{317}{387}(O'Neill) So, Laira,|when's the big show start?
{396}{454}Soon. Be patient.
{458}{537}Oh, I'm patient... I'm nothing if not patient.
{541}{602}- When's it start?|- Is he always like this?
{606}{689}- Quite frequently.|- Thank you, Teal'c.
{710}{791}Laira, we haven't seen any|fire rain these past few nights.
{795}{887}- How come it's gonna fall tonight?|- It begins this night each year.
{891}{987}Whoa... The same night every year?|That doesn't make sense.
{991}{1089}Unless the planet's orbit travels through|an asteroid belt, in which case...
{1093}{1173}Please! Don't suck the fun out of this.
{1196}{1255}- Sorry, sir.|- When I was a child,...
{1259}{1360}..my father told me that the fire rain|was the tears of our ancestors,...
{1364}{1434}..longing to be reunited.
{1514}{1639}A falling star. That's, uh... that's what|we call fire rain where we come from.
{1643}{1740}In our culture,|you're supposed to make a wish.
{1758}{1866}- On Chulak we call it "tal pak ryd".|- Which means, uh...
{1870}{1921}..falling star.
{1949}{2013}What do you think, Jack?|Was it worth the effort?
{2016}{2119}Oh, yeah...|Yeah, I'm a huge fan of fireworks.
{2123}{2171}(roaring)
{2318}{2366}Whoa!
{2498}{2584}Carter... How close was that?
{2603}{2658}- Close, sir.|- How big?
{2667}{2721}- Big.|- Thought so.
{2725}{2816}I was... rather concerned|for a minute there, sir.
{2855}{2939}- I don't understand.|- Laira, that's what we call a near miss.
{2943}{3024}If that had struck instead of|bouncing off of the atmosphere...
{3028}{3099}- This is an annual event?|- Yes.
{3103}{3187}Though it grows|more spectacular every year.
{3191}{3260}By tomorrow evening the entire sky w...
{3359}{3421}What's wrong?
{3434}{3501}I'll make some more|observations tonight, sir.
{3505}{3591}I'm gonna check the, uh...|geological record in the morning.
{3595}{3688}I'll... make a wish.
{5984}{6055}See this bright dot?|It represents your world, Edora.
{6059}{6126}It orbits your sun in a big circle like this...
{6130}{6228}..and crosses through an asteroid belt|up here at its widest point.
{6232}{6332}As you pass through the particles, some|of them burn up in Edora's atmosphere.
{6336}{6378}- As fire rain.|- Exactly.
{6382}{6446}The problem is,|the asteroid belt isn't uniform.
{6450}{6562}So certain orbits in certain years|must pass through a denser debris field.
{6566}{6623}Ever remember fire rain|striking the ground?
{6627}{6755}Not in my lifetime. Nor in my father's.|But there is a tale of the ancestors.
{6758}{6849}That on the second day of the fire rain|there was a distant thunder,...
{6853}{6946}..and the horizon burned|as though the sun never set.
{6950}{7024}- How long ago was that?|- Many, many years ago.
{7062}{7180}Mornin', campers. Who's goin' on|Daniel's little geology field trip?
{7188}{7236}Garan!
{7334}{7379}He can show you the way to the caves.
{7383}{7459}He and a young girl go there from|time to time. I don't know why(!)
{7463}{7511}(Garan) Mother!
{7536}{7584}(Laira) Fair day, and be well.
{7664}{7799}Sir, I'd like to go back to Earth and input|the data I collected into the mainframe.
{7803}{7861}Go ahead.
{7865}{7913}- Fair day, Laira.|- Fair day.
{8000}{8081}I'm sure you want to discuss the treaty.
{8102}{8172}Between our two worlds.
{8176}{8255}Sure... We could do that.
{8334}{8481}The decay rate differential between the|layers of naqahdah is about 1 50 years...
{8485}{8549}- What's naqahdah?|- A mineral substance.
{8575}{8642}You see, the further down|these striations we go,...
{8646}{8727}..the further back|into Edora's past we travel.
