SGU Stargate Universe (2009–2011): Season 1, Episode 12 - Divided - full transcript

Now safely returned to the Destiny, both Chloe and Dr. Rush are having nightmares about their period of captivity. Rush believes that the aliens are only after one thing - the Destiny itself. They find a tracking device attached to the underside of the ship and manage to destroy it. Rush and Camile Wray however are concerned at Col. Young's actions and decide to protect their own interests by forcing them to submit to civilian authority. Rush's attempt at getting control of the ship's and sealing off the military personnel in one part of the ship computer nearly results in Young and Lt. Scott's death. When the aliens reappear and once again attack the ship, Eli realizes how they were found.

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,

this 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.

Colonel, I'm curious
about the...

Incident with Dr. Rush.

I managed to
activate the systems

on the crashed ship.

Aliens showed up.

Do not engage.

Chloe may be onboard
one of those ships.

I don't think they
did want to destroy us.

What they really
want is Destiny.

Another nightmare?

Every time I close my eyes.

Maybe you should talk to T.J.

No, it's not the dream, it's...



What?

Look, you're...

They're gone, okay?

We got you back,
you're safe now.

So, move on?

Get over it, right?

That's not what I'm saying.

Forget it.

I want to help you.

No, it's fine.

I just...

I just need to clear my head.

Same dream?

Yeah.

Me too.

What did they do to us?

I don't remember everything.

Yeah, me neither.

Maybe that's a good thing.

Everyone thinks we're safe.

They think that

they'll never find us again.

We're not safe, are we?

No.

We need to talk.

I was thinking the same thing.

Were you, now?

The communication stones.

What about them?

You took one.

It's the only explanation.

You were the first
to open the box.

You kept one for yourself.

And why would I do that?

Maybe you thought

it was some kind of
insurance policy, I don't know.

You probably thought

it wasn't safe to keep
in your room,

especially after
that whole incident

with Spencer's gun.

So you kept one with you.

That's how the aliens
got hold of one,

And that's how I wound up
on that ship.

Oh, well.

Doesn't sound like
a denial, Rush.

What we should really
be worried about

is how they found us
in the first place.

Well, I figure they tracked
the signal from the stone...

We don't even know
how that signal works.

Maybe they're smarter than us?

Well, they're advanced, sure,

But not as advanced
as the ancients.

I suspect it's something
much simpler.

Like what?

Subspace tracking device.

We took care of the ship
you brought over.

Yeah, but there may be
another one...

Attached to
the outside of the hull.

Where is this coming from?

I was in direct neural contact
with one of the aliens

for quite some time.

Ever since, I've been having...

Flashes.

Images.

Of what?

You don't know?

No, I don't know,

but what I do know is,

they've been tracking
this ship for some time,

long, long before we got here.

For them,

Destiny's something
like an obsession.

Look, we're out of FTL,
will be for several hours.

Now's the perfect time
to take a look.

Kino's through.

Mr. Brody,

please dial back

the tensile strength
of the shield.

Roger that.

You know, it's a big ship.

This could take a while.

You have something
better to do?

Keep me posted.

Can I have a word
with you, Colonel?

All right.

Not here.

I don't know
exactly what happened

on that planet

between you and Rush,

and maybe
I don't want to know.

Spit it out, sergeant.

Well, we never did find out

who put that weapon
in your quarters, sir.

No.

There has been
some speculation.

I'll bet.

As far as I'm concerned,

We were better off
without him.

I just want you to know

that whatever happens...

Colonel Young, come in.

Go ahead.

We've found it.

It's on the underside
of the ship.

I just, I fed the kino track

into the shuttle controls,

so it should lead
you right there...

Any time now, lieutenant.

Yes, sir.

All right, guys,

ship's jumping to FTL
in a little over one hour.

That's plenty of time.

What is this place?

Well, as far as I can tell,

It's some kind of
ancient research lab.

Not exactly ideal
for our purposes,

But the level of connectivity
with the ship's main systems

should be adequate.

