You know, when they told me
I'd be travelling to another galaxy,

visiting strange new worlds,

defending humanity against
unimaginable alien threats,

this just is not what I pictured.

We could be saving Earth,
right here, right now, major.

Oh, yeah? How's that?

Through a greater understanding

of the longterm effects of severe
ozone depletion on plant life.

You may not want to admit it,
but it's a real danger.

Oh, yeah. Sure.

Global warming, Wraith attack.

I see the similarity now.
You're right. Yeah, it's great.

Hey, not too far, doc, okay?

Oh, not to worry, major.

I don't think there's much chance
any animal could survive

the longterm effects of exposure
to the sunlight on this planet.

So not a place to build
a summer home?

Oh! It's the fact
this vegetation is thriving.

Somehow, it's managed to persist

despite what should be extremely
destructive ionizing radiation.

Oh, would you look at that?

Now, what is a Williamsonia
sewardiana doing here?

Major!

Doesn't look like the sun killed him.
What do we do?

Coughlin, this is Lorne. Any activity?
COUGHLIN No, sir.

I got a dead sucker here.
Looks KIA, no more than a day old.

We're on our way.

Come on, doc.
Let's get you back to the gate.

I don't understand.

Well, neither do I.

All I know is he didn't do that
to himself. Come on, let's go.

Is the gate covered?
Coughlin and Reed, yeah.

Found a dead Wraith,
shot several times.

Looked like bullets, but it was
hard to say. The guy was a mess.

The Genii use such weapons.

Dr. Beckett is performing
an autopsy.

Here he is now.
I'm not done, not nearly.

But you might like to know this:

The enzyme sac in the right arm
has been removed.

Ford.

What's going on?
Thanks for coming, Rodney.

I was right in the middle of-

WEIR:
P3M-736, we found a dead Wraith.

Maybe killed by Ford.
He could still be there.

Wait a second, 736?

The UV index during the day
is something like a thousand.

Bring your sunscreen.
Be ready in 10 minutes.

What? I wanna get Ford back
just as much as everyone else.

But have you seen my complexion?

Yes.
Yes, it's very fair.

Extremely fair.

This isn't fair.

Colonel.

Colonel.
Something urgent?

We think we have a bead on Ford.

So I heard.

That was fast.

Protocol dictates all senior officers be
notified of situations code orange and above.

How does that go again? Red, orange,
blue, or the other way around?

Do you mind if we go over that?
Colonel.

You don't have to remind me of our
respective positions or that you outrank me.

I was wondering if I needed to remind you Lieutenant
Ford is a threat to the security of this base.

He's also a friend in need.

His condition forces him
to seek out the Wraith.

If caught, he would compromise-
Look, I'm gonna find him...

and bring him back.

According to Dr. Beckett's report, there may
not be anything that can be done to help him.

With all due respect, I hope you're
not saying what I think you're saying.

Lieutenant Ford has already proven
resourceful enough

to penetrate security
and escape the city.

I'm saying, if you encounter him

and there's any chance whatsoever
his capture might prove elusive,

you are duty-bound
to eliminate the threat.

Lieutenant Ford may have been
your friend, but he's not anymore.

I know you understand.
You'll do what's right.

You didn't seem to have a problem with
mercy when it came to Colonel Sumner.

Dismissed.

Lifesigns detector is useless.
I told you so.

Just preserving your streak
of being right, officially.

Dr. Parrish believes
the indigenous plant life

retains enough residual radioactivity
absorbed during the daylight to,

well, to screw up our sensors.

Making it the perfect place to hide.
Yes.

Or the perfect place to be exposed

to dangerously high levels
of solar radiation.

Any activity while we were gone?
No, sir.

Let's start a sweep.
Teams of two.

Radio contact every 20 minutes.

How come it smells
like I'm on vacation?

Could it be the simulated
tropical aroma of cocoa butter?

Strong enough for anyone
within five miles to smell you.

Oh, yeah, like they haven't been
tipped off by the Aqua Velva.

It's dark.

Yeah, and the sun will be up in two
hours, 43 minutes and 10 seconds.

It's raining.
So we'll be cold and miserable.

Look, cloud cover will depreciate
a small percentage of UV rays,

but 95 percent of deadly
is still deadly.

Dr. Parrish said a day or two
of exposure wasn't gonna kill us.

Yes, and Dr. Parrish has a
PhD in what? Right, botany.

Teyla, you're with me.
Coughlin, take Billick.

Reed, you and Sherman
cover the gate.

And, major, you've got McKay.

Oh, lucky me.
Here, try some. SPF 100.

