We have to get to the infirmary.

Daniel's been exposed
to radiation.

Have a medical team
meet us on the way.

Medical team to Alpha two.

Repeat, medical team
to Alpha two.

Colonel, what happened?

Details a little sketchy, sir.

We were not present at
the time of the incident.

Don'ttouch me!

He may still be radioactive.

Let's get him scrubbed down.

Do we know what kind
and how much?

It was a device housing

an unstable radioactive
variation of naquadah.

We think his right hand

was exposed to the equivalent

of over 8 to 9 greys
of neutron radiation

resulting from direct contact.

Full body exposure of over 7.

Oh, my god.

Doctor?

It's a lethal dose, sir.

As you were.

Dr. Fraiser tells me
there's nothing more

we can do for
Dr. Jackson at the moment.

In the meantime,
tell me what happened.

Well, sir,

as you know from
our initial reports,

kelowna is one of 3
major countries on 4c3.

What we've learned since
our initial contact

is thatthey appear to
be at a similar stage

of development to that
of the United States

in the 19405.

Geopolitically, there is
obvious mounting tension

between the nations.

Sort of like a cold war, sir.

The kelownans discovered
their Stargate

approximately 15 years
ago, unearthing it

along with a number of
Goa'uld arti facts

in what appears to be
an ancienttemple.

Their knowledge of the gate

is still limited.

Buttheir interest is strong.

When we told them what
we could offer,

they were eager to share
any technologies

they were developing
that could potentially

be offered in exchange.

Man: This is incredible.

It is a pleasure to meet you,

I'm Jonas Quinn.

I'm special advisor to
our high minister.

Security's a little tight
around here, I noticed.

As you've undoubtedly been told,

this is one of our most secret
and important

research operations.

Daniel Jackson.

Colonel Jack O'Neill,
major Sam Carter,

and the tall,
silent one is Teal'c.

Teal'c.

Well, your arrival on our planet

is an extraordinary event.

It's my honor to show you
aroundthis facility.

Please follow me.

He's an advisor to
the high minister.

Their equivalent
to our president.

As we understand it,
Jonas was responsible

for overseeing the research from

an ethical perspective.

Yeah, whatever.

He had several degrees
from their most honored

education institution—...

Uh, social studies,
ancient kelownan history.

He was a nerd, sir.

He and Daniel got along great.

Daniel: If we could
have access to the site

where the gate was discovered

and see the artifacts—...

We have this process
called carbon dating—...

I could determine
the age of the temple,

maybe even figure out
how it was destroyed.

I'm sure that can be arranged.

Our archaeologists believe
they've only begun

to uncover the full extent
of what may be buried.

There were extensive
alien writings.

Teal'c and I could help
with the translation.

Daniel.

I understand from our leaders

that your knowledge
and expertise

will come at a price, colonel.

That is, why you're here, right?

Well, don't get me wrong.

We want to help out
as much as we can.

It's just that we've been burned

a little bit in
past relationships.

He's not questioning
so much what you

have to offer in return...

We just want to get to
know you better first.

That's it.

Still, hopefully
we'll have much of value

to offer in exchange.

This way.

We can go in now.

This is tomis leed.

He is chief physicist overseeing

the development of our
most critical project.

Tomis, this is sg—I,
the planet earth.

My pleasure.

What is this?

The core of this device

was uncovered in
an ancienttemple

of a race of people

we believe were called the guld.

Goa'uld.

Really?

It's a mineral substance
found to have

highly unstable
radioactive properties.

This experiment seems to
indicate the potential

for great bursts of energy.

Jonas: Our translation of
the writings in the temple

indicate thatthe alien
element is called naquadria.

Uh, naquadah.

No, we also translated
that word in the same text.

This is definitely "naquadria."

So this is some sort of
power—generating device?

Not exactly.

They were making a bomb, sir.

Carter: They were far
from achieving

a deliverable weapon,
but if successful,

it would have been
as powerful as

a naquadah—enhanced
nuclear warhead.

The kelownans claimed they were

under threat of oppression

from their neighboring nations,

and the weapon would only be
used to ensure their freedom.

