SHEPPARD
When can you tell me where the Wraith took Colonel Sumner and the others?
MCKAY
Even with the six symbols Lieutenant Ford provided there are still hundreds of permutations—
SHEPPARD
(interrupting)
720.
MCKAY
(nonplussed)
Yes. I knew that, of course. I'm just surprised you did.
SHEPPARD
Take away the coordinates you can't get a lock on, and that's your one, and when you find it, send a MALP.

WEIR

[He follows her to the back of the control room. As Weir nears what she thought was a window, the door to a balcony opens, surprising them all. Sheppard and Weir cautiously step outside.]
EXT—ATLANTIS BALCONY, DAY
WEIR
Wow.
[They both look down over the railing, marveling at the sight of the city.]
SHEPPARD
Let me guess. You're not going to let me rescue my people.
WEIR

SHEPPARD
I don't need a history lesson.
