What exactly are we going to see after this eclipse begins?

I mean, it is black, and it is a hole.

Well, it might be a black hole.

Let me put that a different way.

Daniel, you're right. You can't actually see it, not the singularity itself.

It's so massive not even light can escape it.

Butdunng the totality phase of the eclipse...

We should be able to see matter spiraling towards it.

Actually, it's called the accretion disc.

I guess it's easy to understand

why the local population would be afraid of it.

What did you just say?

It's just an astronomical term.

Did you think the colonel had a telescope just to look at the neighbors?

Not initially.

Someone from 56—7 should have been here to greet us.

They should be prepping the telescope for the big show.

Oh, god! All right, mopp four.

Daniel, you and Teal'c check the village.

See why no one's missed this guy, where everyone else is.

We've got the observatory.

Move out.

Where is everyone?

O'Neill: Found them.

Carter: My god!

Jackson: Jack!

Jack!

They're all dead. Everyone.

Fraiser: This complex has been totally decontaminated.

How many dead?

We estimate about a thousand.

Why didn't they send a message, some warning this was happening?

We don't know. Looks like this happened very quickly.

There may still be survivors there.

Shouldn't we be looking for them?

Not until I examine you. We'll use the barracks room.

Colonel, you said you touched one of the victims

before putting on gloves?

Yeah, but I washed my hands right away.

No. You are first.

Allergies, right?

Right? Right.

Carter: We're supposed to tag the bodies we find with these.

Jacksonzthey knew this would happen.

Carter: The indigenous people?

They told me when we came here three months ago...

That with the darkness would come the apocalypse.

It was part of their mythology.

And what did we tell them?

"It's just an eclipse, and there's nothing to worry about."

Hello?

It's okay. You can come out.

I know I must look scary in this mask,

but I'm not going to hurt you.

Colonel, there's someone in the bushes, and they won't come out.

Show them your face.

Try to look friendly.

We will not hurt you. Please come out.

Take my hand.

It is okay.

Carter: It's okay. Don't worry.

Everything's going to be fine.

Can you hear me?

Very brave.

Can I take this mask off?

I think it'll be okay.

It looks like we're dealing with a bacteria infection. Don't get too close.

There. That's better, huh?

You feel like telling me your name now?

That's okay. You remember my name?

Samantha Carter, but you can call me Sam.

Oh, no, honey.

You're not going to die.

Why don't you lay down and rest for a while?

Okay.

This can't be.

She's infected, isn't she? No, she's not.

What's wrong then?

There are traces of the element the Stargate is made of in her blood.

Naquadah? Yeah.

It's possible that's the reason she was able to resist the infection.

Thank you.

You take a look.

I have some bad news.

The samples my team collected show the entire area to be contaminated.

It's in the water and the ground.

The bacteria doesn't seem to be airborne...

But it has a unique ability to survive

in a variety of environments.

I hate to sound self—centered—...

Your tests are fine.

What of the girl?

No sign of infection.

I did an ultrasound to make sure she wasn't...

Parasitically infested with a Goa'uld.

So she goes back with us.

Doctor, would it be safe for someone to stay a little while longer?

We're safe right now, aren't we?

Captain?

Sir, the eclipse happens in less than one day.

This is our only opportunity to use

this window of darkness...

To photograph the black hole with this telescope.

It could change the course of human history.

I don't want to belittle what's happened here...

But if we leave,

56—7 and all these people will have died for nothing.

Well, you won't be staying.

I will remain. I am not at risk.

I'll stay too.

Carter: Hey, are you okay?

Don't be afraid. I'll be holding your hand the whole way, all right?

I know it looks scary, but it's really a lot of fun.

On three. One, two, three.

Computer voice: Level one decontamination complete. Proceed with level two.

Hey, it's okay. It's okay.

That wasn't so bad, was it?

Well, here we are.

This is where you're going to stay for a little while, okay?

I know it's nothing fancy, but we'll fix it up.

I have to go somewhere for a little while...

But I promise I won't be gone long, okay?

I have to go...

But I'll be able to see you the whole time

through that camera, see?

All right, I'll stay for a little while.

Hammond: She seems to have bonded with captain Carter.

Jackson: I can't blame her for being terrified.

It was not pretty over there.

What happened?

We counted 1,432 dead.

I believe we may be indirectly responsible.

How?

It's possible someone from earth brought a normally harmless bacteria there.

It learned some new traits from a local organism...

And mutated into the most deadly, infectious strain I've encountered.

Are you positive you haven't brought any of this disease back here with you?

Yes, sir. In fact, I think we may have brought back the cure.

Doctor?

The girl survived against all odds on a completely contaminated planet.

I'm hoping she has some sort of natural immunity that we might...

Use in fighting other serious infections already here on earth.

Why didn't the telescope team report that this outbreak was going on?

We don't know.

Hey...

Don't you want this?

See, we usually...

Put some stuff on it like this.

