1 00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:12,013 I'm just saying, as a team veteran to the new guy, 2 00:00:12,096 --> 00:00:14,724 heavy lunch before mission departure, badidea. 3 00:00:14,807 --> 00:00:16,577 And even with the inertial dampeners, this whole flying thing 4 00:00:16,601 --> 00:00:17,881 is best done on an empty stomach. 5 00:00:17,935 --> 00:00:19,538 Yeah, well, I've got a pretty strong stomach. 6 00:00:19,562 --> 00:00:21,206 Hey, I can eat frozen dinners without thawing them. 7 00:00:21,230 --> 00:00:22,332 Sometimes it even affects me. 8 00:00:22,356 --> 00:00:25,318 McKay, are you reading anything? 9 00:00:27,945 --> 00:00:30,156 Nothing. Life signs from the planet are negative. 10 00:00:30,239 --> 00:00:31,490 Then it is a shame. 11 00:00:31,574 --> 00:00:33,093 From what we read in the Atlantis database 12 00:00:33,117 --> 00:00:35,369 the dorandans were a wonderful race of people. 13 00:00:35,453 --> 00:00:37,705 Well, the database is over 10,000 years old. 14 00:00:37,788 --> 00:00:39,508 You can bet things have changed around here. 15 00:00:41,042 --> 00:00:42,501 Sheppard. 16 00:00:49,634 --> 00:00:51,135 Okay. 17 00:00:51,969 --> 00:00:53,971 That's not something you see every day. 18 00:00:54,972 --> 00:00:57,016 There was a great battle here. 19 00:01:00,478 --> 00:01:02,480 Teyla: That is a hive ship. 20 00:01:04,148 --> 00:01:05,816 That was a hive ship. 21 00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:08,694 Something put a lot of holes in it, all right. 22 00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:10,780 We should check it out. 23 00:01:10,863 --> 00:01:13,634 What if whatever put holes in it wants to put holes in us? 24 00:01:13,658 --> 00:01:16,244 We”, like you said, a lot's changed in 10,000 years. 25 00:01:32,635 --> 00:01:35,346 That would explain the lack of life signs. 26 00:01:36,097 --> 00:01:38,849 This is what usually happens when you fight back. 27 00:01:38,933 --> 00:01:41,227 These folks took out a fleet of wraith ships. 28 00:01:41,310 --> 00:01:44,105 I'd say they did a pretty good job fighting back. 29 00:01:44,188 --> 00:01:48,359 Hold on. I'm picking up faint energy readings coming from 30 00:01:51,195 --> 00:01:52,530 there. 31 00:01:56,492 --> 00:01:59,704 Well, that would explain how they were able to put up such a good fight. 32 00:01:59,787 --> 00:02:04,417 How? Because they were ancients. 33 00:03:29,377 --> 00:03:32,713 Definitely ancient design. Their latest stuff, too. 34 00:03:33,464 --> 00:03:35,341 Their latest being 10,000 years old. 35 00:03:35,966 --> 00:03:38,511 Looks a lot like the labs we found on Atlantis. 36 00:03:38,844 --> 00:03:40,679 So this was one of their outposts? 37 00:03:40,763 --> 00:03:43,349 Yet the ancestors made no mention of their presence here 38 00:03:43,432 --> 00:03:45,726 in the database. Why? 39 00:03:45,810 --> 00:03:48,145 Well, let's find out. Can you power it up? 40 00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:49,563 Working on it. 41 00:04:08,833 --> 00:04:10,960 Sheppard: I got two bodies here. 42 00:04:15,339 --> 00:04:17,466 Ronon: I got three more over here. 43 00:04:17,550 --> 00:04:18,843 Whatever happened here, 44 00:04:18,926 --> 00:04:21,011 no one came back to claim the dead. 45 00:04:26,767 --> 00:04:28,936 Sheppard: Can't tell if they were fed on by the wraith. 46 00:04:29,019 --> 00:04:30,604 Ronon: Yeah, something killed them. 47 00:04:30,688 --> 00:04:33,065 Teyla: Something killed everyone on this world. 48 00:04:33,149 --> 00:04:36,777 Now, why is this outpost, if that's what it is, still intact? 49 00:04:36,861 --> 00:04:38,863 It doesn't make sense. What do you think, Rodney? 50 00:04:41,031 --> 00:04:42,575 Sorry. I wasn't listening, 51 00:04:42,658 --> 00:04:45,995 but it just struck me that this is an ancient outpost. 52 00:04:46,078 --> 00:04:47,913 Why would the wraith leave it intact? 