Previously on "Stargate SG-1":

I am Omoc.

Our world is called Tollan.

I find it unbelievable anyone so primitive
could have deciphered the gate system.

Primitive?

You are, after all, the people
who saved us from the Goa'uld.

In that spirit,
we'd like to arrange for a trade.

- What would you like to trade?
- Technology.

You know that is the one thing
we cannot give you.

Cover!

Narim was right about you.
Perhaps in time we'll meet again.

We should not mourn
the passing of our friend Omoc,

as much as we should
celebrate his existence.

He helped us through one of the greatest
challenges in our people's recent history.

His efforts contributed to the rebirth
of our great nation as it stands today.

He will always be remembered.

Very nice.

Very... intimate.

Councillor Omoc was well aware
that he had very few true friends.

He was not concerned
with trivial relationships.

In his testament
he asked that his memorial

be attended only by those
whom he respected.

No offence, but what are we doing here?

He may not have shown you warmth, but
Omoc had a lot of reverence for all of you.

As do we all.

Colonel O'Neill, we have not dismissed
what you have done for the Tollan people.

Don't mention it.

We appreciate everything
you've done for us, too.

If you are referring to our policy
of not sharing our technology,

renewing such a discussion would be
better suited for another time and place.

Really?

The Tollan curia has recessed for a day
of mourning out of respect for Omoc.

Would you consider returning tomorrow
to meet with me?

- Sure.
- Thank you all for coming today.

I look forward to seeing you
again soon, Colonel.

Narim, will you show
our guests to the Stargate?

Any idea what she was talkin' about?

I was as surprised as you
by her invitation.

She seems to suggest the curia may
now be willing to share its technology.

I doubt that. She merely said
they wished to discuss it with you.

You think she'd invite us back
if things were status quo?

I am not on the curia. I really have no idea
what she wishes to see you about.

Have a safe trip home.

Samantha.

I hope I will have the chance
to see you upon your return.

Sir.

Narim just handed me this.

Samantha, sorry I was unable to tell you
this in person. I do not know who to trust.

Before his death, Omoc gave me
a warning and I believe it to be true.

Earth is in grave danger.

Narim gave no other indication
something might be wrong?

- No, sir. Everything was fine.
- For a funeral.

It did seem strange
there were so few people.

Hey, you knew him.

What's strange?

Whatever he meant, I bet Omoc's warning

has something to do with what
Travell wants to meet with us about.

Agreed. Let's see what they have to say.

Cosy.

Colonel O'Neill, Dr Jackson,
thank you so much for returning.

Thanks for havin' us.

Are Major Carter and Teal'c not with you?

They want to spend time
catching up with Narim.

Of course.
Shall we get down to business?

The curia met this morning, as I indicated,

and the topic was our policy
of sharing technology with Earth.

In an odd way, Colonel O'Neill,

the unfortunate death of Omoc
has proven to be advantageous for you.

Well, then I guess I'm both sad and happy.

You've often expressed a strong interest
in obtaining some of our technologies.

You could say.

In the past,
the prevailing beliefs of the curia

have made any such
arrangements impossible.

What's this have to do
with Omoc's death?

Some curia members have been changing
their view about our isolationist ways.

Recently, the balance of the votes
on these issues have been split.

Omoc strongly supported the old ways.

With his passing,
those in favour now control the vote.

We would like to propose an exchange.

Ah, the sound of the other shoe.

Please, Colonel, have you ever known
a political body to act solely

without concern for its own needs?

- What do you want?
- We chose this planet for our new home

because of its natural supply of trinium.

However, our nation has grown
much quicker than anyone anticipated.

Resources are becoming depleted.

Always reason to reassess
isolationist ways.

As I said, Dr Jackson, politics have
common threads wherever you go.

OK, so you need trinium.

Why not go get some?

- What did I say?
- I don't know.

I have temporarily deactivated
security in this room.

Normally everything is recorded. I wish to
talk confidentially without repercussions.

- Off the record?
- Yes.

The truth is, Colonel, those councillors
that oppose this arrangement

still have strong voices
among our people.

So the whole trinium thing
is just an excuse to save face publicly?

We do need it but, as you have suggested,
we can get it elsewhere if necessary.

- How much do you need?
- Would you repeat that?

How much do you need?

Our scientists will work out the specifics.

But, given that you now have
an offworld trinium mine,

I am sure it is within your capabilities.

