{271}{359}All right, everyone, on your toes.|Major Gant, report.
{362}{462}A ship just exited a hyperspace window.|Goa'uld vessel. Ha'tak class.
{465}{596}- Sound general quarters.|- Goa'uld vessel is closing on our position.
{598}{730}Shields at maximum. Load missile bays|and charge the primary weapons system.
{732}{778}(alarm)
{836}{888}Excuse me
{924}{958}That's annoying.
{961}{1038}Colonel Ronson has issued a call|for battle stations.
{1040}{1076}Again.
{1078}{1142}Aren't we participating in damage control?
{1145}{1238}Yes, and if there's ever any damage,|l'll do my best to control it.
{1241}{1294}Right now l wanna talk to Ronson.
{1366}{1498}- Goa'uld vessel is within range, sir.|- Weapons Officer, prepare to fire.
{1500}{1572}He's weapons officer.|You'd think he'd be prepared.
{1574}{1598}lndeed.
{1601}{1683}The bridge isn't where you should be|during a battle drill.
{1685}{1767}No. l've been meaning|to talk to you about that.
{1770}{1838}Can it wait until|we're not in the middle of a drill?
{1840}{1933}When are we not in the middle of a drill?
{1987}{2058}OK. We'll talk about it later.
{2061}{2134}Teal'c, prepare to assist|in damage control.
{2136}{2220}- l am prepared, O'Neill.|- See how melodramatic that sounds?
{2222}{2276}lt's unnecessary.
{2378}{2430}Where were we?
{4027}{4106}Sir, l feel like|we're getting in the way here.
{4109}{4240}SG-1 has valuable experience with both|hyperspace travel and the ''Prometheus''.
{4242}{4396}Besides, your mission to P7X-009|shouldn't take more than a few hours.
{4399}{4476}General Greer and l|just want you there for the shakedown.
{4478}{4576}- ln the unlikely event of an emergency?|- Something like that.
{4579}{4650}Enjoy the ride, Colonel. Hammond out.
{4724}{4814}This is Prometheus|requesting go-ahead for mission start.
{4817}{4936}This is Vandenberg. You've an affirmative|for hyperspace window activation.
{4938}{5026}Roger that. Major, we have a go.
{5029}{5094}Yes, sir. Activating window.
{5354}{5444}Run level-one diagnostics|on all weapons systems.
{5446}{5496}- Ring transport?|- Hit all of them.
{5498}{5610}Also set up a hull-breach simulation|for 0500. That's all.
{5613}{5662}Yes, sir.
{5681}{5720}Jack.
{5805}{5862}You've got a fine crew here, Ronson.
{5864}{5956}- You've got a pretty solid team yourself.|- Speaking of that...
{5959}{6068}Jack, l know that in the event|of a real situation with the Goa'uld,
{6070}{6120}you feel your place is on the bridge.
{6122}{6216}You'd be a fool not to take advantage|of Teal'c's expertise.
{6219}{6344}You're absolutely right, but you're|just along for the shakedown cruise.
{6347}{6484}My crew needs to be able to count on me|and on each other after you're gone.
{6486}{6538}l guess l can respect that.
{6541}{6616}Besides, l highly doubt|we'll run into the Goa'uld.
{6704}{6775}We just dropped out of hyperspace.
{6802}{6852}Carter, Teal'c, meet me on the bridge.
{6928}{6994}- Major?|- We were supposed to be in hyperspace
{6997}{7080}for another 90 minutes, sir.|l don't know what happened.
{7082}{7193}- What's our position?|- 40.62 light years short of the target, sir.
{7195}{7259}Something caused the hyperdrive|to shut down.
{7261}{7368}That would only happen if the computer|detected instability in the naquadria.
{7371}{7482}He's right, sir. Diagnostics show|a massive power surge in the hyperdrive.
{7485}{7582}- Have you begun restart procedures?|- The computer won't allow start-up.
