"23.976" "Previously on Stargate SG1" "Come back and join SG1." " I have my reasons for wanting this job." " What if the world needs saving?" " If the world needs saving, I will be there to do what I can." " The bracelets create a physiological bond between the wearers." " They were used by the Goa'uld." " Jackson." " Jackson?" " You were completely unresponsive when we brought you in, but your condition suddenly improved when she came back." " Miss me?" " Who is that?" " A gentleman who claims that he represents some God's called the Ori." " There are as many humans out there as there are Jaffa." " If we don't continue to work together, the victory we worked so long and hard for, could result in chaos." "  You show no fear Lat'al." "  He is one man." " What is there to fear?" " He promised retribution if we did not bow to their Gods upon his return." " The Jaffa have shed too much blood to replace one false God with another." " We have made our decision and we will tell him." " Have you come alone?" " The Ori are with me always." " You have read from the book of Origin?" " We have." " What say you to the promise of the Ori." " We will hear no more of false Gods." " Go now and we will spare your life." " You speak for all?" " We do." " One way or another, this world will serve their purpose!" " Jaffa!" " Stargate SG-1 **Beachhead**" "English subtitles created by Slay007 version 1.00" "Unscheduled offworld activation!" "  What have we got, Chief?" "  Receiving a message sir." " It's text only." " It's in Goa'uld." " None of you folks read Goa'uld, do you?" " You boys aren't going to let people from two different planets beat you at your own silly game are you?" "  This silly game isn't over yet." "  That's my wingman." " You need a new wingman." "  I'm gonna kick your ass!" "  Promises, promises." " As you were, Colonel." " Actually, I was looking for Teal'c." " We received a communicae from a Goa'uld named Nerus." " Ring any bells?" " I am aware of his identity." " He was a minor Goa'uld who served Baal for many centuries." " What can you tell me about him?" "  Honestly, you don't want to know." "  Honestly, I do." " Why?" " What do you say we go with the idea that I'm in charge and I've asked a simple question?" " Nerus defines avarice and gluttony." " Simple answer?" " He is a Goa'uld known for his many appetites." " He's also known as an inventor responsible for a host of Goa'uld technologies." " Really?" " That's when I started paying attention to him, too." " Weird as it sounds, he's offering to work for us." " Nerus is not to be trusted." " Hmmm, funny." " He had nice things to say about you." " No, he really did." " He said some very nice things." " I would consider it a great honour to meet the heroes of the Tauri, who brought the Goa'uld to their knee's." " Well, that is nice." " No, he's disgusting." " You can't honestly open the doors to a pathetic, minor Goa'uld, posing as one of the big boy's." " Well at least promise me you're intending on torturing him." " We're setting him up in the VIP suite." "  No." "  Yes." " Sir, if you don't mind my asking, why?" " Well, according to his communicae, he's in possession of military intelligence of the utmost urgency." " Sounded like it was worth a listen." " Still!" " Why throw in with us?" " Why not stay with Baal or work for some other Goa'uld?" " Well, look at it in terms of optics." " We must look like major players now." " By defeating Anubis." " Most of the System Lords were killed by the Replicators, then we defeated the Replicators." " Wow, we look cool." " Don't let it go to your head." " Have you seen this list of dietary requirements?" " Already taken care of." " Ripened Traquil eggs?" " We got eggs." " I don't know if they're ripe or not." " SG3 is with him on a neutral planet, doing a security check as we speak." " As soon as they give the green light, I want you to.." "Offworld activation!" " Speak of the devil." " He's clean sir." " Thankyou SGT, we'll take it from here." " I am Nerus." " Major General Hank Landry." " I'm in command of Stargate.." "Yes, I'm sure you're a very important person and you had very important reasons for subjecting me to your security precautions." " But to meet you." " To look upon the face of the one." " The one what?" " The one who inspired the great uprising, of course." " The time of false Gods is at an end and no small part because of this man!" " Dr Daniel Jackson!" " It is rumoured among the Goa'uld, that you alone defeated Anubis." " Is that true?" " Where'd you hear that?" " Oh, I hear everything." " Lt Col Cameron Mitchell." " The leader of SG1." "  But you, you're not..." " No." "  Will he be here?" "  No!" " And you're not even Colonel