Now! Stop it.

Charge.

First lock engaged.

Revolve.

You know, we're supposed to be
at that physical assessment thing.

Oh, yeah. I'll go.

Just — just let me
finish this reel.

You seem a tad
obsessed with this stuff.

This was transferred from film

of experiments done
on the gate in 1945.

You don't find that
the least bit intriguing?

Oh, yeah. Nothing piques my
interest more than repeated failure.

Look at them. They're
turning the gate manually.

It's incredible.

How many hours of this
stuff have you looked at?

There's no conclusion to the
file. No summary. No notes.

No reason to explain
why they gave up.

Whole boxes of material
could be missing.

The Pentagon said
this was everything.

Oh, please. The Pentagon's
lost entire countries.

Come on.

The doctors have two days
of tests planned for us.

Wonderful tests.

Uh, Jack...

That's impossible.

Obviously not.

This doesn't make any sense.

Why wouldn't someone have
told us? Why would they stop...

Their research if they
actually managed to turn it on?

Holy cow.

Hello, Martha.

Miss Langford, there's
a young man waiting

for you in the kitchen.

You let a strange young
man into the house?

Yes. I'm sorry.

He said he knows you.

My god!

Hello. Sorry.
I hope you don't mind.

How long have you been back?

My god, why are you back?

Colonel O'Neill said
you stayed on abydos.

I see you got the amulet.

Yes, of course.
I never take it off.

Why avoid my question?
What's this all about?

Colonel O'Neill, Dr. Jackson
was to be briefing 564 this morning.

He's not here, and
not answering ourpages

any idea where he is?

I haven't seen him
in a while, sir.

Catherine, I couldn't tell you.

Why not? They wouldn't let me.

Everything is
classified. You know.

When did you become an
upstanding member of the military?

I'm not, exactly.

And that's why I'm here.

I'll make you some tea.

Then you can go back
to your Stargate command.

Thousands of Stargates.
Planetary shifts.

Didn't anyone think
I might be interested?

That's why I came.

Six months later.
Could've been sooner.

Yes.

Just like you could've told
me there were experiments

on the gate in 1945.

My father headed up a research team
that worked on the gate during the war.

Actually, they didn't
know what it was then.

But president Roosevelt
was like that, curious.

They suspected
the gate was a weapon.

Or could be used as one.

Nothing ever came of it.
How do you know?

The Pentagon has recently been
declassifying old material.

They found file boxes that
dealt with the old experiments.

They sent them.

Really?

You weren't involved
in the research?

The military had very little use

for a 21 —year—old girl
at that time.

Neither did my father.

I only know what little I overheard
him and Ernest talking about.

I'm sorry. Who's Ernest?

We get as far as entering the fifth
symbol, then the room starts the shake.

Today, one of the generators
exploded from the feedback.

Are you going to
talk to my father?

He knows. He was there.

I meant about us.

Yes, I will.

Maybe it's supposed to do that.

What? The ring.

Maybe it's supposed to shake.

I don't think so.

Are you using alternating
or direct current to charge it?

Alternating, I think. Why?

Try using direct.

It might prevent the
charge from bouncing

back to the generator.

And you should
talk to my father.

I will. I promise.

So you didn't know the
government kept the files

from the original experiments?

I had my father's notes.

He told me that was
everything they had.

You know how many
administrations I had to petition

to get this started again?

Forty years had passed.

The information was
classified and buried.

I never asked for any files
because I thought I had them.

General west never offered because
he probably didn't know they existed.

So...

You don't know that they
turned the gate on in 1945.

What?

There must be over 100
million possible combinations.

If it's merely a combination
lock to turn it on,

why 39 symbols? Why not six?

What are you saying?

They're not combinations.

They're destinations.
And we just found one.

"Doorway to heaven"

can mean any number
of different things.

It could simply mean
that anyone who passes

through there will die.

For example.

Catherine, we have
a maid for a reason.

I wanted to do it.

No.

I never knew they turned it on.

My father never told me.

It wasn't in his notes, either.

Then there's something
more you should see.

Here, watch this.

Oh, god!

There was an accident today.

An explosion in the lab.

I'm so sorry.

So the man who went through
the gate is Ernest?

Yes.

My father must've lied to me.

He said Ernest
died in an accident.

An explosion.

Why would he do that?

He probably thought
he was protecting me.

From what?

From knowing that the man
I was supposed to marry...

Chose to risk his life
and go through the Stargate...