{8731}{8774}These layers are different.
{8778}{8875}They represent naqahdah dusts|thrown up by impact events.
{8879}{8927}Cool.
{8965}{9038}Uh... J-Jack says that.
{9062}{9118}Yes, he does.
{9122}{9227}I'm not really sure|that, uh, "cool" applies to this.
{9231}{9363}You see, something like this happened|on my world and nearly wiped out all life.
{9367}{9465}- That's what's gonna happen here?|- We only know it has happened...
{9469}{9549}..in varying degrees of destruction|every 1 50 years or so.
{9553}{9670}And it appears that is precisely|the amount of time since the last impact.
{9715}{9812}I see no reason to withhold the truth|from these people, Daniel Jackson.
{9816}{9880}Is there anything we can do to stop it?
{9883}{9931}No.
{10069}{10172}According to the observations I made,|the near miss was just the first...
{10176}{10315}..of hundreds of car-size asteroids|directly in the path of Edora, P5C-768.
{10319}{10413}- The night sky is full of them.|- We can't evacuate an entire planet.
{10417}{10465}These are the only descendants...
{10469}{10563}..of a people brought to Edora|by the Goa'uld thousands of years ago.
{10567}{10634}There may only be|a small number of strikes locally.
{10638}{10709}If that's the case,|we can send them home in a few days.
{10713}{10814}If not, we'd be saving|the last of a people, sir.
{11203}{11251}Paynan. This is Jack.
{11337}{11401}They say|you've come through the stone ring.
{11405}{11478}Hard thing to ask a man to believe.
{11491}{11539}I know what you mean.
{11583}{11637}Any luck?
{11695}{11764}There is nothing more|than meets the eye here.
{11768}{11852}Our fields,|those few buildings... Our children.
{11856}{11929}What we have, we need.
{11933}{12006}We're only interested in fair trades.
{12308}{12383}Many of my people are most curious|to know what it is we have...
{12387}{12439}..that you could possibly want.
{12463}{12549}Well, you remember how excited|Carter got the day we got here?
{12553}{12635}- Something in our soil.|- That's a mineral called naqahdah.
{12639}{12733}We don't have it on Earth. It's...|Well, it's very important to us.
{12737}{12785}Why?
{12789}{12839}It's powerful.
{12843}{12935}And in return for taking|this naqahdah from our soil?
{12975}{13037}There are a lot of things|we could help you out with.
{13041}{13164}Medicine, technology, education.|We'd become friends.
{13168}{13218}We're already friends.
{13222}{13283}Closer friends?
{13287}{13390}My mother taught me to be wary|of men wishing to be closer friends.
{13394}{13461}If you'd like, I'll negotiate|this treaty with her.
{13465}{13532}That way there'd be no conflict of interest.
{13605}{13681}I've never seen the fire rain|in the light of day.
{13837}{13933}- Anybody else see that?|- This is Carter, sir. I did.
{13937}{14014}I think it's just the beginning, sir.
{14085}{14133}Look at this.
{14193}{14247}It's a cooking utensil.
{14299}{14356}Which probably means|people spent time here.
{14360}{14489}Perhaps this cave allowed some Edorans|to survive the last meteor bombardment.
{14518}{14566}The ancestors.
{14570}{14668}- Teal'c, Daniel. Back to the village, ASAP.|- Understood, O'Neill.
{14725}{14809}Folks, we think the fire rain|is gonna start hitting the ground soon.
{14813}{14910}As a precaution, we'd like to take you all|to our planet till the threat is over.
{14914}{14947}There is no threat.
{14951}{15021}If just one big meteor|lands within a few miles of here,...
{15025}{15089}..the explosion|could wipe out the entire village.
{15093}{15175}Year after year the fire rain comes,|goes and harms no one.
{15179}{15290}Do you not see what they are doing? They|want us gone so they can claim our lands.
{15294}{15365}- That's not true.|- If you go with them,...
{15369}{15439}..you will never see your land again.
{15458}{15538}For cryin' out loud.|There's always one like you in a crowd.
