General, what's this all about?

At 0920 hours this morning,

someone tried to
enter the base using this.

Colonel O'Neill's security ID.

After the person in question
was taken into custody,

he insisted on seeing you.

Me? Why?

Well, iwas hoping you could
figure that one out, major.

Open it.

Thank you.
Now we're getting somewhere.

Sergeant...

That coffee I asked for
half an hour ago?

You know, anytime
you feel like getting it.

He's a boy... sir.

As it turns out, Carter,
yes, I am...

For the moment.

Do I know you?

Come on. It's me.

We tried to
contact colonel O'Neill.

Even sent someone to his house.

Do you understand how much
trouble you're in right now?

Impersonating a military
officer is a federal offense.

I am not impersonating anyone.

I am Jack O'Neill.

Finally.

Hot chocolate?

Are you kidding?

Where did you getthis?

I didn't...
I didn't get it anywhere.

It's mine.

Because you're colonel O'Neill.

Exactly.

Look, last night I ate
some dinner, had a beer,

wentto bed,
and woke up like this.

Now, can we please
just get to the part

where you and fraiser
run some tests, find a cure,

make me big again?

This is the security breach?

Daniel...

Will you tell them
who I am, please?

Okay. Love to. Who are you?

This young man
claims he's colonel O'Neill.

It's a joke, right?

What's going on? Daniel!

Sounds like him... at least,
the loud, grating parts.

Okay, you want proof?

Carter, you once carried
atok'ra named jolinar

who gave her life to save you.

Daniel, until recently,
you were an ascended being.

You broke the rules,
you got yourself kicked out

of the oma desala fan club,

and had your memory erased,

and you and bra'tac

both just lost your snakes

in a Goa'uld ambush.

Had your tretonin
yetthis morning?

How could this child
possess such knowledge?

Because... it's... me.

Would anyone care to
speculate how a boy

could be aware of some of
our most classified information?

Well, sir, it could be him.

There is a physical resemblance.

But he can't be
more than 15 years old.

Are you saying colonel O'Neill
has somehow regressed

more than 30 years overnight?

Stranger things have happened.

Name but one.

Well, there was the time
he got really old,

the time he became a caveman,

the time we all
swapped bodies...

Why don't we move on to the
testing portion of this exercise?

Are you certain, doctor?

Initial tests show that within
an acceptable margin of error,

the boy's DNA
is vi rtually identical

to colonel O'Neill's.

What size margin of error
are we talking about?

Very small.

In a court of law, the DNA
sample we took from the boy

would be considered
a high—probability match

to the DNA we have on file
from colonel O'Neill.

There is a tiny abnormality,

but for all intents
and purposes, it's him.

Tiny abnormality?

The factthat he's suddenly quite a few
years younger than he's supposed to be?

To be honest,
this is out of my league.

We've got some
specialists flying in.

We're going to run more tests.
See what we can learn.

In the meantime, I suggest we try to
make him as comfortable as possible.

I'll go set up a PlayStation.

You know,

ithinkyou two are enjoying this

just a little too much.

You are kind of cute.

That's "sir" to you,

and being trapped inside
a scrawny little body

isn't my idea of cute, Carter.

Does possessing ayounger body
not have certain advantages, O'Neill?

No. Not seeing it.
What do you mean?

Do you not experience
increased health and vitality?

My vitality was just fine,
thank you.

I think what Teal'c is saying
is valid.

How many of us wouldn't
trade everything

for the chance
to be young again...

Live our lives over?

Yeah, well, I don't plan
on staying like this.

Well, in the meantime,
may I make a suggestion?

Try enjoying this
as much as we are...

Sir.

Well, it's nice to know
some things don't change.

I wasn't exactly
expecting visitors.

We'll have this stuff sent
back to the lab for analysis.

Well, if they find msg, iwill
never order from them again.

Come on, what are we
doing here, exactly?

Well, this is the last place
you remember being...

Older?

Are you conducting some sort
of scientific experiment, O'Neill?

Hey, come on.
That salsa is still good.

What was the last thing
you ate, sir?

A four—cheese burrito,
some guacamole on the side.

