1
00:00:16,683 --> 00:00:18,644
OK.

2
00:00:18,727 --> 00:00:21,063
What was that?

3
00:00:21,188 --> 00:00:23,232
Carter?

4
00:00:23,899 --> 00:00:27,528
I don't know, sir. The margin of error
in calculating planetary shift

5
00:00:27,653 --> 00:00:30,572
used to cause the rough ride,
but we fixed it.

6
00:00:31,615 --> 00:00:33,325
Carter.

7
00:00:33,450 --> 00:00:37,371
We did have to override some of the
dialling protocols in order to get a lock.

8
00:00:37,496 --> 00:00:40,958
I'll check the dialling computer
when we get home.

9
00:00:41,083 --> 00:00:43,293
- It's bright.
- Yes, sir.

10
00:00:43,418 --> 00:00:46,922
This planet's much closer
to its sun than Earth.

11
00:00:48,465 --> 00:00:50,509
Festive.

12
00:00:51,301 --> 00:00:53,428
This is interesting.

13
00:00:56,807 --> 00:01:00,352
I couldn't see these writings
through the MALP.

14
00:01:00,477 --> 00:01:01,520
What's it say?

15
00:01:01,645 --> 00:01:03,772
The symbols are like those on Cimmeria.

16
00:01:03,897 --> 00:01:06,400
There could be a connection
here to the Asgard.

17
00:01:06,525 --> 00:01:09,027
- What's it say?
- I don't know.

18
00:01:09,862 --> 00:01:12,155
You think it's a protected planet?

19
00:01:12,281 --> 00:01:14,408
Well, Teal'c wasn't zapped away.

20
00:01:14,533 --> 00:01:16,618
There is no Thor's hammer here.

21
00:01:16,743 --> 00:01:21,290
Well, they wouldn't need one if it was
named in the Goa'uld- Asgard Treaty.

22
00:01:23,375 --> 00:01:25,419
Hey! You!

23
00:01:27,546 --> 00:01:29,590
Come on out.

24
00:01:30,549 --> 00:01:34,469
We're not here to hurt you.
We're explorers from a place called Earth.

25
00:01:34,595 --> 00:01:39,558
You might know it as Midgardr.
I'm Daniel Jackson. This is, uh...

26
00:01:39,683 --> 00:01:43,812
I am Elrad, flamen of
the 39th Order of K'Tau.

27
00:01:46,023 --> 00:01:49,193
My congregation and I were
on our way here for morning prayer

28
00:01:49,276 --> 00:01:53,197
when we saw a great wave
burst forth from the Annulus.

29
00:01:53,614 --> 00:01:56,617
Annulus. I like that.

30
00:01:57,034 --> 00:01:59,494
He is an enemy of the gods.

31
00:02:03,081 --> 00:02:06,502
Not any more. Thor loves this guy.

32
00:02:06,627 --> 00:02:09,546
- You know of Thor?
- Oh, yeah. He's a buddy.

33
00:02:12,758 --> 00:02:16,220
Come forth. It is a time for rejoicing.

34
00:02:16,345 --> 00:02:19,014
Freyr has sent us visitors from Midgardr.

35
00:02:19,389 --> 00:02:21,975
Freyr is the god of sun and rain, right?

36
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:25,521
Yes, our protector. Ally of Thor.

37
00:02:25,646 --> 00:02:28,482
Friends of the gods are welcome here.

38
00:02:29,024 --> 00:02:33,320
- What have you got here?
- Please, come. Our village is this way.

39
00:02:57,302 --> 00:03:00,305
It's as if Norse culture
evolved into modern times

40
00:03:00,389 --> 00:03:03,475
while continuing to worship
the ancient gods.

41
00:03:06,061 --> 00:03:09,898
This is Brother Malchus.
He is chief acolyte within our order.

42
00:03:10,023 --> 00:03:13,026
You must leave. At once.

43
00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:16,280
- We just got here.
- These are not just any strangers.

44
00:03:16,405 --> 00:03:18,699
They came through the Annulus.

45
00:03:18,824 --> 00:03:22,703
- This one bears the mark of evil.
- He is a friend of Thor.

46
00:03:23,954 --> 00:03:25,998
The people will not stand for this.

47
00:03:26,123 --> 00:03:30,669
You mean you will antagonise them
until they agree with you.

48
00:03:36,049 --> 00:03:38,093
Friendly guy.

49
00:03:39,887 --> 00:03:43,307
You must forgive Malchus.
He has a suspicious nature,

50
00:03:43,432 --> 00:03:46,268
and we have never before
been visited by elves.

51
00:03:48,645 --> 00:03:50,189
Elves?

52
00:03:51,690 --> 00:03:55,736
You travel by way of the gods.
You say you know them well.

53
00:03:55,819 --> 00:04:01,241
In Norse mythology, Freyr was the ruler of
the elves. They bring good or bad tidings.

54
00:04:01,366 --> 00:04:04,620
We certainly hope
you have come to wish us well.

55
00:04:24,848 --> 00:04:26,892
Carter, what just happened?

56
00:04:28,894 --> 00:04:30,854
The eye of Odin grows dim.

57
00:04:31,396 --> 00:04:36,485
- Some sort of shift in the light frequency.
- Good. I thought I was havin' a stroke.

58
00:04:36,610 --> 00:04:38,779
You did this!

59
00:04:38,904 --> 00:04:40,864
- What?
- Be calm.

60
00:04:40,948 --> 00:04:43,492
- Is it true?
- No.

61
00:04:43,617 --> 00:04:46,537
- Is it?
- I don't know, sir.

62
00:04:49,039 --> 00:04:53,252
It is no coincidence that this happens
moments after they arrive.

63
00:04:53,335 --> 00:04:56,338
The elves are the harbingers of our doom!

64
00:06:21,965 --> 00:06:23,675
Leave us or be driven out.

65
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:26,762
The darkening of the eye of Odin
is the will of the gods.

66
00:06:26,845 --> 00:06:29,097
You cannot blame the messengers.

