"Previously on Stargate SG-1:" "Merlin?" "King-Arthur-and-the-Knights- of-the-Round-Table Merlin?" " Was an Ancient?" " Yes." "I think so." "What does this have to do with where this treasure is?" "Certain threads point to the Knights of the Round Table gathering treasures from Arthur's domain and hiding them in a stronghold at Avalon." "All free Jaffa have always had the greatest respect for the warriors of the Sodan." "Granting my freedom changes nothing, Mitchell." "We will meet again." "You are still working on that thing?" "Oh, hi." " Did you sleep here last night?" " Of course not." " I slept down the hall in my quarters." " Sam." "This device was recovered from the cave under Glastonbury." "Who knows what Ancient secrets it may hold." "Obviously not you or Dr. Lee, who's been working on that thing for, what, six months?" "I think it's time we let the eggheads at Area 51 take a crack at it." "Not yet." "I'm actually making some progress here." "That's what you said last night." "And I'm hankering for hash browns." "So let's go grab some breakfast." "Hey, this is interesting." "This is the first time my verification scans kicked back a positive result." "Does this mean I'm not getting my hash browns?" "It means this device is interactive." "I'm reading an E.M. Output that keeps fluctuating between high and low frequencies." " I'm gonna try to stabilize it." " Sure." "What have you got to lose?" " You okay?" " Yeah, I'm fine." "What just happened?" "Nicely done." "Can you read that?" " My Ancient's a little rusty." " Right." "We need Jackson." "Hey, Bill, good timing." "Take a look at this." "Yo, doc, amazing discovery over here." "Bill, you okay?" "Oh, what the hell!" " What was that?" " I don't know." "Okay, you're solid." "It's the device." "By initiating it, we must have triggered some sort of localized effect." " "Local" meaning you and me?" " Yeah." "Try picking up that coffee cup." "Oh, boy." "We need to find Daniel." ""Out of phase." What does that mean?" "It means we may have shifted to an alternate dimension." " There are infinite dimensions." " No, no." "That's alternate realities." " So when the other SG-1 showed up..." " Completely different problem." "According to M-theory, that unites the five superstring theories there are several spatial dimensions, 11, actually that exist in parallel with our physical realities." " Now, these higher dimensions..." " I'll take your word." "That was alternate reality." "This is alternate dimension." "All I need is a time-travel adventure, and I've scored the SG-1 trifecta." "Now, how is Jackson supposed to help us?" "Well, a similar thing happened to him a few years ago." "PX7-377." "The Crystal Skull." "You really did read every report from every mission we ever went on." "I was in that hospital a long time, and they were all riveting." "When Daniel was out of phase, nobody could see him except for his grandfather, Nicholas Ballard." "And because the same thing happened to Ballard in Belize Jackson should see us because we're all part of the same club." " Right." " Perfect." "Teal'c, have you seen Colonel Mitchell?" " No, I have not." " I'm gonna need to talk to your team." "SG-12 just got back from P8T-474, and it looks like we may have a timeline for whatever it is the Priors are planning." "According to the natives this "Doomsday" the Priors keep talking about may be only days away." "I will inform the others." "Jackson, just the guy to help us with a little problem." "Or not." "The dimension we're occupying must be different from the one he was in." " "Alternate" alternate dimensions?" " Something like that, yeah." "Okay, so what do we do?" "We have to find a way to communicate with them." " Any ideas?" " Unscheduled off-world activation!" "What do we got?" "No IDC, sir, but I am receiving a radio signal." "Let's hear it." " What's wrong with it?" " Harmonic distortion in the stream." " I'm not sure, sir." " Can you clean it up?" "I can try, sir." "Okay, that sounded like something hitting the iris." " Any way to know for sure what it was?" " We can run some tests." "Do it." "Get Colonel Carter here to help unscramble that message." "Yes, sir." "I can't make heads or tails." "That's because the filter coefficient has to be adaptive." "The filter coefficient has to be adaptive." " Hey, wait a minute." " There you go." "Notice the slight variance in the output." "Notice it." "Come on!" "Notice it!" " Never mind." " Gosh!" "What do you mean missing?" "They are not in their quarters, or