Teal'c: Previously on Stargate sg—1
I am tanith.
It is my honor
to pledge my allegiance to the tok'ra.
If we allow tanith to believe he has deceived us,
we'll be able to use that against the Goa'uld.
Disinformation?
Yes.
I hope one day we will meet again, Teal'c.
You have my promise.
Aaaaaah!
Woman: What did it show you?
The murder of my father.
So, what now?
Apophis will easily absorb heru'ur's forces
into his own.
He is now a bigger threat than ever before.
Cronus came in his ship
and declared that our planet now fell under his domain.
He commanded that we worship him!
What do we do with the other Jaffa
once we've dealt with cronus and taken over the ship?
Uhh!
(Zap)
Go tell your people cronus is dead.
What is happening?
Defense systems picked up
a mothership entering orbit.
We must evacuate immediately.
We have been expecting it.
Hey, kids!
We're not parked in a red zone, are we?
Teal'c: Tanith was surprised to see us.
Mm—hmm. we didn't want to give him any warning.
He doesn't suspect you're onto him?
Notthat we know of. We'll see soon enough.
Of what do you speak?
Well, thanks to the mothership,
you're so graciously lending us—...
Not me. Hammond.
It was an order, remember?
Well, anyway, we'll able to move the Stargate
to a new planet not currently on the Goa'uld map.
We'll finally be able to ensure
the security of a more permanenttok'ra base.
As useful as tanith has been
in relaying false information to apophis,
we can't afford to take him with us.
What will become of him?
We have a little surprise planned.
Shall we?
Tok'ra woman: Colonel O'Neill. Teal'c.
Allow me to welcome you and your team back to vorash.
High counsel per'sus sends his greetings.
Always a pleasure.
I must say, colonel, I was most intrigued
by your means of arrival.
Yeah, it's a sweet ride.
Little rusty, but, uh, it's still got zip
how exactly did a Goa'uld mothership
come into your possession?
Well, it was kind of a... Trade deal.
How so?
Cronus gave us his ship,
and he got what was coming to him.
Really? Cronus is dead?
Now that we have access to a mothership,
we will be able to move our people and our Stargate as well
andthereby establish a completely new and secure base.
I don't understand.
Why have I been excluded from
such important information?
The tok'ra did not wish apophis to be informed.
We've been aware of your duplicity from the beginning.
You deceived andthen murdered
the Jaffa shau'nac,
you took the host hebron,
and you've been acting as a spy amongst us ever since.
Teal'c: You have been used to channel misinformation
to apophis.
He will be most displeased when he learns the truth.
This is absurd.
You will never escape.
The system lords will hunt you down
to the ends of the galaxy.
That guy is a living cliche.
I wish to speak to the prisoner.
I wasn't aware I was allowed guests.
How kind of you to come visit me, Teal'c.
My presence here is not motivated by kindness.
I am here to deliver your sentence
as decreed by the tok'ra high council.
Death, I suppose.
You are to be extracted from the host hebron
and left behind here on vorash.
If you are fortunate,
you will die before apophis discovers
how you've been used by the tok'ra.
I am sure that you would like to kill me
with your bare hands...
As I did your beloved shau'nac.
You, of all, would appreciate how much more satisfying it is
to see the fear and pain in the eyes of your victim
as they die.
You took great pleasure in the murder of shau'nac,
butyou must understand the price you paid.
While apophis was being diverted
by your unwitting deception,
the tok'ra were able to move freely
through Goa'uld territory untouched,
rescuing stranded agents, freeing captured allies.
Hundreds of lives were saved
by the false information you spread.
The tok'ra owe you a debt of gratitude, tanith.
Were it not for the relative ease
with which you allowed yourself to be manipulated,
apophis may have eliminated the tok'ra.
All they have done is win a respite.
In evitably,
the tok'ra/tau'ri alliance will fall,
as so many others.
Not by any action of yours.
I will watch you die like all the other false gods
whose demise I have witnessed:
Sokar, Seth, hathor,
aru'ur, cronus.
I'm sure they died with more honor than shau'nac.
She cried out for you like a baby weeps for its mother
as I slowly extinguished her life.
You're attempting to goad me
into killing you,
thereby avoiding the extraction process.
I understand itto be excruciatingly painful
for the symbiote.
I am far more valuable to you alive than dead.
The tok'ra do not believe so.
And I am inclined to agree.
You'll have to take that to the secondary cargo hold.
We need to make room for the Stargate.
H ey!
Don't scuff the walls.
Iwantthis ship back the way we found it.
We know, Jack.
I still don'tthink it's really necessary for you to be here.
Sorry. Not letting her out of my sight.
My mission is to oversee the relocation of the tok'ra base.
What's yours, again?
