Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,900 --> 00:00:08,276
We've been over this, Mr Ambassador.
2
00:00:08,259 --> 00:00:10,262
Your submarine. Yes, yes.
3
00:00:10,259 --> 00:00:15,098
The missile sub Rostovwas less than
75km from the impact of the meteor.
4
00:00:14,980 --> 00:00:17,189
You insist on maintaining this story?
5
00:00:17,178 --> 00:00:19,931
The shock wave caused
severe damage and she sank.
6
00:00:19,897 --> 00:00:25,277
In the spirit of international cooperation, a
rescue vessel was sent from Pearl Harbor.
7
00:00:25,138 --> 00:00:30,393
Unfortunately the Rostov's reactor went
critical before she arrived on the scene.
8
00:00:30,257 --> 00:00:34,845
I have heard your government
repeat this story time and time again.
9
00:00:34,737 --> 00:00:37,948
Yet, according to our intelligence,
on the day in question
10
00:00:37,896 --> 00:00:44,402
the submarine in question was still taking
on supplies in the harbour at Vladivostok.
11
00:00:44,976 --> 00:00:47,061
What can I say, Ambassador?
12
00:00:47,057 --> 00:00:51,143
Your intelligence is wrong.
And not for the first time, I might add.
13
00:00:51,057 --> 00:00:54,433
The Americans are hiding something,
and have been for years.
14
00:00:54,375 --> 00:00:58,545
That Russia seems to have no objection
is all the more confusing.
15
00:00:58,456 --> 00:01:01,082
- In the spirit of cooperation...
- Please.
16
00:01:01,054 --> 00:01:06,018
What you call a new spirit of cooperation
between your two countries, Colonel,
17
00:01:05,894 --> 00:01:09,691
makes the People's Republic of China
uncomfortable.
18
00:01:09,614 --> 00:01:13,742
- We couldn't help but overhear.
- Yes. I was trying to explain...
19
00:01:13,653 --> 00:01:18,200
My dear Colonel, if we can agree
on anything, it's that your lost submarine
20
00:01:18,093 --> 00:01:21,680
is merely the latest in a long list
of extremely unlikely events
21
00:01:21,614 --> 00:01:24,783
the Americans have attempted
to foist upon us as the truth.
22
00:01:24,733 --> 00:01:30,322
- Yes. The Americans are up to something.
- They did summon us here for a reason.
23
00:01:30,173 --> 00:01:36,721
To hear more stories of falling meteors
and exploding hot- air balloons.
24
00:01:36,531 --> 00:01:40,618
Mr Ambassador, I am sure we can provide
you with the necessary evidence...
25
00:01:40,531 --> 00:01:44,201
That won't be necessary, Colonel.
26
00:01:58,131 --> 00:01:59,799
General?
27
00:02:01,730 --> 00:02:04,567
Gentlemen, please be seated.
28
00:02:23,449 --> 00:02:25,283
Thank you.
29
00:02:25,288 --> 00:02:27,248
Welcome to the Pentagon.
30
00:02:27,247 --> 00:02:30,918
Please forgive any security measures
you had to undergo to get here.
31
00:02:30,848 --> 00:02:35,645
In America we try never to underestimate
the competence or curiosity of our media.
32
00:02:35,526 --> 00:02:38,112
We asked you here to inform you
of a secret operation
33
00:02:38,086 --> 00:02:42,550
that the US Air Force is operating
out of Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado.
34
00:02:42,447 --> 00:02:45,992
It's called the Stargate programme.
35
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,308
Gentlemen, the Stargate.
36
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,324
The device itself
was discovered in Egypt in 1928,
37
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,824
where it lay buried
for several thousand years.
38
00:04:13,799 --> 00:04:17,928
In 1945 a team of scientists looking
for a military application for the device
39
00:04:17,838 --> 00:04:21,468
established a stable wormhole
by a process of random dialling.
40
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:26,194
For all intents and purposes a lucky
accident, which they could not repeat.
41
00:04:26,079 --> 00:04:29,790
The gate remained inactive
until eight years ago,
42
00:04:29,716 --> 00:04:33,721
when this man, Dr Daniel Jackson,
joined the programme.
43
00:04:33,637 --> 00:04:36,557
Dr Jackson deciphered
the symbols on the gate,
44
00:04:36,518 --> 00:04:39,396
allowing us to begin
exploration of alien worlds.
45
00:04:39,358 --> 00:04:44,237
Since that time, Mr Ambassadors, we
have visited literally hundreds of planets.
46
00:04:44,117 --> 00:04:47,661
Thousands more remain to be explored.
47
00:04:49,316 --> 00:04:51,276
What?
48
00:04:51,276 --> 00:04:53,028
This is absurd.
49
00:04:53,036 --> 00:04:55,288
I know it's a lot to process, gentlemen.
50
00:04:55,276 --> 00:05:00,031
The first time I saw the gate activated,
I could hardly believe my eyes.
51
00:04:59,915 --> 00:05:03,043
- It is true.
- You know about this?
52
00:05:02,995 --> 00:05:06,999
The Russian government has been
aware of the Stargate for some time.
53
00:05:06,915 --> 00:05:09,000
Are you quite serious?
54
00:05:08,995 --> 00:05:14,959
Did your president not recently call
Great Britain "America's closest ally"?
