How much longer do you think it'll wait? 28 00:02:14,327 --> 00:02:15,806 Hi. What are you talking about? 29 00:02:17,487 --> 00:02:19,159 The Daimos. 30 00:02:21,447 --> 00:02:22,721 Never heard of it. 31 00:02:23,527 --> 00:02:25,597 It lives in the forest. It'll be feeding soon. 32 00:02:25,807 --> 00:02:28,275 And it is, what, some kind of an animal or...? 33 00:02:28,487 --> 00:02:31,001 It's a creature. It has the appearance of a man, 34 00:02:31,607 --> 00:02:33,996 but it can suck the very life from your bones, 35 00:02:34,167 --> 00:02:37,239 leaves only a dead, withered husk behind. 36 00:02:38,367 --> 00:02:39,800 Sounds familiar. 37 00:03:45,847 --> 00:03:49,681 Look, uh, we know you're not used to dealing with strangers, 38 00:03:49,847 --> 00:03:53,044 but we may be able to help you with this problem you're having. 39 00:03:53,247 --> 00:03:55,715 We're used to dealing with this kind of thing. 40 00:03:58,367 --> 00:04:00,278 We call them the Wraith. 41 00:04:00,447 --> 00:04:03,359 These are the creatures from the old stories? From the time of the cullings? 42 00:04:03,687 --> 00:04:06,838 So you have heard of them. The histories of them are incomplete. 43 00:04:07,447 --> 00:04:11,440 They tell of the great ships that descended from the sky, but there's no description of the Wraiths themselves. 44 00:04:11,607 --> 00:04:14,679 Although there were a few among us who guessed the Daimos might be one of them. 45 00:04:14,847 --> 00:04:16,724 Why? 46 00:04:17,127 --> 00:04:19,516 Because it, too, came from the sky. 47 00:04:21,567 --> 00:04:23,922 GORAN It was about 10 years ago. 48 00:04:29,087 --> 00:04:32,477 A bright light appeared above the village. 49 00:04:34,127 --> 00:04:36,277 It crashed into the hills. 50 00:04:37,127 --> 00:04:39,641 We didn't know what it was... 51 00:04:39,807 --> 00:04:41,877 but people were terrified. 52 00:04:42,047 --> 00:04:44,038 Hurry, get in the house. Come on. 53 00:04:45,967 --> 00:04:49,118 I went with some of the other men to investigate. 54 00:04:56,767 --> 00:04:58,598 We found the wreckage, 55 00:04:58,767 --> 00:05:02,123 a few wounded survivors. 56 00:05:03,927 --> 00:05:05,804 We didn't know what they were. 57 00:05:07,687 --> 00:05:10,599 We decided to take no chances. 58 00:05:24,327 --> 00:05:27,763 We slaughtered them, burned the bodies. 59 00:05:27,967 --> 00:05:29,605 Wise decision. 60 00:05:29,767 --> 00:05:31,803 Unfortunately, we didn't get them all. 61 00:05:32,007 --> 00:05:36,319 And although none of us saw it, evidently one of them survived. 62 00:05:41,927 --> 00:05:44,885 It took its first victim that very night. 63 00:05:46,567 --> 00:05:48,205 We tried to hunt it down. 64 00:05:48,767 --> 00:05:50,883 We couldn't find it. 65 00:05:51,367 --> 00:05:55,918 It's been out there ever since. It feeds three, four times a year. 66 00:05:56,367 --> 00:05:59,404 Takes two or three people each time. 67 00:06:01,687 --> 00:06:04,155 Two years after the crash, it took my own son. 68 00:06:11,887 --> 00:06:13,206 That's it? 69 00:06:13,367 --> 00:06:16,120 One Wraith in the forest? Yes. 70 00:06:16,327 --> 00:06:17,680 I'll be done by morning. 71 00:06:17,847 --> 00:06:21,965 Whoa, whoa, whoa. We'll all go together, in the daylight. 