1
00:00:05,727 --> 00:00:07,683
McKAY:
She used to leave the lights on.
2
00:00:07,847 --> 00:00:10,839
All over the house. Every room.
3
00:00:11,007 --> 00:00:12,281
It drove my father nuts.
4
00:00:13,607 --> 00:00:16,724
For me, it was my brother,
only we had no lights.
5
00:00:16,887 --> 00:00:18,878
He used to leave
candles burning everywhere.
6
00:00:19,047 --> 00:00:20,082
Well, you know what?
7
00:00:20,247 --> 00:00:23,239
No one wants to hear stories
about how poor you were as a child.
8
00:00:23,407 --> 00:00:25,796
We feel as sorry for you
as is humanly possible.
9
00:00:25,967 --> 00:00:27,798
Yeah. He burned the house down,
you know.
10
00:00:27,967 --> 00:00:29,844
McKAY:
My sister was afraid of the dark...
11
00:00:30,007 --> 00:00:32,077
...used to blame me
for leaving the lights on.
12
00:00:32,247 --> 00:00:35,364
Of course, my father believed her.
He never sided with me.
13
00:00:35,527 --> 00:00:38,439
We had to live in a tent
in the dead of winter for three months.
14
00:00:38,607 --> 00:00:40,757
At least my stories relate
to what we’re doing.
15
00:00:40,927 --> 00:00:41,996
Well, so do mine.
16
00:00:42,167 --> 00:00:43,759
We’re trekking all over the city...
17
00:00:43,927 --> 00:00:47,363
...shutting everything the Ancients
activated while they were in control...
18
00:00:47,527 --> 00:00:50,997
...so that we can stop the power from
draining from our one precious ZPM.
19
00:00:51,167 --> 00:00:54,000
- How does that relate to your brother?
- If we don’t succeed-
20
00:00:54,167 --> 00:00:56,965
We’re not gonna have to live in a tent
in the dead of winter.
21
00:00:57,127 --> 00:00:58,879
It’s a metaphor.
22
00:00:59,047 --> 00:01:01,800
- Dr. McKay.
- Mmm. Thank God.
23
00:01:01,967 --> 00:01:05,926
- The control panel. It’s completely shot.
- Really? You think so?
24
00:01:06,087 --> 00:01:08,681
I don’t get these Ancients.
They’re supposed to be smart.
25
00:01:08,847 --> 00:01:12,078
But why activate something that
you don’t need and you’re not using?
26
00:01:12,247 --> 00:01:13,965
Maybe they didn’t have time before...
27
00:01:14,127 --> 00:01:16,561
...the Replicators
that you reprogrammed attacked.
28
00:01:16,727 --> 00:01:19,241
Yes, yes, we all know what happened.
29
00:01:21,127 --> 00:01:23,277
Ah. Voilà.
30
00:01:23,447 --> 00:01:26,837
You’re angry you couldn’t figure out
how to override the protocols...
31
00:01:27,007 --> 00:01:29,521
...that kept us from shutting
this place down remotely.
32
00:01:29,687 --> 00:01:30,836
McKAY: Neither could you.
- Yes.
33
00:01:31,007 --> 00:01:33,282
But I didn’t bet
a month’s pay that I could do it.
34
00:01:33,447 --> 00:01:35,085
Okay, you know what? Look around...
35
00:01:35,247 --> 00:01:38,205
...see if you could figure out
how to turn this place off.
36
00:01:38,367 --> 00:01:40,642
Hey, are you sure
you should be going up there?
37
00:01:40,807 --> 00:01:43,275
How else am I gonna find out
what this room does, huh?
38
00:01:43,447 --> 00:01:44,926
God forbid there should be anything...
39
00:01:45,087 --> 00:01:47,840
- ... in the Ancient database.
- There probably is, we just don’t have-
40
00:01:48,007 --> 00:01:48,996
Oh, here we go.
41
00:01:50,847 --> 00:01:53,680
- Okay, there should be a switch.
- What do you think I’m doing?
42
00:01:53,847 --> 00:01:55,200
All right.
43
00:01:56,007 --> 00:01:57,884
All right, double or nothing.
44
00:01:58,047 --> 00:01:59,241
- Oh, you’re on.
- All right.
45
00:01:59,407 --> 00:02:01,398
All right, it’s gotta be
around here somewhere.

Rodney, what happened?
48
00:02:20,687 --> 00:02:22,200
I’m not sure.
49
00:02:22,887 --> 00:02:25,162
I think I just lost.
50
00:02:25,447 --> 00:02:27,085
Big time.
51
00:03:28,887 --> 00:03:30,240
As far as I can tell, he’s fine.
52
00:03:30,407 --> 00:03:33,683
I was hit by a mysterious energy pulse.
How can that possibly be fine?
53
00:03:33,847 --> 00:03:37,078
I’ve run every test I can.
Blood work, MRIs, x-rays...
54
00:03:37,247 --> 00:03:39,556
...the lot. I’ve found no
anomalies in the results.
55
00:03:39,727 --> 00:03:43,322
Once more, mysterious energy pulse.
From a device created by the Ancients?
56
00:03:43,487 --> 00:03:45,443
Who knows what I could be in for.
57
00:03:45,647 --> 00:03:48,366
I mean, there’s gross mutation,
giantism, invisibility?
58
00:03:48,527 --> 00:03:50,643
That would be cool.
I turned into a bug.
59
00:03:51,087 --> 00:03:53,920
Like I said, as far as I can tell,
he’s as healthy as a horse.
60
00:03:54,087 --> 00:03:56,396
- I’m clearing you for active duty.
- Are you insane?
61
00:03:56,567 --> 00:03:59,127
I need to be under guard.
Who knows what I could become.
62
00:03:59,287 --> 00:04:01,005
Could it make him more pleasant?
63
00:04:01,207 --> 00:04:03,004
- Thank you.
I’Il keep an eye on him.
64
00:04:03,207 --> 00:04:04,959
Thank you.
65
00:04:06,047 --> 00:04:07,560
Can you still see me?
66
00:04:09,047 --> 00:04:11,845
- What are you saying?
- Well, that you were showing off.
67
00:04:13,167 --> 00:04:15,840
Normally,
if Dr. Esposito weren’t around...
68
00:04:16,007 --> 00:04:17,963
...I doubt
you would have been reckless.
69
00:04:18,127 --> 00:04:19,196
McKAY:
Are you insane?
70
00:04:19,367 --> 00:04:22,564
- Which one’s Esposito?
- Oh, the long, dark hair.
71
00:04:22,727 --> 00:04:26,117
- Right, the one with the perfect little-
- We’re trying to work here.
72
00:04:26,527 --> 00:04:30,042
- For the record, I was gonna say » smile. »
- Sure you were. What have you got?
73
00:04:30,247 --> 00:04:31,316
Nothing.
74
00:04:31,487 --> 00:04:34,206
What you did fried the power
conduits leading into the room.
75
00:04:34,367 --> 00:04:35,561
Whatever I did?
76
00:04:35,767 --> 00:04:38,998
Look, up until very recently,
this lab was entirely underwater...
77
00:04:39,207 --> 00:04:41,641
...possibly for 10,000 years.
How is that my fault?
78
00:04:41,847 --> 00:04:45,840
- Well, that part of it isn’t.
- Okay, that’s it. I’m going for lunch.
79
00:04:46,607 --> 00:04:49,280
How’s he doing?
Same old Rodney.
80
00:04:49,447 --> 00:04:52,678
You’re sure?
He looks a couple pounds heavier to me.
81
00:04:52,847 --> 00:04:53,836
Ronon.
82
00:04:54,007 --> 00:04:56,043
What? He eats all the time.
83
00:04:56,207 --> 00:04:57,959
It’s not like he exercises.
84
00:04:58,127 --> 00:05:00,004
He’s feeding his unhappiness.
85
00:05:00,167 --> 00:05:03,045
Hello. I’m right here. I can-
86
00:05:07,007 --> 00:05:08,725
I can hear you.
87
00:05:09,007 --> 00:05:10,326
Huh.
88
00:05:13,847 --> 00:05:17,396
For your information, I’m exactly the
same weight I’ve been since I got here.
89
00:05:17,567 --> 00:05:20,206
I need to eat regularly,
otherwise I become hypoglycemic.
90
00:05:20,367 --> 00:05:22,164
And I am generally
a very happy person.
91
00:05:22,327 --> 00:05:24,557
Colonel Sheppard,
have your team report...
