I'm just saying, as a team
veteran to the new guy,

heavy lunch before
mission departure, badidea.

And even with the inertial
dampeners, this whole flying thing

is best done
on an empty stomach.

Yeah, well, I've got
a pretty strong stomach.

Hey, I can eat frozen dinners
without thawing them.

Sometimes it even affects me.

McKay, are you reading anything?

Nothing. Life signs
from the planet are negative.

Then it is a shame.

From what we read
in the Atlantis database

the dorandans were
a wonderful race of people.

Well, the database
is over 10,000 years old.

You can bet things have
changed around here.

Sheppard.

Okay.

That's not something
you see every day.

There was a great battle here.

Teyla: That is a hive ship.

That was a hive ship.

Something put a lot of holes
in it, all right.

We should check it out.

(Exclaiming) What if whatever
put holes in it wants to put holes in us?

We”, like you said, a lot's
changed in 10,000 years.

That would explain
the lack of life signs.

This is what usually
happens when you fight back.

These folks took out
a fleet of wraith ships.

I'd say they did a pretty
good job fighting back.

Hold on. I'm picking up faint
energy readings coming from

there.

(Thunder rumbling)

Well, that would explain how they
were able to put up such a good fight.

How? Because they were ancients.

(Thunder rumbling)

Definitely ancient design.
Their latest stuff, too.

Their latest being
10,000 years old.

Looks a lot like the labs
we found on Atlantis.

So this was
one of their outposts?

Yet the ancestors made no
mention of their presence here

in the database. Why?

Well, let's find out.
Can you power it up?

Working on it.

Sheppard: I got two bodies here.

Ronon:
I got three more over here.

Whatever happened here,

no one came back
to claim the dead.

Sheppard: Can't tell if
they were fed on by the wraith.

Ronon: Yeah,
something killed them.

Teyla: Something killed
everyone on this world.

Now, why is this outpost, if
that's what it is, still intact?

It doesn't make sense.
What do you think, Rodney?

Sorry. I wasn't listening,

but it just struck me that
this is an ancient outpost.

Why would the wraith
leave it intact?

That's a good question.

All right. So...

Weir: So it's a military
research facility?

From what we can tell,
it's a ground-based version

of the satellite weapon we
used to destroy that hive ship.

McKay: With one major
exception, firepower.

I mean, if that single outpost is responsible
for destroying an entire wraith fleet...

And you're sure
it was this weapon

that destroyed
all those wraith ships?

It had to be. There's nothing
on the planet that suggests

the dorandans had anything
capable of inflicting

anywhere near that much damage.

If we could learn
of such technology,

we could defend other
worlds from being culled.

It didn't save the dorandans.

Yeah, but at the end of the day

the outpost was still
standing. And that means...

Well, I'm not sure
what that means,

but it means something
definitely worth finding out.

Colonel? He's right.

It's definitely worth sending
a research team back.

We”, give me optican,
Collins and Zelenka,

if he's over the stomach qu.

We'll try to access
the computer's logbooks.

See if we can decipher them...
Okay, okay. Easy sell. Go.

Oh, good.

Teyla, um,

I heard you were heading
offworld on a personal mission.

To belkan, yes.
Sounds interesting.

The belkans possess a particular

disease-resistant
strain of flaxseed,

which would double the yield
of our crops on the mainland.

In exchange,

I intend to offer athosian
manpower to aid in their harvest.

Still interested?

Uh, this place has
everything I could want.

Don't get me wrong, but...

Sometimes you feel the need
to go somewhere else.

Anywhere else.
I know the feeling.

Bring only weapons
you can conceal.

Illkeepit to a bare minimum.

(Thunder rumbling)

(People chattering)

Zelenka: I'm telling you,
at least 0.09%.

Oh, please, please.
Move the decimal place.

(Stuttering) I mean, it's
impossible, for god's sake.

Have we figured
out what this is? No.

No, I wouldn't say no. No, we
have a theory. But we don't know yet.

No, but based on the shielding
around the chamber,

what else could it be?

Have you tried turning it on?
That's what we're working on.

The problem is that there's
no direct link between it

and the main power control
systems, which among other things,

led us to theorize that it's an ancillary
power supply for the weapons systems.

Cool. See that? See?

See the way he lights up
at the mention of that?

It's like Dr. Vogel
at the mention of pastries.

They found out a way
to soup up their space guns?

Yes, but it's... it's
much more than that.

Well, the sticking point
is that there's no tie

between the power generator
and the primary capacitor.

