[Teal'c]Previously
on Stargate SG-1...

Something neither
one of us can admit,

given our working relationship,
our military ranks.

[Jack]| didn't leave

because I care about her...

[Jacob] It's time
to let go of the things

that prevent you
from finding happiness.

You deserve to love someone.

- What's his name?
- Now, why would you...

Humming.

- Pete.
- Pete.

Pete Shanahan, he's a cop.

Oh, my God.

Maybe I did something good
every now and again,

but nothing I've ever done
seems to have changed anything.

There is really only one thing
we can ever truly control.

Whether we are good or evil.

[Anubis] I know you who are,
Daniel Jackson,

but you know not who I am.

No. Don't do this.

- [Jack] Last year, you died.
- I'm dead?

Actually, you ascended
to a higher plane of existence.

[Bra'tac]He was beamed away
before our very eyes.

[Sam]The human-form
Replicator is attempting

to probe your mind as we speak.

When she is done,
she will destroy you.

And when that time comes,

you will be faced with a choice.

A force of rebel Jaffa
have managed

to take control
of the temple at Dakara.

[Anubis]
Have the fleet disengage

their battle
with the Replicators.

Take it back at all cost.

- [Teal'c]We have found the Ancient weapon on Dakara.
- [rumbling]

You think Daniel
had something to do with it?

I don't know.

You have failed me.

We've known for some time
that the Jaffa

cannot be trusted anymore.

The remaining army
of Kull warriors

still stand an excellent chance
of retaking Dakara, but...

Worse than failure.

Worse than cowardice.

You have betrayed me.

Did you not think I would know
what you had done?

How can you still
underestimate my powers?

Your methods
were ultimately unnecessary,

not when there was another way
of defeating the Replicators.

I will spare your life
for the moment,

only so that you may witness
the fruits of your labors.

First,

I will retake Dakara.

Then, thanks
to the modifications

you've made to the stargate,

I will destroy every
living thing in this galaxy,

including you, all at once.

I do not understand.

You could have modified
the stargate yourself.

You have no way of knowing
what is necessary

and what is not
in the grand design.

Whose grand design?

Mine.

[theme music playing]

[Kerry] Okay, yeah. Okay...

Well, that's everything I know.
It's good seeing you.

Sorry, sir. I just saw
you were with someone.

I didn't want to interrupt.

- What's up?
- Who was that?

Um, Kerry Johnson.

- CIA.
- [Sam] I've heard the name.

Oh, she was heading up the investigation
into, uh, Goa'uld still at large

- after the incident with The Trust.
- Yeah.

- Sir, I wanted to talk to you about...
- Carter...

- We haven't heard from him in a week.
- Doesn't mean anything.

Sir, we know he was captured
by Replicators.

Chances are he was on board a
Replicator ship when it disintegrated.

All we know for sure
is that he's missing.

- Sooner or later...
- Forget it.

I'm not falling
for it this time.

- "Falling for it"?
- Yeah.

How many times
have you thought he was gone,

and then he shows up
in one form or another.

I'm sorry, but we're not
having a memorial service

for someone who is not dead.

You hear that?
I'm not buying it.

What? He's just waiting for us to
say a bunch of nice things about him.

Next thing you know, he'll
come waltzing through that door.

Like right now.

Waltzing.

Now.

[bell over door chimes]

[cook] Order up.

[people talking indistinctly]

So, what can I get for you?

Brothers Bra'tac of Chulak

and Teal'c of the Tau'ri.

For your enduring
courage and vision

for the strength of will
that has brought us to freedom

from the Goa'uld,

a future we have yet
to even comprehend,

but one that will be determined
by our own unfettered will,

I hereby bestow upon you,
the highest honor

any Jaffa can know.

From this day forward,

you shall both
be known as blood kin

to all Jaffa!

[cheering]

Brothers.

From this day forward, no
Jaffa shall bow before anyone,

and never again
before a false god.

Hail brother Bra'tac!

- Hail!
- Hail!

Hail brother Teal'c!

- Hail!
- Hail!

[blows horn]

[cheering]

Be proud, Teal'c.
Today, we are free.

This day is
not yet over, brother.

