PREVIOUSLY ON STARGATE ATLANTIS
WEIR: *rushing down steps* Major Sheppard?! *Gate shuts down* Major
Sheppard who are all these people?!
TEYLA: I am Teyla Emmagan Daughter of Tughan
Shot of wraith flying over head
TEYLA: If the wraith have never touched your world you should go
back there.
SHEPPARD: Oh we'd like to but we can't.
BECKETT: I don't see a life form like this ever dieing of natural
ageing the way we do.
CARETAKER: You trespassed upon our feeding ground. *shot of big fish
guy headed for the wraith prison*
CARETAKER: *Dieing* You don't know what you have done.
Shot of Gate opening kawoosh. Security runs forward, weapons aimed.
Shield in place.
SCENE: Control room
Some mumbling weir enters.
CONTROL GUY: Its Major Sheppard's IDC
WEIR: They've only been gone a few hours.
SHEPPARD: (on radio) Atlantis, this is Sheppard we're coming in hot.
WEIR: *Walks over to balcony* Lower the shield
Shield lowered. After a second shots obviously fired by the wraith
come through the gate. Airman dive out of the way. As Sheppard's
team comes through the gate.
WEIR: Raise the shield.
Just before the shield is raised a shot comes through hitting McKay.
He's down.
SHEPPARD: McKay!
Ford and Sheppard hurry to help him, as weir heads down.
WEIR: Medical team to the gateroom!
SHEPPARD: I got a pulse
SCENE: Infirmary
McKay wakes mouth slightly open. Sheppard and Beckett waiting.
SHEPPARD: How you feeling?
MCKAY: *muffled* likae a thitua…I can' alk…
SHEPPARD: You can't talk either
MCKAY: I ow aths wat I sed.
BECKETT: Your body experienced a full overload to its sensory and
motor nervous system…
MCKAY: Ah quwat?
SHEPPARD: You took one of those wraith stunners right in the face…
BECKETT: It's really quite fascinating actually; the wraith weapon
impedes a fire of neurons that enables the necessary---
MCKAY: OHHHHAAA
BECKETT: The paralysis is only temporary. Don't worry Rodney. You'll
be up and about in no time. Bloody good thing that wraith weapon is
only designed to incapacitate…*Sheppard nods* or he's be dead
MCKAY: Quwat?
WEIR: *Opens door* Major? Could I see you for a second?
Sheppard raises an eyebrow at McKay and heads over to Weir.
MCKAY: Allo? Allloooo?!
SHEPPARD: He's going to be fine…*both start walking down corridor*
WEIR: I've heard…I want to know what happened out there…
SHEPPARD: The same old thing…
WEIR: Which makes it the fifth? Time your teams encountered the
wraith out of…how many missions. *stops on stairs*
SHEPPARD: *stops thinks.* nine………*at her look* so…probably not a
coincidence.
WEIR: I think it's pretty damn obvious now. We've got a spy in
Atlantis. *walks upstairs, Sheppard still standing there.*
CREDITS
SCENE: Conference room
Sheppard's sitting across from McKay, who is massaging his foot.
SHEPPARD: Could you please not do that here?
MCKAY: My foot is still numb, if you'll excuse me…
Fords grinning
SHEPPARD: Well at least your mouth still works fine
Weir and Bob walk in talking.
WEIR: Alright let's get started. *all sit down, doors shut.*
FORD: Shouldn't we wait for Teyla?
WEIR: Teyla wasn't invited.
SHEPPARD: She's a member of my team
BOB: She's also an Athosian sir.
SHEPPARD: So?
BOB: If we've been compromised and every indication suggests that we
have…*weir watches Sheppard* It is almost certain that one of them
is responsible
SHEPPARD: We're talking about Teyla…
WEIR: I don't like it either-…
SHEPPARD: Good then get her on in here---
WEIR: …-but the safety of this base and its personnel are my main
concern…right now. As it should be yours. The wraith have shown up
on the last five of the nine planets you team has visited and given
the fact that two of those world were unpopulated…we can pretty much
assume that they have been alerted to your missions by someone on
this base.
MCKAY: If someone on this base was communicating with the wraiths…
then why hasn't Atlantis been attacked?
SHEPPARD: *Gives weir a look, pointing at McKay* Good point…
BOB: Maybe we should just stop using the Stargate indefinitely
SHEPPARD: We can't do that…
BOB: Why not?
SHEPPARD: Because we need ZPMs to power this place.
