The Stargate base is put in deadly peril when it is contaminated with a dangerous infection which causes its victims to become mindlessly animalistic brutes.

00:00When we completed interviews of all the refugees you brought back from Chulak, ten of them
00:15identified the final four symbols the goals used to escape through the Chulak Stargate.
00:20When we disregard the last one as point of origin, that leaves three to work with.
00:28Captain Carter's computer model has thus far extrapolated only one set of symbols from
00:33the Avidos cartouche that contains these three glyphs.
00:36Let me guess, that's where we're going.
00:40Very good, Captain.
00:41Thank you, sir.
00:42I pride myself on my deductive reasoning skills.
00:47In one hour you will go through the gate to the planet represented by these symbols.
00:52It has been designated P3X-797.
00:55Shouldn't we call this planet something that's a little easier to remember?
00:58It's based on a binary code the computer uses for extrapolation.
01:01Which makes it much easier to remember.
01:04We sent an MALP probe through 30 minutes ago.
01:08Atmosphere is breathable, no detectable radiation, temperature approximately 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
01:12Do we see the video playback, sir?
01:16There is no playback.
01:18Why no playback?
01:19It appears to be very dark where the gate resides on this planet.
01:24Well, the MALP probe has lights on it, doesn't it?
01:28We think they were broken during transport through the gate.
01:31This is crazy.
01:32We don't know what could be there waiting for us when we come through.
01:35Don't you worry, boys.
01:36That's why the SG-3 marines are coming with.
01:39You can count on us to watch your backsides.
01:41Actually, it's more my front side I was worried about.
01:47Chevron 4, encoded.
01:52Chevron 5, encoded.
01:55You're late.
01:56Put these on.
01:57Doesn't look like my prescription.
01:59Chevron 6, encoded.
02:01Thermal night vision goggles.
02:03Hey, here's a question.
02:05Why doesn't the MALP have a set of these?
02:08Chevron 7, locked.
02:11Chevron 7, locked.
02:18SG-1 and SG-3, you have a go.
02:21Repeat, you have a go.
02:23Okay, we'll take point.
02:27We'll go through first.
02:29You watch our love and backsides, remember?
02:31Have it your way, flyboy.
02:35Are you out of your mind?
02:38Your SCAR or charret are on the other side.
02:40Those jarheads will open fire as soon as they see the light of their eyes,
02:43if you know what I mean.
02:44You want that?
02:48Give us a ten count, then come on down.
03:08One-one thousand.
03:11Two-one thousand.
03:38Come on.
03:51Man out.
04:07Come on.
04:38Come on.
04:48I'm real glad it was you who took point.
04:53No, I'm okay. Thanks for asking.
04:56Anybody else?
04:58I think so.
04:59What were those things?
05:01I have the slightest idea.
05:07Let's go.
05:37Let's go.
06:07Let's go.
06:30Judge!
06:37Judge!
06:51Daniel, what are they?
06:53Well, they don't look completely homo sapien.
06:56The larger brow ridge would imply a homo erectus,
06:59but then again, they'd have canine teeth.
07:01It could be australopithecus,
07:03but the brow ridge would be less prominent.
07:05No.
07:07Why does that one female look different?
07:09She looks more human.
07:13We have to stop her.
07:15No, that's...
07:17Prehistoric males probably always had sex forcibly.
07:20The strongest male gets to mate, that's survival of the fittest.
07:23Yeah, well, I call it rape. I think we should stop it.
07:25Carter.
07:30Where are those rocks coming from?
07:32There.
07:35Make peace.
07:37You and your men take a wide left flank.
07:39We'll take the right. Go.
07:41Let's go.
07:52Don't move!
07:55All right, hold your fire.
07:57What were your weapons?
07:59They could be cool.
08:01Just keep them covered.
08:06There's no entry scar.
08:09They're not ghouls, nor are your weapons, kids.
08:16Any idea what they are?
08:18My lord, we are the Untouched.
08:20I am High Councilor Tubler.
08:22We are pleased the gods have deemed us worthy of a return visit.
08:26Gods?