[crowd cheering]

Then I shall be proud for you,

and of you.

- Hey.
- [Sam] Hi.

Thank you, Airman.

So, this is exciting.
What's the surprise?

You'll see.

Do I get to go through
the stargate?

I mean, what planet
are we going to?

You don't get to go
through the stargate.

Okay, I'm a little disappointed.

Still, full security clearance,
an all access pass to SGC,

- this must be big.
- Oh, it's big.

[knocking at door]

Pete Shanahan? Jacob Carter.
Dad, this is Pete.

- Dad?
- Not quite yet.

You have to actually marry my
daughter before you can call me that.

I was just... I meant...

Stammer, stammer. [chuckles]

It's an honor
to meet you, sir. Really.

- Why didn't you tell me?
- I didn't want you to be nervous.

Why would I? wouldn't.
I've been dying to meet you.

I think it was Sam
that was nervous.

How did not telling me help?

It didn't.

This is great.

You really got one of
those things in your head?

If by one of those things, you mean
a 2,000-year-old Tok'ra symbiote,

- yes.
- [Pete] Seriously.

Come on. That has gotta
freak you right out sometimes.

It's weird.

Hey, what do I have to do to get
some more coffee around here?

Find your enlightenment.

No menus?

We don't need them here.
Just order what you'd like.

Okay. I'll have the truth with
a side order of clarity, please.

The Replicator version of Sam
was in your head

trying to access the knowledge
buried in your subconscious,

but you gained control
of her instead.

She killed you to stop you. That's
where I stepped in. How's that?

Pretty clear.

Well, we aim to please.
Customer comes first, you know.

So, I'm ascended again.

Not exactly. Sort of
a stop along the way.

You have to make
that choice for yourself.

- Waffles.
- [Oma] Bacon on the side?

No, I remember this place.

You should.
It came from your mind.

My grandfather brought me here
after my parents' funeral.

I had waffles.

- Waffles it is.
- Wait.

How do I know
it's really you this time?

How do I know this isn't some
trick Replicator Sam is playing

to stop me from controlling her?

How deep is the river
if you cannot see the bottom?

Deeper than the coffee
in my cup, I'll tell you that.

Excuse me. Frank, I need
a Noah's boy in a blanket,

two hen fruit wrecked on a
shingle with a mystery in the alley,

a warm Eve with a moldy lid
and two checkerboards, all right?

Oh, yeah. Hold the pig.

[Bra'tac] We have dreamed
of this day for so long,

fought so hard for it
and sacrificed so much.

- Now, that it is here...
- It is not here, brother.

The balance of power
has shifted, Teal'c.

Our victory here at Dakara
has turned the tide.

Jaffa everywhere
are abandoning the old ways,

coming to see the Goa'uld
for the false gods they are.

We are foolish to rejoice in conquest over
the Goa'uld when they are not all dead.

Anubis' claim
to be a god is false,

but his powers
most certainly are not.

It is agreed.
He must be dealt with.

But for once,
there may be greater concerns

than the eradication
of all the Goa'uld.

So consumed were we
in attaining freedom,

that we did not plan nearly
enough for its aftermath.

The Jaffa have fought
with each other for so long,

that uniting them as one
may prove as difficult a task

as convincing them to free
themselves from the Goa'uld.

Generations of war and mistrust
will not be healed overnight.

Indeed. If we do not organize
quickly, freedom will become anarchy.

The high priests are proposing
a leadership be assembled.

That is wise.

They wish both of us
to sit on the council.

You know that will take you
from the Tau'ri.

Your purpose in joining them
was to one day free the Jaffa.

Now that day is upon us.

You must not abandon your
people when we need you most.

Of that, I am aware.

The Council will preside
from the new Jaffa homeworld,

where a great city
is to be erected,

a haven for all those
who have chosen freedom.

Here, on the holy ground
of Dakara.

Hey. I know you.

- Really?
- Yeah.

The guy from the paper,
Dr. Daniel Jackson.

It's okay. Keep it. I'm done.

- Thanks.
- [man] No problem.

[Sam] So, you gonna visit Mark
and the kids this trip?

Tomorrow.

Is everything okay?