{7618}{7676}Carter?
{7679}{7752}- You promised me it would work.|- lt did work.
{7754}{7857}- No, it didn't.|- The hyperdrive was fitted with a buffer,
{7860}{7958}designed to modulate fluctuations|in energy from the naquadria.
{7961}{8032}- This shouldn't be happening.|- Yet it is happening.
{8035}{8123}- Yet it is.|- Something must've damaged the buffer.
{8126}{8226}- Sir, with your permission, l'd like to look.|- Yeah. Me too.
{8228}{8300}Take Major Gant.|Report back to me as soon as possible.
{8303}{8352}Yes, sir.
{8439}{8533}We were right. Something caused|the buffer to overload. lt's fried.
{8536}{8618}But it was created|to handle massive amounts of energy.
{8621}{8696}Gravity waves.|l just checked the ship's sensor log.
{8698}{8790}We passed through an intense|gravity wave from a collapsing star.
{8792}{8844}That would explain it.
{8846}{8914}But the engines are intact|and we have naquadria.
{8916}{9014}But we have no way to regulate it|or to calculate the distance we travelled
{9017}{9072}because of naquadria's instability.
{9075}{9152}We could end up anywhere.
{9280}{9356}lf he was gonna help out,|he'd have shown by now.
{9358}{9438}- Who?|- Thor.
{9452}{9528}- Little guy, grey.|- l know who Thor is.
{9530}{9630}The Asgard have proven valuable|in similar situations.
{9633}{9706}- Carter?|- l'm afraid it doesn't look good, sir.
{9709}{9808}Even if we could write a subroutine|into the computer to bypass the buffer,
{9810}{9878}we'd still risk the reactor going critical.
{9881}{10000}Use whatever you need to repair|the buffer. Cannibalise any other systems.
{10003}{10060}With all due respect, Colonel, l can't.
{10102}{10200}- Carter?|- Sir, l helped design the buffer module.
{10203}{10340}There is no way l can make it operational,|not with what we have on this ship.
{10353}{10454}lt's like a light bulb that's burned out -|you can't just fix it.
{10490}{10600}- Do we have any extra bulbs?|- There's no redundancy for that system.
{10603}{10668}So you're saying there's no redundancy?
{10671}{10799}Even if we plotted a course for Earth using|maximum sublight thrust, it'd take years.
{10801}{10902}- We don't have the supplies.|- Not to mention the relativistic effects.
{10904}{10968}That buffer has to be repaired.
{10971}{11050}Actually, there may be another solution.
{11064}{11226}According to the cartouche, there's a|planet .38 light years from here - P3X-7 44.
{11228}{11356}We've dialled it unsuccessfully before, but|if it's on the cartouche it must have a gate.
{11358}{11398}Perhaps it's buried.
{11400}{11472}lf we get there, we can get|what we need to fix the ship.
{11474}{11570}lt's a four-month journey using|sublight engines. We'd never make it.
{11573}{11664}- We use the hyperdrive.|- l thought we couldn't do that.
{11667}{11746}For a protracted period of time, no.
{11748}{11820}7 44 would be a pretty short hop.
{11855}{11938}The shorter the energy burst,|the less chance of instability.
{11941}{11990}That's what l'm thinking.
{11993}{12057}lt's your call.
{12078}{12164}But l don't see how we have much choice.
{12190}{12280}Major Gant, plot a course for 7 44.
{12522}{12612}Now orbiting P3X-7 44, sir.
{12614}{12704}- Any port in a storm, eh?|- Good work, people.
{12746}{12830}Sir, there's an energy build-up|in the naquadria cells.
{12833}{12974}- Shut down power to the reactor.|- The controls will not respond, sir.
{12976}{13082}The jump must have triggered a surge|that overloaded the control systems.
{13085}{13160}Sir, without the buffer|we can't stop the build-up.
{13163}{13253}We have a few minutes|before the naquadria reactor goes critical.
