Stargate: Atlantis s05e01 Episode Script

Previously on Stargate Atlantis I believe I had a vision last night.
I saw Kanaan, the father of my son.
- Save us.
- Where are you? Dart! I came for you, just like you asked.
Like I asked.
- Michael.
- I was the one in your visions.
- I was sent back in time? - No, in fact, you were sent forward.
I've loaded all the intel we got on Michael after your disappearance, including the address where we found Teyla.
Quickly.
- You must release me.
- Teyla.
- John.
- I know where Teyla is.
My child is of no concern to you.
I have great plans for him.
I think we're too early, though, but he's going to bring her here to have the baby.
Colonel, it's a booby trap.
We've got to get out of here, now! This is perfect.
Just what I need.
It truly has been a hectic several weeks.
Try four years.
Very true.
In a way, it makes these calmer moments even more special.
I cherish these times, when it's just you and me.
Me too.
You you've got an early morning.
I never got to properly thank you.
For what? For what? For rescuing me.
From Michael.
I never gave up hope because I knew I knew that you would come for me, John.
I know this sounds crazy, but I don't remember rescuing you.
You don't remember rescuing her, because you didn't, just like you never rescued me.
Sheppard! Hey, buddy.
- What happened? - Michael's compound, it collapsed on us.
I got to move.
I think I I Yeah, hold on.
Let me take a look.
What the hell was that? It's just a little scrape, no big deal.
What about the others? I don't know.
We got separated.
Try them on the radio.
There's no signal.
There's too much interference.
I'm pretty sure my leg is broken.
I think I'm remarkably fine.
Well, isn't that wonderful.
That brings me great comfort.
Thank you.
I don't think we're that deep.
I can see daylight.
If I could just - I'm sorry! - I just posted Edison at the entrance to the building.
He'll get help.
That is, assuming he wasn't hit by falling debris.
Doc, The Dedalus left Atlantis while we were still confirming Sheppard's story.
With that kind of a headstart, they should be here in less than three hours, so one way or the other, help is on the way.
I'm sorry, I'm just not good in tight spaces.
But there's no bad guys around, okay? No bad guys, just a lot of debris, so if you could please just sit tight and try not to make the ceiling collapse, that would be great.
Okay.
No bad guys.
Just got to Just sit tight.
- When did you get this? - Moments ago.
Change of plans.
We're setting a new course.
Our compound has been compromised.

Timing by: Golgi, Linwelin, Malikay, Pikes, Shaft.
Proofreading by: Golgi, Linwelin, Egwene.
Unscheduled off-world activation.
It's lieutenant Edison's IDC.
- What happened? Where's the rest of your team? - There was a massive explosion.
Everyone was in the main compound.
The whole building imploded on itself.
- Were there any survivors? - Radios are down.
I don't know.
I just thought I should get back here, and No, you did the right thing.
Get him to the infirmary.
- How far away is the Dedalus? - Still two hours out.
We can't wait that long.
Have the combat engineers gear up and have Doctor Keller ready her away team.
Yes, ma'am.
- What are you doing? - I'm claustrophobic.
I'm trying to keep my mind busy, which is hard, because you know, it's my mind.
Well, there's no way anything useful survived that implosion.
Speak for yourself.
You know what I mean, Doc.
Look, I found a bunch of computer parts, all right? The motherboards are all fried or snapped, but some of these hard drives look like they might still be intact.
If I could just get the power to Hello, hello.
- What, is it something good? - I don't know.
There's a lot of information.
Hold on.
I think I just hit the jackpot.
What, some way to broadcast a signal? Let people know our location, speed up the rescue, what? No, although in hindsight, I would say, you're right, that should probably be considered "the jackpot", but no, this is a hard drive.
I can only access what's on it.
Which is? It's Michael's wiki.
It survived the explosion.
- The what? - Michael's database.
It's a large chunk of it, maybe the whole thing too.
