All language subtitles for Stargate Atlantis Season 05 Episode 03 - Broken Ties

McKA Y: Previously on
Stargate Atlantis.

Ara, Rakai!

(LAUGHS )

(RAKAl CHEERlNG)

Me, Rakai, Ara, we're your friends.

You belong with us.

You want to hit a Wraith lab?

Having a ship would make things
a whole lot easier getting us in and out

before any reinforcements arrive.

We'll go this way. You go that way.

Contact us if you find anything.

Thank God, it's you three.

RONON: You're Wraith worshippers?

What did they do to you?

ARA: They rewarded us
with the gift of everlasting life.

-Rakai, no!
-No weapons.

(SHOUTS lN RAGE)

RONON: Run, and get away while you can,

because the next time we meet,
it will not be as friends.

RONON: You getting any sleep these days?
TEYLA: Not much, l'm afraid.

TEYLA: Although things are a little easier

now that Kanaan's request
has been granted

and he's been allowed to return
from the mainland.

How's he liking life in the big city?

Well, he's happy
to be reunited with Torren and l,

but he's having difficulty
adjusting to life on Atlantis.

(RONON LAUGHS )

Yeah, l hear the shower scared him.

And you once stunned Dr. Gero
at your own surprise birthday party.

He spooked me.

Uh-huh.

lt's difficult for Kanaan.

He has Torren and me, of course,
but l still think he feels isolated.

Yeah, well, he just needs
to make some new friends.

You should get him
to come by the gym some time.

-We could spar.
-Thank you.

That's very kind of you,
but l need him in one piece

for the foreseeable future.

You're no fun.

(TEYLA LAUGHS )

RONON: Hey, hey.

Hey!

TEYLA: Ronon!

(GRUNTlNG)

(GROANS )

Tyre.

The Daedalus confirms the results
of your preliminary search.

There's no sign of Ronon's subcutaneous
transmitter anywhere on that planet.

That means he's still alive.

lf Tyre wanted him dead,
we would have found a body.

Unless he just took him somewhere
to exact a slow revenge.

l don't mean to sound overly negative,

but from what l've heard,
his mind is seriously warped.

And yet he didn't kill me.

lt would have been safer for him
to leave no witnesses.

So perhaps,
despite what the Wraith did to him,

Tyre still possesses
his Satedan sense of honor.

lt didn't stop him from ambushing you.

We can use that Satedan sense of honor
to help us find Ronon.

WOOLSEY: How do you propose
we do that?

We get a Satedan to help us.

You happen to have one handy, do you?

Teyla knows where one is.

-Solen Sincha.
-WOOLSEY: Who?

He is a survivor
of the Wraith attack on Sateda.

Ronon and l encountered him

on a trade mission to Belkan
two years ago.

Judging by your description,
he isn't exactly

the settle-down kind of guy.

l mean, what are the chances
he's still gonna be there?

There's only one way to find out.

(WOOLSEY CLEARS THROAT)

Mr. Woolsey, permission to go offworld?

(SlGHS )

-You have a go.
-Great.

And, Teyla,

will you be accompanying
Colonel Sheppard and Dr. McKay?

l only ask because l've yet to receive

your formal request
to return to active duty.

Of course she'll be returning. Right?

l've yet to make a decision
about my future with the team.

Oh.

Okay.

However, l would still like to accompany

Colonel Sheppard
and Dr. McKay to Belkan.

Of course.

(GRUNTS )

Teyla !

Where's Teyla?

l left her back on the planet.
Don't worry, she's fine.

You know l wouldn't hurt her.

Do l?

l accept the fact
that you no longer trust me,

but l'm hoping that will change in time.

Sateda is gone.

We're the last of our kind, Ronon.
We're brothers, not enemies.

We're brothers?

So l should just forgive you
for setting me up last year?

lf you had just listened to reason,
things could have been different.

Ara and Rakai would still be alive,

and we'd all be working together again.

