1
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,040
She used to leave the lights on
all over the house,
2
00:00:09,050 --> 00:00:10,920
every room.
3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,480
It drove my father nuts.
4
00:00:13,910 --> 00:00:17,381
For me, it was my brother.
only we hadn�t lights.
5
00:00:17,441 --> 00:00:19,921
He used to leave candles burning everywhere.
6
00:00:19,956 --> 00:00:24,002
Yeah, well, you know what? No-one wants to hear any more stories about how poor you were as a child, alright?
7
00:00:24,012 --> 00:00:27,461
We already feel as sorry for you
as is humanly possible.
8
00:00:27,496 --> 00:00:28,902
He burned the house down, you know?
9
00:00:28,932 --> 00:00:33,412
My sister was afraid of the dark, only used to
blame me for leaving the lights on.
10
00:00:33,447 --> 00:00:36,842
Of course, my father believed her.
He never sided with me.
11
00:00:36,877 --> 00:00:40,042
We had to live in a tent, in the
dead of winter for three months.
12
00:00:40,077 --> 00:00:43,383
- You know, at least my stories relate to what we�re doing
- So do mine.
13
00:00:43,418 --> 00:00:47,122
You know, we�re trekking all over the city shutting down
everything the Ancients activated while they were
14
00:00:47,157 --> 00:00:52,933
were oh-so-briefly in control so that we can stop the power
from draining from our one precious ZedP.M.
15
00:00:53,013 --> 00:00:55,503
How does that relate to your idiot brother
burning the house down?
16
00:00:55,538 --> 00:00:59,344
- Well, if we don�t succeed.
- We�re not gonna have to live in a tent in the dead of winter!
17
00:00:59,364 --> 00:01:01,233
It�s a metaphor.
18
00:01:01,333 --> 00:01:03,733
- Dr. McKay.
- Hmm. Thank God.
19
00:01:04,424 --> 00:01:08,734
- The control panel. It�s completely shot.
- Really? You think so?
20
00:01:08,845 --> 00:01:10,254
You know, I don�t get these Ancients.
21
00:01:10,289 --> 00:01:15,144
hey�re supposed to be so smart, but why activate something
that you don�t need and you�re not using, huh?
22
00:01:15,179 --> 00:01:19,585
Well, maybe they didn�t have time to get to it you know, before the
human-form Replicators that you reprogrammed attacked.
23
00:01:19,620 --> 00:01:22,635
Yes, yes, we all know what happened.
24
00:01:25,726 --> 00:01:26,725
Ah. Voila.
25
00:01:26,875 --> 00:01:30,386
You�re just angry that you couldn�t figure out
how to override the Ancient protocols -
26
00:01:30,421 --> 00:01:33,116
that kept us from shutting this place down
remotely from the Control Room.
27
00:01:33,156 --> 00:01:34,536
Hey, neither could you.
28
00:01:34,571 --> 00:01:37,976
Yes, but I didn�t bet everyone
a month�s pay that I could do it.
29
00:01:38,011 --> 00:01:42,927
- You. OK, you know what? Look around, see if you can figure out how you can turn this place off,
- whatever it is.
30
00:01:42,962 --> 00:01:47,667
- Are you sure you should be going up there?
- How else am I gonna find out what this room does, huh?
31
00:01:47,702 --> 00:01:50,647
God forbid there should be anything in the Ancient database.
32
00:01:50,682 --> 00:01:54,248
- Oh, there probably is. We just don�t have the time to...
- Ah, here we go.
33
00:01:55,567 --> 00:01:59,698
- OK, there should be a main power switch...
- Yes, I know that. What do you think I�m doing?
34
00:02:00,787 --> 00:02:02,798
Alright. Double or nothing.
35
00:02:02,838 --> 00:02:04,148
- Oh, you�re on.
- Alright.
36
00:02:04,183 --> 00:02:06,848
Alright. It�s gotta be around here somewhere.
37
00:02:21,749 --> 00:02:24,009
Rodney? What happened?
38
00:02:26,509 --> 00:02:28,429
I�m not sure.
39
00:02:28,819 --> 00:02:31,469
but I think I just lost -
40
00:02:31,489 --> 00:02:33,620
big time.

44
00:03:37,524 --> 00:03:38,984
As far as I can tell, he�s fine.
45
00:03:39,019 --> 00:03:42,544
I was hit by a mysterious energy pulse.
How can that possibly be fine?
46
00:03:42,579 --> 00:03:46,285
I�ve run every test I can:
blood work, M.R.Is, X-rays, the lot.
47
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,205
- I found no anomalies in any of the results.
- One more time: mysterious energy pulse
48
00:03:51,235 --> 00:03:55,496
from a device created by the Ancients. I mean,
who knows what kind of long-term effects I could be in for?
49
00:03:55,531 --> 00:03:57,946
I mean, there�s gross mutation, giantism, invisibility...
50
00:03:57,981 --> 00:04:00,796
That would be cool. I turned into a bug.
51
00:04:00,831 --> 00:04:03,876
Alright. Like I said, as far as I can tell,
he�s as healthy as a horse.
52
00:04:03,911 --> 00:04:07,776
- I�m clearing you for active duty.
- Are you insane?! Look, I need to be put under guard.
53
00:04:07,811 --> 00:04:11,286
- .Who knows what I could become?
- What are the chances it could make him more pleasant?
54
00:04:11,321 --> 00:04:13,506
- Oh, Thank you!
- I�ll keep an eye on him.
55
00:04:13,526 --> 00:04:15,127
Thank you!
56
00:04:16,386 --> 00:04:18,187
Can you still see me?
57
00:04:19,527 --> 00:04:23,407
- What are you saying?
- That you were showing off.
58
00:04:23,788 --> 00:04:28,728
Normally, if Doctor Esposito weren�t around,
I doubt you would have been as reckless as you were.
59
00:04:28,748 --> 00:04:31,348
- Are you insane?
- Which one�s Esposito?
60
00:04:31,383 --> 00:04:35,828
- Oh, the long dark hair.
- Ah, right. The one with the perfect little, uh...
61
00:04:35,863 --> 00:04:37,969
Do you mind?
We�re trying to work here.
62
00:04:38,004 --> 00:04:39,818
For the record, I was gonna say "smile. "
63
00:04:39,853 --> 00:04:42,668
- Yeah, sure you were. What�ve you got?
- Nothing.
64
00:04:43,039 --> 00:04:45,909
Whatever you did fried all the power conduits
leading into the room.
65
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:47,929
Whatever I did?
66
00:04:48,159 --> 00:04:53,669
Look, up until very recently this lab was entirely under water,
quite possibly for over ten thousand years. How is that my fault?
67
00:04:53,729 --> 00:04:57,720
- Well, that part of it isn�t.
- OK, that�s it. I�m going for lunch.
68
00:04:58,629 --> 00:05:01,639
- How�s he doing?
- Same old Rodney.
69
00:05:01,674 --> 00:05:05,060
You�re sure?
He looks a couple of pounds heavier to me.
70
00:05:05,190 --> 00:05:07,180
- Ronon!
- What?
71
00:05:07,215 --> 00:05:10,180
He eats all the time.
It�s not like he exercises.
72
00:05:10,810 --> 00:05:12,760
He�s feeding his unhappiness.
73
00:05:12,830 --> 00:05:16,041
Hello?! I�m right here. I can...
74
00:05:20,071 --> 00:05:21,971
I can hear you.
75
00:05:27,181 --> 00:05:30,852
For your information, I am exactly the same weight
I have been since I got here.
76
00:05:30,887 --> 00:05:35,792
I need to eat regularly, otherwise I become hypoglycaemic;
and I am generally a very happy person.
77
00:05:35,827 --> 00:05:40,492
Colonel Sheppard. Please have your team report to the
Control Room immediately. Colonel Sheppard.
78
00:05:46,842 --> 00:05:51,103
We received this transmission six minutes ago
from Major Lorne�s team.
