It's okay.
660
00:37:01,330 --> 00:37:02,582
You know...
661
00:37:02,748 --> 00:37:06,252
...I'm actually feeling
a sense of peace.
662
00:37:07,086 --> 00:37:09,630
Interspersed with moments
of sheer terror, of course.
663
00:37:10,089 --> 00:37:14,302
Rodney,
as far as this Ascension thing...
664
00:37:14,635 --> 00:37:18,431
...I know you didn't have much success.
But at this point...
665
00:37:18,681 --> 00:37:20,725
...what have you got to lose?
666
00:37:20,892 --> 00:37:24,270
- May as well go out fighting, huh?
- Absolutely.
667
00:37:25,897 --> 00:37:27,607
Hook me up.
668
00:37:31,277 --> 00:37:32,862
McKAY:
Carson.
669
00:37:33,863 --> 00:37:35,489
Thank you.
670
00:37:36,157 --> 00:37:38,034
Thank you for everything.
671
00:37:39,619 --> 00:37:42,038
I only wish I could have done more,
my friend.
672
00:37:54,383 --> 00:37:55,885
Clear blue skies.
673
00:37:56,928 --> 00:37:58,971
All my troubles...
674
00:37:59,138 --> 00:38:01,432
...just drifting away.
675
00:38:02,016 --> 00:38:05,686
Okay. Stop talking now.
676
00:38:08,689 --> 00:38:11,234
Rodney, you're a good person.
677
00:38:12,068 --> 00:38:13,361
Know that we love you.
678
00:38:15,321 --> 00:38:17,114
You love me?
679
00:38:18,491 --> 00:38:20,493
Really? All of you?
680
00:38:20,660 --> 00:38:24,038
In the way a friend
feels about another friend.
681
00:38:24,247 --> 00:38:27,041
You're just saying that
because I'm gonna die.
682
00:38:27,750 --> 00:38:29,669
Oh, God.
I can't believe I'm gonna die.
683
00:38:29,835 --> 00:38:32,880
All right, just back to the blue skies.
Let your thoughts go.
684
00:38:33,422 --> 00:38:37,093
SHEPPARD:
Concentrate on your breathing.

00:38:44,475 --> 00:38:45,601

[STEAD Y TONE]
688
00:38:55,778 --> 00:38:57,863
He's not breathing.
Get him on a ventilator.
689
00:38:58,072 --> 00:39:00,575
- Carson, he gave us orders...
BECKETT: You don't understand.
690
00:39:00,783 --> 00:39:02,868
He just told me how to save him.
691
00:39:04,495 --> 00:39:06,831
We're en route. His pulse is weak.
Are you ready?
692
00:39:07,039 --> 00:39:08,749
We will be.
693
00:39:10,751 --> 00:39:11,961
Almost.
694
00:39:19,302 --> 00:39:20,928
BECKETT:
Right.
695
00:39:24,015 --> 00:39:26,058
Hurry, he can't breathe on his own.
696
00:39:29,937 --> 00:39:31,731
Okay, stand back.
697
00:39:33,566 --> 00:39:35,651
[POWER SURGING]
698
00:39:43,367 --> 00:39:45,036
BECKETT:
Rodney?
699
00:39:45,202 --> 00:39:47,121
- It worked.
- Did it?
700
00:39:47,288 --> 00:39:50,124
- Well, I'm alive, aren't I?
SHEPPARD: Sounds like him.
701
00:39:50,291 --> 00:39:52,001
McKAY:
Yes, yes.
702
00:39:52,209 --> 00:39:54,420
I can't hear one of your thoughts.
703
00:39:55,504 --> 00:39:57,673
Telekinesis is gone.
704
00:39:58,007 --> 00:40:00,801
I'm still smart, I think.
705
00:40:00,968 --> 00:40:02,136
Yes.
706
00:40:02,303 --> 00:40:04,513
Yes, I'm me. I'm my old self.
707
00:40:04,722 --> 00:40:06,390
- Are you certain?
McKAY: Yeah, I'm alive.
708
00:40:06,599 --> 00:40:09,894
I feel great. I feel, uh... Um, hungry?
709
00:40:10,061 --> 00:40:11,103
Oh, he's fine.
710
00:40:11,270 --> 00:40:12,939
And you said it was impossible.
711
00:40:13,105 --> 00:40:14,649
McKAY:
The answer just came to me.
712
00:40:14,815 --> 00:40:19,278
I was floating in this black emptiness
and the answer came out of nowhere.
713
00:40:19,445 --> 00:40:21,989
Look, the device was designed
to manipulate your DNA.
714
00:40:22,198 --> 00:40:25,326
It couldn't reverse the process,
everyone's DNA is different.
715
00:40:25,493 --> 00:40:27,536
It makes changes
that causes the DNA...
716
00:40:27,703 --> 00:40:30,957
...to evolve in ways
specific to your own unique physiology.
717
00:40:31,165 --> 00:40:34,794
To manipulate the DNA, the program
required a precise reference point.
718
00:40:35,002 --> 00:40:38,381
I keep blood samples from the Atlantis
team members for comparisons.
719
00:40:39,006 --> 00:40:41,509
I don't understand
what any of you are talking about.
720
00:40:41,676 --> 00:40:44,470
- What...
- It's good to have you back, buddy.
721
00:40:44,637 --> 00:40:46,889
- Mmm!
- Yes, well, it's good to be back.
722
00:40:47,056 --> 00:40:48,558
Yeah.

