Synopsis: Episode starts at the SGC with SG-1 about to go to P2X 555. Carter is taking too long in the control room, so O'Neill tells her to hurry up. She tells him they have to be very careful because of the likelihood for solar flares this time of year. Before Carter gets to the Gate room, though, General Hammond gives her a note and tells her to keep it with her until they get to the other side. SG-1 then goes through the Stargate...and ends up back at the SGC. Nobody's around. Suddenly the SGC changes to become an empty room. Empty, except for the butt end of a missile directly above them. A voice announces a countdown until they test the missile. O'Neill, Carter and Daniel try to get someone's attention to stop the test. Teal'c, remaining perfectly calm (like normal) simply takes out his zat gun and shoots the missile. Needless to say, it doesn't go off. Soldiers rush into the room when the test fails and captures SG-1.

A young lieutenant discovers the note General Hammond gave to Carter and reads it. The scene then shifts to SG-1 sitting in a cell, discussing their situation. Carter says she thinks they've gone back in time, roughly 30 years. She also warns everyone that they have to be extremely careful who they talk to and what they do while in they're in the past to prevent the "Grandfather Paradox." In other words, they could change history to the point that they might not exist in the future. O'Neill tells her to get them home. One of the guards in the pre-SGC base (Cheyenne Mountain) comes in and asks, in Russian, if they are Russian spies. Daniel, not thinking, replies in Russian that they're not. The guard assumes that they're Russian spies since they know Russian and hauls O'Neill out to speak to his superior, Major Robert Thornbird. While speaking to Thornbird, O'Neill refuses to answer any questions and says that his name is Captain James T. Kirk, then later Luke Skywalker. Thornbird doesn't buy it.

Next scene, SG-1 is being transferred via truck to some unknown destination. They're not sure how they're going to handle their newfound situation. Suddenly, the truck they're in gets a flat tire. The young lieutenant we saw reading the note earlier comes and talks to them, asking them why they had a letter addressed to him in his own handwriting. Carter notices his nametag reads "Hammond." They ask him the date and find out it's August 4, 1969. After repeating some carefully chosen details from Hammond's personal life to him, he believes their story about being from the future and agrees to help them escape. They knock out the other guards, destroy their advanced technology, stun Hammond with the zat gun to prevent him from being court-martialed, and escape into the forest.

They examine Hammond's note and try to come up with a new plan. The note reads "Help them. August 10th, 9:15 a.m., August 11th, 6:03 p.m." They decide something important is going to happen at those two times, they just need to figure out what. So, in the meanwhile, they need to hitchhike. Carter tries to stop a passing car on the highway while Daniel suggests that they find the young version of Catherine living in New York to help them locate the Stargate. The others agree. Teal'c, impatient when Carter can't get any cars to stop, walks out to the middle of the road and stands in front of a psychedelically painted bus. The bus stops, and the owners, two college-aged students or a little older named Michael and Jenny, agree to take them to New York because they're heading up there to Woodstock themselves. SG-1 gets some cheap hippie clothes to help them fit in with 1969 society, and they enjoy the ride through Amarillo, St. Louis, Chicago, and Philadelphia.

Somewhere between Philadelphia and New York, they have a nice little nighttime campfire going out in the woods. While watching the fire, Carter realizes that it was the solar flare that had caused the Stargate to send them back in time. The times General Hammond had given them were the times of the next two solar flares. All they had to do was find the Stargate and go through it at those exact times and they should be able to get back to 1999. Michael and Jenny overhear them talking and ask what they mean. SG-1 responds that they're from another planet and need help getting home. When O'Neill starts playing with the zat gun, they believe SG-1's story. Their journey continues.

Once in New York, O'Neill and Teal'c are let out of the bus at an old astronomical observatory to see if Carter's theory about the flare is correct. After another cute "It's Showtime" comment from O'Neill, they discover that Carter's right, it is the time of a solar flare. At 6:03 on August 11th, they'll be going home...if they can find the Stargate.

While O'Neill and Teal'c are at the observatory, Daniel and Carter pay a visit to a young Catherine. Daniel, using an...interesting...German accent, is able to convince Catherine to tell them that the Stargate is in an abandoned armory in Washington, D.C. Daniel, in turn, gets Catherine thinking about resuming her research on the Stargate by telling her that there should have been a second device found with the Stargate at Giza back in 1928 (the Dial Home Device, although he doesn't explicitly tell her that). In other words, SG-1 gets the Stargate program going in the first place back in 1969.

