Narrator: Previously on Stargate sg—1

whom do you serve?

Anubis.

He is dead!

That is what you assumed

after you attempted to murder him.

Carter: We think his right hand was exposed

to the equivalent of over 8 to 9 grays

of neutron radiation resulting from direct contact.

It's a lethal dose, sir.

I'm gonna miss you guys.

Yeah.

Me, too.

The ship is asgard. We are being hailed.

I am Thor,

supreme commander of the asgard fleet.

Your presence here is aviolation

of the protected plan ets treaty,

and you must with draw immediately.

I don't think so.

If you do not comply,

iwill be forced to open fire.

Yes, I suppose you will.

You will be destroyed.

I am the great god osiris,

and gods cannot be destroyed.

You should know that.

Very well.

Jaffa: Enemy ship is powering weapons.

Shields are holding.

The ship remains undamaged.

Our days of bowing to the asgard are finally over.

Major.

Sir.

I just wanted to inform you

that colonel O'Neill has requested

that sg—I remain on active duty

while we try to find a replacement

for Dr. Jackson.

So what are we supposed to do,

keep working like nothing happened?

I understand how you feel.

With all due respect, sir,

I don't even understand howi feel.

We didn't even have a memorial service.

We're not even really sure

that he's dead.

And that's the problem.

What are we supposed to do, sir?

Wait and hope that he comes back or...

Or just move on?

When iwas in Vietnam,

I saw my best friend shot down.

I know he survived.

I saw his chute open, radioed his position,

but I never found out what happened to him.

His body was never recovered.

The Vietnamese never admitted

they took him prisoner.

For years, I kept thinking that someday

he's just going to walk through the door.

So what did you do?

I learned to live with it.

Man on P.A.: Unauthorized offworld activation.

What the hell's going on?

Main power's down.

Phones are down.

Man: General Hammond to the gate room.

Repeat, general Hammond to the gate room.

Let's get up there.

Stand down.

Freyr.

Major Carter. General Hammond.

I apologize for our absence of late,

but our war with the replicators

has reached a critical stage.

Well, we might be able

to help you with that.

Yes. We received your message.

If, as you say,

this Android was responsible

for creating the first generation of replicators,

it may well prove invaluable.

However, that is not the only reason I have come.

There has been an incident with the Goa'uld.

An incident?

Commander Thor has been killed.

Killed? How?

The Goa'uld attacked a planet

under our protection,

and commander Thor was dispatched

with the only ship available.

We expected the Goa'uld to retreat

once we made our presence felt,

butthey did not.

The asgard ship was destroyed

in the ensuing battle.

Teal'c: Is not asgard military technology

far superior to that of the Goa'uld?

Their new shields are more advanced

than we first believed,

and it appears they have upgraded their weapons as well.

We can no longer be confident of victory

when dealing with superior numbers.

So, in other words,

the protected plan ets are no longer protected.

Including earth.

Our ability to enforce the treaty in this galaxy

will depend greatly on the outcome

of our battle with the replicators.

However, in the meantime,

we do have another problem.

An asgard scientist has been left stranded

in the research facility beneath the surface

of the planet in question.

We would like you to mount a rescue mission.

Why us?

We have no ships available,

and we understand you have a Goa'uld cargo ship

at your disposal.

Well, it isn't exactly

in perfect working order.

We managed to repair it

with the help of the tok'ra, but—...

We'll do it.

It's what we do, isn't it?

The research being conducted on this planet

is vital to the future of the asgard.

We would be forever in your debt.

Carter: Colonel, we need to talk.

I don't want to hear it, Carter.

You can't just pretend this didn't happen.

I'm not pretending anything.

This is the job.

We lose people all the time.

We're talking about Daniel.

What do you want me to do?

He's gone. We've got work to do.

Are you not all right, major Carter?

I'm fine.

You continue to mourn the loss of Daniel Jackson.

Yeah, I do.

Tell me I'm not the only one.

