All language subtitles for Stargate.Atlantis.S02E02.1080p.BluRay.x265-RARBG

Narrator: Previously on
Stargate Atlantis.

We saw the hive ship go up.

Caldwell on radio:
I assure you, Dr. McKay,

that major Sheppard
is alive and well.

Who is this?

Steven Caldwell,
commander of the daedalus.

We are ready to assist you.

Rodney, we need the shield up
in 40 seconds or we're dead.

Okay, okay.

With only one functioning zpm
we can't expect to hold on that long.

Weir: Are we talking
months, weeks? Days.

Sheppard: What if they thought
we were gone?

Caldwell: Destroy the city,
you mean?

No, we just make it
look like we did.

Mcka y: We fake a self-destruct.

Is it working or not?
I think they bought it.

(Screaming)

Beckett: He should be dead.

I'd like to report for duty,
ma'am.

Dr. Beckett released you?

Sheppard: Where's Ford? Mcka
y: I assume that's him in the jumper.

Shut it down! I can't,
the jumper's in control.

We'll find him. Maybe.

Hey, what are you
doing up so late?

Couldn't sleep.

Must be the burden of command.

You know, ever since I was
promoted to lieutenant colonel.

All right, John,
it's been almost a month.

When are you gonna stop trying
to find a way to bring that up

in every single conversation?

You gotta understand, there's
a lot of people in the air force

who never thought
I'd make it past captain.

Well, obviously the people whose
opinions matter the most thought otherwise.

What about you?
What are you still doing up?

I think I got used to falling
asleep to the sound of the ocean.

Well, McKay says we're already

at the edge
of the Pegasus galaxy.

You'll be fine
once we get back to Atlantis.

You know, it's funny.

I spent the past year wondering
if I'd ever see earth again

and as soon as I got there...

I know how you feel.

God, it was extremely convenient
to be able to step through the gate

and be at Stargate command
in an instant.

And now this feels
extremely inconvenient.

Having to spend 18 days
cooped up in this ship to get back.

Well, until we find another
zpm to power the earth gate

that's just the way
it's gonna have to be.

Dr. Weir. Colonel Sheppard.

There's been an accident.

That's Dr. Monroe.
What happened?

I don't know,

but he's dead.

All right. One, two, three.

Carry on.

How did he die?

I'm not 100% certain, but there
are burn marks on his fingertips.

Sheppard: Obviously
here there was a short.

Panels are open,
circuits are charred.

There's not enough juice in
those circuits to kill anyone. Doctor?

I'll know more once I've had a chance
to examine the body more thoroughly.

Do you know
what he was working on?

Computer diagnostics.
Strictly routine.

I've got
security-camera footage.

What happened there? I don't
know. It's a camera malfunction.

Right before he was killed?
Interesting coincidence.

Actually,
I think it makes sense.

Look, colonel Caldwell
was right.

There's not enough juice in
those circuits to kill someone.

At least not normally.

What are you thinking?

It's possible there was some sort of
isolated power surge in this section.

That would explain the lost
camera and the malfunctioning door.

So when the door controls
didn't respond

he took out the panel to bypass
the circuits and received a fatal jolt?

Like I said, it's possible.

Look, I recommend
we drop out of hyperspace,

run a full diagnostic on the
power distribution systems.

No. We drop out now,
we risk being detected.

That's true.
I just think that if...

We'll be back in Atlantis
in less than two days.

You can do your diagnostic then.

Weir: Colonel, are you sure
that's wise?

With all due respect, doctor,

you got back to earth
through the Stargate.

This is my third trip on the
daedalus between galaxies.

I understand that. But
this ship is relatively new.

There might be some
problems... doctor, a word, please?

I know the chain of command
can get a little fuzzy on Atlantis,

but that's
not gonna happen here.

You got a problem with my
orders, take it to me in private.

Otherwise, keep your opinions
to yourself.

Are you sure that's
what this is all about?

I got a job to do, doctor.
But not the one you wanted.

We understand
the international committee

has approved
a significant increase

in personnel and resources
for the Atlantis mission.