Do we have to do it now?

We'll never get
a better opportunity.

You should really get
your people in position.

Eli...

Hey. What are you
doing here?

I want to see the alien ship.

You know it's just parked there
to track us.

I know, but I want to see it.

Come in.

There it is.

How long has it
been on the ship?

Rush says since
before we got here,

although it's not entirely
clear how he knows.

He knows.

Weapons hot...

Target locked.

Weapons firing.

That's it.

They can't get to us anymore.

Brody...

Brody, where are you?

Hydroponics.

All right, stay there.

It's on.

What, now?

You signed off on this.

Yeah, I know, I know.
I just...

Stand by.

Hey.

Hi.

Didn't expect to
see you down here.

Yeah, I just wanted to check on
some of the medicinals here.

Right, sure.

Brody!

Yeah, yeah, I'll...

Meet up with you
in about a half an hour.

Okay? Bye.

That was...

That was just...

Volker and his...

Bridge club.

So...

Okay.

Docking procedure.

Sir, I'm reading a negative
on the docking clamps.

Let's reset.

Still negative.

Eli, we've got a problem.

The dockinclamps
will not engage.

What?
That's impossible.

Hang on.

Eli...

What the hell?

I'm locked out.

What do you mean
you're locked out?

Someone's
transferring controls

to another station.

I've got nothing.

Sir, the door
won't open either.

We're jumping to FTL
in about eight minutes.

What happens

if the ship's not locked down?

The shield won't envelop
the shuttle.

And what?

I don't know for sure.

Nothing good, I know that.

Eli...

The shuttle
wouldn't go into FTL

with the rest of the ship.

Which means what?

I'm not sure,

but I think the shuttle
would be vaporized.

Seven minutes.

All right...

Eli, let's...
Let's think this through.

You said somebody was
transferring controls?

Yeah, that's what
it looks like from here.

Well, can you do
something about it?

Stay calm.

Take your time.

Five minutes, sir.

I'll bet you a buck.

Rush, this is Young.

Over.

Greer, this is Colonel Young.

Go ahead, sir.

Take a detail.
Find Rush now.

Yes, sir.

Four minutes.

Stop it.
Stop it now.

Chloe, we've talked
about this...

The shuttle docking
clamps won't engage.

What?

You have to stop.

But I can't.

They're going to die.

I can't stop
in the middle of this.

They are going to die!

Dammit!

Eli, this is Dr. Rush,
come in.

Go ahead.

Now, listen carefully.

I'm in the process

of transferring access
to the computer

away from
the control interface room.

Now, there's nothing
you can do to stop that.

All you're doing
is slowing it down.

Let me complete the transfer,

Then I'll lock down
the clamps manually.

Don't listen to him, Eli.

Keep doing what you're doing.

Eli, we're in no
man's land here.

Neither of us have control.

Now, let me finish
before we jump to FTL.

Don't do it, Eli.
That is an order.

Two minutes, sir.

What's going on?

The shuttle can't dock,
and we're about to jump.

I didn't know the transfer
would cause this to happen.

Shut it down.

I don't have everything yet.

If I stop now, Eli's
going to shut me out,

and our position
will be compromised.

- Colonel?
- Negative.

Eli, do not let that man
take over a single system.

He's doing it anyway.

The transfer's almost complete.

I know why you're doing this.

I also know you agreed
that nobody should get hurt.

We could lose
everyone on our side.

Shut it down!

I got it!

I got it!

Let's go.

Good work, Eli.

So, where do we stand?

How much control do we have?

We're about to find out.

What the hell?

Come on!

Eli.

It's Rush.

He's sealing off corridors
all over the ship.

Brody, why's your
radio turned off?

Is there a problem?

Sorry...

You weren't supposed
to be down here.

Guys, what is it?

What's happening?

Get out of my way.

Put the gun down.

I'm not going
to ask you again.

Just take it easy.

Airman, what are you doing?

