Colleagues.
Your attention, please.
I'm pleasedto report
that thanks to your hard work,
we now have enough reserve energy
to heat the greenhouses
for the n ext two months.
Special merit to the workers of section 23.
Let us use this not as an excuse to work less,
but as motivation to work harder.
Our world may be covered in ice,
but one day,
we will reclaim our place on the surface.
All: It is my honor to serve.
Hey.
Kegan, how about some bread?
Sorry. Just gave away the last piece.
Oh, here we go.
Every time.
What is your problem?
I don't have a problem.
And we don't have any bread.
Is there a problem here?
Stay out of this.
Jonah, there are other people waiting.
Give her the damn bread!
Ohh!
Woman: Somebody stop them!
This is not right.
The two of you are friends, O'Neill.
Stay out of it!
We are a part of something called sg—I.
I am Teal'c, do you not remember?
O'Neill: Somebody getthis guy off me!
Get him upstairs.
We don't belong here!
Teal'c: You must remember!
We must escape!
Brenna, it's my honor to serve.
I don't know that man.
I know, Jonah. Don't worry.
He's night—sick.
Give th era her bread.
Everyone finish. Back to work.
Kegan: These pumps regulate the overflow.
Sometimes they get clogged,
and you have to—...
Karlan.
Where has he been for five days?
Recovering from night sickness.
It's a strange thing.
There was this guy once a couple of years ago.
Tried to smash his way
through one of those skylights.
Did he do it?
You would've known if he had.
This place would've been buried
under ice and snow, and he would've frozen to death
along with everyone else.
Right.
Ohh! Ohh!
Man: I got it. Stay back.
Bren na: Cover those valves!
What happened?
One of the stabilizers ruptured.
They're so corroded,
they can't take the pressure.
Brenna: There's not much we can do.
Actually, ithinkthere is.
If we set up an automatic relief valve
on each of the stabilizers,
we could vent the excess pressure.
I've done some calculations.
If you want, I could show you.
You can come by my office later.
You all right?
Fine.
That explosion.
Oh, no, no. I'm fine, really.
Good.
Brenna wants to see me.
She wants to hear my ideas
for improving the plant.
You know, you could take a few minutes off.
Ha! Please.
You workjust as hard as I do.
That's different. It's called stamina.
Have a good shift.
Right.
There she goes.
Why does Brenna listen to her?
I don't know. She seems pretty smart.
She thinks she's better than the rest of us.
They both do.
Teal'c said we were friends.
His name's not Teal'c.
It's Tor.
Night sickness.
Sir, we're ready with the video link
to p3ri i8.
Very well.
Administrator caulder.
General Hammond.
I'm sorry to have to tell you this,
but our search has turned up nothing.
And given the hostile conditions
outside the dome,
I don't see how sg—I
could've survived this long.
With all due respect, administrator,
I'm not ready to give up on my people just yet.
We have specialized equipment
andteams specifically trained
for this kind of operation.
When major Carter first expressed an interest
in exploring the glacier,
itried to explain the danger.
But colonel O'Neill was quite...
Overly confident
that they could handle the conditions.
I appreciate your concern,
but I assure you I'll take full responsibility.
Very well.
Tell Brenna I want to see her tomorrow.
Like to know how our new workers are doing.
Go ahead.
Go where?
The other side.
Karlan.
Don't listen to him.
Major, what's your status?
We've lost the uav,
and we sit in silence right now.
Buti have to tell you, sir,
it doesn't look good!
This place is pretty nasty!
What happened?
I was injured.
When?
Why are you speaking to me?
I justthought, uh...
Since apparently we're friends
from way back,
ijust thoughtthaf...
What is thatthing on your forehead?
A birthmark.
A birthmark. You'd think
I'd remember something like that.
I don't know you.
You said you did...
Last week during morning lineup.
I wasn't here last week.
You said we were friends
and you said we had to escape,
and I'd really like an explanation.
I said no such thing.
All right. I'm obviously completely wrong about that.
Yes.
Don't talk to me again.
Yeah, right.
I told you to leave him alone.
He was there, kegan. You heard him.
Why would he deny that?
Night sickness affects your mind.
That doesn't explain the dreams I've had.
Something is wrong here, kegan. Something's not—...
Karlan...
It's bad enough he named you
as part of his delusion.
Now, if people hear you talking like this,
they're gonna think you're night—sick.
People?
Not that I would ever—...
