00:00What do we got here, Teal'c?
00:13I do not know.
00:16Wow.
00:17It may indicate a civilization of some kind.
00:23Now let's spread out and take a look.
00:26I think there's a way down over here.
00:30Crystals.
00:36Granite, not volcanic.
00:39I don't see any that aren't broken.
00:43These pieces might fit together.
00:48There's a whole one.
00:51Looks like they've been blasted apart by something.
00:55It's damaged.
00:58I don't see any other hole-ins, do you?
01:05Teal'c.
01:28Wow.
01:58Whoa!
02:29Where's the colonel?
02:34Jack, we finished our recon, loaded up Fred, and we're hurrying to head back through the gate.
02:38Is this... am I using this right?
02:45Ready to head out, sir.
02:54Colonel!
03:16Welcome back, SG-1.
03:18Debriefing will commence at 0-9-11.
03:28Target in sight.
04:12The samples we brought back are being analyzed.
04:37We explored a 10-kilometer radius around the gate without finding any sign of recent gold mining activity.
04:42In fact, there's no indication that golds or anyone else have been through that gate in a thousand years.
04:47Tell me about these crystals.
04:49We found thousands in a pit near the Stargate.
04:51Since we didn't find them anywhere else on the planet, it's likely that they were gathered and put there.
04:55What?
04:56Early Greek cultures valued crystal and gemstones.
04:58Perhaps the pit has some religious or ceremonial significance.
05:03Your report doesn't mention any local population.
05:06There's no evidence of a developed culture in our roads, villages, settlements, nothing.
05:09I'm with Daniel.
05:11We didn't find any unbroken crystals, but we have this one and pieces of a few larger ones back in Deacon right now.
05:16Flag this one, Colonel.
05:18SG-1 is on stand down until your next mission comes up.
05:22Dismissed.
05:52I'm with Daniel.
05:53SG-1 is on stand down until your next mission comes up.
06:22Hey, Colonel.
06:43Listen, no offense, Colonel, but this becomes the women's locker room in...
06:47Well, now.
06:49You know, I hate those sandy planets.
06:53You don't have to hurry on my account.
06:58Nice.
07:00You have a family?
07:03Yes.
07:05I'm an auntie myself.
07:07My brother moved to San Diego, so I don't get to see him much.
07:10There's two kids now, a boy and a girl.
07:12I miss them like hell.
07:13I don't get there near enough.
07:17I can see you feel the same way.
07:20Goodbye, Sam.
07:22Bye.
07:26Jack seems very focused.
07:28Yeah.
07:30He was looking at pictures of his family.
07:32He must be in a hurry to get home.
07:34I didn't even know he was married.
07:36Oh, he isn't.
07:39He was, but they separated after his son died.
07:58Colonel O'Neil.
07:59You at the party?
08:01Yes.
08:02You said one day you would show me your world.
08:04I would like to see it now.
08:06All right.
08:15I've known the man for months,
08:16and he doesn't say word one about a life outside this place.
08:19I'm thinking he just doesn't have one.
08:21What else don't I know about him?
08:23Well, he doesn't really tell you much until he gets to know you.
08:26Yeah, that's an understatement.
08:30All right, what do we have here?
08:33I passed all the decontamination protocols,
08:35and I noticed it's got a low-level EM field you should check out.
08:39Either that or my fridge magnets fell off the wall by themselves.
08:42I'm sorry, EM?
08:43Electromagnetic energy.
08:44Thanks.
08:50So, um, tell me more about the Colonel.
08:52What happened to his son?
08:56Charlie accidentally killed himself with Jack's personal gun.
09:01Oh, God.
09:02That's horrible.
09:03Jack never forgave himself.
09:04He pulled up and turned his back on the world for a long time.
09:08I can imagine.
09:10I don't know what I'd do.
09:13What about his wife?
09:14Sarah?
09:15I don't think they've seen each other since he joined SG-1.
09:17He hasn't said anything about a visit, but like I said...
09:19He doesn't tell you much.
09:21Right.
09:22Right.
09:23Look at this.
09:24See the edge of this crystal here, how it's glassy like it's been melted?
09:27Can you tell what did it?
09:29For me, it might.
