Original subtitles

Going off-world? M7G-677.

That's the planet with all the kids, right?

They're having trouble with their EM-field generator.

And McKay has decided that I am the most capable person in all of Atlantis to fix it.

Hey, don't worry, they're great kids. You're gonna love them.

My sister has a child. He breaks things.

He throws things, he smears things onto furniture.

McKAY: Colonel Sheppard, need you up in the control room.

Oh, you still here?

We're just leaving.

Hm. Well, do say hi to the kids for me.

"Say hi to the kids for me. "

McKAY: Two Wraith cruisers.

How far away are they? A day, maybe a day and a half.

I've been tracking them for some time now.

But good new is it doesn't look like they're headed this way.

Just passing through? Yeah, it looks that way.

But I just discovered something rather curious.

Short but intense energy bursts passing between them.

They're fighting each other?

Mm. In my expert opinion, yes.

That's good news. Certainly is.

If there's any change in course, let me know.

Right.

I just cut short a call with the secretary of state. I hope this is worth it.

I'm sorry, sir, but a situation is developing that you need to be made aware of.

It couldn't wait. All right, then make me aware of it.

We've noticed an increase in chatter amongst The Trust.

The Goa'uld have infiltrated the highest ranks of the organization.

We've discovered that their access to government agencies

has gone a lot deeper than we realized.

How much deeper?

Atlantis. They know about it?

Worse. They've been there.

They planted a bomb somewhere in the city.

But I don't understand.

Why would the Goa'uld wanna blow up Atlantis?

I mean, I think they'd be eager to get their hands on all that Ancient technology.

They want the technology, sure.

But they're more concerned about the Wraith finding their way to this galaxy.

Last thing they need right now is another enemy to contend with.

Especially one so formidable.

Jeez, those poor people.

I mean, as if they don't have enough to contend with.

Now they have a Goa'uld in their midst?

The intel we have suggests a lower-level operative planted the bomb.

Which means we're dealing with a human.

And from what little we've been able to decipher so far,

the bomb is set to be detonated next time Atlantis dials Earth.

So The Trust have probably set up a transmitter close to Cheyenne Mountain

to be detonated at the exact moment that the wormhole is established.

Which is today. What?

But the weekly status report- In two hours and 46 minutes.

We have to warn them, we have to tell them not to dial Earth.

How? Even if we had the kind of power needed to dial Atlantis,

we couldn't because that would detonate the bomb.

What about the Daedalus? It's on a return voyage to the Milky Way.

We could use them to relay the trans-

Oh, no, wait. I mean, wait.

God, there's no way they're close enough even with their long-range transmitters.

You'll find another way to get the message to them.

I will? Of course you will.

It's what I pay you for.

McKay: Elizabeth's including intel

about the infighting amongst the Wraith in today's status report.

Let's hope that trend continues. Wraith keep fighting like this,

we might be able to take the weekend off.

Cadman? What are you doing here?

Well, it's good to see you too, Rodney.

Oh, I thought you were leaving on the Daedalus.

Yeah, I was, but something came up.

I asked Colonel Sheppard if I could stay around a little while longer.

Oh, well, that's fine.

You okay with that?

Yeah, of course it is. Why wouldn't it be?

Colonel.

Lieutenant.

I would think, after all this time, you'd stop being creeped out by her.

Well, she just has a way of getting under my skin. Ooh.

Literally.

Dr. Beckett? Yes?

Do you have time to accompany me to the mainland?

Is something wrong?

A woman who is very close to me, Charin.

Oh, yes, I remember her. Sweet lady.

She is like a grandmother to me.

I have just received word that she is very ill.

I was wondering if you could look at her.

Of course, love. Say no more.

Okay. This is Atlantis,

deep in the Pegasus galaxy.

And this is the Daedalus

that left there about a week ago on its way to...

...Earth.