See?

Carter: Mmm!

That's me, okay?

You're not alone anymore.

This is fun.

Only eight hours to go.

Sweet.

I still do not understand this black hole.

Well, a black hole is this really...

Big thing.

It's—...

Well, basically, it's a...

Massive hole...

Out there.

I see.

What happens is...

Everything gets sucked into it...

Even light.

That's why we can't see it.

Just gets...

Sucked in.

Thank you.

Sure.

Hey.

How are you feeling?

I have to go somewhere for a little while,

but you're not going to be alone.

Daniel's going to be here the whole time.

Remember Daniel?

You're very brave, remember?

I'll be back before you know it.

Please don't go.

Feel like telling me your name?

Cassandra.

Hi, Cassandra.

I hurt.

Where?

Soundsgood. No fluid in her lungs.

She described it more like a sharp, stabbing pain.

I have no idea what to say or do.

Her latest blood work shows a marked potassium deficiency.

I have no idea what is causing it

or how it could have gotten so low so quickly.

One of the effects can be arrhythmia.

You're sure she doesn't have the disease?

Positive. These are not the symptoms of a bacterial infection.

Okay.

Thank you.

All right. Let's go back to our room.

Thank you. You are welcome.

What?

What is it?

Fraiser: Get her on the table.

Carter: Oh, my god.

What is it?

Irregular heartbeat. She's in arrest.

Code blue in the lab! What do I do?

We got a cardiac arrest, potassium deficiency.

Get me a number seven cuff and a tracheal tube now.

Medic I: Tube's ready. Medic 2: Tube's in.

Fraiser: Defib. Stop cpr.

Defib, 60 joules.

Come on, people. Come on.

Clear!

Fraiser: Let me in. Medic 1: Check the monitor.

I want you to notify the icu. Recheck her potassium levels stat.

Medic 1:Get on it now.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait!

Oh, my god!

What is it?

Get me a chest X-ray stat.

I don't know. Listen.

Oh, my god.

What is it?

I don't know,

but it wasn't there ten hours ago.

I'm inserting the scope.

Image up.

Fraiser: Pulse normal.

Warner: I'm advancing the scope.

Fraiser: Pulse is rising.

Warner: Adjusting view.

Well, parts of it are definitely organic.

Warner: I'm going to move in closer and try to get a biopsy.

Fraiser: Pulse is now 140.

I'm scraping the harder surfaces for samples.

We have to stop.

Just a little more.

Removing scope.

Prepare the paddles.

Charging.

Clear!

Wait! Pulse is normal.

Whatever this object is, it has the ability to stop her heart in an instant.

Can you remove it? Not without killing her.

Dr. Warner managed to get us samples.

I'm hoping the results of the analysis will tell us more about what this is.

Thank you, doctor.

Mom? Hey.

You okay?

I was dreaming about my mom.

Miss your mom?

I'm tired.

You should get some rest.

Don't worry. Everything's going to bejust fine.

When you get better, I promise you...

I am going to show you all kinds of wonderful things about this planet.

Promise? You bet.

How is she? She's fine. Sleeping.

If you want, I can sit with her tomorrow for a few hours.

No, we're okay.

Okay.

I just—...

I want to do this. Okay.

But I guess what I'm saying is, you don't have to do this alone.

Thanks

It's show time.

The systems are on—line.

Teal'c: The eclipse has reached its totality.

Whoa.

Carter: The layer of fatty tissue between the two sides of the object is decaying.

Very slowly, mind you, but still—...

What's the significance?

I'm about to do an experiment to find out.

One side of the object is made up of a combination of iron and potassium.

The other side is made up of the element that makes up the Stargate.

What?

It's the naquadah that was in her blood.

The object is collecting it.

Potassium can be one of the most volatile alkali metals on earth.

Combined with even a small concentration of naquadah and—...

That doesn't sound very good.

Carter: The room you're looking at

is in the subbasement floor of this complex.

It's lead sealed.

Let's see what happens when we put the two objects together.

Where are the samples?

I'm only using a microscopic particle of each.

The reading's off the scale. Gamma and particle radiation.

Are we safe? Carter: Yeah.

But we have a big problem.

If two microscopic particles can cause that—...

Then the object inside her

could cause a nuclear reaction a million times more.

What is that?

A star perhaps.

Hit the zoom.

That's way too close to be a star. Pull back.

What the hell is that?

It is a Goa'uld attack vessel.

Jackson: It's a setup. It has to be.

The goa'ulds wiped out every last living person on that planet except Cassandra.

Then they made us think it was our fault...

Because they knew we wouldn't leave her there.

They knew we would bring her back here.

They used their technology to put that thing inside of her.

They designed a way for us to help them create the device...

After she came through the Stargate...

So we wouldn't detect it until it was too late.

Fraiser: We gave her iron supplements.

We may have turned the device on

with electricity when we resuscitated her.

It's meant to destroy us?

