Praise the gods, you've finally arrived.

And you are far more beautiful
than I ever could have imagined.

Excuse me?

You have not come
for the arranged marriage?

No.

- Would you perhaps be seeking a husband?
- No.

Oh.

Then what brings you to our town?

We've heard of strangers
who recently arrived,

a rough-looking group
boasting of many Wraith kills?

Yeah, we think they might be Satedan.

Ah, yes, you mean
the three loudmouthed drunkards

who spend their days
carousing at the tavern?

- Sounds like my people.
- They've taken rooms at the local inn.

- Thank you.
- You are most welcome.

And should you ever reconsider
your desire for a husband...

All right, I'll check the inn,
you check the tavern.

Sounds good.

Hello.

I'm looking for three individuals
who recently arrived.

I've heard they are
voracious eaters and drinkers.

And apparently, they've been quite vocal

about their recent successes
against the Wraith.

These people you're looking for,

they're either very brave or very stupid.

How so?

Well, if word of their bragging
got back to the Wraith,

it could be very bad for them.

I doubt they need to fear
a Wraith overhearing their conversation.

Of course not.

But the Wraith don't always
need their own ears to hear.

- Do you know the people whom I seek?
- Sorry. I mind my own business,

which is something
you might want to consider.

And you might want to consider
offering your unsolicited advice

to someone who actually
cares to receive it.

An attitude like that could
get you hurt, or worse.

What's the first to go?
The ears or those pretty eyes?

How about your head?

- Ronon!
- Ara, Rakai!

- Hmm, heard the rumor?
- No, what rumor?

- Never mind. Forget I mentioned it.
- Wait. What is this about?

No, it would be irresponsible
for me to say anything.

All right, look, if you're
going to twist my arm,

the IOA have made their final decision.

- They've chosen the new leader of Atlantis.
- Well, who is it?

Well, there's been
no formal announcement,

but word is they're going
with their foremost expert

in ancient technology
and Replicator activity.

Who does that sound like to you?

- You?
- Yes. Who else?

I heard they were leaning toward
someone with a science background...

And why not?
It's about time that one of us

ended up in a position of real power.

- Oh, oh, and by "us," you mean "you. "
- Exactly.

It's kind of scary, though.
You know, I'll be making decisions

that don't affect just the city,
but the entire galaxy.

Yes, scary. Very scary.

On the other hand, a leader never
second-guesses himself.

I'm up for the challenge. I know I am.
I'm going to make them proud.

Radek, I'm going to make you proud.

The Wraith-Replicator war is in full swing.

From what I hear, the Replicators
are kicking some serious ass

in their last offensive.

That's good news, John. Well done.

- Hey!
- I'll have the reports ready for you.

Sam! What's new?

Just making preparations
for the change in command here.

- You don't have to tell me. I already know.
- Really?

I just want to say that I think the IOA
could not have made a better choice.

- Thanks, Rodney.
- No, no, no, no, you are too kind.

What?

Uh... "Thank you, Rodney. "
No, no, wait a minute. You mean the...

Yeah. She's our new boss.

Hmm.

I thought you guys were dead.
Believe me, so did we.

How did you manage to survive
the Wraith attack on Sateda?

- We weren't there.
- I don't understand.

When we first made the decision
to fight back against the Wraith,

we didn't just wait
for them to come to us.

We started running ops
against some of their known strongholds.

They were quick strikes.
Get in, hit them hard, get out.

Only on this particular occasion,
we kind of messed up the getting out part.

I saw the Darts hit your position.

What you didn't see was that we'd found
a network of caves in the hillside.

When the Wraith attacked, the entrance
collapsed, and we were sealed in.

It took us three days to dig our way out.

And by then, the place
was crawling with them.

It was obvious they were
gearing up for an attack.

It took another two weeks
before we could find our way

through the gate,
and by then it was too late.

When we got back to Sateda,
there was nothing left.

I'm sorry.
I should have never left you behind.

