Professor!

Catherine!

Professor!

Salaam, salaam.

Watch your step. Okay.

We found something beautiful.

Uh-huh.

I do not believe it!

Big, big, big surprise!

Yeah? I can hardly wait.

Over here! Over here!

Catherina, come!

There are symbols painted everywhere.

Uh, names, titles of owners,

lists of offerings.

Every other major architectural structure at the time

was covered with detailed hieroglyphics.

When is the academic community gonna accept the fact

the Pharaohs of the IVth Dynasty

did not build the great pyramid?

Look, look, inside the pyramid,

the most incredible structure ever erected,

there are no writings whatsoever and--

Dr. Jackson!

You left out the fact that Colonel Vyse

discovered quarrymen's inscriptions... Right.

...of Khufu's name within the pyramid.

Well, his discovery was a fraud.

Well, I hope you can prove it!

Well, who do you think built the pyramids?

I don't have any idea who built them. I mean that--

Men from Atlantis?

Or Martians perhaps?

The point is not who built them,

but the point is when they were built.

I mean, we all know new geological evidence

dates the sphinx back to a much earlier period.

Knowing this,

I think, you know, we have to begin to reevaluate

everything we've come to accept about...

I mean, I've-- I've been able to show

a fully developed writing system

appeared in the first two dynasties.

You know, which... Almost as if it was based

on an even earlier prototype.

Is there a lunch or something that, that everybody...

Taxi!

Dr. Jackson!

What? Yes?

Someone wants to speak with you.

The Air Force? What's this?

What is this?

Could you step over to the car, please?

Sir?

We going somewhere?

You're gonna be fine.

We'll take care of these.

Jackson, those your parents?

Foster parents.

What--what is this all about?

A job.

What kind of a job?

Translation.

Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Interested?

I--I'm going to go now.

Go where?

I mean, you've just been evicted from your apartment.

Your grants have run out.

Everything you own are in those two bags.

You want to prove that your theories are right?

This is your chance.

What's this?

Travel plans.

Travel.

Sir.

Mrs. O'Neil?

Come on in.

Mrs. O'Neil, is your husband at home?

Yes.

Do you think we might be able to speak with him?

You can try.

Excuse me, Colonel O'Neil.

We're from General West's office.

Sir?

We're here to inform you that you've been reactivated.

The guy's a mess.

How did he get like that?

His kid died.

Accidentally shot himself.

Jesus.

Cleared.

Cold?

Allergies.

Always happens when I travel.

There you go.

Hi.

Dr. Jackson? Dr. Gary Meyers. Hello. Hello.

How are you?

What is this place?

Nuclear missile silo.

Don't worry. It's been completely converted.

Barbara Shore. Hi. Hello.

Okay, Jackson.

Welcome to the well.

Hello, hello.

This is...

Where'd you find this?

Giza Plateau, 1928.

1928.

I've--I've never seen anything like this.

Of course you haven't.

No one has.

Now there's--there's two lines of hieroglyphs.

The inner track has the classic figures,

but the outer track is like the cartouche in the center.

It's got writing unlike we've ever found before.

Those aren't hieroglyphics.

Might be some form of hieratic or maybe cuneiform.

Yeah.

Well, the translation of the inner track is wrong.

Must have used Budge.

I don't know why they keep reprinting his books.

E-Excuse me. Uh...

W-What are you doing?

We--we've used every known technique.

That's a curious word to use, eh, "Gebeh."

Yeah.

Then adverbial, "Sedjem-en-ef."

Then "sealed."

And "buried."

Excuse me! What are you doing?

It's not "coffin."

"For all time."

Who the hell translated this?

Uh, I--I did.

Well, this should read, "A million years into the sky

"is Ra, sun god,

"sealed and buried for all time."

It's not "door to heaven."

Is...

"Stargate."

Well, so, why is the military so interested

in 5,000-year-old Egyptian tablets?

My report says 10,000.

Afternoon, Colonel.

Um... Do I know you?

I'm Colonel Jack O'Neil from General West's office.

I'll be taking over from now on.

This figure 10,000 is ludicrous.

I mean, Egyptian culture didn't even exist.

We know.

But the sonic and radiocarbon tests are conclusive.

Well, these are cover stones.

Was there a tomb underneath?

No, no, no, no.

But we found something a lot more interesting.

O'NEIL: Excuse me.

This information has become classified.

From now on,

no information is to be passed on to nonmilitary personnel

without my expressed permission.

Catherine, what's goin' on here?

I'm not sure.

Colonel O'Neil.

I think you owe me an explanation.

I was told I had complete autonomy.

Plans change.

