STARGATE SG1
Episode 215
"THE FIFTH RACE"
By
Robert C. Cooper
Briefing Room
Daniel is giving a presentation on information discovered on
the planet Earnest Littlefield was found
DANIEL
On the planet where we found Ernest
Littlefield, PB2-908, we also found
a repository of information.
JACK
Meaning of life sorta stuff.
DANIEL
Yes, based on the four distinct alien
languages inscribed on the wall we concluded
it was some sort of meeting place, where
these four races would.
HAMMOND
We all re-read read the mission report,
Doctor Jackson.
DANIEL
Okay, right, well, two days ago the
probe sent this image from P3R-272.Now
if you look closely you'll see that
the symbols match one of the inscriptions
from the meeting place on Ernest's planet.
So you realize what this means?
HAMMOND
You know what this circle of symbols
says?
DANIEL
No, I don't even know what it sounds
like, but based on the Norse rune at
the bottom of this inscription I'm positive
that one of the four race in the alliance
is Thor's race, the Asgard, obviously
that would make the aliens that belong
to this race their allies.
TEAL'C
I do believe this world is worth exploring
Daniel Jackson.
They travel through the gate and once on the other side, find
themselves in an empty room
SAM
Very strange. Breathable air, moderate
temperature, but where's the life support
coming from?
JACK
Walls are solid.
TEAL'C
As the probe indicated there appears
to be no exit.
JACK
Well, this was an intergalactic waste
of time.
SAM
Well, wait a minute, Sir, where's the
power for the lights coming from? What's
the point of this place?
DANIEL
Hello! Hello! I'm Daniel Jackson, we're
peaceful explorers from the planet Earth.
Jack gives Daniel a funny look
DANIEL
It was worth a try.
JACK
Daniel, how long you figure we oughta
hang out here and scratch our cosmic
heads?
DANIEL
Well, we can't just give up.
JACK
Why not? Lets go home. Okay, that's
something.
Teal'c walks up to the device and looks inside
JACK
Watcha self there Teal'c.
DANIEL
What do you see?
TEAL'C
Blackness, filled with coloured lights.
Jack looks into it
JACK
Whoa!
The device suddenly grabs onto Jacks head. He can see bright
lights and shortly afterwards, he falls to the floor
SAM
Colonel!
DANIEL
Jack, can you hear me?
SAM
His pulse is racing. Daniel, dial the
'gate.
Titles
Infirmary
FRAISER
Pupils are back to normal. Pulse is
fine. You feel okay?
JACK
Great, don't remember a thing.
SAM
You were catatonic for about an hour
after that thing released your head.
FRAISER
Physically I can't find anything wrong
with you.
JACK
Well, okey dokey.
Jack leaves the infirmary
Briefing Room
HAMMOND
So what caused this device to appear?
DANIEL
We're not sure.
TEAL'C
Colonel O'Neill passed through the circle
on the floor just before the device
appeared. I was the first to look into
it.
HAMMOND
What did you see?
JACK
Lights, he saw lights. That's what he
said he saw, lights. We done?
HAMMOND
Not exactly. Why didn't the device react
to Teal'c the same way as it did to
you?
JACK
I don't know.
TEAL'C
Perhaps because I am a Jaffa.
SAM
We've seen alien technologies that have
been sensitive to the presence of a
Goa'uld before, like Thor's Hammer.
JACK
Teal'c looked, I looked, it grabbed
my head, I passed out, I came to, we're
here, we're home. Can we go?
SAM
Sir, are you okay?
JACK
I'm fine, just fine. A little tired
maybe.
HAMMOND
Colonel, are you sure you're okay?
JACK
I am absolutely fine. There is nothing
cruvus with me. They all look at Jack.
JACK
What?
DANIEL
You just said there's nothing cruvus
with you.
JACK
I did not.
DANIEL
Yes, you did.
JACK
No I didn't.
DANIEL
Yes, you did.
JACK
Didn't.
DANIEL
Did.