53 00:04:50,291 --> 00:04:51,917 That's a good question. 54 00:04:55,671 --> 00:04:58,048 All right. So... 55 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,555 Weir: So it's a military research facility? 56 00:05:04,638 --> 00:05:06,533 From what we can tell, it's a ground-based version 57 00:05:06,557 --> 00:05:08,702 of the satellite weapon we used to destroy that hive ship. 58 00:05:08,726 --> 00:05:11,353 McKay: With one major exception, firepower. 59 00:05:11,437 --> 00:05:14,833 I mean, if that single outpost is responsible for destroying an entire wraith fleet... 60 00:05:14,857 --> 00:05:16,177 And you're sure it was this weapon 61 00:05:16,233 --> 00:05:17,544 that destroyed all those wraith ships? 62 00:05:17,568 --> 00:05:19,546 It had to be. There's nothing on the planet that suggests 63 00:05:19,570 --> 00:05:21,822 the dorandans had anything capable of inflicting 64 00:05:21,906 --> 00:05:23,091 anywhere near that much damage. 65 00:05:23,115 --> 00:05:24,555 If we could learn of such technology, 66 00:05:24,617 --> 00:05:26,386 we could defend other worlds from being culled. 67 00:05:26,410 --> 00:05:27,661 It didn't save the dorandans. 68 00:05:27,745 --> 00:05:28,985 Yeah, but at the end of the day 69 00:05:29,038 --> 00:05:30,724 the outpost was still standing. And that means... 70 00:05:30,748 --> 00:05:31,892 Well, I'm not sure what that means, 71 00:05:31,916 --> 00:05:33,935 but it means something definitely worth finding out. 72 00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:35,794 Colonel? He's right. 73 00:05:35,878 --> 00:05:37,856 It's definitely worth sending a research team back. 74 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,216 We”, give me optican, Collins and Zelenka, 75 00:05:40,299 --> 00:05:41,509 if he's over the stomach qu. 76 00:05:41,592 --> 00:05:43,469 We'll try to access the computer's logbooks. 77 00:05:43,594 --> 00:05:47,681 See if we can decipher them... Okay, okay. Easy sell. Go. 78 00:05:47,765 --> 00:05:49,099 Oh, good. 79 00:05:54,104 --> 00:05:55,481 Teyla, um, 80 00:05:55,564 --> 00:05:58,108 I heard you were heading offworld on a personal mission. 81 00:05:58,192 --> 00:06:00,694 To belkan, yes. Sounds interesting. 82 00:06:03,239 --> 00:06:04,949 The belkans possess a particular 83 00:06:05,032 --> 00:06:07,159 disease-resistant strain of flaxseed, 84 00:06:07,243 --> 00:06:09,954 which would double the yield of our crops on the mainland. 85 00:06:10,037 --> 00:06:11,038 In exchange, 86 00:06:11,121 --> 00:06:14,959 I intend to offer athosian manpower to aid in their harvest. 87 00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:18,087 Still interested? 88 00:06:18,504 --> 00:06:20,881 Uh, this place has everything I could want. 89 00:06:20,965 --> 00:06:22,299 Don't get me wrong, but... 90 00:06:22,383 --> 00:06:25,094 Sometimes you feel the need to go somewhere else. 91 00:06:25,177 --> 00:06:27,972 Anywhere else. I know the feeling. 92 00:06:30,099 --> 00:06:32,184 Bring only weapons you can conceal. 93 00:06:33,894 --> 00:06:35,521 Illkeepit to a bare minimum. 94 00:06:52,162 --> 00:06:54,748 Zelenka: I'm telling you, at least 0.09%. 95 00:06:54,832 --> 00:06:56,512 Oh, please, please. Move the decimal place. 96 00:06:56,542 --> 00:06:58,622 I mean, it's impossible, for god's sake. 97 00:06:58,669 --> 00:07:00,129 Have we figured out what this is? No. 98 00:07:00,170 --> 00:07:02,923 No, I wouldn't say no. No, we have a theory. But we don't know yet. 99 00:07:03,007 --> 00:07:04,526 No, but based on the shielding around the chamber, 100 00:07:04,550 --> 00:07:05,926 what else could it be? 101 00:07:06,010 --> 00:07:08,429 Have you tried turning it on? That's what we're working on. 102 00:07:08,512 --> 00:07:10,532 The problem is that there's no direct link between it 103 00:07:10,556 --> 00:07:13,058 and the main power control systems, which among other things, 104 00:07:13,142 --> 00:07:16,604 led us to theorize that it's an ancillary power supply for the weapons systems. 