Why are you here? Why did they bring you on this project?

I'm here in case you succeed.

Completed search

of cuneiform and other pre-dynastic hieroglyphics.

No matches whatsoever.

I've exhausted all reference material

in comparing the symbols in the cartouche

against all known writing samples from the period,

pre and post.

Still no similarities.

I'm never gonna get paid.

Uh, uh, uh, uh.

Can I borrow this?

Orion.

...financial situation.

Hi. Hello, sir.

Right here, mate.

Jackson, I'd like you to meet General West.

Oh, hello there.

Oh, right, General.

Right. Okay.

So you think you've solved in 14 days

what they couldn't solve in two years?

Two years?

Anytime.

Um...

I have some stuff to look at.

Uh, if you'll just pass-- pass them down.

Um, you'll have to share them 'cause I...

I'm sorry, I don't... I'm sorry I don't have enough of, uh...

Anyway, uh... Okay. All right.

We're obviously looking at a picture of the cover stones.

Now, on the outer track,

these figures

that you would believe to be words to be translated

were in fact...

Sorry about that.

Were in fact, star constellations.

Now these constellations were placed in a unique order

forming a map or an address of sorts.

Seven points to outline a course to a position.

And, uh,

to find a destination

within any three-dimensional space,

you need six points

to determine an exact location.

You said you needed seven points.

Well, no. Six for the destination.

But to chart a course you need

a point of origin.

Except there's only six symbols in the cartouche.

Well, the seventh actually isn't inside the cartouche.

It's just below it here, designated by

a little pyramid with

two

funny,

neat little guys

and a funny little line coming out of the top.

Anyway, uh...

He did it.

No!

That symbol isn't anywhere on the device.

What device?

Show him.

Yes, sir.

What is that?

It's your Stargate.

Come, Jackson.

Technical personnel report to command center.

Monitors up!

Monitors are up!

Mitch, you want to bring up the details

on the center monitor, please.

Yeah.

I've got details on.

Hold it!

Wait.

Do you have a, uh...

Oh, here. Sorry.

Hey, hey, hey, don't!

Two figures on either side,

praying beside a pyramid

with the sun directly above it.

He's right.

It was in front of us the whole time.

General West,

Jackson has identified the seventh symbol.

Go ahead.

Programming seventh symbol into computer.

Chevron 1 is holding.

Chevron 1 is locked in place.

Power output at 23%.

Chevron 2 is holding.

Engaged.

Chevron 2 is locked in place.

We're at, uh, 35%.

All right, we got a condition red at the gate.

Evacuate all personnel.

Area secure. Seal off the door.

Let's go!

It was under the cover stones?

Yes.

My father found it. 1928.

Made out of a mineral unlike any found on Earth.

Chevron 5 locked in place.

79%.

Chevron 6 is holding.

Chevron 6 is locked in place.

This is as far as we've ever been able to get.

Chevron 7...

Override manually!

Chevron 7 is locked in place.

Send in the probe.

Let's go! Let's go!

Yes, sir?

Record all information from the Stargate.

Clear inner silo for breach.

Clear inner silo.

Let's go! Let's go!

It's guiding itself.

Can you believe that?

The beam has locked itself on to a point somewhere in...

In the Kaliam galaxy.

I-It has mass. I-It could be a moon or large asteroid.

Where are we on that map?

The blue dot.

That's right, Jackson.

It's on the other side of the known universe.

We're losing the signal.

This is the information the probe sent back to us.

Freeze and enhance.

You can clearly see the gate on the other side.

Both gates must have functioned as a doorway

between our worlds.

These readings tell us it's an atmospheric match.

Barometric pressure, temperature,

and most importantly oxygen.

These markings are different.

They don't match the symbols on our gate.

That's why we may have to abort.

This project is for naught

without a reconnaissance mission.

Once on the other side,

we'd have to decipher the markings on their gate,

and in essence dial home in order to bring the team back.

Based on this new information,

I don't see how we can do that.

Well, I could do that.

Are you sure?

Positive.

Your call.

You're on the team.

Jackson.

Hello. Hi.

I have something for you.

No. I...

Yes.

I found it with Stargate when I was a child.

It has brought me luck.

You can bring it back to me.

Back-up storage.

Reserve power, on.

Let's go. Let's get it down.

Surveillance and monitoring...

Good to see you, Colonel.

If anybody has anything to say,

now's the time to say it.

Vector tracking set.

Molecular deconstruction in progress.

Jackson. It's all right. It's over.

Stay with him.

Jackson, just listen to me. Keep moving.

It wears off in a minute.

What a rush.

O'NEIL: Prepare to move out.