I will perform the proper rituals

when the opportunity presents itself.

Until that time, this mission musttake priority.

Please, Teal'c, don't give me

that way—of—th e—warrior crap

I get enough of that from colonel O'Neill.

Daniel Jackson has ascended

to a higher plane of existence.

Many Jaffa have dedicated their lives

to achieving such a goal.

So I'm supposed to celebrate?

It is a great accomplishment.

We were a team, Teal'c.

No one can even begin to understand

what we went th rough together,

what we mean to each other.

So maybe Daniel has achieved something

of great cosmic significance,

I don't know,

and to be honest with you right now,

I don't really care.

I'd rather have him back.

As would I.

We're approaching the adara system.

Two motherships orbit the second planet.

We won't be able to activate the cloak

until we come out of hyperspace.

There will be a brief interval

where they might detect us.

How brief?

Just a few seconds.

The odds of them spotting us

are pretty slim.

How slim?

Hardly worth mentioning, sir.

And yet, you did mention it.

Yeah. I'm beginning to wish I hadn't.

Well, at least they're not shooting at us.

That's good.

We are approaching the upper atmosphere.

It's pretty thick.

There is considerable turbulence.

You know, we should really consider

putting another chair back here.

When you think about it, it'd be much safer, wouldn't it?

We have arrived at the coordinates

given to us by freyr.

Nice view.

This can't be right.

The atmosphere is over 80% carbon dioxide

and a surface temperature

of 420 degrees fahrenheit.

Ooh. Hot.

Yeah.

How are we to locate the asgard facility?

Well, that was easy.

Ah, humans.

Interesting.

Greetings.

I am Heimdall.

I assume you were sent by the asgard high council.

Not exactly.

Uh, colonel Jack O'Neill, major Carter, and Teal'c.

I have heard much of your exploits

on behalf of the asgard.

Dr. Jackson is not with you?

Uh, no.

In any case,

it is a great pleasure to meetyou.

Wh ere are we exactly?

Several hundred meters

beneath the surface of the planet.

Of course we'd have to be.

The surface is uninhabitable.

The Goa'uld are unaware

of your presence here?

I've been monitoring their communications.

They know the laboratory is somewhere on this planet,

but as yet, they have been unable

to pinpoint its location.

Well, why don't we get out of here

before they find out?

I'm afraid we cannot leave.

Why not?

First we must rescue Thor.

But I thought Thor was dead.

He is not.

However, his life is in grave danger.

He is a prisoner of the Goa'uld.

Commander Thor,

I apologize for the accommodations,

but we weren't expecting company.

You have committed an act of war

against the asgard.

The response will be swift

and decisive.

As swift and decisive

as your attempt to defendthis planet?

After Thor's ship was destroyed,

the Goa'uld detected an escape pod.

They managed to retrieve it

before it could disappear

into the atmosphere.

Well, how do you know Thor is still alive?

I am able to scan the interior

of the Goa'uld moth ership

wow.

I have located Thor's biosignature here.

Why don't you just beam him out?

Although my sensors

can pen etrate the Goa'uld shields,

my transportation device cannot.

Can you detect Goa'uld life—signs as well?

I can.

Thor is not alone.

The red dot indicates the presence

of a symbiote.

So it's either a Goa'uld or a Jaffa.

In all probability, Thor is being tortured

for information pertaining to asgard technology.

With that kind of knowledge,

the Goa'uld could easily come through our Stargate

wh en ever they wanted.

There wouldn't be anything we could do about it.

I underestimated your strength.

That mistake will not be made again.

Perhaps not,

but nexttime,

we'll have an even greater advantage.

We'll have learned all your secrets.

I will never surrender my knowledge to you.

Not to me, no.

Anubis himself has taken interest

in this matter.

He's on his way here as we speak.

The Goa'uld is leaving.

Can you communicate with him?

Yes. I can.

Thon

Thor. Buddy.