55
00:05:14,795 --> 00:05:18,173
One of our people illegally
sold the Russians information
56
00:05:18,113 --> 00:05:21,867
which allowed them to temporarily
operate their own programme.
57
00:05:21,795 --> 00:05:25,838
- You had one of these Stargates?
- For a short time.
58
00:05:26,353 --> 00:05:28,605
How many of these
bloody things are there?
59
00:05:28,593 --> 00:05:34,641
Another Stargate was recovered from
the bottom of the ocean two years ago.
60
00:05:35,353 --> 00:05:37,189
I don't understand.
61
00:05:37,192 --> 00:05:40,069
SG-1 was trapped
aboard an Asgard vessel.
62
00:05:40,033 --> 00:05:43,161
They beamed aboard our Stargate
as their means of escape.
63
00:06:15,028 --> 00:06:19,533
So the gate the Russians recovered from
the Pacific was the gate found in Egypt.
64
00:06:19,428 --> 00:06:22,973
We replaced it with a gate we
discovered in Antarctica five years ago.
65
00:06:22,908 --> 00:06:25,369
That Stargate has since been destroyed.
66
00:06:25,348 --> 00:06:31,271
The original gate is back in Colorado,
leased from the Russian government.
67
00:06:33,949 --> 00:06:38,245
The explosion of your nuclear submarine
was a cover story for these events?
68
00:06:38,148 --> 00:06:44,319
Actually the Rostov explosion covered up
the explosion of a crashed Goa'uld ship.
69
00:06:44,146 --> 00:06:48,651
Whereas the Stargate
was aboard an Asgard... ship.
70
00:06:48,867 --> 00:06:50,951
The Asgard...
71
00:06:51,946 --> 00:06:54,574
Obviously this is very confusing
at first glance.
72
00:06:54,545 --> 00:06:57,591
Oh, no, no, no. What could be more clear?
73
00:06:57,545 --> 00:07:01,257
There were two different sorts
of alien ships. I follow completely.
74
00:07:01,185 --> 00:07:06,189
This is much more believable than the
accidental loss of a Russian submarine.
75
00:07:06,064 --> 00:07:12,362
Although I am dubious that not one but
two reported meteors in the last few years
76
00:07:12,185 --> 00:07:14,728
were in fact alien ships.
77
00:07:14,704 --> 00:07:17,375
Actually, there were three.
78
00:07:20,024 --> 00:07:25,528
Gentlemen. Sorry I'm late. I had a meeting
on the hill that couldn't be postponed.
79
00:07:25,384 --> 00:07:26,968
Senator.
80
00:07:26,983 --> 00:07:29,694
General. What have I missed?
81
00:07:29,663 --> 00:07:35,502
Your officers have been telling us
several tall tales, as you might say.
82
00:07:37,862 --> 00:07:43,742
So you've been at this God knows how
long and they don't even believe you?
83
00:07:44,502 --> 00:07:47,838
If that doesn't take the cake...
84
00:07:47,781 --> 00:07:51,701
I don't know what they've told you,
but it's true. The Stargate exists.
85
00:07:51,622 --> 00:07:55,375
And they go through
the damn thing on a daily basis.
86
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:58,720
Does everyone in your government
know about this?
87
00:07:58,659 --> 00:08:03,247
As chair of the Appropriations Committee,
Senator Kinsey was given a full briefing.
88
00:08:03,139 --> 00:08:06,017
I demanded to know
where all the money was going.
89
00:08:05,980 --> 00:08:10,401
And believe you me,
we're talking about a lot of money.
90
00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:16,973
I'm sure what you find hard to believe
is why we would come forward with this.
91
00:08:16,781 --> 00:08:19,699
The Chinese government
has threatened to go public
92
00:08:19,658 --> 00:08:23,329
with information that contradicts
one of our cover stories.
93
00:08:23,259 --> 00:08:26,387
But that isn't the only reason.
94
00:08:27,577 --> 00:08:28,788
The fact is,
95
00:08:28,819 --> 00:08:35,241
due in no small part to the actions of
the Stargate programme's flagship team,
96
00:08:35,057 --> 00:08:37,558
SG-1,
97
00:08:40,376 --> 00:08:43,337
our planet is facing imminent danger.
98
00:08:46,456 --> 00:08:51,629
So, assuming this is not
some sort of elaborate hoax,
99
00:08:51,496 --> 00:08:55,709
and there are no television cameras
ready to pop out at any moment,
100
00:08:55,616 --> 00:08:59,952
these aliens who threaten
to destroy Earth even as we speak...
101
00:08:59,855 --> 00:09:02,274
- The Goa'uld.
- Mm- hm.
102
00:09:02,254 --> 00:09:05,008
- They built the Stargate?
- No, sir.
103
00:09:04,975 --> 00:09:08,479
The gate system was built by
an older race, long since disappeared.
104
00:09:08,416 --> 00:09:10,418
The Goa'uld regularly use the gates,
105
00:09:10,414 --> 00:09:15,918
but they subjugate humans with powerful
ships capable of interstellar travel.
106
00:09:15,774 --> 00:09:18,610
Such as the one
that crashed in the Pacific Ocean.
107
00:09:18,572 --> 00:09:23,870
And the Goa'uld have dozens,
if not hundreds, of these vessels.
