Previously onstargate sg—1
the replicators,
they've launched an all—out attack on the Goa'uld.
If the Goa'uld can't find a way to stop them,
the replicators will easily overrun our galaxy in a matter of weeks.
Daniel!
Unfortunately...
To get what I need...
We're going to have to dig a little deeper.
(Teal'c): We must, once and for all,
destroy the Goa'uld's image as gods... forever.
How?
By capturing the temple at dakara.
There's a way to defeatthe replicators
hidden somewhere within my memories, isn't there?
You need only to open your mind to it.
A force of rebel Jaffa
have managed to take control of the temple at dakara.
Have the fleet disengage their battle with the replicators.
Take it back at all costs.
(Replicator Carter): The ruins of an ancient monument
on a planet now called dakara...
Within it is the one weapon in this galaxy
capable of destroying me.
(Carter): A device capable of destroying all life in the galaxy?
That's what he said.
Ba'al said he was serving Anubis?
Not exactly.
You know those Goa'uld and their egos.
He would never admit to being subservient.
No.
He said he was biding his time,
learning what he could from Anubis.
Probably looking for a way to kill him.
Well, we have no idea howthis ancient device works
or what the effects will be,
but since Anubis has no real corporeal form,
it's likely he would survive it.
He'd have no one leftto rule.
For now.
I mean, time may not even be an issue for someone like him.
He could essentially start over,
repopulate the galaxy to his own specifications.
That's a little ambitious.
Well, he has at least some knowledge of the ancients.
Iwouldn't put it past him.
Yeah.
Well, let me sit here and state the obvious—...
We can't let something like this get into his hands.
Or the replicator's hands, for that matter.
How much time do we have before ba'al's fleet reaches dakara?
(Sighs) Why?
Ba'al didn't say exactly where the device was, did he?
No, he said it was hidden.
Well, chances are it's in the ruins,
but we can't be sure.
I mean, short of blowing up the entire planet,
we can't be ioo% positive we've destroyed it,
and if it's protected by a shield,
even our biggest naouadah—enhanced nuke might not do it.
Fact is, to be sure we've destroyed the weapon,
we have to find it first.
We've found no evidence of a weapon.
Thanks, guys. We'll take it from here.
But this structure was definitely built by the ancients.
As evidenced by the script on this wall.
Until I sawthis monument with my own eyes,
I did not know that dakara was a home of the ancients.
The ancient repository of knowledge we found on p3x 439
was hidden in a large monument like this.
Maybe this writing will help us
uncover the location of the weapon.
I was able to recognize the language.
Deciphering it, however, is another matter.
I brought Daniel's notebooks.
(Selmak): This dialect looks very old.
It may take some time.
I will leave you to it.
We will be vastly outnumbered by ba'al's forces.
I refuse to consider a strategy
that demands the deliberate sacrifice of Jaffa lives.
What, then, do you advocate?
Prayer, perhaps?
Jaffa...
We are here to consider the battle with our enemy.
Not battle each other.
Ba'al's forces approach at a rate of speed
far slower than they are capable.
Indeed, it seems he does wish to give us time
to find and destroy the weapon.
Why not just destroy it himself?
Ba'al is in a difficult position.
With so many witnesses,
it is far easier to tell Anubis
that the weapon was destroyed
before he was able to reclaim dakara.
How, then, will he explain his languid pace?
Regardless...
He will only hesitate so long.
Five hatak.
Eight alkesh.
Io souadrons of gliders.
That is all we have.
Empty the bays.
Deploy the gliders to the far side of the planet.
Take two hatak and all the alkesh,
and position them on the other side of the moon.
Divide our forces?
Precisely.
All of our hardship...
The suffering...
The sacrifices we have made for our cause will endtoday,
one way or another.
This battle will decide the fate of all Jaffa.
This is madness.
So, too, at one time
was the very thought of our freedom.
So now what? You done?
You got what you wanted.
I don't suppose you want to just drop me off at the nearest Stargate?
It is true.
