"Beware the destroyers."
That's what the message said.

These are the coordinates the Goa'uld
will launch their attack from.

It was a warning.
Or so your vision foretells.

No, it wasn't a vision
or a dream or a hallucination.

It was real.

Now I know this is hard for you guys
to believe, but I swear to you...

the entire time you thought I
had disappeared on P3R-233...

I was experiencing
an alternate reality.

And you were there and you were there
and there's no place like home.

As a matter of fact,
you were there.

Daniel, it's not that
we don't believe you.

So you do?
No, it's just that...

we don't believe you.

Jack, this is very important.

When you were in this alternate
reality, were there differences?

Yes.

Teal'c was leading the attack on Earth.
I wasn't even part of the program.

You and Jack were engaged
to be married.

Excuse me?
What?

Even if you did actually experience
this alternate reality...

doesn't the fact there were differences
mean we won't face the same fate?

Yes, but the defining event--
the death of Ra--

took place in both worlds.

An attack of retribution.

Yes.

And the same thing is gonna
happen here unless we stop it.

All right. Wait a minute. Let
me get something straight here.

Engaged?

It is theoretically possible.

It's against regulations.

I'm talking physics, sir.

The whole concept of alternate realities
-entire alternate universes--

was predicted by Einstein.

I thought you might
all be here.

How's our boy? He's gonna
be just fine, General.

Major Samuels.

That's Lieutenant Colonel
Samuels now, Captain.

I beg your pardon, sir.
Congratulations.

Thank you.
You'll always be Sparky to me.

CARTER: I thought you'd been
transferred to the Pentagon.

I was.
Stargate mission analysis.

I'm here today, of course,
for the hearing.

Hearing?

Senator Kinsey?
The Stargate program?

I thought you were
gonna testify.

They will. SG-1 just returned
from a mission last night.

I haven't had the chance
to inform them.

Well, perhaps I shouldn't
say too much more.

Cut the crap, Samuels.
What's going on?

Senator Kinsey has taken a great
deal of interest in the program.

Thus far, he hasn't
liked what he's seen.

Sorry to hear that.

As you should be, Colonel.

It could mean the end
of the Stargate.

The hearing's at 1400 hours.

I look forward to
seeing you all there.

Yes, sir, I understand.
We'll fight the good fight.

General, politics isn't
my strong suit, but...

doesn't president
outrank senator?

Senator Kinsey is chairman of
the appropriations committee.

He's demanded to know...

what's behind the line item the
Pentagon refers to as Area 52.

That would be the Stargate.

An unofficial project...

that just happens to cost $7.4
billion a year to operate.

The president and the joint
chiefs thought if they granted...

the senator the
appropriate clearances--

let him in on the existence
of the SGC...

he'd recognize its national security
worth and authorize the expenditure.

I take it he didn't.

The idea backfired.

After reading your mission reports and
being fully briefed by Samuels...

the senator decided the SGC will receive
no further funding from the treasury.

That effectively
shuts us down.

Very effectively.

Cost nearly a billion dollars
just to turn the lights on here.

How about a bake sale?

Yard sale? Garage?

This is what I look like when
I'm not laughing, Colonel.

Car wash?

I'm sorry, sir.

It's just I don't get it. How
does one man get that much power?

The Constitution
of the United States.

The issue of our worth could be
debated openly in the senate...

but not without making the
Stargate known to the public.

The president doesn't believe
the time for that has come.

I agree with him.

Well, he's late.

You seem more apprehensive of this
hearing than you are of battle.

I prefer battle,
actually.

I'm sure once we tell him that
Earth's future is at stake--

Let's just keep
the alternate reality story...

as our little ace in the hole,
shall we?

Why?

Just because.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I apologize.

A certain congressman
who will go nameless...

just does not know how to
take "no" for an answer.

So this is the infamous SG-1.

Infamous.
Yes, sir.

Colonel Jack O'Neill.

Colonel, I've heard
a lot about you.

Don't believe a word of it, Senator.
I'm actually a nice guy.

And this must be the drain
through which the money flows.

I know you have
a very busy schedule, Senator.

Yes, of course,
General Hammond.

Please, be seated.

Let me see.
Colonel O'Neill.

Captain Carter.

Dr. Jackson.

Teal'c.

With an apostrophe,
I understand.

Let me first say that though
illness robbed me of the chance...

ever to serve in the military, I have
the greatest respect for those who do.

Especially those who have made service
of country their life's work.

