I don't even know who I am. 3 00:00:07,367 --> 00:00:10,564 I get the feeling like they know something, something they're not telling me. 4 00:00:10,767 --> 00:00:12,485 He's not human. 5 00:00:14,287 --> 00:00:15,561 I'm a Wraith. 6 00:00:16,807 --> 00:00:19,560 I'm returning to what I was. There are Wraith nearby. 7 00:00:20,407 --> 00:00:24,161 Not only has our lieutenant rejoined the Wraith, but he's taken with him the knowledge that Atlantis still exists. 8 00:00:24,327 --> 00:00:26,079 They will send another wave of hive ships. 9 00:00:26,247 --> 00:00:29,876 We've found a sister ship to the Aurora called the Orion. 10 00:00:30,047 --> 00:00:33,437 All chairs and seatbacks into your upright and locked positions. 11 00:00:33,887 --> 00:00:38,403 Be advised we have detected a hive ship heading towards Atlantis. 12 00:00:41,647 --> 00:00:43,763 All of my people have been safely relocated to the city. 13 00:00:43,927 --> 00:00:45,201 Did everything go smoothly? 14 00:00:45,367 --> 00:00:47,358 They're used to the back and forth by now. 15 00:00:47,567 --> 00:00:50,035 You picked up any of their contacts? Sergeant? 16 00:00:50,207 --> 00:00:53,597 Negative, ma'am. Scans are still clear. It looks like it's just the one hive ship. 17 00:00:53,767 --> 00:00:55,280 And our cloak? Up and running. 18 00:00:55,447 --> 00:00:58,484 All readings are in the green. Good. 19 00:00:58,647 --> 00:01:01,320 Colonel Caldwell, are you in position?

" 21 00:01:04,047 --> 00:01:05,082 WEIR Excellent. 22 00:01:05,287 --> 00:01:07,482 For the record, I still think we should be in orbit around Atlantis 23 00:01:07,647 --> 00:01:10,559 ready to open up on that hive ship the second it comes out of hyperspace. 24 00:01:10,767 --> 00:01:13,839 It's one hive, colonel, which suggests they might just be checking up on us. 25 00:01:14,007 --> 00:01:17,477 There's no need to confirm our presence if we don't have to. 26 00:01:17,807 --> 00:01:20,082 Just stand by. Standing by. 27 00:01:20,687 --> 00:01:22,598 Colonel Sheppard, how goes it on your end? 28 00:01:23,287 --> 00:01:24,561 We're out of sensor range, 29 00:01:24,727 --> 00:01:27,161 and all that, but whether or not we're ready to fight is another story. 30 00:01:27,327 --> 00:01:30,046 McKAY: Getting this ship up and running in under a month is a miracle. 31 00:01:30,247 --> 00:01:32,317 Do we start the beatification now or later? 32 00:01:33,007 --> 00:01:36,556 Rodney, if the hive opens up on us, I want Orion's drones. 33 00:01:36,767 --> 00:01:38,883 Which means we're gonna need the hyperdrive to get in position. 34 00:01:39,047 --> 00:01:41,607 Which means we'll need shields, which means you want everything. 35 00:01:41,807 --> 00:01:44,526 I like everything. Can we do it or not? Oh, don't get up. 36 00:01:44,687 --> 00:01:46,279 Shields? 37 00:01:47,687 --> 00:01:48,676 Yes. 38 00:01:48,847 --> 00:01:51,042 Jump into position? 39 00:01:51,407 --> 00:01:52,965 Maybe. 40 00:01:53,127 --> 00:01:55,004 Release the drones? 41 00:01:56,327 --> 00:01:57,442 Probably not. 42 00:01:57,607 --> 00:01:59,916 It's pointless to get in position if we can't fire. 43 00:02:00,087 --> 00:02:02,726 You know, let's talk about it for a really long time. 44 00:02:02,887 --> 00:02:04,320 That'll help for sure. 45 00:02:04,487 --> 00:02:07,524 Rodney is doing everything inhumanly possible to be ready. 46 00:02:07,727 --> 00:02:09,046 I have a contact. 47 00:02:17,767 --> 00:02:19,678 Atlantis, report. 48 00:02:19,887 --> 00:02:22,447 It's going into geosynchronous orbit. 49 00:02:22,607 --> 00:02:24,359 Hasn't armed any of its weapons. 50 00:02:24,567 --> 00:02:27,559 If they do, I want you to switch from cloak to shield as quickly as possible. 51 00:02:27,727 --> 00:02:30,241 Don't wait for my order.

