All language subtitles for Stargate SG-1 S08E18 Threads

Previously on Stargate SG-1.

Something neither one
of us can admit...

given our working relationship,
our military ranks.

I didn't leave...

because I care about her.

It's time to let go
of the things...

that prevent you
from finding happiness.

You deserve to love someone.

- What's his name?
- Now why would--

- Humming.
- Pete.

- Pete.
- Pete Shanahan. He's a cop.

Oh, my God.

Maybe I did something good
every now and again...

but nothing I've ever done
seems to have changed anything.

There is really only one thing
we can ever truly control:

whether we are good or evil.

I know who you are,
Daniel Jackson...

but you know not who I am.

Don't do this.

- Last year, you died.
- I'm dead.

Actually, you ascended
to a higher plane of existence.

He was beamed away
before our very eyes.

A human-form Replicator is attempting
to probe your mind as we speak.

When she is done,
she will destroy you.

And when that time comes,
you will be faced with a choice.

A force of rebel Jaffa have managed
to take control of the temple at Dakara.

Have the fleet disengage
their battle with the Replicators.

Take it back at all costs.

We have found
the Ancient weapon on Dakara.

You think Daniel
had something to do with it?

I don't know.

You... have failed me.

We've known for some time
that the Jaffa cannot be trusted anymore.

The remaining army of Kull warriors...

stand an excellent chance
of retaking Dakara--

Worse than failure...

worse than cowardice...

you have betrayed me.

Did you not think
I would know what you have done?

How can you still
underestimate my powers?

Your methods
were ultimately unnecessary...

not when there was another way
of defeating the Replicators.

I will spare your life
for the moment...

only so that you may witness
the fruits of your labors.

First, I will retake Dakara.

Then, thanks to the modifications
you've made to the Stargate...

I will destroy every living thing
in this galaxy--

including you--

all at once.

I do not understand.

You could have
modified the Stargate yourself.

You have no way of knowing
what is necessary and what is not...

in the grand design.

Whose... grand design?

Mine.

- Okay, yeah. Okay.
- Yeah.

I'll tell you everything I know.

Sorry, sir. I just saw
you were with someone.

I didn't wanna interrupt.

- What's up?
- Who was that?

- Kerry Johnson, CIA.
- I've heard the name.

She was heading up
the investigation...

into Goa'ulds still at large
after the incident with The Trust.

- Yeah.
- Sir, I wanted to talk to you about--

- Carter--
- We haven't heard from him in a week.

- Doesn't mean anything.
- We know he was captured by Replicators.

Chances are he was on board
a Replicator ship when it disintegrated.

All we know for sure
is that he's missing.

- Sooner or later--
- Forget it.

I'm not falling for it this time.

- Falling for it?
- Yeah.

How many times
have you thought he was gone...

and then he shows up...

in one form or another?

I'm sorry, but we're not having a memorial
service for someone who is not dead.

Do you hear that?
I'm not buying it.

What?

He's just waiting for us
to say a bunch of nice things about him.

Next thing you know, he'll come waltzing
through that door, like right now.

Waltzing.

Now.

Sunny-side, kind of dry, coming up!

So, what can I get for you?

Brothers Bra'tac of Chulak...

and Teal'c of the Tauri...

for your enduring courage
and vision...

for the strength of will
that has brought us to freedom...

from the Goa'uld--

a future we have yet
to even comprehend...

but one that will be determined
by our own unfettered will--

I hereby bestow upon you
the highest honor...

any Jaffa can know.

From this day forward...

you shall both be known
as blood kin...

to all Jaffa!

Brothers.

From this day forward,
no Jaffa shall bow before anyone...

and never again
before a false god.

- Hail brother Bra'tac!
- Hail!

- Hail brother Teal'c!
- Hail!

Be proud, Teal'c.
Today we are free.

This day is not yet over, brother.

Then I shall be proud for you...

and of you.

- Hey.
- Hi.

Thank you, Airman.

So, this is exciting.

