"This is what Destiny intended from the moment it entered the star system." "We are going to survive." "We are going to make it home." "I'm telling you, the ship came here for a reason." "Destiny is powered by the stars themselves." "He and Young are bumping heads, yes." "Not sure which camp is the better choice." "We just pretend nothing happened." "We need to be ready for the next encounter." "For the sake of the crew." "For the sake of the crew." "I'm not sick." "What about the father?" "This is unlike any other kind" "Of alien technology we've encountered before." "If they're indigenous to this part of the universe," "They might be willing to trade." "You lost the kino?" "No, I took a wrong turn trying to steer it out." "I just need to take a look and get my bearings." "We haven't found any other sort of exit," "Or access to ground level." "We're not going to make it." "Fire in the hole!" "Doesn't look like that had the desired effect." "We just made things a lot worse." "God be with you, Colonel." "Riley..." "I think Eli would want someone" "Documenting the efforts" "To rescue the team" "That was left behind." "Well, given that Eli is one of the team" "That was left behind," "I would have thought" "He'd want everyone doing anything possible" "To help rescue them." "Well, you didn't like my idea." "Telling Destiny to go back and pick them up" "Isn't going to work." "How do you know?" "Because I've already tried it!" "I'm done." "The stargate aboard this ship is much more primitive" "Than the later models found in the milky way." "As you can see from this map, each time Destiny stops," "It's in range of only a small group of gates." "That means the next time we drop out of FTL," "The planet the team was stranded on" "Will no longer be in range of Destiny." "However, Dr. Rush and Mr. Brody are working on..." "That's weird." "What happened?" "Well, the battery must have died." "Okay." "I just got this one fresh out of the dispenser." "It wasn't me." "I am not the sort of person" "Who just jumps into bed with anyone." "I had thought we..." "Colonel Young asked you to check on me, didn't he?" "Yes, but he's asking me to keep tabs on everybody." "He believes in you." "Well, he doesn't have much choice." "I'm also here because I'm your friend." "I'm sorry, it's just that..." "Rush, come in." "Yeah, we've got several systems down." "Looks like Destiny's activated some kind of power-saving mode." "That's strange, because our reserves are still" "At almost maximum current capacity" "From the last recharge." "Life support's fine." "I should be able to work round it," "Get the lights back on in a couple of minutes." "Maybe we shouldn't." "What?" "Work around it." "I mean, there's got to be a good reason this is happening." "This whole ship is falling apart." "Computers don't last forever." "Maybe it's a malfunction." "Well, we're not going to be able to do anything" "In the dark." "We have two days of water, tops." "We'll find more." "Step one," "We get out of these tunnels." "We're off to a bad start." "We'll find food and water." "They can't turn the ship around." "Then we'll use the gates to catch up." "In order to connect the dots between here and the Destiny," "There have to be gates in range of each other" "Between this planet and wherever Destiny stops next." "Plus, this remote only tells you" "Which gates are in range of this planet," "Not where they are." "There's no way to know which direction we'd be going." "Oh, and in case that's not bad enough," "We have no idea" "Where Destiny went." "Whoa, one step at a time." "Yeah, let's all try and keep a positive attitude." "C4 blast could have destabilized the whole place." "Oh, that's just great." "We had to take the risk." "We're seriously..." "Eli." "All we can do right now is keep moving." "Son of a..." "So, what do we know?" "Not much." "Several nonessential systems" "Automatically shut down." "We still only have limited control." "How about rescuing the team we left behind?" "As I've said, Colonel," "We won't know if the planet they were left on is reachable" "Until we've dropped out of FTL." "This is crazy." "You'd think some of these tunnels" "Would lead somewhere." "No wonder the people that built this place died out." "They probably all got lost down here." "Just wandered around thinking," ""if only we had thought to put in a few more exits."" "Or how about one of those maps you see in a shopping mall" "With a big red dot." ""you are here."" "How hard is that?" "I'd kill for a big red dot right now." "I can't take this anymore." "All right, let's stop, take a quick breather." "Five minutes." "Thank God!" "Still looking for that kino?" "Uh, no." "So what are you doing?" "I've been thinking about using the gates, actually." "And?" "I may have painted an overly bleak picture before." "I'll admit, I was freaking out a bit." "And now?" "Well, we do know" "That Destiny is traveling down a path," "Basically a corridor of gates" "Left behind by the ships that were sent in advance." "It meanders somewhat," "But generally, it heads in one direction." "I mean, they wouldn't put gates on every planet