Stargate SG-1

Previously, on Stargate SG-1.

Merlin?

King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table Merlin?

Yes. Was an Ancient?

I think so.

What does this have to do with where this alleged treasure is buried?

Certain threads point to the Knights of the Round Table.

Gathering great treasures from the far corners of Arthur's domain

and hiding them in a magical stronghold at Avalon.

All free Jaffa

have always had the greatest respect

for the warriors of the Sodan.

Granting my freedom changes nothing, Mitchell.

We will meet again.

You are still working on that thing.

Oh, hi.

Did you sleep here last night?

Of course not.

I slept down the hall in my quarters.

Sam.

This device was recovered from the cave under Glastonbury.

Who knows what Ancient secrets it may hold.

Well, obviously not you or Dr. Lee,

who's been working on that thing for, what, six months?

I think it's time we let the eggheads at Area 51 take a crack at it.

Not yet.

I, I'm actually making some progress here.

That's what you said last night.

And I'm hankering for hash browns.

So let's go grab some breakfast.

Hey, this is interesting.

This is the first time one of my verification scans kicked back a positive result.

Does this mean I'm not getting my hash browns?

It means this device is interactive.

I'm reading an EM output that keeps fluctuating

between high and low frequencies.

I'm gonna try to stabilize it.

Sure. What have you got to lose?

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

What just happened?

Nicely done.

Can you read that?

My Ancient's a little rusty.

Right. We need Jackson.

Hey, Bill, good timing. Take a look at this.

Yo, dog, amazing discovery over here.

Bill, you okay?

Oh! What the hell?

What was that?

I don't know.

Okay, you're solid.

It's the device.

By initiating it,

we must have triggered some sort of localized effect.

Local meaning you and me?

Yeah.

Try picking up that coffee cup.

Oh, boy. We need to find Daniel.

"Out of phase." What does that mean?

It means we may have shifted to an alternate dimension.

And there are an infinite number of alternate dimensions.

No, no, no. That's alternate realities.

So, when the other SG-1 showed up...

Completely different problem.

See, according to M-theory, that unites the five superstring theories,

there are several spatial dimensions.

11, actually, that exist in parallel with our physical realities.

Now, these higher dimensions...

No, I'll take your word for it.

That was alternate reality. This is alternate dimension.

Hell, all I need is a good time travel adventure

and I've scored the SG-1 trifecta.

Now, how is Jackson supposed to help us with this?

Well, a similar thing happened to him a few years ago.

PX7-377, the crystal skull!

You really did read every report

from every mission we ever went on, didn't you?

I was in that hospital a long time,

and they were all riveting.

Anyway, when Daniel was out of phase and nobody could see him

except for his grandfather, Nicholas Ballard.

And because the same thing happened to Ballard in Belize,

Jackson should be able to see us

because we're all part of the same club.

Right.

Perfect.

Teal'c, have you seen Colonel Mitchell?

No, I have not.

I'm gonna need to talk to your team.

SG-12 just got back from P8T-474,

and it looks like we may have a timeline

for whatever it is the Priors are planning.

According to the natives,

this "Doomsday" the Priors keep talking about

may be only days away.

I will inform the others.

Jackson, just the guy to help us with a little problem.

Or not.

The dimension we're occupying must be different

from the one he was shifted to.

Alternate, alternate dimensions?

Something like that, yeah.

Okay, so what do we do?

We have to find a way to communicate with them.

Any ideas?

Unscheduled offworld activation!

What have we got?

No IDC, sir, but I am receiving a radio signal.

Let's hear it.

What's wrong with it?

Sounds like harmonic distortion in the data stream.

- I'm not sure, sir. - Can you clean it up?

I can try, sir.

Okay, that sounded like something hitting the iris.

Any way to know for sure what it was?

We can run some tests.

Do it. Get Colonel Carter down here

to help unscramble that message.

Yes, sir.

I can't make heads or tails of this.

That's because the filter coefficient has to be adaptive.

The filter coefficient has to be adaptive.

Hey, wait a minute. There you go.

Notice the slight variance in the output.

Notice it?

Come on! Notice it!

Never mind. Gosh!

What do you mean, they're missing?

They are not in their quarters,

nor are they responding to any attempt to contact them.

Is it possible they aren't even on the base?

We checked the front gate, neither of them signed out.

What about security footage?

We're reviewing tapes

for both the labs and the cafeteria, but beyond that,

well, there are hundreds of cameras and hours of tape, so...

We'll screen them all if we have to.

I want them found.

Boy, am I getting that Patrick Swayze in Ghost feeling.

General, we need a Whoopi.

Walter.

We managed to clean up the message, sir.

Finally.

We noticed a slight variance in the output,

so we ran it through a sequence of digital filters,

and we came up with this.

- Stargate Command. - This is Sodan.

Please respond.

Did he say Sodan? ..under attack.

Many have fallen.

We request immediate assistance.

That's when we heard the impact against the iris, Sir.

General Landry, we should investigate.

Agreed. Assemble a team.

Sir, Colonel Mitchell is the one who should go.

He's the one who knows the Sodan the best.

I agree, but Colonel Mitchell isn't here right now.

Oh, hey, have you seen Colonel Carter?

Hey, I was just coming to ask you the same thing.

Really? Because she left her laptop in my lab.

She did? Yeah, yeah.

It's, uh, hooked up to that device

that you picked up in Glastonbury.

There she is.

Fast forward.

There's Colonel Mitchell.

What just happened?

Looks like the camera went offline.

Probably a power surge.

They're gone.

Okay, bring up the security camera

for the corridor outside Dr. Lee's lab.

Sync them up to 8:16, and run them simultaneously.

Okay, if they didn't go through the doorway,

how did they get out of the room?

More staff blasts, just like back at the gate.

Indeed. A battle took place here as well.

The Sodan have been hiding here for thousands of years.

The only reason we got the transporter codes

is because Colonel Mitchell won their trust.

I doubt they would've given them to anyone else.

And yet, evidently they were attacked.

By who?

My God.

Conway, Stevens, get back to the gate on the double.

Tell SGC we need med teams.

Yes, sir.

Check the area for survivors.

Whomever did this knew well the most efficient way to kill a Jaffa.

Their symbiotes have been targeted.

They were shown no mercy.

Haikon.

Pulse is weak.

He will not survive long. His symbiote is dead.

Lieutenant, help me get him into one of these huts.

We need to get some Tretonin in him, stat.

Roast beef.

The one time I can't eat, and they serve roast beef.

Do know how many times I've requested roast beef?
