(YELPS)

All right, get out of the way.
Get out of the way!

Come here! Come here!

(PEOPLE GRUNTING)

Move, move!
Come on, come on, come on, come on!

This is Scott. Slow down the evac!
We are coming in too hot!

Colonel, come in!

MAN 1: Move it back!

MAN 2: Oh, my God,
where are we?

WOMAN 1:
What is this place?

SCOTT: Move away
from the gate!

(GROANING)

- Where are we?
MAN 3: Where is this?

Why didn't we come
through to Earth?

There's no time to explain.
Off to the side!

WOMAN 2:
What's going on?

SCOTT: All right.
Come on, come on, come on.

(PEOPLE SHOUTING)

This is Scott.
Come in!

Colonel, come in!

I need a medic!

Over here!

JOHANSEN: Can you
move your fingers?

VOLKER: No. I think
my arm's broken.

Okay, just hold your arm there
and we'll put it in a sling, okay?

(SHOUTING CONTINUES)

(YELLS)

(PANTING)

(ECHOING) Keep calm.
Keep coming.

(GRUNTING)

Clear this area.
There could still be more incoming.

(GRUNTS)

(ARMSTRONG COUGHING)

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

We've got to move. Move!

Where the hell are we?

Greer? Where's
Colonel Young?

He was right behind me.

(GRUNTS)

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

- Move. Move. Move.
SCOTT: Quiet!

GREER: Stay calm!
- Move. Excuse me.

GREER: Keep it down!

Move. Move. Move.
Move. Move.

Colonel? Colonel?

Don't move.

(PANTING) Where are...
Where are we?

I don't know, sir.
Are you...

You're in charge, okay?

You're...

Sir?

(GASPS)

T.J.!

JOHANSEN: I'm coming!

GREER: Move back, people!
Coming through!

JOHANSEN: Let's go!
Move, move, move!

GREER: Get back, people.

Is he okay?

I don't know.

WRAY: Get back!

Wallace!
What is this place?

- Look, I just did what Rush told me...
- Where is he?

I don't know.
He went through ahead of me.

Rush! Rush!
Eli, help me find him.

What, I...

(ENGINE WHIRRING)

MAN 5: What's that?

What in the hell
was that?

I don't know. Look,

Sergeant, I need you to
get these people settled.

And you find out who and what we've got.
Nobody leaves this room.

Yes, sir.

Eli! Now!

(TYPING)

ELI: The core of the planet
is the power source.

You have to channel it into the
weapon to destroy the enemy ship.

MAN: Can't do it, dude.
- Uh, doing it.

It's one of those programmer's jokes,
a problem that can't be solved.

- Already solved it.
- No, you didn't.

Just shut up!
Watch this.

- What the hell!
- What happened?

Nothing happened.
I'm back at the beginning of the level.

- You're so full of yourself.
- No. No, no, no. It worked.

The firing code locked in.

Whatever.

That was extremely
unsatisfying.

Eli Wallace?

Actually, Eli's
not here right now.

Okay, okay.
Whatever you guys think that I did,

I swear you got
the wrong guy.

Do I look like someone
who'd be standing here

if I didn't already know everything
there is to know about you?

Yeah, not really.

Right.

ELI: Who are you?

Dr. Nicholas Rush.
May we come in?

Why?

You just spent a great
deal of time recently

playing an online fantasy
game called Prometheus.

(LAUGHS)

Big Brother's got
nothing better to do?

Last night you solved
the Dakara weapons puzzle.

Yeah, a month of my
life went into that.

You know what happens when
you solve that thing? Nothing.

We're here.
That happened.

To complete that
particular puzzle,

you had to solve a millennia-old
mathematical proof,

written in
another language.

For that, you've won
something of a prize.

Well, whatever it is,
I'll take the cash equivalent.

There isn't one.

It's a non-disclosure
agreement.

Non-disclosure?

So, you guys really embedded a
top-secret problem into a game,

hoping someone like me
would solve it?

Yup.

So, what do you
need me for now?

I assure you,
it'll be worth your while to sign it.

And if I don't?

We'll beam you up
to our spaceship.

(LAUGHS)

Right. I think I want my
lawyer to look it over first.

And by "lawyer," I
assume you mean "mother."

So, we'll just agree then
that I will call you.

(WHOOSHING)

(GASPS)

What the...

Welcome aboard
the Hammond, Eli.

Yes, that is planet Earth,
and yes, you are on a spaceship.

We need your help, Eli.

To be honest, I don't know
how long it's going to take.

I should call my mom
to tell her where I am.

That's probably not
going to work up here.

(CHUCKLES) Right.

You can speak to her
on the way.

There's a cover story
you'll have to follow.

I'm sorry.
On the way to?

To another planet,
21 light years from here.

(STAMMERING) I can't go.
I have things that...

We know about your
mother's condition.

You just know everything,
don't you?

We also know that you
are currently unemployed,

and that your mother's
medical coverage is

an ongoing issue.

We'll see she gets the best
available care while you're gone.

And if I don't sign, what?
You going to erase my memory?

(CHUCKLES)

Something like that.

Can I get some pants?

Hello, I'm
Dr. Daniel Jackson,

and behind me
is a stargate.

It was originally built
millennia ago by an alien race

who we call
the Ancients.

Over the next few hours,
we'll be touching on some of the things...

There are 39 symbols
representing star constellations

as seen from Earth...

When a connection is made
between two stargates,

an unstable energy vortex
emerges from the gate...

Whoa!

...and settles into the event
horizon, or "puddle,"

as we like to call it.

Later, it was discovered
that using an eighth symbol

would actually dial another galaxy in
hundreds of thousands of light years

via an interstellar
wormhole.

It is believed an unprecedented
amount of power is required

to reach the near-mythical
ninth chevron.

The first six symbols...

Icarus Base was established on a
planet discovered two years ago

to have a uniquely
powerful core.

The entire purpose of the
project is to hopefully one day

dial the nine chevron address
found in the Ancient database.

Hi! I'm
Dr. Daniel Jackson.

Now, you've heard the term
"hyperspace" for years...

Where are you?

ELI: It's top secret.

- Eli!
- I'm serious, Ma.

I can't say anything
more than that.

But I don't understand. Why could you
not at least tell me you were leaving?

I'm sorry, but did you
get the letter from...

Yeah, the Air Force.
I got it.

Are you in a plane now?
You sound like you're in an airplane.

Uh, no.
It's nothing like that.

I want you to know that they're
going to look after you.

Well, you didn't
have to do this.

This is good.

Really. It's the kind of
thing I always dreamed of.

Hi.

You mind?

No, go ahead.

Thank you.

First time on
a spaceship, too?

Me? I've been on
lots of various...

- Eli Wallace.
- I know.

You've heard of me?

I have.

Wow, that almost
never happens.

And you are?

Chloe. I work
for Alan Armstrong.

Senator of California?

Oh, yeah, yeah.
I have heard of California.

(CHUCKLES)

My last job was in the burger and
fries field. How'd you line that up?

I was a political science
major at Harvard, so...

Mmm. I hear it's a good school.
For a while there I was at...

MIT. I know.

Really? What else have
they told you about me?

What?

I've seen this
writing before.

- In the game?
- Yeah.

(WHIRRING)

Sheesh.
We're on a ship?

RUSH: The design
is clearly Ancient,

in the truest
sense of the word.

Launched hundreds of
thousands of years ago.

Dr. Rush?

Faster than light,
yet not through hyperspace.

What are you doing?

Who knows how far
it's traveled.

Dr. Rush, I've got a lot of wounded.
We need to get home.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

(MECHANICAL WHIRRING)

JOHANSEN ON RADIO: Lieutenant
Scott, come in.

Go ahead.

We've got a problem. One of the
air vents just shut down in here.

Copy that.

Yeah, the air's getting
pretty thin in here, too.

What does that mean?

That the life support
system is failing.

And we should probably
do something about that.

EMILY: Well, it's always
just one more year.

It's a command.

Where?

It's a lot safer than
other places I've been.

You've put your
time in, Everett.

When this tour is over,
I promise...

(ECHOING) You know what?
Never mind. Don't bother.

You always end up choosing
somewhere other than here.

(ECHOING) I am not
choosing my job over you.

How you can even say...
How you can even say that to me?

I love you, but I can't wait anymore.
I can't wait anymore.

Everett? Are you okay?
Sweetheart, baby, look at me.

(INAUDIBLE)

Colonel? Colonel?

(GRUNTING)

Oh, my God.

Can't you do something?

He's having a seizure.
There's nothing I can do.

(BOTH MOANING)

ON RADIO: Scott, this is Colonel Young.
Come in, please.

Our guests have arrived a few
minutes early, Lieutenant.

What's your position?

Come on. Not yet. Not yet.

Lieutenant, drop whatever you're
doing and get your ass up here.

I'm on my way, sir.

Bye.

Holy...

Senator, it is my honor to
welcome you to Icarus Base.

Colonel. This is my
executive assistant, Chloe.

It's a pleasure
to meet you, sir.

The pleasure's mine.

She's also my daughter.

You must be the...

Contest winner, yeah.
That is a big gun.

Rail gun. Five hundred
rounds per minute.

This is Lieutenant Scott.

He's been assigned
to you, Mr. Wallace.