Three teams. Let's go.

White team, go.

Team two, move up.

We're clear. No contact.

O2 ratio stable.

Conditions are similar to inside.

I want to take a look around.

Kawalsky. Feretti.

Let's rock 'n' roll.

Move up there. Good.

I knew it.

1-3-3-2.

O'NEIL: Report.

Our quarter-mile perimeter survey

is just about complete, sir.

Wrap this up. Get everybody back inside.

I want all you people back through the Stargate within the hour.

You're comin' with us, aren't you, Colonel?

Sir? Jackson.

Start workin' on the Stargate.

What's that all about?

I don't know, Feretti.

I-I'm gonna need more time.

I mean, there's bound to be more structures here

or some other traces of civilization.

Not this trip.

Just get back in there and reestablish contact.

Well, it's not that easy. This is a replica

of the great pyramid of Giza.

We're not gonna find any hieroglyphic inscriptions

or carved relief.

We really-- We really need to look around.

Your job here is to realign the Stargate.

Can you do that or not?

I can't.

You can't, or you won't?

I can decipher the symbols on the Stargate,

but I need an order of alignment.

Now those coordinates were marked on tablets back on Earth,

and there must be something like that here.

I just...

I just need to find it.

Find it, what?

What do you mean, "find it"?

You didn't say anything about finding anything.

Well, I assumed the tablets would be here, I mean, right here.

You assumed?

You're a lying son of a bitch!

You didn't say a word about finding anything!

Kawalsky,

set up a camp down here.

Organize our supplies.

Sir-- You've got your orders.

You know, I can't believe we're stuck here.

Don't be such a doomsayer, Feretti.

Yeah give it a rest.

Yes, please.

If we're not back soon,

they'll just turn on the gate from the other side.

Oh, no. It doesn't work that way.

You see, if you don't turn it on from here,

we're screwed, okay?

So I'm telling you guys, we're not goin' anywhere.

Shut up.

This is a nice tent.

Oh, we each get a tent. That's nice.

What the hell is that?

Thermal blanket. I don't need that.

Talk to him.

I've got everything here but sun block.

Hey.

Hi.

Hey.

Isn't there something you should be doing right now?

Like getting us out of here?

Foot powder.

Great.

Now that's cold.

Base camp is up, sir.

Where's Jackson?

It's okay. It's okay.

Shh, shh, shh. That's a good boy.

It's okay.

Good boy.

What? What do you want?

You want some of this?

Here you go. You like that?

There you go.

O'NEIL: I wouldn't feed that thing.

It's got a harness!

It's domesticated!

Damn it.

Let go of it!

Help me!

Whoa! Help me!

You okay, Jackson?

O'NEIL: Kawalsky.

You dropped these.

O'NEIL: Brown.

Get away from me.

O'NEIL: Easy.

All right, Jackson. You're on.

Me?

You're the linguist. Try to talk to 'em.

Hi.

What the hell did you say to him? Nothin'.

O'NEIL: Hey.

Hmm.

It's okay.

Hmm? It's okay. It's okay. See?

See?

Quartz. Primary element.

I can't make it out.

It sounds familiar. A bit like Berber.

Maybe Chadic or Omotic.

Mmm. Thank you.

Mmm.

Bonni...

Bonniewae!

Bonniewae?

Bonniewae!

Bonniewae.

What's that mean?

I have no idea.

He's inviting us to go with him.

How can you be so sure?

Because he's inviting us to go with him.

We were looking for signs of civilization.

Obviously, we've found it.

You want to get us back home, this is our best shot.

Colonel, he's right.

I took some readings on what they're mining back there.

This is the same material as the Stargate.

Radio base camp.

Tell 'em to keep that area secured

until we get back.

Yes, sir.

The eye of Ra.

It's the Egyptian sun god.

They think he sent us here.

Yeah.

I wonder what could have given them that idea.

Ra.

Ra.

Where they all going?

Come in. Come in. Feretti, I can't hear you.

Sir, I can't make this out.

Feretti, say again.

We have to abandon base camp!

Repeat!

We have to abandon base camp!

Useless! It won't work in this!

Freeman, let's go! Let's move!

Everybody, back inside!

Come on, just take what you can carry.

Get the battery pack!

Grab it!

Get back into the pyramid!

Where the hell did that come from?

Kawalsky, Brown, do you read?

Hey, Jackson, I don't think we should eat any food here.

I don't know, they might consider that an insult.

Well, we don't want to offend them, now, do we, Daniel?

Tastes like chicken.

Tastes like chicken. It's good.

It's tastes...

Tastes like chicken.

It tastes like chicken. Good.