Anything else?

A beer, then I hitthe sack.

So whatever happened to you

must have occurred
once you were asleep.

H ey!

Doyou mind?

Teal'c.

Whoa.

O'Neill.

What is it?

Either I'm remembering
a particularly bad dream,

or the asgard paid me
a little visit last night.

No offense, but whatyou're
saying doesn't make any sense.

Jack's account sounds like some
ufo abduction case files I've read.

This, you remember.
My birth day, you forget.

Looks like you'll
have a lot more.

This encounter is incongruous

with all previous contact
we have had with the asgard.

Butthor has indicated that the
asgard had been keeping an eye

on human development
on earth in the past.

But we're allies now.

We've co—operated with them
on a number of missions.

This, iwould not have agreed to.

What could they
possibly hope to gain

from secretly making you
younger against your will?

I got nothing.

General, I'd like
to cross reference

some of these old
abduction accounts,

see if I can find
any connection.

Please do.

Major, I believe you had a
briefing to run at 1300 hours.

Yes, sir. I'll be there.

Wait. Wait. The f—302 briefing?

I thought iwas running that.

Given your current situation, I feel it
would be best if major Carter handled it.

I'm sure you can impart any information
she needs to knowto fill the gap

but I'm the one—...

Good. Dismissed.

Come in.

Jack, try to understand.

Your situation puts me
in Avery difficult position.

General, no offense,

butyou're notthe one
who went to bed watching CNN

and woke up as part
of the mtv generation.

Which is exactly why major
Carter's going to handle that briefing.

Sir, I've flown the 302
more times than anyone else.

Be that as it may,

the bottom line is

a room full of seasoned pilots aren't
going to respect the opinion of a boy.

Sir, I just look like one,
for the moment,

butthose men in that room
need my expertise,

and plus, you know, if they're
going to be working here,

they're going to have to start
getting used to, you know...

Unusual things happening.

Look, Jack. No one is disputing
that you may continue to be

a valuable asset to the sgc,

but under the circumstances,
there's nothing I can do.

I'm sorry.

Yes, sir. I understand.

Dumb idea.

It would appear that
a great many of the tauri

have encountered beings
from other worlds.

Yeah, little do they know

how close they are to the truth.

What exactly are we
looking for, Daniel Jackson?

Well, any abduction accounts
that match Jack's story.

And obviously, anyone claiming

to have physically regressed
several decades overnight.

We just need to enter our search
parameters into the database.

It has already been done.

Wow. That's a lot of people.

Indeed.

Let's see if any of these
match Jack's story exactly,

what he said he saw.
Four green lights.

That's a little more reasonable.

That's interesting.

Of the narrowed down accounts,
the most recent is from—...

19 years ago.

Eight are here in the states.

If these addresses
are still valid,

we should talk to
these people in person.

What do you hope to learn?

I guess we'll know
when we learn it.

As your intel packages show,

the f—302 is a space—worthy
fighter—interceptor aircraft

reverse—engineered
from Goa'uld technology.

Your upcoming mission has been
dubbed operation blue Phoenix.

It will be a live—fire
combat simulation

to test how well the 302 fares

against actual death gliders.

Captain.

Major, according to
our mission reports,

you were second seat on the
most recent mission involving the 302.

Yes, and that one
included close combat.

We'll be covering what was learned
in that encounter in this briefing.

Didn't colonel O'Neill
pilotthat mission?

Yes, as a matter
of fact, he did.

The colonel also
commanded the x—302

during both previous hyperspace
window missions, didn't he, major?

What's your point, major?

With all due respect, ma'am, shouldn't
colonel O'Neill be running this briefing?

Colonel O'Neill is unavailable.

However, I've prepared
several computer models

which should help you understand
how the 302 handles in combat situations.

Major, no offense, butthose
aren't going to help me

when I'm pulling six gs in a
dogfight against an alien ship

as you should know, captain,

the 302 has
inertial dampening systems,

which I am more than qualified
to explain in detail,

so let's just—...

I just dropped by to say... ow!

Sir, please, do not resist.

Hey, ease up, big guy.

