Act 1
Egypt, Giza Plateau, 1928. A car goes full speed towards the Great Pyramids, with Professor Langford and his daughter Catherine on board. Inside a tent, an Arabic interpreter hears the horn blaring ang gets out of the tent to welcome the Professor. When they go together in the Giza archeological diggings, the interpreter declares they found something beautiful, a very big surprise. Langford meets Foreman Taylor who shows him a big circular coverstone.

Meanwhile, Catherine is visiting the tents with all the discoveries they made in the diggings. She discovers a necklace with the symbol of Ra. Then, Langford calls her daughter back. She picks up the necklace and comes back to her father. They go to a place where many workers are erecting a big and heavy circular artefact with ropes. Professor Langford wonders what kind of object it is. Taylor says he wished he knows.

Act 2
Present day, Park Plaza Hotel, Los Angeles, an old woman is climbing the stairs. She's wearing the necklace found in Giza (she is Catherine Langford). She goes to a room where a young archeologist, Doctor Daniel Jackson, is leading a symposium on Ancien Egypt. Jackson states then that the pharaohs of the Fourth Dynasty didn't build the Great Pyramids. A Professor mentions the discovery of Khufu's inscription by Colonel Vyse. Jackson declares it's actually a fraud. An other Professor asks to Jackson who build the pyramids. When Jackson replies he has no idea, the audience laughs at him and leave the room. Just only one person remains.

Soon after, Jackson is outside the hotel, under a heavy rain. A US Air Force officer approaches Jackson and invites him to get in a car as someone wants to speak to him. Inside the car, Catherine Langford, with Jackson files, is waiting for him. When Jackson gets in the car, Catherine Langford proposes a translation job to Jackson insisting that this is his chance to prove that his theories are right. She gives him travel plans. At the same moment Kawalsky opens the car's door and invites Jackson to get out. Oustide, just as the Air Force car's leaving, Jackson is checking his travel plans.

Meanwhile, in a suburban street, an other US Air Force sedan parks near a house. Sarah O'Neil opens the entrance door and comes back to the kitchen doing the dishes. Two officers come in and ask to Sarah O'Neil if it's possible to speak to her husband. She lights a cigarette and says to them: "You can try." Upstairs, they open the door of Tyler's bedroom where they find Colonel Jack O'Neil. He holds a hand gun he hides quickly under the pillow when the door opens. Major Johnson announces to O'Neill from General West that he has been reactivated. O'Neil doesn't say a word. When they come back to the car, the other officer is surprised to see O'Neill like this. Johnson replies that his kid shot himself accidentally and died.