72 00:06:22,967 --> 00:06:24,639 You're really gonna help us? 73 00:06:24,807 --> 00:06:27,196 Well, like the man said, it's just one Wraith. 74 00:06:27,687 --> 00:06:30,645 It'd be downright unneighbourly if we didn't. 75 00:06:31,127 --> 00:06:34,085 In that case, drinks are on me. 76 00:06:35,647 --> 00:06:39,037 Uh, well, let's not forget the food. 77 00:06:47,327 --> 00:06:49,636 What? Is it true? 78 00:06:49,807 --> 00:06:52,799 You're going to hunt the Daimos? It looks that way. 79 00:06:52,967 --> 00:06:56,482 I heard it has two heads and it can turn you to stone just by looking at you. 80 00:06:56,647 --> 00:06:57,921 Well, you heard wrong. 81 00:06:58,087 --> 00:07:00,555 My uncle says it'll come and take me if I don't do my chores. 82 00:07:00,727 --> 00:07:03,605 He said that, huh? Well, then if we get rid of it, you got nothing to worry about. 83 00:07:03,767 --> 00:07:06,042 You'll never have to do chores again. Really? 84 00:07:06,207 --> 00:07:08,721 Yes. Look, go away. 85 00:07:12,047 --> 00:07:13,639 What? 86 00:07:13,807 --> 00:07:15,957 As far as we know, no one was taken last night. 87 00:07:16,127 --> 00:07:18,197 But it will strike, and soon. 88 00:07:18,367 --> 00:07:22,679 We'll kill it before that happens. You must be great at parties. 89 00:07:45,247 --> 00:07:48,159 We're talking about 100 square miles of forest here. 90 00:07:48,327 --> 00:07:52,320 Be patient. Ronon's been going up against the Wraith one-on-one for the last seven years. 91 00:07:52,487 --> 00:07:54,318 If anyone can track this thing, it's him. 92 00:07:54,487 --> 00:07:57,604 And exactly how is he gonna do that, huh? 93 00:07:57,767 --> 00:07:59,439 It helps to have good hearing. 94 00:08:00,807 --> 00:08:02,479 Right. 95 00:08:03,807 --> 00:08:05,638 Carry on. 96 00:08:16,127 --> 00:08:18,880 What about you? You sensing anything? 97 00:08:19,367 --> 00:08:22,916 I am not sure. What do you mean? 98 00:08:23,087 --> 00:08:25,282 There is a presence here, 99 00:08:25,447 --> 00:08:28,007 but it is different. 100 00:08:28,167 --> 00:08:30,283 I cannot quite explain it. 101 00:08:40,567 --> 00:08:42,285 It's in there. 102 00:08:44,087 --> 00:08:45,805 Ronon! 103 00:08:45,967 --> 00:08:47,446 Damn it. 104 00:09:28,367 --> 00:09:29,561 It's in there. 105 00:09:29,727 --> 00:09:31,001 Was it Wraith? Yeah. 106 00:09:31,167 --> 00:09:32,156 You see it? No. 107 00:09:32,327 --> 00:09:34,158 Well, so how do you know? Ronon is correct. 108 00:09:34,327 --> 00:09:36,761 I can definitely sense it now. 109 00:10:00,487 --> 00:10:01,920 A female. 110 00:10:09,807 --> 00:10:11,286 Ellia? 111 00:10:14,487 --> 00:10:17,081 Get out of the way. ZADDIK: No. Please, don't shoot. 112 00:10:17,687 --> 00:10:19,996 She's not what you think. 113 00:10:21,927 --> 00:10:23,838 She's my daughter. 114 00:10:33,127 --> 00:10:34,924 She means you no harm. 115 00:10:35,127 --> 00:10:37,004 She's a Wraith. ZADDIK: Maybe so. 116 00:10:37,207 --> 00:10:39,357 But she's different. I swear to you. 117 00:10:39,567 --> 00:10:41,797 Let me guess. Wraith with a heart of gold? 118 00:10:41,967 --> 00:10:45,198 She doesn't feed. She's never taken a human life. 119 00:10:45,407 --> 00:10:46,920 How is that possible? 