{13256}{13363}- Stand by to jettison the reactor module.|- Yes, sir.
{13366}{13473}lf there's no gate on this planet,|we lose our only means of getting home.
{13475}{13604}- lt would appear there is little choice.|- Get shields and sublight engines on line.
{13607}{13668}We won't get very far away|before it blows.
{13670}{13755}Then we're about to find out|just how good our shields are.
{13758}{13819}- All hands, brace for impact.|- (alarm)
{13822}{13945}Reactor-module separation on my mark.|Three, two, one, mark.
{14126}{14218}- Module jettisoned.|- Get us clear. Full military thrust.
{14547}{14576}(alarm)
{14951}{15026}- Damage report.|- An electromagnetic pulse hit the shields.
{15029}{15126}Primary computers down. All we have|is artificial gravity and life support.
{15129}{15214}- Casualties?|- None reported.
{15217}{15310}- How soon till systems are back on line?|- lt's too early to say.
{15313}{15378}- l'd like to assist if l may.|- Please do, Major.
{15381}{15533}Colonel, picking up incoming bogies from|the planet's surface heading this way.
{15536}{15662}- (Ronson) Can you identify them?|- A long-range ballistic weapon, sir.
{15665}{15720}We're under attack.
{15995}{16080}- Missiles are on an intercept course.|- (Ronson) Leave orbit.
{16083}{16194}- We can't manoeuvre, sir.|- Arm weapons. We'll try to take them out.
{16196}{16262}Weapons control is down, sir.
{16265}{16338}- How long before they hit?|- Three minutes.
{16341}{16406}Not enough time|to get systems back on line.
{16408}{16498}They only launched missiles|after we exploded our hyperdrive.
{16501}{16582}lt could have looked like an attack|from their point of view.
{16585}{16710}l agree, sir. Based on the weapons|they fired, they're a sophisticated race.
{16712}{16833}The EM pulse that hit our computers may|have had the same impact on their planet.
{16836}{16897}Then how could they launch missiles?
{16900}{17002}Ballistic missile sites on Earth|are shielded for EMP.
{17023}{17100}- Let's talk to 'em.|- Two minutes to missile impact.
{17103}{17206}l can broadcast on multiple frequencies.|They could pick it up.
{17209}{17260}Do it.
{17300}{17384}This is Colonel O'Neill|of the US Air Force vessel Prometheus.
{17386}{17468}- Can anyone hear me down there?|- (static)
{17494}{17598}The explosion that just happened|over your planet was an accident.
{17601}{17726}The resulting EM pulse damaged our ship.|We are defenceless against your attack.
{17729}{17770}(static)
{17829}{17898}We've come a long way to meet you folks,
{17900}{18024}so if there's anything you could do to,|you know, stop those missiles...
{18063}{18160}- One minute to impact.|- Lock down compartments and brace.
{18162}{18196}(alarm)
{18198}{18326}We'd very much like the opportunity|to land and introduce ourselves,
{18328}{18490}but if you destroy our ship,|that's going to be... very difficult.
{18492}{18551}(static)
{19198}{19264}Missiles self-destructed at 1 7,000 metres.
{19364}{19442}This is Commander Kalfas|of the Tagrean security force.
{19445}{19539}We will transmit landing coordinates.|Kalfas out.
{19542}{19634}Not exactly an engraved invitation, but...
{19660}{19780}l would prefer not landing until we have|our shields and weapons back on line.
{19782}{19898}We should have systems back up|within a few minutes, sir.
{20250}{20336}The guy you talked to is|Commander Kalfas. The planet is Tagrea.
{20338}{20402}Kalfas. Tagrea. Got it.
{20404}{20540}Sir, l've scanned for naqahdah traces|to determine the location of the Stargate.
{20542}{20592}So far l've got nothing.
{20594}{20676}- Could the cartouche be incorrect?|- lt hasn't been yet.
