{1}{1}25.000 {234}{285}General, what's this all about? {287}{378}At 0920 hours this morning, someone|tried to enter the base using this. {380}{474}- Colonel O'Neill's security lD.|- After he was taken into custody, {476}{554}- he insisted on seeing you.|- Me? Why? {556}{664}I was hoping you could figure|that one out, Major. Open it. {815}{878}Thank you.|Now we're getting somewhere. {880}{956}Sergeant, that coffee|I asked for half an hour ago. {958}{1033}Anytime you feel like getting it... {1133}{1174}He's a boy, sir. {1199}{1292}As it turns out, Carter, yes, I am.|For the moment. {1325}{1373}Do I know you? {1375}{1421}Come on. {1423}{1479}It's me. {1481}{1579}We tried to contact Colonel O'Neill,|even sent someone to his house. {1581}{1647}Do you understand|how much trouble you're in? {1649}{1775}lmpersonating a military officer|is a federal offence. {1777}{1866}I am not impersonating anyone. {1916}{1986}{Y:i}I am Jack O'Neill. {3862}{3898}Finally. {4079}{4162}Hot chocolate? Are you kidding? {4214}{4274}Where did you get this? {4276}{4383}I didn't... I didn't get it anywhere. It's mine. {4385}{4462}- Because you're Colonel O'Neill.|- Exactly. {4549}{4687}Last night I ate some dinner, had a beer,|went to bed, and woke up like this. {4689}{4777}Can we please get to the part|where you and Fraiser run some tests, {4779}{4857}find a cure, make me big again? {4859}{4968}- This is the security breach?|- Daniel, tell them who I am, please. {4970}{5018}OK, love to. Who are you? {5042}{5154}This young man|claims he's Colonel O'Neill. {5156}{5219}It's a joke, right? {5249}{5300}- What's going on?|- Daniel! {5317}{5416}Sounds like him -|at least the loud, grating parts. {5418}{5469}OK. You want proof? {5471}{5573}Carter, you once carried a Tok'ra named|Jolinar who gave her life to save you. {5575}{5645}Daniel, until recently|you were an ascended being. {5647}{5740}You broke the rules, you got|kicked out of the Oma Desala fan club, {5742}{5781}and had your memory erased. {5783}{5886}And you and Bra'tac both just|lost your snakes in a Goa'uld ambush. {5888}{5969}Had your tretonin yet this morning? {6162}{6256}How could this child|possess such knowledge? {6334}{6429}{Y:i}Because it's me. {6641}{6799}Anyone care to speculate how a boy|could be aware of classified information? {6801}{6884}- Well, sir, it could be him.|- There is a physical resemblance. {6886}{6947}But he can't be more than 15 years old. {6949}{7048}Are you saying Colonel O'Neill has|regressed more than 30 years overnight? {7050}{7124}- Stranger things have happened.|- Name but one. {7126}{7222}The time he got really old, the time|he became a caveman, the time we all... {7224}{7307}Why don't we move on to|the testing portion of this exercise? {7351}{7473}- Are you certain, Doctor?|- Within an acceptable margin of error, {7475}{7564}the boy's DNA is virtually identical|to Colonel O'Neill's. {7566}{7647}- What size margin of error?|- Very small. {7649}{7704}In a court of law,|the DNA sample we took {7706}{7822}would be considered a high-probability|match to that of Colonel O'Neill. {7824}{7937}There is a tiny abnormality,|but for all intents and purposes, it's him. {7939}{8048}"Tiny abnormality" - like the fact he's a|few years younger than he's meant to be? {8050}{8138}To be honest, this is out of my league.