Karlan.
No, no, no. Of course not.
It's just a dream.
Why didn't the memory stamp work on Teal'c?
I'm sure it was the creature
his species carries within them.
We've stamped him again.
This time it seems to be holding.
And what about the others?
They're all proving to be excellent workers.
In fact, thera has some very interesting ideas
for improving the plant.
Thera?
The personality
we stamped major Carter with.
We've been having some problems with pressure overload.
She suggested an automated relief valve
which would relieve the excess pressure.
If we didn't have to regulate the pressure manually,
it would free up workers for other tasks.
Maybe one day she could increase productivity
to the point
where we don't even need workers.
What would be so wrong with that?
Nothing.
I'm sure they'd fit right in.
Of course, they don't even know the city exists.
We could tell them.
Thatthey've been lied to all their lives?
And how would the people of the city react
when there was less to go around,
when they had to make room for...
Workers?
Right now in our city, Brenna,
we have no crime, no unemployment.
But—...
They're happy wh ere th ey are.
That's what the stamp assures.
Do only what is necessary
to guarantee uninterrupted power.
Yes, administrator.
Did you get a chance to look over my plans yet?
I'd like to get started right away—...
We can't do the improvements.
But you said before—...
No. They would require the generators
to be off—line for too long.
If any of the critical systems began to freeze,
we might not be able to get them started again.
I agree there's some risk—...
Too much risk.
Okay, what about my other ideas?
I'm sorry.
This plant is all that stands
between us and the ice.
Uninterrupted production is more important
than efficiency.
You may return to work.
Brenna, I know you were excited about this.
What's happened?
Well, I've thought it over.
At least let me come up with a safer way—...
Thera.
Please leave.
It's my honor to serve.
It's not like I'm making this up
off the top of my head.
I got a detailed plan
including safeguards.
I'm sure she knows that.
But I could make a difference here.
She won't even let me.
You should go back to her in a couple of days.
Offer up something small.
Maybe you got to work in to the big stuff.
How do you stay so calm?
I think, in another life,
I've handled dangerous explosives.
I don't know.
What do you mean, "in another life?"
I don't mean anything by it.
It's just an expression, isn't it?
Major?
I'm sorry, sir. There's no sign of them.
I understand.
You and your team have been out there a long time.
No, sir.
When I say there's no sign,
I mean literally not a trace.
What are you saying, major?
I can't imagine what scientific reason
major Carter or Dr. Jackson
might have had to want to check out
those ice fields.
But even if they wanted to go outthere,
there's no way in hell
colonel O'Neill would've let them.
According to administrator caulder,
colonel O'Neill believed the risk was acceptable.
I can't speak to that, sir.
I'm not a diplomat.
Off the record.
They're not out there, sir.
No way.
Administrator caulder says they are.
Then I'd say he's a damn liar.
Kegan, I need to ask you something.
How did I get here?
What do you mean, "how'd you get here?"
You were transferred from the mines.
No, before that.
Before?
Yes.
You don't remember?
I keep thinking about it,
and all I come up with is a handful of memories.
What is this about, anyway?
I'm just wondering if Jonah andthera
were ever my friends.
Friends.
Maybe I don't recognize them because it was years—...
Listen to me.
They are justtrying to get close to Brenna
so that they can get special treatment,
especially thera.
Look, all I'm saying—...
And all I am saying—...
That if you were friends with those two...
You're not mine.
Pressure's too high!
Pipes are hot.
We're too late.
This whole section's gonna blow!
Help me get him out of here!
What's going on?
We've got a pressure overload.
We've got to fix it.
It's too late. We have to evacuate.
What's happening?
If that boiler blows, it'll take this whole section with it.
Now, I can shut off the main boiler from here,
but somebody's gonna have to get back there
and open the primary release valve.
Karlan!
Get these people out of here!
Get out of here!
Clear this section!
Here!
Aah!
H ey!
I must return to my duties.
I want you to rest.
You'll stay here until I say
you're well enough to work.
As for you three,
we all owe you a debt of gratitude.
You risked your lives to save the plant.
All: It is my honor to serve.
Right.
If it hadn't been for your quick action,
many lives might have been lost.
Next time will be different.
Well, hopefully, there won't be a nexttime.
Well, if you had listened to me in the first place—...
Thera.
You're dismissed.
O'Neill: Hey, nexttime, don't hold back.
Just, you know, speakyour mind.
