Programma Televisivo: Stargate Atlantis - 5x12
Previously on stargate atlantis...
what is it?
Somethingthat will one daymake us completelyimmune to the wraith.
We want to testthe serum's effectiveness against your prisoner.
We're talking about putting a human being in the same roomas a starving wraith.
The test subjectis a terminally ill patient who has volunteered himself.
What have you done to me?
Now we've been tracking what appears to bea new sicknessin the pegasus galaxy.
It's a unique proteinoriginally created by the inhabitantsof a planet called hoff.
It was designed to interfere with the wraith'sfeeding mechanism, making them immuneto the process.
It also killedthe feeding wraith and half the peoplewho took it.
Well, let's not forget that michael spread the modified hoff an drug to dozens of worlds,possibly more.
I mean, no one knowsfor sure, right?
Which means that every timeyou feed, you're taking a risk.
Once more.
Bad news, I'm afraid.
You'll have to goback to school tomorrow.
Maintain the amoxicillinfor three more days.
That should do the trick.
Now, what do we haveover here?
All these dressingsneed to be changed.
Do you mind going backto the storeroom and getting some morebandages, please?
Yes, doctor.
Thank you.
Besides that,you're looking good,my friend.
Mail call.
Colonel!
What are you alldoing here?
Well, we heardyou needed supplies,so we thought we'd come byand see how you were doing.
A "hop, skip, and a jumpfrom the gate"?
That's what you call that?
Nice to see youtoo, rodney.
How are you, doctor?
Well, thanks.
I take it these arethe antibiotics I ordered?
Dr.
Keller gave youa whole whack of them, so they should lastfor a while.
Ah, god, I wishthat were true.
What does that mean?
Well, I've beendealing witha number of infections from the hoffanplague survivors.
I can barelykeep on top of it.
Survivors ofthe hoffan plague here?
This is notone of the planets that michael targeted.
No, but many of these people actually come from another planet, balar.
They managed tosurvive the plague, and just whenthey're starting to get their piecesback together, the wraith showed up,tried towipe them out.
Mm, we heard rumorsabout that.
Well, the wraith aren't too pleased to have whole populations out there that are immuneto their feeding.
Just a handfulof the balarans survived.
The locals were kind enoughto take them in.
Doctor?
Novo!
These are my friendsfrom atlantis.
Colonel sheppard,teyla,ronon,and dr.
Rodney mckay.
This is novo.
She's been helping mehere in the clinic.
Pleasure to meet you.
You as well.
I've hearda lot about you.
Is he the one?
The one what?
From allthe funny stories.
Right!
Yeah, well, I hope you allcan stay herefor dinner?
I mean, the canteen'snot fancy, but they do serve upone heck of a stew, made froma goat-like creature.
Delicious!
Goat-like?
I thinkit's a great idea.
Gives us a chanceto catch upand relive all those... "
funny stories."
So how's lifein the wilds of pegasus?
You got to be missingatlantis by now.
Surprisingly, no.
Oh, come on.
The hot baths,playstation, deodorant?
I know it seemsa wee bit rough, but it's not, really.
Wherever I go,people are kind to me.
I never want for a mealor a place to sleep.
And to be honestwith you, I'm really startingto feel likeI'm making a difference.
What is it?
Wraith.
- =WWW.YDY.COM/BBS=- Ptoudly Presents angie =www.ydy.com/bbs=- StargateAtlantis Season 5 Episode 12 I count nine of 'em.
We can take 'em.
No.
There's too manycivilians.
It does not appear to bean ordinary culling.
How do you figure that?
Well, for one thing,there are no darts, and they do notseem to beattacking the villagers.
Who among youspeaks for the rest?
I'm elson...leaderof this village.
What do you want with us?
You've recentlytaken ina group of refugees from another planet.
They are survivorsof a plague.
It's importantthat you turn them over to meimmediately.
Why?
The reasons whydo not concern you.
Providedyou cooperate, you have my wordwe will leave peacefully.
And if we don't?
That would bea very unwise decision.
Our hive will be herebefore the night is through.
If you have notcomplied by then, I will give the word, and your entire villagewill be destroyed.
Turn overthese outsiders, and your lives will be spared.
Resist,and you will all die together.
The choice is yours.
I don't understand.
They've already destroyedour homeworld.
Why would they huntthe rest of us down as well?
You didn't tell them?
Not the whole story.
What are you talking about?
Novo, remember whenI told you that, as a plague survivor, you'd be immuneto the wraith feeding?
Well, there's a bitmore to it than that.
Any wraith who tries to feed onyou, or anyone like you, will, as a result,die instantly.
You're poison to them.
Then we're as goodas dead.
Not necessarily.
They won't tolerateour presence anywhere.
Not if what you say is true.
Just becausethey found youon this world does not mean thatthere is nowhere you can hide.
Novo?
Did you hear?
Yes.
This is sefaris.
He's also from balar.
The councilors aremeeting to discusswhether or not to heedthe wraith's request.
What?
Where?
The mine office.
I tried to get in,but they turned me away.
Ronon and teyla,scope out the gate.
You two stay here.
Watch these people.
Can you show mewhere this mine office is?
Yes.
Colonel, what are yougoing to say to them?
I'm going to give themanother way out.
You're telling us that,as a result of this plague, the balarans are now deadlyto the wraith?
Pretty much.
So the wraithwould never riskculling this village?
Mm, that's true,but that's also whythey're willing to wipe you guys outcompletely.
A village that can't be culledis no good to them.
Did they know?
What?
Did the balarans knowthey were bringing this curse upon uswhen they came here?
No.
They had no idea.
It's not their fault,jervis.
Maybe not,but that doesn't matter.
The wraith won't restuntil every last plague survivor in this galaxy is dead.
Except the wraithhave no idea who they are unless people like youpoint them out.
I'm not happyabout this either, colonel, but what other choicedo we have?
Well...
we may be ableto move all your people to a different planet,where they'll be safe.
You mean leave our homes?
I know it's not ideal,but the only other choice is to turn ina bunch of innocent people, and I know you guysaren't going to do that, right?
Well, as the wraith said,they're outsiders.
Jervis,we agreedto let them come here.
I didn't agree.
Besides, they weren't a threatat the time.
Now that's changed.
But they've becomelike family.
Novo livesunder my roof.
She eats at my table.
My daughteradores her.
What am I supposed to tell her?
You'd preferthat we all be killed?
Colonel sheppard, come in.
Excuse me.
Go ahead.
Ronon and iare at the gate.