120 00:10:47,407 --> 00:10:48,556 Please, 121 00:10:48,727 --> 00:10:52,402 just lower your weapons, and I'll explain it to you. 122 00:11:01,047 --> 00:11:03,242 It's all right. Father- 123 00:11:03,407 --> 00:11:05,762 No, I won't let them hurt you. 124 00:11:10,367 --> 00:11:13,279 I raised her as my own. 125 00:11:13,487 --> 00:11:15,125 You live here? Together? 126 00:11:15,287 --> 00:11:19,405 This was part of a mine before the last culling. 127 00:11:20,727 --> 00:11:25,596 It's not much to look at, I know, but we don't have much choice. 128 00:11:26,007 --> 00:11:28,123 The people of the village would not understand. 129 00:11:28,287 --> 00:11:30,243 Gee, I wonder why. 130 00:11:32,167 --> 00:11:34,681 The villagers told us there was a Wraith in the forest. 131 00:11:34,847 --> 00:11:37,361 It came here in a crashed ship 10 years ago. 132 00:11:37,807 --> 00:11:41,720 Ten years ago? Ellia was just a child. 133 00:11:42,767 --> 00:11:44,678 Do you really think that she could be responsible 134 00:11:44,847 --> 00:11:47,122 for the deaths that happened immediately after the crash? 135 00:11:47,327 --> 00:11:49,204 So you know about that, then? 136 00:11:50,567 --> 00:11:52,444 I was there. 137 00:11:52,727 --> 00:11:55,366 I helped kill the survivors. 138 00:11:56,567 --> 00:12:01,243 ZADDIK But when I found a young female lying unconscious 139 00:12:01,407 --> 00:12:04,558 some distance from the crash... 140 00:12:08,607 --> 00:12:10,882 I couldn't bring myself to hurt her. 141 00:12:11,047 --> 00:12:16,565 I brought her here to this cave to hide her from the others. 142 00:12:16,767 --> 00:12:19,122 To this day, the people of the village don't know. 143 00:12:19,287 --> 00:12:21,755 And you must promise not to tell them. 144 00:12:25,727 --> 00:12:28,036 She's not responsible for what's been happening. 145 00:12:28,247 --> 00:12:29,760 Then who is? 146 00:12:30,447 --> 00:12:32,836 I believe another Wraith survived the crash. 147 00:12:33,727 --> 00:12:35,604 An adult. 148 00:12:36,327 --> 00:12:38,318 That's who you should be looking for. 149 00:12:38,487 --> 00:12:41,524 If she does not feed, how does she live? 150 00:12:43,127 --> 00:12:46,164 ZADDIK: At first, I fed her as you would any child... 151 00:12:47,567 --> 00:12:49,603 and that seemed to suffice. 152 00:12:50,367 --> 00:12:53,086 But then something began to change. 153 00:12:53,247 --> 00:12:56,000 The food no longer gave her any sustenance. 154 00:12:56,167 --> 00:12:59,762 There was a hunger growing in her that would not be satisfied. 155 00:13:00,447 --> 00:13:03,200 I heard the stories of the other creature, 156 00:13:03,367 --> 00:13:05,676 what it did to survive, 157 00:13:05,847 --> 00:13:08,566 and I was afraid that was what Ellia would become. 158 00:13:09,807 --> 00:13:11,399 And so I 159 00:13:11,767 --> 00:13:14,361 started to experiment. 160 00:13:14,927 --> 00:13:17,999 I have extensive knowledge of the chemical properties 161 00:13:18,167 --> 00:13:22,922 of various medicinal plants that grow in this forest. 162 00:13:23,087 --> 00:13:25,521 Are you interested in science? 