Shall we go inside?

ARMSTRONG: You could probably
shave a few dollars off the budget

just by turning
the heat down.

Actually, cooling the place
is what costs money, sir.

We're here because the core of the
planet generates so much power.

A lot of heat
comes with that.

ELI: You ever get
claustrophobic down here?

SCOTT: Safer than
the surface.

- Why?
- Dinosaurs, man.

- Really?
- No.

(ELI CHUCKLES)

ELI: Unbelievable.

SCOTT: Yeah, it is.

It's weird how fast you can start to
take something like this for granted.

So, if a stargate can instantly
transport you to another planet,

why did we fly here
on a spaceship?

Something to do with how this one's
tied into the planet for power.

Apparently,
it's been modified to only dial out

because incoming wormholes
are too dangerous.

You're the genius.
You can probably tell me better.

(LAUGHS) All I did was solve
a puzzle in a video game.

Hey, you figured out
something Dr. Rush

has been trying to
figure out for months,

which, by the way,
a lot of people were glad to see.

RUSH: And, of course,
you know Colonel Telford.

Ready for this, Colonel?

You just give
the word, sir.

Oh, I gave it quite
a while ago, Colonel.

I'm just here to see how my
$1.6 billion is being spent.

(RUSH LAUGHS)

Very good.
Thank you, everyone.

Dismissed.

As you know,
up until now,

we have been unable to channel the
precise amount of power necessary

to unlock the stargate's
ninth and final chevron.

However, thanks to some ingenuity
from young Mr. Wallace here,

that problem has
finally been solved.

YOUNG: We've
heard that before.

This time we're sure.

That's what I figured out?

I embedded the mathematical problem
we had to solve into the game.

I then engineered your solution into
a practical, workable application.

What say
we get on with it?

Absolutely.
Sergeant Riley.

RILEY:
Chevron one encoded.

Sir.

(DIALING GATE)

We're dialing now?

A test, to see if we
can make a connection.

RILEY:
Chevron one locked.

If we do, we will send an automated
reconnaissance drone through.

We'll see what's
on the other side.

RILEY:
Chevron two locked.

And then they'll go?

No, first, we close down again,
assess the data we receive,

and then perhaps
send the away team.

If it works.

RILEY:
Chevron four locked.

Until then, they're just
interested observers, like us.

RILEY:
Chevron five locked.

Chevron six encoded.
Chevron six locked.

Chevron seven encoded.
Chevron seven locked.

Chevron eight encoded.
Chevron eight locked.

Chevron nine encoded.

Whoa, what's going on?

I don't know.
We never got this far before.

Chevron nine...
Chevron nine will not lock.

(COMPUTER BEEPING)

We matched the power
requirements down to the EMU.

It must work.

Power levels in the gate
capacitors are going into the red.

- Shut it down.
- No, wait, wait, wait.

RILEY: We're reading fluctuations
in the output from the core...

Shut it down now.

(GATE POWERING DOWN)

(EXHALES)

- It should have worked.
- Well, it didn't.

And drawing power from
the planet's core...

Dangerous? Yes.
We're all aware of that...

Regardless of what's been
spent or what's at stake,

my first priority is to ensure the
safety of the people on this base.

Of course.
Of course.

Eli, we'd best run through
your equations again.

If you'll excuse me.

You are not seriously
putting this on me!

Not my fault.

(PEOPLE CLAMORING)

SCOTT: People,
you have to calm down.

Seriously,
you have to calm down.

(PEOPLE APPLAUDING)

MAN: We got power!
WOMAN: Thank God!

Everybody's attention,
please.

All right, please listen.

Hey, listen up!

(CHATTERING STOPS)

What is going on?

We are on
an Ancient spaceship.

MAN: What?

That's all I've got.

Now, what that
means is that...

That means you need to use the
stargate to get us all back home.

That is definitely on the
list of things to do, sir,

- but I think right now...
- You can consider that an order.

We are working on it, sir.

Now, I need to speak to the person
responsible for this. Where is Dr. Rush?

Just shut up for a
second, will you!

How dare you
talk to...

- Dad? Dad, please.
WOMAN: Medic!

Water? Water?
Quickly. Over here. Get...

CHLOE: Sit down.

ARMSTRONG: (GRUNTING)
The pills.

(COUGHING)

Look, I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to explain the situation.

We are on a ship,

but we have no idea where
we are in relation to Earth.

Now, with respect, sir,

the reason you might be having
a hard time breathing right now

is because the ship's life-support
system is not functioning properly.

Dr. Rush is working
on that right now.

(ALL MURMURING)

Brody and Park?

- Here!
- Here.

Okay, good,
you two are with me.

But these consoles
just came on.

No, nobody touch
anything yet!

Dr. Rush needs your help.

Everybody else, just stay
calm, stay put. Please.

MAN: "Stay put"? Wait, what do you mean?
You're just going like that?

There has to be a mistake
in here somewhere.

Seriously, who uses
a whiteboard anymore?

You have computers, like,
everywhere around here.

The power flow was
in the target range.

Why wouldn't the
address connect?

Wrong address?

There is only one found in the
Ancient database in Atlantis.

With no other instructions?

No, but that's not the issue.
It has to be your proof.

My proof works.
You know how I know that it does?

Because you said so.

Gentlemen.
How's it coming?

(SCOFFS)

Whoa, whoa! What are you doing?
Starting from the beginning.

Wait. Save! Save!
Save! I can't...

Mr. Wallace, I would like you to join
me for dinner in the officers' mess.

- Thank you, I'm starving.
- We're quite close

to a breakthrough, actually.
I'd like Eli to keep working.

Well, we've been here for six months.
It can wait a few more hours.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

ELI: A four-cheese pizza,
mozzarella shouldn't count.

You know what I mean?
When you have, like...

So, tell me, what's it like when
you finally go through the gate?

When you go through the gate,
you don't really feel it.

I'm telling you, the moment you break
through the atmosphere in an F-302

and you see the stars?
That's incredible.

Wow. That just
sounds so amazing.

Could I maybe go
for a ride sometime?

I can arrange that.

So, Colonel,
you really have no idea

where this ninth chevron stargate
address is gonna send you?

No idea at all.

Hmm.

But the Ancients built the
stargate with nine chevrons.

It's got to go somewhere.

(SCOFFS)

(MARKER CLATTERING)

(SIGHS)

YOUNG: We've also known for
some time that the only way

to unlock the ninth chevron
was to solve the power issues.

Well, if anyone's going to solve
it, I think Eli will.

Yes, that's right.
It's true. I am Math Boy.

(PEOPLE CHUCKLING)

Dr. Rush. Dr. Rush!

ARMSTRONG: I would like
to propose a toast.

Oh, no, that's
really not necessary.

Oh. Not to you.

When the proposal for this
project first crossed my desk,

I did not want
to approve it.

- Oh, my God.
- It seemed clear to me at the time

that there were enough
terrestrial matters of importance

that needed
that kind of money.

Now, being a proud father of a
beautiful young woman is one thing.

Having that young
woman exceed every

possible expectation
is quite another.

(MELANCHOLY OPERA
PLAYING ON STEREO)

It was my daughter,
Chloe,

who reminded me that there
is no greater endeavor

than seeking an
understanding of who we are,

and the mysteries of the
universe in which we all exist.

Not in those
exact words.

It was also her idea

to embed the Ancient proof in a
medium that would give us access

to brilliant young minds that we
would have otherwise overlooked.

And so to all the brave men and
women who have volunteered...

(EXPLOSION)

Okay, what was that?

(RADIO CRACKLES)

This is Young.

(EXPLOSION)

YOUNG: The base
is under attack.

All non-combatant personnel
report to your designated areas.

Everyone else to your battle stations.
This is not a drill.

Senator, I need you and your
daughter to go with Lieutenant Scott.

- Eli! You as well.
- Oh, yeah.

WOMAN: Hurry.
SCOTT: Yeah, we're on our way.

(SOLDIERS CLAMORING)

GREER: What's
going on in here?

The life-support
system is on,

but for some reason,
it's not working properly.

I'm attempting
to reset it.

He has no idea
what he's doing.

- Step away from that thing.
ELI: That screen says

that what you're doing
is gonna overload it...

- Eli, please!
- Is that what it says or not?

You only think you know
what it says in this screen

because I embedded
a rudimentary version

of the Ancient language
into the game.

- This is not a game.
- Don't touch it, Rush.

When the oxygen aboard this
ship falls below critical level,

it will become increasingly
difficult to concentrate.

And what you're doing could
blow up the whole ship.

Are you sure, Eli?

Back off now
or I will shoot!

Lower your weapon,
Sergeant!

He already screwed us once.
I'm not going to let him do it again!

I need to get through, people.
Stand aside.

(ALARM BLARING)

Sergeant,
we're under attack.

Don't know who,
don't know why.

Consider the
charges dropped.

Go take your anger
out on them.

Yes, sir.

YOUNG ON RADIO: What do we
got, Colonel, Lucian Alliance?

That would be my guess.
They haven't introduced themselves.

They started shooting the minute
they came out of hyperspace.

Our shields are holding,
but we're not the target.

What's heading our way?

A full squadron of gliders
and a troop transport.

