Carter: In the 5 weeks
since our return

from px7—941—...

Known to its indigenous
population as madrona.

We've been able to process

most of the data
we've collected,

and as a result,
we think we've corroborated

some fairly startling
first—hand observations.

Which are?

Well, sir, the inhabitants
of this planet

can pro—actively affect
their own climate.

That's a bit of
an understatement, general.

They can call it up,
just like... that.

You got a crop that needs water?

Order some rain.

You have a crop that needs sun?

It's literally
a matter of dialing it up

you sure you weren't
UN der the local voodoo?

Believe me, general,

no one
was more skeptical than I,

but the fact is,
we may have stumbled on

the most important
piece of technology

the sgc mission has
discovered to date.

Even the Goa'uld do not
possess such technology.

And you think you know
how they do it?

Well, our best theory
is thatthe planet

was terraformed
about 900 years ago.

Now, the madronans are
technologically primitive,

so it's likely the planet
was terraformed

by another alien race.

The weather seems to be
regulated by this device.

Daniel: The madronans
call it "th e touchston e."

It's an ancient artifact,

probably made
by the other alien race.

Uh, it's rightthere.

It's——it's in the statue's hand.

The high priest turns a series

of calibrated rings,

which seem to determine
meteorological conditions

over the entire plan et's
surface.

We have any idea
what makes it tick?

That's why we'd
like to go back, sir.

Carter wants
to get a closer look

with some of her specialized...

Doohickies.

"Doohickies"?

I believe that's
the technical term, sir.

My instruments will measure
the touchstone's emissions,

and hopefully give us
a better idea of how it works.

Any chance we could

borrow it for a few days?

Do a little
backward engineering?

You have to understand, general,

the touchstone maintains
the weather on this planet.

Right.

Ok, then...

Go see what you can figure out.

Greetings, roham,

Princess la—moor.

It's the visitors, uncle.

We demand you return
the touchstone.

What? It's missing?

Do not play games.

You must return it at once.

No games.

We didn'ttake it.

It is gone. Come.
See for yourselves.

Well, I guess this explains
the storm clouds outthere.

Without the touchstone
to shield us,

we shall soon be overtaken
by the elements.

It's only a matter of time
before we begin to die

because of your theft.

All right. Here's
a question for you.

If it was so important,
why wasn't it guarded?

It was guarded.

We let down our guard
because of your people.

We trusted you.

We did not take it.

Had we taken the artifact,

there would have been no need
to return to this place.

There were witnesses.

And what did these
"witnesses" see?

A group of people
taking the touchstone

in the dead of night.

They were dressed
much as you are

and carried weapons like yours.

Did they see where
these people went?

They left by your Stargate.

As you know,

none of our people know
how to use the portal.

Roham: Guards,

disarm the wrongdoers.

Hold it!

All right. We came
here in peace,

we expect to go in one...

Piece.

Then explain yourself...
But be warned.

If your answers
are not satisfactory,

then we have no choice
butto seek retribution.

Taking revenge upon us

will not return the touchstone,

for we are not
those who took it.

Perhaps not, but it will
lead us to those that did.

Only if they care
what happens to us.

Look, let me give
you a little life lesson

about thieves.

They're not really in touch

with their feminine side.

Caring would be
on a low... priority.

My uncle grows impatient.

If the thieves who
took the touchstone

used the gate to escape,

then the only hope
to get it back

is to let us go back
through the gate.

And if they did come from earth,

we have technology that
can help us find out

who the thieves might have been.

How do we know that
you will not use the gate

to escape responsibility?

Trust us?

We are a simple people, colonel.

We have no means
to protect ourselves

from this disaster.

If my uncle decides
to trust you this day,

our entire future will
depend on that decision.

Ok, that's a little pressure,

but we can handle that.

Letthem go.

Please.

Help us.

Colonel, why are you
back so early?

You were supposed to be
stu dying that weather device.

And we would be, sir,
if it were still there.

What do you mean?

We should talk
in your office, sir.

What's this about, colonel?

The touchstone
was stolen, sir...

By people wearing sgc uniforms

who came and went
th rough the Stargate.

What? Well, who was it?

Everyone involved here
would like to know that, sir.

I don't appreciate your
implication, colonel.

Why would I send your
team to stu dy the thing

if I knew it wasn'tthere?

No implication intended, sir.

But circumstances do beg
the next logical question,

which is...