Sounds like a situation
we would have to be

very careful about
getting involved in.

Yes, sir.

I'm not sure we need to
worry about that, general.

How so?

I don'tthinkthey want
our help any longer.

Something to do with
how Dr. Jackson

was exposed to
that much radiation?

We were touring the city.

Daniel was at the
research facility

with Jonas.

As I'm sure you can imagine,

he was pretty passionate
about trying to convince

the kelownan people
that building a big bomb

wasn't gonna be

the answer to their problems.

Still, we don't know—...

Colonel, what do you know?

Sir, they're claiming

Daniel tried to sabotage
their research.

They're lying, general.

I also do not
believe this to be true.

They let us bring him back home

on compassionate grounds.

But the fact is,

they just didn't want us
aroundthere anymore.

But they are deman ding

that he be returned
to face the charges

if he survives.

What is Dr. Jackson
saying happened?

The nausea will be
followed by tremors,

convulsions, and
something called ataxia.

Surface tissue, brain tissue,

and internal organs will
inflame and degrade.

I believe
that's called necrosis.

And based on the dose
of radiation I got,

all that will happen
in the next 10—15 hours.

And if I don't drown
in my own blood

and fluids first,
iwill bleed to death,

and there is
no medical treatment

to prevent that.

Maybe not that we know of.

We don't go running to
our off—world allies

every time an individual's
life's at stake.

Don't go telling me
this is any different,

because my life is
no more valuable

than anybody else's.

What happened?

It doesn't matter.

Yes, it does.

You didn't try to
sabotage anything.

There was an accident.

I guess the scientists figured

the government would
hold them responsible.

I guess they figured it
was easier to blame me.

And you're ok with this?

No, butthere's not much
I can do about that.

Yes, there is.

If they really want to blame me,

denying it isn't going
to change anything.

10,000 years ago,
a Goa'uld tried

the same experiments
that they're trying,

and he nearly blewthe
entire planet to bits.

I tried telling them that.
They wouldn't listen.

They're going to
build that bomb,

and nothing we say
is going to stop them.

Asgard is still
not responding, Jack.

We've tried to reach
Jacob Carter,

but last we heard he was
on a mission to recover

the last remaining
undercover tok'ra.

General, we do have intelligence

on the sarcophagus.

Sg—3's mission report
two months ago.

Yes, sir.

We both know
the negative effects

of thattechnology, colonel.

But Daniel's been in
one of those things

a dozen times.

Once more isn't going to hurt.

However, sg—3's report
clearly indicated

that the sarcophagus
is heavily guarded.

And likely, retrieving it

would result in
significant casualties,

which is why I did not order

a recovery mission at the time.

Sir—...

Colonel, please don't
thinkyou're alone

in your feelings on this matter.

Yes, sir.

Got anything?

Well, I've been doing
some calculations.

Anything to help Daniel?

I wish.

Based on the amount of radiation

the kelownans say
Daniel was exposed to,

I've estimated
the amount of energy

that would have been
generated by the experiment.

And?

The potential's
astronomical, sir.

Even a very small amount
of the unstable element

they're working with
emitted a pulse of energy

far greater than anything
I've ever believed possible—...

Much more than weapons—grade
naquadah would have.

I mean, it would require
a massive nuclear reaction

to even approach this level.

So?

Well, sir, this could be
the missing link

we've been looking for
in terms of generating

the kind of energy
I believe is necessary

to create a hyperspace window

or to generate and sustain
the kind of shields

the Goa'uld have been using
to protecttheir ships.

Sir, we have to get
some of this element.

By nowtheir government
believes Dr. Jackson

was trying to sabotage
their research.

It's a lie.

They're using Daniel
as a scapegoat.

Still, you said he was vocal
in his disapproval

of their project
before the accident.

None of this bodes well
for diplomatic relations.

Why are you talking about
diplomatic relations?

This is Daniel's life.

Sir, I know how you feel,

because I feel the same way,

but I cannot stress enough

how valuable this
element could be.

I will draft a letter
to the kelownan leaders.

General, you cannot
capitu late to these people.

They are lying bastards.

Their government
doesn't know the truth.

So we tell them.

