Previously on Stargate Atlantis:

We had hoped to test our first
atomic weapon five years from now.

Do we have that much time?
No.

McKAY: Long-term exposure to these
levels of radiation is dangerous.

Our scientists tell me otherwise.

How many of these ships
do you have?

Just the one.

Commander Acastus Kolya.
We are in control of Atlantis.

Sheppard has disabled
another generator.

Yes, Ladon, I'm aware of that.

Reinforcements
are arriving now, commander.

We have serious flooding
in the north and west piers.

It's no use. The city conduit
can't handle this raw power.

I know where
we can get another nuke.

I don't know how sympathetic
the Genii will be.

You heard our message.
The Wraith are at our doorstep.

We have an opportunity
for you to test your weapon.

This is Weir, we got the prototypes.

How much further?
It's just around this next corner.

When was the last time
you had any contact with them?

They came under fire
about half an hour ago.

The major told me to head
to the gate and radio for backup.

I haven't heard from them since.
You didn't head back to help?

Major Lorne told me
to stay by the gate.

You did the right thing.

LINDSAY:
Oh, my God.

Is that the building
you were in?

Why didn't the villagers
put out the fire?

The fire's out.
That's just steam and smoke.

Let's take a look.
Stay here with Lindsay.

Right, sure. And if you hear gunfire,
just know that that's me

holding back our attackers
all on my own, huh?

Fire like this would have burned the whole
village if someone had not dealt with it.

Somebody put it out. They just don't
wanna stick around to talk about it.

It's not safe to be up here.
Thanks for that.

I got something.

Damn it.
What?

Dog tags.

These are Lorne's.

What the hell happened out there?
As you know, Lorne and his team

have the weekly detail
escorting Dr. Lindsay to 177.

The one educating the people on more
effective agriculture and fishing?

Yeah, that's right. Things were going
smoothly until our guys were attacked.

Just like that, out of the blue?
It seems that way.

By who, the villagers?
I don't know.

Lindsay's not a real useful source
of information. She's a little shook up.

Beckett gave her a sedative. Hopefully
she'll be able to give us more info later.

Unscheduled off-world activation.

What have you got?
No IDC.

But we are receiving a weak
transmission on the VHF band.

Audio and video.
Let's see it.

Atlantis base, this is Ladon Radim.
Are you receiving transmission?

One of Kolya's men.
Yeah, I know who he is.

We can't answer this, though.

I need the Genii of all people to
believe Atlantis has been destroyed.

We got the word out.

My men have witnessed your teams
dialling and returning

through the stargate to Atlantis
more than once.

From that, I can deduce
the rumours of your city's demise

are greatly exaggerated.

Sneaky, I'll give him that.
Your secret is safe.

As long as you respond
to this transmission.

Open a channel.

Atlantis base, this is Ladon Radim.
We hear you. This is Weir.

Dr. Weir.

I was beginning to fear the rumours
of your destruction were true.

What do you want?
I have something to trade.

Don't think I don't
recognize you, Ladon.

You're a member
of Kolya's strike force.

You tried to forcibly
take this city from us.

Why would we wanna
do business with you?

Because I have defected
from the Genii.

Well, good luck with that.

And I have a Zero-Point Module.

And I have a tentative truce
with the Genii

that I'm not very eager
to jeopardize.

The Genii got what they wanted.

They want no more from you.

And this is of no use to me.

But I know how important these
devices are to your continued survival.

We can discuss this in person.

Lower your shields and allow me
safe passage into the city.

We're not interested, Ladon.

This is far, far better than the last
trade you made with the Genii, doctor,

and you know it.

I'm transmitting the gate address
to the planet I'm on.

You can send a team to search me
if you wish,

but I'm unarmed and alone.
I'll be here for two hours.

If I don't hear from you, this Zero-Point
Module will be lost to you forever.

The choice is yours.

A ZPM is a ZPM.
Who cares where it comes from?

We've already got one.
Yes, one.

Two is better than one.
McKAY: And three is better than two.

We know eventually the Wraith
will discover we're still here.

Having more power
means having more options.

We might be able to light up
the engines, get the city to fly.

Really?
No, but we still need it.

Well, flying city or not,
I think we should consider this.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you
the one the Genii threatened to kill?

