Original subtitles

This is what Destiny intended from the moment it entered the star system.

We are going to survive.

We are going to make it home.

I'm telling you, the ship came here for a reason.

Destiny is powered by the stars themselves.

He and Young are bumping heads, yes.

Not sure which camp is the better choice.

We just pretend nothing happened.

We need to be ready for the next encounter.

For the sake of the crew.

For the sake of the crew.

Well, the convulsions have stopped,

but he's completely unresponsive.

He's basically in a deep catatonic state.

This is Scott, sir.

We are in a bit of a pickle down here.

We haven't found any other sort of exit

or access to ground level.

We've got less than half an hour.

We're not going to make it.

They just jumped.

God be with you, Colonel.

All of you.

Colonel Young?

Colonel Young?

Yeah.

We're all here, sir.

I'm on my way.

Dr. Rush has just confirmed

that our current FTL jump

will take us between galaxies.

Which means it could take some time

before we are able to make another gate connection

to replenish our supplies.

Strict food and water rationing will be reinstated

as of now.

It also means

that any hope of rescuing Chloe Armstrong,

Eli Wallace, or Lt. Matthew Scott is...

Colonel Young,

would you please join me in the control interface room?

I'll be right there.

That is all.

I've figured out

Why the ship's been trying to conserve power.

We're going to fall short.

Short of what?

Our destination, the other galaxy.

No matter how I do the sums,

and to what degree I try and conserve power,

Destiny won't make it across the void.

But we just passed through a star.

We should be recharged.

Yes, we did, but like everything else on this ship,

Destiny's FTL drive and power reserves

are nowhere near 100 percent

The database says the ship barely made

the last three or four intergalactic jumps.

Recent battle damage couldn't have helped.

But if the ship realizes that it can't make it,

why is it trying?

It's programmed to follow a predetermined path.

Since we haven't managed to take control of the ship,

our presence is secondary to that.

Destiny will eventually drift the rest of the way,

but our bones will be dust by then.

So, what do we do?

Well, I'm open to suggestions.

How much will we fall short?

50,000 light years, give or take.

Just a few percent of the total.

Yeah.

So, what if we can increase the FTL drive's efficiency?

Work better with the same amount of power.

Yeah, five percent would do it, actually.

We don't know how the engines work,

At all.

We could just make things worse.

Mr. Brody's right.

So am I the only one here who thinks

We shouldn't be screwing around with ancient drive technology

Unless we have a clue about what we're doing?

Then we'll bring aboard someone else that does.

I can think of two or three people off the top of my head.

Who's the best?

Amanda Perry.

She was part of the team

helping to design

the next generation of hyperdrives.

There's really no one better qualified.

Well, let's make that happen.

Let's make arrangements to get her on board.

Colonel...

For all her abilities,

there are certain disabilities

of which you should be made aware.

For how long?

Potentially several weeks.

Of course, there'll be someone to assist

with the day to day things.

She requires a respirator

in order to breathe.

Obviously,

there's going to be some kind of adjustment.

Will I be able to see my family?

They've got clearance.

Then I'll do it, sir.

Lieutenant?

You all right?

Mandy...

Nick.

Yeah.

God, I'm really here, aren't I?

You sure are.

It takes a moment

To get used to the transfer.

You're telling me.

I'm sorry, sir.

I couldn't do it.

Lieutenant...

Just leave her. Leave her.

So Lieutenant James had trouble

Getting used to the ventilator.

I'll be fine.

Fix the ship.

Ms. Wray?

Yes.

Good. Take all the time you need to adjust.

This is mary.

She'll be your helper while you're here.

Hello.

She'll also brief you on h to cope

With your host's disabilities.

Afterwards, Dr. Strom was hoping to see you...

No.

I'm going home.

Hey...

I couldn't do it.

Yeah, I know. I heard.

It's okay.

No, it isn't.

I let him down.

The Colonel?

Hey, listen, he's the last person that...

I recognize you.

Excuse me.

As I was saying, this is the mess hall,

One of the places you probably want to try

and avoid, really.

What are those?

They're a kind of fruit

we collected from a planet we visited recently.

May I try one?

I'll warn you,

most people find these rather bitter.

Most people spit them right back out.

This is the first food I've been able to feed myself

since I was nine.

T.J., this is Young.

Have you seen Rush?

He turned his damn radio off.

I think I've gotten you in trouble.

They're on their way now, sir.

I took my vacation time.

All of it?

Yeah.

We have a lot of lost time to make up for.

You got rid of the ugly chair.

You can do better than that.

Five or six percent would do it.

That's the thought.

The problem is

how to do that without any access

to the ship's core systems.

Or for that matter, any knowledge

of how they work in the first place.

I'm just saying.