79
00:05:51,123 --> 00:05:55,203
Atlantis base, repeat: we are under attack
and cut off from the Gate...
80
00:05:55,213 --> 00:05:59,814
I counted at least 20, maybe more.
Request back-up immediately.
81
00:05:59,923 --> 00:06:03,113
- Where are they?
- M72-656.
82
00:06:03,133 --> 00:06:06,734
Have a team of marines meet us in the Jumper Bay.
83
00:06:22,795 --> 00:06:25,235
Doctor Weir. Any word?
84
00:06:25,515 --> 00:06:28,445
Not yet. It has only been an hour.
85
00:06:28,465 --> 00:06:31,345
- You wanted to see me?
- Yes. I could use your help.
86
00:06:31,380 --> 00:06:34,996
I managed to get power to part of the console
to access the lab�s research logs.
87
00:06:35,031 --> 00:06:39,796
- Well, that�s good news.
- Well, I�m not so sure. I could use a second opinion.
88
00:06:44,817 --> 00:06:49,557
It seems much of this refers to different elements
of human physiology.
89
00:06:53,507 --> 00:06:57,077
It mentions the mutation of base genetic coding.
90
00:06:57,087 --> 00:07:02,687
I realise Doctor Beckett said that there were no evident
effects from Rodney�s exposure to the device.
91
00:07:03,078 --> 00:07:06,958
- It seems...
- meant to manipulate human D.N.A.
92
00:07:07,748 --> 00:07:11,408
Doctor Weir to the Jumper Bay.
The rescue team has returned.
93
00:07:11,938 --> 00:07:12,939
Let�s go.
94
00:07:15,549 --> 00:07:18,109
- What else could it be?!
- You�re losing your mind!
95
00:07:18,144 --> 00:07:22,329
- I�m telling you, it�s a bit of a coincidence!
- Well, then, prove it!
96
00:07:22,364 --> 00:07:25,589
- Colonel?
- Everyone�s present and accounted for.
97
00:07:25,599 --> 00:07:29,780
- How bad is it and who�s been hurt?
- No-one, Doc. We�re all fine... thanks to
98
00:07:29,815 --> 00:07:32,020
- ... McKay.
- So he says.
99
00:07:32,055 --> 00:07:33,419
Rodney?
100
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,010
Well, to be honest, I�m not entirely sure. I wasn�t
even sure it was me at first,
101
00:07:38,045 --> 00:07:40,330
but the correlation�s impossible to ignore.
102
00:07:40,365 --> 00:07:44,260
I saw Lorne�s team pinned down,
the bad guys closing in...
103
00:07:44,295 --> 00:07:48,861
I just thought, you know, wouldn�t it be great
if all their weapons jammed at the same time?
104
00:07:51,771 --> 00:07:54,391
Next thing I know, they�re all running away, so...
105
00:07:54,401 --> 00:07:57,862
So you think because you wanted it to happen, it just did.
106
00:07:57,897 --> 00:08:00,542
It was a little more than that.
107
00:08:01,561 --> 00:08:04,561
OK. You know what?
Watch this. I�ll, uh
108
00:08:06,182 --> 00:08:07,762
Rodney!
109
00:08:10,122 --> 00:08:10,922
Rodney?
110
00:08:10,957 --> 00:08:15,722
- Believe me, I find this as disturbing as you do.
- Like bloody hell you do!
111
00:08:16,442 --> 00:08:18,672
Put him down.
112
00:08:24,293 --> 00:08:27,833
Have there been any other instances
of this power manifesting itself?
113
00:08:27,843 --> 00:08:31,844
- Powers. Plural.
- What else can you do besides telekinesis?
114
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:35,834
Well, super-hearing for one, and I�m not sure but I think
I may actually be getting smarter.
115
00:08:35,869 --> 00:08:38,704
It�s hard to say for sure because I was pretty smart
to start with but, um,
116
00:08:38,739 --> 00:08:41,894
recently I�ve been having some ideas that I don�t think
even I would have thought of before.
117
00:08:41,929 --> 00:08:46,844
- Does super-ego count as a power?
- Look, keep it coming.
118
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:51,475
We could also be dealing with a super-appetite,
although it�s hard to tell because he ate so much before.
119
00:08:51,510 --> 00:08:53,855
- Very funny.
- My God! He�s eatin� again!
120
00:08:53,890 --> 00:08:56,885
- I have a very active metabolism.
- Aye. Among other things.
121
00:08:56,895 --> 00:09:02,176
The scans show a dramatic increase in synaptic interaction
throughout all the sections of Rodney�s brain
122
00:09:02,211 --> 00:09:05,086
much higher than normal human levels.
123
00:09:05,121 --> 00:09:08,386
There was an incident at S.G.C.
just over a year ago.
124
00:09:08,396 --> 00:09:12,436
I recall that file. I studied the data.
Fascinating.
125
00:09:12,471 --> 00:09:14,816
SG-1 discovered a highly-evolved
human being in stasis.
126
00:09:14,851 --> 00:09:18,967
It turned out he was a result of experimentation
by a Goa�uld named Anubis.
127
00:09:19,002 --> 00:09:25,638
He was trying to create a means of artificially accelerating
human physiology to the point of ascension.
128
00:09:25,673 --> 00:09:28,518
Look, that device I found must have been
some kind of an accelerator.
129
00:09:28,553 --> 00:09:31,398
We know that the Ancients developed
all kinds of powers as they evolved,
130
00:09:31,432 --> 00:09:35,528
so it�s just a matter of bad luck that
we didn�t run into that lab earlier.
131
00:09:35,563 --> 00:09:38,968
Seriously. Me a superhero.
Who would have thought it?
132
00:09:46,168 --> 00:09:49,018
Look, we all agree the Ancients
were pretty screwed up.
133
00:09:49,028 --> 00:09:50,549
We do?
134
00:09:50,599 --> 00:09:54,329
All the ones I met were arrogant, condescending...
and not for good reason.
135
00:09:54,349 --> 00:09:57,169
They made giant mistakes and never fixed �em.
136
00:09:57,204 --> 00:10:00,449
- They were still human.
- But then there were all those crazy rules.
137
00:10:00,484 --> 00:10:04,230
- Those only came after they ascended.
- Whatever, alright?
138
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,170
Maybe this thing doesn�t work on everyone.
Who knows?
139
00:10:07,205 --> 00:10:11,230
- But we do know it works on McKay.
- It has only been a day.
140
00:10:11,265 --> 00:10:14,150
Assuming it�s safe. Well, to be honest,
even if it�s not
141
00:10:14,185 --> 00:10:16,760
if we can get a significant advantage over
the Wraith and Replicators...
142
00:10:16,795 --> 00:10:19,490
John, I agree.
This device may have great potential.
143
00:10:19,525 --> 00:10:21,991
And with great potential comes great responsibility.
I know.
144
00:10:22,026 --> 00:10:24,151
Like a lot of other things we have found in this city,
145
00:10:24,186 --> 00:10:28,851
It is a very advanced piece of technology.
For all we know, it could also be very dangerous.
146
00:10:28,886 --> 00:10:31,561
- I�m just saying...
- Yes, you can be next.
147
00:10:31,751 --> 00:10:32,922
Thank You!
148
00:10:35,962 --> 00:10:38,412
You know, if you�re compiling a list, I�d...
149
00:10:38,447 --> 00:10:41,813
- Could we stay focused, please?
- Right.
150
00:10:45,562 --> 00:10:48,182
C�mon. You can�t keep me cooped up
in here forever.
151
00:10:48,217 --> 00:10:51,623
You might not be sick, Rodney, but I think we can
both agree what�s happening here is far from normal.
152
00:10:51,658 --> 00:10:54,873
Exactly, so let me go out and start using
my powers to do some good.
153
00:10:54,908 --> 00:10:57,573
Ooh. Are you going to, uh, finish that?
154
00:10:58,554 --> 00:11:03,204
We have no idea of the extent of your genetic mutation.