Without even talking
to me about it.

He chose his idea,
his work over me.

I'm sure that he believed
he would come back.

He was so young.

So full of passion.

Like you.

You reminded me of him
when I first saw you.

That's why I knew you'd solve

the mysteries of the gate.

Catherine...

I wasn't supposed
to show you this.

Actually, I wasn't supposed to
show you any of this, but now—...

Computer enhancements
from the film footage.

I was able to isolate the chevrons
that were locked in before Ernest went in.

Not abydos?

Another planet
with similar coordinates.

And we can go there.

Have you completely
lost your mind?

Who authorized you to reveal
classified information to a civilian?

Sir, if you will let me explain.

This is a serious
breach of protocol.

These rules exist
for a reason, doctor.

You think you're above them?

No, no. Catherine!

Hello, Jack.

Ifsgoodto see you again.

I trust the general is making
you feel right at home?

So far he actually sounds
worse than general west.

He's a Teddy bear.

Did you authorize Dr. Jackson

to reveal classified
information to a civilian?

Absolutely not, sir.

In fact, I advised him
not to say anything to her...

Despite the fact
that she used to run

the entire program and...

Is responsible for most of our
current knowledge about the gate.

I'm aware of who
she is, colonel.

Catherine, this is Teal'c.

Teal'c, this is Catherine.

Daniel's told me all about you.

Such a pleasure.

Colonel, are you aware...

Of the request Dr. Jackson
has most currently tabled?

You gotta go that one
step further, don't you?

The man who went through the
gate in 1945 was Catherine's fiancee.

Now, I have the address
of the planet he went to...

And we can go there.

And I'm coming with you.

General, we know where
Ernest littlefield went.

He could still be alive.
A man who had the vision...

To see the gate for what it was a
half a century before anyone else.

He sounds like a bona fide
American hero, sir.

Sir, there may be another
reason to go to this planet.

Samantha! Catherine!

Captain Carter.

Yes, sir.

It seems the planet in
question is close to abydos...

So it uses many of the same
points in space as locators...

Which explains
why the team in '45...

Could coincidentally dial in without
compensating for planetary shift.

But, sir, the planet in question

is not on the cartouche
we found on abydos.

Vvhafsthe significance of that?

The goa'ulds haven't charted it.

They may not even
have been there.

If the goa'ulds haven't
been to this planet,

and there's a gate there...

Then we would have proof

that they didn't originally
build the Stargates.

The Goa'uld are scavengers.

Since they have not
traveled to this planet...

We may find technologies
we can use against them.

You speak?

When it is appropriate.

Thank you. Thank all of you for
your thorough analysis of this situation.

But I was already convinced
by Dr. Jackson's initial argument.

Ernest littlefield could
still be alive.

And we should try to find him.

It's a piece of cake.

Ready?

And...

You okay?

That was some piece of cake.

It's hot in here. Oh, yeah.

Anybody see a way
in or out of this place?

There appears to be
only two doorways.

Oh, my.

For crying out loud.

Dr. Littlefield?

Ernest?

Hello. I'm Daniel Jackson. We
just came through the Stargate.

Yes, that thing.

The Stargate.

We're real.

It's about time.

Oh, boy.

Daniel, do something.

Dr. Littlefield?

You don't recognize me.

Catherine?

Fifty years and
that's all he has to say.

I'll go see if! Can find him.

Still here?

Do you have anything to wear?

Clothes?

Going home.

Yes, we're taking you home.

So much time.

Did no one try again?

That's a long story.

Are there other people here?

No one else lives here?

How 'bout nearby?

Are you saying that you've been
completely alone here for 50 years?

Eat.

I don't know what I expected.

I mean, I can't believe
he's right here.

Light years away, but still
so close all this time.

Alive.

I think he's probably having a
little trouble dealing with it too.

I felt like a schoolgirl.

My heart was beating faster
than through the gate.

You think you're old and wise.

I don't think the heart
ever grows old.

I can't even fathom
what he's been through.

Such a long time.

I don't even know that man.

Why don't you
go and talk to him?

Last day.

It's a calendar, isn't it?

You been able to figure out who
built this place or who used to live here?

Heliopolis.

Heliopolis?

Repository. Philosophy.
Astronomy.

I assume you mean
the ancient Egyptian city.

People would come from everywhere
to gather their scholars, leaders.

It was also the central place
of worship for ra.