09:30Shed a little light on what the significance of the pit was and who put them there.
09:34It would take extreme temperatures to melt quartz crystal.
09:37Lightning?
09:38Maybe, but it's too precise, too clean.
09:43I think I've seen a cut like this before.
09:45Here, in this facility.
09:53Dad, I left some iced tea in there for you.
09:59Hello, Sarah.
10:03Hello, Sarah.
10:08Maybe time to face facts, Dad.
10:10This old thing has seen better days.
10:13The girl shouldn't be so quick to give up on the agent.
10:15Makes her father worry.
10:16Come on, Dad, I'm serious.
10:18If I keep...
10:20Hello, Sarah.
10:23Been there long?
10:24Yes.
10:26You could have said something.
10:28I did.
10:31Right, you did.
10:42Something wrong?
10:44I think it's the ignition.
10:47But you didn't come about the car.
10:50No.
10:52So what?
10:53You decided you'd just show up, waltz back into my life, is that it?
10:59Yes.
11:04I need to find Charlie.
11:06Is he here?
11:08Charlie?
11:11I need Charlie.
11:13That's his bicycle, isn't it?
11:16I kept some of his things.
11:18Yes, I know.
11:20Jack, what are you doing?
11:22You're scaring me.
11:23It's important, Sarah.
11:26Charlie?
11:27Don't look on me.
11:28What the hell is wrong with you?
11:29Is this your idea of a joke?
11:31Just get away from me.
11:32Sarah.
11:36I don't understand.
11:47The sound of upsetting her is your way of trying to win a woman's heart.
11:50It's a stupid one.
11:52Anyone ever tell you that?
11:54I think you just did.
11:58Come on, Andy.
12:10I don't know what you're talking about.
12:38when Bear's leaving the Sea of Red behind him.
12:52For the third straight day, and no one on either side
12:55can say how it started in the first place.
13:01Teal, we need your help.
13:04Your world is a strange place.
13:06So's yours.
13:07Listen, we need to stop by the armory and sign out your staff weapon.
13:10Are we being deployed?
13:11No, no, it's okay. Come on.
13:23Parents shouldn't outlive their children. It isn't natural.
13:26He loved to laugh.
13:36Yeah, sometimes I can still hear him laughing at one of my bad jokes.
13:41Sarah kept all his things, like that bike outside.
13:45I guess it's her way of keeping him around a while.
13:51I thought I would find Charlie here.
13:54Look around, you still might.
13:56He's gone.
13:59What do I do?
14:03Sarah comes up here and talks to him sometimes and it helps her.
14:06If it helps you, I'm glad you're here.
14:24You know, Jack, for an Irishman, you never were much of a talker, but that never mattered.
14:29I'll give you that much. You married my daughter.
14:39Say what you need to Charlie if that's all you come here for.
14:42But Sarah is not over you yet.
14:44So you break her heart again and God help you, I'll make you wish you never did.
14:53I'll make you wish you never did.
15:23How was your day?
15:45Fine.
15:47Oh, look who came home from school.
15:53It's Charlie, by the way.
15:54Yeah, he was running around here a few minutes ago.
16:04Charlie!
16:24Here's a good one.
16:30What's going on in there?
16:32You received permission for me to fire my staff weapon in the gate room?
16:36Oh, yeah.
16:37Absolutely.
16:41Now, I noticed that the glassy edge where the crystal hit you,
16:44that's where the glassy edge is.
16:46Yeah, that's where the glassy edge is.
16:48Now, I noticed that the glassy edge where the crystal was melted
16:51looked a lot like the walls of the gate room
16:53after Apophis and his serpent guards came and shot up the place.
16:56Now, take a look at this.
16:58We did a complete study trying to figure out what they used.
17:01We kept a few pieces and that gave me the idea.
17:03Since your energy weapons are the same as the ones Apophis used,
17:06we can compare the blast marks on the two crystals.
17:08Now, I'm telling the computer to build a simulation model.
17:11We should see if the energy signatures are the same or not.
17:19It matches up.
17:21It was Goa'uld technology that destroyed the crystals.
17:24Yeah, I'd say a whole mess of the staff weapons did it.
17:38We haven't talked about Charlie since he died.