We cut them down some,
but the rest will be on your doorstep

in less than
three minutes.

Telford, did you copy?
Roger that.

If we can get to the transport before
they land their troops, we stand a chance.

RUSH: I am going to
press that button.

It's going to fix
the life support,

and then you and I,
and everyone else,

will be able to breathe
and think much better.

Now, you can shoot me
for that if you like,

but if, however, there are any negative
consequences in resetting the system,

I suggest you might still need
me to help resolve them.

Don't do it.

Okay, look. Sergeant,
I know we are in a tough situation here,

but I am giving you an order.
Lower your weapon.

So?

Well, I suppose that would
have been too simple.

Apparently,
that did nothing.

This may take a little more time, T.J.
Hang in there.

Copy.

Does Colonel Young
know about this?

He knows.

Two weeks ago you told me that this
was the best experience of your life.

Something must
have happened.

The scholarship came in.

I guess I've just been too afraid
to admit what I really want.

(SCOFFS)

Wow, you didn't tell me
you had even applied.

There's nothing else going on.
You know I'd tell you.

Unless you were
protecting someone else.

I'm not.

Like I said,
I just hadn't made up my mind.

(COMPUTER BEEPING)

RILEY: Dr. Rush? I'm reading a
dangerous energy spike in the core.

Eli! Eli!
I need your help.

With what?
The ninth chevron.

What? We need to get
the hell out of here.

Look, it took us two years to find
this site. The properties are unique.

This may be
our last chance.

(EXPLOSION)

If this bombardment
continues,

the radioactive core
is going to go critical.

You mean the planet...
It's going to explode?

- Yes.
- Ah! Okay, okay, okay, okay.

- If my math works...
- We can't assume that...

I said "if"!

Then if it works,
then it's not a power supply issue,

it's the gate address.

We've known the first
eight symbols for years,

the ninth has to be
the point of origin.

So, what if we're not on the planet
you're supposed to be dialing from?

This is where we are.

Okay, what if we are not
supposed to be here?

Icarus Base, Telford.
We can't hold them back.

Let's go! Go!

(SOLDIERS SHOUTING)

Sergeant Riley,
dial the stargate to Earth!

SOLDIER: Incoming!
Come on, come on.

RILEY:
Chevron one locked.

ELI: Okay, follow me.
The symbols on the stargate

are constellations
as seen from Earth.

- That's what you said...
- Yes, yes.

Okay, so what if Earth is supposed
to be the point of origin?

RILEY:
Chevron two locked.

The only viable
power source was here,

- light years away.
- What if that doesn't matter?

What if it's the only combination
that will work, like a code?

RILEY:
Chevron three locked.

A code?

ELI: Yeah.
RILEY: Chevron four encoded.

- Stop the dialing sequence.
RILEY: I have my orders.

Get out of my way. Get out of the way!
We can't risk dialing Earth.

ARMSTRONG:
Come on, let's go.

SCOTT: Go, go, keep moving.

(GASPS)

Dad? Dad? Dad!

SCOTT: Chloe!

My father! There could still be
people trapped on the other side.

All right, let's go, people.
You need to move it to the Gate Room!

This is Scott. I got about a dozen or
so people cut off from the Gate Room,

southeast corridor.

Oh, my God!
What happened?

He was helping pull wounded
back from the surface.

Come on. All right.
I got you. I got you.

- Greer, we're pulling back.
- There are people still out there.

Listen, Hammond's already started beaming
up anyone pinned down on the surface.

Somebody's
gotta make sure.

Sergeant, listen to me.
I got people cutoff from the Gate Room.

The base is shielded,
which means the Hammond can't help them.

I need you here, now.

Go.

Oh, God! Okay. Damn it!

YOUNG: Oh, my God!
Is that Dr. Simms?

Stay with me, okay?

He was helping pull people
back from the surface.

(SNIFFLING)

- Simms, can you hear me?
- T.J.

No!

Hey, Tamara.
Hey, Tamara.

Come on, we got to go.

That is impressive.

The power's fluctuating
at critical levels.

Colonel, I'm detecting a massive
buildup of energy from the planet.

Recall our fighters.
Radio Colonel Telford.

He's got two minutes to get his people
aboard before we jump to hyperspace.

(RUMBLING)

What's everybody doing?
I ordered an evacuation.

He, uh...
He didn't dial Earth.

It's the ninth
chevron address.

What?

The attack started a chain
reaction in the planet's core.

There's no way
of stopping that.

And any blast could easily
translate through an open wormhole.

It's too dangerous
to dial Earth.

You could have dialed somewhere else.
Anywhere else.

RUSH: This could be our only chance.
- Shut it down.

- You can't, it's too late.
- Riley!

System's not responding, sir.

I need to get these
people out of here.

We have a way out.
We don't know what's on the other side!

Damn it, Rush!

Can't be worse
than here, can it?

Nobody move. Await
further instructions.

- What's that?
- Well, it doesn't look like life support.

RUSH: Yes, I realize that.

Whoa!

What are we looking at?

It's a star map.

PARK: That's
the Milky Way.

RUSH: I believe it's a visual
log of the ship's journey.

So, this is
where we are now?

No. That's where the ship
originally embarked from.

ELI: Earth.

It's leaving
the galaxy.

RUSH: It did.
Long ago.

That was Pegasus.

So, those points
are more stars?

No, they're galaxies.

Rush, where
the hell are we?

Several billion
light years from home.

Please.

YOUNG: Scott.

Stand clear.

You could take down the
rest of the roof with that.

Look, we don't have
time to argue.

I need you to lead the
evacuees through the gate.

You need to go with him.

No! I'm staying here until
I know my father's okay.

Make sure everyone carries as much of
the expedition supplies as they can.

- Why?
- 'Cause you're not going to Earth.

Rush dialed the
ninth chevron. Go.

Go!

(RUMBLING CONTINUES)

Once I'm through,
follow one at a time on a three-count.

SOLDIER: Okay, people.
Make way.

Come on, let's go.
Keep it going.

You good?
Okay, let's go.

If you can hear me,
stand back!

Okay, get down.

Fire in the hole!

(CHLOE EXCLAIMS)

(CHLOE COUGHING)

Dad?

Dad?

GREER: Put your
weight on me.

- Put your weight on me.
YOUNG: Stay calm, everybody.

- I got you.
CHLOE: Please.

Okay, everybody stay calm!
Don't push.

(YELPS)

Dad!

(EXCLAIMS)
Careful, careful.

YOUNG: You're okay, sir.
- Are you okay?

I'm the last one.
I'm all right.

Greer, go.
I'm right behind you.

Hammond, this is Young,
come in.

Hammond, this is Young.
Come in.

GREER: Let's go, let's go,
let's go, come on, people.

Let's do it.
Let's do it.

SOLDIER: Hurry up!

- Sir!
- Go!

Sir. We've got Colonel Carter.
On screen.

General, we barely got away.
The planet was destroyed.

We managed to beam most of
our people off the surface

before jumping
to hyperspace.

We also believe that the
enemy forces were destroyed.

Any word on how they
gained intel on our base?

No.

What about casualties?

Twelve. Eighty-plus MIA.

The bunker-shielding
technology

prevented us from beaming
out anyone inside.

How many people made it
through the gate to Earth?

None.

None? Our sensors indicated
that the stargate was active

for a full six minutes before
the core went critical.

Well, they didn't
come through here.

Then where'd they go?

Senator.
I'm Camile Wray.

I believe as the
highest-ranking member

of the International
Oversight Advisory...

Wray. You're with
human resources?

With the IOA. Yes.

Don't worry.

I'm going to get
things organized.

JOHANSEN: His vitals
seem stable.

Do we have any idea how
long the air will last

if we don't get
the life support fixed?

No, sir. Dr. Rush and the other
scientists are working on that.

That's not good enough,
Lieutenant. I need answers.

As soon as I
have them, sir.

Okay, listen up!

Everybody who is able, we are going
to search this ship top to bottom.

Teams of three.

Weapons?

Twenty-three,
including handguns.

One per group?

Yeah.

Flashlights, radios,
only when necessary.

Once those batteries are
dead, they are dead.

Regular check-ins with
Dr. Rush in the control room

every 10 minutes, and keep in
mind, as far as we know,

this bucket is
really freaking old,

and there may be
areas of damage

where life support
is unstable.

And, look, be smart, okay?

Don't touch anything that looks
like it might be dangerous.

How are we supposed to
know what's dangerous?

Becker, right?

Yes, sir.
I work in the mess.

I mean, I did.

Well, don't touch,
just look.

You're...
You're James, right?

Yes, Lieutenant.

You and Riley
are with me.

Subtle, man. Subtle.

SCOTT: If it's okay
with you, sir,

it might be best,
considering your obvious skills,

for you to hang back here and help
keep the rest of these people calm.

Don't patronize me, son.

No, sir.

- Is there any progress?
PARK: Fortunately for us,

the life-support system activated
automatically when we dialed the ship.

Probably emergency reserves,
but only in certain sections.

The reserve is gone.

Life support's been breaking down
section by section ever since.

Resetting it doesn't help.

I asked if there's
any progress.

PARK: Unless something changes,
according to my readings,

we only have about six to eight
hours of breathable air left.

Okay, let me
put this another way.