08:28Only the gods come through the Stargate.
08:30I think they're talking about us.
08:32We should probably start getting used to this kind of treatment.
08:34Enough of crying out loud. We're not gods. Get up.
08:36Please, come on.
08:40Perhaps they wish us to treat them as mortals. A test?
08:44Please, let us take you to the Land of Light.
09:04The Land of Light
09:35I love what they've done with the place.
09:39I was going to do my living room like this, but it didn't go with my other stuff.
09:43Looks Minoan.
09:45Welcome. Please, come. Sit.
10:05Is she all right?
10:07I do hope.
10:09She is my daughter.
10:11What's her name?
10:13She is called Malosha.
10:15I can only hope we rescued her in time from the hands of the Touched.
10:19We must now wait to see if she has been cursed by them.
10:23The creatures that took her, what were they exactly?
10:26They are the Touched.
10:28They were unfortunate enough to be cursed by the Helksha.
10:31Helksha?
10:33Helksha. There's a word like that on Abydos.
10:36It's like gods of the earth.
10:37Gods of the underworld. Evil gods.
10:40The Helksha needed only to touch the unfortunate among us, and they would become possessed.
10:45Pure evil, like wild animals.
10:48So these Touched people used to live here with you?
10:53They were us, until they changed.
10:56They became too dangerous, and we were forced to banish them to the Land of the Dark.
11:02And where are these evil gods now?
11:05Oh, they do not show themselves.
11:07We know only of their presence because of their actions.
11:10When was the last time the good gods came around?
11:13Well, if you are not them, then it has been at least a generation.
11:20A generation.
11:25Okay, um, will you excuse us for a moment?
11:29No, please don't.
11:31Wait a minute.
11:42Sounds like the ghouls aren't here and haven't been for some time.
11:46That is my assessment as well.
11:47Daniel, Carter.
11:48I agree.
11:49In that case, gear up. We'll move out in 15 minutes.
11:52Wait a minute, move out?
11:54Yeah. Back to the Stargate, back to Earth, terra firma, home, you've heard of it?
11:58Uh, well, we should stay a while longer and study the society,
12:02learn how they've evolved the Minoan culture.
12:04I mean, you see those statues over there? Those are bulls.
12:07The bull was all throughout Minoan culture on Earth, but we never really knew why.
12:11Hey, I'm a big fan of all this stuff,
12:13but art appreciation is not what this mission is about.
12:17Get your gear together.
12:29Oh!
12:49Find anything?
12:50Uh, no, sir. Yes, sir.
12:52Uh, actually, sir, we found a whole hell of a lot, sir.
12:55Some beautiful decor, nice folks, nothing of strategic importance, sir.
12:59All right, get cleaned up. Mission debrief in half an hour.
13:02Yes, sir.
13:08I'm sorry, sir, I know I'm a guest at this party, but I have to protest.
13:11I'm a guest, doctor. Is this the science versus military discussion again?
13:15Well, yes. This mission was a perfect example of my argument.
13:17We should have stayed on that planet longer.
13:19It was the perfect opportunity to study Minoan culture.
13:22Not to mention primitive man.
13:23This really isn't necessary, doctors. I've already...
13:25Sir, would you let me finish, please?
13:27Okay. Um, the people on the dark side are pre-Stone Age,
13:30but the people on the light side are clearly from the Bronze Age,
13:33so what better opportunity to study the Broca Divide?
13:35What?
13:36Excuse me.
13:37The Broca Divide.
13:38Pierre Paul Broca was a 19th century anthropologist.
13:41He founded modern craniometry to study craniums and brains
13:44and to compare the divide in intelligence between early species of mankind.
13:48Fascinating.
13:50Should I start the debriefing, sir?
13:52Well, that would be a good idea, colonel.
13:54Now, just wait a minute.
13:56Dr. Jackson, you're wasting your breath. You've already won the argument.
13:59But I have to insist that you... What? I've already won?
14:02The president agrees with you.
14:04He's asked that we evaluate the scientific and cultural value of each mission from now on.
14:08Oh, for crying out loud.
14:10He has.