67
00:06:29,223 --> 00:06:33,602
We must go to the hall of wisdom
and pray for forgiveness.

68
00:06:44,112 --> 00:06:49,076
That sounds like the place where
the Cimmerians communicated with Thor.

69
00:06:58,460 --> 00:07:01,630
Carter, what the heck's goin' on?

70
00:07:01,713 --> 00:07:05,467
Somehow the light spectrum of the sun
has shifted toward infrared.

71
00:07:05,592 --> 00:07:08,262
If it continues,
all the green plants will die.

72
00:07:08,387 --> 00:07:11,473
With the plants goes the oxygen supply...

73
00:07:11,598 --> 00:07:15,894
The MALP should give us more detailed
data. Its sensors are more sophisticated.

74
00:07:15,978 --> 00:07:19,481
Good. You and Teal'c
head back to the... Annulus.

75
00:07:20,023 --> 00:07:22,234
See what you can find out. Daniel.

76
00:07:22,359 --> 00:07:24,820
See if these folks
have got an Asgard phone.

77
00:07:26,154 --> 00:07:29,616
We beseech thee, O Freyr,
to have mercy upon us.

78
00:07:29,992 --> 00:07:33,829
Make peace with our great father Odin,
and, in doing so,

79
00:07:33,954 --> 00:07:38,083
remove the terrible curse
from our gentle land.

80
00:07:38,167 --> 00:07:41,086
In the name of our Lord Freyr, be it so.

81
00:07:42,588 --> 00:07:44,631
We...

82
00:07:52,347 --> 00:07:55,434
Sorry. Didn't mean to interrupt.

83
00:07:55,517 --> 00:07:59,229
- Haven't you done enough damage, elf?
- Some respect, Malchus.

84
00:07:59,354 --> 00:08:01,607
They are sent by the gods.

85
00:08:01,732 --> 00:08:03,901
We should hear their words.

86
00:08:04,026 --> 00:08:08,071
We were just wondering
if you ever speak directly to Freyr.

87
00:08:08,197 --> 00:08:10,949
He hears us always.

88
00:08:11,909 --> 00:08:16,371
Right. You mentioned a hall of wisdom.
This is it, isn't it?

89
00:08:16,663 --> 00:08:19,208
No. This is a temple.

90
00:08:19,333 --> 00:08:20,459
Right.

91
00:08:20,584 --> 00:08:23,003
Malchus and I were about to go to the hall

92
00:08:23,128 --> 00:08:25,881
to seek Freyr's wisdom
on behalf of our people.

93
00:08:25,964 --> 00:08:28,509
- Could we go with you?
- We could put in a good word.

94
00:08:28,634 --> 00:08:30,677
By all means, come.

95
00:08:42,856 --> 00:08:45,359
Bow your heads
and prepare to meet our Lord.

96
00:08:48,445 --> 00:08:52,157
Lord Freyr, Lord of the Aesir,
God of K'Tau,

97
00:08:52,866 --> 00:08:56,370
grant us an audience
that we may share your wisdom.

98
00:09:07,923 --> 00:09:09,967
I'd better get it back.

99
00:09:17,683 --> 00:09:21,562
I am Freyr. For what reason
have you come before me?

100
00:09:21,687 --> 00:09:26,400
OK. Lord Freyr, forgive us for disturbing
you, but we seek your wisdom.

101
00:09:26,525 --> 00:09:30,404
The arrival of these outsiders has
caused the eye of Odin to grow dim.

102
00:09:30,529 --> 00:09:34,116
- We fear it is Ragnarok.
- That's the end of time.

103
00:09:34,658 --> 00:09:35,826
Thank you.

104
00:09:35,951 --> 00:09:38,954
We beg you to restore Odin's light.

105
00:09:39,329 --> 00:09:42,332
You are wise to seek my counsel,

106
00:09:42,416 --> 00:09:46,170
but only through faith will you
prove worthy of my benevolence.

107
00:09:46,295 --> 00:09:50,966
Do we put them to death? They could be
drawn and quartered before nightfall.

108
00:09:51,091 --> 00:09:53,051
That's a bit harsh, isn't it?

109
00:09:53,177 --> 00:09:57,014
In time, I will sail to the plain of Vigrid,

110
00:09:57,139 --> 00:09:59,725
where my battle
will be fought with Surtur.

111
00:09:59,850 --> 00:10:03,478
- He fights Surtur. It is the end time.
- Patience.

112
00:10:04,479 --> 00:10:07,566
Likewise, you must face your own fears

113
00:10:07,649 --> 00:10:10,402
as you now enter the ultimate conflict.

114
00:10:10,485 --> 00:10:13,864
How you deal with fear
will prove your worthiness.

115
00:10:14,656 --> 00:10:17,117
I wish you well on your voyage.

116
00:10:25,792 --> 00:10:27,836
It's a recording.

117
00:10:28,795 --> 00:10:30,839
Really?

118
00:10:38,597 --> 00:10:41,058
I told you.

119
00:10:43,477 --> 00:10:48,982
It is Ragnarok. Lord Freyr
tells us to prepare for our death.

120
00:10:51,443 --> 00:10:54,696
That's a bit of a negative spin
with the old paraphrasing.

121
00:10:54,821 --> 00:10:58,617
I have been interpreting
the word of the gods for many years.

122
00:10:58,742 --> 00:11:01,411
I'm afraid I must agree with Malchus.

123
00:11:05,707 --> 00:11:07,417
Hang on.

124
00:11:08,460 --> 00:11:11,463
Look, I know I'm the outsider here...

125
00:11:11,588 --> 00:11:14,925
You dare question the will of the gods?

126
00:11:15,008 --> 00:11:17,511
No, just your interpretation.

127
00:11:19,513 --> 00:11:24,476
- Sure you wanna get into this?
- I'm not sure how to get out of this.

128
00:11:28,063 --> 00:11:30,399
Look, folks,

129
00:11:30,524 --> 00:11:34,194
does Freyr plant your crops for you?