{15542}{15588}You wanna stay? Stay.
{15592}{15648}I have come to know these travellers.
{15652}{15723}And though their world seems far,|it is only a step away.
{15727}{15794}I will take that step, in good faith.
{15804}{15880}If you wish to follow,|join us at the stone ring.
{15884}{15965}And if you do not,|may the ancestors protect you.
{16022}{16145}You need only take what you can carry.|There'll be plenty of food and water.
{16291}{16346}Right, folks. Train's leavin'. Let's move!
{16397}{16494}Garan? Don't forget the prayer chain|that your father gave you.
{16540}{16588}Garan?
{16624}{16672}Oh, no.
{16775}{16823}Have you seen Garan?
{16827}{16916}Daniel, Teal'c.|Did Garan come back with you?
{16945}{17027}- He should be here, O'Neill.|- The caves.
{17031}{17110}We were talking about|previous generations of survivors.
{17114}{17168}You three go. Get these people outta here.
{17172}{17240}- We'll find the kids and catch up.|- (Carter) Sir?
{17244}{17292}Go!
{17483}{17573}- SG-1's code, sir.|- Here they come, people.
{17577}{17655}- Doctor, stand by to receive refugees.|- Yes, sir.
{17935}{18024}Don't be afraid. The others|are waiting for you on the other side.
{18028}{18129}Sir, this is Carter. We've begun|the evacuation. What's your ETA?
{18190}{18284}Colonel, we're getting|multiple strikes now. Please respond.
{18367}{18415}Nothing.
{18579}{18643}That is the last of them.|The rest wish to remain.
{18647}{18701}- How many?|- One third of the village.
{18705}{18728}What?
{18732}{18842}Why don't you go through to let the|Edorans know that everything's all right?
{18846}{18894}Colonel, please respond.
{19006}{19039}Garan. Naytha.
{19043}{19142}Mother! This is where the ancestors|survived. We brought food, water....
{19146}{19211}Garan, try this my way.
{19238}{19302}(meteor strikes)
{19395}{19496}- It's getting too dangerous, Teal'c.|- I will remain until O'Neill returns.
{19500}{19560}He can dial home when he gets here.
{19579}{19627}(alarm sounds)
{20109}{20161}We're losing wormhole stability.
{20570}{20658}O'Neill went to help some villagers.|We waited till the last moment.
{20662}{20708}I know. We almost lost you.
{20712}{20768}General, I wish to return|with a search party.
{20772}{20864}That last hit was on top of the gate.|You'd be walking into a firestorm.
{20868}{20937}- I am willing to take that risk.|- I'm not willing to let you.
{20941}{21000}We could wait 24 hours|and send a MALP through.
{21004}{21099}Major Carter's right. If it's safe|by tomorrow, you'll all go.
{21424}{21472}Carter? Teal'c?
{21907}{21985}It's still pretty hot out there.|We should stay put.
{22101}{22168}There's good news. It's raining.
{22172}{22268}- It should put out some of the fires.|- Could you see the village?
{22304}{22352}No.
{22406}{22470}Garan, we had a plan.
{22504}{22560}Daniel said there's nothing you could do.
{22564}{22625}We were afraid.
{22789}{22853}Me too.
{22857}{22908}(meteor strikes)
{23165}{23205}(meteor strikes)
{23277}{23339}Chevron six encoded.
{23540}{23599}Chevron seven...
{23665}{23721}..locked.
{23804}{23877}- Wormhole established.|- Thank God.
{23881}{23990}- Standing by for MALP deployment, sir.|- Send it through.
{24125}{24294}The MALP should reach Edora|in four... three... two... one.
{24333}{24403}We should be receiving|telemetry now, sir.
{24709}{24742}No signal.
{24746}{24807}(man) Environmental|reports no telemetry.
{24811}{24880}(woman) Communications, no telemetry.
{24884}{24995}The MALP must have been destroyed|as soon as it reached the other side.
{25035}{25084}Shut it down.
