Previously on Stargate SG-1...

First we must rescue Thor.

He is a prisoner of the Goa'uld.

I am Anubis.

This device will be implanted into your brain.

It will form a link between your mind

and the ship's computer.

Your knowledge will simply be downloaded into our memory banks.

O'Neill... Thor?

I am using the internal communication system

to synthesize my voice.

I believe I may be able to rewrite some minor subroutines

in the security protocol.

Lord Anubis, the asgard prisoner is gone.

He will not get far.

You cannot take me with you.

Why not?

The link between myself and the Goa'uld ship

has not been severed.

They managed to remove the device from his brain,

but it may have been too late.

Apparently, he's lapsed into a coma.

Looks like your analysis was right, Sam.

It's dead in space, but completely intact.

Has Anubis ever done anything like this before?

This is a first.

Must've been a little crazy around the SGC

when it showed up, huh?

You have no idea.

I have a pretty good idea, Sam.

I used to be an air force general, remember?

Are we there yet?

Not yet, sir, just close enough to do some scans.

Scanned anything yet?

Nothing, sir.

Nothing?

It's in a stable planetary orbit.

Shields and weapons are down,

and it's emitting no e.M. Of any kind.

Still just kind of sitting there.

Yes, sir.

Well, if they were going to attack earth,

they'd have done it by now.

What're you smiling at?

It's just that it's my first time...

In space.

We'd only begun to consider the possibility of space travel.

To actually be out here is...

It's amazing.

Indeed.

Until something goes horribly wrong.

What's our status?

The ship should be just a few hundred kilometers dead ahead.

There.

Ship ahoy-oy.

That's incredible.

I'm not 100%,

but this could be the same ship Anubis used to kidnap Thor.

Now we know why they haven't attacked.

There's no discernible life signs.

All the escape pods have been jettisoned.

The ship does not appear to have been damaged in battle.

Power and life supports are functioning normally.

There's just nobody on board.

Why would they abandon a perfectly good ship?

They wouldn't.

Jack, rather than fly into a cargo bay,

I recommend we use transport rings to get there

until we can get a better idea of what's going on.

Yeah.

Boys?

Radio Hammond.

Let him know we'll have something in a couple of hours.

Very well. Jonas, stay with Teal'c.

I don't understand.

I'm sorry.

Stay here.

So I'm not going with you? Not this time.

Colonel, I've studied every report, every specification

on Goa'uld motherships... because I gave you an order, Jonas.

I always have a reason I'm not required to explain.

It's a military thing.

Jack...

What is that?

I can't make it out.

The crew appears to have abandoned ship, general Hammond.

That's good news.

We've all been holding our breath down here.

That is most unwise.

Yes, of course, Teal'c.

Colonel O'Neill is leading ateam

to determine if the vessel can be salvaged.

Very well.

Keep me apprised.

Hammond out.

This is strange.

The ship is operational, but before they left,

they initiated a self-destruct sequence.

It looks like the countdown's stuck.

It just doesn't make any sense.

The only way to stop a self-destruct

is with a command override,

but that would completely erase the sequence,

not suspend it halfway.

So is the ship going to explode or not?

Well, until we know why the countdown was suspended,

we can't be sure it won't start up again.

We need to get to the computer core and do a diagnostic.

Carter,

you and Davis...

See if you can disable that self-destruct altogether.

Yes, sir. Sir.

Jack, are you seriously considering salvaging this ship?

Why, yes, I am, Jacob.

This ship belonged to Anubis.

Excellent.

What if it's some sort of trojan horse?

Well, then, apparently, they did it wrong.

Look, Jack, none of this makes any sense,

so before you go slapping a U.S. air force sticker

on the side of this ship... Will you stop?

Obviously, we've got to check things out around here

to see what happened before we do anything.

And find out what the hell it's doing in earth orbit.

But our standing orders are to recover technology

that can help us defend against the Goa'uld.

I'd say this ship falls under that heading, wouldn't you?

Okay.

Thank you.