BOB: Things seem to be running fine right now…
SHEPPARD: Ok…When the wraith do show up…and they will…how do we
defend ourselves?
MCKAY: Or for that matter how do we get back to earth?
WEIR: This is the only Stargate in the Pegasus Galaxy that can even
reach earth…and if it comes to that we're going to have to use the
self destruct before the Wraith take the city.
SHEPPARD: Bottom line: We need to use the gate.
BOB: Then we've got to find out who's responsible ASAP. I suggest we
start by confining all non-base personnel to the south side of the
complex.
SHEPPARD: Are you kidding?
BOB: That's the absolute minimum we should do. If Colonel Sumner was
still her---…
SHEPPARD: He's not. (Silence) I am.
BOB: Yes sir.
WEIR: We're not going to start treating anyone like prisoners…
SHEPPARD: Well……that's good.
WEIR: That said. Steps should be taken to safeguard the more
sensitive areas of this facility. It's only reasonable.
BOB: I recommend that no go zones start with Stargate operations,
the labs, power generation and the Jumper bay.
WEIR: I'd like to meet with every Athosian on this base. I mean
they've been here three months…I only know a handful of them by
name, *Sheppard not looking to happy*
BOB: I could start setting up interviews as soon as we're done here…
WEIR: In the mean time…all gate travel is suspended. Until further
notice.
SCENE: Gateroom. Teyla enters heading for stairs two marines stand
guard.
MARINE: *Stops Teyla* Sorry ma'am you can't come up…
TEYLA: I'm on my way to see Dr Weir.
MARINE: That area's of limits.
TEYLA: Since when? *Sheppard comes down the stairs* I believe there
has been some sort of misunderstanding…I………*looks up, Weir and McKay
walk by…* was unaware a meeting had been called…
SHEPPARD: Lets take a walk…
SCENE: Out on the balcony over looking the city,
TEYLA: What is happening?
SHEPPARD: There may be a security leak on Atlantis.
TEYLA: Are you certain?
SHEPPARD: Well Not certain certain…but pretty certain. It means
we're going to have to take temporary precautions.
TEYLA: Such as?
SHEPPARD: Well…like uh…suspending gatetravel, tightening security……
getting to know your people…better
TEYLA: You suspect an Athosian?
SHEPPARD: Dr Weir wants to meet them…that's all…it's nothing
personal. Well…well I mean it is…in the sense she wants to meet them
all personally
TEYLA: You're aware of the horrors generations of my people have
faced at the hands of the wraith…yet you would still question their
loyalty…
SHEPPARD: Come on Teyla… that's not fair…You've got people running
around Atlantis that's she's never even met.
TEYLA: I know each and everyone of them. I would stake my lives on
their innocence
SHEPPARD: ok…well perhaps you've noticed that every time we step
through the Stargate bad guys try to kill us…and I'm getting a
little tired of it…How bout you?
TEYLA: That does not mean-
SHEPPARD: look…all we're asking for…is a little cooperation that's
all.
(Silence)
TEYLA: *not too happy* you shall have it *walks off*
SCENE: Room like the conference room, but sorta different with the
table. Bob, weir, Halling and a Marine are there.
WEIR: Halling. How's Jintu?
HALLING: Well enough for a boy confined to his living quarters.
WEIR: I'm sorry, it's temporary but it is a necessary precaution.
HALLING: So I've heard.
WEIR: Then I assume you know why we've arranged these meetings…
HALLING: For the same reason my people can no longer go off-world or…
enter parts of the city. You no longer trust us.
WEIR: Truth Halling. We don't know who to trust. Information
regarding some off-world excursions has obviously found its way to
the wraith.
HALLING: Obviously?
WEIR: They can't be lying and waiting in every corner of this
galaxy. They are tracking our movements and we have to find out how.
Your help with this will be greatly appreciated.
HALLING: Then by all means…how can I be of assistance?
WEIR: Thank you *looks through file*
BOB: Since you've been here on Atlantis…you've been off-world three
times?
HALLING: Yes I've been acting as a guide on behalf of Sgt
Stackhouse's reconnaissance team…helping to establish relations
between your people and some of our former trading partners.
WEIR: Stackhouse reported he lost track of you on a couple of these
outings…
HALLING: I did take the time to visit some close friends.
BOB: Interesting. *flicking through sheets* Two of your three visits
predated wraith attacks by approximately a day
WEIR: sergeant
HALLING: What are you suggesting?
