Unlike you, doing the job

that I was sent to do.

Stop any further Ori invasion

at all cost.

Well, how does getting us killed

and this ship destroyed accomplish that?

I assure you

that's not the plan, Colonel.

Oh, really? Because we're about to be

surrounded by a bunch of Ori ships.

So I figure we got 2 options.

We can shut that thing down

and hope to outrun them,

or we can stay and fight

and lose badly.

And that's where you're wrong.

There are always other options.

You're just failing to consider them.

I hate to be the downer

at this party, but this is hopeless.

I'm not getting any energy readings,

so, short of literally looking under

every rock and stone on this mountain,

I'm not sure what we're supposed to do.

Or we could wait for Daniel

to have another one of his visions.

Guys, I think there's something here.

I think

we're supposed to go down there.

This is Colonel Carter, we need

an ARG in the Asgard core room now.

it's being contained

by a force shield.

For now. If you knew anything

about these things, you'd know

- nothing will hold it for long.

- Do you have any idea

what it finally took

to eradicate these little buggers?

Exactly why it will be so effective

in neutralizing the Ori fleet.

That's your plan?

What are you? Totally nuts?

Not my plan.

It's the IOA's.

In the event that the Supergate

on this side was impossible to destroy,

a backup plan was devised.

We knew we could draw the Ori

to the Odyssey by turning on the core.

Yes, we might lose an all out battle

with a large number of them but we'd

certainly be able to hang in long enough

to get this Replicator

on board of one of their ships.

At which point,

hopefully, we'd be able to escape.

And since you

were unwilling to even try

to destroy the Gate,

you left me no choice.

We came here to find the Ark.

Nobody expected you to find it.

Excuse me?

The Ori ships are preparing to leave.

For all we know,

they're already gone.

Obviously, you didn't come up

with this on your own.

Who wrote this program?

Does it really matter?

Thank you.

The ARG won't penetrate the shield.

When I shut it down, don't hesitate.

- And don't miss!

- I won't.

Zats have no effect on them.

Neither did this thing.

You need P-90s.

Don't let it get away!

This way.

Why the hell didn't it work?

I believe that particular susceptibility

was programmed out of this version.

You slick son of a mental,

why didn't you tell us?

You obviously had no intention

of allowing me

- to follow through with the plan.

- If we can't stop it,

it will cannibalize

this ship and start replicating.

I should hope so.

And thanks to you it's now the only

way we have of infecting the Ori fleet.

And what the hell is the IOA gonna do

when the Replicators finish with the Ori

decide to take a little trip

back through the Supergate?

Precautions to prevent that scenario

have been put in place.

Self destruct.

You built in some sort of shutdown

command into the programming.

I told you.

It wasn't me.

and are searching top to bottom.

These things are crafty, Captain.

They'll avoid any area of the ship

exposed to internal sensors.

They're small enough to use

the ventilation shafts or

to move through hollow walls and it's

only a matter of time before we could

- be dealing with more than one.

- We'll find it, Sir.

Carter, talk to me.

The Asgard core was designed

to be very user friendly.

Whoever wrote this program didn't have

to have an extensive knowledge

of Replicator technology.

They only had to explain what they

, the core filled in the blanks.

- And?

- Unfortunately, that means

the complete program

exists only in the core database.

Which means

you have to leave the core on

to find the self destruct command.

If it even exists.

How long?

I don't know. I'm trying to narrow down

the search parameters but it's huge.

Just forget about the fact that

we're standing here screaming and waving

our hands at the Ori. They probably

already know our position anyway.

Let's jump into hyperspace. At least the

Ori ships won't be able to attack us.

Yeah but they can track us in hyperspace

and we can't stay there forever.

Believe me,

if we don't find that Replicator

or the self destruct command,

"forever":
not going to be a big issue.

Hey guys, it's Mitchell, we're about

to beam you onboard immediately.

Wait, you can't, not yet.

Yeah, well,

Merek activated the Asgard core.

So we're expecting Ori ships

around here sometime soon.

Plus, we have

a little Replicator problem.

So we're going to jump into hyperspace

to avoid the bad guys

while we deal with it.

I'm sorry, did you say

"Replicator problem"?

Unfortunately, yes, I did.

Major Marks, transport the team

on the planet back up to the ship.

As soon as they are safely onboard,

take us into hyperspace.

Sir, I'm attempting to transport

the team on the surface

but the system is not responding.

I've lost control

of the ship's computer.

- It's plugged itself in somewhere.

- That was fast.

It doesn't have much learning to do.

Everything about the Odyssey

and its systems has been preprogrammed

into the Replicator's memory.

I'm attempting to isolate life support,

navigation and hyperdrive command

and restrict it to the Asgard core.

Hopefully I can maintain

some measure of control from here.

Right, I'm going to help

find the damn thing.

What's a Replicator?

You do not wish to know.

Yeah, it's me again.

Your friendly neighborhood

ship's commander.

Looks like you got

a little more time down there.

We're having a bit of trouble

with the beaming thing at the moment.

I promise you'll be the first to know...

Okay, so?

Onwards.

What do you think, Muscles?

Wait wait wait, we can't.

We don't know how stable this tunnel is.

So we turn back then, Daniel Jackson?

Bombs away.

Sir, we have lost

the external communications array,

we are experiencing power fluctuations

throughout the power grid.

Yeah, I got that.

Daniel Jackson.

This is it.

Oh, you're sure this time?

Definitely.

We found it.

You demonstrate great courage

facing me in person,

General.

Courage is only required

when facing that what you fear.

The flames of ignorance

burn without pain.

Beware the power,

or it will consume you

before you know.

You can skip the fire and brimstone.

If you're here to tell me

that you're finally coming after Earth,

I already know.

It is not too late.

Allow me to deliver

the message to your world

that Origin is the way to salvation

and you will all be spared.

I have to tell you,

even if I did let you have your say,

I don't think my world is gonna listen.

Then you are all doomed.

That may be so.

But I don't think

it's you that's gonna do it.

I would not be so sure.

Really?

What took you so long?

Earth has to be the most

densily populated planet in the galaxy.

What are you waiting for?

Sure you've tried to...

warn us a couple of times, but come on,
