Original subtitles

Previously on stargate SG-1...

He was unlike any warrior we have previously encountered.

We could be dealing with an entirely new kind of technology.

Who was the first Goa'uld to find the device?

- His name was Telchak. - Telchak.

If the device was kept hidden near a water source,

it could be the basis of the Fountain of Youth mythology.

It might be possible to engineer a weapon

we can use against these warriors.

C4!

What is your planet of origin?

He just gave us his home world.

The State Department has received a ransom demand

for Dr. Jackson and Dr. Lee.

We've been given 72 hours to pay, or they will be killed.

Do they know who's behind it?

The kidnappers haven't identified themselves.

But intel indicates we're dealing

with Honduran antigovernment revolutionaries.

They're following the book on this one.

Officially, they have no intention of paying any ransom.

Unofficially?

Our ties with the Honduran government are at stake.

No one is willing to risk breaking policy over this.

So we send ateam in to extract 'em.

We've done it before.

Obviously the rebels are betting that our tenuous relationship

with the Nicaraguan government will prevent us from taking action,

but they're wrong.

I've called the president and he's agreed to help.

As we speak, he's requesting that the CIA gather whatever intel they can.

But whether he's willing to risk an international incident...

Thank you, sir.

I'll let you know the second I hear anything.

You have not had water or food for two days.

Pick of the season.

This is very good.

Today we're going to start slow.

I'm going to ask you again.

What is this?

And this is the part where you do not talk?

Okay.

For you and your friend... if you tell me what this is.

I don't know how long someone can go without food...

but I believe the human body

needs water every three or four days.

It's an ancient artifact.

- An artifact? - Yeah.

I'm an archaeologist. That's what I do. I look for artifacts.

Well, I found one.

Seriously, I'm an archaeologist.

You guys can look me up on the Internet if you want.

Do you have a computer?

It all makes perfect sense.

You're nothing more than an archaeologist,

and you find and study artifacts.

It makes perfect sense.

I'm going to ask you one last time.

What is this?

And again you're not so talkative.

What gives you the right to come into our country

and steal valuable artifacts?

You call yourself a scientist? You're nothing but a thief.

And you think you're better than me.

- But I have reasons for what I do. - I don't doubt that.

Chalo.

And here's something else you should not doubt, compadre.

You will tell me what I want to know.

A CIA operative in Honduras, an Agent Burke,

believes he knows

where Dr. Jackson and Dr. Lee were taken.

- Burke? - Do you know him?

Yes, I do.

Anything I should know about? He's the only agent on this.

- We're stuck with him regardless, right? - Right.

Nothing you should know about.

I see.

He's requested that you participate in the extraction.

The president has green-lit the op.

There's a C-130 waiting for you at Peterson.

It leaves for Honduras in two hours.

Yes, sir.

- Sir? - I'm going after Daniel.

Good.

- This other mission... - Shouldn't be a problem, sir.

- When do you leave? - Now.

Good luck.

You, too.

No! I don't know anything!

We've confirmed that Anubis has a base on Tartarus.

A powerful sensor array prevents anyone

from approaching the planet unnoticed.

The stargate on Tartarus is inside the structure

and has a powerful force field protecting it.

We need to know how Anubis created this new soldier,

confirm what we believe his intentions are

and, if possible, stop him. Any ideas?

Even if we could defeat the force field,

we have to assume that the stargate would be heavily guarded.

We must gain access to the planet

by somehow temporarily shutting down the sensor array.

I agree. The question is, how?

I will walk through the stargate.

- Selmak? - Yes.

Come again?

I wear the armor of Anubis' assassin.

According to your account on Ramius' planet,

it passed through the force field trap.

But at what physical cost?

We have no way of knowing.

The force field around that stargate

has got to be more powerful than the one we used.

I'm sorry, kid. I'm with Selmak on this one.

He'll keep me alive.

Does anyone else have a better idea?

Once I've deactivated the sensor array,

a scout ship can then approach the planet.

Radioactive isotopes taken beforehand

will permit us to move around freely

without being detected by internal sensors inside the base.

