I may be on the verge

of discovering the true nature
of Destiny's mission.

You've had
control of this ship

the whole time!

Why wouldn't you tell anyone?

The Lucian Alliance

is planning an attack on Earth.

I killed Riley.

I suffocated him
with my own hands.

You are a good
commander.

There is no mission

other than getting
these people home.

It was never
about going home.

It's about getting us
to where we're going.

That is the mission.

Ginn was strangled by Simeon.

And we
received confirmation

that Dr. Perry died on Earth.

I think we have
a connection.

You're aboard the Destiny.
I'm Colonel Young.

Who are you?

I'm Ginn.

If Ginn is in Chloe's body,

whose body
is Chloe connected to?

Chloe?

No, Amanda Perry.

I do have another idea,
the neural interface chair.

We can isolate
each consciousness

and upload them
into Destiny's memory bank.

It worked.

Thank you.

I know it's
only temporary.

But for now, it's
the best we can do.

Mr. Ambassador,

when we first spoke of
using your planet's core

as the power source

to dial the nine
chevron address,

it was a scientific
mystery.

Now it has become
a necessity.

It was always
your intention

to send people.

Not these people.

Not so unprepared.

If we could open
a supply line of equipment

and relief personnel--

Mr. Woolsey--

The planets with the
required properties

to do this

are exceedingly rare.

What's more,

99% of the work
is already done.

Your facility draws power
from the core,

the Stargate is in place--

twice this has
been attempted,

and twice the planets
were destroyed

by a catastrophic
chain reaction.

The overload at Icarus

was a direct result
of the enemy bombardment.

In the second case--

We acknowledge there were
mitigating factors

in both cases.

Nevertheless,
our scientists believe

Dr. Rush's solution
is inherently dangerous.

Which is why we asked you
to come here, sir.

We have a new solution.

Ambassador Ovirda,
Dr. Rodney McKay.

Ambassador, gentlemen.

Just-just take a second
to boot up.

There isn't anywhere
I can plug in, is there?

Ah, it'll be fine.

Knight to Queen's
Bishop five.

Move it
yourself.

Very funny.

You're not concentrating.

Ah, well, I couldn't beat you

when you were
a flesh and blood person.

What chance do I have now?

I'm a person, Nick.

Of course you are.

I mean, what I meant to say,
what I should have said,

is that you're more than that.

I'm still me.

What are you doing right now?

I'm here with you.

And?

And, uh,
analyzing the structure

you found in the database,

and accessing
the ship's sensors

so I can study the nearest...

Wow.

Okay.

You have a point.

So much more than
a flesh and blood person.

Then why is that
the only thing I dream about?

I have the same dream,

and you're in it.

There is a way.

Original Air Date on April 4, 2011

-- sync, corrected by elderman --

Good to go.

Sorry. Now...

I'm sure we're all familiar
with the old adage

"it's all in the algorithm,"
so--

Doctor.
I'm going to stop you there.

All I said was "so."

I'm not a scientist.

No, that's not a problem,
I dumbed it down.

There's no point
in wasting our time.

No, I can talk
very, very fast.

Let me
ask you this.

If our roles were reversed,

would you be so blithe
as to put Earth's population

at risk?

There's no risk.
That's the point.

Hopefully once our
own scientists

have had a chance
to go over your work,

they'll reach
e same conclusion.

There's no time for that.

Colonel--

the Lucian Alliance
wants Destiny.

They know that your facility
can get them there,

and you know
damn well

that they will not
take no for an answer.

There is an excellent argument

to dismantle
the facility altogether.

Don't think that
that will stop them.

They will move in faster.

They will do anything
to get to the Destiny,

and won't give a damn
if they blow up your planet

in the process.

Then don't let them.

If we were allowed
to show you

that McKay's dialing
solution is safe--

That is the price
of your protection

from the Lucian Alliance?

As a life-long practitioner
of diplomacy,

you must understand

that sovereign states
act in their own interest.

The defense of a supply line,
for example.

For example.

If and when our scientists
reach the same conclusion

as Dr. McKay--

No, no, no,
it could take months

for them to understand
the science.

Then that is how long
you will have to wait.