Don't be an idiot, Ronon.

When you took second squad
back to the gate,

you had no way of knowing those Darts
were going to come through.

RAKAl: And if we'd
have gone back with you,

then we would have died
in the attack on Sateda

along with everybody else.

The only reason why you survived
was because they made you a runner.

- You heard about that?
- A while back, we started hearing stories.

They said you were seven feet tall
and had the strength of five men.

People like to exaggerate.

- They also said you killed 100 Wraith.
- That part sounds about right.

Well, then, to the misery of our enemies

and the reunion of friends
come back from the dead.

Oh, yeah.

On the day I left Chulak,
Master Bra'tac said to me,

"Draw from your past,
but do not let your past draw from you. "

That's good advice.

Still, I know I'm going to miss
this place and all of you.

I would have been offended
had you felt otherwise.

- Ten years is a long time.
- It has been 10 years well spent.

We have defeated numerous enemies
and overcome many threats.

It was never dull.

We have accomplished much here,
but now it is Atlantis that is in need of you.

Yeah. Part of me is
looking forward to going, but...

You know, there's a part of me
that thinks maybe it's too soon,

that I'm leaving my work here unfinished.

Your work will continue,
only in a different place.

You have been bestowed
an incredible honor, Colonel Carter,

and I believe you should embrace it.

And know this.

Though we may not be leaving with you,
SG-1 will never be far away.

So I can expect
you guys to come and visit sometime?

Undomesticated equines
could not keep me away.

Nice callback.

Indeed.

All right.

- Time to go.
- Mmm.

What's that?

It's a selection of fruits
from the various worlds we trade with.

- I thought it'd be thoughtful.
- Try lame.

Really? And what would you suggest?

You know, maybe some flowers.
You could brighten up her quarters.

Hmm, flowers. Here, take this and go.

- Colonel Carter, welcome to Atlantis.
- Thank you. It's nice to be here.

I want you all to know how honored
I am to accept this appointment.

I've come here fully committed
to this expedition,

to Atlantis, and most importantly,
to each and every one of you.

I look forward to working
with all of you. Thank you.

- McKAY: Nice speech.
- Thank you.

I also do weddings and award shows.
Book early to avoid disappointment.

- Should we go check out your new digs?
- Yeah.

- Rodney.
- Sam.

Ow!

RAKAl: Stings, doesn't it?

What the hell have the three
of you been doing all these years?

Oh, eating, drinking, killing Wraith.

We've hit them
more times than I can count.

Racked up a pretty nice body count.

Not to mention the 12 Darts we've downed.

Ah!

We're armed, we're mobile,

and occasionally
we get some pretty good intel.

- Well, sounds like a pretty nice run.
- But there have been a few sacrifices.

Yeah? What do you mean?

There were five of us
who came out of that cave alive.

But we lost Marika
on the first assault against the Wraith,

and then Hemi last year.

It hasn't been easy.

We don't have much to work with,
but we make do.

Sometimes it's not enough.

Yeah, well, I might be able to help.
We've got the manpower, the equipment.

My friends and I, we can...

Uh...

Anyway, to Marika and Hemi.

- To Marika and Hemi.
- RAKAl: To Marika and Hemi.

Thank you.

Hey, Rodney. Come on in.

I brought you a little something
to spruce up the place.

Well, thank you. That's very sweet.
There's a vase right there.

McKAY: Hmm.

Oh, Colonel Sheppard dropped that off.

Apparently, it's a sampling of fruit

from the homeworlds
of our various trading partners.

Oh.

I thought it was a really thoughtful gesture.

Oh, son of a...

Anyway, look, I just...

I just came by to welcome you to Atlantis,
see how you're settling in,

and, you know, if you needed anything.

And did I mention I was seeing someone?

- I'm sorry, what?
- I'm seeing someone.

Yes, I only bring it up now
because you're here now

and we'll be working together a lot more

and, you know,
I just thought with our past...