You know, sometimes, I get a little concerned

that you're going to get my favorite planet wiped out.

Yes.

What planet is that?

So, listen, if they wanted to scuttle the ship

and the self-destruct didn't work,

their next logical option

would be to sabotage the hyperdrive.

Friesen, let's go.

I'll do a systems check from here.

Find out what that sound is.

What's the problem?

Dad, this is Sam.

What's up?

We're on our way to the computer core,

but we can't access this corridor.

All right, hang on.

The whole section's been sealed off,

and the life support's been shut down.

Why would they do that?

I have no idea.

I'll see if I can open it up

and get the ventilation going again.

Colonel, we should also check on the shield generators.

Jacob... How's the hyperdrive?

Friesen says the engine checks out,

but he wants to have a look at the shield generators.

Does he say why?

Why? To see them.

To see them?

Never mind.

If this was the ship that destroyed

an asgard ship and kidnapped Thor,

then its shields were clearly superior

to any...

We're in. All right. Just be careful, Sam.

Yes, dad.

Something bad definitely happened here.

Dad, we're just outside the computer core.

The door looks like it's been hit

by several staff blasts.

That's interesting, because it's the only door I can't open.

The circuits are fused.

It's almost as if there was a deliberate overload.

It's starting to look more and more like a saboteur on board.

Someone damaged the computer and then sealed it off

so they couldn't effect repairs.

Whatever happened, I can't get you inside.

Colonel, have you been monitoring?

Affirmative. On my way.

I have to go blow something up.

Head on back to the peltac,

see if Jacob needs any help.

Shall we?

Whoo, that was loud.

What?

Jacob, we're in.

This is fantastic.

No, this is fantastic.

Shield generators...

Hello?

Colonel O'Neill?

Why would he bring me all the way out here

if I'm not going to be allowed to contribute anything?

This is your first mission.

It may take some time for colonel O'Neill

to gain confidence in your abilities.

So it was the same for you?

No, it was not.

You know, I heard the rumor

that I only got this assignment because colonel O'Neill

didn't want to have a Russian on the team.

Such rumors are meaningless.

O'Neill would not have chosen you if he did not believe

that one day you would be an effective member of SG-1.

Thanks, Teal'c. I really appreciate that.

I mean, those of us

who aren't originally from the planet earth

have got to stick together, right?

Are you suggesting an alien conspiracy?

No.

Of course, yes.

I was warned about your occasional use of humor.

It's... got me.

No conspiracy.

The computer log confirms

that this is the same ship that Thor was aboard.

And?

Well, it could explain a lot, sir.

Thor's brain was directly linked to this computer.

Anubis may have grossly underestimated

the power of an asgard's mind.

And?

It's possible that when his mind was linked,

Thor was able to rewrite some of the ship's programming,

maybe even leave something behind.

Like a virus? Exactly.

By interfering with everything

from navigation to life support,

a complex virus could have driven Anubis to abandon ship.

Might explain why the self-destruct got stuck.

He could have generated a whole new subroutine

that sent this ship to our solar system

after it was abandoned,

like a gift.

I know it sounds a little wacky, sir,

but the more I think about it,

the more it seems like the most reasonable explanation.

There's a little wishful thinking there, major.

Well, if this ship wasn't ultimately intended for us to find,

why did it travel halfway across the galaxy

all by itself?

For that matter, why didn't the self-destruct just go off?

Well, even if you're right, I mean, I really doubt

that a virus is going to know the difference

between us and the Goa'uld.

There has to be a way to disable it somehow,

or Thor wouldn't have sent the ship here.

Dr. Friesen, this is major Carter.

We could use your assistance in the computer core.

Friesen, come in.

Dad, have you seen Dr. Friesen?

Negative.

You scientists...

Stay here. I'll find him.

It's a big ship, sir.

I think I know where he went.

It's coming out of the ship's intercom.

What is?

The sound we keep hearing.

You hear that?

There's a pattern to it,

almost like distorted words.

Let's check it out.

Carter,

I want you and Davis back on the peltac

with Jacob. What's going on, sir?