As Wraith worshippers and traitors
to the memory of Sateda?

Hell, no.

Of course not. l see that now.

You're blinded by the past,

lied to by your so-called friends
on Atlantis.

But l still have faith in you, old friend.

You just need to open your eyes
to the truth.

All right.

Just untie me, and l'll listen
to what you have to say.

Would that be before or after
you try to beat me unconscious?

l don't know. You choose.

Or l could just surprise you.

l don't doubt it.

What's wrong with you?

l'm not well.

But l've been worse.

You know where we are?

You remember Sarif Sur, don't you?

Yeah. You almost died on that run.

We both nearly died because
you refused to leave me behind.

You risked your life to save me.

Today

l return the favor.

Solen Sincha.

(GROANS )

Go away.
Can't you see l'm trying to sleep?

-We need your help.
-Ronon Dex is in trouble.

Ronon Dex is always in trouble.

Well, his life is in danger.

Again! What else is new?

What kind of trouble has he
gotten himself into this time?

He was abducted by a fellow Satedan,
a Wraith worshipper by the name of Tyre.

(SlGHS )

You mean former Wraith worshipper.

Word is, the dog disappointed his masters,
so they turned him loose.

That's uncharacteristically kind of them.

Not exactly.

So long as he's on the run,
he's a living, breathing example

of what happens to humans
who disappoint them.

Tyre's a marked man now.

Most anyone l know
would kill him on sight.

lt's just a matter of time.

He was once a proud Satedan,
not unlike yourself.

TEYLA: He was subjected to unimaginable
torture. Perhaps he had no choice.

There is always a choice.

He could have chosen death
like a true Satedan.

SHEPPARD: Any idea
where we can find him?

lf l knew that, he'd already be dead.

All right.

-Tyre's not thinking straight, right?
-Sure.

So it's probably just a matter of time
before he slips up.

And when he does,
l'm assuming your leads will hear about it.

-Probably.
-So what do you say

you contact us when you hear something?

We'll deal with Tyre and save you the trip.

All right.

To Ronon.

Look at you. You can barely walk.

Let me get you some help.

l'm beyond your help.

lt's the Wraith, isn't it?
What they do to you?

At this point,

it's not so much what they did to me
as what they aren't doing to me.

Giving you life? Reverse-feeding
or whatever the hell it's called?

lt's hard to describe.

The sense of euphoria it offers is...

(EXHALES )

You became addicted to it.

You can't understand it
unless you've experienced it yourself.

lt was a gift,

one that was denied me after l allowed
you and your friends to escape us.

Free me, l'll get you some help.

l promise.

Help is already on the way.

For both of us.

What does that mean?

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHlNG)

What the hell did you do?

l've saved us.

Ronon Dex.

l looked forward to the day
when you would finally serve me.

Well, then, l'm gonna feel real bad
disappointing you.

l'm sure you'll try.

But in the end, you'll come around.

(RONON GROANS )

TEYLA: Mr. Woolsey.

Teyla, any news on Ronon?

-Not yet.
-l'm sorry.

l suppose we can draw comfort
from the fact that he is a proven survivor.

He defied the odds
for many years as a runner.

Yes, he did.

How can l help you?

l wanted to apologize
for not having come to you sooner

with a decision regarding my position
on the colonel's team.

Take whatever time you need.

lf necessary, l can assign someone
to fill in for you.

Oh...

Mr. Woolsey, do you have children?

No.

But l did have a Yorkie for many years.

lt's a small dog.

Ah.

But my wife got him in the divorce.

l loved that dog.

l never really had the chance
to say goodbye.

So, no. No children.

Then, with all due respect,

you may not understand
how difficult this is for me.

For most of my life,

l never imagined the possibility
of leaving my people,

not even for a moment.

And then circumstances changed.

And after realizing
a far more important role

on Colonel Sheppard's team,

l never imagined the day would come
when l would have to let it go.

And now here that day is.