JACK
Didn't.
DANIEL
Did.
JACK
Cruvus, what is that?
DANIEL
I don't know. Um, well, I'm guessing
in the context of what you're saying
you were trying to say that there's
nothing wrong with you.
HAMMOND
Why don't you take some time to relax,
Colonel. You're dismissed, but do me
a favor and stay on the base.
Jack tears a page out of his notebook and leaves the room
HAMMOND
Keep an eye on him.
Jack and Teal'c are in the gym, sparring
TEAL'C
What is the reason for these padded
gloves, O'Neill?
JACK
So we don't hurt each other. I'll be
honest with you, Teal'c, it's so you
don't hurt me.
TEAL'C
If our purpose is to not cause each
other harm, why then are we doing battle?
JACK
What can I tell you , it's boxing. It's
fun. Come on.
Jack begins dancing around and moving his feet etc
JACK
Come on Teal'c, you've gotta move around
a little bit, you've gotta dance.
TEAL'C
I do not understand O'Neill, are we
preparing to dance or to do battle?
JACK
Teal'c if you don't move around you're
a sitting duck, you're a target. Huh,
like that. I'm sorry are you alright?
TEAL'C
I am fine.
JACK
Well that's why you've gotta move.
Teal'c lands a punch and Jack falls to the floor
TEAL'C
How was that, O'Neill?
JACK
That's good, that's good. Er, the thing
about keeping your hands up... is my
nose bleeding?
TEAL'C
You are fine.
JACK
Keep your hands up, you gotta keep moving
your, your feet moving and er, bend
your cosars, keep your cosars bent.
TEAL'C
I am unfamiliar with that word.
JACK
What, cosars? Cosars, you gotta bend
your cosars.
TEAL'C
I believe you are referring to your
legs, O'Neill.
Jack and Teal'c go to Daniel's office
JACK
Alright, what the hell is going on with
me?
DANIEL
What do you mean?
JACK
Well, apparently I have lost the falatus
to speak properly. That wasn't a joke,
I didn't do that on purpose.
TEAL'C
Several times now Colonel O'Neill has
used strange words in place of common
terms.
DANIEL
Okay, well, what was that word you just
used?
TEAL'C
I believe it was falatus.
DANIEL
Okay, sounds kinda close to Medieval
Latin. So, possibly a derivation, maybe
even a root. Faculatus is Latin for
ability. You said you've lost the falatus
to speak properly.
Jack looks at Daniel's monitor and reads the text
JACK
Nou ani anquietas.
DANIEL
What?
JACK
Nou ani anquietas. Hic qua videum.
DANIEL
Jack, are you reading this?
JACK
I don't know, you tell me.
DANIEL
Well, I don't know, I haven't been able
to associate sounds to the symbols.
Do you know what this means?
JACK
No, I'm just looking at it and the words
just pop right into my fron. Does anybody
think this is odd?
Sam and Daniel are walking through a corridor
DANIEL
The language he's speaking has similar
sounds to Medieval Latin but they're
still quite different.
SAM
So he's in the infirmary now?
Daniel's office
DANIEL
Yeah, but before we took him there,
he picked up the chalk and did this
in about thirty seconds flat. Do you
have any idea what this means?
SAM
No. I mean, even the simple equations
don't make any sense. No, this is like
no math I've every seen.
Janet explains Jack's condition
FRAISER
A normal human brain operates at 5-10%
of its functional capacity at any given
time. Colonel O'Neill's brain is working
at over 90% capacity.
SAM
How is that possible?
FRAISER
I don't know.
TEAL'C
Where is Colonel O'Neill?
FRAISER
Well, he should be in the infirmary.
TEAL'C
He is not there.
They race off to find him
SAM
Teal'c, you take the Gate Room.
DANIEL
I'll check the locker room.
SAM
Right.
Sam finds Jack dismantling a staff weapon
SAM
Colonel. What are you doing?
JACK
I need this.
He takes out a capsule containing green liquid
SAM
What for?