163 00:13:25,687 --> 00:13:28,076 I'm not sure that's what I would call this, but yes. 164 00:13:28,687 --> 00:13:32,965 Ellia's hunger was growing stronger every day, and I wasn't sure that I could do anything for her. 165 00:13:33,527 --> 00:13:36,724 But eventually... 166 00:13:39,047 --> 00:13:41,356 I came up with this. 167 00:13:51,127 --> 00:13:54,244 A drug that allows the Wraith to survive without feeding? 168 00:13:54,407 --> 00:13:56,762 That's what he said. Is such a thing even possible? 169 00:13:56,967 --> 00:14:00,118 We don't know enough about Wraith physiology to say for certain. 170 00:14:00,287 --> 00:14:02,437 Although, I must admit it's intriguing that this Dr. Zaddik claims 171 00:14:02,607 --> 00:14:04,916 the Wraith survived on normal food for a time. 172 00:14:05,127 --> 00:14:06,401 Why? 173 00:14:06,567 --> 00:14:09,718 Well, to tell the truth, it might be the answer to a very puzzling question. 174 00:14:09,887 --> 00:14:12,799 Right now, our best guess is that the Wraith evolved from the Iratus bug. 175 00:14:13,007 --> 00:14:15,805 Like the one that attached itself to my neck a year ago? 176 00:14:16,007 --> 00:14:17,725 That's right. I hate those bugs. 177 00:14:17,887 --> 00:14:19,286 Trust me, I know. 178 00:14:20,167 --> 00:14:22,203 We speculated that they evolved into the Wraith 179 00:14:22,367 --> 00:14:25,882 when they began to take on the characteristics of the humans they were feeding on. 180 00:14:26,087 --> 00:14:28,840 Now, there are many aspects of human physiology that are quite useful. 181 00:14:29,007 --> 00:14:32,522 Bipedal motion, opposable thumbs, large brain capacity. 182 00:14:32,687 --> 00:14:36,999 But the human digestive system serves no purpose in the adult Wraith. 183 00:14:37,167 --> 00:14:38,520 So why have one at all? 184 00:14:38,727 --> 00:14:40,922 Because they eat normal food when they're young. 185 00:14:41,087 --> 00:14:45,126 Exactly. Then at some point, they lose the ability to sustain themselves with that food. 186 00:14:45,327 --> 00:14:48,763 So it's a teenage thing. Pimples, rebellion, life-sucking. 187 00:14:48,967 --> 00:14:51,879 Something like that. The question is, what causes it? 188 00:14:52,047 --> 00:14:55,517 If it's due to some chemical deficiency like a diabetic's inability to process sugar, 189 00:14:55,687 --> 00:14:58,884 then it's possible it may be addressed with some kind of drug. 190 00:14:59,087 --> 00:15:01,078 Zaddik could be telling the truth. 191 00:15:01,247 --> 00:15:03,522 I'd like to go to the planet and check into it. 192 00:15:03,727 --> 00:15:07,515 Is that really necessary? I'm sure we could get a sample, bring it back here for you to analyse. 193 00:15:07,727 --> 00:15:09,638 It's not just the drug I'm interested in. 194 00:15:09,807 --> 00:15:12,116 This young Wraith could be very important for our research. 195 00:15:12,287 --> 00:15:13,322 What research? 196 00:15:13,647 --> 00:15:16,639 We're working on a retrovirus that would alter Wraith DNA, 197 00:15:17,127 --> 00:15:20,085 essentially stripping out the Iratus bug elements of their genetic code 198 00:15:20,247 --> 00:15:22,238 and leaving only the human aspects behind. 199 00:15:22,807 --> 00:15:26,163 A drug that turns Wraith into humans? Effectively, yes. 200 00:15:26,367 --> 00:15:27,925 But so far, we haven't had much success. 