BOB: I'm not suggesting anything.
HALLING: You think I would betray my own people? Jeopardize the life
of my son?
WEIR: No one is making accusations *gives bob a look*
HALLING: I disagree. You have already leapt to the conclusion that
an Athosian is responsible.
BOB: Because it can't possibly be one of our own people… *weir gives
bob another look*
HALLING: No.
WEIR: We just need to clarify a few things.
HALLING: Then allow me……I lost my closest friend in the wraith
attack that forced us from our home world. Sellena –the woman you
spoke to before me- lost both her parents. In fact…You'd be hard
pressed to find an Athosian that has not experienced loss at the
hands of the wraith. *Bob looks embarrassed* These are the people
you accuse.
WEIR: We're not accusing anyone.
HALLING: and I came here expecting an interview…*gets up* not an
interrogation. *leaves*
SCENE: Jumper bay in a Jumper
ZALINKA: I mean I don't think it's too much to ask…
MCKAY: What is it?
ZALINKA: nothing…nothing…nothing…Just can't bear the same meal…day
after day after day…
MCKAY: well buck up a little…I'm trying to run a diagnostic.
ZALINKA: sorry.
MCKAY: I mean… we are stranded with limited resources in another
galaxy. Come on the nearest bob-big boys is three hundred million
light-years away…we have to make do…If that means you have to eat my
favorite food two days in a row…so be it.
ZALINKA: You enjoy military rations?
MCKAY: I know…it's weird…Hospital food too. The only reason I don't
like aero plane food is you can't get seconds and I'm an absolute…
*thing he's messing with beeps* Hello…
ZALINKA: What is it?
MCKAY: Well it's a command sub routine I've never seen before…
ZALINKA: *walks over* What is it's function?
MCKAY: *Looks up* I don't know…because I've never seen it before. Ok…
I'm going to cross reference this with the ancients data base up in
the control room…I'm just going to grab the a…*lets go of thing,
which zalinka grabs and loud noise* What you touch?
ZALINKA: No no nothing nothing…*steps away*
MCKAY: No you were just…
ZALINKA: No no no I didn't.
more sounds both get out…look up in awe. As the roof opens.
MCKAY: I had no idea the roof could do that.
ZALINKA: neither did I…
SCENE: A room, lit with Candles. The Athosian have called a meething.
Athosian Male: The gateroom and surrounding sections have been
closed to us.
Athosian Female: And we may no longer have access to the medical
facility without escort. We're under constant surveillance…our
movements restricted.
Athosian Male: How long must we put up with this?
HALLING: It has already been to long…
Doors open to reveal Teyla.
TEYLA: I would have been expected to be included in this discussion…
HALLING: *gets up* As we would have expected you to take a stand in
our defense…
TEYLA: They have taken action to defend everyone on this base. That
includes each and every one of you. The presence of a wraith
collaborator threatens us all.
HALLING: Then you support Dr weir's decision to confine us?
TEYLA: Halling…we are their guests.
HALLING: We've become more like their prisoners…but unlike prisoners…
we can choose to leave.
TEYLA: Where would you go?
HALLING: Do you not mean to say "Where would we go?" (silence) We
have friends on other worlds who would gladly take us in…
TEYLA: For how long? Good trading partners do not necessarily make
good hosts…
HALLING: There are many worlds among these stars.
TEYLA: The wraith have awakened…no world is safe.
HALLING: nor is it safe to remain… They will continue to do this
until they find someone to blame.
TEYLA: You know in your heart that none of our people could be
responsible for this…
HALLING: of course.
TEYLA: Then we have nothing to fear.
HALLING: You trust Dr Weir that much?
TEYLA: I do.
HALLING: More that you would trust your own people?
TEYLA: No. I understand her responsibility…Halling…we have met with
the wraith offworld so often and so quickly…there must be a reason
beyond coincidence…Give them a chance to find it. *Halling sits* I
do not a approve of some of their measures…but I do know in the end
they will help to prove our innocence. Atlantis is far more than
shelter. It is hope. Not only for our people but for everyone who
would stand against the wraith. We must not abandon that hope.
HALLING: They may reside here Teyla but they are not the ancestors
no matter how much you wish them to be.
SCENE: Corridor.
Sheppard walks out of door. Ford rushes from behind.
FORD: Sir.