Yeah, meaning they would have to
channel the power directly into the weapon.

Which, I'm sure,
means nothing to you.

Means they could fire multiple
bursts without having to store up

more power
for the next firing sequence.

Yes. Very good.

Which leads me back to "cool."

Yes, but it only makes sense
if we're right.

About what?

Tell him. Not yet.

Come on, McKay,
you read the equations.

What else could it be?
An ancient typo?

Well, we know they're not
perfect, because they're all dead.

Look, I just... I just... I don't want
you to get all excited over nothing.

Well, maybe you're right.
I'll give you a hint.

It seems that the ancients
were experimenting

with high-energy physics on a
level that we've never seen before.

Wow. Yes, wow.

I just... I wanna be sure. So...

I'll do my best to wait.

Teyla: The manpower that
you are demanding is outrageous.

You would turn my people into
nothing more than indentured slaves

to serve your farms.

It would seem that you have nothing
else of value to trade but your people.

Mattas, you know full well
my offer is fair.

I'm sorry, Teyla.

If you had something of more
value to offer, technology, weapons.

You've heard my terms.

Then our business is done here.

She said her offer is fair.

I say it isn't.

Well, I say it is.

(People chattering)

What?

I had the situation
under control.

It didn't look like it.

So you came to my rescue?

You have no idea what is at
stake during these negotiations.

My people depend on me.

They were taking
advantage of you.

No, they were not.

That is what I wanted them
to think.

A negotiation
is a delicate process.

The words spoken
are often meaningless.

Teyla.

Do you want me to...

Go. Gather our things.
I will meet you at the gate.

It was a mistake
to force hendon's hand.

You'll only pay for it
next time.

I know.

Your friend is not athosian? No.

Ronon is the only survivor
of a world known as sateda.

He saved the life
of a friend of mine.

In return,
we offered him sanctuary.

If sateda is his homeworld,

then he is not
the only survivor.

There is a man in this village

who also claims
to be from there.

What have we got, sergeant?

It's colonel Sheppard, ma'am.

This is Weir. Go ahead, colonel.

Sheppard: We're on our way
back. Rodney wants to fill you in.

I take it you found
something interesting.

Interesting? How about the
greatest discovery of all time?

He's pretty excited.

So I hear. He couldn't
even wait till you got back.

I wanted to send an encoded
data burst directly from the outpost

to the secure network in my
lab while the gate was active.

Now.

Receiving transmission.
Transferring data.

Care to fill me in,
so I can be excited, too?

It's a weapon... it is much,
much more than a weapon.

We think we've stumbled across

the ancients'
last great discovery.

It was too late
to win the war for them,

but I think if I can finish the work
they started then... what is it?

It is the ultimate power source.

Something that would
make zero point modules

seem like alkaline batteries
in comparison.

It was called project arcturus.
And from what we can tell,

its ultimate goal
was to render zpms obsolete.

How?

A zero point module is an
artificially-created region of subspace-time.

It's kind of like a miniature
universe in a bottle.

It... it extracts vacuum energy from
this artificial region of subspace-time

until it reaches
maximum entropy.

So what's different
about this thing?

Project arcturus was attempting
to extract vacuum energy

from our own space-time,

making it potentially as powerful
as the scope of the universe itself.

It strikes me as something the ancients
would've tried first, even before zpms.

And they may have. But
extracting zero-point energy

from our own universe is...
Well, it's definitely trickier.

Explain "trickier."

Vveh, because we actually
have to live in our own universe,

it presents
a whole range of problems.

Well,
obviously it's not that easy

or Atlantis wouldn't
still rely on zpms.

Well, you're right.

The ancients couldn't
make it work.

I said I wanted to
do all the talking.

Come on, Rodney,
arcturus was a total failure.

Failure, yes. Total, no.

Look, the ancients were
losing the war against the wraith

when work on arcturus began.

If they could've made it work,

it could have
turned the tide of war.

I mean, we're talking about
their own Manhattan project.

Sheppard: The outpost was
ordered by the ancients in Atlantis

to defend the dorandan people
using their weapons

powered by
this new power source.

Yes, but despite
their strong reservations

that it was not ready to be
tested under battle conditions.

The point is, the wraith won.

Yeah, but the dorandans
still inflicted massive damage

on the attacking wraith eret.

I'm not saying they didn't
put up a hell of a fight.

The logs indicate
there was a major malfunction.

Well, yes, the ancients in the bunker
were forced to shut everything down,

including the weapon.
The wraith sent more ships.