Now, since we can't dial the gate to Atlantis,

we have no way to get a warning to them

except by use of a subspace databurst transmission

relayed from our galaxy to Pegasus

using the Daedalus as one of the relay points.

I thought you said the Daedalus was too far away for our transmitter to reach.

It is. Which is why we have to get closer.

P4M-399.

It's a tiny little planet right on the very outskirts of our galaxy,

but if we can send a science team there, through the gate,

they should be close enough to relay the information

to the Daedalus and then they can- It's like the Twilight Bark.

Twilight Bark? 101 Dalmatians?

Didn't you guys see that? My kids love it.

Well, okay, so there's all these dogs and one barks here, one barks here-

They send the message across the countryside.

Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings.

You know when they light all those signal fires on the mountaintops.

You saw that, right? So, okay- People, people, people.

I believe we have work to do.

Right, sorry.

Gear up.

NOVAK Colonel Caldwell, we just received a subspace transmission

from an SG team on P4M-399.

It's an urgent message from Stargate Command we are to relay to Atlantis.

What's the message? Do not dial gate to Earth.

A Trust operative has planted a bomb in Atlantis

to be detonated upon completion of dialling sequence.

We are to maintain our position until the message has been delivered for further intel as it develops.

Are we still in range to relay the message to Atlantis?

No.

Who's that? Kavanagh?

Yes, colonel.

We're way too far out to broadcast a subspace transmission to Atlantis.

We could turn around, get closer. We don't have enough time.

Their weekly status report dial-up is in just under two hours.

We can't possibly get close enough to broadcast the message in time to stop them dialling.

Colonel Caldwell, I believe I can make modifications to the hyperdrive

in order to achieve the speed necessary to reach a distance

capable of relaying the transmission within the allotted time.

The hyperdrive will be operating

at a level that can only be sustained

for a short duration before damage is incurred.

What kind of damage? It could burn out the drive.

Meaning, we'd be stuck between galaxies.

I know what it means, doctor.

HERMIOD: However, I do believe

that we will reach the point at which we can relay the message to Atlantis

before damage to the hyperdrive is incurred.

Are you sure about that?

Shall I make the modifications, colonel?

Go ahead. Turn us around.

I don't see how you can possibly milk any more power out of the hyperdrive.

Dr. Kavanagh. Yes?

Stop talking, please.

Thank you.

WEIR: Are we set to dial? Almost. Just finishing data compression.

Stand by. Standing by.

Dr. Novak, what's your status?

Almost in range, sir.

We're not gonna make it.

Compression's complete. We're good to go.

All right, then. Dial the gate.

Yes, ma'am.

Stop!

We need to disconnect the ZPM and switch to backup

naquadah generators to prevent any possible dialling of the gate to Earth.

I agree. In fact, all gate activity shall be suspended.

How many off-world teams do we have out there?

Just Zelenka and his team on M7G-677.

Well, he's gonna have to sit tight until we sort this thing out.

Stuck with all those kids.

Is the Daedalus still in range to relay a data transmission back to SG C?

Yes, they are holding a position that keeps them in range of both Earth and us.

Okay, good. And send a message saying we received their warning and aborted the dialling.

Ask them if they can give us a little more than just, "There's a bomb in Atlantis. "

Maybe The Trust thinks this is the only way to make sure the Wraith don't get there.

It's drastic, but effective.

What's worse is The Trust operative who planted the bomb

probably did so under orders from the Goa'uld.

What? When did the Goa'uld get involved?

Several months ago. They successfully infiltrated the upper leadership of The Trust,

gaining a stronghold on Earth, accessing government agencies from many countries.

What's a Goa'uld?

It's a slimy, snakelike, alien creature, burrows into people's heads

and takes control of their bodies. That doesn't sound pleasant.

It isn't. I've read enough SG mission reports to know I don't want anything to do with them.

I want you to organize some teams and search the city.

Start with obvious sabotage points, power-distribution centres.