Could any one
of the other sg teams

have gone th rough
without your order?

Not without my knowing about it.

Yes, sir.

General, do you mind
if I have Carter

re—check the dialing computer?

Justto see if there
are any signs of anyone...

Sn eaking th rough the gate...

Cove rtly?

Behind your back,
as it were, sir.

Nothing happens
regarding that Stargate

without my knowing about it.

If a person sneezes
near it, I geta report.

I understand, sir.

Colonel.

Have Carter check it, anyway.

Thank you very much, sir.

Anything yet?

Not on the touchstone, sir.

Possibly its effects.

Have you been watching
the weather channel?

I'm more of a c—span guy.

Observe, O'Neill.

Newscaster: Chalk it up
to a delayed El nino effect,

or just a run of bad luck,

but another set of storms

is stretched all over america,

and in of all places,
Phoenix, Arizona,

causing widespread damage.

Reports of injuries
are still trickling in.

We have flooding
in palm Springs, California,

and in Florida.

And that's not all.

There's record rainfall
in Albuquerque...

Golf ball sized—hail
in the panhandle,

and 3 major rivers cresting.

Something is definitely

altering this plan et's weather.

And you think
it's this touchston e?

Kind of a reach, isn't it?

Well, not really,
if you think about it.

Whoever leftthat device
originally on madrona

probably keyed it to
the atmospheric conditions

on that planet.

Somebody steals it,
brings it back to earth,

starts fiddling around with it

with no idea that they're doing,

and, who knows?

We don't know it's on earth.

Carter: I'm thinking it is.

There was a huge
transitory glitch

3 days ago when sg—2 returned

from a routine mission,

roughly the same hour

as the touchstone was taken.

But sg—2's point of origin

was galaxies away from madrona.

Yeah, butthis energy spike
is off the charts.

You remember what
happened the lasttime

the gate's power supply
was overloaded?

Itjumped to the second gate

in the antarctic.

Uh, thanks for the memories.

Captain Carter,

are you suggesting that sg—2
used the second gate

to steal the touchston e?

No. Not sg—2.

Their mission went
as planned through our gate,

but these readings
suggest that someone

might have been
using the second gate

a split second
after sg—2 used ours

to tryto hide
the energy spike in ours.

Kind of like shooting off a gun

when atrain's going by?

To hide the sound.

Yes, sir.

Now, let's see,

if I'm right, sg—2's log

should have the same
electronic signature

that was present the lasttime

the wormhole jumped its tracks.

Bear with me.

Bearing.

Damn. It should show up
on the primary metalog.

Nothing.

Try the backup log.

Yeah. Possibly.

Now, if someone did
try to systematically

erase all the relevant data,
it would have been easy

to overlook a third—tier backup

yes. There it is.

The second gate
had to have been used.

The energy signature's
identical.

Who would have been authorized
to use the second gate?

I thought it'd been
officially decommissioned.

It was...

Officially.

Come.

No. I need to talk to him now.

Son, do you know
what color this phone is?

Yes, I'll hold.

Carter find anything?

Yes, sir. Apparently,
the second gate

is being used.

What?

I was given top—level assurances

that gate was to be sealed.

Case of the left hand
not knowing

what the right foot
is doing, sir?

That's what
I'm trying to find out.

No. It can't wait, son.

Well, make sure
he gets the message

the second he comes out.

And suddenly,

the president wasn't available.

Every time I call he's tied up

it's like someone
is orchestrating his schedule

to keep us from speaking today.

Got a someone in mind, sir?

This is gonna sound
paranoid, colonel.

Back when the sg program began,

there was a philosophical
skirmish about its man date.

Some people wanted to make sure

that any and all discoveries
were brought back,

regardless of considerations
like interplanetary diplomacy.

Do you mind if I ask
who these "some people" were?

Well, the truth is I'm not sure

I ever fully knew who they were.

I had a feeling that
someone chose not to surface

during the debate.

Not military—...

Politicians pulling strings
behindthe scenes.

No one said so, exactly.

30 years in the service,

you develop an instinct
aboutthese things.

General, is your gut telling you

thatthis group——
Person, whatever—...

Is responsible for
stealing the touchston e?

I'm a long way from
drawing that conclusion,

but I'll be damned

if I'll be blocked by some
sycophant in the white house.

I have other channels
I can pursue,

markers I can call in.

General...

