"Miller's Crossing" is the ninth episode of the fourth season of the science fiction television series ''Stargate Atlantis''. ==Plot== After being reunited with his estranged sister Jeannie a year ago (McKay and Mrs. Miller), Rodney has been keeping up a correspondence with her back on Earth. Unfortunately, certain powerful people are aware of this, and kidnap Jeannie. Rodney returns to Earth to look for her, and is also captured. Rodney wakes up in a laboratory on Earth with Jeannie, where they meet the man behind their kidnappings, Henry Wallace, president of Devlin Medical Technologies. His company is a military contractor, and is one of the government's primary resources for integrating alien technologies acquired by the Stargate Program into Earth's medical technology. Wallace has only the lowest level of access to information, but after a few too many astounding breakthroughs by the military, he has managed to find out all about S.G.C., Atlantis, and Rodney McKay. Wallace proceeds to show the two scientists why he captured them; his daughter Sharon is suffering from leukemia. McKay isn't sure what he wants the two of them to do as neither are medical doctors. Wallace explains that Sharon has been given prototype nanites to try to heal her, but they are doing more harm than good. She is dying. Wallace will do anything to save his daughter after the death of his wife three years ago. Rodney and Jeannie are experts on nanite coding, but their knowledge is limited. Back at the SGC, Sharon eventually dies when her nanites run out of power. Rodney McKay realizes he won't finish reprogramming the nanites in time to save his sister's life, and seeks help from the captive Wraith. He manages to convince the Wraith that it's in his best interests to help reprogram the nanites, since it would be a stepping stone to destroying the Replicators. However, the Wraith is too weak to finish his work. McKay offers to sacrifice himself as food for the Wraith, so that he can regain his strength and complete the code modifications. Sheppard refuses to comply. Instead, he interrogates Wallace, informing him that Sharon has died and Jeannie will soon follow, leaving behind a husband and young daughter. The distraught Wallace agrees to sacrifice himself to the Wraith. The Wraith, now nourished, finishes the code modifications, saving Jeannie's life in the process. McKay later confronts Sheppard, who insists that Wallace voluntarily sacrificed himself. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miller's Crossing (Stargate Atlantis)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
