"This is what Destiny intended from the moment it entered the system." "We are going to survive." "We are going to make it home." "The ship came here for a reason." "This ship is powered by the stars themselves." "He and young are bumping heads." "Not sure which camp is the better choice." "We 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 want to see the alien ship." " Were you just trying to distract me?" "So I wouldn't notice what Rush was doing?" "I knew it was coming, but I didn't know when." "Navigation, propulsion and many others have been locked out by a master code, which we have had no luck in breaking." "This ancient device is pretty much a death sentence." "I'm not stopping you, Rush." "Go, sit, be my guest." "Have you seen my glasses?" "Bread box." "You're up early." " Am I?" " I thought you'd sleep in." "I've got things to do." "4:00?" "What?" "Dr. Browning." "Oh, that's today, right." "Listen..." "I won't be able to make it today." " Nicholas..." " Nothing to worry about." "Who can tell me the significance of Shor's algorithm?" "It's a quantum algorithm used for integer factorization." "It's important because it can, in theory, be used to break the widely used public-key cryptography scheme known as RSA." "RSA is based on the assumption that factoring large numbers is computationally infeasible." "This assumption is valid for classical computers." "No classical algorithm is known that can factor in polynomial time." "Professor Rush?" "Very good." " What are you doing here?" " Sorry, not now." "Weren't you taking Gloria to the oncologist today?" " She wanted to go by herself." " Doesn't sound like her." " Are you sure she really meant it?" " Oh, yes, quite sure." "I thought you'd be worried sick." "I am." "Very concerned." "It's back." "I had a feeling." "You did?" "You never said so." "I can't go through this again." "I can't." "Nick, are you there?" "Are you coming home?" "Yes, soon, soon." " Hi, I'm Dr. Daniel Jackson." " So you are." "Your office told me that you hadn't come in for the day." "I don't have time for this." "You're going to want to hear that." "Is there some place we could talk?" "You're going to tell me about the Stargate program." "Your current dilemma..." "How to unlock the Stargate's ninth and final chevron." "Specifically, how much energy will be required." "How do you know?" "Those details are classified." "The project hasn't even been named yet, has it?" "How about "Icarus"?" "I know because it's already happened..." "And you're just a figment of my imagination." "Reliving all of this is just a necessary evil, an unfortunate side effect to a process I can't control, and it keeps getting in the bloody way of what I need to do." "You, the University, the clouds in the sky, all just a dream, a distant memory," "and one I'd really rather went away." "What the hell's going on?" "His pulse is strong." "BP's elevated, but not dramatically." "He didn't want to involve anyone else." "I am in command of this ship, and that means you don't do anything without involving me." "Do you understand?" "What is all this?" "We modified the interface." "We hope it'll allow us to use the chair without causing damage to the subject..." "And?" "Rush is the first subject." " Let's wake him up." " I can't." "Severing the connection is dangerous." "He has to do it himself." "Without me, Rush still would've done it." "Even after what happened to Franklin?" "This is the only way to unlock control of the ship." "The code has to be in the databank." "Let's forget about Rush for a second." "If he wants to kill himself, so be it." "How do you know this modification you've made is not going to backfire put the whole ship in jeopardy?" "I don't." "How does this new interface work?" "We created a buffer to slow down the transfer of information." "We also limited the connection to a narrow range of the subject's subconscious." "That should protect the vast majority of his brain." "In a worst case, we hope only the memories we targeted could be lost." "If it works, the data stored in the ship's computer should be made available to Rush through a dream." "A dream?" "A semi-lucid one." "Sort of a stimulated recall of the memories in question." "How does he wake up?" "There's a built-in trigger." "It should appear to him as a distinctive door." "He just has to open it and walk through." "He seems stable for now." "Okay, let's say this is working." "Do you have any feedback?" "Do you know what Rush is doing?" "Anything goes wrong, I'm pulling the plug." "Get on a plane." "Go." "I don't want to go alone." " I'll go with you." " Thank you." "The truth is, as much as I'd like to..." "I don't think I have the strength." "My god, Nick..." "Don't worry." "I haven't lost my mind, not yet, anyway, but as you can see, I am rather busy." "Ignoring it isn't helping anyone." "Burying yourself in work this way." " She needs you..." " Thank you for your concern." "But I really cannot deal with any distractions at the moment..." "Is that what your dying wife is to you?" "No, of course not." "She wants to go home." "One last time." "You should take her." "I know you mean well," "I really do." "But I can't go anywhere." "Not now." "Are we okay?" "Sure." "Why not?" "You chose to sit here by yourself instead of with me." "You looked busy." "I need to know that we're going to be okay." "I