14:11That's great.
14:14I wonder how that thing in your gut would like his neck ripped in half.
14:18Please release me, Lieutenant Johnson.
14:20Let him go.
14:21Not until this ghoul apologizes.
14:24Lieutenant Johnson, take your seat now.
14:26Now!
14:35General, I would prefer to not hurt this man.
14:45What is your problem, Marine?
14:48Take him to the infirmary.
14:49Tell them to keep him in restraints and check him out.
15:01So what do you think that was all about with Johnson?
15:03I don't know. Beats me.
15:05Maybe he was drunk.
15:07I don't know.
15:08Didn't quite seem like inebriation.
15:12What the...
15:17Ah!
15:34I don't know. I didn't see anything.
15:38We need medics. Section C stat. Two men down.
15:48Carter, uh...
15:50I'm sorry. I didn't know you were in here.
15:54Hey!
15:55Hey!
15:56What the hell is going on?
15:57I'm right here.
15:58Why? I didn't even know.
16:00Carter, this is a little out of line.
16:02You know, I should think...
16:04You want me?
16:05No. No.
16:07Not like this.
16:08Right on the...
16:10You know, I'm not going to let you get away with this.
16:12I'm not going to let you get away with this.
16:14I'm not going to let you get away with this.
16:17Carter, what's gotten into you?
16:24It's about time you saw a doctor, Doctor.
16:34Keep her from hurting herself until the sedatives take effect.
16:39Is this pretty much what Johnson has?
16:41Oh, I'd say so.
16:42And the other members of the team.
16:44This is the strangest thing I've ever seen.
16:46Come on, take a look.
16:53We converted DEFCON 1 living compartments from when this place was a missile silo into isolation chambers.
16:58You never know what you're going to bring back through the Stargate.
17:07Notice the swelling of the brow ridge?
17:09Some are even developing new follicle growth.
17:11Any idea what's causing it?
17:13Wish I knew.
17:14I got calls into every specialist in the service,
17:16but I've got one hand-tied bay on my back
17:18because of the need-to-know classification of the Stargate pancreas.
17:21And it's spreading.
17:22We got two more in an hour later.
17:33I've never seen a behavioral disorder like this.
17:35All the victims are acting like animals.
17:43Do you think Carter has the same thing?
17:45The behavior fits.
17:46All the victims are behaving like primitives.
17:49Most female low-level primates tend to choose their sexual partners
17:53according to who would give them the strongest offspring.
17:55The leaders of a pack or a tribe are usually the prime choice.
17:59You should be flattered.
18:00Oh, yeah. I'm honored.
18:05Jack!
18:07I got on the Internet to do a little research on Australopithecus,
18:10and, wow, what happened to you?
18:14Oh, I got in a little wrestling match with Carter.
18:17Why?
18:19I guess she's got whatever Johnson's got.
18:22I had to drag her off to the infirmary.
18:24What, did she start a fight with you like Johnson did with Tilk?
18:27No, she, uh...
18:29She tried to seduce me.
18:32Oh.
18:35You poor man.
18:37No, it wasn't like that.
18:39She was like a wild animal. She was nuts.
18:41Well, is she all right?
18:43I should go see her.
18:44Why?
18:46What do you mean, why? Because I care about her.
18:48You care about her? What does that mean?
18:50It means I care about her. She's my friend.
18:53No, like...
18:54Don't!
18:55She's not yours to care about.
18:56What the hell are you talking about?
18:57I'm talking about Samantha. You just stay away from her, okay?
18:59Okay.
19:00Okay, Jack.
19:02I think you should come with me to the infirmary, okay?
19:04Just let go of me and...
19:05Go away!
19:08Get in here!
19:12Come on.
19:20Are you okay?
19:34We've managed to isolate an organism in the victim's bloodstreams.
19:37Organism? Like a parasite or something?
19:39More like a parasitical virus.
19:41And from what I can tell, it seems to feed on alenes and cholines,
19:44chemical transmitters in the body that includes neurotransmitters.
19:47As they're depleted, all but the most primitive parts of the brain seem to just shut down.