155
00:11:03,239 --> 00:11:07,134
Please. "Mutation" has such negative connotations.
"Advancement" is more like it.
156
00:11:07,169 --> 00:11:08,784
Until we know exactly what�s going on here...
157
00:11:08,819 --> 00:11:10,719
Carson. I�m still me.
158
00:11:10,754 --> 00:11:14,284
Anyway, it�s not like you or these guys could
stop me from leaving anyways.
159
00:11:14,314 --> 00:11:16,084
No, but I could.
160
00:11:17,094 --> 00:11:19,064
Oh, you care to put that to a test?
161
00:11:20,655 --> 00:11:22,185
Do you?
162
00:11:22,605 --> 00:11:24,254
Well. No, not really.
163
00:11:24,289 --> 00:11:27,565
Anyways, as I was saying, I think you�re fine to go about
your daily duties as long as...
164
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,496
you have someone with you... and you...
165
00:11:29,531 --> 00:11:33,495
check in every couple of hours.
Yes, yes. Bye-bye!
166
00:11:35,685 --> 00:11:38,866
You know, we could be a team.
You could be my sidekick.
167
00:11:38,901 --> 00:11:41,986
- "Sidekick. "
- Yeah. It�d be like Batman and Ronon. Has a nice ring to it.
168
00:11:42,021 --> 00:11:44,746
Yeah, you keep eating like that,
it�s more like Fatman.
169
00:11:44,781 --> 00:11:50,456
I�m warning you. You will probably be bored out of your mind
unless you find incredibly advanced physics to be...
170
00:11:50,476 --> 00:11:52,377
- Really?
- What?
171
00:11:52,412 --> 00:11:54,137
What, you think so?
172
00:11:54,527 --> 00:11:56,527
Hey, she thinks I�m hot!
173
00:11:57,187 --> 00:11:59,797
- I didn�t say anything.
- No-no-no, I�m sure that you, uh...
174
00:11:59,832 --> 00:12:03,398
Oh, of course not, I should have known.
She meant you.
175
00:12:03,618 --> 00:12:06,458
I don�t know what you�re talking about.
176
00:12:07,938 --> 00:12:10,518
McKay, she didn�t say a word.
177
00:12:11,178 --> 00:12:13,888
Oh my God.
I can read minds.
178
00:12:14,409 --> 00:12:16,809
Oh, this is cool!
179
00:12:18,258 --> 00:12:19,659
No it isn�t.
180
00:12:24,149 --> 00:12:26,929
- Oh, I�m fine. No; yes; and it doesn�t.
- What?
181
00:12:26,964 --> 00:12:28,730
I can read your mind. uh, everyone�s, actually.
182
00:12:28,765 --> 00:12:32,629
That was very cool for the first, like, 10seconds there,
but now I�m finding it a little disturbing
183
00:12:32,664 --> 00:12:35,269
So I�m trying to tune it out as much as I possibly can.
well, sort of.
184
00:12:35,304 --> 00:12:38,750
Anyways, look, I wanted to get your permission
to access the Control Chair.
185
00:12:38,785 --> 00:12:43,680
I�ve got some pretty interesting ideas for maximising our ZedP.M.
I reconfigured the city�s power systems
186
00:12:43,715 --> 00:12:48,531
It�s too complicated to explain. But trust me when I say that
you are going to be incredibly happy with the results.
187
00:12:48,566 --> 00:12:52,120
Look, Elizabeth, I know you have every right
not to trust me but I promise you,
188
00:12:52,155 --> 00:12:55,531
I�m gonna make things much, much better, OK
189
00:12:55,566 --> 00:13:00,241
Good. She wants you to shoot me if you think for even 1 second
that I might be trying to take over the city for my own evil purposes.
190
00:13:00,276 --> 00:13:01,942
I�m kidding.
191
00:13:02,632 --> 00:13:04,892
That was a joke.
Is your weapon set to, uh, stun?
192
00:13:04,927 --> 00:13:09,592
Wait. Never mind. There. I did it
OK, to the Chair Room, Ronon.
193
00:13:10,862 --> 00:13:13,773
- Can I shoot him now?
- I can hear you!
194
00:13:13,808 --> 00:13:18,382
Look, she just wants you to keep a close eye on me!
C�mon, let�s go. Chop, chop - much to do.
195
00:13:18,417 --> 00:13:21,953
I will send a science team down to supervise.
196
00:13:29,953 --> 00:13:33,154
Not like that, this is crap.
197
00:13:40,394 --> 00:13:43,734
- What the hell is he doing?
- Don�t ask me.
198
00:13:43,914 --> 00:13:46,094
Actually, I wasn�t.
199
00:13:46,194 --> 00:13:48,194
I have no idea.
200
00:13:48,664 --> 00:13:53,665
- Rodney, you are affecting power all over the city.
- I know. Awesome, isn�t it?
201
00:13:54,044 --> 00:13:56,305
No. I can�t work.
202
00:13:56,345 --> 00:13:57,665
It�s just temporary.
203
00:13:57,700 --> 00:14:01,656
Rodney, I�m trying to determine if that device
did any permanent damage to you.
204
00:14:01,691 --> 00:14:06,446
Quite frankly, given your usually rampant hypochondria,
I�m surprised you don�t seem to care.
205
00:14:06,481 --> 00:14:09,086
- You�re jealous.
- That is ridiculous.
206
00:14:09,121 --> 00:14:12,306
You should be working with me trying to figure out
what is happening to you.
207
00:14:12,341 --> 00:14:16,097
- Instead, you�re here burying your head in the sand.
- That is not true.
208
00:14:16,132 --> 00:14:19,306
My head, which happens to be housing my ever-evolving brain...
209
00:14:19,341 --> 00:14:24,357
is actually being better utilised here doing
important things that will affect everybody.
210
00:14:26,357 --> 00:14:30,358
I am not gonna work with him.
I can #@$! at this. He is...
211
00:14:30,667 --> 00:14:35,468
He tries to hide it, but deep down,
I�m the wind beneath his wings.
212
00:14:37,808 --> 00:14:39,708
Well, how�s it coming?
213
00:14:39,818 --> 00:14:42,378
Actually, I think I�m just getting to the good bit.
214
00:14:42,388 --> 00:14:46,589
Don�t you hate it when people interrupt right
when things are getting good?
215
00:14:50,059 --> 00:14:53,619
I know McKay is some super-genius now, but
216
00:14:53,659 --> 00:14:56,689
I find the flickering lights incredibly unnerving.
217
00:14:56,719 --> 00:14:59,859
Doctor Coleman has. However reluctantly...
218
00:14:59,894 --> 00:15:04,589
Admitted it does seem as if Rodney is significantly
improving the city�s power system.
219
00:15:04,624 --> 00:15:06,010
Whatever.
220
00:15:06,130 --> 00:15:08,890
Anyway, you were saying...?
221
00:15:09,460 --> 00:15:13,450
Well, we know the Ancients evolved physiologically
to a certain point where
222
00:15:13,485 --> 00:15:18,720
- they could transform into a state of pure energy.
- Ancient History 101.
223
00:15:18,755 --> 00:15:22,671
Yes. We also know that not all of them
managed to get there.
224
00:15:22,921 --> 00:15:26,791
- You�re saying some of them needed a kick in the pants.
- So to speak.
225
00:15:27,921 --> 00:15:31,381
I think this machine was not meant to help them
fight the war against the Wraith
226
00:15:31,416 --> 00:15:34,182
but rather to help them escape it.
227
00:15:35,601 --> 00:15:37,182
An ascension machine?
228
00:15:37,217 --> 00:15:40,981
Like the one the Goa�uld tried
to create in the Milky Way.
229
00:15:41,702 --> 00:15:44,742
Are you saying McKay�s going to ascend?
230
00:15:45,642 --> 00:15:48,763
Unfortunately there�s a whole lot more to ascension
than just being physically evolved.