The Alliance
won't be as patient.

I have no choice
but to hope that you're wrong.

Good day,
gentlemen.

The Lucian Alliance
got to them.

He just proved
that to me.

We have to move.

He didn't even
look at my work.

Because he wouldn't
have understood it

in the first place.

You saw
my presentation.

A cat could
understand it.

And he knows
their government

will only listen
to the assurances

of their own experts.

We would do the same.

They've already made a deal
with the Lucian Alliance.

I seriously
doubt that.

I can prove it.

David, how'd it go?

Pretty much
like I expected.

Dr. McKay,

your reputation
precedes you.

Some of it even good.

And you are?

Sorry,
communication stones.

This is actually
Colonel Young,

commander
of the Destiny.

You know Woolsey.

You said
something about proof?

Not exactly,
but, uh, close enough.

We've parked a dozen or so
listening satellites

around Langara.

The communications
are encrypted

in a Lucian Alliance
cipher we haven't broken,

but there's enough
back and forth to suggest

that some sort of negotiation
has been going on

for some time.

Does the IOA know this?

General O'Neill
briefed the chairman

and the President this morning

in an emergency meeting.

We are in
an undeclared war

with the Alliance.

Now, if the Langarans

have already
sided with them,

they could launch
another attack on Destiny

at almost any point.

Without the benefit
of my solution.

Which would make dialing
the ninth chevron

a hell of a lot
more dangerous

for the Langarans.

So we're protecting them
from themselves, is that it?

If that's how
you want to put it, sure.

The
General's authorized

a mission to Langara.

What sort of mission?

We're calling it
a "proof of concept,"

but before we get into that,

we'll need McKay to run through
his presentation.

Oh, okay.

Not here.

Who's this?

That's a good question.
Where's Rush?

He sent Mr. Brody
in his place.

He said
you wouldn't care.

Well, I don't.

Doesn't mean he can do
whatever he wants.

W-what's wrong?

Rush was supposed to
switch with you

and go over
your data on earth.

I thought I was here
to talk to Rush.

No, no, no, you're here
to talk to Eli.

You convince him,
you've convinced me.

Lieutenant,
would you mind?

Yes, sir.

I'll take care
of it.

Rush, this is Young,
where are you?

I'm up here.

Right, of course.

We met at
Stargate Command.

It's, uh,
Vanessa, right?

Yeah.

Hmm.

After you.

No, ladies first.

I'll go.

Hey...

He ran into me,
literally,

a while ago

in a hurry somewhere.

He didn't
say anything?

He said to tell you
he was taking the day off.

What does that mean?

That's what I said.

We just found him.

His vitals
are stable.

There's some kind of
program running

that I've never seen before.

Don't ask,

'cause I don't
got a clue.

Haven't you heard?

He's taking
the day off.

Looks more like
he's taking a nap.

I'm reading delta waves.

Stage four sleep.

Very deep.

So now's when I say
wake the bastard up,

and you tell me
it's dangerous.

Well, it is.

All right, well,
let's find out

what the hell he's doing,
and report back to me.

You are in an immersive
simulation program.

It's already
in the Destiny's database.

In fact, some of you
have already experienced it.

Colonel Young's
no-win scenario.

Mm-hm.

It was already
so capable

of hyper-realistic
sensory input,

all I had to do was

find a way that we could
experience it together.

And that's where
the chair comes in.

In a way,

you're outside of
your physical body right now.

This would've been no fun at all
if it was only in your head.

This way we can
feel each other's touch.

You must have had to put in
some kind of, uh,

conditions

in order for the
scenario to play out.

That was the easy part.

The parameters are so simple

that you should be able
to come and go as you wish.

So it's just
the two of us, then,

in our own
little world.

We have the whole matrix
of the ship to ourselves.

I think we could even
take a shuttle somewhere

if we really wanted to.

Oh, really?

Mm-hm.

Well, maybe we'll
try that sometime.

Mm-hm.

Not now.

Definitely not now.

Greer, are you nuts?

You just donated
a damn kidney.

I just needed some exercise.

There you are!

Sorry, Colonel,
he snuck out.

Listen to me, Ronald,

you're no good
to me dead.