Jackson.

You said that was an Egyptian symbol.

Yeah. The eye of Ra.

Would you say then that it might stand to reason,

if they know one Egyptian symbol...

Yes.

Yes.

No, no.

No, no.

No, no. No, no.

What the hell's goin' on?

It seems like writing is forbidden to them.

What? What?

They want me to go with them.

Shall I stay? I'll go with them.

I'll go. I'll be fine.

Okay, that's good. All right.

All right. That's good.

What is that smell?

Oh, it's...

Okay. That's good. I think that's good.

My hands are pretty clean.

Thank you very, very much. Thank you.

That was very nice. Thank you. That was great.

I smell much better.

Yes. Thank you.

Christ.

I smell like a yak.

No, no. Please. No more. Please.

Please, no more.

I'm fine. I'm clean. I'm... I'm...

I thought you were one of the other cleaning...

No. No, no, no, no, no.

You don't-- you don't have to do that.

Please.

Maybe you should go. Okay?

It's okay. Maybe you should go.

No, no. It's okay. It's okay. It's all right. Here.

Oh, wait a minute. Here.

No, no, no, no, no.

It's me. I wanted to thank you.

I wanted to... I'm very... I'm very happy.

Thank you.

Um...

Daniel.

Daniel.

No. Uh, I'm, uh...

Daniel.

I'm Daniel.

Sha'uri.

Sha'uri.

We came, uh...

Pyramid.

See, we came from the pyramid.

It's--it's okay.

Never mind.

It's okay.

Earth?

You--you know... You know this symbol?

You know this symbol?

You've seen this symbol?

Show me.

You show me.

Kawalsky, this is base. Do you copy?

You're wastin' the battery.

You'll never get anything in this storm.

You'll have to wait until it passes.

Yeah, right. If it passes.

What the hell is goin' on?

All right, spread out.

Behind the columns. Move.

Hey, let's move out.

It's okay. It's just a lighter.

Watch.

See?

Here. Catch.

Yeah, it's pretty fabulous.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right. It's pretty stupid.

No. Keep it.

It's yours.

No!

Dangerous!

What is this place?

Here.

Cypian. Rem-e-n-jef.

Bah-ka-naf sema. Tah-pah-rief.

I'll be damned.

Tah-pah-rief?

What?

Tah-pah-rief?

Tah-pah-rief?

Tah-pah-rief.

Tah-pah-rief.

Tah-pah...

Neh-jed? Neh-jed?

Neh-dah.

Neh-dah. Neh-dah.

Tiu.

Tiu. Tiu.

Uh...

Netjer?

Netjer-u? Bah? Netjer-u?

Natay.

Naturu.

Natay. Naturu.

Nafi.

O'NEIL: No signal at all?

Nothing.

More interference?

No.

They're simply not there.

O'NEIL: Any sign of them?

I haven't been able to locate Jackson, sir.

We're lookin' for Jackson.

Jackson. The guy who wears this jacket.

He's, uh...

He's got, like, long hair that comes down.

No, no.

No, no, no, no. It's...

He wears glasses so he can see?

I guess the word "dweeb" doesn't mean anything to you guys, does it?

Yeah. Why not?

I'm on planet X looking for a dweeb

who wears fatigues, he wears this jacket,

he's got long hair, comes over his eyes,

he wears glasses and...

sneezes.

Chicken.

Chicken. Chicken.

Chicken. Chicken man. You got it.

You want this?

O'NEIL: Thought you couldn't speak their language.

You scared me.

It's an ancient Egyptian dialect.

I mean, unlike the rest of their culture,

it's evolved completely independently.

But, uh, once you know the vowels...

Just answer the question.

Well, um, you just...

I just had to learn how to pronounce it.

It hasn't been a living spoken language

in more than 1,000 years.

I mean, look at this.

It says, uh, a traveler from distant stars

escaped from a dying world

looking for a way to extend his own life.

His body, decaying and weak,

he couldn't prevent his own demise.

Apparently his whole species was becoming extinct.

So he traveled,

or searched the galaxies,

looking for a way to cheat death.

And, uh, look here.

He came to a world rich with life

where he encountered a primitive race:

Humans.

A species which, with all his powers and knowledge,

he could maintain indefinitely.

He realized, within a human body,

he had a chance for a new life.

Now, he apparently

found a young boy.

It says, as frightened villagers ran,

night became day.

Curious and without fear,

he walked towards the light.

Ra took him and possessed his body

like some kind of a parasite looking for a host.

And inhabiting this human form,

he appointed himself ruler.

He used the Stargate

to bring thousands of people here to this planet

as workers for the mines,

just like the one we saw.

