"Cassandra, what are you doing?" "It helps to do this." "Hok'Taur is actually a hybrid of two Goa'uld words." ""Hok" which means advanced, and "Taur", which, I believe, is a sort of slang..." " For?" " Human." "So essentially, it's advanced human: "Hok Tauri"." "Such an advanced human will represent a powerful host for the Goa'uld." "Which explains why Nirrti was performing the experiments." "Those few thousand years on another world have changed you more than you know..." "I could make you more powerful than you could imagine." "The powers you've seen in Wodan and the others - only a fraction of what I could give you." "I must apologize, Colonel." "This is a meager feast to offer visitors from another world." "No need to apologize." "It ap-- (he swallows) --pears delicious." "We are a poor people." "We are forced to spend most of our time in the mines." " For the greater glory of Baal." " Of course." "That's interesting." "Because, according to our information, Baal abandoned this place a hundred years ago ...when the Naqadah mines ran dry." "The Naqadah is scarce and difficult to extract, but there are still deposits." "Are you feeling unwell, Jonas Quinn?" "I'm fine, just ... uh ... it's hot." "It is true we have not seen Lord Baal in many generations, but we continue to pay him tribute through his emissary, Lord Mot." "You expecting this guy anytime soon?" "He will arrive in twelve days, at the rising of the full moon." "Stop talking like an old fool." "It'd be madness to defy Lord Mot!" "With each passing year, the mining grows more difficult." "Soon it may be impossible to meet Lord Mot's demands." "But we have no choice." "They are gods, after all." "Are they not?" "Well, they have great power, that's all we need to know." " That is true, however..." " Elori!" "However... what?" "We have an ancient prophecy, that one day strangers would come through the Chappa'ai... ..to slay the gods, and free our people." "Now, you have arrived." "And you also carry weapons of great power." "Stop talking like an old fool." "It'd be madness to defy Lord Mot!" "Jonas?" "I need some air..." "Jonas!" "PROPHECY" "Preliminary tests seem to indicate that Jonas is in perfect health." "But given his history with Naquadria research I thought it would be prudent to do an MRI." "Now, it shows an area of unusual brain activity right about here." " Any explanation?" " No, sir." "In fact I don't even know if this has anything to do with what happened on the planet." "I had a dizzy spell!" "It was probably the food." "Maybe, but I don't want to take any chances." " I've scheduled a series of follow-up exams." " Very well." "According to Tok'Ra intelligence, not only did Baal abandon P4S-237 over a hundred years ago,... ..but to the best of their knowledge he no longer receives any Naquadah shipments from the planet." "So where is it going?" "Well, perhaps this Lord Mot is keeping it for himself?" "What do we know about him?" "He was the, uh..." "Canaanite god of death." "According to mythology, he was defeated by Baal and then forced to live in the underworld." "In all likelihood, there was a power struggle." "Baal defeated Mot and forced him into servitude." "Maybe he... doesn't wanna serve anymore..." "If he is stockpiling Naquadah without Baal's knowledge, he may well be planning to move against him." "Sir, if we're right about this and Baal no longer has any knowledge of what's happening on the planet, it's possible we could free these people." "If the system lords think this planet's worthless, then we wouldn't have to worry about someone coming in to take his place." "Did they ask for our help?" "Not exactly." "I think they were afraid to come out and ask directly, but they did hint that they no longer believed the Goa'uld were gods." "What do you think, Colonel?" "I think we're going to need a lot more intel." "Hey, you wanna get some lunch?" "It's Mexican today." "According to Elori, Mot isn't due to return for another twelve days." " That gives us plenty of time." " I'll contact the Pentagon." "Hey, you wanna get some lunch?" "It's Mexican today." " What?" " I knew you were gonna say that..." "What are you talking about?" "Before, when we were in the briefing room, I had a ..." "I don't know... it was like a vision ..." "I was standing here, holding this notebook ... you came in and said what you said." "When you think you're re-living a moment, it's called a déja vu." "It's normal." "It..." "It's said to be caused by a split-second delay in sense perception." "No, this was different." "It was the same on the planet, I ... saw something and it happened." " When?" " Just before I passed out." "I didn't