They've already been somewhat rescued by a prisoner named Eldon, the local SmartGuy, who unties them all in exchange for their promise to take him back with them to Atlantis. [=McKay=] does have a plan, as it turns out. While the Jumper will certainly never fly again, it might be possible to get enough power to the DHD to dial the gate. Unfortunately, just as he gets it to work Torrell shows up again, and by the time they're all done fighting with each other the power is gone. And then the Wraith turn up.

* WickedCultured: The Wraith who orchestrates the deal with the Olesian Magistrate apparently fancies himself something of a wine afficionado, and displays an appreciation for human foods.