108
00:09:24,734 --> 00:09:27,946
This is a single Ha'tak- class vessel.
109
00:09:27,894 --> 00:09:32,356
Each Goa'uld system lord
operates entire fleets of these.
110
00:09:45,412 --> 00:09:49,124
Typically a Goa'uld flagship
is several times this size.
111
00:09:49,052 --> 00:09:51,554
They also have bombers called Al- Kesh
112
00:09:51,532 --> 00:09:54,243
and small fighters
known as Death Gliders.
113
00:10:06,250 --> 00:10:08,378
Pull up, Teal'c. Teal'c, pull up!
114
00:10:11,570 --> 00:10:14,196
The Goa'uld are
more advanced than us in every way.
115
00:10:14,168 --> 00:10:17,880
There can be no doubt that
they have hostile intentions.
116
00:10:17,808 --> 00:10:22,438
- Can we negotiate with them?
- The Goa'uld are a predatory species, sir.
117
00:10:22,328 --> 00:10:26,833
They will enslave a planet or, in the face
of resistance, wipe out its inhabitants.
118
00:10:26,729 --> 00:10:31,692
They don't negotiate. We have witnessed
Goa'uld attacks on several worlds.
119
00:10:31,568 --> 00:10:34,613
They begin with a long- range assault
launched from orbit,
120
00:10:34,567 --> 00:10:38,864
designed to take out planetary defences
and instil fear in the population.
121
00:10:47,527 --> 00:10:51,154
I am Svarog.
122
00:10:51,087 --> 00:10:56,216
From this day forth, you will serve me.
123
00:10:56,525 --> 00:11:02,532
After their orbital assault, they'll move in
to strike any remaining ground positions.
124
00:11:13,284 --> 00:11:16,621
After that, they'll put
their troops on the ground.
125
00:11:16,565 --> 00:11:20,277
Each mothership carries hundreds
if not thousands of warriors.
126
00:11:34,602 --> 00:11:37,605
They appear to be amassing a few troops.
127
00:11:41,763 --> 00:11:45,683
It was high time you were all briefed
on what we're up against.
128
00:11:45,601 --> 00:11:48,605
If what you are saying is true,
129
00:11:48,562 --> 00:11:55,192
then the US has unilaterally taken actions
which have placed the world in jeopardy.
130
00:11:55,001 --> 00:11:58,713
Mr Ambassador, I know how you feel.
When this was brought to my attention,
131
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:04,022
I insisted that the gate was
too dangerous to remain in operation.
132
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,342
Unfortunately I was overruled.
133
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,028
With due respect, the president
took your recommendation.
134
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,173
And it nearly resulted in disaster.
It was only because of the efforts of SG-1,
135
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,333
who violated your order to shut down
the gate, that we managed to survive.
136
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,451
Oh, and they've done a great job since,
under your tenure, haven't they, General?
137
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,489
You managed to defeat
the Goa'uld known as Apophis,
138
00:12:28,399 --> 00:12:33,070
only to see him replaced
by another more dangerous one.
139
00:12:35,437 --> 00:12:38,274
Isn't that a fair assessment?
140
00:12:51,596 --> 00:12:54,432
You are the one they call Thor.
141
00:12:54,397 --> 00:12:56,899
I am Anubis.
142
00:12:56,876 --> 00:13:02,465
As I have told your lieutenant,
I will reveal nothing to you.
143
00:13:02,316 --> 00:13:07,321
This device will be
implanted into your brain.
144
00:13:08,835 --> 00:13:14,091
It will form a link between
your mind and the ship's computer.
145
00:13:13,955 --> 00:13:19,043
Your knowledge will simply be
downloaded into our memory banks.
146
00:13:18,914 --> 00:13:21,875
You will no doubt resist.
147
00:13:21,835 --> 00:13:24,336
And you will no doubt fail.
148
00:13:24,313 --> 00:13:27,232
The Goa'uld possess no such technology.
149
00:13:36,832 --> 00:13:41,754
I think you'll find many things
have changed since my return.
150
00:13:41,633 --> 00:13:47,178
Admittedly, Anubis has technology
that is far superior to any other Goa'uld.
151
00:13:47,032 --> 00:13:51,912
But we could not have foreseen his return
to power among the other system lords.
152
00:13:51,790 --> 00:13:58,088
The point is, he's already tried
to destroy the Earth on two occasions.
153
00:14:02,471 --> 00:14:06,349
I'm sure you were getting to that.
154
00:14:06,270 --> 00:14:11,734
Yes, sir. A year ago, we discovered an
asteroid on a collision course with Earth.
155
00:14:11,591 --> 00:14:15,010
When you say "asteroid"
I assume you mean "spaceship".
156
00:14:14,950 --> 00:14:20,496
No, sir. Not this time.
We were fortunate to detect it at all.
157
00:14:20,349 --> 00:14:25,144
There'd have been no need for a cover
story. It would have wiped out all life.
158
00:14:26,908 --> 00:14:33,665
The asteroid had been deliberately set on
a collision course with Earth by Anubis.
159
00:14:34,389 --> 00:14:38,267
Fortunately we managed
to divert it in time.
160
00:14:41,707 --> 00:14:44,668
Carter, I can see my house.
161
00:14:44,626 --> 00:14:47,629
Engaging hyperdrive... now.