Has anyone got
any good news?

I think I figured out
the menu system.

Try to find
a schematic or map.

(SCOFFS) Yeah.
Google Spaceship.

Hey, hey, hey.

I don't suppose you've got any
food in that pack? I'm starving.

No. Keep working.

Well, where are you going?

To find a bathroom.

Yeah. That would
be good, too.

General, we apparently have
a connection with the lab.

Dr. Rush would
like to see you.

General O'Neill. I'm reporting to you
from on board an Ancient spaceship

somewhere far beyond
our known...

Just slow down,
back up.

Who's with you?

Several dozen, I'm not sure,
but the point is, I did it.

I successfully made the connection
to the ninth chevron address.

You were supposed to be
evacuating non-combat personnel.

To Earth!

Colonel Young gave that order, yes.
I overrode that decision.

- Did you, now?
- If you'd let me explain, sir.

Dialing Earth
was not an option.

The core of the planet
P4X351 had become unstable,

and if the
resulting blast

had transferred through
the wormhole to Earth,

the effect would
have been catastrophic.

So let me get
this straight.

Instead of dialing up any one of a
number of other planets in our galaxy,

you took a bunch of unqualified
people halfway across the universe?

I took what I thought was our last chance
to dial the ninth and final chevron.

I was successful.

At that point,
the gate couldn't be shut down again.

Oh, my God.

Rush, get those
people home.

Are you all right?

I'm solid, Lieutenant.

I'm trained for this.

Look, I didn't
mean to...

Look, not now.

How exactly do we know
this ship is unoccupied?

Rush said the air came on
just before we got here.

How about aliens
that don't breathe air?

Okay.

ON RADIO: Rush, this is Scott.
Come in.

Rush, this is Scott.
Come in.

Hello. This is Eli.

Where's Rush?

Bathroom,
if he found it.

I'm at what looks like a bulkhead door.
It won't open.

I was hoping Rush could
open it from there.

Should I find him?

No.

Here, give me a hand.

What happened
to being smart?

This could be the engine
room for all we know.

We got to at least
open a few doors.

Do we? Do we really?

(ALL GRUNTING)

(COMPUTER BEEPING)

ELI: Hang on.

No, keep doing
what you're doing.

I think I found where you are.
The door is flashing red.

SCOTT: Can you
open it from there?

Red is usually bad,
isn't it?

Maybe it means the door is stuck.
Just try.

Okay. You should
probably step back.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, not good!
Not good. More red...

Close it!

- Close it now!
- I'm trying!

(ALARM BEEPING)

Yeah. Okay. We established
why that hatch was closed.

Yeah. A lot of others are
closed for the same reason.

We're only occupying a
fraction of the ship right now.

It just goes on forever.

But if there are damaged areas
of the ship that aren't sealed,

that could be
our problem.

Oh, hey, good timing.
We just found... Hey... Really?

This is Dr. Rush.
Meet me in the Gate Room immediately.

Everyone.

MAN 1: I don't know
what's going on.

MAN 2:
It's over there.

(ALL MURMURING)

What's going on?

In this case are five
Ancient communication stones.

They work over vast
distances in real time.

- We can talk to the people on Earth.
- Yes.

MAN 1: Great.
MAN 2: All right.

RUSH: You physically take control
of an individual at the other end.

I brought these with us
in the event

we ended up somewhere out of
range of normal communication.

So let's use them.

MAN: Yeah.
WOMAN: Yeah.

I already have.

ALL: What? When?

Are they sending help?

No.

MAN: Why? Why are they
not sending help?

The only means of dialing
this gate from our galaxy

was destroyed in the attack.
We're cut off.

I want to use one
of those stones now.

I have spoken
with General O'Neill...

I am
a United States senator!

I've explained our
situation clearly.

In light of my knowledge and
experience, he has placed me in charge.

He did what?

(ALL MURMURING)

MAN: How do we know?

I have faith in our ability to repair
this ship and to work together,

but if we're to survive
this, we need leadership

and a clear
chain of command.

ELI: We only have
a few hours of air left.

Yeah. I want to speak
to the General myself.

- Senator, please.
- Give it to him!

WOMAN: Yeah.
SCOTT: Give it to him.

(GROANING)

CHLOE: Dad? Dad!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. T.J.?

Excuse me, excuse me. Okay.
Okay, he's still breathing.

CHLOE: Oh, my God!

JOHANSEN: I saw him
taking some pills?

Warfarin,
for his heart.

Blood thinners are the last thing he
needs if he's bleeding internally.

Please do something!

Look, I told you,
I'm just a medic.

Everyone, please,

there's no need for us all to
congregate in the one place.

Ms. Johansen, please find adequate
accommodation for the injured,

- and everyone else...
- No, I don't recognize your authority,

- Dr. Rush. As an IOA representative...
- We have found quarters nearby

- much more comfortable. Please go there...
- I think you need to...

...and stay there until you're
asked to do something useful.

Something useful?

We do not want
to settle in!

- We want to get back! Right?
- Yeah.

We should be working
on getting home.

WRAY: Exactly.

I'm not sure if
that's even possible.

What? You haven't
even tried!

Maybe you should actually do
something instead of standing around,

talking about
being in charge.

If that's even true.

Everybody! Everyone, calm down!
Now, the fact is

Colonel Young
put me in charge,

and I expect all SG personnel
to follow my orders.

As for the rest of you, you get
out of line, we will lock you down.

Now, Dr. Rush is right
about a couple things.

First off, we all have
to work together,

and second of all,
we don't all have to stay here,

so let's move out.

Go on, move. It's okay.

SOLDIER 1: All right.
You heard him.

SOLDIER 2:
Do as he says, people.

(PEOPLE MURMURING)

I think we need you,
so I've got your back for now,

but if I were you,

I would find some way to
dial that gate back to Earth.

I've got some testing equipment over here.
Looks broken.

We'll get back to that.

What about all these
Ancient crates?

If it's not ours,
don't touch it.

VOLKER: Did no one think
of labeling anything?

Every case
has a bar code.

All right, anyone find
a bar code reader?

I guess that got left behind
along with the food and water.

Uh-uh. We got food.

Yeah, protein bars
and this powdered stuff.

Look, everybody.

Seeds? Volker,
you've got to be kidding.

PALMER: I got a case
of blank paper.

VOLKER: Maybe we should
start a suggestion box.

What are you staring at?

You were in detention.

Yeah.

For good reason.

What did you
want him to do?

Leave me there?

Of course not.

I was just wondering
what to do about it now.

That's not up to you.

We'll see.

No, no, no.
Don't do it, man.

SCOTT ON RADIO: Greer, I need you
to check for any open bulkhead doors

that lead to damaged parts of the ship.
Rush will direct you.

Copy.

RUSH ON RADIO: There should
be an elevator directly ahead.

Copy that.

Are you there yet?

This is Scott.
Radio silence, please.

Hey.

Hey.

What's going on?

We almost lost you.
You were thrown clear across the room.

- Where are we?
- Sir...

(GROANS)

Where are we?

We're on a ship.

It's Ancient. Rush says
it's thousands of years old

and we're pretty far off
into the universe.

What's he doing
to get us home?

He says
he's working on it,

but we have
bigger problems.

The life-support system
isn't working properly.

If we can't get it fixed,
there's not much time.

You should also know that he used the
communication stones to contact Earth,

and he said General
O'Neill put him in charge.

I don't think so.
I don't think... Oh...

Sir, you shouldn't be trying
to get up just yet, okay?

I don't think I have a choice, T.J.
I can't feel my legs.

- Whoa, jeez!
ELI: Whoa!

What is that thing?

Come here,
I'll show you.

(DEVICE BEEPING)

It's a...
It's a camera.

It's a flying camera.

I'm calling it a Kino, you
know, after the Russian...

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Well, I figure maybe we can use it to
check out the damaged areas of the ship.

- That's good.
- Yeah.

That's good.
Where's it going now?

Oh, I don't know.
It's just doing its thing,

but there's
lots more of them.

(CHUCKLES)

- Yeah, it's cool.
- Yeah!

Do you want one?

It's not
a gumball machine, Eli.

Okay.

- Okay!
- Okay, so you figured out

where they keep the Kinos.
What else have you figured out?

Give me a break, man.

This is my second spaceship,
and my first was yesterday.

I know. Icarus was my first
SGC assignment after training.

I haven't been at this
much longer than you have.

Did they beam you
out of your house?

(CHUCKLES) No.
You got me there.

Got any food on you?

- No.
- Tylenol?

- Headache?
- Yeah.

Me, too.

Neuropraxia is
temporary paralysis

that can follow
a concussive injury.

You don't know?

You'd need an MRI and a qualified
doctor who knows how to read it

to know for sure if
there's spinal damage.

We don't have either.

Hopefully, it's just
the nerves in shock.

Best I can do is insist
that you remain still.

Your tour was over
two weeks ago.

You should be in some
classroom in San Diego.

Seattle. That's where
my scholarship was.

I'm sorry.

That part's
not your fault.

Tell Rush
I want to see him.

Yes, sir.

What's that?

Flying camera ball.

- I'm calling it a Kino.
- Don't ask.

That's marvelous.

It comes with a remote.

I thought we could
use it to look around.

What do you have?