19:51Is that why they act like animals?
19:53Actually, the organism seems to release a hormone
19:55that stimulates the primitive regions of the brain that are normally dormant.
19:58I have never seen anything like this on Earth.
20:00Exactly, on Earth. That would explain the touch.
20:05Beg your pardon?
20:06Beg your pardon?
20:07That's what the primitives were called on P3X797.
20:10The touched.
20:12But I think, given recent events,
20:14I think it's safe to say that they aren't born primitive.
20:16They must have this very contagious disease.
20:18And we came in contact with them. Isn't that special?
20:21So, the question is, why haven't you and Mr. Tilk come down with the symptoms?
20:25Um, Mr. Tilk. Tilks.
20:27Symbiote probably protects him.
20:29That would be likely.
20:30Well, what about you, Dr. Jackson?
20:32Well, that beats me. You're the doctor, doctor.
20:34Maybe I have a natural immunity.
20:36Perhaps you will develop symptoms later.
20:38Thank you for the moral support.
20:39I am checking both of your blood for the presence of the organism,
20:42and I would bet that you both have it.
20:44This appears to be highly contagious.
20:46Are you saying we could have brought a new plague to this planet?
20:50Yes, sir. That's exactly what I'm saying.
20:52Well, that's it. I'm ordering this mountain sealed off.
20:55No one comes in or goes out until we get a handle on this thing.
21:04Ah!
21:10Containment.
21:11Reach sub-level 28.
21:19Ah!
21:23He's going to damage himself.
21:24I've been pumping him with sedatives to control him, but they wear off fast.
21:27Help me give him some more.
21:28Go! Go!
21:30Ah!
21:32Ah!
21:34Ah!
21:38Ah!
21:48Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
22:03Sir, I'm afraid I have a serious situation here.
22:06It appears we've brought a very contagious disease through the Stargate.
22:11Yes, sir, that's right.
22:14Well, sir, I voted the Mountain Sealed off,
22:16but I think you should order in an Armored Division to set up a second line of defense.
22:23Well, sir, my recommendation is that anyone attempting to cross the Mountain Sealed
22:29Well, sir, my recommendation is that anyone attempting to leave the Mountain should be shot on sight
22:34and their body burned.
22:45Good news, General.
22:47I'll use some of that about now. What is it?
22:49These gentlemen don't appear to have the organism in their system.
22:51Now, if we can just isolate why they've been able to resist it.
22:54Perhaps we should ask the Untouchables.
22:56Perhaps we should ask the Untouched how they avoid contracting the disease.
22:58Maybe they know something we don't.
23:00I could use a blood sample from one of the uninfected.
23:02Maybe they have something in their systems to protect them.
23:04Something we can synthesize.
23:13All right, either of you know how to draw blood.
23:16Dr. Tietzen, you go through and half an hour. You're immune.
23:19Wait, wait, wait. Just the two of us?
23:22You're immune. I don't know anyone else who is.
23:25Anyone else who is?
23:35Do not worry, Daniel Jackson.
23:37The Touched are frightened by your allowance with weapons.
23:40We can easily subdue them.
23:42That's easy for you to say.
23:55Joke.
24:17It's Milosha. She's alive.
24:20It appears she's a woman.
24:22Milosha. She's alive.
24:24It appears she's afflicted.
24:27So they just dump her out here?
24:29We dump them in a small room.
24:32To protect them?
24:33To protect everyone else. There's little difference.
24:38You're right. They're like lepers.
24:41On the dark side, it's a leper colony.
24:43What is a leper?
24:46God, never mind. We have to help her.
24:52Are you planning on helping me?
24:55It's a long journey. We should leave her.
24:58No. Now let's go.
25:12Dick?
25:13Fire your weapon. We'll frighten them off.
25:23No!
25:27Daniel Jackson.
25:34Daniel.
25:38Daniel Jackson.
25:52Daniel.
26:06Sorry, Colonel Onio, but your private room just became semi-private.
26:11We're running out of places to put all the victims.
26:13We've used the brigs. We've used the temp quarters.