17:40Why now?
17:41I don't know.
17:42I don't know.
17:43I don't know.
17:44I don't know.
17:45I don't know.
17:46I don't know.
17:47Why?
17:48Why now?
17:49What were you doing up there?
17:51Do you remember how much fun Charlie used to have playing that game?
17:56Baseball?
17:57Baseball.
18:00He loved that game.
18:02He loved playing with you.
18:07Jack.
18:13I have to get back to the Stargate.
18:15Back to what?
18:16Stargate.
18:22It's a big brown metal object.
18:28A ring.
18:30Energy.
18:31You always could spin a line of ball to avoid talking to me.
18:34I love you, Charlie.
18:45What's wrong?
18:49I've been crying.
18:50That's what's wrong.
18:52What's with you?
18:54Upstairs.
18:55I've never seen you like that before.
18:57For a second, I thought you were gonna cry.
19:01I saw that O'Neill military bravado.
19:05I don't think I have it.
19:15What?
19:16Smoke.
19:18Oh, my God, Mike left a casserole in for me.
19:21The energy signature looks like some kind of gas plasma laser.
19:25I'd love to get this into the spectrometer at Stanford.
19:29What is a Stanford?
19:31Hey, did you see this thing inside of him?
19:33I didn't think that was there before.
19:38Mom!
19:39Captain Gargantilk?
19:40Yeah.
19:44It was... me.
19:48It wasn't me.
19:50Are you okay?
19:51Just... look.
19:55My reflections, though.
19:57Closer.
20:01Holy Hannah!
20:08Help us.
20:11Oh, my God.
20:20What is it spitting out here?
20:22What is it spitting out here? No one's due back.
20:25It was trying to communicate with us.
20:29I don't know the magic password, do you?
20:32It's the gate, incoming.
20:34Off-hold activation. This is not a drill.
20:37I didn't think anyone was due back.
20:39No one is.
20:40Off-hold activation. This is not a drill.
20:43All units, board the station. This is not a drill.
20:47Come on!
20:50Stop!
20:58Where's the iris?
20:59Someone used the remote.
21:00Who? We're all here.
21:01Well, whoever it is has our codes.
21:03Heads up, people.
21:13What are you guys doing leaving without me?
21:20What's with all the ordnance?
21:22Who are you?
21:24What do you mean, who am I?
21:29What the heck's going on here?
21:31Good question. Take him into custody.
21:41Mike, get me out of here!
21:45Mike, get me out of here!
21:49Tell you what, let me put it nicely.
21:53Get me the hell out of here!
21:56If that isn't O'Neil, I want to know who the hell we're looking at.
22:00We're searching the facility now, sir.
22:15I'm waiting for you to say,
22:17I'm sorry, or I want to get back together,
22:21or just whatever's on your mind, anything.
22:24Just talk to me.
22:30The first time we were together, this is where we came.
22:37You're angry.
22:38Angry? At you? No, I'm not angry.
22:41Good.
22:44You were.
22:45When?
22:46When Charlie died.
22:49That's why I left.
22:54You son of a bitch.
22:56You walked down on me back then because you thought I was mad at you?
23:00You trying to tell me it's my fault?
23:03No.
23:04Why didn't you talk to me? Why didn't you ask?
23:07I should have.
23:09But I didn't.
23:11So you were angry.
23:13No.
23:18Yes.
23:20What did you expect?
23:22It happened in our house.
23:24It was your gun.
23:30I know you blamed yourself.
23:33But if you'd just opened up for once,
23:36but if you'd just opened up for once,
23:39and let me through that armor of yours,
23:42we could have helped each other.
23:46I needed you.
23:49I know.
23:51You know?
23:54And you can say it just like that?
23:57After all this time?
23:59I'm sorry it took so long.
24:01It should have been said sooner.
24:03Is that what you came to tell me?
24:05There's no way to make you understand what I came here to do.
24:09You couldn't understand.
24:11Try me.
24:15I thought if I could bring Charlie back through the Stargate...
24:19Shut up about that, would you?
24:21Charlie is gone, Jack.
24:25And we should be talking about us and what happened and not...
24:31Jack?
24:32My God.
24:36Jack!
24:42Jack?