say anything 'cause I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now it's happened twice." "Sir?" "We just completed a second MRI." "There's still nothing to suggest that Jonas's previous exposure to Naquadria has anything to do with this." "According to Major Carter, he claims to be having visions." "H-hm." "He's also beginning to suffer from headaches." "I know the symptoms appear to be similar to what happened to these scientists on Kelowna,... ..but there are no indications of schizophrenia." "There is, however, a small spot on this MRI that has me worried." " You know what it is?" " I'm not sure." " But it could be a tumor." " Is this what caused him to pass out?" "It's possible." "Sir, I ... think it would be best if you took Jonas off of active duty." " This is ridiculous." " Fraiser's just covering all the bases." "Ahhh... something else has to be going on here." "Whatever she saw in that MRI has to have something to do with these visions I'm having." "I mean ... can't be just coincidence." "What?" "You guys didn't believe me when I saw those alien creatures." "They turned out to be real." "So... you're seeing things before they happen?" "That's right." "Like ... what's for lunch?" "No, I can't control it, they're just ... flashes." "We have encountered many strange Phenomena, Jonas Quinn, but ... ..we have yet to meet anyone that can see the future." "It ... goes against all the laws of physics as we understand it." "Have you had any more?" "Jonas?" "The Tok'ra are coming." "Unscheduled off-world activation." "Her Pierce is Sina." "SG-1, this is Sina, of the Tok'ra." "We have further information about the System Lord Baal." " Is there a problem?" " No, Sir." "Please." "Baal has suffered a recent military defeat at the hands of Lord Yu." "Anubis is said to be very disappointed." "It's hard to believe that Yu hasn't been destroyed yet." "Given that he is the only System Lord still in opposition to Anubis, his persistence is remarkable." "You go, Yu!" "Baal's recent campaign was meant to be a final crushing blow." "but he allowed Yu to escape his grasp and suffered heavy losses in the process." "So, he screwed up and his boss is pissed at him now, eh?" "If I understand you correctly, yes." "That would be a fair assessment." "Clearly, Baal is in a vulnerable position." "This may be an ideal time for Mot to move against him." "If he moves up to the rank of System Lord, he won't have to keep his operation on 237 secret anymore." "He could garrison the planet." "So, if we're gonna help them, we'd better do it soon." "Another headache?" "Yeah." "Jonas, none of us had ever met that Tok'ra before." " There's no way you could have known her Pierce." " I can't explain it." "General Hammond said her Pierce, and then a few minutes later it happened." "Teal'c said that you've never encountered aliens with precognitive abilities, right?" "Yeah, we haven't." "But we have come across other psychic powers." " On P3X-367." " Wodan was telekinetic, Eggar was telepathic." "Then there was Cassandra." " You think that Nirrti has something to do with this." " It's very possible." "She had me in that gene spicing machine for over an hour." "What if she did something to me?" "It's hard to say without a biopsy, but all of my tests seem to indicate that the tumor is not made up of cancer cells." " Then what is it?" " I'm not sure." "But I do know that it's grown by over 50 per cent since the last test." "I've never seen anything like it." " What can we do?" " I recommend immediate surgery." "If we don't get it out of him soon, the intra-cranial pressure is going to kill him." "I've called in a neuro-surgeon." "Her Pierce is Sandy van Densen." "She's the best there is." "I'm not completely convinced that surgery is the right way to deal with this." " Jonas, it's going to kill you." " You don't know that." "We don't even know what it is!" "Jonas and I have been discussing the possibility that this has something to do with Nirrti." "That it's another step towards the creation of Hok'tar." "So you think this is the result of genetic manipulation?" "onas thinks the new tissue in his brain is somehow giving him pre-cognitive abilities." "Well, for all I know you may be right." "But that doesn't change the fact that if this tumor continues to grow at its current rate, it is still going to kill you." "It may stabilize." "Nirrti never did anything to anyone that didn't turn out badly." "Colonel, you of all people should realize what an advantage this could be." "Imagine if we could know in advance when and where the next Goa'uld attack would come from." " You have yet to provide such valuable information." " All I'm saying is just give me some more time." "At least ... 