|We've got specialists flying in. {8140}{8195}We'll run more tests,|see what we can learn. {8197}{8283}In the meantime, we'll try|to make him as comfortable as possible. {8285}{8342}I'll go set up a PlayStation. {8492}{8609}You know... I think you two|are enjoying this just a little too much. {8611}{8667}Well, you are kinda cute. {8699}{8752}That's "sir" to you. {8754}{8905}And being trapped inside a scrawny|little body isn't my idea of cute, Carter. {8915}{9016}Does possessing a younger body|not have certain advantages, O'Neill? {9018}{9085}No. Not seeing it. What do you mean? {9087}{9178}Do you not experience|increased health and vitality? {9218}{9294}My vitality was just fine, thank you. {9356}{9417}I think what Teal'c is saying is valid. {9419}{9520}How many of us wouldn't trade everything|for the chance to live our lives over? {9522}{9608}Yeah, well, I don't plan|on staying like this. {9610}{9718}Well, in the meantime,|may I make a suggestion? {9720}{9807}Try enjoying this as much as we are. {9827}{9852}Sir. {10486}{10554}It's nice to know|some things don't change. {10556}{10619}I wasn't exactly expecting visitors. {10621}{10684}We'll send this stuff to the lab for analysis. {10686}{10805}Well, if they find MSG,|I will never order from them again. {10816}{10858}What are we doing here exactly? {10860}{10943}This is the last place|you remember being... {10983}{11038}Older? {11040}{11107}Are you conducting|a scientific experiment, O'Neill? {11109}{11179}Come on. That salsa's still good. {11362}{11431}What was the last thing you ate, sir? {11463}{11542}Four cheese burritos,|some guacamole on the side. {11544}{11637}- Anything else?|- A beer. Then I hit the sack. {11654}{11796}So whatever happened to you must|have occurred once you were asleep. {12102}{12164}Hey! Do you mind? {12307}{12357}Teal'c! {12611}{12644}Whoa. {12683}{12737}- O'Neill.|- What is it? {12843}{12948}Either I'm remembering|a particularly bad dream, {12978}{13062}or the Asgard paid me|a little visit last night. {13262}{13325}{Y:i}(Hammond) What you're saying|makes no sense. {13327}{13426}Jack's account sounds like a number|of UFO abduction case files I've read. {13428}{13518}This you remember.|My birthday you forget. {13543}{13595}Looks like you'll have a lot more. {13597}{13691}This encounter is incongruous|with all previous contact with the Asgard. {13693}{13807}Thor has indicated that the Asgard kept|an eye on human development on Earth. {13809}{13898}But we're allies now. We've|cooperated on a number of missions. {13900}{14003}- This I would not have agreed to.|- What could they possibly hope to gain {14005}{14115}from secretly making you younger|against your will? {14167}{14230}I got nothing. {14232}{14341}I'd like to cross-reference the abduction|accounts, see if I can find a connection. {14343}{14455}Please do. Major, I believe you have|a briefing to run at 1300 hours. {14457}{14530}- Yes, sir. I'll be there.|- The F-302 briefing? {14532}{14640}- I thought I was running that.|- It would be best if the major handled it. {14642}{14724}I'm sure you can impart|any information she needs to know. {14726}{14810}- But I'm the one who...|- Good. Dismissed. {15038}{15088}{Y:i}- (knocking)|- Come in. {15147}{15286}Jack, try to understand. Your situation|puts me in a very difficult position. {15288}{15379}No offence, but you're not the one|who went to bed watching CNN {15381}{15440}and woke up|as part of the MTV generation. {15442}{15509}Which is why Major Carter's|handling that briefing. {15511}{15567}I've flown the 302 more than anyone else. {15569}{15640}Be that as it may, the bottom line is, {15642}{15806}a room full of seasoned pilots aren't|going to respect the opinion of a boy. {15808}{15894}Sir, I just look like one for the moment. {15896}{15973}But those men in that room|need my expertise. {15975}{16089}And if they're gonna be working here,|they're gonna have to get used to... {16091}{16154}- unusual things happening.|- Look, Jack. {16156}{16267}No one is disputing that you may continue|to be a valuable asset to the SGC. {16269}{16411}But under the circumstances,|there's nothing I can do. I'm sorry. {16436}{16491}Yes, sir. I understand. {16580}{16630}Dumb idea. {16694}{16801}It would appear that many Tauri have|encountered beings from other worlds. {16803}{16904}Little do they know|how close they are to the truth. {16906}{16968}What exactly are we looking for,|Daniel Jackson? {16970}{17037}Any abduction accounts|that match Jack's story, {17039}{17151}and anyone claiming to have physically|regressed several decades overnight. {17153}{17265}- We need to enter our search parameters.