I mean, we've got base schematics, medical research information, list of planets.
- Do you know what this means? - Yeah.
Yeah, it means we're still stuck here and I still have a broken leg.
Yeah, in the short term, but if we get out of here If? We have him on the run.
He'd be finished.
Look, if Michael Oh, no.
What? Look, I don't want to concern you any more than you actually already are, but if I'm reading this correctly, then Michael is - Shut up.
- No, you shut up.
This is important.
- If Michael is - Quit making noise! It's footsteps.
Okay, revise that.
Start making noise.
Down here! - We're down here! - Help! All right, we've got four lifesigns in two different locations.
First two should be right beneath us.
- Listen - We're down here! McKay, is that you? Oh, thank God.
Yes! - I'm trapped down here with Lorne.
- Are you okay? - Were fine! - Hey Doc! Right, right, right.
Okay, Lorne's got a broken leg.
McKay, stay put.
We've got combat engineers here.
We're going to dig you out.
Well hurry up! We'll work as fast as is safe, Rodney.
No, no, no, you don't understand.
I just found out that when the self-destruct is initiated, it's automatically programmed to send a subspace burst.
Michael's probably already on his way! It doesn't look like they're too far down.
We should be able to get them out inside of an hour.
Well, what about the other two? They're a lot deeper.
Well, the Deadalus will be here soon, so then we can just beam them out, right? As long as Micheal doesn't get here first.
All right, let's get started! Rivers, take a Jumper into orbit and keep a lookout for Micheal's ship.
Let me know the second he gets here.
Yeah, right through here.
Okay.
One, two, three.
This thing ain't moving.
I wonder what happened to the others.
I don't know.
It happened pretty quick.
I doubt that many people made it out.
So stupid.
Of course the building was booby trapped.
- I should have seen that coming.
- Yeah, well, none of us did.
- Yeah, but - What? I'm the guy, you know like "the guy".
Everyone knew what we were getting into.
We all knew how dangerous it was so don't beat yourself up about it.
You need to start thinking about how to crawl your way out here.
No way.
I'm serious.
You just keep moving up, keep moving the debris.
Work your way up.
I'm not leaving you behind, Sheppard.
I'm not trying to be a hero here.
It's a selfish thing.
I need you to dig a hole so that the rescuers can come down and get me.
It's the wrong way, chief.
We get this beam out of you, we get you free, we dig ourselves out together.
Deal? You ain't going to listen to me one way or the other, are you? Great.
Deal.
Excellent.
This is all very good.
Your son should be making an appearance any day now.
I thought that would make you happy.
I can't imagine carrying a child inside of you is very comfortable.
I will not harm him.
- Why can't you just accept that? - Because I know you.
All these worlds, filled with people, busying themselves with their pathetic lives.
They come and they go.
They live and they die, and the galaxy is no better for it.
But your son your son will be an instrument of change.
He will be remembered for the ages.
And what of his mother? You speak often of his future, but never of mine.
Why is that? I had hoped that you would - I had hoped that you would understand - It's time.
Very well.
Remove the restraints, and post a guard outside this door.
I must escape before our child is born.
He will kill me once I am of no use to him.
- I can't.
- Kanaan, why? - It is too dangerous.
- For who? He will kill us.
Kill us all.
Yes, he will, whether you help me or not.
You are disposable to him.
Can you not see that? Listen to me.
Kanaan! Please Please! Hi.
Hi.
Come over here.
I'm fine.
It's just a couple scrapes.
Rodney McKay refusing medical help.
Now I really know there's something wrong.
Seriously, I'm okay.
Just, you should look after Lorne.
Any survivors? We found two other life signs but they're buried under a lot more debris than you were, so it's going to take a little longer.
We've got people working on it.
Know who it is? Not yet.
- Did you find Teyla? - No.
But I think Sheppard was right.
He was gonna bring her here.
We just came to soon.
