All language subtitles for Stargate SG-1 - S09E03 REMUX.eng

Previously, on
Stargate SG-1.

These bracelets
link us together.

It says that the Alterans
named their new home Avalon

and that they built
many Astria Porta.

Stargates. The Ancients
built the stargates.

Well, it stands to reason that they
weren't always called the Ancients.

These stones are actually an
Ancient form of communication device

that links the users psychically, allowing
them to see through each other's eyes.

Where are we?
I don't know.

But I think
we're in them.

It's possible it was
meant to work this way

so that we can
communicate with others

without intruding on the minds
of those we're connected to.

They're just
temporary transmitters.

Not quite
what I imagined

when I pictured a
civilization of gate builders.

You're not allowed to
investigate your own history?

Such a history contradicts
The Book of Origin.

You're heretics.

What if these gods,
the Ori,

are the people left
behind by the Alterans?

You think
they ascended?

What are you gonna do?

We're gathering as
much evidence as we can.

We keep hidden those
artifacts which prove our claims

in case one or more
of us are discovered.

Daniel!

You're killing
an innocent person!

She's in V-fib.
Code blue.

You will come
with me.

Where are we?
The Plains of Celestis.

And that?

City of the Gods.

Maybe you could
tell me who you are.

I am a Prior
of the Ori.

And what is that?

In time.
All in due time.

I guess we'll just wait here.
Is that what we're gonna do?

Hallowed are the Ori.

Both Daniel and Vala's vitals
have been stable for two hours now.

What about
disconnecting them

from the device?

Dr. Lee has been unable
to remove the stones.

We haven't tried
C-4 yet, sir.

Dr. Lee is working on
disabling the power source,

but given that the device is
tied directly into their minds,

I recommend
we proceed with caution.

I understand.

But if one or both of them
run into trouble again,

I'm ordering you to take
whatever action is necessary

to shut that thing down.

Teal'c, a word.

What can you tell me
about this Gerak fellow?

He was First Prime
of Montu,

a minor Goa'uld
who served Ra,

then later fell in with Ba'al
when Ra was killed.

After the fall
of the Goa'uld,

Ba'al's armada was led
by a Jaffa named Hubrok.

Hubrok was an ally
of Bra'tac's

and would've
supported our desire

to reform the Jaffa nation
with democracy.

However, approximately four
months ago, Hubrok disappeared.

You think Gerak had
something to do with it?

Though no evidence
has been uncovered.

But shortly after
Hubrok's disappearance,

Gerak emerged
as spokesperson

for the more traditional
ways of the Jaffa High Council.

Which he could control.

Through a series of slow
and deliberate manipulations,

the Council played
squarely into Gerak's hands.

Well, that makes him one of
the most powerful guys out there,

at least
that we know of.

I suppose I should
meet him face to face.

I will extend
your invitation.

All right, Daniel,
what does it say?

Well, it seems to
follow suit with

many of the religions
I've studied.

They tend to weave their doctrines
into simple fable-like narratives

with characters that are meant to be
identifiable to the common individual.

Why don't you
read one to me?

I love a good yarn.

They all seem to teach meditation
on one's worth and significance,

the path of righteousness
towards a state of higher being.

What? I'm starving.

The central icon of the
religion seems to be fire.

I don't need a book
to tell me that.

I mean, that would
make sense.

Fire is light,
energy, warmth.

And yet on Earth, at some
point, fire became associated

with demonic imagery,
things that are evil.

Hell, not heaven.
And?

I'm just wondering if the Ancients
had something to do with that.

I'll tell you what.

Why don't you
flip to the end

and see how
it all turns out?

The village of Ver Eger
has been corrupted.

We didn't do it,
I promise.

We're connected to these
people, Harrid and Sallis,

by means of a communication
device that was brought to our galaxy

a long time ago by a race
of people called the Alterans.

Also known
as the Ancients.

Look, the point is,
we meant no harm.

We're explorers.

You know of others
in Ver Eger?