OK. In exchange we get...?

A Tollan ion cannon.

One of those big, honkin' space guns

that shoots Goa'uld ships out of the sky?

Yes.

Cool.

Narim appears to have
strong personal feelings for you.

- I know. It's just that...
- Forgive me, Samantha. Teal'c.

My duties did not allow me
to get away before now.

- It's OK. You all right?
- Yes, fine.

You look concerned.

I apologise for having to send
that message the way I did.

There were so many extra security forces
yesterday, I didn't know who I could trust.

- Except you, of course.
- It's OK. Thank you.

Did Omoc not say any more
about the danger to the Tauri?

All I know is what I said in the message.

Omoc seemed to be
under great strain recently.

Which may explain
why he had the heart attack.

- Colonel O'Neill, Dr Jackson.
- What did Chancellor Travell say?

She offered us an ion cannon.

- I don't believe it.
- Neither did we.

- In exchange for trinium.
- The curia would never agree to that.

Apparently, Omoc was the swing vote.

But it goes against
everything we've stood for.

Do you think this is
what Omoc was so worried about?

Of course. It must have been.

Another world once destroyed themselves
because we shared technology with them.

That is why we have resisted sharing
what we know with primitive societies.

We'd prefer "less advanced",
if you don't mind.

My apologies. You know what I meant.

If used the wrong way, this ion cannon
could lead you to disaster.

The ion- beam technology
is very advanced.

So much so, that backward- engineering
one for mass production is beyond us.

- And that poses a bigger problem.
- How so?

Well, sir, even strategically placed
in, say, Washington DC,

one ion cannon provides very little range
of defence coverage for a planet our size.

Even if we could mobilise it, a fleet of
Goa'uld motherships could still strike.

And the Russians might take issue with
our having control of a single ion cannon.

Our current relationship with them
on these matters is tenuous at best.

So, at this point, one ion cannon
is likely to cause more harm than good.

How many do we need to set up a proper
protective net around the entire planet?

38. Minimum.

38?

To provide total global coverage, yes, sir.

And that's not including backups.

It couldn't hurt to ask, sir.

Sir, I feel obligated to mention the fact
that Narim is opposed to this exchange,

and thinks that Omoc's warning
was directly related.

Do you believe the Tollan Council
has ulterior motives

that do not represent our best interest?

Something's going on.
I just don't know what.

I'm ordering you
to proceed with the negotiation.

OK.

Colonel, under the circumstances...

If you're going to recommend, sir, I
continue to be suspicious and sceptical...

- I wouldn't waste my time.
- Good thinking.

Remember, this could change
the course of our history.

So don't blow it?

What you're sensing as trouble could be
simple internal political wrangling.

I understand that.

Or we could be walking into a minefield.

Thank you, sir.

These little chats of ours
always bring me great joy

and serve to ease my mind.

Greetings. Chancellor Travell has asked
that I escort them the rest of the way.

- Is that true?
- No. I heard you were back on Tollana

to meet with Chancellor Travell.

Yeah. We're gonna ask for
a whole whack of space guns.

This is worse than I thought.

We understand why you're concerned,
but those cannons could save Earth.

You have to trust
we won't kill each other with them.

And if we do,
we won't blame you. Promise.

You don't understand.

Every Tollan has a small implant
that monitors their health.

- This is my current health data.
- I'm assuming you're OK?

Yes. Pertect health.

However, I am overseer of Omoc's
property, including his health records.

After our last conversation
I did some checking.

- As you know, Omoc had a heart attack.
- Narim, where are you going with this?

Despite the fact...

Despite the fact Omoc looked as if he was
under stress, he too was in pertect health.

People sometimes die
of heart attacks without warning.

Our implants link to a central system. If
anything is wrong officers are dispatched.

Normally, maximum response time
is under five minutes.

The night of Omoc's death
it took them over ten minutes.

- What are you saying?
- That just doesn't happen.

No.

What are you saying?

Well, I believe...

I believe Omoc may have been murdered.

Mind if I ask
what you need the trinium for?

Trinium is combined with a number
of elements to create a compound

that is used
in various Tollan technologies.

Do you people practise being vague?

I will have this sample analysed for purity.

Then I will be able to give you
the amounts we require for our exchange.

Yeah, about that...

- Have you reconsidered?
- No. No, no, no. Um...

