Reliable power generation is
one of our greatest concerns.

With this project we hope
soon to convert and utilise

the intense heat trapped
beneath our planet's surface.

Geothermal energy.
What, using this?

Do you have any
idea how complex...

McKay.

I'm sure it'll
work like a charm.

Looks like you're
accomplishing great things here.

Since the last wraith culling we
have diligently rebuilt our society.

Are you not concerned you
will attract their attention?

Yes, but we refuse
to let that stop us

from striving to
reach our potential.

To do othennise would
mean victory for them.

However, we currently are
working on a viable defence.

Defence?

Really?

We've been here two days
before you mention that?

I had to learn that
you could be trusted.

Are you talking about
a defensive weapon?

You could say that.

Something we hope will protect
us from another wraith culling.

You expect it to happen again?

Of course.

But if they return as
they have historically,

they won't be here for 50 years.

50 years, you say?

How about that weapon?

Yes, if you'll
just come this way.

You haven't told him we woke
the wraith from hibernation.

Well, I really haven't
had the chance.

We've been here two days.

One and a half, really.

Major, they're not expecting
the wraith for another 50 years.

They could show up at any time.

Why don't you tell them?

Reminds you of
area 51, doesn't it?

Circa 1918.

Area 51 wasn't
around in 1918, sir.

The area was. True.

These people couldn't
have a weapon...

Weapons come in
all shapes and sizes.

Major Sheppard, I think
you'll find this intriguing.

Okay. I'm intrigued. What is it?

Something that we
hope will one day

make us completely
immune to the wraith.

Druhin says their drug is
several years from being finished.

Given their current
level of technology,

that could be an understatement.

They only believe they're
close to a breakthrough.

You saw their
entire civilisation

is based on the
completion of that goal.

I would not underestimate them.

Do we know for sure that the
wraith are an immediate threat?

We can probably bet
they don't have 50 years.

Hence major Sheppard has
generously offered the hoffans our help.

Has he?

The fact is if
they're onto something.

Maybe we can
speed up the process.

Okay, major, you have a go.

But if the drug is
just a pipe dream...

Dr Beckett's
volunteered to help us.

Oh, he has, huh?

He will.

It's not that I
mind lending a hand.

Of course not.

You're a generous man.

But it's the principle.

You can't volunteer someone
without consulting them first.

That's not even volunteering.

It's being pressed into service.

And I'm not...

In the military.
I can't give you orders.

He won't go
through the Stargate.

He's worse than dr McCoy.

Who?

The TV character that
dr Beckett plays.

Converting a human
body into energy

and sending it through
a wormhole, insanity.

How often do you go
to an alien planet?

I was already on one.

Should you be
messing with that stuff?

I know what I'm doing.

They've mastered a few basics.

Biochemistry, physiology,

perhaps even some form
of molecular biology.

Fairly impressive...

Our people's legacy.

This room represents hundreds
of years of medical knowledge.

I am perna, chief
scientist for the project.

John Sheppard.

Oh, and this is Teyla
and lieutenant Ford.

Carson. Beckett. Doctor.
I mean, call me Carson.

I'm dr McKay. Dr Rodney McKay.

I hope you find our
facilities suitable.

Oh, they're charming.
Perfectly charming.

Long ago this
city was a testament

to our imagination,
our creative spirit,

to endless possibility.

How long ago was that?

We have been forced to rebuild
many times, never to our potential.

That is why perfecting
the drug is so important.

It is more than a defence
against the wraith.

It is our future.

With respect, you
cannot prevent the culling.

Neamm of existence.

A fact we challenge.

We will always seek to
end the cycle of destruction.

The wraith will prevent any
race from advancing too far.

You figure you can beat 'em?

Yes. Through knowledge.

A number of archives like this
are hidden throughout the city.

Their existence is
known only to a few.

This is very impressive.

We preserve the
accomplishments of each generation

before they are wiped
out by the wraith.

So everything your
people learned is in here.

And in other identical archives.

In case they destroy one.
You guys are serious about this.

Standing on the shoulders
of our forefathers.

How long have you worked
on this wraith drug?

150 years ago our
scientists were close

to creating a viable prototype,

but died before
seeing its fruition.

You're hoping that if this
world's no good to them,

they'll move on?