Show her everything you've got.

Nicholas?

It's me again.

We came out of FTL.

Something's happened to the ship.

Okay, listen up,

I promise to get to everyone,

but right now,

I need anyone who has a potential head injury

or internal trauma

to move to the front of the line.

Don't be shy.

T.J.!

Put us to work.

Anyone who's shaky, don't take any chances.

The quiet ones could be in the worst shape.

What about you?

I'm fine. Go.

Are we under attack or not?

No.

It was a malfunction.

He's right, there's no sign

of any hostile ships in range.

Not that I can tell, anyway.

What happened, then?

I think there was an explosion

In the FTL drive.

We're adrift.

Why?

An overload?

It could be anything.

Can we access the engineering spaces?

Not without a space suit.

Most of the ship's unpressurized.

Best to check the damage from outside the ship.

I can fly a kino pretty well.

Get to it.

You two monitor from here.

I'll use the stones to report this.

Mandy, are you sure you're all right?

For a second there,

I was back on earth in a strange house,

Back in my own body again.

The link is temporarily severed when we go in and out of FTL.

I'm sorry, we weren't expecting that to happen.

I'm fine.

What do you remember?

I was walking,

Then I was somewhere else,

And I don't know how I got there.

Then the explosion happened.

So the lapse happened before?

Well, sometimes concussions can cause short-term memory loss

And confusion.

We'll just keep you here tonight,

Make sure it's nothing more serious.

T.J.!

He was on the floor.

I couldn't tell if he was hurt or not.

Okay, put him over here, guys.

Franklin?

This is volker.

Are you getting pictures?

Yeah, we see it.

So is there anything I need to worry about?

I've been with Amanda a long time.

We'll need to monitor her blood pressure,

And there's a few other things

I need to show you

That just come with the territory,

And she'll be fine.

I'm sorry, it's just I'm new to all this.

You'll be fine too.

What's happening?

Incoming wormhole.

This is Rush.

We have an incoming wormhole.

Sgt. Greer, please meet me in the gate room

with a defense team.

I need everybody out of here!

That won't be necessary, Sergeant.

Whoa, whoa, don't shoot!

Stand down!

Told you.

Oh, my brother.

Greer!

I didn't expect to see you again either.

What do you mean you weren't expecting to see us?

Didn't you guys figure out a way for us to dial in?

I joined a book club.

Yeah, it's supposed to be all women,

But there are a few enlightened young men

Who stop by

And claim to have an interest

In 19th century chick-lit.

Can we concentrate on eating right now?

Sorry.

Sorry.

You know what, why don't I do that?

Yeah, we'll be fine.

One at a time.

Got it.

This isn't, freaking you out, is it?

You're here.

That's all that matters.

Here.

Well, we were pretty much resigned to the fact

that we were stuck out there.

Talk about feeling like a third wheel.

And then on the second night,

the kino remote just lit up.

I guess I just thought

you guys must've figured something out.

We dialed back,

and here we are.

I didn't think it was possible to miss this bucket.

Do you people realize

you just scared the crap out of us?

Sorry, sir.

You're forgiven.

So, are they going to live?

Looks like it.

That planet couldn't have been all that bad.

That's good.

Because if we don't get the FTL drive fixed,

That's where we'll all be going.

Really?

Really, Eli.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to put you

right back to work.

Welcome back.

How's he doing?

Same,

but something changed since we got stuck.

Doesn't he look different to you?

Maybe.

It's like he's in there,

and he knows exactly what's going on,

but his brain and his body

just aren't connected anymore.

I don't know.

I talked to Rush,

and he says I'm probably just imagining it.

Maybe I am.

I mean, I haven't slept in I don't even know...

Why?

I keep having the same bad dream.

I am stuck in a dark room,

But I'm not me, and I can't get out.

Are you claustrophobic?

Little bit.

Maybe it's some weird phantom memory

From your switch with Dr. Perry.

Hey, math boy,

Got those calculations I was asking about?

Done.

And plea don't call me that.

I know what that's like.

Nick called me "little miss brilliant"

A couple of times, and it stuck.

Nick?

Nicholas.

Rush?

We were colleagues back at SGC

a couple of years before Icarus.

He used to like to bounce ideas off of me

when he was working on that ancient proof

that you ended up solving.

Congratulations, by the way.

Look where it got me.

I would do anything to be here.

Anyway, after Nick's wife passed away,

we used to have these long talks

about his work and my work,

the ancients,

ascension.

It was like he didn't even see the chair.

I tried calling him

"Mr. Brilliant" a few times,

but I don't think he ever got the hint.

You had a thing? For him?

What's wrong with that?

I just find it kind of surprising.

Why, because a disabled person can't have feelings for someone?