I learned the location of the weapon
that could be a threat to me and my brethren,
but I also saw the extent of knowledge
your subconscious mind contains.
You have no idea, do you?
No.
No, I don't.
You've tried accessing it,
but it's always just out of reach, isn't it?
I could help you.
We could unlock the knowledge of the ancients,
the secrets of the universe...
Together.
I have to admit, it does sound interesting.
On the other hand, you're an evil killing machine.
So, no. Pass.
No.
Don't do this.
You had the power.
You were about to strike, but she stopped you.
No, I don't believe you.
You can make me see whatever you want. That's just a trick.
You know it's true.
Destroying the weapon that can destroy me is one thing—...
A good thing for me,
butthere is more.
There is away to kill Anubis in your mind,
and so much more.
I am not done, Daniel Jackson.
Far from it.
In fact, we have only just begun.
"Midday, the darkness is high in the sky?"
You sure about that?
(Selmak): That is what it says.
It doesn't make much sense.
(Jacob): Yeah, well, n eith er does
"the wind blows on the pillow,"
or "th ree days to the chicken,"
but that's what these ph rases apparently translate into.
Are you saying this whole wall of writing is nonsense?
I don't know what I'm saying.
Is it possible you made a mistake?
(Selmak): Would you care to try?
The text is ouite difficult,
and if there is an organizing principle
to Dr. Jackson's notes,
I have yet to discover it.
Yeah. He certainly has his own system.
Colonel Carter.
Go ahead, Teal'c.
Have you had any success with the translation?
We're making... some progress.
I am afraid you do not have much more time.
Our long—range scanners have detected ba'al's fleet.
He will be here within the hour.
Understood.
It would be much easier on both of us
if you did not resist.
Why, why, why?
Why, in the whole wide world of all things rational and sane
would I help you?
Because deep down, you also want the knowledge I seek.
Yes, but the problem is anything I learn I won't be able to much use,
because right after I'm done, you're going to kill me.
What if I promised notto?
Yeah.
Do you really think I am that different from Samantha Carter?
In that you're a replicator bent on galactic domination
at the expense of all other living things...
Her thoughts, her memories,
even her emotions,
they are not meaningless to me.
I do not wish to harm you—...
Or destroy earth, for that matter.
I could have done that already if I so desired.
You're saying you'll leave earth untouched?
I promise you that,
and your life.
Nope, nope, not going to help you,
but obviously, I can't do anything to stop you, so...
Give it your best shot.
What if it's a code?
Something that can only be deciphered
by someone who understands the language.
Can I see that?
You're holding it upside down.
I know, I just noticed...
Upside down, these symbols look
like another word I've seen before.
Right—side up, it's "darkness."
Turn it around, and...
It translates into "sun."
"Midday, the sun is high in the sky."
That makes a lot more sense.
(Jacob): Yeah, but so what?
That's not what the wall says.
Now it does.
It can't be that simple.
Justturn all five circles upside down?
No, I agree.
It has to be some sort of combination lock.
We just need to figure out which circles to turn.
Your pathetic trickery will only delay your inevitable defeat.
There is no trickery at hand.
We know that, inevitably, your goal
is to eradicate all free Jaffa.
We have sentthe bulk of our fleetto safety
to survive to fight another day.
Surrender now, or be destroyed.
Defeat those who remain,
and you'll be forced to destroy the weapon on dakara yourself.
Then you must face Anubis.
His fleet appears to be holding position.
For the moment.
(Rumbling)
Let's hope that's not a bad sign.
Nice going, Sam.
We're in business.
It's definitely of ancient design, sir.
Think our bomb will do the trick?
We'll soon see. Give us 10 minutes.
Carter out.
Right.
Sam...
You might want to hold off on that for a minute.
If I'm reading this screen right...
The weapon uses an energy wave
to reduce all matter to its basic molecular elements.
It's not strong enough
to disintegrate an entire planet,
but it will wash away everything on a planet's surface,
and anything in the surrounding space.
That sounds bad.