The dorandans got wiped out.

So if the malfunction
hadn't occurred,

the ancients
would've saved the planet?

Definitely. Possibly.

Don't sugarcoat this, Rodney.

The ancient scientists running
arcturus were rushed into testing

before they had perfected a means of
effectively controlling the power output.

Ibeheve if they'd had more time,

history would've played out
differently on that planet.

Possibly in this galaxy.

I won't deny
that this is something

that we'd dearly
love to get our hands on,

but the ancients
were a pretty bright bunch.

And desperate. And losing a war
they'd already been fighting for 100 years.

More importantly, they were...
They were like this close.

And you believe
you can finish their work?

I do.

We do.

They do.

All right, I need
everyone's attention, please.

What we've got here
is a transmitter...

I need this code divided up into
sections and each one double-checked.

No, you're not listening to me!

I'm telling you
this one right here is wrong!

It's not going to...

Look, the whole point here is that
these numbers here need to be corrected.

Unless they're corrected...
There you go. "Simulation failed."

That's heavy.

So, I'm gonna need that
over there. Thank you.

Mcka y: What I want you do
is to pull the crystals.

Pull them when I say "go,"
all right?

I think we have it.

That's it.

(People chattering)

We are looking for
a man named solen.

Do you know him?

Upstairs.

Thank you.

Solen: Was I afraid?

Of course I was,

but my people
were counting on me.

Now, I was alone, and I was low
on ammo, but I managed to take out

the three wraith guards
and gain access to that ship.

Ronon: Liar.

What did you say?

Ronon?

There were two wraith guarding
that cruiser, and he wasn't alone.

Teyla emmagan, solen sincha.

We served in the same regiment
on sateda.

I'm honored.
You two make a nice match.

Congratulations.

We are friends, nothing more.

For years I believed
I was the only survivor.

So you don't know
about the others?

What others?

Before the city fell,

a few of us managed
to make it to the shelters

west of the capital.

Over 300 civilians
found their way there, too.

When we emerged, we realized
there was nothing to salvage,

so we left. All of us.

To where?

Some came here,
some went to manaria.

300?

Drink, ronon, and rejoice.
You're not alone!

Yeah!

Everything's been
triple-checked.

Power levels are holding
steady in all computer simulations.

Fire it up. All right.

Attention, all personnel.

Stand by for power-up
on my Mark.

Three, two, one.

Mark.

(Ronon and solen laughing)

Oh, man. To see kell's
face when he sees you.

Yeah, it's true.

Kell's alive?

And his family.

They're settled on belsa.

Run this big trading
operation over there.

When were you
gonna tell me this?

Honestly? I was gonna wait
till you drank a little more.

Then you've seen him?

Yeah, he comes around
now and then

to trade weapons
with the belkans.

He's got his own
private army now.

Is this kell a friend?

Oh, he's more like kin.

He was ronon's taskmaster
during his military training.

There is no closer bond.

None.

To reunions.

(Solen laughing)

To reunions.

Radek, talk to me.

I'm picking up some
minor power fluctuations.

Chamber temperature
is holding steady.

There it goes again.

Is everything okay?
McKay: Everything's fine.

The containment bottle was
designed to automatically compensate

for any sudden changes
in energy output.

This never happened
in the simulations.

Maybe we should abort.
I said it's fine.

Collins, see if you can boost
more power to the field manually.

You got it.

Okay.

Prepare for test firing.
On my Mark.

(Screams)

(Beeping)

Levels just spiked into the red.

What? Shut it down.
Shut it all down!

I'm trying. The interface
is not responding.

All right, I'm gonna
switch to backups.

Levels are going
off the scale! McKay?

I have given
the command to shut down!

Something's
creating an overload.

We should evacuate.
Just give me a few seconds.

We may not have that time.

Wait, wait, wait.
It's stabilizing.

The generator is offline.

What the he” just happened?

Obviously, there was
a surge of some kind.

Look, Collin...

Collins.

Collins!

(Sizzling)

Officially my report will indicate
Dr. Collins died due to radiation exposure

causing severe burns
to well over 90% of his body.

But it was more than that?

Beckett: Aye, much more.

To be honest, I have no idea
what sort of radiation it was.

I've never seen or heard of
cellular decay this massive,

not when exposure only
lasted mere seconds.

Collins' next of kin
have been notified.

Good.

What went wrong?

We're still analyzing data
from the test.