SHEPPARD: Ford…
FORD: Heard they got a sun roof open on the jumper bay…
SHEPPARD: Yep…
FORD: Also heard you're planning to take a Jumper out…
SHEPPARD: I figure that's what the door on the roof is for…
FORD: Anyone else call shot gun?
SHEPPARD: Just gonna drive around the planet check it out…
FORD: Oh you're just checking out the planet...oh never mind then
that's cool I mean… *start heading up steps* I've got better things
to be doing than cruising around the planet in a space ship.
SHEPPARD: *stops turns back to ford* You're like a kid you know that?
FORD: *grins* Yes sir. I brought along something to eat on the ride…
SHEPPARD: What's that?
FORD: How about a nice…turkey sandwhich…
SHEPPARD: *sighs,* lets go *head upstairs*
SCENE: Interview room (I guess)
WEIR: Send in whoever's next please…
Marine opens door, Teyla walks in. Weir stands.
WEIR: Teyla…I wasn't expecting you
TEYLA: I was surprised to be left of your list…
WEIR: I didn't feel it was necessary in your case…
TEYLA: On the contrary you should have spoken to me first…
WEIR: *sits* You're right…I should have.
TEYLA: I can tell you anything you need to know about my people…
BOB: Is it possible you don't know them all as well as you think?
TEYLA: *Ignores bob, who looks a little put out by this…* I
empathize with you Dr Weir… as leaders we are often forced to make
difficult decisions in the interests of those we serve…but many of
my fellow Athosian are not so…understanding…
WEIR: I know… But there's nothing I can do about that now…people can
suspect my motives for these meeting all they want. But you and I
need to agree that we have a problem… I have to do what ever I can
to get to the bottom of it and right now that means sitting down and
talking to every single person here…
TEYLA: You should know there is talk of leaving Atlantis
(silence)
WEIR: I hope it doesn't come to that. *Teyla nods and smiles in
response*
TEYLA: *gets up* Not all change is for the worst…
SCENE: Jumper bay. On Jumper.
Door is shut. Ford and Sheppard go through controls for flight.
SHEPPARD: Flight this is Jumper three we are go for bay launch.
Over head sun roof opens.
FLIGHT: Jumper three you are good to go.
SHEPPARD: Yes we are…
Jumper rises up and take off.
FORD: It's strange not pulling into Gs…
SHEPPARD: Yeah…kinda miss it. Although at this rate of acceleration
we'd be dead by now.
FORD: yeah?
SHEPPARD: Oh yeah…without inertial dampening we'd be hit by so many
Gs our eyes would pop…the skin would pull away from our faces, our
brains would squish up to the back of our skulls and our internal
organs would be crushed into these chairs *looks at Ford* What about
that sandwhich?
FORD: *Give him a dirty look and passes over the sandwhich*
SHEPPARD: Flight we're going to take a low orbit around the planet.
We'll advise when we're back in radio range…
FLIGHT: Copy that Jumper three…Good luck
FORD: You know we still haven't named the planet yet…
SHEPPARD: I'm sure the ancients have a name for it…
FORD: How about Atlantica or something like that. *grins*
SHEPPARD: I thought we agreed you weren't going to name anything
anymore? *raises eyebrow*
FORD: *shrugs, looks out window…* Sir… *Sheppard looks* Is that…land?
SHEPPARD: Yes…it is…
FORD: Wonder how big it is?
SHEPPARD: *map comes up on screen* Big.
FORD: Really big…
SCENE: interview room
FORD: It's huge…
MCKAY: Define huge…
SHEPPARD: 15 million square miles…give or take…
MCKAY: Well that would make it approximately the size of…I have no
idea but it sounds huge…
WEIR: How long would it take us to get there?
SHEPPARD: 25 minutes by Jumper from ground to ground… I saw some
sweet breakers on the south table…there may be surfing in our future…
*Weir and ford grin*
BOB: We should send a team to go get soil and water samples.
MCKAY: He's right if the land's arable it could solve a lot of our
food productions problems
BOB: Actually I was thinking of something else…
SHEPPARD: Not surfing?
BOB: No sir…We can't resume offworld missions as long as the
Athosian remain in the city…
SHEPPARD: So you want to dump them on the main land
BOB: sound like we're sending them out to die major…
SHEPPARD: Well how the hell would you know…
FORD: It looked pretty wild down there…
BOB: A second ago we were going surfing…
SHEPPARD: Well that was after we check for monsters and…bugs and
other space related things…
BOB: I can't imagine it would be worse than their original home
world…
MCKAY: That could be just failure of imagination on your part.