Now that we have a zpm, the city
can support a much larger contingent.

Of course, it's our feeling

that a corresponding increase
in military presence

would also be prudent.

I agree.

That's why I wanted major
Sheppard to come back with me.

In fact, I brought
all my senior staff back.

I think it's only fair
that they participate

in the selection process
of the new personnel

in their respective departments.

That's kind of what we wanted
to talk to you about.

In your report,
you singled major Sheppard

out for a lot of credit.

That's right.

You were also candid enough to
document several occasions in which

you and the major
didn't exactly see eye to eye.

In particular, there was an
incident involving an alien nanovirus

in which major Sheppard directly
disobeyed one of your orders.

He also saved
a lot of lives that day.

The major's courage and
ingenuity are not in question here.

His ability to follow the
proper chain of command is.

I'm not military, general.

But you are the leader
of the expedition.

You see, doctor,
from our point of view

major Sheppard's independent
nature poses a bit of a problem.

If he can disobey you,

he may see fit to do the same

to the new commander of the
military contingent on Atlantis.

Excuse me?
And when did this happen?

Of course, the decision
hasn't been made yet.

But we do have
a candidate in mind.

Atlantis
has a military commander.

You had a military commander.
Colonel Sumner.

When he was killed,

major Sheppard correctly
assumed the position

until a proper replacement
could be brought in.

Doctor, you can't be suggesting

that a mission of this
importance be trusted to a major,

and one with a questionable
record at that.

Major Sheppard's record before he
joined my team doesn't concern me.

All I can tell you is that
if it wasn't for him,

I wouldn't be sitting here
right now.

And as for his rank,

if that's not good enough
for you,

you're just gonna
have to promote him.

Doctor...

I shouldn't have to
remind you, gentlemen,

that I continue to have the support
of the president and our foreign allies.

You don't wanna fight me
on this one.

All right. Thank you.

Colonel Caldwell.
What is it, doctor?

Look, I realize you've
already made it clear

that you're not big on the whole
dropping out of hyperspace thing,

which I understand,
given that we would emerge

in some uncharted section
of the Pegasus galaxy

with who knows what waiting
for us around the corner...

Doctor.
Look, I think it's possible

that doctor Monroe's death
might not have been an accident.

What you talking about?
Ichecked the power-distribution logs

against the time code
on the security camera.

There was an unexplained spike,

but it happened a full 30
seconds after the camera went out.

So that means the malfunctions
in the door and the camera

were not caused
by the same problem.

Major Sheppard was right.
There's too much of a coincidence.

You mean
lieutenant colonel Sheppard.

Right.

That's gonna take
some getting used to.

Is that the only evidence
you have? No. Something else.

It looks like Dr. Monroe

was in the process of enabling

certain computer
security protocols.

They're designed to isolate and
shut down corrupted programs.

What programs? I don't know.

That's just it. He was killed
before he could finish.

You're telling me there's
a problem with the ship

and someone killed Monroe
to cover it up?

I know this sounds crazy,

but there is definitely more going
on here than random malfunctions.

Bridge, this is Caldwell.

Drop us out of hyperspace
immediately.

If I may be so bold, what
exactly are we looking for?

Any indication that someone's been
tampering with the ship's computers.

Perhaps you could be
more specific. Not really, no.

(Mumbling)

What was that?

Nothing.

Look, just check the major
systems.

Propulsion, navigation,
life support.

Look for anything
out of the ordinary.

Lindstrom and I will check
power distribution

to see if we can figure out
what caused the power spike.

How's it coming, Rodney?
It's going to take a while.

Don't stare. He hates it
when people stare.

Am I the only one who thinks it's
strange we're working with an alien?

You know,
galactic hyperdrive technology

is kind of new to us,
so we need his help.

Is he supposed to be
naked like that?

Lindstrom.

(Muttering)

Okay, let's speed this up.

You take the logs and I'm gonna
take a look at... junction box.

McKay: I got nothing. You?

Give me a second.

Wait a minute. What?

I think I got something here.