The wraith cannot possibly
perceive us as a threat.

To tell you the truth, I don't
know how they would react.

If they choose to wipe you out
of existence, you will be helpless.

We cannot hope
to control their actions.

We can only do what we can

to end a cycle that has
gone on for far too long.

His name was farrol mylan.

Before he died
in the last culling,

he was one of our most
celebrated researchers.

He was the one who found it.

Found what?

The key.

His journals tell of one man who
survived an encounter with the wraith.

Farrol and his team discovered that
this man possessed a unique protein.

He could resist
the chemical released by

the wraith to drain
life from their victims.

After painstaking
trial and error...

Farrol made a copy
of the protein.

He was eventually able to
create a prototype of a drug

to interfere with the
wraith feeding process.

And it worked?

He was killed
before it could be used.

And it's been your job to make
certain his work wasn't in vain.

Quite the responsibility.

It is a great honour.

How do you know that this farrol

wasn't just
embellishing his results?

Or making them up. All you
have to go on are his notes.

He and his team worked
until the last possible moment.

They knew the wraith ships
were overhead

and worked through the night,

hoping to provide
one more insight,

one last thread of knowledge.

Not for themselves, but for the
generation that would survive.

10,000 soldiers gave their lives

to give them
those last few hours.

The last words of farrol's
journal are known to all hoffans.

I meant no disrespect, perna.

It's all right.

More than just his
journals survived the culling.

His research materials
were safeguarded as well,

including carefully
preserved wraith cell samples,

which we still use
in our work today.

Please.

See for yourself.

That's incredible.

I saw it with my own eyes.

In a petri dish.

We are talking about
150-year-old wraith cells.

For all we know they could
be immune to the drug by now.

I don't think so.

I ran a few tests of my own

using cells from the wraith arm

major Sheppard
brought from athos.

The results were the same.
Near complete resistance.

They've got something. I'm
more surprised than anyone.

So what do you recommend?

That we take their
work to the next level.

I've informed the hoffans
of our guest in the brig.

You realise what
you're asking for?

I do.

Anything I should know about?

No, sir, he's been quiet.

Still trying
to make you see things?

He's given up on that.

I didn't think
he'd last this long.

Hello again, major Sheppard.

Sorry if I woke you.

Just came by to see if there
was anything you needed.

Magazine, fresh towels.

You hide your
fear poorly, major.

We've been talking
for a couple of weeks now

and I don't even know your name.

You guys do have names?

Let me guess. Steve?

I am your death.

That is all you need to know.

I prefer Steve.

What do you hope
to gain from this?

Just trying to bridge the gap between
our cultures, get to know you better.

And trying to figure
out how to keep your kind

from sucking
the life out of people.

Even if I told you
what you want to know,

it would change nothing.

You are doomed, as are any
humans that stand in our way.

Can't be a nice way to die.

Hungry, slow,

knowing your food source
is just out of reach.

Why do you keep me here?

I need to know
what we're up against.

For example,

how many of those hive ships
have you got and where are they?

You have nothing
to offer me in return.

We could talk about
easing your hunger,

Steve.

You would never sacrifice
one of your own kind.

And yet it is all that stands

between you and the
information you seek.

Using living wraith cells is our
only recourse at this juncture.

Without them we have no way
of knowing if the drug is viable.

You said it worked on the
cells of the severed wraith arm.

It did,

but those were already in
a partially decayed state.

We need live samples.

With new samples you think
it's possible to create a prototype?

Given enough time, yes, ldo.

He's got a point.
The hoffans are obsessed.

Thank you, Rodney.

I agree.

But their obsession
may be their undoing.

Even if they do undo,
it'd be good for us.

Wouldn't you want to be immune?

Not if it meant the lives
the wraith might spare.

This drug would only be of value

if everyone everywhere
possessed the same immunity.

There's a thought
worth pursuing.

I agree.

Major, have you made any
progress with your prisoner?

Not yet, but he just blinked.

He blinked? What does that mean?

He's still holding on, but he's
indicated to me that he may break soon.

And he indicated
this to you by blinking?

Yes.

No offence, major, but so
far he hasn't told you a thing.

He could linger
this way for months

and ultimately
we'll learn nothing.

The wraith could be
on their way to hoff.