105 00:07:16,687 --> 00:07:18,522 Cool. See that? See? 106 00:07:18,606 --> 00:07:20,083 See the way he lights up at the mention of that? 107 00:07:20,107 --> 00:07:22,568 It's like Dr. Vogel at the mention of pastries. 108 00:07:22,651 --> 00:07:24,571 They found out a way to soup up their space guns? 109 00:07:24,612 --> 00:07:26,614 Yes, but it's... it's much more than that. 110 00:07:26,697 --> 00:07:29,283 Well, the sticking point is that there's no tie 111 00:07:29,366 --> 00:07:31,744 between the power generator and the primary capacitor. 112 00:07:31,827 --> 00:07:35,039 Yeah, meaning they would have to channel the power directly into the weapon. 113 00:07:35,122 --> 00:07:37,291 Which, I'm sure, means nothing to you. 114 00:07:37,374 --> 00:07:39,728 Means they could fire multiple bursts without having to store up 115 00:07:39,752 --> 00:07:42,338 more power for the next firing sequence. 116 00:07:44,548 --> 00:07:46,258 Yes. Very good. 117 00:07:46,342 --> 00:07:48,719 Which leads me back to "cool." 118 00:07:49,219 --> 00:07:51,263 Yes, but it only makes sense if we're right. 119 00:07:51,347 --> 00:07:52,765 About what? 120 00:07:54,016 --> 00:07:55,851 Tell him. Not yet. 121 00:07:56,268 --> 00:07:57,787 Come on, McKay, you read the equations. 122 00:07:57,811 --> 00:07:59,647 What else could it be? An ancient typo? 123 00:07:59,730 --> 00:08:02,816 Well, we know they're not perfect, because they're all dead. 124 00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:05,712 Look, I just... I just... I don't want you to get all excited over nothing. 125 00:08:05,736 --> 00:08:07,946 Well, maybe you're right. I'll give you a hint. 126 00:08:08,030 --> 00:08:09,549 It seems that the ancients were experimenting 127 00:08:09,573 --> 00:08:12,743 with high-energy physics on a level that we've never seen before. 128 00:08:16,413 --> 00:08:17,581 Wow. Yes, wow. 129 00:08:17,665 --> 00:08:20,167 I just... I wanna be sure. So... 130 00:08:23,504 --> 00:08:25,547 I'll do my best to wait. 131 00:08:30,094 --> 00:08:33,472 Teyla: The manpower that you are demanding is outrageous. 132 00:08:33,806 --> 00:08:37,059 You would turn my people into nothing more than indentured slaves 133 00:08:37,142 --> 00:08:38,977 to serve your farms. 134 00:08:40,229 --> 00:08:44,274 It would seem that you have nothing else of value to trade but your people. 135 00:08:47,277 --> 00:08:51,865 Mattas, you know full well my offer is fair. 136 00:08:52,741 --> 00:08:54,034 I'm sorry, Teyla. 137 00:08:54,118 --> 00:08:58,163 If you had something of more value to offer, technology, weapons. 138 00:08:58,372 --> 00:09:00,165 You've heard my terms. 139 00:09:02,793 --> 00:09:04,962 Then our business is done here. 140 00:09:07,506 --> 00:09:09,466 She said her offer is fair. 141 00:09:13,470 --> 00:09:14,847 I say it isn't. 142 00:09:17,391 --> 00:09:19,810 Well, I say it is. 143 00:09:36,577 --> 00:09:37,786 What? 144 00:09:39,997 --> 00:09:41,999 I had the situation under control. 145 00:09:42,332 --> 00:09:43,751 It didn't look like it. 146 00:09:43,834 --> 00:09:45,544 So you came to my rescue? 147 00:09:46,670 --> 00:09:49,631 You have no idea what is at stake during these negotiations. 148 00:09:49,715 --> 00:09:51,091 My people depend on me. 149 00:09:51,175 --> 00:09:52,801 They were taking advantage of you. 150 00:09:52,885 --> 00:09:54,219 No, they were not. 151 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,263 That is what I wanted them to think. 152 00:09:56,346 --> 00:09:58,474 A negotiation is a delicate process. 153 00:09:58,557 --> 00:10:00,893 The words spoken are often meaningless. 154 00:10:02,770 --> 00:10:03,937 Teyla. 