Well, what?

(Alarms blaring)

McKay: It's a coolant leak!
Let's get the hell out of here!

(Groaning)

Lindstrom!

Lindstrom!

Lindstrom. Lindstrom.
You all right?

(Groans)

Yeah, I'm okay. What happened?

I don't know, just sit tight.

We're gonna need to shut
down the leak and vent the room...

(Static crackling)

Rodney.

Lindstrom.

Lindstrom, are you reading me?
Lindstrom, are you reading me?

(Alarm beeping)

What the hell are you doing?

The airlock's opening!
Override the system!

Rodney, help me!

Lindstrom!

Rodney!

Lindstrom!

Oh, my god.

I already told you,
I'm fine. He's right.

It appears he didn't inhale enough
toxins to cause any permanent damage.

Although a few more seconds of exposure
and it would be quite a different story.

Thank you, doctor.

I assume this time we can definitely
rule out random malfunctions.

Lindstrom found something.

He was trying to tell me what
it was when the leak happened.

Weir: What were you looking for?

We were trying to trace the source of
the power spike that killed Dr. Monroe.

Who else knew
what you were doing?

A lot of people knew
we were running diagnostics,

but no one knew we were in that
particular room at that exact moment.

Security cameras.

If the person who killed Monroe was able
to get into the system to erase evidence,

there's no reason
he couldn't do the same thing

to keep tabs
on the investigation.

Assuming it's a he.

How many personnel on board
have the technical skills

to do something like this?
Almost everybody.

That's what you get for assembling
a team of brilliant scientists.

No, I can't believe it'd be
one of our own people.

Isn't it possible there's
an intruder on board?

Well, we used the life-signs
detector to do a head count,

we didn't get any extra signals.

Well, a hibernating wraith,
they can avoid detection.

We've seen that tactic before.

Beam in, lay low, then look for
the chance to conduct sabotage.

That was on Atlantis.
It's been at least two months

since the ship
encountered the wraith.

There's no way one of them
could've stowed on board for that long.

He's right. We did a full
decontamination sweep back on earth.

They would have found something.

All right then.

As of this moment,
I want all civilian personnel

confined to their quarters.

What?

Present company excepted,
of course.

Colonel, with all due
respect, some of those people

could be extremely helpful
in the investigation.

I'm sorry, doctor, but I can't trust
any of them for the simple reason

that I didn't have
any say in their selection.

Somebody else was in charge
of that process.

Look at this, four years' relief
work in the Sudan and Ethiopia,

graduate studies
at John Hopkins and Harvard,

half a dozen research grants

and she also enjoys judo,
horseback riding, origami

and something called
base jumping.

Parachuting from cliffs
and tall buildings.

Oh, of course.
You said you wanted the best.

But all these people
are more qualified than I am.

How am I supposed to choose
between them?

Carson, you're my chief surgeon.

No one is more qualified
than you.

Well...

I've managed to make
a shortlist.

I was hoping you'd make
the final selections.

This is your shortlist?

Did you review the file
of a Dr. Simon Wallace?

Aye. He was also
more qualified than I am.

Why isn't he on the list?

All the candidates
were required to sign off

on a blind commitment
to a one-year term.

Dr. Wallace has been given
security clearance.

He knows what this is all about.

Maybe that's the problem.

What do you mean?
He hasn't signed.

(Birds chirping)

When were you gonna tell me?

There's nothing to tell.

I mean, you know I haven't said
yes, but I haven't said no, either.

You do realize that you are not
gonna make the final list of candidates

unless you commit.

Elizabeth, you know you
can't just come back after a year

and expect me to drop
everything on two weeks' notice.

I have responsibilities here,

I have patients,
I have research.

I know. I know.

And I would never diminish
the importance of your work.

But you have to understand that every
single person on this entire expedition

is in the exact same situation.

I mean, in fact, it's why they
were chosen in the first place.

I understand.

I... I just need
a little more time.

Dr. McKay, you are just in time.

For what?
What are you looking at?

The sabotage
we've been searching for.