Friesen's dead.

Jacob, come in.

Jacob, do you read?

Jacob, come in.

Jacob?

Dad!

Colonel, we've got another problem.

I'll live. Go, go, go.

We're decelerating out of orbit,

and they've disabled the drive controls.

Sir, we've got no way of altering course.

We're going to crash.

Teal'c, come in.

O'Neill, you are approaching earth's atmosphere.

Yeah, you know, we noticed that.

You're going to have to ring us out of here.

Standing by.

It's no use.

I estimate impact between 500 and 1,000 miles

west-southwest of Alaska.

The amount of energy released at impact will be massive.

There could be a tidal wave.

Raise the shields and set inertial dampening to maximum.

That way, the ship should survive in one piece.

Done. That's all I can do.

Teal'c, we're heading to the ring room.

Wait, wait, wait.

Teal'c?

We have been attacked by Jaffa from the mothership.

What's your situation?

They are no longer a threat to us,

but the ship has been damaged.

The crystals that allow us to receive ring transmissions

have been destroyed,

and there is insufficient time to dock aboard the mothership.

Well, I guess we're goin" in.

The official line is that early this morning,

at approximately eight hours,

NORAD tracked a meteor as it entered earth's atmosphere

and landed somewhere in the north pacific.

So far, no word from the Chinese government,

but I'm sure we'll be hearing from them soon enough.

As for the Russians, I have a call going through to colonel Chekov

in about 10 minutes.

Yes, sir.

I'll be keeping you apprised of any further developments.

Gentlemen, it's good to have you back.

We've located the mothership.

Sonar readings suggest that it's still intact.

Then they may still be alive.

We're proceeding under that assumption.

There's a deep submergence rescue vehicle

en route from Pearl harbor,

but we still have to figure out

how the crew is going to access the mothership.

A mothership's escape pods

are jettisoned through pressurized tubes.

It may be possible that one of them

could be used as a point of access.

That sounds like our best shot.

General, with your permission, Teal'c and I

would like to join the rescue operation.

There's a plane waiting. Thank you, sir.

I should have been with them.

Do you believe you could have prevented this from happening?

Maybe. You don't think so?

It was an ambush.

Your presence would have made little difference.

Like on the cargo ship?

You could not have known those Jaffa would ring aboard ship.

Yeah, I stood there.

You saved my life like Dr. Jackson did back on my planet.

I didn't do a thing.

It is my understanding

that it was largely your idea

that led to the successful disposal of the other Stargate

before it could be detonated.

You saved the lives of millions.

Yeah, that was different. That was an intellectual exercise.

I'm talking about knowing what you can do in the heat of the moment

when there is no time to think.

One can never be certain

until the opportunity presents itself.

So far, my track record is not great.

Perhaps that is so,

but there are many battles left to be fought, Jonas Quinn.

How are you doing?

Aside from the burns, I've got a broken collarbone.

Selmak's working on it.

You know, for guys with no life signs,

those Jaffa did a bit of damage.

They must have been trapped in the section of the ship

that was sealed off.

To stay alive as long as possible,

they would have gone into a deep state of kelnoreem,

slowing down their heart rate

to oneortwo beats per minute.

In that condition, the cargo ship's

sensors weren't sensitive enough to pick them up.

Think there are any more running around?

I doubt it.

My guess is the three that attacked me

were on the computer core level.

I let them out when I opened the door to allow Sam inside.

Well, we've got life support operating at 50%.

It won't be too comfortable in here,

but at least we won't freeze to death...

Right away.

Can we fix the engines?

Not a chance,

and that's not our only problem.

We found evidence of structural damage on the lower levels,

probably a result of the impact.

How bad?

I'm not sure.

The exterior pressure's pretty severe,

especially on the lower levels of this ship.

It wouldn't take much to compromise the hull.

Well, help'll be on the way.

There's also the matter of the self-destruct sequence

frozen halfway through its countdown.

You haven't turned that off yet?

No, sir, and I'm not sure we should even try.

Why?