{20678}{20824}lf they don't accept our apology, finding|the gate'll be the least of our problems.
{21561}{21610}Drop your weapons immediately.
{21630}{21732}Howdy, fellas.|Colonel Jack O'Neill, United States...
{21734}{21808}Powerful weapons|are aimed at you and your ship.
{21810}{21924}- Air Force.|- Disarm yourselves, or you'll be fired on.
{21926}{22051}- This is not negotiable.|- l believe he is being sincere in his threat.
{22054}{22148}l guess we have to start|trusting them at some point.
{22246}{22292}Yeah.
{22529}{22630}l take it we've you to thank for destroying|the missiles before they hit,
{22633}{22697}thus saving our lives?
{22699}{22788}There was something in your voice|that l trusted.
{22834}{22900}Did l mention we're sorry?
{22902}{23020}Knowing the EM pulse damaged your|ship l'll accept it was unintentional.
{23023}{23130}- l'm not so willing.|- Power has been restored to the cities.
{23133}{23202}There was much impact|on our economic systems.
{23204}{23296}- They will recover.|- We don't know the extent of the damage.
{23299}{23348}Nothing...
{23350}{23490}compared to the event of meeting people|from another world for the very first time.
{23547}{23611}lt is a profound moment for us.
{23637}{23740}You have said Tagrea holds the key|to returning to your home planet.
{23742}{23812}- Could you be more specific?|- Chairman Ashwan...
{23815}{23971}we believe you have alien technology that|can transport matter across the galaxy.
{24112}{24184}We'd like to borrow your Stargate.
{24198}{24350}- l'm sorry, our ''Stargate''?|- A ring thing? Comes with a dialler.
{24352}{24516}You hit the symbols, it spins around,|lights come on and it flushes sideways.
{24518}{24568}lt looks like...
{24631}{24682}this.
{24685}{24752}Once activated,
{24754}{24854}it is able to transport you from|one planet to another instantaneously.
{24857}{24928}ln this case,|from Tagrea to our planet, Earth.
{24931}{25008}They seek the Ring of the Gods.
{25010}{25098}lf that's what you wanna call it.|''Ring of the Gods'' is good.
{25153}{25282}Please, understand.|This device you seek - the ''Stargate''.
{25305}{25356}- l regret to tell you...|- lt's a myth.
{25359}{25462}There has never been a shred of evidence|to prove its existence.
{25511}{25572}Have you looked around? Just...
{25574}{25683}lf you grant us access to historical data,|we might be able to shed light on this.
{25685}{25742}Your freedom of movement|is not negotiable.
{25745}{25858}Once this meeting is over, you are|to return to your vessel and stay there.
{25861}{25950}ln the meantime, l will have|some historical data delivered to you.
{25953}{26086}- Mr Chairman|- lf you prove the existence of a Stargate,
{26104}{26255}we will be glad to help you locate it as an|act of good faith between our two worlds.
{26286}{26336}Thank you, Ashwan.
{26552}{26636}They may well be gathering|information for an invasion.
{26639}{26750}Even if you're right,|knowing our history will do no harm.
{26753}{26808}But, Kalfas...
{26811}{26888}what if this ring does exist?
{26910}{27036}lmagine, after all these centuries,|finding a piece of our past.
{27080}{27194}And what if our past|was buried for a good reason?
{27196}{27306}Travellers from another world|are seeking our help.
{27532}{27572}How goes the homework?
{27574}{27661}There's almost nothing|to indicate how these people got here.
{27663}{27792}No archaeological data, no ancient|writings, no documentation of artefacts.
{27794}{27910}l have found no mention of the Chaapa-ai,|nor other technology used by the Goa'uld.
{27912}{28016}That's a little weird.|The Goa'uld are damn litterbugs.
{28019}{28078}They usually leave a lot of crap behind.
{28080}{28136}That is most often the case.