It's a virus.

How perceptive of you.

Where did you find it?

One of the navigational
computers.

There is evidence of it
in communications

and some of the propulsion
systems as well.

So it's spreading. Yes.

And changing. What do you mean?

It appears to be rewriting
itself as it grows.

It is unlike any human-engineered
program I have ever encountered.

Yeah.

Airperson, don't be there.

What are you doing?

I'm just checking something,
I'm sure it is impossible.

Crap.

What did you do?

I just ran it through
a translation program.

It's wraith.

Crap, indeed.

A wraith computer virus.

It was probably downloaded
during our last little encounter.

Well, if it's been there
all this time,

why are we just noticing it now?

Well, in all likelihood it was
transmitted in a compressed format.

It took a while to unfold,

to spread to the point where it
could adversely affect our systems.

I think it probably happened
during your return flight to earth.

Since then, it's been dormant,

waiting for some kind
of a trigger.

Like what?

Possibly the fact that we're once
again in proximity to wraith territory.

I think it was ultimately designed to
take control of the navigational system.

Fly the ship right to them.

If they get their hands
on the daedalus,

they'll not only have access

to the intergalactic
hyperdrive technology,

but they will have
all the navigational data

to lead them straight to earth.

That's what they wanted all
along, a new feeding ground.

This still doesn't explain who
killed Dr. Monroe and Dr. Lindstrom.

That's what
I'm trying to tell you.

It was the virus.

Look, it's an al,
an artificial intelligence.

It can think for itself, adapt
itself to new sfluafions_.

Protect itself. Exactly.

It knew that lindstrom and
Monroe were gonna expose it,

so it got rid of them.

Can it take over the
whole ship? Not entirely.

You have to remember that there are
100s of individual computers on board.

A lot of them are interconnected

so we tend to think of them
as one big machine,

but that's not really the case.

There are dozens of back-ups
and redundancies

and some systems like
life-support, are deliberately isolated.

So they can't kill us all
by venting the atmosphere.

That was the good news.

The bad news is some
of the more complex systems

like navigation and propulsion,

require a certain amount of
interconnectivity to function properly.

In all likelihood, the virus
has spread so far

through those systems,
that to isolate it

would make the ship
impossible to fly.

Till we figure out how to
get rid of it, we're stuck here.

(Beeping)

Colonel Caldwell? Sir, we just
began broadcasting a distress call.

What are you talking about?

It just came on by itself, sir.

Shut it down.

I'm locked out, sir.
McKay: It's the virus.

This is what I mean by
"adapting itself to new situations."

It doesn't have enough
control yet to fly us to the wraith,

so instead
it's calling the wraith to us.

And right now,
we are sitting ducks.

What are you doing?

Theoretically we should be able to
cut power to the long-range transmitter.

We won't be able to send
messages, but neither will the virus.

Theoretically?
Well, it's pretty smart.

So far, everything we've tried,

it's been one step ahead of us.

All right, try it now.

(Beeping continues)

It's no good, sir.
We're still broadcasting.

All right,
that leaves us one choice.

We need to do
a full-system shutdown.

We'll wipe everything, reboot,
load clean back-ups.

Will that really work?

Absolutely. I think.

How long will it take?

Well, it's not like the ship's
got an onloff button.

We'll need some time to
prepare, say an hour, maybe two.

Every minute we wait, we increase
our chances of being detected.

We need to turn off
the transmitter right now.

Do you have an idea?

As a matter of fact, I do.

But you're not gonna like it.

Caldwell: All right, colonel, we've evacuated
all sections in the vicinity of the array

and sealed the bulkheads.

Understood.

All personnel,
prepare for impact.

(Gun firing)

What's our status?

Transmitter is offline.

Distress signal
has been disabled.

Well done, colonel.
Return to the ship.

With pleasure.

Oh, here's a problem.

My controls aren't
responding. Say again?

Well, the daedalus is behind me.

I can't seem
to turn around and...

I am, however, picking up speed.

I should have seen this coming.

The navigational software
on the f-302 is compatible

with our sub-light systems
which will be infected.