I need you to get back
to the infirmary.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

No, no, no, see, this is where
you are completely wrong.

It is impossible
to make that deduction

because it falls outside of
the boundary conditions.

This changes
the boundary conditions!

It doesn't work that way!

If you make the change,
yes, it does!

Read the writing
on the wall, man--

Listen, kid,
one semester at MIT

does not make you--

Gentlemen...

I take it there are
problems with this?

What?

He thinks
we're talking about

your nine-chevron
dialing solution.

No, no, no, no, no,
we've moved on.

He's very,
very bright, this kid.

I mean, in many ways
he reminds me of me

at that age.

Of course, I was
carrying around a lot less, um--

Hair?

So, it'll work?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I wish I'd thought of it.

Thank you.

Great, just to be clear,

without
blowing up the planet?

I'd say the odds
of that are--

Statistically zero.

Good.

Now, Rush's original
calculations were sound,

don't get me wrong.

It's just that
he was using a trinary

instead of a quad base,
which of course threw off the--

Yeah, I don't
really care,

just as long as Eli says
we're good to go.

Yeah.
Yeah, we're good.

Let's go.

I just got here!

Well, you can
come back anytime.

In fact, we pull this off,
you can come back in person.

This is not
over, mister.

Bring it!

Brody bought
McKay's solution.

Of course he did.

Look, he didn't eat any citrus
when he was in my body, did he?

'Cause I am not feeling well.

I assume this means

you're going ahead
with your mission.

I don't see that
there's a choice.

Of course there is!

Clearly the Alliance
is putting

something substantial
on the table.

If we go to them

with some sort of
a peace offering of our own--

General O'Neill believes

the Alliance will move
in a matter of days

whether they're
invited or not

by the Langaran government.

He also believes the Langarans

would prefer
siding with us

if given the choice.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Well, the goal
of our mission

is to make that choice easier

by proving that
Dr. McKay's solution is safe.

It's safe!

Our secondary goal
would be to determine

whether or not
they've already made a deal

with the other side.

And if we find that out?

Well, then
we will act accordingly.

The Lucian Alliance
is not going to be allowed

to attack Destiny again.

I think I can speak
for both of us when I say

that if your intention

is to take
their facility

by force,

we'll have no part of it.

Well, of course not,
Mr. Woolsey.

We're going to give them
a peace offering.

T.J., any change?

I don't think he's asleep.

He's in something
closer to a coma.

What is wrong
with this guy?

You know what, T.J.
This timing sucks,

but Scott and I,
we've got to do this thing.

You're in charge.

Keep a defense team
in the gate room at all times.

Yes, sir.

I also need you
to check in on Greer.

I ran into him
in the corridor this morning--

What?

Yeah, he didn't look good.

No, he shouldn't be
walking around!

Right.

Aside from
"taking the day off,"

did Rush say anything
that might give us a clue

as to why he did this?

Not to me.

Maybe he couldn't
bring himself

to see how McKay
improved on his work.

Look, I'm not saying

he doesn't have an ego
the size of a bus,

but Rush would kill

to bring people
and supplies from Earth.

So...

What was so important?

Oh, I'm sure
he planned to tell me

at our next heart-to-heart.

Just do me a favor,

get him on his feet

so I can knock him on his ass
when I'm back.

Sorry, I didn't mean
to wake you.

Does it have to be
so hot in here?

It's not.
You have a fever,

which means you're fighting
another infection.

Good to know.

I'll fight harder.

I wish it worked
that way.

It does.

Here.

See, I feel better already.

How's Volker?

Great, for a guy who's
sporting someone else's kidney.

I really
didn't expect you

to be the one
who got sick.

Better me than him.

Why is that?

'Cause I'm strong.

Yeah, you are.

But no more
walking around, okay?

You need to sleep.

That's an order.

Yes, ma'am.

I got nothin'.

You?

There's hardly any
brain activity at all,

it's like
he's not even...

Go back in the logs
as far as you can.

His present physical state
has nothing to do with this.

Holy crap.

Yeah.

That is one hell
of an upload.

Over 900 terabytes

were transferred
into Destiny's memory.

Eli, what am I
looking at?