I'm just not very hungry.

You've been pretty quiet.

I'm fine.

Dad...

What?

It's been two hours since Pete
left. You haven't said a word.

- I did so.
- "He seems nice"?

I believe that's three words.

- I'm gonna marry him.
- I know.

I just met him.
What do you want me to say?

I know how happy he makes you.
That's all that matters to me.

Okay.

- Selmak really liked him.
- Selmak?

Yeah, and he's a great
judge of character.

Well, okay.

Look, Sam, I'm tired.

It's been a long day. I
think I'm gonna turn in early.

- Are you sure nothing else is wrong?
- Yeah.

- I'll see you in the morning.
- Good night.

[phone ringing]

[phone beeps]

- What?
- [Sam]I'm sorry to wake you, sir.

Teal'c's back, and it sounds
like we have a problem.

I knew it.

All right. I'll be there
as soon as I can.

[phone beeps]

[phone thuds]

Crap.

What was that?

- Trouble in Jaffa-land.
- [groans]

Gotta go. I'm sorry.

- You know about this?
- Yes.

- You're not gonna do anything about it?
- You know I can't.

Well, I'm certainly not just
gonna sit here and let this happen.

You can't leave.
You're not ascended yet.

You walk through that door,
you're choosing the alternative.

You're saying I'll be dead.

Pretty much.

Okay, ascend me.

It doesn't mean you'll be able
to help your friends.

- You know the rules.
- Yes, but once I'm ascended,

I can choose to take human
form again, just like last time.

Technically, yes.

But you can't take
that paper with you.

You won't have any of the
knowledge that you've gained here,

and good luck
ever ascending again.

I'm certainly not going
to help you a third time.

So, you're saying I can know
Anubis is plotting to destroy

all life in the galaxy,

and all I can do about it
is stay here

and contemplate
my own enlightenment?

You can eat your waffles.

[sighs] No syrup?

Hi, how's it going? I'm, uh,

Daniel Jackson.

Sorry to bother you. I just wanted
to know if I could borrow your syrup.

Although, technically, I know
it's not gonna be borrowing

'cause I'm not actually
gonna give back what I use.

[sighs] Enjoy your meal.

Hey, guys. How's it going?

They're not going
to talk to you.

Why not? Who are they?

Others.
You're not one of them yet.

You mean Ancients.

A couple of them.

- What are they doing here?
- Watching.

- Me.
- Me too.

I told you before.
They're always watching.

You wanted some motor oil.

I still wish you guys had blown that
thing up when you had the chance.

We had to at least be sure

that all the Replicators
really were eliminated.

And even though we apparently
did get rid of them all in this galaxy,

there may still be more elsewhere
that could be a threat again.

[Sam] So, we wanted to try to
figure out how the device worked

in case we ever needed
something like it again.

Great. Well, now
the Jaffa have something

that can blow up the entire
universe with the push of a button.

The Jaffa will defend Dakara
with their lives.

You wanna explain to me
why they don't wanna wreck it?

The ruins of Dakara have become
a symbol of freedom.

Much more, the Jaffa believe that
the device's power helped free them

by destroying the Replicators.

They also believe
that controlling this power

will help ensure
their freedom in the future.

And get them virtually
anything they want.

The Jaffa would never
use it to that end.

Jackie right. No one should have
that kind of power at their disposal.

[cell phone ringing]

Sorry.
Thought I'd turned it off.

So, we're all in agreement?

One way or another,
it's gotta go. Correct?

- Indeed.
- Thank you.

[Bra'tac] If you are suggesting
we destroy this device

against the wishes
of the High Council,

I must point out that would
not be a good first step

in relations between the Tau'ri and
the newly-formed free Jaffa nation.

Why don't you do it?
They already hate the Tok'ra.

To be honest, a plan may
already be in the works.

But as you know, Selmak and I
aren't fully in the loop any longer.

- Hmm.
- [man clears throat]

- Yes?
- Sorry to interrupt, sir.

Colonel, there's a call for
you. Apparently, it's urgent.

[whispers] Sorry.

Carter.

Teal'c and I have arranged
another meeting of the Jaffa Council.