92
00:05:24,727 --> 00:05:27,764
...to the control room immediately.
Colonel Sheppard.
93
00:05:32,807 --> 00:05:36,766
We received this transmission six
minutes ago from Major Lorne’s team.
94
00:05:36,927 --> 00:05:39,361
Atlantis base,
repeat, we are under attack...
95
00:05:39,527 --> 00:05:40,676
...and cut off from the gate.
96
00:05:40,847 --> 00:05:45,204
I counted at least 20, maybe more.
Request backup immediately.
97
00:05:45,367 --> 00:05:48,279
- Where are they?
- M72-656.
98
00:05:48,447 --> 00:05:51,245
Have a team of marines meet us
in the Jumper Bay.
99
00:06:07,287 --> 00:06:08,766
Dr. Weir.
100
00:06:08,967 --> 00:06:12,562
- Any word?
- Not yet. It has only been an hour.
101
00:06:12,727 --> 00:06:15,195
- You wanted to see me?
- Yes. I could use your help.
102
00:06:15,367 --> 00:06:18,677
I managed to get power to the console
to access the lab’s research logs.
103
00:06:18,887 --> 00:06:19,922
Well, that’s good news.
104
00:06:20,087 --> 00:06:22,521
Well, I’m not so sure.
I could use a second opinion.
105
00:06:28,407 --> 00:06:33,322
It seems much of this refers to different
elements of human physiology.
106
00:06:36,727 --> 00:06:39,639
It mentions
the mutation of base genetic coding?
107
00:06:40,087 --> 00:06:41,406
I realize Dr. Beckett said...
108
00:06:41,567 --> 00:06:45,765
...that there were no evident effects
from Rodney’s exposure to the device.
109
00:06:45,927 --> 00:06:49,363
- It seems-
- It’s meant to manipulate human DNA.
110
00:06:50,407 --> 00:06:52,125
Dr. Weir to the Jumper Bay.
111
00:06:52,287 --> 00:06:54,198
The rescue team has returned.
112
00:06:54,447 --> 00:06:55,960
Let’s go.
113
00:06:57,847 --> 00:07:00,361
McKAY: What else could it be?
- You’re losing your mind.
114
00:07:00,527 --> 00:07:02,722
I’m telling you,
it’s a bit of a coincidence.
115
00:07:02,887 --> 00:07:03,922
Well, then prove it.
116
00:07:04,207 --> 00:07:05,196
Colonel?
117
00:07:05,607 --> 00:07:08,963
- Everyone’s present and accounted for.
- How bad is it and who’s been hit?
118
00:07:09,127 --> 00:07:12,039
No one, doc. We’re all fine.
Thanks to McKay.
119
00:07:12,207 --> 00:07:14,846
- So he says.
- Rodney?
120
00:07:16,487 --> 00:07:19,524
To be honest, I’m not sure.
I wasn’t even sure it was me at first.
121
00:07:19,687 --> 00:07:21,598
But the correlation’s impossible
to ignore.
122
00:07:21,767 --> 00:07:25,237
I saw Lorne’s team pinned down,
the bad guys closing in. I just thought...
123
00:07:25,407 --> 00:07:29,320
...you know, wouldn’t it be great if all of
their weapons jammed at the same time?
124
00:07:32,607 --> 00:07:34,996
The next thing I know,
they’re all running away, so-
125
00:07:35,167 --> 00:07:38,125
So you think because you wanted
it to happen, it just did?
126
00:07:38,487 --> 00:07:40,239
It was a little more than that.
127
00:07:41,887 --> 00:07:45,402
Okay, you know what?
Watch this. I’Il...
128
00:07:45,767 --> 00:07:47,359
Ah! Rodney.
129
00:07:50,487 --> 00:07:52,557
- Rodney.
- I find this as disturbing as you do.
130
00:07:52,727 --> 00:07:55,036
Like bloody hell you do.
131
00:07:56,247 --> 00:07:57,919
Put him down.
132
00:08:00,727 --> 00:08:01,762
Oh, God.
133
00:08:03,807 --> 00:08:07,038
Have there been any other instances
of this power manifesting itself?
134
00:08:07,207 --> 00:08:08,879
Powers. Plural.
135
00:08:09,047 --> 00:08:12,278
- What can you do besides telekinesis?
- Well, super-hearing for one.
136
00:08:12,447 --> 00:08:14,836
I’m not sure,
but I may actually be getting smarter.
137
00:08:15,047 --> 00:08:17,436
It’s hard to say
because I was smart to start with.
138
00:08:17,607 --> 00:08:20,519
I’ve been having ideas that
I don’t think I would’ve thought of.
139
00:08:20,727 --> 00:08:22,843
Does super-ego count as a power?
140
00:08:23,047 --> 00:08:25,277
Oh, finally. Look, keep it coming.
141
00:08:25,447 --> 00:08:27,677
We could also be dealing
with a super-appetite.
142
00:08:27,847 --> 00:08:29,678
It’s hard to tell
because he ate so much.
143
00:08:29,847 --> 00:08:32,202
- That’s very funny.
- My God, he’s eating again?
144
00:08:32,367 --> 00:08:33,641
I have a very active metabolism.
145
00:08:33,807 --> 00:08:35,081
Aye, among other things.
146
00:08:35,247 --> 00:08:37,636
The scans show an increase
in synaptic interaction...
147
00:08:37,807 --> 00:08:39,684
...throughout the sections
of his brain.
148
00:08:40,127 --> 00:08:42,766
Much higher than
normal human levels.
149
00:08:42,927 --> 00:08:45,919
There was an incident at SGC
just over a year ago.
150
00:08:46,087 --> 00:08:49,875
I recall that file.
I studied the data. Fascinating.
151
00:08:50,087 --> 00:08:52,043
SG-1 discovered
an evolved human in stasis.
152
00:08:52,247 --> 00:08:56,206
He was the result of experimentation
by a Goa’uld named Anubis.
153
00:08:56,367 --> 00:09:00,076
He was trying to create
a means of artificially accelerating...
154
00:09:00,247 --> 00:09:02,841
...the human physiology
to the point of Ascension.
155
00:09:03,047 --> 00:09:05,436
That device I found
must have been an accelerator.
156
00:09:05,607 --> 00:09:07,962
The Ancients developed powers
as they evolved.
157
00:09:08,167 --> 00:09:10,761
McKAY: It’s just bad luck
we didn’t run into that lab earlier.
158
00:09:11,087 --> 00:09:14,557
Seriously. Me, a superhero.
Who would have thought it?
159
00:09:22,367 --> 00:09:24,927
Look, we all agree
the Ancients were pretty screwed up.
160
00:09:25,087 --> 00:09:26,361
We do?
161
00:09:26,527 --> 00:09:30,042
Well, the ones I met were arrogant and
condescending and not for good reason.
162
00:09:30,207 --> 00:09:32,721
They made giant mistakes
and never fixed them.
163
00:09:32,887 --> 00:09:35,845
- They were still human.
- Then there were all those crazy rules.
164
00:09:36,007 --> 00:09:39,522
- Those only came after they Ascended.
- Whatever.
165
00:09:39,687 --> 00:09:42,440
Maybe this thing doesn’t work
on everyone. Who knows?
166
00:09:42,607 --> 00:09:46,316
- But we do know it works on McKay.
- It has only been a day.
167
00:09:46,527 --> 00:09:48,961
Assuming it’s safe.
To be honest, even if it’s not.
168
00:09:49,127 --> 00:09:51,595
If we get an advantage
over Wraiths and Replicators-
169
00:09:51,767 --> 00:09:54,156
John, I agree, this device
may have great potential.
170
00:09:54,327 --> 00:09:56,557
With great potential
comes great responsibility.
171
00:09:56,767 --> 00:09:58,883
Like other things
we have found in this city...
172
00:09:59,047 --> 00:10:01,117
...it is a very advanced
piece of technology.
173
00:10:01,287 --> 00:10:03,278
For all we know,
it could be very dangerous.
174
00:10:03,447 --> 00:10:05,881
- I’m just saying-
- Yes, you can be next.
175
00:10:06,047 --> 00:10:07,480
- Thank you.
- Hmm.
176
00:10:10,047 --> 00:10:12,436
If you’re compiling a list, I’d-
177
00:10:12,607 --> 00:10:15,963
- Could we stay focused, please?
- Aye.