Our past?

You know, the unrequited lust
that's been hanging over our heads

for what seems like forever.

- Rodney!
- I just don't want things to be awkward

between the two of us, you know?

Kind of like they are now.

Rodney, I'm sure we'll be fine.

Oh, of course. I mean, I'll be fine. I'm just...

- With you...
- I hear you're in charge.

Ronon, this is Colonel Carter.
Sam, this is Ronon.

- He's...
- Satedan, and a member of your team.

Of course. What can I do for you?

I want to bring some friends to Atlantis,

and apparently
I've got to clear it through you first.

Unfortunately,
some new security procedures

prevent me from allowing any offworld
visits to Atlantis for the time being.

- On whose authority?
- It was a directive from the IOA.

- Well, they don't need to know.
- Ronon, she's...

I'm sure you understand
what a precarious position we're in here.

It is imperative that the location
of this base remain a secret.

And it will.
They're my people. I'll vouch for them.

I'm sure you can, but for now,

we're on a new planet
with a new set of rules.

And a new person in charge.

Weir never would've doubted me.

Okay, first of all, Ronon,
I'm not doubting you.

These new regulations
apply to everyone on this base.

And secondly,

I'm not Dr. Weir.

Wow.

- Is he always like that?
- No, no...

No, actually,
you've caught him on a good day.

Okay. Try it together and turn!

- Work on it.
- Hey.

- Well, that was fast.
- Yeah, I said it would be.

You could have taken your time.
We like it here.

We're thinking of staying on
a few more days.

Then where will you go?

Wherever.

That's one of the nice things
about not being tied down.

You go where you want
and you leave when you're not wanted.

Yeah, well, I was hoping my people would
show a little bit more hospitality, but...

Don't worry about it. I understand.

Not everybody gets
an invitation to Atlantis.

Don't look so surprised.

You travel as much
around this galaxy as we do

and sooner or later,
you'll start hearing rumors

about new people
in the city of the Ancients

and a runner who joined them.

Man, I'm sorry.

I wish I could've been
straight with you from the start.

They placed their trust in you,
and you proved them worthy.

- I wouldn't have expected any less.
- Yeah, but still...

What, you thought they'd make
an exception because it was you asking?

- I'm supposed to be their friend.
- No.

You're their ally. Their guest.

Me, Rakai, Ara, we're your friends.

I don't doubt they're good people.

They helped you out when you needed it,
and from what I hear,

they've done more to hurt
the Wraith than anyone.

You've got to respect that.

But it doesn't mean
you've got to commit to them.

The way I see it,
now that we're back together,

you belong with us.

- Pretty impressive, isn't it?
- To be honest, it's a little overwhelming.

Coming from somebody with your record,
that says something.

You know, John,
your name was on the shortlist.

Yeah, I know.

I saw what they did to Elizabeth,
the politics and the red tape.

I didn't envy her. I don't envy you.

Thanks.

You know, for most of us,
this thing with Elizabeth isn't over yet.

She's still out there.

You really believe there's
a chance she's still alive?

- There's only one way to know for sure.
- You're suggesting we go back.

We should have done it sooner,
but the IOA's been stonewalling me.

Now that you're in charge,
maybe you can give me the green light.

I'm sorry, but it's too dangerous.

It's no more dangerous
than the last time we went in.

Circumstances were different.

Plus, you had an advantage then
that you don't have now.

Well, she's the one
who gave us that advantage.

The only reason we're here
is because of what she did.

Believe me, I know.

And I don't like the idea
of leaving someone behind

anymore than you do.

But I am not about to send you
or anyone else on a suicide mission.

Now, you come to me with a plan that has

even an outside chance
of succeeding, and I'll consider it.

Short of that, John, I'm sorry.
There's nothing I can do.

Fair enough.

- You seem distracted today.
- Oh, no, I'm fine.

- What's wrong?
- There's nothing. I told you, I'm fine.

