SGU Stargate Universe (2009–2011): Season 1, Episode 15 - Lost - full transcript

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 offense 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 what they 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.