201 00:15:28,087 --> 00:15:31,238 Partly because we lack the living tissue and blood samples we need to test it. 202 00:15:32,087 --> 00:15:34,726 You think this girl would be willing to provide them? 203 00:15:34,887 --> 00:15:36,764 Look, I realize we can't bring her back to Atlantis, 204 00:15:36,967 --> 00:15:41,324 but I could take the retrovirus and the equipment necessary for the analysis with me to the planet. 205 00:15:42,287 --> 00:15:46,565 A few days with a cooperative test subject could be worth months of theoretical research. 206 00:15:47,367 --> 00:15:51,758 Elizabeth, I don't have to tell you how important this could be for us. 207 00:15:54,767 --> 00:15:57,042 Is she dangerous? She's a Wraith. 208 00:15:57,767 --> 00:16:00,201 Although I have to admit... 209 00:16:01,167 --> 00:16:03,522 she does seem a little different. 210 00:16:09,407 --> 00:16:13,366 Remember, the leaves must be dried and finely ground. 211 00:16:13,527 --> 00:16:16,997 Like this? A little more. 212 00:16:18,247 --> 00:16:23,958 Now, why is distillation an important step? 213 00:16:26,167 --> 00:16:29,523 To remove the toxins from the Ferassin root? 214 00:16:30,127 --> 00:16:31,685 Precisely. 215 00:16:32,047 --> 00:16:36,404 We wouldn't want the serum to send you into paralytic shock now, would we? 216 00:16:36,567 --> 00:16:38,319 No, Father. 217 00:16:41,527 --> 00:16:44,917 Seriously, have you seen anything like this before? 218 00:16:45,087 --> 00:16:46,805 No, I have not. 219 00:16:46,967 --> 00:16:50,039 She is unlike any Wraith I've ever encountered. 220 00:16:50,727 --> 00:16:52,763 What if it's all an act? 221 00:16:53,727 --> 00:16:55,957 If she were a killer, why would he protect her? 222 00:16:56,127 --> 00:16:59,039 Maybe the act is for his benefit too? 223 00:16:59,487 --> 00:17:01,398 No, they live here together, Rodney. 224 00:17:01,567 --> 00:17:04,320 If she were like other Wraith, he would be her first victim. 225 00:17:04,487 --> 00:17:06,603 SHEPPARD Teyla, this is Sheppard. 226 00:17:07,887 --> 00:17:11,323 Go ahead. We just got back with Beckett. 227 00:17:11,487 --> 00:17:14,718 Ronon's gonna take him up to the cave. I'm gonna check in with the villagers. 228 00:17:14,887 --> 00:17:16,479 TEYLA What are you going to tell them? 229 00:17:16,647 --> 00:17:18,877 I'm still working on that. 230 00:17:30,607 --> 00:17:34,202 This equipment's remarkable. Where did you get it? 231 00:17:34,367 --> 00:17:36,085 Oh, here and there. 232 00:17:36,247 --> 00:17:38,442 Let's start by analysing that drug of yours, shall we? 233 00:17:38,607 --> 00:17:41,997 Oh, yes. Of course. Would you like some tea? 234 00:17:42,287 --> 00:17:45,085 Oh. Thank you. 235 00:17:47,807 --> 00:17:50,162 Oh, no, thank you. 236 00:17:51,527 --> 00:17:53,358 Would you like some? No. 237 00:17:53,527 --> 00:17:55,518 Are you sure? It's very good. 238 00:17:55,687 --> 00:17:57,723 I said, no. 239 00:18:06,127 --> 00:18:08,277 Maybe some biscuits? I baked them myself. 240 00:18:08,487 --> 00:18:09,476 Stay away from me! 241 00:18:11,367 --> 00:18:13,085 Ronon. 242 00:18:38,287 --> 00:18:41,643 It's all right. It's okay. 243 00:18:41,807 --> 00:18:44,526 They hate me, don't they, Father? No. 244 00:18:44,687 --> 00:18:48,965 No, no, no. They just don't know you. 245 00:18:52,607 --> 00:18:54,279 Was that really necessary? 