It does not appearto be heavily guarded.
It's the same guysfrom the village.
I recognizethe commander.
What are the oddsof you two getting by 'em?
Pretty good.
Slim, actually,but much better if youand rodney join us.
Yeah, all right.
Hold your positiontill we can get there.
What is it?
How many peopleare in this village?
600, 700.
Well, we'll be tight for time,but we can manage.
What are you suggesting?
We take the wraith out,get everybody through the gate before the hive ship comes.
You should be safe in atlantis till we can relocate you.
Unacceptable.
The balaransdon't deserve this.
They did nothingbut survive a sickness.
It could just as easilyhave happened to us.
If we turn these people over, we are no better than the wraith ourselves.
Look.
Even if you cooperatewith the wraith, there's no guaranteethey're going tokeep their word.
They may just kill all of you for being an inconvenience.
All right.
What do you want us to do?
Be ready to move.
Take onlywhat you can carry.
Let's go, rodney.
We're going to hit the wraith.
We are?
I'll come with you.
Not a chance, doc.
Colonel- I don't have timeto argue.
Get these people readyfor transport.
Once the gate's secure, we're going tohave to move fast.
Okay, but be careful.
If we're going to attack, we got to do itfrom over there.
Agreed.
As soon aswe take the gate, we should call insome jumpers.
It'll make evacuatingthe village a lot faster.
Not to mention we canuse the extra firepower in case the hive gets herebefore we're done.
Oh, let's hopeit doesn't come to that.
Colonel sheppard, come in.
Go ahead.
We have a problem.
More of the wraith havebegun arriving back.
They must have beenout on patrol.
How many?
Can we still get out?
No.
For the time being,we're stuck here.
You saidyou could get us out.
Well, there are morewraith than we thought.
The gate'stoo heavily guarded.
So we're trapped?
For the moment.
I haven't given up hope.
I just need time to developa new strategy.
What strategydo you propose we use to defeatan army of wraith?
Well, I don't know.
I haven'tthought of it yet.
Look,worst-case scenario-my team and I don't show up, the people back on atlantis will dial the gateand contact us by radio.
I can order back-up.
Will that happenbefore the hive ship arrives?
Probably not.
We can't waitthat long.
For all we know, the wraith could be lyingabout the ship.
And why would theydo that?
I'm just saying, we need to stallas long as possible.
This is madness.
Elson,we have to thinkof the safetyof our people.
Oh, I'm thinking aboutthe safety of your people.
All your people!
We can't relyon their help.
We have to makeour own decisions.
I need timeto think about this.
The time for thathas passed, elson.
We have to act.
And if you're notprepared to do so,then I will.
Jervis!
What's he going to do?
I don't know.
Where's novo and the others?
We sent them home.
Why?
Canthese people walk?
Well, if need be,but I thought we couldn't get them through the gate.
No, we can'tfor the time being, but I don't thinkthey're safe here either.
Grab your weapons.
Come with me.
Get out of my way.
She's not here, jervis.
Where is she?
What are wegoing to do, novo?
We have to get outof the village.
What the hell'sgoing on out there?
Some of the villagers decided to take matters into their own hands.
Well, let's go stop 'em.
First things first.
We got to move these people.
Grab some gear.
We don't wantany trouble.
Just hand over the balarans.
I don't think so.
Don't make thingsdifficult, colonel.
You had your chanceto save the village.
Now it's my turn.
Saving the village?
That's what you call this?
This isn't your affair.
It's up to us to decide how to deal with the situation.
Yes, it is,but jervis,this is not our way.
Our way?
Our way is what got usinto this situation in the first place!
We've already given them more than they could haveever asked for.
All right,why not just shoot them right now and get it over with?
It's a death sentenceanyway.
Shoot them yourself, and spare themthe torment of being torturedby the wraith.
You'd be doing thema favor.
Carson.
Go on!
Kill themall, then, if you're that desperateto be done with them!
You're making a big mistake.
Maybe,but at least we do so with a clear conscience.
Doesn't matter anyway.
What are you talking about?
My men are alreadyon the way to the gate with the first groupwe captured.
It's too late.
What are theygoing to do to us?
Be calm, sefaris.
You're scaring the others.
Maybe theyshould be scared.
We both know there'sno escape from this.
We cannot give up hope.
Face it, novo...
we've been betrayed.
They don't want us here.
They never did.
We were doomedthe moment we had toleave our homes.
And, to think...
as a survivor,I used to consider myself one of the lucky ones.
Is jervis taken care of?
He and his menhave been locked up.
They will not be giving usany more trouble, though I do not think it was necessary to stun them.
Felt good, though.
So what now?
Well, I got to getthe rest of the balarans out of the village.
There's no tellingif anybody else might feel the wayjervis does.
Where should wetake them?
The forest?
It's kind of a long haulat night.
Wait a minute.
What about the mine?
These tracks leadright down to it.
I mean,we just follow them.
No one gets lost.
Exactly.
All right.
Go get beckettand his patients.
Bring them here.
We'll round up everyone else.
What is it?
Something's happening.
What's going on?
You'll be moving shortly.
Where?
Your new home.
The hive shiphas just arrived.
Wait.
I have a propositionfor you.
What are youdoing, sefaris?
Something we should havedone a long time ago.
There is nothingyou have to offer me.
Don't be so sure.
There's someonehiding in the village.
He's of far greater value than all of us put together.
Sefaris, no- spare our lives,I'll take you to him.
A fair attempt...
but the answer's no.
My life, then.
How could youdo this?
I promise,it'll be worth your while.
I believethat is everybody.
Where's mckayand beckett?
Rodney,what's your status?
Still at the clinic.
Carson decided to pick upa few more supplies.
Tell him to get a move on.
We can't stay here forever.
Go ahead, colonel.
We'll catch up.
You sure?
Absolutely.
We'll be right behind you.
Let's get going.
Stay together.
Follow the tracks.
There.
That should do it.
Rodney, can you give mea hand here?
Remind meto bring a sherpanext time I visit.
Him.
He's the one.
You see?
I kept up my endof the bargain.
So you did.
Unfortunately,in light of your..."condition"...
keeping you aliveis far too risky.
Darts.
Rodney and carsonare still not here.
Rodney, come in.
Mckay?
You guys keep moving.
I'm going to goget him.
Ronon?
Teyla?
Go ahead.
The wraith just gotbeckett and mckay.
What?
How?
Took 'em up in a dart.
I think they're on their wayup to a hive.
How did the wraith know that they were in the village?