162
00:15:02,907 --> 00:15:08,369
I should point out once again,
gentlemen, that it was SG-1 who saved us.
163
00:15:08,225 --> 00:15:10,269
Are we expecting another attack?
164
00:15:10,264 --> 00:15:13,559
Anubis is consolidating his
position amongst the system lords,
165
00:15:13,504 --> 00:15:16,091
but in time he will
turn his attention back to Earth.
166
00:15:16,065 --> 00:15:21,903
The nations represented here make up
the bulk of this planet's military capacity.
167
00:15:21,744 --> 00:15:28,625
Our chances for successful resistance
would be improved if we work together.
168
00:15:28,423 --> 00:15:32,594
This would require an unprecedented
level of military cooperation,
169
00:15:32,504 --> 00:15:37,676
as well as a commitment from all of you
to maintain absolute secrecy.
170
00:15:37,543 --> 00:15:40,963
I'm afraid that may be impossible.
171
00:15:40,903 --> 00:15:45,740
If we are facing invasion then we must
warn our people so they can prepare.
172
00:15:45,621 --> 00:15:50,793
Ambassador, we feel that coming forward
now would result in widespread panic.
173
00:15:50,661 --> 00:15:55,582
As opposed to the panic that will result
when aliens march through our streets?
174
00:15:55,461 --> 00:16:01,133
The government of China does not believe
in keeping secrets from its people.
175
00:16:00,980 --> 00:16:05,653
We may have no choice
but to release this information.
176
00:16:19,619 --> 00:16:22,580
We're talking about
a full- scale attack from space.
177
00:16:22,538 --> 00:16:25,082
I'm afraid people are going to notice.
178
00:16:25,058 --> 00:16:27,144
We're hoping it won't come to that.
179
00:16:27,139 --> 00:16:32,102
As you now know, Stargate Command has
dealt with several threats to this planet
180
00:16:31,979 --> 00:16:34,565
without divulging
information to the public.
181
00:16:34,538 --> 00:16:37,667
You've been lucky and you know it.
182
00:16:37,618 --> 00:16:41,745
We also have damn good people.
We've given as good as we've got.
183
00:16:41,658 --> 00:16:45,953
On one occasion we managed
to wipe out an entire fleet of motherships.
184
00:16:45,857 --> 00:16:49,695
- This SG-1, I assume?
- That's right.
185
00:16:54,456 --> 00:16:57,043
Engaging force field.
186
00:17:02,056 --> 00:17:04,557
- Something wrong?
- No.
187
00:17:06,414 --> 00:17:09,710
I've just never blown up a star before.
188
00:17:10,095 --> 00:17:14,767
Well, they say
the first one's always the hardest.
189
00:17:15,894 --> 00:17:18,771
They say that.
190
00:17:20,294 --> 00:17:22,796
Opening cargo bay doors.
191
00:17:25,894 --> 00:17:27,980
Releasing the clamps.
192
00:17:35,453 --> 00:17:37,747
And the gate is away.
193
00:18:05,490 --> 00:18:07,868
A significant achievement,
194
00:18:07,851 --> 00:18:10,938
but the circumstances
would be difficult to duplicate.
195
00:18:10,891 --> 00:18:16,729
For all their advanced technology,
the Goa'uld have a fatal flaw. Arrogance.
196
00:18:16,569 --> 00:18:20,531
We've taken advantage of the fact
that they don't perceive us to be a threat.
197
00:18:20,449 --> 00:18:23,411
Clearly that's no longer the case.
198
00:18:24,288 --> 00:18:26,583
The point is, they're not invincible.
199
00:18:26,569 --> 00:18:31,157
Our technology may be inferior,
but it is effective.
200
00:18:37,728 --> 00:18:41,190
- Target Sierra One has been acquired.
- Missile away.
201
00:18:59,047 --> 00:19:02,049
Sierra One has been destroyed.
202
00:19:02,006 --> 00:19:07,428
Very impressive. But nothing on Earth
could go up against these motherships.
203
00:19:07,286 --> 00:19:09,829
Mr Ambassador, our primary mission
204
00:19:09,805 --> 00:19:13,558
has been to obtain technology
capable of defending this planet.
205
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:15,862
And we've made significant progress.
206
00:19:15,844 --> 00:19:20,891
We've made progress.
The jury's still out on "significant".
207
00:19:21,125 --> 00:19:23,669
Since the Stargate has been in operation
208
00:19:23,644 --> 00:19:26,564
we've acquired knowledge
of alien technologies.
209
00:19:26,525 --> 00:19:29,193
We've tried to adapt them to our uses.
210
00:19:29,163 --> 00:19:35,461
Towards that end, two years ago we
developed a fighter- interceptor, the X- 301.
211
00:19:37,084 --> 00:19:41,837
It combined human technology and
parts from two salvaged Death Gliders.
212
00:19:41,722 --> 00:19:44,767
The prototype failed
to live up to expectation.
213
00:19:49,403 --> 00:19:51,572
Beginning attack run now.
214
00:19:59,682 --> 00:20:03,059
- I am no longer in control, O'Neill.
- Excuse me?
215
00:20:03,001 --> 00:20:07,381
The craft is not accepting input from
the controls. The drive is at full power.
216
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,895
- This is an emergency.
- The ejection system has malfunctioned.