So back to the road we go in the psychedelic bus, this time heading to Washington, D.C. Right before they arrive at the armory, O'Neill thanks Michael and Jenny for being so "Groovy" in helping them out. Michael tells them that they want to go with them to their planet because he's been drafted in the Vietnam War, but Carter stops O'Neill from replying. They leave, never to see Michael and Jenny again. (Or will they show up in one of the future seasons, hmmm?)

Inside the armory, Daniel and Teal'c unlock the really big box the Stargate is being stored in, then they hook up a bunch of car engines to the Stargate to give it power. Some guards come in and try to stop them from going through, but SG-1 makes it out of the armory by diving through the Stargate. They find themselves back at the SGC, but this time it's abandoned. All the equipment is covered. Soon after, an older woman enters the room and addresses them each by name. When asked who she is, she replies that Sam would know her. Carter then discovers that it's actually Cassandra, all grown up. She says she's there to send them back to 1999 because they entered the Stargate a little too soon and ended up far in the future. She wishes she could talk to them more, but she can't because the timing must be precise. All she'll tell them is that their journey is just beginning. She opens the Stargate with a cool hand device and says they have to go, which they do. This time, they do arrive at 1999, where General Hammond gives them a warm welcome. They made it home.

Quotes:
O'Neill: "What is she doing?"
Daniel: "Ah...she said something about having to time the calculations exactly right this time of year."
O'Neill: "This time of year? What difference does it make?"
Daniel: "Ah, she said something about solar...ah...well, to be honest with you, I wasn't really paying attention."
O'Neill: "Really?" Turns toward the Control room where Carter's bending over a computer. "Carter?"
Carter: "Almost there, Sir. This time of year the direct line between P2X 555 and Earth takes us within 70,000 miles of the sun. I have to update the computer's drift calculation to include gravitational space-time warping."
O'Neill: "We know that! Let's go."

O'Neill, to Carter as she finally joins them in the Gate room: "Done already?"

O'Neill as the Stargate kinda...disappears: "Did you see that?"
Daniel, about the room they're in: "Ah, Jack, do you see this?"
O'Neill: "Captain Carter? Where are we?"
Carter: "I don't know, Sir. For a moment there we were back in the Gate room."
O'Neill: "You know, this looks suspiciously like the butt end of a Titan missile."
Voice over speaker: "Standing by for test burn in T-minus 20 seconds."
Teal'c: "What is a test burn?"
O'Neill: "Just what it sounds like."

O'Neill, as Teal'c shoots the missile with his zat gun: "How'd you know that would work?"
Teal'c: "I did not."

Sergeant, about SG-1's weapons: "The major wants all this stowed for transport, Sir."
Lieutenant: "What is it?"
Sergeant: "My orders are to forget I ever saw it, Sir, so I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about."