- What's the surprise?
- You'll see.

Do I get to go through the Stargate?
What planet are we going to?

You don't get
to go through the Stargate.

Okay. I'm a little disappointed.

Still, full security clearance,
an all-access pass to SGC?

- This must be big.
- Oh, it's big.

Pete Shanahan, Jacob Carter.

Dad, this is Pete.

- Dad.
- Not quite yet.

You have to actually marry my daughter
before you can call me that.

It's just-- I meant--

Stammer, stammer.

It's an honor
to meet you, sir, really.

- Why didn't you tell me?
- I didn't want you to be nervous.

Why would I? I wouldn't.
I've been dying to meet you.

I think it was Sam
that was nervous.

- How did not telling me help?
- It didn't.

This is great.

Do you really got one of
those things in your head?

If by "one of those things," you mean
a 2,000-year-old Tok'ra symbiote, yes.

Seriously. Come on.

That has got to freak you
right out sometimes.

It's weird.

Hey. What do I have to do
to get some more coffee around here?

Find true enlightenment.

- No menus?
- We don't need them here.

Just order what you'd like.

Okay. I'll have the truth
with a side order of clarity, please.

The Replicator version of Sam
was in your head...

trying to access the knowledge
buried in your subconscious.

But you gained
control of her instead.

She killed you to stop you.

That's where I stepped in.
How's that?

- Pretty clear.
- Well, we aim to please.

Customer comes first, you know.

So I'm ascended again.

Not exactly.

Sort of a... stop along the way.
You have to make that choice for yourself.

Waffles.

Bacon on the side?

- No, I remember this place.
- You should. It came from your mind.

My grandfather brought me here
after my parents' funeral.

- I had waffles.
- Waffles it is.

Wait.

How do I know
it's really you this time?

How do I know this isn't some trick
Replicator Sam's playing...

to stop me from controlling her?

How deep is the river
if you cannot see the bottom?

Deeper than the coffee
in my cup, I'll tell you that.

Excuse me. Frank,
I need a Noah's boy in a blanket...

two hen fruit, wrecked, on a shingle
with a mystery in the alley...

a warm eve with a moldy lid
and two checkerboards, all right?

Oh, yeah, hold the pig.

We have dreamed
of this day for so long...

fought so hard for it
and sacrificed so much.

- Now that it is here--
- It is not here, brother.

The balance of power
has shifted, Teal'c.

Our victory here at Dakara
has turned the tide.

Jaffa everywhere
are abandoning the old ways...

coming to see the Goa'uld
for the false gods they are.

We are foolish to rejoice
in conquest over the Goa'uld...

when they are not all dead.

Anubis' claim to be a god is false,
but his powers most certainly are not.

It is agreed.
He must be dealt with.

But for once,
there may be greater concerns...

than the eradication
of all the Goa'uld.

So consumed were we
in attaining freedom...

that we did not plan nearly enough
for its aftermath.

The Jaffa have fought
with each other for so long...

that uniting them as one
may prove as difficult a task...

as convincing them to free themselves
from the Goa'uld.

Generations of war and mistrust
will not be healed overnight.

Indeed. If we do not organize quickly,
freedom will become anarchy.

The high priests are proposing
a leadership be assembled.

That is wise.

They wish both of us
to sit on the council.

You know that will take you
from the Tauri.

Your purpose in joining them
was to one day free the Jaffa.

Now that day is upon us.

You must not abandon your people
when we need you most.

Of that I am aware.

The council will preside
from the new Jaffa home world...

where a great city is to be erected--

a haven for all those
who have chosen freedom...

here, on the holy ground
of Dakara.

Hey, I know you.

- Really?
- Yeah.

The guy from the paper,
Dr. Daniel Jackson.

That's okay, keep it.
I'm done.

- Thanks.
- No problem.

So, are you gonna visit
Mark and the kids this trip?

Tomorrow.

Is everything okay?

- I'm just not very hungry.
- You've been pretty quiet.

- I'm fine.
- Dad--

What?