I'll check systems for any anomalous energy readings indicating the presence of explosives.

And get Cadman to assist you.

She's a bomb expert. She is?

She's one of the best. She'll be a big help.

Good. Ask Colonel Caldwell to return to Atlantis

to assist the investigation. McKAY: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

If the Daedalus returns here, then you're effectively cutting off our communications with Earth.

But if the person who planted the bomb is onboard, we're gonna need to question them here.

Have them reveal the location of the bomb and how to dismantle it.

All right, let's get moving.

Disconnecting ZPM power...

...now.

Charin, if you don't mind, I'd like to draw a wee bit of your blood.

If you must.

When you are done, I have made some tuttleroot soup.

You, cooking?

Tuttleroot? Yes.

I have been practicing.

Hopefully,

someday, I will be able to cook as well as you.

Oh.

I'm afraid that day is far into the future, my dear.

You were born for a higher purpose.

To be the leader of our people.

And that's why I want you to prepare them for the Ring Ceremony.

Charin.

I'm dying, Teyla.

Forgive me, but what exactly is the Ring Ceremony?

Among our people, it is very rare

for someone to die of natural causes.

Because of the Wraith?

The Ring Ceremony celebrates such an event.

A ring of stones is laid out

symbolizing the ring of the ancestors.

The Stargate.

In the centre of which the body is placed, and...

I am not ready for this ceremony, Charin.

Not yet.

What do you got?

One of our teams just raided a Trust compound, found computers with further intel on Atlantis.

It's not much. The Goa'uld are being very cryptic about this.

Cut to the chase. Do we know what kind of bomb it is?

Not yet. Do we know where it was planted?

No. I'm sorry? You said "further intel. "

Well, we know for sure that there's no transmitter here on Earth to detonate the bomb.

I thought you said it was connected to the dialling of the gate.

It appears that the actual trigger, be it the gate itself

or some other mechanism due to the dialling, is on their end, not ours.

Colonel Carter just came back from off-world. She'll help us figure out what the trigger might be.

So what else can we do? Nothing. Not until we find out more.

Then by all means, don't let me stop you.

Colonel Caldwell, we received another message from SG C to relay.

It looks like the detonator is not on Earth but it is in Atlantis.

All right, go ahead and send it.

Also, let SG C know of Dr. Weir's request that we return

to help with the investigation. Yes, sir.

McKAY: Explosives expert, huh?

High-temperature and energetic-materials technology.

And I can tap dance too.

Colonel Sheppard, how's it going?

Checking the east-pier power-distribution centres.

Still nothing. We're headed to the west pier now.

Ronon? How about you?

Checking the grounding stations.

Also nothing.

We've got eight other teams out there. It's a big city. It's gonna take a while.

Understood. Be advised, we got a second message relayed to us.

The DHD.

It's dialling itself.

That's Earth's address.

I thought it couldn't dial Earth without the ZPM.

Well, it can't.

Did I just hear right? The gate dialled by itself?

Yes, it tried to dial Earth.

Whoever planted the bomb must have devised a program

to upload itself and automatically dial the gate as backup, in case the first dialling was halted.

Very good thing you pulled the ZPM. Rodney?

What? The transmitter.

Oh, no.

WEIR: What is it?

We just started broadcasting a distress beacon.

The gate dialled itself in order to draw attention from the transmitter.

Turn it off. I am.

It's too late. Damage is already done.

The two Wraith cruisers I was monitoring, they picked up the beacon.

They've altered their course. They're headed straight for Atlantis.

WEIR: How long before they get here?

McKAY: Maybe a day and a half.

Depending on if they need to make a hyperspace pause along the way.

We'll need to cloak the city again.

Even cloaked, the Wraith are gonna wonder where the beacon came from.

Well, then we need a ruse.

We'll take a transmitter and dump it along with some charred rubble on a beach on the mainland.