Carter: "I'm fairly certain that we've traveled back in time, roughly about thirty years. For a second or two, I think we were in both time frames simultaneously, which is why the Stargate seemed to be there one minute and was gone the next."
O'Neill: "Little bump in the calculations, Captain?"
Carter: "I'm sorry, Sir. I don't know what to say."
O'Neill: "Well, I tell ya what. Get us back home and we'll say it never happened."
Daniel: "Or get us back before we left and it won't happen. Well think about it. We're the first people in human history to go back in time...well, for all we know. If we could figure out how to do this again, just think of what we could do. We could actually visit Babylon. We could...we could... we could see the Great Wall of China being built."
Teal'c: "Or prevent regrettable events from your history from occurring."
Carter: "No. That's exactly what we can't do."
O'Neill: "Why not?"
Carter: "Because of the grandfather paradox. If you went back fifty years and murdered your own grandfather, your own father would never have been born."
Daniel: "Alright, so you're saying that if we change our own past...."
Carter: "We could change our world in ways we can't possibly imagine. We might even cease to exist along with everything and everyone we know."
Teal'c: "I myself have no part in the history of your world."
Carter: "But when they find out about the Goa'uld threat they might have second thoughts about opening the Stargate in the first place. In which case we never meet, and you're back to being First Prime of Apophis."
Teal'c: "I see."
Daniel: "So...we don't tell them about the Goa'uld."
Carter: "How are we going to explain the larval Goa'uld that Teal'c is carrying? Our advanced weapons? Our GDOs?"
O'Neill: "Correct me if I'm wrong, Captain, but haven't we altered history already just by being here?"
Carter: "We have to concentrate on damage control. At the very least destroy our advanced weapons and technology."
O'Neill: "That's going to be a little tough."
Carter: "We also cannot tell anyone anything about who we are or where we're from."
O'Neill: "This is a top-secret facility. Anonymity does not go over big here."
Carter: "We cannot tell them we're from the future, Sir, even if it means..." The door opens and the Sergeant enters.
Sergeant, in Russian: "You soviet spies?"
Daniel: "Njet." ("No.")
O'Neill: "Daniel?"
Daniel: "He just asked if we were Soviet Spies. I just...." As the realization of what he just did finally dawns on him, a priceless expression ("How could I be so stupid?!") crosses his face. Poor Daniel. :) Some day he'll learn to think about what he's saying before he says it.
Sergeant: "Come with me."
O'Neill: "Sure. You bet." To Daniel as he's leaving, "Njet."

Thornbird: "I'm Major Robert Thornbird. And you are?"
O'Neill: "Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise."
Thornbird: "And your dog tags say otherwise."
O'Neill: "They're lying."
Thornbird: "Your American accent is very impressive, Mr. Kirk. Before we ship you out and hand you over to wherever it is they take spies such as yourself, I wanted a word. Your little incursion into our training facility will leave an embarrassing mark on my record."
O'Neill: "Training facility?"
Thornbird: "You don't think we'd test fire a real missile 28 floors inside a mountain, do you?"
O'Neill: "Listen, you don't have the exact date...?"
Thornbird: "What was the weapon you used?"
O'Neill: "Weapon?"
Thornbird: "Our cameras saw some sort of weapon."
O'Neill: "Oh. Well, it's hard to say."
Thornbird: "Some sort of state secret?"
O'Neill: "No. Just difficult to pronounce."
Thornbird: "Mister, my government doesn't take kindly to Soviet spies in its highest security facility. Neither do I."
O'Neill: "Oh. Bob...can I call you Bob?"
Thornbird: "Even though you achieve nothing."
O'Neill: "Unless that's exactly what we were trying to achieve."
Thornbird: "Kirk, you can talk to me or you can talk to the CIA."
O'Neill: "Ooh. Alright. I'll be honest with you, Bob. My name's not Kirk. It's Skywalker. Luke Skywalker."

O'Neill: "Listen, I don't know where we're headed but they'll probably try to split us up. So we're not going to have much time to..."
Carter: "Escape and hopefully live out the rest of our lives without affecting history."
O'Neill: "Or...?"
Carter: "I can't think of an 'or' at the moment, Sir."
Daniel: "No 'or'?"
O'Neill: "There's an 'or.'"
Daniel: "There's an 'or'?"
Carter: "You can't just will something to happen because you want it to be a certain way."
O'Neill: "Captain, where there's a will there's an or." (I wonder how many times it took Richard Dean Anderson to say that line while keeping a somewhat straight face? :) )

O'Neill: "Flat tire?"
Lieutenant: "I'm the one who arranged it. Before I can even think about doing what's in the note I need to know who you are. And who gave it to you."
Carter, seeing that the Lieutenant's nametag reads "Hammond": "Oh my God. My name is Samantha Carter and you gave me the note. Sir, before we left, General Hammond gave me a note and told me to keep it in my pocket until I got to the other side."
Young Hammond: "It's addressed to me in my handwriting."
O'Neill: "What's it say?"
Hammond: "Help them. And seeing as helping you will undoubtedly lead to court martial, I'd like to know what I would do that."
Carter: "Because it's your idea."
O'Neill: "Albeit one you won't have for thirty years..."
Hammond: "What?"
Carter: "I know this is kinda hard to understand, but that's roughly how far back in time we've traveled."
Hammond, thinking they're nuts: "I'm sorry. I can't help you."
Daniel: "Wait, wait. We can...we can prove it."
O'Neill: "Date. What's the date?"
Hammond: "August 4th, 1969."
O'Neill, to Daniel: "'69. What happened in '69?"
Daniel: "Um, the moon landing. Well, that was just a couple weeks ago, right?"
Hammond: "The entire world knows that."
O'Neill: "But not too many people know you watched it from your father's bedside in his hospital room, just two days after his first heart attack."
Hammond: "How did you know that?"
O'Neill: "Because we know you. We will know you. For some reason, thirty years ago you decided we were going to need help. Otherwise you wouldn't be standing there with a note. Now are you going to listen to yourself? Or not?"

