HOUSE. In someone's house, Elizabeth Weir appears on the television screen. She has recorded a video message for someone.
WEIR (on the TV): Simon, if you're watching this, it means the President has been kind enough to grant you security clearance. (We see a man, obviously Simon, sitting in the living room of the house and watching the video.) I'm not going on a diplomatic mission to another country. I'm going to another planet in another galaxy by means of a device called the Stargate. Millions of years ago there was a race of beings we call the Ancients.
(As Weir continues to speak, we see various members of the expedition as they spend their last day on Earth. Lieutenant Ford is kissed goodbye by his grandmother, and she and his grandfather make a big fuss of him as he gets into a taxi.)
WEIR: They created a network of these Stargates throughout our galaxy in order to travel freely among their worlds.
(Doctor Beckett is having a last meal with his mother. It looks like she's bringing him a dish of haggis. She puts the dish down as he smiles delightedly, and kisses him on the cheek.)
WEIR: We don't know why, but they left for another galaxy somewhere between five and ten million years ago, taking their entire city along with them.
(Doctor McKay is giving his cat to a neighbour to look after. She is already holding the cat's bowl and a large bag of cat food. McKay strokes the cat one last time, then picks up his bag and walks away.)
WEIR: That city was called Atlantis.
(In a park somewhere, Sheppard is sitting on the grass. He flips a coin into the air, catches it with one hand, slaps it onto the back of his other hand, hesitates for several seconds, then reluctantly looks at the result.)
WEIR: I have been assembling an expedition team in order to try to find Atlantis, and hopefully the Ancients who left Earth all those years ago.
(The scene returns to Simon's house and the television screen.)
WEIR: I wanna do this, Simon, with all my heart. You know me well enough to know I could never turn down an opportunity like this but I wanted the chance to tell you ...
(Simon pauses the tape, walks over to his phone, picks it up and pushes a speed dial number.)
OPERATOR (over phone): The cellular customer you are trying to reach is currently outside the coverage area.
(Simon switches off the phone and stares into the distance.)
SIMON: No kidding.