know you think that I betrayed you, and I'm sorry." "I never meant to hurt you." "It will never happen again." "Your friendship means too much to me." "Never a dull moment." "Shall we see where we are now?" " What do we got?" " Take a look." " Are those buildings?" " Were." "They look like ruins." "It's the first sign of civilization on a planet." " Human?" " No signs of any life." "We should go check it out." "Six hours." "You guys gear up." " I'd like to go." " Me too." "Chloe has been studying all of Dr. Jackson's work." "Really?" " You have?" " Say something archeological." "Stratification." " That's good." " Thank you." "Plus, didn't you say you took ancient history?" " I did." " At Harvard." "I don't see how that helps us billions of light-years from earth, but I get it." "I'm pretty sure we've established this ship is no safer than any planet." "Kidnapped by aliens, right here." "I don't have a problem with you going." "I never said I did." "Just be careful." "Every code that's ever been cracked, every cipher in the last two millennia has been based on those that came before them." "This code, however, is so old there may be no known predecessor." "A proto-encryption?" "Exactly." "How do we attack it with no basis, then?" "None of you?" "Nothing?" "None of you see any pattern in this?" "So, what good are you lot, then?" " Why are you here?" " I've never even seen those symbols..." "Yes, you have!" "You have, because I have, and you are all me!" "Get out!" "All of you just get out!" "It's not their fault." "I know." "I'm the one who can't solve it." "Despite the fact it's right in front of me." "Have you given any thought to what we talked about?" " I'm going to fail at that, too." " I'm sorry?" "Solving the issues of dialing the ninth chevron." "I'll devote two and a half years of my life to that." "Meanwhile, my wife... is going to spend her dying days alone while I'm off, out, trying to solve that little problem..." "And then some kid, some big child with no meaningful education is going to jump in at the last moment..." "And solve it, just like that." "No sense of ambition." "He spends most of his time playing ridiculous games, and yet he's the genius I'll never be." "He's the one who should be here now, seeing what I'm seeing." "Look..." "Obviously you're not yourself right now." "I do understand what it is you're going through." "Yeah, I know." "I lost my wife." "There was nothing I could do nothing to save her." "It's a terrible, helpless feeling." "Yeah, my wife's not the answer." "Data does come quicker when I'm with her, but quicker it's not gonna help me if I can't interpret it." "There's patterns I'm just not seeing." "I'm just saying if you need time, take it, be with her." "That's more important right now." "That's more important than anything." "Thanks, you've been really helpful." "Your nose is bleeding." "The kino really couldn't do this place justice." "It's pretty incredible." "Awesome." "It doesn't look like anybody's been here for a long, long time." "We have about six hours to figure out what happened." "Let's look around." "Progress?" "His nose was bleeding." "It's stopped now." "What does that mean?" "I don't know exactly, but it can't be good for him, the way this thing messes with the brain." "His heart rate and BP have been fluctuating." " You said he was stable." " I said, "for the moment."" "That was over an hour ago." "No way at all to tell if he's having any success?" "All I'm able to monitor is the rate the data's flowing into his mind, and that's been fluctuating as well." "What are the odds that yanking him out of there will kill him?" "I wouldn't even hazard a guess." "I've spent most of the last 20 years watching what I ate, denying myself the things I most loved, and now," "I could eat anything I want, and nothing seems appealing." "Why are you here, Nick?" "Because this is what happened." "You have work to do." "Go and do it." "I am doing it." "It doesn't seem to matter where I am." "You have the chance to change so many things." "The one thing you can't change is what's happening to me." "Don't let that hold you back." "When the time comes, I know you'll be there." "Okay, every time I turn, I see another wall..." "So what do you think that means?" "What do you got, buddy?" "Well, it's pretty cool." "Looks like a network of underground tunnels." "We should check it out." "Why?" " Don't you want to know who once lived here?" " How does that help us?" "So far destiny has stopped on planets that had something on them that we need." "I'm not saying It's not always gonna be the case..." "Did You see anything on the kino?" "But we..." "What could possibly be down there that we would need?" "I don't know." "How about a power source capable of dialing back to Earth?" "Come on." " You never know." " These people They don't look like they were that }seem advanced." "Actually, many advanced alien civilizations found in the Milky Way and Pegasus galaxies lived in what appeared to be primitive stone architecture that concealed extremely powerful technology." "I admit that was a big nerd moment, but it's true, isn't it?" "All right, you got the kino footage." "Let's go." "Yeah, that's the thing." "We don't have the kino footage." "What do you mean?" "It's a bit of a maze down there}..." "You lost it?" "I took a wrong turn trying to steer it