A hundred?
Yeah, can't buy this.

I make it myself. Waterproof too.
Great.

You have any idea what a lone Wraith
would be doing out here on foot?

No. It is unusual.

Perhaps Lieutenant Ford was able
to lure him through the gate.

It looks as if someone might have
headed off in this direction.

McKAY: So exactly what kind of special training
do you have to go through to get this mission?

"You guys"?
Yeah, you know.

Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines.
It's a great place to start.

By "this mission," you mean
hunting down a weapons expert

hopped up on Wraith drugs in
the pitch black of an alien planet?

Yes.

Actually, I skipped that course
in major school.

Yeah, I was afraid of that.

I was hoping Lieutenant Ford might
recognize a friendly face

and just turn himself in.

What, you mean me?

You were friends, weren't you?
Yeah.

When we weren't out on harrowing
missions, we used to hang out.

I'd share my dreams
of a self-sustaining fusion,

he'd talk of how you could sever
a man's torso with a P90.

What, that means quiet?
Get down, get down, get down.

What? What?

I thought I saw something move.

What is it?
I heard something.

Ford?

Is that you? It's John.

Aiden, listen to me.
We wanna help you. Please.

Just come out.
We only wanna talk.

What?

Say something.

What?
Talk to him.

Well, what if it's not him?

Ford?

You there?

It's your best friend, Rodney.
Rodney McKay.

Everyone misses you
back at Atlantis.

Dr. Beckett's figured out
a way to help you.

You've just gotta trust me and-

Colonel Sheppard, it's Major Lorne.
In pursuit of suspect.

What? So are we.
Where are you?

We're two klicks south
of the Stargate. Where are you?

Ah!

What is it?

I lost him.

Colonel Sheppard?

Stand by. Teyla's been hit.

Ah!

Colonel Sheppard, say again.
What's your position?

Colonel Sheppard, please respond.

Colonel Sheppard, come in please.

Colonel Sheppard.

We haven't heard from them since
2630 Atlantis Standard Time.

I know the lifesigns detector
doesn't work there.

Can you use the Jumper
to search from the air?

No, ma'am.
The foliage is far too dense for that.

I'll send another team to assist.

Anyone you could spare
would be great.

Anything else you need?

Elizabeth, it's Rodney. Yes, hi.

There are four class-one
radiation suits in Med Lab storage.

We'll need them all.

What? I know there's not enough
for us all, but we can take turns.

Any sign of Lieutenant Ford yet?

No, ma'am. Not that we can confirm.

The fact is, we don't even know
this is Ford we're dealing with.

Ford?

Colonel?
You okay?

My head is pounding.

Where are we?
I don't know.

But I was just about to ask him.

You might wanna be careful
where you point that thing.

Looks like you got the safety off.

Okay, be that way.

My guess is if you wanted us dead,
we'd be dead right now,

so why don't you tell us who you are
and what you want?

All right, I'll go first.

I'm Lieutenant Colonel
John Sheppard.

I am Teyla Emmagan.

Colonel?
It's my rank. Military designation.

Specialist Ronon Dex.

That's you?
Name and rank.

Military?

I used to be.

Go! Move, move, move!

It was a long time ago.

And now?

Now I'm deciding whether to kill you
and your friends.

Okay, listen up.
I want regular radio contact.

Report anything unusual, and I'm
talking anything unusual at all.

All right, move out.
Hey, wait.

Aren't any of them gonna, uh...?

Okay, that's just reckless.

There are four suits.

Not exactly designed for moving
through dense brush and rough terrain.

Not to mention possible combat, huh?
No.

But by my calculations, we've been
exposed to 327 millisieverts

since the sun came up.

May not sound like much to you,

but I've been keeping a running tally
of my lifetime exposure to radiation,

x- rays, cell phones, plane rides,

that whole unfortunate Genii
nuclear reactor thing.

My God, last week, we flew dangerously
close to the corona of a sun.

As it is, I may have
to forego reproducing.

Yeah, that's funny.

I was just thinking
that might be wise.

Look, the men guarding the Stargate
are highly trained soldiers

armed with deadly weapons.

Stargate?
Stargate. Big circle thing.

I've always known it as
the Ring of the Ancestors.

No matter.
I have to make it through it.

Look, we didn't come here
looking for trouble,

and the whole killing thing
is really unnecessary.

If your friends try to stop me-
They won't if I tell them not to.

Untie us,

we'll all go to the gate together,
and you can be on your way.

But why should I trust you?

That's a good question.

Teyla, why should he trust us?