{28138}{28206}lf this is a comprehensive history,|it's a joke.
{28209}{28296}l know. There's nothing|dating back further than 300 years.
{28299}{28408}- Maybe a year is longer on this planet.|- Maybe, sir, but even so,
{28411}{28508}with no idea of where the Tagreans|came from, we can't find the Stargate.
{28511}{28623}So, either they are|hiding something from us, or...
{28626}{28712}Or their entire past has been erased.
{28960}{29048}- You invited them for dinner|- l was thinking more of a brunch.
{29051}{29133}We offered it in exchange|for access to their archives.
{29135}{29256}- A library pass for a tour of the ship.|- When were you going to inform me?
{29297}{29400}- Now.|- l can appreciate you wanna get home,
{29402}{29477}but my priority is the security|of this ship and crew.
{29479}{29600}Ronson, your ship and crew are going|nowhere unless we find that gate.
{29603}{29695}l just don't like the idea|of giving a guided tour of Prometheus
{29698}{29770}to the same people|with gun batteries aimed at us.
{29772}{29836}We'd do the same damn thing.
{29839}{29911}Colonel Ronson,|we need these people to get home,
{29913}{29998}and we didn't exactly make|a good first impression.
{30037}{30156}We'll do this little barbecue of yours,|but that's as far as l go.
{30306}{30384}Do we have a barbecue?
{30621}{30712}- How many planets has SG-1 been to?|- 133.
{30715}{30783}On each of them,|those inhabited by humans at least,
{30785}{30880}there's been some indication|of their origins - a temple, ruins.
{30883}{30938}lt is indeed a mystery, Jonas Quinn.
{30940}{31060}A Goa'uld would not bring Tauri to a world|and not force them to build monuments.
{31062}{31180}l don't care how hard you try, you can't|erase history. Something has to remain.
{31183}{31248}We just need to find it.
{31303}{31442}- We are being watched.|- The guy half-hiding behind the shelf?
{31445}{31522}He's been casing us since we got here.
{31648}{31694}And not very well either.
{31734}{31768}Most impressive.
{31771}{31936}And you say much of the technology|included in your vessel is of alien origin?
{31938}{32032}- Yes.|- Most of the key systems, in fact.
{32034}{32126}lt's one thing to build a ship,|another to fly it across the galaxy.
{32128}{32194}We haven't got that part|straightened out yet.
{32197}{32336}We use the element naquadria to power|our hyperdrive engines, but it is unstable.
{32338}{32434}ln fact, that instability|led to the explosion above your planet.
{32436}{32486}We had to eject the reactor.
{32489}{32566}Why use such a dangerous substance|to power your ship?
{32568}{32648}l've asked the same question.
{32650}{32732}For now, naquadria is our short cut|to interstellar travel.
{32734}{32856}More stable forms of energy don't provide|enough power to run the hyperdrive.
{32859}{33004}My advisors have expressed concern this|is a military ship. What do l say to them?
{33006}{33066}That they're right.
{33069}{33140}Prometheus was designed|for defensive purposes.
{33143}{33188}- From these ''Goa'uld''?|- Yes.
{33190}{33306}- Without your main source of power?|- With or without the naquadria reactor,
{33308}{33428}this ship is more than capable|of defending itself against attack.
{33430}{33542}May l introduce Colonel William Ronson,|commander of the Prometheus.
{33545}{33586}lt is an honour.
{33589}{33674}l assure you we would not attack|without provocation.
{33677}{33754}There are several gun batteries|aimed at my ship, sir.
{33757}{33838}We must defend ourselves|from any action you might take.
{33841}{33956}For instance, should Chairman Ashwan|and l fail to appear at a specific time,
{33958}{34042}my men have orders|to fire those batteries.
{34045}{34132}Then perhaps we had better|continue the tour.
{34178}{34260}- Please, Major Carter, after you.|- Thank you, sir.
{34263}{34310}Sir.