217
00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:17,886
We are no longer in control. I repeat,
we have lost control and cannot eject.
218
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,933
After the failure of the X- 301
219
00:20:22,919 --> 00:20:27,590
we concentrated on creating an entirely
man- made craft with similar abilities.
220
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,191
The result was the X- 302.
221
00:20:40,077 --> 00:20:43,080
- Navigation?
- Check.
222
00:20:43,038 --> 00:20:47,751
- Oxygen, pressure, temperature control?
- All check.
223
00:20:47,637 --> 00:20:50,640
Inertial dampeners?
224
00:20:52,876 --> 00:20:55,505
Cool... and check.
225
00:20:56,317 --> 00:20:59,778
- Engines?
- All check.
226
00:20:59,717 --> 00:21:02,595
- Phasers?
- Sorry, sir.
227
00:21:02,556 --> 00:21:07,978
Systems operational. Mission Command,
all systems go from Abydos One.
228
00:21:20,555 --> 00:21:24,017
Do you mean to tell me
that the United States Air Force
229
00:21:23,953 --> 00:21:29,959
is flying a fighter- interceptor capable
of both aerial combat and space flight?
230
00:21:29,794 --> 00:21:32,587
That's correct.
231
00:21:32,554 --> 00:21:35,140
This... is unacceptable!
232
00:21:35,114 --> 00:21:37,365
Mr Ambassador,
I understand how you feel...
233
00:21:37,354 --> 00:21:41,566
With all due respect, General,
I don't think you do.
234
00:21:41,473 --> 00:21:44,518
Your government has operated
this Stargate for six years,
235
00:21:44,472 --> 00:21:48,101
supposedly for the benefit of all mankind.
236
00:21:48,031 --> 00:21:51,618
Yet now we find out you've been
taking advantage of the situation
237
00:21:51,551 --> 00:21:56,766
to create military hardware that radically
alters the balance of power on this planet.
238
00:21:56,632 --> 00:21:59,551
The X- 302 was designed
to defend against the Goa'uld.
239
00:21:59,511 --> 00:22:03,016
We have no intention
of using it against our neighbours.
240
00:22:02,951 --> 00:22:05,203
And for that we have only your word.
241
00:22:05,192 --> 00:22:08,903
The United States has had
such capabilities for some time,
242
00:22:08,829 --> 00:22:10,915
but have not used them on other nations.
243
00:22:10,910 --> 00:22:15,998
Are there any other new technologies
that we need to know about?
244
00:22:15,871 --> 00:22:21,917
Might as well tell them, General.
They're gonna find out sooner or later.
245
00:22:23,670 --> 00:22:30,009
Since we encountered a mothership we
have been working on a countermeasure.
246
00:23:01,307 --> 00:23:06,436
Prometheus was designed to carry
a complement of eight X- 302 fighters,
247
00:23:06,305 --> 00:23:08,390
and is one of several planned.
248
00:23:09,105 --> 00:23:11,566
I must contact my government
immediately.
249
00:23:11,546 --> 00:23:17,301
Mr Ambassador, we volunteered this
information in a spirit of cooperation.
250
00:23:17,144 --> 00:23:21,191
We're trying to create a coalition
to defend the entire world.
251
00:23:21,105 --> 00:23:24,442
- Under your leadership.
- We have the experience.
252
00:23:24,384 --> 00:23:28,762
I'm sorry, General, but it may be
impossible to achieve an agreement
253
00:23:28,663 --> 00:23:32,209
as long as the Stargate
and any resultant technologies
254
00:23:32,144 --> 00:23:36,815
remain solely under the control
of the United States military.
255
00:23:36,703 --> 00:23:41,084
- What do you suggest?
- Move the gate to a neutral location
256
00:23:40,982 --> 00:23:44,986
and create a permanent staff
drawn from all five nations.
257
00:23:44,903 --> 00:23:50,074
- I'm afraid we can't agree to that.
- The choice may finally not be up to you.
258
00:23:49,942 --> 00:23:53,822
Once the rest of the world learns
of the Stargate, they may well demand it.
259
00:23:53,741 --> 00:23:55,827
We support the United States.
260
00:23:55,822 --> 00:23:58,825
And what are you getting
in exchange for this support?
261
00:23:58,781 --> 00:24:03,536
Gentlemen, please. Perhaps
I can offer a compromise. Please?
262
00:24:12,980 --> 00:24:17,567
I sympathise
with the ambassador's position.
263
00:24:17,461 --> 00:24:24,342
A device as powerful as the Stargate
in the hands of a military organisation...
264
00:24:24,140 --> 00:24:30,104
It's a recipe for abuse,
despite everyone's best intentions.
265
00:24:33,259 --> 00:24:38,931
- What are you suggesting?
- We have a civilian agency called the NID.
266
00:24:38,778 --> 00:24:45,409
Its mandate has been to keep an eye
on top- secret projects like the Stargate,
267
00:24:45,218 --> 00:24:48,096
and has done so from the beginning.
268
00:24:48,057 --> 00:24:54,815
I propose that we give this organisation
direct control of the gate,
269
00:24:54,616 --> 00:24:57,036
effective immediately.
270
00:24:57,017 --> 00:24:59,102
You can't be serious.