24:43Jack, what is that?
24:45What's happened to you?
24:48We've got to get you to the hospital.
24:56The MRI was negative.
24:58The DNA screen matches what we have on file.
25:03Physical examination of the body shows some trauma,
25:06otherwise he seems perfectly healthy.
25:07Healthy doesn't cut it.
25:09Well, the evidence says he's Colonel Jack O'Neil.
25:11Thank you, Doctor.
25:13Then how do you explain the other one?
25:15What other one?
25:18What?
25:25Okay, so that's not possible. I didn't come back with you guys.
25:34What the hell is that thing?
25:36The EM energy in the one intact crystal we brought back from P3X562 may hold the key to this.
25:41Explain.
25:42The electromagnetic energy in the crystal has the ability to mimic things.
25:46It recreated Daniel and I, cloned us electronically, at least part of us.
25:50It seemed to read our thoughts and speech and mimic them, too.
25:53Now, what if the other O'Neil is energy,
25:56just like the thing Daniel and I found in the crystal,
25:58only a more powerful, more evolved form of it?
26:01One powerful enough to copy a whole person, not just faces.
26:04Is that what we're looking at?
26:06Could be.
26:07And it tried to communicate with you?
26:10It asked for our help.
26:13This may not work.
26:19Hello?
26:25Hello.
26:31What are you?
26:32Energy. Unity. You would describe me thus.
26:37You asked for help.
26:38If I remain here, my energy will disintegrate. I must return.
26:43Why did you not speak before?
26:45Fear.
26:46Fear of what?
26:47The Gua'uld came to our planet long ago.
26:50We were not afraid then, and we tried to greet them.
26:53One of them touched us, as you did, and was destroyed by our energy.
26:58Well, that's some kind of welcome wagon you got there.
27:04It almost killed me.
27:07The Gua'ulds must have come through the gate exploring.
27:09That's why it was afraid. We looked just like them.
27:12One of the Gua'ulds was killed?
27:13They gathered all the unity in one place and ended it.
27:17We confirmed Gua'uld energy weapons did it.
27:19Then that pit wasn't a ceremonial place at all. It was some kind of mass grave.
27:26I can no longer sustain this form.
27:39What was that?
27:42Any ideas? Any theories? Explanations?
27:49Anything?
27:50If you thought that your entire race was destroyed by the Gua'ulds as punishment for harming one of them,
27:56what would you do if you thought it was going to happen again?
28:08Sir, O'Neil, the other guy is nowhere in the mountain.
28:13Okay, we got a problem. I ran some tests on the crystals in the lab.
28:17Whatever the energy inside the crystal is, it's starting to decay.
28:20It's ionizing particle radiation.
28:22Nuclear radiation?
28:23It's not constant and the amounts are not dangerous.
28:25But if O'Neil, it, starts breaking down like the energy in the crystals
28:30and it's more powerful than what we have here,
28:32then anyone nearby could get a lethal dose of radiation.
28:35If that's true, we have a very serious problem on our hands. Let's go.
28:38Something else. I've been thinking about where it went.
28:40Sir, it was in your locker, looking through your personal stuff. Pictures of your family.
28:54Come on, Sarah, come on.
28:57Hi, I can't take your call right now, so please leave a message.
29:00I gotta get there.
29:02The lab's running tests, but I'm pretty sure it's breaking down
29:04because Earth's electromagnetic field is stronger than the one on P3X562.
29:08The difference is tearing it apart.
29:10Can we stop it?
29:11I don't know.
29:12Check with the local police. No one's at your wife's house.
29:14One of the local hospitals admitted a J.O. O'Neil less than an hour ago.
29:17He'll have to leave that here.
29:18I've seen your world. I will need it.
29:20Can't let you take your word for it.
29:22I don't know what you're talking about.
29:23I don't know what you're talking about.
29:24I don't know what you're talking about.
29:25I don't know what you're talking about.
29:26I don't know what you're talking about.
29:27I don't know what you're talking about.
29:28I've seen your world. I will need it.
29:30Can't let you take your weapon, Teal'c.
29:33You, all of you, will be operating in public,
29:36so you can't do or say anything that reveals the existence of the S.G.C.R., the Stargate.
