Original subtitles

All right, kids, we're due back.

Unless you can tell me you've discovered

something earth—shattering, I'm ready to bag this one.

We practically just got here.

We have no idea whatthis planet

has to offer.

Trees and moss.

Well, a few miles from the Stargate,

granted, but—...

Captain,

any signs of radio traffic in the last 24 hours?

Any chemical traces in the air

to indicate civilization?

None, sir.

Ah! Ah.

We'll, uh, flag it for an aerial survey.

As much as I love a good rain forest—...

O'Neill.

Help me.

If they find me...

Taldor.

Who?

Taldor.

If they find me now...

Daniel.

Uh, taldor. I—— I have no idea.

If they find me, they find you.

Taldor is bad?

All around us now.

All right, all right, all right.

We're surrounded by taldor. Fine.

Just relax. Come with us. Come on.

All right.

Keep an eye out for taldor, I guess.

Taldor.

What the hell is that?

It comes for us.

What?!

Everybody all right?

Female voice: You are prisoners.

O'Neill: And you are?

Justice. Taldor means justice.

It just came to me.

Male voice: You trespass on ancient grounds.

H ey, look,

we didn't mean to trespass.

We're explorers.

We just came through the Stargate from earth.

Female voice: It does not matter who you are

or where you are from. You helped roshure.

What, who, this guy? Yeah?

Male voice: Then you share in his crime.

What crime?

Female voice: Murder.

All right, look...

We don't know anything about a murder.

He was running from something,

he stopped for help, we helped.

Male voice: For the crimes of trespassing

on the ancient grounds...

Anybody want to jump in here?

Female voice: Of aiding a murderer...

We had no intention

of interfering with your justice system.

Male voice: Of carrying weapons

upon ancient grounds...

We're trained to defend ourselves.

Female voice: You will be sent th rough the Stargate...

Thank you.

Male voice: To the prison hadante...

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

This is just a misunderstanding.

Female voice: For the remainder of your lives.

H ey!

Well...

This sucks.

Why are they whistling?

O'Neill.

Oh, my god.

What?

The wounds are cauterized.

Yeah? So?

So whoever it was must have been standing

in front of the gate when it opened,

disintegrated by th e vortex.

Why would anyone do that?

It's ok.

We're not gonna hurt you. Please.

We just want to talk to you.

Hey, it's all right. We just want to talk to you.

Captain Carter!

Linea: Vishnoor!

You have been sent through the great circle.

Well, yes, but that was—...

You have been sentenced to life imprisonment

for your crimes, or you would not be here.

I am linea.

Well, I'm Daniel. This is Jack, uh,

captain Carter, an d Teal'c.

If you're the one who stopped this attack,

I——I suppose we're grateful.

This woman is under my protection.

She is notto be taken by any man.

It's all right.

Is that clear, vishnoor?

Is that clear?

You were saying? Uh...

That I can take care of myself.

I mean you no disrespect,

buti know what it is

to be a woman in hadante.

For what little it is worth...

Welcome.

Oh, uh, excuse me—...

Daniel...

Ithinkthat's about it for the welcome wagon.

You all right?

Yes, sir.

Ok, kids,

this is our situation. What do we need?

Well, a dial home device would be nice.

Ok, let's assume we don't find

one of those. What else?

Power to free up the superconductor,

bring on the Stargate.

So that we can dial the gate man ually.

It's worked before.

Right. So we're looking for a power source.

Teal'c, look scary and take point.

Uh, we're with him.

It's like we're in botany bay.

What?

Oh, the original name for Sydney harbor.

When the British first colonized Australia,

theyturned it into a continental prison.

It was half a world away.

Of course, this is probably more than that.

It's ok, Daniel. It's ok.

Perhaps the taldor believe the Stargate only goes here.

Wherever "here" is.

Here. I give.

You killed him?

No, no, no, no. Not me.

Killed himself. Not me.

Right.

Here. For you.

In exchange for?

Like linea. A gift for the protected one.

You are very strong, yes?

I am.

Maybe you challenge vishnoor...

Maybe you win.

Maybe... I be your friend.

Maybe not.

Uh, Daniel,

you andteal'c keep looking around botany bay here.

Carter and I are gonna have a little chat with—...

Linea.

Right.

Something's generating the power around here,

and she seems to be in charge, ok?

Oh, Daniel...

You gotta trust me on this.

Signs of weakness

are not a good thing in prison.

You know, sir, without our remote transmitter—...

Captain, general Hammond will send in a rescue team

as soon as we're overdue.

Help help me, please. They're after me. Please.

Get off!

What do you think they're gonna do to him?

Not our problem, captain.

We're getting sg—3's remote transmitter signal, sir.

Let's hope they found sg—I.

Open the Iris.

Have them report directly to the briefing room.