If your prisoner holds the
key to the creation of this drug,

should we not take
advantage of this?

How could we get
the sample off him safely?

We possess the weapons
used in his capture.

It would be a simple matter
of incapacitating him again.

So, then, it's possible?

It's possible.

Hi, Steve.

Bye, Steve.

Doctor.

Is he... you're certain he's...

He's down, doc. Do your thing.

Almost looks peaceful,
doesn't he?

Peaceful?
You're out of your mind.

I have never seen
devices such as these.

The work you've done
refining the drug has been good.

With all this,
we can make it better.

Your biggest problem is
that the test inoculations

failed to show enough presence
in human cells to be effective.

We need a better
delivery system.

Exactly.

We'll recreate the key
protein in the serum

and work our way up from there.

If we can avoid re-engineering
it from a natural source

and make an entirely
synthetic version,

it should increase
the efficiency.

Such a thing is possible?

Anything's possible
if you give it a go.

Come on, then. A bald
head is soon shaved.

You speak differently
than the others.

You noticed that, did you?

Sorry if I confuse you.
Trust me, where I come from,

it all makes perfect sense.

What is it like?

Scofland?
Oh, I think it's beautiful.

But I'm told it's something
of an acquired taste.

I meant your world.

It must be so peaceful there,
knowing the wraith will not come.

You'd be surprised
how not peaceful it is.

We're spoiled rotten,
now that I think of it.

You miss it.
I'm sorry for enquiring.

Oh, no. Don't be, love.

One can see the various
refraction changes

required to complete
the preliminary stage required

to boil down the base material.

Perna.

100% cellular penetration in all
five test inoculations. Incredible.

There's still a lot
of data to be analysed,

but the initial
results are promising.

Dr Beckett's efforts have
advanced the project by decades.

Perna's formula
was right on track.

It was a matter of changing
its molecular design

to be better
absorbed by the body.

This is an enormous victory
for our people.

I don't know how to thank you.

No need. Of course,
it's only a preliminary.

How soon until you can set
up the next stage of testing?

You'll have a schedule
later today.

I'm sorry. Next stage?

Your report makes it
clear that the project

is ready to proceed
to its next phase.

We want to test the serum's
effectiveness against your prisoner.

You support this?

He's gonna die,
so we might as well

make good use of
him while he's alive.

The Geneva convention prohibits

using prisoners for
scientific experiments.

No offence, doc, but had the wraith
attended the Geneva convention,

they would have tried
to feed on everyone there.

Beckett's report
indicates we have no idea

of the long-term
effect on humans.

We know what the long-term
effects of wraith culling are.

We're talking
about putting a human

in the same room as
a starving wraith.

Once we start down that road...

Which road did you
think we were on?

Not this one.

At least not this fast.

Having spent time with
the prisoner, I don't pity him.

He's gonna die anyway.

This drug could
be useful someday.

Someday.

The point is, we don't get a
lot of opportunities like this.

Do you know how obsessed
the hoffans are?

When they found out we
had a live wraith prisoner...

He's going to die.

I tried to feed him live stuff,

but apparently there's
only one item on his menu.

What about the test subject?
If the drug fails...

We're not just grabbing anybody.

The test subject is a terminally ill
patient who has volunteered himself.

These are not exactly
the type of decisions

I expected to make
on this expedition.

Do it.

Hi, Steve.

More samples?

I was thinking
more of a field trip.

You want sustenance,
I want information.

You are incapable
of offering such a trade.

You tell me something
of value, I let you eat.

That's the deal.
Take it or leave it.

Very well.

Are they ready?

Major Sheppard is loading
the prisoner into jumper two.

Sergeant bates is standing by for
their arrival at the rendezvous site.

Jumper two, what's your status?

Cosy in here. Ready to depart.

Be safe, major.

That's the plan.

Jumper two,
you are go for launch.

Roger that.

Dial it up.

This isn't supposed to be fun.

Perna explained to me
about your illness.

I want you to know
how sorry I am.

I wish there was something
I could do for you.

It's my time, dr Beckett.

I'm at peace with my fate.

It's important you know

that we may be talking
aboutalessthan peaceful ending.

I have explained to merell
in great detail what may befall him.

You should know this drug
has only worked in a laboratory simulation.

We don't know for certain
what will happen.