Others?

Unbelievers.

Oh, I'm sorry,

do you want us to tell on people
who don't believe in the Ori?

Devotion is rewarded.

Those who stray must
be guided back to the path.

Seems to me those who
stray get burned to death.

The Ori gave all men
and women free will.

If the Ori are so powerful,
why do they need us

to tell them who believes
in them and who doesn't?

The Ori need nothing
from us.

It is we who must seek
the truth of the universe

in order to achieve
enlightenment.

Been down this road before.

At ease, Colonel.

How are they doing?

There's no change,
Sir.

I know you're concerned
for them. So am I.

But I've got something
else for you to do.

Sir?

Just got a report from
Dr. Lindsay on P3X-421.

Lindsay.
Anthropologist, right?

She's been working with
the human population on 421,

helping them get over the
loss of their former false god.

Trouble?

Well, it seems
a missionary of sorts

came through
the gate yesterday

and started spouting a religion
we haven't encountered before.

Not that we have a problem with
people exploring different faiths.

I suspect we'll see
a lot of opportunists

try to fill the void
left by the Goa'uld, sir.

This newfound freedom is quickly
going to bring about desperation

if people don't learn
to fend for themselves.

A lot of these,
shall we say,

sheltered civilizations

could potentially
be taken advantage of

by a charlatan with
a flashy bag of tricks.

And in this case?

Well, this missionary is
apparently trying to prove

the validity of his claims
by performing miracles.

Miracles.

I'd like you
to take SG-12

and check it out.

Yes, sir.

Amica was forgiven
his transgression

and found his way back
to the path.

I can't take
much more of this.

Sorry to interrupt, but if you
brought us here to try and convert us,

I think
it's fair to tell you

that we're really not in
the market for new gods.

The will of the Ori
brought you here.

I don't suppose we could
talk to one of these Ori?

Of course.

Well, great. That... That...
That would be great.

Speak, and they
shall hear you.

Okay, look, you can torture us
all you want with your rhetoric,

but we're not gonna crack. Well, I might.
But we're not gonna tell you anything,

because we don't know
anything. Am I right?

Uh, can I talk
to your boss?

The, uh...

The Doci.

The one who speaks
the word of the Ori.

"Like Egidius of Vil Dare,

"I need to speak things that can
only be spoken in the light of the fire."

Come with me.

Could you not have
asked that an hour ago?

We've been listening
to him drone on and on...

Not you.

What? Not who?
Not me? But I...

I'll... I'll wait here.

Quite the entourage.

Welcome.

As he lay there dying in the sun,
the sands of the desert all around him,

Petrus spoke to the rock, not
with his lips, but with his mind.

And the rock wept tears of fresh
water, and his thirst was quenched.

Fear not the Ori.

Fear the darkness
that will conceal

the knowledge
of the universe.

Believe in the truth
of all things

and you, too, may find
the path to enlightenment.

"And a man has no
greater thing under the sun

"than to eat, drink
and be merry."

Ecclesiastes,
my favorite.

My grandma was a
bit of a Bible thumper.

Weekends at Grandma's
meant long, long Sundays

at St. Hilda's Church
of the Grand Epiphany.

Lieutenant Colonel Cameron
Mitchell. How you doing?

I am a Prior of the Ori.

It's nice
to meet you.

Your arrival here
was foreseen.

No kidding?

So, you see the future,
do you?

Lessons of days gone by
teach us what will come to pass.

I'm a bit of
a history buff myself.

Doesn't help me pick
the lotto numbers, though.

So, where are you from?

Where we come from and where
we are going are all the same.

Oh, I get you.

"Wherever you go,
there you are."

I think that's
Buckaroo Banzai.

Me, I'm from a little
planet called Earth.

The home
of Daniel Jackson.

He never mentioned
that before.

You know Dr. Jackson,
do you?

From him did we learn
of your need.

Our need for what?

The revelation
of your destiny.

Doci.

Leave us.

