Original subtitles

The malp readings indicate Avery low uv level.

All other indications suggest a positive environment.

O'Neill: Sounds good.

It's going to take us 2 weeks

to get the en karans fully transplanted.

If the plan proves to be suitable.

It better be. They're running out of time.

Chevron 7 won't engage.

I don't understand it.

The diagnostic shows no problems.

Sir, this is going to take a while.

Carter: It looks like there was

an energy spike in our power log about 8 minutes

before we first tried dialing out.

Uh, correct me if I'm wrong,

but isn'tthat something we've seen before

when another gate is being used on earth?

Like when maybourne's

nid guys had the other gate.

There is no longer

a second Stargate on earth.

Ou rs was destroyed

along with Thor's ship

Carter: But if there was another gate,

and it's use was responsible for the energy spike,

there might be a corresponding seismic tremor,

like when the gate was found in Antarctica.

Davis: I've got something.

There was a minor seismic event

that matches the time in our power log exactly.

Is that Siberia?

Yes, sir.

Andthere's only one explanation I can think of.

The Russians have a Stargate?

The Russians recovered the Stargate

from the bottom of the ocean.

I thought we swept that entire area.

We're talking about hundreds

of square miles, colonel.

The Russian Navy was on alert

because they picked up

Thor's ship on satellite.

They must have got lucky and beat us to it.

And they're admitting it?

We didn't give them much choice, major.

The Pentagon said we had the evidence

that could prove it.

Daniel: Obviously they figured out how it works.

It took us years.

Apparently, the Russians know

quite a bit about the sgc.

How?

They didn't say.

And how they got it open

isn'tthe issue right now, either.

The problem is, it won't close.

Well, that doesn't make any sense.

I mean, shouldn't it eventually

shut down on its own?

The Goa'uld themselves

have not been able to sustain

a wormhole longer than 38 minutes.

What about another black hole planet?

Carter: We would detect

a gravitational anomaly, sir.

Hammond: The Russian government is divided

on how to deal with the situation.

It seems the Russian president

didn't support setting up

a Stargate program in the first place.

Until we called,

they were planning on bombing the facility

and covering the whole thing up

and now?

One of the Russian scientists

involved in starting the program

convinced them to send in ateam

to assess the situation and determine

if it can be resolved in another way.

Who's the scientist?

Dr. Svetlana markov.

Wow. I know her work. She's brilliant.

She knows about you, too, major.

To that end, she's convinced Moscow

to let sg—I be the team that goes to Siberia.

You're kidding.

Jack, I'm thankful they're smart enough

to realize this has global implications

andthat you are the foremost experts

on the Stargate.

General, we'd be walking

into an unknown situation

to save their rosy butts.

Uh, we can't use our gate until they get theirs shut down.

Not to mention the potential danger

of having an open wormhole

between earth and who knows where.

You'll rendezvous with Dr. Markov

in Russia and proceed to the base from there.

O'Neill: Dr. Markov, I presume?

Sorry I'm late.

Carter: Doctor, it's an honor.

I've read your work.

And I you rs, major Carter.

I had hoped we would meet under different circumstances.

Jack O'Neill.

Yes.

And Dr. Daniel Jackson and Teal'c.

How do you know about the sgc?

I have read extensive files on all of you.

The question was how?

I learned to read English at the age of 6.

It is not difficult.

Russian humor.

I will tell you what I can on the way.

Markov: I was first contacted

shortly after Russian satellites

picked up what we believed

was an alien spaceship entering the atmosphere.

Alien spaceship, huh?

Markov: About 2 months ago,

it disintegrated during entry

and crashed into the pacific.

The Stargate was recovered

after an extensive sweep of the ocean floor.

During that search,

one of our foxtrot submarines went missing.

You may be familiar with the incident.

Not a clue.

I was assigned to th e program

as chief science officer,

second in command to colonel sarkalov.

We've been in operation for 37 days,

albeit against the wishes

of certain very powerful people

in the government.

What did they want to do?

They th reaten ed to expose

the existence of your program.

To what end?

To get the us. To share

the technology you have attained.

So, what stopped them?

We activated our gate.

I convinced the military

thatwe could benefit from our own program

more than we could trust you.

Ah!

How did you activate it?

We have a dialing device.

The dhd.

You found the one from giza!

It was confiscated from the Germans

after the second world war.

Well, nowi understand how you can send your people through

and get them to return to your gate instead of ours.

That makes one of us.

Our gate superseded yours

as long as the dialing device was connected.

