You sure you don't
want to spend your leave

going back to earth with
McKay and the others?

No, sgc doesn't have a zpm,

so two weeks on earth means three
weeks cooped up in the daedalus.

That's five weeks
of missing work.

We only get one of those
every year and a half,

so I'd like to save mine
for something more special.

So we're going camping instead?

On a beach that's never
been surfed or even touched.

You know, you got to get a
little more excited about this thing.

Uh-huh.

Hey, check that out. What?

Think he's ever
going to make a move?

(Both laughing)

Who cares?

Hmm...

Say,

I know we only get 14
days on earth a year

and you miss your dad and all...

See, one of my old...

A guy who was doing his
doctorate at the same time as me,

he's giving a big
secret presentation

about some new thing
that he's working on,

and everyone and anyone in the
physics community is going to be there.

And... we”...

See, the thing is, there's this
perception out there that I'm

like a washout recluse. Why?

Well, 'cause I do this
for a living.

I mean, super double
tip-top secret stuff.

I mean, I haven't published
a paper in nearly a decade,

not one that can be read
by the general public,

and I'm kind of hard
to get a hold of,

what with living in
another galaxy and all.

Yeah, I know what that's like.

Exactly. They think
I'm a shut-in. So,

I was thinking that if I was to,
say, show up with a woman...

Uh-huh.

A beautiful woman,

that they would maybe
not think that I was,

like, a complete loser.

It would be, like, one day.
The first night we're there,

and then you could be
off to chippewa falls.

I mean, it could be fun.

Hmm. Well, let's see,
a room full of physicists,

a long-winded presentation
I probably won't understand...

Yeah, it doesn't really
sound like fun.

Well, there'ii be
drinks, probably,

and maybe those
little sandwiches

and me.

I'll be there.

You don't have to
fabricate all these reasons

on why you need me
to be with you.

You could just ask me
out on a date.

Hey, I didn't want to...
I mean, I know you...

I'll probably say yes.

Well, you want to go
to this thing with me?

Sure.

I'd love to.

Well, I'd love... I mean, that's
good. Good. Great. That's...

It's a date.

It's a date.

So what's the presentation?

I don't know.

He doesn't want to tell
anyone till we all get there,

but if I know this guy,

it'll be, you know,
a first-class presentation

with, like, second-rate science.

Probably some minor
adjustment to someone else's work,

but the food will be good.

And the company.

Malcolm, have you read this?

Yes.

Your staff thinks it's reckless
to turn this thing on tomorrow.

Some of my staff.

Malcolm...

(Sighs)

They're just getting
cold feet, that's all.

Do you remember all
that stuff that came out

before cern turned on the lhc?

You know, miniature black holes,

exotic particles, strangelets,

the instantaneous
destruction of the planet,

all unfounded histrionics.

We are going to be just fine.

So, you're saying none of these
potential catastrophes is gonna happen?

Well, there is always the slight
possibility that something might go wrong.

The cause has
a lot riding on this.

Don't worry about it. Your
precious cause will come out

of this squeaky clean tomorrow.

Some of these worst-case
scenarios are terrifying...

Of course they're terrifying,
they're worst-case scenarios!

They are the worst possible
thing that could ever happen, ever.

(Sighs)

Tomorrow's going to
come off without a hitch.

We've done hundreds of tests.
There is zero possibility for failure.

Trust me.

This is exciting.

(Chuckles)

Well, it's just a plane.

Yeah, but I've never
even rown first class.

I mean, this is amazing. Have
you tried these strawberries?

When I was 10, I ate a bowl
full of strawberries and threw up.

I haven't been able
to stomach them since.

How does this guy
afford all this?

I thought he was
just a physicist.

Well, he was always
able to dupe guys

with deep pockets
into backing his research.

It's amazing what a nice smile

and a powerpoint
presentation will get you.

Well, I am impressed.

Yes, I can see that.

Come on. You should be
happy for your friend's success.

Well, he's more of an
acquaintance than a friend.

Acquaintances don't pick
you up in private planes.

He didn't send
the jet to be nice.

He sent the jet to
rub it in my face.

