Why do you have to park
so far away?

This ridge was further away
than it looked.

You can't just land a
Jumper anywhere, Rodney.

It doesn't matter now.
We're almost there.

Rodney, do you even know
what it is we are looking for?

Whatever it is, it's
around here somewhere.

What's around here?
Whatever was causing

the energy spike
we detected from the jumper.

Any idea what that looks like?
I'll know it when I see it.

And I see it.

Looks like a door.

Yes, it is remarkably
door-like.

Well, looks like the only
way through the ridge anyway.

It runs for miles.
All right. Let's check it out.

Wait, there's something there.
What?

Some kind of an energy barrier
right on the threshold.

It disappeared.
Or it went right through a cloak.

It has the properties
of a cloaking field.

The Ancients did tend to
hide all the cool stuff.

Yeah, I'd like to be able to explain these
readings better before we step through.

Give me a branch.
You got tape?

Because

I got a camera.

I didn't ask for a log.

Thank you. Okay. So...

Tape it to the stick.

We extend
the camera through

record a few minutes, pull
it back, play the recording.

Yeah. MALP on a stick.

Yes, MALP on a stick.
Very clever.

Are we done?
Yep.

I am not fluent in Ancient,
but I do recognize a few words.

"Welcome"
and "ascension. "

"Ascension"?
To a higher plane of existence.

The race of people
who built the stargate

they eventually evolved to
a point where they ascended

to a state of pure energy.

That'd be great.
Sadly, it's a matter of evolution.

Anyway, I'm sure we got
more than enough now.

There we go.

And have a look,
shall we?

Okay, then. Any volunteers?

I'll go.

Just, um, back out if you
encounter anything problematic.

Problematic?
Yeah, like poisonous atmosphere

acid atmosphere, no atmosphere.

Hey, MALP on a stick
only shows you so much.

Okay.

Here goes.

Weird.

What is wrong?

It's hurting my hands a little.
Okay, so get out of there.

I'm trying to,
but it's pulling me in.

I got you.

Come on, guys.
Get me out of here.

I'm trying.
Well, try harder.

This shouldn't be happening.
Well, it is.

It's pulling me in.

It is too strong.

Don't touch the barrier!

I don't know if you can
hear me over the radio

but I am finally on the other side.

Looks just like the pictures.

Hurts pretty bad to move.

I don't know if I...

All right. You guys stay put.

Why did you say to let him go?
The last thing we need

is you pulled in with him.

Why would the ancestors create this?
I don't know.

Figure it out, or you're going in.
That is not helping!

Obviously, it reacts differently to living
matter. Might even be specific to humans.

This is Sheppard.
Can you hear me? Out.

Taking a good look
around the area.

Cave opens up to the other side
of the ridge.

There's not much there, so, uh...

I'm just gonna wait here

and give you guys a chance
to figure this one out.

Colonel Sheppard?
This is Teyla. Please respond.

You're wasting your time.
It's not gonna work.

Colonel, if you can hear me,
please respond.

There's absolutely nothing on this
tape that could indicate any kind of-

Oh, no.

What?
The memory's full.

It's recorded almost two hours and
- And the battery just died. Damn it.

Why are you wasting time?
That is one thing I'm not doing!

Okay, look, I need something
living, like a flower or blossom.

Okay.

Now would not be a good time
to throw that rock

I asked you to throw
a few hours ago.

I'd never see it coming.
This side is as black as oil.

There's one thing I haven't
tried, so if you can hear me

stand back.

But if you can't

then I guess
you can't hear me.

Ah! Good one, John!

Shoot yourself!

This is downright problematic,
Rodney!

God!

To test that theory. Work with me here,
people. If I'm right, we need to hurry.

What are you doing,
McKay?

I am trying to determine how much
faster time's passing on the other side.

Why would it be faster?
That doesn't make sense.

That is what I am trying to prove!
Now, just wait.

One, two, three, four

five, six, seven

eight, nine, 10-
McKay.

Bear with me.
Twelve, 13, 14

fifteen, 16, 17, 18, 19
and 20.

A lot faster.

Can you hear me now?

Cave opens up to the ridge

but there's nothing in the
immediate area I can survive on.

Okay. That's day two,
and I'm out of water.

We don't leave our people behind.

Right?

How about sending me a signal to
show me that you're still there?

It doesn't have to be a rock.
You can write a damn note.

