Woman: Affirmative. Shields are up. 264 00:15:30,430 --> 00:15:34,601 Okay, I've got a visual. Looks like a satellite of some sort. 265 00:15:44,778 --> 00:15:46,154 It's a Stargate. 266 00:15:46,655 --> 00:15:49,074 Stargate? Ellis: That's right. 267 00:15:49,825 --> 00:15:51,785 I thought you said it was a satellite. 268 00:15:51,868 --> 00:15:53,495 It's both. It's a satellite, 269 00:15:53,578 --> 00:15:55,956 but in the middle, there's a Stargate. 270 00:15:56,832 --> 00:15:58,208 What could be the purpose of that? 271 00:15:58,291 --> 00:15:59,376 Noidea. 272 00:16:03,088 --> 00:16:05,382 It just activated.

You're slipping, buddy. 298 00:17:38,058 --> 00:17:40,685 The satellite is basically just a stripped-down ship. 299 00:17:40,769 --> 00:17:41,829 There's a hyperdrive engine, 300 00:17:41,853 --> 00:17:43,396 a shield and navigational systems. 301 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,720 There's a small power source that was designed to take it 302 00:17:45,774 --> 00:17:48,944 to its intended target and power the shield until the gate can be dialed, 303 00:17:49,027 --> 00:17:50,695 but once a wormhole has been established, 304 00:17:50,779 --> 00:17:52,072 whoever is on the dialing side 305 00:17:52,155 --> 00:17:53,740 fires a beam into their Stargate, 306 00:17:53,823 --> 00:17:55,116 and it comes out on our side, 307 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,911 allowing them to fire on us and to power the satellite. 308 00:17:57,994 --> 00:17:59,829 It's very clever. McKay: Yes. 309 00:17:59,913 --> 00:18:02,415 As long as they can keep the beam powered from home, 310 00:18:02,499 --> 00:18:03,917 the weapon remains operational. 311 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,212 Oh, and one fun added side bonus is that because their Stargate 312 00:18:07,295 --> 00:18:09,297 is in such close proximity to our planet, 313 00:18:09,381 --> 00:18:11,466 we can't dial our Stargate. We're stuck. 314 00:18:11,549 --> 00:18:13,593 Maybe that's a good thing. 315 00:18:13,677 --> 00:18:17,013 The beam will turn off at the end of the gate's 38-minute cycle. 316 00:18:17,097 --> 00:18:20,767 If we dial our gate at that precise moment, we can neutralize theirs. 317 00:18:20,850 --> 00:18:24,396 And if it's not pulling power from the beam anymore, 318 00:18:24,479 --> 00:18:26,606 then we can collapse its shield and destroy it. 319 00:18:26,690 --> 00:18:30,110 Sure. The problem is, I don't think it's gonna shut down in 38 minutes. 320 00:18:30,193 --> 00:18:33,405 I thought it was physically impossible for an artificial wormhole 321 00:18:33,488 --> 00:18:34,698 to stay open any longer. 322 00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:36,616 There is one exception to that rule. 323 00:18:36,700 --> 00:18:38,451 The sgc has encountered attacks of this kind 324 00:18:38,535 --> 00:18:39,786 on their own Stargate, 325 00:18:39,869 --> 00:18:43,081 and sadly, we've discovered that if you pump enough energy into it, 326 00:18:43,164 --> 00:18:45,125 a Stargate can remain active indefinitely. 327 00:18:45,208 --> 00:18:48,003 That would require an insane amount of power, wouldn't it? 328 00:18:48,086 --> 00:18:51,131 Like a black hole or an unlimited number of zpms. 329 00:18:51,214 --> 00:18:53,758 So we can assume the replicators are behind this. 330 00:18:53,842 --> 00:18:55,719 I hope so. You hope so? 331 00:18:55,802 --> 00:18:58,513 Otherwise, we've discovered yet another super-powerful enemy. 332 00:18:58,596 --> 00:18:59,806 If it is a normal Stargate, 333 00:18:59,889 --> 00:19:01,641 can we still contact the dialing planet? 334 00:19:01,725 --> 00:19:03,411 Well, I'll need to boost the signal considerably 335 00:19:03,435 --> 00:19:06,021 to get through the interference, but yes. 336 00:19:06,104 --> 00:19:08,189 See what you can do, please.