He's alone
and willing to be searched.

Wait, we should be
dealing with Lorne and his team.

Find out what happened to them.

Teyla and Ronon will continue
with that investigation.

You can join them
once you finish up with this.

All right. Get a MALP ready
with a life-signs detector.

I'm not sending my team
in there blind.

We're getting telemetry back
from the MALP.

Only reading one life sign.

Then so far he's telling the truth.
So far.

As I'm sure your machine has already
determined, I am unarmed and alone.

You can go ahead
and send your team to search me.

Go ahead.
Yes, sir.

They're peaceful people.
They really are.

I can't imagine the villagers
doing something like this.

Tell us what happened.

We were invited into
one of the villagers' homes for tea.

A welcoming custom
we've been through a dozen times.

Dera, one of the villagers,
asked for a word with me in private.

She took me downstairs-
You went alone with her?

They're farmers and fishermen.

I've dealt with them for months.
I trusted them.

That was a mistake.
Ronon.

Go on.

Um, once I was downstairs,
I heard the first shots.

They sounded like Wraith blasts.
Wraith?

I can't be sure,
but, yes, that's what it sounded like.

Major Lorne radioed me from upstairs
and told me to go to the gate

and call for backup.

The rest you know.

Did this Dera try to stop you?

No.

Did she look surprised
when she heard the shots?

I don't remember.
Can you think of any reason

that the people of this village would
want to attack Lorne and his men?

No.

He's clean, sir.

What, no ZPM?

I sent it to another planet
for safekeeping.

How stupid do you think I am?

I remember I gave you a pretty good
crack on the head last time we met.

I was hoping it made you simple.
No, it didn't.

But ever since I've been plagued
with headaches.

You're just saying that to be nice.
What do you want for it?

I'll only talk with Weir.

Do I make you nervous?
Not at all, major.

I'm just not interested in talking
to the errand boy.

That's Lieutenant Colonel
Errand Boy to you.

It's not them.

What do you mean?
These bodies you've found

are not Lorne and his men.

But they were wearing
their dog tags.

I don't know what to tell you.
I've run a DNA test three times now.

Then Lorne and his men
could still be alive.

Aye.

Dr. Lindsay heard Wraith Stunners
before the fire broke out.

But this wasn't
a Wraith attack, so-

So whoever it was
wanted us to think they were dead.

But who? What could
they possibly want with Lorne?

We need to go back
and question the villagers.

Okay, but regular radio contact,
please.

SHEPPARD
Dr. Weir, we have Ladon.

What has he said?

Not much.
Apparently he doesn't like me.

Okay, take him to my office.
Your office? Really?

Really, colonel. I'm on my way.

You two, be careful.

Dr. Weir, thank you for your warm-

What do you want for the ZPM?

You people aren't much for small talk.
Not with criminals, no.

As a member of Kolya's team,
I was following orders.

I harbour no ill will
towards you or your people.

That's nice.

It's the truth.

What do you want for it?

I need about 100 machine guns,

a couple dozen grenades
and any C4 you have to spare.

Sounds like you're having a party.

Explain. How is turning you
into a threat in our best interest?

The real threat are the Genii.

Their nuclear weapons
are fully operational.

And it's my belief that they will
soon begin using them

as a first-strike offensive weapon.

Not just against the Wraith,
but human populations as well.

You give me and my men
the arms we need,

you'll never have to worry
about the Genii again.

You're planning a coup.
Yes, and you're going to help me.

Cowen has led our people
for too long.

It's true, he's made the Genii
a force to be reckoned with.

But the Cowen of the past bears little
resemblance to the Cowen in power now.

How so?

He's obsessed with uniting
the galaxy under a single ruler.

And that would be him?

He thinks it's our only chance
at defeating the Wraith.

Whether the galaxy likes it or not.

Kolya was the only Genii
who could stand up to him,

keep him under control.
He went missing several months ago.

We suspect Cowen had
him murdered.

But you can't prove it?
Not yet.

And in Kolya's absence?

Our people were looking
for leadership. They looked to me.

Get to the part
where you find the ZPM.

Kolya often spoke about
the Brotherhood of the 15.

The last mission
you encountered him, no?

The last time he tried
to kill me, yes.