Our hope is to continue
strengthening the bond

between previously warring Jaffa
by focusing on our common enemy.

Yeah, I know. It's just that
it's not a good time right now.

There are still many Goa'uld
who remain a threat.

I know. I'm sorry.

I don't know. It could be
an hour. It could be all day.

Yeah, I know.

Okay. Yeah, me too. Bye.

Sorry about that, sir.

- Emergency?
- No, no. Just a misunderstanding.

Hey, weren't you supposed to
meet Pete at the florist this morning?

No, Dad.

No, I'm sure that's what
you said. For the wedding.

I know.

Go ahead, Carter.

- It's supposed to be your day off, anyway.
- It's okay, sir.

[Jack] Teal'c and Bra'tac
are meeting with the Jaffa.

There's nothing to do
around here. Go pick flowers.

[exhales]

What?

- More coffee?
- Sure.

- Can you sit a minute?
- Okay.

[exhales] Oh, how am I supposed
to put it? Man, are my dogs tired.

That's good.

- How are your waffles?
- Best I ever had.

Can you tell me
why you stopped me

from killing Anubis
the last time I was ascended?

Because if I didn't stop you,
the others would have.

And they wouldn't have been
as nice about it.

You mean, they wouldn't have erased
my memory and left me naked on a planet?

That was your choice.

Okay, maybe not the naked part.

But I didn't totally erase your
memory even though I was supposed to.

There. Okay. Why is it okay to
break some rules and not others?

- [bell over door chimes]
- [man whistling tune]

Look, if you knew I had a problem
following the rules the last time,

why offer me ascension again?

Because I didn't
wanna see you die

without at least giving you
a second chance.

Look, I had trouble
following the rules.

I'm not really supposed
to help people ascend.

You're supposed
to do it on your own.

But you do it.

I walk the line.

Believe me, I crossed it a
few times and paid for it dearly.

My point is,
you just need to be willing

to put your prior human
existence into the proper context.

[man whistling tune]

Sorry, I gotta get back to work.

Coffee, please.

[Pete] Chocolate or vanilla?

I'm sorry, what?

Chocolate or vanilla. The cake.

Just in case you can't make
the meeting with the caterer.

Oh, I'm sorry. I really do
wanna be a part of this.

- I hope so. It's your wedding, too.
- I know.

I realize this must
be weird for you.

Worrying about place settings

when we could be destroyed
by aliens at any minute.

A little.

We're not about to be destroyed
by aliens, are we?

No.

'Cause you seem
a bit distracted.

I'm sorry.

- So, your dad like me?
- Of course. Why wouldn't he?

- Tough guy to read.
- You just have to get to know him.

How about Selmak?

Ah. He thought
you were very charming.

- For a human.
- Well, generally speaking, that's my type.

[chuckles] Good.

Did I tell you
I also have a surprise for you?

No, what is it?

Tricky. You'll see.

The Council remains
unwilling to destroy the weapon

for fear it will weaken
the resolve of the Jaffa

to stand united
against the remaining Goa'uld.

You realize we have to consider
that thing a threat to our security?

Indeed.

The Council
recognizes the danger

and has decided to take action

by aggressively seeking out
and killing Anubis.

Once that threat
has been eliminated,

they will reassess the decision
to destroy the device.

Well, we don't even know if
Anubis can be killed yet, do we?

[Teal'c] We must not suggest
to the Jaffa that he cannot be.

At the very least, we can eliminate
the remainder of the forces of Anubis.

[Bra'tac] I believe this quest will
unite many of the still fractured armies

by giving them focus
on a common goal.

Got anything to go on?

Many of the Kull warriors were
killed in battle with the Replicators,

but intelligence
gathered indicates

that Anubis may be marshaling the
remaining Kull warriors on Tartarus.

A preemptive strike
is being prepared.

[Oma speaking indistinctly]

[sighs]

- Hey.
- Hey, Daniel. How's it going?

Do we know each other?
I feel like I know you.

Call me Jim.

We ran into each other the
last time you were ascended.

Oh. Nice to meet you again.

Still haven't made up
your mind, huh?

Death or everlasting
enlightenment.

I don't really see
the choice, myself.