All we know for certain was
there was a massive power surge

which in turn caused the containment
field to expand asymmetrically

in the direction
of the command access tube.

As to why...
How about human error?

Excuse me?

Caldwell:
According to your reports

during the tests Dr. Collins
made an adjustment

to the containment field.

Isn't it possible that he
triggered the surge himself?

Are you looking for
a scapegoat, colonel?

Caldwell: Not at all, doctor.

I'm admittedly looking for a
rationale that would allow Dr. McKay

to continue
his very important work.

Is there something wrong
with that?

McKay: No.

Collins knew the system
just as well as any of us.

He wouldn't have made
that kind of mistake.

Everything was going well.
Everyone did their job.

Then what? I don't know.

In terms of physics,
it shouldn't have happened.

We're still analyzing
the data from the accident.

It's going to take time.

What I do know is the device
did what it was supposed to do.

No, Rodney, it didn't.

Well, apart from the obvious
containment issues.

Itovedoaded
and you couldn't stop it.

But we won't know for sure until
we go back down there and try again.

Try again? Are you serious?

Yes.

A member of your team
is in the morgue.

And I am responsible
for his death.

Yes, I am painfully aware
of that.

I sent him in there and I
will have to live with that

for the rest of my life.

But we have a responsibility to
understand what happened and learn from it.

Rodney, we don't even know
what went wrong.

Which is why
we have to go back there!

I know how important
this is to you, Rodney,

but we knew when we came to
Atlantis that we might encounter

certain technologies which,
for the moment,

are out of our reach.

That's not in this case.

You have the data
from your first attempt.

You can run
all the simulations you want.

Come on, Elizabeth,
you really think

the military's gonna
let this go, huh?

I mean, at the very least

we should be the first ones in
there to spearhead the research.

That's what this is about?
You wanna beat them to it?

I'm sorry. The answer's no.

I'm not tired.

Why did we leave?

I believe you've had enough.

I believe I have.

Good night.

Teyla.

There are 300 of my people.

Harry k. Daghlian.

Who?

He was a scientist, worked on the
Manhattan project at los Alamos.

He was only 26 years old.
Accidentally irradiated himself

while performing
a critical mass experiment

on two half-spheres
of plutonium.

It took him a month to die.

While his body was slowly shutting
down from radiation poisoning,

you know what he did
with his last 30 days, hmm?

He worked.

He tried until his last breath

to understand
what had happened to him

so that others could learn
from the tragedy.

So that his work,

his death wouldn't be
rendered meaningless.

Now, have you considered
what would've happened

if they shut the project down
after that?

This is different. Is it?

Collins' death
is a pointless waste of life

unless something comes of this.

And I am not sure that I can...

I think I know what happened.

Let's hear it. Can I come in?

The ancients had it wrong.

Our mistake was
using their equations.

Look, I just did
the calculations again myself.

I did them three times just to be
sure, and I am positive the problem

is in the automatic
containment protocols.

Okay, what's your fix?

I'm proposing that we adjust
the field strength manually.

You saw how fast
it spiked on you.

So we don't operate the generator
at anywhere near its potential.

Look, there's no need to be
greedy. Even operating at 50%,

it'll still generate
the power of a dozen zpms.

How come the ancients
didn't figure this out?

Maybe they were caught up
in the heat of battle.

Maybe they... they thought they
needed as much power as they could get.

Maybe they weren't smart enough.

And you are?

No, I didn't say that, but I have
the benefit of hindsight. They didn't.

Look, this is big.

This is the wheel,
the light bulb,

the hot dog big.

Best-case scenario?

I win a nobel prize.

Worst-case scenario?

We tear a hole
in the fabric of the universe.

Which is much less likely to
happen than the nobel prize.

I mean, look, the risks are nothing
compared to the potential benefits.

Elizabeth will listen to you.

I've never asked this of you
before, but I think I've earned it.

Trust me.

I've already made
this decision, John.

If Dr. McKay says
he's solved the problem,

I don't see why we don't
give him another shot.

Isn't the daedalus about ready
to head back to earth?

Yes, we are.

But I think you should know
the Pentagon has taken

a very keen interest
in this vacuum energy.

I'm sure they have, but the Pentagon
doesn't make the decisions here.

Yeah, I may not have the power
to overrule you on this,

but when I get back to earth, I'm
going to be making the recommendation

that Dr. McKay be allowed to continue
his work to the highest authorities.

Ultimately, Dr. Weir,
this won't be up to you.