JACK
I have no idea.
Briefing Room
HAMMOND
Where is he now?
SAM
He's with Teal'c.
HAMMOND
Do you think his current condition poses
any threat?
FRAISER
Sir, I don't even know what's wrong
with him. All I can tell you is his
brain function has increased tenfold.
DANIEL
Jack was able to read the alien language
- both the inscription from the wall,
the meeting place on Earnest's planet
and the circle of symbols from 272,
where this happened to him.
HAMMOND
What does it mean?
DANIEL
Well, my translation's a little bit
vague, um, I think the circle means
the place of our legacy. Or it could
be a piece of our leg, but the first
seems to make more sense.
SAM
The point is Colonel O'Neill is unwillingly
speaking an alien language.
DANIEL
We know the Asgard oppose the Goa'uld
so it's possible all the members of
this four-race alliance felt the same.
SAM
Which might explain why the viewer locked
out Teal'c.
HAMMOND
What are you saying?
DANIEL
What if this device somehow downloaded
an alien language into Jack's brain.
Teal'c enters the room
TEAL'C
Your presence is required in the control
room.
Jack is in the control room, sitting at a computer
HAMMOND
What's he doing?
TEAL'C
I do not know. Sam heads straight for
a computer.
HAMMOND
Captain Carter?
SAM
Main system's down, Sir. I'm locked
out.
HAMMOND
Colonel.
JACK
Yes, Sir.
HAMMOND
What are you doing?
JACK
I don't know, Sir. You know me and computers.
HAMMOND
Colonel, I'm ordering you to stop.
JACK
I'd love to Sir, but I can't.
HAMMOND
Stop him. Teal'c tries to pull Jack
away from the computer.
JACK
No! No, not yet! I'm not finished!
DANIEL
Sir, I think he wants to finish what
he's doing.
SAM
I can't reboot, Sir.
The power goes
SAM
Uh-oh.
HAMMOND
Captain? The numbers Jack entered come
up on the computer screen.
SAM
Sir, this is machine code. The numbers
the Colonel was entering must've been
some been some sort of program. J
Jack dives forward and taps some more keys
SAM
What did you do? Jack shakes his head.
SAM
It's the destination map. These are
all the Stargates we've been through.
DANIEL
Sam, are those new 'gates popping up?
SAM
That's not possible, it takes days to
calculate the planetary shift of each
new location. Whoa, wait a second. Sir,
the new Stargates did not come from
the Abydos cartouche data that we put
in.
HAMMOND
But that's the only reference we have,
isn't it?
SAM
The Colonel must've input new Stargate
locations into the computer.
DANIEL
Well, I guess that thing must've downloaded
more that a language into your brain.
That circular inscription read 'the
place of our legacy'. What if that thing
you looked into was some sort of alien
database, like the one we found on Ernest's
planet, all the knowledge that these
particular aliens possessed?
HAMMOND
Colonel, you are not under arrest but
you are also not to touch anything else
on this base without permission. Understood?
JACK
Etium, Sir.
Sam goes to Daniel's office
SAM
You can only stare at a computer screen
for so long. Colonel, that program you
entered re-wrote massive amounts of
the machine code. Jack doesn't respond.
DANIEL
Jack seems to have completely lost the
ability to speak anything but the alien
language.
SAM
Really? Wow.
DANIEL
But the good news is we seem to have
more of the alien inscription translated.
Nou ani anquietus, We are the Ancients.
SAM
Who are the Ancients?
DANIEL
Well, I think they could be the teachers
of roads. See, the Romans were the first
real road builders. They spoke Latin
and they learned to build roads from
the gods, known as the Ancient ones.
SAM
I'm still not following you.
DANIEL
Roads. Stargates. The gate builders.
What if these Ancients were the alien
race who invented the Stargate?
SAM
You're still just speculating, right?
DANIEL
Well, that would certainly explain why
Jack knew about Stargates the Goa'uld
haven't even discovered yet.