Finding resources for the resistance
has been next to impossible.

We have a few rifles,
limited ammunition.

Nowhere near enough
to stage a rebellion.

So you thought if you found a ZPM
we'd give you everything you needed.

It's hard to find trading partners
who don't fear the Genii.

Cowen has spies all over
the galaxy.

I figured you'd help if we could
give you something of value.

How do we know you'll be
any better than Cowen?

Look, I know you don't trust me,

but if Cowen uses his new atomic
weapons to enslave other worlds,

then the Genii are no better
than the Wraith.

Now, you can have your ZPM,

but you must help me
stop that from happening.

Never heard of her.

Are you certain?

Dera, she was friends with the men
who were killed last night.

I said, I never heard of her.

This is a small community,
friend. Surely you know her.

She lived in the house
that burned down.

We would just like
to ask her some questions.

I just tend to my bar
and my family

and mind my business,
and I suggest you do the same.

We wanna know why
our friends were killed.

Ronon.

You know something.
Everyone here knows something.

Let him go.

Who you trying to protect?

If you know what's best for you, you'll
both go back from where you came.

They're watching us. They'll
kill us all if you're not careful.

Who?

We can protect you.
Help you fight them.

No, you can't.

Leave me be.

Do you believe him?

Well, he has a ZPM.
I mean, about the other stuff.

Evil Cowen?

He's lying about something.

When Cowen handed over
two of his atomic weapons to us,

it was a sort of olive branch.

And I would hate to jeopardize
what momentum we have going.

Stick with the devil we know.
Exactly.

So we give him the heads up, tell
the Genii he's planning something?

I think so.

I'll tell Ladon we need a bit more
time and to set up a way to contact him.

I left one of our best guys
on the planet when we searched him.

If Ladon goes anywhere,
my guy will find him.

Good thinking.
Could have been Mensa.

I hope Beckett found some sort of clue
because this was a giant waste of time.

Excuse me?

You... You left this behind.

It's not ours.

Yes, it is.

Of course. How foolish of me.
Thank you.

What's inside?
Not here.

I'm not sure you've sufficiently
trained me in actual combat.

I don't know how much use I'd be in
a fight-our-way-out kind of scenario.

Well, I look at it this way:

Genii have tried to kidnap you
on numerous occasions

to mine that big old brain
of yours.

Yes?
Well, if we get into trouble,

I'll just trade your life for mine.
Oh, funny.

Don't worry, if you survive, I'll mount
some sort of rescue mission

eventually.

Dr. McKay.

Oh, and it's Lieutenant Colonel
Sheppard now, I hear.

Somebody's been paying attention.

I'm afraid I don't have much time. But
please, tell me, what can I do for you?

We were just checking in,
saying hi

since we haven't been in contact
since the last culling.

We barely survived the last culling.

I can't help but think how close
to extinction we came as a people.

Our former ambitions have been
tempered by the real world, I'm afraid.

We've been busy trying to fulfil
our people's most basic needs.

You know, we could help with that.

Yeah, with supplies, even manpower.
And why would you do that?

We wouldn't be here if it wasn't
for the nukes you gave us,

so we owe you one.

We are a proud people, Sheppard.

But we do know how to accept help
when we need it.

On that note,

we've been contacted by
a Genii named Ladon.

Ah.

At last, the real reason
why you're here.

What has he been saying?

Oh, it was something about-

Conquest of other worlds,
using your atomic weapons.

He's been telling the Manarians

that I've been slaughtering
our own people for food.

Ladon blames me
for Kolya's disappearance.

And while, yes, it's true I neither
respected nor liked the man,

I had nothing to do
with his presumed demise.

Anything he tells you is a lie.

He's trying to mount a rebellion.
Let him try.

He commands a couple of dozen men
and has no weapons to speak off.

Believe me, the city's plumbing is
of more concern to me right now.

But still, you didn't have to tell me.

Apprising me of Ladon's plans
was the act of a friend.

Well, if you wanna contact us,
we have a new number.

I've known for some time

that Atlantis survived
the Wraith attack, Colonel Sheppard.

I hope you'll accept it
as an act of good faith

that your secret is safe
with the Genii.

My men will see you
to the gate.

That was refreshing.
He didn't try to kill us even once.