Stay focused.

I'm warning you.

Stay there.

Didn't I
just say iwas warning you?

All right! That's it!
Now I'm mad.

You can release him.

I'll forgo the charges for
assaulting a superior officer.

Carter...

I could have taken him.

I'm sure.

Sorry I'm late. What did I miss?

We were just covering
the 302's flight capabilities.

Well, then, I'm just in time.
Here's what you need to know.

Major, is this a joke?

No. This is colonel O'Neill.

I'm only going to say this once,

so I'd suggest that you listen up

- whatever you say.
- Hey!

I realize it doesn't actually
say "colonel"

anywhere on my uniform,

but it should.

Yes, sir.

Now...

Velocity is key during
engagement with a glider.

Now, your instincts are
going to tell you to floor it,

because it's faster
and more maneuverable,

but you've got to
stay in control.

Uh... oh. Yeah, and the
inertial dampeners

only compensate 90%
when pulling negative gs,

so the real trick
is knowing your enemy

so you can anticipate
their next moves.

Okay...

Death gliders 101.

May I ask whythe united
states air force

is taking a renewed interest
in my story

after 26 years?

Well, all I can tell you is that
we have some new information.

Will it prove my story is true?

Eventually.

Maybe.

Please, tell us
what happened to you.

I was asleep in my bed,

and a light appeared in
my room and took me.

Took you where?

Some kind of
spacecraft, I suppose.

I was weightless,
floating in mid—air,

and yet...

It was dark, cold.

I couldn't move a muscle,
even though I was wide awake.

After the light
hit you, then what?

The devices came.

They were
these green, glowing balls

that floated around me.

He said that after the small
green spheres stopped scanning him,

they left him alone
for a long while.

And then a voice spoke to him,

telling him notto be afraid,

and that he would
soon be safe again.

Could you ask professor wu if he
actually saw who was speaking to him?

All the accounts were
basically identical.

They all match Jack's version
of events exactly.

Except none of them experienced
any kind of physical changes

as a result of the abduction.

No, they didn't, but
everything else is bang on.

Taken while sleeping,
floating, paralysis,

out of body experience...

Now, admittedly, all of
this does sound familiar,

cliche even,
if you watch enough TV, but...

They all described
four green globes

that seemed to defy gravity

buzzing around them
like insects.

Now, that's too specific
a detail to be a coincidence.

The being that abducted them...

I assume they described
an asgard as well?

Short, big eyes,
no hair, weird voice.

The asgard haven't responded
to our attempted communications

well...

If help is coming,
it better arrive soon.

It's open.

How are you doing?

Well, ithink
I'm getting another zit,

and...

Oh, yeah, I'm still a kid.

But beyondthat, I'm doing
just peachy, thanks. Why?

Well, Janet's just finished
going over

the genetic team's analysis
of your test results.

How bad can it be?

You're probably
not feeling the effects yet,

but something is happening
to your body

at the cellular level.

Basically,
your genetic structure

is growing more unstable.

Colonel...

You're dying.

Honestly, I feel fine.

You'll start to notice symptoms
as the condition worsens.

How long do I have?

It's hard to say.

Say it anyway.

Weeks? Days? I don't know.

You'll notice fatigue first.

In the end, your body's vital
organs will completely shut down.

It's like something inside you

is causing
a total system failure.

I don't get it.

We help save their skinny
asses from the replicators,

and as athanks, they
shrink me and leave me to die.

We're exploring every option
we have, colonel.

We just need you
to hang in there.

Thanks for coming. I'm sure it
will help coming directly from you.

How are Mark and the kids?

Good. Great. The kids are great.

I'll tell them you said hi.

I'm sorry.

Sam told me what was
going on, but...

What could anyone possibly
hope to gain from this?

Can we just get on with it?

I'm not getting any younger.

Well, as itold Sam,

our options are pretty limited.

You come all this way
justto say goodbye?

Atthis point, I'm here to
recommend we put you in stasis

until we better
understand your condition.

You want to freeze me.

Colonel, we're not talking about
cryogenics as we know it here on earth.

The risk involved is minimal.

