SHEPPARD: Colonel,  this is Sheppard.
  What you see on the ground  is just an illusion.
  Concentrate your  fire on the ships.
  Fire at the ships!  Fire at the ships!
  Bates, snap out of it!
  They're everywhere, sir.
  Take that thing down!
  Teyla.
  Teyla?
  SHEPPARD: Sir, the Colonel's  been taken.
  The gate's coming on again.
  Two enemy ships approaching.
  SHEPPARD: Let them go.  There are friendlies on board.
  Look at the dialing device.
  Burn those  symbols into your mind.
  Son of a...
  Help! Help me!
  I can't find my father.
  Here it comes.
  What am I looking for?
  There.
  Another part of  the force field  just failed.
  I don't think we  have much time.
  How are we doing?
  If we can just buy  ourselves another day,  maybe we could...
  The city is sacrificing  parts of itself
  in order to maintain  these main areas,
  but catastrophic  failure is inevitable.
  Not in my wildest  dreams did I hope
  to find the lost  city of the Ancients
  so completely untouched,  so pristine,
  and we have no choice  but to walk away from this?
  In order to save it.
  To save it for whom?
  We don't have enough power  to send a message.
  As far as Earth is  concerned, we're just
  going to be missing  and presumed lost.
  We'll be back. We'll  find a power source  somewhere in Pegasus.
  We have yet to hear  from Colonel Sumner.
  We've got no idea  what's out there.
  We can't wait.  It is time to go, now.
  Attention, all personnel.
  This is Weir.
  (RUMBLING)
  Stand by for  immediate evacuation.
  Dial the gate.
  We've got  an incoming wormhole.
  I'm reading  Lieutenant Ford's  identification code.
  Let them in.
  Step in, folks.
  Move away from the puddle.
  Major Sheppard!
  WEIR: Major Sheppard,  who are all these people?
  Survivors from the settlement.
  We were attacked.  Sumner and some of  our men were taken.
  What's going on?
  We are in no position  to help anyone right now.
  What the hell's  going on here?
  We were about to  abandon the city.
  Going back there is  a really bad idea.
  Major Sheppard, the shield  is about to fail,
  and the ocean  is about to come  crashing in on us.
  Do you have a better  place for us to go?
  Jinto, you have  another address  we can gate to?
  Yes, many.
  He's just a boy.
  I am Jinto.
  She's pleased  to meet you.
  The shield is collapsing.
  I'm dialing an address.
  No, wait.
  She's right.
  We're moving!
  We're on the surface.
  I was hoping for another day.
  It looks like  we just got a whole  lot more than that.
  Let's not waste it.
  People, listen up.
  No one gets to sit  down until they clear
  two pieces of  equipment off this deck.
  Now, let's go.
  The last Zero-Point  Module is depleted,  but limited power has returned
  now that our own generators  aren't going to  hold back an ocean.
  Life support  systems are working,
  but the planet's  atmosphere is breathable,
  notwithstanding  the inevitable allergens.
  So now could our  naquadah generator
  supply enough power  to the shield for  defensive purposes?
  Not even close.
  On the surface  without a shield?  We're target practice.
  I'm acutely  aware of that, Major,
  but thank you  for reinforcing it.
  When can you tell me  where the Wraith took  Colonel Sumner and the others?
  Even with the six symbols  Lieutenant Ford provided,
  there are still  hundreds of permutations...
  720.
  Yes.
  I knew that, of course.  I'm just surprised you did.
  Take away the  coordinates you can't
  get a lock on,  and that's your one,
  and when you find it,  send a MALP.
  Major?
  A word.
  Let me guess.
  You're not going to  let me rescue my people.
  Major, you don't even  know if they're alive.
  You don't leave people  in the hands of the enemy.
  And the fact that  we are having this  conversation in private
  lets me know  you know damn  well that it's wrong
  and it would  totally undermine  your leadership.
  So as ranking  military officer...
  All right, just shut up  and listen to me for  a moment, all right?
  Come on, what do we  know about the Wraith?