The complete
and unabridged consciousness

of one Nicholas Rush.

Feels strange
with no one else around.

Thanks a lot.

Eh?

Oh, you know
what I mean.

It must be different
for you, too.

Yeah, it's...
Hard to explain.

I mean, there are hours

when I feel
oblivious to the fact

that there are even
other people aboard.

Yeah?

Like when I'm looking
outside of the ship,

taking in the galaxy
all around us,

and then at other times

I can pore through data
in fractions of a second

that would take me
hours to read

if I was...

If you were a...

What, a person,
you mean?

I much prefer
being here with you.

I mean
physically here.

Existing as consciousness is...

Lonely.

You needn't be lonely
ever again.

You have no idea
how happy it makes me

to hear you say that.

In fact...
If there was a way

for me to interact

with Destiny's
real systems...

We could spend even
more time together.

But we can't.

The system
is isolated.

It wouldn't be
much of a simulation

if it had real-world
repercussions, would it?

We'd best let
Eli and Ginn know

for their sake.

For now is it okay if
we keep it our secret?

Yeah, of course.

I really need to go now.

Do you have to?

Well, for one,

I've been away
long enough

for Colonel Young to start
getting hysterical...

And another is,
I have to work.

So...

Is there a door
somewhere,

or do I just click
my heels together?

It's even easier
than that.

All you need
to do is sit,

close your eyes,

and when you open them,
you'll be back.

And the shouting
and the pointing,

and the demanding of
answers shall begin.

I cannot wait.

But you'll be back
soon, won't you?

Well...

You can always come
and visit me

in the real world.

I know it's not
the same thing, but...

Hey, at least you know
I'll love you for your mind

as well as your body.

Yes.

Go, sit.

I'll come say good
night to you later.

I'll see you then.

Amanda...

It didn't work.

Defensive positions!

I am unarmed.

Mr. Woolsey!

You are not expected.

I am here at the request
of my government,

bearing gifts
for both the ambassador

and your chief administrator.

Should I call him
for you, sir?

Not yet.

What sort of gifts?

Symbols of our friendship.

Artifacts carved
by the ancients themselves

over a million years ago.

I-I would prefer it
if you didn't--

You don't think
I would allow you

to give something like this
to administrator Halpurn

without looking
it over first.

All right.

Well, Captain?

Is it acceptable?

Looks fine to me.

Then I may present it
to the administrator?

Absolutely.

Excellent.

I know the way.

What is this?

You're on board the Destiny.

I promise you
you won't be harmed,

and you will be returned
to your own body shortly.

Woolsey!

What are you
doing here?

He's brought
a gift, sir.

For you
and the ambassador.

I've already inspected it,
I'm sure it's harmless.

Captain, what
you should have done

is instruct Mr. Woolsey
to return home immediately.

At least read the inscription on
the bottom of the stone.

Please.

How is this possible?

That I can't
tell you, sir.

Just stay calm.

This shouldn't take
too long.

We, uh... we
pulling this off?

So far so good, sir.

What the hell am I wearing?

SG-1 teams
four and five

should be arriving
in five minutes.

Well, let's go welcome them
to our facility.

It should have worked.

Well, there's no point
in panicking just yet.

Maybe you should
try it again.

I have tried.

Maybe I can shut
the simulation down

another way.

No, Amanda, that's
a really good thought,

but you can't do that
from in here.

This system's isolated,
you told me so yourself.

In fact,

nothing you're
doing at the moment

is having any effect
whatsoever.

I don't know how
I could have been so stupid.

Well, now, that's...

That's one thing you're not.

It's probably
just a glitch.

Probably,

but I can't leave,

and you can't fix it
from here, so...

Right.

You'll be all right?

I'll be fine.
You go.

Ginn! Ginn!

Eli!

She's in
the ship's memory.

It's not like she can hear you
any better or worse

out there.

Then why isn't she
answering me?

Why are you so sure
she can help us?

I think I know
what Rush is doing.

Because Ginn and I
had the same idea,

and I think they talk.

What?

In their
ascension research

the ancients experimented with

the transfer of human
consciousness all the time.

I mean, it's how
the stones work, right?