We only kept it connected

when we were using it to prevent any crossover.

It required precise timing, but it worked.

Until now.

As for the current situation,

I really don't know what has happened.

There has been no contact with the base

since yesterday at 1200 hours.

Sir, we have avisual from the target runway.

It appears to be iced over

and there's no response from the control tower.

We're going to have to jump

out of the plane?

I'm going with or without you, colonel.

I suppose you expect my male bravado

to kick in right about now?

I read your file.

No mention of bravado, eh?

There are 47 people down there

who may need our help.

Look.

You don't have to tell me what's at stake here.

We've got 7 teams off world who can't get home

until we fix what you screwed up

Stu.

Gear 'em up...

Forajump

I do not understand, O'Neill.

It's called a parach ute.

It slows your descent

after you jump out of the plane.

This device seems to be poorly designed

to provide such a function.

It opens after you jump.

Don't worry about it.

I've done it hundreds of times.

I assume you've brought Hazmat.

Yeah.

We thought somebody should be prepared.

Is he always like this?

Actually, this is quite charming.

Gear is away, sir.

It's easy.

Justjump, then pull this.

This does not seem wise, O'Neill.

I said it was easy, not wise.

If we get separated,

we'll rendezvous at th e base.

This does not seem wise.

O'Neill: Teal'c, Daniel, come in.

There's been no response on the radios.

Markov: Their signals may be blocked

if they are already inside.

Markov: Up there.

O'Neill: Teal'c, Daniel, do you read?

Teal'c: I am here.

Where?

In the facility.

Daniel: Yeah. I'm here, too.

Where?

Well, I don't know exactly.

Where are you?

We just got inside. Hang tight.

Carter: I'm picking up

trace amounts of ch lorine.

O'Neill: Yeah?

Nothing dangerous at these levels, sir.

All right. What is this place?

It obviously wasn't built specifically

for your Stargate program.

Markov: It was an experimental power station.

Experimental?

All that I am allowed to say

is that it was decommission ed 2 years ago.

O'Neill: Oh, please!

Are there lights?

Markov: The power seems to have been diverted

from all non—essential base functions.

This way to the main control center.

O'Neill: Daniel, is that you?

Daniel: I don't know.

I'm heading down a long corridor.

Which one?

This one.

This way.

Actually, you might want to see this first.

Teal'c: These 3 were shot.

I am unaware of how these others died.

Markov: These doors lead to the Stargate.

They're all dead.

Markov: I need this station.

It's safe.

The air is indeed clean.

You ok?

I knew these men and women, major.

Some of them quite well.

So, what happened here?

Colonel sarkalov enacted

the extreme measures protocol.

What's that?

The Stargate room is sealed

and substance 35 is released

throughoutthe base.

Nerve gas.

Nerve gas!

It's ok, colonel.

It's a non—persistent gas.

It evaporates after 3 hours.

According to th e computer,

the protocol was enacted yesterday.

For what reason?

The computer log doesn't say.

All right.

People were shooting each other around here

before they got gassed, and I want to know why.

I'll see what we can find out.

This is a list of all personnel

assigned to the base.

They should all be wearing ID tags.

So, what about the gate?

Markov: It's an outgoing wormhole, but—...

That doesn't make sense.

The em protocol cuts off the dialing device.

If th e protocol was enacted yesterday,

where has the outgoing wormhole

been drawing its power from since then?

We've seen one draw power

from the source of the destination.

Of course. The black hole incident.

Is there anything you don't know?

What were they doing?

It's gone!

If I ask, "what," and you say, "it's classified,"

I'm going to shoot you.

The seventh address we successfully dialed

led to a Stargate

entirely submerged underwater.

We send a reconnaissance drone

and found a dialing device,

so it was decided that a manned mini submarine

would go next.

A sample of the water was retrieved.

It seemed to have unbelievable properties.

Like what?

It was spontan eously emitting energy

in the form of heat.

If this liquid turned outto be

an abundant clean energy source—...

Uh, that doesn't seem possible.

I was called away to Moscow

before I could perform

any significant analysis.

So, now you're saying the water sample is gone?

Yes.

There was a sealed container being kept

in this containment vessel.

And the Stargate is dialed into the water planet now?

Apparently, butthat doesn't make sense.

They were supposed to continue on

to the next 2 planets on our planned sequence

and not revisit the water planet

until I got back.

Let's confirm it.

Do you have another reconnaissance drone?

We left the first one there.

All we have to do is reactivate the receiver.

O'Neill: Daniel, Teal'c?