As I have, in my own way.

There is no more
honorable vocation.

Thank you, Senator.
I couldn't agree more.

Having said that, I wanna make
one thing abundantly clear.

lam by nature suspicious
of all things secretive--

be they in the government or
inside the military service.

I believe that which grows in shadow
but withers in the light of day...

does not belong on the vine.

I've read several reports
of your excursion.

Colonel Samuels has been kind
enough to brief me on the Stargate.

And I have tried to
maintain an open mind.

I must admit that I find the
very idea of this facility-

of this command--
offensive.

It is far too dangerous
to be this secretive.

I have found many examples where you've
averted tragedy on a global scale...

by the skin of your teeth
and virtually none...

where you have brought back
anything of worth.

However...

since I have on occasion
been wrong before...

the President
of the United States...

has asked me to hear you out.

So here I am.

As long as you've
got an open mind.

Colonel.

For crying out loud, Samuels,
what'd you tell this man?

The truth.

Colonel Samuels was
entirely nonpartisan.

Now that's impossible.

He's been against this program
from day one.

If anything, I voiced my awe and
amazement at what the Stargate is-

a technological marvel.

It is so much more
than that, Senator.

The Stargate represents a giant step
in our understanding of the universe.

We have learned more about
astrophysics in these...

few months
than in the last 50 years.

It also gives us insights
into human cultures...

that are thousands
of years old.

Dr. Jackson, I'm sure as a
scholar of ancient mythology...

you are familiar
with the story of Pandora.

From Greek mythology,
of course.

The first woman ever created by
Zeus, who according to legend...

gave her a box and warned her
never to open it.

But she did.
Out of curiosity.

Despite the warning of her god,
who was also her father, she did.

And from it sprung all the plagues,
pestilence and evil that exist now.

And keeping in mind that we
are talking about a myth...

she closed it in time
to keep "hope" inside.

Then should we not close your
gate for the same reason--

to keep "hope" inside?

Senator,
if I may jump in here.

I'm not as slick as you guys
talking in metaphors here.

I'm a military man.

I prefer facts.

And the fact is, the Gate...

i.e., the box,
is already open.

Now what's done is done.

We made ourselves an enemy
by killing Ra.

But the threat the Goa'ulds
now represent--

Threat?
Yes, sir.

As in "threatening."

The word "threat,"
Colonel O'Neill...

has been used far too often
by this country's military...

as a justification for expenditures
that we can no longer afford.

Do you know how much
this program costs?

Sevenish.

Seven billion, four hundred
and seven million dollars.

Give or take.

Per year.

With all due respect,
Senator...

the accounting department is
up on level three, I believe.

But if you wanna talk about maintaining
the first line of defense...

against what I believe...

is the greatest enemy
humanity has ever faced.

Hyperbole.
See for yourself!

General, I suggest we dial up
old P4A 771, I believe it was.

See how long the good senator
lasts in that world.

I have spent a career listening
to doomsayers in uniform.

Let us build
our billion-dollar machine...

and we will save America from
the barbarians at the gate.

Let me remind you
that the Cold War is over.

And let me tell you something.

This time there really are barbarians.
They're called Goa'ulds.

And they really are
at the gate! That one!

Then I suggest we close it.

Senator, we believe the Goa'ulds
are about to launch an attack...

in force in ships.

Then I think they'll regret taking
on the United States military.

Oh, for God's sake.
You're right.

We'll just upload a computer
virus into the mother ship.

If they come in ships, we
won't be any match for them.

At their level of technology,
they can wipe us out from orbit.

I'm not convinced of that.

They speak the truth.

I'm not entirely convinced
of that either.

General, what are we doing here?
He's made up his mind.

Sit down, Colonel.

When I've made up my mind,
you will know it!

I will ask you once more.

Sit down.

Please.

Colonel.

I gave the president my word I
would give you a fair hearing...

and I intend to do that.

He held you
and your team up...

as a shining example of the
fine work the SGC is doing.

Now...

do you stand by SG-1's record?

Yes, I do.

Then let’s just go through it,
shall we?

Thank you.

On February 10 of this year...

you along with a team led by
Major Charles Kawalsky...

went through the Stargate
on a reconnaissance mission--

Excuse me, Senator.

Samuels, could I
get a copy of that?

You wrote this report.

I just want
a little reference.

To repeat--

On February 10 of this year...

you along with a team led by
Major Charles Kawalsky...

went through the Stargate
on a reconnaissance mission...

to rescue both Dr. Jackson's
wife and her brother...

and to determine
the "Goauld" threat.