I think I got an idea.
Rodney.
Rodney, wake up.
god, is it me,or have they juiced up the stun weapons?
Oh, and theybrought us to the hive.
That's great.
What are wegoing to do?
Uh, just don't-don't panic.
Don't panic.
I have...
got lots of experience escaping from these things.
You do?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I've been in this situationdozens of times, always figured a way out.
How, exactly?
Uh, let's see.
Last time, teyla was posingas a queen, so...
you know,she had us released.
Not much chanceof that happening.
No, I guess not.
How about the timebefore that?
Ronon's friend tyrewas pretending to bein league with the wraith,but really he was on our side,so...
he let us out.
I'm starting to sensea pattern here.
You've actuallynever really escaped from one of these cellson your own?
First timefor everything, right?
Oh, god, rodney.
Well, just...
give me a minute.
I'll think ofsomething.
I hate to pressure you, rodney, but I don't thinkwe have a minute.
Bring them.
What is this place?
A lab belongingto my top scientist.
For the last six month she has been studying the deadly toxin that has infiltrated our food supply.
Where is he now?
Dead.
He was convincedhe had arrived at a foolproof wayto detect the poison.
To prove it, he decided to feed on one of his test subjects.
Guess that didn'twork out so well?
He diedin excruciating pain.
Needless to say, his research has beenstalled ever since.
And that's whereyou come in,doctor.
Me?
What do youexpect me to do?
The one who identified you said you had considerable expertisein dealing with the toxin.
He even said you hada hand in developing it.
If anyone can finda way to detect it,you can.
If you thinkI'm going to help you, you're sorely mistaken.
I anticipatedyou might say that, which is whyI'm preparedto offer youan incentive.
Thus far,I have spared the lives of the people on the planet below.
If you cooperate,I will continue to do so.
But if either of you try to cross me in any way- yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,we get the picture.
I knew you'd cometo see it my way.
Get to work.
Give me one reason why I shouldn'tblow your head off.
What for?
How did the wraith knowto grab beckett?
W- what do you mean?
Doctor's been captured?
I swear, I had nothingto do with that.
What about your men?
No.
No, there's no way.
The doctor has beennothing but good to us.
Well, they didn't juststumble across the clinic.
Somebodybrought them there.
Well, why don't youask the balarans?
They're the oneswith the most to gain.
One of themprobably thoughthe could save himself by turning in the doctor.
I told you they wereno good, colonel.
Damn it.
None of these consolesare hooked into anything.
I can't accessany of the ship's systems.
What about you?
You making any progress?
Carson?
Hey!
You okay?
I can't do this,rodney.
What do you mean?
You don'tunderstand it?
No.
I mean, I can't do it.
Do you realize what'll happen if the wraith find a way to detect the hoffan drug?
They'll hunt down every last person in this galaxy that has it.
That's hundreds of thousandsof people, rodney.
Not to mention the factthat, when they're finished, they can start feeding again,indiscriminately.
What's thealternative, huh?
We know the wraith aren't just going to let the matter drop.
We've seenwhat they can do.
They'll- they'll wipe out entire villages just to get a fewlike the balarans.
So what am isupposed to do?
You just stall.
You know, you make it looklike you're working, and...
till we figure outhow to get the hell out of here.
And then what?
Go about our business?
Pretend this never happened?
I never saidit was going to be easy.
But you can't solve all the galaxy's problemsin one day.
Look, I understand.
You feel guilty.
But this is not your fault.
You had no idea that any of this was going to happen.
One of the first thingsthey taught us in medical schoolwas "do no harm."
Now, I'm ata loss right nowto figure out how that'seven possible in this situation.
How are they doing?
They are frightened.
I've been trying toreassure them, but it is of little use.
How's it going in here?
We are getting by.
What is happeningin the village?
Ah, not much.
Everybody's hiding indoors.
Why hasn't the hiveship attacked yet?
Do you think it couldhave something to do with rodneyand carson's capture?
I don't know,but we should use this time to come up with a plan.
You got anything?
Maybe, but it's going totake some work.
What is it?
You got something?
No.
You sure?
You got one ofthose "beckett" faces.
Aye, I'm sure, rodney.
Just go back to work.
Where are you going?
To talkto the hive commander.
What?
Why?
There's somethingI need to tell him.
Oh, I knew it.
You found something.What is it?
Hey, open up!
Seriously, will youjust tell me?
You know I'm going togo through your stuff as soon as you're gone.
Just leave me be,rodney.
Open the door!
Will you just tell mewhat's going on?
I need to talkto the commander right away.
Listen to me, rodney.
I need you to stay here.
Don't worry.
Everything will be just fine.
Right.
Doctor.
I didn't expectto hear from you so soon.
This must be good news.
For some people,maybe.
I'm here to tell youthat I'm off the case.
What are you talking about?
I'm not going to doyour dirty work for you.
Find someone else.
There is no one else!
Then that's too badfor you, isn't it?
You're trying my patience,doctor.
You forget,I control the fateof the people below.
People will dieno matter what I do, so I'm not going todo anything.
If you refuseto complete the research, then there is onlyone other way that you could beof use to me.
And, trust me,you won't like it.
You don'tscare me anymore.
Do you understand?
I don't give a damnwhat you do to me.
Suit yourself.
I'm going to enjoy this...
very much.
What is this?
What have you done to me?
Turns outyou were closerto detecting the hoffan drugthan you thought.
It didn't take me longto perfect your blood test.
And onceI confirmed itusing samples that you provided, I decided to doone more test, just to be certain...
on me.
You have the toxin?
Indeed.
And now...
so do you.
Carson!
Hello, rodney.Can you delete this data?
Yeah, of course,but how did you- I talked the hive commanderinto feeding on me.
What?
What?
Why would youdo that?
I have the hoffan drug,rodney.
Michael must have given it to me as a defense against the wraith.
Well, why didn'tyou tell me?
Because you would havestopped me from going.
Yeah, because it's stupid!
What would've happenedif you were wrong?
I had to do something.
It's the only chance we hadto get away.
Now, will you help medestroy this research before they find outwhat I've done?
Right.
Okay, great.
The coast is clear.
What are we doing,exactly?
What do you think?
We're looking fora way off this ship.
By wandering aimlesslythrough the hallways?
I'm notwandering aimlessly.
I'm exploring.
There'sa big difference.
Bingo!
What are youdoing, rodney?
Hacking intothe ship's communications.
Are you surethat's a good idea?
Look, if we don't getin touch with sheppard, we don't stand any chanceof getting off this ship.