Hey. How you doing?

O'Neill, I am surprised to see you.

Yeah. We're down on the planet with, um...

Heimdall.

Yeah. Him.

Working on way of getting you out of here.

That would be unwise. You musttake Heimdall

and his research materials

and leave immediately.

What are you, nuts?

We're not gonna leave you behind.

Thor: More Goa'uld are coming.

I have been informed that Anubis

will be conducting my interrogation.

All the more reason to get you out.

I will resist their attempts

to probe my mind.

I will die before I give them

any information,

but the very survival of the asgard

depends on Heimdall's discoveries.

Sir, you've got company.

We're gonna have to pull you out.

All right. Listen.

I got to go, but I'll be back.

How's he doing?

Well, he's fine for now,

except for the fact that he wants us

to leave him behind.

For what reason?

I wouldn't mind knowing that myself.

Thor is no doubt concerned that if we delay,

the materials in this laboratory

will fall into the hands

of the Goa'uld.

What exactly are you studying here?

I'm conducting research

into the genetic history of the asgard.

Yeah. Now, see,

that doesn't sound like something worth dying for.

That is because you do not understand

the gravity of the situation.

Feel free to enlighten us.

As a race, the asgard reproduce

exclusively through a process

of enhanced cellular mitosis.

Are you serious?

You have no other means of propagation?

No.

Carter?

They're clones, sir. All of them.

Well, that answers a few questions.

In fact, for nearly a thousand years,

we have been physically incapable

of achieving cell division

through meiosis.

Hmm?

Sexual reproduction, sir.

A thousand years?

It is not something we usually discuss

with other races.

This I understand.

Through cloning, we have achieved

a measure of immortality.

As each asgard's body fails,

his consciousness is transferred

into a newer, younger version of himself.

Unfortunately, the lack of genetic diversity

has become a problem.

It's like making a copy of a copy of a copy.

Eventually, there's deterioration.

We created a process of controlled mutation,

which has helped us to avoid

complete genetic breakdown,

but we are at the limits

of our technical capabilities.

The truth is, the asgard are a dying race.

Have you located the asgard facility?

Not yet, my lord.

We waste time.

Lord yu is mounting an offensive.

Our ships are needed elsewhere.

The plan et's atmosphere

generates much electromagnetic interference.

Then send a squadron of gliders.

At low altitude,

their sensors will be more effective.

The atmosphere is too thick.

It will be extremely dangerous for the pilots.

And how dangerous will it be

when lord Anubis arrives,

and you have nothing to offer but excuses?

I will dispatch the squadron myself.

Very wise.

If Anubis is going to interrogate Thor,

he'll have to ring aboard the ship.

Once they lower the shields

to let him in, we can beam Thor out.

Teal'c: The shields will not be lowered, major Carter.

They will merely adjust the frequency

to accept a ring transmission.

Well, then we can use the rings

on the cargo ship

to beam up at the same time.

Once Anubis is on board,

the frequency will be readjusted,

and we will be trapped.

So we take out the shields from the inside. There.

The shield generator room is located here.

You can use explosives to disable the system,

and I will transport everyone out including Thor.

Once the rings have been activated,

the Goa'uld will be aware of our presence.

Ok, and one of us stays here

and uses the asgard scanner

to direct the others away

from any guards or patrols.

Heimdall: First, I must complete my preparations

for departure.

Ok, Carter, you stay here.

Teal'c and I will go up.

I must remind you, O'Neill, that time is of the essence.

This laboratory will not remain undetected indefinitely.

Right.

Jaffa: Lord Anubis has arrived.

Sir, we found a ring room that's clear.

Stan d by.

Rog er th at.

Heimdall: Ring transporter room has been activated.

Now, sir.

Monitoring your progress, sir.

There's been an unauthorized transport

onto the ship

intruders?

The signal appears to have come from the planet.

I am unable to determine the specific coordinates.

Organize a security detail.

Maximum containment.