130
00:11:34,319 --> 00:11:36,363
No.

131
00:11:37,322 --> 00:11:39,825
Does he harvest them?

132
00:11:39,950 --> 00:11:42,202
Does he build your homes for you?

133
00:11:42,327 --> 00:11:44,997
Those are the tasks of our own hands.

134
00:11:45,122 --> 00:11:50,043
Exactly. You've always had
free will before. Why not now?

135
00:11:50,836 --> 00:11:56,091
Maybe this ultimate conflict is just
a test of your... ingenuity and courage.

136
00:11:56,633 --> 00:11:58,760
Why do you tolerate this?

137
00:11:58,886 --> 00:12:01,221
- Jump in.
- I don't think this is a good idea.

138
00:12:01,346 --> 00:12:04,766
In the past, Lord Freyr
has always told us to face our fears

139
00:12:04,892 --> 00:12:07,644
and not interfere with
the ways of the gods.

140
00:12:07,728 --> 00:12:10,230
I agree, Malchus.
We must do the gods' will,

141
00:12:10,355 --> 00:12:12,941
but perhaps these strangers
are a part of their plan.

142
00:12:13,066 --> 00:12:17,446
Nonsense! They are
the harbingers of our doom!

143
00:12:19,323 --> 00:12:22,242
Elves cannot change the will of the gods.

144
00:12:36,924 --> 00:12:38,967
Elrad, listen to me.

145
00:12:39,885 --> 00:12:43,430
We can help your people.
We've been in this situation before.

146
00:12:43,555 --> 00:12:46,058
Trust me. We can work miracles.

147
00:12:46,183 --> 00:12:48,227
I trust in Freyr.

148
00:12:49,436 --> 00:12:54,399
If you are here to do his bidding,
either to doom us or to save us,

149
00:12:55,734 --> 00:12:57,778
then so be it.

150
00:13:03,283 --> 00:13:05,327
Miracles?

151
00:13:06,703 --> 00:13:10,624
Yeah. That's what it'll look like to them.

152
00:13:11,583 --> 00:13:17,005
- That's what what will look like to them?
- Whatever Carter comes up with.

153
00:13:24,555 --> 00:13:26,598
Hey, fellas.

154
00:13:28,725 --> 00:13:31,144
I got a theory, sir.

155
00:13:31,270 --> 00:13:33,313
Is it miraculous?

156
00:13:34,356 --> 00:13:37,693
Actually, it is. I think the wormhole
that we used to travel here

157
00:13:37,818 --> 00:13:40,571
passed directly through this planet's sun.

158
00:13:40,654 --> 00:13:43,824
That might be why we had
a problem dialling here.

159
00:13:43,907 --> 00:13:45,868
We should never have connected?

160
00:13:45,951 --> 00:13:49,121
At least not with the current
planetary alignment.

161
00:13:49,246 --> 00:13:53,542
The light from the sun suddenly shifted
to the red spectrum after we got here.

162
00:13:53,667 --> 00:13:58,589
The only way that could happen
was if an unstable superheavy element,

163
00:13:58,714 --> 00:14:03,177
probably plutonium, was introduced
to the sun's nuclear reaction.

164
00:14:03,260 --> 00:14:07,014
- Sort of a subatomic poisoning.
- OK. How did we do that?

165
00:14:07,139 --> 00:14:09,183
Well, somehow,

166
00:14:09,308 --> 00:14:13,270
the plutonium piggybacked onto
our wormhole from another star system,

167
00:14:13,395 --> 00:14:16,481
then bonded with their sun
as we passed through it.

168
00:14:16,565 --> 00:14:19,067
I hope that doesn't mean it's our fault.

169
00:14:19,193 --> 00:14:21,570
We could not have known, O'Neill.

170
00:14:21,695 --> 00:14:24,239
The fact that the gate wouldn't dial here

171
00:14:24,364 --> 00:14:28,202
leads me to believe that some safety
protocol was built into the gate system,

172
00:14:28,327 --> 00:14:30,662
designed to prevent this sort of thing.

173
00:14:30,787 --> 00:14:33,207
So, design flaw?

174
00:14:34,291 --> 00:14:36,001
No.

175
00:14:36,126 --> 00:14:40,088
Sir, we bypassed some of
the normal dialling protocols.

176
00:14:40,214 --> 00:14:44,051
The fact is, this planet is dying
and it's probably because of us.

177
00:14:44,176 --> 00:14:46,178
But you can fix it, right?

178
00:15:10,744 --> 00:15:13,121
Hey, Teal'c. Maybe you should
hang out here.

179
00:15:13,247 --> 00:15:16,333
These Asgard devices
don't know you like we do.

180
00:15:35,686 --> 00:15:39,356
OK, let's see. They bowed
their heads and said a prayer.

181
00:15:39,481 --> 00:15:43,861
Lord Freyr, Lord of the Aesir...
Or we could just go straight to that.

182
00:15:53,036 --> 00:15:56,957
I am Freyr. For what reason
have you come before me?

183
00:15:58,083 --> 00:16:02,212
We'd like to talk to the real Asgard.
Thor, if he's available.

184
00:16:02,337 --> 00:16:04,840
You are wise to seek my counsel.

185
00:16:04,965 --> 00:16:08,886
But only through faith will you
prove worthy of my benevolence.

186
00:16:09,011 --> 00:16:12,389
Yada- yada. Carter, you wanna
pull the plug on this guy?

187
00:16:12,514 --> 00:16:16,268
It looks like this is the emitter
that's generating the...

188
00:16:22,357 --> 00:16:25,444
We've either made contact
with the Asgard or...

189
00:16:25,569 --> 00:16:29,072
trapped ourselves deep
within a vault of solid rock.

190
00:16:32,576 --> 00:16:37,539
- Much better.
- I am Freyr, protector of the K'Tau world.

191
00:16:39,249 --> 00:16:43,086
Yeah, so listen, sorry to bother you.
Can we talk to Thor?