231
00:15:48,798 --> 00:15:53,763
Believe me, after spending six months with a
bunch of pansy wannabes, I know!
232
00:15:53,773 --> 00:15:55,843
But what does this mean for McKay?
233
00:15:55,878 --> 00:15:59,643
Like I said, just gettin� to the good bit.
234
00:15:59,753 --> 00:16:01,753
I�ll leave you to it.
235
00:16:03,663 --> 00:16:05,404
John, wait.
236
00:16:06,024 --> 00:16:09,173
We need to talk to Rodney right away.
237
00:16:14,394 --> 00:16:18,474
You can all relax.
I�ll have us back online in two minutes.
238
00:16:18,509 --> 00:16:20,734
We need to talk to you.
239
00:16:21,014 --> 00:16:23,374
What do you mean, I�m gonna die?
240
00:16:23,995 --> 00:16:25,845
I�m not even sick! I feel great, never better!
241
00:16:25,875 --> 00:16:27,435
That Ancient device...
242
00:16:27,470 --> 00:16:29,675
has accelerated my evolution.
243
00:16:30,055 --> 00:16:34,296
Eventually I�ll reach a point where I�m physically capable of ascension, but ascension takes more than that
244
00:16:34,331 --> 00:16:39,896
there�s a... there�s a mental component.
I need to know how to make it happen... Which I don�t.
245
00:16:40,335 --> 00:16:41,636
Yet!
246
00:16:41,686 --> 00:16:45,687
I�m getting smarter by the minute. It�s a pretty good assumption
I�ll be able to figure it out on the way.
247
00:16:45,722 --> 00:16:49,796
OK, so it�s not as easy as that. Well, even if I don�t,
so I stay a highly-evolved human.
248
00:16:49,831 --> 00:16:54,576
I mean, I don�t have to ascend It�s, it�s a choice, right?
No? What do you mean, no? Oh,
249
00:16:54,611 --> 00:16:57,897
that stupid Ancient device doesn�t work properly, does it?
250
00:16:57,927 --> 00:17:02,997
It�s set in motion a series of genetic mutations that will
result in my death if I don�t ascend?!
251
00:17:03,032 --> 00:17:07,548
- There is something easier about this.
- That�s why the Ancients didn�t put it into common use
252
00:17:07,583 --> 00:17:12,548
It�s just one more in a long line of abysmal,
over-ambitious failures!
253
00:17:12,558 --> 00:17:15,018
Oh God. I�m a dead man!
254
00:17:15,038 --> 00:17:17,058
- Dr. McKay!
- Yes, yes
255
00:17:17,093 --> 00:17:21,559
it�s because I stopped in the middle. I will fix it...
just give me a second here.
256
00:17:26,289 --> 00:17:27,589
That�s it.
257
00:17:27,624 --> 00:17:29,978
I will kill him, he is nuts, complete idiot.
258
00:17:30,109 --> 00:17:32,779
OK, there�s still time left, right, so maybe
there�s a way to reverse the process.
259
00:17:32,814 --> 00:17:35,149
Zelenka! Where�s Zelenka?
What the hell has he been doing?
260
00:17:35,159 --> 00:17:40,100
We have massive power surges throughout the grid.
Shutdown protocols are not responding.
261
00:17:55,891 --> 00:17:59,361
Come on, Radek, come on. He�s not breathing...
262
00:17:59,396 --> 00:18:01,382
we need to intubate. Start an I.V., wide open.
263
00:18:01,782 --> 00:18:03,782
Get that monitor set up.
264
00:18:04,901 --> 00:18:07,462
Right. On my count.
One, two, three.
265
00:18:10,142 --> 00:18:12,722
- Radek!
- Get the leads set up, please.
266
00:18:13,522 --> 00:18:16,043
He�s in V-tach.
Prepare to de-fib.
267
00:18:17,232 --> 00:18:18,533
- Clear!
- No!
268
00:18:18,568 --> 00:18:22,482
- Rodney, the man is dying.
- I know. Just give me a second. I know.
269
00:18:46,384 --> 00:18:48,314
Heart rate�s good;
270
00:18:48,985 --> 00:18:50,914
Breathing�s steady.
271
00:18:52,545 --> 00:18:54,725
Pulse is good.
272
00:18:59,365 --> 00:19:01,935
Radek, are you OK?
273
00:19:03,776 --> 00:19:05,405
What happened?
274
00:19:21,736 --> 00:19:24,496
- Rodney.
- Hold on.
275
00:19:26,027 --> 00:19:28,717
I see you�ve been busy.
276
00:19:28,957 --> 00:19:31,978
- Yeah, I invented a new math.
- Really?!
277
00:19:32,013 --> 00:19:35,527
It�s gonna change the human understanding
of the universe as we know it.
278
00:19:35,562 --> 00:19:38,057
How is Zelenka?
279
00:19:38,828 --> 00:19:42,078
- Uh, you need to ask?
- I�m blocking out people�s thoughts.
280
00:19:42,113 --> 00:19:45,638
It was becoming too overwhelming.
I wasn�t able to think.
281
00:19:46,229 --> 00:19:49,278
- Rodney.
- I know what you�re gonna say.
282
00:19:49,298 --> 00:19:53,028
Oh, no... just intuition, I swear. I just...
283
00:19:53,139 --> 00:19:56,829
I tried to fix the Ancient device but
it wasn�t meant to reverse the process.
284
00:19:56,864 --> 00:20:00,340
Once the mutation has started,
it cannot be stopped.
285
00:20:00,689 --> 00:20:02,309
Actually,
286
00:20:04,779 --> 00:20:10,230
I was gonna say, if you want any help in understanding ascension...
287
00:20:12,860 --> 00:20:16,730
Oh. Uh, well, I�ve already re-read everything
I could in the database.
288
00:20:16,765 --> 00:20:20,370
- Well, it�s not exactly a clear-cut set of instructions, is it?
- No.
289
00:20:20,405 --> 00:20:25,861
And to be honest, you know, I�ve never been all that big on
the whole idea of ascending in the first place. There�s too many rules,
290
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,851
you know? I mean, to me, life is about working towards
achievement, you know? Discovering things...
291
00:20:30,886 --> 00:20:33,962
- Getting credit for it.
- Exactly. I mean, once you know it all, what do you do then?
292
00:20:33,982 --> 00:20:35,101
I don�t know.
293
00:20:35,136 --> 00:20:38,402
I don�t think that ascension
necessarily means the end.
294
00:20:38,412 --> 00:20:41,352
Yeah, see? Never been big on leaps of faith, either.
295
00:20:41,362 --> 00:20:44,272
I mean, sure, there was a part of me that from
the beginning knew that this was too good to be true.
296
00:20:44,307 --> 00:20:49,272
Nothing this great could ever happen to me without really,
really bad consequences.
297
00:20:50,193 --> 00:20:54,262
Anyways, now I have come to terms with that
and I just wanna get as much done in the time
298
00:20:54,297 --> 00:20:58,763
I have left and not waste my time on a bunch of mumbo jumbo
I�m not gonna understand anyways.
299
00:20:58,843 --> 00:21:03,443
Oh, I�ve come up with a way for increasing
the Daedalus� shield power.
300
00:21:03,753 --> 00:21:07,644
Tell Hermiod to give me a call if he needs
any help understanding the base code.
301
00:21:07,679 --> 00:21:11,004
I�m sure Colonel Caldwell will be thrilled.
302
00:21:12,964 --> 00:21:14,964
Look, Rodney,
303
00:21:15,064 --> 00:21:21,065
I�m not gonna try to convince you that ascension is right for you,
or even possible, for that matter. I don�t know.
304
00:21:21,185 --> 00:21:25,105
But I wonder if you have considered the fact that
305
00:21:25,284 --> 00:21:29,435
if you did somehow manage to ascend,
you can always, theoretically.
306
00:21:29,470 --> 00:21:32,435
Re-take human form.