- Colonel Carter.
- Go ahead.
Ma'am, a Wraith cruiser just came out of hyperspace.
Michael's here.
Multiple life signs.
It must be the Atlantians.
They're combing the debris, but they must know it's too dangerous to stay here.
They're searching for survivors.
This might not be a total loss after all.
Everyone, fall back to your Jumpers! We got incoming! Good shot.
All right, let's fall back to our Jumpers.
We've still got men trapped down here.
They're gonna have to wait.
We're no good to them out in the open like this.
Let's go! Fall back! - Cloak the ship.
- Got it! We're getting a reading.
The Gate's been activated.
It's classic Wraith battle technique.
They dial the Gate, lock everyone out, make sure they can't escape.
- Well it's a good one.
- Yeah, well, they're not idiots.
We got more darts on the way, and they've already got troups on the debris field.
They must know we've got people down there.
- How many Jumpers do we have? - Three including this one.
I'm reading over twenty darts.
- But they can't see us, though, right? - Not right now, but we can't fire while we're cloaked.
Look, it's gonna take them time to dig them out, the same as us.
We wait for the Deadalus.
Rodney, take us into orbit.
Darts reporting minimal resistance.
They've already started searching the debris.
We must work fast.
I need them alive.
There it is.
- Is that Michael's cruiser? - Well, it looks like it.
Does that mean that Teyla's on that ship? It's possible.
Well, that's great, though, right? When the Deadalus shows up, we can just beam her up too, no? It's not as easy as that.
Chances are Michael's already removed her transmitter, and even if he hasn't, Wraith cruisers surround themselves with an electromagnetic jamming field.
No beaming in, no beaming out.
We're so close.
Come on, one more try.
- I'm feeling pretty weak, buddy.
- You're not quiting on me yet, are you? No.
I was thinking about it.
That wasn't part of our deal.
You keep adding things to this "deal" of ours.
Right.
Ready? One, two, three.
You need to get out of here.
Would you leave me if I was stuck under there? Yes.
You hear that? What? It sounds like digging.
Yeah.
I hear it.
I hear it.
We're down here! We're coming for you! Just stay calm! And you were gonna quit.
Status? Reading another ship in orbit.
It's a Wraith cruiser.
Shields up.
Ready forward beam weapons.
Sir, I'm receiving a coded transmission from Colonel Carter.
- Sam, what's going on? - Long story short, that's Michael's cruiser and he likely has Teyla on board.
- So I can't blow him out of the sky? - No, I'm afraid not.
We're taking fire, sir.
Shields are holding.
They managed to get the shields up before we hit them.
That's unfortunate.
Transfer power to the hyperdrive.
What about the Darts? Acceptable losses.
- He's running.
- Not if I can help it.
- Target his hyperdrive.
- Yes, sir.
We've lost hyperdrive.
I guess we're fighting after all.
Shields are down to 80%.
Deadalus, we still have two people on the planet.
It's just a matter of time before the hybrids reach them.
Can you scan for transmitter signals? Stay calm.
We're almost there.
I'm gonna stop making fun of combat engineers as of today.
I promise.
Is Harris up there with you? Yeah, he's here.
Don't worry, we'll have you out soon.
I thought Harris was on leave until next month.
If we get outta here, beer's on me, boys.
What do you like, Duff beer or Oprah Ale? Duff.
Well, they don't watch The Simpsons or drink beer.
Michael's hybrids? I bet he was tipped off when the building blew.
I told you, you should have gotten out of here.
Yeah, whatever.
I can't reach my gun.
Here.
All right, how do you wanna play this? Shoot till we can't shoot anymore.
All right.
It's been a pleasure.
Same.
We got 'em.
It's Colonel Sheppard and Ronon.
- Can you beam them up? - We'd have to drop our shields.
I kind of think that'd be a bad idea right now.
Look, if Micheal gets his hands on them, he'll kill them.