|- It has already been done. {17267}{17327}Wow! That's a lot of people. {17389}{17446}Indeed. {17448}{17602}Let's see if any of these match Jack's|story. He said he saw four green lights. {17660}{17715}That's a little more reasonable. {17717}{17826}That's interesting. Of the narrowed-down|accounts, the most recent is from... {17828}{17927}- 19 years ago.|- Eight are here in the States. {17929}{18039}If these addresses are still valid,|we should talk to these people in person. {18041}{18176}- What do you hope to learn?|- I guess we'll know when we learn it. {18240}{18375}As your intel packages show, the F-302 is|a spaceworthy fighter-interceptor aircraft {18377}{18453}reverse-engineered|from Goa'uld technology. {18455}{18539}Your upcoming mission has been dubbed|"Operation Blue Phoenix". {18541}{18667}It'll be a live-fire combat simulation to|test the 302 against actual death gliders. {18669}{18730}- Captain?|- According to our mission reports, {18732}{18798}you were second seat|on the most recent 302 mission. {18800}{18917}Yes, and it included close combat. We'll|cover what was learned in that encounter. {18919}{19043}- Didn't Colonel O'Neill pilot that mission?|- Yes, as a matter of fact he did. {19045}{19193}He also commanded the X-302 on both|hyperspace window missions, didn't he? {19195}{19241}What's your point, Major? {19243}{19318}With respect, ma'am,|shouldn't he be running this briefing? {19320}{19423}Colonel O'Neill is unavailable.|However, I have several computer models {19425}{19516}to help you understand|how the 302 handles in combat situations. {19518}{19655}No offence, but those won't help me|when I'm pulling 6G's in a dogfight. {19657}{19782}As you should know, Captain,|the 302 has inertial dampening systems {19784}{19879}which I am more than qualified|to explain in detail, so let's just... {19881}{19987}{Y:i}- (O'Neill) I just dropped by to say... Ow!|- Sir, please do not resist. {19989}{20039}..stay focused. {20041}{20088}- OK, I'm warning you.|- Sir... {20090}{20166}Didn't I just say I was warning you?|Hey! Ooh! {20168}{20233}That's it! Now I'm mad. {20269}{20324}You can release him. {20436}{20545}I'll forgo the charges|for assaulting a superior officer. {20547}{20597}Carter. {20644}{20719}- Could have taken 'em.|- I'm sure. {20721}{20779}Sorry I'm late. What'd I miss? {20781}{20846}We were covering|the 302's flight capabilities. {20848}{20898}Then here's what you need to know. {20900}{21013}- Major, is this a joke?|- No, this is... Colonel O'Neill. {21042}{21169}I'm only gonna say this once,|so I'd suggest that you listen up. {21171}{21206}- Whatever you say.|- Hey! {21208}{21330}I realise that it doesn't actually say|"Colonel" on my uniform, but it should. {21445}{21486}Yes, sir. {21551}{21647}Now, velocity is key|during engagement with a glider. {21649}{21736}Your instincts tell you to floor it|because it's more manoeuvrable, {21738}{21819}but you've got to stay in control. {21821}{21974}The inertial dampeners only compensate|90% when pulling negative G's, {21976}{22120}so the real trick is knowing your enemy,|so you can anticipate their next moves. {22148}{22198}OK. {22263}{22315}Death gliders 101 . {22406}{22471}May I ask why the United States Air Force {22473}{22582}has taken a renewed interest|in my story after 26 years? {22584}{22665}All I can tell you is that|we have some new information. {22667}{22757}- Will it prove my story true?|- Eventually. {22794}{22862}- Maybe.|- Please tell us what happened to you. {22884}{22998}I was asleep in my bed, and a light|appeared in my room and took me. {23008}{23107}{Y:i}- (Daniel) Took you where?