Of course, I don't wanna
be dead. It's just that, uh...

[sighs] Listen, the reason I
came over here was to ask you...

Why are you talking to me?

Oh, you mean because these
other snobs won't even look at you?

I'm different, like Oma.

Really? 'Cause I kind of had the impression
that you two don't quite see eye to eye.

What? That little...
[chuckles] That was nothing.

We both operate somewhat outside
the normal rules and regulations.

Sometimes, we disagree on
how far outside we should go.

That's all.

- [Daniel] Really?
- Yeah.

As long as these other guys don't
strike me down, I figure I'm okay.

I guess that's what
I'm trying to figure out.

I mean, I feel like
if I agree to ascend,

I'm signing a contract that I
don't even know what it says.

Obviously, I had a little trouble
with the fine print the last time.

[chuckles] You sure did.

You know about that?

It's all out there.

[sighs] I just don't see
how I can agree to stand by

and let Anubis destroy every
living thing in the entire galaxy.

Well, that's a tough one.

Speaking of which,
have you seen the latest?

[Jim] He's a crafty one.

Really knows the ins and outs
of the rules.

I give him three-to-one
odds to succeed.

You wanna know
the irony of it all?

That device was originally
used by the Ancients

to create life in the Milky Way.

Well, recreate it
after the whole plague thing.

No kidding.

Now it all gets undone
with the push of one button,

leaving Anubis to recreate
things all over to his own liking.

There's a waste of a million-odd
years of evolution, huh?

I say someone should really
do something to stop him!

[groans in disgust] No one will.

Can I get a coffee?

- Can I open them now?
- Almost.

[Pete exhales]

Okay. Now.

- What do you think?
- Uh...

Well, uh...

- Speechless, huh?
- Yeah.

Isn't it great? Remember
our first night together?

You described the house
you always wanted?

I can't believe this.

The kitchen isn't yellow,
but we can paint.

Come on. I'll show you.

And you're not gonna
believe the backyard.

- The dog's gonna love it.
- Dog?

[softly] Oh.

This is bad.

Yeah.

This pie is great, and there's
nothing to wash it down with.

Is there anything you can do
to stop Anubis?

I mean, you did say
someone should do something.

I did, didn't I?

Well, as far as what can be
done, it's kind of complicated.

Yeah, so Oma tells me.

Yeah, well, I don't think
she's told you everything.

- What does that mean?
- I'm saying...

I've already said too much.

No, you haven't. In fact,
you've hardly said anything at all.

You gave up
eternal enlightenment,

all the knowledge and power
of the universe.

Why do you think you did that?

To fight for humanity
any way I could.

Yes, very big of you.

You rejected everything
Oma offered you,

and now she just gives you another
chance based on the goodness of her heart?

Well, that is the point, isn't it? I
mean, she is ascended. She is good.

Sure, best intentions.

Do you know what happened
between me and Oma?

Why did I choose
to take human form again?

You should ask Oma.

[exhales]

Hi, sir.

Carter.

Look, I'm sorry to bother you
at home like this, but...

How did you know I was here?

I saw the smoke.

Oh, yeah.

Look, is this okay? I mean, I
could have called first, but...

No, yeah. I mean, it's fine.

So, um...

What brings you
to this neck of the woods

on such a fine day
in my backyard?

Well, actually,
I've, uh, [clears throat]

been sitting in your driveway
for the last ten minutes

trying to work up the nerve
to come and talk to you.

The truth is, I've been trying to work
up the nerve for a lot longer than that.

Oh?

Pete put a down payment
on a house.

Well, that's great.

It's a beautiful house.

But...

The truth is, I'm having second
thoughts about the wedding.

Why?

See, the thing is, the closer it
gets, the more I get the feeling that

I'm making a big huge mistake.

Look, Carter,
I don't know what...

I'm sorry to bother
you with this, but, uh...

See, there's actually a very good
reason that I'm bothering you with this,

and if I don't tell you now,
I might never...

Jack, I looked everywhere.
I could not find...

- Colonel Carter.
- Hi.

Ms. Johnson.

Yeah, I didn't...

We were just meeting here
in my backyard on this fine day

to discuss the state of affairs.