Excuse me, Senator, sorry.

There should be an apostrophe
after the "A" before the

It's pronounced.
Goa'uld.

I assume since shortly after arriving,
you were captured and imprisoned...

that you would characterize this
world as an enemy stronghold.

I would.

I read from the personal report
of Colonel Jack O'Neill...

dated the 23rd of February.

"Skaara was chosen. I tried to
stop them from taking him away...

but was struck
by an alien staff weapon.

In that moment,
Apophis gave the order--"

Kill the rest.

(ALL SCREAMING)

I can save these people!

He'll? me!

Help me.

Many have said that.

But you are the first
I believe could do it.

Get out of the way!

Let's move!

Come on!

CARTER: Go, go, move! Go!

There you go. Go.

So even with your team unarmed,
at the enemy's mercy...

in the palm of their hands,
as it were...

one of their own
was able to set you free.

It wasn't that simple,
Senator.

Read on, please.

"We met heavy resistance...

on our return to the Stargate and
became pinned down by enemy aircraft."

Take cover!

(YELLING)

Colonel,
we're sitting ducks here.

It seems to me that Major
Kawalsky made light work...

of what you referred to in your
report as a "Death Glider."

They were taken by surprise.

I wouldn't expect it to
be as easy next time.

Why not?

For one, they weren't used to fighting
humans with our level of technology.

Now they know what we have.

I don't think you understand how much
more powerful their weapons are.

Yet you managed to get away
with minimal casualties.

Hardly the greatest threat
humanity has ever faced.

(IRIS ENGAGING)

What's happening?

It’s just SG-2 returning
on schedule, Senator.

There's nothing
to worry about.

I disagree, General.

I think it is something
to worry about.

Mr. Kinsey seems to be under the
impression that the Goa'uld...

are not a military threat.

You seem to have defeated them
handily at every turn.

Did you read
all the reports, sir?

They actually killed us once.

(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Colonel!

If Goa'uld technology can generate
energy shields around individuals...

they can do the same thing
with whole armies.

And ships.

And have you ever seen
one of these "ships"?

Yes, sir.

It is the ship of the Goa'uld
Nerti- an enemy of Apophis.

What the hell is that?

We must go.

We must get
to the Stargate.

No argument from me.

This Goa'uld Nerti, he once
sent an emissary of peace...

to negotiate a treaty concerning a
Stargate Apophis had taken control of.

The negotiation was a ploy.

The Stargate was destroyed.

Take your time.
No hurry.

You escaped, Colonel.

On foot, I might add.

Just one of these Goa'uld
ships was responsible...

for the deaths of SG-7 and
the entire local population.

And that's over 1,000 people.

The point is, sir...

we have seen how the Goa'uld have
destroyed entire civilizations.

Hello?

What are you?

Energy. Unity.
You would describe me thus.

You asked for help.

If I remain here...

my energy will disintegrate.

I must return.

Why did you not speak before?

Feat

Fear of what?

The Goa'uld came to our planet
long ago.

We were not afraid then,
and we tried to greet them.

One of them touched us
as you did...

and was destroyed
by our energy.

The Goa'ulds must have come
through the gate exploring.

That's why it was afraid.
We look just like them.

One of the Goa'ulds
was killed?

They gathered all the unity
in one place and ended it.

We confirmed Goa'uld
energy weapons did it.

Then that pit wasn't a ceremonial
place at all. It was some kind of...

mass grave.

I'd call that a threat.

Admittedly, these Goa'uld
are a dangerous race.

More dangerous than you
could possibly know.

(SCOFFING)

If they're so strong, why did you
switch sides in the first place?

Because what is right cannot
be measured by strength.

Your world values freedom.

I wish that very same freedom
for my people.

I don't wanna appear callous, sir,
but I believe that's your problem.

Not ours.

It will soon be yours
as well, Senator Kinsey.

For the Goa'uld are as
powerful as they are evil.

The Goa'uld have enslaved
a galaxy of worlds--

I don't care
about other worlds.

I must place the citizens
of this country first.

Then you would be wise to heed
our warning, Senator Kinsey.

For when the Goa'uld finally do
come in force, and they will...

your citizens as the strongest, most
powerful country of this world...

will be among
the first to die.

On your return
from the Chulak mission...

Major Kawalsky became infested
with a Goa'uld parasite, correct?