BOB: and any case a survey would tell us what we need to know…
Weir has been watching them, thinking. Sheppard glances at her then
away…then back again, eyebrow raised weir looks at him.
SHEPPARD: You're not seriously thinking about this? *weir does a
sort of half shrug* We're the reason they had to leave their planet
in the first place.
WEIR: *nods* This is a complicated situation major…
SHEPPARD: Well what does that mean…
WEIR: It means I'm not about to rule anything out…at this point…
SCENE: Corridor.
HALLING: Dr weir… *Weir stops, some Athosian are with halling* is it
true you have discovered land on this world
WEIR: Yes it is
HALLING: Then my people wish to take our leave to explore it.
WEIR: You would?...
HALLING: We're no longer welcome here…
WEIR: That's not the case
HALLING: And it will make us useful as long as we have no access to
the gate…
WEIR: We don't even know if it's safe…
HALLING: We can determine that…for both our people…
WEIR: I don't get it…up until now you have been insisting on access
to the Stargate and now you're proposing to deliberately cut
yourself off from it…
HALLING: We cannot leave…and we cannot stay… The main land presents
us with a third option…
WEIR: I see
HALLING: You said yourself this was a temporary measure
WEIR: Yes of course…
HALLING: You have the means to assure us passage between Atlantis
and the main land…when you decide to resume use of the gate.
WEIR: And if we resume our missions through the Stargate and stop
encountering the wraith at every turn…it will only prove that there
is a spy on the Athosian.
HALLING: And when you continue to encounter the wraith at every
turn… it will only prove our innocence.
WEIR: Have you discussed this with Teyla?
HALLING: Teyla has made her decision… *all Athosian bow and leave.*
SCENE: Athosian are packing. Door opens to Teyla. (thing about doors
this ep)
HALLING: I understand you are not coming with us. *two Athosian walk
out*
TEYLA: Dr weir has arranged for communications between Atlantis and
the main land…Should you ever need our assistance…
HALLING: Thank her for us…
TEYLA: I hope…I don't want anyone to believe that I'm…
HALLING: Teyla. The time has come.
TEYLA: *walks over to him, they put their foreheads together*
HALLING: Go safely…
TEYLA: And you…*she leaves*
Shot of all the Athosian leaving, Teyla watching from upstairs. Weir
walks over.
TEYLA: I've never been separated from my people before…
WEIR: It must be hard…but you know you'll see them again…
TEYLA: You doubt that you will one day return to earth…
WEIR: I can't afford that doubt
TEYLA: You mean you can not afford to let them show.
WEIR: You're still a leader Teyla…You are doing this for you're
people and for their future… They know that.*walks off*
SCENE: Gateroom.
I think about two teams (one Sheppard's) come down.
WEIR: Anxious to step through the gate again Major?
SHEPPARD: Yes I am…
TEYLA: We all our…
SHEPPARD: *to weir* You like us to bring back anything special?
WEIR: uh…no thanx…
SHEPPARD: Groceries? A new outfit? Flatware…
WEIR: Hmm…no…just yourselves…in one piece please. Dial it up *Gate
starts dialing* be safe. *walks off*
Gate opens both teams step through. WORMHOLE.
SCENE: On planet. Near Gate.
SHEPPARD: Well good stuff?
ANTHROPOLOGIST: I can't even begin to tell you how fascinating this
is…
SHEPPARD: Anthropologist fascinating or actual fascinating?
ANTHROPOLOGIST: Yes well maybe fascinating isn't the right word…
SHEPPARD: Maybe not…How much longer?
ANTHROPOLOGIST: Realistically…we'll probably be needing to come back…
there's just so much here…
SHEPPARD: Well I can see that…is there any way to speed things up?
ANTHROPOLOGIST: well sure find me someone who can translate some of
the ruin… *Teyla and Ford walk over Ant leaves*
SHEPPARD: *to Teyla* Did you say there were natives here?
TEYLA: They are very shy people. They probably went into hiding the
minute we came through the gate.
SHEPPARD: Is there any way you can coax them out. Have them give us
a hand?
TEYLA: It is unlikely…but I could try.
SHEPPARD: Ltd…go with her.
TEYLA: It would be better if I went alone
SHEPPARD: You will be alone. With ltd Ford.
Teyla looks at ford both walk off, Sheppard looking out after them
with a sigh.