{34873}{35006}- May we be of assistance?|- Forgive me. l did not want to intrude.
{35008}{35136}l am Tarek Solamon. l am a professor|of mathematics at the university.
{35139}{35244}l'm Jonas Quinn. This is Teal'c. lf you|were curious about us, just come over.
{35247}{35394}With respect, Mr Quinn, it is not you|l was curious about, but what you seek.
{35397}{35422}Continue.
{35425}{35562}l've heard you seek evidence of the Ring|of the Gods. l believe l can help you find it.
{35880}{36020}l hope it's satisfactory. We didn't expect|to host a formal dinner on this mission.
{36023}{36124}lt's fascinating to realise|we are eating food
{36126}{36216}grown and prepared on a world|millions of light years away.
{36218}{36314}And frozen millions of years ago.
{36357}{36432}lt's the best we have on board.
{36469}{36538}Mr Chairman, we noticed in our research
{36541}{36644}that your history seems limited|to the last 300 years.
{36676}{36746}Prior to our recorded history,
{36748}{36808}our people endured a...
{36811}{36896}a long and terrible dark age.
{36926}{36994}One they desperately wish to forget.
{37013}{37104}Thus, only after Tagrea|emerged from this black era
{37107}{37200}did historians begin again|to record events.
{37203}{37268}lt means you're missing|many years of your past.
{37270}{37316}Yes.
{37339}{37410}Aren't you curious?
{37428}{37482}lt's hardly a question of choice.
{37485}{37562}Even if we wished to know our history,|there's none to study.
{37565}{37656}All evidence of it was destroyed|centuries ago.
{37659}{37772}We believe what came before Year Zero|has no intrinsic value to our society.
{37774}{37882}The society of the new era|has no need to know how they suffered.
{37884}{38006}On Earth we study our past|to learn from it.
{38009}{38122}Whereas we believe|that nostalgia's a sign of weakness.
{38251}{38320}l'm sure both points of view have merit.
{38322}{38378}Well said, Major.
{38521}{38582}A drink to history.
{38651}{38716}And to the future.
{39030}{39156}Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter,|the meal was... interesting.
{39159}{39210}Glad you liked it.
{39213}{39305}- He didn't say that.|- Well, l did. Thank you.
{39334}{39418}Now that we've gotten|to know each other a little better,
{39420}{39528}do you think having those guns|pointed at us is completely necessary?
{39530}{39604}Would your Colonel Ronson|not be as vigilant?
{39656}{39724}Yes, l'm sure he would be.
{39775}{39866}- Mr Chairman?|- Go, Kalfas. l will join you in a moment.
{40080}{40194}l apologise for Commander Kalfas'|behaviour. Diplomacy is not his strength.
{40196}{40274}Yes. We share that quality in common.
{40277}{40450}Since l took office, l have been perceived|as being weak in matters of civic defence.
{40453}{40540}As a result, Kalfas has|growing political support.
{40542}{40630}Our arrival hasn't|helped things much, has it?
{40633}{40692}No.
{40695}{40808}l only hope his mistrust does not interfere|with your quest for the Stargate.
{40811}{40950}l believe finding it would be|a great discovery for our people.
{41001}{41082}(Tarek) Please excuse|the state of my office.
{41129}{41262}So you said you could help us|find the Ring of the Gods.
{41265}{41336}- How?|- With these.
{41338}{41410}l spent a lifetime collecting them.
{41413}{41516}Relics from before my people|turned their back on their god.
{41519}{41620}- To which god are you referring?|- Our creator. Horus.
{41622}{41710}Only a few of us dare believe in him.
{41750}{41830}- lt is the symbol of Heru-ur.|- You know him?
{41832}{41932}Heru-ur is not a god. He is a Goa'uld.
{41951}{42048}He is the one who made us. The relics|speak of him as the creator of all life.
{42051}{42104}The one who spoke us into existence.