I know,
but it also sounds like it does it much the same way
your disruptor technology works on the replicators,
by separating the individual components.
They are both ancient design,
and general O'Neill did use ancient knowledge to build the disruptor.
I know.
Do you think this weapon can be modified
to work only on the replicators?
I don't know,
but I'd hate to blow it up
before iwas ioo% sure it couldn't.
Teal'c, do you read?
Proceed, colonel Carter.
Look, um...
My dad and selmak thinkthis weapon
may hold the key to defeating the replicators,
and we'll need some time to find out.
Just let us know when things get bad,
and we'll blow it and get out.
Understood.
Carter out.
Ba'al's fleet just began moving into attack position.
It appears things are about to get...
Bad.
I'm not getting anything.
This may not be possible, you know.
Come on, Sam, it can't be any harder than blowing up a sun.
You know, you blow up one sun,
and suddenly everyone expects you to walk on water.
There you go.
Well, next up, parting the red sea.
Shields are down 50%.
We cannot take much more.
Signal the other hatak.
Begin retreating, sublight engines only,
full power.
The rebels are fleeing, my lord.
The planet is ours.
They expect us to follow
so that they may draw the fleet into battle on two fronts.
Signal the fleet to pursue the sholva.
My lord?
Dakara can wait.
No battle strategy can save them now.
We will crush them
and then take the temple.
Yes, my lord.
I'm pretty sure this output
is giving us the frequency spectrum
of the wave the weapon uses to disintegrate matter.
That's nothing like the spectrum analysis
of the replicator disruptor wave.
Here, look.
Yeah, I know,
but all we have to do is alter the settings on the weapon console
so that the output wave matches that of the disruptor technology.
All we have to do?
Yeah, the device can be set
by varying the height of these panels.
Hmm...
Well, I can run a program
to compare the difference between the two waves.
It should let us know if we're even going in the right direction.
That's good.
You know, even if we can make this work,
the replicators were quickly able to adapt themselves
to the frequency modulation Thor made
to the original disruptor wave.
What are you saying?
We realized the only way to eliminate the replicators
and not allow them time to develop an immunity
was to somehow hitthem all at the same time.
Everywhere in the galaxy?
How are we supposed to do that?
The weapon translates th rough the Stargate.
Do you think Anubis was planning to use the weapon
to attack one planet at atime?
So dial multiple gates simultaneously?
Not multiple gates,
all of them.
Every Stargate in the galaxy at one time?
Do you know how many gates there are in the whole galaxy?
A lot.
(Selmak): I have no idea how to alter a Stargate to perform such a function.
I don't know of anyone who can.
Ithinki know someone.
Are you certain, colonel Carter?
I don'tthinkwe have a choice, Teal'c.
I mean, this could be the best chance we'll ever get.
Understood.
Opening a channel.
(Comm channel beeps open)
No doubtyou have decided to surrender.
Awise decision, given that you face imminent defeat.
We have no intention of surrendering.
I merely wish to inform you
that we have found the ancient weapon on dakara.
Do you intend to destroy it?
That would be foolish.
We have learned that the ancient weapon may be the means
to destroy the replicators once and for all.
It's incredible,
yet you still resist me.
Do you not care? Are you not amazed by what you are seeing?
I don't understand it.
It's more than any human can begin to comprehend.
I am not human.
Oh, believe me, I know.
There must be a limitto how much your mind can process,
how much information you can store.
I am sharing what I learn with my brethren.
The extent of knowledge we can absorb
is only limited by our numbers.
As we speak,
those numbers are growing faster than you can imagine.
This chamber must be well—shielded.
I could not find it using my ship's sensors.
Look, I assume Teal'c told you the plan.
What makes you think you can modify this weapon to defeat the replicators?
We're already on our way to doing that.
We need to get this weapon's wave output
to match our modified replicator disruptor wave
to within a margin of .76%.
How did you develop this replicator disruptor technology
in the first place?
General O'Neill built it
using ancient knowledge and an asgard computer.
O'Neill?
The mere thought of that makes me sick.