I knowi don't have
to tell you this,

but whoever these
darkside guys are...

They can do some
pretty nasty damage

if they figure out
how to work this thing.

I know, colonel. I know.

Let me do some digging.

In an effort to determine

weather the touchstone
was being used on earth,

I figured out a way

to measure the doppler shift

for gravitational
and radiation emissions.

I used one of my
monitoring instruments

andtied it into

what did you find?

Well, sir, it's somewhere

in the Nevada desert.

Now, from the
crude triangulation,

iwas able to determine—...

N evada?

Yes, sir. Is something wrong?

The second gate
ended up in Nevada,

didn't it, sir? Nellis?

Yes.

Well, if the gate is there,

it makes sense
that the touchstone

has at least been there.

You're going
to love this, colonel.

Guess who just got himself
reassigned to nellis?

Do tell.

Colonel maybou rn e.

Oh, well, here's good news.

N ellis——that's th e base
we send the technology

we bring back
through the gate, right?

Yes. The groom lake facility.

Area 51.

What are we looking at?

We sentthe malp back to madrona.

It's basically a blizzard, sir.

Winds gusting up
to 80 miles an hour.

It gets any more intense

and the whole plan et's
a write—off.

How much time
do they have remaining?

Well, if my extrapolations
are correct,

we're looking
at 48 hours, maybe 72

before all the terraforming
is kaput.

Permission to take a little trip

to Nevada, sir?

Ok, I'll call the commander
at nellis and get you cleared.

Uh, general...

It's become pretty obvious

that our own people
are involved here.

The government types, you know.

How do you know who to trust?

We already have the necessary

clearance level, sir.

Colonel, I need some
documents hand—delivered

to the groom lake facility.

Are those documents
sensitive enough

to warrant a 3—man team

with a Jaffa escort, sir?

Absolutely.

Colonel O'Neill.

Major Reynolds, n.I.D.

Welcome to area 51.

Yeah. Nice to meet you.

This is captain Carter,

Dr. Jackson, an d Teal'c.

Gentlemen, ma'am.
I can'ttell you

what an honor it is to meet you.

You guys are a bit
of legend around here.

Yeah, well, thanks.

We were hoping to meet
with colonel maybourn e.

He's been paged, sir.

I'm sure if you'll come inside,

he'll find you there.

So you obviously
know who we are?

Of course, sir.

If it wasn't for you
and the other sg teams,

we'd be out of business here.

Follow me, please.

To your left
is medical research.

They're focusing on

the potential new cure
for Alzheimer's

that sg—5 brought back.

The other side is geology,

space metallurgy,
and artifacts stu dy.

That's where they're
poring over your notes

on that heliopolis
place, Dr. Jackson.

"Meaning of life" stuff.

I love that.

Woman on P.A.: Dr. Dobson
to room 483. Dr. Dobson.

That's where we're studying

those 2 Goa'uld death
gliders that you were in

after you guys did
your hero thing.

Nice work, by the way.

Yeah. Thanks.

This way.

Woman on P.A.:
Lieutenant O'Connell.

Lieutenant O'Connell,
please go to room 4—6—9.

This is the bio—research lab.

Is this where you're keeping
the little green men?

There are no
alien life forms at area 51.

Present company excluded,
of course.

Colonel O'Neill.

Hello, maybou rn e.

Major, if you'll excuse us.

Teal'c.

It's good to see you well.

In my culture, I would be

well within my rights

to dismember you.

Well...

That's interesting.

Is there something I can do
for you, colonel O'Neill?

Yeah. We assume the touchstone

was brought here.

Excuse me?

Maybe you have
a different name for it?

The weather controller
from madrona? Px7—941?

It seems that
someone has sentyou

on a fool's errand, colonel.

There's nothing even
remotely like that here.

You are, however,
aware of our mission.

I remember a reference to it...

But correct me if I'm wrong.

Nothing came back
from that survey.

Not by our team.

Another sgc team?

You tell me.

If you're looking
for specific answers,

I'd askthatyou be
a little less cryptic

with your questions.

Fine.

Where's the damn touchston e?

Has the second Stargate
been activated?

It's been under
complete lockdown

since its arrival here.

It hasn't even been powered up

do you mind if we have a look?

It guarantee it's been dormant

since you came through it.

Then there's no harm
in taking a look,

is there?

Maybou rn e: Well, there it is.

Happy now, colonel?