They will have little reason

to believe us
over their own people,

especially when what we're
forcing them to admit

would be a major embarrassment.

It will putthem at
too great a disadvantage

in further negotiations.

Sir, you cannot admit
Daniel is guilty.

Give me some credit, Jack.

I will tell them that we
did not order any such action

and do not condone
its obvious intentions,

both of which are true.

Hopefully, we can lay
the groundwork

for further diplomatic
negotiations...

Oh, for god's sake.

Which will eventually result

in an amicable trade
for the naquadria.

I'm ordering you
to deliver the letter.

Fine... sir.

Hey.

Colonel O'Neill.

I'm surprised to see you.

Brought a letter
from my superior

to your leaders.

Ah. It's, uh, an apology.

Yeah, hardly.

See, we know you're lying

through your teeth.

How is Dr. Jackson?

Not good.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Two of the scientists in
the room are already dead.

The other two will be shortly.

Their deaths were... horrific.

My superior thinks that
denying the allegations

against Daniel would be
a waste of time.

He's a wise man.

Whati don't understand
is why your government

is even trying to maintain
a relationship with us.

Because we want
some of that stuff

you're experimenting with.

My government still thinks
they can negotiate for it.

The naquadria is very spare
and extremely valuable to us.

I doubt that my government
would ever agree to that.

Yeah, I figured.

That's why I'm here.

I don't understand.

I only agreed
to bring that letter

so I could see you.

Why?

Because Daniel is dying.

And you're looking for
someone to blame?

I'm not going to let you
tarnish his name.

See, I don't care

what that stuff
|s worth to anyone.

My governmentwill admit
Daniel is guilty

over my dead body.

What do you want from me?

Justtell the truth.

I can't.

Even if iwanted to.

Without the support of
the other scientists—...

Look, we're only
in this mess because

you and your buddies
are lying cowards

trying to cover
your own incompetence.

Colonel, we desperately need
the weapon we're developing.

Without it, the kelownan people

could easily fall to
our rival nations

who are developing
their own powerful weapons

as we speak.

Now, we're willing to do
whatever's necessary

to ensure our freedom and a
lasting peace on this planet.

All right, let me be
clear about something.

I think this is the point
Daniel was trying to make.

A weapon of mass destruction

can only be used for one thing.

Now, you mightthink

it'll ensure peace and freedom,

but I guarantee you,

it'll never have the
effectyou're hoping for

until you use it at least once.

Now, just for the record,

the reason we want thatstuff

is because we think
it could be used

to create defense shields.

But you just go ahead.

Blow yourselves to hell with it.

He looks awful.

It's going to get a lot worse,

and it's going to happen fast.

I'm sure you're doing
everything you can.

Sedatives and painkillers—...

That's all we can really do.

You have no idea how painful
this is going to get.

You know, I'd never
normally say this.

It goes against everything
I've been trained to do.

Butthe truth is, he'd be
a lot better off if I...

Daniel?

I didn't suggestthis
before, because, um...

Well, the truth is,
I'm not really sure

what I'm doing with this thing.

I could make things worse.

He's seizing.

Get the crash cart.
Give me 5 of valium.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Help me get him on his side.

Valium's in.

Stand by with the ambu—bag.

Draw two grams
magnesium sulfate.

Ease him back. Easy.

Your fate is in your hands.

Hey, Jack.

Hey.

I, uh... I just wanted to...

I'm really bad at this.

Yes, you are.

I hear that Sam thinks...

Naquadria might be
an important discovery.

Yeah, apparently,
if we can get some.

For what it's worth, I...

Tried to get your point
across to Jonas.

He's in atough position.

You're not going to
take the fall for this.

I don't care what's at stake.

Why do you care?

Because despite the fact
that you've been

aterrific pain in the ass
for the last 5 years,

I may have...

Might have, um...

Grown to admire you a little.

I think.

That's touching.

This will not be your last act

on official record.

Oma...

What?

Oma desala.

I felt like I knew you,

like we had met before, but...

You look different.

Lightning flashes,
sparks shower.

In one blink of your eyes,
you have missed seeing.

Right.

