This vessel does not have a pool.
I was talking about the gambling variety.
I do not wish to speculate.
Well, he said it was something important.
- You're not the least bit curious? - Indeed.
But I would not risk a wager.
Surprise!
It's not my birthday!
Hey!
We made a weird cat-piņata thingy.
I told you to bring something to amuse yourself.
I didn't mean me, or the crew.
But they won't believe that it's my birthday...
again.
Not my problem.
Being stuck on this ship is worse than being stuck at the SGC.
I... I... I tell you, the last time I was this bored, I took hostages.
I was there.
Major?
We're approaching the coordinates, Sir.
Drop us out.
We're being hailed.
The Asgard are requesting permission to beam aboard, Sir.
Granted.
Greetings,
and welcome to Orilla.
Thor!
Hello, Colonel Carter. It is good to see you.
Out of curiosity, how can you tell the difference?
- The voice. (y:i}- It's good to see you too, Thor.
This is General Landry, Colonel Mitchell and Vala.
Greetings.
So, Thor, how've you been? Haven't heard from you in a while.
I am sorry.
I have been otherwise occupied.
As mentioned in our communication,
the High Council wishes to meet with you,
to explain in greater detail,
but there is not much time.
General,
with your permission,
a number of Asgard are prepared to beam aboard, immediately,
to begin installing various technological upgrades to this ship.
I hope it's ray guns.
I got ray guns in the pool.
What is it you're planning on giving us?
Everything we have
and know.
By that, you mean...
Everything.
All our most current technology.
All our knowledge.
Sorry, we're
just a little stunned. I mean,
why are you doing this?
You've always resisted in the past. You always said we weren't ready.
Indeed.
Many Asgard still believe that.
So what's changed?
As a race, we are dying.
Very soon we will all...
be gone.

Season 10 Episode 20 Unending
The Asgard computer core is equipped with its own power source,
that will not infringe on your ship's ZPM.
However, when the upgrades are complete,
the core will be fully integrated into all the ship's systems.
There must be something more you can do.
I assure you,
we are providing you with all the latest Asgard technology,
as well as a knowledge base including our entire recorded history.
That's not what I was talking about.
Everything that can be done,
has been done.
The final attempt to solve our physiological degeneration,
has left each of us with a rapidly progressing disease.
It really wasn't an option for them.
They made the choice to extend their life through science, generations ago.
It took any natural physiological evolution, necessary for ascension, out of the equation.
They're planning on ending their lives, before the degeneration they're suffering from, goes too far.
Mass suicide?
They don't want any of their knowledge or technology, falling into the wrong hands.
And they wanted us to witness the event.
- So, everything they've installed on this ship... - Is going to be their legacy.
If you like,
you'll be able to interface with the core, using a holographic representation of me,
or any other Asgard on record in the knowledge base.
I'm sorry, but that just won't be the same.
I have been working on this for the better part of a year, Colonel Carter.
And we appreciate it, really!
Many on the Council, did not believe we should be imparting such advancements.
Well, I promise we will do our very best, not to let you down.
You are the fifth race.
Your role is clear.
If there is any hope in preserving the future,
it lies with you
and your people.
No pressure, huh?
You have earned my respect
and my friendship.
Well, the feeling's mutual.
Please do not be sad.
The end of my people has been a long time coming.
We have made too many irreversible mistakes in our development.
Hopefully, you can learn something from it.
My only regret,
is that our physical weakness has left us incapable of helping you further.
Sir. Three Ori Motherships just dropped out of hyperspace and are approaching the planet.
Colonel, this is the bridge. We have three contacts.
Ori Motherships, bearing down.
Sir, the hyperdrive is still offline. Diverting power to the shields.
You must go.
Sir, the Asgard just disembarked.
It'll take a few minutes to get the hyperdrive back online.
Full sublight. Get us clear of the planet.
Full sublight.
Shields are down to 83%.
How the hell did they find us?
- Some reason we're not jumping to hyperspace? - Carter's working on it.