192
00:16:43,587 --> 00:16:48,425
Commander Thor is in a distant part
of the galaxy and unavailable.

193
00:16:48,550 --> 00:16:51,011
You are the one called O'Neill.

194
00:16:51,887 --> 00:16:53,347
I am the one.

195
00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:57,392
We named a warship after you,
short- lived as it was.

196
00:16:59,728 --> 00:17:01,188
Yes. That one.

197
00:17:01,313 --> 00:17:04,066
Why have you come to this world?

198
00:17:04,149 --> 00:17:06,235
Exploring. That's what we do.

199
00:17:06,777 --> 00:17:11,073
K'Tau falls under our protected planet
treaty with the Goa'uld.

200
00:17:11,198 --> 00:17:15,077
I would hope you have not dispelled
their current belief system.

201
00:17:15,202 --> 00:17:19,957
- The Asgard felt it was essential.
- No, we haven't blown your cover.

202
00:17:21,416 --> 00:17:27,256
However, we... do have
a small little problem

203
00:17:27,381 --> 00:17:30,300
that could use some of
that Asgard magic.

204
00:17:30,425 --> 00:17:34,555
Are you implying that our technology
is some kind of trickery?

205
00:17:37,015 --> 00:17:41,228
- You sure Thor's not around somewhere?
- Sir, if I may.

206
00:17:41,311 --> 00:17:43,981
Yeah. Knock yourself out.

207
00:17:46,525 --> 00:17:49,278
We may have inadvertently,
totally accidentally,

208
00:17:49,403 --> 00:17:52,739
caused a foreign element
to enter the K'Tau sun.

209
00:17:53,490 --> 00:17:54,658
How?

210
00:17:54,783 --> 00:17:57,786
Well, actually, I was hoping
you could help us on that one.

211
00:17:57,911 --> 00:18:00,831
Is it possible that
we picked up a superheavy element

212
00:18:00,914 --> 00:18:03,584
and carried it into the sun
as we passed through?

213
00:18:03,709 --> 00:18:07,296
There are safety protocols
in place within the Stargate system

214
00:18:07,421 --> 00:18:12,050
to prevent wormhole connections
that would result in such events.

215
00:18:12,176 --> 00:18:15,345
Yeah. See, we have
our own dialling computer

216
00:18:15,429 --> 00:18:19,183
and sometimes we bypass
a few steps in order to get a lock.

217
00:18:20,392 --> 00:18:23,061
- We're still experimenting.
- I see.

218
00:18:23,896 --> 00:18:28,525
- We could really use your help here.
- I'm afraid I cannot assist you.

219
00:18:29,735 --> 00:18:30,903
Why not?

220
00:18:31,028 --> 00:18:35,574
It is not the Asgard's responsibility
to undo every error you make

221
00:18:35,699 --> 00:18:38,619
with technology that is advanced
beyond your knowledge.

222
00:18:38,702 --> 00:18:40,829
Excuse me!

223
00:18:41,288 --> 00:18:45,167
There is a whole planet
full of people that are going to die.

224
00:18:46,084 --> 00:18:49,421
This may be our mistake,
but the K'Tau people depend on you.

225
00:18:49,546 --> 00:18:53,592
You set up their belief system. They think
you're their god and will protect them.

226
00:18:53,717 --> 00:18:55,969
From the Goa'uld, yes.

227
00:18:56,094 --> 00:18:59,014
Forget all that! Come on, we're friends.

228
00:18:59,097 --> 00:19:03,227
We help you, you help us.
That's the way it works.

229
00:19:03,310 --> 00:19:06,146
Carter's idea saved you
from the replicators.

230
00:19:07,523 --> 00:19:09,942
Now we're calling in the marker.

231
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,946
Ultimately, the decision is not mine.

232
00:19:16,573 --> 00:19:19,660
Then may I speak to whomever decides?

233
00:19:20,661 --> 00:19:22,704
It is possible.

234
00:19:22,830 --> 00:19:25,833
Prepare to meet the Asgard High Council.

235
00:19:25,916 --> 00:19:28,377
I'm prepared. Right now. Let's go.

236
00:19:30,379 --> 00:19:32,589
Step into the place where I stand.

237
00:19:38,512 --> 00:19:40,597
- I'm sort of prepared.
- Do you want me...?

238
00:19:40,722 --> 00:19:42,766
I got it.

239
00:19:53,652 --> 00:19:55,696
Hello?

240
00:19:59,241 --> 00:20:01,285
Echo!

241
00:20:14,631 --> 00:20:19,553
Colonel Jack O'Neill of Earth, welcome
to the Asgard High Council chamber.

242
00:20:19,678 --> 00:20:23,015
Yeah, listen, thanks for
seeing me on such short notice.

243
00:20:23,140 --> 00:20:25,475
I assume you can see me.

244
00:20:26,018 --> 00:20:28,270
Yes.

245
00:20:28,812 --> 00:20:31,732
- Did Freyr mention why I'm here?
- Yes, Colonel.

246
00:20:31,815 --> 00:20:35,694
They're aware of the circumstances
surrounding your request.

247
00:20:35,819 --> 00:20:37,696
Oh, hey. There you are.

248
00:20:37,821 --> 00:20:41,158
Didn't see ya. You guys all kinda look...

249
00:20:46,121 --> 00:20:49,041
- Thor's not here, right?
- He is not.

250
00:20:49,917 --> 00:20:50,626
OK.

251
00:20:50,751 --> 00:20:56,089
As Freyr explained, we are unable
to assist you in this matter, O'Neill.

252
00:20:56,173 --> 00:21:01,762
Though your actions were unintentional,
it will mean the K'Tau people will perish.

253
00:21:01,887 --> 00:21:06,350
Hey! This is not entirely our fault.

254
00:21:06,475 --> 00:21:11,730
I mean, you could have warned us about
this crazy gate- through- the- sun thing.

255
00:21:11,855 --> 00:21:15,275
You could have given us a list
of all the planets that are off limits.