WEIR: Why not? 65 00:04:14,887 --> 00:04:18,641 Where do you want me to start? We can safely say our cover is blown. 66 00:04:18,807 --> 00:04:22,561 I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. The message is from Michael, colonel. 67 00:04:22,847 --> 00:04:23,962 They know we're here. 68 00:04:24,167 --> 00:04:25,566 But they don't know exactly where. 69 00:04:25,727 --> 00:04:29,163 He's right.

Why the long delay? 87 00:05:40,247 --> 00:05:43,080 We needed to take a few precautions before contacting you. 88 00:05:43,287 --> 00:05:44,606 I'm sure you understand why. 89 00:05:45,487 --> 00:05:47,284 I said we would not harm you. 90 00:05:47,767 --> 00:05:50,804 Well, excuse me for not taking you at your word. 91 00:05:51,007 --> 00:05:53,601 You wanted to talk, we're listening.

Unfortunately, locating your planet 96 00:06:10,927 --> 00:06:14,840 and uncovering an effective means of transportation to get there 97 00:06:15,047 --> 00:06:17,720 has proven quite difficult. 98 00:06:18,607 --> 00:06:20,802 Well, I can't say I'm sad to hear that. 99 00:06:21,007 --> 00:06:23,726 For the first time since the dawn of our race, 100 00:06:23,927 --> 00:06:28,045 there are too few of your kind to feed the waking Wraith. 101 00:06:28,207 --> 00:06:30,243 This has resulted in civil war. 102 00:06:31,447 --> 00:06:33,756 Hives are forming alliances, 103 00:06:33,927 --> 00:06:36,077 and strong are attacking the weak. 104 00:06:37,447 --> 00:06:41,599 Which are you? Our goals are not dissimilar, Dr. Weir. 105 00:06:41,767 --> 00:06:44,327 You would like to eliminate the Wraith as a threat? 106 00:06:44,527 --> 00:06:46,404 I find that hard to believe. 107 00:06:47,007 --> 00:06:50,522 We would like you to give us Dr. Beckett's retrovirus. 108 00:06:50,687 --> 00:06:52,439 If we were able to distribute it 109 00:06:52,647 --> 00:06:55,844 among the rival Wraith hives in sufficient quantity, 110 00:06:56,047 --> 00:06:58,322 this would both render them helpless 111 00:06:58,527 --> 00:07:01,917 and provide us with an alternative food source. 112 00:07:02,207 --> 00:07:05,005 Those Wraith would become humans. 113 00:07:05,167 --> 00:07:06,600 On the surface, perhaps. 114 00:07:07,207 --> 00:07:10,085 As a sign of good faith, I am sending you our jamming codes. 115 00:07:10,687 --> 00:07:14,441 This program was established and distributed before the civil war broke out, 116 00:07:14,647 --> 00:07:17,878 so we assume all the hive ships are still using it. 117 00:07:18,087 --> 00:07:22,877 By figuring out how to bypass or disable this program, 118 00:07:23,087 --> 00:07:26,716 you would be able to beam nuclear weapons aboard any of our ships 119 00:07:26,927 --> 00:07:29,236 whenever you so please. 120 00:07:29,447 --> 00:07:33,406 We are willing to help you achieve this if you help us. 121 00:07:34,087 --> 00:07:35,520 They're sending a data burst. 122 00:07:36,047 --> 00:07:38,481 Download it to a non-networked, firewalled computer. 123 00:07:38,647 --> 00:07:39,762 Yes, ma'am. 124 00:07:39,927 --> 00:07:42,999 I'm sure you'll want to recall all the ships you had lying in wait for us, 125 00:07:43,167 --> 00:07:47,718 and discuss this with your people. We will await your reply. 126 00:07:48,127 --> 00:07:52,359 But should you make an attempt to destroy us, 127 00:07:52,567 --> 00:07:55,127 we will alert every Wraith in this galaxy 128 00:07:55,327 --> 00:07:58,717 to the fact that Atlantis is still very much intact. 129 00:07:59,847 --> 00:08:02,156 I'm sure you wouldn't want that. 130 00:08:07,287 --> 00:08:10,677 I think it's safe to say that if they were going to attack us, they would have done it by now. 131 00:08:10,847 --> 00:08:12,803 They let the Daedalus land without incident. 132 00:08:12,967 --> 00:08:14,480 You sure they don't know about the Orion? 133 00:08:14,687 --> 00:08:17,155 I ordered Lorne to park her just outside of sensor range. 134 00:08:17,367 --> 00:08:19,801 This-This is incredible. 