246 00:18:54,447 --> 00:18:58,918 You can dress her up and teach her table manners, but it's not gonna change who she is. 247 00:19:05,367 --> 00:19:07,801 SHEPPARD Teyla, this is Sheppard. Come in. 248 00:19:07,967 --> 00:19:11,198 Go ahead, colonel. Is Ellia still in the cave? 249 00:19:11,407 --> 00:19:13,284 Yes. Has she been there the whole time? 250 00:19:13,447 --> 00:19:16,041 Yes. Why? I just found another victim. 251 00:19:16,887 --> 00:19:18,878 Apparently he's only been missing a couple of hours, 252 00:19:19,047 --> 00:19:21,197 which means she couldn't have done it. 253 00:19:21,727 --> 00:19:26,039 Looks like Zaddik might've been telling the truth after all. 254 00:19:30,047 --> 00:19:31,526 We must defend ourselves. 255 00:19:31,687 --> 00:19:32,836 There they are. 256 00:19:33,007 --> 00:19:35,999 Colonel Sheppard, is there any progress with this hunt? 257 00:19:36,167 --> 00:19:38,078 We're working on it. Maybe we could help you. 258 00:19:38,247 --> 00:19:40,522 That won't be necessary. We're sick of doing nothing. 259 00:19:40,687 --> 00:19:43,963 We're sick of being afraid all the time. That thing is hunting in daylight now. 260 00:19:44,127 --> 00:19:47,483 We'll never be safe. Just be patient. 261 00:19:47,967 --> 00:19:49,559 We'll take care of it. 262 00:19:51,687 --> 00:19:55,475 You see? I told you she wasn't responsible for the killings. 263 00:19:55,647 --> 00:19:58,719 The serum makes it unnecessary for her to feed. 264 00:19:58,887 --> 00:20:01,242 Can you confirm that? 265 00:20:01,407 --> 00:20:04,126 Not yet. It'll be a while before I can complete my analysis. 266 00:20:04,287 --> 00:20:05,606 Right. 267 00:20:05,767 --> 00:20:09,043 Well, in the meantime, there's another Wraith out there. 268 00:20:09,207 --> 00:20:12,517 I believe Ellia may be able to help us find it. 269 00:20:12,687 --> 00:20:14,405 How? 270 00:20:15,527 --> 00:20:17,722 May I speak with her? 271 00:20:19,287 --> 00:20:21,146 All right. 272 00:20:26,146 --> 00:20:28,057 May I join you? 273 00:20:36,906 --> 00:20:38,658 Ellia, we need your help. 274 00:20:41,546 --> 00:20:43,457 You can sense the other Wraith. 275 00:20:47,146 --> 00:20:48,898 It is all right. 276 00:20:49,906 --> 00:20:53,945 It is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, I have the same ability. 277 00:20:54,146 --> 00:20:55,977 Really? 278 00:20:56,506 --> 00:20:59,578 I sensed you in the forest, when you were watching us. 279 00:20:59,746 --> 00:21:02,135 And I knew even then that you were different. 280 00:21:03,386 --> 00:21:07,140 Your father has raised you well. He has taught you right from wrong. 281 00:21:08,386 --> 00:21:10,854 You are not like the other one. 282 00:21:12,306 --> 00:21:14,695 I don't let him in. 283 00:21:15,506 --> 00:21:17,781 I don't like what he shows me. 284 00:21:17,946 --> 00:21:19,220 I know. 285 00:21:20,586 --> 00:21:23,339 But you have to try now. We need to find him. 286 00:21:24,626 --> 00:21:26,662 You don't understand. 287 00:21:27,706 --> 00:21:30,937 I have tried myself, but I can get nothing. 288 00:21:32,426 --> 00:21:34,178 Please. 289 00:21:37,586 --> 00:21:39,542 All right. 