Protect earth's big, fat asset.
We've got about and scientists
just drooling to go through this thing.
You really think that's wise?
Don't start with me, Jake.
Remember when you tried to retrofit a death—glider?
Yes, I have that memory.
This is avastly more complicated piece of technology.
Which is exactly why we're loaning itto you
in exchange for flying lessons.
You know what I mean.
You should really leave the ship with us.
Not a chance.
This is me talking, jack—— Jacob, not selmak.
You have no idea how dangerous this thing is.
Hey. We were smart enough
to steal it in the first place,
which is more than the tok'ra have been able to do.
We don't operate that way.
Maybe it's time you took a more direct approach.
Tok'ra have been around for what——2,000 years?
In all that time, how many system lords have you taken down?
Oh, yeah. Things have certainly gotten better out here
since you started killing goa'ulds off one by one.
Let's examine the results.
In each case, more warlike goa'ulds
have stepped in to fill their place.
There's more chaos than ever before.
With the power apophis now has,
we are on the brink of losing any chance
of ever defeating the Goa'uld.
At least we're doing something.
Well, we're doing something as well.
Maybe our plan is a little more long—term,
but at least we have one.
What plan?
Undermine the goa'ulds' individual power
and keep them fighting amongst themselves
until we have a way of eliminating them once and for all.
Go on.
We're working on it, Jack.
You think you can save my host hebron
by separating him from me.
I will not allow you to kill me.
Hebron's life is in my hands.
If I am to die, he will die with me.
(Th ud)
The prisoner just collapsed.
Lower the shield. Lower the shield!
We cannotjust stand by and allow him to kill the host.
He's already dead.
Carter: We finished loading the supplies onto the ship.
It's time to start transporting you people up.
Tok'ra woman: We will begin immediately.
(Alarm ringing)
It's tanith. He's escaped.
Tanith could not have escaped
th rough the Stargate.
It has been heavily guarded the entire time.
Yeah? What, by the same guys
who were guarding him in the first place?
No offense.
He is out here somewhere.
Yeah? Well, he's boned without water.
The symbiote will sustain him for a considerable time.
Big desert.
I will continue looking.
Keep in touch.
So, how do you guys know where to stand, anyway?
(Transporter rings activating)
Any sign of him?
Nope. He's still looking.
You guys have been up there for hours already.
Yeah. It's a Jaffa revenge thing.
It seems tanith's been busy.
We've received word from one of our operatives
that apophis has been given our location.
Guess he's trying to make up for the last few months.
An attack fleet is being assembled.
O'Neill: How long will it take them to get here?
Jacob: Less than a day.
We have to speed up the evacuation.
We're gonna send them through the gate.
I thought we were gonna take them on the ship
Sam and I have come up with a new plan.
If it works, we may be able to wipe out
a significant part of apophis' fleet in one shot.
(Beeping)
This is a sun that vorash is orbiting.
It's a regular main—sequence star
with a core temperature of about 15 million degrees
and enough hydrogen
to burn for another
yeah?
We want to blow it up
wow. That's, uh...
Both: Ambitious.
Every star is a delicate balance
between the explosive force of the fusion
going on in its core—...
Which ten ds to want to blow it apart—...
And the gravitational force of its mass,
which tends to want to crush it into a little ball.
If we could disrupt that balance
by suddenly removing some of the star's mass,
we could create an artificial supernova.
The blast wave would expand
at nearly the speed of light.
It would destroy everything in the system
within a matter of minutes.
Jackson: Um...
How is this removed from the star's mass?
Well, uh...
This is gonna sound a little crazy,
but we dialed p3w451.
It's the planet where we encountered the black hole.
Wow. That sounds a little crazy.
Yeah.
We take the Stargate and the mothership
and bring it as close to the sun as we can.
Then we dial the black hole,
enclose the gate in a force field,
and jettison it.
The sun's gravity will pull it in,
the force field will disintegrate,
and stellar matter will be sucked through that wormhole
like water through a fire hose.
It's likely the gate won't last long,
butwe figure it'll be long enough.
Uh, excuse me.
Wasn't the gate on p3w451
sucked into the black hole a long time ago?
Not necessarily.
That planet was probably ripped to pieces,
but it could take years for that matter
to spiral into the event horizon,
especially given the time distortion.
Either way, we'll know as soon as we try to dial out.
If we can't make a connection,
we abort the plan and get the hell out of there.
(Sighs)
Let me think about this a moment.
You're the one who wanted to take more direct measures, Jack.
Council's already approved the plan.
But it's your ship, which means it's your call.
Still thinking.
Sir, this solar system
is completely abandoned and barren,
apophis' fleet is on the way,
and we may never have another opportunity like this again.
Hey, Teal'c. I've been looking for you.