Carter, are you?" " This isn't at all the way I imagined it." " Nerus, if you'd follow us to our Briefing Room." " We have much to discuss." " Yes, yes." " But first I must have sustenance." " Have you met all my dietary requirements?" " As much as humanly possible." " Good, good, because I'm positively famished." " Mmmmm!" " No shades [Pips?" "]!" " How is that possible?" " It's a state secret, but we're willing to negotiate." " That's impossible, but delicious." " Mmmm." " Mmmmm." " Still, still we have important matters to discuss." " Your voice....just changed." " Oh, we don't have to talk that way." " This is a device that I invented." " What you're about to see, occurred nearly two day's ago." " Now the free Jaffa who claim this planet called Calonna..." "What was that?" " The formation of an extremely large forcefield around the planet's stargate." " Believe it." " And you're sharing this information with us, because?" " Why are you so surprised?" " We joined forces to destroy the Replicators." " I have no recollection of your participation." " Teal'c!" " You wound me!" " I was the one who figured out how to activate all the Stargate's in the galaxy at once!" " Didn't Baal mention that to you?" " That is so like him." " Isn't it though?" " It's alright." " Your adversaries call themselves the Ori." " We know all about the Ori." " Yes, well thus far I detect only a single individual, no doubt a Prior, inside the forcefield, but it is expanding." " Then it will soon be able to accomodate entire armies." " Yes, and further more, the Stargate itself has not shut down since it opened." " Wait a minute." " You say this happened two day's ago?" " Yes." " 38 minutes is the maximum time a Stargate can stay open." " That's a law of wormhole physics." " Not according to the Ori." " Which means they have a power source which can indefinitely maintain a wormhole from another galaxy, ... plus this forcefield." " A ZPM can't even do that." " How are we to do battle with an enemy so powerful." " With my help?" " Every forcefield has a weakness and I'm confident that I shall find it." " Sir, if this intel is correct, it represents a complete change of tactics." " We'll have to respond." " I agree, Colonel." " But if this Calowna is a Jaffa world, I'm not sure how this is our fight." " Not your fight?" " You engineered the downfall of the Goa'uld." " This is very much a galaxy of your own making...." "General." " And you must take responsibility." " What would you have us do?" " Attack them as quickly as possible with as much force as you can bring to bear." " This is nothing short of an invasion, General." " Like it or not, we're in a state of war." " Jack, Jack!" " Jack, she practically invented the mark nine and you're the one who thinks we should use the damn thing." " Why are you wasting valuable time saying no?" " I've read enough of your SG1 mission reports,to know that there were times when no-one else but Samantha Carter could have pulled your ass out of the fire." " Well this is one of those ti...." "Reporting as ordered sir." " Yeah." " She's standing right here." " You're a funny man, Jack." " Very funny." " Chevron 4 encoded." " I promise you he's lying." "  Oh, which part?" "  All of it." " Chevron 5 encoded." " Yet we have been unable to dial the co-ordinates to calowna despite several attempts." " Goa'uld don't do anything for anyone, other than themselves." " Chevron 6 encoded." " Maybe it's in his own interests to stop the Ori." " Chevron 7 still will not lock." " Alright, we've tried that long enough." " Colonel Carter?" " We've revised the original plans slightly, to expedite matters." " The Prometheus is enroute and will rendevous with us at P4C-452." " We proceed to calowna from there." " Now considering their unique ability to maintain an active stargate indefinitely and their forcefield capabilities, ...the President has authorised any and all means, to complete the mission." " Oh boy." " And here I was trying to have a nuke free career." " We've been developinig something at Area 51, that General O'Neill believes will be our best chance to stop them, right here, right now." " But you don't agree." " I agree we have to try." " I just don't think it'll be enough." " It's what we've got." " Questions!" " No sir." " Still no response from the Jaffa council?" " None as of yet." " Well, we can't wait for Gerak." " We proceed as planned." " Chief, dial the gate!" "  Yes sir!" "  Move out!" " Well, temporary or not, it's good to have you back." " How good is this?" " We've got the band back together." " Uh sir, what's with the extra backup singer?" " Ah, she's good fun." " Plus, we figured if Jackson were to..." "Die." " Yeah, that's