O'Neill: Carter?

Satisfied?

Not really.

Just proves it got packed up
real nice after it was used.

I assure you that gate
has been in that crate

since it was brought here
from the antarctic.

Come on, Harry.

You and I have been
through this dance before.

Uh, colonel...

This gate is plastic.

What?!

Captain Carter is correct.

That's ridiculous.

That's the gate
that was brought back

from the antarctic.

It's been under lock and key
since it got here.

This gate's plastic.

Where's the real one?

So, what the hell
happened to the Stargate?

It's obviously been moved.

So it can be fired up
without raising eyebrows?

That's highly speculative.

I don't know who's giving
you orders, maybourn e...

Butthey had better come

from where the air is realthin.

Is that a threat, colonel?

You tell me the punishment
for losing a Stargate.

That presumes
there was no authorization

to move the Stargate.

So who authorized it?

That's classified.

We have the highest clearance.

Within the military, you do.

Are you telling me...

This is a civilian operation?

Gentlemen, colonel O'Neill
and his people need

an escort back to their vehicle.

Who's pulling
the strings, maybourne?

Take a piece of advice, Jack...

Let this one drop

drop it?!

Please...

Don't make these gentlemen
have to get disrespectful.

We're operating under
a virtual blackout.

No one will confirm
or deny athing.

Well, this is too bizarre.

The only other Stargate
on the planet

gets spirited away,
and it's business as usual?

There's nothing usual
about it, captain.

Somebody's clamped down on
the communications channels.

What of the touchston e?

Carter: Well, sometime
while we were gone,

my instrument readings
dropped to zero.

So either they've
stopped using it

or they've found a way
to shield it from detection.

Well, all the weather anomalies

seem to have abated on earth.

They probably realized
experimenting with it

was causing too many problems

or attracting
unnecessary attention.

Exactly.

Now, if we can't
track the touchston e,

there may still be a way

that we can track
the second gate on earth.

Oh, sure.

Let's just put out an a.P.B.

For a huge, honkin',
2—story metal ring

with 39 little pictures
all nicely engraved on it.

Actually, I had another thought.

Go ahead, captain.

We use our gate
to go to madrona.

Then we do a quick 180
and return

through the second gate
here on earth.

Teal'c: Captain Carter,

if one were to input
the earth's coordinates

on the madrona dialing device,

he would be sent
back through the gate

on this facility.

You would,

unless you intentionally
overpower the gate.

Of course. The way
the wormhole arced

to sendthe two of you
to the other gate.

We just have to duplicate
those conditions.

As you may recall,
it was a minor miracle

that either of you
survived that incident.

What if we use the malp robot?

Perfect.

The g.Ps. Could give us
an exact position

as soon as the malp
made itthrough.

Teal'c: Someone would have
to accompany it to madrona

to input the correct address
on the dialing device.

Uh...

I would be that person.

I'll go, too.

You'll also need to bring
the necessary equipment

to modulate
the power to the gate.

Let's do it.

Th ey've arrived th rough
the madrona gate, sir.

Here we are transporting
our people across the galaxy

to find something we lost
in our own backyard.

Incredible.

They're back, uncle roham!

Did you bring the touchstone?

Not yet!

We're working on it!

Don't you understand?
Look around you!

The rivers have turned to ice!

Before long, all our crop
lands will be decimated!

Why did you return?

We have to send
this machine from here

to track the touchston e!

You're lying!

We're not lying!

Look, we really are
trying to help.

Go now!

They should be inputting
the last address now.

Status, captain.

It's through, sir.
It's on earth.

Well, where the hell is it?

Switching over
to terrestrial video signal.

We have visual, but it's dark.

Can you make out anything?

No, not much.

Looks like there's
somebody moving.

Can you ascertain its location?

I'm resetting the malp
global positioning system

to telsat 13——
Attempting to triangulate.

What the hell happened?

They blew it away, sir.

Carter?

The link is gone.
They destroyed the malp

did you get the coordinates?

Didn't have time for
a full triangulation,

but I've got it narrowed down.

How far down?

Well, as far as I can tell,
it's in southern Utah.

Oh. Well, southern Utah.

Well, at least that's a start.

I have one last marker to call.

Let me see what I can find out.

Hello, general.

Wh itlow.

Shall we walk?

As I told you on the phone,
I don't really have time

for all this
cloak and dagger stuff.

I need to know—...

Please. Walk.