Yes, sir.

Sooner or later, all new arrivals come here.

You are not from any of the island states

under the taldor.

Uh... no.

We're from earth.

Earth is...

Well, it's way out there.

Then you are from a place

of which I have no knowledge.

Do you intend to challenge me?

Well, all we really want to do right now is get out of here.

Get out of here?

We are deep underground.

It is my understanding thatthe great circle

transported us to an entirely different world.

One that once teemed with life, but no more.

This place, thousands of years old,

is all that remains.

That's why the taldor turned into a prison.

They could see no other use.

So, bottom line,

Stargate is the only way in or out.

Many here believe that when a prisoner comes

th rough th e "Stargate,"

they can be caught in the circle's great wave

and return to the other side.

Actually...

They die.

You see, what you just referred to

as "th e great wave"

is actually an unstable vortex

generated when the gate first opens.

Anything inside its radius is completely disintegrated.

There was a pair of smoking feet

standing in place when we got here.

There are 2 ways and 2 ways only

to control a society—...

Through fear or through hope.

In this world, fear is a constant.

The belief in escape, whether founded or not,

allows hope.

So...

Out of hope,

these people are killing themselves?

If they believe it is escape,

who am ito say it is not?

Well, we have a better way.

What would you ask of me?

We need power.

There are many forms of power, my dear.

Some more subtle than others.

Well, for the moment, we just need

the electrical kind.

Then we both have something the other wants.

They just handed you sg—1's weapons

and remote transmitters,

offered no further explanation?

Onlythatthey'd been accused of a crime

and sent through the Stargate

to some sort of prison. What crime?

They said it wasn't my concern

and sent me straight to the Stargate.

I was going to take my men back—...

No, you did the rightthing returning to base.

From what you tell me, this has become

a diplomatic problem.

Let me get sg in on it.

Linea: I've long believed that the best way

to get knowledge is to give it.

These are my activators.

Is this a—— a chemical reaction?

Much more.

The liquid permeates the hard core

of the tear root and allows

for the organic material within to interact

on a basic level.

Basic meaning?

That which we cannot see but of which all is made.

Subatomic.

Are we talking about

organically—based cold fusion?

I do not know your terminology.

Uh, what you call basics, we call atoms.

Groups of protons, neutrons, and electrons—...

These are the basic building blocks

of all matter.

My activators spirit these materials

to combine within the cells of the tear root.

When new material is made, new energy is released,

flowing through the tendrils of the plant.

Colonel, that's cold fusion.

Hmm?

Whatever organic mineral the roots are made of

serves as a catalyst, causing the atoms

of her chemicals to fuse together.

If we had this on earth,

we'd practically eliminate pollution.

Captain... back to basics.

Will it power the Stargate?

It might.

Linea: Activate the great circle from this side?

The permutations number in the billions.

It's incalculable.

Well, actually, she figured it out.

You?

Oh, it was ateam effort, really.

How?

Uh, well—...

I'll tell you what.

Provide the power we need...

And we'll take you with us.

Onlythen will you share the knowledge?

That's the deal.

Teal'c, I think he's had enough.

If you once again try to physically harm myself

or any of my companions,

my Patience with you will expire.

Well, Teal'c...

Making friends, are you?

We found nothing of use.

Jackson: Although I am fairly certain that this—...

This structure is the ruins of some sort

of alien gate terminal

probably over 15,000 years old.

That almost certainly predates human civilization

which is not of any use, per se.

We may have found what we need.

Linea has a power source.

Not just any power source, either.

This is incredible.

And she's just gonna hand it over?

If we take her back with us.

Well, can we just do that?

I mean, we don't even know

what she's in here for.

What are we in here for?

Jaywalking, ithink.

Clearly,

linea has done something to earn the respect

of these prisoners.

Well, when she warn ed that man

to stay away from Sam, I saw fear in his eyes,

not respect.

I'm just going to assume

you've never been in prison before.

Oh, right. And—— and you have.

Oh, yeah.

Anyplace like this has its own set of rules.

They don't have to make sense.

Linea's obviously done whatever she's needed

to do to survive.

Just like we are.

Speaking of which...

Well, colonel, we're talking about powering

one completely alien device with another.

I mean, it's not like splicing together a few wires.

I'll take that as a maybe.

Teal'c: Without remote transmitters,

we still have no access to earth.

The Iris will be closed.

Ok. Daniel, you know more addresses than any of us.

Start thinking alternatives.

Incoming.

You eat last.

Thank you, vishnoor.

Sir, sg—I broke the law on p3x—775.

We don't have to agree with their law,

but we may have to respect it.

Sounds to me like they just made an honest mistake.

We tried to explain that, sir.

On our world, unknowingly abetting

a criminal doesn't merit this kind of punishment.

However, the taldor—...