Very well. I suppose
we should just continue training.

There's nothing.

Ow! Okay, stop hitting me!
God! I'll talk.

I'm thinking of leaving Atlantis.

I'm thinking of leaving Atlantis.

Where would you go?

Must it come down to a choice

between Atlantis
and your Satedan friends?

They're more than my friends, Teyla.
They're my family.

We've always been there for each other.

- You wouldn't understand.
- I disagree.

Leaving my fellow Athosians
for a home here on Atlantis

was a very difficult decision.

I was their leader.

For some, the only leader
they'd ever known.

And despite the fact that I was as close
as a trip through the stargate,

there were moments
when I felt I'd betrayed them.

- So what? You got over it?
- No.

I sometimes still
second-guess my decision.

But then I remember
that I can do more here to help my people,

and the rest of the humans in this galaxy,
than I ever could on my homeworld.

- Teyla's already spoken to you, hasn't she?
- Yeah, well, we had a little chat.

- Mmm. So let's hear it.
- Hear what?

Whatever you've got to say.

- Not going to say anything.
- Really?

I don't have to because you already know
what I'm gonna tell you.

That you're a valuable member of my team

and that it would be difficult
to find somebody to take your place.

- Mmm-hmm.
- And that you may think you're going back

to find something you've lost,
but there's nothing to go back to.

Sateda is gone, and living
on the run with your buddies

isn't going to bring that back.

- You're not going to say any of that?
- I don't have to.

Look, this isn't about me
trying to bring back the past.

Well, then what is it?

They need me. They always have.
I'm the one that took care of them,

got them home alive
whenever we went into battle.

You're one man, Ronon.
You can't expect to protect them forever.

Probably not.

But that's where you guys come in.

We got some intel on a Wraith target.

The Wraith and the Replicators are

kind of beating the crap
out of each other right now.

I think it's counterproductive
to run an op against them.

I have a feeling you'll change your mind
once you hear the details.

- Let's hear it.
- Not yet.

I want Tyre, Ara, and Rakai in on this.

You want to hit a Wraith lab?

No offense, but that's awfully
close to crazy talk territory.

It's a weapons research facility.

From what we've heard,
the place is undermanned.

We know the Wraith are being
attacked on several fronts.

They don't have the resources anymore
to properly guard all their facilities.

Still, she did say "undermanned"
rather than "unmanned. "

- There is a big difference.
- It won't matter. We can handle it.

Then why do you need
our help to pull it off?

We don't.

But we will need your help
to get away once we're done.

I see. We're your designated drivers.

This is our target.

It's located a good half day's journey
from the gate on foot.

Having a ship would make things
a whole lot easier getting us in and out

before any reinforcements arrive.

Don't worry. All you got to do is fly.
We'll do the legwork.

Well, that's very considerate of you,
but if we commit, we're all in.

And I really don't see why we would.
I mean, sure it would be great

to get our hands
on some new Wraith tech,

but maybe if we stumbled
across a stockpile,

- or maybe bought some off of eBay, but...
- I think what he's trying to say is,

we're not really sure
if we want to risk our life

for something like this.

Maybe wait a month or two,
let the Replicators and the Wraith

soften each other up, then we do lunch,
we talk about it again.

One of the things
they're working on right now in the lab

is a way to switch off
the Replicator attack code.

- Is such a thing even possible?
- The code's been deactivated once before.

Who knows? It could've been
the Wraith who did it the first time.

- Well, we can't let it happen.
- No.

If the war with the Replicators ends,
then the Wraith will once again be able

to direct their attention
to the rest of the galaxy.

So...

Are you in?

Your buddies seem like
a perfectly capable enough bunch,

but if I do this, the last thing I need
is someone going off half-cocked

and risking this op and, well,
oh, yeah, our asses.

This isn't their first time doing this, John.

May be the first time doing it
with company, though,

and I don't want it turning into
a big pissing match.