|- Some kind of spacecraft, I suppose. {23109}{23209}{Y:i}I was weightless,|floating in midair, and yet... {23211}{23346}It was dark, cold. I couldn't move|a muscle even though I was wide awake. {23348}{23422}- After the light hit you, then what?|- The devices came. {23424}{23519}{Y:i}They were these green glowing balls|that floated around me. {23521}{23581}{Y:i}(man speaks Cantonese) {23583}{23664}After the small green spheres|stopped scanning him... {23666}{23742}{Y:i}- (Cantonese)|- ..they left him alone for a long while. {23744}{23823}{Y:i}(man speaks Cantonese) {23825}{23912}And then a voice spoke to him,|telling him not to be afraid, {23914}{24051}- and that he would soon be safe again.|- Did Professor Wu see who spoke to him? {24053}{24133}{Y:i}(interpreter speaks Cantonese) {24288}{24385}All the accounts are basically identical.|They match Jack's version of events. {24387}{24475}Except none of them experienced|any physical changes as a result. {24477}{24581}But everything else is bang on - taken|while sleeping, out-of-body experience. {24583}{24675}All this does sound familiar -|cliché even, if you watch enough TV. {24677}{24828}But they all described four green globes|buzzing around them like insects. {24830}{24903}That's too specific a detail|to be a coincidence. {24905}{25001}The being that abducted them - I assume|they described an Asgard as well. {25003}{25057}Short, big eyes, no hair, weird voice. {25059}{25174}The Asgard haven't responded|to our attempted communications. {25176}{25237}If help is coming, it better arrive soon. {25239}{25289}{Y:i}(electro-rock music) {25383}{25443}{Y:i}- (knocking)|- It's open. {25489}{25535}How are you doing? {25615}{25723}Well, I think I'm getting|another zit, and, uh... {25725}{25799}Oh! Yeah, I'm still a kid. {25801}{25911}But beyond that,|I'm doing just peachy, thanks. Why? {25959}{25999}Well... {26001}{26171}Janet just finished going over the genetic|team's analysis of your test results. {26173}{26230}How bad can it be? {26255}{26332}You're probably not feeling the effects yet, {26334}{26438}but something is happening to your body|at the cellular level. {26440}{26580}Basically your genetic structure's|growing more unstable... {26684}{26734}Colonel... {26775}{26827}you're dying. {27219}{27272}Honestly, I feel fine. {27274}{27356}You'll start to notice symptoms|as the condition worsens. {27358}{27439}- How long do I have?|- It's hard to say. {27480}{27538}Say it anyway. {27558}{27620}Weeks, days, I don't know. {27622}{27737}You'll notice fatigue first. In the end,|your body's vital organs will shut down. {27739}{27880}It's like something inside you|is causing a total system failure. {27905}{28019}I don't get it. We helped save|their skinny asses from the replicators, {28021}{28091}and as a thanks they shrink me|and leave me to die. {28093}{28169}We're exploring|every option we have, Colonel. {28171}{28238}We just need you to hang in there. {28365}{28440}Thanks for coming.|I'm sure it'll help coming from you. {28442}{28595}- How are Mark and the kids?|- Good. Great. I'll tell them you said hi. {28754}{28851}I'm sorry. Sam told me|what was going on, but... {28876}{28941}What could anyone possibly|hope to gain from this? {28943}{29022}Can we just, uh... get on with it? {29047}{29097}I'm not getting any younger. {29099}{29194}Well, as I told Sam,|our options are pretty limited. {29196}{29246}You came all this way to say goodbye? {29248}{29328}At this point, I'm here|to recommend we put you in stasis {29330}{29418}- until we understand your condition.|- You wanna freeze me. {29420}{29502}We're not talking about cryogenics|as we know it here on Earth. {29504}{29569}The risk involved is minimal. {29571}{29651}I've been down this road|with the Tok'ra before. {29653}{29756}No offence, Jacob, but the last time|you guys helped me out of a "jam", {29758}{29857}I ended up rescuing an old girlfriend|I'd never met before. {29859}{29956}We would never subject you to another|blending without your permission. {29958}{30030}Good. Cos it's never gonna happen. {30082}{30175}No pressure, Jack.