It's been two hours since Pete left.
You haven't said a word.

- I did so.
- "He seems nice"?

- I believe that's three words.
- I'm gonna marry him.

I know.

I just met him.
What do you want me to say?

I know how happy
he makes you.

That's all that matters to me.

Okay.

- Selmak really liked him.
- Selmak?

Yeah, and he's
a great judge of character.

Well, okay.

Look, Sam, I'm tired.

It's been a long day.

- I think I'm gonna turn in early.
- You sure nothing else is wrong?

Yeah.

- I'll see you in the morning.
- Good night.

- What?
- Sorry to wake you, sir.

Teal'c's back, and it sounds
like we have a problem.

I knew it.

All right. I'll be there
as soon as I can.

Crap.

Who was that?

Trouble in Jaffaland.

Gotta go.

I'm sorry.

- You know about this?
- Yes.

- You're not gonna do anything about it?
- You know I can't.

Well, I'm certainly not just gonna
sit here and let this happen.

You can't leave.
You're not ascended yet.

You walk through that door,
you're choosing the alternative.

- You're saying I'll be dead.
- Pretty much.

Okay, ascend me.

It doesn't mean you'll be able
to help your friends.

- You know the rules.
- Yes, but once I'm ascended...

I can choose to take human form again,
just like last time.

Technically, yes.

But you can't take
that paper with you.

You won't have any of the knowledge
that you've gained here.

And good luck ever ascending again.

I'm certainly not going
to help you a third time.

You're saying I can know Anubis
is plotting to destroy...

all life in the galaxy,
and all I can do about it...

is stay here and contemplate
my own enlightenment?

You can eat your waffles.

No syrup?

Hi. How's it going?
I'm... Daniel Jackson.

Sorry to bother you. Just wanted to know
if I could borrow your syrup.

Although technically
it's not gonna be "borrowing"...

'Cause I'm not actually
gonna give back what I use.

Enjoy your meal.

Hi, guys. How's it going?

They're not going to talk to you.

Why not? Who are they?

Others.
You're not one of them yet.

- You mean Ancients.
- Couple of them.

- What are they doing here?
- Watching.

- Me?
- Me too.

I told you before.
They're always watching.

You wanted some motor oil?

I still wish you guys had blown that
thing up when you had the chance.

We had to at least be sure that all
the Replicators really were eliminated.

And even though we apparently
did get rid of them all in this galaxy...

there may still be more elsewhere
that could be a threat again.

So we wanted to try to figure out
how the device worked...

in case we ever needed
something like it again.

Great. Well, now the Jaffa
have something...

that can blow up the entire universe
with the push of a button.

The Jaffa will defend Dakara
with their lives.

You want to explain to me
why they don't want to wreck it?

The ruins at Dakara have
become a symbol of freedom.

Much more, the Jaffa believe
that the device's power...

helped free them
by destroying the Replicators.

They also believe
that controlling this power...

will help ensure
their freedom in the future.

And get them
virtually anything they want.

The Jaffa would never
use it to that end.

Jack is right. No one should have
that kind of power at their disposal.

Sorry. Thought I'd turned it off.

So, we're all in agreement?

One way or another,
it's gotta go. Correct?

- Indeed.
- Thank you.

If you are suggesting
we destroy this device...

against the wishes
of the high council...

I must point out that would not be
a good first step in relations...

between the Tauri and the newly formed
free Jaffa nation.

Why don't you do it?
You already hate the Tok'ra.

To be honest,
a plan may already be in the works.

But as you know, Selmak and I
aren't fully in the loop any longer.

- Yes?
- Sorry to interrupt, sir.

Colonel, there's a call for you.
Apparently it's urgent.

Sorry.

Carter.

Teal'c and I have arranged
another meeting of the Jaffa council.

Our hope is to continue
strengthening the bond...

between previously warring Jaffa
by focusing on our common enemy.

Yeah, I know.
It's not a good time right now.

There are still many Goa'uld
who remain a threat.