135 00:08:20,287 --> 00:08:22,801 I can't believe they actually sent this over so freely. 136 00:08:22,967 --> 00:08:25,765 If I can break through this program- Which is, as you know, pretty likely. 137 00:08:25,927 --> 00:08:28,680 - we could nuke any hive ship that we came across. 138 00:08:28,847 --> 00:08:31,236 Including Michael's? Might take a couple of tries. 139 00:08:31,407 --> 00:08:33,762 Long enough to tell the rest of the Wraith we're still around. 140 00:08:34,487 --> 00:08:37,081 If they really are willing to let me run tests on their ship, 141 00:08:37,287 --> 00:08:40,085 this is an amazing opportunity, Elizabeth. 142 00:08:40,567 --> 00:08:42,000 An amazing opportunity. 143 00:08:42,167 --> 00:08:46,365 Well, think about it. This is essentially our idea. 144 00:08:46,567 --> 00:08:50,401 We created the retrovirus in order to do exactly what they're proposing we do. 145 00:08:50,567 --> 00:08:51,761 What's the downside? 146 00:08:51,927 --> 00:08:54,680 I mean, other than the fact that we'd be working with the Wraith. 147 00:08:54,847 --> 00:08:55,882 Isn't that enough? 148 00:08:56,047 --> 00:08:59,357 It would mean at least something good came of our experiment with Michael. 149 00:08:59,567 --> 00:09:01,080 I'm not sure we have a choice. 150 00:09:01,687 --> 00:09:04,599 It appears they've kept our existence a secret. 151 00:09:04,807 --> 00:09:06,240 But if we do not help... 152 00:09:06,967 --> 00:09:08,878 Then there is that. 153 00:09:09,647 --> 00:09:12,684 Carson, I know you've been working on the weaponization of the retrovirus. 154 00:09:13,087 --> 00:09:15,317 How close are you? We're close. 155 00:09:15,927 --> 00:09:19,078 It still needs work, but we're close. 156 00:09:25,007 --> 00:09:25,996 What? 157 00:09:26,967 --> 00:09:28,241 What do you think? 158 00:09:29,447 --> 00:09:31,642 Let's do it. WEIR: Really? 159 00:09:31,847 --> 00:09:34,520 Sheppard said it himself, it's our idea. 160 00:09:34,687 --> 00:09:37,918 I thought you of all people- If they want our help killing Wraith, 161 00:09:38,087 --> 00:09:40,078 it's one kind of help I'm happy to provide. 162 00:09:40,287 --> 00:09:41,640 Okay. 163 00:09:42,367 --> 00:09:45,120 So we're going to do this. 164 00:09:48,767 --> 00:09:50,200 I'll accept the offer. 165 00:09:54,407 --> 00:09:57,479 Teyla. Colonel? 166 00:09:57,807 --> 00:10:00,685 Something tells me you don't think this is such a good idea. 167 00:10:01,087 --> 00:10:03,647 As I said, I do not believe we have a choice. 168 00:10:03,847 --> 00:10:05,565 A good idea is still a good idea. 169 00:10:05,727 --> 00:10:08,764 I voiced concern about this plan to change Wraith into humans 170 00:10:08,927 --> 00:10:10,679 prior to the experiment on Michael. 171 00:10:10,847 --> 00:10:14,442 And we convinced you.

Thank you, captain. 363 00:24:19,355 --> 00:24:20,754 Guess now we just wait. 364 00:24:21,475 --> 00:24:23,989 This trial's a little premature, don't you think? 365 00:24:24,155 --> 00:24:26,350 Guess that's what happens when the Wraith get too excited. 366 00:24:26,515 --> 00:24:27,834 What if they fail? 367 00:24:28,315 --> 00:24:31,352 Maybe they'll blow each other to kingdom come, we can all go home. 368 00:24:31,835 --> 00:24:34,110 I thought we wanted this to work. 369 00:24:34,395 --> 00:24:36,386 I'm just saying, if this thing goes south, 370 00:24:36,555 --> 00:24:39,592 we can't let the word get out we were involved in this. 371 00:24:43,835 --> 00:24:46,554 Carson. Elizabeth. 372 00:24:47,075 --> 00:24:49,635 When I developed this retrovirus for the Wraith, 373 00:24:49,795 --> 00:24:53,310 it was to free them from what I perceived to be an unnatural state. 374 00:24:53,475 --> 00:24:55,591 Now at the very moment they take human form, 375 00:24:55,755 --> 00:24:59,464 they'll face a horribly painful death. No matter how we rationalize this, 376 00:24:59,635 --> 00:25:01,785 we're still letting the Wraith kill humans. 