And they'll think it's jetsam that washed up

when the city exploded during the siege.

Hang on, back up a second. Let me get this straight. You think our bomb guy did this?

Well, yes. It would be easy for them to figure out that the Wraith we're here. We've been tracking them.

So he gets the gate to dial by itself in order to distract us

so he can broadcast a distress beacon that would be picked up-

By the Wraith. Yes, I believe so. Okay, why?

Well, maybe he wants to blow up the Wraith along with the city.

Two cruisers. That's insignificant compared to all the hive ships that are still out there.

Well, we don't have much time, so let's try to figure out the connection

before the cruisers get here.

Teyla. You're in an awful hurry. I am returning to the mainland.

We're evacuating my people back to the city.

Oh, yes, the Wraith are on their way. I just heard.

They will be protected under the cloak until the danger has passed.

If they don't find that bomb, Atlantis may prove even more dangerous.

They will find it. I am certain.

Before you go I need to talk to you about Charin.

I've completed my tests.

And I must say, although she is older and her body is indeed failing her,

there are treatments and procedures I can administer to prolong her life.

Really? Aye, starting with a pacemaker.

You see, one of the reasons she's feeling so weak is that her heart is beating

in an untimely fashion.

Not pumping nearly enough blood through her body.

The condition will continue, but the pacemaker will slow its progress considerably.

It could possibly add years to her life.

I will let her know, but first I have to get her and my people

to safety before the Wraith arrive. Of course.

Not sure I like the look on your face, chief.

Sir, the Daedalus just relayed a message informing us that Atlantis requested they

return to help with the investigation. Well tell them no, for the time being.

I need them to hold position in case we gather more intel.

Sir, that's the problem.

They already headed back. They're out of range.

We have no way of communicating with them or Atlantis.

And there's nothing else we can do for them?

No, sir.

Passenger manifest? Yeah.

Any names jump out?

A few, actually.

I hate this. Having to suspect one of our own.

Unfortunately, the list of suspects may not be limited to the Daedalus.

You think the Trust operative might still be here in Atlantis?

Yeah, with everything that's happened. Gate dialling by itself,

the distress beacon.

I don't know. Getting themselves blown up along with the city

doesn't seem part of their M.O.

All it takes is one nut to be talked into it.

Wow, okay.

Who around here do you suspect?

What about Lieutenant Cadman? What?

Hear me out. She's an explosives expert.

She was all set to leave on the Daedalus, but asked to stay when something came up?

She's always around when things happen. When the distress beacon started-

She's one of the most trusted officers in my command.

Not to mention the fact that she was stuck in your head for some time.

Do you always have to keep bringing that up?

Well, I bring it up because you, of all people, should know she'd never do something like that.

Well, maybe she was brainwashed, huh?

The Goa'uld are clever when it comes-

Excuse me, Dr. Weir?

Yes?

Flight just confirmed that the Daedalus has landed alongside the east pier.

Thank you.

I wanna begin the interrogations immediately.

All crew and civilian passengers have been confined to their quarters until I have a chance to talk to them-

Colonel, this investigation falls under Atlantis jurisdiction, which means

it will be conducted under my command.

Now, I welcome your assistance, but as far as questioning potential suspects-

Doctor, one of the people aboard my ship

may be an operative of The Trust.

Yes, and the sooner I figure out who that is, the better for all of us.

All right, who's first on your list?

You think I did it? Relax, doctor.

You're just one of many people I'm questioning.

No, I'm pretty sure mine's the first name

on what is probably a very short list.

Shortly after the siege, you couldn't wait to leave Atlantis.

A few months later, I received an urgent request from you

to be allowed to return.

Your second tour lasted three weeks, and suddenly you asked to leave again.

Because working conditions became intolerable for me here.

I have no friends here, my work is not respected-

And this occurs only days before we discover a bomb has been planted in the city.

Right. Of course.

So obviously I did it.

