Original subtitles

Looks like somebody's closed up for the winter, hmm?

Teal'c.

Is this Goa'uld technology?

These devices are unfamiliar to me.

Oh, this is interesting.

I won der what's in there?

Man: I am in there.

I am unarmed.

Who are you?

You are the one called mach ello, are you not?

Do I know you?

You do not, buti have seen images of you.

Though your face had not seen as many years,

it was you.

Since before iwas born,

this man has been a fugitive from the system lords.

One of my first assignments as first prime of apophis

was to huntthis man.

What did he do?

Teal'c: He was developing advanced technology

to battle the Goa'uld.

He was captu red and tortured.

The system lords marked him to become a Goa'uld host

so his knowledge could be retained.

Before the ceremony of implantation,

he killed several Jaffa and escaped.

Hedid that?

I am notthis person you speak of.

You are mistaken.

Um, you don't have to be afraid.

We're not goa'ulds.

We're not?

Of course we are not!

But if we are not goa'ulds...

Who are we?

Well, I'm——I'm Daniel Jackson from the planet earth.

Yes.

Yes! That's right.

I am Daniel Jackson from the planet earth.

Pleased to meet you.

No, I'm——I'm—— I'm Daniel Jackson.

No, I'm Daniel Jackson.

Um, these are very interesting machines.

Are they inventions to fightthe Goa'uld?

Yes, inventions to fightthe Goa'uld.

Well, do you—— do you—...

Do you think you could show us how they work?

Are we sure we are not Goa'uld?

You. You!

You, here. Quickly.

Inventions to fightthe Goa'uld.

Daniel?

I'm fine...

I think.

Are you all right, sir?

He's got a faint pulse.

All right. Carter,

why don't you dial us out of here? Teal'c...

Grab the gentleman.

Let's take him back to the base.

Yes, sir.

Well, everything seems fine.

Yeah. All your numbers are normal.

Good.

I feel fine.

Yeah? You just,

you seem a little out of it, Daniel.

Is there something bothering you?

No. I'm just...

Exhausted.

Well, that's not unusual for someone

who just received a high—voltage electric shock.

Any idea what that machine was supposed to do?

Ok, well, if you are not

back to normal in a couple of days,

you let me know.

Uh, wait a minute.

I don't want you driving for a couple of days.

All right.

How is he?

Not good.

He has severe scar tissue

all over his body.

Looks like he was burned or electrocuted.

My guess is he was tortu red.

He's not gonna live much longer, is he?

I don't think so.

Let's continue without Dr. Jackson.

Captain Carter, you were about to brief us

about the device?

Yes, sir.

I believe it's some sort of database

for all of machello's inventions.

These symbols are like icons on a computer.

When I press one of them,

a schematic diagram appears

with notes on the side.

Any idea what any of it is?

Well, sir, that's the problem.

It's not in any dialect thati understand.

I was hoping that Daniel or maybe Teal'c

could shed some light on these symbols.

I do not recognize them.

Daniel: I apologize.

How are you, Dr. Jackson?

Tired. Dr. Fraiser says

it will wear off in a few days.

I'll be fine.

Daniel, do you recognize

any of these symbols?

No.

Hammond: Keep trying, people.

This could be some valuable technology.

Dismissed. Daniel: General...

Dr. Fraiser thought I should go home...

Get some rest.

Take a day.

Thank you.

Thank you. I'll be fine from here.

Yes, sir.

Have a great day.

You, too.

You called, sir?

Jack, Sam, Teal'c.

Finally.

How does this gentleman know our names?

As I've been trying to tell the general

and the good doctor here,

I am not machello. I am Daniel Jackson.

Oh, here we go.

I realize what I look like,

but I'm telling you...

That machine somehow switched us.

He, uh, knows a lot about Daniel.

Ask me anything.

Something only Daniel would know.

Ok, who's Cassandra?

She's a 12—year—old girl

we found abandoned

on p8x—987.

P8x...

987. Yeah.

All right. Lucky guess.

Where was the Stargate found?

At a dig in giza.

O'Neill: All right.

Describe for me

the dress your sister wore last week when I took her out.

I don't have a sister, Jack...

And if I did,

iwouldn't let you near her.

Ok, let's assume for a moment

that you are Daniel Jackson.

Then who the hell

did we just send home?

Hello, friend.

I am new to this area.

