Original subtitles

Previously on stargate SG-1...

Sarah...

Daniel.

We could have ended it better than we did.

Maybe.

Sarah?

Are you happy, Sam?

What?

You deserve to love someone.

Maybe it's not me that's the problem here.

I'm a safe bet.

Don't lose that tablet. It talks about a lost city.

It's more valuable than anything.

Are you saying the ancients actually lost

one of their own cities? No, they didn't lose it.

They made it lost to other people

that might try to find it.

So the lost city is still lost.

The amulet is likely from the 12th dynastic period.

Inlay and markings suggest the royal house of amenemhet.

Possibly a gift from the king's immediate family

to commemorate a birth or coming of age, or...

It's for luck.

Royal goldsmiths made them for the king

in the hope that the flood waters

would rise again in the nile,

granting them a bountiful crop.

Good guess.

Dr. Jordan sent me a picture a few weeks ago.

I suppose I had a bit of a head start.

Oh, I'm Sarah gardner.

Is that seat taken?

Well, no, but there are plenty of other empty...

Tables.

Yeah, but none of them have single,

beautiful women sitting at them.

Well, thank you, but how do you know I'm single?

There's no ring on your finger.

I could have a boyfriend.

You're having coffee by yourself at 7:30 in the morning.

You're very observant.

I'm a cop.

Well, then, I feel compelled to warn you...

Most of the guys I've dated recently have died.

As in? Dead.

How?

Various circumstances.

I'll risk it.

How about dinner tonight? My motel room.

Your motel room?

Yeah, I'm in town from Denver on a case.

We'll order room service, open a box of wine...

A box?

Something with a duck on the front.

Stop it, Pete.

What are you talking about? I'm on a roll here.

I... haven't even shown you my badge yet.

Aw... and I've got to go.

Oh, come on, Sam. Call in sick.

Spend the day with me. We'll go to the zoo.

There's no zoo in Colorado Springs.

Bowling... there must be a bowling alley

around here somewhere.

I have to work.

Can't the world wait one day for more deep-space telemetry?

Have you seen how much deep space there is out there?

I'll see you tonight.

It jams the frequencies the Goa'uld use for communication

and the remote control of devices

like the ring transporters.

Right now, we're working on making it portable enoughto...

At least pretend that it's interesting.

No, it was very interesting. Please, go on.

Are you tired? You think?

I had the weirdest dream last night. About what?

Working with Sarah back in Chicago.

You know, before the Stargate program.

How is that weird?

Ah, things were all mixed up.

My hair was different. You know.

Well...

No offense, Daniel, but it's not like

you don't have some issues to work out.

Oh yeah.

Maybe you should talk to someone. I thought I was.

Colonel...

Carter.

Coffee. Talk to you later, okay?

Humming?

I am? You are.

Sorry.

What's his name?

Now, why... Humming.

Pete. Pete.

Pete shanahan. He's a cop.

Speeding again, are we?

From Denver. He's a friend of my brother's.

A setup? Pathetic, I know.

No, it's great. Really?

Isn't it?

Well, it's not serious or anything.

And yet, it is... Hum-worthy.

Sir...

Now, Carter, it's none of my business.

I'm just happy you're happy

about something other than...

Quarks.

Not bad with the quarks. Excellent.

Bit uncomfortable, isn't it? Yeah, a bit.

Good luck. Thank you, sir.

Good morning.

Hmm? Hello.

Oh, sorry. I didn't hear you come in.

I mean, um, how are you? Fine.

Yeah. Are you settling in?

Well, except for want of a decent cup of tea,

I'm in heaven.

That's good to hear.

You know, I must have read

everything you've ever published.

Everything? Yes.

What a waste of time.

Please, your theories on the hyksos ruling dynasty

are truly groundbreaking,

if a little audacious.

I found them quite inspiring.

In fact, I referenced them in my doctoral thesis at Cambridge.

You must have failed.

I just hope I can live up to such talented company.

Well, no, I'm sure if you're here, then you have...

You are...

Stop. The flattery is overwhelming.

I... I should let you continue.

I'm going to continue.

You know, know this good place for coffee.

No. I'm sure they serve tea.

I'd like that, Dr. Jackson.

Daniel.

Daniel...

You know, I can't tell you

how much I've looked forward to being here with you,

being able to pick your brain, and...

That was great. Yeah, it was okay.

I mean, the company was fine. Oh, come on,

how could you not like singin' in the rain?

I guess I've always been more of a Fred Astaire fan.

It's a classic.

There, lady.

I believe the term "classic"

is reserved for the likes of the French connection,

dirty Harry, serpico. Cop movies.

