now, do we, Daniel?

Tastes like chicken.

Tastes like chicken.

It's good.

It tastes...

Tastes like chicken.

Tastes like chicken. Good!

Jackson.

You said

that was an Egyptian symbol.

Yeah. The eye of Ra.

Would you say, then, that if they

know one Egyptian symbol?

Yes.

Yes.

No, no.

What's going on?

It seems like writing

is forbidden to them.

What? What?

They want me to go with them!

Should I stay?

I'll go with them.

I'll go. I'll be fine.

Okay, that's good. All right.

What is that smell?

Oh, it's...

Okay, that's good.

That's good.

My hands are pretty clean.

Thank you very, very much.

Thank you very...

Thank you. That was great.

I smell much better now...

Yes...

Oh, Christ.

I smell like a yak.

No, no, please. No more.

Please.

Please, no more.

I'm fine. I'm clean, I'm...

I'm...

I thought... you were

one of the other... cleaning...

No. No, no, no, no. You don't...

You don't have to do that. Please.

Maybe you should go.

Okay? It's okay.

Maybe you should go.

No, it's okay. It's all right.

Here, let me take care of it.

No, no, no.

It's me.

I wanted to thank you. I wanted...

I'm very... I'm very happy.

Thank you.

Um...

Daniel.

Daniel.

No. Uh... I'm, uh...

Daniel.

I'm Daniel.

Sha'uri.

Sha'uri.

Uh... you, uh...

We came...

This...

...pyramid.

See, we...

...we came from the pyramid.

It's... it's okay.

Never mind.

It's okay.

Earth.

You... you know the symbol?

You know the symbol?

You've seen... the symbol?

Show me.

You show me.

Kawalsky, this is base.

Do you copy?

You're wasting the battery.

You won't get anything in this

storm. Wait till it passes.

Yeah, right.

If it passes.

What the hell is goin' on?

All right, spread out.

Behind the columns - move!

It's okay. It's just a lighter.

See?

Here.

Yeah, it's pretty fabulous.

Yeah, you're right.

It's pretty stupid.

No, you... keep it.

It's yours.

No!

It's dangerous!

What is this place?

Cypian.

Rem-e-n-jef.

Bah-ka-naf Sema.

Tah-pah-rief.

I'll be damned!

Tah-pah-rief?

What?

Tah-pah-rief?

Tah-pah-rief?

Tah-pah-rief.

Tah-pah-rief.

Tah-pah...

Neh-jed?

Neh-jed?

Neh-dah.

Neh-dah. Neh-dah.

Tiu.

Tiu. Tiu.

Ah...

Netjer?

Netjer-u?

Bah? Netjer-u?

Natay.

Naturu.

Natay. Naturu.

Nafi.

No signal at all?

Nothing.

More interference?

No.

They're simply not there.

I haven't been able

to locate Jackson, sir.

I'm looking for Jackson.

Jackson.

The guy who wears this jacket.

He's, uh, he's got, like,

long hair that comes down...

No...

No, no, no. It...

He wears glasses...

...so he can see.

I guess the word "dweeb"

doesn't mean anything to you guys.

I'm on planet X looking for a dweeb

who wears green fatigues.

He wears this jacket.

He's got long hair.

It comes over his eyes,

he wears glasses, and...

...sneezes.

Chicken.

Chicken.

Chicken. Chicken man. You got it.

You want this?

I thought

you couldn't speak their language.

Hi... Scared me.

It's an ancient Egyptian dialect.

Unlike the rest of their culture,

it's evolved independently.

But once you know the vowels...

Just answer the question.

Well, I mean, I just

had to learn how to pronounce it.

It hasn't been a living,

spoken language...

...in more than 1,000 years.

Look at this. It says

a traveller from distant stars...

...escaped from a dying world...

...looking for a way

to extend his own life.

His body decaying and weak,

he couldn't prevent his own demise.

Apparently, his whole species

was becoming extinct.

So he travelled...

...or searched the galaxies...

...looking for a way to cheat death.

And, uh...

...look here.

He came to a world rich with life...

...where he encountered

a primitive race.

Humans.

A species which, with all

his powers and knowledge...

...he could maintain indefinitely.

He realised within a human body

he had a chance for a new life.

Now, he apparently found

a young boy.

It says as the frightened villagers

ran, night became day.

Curious and without fear,

he walked towards the light.

Ra took him

and possessed his body...

...like some kind of a parasite

looking for a host.

And, inhabiting this human form,

he appointed himself ruler.

He used the Stargate to bring

people to this planet...

...as workers for the mines.

Just like the one we saw.

This mineral is the building

block of all his technology.

With this

he can sustain eternal life.

Now...

...something happened on Earth.

A rebellion or uprising,

and the Stargate was buried there.

Fearful of a rebellion here,

Ra outlawed reading and writing.

He didn't want people

to remember the truth.

Jackson, I think

you'd better look at this.

That's it.

That's what we're looking for.

They must've hidden it here...

...in hopes that one day

the gate on Earth could be reopened.

I knew they'd have it

written down someplace.

Wait a minute.

Where's the seventh symbol?

It must have broken.

It's got to be here somewhere.

I got it here.

It's worn off.

I can't make it work

without the seventh symbol.

All right, that's it.

Kawalsky. Brown.

Come on, Jackson!

What the hell is that?

Here.

You might need this.

Look out!

Where are we going?

Why are we going to the Stargate?

I can't make it work.

Stay here and shoot anything

that comes down that ramp.

What are you doing?

Just cover me.

What is that?

- What are you looking for?

- It's gone.

Put it down, Jackson.

You have come here to destroy me.

What is that?

It's a bomb, isn't it?

That's what you were looking for.

What the hell were you thinking?

What did you come here for?

Wait! Don't!

Wait!

No! No!

Colonel! It's me!

You all right?

Where's Jackson?

Sha'uri, what happened here?

Ra punished us.

Why?

What happened to Daniel?

What happened to Daniel?

Son, we should not have helped

the strangers.

I was dead?

Your bodies, so easy to repair.

You have advanced much...

...harnessed the power of the atom.

What are you going to do?

You should not

have reopened the gate.

Soon, I will send your weapon

back to your world...

...with a shipment of our mineral...

...which will increase

your weapon's destructive power...

...a hundredfold!

Why would you do that?

I created your civilisation.

Now I will destroy it!

But before my workers

question my authority...

...you will prove

that I am their one god...

...by killing your companions.

If I refuse?

Then I will destroy you...

...and all who have seen you.

There can only be one Ra!

Sha'uri...

...Ra has called an assembly...

...an execution.

Skaara, Nabeh,

I want you all to listen.

We can't let this happen.

I want you to know

what Daniel told me...

...about where our people

came from...

...and why we can no longer

live as slaves.

Come on!

Freeman!

Freeman!

Over there! Come on!

Kawalsky!

Jacson!

To our victory!

We recovered your weapons.

Here, Colonel.

So what do you think?

They're not exactly

Special Forces...

...but they sure were

eager to join up!

Take these guns away