There's been a change of plans.
I have been informed of major Carter's intentions.
So you understand, then,
that there's nowhere for tanith to run.
This whole planet is gonna be incinerated.
If all goes according to plan, yes.
You don'tthink we can pull it off?
I have great confidence in both selmak and major Carter.
But...
Twice I have had the opportunity
to avenge the murder of shau'nac.
Twice I have let tanith slip th rough my grasp
I have failed shau'nac.
That's not true.
You let tanith live
so the tok'ra could use him,
and it worked.
Now we're about to take down apophis
and the largest Goa'uld fleet
ever assembled.
It will be a great victory.
That's right.
And yet, knowing what apophis did to sha're,
would you not trade it all
for the opportunity to crush the life from his throat with your bare hands?
Well...
I'd be lying to you if I said
I'd never thought about it, but...
That doesn't mean I'd do it...
Given a more rational option.
In the future,
I will not be capable of such restraint.
Carter: The last of the tok'ra have been evacuated,
and the Stargate's been loaded into the cargo bay.
We're good to go.
Oh!
Shotgun.
Setting course for the sun.
I'm picking up the fleet on long—range scanners.
At current speed, they'll be here in 68 minutes.
The timing has to be precise.
Once we're close enough to the sun,
we'll slow to 5% light speed and release the gate.
That should give us more than enough time to get away.
How much advanced warning is apophis gonna have?
They won't be able to detect the gate on their screens,
andthey won't know vorash is deserted
until they're in orbit.
By then, it'll be too late.
Jacob: We're in position. Slowing to 5% light speed.
Carter: Cargo bay's gravity generators at maximum.
Initiating remote dial—out sequence.
Ready when you are.
It worked. The gate on p3w451 is still active.
Engaging force field.
(Exhales sharply)
Something wrong?
No.
I've just never blown up a star before.
Well, they say the first one's always the hardest.
Th ey say that.
Opening cargo bay doors...
Releasing the clamps...
And the gate is away.
Gate trajectory on course.
All right, time to go.
Prepare for hyperspeed.
(Rumbling and explosions)
What the hell's that?
What the hell was that?
We're under attack.
Teal'c, weapons.
Shields are inoperative.
It can't be apophis. It's too soon.
Acouiring target.
It is an al'kesh—...
A Goa'uld midrange bomber.
It must have been cloaked.
Weapons are charged. Returning fire.
She's too quick.
Here she comes again, Teal'c.
Jacob...
We've lost main power.
Hyperdrive is down.
We're sitting ducks.
Why haven'tthey finished us off?
Jacob: They took a direct hit.
They might be just as damaged as we are.
H ey, who's th ey, anyway?
I have no idea.
Tactical indicators are down.
Weapons?
Inoperable.
I have to go check it out.
Wait! Whoa.
We've still got an enemy ship out there.
Sir, when that gate reaches the sun—...
It's not gonna make any difference
if we get blown out of the sky.
What do you want us to do, Jack?
We have no weapons or shields.
Gliders.
The ship's got gliders, right?
Of course.
Teal'c?
The al'kesh has a significant advantage
in both size and armaments.
Hey, nice preflightthere.
However, we have superior man euverability.
All right, there she is.
Jacob was right.
The ship appears to have been damaged.
Well, let's put her out of her misery.
Powering weapons.
What the hell...
They appear to have repaired their engines.
Jack, what's happening outthere?
O'Neill: They're breaking off.
So let them go.
O'Neill, the ship appears to be headed for vorash.
Uh, Teal'c?
We must not allow tanith to escape.
Um, Teal'c thinks the ship
might be going to pick up tanith.
That makes sense, Jack.
He probably had his ship waiting
in a nearby system the whole time.
That's why they got here so fast.
Yeah. Well, seems we're going after 'em.
It's a Jaffa revenge thing.
Carter: Sir, you only have a little more than an hour.
O'Neill: Aw, Carter, relax. Be back in plenty of time.
Right, Teal'c?
We'll be back in plenty of time?
Buddy?
Pal?
Dear god.
Sam, I'm gonna need your help with the hyperdrive.
Dr. Jackson, you have the pel'tac.
Uh, w—what exactly does that mean?
Jacob: We'll stay in touch.
Target is in range.
Weapons locked.
Here we go.
(Distant rumbling)
Pull up, Teal'c. Teal'c, pull up!
O'Neill: Mayday. Mayday. We are so going in!
(Burst of static)
Jack, can you hear me?
Jack, I'm not reading you. What's happening?
(Static)
Jack?!
(Static)
Main power's back on—line.
Weapons and shields are operational.
What about the hyperdrive?
Hmm.
The control circuit is fried.
The engines themselves are fine,
but we're gonna have to reroute
th rough secondary systems.