Something's going
on, lieutenant.

We're cut off from
the rest of the ship.

I'm trying to report
to the Colonel,

but these people
won't let me through.

I'm sorry.

It was inevitable that
a few people would be stuck

on the wrong side of the line.

What line?

We've sealed off Colonel Young

and most of the
military personnel.

To put it bluntly,

we've taken the ship.

Put the gun down.

Not a chance.

Camile, why you doing this?

Colonel Young's actions
left me no choice.

I'm doing this on behalf
of all the civilians

onboard this ship.

What do I do?

Well, we're not going
to go shoot anybody.

Put the gun down.

Now, everyone just
needs to remain calm.

This will be over soon enough.

Rush, this is Young.

I know exactly what
you're trying to do,

and there is no way in hell

that I am going to let
you get away with it.

I'm not acting alone, Colonel.

Besides,

What's done is done.

I already have
the food and water supplies,

plus control of
all accessible systems

has been transferred
over to the consoles

on my side of the line.

What is it?

That...

That's not entirely true.

He stopped the transfer
prematurely

so I could lock down
the shuttle,

which saved your
lives, by the way...

Moving on...

That left us control
with one key system...

Life support.

So you mean that we can
shut down their heat and air

on the other side
whenever we want?

We wouldn't do that.

Do you have any idea

what's going on here?

No.

As a matter of fact, I don't.

Am I the only one?

You've got our attention.

What do you want?

All military personnel

to hand over their
weapons immediately

and submit to
civilian authority.

Is that it?

Well, it does tend to be

how civilized people structure
their societies, Colonel,

be that as in nations

or in microcosm.

As opposed to what?

Military dictatorship.

That's got to stop.

Well, Eli tells me there
might be a problem

with your plan.

Something to do with
life support.

I was hoping that he
wouldn't notice that.

Anyway, I've done
the calculations.

We're occupying
a much larger area,

therefore we have
a greater volume of air.

Plus we have
the hydroponics lab

producing some oxygen.

Not enough
to make a difference.

If you cut us off right now,

we'd have at least three days,

which is around about
the same amount of time

you would have to go
without water.

If it comes down
to a contest...

Well, I'm not sure
what the final outcome would be,

But it wouldn't be pretty.

It's not pretty now.

Sergeant...

What did he say?

Nothing,

But they're still
pumping air in here.

He'll give in.

He's got no choice.

We have the gate room
and the communication room.

He's completely cut off.

Yeah, but he still
has one thing

that might make a difference.

Come on, buddy, you got this.

It's a very complicated
lock-out program, okay?

I'm going to need some time.

So, I got a head count.

Lieutenant Johansen
and airman Dunning

are unaccounted for,

so I think we can assume that
they are on the other side.

Of course,

just because someone's
on the other side,

Doesn't necessarily mean
they're,

You know, on the other side.

Obviously not.

We've got half
a dozen civilians,

All of which claim
to know nothing.

What about Chloe?

She's with them.

Like I said...

How's it coming?

Slowly,

and it doesn't help that
I'm starting to get hungry.

Low blood sugar
is not my friend.

It's not the food
that I'm worried about.

It's the water.

If dehydration sets in,

We're going to be
in a lot of trouble.

Is there anything
we can do about it?

They've offered a trade.

A limited amount
of food and water

in exchange for Eli.

Me?

I've already agreed to it.

Sir, he's the only one
who can get us around

whatever Rush did
to those computers.

I know that,
and they know that,

and that's why they want Eli,

but there is another way in.

All right, guys, I'm here,

And as you can see...

I am alone.

Open the door.

Whoa!

Irony.

Put it down.

Come on.

So...

Here we are.

I can't help but notice

that you seem to be,

well, working
with these people.

What did you think,
I was a prisoner?

I was hoping they...

Wait a minute.

In the control room,

when you came by,

were you just trying
to distract me?

So that I wouldn't notice
what Rush was doing?

What?

Don't "what" me...