She knows I'm right.
There's something else going on.
Big, night—sick guy with the, uh...
Tor.
He said we were a part of something called sg—I.
Yeah. What is that?
A team?
What kind of a name is that for ateam?
Jackson: I don't know.
Look, I justthink I'm supposed to be doing
something more important.
We're helping our people survive an ice age.
Yeah. What's more important than that?
I don't know.
Look, I just have this feeling
that all of us
are a part of some...
Bigger, grander thing.
Well, I certainly understand
what you're talking about.
You do? No.
Look.
I don't know how to explain this,
buti had this dream.
You were in it.
Me?
There was this big, glowing puddle.
Okay, stop talking right now.
Wait a second, Jonah.
I had the same dream.
Will you two stop talking like that,
for crying out loud?
It's an expression, right?
Look. We can't talk right now.
Let's meet after lights out.
So?
Did you have the same dream?
About you?
No, aboutthe shimmering circle
of water.
No.
My dreams are about...
Other things.
Tor said we had to escape.
He also said we had to remember.
Remember what?
Well, I remember when iwas foreman
anyone caught doing what we're doing right now
had their rations cut in half for a month.
But we'll have to risk it.
What if our memories have been somehow altered?
Well, if that's true,
then we can't be sure of anything.
My memory's fine.
Really?
Yeah.
What did you do in the mines?
Imined.
No. What did you do?
I remember shoveling ore into a cart.
And?
I did that a lot.
I remember a feeling
of cold and darkness.
Andthat's where the two of you met?
Yeah.
Really?
Sure.
So what's this important thing
we're supposed to be doing?
I told you. I don't know.
I keep trying to remember,
but all I come up with are images of this place.
But if you're right,
then everything we remember
about this place is a lie.
It's like a fac2ade.
It only works if we don't dig too deep
beneath the surface, if we don't question it.
So that's what we have to do.
We have to question everything,
every assumption, everything.
We have to keep this to ourselves.
If the others heard us talking this way,
they'd think we were night—sick.
What if we are night—sick?
I don't think so, sir.
What?
You just called Jonah "sir."
Well, it's an expression.
Isn't it?
Sir?
I have those medical reports
you were waiting for.
Major griff did suffer some minor frostbite,
but the rest of his team is fine.
Than k you, doctor.
Any word from the planet?
I spoke to administrator caulder about an hour ago.
He regretfully informed me
that his search of the city
turned up nothing.
So that's it?
Short of going to war, all we can really do
is break off diplomatic relations.
I'm not authorized to do that just yet.
I take it th ey have something we want.
They're quite advanced
in metallurgical
and chemical technologies.
Well, we must have something they want
or they wouldn't have proposed trade.
Stargate tech nology,
gate addresses.
Well, I understand that.
They're surrounded by ice.
As far as I'm concerned,
they need us a hell of a lot more
than we need them.
Apparently, administrator caulder
doesn't seem to think so.
Frankly, ithink he likesthings
just the way they are.
Doesn't leave you with many options,
does it, sir?
No, it doesn't,
which is why I've ordered major griff
to draw up a covert search—and—rescue plan.
Well, if you're looking for volunteers, sir...
Than k you, doctor.
I'll keep that in mind.
Any more dreams?
I saw the pool of light again...
Exceptthis time we were all there...
Including Tor.
I dreamed about mining...
Naked.
Thera?
Um...
A lot of numbers and letters
keep popping into my mind—...
Sg—I,
dhd, gdo.
Sounds like gibberish to me.
Well, it must mean something.
Excuse me.
Jonah?
That means something.
What is it?
I don't know yet.
Very impressive.
Well, I see you made some new friends.
Yeah.
Karlan.
I'm sorry, kegan.
Man: I don't understand. His con dition's getting worse.
Come, let me check his wound.
Under no circumstances
are you to remove those bandages.
Just make sure he continues
to eat and drink.
I remember something.
There's a man.
He's bald and wears a short—sleeved shirt,
and somehow, he's very important to me.
I think his name is homer.
Doesn't ring a bell.
You?
Just a lot of vague images.
You know, there are things about this place that I like.
Really?
Would it mean anything
if itold you I remember something else?
What?
Feelings.
I remember feeling feelings.
For me?
No, for Tor.
I don't remember much,
but I do remember that.
So?
So...
I'm just saying.
Well, then, I feel better.
