Crime Scene Guy: I thought I'd seen everything.
Sheppard: Yeah, me too. One day we'll learn.
Sheppard: I've got eight bodies in three months and I don't like it when the lead coroner on my case gets replaced by somebody who doesn't look old enough to be in medical school.
Keller: Maybe someone feels the need for some fresh eyes on the case.
Sheppard: They should've just replaced me.
Keller: D'you have any leads?
Sheppard: Got a bunch of bodies being dumped in the desert and it looks like the life's been sucked out of ‘em.
Keller: You really think that's possible?
Sheppard: I don't know where you're from, but out here anything's possible.
Steve: Aren't you a little out of your league here?
Sheppard: What are you, my mother?
McKay: If you fail to cooperate, I have the power to ruin your life.
Sheppard: Well you don't realize how little I have to lose.
McKay: I know everything about you. You've never been married, the only thing you own is a car, you have 2,363 dollars in the bank, and are 13,000 dollars in debt. Not counting off-the-books gambling losses to a guy named Mikey. What else? You finally passed your detective exam after four years and two failed attempts. And now barely scrape by on quarterly performance reviews. Occasionally you solve a case. But, unfortunately, the charges don’t always stick due to the means in which the evidence was collected. You don’t have a partner because no one can stand working with you. Am I getting this right?
Sheppard: I also like Spearmint gum.
McKay: Have some.
Sheppard: I was joking.
McKay: No you weren't. Let's go back further shall we? You were a helicopter pilot in Afghanistan, but were dishonorably discharged for disobeying orders and trying to rescue a field medic trapped behind enemy lines. You were shot down, obviously survived, but unfortunately the crash killed four American soldiers along with eight civilians. You avoided jail time, the report was sealed, for various political reasons. These things happen, right? Somehow you've managed to live with yourself since then, but I'm not sure other people would if they knew the truth.
Sheppard: I don't really care.
McKay: Yeah, that's too bad….You know; I once met another version of you. He was very different.
Sheppard: What?
McKay: Nothing is what you think it is.
Sheppard: It really doesn't come as a surprise to me.
McKay: Look ... We're not bad guys. We just wanna keep the planet safe.
Sheppard: I doubt that very much.
McKay: I don't expect you'll believe me at first. I'm about to tell you some incredible things: wormhole travel through a device called a Stargate; ancient races of humans on other planets; other dimensions in space and time; even infinite variations of our own known reality where alternate versions of you and I play out events in ways you can't possibly imagine.
Sheppard: Space aliens?
McKay: He's an alien - a Wraith. A genetic hybrid between human beings and something called an iratus bug. It feeds on human energy - literally saps the life out of people using a sucker on their hands. Suppose it all sounds like science fiction to you.
Detective Sheppard: I'm not really a fan.
Sheppard: Why do they do it?
McKay: What, feed on humans? It's just what they are. We're just cattle to them.
Todd: Fish in a pond, busy, busy, lots to do, here and there.
McKay: This one fancies himself a bit of a poet. Not good.
Todd: Dry as a desert outside, no place to go.
McKay: He's also delirious from starvation.
Todd: Eat up, get stronger, think and hope, think and hope. Don't look now! Oh, keep dreaming. There must be some other reason for your existence.
Sheppard: Did you get anything from him?
McKay: Nothing. Believe me, we tried ... everything.
Todd: Defiance tastes like life itself. No river. No water. Dry as a desert. Dirt is all around. The harvest moon is rising. Wraith are never-ending. I know the future. Come inside. I'll show you your destiny ... John Sheppard.
McKay: They can get in your head.
Sheppard: Are people ever gonna know the truth?
McKay: Not my decision. Personally, I think people choose to live in their own happy little delusions. They don't really wanna know the truth.
Zelenka: That kind of burst is uncontrollable ...
McKay: I never said it wasn't dangerous. It could open up any number of anomalies ...
Zelenka: Like the inter-dimensional rift?
McKay: Will you stop bringing that up?! Why d'you have to constantly remind me, especially in front of other people?
Zelenka: You are such a child.
McKay: And yet I am still smarter than you.
McKay: That field medic, the one you defied orders to go back and try to rescue. You knew her personally. You were, involved.
Sheppard: Yeah, well you know everything.
McKay: It's a hard choice. Certainly you didn't intend things to go as badly as they did. Things just, don't always go the way we planned.
McKay: Detective. Remember when I told you I once met another version of you?
Sheppard: Yeah.
McKay: I know you'll probably think this sounds ridiculous, but, a little a while ago we accidentally opened a rift in space-time. Went through to an alternate version of reality. It's very similar to ours in many ways. Met a team, much like the one I work with only, you were the leader. You were a hero. Saved the world, several times over.
Sheppard: Doesn't sound much like me.
McKay: I don't think there's much difference between you and that other John Sheppard I met. It's amazing how one incident can entirely alter the course of your life. Still, I like to believe you have the same strength of character. That's why I told you the truth.
Sheppard: What do you want me to say?
McKay: For now, nothing.
Zelenka: Or he could have abandoned whatever resources he had and just gone into hiding.
McKay: Oh, yes, he probably got a job as a Klingon at Star Trek: The Experience.
Woolsey: That's shut down.
Zelenka: Really. Damn, I wanted to see that.
McKay: If John Sheppard hadn't found that Wraith when he did, that transmission definitely would have made it through to Pegasus. He saved our asses.
To be continued…