You're going tohave to cover me.
All right.
From which direction?
What was that?
Sheppard, do you read me?
Mckay, is that you?
Oh!
Thank god!
Okay, we are on the hive ship.
I've got beckett with me.
What the hellis going on up there?
We managed to escape.
Beckett helped.
Oh, that's great, 'cause we could reallyuse the help.
You?
Look, we're the onesstuck on the ship!
That's exactly where you need to be right now, because we need someone to take out the hive'smain weapons.
What?
We got a plan,but it's onlygoing to work if we take the hiveout of the picture.
It is bad enough that I hackedinto communications!
If I start messing aroundwith other systems, they'll track us downin a matter of minutes!
Rodney,it's the only way to get these peopleto safety.
Once that's done,we'll figure out a way to get you guys out of there.
All right.
I'll see what I can do.
Give me a few minutes.
That should be enough time.
You're a good man, rodney.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just don't forget us, okay?
We won'T.
Good luck.
Think he'll be ableto pull it off?
Well, he'd better.
Otherwise this thing'sgoing to go very badly.
Jervis.
Jervis.
What do you want?
We need to talk.
Well, I have nothingto say to you.
You were right all along.
I should havelistened to you.
The atlantians have no ideawhat they're doing.
They claim to have a plan,but, in reality, they're just puttingall our livesat risk.
Well...
It's a little late now,isn't it?
Is it?
If you went to the wraithat the gate right now, do you think you could get them to honor the original deal?
It's possible.
But...
I'd have to deliver all of the remaining outsiders at once.
They're in the mine,hiding inthe main chamber.
Are the other councilors on board with this?
The less they know about it,the better.
And you?
Can you reconcile thiswith your conscience?
Leave that to me.
You just make that deal.
What is it?
Search the ship.
How long is this going to take,rodney?
Do I rush youwhile you're performing complicated surgery?
Aye, it's been knownto happen.
All right, I'm in.
Now, I just need a fewminutes to disable the- oh, geez!
I thinkthey found us!
You figure?
Okay, you're going tohave to hold them off.
Am I, now?
Yeah.
Come on,carson.
You can do this,all right?
All right.
On three?
How about on one?
All right.
Right.
And, one!
How's it coming?
Almost there.
I can't hold them offforever, rodney!
We have to go!
Now!
All right, that's it!
I got it!
Let's go!
Where are we going?
The dart bay.
You know how tofly a dart?
Well, I've flownjumpers before.
I've been to tokyo before.
Doesn't meanI can speak japanese.
Well, how hardcan it be?
Do you even knowwhere you're going?
Yeah, I pulled upa schematic of the shipon that console.
What?
While we werebeing fired upon?
All right,that's sealed.
How long do you thinkit'll hold them?
Not very.
Well, come on.
What are you doing?
I'm getting in.
Well, we can't bothfit in here.
You're damn rightI can.
Now shove over!
You comfy?
Peachy.
What are you waiting for?
Well, it shouldjust start up.
Well, it didn'T.
I know, but itdoesn't make sense.
A canopy shouldform over our head.
Maybe there's some kindof a weight limit?
What's thatsupposed to mean?
I mean becausethere's two of us!
Well, maybe you needa key, or something?
It's nota volkswagen, carson!
Okay, look,these are obviouslythe flight controls.
That makes thatpropulsion, so...
where'd you come up withthat brilliant conclusion?
It's just common sense!
Come on!
Right, common sense.
What do youwant from me?
It's not likethere's labels!
Oh, not good!
You're telling me.
We needa new plan, rodney.
I know!
I'm thinking!
Well, whatever you do,think fast, because if those wraithcome through that door, we're both dead.
Rodney, we need to go.
Where?
I mean,we're trapped in here!
Then we need tofind a place to hide.
Come on.
What?
I have another idea.
It's a long shot,but it might work.
But you're going tohave to get off me!
Once you've taken these people, you're going to leavethe village, right?
For good?
This place is ofno concern to us.
All we wantis the balarans.
There's a large chamberup ahead.
That's where they're hiding.
Where are they?
I don't understand.
He said they were here!
I...
they should beright here!
What is this?
Think wekilled enough wraithto make a difference?
Guess we'll find out.
Nice work.
We've received wordof an explosionon the planet that's killed severalof our warriors.
The humans continueto attack our troops.
They're trying to escape.
Target the areaaround the portaland open fire.
Weaponsaren't responding!
What?
Dial the gate.
This is the first group.
There are more are coming.
We've got to move fast.
They won't take thislying down.
Let's go.
All right.
Come on, let's go.
Stay level, stay low.
We've lost contact withthe troops at the gate.
What about the twohuman prisoners?
They're nowhereto be seen.
They couldn't havejust disappeared.
It doesn't matter.
We can't letthe villagers escape.
Launch the darts.
Colonel!
Go, go, go!
Oh, crap!
Sheppard!
We've got more coming!
Go, go, go!
You're almost there.
Teyla!
Rodney!
Carson!
Oh, my god, it worked!
Rodney,you're a genius!
What'd you do?
I reprogrammed the culling beamto dematerialize us, then to dischargeonly from that point on.
Once the wraith losttheir main weapons,it was just a matter of timefor them to launch the darts.
Let's go!
There you are!
I've been calling you.
Oh, I'm sorry.
What's up?
Lorne's team just found a suitable planetfor the villagers.
They're going to move them outthis afternoon.
Aye, I heard.
I'm going with them.
Oh, right.
Of course.
Um, well, you want to...
grab some lunch?
We didn't get any chanceto socialize this time around, unless you count, you know, running through the halls of the hive ship as social time.
Aye, you're right.
Look, rodney, I'd love to, but I really need toget through this.
Well, what is it?
Dr.
Keller's researchon the serum that keeps my cells from deteriorating.
I think there might besomething in here to helpthe plague survivors, since I'm not gettingthe infections that they are.
Well, you don't haveto do this now.
I'll download the datato a drive.
You can just, you know,take it with you.
Actually, you can'T.
Mr.
Woolsey doesn't wantit leaving the base.
I'm sorry, rodney.
Well, I don't care.
I was just, you know,trying to stop youfrom whining about never seeing me.
All right.
Rodney, wait.
Now that I think of it,I am a wee bit peckish.
Besides, I can't solveall the galaxy's problems in one day, can I?
Well, I- shut it.
Right, let's go.
So?
Interested in anyonethese days?
Me?
No, I don'thave time for that.
You're a terribleliar, dr.