  One of the few  things we do know
  is that they're the enemy  that defeated the Ancients.
  When we first began  to use the stargate  we found on Earth,
  we got ourselves  into serious trouble.
  Why?  I don't need  a history lesson.
  Because the  people in charge
  didn't consider  the ramifications  before they reacted.
  They took our people.  How am I supposed to react?
  And we're defenseless.  You said so yourself.
  How do you know  going off on some  half-assed rescue mission
  isn't going to bring  them all right back  here to our doorstep?
  Maybe it will,
  but it's the right  thing to do.
  Why? Because it is.
  John...  If we're not  going to do this,
  and I mean right now,
  let's just turn  tail and pack up,  because they're coming.
  You don't know that.
  Our people are  in the hands of  the enemy, Doctor.
  Do you know what that means?
  It is just a matter of time
  before the Wraith figure  out that this is the  base of our operation.
  I just need more information.
  I mean, who knows?  Maybe we could  negotiate a peaceful...
  Peaceful? Are you kidding?
  We weren't there for  more than a few hours  before they showed up.
  Is it possible they  came because of you?
  And that one of  these people you brought
  back here with  you tipped them off?
  It's possible.
  See, that is  exactly the kind of
  snap decision  I'm referring to.
  They're not all bad people.
  And you know,  if we're going to
  stick around here,  we need friends.
  Okay, I see your point.
  Now, you see mine.
  I will not authorize  a rescue mission
  unless I'm sure  there's at least a  remote chance of success.
  I'm not sending  more good people,
  including you,  to their deaths.
  Okay.
  Are you all right?
  Where are we?
  Any idea what to expect?
  No.
  Your friend was  the one who said
  the Wraith would come  if we went down  into the ruins.
  Perhaps you should have  heeded his warning.
  How do I know  he's not the one  who told them?
  (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
  Someone comes.
  I'm Colonel Marshall...
  (GROWLING SOFTLY)
  No! Please...
  Take me in his place.
  No, take me.
  We're the ones  you're after, right?
  I'm their leader.
  They have no need to  explain themselves.
  Yeah, I got that.
  We're receiving  visual telemetry.
  I can't see anything.
  No atmospheric  readings at all.
  Wait, what was that?
  Rotate the camera.
  Well, there goes that MALP.
  It's in space.
  It's in high  orbit around a planet  on the far side of the galaxy.
  Are you sure this  is the right address?
  It's the only one we  could get a lock on.
  Very well.
  Shut it down.
  I'm sorry.
  Come with me, Major.
  You think you can fly it?
  What do you say we find out?
  (DOOR OPENING)
  Dr. Beckett,  what was it you  wanted me to see?
  These cells have  none of the normal
  human inhibiting  proteins whatsoever.
  That gives them an incredible  ability to regenerate.
  What about the movement  Major Sheppard saw?
  As far as  independent behavior,
  I'd say that anything he saw
  was caused by  a residual command language  in the severed nerve endings.
  All right, anything else?
  The being this  arm belonged to,
  if I was a betting man,  I'd say it was old,  very, very old.
  How old?
  As long as the cells  are properly nourished,
  I don't see a life  form like this ever
  dying of natural  aging the way we do.
  And they'd be  bloody hard to kill.
  I don't like  the sound of that.
  I don't blame you.
  (ENGINE HUMMING)
  What is that noise?
  I... I don't...
  He was right here.
  Major!
  You said you wanted  a tactical advantage?
  All right, so you  can fly that thing.
  It doesn't mean you  can pull off a rescue.
  Doctor, this is why  you brought me here.
  Ready?
  I have no idea.
  This technology is  so far beyond us.
  I mean, we haven't a clue  what we're dealing with.
  I mean, for all  I know, we could...
  Yeah. Ready.
  FORD: All right, boys,  get ready to go.
  Gateship Oneready to go.
  Gateship One?
  A little puddle  jumper like this?
  It's a ship that  goes through the gate.  Gateship One.
  No, no, no,  that's all wrong.
  Dr. McKay thought  it was cool.
