It's time.

Wait.

It's okay.

Just relax.

Give your vision
a moment to adjust.

You haven't used it
for a while.

How's that?

Better.

Your eyes...

It's nice to finally see them.

Leda...

Welcome back.

Where am I?

Many miles from the city.

This house belonged
to my uncle.

We're safe here.

The city?

I remember being there.

Something terrible
happened.

Many people died.

There's food, if you
feel strong enough to eat.

It's our fault, isn't it?

None of this would've happened
if we hadn't come here.

You're alive...

And considering
what you've been through,

that alone is a miracle.

First discovered
in the kirellian wastelands

over 150 years ago,

and the highlight of our
antiquities collection...

The great ring of avidan.

Researchers estimate the ring

to be at least
several thousand years old,

and while its origin
remains a subject of debate,

many believe it was created
by ancient worshipers

to honor their gods.

It's thought that the peculiar
symbols on the ring itself

represent the names
of the gods.

However, no one
has been able to decipher...

...Exactly what they mean.

Commander gareth?

In the name of the people
of the rand protectorate,

I welcome you.

You're colonel Carter?

This is teal'c
and Dr. Daniel Jackson.

It Is a pleasure to finally
meet you all face to face.

But, please, come.

We have
many questions,

as I'm sure you do
as well.

Sorry about
scaring the tourists.

We've made first contact
with a lot of planets,

but this
is the first time

we found ourselves coming
out of a museum piece.

One of our artifacts
suddenly coming to life

was a little
surprising,

but that pales in
comparison to its purpose.

It Is almost
beyond imagining.

As is the fact
that you're human.

My chief aide,
Jared Kane.

Well, believe it or not,
there's actually a good reason

for us being human.

Which we'll get to
in due time.

Colonel, I hope that once
we gain each others' trust,

you'll be able
to shed some light

on the technology
that powers the great ring.

It is unlike anything
we have seen before.

We call it the Stargate,

and our people share the
same hope, commander.

Of course. In due time.

I take it "the great
ring" is a recurring motif

in your culture?

It Is simply a reminder
of certain traditions

that predate
our age of enlightenment.

Most people wear them
more for the sake of fashion

than for religious belief.

Our history
tells of an age

when all-powerful gods
ruled our world.

The great ring was supposedly
the source of their power.

Of course, we know these are
merely legends from our ancient past.

However, the activation of the
ring may well cause a stir amongst

those few who still
follow the old ways.

Sorry.

I didn't mean to wake you.

It's all right.

For the pain.

I wish I could
give you more,

but our medicine
is in short supply.

Thank you.

I'll leave you alone. No.

No, please.
Stay.

How'd it go with the...
Caledonians?

Not so well, actually.

My time
with their representatives

was severely limited
by rand security forces.

Apparently gareth had
national security concerns.

Mainly that we'd tell the caledonians
too much about the Stargate.

Let me venture a wild guess.

They don't
get along so good?

The rand protectorate
and the caledonian federation

have been locked in a
state of cold war for decades.

Each nation has enough weapons
to wipe each other

off the face
of the planet.

Sounds depressingly
familiar.

There's actually
a third element

which has me
a little more concerned.

A group
of religious fundamentalists

led by a man named Soren.

Now, these people think that all life on
the planet was created by ancient gods,

and that these gods
will someday return

and reward them
for their faith.

And by coming
through the Stargate,

we confirmed their beliefs.

And because the gate was
activated in a public place,

the rand government
has been unable

to prevent the rumors
from spreading.

Now, before we made
contact with them,

these people
were considered zealots

who took the ancient texts
too literally.

The gate being activated
has given them all they need

to prove they were right
all along.

Their numbers will grow.

That's terrible...

And yet, not our problem.

Jack, you have to
let me go back.

If what you say
is true,

things are going to get a
little out of hand over there.

Yes, because of us.

If we hadn't chosen
to pay them a visit...

They'd be
far better off, I know.

Daniel, we're always
sticking our collective noses

where they don't
belong. It's what we do.

I can help them understand
what they're facing,

make them see it's not
the end of the world.

If we leave now, who
knows what could happen.

We have to help them.
You know that.

Regular contact.
No exceptions.

The second things start
getting a little squirrelly...

Thank you.
Daniel...

Squirrelly.

Squirrelly.

You shouldn't be standing.

Oh, don't let
appearances fool you.

I still
feel terrible.

Leda, everything
you've done for me...

Has been for my own
sake as well as yours.

So much has happened.

Caring for you has
helped me... Continue on.

Yeah, what has happened,
exactly?

