Man: Incoming traveler. Incoming traveler.

Off—world activation.

Closing the Iris.

There's no one scheduled to come back for 24 hours. Who is it?

561's remote access code, sir.

What? They just went through.

Opening the Iris. Stand by.

The gate is drawing twice the power as normal, and it's increasing!

Man: We've got one!

System overload!

The wormhole is disengaged!

Get a medical team in here now!

Teal'c, are you all right?

I am.

Where are colonel O'Neill and captain Carter?

They could have not been more than two meters behind.

I do not know.

Dr. Jackson's still unconscious, but Dr. Warner thinks he'll be all right.

I need to know what went on back there, Teal'c.

We were under fire.

Distant. Energy weapons of some kind.

Possibly Goa'uld technology.

So it's possible O'Neill and Carter were struck by enemy fire.

I do not believe so.

They were but a few meters behind me as we passed through the Stargate.

How many hostiles were there?

They were some distance away,

but we appeared to be surrounded.

We were there only moments.

Colonel O'Neill ordered us to lay down cover fire

while Jackson dialed home.

They should've made it through the gate.

I do not understand why they did not.

Preliminary report on the Stargate repair, sir.

Repairs?

There was some kind of overload in transit.

I must return immediately.

Not with an army waiting on the other side. Sorry.

General Hammond, I suggest a second probe be sent through.

As soon as the Stargate is working again...

We'll do just that.

Oh, god.

Thank god.

Try to stay put, sir. I think your leg's broken.

No, my leg's definitely broken.

What's the bad news?

Unless they redecorated the gate room, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.

Daniel must have misdialed.

Misdialed?

You mean this place is a wrong number?

For crying out loud.

Where is he?

He's not here. Neither is Teal'c.

He has to be.

I tried that.

You've been unconscious for nearly two hours.

They came through the gate before we did.

I know that.

I also know that we're alone here...

Wherever here is.

Ice.

I think we're inside a deep crevasse of a glacier.

Iftheir Stargate's been overrun by ice, possibly on a planet during an ice age.

There is some light filtering through up there...

And there are some fissures in the ice, but they're too narrow to follow far.

We're in trouble, sir.

Nonsense.

We'll just dial home...

And straighten all this out.

Where's the dhd?

Can't find that either.

So...

We're in trouble.

We're in trouble.

We've almost replaced all of the superconductive interface elements, sir.

The old ones all melted. It's gonna take some time to load—test them, though.

Just tell me the minute we can send a probe through.

That'll be 24 hours, general, minimum.

Captain Carter and colonel O'Neill do not have that long.

I'll give you halfthat. No, sir, 24 hours is the best I can do.

Then you'd better get back to it.

Yes, sir. Let's go.

Okay, I think it's set.

You think it's set? I'm positive.

With a splint, you'll be as good as new.

Just take it easy, doctor. Wrong kind of doctor, I'm afraid.

You wouldn't thinkjagged bone digging into raw nerves would hurt, but it does.

Sorry, sir, but I've never done this before in my life.

Is this your first broken bone?

This would be...

Nine...

If you count skull fractures.

How'd you manage that? A little parachuting mishap.

Over the borders of Iran and Iraq back in...

Eighty—...

Okay, this is gonna hurt, sir.

I know, I know.

So, what happened?

I hit the ground. Go figure.

My chute...

Opened a little late...

And it hurt...

Just like that.

I'm doing the best I can.

I know you are. Can you just be done?

So you hit the ground and—...

And they all lived happily ever after.

Almost there. No, you're there, captain!

That's a great splint. Stop!

So, how long before you were rescued?

No rescue.

It wasn't exactly...

An official mission...

If you know what I mean.

I had to make it out on my own.

Nine days.

Wow.

What got you through it?

Sara.

Your wife.

At the time.

I had to see her again.

You tallied our supplies yet? Yes, sir.

Supplies for three days, but we can stretch that.

We've got a little drinking water, but—...

Ice melts. Yeah.

And we've got our field cooking gear to melt it.

Flashlight batteries are gonna be a problem.

We've got thermal blankets.

That's good.

By the way, captain...

We are gonna get out of here.

That's an order.