{25149}{25257}Until you can provide me with answers,|the rescue mission is scrubbed.
{25261}{25366}Inform our visitors they'll stay with us|until we can make a proper assessment.
{25370}{25418}Yes, sir.
{26228}{26276}Paynan?
{26324}{26372}Laira!
{26421}{26510}- It is all right.|- One struck Talmar's home.
{26547}{26595}Three families were inside.
{26654}{26703}We are all that are left.
{26749}{26798}Why did you stay?
{26802}{26866}On the third day we could take no more.
{26898}{26986}We fled to the stone ring...
{26990}{27068}Where it used to be.
{27089}{27137}Used to be?
{27985}{28033}It's gone.
{28196}{28258}I'll never see my people again.
{28262}{28310}They can never come home.
{28388}{28436}No.
{28491}{28539}And you?
{29372}{29491}Thanks be to the ancestors that we live|and have a roof to shield our heads.
{29495}{29628}Thanks be to the ancestors that|we have food to sustain and nourish us.
{29711}{29823}This is all that remains of our people,|because of you.
{29827}{29875}My mother and father...
{29879}{29959}You took them away through that thing,|and now it is gone.
{29963}{30025}That thing probably saved their lives.
{30052}{30156}And if you'd have shut up and listened|to me, this wouldn't be the situation.
{30283}{30354}This is my home,|and you are welcome here.
{30447}{30503}You need to eat.
{31095}{31143}Thank you.
{31213}{31270}No signal from the radio transmitter, sir.
{31274}{31365}If the Edoran Stargate were buried,|how was the wormhole established?
{31369}{31434}- The meteor hit while it was active.|- So... So...
{31438}{31539}It's possible the molten naqahdah|hardened just above the event horizon.
{31543}{31602}- Like an iris.|- Yeah.
{31682}{31742}- Sergeant, shut it down.|- Yes, sir.
{31806}{31888}That was our last shot, people,|and I'm calling this one.
{31892}{32002}- I'm declaring him missing in action.|- Perhaps the door can be reached.
{32006}{32073}- The Tok'ra could send a ship.|- Or the Tollan.
{32077}{32162}Let me contact our allies|capable of interstellar travel,...
{32166}{32222}..see if they're willing to help.
{32226}{32274}Very well, Doctor.
{33251}{33375}I thought you might like a clean|work shirt. My husband never wore it.
{33379}{33435}I made it for him just before he died.
{33472}{33564}- There's a chance the Stargate...|- We have to rebuild before the harvest.
{33568}{33632}And there are very few of us now.
{34251}{34331}Wormhole physics -|a field, Major, that you pioneered -
{34335}{34450}states that under these conditions, matter|won't even reintegrate on the other side.
{34454}{34537}- There's no way to overcome that.|- I think there is, sir.
{34541}{34625}And I'm not the one who thought of it.|Sokar did.
{34629}{34720}When he tried to breach the iris|by bombarding it with a particle beam.
{34724}{34826}Particles barely small enough to|reintegrate made energy as they decayed.
{34830}{34927}- Which caused the iris to heat up.|- Exactly. If we could do the same,...
{34931}{35055}..we could melt the hardened naqahdah|and create a pocket of superheated gas.
{35059}{35129}- Then what?|- All we have to do is open the gate.
{35133}{35184}The unstable vortex it generates...
{35188}{35299}..would be allowed to expand into that|pocket and create an even larger cavern.
{35303}{35396}One person might be able|to go through, sir, and dig it out.
{35449}{35544}I think we can safely assume|Teal'c would volunteer, but...
{35548}{35661}We don't have a particle-beam generator.|We'd have to build one.
{35831}{35904}Then you'd better get started.
{36224}{36315}You, uh... missed evening meal.|I brought you something.
{36332}{36390}Wasn't hungry.
{36394}{36478}Well, you gotta be.|You've worked all day in the fields.
{36550}{36620}I've got a couple of hours|of good light left.
{36650}{36698}I'm sorry.
{36742}{36826}- For what?|- You can't go home.