I'm gonna turn off my radio for another
six hours to conserve the battery

and try to get some sleep.

Sheppard out.

The blossoms have aged
several hours at least.

Might be able to pick him up in the
Jumper, but I need to get to Atlantis.

You're not going anywhere.
It is a time-dilation field.

Which means that time is passing much
faster on the other side than here for us.

I'm not sure of the ratio,
but I need to go now.

Why?
I don't have time

to explain temporal
compression theory to you

when every moment we stand here, hours
could be going by for Colonel Sheppard.

Hours equate to days. And days
for us could mean years for him.

Do you get it now?

Teyla, you need to follow me
back as far as the Puddle Jumper

and I'll explain what I need
you to do on the way.

And you stay here.

And do what?
Don't go through

if that's what you're thinking.
Whoa, give me the knapsack.

Rodney, Teyla, Ronon.

Come in.

You guys are starting to worry me
a little bit here.

Empty your pockets. Everything you
think he might need to survive.

It might buy him
a little more time in there.

Come on. Good.
Here you go.

What the hell took you guys
so long?!

All right. Emergency rations,
medical kit. Anything else?

Extra batteries for the camcorder.
Right. Know what to do?

Record, extend and hold
for three seconds.

No more, no less.
And then pull it out again.

If he's still there, he'll have
time to record a detailed message.

Damn it, why didn't I send a note?
"If" he's still there?

Look, depending on the
compression ratio inside the field

there is a chance he may have used up the
supplies we sent by the time you get back.

What it means is we have to-
We must hurry.

Right. Go, go, go.

Gotcha.

All right.

All right.

But you have no idea
whether he's injured?

The excruciating pain he was experiencing
was a result of the temporal differential.

And what is that,
exactly?

The portal must somehow
dampen the extreme tidal forces

that would normally occur on the
event horizon of a time-dilation field

and we were keeping him
from passing through it.

So part of his body is experiencing
time at a different pace than the other?

Who knows what that
could do to him.

I have no idea, but I suspect
he could use a doctor.

You don't know
if he's alive?

The most time-efficient approach was
to assume he's alive but stranded.

And why not assume he'll make his
own way back through the portal?

Because Colonel Sheppard would have
already had hours to make it back

in the time I wasted explaining
the situation to Conan and Xena.

Rodney, that's not very-
No. No, I suppose it isn't.

This is McKay.
Supplies been loaded aboard yet?

AIRMAN: Almost there, sir.
Just a few more cases.

All right, when you're done,
with that, assist Zelenka

in securing the descent probe
into the launch compartment.

Let's move.

This is Sheppard.

I'm pretty sure you can't hear me,
but I don't have a volleyball to talk to

so, what the hell.

I rationed what little I had
for as long as I could

but I only have enough left
for maybe one more day.

I gotta get myself something to live on
when I find a source of food and water.

Not that I didn't appreciate

the three canteens of water and
the whole handful of PowerBars.

There's nothing in the immediate area.
I'm gonna have to go further out

giving indication of where I go

as I go.

Sheppard out.

That was quick.
Not fast enough, I fear.

Get the camera.

Dr. McKay would like us
to try this again.

To see if Sheppard's
still alive?

And to determine the true
passage of time on the other side.

All right.

All right.

One, two, three.

That wasn't long enough
to see anything.

And yet it seems to have
recorded several minutes.

He is not there.

Well

you're either gonna eat me

or I'm gonna eat you.

We've loaded weeks of supplies
and everything I could think of.

What are we not thinking of?
Take a minute and be certain.

If your theory's correct, you
can't make many of these trips.

I am painfully
aware of that.

I remind you only because
from what you've told me

rushing is what
got Sheppard into trouble.

This was not his fault,
it was mine.

I should've looked more closely at the video.
The clues where there before he stepped through.

Look, all I can hope to do now
is fix this within his lifetime.

His lifetime?
If it takes a week to fix this

then it won't matter because he
will probably have died of old age.

Oh, my God.
Yeah, hence the rushing.

Now, you ready? You don't look ready.
I'm ready.

I need a few more books
to help with translation.

We'll pick them up. And I hope
you got us a real Jumper pilot

because I don't trust him, and I
can't fly the thing in a straight line.

Help. Help. Help me, please!

Where is it?
It's there. In the trees.

What is it?
The beast.