That's correct.

He very nearly destroyed
this facility.

(GROANING)

(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

You cannot pass.

What? He set the
coordinates for Chulak.

(SHOUTS)

HAMMOND: He set the auto-destruct
sequence on a failsafe device.

How'd he have the code?
I don't know.

I need two officers to
override it, and you're it.

That did it.
Open the blast doors.

Hold him there!

Shut it down...

“OW!

We stopped him.
Yes, you did.

On that occasion, with the loss
of a fine officer, you did.

But consider the myriad plagues you
could bring back through Stargate.

Reason enough to
shut it down forever.

Colonel Samuels?

I quote now from the official
report of General Hammond...

dated March of this year...

concerning a dangerous disease brought
back by 56-1 from another world.

I'm afraid I have
a serious situation here.

It appears we've brought a very
contagious disease through Stargate.

Yes, sir, that's right.

I've sealed the mountain off, but you
should order in an armored division...

to set up a second line
of defense.

My recommendation is that anyone
attempting to leave the mountain...

should be shot on sight...

and their body burned.

(DOOR OPENING)

Sorry, Colonel O'Neill, but your
private room just became semiprivate.

We're running out of places to put all
the victims. We've used the brigs...

the temp quarters,
some of the storage rooms.

(WHISPERS) Good luck, Doc.

Did you say something?

Give more--
What?

Give more what?

An injection?

You mean you want
more sedative?

You've had more than
the maximum safe dosage.

Twice as much as anyone else
because you've been more violent.

Give.
No.

It's not safe.

Give!

Why are you so insistent?

Must have been
in a lot of pain.

Doc!

Colonel O'Neill?

It's...

me.

So you are still
in there somewhere.

A dream. A dream.

I'm afraid not, Colonel.
It's very real.

This is interesting. Enough sedative
must knock back the primitive mind.

Listen. I am not gonna be able to
keep you at this level very long.

It is too dangerous. It could
cause permanent brain damage.

What--

What is it?
It's a parasitic virus.

All we can tell is that it seems to
mess with all the body chemicals.

Testosterone levels skyrocket,
thus the aggressive behavior.

It's a histaminolytic which
means it breaks down histamine.

Experiment on me.

Experiment on you?

No, sir. I can't do that.

We saved an entire race of people.
I'd call that a success, sir.

But if you hadn't been able
to find a cure so readily...

if it had reached
the general population...

if the effects
weren't reversible--

Colonel O'Neill...

you very nearly died on yet another
occasion when infected by-

Nanocytes, sir.

Carter's coming back.

Welcome back, Captain.

So what did you find out?

Come on now. Don't keep the
elderly waiting. It's rude.

It isn't a virus.

What is it?

Dr. Frasier and I came up empty.
She's still working on it.

But it's gonna take time.

Time is something these
people don't have, Captain.

Nor do I.

Colonel,
there's something else.

Your blood sample showed way more
organisms compared to the Argosians.

How many more?

Maybe on the level
of a hundred times more.

And they are multiplying.

Cut to it, Captain.

At the rate you're changing...

by the end of two weeks, you'll be
the equivalent of 100 years old.

We've given the nanocyte some
live tissue to interact with...

but they aren't touching it.

The only thing they appear to
do is make more of themselves.

So how are they causing
the aging on Argos?

Maybe there's something on Argos they
need to make them do another task.

Something in the air
or with the food.

Is there a problem?
I don't know!

It's eating
through the rubber.

Oh, God!

FRAISER: What?

What is it?
They're trying to spread.

CARTER: We're working with computer
simulations and practical simulations.

Realistically, sir, I'm
afraid it might take years.

JACKSON: The general says that Gate
travel to Argos is off-limits...

for the next few millennia.

But we can send objects through,
so if you need anything...

just call.

Say something.

Colonel, I've learned
very much from you.

Thank you.

You know,
good-byes really suck.

(REWINDING)

As I understand it, you almost
lost containment, Captain Carter.

Yes. They tried to
mutate in the lab.

After the incident, the general ordered
samples of the nanocyte destroyed.

And what about next time?
There won't be a next time.

The nanocytes, the transmitter,
everything that...

tampered with the population of
that world has been destroyed.

In fact, SG-2 just made contact with
Kynthia's planet a few weeks ago.

They're living long, productive
lives because of us.

lam very proud
of what we did there.

I might even retire there.

You have no fear of it, do you, Colonel?
It's like a game to you.

No, sir.