  Okay. Well, it's official.
  You don't get  to name anything.
  Ever.
  Flight, this is  Puddle Jumper.
  We're go to launch.
  This is Flight.  I thought we were  going with Gateship.
  Negative, Flight.
  Stand by.
  It's a ship that  goes through the gate.
  Fine.
  Puddle Jumper,  you are clear for launch.
  Dial it up, Lieutenant.
  Be safe.
  This is cool.
  It looks like you've  got the hang of it.
  I tell you what, Lieutenant.
  I know a lot of fighter pilots  who'd kill to fly this thing.
  It's like it reads your mind.
  Did you do that?
  I was just wondering  where we go from here.
  I'll take that as a yes.
  So how do we find  them once we land?
  I've been thinking  about that, too.
  (BEEPING)
  Now I'm thinking about  a nice turkey sandwich.
  Worth a try.
  (HISSING)
  Lock and load.
  All right, teams of two.
  Learn what you can  and lay down the defenses  as you see fit.
  I want to be able to  light this place up  if we have to.
  Two clicks,  you're clear to talk.  Yes, sir.
  Do not engage the enemy.
  You're with me.
  (WHOOSHING)
  You must feel hunger by now.
  (SNARLING)
  I thought getting in  was going to be  the hard part.
  That's the first  one we've seen.
  (BEEPING)
  The moving dot should be him.
  Go over there.
  Yeah, that's you.
  So...
  We've got ourselves  a life signs detector.
  We can name it later.
  TREYLA: Major?  (SHUSHING)
  Are you all right?  How did you find us?
  Is my son alive?
  He's well and  waiting for you.
  Where's Colonel Sumner?
  He was taken by the Wraith.
  We don't know where.
  How about when?
  Not long.
  I knew something  had to go wrong.  (CLICKING RADIO)
  This is Stackhouse.  Go ahead, sir.
  How about a diversion  in a little bit?
  You're going to need to  make some noise out there.
  Yes, sir.
  Rig up enough  C4 to blow a hole
  and get these  people out of here  on my signal, all right?
  I can find the  Colonel with this.
  There aren't that  many Wraith around.
  I should be  able to do this.
  If I'm not back in 20 minutes,  blow the cells and get out.
  You're the only one  who can fly these  people out of here.
  Yeah, I'm going to  fly us all out of here,  including the Colonel.
  I'm saying I should  be the one to go, sir.
  20 minutes, I'll find him.
  What do you call yourself?
  Colonel Marshall Sumner,  United States Marine Corps.
  So little fear.
  Is it valor
  or ignorance?
  We travel through the stargate  as peaceful explorers.
  You must eat, yet you  resist your hunger. Why?
  Why have you taken  my people prisoner?
  You trespassed upon  our feeding ground.
  Feeding ground?
  All living things must eat.
  In this, I am sure  we are similar.
  You feel hunger even now.
  I can sense it.
  Yet you resist.
  Why?
  Why do you care?
  (SIGHING)
  Hunger
  is distasteful.
  It looks to me  like the food didn't  agree with him.
  There, we are quite  dissimilar, Colonel Sumner.
  We don't require
  our food to agree with us.
  What do you  call your world?
  (DISTORTED ECHOING)
  What do you call your world?
  What do you call your world?
  Earth.
  It is not among our stars.
  No.
  Tell me of Earth.
  How many more are  there of your kind?
  Thousands?
  Millions?
  More.
  Our feeding ground  has not been so rich  in 10,000 years.
  Your will is strong.
  This one
  begged for its life.
  Is that the kind of  treatment I can expect for  myself and my people?
  As I've said,  all living things must eat.
  Then we're done talking.
  I think not.
  Kneel.
  Kneel.
  I have not  tasted such strength
  in so long.
  Go to hell.
  Earth first.
  (SCREAMING)
  How many years  must I take from you
  before you tell us  what I wish to know?
  Or shall I take them all?
  (SUMNER SCREAMING)
  Where is this  new feeding ground?
  I won't.