Uh, what's up?

Head back to the control room.

Dr. Markov thinks you might want to see this.

Teal'c: Thus far, we have accounted

for 28 of the 47 numbers on the list.

Daniel: 6 of them were dressed

as civilians, not soldiers.

They were all shot

and there was no apparent reason why.

They were the scientists working in the lab.

So, the guys experimenting on that water

gave the soldiers reason to shoot them.

So it seems.

What water?

It was a sample brought back from a planet

where the Stargate is submerged.

Ithoughtyou might be interested, Dr. Jackson.

We found some unusual ruins

from an obviously extinct civilization

on the ocean's floor.

The coding signal

from the reconnaissance drone.

Can you get closer?

The drone is malfunctioning.

I can only pan andtilt.

Why would those men proceed through the Stargate

knowing they would drown on the other side?

Can you shut off the drone's transmitter from here?

Why?

Well, even though the wormhole

only allows matter to travel one way,

we are able to send radio signals back and forth.

You thinkthe drone's radio transmitter

is what's keeping the gate open?

That gate won't close if the drone is aiming

a strong enough signal

directly into the event horizon.

And the energy being emitted by the water

has allowed the gate to stay open this long.

Exactly. It's a combination of factors,

but all we have to do is shut off the drone.

It's not responding to my command.

I can't shut it down.

How long before its batteries die?

The drone is nuclear powered.

A nuclear—powered drone?

We built several of them.

We thought we might want

to leave them on other planets

for long—term observation.

How long—term?

10 years.

It will be simple to deactivate the drone

from the other side.

Once it stops transmitting its signal,

the wormhole should close.

I'd like to get a closer look atthose ruins.

How many people does thatthing hold?

Oh, dang.

I've never been in a submarine before.

Spacious. Roomy. Very nice.

So, exactly how much air do we have in this thing?

Over a day's worth.

We won't need more than an hour.

Colonel, can you hear us?

Yeah. I read you.

Pressurizing

and proceeding through the gate.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Carter: Wow.

It is quite beautiful.

What? The rapid pressurization

might cause your ears to block.

As you might notice,

there is no plant or animal life.

Doesn't appear to be any plant

or animal life.

Colonel, do you read?

Yeah.

We're counting 5 bodies on this side.

Which means there could still be several personnel

unaccounted for.

All right, we'll have

another look around.

Markov: We're capturing the dron e.

Once it is inside the containmenttank,

we can deactivate it,

and if major Carter is right,

the gate will shut off.

Ending transmission. Over and out.

So, let's have that look around.

I'm glad you were right, major.

Well, it still doesn't explain

why your soldiers started shooting

the scientists, who were experimenting

on the water.

Or why those men were either

forced th rough the gate, or felt compelled

to go through on their own,

knowing they would die.

Well, the existence of the ruins

suggests the planet wasn't always completely submerged.

Maybe there's some clues down there.

Let's have a look.

Something wrong?

The controls are getting heavy.

I haven'ttouched the power,

yet we're slowing down.

Strong current?

It's possible.

I'm pushing it to full power.

What's that smell?

We've completely stopped.

Uh, fire. The extinguisher.

It's out. We're ok.

Can you fix it?

Yes.

What?

If it was a strong current,

it should be pushing us backwards now.

But it's not.

No. We're completely stationary.

It's like we're stuck in the mud.

Without the mud.

What's that smell?

Holy frozen bad guys.

How's it going?

I think ican fix it.

Wait. 5 minutes ago,

you said you definitely could fix it,

and now you just think you can?

What do you want to hear?

I don't understand whythis happened.

Well, given the obvious solid craftsmanship that went into this thing,

I don't see howthis possibly could've happened.

If you're implying that everything

russian—made is of poor quality,

actually, the sub is Swiss.

So, they occasionally catch fire,

butthey keep perfecttime.

Sorry.

Think I've been hanging around Jack O'Neill too much.

There was nothing impeding us.

It shouldn't have happened.

Well, here's something else

that shouldn't be happening.

The outside pressure is increasing.

What?

The Gauge must be malfunctioning.

But it's Swiss.

Our depth is constant,

and pressure should be relative to depth.

And if it keeps increasing?

The sub will implode.

Now we know how the Russians

acquired their information.

Solid.

Whoa! Whoa, whoa.

Do not humans usually die

when they are frozen?

Usually.

They usually don't breathe when they're dead, either.

So, Svetlana, could you go over

exactly what happened last time you were here?