We don't have a choice.
All right, get ready to drop the shields.
As soon as they're down, - beam Ronon and Sheppard directly to the infirmary.
- Yes, sir.
Sam, you might as well bring your Jumpers onboard at the same time.
Understood, we're in position.
All right.
Do it.
We've got 'em.
Jumpers are in the bay.
Shields up! Enemy vessel's raised shields again, - but we scored several direct hits.
- Keep firing! How are we doing? Not so good.
We've lost sublight, hyperdrive, and Asgard weapons.
- Life support's down to 50%.
- What about the shields? Well, they're holding for now, but we're basically dead in the water.
Don't touch me.
We thought we'd lost you there.
Yeah, well, for a second, I thought we'd lost me.
It's gonna be okay, though, right? Yeah You need some serious work, but you should, you know, live to fight another day and all that.
So, what's going on? I guess Micheal showed up before the Daedalus Yeah, we had to lower the shields to beam you up here.
Sorry about that.
Well, I'm sure McKay and Colonel Carter will be able to fix it.
McKay's alive? Yeah.
Yeah, he and Lorne were the only two to make it out of the rumble.
- Patch me up.
I need to get back out there.
- No, no, look, you will be fine, but you're far from it now.
You've lost a lot of blood.
You need surgery and a transfusion.
I mean, this can't wait.
Look, Doc, Michael's here.
That means Teyla's probably on the ship.
I'm too close to sit here and do nothing.
You're not gonna be sitting around doing nothing, you're gonna be lying here in surgery.
That's gotta be like There's gotta be a quick fix, just - No.
- I need a few hours.
I'm sorry, I can't.
I have had the chance to rescue a teammate before, and it slipped through my hands.
I am not letting that happen again.
- Nice one.
- Of course.
Life support's still not working at full power, but at least we won't freeze to death.
Well, I've almost got sublight back online but the way these guys are taxing our shields, we won't have any power to spare anyway.
We need to take out the cruiser's main weapons.
Yeah, with what? We can launch a 302 attack.
That's what I was thinking.
Colonel.
Dr.
Keller said you were out of commission.
She revised her diagnosis.
Look, we may have an idea.
Maybe a way to get Teyla back.
We need to take out the cruiser's main weapons.
Easiest way for us to do that right now is to launch an attack with 302s.
I wouldn't exactly call that easy.
They'll just send out Darts to intercept them.
- That's what we're counting on.
- In order to launch the Darts, they'll have to open the bay doors.
If we have a cloaked Jumper in place, a small team should be able to sneak onto the cruiser undetected Find Teyla, bust her out, and blast our way home.
As a rule, I like to keep daring rescues down to one a day.
Look, shields are already down to 20%.
It's just a matter of time before they fail completely.
She's over there, Steven, counting on us.
I won't take no for an answer.
All right, take a cloaked Jumper.
Radio us when you're in position.
- What really happened in the infirmary? - Nothing.
So you're telling me, if I go down there right now and talk to Jennifer, she'll tell me that you're fit for duty.
- Just trying to do the job.
- So am I, and part of my job is determining whether or not you're gonna be a liability on this mission.
I have more respect for you than any commanding officer I've ever had, but I'm getting on that Jumper, end of story.
I'll surrender for court-martial when I'm done.
You know, Ronon and I could probably handle this.
Maybe you should stay with the Jumper.
Or not.
- Daedalus, we're in position.
- Confirmed.
Launch 302s.
Cue the Darts.
- It's closing.
- I see that.
- It's closing quickly.
- I got it.
Daedalus, we're in.
It worked.
Cruiser just lost main weapons.
Let's hope that Sheppard has the same luck.
All right, this won't take more than a couple of seconds.
That's troubling.
What? Michael's a lot further ahead with his repairs than I would have thought.
Hyperdrive's almost back on-line.
We got to make this quick.
- What do you mean, "quick"? - Like, 15 minutes is not a lot of time.
