Colya's demands are simple. He wants all of the C-4, medical supplies, a Puddle Jumper and the Wraith data device and his team will leave without incident -- or so he says. Sheppard, who has overheard this, immediately goes and hides the explosives. Meanwhile, McKay is left alone with Colya, whose men holds the squeamish scientist captive with a knife.Weir returns and finds McKay's arm bleeding heavily. He says he caved, but it is not clear what information he has given out. Meanwhile, the soldiers return with no C-4; only a walkie-talkie with Sheppard on the other end, saying Colya will never locate the explosives. But Colya is aware of the plan to save Atlantis. He tells Sheppard to uncouple the final grounding rod and make it so the shield will work, and Colya will allow them to leave peacefully. "Atlantis will be ours or the oceans," he says.Weir attempts to dissuade Colya from what he is doing, ensuring that the descendents of the Ancients are the ones who are meant to use Atlantis to destroy the Wraith, but Colya is amazed by her arrogance, believing his people may be equally -- or more -- close to the ancestry of the Ancestors. He intends to use Atlantis himself to destroy the Wraith.Sheppard arrives at the fourth grounding rod and uses an Ancient scanner to locate the two Genii soldiers in hiding, killing them and evening the score. But in the firefight one of the soldiers has destroyed the grounding controls. There is now no way to separate the rod, and Atlantis is doomed. Colya is not finished, though. He tells Sheppard that he's going to shoot Dr. Weir. Sheppard warns that he will destroy the city if that happens, but Colya knows that two command codes are required. As Sheppard begins to bargain, Colya raises his weapon against her. |
