Vegas

In an alternate reality, Detective John Sheppard and FBI Agent Richard Woolsey find themselves in the midst of a CSI-like murder case involving several killings apparently of Wraith origin in Las Vegas, Nevada. It's eventually revealed that this Wraith is the only survivor of a hive ship that attacked Earth and was destroyed. The Wraith plans to send a transmission to the other Wraith to lead them to Earth, but Sheppard finds him and enters a gunfight that leaves Sheppard mortally wounded. As the Wraith is about to kill him, two A-10 Thunderbolt IIs sent by Woolsey who Sheppard alerted arrives and the Wraith quickly activates his transmitter before the fighters destroy it and him. The transmission never reaches Pegasus, saving the alternate Earth, but is sent through to other realities where it will reach Pegasus. As the episode ends, Sheppard crawls away from the wreckage and presumably dies, but seems at peace. This episode was filmed in Las Vegas, with filming for the season ending there, but it aired as the 19th episode.[5] During the episode, the songs "The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson, "Sympathy for the Devil" by The Rolling Stones and "Solitary Man" by Johnny Cash are played.