What's your point? This was romantic.

Watching a man dance around in the rain with an umbrella?

Just because there were no guns or car chases... or nudity.

Yeah, well, your chances of that

are slim to none now, buddy.

Have I ever told you what a good dancer I am?

You know, my case down here wraps up tomorrow.

Does that mean you're heading back to Denver?

Actually, I called my captain and said,

"I don't care" if crime is running rampant up there.

"I met this woman, this amazing person,

"and we've got this thing going on."

And what did he say?

Get your ass back here or you're fired.

Too bad.

I'm lying.

I told him I'm taking two weeks' vacation.

Truths, Colorado Springs is very...

Underrated.

Pete...

And it was going so well...

It is.

But...

It's getting late.

It's 7:00.

I have to get up really early.

To go to work.

Right.

Which involves long, arduous hours

of you looking into a telescope.

Right.

Sam, have I mentioned I'm a cop?

I interrogate people for a living.

Are you saying you don't believe me?

Is this all going too fast for you?

Because I could back off.

Give you five or ten minutes.

I'll call you.

Have I left yet?

I can't feel my legs.

Thank you.

A little human contact first,

if you please.

Was that so hard?

I'll live.

You've been here all night, haven't you?

Is it morning already?

I've got something for you.

Where did you get this?

It was found during an expedition

in Morocco last month.

An associate of mine sent it to me

for analysis.

No one's quite sure what to make of it.

I took the Liberty of running a carbon dating.

It's over 10,000 years old.

That's impossible.

The lack of writings in the pyramids themselves,

the inconclusive dating on several artifacts

found at the Henderson dig...

Are you saying this proves that there existed a language on earth

that predates all hieroglyphics?

I thought you might enjoy the challenge.

Daniel?

I recognize this.

How could you?

Well, believe it or not, medieval Latin is a derivative.

We can use it as a reference point.

Daniel, how could you possibly know that?

I don't know.

I just do.

This makes no sense.

Maybe you should eat something.

Did I mention in the dream, the tablet was written in ancient,

and in the dream I could read ancient?

Well, that's not so odd,

considering you can also do that when you're awake.

Perhaps you are attempting to reveal something to yourself.

Like? Like something from when you were ascended.

Such as your prior vision of bra'tac and ry'ac in danger.

The tablet sounds a lot like the one you found on abydos.

That was to lead to the lost city of the ancients.

But didn't.

You think that somehow I know the location of the lost city

and I just don't remember?

If you have the dream again,

perhaps you should translate the tablet.

I thought you might need a break.

Wow.

This is really nice.

I mean, uh...

I don't really deserve you, do I?

No.

Hungry?

Actually, I can't remember the last time I ate.

How's it going?

I'm so close.

I think I found a basic structure to the whole thing.

Really?

It's about guidance.

Now, at first, I thought that meant

some sort of spiritual guidance,

but I was wrong about that.

Here.

Look.

Something about a starting point or place of origin.

The steps of a great journey leading to...

What?

Leading to what?

A city, a place of great power.

It's a map

telling us how to find a city

where an ancient race of humans once lived.

See, I know what the tablet is supposed to say.

I just can't seem to finish translating it.

Perhaps the location of the lost city

was not the answer you were searching for in your mind after all.

Since I now require sleep,

I have developed an interest

in the concept of dreams.

There is much research to study on the matter.

Okay, Sigmund, what are my dreams about?

Since your friend, Sarah, was taken as a host by osiris,

you have been unable to save her.

Perhaps that is the focus of your subconscious desires.

You think something I knew when I was ascended can help?

Most often, dreams are merely the mind's way

of dealing with desires that cannot be fulfilled.

So basically I'm destined never to get a good night's sleep again?

Knowing your past experiences, Daniel Jackson,

I do not know how you have slept well before now.

Thank you, Teal'c.

This conversation has been disturbing on many levels.

Up enough?

I, uh...

What?

I'll take that as a yes.

Are those for me?

Yeah.

It's the other 11...

The one I left before makes a dozen.

I get it.

They're beautiful. Thank you.

Can I open them now? No.

How about now? No.

Now? No.

Can I open them now? Would you stop?

How about now? No.

Okay, now.

What do you think?

I think we're going to get noticed.

Come on.

This is great.

It's nice to know people still stay together no matter what,

isn't it?

I can't do this.

And what's the matter?

I'm just going around in circles.

I can't find any references

that relate to this passage.

Doorways?

What? The origin of doorways.

How do you know that?

It makes sense, doesn't it?

Yeah, but how do you know that?

