(from internet transcript)
O'NEILL
Nice ride!
DANIEL
(grinning)
Yeah, Ancients like to fly in style.
[O'Neill heads for the cockpit, where he pauses appreciatively, soaking in the sight of all these cool new toys.]
O'NEILL
Nice!
(un-holsters his P-90 and sits in the pilot's seat)
Woo-hoo!
[Daniel hovers attentively at O'Neill's side, looking slightly nervous.]
O'NEILL
You're gonna have to help me out here, Carter. Got any quarters?
CARTER
Unfortunately I can't help you with this one, Sir, you're on your own.
O'NEILL
Fine! How do we know we're not gonna end up back at the Alamo?
CARTER
Um, well, for one thing, that was on Earth. But more importantly I've separated the time device from the control circuits (hesitates) I think. (comes forward to join Daniel and O'Neill) Concentrate on powering up the engines.
O'NEILL
Concentrate?
[Daniel and Carter wait expectantly, leaning forward intently while O'Neill closes his eyes and concentrates. Time passes.]
O'NEILL
(loud)
Got nothin'.
[Daniel and Carter jump at this sudden announcement]
DANIEL
Uh…Come on, Jack. You've already proven that the Ancient gene you possess allows you to operate Ancient technology. It's no different than, uh, the device in Antarctica. Just… (closes his eyes and reaches out an expressive hand)(slow, dramatic) Fffff…ocus your mind.
[Carter and O'Neill both turn slowly and stare at him in mild disbelief. Daniel looks self-conscious. Carter hides a smile while O'Neill impatiently pulls off his cap. O'Neill closes his eyes again and composes himself. After a moment, lights begin to appear on the flight console and the engines hum.]
DANIEL
Good. Good!
[As the engine noise builds, Daniel and Carter start to get excited. Then everything stops and fades to black and silence again. Daniel and Carter deflate.]
DANIEL
(sighs)
Not so good.
[Carter glances at him in fond amusement, trying to hide another smile. O'Neill steals a swift sidelong glance at Daniel, embarrassed.]
EXT—ANCIENT TEMPLE RUINS, DAY
[Maybourne leads Daniel, Carter and Teal'c through woodlands towards the ruins of a structure.]
MAYBOURNE
Okay. Here we are.
[There is a tall column, with several piles of tumbled rocks scattered around it. All of the ruins are of the same dark grey stone the village is constructed from.]
MAYBOURNE
I found this place about, oh, uh, ten months ago when I was on an afternoon stroll.
[As Maybourne draws SG-1 into the ruins, it becomes clear that the column is only one of many, each of them carved with clearly visible Ancient text.]
TEAL'C
It is quite a distance from the village.
MAYBOURNE
I enjoy long walks.
CARTER
Right! Long walks, rainy nights, and candlelit dinners. Why are we here, Maybourne?
[Daniel goes over to one of the columns and begins to inspect it while Carter confronts Maybourne.]
DANIEL
This writing is in Ancient.
(to Maybourne)
What do the locals know about these ruins?
MAYBOURNE
Well, not much. They generally avoid the area because it's close to the naquadah mines. The site of their former enslavement. Bad luck, and all.
DANIEL
(engrossed)
This is incredible.
MAYBOURNE
(dismissive)
No, no, this is, uh, interesting. This…
(he pats Daniel's arm to draw his attention, pointing to something in the distance)
…is incredible.
[Fascinated, Daniel follows Maybourne over to a nearby column, which he begins to read.]
TEAL'C
What is it?
MAYBOURNE
It's a record of the planet's history, covering major events. Only, some of them haven't happened yet.
CARTER
What are you talking about?
MAYBOURNE
They have a complicated lunar calendar. Took me a while to figure it out.
[Daniel begins to circle the column, reading a second panel as Maybourne tries to explain his discovery.]
MAYBOURNE
But once I did, I realised there were references in the text to things that are gonna happen in the future.
DANIEL
(via radio)
Sam?
CARTER
(into radio)
Go ahead.
EXT—ANCIENT TEMPLE RUINS, DAY
[Daniel is once again circling this mesmerising Ancient column.]
DANIEL
(into radio)
Maybourne was right.
CARTER
What do you mean?
DANIEL
Well, from what I've been able to decipher, it's pretty clear. The script on these walls is a historical log compiled by an Ancient who traveled through time to study the evolution of life on this world.
EXT—ALIEN VILLAGE, DAY
CARTER
(into radio)
Daniel, we know the Ancients experimented with time travel but we have no evidence that they actually mastered it.
DANIEL
Yeah, well, we do now.
EXT—ANCIENT TEMPLE RUINS, DAY
DANIEL
(into radio)
You see, to the best of my knowledge, these writings are only a couple of hundred years old.
EXT—ALIEN VILLAGE, DAY
DANIEL
(via radio)
Which means they were carved after the Goa'uld had already left.
CARTER
(into radio)
But the Ancients pre-date the Goa'uld.
EXT—ANCIENT TEMPLE RUINS, DAY
DANIEL
(into radio)
Right, so the only logical explanation is that an Ancient traveled to the future and then back to a time not too long ago.
EXT—ALIEN VILLAGE, DAY
CARTER
(sceptical)
I don't know, Daniel.
EXT—ANCIENT TEMPLE RUINS, DAY
DANIEL
(into radio)
There are references to the time travel device itself. Now, it's described as being inside a small ship. Now if I'm right, it may still be here. I think it's worth a look.
EXT—ALIEN VILLAGE, DAY
CARTER
(into radio)
Alright. We're on our way.

Oh, right. The Apache. Seems very unusual for me to have sleeping dreams about flying a helicopter. I had a vivid dream last time I was sleeping of me personally at the pilot controls of a United States military Apache gunship helicopter. I could feel the motion of the flight. I could hear the rotor blades chopping the air above me. I could hear myself speaking over the microphone in my helmet as I operated the aircraft controls and I was saying such notifications as "up 10 degrees". I could feel the front of the aircraft pitching upwards. Then I brought it down. I saw on the distant horizon the Moon rising and I asked for the reciprocal heading and I spun around the helicopter on that heading and flew for a while and then I turned around again and pointed it at the rising Moon. I could see the color of the trees below.