What did you mean

when you said my
fate is in my hands?

When the mind is enlightened,

the spirit is freed
and the body matters not.

You're talking about ascension—...

Right?

The rising to a different...

Plane of existence.

Are you saying

that I could do that—...

Become... like you?

You must complete the journey

you began at kheb.

Only then will you
be able to find your way

to the great path.

What do I do?

Release your burden.

Ok, well, consider it released.

What's step two?

Atall man cannot
hide in the short grass.

You know, I really——
I don't have time

for one of these kind

of conversations.

One cannot reach enlightenment

by running from death.

Tell me what to do.

Many roads lead
to the great path.

Only the willing
will find their way.

Ok, I'm willing.

So let's go.

I mean, you know, do your thing.

Glow me.

The river tells no lies.

Though standing on the shore,

the dishonest man
still hears them.

Right.

Ididn'tthink

it was gonna be that easy.

What are you doing here?

Your commander was kind enough

to Grant my passage.

I broughtthis—...

Naquadria.

I took as much as I could.

Why?

The data recorded
during that accident

demonstrated the potential
power of the weapon

unlike anything
collected previously.

I really don't know
what was worse,

seeing my colleagues
die in the mannerthey did,

or seeing the looks
of utter glee

on our leaders' faces
when they were told

the potential power
of this weapon.

They wanted to know when
it could be demonstrated.

I told them the truth
about what happened.

I read that book you gave me.

Already? I just gave it
to you last night.

Quick study.

It's how I gotthis
position at my age.

And...?

It should prove useful

in the translations.

I thought you'd be
a little bit more excited.

No offense.

I'm just more interested

in what's out there—...

Th rough the Stargate.

Well, all I can say is,

whatever problems there are

between your plan et's nations,

they will seem insignificant

when you do find out
what's going on out there.

Until you give us more details,

there's not much else I can do.

Well, whether you
realize it or not,

you've probably seen
the evidence right here,

on your own planet.

The temple where
you foundthe gate

was obviously occupied
by a powerful,

technologically advanced race.

Now, as far as I can tell

from the pictures
you've shown me,

their civilization was destroyed

by a catastrophic explosion.

Our scientists
have theorized that

an asteroid impacted
our continent,

10,000 years ago.

Now the fallout
from that could've

easily buried the civilization

of thattime.

Or the race that occupied
the gate were experimenting

with the very technology
you are today,

and it resulted in disaster.

If what you say is true about

the potential en emies out there

in our galaxy,

we may need these
advanced weapons

more than ever.

I can't deny that, but...

Some very wise people
have shown me firsthand

how a sudden leap
in weapons technology

by a civilization
that's not ready for it

can lead to its destruction.

Given the chance,

you would deny us
this technology?

I can't predict
what would happen

to your people or your planet,

with or without the weapon.

I just wish there
was another way.

The energy readings
are increasing

by a power of 10.

Incredible.

Did you see that?

Get down!

Stay away from the glass!

The radiation will
pen etrate the window!

What's happening?

This device could explode.

We have to remove the core.

Tomis!

Dr. Jackson!

No. Dr. Jackson!

I am ashamed...

That they would not

bring themselves to recognize

Dr. Jackson's heroism.

He saved millions of lives.

Millions could still die.

The future is never certain.

You saved many,

without regard
for your own life.

I could've destroyed the device.

You believe your journey
is still not over.

Actually, I'm not...

Entirely sure whatthe point

of my journey so far has been.

I mean, if this is about

being honest with yourself...

I believe my entire life

has been a failure.

Just so you know,

Jonas had a change of heart.

He stole some naquadria for us.

He took a big risk.

He said it was because
of what you did.

I think it could be important,

and iwanted you to know that.

You have an effect
on people, Daniel.

The way you look atthings...

It changed me, too.

I see what really matters.

I don't know why
we wait to tell people

how we really feel.

I guess I hoped
that you always knew.

You can never
reach enlightenment

if you do not believe
you are worthy.

Then I guess we may
have a problem.

You once gave me this.

You said that its spirit
would one day

serve its owner
in the afterlife.

Thanks. I'm not dead
yet, but I guess

it doesn't look
so good right now.