256
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,444
Both points are true.

257
00:21:17,569 --> 00:21:20,906
However, neither is reason
enough to interfere.

258
00:21:21,657 --> 00:21:24,034
You're interfering right now!

259
00:21:24,159 --> 00:21:26,662
These people think you're their gods!

260
00:21:26,787 --> 00:21:31,250
You're not the Goa'ulds, but you're still
pretending to be something you're not.

261
00:21:31,375 --> 00:21:33,335
You are correct.

262
00:21:33,460 --> 00:21:37,506
However, when we saved
these people from the Goa'uld,

263
00:21:37,631 --> 00:21:41,468
they were not ready to have
their beliefs completely stripped away.

264
00:21:41,593 --> 00:21:45,305
In time, when they are ready,
the K'Tau will learn the truth.

265
00:21:45,430 --> 00:21:49,017
Yeah, see... there's the snag.

266
00:21:49,935 --> 00:21:52,312
They won't. They'll be dead.

267
00:21:53,981 --> 00:21:57,442
I don't get it.
You obviously saved them once.

268
00:21:57,568 --> 00:21:59,611
Why not this time?

269
00:21:59,736 --> 00:22:02,739
- It is not that simple.
- Yes, it is!

270
00:22:02,823 --> 00:22:05,742
- You've got the technology, don't you?
- Yes.

271
00:22:05,868 --> 00:22:07,911
OK. Fine.

272
00:22:09,955 --> 00:22:14,334
We made a mistake, a big mistake.

273
00:22:14,418 --> 00:22:21,049
And we're very sorry. But we also saved
your little grey butts from the replicators,

274
00:22:21,175 --> 00:22:23,135
and now we want your help.

275
00:22:23,260 --> 00:22:26,597
I'm not asking you to change the course
of their cultural development.

276
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,016
Just fix the damn sun!

277
00:22:29,141 --> 00:22:33,187
No one'll know. We won't tell.

278
00:22:33,729 --> 00:22:36,481
Unfortunately, we cannot.

279
00:22:39,234 --> 00:22:45,616
OK. At the risk of sounding like
the petulant inferior race, why not?

280
00:22:53,874 --> 00:22:56,335
- "Little grey butts. "
- Yeah.

281
00:23:00,797 --> 00:23:04,510
It would be in violation
of our treaty with the Goa'uld.

282
00:23:05,719 --> 00:23:07,763
What?

283
00:23:08,430 --> 00:23:12,643
The treaty states that the people
of a planet categorised as "protected"

284
00:23:12,726 --> 00:23:15,562
will be free from Goa'uld domination.

285
00:23:15,646 --> 00:23:19,691
However, subsection 42 states
that the people on those planets

286
00:23:19,775 --> 00:23:24,613
cannot be artificially advanced
through Asgard technological means.

287
00:23:24,738 --> 00:23:30,160
Using our technology to prevent a natural
disaster would be a violation of that order

288
00:23:30,244 --> 00:23:32,746
and would nullify the treaty as a whole.

289
00:23:32,871 --> 00:23:37,626
The Goa'uld would be free to invade
any of the protected planets,

290
00:23:37,751 --> 00:23:40,212
including Earth.

291
00:23:41,213 --> 00:23:43,257
Oh.

292
00:23:44,633 --> 00:23:46,844
- You sure?
- Yes.

293
00:23:46,969 --> 00:23:51,181
The war with the replicators
wages on here in our galaxy.

294
00:23:51,306 --> 00:23:56,812
We do not have the forces to defend
every planet covered under the treaty.

295
00:23:56,937 --> 00:24:00,023
You would be vulnerable
to Goa'uld attack.

296
00:24:01,233 --> 00:24:05,863
OK. What if I were to say
we're willing to take the risk?

297
00:24:06,321 --> 00:24:10,200
Even if you could make that decision
on behalf of your planet,

298
00:24:10,325 --> 00:24:14,454
you cannot make it for every
other planet that would be affected.

299
00:24:14,580 --> 00:24:17,040
I suppose not.

300
00:24:18,333 --> 00:24:23,338
We are all greatly disturbed
that this disaster cannot be averted.

301
00:24:23,463 --> 00:24:26,133
We wish there was a way.

302
00:24:27,092 --> 00:24:31,054
Well, they're not dead yet. Maybe there is.

303
00:24:31,180 --> 00:24:35,100
If that is the case,
the solution will be up to you.

304
00:24:36,226 --> 00:24:37,936
Fine.

305
00:24:44,067 --> 00:24:46,111
That went well.

306
00:25:00,709 --> 00:25:04,838
- Sir, I've been thinking.
- I'd be shocked if you ever stopped.

307
00:25:06,298 --> 00:25:08,342
Here.

308
00:25:09,343 --> 00:25:10,719
OK.

309
00:25:13,597 --> 00:25:17,643
Let's say these are the unstable plutonium
molecules that are poisoning the sun.

310
00:25:17,768 --> 00:25:19,019
OK.

311
00:25:19,144 --> 00:25:22,981
What if these are molecules
of a more stable superheavy element?

312
00:25:23,106 --> 00:25:26,443
Say, something with
an atomic weight above 200.

313
00:25:26,527 --> 00:25:31,865
- Sure. I can think of a few.
- They don't occur in nature, not on Earth.

314
00:25:31,949 --> 00:25:36,161
But I've read about such elements being
created in supercolliders - in theory.

315
00:25:36,286 --> 00:25:39,122
You realise you're mixing
your apples and your...

316
00:25:39,206 --> 00:25:44,127
Now, if we could introduce these stable
superheavies into the K'Tau sun,

317
00:25:44,253 --> 00:25:47,798
they would bind with the plutonium
molecules, rendering them inert.

318
00:25:47,923 --> 00:25:51,844
The sun could then be restored
to its normal nuclear reaction.

319
00:25:51,969 --> 00:25:54,304
How about that?

320
00:25:54,429 --> 00:25:56,932
Well, this is all very theoretical, sir.