We came through the Stargate,

just as we did this time.

We took the sub straight to the dialing device,

and redialed earth.

The gate opened, and we headed through.

That's it?

We collected the water sample

just before getting back through the event horizon.

No trouble?

We had to push the engines

a little harder to get through the gate,

but I suspected it was some kind

of intuitive counterm easure,

intended to keep the water from flowing

through the gate.

It's possible.

My research indicates the gate actually has

the ability to use density, molecular structure,

and the force being exerted on the event horizon

to determine whether

something's actually trying to pass th rough.

I know.

That's where I got the idea.

Maybou rn e?

His heart is beating,

albeit, slowly.

He is getting warmer, O'Neill.

Maybou rn e!

You hear me?

We're not going anywhere, are we?

What're you doing?

Pushing the engines harder will only

burn them out again. Nexttime, I may not be able to fix them.

And if we stay here, we'll run out of air.

If the pressure keeps increasing

at the current rate, the sub will implode.

Long before we run out of air.

Or that.

I figure we have maybe an hour.

I agree.

The front bubble will be most susceptible.

It will be the firstto go.

Could we stop agreeing on how we're going to die,

and start doing something about it?

All right, that's far enough.

Maybou rn e...

Maybou rn e, stop!

Move again, and I'll shoot.

Damn.

Jack...

The freezer.

What?

Move if you want to live.

Shoot me, if you want to.

We're dead if we don't move now!

Teal'c...

It's too late for him! Jack...

You open that door, and we're both dead, I swear!

You can't help him.

Getthe hell out of my way.

What the hell's going on here?

Daniel: You said it's like we're being held here.

Like something is squeezing the sub.

There is only water out there.

What if it's not water?

Exactly what tests did you run on the sample

when you brought it back?

As I said, we had begun preliminary analysis.

It was being kept in a sealed container.

It hadn't even been opened yet when iwent away.

How did you know it was giving off energy?

The container maintained atemperature

several degrees above room temperature.

And you never performed a chemical analysis?

I insisted the proper controls be set up

they were supposed to wait until I got back.

Butthey didn't.

Colonel sarkalov was under a lot of pressure to prove

thatthe money being spent was going to be worth it.

So, we don't know that's actually water out th ere.

It's alive.

What?

The water.

When they exposed itto the air

to start a chemical analysis, it just evaporated—...

Turned into vapor.

You were there?

We inhaled it.

Didn't give us a choice.

Who's us?

Scientists in the lab.

I knew what was going on, but I—I couldn't control myself.

They wanted to go back th rough the Stargate.

Who's they?

Life forms in the water.

Countless numbers of microscopic organisms.

Intelligent life forms.

Are you trying to tell me this water thinks?

We were killing them.

They forced us to try and take them back through the gate.

Soldiers tried to stop us. They were shooting.

If an infected man was killed,

the fluid came out of him, and more were infected.

It was chaos.

One of the infected soldiers managed to getto the dhd

and getthe gate open. That's when the base commander

enacted the em protocol to stop it.

The infected men started running through the gate,

trying to escape the gas.

Why didn'tyou?

I was cut off from the gate room.

Ithinkthe liquid organisms inside me knew

the only way to keep themselves alive

was to escape the gas and freeze themselves.

They forced me in here.

You were frozen solid when we found you.

They kept me alive.

How do you know all this?

I don't know how exactly. I just do.

They must've communicated itto me.

This 5 the stuff that's in Teal'c now?

How do we get it out?

Come on, maybourne, it came out of you!

They needed to go back.

You wouldn't let me go.

I guess they thought Teal'c could get them home.

What if it's a life form?

That is pure assumption.

That would certainly explain everything.

After you collected the sample, you said

you experienced resistance trying to go

back th rough the gate.

It wasn't the gate causing the resistance.

It was the life form trying to prevent you from leaving.

And now, it's perceiving us

as some kind of threat.

Teal'c!

Teal'c!

Fight it! Fight it!

Aah!

It's all we've got.

The pressure alone...

Daniel?

What are you doing? What's he doing?

Carter: Daniel?

I think it just wants to understand.

What?

Us.

Teal'c?

They had no wish to kill me, O'Neill.

They only want to travel home.

That's good.

You all right?

I will be.

Ok... ithink we should duck.

Ahh. That had to hurt.

Didn'tyou guys leave here in a submarine?

We, uh...

The lastthing I remember,

we were being pulled into the...

Not really sure what happened, sir.

Here's a thought...

We just exchanged hostages.

It's just a thought.