290 00:21:40,466 --> 00:21:42,184 Good. 291 00:21:44,746 --> 00:21:46,976 Now concentrate. 292 00:21:59,826 --> 00:22:01,578 Try again. 293 00:22:25,266 --> 00:22:27,541 I saw a river. 294 00:22:28,146 --> 00:22:30,057 Zaddik? 295 00:22:31,066 --> 00:22:34,854 Is there a river nearby? Yes, just to the east. 296 00:22:35,706 --> 00:22:37,981 All right, let's go. McKay, stay here and help Beckett. 297 00:22:38,146 --> 00:22:41,104 Uh, medical research is not my thing. And hunting Wraith? 298 00:22:41,306 --> 00:22:43,774 But, I mean, I can stay and help Beckett. 299 00:22:48,066 --> 00:22:52,105 Never could get into biology. There's just too much information about the human body. 300 00:22:52,266 --> 00:22:55,815 One time, I took it as an undergrad, I diagnosed myself with half a dozen separate medical conditions 301 00:22:55,986 --> 00:22:58,102 before I had to drop the class. Really? 302 00:22:58,266 --> 00:23:00,655 Yeah, believe it or not, back then I was a bit of a hypochondriac. 303 00:23:00,826 --> 00:23:03,386 You know, this does require a certain amount of concentration. 304 00:23:03,546 --> 00:23:06,060 What, am I bothering you? 305 00:23:07,266 --> 00:23:09,063 Maybe I'll go get some air. 306 00:23:18,826 --> 00:23:21,818 This must be the river she saw in her vision. 307 00:23:21,986 --> 00:23:24,705 Assuming she's telling the truth. 308 00:23:24,906 --> 00:23:28,342 Just because there's another Wraith doesn't necessarily mean you can trust her. 309 00:23:33,346 --> 00:23:35,257 What do you got? 310 00:23:35,426 --> 00:23:38,224 Fresh tracks. It's him. 311 00:23:38,426 --> 00:23:39,825 Now do you believe? 312 00:23:39,986 --> 00:23:43,023 I still think there's something more to this than she and Zaddik are telling us. 313 00:23:43,186 --> 00:23:46,223 He's heading upstream, into the hills. 314 00:23:53,586 --> 00:23:56,498 Let me ask you something. 315 00:23:56,706 --> 00:23:59,584 If you can prove to everyone that I'm telling the truth, 316 00:23:59,746 --> 00:24:02,180 that Ellia no longer needs to feed, 317 00:24:02,386 --> 00:24:05,025 do you think the villagers would accept her? 318 00:24:07,346 --> 00:24:09,940 That's what I'm afraid of. 319 00:24:10,346 --> 00:24:13,099 No matter how hard we try to convince them, 320 00:24:13,266 --> 00:24:15,905 they'll always see her as a monster. 321 00:24:18,746 --> 00:24:22,864 I'm getting old, doctor. Oh, you've got lots of time. 322 00:24:24,746 --> 00:24:27,021 Never have as much as we think we have. 323 00:24:27,826 --> 00:24:30,624 And when I'm gone, she'll be alone. 324 00:24:32,506 --> 00:24:36,181 I tried to teach her about love 325 00:24:36,346 --> 00:24:39,702 and human companionship. 326 00:24:40,546 --> 00:24:42,582 But that's exactly what she'll never have. 327 00:24:47,026 --> 00:24:49,142 Zaddik, there's something I want to show you. 328 00:24:52,226 --> 00:24:56,105 I didn't say anything at first, because I didn't wanna get your hopes up. 329 00:24:59,626 --> 00:25:03,175 It's a retrovirus, something I've been working on. 330 00:25:03,346 --> 00:25:04,904 Uh, I don't understand. 331 00:25:05,866 --> 00:25:07,663 Oh, God. How am I gonna explain this? 332 00:25:08,906 --> 00:25:11,295 Part of Ellia is human. 