the word." " It would jeopardise the mission." " Well when we spoke a couple of weeks ago, you said the effects of the bracelets was wearing off." " It was." " I just didn't want to put it to a test from the other side of the galaxy, so..." "Wow!" " Just dying to get rid of me now, aren't you?" " No!" " I'm not dying..." "Oh no, I know I'm not welcome here." " Despite all my efforts to fit into your little stargating club, you can all rest assured, ...that as soon as I can safely part Daniel's company without killing the both of us, I will." " Oh, and you!" " You will wish you had listened to me when I said, letting the Goa'uld come here was a mistake!" " Get to it and good luck!" " Alight, let's do this." " Request permission to come aboard!" " Shaft!" " Welcome to the Prometheus." " Thankyou Colonel" "Shaft?" " My call sign." " Cam...." "Shaft." " Oh." " Yeah." " Disappointing, isn't it?" " Flight Deck, this is Pendergast." " SG1 is aboard." " Engage hyperdrive and proceed to Calonna at best possible speed." " Is the mark nine ready to go?" " Standing by for your systems check I hear you're in a hurry." " You heard correctly." " What is a mark nine, exactly?" " It's also known as a gate buster." "  Sounds big." "  Some might say, too big." " Really?" " I've always thought there's no such thing." "  Vala this is a military vessel?" "  I know darling, I've stolen it before." "  Just try to be uh..." " My charming self?" " Let's see, a little less talk a little more, shut the hell up." " General!" " Join me for a glass of wine!" " It's from a place called France." " I'm on duty." " What is this?" " It's exquisite." " What is it?" " Chicken!" " Chicken?" " It's a rare delicacy among our people." " Mmmm." " It's exquisite." " I want more chicken!" " More chicken!" " I'll try to pull some strings." " Nerus, this arrangement is only going to work if you actually do something to help with this problem." " I was working." " I, I, I was deep in thought when you walked in." "  Yeah, I could see that." "  You don't trust me!" " Course I don't trust you." " Now." " Here's the latest transmission from my satellite." " And you can see, the forcefield continues to expand in phases and as it does so, it weakens considerably." " Enough to penetrate with our beaming technology?" " Yes, with those nuclear devices that you were talking about." " Or SG1." " They could talk to this Prior, face to face." " Why, why, why would they do that?" " We resort to force, only when necessary." " Oh, I assure you it will be." " It will be, General." " And, and with the most powerful weapons in your arsenal." " I'll forward this new information, directly to Prometheus, and uh, I'll see if I can arrange some more chicken." " Do!" " Sir, we received an encrypted databurst from Stargate Command the moment we came out of hyperspace." " Decode it immediately." " Are we picking up any other weapons in the system?" " Negative sir." " Can we get a closer look at the surface?" " You can already see the extent of the incursion with the naked eye." " My God, it's enormous!" "  Not everything I see is in the window." "  We can all see, thankyou." " It's increased by almost 900% since our original intel." " What of the Jaffa, Colonel Carter?" " I'm sorry Teal'c." " I'm not detecting any lifesigns outside of the forcefield." " Inside?" " Just one." " Prior." " I don't know how he's managing it." " According to these readings, the atmosphere inside the field has become toxic." " Probably because of the Jaffa weapon's fire on the forcefield." " Send a subspace message to Stargate Command." " We are over the enemy beachhead." " You do realise that no matter how nicely we ask them, they're not all that likely to stop." "  Then why are we going down there?" "  Well you're going because I'm going." " And we're going because we have orders." " Thanks to Nerus." " Doesn't that alarm anyone?" " Well, our government believes we need to send the Ori a message." " Indeed." " The Ori need to be made aware of the fact that they are not welcome." " Well some of you are certainly expert in getting that message across." " SG1 this is the Flight Deck." " Our people are expecting an expansion phase to occur anytime in the next few minutes." " Understood." " If Nerus is correct, we should be able to punch through with a transport beam." " And if not?" " Then we're all dressed up with nowhere to go." " Your return window will be roughly 16 seconds, once on the surface." " After which time, you'll be committed until the next expansion phase in about half an hour." "  I'll be monitoring from the bridge." "  Thanks." " Let's do this." " Stand by mode in 3, 2, 1, mark." " Good luck." " Set." " The weapon is