Five years ago, if anyone had asked me

if l ever planned on taking a job
outside of the Milky Way,

my answer would have been a definite no.

And now...

Look at me.

So,

while l can't empathize,

l certainly do sympathize.

Believe me, l know priorities change.

And sometimes they don't.

Teyla, l'm sure Kanaan will support you

whatever decision you make.

Yes. Of course he will.

Thank you, Mr. Woolsey.

(SlGHS )

(RONON GASPS )

How does it feel to have your life stolen?

To be pushed so close to the darkness,
only to be pulled back from the brink?

From what l understand,

it's a magnificent sensation.

(PANTlNG) To be honest, l've felt better.

WRAlTH: Defy me all you want.
Your fellow Satedans were no different.

Like them, you will eventually submit.

l'll die before l submit.

No, you won't.

(SCREAMS )

McKAY: Hey. You're up early.

lt's 10:00 a.m.

lt is?

(GROANlNG) Oh, God.

l didn't sleep at all. l was up all night
thinking about this Ronon situation.

-You got anything?
-Nothing. l tried everything,

pacing, snacking, bathing.

-Bathing.
-(SlGHlNG) Yeah. Like Archimedes.

You mean that Greek scientist
who had a crush on Teyla?

No, like the Greek mathematician

who came up with
the Archimedes Principle,

the physical laws of buoyancy.

According to legend, the idea came to him
when he was sitting in the bath, so...

Look, the point is that the revelation
occurred while he was relaxing,

not thinking about the problem.

And the solution, as it turns out,
was right in front of him all along.

You think we've overlooked something?

l don't know. Maybe.

Look, all l know is
l was up all night going over it

and l'm drawing a blank,
so l could use a fresh perspective.

l'm not taking a bath with you.

Let's just go over what we know.

According to Solen, Tyre's on the run.

Now, we can assume he's operating alone,

because if he had backup,
they would have been in on the ambush.

Right. He's alone with Ronon on the run.

So where would someone like that go?

Well, l can think of something like

200 uninhabited planets
that would be perfect.

-Where do you want to start?
-How about Sarif Sur?

-What?
-We just got a message

from Ronon's buddy, Solen.

He hears that Tyre and Ronon
are holed up on a planet called Sarif Sur.

Thank you, Archimedes.

Major, get your team and gear up.

Yes, sir.

There's just no point in holding on.
You're just putting off the inevitable.

lt's better if you just accept it.

You mean better for you, don't you?

The Wraith cut you off
and this is your way back in,

by offering me up as sacrifice.

No.

(CRYlNG) You're not the man
l risked my life for.

You are a traitor
to the memory of our people.

You have no honor.

(DOOR OPENS )

Things are progressing too slowly.
l have other matters to attend to.

We can continue this process
back at the lab.

And when will l receive my reward?

(RONON GROANS )

Your reward?

l brought him here as we agreed.

ln exchange, you promised
to restore our previous arrangement.

-Did l?
-You promised!

(GRUNTS )

l'm afraid l'm going to have to disappoint,
since your usefulness has come to an end.

(YELLS )

We'll get him.

See that you do, colonel.

SHEPPARD: Nothing.

(McKAY SlGHS )

So we were wrong.
lt has been known to happen.

Hey, l always said this was a long shot.

LORNE ON RADlO: Colonel, this is Lorne.
We've got something.

l knew it.

Over here.

LORNE: We checked his pulse.

LORNE: lt's barely there.
We gotta move him or we lose him.

-Where's Ronon?
-Good question.

KELLER: His injuries are minor,

but both his heart rate
and blood pressure are elevated.

He woke up about an hour
after you brought him in.

He was delirious.
He was sweating, nauseous, trembling,

so l sedated him and ran some tests.

After giving him a drug
that blocks opioid receptors,

l noticed a drop in dopamine levels here.

A central link in the brain's reward circuit.

Right. Meaning?

Meaning this type
of neurochemical activity is identical

to that of reforming substance-users.