Sir.
Sensors are detecting a massive build up of energy, coming from the planet.
Everyone hold on tight!
- Shields are down to 50%. - Colonel.
Sir, the hyperdrive is now online,
but we have to get clear of the radiation caused by the explosion,
- before we can make the jump safely. - How about the Asgard energy weapons?
They haven't been tested yet, Sir.
Shields are down to 28%.
At maximum sublight we're 47 seconds to get clear.
We're not gonna make it.
Let's see what these new Asgard upgrades are made of.
Come about.
Power the energy weapons!
Energy weapons are powered.
Fire!
Sensors indicate, enemy shields are fluctuating.
Keep firing!
I'll be damned!
We've got 'em.
Get us into hyperspace.
Yes, Sir.
Run another diagnostic...
Colonel, how's that report coming?
I wanna be able to brief the President, as soon as we get back.
He's gonna wanna know how quickly we can duplicate this new Asgard weaponry.
I'm working on it, Sir, but something else has come up.
The hyperdrive diagnostic is spitting out some data that's concerning me.
We took some damage, that's causing a problem?
I think we need to drop out and run a few tests, just to be sure.
Sir. Two contacts just appeared on sensors.
Motherships.
Ori. Closing fast.
Colonel, given we've already taken damage, I'd rather not take on two more ships!
Sir, the hyperdrive is back online.
- Get us back into hyperspace. - Yes, Sir.
It's a hell of a coincidence, don't you think?
Well, unless they were tracking us and just waiting for us to drop out.
I thought they couldn't track us in hyperspace.
Unless it was the Ori themselves, tipping off the Priors.
We've already passed back into the Milky Way. As far as we know,
the Ancients should have a problem with the Ori using their ascended powers,
- right under their noses. - As far as we know.
At least we now have weapons we know will destroy an Ori ship.
Well that's not gonna do us any good, if they can track us wherever we go.
I mean, eventually, the Odyssey's gonna come up against more than she can handle.
Is it possible, the Priors can detect the new technology,
given to us by the Asgard, without the help of the Ori?
I suppose the new power source could be giving off some sort of
unique energy signature that's detectable from subspace.
However, without further experimentation, the only way to find out
is to shut it off and see if that stops the Ori from following us.
Do it.
The problem with that, Sir, is that the new Asgard core,
is currently tied into every system on this ship.
We would have to drop out of hyperspace
and isolate the core from the hyperdrive controls and that could take some time.
Sir, two contacts just appeared on sensors.
Son of a bitch!
Shields are down to 53%!
Reports of damage, front and rear.
- Levels 2, 6 and 10. - Evasive maneuvers! Fire at will!
We already took out one ship, what's another two, right?
Colonel, I need the hyperdrive, now!
Go ahead, Sir, hyperdrive's online.
We're gonna need at least half an hour to get the hyperdrive system separated from the core.
We must assume the Ori ships will continue to engage us, whenever we stop.
Is there a planet with a Stargate, nearby?
Yes, Sir. P3X-474.
It's uninhabited. We should get there in just under an hour.
We might make it before the hyperdrive fails.
And what?
Beam to the surface and gate home.
- We can't let this ship fall into enemy hands. - That's what the self destruct is for.
Wait a minute, Sir.
If you're talking about destroying this ship...
we can't sacrifice the knowledge base of the Asgard.
They trusted us with their legacy.
Doctor Jackson, this is not something I'm considering, lightly.
I'm assuming we can't take any of it with us.
No, Sir. The core is too big to fit through the Gate.
Well, I for one am willing to stay and put up a fight! I think it's worth it.
Get us to 474.
We'll beam the crew down to the surface.
Hopefully there'll be enough time for them to gate home, before the Ori attack.
And then what?
I said it before, I am for fighting to the death, but we need a plan,
preferably one that avoids the 'to the death' part.
We have an hour to come up with one.
I think I may have a way of buying us a little more time.
Here they come!
Shields at maximum. Evasive maneuvers.