now in mode 2." " We are good till the next window." " How can he breathe?" " Perhaps he has a personal shield of some kind." " Nice." "  Yo!" " My name is Lt Col Cameron Mitchell." "  I know who you are." " Yeah, he just told you his name." " I also know you will do everything in your power to stop us." " Obvious." " You will fail." " The Ori are more powerful than you." " Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." " Look, here's the thing." " We're not here to talk to you." " We're here to talk to the guy's you take orders from." " The Ori are all seeing." " Great!" " In that case." " We have in our possession, a mark nine naquadriah enhanced nuclear warhead, which was designed solely for the purpose of vapourising stargates and anything else in a 100 mile radius." " If you attempt to disable this warhead, physically, electronically or otherwise, it willresult in an immediate detonation." " Now we have a number of these God awful things at our disposal and we will not hesitate to use them if necessary." " If you do not disengage the stargate within 30 of our Earth minutes, we will shut down the gate for you." " Go ahead." " Uh, we know who and what you are and want no part of what you have to offer." " If you attempt this on any other planet in this galaxy, we will find you and we will fight you." " That's it?" " I just gave him 30 minutes." " 29 minutes." " Earth minutes?" "  Yeah, I've always wanted to say that." "  Well, now you have." " Sure hope they shut down that gate before we have to set this thing off." " That would appear to be highly unlikely, Colonel Mitchell." " I know!" " It's naive, even for you." " Detonating the largest warhead ever built by man is not exactly the historical footbump that I had in mind." " Not to mention the guilt you're gonna feel for vapourising a perfectly good stargate." " And that guy." " Ah, he's probably looking forward to it." " Hey Prior!" " You understand that you're within a 100 mile radius and that personal shield ain't gonna help you." " Death is only the beginning of the real journey." " Sounds familiar." " It should sound familiar, Doctor Jackson." " When I die, I will ascend." " It is the promise of the Ori." " Even if you fail your task?" " What the hell is that?" " Lt?" " There was no warning sir." " They started firing, the second they came out of hyperspace." " It's damn fortunate they're not firing at us." " Open communications." " Two Jaffa vessels, this is the Earth ship Prometheus." " We request that you hold your fire we have people down there!" " I repeat!" " SG1 is on the planet attempting to negotiate an Ori withdrawal." " Cease fire now!" " The forcefield is being fired upon by Hatak vessels." "  Why are they doing that?" "  Can we get them to stop doing that?" " Oh, this could be bad." " The mark nine's fuse in mode 2 is a wee bit twitchy." " You mean, it could go off?" " They stopped firing." " Sir?" " The forcefield is entering an expansion phase ahead of predicted time." " This is Pendergast." " I want SG1 brought back onboard as soon as we can beam them through the forcefield." " SG1." " Prepare for immediate extraction." " The weapon is now in mode 1." " Prometheus, we are ready to beam up." " Prior!" " Last chance!" " I am Gerak, of the free Jaffa." " Why have you come here?" " It's an honour to speak with you sir." " My name is Lt Col Samantha Carter." " By insisting that we cease fire on the enemy stronghold and you've allowed it to expand even further and we've lost the element of surprise." " And quite possibly saved the lives of SG1." " I ask you again." " Why have you come to this world?" " We have reason to believe that the Ori are attempting to use this planet to stage a full scale invasion." " And you hope to repel this invasion with words?" " There is more to this." " Words are often the most powerful weapon of all Gerak." " The old way's will not stop an adversary as powerful as the Ori." " So you said in your message to the High Council, Teal'c." " To which we received no response." " We had no choice but to act on the information we had." " And how is it that the Tauri received this information even before the council?" " Uh, how we got this information is not important." " What is important is that we stand together as allies, in the face of our common enemy." " You said you've come to fight." " We have!" " I dispatched a scout in a cloaked cargo ship." " He tell's me you have done nothing!" " We're sending the Ori a message which they should receive in about ten seconds." " Shields to maximum!" " Gerak, I suggest you give the same order aboard your ships." " There will be a blast range." " Jaffa!" " Five seconds." " Sir, the forcefield went