Carter: At least this complex.

The threat to the goa'ulds, the Stargate.

They used that little girl like a trojan horse.

How long do we have?

One hour and 52 minutes.

You can predict it that accurately?

The cellular decay of the tissue Dr. Warner sampled...

Appears to be happening like clockwork.

How could they do this?

Well, to a Goa'uld, she's not as we see her.

She's a tool.

Her death is a very cheap way to get rid of us.

I know I am supposed to be detached—...

Who said that?

Sometimes I forget you're not military.

Teal'c: It is the ship of the Goa'uld nirrti...

An enemy of apophis.

Now what the hell is that? We must go.

Look, sir, I know this decision isn't easy for you.

In fact, the decision is quite easy.

The consequences are what's difficult.

There has to be another way.

I've been assured there's absolutely no way...

To remove the object from the girl without killing her.

Therefore, we have no choice.

According to Dr. Fraiser's measurements of the device's atomic decay...

We have one hour and 20 minutes left.

The girl should be prepared to go back

through the Stargate.

I'll take her, sir. Along with sg—4.

I want O'Neill and Teal'c to return with you.

We must get to the Stargate.

No argument from me!

This Goa'uld, nirrti—— 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.

How?

As soon as he entered the Stargate, there was a massive explosion.

The girl.

Chevron three encoded.

Harriman: Chevron four encoded. Cassandra?

Take your time. No hurry.

Harriman: Chevron five encoded. What is it?

She slipped into a coma.

What?

Chevron six—— what the hell?

Close the Iris. No need.

Getting an sg—1 remote signal.

Get the girl away from the gate.

So the goa'ulds kept sg—7 from coming back to warn us, all part of the plan.

Jackson: So what are we going to do now?

Teal'c, Dr. Fraiser says this device inside the girl is on a timer.

You're sure it will go off if we send the girl through the Stargate?

We should not attempt it.

The earth gate is what the Goa'uld want to destroy.

Cassandra's condition deteriorated when she got near the Stargate.

I can't risk the security of this mountain.

We'll have to take her somewhere else.

What about the abandoned nuclear facility—...

Right. It's just

this is major general Hammond. Get me the secretary of defense immediately.

Tell him it's a matter of life and death.

I can take her from here now, captain.

No, sir, it's okay.

This elevator goes down 30 floors through solid rock.

It takes about three minutes to get to the bottom.

That gives you four minutes to start back up.

Where are we going?

Please, go back to sleep.

I'm not tired anymore.

Are you crying?

Sit down here and rest for a while, okay?

I have to go.

You promised you'd never leave me alone.

I'll come back, okay?

I'll be back.

You're very brave, remember?

I'm very brave.

I have to close the door.

Sam?

Cassandra: Sam?

Jack, she's going back down.

The hell she is.

Captain Carter.

Captain Carter!

O'Neill: Sam, do you read me?

Colonel, I'm staying.

Negative. Colonel, she's awake.

Oh, god.

O'Neill: Captain Carter,

I am ordering you to get back up here right now.

Right now!

Are we going to die? No, we are not going to die.

Why don't you guys clear out?

Right.

We're both very brave.

I love you.

I love you too.

All right. Here we go.

I don't feel anything.

We could have been wrong about the time.

We could have been wrong about what would happen.

Captain Carter, can you hear me?

Sam, can you hear me?

We're okay.

Nothing happened.

Cassandra's fine. I'm fine.

It didn't happen.

Ijust—— I couldn't leave her, sir.

How did you know, captain?

She first slipped into the coma

when we brought her close to the Stargate.

As soon as we got her far enough away

from the Stargate, she woke up.

And I knew.

You knew?

You're getting a little heavy for this.

Cassandra!

Hey, there he is.

What's that?

We have a rule here on earth.

Every kid has got to have a dog.

This is a dog.

And he's yours.

So, how sure were you really?

I can't explain it, Daniel. I just knew.

A mother's instinct perhaps.

Subtle, but no.

Dr. Fraiser's going to take her until we can find qualified parents.

By qualified you mean ones with the right security clearance?

Yes.

I wouldn't be surprised if Dr. Fraiser wants

to keep her for herself...

As long as Cassandra's happy.

Teal'c: She appears to be.

I wasn't completely at ease until I knew...

That the object was shrinking

and being reabsorbed into her system.

Carter: Hey!

Hey, Samantha, see my new dog?

Wow. Your new dog?

It's an earth rule. Every kid has to have one...

But I don't mind.

Why don't I take the dog for a little walk?

Come here.

Teal'c, know anything about dogs?

Nothing.

When you find me a new home, will you come and visit me?

You bet ya. All the time.

That is, when you're on earth.

Right. Now, about that, Cassandra—...

I know. Stargate is a secret...

And I was born in a place called Toronto?

Right.

What are those?

Those are swings.

We never had any of those in Toronto.

They look like fun. They are. Come on.