What? 555 00:30:35,584 --> 00:30:37,128 The drilling platform. 556 00:30:37,211 --> 00:30:39,130 You guys have it operational down there, right? 557 00:30:39,213 --> 00:30:41,424 It's close enough, but we couldn't bring it with us. 558 00:30:41,507 --> 00:30:44,260 Bring it where? We don't need to. We just need a boost. 559 00:30:44,343 --> 00:30:45,553 You're on to something here. 560 00:30:45,636 --> 00:30:47,722 Hey! What's your idea? Hey! 561 00:30:51,017 --> 00:30:53,686 Coleman: Well, luckily, the umbilical is already in place. 562 00:30:53,769 --> 00:30:54,770 Mcka y: Yes, lknow. 563 00:30:54,854 --> 00:30:57,606 Look, are you capable of outputting the power we need or not? 564 00:30:57,690 --> 00:30:59,358 We just started drilling into the crust. 565 00:30:59,442 --> 00:31:01,162 I can get you nine percent of the way there. 566 00:31:01,235 --> 00:31:04,530 There goes that plan. Can't the zpm make up the difference? 567 00:31:04,613 --> 00:31:08,117 No, the zpm is a little busy powering the shield at Max. 568 00:31:09,785 --> 00:31:12,288 What if it didn't have to? What? 569 00:31:12,371 --> 00:31:16,125 What if we could take the strain off the shield momentarily? 570 00:31:16,459 --> 00:31:19,962 Well, we'd need about a minute. Why? What do you have in mind? 571 00:31:20,046 --> 00:31:22,631 Lantea's moon has some sizable satellites itself. 572 00:31:22,715 --> 00:31:25,110 Asteroid-like chunks we think are left over from a second moon 573 00:31:25,134 --> 00:31:26,385 that no longer exists. 574 00:31:26,469 --> 00:31:30,389 I'd like you to beam up lorne and get a flight of f-302s close enough 575 00:31:30,473 --> 00:31:31,766 to nudge one our way. 576 00:31:31,849 --> 00:31:34,643 You want to bring an asteroid towards us. 577 00:31:35,227 --> 00:31:37,646 Is that wise? Well, today, it is. 578 00:31:46,405 --> 00:31:50,076 Lorne: All right, guys, we need to get close enough to clamp onto it. 579 00:31:50,159 --> 00:31:54,747 Get enough of us drilled in, we can fly it like a ship, a very slow ship. 580 00:31:54,830 --> 00:31:57,083 It's probably gonna be a real pain in the ass to steer. 581 00:31:57,166 --> 00:31:58,375 But a ship nonetheless. 582 00:32:10,971 --> 00:32:15,101 Okay, let's take this big gal for a stroll. 583 00:32:15,184 --> 00:32:17,728 Flights three and four, begin your burn. Full thrust. 584 00:32:29,657 --> 00:32:33,452 Son of a bitch. We might be able to pull this off, after all. 585 00:32:33,536 --> 00:32:35,663 Flights one and two, begin your burn. 586 00:32:35,913 --> 00:32:37,790 Weir: It's working? McKay: It's slow going, 587 00:32:37,873 --> 00:32:39,793 but, yes, they're bringing it towards the planet. 588 00:32:39,834 --> 00:32:42,962 Sheppard: It should be able to get here before our cut-off time. 589 00:32:43,045 --> 00:32:44,713 Weir: So we can actually do this? 590 00:32:44,797 --> 00:32:46,549 I think so. Yes. 591 00:32:48,509 --> 00:32:51,929 Okay, time to tell people. Patch me into the pa, please. 592 00:32:54,974 --> 00:32:57,059 May I have your attention? 593 00:32:57,518 --> 00:33:01,397 As you all know, we have found ourselves in a spot of trouble. 