into another expansion phase just as the bomb detonated." " And it's a big one." " What is happening?" " The forcefield continues to expand." "  It isn't supposed to be doing that, is it?" " No." "  Why is it doing that?" "  I don't know." "  What are you gonna do about it?" "  Will you shut up?" " That was a multi gigatonne detonation." " There's just no way." " Maybe the gate was destroyed." " No." " If the field is still expanding, the gate still has to be active." " The environment inside the field has been turned into super heated plasma." " Makes it impossible to get a reliable reading." " And this is your message to the Ori?" " Pithy, wasn't it?" " We struck the enemy with our most powerful weapon." "  And yet their forcefield grows." "  That was not our intention." " Their beachhead must be destroyed." " If you are truly our ally, you will join us in this attack." " If you do not, your ship will become our next target." " The detonation did weaken the forcefield." " Our combined weapons fire might just finish the job." " If not, we will soon be engaged in battle with Gerak's forces." " We just don't have enough information." " Until I can explain how they're keeping the gate open or powering a forcefield this large." " It's your call." " I say we run away and rethink the whole thing." " Open up with everything we've got." " Bring the main rail gun online." " Commence firing." " Launch missiles." " Is the fire having any effect?" " Forcefield is definitely strength." " But it's still expanding at a faster rate than it's weakening." " It's almost enveloped the entire planet." " What happens then?" " Dammit!" "  What?" "  What?" " Colonel, we need to cease fire now!" " Now!" " Do it!" " The greater the intensity of our weapons fire, the greater and more frequent their expansion phase is." " There is a direct correlation." " They're using the energy of our own weapons to build their beachhead." " You mean they planned this?" " There's no way to project the necessary power through a Stargate, across galaxies." " So they designed a forcefield that could be powered by our own weapons." " The Ori knew the Jaffa on Calonna would defend their homeworld and others would follow." " And Nerus made certain we'd join in." " Which means he's working for the Ori." " The mark nine gave them almost 70% of the power they needed to envelop the entire planet." "  Oh yeah, we've been set up." "  What a complete shock!" " I won't say another word." "  Gerak's forces must also cease fire." "  Open communications." " Too late." " I'm reading activity on the surface." " We've got incoming." " Three objects and counting." " Bearing 180." " Rising from the planet's surface from the coordinates of the stargate and accelerating." " Shields to maximum." " Why have you ceased fire?" " We have reason to believe our weapons may power the enemy forcefield." " Impossible!" " Well that's what I thought, but it's the only explanation." " Gerak, they used both of us!" " Multiple contacts on multiple bearings, sir." " What the hell are they?" " They're about ten metres long." " But censors read no internal space, no lifesigns aboard." " Rear guns to defensive fire mode!" " Stand by to launch fighters." " One of them is on a collision course." " I can confirm that." " 1000 metres.  500." " Sublight engines to emergency thrust." " Brace for impact!" " Damage report!" " There's a hull breach on the hangar deck." " Shields are down to 20%." " Return fire." " All positions." " Sensors are down." " Take us out of orbit." " We can't stay here." " I wanna know what you sent my people into." " General, I've been expecting you." " These eggs, they're not properly ripe." " I asked you a question!" " SGT!" " Oh." " They say all good meals come to an end." " I assume General, that by now, SG1 has reported that the Ori, the closest thing to true God's in the entire universe, have successfully established a permanent foothold." " What did you do?" " Oh, it's not what I did, General." " What I have done pales in comparison to your contribution." " And by now, the forcefield has almost entirely enveloped the planet." " Which makes them unstoppable." " And we couldnt' have done it without you." " Two of my ships have been destroyed and my own flagship has been damaged." " We must withdraw." " We too have suffered damage, Gerak, but the battle is not yet over." " Our sensors tell us that the planet has begun to collapse." " I cannot tell you to what extent." " If you choose to remain to find out, know that your actions will be watched." " Hey!" " We're on the same side here!" " We shall see." " What is he talking about?" " He's leaving." " We've got the sensors back up, but we're gonna have