No...

Of course not.

Look, I knew it was coming,
but I didn't know when.

Believe me
or don't believe me.

It doesn't matter.

I guess...

I'm just a little surprised

you're taking Rush's
side against Young.

Rush was an inconvenience,

so Colonel Young left him
on that planet to die.

Deliberately.

The hole the aliens
cut in the hull

is on the other side
of the line,

on their six.

Suit up.

Sir...

Lieutenant,
I already told you,

I want you here
in case it doesn't work.

We shouldn't have given them
food and water.

It's just going to
give them more time.

That doesn't matter.

They know they've got no choice.

Why don't they just
give it up, then?

He's a full bird Colonel

in the United
States air force.

He's used to getting his way,

but he also knows

that every military
in the free world

takes orders from
a civilian government.

We just need to stick together
until he remembers that.

I'll leave you to it.

To what?

Once again, Eli,

I find myself
in need of your assistance.

What exactly are you doing?

We are going to squeeze
every last ounce of power

out of the ship's systems,

and then when we're done,

we're going to find some more.

What for?

The shields.

We're going to need them.

The tracking devise was on
that ship that we blew up.

One tracking device
was on that ship.

There's another one?

Surgically implanted
in my chest,

next to my heart.

Colonel...

We got to go.

This is insane!

Does anyone else
know about this?

Chloe.

I had to be sure
she wasn't implanted too.

And?

There's no surgical scar.

They're almost
within weapons range.

I'm dialing up the shield.

Wait!

Maybe...

Maybe that's the wrong plan.

I mean, maybe we should

throw everything we have
into weapons.

We can't take on
three ships at once.

Well, we can't
run away from them either.

That's exactly why
I have to do this.

If we can survive
until the next jump,

they're going to realize
they can't get past the shields,

and they're going to give up.

You don't know that.

That's the way it's been
for a long time, Eli.

They attack, they try
and get onboard,

the ship's automated defenses

stop them.

They're attacking us now

because they're hoping
we're going to make a mistake.

Don't!

Eli, do you want to die?

No, but...

That's exactly
what's going to happen

if you don't let me do this.

No...

What's the matter with you?

Right.

What?

Sure.

You'll open the door
for Scott and his team,

and I'll go find Rush.

I just wanted to see
if there's anything you need.

You can let us out of here.

Don't worry,

You won't have to stay in here
for much longer.

I know, because the Colonel's
going to take back the ship.

You don't have any idea
what you're up against.

I think we do.

Not a clue.

Sorry, but a bunch
of civilians

up against the
Colonel's training

and experience?

It's about listening to reason.

Not once you took the ship.

That made it war,

And that's what we do.

It's not going to make
life on this ship any easier,

And it's not going to make
what those aliens did to you

any better.

Neither will anything
you could possibly say to me.

What was that?

They're back.

What's happening?

Stay here.

This is Wray. Report.

We've got company.

So I figured.

Let's go.

Sergeant?

They're fine.

I went easy on 'em.

That's it.

That's all the power
we're going to get.

The shields are holding.

Listen up.

If you have to use force,
so be it,

But we still have to
live with these people tomorrow.

Remember that.

Go.

Yes, sir.

What is going on?

They found us again.

How?

We knew this was coming.

We're prepared.

Who's we?

I know Rush is the only
person on this ship

who has any idea what
you've been through,

but it doesn't mean
that you can trust him.

He saved my life

when Colonel Young was
ready to sacrifice us both.

We can't afford to have
a majority vote

every time a decision
needs to be made, Chloe.

We need a leader.

Chloe?

All right, put the gun down.

You guys okay?

Yeah, we're fine.

All right, come on, let's go.

You were surgically implanted

with a tracking device.

Is that what this
was all about?

You thought if Young was
in command he'd, what,

throw you out of an airlock?

Given my previous experience,

It's hardly
an unreasonable assumption,

And, remember,
this was your idea.

Doesn't matter
whose idea it was.