|But you need to make a decision. {30177}{30236}We have a team standing by. {30238}{30288}But if you wait too long, {30290}{30379}we may not be able to reverse|the cellular breakdown. {30381}{30424}Colonel, please. {30557}{30616}It's your choice, Jack. {30664}{30770}- Can I have five minutes to think about it?|- You can have ten, Colonel. {31087}{31190}- Do you think he'll do it?|- If I have to drag him there myself. {31192}{31291}I didn't come all this way|to watch him die like this. {31414}{31485}We have a security breach,|level 25, guest quarters. {31585}{31635}{Y:i}(alarm) {32105}{32229}Security teams have swept the base|three times, inside and out. {32231}{32323}They've found nothing. I think|it's safe to assume he's no longer here. {32325}{32433}He knows the SGC as well as anyone.|If he wanted a way out, he'd find one. {32435}{32525}I've notified the authorities.|With any luck they'll find him soon. {32527}{32604}Sir? There's something|you all need to see. {32628}{32744}Go on home, kid, before I call the cops.|It's a school night, for cryin' out loud. {32746}{32804}How about lite beer? {32806}{32856}Gimme a break. {33146}{33201}Harley? {33236}{33296}- Excuse me?|- Yeah, Harlan Beck. {33329}{33396}You served in Operation Proven Force|out of Incirlik. {33398}{33488}Yeah, during the Gulf.|How'd you know that, kid? {33490}{33559}What, are you kidding? I ran... {33652}{33772}I mean, uh... my uncle|knew a Lieutenant Beck from the war. {33774}{33905}Said he was a stand-up guy.|Flew an AC-130 gunship over Baghdad. {33907}{33983}Then your uncle|had to be in the Special Ops. {33985}{34066}Yeah, he was. Colonel Jack O'Neill? {34104}{34217}You're Jack O'Neill's nephew?|I didn't know he had a sibling. {34256}{34321}Well... used to. {34353}{34478}Uncle Jack's been like a father to me|since my folks died. {34536}{34617}So how's old Jack doin', anyway? {34619}{34706}He's fine. He's not that old, either. {34742}{34845}Well, tell him... tell him|Harley said to watch his six. {34847}{34937}Hey. Yeah, uh... speaking of six... {34939}{35033}Look, seeing as how|you know my uncle and all, {35035}{35113}you think you could do me a little favour? {35297}{35396}Selmak has had a chance to digest|some of the DNA test results, {35398}{35483}and it seems Colonel O'Neill's condition|isn't what we thought. {35485}{35578}- He isn't dying?|- He is, but we think we know the cause. {35580}{35706}When we first compared the DNA|samples, the match was almost perfect. {35708}{35859}- You said there was a tiny abnormality.|- Yes. Selmak thinks he knows why. {35861}{35928}{Y:i}(distorted) This is not Colonel O'Neill. {35930}{35985}- But...|- He's a clone. {36226}{36291}I see. Keep me informed. {36384}{36444}No word yet on... {36482}{36560}{Y:i}What exactly do we call him at this point? {36585}{36647}Duplicate O'Neill? {36649}{36730}Sir, we think we have a clearer idea|of what might be going on. {36732}{36804}- Enlighten me.|- We know the Asgard clone themselves. {36806}{36923}They clone their bodies, then transfer|their consciousness from one to the next. {36925}{37008}They suffer from grave diseases|due to thousands of years of cloning. {37010}{37080}Leading to extinction|if they can't solve the problem {37082}{37168}of diminishing returns|in their cloning technology. {37170}{37230}What does this have to do|with Colonel O'Neill? {37232}{37312}We had the abductees' DNA|that Teal'c and I interviewed {37314}{37398}scanned for the same abnormalities|as Duplicate O'Neill. {37400}{37467}As far as we can tell,|none of them are clones. {37469}{37541}- Which means?