377 00:25:01,955 --> 00:25:04,549 Well, I guess it depends on how you define " human. " 378 00:25:05,195 --> 00:25:07,470 We can't judge an entire race based on the fact 379 00:25:07,635 --> 00:25:09,705 that Michael's experiment didn't work. 380 00:25:09,875 --> 00:25:13,151 If you're asking me whether or not I'm losing sleep over this... 381 00:25:15,795 --> 00:25:21,108 Hm. Well, I am taking those sedatives you prescribed. 382 00:25:23,115 --> 00:25:26,312 We're getting telemetry back from the cloaked jumper, it's in theatre. 383 00:25:26,515 --> 00:25:28,073 Let's see it. 384 00:25:29,235 --> 00:25:30,714 That's our hive there on the left. 385 00:25:31,755 --> 00:25:34,269 "Our hive. " It's weird. 386 00:25:38,195 --> 00:25:40,868 The delegation's aboard. Now we wait. 387 00:25:44,475 --> 00:25:46,193 They didn't need you on the Daedalus? 388 00:25:46,395 --> 00:25:48,033 Colonel Caldwell believed my time 389 00:25:48,195 --> 00:25:50,231 was better spent disabling their jamming code. 390 00:25:50,395 --> 00:25:52,909 Huh. So they can fly that ship without you. 391 00:25:53,075 --> 00:25:57,546 Yes, but apparently you cannot run these tests without me. 392 00:25:57,715 --> 00:25:59,945 I'm sure I would have been fine. 393 00:26:00,195 --> 00:26:01,992 I am not as sure. 394 00:26:03,235 --> 00:26:05,954 Really? Well. 395 00:26:09,355 --> 00:26:12,825 Okay, try it now. 396 00:26:20,195 --> 00:26:23,631 Well, well. Turns out the human knows what he's doing after all. 397 00:26:23,835 --> 00:26:27,874 Indeed. Your assistance on this project will be noted. 398 00:26:28,075 --> 00:26:29,906 My assistance? 399 00:26:35,075 --> 00:26:38,590 The delegation transport is returning to the friendly hive ahead of schedule. 400 00:26:44,275 --> 00:26:46,152 What was that? 401 00:26:46,315 --> 00:26:49,273 The transport has been destroyed. That's not good. 402 00:26:49,435 --> 00:26:51,869 Sir, Jumper Eight is reporting the enemy hive has opened fire. 403 00:26:52,035 --> 00:26:54,026 Friendly hive sustaining serious damage. 404 00:26:54,235 --> 00:26:57,466 If they get boarded, it's all over for Atlantis. They'll give us up for sure. 405 00:26:57,675 --> 00:27:00,235 Jump to position. Shields up full. Ready main rail guns. 406 00:27:00,395 --> 00:27:03,353 Ready all missile batteries. Jumping into theatre now. 407 00:27:16,115 --> 00:27:19,107 Get that Jumper back into the bay. We're not gonna be able to keep this up for long. 408 00:27:19,315 --> 00:27:22,113 Don't give them time to jump. Our hive is entering hyperspace. 409 00:27:30,195 --> 00:27:31,787 Jumper Eight has been recovered. 410 00:27:31,995 --> 00:27:34,714 Set course for Atlantis. Get us out of here. 411 00:27:45,995 --> 00:27:47,792 FEMALE WRAITH: Our delegation was searched. 412 00:27:47,995 --> 00:27:50,907 They were killed immediately when your canisters were discovered. 413 00:27:51,395 --> 00:27:55,229 Our transport ship tried to escape, but it was destroyed. 414 00:27:55,755 --> 00:27:59,031 You must devise a better delivery method. 415 00:27:59,195 --> 00:28:02,073 Or what? Or we will disclose your location 416 00:28:02,235 --> 00:28:04,146 to the other Wraith. 417 00:28:04,355 --> 00:28:07,904 We kept our part of the bargain. We gave you the retrovirus. 418 00:28:08,115 --> 00:28:10,629 And it is useless without an effective delivery system. 419 00:28:10,835 --> 00:28:12,951 So we have to do everything? 420 00:28:18,555 --> 00:28:21,274 Okay, okay. I will figure something out. 421 00:28:21,435 --> 00:28:24,507 But no more holding back. I wanna know everything there is to know about hive ships. 422 00:28:24,675 --> 00:28:27,985 Schematics, power distribution, life-support configurations, everything you've got. 423 00:28:28,155 --> 00:28:29,508 Then you shall have it. 424 00:28:30,595 --> 00:28:32,313 For real? 425 00:28:35,475 --> 00:28:36,794 Receiving transmission. 