Concentrate fire on only one target. One at a time.
- OK, that was not good. - Shields are down to 23%!
We're hitting them with everything we've got!
Shields are offline!
One more hit will take us out!
Colonel Carter!
So, thanks to Asgard technology, we are in a time dilation bubble.
While time may appear to be passing at a normal rate for us,
in fact, years will pass inside the bubble,
while mere fractions of a second pass outside the field.
- You won't need that much time, though. (y:i}- Hopefully not.
My plan, is to try and make the necessary modifications to the Odyssey, so we can take it out of phase.
Then, when we shut down the time dilation field,
- the blast won't hit us. (y:i}- That would be good.
You're probably wondering why I just didn't do that in the first place.
I'm still back on the time thing.
The Asgard core has time dilation field technology, built right into it.
It was a quick and easy option.
I'm actually gonna have to recreate some of Merlin's out of phase technology from scratch,
with what we have onboard.
And it could take a while.
Just to be sure, how long is a while in our time?
I'm not exactly sure,
but we have enough food and water for three months.
Three months.
We can ration supplies.
I'm gonna go crazy.
And I'm taking you with me.
Of course,
if it takes a little longer...
Longer than three months.
Bottom line is, none of you are gonna have any excuse for being behind on your paperwork.
That function is not possible.
Do you think the Ori warriors could have found a way
to get through the time dilation field and over here, onto the ship?
No.
Cos I'm hearing things all the time.
- Are you hearing things? - I am trying not to.
Maybe they found a way to ring over,
but they can't figure out how to secretly shut off the time dilation field,
so they're trying to drive us crazy and make us shut it down ourselves.
No.
That wasn't a question.
No.
Before I tried to build Merlin's out of phase technology, I decided to run a simulation.
Are you saying it took two weeks to figure out this idea, wouldn't work?
I'm sorry. I've been trying to adjust the parameters. Now the problem is, according to Thor,
I can't seem to take this ship out of phase, before I shut down the field.
And once we deactivate the time dilation field, we have .86 seconds, before the blast hits us
and that just isn't enough time, to take the ship out of phase.
OK, time for plan B.
Actually, I ran that simulation, too.
If we beam ourselves into the buffer, ready to transport down to the planet
and set the time dilation field to deactivate on a timer,
the matter stream still doesn't have enough time
to fully exit the buffer and get clear of the explosion.
Fine, plan C, we go to the 302's. That's how I got off the Korolev.
Ran that, too.
Based on the way the Odyssey is gonna be hit, compared to the Korolev,
it won't work.
The computer's wrong.
Both of the last two scenarios, don't preserve the ship or the Asgard knowledge.
I know.
OK, it's only been a couple of weeks.
I have a problem with the word "only".
The good news is,
the Asgard have provided us with some truly amazing technology.
Just nothing to get us out of this mess!
I don't know that, yet.
However, with only a slight modification to the beaming technology,
we have a matter converter, that will literally allow us to manufacture food,
water, oxygen, pretty much anything we need.
Except a way off this ship!
You've made your point, son.
I doubt very much if Colonel Carter has even scratched the surface of what's possible.
Let's give her some more time.
I mean, all they wanted to do was live a little longer.
We're no different.
Sequenced DNA. Cure diseases.
And one...
fatal mistake and they doom their entire race.
I guess no matter what you do, at the end of the day...
life is too short.
I agree.
What are you doing?
Something we should have done a long time ago.
- Don't do that. - Why not?
We've been here three months, Daniel.
Three
months!
You do like girls...
Yes!
Well, I don't see many other options around here, do you?
Unless,
you really...
don't find me attractive.
Do you want an honest answer to that question?
No.
No seriously, you started this! Do you want
- an honest answer to the question? - No, don't worry about it.
Do you believe I could have any kind of serious feelings for you?
I wasn't suggesting you have serious
- feelings, Daniel. - Oh, what?
So what, we sleep together once, then what?
We work together!