594 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,317 The reality is that no matter where we try to hide on this planet, 595 00:33:05,401 --> 00:33:08,571 the replicator satellite will be able to track us. 596 00:33:08,946 --> 00:33:12,616 Therefore, Dr. McKay and colonel Sheppard have come up 597 00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:14,827 with a rather ingenious way for us to escape 598 00:33:14,910 --> 00:33:17,079 the satellite's range altogether. 599 00:33:18,247 --> 00:33:23,460 In the next few hours, we will fire the city's star drive and head into space. 600 00:33:24,295 --> 00:33:26,630 Atlantis is leaving this planet. 601 00:33:37,433 --> 00:33:39,476 May I come in? Of course. 602 00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:43,355 All nonessential personnel have been beamed to the Apollo. 603 00:33:43,439 --> 00:33:45,191 Good. Good. 604 00:33:45,274 --> 00:33:47,610 Has Dr. McKay located your new home yet? 605 00:33:47,693 --> 00:33:49,695 Yes. M12-578. 606 00:33:49,778 --> 00:33:53,365 It's the closest non-populated inhabitable planet with a large ocean. 607 00:33:53,449 --> 00:33:55,826 He's a bit nervous about trying to land on solid ground. 608 00:33:55,910 --> 00:33:57,786 I can understand that. 609 00:34:01,248 --> 00:34:03,292 Listen, I know you don't like me very much... 610 00:34:03,375 --> 00:34:05,044 Colonel, that's not... It's okay. 611 00:34:05,127 --> 00:34:07,963 To be honest, I'm not that crazy about you, ehher 612 00:34:10,257 --> 00:34:11,383 okay. 613 00:34:11,842 --> 00:34:14,720 But if I've crossed a line here or there 614 00:34:14,803 --> 00:34:17,181 in regards to your command, I apologize. 615 00:34:17,264 --> 00:34:19,433 I'm used to making the calls. 616 00:34:20,142 --> 00:34:23,312 But I don't want you to think I don't respect you. I do, doctor. 617 00:34:23,395 --> 00:34:25,856 Thank you. I appreciate that. 618 00:34:27,191 --> 00:34:30,402 I wish the rest of the military felt the same way. 619 00:34:30,486 --> 00:34:32,780 Well, I can't speak to that. 620 00:34:32,863 --> 00:34:36,075 I do know general O'Neill is awfully fond of you. 621 00:34:38,911 --> 00:34:42,915 I better be heading out. Good luck. 622 00:34:43,832 --> 00:34:46,168 Thanks. We're gonna need it. 623 00:34:54,677 --> 00:34:57,739 McKay: All right, Zelenka is doing a final pass over all the coding we've done, 624 00:34:57,763 --> 00:34:59,932 but so far, it's looking good. 625 00:35:00,015 --> 00:35:02,518 The underwater drilling platform's power output 626 00:35:02,601 --> 00:35:04,144 is being dialed up as high as it'll go, 627 00:35:04,228 --> 00:35:06,897 and the crew down there have been beamed up to the Apollo. 628 00:35:06,981 --> 00:35:08,667 Sheppard: We're gonna wreck that thing, aren't we? 629 00:35:08,691 --> 00:35:10,943 McKay: What, the drilling platform? Oh, hell, yes. 630 00:35:11,026 --> 00:35:14,863 But 30% of our total power requirements are gonna be consumed 631 00:35:14,947 --> 00:35:16,824 in the first 10 seconds of flight. 632 00:35:16,907 --> 00:35:18,784 The station will provide us with that power 633 00:35:18,867 --> 00:35:20,619 right up until we snap the umbilical, 634 00:35:20,703 --> 00:35:22,997 at which point we switch over to the zpm. 635 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,917 Now, if we can interrupt the satellite's beam, 636 00:35:27,001 --> 00:35:29,128 which is greatly taxing our power levels, 637 00:35:29,211 --> 00:35:31,505 we should be able to squeeze out just enough power 638 00:35:31,588 --> 00:35:34,842 to actually do this thing. How's lorne doing? 