out." "I just need to take a look and get my bearings." "The footage may be important." "I'm going to stay up here and cover your backs." "What." "Are you scared?" "That was a joke." "I'm sorry," "I must have mistakenly thought we were on that level now." "You know, friends who can kid each other like that?" " Please don't kill me." " Come on, you can take up the rear." "We won't go far." "What's his problem?" "I didn't think anything scared him." "He's a little claustrophobic." "I need to sit down." ""God is our refuge" ""and strength," ""a very present help in trouble." ""Therefore we shall not fear," ""though the Earth be removed," ""though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea," ""though its waters roar and be troubled," ""though the mountains shake at the swelling thereof." ""There is a river," ""the streams whereof make glad the city of God," " "the holy habitation of the most high..."" " I want you to practice, okay?" "... "God is in the midst of her." ""She will not be moved." ""God will help her" ""when the morning dawns."" " What was that?" " Probably wind." "Anyone else think we've seen enough?" "Weren't you the one hoping for dead bodies?" "Some evidence of human skeletal remains, actually, and there don't seem to be any." "Oh, God, get it off!" "Get it off!" "Get off!" "That's it." "I am out of here!" "Good idea." "Let's go." "Why?" "Don't move." "Oh, my god, what?" "What is it?" "Run." "I think you got it." "Do you read?" "Lieutenant Scott, Sergeant Greer, come in." "This is Scott, sir." "I'm glad to hear your voice, sir." "We are... in a bit of a pickle down here." "What's that?" "We are trapped in an underground tunnel." "We were exploring the ruins." "Sergeant Greer was forced to fire his weapon." "The tunnel collapsed on us." "No one is hurt." "Eli and Chloe are looking for another way out, but if they can't find one, we're going to need help getting out of here, sir." "Why was Sergeant Greer forced to use his weapon?" "There was a spider, sir." "It was approaching Chloe." "A spider?" "It was a sizable spider, sir." "I'll send a team." "Young out." "Less than two hours before we jump into FTL." "This is my fault." "We shouldn't have come down here." "So, the good news is, we haven't run into any more spiders." "Did you find the kino?" "Unfortunately, these tunnels seem to go on forever." "We haven't found any other sort of exit or access to ground level." "We heard wind howling." "That's what you said it was." "Me, I'm already having trouble breathing." " There's air down here." " My heart rate is very high." "Slightly dizzy." "All right, calm down." "There's got to be more than one way in and out of here." "I take it the digging is not going well." "We got C-4." "That's not going to do anything but make this worse." "Colonel Young just radioed through the Gate." "They're sending a rescue team." "And what are they going to do?" "Do you read?" "We hear you." "Where are you?" "We just found the tunnel entrance." "Is everyone okay down there?" "We're fine." "Look..." "How bad is it?" "I'm not going to lie to you." "It does not look good." "We're going to get you out of there." "Let's get to work!" "I'm sorry," "I rang the bell several times, the door was open." "Your nose is bleeding again." "I've got some great news." "Our source inside the Lucian Alliance has come through." "We've got the location of a planet that just might suit our power requirements." "That's terrific." "I'd though you'd be more excited." "I mean, It's going to take some doing." "There's a mining outpost being run by a small.." "Jackson, do you understand anything on that board?" "No, not really." "Why?" "Should I?" "I don't either." "I didn't expect it to just present itself." "I mean, Why should it?" "It's a code." "It's meant to be hidden." "Code for what?" "Destiny." "This is all information stored in her memory banks." "At least I suspect, a small fraction of it." "All completely meaningless to me in this form without context." "And unfortunately," "I don't think staying here any longer is going to make it much clearer." " Are you going somewhere?" " Yep." "I'm done." "How is your wife doing?" "She's dying." "Today, actually." "I really am sorry." "Yes, so am I." "Shouldn't you be with her?" "You keep saying that." "Yeah, it's true, isn't it?" "What's the date today?" "You say your wife is going to die today but you don't remember what day it is?" "..." "No, please, just tell me." "April, 6th." "April the 6th..." "She's taken a turn for the worse." "The doctors say the situation's very grave." "They don't think she's going to make it for the day, thank you." "April, 6." " What does that mean?" " I don't know." "But Gloria didn't die on April 6." "Well, it's not the ultimate answer to life, to universe and everything, that's 42." " Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy." " Yes, Thank you, you've been very helpful." "The address of this house is number 4, not 46." "Why does it say 46 on the door?" "Well, 46 divided by 2 is 23." "I'm sure you've heard of the 23 enigma." "Yeah, it refers to some ridiculous notion that everything and anything is connected to the number 23." "Most rational people acknowledge the enigma is merely evidence of the mind's power to perceive truth in almost anything." "Yeah, if you look for it, you're gonna find it." "So, what is