Are there ancient Egyptian
hieroglyphs here?

Symbols that indicate ra?

This could be very important.

"Four distinct languages.
Writing is unlike anything on earth.

Catherine says
they're probably alien."

"Catherine says"?

She found me long ago.

"We walked for miles today,

and still found no
signs of civilization.

Catherine seems concerned,
but I am not.

As long as she is here with
me, I will never feel alone.

It seems impossible, but
every day we're here together...

I love her more."

My father lied to me.

I'll leave you two.

So real.

Yes.

You're going to have to believe.

This isn't easy for me, either.

You look different.

I'm old, Ernest.

So are you.

We had a wonderful
life together.

I couldn't imagine you.

In my mind, we didn't have
a wonderful life.

I thought you were dead.

Forgave me.

You forgave me long ago.

No, I didn't.

Doesn't seem to be
anybody else around.

This place used to be
pretty sweet.

But it's seen better days,
if you know what I mean.

I think professor littlefield has
been alone since he got here.

Wow.

The storm approaches.

A pretty big one at that.

It comes every year.

Every year?

Look, kids. We're right
on the edge of a cliff here.

I don't think this place could
withstand another big hit.

We should take our leave.
No, we can't.

Not yet, I mean. We've only
begun to explore this place...

To figure out what it is
or what it used to be.

We launched a survey balloon.

Now let's take the professor
and Catherine home.

We'll leave the probe here,
let it monitor the situation...

Till the storm blows over
and then return.

I tried for years
to make it work.

You never tried entering
different glyphs in this thing?

We call this
the "dial home device."

Basically, you enter the
correct address and then—...

Why don't we just show him?

My god! What the hell

I thought the probe was
supposed to detect stuff like this.

We got visual confirmation
of its presence...

But the damage
was obviously concealed.

It's not working.

It was like that
when I got here.

That's why you never came back.

Does this mean
we're not going home?

Well, since we're going to
be here a while...

I'd like you to see something.

What? Come on.

It's the safest room there is.

You know,
especially in the storm.

Give me a hand.

Thanks

keep at it. We'll be back.

What is this place?

"I believe this room is
some sort of meeting place...

Where four alien races
denoted by the symbols...

And distinctive writing
on the walls would gather.

Possibly to share knowledge
or discuss relations...

Like a United Nations
of the stars.

Catherine agrees."

You're right. I would have.

All roads seem to lead here, which
means this is likely the power source.

I believe you are correct.

It could take years to figure out how
to put these crystals back properly.

But I think we might be able
to figure out some way...

To rig the power source directly to
the gate, and then dial in manually.

This looks familiar.

Touch it.

Whoa!

It's beautiful.

Does this mean anything?

Well, if this was a mecca of
sorts an alien United Nations

this has to mean something.

I know this.

Of course.
High school chemistry.

One proton, one electron.

Hydrogen. Beryllium.

Sodium.

Silver. Iron.

Barium. Xenon.

Oh, my god. So many electrons.
How can you tell?

I've been here a very
long time, remember?

Excuse me.

Are you saying that all of
these are atomic things?

These images are the graphical
representations of the basic elements.

Electrons revolving
around a proton.

The number of electrons
indicating the element.

A hundred and forty six.

There are currently only 111
elements on the periodic table.

Only 90 when I last looked.

This is incredible.

We've only speculated

on the actual appearance
and structure of an atom.

The fact that four completely
alien races chose...

To represent it visually
in an almost identical way.

The basic elements are
what make up the universe.

They are the basic
building blocks—...

Of course!

How do you ensure
universal communication?

You reduce the method of
communication to the most basic elements...

Common to everyone and
everything that exists in the universe.

Jack, this is a true
universal language.

Turn the page. What?

Turn the page.

Are you saying that this——
This is like a book?

I tried to read it.
I tried to understand, but—...

One hundred and forty—six
zones letters or word symbols.

If they're letters,
pictographic I mean,

this could take a lifetime.

More.

Sorry.

Before your head explodes...

May I remind you we've got
more important things

to deal with right now?

How can you say that? Don't
you know what this could mean?

Actually, no.

This could be the key
to understanding our existence

everyone, every
thing's existence.

A collaboration of the knowledge
of these four alien species.

None of which will mean squat
if we don't get out of here.

How's it going?

We're trying to connect the power
source from the dial home device...

Directly into the gate.

I'm about to run a test.
Where's Daniel?

Ernest was showing
him a new toy.