SAM
I don't know, Daniel. Why would they
invent a device that would do this?
DANIEL
The place of our legacy, to pass on
their knowledge. Jack may have the knowledge
of the original 'gate builders downloaded
into his brain.
JACK
Ego indeo navo locas.
DANIEL
Okay, ego means I.
JACK
Indeo.
DANIEL
Need.
JACK
Navo.
DANIEL
New.
JACK
Locas.
DANIEL
Locas, locas, locas. Locatia. Location.
You need a new location. You need a
new location?
SAM
Where do you wanna go? Jack doesn't
seem to know.
SAM
Okay, good luck you guys, I've got to
get back to the computer. Sir, I really
wish you could explain all this.
He hands her a piece of paper
SAM
Ten equals eight. Ten equals eight,
ten equals eight. Ten equals eight.
Sir, this is base eight math!
Daniel speaks with Janet
FRAISER
The problem may only be affecting the
verbal language centre of your brain.
It's a different function than writing,
but it looks like the problem is advancing.
Since he lost the ability to speak gradually,
I think whatever is affecting him might
be taking over incrementally.
DANIEL
Well, what's the worst-case scenario?
FRAISER
Well your computer analogy is pretty
good. Colonel, your hard drive has been
filled with information that is written
in a language your computer doesn't
understand. If it continues to progress
the way it has thus far you may eventually
lose the ability to write or even comprehend
us. Or worse the computer could shut
down all together.
Briefing Room
SAM
Sir, we've been sending probes through
to the addresses Colonel O'Neill entered
into the computer, hoping that one would
lead us to the race that affected his
mind. We think we may have found something.
DANIEL
P9Q-281 has a pedestal near the gate
with symbols on it that match the alien
language that Jack is speaking.
HAMMOND
Then I suggest we check it out. You're
authorized to go Captain; Major Castleman
will be joining SG-1 on this mission.
DANIEL
Well if Jack's not going then I have
to stay.
HAMMOND
Why's that Doctor?
DANIEL
Well if Sam and Teal'c make contact
with the Ancients then they can report
back and then Jack and I will go, but
until then, I mean, translating this
language may be the most important thing
we've done since we opened the Stargate.
You see I'm pretty sure that Jack is
speaking the language of the original
gate builders, at the very least I'm
positive that it's one of the races
that created the repository of information
on Earnest's planet, the, meaning of
life stuff.
SAM
And, Sir, I believe that the equation
Colonel O'Neill wrote on the blackboard
is a revolutionary formula for calculating
the distance between planetary bodies.
DANIEL
And, bottom line, Sir, what about Jack,
right now I'm possibly his only hope
for communicating on any serious level.
I can't leave him like this, and I won't.
HAMMOND
Alright. The rest of you will leave
at 1600 hours.
Gateroom
HAMMOND
SG-1, your mission is a go. Jack watches
them leave.
Daniel's office
DANIEL
Okay, I think we're getting hung up
on the grammar. What?
DANIEL
Okay, you have to go through the Stargate.
Where, where to? Back to the planet
where this happened, you have to go
back there?
Simmons goes to Hammonds office
HAMMOND
Come.
SIMMONS
Sir, SG-1 did not return the probe on
schedule.
HAMMOND
Lets open the gate and try to make contact.
SIMMONS
Yes, Sir.
Control room
SIMMONS
SG-1 this is Stargate Command, do you
read, over. They're responding, Sir,
video and audio.
SAM
Do not send rescue team. Repeat. Do
not send rescue team.
HAMMOND
This is General Hammond. We copy Captain.
Where's Major Castleman?
SAM
He's looking for shelter, Sir. We're
in a little trouble here, we can't dial
out; the DHD seized up when we tried
to send the probe back. Temperature
here is increasing rapidly which probably
explains why we haven't found indigenous
life forms. The probe data did not reveal
a second sun, which rose about half
an hour ago. General, we're gonna get
one heck of a sunburn if we stay here
much longer.