Even if it doesn't work, you'll
learn something of value,

how to perfect it in the future.

Possibly, but that's no
reason for you to face that creature.

Dr Beckett, I'm not afraid.

No matter what happens,
my death will have meaning.

Is that not something
we all strive for,

to die knowing we
made a difference?

I want to do this.

Please don't deny me the
chance to help my people.

What do you think?

It goes against
everything I believe in.

There's an oath
among medical people.

It begins, "first, do no harm."

Important words to you.

More than words, perna.

"The battle rages at the very
threshold of our laboratory now.

"We know that these few final
hours have been dearly purchased,

"yet our concentration
has not waned.

"We cannot hope
to save ourselves,

"but we can hope
that one last insight,

"one last revelation
before we die

"may prevent this terrible
day from happening again."

Farrol's last journal entry.

More than words, Carson.

I understand that. I do.

But there are too many unknowns.

We need time to determine...

There is no time.

Are you so afraid
of making a mistake

that you can't see
what we're up against?

This isn't about
making mistakes, perna.

It's about the end
justifying the means.

In our profession,
that's a very slippery slope.

We have no idea if this'll work.

We could be sacrificing
that man to a monster.

There will be another
to take his place.

That's just what I'm afraid of.

They are ready.

Careful, sir.

This is the sustenance
you promised?

A little change in plans.

You tell me something right now

or the dinner party's cancelled.

What do you want to know?

How many hive ships
have become operational

since we awakened one?

All of them, major Sheppard.

First they will travel their own
feeding grounds and gather strength.

We are a patient race, major.

When we have taken our fill
and gathered our strength,

we will join force
and come for you.

Do you have any idea when
that'll be? Morning, afternoon?

Open it up.

You don't have to do this.

I know.

I'm ready.

He is weak.

You are both heroes
of the hoffan people.

I'll admit, it was amazing.

I hope your friends will join us
for a banquet to honour your work.

They'd be glad to, but aren't
celebrations a bit premature?

The results
speak for themselves.

I intend to ask the council to
approve mass production of the serum.

After today I doubt they
will offer any resistance.

That is wonderful news.

With all due respect, it isn't.

We're talking
about one test here.

I'm as pleased as anyone
with the results,

but we have a lot of work
to do before we can use it.

Dr Beckett wishes to run a
full series of tests on merell

prior to issuing
his final report.

There may have been mitigating
circumstances. The man was dying.

Of course. I'll bring
it up with council.

To success.

What is it?

Steve. He doesn't look so good.

How long has he been like this?

Since the test.

Think it's a ruse?

It is not their way.

Hey.

What have you done to me?

We need Beckett in here.

We're gonna help you.

Don't feel pity for me.

You will suffer far worse
when the others come for you.

Major. I was just
about to cut him open.

Then I was just leaving.

I've already done
a series of tests

you might like to
know the results of.

You know what killed him?

It was all of his vital organs
shutting down almost simultaneously.

Did he starve to death?

I don't think he died
from a lack of nourishment.

What was it?

Tests revealed a significant
amount of hoffan serum in his blood.

I'm guessing we'll find
similar trace amounts

in each of his organs.

Why did the hoffan drug
end up in his blood?

We know that when
the wraith feed,

they release a chemical
to their victims' bodies.

What it does we
don't yet understand.

I can only assume that it
prepares the human body

to be drained of life.

The serum is designed

to shield the victim from
that initial chemical release.

Okay.

The serum protein may have
mutated when exposed to the chemical,

triggering a toxic reaction.

Instead of feeding off him...

He was poisoned.

So if the serum did this,

it's more than just a
defence against the wraith.

It kills them.

I fail to see cause for alarm.

This development increases
the serum's value.

No, it takes away any doubt
about what the wraith will do

when they come here.

I don't see the difference.

Once they learn you
possess this weapon,

the wraith will wipe your people
from existence in retaliation.

Or they may
simply leave us alone

once they learn
we are unpalatable.

'Cause they're such a
live-and-let-live kind of race.

Maybe when you were talking
about this being defensive, but now...

You fail to see
the larger picture.

For the first time we have a way
to not just defend, but strike back.

Is this about revenge
or saving your people?

You can't hope to understand
the generations of suffering.

I've been in one of their hives

and fought against their ships.