29:43Chicago. The Windy City.
29:45Home of the Blackhawks, the Bulls, and the White Sox.
29:48Don't forget the cops.
29:49Heads up, Colonel.
29:52Good luck.
29:58Good luck.
30:17Charlie.
30:25This is the place we brought in.
30:27Yes, it is.
30:35He died here.
30:37Yes, he did.
30:40Jack, what's happening to you?
30:43I have to get to the Stargate.
30:45Can we do that?
30:48Jack, I know you want to get to the Stargate.
30:57Come on.
31:20All right, people, I need buses up here.
31:22Shove this new thing in the ditch if you have to.
31:25I want these people out of here now.
31:27Come on. Move. Move.
31:31As soon as Colonel O'Neill's team gives the signal,
31:33I want you to start shutting the power down inside.
31:35All right.
31:44Thanks.
31:45Go. I'm all right. Go.
31:46I'm a little stressed.
31:48Everybody out.
31:50I need everybody out of here now. Let's go.
31:55Jack?
31:56Sarah.
31:57Are you all right?
32:00Yes.
32:01This is my baby.
32:08Are you all right?
32:09Yeah.
32:10Okay, I want to hear all about it, but not now.
32:12Are you okay?
32:13Yeah.
32:14What room?
32:15Room three.
32:17Colonel!
32:24It's okay.
32:55Hey, Colonel.
32:56He's buried in the red.
32:59How are we doing with the power?
33:00We've turned off as much of the grid as possible.
33:02Then shut down all they can.
33:25It's all right.
33:30I'm not going to hurt you.
33:33Please.
33:36Stay back.
33:40I do not want to harm you again.
33:48My baby.
33:49I do not want to hurt you again.
33:56My energy is about to die.
34:02My baby.
34:16Radiation's dropped off.
34:17O'Neal, are you all right?
34:19I'm okay.
34:22What's happening?
34:23We've got 20% of the regency power.
34:26Radiation's low enough. We should be all right.
34:32No.
34:40You have come to destroy me.
34:44No.
34:47That's not true.
34:55I know you weren't trying to kill me back on the planet.
35:02No.
35:07The ghouls.
35:09The people who destroyed your race.
35:12They're our enemies, too.
35:18I understand.
35:21Thank you.
35:24Why did you come here?
35:25When my energy hurt you, I tried to heal you.
35:32But I did not understand your injury.
35:37So I looked into your mind.
35:43I saw the mind of a warrior.
35:49I feared it as I feared you.
35:55I feared those who destroyed my race.
36:01I tried to make you well before my mistake was discovered.
36:06Before the others returned to destroy me.
36:13I understand now.
36:17Your deepest pain was not the physical injury I had caused.
36:24Your pain comes from an empty place in your heart where Charlie once was.
36:35I thought if I could bring Charlie to you, it would make you well.
36:40I did not understand.
36:42His death meant he could no longer exist as flesh and blood.
36:48Physical death does not have the same meaning to us.
36:57Are you dying now?
37:01Yes.
37:07I could not bring Charlie to you.
37:10Charlie's gone now.
37:14He's in here.
37:26Charlie?
37:36You cannot change what happened that day.
37:38Just as I cannot change the day that the ghoul destroyed my world.
37:45I am showing you it if Charlie is still there, inside you.
37:57Jack?
38:02Jack?
38:04Jack?
38:08The radiation's still low, but I don't know for how long.
38:12We have to go.
38:17Is Sarah O'Neil still here?
38:21Yes.
38:34Delta 5, we're on Robbie.
38:36The heart rate stays five minutes.
38:38Chopper's inbound.
38:39You guys go ahead.
38:45Sarah?
38:49Oh, my God.
38:52It's not Charlie.
38:56Sarah?
39:03Sarah?
39:28Sarah?
39:30I have to get him back.
39:32To the Stargate?
39:35Yeah.
39:42Whatever that is.
39:46The other guy?
39:52You know what he said?
39:54I have a pretty fair idea.
39:57We were pretty great together, weren't we?
40:01We were the greatest.
40:27Jack?
40:32Take care of yourself, Jack.
40:50Keep the lights on.
40:52I'll be back.
40:56I'll be back.