HAMMOND
Can you dial in manually?
SAM
Teal'c's attempting a manual dial now,
Sir, but we can't do anything with the
wormhole open from your end.
HAMMOND
I copy that, Captain. If you're not
back in one hour we will open the wormhole
again for further communication. Good
luck, SGC out.
Jack is busy building a device. Janet is with him. Daniel enters
the room
DANIEL
What's he doing now?
FRAISER
Building something. I've been taking
some notes but I'm finding it a little
hard to follow.
DANIEL
I have to go downstairs; Sam and Teal'c
are in trouble.
FRAISER
What?
DANIEL
Just don't tell Jack, I think he's got
enough on his mind.
Briefing Room
SCIENTIST
Sir, this Milar material added to a
standard issue field tent should provide
10-20 degrees worth of protection.
SIMMONS
We've augmented some air coolers to
work with portable generators.
DANIEL
But how are they gonna get home?
SCIENTIST
Well, based on Captain Carter's description
of the problem we've been running probability
tests using the function data we correlated
so far, from the DHD found in Antarctica.
HAMMOND
Do you understand what he just said?
DANIEL
It sounds like they have no idea.
SCIENTIST
Well actually it's not no idea, Sir,
just not much of one yet.
SIMMONS
But we're working on it.
Sam contacts the SGC again
SAM
Manual dial in failed, Sir. DHD is stuck
mid-dial and seems to be locking the
'gate in place.
DANIEL
Are we recording this?
SIMMONS
Yes, Sir.
SAM
By my calculations we could be facing
a temperature of over 200 degrees Fahrenheit
in less than four hours.
HAMMOND
Captain, we're sending through a package
of heat resistant tents and portable
air coolers.
SAM
General, I don't think you understand
how hot it's gonna get. Nothing you
send us will provide enough protection.
We'll be dead before the end of the
day, Sir.
Daniel goes back to Jack, who has finished building the device
FRAISER
I think he's finished.
DANIEL
What is it?
Jack turns it on. It lights up and emits a noise
DANIEL
That's it? Okay, well lets, lets just
leave this thing for now, believe it
or not I have something a little more
important to discuss.
Daniel's office
DANIEL
I didn't want to tell you this before
because I thought you had enough on
your mind. Sam, Teal'c and the rest
of SG-1 are in trouble; the DHD on P9Q-281
isn't working and they can't get home;
to make matters worse there's a very
hot sun rising. They don't have much
time.
He plays the message Sam sent
SAM
The rest of the symbols won't engage,
the DHD is locking the gate in place
so we can't dial out manually. I've
tried everything I know about these
things.
DANIEL
Look, no-one else believes you have
the knowledge of the original gate builders
in your head right now except me.
Jack begins drawing
FRAISER
Whats he doing?
DANIEL
I don't know.
FRAISER
Do you think this is going to help?
DANIEL
I... I don't, I really don't know.
Jack writes on some paper and shoves it towards them
DANIEL
: Shut up and go away.
They back away
Briefing Room
SIMMONS
The problem they're having is powering
up the DHD and getting it to recharge
its capacitors.
SCIENTIST
Removing the power source and reinstalling
always rebooted the system in the tests.
SIMMONS
But we've never simulated a mid-dial
lock out.
Daniel, Jack and Janet enter the room. Daniel gives them Jack's
device
DANIEL
We have to dial in right now.
HAMMOND
What is it?
FRAISER
The Colonel has a solution.
SCIENTIST
He does? Jack rolls out the plans on
the table.
DANIEL
We weren't sure what he was drawing
at first but.
SCIENTIST
That's the dial home device.
DANIEL
And the instructions on how to fix it.
There isn't much time.
As they leave the scientists, Daniel puts Jack's machine on the
table.
DANIEL
Here, you guys can work on this for
a while.
SCIENTIST
What is it?
DANIEL
No idea, well not no idea, just not
much of one yet, but work on it.