My special-ops guy's followed
Ladon to M6R-867.

He's occupied a warehouse
in a bombed-out, abandoned city.

It was destroyed by Wraith
and never reinhabited.

We did a flyover in a cloaked Jumper.
There are about 20 life signs there.

Twenty life signs
on the whole planet.

So Cowen's intel was accurate?
Yeah, it appears that way, yes.

Even if these men are trained
and armed-

Which most probably they are not.

- they're no match for our guys.

A raid?
Hell, yes, a raid.

If this is their base of operations,
I bet the ZPM's there.

And what, just steal it?

The Brotherhood stole it from us,
Ladon stole it from them.

It's not stealing, it's-
Recovery.

We tell Ladon we're ready
to do business.

He needs to send a dozen guys
for supplies.

Along with the ZPM.
He won't do that, but we can ask.

We detain them. We have eight men in
the building for two teams to deal with.

Okay, it's worth the risk.
Go get us a ZPM.

What is it?
I do not know.

These are pictures of some of
the Atlantis off-world team members.

There.
Major Lorne.

Why would the villagers have these?

The writing on the side here
is in different languages,

offering a great reward
for their capture.

I bet they've been circulated
to dozen of planets.

I hope you're wrong.

Off-world activation.

Everybody relax. We don't wanna tip it
before they're all in position.

Dr. Weir?
That's right.

I'm Dahlia Radim.
Radim?

Yes, I am Ladon's sister.
Where are our supplies?

Where is our ZPM?

Ladon will send it once we have
returned to our world safely.

I thought you might say that.

What's going on?

I'm sorry, you're being temporarily
detained.

Colonel?
Go ahead.

You have a go.
Understood.

All right, use non-lethal force
wherever possible.

Men with stunners take the point.
That being said,

if they engage us,
do what you need to do.

Clear.

Start doing a room sweep. You
three, with me. We're finding Ladon.

See how I almost stunned that guy?
I must have missed it.

If he was a step to the right,
I'd have stunned him.

Good for you.

It's this way.

How did it go?
What did we miss?

We have some guests.
Yeah, I can see that.

Dr. Weir, there is something
you need to see.

Let's go to my office.

WEIR: What's all this?
It's a wanted list.

We figure it's on as many worlds
as there are languages on the photos.

Who would do that?
We are not sure.

The planet where Lorne's team
disappeared is quite poor.

It is conceivable they gave up Lorne
and his men for some sort of reward.

To who?
And why aren't we on it?

Excuse me?

Sheppard's on the list.
McKay is on the list.

Why aren't Teyla and me?
You feeling left out?

I wanna know
who thinks I'm not a threat

and give them a chance
to change their mind.

The gene. They all have the gene.

The gene of the Ancestors?
Yes, naturally or not,

all these men possess
the ATA gene.

But why would someone want people

simply because they possess
a certain kind of gene?

Maybe they think it will hurt
our ability to operate the city.

But, Ronon,
that's why you're not here.

See, most of Edison's team
is on the list, except Toreil.

He's the only one on that team
that doesn't have the gene.

It still doesn't make any sense.

I suggest you call these men back
if they are off-world.

Yes. Most of these guys are on
an operation with Sheppard right now.

We are raiding Ladon's warehouse
and stealing back the ZPM.

We detained his team when they came
to pick up the weapons we offered.

Once they get back, I will suspend
all their off-world activity

until we get to the bottom of this.

BECKETT Dr. Weir, please
report to the infirmary.

On my way, Carson.

This is probably about the bodies.
You two should come along.

One tango, middle of the room.

What? Isn't that right?

Colonel Sheppard,
what a surprise.

Drop it.

All right.

Feel safer?
A little bit.

Is that it?
It is.

Slide it over.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
It could be boobytrapped to blow up.

Relax, Sheppard.
I have no interest in killing you.

It's all yours. One ZPM.

One that's probably been out
of power for 1000 years.

Oh, that's gas.

Don't worry.
It's not gonna kill you either.

I think I know who's behind this.
Okay.

Whoever these bodies belong to
didn't die in that fire.

They died before they burned?
From internal bleeding

and breakdown of the bone marrow.
What does that mean?

It means they probably died
of severe radiation poisoning.