We mean you no harm.

We are only here
searching for a friend.

Ah!

Drop it.

I saw him, your friend.

Where? When?

He killed the Wraith
who was hunting me.

Hunting you?

Why are you looking for him?
His name is Aiden Ford. He's sick.

He needs our help.

I thought he'd been
in the sun too long.

It can make you sick here.

We know that,
and that may be true,

but that's not all that's
wrong with him.

Then why is he running from you?
Well, he's not, exactly.

Then what is he doing...

exactly?

It's complicated.

You can do better than that.

Colonel Sheppard?

Teyla?

This is Major Lorne.
Do you read?

It's so hot.
Oh, come on.

Step it up, McKay, would you?

I am moving as fast as I can.

I'm very hot.
Aren't you hot?

Actually, I'm quite comfortable.

But I'm not wearing
a 50-pound rubber suit, am I?

I can't breathe. I've gotta stop.

Sweet relief. Ah.

I think the fumes from the sunblock
are making me dizzy.

I gotta just...

rest here.

Unbelievable.

The Wraith was feeding on him.

Apparently, they inject some sort
of drug into you when they feed.

He killed the Wraith

got an overdose of the drug.

It kind of messed him up.

But we think we can help him
if we can find him.

What is that?
Radios.

Communication devices.

Our people are trying to contact us.

The cave must be causing
some interference with the signal.

What the hell are you doing?

Getting my hand free.

Doesn't feel that way.

Okay, you've had your fresh air.
Come on, let's go.

Shouldn't we head back?
It's been half an hour.

It's been 15 minutes.
Oh, really? I thought-

It feels longer.

Wow, you must really be
some kind of genius.

Well, as a matter of fact, I...

Wait a minute.
See, why would you say that now?

Something kept Colonel Sheppard
from shooting you all this time.

Yeah, yeah, like I didn't
see that one coming.

Mayday! Mayday!
We are under attack.

Lorne's been hit.
I repeat, we are under Wraith attack!

Will you relax, McKay?

Ford.
How about you drop your gun?

I know what you're like with weapons. I wouldn't want
it accidentally going off while it's pointed at me.

Right.

Good. Now you and me
can catch up.

Dr. McKay, what is your position?
Please respond.

Major Lorne, come in-

Let's go.

We can't leave Major Lorne.
He'll be fine.

No, I...

You know that the sunlight
on this planet is dangerous.

Not for me.
Well, actually-

Listen, McKay, you guys all think
I'm crazy or something

No, no one thinks that.
Sure.

Here's the thing, I'm not just fine.
I'm better than fine, really.

This is the best thing
that ever happened to me.

Good. Good for you.

I can prove it. You just have
to give me the chance to prove it.

Sure. Let's head back to the Jumper-
No way.

First, I'm gonna prove to you that I'm
okay, that things are better this way,

and then you can go back
and tell the others,

and then they'll let me come back.

You can come back to Atlantis now-
No.

First, we have to save
Sheppard and Teyla.

Right, and you know where they are?
Yeah.

Which way did you...?

So obviously the Wraith
didn't destroy Atlantis.

Anything else happen
since I've been gone?

Uh, Major Sheppard got promoted
to Lieutenant Colonel Sheppard.

Really?
Yeah.

Good for him.

Yeah.

Keep your hands
where I can see them.

I told you I have to
get through the ring.

Why?
The Wraith are coming.

How do you know?
I know. They're hunting me.

Join the club.

You are a runner.

I have heard stories, but...
What's a runner?

I was captured during
a culling on my planet.

I was taken to a ship.
A Wraith started to feed on me.

Something made him stop.

They operated on me.

Put some sort of tracking device
in my back, and released me.

They hunted me.

I hunted them back.

I've been running ever since.

Don't do it.

Like I said, we're not here
to get in your way.

That's good.

Ah!

Ugh!

You're lucky I had that set to stun.

McKAY: Sure this is the right way?
Yeah, sure. Keep moving.

You say this guy has them?
Yeah.

What guy?
I don't know.

What do you mean, "What guy?"
A guy.

Look, I was on a Wraith planet.

P3X... P3X-447? 447?
I know the address.

And there are Wraith there?
Yeah. A whole hive ship.

Anyway, I was scouting the place out looking
for the best way in so I could kill a couple.

For the enzyme?
Exactly.

McKay, I'm telling you,
it's the key to defeating them.

We could create an army
of supermen like me.

You were saying?
What?

About the guy?
Right.

So this one Wraith,
armed to the teeth,

comes walking towards the gate.