Well, it's not
so good, really.

These processing nodes
are scrubbers,

responsible for cleaning
CO2 from the air.

Here, here, and here,

it's indicating malfunction.
Others are failing.

Greer, this is Scott.
I'm heading for the Gate Room.

Meet me there.

Look, I'm just saying that she
better stay out of my face.

I'll remind her of your personal
space issues next chance I get.

Dr. Rush? Colonel Young
wants to see you right away.

There should be a kind of
grate covering the node.

RUSH: What do you see?

SCOTT: A problem.

We see a very big problem.

What happened?

You collapsed.
We brought you here.

What's going on?

I'm not sure.
I've been here with you.

I need to know what's happening, Chloe.
This is important.

Dad, I was
worried about you.

Okay.

And I'm scared.

One step at a time, honey.
One step at a time.

My pills...

No, Dad, you can't take
any more of those.

Your ribs are badly bruised.
You will bleed internally.

If I don't take those pills, a bruise
is going to be the least of my problems.

I know.

Don't worry about me. Go.
Find out what's going on out there.

No, I want to be
here with you.

And I want you here,
but right now,

I want to know
what's going on

just a little bit more.

Okay.

I'll be here
when you get back.

- Okay.
- Okay.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

- What's going on?
- I don't know, man.

The air filter's
full of crap.

Come on.
They want us to keep looking.

Let's go.

All right, okay.

Alkaline.

Everyone's heart rates are elevated,
people are reporting headaches.

- It has to be.
- What?

The used-up residue of
whatever magic compound

the Ancients used to
scrub CO2 from the air.

So, now we have two big problems
relating to the life support.

Our first priority must be
to seal off any of the leaks.

If we can manage that, then we can
maybe buy ourselves a day or so

before the buildup
of CO2 kills us.

As it stands,
how much time do we have?

I don't know.

Couple of hours at most.

Huh. Awesome.

Brody, there was some medical-grade
soda lime in the supply manifest?

It never made it.

That's a pity.

Well, in a ship this old

there's bound to be systems
past their designed life.

Okay, let's say we find the leaks.
Can you fix this?

I doubt this stuff
can be cooked off.

Perhaps if there were stores of
this substance in a clean form,

or something else capable of CO2
sequestration, calcium carbonate,

lithium hydroxide,
then yes, "if."

Okay, well, that's not going to matter
because you're going to get the gate

dialed back to Earth before
this becomes an issue,

- Rush, right?
- Lieutenant...

That's the kind of thing you're
taught to say in officer training,

presumably for the benefit of
those who don't know any better.

Please.

What makes you think
I won't try?

Looks like a mess.

Lots of stuff
to put food on.

But no food.

Greer, I found what
looks like a shuttle.

Looks like there
are two shuttles,

attached to individual
docking sleeves.

We're all going to die.

GREER: Shut up, Franklin.

I'm just saying what
everyone's got to be thinking.

I said shut up,
or else you're going to be the first.

This the door?

Yeah, yeah, that's it.
Can you close it?

It won't close.

We can't close it
from here, either.

There's something wrong
with the mechanism.

FRANKLIN: I think
I found the leak.

There's another door on
the back of the shuttle,

but there's no control.

Then maybe we can
close it off locally.

FRANKLIN: The shield keeping the air
inside is obviously not 100% effective.

RUSH: Probably wasn't
designed to compensate

for the amount of damage
the ship has sustained.

FRANKLIN: Is there
a way of boosting it?

At least in the
areas we need it?

RUSH: We haven't
found a way yet.

It seems to be operating
at maximum capability.

(ELI GASPING)

ELI: Open the door!

Well, that's not good.

That's very good, sir.
A very good sign.

I don't have time
for this, do I?

Two problems. We're venting
atmosphere from a damaged shuttle,

and even if we
could seal it off,

the life-support system in this
ship is past its expiration date.

We'll build up CO2 to
lethal levels within a day.

Well, that explains
the headache.

You already had one.

They'll find a way.
That's what these people do.

Well, most of these people
aren't even supposed to be here.

How did the ship
get damaged?

We don't know.

It certainly looks like
it's been through a battle,

at least the parts
we can access.

We're still cut off from
most of the ship. It's huge.

They tried jamming something into
the shuttle doorway to keep it open

long enough to let the
person inside get out...

But it just
opens again.

Some sort of safety
mechanism, like an elevator.

Rush says
he can't override it.

How long do we
have right now?

As it stands...

Rush says if we don't get it
closed, we've got...

...just over an hour.

Bad air's better
than no air.

Guess a day's
better than an hour.

Someone's got to go in
there and close this door.

My head is pounding.

Heartbeat has accelerated.
It's getting harder and harder to breathe,

as our very lives are being
vented out into space.

That is going to
get old very fast.

This needs to be documented.
No one's going to see that.

How do you know?

We made it here.
Someone else could, too.

If we die, maybe this can help them
to find out what happened to us.

Yeah, well,
we're not dead yet.

I'm starting to have
slightly blurred...

- Eli!
- What?

So how are we
going to decide who?

RUSH: I assume we're not
going to get any volunteers.

What's another day
going to buy us?

Time, to find
a way to survive.

May I see the list?

JOHANSEN: I marked the
names of anyone injured.

Right. We have to find out people's
skills, background, experience...

Doesn't take any special skills
to die from asphyxiation!

Look. What I'm saying is,
it shouldn't be someone

with potentially
valuable knowledge

or abilities we might need to
help us survive beyond this.

Are you really suggesting

- what I think...
- Half the people on this ship

already want
to kill you.

I don't care.

You can't ask someone to
sacrifice themselves, period.

Politicians ask military
personnel to sacrifice themselves

for the good of others
all the time.

If someone doesn't go in
there and close that door,

we're all going
to die, period.

Franklin is still working at
the airlock controls locally,

but it doesn't
look good, sir.

Camile's explaining the
situation to everyone on board.

I'll do it.

Sir?

This isn't the kind of thing I can
ask somebody else to volunteer for.

If we're going to make it past
this, we're going to need you, sir.

I don't know about that. You're doing a
pretty good job without me, Lieutenant.

Yeah? Well, look
at the mess we're in.

If that's not proof
that we need you, then...

Look, I'm not sure
anyone should do it.

I don't want someone
sacrificing themselves for me.

I say we figure this out together
while we still have time,

or we all die trying.

I want you to
both listen to me.

It needs to be done,
and I'm doing it.

Look, sir,
you can barely stand.

Help me.

Look, the paralysis
is temporary.

Help me. You know that now.
You will recover.

- Lieutenant, I need your help.
- No, sir.

- I gave you an order.
- I know.

You can have me court-martialed
when we get home,

but I am not going to
help you kill yourself.

My father's not
in his room.

We'll find him.
He does not leave this room.

SCOTT: He can't
have gotten far.

I told him
what was going on.

Greer, this is Scott, come in.
Greer? Greer, do you read?

Senator Armstrong is missing.
He may be headed your way.

He's here.

He's got a gun.

I don't want
to shoot you.

I don't think
you want to shoot me.

Get out of the way.

FRANKLIN: Just give me
a little more time.

Let me try
and fix this.

I don't have much.

ELI: Guys, I'm not seeing any change.
Whatever you just tried,

it's not working!

The problem's
obviously mechanical.

You can't fix it.

Tell me what to do.

Dad! No, wait!

Dad, no! No! No! No!

(MUFFLED) Open the door!

Open the door, please!

I can't!

Please open the door!

(CHLOE CRYING)

He was dead
on his feet.

Dad, no!

(SOFTLY) I love you.

(SOBBING)
Please open the door. No!

Eli! Not him!

There's nothing
I can do for him here.

Help him!
Open the door, please!

Please! No. No! No!

No! No!

No!

(SOBBING)

No!

He can't leave me.

Chloe. Chloe!

Well, at least
he bought us a day.

(CHLOE GRUNTS)

You! You did this! You killed him!
You've killed all of us!

Chloe, stop!
Little help here.

Hey, hey, relax.

Hey, hey, Chloe.

Just get away from me!
All of you!

Miss Armstrong.
You're in shock.

Believe me,
I understand.

Everyone deals with
tragedy in different ways.

You're looking
for someone to blame.

I'm not looking.

JOHANSEN: Hey, hey.

I'm sorry
about your father.

I truly am.

He was a good man, and he certainly
wouldn't have been my choice,

but you must realize,
none of this was my fault.

I didn't create the situation
that forced us here.

There was no other way.

(SOBBING)

Miss Armstrong, I know you don't
want to hear this just now,

but this ship...

This ship could be the most
important discovery mankind has made

since the stargate itself.

You know,
the Icarus Project

was something your father
truly believed in.

Enough to risk his
career to support.

What difference does
it make if we all die?

A number of people died
during the attack on the base.

Some of them
I knew very well.

I'm sure some had
more value than others.

As human beings,
all of them were invaluable.

Look, my point is,
I promise you,

I will do
everything I can

to make sure no one
gave their life in vain.

No one.

Please give me a chance.

Colonel.

(YOUNG SIGHS)

We've lost
Senator Armstrong.

Oh, my God.

He's bought us some time.

To do what?

We're working on it. First up is
trying to dial the gate back home.

Should you even
be on your feet?

No.