Look, I was always one step
ahead of this guy during school,

and now that we're
in the real world,

he wants to show me that, as far
as most of the planet is concerned,

he's a lot more
successful than I am.

And what is with
the evening attire?

I mean, we're going to a
science talk, for god's sake.

Who the hell
does he think he is?

Is this what the whole day
is going to be like?

Are you going to be
in a bad mood?

'Cause we're back on earth

on a private jet, drinking
expensive champagne,

and your date's
wearing a fancy dress.

Most people would be
having a good time, Rodney.

You're right. You're right.

Hmm.

McKay. Dr. Rodney McKay.

Dr. Jennifer Keller.

Yes. Welcome.

I'll just need you both
to sign this non-disclosure

and confidentiality agreement.

You're not serious.
Is there a problem, sir?

This whole thing is a
confidentiality agreement?

Yes, sir.

What could they possibly
be doing back there

that needs to be kept
200-pages secret?

If you want to go inside, sir,

you need to sign the agreement.

Dinosaurs?

Excuse me?

Do they have living
dinosaurs back there?

Because I'll sign this if he's
brought dinosaurs back to life.

But short of that,
he is out of his mind

if he thinks I am
going to pretend

that whatever discovery he's
made is so important and so secret

that I have to sign the unabridged
works of William Shakespeare here.

Just sign it.

Here you go.

You're just lucky the
lady's here, aren't you?

Where do you think we are?

I don't know. Arizona? Nevada?

I didn't think people even
built secret facilities anymore.

It seems so 1950s.

Rodney McKay?

I had it on good authority
that you were dead.

(Laughs ironically)

And this would be your sister?

No, no, new you know,
she's not my sister.

This is Jennifer Keller. That's
bill nye and Neil degrasse Tyson.

You know, from television.

Yeah, of course.
Very nice to meet you.

No, the pleasure's mine.

McKay: And she's taken, Neil.

No, no, I didn't
mean it that way...

Neil likes to
steal things from me,

things like women and
theoretical physics ideas.

Yeah, but who hasn't stolen an
idea from the great Rodney McKay?

Oh, so we admit it now.

See, back in the day, whenever
any one of these people came up

with a new idea or
published a new paper,

Dr. McKay here would swear

that he was already working
on something very similar,

just hadn't gotten around
to publishing it yet.

He'd say things like, "I was
about to say that very same thing,"

or, "I was just about
to have that same idea."

Hey, at least I didn't declassify
pluto from planet status.

Way to make all
the little kids cry, Neil.

That make you feel
like a big man?

See, thanks to Dr. Tyson, pluto
is now the first of the plutoids,

a new class of
celestial object. It's cool.

Come on, Rodney.
It's the 21st century.

Actually, come to think of
it, when was the last time

you even published a paper?
It was like the '80s?

It hasn't been that long.

I think I was
listening to that band

a flock of seagulls
while I was reading it.

Actually, it might
have been pre-Reagan.

Well, it has been great
running into you guys.

We should maybe get our seats.

(Whistles)

They can't possibly
be dating. I know.

Well, you know,
you're married, so dibs.

She's all yours.

I think maybe this
was a bad idea. Why?

Well, I just remembered I
don't really like these people.

Is it that you don't like them,

or maybe they don't like you?

Possibly. I mean, I used
to be a little abrasive.

Used to be. Yeah.

It's hard to explain. My
field is very competitive.

Yeah, iwent to med
school for six years.

I wouldn't know
anything about that.

Oh, right.

Not everything has to be
a competition, Rodney.

They know how smart you
are. I'm not sure they do.

Of course they do. You don't
have to keep reminding them.

It's called being humble.

You've heard that word before?

Look, we're on our first date, and
I've come to a physics talk, okay?

You have to bend
a little bit, too.

Humble, eh?

I guess I can try anything once.

Malcolm.“ earth,

our home, our planet,

the very vessel of life.

Our world, unique,
irreplaceable.

And yet, at times,

it seems like we are
unrelenting in our quest

to drive our ecosystem
into catastrophic failure.

Gone unchecked,

global warming will transform
this lush world we know today

into a lifeless and arid rock.

Friends, the stakes couldn't be
higher, the situation no more dire.