How's the splint feel?

Captain?

You have to believe me.

I want to, sir.

I just don't see how.

Then we'd better start looking for a way...

Because...

I'll be damned if I'm gonna die on some godforsa Ken block of ice...

A million light—years from home. Is that clear?

Yes, sir. Good.

Now help me up.

I don't think you should move. Probably not.

But my butt's freezing to the ground. Come on.

A little paint, a couple windows...

Maybe a fireplace in the corner...

It'll bejust like home.

Teal'c...

Teal'c: The Stargate has malfunctioned.

We came back through the gate at too great a velocity.

Jack and Sam?

They did not follow.

Yes, they did.

I know they did.

They were right behind us. It doesn't make any sense.

Iconcur

in a few hours a probe will be sent back...

In an attempt to determine their fate.

O'Neill: We might be able to climb out of here.

You might, anyway. What?

I said, you might be able to climb out of here.

Colonel!

I found it!

Found what?

The dhd.

The glacial flow must have separated the Stargate from its dial—home device.

But it looks like it might be intact.

God.

Can we dig it out?

Even if it doesn't work, we can use the chopped ice to make drinking water.

What's wrong with your chest?

I think I cracked a rib too.

Why didn't you say something?

I was afraid you'd try to splint it.

I'll be fine.

I've been thinking about where Daniel and Teal'c might be.

Yeah?

So far I count three possible explanations.

One: Daniel misdialed...

And they're here.

Somewhere we haven't found.

I don't see 'em. Right.

Two: Daniel didn't misdial...

But for some reason the Stargate malfunctioned during transit.

Don't ask me how. I haven't figured that part out yet.

Anyway, they got sent back to earth...

But for some reason we got sent here.

What's three?

Three.

The Stargate malfunctioned.

We got sent to this planet. Daniel and Teal'c got sent to another one.

What's four?

There is no four.

It's after three.

Not this time, colonel.

All right.

We'll assume they made it back to earth.

They'll start sending search parties.

To where? Here, I hope.

Where would they begin? They have no idea where we are.

With all the possible Stargates, a random search could take ten years.

Not if they look here first.

Even ifall sg teams started searching right now...

The mathematical probability of them even—...

Captain.

I thinktoo much.

Man: Charging circuit mx—43...

At 20 percent.

Twenty percent, sir.

Man: Checking transport status.

One hundred.

Man: Circuit is holding.

Reset and stand by.

She's all yours, general.

Well done.

You heard the man.

Man: Chevron one encoded.

Sg—3 and I are ready and awaiting your orders.

I won't authorize this rescue unless the probe sends back the right pictures.

Chevron two encoded. All defense teams stay alert.

These hostiles may have both our addresses

and our transmitter code.

Chevron three encoded.

They wouldn't give up transmitter codes to the enemy.

Not willingly, no.

Chevron four encoded.

I do not believe they would do so, even under duress of torture.

Chevron five encoded.

In the event we find no enemy activity on the other side...

You will coordinate with major castleman on the rescue mission.

Chevron six encoded. I understand.

Chevron seven is locked.

The probe should reach the Stargate of p4h771 in five seconds.

Four... three... two...

N ow.

Jackson: No sign of Jack or Sam, but no evidence they got into a firefight either.

Hammond: They were waiting for us. Close the Iris. Disengage the Stargate.

Sg—3, stand down.

The rescue mission is scrubbed.

General—...

Soup's on.

Carter: Just a little more. I'm almost through.

Come on, now. You don't want it to get cold.

Didn't know you could cook.

I can't.

But my melted ice is to die for.

Thank you.

Maybe I should have another look at you.

I'm fine. Eat.

I've been thinking about how the Stargate might have malfunctioned.

Yeah?

Well, we don't totally understand how it works...

But the theory we have isthat"

the gate creates an artificial worm hole...

That somehow transfers an energized matter stream...

In one direction...

Along an extradimensional conduit.

I think the matter stream between Stargates got redirected...

Like a lightning bolt jumping from...

One point to another in midstrike.

Now, I figure it had to have been the attack on p4a771.

The gate itself was probably struck...

By enough energy during the firefight...

To influence the direction of the matter stream...