48 hours." "Make it 24, and you remain on-base for observation." " What about the mission?" " You're going to sit this one out." "Colonel, I want you to take the rest of SG-1 and SG-15 back to the planet for a full tactical assessment." "If there's a real chance we can free these people from the Goa'uld, I wanna know about it." "Yes, Sir." "Dismissed." "Blood pressure's a little high." " How are the headaches?" " Not good." "Jonas, why are you doing this?" "Even limited precognitive abilities would be invaluable to our work." "Hm." "You still think you have to keep proving yourself, don't you?" "You know, you might want to consider the possibility that you're valuable enough already." " Let's run another EEG." " Yes, Doctor." "Jonas?" " How's she doing?" " Respirations are shallow." "Pulse is weak." "Sam, can you hear me?" "Sam?" " I've lost the pulse." " She's in V-fib!" " Anything?" " Nothing." " Charge to 200." " Charging." "Clear!" "Jonas!" "Colonel!" "Colonel!" " You have to scrub the mission." " Why?" "Major Carter gets hurt, I saw it." "Colonel O'Neill, what the hell is going on down there?" "It was a medical emergency." "Major Carter was being rushed to the infirmary with what appeared to be a staff blast wound." "According to the villagers, we will not encounter any Jaffa for many days." "Well, maybe they're wrong, or maybe they lied, we can't know for sure." "Well that's just it, Jonas, there's no way we can know." "Maybe it's not even supposed to happen on this mission, it could be weeks from now." "I don't think I can see that far ahead." "The point is we can't start second-guessing every decision." "It's a calculated risk every time we step through that gate." "I agree Major." "However, until I have a better understanding of what's going on, I'd prefer to err on the side of caution." " Was ... anybody else hurt on this ... thing?" " I only saw Major Carter." "Well, then she can sit this one out ... just ... to be on the safe side." "Agreed." "But Colonel, be careful." "Yes, Sir." " Major Pierce, report!" " We swept the whole building, Sir." "There's no sign of any Jaffa activity." "As I said, Lord Mot will not arrive for many days." "All right, stay sharp." "O'Neill out." "Have you decided to help us?" " Are you sure this is what you want?" " It is as the prophecy foretold." "No, screw the prophecy!" "I need to know your people are willing to follow through on this." "Last winter, there was a terrible sickness in the village." "Many could not work." "When Lord Mot arrived and there was not enough Naquadah, we tried to explain." "We begged his forgiveness, but he would not listen." "He took ten of the sickest, including my daughter's husband, and executed them in front of the whole village." "We would do anything to be free of this burden." "We have a medical emergency on level 25." "We have a medical emergency on level 25." " What happened?" " Ah, we were doing an overhaul of the 'gate generators and there was a power spike." "The capacitor blew." " Anybody else hurt?" " Major Carter." " How's she doing?" " Respirations are shallow." "Pulse is weak." "Sam, can you hear me?" "Sam?" " I've lost the pulse." " She's in V-fib!" " Anything?" " Nothing." " Charge to 200." " Charging." "Clear!" " What've we got?" " Pulse is back." " Regular sinus." " OK." "Let's get them both into the infirmary." "Let's move." "Thanks." " How you feeling?" " Slightly overcooked." "Janet says I'll be fine." " Sam, I'm sorry." " For what?" "If I had just kept my mouth shut, you would have gone on the mission." "None of this would have happened." " Jonas..." " I envisioned it exactly the way it happened, but I didn't understand it." "I misinterpreted the vision." "I won't make that same mistake again." " Don't do this to yourself." " I've been thinking about this a lot." "Now, I've always been hyper-observant." "I see details that other people miss." "I see patterns." "Maybe predicting the future is just an extension of that ability." "It doesn't work that way." "According to Newtonian physics, yes." "If you could know the position and velocity of every particle in the universe at any given moment, you could accurately predict all of their interactions for the rest of time." "So then, the future is predetermined." "It's just a matter of having enough information to figure it out." "Yes, but quantum mechanics blows that out of the water." "According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, it is impossible to look at a sub-atomic particle and know both where it is and where it's going at the same time." "The more accurately you