responding to attempts to contact them." "Possible they're not on base?" "Checked the front gate." "Neither signed out." " Security footage?" " We're reviewing tapes for both the labs and the cafeteria, but beyond that, well, there are hundreds of cameras and hours of tapes, so..." "We'll screen them all if we have to." "I want them found." "Why am I getting that "Patrick Swayze in Ghost" feeling?" "General, we need a Whoopi." "Walter." " We managed to clean up the message." " Finally." "We noticed a variance in the output, so we ran it through a sequence of digital filters, and we came up with this." "Stargate Command." "The Sodan." "Please respond." "Did he say Sodan?" "Many have fallen." "We request immediate assistance." "That's when we heard the impact." "General Landry, we should investigate." "Agreed." "Assemble a team." "Colonel Mitchell is the one who should go." "He knows the Sodan the best." "I agree, but Colonel Mitchell isn't here right now." "Hey, have you seen Colonel Carter?" "I was coming to ask you the same thing." "Really?" "Because she left her laptop in my lab." " She did?" " Yeah, yeah." "It's hooked up to that device that you picked up in Glastonbury." "There she is." "Fast forward." "There's Colonel Mitchell." "What just happened?" "Looks like the camera went offline." "Probably a power surge." "They're gone." "Okay, bring up the security camera for the corridor outside Dr. Lee's lab." "Sync them up to 8: 16, and run them simultaneously." "Okay, if they didn't go through the doorway how did they get out of the room?" "More staff blasts, just like back at the gate." "Indeed." "A battle took place here as well." "The Sodan have been hiding here for thousands of years." "We got the transporter codes because Colonel Mitchell won their trust." "I doubt they would've given them to anyone else." "And yet, evidently they were attacked." "By who?" "My God." "Conway, Stevens:" "Get back to the gate on the double." " Tell SG C we need med teams." " Yes, sir." "Check the area for survivors." "Whomever did this knew well the most efficient way to kill a Jaffa." "Their symbiotes have been targeted." "They were shown no mercy." "Haikon." " Pulse is weak." " He will not survive long." " His symbiote is dead." " Lieutenant help me get him into one of these huts." "We need to get some tretonin in him, stat." "Roast beef." "The one time I can't eat, and they serve roast beef." "Do know how many times I've requested roast beef?" " This is torture." " It's only been a few hours." "You're not concerned about this?" "No one can see us or hear us." "We can't touch anything, ergo, no eating, no drinking and I'm won't speculate on bodily functions." "If they don't figure out a way to get us back..." "They'll figure it out." "What have you got, Doctor?" "Well, we know that Sam was working on the device." "The device does not give off any typical energy signatures emitted by Ancient transporter technology." "This leads us to the conclusion that they disappeared without leaving the room." "How is that possible?" "Miniaturization." "Don't panic." "I have calculated the distance they could possibly travel on tiny legs designated by this roped off area." "All we have to do is find them." "Ronald, start with section 1 A." "I was unable to locate any other survivors." "What is his condition?" "We don't know if the tretonin's gonna take." "Even then his injuries are pretty severe." "Without a symbiote..." "Volnek." "Haikon, Haikon." "Fear not, brother." "You are among friends." "Teal'c, save yourself." "You shouldn't be here." "Tell me who has done this." "Tell me who has caused this devastation." "Volnek." "It was Volnek." "One man did this?" "Why would he turn on his people?" "Tell me." "Haikon." "Haikon." " Major, come in!" " This is Hadden." "Go ahead." "We're under attack, sir!" "Requesting backup immediately." "McKenzie, you stay with him." "Oh, come on." "It was a theory." "If I'd been right, you'd be calling me a genius now." "Yes, but you weren't right." "So, anything?" "Nothing significant." "Fairly constant power readings and slight traces of lepton radiation." " What?" " What?" "Lepton radiation?" "Lepton." "Lepton radiation?" "Yeah, but like I said, only traces." "I mean, there's nothing significant there." "Gotta go." "Stevens!" "This one is alive." "I never saw." "The shots came out of nowhere." "No doubt Volnek is using a Sodan cloak." "We gotta get him back to the gate now." "What's wrong?" "The code is not working." "Someone has removed one