TEYLA: Yeelah
SCENE: In the wood
TEYLA: Yeelah averay. Yeelah…yeelah an averay
FORD: Maybe they're not around.
TEYLA: They are near…but you are a stranger to them. They will not
come out of hiding so long as you are with me…They are not a
dangerous people ltd…I will be fine…
FORD: *Watches her* Alright I'll wait here…
TEYLA: *Walks off* Yeelah yeelah
FORD: Call me on the radio if you need me.
SCENE: Back at Gate.
Sheppard looks at watch, McKay's packing something and Marine look
out. We get a shot of someone move by through the tree line.
Sheppard look over spots them
SHEPPARD: WRAITH!!! *The wraith fire* Back to the Gate Now!!!
They rush back. Ford hears the fire, moves glances in the direction
Teyla went.
Teams fall back, firing on the three oncoming targets.
FORD: Teyla!! (on radio) Major what's the situation?
SHEPPARD: Ltd we're taking fire. You're going to have to zoomo round
to get back to the gate.
FORD: Teyla's not with me she went to get…
SHEPPARD: Find her. Get her back.
Ford rushes off.
Sheppard kills two wraith.
SHEPPARD: move out!
third falls Sheppard gets up heading for gate, Third guy gets up
shoots hitting Sheppard.
STACKHOUSE: Lumano! McKay! grab the Major. *fires*
MCKAY: What about ltd Ford? *picking up Sheppard*
STACKHOUSE: Now!!
They drag Sheppard and go through the gate. WORMHOLE.
SCENE: Gateroom
Overhead shot, team come through gate. Med team ready
STACKHOUSE: Shut it down they're right behind us *gate shuts down.*
Weir walks down, watching as Sheppard is rushed off.
MCKAY: We have to go back.
WEIR: Teyla? Ltd Ford?
MCKAY: Still on the planet. We have to go back now!
STACKHOUSE: I'd advise against it. You have wraith all over the gate.
MCKAY: We can't just leave them there
SCENE: Control room
WEIR: How many?
STACKHOUSE: Its hard to say most of them were behind the tree line.
MCKAY: We're wasting time here we need to mount a rescue operation.
WEIR: I'm not going to send anyone through that gate until I have
all the facts Doctor. How did Teyla and Ltd Ford get separated from
you?
STACKHOUSE: They went to check out the area and try to make contact
with some of the natives…
BOB: And whose idea was that?
SHEPPARD: Mine. *walking up behind him* She was following my orders
*sits down*
WEIR: Shouldn't you be back at the infirmary?
SHEPPARD: No I'm fine I didn't take a full blast.
WEIR: Why didn't you go with them major?
SHEPPARD: Well the natives of that planet are easily spooked. Teyla
thought we'd scare them off with a big group.
BOB: Teyla did…
SHEPPARD: What's that sergeant?
BOB: She was conveniently absent during the ambush…
MCKAY: So was Ford maybe it was him?
BOB: I'm just stating a fact sir.
SHEPPARD: Sergeant *getting up* I am only going to say this once…
BOB: With all due respect Major You can reprimand me if you wish…but
its been six times your team has been compromised. Only one Athosian
knew about this last mission.
Gate activates.
CONTROL GUY: We have an unscheduled off-world activation…It's
Teyla's IDC. Receiving a radio transmission.
TEYLA: (On radio)This is Teyla…Ltd Ford has been wounded. The wraith
are closing in on our position.
BOB: You put down that shield and we could be opening up this base
to a wraith attack
TEYLA: (on radio) Atlantis…please let us through……
Airman/marines flank the gate weapons aimed.
WEIR: (on radio) Ltd Ford can you confirm the situation.
TEYLA: (on radio) He is unconscious. Our situation grows desperate.
Soon we will have no choice but to go through the Stargate.
BOB: We drop that shield and who knows what she'll bring through the
gate with her…
Weir looks to Bob and Sheppard unsure.
SHEPPARD: Open up the damn gate!!
Shot of all threes faces.
WEIR: Lower the shield.
Shield is dropped, Teyla comes through dragging ford. The gate
disengages. The marines move forward weapons trained on Teyla. All
rush down. Sheppard checking Ford.
SCENE: Interview room
SHEPPARD: If she were helping the Wraith… why bother bringing ford
back…In fact why bother coming back at all?
BOB: She's off more use to them here in Atlantis…as for apparently
rescuing ltd ford.