This mineral is clearly the building block of his technology.

With this,

he can sustain eternal life.

Now, uh, something happened, where is it,

back on Earth, a rebellion or uprising,

and the Stargate was buried there.

Fearful of a rebellion here,

Ra outlawed reading and writing.

He didn't want the people to remember the truth.

Jackson, I think you better take a look at this.

That's it.

That's what we were looking for.

They must have hidden it here

in hopes that one day the gate on Earth could be reopened.

I knew they'd have it written down someplace.

Wait a minute.

Where's the seventh symbol?

It must have broken. It's got to be here somewhere.

Let me see.

I've got it. I've got it here.

It's worn off.

I can't make it work without the seventh symbol.

O'NEIL: All right, that's it.

Kawalsky, Brown.

Come on, Jackson!

O'NEIL: What the hell is that?

Here.

You might need this.

Look out!

Where are we going?

Why are we going to the Stargate?

I can't make it work.

Stay right here

and shoot anything that comes down that ramp.

What are you doing?

Just cover me.

What is that?

What are you looking for?

O'NEIL: It's gone.

Put it down, Jackson.

What is that?

It's a bomb, isn't it?

That's what you were looking for.

What the hell were you thinking?

What did you come here for?

O'Neil, Wait.

No! No!

Ahhh!

Colonel. It's me.

You all right?

Where's Jackson?

Sha'uri.

Freeman!

Freeman!

O'NEIL: Over there! Come on! Kawalsky!

Here, colonel.

So what do you think?

They're not exactly special forces,

but they sure were eager to join up.

Take these guns away, Lieutenant,

before they hurt themselves.

Sir?

You heard me, send them all home.

There's no place for these kids to go.

Anyway, we could use their help right now.

For what?

Huh? To do what?

Why don't you just tell them everything?

Why don't you tell them about the bomb?

What's he talkin' about?

My orders were simple.

Track down signs of any possible danger.

If I found any, blow up the Stargate.

Well, I found some.

Well, your bomb is his now.

And tomorrow, he's going to send it back to Earth

along with the shipment of that mineral they mine here.

And when that thing goes off,

it's gonna cause an explosion 100 times more destructive

than that bomb alone was capable of.

I'll intercept that bomb

before he could send it through.

Why wasn't I told this?

Because there wasn't any reason to tell you, Kawalsky.

You weren't even supposed to be here.

You were all gonna go right back through with Daniel.

I was going to stay behind alone and blow up the Stargate.

And that's exactly what I'm gonna do.

It's the gate on Earth that poses a threat.

That's the one we have to shut down.

You're absolutely right.

But since you don't know how to get us back,

we don't have that option, do we?

You had accepted the fact

that no matter what happened,

you would not be going home.

Don't you have people who care about you?

Do you have a family?

I had a family.

No one should ever have to outlive their own child.

I don't want to die.

Your men don't want to die,

and these people here don't want to die.

It's a shame you're in such a hurry to.

Husband?

Connect the moons.

This is the symbol for this planet.

That's it.

The point of origin.

What are you doing?

I found it.

What are you talkin' about?

The seventh symbol.

We're going home.

Ahhh!

Let's go.

Kasuf.

What's happening up there?

How you doin'? Hmm?

Damn!

Come on, Feretti!

Come on.

Get that door!

Hey, you okay? You all right?

Spread out!

Let's go!

We're dead. Quit talkin' like that.

What are we gonna do?

Cover me.

Cover you?

Kawalsky!

Come over here and help me push this thing over!

What are you doing?

Completing this mission.

I thought we agreed

to dismantle the gate on the other side.

And you will. That's your job now.

I'm gonna stay here, make sure this goes off.

You got seven minutes.

SHA'URI: Daniel!

What are you doing?

Jackson!

Wait for me.

You got any rounds on you, Feretti?

We're all out of ammo.

Incoming!

Ahhh!

Kawalsky, we got to do somethin'.

Damn.

Hey!

Stop! Hey!

Hey!

Give my regards to King Tut, asshole.

Huh!

How much time is left?

45 seconds.

He's leaving. Turn it off.

I'm trying to. I can't disarm it.

What?

I can't stop it. They got it rigged.

I've got an idea.

Did I tell you?

I always knew you'd get us back.

Yeah. Right. Later.

Thanks, Daniel.

You sure you want to do this?

Yes, I'm sure.

You going to be all right?

I'm going to be all right.

How about you?

Yeah.

Yeah. I think so.

Tell Catherine this brought me luck.

I will.

O'NEIL: I'll be seeing you around...

Dr. Jackson.