426 00:28:37,355 --> 00:28:39,994 Make sure it's secure. Yeah, we're completely firewalled. 427 00:28:40,195 --> 00:28:41,787 Let me see that. 428 00:28:45,155 --> 00:28:46,668 Huh. 429 00:28:47,075 --> 00:28:49,270 She actually did it. This is the mother lode. 430 00:28:49,475 --> 00:28:50,703 What is, exactly? 431 00:28:51,195 --> 00:28:53,709 Only everything you've ever wanted to know about Wraith technology 432 00:28:53,875 --> 00:28:56,150 but were afraid to ask. 433 00:28:57,355 --> 00:29:01,906 Why are you doing this? We have suffered extensive damage. 434 00:29:08,115 --> 00:29:10,151 We could render assistance. 435 00:29:10,955 --> 00:29:12,513 You would do this? 436 00:29:12,675 --> 00:29:15,747 We're supposed to have an alliance, aren't we? 437 00:29:16,195 --> 00:29:18,106 Sending information on Wraith technology 438 00:29:18,275 --> 00:29:20,994 was a remarkable act of good faith on your part. 439 00:29:21,475 --> 00:29:24,865 Your assistance would be acceptable. 440 00:29:26,115 --> 00:29:29,630 All right then. We have a deal. 441 00:29:42,355 --> 00:29:44,744 I know you guys have been burning it at both ends, so... 442 00:29:44,915 --> 00:29:46,587 Dr. Vogel just went to get us some. 443 00:29:46,755 --> 00:29:48,746 Thank you. Yeah, caught him on the way in. 444 00:29:48,915 --> 00:29:50,394 How's it coming? 445 00:29:50,595 --> 00:29:53,951 Uh, oh, it's phenomenal. It's like being handed a Wraith encyclopaedia. 446 00:29:54,115 --> 00:29:55,753 It's hard to know where to start. 447 00:29:55,915 --> 00:29:59,385 When I was a kid and I got my first encyclopaedia, I started with the letter S. 448 00:30:00,435 --> 00:30:03,586 Yes, well, while I'm sure that Wraith sexuality is interesting, 449 00:30:03,795 --> 00:30:05,592 we've decided to split into two teams. 450 00:30:05,755 --> 00:30:10,146 Team A is trying to find the best place or places to plant the gas canister. 451 00:30:10,315 --> 00:30:12,704 Team B is trying to come up with some fixes 452 00:30:12,875 --> 00:30:15,753 for the damage that the Wraith hive sustained during its last battle. 453 00:30:15,915 --> 00:30:18,793 And you? Mostly I'm just skimming the index. 454 00:30:18,955 --> 00:30:20,593 Anything exciting? Oh, yes. 455 00:30:20,755 --> 00:30:22,586 Such as? Well, the ships are massive. 456 00:30:22,755 --> 00:30:24,791 But because of their mainly organic design, 457 00:30:24,955 --> 00:30:26,991 they have a number of external weaknesses. 458 00:30:27,155 --> 00:30:29,146 I've got a weakness for external weaknesses. 459 00:30:29,835 --> 00:30:32,793 Any word from Rodney yet? I'm sure he's fine. 460 00:30:39,035 --> 00:30:43,153 The organic base of a lot of your technology, it's quite amazing. 461 00:30:43,315 --> 00:30:45,909 Very resilient. 462 00:30:46,075 --> 00:30:49,192 Many of the problems we encounter eventually heal themselves, yes. 463 00:30:49,355 --> 00:30:51,664 But there are smaller, more complex issues. 464 00:30:51,955 --> 00:30:55,834 Huh. Such as the programming code to make your old ships do new things? 465 00:30:56,235 --> 00:30:59,432 Or bypassing inoperable systems, yes. 466 00:30:59,595 --> 00:31:03,668 It has been so long since we've fought a real battle. 467 00:31:03,995 --> 00:31:07,624 Yes, well, I imagine I'd forget a lot in 10,000 years too. 468 00:31:09,235 --> 00:31:10,384 Before the civil war, 469 00:31:10,555 --> 00:31:13,353 there were keepers who maintained the entire fleet. 470 00:31:13,555 --> 00:31:16,752 But they've made their own alliances. Sorry about that. 471 00:31:16,955 --> 00:31:19,628 Without your help, this damage may have been irreparable. 472 00:31:19,795 --> 00:31:21,911 Finally, an alien race that appreciates me. 473 00:31:22,075 --> 00:31:24,669 Do you think we will be able to come up with an adequate delivery system 474 00:31:24,835 --> 00:31:26,746 for the retrovirus? Hm. 475 00:31:26,915 --> 00:31:29,554 Well, I know that you don't know me, so you couldn't possibly know this- 476 00:31:29,755 --> 00:31:31,427 The short answer is yes. 477 00:31:32,435 --> 00:31:33,993 This way. 478 00:31:34,875 --> 00:31:38,390 Are you crazy? Wanna get us killed?! You don't touch him. 479 00:31:38,595 --> 00:31:41,871 He was guiding me down the hall, not sucking the life out of my shoulder. 