Yeah, well, I've been down this
road with the tok'ra before.

No offense, Jacob,

but the lasttime you guys
helped me out of a jam,

I ended up rescuing
an old girlfriend

I'd never met before.

We would never subject you
to another blending

without your express permission.

Good,

because it's never
going to happen.

No pressure, Jack,

butyou need to make a decision.

We have a team standing by,

but if you wait too long,

we may not be able to reverse
the cellular breakdown.

Colonel, please.

It's your choice, Jack.

Can I have five minutes
to think about it?

You can have 10, colonel.

Do you think he'll do it?

If I have to drag
the little tyke

kicking and screaming
through the gate myself.

I didn't come all the way
to watch him die like this.

We've a security breach.
Level 25, guest quarters.

Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.

Security teams
have swept the base

three times
in the past six hours,

inside and out.

They found nothing.

I think it's safe to assume
he's no longer here.

Colonel O'Neill knows
the sgc as well as anyone.

If he wanted a way out,
I'm sure he'd find one.

Well, I've notified state
and local authorities.

With any luck,
they'll find him soon.

Sir, there's something
you all need to see.

Go on home, kid,
before I call the cops.

It's a school night,
for crying out loud.

Okay, how about lite beer?

Give me a break.

Harley?

Excuse me?

Yeah, Harlan Beck.

You served in operation proven
force out of incirlik, right?

Yeah, during the Gulf.
How'd you know that, kid?

What are you, kidding?

I ran...

I mean...

My uncle knew a lieutenant
Beck from the war.

Yeah, said he was
a Stan d—up guy.

Flew an ac—130 gunship
over Baghdad.

Well, then your uncle
had to be in the special ops.

Yeah, he was.

Colonel Jack O'Neill?

You're Jack O'Neill's nephew?

I didn't know he had a sibling.

Well... used to.

Yeah, uncle Jack's
been like a father to me...

You know, since my folks died.

So how's old Jack doing, anyway?

Uh, he's fine,

and he's notthat old, either.

Well, tell him...

Tell him Harley said
to watch his six.

Hey, yeah, uh...

Speaking of six.

Look... seeing as how you know
my uncle and all,

you think you could do
me a little favor?

Selmak has had
a chance to digest

some of the DNA test results
we've been collecting,

and it seems colonel O'Neill's
condition isn't what we first thought.

He isn't dying?

He is dying, but we
think we know the cause.

When we first compared
his DNA samples

to the ones we had on file,
the match was almost perfect.

Almost. You said
there was a tiny abnormality.

That's right.
Selmak thinks he knows why.

This is not colonel O'Neill.

But...

He's a clone.

I see. Keep me informed.

No word yet on...

What exactly do we
call him at this point?

Duplicate O'Neill?

Sir, we think we have
a clearer idea

of what might be going on.

Please, enlighten me.

We know the asgard
clone themselves.

Their very existence
depends on their ability

to clone their bodies andthen
transfer their consciousness

from one to the next.

Butthey suffer from
grave medical conditions

due to thousands of years
of cloning.

Which will ultimately lead
to the fall of their civilization

if they can't solve the
problem of diminishing returns

in their cloning technology.

What does this have to
do with colonel O'Neill?

We had the abductees' DNA
that Teal'c and I interviewed

scanned for the same
abnormalities as...

Duplicate O'Neill.

As far as we can tell,
none of them are clones.

Which means?

Well, in all likelihood,

the asgard responsible
tookthe original people

and replaced them
with duplicates

so as not to arouse suspicion.

They studied the originals,
then switched them back.

You thinkwhoever took the real
colonel O'Neill is going to return him?

It's all we've got, sir.

We're hoping the fact

that colonel O'Neill's clone
didn't fully mature is a mistake.

What makes you think that?

The previous actions
of the asgard responsible

indicate his desire
to remain covert.

Jack's clone's condition
is a dead giveaway.

So it's a good bet the asgard
doesn't even know there's a problem,

or else he would have
tried to fix it.

Well, they'll figure it out
when they try to switch him back.

If th ey try to switch.