Look, if we can do this
and somehow hit the replicators all at the same time,
we think it will work,
but we need your help
you want me to reprogram a Stargate
to dial every gate in the galaxy simultaneously.
I know you used the gate's automatic update program
to disseminate a dialing program virus to the entire gate network.
With a virus you initially planted in my Stargate.
No on e's trying to deny that we're mortal enemies here.
Can you do it or not?
I cannot believe I am even considering
cooperating with a female of the tauri
and a tok'ra.
(Selmak): This was not my idea,
believe me.
I'll instruct my troops to land.
No way.
You send one Jaffa down here, and the deal's off.
I can not do what you ask
by means of a hologram transmission.
Sure you can.
Justtell me whatto do.
Unscheduled off—world activation.
Is that Carter? No, sir.
We're picking up a radio signal.
Put it on speaker.
(Static on radio)
Sergeant? I don't know, sir.
What the hell is that?
I'm not sure, sir.
I can't access the system.
It looks like somebody's hacked
into the computer remotely.
Shut it down.
I can't, sir. I'm locked out.
Damn.
This is general O'Neill.
Sir!
Evacuate the gateroom!
Get out of there!
Close the blast doors.
Initiate base lockdown.
Emergency evacuation of all personnel
through alternate routes.
Self—destruct protocol on my order.
Let's go, Walter. Get out of here.
(Shouting orders)
Oh, man...
Sir!
We're cut off from the self—destruct.
They were too fast.
Even if we can fight through them now,
there's a good chance they've already disabled the activation mechanism.
Those bugs cannot get out of this mountain.
It's only a matter of time
before they gain control of the base systems
and override the security doors.
All right, let's make sure everybody's out of here,
and then we'll toss a little nuke down the silo.
You think that'll stop them?
It should slow them down.
Can't handle it, can you?
I can.
I just need time to process,
share it with the others.
Like the universe, it's infinite.
It's not just knowledge and information,
it's understanding on a level that you will never reach.
Why do you think that?
Because you're a machine.
So are you,
just of weaker construction.
And that's where you're wrong.
We'll see.
(Walter): General Hammond says
the president has authorized deployment
of a io—kiloton nuclear bomb on your command, sir.
An emergency state of alert has been issued,
and a zoo-square—mile radius around Cheyenne mountain
is currently being evacuated.
Atransport helicopter is waiting on the surface
for you and the remaining personnel.
Thank you, Walter.
Colonel?
We have a problem, sir.
Six sgc personnel are trapped on level 8.
They're cut off from the emergency escape hatch.
Siler?
Siler.
Oh, siler.
Let's go.
You lied to me.
What?
You promised you'd leave earth alone.
There's replicators infiltrating the sgc right now.
How can you know that?
While iwas in your mind, you were inside mine.
Took a while to figure out.
Fortunately, you were too distracted to notice.
Some of the ancient knowledge really helped, too. Thank you.
You tricked me. You tricked me first.
You should never have told me.
Too late.
For you, that is.
Trying to leave? Sorry.
A little more time in Danny's world.
My brethren will not stop
you cannot control them.
Not yet,
but I'm learning.
We rigged the dhd to dial automatically
on signal when the weapon's ready.
I think it should work.
Of course it will work.
How dare you doubt me?
What's he still doing here?
I can't exactly ask him to leave.
How's it going on your end?
I'm getting closer.
This one.
How do you know?
I am a god.
Gods are all—knowing.
Selmak can't work like this.
Neither can I.
Just try it.
Lucky guess.
Siler, are you in there? Yes, sir.
We're going to get you out.
Step away from the blast door.
Yes, sir!
Let's get this table over.
Use two of those things.
Sir?
It's a "blast door."
Hang on, siler.
Fire in the hole.
Down!
Whoa.
Siler?
Thank you, sir.
I expectto be put in your will.
Already in it, sir.
Okay, that's weird.
(Replicators whirring)
Oh, crap
Sensors are picking up multiple ships exiting hyperspace.
They are firing on ba'al's forces.