O'Neill: "Alright, everything you confiscated from us is in these two boxes?"
Hammond: "Except for your ray gun, yes."
O'Neill: "Right. Watch yourself." He disintegrates the boxes with the zat gun. "Alright, your major what's-his-name had videotape of this thing in action."
Hammond: "Ah, yes, it was in those boxes along with everything else."
O'Neill: "Good. Got any cash?"
Hammond: "Ah, yeah, might have some."
O'Neill: "That's good. I'll pay you back. With interest."
Carter: "One more thing. You've got to keep everything you've seen and everything we've told you a secret and I mean for the rest of your life."
Hammond: "General Hammond. I like the sound of that. What are you going to do now?"
O'Neill: "Well, you're better off not knowing. But I do want you to know that what I'm about to do will keep you from getting court-martialed." He shoots Hammond with the zat gun.

Daniel: "So what's the plan?"
O'Neill: "Find the Stargate."
Daniel: "Find the Stargate? That's...that's the plan?"
O'Neill: "Elegant in its simplicity, don't you think?"
Daniel: "And if we don't find the Stargate?"
O'Neill: "There's one in Antarctica."
Daniel: "There's one in Antarctica. That's...that's a fabulous plan."
Teal'c: "Assuming we locate the Stargate, how then do we get back to the future?"
O'Neill: "Well, now, that's all in the note. Right?"
Carter: "Ah, no, Sir."
O'Neill: "No, Sir."
Carter: "Well, it doesn't explain how to get back. At least not explicitly." She hands him the note.
O'Neill: "Help them. August 10, 9:15 a.m., August 11, 6:03 p.m. That's helpful."
Carter: "Well, I suppose he had to be intentionally cryptic so as not to risk changing his history."
O'Neill: "August 10th. That's cryptic."
Daniel, reading the note: "Wait a second. That just means that on August 10th at 9:15 a.m. something's going to happen."
Carter: "And happen again the next day at 6:03. We just have to figure what that something is."
O'Neill: "Right."

O'Neill, watching the cars driving on the highway: "You know, the 'Vette blew it when they went with that body style. They used to be so cool."
Daniel: "Actually, I was about four and a half years old in '69."
O'Neill: "Carter, stick your thumb out."
Daniel: "We should go to New York."
O'Neill: "Why?"
Daniel: "Well, that's where Catherine used to live...or lives. She's probably the only other person outside of military who has the slightest idea where the Stargate might be. I really don't think she's going to tell us over the phone."
Carter: "Daniel, you can't. In order to preserve our past, Catherine has to meet you for the first time years from now."
Daniel: "Well, so we go in disguise. Pretend to be...foreigners."
O'Neill: "How're you going to do that?"
Daniel: "Well I speak 23 different languages, pick one. Catherine said herself she began to research in the late 60s. Maybe we're the ones who gave her the idea in the first place."
Teal'c, seeing Carter get nowhere with her hitchhiking skills: "This method appears to be ineffective." He walks toward the road.
O'Neill: "Teal'c? Teal'c!" Teal'c stands in front of a groovy, psychedelic painted bus and it stops. "What were you thinking?!"
Teal'c: "That is effective, O'Neill."

Michael: "Hey, we would've stopped, man..."
O'Neill: "Hi. Listen, we've got gas money. Where're you headed?"
Michael: "Upstate New York, some big concert. Where are you headed?"
O'Neill: "New York. Back east."
Michael: "Hop in!" SG-1 piles into the bus. To Teal'c: "Come on, ride up front with me, brother. It's cool. I'm Michael."
Teal'c: "I am not at liberty to reveal my identity."
Michael: "Far out."