Really? What?

Some fancy light show...

That may be the key to our
existence, or something like that.

You wanna pick up the pace
on this a little bit?

You did it!

Get back!

This is how you know
what this place was.

Then you recognize it too.

Othala. The norse rune thought
to represent the collection...

Ofnuminous power and
knowledge from past generations.

The gathering of clans
to share a common interest.

You know, there's more
than just a coincidence here.

But that means
humans were here...

Centuries, maybe eons ago.

Not humans. Aliens.

This is Thor's race.
Thor was an alien?

Oh, yeah. That's—...

That's another long story.

But a good one.

Basic survival training.
We know what we have.

What do we need?

We have the Stargate.

We need the dial home device.

Thank you, Teal'c.

The element the gate is made
up of absorbs energy directly.

Internal functions will
convert and store that energy...

In capacitor—like reservoirs.

But the inside wheel will
only unlock and spin freely...

Once there's enough
reserve power.

So what we need is energy.

I don't see any electrical
outlets, do you?

This is useless. It's not allowing
for any relative perspective.

I don't understand. How did you
incorporate the 3D nature of this?

Look down.

Of course.

You measured the elements'
distance from a central point...

Degrees from zero around in a
circle and height above the floor.

What's up, guys?

Step away from the pedestal.

What?

Why?

The dial home device
just fell through the floor

into the ocean.

So what are we going to do?

That thing may have a power source
in it we can use to get the gate working.

Uh... no.

You don't understand. This book
may contain knowledge of the universe.

I mean, this is
"meaning of life" stuff.

I have to get more of it written down.
There's got to be something else.

What about Teal'c's staff?

It isn't powerful enough.

There's not much time.

We have to get
inside that thing.

This whole place
could join the dhd

at the bottom
of the ocean any minute.

So, please.

Great.

Shoot it.

Now what?

I'm obviously
no scientist, but...

Couldn't we use that
Ben Franklin thing?

The element the gate is
made up of is a superconductor.

It'll absorb energy in many
forms heat, nuclear, solar, static.

If we could channel a lightning
strike into the gate, it might give us...

Enough power to dial in
and make it through.

How do we attract lightning
to strike the gate?

Not directly. We'll have to
rig something up on the roof...

And hope that the sudden and enormous
charge doesn't destroy the mechanisms.

We got it, Teal'c!

Daniel won't come up.

He's obsessed with that thing.
So much like you used to be.

The torment of tantalus.

What?

Tantalus was a king
in Greek mythology.

Banished to Hades.

Forced to stand in water that
receded when he tried to drink.

Everlasting,
unending temptation.

He was reaching for
something that was...

Out of reach.

That sounds familiar.

Some might say that's
what makes a man great.

If we all accepted
what was within our grasp—...

Sometimes what we have
is of more value.

It takes a great man
to recognize that. I didn't.

I was a fool.

Ernest, you've suffered enough.

No sense wasting time
in the past. Right?

For the peak of the roof.
It will attract the lightning.

You get Daniel.

Take this to the roof.

You have to come, now.

Not yet. Come and get me
when you got the gate running.

There isn't enough time.
I have to finish this.

It's not worth it. This is.

Nothing is!

Our history as a people would be
very different if everyone felt that way.

No prize is worth attaining if you can
never share it. There would be no point.

Believe me.

I know.

Let's go.
Teal'c, start dialing in.

We may only have seconds
once the gate is open.

What you did was courageous.

What I did was stupid!

Come on, boys. We
gotta go, now. I'm staying.

What?

Look, I will be fine down here.

Go on.

We can come back.

What if the castle
crumbles around the gate?

This could all be lost.

If I stay, I could
unbury the gate again.

What if the gate
falls into the ocean?

I'm willing to take that risk.

I'm not. Let's go.

Jack!

Please.

Let's go.

It's a piece of cake.
Not from what I remember.

Wormhole is destabilizing.
Still no travelers.

Come on, guys.

Stand by, people.

Close one. You think?

You don't know how close.

Chevron six encoded.

Chevron seven...

Will not engage.

I think it's safe to say
the place is gone.

You still have my book.

Captain Carter's working on
a computer model right now.

And here's the bright side

you're alive.

Yes.

Thanks to you.

Look at it this way.

If you ever run into those aliens
who made up the language...

You can ask them what it means.

You better let us
know this time.

I will. I promise.

Catherine, hug me.

Oh, Jack.