It's time to act.

Hello. I'm Malcolm tunney.

If he's so worried
about global warming,

why did he fly us here
on a private jet

that spews out
more 002 than Sweden?

(Hushing)

Thank you very much. Very kind.

As many of you know, I am
not an environmental scientist,

nor do I pretend to be one.

For instance,
I shower regularly.

No offense, Larry.

I'm just a concerned citizen,

one who realizes that the
earth has carried us for so long,

maybe it's time
that we carried her.

That ratio would be accurate if
his body was the size of his ego.

Yeah, it's a little much.

Solving a problem like global
warming may seem impossibly complex.

So many nations,
so many corporations,

and John q. Public
will have to agree

on a dizzying number of issues.

So, then, what can one person
really do to make a difference?

What can I, with my particular
and unique skill set do to help?

They think you're the
arrogant one? Hmm.

I've been working on a number
of projects over the last decade,

and I realized that
if I were to combine them,

I just may be able to achieve
something unexpected.

So, ladies and gentlemen,

with major funding from my
friends at Kramer innovations,

I have been able to
devise a means

to cool our planet in
a safe and controlled way.

This guy wouldn't know cool...

Now, the science behind this
is immensely complex,

but there will be detailed
briefs handed out to you

as you leave the lecture
hall. But for right now,

let me just give you
the cliffnotes.

It begins with a massive heat
sink, one of my own design,

which steadily draws heat from
the surrounding environment.

Where does the heat go?
Where does the heat go?

"Where does that heat go?"
You may ask.

Well, my friends,
that is the hard part.

I give you the tunney
space-time matter bridge.

(Audience murmuring)

Wait. What?

Now, this isn't just some
theoretical math proof

this is a functioning
piece of technology,

one that literally moves
heat from our space-time

and vents it out
into another space-time.

That's my bridge... my
sister and I came up with that.

(Hushing)

Sorry.

Malcolm: And it works.

We've been testing the
system for a few months now,

and it has proved to be
remarkably stable.

That's my idea!

Rodney, now is not the time.

For the purposes of
the demonstration today,

I've surrounded this facility
with an electrified plasma grid

that will contain the
reach of the heat sink.

It will draw heat
only from this facility.

Wait, he's going to turn it on with
us here. That's... this is a bad idea.

Rodney, please. And to
prove the effectiveness

of this system,

I will lower the temperature
within this facility by 10 degrees.

And don't worry, I've
turned off the air conditioning,

so there'll be no
cheating, I promise.

I'm sorry, I can't
let him do this.

No, Rodney...
Excuse me! Malcolm.

Dr. McKay. Thank you for coming.

This is a bad idea.

Well, we're not quite ready
for the q&a session yet,

so if you could
just wait till then...

Let's just take
a look at the data

you've come up with
and talk about this,

because turning the device on
with all these people here

could be very dangerous.

Respectfully, I disagree.

You can't do something
like this without our consent.

Man: Sit down!

You did sign the document
when you entered, didn't you?

Vveh, yeah, I
thought that was just...

Then I have your consent.

Yeah, but... look,
I've been doing work

that is very, very
similar to this...

Really?

I don't think that's possible.

Look, these Bridges to other
space-times can be very unpredictable.

Do you have any research
you'd like to put forward right now?

A paper, perhaps? Anything
to back up your claim?

Rodney, please. Tell me
this isn't just petty jealousy.

Okay. Vveh, no, no, ljust_

No, I didn't think so.

Don't worry, everyone.
This is completely safe. And...

(Crackung)

We're up and running.

Now, I'll be happy to
answer all of your questions

once you've had a chance
to read the brief, but for now,

why don't we all go back out to
the lobby where hot cocoa is waiting?

'Cause it's about to
get very cold in here.

Thank you.

Come on.

Let's go get some hot
chocolate, okay? Come on.

(Stammering) This is... how
did he even get a hold of my work?

You're sure this is
your work? Absolutely.

You believe me, don't you?

Of course I do.

There is no way that he
came up with this on his own.

We've got to...
We've got to... we...

Come on.

We shouldn't be in here.

Okay, just stand
guard there. Why?