480 00:31:42,675 --> 00:31:44,950 We are sorry. Say you're sorry. 481 00:31:45,315 --> 00:31:49,274 That will not be necessary. He was protecting his superior. 482 00:31:49,475 --> 00:31:52,069 I would have done the same. He's not my superior. 483 00:31:52,275 --> 00:31:55,233 Certainly not in every sense. 484 00:31:55,915 --> 00:31:57,473 My apologies. 485 00:31:57,675 --> 00:32:01,907 You wanted to take us somewhere? Please, this way. 486 00:32:08,395 --> 00:32:09,510 That's your sweet spot. 487 00:32:09,675 --> 00:32:12,473 This central chamber scrubs the CO2 from the artificial atmosphere 488 00:32:12,635 --> 00:32:14,830 and redistributes it as breathable air to the ship. 489 00:32:14,995 --> 00:32:18,067 You get a sufficiently large canister of retrovirus into that central chamber, 490 00:32:18,235 --> 00:32:20,305 the whole ship will be affected simultaneously. 491 00:32:20,475 --> 00:32:24,787 Getting to this location without arousing suspicion will be very difficult. 492 00:32:24,995 --> 00:32:28,192 I'm sure it will be, but we can't really help you with that. 493 00:32:28,355 --> 00:32:31,950 Although the colonel and I have come up with a way to test that theory. 494 00:32:32,155 --> 00:32:33,588 Step one: 495 00:32:33,755 --> 00:32:37,748 We find another enemy hive and jump to a location just out of its sensor range. 496 00:32:37,915 --> 00:32:41,225 Step two: The Daedalus takes position in close proximity to your hive, 497 00:32:41,395 --> 00:32:42,874 essentially merging with your scan patterns, 498 00:32:43,035 --> 00:32:45,105 rendering it practically invisible to the enemy sensors. 499 00:32:45,275 --> 00:32:47,231 Step three: Using sublight systems, 500 00:32:47,395 --> 00:32:51,183 our ships approach the target hive for whatever reason. I'm sure you can come up with something. 501 00:32:51,355 --> 00:32:54,233 Step four: Now that the Daedalus can use its beaming technology again- 502 00:32:54,435 --> 00:32:55,948 Which would be thanks to... 503 00:32:56,395 --> 00:32:59,228 Anyway, once we get in range, 504 00:32:59,435 --> 00:33:01,903 we can beam a canister into the CO2 chamber 505 00:33:02,075 --> 00:33:05,272 and, boom, one hive ship de-Wraithified. 506 00:33:07,635 --> 00:33:10,945 Unacceptable. Excuse me? 507 00:33:11,635 --> 00:33:15,867 This plan keeps us completely reliant on you to disseminate the retrovirus. 508 00:33:16,075 --> 00:33:19,272 It's meant to be a test to see if the gas works in the first place. 509 00:33:19,435 --> 00:33:23,144 If it does, you can come up with some other way to deliver it. 510 00:33:28,035 --> 00:33:29,707 Very well. 511 00:33:30,555 --> 00:33:32,386 I'll transmit the coordinates to our new target 512 00:33:32,555 --> 00:33:34,227 as soon as I return to the hive. 513 00:33:34,515 --> 00:33:36,267 We'll leave as soon as you are ready. 514 00:33:44,035 --> 00:33:46,708 What's a girl like her do for fun? 515 00:33:47,835 --> 00:33:50,144 I should be on that hive when we do this. 516 00:33:51,075 --> 00:33:52,110 Excuse me? 517 00:33:52,275 --> 00:33:54,266 Really? It's uncharacteristically brave, 518 00:33:54,435 --> 00:33:57,472 but I've hacked a lot of their systems under the guise of repairing them. 519 00:33:57,635 --> 00:34:00,468 I've convinced them that I should be there to supervise their systems if anything goes wrong. 520 00:34:00,635 --> 00:34:02,387 And they agreed to this? Yes. 521 00:34:02,555 --> 00:34:05,149 Plus. Now we can freely beam stuff on and off their ships. 522 00:34:05,315 --> 00:34:07,385 I've written a program that will immediately beam me out of there 523 00:34:07,555 --> 00:34:10,149 the second I activate this emergency transponder. 