Daniel, it's all there.

You just need to relax.

Oh, no. What?

We were supposed to have dinner tonight.

Two months, right?

I'm so sorry. I totally forgot.

Why didn't you remind me? It's all right.

It's too late now.

I understand.

If it was that important to me, I would have said something.

You don't mind?

Of course not.

You're supposed to leave.

What are you talking about?

I not going anywhere.

Daniel, your research is going to change the world.

You're a brilliant mind.

I don't want to stand in the way of that.

I want to be a part of it.

I am, however,

going to order us a pizza.

Get back to work.

So do you want to come in?

I don't know.

Seeing the inside of your house...

That's apretty big step.

Suit yourself.

I'm just saying, right now, you're pretty much perfect.

What if it turns out you're really messy,

or worse, you're a neat-freak weirdo

with labeled drawers and an alphabetized bookshelf?

Okay, I'm coming.

Wow.

Just don't look at the bookshelf. Okay.

So why'd you become a cop?

I watched too much TV as a kid.

Adam-12,

Starsky and Hutch, Barney Miller.

Barney Miller?

That was my favorite show.

Those guys never shot anybody,

they never beat anybody up.

That's it?

What do you think?

Every cop out there has an inspirational story?

It's just a job, Sam.

I don't think so.

Not for you...

And Mark told me you had a story.

Oh. Bastard.

Never date your buddy's sister.

He didn't tell me what it was.

It's no big deal.

I had a bit of a rough time when I was growing up.

Truth is,

I probably would have ended up in jail

if it wasn't for this one particular cop

who took an interest.

He really made a difference in my life,

and I admired that.

It's an admirable job.

Well, my ex-wife didn't think so.

Did you ever see the episode where Barney comes home

and all his stuff is on the front lawn

with divorce papers stapled on top?

No.

I didn't blame her.

The hours suck, and you never know if...

I didn't have a choice.

It's who I am.

I can understand that.

Really?

Deep-space telemetry is who you are?

I wish I could tell you more.

You don't trust me.

I'm not allowed.

Where are you going?

I've got to drive back to Denver today and file my report.

Pete...

Aside from getting into huge trouble myself,

I could be putting you in danger.

Oh, now you're trying to tell me

that joke about your boyfriends all ending up dead

is true?

Pete, please...

The problem is

I feel like I've just scratched the surface with you, Sam.

How can we have a future together

if you won't share your life with me?

Federal bureau of investigation.

How may I direct your call?

Special agent farrity, please.

I'll transfer you now.

Please hold.

Farrity.

Dave, it's Pete.

Hey, shanny. What up, buddy?

I'm in Colorado Springs on a case right now,

and I need a favor, man.

Can you do a background check on someone for me?

Top down, global agency search, the works?

Sure thing. Who is it?

An air force major.

Samantha Carter.

The only thing I don't have is a gate address.

There are still a few passages

I haven't been able to translate.

Do you think you can?

I don't know.

I mean, it's like I'm not in control,

like I'm just along for the ride,

watching the whole thing unfold.

The strange thing is none of it's right.

Please elaborate, Daniel Jackson.

I was an idiot.

Sarah was in love with me,

and I guess I had feelings for her, too,

but my obsession with my research destroyed our relationship.

She finally broke it off with me

when worked through our anniversary.

The Sarah I'm dreaming about now is, like, totally different.

It's like she cares about my work as much as I do,

like she wants me to find the lost city as much as I do.

Sounds like a normal male fantasy to me.

Did you not say that Sarah

introduced the tablet to you

during one of the dreams?

Yeah.

And that you feel you have no control of the dreams?

Yeah.

Teal'c?

The Goa'uld possess the technology to explore one's memory.

You're suggesting osiris is here on earth

manipulating Dr. Jackson's dreams?

We thinkit's possible, sir.

Kinky.

She's looking for the location of the lost city

in my subconscious. I'm sure of it now.

She's using the implanted image of an ancient tablet

to help me figure it out.

Osiris can access Sarah's memories

and use them to more easily gain Daniel Jackson's trust.

How is she doing it?

We're speculating

that she's sneaking into Daniel's house at night

and using some sort of modified memory device.

Anubis once probed Thor's mind.

In doing so, they would have gained access

to asgard beaming technology.

That would certainly allow her to come and go undetected.

Why go to all that trouble?

Why not just snatch up Dr. Jackson

and use a mind probe on him the way they did with Thor?

It's possible Anubis mind probe won't work on the subconscious.

It might have to do with how oma erased my memories

of when I was ascended.