When the first wraith dies
because of this drug,

they won't move on.

They'll make
the problem go away.

They will seek out any who
have had contact with you.

They will spare no one.

I know how passionate
you are about this.

This drug is sort
of your holy grail.

You're gonna have
to shelve it until...

I'm serious.

Othennise we can't
help you any more.

You don't understand, major.
It's too late.

I have made my recommendation
to the council and they've agreed.

We have already begun
inoculating our people.

You're leaving?

Unless you'll go back
to formula on the serum,

there's no point in my staying.

Re-open the project.

With more work we
could prevent the mutation,

maintain it as a defensive drug.

Merell is dead.

The cause of death is
still to be determined.

They need to stop
the inoculations.

They won't. A man is dead.

More won't necessarily follow.

Even if I wanted to,
I couldn't make them stop.

Not without more proof.

Perna, you're one of the
brightest people I've ever met.

For your own sake, I beg you,

have no more part in this.

At least until we know more.

I can't do that.

Why not?

Because I was among
the first to be inoculated.

I appreciate your
sense of urgency,

but at this point it would be
unwise to rush to any conclusions.

You want to exercise
caution? Are you serious?

You yourself have
told us the wraith

could be on their
way here right now.

We have to move fon/vard.

You're speaking on
behalf of a lot of people.

You think I'd force this
choice on my people?

No, sir, our people
are in complete agreement.

Your people may be dead before the
wraith even get here, for all you know.

Chancellor, please.
It's not too late.

Suspend the inoculations
until we know what killed merell.

He was terminal. We don't
know the serum caused his death.

He suffered a complete
respiratory breakdown.

Which could have been due to his
condition. His sickness had spread.

Are you willing to risk lives
based on that assumption? I'm not.

Major Sheppard.

Go ahead, Teyla.

We're in the medical centre.
We need help.

My god.

The doctors say they
began arriving last night

and their numbers
are increasing.

I'm on it.

Lieutenant, radio Weir. Tell them we
need a full medical team on a jumper.

Roger that.

Perna. Perna.

I need help here. Oxygen!

Take it easy.

Leave us.

Do you have any idea
what's going on?

I do, major.

Half those who took
that drug are dying.

Half of them, major. Half.

The statistics are clear and the
numbers are holding at that level.

Which means the other 50%
of those we inoculated will live

and destroy any
wraith who feed on them.

I don't believe this.

The wraith will know the full
conviction of the hoffan people.

Conviction?

If we spread this
drug to every human,

future generations would
never know the horror of a culling.

You're deliberately
sacrificing millions of lives.

An end to the wraith.

You can't comprehend
the bargain in that?

You can't make a bargain
like that for your entire people.

Do you think I'm alone in this?

I think you're delusional.

You shall see. We are
putting it to a vote as we speak.

I will stand by the
decision of the majority.

Does that satisfy you?

Do they know what
they're voting on?

Yes. I promise you.

You'll back off if it
doesn't go your way?

You have my word.

Use any rooms you
need for overflow.

We need to keep this
area clear for triage.

Teyla, there you are.

Make sure oxygen is properly
deployed in the hospital.

Doctor...

Have non-critical
patients use it in turns.

Teyla, you're not
listening to me.

Where's perna? I need her.

Carson.

I would like
to have seen Atlantis.

Perna, I'm so sorry.

Don't look at me that way.

I am at peace with what I
have done, as you should be.

I wish I had no part in this.

You gave us hope.

For years our
people have been working

towards this very moment.

We didn't betray
the forefathers.

We fulfilled their destiny,
their promise.

Stay. Stay with me. Stay.

I'm here.

It's okay.

You okay?

I'm told you're leaving.

Yes, we are.

Not that it hasn't been lovely.

I wanted you to see the
results of the vote before you left.

96% in favour.

Does the vote include
all your people?

Every one.

So you see, major, we speak
with one voice and we are resolute.

Yeah, I can see that.

Next time I'd like to discuss
disseminating the drug

on as many worlds as possible.

We won't be doing
that any time soon.

Our victory may
change your mind.

If and when we ever return,

I don't imagine you'll be here.

I don't imagine
anybody else will be either.

Good luck.

"Victory at all costs."
That sound familiar, major?

Churchill.

Aye. Never thought I'd disagree.