178
00:10:19,207 --> 00:10:21,596
Come on, you can’t keep me
cooped up in here forever.
179
00:10:21,767 --> 00:10:24,998
You might not be sick but what’s
happening here is far from normal.
180
00:10:25,167 --> 00:10:28,364
Exactly. So let me go out and start
using my powers to do some good.
181
00:10:28,527 --> 00:10:30,279
Ooh. Are you going to finish that?
182
00:10:31,887 --> 00:10:33,036
I’m serious.
183
00:10:33,647 --> 00:10:36,161
We have no idea of the extent
of your genetic mutation.
184
00:10:36,327 --> 00:10:39,763
Mutation has negative connotations.
Advancement is more like it.
185
00:10:39,927 --> 00:10:43,283
- Until we know what’s going on here-
- Carson, I’m still me.
186
00:10:43,447 --> 00:10:46,883
Anyway, it’s not like you or these guys
could stop me from leaving anyways.
187
00:10:47,047 --> 00:10:48,878
No, but I could.
188
00:10:49,727 --> 00:10:51,558
Oh, you care to put that to a test?
189
00:10:52,927 --> 00:10:56,237
- Do you?
- Well, no, not really.
190
00:10:56,407 --> 00:10:59,365
Anyways, as I said, you’re fine
to go about your daily duties...
191
00:10:59,527 --> 00:11:01,404
...as long as you have
someone with you.
192
00:11:01,567 --> 00:11:05,401
Check in every couple of hours.
Yes, yes. Bye-bye.
193
00:11:06,927 --> 00:11:09,122
- Uh-
- You know, we could be a team.
194
00:11:09,287 --> 00:11:10,925
- You could be my sidekick.
- Sidekick?
195
00:11:11,087 --> 00:11:13,396
It’d be Batman and Ronon.
Has a nice ring to it.
196
00:11:13,567 --> 00:11:15,797
Keep eating
and it’s gonna be more like Fatman.
197
00:11:16,007 --> 00:11:17,156
McKAY:
I’m warning you.
198
00:11:17,327 --> 00:11:21,161
You’Il be bored out of your mind,
unless you find advanced physics to be-
199
00:11:21,327 --> 00:11:23,204
- Really?
- What?
200
00:11:23,407 --> 00:11:25,238
What, you think so? Heh.
201
00:11:25,407 --> 00:11:26,635
Hey, she thinks I’m hot.
202
00:11:27,967 --> 00:11:28,956
I didn’t say anything.
203
00:11:29,127 --> 00:11:30,480
McKAY:
No, no, I was sure that you-
204
00:11:30,687 --> 00:11:32,405
Of course. No, I should have known.
205
00:11:32,567 --> 00:11:33,966
She meant you.
206
00:11:34,127 --> 00:11:36,402
I don’t know
what you’re talking about.
207
00:11:38,287 --> 00:11:40,005
McKay, she didn’t say a word.
208
00:11:41,407 --> 00:11:43,841
Oh, my God, I can read minds.
209
00:11:44,487 --> 00:11:47,524
Oh. This is cool.
210
00:11:48,127 --> 00:11:49,196
No, it isn’t.
211
00:11:53,847 --> 00:11:55,997
Oh, I’m fine. No, yes, and it doesn’t.
212
00:11:56,207 --> 00:11:58,084
- What?
- I can read your mind. Everyone’s.
213
00:11:58,247 --> 00:12:00,238
It was cool
for the first 10 seconds there.
214
00:12:00,407 --> 00:12:03,763
I’m finding it disturbing, so I’m
trying to tune it out as much as I can.
215
00:12:03,927 --> 00:12:07,636
Well, sort of. I wanted to get your
permission to access the control chair.
216
00:12:07,847 --> 00:12:12,284
I’ve got ideas for maximizing ZPM by
reconfiguring the city’s power systems.
217
00:12:12,487 --> 00:12:14,557
It’s complicated to explain,
but trust me...
218
00:12:14,727 --> 00:12:16,763
...you are gonna be
happy with the results.
219
00:12:17,047 --> 00:12:19,766
Élizabeth, I know.
You have every right not to trust me...
220
00:12:19,927 --> 00:12:22,760
...but I promise you. I’m gonna make
things much better. Okay?
221
00:12:22,927 --> 00:12:25,043
Good. She wants you to shoot me
if you think...
222
00:12:25,207 --> 00:12:28,244
...that I might be trying to take over
the city for evil purposes.
223
00:12:28,447 --> 00:12:32,440
I’m kidding. That was a joke. That’s-
Is your weapon set to stun?
224
00:12:32,647 --> 00:12:33,636
Wait, never mind.
225
00:12:34,967 --> 00:12:37,117
There. Did it myself.
To the chair room. Ronon.
226
00:12:38,607 --> 00:12:41,167
- Can I shoot him now?
- I can hear you.
227
00:12:41,327 --> 00:12:43,158
She wants you
to keep a close eye on me.
228
00:12:43,327 --> 00:12:45,682
Come on, let’s go. Chop, chop.
Much to do.
229
00:12:45,847 --> 00:12:49,396
I will send a science team
down to supervise.
230
00:13:06,887 --> 00:13:09,401
- What the hell is he doing?
- Don’t ask me.
231
00:13:10,287 --> 00:13:11,481
Actually, I wasn’t.
232
00:13:12,487 --> 00:13:13,602
I have no idea.
233
00:13:14,847 --> 00:13:17,122
Rodney, you are affecting power
all over the city.
234
00:13:17,287 --> 00:13:19,847
I know. Awesome, isn’t it?
235
00:13:20,007 --> 00:13:23,363
- No. I can’t work.
- It’s just temporary.
236
00:13:23,527 --> 00:13:27,156
I’m trying to determine if that device
did any permanent damage to you.
237
00:13:27,327 --> 00:13:30,000
Quite frankly, given
your usually rampant hypochondria...
238
00:13:30,167 --> 00:13:32,806
- ... I’m surprised you don’t seem to care.
- You’re jealous.
239
00:13:33,007 --> 00:13:34,326
That is ridiculous.
240
00:13:34,487 --> 00:13:37,604
You should be working with me
trying to figure out what’s happening.
241
00:13:37,767 --> 00:13:39,837
Instead, you’re burying your head
in the sand.
242
00:13:40,007 --> 00:13:41,042
That is not true.
243
00:13:41,207 --> 00:13:44,119
My head, which happens to be housing
my ever evolving brain...
244
00:13:44,287 --> 00:13:46,926
...is being better utilized here
doing important things...
245
00:13:47,087 --> 00:13:49,237
...that will affect everybody.
246
00:13:55,087 --> 00:13:59,603
He tries to hide it, but deep down,
I’m the wind beneath his wings.
247
00:14:02,007 --> 00:14:03,759
Well, how’s it coming?
248
00:14:03,927 --> 00:14:06,282
Actually, I think I’m just getting
to the good bit.
249
00:14:06,447 --> 00:14:10,122
Don’t you hate it when people interrupt
right when things are getting good?
250
00:14:13,567 --> 00:14:17,003
I know McKay
is some super-genius now...
251
00:14:17,167 --> 00:14:20,284
...but I find the flickering lights
incredibly unnerving.
252
00:14:20,447 --> 00:14:23,996
Dr. Coleman has,
however reluctantly, admitted...
253
00:14:24,167 --> 00:14:27,443
...it does seem as if Rodney’s
improving the city’s power system.
254
00:14:27,607 --> 00:14:29,006
Whatever.
255
00:14:29,167 --> 00:14:31,044
Anyway, you were saying?
256
00:14:32,407 --> 00:14:36,320
Well, we know the Ancients evolved
physiologically to a certain point...
257
00:14:36,487 --> 00:14:39,445
...where they could transform
into a state of pure energy.
258
00:14:39,647 --> 00:14:41,205
Ancient History 101.
259
00:14:41,367 --> 00:14:44,439
Yes, we also know that not all of them
managed to get there.
260
00:14:45,287 --> 00:14:47,482
Are you saying some
needed a kick in the pants?
261
00:14:47,687 --> 00:14:49,405
So to speak.
262
00:14:49,967 --> 00:14:53,403
This machine was not meant to help
them fight the war against the Wraith...
263
00:14:53,567 --> 00:14:55,523
...but rather to help them escape it.
264
00:14:57,407 --> 00:14:58,556
An Ascension machine?
265
00:14:58,727 --> 00:15:01,400
Like the one the Goa’uld
tried to create in the Milky Way.