It'll take me a couple of
seconds to hack into his computer.

What are you doing?

Malcolm: Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, but I don't think

an achievement of this magnitude

can truly be credited
to one man.

Dr. Tunney, sir.

Excuse me.

Yes? What is it?

Well, you told us to shut the
device down once we reached 64.

Yes, that's right. We
can shut it down now.

Well, that's the
problem, sir. We've tried.

We've tried everything, in fact.

The device won't shut off.

Terrence: Malcolm! I'm sorry,

could you just
give me a moment here?

Let me in here. Let me in here.

All right, now,
who's been in here?

Just us, sir.

What is it?

Well, the bridge
won't deactivate.

I don't understand
why it shouldn't.

Shut down the power
to the facility.

That won't do anything.

The system self-generates its
own power once it's up and running.

Well, then shut down
the containment field.

We need to get these
guests out of here.

That won't work, either.

Why not?

Why not? Well, it's
impossibly complicated,

but the containment
field is tied

into the basic operations
of the device, all right?

It literally can't shut down until
we collapse the matter bridge.

It's a safety protocol,
one that I can't reprogram

until we can
power down the device.

So, we're trapped in here
until you can get this thing fixed?

Yes.

What happens until then?

The bridge will continue to
draw heat from the heat sink.

We've just dropped
10 degrees in 10 minutes.

In an hour, we're
going to be below zero.

We're going to freeze to death.

Well, I've activated the
facility's heating system.

That should buy us
a little bit of time.

You said "without a hitch,"
you'd run hundreds of tests.

Someone has messed
with the system.

That was out of line, man.

He stole the work.

Hey, come on. It was in the
middle of his presentation.

He was about to start the
thing up! It couldn't wait.

He brought you here
as an olive branch.

He wanted to Bury the hatchet.

Yeah, in my back.

Dr. McKay. Dr. Keller.

Yes? Yes?

Mr. Tunney would like a word.

Uh-huh.

Well, I'm guessing that,
that word is "I apologize."

That's two words, genius.

He's one odd duck, that guy.

(Door opens)

McKay: Ah!

Well, it takes a big man
to admit that he's wrong,

and much as I appreciate it,
I really would prefer

that this whole apology thing
took place a little more publicly.

Malcolm: Are you kidding?

You are the one who
should be apologizing to me.

What the hell for?

I invited you here as a
courtesy, out of kindness.

You know, most people think
you've lost your mind,

that you've gone Howard Hughes.

Just because
I don't call anymore

doesn't mean I'm
keeping my urine in jars.

Look, ldont need you
to... terrence18mhup.

I don't have time for this.

What have you two done?

What have we done?

We can't shut the device down.

I told you not to turn it on.
I practically begged you.

But would you listen? No!

Tell us what you did
and how to undo it,

and I'll consider
not pressing charges.

We didn't do anything.

Really? Explain this, then.

We shouldn't be in here.

Stand guard there. Why?

It'll take me a couple seconds
to hack into his computer.

What are you doing?

If that son of a bitch thinks
that he can humiliate me

in front of my peers
and get away with it,

he's got another thing
coming. I will destroy him.

Now is not the time, Rodney.

Got to be something
in here I can use

to discredit
the pretentious tool.

Hurry up, hurry up, somebody's
coming. Come on, come on, come on!

Now, look, I can see
how, out of context,

that could seem incriminating...

"Out of context"?

What were you doing in there?

I was looking for a paper I
published a little over two years ago,

one that dealt with
a matter bridge.

Rodney, you have not published
a paper in a very long time.

You probably didn't
even know it was my work.

You're publishing
under a nom de plume now?

Okay, here's how
I think it went down.

You were working
with the government.

Someone there trusted you a lot

and let you see something
you weren't supposed to see.

Or maybe you were sent
something by accident. Who knows?

You saw a paper
about a matter bridge,

a project that was shut down due to
the adverse effects of exotic particles.

You read it, you realized
that if the bridge was used

merely as a transfer
of energy, say heat,

there would be no exotic particle
creation and thus no adverse effects.