Hello, I'm, uh...
Daniel Jackson.

Right.
From the planet Earth.

Okay, so, you know my
name and where I'm from.

So, I assume you also know how
I'm connected to this man's mind,

why I'm here.

You see,
we're explorers.

We'd very much like
to get to know you,

your society,
how you came to be.

A Prior has been dispatched

to the place from
whence you've come.

Really?

You can do that?

I thought we were
in another galaxy.

It is the will
of the Ori

that we should
spread Origin

to all those blessed
by their creation.

Okay, well, I think
you should understand

that there are
many different kinds

of people in the place
from whence I come.

People who believe
in many different things.

They shall find the path
to enlightenment.

Right.

Well, I think you
should also understand

that they may not see
your way as the only way.

The power and
the greatness of the Ori

cannot be denied.

Those who reject
the path to enlightenment

must be destroyed.

Right.

I was afraid of that.

George Washington, one of
our country's founding fathers

and first president,
once said,

"True friendship is
a plant of slow growth

"and must undergo and
withstand the shocks of adversity

"before it is entitled
to the appellation.”

The First Prime of Horus, Karrok
of the High Plains, once said,

"There is more honor in
dying at the hands of a brother

"than there is killing
a would-be friend."

He was a wise man.

He was killed shortly after losing
one of the greatest battles in history.

Oh, well, I hope it wasn't
his brother that shot him.

It was me.

The Jaffa was a fool
in every respect.

He did not deserve
an honorable death.

I see.

Unscheduled incoming wormhole.

I better see
what this is about.

Teal'c, please escort
our guest

to the briefing room.

The Book of Originsays,

"Those who seek the path
to enlightenment

"must not be lead astray."

Right.

See, that can be interpreted
a number of different ways.

I think maybe I know
what the Ori are.

Who they are.

And I'm not denying they
are very powerful beings,

but if I'm right,
they're not gods.

They're like the
Ascended beings I know.

They simply have
a greater understanding

of the knowledge
of the universe.

What is a god but a being that
is worshipped by those beneath?

Is great knowledge,
power, understanding

not enough for you

to revere the Ori?

Respect,
yes, certainly,

but that doesn't mean

I would murder innocent
people in their name.

I guess what I'm trying
to understand is

whether the Ori
have spoken to you

directly and told you
to worship them,

or whether
you've misinterpreted

some evidence
you found along the way

and developed
this religion on your own.

I can't speak for
everyone in my galaxy,

but in my own
humble opinion,

I don't believe that
any individual

or society can achieve
enlightenment

through fearmongering
and forced servitude,

no matter what power
is presented as evidence.

That's something the
Ascended beings I know

very clearly seem
to understand.

Look, don't get me wrong. I mean, we
should all be trying to better ourselves.

I mean, if ascension really is the ultimate
end we're trying to achieve, then so be it.

But we should all be allowed to
get there or not of our own free will.

You can kill me
for saying that,

but that is what I believe,

and nothing you say or do
will ever change my mind.

Come.

The Ori hear you.

We do not require
blind faith.

Only that you believe

what you see
and know to be true.

I realize this is just
a friendly meeting,

but on behalf
of our planet's leaders,

I've been asked to present a
few thoughts for you to consider,

some points that we
can discuss in the future,

possibly looking forward
to an official treaty

between our world
and the Jaffa nation.

Who is that?

Lieutenant Colonel Mitchell,
SG-12,

and a gentleman
we encountered

on another planet
who claims

that he represents some
gods called the Ori.

I think we have yet
to see the real fallout

from dismantling
the infrastructure

established by the Goa'uld.

Indeed.

We have already seen the rise
of individuals and organizations

who are threatening
to challenge us.

There are as many humans
out there as there are Jaffa.

But if we don't continue
to work together,

the victory that we both
worked so long and hard for

could result in chaos.

We are Ori.

And you instruct
these people

to worship you?

We are their creators.

All who follow the path

will join us
in enlightenment.