Mckay.
Tell me,tell me, tell me.
what is it?
Somethingthat will one daymake us completelyimmune to the wraith.
We want to testthe serum's effectiveness against your prisoner.
We're talking about putting a human being in the same roomas a starving wraith.
The test subjectis a terminally ill patient who has volunteered himself.
What have you done to me?
Now we've been tracking what appears to bea new sicknessin the pegasus galaxy.
It's a unique proteinoriginally created by the inhabitantsof a planet called hoff.
It was designed to interfere with the wraith'sfeeding mechanism, making them immuneto the process.
It also killedthe feeding wraith and half the peoplewho took it.
Well, let's not forget that michael spread the modified hoff an drug to dozens of worlds,possibly more.
I mean, no one knowsfor sure, right?
Which means that every timeyou feed, you're taking a risk.
Once more.
Bad news, I'm afraid.
You'll have to goback to school tomorrow.
Maintain the amoxicillinfor three more days.
That should do the trick.
Now, what do we haveover here?
All these dressingsneed to be changed.
Do you mind going backto the storeroom and getting some morebandages, please?
Yes, doctor.
Thank you.
Besides that,you're looking good,my friend.
Mail call.
Colonel!
What are you alldoing here?
Well, we heardyou needed supplies,so we thought we'd come byand see how you were doing.
A "hop, skip, and a jumpfrom the gate"?
That's what you call that?
Nice to see youtoo, rodney.
How are you, doctor?
Well, thanks.
I take it these arethe antibiotics I ordered?
Dr.
Keller gave youa whole whack of them, so they should lastfor a while.
Ah, god, I wishthat were true.
What does that mean?
Well, I've beendealing witha number of infections from the hoffanplague survivors.
I can barelykeep on top of it.
Survivors ofthe hoffan plague here?
This is notone of the planets that michael targeted.
No, but many of these people actually come from another planet, balar.
They managed tosurvive the plague, and just whenthey're starting to get their piecesback together, the wraith showed up,tried towipe them out.
Mm, we heard rumorsabout that.
Well, the wraith aren't too pleased to have whole populations out there that are immuneto their feeding.
Just a handfulof the balarans survived.
The locals were kind enoughto take them in.
Doctor?
Novo!
These are my friendsfrom atlantis.
Colonel sheppard,teyla,ronon,and dr.
Rodney mckay.
This is novo.
She's been helping mehere in the clinic.
Pleasure to meet you.
You as well.
I've hearda lot about you.
Is he the one?
The one what?
From allthe funny stories.
Right!
Yeah, well, I hope you allcan stay herefor dinner?
I mean, the canteen'snot fancy, but they do serve upone heck of a stew, made froma goat-like creature.
Delicious!
Goat-like?
I thinkit's a great idea.
Gives us a chanceto catch upand relive all those... "
funny stories."
So how's lifein the wilds of pegasus?
You got to be missingatlantis by now.
Surprisingly, no.
Oh, come on.
The hot baths,playstation, deodorant?
I know it seemsa wee bit rough, but it's not, really.
Wherever I go,people are kind to me.
I never want for a mealor a place to sleep.
And to be honestwith you, I'm really startingto feel likeI'm making a difference.
What is it?
Wraith.
- =WWW.YDY.COM/BBS=- Ptoudly Presents angie =www.ydy.com/bbs=- StargateAtlantis Season 5 Episode 12 I count nine of 'em.
We can take 'em.
No.
There's too manycivilians.
It does not appear to bean ordinary culling.
How do you figure that?
Well, for one thing,there are no darts, and they do notseem to beattacking the villagers.
Who among youspeaks for the rest?
I'm elson...leaderof this village.
What do you want with us?
You've recentlytaken ina group of refugees from another planet.
They are survivorsof a plague.
It's importantthat you turn them over to meimmediately.
Why?
The reasons whydo not concern you.
Providedyou cooperate, you have my wordwe will leave peacefully.
And if we don't?
That would bea very unwise decision.
Our hive will be herebefore the night is through.
If you have notcomplied by then, I will give the word, and your entire villagewill be destroyed.
Turn overthese outsiders, and your lives will be spared.
Resist,and you will all die together.
The choice is yours.
I don't understand.
They've already destroyedour homeworld.
Why would they huntthe rest of us down as well?
You didn't tell them?
Not the whole story.
What are you talking about?
Novo, remember whenI told you that, as a plague survivor, you'd be immuneto the wraith feeding?
Well, there's a bitmore to it than that.
Any wraith who tries to feed onyou, or anyone like you, will, as a result,die instantly.
You're poison to them.
Then we're as goodas dead.
Not necessarily.
They won't tolerateour presence anywhere.
Not if what you say is true.
Just becausethey found youon this world does not mean thatthere is nowhere you can hide.
Novo?
Did you hear?
Yes.
This is sefaris.
He's also from balar.
The councilors aremeeting to discusswhether or not to heedthe wraith's request.
What?
Where?
The mine office.
I tried to get in,but they turned me away.
Ronon and teyla,scope out the gate.
You two stay here.
Watch these people.
Can you show mewhere this mine office is?
Yes.
Colonel, what are yougoing to say to them?
I'm going to give themanother way out.
You're telling us that,as a result of this plague, the balarans are now deadlyto the wraith?
Pretty much.
So the wraithwould never riskculling this village?
Mm, that's true,but that's also whythey're willing to wipe you guys outcompletely.
A village that can't be culledis no good to them.
Did they know?
What?
Did the balarans knowthey were bringing this curse upon uswhen they came here?
No.
They had no idea.
It's not their fault,jervis.
Maybe not,but that doesn't matter.
The wraith won't restuntil every last plague survivor in this galaxy is dead.
Except the wraithhave no idea who they are unless people like youpoint them out.
I'm not happyabout this either, colonel, but what other choicedo we have?
Well...
we may be ableto move all your people to a different planet,where they'll be safe.
You mean leave our homes?
I know it's not ideal,but the only other choice is to turn ina bunch of innocent people, and I know you guysaren't going to do that, right?
Well, as the wraith said,they're outsiders.
Jervis,we agreedto let them come here.
I didn't agree.
Besides, they weren't a threatat the time.
Now that's changed.
But they've becomelike family.
Novo livesunder my roof.
She eats at my table.
My daughteradores her.
What am I supposed to tell her?
You'd preferthat we all be killed?
Colonel sheppard, come in.
Excuse me.
Go ahead.
Ronon and iare at the gate.
It does not appearto be heavily guarded.