So, you co-opted
the science as your own,

made a few changes to
make yourself feel better,

and got to work, dismissing
the original author's warnings

about the inherent instability
of time-space Bridges.

How am I doing so far?

That's preposterous. Dr. Tunney's
been working on this for years.

That was my work, Malcolm.

I wrote that paper.

Terrence, these people
may be able to help us.

(Sighs)

This is bad.

The sabotage?

Sabotage? Please.
But you said there was...

I may have rushed to judgment.

Can you shut it down?

Look, these matter Bridges are
the very definition of unpredictable.

You know, I think I remember you
saying something about that before.

Yes or no, doctor?

Look, I don't know yet.

Have you turned
up the heat? Yes.

Have you noticed this?

Yes.

What is it?

The bridge isn't drawing
a consistent load

from the heat sink.
Instead, it's wavering.

Why is that bad?

I wouldn't necessarily call it
bad. It's definitely not good,

but I don't know that I'd
go so far as to call it bad.

You're kidding me, right?

McKay: A regular
bridge should draw

the same amount of energy
from the heat sink at all times.

This one is fluctuating greatly.

Maybe we can use that.

Wait for it to peak, then
overload it and crash.

That's a good idea.

McKay: Yeah, I thought
you'd like it,

what with it being
my idea and all.

(Keyboard clacking)

It's freezing in here.

Man: We get it. It works.

Shut it down. I'm starting
to freeze to my chair.

What the hell was that?

A sudden and dramatic
cooling beam.

The irregular power
pull from the bridge...

So when the bridge makes a
sudden demand on the heat sink...

The heat sink reacts
by drawing power

from a single, localized place
inside the containment field.

And that beam would freeze
anything in its path.

I did not see this coming.

It's freeze lightning.

Freeze lightning, I like that.

You can't have it. It's
mine. It's copywritten.

How's he doing?

He's in very bad shape.

It's like his whole left
side has been flash-frozen.

I have never seen
anything like this before.

Oh, man.

Look, this isn't
entirely your fault.

I really hope
he signed his waiver.

Do you think this is the
first time this has happened?

Yeah, or maybe
just the first time

anyone's been
around to notice it.

So this thing could be wreaking
havoc all over the facility.

So this is going to
keep happening?

Yes, and probably
with greater frequency.

Okay, this little side effect
is going to really hamper

our attempts to
shut this thing down.

And by hamper, you
mean get us all killed.

Yeah, something like that.

We need to call in the military.

I'd prefer not to
do that just yet.

You're lucky that guy
out there isn't dead.

I'm sure these two
can get the device

back into its
proper operating mode.

McKay: It's a
little late for that.

Terrence, things have gotten out
of hand. We need to make that call.

We make that call and the
government shuts us down.

Yeah, that's the idea.

Malcolm: I don't understand.

When the device
started to malfunction,

the first thing you wanted to do

was get everyone
out of here safely.

To avoid the project being
branded as too dangerous

to move fon/vard.

Well, the cat's
out of the bag now.

Are you worried about all
the money you sunk into this?

'Cause that's gone.

No, I'm not worried
about the money.

We're close to coming up with
a solution for global warming.

We could save the planet.

It's bigger than me,
and it's bigger than you.

And if we can get the device under
control without calling the military,

they're going to let us
continue our research.

I've got news for you.
You can't control it,

and you shouldn't continue
with your research.

Terrence: We'll figure it out.

I have the utmost
faith in both of you.

This is ridiculous.
Give me your cell.

No, it won't work, not with
the containment field up.

There's too much interference.

You have a land line
in your office.

It's dead. Give me that.

Mmm-hmm. It's dead.

Kramer must have
killed the phones.

I don't suppose you have access
to the communications room?

It's a Kramer facility.
I just work here.

Great.

Looks like it's up
to you and me.

We'd better get back to the
control room, figure this out ourseres.

Wait. Wait, wait.

Isn't there, like, a room
full of geniuses out there?

That's debatable.
That's debatable.

If that freeze lightning thing
happens again, people could die.

They'll slow me down. Hey!

What happened to that "humble"
thing we were going to try today?

The result is what I am
calling freeze lightning.

Unbelievable.