Do you know
who the Alterans are?

Those who abandon

the path are evil.

Evil? Why?

They shielded you.

Really?

I didn't really think they
did much of anything

for us,
but I guess I was wrong.

The truth of the universe
has been obstructed.

All will know
the power of the Ori.

Hallowed are the Ori.

Vitals are returning
to normal.

I wonder what
that was all about.

I don't know, but he was
in some sort of stress.

We can't seem to disconnect
the stones or turn off the device.

It is the will
of the Ori.

I figured
you might say that.

Are you sure
there's nothing you can do?

If you help us out here,

I guarantee we'll be more receptive
to those stories you wanna tell.

Call it a miracle,
if you want.

When Hannor Mir fell from above
and learned to fly on the way down,

that was a miracle.

Right.

These planets you have mentioned all
have plentiful naquadah mines on them.

And substantial
human populations.

Whose side are you on,
Jaffa?

There are no sides here,
just topics of conversation.

I wish to meet
this Prior of the Ori.

If he preaches faith
in false gods,

then that is a concern
for all of us.

I wish to hear his claims

and challenge him.

What's going on?
This is bad.

Worse than being
burned to death?

It appears
our ascended Ancients

and the Ori have a slight
difference of opinion.

See, the Ori seem to think
that because they're ascended,

human beings
should worship them.

All humans.
And if we don't?

Then we're unworthy of living
and should be destroyed.

I don't think enlightenment
means what they think it means.

See, apparently,
our ascended Ancients

have been shielding
our existence from the Ori.

They've been
protecting us?

The Ori seem to think
that our Ancients are evil

because they haven't shared
the secrets of the universe with us.

Well, I hate secrets, at
least the ones I don't know.

See, the problem is the Ori now
know our galaxy is inhabited by humans

because of us.

I refuse to accept
the blame for that.

Curiosity is part
of human nature.

Look, if the Ancients knew
that the Ori were so bad,

why didn't they stop us
from coming here?

Free will.

Right.

If they have been
protecting us,

there's no reason to
believe they won't continue.

The Ancients may be
protecting us from the Ori,

but not their
human followers.

See, Ancients won't interfere
in any lower planes of existence.

If anybody from our galaxy
wants to worship the Ori,

apparently
that's our choice.

And they won't stop Priors
from coming through the gate

because apparently
they've already sent one.

The Ori have given Priors

special powers,
and that's not fair.

They're still human.

And highly-evolved humans can
have some pretty amazing abilities.

They're using the secrets
of the universe

that the Ori have given them

to spread word
of the Ori's godliness.

And when people
don't see the light,

it's gonna be...

What are we gonna do?
I don't know.

I'm starting to think that sending
Priors is just the beginning.

We could be talking crusade
here. We need to warn Earth.

We need to
get out of these people.

Take the unbelievers
back to Ver Eger.

Let its cleansing
mark forever

the beginning
of a new age.

Evil has raised

a great many unbelievers

in a far-off place.

They must be shown the path.

Hallowed are the Ori.

Hallowed are the Ori.

What are we doing?

Why did he bring us
back here?

I think he's using us to weed out
any other heretics that might be here.

I still don't get why the Ori
just don't do it themselves.

They're supposed
to be gods.

Aren't gods all-seeing,
all-knowing, all-powerful?

Well, the universe
is infinite, remember?

Apparently, that's a lot
to keep track of.

I suppose.

They didn't even know about
our galaxy. Well, until recently.

That's not our fault.

You'd think at least they'd
keep on top of their own people.

I get the feeling the Ori
let their devout followers

do their enforcing
for them.

It confirms their loyalty.

Okay, why did we let the
Prior bring us back here?

Well, because I don't think he
was gonna give us much choice.

Besides,
I'm starting to think

that might be our best
way to contact Earth

and warn them about
what we know. How?

Well, Fannis said that his
sect had found other artifacts.

You think they also have a
terminal device to go with the stones?