271
00:24:59,096 --> 00:25:04,726
I'm completely serious. The NID is the
only organisation besides the air force
272
00:25:04,576 --> 00:25:09,748
that has the knowledge, experience
and skill to run the Stargate.
273
00:25:09,615 --> 00:25:12,410
- They tried to kill you, Senator.
- Now, now, Major.
274
00:25:12,375 --> 00:25:16,422
Those were rogue agents
working for outside interests.
275
00:25:16,336 --> 00:25:21,089
Under the NID, I'm sure we can determine
a suitable level of participation
276
00:25:20,974 --> 00:25:25,395
for all the great nations
represented here at this table.
277
00:25:25,295 --> 00:25:27,547
Senator, could we speak in private?
278
00:25:27,534 --> 00:25:33,248
I find your reluctance to relinquish
military control of the gate disturbing.
279
00:25:33,094 --> 00:25:37,890
You'd do a lot better to trust the US
Air Force than the NID, Mr Ambassador.
280
00:25:37,773 --> 00:25:42,486
The General has an understandable
personal prejudice against the NID.
281
00:25:42,373 --> 00:25:45,960
Personal prejudice? Senator,
their record speaks for itself.
282
00:25:45,893 --> 00:25:49,730
I've never met anyone who liked
doing what they do more than you.
283
00:25:49,653 --> 00:25:52,155
You were good at it. Great.
284
00:25:53,093 --> 00:25:58,265
You'll never convince me
you just got fed up. I'll never buy that.
285
00:25:58,132 --> 00:26:00,299
You don't understand.
286
00:26:00,290 --> 00:26:03,670
And I won't unless you explain it to me.
287
00:26:05,451 --> 00:26:10,079
Two weeks ago I was contacted
by a representative of the NID.
288
00:26:09,971 --> 00:26:14,017
He suggested I should become
more aggressive in my policies.
289
00:26:13,931 --> 00:26:15,557
They've no jurisdiction.
290
00:26:15,570 --> 00:26:18,823
They wanted me to help them
access off- world technology,
291
00:26:18,769 --> 00:26:22,565
which they're unable to do since we shut
down their side operation.
292
00:26:22,490 --> 00:26:25,201
- You told him to go to hell.
- Of course.
293
00:26:25,169 --> 00:26:30,132
Then he told me that if I didn't cooperate
there would be consequences.
294
00:26:30,009 --> 00:26:35,973
The next day two men in plain clothes,
driving a black unmarked car,
295
00:26:35,809 --> 00:26:39,019
picked up my granddaughters at school.
296
00:26:38,968 --> 00:26:41,554
- I don't believe it.
- They took them for a ride,
297
00:26:41,528 --> 00:26:46,075
then brought them home.
The girls were fine, but I got the message.
298
00:26:47,728 --> 00:26:50,730
We're talking about
a borderline- criminal organisation
299
00:26:50,688 --> 00:26:55,483
whose true mandate has always been
to acquire alien technology at any cost.
300
00:26:55,366 --> 00:27:01,038
If the threat posed by this Anubis
is as serious as you say,
301
00:27:00,886 --> 00:27:04,390
acquiring alien technology
should be our first priority.
302
00:27:04,326 --> 00:27:08,247
Tell that to the Madronans. The NID
stole a weather device from their planet,
303
00:27:08,166 --> 00:27:10,335
destabilising their atmosphere.
304
00:27:10,326 --> 00:27:14,329
They'd have died if SG-1 hadn't found
the culprits and retrieved the device.
305
00:27:22,923 --> 00:27:26,426
Stand to, gentlemen!
306
00:27:26,365 --> 00:27:29,326
Keep those hands visible.
307
00:27:31,723 --> 00:27:34,101
- Who the hell are you?
- No one's damn business.
308
00:27:34,085 --> 00:27:36,795
Step away from the crate.
309
00:28:07,001 --> 00:28:08,502
Stop!
310
00:28:20,559 --> 00:28:22,436
Don't do it!
311
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:29,451
Ah!
312
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,067
What?
313
00:28:34,078 --> 00:28:36,874
I missed the address.
314
00:28:44,758 --> 00:28:47,260
At least we have this.
315
00:28:48,317 --> 00:28:53,447
After we shut down their operation they
continued to steal from an off- world base.
316
00:28:53,317 --> 00:28:56,987
But they stole from the wrong aliens.
317
00:29:01,076 --> 00:29:02,952
What are they doing?
318
00:29:02,957 --> 00:29:06,251
Taking back
what's rightfully theirs, I guess.
319
00:29:06,195 --> 00:29:09,907
Listen up, all of you.
You've got two choices here.
320
00:29:09,836 --> 00:29:13,338
As soon as they stop taking stuff,
they'll start taking people.
321
00:29:13,275 --> 00:29:15,903
Now, you can go with the Asgard,
322
00:29:15,875 --> 00:29:18,920
or you can follow me. It's your choice.
323
00:29:18,875 --> 00:29:24,088
I'll be holding the door open
so you can't go anywhere else.
324
00:29:46,074 --> 00:29:49,952
Granted, the NID employed some
questionable methods in the past.
325
00:29:49,874 --> 00:29:53,500
But we're all agreed
the status quo won't do.
326
00:29:54,271 --> 00:29:58,067
And I would hesitate to point fingers,
General Hammond.
