Stargate Universe

This is what destiny intended

From the moment it entered the star system.

: That ship

Is the best chance we have of getting home.

Are we done?

We'll never be done.

: You shouldn't have left him on the planet.

: You think I don't know that?

: Everyone thinks we're safe.

They think that they'll never find us again.

Why did you take one of our people prisoner?

: We're not safe, are we?

- They're coming! - Who's coming?

Lucian alliance. They're coming to take destiny.

: There's only one way this is going to end

If we wait.

: I'm not surrendering this ship.

I want to know

How long you plan on keeping us locked up.

What do we have to do to earn our freedom?

Prove to me that you're not a threat.

: My mom was a nurse.

She got stuck by a needle

Trying to restrain a junkie in the e.R.

She got h.I.V.

: Do whatever you need to do

To get yourself back home,

'cause I'm going to be here.

What happened?

You were shot.

There is no leg wound.

It's almost completely healed.

How is that possible?

I don't know.

Hey.

What are you doing in here?

Are you okay?

I don't know how I got here.

The last thing I remember, I was lying down for a nap.

Sleepwalking?

I used to do it all the time

As a kid.

My dad had to put an alarm on the front door to make--

I'll see you later.

Oh...

Okay.

Seriously.

And it's not just this one thing.

She been acting a little odd

For a while now.

You know what I'm talking about, right?

It's not just me noticing--

No, no. You're right.

She's been acting... Different.

She's quiet and withdrawn.

We should talk to her about it.

I did.

I mean, I tried, yesterday.

And?

And nothing.

She wasn't in the mood.

She was too busy writing in her diary.

She keeps a diary?

It's kind of a therapy for her.

It's all the stress of being on the ship--

Oh, and what about that gunshot wound on her leg?

No one heals that fast.

How do you explain that?

Eli...

I can't.

You need to use the stones.

Your mother's sick.

What...

Is she--

I don't know the details,

Just that they want you to go back as soon--

You need to sleep, nic.

Nicholas...

Yes, yes. Soon.

Manipulating the countdown clock

Is, um... Complicated, to say the least.

So many variables tied into it.

Well, that's the problem, isn't it?

A myriad of systems, each as complicated as the next.

Made worse

By one man trying to do the work of an entire crew.

Well, for now,

I just need to control the countdown clock,

And if you are indeed the ship,

Why aren't you helping me?

What are you reallyy hoping to gain?

Control of the ship is key to the mission.

: Dr. Rush, this is brody.

Come in.

Go ahead.

We just dropped out of ftl.

Yes, I'm aware of that, thank you.

But again, no gates in range.

: And now we're banking left,

Changing course again.

It doesn't make sense.

Dr. Rush?

Dr. Rush?

Look, I'm sorry,

I can't get away right now.

Where are you?

What are you doing?

Rush out.

This is getting ridiculous.

Getting old, is what it is.

She stopped taking her treatment.

Unfortunately, her counts dropped,

Dipping below 300.

Opening the door for pneumonia.

We've re-started the avr therapy,

And we're successfully treating the pneumonia.

Her counts have leveled off,

So physically, she's on the mend,

But if she stops taking her treatment again--

Don't let her.

Okay, when she returns home--

Don't release her. Keep her here.

We will monitor her condition closely,

But what concerns me

Is she is still clearly suffering from depression.

One of our psychiatrists has been treating her,

But hasn't made much progress,

Which is why we sent for you.

Look, whether here or at home, she has to want to get better.

There's no room for error now.

If her counts drop below 200--

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Aids.

I'll be down the hall if you need me.

Hi.

I'm... Airman tracy.

I've been working with your son, eli.

Is he all right?

Yeah, he's fine.

He really wanted to be here,

But the military,

They've got him pretty tied up.

He's doing great things, though,

Working really hard.

Anyway,

He heard about you being in the hospital.

Tell him I'm fine.

No, but see, he... He knows you're not fine.

He told me about your condition.

He heard you stopped taking your meds,

And he's really...

Really worried about you.

Not enough to be here himself.

Yeah, it's me.

: I was just checking.

Where are we?

What?

You and me. Our relationship.

I mean...

If we had met in a different situation,

Away from this ship,

Would we still be together?

Of course.

It's just...

This is all kind of new to me, you know?

I've never been all that great at... Relationships,

And... I just want to make sure that I don't mess this up.

You've been kind of quiet lately,

So I start wondering, and thinking--

Matt...

Ta-dah, your favorite.

Mm.

I am really missing your cooking.

Hmm. Microwave's getting a lot of work, huh?

: Yeah, and take-out.

Mostly take-out.

You know me.

I work most nights, so...

A lot of pizza.

Everything okay?

Of course.

You're here.

Everything is perfect.

Ah...

Mm.

It's really good.

Go.

You're releasing them?

We can't keep them locked up forever, sergeant.

Sir, I beg to differ.

We're not doing it without strings attached.

They've been giving us intel.

The more they give,

The more they get.

The decision's made, sergeant.

I've put an escort

On each lucian alliance member,

So it's not like they're walking around free.

Excuse me, colonel?

Have you seen chloe?