155 00:10:07,608 --> 00:10:09,610 Do you want me to... 156 00:10:09,735 --> 00:10:12,196 Go. Gather our things. I will meet you at the gate. 157 00:10:17,951 --> 00:10:19,787 It was a mistake to force hendon's hand. 158 00:10:19,870 --> 00:10:21,455 You'll only pay for it next time. 159 00:10:21,538 --> 00:10:22,873 I know. 160 00:10:23,707 --> 00:10:26,335 Your friend is not athosian? No. 161 00:10:26,502 --> 00:10:29,838 Ronon is the only survivor of a world known as sateda. 162 00:10:29,922 --> 00:10:31,465 He saved the life of a friend of mine. 163 00:10:31,548 --> 00:10:33,717 In return, we offered him sanctuary. 164 00:10:33,801 --> 00:10:34,968 If sateda is his homeworld, 165 00:10:35,052 --> 00:10:36,804 then he is not the only survivor. 166 00:10:38,222 --> 00:10:39,473 There is a man in this village 167 00:10:39,556 --> 00:10:41,475 who also claims to be from there. 168 00:10:48,982 --> 00:10:50,484 What have we got, sergeant? 169 00:10:50,567 --> 00:10:52,611 It's colonel Sheppard, ma'am. 170 00:10:52,694 --> 00:10:54,404 This is Weir. Go ahead, colonel. 171 00:10:55,781 --> 00:10:58,242 Sheppard: We're on our way back. Rodney wants to fill you in. 172 00:10:59,284 --> 00:11:01,411 I take it you found something interesting. 173 00:11:01,495 --> 00:11:04,832 Interesting? How about the greatest discovery of all time? 174 00:11:04,915 --> 00:11:06,500 He's pretty excited. 175 00:11:07,376 --> 00:11:10,128 So I hear. He couldn't even wait till you got back. 176 00:11:10,212 --> 00:11:12,649 I wanted to send an encoded data burst directly from the outpost 177 00:11:12,673 --> 00:11:15,425 to the secure network in my lab while the gate was active. 178 00:11:17,219 --> 00:11:18,303 Now. 179 00:11:19,263 --> 00:11:22,933 Receiving transmission. Transferring data. 180 00:11:28,021 --> 00:11:30,607 Care to fill me in, so I can be excited, too? 181 00:11:31,233 --> 00:11:33,861 It's a weapon... it is much, much more than a weapon. 182 00:11:33,944 --> 00:11:35,237 We think we've stumbled across 183 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,239 the ancients' last great discovery. 184 00:11:37,322 --> 00:11:38,508 It was too late to win the war for them, 185 00:11:38,532 --> 00:11:41,252 but I think if I can finish the work they started then... what is it? 186 00:11:41,368 --> 00:11:43,829 It is the ultimate power source. 187 00:11:43,912 --> 00:11:45,431 Something that would make zero point modules 188 00:11:45,455 --> 00:11:48,417 seem like alkaline batteries in comparison. 189 00:11:58,302 --> 00:12:00,721 It was called project arcturus. And from what we can tell, 190 00:12:00,804 --> 00:12:04,683 its ultimate goal was to render zpms obsolete. 191 00:12:05,058 --> 00:12:06,184 How? 192 00:12:08,145 --> 00:12:11,398 A zero point module is an artificially-created region of subspace-time. 193 00:12:11,481 --> 00:12:14,234 It's kind of like a miniature universe in a bottle. 194 00:12:14,318 --> 00:12:17,571 It... it extracts vacuum energy from this artificial region of subspace-time 195 00:12:17,654 --> 00:12:19,239 until it reaches maximum entropy. 196 00:12:19,323 --> 00:12:20,949 So what's different about this thing? 197 00:12:21,033 --> 00:12:23,911 Project arcturus was attempting to extract vacuum energy 198 00:12:23,994 --> 00:12:25,746 from our own space-time, 199 00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:29,750 making it potentially as powerful as the scope of the universe itself. 200 00:12:29,833 --> 00:12:33,503 It strikes me as something the ancients would've tried first, even before zpms. 201 00:12:33,587 --> 00:12:35,672 And they may have. But extracting zero-point energy 202 00:12:35,756 --> 00:12:38,800 from our own universe is... Well, it's definitely trickier. 203 00:12:39,343 --> 00:12:40,344 Explain "trickier." 204 00:12:40,427 --> 00:12:42,930 Vveh, because we actually have to live in our own universe, 205 00:12:43,013 --> 00:12:45,098 it presents a whole range of problems. 