He's going through withdrawal.

l need you to save him, Doc.
Right now, he's our only lead.

lf he dies, our chances
of finding Ronon go with him.

Of course. But it could be days

before he's coherent enough
to tell us anything.

John!

Why wasn't l informed
about the mission to rescue Ronon?

We were playing on a hunch.
We had to act fast.

l'm going to go see
if they're still serving lunch.

lt's Taquito Tuesday.

l think l'll join you.

l'm surprised that you would be so quick
to move forward without me.

Don't put this on me.

You're the one having second thoughts
about returning to the team.

l cannot give you the option
every time we're going offworld.

This is not an easy decision for me.

You think you're
the only one feeling pressure?

l've got Woolsey pushing me hard
to find a replacement for you.

-What did you tell him?
-l told him

that l wasn't going to do anything
until l talked to you.

Now, if you want to join the team, great.
l'll call Woolsey. l'll make it happen.

But if you want to spend time
with your son, l understand. l do.

l really do.

You gotta make a decision.

WRAlTH: You're finally awake.

The procedure can be very taxing.

You've been unconscious
for the better part of a day.

You're wasting your time.

l'll die before l turn,
just like Marika and Hemi.

(CHUCKLES )

l'm afraid you're mistaken.

Your friends didn't die
because they were strong.

They died because they were too weak
to withstand the process.

Their minds and bodies eventually
shut down under the strain.

But you...

You're stronger.

And it is your strength
that will prove your undoing.

(SCREAMS )

(SCREAMS )

KELLER: He broke through his restraints
this morning and injured two guards,

so l thought it would be best
to put him in isolation.

At least this way if he breaks free again,

he won't be an immediate danger
to anyone.

How long is it going to take him
to go through this?

To be honest, l'm not even sure he will.

Please! You're killing me! Please!

Can't you give him
something for the pain?

Sedatives will make him
more comfortable,

but they'll also slow down his recovery.

l want this to go as quick as possible.
No sedatives.

(SCREAMS )

(SCREAMlNG)

(GASPlNG)

(SCREAMlNG)

(SOBBlNG)

(WHlSPERlNG) He's already sleeping?

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

(WHlSPERlNG) Why does it take so much
longer when l try to put him down?

(WHlSPERlNG) You worry too much.

Perhaps he senses your anxiety.

Maybe he prefers the comfort
of his mother's presence.

Well, there may be times
when he will have to learn to do without.

Does that mean you've decided?

l thought so.

How can l return to the team
with the knowledge

that every time l step through the gate,

there is a chance
that l might not come back?

That given the dangers,
there's a possibility

that our son will grow up
without a mother?

You have a responsibility to him.

But you also have a responsibility
to the people of this galaxy.

Follow your heart without remorse.

And take comfort in knowing
that you'll be doing so

to safeguard the future of many,

including your son.

Just promise me
you'll be careful out there.

He's been awake and lucid
for about 10 minutes now.

SHEPPARD: What did he say?

Only that he wanted to talk to you.

(DOOR OPENS )

l know where they've taken Ronon.

Can you give us a gate address?

Better. l'll lead you right
into the heart of the facility.

Well, you're still recovering.

Dr. Keller told me
there were no longer any traces

of the Wraith enzyme in my system.

-That's not the point.
-Colonel, please.

Let me help you get Ronon back.

(HlSSlNG)

No retreat in the face of battle.
No sympathy for the fallen.

No mercy for our enemies.

No retreat in the face of battle.
No sympathy for the fallen.

And no mercy to your enemies.

Our enemies.

Atlantis.

Atlantis.

No mercy.

SHEPPARD: He seems rational,
says he wants to help us.

l say we trust him
only as much as we have to.

Use his intel,
but he stays here, under guard.

lf you want to hit that Wraith facility,

we're gonna need all the help we can get,

and apparently he knows that place
inside and out.

Yes, and is thus in the perfect position
to lead you right into a trap.