I want them found.

Proceed to the end of the corridor and take a right.

Carter, on radio: Hold up, sir.

There's a large party headed your way.

Which way?

Should we double back? What?

No, sir, there's a corridor up ahead on your left.

You should be able to duck in there.

They're almost there.

Uh—oh.

Sir, we've got a problem.

There are several Jaffa patrols

bearing down on your position.

Where? What direction?

They're coming at you from all directions, sir.

Stan d by.

There's no way out.

Perhaps a diversionary tactic would be in order.

Carter?

Damn it.

Carter: Hey, guys. What's happening?

Nice.

Heimdall says the way ahead is clear.

Let's move out.

Anubis: You are the one they call Thor.

I am Anubis.

As I have told your lieutenant,

iwill reveal nothing to you.

This device...

Will be implanted into your brain.

It will form a link between your mind

and the ship's computer.

Your knowledge will simply be downloaded

into our memory banks.

You will no doubt resist,

and you will no doubt fail.

The Goa'uld possess no such technology.

Ithinkyou will find many things have changed

since my return.

The intruders have breached

our security perimeter.

How?

One of our patrols was ambushed.

Seal the lower decks

and divert coolant from the hyperdrive

into the ventilation system.

The gas is toxic.

Only with prolonged exposure.

Shall I evacuate the engine room?

The intruders may be monitoring our communications.

We cannot afford to give them a warning.

Butthe engines will overheat,

and the entire compartment

will be flooded with radiation.

Many Jaffa will die.

And they will be greatly honored

in the afterlife.

Carter?

This is it, sir.

The shield generator room is just on the other side

of that door.

There's 6 Jaffa inside.

Only 6?

Colonel! Teal'c!

Colonel!

Are you sure they're not injured?

Their signals remain strong.

They appear to have been taken to some kind

of holding cell.

Well, we've got to get them out of there.

How?

I'm not sure yet.

In the meantime, we must do all we can

to keep the research materials in this laboratory

from falling into Goa'uld hands.

What exactly are we talking about here?

Some DNA samples?

Not exactly.

What is it?

That is one of my ancestors.

30,000 years ago, a ship was launched

from the asgard home world,

its crew placed in suspended animation.

There was a failure in the navigational system,

and the ship was lost.

Through the millennia,

it drifted across the empty expanse

between our galaxies until it arrived here.

We discovered it

andthis is one of its original crew?

The only one that was perfectly preserved.

He is from atime before our program

of genetic manipulation became irreversible.

So that's why he's so important.

You're hoping his physiology

can give you clues to stave off

your own genetic degradation.

We kept the laboratory in this galaxy

to avoid the threat of the replicators.

Now we can no longer afford to wait.

It is only a matter of time

before the Goa'uld pinpoint our location.

I will require your assistance

to adapt the stasis pod

to the cargo ship's power supply.

All right, but when we're done,

I want you to beam me back to the lab.

I'm not ready to give up on colonel O'Neill

and Teal'c just yet.

I can't believe they took my watch.

Major Carter will soon have no choice

but to leave with Heimdall.

Well, if she's smart, she's already gone.

In which case, our chances of escape are negligible.

Oh, I don't know.

All we gotto do is bust out of here,

take out every Jaffa

between here and the peltac,

commandeer the ship, and fly on home.

I stand corrected.

Thor: O'Neill.

Thor? Is that you?

Where are you?

I am still in my cell.

However, my mind has been linked

with the ship's computer,

and I am using the internal communication system

to synthesize my voice.

The Goa'uld are attempting to down load the information

stored in my prefrontal cortex.

It is only a matter of time

before they breakthrough my mental defenses.

Yeah, well, you know, love to help you,

but we've got our own problems here.

I am aware of your situation.

I believe I may be able to rewrite some minor subroutines

in the security protocol.

To what end?

Sweet.

Thor: I am growing weak.

Further communication will be impossible.

Hang tight. We'll get you out.