Yeah, well, I'll keep my group in line.
Do the same for yours.

Last time I checked,
it was your group, too.

Yeah...

Look, I was going to wait to tell you this,
but I've made my decision.

Once we finish this op,
I'm going to be leaving the Atlantis.

Come on in.

Packing?

Yeah.

You know, the fact that
you brought all this stuff here

tells me that
you considered Atlantis home.

- That you were happy here.
- Yeah, well, I was.

I am.

Your friends are worried about you.

Well, they shouldn't be.
I can take care of myself.

That's not the point.

When you accepted
the offer to join Atlantis,

you became a part of something.

And like it or not,
you have roots here now.

People who care about you,
who depend on you.

Walking away may be
a lot harder than you think.

Oh, I'm not walking away.

Just because I'm not a part
of Sheppard's team does not mean

I'm any less willing to help out Atlantis,
or put my life on the line for any of you.

I'm not questioning your loyalty, Ronon,
only the wisdom in leaving if, as you say,

you don't want to
turn your back on Atlantis.

Coordinating our efforts with you
and your friends may not be so easy.

We're about to find out, aren't we?

I need you to reconsider
your decision to leave.

And if I don't,

given everything that I know
about Atlantis,

you're going to try to stop me?

I'm hoping it won't come to that.

Put us down near the south end.
We'll meet less resistance

if we access this place through the back.

Got it.

Once we head in, we'll take the lead.
You watch our backs.

Do you know where you're going?

Our target is located
somewhere on the second level.

Um, maybe you could be
a little more specific?

We don't have an exact floor plan,
if that's what you're asking.

The whole second level
is a high-security sector.

If you are unsure,
would it not be counterproductive

for us to follow you?

It's better this way.
These Wraith facilities are very confusing.

We know what we're looking for.

Oh, and we don't?
This isn't exactly our first op, you know.

Really? How many Wraith have
you killed in hand-to-hand combat?

- I hardly think that's what this is about.
- That's what I thought.

You know, we've taken out
entire hive ships, okay?

Compared to us, you are amateurs.

Easy.

If we can't play nice together,
then let's not.

We got a lot of ground to cover
in a short amount of time,

so we will follow your lead.

Then we'll split up into two teams
once we reach the second level.

Are you cool with that?

- Yes.
- Good.

Approaching target location.

This is it.

- Hurry up!
- I got it.

Everybody in.

We'll go this way. You go that way.

- Contact us if you find anything.
- Yeah.

Good luck.

Ronon.

Let's go.

What do you think? Test subjects?

Or the Wraith version
of a vending machine.

I hate to be the guy to say it,
but we can't really help these people.

We got to keep moving.

Right.

This thing's been way too quiet
and way too easy.

I kind of like quiet and easy.
Makes for a nice change.

Wraith!

Ronon, wait!

Oh, to hell with it!

Oh, come on, it worked for him!

Ha! I did it!

Oh!

Oh, thank God, it's you three.
They got Teyla and Sheppard and...

Bring him.

Who's the amateur now?

- Ronon, what happened?
- I need to talk to Colonel Carter right away.

- John, are you all right?
- Bit of a hangover.

The fact that Ronon
and his buddies aren't here is a good sign.

McKAY: Well, not really.

Ronon's buddies are the reason we're here.

- They set us up.
- What are you talking about?

I ran into them while I was trying to...
While I was effecting a strategic retreat.

- They stunned me.
- Are you sure?

It's pretty hard to misinterpret
something like that.

- Was Ronon with them?
- I didn't see him.

That one.

Hold on, here, guys.

Rodney.

Stay strong, Rodney!
- I'll try.

I said I'm fine.

I tried to radio Sheppard, but got
no response from him, Teyla, or McKay.

- And what about the Satedans?
- We got separated.

- I'm guessing the Wraith got to them, too.
- So much for this op being a cakewalk.

Okay, we've gone from support
to rescue and recovery.

Dr. Zelenka, ready a Jumper.