Brenna: For some reason, Tor seems to be
having an adverse reaction
to the memory stamp
ithink he may be dying.
Workers die.
What about his friends?
I've received a report.
They've been gathering together in secret.
Administrator, ithink they're starting to remember.
Their brain chemistry is slightly different than ours.
That could be the reason.
But we can restamp them.
No.
No. I think it's time they found out
what it was like outside.
All they really did
was disapprove of our treatment of the workers.
No, no.
No, they did much more than disapprove.
They passed judgment on us, Brenna.
I'm simply doing the same.
Yes, sir.
Bren na.
If for some reason, you can't comply
with my orders—...
It's an honor to serve, administrator.
Yes, it is.
Very impressive.
Too bad it's a lie.
I don't understand.
While we were on the grand tour,
Carter spotted some ventilation shafts
coming out of apparently nowhere.
We checked it out.
You were supposed to stay with your escort.
Yeah.
I can see how you wouldn't want outsiders
to know about the slave labor force
you keep underground.
They're merely workers.
And what made them so worthy of that?
Colon el—...
Administrator.
I will not recommend trade
with a culture that enslaves
its own people.
I don't care what kind of technology
you have to offer.
This system of government
has allowed our culture to survive an ice age.
Tell me.
What's the secret?
Sta rvation?
Torture? What?
Our methods are actually quite...
Civilized.
Really?
Yes.
In fact...
I'll show you.
Thera.
Ithinki know what's going on.
Jonah, thera.
Report to Brenna's quarters.
What is it?
What are you doing?
We've got orders to take him up to Brenna's room.
Put him down over there.
You're dismissed.
What's the matter with him?
He's dying.
Kel'no'reem.
What?
I'm not sure what it means, but I think—...
It's a kind of meditation.
He has to do it every day
or he gets sick.
Right?
So why doesn't he do it?
Because he can't remember.
Colonel O'Neill is correct.
As you've begun to suspect,
all of you have had your memories altered.
You are major Samantha Carter.
Dr. Daniel Jackson.
And your friend here is named Teal'c.
Where does homer fit in?
You were all they sent down.
At first, I...
I thought it was necessary to protect the city, but,
now things have gone too far.
You don't belong here.
You need to return to your own world.
Your memories will come back more quickly
once you get home.
Home?
Yes. Through there.
Administrator caulder.
Bren na.
I must say I'm disappointed,
but not surprised.
See, I've been watching you
grow weaker for some time now.
I've been coming to my senses.
Either way.
You're no longer of any use to me.
Aah!
As for the rest of you,
it's time you found out
whatthe surface of this planet
is really like.
Uhh!
Teal'c... you all right?
I am. What happened?
When I removed my bandages and realized
iwas unlike the rest of you,
I began to remember.
I placed myself
in a deep state of kel'no'reem
for the night,
and my symbiote restored me to health.
Brenna should be all right
if we can get her to the, uh...
Infirmary.
Right.
You'll never make it back to the Stargate.
You know something?
We've got you as a hostage.
I don't see a problem.
Jonah. Jack.
Right. We can't.
We have to tell these people what's happening here.
Yup you're right.
O'Neill: Everybody!
Can I have your attention please?
I'd like to introduce you to someone.
This man has been keeping you
locked up down here
while he and his friends live it up on the surface.
What are you talking about?
Don't listen to them!
They shot Brenna!
It's true!
Listen to me!
There is a big dome city up there
full of people you serve!
They've been hiding it from you your entire lives!
Kegan: It's a lie!
He's telling the truth, kegan.
You can't let them get away!
Who are you?
That's a good question.
My name is caulder.
I was a supervisor in the mines
before I was transferred.
Yeah, whatever.
You want proof?
No!
Crowd: Ohh! Ohh!
No ice.
No snow.
You've accomplished nothing.
These people will never be accepted in the city.
I thinkyou're right about that.
That's why we're gonna offer them
a better place.
There's this nice, little tropical planet
out there
where the beaches go on forever.
This I remember clearly.
You and your people can do your own shoveling
for a while.
You're destroying a way of life.
That's a shame.
Teal'c...
Wantto show these people how to get out of here?
Ahh, it hurts.
I know. Try not to move it.
We're gonna take you home with us.
Thank you.
So, colonel.
Major.
That bald man you were trying to remember.
General Hammond.
Right.
He's from Texas, you know.
It's all coming back.
Yes, sir.
Sir.
Let's go home.
Yes, sir.