If they do, and we can find
it and hook up the stones,

maybe we can get this
communication thing going both ways.

Right. If the Prior is using us
to weed out other unbelievers,

how do we make contact with
Fannis without giving him away?

We can't.

You do not believe
in a higher power?

Well,
it's complicated.

There are a lot of
different points of view

about that subject
around here.

Jaffa have recently shed
the dominance of false gods

that have enslaved us
for many generations.

But many have long believed
in the path to enlightenment.

Origin will
guide you on this path,

and those who revere its
wisdom shall be uplifted.

I have come to spread
the word to the unbelievers

who have been sheltered

and raised by evil.

You have no idea how much
he sounds like my grandma.

It's a pretty big village. I
suspect that Fannis and his gang

did a reasonable job hiding
their sacrilegious artifacts.

Well, we have to
do something.

No, no, no!
Fannis.

You shouldn't have come.

They're using us
to get to you.

So I suspected.

Either that, or you've truly
come to see the power of the Ori.

Not bloody likely.
You have to leave.

If I can help you speak the reality
of our existence to your people,

maybe one day, in turn, they
will spread that word back here.

You said you had other
artifacts besides the stones.

I will show you.
No, just tell me.

Now, we're looking for
a large dome-shaped object

with a blue crystal on top.
The stones fit inside of it.

Come.
Fannis.

You're risking your life.

Harrid, Sallis and I, all
those who believe as we do

have known for some time that
we may give our lives for our cause.

I can only hope one day the
truth comes to bear as a result.

And...

something just happened.

Fannis?

And the people
shall deliver the wicked

unto your divine judgment,

where their sins shall
be weighed in balance

with all that is
just and true.

The Ori are great.
I love the Ori.

I'm a believer.

What's the matter
with you people?

I'm telling you,
I've seen the light.

I don't think
they're buying it.

Well, I've heard you
do better.

Glorious are the Ori
who lead us to salvation,

who didst fight the evil that
would doom us to mortal sin.

Did they defeat the old
spirits and cast them out?

And now, with the
strength of our will,

they do call upon us to
prevail against the corruption

of all unbelievers.

Well,
second time's the charm.

The Ori do not shield this
knowledge, as others might,

selfish in their
powerful advantage.

They lead you to their
realm with the path

that is laid out in
The Book of Origin.

All you need do is
follow their teachings.

I'm very sorry.

You'll have to excuse us for
a moment. Please continue.

Colonel.

They woke up,
just for a moment,

and then they lost
consciousness again.

They say anything?

Yes, they did.

"Guide us on the path

"so that we may triumph

"over the enemy
of our salvation

"and be with you

"in the end of ends on the
planes of enlightenment.”

What is the meaning
of this? I'm very sorry.

We've just received some
information about our visitor here

that demands
we take every precaution.

We'll have to
take the staff, sir.

And you'll have to
come with us.

I demand to know
what you've learned.

All I wish to do is spread the
word of the Ori to your world.

Actually, that was never
going to happen.

Then, I must leave at once.

That's not gonna happen,
either.

Hallowed are the Ori.

Hallowed are the Ori.

Hallowed are the Ori.

Code blue.
Medical emergency in Observation Lab One.

Repeat, code blue.

Same as before, only
this time it's both of them.

Now, hold on.

This device draws its power
directly from subspace.

It'll react very badly to an
explosion. You can't blow it up.

Perhaps we should send it
through the Stargate.

Genius. No, well, it
also uses subspace

to communicate with another
galaxy across the universe. I mean,

there's no reason to believe that
Daniel and Vala won't stay connected to it

even from another planet.

I have a different idea. Tell
him to start dialing the gate.

- Where to?
- Wherever.

Wherever?
Well, all right.

Chevron two encoded.

Chevron three encoded.
Walter.

Orders from
Colonel Mitchell, sir.

Proceed.

Chevron four encoded.

Out of the way!
Out of the way!

Chevron six encoded.

Not yet, Walter.
Not yet!