{42106}{42212}More likely he enslaved your ancestors|and brought them here from Earth.
{42214}{42344}Heru-ur must have abandoned your|people when resources were depleted.
{42347}{42452}Then the Tagreans must have tried|to destroy all evidence of their former god,
{42455}{42519}including everything|to do with the Stargate.
{42521}{42596}They did not destroy everything.
{42632}{42684}This remains.
{43205}{43274}My understanding|of this language is limited,
{43277}{43382}but it appears to be an etching|of something called a ''shap eye''.
{43385}{43438}- Chaapa-ai.|- Ah.
{43441}{43612}This text is a slight variation|of predynastic Egyptian. lt's beautiful.
{43615}{43786}This section here says Heru-ur's Stargate|can be found in a great desert to the north.
{43806}{43906}lt must mean the wastelands of Anhur.|They lie far beyond the city.
{43908}{43992}- l have found many of my artefacts there.|- Really?
{44080}{44178}Guys? We'd like to take a little field trip.
{44220}{44298}- They want to go to the wastelands.|- Then take them.
{44301}{44368}l think that's a mistake.
{44370}{44462}Because they may find something|you do not wish them to find?
{44465}{44557}- lf this is some sort of reconnaissance...|- You're being ridiculous.
{44560}{44694}- And you are being reckless|- People from another world are here.
{44697}{44748}Do you understand?
{44751}{44866}- And what's more, they seek our help.|- We do not know their true intentions.
{44869}{44952}Or what they can offer us -|an exchange of knowledge.
{44954}{45016}The Stargate|could open up the universe to us.
{45019}{45116}A universe of potential enemies.|l demand you reconsider.
{45118}{45192}We cannot undo what has happened.
{45227}{45336}The difference is, Kalfas,|l would not if l could.
{45366}{45491}They are here, and we must|deal with them one way or another.
{45494}{45544}- l prefer to help.|- And l prefer...
{45546}{45634}Now have them taken to the coordinates.
{45727}{45776}As you wish.
{45846}{45950}The Stargate should be located|directly in the middle of the second...
{45952}{46014}and third monument.
{46017}{46072}Are you certain, Jonas Quinn?
{46075}{46144}Well, that's what it says.
{46340}{46390}Jonas.
{46392}{46434}(clanging)
{46460}{46534}- You think that's the cover stones?|- lndeed.
{47056}{47138}''Here lies the Chaapa-ai of Heru-ur...
{47177}{47270}false god to the people of Tagrea.''
{47318}{47402}''May it never know the daylight again.''
{47404}{47456}The ring exists.
{47504}{47592}- (Teal'c) O'Neill.|- What's up, T?
{47594}{47652}l believe we have located the Stargate.
{47726}{47830}- That's good news.|- We will require assistance to retrieve it.
{47832}{47896}l'll talk to Ashwan.
{47918}{47968}Nice job.
{48740}{48770}(Carter) Jonas
{48773}{48848}lt looks good. lt looks intact.
{50169}{50234}Well, let's give it a shot.
{50877}{50914}Kalfas.
{50942}{51052}- What are you doing?|- Taking back what belongs to my people.
{51303}{51359}Kalfas' actions are outrageous.
{51361}{51438}- Tell him to stand down.|- l've done that. He refuses.
{51441}{51562}- He claims to be protecting our security.|- Have him arrested.
{51564}{51632}Kalfas commands great loyalty|in the military.
{51635}{51700}Challenging him|would only lead to civil war.
{51702}{51834}Sir, we could use the Prometheus.|Her weapons would defeat Kalfas' troops.
{51837}{51946}There is still that nagging problem|of all the guns pointed at it.
{51948}{52082}l chose the commander of those|gun batteries myself. He is loyal to me.
{52085}{52179}Colonel, l give you my word|he will not fire upon your ship.
{52409}{52503}Kalfas, you've no idea|what you're dealing with.