this?" "Is this my mind playing tricks?" "Am I seeing something that's not there?" "Convincing myself this is somehow significant." "Lieutenant James this is Colonel Young, come in." "I wish I had a better news for you, sir." "We're doing the best we can, but things are pretty slow-moving." "You're running out of time." "Yes, sir." "We know." "Can I panic now?" "We've got less than half an hour." "We're not gonna make it." "Seriously, what are we gonna do?" "Sir, he just suffered from some sort of cardiac event." "He seems somewhat stabilized, but I don't know of much more of this he can take." "Leaving him in there is gonna kill him?" "I think so, sir." "It's just a matter of time." "And you say plugging him out can kill him too." "I know I advised against it, but maybe it's better to opt for a risk over a certainty the risk is better than the certainty." "Unfortunately, Things are not going well on the planet." "Looks like We won't have enough time to dig them out." "However, if Rush can find the master code, we may be able to stall Destiny's jump into FTL." "We risk sacrificing Rush." "According to you, he's chosen to stay connected to that chair." "He may not be aware of the danger he's in." "If we jump to FTL, Eli, Scott, Greer and Chloe are gonna be left behind." "So right now, looks like their best chance is Rush." "We couldn't find any other access." "Maybe it's time we made one." "Lieutenant, we're running out of time." "We know." "We're going to use C-4 to try and blow a hole in the top of the tunnel." "How far back do you estimate you are you from the collapsed opening?" "Not far." "About 10 meters." "Move as far back as you can, and let me know when you're clear." "Copy that." "Let's go, guys." " Good?" " We'll see." "We're ready up here." "Hopefully, we're clear down here." "Fire in the hole!" " Lieutenant, do you read?" " Yeah, we're still here." "Doesn't look like that had the desired effect." "No, sir." "We just made things a lot worse." "I'm sorry." "No, it's not your fault, Lt. You did the best you could." "Get your team back to the ship." "Sir, we still have time..." "Not much." "That was an order, lieutenant." "Go." "You're not here for me." "I've already been through this." "No, you haven't." "Not really." "I was here." "You can't lie to yourself." "You chose this memory because it's one you'd rather just forget." "What you need is here now." "That's why you're here." "It's not for me." "You just want your answer." "I need an answer." "You're dying." "I know." "You'd rather die than fail?" "What have you become, Nicholas?" "The things you've done, it's not who you are." "It's not you." "I always had it in me..." "To make the hard decisions." "I have reasons." "Good reasons." "To hurt people?" "Are you sure?" "You tell yourself my death gave you courage." "In truth, it made you callous." "You're not the man I loved." "He died with you." "I was never your conscience, Nicholas." "You still have one of your own." "You just need to listen to it." "Some people live their whole lives and never find what we had." "Don't let what happened to me change you this way." "It's nobody's fault." "I know..." "I know that." "It's one stupid gene." "Passed on to me by my mother, incapable of performing its one simple function, to repair damaged DNA." "That's it, isn't it?" "That's why you're here." "Of course." "Go." "I know how much you loved me." "Stop taking it out on everyone else." "I haven't forgotten you, Gloria..." "And I never will." "Now, Listen to me." "We got five minutes to stop this ship from jumping into FTL." "Peoples' lives are depending on it." "I can't..." "I can't do that." "I can't do that..." "I can't do anything about that..." "Lieutenant Scott, can you hear me?" "We can't stop it." "Understood, sir." "God be with you, Colonel." "All of you." "It's not over, son." "Don't give up." "They just jumped." "What are you doing out of the infirmary?" "I got work to do, Colonel." "How about solving the access code that's going to allow us to turn this ship around?" "Funnily enough..." " I thought you didn't find anything." " I didn't say that." "I said I couldn't stop the ship then and there." "Even though it nearly killed me," "I managed to find a clue which may give us control of this ship once and for all." "A clue?" "46." "That seems a little too simple." "It's the number of chromosomes in human DNA." " Genetic code." " This helps us how?" "We know in other cases, with their later technologies, that the Ancients used sensors that restricted access by detecting specific genetic markers." "The access code to the Destiny is not like that." "It's definitely numerological." "The problem we've had cracking it is that we had no basis," " nowhere to start." " We were just taking wild shots in the dark." " And now?" " Now we know where to start." "They used their own genetic code, likely a specific one." "More evolved than ours, no doubt, but all we have to do now is run through the variations." "We're still talking about billions of possibilities here." "I've written a program which is going to go through the permutations." "So how long is this going to take?" "Several days." "Really?" " Or several years..." " I was trying to being a little bit more optimistic." "That's a little different for you." "All this, this was... worth risking your life for?" "We'll see."