266
00:15:03,367 --> 00:15:05,676
Are you saying
McKay’s going to Ascend?
267
00:15:06,887 --> 00:15:10,402
Well, there’s a whole lot more to
Ascension than being physically evolved.
268
00:15:10,607 --> 00:15:14,646
Believe me, after spending six months
with a bunch of pansy wannabes, I know.
269
00:15:14,807 --> 00:15:19,358
- What does this mean for McKay?
- Like I said, just getting to the good bit.
270
00:15:20,607 --> 00:15:22,518
Then I’Il leave you to it.
271
00:15:24,207 --> 00:15:25,196
John, wait.
272
00:15:26,847 --> 00:15:29,202
We need to talk to Rodney right away.
273
00:15:34,607 --> 00:15:38,361
You can all relax.
I’Il have us back online in two minutes.
274
00:15:38,527 --> 00:15:40,563
We need to talk to you.
275
00:15:40,927 --> 00:15:42,997
What do you mean I’m gonna die?
276
00:15:43,647 --> 00:15:45,478
I’m not sick. I feel great.
Never better.
277
00:15:45,687 --> 00:15:49,475
- That Ancient device-
- Has accelerated my evolution.
278
00:15:49,647 --> 00:15:52,036
I’Il reach a point
where I’m capable of Ascension...
279
00:15:52,207 --> 00:15:55,244
...but Ascension takes more than that.
There’s a mental component.
280
00:15:55,447 --> 00:15:59,998
I need to know how to make it happen
which I don’t yet.
281
00:16:00,807 --> 00:16:01,842
I’m getting smarter.
282
00:16:02,047 --> 00:16:05,722
It’s a good assumption I’Il be able to
figure it out. It’s not as easy at that.
283
00:16:05,887 --> 00:16:08,447
Well, even if I don’t
so I stay a highly evolved human.
284
00:16:08,607 --> 00:16:10,882
I don’t have to Ascend.
It’s a choice, right?
285
00:16:11,087 --> 00:16:12,884
McKAY:
No? What do you mean, no?
286
00:16:13,087 --> 00:16:15,760
That stupid Ancient device
doesn’t work properly, does it?
287
00:16:16,367 --> 00:16:21,157
It’s set in motion a series of mutations
that’Il result in death if I don’t Ascend?
288
00:16:21,367 --> 00:16:23,278
There is something easier about this.
289
00:16:23,447 --> 00:16:24,960
McKAY:
The Ancients didn’t put it into use.
290
00:16:25,727 --> 00:16:30,243
It’s just one more in long line
of abysmal over-ambitious failures.
291
00:16:30,407 --> 00:16:32,762
Oh, God. I’m a dead man.
292
00:16:32,967 --> 00:16:34,639
- Dr. McKay.
- Yes. Yes, I just-
293
00:16:34,807 --> 00:16:38,766
It’s because I stopped in the middle.
I will fix it. Just give me a second here.
294
00:16:43,567 --> 00:16:44,761
That’s it.
295
00:16:47,487 --> 00:16:50,081
There’s time left.
There’s a way to reverse the process.
296
00:16:50,247 --> 00:16:52,078
Where’s Zelenka?
What has he been doing?
297
00:16:52,287 --> 00:16:53,800
We have massive power surges.
298
00:16:53,967 --> 00:16:57,118
- Shutdown protocols are not responding.
- Damn it.
299
00:17:11,887 --> 00:17:15,323
Come on, Radek. Come on.
He’s not breathing. We need to intubate.
300
00:17:15,527 --> 00:17:17,358
Start an IV, wide open.
301
00:17:17,567 --> 00:17:19,637
Get that monitor set up.
302
00:17:20,607 --> 00:17:23,758
Right, on my count. One, two, three.
303
00:17:25,487 --> 00:17:26,476
Radek.
304
00:17:26,647 --> 00:17:28,239
Get the leads hooked up, please.
305
00:17:28,847 --> 00:17:30,280
He’s in V-tach, prepare to defib.
306
00:17:32,247 --> 00:17:33,475
- Clear.
- Move.
307
00:17:33,647 --> 00:17:34,921
Rodney, the man is dying.
308
00:17:35,087 --> 00:17:37,362
No. Just give me a second. I know.
309
00:18:00,527 --> 00:18:02,085
Heart rate’s good.
310
00:18:02,887 --> 00:18:04,878
Breathing’s steady.
311
00:18:06,447 --> 00:18:08,039
Pulse is good.
312
00:18:12,927 --> 00:18:15,157
Radek, are you okay?
313
00:18:17,007 --> 00:18:18,156
What happened?
314
00:18:34,287 --> 00:18:37,006
Rodney.
- Hold on.
315
00:18:38,447 --> 00:18:39,596
I see you’ve been busy.
316
00:18:41,247 --> 00:18:42,999
I invented a new math.
317
00:18:43,167 --> 00:18:44,156
Really?
318
00:18:44,327 --> 00:18:47,319
It’s gonna change the human
understanding of the universe.
319
00:18:47,487 --> 00:18:49,364
How is Zelenka?
320
00:18:49,527 --> 00:18:51,358
Uh- You need to ask?
321
00:18:51,527 --> 00:18:53,245
I’m blocking out people’s thoughts.
322
00:18:53,407 --> 00:18:57,036
It was becoming too overwhelming.
I was- I wasn’t able to think.
323
00:18:57,807 --> 00:18:58,796
Rodney.
324
00:18:58,967 --> 00:19:00,559
I know what you’re gonna say.
325
00:19:00,727 --> 00:19:02,683
Oh, no. Just intuition, I swear.
326
00:19:03,207 --> 00:19:04,242
I just-
327
00:19:04,407 --> 00:19:08,002
I tried to fix the Ancient device, but
it wasn’t meant to reverse the process.
328
00:19:08,167 --> 00:19:11,239
Once the mutation has started,
it cannot be stopped.
329
00:19:11,607 --> 00:19:13,518
Actually...
330
00:19:15,567 --> 00:19:20,846
...I was gonna say, if you want any help
in understanding Ascension...
331
00:19:21,767 --> 00:19:23,997
Oh. Uh...
332
00:19:24,207 --> 00:19:26,767
I’ve already re-read everything I could
in the database.
333
00:19:26,967 --> 00:19:29,845
Yeah, it’s not exactly
a clear-cut set of instructions, is it?
334
00:19:30,007 --> 00:19:33,363
No, and to be honest, I’ve never been
big on the whole idea of Ascending.
335
00:19:33,567 --> 00:19:35,603
There’s too many rules. You know, I-
336
00:19:35,767 --> 00:19:40,557
To me, life is about working towards
achievement. Discovering things-
337
00:19:40,727 --> 00:19:43,639
- Getting credit for it.
- Once you know it all, what do you do?
338
00:19:43,807 --> 00:19:47,686
I don’t know. I don’t think that
Ascension necessarily means the end.
339
00:19:47,887 --> 00:19:50,481
Yeah, see, never been big
on leaps of faith either.
340
00:19:50,647 --> 00:19:53,480
There was a part of me that knew
this was too good to be true.
341
00:19:53,647 --> 00:19:57,925
Nothing this great could ever happen
to me without really bad consequences.
342
00:19:59,127 --> 00:20:03,040
Anyway, I have come to terms with that.
I just wanna get as much done...
343
00:20:03,207 --> 00:20:06,756
...and not waste my time on
mumbo jumbo I’m not gonna understand.
344
00:20:07,407 --> 00:20:11,844
Oh, I’ve come up with a way for
increasing the Daedalus’ shield power.
345
00:20:12,007 --> 00:20:15,682
Tell Hermiod to give me a call if he
needs help understanding the base code.
346
00:20:15,847 --> 00:20:17,565
I’m sure Colonel Caldwell
will be thrilled.
347
00:20:20,927 --> 00:20:24,476
Look, Rodney,
I’m not gonna try to convince you...
348
00:20:24,647 --> 00:20:28,606
...that Ascension is right for you
or even possible for that matter.
349
00:20:28,767 --> 00:20:32,601
But I wonder
if you have considered the fact that...
350
00:20:32,767 --> 00:20:34,678
...if you did somehow
manage to Ascend...
351
00:20:34,847 --> 00:20:39,159
...you can always
theoretically retake human form.
352
00:20:41,487 --> 00:20:43,239
Why didn’t I think of that?