You know, even saying that part out loud sounds unbelievable. I mean...
Come on! I can't even imagine what a relationship with you would be like!
I mean, yes, yes, you've proven yourself to be...
trustworthy, on a professional level and for that I am very proud of you, but on a personal level?
Vala, come on, give me a break!
I mean, at best, you're an emotional, unstable wreck!
I'm not saying I'm much better.
I'm not saying I'm much better! There was a time when I thought I would never
get over my wife.
I mean, the idea of...
being hurt that way, again.
But I've finally gotten to the place. I've finally, for the first time in a long time,
have gotten to the place where I actually feel I could get close to somebody again.
But not in a million years. A million, million years, would I ever possibly consider that person being you!
I mean we are so...
completely opposite and
wrong for each other, it's not even funny. And the worst part, the worst part about that is,
you know that!
And this whole
flirty sexual thing that you do, that's just your way of having a laugh at my expense.
So I'm so sorry if I'm not more appreciative of that and I'm so sorry that you're bored.
But don't you pretend it's anything else!
Don't act like you're hurt.
- Just give me a minute. - Hey.
Look at me.
You better not be messing with me.
General.
We need to take our chances with the F-302's.
What I need is a sunlamp.
This matter converted oxygen just isn't the same.
Now, why is the grand irony of this lost on everyone but me?
It's not.
Sir, at this point, we know it's the damn Asgard upgrade that allows the Ori to track us.
So even if we manage to save the ship, we won't be able to use the technology,
because the Ori will come down on us like a bag of hammers.
For now.
Oh, come on, Sir, it's like a bad joke!
We have stranded ourselves here, trying to save something we can't use!
I'm not having this conversation, again.
I want to help you.
The problem is,
that there is not enough time to shut off the dilation field and start a new process.
I know.
- I'm just thinking out loud here. (y:i}- I know.
What is that thing?
It's a cello.
I've always wanted to learn how to play.
Is it possible to use the time dilation technology to solve our problem?
- How? (y:i}- Well,
obviously it would...
Sorry.
Obviously it would be great if we could go back in time,
and not get into this situation in the first place.
Well, slowing down time within a localized field
is not even close to the same thing as reversing time altogether.
It's a good thought.
See, what we need, is we need Superman
to fly around the ship really, really fast.
If you only knew how ridiculous that was.
No, it only sounds ridiculous, 'til you hear yourself say
"I am trapped on a spaceship stuck in a time dilation field".
Someone told me long ago,
There's a calm before the storm, I know!
It's been comin' for sometime.
When it's over so they say,
It'll rain on a sunny day, I know!
Shining down like water!
I wanna know,
Have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know,
Have you ever seen the rain,
(y:i}Comin' down on a sunny day? - That function is not possible.
I hate this ship.
You're a pilot, you love flying.
In a fighter. This is not flying, this is literally standing still.
This is the Loveboat, without the buffet and the band.
Besides, I only liked flying so much, because I didn't know about the Stargate.
'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow, I know!
It can't stop, I wonder.
I want to know,
Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know,
Have you ever seen the rain,
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yeah!
I want to know,
(y:i}Have you ever seen the rain? - That function is not possible.
I want to know,
Have you ever seen the rain,
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Twenty years today.
Still think life is too short?
Hey.
Why do you do it?
Knowing everything you learn is gonna die with you.
I know you guys all think I'm crazy, but
the truth is, if I stop,
I'll go crazy.
Besides, you haven't given up.
Yes I have.
Stop it.
- I can't. I'm sorry. - It wasn't your fault.
We all would have died long ago,
if you hadn't done what you did.
Don't give up.
When I said that I wanted to
get the team back together. Work with you guys. Learn from you.
I did not mean every waking moment for the next 50 years.
You said that yesterday.
I did?
And the day before.
And the day before that.
Sorry.
I'll just...
shut up now.
No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything.
I did it.
You did what?
I figured out how to reverse time in a localized field.
What?
What's the matter?