321
00:25:57,057 --> 00:25:59,309
I have great confidence in you, Carter.

322
00:25:59,434 --> 00:26:03,730
Go on back to the SGC and...
confuse Hammond.

323
00:26:04,815 --> 00:26:06,859
Yes, sir.

324
00:26:18,203 --> 00:26:19,037
A rocket?

325
00:26:19,163 --> 00:26:21,748
With a payload of
the superheavy element.

326
00:26:21,874 --> 00:26:25,419
We send it in stages through the Stargate
to K'Tau and assemble it there.

327
00:26:25,544 --> 00:26:28,630
When it's complete,
we launch it into their sun.

328
00:26:28,714 --> 00:26:30,424
Will it get there in time?

329
00:26:30,507 --> 00:26:34,887
We have three months before the
plutonium reaction becomes irreversible.

330
00:26:35,012 --> 00:26:37,931
If we can launch inside three weeks,
we'll just make it.

331
00:26:38,015 --> 00:26:39,808
Any other options?

332
00:26:39,933 --> 00:26:43,854
The other option turned out to be
a one- in- a- million shot, sir.

333
00:26:43,979 --> 00:26:47,566
The rocket gives us
better than 50- 50 odds.

334
00:26:47,691 --> 00:26:51,528
- Rockets don't exactly grow on trees.
- I know that, sir.

335
00:26:51,653 --> 00:26:55,407
However, the air force is currently
preparing a launch from Vandenberg.

336
00:26:55,532 --> 00:26:58,785
Do you realise how much
has been invested in that project?

337
00:26:58,869 --> 00:27:03,624
I'm aware of that, sir. It's hard
to put a price on the K'Tau people.

338
00:27:15,344 --> 00:27:17,387
Colonel.

339
00:27:18,013 --> 00:27:22,142
- Shouldn't you be off inciting a mob?
- Look at the sky.

340
00:27:22,267 --> 00:27:25,521
Ragnarok grows ever closer.
Your machine does nothing.

341
00:27:25,604 --> 00:27:27,314
It's a rocket.

342
00:27:27,397 --> 00:27:31,860
It won't work until we launch it.
We can't launch it until we build it.

343
00:27:31,944 --> 00:27:35,823
Time still remains before the sun
does permanent damage to your world.

344
00:27:35,948 --> 00:27:39,451
All they have done
is bring more outsiders.

345
00:27:39,576 --> 00:27:41,203
You have to be patient.

346
00:27:41,286 --> 00:27:45,332
The problem grows ever worse
as long as you are here.

347
00:27:46,542 --> 00:27:51,421
If you can't see that the gods wish you to
leave, we will be forced to make it clear.

348
00:27:51,547 --> 00:27:54,383
Malchus, this is not the way of the K'Tau.

349
00:27:54,466 --> 00:27:57,553
If the gods did not want them here,
they wouldn't be here.

350
00:27:57,678 --> 00:28:01,014
If their presence is truly part of a test,

351
00:28:01,098 --> 00:28:03,767
then we have failed... miserably.

352
00:28:34,506 --> 00:28:36,550
General, we're ahead of schedule.

353
00:28:36,675 --> 00:28:38,760
This should be the last shipment of parts.

354
00:28:38,886 --> 00:28:41,221
Any word yet on the HU- 2340?

355
00:28:41,346 --> 00:28:45,392
Quite frankly, I never expected it
to be easier to get the rocket.

356
00:28:45,517 --> 00:28:49,813
Sir, without the superheavy element,
it will have been a giant waste of time.

357
00:28:49,897 --> 00:28:51,940
Don't worry, Major.

358
00:29:02,242 --> 00:29:03,702
Dr MacLaren.

359
00:29:03,827 --> 00:29:06,747
Very impressive operation
you've got here.

360
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,210
I hope you consider yourself lucky, Major.

361
00:29:11,293 --> 00:29:15,839
Dr MacLaren finally decided a peek
at the SGC was worth the exchange.

362
00:29:21,470 --> 00:29:25,098
It took me five years
to make that much HU- 2340.

363
00:29:25,224 --> 00:29:29,978
Well, maybe one day you'll be able to visit
the planet that your Maclarium is saving.

364
00:29:30,479 --> 00:29:33,315
Did you say Maclarium?

365
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:38,612
Sounds like a good name to me. I'll use it
in my official report to the Pentagon.

366
00:29:40,447 --> 00:29:44,493
I don't wanna be in your way.
You've obviously got a job to do here.

367
00:29:44,576 --> 00:29:46,787
- Good luck, Major.
- Thank you, Doctor.

368
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,093
That's the last of it, sir.
We've got everything we need.

369
00:30:01,218 --> 00:30:03,220
- Good.
- Daniel and Teal'c?

370
00:30:03,971 --> 00:30:09,309
They're in the village. Still trying to
convince the folks we're friendly elves.

371
00:30:09,434 --> 00:30:12,938
I think the sooner
we get outta here the better.

372
00:30:14,064 --> 00:30:16,108
Is that smoke?

373
00:30:26,869 --> 00:30:29,079
- What happened?
- Somebody set a fire.

374
00:30:29,204 --> 00:30:30,080
Anybody hurt?

375
00:30:30,205 --> 00:30:32,583
Two members of SG- 6.
The rocket was destroyed.

376
00:30:32,708 --> 00:30:36,837
- Stupid son of a bitch!
- The gods have spoken.

377
00:30:36,962 --> 00:30:40,048
You just killed two of my men
and screwed your whole planet!

378
00:30:40,174 --> 00:30:44,219
Two of our brothers also gave
their lives to serve the gods.

379
00:30:44,303 --> 00:30:48,432
You coward! Why didn't you
do it yourself? Why?

380
00:30:48,515 --> 00:30:52,644
- I would gladly die to serve the gods.
- Maybe you should.

381
00:30:53,896 --> 00:30:55,147
- Jack!
- Sir!