{52505}{52578}l know our ancestors|buried this device for a reason.
{52580}{52682}Maybe they were wrong. Maybe|you should stop being afraid of the past.
{52685}{52756}lt's not the past that concerns me.|lt's the future.
{52759}{52862}Having assessed our strength,|you would return with greater numbers.
{52865}{52952}- You have nothing to fear.|- (Quinn) We just wanna fix our ship.
{52954}{53077}Our people can become friends, they can|exchange knowledge, even trade.
{53080}{53160}We'll even teach you|how to use the Stargate.
{53227}{53309}Yes. You will teach me how to use it.
{53422}{53520}They're holding two of my men prisoner.|We need the ship.
{53522}{53628}Our shields are down. lf we take off|and they open fire with those guns...
{53631}{53695}Ashwan promised they wouldn't.
{53697}{53830}He lost control of his government, and l'm|to trust the safety of my crew to his word?
{53833}{53894}Yes. That's what you're going to do.
{53896}{53997}Jack, you're asking me|to risk everyone on this ship.
{54000}{54128}lf that is so, Colonel Ronson,|then l will be taking the same risk.
{54131}{54244}You may launch your vessel when ready.|You will not be fired upon.
{54312}{54358}- Major Gant.|- Sir?
{54360}{54436}Fire up the sublight engines.
{54438}{54586}Arm all available weapons and|prepare to return fire... on my orders only.
{54589}{54666}That will not be necessary, Colonel.
{54838}{54970}Let's hope the old man is right,|or this is gonna be a short ride.
{55296}{55416}No sign of weapon fire from|the gun batteries, sir. l think we're clear.
{55568}{55676}Very well. Proceed to the coordinates|at one-third thrust.
{55679}{55724}Yes, sir.
{56141}{56220}Are you sure you're up to this?|Things can get out of hand.
{56222}{56306}l'm not afraid, Major.|l should have done this a long time ago.
{56309}{56374}This is Ronson. We're in position.
{56377}{56428}Roger that.
{56876}{56974}Prometheus,|hold your fire until my signal.
{56976}{57032}(Ronson) ''Prometheus'' has your six.
{57293}{57358}This has gone far enough.|Release these men.
{57360}{57490}Hold your positions. We cannot let him|hand this device over to the aliens.
{57623}{57674}Commander Kalfas.
{57707}{57794}He's a good man, a cautious man.
{57822}{57878}But he thinks, as our ancestors did,
{57880}{57959}that it is better to control|what we do not understand,
{57962}{58038}to bury it so it cannot harm us.
{58041}{58124}l, too, once thought as he does,|but no longer.
{58186}{58284}These... ''aliens''|who Kalfas fears so much...
{58316}{58390}are not conquerors.
{58392}{58447}They are long-lost brethren.
{58555}{58620}Look at it.
{58623}{58698}This is where we came from.
{58767}{58834}This is who we are.
{58836}{58932}Our ancestors|erased our history out of fear.
{58976}{59062}And yet, without our history...
{59064}{59148}we cannot know who we are...
{59151}{59222}or what we may some day become.
{59251}{59326}l will not make that same mistake.
{59451}{59515}l'm relieving you of your command.
{59517}{59584}You and your men will stand down.
{59722}{59794}l said lower your weapons
{60116}{60166}Take him away.
{60503}{60554}Didn't know you had that in you.
{60557}{60608}Neither did l.
{60713}{60800}We'll be back in a few days|with equipment to repair our ship.
{60803}{60882}Until then Colonel Ronson|and his crew will be our guests.
{60885}{60977}l hope you'll join us|at a state dinner upon your return.
{61062}{61121}- Thanks, Tarek.|- No. Thank you.
{61124}{61220}l hope you will soon return.|There is much to learn about our history.
{61222}{61324}Yeah, but l think you know more|than most people on your planet.
{61327}{61441}l have a feeling this guy's|gonna be getting a bigger office soon.
