What's going on? {3752}{3848}Senator Kinsey has taken|a great deal of interest in the programme. {3852}{3906}Thus far, he hasn't liked what he's seen. {3910}{3964}I'm sorry to hear that. {3968}{4032}As you should be, Colonel. {4036}{4094}It could mean the end of the Stargate. {4127}{4229}The hearing is at 1400 hours.|I look forward to seeing you all there. {5989}{6028}Yes, sir, I understand. {6032}{6080}We'll fight the good fight. {6143}{6202}General, politics isn't my strong suit... {6206}{6285}...but doesn't president outrank senator? {6289}{6401}Senator Kinsey is chairman|of the appropriations committee. {6405}{6513}He wants to know what's behind the line|item the Pentagon refers to as area 52. {6517}{6553}That would be the Stargate... {6557}{6721}An unofficial project that just happens|to cost $7.4 billion a year to operate. {6753}{6868}The President thought if he granted|the Senator the appropriate clearances... {6872}{6931}...let him in on the existence of the SGC... {6935}{7036}...he'd recognise its importance to|security and authorise the expenditure. {7040}{7076}I take it he didn't. {7080}{7127}The idea backfired. {7131}{7224}After reading your mission reports|and being briefed by Samuels... {7228}{7345}...the Senator decided the SGC will receive|no further funding from the Treasury. {7349}{7395}That effectively shuts us down, sir. {7399}{7527}Very effectively. Costs a billion dollars|just to turn the lights on around here. {7557}{7597}How about a bake sale? {7650}{7688}Yard sale?

Yes, sir. {9841}{9883}Colonel Jack O'Neill. {9887}{9963}Ah, Colonel. I've heard a lot about you. {9967}{10049}Don't believe a word of it, Senator.|I'm actually a nice guy. {10146}{10247}And this must be the drain|through which the money flows. {10251}{10341}I know you have|a very busy schedule, Senator. {10345}{10424}Yes, of course, General Hammond.|Please be seated. {10620}{10657}Let me see. {10661}{10699}Colonel O'Neill... {10738}{10777}...Captain Carter... {10809}{10862}...Dr Jackson... {10866}{10964}Teal'c, with an apostrophe, I understand. {10968}{11096}Let me first say that though illness|stopped me from serving in the military... {11099}{11157}...I have great respect for those who do. {11161}{11270}Especially those who have made|service of country their life's work... {11274}{11347}...as I have in my own way. {11380}{11505}- There is no more honourable vocation.|- Thank you.

Now, that's impossible. He's been|against this programme from day one. {13854}{13959}If anything, I voiced my awe|and amazement at what the Stargate is. {13963}{14033}A technological marvel. {14037}{14089}It is so much more than that, Senator. {14093}{14191}The Stargate represents a giant step|in our understanding of the universe. {14195}{14285}We have learned more about astrophysics|in these few months... {14289}{14345}...than in the last 50 years! {14349}{14447}It also gives us insights into cultures|that are thousands of years old. {14451}{14537}Dr Jackson, I'm sure as a scholar|of ancient mythology... {14541}{14605}...you are familiar with|the story of Pandora. {14609}{14670}From Greek mythology, of course. {14703}{14754}The first woman created by Zeus... {14758}{14827}...who gave her a box|and warned her never to open it. {14831}{14897}But she did, out of curiosity. {14901}{15029}Despite the warning of her god,|who was also her father, she did. {15032}{15153}And from it sprung all the plagues and evil|that exist now in this world. {15157}{15296}And, keeping in mind that this is a myth,|she closed it in time to keep hope inside. {15300}{15443}Then should we not close your gate for|the same reason-to keep hope inside? {15447}{15520}Senator, if I may jump in here... {15532}{15640}I'm not as slick as you guys|talking in metaphors here. {15644}{15700}I'm a military man. {15704}{15759}I prefer facts. {15763}{15899}And the fact is|the gate, ie "the box", is already open. {15903}{15967}Now, what's done is done. {15970}{16043}We made ourselves an enemy|by killing Ra... {16047}{16125}...but the threat the Goa'ulds represent...