Well, first, the door to the computer core was locked,

and then when the jaffatried to blast their way in,

the entire section was sealed off

and life support was shut down.

By who?

It's "whom."

Actually, sir, it's more like "what."

What?

The virus Thor left behind.

Exactly.

What if it was trying to defend itself?

So Thor leaves behind a virus

that forces Anubis to abandon his ship,

and then this virus defends itself

against the Jaffa Anubis left behind to blow the ship?

Or maybe it was left here so we could find it.

Sir, with your permission, I'd like to return

to the computer core.

I'll go with you.

Sir, we've just got word from the task force.

The dsrv is in the water.

Major Davis is right.

It Is definitely coming through the ship's intercom.

Maybe the virus is trying to talk to us.

What the hey?

Dad, we've got evidence of flooding here.

Stand by.

There's been a hull breach on the engineering level.

We're nowhere near engineering.

It looks like the sea water penetrated

to the central access shaft,

and now the pressure's pushing it up

through the core of the ship.

We're flooding from the inside.

Dad, the door is closing behind us.

It's a security measure.

All doors are sealed around the breach.

I'll try to open it from here.

It's a bit chilly.

Dad, how's it coming with that door?

This could take some time, Sam.

We have visual contact.

I'm sorry, sir. I can't bypass the system locally.

Jacob?

Yeah, without the proper codes,

I can't access the security program.

I'm going down there. To do what?

The local controls are locked out.

Jack, I'lltry to find a back door to the program.

How long's that going to take?

I'm looking at some major shrinkage here.

I don't know. This is kind of a unique situation.

Give me a few minutes.

How long do you figure it'll take for thisthing to fill up?

A few more minutes.

Yeah.

Approaching point of entry.

Next time we crash our brand-new mothership,

what do you say we do it in the tropics?

Actually, sir, it wouldn't make a difference.

At this depth, all water is ice-cold.

Shallower water, then. Shallower.

Yes, sir, I'll keep that in mind.

Or we could just not crash at all.

It would be nice to keep our nice new mothership

more than a couple of hours.

Yes, sir.

Jacob, we could blow the door.

In such a confined space,

the concussion would kill them.

They'll be dead if we don't. We can't leave them to drown!

We have to do some... what the hell do you think I'm trying to do, major?

You're dad's cutting it a little close...

I can't do it.

Sam...

I'm sorry.

What is that, Jacob?

The security protocols been erased.

Jack, Sam, come in.

Jacob, this is teal'c.

We are on board the ship.

Teal'c, Jack and Sam are in trouble,

main computer level.

That's two levels down this way.

Remain here. Yes, sir.

Dad, this is Sam.

We're okay.

Yes!

Thank god. Sam, you really had me worried.

Tell him I take back everything I was thinking

when I was underwater.

Whatever you did, it worked.

I didn't do anything. The security protocol erased itself.

Wait a minute. How is that possible?

I don't know.

Who cares? Let's go.

O'Neill...

Are you all right?

Uh, a little wet, a little chilly.

The knee gets a little stiff

in cold water, you know.

We have a rescue submarine docked with the ship.

We can't leave yet. Yes, we can.

No, sir.

Something else is definitely going on here.

Sir...

We just got a message from the task force.

The dsrv pilot reports they made contact,

and SG-1's okay,

but Dr. Friesen's dead.

Did they get them off the ship?

Not yet.

They're staying aboard for some reason.

It's definitely a voice.

Give me a second. I'll see if I can clean it up.

Why would it be so distorted?

Anubis probably tried to shut it off.

Carter?

Well, the security program

that locked us in that corridor

didn't just shut down by itself.

You think this virus Thor left in the ship's computer

is acting intelligently?

If that door hadn't have opened,

colonel O'Neill and I would have drowned.

It knows who you are.

...10 synthesize my voice. I got it.

I am using the internal communication system

to synthesize my voice.

I am using the internal communication system

to synthesize my voice.

Thor spoke the same words to O'Neill and I

when were imprisoned aboard this vessel.

Sir, maybe what we've been calling a virus

isn't a virus at all.