|- In all likelihood, the Asgard responsible {37543}{37633}took the original people|and replaced them with duplicates. {37635}{37699}They study the originals|and then switch them back. {37701}{37804}You think whoever took the real|Colonel O'Neill is going to return him? {37806}{37851}It's all we've got, sir. {37853}{37941}We're hoping the fact that the clone|didn't mature is a mistake. {37943}{37983}What makes you think that? {37985}{38082}The previous actions of this Asgard|indicated his desire to remain covert. {38084}{38134}Jack's clone is a dead giveaway. {38136}{38226}The Asgard doesn't know there's|a problem or he'd have tried to fix it. {38228}{38305}They'll figure it out|when they try to switch him back. {38307}{38343}If they try to switch. {38345}{38453}If we don't track down the duplicate,|we may not get the real O'Neill back? {38455}{38589}We're sure the Asgard could find him|if he wants. That's not the real issue. {38591}{38645}We wish to apprehend the Asgard. {38647}{38730}Intercepting the next switch|may be our only shot. {38732}{38766}{Y:i}(buzzer) {38785}{38840}{Y:i}- Hammond.|- General Hammond, sir. {38842}{38964}{Y:i}I have a Lieutenant Colonel Beck from|the 10th Air Base Wing on the line for you. {38966}{39038}{Y:i}- It has to do with Colonel O'Neill.|- Patch him through. {39040}{39087}{Y:i}Yes, sir. {39406}{39503}Unless you brought beer,|that's close enough. {39545}{39630}Colonel, we need you|to come back with us. {39632}{39671}How'd you find me? {39673}{39788}Lieutenant Colonel Beck called General|Hammond and placed you in the area. {39790}{39861}A man from whom you bought bait|recommended this river. {39863}{39955}Tell Jacob thanks, but I'm|not interested in the deep-freeze deal. {39957}{40038}We're not here to take you to the Tok'ra.|There may not be much time. {40040}{40116}- Never is, is there?|- OK. Well... {40141}{40215}There's no easy way to tell you this, so... {40217}{40315}Sam's just gonna|come right out and say it. {40317}{40418}Well, sir, as you know, the Asgard|depend on a cloning technology... {40420}{40465}Oh, for cryin' out loud! {40502}{40573}You have been cloned, O'Neill. {40575}{40600}What? {40602}{40734}We think the Asgard took the real you|and made a copy - an unstable one at that. {40762}{40818}The "real" me? {40843}{40986}Yeah, the original. That's not|your "real" anything. I'm sorry. {41089}{41154}Where's the original? {41156}{41257}That's what we hope to find out.|But we need your help. {41443}{41512}We've calculated a seven-day gap|between abductions, {41514}{41566}which puts us at tonight. {41568}{41634}This plan sucks. {41699}{41788}Look, I know you don't think|I am who I am, {41790}{41869}but as far as I'm concerned, I am... {41908}{41957}who I am. {41980}{42065}The switch is our only chance|of capturing whoever's behind this. {42067}{42138}What about the fact|that this body is dying? {42140}{42250}Has anyone even thought|about that for a second? {42300}{42369}Oh. I see. {42394}{42500}You don't care, as long as|you get the original back. {42540}{42613}We just... We don't know|what else to do for you. {42615}{42686}Perhaps the Asgard responsible|can correct his mistake. {42688}{42755}Fine. Give me a nine-mil.|I'll get it out of the sucker. {42757}{42817}We don't know who or what|we might be facing yet. {42819}{42950}Exactly why you can't just|use me as bait and hang me out to dry. {42984}{43039}You'll never intercept an Asgard beam. {43041}{43162}The only chance you have|of capturing this guy is me. {43231}{43290}Come on. {43376}{43427}A zat gun. {43452}{43500}Thank you, sir. {43745}{43806}Carter, you still got your ears on? {43808}{43881}- Yes, sir.|- Daniel? Teal'c? {43903}{44000}{Y:i}- Everything appears to be normal, O'Neill.|- Yeah? Not to me. {44002}{44049}Wanna go over the instructions again? {44051}{44150}Don't worry, Carter.