We just don't feel
one cannon is gonna work.

One doesn't go so far
in protecting an entire planet.

Yes, that was discussed by the curia.

Well, we've come up with a solution
you may not have considered.

- Yes?
- Give us more than one.

How many would you require?

- Mm, thirty...
- Eight.

Thirty- eight. Total.

I see.

Well, I understand your dilemma.

Please, give me some time
to present your request to the curia.

- That went well.
- Mm- hm.

Greetings, Narim. Welcome home.
Atmosphere control is active.

Shall I prepare a meal
foryou and yourguests?

No, thank you.

- Narim?
- Yes, Samantha.

Is that my voice?

I'm sorry.
I was hoping you wouldn't notice.

Colonel O'Neill asked us
to find proof of Omoc's murder.

Should we not begin?

I don't know where to start.

There hasn't been a murder here
for as long as I can remember.

- Is crime so uncommon here?
- There are crimes of indiscretion,

but nothing even approaching
the severity of murder.

Our security systems prevent it, which is
why I was so reluctant to even suggest it.

This doesn't make any sense.

The curia disagreed with Omoc
over whether to give us your weapons,

but do you really think
they would kill him over it?

I don't know what
to believe any more, Samantha.

The records of all curia meetings are
public. We can read through them here.

There appears to be much information.

Yes, but as Samantha suggested,
maybe there is something in all this

to indicate the seriousness of the conflict
between Omoc and the other members.

Can you translate it for us?

You think Narim's right about Omoc?

I think this thing smells
worse and worse by the minute.

But you're still willing to proceed?

It's the only way we're gonna find out
what's really going on.

The question is, how far do we go?

Well, all we know is these people might
be willing to part with powertul weapons.

- I have no problem with that.
- No. No surprise there.

At worst, some people disagree on some
philosophical level I don't understand.

At worst, they killed someone
to make sure this would happen.

Now, see, that makes no sense to me.

Exactly. So push on blindly, then?

Blindly, yes.

But we still have our slightly
heightened sense of smell.

Chancellor Travell is ready for you now.

Shall we take a break?

Isn't there a way to narrow this down,
search the records for specific topics?

Please indicate the topic ofinterest.

- OK, how do we shut that off?
- Voice system off.

- What do you want to search for?
- Let's start with ion cannons.

OK. Search topic: ion cannons.
Time frame: six months.

Hello?

Hello?

- You sure this is the right spot?
- The directions he gave led us here.

How do you know this is Narim"s house?
They all look the same here.

Cos that's Narim.

- You're good.
- Come in.

- Whatcha readin' there, fella?
- Tollan curia records.

Don't wreck it for me.

- So what did Travell say?
- We got the guns.

It cannot be true.

- All of them?
- Over time, as we deliver the trinium.

- Wow.
- What do you guys got?

Uh, well, so far not much.

Narim. Colonel O'Neill.

It says that two months ago there was an
unscheduled test of Tollan ion cannons.

Omoc filed an official protest.

Yes, I remember it well.

We were supposed to have a meal. Omoc
was late and very angry when he arrived.

He was ranting about the unfairness
of random testing on the Tollan people.

Why is this important?

We want signs of Omoc's
difference of opinion with the curia.

- This can't be.
- What?

According to this record, the curia
meeting adjourned in the late afternoon.

- When Omoc came here it was evening.
- So?

It means there are two hours of notations
missing from the records.

- A slight omission?
- That's not possible.

If the curia can commit murder, they can
erase two hours from the public records.

You don't understand our laws.

For the highest members of
our government to deceive the people,

as strange as it may sound, it's an
even more heinous crime than murder.

It's... It's unthinkable.

At the time I thought it was strange Omoc
would be upset over an ion cannon test.

Slightly more to it than that, eh?

If the curia wanted to cover up this matter,
why leave Omoc's protest on record?

Because a protest of Tollan policy
is filed with every level of the government.

It would be impossible to erase it without
a conspiracy of massive proportions,

reaching far outside the curia.

So whatever happened in the time
missing, it could be why Omoc was killed.

As far as what you told me, there seems
to be an evil conspiracy among the curia

whose goal is to give us
everything we've wanted.

- That makes no sense.
- I said that.

Unless the Tollan cannot procure trinium
on their own as easily as they claim.

Travell tried hard to convince us it was
a face- saving exercise to calm naysayers.