It's the same guysfrom the village.
I recognizethe commander.
What are the oddsof you two getting by 'em?
Pretty good.
Slim, actually,but much better if youand rodney join us.
Yeah, all right.
Hold your positiontill we can get there.
What is it?
How many peopleare in this village?
600, 700.
Well, we'll be tight for time,but we can manage.
What are you suggesting?
We take the wraith out,get everybody through the gate before the hive ship comes.
You should be safe in atlantis till we can relocate you.
Unacceptable.
The balaransdon't deserve this.
They did nothingbut survive a sickness.
It could just as easilyhave happened to us.
If we turn these people over, we are no better than the wraith ourselves.
Look.
Even if you cooperatewith the wraith, there's no guaranteethey're going tokeep their word.
They may just kill all of you for being an inconvenience.
All right.
What do you want us to do?
Be ready to move.
Take onlywhat you can carry.
Let's go, rodney.
We're going to hit the wraith.
We are?
I'll come with you.
Not a chance, doc.
Colonel- I don't have timeto argue.
Get these people readyfor transport.
Once the gate's secure, we're going tohave to move fast.
Okay, but be careful.
If we're going to attack, we got to do itfrom over there.
Agreed.
As soon aswe take the gate, we should call insome jumpers.
It'll make evacuatingthe village a lot faster.
Not to mention we canuse the extra firepower in case the hive gets herebefore we're done.
Oh, let's hopeit doesn't come to that.
Colonel sheppard, come in.
Go ahead.
We have a problem.
More of the wraith havebegun arriving back.
They must have beenout on patrol.
How many?
Can we still get out?
No.
For the time being,we're stuck here.
You saidyou could get us out.
Well, there are morewraith than we thought.
The gate'stoo heavily guarded.
So we're trapped?
For the moment.
I haven't given up hope.
I just need time to developa new strategy.
What strategydo you propose we use to defeatan army of wraith?
Well, I don't know.
I haven'tthought of it yet.
Look,worst-case scenario-my team and I don't show up, the people back on atlantis will dial the gateand contact us by radio.
I can order back-up.
Will that happenbefore the hive ship arrives?
Probably not.
We can't waitthat long.
For all we know, the wraith could be lyingabout the ship.
And why would theydo that?
I'm just saying, we need to stallas long as possible.
This is madness.
Elson,we have to thinkof the safetyof our people.
Oh, I'm thinking aboutthe safety of your people.
All your people!
We can't relyon their help.
We have to makeour own decisions.
I need timeto think about this.
The time for thathas passed, elson.
We have to act.
And if you're notprepared to do so,then I will.
Jervis!
What's he going to do?
I don't know.
Where's novo and the others?
We sent them home.
Why?
Canthese people walk?
Well, if need be,but I thought we couldn't get them through the gate.
No, we can'tfor the time being, but I don't thinkthey're safe here either.
Grab your weapons.
Come with me.
Get out of my way.
She's not here, jervis.
Where is she?
What are wegoing to do, novo?
We have to get outof the village.
What the hell'sgoing on out there?
Some of the villagers decided to take matters into their own hands.
Well, let's go stop 'em.
First things first.
We got to move these people.
Grab some gear.
We don't wantany trouble.
Just hand over the balarans.
I don't think so.
Don't make thingsdifficult, colonel.
You had your chanceto save the village.
Now it's my turn.
Saving the village?
That's what you call this?
This isn't your affair.
It's up to us to decide how to deal with the situation.
Yes, it is,but jervis,this is not our way.
Our way?
Our way is what got usinto this situation in the first place!
We've already given them more than they could haveever asked for.
All right,why not just shoot them right now and get it over with?
It's a death sentenceanyway.
Shoot them yourself, and spare themthe torment of being torturedby the wraith.
You'd be doing thema favor.
Carson.
Go on!
Kill themall, then, if you're that desperateto be done with them!
You're making a big mistake.
Maybe,but at least we do so with a clear conscience.
Doesn't matter anyway.
What are you talking about?
My men are alreadyon the way to the gate with the first groupwe captured.
It's too late.
What are theygoing to do to us?
Be calm, sefaris.
You're scaring the others.
Maybe theyshould be scared.
We both know there'sno escape from this.
We cannot give up hope.
Face it, novo...
we've been betrayed.
They don't want us here.
They never did.
We were doomedthe moment we had toleave our homes.
And, to think...
as a survivor,I used to consider myself one of the lucky ones.
Is jervis taken care of?
He and his menhave been locked up.
They will not be giving usany more trouble, though I do not think it was necessary to stun them.
Felt good, though.
So what now?
Well, I got to getthe rest of the balarans out of the village.
There's no tellingif anybody else might feel the wayjervis does.
Where should wetake them?
The forest?
It's kind of a long haulat night.
Wait a minute.
What about the mine?
These tracks leadright down to it.
I mean,we just follow them.
No one gets lost.
Exactly.
All right.
Go get beckettand his patients.
Bring them here.
We'll round up everyone else.
What is it?
Something's happening.
What's going on?
You'll be moving shortly.
Where?
Your new home.
The hive shiphas just arrived.
Wait.
I have a propositionfor you.
What are youdoing, sefaris?
Something we should havedone a long time ago.
There is nothingyou have to offer me.
Don't be so sure.
There's someonehiding in the village.
He's of far greater value than all of us put together.
Sefaris, no- spare our lives,I'll take you to him.
A fair attempt...
but the answer's no.
My life, then.
How could youdo this?
I promise,it'll be worth your while.
I believethat is everybody.
Where's mckayand beckett?
Rodney,what's your status?
Still at the clinic.
Carson decided to pick upa few more supplies.
Tell him to get a move on.
We can't stay here forever.
Go ahead, colonel.
We'll catch up.
You sure?
Absolutely.
We'll be right behind you.
Let's get going.
Stay together.
Follow the tracks.
There.
That should do it.
Rodney, can you give mea hand here?
Remind meto bring a sherpanext time I visit.
Him.
He's the one.
You see?
I kept up my endof the bargain.
So you did.
Unfortunately,in light of your..."condition"...
keeping you aliveis far too risky.
Darts.
Rodney and carsonare still not here.
Rodney, come in.
Mckay?
You guys keep moving.
I'm going to goget him.
Ronon?
Teyla?
Go ahead.
The wraith just gotbeckett and mckay.
What?
How?
Took 'em up in a dart.
I think they're on their wayup to a hive.
How did the wraith know that they were in the village?
I think I got an idea.
Rodney.