I would like to learn about

your culture and customs.

Will you teach me?

Do you not understand me?

Spare any change, please?

Why does no one answer me?

'Cause you're strange.

Am I?

Tell me how I am strange.

Man, you can't be just

walkin' up to people you don't know on the street

and talkin' all weird like that,

askin' for stuff.

Isn'tthat what you are doing?

Well, yeah, but...

Then you must be strange as well.

I've been called worse. Sure. I'm strange, too.

I am called machello.

I'm Fred.

Let us feast together, Fred,

and celebrate our strangeness

and newfound friendship.

On you?

If that is the custom,

we will feast...

On me.

Dr. Fraiser?

Well, sir, medically speaking,

he's an elderly gentleman,

suffering from acute pulmonary damage,

with the conscious awareness and memory

of Dr. Daniel Jackson.

How?

I can'ttell you

the method used to do it, general,

but I can tell you that our personality,

our memory, our conscious selves,

are derived from unique networks of neurons

in the cerebral cortex.

Somehow Daniel's networks were remapped

onto the old man's by that alien device.

So this could be a on e—way deal, right?

I'm not following, sir.

We don't know that it went both ways.

Daniel could still be Daniel.

His doorman said he never came into the building

after he was dropped off.

There you go. Let's find him.

And what if he isn't Daniel?

Hammond: We're going to have to prepare for that possibility.

Dr. Fraiser?

Sir, this, uh, problem is beyond my expertise.

I'm gonna have to consult

with some neurospecialists, sir.

Do it.

General, wouldn't it be a little easier

if we just went back, gotthis machine,

tried to slam it into reverse?

All right, colonel. Retrieve it,

but consider that device hazardous material

and prepare yourself accordingly.

Yes, sir.

Carter: I want to check out machello's room.

Maybe he has some electronic notebooks

that I can actually read.

O'Neill: All right.

Uh, captain?

Maybe you shouldn't touch anything in there.

I'll be careful, sir.

All right, let me get mine on first here.

All right.

On 3——I, 2...

Colonel!

Captain?

Sorry. Uh, ithink I know

how machello has lived so long.

I think this is some sort of medical device.

There's all sorts of tubes and thermal units

that look like they're for life support.

But machello was conscious

when we found him.

Maybe it's triggered to automatically deactivate

when someone comes th rough the gate.

Then we can place Daniel Jackson

in the hibernation chamber

so his body can be maintained.

Yeah, possibly,

if I can figure out how to get it to work again.

How long, captain?

I don't know, sir.

I might not be able to figure it out at all.

Well, then, let's just getthis thing

back to earth.

Might be all we need.

On 3...

I... 2... 3.

What?

How did it go, colonel?

It did not go well, general Hammond.

You think?

This is indeed uncomfortable.

How do you think I feel, Teal'c?

I've got a snake in my gut.

You've got a comfortable, normal body.

It is normal to you, O'Neill.

Having a symbiote within is normal to me.

Yeah, well, whatever.

It's bad, ok?

Hey.

Have they located Dr. Jackson?

No, they're still looking.

The good news is, I foundthe switching device

on mach ello's computer.

Problem is all of the notations are in that strange dialect.

You know, when you think about it,

it's actually kind of a good thing that this happened.

I mean, I can experiment with the 2 of you,

andthen, when we find Daniel—...

Mach ello——we can reverse the process,

assuming, of course, that it's reversible.

Captain, can we just get on with this?

Right. Well, uh, I couldn't find any buttons or switches,

so unless I've missed something,

it must be triggered by the handles themselves.

I think that we should try different ways

of grasping the handles.

First, let's just try grasping it normally,

the same way you did before.

Nope. I still gotjunior.

All right, uh...

All right. Maybe there's an "in" and an "out" handle.

You switch sides.

We did not make progress.

Ok, um...

Maybe it has something to do

with the order in which you grab the handles.

I'm not feeling so hot.

What are you feeling, O'Neill?

All of a sudden,

junior's moving around a lot in there.

This likely means my body has contracted an illness

my symbiote must repair.

Illness? Great.

It is common.

The symbiote will remedy the problem.

Ok. When?

It can only accomplish its work

if you put your body into a state of kelno'reem.

Translation, Teal'c?

Similar to a state of hibernation.

Meditation?

Perhaps.