Well, how long will that take?
We'll have to move fast.
Jackson: Sam?
Go ahead.
I just got a mayday from Jack.
What's going on?
I don't know. I lostthe transmission.
Hang on.
We have to go back for them.
We can't. Not now.
Why not? We have sublight speed.
I know, but I'm the only one that can flythis ship,
and I have to stay here and make these repairs.
Well, I'll do them.
Sam.
We're not leaving them behind. You can talk me through it.
You can start by pulling out the burned crystals.
The propulsion system and communication array
have been damaged beyond repair.
Well, that's good,
because according to my calculations,
we are roughly in the middle of...
Nowhere, give or take.
The cruiser was on its way
to pick up tanith.
Therefore, we cannot be far from the tok'ra base.
If we can make it there,
major Carter and Daniel Jackson
can bring us aboard the mothership.
You're assuming they're assuming we're alive
andthey're coming back for us, of course.
Care to make a wager, O'Neill?
On which part?
I believe it is this way.
This is sothe lasttime I help someone move.
(Beeping)
Jacob: Good. The tactical display came back on—line.
Yeah. Ithinkwe have a problem here.
I figure that flashing wasn't good news
and the fact that in Goa'uld, it says,
"warning, warning."
It's apophis. He's here.
He's a little ahead of schedule.
The other ship must have warned him
to pick up the pace.
What are you doing?
Retreating.
And what about Jack and Teal'c?
Apophis' ships are taking up attack positions around vorash.
He'd destroy us before we even got close.
I'm not going to abandon them, Daniel.
We need to buy more time.
If we move around behindthe sun,
the fleet won't spot us.
This is a bad idea. I said that, remember?
Remember I said, "general, this is a bad idea"?
I remember, O'Neill.
"Letthetok'ra get their own ship," I said.
"If they don't share with us,
why should we share with them?"
I remember.
Yep, that's what I said.
How much time remains before the sun explodes, O'Neill?
Huh? Oh.
45 minutes.
At least we have prevented tanith from escaping.
Yes, at least we have that.
Apophis sends his greetings.
He bids you welcome upon his vessel.
He is grateful for your service.
There may still be one more thing
for which he can be grateful.
Carter: Ok, now what?
Replace the last two crystals.
The whole panel should light up,
and you should hear a hum.
Humming away. Hyperdrive's on—line.
Yeah, it should be around here somewhere.
Indeed. The rings are centered here.
So, now what?
Jacob: The Stargate just entered the sun.
We only have 27 minutes before it goes supernova.
Why aren't we heading back to vorash?
Apophis is already there.
There's no way we're gonna get near that planet.
But we have to do something!
Apophis wants the tok'ra, so let's give them to him.
You are injured.
I will be fine.
Where are the tok'ra?
The attempt to stop their ship was thwarted.
However, I have managed to procure a gift,
which will make the journey seem worthwhile.
(Footsteps approaching)
The shol'va.
You have done well.
Remote guidance engaged. Launching gliders.
Lord apophis,
scanners have picked up a fleet of gliders
moving up from behindthe sun.
Surroundthem.
The fleet is on course.
They are heading out of the system.
Speed increasing.
He's taking the bait.
The fleet is leaving vorash.
Pilot: We're approaching the enemy ships.
My lord, there are no life signs.
The ships are unmanned.
Atrick.
Sensors are picking up a ha'tak
now approaching the planet.
Less than 4 minutes before the sun begins to supernova.
Jackson: Jack, come in.
(Static)
Jack, come in.
Yeah, I'm here.
Hey, thanks for checking in.
We had a little trouble avoiding apophis' fleet.
Are you in position to be ringed up?
Uh, yeah, I suppose. I don't know.
Jack, if you're not in position—...
Daniel, just get me the hell out of here, will ya?
We gotta get out of here.
If my calculations were correct...
Apophis: Arm the weapons.
My lord.
Engaging hyperdrive.
What just happened?
We must have caughtthe tail end of the blast wave.
It knocked us off course.
Sir.
Where's Teal'c?
I'm not sure. I think he's dead.
If apophis has him...
Well, we have to go back!
That may not be possible, Sam.
The navigational computer
isn't recognizing any of the star patterns.
According to these readings...
We've traveled over 4 million light years.
That's impossible.
We're not even in our own galaxy anymore.
The explosion must have somehow affected
the subspace window created by the hyperdrive.
Wait a minute. What are you saying, we can't get back?
I don't know.
The ship isn't normally capable of going so fast.
It only took us a few seconds to get here.
Given our current position
and maximum hyperdrive speed,
it's gonna take us 125 years to get back.
(Instruments beeping)
Long—range sensors are picking up another ship
It's apophis.