I mean... I remember being
in the bunker

with commander gareth,
and we were attacked,

and the rest is a fog.

Jared is away
searching for survivors.

He should be back
in a few days' time.

I think it would be best
if he answered your questions.

Jared Kane.

Yeah, I remember him.
He was in the bunker as well.

My husband was chief aide
to commander gareth.

"Husband." "was."

He insisted I move here when
the fighting reached the capital.

He felt you would be
safest in my care.

Yeah, look, no offense, but I've
really got to get back to my own world,

or at least contact them and
let them know that I'm okay, so...

Trying to reach the great ring
will be impossible.

Rebel patrols have
been sighted in the area.

Even to leave the estate
grounds would be dangerous...

Not to mention the fact
that you are far from healed.

You must rest,
Daniel.

Leda, what happened
to commander gareth?

Give me
good news, colonel.

I wish
I could, sir.

We met with Soren,
leader of the rebels,

but it was less constructive
than we hoped.

How much less?

We were only allowed
to see him for 15 minutes.

After keeping us waiting
for several hours.

Well, important
matters of state, no doubt.

He's managed to unite

all the fundamentalist
factions in the rand protectorate,

which effectively puts him
in control.

He was most unwilling to allow
us to search for Daniel Jackson.

Before he insisted we leave,

he did promise he would look
into the matter on our behalf.

Whatever that means.

Right.

What about a U.A.V.?

He won't give us access
to the surface.

Plus, he claims
it would interfere

with their own
radio communication systems.

I'm sorry, sir,
but at this point,

we have no way of knowing
if Daniels still alive.

And what does blue mean?

It's our second-to-highest
level of military alert status.

There has been
civil unrest

in several urban centers
across the country.

Over a dozen
municipalities

have fallen into the hands
of Soren's troops.

Our forces
are in the process

of pacifying those areas
as we speak.

Pacifying?
Reclaiming our cities

from the hands
of religious madmen.

So civil unrest
means you go to blue?

Under normal
circumstances, no.

Unfortunately, the situation
has caused other problems.

What's going on?

We were forced to
heighten our alert status

to match that
of the caledonians.

And I promise you, we will
share this technology with you

once we fully
understand it.

You mean once you have

assessed its advantages
to your national security.

You have refused to
allow our scientists access

to the great ring.

You have limited our
access to the offworlders.

We do not feel
as much a part

of this great discovery
as you do.

And had the ring been
activated on caledonian soil,

you would have done
no different.

Minister treydan, I am simply
asking your government for Patience.

Stand down
your high alert,

and we will do the same.

Typically, you trust your
people too much, commander.

Caledonia has been
under strict martial law

since news of the offworlders'
arrival began to spread.

Our domestic security
remains intact.

The citizens of this world
are not children.

They just need time to come
to terms with this information.

Soren and his
followers

have already
seized control

of more than a dozen
of your cities.

Your people are panicked,
and your country

is on the verge
of collapse.

I urge you to deal
with this situation

in a swift
and decisive manner.

Should control
of the rand protectorate

fall into
Soren's hands,

we'll consider it
an act of war.

This is Daniel Jackson calling
Stargate command. Come in, please.

This is Daniel Jackson calling
Stargate command. Please respond.

This is Daniel Jackson calling
Stargate command. Come in, please.

This is Daniel Jackson
calling Stargate command.

Please respond.

Any luck?

No. Nothing yet.

You've been trying
for days.

Something seems to be jamming
all the signals I'm picking up.

I mean,
there's people out there,

but nothing clear enough
for me to respond to.

But you think your friends
will be able to hear you?

Uh, yeah,
it's kind of atiming thing.

You see,
if the Stargate's open,

they'll be able
to pick up my signal...

If your gate isn't buried
in rubble or worse.

Well, while you're
waiting to be rescued,

you could use some
fresh air...

If you think
you're up to it.

How can you be sure Soren
and his followers aren't right?

How can you know
for certain

that the gods they worship
aren't... Benevolent?

Because I've met
more than a few of them.

Trust me,
they're the opposite,

and they're definitely
not gods.

Then what are they?

The short form?

They're a parasitical
alien race

that steals
advanced technology,

and rules via fear
and intimidation,

and has a penchant
for melodrama.

Trust me, if Soren
ever actually met one,

he'd be singing
a different tune.

But you said you've
fought them and won?

Yeah, well, we got lucky
a few times, that's all.

But there's hope,
isn't there?

You think what happened
was your fault, don't you?

From what you've
told me, it was better

that your people activated
the great ring than the Goa'uld.