They're the judicial body—...

They believe in zero tolerance almost religiously.

No appeals process.

Essentially a single sentence—...

Life imprisonment for nearly all offenses.

Doesn't sound like justice to me.

Perhaps not, sir, but the fact is,

they have virtually no crime.

Just crimes of passion.

Sometimes the occasional sociopath.

General, sir, sg—3 is prepared

and willing to go in.

No, sir. With all due respect,

force isn't the answer, sir.

They're far more technologically advanced

than we are. We couldn't possibly succeed

in extracting sg—I,

and we'd just be making an enemy.

Th ey've already made an enemy.

No. I disagree.

Sir, they're open to relations with us.

In fact, next time, ithink several members

of the taldor are going to allow us

to see their faces.

Sir, this is nuts. Let my team go back.

Major, as of 0800 tomorrow,

your unit is scheduled for a standard recon

of p2a—509. I expect you to be ready

to carry out your mission.

Yes, sir.

Major kovacek,

return to p3x—775.

Letthem know we mean business.

Better yet,

I'll tell them myself.

Itreat it before ingesting.

It is quite better than what you scraped

from the bottom of the barrel.

Uh, thank you.

Actually, I came to ask you something.

My crime. Yeah.

There was an experiment with tragic consequences.

People died.

How many people?

Thousands.

It began with aterrible plague

among the people who sentyou here.

Time was short, I offered my knowledge.

Instead of inhibiting the disease's progress,

my medicine accelerated its effects.

And they blamed you.

Yes.

I'm not surprised.

I mean, we didn't deserve this either.

Do notthink thati am innocent.

What you're saying is that take responsibility

for your actions.

Yes.

I have decided to accept your offer.

Great. I'll tell the colonel.

You have altered the balance

of power here. I have no choice.

I'm sorry. I don't understand.

It is only a matter of time

before vishnoor and his followers

challenge your friends.

I'll warn them. Thank you.

Tell th em also...

That if they fail,

they will not live to try again.

Kovacek: We'd better hurry, sir.

The taldor believe punctuality

is emblematic of civilized behavior.

They do, do they?

We'll be transported almost immediately

upon our arrival to their tal'al,

or speaking area.

Once there, the taldor may

or may not be willing

to show you their actual face.

Why is that?

To put it politely, sir, they're xenophobic.

To put it frankly, they're arrogant,

narrow—minded, self—centered—...

I get the picture.

Butthey do seem to want to maintain

diplomatic contact.

Female voice: Special envoy, you may embark when ready.

Well, here goes.

Since this is your firsttime, sir,

a quick word of advice.

It's better to exhale just prior

to crossing the event horizon.

One's instinct is to inhale immediately

upon arriving on the other side. Also—...

I think I'll figure it out on the way.

You're sure they dialed the correct address?

Yes, sir.

The things I do for these people.

Ok, so cimmeria's out. So is chulak.

Captain.

She says she'll give us power

as long as we take her with us.

Well, that's fine, but we still need a destination.

Ok, well, p3a—707 might work, but, uh,

there's no telling how we'd be there before—...

For crying out loud.

Let's go.

What's going on?

Carter: They think it's a way to escape.

What? Excuse me. Listen to me.

Daniel!

Look, this—— This won't save you.

Daniel, get out of there.

You won't escape. You'll die.

Out of my way!

How dare you interfere.

Jackson: I was trying to save those men's lives.

They're dead now.

They haven't escaped anywhere.

They are dead.

Vishnoor.

Leave him.

He challenges me.

I accept.

How can you letthis happen?

Roshure justthrew his life away.

Itwas his life.

The rules are the rules.

Even I must obey them.

Linea, you can stop this.

I told you this was going to happen.

Teal'c! Teal'c!

Uhh!

He's still alive, but just barely.

Female voice: You are most pu nctual.

Thank you.

Male voice: You are the one called general Hammond?

Yes.

I am responsible for those people

you have in prison.

By using the word responsible,

the general is in no way assuming

accountability for the actions of sg—I.

Begging your pardon, sir,

I don't want you to end up in prison

along with them.

On the contrary, iwould gladly

hold myself responsible.

I ordered them to this world in the first place.

Female voice: Is this an admission of guilt?

No. Yes, it is.

As a matter of fact, if you would allow me

to take the place of sg—I —...

Male voice: You ordered them to aid a murderer?

No.

Female voice: Then you're not guilty.

Male voice: Not guilty.

Female voice: Assumption of guilt by proxy is rejected.

If my people are not released,

the imprisonment of the members of sg—I

will be considered a hostile act.

Peaceful relations between our two worlds

will end right here, right now.

Male voice: Our law is immutable.

Your law is unjust.

Sir, I'm not sure if this—...

What's it going to be?

Female voice: Release is impossible.

Why?

