This is going to happen soon? 586 00:32:26,362 --> 00:32:27,613 Not soon. 587 00:32:27,863 --> 00:32:29,198 It's happening right now. 588 00:32:42,002 --> 00:32:43,629 How are you doin'? 589 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,215 I have felt better. 590 00:32:47,133 --> 00:32:49,093 You need any more pain medicine? 591 00:32:51,804 --> 00:32:53,681 It does not seem to help anymore. 592 00:32:54,390 --> 00:32:56,976 Well, just hang on.

I used to raise them before coming here. 625 00:34:21,185 --> 00:34:24,230 We used to consult solar charts before our pigeon races. 626 00:34:24,313 --> 00:34:26,148 Pigeon races? Rodney. 627 00:34:26,774 --> 00:34:28,168 Well, it's still somewhat of a mystery 628 00:34:28,192 --> 00:34:29,544 how they're able to sense this trouble, 629 00:34:29,568 --> 00:34:31,237 but they do, often well before we do. 630 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:32,560 Whatever. What are our options? 631 00:34:32,613 --> 00:34:35,258 Well, the ancients were able to raise the shield and stretch it wide enough 632 00:34:35,282 --> 00:34:37,368 to protect a significant portion of the planet, 633 00:34:37,451 --> 00:34:39,054 attenuated, to be sure, more of a thin bubble, 634 00:34:39,078 --> 00:34:41,580 but it was able to block out enough of the radiation. 635 00:34:41,664 --> 00:34:43,975 That's interesting, because we have found evidence of mass extinction 636 00:34:43,999 --> 00:34:45,251 on other parts of the planet. 637 00:34:45,334 --> 00:34:47,336 Wow! Well, now we know what caused it. 638 00:34:47,419 --> 00:34:50,464 Okay, so our shield is already activated. What else? 639 00:34:50,547 --> 00:34:51,674 Small problem. 640 00:34:51,757 --> 00:34:53,926 The ancients had three zpms at their disposal. 641 00:34:54,009 --> 00:34:56,595 We, as you know, only have one. 642 00:34:57,096 --> 00:34:58,490 Maybe I was so insistent on keeping them, 643 00:34:58,514 --> 00:35:01,725 because I, too, am able to sense trouble on the horizon. 644 00:35:01,892 --> 00:35:03,060 Just like a pigeon. 645 00:35:03,143 --> 00:35:06,438 So we just need to get the other two zpms back here temporarily... 646 00:35:06,522 --> 00:35:08,500 Not enough time. Look, the odyssey's away from earth. 647 00:35:08,524 --> 00:35:09,751 In the time it would take them to return, 648 00:35:09,775 --> 00:35:11,503 the blast would have almost certainly have hit us. 649 00:35:11,527 --> 00:35:13,654 How far can we extend the shield with one zpm? 650 00:35:13,737 --> 00:35:15,489 Well, enough to cover the city 651 00:35:15,572 --> 00:35:17,676 and perhaps a little bit of the ocean surrounding it, but... 652 00:35:17,700 --> 00:35:19,052 We should evacuate just to make sure. 653 00:35:19,076 --> 00:35:20,369 We can't gate to earth. 654 00:35:20,452 --> 00:35:22,830 Look, we need the zpm's power for the shields. 655 00:35:22,913 --> 00:35:24,313 What about the intergalactic bridge? 656 00:35:24,373 --> 00:35:25,684 The midway station isn't completed yet. 657 00:35:25,708 --> 00:35:28,210 We'd need to ferry people by jumper. Again, no time. 658 00:35:29,003 --> 00:35:30,647 All right, we'll send everyone to the Alpha site 659 00:35:30,671 --> 00:35:31,898 and pick them up when this is over. 660 00:35:31,922 --> 00:35:33,882 I don't think you understand. 661 00:35:33,966 --> 00:35:37,344 Look, the shield will protect the city from the initial blast, yes, 662 00:35:37,428 --> 00:35:39,221 but the entire ecosystem of this planet 663 00:35:39,305 --> 00:35:42,516 will be damaged beyond recovery for hundreds of years. 664 00:35:42,641 --> 00:35:46,103 Look, we're talking no plant life, which means no breathable air... 665 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:57,948 Sheppard: Beckett. 666 00:35:58,324 --> 00:35:59,616 Elizabeth? 667 00:36:01,535 --> 00:36:02,745 Damn it. 668 00:36:11,045 --> 00:36:13,589 Sergeant bell developed an aneurysm from the pressure. 669 00:36:13,672 --> 00:36:15,215 First fatality. 670 00:36:22,264 --> 00:36:24,808 How is she?