327
00:29:57,991 --> 00:30:03,664
That you and Jack O'Neill are still
in charge of the Stargate programme...
328
00:30:03,511 --> 00:30:08,182
- If you're questioning our record...
- I'm questioning your competence.
329
00:30:08,071 --> 00:30:14,201
But, if you want to look at your records
in the company of these fine gentlemen...
330
00:30:14,029 --> 00:30:15,699
that's just fine.
331
00:30:15,711 --> 00:30:21,884
These reports detail incidents in which
the operation of the Stargate programme
332
00:30:21,710 --> 00:30:27,758
has brought this planet to the brink
of destruction. For example...
333
00:30:29,469 --> 00:30:34,807
four years ago, despite indications of
extreme danger, you opened a wormhole
334
00:30:34,669 --> 00:30:38,923
to a planet that was in the process
of being destroyed by a black hole.
335
00:30:38,828 --> 00:30:40,497
That was unforeseeable.
336
00:30:40,509 --> 00:30:44,305
Gravitational and time distortions
were translated through the gate,
337
00:30:44,229 --> 00:30:47,191
which you had been unable to disengage.
338
00:30:47,147 --> 00:30:52,193
And the Earth came within
a hair's breadth of being torn apart.
339
00:30:52,067 --> 00:30:58,324
We did shut down the gate by directing an
explosive device through the wormhole.
340
00:30:58,147 --> 00:31:02,818
And I believe it was Jack O'Neill
who risked his life to pull it off.
341
00:31:08,026 --> 00:31:10,528
Teal'c, pull him up!
342
00:31:42,423 --> 00:31:46,135
What else
do we have here? Ah, yes.
343
00:31:46,063 --> 00:31:48,316
Isn't it true that
while under your command
344
00:31:48,301 --> 00:31:53,182
the Stargate facility has been
completely overrun by alien life forms?
345
00:32:06,619 --> 00:32:08,288
Get out of there!
346
00:32:31,299 --> 00:32:36,054
We've set the self- destruct. You have less
than five minutes to tell us to override.
347
00:32:36,499 --> 00:32:38,166
Roger that!
348
00:32:53,938 --> 00:32:55,815
Now.
349
00:32:59,538 --> 00:33:02,164
Close that iris.
350
00:33:02,137 --> 00:33:04,556
It's overridden.
I'm shutting down the gate.
351
00:33:21,895 --> 00:33:25,230
The situation was successfully contained.
352
00:33:25,174 --> 00:33:28,510
The situation should never have arisen.
353
00:33:28,454 --> 00:33:31,415
Not if you had been doing your job.
354
00:33:33,253 --> 00:33:38,759
And these incidents
are just the tip of the iceberg.
355
00:33:40,214 --> 00:33:42,383
Face it, General. Under your command,
356
00:33:42,373 --> 00:33:46,711
the Stargate programme
has lurched from one crisis to the next,
357
00:33:46,613 --> 00:33:51,951
never averting disaster by
anything more than the skin of its teeth.
358
00:33:51,814 --> 00:33:57,318
We can't afford
to let you roll the dice any longer.
359
00:34:08,012 --> 00:34:10,764
Would you excuse us, please?
360
00:34:10,731 --> 00:34:15,777
Made a few calls. Kinsey's moving from
Appropriations to Intelligence Oversight.
361
00:34:15,652 --> 00:34:18,445
Which would give him
direct power over the NID.
362
00:34:18,411 --> 00:34:23,414
He's manipulated this whole situation
to gain control of the Stargate.
363
00:34:24,210 --> 00:34:27,338
I may have my own ace up my sleeve.
364
00:34:28,690 --> 00:34:32,277
I understand your feelings,
Mr Ambassador, believe me.
365
00:34:32,210 --> 00:34:36,965
We're junior partners in the Stargate,
following the lead of the Americans.
366
00:34:36,849 --> 00:34:41,101
The Chinese government will not accept
a secondary position so graciously.
367
00:34:41,009 --> 00:34:46,806
There are advantages. The programme
costs them seven billion dollars a year.
368
00:34:46,648 --> 00:34:50,108
- They reap the benefits.
- The X- 303?
369
00:34:50,047 --> 00:34:54,302
Research and development of the
hyperdrive alone has cost two billion.
370
00:34:54,208 --> 00:34:56,335
And it still doesn't function properly.
371
00:34:56,327 --> 00:35:02,583
They will spend more money and risk the
lives of their people perfecting the design.
372
00:35:02,407 --> 00:35:08,036
Then we'll get the blueprints and build
our own ship in less time for half the cost.
373
00:35:07,887 --> 00:35:14,768
Once again, I apologise, gentlemen. It
seems a politician's work is never done.
374
00:35:15,447 --> 00:35:19,407
You could have the same deal.
375
00:35:29,405 --> 00:35:32,532
Now, where were we?
376
00:35:33,724 --> 00:35:37,103
Gentlemen, I realise we're in
no position to make demands here.
377
00:35:37,045 --> 00:35:39,505
We're trying to reach a consensus.
378
00:35:39,483 --> 00:35:42,820
But before you go to your leaders
and make recommendations,
379
00:35:42,764 --> 00:35:45,016
I want you to consider something.
380
00:35:45,003 --> 00:35:50,925
Whoever runs the Stargate will represent
this planet throughout the galaxy.