Male voice: There are no returns from hadante... for anyone.

There. I have done what I can.

I don't understand what happened.

Your friend prevailed.

What is your name?

Simian. I took food.

I was hungry, starving.

They sent me here.

Hold still.

Hold still.

He's blind.

Yes, but not always so.

It was taken from me a little each day.

There will be pain.

Unh, unh.

Oh!

His eyes now see.

You're welcome.

He does not seem grateful.

Uhh...

Daniel?

Unh. What happened?

Well, you actually

won a fight, Danny boy.

I don't particularly remember

getting the upper hand.

Neither do I, but you must have.

P2a—509.

A little brain damage along the way?

No, uh, uh...

Sg—3 was scheduled to go on a mission

to p2a—509.

General Hammond said so

in our last planning briefing.

We rendezvous with sg—3,

and we use their remote transmitters to get home.

And this just came to you?

No, this came to me

while I was suffocating.

Then p2a—509 it is.

Uh, linea, do they send food...

And I'll use that term loosely,

does it come through the gate

on a regular basis?

Every day at the same time.

All right, that's our window. Will that work?

Power the gate and manually dial in

while the other prison ers

are off eating.

What are they waiting for?

They believe you killed vishnoor.

You must distribute the food.

Whoa, whoa, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

They're first.

Thank you.

Ok, well, I guess—...

Carter: Ok, that's it.

Address?

Escape! Escape!

Prisoner: No!

Where in the name of heaven

did you come from?

Prison, actually. We just broke out.

Well, how——your remote transmitters

have been returned to us.

Sg—9 and I spent the last 2 days

trying to negotiate your release,

with no luck, I might add.

Well, actually, we returned via p2a—509.

Daniel remembered that sg—3 would be there, sir.

Major Warren found us and was good enough

to let us borrow atransmitter to open the Iris.

And if I may ask?

Oh, I'm sorry. General Hammond, this is linea.

We wouldn't have gotten out without her, sir.

Then we owe you a great debt, ma'am.

Welcome to th e sgc.

I've never seen such a place.

It seems so alien.

So it was for me.

Over time it has become... home.

General Hammond, sir, with your permission,

I'd like to offer linea quarters here at the base.

There's a great deal she has to teach us.

In fact, I brought back samples of a root

that with linea's activators can generate—...

I'll take that into consideration, captain.

And in the meantime, I'd like you all

to reportto the infirmary, including your guest.

Begging your pardon, ma'am.

It's merely precautionary.

Oh, I would do the same.

We'll debrief after you've all had a chance to rest.

Yes, sir. Come with me.

Linea...

Thank you.

You spoke of a machine for storing data.

Yeah. Right here.

You have a way

of representing the basics?

Molecules and atoms.

Yes.

Sit down.

Just use this.

If I give you the basic structure

of my activators,

can you fabricate?

Of course, that was about the time

Daniel picked a fight with this big smelly guy.

H e actually won.

Enter.

Found him lurking near our base camp, sir.

You need to hear this.

General, this is the...

Former blind man I was telling you about.

Firstthing I see...

Destroyer of worlds.

Excuse me?

She created a sickness.

The one you call linea.

She.

The destroyer.

Uh, she told Carter there was a plague.

She offered to help

not help.

She started it.

And this Stargate system spans thousands of worlds?

Th eoretically even more than that.

We've charted several hundred already.

So far we've only visited a fraction of them.

We've discovered that most of the worlds

in the network can sustain human life.

Where is the repository of this knowledge?

It's all in the computers. I'll show you.

I'm in your debt, Samantha.

This shall not be forgotten.

Our island states were at war.

She created a sickness.

One she couldn't get herself.

A terrible sickness.

Go on.

Half our people died.

She came,

promised to save the rest.

By then it had spread.

Island to island.

Bythe time they caught her,

she had destroyed half a world.

What's going on?

Unauthorized gate activation.

Abort the countdown. Get a team to the gate room.

It's sealed, sir.

Unseal it. Colonel O'Neill,

effect the manual override.

Where's linea?

When we came to, she was gone.

Technician: Worm hole's been activated.

You were unconscious?

Only for a few minutes.

Technician: The abort command is not responding, sir.

Step away from that gate.

Shut it down.

Computer: Self—destruct in 30 seconds.

It won'ttake our code, sir.

Close the Iris.

Computer: Self—destruct

try shutting the whole system down.

We can't, sir.

She's gone into the computer,

she's got the coordinates, everything.

Computer: Self—destruct in 10 seconds.

Computer: 8, 7...

The codes have been erased.

This doesn't make any sense.

2,1.

Redial those coordinates.

Request permission to go after her.

The entire system just crashed.

Man: We've got nothing here.

Well, get it back up.

Colonel.

We got her out.

The destroyer of worlds.