|- Threat? {16129}{16193}Yes, sir. As in "threatening". {16197}{16330}The word "threat", Colonel O'Neill, is|used too often by this country's military... {16334}{16430}...as a justification for expenditures|we can no longer afford. {16434}{16499}Do you know|how much this programme costs? {16597}{16631}Seven... ish. {16635}{16731}Seven billion,|four hundred and seven million dollars! {16735}{16794}- Give or take.|- Per year! {16798}{16917}With all due respect, the accounting|department is up on level 3, I believe. {16921}{17012}But if you want to talk about|maintaining the first line of defence... {17016}{17121}...against what I believe is|the greatest enemy humanity has faced... {17125}{17144}Hyperbole! {17148}{17191}See for yourself! {17195}{17310}General, I suggest we dial up|old P4A-771, I believe it was. {17314}{17376}See how long the Senator lasts|in that world! {17380}{17477}I have spent a career|listening to doomsayers in uniform. {17481}{17617}Let us build our billion-dollar machine to|save America from barbarians at the gate! {17621}{17700}Let me remind you|that the Cold War is over! {17704}{17838}Let me tell you something! This time there|are barbarians-they're called Goa'ulds. {17842}{17908}And they really are at the gate. That one! {17912}{17967}Then I suggest we close it. {17971}{18081}Senator, we believe the Goa'uld are about|to launch an attack, in force, in ships. {18146}{18246}Then I think they'll regret taking on|the United States military. {18250}{18298}Oh, for God's sake. {18302}{18415}Oh, you're right.

That's right. {41704}{41826}I ordered the mountain sealed off, but you|should order in an armoured division... {41830}{41897}...to set up a second line of defence. {41932}{42027}Well, my recommendation is anyone|attempting to leave the mountain... {42031}{42120}...should be shot on sight|and their body burned. {42124}{42164}(clanging) {42168}{42215}(keys jangling) {42311}{42433}Sorry, Colonel O'Neill, but your|private room just became semiprivate. {42437}{42589}We're running out of places to put victims.|We've used the brigs, the storage rooms... {42593}{42638}(sighs) {42642}{42742}- (rasping) Good luck, Doc...|- D'you say something? {42777}{42841}Give... more... {42859}{42905}What? Give more what? {42930}{42978}More... {43031}{43074}An injection? {43078}{43143}You mean you want more sedative? {43157}{43268}You've had twice as much as anyone else|because you've been more violent. {43272}{43308}- Give.|- No. {43312}{43403}- It's not safe.|- Give! {43433}{43453}Give. {43457}{43511}Why are you so insistent? {44289}{44370}Must have been in a lot of pain. {44491}{44550}(rasps) Doc! {44576}{44607}Colonel O'Neill? {44611}{44679}It's... {44769}{44845}...me. {44882}{44941}So you are still in there somewhere. {44945}{45082}A dream... a dream... a dream... {45086}{45171}I'm afraid not, Colonel. It's very real. {45227}{45336}This is interesting. Enough sedative|must knock back the primitive mind. {45340}{45449}Colonel, listen. I can't keep you|at this level for long. It is too dangerous. {45453}{45494}It could cause brain damage. {45498}{45577}What? Wh... {45609}{45692}- What is it?|- It's a parasitic virus. {45696}{45782}All we can tell is|that it messes with body chemicals. {45786}{45878}Testosterone levels skyrocket,|thus the aggressive behaviour. {45882}{45944}It's a histaminolytic -|it breaks down histamine. Wh... {45948}{46046}Experiment on me. {46050}{46089}Experiment on you? {46093}{46153}No, sir, I can't do that. {46199}{46248}Use me. {46403}{46495}We saved an entire race of people.|I'd call that a success, sir. {46499}{46584}But if you hadn't found a cure so readily... {46588}{46697}...if it had reached the population,|if the effects weren't reversible... {46769}{46936}Colonel O'Neill, you very nearly died on|another occasion when infected by, uh... {46940}{46973}Nanocytes, sir. {47076}{47134}Jack, Carter's coming back! {47231}{47279}Jack! {47815}{47871}Welcome back, Captain. {47875}{47958}So what did you find out? {47962}{48047}Come on, don't keep the elderly waiting.|It's rude. {48051}{48099}Um... {48158}{48203}It isn't a virus. {48207}{48254}All right, what is it? {48258}{48355}Dr Fraiser and I came up empty.