Given the circumstances, can you not see

how such behaviour might arouse suspicion?

Your suspicion, sure. Seeing as how you never cared for me,

nor valued the talents I brought to this expedition.

My personal feelings towards you, no matter what they may be,

have nothing to do with this.

Oh, please.

Everything you do is motivated by personal feelings.

You're driven by emotion, not reason.

It's why I've always felt you're not capable of doing this job.

You don't have the...

strength to be leading the fight against the Wraith.

If I remember correctly, you were the one who wanted to, what was it, run and hide.

And at the time, I was right.

If the Daedalus hadn't arrived at the eleventh hour, this city and everyone in it

would have been wiped out because of your recklessness.

There's no need for The Trust to blow it up when Dr. Weir's at the helm.

Most of the others have already been transported to the city.

A medical team will be by shortly to take you in the next Jumper.

Always running.

Always looking to the sky in fear.

Soon I shall be free of this burden.

Charin,

Dr. Beckett said he can help you.

Give you something to make you feel better.

Live longer.

I feel fine, Teyla.

I welcome this.

This is not to be feared.

You are all I have left.

My family,

my mother, my father,

they are all gone.

If you leave me,

I will truly be alone.

No, your people are your family, Teyla,

and as you look to them,

so they will look to you.

They need your strength.

You understand that I am interviewing everybody onboard the ship.

Oh, sure. I know.

I mean, whoever planted the bomb was probably eager to get away from the city.

Not that I was eager.

I was just doing my job. I couldn't have cared less when we left.

But I care about my job, I just didn't...

You were saying?

Doctor, you have nothing to be nervous about here.

I know, I know.

Unless, of course, I was guilty, then I would have something-

Sorry.

Have you noticed any crew members'

change in behaviour the last few weeks?

Anybody acting in a suspicious or odd manner?

No. Oh, wait.

I mean, no.

Oh, for God's sake.

Can I get you some water? No, wouldn't do any good.

I get the hiccups when I'm nervous. It goes way beyond annoying.

But wait.

The ponytailed guy, Dr. Kavanagh,

he was always hanging around, looking over your shoulder,

poking through computers. Kind of creepy.

Well, not really creepy as much as

peculiar, maybe?

I-I don't know, he could be a great person.

I mean, who am I to judge, you know?

I'll just shut up now.

McKAY Elizabeth?

Excuse me. Yes, Rodney.

Can you come to the control room? I think I've discovered something important.

I'm on my way. If you'll excuse me.

Yes sir. Uh, ma'am.

What have you found? Turns out there's no bomb after all.

There's no actual explosive device. The explosion will come,

but from somewhere else.

Now, with the Wraith on the way, we'll need to cloak the city, right?

Yes. To do that we need to reconnect

the ZPM in order to supply the necessary power.

And what about the stargate? Ah.

I physically disabled the DHD. It won't be able to dial, so it won't be a problem.

Now, the ZPM, however, will be. Now, as you know, the Zero-Point Module

controls the flow of massive amounts of power.

Like a dam. It's not like a dam. It's more like...

Actually, yes, it's like a dam. If you overload the dam, it breaks.

Which is why the Ancients put in place fail-safes to prevent such a thing from happening.

Like a spillway. Could we just stick with fail-safes?

The problem is, our Trust operative figured out a way to rewrite Atlantis' operating system

and disable the fail-safes, but mask it in such a way that the city's sensors didn't detect it.

So the dialling of Earth would cause the ZPM to overload.

Oh, yeah. Given that dialling another galaxy requires tremendous power,

we're talking catastrophic overload.

I mean, the explosion would destroy not just the city, but most likely the entire planet.

Can the fail-safes be reenabled? Yes, but whoever it was who did this

anticipated the possibility that it would be discovered

and they put in place a code to block access to it.

And I'm gonna guess that cracking this code isn't gonna be easy.

No, not at all. It is extremely complicated.