524 00:34:12,235 --> 00:34:15,193 You're sure you wanna do this? Of course I don't wanna do it. 525 00:34:15,355 --> 00:34:17,232 I just- I think it should be done. 526 00:34:17,435 --> 00:34:20,393 Ronon goes along. I wouldn't have it any other way. 527 00:34:20,595 --> 00:34:23,507 And I'd like you on the Daedalus. No place I'd rather be. 528 00:34:23,675 --> 00:34:25,313 WEIR: Okay, good. Let's get this done. 529 00:34:25,915 --> 00:34:28,383 I'm about ready for our house guests to leave. 530 00:34:39,955 --> 00:34:41,673 Hey, is your terminal-? 531 00:34:45,115 --> 00:34:47,151 You need to see this. 532 00:34:50,755 --> 00:34:52,188 Oh, no. 533 00:34:52,795 --> 00:34:55,389 Tell me the Daedalus has not left yet. 534 00:35:02,355 --> 00:35:03,549 Are we there yet? 535 00:35:03,715 --> 00:35:05,945 Do you have any idea how difficult these manoeuvres are gonna be? 536 00:35:06,115 --> 00:35:07,514 I'm guessing really difficult. 537 00:35:07,675 --> 00:35:11,304 We're gonna be flying so close to that hive ship you'd be able to reach out and touch it. 538 00:35:11,475 --> 00:35:13,989 I insist on a few practice runs before we approach the enemy. 539 00:35:14,155 --> 00:35:15,383 I'm sure they're fine with that. 540 00:35:15,595 --> 00:35:16,948 Coming out of hyperspace. 541 00:35:18,755 --> 00:35:21,792 Get McKay on the radio. I wanna- 542 00:35:23,995 --> 00:35:25,223 Shields to maximum! 543 00:35:25,435 --> 00:35:27,505 Decks one and seven of the forward section have decompressed 544 00:35:27,675 --> 00:35:29,791 and are venting atmosphere. Seal them off. 545 00:35:29,955 --> 00:35:31,627 Get a damage-control team down there. 546 00:35:32,755 --> 00:35:34,074 Who's firing on us? 547 00:35:34,235 --> 00:35:36,226 There are two hive ships bearing down on our position, sir. 548 00:35:36,395 --> 00:35:38,465 One of them is the friendly. 549 00:35:38,755 --> 00:35:39,790 Not so friendly. 550 00:35:39,955 --> 00:35:41,991 All main weapons, fire at will on both ships. 551 00:35:42,155 --> 00:35:45,192 Hermiod, stand by to beam warheads to the nearest hive ship. 552 00:35:45,395 --> 00:35:48,148 It doesn't make any sense. Why break the alliance now? 553 00:35:48,315 --> 00:35:50,545 They don't even have the gas aboard their ship, we do. 554 00:35:50,715 --> 00:35:52,785 That's not my concern right now. 555 00:35:56,315 --> 00:36:00,024 Colonel Caldwell, this is Hermiod. The warheads are ready to deploy. 556 00:36:00,235 --> 00:36:01,953 Stand by till we reach optimal range. 557 00:36:02,115 --> 00:36:04,549 Give McKay and Ronon time to beam back aboard first. 558 00:36:04,715 --> 00:36:06,546 They've got until we reach weapons-deployment range. 559 00:36:06,715 --> 00:36:09,104 If they can't activate their emergency transceivers by then, 560 00:36:09,275 --> 00:36:11,072 there's nothing we can do about it. 561 00:36:22,075 --> 00:36:25,351 What was that? Activate your transceiver. 562 00:36:26,275 --> 00:36:27,788 Oh, no. 563 00:36:32,675 --> 00:36:35,826 What are you doing? I am sorry, Dr. McKay. 564 00:36:36,035 --> 00:36:39,914 There has been a change in plans. 565 00:36:44,635 --> 00:36:46,273 It's time. 566 00:36:46,435 --> 00:36:48,995 Give them a few more seconds. Sorry, colonel, I can't do that. 567 00:36:49,195 --> 00:36:51,755 Hermiod, deploy warheads when ready. 568 00:36:51,915 --> 00:36:55,828 Colonel Caldwell, Dr. McKay's code has failed to breach the Wraith countermeasures. 569 00:36:55,995 --> 00:36:58,714 I'm attempting another series of codes. 570 00:36:58,875 --> 00:37:01,230 Work as fast as you can. This shield ain't gonna hold up forever. 571 00:37:02,475 --> 00:37:05,433 With some 302s, we might be able to take out the hyperdrive, save us some time. 572 00:37:05,595 --> 00:37:06,869 Do it. 573 00:37:07,955 --> 00:37:10,185 Shields are at 60 percent. 574 00:37:16,675 --> 00:37:20,224 On my lead. Try and get their star drive first. 