Can Rodney guarantee that
the same thing won't happen?

Nobody can do that.

Then what's changed?

According to him it's
the ancients' calculations

that were wrong, not his.

If McKay is that confident,
I don't see why...

Confidence is not something
Dr. McKay is in any short supply of.

With good reason.
If anyone can do this...

The ancients could not do this.

That's what it keeps
coming back to for me.

Isn't it possible that you have placed
the ancients on such a high pedestal,

that you can't even consider the
possibility that they may be wrong?

Why are we mincing words,
colonel?

You want the weapon.

Yes, I do.

A weapon that could
effectively eliminate

the wraith threat
is very attractive to me.

And to the people
that I work for.

I'm not hiding that fact.

But there's more to it,
isn't there?

No more hunting for zpms,
the shield at full strength.

Faster, more powerful ships.

How about a power source

that can provide
the energy needs

for an entire planet?
No more fossil fuels.

I get it.

And if it worked as advertised
it would be wonderful.

I'm trying to tell you,
I know Rodney McKay.

And there are times

when I have to protect him
from himself.

I can do that.

Let me go back with him.
Just him and me.

You can activate the Stargate
any time you want

to contact us by radio.

He really sold you.

He asked me to trust him.

I appreciate your support,
colonel, but don't worry.

I try and make it a habit

not to make
the same mistake twice.

That was a joke, right?

I offer you my personal
assurance that a surge like the one

that happened before
is inconceivable.

Do you wanna run some
power-up simulations first?

How about I carry out my plan
and you keep the hot coffee coming?

I was joking again, right?

Now, where were we?

Dr. Weir, I need to
speak to you right away.

Okay... what is it?

I've finished going over
the accident data.

I think I know why the ancients
abandoned this technology.

Colonel Sheppard,
this is Atlantis.

Sheppard: Go ahead.

Is Dr. McKay with you?

Of course I am,
but we're a little busy

getting ready
to run a test here.

Actually, I would like you
to delay the test firing.

We have reason to believe
that the weapon's power source,

it may not be controllable
at any power level.

Radek? Zelenka: Rodney.

Okay, we've been over this. I'm
doing this manually, at half power.

It's a cakewalk.

I don't think it matters how
much cake you walk on.

I've been doing
calculations of my own.

And I believe that the very act of
trying to contain vacuum energy

from our own space-time
creates an environment

where the laws of physics
cease to apply.

What are you on about?

As power output increases,

new and exotic particles
are continuously created

and destroyed inside
the containment chamber,

interacting with each other
and with the field itself.

Eventually, particles are created that
cannot be predicted in this space-time.

And they breach the
containment field as hard radiation.

But as long as I'm monitoring
the energy output manually,

I can stop that
before it happens.

You cannot predict something
that is inherently unpredictable.

Rodney? I know what I'm doing.

Rodney, I am trying to tell you

as a friend,
I have serious doubts.

Well, you're wrong.
I'm sorry, but there it is.

And to bring this up now
when I'm just about to do this,

smacks of nothing
but professional jealousy.

Fine. Kill yourself.
Just like the ancients did.

(Exclaiming)
What do you mean by that?

I believe if the overload
is allowed to continue

the weapon acts
as a sort of release valve

to prevent catastrophic
containment failure.

The ancients barely managed
to shut it down,

and they lost their lives
in the process.

What we're suggesting
is that the wraith

didn't kill everyone
on that planet.

It was the weapon itself.

That would explain
why this place

is the only thing left standing.

Congratulations,
you've solved the mystery

of how the ancients
screwed up 10,000 years ago.

It doesn't mean
I will do the same.

Look, I don't know
how else to say this,

but none of you are
capable of understanding this

on the same level that I do.

And, Zelenka, that includes you.

Rodney, I cannot afford
to lose either one of you.

Now tell me, can you do this?

Yes.

Are you sure? Yes.

Are you sure you're sure?
I said, yes.

Because if you're wrong...
I'm not!

We'll call you back after the
test. How does that sound?

You'd better.

I won't let you down.

(People chattering)

How're you feeling?

Fine.

We should really be
getting back.

Dr. Weir will be expecting us.

Kell is here.

What?

He's meeting with hendon
right now.

Solen just told me.

I have to see him.

And you would like me
to arrange a meeting.

After yesterday,

I don't think I'd get
very far if I asked myself.

Okay, this is good.

My equations
are working like a charm.

Power level is at 40%,
just to be on the safe side.

I think we're ready
for our test.

Where do you want
the weapon targeted?