SHEPPARD: She carried him through the gate…what's apparent about
that…
BOB: He's unconscious sir…we still don't know what happened…
SHEPPARD: Oh that's enough
BOB: Its my job to express security concerns.
SHEPPARD: I've heard enough of your concerns.
BOB: Again with all due respect Major I believe you're putting your
personal feeling in front of your…
SHEPPARD: You're dismissed.
Silence…weir looks down at the table, as Bob gets up slamming his
file.
BOB: Yes sir. *packs up his stuff walk out.*
Sheppard glances at Weir then paces. She watches him. He stops.
SHEPPARD: What?
WEIR: I'm the one who put him in charge of security
SHEPPARD: Yes you did…and if you want to dismiss me. Go ahead.
WEIR: Why don't you go see how ltd Ford is doing…
Sheppard leaves
SCENE: McKay's lab.
Bob dumps out Teyla's things on the table.
MCKAY: You want me to go through her stuff?
BOB: We're looking for weapons, transmitters, recording devices…
anything that looks like its beyond the Athosian level of technology.
MCKAY: And if I don't find anything we move onto a strip search?
BOB: Just do it *walks out, McKay starts*
SCENE: Infirmary
FORD: We were on our way back, when we came under fire. Didn't even
see them. We returned fire they made for the gate. I was shot from
behind. She saved my ass back there major.
SHEPPARD: Of course she did
MCKAY: Major I *walking up behind them* oh…ford how are you feeling…
pins and needles all over?
SHEPPARD: Oh yeah welcome to the club.
FORD: No sir I managed to dive out of the way of the stun blast. I
must have hit my head on the way down.
SHEPPARD: You hit your head?
MCKAY: Major I need you to see something *both head off*
FORD: I'll be fine.
SCENE: McKay's lab. Sheppard stops at the sight of all teyla's stuff
SHEPPARD: What the hell is this?
MCKAY: I know how it looks. It was a special request from Sergeant
Bates.
SHEPPARD: I'm gonna bust that Son of a Bitch.
MCKAY: Major…
SHEPPARD: Teyla has nothing to do with this.
MCKAY: The thing is he was right.
SHEPPARD: Bates was right?
MCKAY: I know I was as surprised as you are. Look at this. *walks
over* Its her locket… It's a transmitter, Its been broadcasting a
continuous signal…I wouldn't even have noticed if I hadn't been
looking for it specifically.
I found it…
MCKAY: What?
SHEPPARD: Back on her planet…the first time we met… *we get a flash
back of him finding it* Teyla took me to the old ruins… That was
half buried in dirt…I gave it to here
TEYLA: I lost this years ago.
SCENE: Conference room
MCKAY: The locket isn't powerful enough to send a signal very far…
certainly not through subspace my guess is there are probably relay
devices that probably pick up the transmission and alert the nearest
hive ship. Those were the planets we were attacked.
SHEPPARD: Boy do we owe a few people an apology.
WEIR: *looking at locket* Teyla had no idea she was giving away your
position.
SHEPPARD: She said it was a present from her father…she lost it when
she was a kid.
MCKAY: It was probably dormant til major Sheppard picked it up…
activated it.
BOB: If she wore it as a kid why weren't they attacked back then…
MCKAY: Didn't I just say it was dormant??
BOB: But if it was activated by touch…
MCKAY: You're not listening…I said major Sheppard activated it
WEIR: As far as the wraith are concerned Teyla is just another human
being
MCKAY: They would have no interest tracking her…now Major Sheppard
on the other hand…
WEIR: Has the Ancient gene
MCKAY: Exactly…now at one point the wraiths and the ancients were at
war…the wraiths created a transmission device to detect ancients
SHEPPARD: SO some Athosian thought this would make a nice little
necklace…
MCKAY: How could I possibly know that? What am I answer man? The
point is…
WEIR: It wasn't Teyla…or any other Athosian for that matter…
SHEPPARD: If that's the case…we can use it against them…
SCENE: Lab.
Ford's loading something. McKay and Sheppard walk in, McKay
massaging his hands.
SHEPPARD: You seem nervous…
MCKAY: No…I'm part of this team I'm doing this.
SHEPPARD: Yes you are. I just said you seemed nervous.
MCKAY: Oh really…I thought you said Rodney you don't have to do this…
SHEPPARD: Yes you do
MCKAY: Damn right I'm doing this…despite the fact the feeling has a
completely turned my extremities…
Teyla enters
SHEPPARD: You're late.