I figured one Wraith by himself
is easy pickings,

so I followed him here
to this planet.

Anyway,
I think he was looking for the guy.

How do you know?

Well, he was running from the Wraith
when I killed the sucker.

Okay, so what does the guy want
with Sheppard and Teyla?

I don't know, but when I save them,
you'll find out.

Look,

you wanna go through the gate, go.

Give me my radio,
I'll order my men not to stop you.

You can tell them in person.
I'm taking you with me.

You know, there's a chance
we could help you.

How?
We know a pretty good doctor.

Maybe he could take
that tracking device out.

You think I haven't tried?

Suit yourself.

And why would you do that?

Because I'm a nice guy.

Look, I told you, you hate the Wraith,
we hate the Wraith.

It's something we all have in common.
We just want our friend back.

You get this tracking device out of
me, I'll get your friend back for you.

Okay. Good.

It's a deal.

Major.

Where's Lorne?
He's inside, sir.

What happened to you?

I got hit by a Wraith blaster
looking for you.

Now McKay's missing.
Great.

What about Teyla?
Long story.

You can listen to it
when I tell Dr. Weir.

This is a joke, right?

I'm afraid not.

You want me to go to an alien planet and perform
surgery on an armed man holding Teyla hostage?

Yeah, something like that.

And you don't have much time.
The Wraith could show up any minute.

Oh, it's getting better all the time.

Have they found
Lieutenant Ford yet?

No. I haven't told you
about McKay yet, either.

Come on, pack up what you need.

I don't think an operating room and a
bloody army will fit through the gate.

Why are you stopping?

Because I am tired, and you
have no idea where you're going.

How do you know?

We've been walking around
in circles for hours.

So that's it?
You just give up? Is that it?

That's what you do, isn't it? You just give
up on your friends when they need you most?

No one has given up on you.
We wanna help you.

I'm talking about
Major Sheppard and Teyla.

Lieutenant Colonel Sheppard.
Oh, right.

Lieutenant Colonel.
So Ford's lost it, Ford's all crazy.

Ford can't even remember
a simple little thing.

Hey, I never said that. Although the fact that
you keep referring to yourself in the third person

does indicate clinical dissociation.

You don't know what a friend is,
do you, McKay?

All you care about is yourself.

Will you relax?
You relax. You're pathetic.

Always making fun of me.
Wanna play Pick on Ford?

I could shoot you, leave you to die.
Shoot me? When did this escalate

to physical violence?

You think I'm nuts.

I'm capable of anything.
I could go off at any time.

All right, you wanna shoot me?
Fine, I don't care.

It'll save me from the painful death from
having been exposed to this much radiation.

And quite frankly, it'll prove
just how far gone you are.

Now, I'm heading back to the Jumper,
and you're welcome to join me!

Are you crazy?
You could have killed me!

I'm sorry.

You don't know what it's like,
almost dying like I did.

Having your friends turn on you,
no one trusts you.

I'm out here all alone.

You don't have to be alone, Ford.

This drug
is messing with your head.

Come back to the Jumper with me,
we'll go back to Atlantis

and Beckett may be able to figure out a
way for you to keep your new superpowers.

You think?

Sure, why not?

First, we save Sheppard and Teyla.
No, no, wait.

No, that'll prove that I'm okay.

Go to the Jumper, I'll meet you there.
Ford, no.

This is not necessary, you know.

How long
have you been on the run?

Seven years.

You've been on your own
all that time?

Not much choice.

Afraid of bringing the Wraith down
on anyone you were with?

Can't go home.
Can't stay in one place for too long.

Why do you think they do it?

I don't know.

Sport, training.

Learn how we fight.

Measure our will to survive.

You said you heard stories
about others like me.

Yes, I've heard of runners
my whole life.

But I've never met one.
I did not even believe it was true.

One time I accidentally came across
a planet with a village near the ring.

What happened?
I stayed.

One night.

I ate a real meal for a change.

Left right away the next day.

Didn't matter.

I later heard...

the whole village...

SHEPPARD: Teyla, this
is Sheppard. Come in.

Go ahead, colonel.

You okay?
Yes, we are fine.

I'm here with Dr. Beckett.
He's coming in.

Unarmed.

Ronon would like me to remind you
that Dr. Beckett remain unarmed.

All right, for what it's worth,

I'd never send you in there if I
thought the guy was gonna hurt you.

Is that based on some evidence

or just a gut feeling that
this gentleman isn't dangerous?

I didn't say he wasn't dangerous.

He could probably kill you
in the blink of an eye.

I don't think he will.
Thank you. I feel much better now.