Now, from what I know,
there's only one race of people

that could be exposed to enough
radiation to cause this damage.

The Genii.
Aye, exactly.

If the Genii
are behind this-

We need to call back
Sheppard's team.

How do you feel?

Like I've been gassed.

How come it didn't affect you?

I was injected
with what I just gave you.

Where are my men?
They'll wake up in an hour or so

with a pretty big headache,
but they're fine.

Just like you.
I'm a lot of things right now,

and "fine" isn't one of them.

Stumbled across the dead ZPM
in our archives.

An operative found it years ago,
didn't know what it was, filed it away.

I'm sure he had no idea how
valuable it would eventually be.

So that was your plan.

Lure us here, take our weapons,
trade us for some more,

arm your rebellion,
is that about it?

Couldn't be more wrong.

There is no rebellion,
Colonel Sheppard.

Ladon here has only the best
interests of the Genii at heart.

Unscheduled off-world activation.

What have we got?
Not sure yet, ma'am.

We're not reading an IDC.

What the hell is going on here?

I want to talk with Dr. Weir.
The gate has to be active.

It already is.
Oh, well...

COWEN Dr. Weir, this is Commander
Cowen, leader of the Genii.

Where is Colonel Sheppard?
Well, he's right here with me,

along with the men you sent
to storm this complex.

Some would view that
as an act of war.

We were just trying to quell
your rebellion before it started.

I think we both know
what your intentions were, doctor.

And now it's time you became
aware of mine.

I will release your men,
but I expect something in return.

We have 12 of your own.
How about a straight trade?

The Genii you've imagined as your
potential hostages are terminally ill.

They volunteered
for the mission.

They knew they were never coming
back the moment they heard my plan.

Why are you doing this?

The Genii people need the
Atlantean ships you call Jumpers.

I believe you have 10 of them.

You have one hour
to bring them all here.

And If I don't?

We will kill one of your team
every 15 minutes

until our demands are met.

Oh, and we will be starting
with Colonel Sheppard.

It's no use. The doctors on our
world have tried to cure all of us.

I don't mean to speak ill
of your doctors,

but our medicines are
more advanced than theirs.

I know what
you're trying to do.

There's really nothing sinister
about it, love.

They won't give your men back.

Even if you cure us,
Cowen will never relent.

I'm afraid
that's not my department.

Now, are you experiencing
any pain at all?

Why? Why would you help us?

Because I'm a doctor,
that's what I do.

Why would you do this?
Allow yourself to be used like this?

I'm dead anyway.
What does it matter?

Not yet, last time I checked
your pulse.

Besides, even if there was
no hope,

I'd prefer to die surrounded
by friends and family in my home.

Well, I am doing this to ensure that
my friends and family have a home.

Can't you understand that?

This is the one thing that I can do,
and I am glad to do it.

What do you want
with the Jumpers?

What do I want
with invisible spaceships

that can fly to other worlds and
even deliver our atomic weapons?

Well, since you put it
that way...

They're never gonna deal.

You're gonna have to kill us.

Mm-hm. I fully expect
to have to kill you.

Looking forward to it
that much, huh?

Why didn't you just take us hostage
when we came to visit?

Why take two hostages
if you can have a dozen?

Take him to his cell.

Even if we give you the Jumpers, none
of the Genii will be able to fly them.

Oh, no? Why is that?
You know why.

If you're referring
to the Ancient gene,

I'm working on a treatment
to artificially produce it.

In fact, we've been collecting
samples for some time.

From where?

Lorne.

Starting to put it all together?
I'm getting there.

Major. Boys.

Colonel.

Way to be alive.

Thanks, sir.

So you come to rescue us?

Until a moment ago,
I thought you were dead,

but now that I see you speaking and
breathing, yeah, I'm thinking about it.

Well, good. Let me know if there's
anything we can do to help out.

Lieutenant Miller performed
a cloaked scan of the planet.

The Genii moved in a massive amount
of troops over the past 15 minutes.

I am afraid they have
us greatly outnumbered.

Any attempt to extract
our men would result

in many casualties on both sides.

Let me see what I can do.

No, the last thing I need is
for more of us to fall into their hands.

How are our Genii guests doing?