But for now, you've already disabled the DHD so it's impossible to dial Earth.

Yeah, but, unfortunately, any number of systems can be used in conjunction

with each other to overload the ZPM.

It'd be a much more gradual build-up than dialling the gate,

which would cause an instantaneous power spike, but equally as effective in it's results.

And we can't disconnect the ZPM because we need the cloak for when the Wraith cruisers arrive.

Bingo. Which is why our bomber activated the distress beacon, alerting them.

And that is how the Wraith coming to Atlantis

is connected to detonating the bomb.

Rewriting Atlantis' operating system and disabling the fail-safes,

that takes someone with incredible intelligence.

You mean like Dr. McKay?

And also, someone who's very eager to leave Atlantis

shortly before the weekly dial-in to Earth.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong,

but isn't Dr. Zelenka currently stuck off-world somewhere?

Why isn't he a suspect?

Our list of suspects isn't open for discussion.

But off the record, Zelenka went against his will.

And I couldn't picture him working for The Trust.

Oh, but you can picture me? In a heartbeat.

I see.

Guilty until proven innocent.

I've gone over communication logs from the Daedalus.

And it seems that you sent three unauthorized and coded messages back to Atlantis

shortly after the dial-in was halted. I have a few friends here

I was concerned about. I wanted to see if-

I thought you said you didn't have any friends here.

Now, the messages were encrypted, but don't worry. I've got people deciphering them right now.

What do you want from me?

I want the access codes so I can reenable the ZPM fail-safes.

If you're waiting for me to tell you, you'll be waiting a while seeing as I have no idea what that code is.

No, I think you do know it. And since I don't have the time to wait anymore,

I'll just have to decide the quickest way to get it from you.

Like what?

Are you gonna torture me?

Could the cloaking cause the ZPM to overload?

Yes, but I can turn off some of the systems

to keep the power level short of overload.

Maybe we should think about evacuating the city.

There's not a lot of options there.

Still, it can't hurt to have a plan ready, if we can think of one.

Dr. Beckett, why was Charin moved in here?

So I can keep a closer eye on her, tend to her if needed.

I told you she does not wish for any treatment.

You have to understand, Teyla,

that as a doctor, I can't just stand by here and let her die.

I took an oath to preserve life.

You may keep her here to make her comfortable, but if the time comes,

as much as it pains both of us, we must not interfere.

All right.

We're still working on cracking the new fail-safe code, but so far, no luck.

How are things coming with Kavanagh?

Is he still your prime suspect?

Yes, he is. I'm having some difficulty with him, though.

He's not exactly the most cooperative of people.

McKAY: Well, there's a shocker.

If he does know the code, I highly doubt he's gonna just give it to us.

Give me 10 minutes with him. I'll get it out of him.

Might not be a bad idea.

Maybe it is time to take this interrogation to the next level.

Look, I hate Kavanagh as much as the next guy, probably even more,

but we really need to be sure about this.

I agree. I mean, if there's the slightest chance that he's innocent-

We don't have time to debate morality.

Unfortunately, sometimes you have to do unpleasant things to save lives.

What are you doing?

I was going over the system's command logs for the past few months.

Why? I noticed a gap

in one of the datastream sequences from several weeks ago.

It's probably nothing, but I thought it might indicate-

A deletion point. Yes. Believe it or not, I have had some experience with these systems.

More, say, than a tap-dancing explosives expert.

I was just trying to help, Rodney. Hey, here's a thought:

Fail-safe code. Why don't you help with that?

Elizabeth.

WEIR: Yes, Rodney? The cruisers are getting closer.

I think it's time to reconnect the ZPM and cloak the city.

Go ahead.

Switching to ZPM power...

...now.

How are we doing? Well, I've powered down

several of the secondary systems, but so far,

the ZPM levels are holding below overload. Huh.

I think we're gonna be okay.

Are you in pain?