It's over.

Everybody down, now!

On the floor!

Now!

Get down!

I said get down!

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

Just... Wait.

Greer...

Get the weapons online.

He can't.

Why?

I created a separate
lockout code for that system.

Give him the code.

No.

We're under attack.

I know.
The best form of defense

is to devote all of our
power to the shields.

That's not your
decision to make.

It's already been done.

Really?

Well, maybe I should just
shoot you right now.

Colonel?

Get 'em out of here.

Wait!

He has a transmitter
implanted in his chest.

That's how they've
been following us.

Even if we survive
to the next jump,

they'll just track us again.

T.J., take care of it.

What?

Cut it out.

I can't just go

digging around in his chest.

She's not qualified for this.

We'll use the stones.
We'll get someone who is...

We're not equipped for this.
Are you crazy? This is insane!

You know...

That we've got to get
that transmitter out.

Sir, I don't recommend

giving up any military personnel
at this particular moment.

I'll do it.

I don't need to know
what I'm doing.

It won't be me, right?

T.J., this is
Dr. Brightman.

Lieutenant.

Thank you.

What did you give him?

An anesthetic I made
from the venom of a creature

we ran into a while back.

In low doses,
it'll knock you out pretty good.

You gave him alien venom?
Is that safe?

Well, without it,
we'd all be dead right now.

Okay.

I thought at first we were
going to have to go in blind,

but then Eli, he's
one of our people,

came up with this.

It's a camera.

He took it out of a kino.

What's a...?

It's like a video transmitter.

Anyway, we took it apart
and mounted it on that,

And that way we can go in
arthroscopically.

What is that?

Yeah, we're under attack.

What?

Shields are holding.
We're good.

Welcome to Destiny.

All right, that's it.

That's it?
We got weapons?

I found a way around
the lock-out, but think...

What?

I think Rush might be
right about this one.

If I'm reading this correctly,

The shields can't take
much more.

All the more reason
to shoot back.

We can't spare the power.

Weaken the shields
even a little,

And I think they might
collapse completely.

Well, that's what's going
to happen anyway, isn't it?

Yes,

but maybe, if we're lucky,
not before we jump.

Maybe?

Yeah.

You got something
I can hold this open with?

Thank you.

Lieutenant, can you
hold that, please?

Thank you.
Hold it up.

Thank you.

Okay...

Okay, I see it.

Getting it out's going to
be a bit tricky, but...

Are you okay?

Oh, God!

Oh, my God!

Chloe?

Eli, this is Scott.

We just lost the connection.

What the heck is
going on down there?

Say again?

We've lost the connection.

The doctor is gone.

Maybe-maybe there's
too much interference

with all the enemy
fire on the shields?

Fix it.

What?
I'm guessing as it is!

Sorry, you're on your own.

T.J., you get
that thing out of him.

Shields aren't going to last
much longer.

There's nothing I can do.

How long till we jump?

Just over a minute.

T.J...

You get that thing out of him
right now,

Or I'm going to have to!

He's coming to!

Hold him down, hold him down!

Give him another dose
of anesthetic.

What are you doing to me?

Hold him steady,
hold him steady...

Okay, I can see it.

Chloe...

I need you to hold this.

Okay...

There it is.

Okay...

All right, I got it.

Now pull it out.

I got it.
Give it here.

We got it.

Shields are barely registering!

We're jumping!

Okay, we can close him up.

Nice work.

How'd we do, sir?

Well, the ship's
taken some damage.

Eli's looking into it.

Anyway, we're still here.

All right, everyone,

I need all of you to head
back into your quarters now.

Everyone.

Sir, we can't guard 'em all

if we let them split up.

It's over, sergeant.

All right, people,

you heard the man.

Let's go!

So...

I'm open to suggestions.

Obviously, we need to find
a way to work together.

Pretend it never
happened, you mean.

You shouldn't have left
him on the planet.

You think I don't know that?

It's not over, sir.

No, it isn't.