Carter: Colonel.

Still with us, huh?

Yes, sir.

Heimdall's gotthe cargo ship prepped

and ready to go.

He can remote access his transportation device

and beam us straight there,

but we still need you

to getthose shields off—line.

Yeah, well, they took our c—4,

so we won't be blowing any stuff up

we have to find a control relay

and pull the crystals.

It'll only take them a few seconds

to switch to backu ps,

butthat should be all we need.

Right. Which way?

I'm gonna have to step off the holopad

and check the ship's schematics.

Try to stay out of sight.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Report.

The battle with lord yu does not go well.

We request reinforcements.

That stubborn old man simply refuses to die.

Dispatch the other ships.

Lord osiris.

One of our gliders has detected

an energy signature located Ben eath

the planet's surface.

Do we have specific coordinates?

We do, butthere is no way in.

Then we'll just have to make our own way,

won't we?

Heimdall: Major Carter, what's your situation?

Colonel O'Neill and Teal'c are out of their cell.

We're working on another way to get the shields off—line.

What was that?

Ithinkthe Goa'uld have made my position.

You should leave immediately.

Just a few more minutes!

Come on, Carter.

I've got it, sir.

Go straight down this corridor

and up two levels.

I'll meet you there.

Carter.

There should be an access panel

somewhere along here.

Next time, I'm the hologram.

Ok. Now we just have to pick the right crystal.

Which one?

Carter?

I thought I heard something.

There's someone in here.

Uhh!

Aah!

Aah!

Uhh!

Major Carter.

Osiris.

We have colonel O'Neill and the shol'va,

so that just leaves...

Dr. Jackson.

Where is he?

Forget it.

Perhaps we should take them all.

Here's a thought.

Shields are down.

Controls are off—line.

Repair them.

Once more.

Where is Dr. Jackson?

He's dead.

You're lying.

Go to hell.

Get us out of here.

Well done, O'Neill.

Thanks.

Thor. Buddy.

O'Neill...

You cannot take me with you.

Why not?

The link between myself

and the Goa'uld ship

has not been severed.

They will be able to track our position.

You must leave me behind.

All right. That doesn't work for me.

That's not an option, ok?

Lord Anubis, the asgard prisoner is gone.

He will not get far.

We've cleared the atmosphere.

Bring up the hyperdrive.

Hyperdrive is off—line. Cloak is failing.

Cloak is down.

We have lost our shields.

We cannot sustain another hit.

Sir, we're receiving atransmission.

Anubis: Your ship is defenseless.

You cannot escape.

Surrender now.

Any ideas?

Heimdall: We cannot risk capture.

We must destroy the ship ourselves.

Any good ideas?

We've got company.

Sir, I'm picking up atransmission

to the Goa'uld ship

freyr: This is freyr of the asgard.

The vessels you face are far superior

to the one you attacked.

Challenge us atyour own peril.

Mothership's retreating.

It's over.

That's it?

Their examination of the Android

must have yielded some positive results

because it looks like the asgard

have finally gained the upper hand

againstthe replicators.

What about Thor?

They managed to remove

the device from his brain,

but it may have been too late.

Apparently, he's lapsed into a coma.

If they knew more about how the device works,

they might be able to help him.

They're studying it now towards that end.

Unfortunately, it's unlike anything

they have ever encountered before.

Teal'c: It is apparent that Anubis

has gained access to technology

previously unknown to the Goa'uld.

Which would explain his rapid rise to power.

Yes, sir.

All right. You're dismissed.

We're notthat much of a nuisance just yet.

Of that I am not so sure.

H ey. H ey.

Heading home?

Actually, Teal'c and I were thinking

of stopping off for a bite to eat.

Interested?

Sounds good.

General?

You 3 go ahead.

I've still got some work to do.

What was that?

Perhaps a malfunction

in the ventilation system.

Yeah. That's probably it.

Bye, sir. Have a good night.