Dr. Beckett can give you something to ease it.

Teyla.

Yes, Charin.

The journey begins.

They're here.

Two Wraith cruisers just outside our atmosphere.

So far they don't behave in any way that would indicate they're aware of us.

Rodney? What?

The city's inertial dampeners just began powering up.

What? I'm trying to shut down,

but it's requiring that code. Get out of there.

It's the star drive.

Look, the city, as you know, is a giant spaceship

with a star drive capable of faster-than-light travel.

Which means that it also has inertial dampeners.

Yes, I know that.

One of the precursors to the star drive's power-up phase

is activation of the dampeners, which may very well affect our cloaking.

But that's not the worst part of it. It'll overload the ZPM.

Way overload it.

How soon before that happens?

Thirty minutes at the most, and this city will be vaporized.

We need to initiate some evacuation plans.

I told you, the Daedalus is our only option. We can't use the stargate.

And we can't go to the mainland. We fit as many people onboard

as we possibly can- There is nowhere near enough room.

Gonna have to make room. No, no, no. The life-support system

can't handle that many people. There's not enough air.

What about another planet? There's one nearby in this solar system.

The one we found the crashed Wraith cruiser.

That took us 15 hours by Puddle Jumper. It's a blink of the eye for the Daedalus.

Then we could use the Jumpers to ferry the rest of the people.

Quickest thing to do is get the code.

Just let me in with Kavanagh. I'll get it from him.

ZPM overload in 24 minutes.

Do it.

Oh, God.

Teyla, what are you doing?

We are about to begin the Ring Ceremony

according to Charin's wishes.

We're evacuating the city in matter of minutes. It all could all explode.

We are aware of that. And many of my people are boarding the Daedalus as we speak.

I and the others will leave with the final groups aboard the Puddle Jumpers.

Cutting it a little close, don't you think?

I made a promise to Charin, and I intend to keep it, no matter the cost.

ZPM overload in 10 minutes.

We should think about getting to the Jumpers.

Dr. Weir, Rodney, I found something.

Stop!

What did you do to him?

Nothing. He fainted before I could touch him.

Dr. Weir, we're ready to go. We'll meet you at the rendezvous site.

What the hell's going on here? I asked Hermiod to beam you here

so you could give us the access code.

What? Lieutenant Cadman discovered a gap

in the system command logs that indicated two deletion points-

No, we don't have time for this.

Your identification code was used to access this city's operating system.

You copied it, took it back to The Trust, whose Goa'uld scientists

then rewrote the program to overload the ZPM.

You then brought it back here and uploaded it into the Atlantis computers.

You think I am working for The Trust?

We know you're working for The Trust.

So give us the code.

Oh, my God.

I will never give you that code.

I warn you, as a Goa'uld I now possess the strength of many men.

It won't be a fair fight then.

Hold on.

Colonel?

Colonel.

Sheppard.

We don't have much time. We need that access code.

ZPM levels are spiking. We need to go now!

The access code.

Oh, Carson. Hermiod's just beginning initial calculations on the extraction.

Extraction? Now?

Hermiod's gonna attempt to remove the Goa'uld from Colonel Caldwell using Asgard beaming technology.

Quite remarkable, actually. And complicated.

I mean, the calculations are impossibly intricate.

You don't wanna go beaming out a chunk of his brain.

Lovely, Rodney.

Hey!

Look who's back.

It's Mr. Mom. Fun with the kids?

Do not even speak to me.

Did you see Zelenka?

No.

You should take a quick look before he washes his face.

The kids did a real number on him.

I asked Dr. Beckett to give everyone on the base a full examination.

If Colonel Caldwell could have a Goa'uld in him, any of us could.

That's not a pleasant thought.

No. No, it isn't.

I crossed a line, John, with Kavanagh.

You did what you had to do.

The good news was he wasn't hurt.

Here we are gloating about the infighting among the Wraith.

How are we any different?