Maintaining the time dilation field, for all this time, has almost completely depleted the ZPM.
And the power source in the Asgard core.
We don't have enough power to make it work.
That's irony for you, huh?
I create the field to buy us more time.
I finally figure out how to undo it all and that extra time is what makes it impossible.
Are you sure?
I mean, if you had some more time, could you...
I'm sure.
Hey, Sam.
Do you remember when we were stuck out of phase?
Which time?
When you got shot and you thought you were gonna die, and the Ori were gonna destroy that village.
Vaguely.
You had me use the power source from an Ori staff weapon to power Merlin's device.
We don't have anything even close to a power source
that would be required to keep a reverse timefield working for long enough.
Really.
Come with me.
What about that?
That...
There's no way we...
There's no way to absorb the blast and channel the energy into the Asgard core.
Unless...
Unless we reroute the power conduits throughout the ship,
into the core, and
let the blast hit us.
This ship will explode.
Yes.
But hopefully,
enough energy from the blast will be channeled into the core,
to allow it to activate the reverse time field before everything is totally destroyed.
But we'll all be dead.
If this works, we'll only be dead for a few milliseconds,
and time within the bubble will reverse and
we won't be dead and the ship won't be destroyed.
If this works.
Yes.
I'm not promising anything.
It's alright. It's a shot.
And I say we take it.
How far back can we go?
Only to the point where the time dilation field was created.
We can't reverse time for the entire universe.
If we go back any further than that,
we are outside of normal time space again, and we create a paradox
that the technology couldn't handle.
Is that gonna be good enough?
I might be able to buy us a little more time.
Maybe a minute,
but...
one of us is gonna have to stay old.
We're talking about reversing time within the field.
Everything.
Our age,
our memories,
will be undone.
If this works, we'll be doomed to repeat history.
Unless we can exclude someone from the field, who can steer events in another direction.
You created the time dilation field,
to prevent us from being hit by that blast, in the first place.
- You had no choice. (y:i}- Right!
We have to sever the Asgard core, from the hyperdrive controls,
or else the Ori will be able to follow us when we make the jump into hyperspace.
A long time ago,
in the event that I ever did solve the time issue, I created a program
that would achieve that very quickly.
I'll load it onto a crystal.
That way, it will only take me a few seconds to
shut down the core and make the jump into hyperspace.
Who says it's gonna be you?
Well, it makes sense that it'd be me.
I will do it.
- Teal'c, you've lost as many years as the rest of us. (y:i}- What are you, hundred and thirty now?
I don't know, he doesn't look a day over one-twenty to me.
I have many more years to live,
and I am the only logical choice.
Teal'c.
I have but one question.
If this should not work...
Then the shields will fail
and you will die along with the rest of us.
Then it is settled.
I want you to know,
even if you are gonna forget,
that I wasn't with you all these years, because we were trapped on this...
god-awful ship.
- I was with you because... - I know.
And I want you to know
- that I... - I know.
I know.
I'm ready.
Do it, Sam.
- Shields are offline! - One more hit will take us out!
Colonel Carter!
Teal'c, what are you doing?
Oh, come on, it's driving me insane!
You know
technically,
there would be no danger of creating a time paradox, because we've already changed future events.
You would not be altering the future,
by telling us about something that's not going to happen anymore!
Then why do you care?
Fifty or sixty years?
Something interesting must have happened.
Obviously I hooked up with someone
Was it you, Muscles?
It can't have been Mitchell, can it?
General Landry?
Dial it up, Walter!
Yes, Sir.
Chevron one encoded.
That is how we're supposed to travel light years across the galaxy, to other planets.
Chevron two encoded.
You know, I like to think that I handled myself well, but
I imagine I went a bit crazy, cooped up on that ship for so long.
Chevron three encoded.
You know, Teal'c did tell me some things I learned from the Asgard knowledge base.
He did?
Like what?
Oh boy, what were they?
Chevron four encoded.
Beggars can't be choosers.
Better late than never.
Look before you leap.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