in every galaxy." "Obviously not." "People don't realize" "How big a galaxy is." "Anyway..." "Let's say the gates in range of the planet we're on" "Are in this circle." "This circle represents" "The gates in range of Destiny" "The next time it drops out of FTL." "Okay, so we need to get to that circle." "Yeah, right." "Now, hopefully, there are gates in range of each other" "Between these circles." "Once we are in range of Destiny," "The address will show up on here." "You see how easy it is to make a simple map?" "Okay, so how do we know we're going the right way?" "We don't," "But if we do go the wrong way," "We'll either run out of addresses" "Because we've hit the edge of the corridor," "Or we'll run into planets we've been to before" "Or at least addresses" "I'll hopefully remember or recognize, but..." "At least it's a 50-50 shot." "Good." "All right, we should really get moving." "Why?" "It hasn't been five minutes." "Eli, seriously!" "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" "Yeah." "Well, I suspected as much." "Well, if it's true..." "I know." "You're not going to tell Young?" "Well, it's not certain." "You have to tell him." "She's upset." "We all are." "But she's fine, though?" "I mean, I don't have to worry" "About putting her back out there?" "No." "A few words of encouragement from you" "Wouldn't hurt, though." "She thinks you don't have any confidence in her," "That you're only putting her out there" "Because you don't have a choice..." "I don't." "I know you think she's a good soldier." "Is she aware that I know" "About her previous relationship with Scott?" "No." "She's not over him, either," "But that's not an issue." "Thanks." "Sir..." "There's something else I..." "Need to tell you." "Well, that sounds serious." "Colonel Young, come in." "Rush, go ahead." "You're going to want to see this." "I'll be right there." "So, you were going to say?" "It can wait." "It's more of a longer conversation." "Okay." "When I was left behind on that planet" "With the crashed alien ship..." "I remember." "One of the things I saw there" "Appeared to be a map of this galaxy," "Including the stargates." "And?" "Well, Mr. Brody and myself have been working on our own map," "Based on our own records" "Of where Destiny has been thus far." "I thought Destiny had a map of where it's been." "Yeah, but trying to create a clearer picture" "Of the entire galaxy we're in..." "Rush, just cut to the chase, will you?" "I was hoping to have some better news," "But if I'm right..." "Then we are at the very edge of this galaxy." "Now, how is that bad news?" "We know that Destiny travels between galaxies." "Yeah, but the space between galaxies is huge." "Vast, empty." "You think that's why that power-saving protocol kicked in?" "I don't know, it could be," "But more importantly, there will be no more gates." "No chance of dialing back to this system." "If we don't find them" "The next time we drop out of FTL..." "We won't have another chance." "Oh, my God!" "What?" "The kino." "Look, look, an exit!" "The kino found an exit." "That's awesome." "Where's the kino?" "I have no idea." "Right." "Exactly." "Come on, at least now we know" "That there is a way out of here." "Left or right?" "What's it going to be?" "We're traveling blind," "So what difference does it make?" "Left." "I like left." "No offence to what you like, man, but..." "No." "He's right." "We should go left." "How do you know for sure?" "Because that's what this map says." "There's been a few of these along the way." "I thought they were just decorative at first." "So far they've been the same except for one thing." "This symbol seems to be in different places." ""you are here."" "There have been maps down here this whole time?" "That's awesome." "Are you sure?" "Well, this seems to be the fork we're standing at." "Yeah, well, there's only one way to find out." "What are you doing?" "Going to go look for another one." "Greer!" "Greer!" "She's right." "There's another map..." "Greer!" "I tried." "I did, really!" "I was about to tell him," "And then he got called away by Rush." "Well, you should have told him anyway." "It just, it sounded important." "So is this." "I know." "He's going to find out soon enough." "I mean, you're starting to show." "I know." "Are you afraid of what he's going to say?" "Or not say, I don't know." "Go tell him right now." "It just seems like there's always something." "Matt!" "I'm fine." "Oh, my God." "Greer!" "Greer!" "Come in, Greer!" "Ron, can you hear me?" "Maybe the signal can't penetrate the rocks." "We could hear James pretty clearly." "Three hours." "Besides dialing," "Checking for safe environment," "Roughly eight to ten minutes per planet." "Factor in time to get back," "We'll be able to see roughly 20 planets." "At least we know the direction to go in." "We'll find them, sir." "Good luck." "Colonel, it's TJ, come in?" "Go ahead." "Have they left?" "Yes." "Unfortunately, it's a very short window." "Do you have some time to talk in private?" "I'm just on my way to see to Dr. Volker," "Talk about the charging plates, putting them back online." "Nothing