You think so? 'Cause
right now, I'm not so sure.

You couldn't have known
what was going to happen.

When the fighting
began,

you could have gone back to
your planet, but you chose to stay...

To try and help us.

For all the good
it did. Daniel...

There has been distrust
between our country and caledonia

for generations.

It was only a matter of time
before something set it off.

We did this
to ourselves.

And since
you've come here,

I've begun to think we may
have a chance to undo it.

To rebuild.

This is Stargate command
calling Dr. Jackson.

Do you read me?

Can you boost
the signal?

We're at maximum gain,
colonel.

This is Stargate command
calling Daniel Jackson.

Do you copy?

Anything?

Not yet, sir.

We're picking up a lot of
transmissions from the planet,

but none of them
are clear enough

to tell if they're
from Daniel.

We think both sides may have
employed radio jamming measures

just prior to the attack,

meaning any signals from
outside the command bunker

are a mess.

We're working on it.

Anything from SG-9 yet?

Yeah, they just reported in.

Sounds like the negotiations
are going nowhere, sir.

Soren is still
refusing to allow us

to send any teams
to look for Daniel.

He said our presence
on the planet

would only cause
more panic and fear.

Well, okay.

It sounds like I should
meet these people myself.

Kane.

Dr. Jackson.

We got as close to what was
left of the capital as we could.

Soren has troops conducting
full sweeps of the region,

searching for survivors.

Any suspected of remaining
loyal to the old government

are executed on the spot.

Haven't enough people died?

I don't think
that matters to him.

This is about continuing
the chaos, not peace.

You're right.

People are too afraid
to fight back.

Most of them have already given
up hope. It's just a matter of time

before they pledge
their loyalty to Soren.

Kane, what in the hell
happened that night?

I... remember being in the
bunker, and then waking up here.

It was the end.

I'm sorry, Dr. Jackson. You
really can't be in here right now.

Kane, what's going on? I heard
something about the Stargate being moved.

Rebels have seized control
of all of rand's major cities,

including sections
of the capital itself.

We had the Stargate
moved into the bunker complex

for security
purposes.

What are the
caledonians doing?

Their missile systems are
now fully deployed and primed.

As a result,
we've done the same.

It might be best if you
returned to your planet now.

Commander.

Minister treydan for you
on a coded frequency.

Put him through.

Commander gareth.

We have been monitoring
the situation in your country,

and we are
most concerned.

I understand, minister,
however, rest assured

we are close to
reclaiming vital areas...

Now is not the time
for rhetoric, commander.

Our reports indicate

large elements
of your military

are on the brink
of mutiny.

Your civil unrest
has become a civil war.

Should any
of your weapons systems

fall into
the wrong hands,

no one in my country
would be safe.

That will not happen,
I can promise you.

Just as you promised
our scientists

full access
to the Stargate?

First,
you hide information

about
the alien device,

and now you deny your
country has slipped into chaos?

We respected the guidelines
of our treaty to the letter.

Our report to you
on the Stargate

outlined
everything we know...

Except what you deemed
advantageous to your national security...

One moment, minister.

Rebel forces
just detonated

a large
explosive device

near one of our missile
deployment facilities.

As of this moment, we understand
the facility to be compromised.

Minister, forgive me. I must
cut our conversation short.

Commander, my
intelligence advisors

have just informed me
of a massive explosion

near one of your
missile facilities.

Is this true?

We are still
gathering information.

We will contain
the situation...

The time
for containment

is long past,
commander.

We cannot allow
your missile facilities

to fall into
Soren's hands.

Treydan, give us time.

This need not escalate.

We are targeting your
missile sites only.

If you do not wish
a full-scale war,

you will not
retaliate.

Treydan...

Commander, we've detected
multiple launch signals

from caledonia positions.

It's possible the destruction
could have been contained

if Soren's forces had not gained
control of one of our missile sites

and launched a counter-attack
on caledonia.

After that, it devolved
into a full-scale war.

Within a matter of days,
all our cities were leveled.

From what we can tell, only a
fraction of our population has survived,

existing mainly
in outlying areas.

As for the caledonians,
I've heard rumors

they're trying to rebuild
what they can.

It won't be much. They
may have struck first,

but our missile systems were
much more accurate than theirs.

And Soren?

Used the chaos to make
his move on the bunker.

Then how did you
save me?

Actually,
from what I understand,

it was you
who saved me.

Kane.

This is insane. Soren's
forces are moving in

on this facility. I can
get you to the Stargate,

but we have to go now.

This way!

Here, through that door.