Do we know what the Tollans
will do with the trinium?

Lots and lots of very interesting
and unspecific things.

We could tag the first shipment
to see where it goes.

- How?
- We introduce a radioactive isotope.

If the Tollans catch it, we say it's
a by- product of the purification process

and we've been unable
to eliminate it entirely.

Do it.

- Travell doesn't suspect you?
- If she does, she's not letting on.

We're a primitive race.
Why would she suspect us?

The trinium's still moving.
It's south- southwest of here.

Do you realise what you have done
by involving me?

Hey, you involved yourself in this
when you sent us that warning.

Warning you your world is in danger
is not the same as treason!

If your leaders are involved in something
untoward, what you're doing isn't treason.

- What I am doing is nothing!
- Then help us.

How?

Tell us how to get into Travell's office
and access her computer.

- What?
- If there is a conspiracy, she's in on it.

It was, in fact, Travell
that offered us the ion cannons.

- It's impossible. There is no way.
- Narim, get your head outta your ass!

- You started this.
- Your government is deceiving you.

You said yourself that's the most
heinous crime you can think of.

- I should have told the security office.
- But the curia have more power.

As a citizen, is it not your duty
to investigate such a crime?

- The security systems...
- Travell can turn them off.

- Why would she do that?
- So she could talk to us off the record.

That is a violation
of the governmental conduct code.

Gee, what a shock.

There is one chance.

Only high- ranking members of the curia
have access to the security system

in the building where
Travell's office is located.

- Omoc was among them.
- And you have his personal effects.

His code would be in the data device,
if it is not deactivated.

OK. Daniel, Carter, go with Narim.
Check out Travell's office.

Teal'c and I will track the trinium.

Um, that's the thing
that lets you go through walls, right?

- Yes.
- Got a couple extra layin' around?

- That would be a violation...
- Good. And weapons?

Colonel O'Neill...

- Just in case.
- Our security sensors...

The weapons carried by
yoursecurity forces remain unaffected.

If this doesn't work,
Security will be here in seconds.

Way to go, Omoc.

Here. This is a communication sent
to our chief of science and technology

just after the meeting.

That was no random ion cannon test.

It says a Goa'uld ship entered orbit
and the ion cannons fired in defence.

Ineffectively.

I don't see how that could be. Our ion
cannons have always been successful.

- Maybe this Goa'uld can defend itself.
- That would be catastrophic.

- We have no other weapons capable of...
- Wait a second.

This makes no sense. It says despite
resisting attack, the ship left peacefully.

Yeah, right

Why would a Goa'uld mothership,
impervious to your ion cannons, leave?

There must be more.

No other records mention a Goa'uld ship.

Must've been discussed off the record.

The ion cannons are useless if they won't
defend against Goa'uld motherships.

That's why Travell would give us
as many as we wanted.

Let's see if we can find out
what the trinium's being used for.

Looks like our trinium's in here.

Narim said in order for the device to work
on both of us we must hold hands, O'Neill.

I know.

This is unlike any Tollan device
I have previously seen.

Well, whatever it is,

they seem to think
they're gonna need a lot of'em.

Whoa.

It's a weapon of mass destruction.

OK, where does the trinium come in?

Trinium is required to house any device
that generates our phase- shift technology.

Are you saying this bomb is being made
so it can go through anything?

Theoretically, yes.

That must be it. This weapon is to replace
the ion cannon in defence of our planet.

Narim, that doesn't add up.

A Goa'uld wouldn't drop by just so
you could see his new shield technology,

then go away to give your people time
to build a weapon to penetrate it.

What else could have happened?

Please, lower your weapons.
The building is full of security.

What do you think you're doing, Narim?

What do you think you are doing,
Chancellor?

She is doing what she must
to preserve your world.

Hello, fellas.

This is not a good sign.

- You are in league with a Goa'uld.
- His name is Tanith.

Yeah, aren't you supposed to be dead?

- If you must know...
- I must.

I had left Apophis' ship in an escape pod
long before the sun exploded.

Thank you, by the way.

In destroying his fleet,
you did me a great favour.

- It was nothing.
- How lovely it is to see you both here.

I assume Teal'c
must be around somewhere.

The others are being apprehended
as we speak.

I am so looking forward to seeing him
and Colonel O'Neill again.

How can you do this?

I have done nothing alone, Narim.

The curia is acting
in the interest of Tollana.