575 00:37:20,395 --> 00:37:23,592 PILOT I've got incoming. Try to keep these Darts off our six. 576 00:37:40,395 --> 00:37:43,831 Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. We're supposed to be allies. 577 00:37:44,995 --> 00:37:48,146 I'm afraid the alliance has been dissolved. 578 00:37:48,355 --> 00:37:51,074 Do you have any idea how much work I have put into all of this? 579 00:37:53,315 --> 00:37:55,271 I haven't slept in 36 hours. 580 00:37:56,235 --> 00:37:58,146 Perhaps it is better if you rest. 581 00:38:06,195 --> 00:38:07,787 Shields are under 20 percent. 582 00:38:07,955 --> 00:38:09,308 Hermiod, what do you got for me? 583 00:38:09,475 --> 00:38:11,113 I cannot guarantee that I will be able 584 00:38:11,275 --> 00:38:14,028 to defeat the Wraith countermeasures in sufficient time. 585 00:38:14,235 --> 00:38:15,714 Sheppard, get back to the ship. 586 00:38:15,875 --> 00:38:18,150 We need to jump out of here as soon as possible. 587 00:38:18,995 --> 00:38:22,112 Two minutes, I can shut down their hyperdrive. 588 00:38:22,275 --> 00:38:24,391 Unless you can shut down their weapons, it won't do us much good. 589 00:38:27,155 --> 00:38:28,224 Damn it. 590 00:38:35,115 --> 00:38:36,673 Sheppard? 591 00:38:37,955 --> 00:38:40,310 Sheppard? Not getting anything, sir. 592 00:38:42,315 --> 00:38:43,873 Ready to jump on my mark. Sir. 593 00:38:44,035 --> 00:38:46,151 The hives are opening hyperspace windows. 594 00:39:02,835 --> 00:39:04,712 Why the hell did they do that? 595 00:39:04,915 --> 00:39:07,190 Three of our 302s are returning to Daedalus, sir. 596 00:39:07,355 --> 00:39:09,391 Sheppard? His fighter isn't one of them. 597 00:39:09,555 --> 00:39:12,786 The only contacts I have on-screen are wreckage. 598 00:39:12,955 --> 00:39:16,743 What about his locator beacon? No, nothing, sir. 599 00:39:16,915 --> 00:39:18,394 He's just gone. 600 00:39:20,835 --> 00:39:22,393 Understood. 601 00:39:25,035 --> 00:39:26,832 Set course for Atlantis. 602 00:39:29,315 --> 00:39:30,543 We got hacked. 603 00:39:30,755 --> 00:39:33,553 Within the hive ship schematics was a wormlike computer virus. 604 00:39:33,715 --> 00:39:36,354 Your people went over the data. I know. We thought it was clean. 605 00:39:36,515 --> 00:39:38,107 But this virus was entirely different. 606 00:39:38,675 --> 00:39:41,314 What did it do? It very selectively probed our systems 607 00:39:41,475 --> 00:39:43,670 without damaging them or exposing itself. 608 00:39:43,835 --> 00:39:46,554 I don't understand. If you didn't find it, and it didn't reveal itself - ? 609 00:39:46,715 --> 00:39:48,626 Once the hive left Atlantis, 610 00:39:48,795 --> 00:39:51,912 the worm began to destroy all of the data they had sent down. 611 00:39:52,075 --> 00:39:54,031 Then this was their plan all along. 612 00:39:55,955 --> 00:39:56,944 What did they get? 613 00:39:57,115 --> 00:39:59,106 This is one of the reasons we didn't detect it. 614 00:39:59,275 --> 00:40:01,425 They only uploaded two pieces of information. 615 00:40:01,595 --> 00:40:03,551 One, the Aurora mission reports. 616 00:40:04,555 --> 00:40:07,149 Okay, and two? 617 00:40:09,475 --> 00:40:12,626 The location of every world in our database. 618 00:40:24,795 --> 00:40:26,467 You okay? 619 00:40:29,595 --> 00:40:34,464 No. No, I think this is the most not okay I have ever been. 620 00:40:36,275 --> 00:40:39,585 I see you have awakened. Really? 621 00:40:39,795 --> 00:40:41,911 I was sort of hoping this was just a nightmare. 622 00:40:42,355 --> 00:40:44,505 Why aren't we dead? 623 00:40:44,715 --> 00:40:46,751 The queen wants you to live long enough 624 00:40:46,915 --> 00:40:49,588 to witness the fruits of your labour. 625 00:40:49,755 --> 00:40:51,871 If it wasn't for you, Dr. McKay, 626 00:40:52,035 --> 00:40:54,788 we would never have been able to get there. 627 00:40:54,955 --> 00:40:56,673 What are you talking about? Get where? 628 00:40:59,155 --> 00:41:00,907 Earth.