Daniel: "Hello."
Jenny: "Hi. So what'd you do?"
Daniel: "We didn't...ah, we didn't do anything."
O'Neill: "We've got a little problem with...the Establishment."
Jenny: "I so relate to that."
Carter: "So, if you could take us as far as New York, we'd...."
Jenny: "I really love your hair."
Carter: "Thanks."
O'Neill: "Listen, we could really use some cheap clothes. So if you see a cheap clothes place around, we'd appreciate it."
Michael: "No sweat." To Teal'c about his tattoo: "So, ah, your thing, that thing, what's it symbolize? Peace?"
Teal'c: "Slavery. To false gods."
Michael: "Right on! So, um, it's made outta...."
Teal'c: "Do not discuss it further."
Michael: "I dig. It's cool. So you just go AWOL? Hey, we're cool! After the concert, me and Jenny, we're even thinking of crossing the border up to Canada."
Teal'c: "For what reason?"
Michael: "You know, man. The war."
Teal'c: "The war with Canada?"
Michael: "No."

Carter: "The flare."
O'Neill: "What?"
Carter: "That's the only explanation. We had to be sent back because of a solar flare."
Teal'c: "Was there not an error in your calculations?"
Carter: "I don't think so, Teal'c. But after the Abydos mission, when we couldn't get the gate to work again, I was asked to research alternative applications for the gate...including time travel."
O'Neill: "What'd you come up with?"
Carter: "Well, just this. What if a massive solar flare just happened to occur at the exact moment we were traveling between Earth and another Stargate? If the wormhole itself was redirected closer to the sun because of the flare's magnetic field, the increased gravity could slingshot us back to Earth."
Daniel: "Why haven't we tried this before?"
Carter: "Because flares are impossible to predict. Light takes several minutes to travel between the Earth and the sun so by the time a flare's sufficient magnitude has been confirmed, it's already too late."
Daniel: "Okay, if they're impossible to predict, how do we get ourselves home?"
Carter: "August 10, 9:15 a.m. It's the note."
O'Neill: "It's the time and date of the next flare?"
Carter: "Yeah. General Hammond must've used my own research to figure out what we needed."
Daniel: "Or maybe that's the reason he asked you to do the research in the first place."
Carter: "And then he looked up two flares in August of 1969 that could send us home."
O'Neill: "General Hammond, you old son of a..." Michael and Jenny join them by the campfire. "Hello. Soup?"
Michael: "Who are you guys?"
O'Neill: "Come on, have something to eat."
Michael: "I mean, traveling between the Earth and where? What's that about?"
Carter: "When I said that I was just imagining...."
Michael: "Oh, I don't think so, man."
Jenny: "You said that you were in trouble with the Establishment."
O'Neill: "And...we are."
Daniel: "We are."
O'Neill: "Just...not the establishment of this planet. No, it's true, Michael. We came to Earth to hide among your people a long, long time ago."
Daniel: "From a galaxy far, far away."
O'Neill: "But now it's time to go home, and we need your help."
Jenny: "How?"
Daniel: "We need to be in a place called New York by tomorrow."
Michael: "I don't know, man."
O'Neill, pulling out his zat gun: "It's alright." He shoots the fire and it bursts up even brighter.
Michael: "Whoa! that was unreal!"
Teal'c: "It was in fact extremely real. As is our need for assistance."
Jenny: "We have to help them get home, Michael."
Michael: "Okay, we'll do it."

Carter: "Sir, remember to use the hydrogen alpha solar filter."
O'Neill: "Or I'll burn my eyes out. I know."

O'Neill: "Alright, we've got one shot to prove Carter's theory. Don't screw it up, Jack."
Teal'c: "Is not astronomy one of your hobbies, O'Neill?"
O'Neill: "Not quite on this scale..."