You murdered Omoc.

Had we not done what we did,
there would be no Tollana.

And there won't be, if you do not
fulfil your promise, Chancellor.

Rest assured, we will deliver as promised.

You and the curia cannot make such
deals on behalf of the Tollan people.

We would rather fight and die
than trade our technology to the Goa'uld.

I wonder if you'd be so quick to make
that decision were you in my position.

After him!

He will not get away.

- How did you find me?
- You're the one wearing grey.

Jackson and Major Carter?

We were caught by Travell and
the Goa'uld the curia are bargaining with.

I managed to escape with this.

But the entire security force of Tollana
must be looking for me.

- And you, for that matter.
- Back up to that Goa'uld bargain part.

The Tollan curia have made a deal
with a Goa'uld.

His name is Tanith.

Easy, big fella.

What kind of deal?

This Goa'uld's mothership has a new
shield impervious to our ion cannons.

For the first time,
Tollana is vulnerable to attack.

- There hasn't been an attack.
- No.

To prevent one the curia has agreed
to build weapons for the Goa'uld.

We have seen these weapons.
There are a great many.

What exactly can they do?

They are explosives of great power that
utilise the Tollan phase- shift technology.

They will be able to penetrate
any solid matter prior to detonation.

Like an iris?

As you have seen, I have used our
technology to walk through the barrier

that protects your planet's Stargate.

We've been unable to locate them
thus far. Our efforts continue.

Use Narim's health implant to locate him.

- That would be in violation of the code...
- Do it!

Tell your master
we will make the delivery on schedule.

Excuse me? Your master?

You don't think he could
do all this by himself, do you?

Apophis dead,
fresh out of an escape pod...

He'd have to ally himself
with someone more powertul.

- So who you taking orders from now?
- The one he serves has no name.

Oh, he has a name.

The likes of you
are simply forbidden to know it.

Do with them as you wish.

However, if your pathetic security forces
finally manage to capture Teal'c,

have him transported up to me.

- Tanith must not possess these weapons.
- I know.

- What can we do?
- Destroy them.

- How?
- You tell me.

Travell was right. It's not so easy when
the fate of your planet is in your hands.

Narim...

The Goa'uld will attack if we don't deliver.

You are asking me
to destroy my own world.

I'm asking you not to sacrifice Earth
and God knows how many other planets

to save your own ass!

I'm asking you to do the right thing,
and you know it.

Your time is up, Chancellor.

- We are ready to make the first delivery.
- Very well.

However, before accepting, we will first
require a demonstration ofthe technology

to ensure that it works as expected.

I assure you it has been tested
and each weapon is fully...

You will activate one ofthe weapons and
send it through your Stargate to the Tauri.

You have 30 minutes.

You got any idea what you're doing?

None.

Good enough.

You knew why you were building
the devices and what they'd be used for.

You just didn't expect them
to make you pull the trigger.

The Goa'uld have no choice.
Earth is protected.

They can't do it without
dealing with the Asgard.

I had no choice either.

Yes, you did.

Hi, kids.

They were attempting to sabotage one
of the weapons. They had this on them.

Narim's health implant.
What have you done to him?

Nothing. However, while
these guys were chasing us...

Narim was able to move freely.

Leave them! Come!

Where you guys goin'?

Hey!

Ow! Damn!

The Goa'uld will soon realise that we will
no longer honour our end of the bargain.

Um, hey.

We should go.

- You must hurry to the Stargate.
- Aren't you coming with us?

I have forced my people
to fight a battle we may lose.

The least I can do is
stay and fight with them.

Thank you.

Good luck.

I hope this isn't goodbye.

Go.

So, we can reasonably assume the
Goa'uld did not get any of the weapons?

We can only hope.

- What about these new shields?
- The Goa'uld do not share technology.

Well, whoever Tanith is now working for,
these new shields give him an advantage.

Teal'c, any guesses who it might be?

None, General Hammond.

I suppose that, whoever it is, they're
still afraid of confronting the Asgard,

- or they'd've attacked Earth themselves.
- For now.

Incoming communication.

We're getting a direct transmission from a
Tollan long- range communication device.

.. managed to get some people out.
Stargate was destroyed.

- Narim.
- All defences failing.

Ourships attempting to escape are being
shot down. I wanted you to know that...

I'm sorry, sir. That's it.

The transmission just died.