It is the sudden and immediate
transfer of heat from a localized area,

and it is potentially
very lethal.

We need to figure out how
to collapse the matter bridge,

stop it from drawing
energy from the heat sink,

otherwise it's going to get
unlivably cold in here.

Why don't we just turn
this containment field off

and get out of here?

Well, for one thing, it's tied into the
basic function of the matter bridge,

so we can't just shut it off.

Even if we could, it
houses so much cool air now

that it would create a sudden,
massive cold front as soon as it drops.

I mean, we're talking
high-speed winds,

tornadoes,
an instant mega-storm.

Not to mention the fact that the
heat sink would start to draw heat

not just from this facility,
but from the entire planet.

We cannot allow that to happen.

Why don't we just destroy
it, just bash it apart?

Because that could create
a tear in our space-time.

Yeah. Never mind, then.

Look, you guys are
the best of the best.

I'm sure if you work together,
you'll come up with something.

(All arguing)

Man 1: I think...

Woman: That will never work.
Look, just give me two seconds...

Man 2: No! Man 3: No!

You're going about
this all wrong.

Watch who you're
correcting, science guy.

My phd is not honorary.

Hey, look, I'm an engineer. I can
do math! Just listen to my idea...

I have been listening to you,

and that is what led me to
believe that you are a moron!

If it's any consolation,
you're both wrong.

What, and you're right?

Nye: We're supposed
to listen to you?

You're the jerk that
got us into this mess.

I have a workable theory.

Malcolm: Yeah, a theory.

Maybe take into account the fact
that I have some experience with this,

that I've been doing work
that is years ahead

of anything you guys have
even been dreaming about.

I think that's kind
of what I'm getting at!

This is embarrassing.

Look at you.

The greatest minds
this world has to offer,

and if I didn't know any better,

I'd think there was a bunch
of sixth graders in here.

You guys need to
suck it up and get along.

It's like I've always
said, you see,

people are more alike
than they are different...

Not now, nye.

Okay.

Our lives are at stake here.

We need a solution,
and we need this fast.

Please.

Come on, the rest of
us are counting on you.

Yes, Rodney.

I think I'm onto something. It
just needs some ironing out.

Okay. Great.

Guys...

Yeah, well, let's have
a look at it and just...

Fresh eyes.

They'll figure something out.

I'm sure they will.

Let's just hope it's
before someone dies.

You know, my uncle George,

he always hated the
phrase, "save the planet."

Well, he just thought what?

It was a little backwards,
you know,

'cause the planet's going to be
here no matter what happens.

It might be a giant unlivable
rock, but it's going to survive.

So, you're turning this into
a discussion on semantics?

What I mean is, Mr. Kramer,
the work you're doing

isn't about saving the
planet. It's about saving lives.

And that's a noble pursuit,
trying to save billions of people,

but it's no less
noble to save 100.

These guys, no matter
how smart they are,

they could use some help.

One phone call could
get that help here.

Now, please.

Please let me make that call.

Oh! Don't tell me.

Oh, god.

I'm so sorry.

Can you fix this?

No. We're completely cutoff.

Well, that's terrible news.

It's my fault. I should
have... yes, you should have.

You need to see this.

The cold temperatures are affecting
the containment field emitters.

When they're weak,
they're on the verge of failing.

That's great. We can get most
of the people out of here, no?

Make a call to the military?

We're surrounded by desert air.

The temperatures inside
the containment field

have gotten very, very cold.

Introducing a sudden
and immediate blast

of icy air is going to create
one hell of a vortex storm.

There's no way a cell phone
transmission could make it through,

let alone actually get
people out of here safely.

We can ride out the storm.

No, if we can't
shut down the device,

the heat sink's going to keep feeding
cold air into that weather system.

It'll never stop.

That's not good.

No, I'd rather
that didn't happen.

McKay: No, no, no. This
might be a good thing.

What is it?

Well, the containment field is
dying a slow but consistent death.

It might be weak enough to

actually punch a cell
phone signal through now.

You know, you might be right.

Okay, this is
probably our best bet.

These two emitters
are the weakest.

It's a bit of a run from here,
so I'd better get going right now.

Keller: Wait, wait, wait.