Halting dialing sequence.

Blood pressure's dropping.
The heart rate's rising.

They're going
into shock.

Now!
Resuming dialing sequence.

Chevron seven locked.

Charging to 200. Clear.

General Landry.

Dr. Lam says that Daniel and
Vala have regained consciousness.

Well done.

See, that's what
I'm talking about.

You have served
the Ori well.

I bow
in humble account.

Come

and gaze upon the flames
of enlightenment.

Let its power
wash over you.

Great holy armies
shall be gathered

and trained to fight
all who embrace evil.

In the name of the gods,
ships shall be built

to carry our warriors
out amongst the stars,

and we will spread Origin

to all the unbelievers.

The power of the Ori

will be felt far and wide,

and the wicked

shall be vanquished.

Hallowed are the Ori.

Hallowed are the Ori.

Thank you.

General Landry
is ready for us.

So, you think we should expect
more of these Priors to show up?

I would be very surprised
if they didn't.

How?

We know one came
through the Stargate,

but if their galaxy's
so far away...

I suspect the Ori have the power
to make a lot of things happen.

Still, for the Priors, I think we
can assume it's a one-way trip.

Don't think they have a
problem with self-sacrifice.

You think the Ancients here in our
galaxy will continue to stop the Ori

from using their power
to attack us directly?

I hope so. I...

So, how do we fight
these guys?

And I mean the message
as much as the men.

A lot of folks out there are gonna
buy what these guys are selling.

Hopefully now many have been
educated to the ways of false gods.

Yes, but we're not talking about
humans with snakes in their heads

with a slightly better
understanding of technology.

See,
their power isn't false.

The Priors are gonna offer to people
what will seem like proof of God.

Proof of powerful beings
is not proof of God.

I'm not saying
it is.

Look, just because we
know there are some beings

on a higher plane of
existence than ourselves,

does not mean there's not an
order of being higher than them.

At least I reckon that's
what my grandma would say.

And the universe
is supposedly infinite.

Which, in my book, makes it
impossible to know everything.

I mean, somewhere in there, you gotta
fill in the blanks with a little faith.

I had a grandma, too.

So, business
as usual, sir?

Let them bring it.

We'll use our strengths
against their weaknesses.

That's a pretty good strategy
for any kind of business you're in.

I'm glad
you two are okay.

Amen.

Hey.

Wow, what the hell
are you doing here?

Nice to see you, too.

No, no, sorry, but I just
wasn't expecting to see you.

Yeah, well,
I was in the neighborhood.

And I've got a little
surprise for Mitchell.

Oh, yeah,
he loved the last one.

The fact you didn't tell him that we
were all moving on to different positions.

Yeah.
Sorry you missed Daedalus.

No, you're not.

You're right. I'm not.

Listen, I just had
a briefing with Landry.

About your stuff.

Yeah, yeah.

Sounds like it could be
a problem.

Well, we've been up against
some pretty bad guys before.

Not so pretty.

Overdressed, yes.

Been through
some tough situations.

That we always won.

Yeah, but didn't you feel
that was because

we had someone
looking out for us?

I don't think I would
say this to anyone else,

but for the first time,
I'm scared.

I'm hungry.

Me too.

Well...

Yeah, man.

This is good.

Still a rush.

Yeah.

I don't know why I didn't
get back on the horse sooner,

except I really didn't think you could
take one of these things for a joyride.

Now, see, that's one of the
great things about being a general.

You pretty much get to
do whatever you want.

Well, I suppose after
you've saved the world

seven or eight times.

Who's counting, huh?

Teal'c.

Actually,
he mentions it quite often.

So, Mitchell, I hear you
haven't picked out your team yet.

I'm hoping
I won't have to, sir.

Why? Did General Landry
say something about it, sir?

He did.

Are you going to
tell me, sir?

He said you're
gonna be fine, Mitchell.

Thank you, sir.

You mind if I kick in
the afterburners, sir?

Oh, please.

Thank you, sir.