The virus must have
uploaded itself onto his ship.

What about the transport
beam? That would work.

Those systems are still clean.

Do it.

John, this is Elizabeth.

Rodney seems to think the
virus has taken over your ship

so we're gonna try
to beam you out.

Acknowledged.

Stand by.

Uh, slight problem. What?

The transport beam is tied
to an asgard sensor.

It's what we use to
lock onto targets. So?

So, so that particular
piece of equipment

was located in the array
that we just destroyed.

I can key the system
to lock onto his radio signal.

That's what they used to do on the
prometheus before they had asgard sensors.

You'd better do it quick, because in about
three minutes he's gonna be out of range.

Weir: John, we've run
into a slight snag.

Rodney just has to make
a few adjustments

before we can
get you out of there.

Okay.

Don't worry.

We're not about to
give up on you just yet.

Here we go. Thanks.

I appreciate you coming
here in person, colonel.

Aiden and I were only cousins,

but since he didn't have any brothers
or sisters, we became very close.

I want you to understand, as far
as I'm concerned, he's still alive.

Till I see
evidence to the contrary,

I intend to
keep looking for him.

But you can't give me
any details.

You can't tell me where he was
stationed or how he went missing

or what the chances are
that I'll ever see him again.

I'm sorry.

This is exactly why I didn't want you
to speak with Aiden's grandparents.

They can't take
this kind of thing right now.

I'm starting to think that maybe I should
just tell them that he's not coming home.

At least then they
would have some closure.

We're... we're not there yet.

You know, Aiden mentioned you
in that tape message he sent.

He said you were a good man,

that he trusted you
with his life.

You tell me, colonel,
was that trust misplaced?

Colonel? Weir: Colonel?

Weir: Colonel.

John, are you still there?
Go ahead.

We're gonna use your radio
to target the transport beam.

We'll have you out of there
in just a minute.

Sounds good.
So I'm still in range, right?

Truth is, it's never been
tested from this distance.

Rodney seems to think
you'll be okay.

Well, that's good.

Wouldn't wanna leave
any parts behind.

We're ready. I'm beaming
him directly to the bridge.

Are you all right? Yeah.

Two arms, 10 fingers.
I'll check the rest later.

All right, doctor,
I've had enough of this.

I'd like to have
my ship back, please.

Right.

Man: Move.

Yes. Do you mind?

This is what I do when I
have problems with my laptop,

I turn it off
and then I turn it on again.

I think this is a little bit
more complicated than that.

I'm just saying
that ifwe're taking a page

from the John Sheppard book of
computer repair, we're really desperate.

All right, colonel, we're ready.

Caldwell.“ thank you.

All personnel,
this is colonel Caldwell.

Prepare for a full-system
shutdown.

All right, doctor, go ahead.

And...

What's all this?

Well, I figured we won't have many
more chances for a really good dinner.

I mean, the food on Atlantis,
it's all right.

And some of athosian dishes
are fantastic, but...

Elizabeth.

I'm not going.

I don't understand.

You're the adventurer, not me.
But I'm not.

I mean, at least I wasn't,
not before.

Look, the first time
I stepped through that gate,

I was terrified.

I knew I wasn't prepared
for what I was getting into.

But I took a chance. I know.
And I'm proud of you for that.

Simon, we...
There's something else.

I met someone.

You were gone for a long time,
Elizabeth.

Engine room, what's our status?

All systems
are functioning normally.

No sign of the virus. Looks
like it worked, colonel.

May I suggest
we vacate this system.

Our current position may
well have been compromised.

Can you give me hyperdrive?

That will take longer
to get back online.

I can get you sub-light.

Get us out of here, major.
Yes, sir.

(Beeping)

What is it?
We're veering off course.

Navigational controls
are not responding.

Damn it!

Caldwell: Engine room,
what's happening?

The virus, it's back.

And it's got full control
of sub-light navigation.

You said all systems
were clean. They were.

When we did the reboot
there was no sign of the virus.

This shouldn't be happening.