Anything as powerful as the
Stargate deserves respect.

We know how dangerous it is
to do what we do.

We also know
how important it is.

Colonel O'Neill, you're
like reckless children...

and you're playing
with fire.

If you shut down this program
now, when it's needed most--

For what?

To gather technology,
weapons--

Not at this price
or this level of competence.

My people are the best
out there, Senator.

I'm sorry, General,
but your best...

is not good enough.

I do not approve of
nor support this endeavor.

And I have heard nothing here
today that would change my mind.

I intend to shut
the Stargate down.

Senator, please, listen to me.
I think he's made up his mind.

You want your one reason,
I'll give it to you.

What if I told you I knew
they were coming in ships?

What if I said that a ship larger
than the great pyramids...

was gonna land on top of this mountain
in a matter of weeks, maybe days?

Then I would be curious to know why you
waited till this moment to say this.

Because I didn't think
anyone would believe me.

And if I didn't live through it
myself, I wouldn't, but it's a fact.

If you shut us down, you'll have robbed
us of our one chance to stop them.

Where did you learn
this information?

On our last mission.

We came across a civilization with a
level of technology similar to us.

They had been wiped out.
They left behind a warning.

"Beware the destroyers."

Now, along with that warning
came a set of numbers.

Coordinates that indicate where the
Goa'uld attack will be launched from.

And did all of you witness
this warning?

No, sir, they didn't.
Just me.

Sh...

we think Daniel
may have experienced...

an interdimensional transfer
to an alternate reality.

I beg your pardon?

The moment I touched
an alien artifact on 233...

when I was separated from the team,
I was actually transported...

to an alternate reality where Earth
was already under Goa'uld attack.

I got this when I was there.

My heaven.
I've heard enough of this.

Senator, the Goa'uld were
bombarding our cities from space.

We were defenseless
against their weapons.

Dr. Jackson, I do not
suffer fools gladly.

Nor do I, Senator, and I'm telling you,
when we killed Ra two years ago...

we set into motion a chain of
events that will eventually lead...

to an all-out attack on Earth
by the Goa'ulds!

If this is so,
why have they waited?

It would take time for Apophis to
assemble the necessary forces.

Right.

Their society is feudal. It would
take time to build an army.

All I know is the location they are
going to launch the final attack from.

If you don't believe me, let
us dial in the coordinates...

and let us go there
and find out.

How many ships, Dr. Jackson?

Has anyone detected
their approach?

I can't be sure
of the exact details.

There were differences between
that reality and this one.

Of course.
lam not crazy.

Nor am I, Dr. Jackson.

Neither am I unused to 11th hour pleas,
though never have I heard one...

so desperate as this.

Senator, they are coming.

Then I say, let them come.

Where do you get
this bureaucratic bull?

You're talking suicide.

Colonel O'Neill, you
underestimate this great nation.

It is you who underestimates the enemy.
We have challenged Apophis.

He will not rest until the people of
this world worship him as their god.

There is only one God, sir!

And I do not believe
for one moment...

that He would allow what you're
trying to tell me to come to pass.

We are, after all,
one nation under God.

And you think...

God is gonna save us?

The Goa'ulds believe
they are gods.

And your beliefs
will not dissuade them.

If the Goa'uld do come, we
will be able to tell them...

we have buried our gate in the ground
forever and won't step through it again.

If they challenge us,
we shall prevail.

You're a fool.

And if they do not come, which I
think is infinitely more likely...

then at least Pandora's Box will
have finally been closed...

once and for all.

Now,
if you will excuse me...

I have business to attend to.

For what it's worth, I'm sorry
it had to end like this.

Get out of here!

General Hammond...

I would like to request permission
to return through the Stargate...

before it is
permanently sealed.

If this world does not intend to
continue its struggle against Goa'uld...

then here I do not belong.

I think I'm going with him.

I can't allow that, Colonel.
I'm sorry, but you know that.

The president has made it clear if we
were unable to convince the senator...

we would cease operations,
effective immediately.

Sir, there are still
two SG teams off-world.

We'll keep the light on
until they return...

but that's all
I'm authorized to do.

So, what?

That's it?

That's it, Colonel.

It can't be.
With all due respect, sir--

With all due respect,
the good senator is an ass--

He is an elected official of the
government we are sworn to serve.

And whether we agree or disagree,
he's made his decision.

Our commander-in-chief has given
us our orders accordingly.

I expect you all
to carry them out.

Dismissed.