of the control crystals." "Then how are we supposed to get out of here?" "We cannot." "Come on, Jackson, figure it out." "I've already missed breakfast and lunch." " General." " Dr. Jackson." "I just came from Dr. Lee's lab." "Please tell me you have better news." "Been going over texts from the cave in Glastonbury." " And?" " References to Arthurian legend." "For instance, the word "Anawyn."" "...which shows up several times, is a variation on Annwn the Celtic Underworld, where King Arthur searched for 13 sacred objects." "One of which was a cloak." " The guy with big blowing robes?" " Renders the wearer invisible." ""The Mantle of Arthur," kept at Bardsey Island by none other than our friend Myrddin, whom we know as..." " Merlin." " Exactly." " No idea where you're going with this." " Me either." "Dr. Lee told me he detected amounts of lepton radiation from the device that I was able to put it together." "The crystal skull that transported me to another dimension also released lepton radiation." "You think the same thing happened to Carter and Mitchell?" " You're damn right!" " The mantle makes the user invisible." "Now, given what I've read, and what's happened today, it wasn't a cloak at all." " It was the device we recovered." " It makes sense, sir." "Historians attributed the powers to a cloak because they didn't understand." "They credited Arthur, out of deference to the king in power at the time." "Given what we know, it seems more likely it was Merlin who actually built the device." "Why would he build a device that could transport him to another dimension?" "Oh, today's "Daily Double."" "Yeah, that's the part I haven't figured out yet." " Close." " But it points to the possibility that both Colonel Mitchell and Carter may still be somewhere here on this base." "We just can't see or hear them." "We could make our way back to the gate on foot." "I do not believe that would be wise." "The journey would take months and the terrain is most treacherous." "There's not much for us here." "We're gonna run out of supplies before long." "Landry will send an extraction team when we fail to report." "And they'll end up stranded here, just like us." "We have food for the moment, and we can build shelter." "Perhaps, when the extraction team arrives, we can repair the obelisk." "What about Volnek?" "He's still out there." " Leave him to me." " Teal'c he took out an entire village." "It was my understanding those who use a cloaking device are invisible to everyone but each other." "So if you use that thing, you'll be able to see him." "Indeed." "Didn't help that guy that much though, did it?" "When I was out of phase, I could see and hear everything." "If they're in the same situation, they're hearing what we're saying now." " Except they can't respond." " Maybe they can." "They just don't know." "What does that look like to you?" "First reaction." "A keyboard." "Except there's no visual interface." " Not here." " You mean, it's on the other side?" "Merlin wanted the device to be interactive on both sides this and the alternate dimension." "This side is difficult to access." "I'm guessing as a type of safeguard against just anyone using the device." "But there'd be no reason to hide it on the other side." " Whoa, whoa, did you see that?" " Oh, yeah." " Yeah!" " Sam." "Mitchell, if..." "If you can hear me..." "Okay, let's call this button "yes," and this button "no."" "Okay, first question are you guys okay?" " Yes." "Yes, oh, thank God." "I mean, now we're getting somewhere." "Okay, besides the interactivity, is there anything else unusual on your end?" "Yes." " Connected to the device?" " Would you call it connected?" " Yes, yes." " Yes." "Yes." "Is it some sort of display?" " But that's..." "That's emphatic "yes."" " Okay, thought so." "Can you read it?" "It's in Ancient, isn't it?" "Okay." "All right." "Now you are gonna help me translate what you see but we don't know what pressing buttons will do so we're gonna have to stick with "yes" and "no," and just do it one letter at a time." " This is gonna take awhile?" " Oh, yeah." " Well, just keep me posted." " Yes, sir." "Okay, first letter..." "Status?" "Still no word from Teal'c or SG-12." " How long are they overdue?" " Over an hour." "Tell Colonel Reynolds to prep an extraction team." " Have them ready to move out ASAP." " Yes, sir." "Okay." "First letter, next word." "Stop me when you see the right symbol." " How's it going?" " Fantastic." "We've almost completed the first sentence." "Think