307
00:21:34,395 --> 00:21:36,146
Why didn�t I think of that?
308
00:21:36,156 --> 00:21:38,796
- I don�t think it�s gonna work.
- I had this shipped from the S.G.C.
309
00:21:38,831 --> 00:21:41,796
Aye, I know. The Ancient device used to measure
a person�s synaptic activity.
310
00:21:41,831 --> 00:21:46,616
Ah, more than that - the brain�s evolutionary level.
Look, it�s basically an ascendo-meter.
311
00:21:46,651 --> 00:21:48,486
I really don�t think we�re going about this the right way.
312
00:21:48,521 --> 00:21:53,157
If you�re a highly-evolved super-genius,
put up your hand.
313
00:21:54,096 --> 00:21:55,857
From everything I read about the subject area...
314
00:21:55,892 --> 00:22:01,277
Look, when you get down to it, even mental states
are actually only physical states, are they not?
315
00:22:01,327 --> 00:22:05,327
- I mean, the brain is just a chemical super-computer.
- Well, I suppose an incredibly complex...
316
00:22:05,362 --> 00:22:07,557
Well, I suppose an incredibly complex...
317
00:22:07,592 --> 00:22:11,508
Look, the universe may seem mystical to..
those without understanding
318
00:22:11,543 --> 00:22:15,358
when in truth anything and everything can be quantified.
319
00:22:15,378 --> 00:22:21,029
Look, all the hocus pocus stuff is just a way of getting the brain into the proper electro-chemical state to allow the final physical evolution,
320
00:22:23,349 --> 00:22:28,289
at which point the matter that makes up this body
will turn into pure energy.
321
00:22:28,319 --> 00:22:33,509
Look, what mere mortals would refer to as the...
322
00:22:33,549 --> 00:22:37,560
mystery of ascension is actually just a scientific process
it�s just protons and electrons. Protons and electrons.
323
00:22:37,595 --> 00:22:41,280
- If you say so.
- Now, if you don�t mind, can we, uh...
324
00:22:45,930 --> 00:22:50,200
Now, based on what I�ve extrapolated from the Ancient research,
325
00:22:50,235 --> 00:22:54,111
I have been able to set measurable parameters for
achieving the proper mental state.
326
00:22:54,146 --> 00:22:58,350
Once I reach 96% synaptic connection,
as measured by this device
327
00:22:58,385 --> 00:23:03,812
all I need to do is maintain an E.E.G. frequency of
0.1 to 0.9 Hz and presto.
328
00:23:04,331 --> 00:23:07,371
I arise to a higher plane of existence.
329
00:23:07,406 --> 00:23:12,002
OK, let�s assume for one completely
insane moment that you are right.
330
00:23:12,037 --> 00:23:15,542
Those frequencies are associated
with near-comatose patients.
331
00:23:15,552 --> 00:23:20,922
No-one who�s actually awake can just will themselves
anywhere close to that, no matter how bloody relaxed they are.
332
00:23:20,957 --> 00:23:23,373
No unevolved person.
333
00:23:23,403 --> 00:23:27,093
- Give it a rest, Rodney.
- Just turn it on!
334
00:23:29,943 --> 00:23:32,733
Your synaptic activity�s abnormally high. Over 60%
335
00:23:32,768 --> 00:23:35,273
Yes! I don�t have much time left.
As I said, by my calculations,
336
00:23:35,308 --> 00:23:39,654
when I reach 96%, I either ascend or die.
Now, what�s my E.E.G.?
337
00:23:39,674 --> 00:23:43,643
29 Hz, which is about average for someone
in an extremely heightened wakeful state.
338
00:23:43,679 --> 00:23:48,044
OK, so I just need to, uh,
clear my mind and, um, relax.
339
00:23:50,284 --> 00:23:51,605
- What�s that now?
- 30.
340
00:23:51,615 --> 00:23:54,195
What?! Oh, come on, that�s impossible!
You must have me hooked up wrong.
341
00:23:54,230 --> 00:23:57,884
No I didn�t, thank you very much.
We�re getting a clear reading.
342
00:23:57,935 --> 00:24:01,365
Rodney, the Ancients that eventually learned to ascend
343
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,225
dedicated their entire lives preparing for this moment.
344
00:24:04,260 --> 00:24:10,426
Trust me, this will work. I just need some more time.
Now stop talking so much. You�re you�re rippling my pond.
345
00:24:16,216 --> 00:24:20,166
I think he�s having a hard time accepting
this can�t be solved with science,
346
00:24:20,206 --> 00:24:22,697
no matter how brilliant he is.
347
00:24:22,732 --> 00:24:24,367
You know what he needs?
348
00:24:24,937 --> 00:24:27,937
He needs to... release his burden.
349
00:24:28,197 --> 00:24:30,507
Yeah, well, you know McKay.
350
00:24:31,278 --> 00:24:33,998
Maybe Doctor Heightmeyer can help.
351
00:24:34,033 --> 00:24:36,678
Actually, I was thinking more
along the lines of you.
352
00:24:36,808 --> 00:24:38,107
Me?
353
00:24:38,798 --> 00:24:41,838
Mmm-hmm. You lived with the Ancients for six months
on the brink of ascension.
354
00:24:41,873 --> 00:24:45,138
You helped them face their fears and finally ascend.
355
00:24:45,158 --> 00:24:48,159
I fought a scary monster - that�s what I do best.
356
00:24:48,179 --> 00:24:52,478
And for Rodney, I�m sure this seems like
a pretty scary monster.
357
00:24:57,208 --> 00:24:59,859
I don�t think this is gonna work with you hooked up to the machine.
358
00:24:59,894 --> 00:25:02,310
How else am I gonna know if it�s working at all?
359
00:25:02,344 --> 00:25:05,279
Look, you�re teaching me how to meditate.
Not exactly good odds there to start with.
360
00:25:05,299 --> 00:25:07,290
I realise that.
361
00:25:07,740 --> 00:25:11,850
Truth is, I was never really very good at this myself.
362
00:25:11,885 --> 00:25:15,460
- So why am I here?
- Elizabeth made me.
363
00:25:15,495 --> 00:25:17,180
Oh. Yeah. Me too.
364
00:25:17,510 --> 00:25:22,510
I was with those Ancients for 6months.
Maybe I picked up something that might be able to help you.
365
00:25:24,591 --> 00:25:28,771
Yeah. The first thing I think you need to
come to terms with is, um,
366
00:25:28,961 --> 00:25:32,681
- this is not a means to an end.
- What? Well, of course it is.
367
00:25:32,716 --> 00:25:35,808
No, no, no, you can�t do that. You can�t think
that you�re just gonna ascend
368
00:25:35,843 --> 00:25:37,992
and then re-take human form and be done with it all.
369
00:25:38,002 --> 00:25:40,692
That is exactly what I�m trying to do.
370
00:25:40,727 --> 00:25:44,572
Look, from what I understand,
dishonesty�s not gonna help the process.
371
00:25:45,172 --> 00:25:46,012
Good point.
372
00:25:46,047 --> 00:25:49,342
You know, while we�re at it, my knees are killing me.
How�s anyone ever relax like this?
373
00:25:49,377 --> 00:25:53,053
- Find a position that works.
- Right.
374
00:25:54,763 --> 00:25:57,133
- OK.
- Fine.
375
00:25:58,133 --> 00:26:01,133
Now. I want you to become aware of your breaths,
376
00:26:01,223 --> 00:26:03,883
going in and out of your body.
377
00:26:04,294 --> 00:26:05,703
In...
378
00:26:05,933 --> 00:26:07,553
and out.
379
00:26:08,073 --> 00:26:09,824
Do it without talking.
380
00:26:10,833 --> 00:26:12,564
Oh right.
381
00:26:13,353 --> 00:26:15,004
Now...
382
00:26:15,514 --> 00:26:19,054
I want you to think about the things
that you worry about the most.
383
00:26:19,094 --> 00:26:22,074
- You mean, like death?