26:15Some of the storage rooms.
26:19Doc.
26:22Did you say something?
26:24Give more.
26:26What? Give more what?
26:35An injection? You mean you want more sedative?
26:39You've already had more than the maximum safe dosage.
26:41Twice as much as anyone else because you've been more violent.
26:43Give.
26:44No. It's not safe.
26:47Give!
26:50Give.
26:52Why are you so insistent?
27:23Must have been in a lot of pain.
27:34Colonel Onio?
27:42Me.
27:46So you are still in there somewhere.
27:48Cree.
27:50Cree.
27:53I'm afraid not, Colonel. It's very real.
27:56Okay.
27:58This is interesting.
27:59Enough sedative must not back the primitive mind.
28:02Colonel, listen to me.
28:03I am not going to be able to keep you at this level very long.
28:05It is too dangerous. It could cause permanent brain damage.
28:09What?
28:10Huh?
28:13Why don't you just leave me alone?
28:16What is it?
28:17It's a parasitic virus.
28:19All we can tell is that it seems to mess with body chemicals, all of them.
28:22Testosterone levels skyrocket, thus the aggressive behavior.
28:25It's a histaminolytic, which means it breaks down histamine.
28:28Experiment.
28:29What?
28:30Experiment.
28:31What?
28:33Experiment on you.
28:35No, sir. I can't do that.
28:37Yeah.
28:39You're crazy.
28:45You're crazy.
29:04Welcome back, my lord.
29:05Where are your friends?
29:07My friends are ill because of this place.
29:09They have joined the Touched.
29:11They were cursed by the Heal Show.
29:13It is not a curse. It is a disease.
29:17I lost my friend on the dark side of this planet.
29:20You must help me retrieve him.
29:22Why?
29:23So he can give you the curse? So he can give all of us the curse?
29:26No, no. He is better off where he is.
29:28He does not have the disease.
29:30He is immune.
29:31He is not cursed.
29:33Then by now, he is gone.
29:37He had your daughter with him.
29:39Milosha is dead.
29:42No.
29:43She is out there.
29:44On the dark side, I have seen her.
29:47Help me retrieve her and my friend.
29:51She is among the Touched.
29:53She can no longer function amongst us.
29:56Therefore, she is dead.
29:58She is not dead.
30:00If I believed otherwise, do you not think I would help my own daughter?
30:05Many of us have loved ones among the Touched.
30:08My own father is there.
30:10But we accept that we cannot help them.
30:13Therefore, they are dead to us.
30:16How can you be so without heart?
30:20I must ask you to leave.
30:23If you will not help me find my friend,
30:25then I must have a sample of your blood.
30:28Our blood?
30:29Blood is our life force.
30:31I assure you, it will cause you no harm.
30:34I cannot abide this one in my presence any longer.
30:41You are not welcome here.
30:44When we return, I expect to find you gone.
31:10I am sorry.
31:40Ah!
31:51All personnel, please be advised that the mountain is now under a Code 5 Lockdown.
31:57This means the mountain is now under a Code 5 Lockdown.
32:01Thank God you're back.
32:02What happened to Captain Carter?
32:04She was stabbed by her roommate.
32:06Don't worry, it's superficial. She's going to be okay.
32:09We've run out of space.
32:10We've had to start doubling up on the ISO rooms.
32:12I have retrieved the blood sample you requested.
32:15Good work, Mr. Teok.
32:19Colonel Teok.
32:25Teok.
32:31I am afraid I lost Daniel Jackson on the dark side of the planet.
32:37I am sorry.
32:40Colonel O'Neill?
32:41I think I might have something.
32:46I was examining the blood sample that Mr. Teok brought me.
32:48Then it hit me.
32:49There was very little histamine in it.
32:53If the people on that planet are human, as you say, they have to have histamine in their blood.
32:57How does this help us?
32:59Well, as I said before, this microbe is a histaminelytic.
33:01It feeds on histamine.
33:03The untouched have no histamine in their bodies, so the organism couldn't survive in them.
33:06I do not understand.
33:07It is the untouched that become the touched.
