It was music to his ears.

Line 021: She pleaded on her knees…

She pleaded on her knees for him to release her team.

She screamed and cried and begged for his mercy, but he wouldn't listen

He killed Rodney first.

Then John.

When Ronon was brought out, she jumped to her feet and launched herself in his direction. Latching onto his neck she mumbled mostly indecipherable words, but he was able to understand 'sorry' and 'love you' before the guards came and ripped them apart.

"I love you too, Teyla." He spoke calmly and his voice was even. Then his chest exploded in a crimson arc from the executioner's gun.

The sound that escaped Teyla's throat then was unlike anything Kolya had ever heard. It was the feral sound of heartbreak and utter loss.

It was music to his ears.