Buti sense much deeper

than that of any human meditation.

It is imperative that you do this, O'Neill,

or my body will be as if it has no immune system.

Ok. Tell me whatto do.

You don't look so good.

I mean, I don't look so good.

You will become increasingly ill

as long as my symbiote does not have the opportunity

to make the necessary repair.

So you're telling me

this is just gonna get worse?

If you do not perform kelno'reem,

it could lead to my death.

Rather, your death.

What do I do?

Please, be seated.

Can I help you?

Hello. This is Fred. I am machello.

We wish to feast on me.

In fact, let everyone here feast on me!

You celebrating something?

Indeed we are.

Life.

Ok. But I'm going to need a credit card.

A credit card?

Where would I find such a card?

Usually in your wallet.

Will one of these cards do?

Absolutely.

You are one of the most enchanting women

I have seen in my lifetime.

I would be honored by a kiss.

Yeah, I bet you would.

Very good, O'Neill.

It is?

I'm not feeling any better.

You have not yet reached kelno'reem.

So how do I do it?

Relax.

Concentrate.

You must imagine the center of your mind

and focus.

Allow it to take you into a waking sleep.

There, you will dream.

When you do so,

it will be in Harmony with the symbiote.

Your subconscious minds will be as one.

At that moment,

you will have achieved kelno'reem.

Here, the symbiote will receive information

necessary to repair your sickness.

It's useless.

No, it's not.

You've already figured out

that it's a mixture of ancient Latin and Greek.

We're getting closer.

That's obvious because of the forms.

The alphabets may be the same,

but it's an entirely original language.

There's no sentence structure, there's no—...

Take it easy.

His blood pressure's going up

He's not responding.

Let's get a ct and check for hemorrhage,

and, uh, get a respirator ready just in case.

Janet?

He's non responsive.

He's in a coma.

Dig in, machello,

before the hot fudge melts all the ice cream.

So, uh, I getthe feeling you fought in the Gulf.

Am I right?

No.

But I was a soldier.

I fought many battles.

I was captu red and tortu red.

That explains a lot.

Icontinuedto fight

and lost all that I loved and cared for.

Buti knew I could not surrender...

For you.

If it were not for me,

you would all be conquered by now.

By who? Saddam?

He is not a system lord I am familiar with,

but several others would have wiped you out.

Whatever you say, man.

But I do not wish to fight any longer.

From now on, I only want to eat hamburgers

and French fries and ice cream sundaes,

and iwantto be with good people like you, Fred.

All good things come to an end, machello.

Oh, no, my friend.

Only evil things must come to an end.

For good things, such as ourselves,

it is possible to go on forever.

Cool.

Whoa!

Sweet.

Teal'c?

What are you doing?

If I am to remain in this body,

I must shave my head.

You're making a joke, right?

I am not joking.

Teal'c, you will not shave my head.

It is presently myh ead, O'Neill.

Teal'c, this is temporary.

And if it is not?

Just give them a chance to find Daniel, ok?

Teal'c, I'm going to see general Hammond.

Promise me you won't touch the head

until I get back.

Sir, I feel like I need to be involved

in finding Daniel.

Well, ithink we may have him soon.

Daniel's credit card was just used at a local diner.

Request permission to go there, sir.

Denied. You'll remain here untilthey bring him in.

Be patient, colonel.

I can't be patient, sir.

Daniel is dying,

and I'd rather we getto machello

than risk some yahoo civvy officer

shooting him and blowing any chance

we have of saving him.

Much as I'd like to...

You're not exactly yourself.

Request denied.

It has been a lifetime

since I've enjoyed such companionship, Fred.

I have truly enjoyed it.

Likewise.

How does one court a wife, Fred?

Usually with lots of time, energy,

and those credit cards.

Good. Let us begin now.

Cop: Hold it there, buddy.

I will not go back.

It is impossible.

Putyour hands behind your head.

Do it, machello.

You don't know these cops like me.

Wait! Don't shoot him, man!

He's a hero!

Fred: Aw, don't hurt him.

You were right, Fred.

All good things do come to an end.

Come on, Daniel.

They foundthe guy. They're bringing him in.

You have to wake up

Daniel...

You can't die on me now.

It's...

Nice to know you don't just like me

for my looks.

H ey...

Janet.

Well, it is good to have you back, Dr. Jackson.

You have impeccable timing.