Are you saying if we don't
track down the young duplicate

we may not get
the real colonel O'Neill back?

Well, no. We're sure the asgard
would be able to find him if he wants.

That's not the real issue.

We wish to apprehend
the asgard responsible.

Intercepting the next
switch may be our only shot.

Hammond.

General Hammond, sir.

I have a lieutenant—colonel Beck

from the 10th air base wing
at the air force academy

on the line for you.

He says it has to do
with colonel O'Neill.

Patch him th rough.

Yes, sir.

Unless you brought beer,
that's close enough.

Colonel, we need you
to come back with us.

How did you find me?

A lieutenant—colonel Beck called
general Hammond and placed you in the area.

A man from whom you
recently bought bait

said he recommended this river.

Tell Jacob thanks for trying,

but I'm not interested
in the deep—freeze deal.

Look, we're not here
to take you to the tok' ra.

There may not be much time.

Never is, is there?

Okay, well...

There's no easy way
to tell you this,

so Sam's just going to
come right out and say it.

Well, sir...

As you know, the asgard
depend on a cloning technology—...

Oh, for crying out loud.

You have been cloned, O'Neill.

What?

We think the asgard took
the real you and made a copy,

and an unstable one, at that.

The real me?

Yeah. The original.

That's not your real anything.

I'm... I'm sorry.

Where's the original?

Well, that's what
we hope to find out,

but we need your help

We've calculated approximately

a seven—day gap
between abductions,

which puts us at tonight.

This plan sucks.

Look, I know
you don'tthink I am who I am,

but as far as I'm concerned,
I am...

Who I am.

The switch is the
only chance we have

of capturing
whoever's behind this.

What about the fact
thatthis body is dying?

I mean, has anyone

even thought aboutthat
for a second?

Oh... I see.

You don't care as long as
you get the original back.

We just... we don't know
what else to do for you.

Perhaps the asgard responsible
can correct his mistake.

Fine, give me a 9—mil.
I'll get it out of the sucker.

We don't know who or what
we might be facing yet.

Exactly why
you can't just use me as bait

and hang me outto dry?

You're never going to intercept
one of those asgard beams.

The only chance you
have of capturing this guy

is me.

Come on.

A zat gun.

Thank you, sir.

Carter, you still
got your ears on?

Yes, sir.

Daniel, Teal'c?

Everything appears to be
normal, O'Neill.

Yeah? Not to me.

You want to go over the
instructions I gave you again?

Don't worry, Carter.
I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Colonel, you all right?

Jack!

Jack!

O'Neill.

What are you all
doing in my bedroom?

Hello.

Do not be afraid.

I assume this is important?

Just a little, sir.

Okay...

Wrong console.

Far right Jewel thingy... up

uh, and 3:00.

Yeah, I was having
the weirdest dream—...

You see, Carter?

Told you it was no problem.

What's going on?

Wow.

You know, I'm really
much taller than ithink.

Carter?

Colonel O'Neill, meet...

Colonel O'Neill.

What's going on?

We're pretty sure
this asgard over here

kidnapped you and attempted
to replace you with a clone.

How long was I asleep?

Seven days.

It's a record.

So you're...

Me. You.

Yeah.

Believe me, if you
think it's weird,

imagine how I feel
being the copy.

He is awakened.

What's happening?

We were hoping
you could tell us.

No. No. No. This is all wrong.

H ey!

I'll tell you what's wrong.

I just woke up,
haven't had coffee,

let alone a pee in seven days,

and I find outyou stole
my ass and made a...

Mini—me.

Carter, I should be irked
currently, yes?

Yes, iwould be.

Why don't you tell us
who you are?

Loki.

According to norse mythology,
that's the god of mischief.

What did you want
with colonel O'Neill?

I have nothing more to say
to any of you.

H ey!

We just saved your flat little
white asses from the replicators.

This is the thanks we get?

Hey, at least
you're going to live.

What?

Maybe you're a little put out,

butthis guy didn't hit all the
right buttons on the xerox.

This body is going to fall
apart if he doesn't fix me.

I cannot. All the clones
suffer the same fate.