No, it's not a lot of time.
So why don't you tell us where Teyla is already? All right, all right, all right.
Got it! Okay.
Follow me.
Or you - John? - We're going to get you out of here! Not a moment too soon.
We got to get you back to the Jumper.
You okay? - It's my baby.
- What? Is something wrong? No.
I've been having contractions for over an hour now.
They're very close.
My baby's coming.
God! I'm sorry.
I just need a moment.
I'd carry her, buddy, but I'm not really up to it.
- Yeah, oka.
You ready? - No.
I can walk.
I just need a moment.
Say, friends, we have a small issue here.
Oh, what now? Looks like Michael got his hyperdrive back on-line.
It's powering up.
- Can you shut it down? - Not from this little thing.
Look, the drive room is down the corridor.
You slap a C-4 charge on that thing, it should certainly shut it down.
- Where? - Here.
I've a map.
All right.
Ronon, you're with me.
I'll be right back.
Everything's gonna be fine.
You take care of her.
So how you doing? The pain is very great.
Yeah.
Yeah, I had a kidney stone once.
Incredibly painful.
Same kind of thing, from what I'm told, so I hear you.
Actually, my cat and I had one at the same time.
We were not fun to be around, I'll tell you that much.
He got his 'cause he was eating too much dry cat food, I got mine 'cause I wasn't drinking enough liquids.
That's why you always see me hydrating.
I have no desire to experience that kind of pain again.
- It's just - Fascinating story.
Thank you.
Yeah, it's no problem.
Okay just, just breathe? Breathe, okay? - What are you doing? - Lamaze.
It's supposed to help with the Look, I don't know what I'm doing.
What do you need me to do? Okay, there, there.
There they are.
- The baby is coming! - Just hang on.
We'll get you to the infirmary on the Deadelus and Keller can pull it out.
The baby is coming now! - It's almost powered up.
- Give me your C-4.
- Here, give it to me.
- I got it.
Give it to me.
You don't have to do everything.
All right.
You ready? Let's go.
All right.
Let's hope we're far enough away.
Yeah, we'll see.
Fire in the hole.
- What happened? - The hyperdrive just exploded.
No, that's impossible.
Main power is out across much of the ship.
- An accidental overload? - It doesn't appear that way.
How did they do that? I will look into it.
They're onboard.
How did they get onboard? - Well, can't you just hold it in? - No, Rodney! This doesn't happen this quick.
No one has babies this quick.
My water broke quite a while ago.
I've been trying to Oh, I can see its head! That's good.
That's a good thing, Rodney.
Yeah, but am I supposed to touch it? Am I allowed to touch it? I don't know what to do! Rodney, calm down.
I need you to be calm.
But I'm not an MD.
I've never been an MD! People have been having babies for thousands of years, most of them without doctors.
But before doctors the infant mortality rate was incredibly high.
It was something like one in three, I think.
Look, a doctor is a very important part of this process, trust me.
There are no doctors around.
You have to do this! We don't have a choice.
Okay, okay.
Now, you need to catch him.
- Catch him? - Yes.
You need to catch him - when I push him out.
- Oh, God.
Okay, well just Underhand him, all right? I've never been good at baseball.
Please.
Okay, I can do this.
All right, look, I may have panicked a little back there, but we're gonna do this.
I am great with kids.
The little ones, the ones who don't talk back.
Here he comes.
Okay.
Almost there.
Almost there! I caught him! I caught him! He's a boy.
- Watch his head.
- Right, right.
Okay, so, cut.
Do I get to cut the cord? I get to cut the cord, then, right? Okay, Okay.
There you go.
Yeah.
Okay.
So Right, Teyla, I'd like to introduce you to your son.
I caught it! It didn't hit the floor or anything.
He did a wonderful job.
That's good, that's You did good, Rodney.
All right, we've got to get you out of here.