seems to be working around here." "Can it wait?" "Greer!" "Come on, buddy!" "Greer!" "Ow, wait, wait, wait!" "All right, stop, stop, stop!" "Stop moving rocks." "We need to get out of here." "Look, I saw those rocks coming down." "It..." "I know he would want us to get out of here alive," "Especially if there was no hope for him." "Are you just saying that" "Because you think you need to get us out of here?" "Gear up." "Give me a second here." "Just..." "Go." "Look, Greer?" "I'm sorry, man." "Go!" "Move, move, move, this thing's coming down." "Please." "The boy has to eat." "Look, don't you go near there." "You got to let him out." "I don't got to do nothing!" "Mom?" "The boy has to learn." "Hello!" "Hey, you guys, can anybody hear me?" "I'm here!" "Scott, this is Greer, come in." "Come in..." "Hey, at least the tremors have stopped." "Probably got far enough from the cave-in." "I'll go." "Done." "Done." "He wasn't always like this." "You say that all the time." "He was a good man," "A good father." "You were too young to remember." "I hate him." "It's not his fault." "Don't care." "You need to be strong." "I know you got it in you." "He needs us, both of us." "Nobody else is going to take care of him." "We need to go." "Where?" "Far away." "Both of us." "We need to get out of here." "Eli, hold up a second." "What?" "I'm saying maybe the thing to do is stay put." "If it is possible to connect the dots" "Between here and Destiny," "Then Colonel Young is going to send a team" "Back to look for us." "Maybe we'd be better off" "Waiting for them to find us." "We don't know how long" "Destiny is going to stop for." "If it's a short window," "There might not be enough time for them to get here," "And then to gate back to Destiny?" "We need to take the chance." "Okay, dial it." "It's hard to see." "Looks pretty foggy," "But everything else is good." "It's safe to go." "Get out." "Get out." "I don't have any money." "Probably a good thing down here." "Matt?" "It'll take a minute" "For the gate list to refresh." "If Destiny's in FTL, it won't show up, right?" "Right." "So shouldn't we be spending" "A little more time on these planets?" "Waiting to see if it does?" "What if it is out of FTL," "But just one planet away from here?" "See, I knew this was a bad idea." "Weren't you the one who said" "We should stop being so negative?" "10 minutes." "We give each planet..." "You hear that?" "Of course we heard it." "Dial the gate." "I'm dialing." "Dial faster." "I'm dialing, I'm dialing!" "Eli!" "Holy..." "Mom!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Mom, we have to go!" "Mom, wake up!" "You should've let me burn." "It's beautiful." "Not that I'd want to be stuck here" "For a long time," "But it is an incredible sight to see." "Yes." "This is our tenth planet." "We have less than an hour and a half left." "This is a lot more complicated than I'd anticipated." "Who would have guessed" "That Destiny had skipped over so many planets" "With gates on them?" "Getting back should be much quicker, though." "Yes." "Well, we have extra kinos and a remote." "Maybe it's time to split up, cover more planets." "Agreed." "We're going to find them." "We just need a bit of luck." "I'm afraid I don't believe in that." "So you'll take one team and I'll take the other?" "The fires..." "The fires were everywhere." "That oil burned hot." "Got so we forgot" "What a clean breath of air felt like." "Emphysema, asthma, bronchitis." "They said none of the guys sent in to put out the fires" "Showed any ill effects." "Come on, you buy that?" "How can that be true?" "Those fires were everywhere..." "The man's a living hell." "Sent by the devil himself to torture me for all eternity." "Just a little skin reaction, they said." "Just a little itchy on the arm." "The FDA approved it" "Even though it'd never been through" "Any serious large-scale trials." "There were no side effects." "They said it was the war," "Not the vaccine." "Between 1998 and 2000, 20,000 soldiers had to be hospitalized" "After receiving the vaccine" "Even though they had never been deployed overseas." "The pentagon failed to report that to congress!" "Wasn't as bad as the sand fleas, though." "They got under your skin and how." "Carried all kinds of diseases." "Diseases you can't even say." "Tank busters." "Uranium depleted." "I loaded those munitions." "Nothing dangerous coming off those." "What do you think?" "18,000 times in two years those alarms went off." "It's not the mustard gas, never the mustard gas!" "It was cigarettes." "Deodorant!" "Can you believe that?" "Chronic fatigue, loss of muscle control," "Headaches, dizziness, memory loss," "Shortness of breath, brain cancer..." "I'm going to kill him." "Put him out of his misery." "It was the war." "It was the war!" "It wasn't the fires." "They were everywhere." "Big black billowing smoke." "The war is why he can't breathe." "Hey, TJ!" "Listen, I'm sorry." "One thing turned into another," "And the next thing I know, a five-minute update is..." "I'm pregnant." "You're pregnant?" "How far along are you?" "About 22 weeks." "It's yours." "Ours." "A baby." "On