Is there a safe place for us to go?
No, the cloister is too far.

It's upon us.

Stay down and stay behind me.

You can't fight it.
Maybe we can scare it away.

Get out of here!

WEIR:
There it is.

Well, according to these
readings, it's not there.

Rodney, I can see it with my own
eyes. It's right inside that crater.

It's hard to say whether the
Ancients built it in the crater

or whether the rim formed
as a result of the field.

The Jumper sensors
aren't picking up anything?

Nothing, ma'am.
All right.

Position us directly above it
and stand by.

Prepare to launch the probe
on my mark.

What is this probe of yours
supposed to do?

Well, it's supposed to descend slowly
into the atmosphere of a gas giant.

A chute opens, the probe separates
into two components joined by a tether.

So we should be able to receive telemetry
from inside the time-dilation field

while the other half of
the probe is still outside?

Right. And depending
on the variance

we might fly right into the field
and rescue Sheppard.

Very clever, Rodney.

Uh, yes, it is.

It was actually Zelenka's idea.

Hi.

He's awake again!

I am now.

I am Teira.

Have we met?
When Avrid first brought you here.

You were terribly injured
from fighting the beast.

Avrid carried you almost halfway
across the sanctuary.

And I healed you.

You did?

A little young
to be a doctor.

Hetta is one of the few among us
who possesses the healing power.

Well, good. Thank you.

It's we who should thank you for
saving our brother from the beast.

That's funny.
I don't remember winning.

It's good to see you're awake
and well again.

Didn't it come after you?
No. Only the ascended know why.

None of them around, huh?

Are you hungry?
Starving.

Which one of you got me out
of my clothes and into these?

I did.

Is that all right?

Yeah, I just usually like to meet
a woman before she sees me naked.

What do we have here?

I'm glad you're feeling better.
Welcome to your new home.

Avrid, I'm happy to visit...

and I'm grateful for the food
and the whole healing thing

but if you know the way
out of here...

There is no way to leave, John,
other than to ascend.

What exactly do you mean by
"there's no way"?

That is the sole purpose of this
place, to meditate upon ascension

and one day join those
who created the sanctuary.

Well, the thing is,
I've got other plans.

Well, then,
why did you enter the portal?

Well, call it a mistake.

I tried to stop it, but
the damn thing sucked me in.

Those that came before made certain
that there could be no indecision.

Once you set foot within the
sanctuary, your path was chosen.

Not by me.

Once you cross the threshold,
you're committed to be here

for the remainder of your days.

All right. Launch the probe on
my mark. Three, two, one. Mark.

The probe's about to pass
through the field. Stand by.

Damn it!
What happened?

Exactly what I was
afraid would happen.

The probe was ripped apart by tidal forces
of the event horizon almost instantly.

We can't fly through
and rescue Colonel Sheppard?

Not unless we wanna be
ripped apart too.

Did you receive any telemetry
before the probe failed?

Actually, quite a lot. Looks
like mostly gibberish, though.

This is gonna take me
an hour to go through.

I'm glad I finally
got you outside.

You've been alone
in your room for so long.

It's called
"being depressed. "

Is it so terrible here?

No, you folks have been great. It's
just I have responsibilities back home.

People I care about
and who care about me.

At least I thought
they did.

Why'd you come here?

Well, I was born here.
No, I mean, your people.

Well, they came
generations ago.

I'm from a race of people who
revered those who came before us

those who created this place.
We call them "Ancients. "

To follow in their footsteps,
to ascend

was the greatest goal
among our forefathers.

Many centuries ago, some of our people
sensed it was within them to do so.

It took them many years to discover the
location of this world, and once they found it

they came to this world
as a pilgrimage.

We are their descendents.
Not many of you left.

No. We are the last.

So, what's holding you back?

A journey such as ours
can take a lifetime.

You afraid it might
not happen?

We're not afraid
of anything.

I don't know, I'd be pretty
afraid of that beast thing.

As long as we stay in the cloister,
we're safe.

Yeah, but what kind of life is that?
Well

life here is not entirely
without its pleasures.

Ha!

The telemetry
was not entirely gibberish.

Bring up the HUD.

I've been able to determine the location
of the power source inside the field. Here.

What good is that?
If we know where it is

one way or another,
I should be able to turn it off.

You know, you don't have to
do this for me every morning.

You saved my brother's life.