- Yes, Colonel.
- They'll be expecting us.

Make that two Jumpers.

McKAY: Would you guys mind telling me
where we're going?

Seriously, I'm not big on surprises.
Even as a kid,

I had to sneak a peek
at my Christmas presents

because I couldn't stand the suspense.

- I remember this one time...
- We require your assistance.

With what?

You tampered with
the Replicator base code.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Okay, I may have made
a few small adjustments. So what?

This is not the first time
they have challenged us.

So it was the Wraith
that deactivated the attack code.

Many thousands of years ago,
we had defeated the Ancients.

The galaxy was ours,
and then these things appeared.

- I take it you're not a big fan...
- They are an abomination!

They're not even alive.

In other words, you can't eat them,
so they're no good to you.

They are machines.
Machines can be reprogrammed.

Okay, fine. So what do you want from me?

We have attempted to upload
the deactivation virus once again.

Our attempts have been unsuccessful.

We need you to undo
the changes you made

so as to render the virus
once more effective against them.

Of course. I see.

Thing is, that could be kind of tricky.

The test subject
will make things easier for you.

Test subject?

A Replicator.

Oh, my God.

I've thought about it,

and I want you to know
that when the time comes,

I'll respect whatever decision you make
regarding your future with us.

This could be the one and only op
we go on together.

Then we'd better make the most of it.

- Dr. McKay, how is your work progressing?
- It's been kind of slow.

I mean, re-establishing
the base code's original setting

isn't something
I'll be able to accomplish overnight.

Colonel Sheppard and Teyla
will be most disappointed to hear this.

I'll see to it.

I think I might be able
to get it finished much sooner.

I understand your desire to delay

in the hope that it will
give your people time to mount a rescue.

In fact, I just received word
they're on their way.

But we are ready for them.

- Okay, they're moving away.
- Thank you, Jumper 2.

- Take us in, Lieutenant.
- Yes, Colonel.

Let's go, let's go!

There's a power relay
behind this wall here.

- You all right?
Well, it's about time.

Any longer, we would've had to
save ourselves.

Did Ronon manage to
make it back to Atlantis?

- He did.
- Where is he?

We split up to cover more ground.

Secure the entrance. Go.

All right, come on, let's get out of here.

Where are you holding them?

Why don't you ask your friends?

- All clear.
- All clear? You could've shot me!

Oh, no. Oh...

Let's go find Ronon.

Deal with him.

You're Wraith worshippers?

- Ronon, you need to understand that...
- After what they did to Sateda?

Sateda is gone,
and so are the lives we knew.

We had a choice.
To die with the past, or live for the future.

- What did they do to you?
They rewarded us

with the gift of everlasting life.

The same gift can be yours
if you're willing to accept it.

We resisted at first. We were stubborn,
but the Wraith were determined.

They showed us our futures.

They allowed us
to experience our life's end,

pushing us to the brink
so that we could see the truth,

and brought us back.

They showed us again
and again and again...

- Until they broke you.
- Until we finally accepted the truth.

And their gift.

Ronon, join us.

- You're insane.
- Don't let your pride get in the way!

Like Marika and Hemi.

They didn't die on any run, did they?

They were murdered
because they wouldn't turn.

They were killed
by their own stubbornness.

Don't make the same mistake. Join us!

No. Never.

Run. You run.
Run, and get away while you can,

because the next time we meet,
it will not be as friends.

There won't be a next time.

- We'll finish this like true Satedans.
- You are not Satedans!

Rakai, no!

- So much for honor.
- No weapons.

Hasn't there been enough killing?

Huh?

Ronon, where are your friends?

They're right here.

Let's go home.

- Is that my painting?
- Yes.

Rodney felt that you should have it back.

- I didn't give it to him.
- Well, he helped himself,

assuming that you were leaving it behind.

How you feeling?

- All right.
- It's nice to have you back.

Thanks. It's good to be back.