I know. I'm sorry.

I don't know. It could be an hour.
It could be all day.

Yeah, I know.

Okay. Yeah, me too.

Bye.

- Sorry about that, sir.
- Emergency?

No, no. Just a misunderstanding.

Hey, weren't you supposed to meet
Pete at the florist this morning?

No, Dad.

No, I'm sure
that's what you said.

For the wedding.

I know.

Go ahead, Carter.

- It's supposed to be your day off anyway.
- It's okay, sir.

Teal'c and Bra'tac
are meeting with the Jaffa.

There's nothing to do around here.
Go pick flowers.

What?

- More coffee?
- Sure.

Can you sit a minute?

Okay.

How am I supposed to put it?

Man, are my dogs tired.

That's good.

- How are your waffles?
- Best I ever had.

Can you tell me why you stopped me
from killing Anubis...

the last time I was ascended?

Because if I didn't stop you,
the Others would have...

and they wouldn't have been
as nice about it.

You mean, they wouldn't have erased
my memory and left me naked on a planet?

That was your choice.
Okay, maybe not the naked part.

But I didn't totally erase your memory,
even though I was supposed to.

There. Why is it okay to break
some rules and not others?

If you knew I had a problem
following the rules the last time...

why offer me ascension again?

Because I didn't
want to see you die...

without at least
giving you a second chance.

Look, I have trouble
following the rules.

I'm not really supposed
to help people ascend.

You're supposed to
do it on your own.

But you do it.

I walk the line.
Believe me...

I crossed it a few times
and paid for it dearly.

My point is,
you just need to be willing...

to put your prior human
existence into the proper context.

Sorry. I got to get back to work.

Coffee, please.

Chocolate or vanilla?

- I'm sorry. What?
- Chocolate or vanilla? The cake.

Just in case you can't make
the meeting with the caterer.

I'm sorry. I really do
want to be a part of this.

- I hope so. It's your wedding too.
- I know.

I realize this must be weird for you--
worrying about place settings...

when we could be destroyed
by aliens at any minute.

A little.

We're not about to be destroyed
by aliens, are we?

No.

'Cause you seem a bit distracted.

I'm sorry.

- So, your dad like me?
- Of course. Why wouldn't he?

- Tough guy to read.
- You just have to get to know him.

How about... Selmak?

- He thought you were very charming.
- For a human.

Well, generally speaking,
that's my type.

Good.

Did I tell you
I also have a surprise for you?

- No. What is it?
- Tricky.

You'll see.

The council remains unwilling
to destroy the weapon...

for fear it will weaken
the resolve of the Jaffa...

to stand united against
the remaining Goa'uld.

You realize we have to consider
that thing a threat to our security?

Indeed.

The council recognizes the danger
and has decided to take action...

by aggressively seeking out
and killing Anubis.

Once that threat
has been eliminated...

they will reassess the decision
to destroy the device.

We don't even know if Anubis
can be killed yet, do we?

We must not suggest
to the Jaffa that he cannot be.

At the very least, we can eliminate
the remainder of the forces of Anubis.

I believe this quest will unite
many of the still-fractured armies...

by giving them focus
on a common goal.

Got anything to go on?

Many of the Kull warriors were killed
in battle with the Replicators...

but intelligence gathered
indicates that Anubis...

may be marshaling the remaining
Kull warriors on Tartarus.

A preemptive strike
is being prepared.

It is the point.
You never listen.

The point is only what you want,
what you hear, and what you want to say.

Because that is true,
and that's what you have to find out.

You perpetuated it. You abused it.
You took advantage of it.

Yes, you did, Jim.

- Hey.
- Hey. Daniel.

- How's it going?
- Do we know each other?

- I feel like I know you.
- Call me Jim.

We ran into each other
the last time you were ascended.

Nice to meet you again.

You still haven't made up
your mind, huh?

Death or everlasting enlightenment?

Don't really see the choice myself.