00:40:56,732 --> 00:40:59,902
- Hey, how are you feeling?
- Terrible.
725
00:41:00,069 --> 00:41:03,322
- Should I get Carson?
- No, no, no, physically I'm fine...
726
00:41:03,489 --> 00:41:05,366
...but this just doesn't make
any sense.
727
00:41:05,533 --> 00:41:07,702
I can't figure out
any of these equations.
728
00:41:07,868 --> 00:41:10,538
The algorithms are complete gibberish.
This is torture.
729
00:41:10,746 --> 00:41:13,624
I can clearly remember exactly
how important this all is...
730
00:41:13,791 --> 00:41:16,502
...but I cannot figure out why or how.
731
00:41:16,669 --> 00:41:19,213
Well, I just dropped by
to show you this.
732
00:41:20,298 --> 00:41:23,009
Your EEG readings
from your last meditation.
733
00:41:27,597 --> 00:41:29,432
Oh, my God.
734
00:41:29,849 --> 00:41:32,018
It's 0,03 hertz. I mean, I did it.
735
00:41:32,184 --> 00:41:35,021
I mean, I was in the zone.
I could have actually Ascended.
736
00:41:36,063 --> 00:41:38,941
You said you were floating
in a big empty space.
737
00:41:39,108 --> 00:41:41,485
When the idea of how to save yourself
came to you.
738
00:41:41,652 --> 00:41:44,322
I thought about how hard it is
to rid oneself of ego.
739
00:41:44,488 --> 00:41:48,910
That existence without the individuality
of consciousness would be pointless...
740
00:41:49,243 --> 00:41:52,121
Ooh. That's probably
what gave me the idea...
741
00:41:52,288 --> 00:41:54,332
...to reprogram the device
with my old DNA.
742
00:41:54,540 --> 00:41:57,001
- Yeah, I thought so.
- Yeah, well, you know what?
743
00:41:57,168 --> 00:42:00,713
I don't care if you don't think
I was capable. I never wanted to do it.
744
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,257
I am very happy with who I am.
745
00:42:03,549 --> 00:42:06,052
- And you love me.
- Hmm?
746
00:42:06,302 --> 00:42:07,428
What? I never...
747
00:42:07,637 --> 00:42:10,556
You so did. I may not understand
this new math I created...
748
00:42:10,765 --> 00:42:13,142
...but I remember
that you said you love me.
749
00:42:13,351 --> 00:42:15,102
Actually, I said, � ou �? We love you. �
750
00:42:15,269 --> 00:42:17,855
You were saying that because
you thought I was dying?
751
00:42:18,022 --> 00:42:20,399
- No, I said it because...
- See? You love me.
752
00:42:20,608 --> 00:42:23,194
It's true. You've said it.
Now I know. I suspected it.
753
00:42:23,361 --> 00:42:25,696
In fact, I've always noticed
that there's been...
754
00:42:25,863 --> 00:42:28,824
...an indefinable and yet magical
chemistry between us...
755
00:42:28,991 --> 00:42:31,160
...that I think I covered in Chapter 10.
- Hmm.
756
00:42:31,327 --> 00:42:33,204
- Rodney.
- Have you had lunch yet?
757
00:42:33,412 --> 00:42:35,122
- Yes.
- Mid-afternoon snack, then?
758
00:42:36,207 --> 00:42:38,084
- I will keep you company.
- Ah.
759
00:42:38,251 --> 00:42:40,127
Now, is Sheppard still bugging you...
760
00:42:40,294 --> 00:42:42,838
...to let him use the device
to turn into a superhero?
761
00:42:43,005 --> 00:42:44,048
- Oh, yes.
- Hmm.
762
00:42:44,215 --> 00:42:47,718
Despite the fact that the database
states its effects are unpredictable.

00:42:47,885 --> 00:42:51,722

melted down into a pool of protoplasm.

00:42:51,889 --> 00:42:53,724
- Yes.
- Huh. Well, maybe you should let him.