This may be the best way

to get Daniel Jackson to unknowingly help them learn

what they wish to know.

So what do we do?

The Goa'uld are scavengers of alien technology.

They would most likely interface any asgard system

with their own command device.

We're hoping the jamming device we've been working on

could prevent osiris from using the beam technology

to escape Daniel's room.

You want to set atrap.

Yes, but we don't want to spring it

until after she's helped me remember the location of the lost city.

What?

Look, no one wants to save Sarah more than I dq,

but, I mean, I could know.

I mean, it could be there in my subconscious.

We have to let her think

she's still operating without our knowledge,

at least until I've had the chance to try to finish this.

And how are we supposed to know

when you know if it's all happening in your head

while you're sleeping?

I don't know.

You'd better figure it out.

We can't risk letting osiris escape

with that kind of information.

Shanahan.

Hey, buddy, it's me.

I got what you wanted.

Just give me the highlights.

Well, there's a lot of backstop I.D.

Works for the air force,

does "deep-space telemetry for NORAD."

Is that all you found?

Actually, it's what didn't turn up

that says the most.

The backstop dead-ends.

She's been scrubbed?

Yeah, someone went into the system

and wiped out every possible trace of her.

Left only what they want others to see.

She's probably connected with some top-level stuff.

Like?

Black ops, covert units,

things the government denies all knowledge of.

You know what I'm saying?

Look, Pete, you ask me,

this major Carter is connected to something big.

You might want to back off on this one, okay, buddy?

It's way out of your league.

Hey, it's not like I'm dating her or anything.

Right.

Hello? Hi. It's me...

This is Pete. I'm probably chasing a bad guy.

Leave a message.

So what do we got?

Daniels at his house with ateam

setting up video surveillance.

Teal'c's picking out his doughnuts.

He loves a good stakeout.

The jamming device has been installed

in the surveillance Van.

It should prevent osiris from beaming herself out.

We're taking her down with these?

She likely has a personal shield,

but we know that a tranquilizer dart will get through.

At that point,

we hope the tok'ra can safely remove the symbiote

and save Sarah.

What about this whole lost city deal?

We watch and see.

Once in his room,

osiris won't be able to leave.

It's just a question of us getting to her

before she realizes she's been made.

Backup?

Local authorities have been notified,

but we don't want to do anything to alert osiris.

How's Pete?

You know how it is.

Usually, you don't let it bother you

because you know they couldn't cope with the truth anyway.

Usually.

I think he could have.

Hey, Daniel?

Daniel, you sleeping yet?

Yes, Jack, I'm fast asleep.

What do you got there?

No, I'll pass.

Here we go.

Activating frequency jamming.

Let's dot.

Carter...

She's still there, sir.

How long do we wait?

I don't know. Daniel must be getting close.

Progress? Not really.

I'm still convinced

these symbols represent the location of the city.

Like an address? Yeah.

Yeah, there are seven of them.

They don't translate into anything specific.

You're so close. No, I am not.

Don't say that, Daniel.

They mean nothing to me.

You've worked too hard to give up now.

I don't know.

I never knew.

How unfortunate for you.

Move in! Move in!

Sam...

Pete, what are you...

Get down!

Holy...

Will you be all right, Daniel Jackson? Yeah. Go, go, go.

It's no use, Pete! Yeah. Why is that?

Now, that is not normal.

Look out!

Clear!

You okay?

I'm okay.

Are you okay? Yeah.

That's good.

Oh, god. Pete, you've been hit.

Have I?

Carter!

It's Pete.

He needs an ambulance.

Just hang in there, okay?

Sam...

What just happened?

I promise, if you make it through this,

I will explain everything.

Deal.

It's all right. You're safe.

Daniel?

I'm here.

It's all over.

You're free.

I'm so sorry.

It's not your fault.

I couldn't stop it.

We're going to get you through this.

Hey...

They treating you okay?

Yeah.

Who would have thought

there was a hospital under Cheyenne mountain?

One of the best anywhere.

This place is unbelievable.

You have no idea.

Thanks.

I believe I lived up to my end of the bargain.

What I'm about totell you is classified

under section 11-C-9

of the national security act.

Chicks with laser-beam rings and glowing eyes

are classified under 11-C-9?

Let me talk, will you?

Okay.

You're currently in atop-secret military facility

known as Stargate command.

In 1928 in giza, Egypt,

archaeologists unearthed an ancient device

capable of instantaneous transportation

to other planets by means of a subspace wormhole.

I knew it!

This is way better than a box of wine

with a duck on the front.

I'm not kidding.

Sorry.

Other planets. Wormholes.

Continue.