Well, I am on my feet,
and right now we're trying to get home.

Camile, I need your help.
You know these people.

I need you to
spread the word.

Try to keep things
as positive as you can.

I can do that.

Good.

CHLOE: I can't believe
my dad is gone.

I watched him die,
and I still just can't accept it.

Tell me about him.

Why?

Man died
so I could live.

I'd like to know
a little more about him.

No matter how tired he was,
or how long he'd worked,

or what was going on
in his life,

he always had time
to listen to me.

I'd go on and on.

He never preached.

He never told me what to do,
even though sometimes I wished he would.

He would just listen.

And then he would tell me
that he loved me.

The best part was if I'd
had a fight with my mom,

he never took sides.

Hmm.

Oh, God. My mom.

He was her whole life.

She probably thinks
we're both dead.

All I know is that
he wanted you to go on.

I know.

I got to get back to the search.
You going to be okay?

I don't know.

Fair enough.

RUSH: Eli?

What?

What are you doing?

I just watched a man die.

Okay?

Don't you even care?

Of course I do,

and I'm also trying to learn as
much as I can, as quickly as I can.

That is, in addition to
running nine separate searches

in the database in the hope of
solving our life-support issues.

Right.

Found anything?

Destiny.

As in ours?

The name of the ship.
Translated from Ancient.

I've also discovered
that they were never here.

I thought this was
an Ancient ship.

It is, but they
sent it out unmanned,

planning to use
the gate to get here

when it was far enough
out into the universe,

but they probably learned
to Ascend before that time.

Learned to what?

Ascension.

It's a process whereby
consciousness converts to energy

that no longer
requires physical form.

That wasn't
in the video.

Well, there's
more than one video.

We should get back to work.

Sorry.

Sir, I think I got it.

It wasn't even that hard to find.
It's right here in the dialing program.

You're sure?

Yes, it's an
eight-symbol address.

You mean you can dial
this thing back to Earth?

There's no point
of origin indicated,

but still, there's only
36 symbols on this gate.

I'm assuming the ninth symbol represents
some X-factor distance equation.

Well, I don't care.
Start dialing.

Sir, don't we want to bring
Dr. Rush in on this?

YOUNG: Well, you said this
wasn't that hard to find?

No.

Well, then he probably already
knows and didn't tell us.

Who is this
Lucian Alliance anyway?

Where did that
come from?

I just want to know
who to blame for this.

They're a human coalition made up
from various Milky Way planets,

formed in the power vacuum left
behind when the Goa'uld were defeated.

They're criminals mostly.
A street gang with starships.

How'd they find out
about Icarus?

Wasn't it supposed to be,
like, double secret?

I suspect there was
a leak somewhere.

Someone working
on the inside.

The legend surrounding
the ninth chevron

has been floating around our
galaxy for some time now.

We found that it meant various
things to different cultures.

Some said it was a key
to the universe itself.

And once unlocked,
you would gain untold power.

Now, if the Lucian Alliance
knew that we'd discovered

the address and a means to
dial, they'd want it.

This ship is a source
of untold power?

No, no, not literally.
It's more to do with what it's doing.

The information it's
capable of gathering.

If you know
how to use it.

Yeah.

That's what you're
after, isn't it?

Why you risked everything
to get here.

You think this ship is going
to make you all-powerful

or something crazy
like that?

Eli...

If I could find a way to send
all these people home safely

and then return with
a properly skilled team

to pursue this mission as intended,
why wouldn't I want to do that?

I don't know.

Uh-huh.
Now turn that thing off.

You saw that?

(ALARM BEEPING)

- Oh, no, no, no, no.
- What?

Someone's dialing the gate.

Colonel Young.
You're up.

Nice to see you, too, Rush.

I did order you
to report to me.

Yes, but what
are you doing?

We're trying
to dial Earth.

RUSH: That would be
a mistake.

YOUNG: Riley thinks he's
found the address for home.

RUSH: His understanding of
Ancient is marginal at best.

RILEY: With respect, Doctor, I know
enough to recognize a reference to Earth.

He says the address wasn't
that hard to find, Rush.

No, no. This is a complete
waste of power we may need.

We have the address back.
All we need is the right point of origin.

And we've got 36 tries.

We barely have enough power
to operate the main systems.

This ship simply doesn't have
the capability to dial Earth.

You see,
that's news to me.

He didn't tell
me that, either.

Well, I've only
just learned myself,

and you know what
I've been doing.

Even if it doesn't work,

the people aboard this ship
need to see us at least try.

So, what, you're going to
drain what little power we have

for the sake of morale?

How ridiculous.

(SHIP GROANS)

What was that?

(BEEPING)

YOUNG: Anyone near
the observation deck?

Colonel, it looks like
we've dropped out of FTL.

RILEY: Because we
were draining power?

No, no.

If I'm right, the gate should
begin to dial any moment.

How did you know that?

The ship
detected a stargate

on a planet within range
that may have what we need.

What? How the hell are there
even stargates out here?

The Ancients sent out a number of
unmanned ships ahead of this one.

They're programed to gather
data, resources,

to manufacture stargates and
deposit them in habitable worlds.

Any relevant information is relayed
back here to help plot the course.

You're telling me that this
ship knows we're in trouble?

Yes, because
I told it we were.

Essentially,
we're flying on autopilot.

This ship may have stopped when
it was within range of a stargate

regardless of our need.

But I have reason
to believe...

YOUNG: So, what we need is on
the other side of that wormhole?

An educated guess, yes.

There's only
one way to find out.

RILEY: Sir, you can't do that.
We have no idea what's on the other side.

We can use the Kino
to find out.

I expect that's the
purpose of this device.

I'm getting readings
over here.

What have we got?

Temperature, gravity,
atmosphere composition,

barometric pressure.

Oxygen, nitrogen, very little
CO2, extremely low humidity.

Habitable,
but just barely.

Good enough.

BRODY: Looks like four other
addresses came up here, too.

They could be other
planets within range.

Maybe we should think about
dialing them up and seeing...

No, no, no,
they're locked out.

The ship chose this one.

The stargate is open,
all we have to do is step through.

What we have to do
is put a team together.

Dr. Rush.

RUSH: Looks like our
time might be limited.

YOUNG: What is it?

It's a countdown.
Just over 12 hours left.

What happens then?

I suspect we
jump back into FTL.

Palmer is a geologist.
Obviously she should go.

Franklin and Brody are the best
of the rest of what we have.

Thanks for the
ringing endorsement.

He didn't even
mention me.

YOUNG: Franklin goes.
The others stay.

We're still going to need good people
working on the problem from this end.

ELI: I'd like to go.

Really?

If I can help, then...

Colonel Young, please.

What? You don't think
I can handle it?

He's going.

I've been
off-world before.

You have made a habit out of
pulling our asses out of the fire.

Eli, you want to go,
you're going.

The only one I'm questioning
right now is you, Dr. Rush.

(SCOFFS)

Well, besides Palmer, I'm the only
one who knows what we're looking for.

We have 12 hours to find what we
need and then get back on the ship.

You're sure
you can't stop it?

No, we're just along
for the ride for now.

Then we may all be
better off on the planet.

Well, that's another
reason why I should go.

Someone to assess whether long-term
survival there is even an option.

Right. Okay.

I want everyone clear that Scott
is in charge of this mission.

Let's gear up, let's find whatever
supplies we have, and move out.

Sir, about Eli...

He volunteered.

He's not trained for this.

Just like a lot of people
we got on the ship.

I'm going to need to know
what they're made of.

He'll slow us down.

Well, if he does,
you send him back to the gate.

Listen, if we're going to make it, and
I'm not just talking the next few hours,

we're going to need everyone
on board to step up.

Lieutenant.

Keep an eye on Rush.

Think there
could be dinosaurs?

Anything's possible.

(CHUCKLES)

We'll be back, sir.

Good luck.

Hot.

(ELI LAUGHS)

Cool.

SCOTT: Make sure we can
dial back to the ship.

FRANKLIN: Already on it.

PALMER: Looks like gypsum.
That would be good.

Why?

We're looking for
calcium carbonate.

RUSH: Calcite.

Gypsum is calcium sulfate,
which is 36% calcium carbonate.

ELI: Hmm.

Huh. It dissolves.

Are you saying we can use this
sand to fix the scrubbers?

That would be convenient.
PALMER: (SIGHS) No.

RUSH: Well, it's a fair indication
that the components may exist nearby.

PALMER: For the sake of
portability and efficiency,

I'm hoping to find high-concentration
granular limestone.

We are looking for
the dried lake bed

or salt-water body
all this sand came from.

It's a desert.

Lime is formed mostly from the
remains of marine organisms.

- Huh.
- Are you saying there was life here?

RUSH: Not likely anything
we've seen before.

Yeah, the water
may be gone now,

but this desert was formed by
H2O evaporating on a playa floor,

causing gypsum to be deposited in a
fine crystalline form called selenite.

Where are you going?

Higher ground.

Is that supposed to happen?

PALMER: If this sand is high
enough in calcite concentration,

the solution
would absorb the acid.

- Right.
- The liquid would turn clear.

It's not.

We're good!

This is Scott.

Unfortunately,
there's nothing useful

in the immediate
vicinity of the gate.