382
00:30:55,272 --> 00:30:58,609
Stop, please! I'm truly sorry
for what has happened,

383
00:30:58,734 --> 00:31:01,195
but Malchus acted without my knowledge.

384
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,699
He will be punished,
but, please, more death serves no one!

385
00:31:17,294 --> 00:31:21,215
More death is exactly
what you people are gonna get.

386
00:31:48,659 --> 00:31:52,162
Jack, stop! We can't leave.

387
00:31:52,287 --> 00:31:56,250
The hell we can't. Carter, dial it up.
Get these people home. That's an order!

388
00:31:56,375 --> 00:31:59,628
- Jack, would you stop?
- They killed two of my men!

389
00:31:59,711 --> 00:32:03,257
Yes, they did. But not all these people
are responsible for that,

390
00:32:03,382 --> 00:32:07,177
and even the ones that were were just
doing what they believed was right.

391
00:32:07,302 --> 00:32:09,763
- I really don't care.
- Well, I do.

392
00:32:13,058 --> 00:32:15,352
Leaving now would be irredeemable.

393
00:32:15,477 --> 00:32:18,814
In whose eyes? The Asgard?
They had their chance.

394
00:32:18,939 --> 00:32:21,942
I pressed the button
that could end this civilisation.

395
00:32:22,067 --> 00:32:26,196
All right! We made the first mistake,
but we were gonna fix it.

396
00:32:26,864 --> 00:32:29,700
Is it obvious only to me
that they don't want help?

397
00:32:29,783 --> 00:32:33,162
I couldn't live with myself
if I just walked away now.

398
00:32:33,287 --> 00:32:38,876
I do not believe the majority of people of
this world support the actions of Malchus.

399
00:32:41,587 --> 00:32:43,714
- What then?
- Relocate them.

400
00:32:45,549 --> 00:32:49,511
- Their ties to this world are strong.
- We have to give them the option.

401
00:32:52,514 --> 00:32:56,810
- Then it's their choice.
- Sir, we still have the Maclarium.

402
00:32:56,894 --> 00:33:02,316
With your permission, I'd like to return to
the SGC and run a few more simulations.

403
00:33:07,488 --> 00:33:11,408
OK. I know this world has been
your home for generations.

404
00:33:12,701 --> 00:33:16,914
But it looks now like the eye of Odin
will not be restored.

405
00:33:16,997 --> 00:33:19,124
That is for the gods to decide.

406
00:33:19,249 --> 00:33:24,505
Right. But consider this - that the gods
are giving you another choice.

407
00:33:25,672 --> 00:33:29,218
- What is that?
- The chance to move to another world.

408
00:33:31,386 --> 00:33:35,057
You can come through the Annulus
with us. It's very simple.

409
00:33:35,182 --> 00:33:38,185
If Freyr wished us to leave this world,

410
00:33:38,310 --> 00:33:41,647
he would come to take us away
in his chariot.

411
00:33:42,564 --> 00:33:44,900
He does. He wishes you to leave.

412
00:33:45,025 --> 00:33:49,655
He's very busy right now
and he sent us to take you our way.

413
00:33:50,823 --> 00:33:53,242
If you don't go, you will all die.

414
00:33:54,368 --> 00:33:56,411
Your efforts are noble.

415
00:33:57,371 --> 00:34:00,874
But if our destruction
is the will of the gods,

416
00:34:00,999 --> 00:34:04,086
we must face our fate bravely.

417
00:34:21,562 --> 00:34:23,605
Now can we go?

418
00:34:25,482 --> 00:34:27,943
- K'Tau were not convinced?
- No.

419
00:34:28,944 --> 00:34:31,321
Because you didn't say
what needed to be said.

420
00:34:31,446 --> 00:34:33,907
Well, what would you have said?

421
00:34:35,951 --> 00:34:38,412
Wait, what are you gonna say?

422
00:34:45,878 --> 00:34:48,797
Hey, folks! You wanna join me over here?

423
00:34:50,132 --> 00:34:52,176
Come on.

424
00:34:53,844 --> 00:34:57,347
Here, folks. I got a few things I wanna say.

425
00:34:57,472 --> 00:35:00,934
- What are you doing?
- Telling them the truth, Daniel.

426
00:35:01,059 --> 00:35:06,481
Whether God exists is not as important
as whether a belief in God exists.

427
00:35:06,607 --> 00:35:10,486
- What if we were talking about a Goa'uld?
- We're not talking about a Goa'uld.

428
00:35:10,611 --> 00:35:13,197
Have we not made our position clear?

429
00:35:13,322 --> 00:35:18,327
Yes. Yes, you have. I just don't think
we've made ourselves clear.

430
00:35:18,827 --> 00:35:21,914
- Jack, the Asgard...
- Are not gods.

431
00:35:27,377 --> 00:35:31,757
Hi, folks. Listen, you all know Freyr, right?

432
00:35:31,882 --> 00:35:36,178
Big guy, kinda good- looking,
a lot of fancy gold armour.

433
00:35:37,179 --> 00:35:41,558
Well, here's a flash for you.
That's not what he looks like.

434
00:35:42,309 --> 00:35:44,353
What do you mean?

435
00:35:46,813 --> 00:35:50,943
He's an alien who's been
pretending to be your god.

436
00:35:55,656 --> 00:35:59,201
He doesn't have a chariot.
He's got a spaceship.

437
00:36:02,788 --> 00:36:04,414
Spaceship.

438
00:36:04,498 --> 00:36:08,627
Big machine, like the one we were
building, only his is way better,

439
00:36:08,710 --> 00:36:11,171
and not blown up.

440
00:36:11,922 --> 00:36:16,468
I'm not kiddin' you, folks.
This little fella is about three feet tall,

441
00:36:16,552 --> 00:36:19,054
got clammy, grey skin, big black eyes

442
00:36:19,179 --> 00:36:23,642
and skinny, tiny little arms and legs,
like toothpicks.

443
00:36:30,482 --> 00:36:32,901
They think you need to believe in a god,

444
00:36:33,026 --> 00:36:36,655
that you're not developed enough
as a culture to think for yourselves.