- There�s no talking.
384
00:26:22,905 --> 00:26:27,875
- Think of anything that makes you anxious.
- Oh, God, there�s so many things.
385
00:26:27,945 --> 00:26:31,645
Deal with it.
386
00:26:32,615 --> 00:26:34,215
Now.
387
00:26:35,026 --> 00:26:38,056
Imagine yourself sitting on a Ferris wheel.
388
00:26:38,091 --> 00:26:39,025
What?
389
00:26:39,060 --> 00:26:43,036
Look, I told you, I didn�t pay much attention to what
the Ancients were teaching me.
390
00:26:43,071 --> 00:26:45,906
I like Ferris wheels, so that�s what I thought about...
391
00:26:45,941 --> 00:26:50,306
and the fact that the woman teaching me how to meditate was...
392
00:26:50,356 --> 00:26:53,576
- very attractive.
- Why am I not surprised you didn�t ascend, huh?
393
00:26:53,611 --> 00:26:57,187
OK, look, I�m a busy man, you�re a busy man.
We�re both busy men.
394
00:26:57,222 --> 00:27:01,887
Just... relax, alright? I�m gonna try to remember
what the woman taught me.
395
00:27:02,427 --> 00:27:03,757
Alright.
396
00:27:05,778 --> 00:27:07,187
Now.
397
00:27:07,507 --> 00:27:11,498
there�s a dark storm swirling around your head.
398
00:27:11,518 --> 00:27:15,228
- How is that comforting?
- I�m getting there.
399
00:27:15,263 --> 00:27:17,918
I just thought of a brilliant adjunct to the Chaos Theory.
Look, I should write this down...
400
00:27:17,953 --> 00:27:19,648
McKay!
401
00:27:20,339 --> 00:27:23,319
- Letting it go. Letting it go.
- Now,
402
00:27:23,354 --> 00:27:27,489
the sky is clearing. All of your troubles are fading away.
403
00:27:27,689 --> 00:27:30,999
Bright blue sky. I am there.
404
00:27:35,729 --> 00:27:37,679
- How�m I doing?
- Don�t think that way!
405
00:27:37,714 --> 00:27:40,829
- Oh, forget it. Look, this is never gonna work.
- What�s wrong now?
406
00:27:40,864 --> 00:27:43,950
I just realised why light behaves as both particles and waves.
407
00:27:43,985 --> 00:27:48,350
- Rodney, if you don�t try to do this...
- I know. I don�t have much time left.
408
00:27:57,390 --> 00:27:59,731
- Hey.
- Hmm? Just a second.
409
00:28:10,582 --> 00:28:11,691
What are you doing?
410
00:28:11,726 --> 00:28:15,442
There are, like, 50 simulations I�d like to be running right now,
but the computers can�t keep up with me the irony being that
411
00:28:15,477 --> 00:28:21,342
I�ve actually figured out how to make them run
10x faster but I haven�t had time to actually stop and do it.
412
00:28:21,377 --> 00:28:27,423
Oh, I�ve uploaded the virtual prototype for a hyperspace generator
for the Puddle Jumpers into the database.
413
00:28:27,553 --> 00:28:29,453
Well, that sounds great.
414
00:28:31,172 --> 00:28:34,423
Are you sure that this is how you want to...
415
00:28:34,458 --> 00:28:38,484
spend my last couple of days alive?
Don�t have a lot of choice, do I?
416
00:28:38,519 --> 00:28:41,384
Rodney, I think it�s very decent and noble of you
417
00:28:41,419 --> 00:28:44,594
to want to leave a scientific contribution behind...
but I still believe there�s a chance you can ascend I
418
00:28:44,629 --> 00:28:48,414
If you put your mind to it.
419
00:28:48,449 --> 00:28:51,524
We both know that that is a waste of time.
Maybe you could do it, but
420
00:28:51,559 --> 00:28:57,094
I don�t know if I could, but you are certainly
selling yourself short by not even trying.
421
00:28:57,324 --> 00:29:00,275
To be honest, I don�t have the first clue where to start.
422
00:29:00,310 --> 00:29:02,305
- Stop thinking.
- See, I don�t understand that.
423
00:29:02,340 --> 00:29:07,945
One of the biggest things that holds people
back is that somewhere deep down
424
00:29:08,565 --> 00:29:11,455
they believe they�re not deserving.
425
00:29:11,475 --> 00:29:16,275
- You have to release your burden.
- Oh, please!
426
00:29:16,305 --> 00:29:21,277
I know spirituality to you is a load of mumbo jumbo,
but it does help people find peace with themselves.
427
00:29:21,312 --> 00:29:22,236
But you have to believe.
428
00:29:22,271 --> 00:29:27,666
I�m not talking about religion.
I�m talking about shedding yourself of guilt, of anger, of ill-feeling,
429
00:29:27,701 --> 00:29:30,626
Of anything that makes you feel shame
430
00:29:31,217 --> 00:29:35,397
And then you can focus all of your energy on ascending.
431
00:29:35,838 --> 00:29:38,598
So what you�re telling me is that I don�t think I�m worthy.
432
00:29:38,633 --> 00:29:42,778
Rodney, I don�t know what you truly believe about yourself.
433
00:29:43,428 --> 00:29:47,778
For all I know, you use your intelligence
to compensate, to make yourself feel better
434
00:29:47,813 --> 00:29:50,728
for other things you think you may lack.
435
00:29:50,848 --> 00:29:53,818
- Like what?
- That, I can�t tell you...
436
00:29:53,878 --> 00:29:57,449
but maybe you could start reading your own mind?
437
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,530
Rodney, I don�t care what you�re gonna say.
I�m gonna keep working on this, OK?
438
00:30:17,580 --> 00:30:19,280
Ah, well, I appreciate that.
439
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,070
You saved my life, so the least I can do is try to save yours,
you know?
440
00:30:24,090 --> 00:30:25,891
Radek.
441
00:30:26,671 --> 00:30:32,641
I think it�s safe to say that, uh,
I am at times a petty, vindictive,
442
00:30:32,676 --> 00:30:34,341
...even jealous man.
443
00:30:34,481 --> 00:30:39,281
I sublimate my own anxieties or feelings
of inadequacy by creating a
444
00:30:39,316 --> 00:30:42,052
bubble of hostility around myself.
445
00:30:42,232 --> 00:30:46,661
I know that you, probably more than anyone else,
have had to bear the brunt of that hostility.
446
00:30:46,696 --> 00:30:50,362
- Rodney, you don�t have to...
- Actually, I do.
447
00:30:52,552 --> 00:30:56,553
Here�s the thing: you�re a brilliant scientist,
and a decent human being,
448
00:30:56,733 --> 00:31:02,733
and you should not have had to endure the kind of abuse
that you�ve taken from me in the past few years.
449
00:31:03,303 --> 00:31:07,213
I hope you can find a way to forgive me for
all the things I�ve said and done to you.
450
00:31:07,248 --> 00:31:10,313
You deserve much better than that.
451
00:31:11,474 --> 00:31:13,774
so I wanted you to know that.
452
00:31:16,064 --> 00:31:17,264
Yes.
453
00:31:31,925 --> 00:31:32,625
Rodney!
454
00:31:32,660 --> 00:31:36,425
- Hmm. Mind if I come in?
- Should you be...?
455
00:31:41,596 --> 00:31:46,276
Hope you don�t mind. I was talking with Halling and he happened to
mention that it was the anniversary of the death of your father next week.
456
00:31:46,286 --> 00:31:47,526
He did?
457
00:31:47,536 --> 00:31:50,843
OK, I might have asked a few pointed questions but, um,
458
00:31:50,878 --> 00:31:53,677
I just thought it would be nice if, uh
459
00:31:54,197 --> 00:31:55,847
What I mean is,
460
00:31:56,377 --> 00:32:01,747
I would be honoured if you would
let me share the memorial tea ceremony with you.