Control room
SIMMONS
The object has reached its destination,
Sir.
HAMMOND
Now we have to hope those instructions
were right.
Later, Teal'c and Sam return. A little burn't but otherwise ok
HAMMOND
Glad to have you back.
SAM
Thought our goose was quite literally
cooked this time, Sir. These plans were
perfect, who came up with them? Colonel?
Jack shrugs.
TEAL'C
I am sorry O'Neill. We could not find
a way to help you.
Sam goes to see Daniel who, along with Teal'c, is looking at
the device Jack made
DANIEL
Feel better?
SAM
Much, thanks. Is this what you wanted
to show me?
DANIEL
Yes, Jack built it but no-one seems
to be able to figure out what it is.
SAM
Colonel, you have no idea what it is
or why you built it?
"Captain Carter to the control room, Captain Carter to the control
room."
Control room
HAMMOND
We were preparing to send SG-11 to the
next new Stargate address that Colonel
O'Neill programmed into the computer.
SIMMONS
The gate wouldn't dial out, the computer's
frozen.
SAM
That doesn't make any sense, we've just
run a full diagnostic. The Stargate's
trying to draw more power than usual
from the system.
Jack get's the device and leaves the room
DANIEL
I'm guessing we should follow him.
Jack attaches the machine to the power system
TEAL'C
Should we not attempt to stop him Daniel
Jackson?
DANIEL
Wait a minute. Jack, what are you doing?
JACK
Euge.
DANIEL
I think that means good.Jack, I really
don't know if this is a good thing.
JACK
Euge. Euge.
DANIEL
I don't think he understands us anymore.
He switches on the device
Control room
SAM
Sir, somehow the Stargate just got a
huge power boost. It's drawing ten times
more power than normal.
HAMMOND
Isn't that impossible?
SAM
Yes, Sir, the circuits should've blown.
HAMMOND
This is General Hammond. I want Sergeant
Siler and a maintenance crew to the
power room immediately.
The gate begins to dial
SAM
Sir, the 'gate is dialing out.
HAMMOND
Where to?
SAM
I have no way of knowing. We've completely
lost control, Sir.
SCIENTIST
Chevron five is encoded. Daniel, Jack
and Teal'c enter.
DANIEL
The device that Jack built is some sort
of energy source; he just hooked it
up in the power vault.
SAM
Well, that explains where the gate's
getting all the extra power.
HAMMOND
I would not have authorized that Doctor
Jackson. Captain, how do we stop this?
SAM
You could have Siler pull the main breaker.
SIMMONS
Chevron six is encoded.
DANIEL
Wait! Jack has been saying that this
is a good thing. Now so far he's done
nothing bad.
HAMMOND
So far.
SIMMONS
Chevron seven is encoded?
SAM
And it's not the point of origin.
HAMMOND
What?
DANIEL
General, what if all these anomalies
that have been happening to Jack, are
part of some big plan?
HAMMOND
What plan?
DANIEL
Well, earlier Jack was telling me he
had to go through the 'gate. Maybe everything
up until now has been leading to this.
SAM
What's it doing?
SIMMONS
Chevron eight is locked.
The gate opens
SIMMONS
Wormhole is tracking.Captain?
SAM
Sir, the computer indicates that the
wormhole is leaving our known network
of Stargates. It's going outside of
our galaxy. Far out.
DANIEL
That's why the gate needed all the extra
power.
HAMMOND
Hold on, I thought Stargate addresses
were six points in space with the seventh
being the point of origin.
SAM
The extra chevron must add a new distance
calculation to the existing points,
kinda like dialing a different area
code.
HAMMOND
Now what?
Jack tries to leave the room
HAMMOND
Colonel!
HAMMOND
I'm just supposed to let you go?
DANIEL
He's already gone, General; I don't
think we have much of a choice.
Jack goes to the gateroom, followed by the others
TEAL'C
I will accompany you O'Neill.
DANIEL
I really think he needs to do this alone,
Teal'c.