fix its position, the more uncertain you make its velocity and vice versa." "The best we can do is calculate probabilities." "OK, so then, I'm seeing probable futures." "Maybe." "Every vision I've had has turned out exactly the way I saw it." "That doesn't mean they always will, Jonas." "Does Mot usually arrive through the Stargate?" "No, he usually arrives by ship." " Where does he land?" " Here." " How many Jaffa?" " Eight...maybe ten." "Clearly, he is not anticipating resistance." "Colonel, we can do this." "There's plenty of cover here and here." "They'd never know what hit 'em." " All right, we'll do a sweep of the area tomorrow." " I will show you." "Old fool." "Chazen..." "These outsiders have led you astray, but I've taken care of everything." "What'd you do?" " A scout ship." " Lord Mot is coming." "Jonas, we need to go over these test results." "Jonas?" "!" "This is Fraiser." "I need a medical team to level 18, L7." "You know..." "Every time I wake up in a Goa'uld cell, I can't help the thought that something bad is going to happen." "You are the Tau'ri of Stargate Command." "And you are Lord Mot, come to punish us for our insolence, et cetera, yadda, et al." "That is correct." "Yeah." "Well, Mr. Mot, we're onto you." "We know what you've got planned and we've informed the Tok'ra." "If we don't report back on schedule they're gonna rat you out." "They're gonna tell your boss." "They'll snitch on ya." "You intend to send a warning to Baal." "I think that's what I said, isn't it?" "I said that." "I think this is unlikely." "You would not be here if you did not wish to protect the people of this planet." "If Baal discovers the mines are still active, he will return." "There will be no message." "Baal is in the service of Anubis." "If you kill him, you will have to answer for it." " You may be of some assistance in that regard." " I...don't...think so." "It is well known among the system lords that an iris protects your 'gate." "Obviously, you must transmit some kind of code before you return to your planet." "I suspect you use one of these..." "You will tell me the code and I will use it to destroy Stargate Command." "Anubis will congratulate me on my initiative." "We will tell you nothing." "Not at first." "But eventually." "However, for the moment, I must deal with these villagers." "I cannot let their treachery go unpunished." " They had nothing to do with this." " My spy tells me otherwise." "Of course, I could be convinced to spare them some discomfort..." "Very well, then." "I'll leave you to think about it." "What am I doing here?" "You had a seizure." "We can't wait any longer, Jonas." "If this tumor gets much bigger, we may not be able to remove it safely." " Wait..." " What is it?" "Sir, we're receiving an I.D.C. It's SG-15." " Open the iris." " Yes, sir." "SG-15, this is Hammond." "Come in." "Repeat, this is General Hammond, please respond." "I need to talk to General Hammond." "Now!" "By the time you closed the iris, it was too late." "They set off some kind of...bomb that destroyed the entire 'gate room, maybe even the whole mountain." " You sure it was SG-15's iris code?" " Positive." " Sir, we have to warn them." " Yeah, but maybe sending a message is what causes this to happen." "Like when you tried to warn Major Carter about her injury." " Yeah." " Jonas, we've been over this." "The future isn't predetermined." "Now in the absence of any other information, the best we can do is follow normal procedure." "Yeah, but if I didn't have this vision, we wouldn't be having this conversation." "We're already beyond normal procedure." " What do you suggest?" " We need more information." "We need to know how the Jaffa get the iris code." "Maybe I can find that out." "I thought you said you couldn't control the visions." "I haven't been trying hard enough." "No." "Jonas, if we don't get you into surgery right now, you could die." "I need just a little more time." "Excuse me, miss." "How about sending a little of that our way or not." " Wow, what'd you put in that?" " Kelmina root." "They will sleep for many hours." "I was able to retrieve this." "Chazen has the rest of your belonging." "I dared not take more." " Where's your father?" " He is being held in the village." "Lord Mot intends to make an example of him." "All right, we can help him, but we have to get to the 'gate to get some reinforcements here." "I understand." " How do we get out?" " This way." "Boys..." "You think that'll help?" "It works for Teal'c." " Jonas?" " I'm OK." "We're good to go." "Teal'c!" "Jonas?" "I need to get to the control room." "What?" "Jonas!" "I need some help in here!" "Get him on the