I meant because you were... You were talking about him.

Yeah...

Thanks for this.

Sure...

Rush?

You've got something?

Dr. Perry's concluded that the explosion

May be to our advantage.

How?

There was an overload.

One that probably shouldn't have happened

Because the system is unbelievably robust

With more safeguards than I can count,

But it happened,

And as with most overloads,

It happened in the weakest link.

The FTL drive is made up of

16 separate modules.

The one that blew up was the weakest link

Because it was the least efficient.

So the ship can fly on the other drives?

Even better than that.

Without the worn-out drive

Bringing down overall efficiency,

Destiny should be able to make it across the void.

That's great work.

I wouldn't pat anyone on the back just yet.

We still need to isolate and bypass the damage.

And with no access to the core systems,

It has to be done manually.

Or...

Or what?

The robot we found.

We think it might be able to do some,

Or maybe all of the repairs.

I've already programmed rudimentary instructions

To begin the repairs.

Scott, this is Young.

Eli and Dr. Perry have a shuttle mission

To brief you on.

Copy that, sir, I'm on my way.

What are the odds?

That this is going to work?

Fair to middling.

Time's an issue.

There is another option.

Right, the chair.

Well, if we can gain access to the core systems,

We can bypass that damaged section

In a single command.

Tell you what,

If it comes right down to it,

I'll sit in the thing myself.

Getting into position now.

Opening rear hatch.

Okay, we're good.

Here we go.

Come in.

Oh, hi.

Hi.

I'd like permission to join the team

Going through the stargate to the planet.

Scott's going.

He's a little busy flying the shuttle right now.

He's already on his way back.

So is this how it's going to be?

Maybe I'd like to see the planet

Where I might have to raise our child.

You mean, if the ship isn't fixed by then?

Yeah, maternal instincts, I guess.

Okay.

Permission granted.

Thanks.

T.J...

I'll be careful.

Lt. Scott found fresh water due east of the stargate.

That'll be your first stop.

We should check out

As much land as possible

In case we end up having to live there.

Send it.

You know, we just came from there.

This is a waste of time.

It's standard procedure, Eli.

If you ask me,

Sometimes you military people are a little too...

Holy crap!

Did you see that?

I saw. Shut it down.

Looks like they found your camp.

Can they get through the stargate?

Not without a remote.

Lucky we weren't still there,

or else they'd have one.

Either way, we're cut off.

We have to fix the ship.

You know, I could just go to the corner store.

We need a decent grocery shopping.

We're almost out of everything.

Okay.

I shouldn't be long.

I'll be right back.

I could've gone.

I want her to get out of the house.

Even if it's just for an hour.

Well, that's it. You've done it.

That isolates the drive.

Well, that was the easy part.

We'll start on the bypass in the morning, eh?

You guys don't do much for fun

Around here, do you?

Well, there is Mr. Brody's still.

You have a still?

Come and see.

So I'm in a room, but I'm not me.

What do you see?

Nothing. Blackness,

But I know that I am not alone.

What if it isn't a dream?

Thank you, Mr. Brody.

Cheers.

Now, be careful.

This stuff has only one redeeming quality.

We make do with what we have, right?

Yeah.

Speaking of,

how are you managing

Without your coffee?

Well, I must admit,

That's been one of the most difficult things

About being stuck up here.

Oh, well, the hardships.

I think "insanity" is the proper word.

There and back again.

I've even had dreams about the stuff.

Well, for years after my accident,

I had dreams that I could walk.

Yeah, no, I remember you telling me that.

And then I get to do this, and it's...

It's all happening.

God, it's like a dream come true.

Yeah.

But we have to fix your ship.

We do.

And then I'll have to wake up.

Sir?

Yeah?

I think...

I think I was the one who damaged the ship.

I'm starting to notice that redeeming quality

you were talking about.

You'll have to ask yourself

if it was worth it in the morning.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

After your wife passed away,

and we'd have those long talks,

did you have any clue how I felt about you?

I thought you felt sorry for me.

I guess I thought the same about you at first.

I thought you were absolutely brilliant.

Remember I used to call you

Little miss brilliant...

Yeah, just forget about that.

I could never be sorry about that.

Good night.

Nick...

Yeah?

Would you like to come in?

Yeah.

Look, I'm sorry, darling, I'm sorry.

I can't do this.

Why?

I just, I can't do this.

Nick...

It's me.

I think we both know

It's a bit more complicated than that.

The word is "insane."

Yeah.

But this is also

A once in a lifetime chance for me.

Mandy...

You know,

Probably better than anyone,

How I was when gloria passed away.

I recently experienced

Something that made me go through it all again.

More than a dream.

As real as this is to you now,

And I can tell myself that it's been years

All I like.