Get down!

Loyalist soldiers
found us first

and got us
out of the city.

Your wounds were
much worse than mine.

Bringing you here
was the only option.

What happened
to commander gareth?

He was executed shortly
after the bunker fell.

Since he took power, Soren has
set up a provisional government,

not that there's much
of rand left to govern.

However, we do know
he does control

whatever's left
of the bunker complex...

Including
the Stargate.

I'm sorry, Dr. Jackson.

Howdy, fellas.

Welcome to earth.

General O'Neill,
it is an honor.

I greet you in the name
of our great nation, avidan.

You changed
the name?

"Avidan" speaks more
to our peoples' beliefs.

It Is from
an ancient Goa'uld dialect.

It means
"the gods are just!

Good choice.

So you're saying that
Soren is still using the bunker

as a command center.

Damage in the city
would be too severe.

Then he hasn't totally
consolidated his power yet, has he?

I'm saying that if we could
somehow retake the bunker,

we would effectively
overthrow Soren.

The bunker's
heavily fortified,

and I have only a dozen men under
my command. It would be suicide.

No. Not if we had help.

You see, if I could
reach my friends on earth,

we could regain control of the
gate. If you could reach them.

I know that you've been
trying to make radio contact

with your planet since you
regained consciousness,

without success.

I understand your wish
to return to your world,

but it simply
isn't possible.

This isn't about that.
My people can help you.

Like you helped us before?

I admire your passion,
Dr. Jackson,

but too much has happened
to fixwith one heroic action.

We have to accept the fact
that Soren has won.

Rand belongs to him now.

It Is obvious
you revere the great ring

as much as we do,
general O'Neill.

Oh, yeah.

We love the old gal.

Quite possibly for
different reasons than you.

We both seek to defend our
people's way of life, do we not, general?

To protect
their very existence...

You do not represent
the people of your world.

You merely kill those who believe
differently and would stand against you.

You speak
what is on your mind.

I admire that.

Actually, in your case,
he's holding back.

Carter?

Commander Soren, we're
prepared to offer you aid

in exchange for help
in locating Daniel Jackson.

Food and medical
supplies,

plus support
personnel

to help you stabilize
the situation on your planet.

You cannot truly believe
that your friend is still alive?

Oh, he's a
resourceful fella.

Your offer is
most generous,

but I'm afraid
we must decline.

We are, however, particularly
interested in your weapons technology.

Your people are facing
starvation and disease.

What has happened to our world
is most unfortunate,

and yet vital.

Those who refused
to believe

needed to be purged
from existence

so that we could
begin anew.

You know, in these parts,

we like to call that
"crimes against humanity:

If all you care about
is spiritual salvation,

what do you need
the weapons for?

The revolution
is not yet complete.

You mean you want
to take over caledonia too.

As I said,

the revolution
is not yet complete.

Leda, you have to talk
to your husband.

And what am I supposed
to say to him?

That it's not too late
to regain control,

to rebuild
your country.

Everything you told me
before. Daniel, I can't.

Why?
Because I'd be lying.

Jared is right.

Those of us who
were unlucky enough

to live through
what's happened

will die soon enough,

either through disease
or one of Soren's purges.

There is no future.

Leda, you were right.

There is hope. Don't... don't
doubt that, please.

You believe your people
can help us?

Yes.

What if you do overthrow
Soren? What then?

You simply leave?

When Jared became part of
commander gareth's inner circle,

he... changed.

He became remote

and distant.

I'd forgotten
what it was like just...

To talk to someone.

To feel...

Leda...

I'll speak to him, Daniel...

But he won't hear me.

A waste of time.

Waste.

Sir, ithinkthe fact
that he hasn't left yet

could mean he's still
willing to deal.

He has no need
for humanitarian aid.

The chaos in his country has only
served to strengthen his position.

Well, we can't
just give up.

Yes. I know that.

We're continuing to monitor countless
radio signals coming from the planet.

One of them
could be from Daniel.

If we can find a way to
contact him... find him!

Yes, sir.

I'm telling you, leda,
it's madness.

All it will accomplish is to
wipe out any chance we have

to mount a unified resistance
in the future.

But what
if he's right?

What if this is
our best opportunity

to defeat Soren?

You would have me
throw away my life

and the lives of my men

so that Daniel
can return to his world?

It's not about that.

It's about rebuilding
our world.

His friends can help us
do that.

Jared, our people
need this.

You mean
he needs this.

I'm not blind, leda.

You and Daniel have grown
close during his convalescence.

Jared, it's not
what you think.

Let me speak.