353
00:20:43,487 --> 00:20:45,796
I don’t think it’s gonna work.
- Had this shipped.
354
00:20:45,967 --> 00:20:48,879
The Ancient device used
to measure a person’s synaptic activity.
355
00:20:49,047 --> 00:20:53,040
More than that, the brain’s evolutionary
level. It’s basically an Ascendometer.
356
00:20:53,207 --> 00:20:55,118
I don’t think
we’re going about this right.
357
00:20:55,287 --> 00:20:58,518
If you’re a highly evolved super-genius,
put up your hand.
358
00:20:58,727 --> 00:21:00,206
Oh.
359
00:21:00,407 --> 00:21:02,523
From everything I read
about the subject area-
360
00:21:02,727 --> 00:21:07,118
When you get down to it, even mental
states are actually only physical states.
361
00:21:07,287 --> 00:21:10,916
- The brain is a chemical supercomputer.
- I suppose an incredibly complex-
362
00:21:11,127 --> 00:21:12,958
« Yes » is all you need to say, my friend.
363
00:21:13,127 --> 00:21:17,086
Look, the universe may seem mystical
to those without understanding...
364
00:21:17,247 --> 00:21:20,603
...when, in truth, anything
and everything can be quantified.
365
00:21:20,767 --> 00:21:23,759
All that hocus-pocus stuff
is just a way of getting the brain...
366
00:21:23,927 --> 00:21:28,364
...into the proper electrochemical state
to allow the final physical evolution...
367
00:21:28,567 --> 00:21:32,082
...at which point, the matter that makes
up this body will turn into pure energy.
368
00:21:32,247 --> 00:21:38,038
Oh. What mere mortals would refer to
as the Mystery of Ascension...
369
00:21:38,247 --> 00:21:41,000
...is just a scientific process.
Just protons and electrons.
370
00:21:41,167 --> 00:21:42,919
- Protons and electrons.
- If you say so.
371
00:21:43,087 --> 00:21:44,998
Now, if you don’t mind, can we..?
372
00:21:47,487 --> 00:21:48,886
Ah.
373
00:21:50,087 --> 00:21:53,966
Now, based on what I’ve extrapolated
from the Ancient research...
374
00:21:54,167 --> 00:21:58,001
...I’ve set measurable parameters
for achieving the proper mental state.
375
00:21:58,167 --> 00:22:01,842
Once I reach 96 percent synaptic
connection as measured by this device...
376
00:22:02,007 --> 00:22:06,956
...all I need to do is maintain an E.E.G.
frequency of 0,1 to 0,9 hertz and presto.
377
00:22:08,287 --> 00:22:10,164
I rise to a higher plane of existence.
378
00:22:10,647 --> 00:22:14,686
Okay, let’s assume for one completely
insane moment that you are right.
379
00:22:15,087 --> 00:22:18,204
Those frequencies are associated
with near-comatose patients.
380
00:22:18,407 --> 00:22:21,843
No one who’s actually awake can will
themselves anywhere close to that...
381
00:22:22,007 --> 00:22:25,556
- ... no matter how relaxed they are.
- No unevolved person.
382
00:22:26,047 --> 00:22:28,561
- Give it a rest, Rodney.
- Just turn it on.
383
00:22:32,287 --> 00:22:34,755
Your synaptic activity is high,
over 60 percent.
384
00:22:34,927 --> 00:22:37,395
I don’t have much time left.
By my calculations...
385
00:22:37,567 --> 00:22:41,321
...when I reach 96 percent, I either
Ascend or die. Now, what’s my E.E. G?
386
00:22:41,527 --> 00:22:45,520
Twenty-nine hertz, which is average for
someone in a heightened wakeful state.
387
00:22:45,727 --> 00:22:49,356
Okay, so I just need
to clear my mind and relax.
388
00:22:51,727 --> 00:22:53,160
- What’s it at now?
- Thirty.
389
00:22:53,367 --> 00:22:55,597
What? You must have me
hooked up wrong.
390
00:22:55,807 --> 00:22:58,924
No, I didn’t, thank you very much.
We’re getting a clear reading.
391
00:22:59,127 --> 00:23:02,278
Rodney, the Ancients
that eventually learned to Ascend...
392
00:23:02,447 --> 00:23:05,245
...dedicated their entire lives
preparing for this moment.
393
00:23:05,407 --> 00:23:07,159
This will work.
I need some more time.
394
00:23:07,327 --> 00:23:11,036
Now stop talking so much.
You’re a ripple in my pond.
395
00:23:16,647 --> 00:23:20,481
I think he’s having a hard time accepting
this can’t be solved with science...
396
00:23:20,647 --> 00:23:22,763
...no matter how brilliant he is.
397
00:23:22,927 --> 00:23:24,645
Know what he needs?
398
00:23:25,047 --> 00:23:27,083
He needs to » release his burden. »
399
00:23:28,167 --> 00:23:30,237
Yeah, well, you know McKay.
400
00:23:31,127 --> 00:23:33,197
Maybe Dr. Heightmeyer can help.
401
00:23:33,567 --> 00:23:35,956
Actually, I was thinking more
along the lines of you.
402
00:23:36,407 --> 00:23:37,806
- Me?
- Mm-hm.
403
00:23:38,127 --> 00:23:41,324
You lived with the Ancients for
six months on the brink of Ascension.
404
00:23:41,487 --> 00:23:44,365
You helped them face their fears
and finally Ascend.
405
00:23:44,527 --> 00:23:46,802
I fought a scary monster.
That’s what I do best.
406
00:23:47,327 --> 00:23:50,842
And for Rodney, I’m sure this seems
like a pretty scary monster.
407
00:23:55,967 --> 00:23:58,527
I don’t think this is gonna work
with you hooked up.
408
00:23:58,687 --> 00:24:00,325
How am I gonna know if it’s working?
409
00:24:00,487 --> 00:24:03,797
You’re teaching me how to meditate.
Not exactly good odds to start with.
410
00:24:03,967 --> 00:24:05,958
I realize that.
411
00:24:06,127 --> 00:24:09,881
Truth is, I was never
really very good at this myself.
412
00:24:10,047 --> 00:24:12,845
- So why am I here?
- Élizabeth made me.
413
00:24:13,007 --> 00:24:16,966
- Oh, yeah? Me too.
- I was with Ancients for six months.
414
00:24:17,127 --> 00:24:19,846
Maybe I picked up something
that might be able to help you.
415
00:24:22,247 --> 00:24:26,206
First thing I think
you need to come to terms with is...
416
00:24:26,367 --> 00:24:27,880
...this is not a means to an end.
417
00:24:28,047 --> 00:24:31,084
- What? Well, of course it is.
- No, no, you can’t do that.
418
00:24:31,247 --> 00:24:34,956
You can’t think you’re gonna Ascend and
retake human form, and be done with it.
419
00:24:35,127 --> 00:24:37,357
That is exactly what I’m trying to do.
420
00:24:37,527 --> 00:24:41,281
Look, from what I understand,
dishonesty is not gonna help the process.
421
00:24:41,967 --> 00:24:44,527
- Good point.
- While we’re at it, my knees kill me.
422
00:24:44,687 --> 00:24:47,804
- How does anyone relax like this?
- Find a position that works.
423
00:24:48,447 --> 00:24:50,961
All right. Okay.
424
00:24:51,127 --> 00:24:52,526
Fine.
425
00:24:52,687 --> 00:24:54,120
Now...
426
00:24:54,287 --> 00:24:57,165
...I want you to become aware
of your breaths...
427
00:24:57,327 --> 00:25:00,080
...going in and out of your body.
428
00:25:00,287 --> 00:25:01,766
In...
429
00:25:01,927 --> 00:25:03,599
...and out.
430
00:25:03,807 --> 00:25:05,479
Do it without talking.
431
00:25:06,607 --> 00:25:08,404
Oh, right.
432
00:25:09,207 --> 00:25:10,435
Now...
433
00:25:10,927 --> 00:25:14,124
...I want you to think about the things
that you worry about the most.
434
00:25:14,327 --> 00:25:16,761
- You mean like death?
- There’s no talking.
435
00:25:18,167 --> 00:25:20,556
Think of anything
that makes you anxious.
436
00:25:21,087 --> 00:25:22,725
Oh, God, there’s so many things.
437
00:25:22,887 --> 00:25:24,605
Not talking
happens to be one of them.
438
00:25:24,807 --> 00:25:26,126
Deal with it.
