Stargate Atlantis

Previously in Stargate Atlantis...

You have some Wraith DNA.

My father told people that it was a gift.

I could help my people by warning them of the Wraith's approach.

No matter how many Wraith ships they destroyed,

more kept coming.

You seem to think Teyla might be able to tap into this

Wraith psychic network?

If she can,

we'll be able to gather all the intel we ever needed about them.

I would not even consider asking you to do this

if I didn't think it could potentially provide us with some vital information.

And Doctor Beckett will remain on hand at all times to monitor your physiology.

I am on a ship...

You are all so pathetic.

Shotgun is it?

Come on!

I don't know why I have to do this?

What?

Nobody said anything.

You don't have to, do you. Look it's not my fault things are hard to find

- on the bottom of the ocean! - Rodney,

you said you knew where it was.

I said I knew its last known location. It is a mobile drilling station, remember?

Obviously, that's gonna take a few hours.

If we don't find it soon, this is going to be your last known location.

OK kids, do I have to pull this thing over?

It's hard enough being in this damn thing for hours without listening to you guys.

Actually, Dr McKay has managed to narrow the search field to a remarkably small area.

Finally! A voice of reason.

Thank you Dr...

Graydon.

Yes, yes, of course. Welcome to the team.

I've been here almost eight months.

Really?

It's been that long, has it? Time certainly flies.

Of course, not when you're sitting in a Jumper looking for a needle in a haystack.

You know what? Shut up!

You know what, you shut up, McKay!

I don't hear Grayson complaining!

It's Graydon... with a D.

What?

You sure?

It... it... it's my name.

No, no, no, cos I could have sworn that the guy I wanted from your department was called Grayson,

cos I remember thinking Dick Grayson, Bruce Wayne's ward.

Well it's Graydon.

Guess that means I hired the wrong guy.

Well, we're still glad you came.

Oh, sorry.

I was preoccupied thinking about the geothermal drilling platform.

Shouldn't take us much longer.

We just passed a thermal layer and I'm getting

some readings, a couple of hundred feet ahead.

If we did manage to find an alternate and potentially limitless power supply,

well that would make even this insufferably long search

seem worthwhile.

OK, kids, we're here.

Well,

hopefully it won't take too much

longer to power up this station.

That wasn't so hard.

All I gotta do is dock this thing and

we can find out what this place is all about.

Season 3, Episode 18 Submersion

Transcript by Callie Sullivan & Suzanna

All systems are online and functioning at full capacity.

You mean we're generating power already?

Well, no, but we probably could if we wanted to.

No, slow down.

The Ancients abandoned this project for a reason.

Let's try to find out what that reason might be before

we start drilling into the planet's crust.

Yes well, fair enough.

Have we not been down this hallway before?

Every corridor looks the same.

Don't worry, I have an uncanny sense of direction.

I think she's right. We've been down this way before.

That's impossible. We took a left and a left and then a right.

Hey look, all I'm saying is...

What?

I'm sensing a Wraith presence nearby.

Are you sure? We're... pretty deep underwater.

I cannot be certain,

but I believe it is onboard the drilling platform.

This is Sheppard.

Everyone drop what you're doing, get back to the control room immediately.

We did a complete lifesigns scan.

It was the first thing we did when we stepped aboard this station.

Look, I promise you, there is nobody here but us.

No, Rodney.

And I'm sensing it even closer now.

Well, maybe it's the pressure, it's been known to do things to the mind.

Just humour me and check again.

There!

All of these lifesigns have been accounted for.

Humoured?

Wraith don't show up on life signs detectors if they're hibernating.

I know what I am sensing.

There is no Wraith here, I'm telling you!

- Has your sense ever been wrong? - Never!

And I cannot shake this feeling.

- I trust her. - As opposed to irrefutable fact!

- Your machines don't know everything. - I never said that they did!

There is a way for me to be sure.

If I can reach out with my mind and establish a link...

It's a little reckless, don't you think?

If there is no Wraith, then there will be no mind for me to link with

and therefore no risk,

but if there is a Wraith nearby...

We need to know.

I'm ready.

You sure?

The briefest contact will determine whether or not I'm right.

That's all we need, so don't stick around any longer.

And we will bring you out of it at the first sign of trouble.

- Just to be sure... - It's already set to stun.

Sorry!

Teyla?

I was mistaken.

- There is nothing there. - Well...

that's good!

I'm sorry.

No reason to be sorry.

Perhaps it was the effect of the pressure at this depth.

Well, if you've ever seen The Abyss,

pressure can make you nuts...

Not that I think you're nuts!

It's alright, John.

I'm relieved.

So am I.

Well, we have a lot of exploring to do.

"We"?

Until Rodney delivers the preliminary status reports, I'm all yours.

Put me to work, Colonel.

Alright, let's make up some time, break into teams.

Ronon you're with Teyla, Elizabeth you're with me, or...

I'm with you. However you wanna put it.

Either way...

or either way.

That was weird.

Well, we are at the very bottom of the ocean.

Maybe you're right.

Teyla's just experiencing the effects of the pressure.

Hopefully not as bad as that guy in The Abyss.

This place is big, huh?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Why?

You just haven't said a word.

Have I not?

No.

Has my silence made you... uncomfortable?

No.

Your friendship is very important to me.

I would hate to do anything that made you...

uncomfortable.

OK. Well...

I'm good.

Rodney...

what's going on?

What do you mean, what's going on?

We've just lost the lights.

What?

- You're right. - Yes, we can see that!

We just lost power to forty percent of the station.

Sensors are currently offline. Zelenka, what are you doing?

What do you mean, what am I doing?

Have you lost power where you are?

No.

Have you?

No!

We have!

I wanna know what's going on.

You know, this station has been lying idle down here for a few millenia.

We're bound to blow a few fuses.

Look, I'll have power back on in a minute, just hang tight.

Ronon, Teyla.

Report your position.

Ronon, Teyla, come in.

Ronon?

Teyla?

Rodney, we've lost contact with Ronon and Teyla, you know their position?

No, negative. Internal sensors are out, but I have determined the location where the power went down.

It's in auxillary control area, search grid six.

It's the deck that Teyla and Ronon were exploring.

We'll meet you there.

OK. Davidson!

- It's... Dickenson, sir. - Yeah well, I was in the ballpark,

give me a break here. Look, get back to the Jumper,

see if you can use its sensors to determine the location of our people within the drilling platform.

- Sir. - Graydon, you go with him.

There you are.

Weapons fire.

9 mil. This way!

Oh yes, let's race towards the gunfire.

Ronon, Teyla, come in.

Are you alright?

No!

Did you see who attacked you?