Jack walks up the ramp
HAMMOND
I really hope this is the right thing
to do.
Gateroom
SAM
Wait, without the remote code device
he won't be able to get back.
HAMMOND
Without knowing where he's going and
why, that could put us in further jeopardy.
I'm sorry, I can't authorize it.
Daniel runs up the ramp to speak with Jack
DANIEL
Jack. You understand that if you do
this, if you go, you might not be able
to come back.
Jack turns to look at him and goes through the gate
Control room
SIMMONS
Traveler is still on route.We've lost
the traveler!
Jack comes out the other side, at high speed
JACK
Arrgh!
There are lot's of Asgard whispering and standing a in groups
JACK
Ego, deserdi, asordo.
ASGARD #1
He's human. From Earth.
ASGARD #2
But he's speaking the language of the
Ancients.
JACK
Comdo, asordo.
ASGARD #2
He wants help.
They move their hands towards him and take back the knowledge.
Jack collapses
Control room
SAM
Prepare to redial.
The phone rings
HAMMOND
Hammond.
SIMMONS
It's Sergeant Siler, Sir; the device
that's hooked to the power grid seems
to be dead.
Back with Jack
JACK
Hello. Thank you.
ASGARD #1
You are welcome.
JACK
You understand me?
ASGARD #2
We speak many languages.
JACK
You're the Asgard. Thor's race, right?
ASGARD #1
You have heard of us?
JACK
Nothing but good things.
ASGARD #2
You looked into the archive that stores
all the Ancients' knowledge.
JACK
Apparently.
ASGARD #2
It was not meant for you.
JACK
What, this was all an accident?
ASGARD #1
Human physiology has not advanced to
the point where your brain could handle
that technology.
JACK
Oh. So where am I?
ASGARD #1
This is the Asgard planet, Othala, in
the galaxy of Ida.
JACK
Why did I come here?
ASGARD #2
The Ancients moved on from our region
of space long ago, but your sub-conscious
mind used their knowledge to find us
here, where you could get help.
ASGARD #1
Very impressive.
JACK
Well, you know.
ASGARD #1
We did not think your brains had advanced
even that far.
JACK
How is it you know so much about our
brains?
ASGARD #1
We have studied your race closely.
JACK
Ah. What did you learn?
ASGARD #2
That your species has great potential.
JACK
Great potential, that's good.
ASGARD #1
Understand this, there was once an alliance
of four great races in the galaxy; the
Asgard, the Nox...
JACK
Met them.
ASGARD #1
The Furlings.
JACK
Don't know them.
ASGARD #1
And the Ancients, the builders of the
Stargates.
JACK
Pretty heady group.
ASGARD #1
The alliance was built over many millennia.
Your race has much to prove before we
may interact on that level.
JACK
Look, you all seem to be quite wonderful,
people, and I don't want to sound ungrateful
because I really, really appreciate
you getting all that stuff out of my
head, but you folks should understand
that we're out there, now, and we might
not be ready for a lot of this stuff
but we're doing the best we can. We
are a very curious race.
The Asard holds out his hand and Jack takes it
ASGARD #2
You have already taken the first steps
towards becoming the fifth race
Control room
SAM
Sir, we're gonna have to shut the whole
system down and reboot.
HAMMOND
Can you close the Stargate if necessary?
SAM
Apparently not.
DANIEL
That's not good.
HAMMOND
Captain, I don't care what you have
to do, I want control of this system
back.
SAM
Yes, Sir, I'm trying.
The stargate is activated from offworld
SAM
We have an incoming wormhole.
Jack comes through the gate
SAM
Everything seems to be back online again,
Sir, including the iris.
HAMMOND
Good work, Captain.
Gateroom
JACK
I'm back.
DANIEL
What happened?
TEAL'C
Do you still possess the knowledge of
the Ancients?
JACK
Nope. Don't remember a thing.
He turns to Daniel
JACK
But ya know that meaning of life stuff?
I think we're gonna be alright...