Well, this is awkward.

You think?

Jack didn't want anyone
at the SGC to know about us.

No. Look, I...

I'm sorry. This is my fault.

I really... I shouldn't have
come by unannounced like this.

Well, you know, now that the
cat's out of the bag, you're here,

why don't you just stay?

I'm sure there's enough charred
meat on the grill for all three of us.

- No, thank you, I, uh...
- [cell phone rings]

Uh...

It's the SGC.

Colonel Carter.

What? When?

Okay. I'm on my way.

I gotta go. It's my dad.

Well, you can't
stay here forever, you know.

Actually, I suppose you could.

I just don't know why you'd really
want to. Except for the great service.

Look, obviously,
I don't wanna just die.

I don't suppose
there's any other options?

I can't get into it. What's
stopping you from ascending?

I don't know.

Must be something holding you
back, making you doubt yourself.

Maybe it's not me I'm doubting.

Look, whether you choose to accept
living on a higher plane of existence

has nothing to do with me or
anything that I can or can't tell you.

It's all up to you.

But there is something
you're not telling me.

Is that what Jim said? You
shouldn't be listening to him.

- Why not?
- Because.

Good answer.

Yes.

Dad?

I'm sorry, kiddo. We both are.

About what? What's going on?

I didn't wanna
ruin everything like this.

Dad?

It's Selmak. He's dying.

Oh, my God. I'm sorry.

It's okay. He's okay.

He led a pretty full life.

I didn't live
with Jolinar that long,

but I think I have some idea
of what it's like.

Well, this is
a little different, Sam.

As you know,
when a Tok'ra symbiote dies,

they can prevent their host
from dying, as Jolinar did with you.

The problem is,
that last selfless act

requires a certain amount of
energy and a conscious effort.

What are you saying?

By all rights, Selmak should
have been dead weeks ago.

I wouldn't let him go.
I thought we needed him,

that I needed him to help
you stop the Replicators.

Dad?

He held on as long as he could.

Then he slipped into a coma

just after we activated
the weapon on Dakara.

You've known
all this time since then?

I didn't want to spoil
your wedding.

You know,
I thought we could make it.

We?

He's barely alive.

I'm gonna die with him, Sam.

Where is she?

I don't know. Off doing whatever
it is she does when she's not here.

- You ask her?
- Yep.

- Wouldn't tell you?
- Nope.

Had to find out
for yourself last time, too.

- Man, were you pissed.
- About what?

Tell me.

What do you know about Anubis?

I know he's half ascended,
whatever that means.

There are many
planes of existence

between human existence
and ascension.

Basically, the others
use their collective powers

to keep him from affecting
anything on a grand, cosmic level.

But it's okay for him
to destroy an entire galaxy?

It's okay for him to do
anything he could have done

back when he was
a regular old Goa'uld.

Okay, I see. What does this
have to do with Oma?

Goa'ulds are bad, and
Anubis is as bad as they come.

And?

And?

And ascension requires that
somebody be pure of spirit.

One must be good to the very
core to achieve enlightenment.

So, how does someone
like Anubis ascend?

Now he's getting it.

Oma helps people ascend, but
she'd never help somebody like Anubis.

Maybe not on purpose.

Are you saying
he tricked her somehow?

Rule number one.

No lone ascended being
shall help a lower ascend.

Lowers are what
we call humans and such.

If you deserve to be here, you
should be able to get here on your own.

If there's an exception,
for whatever reason,

a majority vote by the
collective can get you in.

But Oma thinks she knows better,

and she's taken
her licks for it.

I admit, for the most part, she's
brought good people on board,

but as the old saying goes,
nobody's perfect,

not even us higher beings.

Oma helped Anubis ascend.

Get out.

Get out, now.

Well, look at the time.

Gotta go, kid.
Business to attend to.

It was nice talking
to you, though.

[Jim whistling tune]

A number of the Tok'ra
have responded.

They want to pay their respects.

They can come.

I can't believe
there's nothing they can do.

They can remove a Goa'uld.

In the last few years, you've almost
perfected the process of saving a host.

That process instantly kills the
symbiote before it releases toxins.

It's too late for that, Sam.
I'm sorry.