  (SUMNER GROANING)
  (GROANING)
  (SNARLING)
  Bring him.
  How's the hand feeling?
  Much better.
  I'm sorry to hear that.
  How did this come to you?
  I don't remember.
  (SNARLING)
  Light it up.
  (ROARING)
  Cover!
  (GASPING)
  That has to kill you.
  (GROANING)  (GRUNTING)
  How did you find me?
  Tread marks. Standard issue.  Sir, let's go.
  WRAITH: You don't know  what you have done.
  We are merely the caretakers  for those that sleep.
  When I die,  the others will awaken.
  (GROANING)
  All of them.
  (MACHINE BEEPING)
  What's she  talking about?
  How many are left?
  (WRAITH STIRRING)
  Sir, we need to leave.
  Base, we're on the go.
  So are we.
  Colonel Sumner?  Negative!
  Dr. Weir!
  We're getting reports in  from all over the city.
  There's some pretty  interesting stuff.
  We've only been able to  provide power to  certain sections,
  but even then,  the things that are  coming up are just...
  I should never  have let them go.
  For what it's worth,
  you made the  right decision.
  Give them time.
  Major, the Jumper is secure  for the moment,  but we have a big problem!
  Lieutenant, take our six.
  I'm going to take  them back to the Jumper!
  I'll be right behind you.
  There's nothing there.
  I'm sure I saw something.
  Only what the Wraith  wish you to see.
  Firing your weapon  will reveal our position.
  Come on!
  Get in!
  Thank you, sir.
  Let's try not to  make a habit of this.
  We have incoming!
  Okay.
  Now what am I thinking?
  Everybody okay back there?
  We are well enough.
  I hope that was  the hard part.
  Crap.
  I don't think  we've gotten to  the hard part yet.
  What can we do?
  We're safe as long  as they can't see us.
  They don't have to.
  There's only one  way for us to go.
  The minute we  activate the stargate,
  they can start shooting  blind and blow us away  on our approach.
  Then how can  we get through?
  We'll have to draw  them away from the gate  and double back.
  Be prepared to dial  the gate on my mark.
  Do you see anything  like a weapons  console over there?
  Try to go invisible again.
  I tried. It must be damaged.
  Dial the gate.
  Offworld activation.
  Raise the shield.
  Be ready to punch in your  code on the next pass.
  What's the range  on these things?
  Do we have an  identification code?
  Nothing yet.
  Enter your code.
  Hang on.
  I'm reading  Lieutenant Ford's IDC.
  Let them in.
  WEIR: Give them  a few more seconds!
  We're going too fast.
  I know.
  Reactivate the shield.
  (EXPLOSIONS)
  Ladies and gentlemen,  welcome to Atlantis.
  Please remain seated
  till the Puddle Jumper'scome  to a full and complete stop.
  (VOICES MURMURING)
  I guess this is  home now.
  I guess so.
  I'm thinking of  a little place  with an ocean view.
  Out of the way.
  Major, Lieutenant.
  I thought the occasion  merited opening this.
  Compliments of  General O'Neill.
  Cheers.
  You did good, John.
  I don't know about that.
  Hey.
  There was no way  you could have  saved Colonel Sumner.
  I have to live with it.
  I'm beginning to  think you were right.
  I have made things much worse.
  I haven't made us  many more friends out there.
  No?
  Look around you.
  I agree, Major Sheppard.
  You have earned both  my friendship and  that of my people.
  With our help,  you will make  many more friends.
  How come I never  make friends like that?
  You need to get out more.
  We're in another galaxy.  How much more out  can you get?
  Is there lemon in this?
  One more thing, Major.
  Something I'd  like you to sleep on.
  I have a few  thoughts on it myself.
  Thoughts about what?
  Who the members of  your team might be.
  My team?
  Well, you are  the ranking  military officer now.
  Or do you need to  be reminded of that?
  We need to get back out there,  do what we came to do.
  You realize that could  get us into all  sorts of trouble.
  Right?
  SHEPPARD: Stargate Atlantis  will return.