You ever heard
of Androcles and the lion?

Aye, and who are you
in this retelling? The Romans?

I'll be right up there.

Go.

Hello.

I normally don't make house calls like this,
but then again, this isn't really a house, is it?

What's in the case, doc?

Surgical implements, diagnostic tools,
various drugs, analgesics, antibiotics.

What?

Ronon, Dr. Carson Beckett.

Dr. Beckett, Ronon.
Pleasure.

I understand you have some sort
of a transmitter in your back.

Have a seat. Off with your shirt then.
Let's have a look.

Little help?

My God.

Tell me you didn't try
to cut this thing out yourself?

Yeah, I tried once with a mirror.
Couldn't quite reach.

Most of it's from
two different doctors.

No one I know who calls himself
a doctor would do this.

Is that Ancestor technology?

That it is.

You're gonna have to put
that weapon down and lie down.

Not a chance.
Now, you listen to me.

I've located the transmitter. It's in the soft
tissue next to the second thoracic vertebrae.

Good. Cut it out.
I can't do that with you sitting up.

I have to give you some anaesthetic.
No, you're not.

Excuse me?
Ronon, you need to trust us.

I do. That's why he's here
and you're still alive.

Now, get to work, doc.

If you'd just turn on your radio,
we could hear what's happening.

The others must have called
for backup by now.

Maybe Sheppard and Teyla
don't even need rescuing anymore.

Ow!
Shh.

Ow.

Someone's coming.
What do I need this for?

Okay, I'm ready.

Look, I just wanna say,
I don't think this is a good idea.

I'm gonna cut very close
to your spinal column.

If you're to flinch-
I won't flinch.

Okay.

Here we go.

I think I've got it.

Don't shoot!
It's just me!

Oh!
Ah!

What the hell are you doing?

What the hell am I doing?
What are you doing?

Those are our guys!

I can't trust them.
Oh, that's it. Yeah, I've had it.

Just drop your weapons, now!

You're gonna shoot me?
I will if I have to.

Ford, I'm taking you in.

You may not believe this,
but it's for your own good.

Oh, boy.

I'm quite certain
I've disabled the device.

It may be too late.

We know at least one Wraith
tracked Ronon here.

I'm gonna look for McKay and Ford.

Yes, we will be fine.
Now that the lion's passed out cold.

I'm gonna pick you up
with the Jumper soon as-

Help me! Help me!

Ah!

Close the Jumper! Now!
Go!

Colonel Sheppard,
we got gate activity.

LORNE
Three Wraith darts just came through.

Great.

We should head back inside.

He went through there.

Ah!

You've gotta be kidding me!

Colonel, Ronon is gone. There was
another way out of the cave.

Get back to the Jumper.

Well, look at you.
Yes, look at me.

It's funny, huh?

You set this up?
That's clever.

Wasn't me.
No, huh?

Well, I'm glad we can both
still laugh about this together.

How about cutting me down now?
No, I think I'm still gonna kill you.

What do you mean, "still"?
When did this escalate to killing?

When you shot me.
It's a flesh wound.

I knew it wasn't gonna hurt you.
You're Super-Ford, remember?

You tried to kill me!

Wait, hey.

You can't kill an unarmed,
upside-down man!

Lieutenant.

Don't.

Ford!

Hi. It's Dr. Rodney McKay.
Could you get me down, please?

Ford!

Keep your hands where
I can see them.

We wanna help.

You're not getting off this planet.

I'll show you.

You'll see!

After they scooped up Ford,
the darts made a beeline for the gate.

We tried to stop them, but...

You had him in your sights,
and you let him get away.

I shot him once.
It didn't slow him down.

I shot him too.
He ran into the beam.

Are you suggesting he wanted
to be taken?

I think he saw it was the only way
off the planet.

I can tell you from the time I spent
with Ford, he was not thinking straight.

Now, thanks to you,
he's in enemy hands

with information that could
compromise all of us.

I don't think he'll give us away.

Oh, thank you so much
for your assurance, colonel.

I'll be sure to include
your feelings in my report.

How's it going?

This place is impressive.

Those Ancestors
sure could build them.

The guards are unnecessary.

Well, with your habit
of taking people hostage and all.

I meant, should I want to escape,
they would not be able to stop me.

Right.

You able to contact my home world?
Well, that's why I'm here.

I don't understand.

We have machines called MALPs.

They're capable of transmitting back
images and information

from other planets.

We sent this one
to the address you gave us.

That is Sateda?

I'm sorry.

It doesn't look like anyone
survived the last attack.