439
00:25:27,487 --> 00:25:28,886
Now...
440
00:25:29,767 --> 00:25:32,520
...imagine yourself
sitting on a Ferris wheel.
441
00:25:32,687 --> 00:25:33,676
What?
442
00:25:33,847 --> 00:25:36,964
I didn’t pay much attention
to what the Ancients were teaching me.
443
00:25:37,487 --> 00:25:40,126
I liked Ferris wheels,
so that’s what I thought about.
444
00:25:40,327 --> 00:25:44,206
And the fact that the woman teaching
me how to meditate was...
445
00:25:44,367 --> 00:25:45,356
...very attractive.
446
00:25:45,567 --> 00:25:48,286
Why am I not surprised you didn’t
Ascend? Okay, look...
447
00:25:48,447 --> 00:25:51,086
...I’m a busy man, you’re a busy man,
we’re both busy men.
448
00:25:51,247 --> 00:25:54,364
Just relax, all right? I’m gonna try to
remember what the woman taught me.
449
00:25:56,047 --> 00:25:57,321
All right.
450
00:25:59,287 --> 00:26:00,436
Now...
451
00:26:00,887 --> 00:26:04,562
...there’s a dark storm
swirling around your head.
452
00:26:04,727 --> 00:26:07,195
- How’s that comforting?
- I’m getting there.
453
00:26:08,167 --> 00:26:10,806
I just thought of a brilliant adjunct
to the chaos theory.
454
00:26:11,007 --> 00:26:12,406
McKay.
455
00:26:13,247 --> 00:26:15,124
Letting it go, letting it go.
456
00:26:15,287 --> 00:26:19,917
Now, the sky is clearing.
All your troubles are fading away.
457
00:26:20,327 --> 00:26:22,795
Bright blue sky. I am there.
458
00:26:27,927 --> 00:26:29,804
- How am I doing?
- Don’t think that way.
459
00:26:30,007 --> 00:26:32,043
Forget it.
Look, this is never gonna work.
460
00:26:32,207 --> 00:26:34,516
- What’s wrong now?
- I realized why light behaves...
461
00:26:34,727 --> 00:26:36,160
...as both particles and waves.
462
00:26:36,327 --> 00:26:40,115
- Rodney, if you don’t try to do this-
- I know. I don’t have much time left.
463
00:26:48,767 --> 00:26:51,201
- Hey.
- Just a second.
464
00:27:01,447 --> 00:27:02,721
What are you doing?
465
00:27:02,927 --> 00:27:05,964
There are 50 simulations to run,
but the computers can’t keep up.
466
00:27:06,167 --> 00:27:09,398
I’ve figured out how to make them run
10 times faster...
467
00:27:09,567 --> 00:27:11,558
...but I haven’t had time
to stop and do it.
468
00:27:11,727 --> 00:27:15,322
Oh. I’ve uploaded the virtual prototype
for a hyperspace generator...
469
00:27:15,487 --> 00:27:17,557
...for the Puddle Jumpers
into the database.
470
00:27:17,727 --> 00:27:19,080
Well, that sounds great.
471
00:27:21,167 --> 00:27:24,443
Are you sure
that this is how you want to-
472
00:27:24,647 --> 00:27:28,162
Spend my last couple of days alive?
Don’t have much choice, do I?
473
00:27:28,367 --> 00:27:31,040
Rodney, I think it’s very decent
and noble of you...
474
00:27:31,207 --> 00:27:33,801
...to wanna leave
a scientific contribution behind...
475
00:27:33,967 --> 00:27:37,755
...but I still believe there’s a chance you
can Ascend if you put your mind to it.
476
00:27:37,927 --> 00:27:40,521
We both know that is a waste of time.
You could do it-
477
00:27:40,687 --> 00:27:43,963
I don’t know if I could but you are
certainly selling yourself short...
478
00:27:44,127 --> 00:27:45,958
...by not even trying.
479
00:27:46,167 --> 00:27:49,079
To be honest, I don’t have the first clue
where to start.
480
00:27:49,287 --> 00:27:51,084
- Stop thinking.
- I don’t understand.
481
00:27:51,247 --> 00:27:54,045
One of the biggest things
that holds people back is...
482
00:27:54,207 --> 00:27:56,846
...that somewhere, deep down...
483
00:27:57,007 --> 00:27:58,998
...they believe they’re not deserving.
484
00:27:59,807 --> 00:28:01,445
You have to...
485
00:28:02,327 --> 00:28:03,521
...release your burden.
486
00:28:03,727 --> 00:28:05,638
- Oh, please.
- I know spirituality to you...
487
00:28:05,807 --> 00:28:09,243
...is a load of mumbo jumbo but it helps
people find peace with themselves.
488
00:28:09,447 --> 00:28:11,597
- But you have to believe.
- Not about religion.
489
00:28:11,807 --> 00:28:15,243
I’m talking about shedding yourself
of guilt, of anger, of ill feeling...
490
00:28:15,407 --> 00:28:18,205
...of anything
that makes you feel shame.
491
00:28:18,767 --> 00:28:22,157
And then you can focus
all of your energy on Ascending.
492
00:28:23,127 --> 00:28:25,687
What you’re telling me is that
I don’t think I’m worthy?
493
00:28:25,887 --> 00:28:29,675
Rodney, I don’t know
what you truly believe about yourself.
494
00:28:30,567 --> 00:28:33,206
For all I know, you use your intelligence
to compensate...
495
00:28:33,367 --> 00:28:36,962
...to make yourself feel better
for other things you think you may lack.
496
00:28:37,567 --> 00:28:39,444
- Like what?
- That I can’t tell you.
497
00:28:40,447 --> 00:28:42,915
But maybe you could start
reading your own mind?
498
00:28:59,447 --> 00:29:02,564
I don’t care what you’re gonna say.
I’m gonna keep working on this.
499
00:29:02,727 --> 00:29:04,080
Well, I appreciate that.
500
00:29:05,087 --> 00:29:09,285
I mean, you saved my life, so
the least I can do is try to save yours.
501
00:29:09,447 --> 00:29:11,005
Radek...
502
00:29:11,927 --> 00:29:13,679
...I think it’s safe to say that...
503
00:29:13,847 --> 00:29:18,637
...I am, at times, a petty, vindictive,
even jealous man.
504
00:29:19,447 --> 00:29:22,245
I supplement my own anxieties
or feelings of inadequacy...
505
00:29:22,407 --> 00:29:26,719
...by creating a bubble of hostility
around myself.
506
00:29:26,887 --> 00:29:28,718
I know that you,
more than anyone else...
507
00:29:28,887 --> 00:29:31,162
...have had to bear the brunt
of that hostility.
508
00:29:31,327 --> 00:29:35,115
- Rodney, you don’t have to-
- Actually, I do. Here’s the thing.
509
00:29:36,767 --> 00:29:38,485
You’re a brilliant scientist...
510
00:29:38,647 --> 00:29:40,603
...and a decent human being.
511
00:29:40,807 --> 00:29:43,367
I mean, you should not have had
to endure the kind of...
512
00:29:43,527 --> 00:29:46,405
...abuse that you’ve taken from me
in the past few years.
513
00:29:47,047 --> 00:29:50,722
I hope you can forgive me for all the
things I’ve said and done to you.
514
00:29:50,887 --> 00:29:53,082
You deserve much better than that.
515
00:29:54,567 --> 00:29:56,683
And so I wanted you to know that.
516
00:29:59,247 --> 00:30:00,680
Yes.
517
00:30:14,487 --> 00:30:16,159
- Rodney.
- Mind if I come in?
518
00:30:16,327 --> 00:30:18,283
- Shouldn’t you be-?
- Hope you don’t mind.
519
00:30:23,447 --> 00:30:25,358
I was talking with Halling,
he mentioned...
520
00:30:25,527 --> 00:30:27,995
...it was the anniversary
of the death of your father.
521
00:30:28,207 --> 00:30:29,322
He did?
522
00:30:29,487 --> 00:30:31,796
Okay, I might have asked
a few pointed questions...
523
00:30:31,967 --> 00:30:34,800
...but I just thought
it would be nice if-
524
00:30:35,847 --> 00:30:37,326
What I mean is...
525
00:30:37,967 --> 00:30:41,960
...I would be honored if you let me share
the memorial tea ceremony with you.
526
00:30:43,287 --> 00:30:46,802
I don’t know if it’s wrong to do it early
but I may not be around next week.