Then shouldn't he be the one
bringing me breakfast?

He is meditating with the others.
He's always meditating.

Everyone's always
meditating.

Well, at least share it
with me.

It's okay.

It is very close.

It's here.

It's never come
inside the cloister.

I'm scared.
Take her inside.

- John-
Do it.

Go.

Okay, people,
I'm starting to develop

some serious abandonment
issues here.

Okay. I'm warning you,
I've got a knife.

No!
Come back! Come back!

Now there's two of us!

Ronon.

He left a sign
for us to see.

He must have gone
to look for another way out.

At least we know he may still be alive.
MCKAY Teyla, Ronon.

We're inbound on a Jumper and
should touch down in a few minutes.

Meet us at the landing site.
Understood.

We thought we'd lost you again.

What happened?
I've never seen such bravery.

Were it not for you,
all may have been lost.

I don't remember winning
this time either.

He's not fully healed.

I'm fine.
You've done enough, Hetta, come on.

Let's get you some rest.

I don't know what the hell's
the matter with you people.

I don't understand.

I'm talking about letting us stand
out there alone against that thing.

Violence is not
the path to ascension.

There's a difference between
violence and self-defence.

We are very close
to ascension, John.

All of us. If we leave the path,
it may be lost to us forever.

Everything may be lost to you forever
unless you stand up to that damn thing.

I must join the others
in meditation.

It was three seconds?
Yes.

And there's 12 minutes of video?
Yes.

All right. So it's a ratio of about...
Two hundred and fifty to one.

I sent my watch through,
along with a letter to Sheppard

telling him we are doing
our best to rescue him.

If you would like to check again-
No, no. That's good thinking.

Just out of curiosity, what does that
mean for Colonel Sheppard in terms of days?

We're already talking months.

You didn't have
to wait up for me.

You've been gone
over a day.

Yeah, well, after I found my weapons

I decided to take a run back to
the portal. Look what I found.

I don't know what took them so long, but my
friends finally sent some supplies through.

There are people here
who care for you.

Sorry, I should have

told somebody.

I knew.

I was following your journey
in my mind.

I was with you
since you left the cloister.

Is that some special power
you haven't told me about?

Yes.

Oh.

I've been with you each time you've
searched for a means to leave us.

As Hetta has the power to heal,
I'm able to see images in my mind.

It's not uncommon for those on the path
to ascension to gain such abilities.

I wish you'd told me.
I could've used you.

It took me forever
to find this stuff.

Before my mother ascended, she
could move things with her mind.

You can imagine how wondrous
that would be for a child.

Sit with me.

I was the one who
sent Avrid to find you.

You did?
I knew you were coming that night.

And I knew where you
would be, in the field.

And I have known
since I was a child

that you would sit here
with me as you do now.

I've been able to close my eyes and
see your face my entire life, John.

You are the one.

The one what?

The one who will
lead us to ascension.

Oh.

What is it?
Nothing.

I just was hoping you were going
in a different direction with that.

I've seen that as well.

That's why I waited
for you.

Really?

Tonight.

Tonight? I...

I wish you would have told me. I
wouldn't have gone on a 10-hour run.

In the coming days, once
you have defeated the beast

we will ascend together.
All of us.

Oh. You mean, all of you.
I haven't given up on you just yet.

I don't know how that's gonna
happen, Teira. I really don't.

Look, I've been up against
that thing twice.

I don't see how a third time
is gonna turn out any different.

You don't have
to know how.

You just have to trust
that it will.

WEIR:
Okay. I think I've got it.

I am interpreting a bit

but it seems the field was designed
as a sanctuary from the Wraith.

But a place the last of the Ancients could travel
to and hopefully ascend without fear of attack.

Of course. They could spend lifetimes inside
the field before the Wraith discovered it.

And if they ever attacked,
their ships would get torn apart.

And so it has remained
for 10,000 years.

WEIR:
This writing here...

This serves as a sort of
welcome as well as a warning

for any of the humans under their
protection looking for sanctuary.

But I think it was
left for anyone

who wanted to seek the path
to ascension on their own.

And what's the warning?

That once you cross the
threshold, there's no return.

That is, unless you have the
location of the power source

and the expertise
to turn it off.

We may even get a ZPM out of this.
Now you're talking.

Lieutenant, this is Weir. If
you haven't heard from us in...