Before we reached the other side.

I'm sorry. I wasn't listening.

What I'm saying is...

We must have emerged through a Stargate...

Relatively close to earth in the gate network...

Somewhere between p4a771 and earth.

Now, if the sg rescue teams reach the same conclusion...

It could significantly narrow their search.

That's good news. Yeah.

So if they are not there...

And they are not here—...

It is possible they may have perished within the wormhole.

Yeah, in which case they're gone. I know. I've thought of that.

But if they are alive...

If there's any chance this malfunction sent them to a different Stargate—...

Was it not captain Carter...

Who deduced the possible combination of Stargate symbols...

Numbered in the millions?

Yeah.

Well, we have to narrow it down.

Carter: Serpent guard.

I guess he didn't make it.

You think?

Okay, this is p4a771.

This is earth.

The Stargate shut itself down just after Teal'c and I came through.

There was an energy surge.

Right, but what would that have done to the wormhole itself?

I have no idea. Could it just disappear?

No, it would have to discharge somewhere.

Like another Stargate?

Yeah, maybe.

Sir, it's all theoretical...

But we think that Stargates are basically giant superconductors.

Charged matter streams along lines of force between them.

Positive to negative.

Like electricity, right?

Except for the fact that the whole trip happens outside our dimension, yeah.

What if it jumped?

Redirected itself here?

Or here?

Or anywhere along here?

You're suggesting we search all these worlds?

But we've narrowed an entire galaxy of Stargates down to a few possibilities.

Assuming you're right, why haven't they used that Stargate to come back?

Teal'c and I were flung out so fast...

I don't even remember hitting the ramp.

They could be hurt, so we won't have to search far...

From the gates themselves.

We owe it to them to try.

Have you ID'd the seventh symbol yet?

Yeah.

This one has to be the point of origin.

I've never seen it before.

Oh, no. Batteries.

Guess it's now or never.

I've always preferred now to never.

Here goes.

Damn it! Damn!

Did you dial the right address?

Yes.

It has to be something as simple as the control interface.

If we can just dig down to the panel on the dhd, I can fix it.

Negative.

Sir, we gotta keep trying. Of course we do.

But we've been awake...

For a very long time.

It'll be there in the morning.

God.

What about you?

I told you we're gonna get out of here.

It's just gonna take longer than we thought.

Yes, sir.

Captain.

Yes, sir.

Hammond: Dr. Jackson?

We just received probe telemetry from p5c11 and 12.

Neither of them have a breathable atmosphere anymore...

If they ever did.

I have formally reported colonel O'Neill and captain Carter as missing in action.

Why?

"Missing in action" doesn't mean we stop looking.

Missing.

I'm missing something.

Captain.

As much as I might...

Otherwise think this is nice—...

Try to sleep.

Is that what we're doing?

You're exhausted. You passed out.

I thought we had to combine body heat...

Or we wouldn't make it through the night.

That's fine.

It's just very hard to sleep...

With broken ribs...

When someone's lying on you.

Sorry.

That's better.

We'll sleep for a few hours. Then I'll fix the dhd.

Okay.

Good night.

Colonel.

It's my side arm, I swear.

No giggling. Please.

If we don't make it...

I won't have any regrets.

You?

I'd regret...

Dying.

Carter: God, why won't you work?

Carter...

Colonel?

Sir?

I'm usually the first one up.

You're bleeding internally. I don't know how badly.

Your broken leg may already be frostbitten. I can't tell.

I've been trying to warm it up with the last of our cooking sterno...

But that's about had it.

What's the bad news?

Help me up.

No, sir.

You need to heal. That's an order.

I give the orders around here.

Not doctor's orders.

I want you to drink as much of this as you can.

Once that sterno dies, we won't be able to thaw any more.

We should have gotten you out of here by now. I'm sorry.

You will. You will.

I have been working on the control panel...

For the last 12 hours.

Itjust—I don't know why it won't work.

It should work.

I'm missing something.

Captain. Sir?

It's time to go to plan "b."

What would plan "b" be?

You take the rest of the supplies...

And climb out of here.

Take your chances up on the planet.

Head towards daylight.

If I can't get that Stargate to work...