Of course, I don't want to be dead.
It's just that--

Listen, the reason I
came over here was to ask you...

why are you talking to me?

You mean, because these other snobs
won't even look at you?

- Yeah.
- I'm different.

- Like Oma.
- Really?

Because I kind of had the impression
that you two don't quite see eye to eye.

What, that little--
That was nothing.

We both operate somewhat
outside the normal rules and regulations.

Sometimes we disagree on how far
outside we should go. That's all.

- Really?
- Yeah.

As long as these other guys
don't strike me down, I figure I'm okay.

I guess that's what
I'm trying to figure out.

I feel like if I agree to ascend...

I'm signing a contract
that I don't even know what it says.

Obviously, I had a little trouble
with the fine print the last time.

You sure did.

You know about that?

Well, it's all out there.

I just don't see how I
can agree to stand by...

and let Anubis destroy
every living thing in the entire galaxy.

I know.

That's a tough one.

Speaking of which,
have you seen the latest?

He's a crafty one. Really knows
the ins and outs of the rules.

I give him three-to-one odds
to succeed.

Want to know
the irony of it all?

That device was originally
used by the Ancients...

to create life
in the Milky Way.

Well, recreate it,
after the whole plague thing.

No kidding.

Now it all gets undone
with the push of one button...

leaving Anubis to recreate
things all over to his own liking.

There's a waste of a million-odd
years of evolution, huh?

I say someone should really
do something to stop him!

No one will.

Can I get a coffee?

- Can I open them now?
- Almost.

Okay. Now.

What do you think?

Well--

- Speechless, huh?
- Yeah. Yeah.

Isn't it great?
Remember our first night together?

You described
the house you always wanted.

I can't believe this.

The kitchen isn't yellow,
but we can paint.

Come on. I'll show you.

And you're not gonna
believe the backyard.

The dog's gonna love it.

Dog?

This is bad.

Yeah. This pie is great.

There's nothin' to wash it down with.

Is there anything you can do
to stop Anubis?

I mean, you did say
someone should do something.

I did, didn't I?

Well, as far as what can be done,
it's kind of complicated.

Yeah, so Oma tells me.

Yeah, well, I don't think
she's told you everything.

- What does that mean?
- I'm saying--

- I've already said too much.
- No, you haven't.

In fact, you've hardly said
anything at all.

You gave up eternal enlightenment, all
the knowledge and power of the universe.

Why do you think you did that?

To fight for humanity
any way I could.

Yes. Very big of you.

You rejected everything
Oma offered you...

and now she just gives you another chance,
based on the goodness of her heart?

Well, that is the point, isn't it?
I mean, she's ascended. She is good.

Sure. Best intentions.

Do you know what happened
between me and Oma?

Why did I choose
to take human form again?

You should ask Oma.

- Hi, sir.
- Carter.

Look, I'm sorry to bother
you at home like this, but--

- How'd you know I was here?
- I saw the smoke.

Yeah.

Look, is this okay?
I mean, I could've called first, but--

No-- Yeah.
I mean, it's fine.

So, what brings you
to this neck of the woods...

on such a fine day
in my backyard?

Well, actually, I've been sitting in
your driveway for the last 10 minutes...

trying to work up the nerve
to come and talk to you.

The truth is, I've been trying to work up
the nerve for a lot longer than that.

- Pete put a down payment on a house.
- Well, that's great.

- It's a beautiful house.
- But?

The truth is, I'm having second thoughts
about the wedding.

Why?

See, the thing is, the closer it gets...

the more I get the feeling
that I'm making a big huge mistake.

Look, Carter,
I don't know what--

I'm sorry to bother
you with this, but...

see, there's actually a very good reason
that I am bothering you with this...

and if I don't tell you now,
I might never--

Jack, I looked everywhere.
I could not fi--

Colonel Carter.

- Ms. Johnson.
- Yeah.

- I didn't--
- We were just meeting...

here in my backyard
on this fine day...

to discuss the state of affairs.

- Well, this is awkward.
- You think?