Ronon, you're going to need to help me.
Ready? - Why isn't it de-cloaking? - Let me see.
Did you break it? I don't know.
We parked the Jumper right here.
- Yes.
- One hundred percent.
Someone stole the Jumper? This is not good I told you, you should have stayed here.
How the hell are we supposed to get off the ship now? I just delivered a baby.
That's not enough for today? Don't they have escape pods or things like that on a cruiser? No, they Wait I know We need to get back to a data terminal.
A lot of their internal power's down.
Maybe I can short out the jamming code.
We can get the Daedalus to beam us out.
Great, lead the way.
Don't shoot! Put me down.
It's all right, John.
This is Kanaan.
He is the father.
This is our chance.
These are the friends I told you of.
They can help you get back to your old self, but first you have to help us.
We must get off this ship.
Do you know a way? Yes.
- Follow me.
- No offence, Teyla, but I don't trust this guy.
He was trying to save me before.
I trust him.
Give me your weapon.
What's your plan? Sir? We've got a Dart trying to hail us.
What? Let me hear it.
This is Colonel John Sheppard.
Authentication code bravo delta charlie alpha niner.
Deadalus, please come in.
Authenticated, Colonel Sheppard.
What the hell happened to your Jumper? I got turned around in the parking garage.
I was in a rush, so I borrowed this Dart.
I've got the team beamed into the storage device.
- Do you have Teyla? - Yes, and the baby.
You beamed a baby into Wraith storage? No.
I got him right here.
So Feel free to do whatever you want to that cruiser.
Copy that.
Major Marks, please make that ship go away.
Yes, sir.
Colonel Sheppard, why don't you head down to the planet, beam your crew out, and land that Dart? I'm pretty sure you can dial up that Stargate now.
Copy that.
- Hey.
What's with the bags? - What's with the flowers? Going to see Teyla.
You probably heard I delivered her baby? I did, and they tell me she's going to name him Rodney.
Yes! Really? No.
Not really.
- That's funny.
Where are you going? - Back to Earth.
- What? Why? - They've caught the last Ba'al clone.
The Tok'ra gonna extract the symbiote.
They want SG-1 to put in an appearance.
Plus, the IOA want to do an exhaustive review of my first year in command, so - You know, that can't be good.
- Are you crazy? They probably want to give you a medal.
You had a great year.
I know my opinion doesn't mean much to those folks, but I think you've done an excellent job.
I'm glad you took the post.
Thanks Rodney.
That means a lot.
Tell Sheppard the court-martial will have to wait.
Sure.
See you soon.
Hope so.
How long will the surgery take? Doc says a few hours, I'll be off my feet for a week or so.
I cannot believe you attempted to mount a rescue in your condition.
Attempt? Last time I checked, I succeeded.
How's the kid? Doctor Keller says he's perfectly healthy.
I say he's perfectly everything.
That's great.
That's great.
I want to thank you.
There's no need.
I never gave up hope, because I knew I knew that you would come for me, John.
You would have done the same for me.
Yes.
All right.
You're ready, Colonel? Ready? From my understanding, I'm not doing anything.
Yeah, that's right.
You'll just have to lie still and let me play with your insides.
Sorry.
Let's go.
What are you going to name the kid? Well, if it's all right with you, I was thinking of Tagan John.
After my father, and after you.
Really? Well McKay's gonna hate that.
I would be very honoured.
Very well.
Tagan John Emmagan.
Colonel Carter.
Mr.
Woolsey, how are you? Very well, thank you for asking.
So is this whole evaluation process gonna take very long? I mean, there is a lot of work to be done on Atlantis, and I'm kind of anxious to get back.
I'm sure you are.
However, the IOA has decided that perhaps someone with a different skill set would be more suited to lead the Atlantis expedition now.
Excuse me? I'm here to inform you that, effective immediately, you are being removed from command.
Who's replacing me? As a matter of fact, I am.