Maybe it's Thor.

We got him off this ship months ago.

Not before Anubis was able to download his mind

into the computer core.

Now, if his consciousness remained intact,

he would be an independent entity

operating within the system.

His mind took control of the vessel.

Way to go, Thor.

Sir, the asgard said that Thor was on life support,

but there was little chance that he'd come out of it,

so?

So if we can download his consciousness

from the computer,

the asgard can transfer itinto a new cloned body.

If that's what you want to do, Sam,

you'd better move fast.

The computer core isn't flooded yet,

but it's only a matter of time.

Wait a second. If Thor is really in control of this ship,

then he's the only thing keeping the self-destruct on hold.

If we remove that consciousness,

the countdown will start up again.

How much time will we have left when the countdown resumes?

Approximately

that gives us plenty of time to get out of here

after we've got Thor.

I know Thor was a friend,

but this is a Goa'uld mothership.

If we allow it to blow up,

there'll be nothing left to salvage.

Jack, this ship is never going to fly again.

I'd say having the supreme commander of the asgard fleet

owe you one is more valuable.

Yeah.

All right. Next mothership we keep, okay?

Jonas, take Davis and Jacob back to the sub.

Wait for us there.

Colonel, I'd like to assist major Carter...

Jonas...

I'll take them back to the sub.

Thank you.

Here he is.

You sure you got all of him in there?

He's a smart guy, you know.

The self-destruct has been reactivated.

Let's go.

This door should not be closed.

Dang.

The corridor must have flooded.

Jacob...

Yeah, what's going on?

Our exit is blocked.

We need another way around.

Jack, all the other passageways into that section

were already flooded.

There is no other way around.

Jack, I'm going back to the peltac,

see if can figure something out.

Negative. Get that sub to a safe distance.

We'll think of something.

Understood.

I've got nothing.

How are you doing?

Sir, there's only one other way off this level.

The glider bays.

We can do that?

I have no idea.

Okay.

This ship's self-destruct has been activated.

We need to get the dsrv as far away as possible.

Jack, we're at the sub. What's your status?

Here's our plan, Jacob.

We're going to take a couple of gliders.

Jack, a glider isn't designed

to operate underwater.

It's our only shot.

Uh, all right, all right.

Um, you'll have to activate the compartment's force field

to stop the flooding.

Now, those systems went off-line after the crash.

I know. I'm trying to reroute the power.

What is it? Glider bays have force fields

that allow ships to go in and out

without having to depressurize the compartment.

If she can't get it on-line,

she won't be able to open the doors

without flooding the hangar.

Right.

Sam?

Jacob, I want you to get that sub

to a minimum safe distance.

Understood.

Let's go.

There's an auxiliary control panel on this deck.

I can reroute the power from there.

How do you know?

Because I've gone over these schematics of these motherships

a dozen times, and I'm a very quick study.

Yeah? Well, where is it?

Don't wait for me.

Now, Jonas...

No pressure, Carter.

Plenty of time.

On the contrary, O'Neill.

Lots and lots of time.

Yes, sir.

Jack?

Jacob, will you please get out of here?

We are, but Jonas went off

totry to get the force field on-line

from a relay panel on this deck.

Listen... good luck.

Okay...

What did he say?

We are being advised that in approximately seven minutes,

the ship will be destroyed.

Ah. See?

Plenty of time.

This terminal isn't tied into the primary system.

I can't reroute the power from here.

The force field just came on-line.

Nice.

It wasn't me.

Jonas.

Okay.

Wait!

Wait!

Did it work?

We're about to find out.

Powering engines...

Listen, if we don't survive this,

thanks.

You're welcome.

Opening glider bay doors.

Nice.

Hang on.

Everybody all right?

Yes, sir. We're fine.

This is Jacob.

We're a little seasick down here,

but we're in one piece, too.

Glad to hear it.

What about Jonas?

All members of SG-1

present and accounted for.

Teal'c, take lead.

Are you smiling?

First time in a death glider.

Oh. Well...