All right, look. l think as much
as he'd like us to believe it,

this is not about regaining
some lost honor

or some Satedan revenge thing.

Pure and simple,
this is about a desperate guy

who's willing to do anything
to help his buddy.

And how can you be
so certain of that, Colonel?

Because l've been there.

Now, we have a chance to get Ronon,
and l'm gonna take it,

and you're gonna need
to trust me on this.

All right.

Major Lorne's team
will be accompanying you.

What is it? What's happening?

We know where Ronon is.

-l'm coming with you.
-Gear up.

Teyla, this is exactly
the kind of decision we were...

l was just about to meet Kanaan
in the cafeteria.

Would you please explain to him
the situation?

-lt's all right.
-You... You...

Please.

All right.

Well, well, well, who have we here?

(BABY CRlES )

Cafeteria. Cafeteria.

(GRUNTlNG)

This way.

(SCREAMS )

TEYLA: What is this place?

TYRE: You were looking for a target area

that would maximize the effects
of your explosives.

Well, this is it,
the facility's power relay chamber.

Hide your charges to avoid discovery.

Let's go.

l assume you have a means
to remote detonate from a safe distance?

Yeah. Just flip... Click.

This way.

(BEEPlNG)

-Ronon.
-RONON: Sheppard.

lt's about time.

What's going on, buddy?

We were beginning to wonder
if you'd ever show up.

You're at a disadvantage.

You can attempt an escape,

but you'll have to sacrifice
your friend's life to do so.

Ronon, get out of the way.

l can't do that.

Ronon, step aside.

His life wouldn't be the only one forfeited.

Tyre.

Lower your weapons.

Take them away.

Ronon, what's happening here?

Ronon!

l assume this is a prize worthy of reward?

Welcome back.

Well, you know, on the bright side,

at least we'll never have to
go back to Atlantis

and hear Woolsey say, ''l told you so.''

SHEPPARD: We're gonna get out of here.

Oh, sure. l mean, all we have to do
is escape from this cell, right?

Then get past all of the armed Wraith
that are guarding the facility

and free Lorne and his team
from wherever they're being held

to get back to the Jumper, which is
probably being disassembled as we speak,

and, right, of course,
we've got to rescue Ronon,

who, l don't know if you happened
to notice or not, isn't quite himself.

We're gonna get Ronon
and we're gonna go back to Atlantis.

McKAY: And even if we do, then what, huh?

l mean, Tyre's recovery
hasn't exactly been

the rousing success we were hoping for.

We're going to get Ronon back.

Yeah. Of course.

(SlGHS )

We're gonna get him back.

RONON: You waste a huge opportunity
by killing them.

They have no use to me
beyond the information they can provide.

You underestimate their value.

ls it their value l underestimate,
or your loyalty l overestimate?

Ronon's right.

They're much more useful to you
alive and cooperative.

They just need some convincing.

All right, l got it.

We tell them
we have some vital information

that we're willing to give up,
but we will only share it with Ronon.

So they send Ronon,
he shows up, we appeal to him...

l mean, the part of him that's still him.

Well, l can only think of three things
wrong with that plan, but go on.

He hasn't been brainwashed
as long as Tyre,

which means he might be
more susceptible to our influence.

We convince him to let us out
or lead us out of here,

and then, worst-case scenario,
he's not entirely convinced...

That's your worst-case scenario?

Hey, l'm just spinning here,

but, you know, we could take advantage
of that moment of uncertainty

-and...
-TYRE: Sheppard.

You've been summoned.

You want to go over the plan
one more time?

No. No, l think l'm good.

l guess it's my turn
for the sales pitch, huh?

Wait. We need to get something.

(GRUNTS )

Kneel.

You know what would be
really creepy and unexpected,

is if you knelt instead.

(EX CLAlMS )

(GROANlNG) God!

l guess not.

(GASPlNG)

All right, l'll try to make it work.

l appreciate your defiance.