Rodney, wake up.
god, is it me,or have they juiced up the stun weapons?
Oh, and theybrought us to the hive.
That's great.
What are wegoing to do?
Uh, just don't-don't panic.
Don't panic.
I have...
got lots of experience escaping from these things.
You do?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I've been in this situationdozens of times, always figured a way out.
How, exactly?
Uh, let's see.
Last time, teyla was posingas a queen, so...
you know,she had us released.
Not much chanceof that happening.
No, I guess not.
How about the timebefore that?
Ronon's friend tyrewas pretending to bein league with the wraith,but really he was on our side,so...
he let us out.
I'm starting to sensea pattern here.
You've actuallynever really escaped from one of these cellson your own?
First timefor everything, right?
Oh, god, rodney.
Well, just...
give me a minute.
I'll think ofsomething.
I hate to pressure you, rodney, but I don't thinkwe have a minute.
Bring them.
What is this place?
A lab belongingto my top scientist.
For the last six month she has been studying the deadly toxin that has infiltrated our food supply.
Where is he now?
Dead.
He was convincedhe had arrived at a foolproof wayto detect the poison.
To prove it, he decided to feed on one of his test subjects.
Guess that didn'twork out so well?
He diedin excruciating pain.
Needless to say, his research has beenstalled ever since.
And that's whereyou come in,doctor.
Me?
What do youexpect me to do?
The one who identified you said you had considerable expertisein dealing with the toxin.
He even said you hada hand in developing it.
If anyone can finda way to detect it,you can.
If you thinkI'm going to help you, you're sorely mistaken.
I anticipatedyou might say that, which is whyI'm preparedto offer youan incentive.
Thus far,I have spared the lives of the people on the planet below.
If you cooperate,I will continue to do so.
But if either of you try to cross me in any way- yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,we get the picture.
I knew you'd cometo see it my way.
Get to work.
Give me one reason why I shouldn'tblow your head off.
What for?
How did the wraith knowto grab beckett?
W- what do you mean?
Doctor's been captured?
I swear, I had nothingto do with that.
What about your men?
No.
No, there's no way.
The doctor has beennothing but good to us.
Well, they didn't juststumble across the clinic.
Somebodybrought them there.
Well, why don't youask the balarans?
They're the oneswith the most to gain.
One of themprobably thoughthe could save himself by turning in the doctor.
I told you they wereno good, colonel.
Damn it.
None of these consolesare hooked into anything.
I can't accessany of the ship's systems.
What about you?
You making any progress?
Carson?
Hey!
You okay?
I can't do this,rodney.
What do you mean?
You don'tunderstand it?
No.
I mean, I can't do it.
Do you realize what'll happen if the wraith find a way to detect the hoffan drug?
They'll hunt down every last person in this galaxy that has it.
That's hundreds of thousandsof people, rodney.
Not to mention the factthat, when they're finished, they can start feeding again,indiscriminately.
What's thealternative, huh?
We know the wraith aren't just going to let the matter drop.
We've seenwhat they can do.
They'll- they'll wipe out entire villages just to get a fewlike the balarans.
So what am isupposed to do?
You just stall.
You know, you make it looklike you're working, and...
till we figure outhow to get the hell out of here.
And then what?
Go about our business?
Pretend this never happened?
I never saidit was going to be easy.
But you can't solve all the galaxy's problemsin one day.
Look, I understand.
You feel guilty.
But this is not your fault.
You had no idea that any of this was going to happen.
One of the first thingsthey taught us in medical schoolwas "do no harm."
Now, I'm ata loss right nowto figure out how that'seven possible in this situation.
How are they doing?
They are frightened.
I've been trying toreassure them, but it is of little use.
How's it going in here?
We are getting by.
What is happeningin the village?
Ah, not much.
Everybody's hiding indoors.
Why hasn't the hiveship attacked yet?
Do you think it couldhave something to do with rodneyand carson's capture?
I don't know,but we should use this time to come up with a plan.
You got anything?
Maybe, but it's going totake some work.
What is it?
You got something?
No.
You sure?
You got one ofthose "beckett" faces.
Aye, I'm sure, rodney.
Just go back to work.
Where are you going?
To talkto the hive commander.
What?
Why?
There's somethingI need to tell him.
Oh, I knew it.
You found something.What is it?
Hey, open up!
Seriously, will youjust tell me?
You know I'm going togo through your stuff as soon as you're gone.
Just leave me be,rodney.
Open the door!
Will you just tell mewhat's going on?
I need to talkto the commander right away.
Listen to me, rodney.
I need you to stay here.
Don't worry.
Everything will be just fine.
Right.
Doctor.
I didn't expectto hear from you so soon.
This must be good news.
For some people,maybe.
I'm here to tell youthat I'm off the case.
What are you talking about?
I'm not going to doyour dirty work for you.
Find someone else.
There is no one else!
Then that's too badfor you, isn't it?
You're trying my patience,doctor.
You forget,I control the fateof the people below.
People will dieno matter what I do, so I'm not going todo anything.
If you refuseto complete the research, then there is onlyone other way that you could beof use to me.
And, trust me,you won't like it.
You don'tscare me anymore.
Do you understand?
I don't give a damnwhat you do to me.
Suit yourself.
I'm going to enjoy this...
very much.
What is this?
What have you done to me?
Turns outyou were closerto detecting the hoffan drugthan you thought.
It didn't take me longto perfect your blood test.
And onceI confirmed itusing samples that you provided, I decided to doone more test, just to be certain...
on me.
You have the toxin?
Indeed.
And now...
so do you.
Carson!
Hello, rodney.Can you delete this data?
Yeah, of course,but how did you- I talked the hive commanderinto feeding on me.
What?
What?
Why would youdo that?
I have the hoffan drug,rodney.
Michael must have given it to me as a defense against the wraith.
Well, why didn'tyou tell me?
Because you would havestopped me from going.
Yeah, because it's stupid!
What would've happenedif you were wrong?
I had to do something.
It's the only chance we hadto get away.
Now, will you help medestroy this research before they find outwhat I've done?
Right.
Okay, great.
The coast is clear.
What are we doing,exactly?
What do you think?
We're looking fora way off this ship.
By wandering aimlesslythrough the hallways?
I'm notwandering aimlessly.
I'm exploring.
There'sa big difference.
Bingo!
What are youdoing, rodney?
Hacking intothe ship's communications.
Are you surethat's a good idea?
Look, if we don't getin touch with sheppard, we don't stand any chanceof getting off this ship.
You're going tohave to cover me.