YOUNG: You have 12 hours,
Lieutenant. Make them count.

Copy that.

We're moving out!

Too bad we can't
just use this sand.

There certainly
is enough of it.

(YOUNG BREATHING HEAVILY)

- James.
- Yes, sir.

I'm looking for
Chloe Armstrong.

She's still in there.
She hasn't come out.

How is she?

How is she?

How about asking
how I'm doing?

Well, you're trained for this, Airman.
Give me a...

She just watched
her father die.

My father may as well
be dead to me, too,

'cause I'm stuck in some galaxy
that only God knows about.

Yeah. Okay.

You know, I was supposed
to go back to Iraq again,

but they said that this would
be a better opportunity.

We're all going
to die out here.

Hey!

I want you
to listen to me.

I don't want to hear
that kind of talk.

Do you understand?

'Cause we're going to work...
We're going to work this out.

Just letting you know
how I'm doing, Colonel.

Since you asked.

(DOOR OPENS)

I'm fine.

No, you're not, and neither am
I, but we're...

We're still alive
because of what he did.

Look, for what
it's worth...

Well, it's worth a lot.

You know, as long as we're still
here, I promise you...

Colonel, I've edited enough
of my father's speeches

to know what
you're going to say.

You don't have a clue what I was
going to say, because I don't.

We...

We brought along an Ancient device.
Communication stones.

They allow us to...

Yeah, I know
what they are.

Good. Well, I'm about to use one of
them to report to my superiors on Earth,

tell them our situation.

I want to tell her myself.

You've been sitting here
since Rush made contact.

Let somebody else
take a shift.

(EXHALES)

I'm not leaving this chair.

I've been on this project
for the last six months,

and I'll be damned if...

Colonel?

This is strange.

MEHTA: Dr. Rush,
is that you?

No, it's Colonel Young.

I need you to put me in a
room with General O'Neill.

I'm going to need you, too.

JOHANSEN: Sir,
I told you not to get up.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

TELFORD: What did
he do to himself?

He's got cracked ribs,
more bruises than I can count

and a concussion that
resulted in neuropraxia.

Oh, that's just great.

Chloe?

Dr. Mehta.

Can you help me, please?

(GROANING)

You know, I had some of my favorite
arguments with your father.

Are you saying
you won some?

Depends on who you ask.

Listen, Major Green'll be
escorting you to see your mother.

Please give her
my condolences.

Thank you.

Yeah.

So, how is it
going out there really?

I don't know what
Rush has told you.

We may not have
much time left.

The ship's very old.
It's falling apart.

- Fix it.
- We're trying.

Even if we can get
the life support working,

we don't have
much food and water.

Then go get some.

We're not supposed
to be there, sir.

These are the wrong people
in the wrong place,

and as a group,
they're just not qualified.

Oh, please.

I wasn't qualified to lead that
first team through the stargate...

I understand that, sir.

In the past
dozen years or so,

we've sent hundreds of teams
through that thing...

(SIGHS)

And I think
the bottom line is,

none of us
are qualified.

I just think we're going
to get to a point very soon

where everyone on board should
get a chance to say goodbye.

Understood.

Save it.

FRANKLIN:
That's not very smart.

Temperatures like these,
the human body needs at least...

GREER: Walk, don't talk.

Just FYI, he's right about the
whole human body and water...

- Eli!
- Walk, don't...

Oh. Look. More sand.

FRANKLIN: This is pointless.
We should go back.

PALMER:
We just got here.

I still think we should be checking out
the other planets in range of the ship.

I still think you're wrong.
The solution's here.

(SIGHS)

ELI: I know.
It was a mirage,

but when we were walking
over that last dune,

I thought I saw the Statue of Liberty
sticking half out of the sand.

Just for a second there.

I was all ready
to yell, "Damn you!

"Damn you all to hell!"

Oh, come on.
That was funny.

Was it?

Because it would mean
we were really on Earth,

but in the future,
and the apes had taken over

and then buried the Statue
of Liberty for some reason.

Eli? Have a drink.

Greer, hold up! Hold up!

- This isn't going to work.
GREER: Not if we keep stopping.

I'm saying
we need to split up.

Fine with me.

I agree. Franklin,
you should come with me.

Nah. No, no, no,
you're with me and Greer.

Sun's been moving that way,
we'll call it west.

Eli, Franklin, Palmer,
and Curtis, you head that way.

We'll test every
20 minutes or so.

After two hours,
you head southeast.

That should take you back
in the direction of the gate.

Whoa, wait a second.

(CHUCKLES) Do we really think that
splitting up is the best idea?

I say we head
straight back.

There's no point in crossing over the
same territory we've just crossed.

Or we could just
stick together.

Look, Matt, I'm sorry.

I just have this really,
really sick feeling

that you're going
to go that way,

and we're going
to go this way.

Eli, I need someone that I can
trust to lead the second team, okay?

That is you.

Curtis is a good soldier.
He's a tough guy.

He's not going to let
anything happen to you.

Truth is, I'm slowing you down
and you want to get rid of me.

I'm doing what I think will
best accomplish this mission.

You asked to come.

I'm telling you how you can help me.
Now suck it up.

Yeah. Okay.

Okay, guys, we're going this way.
Move out!

SCOTT: Radio if you find the lake
bed, we'll double back.

ELI: When you see the Statue of
Liberty, you know what to say, right?

Right. Now we can
make some time.

She's here?
Right now?

Yes, ma'am,
but as I've explained...

Chloe!

Mrs. Armstrong...

I know I look different
and I sound different,

but it's me.

Mom, please.
I have something to tell you.

Mom... Stop!

(SNIFFLES)

I'm sorry. It's just...

The thought that you're
actually on some ship

so far away,
I can't even imagine.

Mom...

Just tell me
you're coming home.

I don't know.

Mom, please!

The ship is
old and damaged.

We were losing air
and somebody had to...

He's dead.

He's dead, isn't he?

(SOBBING)

MEHTA: Where is everyone?

Able bodies are
searching the ship

for anything that might have
CO2 sequestration properties,

and the rest are
in crew quarters.

Colonel, we were able to
dial out to the planet again.

JOHANSEN: Colonel Young and Chloe
are using the communication stones.

This is Colonel Telford,
Dr. Mehta.

Uh... Right. Okay.

Did you make radio contact
with the off-world team?

Yes, nothing to report yet.
They've split up.

How much time before the
ship jumps back to FTL?

Roughly nine hours.

Dial out every 20 minutes.
Maintain regular contact.

We do have power issues
to be aware of.

Dialing the gate is
a significant drain

on what seems to be limited
resources at this point.

The away mission is
priority one right now.

- Sir?
- I'm fine.

I understand that there are
other stargates in range.

Four other addresses
came up in the system,

but we seem to be
locked out from here.

Well, have you tried
working around it?

Dr. Rush didn't think
that was a good idea.

I think it makes sense to know what
our options are, so do what you can.

There has to be a good reason why
these addresses are being disqualified.

If I wasn't being clear,
I was giving you an order.

If there are good reasons,
find out exactly what they are.

Let's keep moving,
I want to see more.

You should rest.

Lieutenant.

Sir, Colonel Young's body
needs time to recover.

TELFORD: Give me
something for the pain.

The body feels pain for a reason.
I would rather not mask it.

Just do it, Lieutenant. From the sound
of things, you need my help here.

All right, come on.
Let's go.

You better save
some of that.

We need to slow down.

We need to cover
more ground.

RUSH: It's going to be impossible to
maintain this pace on the way back.

GREER: Maybe for you.

How tedious.
Little boys playing soldier.

Well, I'm sorry.
I've no interest in playing your game.

I'm not playing anything,

I'm trying to save the lives
of everyone aboard that ship.

If we continue this pace,
we're going to die out here.

Yeah, maybe we will.

Light years away from the admiring eyes
of your father, or your drill sergeant,

or whoever's approval it is
you so desperately seek.

- How dare you!
- Get up and move.

Hey, did you see that?

What?

I don't know.
Nothing.

Let's move.

One hour. One hour,
and then we start circling back.

All right, fine.

Just hold that there.

Thank you.

(GROANS)

What did you...

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

That was supposed to be for the pain.
What did you give to him?

A strong sedative,
which we are desperately short on

and I should not have had to
use just so that Colonel Young

can return to a body
in working condition.

You are out of line,
Lieutenant.

Disregarding the health of another
human being is out of line.

I am well within my rights
as ranking medical officer.

He'll be out
an hour or two.

Well, what am I
supposed to do?

I don't care.
I have other patients to attend to.

Something wrong?

No, I'm fine.

Good a place as any
to stop and test.

I take it
that's not good?

No.

I don't know.
I think that...

Hey, guys. Another
negative over here.

I'll radio Scott and
tell him we're moving on.

Uh, yeah, but that's not
what's going down.

It's not?

No.

There are four other viable
addresses in this thing.

I think I found an override that'll
allow us to dial from here...

Yeah, but...

Look around.
This planet is a dead zone.

ELI: But...
- We should've been trying

to dial these other
planets from the start.

- Rush said...
- We don't care what Rush said.

We don't trust him.

Rush doesn't
want us all to die.

That doesn't mean we trust him
to make the right decisions.

You, too?

What about the lake bed?