We have no clue.

Why would he do that?

Okay,
so this is a little...

Night before last,

Ginn was visiting me
in my quarters.

We were talking, and I
said something like...

"Wouldn't it be great

if we could do more
than talk?"

You mean actual
physical contact.

Yeah.

Oh, you mean--

Yes, yes,
that's what I meant.

Honestly, I was-I was
just thinking out loud,

but the suggestion

did not
go over well.

Well, Eli, she just died

and had her consciousness
uploaded into the ship's memory,

and you're just thinking
about getting your--

What?

No! No, no, no, no...

That part she was all for.

Then why?

Because she said
it would be dangerous.

Why?

You don't think uploading
a human consciousness

and back again
is a little... dangerous?

When I tried to talk her
into it anyway,

she got mad,
or depressed,

or some combination
of the two,

and I haven't seen her since.

I'm sure the
discoveries we make

will be of great benefit
to both of our worlds.

Well, the ambassador and I
couldn't agree more.

We're happy to help
in any way we can.

Our people will be
dialing in momentarily.

Of course.

We have agreed

to attempt dialing

the Stargate's
nine chevron address

immediately.

This will be done
to prove the viability

and the safety
of such a connection

so that we will be able
to provide ongoing support

to their people
on the other side.

Now, I am confident
that there is no danger.

Captain?

A team from Earth
will be arriving shortly.

We will give them
our complete support

and cooperation.

Stow your weapons.
These people are allies.

Dismissed!

Captain,
what's going on?

Well, I overheard them.

They've offered
to share in everything.

Information,
technology--

The administrator said
drawing that much power

could overload the core.

Rip open
the planet's crust.

Yeah, he's good.

What?

He was bargaining.

I'm sorry
I was gone so long.

I've been having

quite existential
time of it, actually.

Trying can to perceive
the difference

between this place
and the real world,

and if there is one,

well, I haven't
found it.

So you'll still
come back, then?

Well, I have to go away first
in order to come back.

Well, that shouldn't be
a problem anymore.

Never a doubt.

What was
the problem?

Actually...

It was Ginn.

Ginn?

What has she got to
do with this, then?

I don't think
she approves of this.

None of her bloody business.

I know, but somehow her
disapproval manifested itself

in keeping you here.

Colonel Telford,
gentlemen, welcome.

McKay...

Dr. Rodney McKay.

Right.

With your permission,
administrator,

we'll get started.

The facility
is at your disposal.

McKay, put us to work.

Right, uh, you and your team

check to make sure
the power relays

are still connected
to the Stargate

while I hook up to
their woefully antiquated

excuse for a mainframe.

I want somebody

on every entrance
of this building.

It's a big
building, sir.

Well, use their own people
if you have to.

Should we have
another go, then?

Bye.

We'll see.

He's back, he's back!

There's no need to shout.
They can see me.

What the hell
were you thinking?

I thinking
I'm rather hungry.

How long have I been away?

Almost 12 hours.

That seems about right.

You know, if you're
going to do

something like this,

you should
tell someone.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Young is
pretty pissed!

Yeah, well, he can
shout at me later.

How could you be
so blase about this?

You could have
died in there--

You can shout at me
on the way to the mess

if you like.

I don't believe it.

Amanda said it was

some kind of subconscious
act of disapproval.

Ginn would never
hurt anyone.

It doesn't matter
anyway. I'm back.

W-what was it like?

Entirely...Personal.

We're not
going to be able

to keep up this
charade forever.

How long is this
going to take?

I gave you my best guess

in the briefing.

You also said
you'd re-assess

once we got here.

Well, the facility
is already drawing power

from the naquadria core,

which speeds things up
considerably.

On the other hand,

this is more or less
1940s technology,

which can
slow things down.

Then again, there's the

"they don't build things
like they used to" factor--

One hour or two,
McKay. Which is it?

If we end this
conversation right now,

I can still manage
the former.

Sheppard's right.

About what?

Perhaps now would
be a good time

to undertake our
secondary objective.

By all means.

I'll show you
to my office.

How can you possibly
control the power flow

from so small a device?

Because,
technically speaking,

as far as
you're concerned,

I'm from the future.