527
00:30:46,967 --> 00:30:50,846
Anyway, I understand it’s something
you’re not supposed to do alone.
528
00:30:52,407 --> 00:30:54,318
Thank you, Rodney.
529
00:30:55,207 --> 00:30:57,402
No, no, no, no.
I know exactly what to do.
530
00:30:57,567 --> 00:31:00,365
You are the one who has lost
a loved one. I will serve you.
531
00:31:04,207 --> 00:31:08,644
Hey, buddy. Pal.
I’ve been looking all over for you.
532
00:31:08,807 --> 00:31:11,002
- Checked the gym, the mess.
- Wasn’t there.
533
00:31:11,167 --> 00:31:13,806
No, you weren’t.
Usually one of those is a good bet.
534
00:31:13,967 --> 00:31:17,676
So where are you off to?
Shooting range, a little target practice?
535
00:31:17,847 --> 00:31:21,317
- I don’t need practice.
- Oh, no, no, of course you don’t.
536
00:31:21,727 --> 00:31:25,037
I don’t know how much time I have left,
so I’m gonna cut to the chase...
537
00:31:25,207 --> 00:31:27,357
...ask you a rather personal question.
538
00:31:27,767 --> 00:31:30,600
Hopefully,
you won’t just hit me in the face.
539
00:31:31,367 --> 00:31:33,039
Asking away.
540
00:31:33,687 --> 00:31:34,802
Those...
541
00:31:34,967 --> 00:31:37,686
...scars on your back
from your encounters with the Wraith?
542
00:31:37,847 --> 00:31:39,803
You know, with the tracking device?
543
00:31:41,127 --> 00:31:44,802
Are those like a badge of honor for you,
or are they just...
544
00:31:44,967 --> 00:31:48,039
...a constant reminder of something
you’d rather forget?
545
00:31:48,607 --> 00:31:51,326
I mean, I know it’s none of my business.
I just-
546
00:31:52,407 --> 00:31:54,921
I try not to let things
I can’t change bother me.
547
00:31:57,847 --> 00:31:58,962
That’s very healthy.
548
00:32:16,167 --> 00:32:18,044
I hope you don’t mind.
549
00:32:18,607 --> 00:32:19,801
I just healed them.
550
00:32:34,407 --> 00:32:36,637
You’re still trying
to find a way out of this?
551
00:32:36,847 --> 00:32:38,200
You think I’m gonna give up?
552
00:32:38,527 --> 00:32:42,566
The Ancients that experimented
with that device either Ascended or died.
553
00:32:42,727 --> 00:32:45,878
Most of them the latter,
which is why it did not get put into use-
554
00:32:46,047 --> 00:32:48,402
Like you said, there were exceptions.
555
00:32:48,567 --> 00:32:51,400
This will all be over soon
and you can get back to real work.
556
00:32:51,607 --> 00:32:53,006
Rodney. Don’t.
557
00:32:53,167 --> 00:32:58,878
No, no, no. I’m not fishing for sympathy.
I just wanted to give you that.
558
00:32:59,487 --> 00:33:03,639
- What have you invented now?
- Oh, nothing. That’s a book.
559
00:33:03,847 --> 00:33:06,566
- About what?
- You.
560
00:33:06,767 --> 00:33:09,122
You’ve taken a lot of crap
as the leader.
561
00:33:09,287 --> 00:33:12,324
I thought someone should leave a record
of the things you’ve done.
562
00:33:12,487 --> 00:33:14,239
Everything you’ve done right.
563
00:33:15,727 --> 00:33:18,321
Everything I do
is on record for review.
564
00:33:18,527 --> 00:33:21,963
Yes, I know. I thought
I’d have a unique perspective...
565
00:33:22,127 --> 00:33:23,765
...other people might benefit from.
566
00:33:23,927 --> 00:33:27,602
You know, I actually took the liberty
of doing some research into your past...
567
00:33:27,807 --> 00:33:30,799
...and included that as well.
I’m sorry if I’m not a good writer.
568
00:33:31,007 --> 00:33:35,080
It might be
a bit overly maudlin in places.
569
00:33:37,007 --> 00:33:39,805
Rodney, this is 500 pages long.
When did you-?
570
00:33:39,967 --> 00:33:42,401
Anyway, that’s all.
571
00:33:43,287 --> 00:33:44,766
Right.
572
00:33:50,287 --> 00:33:53,006
- What’s it down to?
- That’s not important.
573
00:33:53,167 --> 00:33:54,566
What?
574
00:33:55,047 --> 00:33:57,163
Of course it is. It’s got to-
575
00:33:57,327 --> 00:34:00,956
- What, 17 hertz? It’s not even close.
- Well, it’s closer than you’ve ever been.
576
00:34:01,127 --> 00:34:02,879
Oh, forget it.
577
00:34:03,527 --> 00:34:06,803
Look, if you have to keep asking,
you’re obviously not getting it.
578
00:34:06,967 --> 00:34:08,286
This is about letting go.
579
00:34:08,447 --> 00:34:10,278
I don’t know how to do that, okay?
580
00:34:10,487 --> 00:34:12,603
I’m me.
I don’t know how not to be me.
581
00:34:14,287 --> 00:34:16,357
Look, thank you for all of your help.
582
00:34:16,847 --> 00:34:19,077
I think in the grand scheme of things,
we’re-
583
00:34:19,247 --> 00:34:20,919
We’re good, aren’t we?
584
00:34:22,087 --> 00:34:23,918
Of course.
585
00:34:24,687 --> 00:34:27,326
If it’s not much trouble,
I’d like you to read my eulogy.
586
00:34:27,527 --> 00:34:29,438
I refuse to discuss that.
587
00:34:29,607 --> 00:34:32,917
Just keep it simple.
Make up a few nice things.
588
00:34:33,087 --> 00:34:34,679
I’d like my sister to be there.
589
00:34:34,847 --> 00:34:36,883
And- You should know
that I told Beckett...
590
00:34:37,047 --> 00:34:39,197
...that he should
definitely do a full autopsy.
591
00:34:39,407 --> 00:34:41,796
He can use my body
for any kind of experimentation...
592
00:34:41,967 --> 00:34:45,676
...that might prove helpful.
And- Oh, then I’d like to be cremated.
593
00:34:45,887 --> 00:34:50,085
I’d like my ashes to be thrown out
into space from the Jumper so-
594
00:34:51,407 --> 00:34:52,681
Rodney!
595
00:34:58,327 --> 00:35:00,841
Medical team to my quarters.
596
00:35:02,127 --> 00:35:06,040
The synaptic activity in your brain
has reached over 90 percent.
597
00:35:06,207 --> 00:35:10,166
I don’t know why, but it seems the more
pervasive, evolved state of the cortex...
598
00:35:10,327 --> 00:35:12,602
...is causing lapses
in the lower brain function.
599
00:35:12,807 --> 00:35:16,720
It’s almost as if your body is losing
its natural ability to keep itself alive.
600
00:35:16,887 --> 00:35:18,718
When Ascension occurs naturally...
601
00:35:18,887 --> 00:35:21,765
...the physical body’s no longer
necessary in the final stages.
602
00:35:21,927 --> 00:35:24,236
Rodney, I don’t know how much more
you can take.
603
00:35:25,327 --> 00:35:26,601
About six percent.
604
00:35:27,087 --> 00:35:28,805
There must be something we can do.
605
00:35:29,247 --> 00:35:30,600
McKAY:
It’s okay.
606
00:35:30,927 --> 00:35:32,121
You know...
607
00:35:32,287 --> 00:35:35,643
...I’m actually feeling
a sense of peace.
608
00:35:36,447 --> 00:35:38,881
Interspersed with moments
of sheer terror, of course.
609
00:35:39,327 --> 00:35:43,366
Rodney,
as far as this Ascension thing...
610
00:35:43,687 --> 00:35:47,316
...I know you didn’t have much success.
But at this point...
611
00:35:47,567 --> 00:35:49,523
...what have you got to lose?
612
00:35:49,687 --> 00:35:52,918
- May as well go out fighting, huh?
- Absolutely.
613
00:35:54,487 --> 00:35:56,125
Hook me up.
614
00:35:59,647 --> 00:36:01,160
McKAY:
Carson.
615
00:36:02,127 --> 00:36:03,685
Thank you.
616
00:36:04,327 --> 00:36:06,124
Thank you for everything.
617
00:36:07,647 --> 00:36:09,956
I only wish I could have done more,
my friend.
