of the cover stones.

Now, on the outer track...

...these figures

that you had believed...

...to be words to be translated

were, in fact...

Sorry about that.

Were, in fact, star constellations.

These constellations

were placed in a unique order...

...forming a map

or an address of sorts.

Seven points to outline

a course to a position.

And, uh...

...to find the destination within

any three-dimensional space...

...we need six points...

...to determine an exact location.

You said you needed seven points.

Well, no. Six for the destination.

But to chart a course you need...

...a point of origin.

Except there's only six symbols

in the cartouche.

The seventh actually

isn't inside the cartouche.

It's below it here...

...designated

by a little pyramid with...

...two...

...funny...

...neat little guys...

...and a funny little line

coming out of the top.

Anyway, uh...

He did it.

No! That symbol

isn't anywhere on the device.

What device?

Show him.

What is that?

It's your "Stargate".

Come, Jackson.

"Technical personnel

report to command centre."

Monitors up!

Monitors are up.

Mitch, bring up the details

on the centre monitor, please.

I've got details... on.

Hold it!

Wait.

Do you have a?

Oh, here. Sorry.

Hey, hey, hey, don't!

Two figures...

...on either side...

...praying beside a pyramid

with the sun directly above it.

He's right.

It was in front of us

the whole time.

General West...

...Jackson has identified

the seventh symbol.

Go ahead.

Programming seventh symbol

into computer.

Chevron one is holding.

Chevron one is locked in place.

Power output at 23 per cent.

Chevron two is holding.

"Engage."

Chevron two is locked in place.

We're at 35 per cent.

We got a condition red in the gate.

Evacuate all personnel.

Area secure. Heading back.

Seal off the door.

It was under the cover stones?

Yes. My father found it in 1928.

Made out of a mineral

unlike any found on Earth.

Chevron five locked in place.

Chevron six is holding.

Chevron six is locked in place.

This is as far as we have

ever been able to get.

Chevron seven...

"Engage."

Chevron seven is locked in place.

Send in the probe.

Let's go! Let's go!

Yes, sir.

Record all information

from the Stargate.

Clear inner silo for approach.

"Clear inner silo."

Everybody outta here!

Let's go, let's go.

It's guiding itself.

Can you believe that?

The beam has locked itself

onto a point somewhere...

...in the Kaliam galaxy.

It has mass. It could be a moon

or a large asteroid.

Where are we on that map?

The blue dot.

That's right, Jackson.

It's on the other side

of the known universe.

We're losing the signal.

This is the information