you'll be okay on your own for a while?" "Sure, why?" "We've lost contact with Teal'c." "Landry's sending SG-3 and 22 to check on him at the Sodan village." " I figured I'd tag along." " Off-world?" "Yeah, well, Jackson was able to travel through the gate when he was out of phase, so, yeah." "Well, that's my point." "You're out of phase." " What do you hope to accomplish?" " Teal'c could be in trouble." "I wanna check it out." "No one can see me, I can't get hurt I can gather intel that no one else can." "Sam?" "Mitchell?" "Did you see it?" "Listen I promise I'll come back through the gate when they dial to check in." " I'll only be gone a couple of hours." " Hello, are you guys still there?" " Cameron..." " Sam Teal'c may need help and I have friends among the Sodan." "I'll be back soon, promise." "Like, slap a button or something." "Okay, thank you." "First letter, next word, and stop me when you see the right symbol." "Yes, okay." "Next word." "That's it!" "I got it." "I finally figured out what Colonel Carter did to trigger the device." "I ran a reverse scan on all the energy fluctuations we've been recording, put them through a program designed..." "Anyway, I isolated the algorithm she used to synchronize the energy emissions coming from the device." " What?" "Don't you see?" "That means if I counteract Sam's algorithm from my computer allow the emissions to return to their normal frequencies that could well reverse the process." "Oh, just give me a second." "This is brilliant." "That should do it." " Sam." " Daniel." "Bill, I will never doubt you again." "Oh, boy." "Dr. Jackson, can you hear me?" "If you can, press this button for "yes."" "Teal'c." "You all right?" "It is a light wound." "Lieutenant." "What happened?" "I found Volnek." "Then you're lucky to be alive." "Haikon." "Others were not so fortunate." "He woke up a few minutes ago." "What has happened to Volnek?" "Ten days ago he went to a neighbouring world to acquire supplies for our village." "On the way back to the chappa'ai, he encountered a Prior." "He was told that the Sodan  had committed unforgivable treason against the Ori." "The Prior v owed that great ill would befall us  then planted his staff into the ground." "Volnek returned to the village and told me of the encounter." "We took the threat seriously, k eeping a watchful eye on the chappa'ai." "Several days passed without incident  until  Volnek fell ill." "He became irrational, incoherent." "We isolated him, and treated him with our best medicines  but his condition worsened." "Yesterday, he broke the bonds that were meant to restrain him." "Our finest warriors attempted to subdue him but he killed them all with very little effort." "He then turned on everyone in sight." "His own brother, Jolan, was killed in the carnage that followed." "Women and children fled to the woods and Volnek followed them and slaughtered them all without mercy." "To the best of my knowledge, I am the only one to have survived." "Rest, brother." "Rest." "SG-22, establish defensive perimeter." "SG-3, stick close to me." "Colonel Reynolds." "Teal'c, what the hell happened here?" " Why haven't you checked in?" " The Eye of the Gods was damaged." "We're trapped here and so are you." "The Ori had a hand in what has transpired here." " The Ori?" " We have much to discuss." "Come." "Okay, if you're still there, I've given it some thought, and my guess is it should be a simple matter of reversing the process." "I'm on it." "Is that supposed to be reassuring?" "Where's Mitchell?" " Off-world with the extraction team." " What?" "He was convinced he could help Teal'c." "I couldn't talk him out of it." "Why doesn't that surprise me?" "There's no sense in worrying about that now." "On the bright side, the translation will go a lot quicker now that you're here." "Okay, this is interesting." "It appears to be a log of some kind." "Merlin was conducting research on some kind of new invention." "And it was something big." "He went to great lengths to try and hide it." "This device was invented to keep his research a secret." "He needed a way to conceal it from..." "Daniel?" "Merlin needed to conceal his research from?" "His fellow ascended beings." "But, if he was ascended, he must have retaken human form to perform his research." "I don't get it." "What invention could've been so important it led him to give up his ascension?" "A weapon." "A weapon capable of destroying ascended beings." "You hit him with two P-90s, and he didn't die?" "How's that possible?" "We