The debris orbiting the
planet. Sounds good.

Bringing the weapon online now.

(Beeping)

(Beeping)

What's that?

Energy surge. It's fine.

I can regulate it.

You said you...
The temperature inside

the containment field is well
within acceptable parameters.

I'm staying ahead of it.

Levels are rising
in the chamber.

Re-route power from the secondary
systems to the containment field.

I'm thinking we need to abort.

I can compensate.
Just give me a minute.

It's overloading.
Just like last time.

There is no logical reason
this shouldn't be working.

McKay. None of this
should be happening.

Look,
the energy levels are spiking

at a rate far greater
than anything I predicted!

Shut it down!

Fine.

(Beeping)

It doesn't make any sense.

What's wrong?

I can't shut it down.

(People chattering)

(Door opens)

I am kell from sateda.

Teyla emmagan of athos.

Thank you for granting us
your time.

If we are to trade, I would know

all the members of your party.

Of course. In fact,
that is why we are here.

Ronon? Heho, keu

Ronon, what have you done?

We all know who this man was.

What he was.

If anyone here believes
he should be avenged,

here I am.

You just used me
to murder an innocent man!

He deserved worse.

You said he was
like a father to you.

Kell commanded several
infantry divisions on sateda.

And when the wraith came, he
ordered thousands to their death.

Just to save himself. He was...

He was a traitor and a coward.

My only regret
is that his death was quick.

I understand.

In your place,
I might have done the same.

But believe me when I tell you
that the others would not.

We must not speak of this
when we return to Atlantis.

And if you ever use my
friendship in such a way again,

I will not be so understanding.

What was that?

Weapon's discharging to
prevent a catastrophic overload.

All right, that's it. We're out
of here. What did I just say?

The weapon's firing at random
targets above the planet.

This is the safest place
to be right now.

The place isn't gonna be safe
for very much longer!

I can bring it back under
control. Just give me a second.

No, you can't! One second!

I've seen this before, Rodney.

Pilots who wouldn't eject
when something went wrong,

trying to fix their planes
right until it hit the ground.

Okay, we need to leave.

I've waited too long.

The weapon can't discharge
enough power

to avoid a catastrophic ovedoad.

This whole planet's gonna go up.

Not that your speech
wasn't working.

Okay, strap in.

You need to avoid flying
in predictable trajectories

to prevent the weapon
locking onto us.

I know what I'm doing.

I'm just saying, be sure
not to fly in a straight line.

Rodney, shut up!

Can I just say there's no way the
jumper can take even one direct hit.

I'll keep that in mind.

The weapon's locking onto us.

I'm gonna fly us away from the
planet and return after the overload.

We can't. Why not?

Don't you understand?

This explosion is gonna take out
three-quarters of the solar system.

There's no way we can
fly far enough, fast enough.

We have to head for the gate.

Dial the gate.

How do you intend to avoid
getting hit on the final approach?

I haven't figured
that part out yet.

Caldwell: It's a good thing we stopped
by to check on your progress, colonel.

Make a break for the Stargate.
We'll run interference.

Sheppard: Copy that, daedalus.

Stand by to engage
sublight engines on my Mark.

Recommend you go into
hyperspace as soon as we go through.

There's gonna be a big bang.
Caldwell: Understood.

(Explosion)

(Weir and McKay arguing)

Teyla: Take this grain
to the storage room.

Weir: Everybody on this base
trusts you.

You are the smartest man
we have.

McKay: I know.

Weir: You knew there was a
question about what you were doing.

You put your life and
other people's lives at risk.

You destroyed three-quarters
of a solar system!

Well, five-sixths.
It's not an exact science.

Rodney, can you give your
ego a rest for one second?

Oh, colonel. Colonel.

I've been looking all
over for you. I heard.

I suppose I deserve that.

Look, I just...

I wanted to apologize
about what happened.

I was wrong. I'm sorry.

And I wanted to assure you
that I intend on being right again.

About everything,
effective immediately.

That was a joke. Good one.

I've already
apologized to Elizabeth.

And radek and...

And I thanked colonel Caldwell
for caring enough

to spy on the experiment
from orbit.

Sent him a nice
little e-mail, actually.

But I saved you till last
'cause... honestly, I would...

I would hate to think that
recent events might have

permanently dimmed your faith
in my abilities.

Or your trust.

At the very least, I hope
I can... I can earn that back.

That may take a while.

I see.

But, I'm sure you can do it

if you really, really try.