If you are to die,
Daniel Jackson,

I wish you to know thati believe

thatthe fight
against the Goa'uld

will have lost one
of its greatest warriors.

And iwill have lost
one of my greatest friends.

Because it is so clear,

it takes a long time
to realize it.

If you immediately know
the candlelight is fire,

the meal was cooked
a long time ago.

Yeah, the monk at kheb
said that to me.

I don't know what it meant then,

and I still don't know now.

Why do you feel you have
failed on your journey?

You've opened the Stargate

for your world.

I cracked a code.

A lot of other people
made it work.

The very nextthing
you did was help

free the people of
abydos from evil.

Sha're!

I had the chance

to live out my life with her.

I couldn't leave it alone.

I was the one
that unburied the gate.

What happened to her
was my fault.

I couldn't save sha're.

I couldn't save Sarah.

Every Goa'uld
I helped eliminate,

another one took its place.

Maybe I did something good,

every now and again,

but nothing I've ever done

seems to have changed anything.

These tasks of which you speak

were great challenges.

Perhaps they were even
impossible to achieve.

Does that absolve me?

You feel your journey

must continue until
you have found

redemption for these failures?

Nope. Not anymore,
not if I'm dead.

Exactly true.

You said I was the only one

qualified to judge myself.

So no matter how much iwant

to achieve enlightenment,

or whatever you want to call it,

what happens
if I look at my life

and I don't honestly believe

I deserve it?

The success or failure

of your deeds does not add up

to the sum of your life.

Your spirit cannot be weighed.

Judge yourself

by the intention
of your actions,

and by the strength
with which you faced

the challenges

that have stood in your way.

What if I can't?

The people closest to you

have been trying to tell you

that you have made
a difference—...

That you did change things

for the better.

Not enough.

The universe is vast,

and we are so small.

There is really only one thing

we can ever truly control.

What's that?

Whether we are good or evil.

Obviously they don't
know that I'm here.

I was lucky enough

to be able to access
our Stargate.

If I'm caught

returning to my planet,

iwill be considered atraitor.

What do you want?

I don't believe that my people

will ever truly
support a war that

leads to any kind
of mass destruction.

Our leaders just don't see any

viable alternative right now.

Promise me.

If you're able

to develop defense technologies

such as these shields

that you spoke of,

you'll share them
with my government.

Of course.

Loudspeaker: Unauthorized
incoming wormhole.

Wait here.

Receiving tok'ra idc, sir.

All defense teams on high alert.

High alert! Repeat, high alert!

Open the Iris...

Stand down.

Sorry about that, Jacob.

Given what's been happening

with the tok'ra lately,

we had to be sure it was you.

Understood. What's going on?

It's Daniel.

Jacob: Hey, Sam, I'm so sorry.

Itried this, but it didn't work.

We'll do our best.

His condition is grave.

I do not know if I can save him.

And even if I can,

I do not believe I can restore

his full, healthy state.

Do what you can.

You're leaving? You can't—...

You can't leave.

The rest is up to you.

Why? Why me? Why
give me this chance?

Anyone can reach enlightenment—...

Anyone prepared
to open their mind

as you did when
you first came to kheb.

They're trying to save me.

They're healing me,
I can feel it.

Then your journey
will continue as before.

What if I don't want it to?

N ot that way.

Walking the great path
brings great responsibility.

You cannot fear it,

nor hesitate in your resolve.

I understand.

I'm ready to go with you.

Then stop them.

How?

Daniel.

Yeah.

Did you want something?

Yeah. Tell Jacob to stop

why?

Because I'm ready to move on.

You just giving up?

No. No.

I'm not giving up, believe me.

You remember oma?

Sure.

Ithinki can do more this way.

It's what I want.

I have to go now.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Please, Jack.

Tell Jacob to stop.

Jacob?

Stop

are you serious?

It's what he wants.

Someone else wanna
tell me whatto do?

Just let him go.

Colonel?

I'm gonna miss you guys.

Yeah... you, too.

Thank you...

For everything.

So... what?

See you around?

I don't know.

H ey...

Where are you going?

I don't know.