{36847}{36900}- It's my fault.|- No, it's not.
{37430}{37549}- You working through the night again?|- Yeah. Lot of work to do. Thank you.
{37553}{37631}Look, Sam, there's no doubt|you are going to solve this,...
{37635}{37720}..but you have to accept the fact|it's going to take time.
{37724}{37822}Yeah, well, if I think that way|it could take months.
{37826}{37959}Daniel says the Tollan could have a ship|in the vicinity of Edora early next year.
{37976}{38040}He shouldn't have to wait that long.
{38067}{38115}You miss him.
{38136}{38184}Yeah.
{38257}{38335}- Is this a problem?|- No.
{38339}{38387}No, of course not.
{38418}{38466}OK.
{38483}{38531}- Night.|- Night.
{39528}{39602}Many of us fear|the fire rain will come again.
{39606}{39663}- Do you?|- No.
{39701}{39769}If Daniel was right, and he always is,...
{39790}{39883}..it'll be another 1 50 years|before that happens again.
{39945}{40009}It's a long time.
{40071}{40160}I was just kinda wondering|which direction home was.
{40164}{40212}It's this way.
{40227}{40285}- No, I meant...|- I know what you meant.
{40316}{40364}Come.
{40398}{40460}I'd like your company.
{40510}{40572}I don't even like my company right now.
{40584}{40638}You will again.
{40642}{40690}Loss is that way.
{40727}{40785}I mourned my husband for 100 days.
{40830}{40920}I never left my house.|I never spoke to anyone.
{40998}{41046}After that?
{41050}{41103}I left my house.
{41107}{41164}And I spoke to people.
{41222}{41270}Walk with me.
{42504}{42590}- You left this at home.|- Oh, yeah. Yeah.
{42805}{42873}Paynan has invited you|to evening supper.
{42877}{42930}Why? He doesn't even like me.
{42934}{43041}He's very grateful for all the help|you've given him in rebuilding his home.
{43045}{43109}I just hammered a few nails.
{43113}{43186}Well, I made the nails first|and then I hammered them, but...
{43190}{43255}Still, you've worked very hard. Thank you.
{43259}{43315}Anything I can do.
{43319}{43367}There is something.
{43384}{43432}Yeah? What?
{43467}{43574}- No. It's too soon.|- No, come on. Don't... do that.
{43578}{43626}What?
{43630}{43680}You'll know when the time comes.
{43720}{43784}I need a little help here. A hint.
{44045}{44091}Does that help?
{44111}{44159}A little.
{44574}{44648}Initiating beam-firing sequence... now.
{44882}{44964}Particle beam is operating|at 112% of predicted efficiency.
{44968}{45041}- How long do we maintain the beam?|- The longer the better.
{45045}{45157}The important thing will be to dial again|quickly as soon as it shuts down.
{45161}{45209}(hoedown music)
{45512}{45576}Well, whaddya think?
{45579}{45638}Absolute rotgut.
{45651}{45697}More, please.
{46217}{46260}What just happened?
{46264}{46362}The ancestors guided him|to the one they wish him betrothed.
{46431}{46479}He was peekin'.
{46505}{46565}What?
{47352}{47478}MALP should be arriving at the Edora gate|in three... two... one.
{47542}{47611}Receiving telemetry.
{47615}{47728}- No, wait. We've lost it. There's no signal.|- What's happened?
{47732}{47848}- Transmission interrupt at the source.|- Play back the visual.
{47858}{47906}(Carter) Whoa. There. See?
{47969}{48028}The gate is horizontal|as you thought, Major Carter.
{48032}{48094}The MALP slipped back|through the event horizon.
{48098}{48157}The vortex will have dug|partway to the surface.
{48161}{48247}Secure yourself above the event horizon|once you're on the other side.
{48251}{48334}- You'll have to carry everything you need.|- I understand.
{48350}{48444}I hope you do, son. Because if you fail|to dig your way to the surface,...
{48448}{48509}..this will be a one-way trip.
{48842}{48890}- Garan?|- Just us.