|I'm sure I'll figure it out. {44477}{44531}Colonel, you all right? {44533}{44609}Jack! Jack! {44623}{44673}O'Neill. {44915}{44990}What are you all doing in my bedroom? {45235}{45310}Hello. Do not be afraid. {45642}{45680}{Y:i}(groans) {45771}{45867}- I assume this is important.|- Just a little, sir. {46164}{46200}OK. {46225}{46280}Wrong console. {46364}{46464}Far right jewel thingy... up. {46539}{46574}Ah! And three o'clock. {46576}{46643}I was having the weirdest dream. {46754}{46834}You see, Carter?|Told you it was no problem. {47070}{47130}What's goin' on? {47163}{47288}Wow. You know, I'm really|much taller than I think. {47377}{47403}Carter? {47424}{47521}Colonel O'Neill, meet... Colonel O'Neill. {47636}{47746}- What's goin' on?|- We're pretty sure this Asgard over here {47748}{47845}kidnapped you and attempted|to replace you with a clone. {47847}{47902}How long was I asleep? {47904}{47987}- Seven days.|- It's a record. {47989}{48027}So you're... {48029}{48055}- You.|- ..me? {48057}{48214}Yeah. Believe me, if you think it's weird,|imagine how I feel being the copy. {48298}{48358}He has awakened. {48543}{48631}- What's happening?|- We were kinda hoping you could tell us. {48633}{48722}- No, no, no. This is all wrong.|- Hey! {48760}{48813}I'll tell you what's wrong. {48815}{48927}I just woke up, I haven't had coffee,|let alone a pee in seven days, {48929}{49058}and I find out you stole my ass|and made a... mini-me. {49175}{49264}Carter, I should be irked currently, yes? {49284}{49339}Yes, I would be. {49411}{49504}- Why don't you tell us who you are?|- Loki. {49523}{49617}According to Norse mythology,|that's the god of mischief. {49619}{49723}- What did you want with Colonel O'Neill?|- I have nothing more to say to any of you. {49725}{49828}Hey! We just saved your flat little|white asses from the replicators. {49830}{49920}- This is the thanks we get?|- At least you're gonna live. {49945}{49984}What? {49986}{50142}Maybe you're a little put out. But this guy|didn't hit the right buttons on the Xerox. {50163}{50271}This body is gonna fall apart|if he doesn't fix me. {50273}{50373}I cannot. All the clones|suffer the same fate. {50399}{50478}OK. I'm going back|to my original question. {50480}{50542}What's going on? {50544}{50657}I am a scientist, a former geneticist|with the Asgard Ruling Council. {50659}{50713}- Former?|- I was stripped of my stature {50715}{50809}after I was caught performing|unsanctioned experiments on humans. {50811}{50874}What, you've got sanctioned ones? {50876}{50996}I had the courage to do what was needed|to advance our cloning technology. {50998}{51091}Instead of courage,|some might call it a lack of morality. {51093}{51186}Our population cannot withstand|the duplication process for much longer. {51188}{51252}How can experimenting on humans|change that? {51254}{51370}Your bodies are similar to|our original form thousands of years ago. {51372}{51433}Using your physical make-up|as a template, {51435}{51587}I hoped to construct a clone that could|contain our massively superior intellect. {51589}{51697}- My research was unsuccessful.|- So much for massively superior intellect. {51699}{51775}{Y:i}- I was gonna say that.|- I was going to say {51777}{51867}it was unsuccessful prior to|my being caught and banished. {51869}{52027}- I would have found what I needed.|- Why risk coming back after 19 years? {52029}{52117}Because I thought he was the one. {52139}{52195}- Me?|- Me? {52197}{52280}I believed his genetic code|contained the key. {52282}{52308}- Mine?|- Mine? {52310}{52347}Stop it. {52349}{52448}He was physiologically advanced enough|to carry and utilise all the data {52450}{52517}from the Ancients'|repository of knowledge - {52519}{52595}impossible for any human|one generation ago. {52597}{52676}He is a significant step forward|on your evolutionary path. {52678}{52803}- You just found this out recently?