It is the replicators.
Nowthis one.
That one took us in the wrong direction.
All—knowing, huh?
What's th e matter?
My ships are under attack.
A massive replicator—controlled fleet
is encroaching on the planet.
Running low on ammo, sir!
Fall back!
Instruct all of our vessels to target the replicator ships.
Are we not better off letting them destroy each other?
If the replicators should prevail
and gain control of the weapon on dakara,
all that we have fought for is lost.
(Walter): General, 15 minutes to safe detonation conditions.
Yeah, you know, Walter?
Right now we're having a slightly difficult time getting out of here.
Relaythis to general Hammond—...
The second he can pull the trigger on that nuke,
do it. Do you read?
Yes, sir.
And have that chopper that's waiting for us
leave now.
Yes, sir.
Sir?
You see those bugs going to that hatch?
Yes, sir.
Think getting out of the base is their primary goal?
It's a fairly safe bet.
They're going to the surface.
Leaving the only other way out of here accessible.
And here.
1.32. We're almost there.
My ship has lost life support on several levels.
Our shield strength is failing.
I cannot maintain my transmission.
We've almost got it. Thanks for the help
good luck.
That was just creepy.
Keep working.
(Typing)
Siler, can we dial out?
I'm working on it, sir.
10 minutes to detonation.
Shields down!
Weapons systems offline!
Reroute power to sublight engines.
Evasive man euvers.
They are too fast.
We cannot evade them.
How's it going in there?
Not well. Same here.
Grenade!
Variable off by .98.
(Gunfire erupts outside)
What's that?
Hurry.
I almost got it. Just a little more time.
I don'tthink we have it.
Siler!
Sorry, sir, I'm trying.
Got you now.
(Whirring halts)
Huh...
That's odd.
The replicator ship just... stopped.
Sensors are indicating
that all of the replicator ships have ceased activity.
Colonel Carter,
have you successfully activated the weapon?
Not yet,
but the replicators down here just froze.
Dad?
Almost there!
There are so many, aren'tthere?
Too many for your mind to handle.
It's taking all of your concentration
just to control them.
(G roan s)
Well, that was too good to last.
Dad, they're on the move again!
.76!
Do it!
(Rumbling)
Incoming wormhole?
Enemy ship is in range.
It is powering weapons.
We cannot survive another hit.
Dad...
I'm all right.
What happened?
I don't know.
You did it.
Well, selmak deserves a little credit.
Okay, most of it.
All replicator—controlled ships are dormant.
Prepare enough squads to board them
and reclaim them in the name of their god.
Yes, my lord.
We are being hailed.
On screen.
Surrender now, and you will be granted mercy.
You are hardly in any position
to be making such ridiculous demands.
You are surrounded.
You are incorrect.
It is, in fact, you that is surrounded
by free Jaffa.
Behold your false god.
(Laughs)
Any more word from Teal'c?
Yes, sir.
Although ba'al got away,
the factthat he turned tail and ran
made the rebel victory every bit the turning point
Teal'c and bratac were hoping for.
Jaffa from all over the galaxy
are joining with them.
Well, vive la revolution.
They've got a significant—sized fleet
securing dakara.
Hopefully, with the weapons we've provided,
they'll be able to turn the tide
against Anubis' supersoldiers.
It looks like
the Jaffa might finally win their freedom.
It's about time. Yes, sir.
Oh, I heard from Thor.
How's he doing? Great.
He sends us all his congratulations
and says that he will drop by for a visit
as soon as his consciousness has been downloaded
from the ship's computer into a new body.
Thatjust never gets old, does it?
Apparently not.
Carter, did you notice
if the replicators where you were happened to...
Stop in the middle of everything?
Yeah, it was really strange. They just...
Froze. Froze.
It actually bought us the time we needed
to calibrate the weapon.
Any idea why that happened?
You think Daniel had something to do with it?
I don't know.
Sir, if he was on board that replicator ship when—...
Carter...
We don't know anything.
No, sir.
Anything else?
No, sir.