Sam, they're on their way in.

We should getthat machine of his in here.

Reverse what you've done to my people.

I cannot do what is impossible.

Then you won't cooperate?

On the contrary. I am telling you the truth.

It is not possible.

Why not?

In simplestterms,

the device retains a memory of every transference.

For the very reason you are asking me,

I designed it so that it encrypts the transference,

blocking any reversal.

Then reprogram it so it willunblock it.

You do not have the necessary technology.

Even if iwanted to change it...

I could not.

Thank you for coming.

Carter: Hope you're enjoying the scenery.

It's the only view you'll have

for the rest of your life.

Yes. That is why I called you.

I thought perhaps I might be able to negotiate

for better accommodations.

We're listening.

First, let me apologize for the unfortunate transference

of your colonel and the Jaffa.

Just get to the point.

The symbols you've no doubt tried to decipher

are unique.

In form, they're similar to my native language,

but they're actually an original code I devised

in case my work came into enemy hands.

We're not your enemy.

If anything, we're allies.

That is why

iwill teach captain Carter that code.

With my knowledge, I guarantee you,

not only will you be able to effectively defend yourselves

against the Goa'uld,

you will, in fact, be able to defeat them.

And our cost for this knowledge?

My freedom, of course.

And Dr. Jackson?

He is not an issue. Not an issue?

We're talking about a friend's life.

Your friend was my solution

to hiding my face permanently.

Consider him a casualty of war.

I am offering you the salvation of your planet.

Is this not worth more

than the life of one archeologist?

I don't know about the customs of your planet,

but here on earth,

the value of a life is priceless.

I want you to get to know your casualty.

I believe you 2 have met.

Well, from what I can see,

you're looking... good.

What would you like me to say?

I am sorry?

That I wish I could undo it?

I do not.

Why?

Why?

Because I earned it.

That is why.

I earned it because I sacrificed my life

for you and your people.

The least you could do

was compensate me with another.

What right do you have

to judge the value of my life?

I have suffered more than anyone

should suffer in a lifetime.

For 50 years, I fought against the Goa'uld.

Then iwas betrayed by my wife,

whom they secretly turned into a host.

So was mine.

She is still with them.

At least you still have a planet...

And friends.

2 billion of my people died

rather than surrender me to the Goa'uld.

You have made great sacrifices.

We owe you gratitude.

But still, it does not give you the right

to take another's life.

If you had the technology,

you would do the same.

No, I wouldn't,

because then iwould become no better

than the Goa'uld.

I am not a Goa'uld!

I hate the Goa'uld.

The Goa'uld use hosts

because they thinkthey are better than humans.

Because they believe they deserve it.

You're a Goa'uld, machello.

I am nothing but a host to you.

I am not a Goa'uld.

My wife is still alive.

There is a chance I could still save her.

You are stealing that chance.

Even if you still had this body,

you will never find her.

I will find her.

I will find...

Fraiser: He's in v—fib!

Prepare the paddles!

Come on, Daniel!

Wait a minute.

I've got a heartbeat, but I don't know for how long.

Give me 1 mil epi!

If I could trade places with him again, iwould.

But, unfortunately,

I am the only one who cannot.

Wait a minute.

You're the onlyone who can't?

Yes.

Get colonel O'Neill andteal'c.

What's going on, captain?

I think I may have come up with a solution

to this whole mess.

Finally.

Fraiser: Well, whatever you're gonna do,

do it fast.

All right. It's a little complicated,

so I need you to do exactly as I say.

We're gonna have to play a little musical chairs

with your bodies.

First, colonel, you and machello will switch.

Trust me, colonel.

Colonel?

I'm here.

How do you feel physically?

Peachy.

Mach ello: The transference was successful.

Physically we are fine.

Please continue, captain.

All right.

Now you and Daniel should switch.

Wow.

What a dream.

What happened?

I don't have time

to explain right now, Daniel.

Just bear with me.

Ok. Danny boy?

Jack?

I wish I had time to teach you the symbols.

In your hands, my inventions

could go on fighting the Goa'uld.

It's all right. I'll figure it out.

Please...

I am myself again.

Thank you, captain Carter.

Any time.

Ourturn.

Yes!

Yes!

Shave my head?

I'm back.

He's conscious again.

Thank you...

For my holiday.

Welcome back, sg—I.