It could be hundreds
of miles from here.

We could be blowing our only chance
at finding a decent place to evac.

Maybe the ship did bring us here
because there's lime on this planet.

For all we know,

the Ancients had a way of
locating it that we don't.

For that matter,
I'm sure they could've stopped the ship

for longer than 12 hours to find it
and recover it with the proper tools.

The fact is, the Ancients wouldn't
have let the life-support system

get that screwed up
in the first place.

Rush is set
on fixing the ship.

He's deaf to
any other logic.

We need to find a planet
we can survive on.

This might be
our last chance.

That ship jumps to FTL, we could
be dead before it drops out again.

We're going to the gate.

Give me the remote.

(GUN COCKS)

Or not.
That was optional.

Give me the Kino.

Isn't this mutiny?

I'm not sure that applies on
the other side of the universe.

CURTIS: Besides,
my orders were to keep on searching

and then head back
to the gate.

Are we done?

We're done.

CURTIS: Go ahead and tell Scott we
headed for the gate if you want.

My radio doesn't
seem to be working.

We'll let you know if we find a
planet everyone can survive on.

That remote was our only
way back to the ship.

You'll have to
get another one.

Gotta keep going.

Here. Take it.

I have my own.

No, no. I can't go on.

I'm never going
to make it back.

I know it's here.
You have to find it. Take it.

We're going to
leave him here?

I'll make my way
back to the gate.

- Go with him.
- I'm not leaving you here alone.

Make sure
he gets back alive.

What difference
does it make?

Because if I don't
find what we need,

he's going to be the one to find
some other way to save his own ass,

and yours
along with it.

You're losing it.

I'll be okay.

ON RADIO: Scott,
this is Eli. Come in.

If you can hear me,
please respond.

This is Scott,
what's up?

We have a problem.

Franklin, Curtis,
and Palmer have given up

and are headed back to
the gate to try dialing

the other addresses
in the remote.

They also have the Kino.

They don't think we're
going to find the lime here.

They want to look for another
planet that will support life.

They're going to
get themselves killed.

Don't we need the remote
to get back to the ship?

That's not the point.
A few hours is nowhere near enough time

to determine whether
a planet is even safe,

let alone viable
for sustaining life.

The ship. The ship's our only
real hope of ever getting home.

Stop them if you can.

I'll turn back
when I have to.

- Yes, sir.
- Go!

You lead.

I can't lose you, too.
I can't.

No, you won't.
I'm going to be okay.

Thank you, Martha.

Here, Mom.
Have some tea.

I'm sorry, excuse me.

Miss Armstrong,
we better be going soon.

You get my
daughter home.

Everyone is doing the best they
can, I assure you.

That's not good enough.

Mom, it's not his fault.

I'm a personal friend of the
President and of the First Lady.

- Yes, ma'am.
- You tell your superiors

if anything
happens to her,

I will go public
with what I know.

Mom...

I'm sorry, she's upset.

My husband gave his
life for my daughter.

You get her back to me,
or the whole world is going to know

what has really been
going on these past years.

(WIND WHOOSHING)

RUSH: I need water.

We're almost there.

I thought since I gave Scott my
canteen, we'd share.

And you were
wrong about that.

I should've known.

Yeah? You think you know me pretty
well, don't you?

I helped choose the
personnel for Icarus Base.

I read your file.

And neither you nor
Captain Marvel back there

were on my list,
I can tell you.

(GREER EXCLAIMS)

You think I care?

Give me some water.

Keep walking.

You think just because
you were born poor

that it gives you the right
to be angry at the world.

- How pathetic.
- Mmm, yeah, yeah.

You think that's
why I'm angry?

If it wasn't for the army,
you'd be in jail, or worse.

(LAUGHING)

That's what all you
rich people think.

Rich? My father worked in
the shipyards in Glasgow.

I earned a scholarship to Oxford
while I was working two jobs.

I have earned the right
to make decisions

without explaining myself
to you or anyone else.

You give me
some of that water!

Keep walking.

You give me
some of that water!

Don't you ever
touch me.

Give me some...

(BOTH GRUNTING)

And you do that again,
and I'm gonna put a bullet

- in your face.
- Oh, really?

(GUN COCKS)

I don't think so.
You need me.

Otherwise, you'd have
gladly done it by now.

Right now, I pray to the God above that
dehydration will shut you the hell up.

Walk! Or die here!
It's your choice,

Mr. Decision-maker.

(GREER LAUGHS)

Looks like it's
worth a shot to me.

Let's do it.

ELI: Wait!

Stop!

Look, it's not perfect,
but it's better than here.

Vegetation, water, air.
It's not too late for you to come with us.

- Don't go.
FRANKLIN: We'll dial back

when we know it's safe
to evacuate everyone.

ELI: You'll never
get back home.

You don't know that.

Maybe there's a way we can use the
gate system to connect the dots.

There has to be a reason the
ship locked out those addresses!

Don't. Please.

(GRUNTS)

(GUN FIRES)

Shoot him!

(GROANS)

(GATE CLOSING)

Why did you do that?

He told me to.

(GROANING)

- He saved his life.
- By shooting him?

He'll live.

You just stranded
Curtis and Palmer.

We'll send them another remote.
I wasn't taking any chances.

Where's Scott?

RUSH: Still looking
for limestone.

ELI: It's almost halftime.

We only have six hours
before the ship leaves.

Lieutenant, this is Greer.
Come in.

I hope he's
turned back by now.

Lieutenant! Come in.

You must keep going,
my boy. Don't give up.

I don't need you
to tell me that.

(CHUCKLES)

I'm not going to let anyone else
down the way I let you down.

You really don't have to
follow me around to remind me.

He has his plan
for all of us.

He's either
out of radio range

or he's lying
face-down in the sand,

dead, or soon to be.

I'm going back for him.

Well, that's great.
Suicide.

I'm not leaving him
out here.

- I'll go with you.
- No, no, you're just gonna slow me down.

Look, this man has to get back to the ship.
He needs medical attention.

Dial. He can take Franklin back.
You wait here for me.

You have five hours to
find him and get back here.

(SCOFFS) Well,
it's not been a pleasure knowing you.

- What do I need that for?
- Just in case.

In case what? I don't even
know how to fire this thing.

You'd better be here.

I will.

I have a gun.

(ELI CHUCKLES)

Why do I feel like
I've been drugged?

Oh. Good to
have you back, sir.

(GROANS) Son of a...

What the hell
was Telford doing?

Well... You're
going to need this.

BRODY: There they are.

RILEY: Hurry up, hurry up.
Come on, help him, help him.

BRODY: What happened?

(PANTING) Greer...
Greer shot him. Water. Water.

Hey.

That was my ration
for the day.

What's going on?

(GATE WHOOSHING)

Oh, we've had a lovely day
at the beach. How about you?

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(SOBBING)

I have sinned, Father.
I've failed you.

I've failed him.

I've failed myself.

We have redemption
through his blood.

Curtis? Palmer?

This is Eli.
If you can hear me, please come in.

Curtis. Palmer.
Please, respond.

PRIEST: Do you love her?

SCOTT: She's not
going to have it.

You're certain?

She's 16. We barely
even know each other.

What are you
going to do?

I don't know
about anything.

I thought
He was my calling.

But now...

I am sorry.

Why? I'm the one
who's weak.

It's my fault.

No, it isn't.

It's not yours.

(EXCLAIMS)

This is Scott!
Come in!

I found it.
I found the lake bed!

I've got the lime!

Oh, my God.

If you can hear me, wait.
Just wait, I'm coming!

Eli.

Which way?

Let's move out.

Scott...

Come on. Ready? Drink.
Come on, come on, come on, man.

Take the bag.

There's no time!

- You have to take it.
- Yes, you can.

No, I can't make it.

Get the hell up!
Come on!

I can't make it.

(GREER GRUNTS)

I can't carry
you and this!

Get your weak ass up!
Come on!

Come on, soldier!

Less than three minutes
before the ship jumps again.

Incoming!

I'll stay.

It's okay. I got it.

Sorry, sir.

You did your best.

Less than one minute.

(MUTTERING)

I see them!

They're carrying something!

GREER: We've got it!
Don't go! We've got it!

They've got the lime!
And they're not going to make it.

Forty seconds.

Give me the radio.

Eli, I want you to stick your arm
into the event horizon of the puddle.

Seriously?

Are you sure?

No. But I'm betting there's
some kind of safety protocol

that prevents someone
getting cut off en route.

And what if there isn't?

Twenty seconds.

Eli, do it now!

Come on, man. Come on.

Come on!

Five, four, three, two, one!

Eli, drink.

YOUNG: Scott, look at me.
Lieutenant, look at me.

Look at me! Look at me.

Well done, Eli.
Well done.

I brought you
some water.

I still have some.

You really need
to drink it.

I'm fine.

Everyone appreciates
what you did.

Rush say how long
it will last?

He's not sure.

How are you?

My parents died in a car crash
when I was four years old.

I'm sorry.

And the priest
who raised me,

he pretty much drank himself
to death when I was 16.

My God.

I'm sorry. I'm not trying to
diminish what you're going through.

I... I know.

I think my point is,

there's just some things
you never get over.

That's just
the way it is.

You go on through.

As best as you can.