Rodney?
An hour would give us months,

but Elizabeth, of all the people
who should stay, it would be you.

WEIR: There may be writing by the
power source that needs translating.

If there is a slight chance-
Rodney? I'm going.

Lieutenant, one hour.
Then head back to Atlantis

see if Zelenka can think of anything.
MAN: Understood.

Well, he may need medical treatment,
and I'm the only doctor here, so I-

Carson, it probably won't hurt so
much if you just go through quickly.

All right.
Let's do this.

That wasn't so bad.
Hmm.

You were just-
That's weird, huh?

You might as well relax, the others
are gonna be at least five minutes.

Judging by the location
of the power source

we got a long walk
ahead of us, so...

Haven't any of you seen
thunderstorms?

The sanctuary provides rain
for the orchards.

I'm talking about thunder
and lightning.

Giant bolts of electricity
shooting down from the sky.

It sounds scary.

It is scary,
but it's also very cool.

It's okay to be scared.
It's part of life.

You know, when I was a kid, we used
to have storms that shook the house.

Scared me half to death.

When we are ascended, we'll
experience such things.

Hell, if you're ascended,
you can make thunderstorms.

I'm talking about actually
experiencing life.

We contemplate on the experience
that is life each day.

I'm talking about living it.

Haven't any of you got things you want to
do as flesh-and-blood human beings first?

I mean, you talk about

moving on to a plane of
existence beyond your mortality

but you haven't even
really lived.

Our lives are full.
I've spent a lot of time with you folks

and I don't think "full" means
what you think it means.

AVRID: To ascend, one must meditate.
You're not meditating. You're hiding.

From what?

You know the answer to that.

He means the beast.

Yes. I do.

I don't know how any of you
expect me to feel like I belong

but every time that thing comes
around, I'm out there alone.

You're not alone.

I know.
You were out there too.

No, I mean, your friends have come.

They number five.

They've come for you.
They have? Are you sure?

That's the best news I've heard.
No, John. I sense something more.

The beast is nearly
upon them.

I was just thinking. This entire field
- I mean, not the field. The "field" field.

- must generate its own day and night
cycle and own artificial climate.

It's incredible. When-
You wanna pick up the pace?

Hey, he's waited for months.
A half-hour won't kill him.

WEIR: We don't know how long
it's gonna take to find him.

And besides that, I have a date planned
with Lieutenant Cadman for tomorrow night.

Oh, no. So we've only got
12 years in here.

What? What is it?

I'm not detecting anything.
Doesn't mean it isn't there.

Can you see anything?
No. But I sense something is close.

Maybe we should try another way.

Won't make any difference.
It's stalking us.

Sounds like it's more than one.
Yeah, more than one what?

I do not know.

What the hell
took you so long?

Believe it or not, you were
only gone a couple of hours.

Try six months.

You've been trapped
in a time-dilation field.

What?
What was that thing?

I don't know.
What's a time-dilation field?

WEIR: Can we talk about
this somewhere else?

No. It is still close.

You fought this thing before?
Twice.

How did you beat it?
Still haven't figured that out.

Now would be a good time.
Yeah, well

what do you say we just
fight it and see what happens?

TEIRA:
John?

Friends of yours?

We have come to stand with you.
Whatever happens.

No, we've come to fight.

And we are not afraid
of you.

The beast is of
our own creation.

And it is long past time
we sent it away.

That's it?
That's all it took?

You were right, John.
We were afraid.

The beast was the final burden
we had to shed

manifest from our own fears.

You gave us the courage
to face it.

Come with us.

I'm not ready for that yet.

I'm not sure I'll ever be.

One day, perhaps.

Yeah, one day.

I'll look forward to it.

There will be no need to destroy
the sanctuary, Dr. McKay.

What? No, no, no. I wasn't
thinking that. I was-

We'll keep the portal open
until you are gone.

At which point the ZPM which
undoubtedly powers this place-

The sanctuary was left
by those who came before us

for those who may seek it out
and follow the path.

And it will continue to remain
after you are gone.

Yeah, but...

Absolutely.

What is it with you
and ascended women?

Well, the beard
is interesting.

First thing to go
when we get home.

I never thought I'd see
any of you again.

Kind of even
missed you a little.

Well, it was only a couple
of hours for us, so-

Ronon.

We were quite worried about you.
Of course we were.

We're just sorry
we didn't get here sooner.

Let's get out of here.