639 00:35:34,925 --> 00:35:38,387 He's making good time. He should be here in the next 20 minutes. 640 00:35:40,264 --> 00:35:42,182 I guess it's showtime. 641 00:35:42,891 --> 00:35:45,936 Are you sure you can do this? Fly the city? 642 00:35:46,437 --> 00:35:48,814 What else could I possibly be talking about? 643 00:35:48,897 --> 00:35:51,817 I flew a v-22 osprey once. 644 00:35:51,900 --> 00:35:53,319 Was it as big as a city? 645 00:35:53,402 --> 00:35:55,422 Well, you had to use your hands and feet with that one. 646 00:35:55,446 --> 00:35:58,866 This one, you just have to sit down and think, "fly." 647 00:35:58,949 --> 00:36:02,578 Okay, why don't you just get in the chair and start your preflight? 648 00:36:06,999 --> 00:36:09,418 Oh, I'm going to head up to the control room, 649 00:36:09,501 --> 00:36:12,713 and Zelenka will monitor power output from the zpm room. 650 00:36:12,796 --> 00:36:16,633 And good luck. 651 00:36:16,717 --> 00:36:17,926 You, too. 652 00:36:25,809 --> 00:36:28,145 Lorne: Dr. McKay, can you read me? 653 00:36:28,228 --> 00:36:30,105 Five by five. Lorne, are you in position? 654 00:36:30,189 --> 00:36:32,649 Lorne: We're getting close. You about ready? 655 00:36:32,775 --> 00:36:35,235 Zelenka, I need a go or no-go. Zelenka.' We 're go. 656 00:36:35,319 --> 00:36:37,589 All nonessential systems have been shut down. We're in the green. 657 00:36:37,613 --> 00:36:40,574 Are you ready, Sheppard? Ready as I'll ever be. 658 00:36:40,657 --> 00:36:43,369 Okay, major, make sure she's moving as slow as possible. 659 00:36:43,452 --> 00:36:46,038 Are you sure we shouldn't just lob this thing at the satellite? 660 00:36:46,121 --> 00:36:47,932 No, it needs to be able to navigate back into position. 661 00:36:47,956 --> 00:36:50,292 This is still our best bet. Lorne: Copy that. 662 00:36:59,593 --> 00:37:02,054 Package is away and on course. 663 00:37:02,137 --> 00:37:06,016 We're heading back to the Apollo. Good luck. 664 00:37:07,226 --> 00:37:10,604 Okay, calculating travel time based on current speed. 665 00:37:11,313 --> 00:37:13,190 That's it. We're good. 666 00:37:15,526 --> 00:37:17,194 Here goes nothing. 667 00:37:45,556 --> 00:37:47,141 Asteroid is entering the beam. 668 00:38:13,083 --> 00:38:15,878 Mcka y: We 're on the surface. Fire the star drive. 669 00:38:30,642 --> 00:38:33,729 We're not flying high enough. It's stalling out. 670 00:38:35,647 --> 00:38:37,149 It's not working. 671 00:38:37,232 --> 00:38:39,359 What are you doing wrong? Sheppard: Sure, blame me. 672 00:38:39,443 --> 00:38:41,445 We don't have enough power. 673 00:38:41,528 --> 00:38:42,946 Oh, sure, blame me. 674 00:38:43,030 --> 00:38:46,325 It's not working. What other reasons could there be? 675 00:38:46,408 --> 00:38:48,327 I have no more power to give you. 676 00:38:48,410 --> 00:38:50,329 Weir: Shut it off. What? 677 00:38:50,412 --> 00:38:52,998 Lower the shield. We're about to go into space. 678 00:38:53,081 --> 00:38:55,201 If you plan on breathing, we're gonna need the shield. 679 00:38:55,584 --> 00:38:57,544 Turn it back on at 18,000 feet. 680 00:38:57,628 --> 00:39:00,422 We just need a boost to get started. No? 681 00:39:00,506 --> 00:39:01,924 That might work. 682 00:39:11,433 --> 00:39:13,894 Mcka y: Okay, I did it. Give it all you've got. 683 00:39:30,827 --> 00:39:34,289 That's it. We're flying. 