But in my heart

It's just happened again.

Well, at least this time...

I can do this.

Oh, sorry, I...

What is it?

The Colonel needs to see you in the interface room

right away.

Both of you.

Is everything all right?

No, it's about to hit the fan again.

Let's go.

You were gone for hours!

I know, I'm sorry.

I locked my keys in the car...

I thought you had gotten into an accident.

I imagined you being taken away

By an ambulance!

No. No, no, no, no.

Oh, God, Camile, I'm sorry!

My imagination just went...

Hey, hey, hey...

I know what it's like

To wait for someone you love to come home.

I'm here now.

I know.

I know...

Okay.

Mary?

Mary! Mary!

I don't know what's happening.

I'm just going to elevate her legs

Above her heart to stabilize.

You're doing fine, just try and stay calm.

We were just talking, and then she...

I don't know.

What's going on?

She's going to be okay.

Lieutenant James left the comm room

Without wiping her imprint off of the stone.

It got knocked onto the table, and nobody noticed.

We think that in that opportunity,

An alien might have taken advantage,

Used the stones, and sabotaged our FTL drive.

She told me she blacked out

Around the time of the explosion.

I thought it was post-concussion syndrome.

Well, mystery solved.

I don't see how it changes anything.

What part don't you get?

They know we're out here.

Yeah, they already did.

Without a tracking device,

There's no way of them knowing where we've dropped out of FTL.

Yeah, he's right.

The void is unimaginably huge.

They can't know our location.

Unless the alien who took over James's body

Managed to broadcast it.

Like a subspace message, you mean.

Or the alien

figured out our position before the explosion

and took it back with them.

How would it know how...

They sabotaged the ship.

How did they know how to do that?

He's right.

That's it, then.

They're coming.

I'm so sorry.

Don't be silly.

I brought this on myself.

Forgive the intrusion.

Come on in.

Colonel Young

just used the stones to report.

There's a strong possibility

that Dr. Perry may have to return to her body

In the next several hours.

We think it's best that she returns

To an air force facility.

We'll say our goodbyes.

I'll wait outside.

Let's go!

This is Young.

While repairs to the ship

are still days from being complete,

despite our best efforts,

we believe an attack will happen at any moment.

Shields will not withstand a sustained bombardment.

This time, we will not be able to jump to FTL.

Neither can we escape through the stargate.

Lt. Scott will be in charge of our ship's defenses.

Follow his orders as you would mine.

If boarded, Sgt. Greer will coordinate the strike teams,

but everyone will have to join in our defense.

We'll give them a good fight.

When the time comes, don't wait too long.

It'll be okay.

I want you there

To talk me through it.

This is all my fault.

I panicked.

The chair...

They're here, sir.

Tell me what to do.

We've managed to isolate

The damaged module from the rest.

You have to command the ship to enter FTL

on the remaining drives...

How the hell do I do that?

Well, first you have to sit in the chair.

Wait!

Dr. Franklin just spoke.

Something about the chair.

What about it?

That's it, that's all he said,

But I think he knows what's going on,

And I think he was trying to say that it should be him.

You can't possibly know that.

Well, no, sir, but I really think that...

We're under attack. I'm going to do this.

No, wait a minute, she might be right.

I can't ask a man to sacrifice his life, Rush.

Franklin's already been through the process.

His brain will have had time to heal...

We don't have time for this!

Which is exactly why it should be him and not you.

At least give him the choice.

Dr. Franklin...

Dr. Franklin?

This ship is under attack.

If someone doesn't go back and sit in the chair

And help the repairs,

Then the ship's going to be taken.

We're all going to be taken.

Do you understand

What we are asking you to do?

Concentrate your fire on the smallest ships.

They're going to try and board us.

Go back to your team.

Yes, sir.

The temperature's dropping fast.

Any idea why?

I don't know. This is something new.

Go.

Something's happening.

Sergeant, keep an eye on that door.

Yes, sir.

Dammit! Greer?

We're about to be boarded right on top of your position.

Copy that.

Colonel? I thought you were...

The FTL drive is powering up.

Does this mean you fixed the ship?

Camile?

No, it's me again.

Don't you hate that?

What's our status?

The damaged section of the ship

Has been bypassed.

The FTL drive has increased efficicy.

It's a bit early to say,

but it looks like we're going to make it across.

We did it.

Yes, we did,

and now it's time to go.

It's not a very nice thing to say,

but I do hope you need my help again.

Well, I'm not above arranging that, you know.

Bye, Mandy.

Bye, Nick.

Nicholas?

Welcome back, Camille.

Anything happen?

You'd know better than I would, sir.

I was watching a closed door.

Did it stay closed?

Yes, sir.