All right.
From which direction?
What was that?
Sheppard, do you read me?
Mckay, is that you?
Oh!
Thank god!
Okay, we are on the hive ship.
I've got beckett with me.
What the hellis going on up there?
We managed to escape.
Beckett helped.
Oh, that's great, 'cause we could reallyuse the help.
You?
Look, we're the onesstuck on the ship!
That's exactly where you need to be right now, because we need someone to take out the hive'smain weapons.
What?
We got a plan,but it's onlygoing to work if we take the hiveout of the picture.
It is bad enough that I hackedinto communications!
If I start messing aroundwith other systems, they'll track us downin a matter of minutes!
Rodney,it's the only way to get these peopleto safety.
Once that's done,we'll figure out a way to get you guys out of there.
All right.
I'll see what I can do.
Give me a few minutes.
That should be enough time.
You're a good man, rodney.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just don't forget us, okay?
We won'T.
Good luck.
Think he'll be ableto pull it off?
Well, he'd better.
Otherwise this thing'sgoing to go very badly.
Jervis.
Jervis.
What do you want?
We need to talk.
Well, I have nothingto say to you.
You were right all along.
I should havelistened to you.
The atlantians have no ideawhat they're doing.
They claim to have a plan,but, in reality, they're just puttingall our livesat risk.
Well...
It's a little late now,isn't it?
Is it?
If you went to the wraithat the gate right now, do you think you could get them to honor the original deal?
It's possible.
But...
I'd have to deliver all of the remaining outsiders at once.
They're in the mine,hiding inthe main chamber.
Are the other councilors on board with this?
The less they know about it,the better.
And you?
Can you reconcile thiswith your conscience?
Leave that to me.
You just make that deal.
What is it?
Search the ship.
How long is this going to take,rodney?
Do I rush youwhile you're performing complicated surgery?
Aye, it's been knownto happen.
All right, I'm in.
Now, I just need a fewminutes to disable the- oh, geez!
I thinkthey found us!
You figure?
Okay, you're going tohave to hold them off.
Am I, now?
Yeah.
Come on,carson.
You can do this,all right?
All right.
On three?
How about on one?
All right.
Right.
And, one!
How's it coming?
Almost there.
I can't hold them offforever, rodney!
We have to go!
Now!
All right, that's it!
I got it!
Let's go!
Where are we going?
The dart bay.
You know how tofly a dart?
Well, I've flownjumpers before.
I've been to tokyo before.
Doesn't meanI can speak japanese.
Well, how hardcan it be?
Do you even knowwhere you're going?
Yeah, I pulled upa schematic of the shipon that console.
What?
While we werebeing fired upon?
All right,that's sealed.
How long do you thinkit'll hold them?
Not very.
Well, come on.
What are you doing?
I'm getting in.
Well, we can't bothfit in here.
You're damn rightI can.
Now shove over!
You comfy?
Peachy.
What are you waiting for?
Well, it shouldjust start up.
Well, it didn'T.
I know, but itdoesn't make sense.
A canopy shouldform over our head.
Maybe there's some kindof a weight limit?
What's thatsupposed to mean?
I mean becausethere's two of us!
Well, maybe you needa key, or something?
It's nota volkswagen, carson!
Okay, look,these are obviouslythe flight controls.
That makes thatpropulsion, so...
where'd you come up withthat brilliant conclusion?
It's just common sense!
Come on!
Right, common sense.
What do youwant from me?
It's not likethere's labels!
Oh, not good!
You're telling me.
We needa new plan, rodney.
I know!
I'm thinking!
Well, whatever you do,think fast, because if those wraithcome through that door, we're both dead.
Rodney, we need to go.
Where?
I mean,we're trapped in here!
Then we need tofind a place to hide.
Come on.
What?
I have another idea.
It's a long shot,but it might work.
But you're going tohave to get off me!
Once you've taken these people, you're going to leavethe village, right?
For good?
This place is ofno concern to us.
All we wantis the balarans.
There's a large chamberup ahead.
That's where they're hiding.
Where are they?
I don't understand.
He said they were here!
I...
they should beright here!
What is this?
Think wekilled enough wraithto make a difference?
Guess we'll find out.
Nice work.
We've received wordof an explosionon the planet that's killed severalof our warriors.
The humans continueto attack our troops.
They're trying to escape.
Target the areaaround the portaland open fire.
Weaponsaren't responding!
What?
Dial the gate.
This is the first group.
There are more are coming.
We've got to move fast.
They won't take thislying down.
Let's go.
All right.
Come on, let's go.
Stay level, stay low.
We've lost contact withthe troops at the gate.
What about the twohuman prisoners?
They're nowhereto be seen.
They couldn't havejust disappeared.
It doesn't matter.
We can't letthe villagers escape.
Launch the darts.
Colonel!
Go, go, go!
Oh, crap!
Sheppard!
We've got more coming!
Go, go, go!
You're almost there.
Teyla!
Rodney!
Carson!
Oh, my god, it worked!
Rodney,you're a genius!
What'd you do?
I reprogrammed the culling beamto dematerialize us, then to dischargeonly from that point on.
Once the wraith losttheir main weapons,it was just a matter of timefor them to launch the darts.
Let's go!
There you are!
I've been calling you.
Oh, I'm sorry.
What's up?
Lorne's team just found a suitable planetfor the villagers.
They're going to move them outthis afternoon.
Aye, I heard.
I'm going with them.
Oh, right.
Of course.
Um, well, you want to...
grab some lunch?
We didn't get any chanceto socialize this time around, unless you count, you know, running through the halls of the hive ship as social time.
Aye, you're right.
Look, rodney, I'd love to, but I really need toget through this.
Well, what is it?
Dr.
Keller's researchon the serum that keeps my cells from deteriorating.
I think there might besomething in here to helpthe plague survivors, since I'm not gettingthe infections that they are.
Well, you don't haveto do this now.
I'll download the datato a drive.
You can just, you know,take it with you.
Actually, you can'T.
Mr.
Woolsey doesn't wantit leaving the base.
I'm sorry, rodney.
Well, I don't care.
I was just, you know,trying to stop youfrom whining about never seeing me.
All right.
Rodney, wait.
Now that I think of it,I am a wee bit peckish.
Besides, I can't solveall the galaxy's problems in one day, can I?
Well, I- shut it.
Right, let's go.
So?
Interested in anyonethese days?
Me?
No, I don'thave time for that.
You're a terribleliar, dr.
Mckay.
Tell me,tell me, tell me.