|She's still working on it... {48359}{48448}...but it's gonna take time.|- Time is what these people don't have. {48491}{48572}- Nor do I.|- Colonel, there's something else. {48576}{48664}Your blood sample showed|more organisms than the Argosians. {48668}{48762}- How many more?|- On the level of 100 times more. {48766}{48809}And they are multiplying. {48813}{48861}Cut to it, Captain. {48865}{48961}At the rate you're changing... {48965}{49065}...by the end of two weeks|you'll be the equivalent of 100 years old. {49114}{49188}We've given the nanocytes|live tissue to interact with... {49192}{49281}...but they won't touch it.|All they do is make more of themselves. {49285}{49360}So how are they causing|the ageing on Argos? {49364}{49459}Maybe there's something on Argos|they need to make them do a task. {49463}{49513}Something in the air or the food. {49667}{49718}- Whoa!|- (alarm) {49747}{49823}- Is there a problem, Captain?|- I don't know. {49827}{49867}It's eating through the rubber. {49910}{49943}Oh, God. {49947}{50058}- What? What is it?|- They're trying to spread. {50174}{50288}(Carter) We're working with|computer and practical simulations. {50292}{50394}Realistically, sir,|I'm afraid it might take years. {50398}{50500}(Daniel) The general says|Gate travel to Argos is offlimits... {50504}{50552}...for the next few, uh, millennia. {50556}{50694}But we can send objects through,|so ifyou need anything, just call. {50754}{50805}(Daniel) Say something. {50819}{50967}(Teal'c) Colonel, I've learned very much|from you. Thank you. {50971}{51050}You know, goodbyes really suck. {51145}{51193}(rewinding) {51288}{51394}As I understand it, you almost|lost containment, Captain Carter. {51398}{51490}Yes. They tried to mutate in the lab... {51494}{51597}...but after that the general ordered|all samples of the nanocyte destroyed. {51601}{51669}- And next time?|- There won't be a next time. {51673}{51733}The nanocytes, the transmitter devices... {51737}{51826}...everything that tampered with|that world has been destroyed. {51830}{51908}In fact, SG-2 just made contact|with Kynthia's planet. {51912}{52036}They're living productive lives because|of us! I am proud of what we did there. {52040}{52082}I might even retire there. {52099}{52214}You have no fear of it, do you?|It's like a game to you. {52218}{52359}No, sir. Anything as powerful as|the Stargate deserves respect. {52363}{52476}We know how dangerous it is to do|what we do, but also how important it is. {52480}{52597}Colonel O'Neill, you're like reckless|children and you're playing with fire. {52601}{52674}If you shut down this programme now,|when it's needed... {52678}{52761}- For what?|- To gather technology, weapons. {52765}{52858}Not at this price|or this level of competence. {52862}{52922}My people are the best out there, Senator. {52926}{53042}I'm sorry, General,|but your best is not good enough. {53046}{53139}I do not approve of|nor support this endeavour. {53143}{53226}And I have heard nothing here today|that would change my mind. {53283}{53342}I intend to shut the Stargate down. {53581}{53687}- Senator, please listen to me.|- He's made up his mind, Dr Jackson. {53691}{53741}You want your reason, I'll give it to you. {53745}{53802}What if I knew that they were coming,|in ships? {53806}{53891}That a ship larger than the pyramids|will land on this mountain... {53895}{53971}...in a matter of weeks, maybe days?|- Then I would be curious to know... {53975}{54032}...why you've waited until now to say so. {54036}{54105}Because I didn't think|anyone would believe me. {54109}{54192}If I didn't live through it, I wouldn't have,|but it is a fact. {54196}{54316}If you shut this programme down,|we can't stop them before they get here. {54320}{54413}- Where did you learn this... information?|- On our last mission. {54417}{54520}We found a civilisation with technology|similar to ours. They had been wiped out. {54524}{54601}They left behind a warning.