445
00:36:36,780 --> 00:36:38,866
- Enough!
- Elrad, listen to me.

446
00:36:39,449 --> 00:36:44,955
These aliens have the power to help you.
They chose not to.

447
00:36:45,038 --> 00:36:47,791
I am sorry for what happened
to your people.

448
00:36:48,542 --> 00:36:51,628
I know you think you are trying to help us,

449
00:36:51,712 --> 00:36:56,341
but, please, it is time for you to leave.

450
00:37:12,524 --> 00:37:14,067
OK.

451
00:37:14,193 --> 00:37:18,655
Sorry to bother you.
Thanks for your time, folks.

452
00:37:23,076 --> 00:37:26,580
There. Gave them a choice.
They chose. Let's go.

453
00:37:46,225 --> 00:37:50,020
I thought the odds of success for
this scenario were one in a million, Major.

454
00:37:50,145 --> 00:37:55,108
Yes, sir, but I now think that we can
increase that estimate to one per cent.

455
00:37:56,443 --> 00:37:58,320
It's your call, General.

456
00:37:58,403 --> 00:38:02,950
I only understand about one per cent
of what she says half the time.

457
00:38:03,033 --> 00:38:05,494
Run it by me again.

458
00:38:13,544 --> 00:38:17,005
We send the Maclarium
through the wormhole to K'Tau.

459
00:38:17,798 --> 00:38:21,385
Now, based on the distance from Earth
and the rate of travel,

460
00:38:21,510 --> 00:38:25,055
I've tried to calculate the exact time
we should shut down the gate

461
00:38:25,180 --> 00:38:27,850
so the Maclarium stops short
of reaching the planet

462
00:38:27,975 --> 00:38:31,144
and actually ends up in their sun.

463
00:38:31,270 --> 00:38:37,109
I thought when something was in
a wormhole, it existed only as energy,

464
00:38:37,192 --> 00:38:40,445
that you needed another Stargate
to turn it back into solid matter.

465
00:38:40,571 --> 00:38:44,074
Actually, you're absolutely correct, sir.

466
00:38:45,701 --> 00:38:47,995
- I am?
- Yes.

467
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,581
It's the Stargate on the other side

468
00:38:50,706 --> 00:38:54,293
that actually reintegrates the matter
into its pre- organised form.

469
00:38:54,418 --> 00:38:58,797
Without it, the energy in the wormhole
would rematerialise in its base form.

470
00:38:58,881 --> 00:39:01,175
In the case of a person,
that would be bad,

471
00:39:01,300 --> 00:39:05,095
but in the case of an element,
it shouldn't be a problem.

472
00:39:05,220 --> 00:39:07,264
I was right.

473
00:39:07,389 --> 00:39:10,058
OK. You have a go, Major.

474
00:39:19,735 --> 00:39:22,196
Sending the MALP through.

475
00:39:28,494 --> 00:39:29,786
Payload is en route.

476
00:39:36,043 --> 00:39:39,379
Executing controlled shutdown... now.

477
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,887
Well, there's only one way
to know if it worked.

478
00:39:51,808 --> 00:39:55,854
Brothers and sisters,
in these troubled times,

479
00:39:55,979 --> 00:39:59,358
it is important for us
to come together as a family.

480
00:39:59,483 --> 00:40:03,529
We must remember
the great gifts of Freyr,

481
00:40:04,613 --> 00:40:08,992
and we must be grateful
for the lives that he has given us.

482
00:40:09,910 --> 00:40:14,456
In this troubled time,
we must still remember...

483
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:20,796
He agreed to let us stay, so long as we
stop trying to tell them Freyr is not a god.

484
00:40:20,879 --> 00:40:23,048
I don't think we'll be staying.

485
00:40:25,133 --> 00:40:27,386
Did your method not succeed,
Major Carter?

486
00:40:27,511 --> 00:40:30,430
It doesn't look good. I think we missed.

487
00:40:31,306 --> 00:40:34,560
Are you sure it's not just taking
longer than you thought or...?

488
00:40:34,685 --> 00:40:38,021
We should have noticed
a change by now.

489
00:40:38,105 --> 00:40:40,148
Let's go.

490
00:40:41,024 --> 00:40:43,068
I'm gonna tell them.

491
00:40:44,945 --> 00:40:47,614
- And say goodbye.
- Let us pray.

492
00:40:56,665 --> 00:40:59,126
Sorry, it didn't work.

493
00:41:01,503 --> 00:41:04,840
But it's not too late
to change your mind about leaving.

494
00:41:10,596 --> 00:41:14,641
Great protector, O Freyr,
our Lord and Saviour,

495
00:41:14,725 --> 00:41:19,938
accept our frailties and forgive our sins.

496
00:41:20,063 --> 00:41:25,486
We beg you, grant us your mercy
and return the light that gives us life.

497
00:41:31,950 --> 00:41:33,994
Goodbye.

498
00:41:50,135 --> 00:41:52,971
Am I having a stroke?

499
00:41:53,096 --> 00:41:55,390
Blessed be Freyr!

500
00:41:55,516 --> 00:41:59,228
Bow your heads and thank him
for granting our prayers.

501
00:42:03,732 --> 00:42:07,861
I'm pretty sure we didn't do this, sir.
At least, not on our own.

502
00:42:10,823 --> 00:42:13,826
- The Asgard.
- They said they wouldn't help.

503
00:42:13,909 --> 00:42:15,953
Overtly.

504
00:42:17,079 --> 00:42:19,832
By starting the process,
we gave them the opportunity

505
00:42:19,915 --> 00:42:22,584
to step in without the Goa'uld knowing?

506
00:42:23,669 --> 00:42:27,381
A way of saving face. Technical loophole.

507
00:42:27,798 --> 00:42:29,842
Or not.

508
00:42:33,470 --> 00:42:36,473
Well, we'll never really
know for sure, will we?

509
00:43:53,258 --> 00:43:56,512