have encountered something like this before an Ancient device capable of reanimating dead tissue." "Anubis used a similar technology to give life to warriors." "I'm assuming there's no cure." " The Volnek we knew is dead." " So how do we stop him, it, whatever." "By destroying the body entirely." " Claymores?" " Oh, that's what I'm talking about." "We plant them opposite each other and run a tripwire through the middle." "Then all we gotta do is lure him in." "Piece of cake." "While we're at it, maybe we can teach him how to speak Japanese." " I will do it." " What?" "Teal'c, the kill zone is gonna be huge." "Gonna have to be quick to get out of it." "Understood." "No, no." "Now that's just crazy." "Let's at least wait for reinforcements." "Waiting will put the lives of others at risk." "Volnek was clever enough to disable the Eye of the Gods." "The missing crystal is in his possession." "The only way we can return to Earth is to retrieve it and the only way that we can do that is by killing Volnek." "There is no other way." "Merlin believed that the Ori represented a threat to the safety of this galaxy, including the Ancients themselves who refused to take any action to protect themselves against them." "So he developed the weapon anyway?" "He found a way without their knowing by shifting his research to another dimension." "So the weapon:" "Did he ever complete it?" "See, this is all technical." "Way over my head." "I wish you understood Ancient." "These notes indicate he completed the weapon here and then had to relocate it to..." "I don't need to know Ancient to understand what that is." "A gate address to where he hid the weapon." "Claymores are ready." "You and your men establish a perimeter." "I will lead Volnek into the trap." "You sure you wanna do this?" "I am." "Okay." "I'm going to try to make an adjustment to the algorithm." "It's a bit of a long shot but if I can get this to sync up..." "Oh, no." "Hello, this is Dr. Lee." "I'd like to speak with General Landry, please." "Yeah, it's a bit of an emergency." "You know, there's a fine line between crazy-brave and crazy-crazy, my friend." "And you are walking it." "You realize he took out an entire Sodan village?" "You know, the last thing I need is for you to get yourself killed." "You realize how long it will take me to find a replacement?" "You worry far too much, Colonel Mitchell." "You can hear me now?" "And see you." " You're not surprised?" " What is it?" "What's going on?" "I'm not sure, but I may have accidentally drained a significant portion of the machine's power supply." "How significant?" "According to these readings, it could reach critical failure inside 15 minutes." "And what happens to Carter, Mitchell and Daniel?" "In all likelihood, we'll be permanently stranded." "We can see each other when you're cloaked." "That means if Volnek's cloaked, he'll see me." "I'll get his attention and lead him back to Reynolds." "I do not feel comfortable allowing you to shoulder the risk." "Ain't no risk." "I'm out of phase, remember?" "And you are certain you will not be injured?" "Absolutely." "Hey, take your best shot, if you don't..." "Good luck, Colonel Mitchell." " Did you even think twice about that?" " No, I did not." "Volnek!" "Hey, Volnek!" "Volnek!" "Where are you, homeboy?" "Come on out and show me some of those monster moves!" "Oh, there you are." "I was getting worried." "Sorry." "You gotta do better than that." "Come on, big fella!" "There you go." "Come on and get you some." " We're running out of time." " Okay, I think I've got it." "This looks like some master control screen." "Yeah, here it is." "It's a button combination." "If this works, what happens to Mitchell?" "I don't know." "It's possible there's still a subspace connection linking him to the device." "And if there isn't?" " Doctor." " Okay." "I'm gonna make an adjustment to the algorithm." "It's a long shot..." "You better be sure about this, because if I disappear there won't be a dimension safe enough for you." "Come on, don't give up!" "Come on!" "Oh, crap." "You did it." "No, actually, I didn't." "It was Daniel." "He figured it out." "Where's Colonel Mitchell?" "You know, the whole point of my coming here was for me to rescue you." "You are most welcome, Colonel Mitchell." "Let's see him get up from that one." "Unfortunately, we must now locate the crystal." "What, are you talking about this crystal?" "I took it off him during the fight." "You know, if we hurry we'll make it in time for dinner."