Give me your cell.

We need you here to help
Rodney dismantle the bridge.

I'll make the call.

Come on. All
right, all right. Fine.

Thanks.

I'm going to radio
once I get through.

Good luck. You, too.

She seems like
a very capable woman.

She sure is.

She's your sister, right?
Is she single?

All right, where were we?

Your idea of oven/vhelming
the bridge to the point of collapse,

it's a good one.
It's right on track.

But...

Everybody here thinks it means
we've got to dial up the heat sink.

It's going to get even colder.

And that could result in an
unpredictable amount of freeze lightning...

Which could kill us all. Right.

The facility's furnace
just went down.

Well, how did that happen?

We've been running at
120% for the last hour

to compensate for
falling temperatures.

We're in the middle
of the desert.

The facility's not meant
to be heated like this.

Well, we're going to get below
freezing pretty darn quick now.

All right, well,
we can't power it down,

'cause it generates
its own power.

And we can't wait for the
containment field to collapse

because the storm
will probably kill us.

McKay: All right, guys,
we don't have a choice, okay.

We've got to wait for
the bridge to peak,

dial up the heat sink,
see if we can oven/vhelm it.

I know it's dangerous,
but that's all we've got.

Okay, look.

There's too many people in here.

I have important work to do.

I do not need you in the
way, so, everybody, out!

Oh! Come on.

(Beeping)

Thank god.

(Phone ringing)

General Landry's office.

Yes, this is
Dr. Jennifer Keller.

I need to speak to
the general immediately.

It's an emergency.

(Static)

Hello?

Hello?

Hello? This is Dr...

(Static)

Hello?

(Beeping)

Son of a bitch!

Should we warn everyone
we're about to do this?

No, no, that would
just cause a panic.

It's probably better
they don't know.

We have no way of moving
people to a safe area,

plus we have no idea where the
next freeze lightning strike could hit.

"Freeze lightning," you
know, that's a bad name.

Don't look at me. It's his idea.

(Stammers)

Okay, here we go.

(Beeping)

(People shrieking)

All right, shut it off.

I can't. It hasn't
collapsed the bridge yet.

I had a signal before. Come on!

(Screams)

It's not working! We just
need a little more time,

just a little more time.

The lightning strikes are freezing
off whole sections of the facility.

Everyone is getting isolated.
McKay: It doesn't matter.

They'll melt eventually if
we can shut this thing down.

You are going to kill us all!

Okay, look, I just
need to keep doing...

(System whirring weakly)

What did you do?

I turned it down.

What? Why?

It was too dangerous.
But we were almost there.

It was peaking out!
It was going to work.

Yeah, and we would all be dead.

We just have to come up
with something else.

Yeah, something fast 'cause the
containment field is about to fail.

Great.

Notgood.

Rodney, can you hear me?

Please tell me you
got through to the sgc.

Well, you've got to keep trying.

I'd love to, but my
phone got a little soaked.

It's not even turning on.

What?

My hallway got hit by
that freeze lightning thing.

Are you okay?

I am now,
but I won't be for long.

What happened?

I'm frozen in,

and the pipes busted open.

My body temperature
is dropping really fast.

Okay, I'll radio security. I'll get
someone out to her right away.

Look, security's on the way.
I need you just to sit tight

and try to stay warm, okay?

Okay.

Sorry I didn't
get the call through.

You did your best.

Did you shut that thing down?

Not yet. We're working on it.

Hurry. Yeah.

Nye: McKay! Okay,
look, I've got to go.

Someone's on the way, all right?

What is it?
Containment field failure

in three, two, one...

(Crackung)

(Wind howling)

Winds aloft.
Reaching dangerous levels.

If it continues like this,

we're going to have a mess
of tornadoes on our hands.

Great. Even less
time before we die.

(Wind howling)

Look, this device is capable of
generating its own power, right?

Yeah, a small
percentage of the energy

that we're transferring is
siphoned off to power the device.

So once it's running,
it's self-sustaining.

Which is why we can't
just pull the plug.

Exactly.

But it's only capable
of powering itself

to a certain extent, right?

I mean, it has a finite amount
of power generation capability?