Makes it harder
for the parabolics.

Glad to see
the paranoia quotient

is as high as ever.

These are dangerous
times, George.

You never know who's listening.

What do you need to know?

2 things:
Who's got the Stargate?

Who's got the weather device?

Wish I had that info.

I don't have time
for games, whitlow.

George, really,
as much as I'd love

to clear our little I.O.U.,
I don't know anything.

I don't even know what
you're talking about

with regards
to a weather device.

But are you telling me that
the Stargate is missing?

The second one is, yes.

Well, that doesn't sound
like a good thing.

Come on, whitlow.

You've gotyour fingers
in every agency.

You haven't heard anything?

Military intelligence,
n.S.A, c.I.A.?

George, if it were military,
I'd know about it.

It's gotta be civilian.

Anything strange
going on at nellis?

Well, there's always
something going on

at nellis, and most of
the time it's strange.

But nothing about a Stargate

or a weather thingie.

H ey...

Does this have something to do

with all the weird
weather lately?

How 'bout southern Utah?

Heard about anything
going on there?

Southern Utah?

Yeah, as a matter of fact.

A requisition
just crossed my desk

requesting a c—5 for
a classified pick—up

at an n.I.D. Landing site.

It's in Utah.

No idea what it's for?

Well, not officially,

but I don't have to tell you

a c—5's a big airplane.

Big enough to hold the Stargate

andtransport it
anywhere in the world.

Where's the strip?

Just south of
the black mountains.

About 40 clicks west of parowan.

Thank you, whitlow.

George?

Does this mean we're even?

If it pans out, it does.

Ok, here's the deal.

This n.I.D. Landing strip
doesn't officially exist.

Therefore, I don't think

there's a jurisdictional issue.

But even if there is,

that c—5 is air force property

and it is our jurisdiction.

Can we go now, sir?

There's a chopper
waiting up top.

It will take you
to hill air force base.

From there, you're on your own.

Thank you.

One other thing, colonel.

We don't know if
the people who took the gate

andtouchstone are friend or foe.

Therefore, under no conditions

are you to fire on them.
Understood?

Under no conditions fire?

That's right.

What if they fire on us, sir?

Then you're to take cover
and do not return fire

unless it's
the only option remaining

in order to defend yourselves.

General, I don'tthink
that's gonna fly—...

Those are my orders, colonel.

We're already going way out
on a limb on this one.

I don't want my people

mortally wounding
another American

who may just be
following orders.

Understood?

Yes, sir.

Stand to, gentlemen!

Keep those hands visible.

Who the hell are you?

No one's damn business.
Step away from the crate.

Stop!

Don't do it!

Ahh!

What?

I missed the address.

At least we have this.

Th ey've come back, uncle roham,

just as itold you!

Do they have the touchstone?

They do!

Thank you.

You're very welcome.

We hope the faith andtrust

between our 2 worlds
has been restored.

You have lived up
to your promises.

Letthere always be peace
between our worlds.

Roham: We must remain vigilant,

lest those
that trespassed before

come back to violate

the sanctity
of the holy touchstone.

Yeah. Just make sure

your guards are paying
attention this time.

Blessings be upon you.

Then, everything
should be back to normal

within a few weeks,
both here and on madrona.

At some point, we think
they'll be open

to our returning
through the gate

to do the studies
we'd hoped to do.

Any idea what happened, sir?

To be honest, it's still
something of a shell game.

The investigation was
taken out of my hands.

By whom?

I'm still trying
to find that out.

So we may never know
who those men were

who went through the gate.

Not unless you can
tell me where they went.

Hammond: Well, until then,
all sg units

are to be on watch
for 4 n.I.D. Guys

wan dering around
another planet.

Great.

So all this could
happen again, huh?

No, colonel.

This time, I was able
to ensure that our Stargate

will be the only one in use.

Sir...

The second Stargate
is being retired.

Yes. Only this time,
there will be

a permanent Iris welded over it,

and it will be placed
under round—the—clock guard

under the command of the s.G.C.

My command.

No lying and deceit,
smoke and mirrors?

You'll be there yourself—...

All of you will—...

When we put it away for good.

This put you
out of a job, maybourn e?

Oh, you'd be surprised.

Strange things happen
in high places, colonel.

Don't I know it.

People get reassigned.

So does property.

Artifacts get misplaced.
Orders change.

Every day is a new day.