We will both go.

Right. I'll race you.

All right, captain.

Make it work.

Yes, sir.

Major castleman requires medical attention.

Medical team to the embarkation room.

Put the Iris on save.

Come on, let's move it.

What happened?

We were exploring a cave not far from the Stargate.

He fell several meters from a rock ledge.

There was no sign of captain Carter or colonel O'Neill.

Are you all right?

I am ready to embark again.

I'm calling the search off.

What?

This is the last of the planets that fit your theory.

It's been a few days. What if we stop just short offinding them?

I'm sorry.

The energy converters are intact.

Oh, god, reset.

Reset! Why didn't I think?

Colonel!

I'm gonna interrupt the power.

I'm gonna shut it all off and turn it on again.

This could work.

Work.

Work.

Did you see that?

Why are you here?

I couldn't sleep.

I was thinking that I must be missing something, and now I just realized...

We ruled out a world we shouldn't have.

Guess it didn't work.

I'm sorry.

Not your fault.

I don't understand why it won't work.

Plan "b."

No, sir.

Sam...

I'm dying.

Follow my order.

Please.

Sir.

Please.

Yes, sir.

How many earth—based cultures have we encountered from other worlds...

From periods both before and after we think the Stargate was buried?

Several, I take it.

And we've only scratched the surface.

We've tried to account for these discrepancies...

With theories of parallel or accelerated—...

What's your point, doctor?

What if there's a second Stargate here...

And this energy surge made the wormhole jump from one Stargate to another...

Here?

On earth? Yes.

Teal'c, would the Goa'uld have put more than one Stargate on a planet?

If the first became lost to them, it is possible.

But remember, the one that ra put here...

Might not have been the first.

The Goa'uld didn't build the Stargate system.

Then where is it?

Colonel, I can't see the surface yet.

It looks like it just keeps going up.

It was an honor...

Serving with you.

Yes, sir.

It'd have to be in a remote location, or it would've been discovered by now.

It could've even been buried until recently.

Otherwise, the Goa'uld would've continued to use it.

Let us hope it is not still buried.

We're looking for radio transmissions on sg—1's emergency frequency.

Coordinate with our military listening posts around the entire globe.

General.

When we first opened our Stargate, it used to shake a lot.

The ground, the whole facility, everything.

We've installed frequency dampeners that limit that to only a slight vibration.

Okay, but what if the second gate doesn't have those?

Would it shake enough to indicate its location on a seismometer?

Damn right it would.

Run a search for all recent seismic activity worldwide.

See ifany coincide with the time of our Stargate malfunction.

Check around 4:00 am. Local time.

I was here. I thought someone was trying an off—world activation.

Nothing happened, except the chevrons glowed and there was a slight vibration.

Captain Carter and colonel O'Neill.

What happens when you dial your own phone number?

Wrong person to ask. What happens when you dial your own phone number?

You get a busy signal. Exactly.

What else could cause a vibration like that except them trying to dial home?

They couldn't get through.

Even if their seventh symbol looked different...

The coordinates of the two gates would be exactly the same.

I'm almost there.

I'm gonna try to bring back help, sir.

I want you to hold that thought.

We got it! Antarctica!

The timing of the event is to the second...

Including the event that Dr. Jackson...

Expenenced a few hours ago.

Latitude and longitude? Yes, sir.

It's only about 50 miles out of McMurdo.

General, permission—— granted!

Order McMurdo station to begin a search of those coordinates now.

Colonel?

It's an ice planet.

That's all there is, as far as the eye can see.

No chance.

Colonel!

I'm coming down.

Colonel?

Sara...

I'm here, Jack.

Cold.

I'm so cold.

I know.

It's all right.

You can sleep now.

It was an honor serving with you too, colonel.

McMurdo, this is rescue team Charlie. We've found them. Over.

Jackson: Sam.

Come on.

She's gonna be okay.

As is colonel O'Neill.

Let's get them inthechopper

the colonel, he's bleeding internally.

We know, captain. Don't worry. He's going to be all right.

General...

You came through the Stargate for us.

Not exactly, captain.

A team from the sgc will be arriving within the hour to secure this area.

In the meantime, let's get these people home.