684 00:39:55,978 --> 00:39:58,063 That's it. Time's up. Raising the shield. 685 00:40:22,671 --> 00:40:24,840 I'm taking us into hyperspace. 686 00:40:35,851 --> 00:40:37,269 We did it. 687 00:40:40,856 --> 00:40:42,524 McKay! Elizabeth! 688 00:40:42,608 --> 00:40:46,695 Mcka y: I need a medical team to the control room stat! Multiple injuries! 689 00:41:03,629 --> 00:41:05,130 Keller, what happened? 690 00:41:05,213 --> 00:41:07,507 Apparently, the beam grazed the tower and blew out the... 691 00:41:07,591 --> 00:41:09,217 Adams, that guy just has a cut. 692 00:41:09,301 --> 00:41:10,862 Tell him to put pressure on it, and move on. 693 00:41:10,886 --> 00:41:12,566 There's a lot of people worse off upstairs. 694 00:41:12,596 --> 00:41:15,474 Elizabeth? Is she gonna be okay? I don't know yet. 695 00:41:15,557 --> 00:41:17,368 She took quite a fall, and her pupils are sluggish. 696 00:41:17,392 --> 00:41:21,021 I'm gonna have to get her under a scanner. I'll know more in a bit. 697 00:41:28,070 --> 00:41:30,447 Oh, god, are you all right? 698 00:41:30,572 --> 00:41:33,325 Yeah, I've had worse. How come no one is helping you? 699 00:41:33,408 --> 00:41:35,720 I told them I didn't need any help. Other people need more. 700 00:41:35,744 --> 00:41:37,913 I doubt that. Get this man to the infirmary. 701 00:41:37,996 --> 00:41:39,373 Adams: Yes, sir. 702 00:41:39,748 --> 00:41:42,626 You guys all right? All things considered... 703 00:41:43,377 --> 00:41:44,503 What happened? 704 00:41:44,586 --> 00:41:45,730 Beam grazed the side of the tower 705 00:41:45,754 --> 00:41:47,506 before the shield was completely closed. 706 00:41:47,589 --> 00:41:50,092 Damage? Minimal, I think. 707 00:41:50,175 --> 00:41:51,986 I was able to get the shield up fairly quickly. 708 00:41:52,010 --> 00:41:53,210 It took the brunt of the blow. 709 00:41:54,304 --> 00:41:55,514 Oh, what now? 710 00:41:56,807 --> 00:41:57,808 What is happening? 711 00:42:01,228 --> 00:42:02,854 We just dropped out of hyperspace. 712 00:42:02,938 --> 00:42:05,190 Have we already reached m12-578? 713 00:42:05,273 --> 00:42:07,984 No, there's no way. It should have taken at least another few hours. 714 00:42:08,068 --> 00:42:09,861 The hyperdrive just shut down. Why? 715 00:42:09,945 --> 00:42:11,488 McKay: I don't know. Get it back up. 716 00:42:11,571 --> 00:42:13,073 I just said I don't know what's wrong. 717 00:42:13,156 --> 00:42:15,701 I can't get it back up if I don't know what happened. 718 00:42:15,784 --> 00:42:17,828 Where are we? McKay: The middle of nowhere. 719 00:42:17,911 --> 00:42:20,622 There's no planets, no moons, no Stargates. 720 00:42:20,706 --> 00:42:22,708 How much power do we have? 721 00:42:25,001 --> 00:42:27,379 This can't be right. How much? 722 00:42:28,547 --> 00:42:31,758 At current consumption, we've got 24 hours of power left. 723 00:42:31,842 --> 00:42:33,736 After that, there's no shield. No shield, no atmosphere. 724 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,346 No atmosphere, no... Can we use the Stargate? 725 00:42:36,430 --> 00:42:39,117 In order to dial a gate, it needs to be calibrated to a specific location. 726 00:42:39,141 --> 00:42:41,768 We are lost. We dropped out of hyperspace way too soon. 727 00:42:41,852 --> 00:42:43,979 I have no idea where we are. 728 00:43:32,486 --> 00:43:33,487 English - us - psdh