bed." "We gotta get him into surgery." "Grab the gurney." "Easy." "Jonas?" "Jonas..." "Jonas, can you hear me?" "This path will take you to the Chappa'ai." "Colonel, I fear Mot will execute my father." "There is not much time." "Just stay out of sight until we get back." "Not yet..." " What happened?" " We can't wait any longer." "Sam, Sam..." "I saw it." "I know what's gonna happen." "Sir, they're walking into an ambush." "According to Jonas, the Jaffa will be waiting for them at the 'gate." "We have to warn them." " Dial P4S-237." " Yes, Sir." "We're ready, doctor." "It's okay, just relax." " What's happening?" " It's okay, Jonas." " What's goin' on?" " It's okay." "Get the Lorazepam." "It's OK, Jonas, it's not your problem any more." "Colonel O'Neill...this is Hammond, please respond." "Major Pierce?" "Do you read me?" "Jonas believes there may be a Jaffa presence awaiting your arrival at the Stargate." "Exercise extreme caution when approaching the 'gate." "I repeat, exercise extreme caution when approaching the 'gate." "Jonas believes you may be walking into an ambush." "Do you copy?" "Sendear..." " Check on the prisoners." " Yes, Sir." "Colonel O'Neill, do you copy?" "Major Pierce, do you read me?" " They could be out of range, sir." " Or maybe they received the message, but they can't respond." "What about the MALP?" "We're not receiving anything, sir." "Sir, SG-3 is prepped and ready to go..." "I just can't risk it, Major." "I could be sending them into an ambush." "We're just going to have to hope Colonel O'Neill gets the message." "The prisoners have escaped." "Sound the alarm." "Pierce..." " Who gave the order to sound the alarm?" " I did." "The prisoners have escaped." "Idiot." "I allowed that foolish girl to help them." "My Jaffa are waiting at the 'gate." "Oh, I could not have known." "Y-you must forgive me." "You are mistaken." "Scissors." "There it is." "Looks like an astrocytoma." " Isn't that unusual?" " Given that the tissue isn't malignant, yes." "We didn't see any evidence of it on the MRI." "This must be a recent formation." "We've got reticular infiltrates." "This could get a little tricky." "Blood pressure's dropping." "Heart rate is 120 and climbing." " He's hemorrhaging." " I need more suction." "I don't see it." "Blood pressure's 80 on 60." "Heart rate's 160." "We've gotta find the bleeder." "He's pre-arrest." "Run a liter of saline and have dopamine standing by." "Get a unit of O-neg." "Pressure's 60 on 40." "Doctor, we're losing him." "Hold on." "I see it." "Retract this flap." "I think I've got it." "Pressure's coming up." "Heart rate's stabilizing." "OK, let's get this thing out of him." "Move, move!" "Still no signal, sir." "Sir, we're receiving an IDC." "It's SG-15." "SG-15...this is Hammond." "Come in." "Repeat, this is General Hammond, please respond." "Sir, if we don't open the iris and it really is Colonel O'Neill, Teal'c and SG-15, then the second they step through that puddle, they'll be killed." "I'm aware of that." " Open the iris." " Yes, Sir." "We've got a wounded man here." " General, request permission to return to the planet with SGs 3 and 10." " We have some unfinished business." " Permission granted." " Expecting someone else, sir?" " We'll explain later." "Hey!" "I thought you were supposed to be resting that brain." "How you doing?" "I'm a little sick of staring at these walls all the time, but other than that, I'm fine." "Dr. Fraiser thinks they got it all out." "I read the post-op analysis." "It said the tumor was similar to ordinary human brain tissue, but that the neurons were five times more densely packed." "Well, Nirrti definitely had to have had something to do with this." "I mean, this kind of thing just doesn't happen naturally." "Are you still having visions, Jonas Quinn?" "Not since the surgery, no." "So...no..." " ..." "lottery numbers?" " 'Fraid not." "No trip to Vegas, just you and me?" "Ah...so how's it going on 237?" "They are planning a large celebration in our honor." "They want to thank us for helping them get rid of Mot." " We're bringing the food this time." " That's a good idea." "All right." "Visiting hours are over." "Jonas, you need your rest." "No..." "Well...get well soon." "We need you out there." "Yes, Sir." "Is he feeling all right?" "I knew he'd warm up to you eventually." "You know, it is interesting." "We changed the way things played out, which would seem to indicate that the future isn't predetermined." "But by doing so, we fulfilled an ancient prophecy." "A thousand years ago, someone in that village predicted that this would happen." "How do you explain that?" " Maybe it was just a lucky guess." " Yeah."
