> 00:37:04,850
Someone's coming.
455
00:37:19,031 --> 00:37:21,241
Oren!
456
00:37:22,075 --> 00:37:22,451
Oren!
457
00:37:22,493 --> 00:37:23,952
How big is his family?
458
00:37:23,994 --> 00:37:25,704
They must have met up with others along the way.
459
00:37:25,746 --> 00:37:27,331
That's gonna be a problem.
460
00:37:27,372 --> 00:37:29,166
I didn't think you'd still be here.
461
00:37:29,166 --> 00:37:30,417
We would not have gone without you.
462
00:37:30,459 --> 00:37:33,754
We found others on the way,
and even more further behind.
463
00:37:33,754 --> 00:37:35,130
How many more?
464
00:37:35,172 --> 00:37:37,633
Twelve, perhaps more.
465
00:37:37,674 --> 00:37:39,426
In here,
466
00:37:39,676 --> 00:37:43,305
this way! Quickly!
467
00:37:43,347 --> 00:37:46,475
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
468
00:37:51,939 --> 00:37:53,607
Alright, we'll fit as many people as we can!
469
00:37:53,649 --> 00:37:56,235
Hurry, come on!
470
00:37:57,027 --> 00:37:59,655
Straight ahead! Straight ahead!
471
00:38:03,075 --> 00:38:04,743
Hurry!
472
00:38:09,206 --> 00:38:10,040
It's alright.
473
00:38:10,249 --> 00:38:11,375
It's alright.
474
00:39:20,569 --> 00:39:23,197
Are our guests comfortably settled in?
475
00:39:23,405 --> 00:39:24,364
Yes.
476
00:39:24,406 --> 00:39:25,782
Good.
477
00:39:27,493 --> 00:39:28,994
So tell me,
478
00:39:29,661 --> 00:39:31,330
how bad is it?
479
00:39:31,663 --> 00:39:32,915
Bad.
480
00:39:35,125 --> 00:39:39,129
Each hive ship acts like a carrier group with
481
00:39:39,171 --> 00:39:42,758
cruisers and hundreds of darts escorting it.
482
00:39:42,799 --> 00:39:46,595
Groden's downloading the sensor readings right now.
483
00:39:46,637 --> 00:39:49,556
I've never witnessed a culling that took so many.
484
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:54,019
We saved a few, that's worth something.
485
00:39:54,645 --> 00:39:56,813
Rodney, are we ready to send our message?
486
00:39:56,855 --> 00:39:57,981
When you are.
487
00:39:58,023 --> 00:40:00,108
OK.
488
00:40:06,782 --> 00:40:11,245
Lieutenant Ford is just finishing recording
personal messages from all the team members,
489
00:40:11,286 --> 00:40:11,912
if you'd like?
490
00:40:11,954 --> 00:40:14,206
I'm good.
491
00:40:14,790 --> 00:40:15,791
Okay.
492
00:40:15,833 --> 00:40:17,751
Well along with a short note of my own,
493
00:40:17,751 --> 00:40:21,421
I took the liberty of recording messages
for the families of the people we've lost.
494
00:40:21,421 --> 00:40:22,214
That's a good idea.
495
00:40:22,214 --> 00:40:24,174
But there's one in particular,
496
00:40:24,216 --> 00:40:29,054
I thought maybe you'd might like to do for yourself.
497
00:40:33,475 --> 00:40:36,687
Okay, whenever you're ready Sir. Go ahead.
498
00:40:37,187 --> 00:40:41,859
I'm not sure if Colonel Sumner's
parents are still alive.
499
00:40:41,900 --> 00:40:46,155
I'm not even sure he has
a family back there, not all of us do.
500
00:40:46,196 --> 00:40:48,657
But if he does have a family,
501
00:40:48,657 --> 00:40:51,493
they should know that he died with...
502
00:40:51,535 --> 00:40:56,498
honour and courage in the perfomance of his duty.
503
00:40:56,582 --> 00:41:02,337
He carried the burden of a leader,
and he carried it well.
504
00:41:02,421 --> 00:41:06,175
I didn't get the chance to know him well, but...
505
00:41:06,175 --> 00:41:08,677
I know this,
506
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:14,057
considering the type of man
he was and what we're up against,
507
00:41:14,099 --> 00:41:18,604
yeah I wish he was still here.
508
00:41:18,604 --> 00:41:22,649
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you Simon.
509
00:41:22,691 --> 00:41:25,277
There's so much I want to tell you
510
00:41:25,319 --> 00:41:27,738
and share with you.
511
00:41:27,905 --> 00:41:30,491
But I can't.
512
00:41:31,617 --> 00:41:34,244
I know this is unfair,
513
00:41:34,286 --> 00:41:36,538
so much you don't know,
514
00:41:36,580 --> 00:41:40,417
and putting your life on hold for me.
515
00:41:42,044 --> 00:41:44,922
So don't,
516
00:41:44,963 --> 00:41:48,675
all I ask is that you take care of yourself.
517
00:41:48,717 --> 00:41:51,803
And know that wherever you are,
518
00:41:51,845 --> 00:41:55,140
my heart is looking after you.
519
00:41:55,599 --> 00:41:57,392
So take care of yourself,
520
00:41:57,434 --> 00:41:58,810
lots of sleep
521
00:41:58,852 --> 00:42:00,812
and remember your daily walks,
522
00:42:00,812 --> 00:42:03,565
and keep up with your prescription.
523
00:42:03,607 --> 00:42:05,734
Well that's about it,
524
00:42:05,776 --> 00:42:07,945
I'll say goodbye now.
525
00:42:09,196 --> 00:42:11,114
And mum,
526
00:42:11,365 --> 00:42:12,825
I do love you.
527
00:42:13,075 --> 00:42:15,744
Bye Grandma, Grandpa - I miss you!
528
00:42:16,036 --> 00:42:17,246
Goodbye bro!
529
00:42:20,874 --> 00:42:21,708
Goodbye.
530
00:42:22,417 --> 00:42:24,378
Goodbye Simon.
531
00:42:25,671 --> 00:42:26,755
Goodbye.
532
00:42:35,639 --> 00:42:39,393
We have unscheduled offworld activation!
533
00:42:42,896 --> 00:42:44,648
Receiving transmission.
534
00:42:48,902 --> 00:42:50,571
Who's it from?
535
00:42:52,698 --> 00:42:54,241
Atlantis.