|"Beware the destroyers". {54605}{54691}Along with that came a set of numbers. {54695}{54799}Coordinates that show where the final|Goa'uld attack will be launched from. {54803}{54909}- Did all of you witness this warning?|- No, they didn't. Just me. {54973}{55029}Sir... (sighs) {55033}{55194}...we think Daniel had an interdimensional|transfer to an alternate reality. {55198}{55269}I beg your pardon? {55273}{55369}The moment I touched|an alien artefact on 233... {55373}{55480}...I was transported to an alternate reality|where Earth was under Goa'uld attack. {55484}{55531}I got this when I was there. {55570}{55642}My heaven, I've heard enough of this! {55646}{55755}The Goa'uld were bombarding our cities|from space. We were defenceless. {55759}{55829}Dr Jackson, I do not suffer fools gladly! {55833}{55913}Nor do l, Senator,|and when we killed Ra two years ago... {55917}{56033}...we started a chain of events that'll lead|to an attack on Earth by the Goa'ulds! {56037}{56093}If this is so, why have they waited? {56097}{56163}It would take time for Apophis|to assemble the forces. {56167}{56251}The society is feudal.|It would take time to build an army. {56292}{56388}All I know is the location|they will launch their final attack from. {56392}{56478}If you don't believe me,|let us go there and find out! {56482}{56574}How many ships, Dr Jackson?|Has anyone detected their approach? {56578}{56620}I can't be sure. {56624}{56705}- There were differences in that reality.|- Of course there were. {56709}{56795}- I am not crazy.|- Nor am l, Dr Jackson. {56799}{56932}Neither am I unused to 11th-hour pleas,|but never have I heard one so desperate. {56936}{57028}- Senator, they are coming.|- Then I say let them come! {57032}{57160}Where do you get this bureaucratic bull?|You're talking suicide. {57164}{57294}Colonel O'Neill,|you underestimate this great nation. {57298}{57372}You underestimate the enemy.|We have challenged Apophis. {57376}{57454}He will not rest until the people|of Earth worship him as their god. {57458}{57522}There is only one God, sir! {57525}{57663}I do not believe that he would allow what|you're trying to tell me to come to pass! {57667}{57755}We are, after all, one nation under God. {57759}{57921}And you think God is gonna save us? {57925}{58019}The Goa'uld believe they are gods.|Your beliefs won't dissuade them. {58023}{58069}If the Goa'uld do come... {58073}{58152}...we will be able to tell them|we have buried our gate for ever... {58156}{58205}...and will never step through it again. {58209}{58306}- If they challenge us, we shall prevail.|- You're a fool. {58310}{58406}And if they do not come, which|I think is infinitely more likely... {58410}{58565}...then at least Pandora's box will have|finally been closed once and for all. {58569}{58689}Now, if you will excuse me,|I have business to attend to. {58867}{58952}For what it's worth,|I'm sorry it had to end like this. {58956}{59017}Get out of here! {59198}{59237}General Hammond... {59249}{59300}...I would like to request permission... {59304}{59399}...to return through the Stargate|before it's permanently sealed. {59440}{59591}If this world does not intend to continue|its struggle against the Goa'uld... {59595}{59650}...then here I do not belong. {59679}{59737}I think I'm going with him. {59762}{59855}I can't allow that, Colonel.|I'm sorry, but you know that. {59859}{59971}The President made it clear if we were|unable to convince the Senator... {59975}{60048}...we would cease operations|effective immediately. {60052}{60111}Sir, there are still|two SG teams off world. {60115}{60214}We'll keep the light on till they return,|but that's all I can do. {60249}{60324}So... what? That's it? {60328}{60402}That's it, Colonel. {60406}{60429}It can't be. {60433}{60517}- With all due respect...|- The good Senator is an ass... {60521}{60608}He's an elected official|of the government we are sworn to serve. {60612}{60672}Whether we agree or not,|he's made his decision. {60676}{60804}Our commander in chief|has given us our orders accordingly. {60808}{60869}I expect you all to carry them out. {60873}{60914}(sighs) {61044}{61092}Dismissed. {61818}{61923}Visiontext Subtitles: Natasha Cohn