If I could live the last
few years differently,

leda, I would.
I would make the time.

But we no longer
have the luxury for regrets.

I need to know.
Do you love him?

Leda?

I trust him.

Once order
has been established,

the people of avidan will
live differently than before...

Simply. Humbly.

Waiting for our gods
inevitable return.

You know, we've met these gods
upon whom you're so hot,

and trust me
when I tell you

they are not
what you think they are.

They will reward your worship
with enslavement.

You are not the first
to try to sway our beliefs,

but I can assure you,
our faith is unshakable.

This is not about faith.

This is about
a means to power.

That went well.

Sir, you better get up here.

What?

By implementing new
spread-spectrum frequency hopping

into our communications
software...

Carter, Carter,
Carter...

Hello?

Guys?

We found him.

Sweet.

Daniel?

Jack, nice to hear
your voice.

Likewise.

You coming home or what?

Trying to.

As soon as
I find mykeltesh.

What?

Uh... it looks a lot
like myring Kol nok.

You know,
I lent it to you...

Forgrel-Kar
akree-nor day?

He's changed.

Sir, he's speaking Goa'uld.

"Ring Kol nok"
means strategy.

"Keltesh" speaks of a
well-known Jaffa battle tactic...

A flanking attack
from two sides.

Yes, Daniel.

I remember exactly
where I put it.

Any other... thoughts?

No, just that I hope someone's
been feeding mylo assak

while I've been away.

We've pieced together all the
Goa'uld words Daniel gave us.

If Teal'c's translations
are correct,

he's suggesting a strategy
to retake the bunker.

He is proposing a coordinated
attack against Soren.

We come through the gate
at the same time

as Daniel and Kane's men
enter from the surface.

I'm thinking we take
sgs-3,-6, and -12 as back-up.

We go in hot,
secure the gate,

then extract Daniel.

He has supplied
an estimate

of the strength
of Soren's forces

as well as a possible date
and time for the assault.

Our next communication
is in five hours.

All we need to do
is confirm everything,

and, of course,
get a go from you, sir.

All right. Well, not to
nitpick or anything, here, t,

but are you sure
you got it right?

I am certain, O'Neill.

Okay.

Go.

15 men?
That's hardly enough.

Look, these are some of
the best people on my planet,

and they're trained for
missions exactly like this.

It'll be enough.
Trust me.

If we're going to do this,
we have to set it up now.

They're waiting
for your response.

Jared, a rebel patrol
is approaching.

Hide in the cellar.

Leda...
I know what to do.

In the name of
Soren, open the door!

Inspection.

Stand aside.

Please, just tell me
what you're looking for.

Who owns this house?

I do. And who else lives here?

No one.

You're hurting me.

We know loyalist
soldiers are in the area.

Collaboration
is punishable by death.

Search the house.

There's no one else here,

but we found some
men's clothes and boots.

- Now, who else lives here?
- My husband did.

He died last month from wounds
suffered during the bombings.

Please.

I only wish
to lead a simple life.

As it is written
in the ancient texts.

There's nothing here.

Let's move.

Once we're close enough,
we'll use the city's tunnel systems

to get us near one of
the bunker's access points.

After we're inside, we'll wait for
Dr. Jackson's people to make their move,

then we make ours.

Understood?

Let's hope your friends
keep their end of the bargain.

If this works...
You'll be going home.

Leda, I...
No.

Go.

Commander, several posts
are no longer reporting in.

Loyalist troops have entered
from the surface

and have managed to
take several key sections.

Then take them back.

We cannot.

They have coordinated their
attack with help from the offworlders.

We are losing control
of the facility.

If you're suggesting
that we evacuate,

think again.

Cease fire!

Daniel,
you guys okay?

Yeah, we're fine!

All stations are dark.

The loyalists
have us surrounded.

They are calling
for our surrender.

Engage them.

Any chance
he'll just surrender?

Commander, we are
hopelessly outnumbered.

We are all here
for one purpose...

To honor the will
of our gods.

In their names, we Rose up.

In their names,
we purged the non-believers,

and in their names,
we will die, if necessary.

We will not dishonor them
with cowardice.

Now, engage them.

Engage them.

You question
your faith?

I will show you faith.

Drop your weapon.

I said drop
your weapon now!

It's over.
I hope so.

You may have just
made him a martyr.

I had no choice.

You can return
to your world now.

Kane... what happened to us

was not your fault.

I know...

But we made a promise,
and we intend to keep it.

We'll be back
to help you rebuild.

Daniel, are you ready
to go home?

Yeah.