Ronon, l really need you
to snap out of it about now.

lt will make turning you
all the more enjoyable.

(SCREAMS )

(GRUNTlNG)

(GUN FlRES )

(BOTH GRUNTlNG)

Teyla ! McKay! How'd you get out?

-Tyre freed us. Let's go.
-Okay, come on, guys.

Go, go, go!

-How's it going?
-Not so good!

(GUNS FlRlNG)

My guys are holding them off,
but not for much longer.

Give me that.

Tell them to back off.

My life will be a small price to pay
for the lives of you and your team.

(GRUNTS )

Then how about the destruction
of this facility?

ls that a small enough price as well?

You lie.

l told them where to hide the charges
for maximum effect,

enough explosives to destroy this place
and all its research.

Any advantage your hive may hold
over its rivals will be gone

with the push of a button.

Wait!

Tell them to let us through.

What's to stop you from triggering
the explosives from a safe distance?

My presence here.

You let them go. l'll remain behind.

-Tyre...
-Once they've reached the gate,

l'll trade you this device for my freedom.

Or we all die together.

Let them go.

l'll be right behind you.

Let's go.

You turn your back on an incredible gift?

Actually, you turned your back
on me first.

And l thank you for it.

SHEPPARD ON RADlO: We're clear.

You are not beyond forgiveness.

lt's not too late for you.

Yes, it is.

For both of us.

(LOUD GRUNTlNG)

What kind of a time frame
for recovery are we looking at?

KELLER: lt's impossible to predict.

He has so much of the enzyme
running through him

that his body can hardly process it.

KELLER: When it eventually does,
that's when he'll come down,

and he'll come down hard.

l'm gonna talk to him.

Open it.

There he is.

-Hey, buddy.
-Buddy.

So, how long are you planning
on keeping me prisoner?

As long as it takes to clear your head.

-My head is clear.
-Well, you may be feeling fine right now,

but things are gonna
get pretty rough for you.

We're gonna get you through this.

Whatever you got planned,
it's not gonna work.

You got a choice,

you either kill me or you let me go.

And if you let me go,

l promise l won't
come after you or Atlantis.

You can tell Tyre
l won't come after him either.

Tyre's dead.

He sacrificed himself
taking out the Wraith lab.

Yeah, well, he was a traitor.

No, he was a good friend.

We all are.

You're gonna realize that pretty soon.

Yeah, well, you just kill me or set me free.

Sheppard!

You kill me or set me free!

Sheppard!

(GROANlNG)

Kill me please!

Please kill me!

RONON: No!

(GRUNTlNG)

(SHOUTlNG)

(PANTlNG)

McKAY: l had what they called
piano fingers, slim, nimble.

Well, it's really no surprise
that my parents signed me up for lessons.

My first teacher, of course,
hailed me as a natural.

Big Russian woman,
Polanski or Baranski or...

-Sheppard.
-Definitely a ''ski.''

Ronon?

Hey,

how do you feel?

Like hitting someone.

Anyone in particular?

You, if you don't loosen these straps
and get me something to eat.

That is a good sign. That's a good sign!

McKAY: He's back! He's back!

WOOLSEY: So he's fully recovered?

Well, physically he's still weak,

but his blood work shows no traces
of the enzyme in his system,

so he should be back
to his old self in no time.

Good to hear. Well, it's late.

l think l'll head back to my quarters

and change into
something a little more relaxed.

Good night.

John, may l have a word?

Yeah. Sure.

(CLASSlCAL MUSlC PLA YlNG ON STEREO)

Teyla, come in.

l thought you said you were changing
into something more relaxed.

For me, this is more relaxed.

-Can l offer you a drink?
-No, thank you.

l just spoke with John,
and now l would like to make it official.

l'm requesting a return to active duty.

l would like to resume my position
on Colonel Sheppard's team.

You're sure this is what you want?

Very much so.

Well, then, welcome back.

Thank you, Mr. Woolsey.

-Good night.
-Good night.