Okay, I'm going back
to my original question.

What's going on?

I am a scientist,

a former geneticist with
the asgard ruling council.

Former?

I was stripped of my stature

after I was caught performing

unsanctioned experiments
on humans.

What, you've got sanction ed
ones?

I merely had the courage
to do what was necessary

to advance
our cloning technology.

Instead of "cou rag e,"

some might call it
a lack of morality.

Our population cannot withstand the
duplication process for much longer.

How can experimenting
on humans change that?

Your bodies are similar to our
original form thousands of years ago.

Using your physical
makeup as atemplate,

I had hoped to find away
to construct a clone

that could contain our
massively superior intellect.

My research was unsuccessful.

So much for
massively superior intellect.

I was going to say that.

I was going to say

it was unsuccessful

prior to my
being caught and banished.

I would have found
whati needed eventually.

Why risk coming back here and
breaking the law after 19 years?

Because ithought he was the one.

Me? Me?

I believed his genetic code
contained the key.

Mine? Mine?

Stop it.

He was physiologically
advanced enough

to carry and utilize
all the data

from the ancients' repository
of knowledge.

That would not be possible

for any human
one generation ago.

He is a significant step forward
on your evolutionary path.

You just found this out
recently?

I learned about it
when all the asgard did.

O'Neill is legendary.

Most recently, the asgard
fleet has been distracted

by the war with the replicators,

and the subsequent
relocation of our people.

So you took the opportunity when
no one was looking to sneak back here.

I do not regret my actions.

I am trying to save my people.

Look, I know
this isn't all about me,

but come on, seriously,
I'm dying here.

I cannot reverse your fate,

nor can I explain

why you did not mature
to the proper age

as you should have.

Well, easy to see why they
kicked you out of the science club.

All right, I've heard enough.

Carter...

Can you call Thor on this thing?

Please, do not.

We've already tried contacting
the asgard a number of times.

You know, you'd think
if Thor knew about this...

Okay, pretty sure that's it.

All right, how long are we go—...

You all right?

Actually, no.

What do we do
if Thor doesn't show up?

Never mind.

Well, it's about time.

I apologize
for not coming sooner.

Loki, what have you done?

Yeah, it seems he's been playing
Dr. Moreau behind your back.

Yes, Dr. Moreau.

You know why I am here.

You should have known O'Neill's
genetic coding was safeguarded

for his own protection.

Excuse me?

A marker was placed in your DNA

to prevent any attempts
at genetic manipulation.

The abnormality.

That's why the clone
didn't mature.

Yes. Loki will be punished
for his actions.

Is ittrue that colonel O'Neill

is the keyto solving
your cloning problems?

No.

But I thought I was advanced.

Indeed you are, O'Neill.

But our scientists
have already determined

that while you are
an important step forward

in the evolutionary chain,

the missing link
we have been searching for

still eludes us.

I'm sorry.

Again, I apologize

for any inconvenience
loki may have caused.

Yeah, that's what I'd call it.

Unfortunately,

the eventual genetic
breakdown of the clone

is not my doing,

but rather a result
of loki's inept methods.

There was no need
for the clones to survive.

Look, Thor,

is there anything
you can do for him?

The whining's starting to grate.

You wish your clone to live?

You can't just let me die.

He's just a kid.

Are you certain, O'Neill?

I'm thinking.

Yeah.

Very well.

I will attempt to repair his DNA.

If successful,

he should continue to mature
at a normal human rate.

Thanks.

You sure about this?

I've thought a lot about it.

You know, you... m e...

I mean, we never really did
embrace high school.

I don't know. Haven't you ever just
wanted to go back and do it all over,

I mean, especially
with all you know now?

No.

Well, from here on in,
you and me are different,

which is why I'm
going to do this.

Hey, listen,

do me a favor, huh?

Don't worry, I wasn't
going to keep in touch.

Yeah, it'd just be a little—...

Weird.

Weird, yeah.

Yeah.

But look, if you need
anything, just, you know...

The air force has set me up.

I'll be fine.

You're sure about this?

I mean, it's high school.

Yes...

Go forth, young man.
