Dr. Rodney McKay : Thank you for your co-operation, Detective. If you think of anything else...
[hands him a card]
Dr. Rodney McKay : ... call me at this number.
Detective John Sheppard : If he's not finished yet, why'd he stop hiding the bodies?
Dr. Rodney McKay : I don't know. Over-confidence that he can't be caught?
Detective John Sheppard : He left money behind.
Dr. Rodney McKay : How much?
Detective John Sheppard : A few thousand.
Dr. Rodney McKay : Not enough to worry about, I guess.
Detective John Sheppard : That's it? You're just gonna let me go?
Dr. Rodney McKay : That field medic - the one you defied orders to go back and try and rescue. You knew her personally. You were... involved.
Detective John Sheppard : Yeah, you know everything.
Dr. Rodney McKay : It was 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 plan. We know where to find you.
[Sheppard turns and starts to walk towards the car]
Dr. Rodney McKay : Detective.
[Sheppard stops and turns back as McKay approaches him again]
Dr. Rodney McKay : Remember when I told you I once met another version of you?
Detective John Sheppard : Yeah.
Dr. Rodney McKay : I know you'll probably think this sounds ridiculous, but a little while ago we accidentally opened a rift in space/time - went through to an alternate version of reality. It was very similar to ours in many ways. We 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.
Detective John Sheppard : [smiling bitterly] Doesn't sound much like me.
Dr. Rodney 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.
[turns and starts to walk away. Sheppard calls after him]
Detective John Sheppard : What do you want me to say?
Dr. Rodney McKay : [over his shoulder] For now, nothing.