Jack didn't want anyone
at the SGC to know about us.

No, look, I--

I'm sorry. This is my fault.

I shouldn't have come by
unannounced like this.

Well, you know,
now that the cat's out of the bag.

You're here.
Why don't you just stay?

I'm sure there's enough charred meat
on the grill for all three of us.

No, thank you.

It's the SGC.

Colonel Carter.

What? When?

Okay, I'm on my way.

I gotta go. It's my dad.

Well, you can't stay here forever,
you know.

Actually, I suppose you could, I just
don't know why you'd really want to--

Except for the great service.

Look, obviously,
I don't want to just die.

I don't suppose
there's any other options?

I can't get into it.

- What's stopping you from ascending?
- I don't know.

There must be something holding
you back, making you doubt yourself.

Maybe it's not me I'm doubting.

Look, whether you
choose to accept living...

on a higher plane of existence
has nothing to do with me...

or anything that I
can or can't tell you.

- It's all up to you.
- There is something you're not telling me.

Is that what Jim said?
You shouldn't be listening to him.

- Why not?
- Because.

- Good answer.
- Yes.

Dad?

I'm sorry, kiddo.
We both are.

About what?
What's going on?

I didn't want to ruin
everything like this.

Dad?

It's Selmak. He's dying.

Oh, my God. I'm sorry.

It's okay. He's okay.
He led a pretty full life.

I didn't live with Jolinar that long, but
I think I have some idea of what it's like.

Well, this is a little different, Sam.

As you know,
when a Tok'ra symbiote dies...

they can prevent their host from dying,
as Jolinar did with you.

The problem is,
that last selfless act...

requires a certain amount of energy
and a conscious effort.

- What are you saying?
- By all rights...

Selmak should have been dead
weeks ago.

I wouldn't let him go.

I thought we needed him--

that I needed him to
help you stop the Replicators.

Dad--

He hung on as long as he could.

Then he slipped into a coma just after
we activated the weapon on Dakara.

You've known all this time,
since then?

I didn't want to spoil your wedding.
You know, I thought we could make it.

- "We"?
- He's barely alive.

I'm gonna die with him, Sam.

- Where is she?
- I don't know.

Off doing whatever it is
she does when she's not here.

- You ask her?
- Yep.

- Wouldn't tell you?
- Nope.

Had to find out for yourself
last time too.

- Man, were you pissed.
- About what? Tell me.

What do you know about Anubis?

I know he's half-ascended,
whatever that means.

There are many planes
of existence...

between human existence
and ascension.

Basically, the Others
use their collective powers...

to keep him from affecting
anything on a grand cosmic level.

But it's okay for him
to destroy an entire galaxy?

It's okay for him to do
anything he could have done...

back when he was
a regular old Goa'uld.

I see. What does this
have to do with Oma?

Goa'ulds are bad.
Anubis is as bad as they come.

- And?
- And--

And ascension requires that
somebody be pure of spirit.

One must be good to the very core
to achieve enlightenment.

- So how does someone like Anubis ascend?
- Now he's getting it.

Oma helps people ascend, but she'd
never help somebody like Anubis.

- Maybe not on purpose.
- You're saying he tricked her somehow?

Rule number one--

no lone ascended being
shall help a lower ascend.

Lowers are what we call
humans and such.

If you deserve to be here, you should
be able to get here on your own.

If there's an exception,
for whatever reason...

a majority vote by
the collective can get you in...

but Oma thinks she knows better,
and she's taken her licks for it.

I admit, for the most part,
she's brought good people on board.

But as the old saying goes,
nobody's perfect...

not even us higher beings.

Oma helped Anubis ascend.

Get out.
Get out now.

Well, look at the time.
Got to go, kid. Business to attend to.

It was nice talking to you, though.

A number of the Tok'ra have responded.

- They want to pay their respects.
- They can come.

I can't believe
there's nothing they can do.

They can remove a Goa'uld.

In the last few years, you've almost
perfected the process of saving a host.