I hate to do this to you,

but I should have been dead
four years ago.

Since then, I've been
all over the galaxy.

I've done things
most men never dream of.

I've heard that before.

I just wanna know
you're gonna be happy.

I am.

Don't let rules
stand in your way.

What are you talking about?

You joined the Air Force
because of me.

I love my job.

Mmm.

You can still have
everything you want.

I do, Dad.

Really.

How's Colonel Carter's father?

It doesn't look good.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Closing the door.

Yeah, deeply symbolic.

Really?

[sighs]

I really like you.
We're good together.

Yes.

We are.

But...

You have issues.

It's okay. We all do.

There's just
one big one in particular

that I don't think
I can love with.

Live with.

I need to get out
before I get more involved.

We can still work together,
can't we?

I'd hate to have to ask
for reassignment.

This is really important to me.

We agreed this would never
affect the job.

- We did.
- Good.

You know, there's just
one thing I don't understand.

Just one?

Is the Air Force the only thing
keeping you two apart?

Rules and regulations?

'Cause if it is, you're
making a very big mistake.

And you know what I should do?

Retire.

- Again?
- Don't get me wrong.

You are considered invaluable
to the program by the Pentagon,

but the President has appointed
a civilian to run the SGC before.

Just a thought.

The time has come for this ancient
warrior to fight one final battle.

I think not, old man.

This victory will present us
with many new challenges

that will require your wisdom
and sound judgment.

What our people will require
is a youthful, vital leadership,

and that is something others
are better suited to provide.

You are only as old
as you believe yourself to be.

Talk to me in 50 years.

Indeed, I will.

So, it's true.

He tricked me.

How? You couldn't tell?

No.

He must have found some old
Ancient research on ascension.

When he came to Kheb,
he knew what he was doing.

When I realized the horrible
mistake that I had made,

I tried to undo it,
but I couldn't.

That's when
the others stepped in.

I don't understand. They
only sent him halfway back.

Why not all the way?

- It's complicated.
- Yeah, what isn't around here?

They warned him.

He wasn't allowed to use
any knowledge or power

unless he otherwise would
have gained it as a Goa'uld.

I don't understand.
They let him wreak havoc.

They don't care if he destroys all life in
the galaxy, life they themselves created?

They haven't stopped me
from continuing my work.

I've tried to make up for it,
help when I can.

It's your punishment.

You're forced to watch,
powerless to interfere.

They let Anubis do whatever
he wants just to punish you?

I told you before.
The galaxy you're from,

the plane of existence
is so small and insignificant

compared to the rest
of the universe.

I don't care. It's wrong.

That's what you said last time.

Excuse me!

Isn't it enough, already?

I mean, a whole galaxy
of innocent people

enslaved and tortured
for generations,

now on the verge
of being destroyed for nothing?

For what?

For one mistake a good person
made trying to do a good thing.

Come on, the least you
could do is listen to me.

That can't be against the
grand highfalutin cosmic rules!

Hey! I'm talking to you!

Okay, okay.

Well, I know you can hear me.

Hasn't she suffered
enough already?

Certainly enough other people
have suffered to punish her.

Don't you think
you made your point?

[Oma] That's the thing, Daniel.
They don't.

I keep breaking the same rule,
helping people ascend.

That's why you're here.

What if you stopped?

Wouldn't undo the problem.

That's why I keep
doing what I do.

Anubis can't be killed.
Not by you, not by me.

He is not here. No one is here.

The defenses we fought through
are automated.

We have been deceived?

Anubis fed us this intelligence
to lure us here.

Our forces defending
Dakara are depleted.

We could not
have known, brother.

You were right, old friend.

The device at Dakara should
have been destroyed at all costs.

You okay?

Actually, I'm fine.

Good, even,
strange as that sounds.

I thought I lost him
four years ago.

Since then, we've been closer
than we ever were my whole life.

In a way, Selmak gave me the
father I never thought I'd know.

Come here.

Thank you, sir.

For what?

For being here for me.

Always.

[weakly] I'm ready.

I love you.

[bell over door chimes]

- Can I get a coffee?
- Get it yourself.

Don't mind if I do.