33:09If they have none of the substance of which you speak, why then do some of them change?
33:14Because only some of them have this low histamine level,
33:16which means there is probably a naturally occurring antihistamine in their diets.
33:20The ones who don't eat it eventually contract the organism, which is what gave me an idea.
33:25I checked the files.
33:26Both Dr. Jackson and I have acute rhinitis caused by severe allergies.
33:30Explain.
33:31I take strong antihistamines every day.
33:33So did Dr. Jackson.
33:35I have no histamine for the microbe to feed on.
33:37Just like the untouched, the organism starves in my body.
33:41Does this mean you have a cure?
33:45We have to try megadoses of chloropheniramine malleate on someone and see if it works.
33:51I thought you might say that.
33:53Now, the dose required for the antihistamine to work,
33:57I thought you might say that.
33:59Now, the dose required to completely clear the body of histamine for a long enough time could be harmful.
34:05You're sure?
34:23Now all we can do is wait.
34:25You better lock him up again.
34:27Now all we can do is wait.
34:29Now all we can do is wait.
34:55Kale!
34:56Doc, open the door!
34:58Kale!
35:01Colonel O'Neil?
35:02Lucy, I'm home.
35:05I am not Lucy.
35:07I know that.
35:08It was a reference to an old tea...
35:10Never mind, open the door.
35:12I will summon the doctor.
35:13No, no, come on, I'm fine.
35:15I'm back to being myself.
35:16Just open up.
35:17I cannot be certain you are back to being yourself.
35:20You refer to me as Lucy.
35:22Oh, for crying out loud, will you just open the door?
35:28This stuff works.
35:29Let's find Doc.
35:38Chevron 3 encoded.
35:48That's the opposite.
35:50Chevron 4, encoded.
35:52The guns are loaded with tranquilizer darts filled with chlorofeniran.
35:55Now a direct hit on a touched man or woman
35:57should knock them out long enough in order to start the disease.
36:00Chevron 5, encoded.
36:02Thanks, Doc.
36:05Are we going to try to tranq all the touched?
36:07Just the ones that get in the way of us finding Daniel.
36:09Leave the rest for the untouched.
36:11Do you think he's still alive?
36:13Chevron 7, time.
36:19Let's find out.
36:26Oh, shit.
36:37I guess he had a histamine war off.
36:55Daniel, you dog.
36:57Keep this up, you'll have a girl on every planet.
37:00Just let me give him an injection.
37:26Oh, shit.
37:52What are you doing?
37:54Let's not bring the touched among us.
37:55Leave now.
37:56Just hear us out, please.
37:58We found a cure.
37:59And we can bring back Malosha.
38:01And your father.
38:05Put him in the isolation circle.
38:08We will hear you.
38:17Let him pass.
38:25Please.
38:46If you are not gods, then how did you destroy the curse?
38:50As we've been saying, Tublo, it's not a curse.
38:53It's a disease.
38:54A sickness.
38:55Jack.
38:58There's our boy.
39:04Where are we?
39:05The light side of P3X797.
39:09I thought we were going to give it a better name.
39:12He's back.
39:13He's normal.
39:14Explain.
39:16We know how to lift the curse.
39:19Well, if you are not gods.
39:21Come out there with us.
39:22We'll show you.
39:52Father.
40:17You have done it, my lord.
40:20Thank you.
40:22We'll teach you how to take care of the rest.
40:29Sir.
40:30Yeah.
40:32About my earlier behavior.
40:34I wasn't myself.
40:35Oh, Carter.
40:36I don't even remember your earlier behavior.
40:39You don't?
40:40No.
40:41I was infected too, remember?
40:42Right.
40:43Good.
40:44I'm glad.
40:46By the way, how's the wound?
40:48Wound?
40:49I understand you got stabbed in the stomach or something.
40:52Oh, yeah.
40:53It's nothing.
40:54With any luck, there won't even be a scar.
40:55Oh, good.
40:56I was concerned.
40:58You were?
40:59Sure.
41:01If it doesn't heal properly,
41:02you'll never wear that sweet little tank top number again.