Well, yes, of course.

Maybe we've been
approaching this the wrong way.

We've been trying to
force so much power

through the bridge
that it overloads it.

I mean, maybe we
should be trying to starve it.

I mean, suck so much power
from its generator that it stalls it out.

Technically, we could do
that, but you'd have to draw

an insane amount of power.
The heat sink could never do it.

No, but another
space-time bridge could.

You want to open another
space-time bridge?

The device was rigged
to power a single bridge.

We open another one...

And it overwhelms
the system and it fails.

It'll work.

Yeah, but do you have any idea

how difficult it's going to
be to configure the system

to open two concurrent
space-time Bridges?

I never said it was
going to be easy.

Well, it's going
to be impossible.

Hey, I'm Dr. Rodney McKay,
all right?

Difficult takes a few seconds,

impossible, a few minutes.

(Breathing heavily)
Rodney, can you hear me?

Have they got you
out of there yet?

Tunney, what's the deal?
I thought you sent security.

They can't get to her.

What? Why not?

That last round of
freeze lightning,

it sealed off
a lot of the corridors.

See, they're making their way to
her, but it's gonna take some time.

Keller: It's getting harder...

Harder to stay awake. I'm
going into hypothermic shock.

Jennifer, just hang
in there, all right?

All right, we're here, right?

Well, so we can get to her.
It's a straight shot.

They should have come
this way, through the lab.

They're cut off from us, too.
Okay, I've got to go get her.

No, wait a minute. We're
a little bit busy right now.

She'll die.
Yeah, but you know what?

If the storm keeps up like this,

it's going to rip the
building apart, we'll all die!

Last time I checked, you
were claiming to be a genius.

Iaueady gave you the
plan. A plan full of holes.

So fill them!

What if I run into a problem?

Work around it!

You're smarter than me.

I know.

McKay!

Oh!

This is outrageous!

I mean, right when we need
him the most, he puts it on me,

and I'm supposed to be
the one who's gonna just...

(Screams)

Man up.

Jennifer!

Okay, I think that's it. Before
I run it, just check my math.

I have been! Why do you
think I'm standing here?

Jennifer!

Okay, come on, come on.

Do it!

You're not breathing. Oh,
my god, you're not breathing.

Please don't be dead.
Please don't be dead.

Come back to me, please.

Please come back to me.

(Bridge powering down)

It worked!

The second space-time
bridge blew the power supply.

Both Bridges collapsed.

I did it!

Please...

(Coughing)

(Gasping)

Thank god. You're
okay. You're okay.

I'm really cold.

Me, too.

You saved me.

I guess that makes us even.

I used an ax, a big ax.

I mean, I really wish
you were conscious,

'cause I think it's the coolest
thing I've ever done in my...

I don't know what I would
have done if I lost you.

I love you.

I have for some time now.

I just wanted you to know.

Well, at least your friends don't
think you're a washout anymore.

Stupid bill nye is telling
everyone who will listen

that tunney's the guy
who turned the device off.

Because he was the one
that shut off the device.

With my coding, it was my idea.

Rodney, does it really matter?

Yes. Yes, it does.

I'm sorry. I know I'm
supposed to be humble,

I know I'm not supposed to care,

but I do, I really do.
And that's...

Well, that's something
you should know about me.

Well, quit, then.
Join the private sector.

Start doing work
the whole world can see.

I've been thinking about it.

What? No, you haven't.

Hey, my contract with
the sgc is up this year.

Maybe it's time
for me to move on,

time for me to do other things.

Please, I don't know anyone
who loves their job more than you.

So you think the military is going
to let them keep experimenting?

I think it's highly unlikely.

Besides, geoengineering
is a dumb pursuit anyway.

I mean, no one person's
going to solve global warming.

We all have to do our part.

Like not take private jets.

Well, they were
going our way anyway.

You know, it's kind of nice,
just me and you back here.

Right.

Right!

You were legally dead a few hours
ago. You were practically frozen.

You really want to...

Well, it's either that
or you keep telling me

how you, and only
you, saved the day.

Nah.

I'm trying this whole
humble thing out.

Seems to be quite
a hit with the ladies.