461
00:32:01,947 --> 00:32:05,787
I don�t know if it�s wrong to do it early or anything,
but, um, I may not be around next week.
462
00:32:05,797 --> 00:32:10,608
Anyway, I understand it�s something you�re not supposed to do alone.
463
00:32:11,457 --> 00:32:13,088
Thank you, Rodney.
464
00:32:14,047 --> 00:32:16,787
No, no, no, no, no. I know exactly what to do.
465
00:32:16,822 --> 00:32:20,988
You are the one who�s lost a loved one.
I will serve you.
466
00:32:23,758 --> 00:32:25,488
Hey, buddy! Pal!
467
00:32:26,979 --> 00:32:29,959
Been looking all over for you!
Checked the gym, the Mess.
468
00:32:29,994 --> 00:32:33,909
- Wasn�t there.
- No, you weren�t. Usually one of those is a good bet.
469
00:32:33,944 --> 00:32:37,979
So, where are you off to? Shooting range?
A little target practice?
470
00:32:37,989 --> 00:32:41,520
- I don�t need practice.
- Oh, no. No, no, of course you don�t.
471
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,409
Look, I don�t know how much time I have left,
so I�m just gonna cut to the chase here...
472
00:32:45,444 --> 00:32:48,310
ask you a rather, uh, personal question.
473
00:32:48,340 --> 00:32:51,130
Hopefully you won�t just hit me in the face.
474
00:32:52,050 --> 00:32:53,950
Asking away.
475
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,831
Those scars on your back from
476
00:32:57,866 --> 00:33:02,220
your encounters with the Wraith
you know, with the tracking device?
477
00:33:02,261 --> 00:33:06,611
Are those, like, a... a badge of honour for you,
478
00:33:06,646 --> 00:33:10,062
or are they just a constant reminder of
something you�d rather forget?
479
00:33:10,082 --> 00:33:13,182
I mean, I know it�s none of my business. I just...
480
00:33:14,021 --> 00:33:18,202
I try not to let things I can�t change bother me.
481
00:33:19,712 --> 00:33:21,812
That�s very healthy.
482
00:33:38,883 --> 00:33:41,164
I hope you don�t mind.
483
00:33:41,364 --> 00:33:43,504
I just healed them.
484
00:33:58,065 --> 00:34:02,255
- You�re not still trying to find a way out of this for me, are you?
- You think I�m gonna give up?
485
00:34:02,290 --> 00:34:06,255
Look, all the Ancients that experimented with that device,
they either ascended or died.
486
00:34:06,275 --> 00:34:09,586
most of them the latter,
which is why it did not get put into common use.
487
00:34:09,606 --> 00:34:12,136
Like you said, there were exceptions.
488
00:34:12,525 --> 00:34:15,625
Huh. Yes, well, this will all be over soon
and you can get back to some real work.
489
00:34:15,635 --> 00:34:20,727
- Rodney... don�t.
- No-no-no, I�m not fishing for sympathy. I just, uh
490
00:34:21,136 --> 00:34:23,477
Hey, I just wanted to give you that.
491
00:34:23,976 --> 00:34:28,127
- What have you invented now?
- Oh, nothing. It�s a, it�s a book.
492
00:34:28,647 --> 00:34:29,836
About what?
493
00:34:29,906 --> 00:34:31,307
You.
494
00:34:31,527 --> 00:34:35,667
Well, you�ve taken a lot of crap as the leader of this expedition and I just thought someone should leave
495
00:34:35,702 --> 00:34:40,667
a record of all the good things you�ve done -
everything you�ve done right.
496
00:34:40,717 --> 00:34:43,497
Everything I do is on record for review.
497
00:34:43,517 --> 00:34:47,628
Oh, yes, I know, I know. I just thought that
I would have somewhat of a unique perspective
498
00:34:47,663 --> 00:34:49,428
that other people might benefit from.
499
00:34:49,438 --> 00:34:55,078
You know, I actually took the liberty of doing some
research into your past and I included that as well.
500
00:34:55,118 --> 00:34:56,899
Sorry if I�m not a very good writer.
501
00:34:56,909 --> 00:35:01,139
It might be a bit, uh, overly maudlin in places...
502
00:35:03,059 --> 00:35:06,219
Rodney, this is 500 pages long. When did you...?
503
00:35:06,254 --> 00:35:09,039
Anyway, that�s all.
504
00:35:09,609 --> 00:35:11,210
Right.
505
00:35:17,050 --> 00:35:19,900
- What�s it down to?
- It�s not important.
506
00:35:19,910 --> 00:35:24,000
What? Of course it is.
It�s gotta...
507
00:35:24,330 --> 00:35:28,121
- What 17 Hz? It�s not even close!
- It�s closer than you�ve ever been.
508
00:35:28,156 --> 00:35:29,941
Oh, forget it.
509
00:35:30,741 --> 00:35:34,320
Look, if you have to keep asking,
you�re obviously not getting it.
510
00:35:34,356 --> 00:35:38,021
- This is about letting go.
- I don�t know how to do that, OK?
511
00:35:38,056 --> 00:35:41,221
I don�t know how not to be me.
512
00:35:42,002 --> 00:35:44,002
Look, thank you for all of your help.
513
00:35:44,632 --> 00:35:48,441
I think in the grand scheme of things,
we�re... we�re good, aren�t we?
514
00:35:49,982 --> 00:35:51,582
Of course.
515
00:35:52,962 --> 00:35:55,402
Right. Look, if it�s not too much trouble,
I�d like you to read my eulogy.
516
00:35:55,437 --> 00:35:57,932
I refuse to discuss that.
517
00:35:57,972 --> 00:36:03,143
Just keep it simple. Um, make up a few nice things.
I�d like my little sister to be there
518
00:36:03,153 --> 00:36:08,323
and, oh, you should know that I told Beckett that
he should most definitely do a full autopsy.
519
00:36:08,358 --> 00:36:13,374
He can use my body for any kind of experimentation
that might prove helpful, and, uh
520
00:36:13,514 --> 00:36:18,474
Oh, and I�d like to be cremated, with my ashes to be, uh
521
00:36:18,509 --> 00:36:19,473
Rodney.
522
00:36:20,304 --> 00:36:21,724
Rodney!
523
00:36:27,874 --> 00:36:30,585
Medical team to my quarters.
524
00:36:31,885 --> 00:36:35,785
The synaptic activity in your brain
has reached over 90%.
525
00:36:36,065 --> 00:36:40,405
I don�t know why, but it seems the more
pervasive evolved state of the cortex
526
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,905
is causing lapses in the lower brain function.
527
00:36:42,940 --> 00:36:47,216
It�s almost as if your body�s losing
its natural ability to keep itself alive.
528
00:36:47,251 --> 00:36:52,466
When ascension occurs naturally,
the physical body�s no longer necessary in the final stages.
529
00:36:52,501 --> 00:36:55,667
Rodney, I don�t know how much more you can take.
530
00:36:55,927 --> 00:36:59,937
- About 6%.
- There must be something we can do.
531
00:37:00,117 --> 00:37:02,587
It�s OK. You know,
532
00:37:03,307 --> 00:37:06,207
I�m actually feeling a sense of peace.
533
00:37:06,927 --> 00:37:10,567
Interspersed with moments of sheer terror, of course.
534
00:37:10,617 --> 00:37:14,618
Rodney, as far as this ascension thing,
535
00:37:15,138 --> 00:37:18,937
I know you didn�t have much success but at this point,
536
00:37:19,258 --> 00:37:21,258
what�ve you got to lose?
537
00:37:21,478 --> 00:37:25,388
- May as well go out fighting, huh?
- Absolutely.
538
00:37:26,489 --> 00:37:28,138
Hook me up.
539
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,469
Carson?
540
00:37:34,439 --> 00:37:36,099
Thank you.
541
00:37:36,709 --> 00:37:38,829
Thank you for everything.
542
00:37:40,179 --> 00:37:43,380
I only wish I could have done more, my friend.