this ship..." "I'm keeping it." "No, I didn't..." "I didn't say you shouldn't." "What are you saying?" "We're going to..." "we're going to make this work." "We're going to do it, we're going to make it work." "Okay?" "This is a problem." "What?" "The kino says" "The atmosphere on the planet we just sent it to is toxic." "We can't go through." "Which means we can't get that kino back." "And we won't know if the next address we try" "Is safe." "Dial another one." "But I just said that..." "I know, I know," "But we can't stay here, can we?" "No, no, but I..." "You stay, I'll go, I'll go." "I'll radio back if it's safe." "Matt, no." "Look, we stay here," "We're as good as dead anyway." "Dial another one." "They left you." "Abandoned you." "They did whathey had to do." "They thought I was dead." "Nobody's going to save you." "Nobody cares." "In the end, all there is is you." "You alone." "Doctor says" "There's an infection in his brain." "They say there's nothing they can do for him." "I enlisted." "What'd you go and do that for?" "I didn't get the scholarship." "But you worked so hard." "Wasn't fast enough." "You always said it wasn't his fault." "His choice wasn't wrong." "He just wanted to be somebody." "I want to be somebody." "You don't have anything to prove to anyone." "You didn't let him change you." "Nothing can hurt the spirit God gave you..." "I have to use it." "Don't I?" "To make a difference." "You can still change your mind." "I'm not going to." "All right, I'm okay." "It's cold and dark," "But I can breathe," "And there's no crazy dinosaurs," "At least not yet." "Come on through." "It's kind of pretty." "Sometimes we would spend christmas" "At a cabin in Vermont." "Amazing..." "That a planet on the other side of the universe" "Can remind you of Vermont." "Okay." "Here we go," "The next set of addresses." "Oh, God..." "What?" "I recognize this one." "One we've been to before?" "Not recently." "That's not good." "It's the one with the downed alien ship." "The..." "The planet Rush was stranded on." "We've been heading the wrong way." "Okay, so what now?" "Can we retrace our steps?" "Wait..." "No." "We should go to this planet." "Why?" "Look, even if we retrace our steps" "And try this all again with different choices," "We're traveling blind." "Rush said he we was able to boot up the computer" "On that alien ship." "Yea, and that's what brought the aliens." "Yes, but in the small time that he was there," "He was able to glean some information" "About the shape of this galaxy" "And where the stargates are." "If I can do the same," "We won't have to stumble around." "We'd have a map." "Okay, but what about the aliens?" "Believe me, you do not want to end up a prisoner" "On one of those ships." "I realize we might not have much time." "We'll have to get in and out quickly." "If they're not there now." "Lieutenant." "I hope this is a good idea." "All right, come on." "Hey, Eli?" "How about this?" "Guess we're in the right place." "Well, I didn't see any other alien spaceships," "Did you?" "Come on, clock is ticking." "I know, I know." "15 minutes." "Where'd you get that number?" "I like it." "This is an alien spaceship." "Right, exactly." "15 minutes, that is it." "End of discussion." "Nice work, Lieutenant." "Thank you, sir." "Any word from Rush?" "Not yet." "I'm glad you made it back." "Yes, sir." "Sergeant?" "They thought I was dead." "I don't think they would have left me otherwise." "I just hope that choice doesn't mean we've lost them." "None of this makes any sense." "Okay, time's up, we need to walk away." "Not yet." "Wait." "You just said none of this makes any sense..." "I know." "I know." "Eli..." "Go back." "What do you mean?" "The screens, go back." "There!" "Select that." "There it is." "How did you know that?" "I don't know." "Can you read this?" "No, I just..." "Know what it means?" "Look, can you use this" "To get us back to Destiny or not?" "Uh..." "Yes?" "Yes." "I think so." "We have to hurry, though." "Why?" "If I'm reading this right," "Then Destiny is about to leave the galaxy." "If we don't get back on board before it does," "We're going to be stranded for good." "Game over." "Five minutes." "Okay..." "Seriously, there was no quicker way?" "No." "If I'm right, this planet should be just..." "There it is!" "Destiny!" "Dial, dial, dial!" "Okay." "Down to the wire." "Incoming wormhole." "You cut it close." "Greer." "And the others were not with him." "What happened?" "I don't know." "It didn't connect." "Why not?" "I don't know!" "So where are they?" "Dial it again." "Dial it again!" "Yeah, yeah, okay." "What happened?" "I said I don't..." "Oh, God!" "What?" "The address just disappeared." "How can it be there one second" "And gone the next?" "They jumped." "We missed it." "We must have just..." "Missed it." "That's it." "We're done." "I'm trying to carry on for Eli." "Don't you think he'd want me to?" "I mean, I think it's important." "Look, I know you've been through a lot." "I only need a minute or two." "What happened on the planet?" "People are going to want to hear your story," "You know." "Maybe another time."