{48975}{49023}(whispers) Ah...
{49072}{49179}Well, apparently I should expect|a massive headache tomorrow.
{49213}{49286}So I should... get a head start.
{49453}{49555}Do you remember when I told you there|was something you could do for me?
{49722}{49791}I want you to give me a child.
{49827}{49888}A child.
{49921}{49969}I wanted to be patient.
{50000}{50109}I wanted to wait until you had let go|of the life you left behind.
{50135}{50206}Until you knew that you belonged with us.
{50260}{50347}Tonight... I see it in your eyes.
{50421}{50469}(whispers) Laira...
{50520}{50568}You should know...
{50601}{50687}..a part of me is never gonna let go|of what I left behind.
{50722}{50770}(whispers) Well...
{50787}{50842}That's not the part I want.
{51803}{51851}Crap.
{52220}{52270}She is a fine woman.
{52345}{52409}Yes, she is.
{52412}{52509}Took you long enough to see that.|I was afraid you were going blind.
{52513}{52586}No. If I've gone blind,...
{52590}{52692}..it's from whatever|we were drinking last night.
{52845}{52906}Tolka.
{52910}{52975}- Has a bite to it.|- Yeah. Yeah.
{53375}{53478}General Hammond,|I have secured myself on the other side.
{53492}{53540}Understood, Teal'c.
{53544}{53592}I will begin immediately.
{53883}{53995}- Goin' somewhere with that stuff?|- I thought you might not need these.
{53999}{54075}Well, hang on. Some of that's|pretty good. The jacket is, uh...
{54079}{54136}Does it remind you of home?
{54275}{54327}Toss it.
{54331}{54379}Are you sure?
{54419}{54472}Yeah.
{54706}{54754}(drilling)
{54982}{55031}What's your progress, Teal'c?
{55112}{55181}It is most difficult, Daniel Jackson.
{55200}{55279}The gate will shut down|automatically in... 60 seconds.
{55283}{55333}We won't be able to open it again.
{55337}{55425}The vortex would vaporise|everything within the cavern.
{55429}{55516}You'll have a maximum of|four hours of oxygen once we're cut off.
{55520}{55584}If you haven't reached|the surface by that time...
{55587}{55666}Then you may want|to wish me "rel tora ke".
{55714}{55769}Good luck, Teal'c.
{56073}{56137}(Carter) 15 seconds till shutdown.
{56184}{56232}10 seconds till shutdown.
{56291}{56339}Five seconds.
{56689}{56813}Curling. Big where my grandfather's from|in, uh, northern Minnesota.
{56817}{56953}You throw a big, round, kind of slab|of rock down this... slab of ice,...
{56957}{57005}..and you sweep...
{57105}{57153}What?
{57225}{57297}When I was taking|your things away today,...
{57301}{57380}..l thought I heard|a sound come from this.
{57440}{57510}Perhaps a voice.
{57825}{57889}This is Colonel Jack O'Neill. Come in.
{57958}{58018}- O'Neill.|- Teal'c! Where the hell are you?
{58028}{58131}Attempting to reach the surface.|Little oxygen remains, O'Neill.
{58142}{58207}- I got you on RDF signal.|- (rapid bleeping)
{58288}{58336}I'm right on top of you!
{59201}{59293}Teal'c!|You are one stubborn son of a bitch!
{59806}{59881}When the MALP sent back|just a few seconds of telemetry,...
{59885}{59953}..we knew the gate was horizontal, and...
{60019}{60074}Is he all right?
{60078}{60180}He's fine. I just don't think|he was expecting to go home again.
{60295}{60350}You must be very happy|to be going home.
{60374}{60429}No, I'm not.
{60433}{60481}You don't have to.
{60528}{60579}Come with me.
{60583}{60641}I belong here.
{60702}{60766}I'll come back. Soon.
{60801}{60865}We still have that treaty to talk about.
{60898}{61015}Of course. Our two worlds|are going to be friends.
{61149}{61218}Closer friends.
{61337}{61385}Fair day, and be well.