[Jim] Ooh.

Hey, Danny-boy,
you see the paper?

- [Daniel] No. What's it say?
- The trick worked.

Those stupid Jaffa took half
their ships to hunt down Anubis.

Meanwhile, his army
was poised to attack Dakara.

The remaining rebel Jaffa guarding
Dakara are being slaughtered.

It's only a matter of time before old
Anubis gets his hands on the weapon.

I'm sorry. You sound
almost happy about that.

- Who, me?
- Yeah.

- What do you have against Oma?
- Daniel.

No, I wanna know.

I mean, you're not
just watching.

You're coming in here
to rub it in.

Why are you taking such
pleasure in her punishment?

Me? I don't have anything against
Oma. I think she's great, don't I?

Hell, she's the one
that helped me ascend.

You got it now.

You are Anubis.

[laughs wickedly]

Cheers.

I knew from the beginning.

Guess I just thought
that when you said yes, that...

You were worth the risk.

Don't say I deserve better.

Can't get much better than you.

That's not true.

I wish I could believe this had
something to do with your father.

You needed some time
to sort some things out.

I guess all I can say is,
I hope you get what you want.

That's it?

What do you want?

You want me to get down
on my knees and beg?

God, no. Of course not.

I just...

I thought you would
react differently.

- Bye, Sam.
- Pete...

The rebel fleet guarding Dakara
has fallen to the forces of Anubis.

Bra'tac and the remaining
rebel ships will not arrive in time.

Anubis now controls the weapon.

Then we find the biggest
damn nuke we can

and we shove it
right through the gate, now.

Anubis will certainly
have the gate shielded.

The nuke will not arrive
in one piece.

If we can dial the Alpha Site, we
may be able to prevent the weapon

from connecting a wormhole
to either planet.

It may only buy us
the 38 minutes that the gate...

Go, go, just go.

Sergeant,
dial the Alpha Site now.

[alarm blaring]

[Walter] Wait a minute.
That's not me.

- What?
- [Walter] I don't know.

[alarm blaring]

Incoming wormhole.

That's not gonna stop the
energy from the weapon.

If it is the weapon.

- No iris codes.
- We're too late.

- Self-destruct.
- That's not gonna destroy the gate,

and theoretically,
there's only a remote chance

- it would disengage an active incoming...
- Carter!

Carter.

Oh, you make
a great cup of coffee.

Well, gotta go.

[chuckles] There's nothing you
can do. You don't have the power.

[Oma] But I do.

- You can't kill me, either.
- I can fight you.

- Well, you can't win.
- It won't matter.

You won't be able to do
anything but fight me back.

What are you gonna do?

Something I should have done
a long time ago.

Oh, no.

No. No! No!

[whooshes]

[alarm blaring]

- [Walter] Wormhole disengaged.
- What's going on?

I don't know. It must be some
kind of system malfunction.

- That's impossible.
- Shut it off.

Aborting self-destruct.
[typing keys]

The Kull warriors became
disorganized and confused,

as though they no longer
knew what to do.

They no longer
had a master to serve.

After that,
they were easily defeated.

Many Jaffa
lost their lives at Dakara.

Those that survived
are united as never before,

and we are in agreement.
The weapon must be destroyed.

Well, that's good.

A new memorial
will be erected in its place,

so that our triumph over the
Goa'uld will never be forgotten.

I still don't quite understand
what happened.

One minute, Anubis is about
to push the button

that ends all life
in the galaxy,

and the next minute,
he's just... gone.

Indeed. It is a great mystery.

One can only assume he was
vanquished by some means.

If not, why would he forfeit
the weapon and his army?

- You think?
- I do.

It's the only thing that would
explain the self-destruct not going off.

Of what do you speak?

O'Neill believes that Daniel
Jackson is somehow responsible.

[Daniel] Nope, it wasn't me.

Anybody else hear that?

I'm in here.

That's Daniel.

Don't! Don't come in! Whoa!

Hey, there.

It's a... long story.

This is great.

I told you.

Can't believe we didn't
do this years ago.

Yes, well, let's not dwell.

There are no fish
in this pond, are there?

- Nope.
- [chuckles]

Nice.