That process instantly kills
the symbiote before it releases toxins.

It's too late for that, Sam.

I'm sorry.
I hate to do this to you.

But I should have been dead
four years ago.

Since then,
I've been all over the galaxy.

I've done things most men
never dream of.

I've heard that before.

I just wanna know
you're gonna be happy.

I am.

- Don't let rules stand in your way.
- What are you talking about?

- You joined the Air Force because of me.
- I love my job.

You can still have
everything you want.

I do, Dad.

Really.

- How's Colonel Carter's father?
- Doesn't look good.

Sorry to hear that.

Closing the door.

Yeah.

- Deeply symbolic.
- Really?

I really like you.
We're good together.

Yes. We are.

- But--
- You have issues.

It's okay. We all do.

There's just one big one in particular
that I don't think I can love with.

Live with. I need to get out
before I get more involved.

We can still work together,
can't we?

I'd hate to have to ask
for reassignment.

This is really important to me.

We agreed this would
never affect the job.

- We did.
- Good.

You know, there's just one thing
I don't understand.

Just one?

Is the Air Force the only thing
keeping you two apart?

Rules and regulations?

Because if it is, you're making
a very big mistake.

And you know what I should do?

- Retire.
- Again?

Don't get me wrong. You are considered
invaluable to the program...

by the Pentagon,
but the president has appointed...

a civilian to run the SGC before.

Just a thought.

The time has come for this ancient
warrior to fight one final battle.

I think not, old man.

This victory will present us
with many new challenges...

that will require your wisdom
and sound judgment.

What our people will require
is a youthful, vital leadership.

And that is something others
are better suited to provide.

You are only as old
as you believe yourself to be.

Talk to me in 50 years.

Indeed, I will.

So it's true?

He tricked me.

How? You couldn't tell?

No.

He must have found some old
Ancient research on ascension.

When he came to Kheb,
he knew what he was doing.

When I realized the horrible mistake
that I had made...

I tried to undo it, but I couldn't.

That's when the Others stepped in.

I don't understand.
They only sent him halfway back.

- Why not all the way?
- It's complicated.

Yeah. What isn't around here?

They warned him.

He wasn't allowed to use
any knowledge or power...

unless he otherwise
would have gained it as a Goa'uld.

I don't understand.

They let him wreak havoc.

They don't care if he destroys
all life in the galaxy...

life they themselves created?

They haven't stopped me
from continuing my work.

I've tried to make up for it,
help when I can.

It's your punishment.

You're forced to watch,
powerless to interfere.

They let Anubis do whatever he wants
just to punish you?

I told you before, the galaxy you're from,
the plane of existence...

is so small and insignificant
compared to the rest of the universe.

I don't care. It's wrong.

That's what you said
last time.

Excuse me.

Isn't it enough already?

A whole galaxy of innocent people
enslaved and tortured for generations...

now on the verge of being
destroyed for nothing?

For what?

For one mistake a good person
made trying to do a good thing.

Come on. The least you could do
is listen to me.

That can't be against the grand
highfalutin cosmic rules!

Hey, I'm talking to you!

Well, I know you can hear me.

Hasn't she's suffered
enough already?

And certainly, enough other people
have suffered to punish her.

Don't you think
you've made your point?

That's the thing, Daniel.
They don't.

I keep breaking the same rule--
helping people ascend.

- That's why you're here.
- What if you stopped?

Wouldn't undo the problem.

That's why I keep doing
what I do.

Anubis can't be killed.
Not by you, not by me.

He is not here.
No one is here.

The defenses we fought through
were automated.

We have been deceived.

Anubis fed us this intelligence
to lure us here.

Our forces defending Dakara
are depleted.

We could not have known, brother.

You were right, old friend.

The device at Dakara should have
been destroyed at all costs.

- You okay?
- Actually, I'm fine.

Good even,
strange as that sounds.

I thought I lost him
four years ago.

Since then, we've been closer
than we ever were my whole life.