381
00:35:50,762 --> 00:35:57,351
They will be ambassadors, meeting other
races, establishing ties with other worlds.
382
00:35:57,163 --> 00:36:03,126
It is true that in the six years we've
run the Stargate we've made enemies.
383
00:36:03,882 --> 00:36:06,969
But we've also made friends.
384
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,884
I believe we've
acquitted ourselves with honour.
385
00:36:10,802 --> 00:36:14,347
On that score, I stand by the record.
386
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,922
This is the Asgard planet Othala
in the galaxy of Ida.
387
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,239
Why did I come here?
388
00:36:38,639 --> 00:36:42,559
The ancients moved on
from our region of space long ago.
389
00:36:42,478 --> 00:36:45,898
But your subconscious mind
used their knowledge to find us here,
390
00:36:45,838 --> 00:36:48,215
where you could get help.
391
00:36:48,197 --> 00:36:53,036
- Very impressive.
- Well, you know...
392
00:36:52,918 --> 00:36:57,130
We did not think your brains
had advanced even that far.
393
00:36:57,036 --> 00:37:02,458
How is it you know
so much about our brains?
394
00:37:03,077 --> 00:37:05,913
We have studied your race closely.
395
00:37:06,797 --> 00:37:08,675
Ah.
396
00:37:12,916 --> 00:37:18,547
- What did you learn?
- That your species has great potential.
397
00:37:19,875 --> 00:37:21,960
Great potential.
398
00:37:22,835 --> 00:37:25,380
That's good.
399
00:37:43,875 --> 00:37:46,251
You make an interesting case, General.
400
00:37:46,233 --> 00:37:49,612
However, I'm afraid I must
take this matter to my government
401
00:37:49,554 --> 00:37:52,972
and recommend
full disclosure to our people.
402
00:37:52,913 --> 00:37:59,335
I must do the same, though I will admit
Senator Kinsey's proposal is interesting.
403
00:37:59,913 --> 00:38:02,414
Thank you, Mr Ambassador.
404
00:38:18,110 --> 00:38:19,737
Hello...?
405
00:38:19,751 --> 00:38:25,590
Hello. I am Thor,
Supreme Commander of the Asgard fleet.
406
00:38:25,431 --> 00:38:29,476
- Thank you for coming, Thor.
- It is my pleasure, General Hammond.
407
00:38:29,391 --> 00:38:32,309
The Asgard are in your debt.
408
00:38:32,269 --> 00:38:33,436
"Your debt"?
409
00:38:33,469 --> 00:38:36,764
SG-1, under the command
of General Hammond,
410
00:38:36,708 --> 00:38:40,838
has saved my people and yours
on many occasions.
411
00:38:40,748 --> 00:38:45,420
We are not only allies against the Goa'uld,
we are true friends.
412
00:38:46,309 --> 00:38:48,853
Commander Thor, my name is...
413
00:38:48,829 --> 00:38:51,246
Senator Kinsey.
414
00:38:51,228 --> 00:38:56,275
O'Neill suggested I send you
to a distant planet for your actions here.
415
00:38:56,148 --> 00:38:59,317
But I am reasonably certain
his statement was in jest.
416
00:38:59,268 --> 00:39:04,273
- I'm sure it was, Commander...
- Supreme Commander.
417
00:39:04,146 --> 00:39:08,150
It is the opinion of the Asgard High
Council that Stargate Command
418
00:39:08,068 --> 00:39:13,739
should be left in the very capable hands
of General Hammond and his team.
419
00:39:13,585 --> 00:39:17,715
And while our continued friendship
with Earth is not contingent on that,
420
00:39:17,626 --> 00:39:20,211
it is preferred.
421
00:39:24,545 --> 00:39:27,632
You came all this way just to tell us that?
422
00:39:28,425 --> 00:39:33,554
And to install Asgard- designed
shields and weapons on Prometheus.
423
00:39:33,425 --> 00:39:36,760
A small token of thanks
for SG-1's recent efforts
424
00:39:36,704 --> 00:39:41,751
in securing our galaxy and yours
from certain destruction.
425
00:39:41,623 --> 00:39:42,458
I see.
426
00:39:42,505 --> 00:39:45,673
I hope I have been successful
in convincing you.
427
00:39:45,623 --> 00:39:50,043
- Good day, General Hammond.
- Always a pleasure, Thor.
428
00:39:49,943 --> 00:39:52,695
Please drop in any time.
429
00:39:55,782 --> 00:39:57,451
Well...
430
00:39:58,262 --> 00:40:02,599
that settles it, then.
You have our support, General.
431
00:40:02,503 --> 00:40:06,422
- Thank you, Ambassador.
- Ours as well.
432
00:40:06,742 --> 00:40:09,369
And the continued support of Russia.
433
00:40:09,342 --> 00:40:12,637
It's much appreciated, sir.
434
00:40:14,221 --> 00:40:17,891
While I still have my reservations,
435
00:40:17,820 --> 00:40:22,826
I believe my government will agree
that, for the time being,
436
00:40:22,699 --> 00:40:25,829
the Stargate is in the right hands.
437
00:40:27,699 --> 00:40:29,577
Senator?
438
00:40:31,699 --> 00:40:34,286
I'll say this, General.
439
00:40:36,500 --> 00:40:38,168
Well played.