618
00:36:21,807 --> 00:36:23,240
Clear blue skies.
619
00:36:24,247 --> 00:36:26,203
All my troubles...
620
00:36:26,367 --> 00:36:28,562
...just drifting away.
621
00:36:29,127 --> 00:36:32,642
Okay. Stop talking now.
622
00:36:35,527 --> 00:36:37,961
Rodney, you’re a good person.
623
00:36:38,767 --> 00:36:39,995
Know that we love you.
624
00:36:41,887 --> 00:36:43,605
You love me?
625
00:36:44,927 --> 00:36:46,838
Really? All of you?
626
00:36:47,007 --> 00:36:50,238
In the way a friend
feels about another friend.
627
00:36:50,447 --> 00:36:53,120
You’re just saying that
because I’m gonna die.
628
00:36:53,807 --> 00:36:55,638
Oh, God.
I can’t believe I’m gonna die.
629
00:36:55,807 --> 00:36:58,719
All right, just back to the blue skies.
Let your thoughts go.
630
00:36:59,247 --> 00:37:02,762
Concentrate on your breathing.
631
00:37:09,847 --> 00:37:10,916
Oh, my God.
632
00:37:20,687 --> 00:37:22,678
He’s not breathing.
Get him on a ventilator.
633
00:37:22,887 --> 00:37:25,276
- Carson, he gave us orders-
You don’t understand.
634
00:37:25,487 --> 00:37:27,478
He just told me how to save him.
635
00:37:29,047 --> 00:37:31,277
We’re en route. His pulse is weak.
Are you ready?
636
00:37:31,487 --> 00:37:33,125
We will be.
637
00:37:35,047 --> 00:37:36,196
Almost.
638
00:37:43,247 --> 00:37:44,805
Right.
639
00:37:47,767 --> 00:37:49,723
Hurry, he can’t breathe on his own.
640
00:37:53,447 --> 00:37:55,165
Okay, stand back.
641
00:38:06,327 --> 00:38:07,919
Rodney?
642
00:38:08,087 --> 00:38:09,918
- It worked.
- Did it?
643
00:38:10,087 --> 00:38:12,806
- Well, I’m alive, aren’t I?
Sounds like him.
644
00:38:12,967 --> 00:38:14,605
McKAY:
Yes, yes.
645
00:38:14,807 --> 00:38:16,923
I can’t hear one of your thoughts.
646
00:38:17,967 --> 00:38:20,037
Telekinesis is gone.
647
00:38:20,367 --> 00:38:23,040
I’m still smart, I think.
648
00:38:23,207 --> 00:38:24,322
Yes.
649
00:38:24,487 --> 00:38:26,603
Yes, I’m me. I’m my old self.
650
00:38:26,807 --> 00:38:28,399
- Are you certain?
McKAY: Yeah, I’m alive.
651
00:38:28,607 --> 00:38:31,758
I feel great. I feel, uh- Um, hungry?
652
00:38:31,927 --> 00:38:32,916
Oh, he’s fine.
653
00:38:33,087 --> 00:38:34,679
And you said it was impossible.
654
00:38:34,847 --> 00:38:36,326
McKAY:
The answer just came to me.
655
00:38:36,487 --> 00:38:40,765
I was floating in this black emptiness
and the answer came out of nowhere.
656
00:38:40,927 --> 00:38:43,361
Look, the device was designed
to manipulate your DNA.
657
00:38:43,567 --> 00:38:46,559
It couldn’t reverse the process,
everyone’s DNA is different.
658
00:38:46,727 --> 00:38:48,683
It makes changes
that causes the DNA...
659
00:38:48,847 --> 00:38:51,964
...to evolve in ways
specific to your own unique physiology.
660
00:38:52,167 --> 00:38:55,637
To manipulate the DNA, the program
required a precise reference point.
661
00:38:55,847 --> 00:38:59,078
I keep blood samples from the Atlantis
team members for comparisons.
662
00:38:59,687 --> 00:39:02,076
I don’t understand
what any of you are talking about.
663
00:39:02,247 --> 00:39:04,920
- What-
- It’s good to have you back, buddy.
664
00:39:05,087 --> 00:39:07,237
- Mmm!
- Yes, well, it’s good to be back.
665
00:39:07,407 --> 00:39:08,840
Yeah.
666
00:39:16,687 --> 00:39:19,724
- Hey, how are you feeling?
- Terrible.
667
00:39:19,887 --> 00:39:23,004
- Should I get Carson?
- No, no, no, physically I’m fine...
668
00:39:23,167 --> 00:39:24,964
...but this just doesn’t make
any sense.
669
00:39:25,127 --> 00:39:27,197
I can’t figure out
any of these equations.
670
00:39:27,367 --> 00:39:29,927
The algorithms are complete gibberish.
This is torture.
671
00:39:30,127 --> 00:39:32,880
I can clearly remember exactly
how important this all is...
672
00:39:33,047 --> 00:39:35,641
...but I cannot figure out why or how.
673
00:39:35,807 --> 00:39:38,241
Well, I just dropped by
to show you this.
674
00:39:39,287 --> 00:39:41,881
Your EEG readings
from your last meditation.
675
00:39:46,287 --> 00:39:48,039
Oh, my God.
676
00:39:48,447 --> 00:39:50,517
It’s 0,03 hertz. I mean, I did it.
677
00:39:50,687 --> 00:39:53,406
I mean, I was in the zone.
I could have actually Ascended.
678
00:39:54,407 --> 00:39:57,160
You said you were floating
in a big empty space.
679
00:39:57,327 --> 00:39:59,602
When the idea of how to save yourself
came to you.
680
00:39:59,767 --> 00:40:02,327
I thought about how hard it is
to rid oneself of ego.
681
00:40:02,487 --> 00:40:06,719
That existence without the individuality
of consciousness would be pointless-
682
00:40:07,047 --> 00:40:09,800
Ooh. That’s probably
what gave me the idea...
683
00:40:09,967 --> 00:40:11,923
...to reprogram the device
with my old DNA.
684
00:40:12,127 --> 00:40:14,482
- Yeah, I thought so.
- Yeah, well, you know what?
685
00:40:14,647 --> 00:40:18,037
I don’t care if you don’t think
I was capable. I never wanted to do it.
686
00:40:18,207 --> 00:40:20,482
I am very happy with who I am.
687
00:40:20,767 --> 00:40:23,156
- And you love me.
- Hmm?
688
00:40:23,407 --> 00:40:24,476
What? I never-
689
00:40:24,687 --> 00:40:27,485
You so did. I may not understand
this new math I created...
690
00:40:27,687 --> 00:40:29,962
...but I remember
that you said you love me.
691
00:40:30,167 --> 00:40:31,839
Actually, I said,« ou »?We love you. »
692
00:40:32,007 --> 00:40:34,475
You were saying that because
you thought I was dying?
693
00:40:34,647 --> 00:40:36,922
- No, I said it because-
- See? You love me.
694
00:40:37,127 --> 00:40:39,595
It’s true. You’ve said it.
Now I know. I suspected it.
695
00:40:39,767 --> 00:40:41,997
In fact, I’ve always noticed
that there’s been...
696
00:40:42,167 --> 00:40:45,000
...an indefinable and yet magical
chemistry between us...
697
00:40:45,167 --> 00:40:47,237
- ... that I think I covered in Chapter 10.
- Hmm.
698
00:40:47,407 --> 00:40:49,204
- Rodney.
- Have you had lunch yet?
699
00:40:49,407 --> 00:40:51,045
- Yes.
- Mid-afternoon snack, then?
700
00:40:52,087 --> 00:40:53,884
- I will keep you company.
- Ah.
701
00:40:54,047 --> 00:40:55,844
Now, is Sheppard still bugging you...
702
00:40:56,007 --> 00:40:58,441
...to let him use the device
to turn into a superhero?
703
00:40:58,607 --> 00:40:59,596
- Oh, yes.
- Hmm.
704
00:40:59,767 --> 00:41:03,123
Despite the fact that the database
states its effects are unpredictable.
705
00:41:03,287 --> 00:41:06,962
That I’m lucky I wasn’t instantly
melted down into a pool of protoplasm.
706
00:41:07,127 --> 00:41:08,879
- Yes.
- Huh. Well, maybe you should let him.
707
00:41:09,047 --> 00:41:10,765
I think not.
708
00:41:37,607 --> 00:41:39,598