Catherine: "Father never told me Heinrich Gruper had a son."
Daniel, speaking in a bad German/Swedish/whatever accent: "Well, I was but a small boy when they were working together, but my father often spoke of thy father as one of the few people in this world he could still trust."
Catherine: "Before we continue, I must ask, what was so important it couldn't be discussed over the telephone?"
Daniel: "My father believed there must have been a second artifact near that which thy father discovered in 1928."
Catherine, in German: "What do you know of it?" (Big thanks to Helen for verifying that the language was, indeed, German)
Daniel: "He referred to it in his notes as a 'doorway to heaven.'" He shifts into German: "We have found a fragment of a coverstone with some of the markings as the one uncovered all those years ago, but there was nothing underneath it."
Catherine, back in English: "You found only a fragment? Nothing beneath?"
Daniel, also in English: "Ah, the artifact had already been removed."
Catherine: "Oh, we always knew there had to be a second device with with to control the ring."
Daniel: "I realize these matters require the utmost propriety..."
Catherine: "Did your father ever explain to you the nature of the work he was doing in 1945?"
Daniel: "Only that the American military was under the mistaken impression that the device thy father discovered might hold some dark military purpose. Even that much I was sworn to secrecy."
Catherine: "There was an accident."
Daniel: "Ernest Littlefield."
Catherine: "When the war ended, my father and I were told never to speak of it again. It is simply locked away."
Daniel: "And you cannot tell me where?"
Catherine: "Some old armory in Washington, D.C. gathering dust. But it's pointless. The military won't even acknowledge it's existence."
Daniel: "Would you know which armory?"

O'Neill, looking into the telescope: "It's showtime. Brother Teal'c, at precisely 6:03 tomorrow, we're going home."

O'Neill: "Listen, I really have to say this. The two of you have been...unbelievably..."
Daniel: "Groovy."
O'Neill: "Groovy, I think, is the word."
Daniel: "Ah, the people of our world will be extremely grateful."
O'Neill: "Not the establishment."
Daniel: "No, not...not them."
O'Neill: "I think what we're trying to say is we have to go the rest of the way alone."
Jenny: "Why?"
O'Neill: "Because it's dangerous."
Michael: "We want you to take us with you."
O'Neill: "We can't do that."
Michael: "But you owe us."
O'Neill: "Yes, we do. We owe you a lot. But you belong here. You have to trust me on this. This is a great time."
Jenny: "Michael got drafted."
Michael: "We were just going to the concert first. You know, one last blast. But if we went with you.... I don't want to kill anybody."
O'Neill: "Michael...."
Carter: "Sir, you can't say anything. He has to make up his own mind. We can walk the rest of the way from here."
O'Neill: "We gotta go. I'm sorry."

O'Neill: "Auntie Em! Auntie Em!"
Carter: "Where is everyone?"
Woman: "Hello, Jack. Teal'c. Daniel. I hardly recognized you with hair!"
O'Neill: "Ahem, do...do we know you?"
Woman: "Sam will recognize me. Come closer."
Carter: "Oh my God, Cassandra!" They hug.
Cassandra: "Sam."
O'Neill: "Excuse me, who is this?"
Carter: "Cassandra."
O'Neill: "Cassie's thirteen years old."
Cassandra: "Not anymore, Jack. I've been expecting you my whole life, in fact. You entered the Stargate a few seconds too soon, so the flare threw you far into the future. I've come to send you back where you belong."
Daniel: "How'd you know we'd come here?"
Cassandra: "When I was old enough to understand, Sam explained what happened, and that I'd be the one to send you home."
Carter: "Like a self-fulfilling prophecy."
Cassandra: "Mm-hmm. As much as I would love to spend more time with you, the timing must be precise. You must go."
Carter: "Already? But there's so much that you..."
Cassandra: "No. You of all people know I can't." She opens the Stargate with a cool hand device. "I will tell you this. Your journey's just beginning."

O'Neill: "Yes! We're home! Thanks to one sparky young Lieutenant Hammond."
Carter: "How'd you know, Sir?"
Older Hammond: "When I was a young Lieutenant, I was ordered to escort four people out of Cheyenne Mountain. In the vest pocket of one I found a note with my name on it. Needless to say I followed its instructions."
Carter: "But you couldn't have know when to give it to me."
Hammond: "No, not until I saw the cut on your hand. Remember when I took your cuffs off."
Carter: "Then you've been waiting for this to happen."
Hammond: "Ever since we met. I almost didn't let you go."
Carter: "But if you didn't, you would've changed your own history."
Hammond: "It's going to be a long debriefing, people. We'll start in one hour."
O'Neill: "Yes, Sir."
Hammond: "Oh, by the way, Colonel, with interest you owe me $539.50."
O'Neill, all smiles: "Yes, Sir."