543
00:37:54,741 --> 00:37:57,241
Clear blue skies.
544
00:37:57,491 --> 00:38:01,290
All my troubles, just drifting away.
545
00:38:02,611 --> 00:38:06,291
OK stop talking now.
546
00:38:09,232 --> 00:38:12,231
Rodney, you�re a good person.
547
00:38:12,611 --> 00:38:14,612
Know that we love you.
548
00:38:15,761 --> 00:38:17,762
You love me?
549
00:38:19,062 --> 00:38:20,262
Really?
550
00:38:20,342 --> 00:38:24,432
- All of you?
- In a way a friend feels about another friend.
551
00:38:24,822 --> 00:38:27,722
You�re just saying that because I�m gonna die.
552
00:38:28,313 --> 00:38:30,623
Oh, God. I can�t believe I�m gonna die.
553
00:38:30,658 --> 00:38:33,943
Alright... just back to the blue skies.
Let your thoughts go.
554
00:38:33,978 --> 00:38:37,243
Concentrate on your breathing
555
00:38:45,074 --> 00:38:46,453
Oh, my God.
556
00:38:56,384 --> 00:38:58,905
He�s not breathing. Quick, bag him.
We need to get him on a ventilator.
557
00:38:58,940 --> 00:39:00,194
Carson, he gave us strict orders
558
00:39:00,229 --> 00:39:04,195
You don�t understand.
He just told me how to save him.
559
00:39:05,205 --> 00:39:07,445
We�re en route. His pulse is very weak.
Are you ready?
560
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:08,745
We will be.
561
00:39:11,386 --> 00:39:12,685
Almost.
562
00:39:19,975 --> 00:39:21,046
Right.
563
00:39:24,566 --> 00:39:26,966
Hurry. He can�t breathe on his own.
564
00:39:30,467 --> 00:39:31,966
OK, stand back.
565
00:39:43,927 --> 00:39:45,228
Rodney?
566
00:39:45,757 --> 00:39:47,848
- It worked!
- Did it?
567
00:39:47,858 --> 00:39:50,718
- Well, I�m alive, aren�t I?
- Sounds like him.
568
00:39:50,738 --> 00:39:52,138
Yes, yes.
569
00:39:52,748 --> 00:39:55,448
I can�t hear one of your thoughts.
570
00:39:56,019 --> 00:39:58,289
The telekinesis has gone.
571
00:39:58,579 --> 00:40:01,279
I�m still smart, I think.
572
00:40:01,549 --> 00:40:03,919
Yes! Yes, I�m me!
573
00:40:04,319 --> 00:40:05,719
- I�m my old self!
- Are you certain?
574
00:40:05,729 --> 00:40:10,550
Yeah, I�m alive! I feel great!
I feel, uh-um Hungry?
575
00:40:10,650 --> 00:40:13,579
- He�s fine.
- And you said it was impossible.
576
00:40:13,599 --> 00:40:18,319
Yeah, it just came to me. I was, I was,
I was floating in this, this big black emptiness
577
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,070
and then the answer just came out of nowhere.
578
00:40:20,105 --> 00:40:22,550
Look, the device was designed to manipulate your D.N.A.
579
00:40:22,585 --> 00:40:26,310
It couldn�t reverse the evolutionary advancement process
because everyone�s D.N.A. was different.
580
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:31,080
It makes certain changes that causes the D.N.A.
to evolve in ways specific to your own unique physiology.
581
00:40:31,100 --> 00:40:35,601
Yeah. In order to manipulate the D.N.A. back to the previous state,
the programme required a precise reference point.
582
00:40:35,636 --> 00:40:39,541
Fortunately I keep blood samples from all the Atlantis team
members for baseline comparisons.
583
00:40:39,551 --> 00:40:43,251
- I don�t understand what any of you are talking about.
- What... what?
584
00:40:43,422 --> 00:40:47,631
- It�s good to have you back, buddy.
- Yes, well... it�s good to be back.
585
00:40:47,666 --> 00:40:48,862
Yeah!
586
00:40:57,332 --> 00:41:00,233
- Hey, how are you feeling?
- Terrible!
587
00:41:00,593 --> 00:41:04,053
- Should I get Carson?
- No-no-no-no-no. Physically I am fine,
588
00:41:04,088 --> 00:41:06,083
but, but this doesn�t make any sense.
589
00:41:06,118 --> 00:41:08,233
I can�t figure out any of these, of these equations.
590
00:41:08,268 --> 00:41:11,218
I mean, the algorithms are complete gibberish.
I mean, this is torture!
591
00:41:11,253 --> 00:41:17,164
I can clearly remember exactly how important this all is,
I cant figure out why or how.
592
00:41:17,199 --> 00:41:20,164
Well, I just dropped by to show you this.
593
00:41:20,854 --> 00:41:24,384
Your E.E.G. readings from your last meditation.
594
00:41:28,134 --> 00:41:29,834
Oh, my God!
595
00:41:30,394 --> 00:41:32,734
0.3 Hz. I did it!
596
00:41:32,769 --> 00:41:36,035
I mean, I was in the zone!
I could have actually ascended!
597
00:41:36,585 --> 00:41:39,785
You said you were floating in a big empty space
598
00:41:39,820 --> 00:41:41,955
when the idea of how to save yourself came to you.
599
00:41:41,990 --> 00:41:44,835
I may have momentarily thought about
how hard it is to rid oneself of ego
600
00:41:44,870 --> 00:41:49,785
and that existence without the individuality
of consciousness would be pointless but
601
00:41:50,406 --> 00:41:54,737
Ooh! Now I say that, that�s probably what gave me the idea
to reprogramme the device with my old D.N.A.
602
00:41:54,772 --> 00:41:56,066
Yeah, I thought so.
603
00:41:56,076 --> 00:41:59,126
Yeah, well, you know what? I don�t care if you don�t think
I was capable of ascension.
604
00:41:59,161 --> 00:42:03,626
I never wanted to do it anyways. In fact, you know what?
I am very happy with who I am.
605
00:42:03,636 --> 00:42:05,437
And you love me.
606
00:42:06,426 --> 00:42:08,968
- What?! I never...
- You so did!
607
00:42:08,978 --> 00:42:13,317
Yeah, I may not be able to understand this new math I created,
but I distinctly remember that you said you love me.
608
00:42:13,352 --> 00:42:15,177
Actually, I said we love you and...
609
00:42:15,187 --> 00:42:17,927
And, what? What, you were just saying that
because you thought I was dying?
610
00:42:17,937 --> 00:42:19,188
No! I said it because...
611
00:42:19,223 --> 00:42:22,458
See?! You love me! It�s true you�ve said it, now I know.
I always suspected it.
612
00:42:22,493 --> 00:42:26,178
In fact, you know what? I�ve always noticed
that there�s been a, um,
613
00:42:26,213 --> 00:42:31,279
indefinable and yet magical chemistry between us
that I think I covered in Chapter 10
614
00:42:31,459 --> 00:42:32,118
Hmm. Rodney...
615
00:42:32,153 --> 00:42:33,919
- You had lunch yet?
- Yes.
616
00:42:33,959 --> 00:42:36,159
Mid-afternoon snack, then?
617
00:42:36,349 --> 00:42:38,349
I will keep you company.
618
00:42:38,359 --> 00:42:43,029
Ah. Now, is Sheppard still bugging you to let him use the
ascension device to turn himself into some kind of a superhero?
619
00:42:43,039 --> 00:42:44,009
Oh Yes.
620
00:42:44,139 --> 00:42:47,790
Despite the fact that the Ancient database states
that its effects on people are wildly unpredictable
621
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:51,800
and that I�m just lucky I wasn�t instantly
melted down into a pool of protoplasm.
622
00:42:51,820 --> 00:42:52,820
Yes.
623
00:42:52,900 --> 00:42:55,980
- Yes. Well, maybe you should let him.
- I think not.