They have different
symptoms and ailments,

but they all trace back to one thing,
radiation poisoning.

McKay warned them

that the shielding for their
fission experiments was insufficient.

I guess they didn't listen.
Aye.

Can you cure them?

There are experimental treatment
protocols I've been able to get.

Some are too far gone
to do anything but pain management,

but I believe I can save
at least eight of them.

All right. Let's hope they will trade
their people for ours.

Do we have a back-up plan?

We're not handing 10 of our
Jumpers over to the Genii.

Let's just hope this works.

WEIR
I don't think you understand.

Most of your people can be cured,
including Ladon's sister.

Oh, I understand.

What you need to understand is
I don't care.

What?

I think you're playing for time,
Dr. Weir.

Your people can be cured.

Let me return them to you,

and let them live out their lives
with their families on their homeworld.

The Genii need those Jumpers.

Until you're prepared to part with
them, this conversation is over.

You kill one of my people
and we are in a state of war.

Oh, yes, yes, I don't quite know
how I live with myself.

I will contact you again
in 15 minutes

so you can decide whether you
would like Dr. McKay to live.

In the meantime, you have forfeited
the life of Colonel Sheppard.

Cowen, wait!

Kill him.
Yes, sir.

What the hell happened?
We got gassed.

We in some sort of trouble?

Was it the gas or the prison cell
that was your first clue?

Time's up.

Anything?

He's still connected,
but he's turned the radio off.

I'm not getting any signal.
Damn it!

Elizabeth, what if we offered them
one Jumper in exchange for Sheppard?

We have less than 15 minutes
before they kill McKay.

You can deliver
all the Jumpers you want.

They're gonna kill everyone.
We need to attack now.

Weir says your Dr. Beckett can cure
the people I sent through the gate.

Is that true?

Beckett's the best doctor in two
galaxies. If there's a cure, he's got it.

We're letting them go.

Hidden away at the bottom of
this building is a nuclear device.

How'd you get your hands on that?
You forget, I'm the chief scientist.

I made it.
You're gonna start your coup.

I needed Cowen and his elite guard
together in one place.

I knew the chance at some Jumpers
would get him here.

Good one.

Most of my men are waiting for me
on our homeworld.

Tonight, the leadership
of our people changes hands.

You were just gonna leave us here
to be vaporized with the others?

Yes, I was.

Things have changed. Let's go.

Go see what's keeping him.

It's all right.
We're just escorting these prisoners.

There's a hidden passage this way.
We shouldn't run into any resistance.

SOLDIER Commander Cowen,
someone has freed the Atlanteans.

What?

Ladon, come in.

Receiving Dr. McKay's IDC.

Defence team, stand by.
Lower the shield.

Rodney.

Ladon's letting us go
in exchange for his people.

Ladon's in charge?
He's about to be.

He really was planning a coup.
Apparently we're a part of the plan.

Ladon, come in.

LADON This is Ladon.
What's going on?

I'm sorry it had
to come to this, Cowen.

You have served our people well.

What have you done?

Shield up.

Now, please,
I would like to see my sister.

What are you doing?

We found a malignant tumour
in your sister's left lung.

We had to remove it.

Not to worry,
it was a complete success.

She did great.
And then she'll be cured?

She's not out of the woods entirely,
but if she keeps up the treatments...

Many Genii suffer
from similar afflictions.

We'd be more than happy to cure
as many of your people as we can.

The ones who survive
your coup, that is.

I don't anticipate any more casualties.
Good, let's make that a condition.

My day is far from over.

I must return to my planet.

We'll take good care of her,
I promise.

Thank you, doctor.

The coup was successful.

Ladon Radim is the new leader
of the Genii.

Wow, that was fast.

Once people found out Cowen
was out of the picture,

his loyalists laid down their weapons.

They're billing it as a bloodless coup
because no one died on their soil.

So a nuclear explosion and the lives
of an entire battalion don't count?

Yeah, it's all a spin. What do
you think the fallout's gonna be?

Well, most coups end up with the new
government being as bad as the old one.

I don't know, he seemed pretty
grateful we saved his sister.

There's that.
He did save me and my team.

There's that too.
So I say we call it a win.

Who's spinning now?
All right.

Then I say we call it a night.

That we can do.