Dr. McKay
appreciates your help.

What is it with genius
and social skills?

Hmm?

Never mind.

We're good to go as far as
the Stargate is concerned.

Good, good.

Just loading the program,

so 10 minutes, tops.

I'll just
come right out and ask.

Once we've proven
we can do this,

would you be interested
in joining Destiny's crew?

Well, I never actually--

I know that you can
pretty much

write your own ticket

as far as assignments
are concerned,

but there isn't a more
exciting mission out there.

Well, there is
the niggling issue

of not being able to get home.

Not yet,

but we get
the right people aboard,

return Destiny
to its former glory--

if that's even possible.

That why I need you.

I thought Colonel Young
was in command.

Let me rephrase,
that's why we need you.

Mandy...

I just wanted to make sure
you got back all right.

Home again.

I'm glad.

I was worried.

I know you were.

The last thing
I would ever want is...

What the hell was that?

An emergency shutdown
of the FTL drive.

Ginn?

I don't think
there will be any damage,

but I needed
the distraction.

Dr. Rush is in danger.

I know, we've been
trying to get him out,

and I've been
looking for you...

It was a mistake.

She didn't do it
intentionally,

but there's no way out
of the simulation.

Who are we talking about?

Dr. Perry.

I tried to reach out
to you sooner,

but she keeps
stopping me,

or suppressing me.

It's hard to explain.

It's taking
all of my concentration

just to be here.

Why would she do that?

She's trying to buy time
to solve the problem

in her initial programming
of the simulation,

but she can't.

The only way to end this
is from the outside.

You have to do it, Eli.

How?

You have to--

Ginn!

Ginn...

Hey, what happened?

I sensed
a potential overload

in one of the FTL
drive modules.

I was able to stop it
with an emergency shutdown.

Very good.

So...

Should I leave you to work,

or can we sit
and talk a while?

Well, I should work, really.

I'll see you soon.

Sure.

We have a problem.

You couldn't find proof?

Oh, I found proof,
all right.

That for the past
several months,

the Langarans have
steadfastly refused

to have anything to do
with the Lucian Alliance.

It doesn't take that long
to say "no."

In each exchange,

they've been offered more,
much more,

and each time
they refused,

apparently
out of concern

for jeopardizing
their alliance with us.

I told you--

Woolsey, we had damn
good reason to suspect--

Yes, because of
our spy satellites.

This changes nothing.

I believe it's for
you, administrator.

This is administrator Halpurn.

Sir, I don't know
who you've spoken to,

but there is nothing
to be concerned about.

Everything is...

Ambassador?

They're on their way.

Shouldn't you be
trying to get me

out of the neural
interface chair?

I might

if you were still in
the neural interface chair,

but seeing as how...

What are you doing?

Nothing to be concerned about.

You're dialing
the shield strength back

all over the ship.

Yeah, not to worry.

No, you-- stop!
Stop! Listen!

If the shield strength
drops below four percent,

the ship will rip itself apart!

You'll be fine.

No! No, I won't!

Why are you doing this?

Because I haven't left
the simulation yet, have I?

It's time for me
to find a way out myself.

This isn't the way--

look, all simulations
require parameters,

conditions beyond which

the programmed scenario
can no longer continue.

If this doesn't stop it,
I don't know what will.

No, Nick,
this is really happening.

You're going to kill everyone
on this ship.

I don't think so.

David, we need
to reconsider

what we're doing.

Better to beg forgiveness
than ask for permission.

That's what my dad
used to always say.

That only made sense
when we could

achieve the dial-out
before we got caught.

We still can.

McKay, what are you
waiting for?

The program is...

Running.

Listen to me,
Everett,

I need to get back there,
and you need supplies.

Sir, there's a sizable force
gathering outside the building.

Chevron one is encoded.

If I could have
your attention, please!

For safety reasons,

I need all
Langaran personnel

to leave this room immediately.

Thank you.

There's no time.

We should stop now
and dial Earth.

No! We can't quit now,
not when we're this close.

This will be a
diplomatic disaster.

I give a damn about
those people on that ship,

I make no apologies
for that.

If we stop now,

we give up any chance
of helping them!