In a way, Selmak gave me
the father I never thought I'd know.

Come here.

Thank you, sir.

For what?

For being here for me.

Always.

I'm ready.

I love you.

- Can I get a coffee?
- Get it yourself.

Don't mind if I do.

Hey, Danny boy, you see the paper?

- No. What's it say?
- The trick worked.

Those stupid Jaffa took half
their ships to hunt down Anubis.

Meanwhile, his army was poised
to attack Dakara.

The remaining rebel Jaffa guarding Dakara
are being slaughtered.

It's only a matter of time before old
Anubis gets his hands on the weapon.

I'm sorry. You sound
almost happy about that.

- Well, who, me?
- Yeah.

What do you have against Oma?
No. I wanna know.

You're not just watching.
You're coming in here to rub it in.

Why are you taking
such pleasure in her punishment?

Me? I don't have anything against Oma.
I think she's great, don't I?

Hell, she's the one
that helped me ascend.

You got it now.

You are Anubis.

Cheers.

I knew from the beginning.

I guess I just thought
when you said yes that...

you were worth the risk.

Don't say I deserve better.

- It can't get much better than you.
- That's not true.

I wish I could believe this
had something to do with your father.

You needed some time
to sort things out.

I guess all I can say is
I hope you get what you want.

- That's it?
- What do you want?

You want me to get down
on my knees and beg?

God, no. Of course not.

I just--

I thought you
would react differently.

Bye, Sam.

The rebel fleet guarding Dakara
has fallen to the forces of Anubis.

Bra'tac and the remaining
rebel ships will not arrive in time.

Anubis now controls the weapon.

Then we find
the biggest damn nuke we can...

and we shove it
right through the gate now.

Anubis will certainly
have the gate shielded.

The nuke will not arrive
in one piece.

If we can dial the Alpha Site,
we may be able to prevent the weapon...

from connecting
a wormhole to either planet.

- It may only buy us the 38 minutes that--
- Go. Go. Just go.

Sergeant, dial the Alpha Site now.

Wait a minute.
That's not me.

- What?
- I don't know.

Incoming wormhole.

That's not gonna stop the energy
from the weapon.

If it is the weapon.

- No iris codes.
- We're too late.

Self-destruct.

That's not gonna destroy
the gate, and theoretically...

there's only a remote chance
it would disengage an active incoming--

Carter! Carter.

You make a great cup of coffee.

Well, gotta go.

There's nothing you can do.

You don't have the power.

But I do.

- You can't kill me either.
- I can fight you.

- Well, you can't win.
- It won't matter.

You won't be able to do anything
but fight me back.

What are you gonna do?

Something I should have done
a long time ago.

- Wormhole disengaged.
- What's going on?

I don't know.
Must be some kind of system malfunction.

- That's impossible.
- Shut it off.

Aborting self-destruct.

The Kull warriors became
disorganized and confused...

as though they no longer
knew what to do.

They no longer had
a master to serve.

After that,
they were easily defeated.

Many Jaffa lost
their lives at Dakara.

Those that survived are united
as never before, and we are in agreement.

- The weapon must be destroyed.
- That's good.

A new memorial will be erected
in its place...

so that our triumph over the Goa'uld
will never be forgotten.

I still don't quite understand
what happened.

One minute, Anubis is about to push the
button that ends all life in the galaxy...

and the next minute,
he's just gone.

Indeed.
It is a great mystery.

One can only assume he was vanquished
by some means.

If not, why would he forfeit
the weapon and his army?

- You think?
- I do.

It's the only thing that would explain
the self-destruct not going off.

Of what do you speak?

O'Neill believes that Daniel Jackson
is somehow responsible.

Nope, it wasn't me.

Anybody else hear that?

I'm in here!

That's Daniel.

No! Don't come in!

Hey, there!

Something.

It's a long story.

- This is great.
- I told you.

I can't believe we didn't
do this years ago.

Yes. Let's not dwell.

There are no fish
in this pond, are there?

Nope.

Nice.