Sir, we've got another
problem. It's our new heading.

We're on a collision course
with the nearest star.

The virus returned
almost immediately

after we restarted the system.

At the risk of repeating myself,

I thought you said
we wiped it out.

We did.
We must have missed something.

And it's gonna crash us
into a sun.

Not exactly.

A more precise calculation
of our heading

shows that we will not
collide with the star,

but rather make a close
approach, near its coronasphere.

The ship will survive, but the
radiation will kill everyone on board.

Why kill everyone if they already
have full navigational control?

The virus has access
to our database,

it knows our tactics,
our tendencies...

They know we'd destroy the ship before
we'd allow it to fall into wraith hands.

Wait a minute.

There was a situation similar to
this back at Stargate command.

I remember reading the report.

An alien entity took control
of the base computer.

So they did a system shutdown
to destroy it.

It survived by uploading
itself onto a malp.

Okay, we don't have any malps.

No, but we've got
a bay full of f-302s.

We already know
the virus can upload itself

onto the ship's
navigational computers.

But it could've used
any one of those ships

as a hiding place while we
wiped the daedalus system clean.

It's the only possible
explanation. So?

So, we physically pull the
memory-storage modules from the 302s,

we do another shutdown,
that should do the trick.

Contact the bridge, tell Caldwell
we're on our way to the bay now.

It's not working.
Let's try another way.

It's the virus.

It must know what we're trying
to do. How's that possible?

It's thinking ahead, anticipating
our moves, like in a chess match.

I hope you're good at chess.
I don't get to play much.

It's tough finding
challenging opponents.

Bridge, this is Sheppard.

Are there any open paths
to the 302 bay?

That's a negative, colonel.

Looks like the entire
section's been sealed off.

We tried to override it,
but we're not having any luck.

You're gonna have to beam us in.

(Exclaiming) Wait a minute.

Transport beam wasn't designed to beam from
one point to another point inside the ship.

We could end up
re-materializing half inside a wall.

Well, we're just gonna
have to take that chance.

Right, of course. Why not?

Colonel, we're ready.

Caldwell: Stand by. Hermiod says
we need to make a few adjustments first.

Activating transport beam now.

It worked.

Oh, boy.

(Alarm blaring)

Sir, the bay doors are opening.

Bridge to engine room.
Beam them out now!

We should really,
really be dead right now.

I don't feel dead.

Colonel Sheppard, Dr. McKay,
can you hear me?

Sheppard: Yeah,
we're reading you.

Hermiod: I have raised
the fighter-ba y shield

in order to prevent
the atmosphere from escaping.

However, the virus
has invaded the system

and it is only a matter of
time before it gains control.

Therefore, isuggest you complete
your task as quickly as possible.

Caldwell: Colonel Sheppard,
how's it coming? We're getting there.

I can no longer
prevent the virus

from gaining complete control
of the shield.

Well, beam them out.

Unfortunately,

it appears I have lost
control of that system as well.

Man: Sir, the shield is down.

The cargo bay is decompressing.
Colonel Sheppard, come in.

Caldwell: Colonel Sheppard,
do you read me?

Caldwell: Colonel Sheppard,
do you read?

This is Sheppard. We're okay.

We managed to get in the last
f-302 before we lost atmosphere.

Any chance
you could beam us out?

Sorry, John,
we lost the transport beam.

You're gonna have to
sit still for a while.

We pulled all the memory units.

Another shutdown should work.
Weir: Understood.

Sir. I see it. Engine
room, this is bridge.

We've don't have a lot of time before
we approach lethal radiation levels.

Most of the shutdown protocols

are still in place
from our first attempt.

This will only take
a few minutes.

Let's hope we have
a few minutes.

You know, I've never actually been
inside one of these before today.

It's a little... cramped, huh?

Just relax, Rodney.

We're safe, for the moment.
Right.

Quick question, though,
just out of curiosity.

How much, like,
air do these things carry?

Lots. I'm just saying...

Because if this doesn't work and
we have to come up with another plan,

who knows how long we could
get stuck in here and, so, it would...