333 00:25:12,386 --> 00:25:15,423 And part of her comes from a creature we call the Iratus bug. 334 00:25:15,626 --> 00:25:18,140 It's the part that makes her look the way she does 335 00:25:18,306 --> 00:25:20,422 and where her desire to feed comes from. 336 00:25:21,346 --> 00:25:23,814 Now, it's possible, by means of this retrovirus, 337 00:25:23,986 --> 00:25:26,056 we can strip away those parts 338 00:25:26,226 --> 00:25:29,935 and leave only the human parts behind. 339 00:25:30,346 --> 00:25:32,985 You mean she'd be like you and me? 340 00:25:34,026 --> 00:25:35,459 Yes. 341 00:25:35,626 --> 00:25:38,982 Now, I must warn you, the retrovirus is still experimental. 342 00:25:39,186 --> 00:25:41,859 In fact, it's only been tested on cell cultures in a laboratory. 343 00:25:42,026 --> 00:25:44,221 And so far, without much success. 344 00:25:44,546 --> 00:25:46,264 I'm hoping 345 00:25:46,746 --> 00:25:50,421 that what we can learn from your daughter will help me perfect it. 346 00:25:52,866 --> 00:25:56,017 We- We got a problem. Why didn't you just radio me? 347 00:25:56,186 --> 00:25:58,097 McKAY: Yeah, well, I could've, but... 348 00:26:44,306 --> 00:26:48,299 They decided to join the hunt. If they find Ellia, they'll kill her. 349 00:26:48,506 --> 00:26:51,225 McKAY: Sheppard, this is McKay. What is it, Rodney? 350 00:26:51,386 --> 00:26:53,946 Villagers are on the move. And it doesn't look like they're going to a picnic. 351 00:26:54,466 --> 00:26:56,104 Are they heading for the caves? 352 00:26:56,866 --> 00:27:00,779 Not at the moment, no. All right. Get back there and sit tight. 353 00:27:00,946 --> 00:27:02,220 We're losing time, guys. 354 00:27:09,346 --> 00:27:11,337 Ellia? 355 00:27:12,266 --> 00:27:14,143 Ellia? 356 00:27:14,666 --> 00:27:16,577 She's not here. 357 00:27:17,346 --> 00:27:19,223 Good Lord. What? 358 00:27:19,386 --> 00:27:20,899 She took the retrovirus. 359 00:27:21,386 --> 00:27:24,219 You said it wasn't ready. It's not. Not by a long shot. 360 00:27:25,146 --> 00:27:28,821 What'll it do to her? To be honest, I have no idea. 361 00:27:35,746 --> 00:27:37,623 Colonel Sheppard, come in. 362 00:27:37,786 --> 00:27:39,822 Go ahead. We've got another problem. 363 00:27:40,026 --> 00:27:42,665 Ellia's gone, and she's injected herself with the retrovirus. 364 00:27:43,586 --> 00:27:46,783 Why would she do that? She must've overheard us talking. 365 00:27:46,986 --> 00:27:49,580 I told Zaddik it might be the key to making her human. 366 00:27:49,786 --> 00:27:51,902 Please, you've got to find her before the villagers do. 367 00:27:52,426 --> 00:27:55,179 Look, Ronon says we're close. If we lose the trail now 368 00:27:55,346 --> 00:27:58,258 we may never catch the Wraith. Rodney and I will find her. 369 00:27:58,546 --> 00:28:01,538 All right, but be careful. Understood. 370 00:28:01,746 --> 00:28:04,135 I'll come with you. It's best if you stay here. 371 00:28:04,346 --> 00:28:07,895 Look, is there anywhere that she liked to go? Any favourite, uh, hiding spots or favourite places? 372 00:28:08,066 --> 00:28:11,615 Yes, she often goes off for hours at a time, up into the hills. 373 00:28:11,786 --> 00:28:15,574 I don't like it, but she doesn't listen.