TEYLA: Sorry
FORD: Now given the wraiths regenerative abilities killing one
requires some amount of effort… Catching one alive is going to be a
whole other deal…for any of these options to work your wraith has to
be on the ground…
MCKAY: The last planet we visited was inaccessible by ship and…the
ruins around the Stargate should force the wraith to come through on
foot.
FORD: in which case *opens box* You'll be able to use these. *pulls
out can* This is a stun grenade. Its filled with a mixture of
aluminum and potassium percolate that when ignited produces a high
pressure wave that will overwhelm the intended target with intense
light and sound. If that doesn't get his head ringing in addition
*pulls out weapon* You've got your tazer…
SCENE: Planet. Setting up trap
FORD: (Voice over) with a range of 15 to 20 feet it delivers a high
voltage low Ambridge charge that limits the body's electrical
signals temporarily paralyzing the victim.
Sheppard and McKay sitting behind rock.
FORD: (On radio) Major this is ford.
SHEPPARD: What you Got Ltd?
FORD: *Looking through binoculars at Wraith* We've got company. Four
of them.
SHEPPARD: Alright then we go as planned.
FORD: Yes sir
SHEPPARD: *McKay is staring at his gun* You still seem nervous…
MCKAY: No no no…its good good…All go…Its good.
He
picks up locket from ground…
SHEPPARD: *looks over at wraith* Teyla… *she looks out*
Sheppard signals, she nods. She motions marine who hits claymores.
They explode around wraith. Wraith Fire. Ford and his friend throw
the stun grenades. McKay and Sheppard fire one goes down. Teyla and
her friend taking out the other. Teyla runs forward, continues
firing on the wraith she shot down. Reloading. Sheppard's one gets
back up.
SHEPPARD: This one's ours boys. Tazers
All run forward with Tazers, Teyla notices big fish guy, goes after
him. All fire tazers at Wraith. Teyla fires shots at Big fish guy.
He walks towards her as she continues firing. He shoves her out of
the way with great force. Sheppard's wraith goes down. Teyla grabs
stick (kung fu move, waits). Sheppard's Wraith flips himself over
and sets himself for self destruct.
SHEPPARD: Self destruct. Take cover!!
All rush behind rocks. BOOM!!!! Close to McKay and Sheppard
Teyla is fighting Big fish guy with her stick karate style…or
wotever…knocking off a few shots.
FORD: Major! Dr McKay?
Both get up slowly.
SHEPPARD: You ok?
MCKAY: I'm fine. This is…this is fun for me…
Teyla still going rounds with Big fish guy who finally knocks her
over. He grabs her throat and about to…Sheppard shoots him with a
wraith weapon from behind. He goes to hit self destruct Sheppard
stops him.
SHEPPARD: Easy… Don't go blowing yourself up…
SCENE: Corridor
Guess who walks out of a door:P Teyla
WEIR: Teyla *bumps into someone* excuse me…I was hoping to catch you
before you headed back to the main land. I hear they're doing well…
TEYLA: Very well…According the Halling they're busily planting crops
for the next harvest…
WEIR: I'm glad to hear it.
TEYLA: I will tell them what has happened, hopefully in time we will
all be able to put the events of the past week behind us.
WEIR: Yes…………I am aware that the last few days have been
particularly difficult for you
TEYLA: I believe…Dr Weir…That in your place… I would have done the
same…
WEIR: Thank you
Teyla nods and leaves.
SCENE: Prison cell.
BIG FISH GUY: Again… Your kind is persistent. I would have thought
you'd given up by now.
SHEPPARD: Aww hell I've got all the time in the world. Now you on
the other hand…*Big fish guy makes a grab for him* The ancients were
pretty good at shields and stuff like that weren't they…I give you a
week…maybe two…tops.
BIG FISH GUY: You waste your time…I'll provide you with no
information…
SHEPPARD: Wonder what hurts more the gun shot wound or the hunger?
Because I'd love to help out but…how did McKay put it?...We can't
meet your dietary requirements.
BIG FISH GUY: When I am free you will be the first that I feed upon
SHEPPARD: Okie dokie…I'm going to go make myself a sandwhich…*nods*
BIG FISH GUY: Human. You think you've won a victory by my capture
but by bringing me here you've only hastened your own doom. Its only
a matter of time before the others of my kind come to rescue me…and
when they do…They'll be no where in this world you can hide…
SHEPPARD: Stay positive now…