You know what, Rodney? You're
exactly right, it's a limited supply.

So why don't we conserve it
by you not talking, at all.

All hands,
this is colonel Caldwell,

we're gonna give this
another shot.

We 're initiating
total system shutdown now.

Re-initializing.

Did it work?
We will know momentarily.

This is Sheppard.
What just happened?

Stand by. We're trying
to figure that out.

I'm sorry, sir, we had
navigational controls for a second

but we just lost them again.

It didn't work.

We're still on course
for the coronasphere.

(Muttering)

This thing is like a damn
cockroach, you just can't kill it.

This should've worked.

We've disabled every
navigational computer in this bay.

There's nowhere else on
the ship the virus could hide.

You're right, there's nowhere
on the ship for it to hide.

But we didn't get
every computer.

What are you talking about?
We missed one.

What... what are you doing?

It's the last f-302, Rodney, the
one we left behind. It's tracking us.

Yeah, that makes sense,
but we can't go after it.

We have no computer-assisted
navigation.

I don't need a navigational computer to fly
this thing. Besides, we're not going far.

Engine room, this is Sheppard.

Prepare to initiate another
shutdown on my command.

John, what are you doing?

Getting rid of the last place
the virus can hide.

Wait, wait, wait.
I haven't got my belt.

Caldwell: Better
make this quick, Sheppard.

Radiation levels are beginning
to rise on the outer hull.

Sheppard: Understood.

(Beeping)

What is that beeping?

Somebodyjust locked onto us.

Hold on.

What happened
to inertial dampeners?

With these speeds you're gonna feel
the tight turns even with the dampeners.

Now he tells me.

I have them on my screens.

The computer-controlled ship
is preparing to fire.

We're just gonna
tap on the brakes here.

Nice move. Indeed.

He's making a break
for the coronasphere.

Any point in mentioning that
we have even less protection

in this ship
than we did in the daedalus?

Not really. Didn't think so.

Radiation levels in the colonel's
ship are beginning to rise.

Is it just me or is it getting
a little hotter in here?

Hold on, I almost got him.

What happened? They're
approaching the coronasphere.

There is too much interference.

See, thing is, I have very fair
skin. I tend to burn very easily.

Just a few more seconds.

How long can they survive
those radiation levels?

I believe it has already
been too long.

John, can you read me?

Weir: Please, Rodney, come in.

Daedalus, this is Sheppard.

Target is destroyed.
I repeat, target is destroyed.

If you try one more shutdown,
I think it might just work.

Weir: Well done, both of you.

You had us a little
worried there for a minute.

Sorry about that.
This is Caldwell.

We'll rendezvous as soon as we've
eradicated the virus once and for all.

Roger that. Sheppard out.

You did great back there,
Rodney.

Wanna take the stick?

Really?

(People chattering)

Dr. Weir, Dr. McKay,
Dr. Beckett, welcome back.

And lieutenant colonel Sheppard.

Congraunafions thank you.

Anything happen
while we were gone?

There has been no sign
of the wraith.

It would appear that they continue to
believe that Atlantis has been destroyed.

But I understand that your trip
was not so happily uneventful.

No, not exactly.
My nose is peeling.

Do you have moisturizer?
Beckett: Yes, Rodney.

We should get that. Yes, Rodney.

Any word from
your offworld contacts?

We have received
several intelligence reports.

However, as of yet, there is
no news of lieutenant Ford.

I'd like to read those
reports, if you don't mind.

I thought you might.
I prepared you this copy.

Thank you.

Ladies.

I'm sorry your journey
was so difficult.

Well, we got here,
that's what counts.

Still, it must have been
pleasant to return to earth.

A chance to reunite with
your friends and loved ones.

Dr. Weir. Dr. Weir,
I'm glad you're back.

We have several reports with
new information on the city.

Ever since we installed zpm, we've
made many interesting discoveries.

Can this not wait? Dr. Weir
has only just arrived.

Oh, I'm sorry, I...
No, it's fine, really.

Let's get back to work.