And if we don't stop,
people will get hurt, David.

We've got
two trained SG units,

plus you and me.

All we need to do
is hold them off

until we can make
a connection.

Chevron two encoded!

Then what?

We stand down.

We explain what happened,
the whole thing,

but at least we will have
proven to them that it works.

Chevron three encoded!

Sir?

Do not fire!

I repeat,
do not fire

unless fired upon!

Everett, I do not
want to hurt anyone

any more than you do,

but we've only got
one shot at this.

You want to get back
that bad?

Not just for my sake.

This place can be
Destiny's lifeline.

Chevron four encoded.

We know what you're
attempting to do,

and it will not
be tolerated!

Ambassador, the Earth's
delegation has convinced me

that there is no danger.

I don't know
who you are,

but administrator Halpurn
would never agree to this.

Chevron five encoded!

Our forces have been
instructed to open fire

if the dialing process

reaches the eighth chevron.

We just want to
prove to you

that it can be done,
that's all!

The choice is yours.

Power levels?

Well within
my predictions.

So it would have worked?

Absolutely.

Chevron six is locked,
by the way,

and I would not
be standing there.

They won't shoot.

Colonel...

Look, I may just be
the brilliant scientist

relegated to shouting out
the obvious

in terms of
chevrons here,

but while I'm
stating the obvious,

this mission is
already a failure.

It's only going to get worse.

Thank you.

Shut it down.

There's no way to
shut down the simulation.

Why not?

Because Perry's the one
who programmed the parameters.

Unconsciously or not,
she's keeping him there.

So what
are we doing?

Ginn told me

the only way to do it's
from the outside.

Dr. Perry pulled her
away from me

before she got the words out,

but I'm pretty sure I know
what she was going to say.

Why did you do that, Nick?

To prove
that it wasn't real.

Why did you lie to me?

I-I thought it was
some kind of glitch.

I thought it was something
that I could repair.

They could just
keep your body alive

while I found a way.

You wouldn't have to worry.

So what do we do?

It's out of my hands now.

Ginn finally
got through to Eli.

It was never her fault,
was it?

No.

It was
an innocent mistake

in programming the parameters
of the simulation.

It was so simple that nothing
could go wrong--

W-what were the parameters?

I don't blame you.

For what?

Amanda, what were they?

That we love each other.

That's all.

That was the only thing
that needed to happen,

and then you could
have come and gone

as you wished.

I love you, Nick.

But you don't--

No!

No, no, of course I do.

That can't be
the problem.

It's not something
you can will to be true.

But it is true.

I love you.

This wasn't fair to you
to begin with.

I've felt this way about you
for most of my life--

No, no, Amanda,

please listen to me,
here, now,

I mean,
not the verdict

of some bloody program.

We don't have much time.

Eli has already started
deleting the memory

where our consciousness
is stored.

You and Ginn?

It's the strangest feeling...

Well, stop him.

I can't.

No, try!
Protect yourself!

I know you blame yourself
for my death,

but don't.

Okay?

Because if that
hadn't happened,

then I never
would have felt this.

I do love you.

I swear it.

Goodbye.

Is that you?

Yeah, it's us.

Yeah.

How'd the mission go?

They've agreed
to release our people

in exchange for the defense
of their planet

from the Lucian Alliance,

also the removal
of the Stargate

from their power facility, so...

Mission not accomplished.

Speaking of

letting prisoners free...

Oh.

They seemed decent enough.

I didn't think there'd be harm

in showing them
the ship and crew

that they were
trying to help.

I hope that was all right.

Lieutenant,
in the grand scheme of things,

I think that was
the best decision

any of us has
made all day.

What happened?

How did I get here?

You've actually been back
for a couple of days.

It just took you that long
to come out of the coma.

Eli, what the hell
did you do?

What the hell did I do?

I transferred the memory
where they were stored

into quarantine.

They're cut off from
the rest of the ship now

and us.

They?

There was no other way.

That's what Ginn said,
so that's what I did.

To save you.

No, Eli!

Forget it.

You need to rest.

In fact,
you're lucky to be alive.

Listen to her, doc.

She knows
what she's talkin' about.