|- I learned it when all the Asgard did. {52805}{52855}O'Neill is legendary. {52857}{52957}The Asgard fleet has been distracted|by the war with the replicators {52959}{53027}and subsequent relocation of our people. {53049}{53137}So you took the opportunity when|no one was looking to sneak back here. {53139}{53254}I do not regret my actions.|I am trying to save my people. {53271}{53348}Look, I know this isn't all about me,|but come on. {53350}{53462}- Seriously, I'm dyin' here.|- I cannot reverse your fate. {53464}{53585}Nor can I explain why you did not mature|to the proper age as you should have. {53587}{53676}Well, easy to see why|they kicked you out of the science club. {53678}{53750}All right, I've heard enough. {53794}{53832}Carter! {53877}{53946}Can you call Thor on this thing? {53965}{54083}- Please, do not.|- We've tried contacting the Asgard. {54094}{54192}- You'd think if Thor knew about this...|- OK, pretty sure that's it. {54496}{54583}All right, how long are we going... {54585}{54649}You all right? {54699}{54749}Actually, no. {54751}{54832}What do we do if Thor doesn't show up? {54896}{54930}Never mind. {54932}{55001}Well, it's about time. {55003}{55075}I apologise for not coming sooner. {55106}{55154}Loki, what have you done? {55156}{55255}Seems he's been playing Dr Moreau|behind your back. {55257}{55307}Yes. Dr Moreau. {55309}{55372}- You know why I am here.|- You should have known {55374}{55461}O'Neill's genetic coding|was safeguarded for his own protection. {55463}{55507}Excuse me? {55509}{55663}A marker was placed in your DNA to|prevent attempts at genetic manipulation. {55665}{55753}- The abnormality.|- That's why the clone didn't mature. {55755}{55846}Yes. Loki will be punished for his actions. {55848}{55951}Is it true that Colonel O'Neill is the key|to solving your cloning problems? {55953}{55995}No. {55997}{56083}- But I thought I was advanced.|- Indeed you are, O'Neill. {56085}{56153}But our scientists|have already determined {56155}{56242}that while you are an important step|forward in the evolutionary chain, {56244}{56346}the missing link we have been|searching for still eludes us. {56348}{56375}I'm sorry. {56377}{56488}Again, I apologise for any inconvenience|Loki may have caused. {56490}{56548}Yeah, that's what I'd call it. {56550}{56687}Unfortunately, the eventual genetic|breakdown of the clone is not my doing, {56689}{56757}but rather a result of Loki's inept methods. {56759}{56872}There was no need|for the clones to survive. {57048}{57098}Look, Thor. {57100}{57227}Is there anything you can do for him?|The whining's starting to grate. {57229}{57323}- You wish your clone to live?|- You can't just let me die. {57444}{57536}- He's just a kid.|- Are you certain, O'Neill? {57633}{57683}I'm thinking. {57757}{57806}- Yeah.|- Very well. {57817}{57895}I will attempt to repair his DNA. {57897}{58037}If successful, he should continue|to mature at a normal human rate. {58239}{58289}Thanks. {59053}{59105}You sure about this? {59130}{59205}I've thought a lot about it. {59207}{59374}You know, you... me. I mean,|we never really did embrace high school. {59464}{59557}Haven't you ever wanted to go back|and do it all over again, {59559}{59629}especially with all you know now? {59703}{59753}No. {59776}{59874}Well, from here on in|you and me are different. {59876}{59938}Which is why I'm gonna do this. {60044}{60116}Hey, listen. Do me a favour, huh? {60133}{60209}Don't worry, I wasn't gonna keep in touch. {60211}{60286}- Yeah, it'd just be a little...|- Weird. {60288}{60338}Weird, yeah. {60340}{60370}Yeah. {60392}{60451}But if you need anything, just... {60453}{60546}The air force has set me up. I'll be fine. {60556}{60645}You sure about this?|I mean, it's high school. {60805}{60897}Yes. Go forth, young man. {61398}{61448}{Y:i}(school bell)