to get closer to the planet to find out." " Right, bring us about." " Take us back into the system." " Ok, I've got a fix on the planet." " Looks like Gerak was right." " According to the sensors, it's diameter has decreased by 16%." " Planet's don't shrink, in my experience." " Uh, there's something else." " What is that?" " A ship?" " It's hard to say." " Whatever it is, I think it's composed of the objects that came through the Stargate." "  Doesn't that look an awful lot like a..." " Yeah, it does." " In fact, I think that's just what it is." " No, it can't be, cos I was gonna say, Stargate." " Try supergate." " I estimate it's about 3 to 400 metres across." " Large enough for passage of their entire Armada." " It's incomplete." " There's still time." " Time?" " Time to do what?" " When everything we've done has just made things worse." " The planet's diameter has now decreased by up to 50% and it's accelerating rapidly." " I think I know why." " Only one thing in the universe could power a gate that size." " It's also the only thing that would allow them to keep the gate open this long." " And there's one on the other end." " A black hole." " That's what the forcefield was for." " It wasn't mean't to keep us out, it was designed to collapse the planet into one micro singularity." " Why?" " Well, this is how they can create a wormhole that can span such a vast distance." " With a black hole at either end they can maintain an open wormhole indefinitely." " Fine, fine." " How do we stop it?" " I have an idea." " If we could..." "The next idea that anybody comes up with, has to be outside the box!" " Ok, the gate is composed of individual blocks." " There must be some sort of energy link between them." " Like uh, like a chain." " Exactly!" " So we..." "So we need a big ole set of bolt cutters." " Oooh!" " Too far outside the box." " Get closer to the box!" " Planetary collapse is speeding up exponentially." " I estimate singularity formation is minutes away and there will be a significant shockwave." " Whatever we're gonna do, we have to do it now." " Sir?" " Somebody just activated the ring transporter." " What?" " Oh no." " Hey!" " Don't leave without me." " Vala!" " Where the hell are you?" " Oh, you care now!" " Vala!" " I'm aboard the cloaked cargo ship that Gerak left behind to watch us." " How did you find it?" " Good guess?" " Look, the tones are set a certain way." " Rings seek out the nearest set, which happen to be aboard this cargo ship, cloaked or not." " What are you doing?" " Trying to help, Daniel." " Someone had to do something and you wouldn't listen." " Actually, I got the idea from Colonel Carter." " The objects are being held in some sort of energy field like links in a chain... and I intend to take the place of the last link." " Vala, when that singularity forms, there will be a powerful shockwave." " The cargo ship won't survive." " I'm counting on it." " I'll ring back before it hits." " Then you can all thank me immensely." " Shields to maximum." " She's running out of time." " Alright." " It's working." " She disrupted the energy field holdingthe objects in place." " The singularity is forming." " She did it." " The gate's been destroyed." " Did Vala make it back onboard?" " Negative sir." " Jackson!" " Infirmary" "Get a message to Stargate Command." " The Ori beachhead has been destroyed." " There's still time to repent, General." " The Ori are forgiving." " That won't be necessary." " SG1 has destroyed the Ori beachhead." " You're lying." " I'm not." " I witnessed their power, General." " Power that will one day be mine." " And if what you say is true, you have merely forestalled the inevitable." " And, when you put me to death for what I have done, I shall ascend." " No, you will descend to a small dark room in the basement of Area 51 and you'll stay there till you come up with a defence against the Ori." " That was our deal." " What would possibly compel me to do that?" " Hunger." "  You know, these Ori are just going to try it again." "  Probably." " Sam, I could sure use someone like you on the front line." " Just think about it." " Hey, Jackson!" " Sorry, I keep falling asleep." " Well, it's better than the alternative." " You're lucky the bracelet's affect was wearing off." " Yeah, lucky me." " Vala Mal Doran will be mourned." " I've been going over the telemetry from the last few seconds before the formation of the singularity." " A matter stream left the cargo ship just before it exploded." " There's at least a slight chance that it was pulled into the singularity." " So you're saying she could be alive, somewhere in the Ori home galaxy." " It's possible." " Well!" " We wanted to send them a message."