206 00:12:45,182 --> 00:12:46,600 Well, obviously it's not that easy 207 00:12:46,683 --> 00:12:48,936 or Atlantis wouldn't still rely on zpms. 208 00:12:49,019 --> 00:12:50,270 Well, you're right. 209 00:12:50,354 --> 00:12:52,105 The ancients couldn't make it work. 210 00:12:52,189 --> 00:12:53,625 I said I wanted to do all the talking. 211 00:12:53,649 --> 00:12:55,525 Come on, Rodney, arcturus was a total failure. 212 00:12:55,609 --> 00:12:57,819 Failure, yes. Total, no. 213 00:12:57,903 --> 00:13:00,143 Look, the ancients were losing the war against the wraith 214 00:13:00,197 --> 00:13:01,323 when work on arcturus began. 215 00:13:01,406 --> 00:13:02,606 If they could've made it work, 216 00:13:02,658 --> 00:13:03,968 it could have turned the tide of war. 217 00:13:03,992 --> 00:13:06,328 I mean, we're talking about their own Manhattan project. 218 00:13:06,411 --> 00:13:08,389 Sheppard: The outpost was ordered by the ancients in Atlantis 219 00:13:08,413 --> 00:13:10,582 to defend the dorandan people using their weapons 220 00:13:10,666 --> 00:13:12,292 powered by this new power source. 221 00:13:12,376 --> 00:13:14,461 Yes, but despite their strong reservations 222 00:13:14,544 --> 00:13:17,673 that it was not ready to be tested under battle conditions. 223 00:13:17,756 --> 00:13:19,174 The point is, the wraith won. 224 00:13:19,257 --> 00:13:21,635 Yeah, but the dorandans still inflicted massive damage 225 00:13:21,718 --> 00:13:22,928 on the attacking wraith eret. 226 00:13:23,011 --> 00:13:24,697 I'm not saying they didn't put up a hell of a fight. 227 00:13:24,721 --> 00:13:27,641 The logs indicate there was a major malfunction. 228 00:13:27,724 --> 00:13:30,620 Well, yes, the ancients in the bunker were forced to shut everything down, 229 00:13:30,644 --> 00:13:32,288 including the weapon. The wraith sent more ships. 230 00:13:32,312 --> 00:13:34,022 The dorandans got wiped out. 231 00:13:34,106 --> 00:13:36,066 So if the malfunction hadn't occurred, 232 00:13:36,149 --> 00:13:37,985 the ancients would've saved the planet? 233 00:13:38,068 --> 00:13:39,361 Definitely. Possibly. 234 00:13:39,444 --> 00:13:41,488 Don't sugarcoat this, Rodney. 235 00:13:41,571 --> 00:13:44,616 The ancient scientists running arcturus were rushed into testing 236 00:13:44,700 --> 00:13:47,995 before they had perfected a means of effectively controlling the power output. 237 00:13:48,078 --> 00:13:49,371 Ibeheve if they'd had more time, 238 00:13:49,454 --> 00:13:51,614 history would've played out differently on that planet. 239 00:13:51,665 --> 00:13:53,917 Possibly in this galaxy. 240 00:13:54,001 --> 00:13:55,585 I won't deny that this is something 241 00:13:55,669 --> 00:13:57,337 that we'd dearly love to get our hands on, 242 00:13:57,421 --> 00:13:59,631 but the ancients were a pretty bright bunch. 243 00:13:59,756 --> 00:14:03,135 And desperate. And losing a war they'd already been fighting for 100 years. 244 00:14:03,218 --> 00:14:06,096 More importantly, they were... They were like this close. 245 00:14:08,765 --> 00:14:10,517 And you believe you can finish their work? 246 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:11,601 I do. 247 00:14:12,769 --> 00:14:13,937 We do. 248 00:14:14,855 --> 00:14:16,231 They do. 249 00:14:22,946 --> 00:14:25,323 All right, I need everyone's attention, please. 250 00:14:25,407 --> 00:14:27,034 What we've got here is a transmitter... 251 00:14:27,117 --> 00:14:30,787 I need this code divided up into sections and each one double-checked. 252 00:14:30,871 --> 00:14:32,622 No, you're not listening to me! 253 00:14:32,706 --> 00:14:34,583 I'm telling you this one right here is wrong! 254 00:14:34,666 --> 00:14:35,709 It's not going to... 255 00:14:35,792 --> 00:14:38,730 Look, the whole point here is that these numbers here need to be corrected. 256 00:14:38,754 --> 00:14:41,194 Unless they're corrected...