- What's your exit plan? - The scout ship.

During the mission, I will conceal it

in one of the planet's many low-lying chasms,

powering down to further avoid detection.

Major, you have a go.

You don't look very happy to see me.

I'd have given anything to see your face

when you heard my name.

Hey, it's okay, man. It's okay.

It's not okay.

I've got 48 hours to find my friend before he's killed.

- Just tell me what you know. - Okay, all business all the time.

I can dig that station.

This is the last place Daniel Jackson was seen

before he hired a guy named Rogelio Duran to take him into the jungle.

And a short time after that he was snatched

by anti-Honduran extremists.

And you know this how?

It's how this particular splinter group does business.

Last year they kidnapped an important engineer

working on the Cajon River Dam.

Big American contract, insurance pays off,

and they finance their little war against the government with the ransom.

- This engineer. Did he live? - Yeah, he did.

Sometimes they don't.

- What about weapons? - Okay, this is colorful.

Honduras and Nicaragua are in the middle of a territorial dispute.

I know what you're thinking. When are they not?

So, because of this, anyone in the "I hate Honduras" fan club

can seek shelter behind the Nicaraguan borders and buy guns.

What kinda guns? AKs, AKs for days.

Nicaragua gets their stuff directly from Russia now,

but in the '80s they inherited all the old stuff from Cuba.

How do you like that?

They let us fight Cuba from their shores, we got our asses kicked,

and Cuba gives them the guns.

You know, we could get shot at

by an AK-47 that was fired at the Bay of Pigs attack.

- You've been down here too long, Burke. - Hey, you think so?

You know why I got this crappy posting

- in this stink hole part of the world? - No.

Oh, here comes the blame. Are you gonna try and blame me now?

Yeah, I do.

You could've stood up for me. Hillary left me.

What do you think happens in a friendly fire incident

when one team member gets killed and the other doesn't vouch for him?

I didn't see what happened to Woods.

I told 'em what I knew.

I wasn't gonna lie. I told 'em what I knew.

I'm not talkin' about lying. I'm talkin' about my head.

You, me, Woods, we were buddies, man.

You knew me.

- I told 'em what I knew. - Well, you didn't tell 'em enough.

And now you're here, stuck in my part of the world. You need me.

- And I'm calling it on this one. - I don't think so.

I know how to get over the borders, I know where these rebels operate.

- Oh, yeah, I'm in charge. - No.

- You're just the guide. - Just the guide?

- That's what you think of me now? - That's right.

You're not so gone you don't understand

the need for a clear chain of command, are you?

You wanna know how "gone" I am?

I am a guide.

This? It's just my day job.

I never thought I would die like this.

Ah, you're not dead yet.

I'm sorry, Daniel.

I couldn't take it.

I told them.

What?

What did you tell them?

Everything.

- How's that, sir? - Pretty good.

Reminds me of my old football days.

Did they have helmets back in those days, sir?

Funny.

- Jacob, you okay in there? - It's surprisingly light.

- I guess it's time. - Good luck.

Thank you, George.

You.

Come with me.

Sit.

You seem damaged.

- Come on, Dad. - The array is yet to be shut down.

We are helpless to act.

Even if we were to attempt secure communication...

We'd have to leave our position

from the dark side of this moon,

making us visible to their sensors.

- Thoth. - Lord Anubis, I was not expecting you.

Tell me how this one has fared.

This one has just returned, my Lord.

I need time to finish my preliminary analysis

before I can make a proper report.

It can wait.

There is a remote probe malfunctioning.

It requires your attention.

Yes, my Lord.

So many things could've gone wrong. He's so stubborn.

Agent Carter, perhaps it is time to consider...

The sensor array is powered down.

No doubt your father's stubbornness.

- Dad, we're on the way. - Good.

When you touch down, proceed to the exhaust port assemblage.

- I think I've found a way to get you in. - Copy.

Now, hold up.

- This is it. - As I told you, there's nothing here.

There is this well in the middle of nowhere,

standard U.S. military boot-tread all around.

Make a wish.

What took you so long?

How hard could it be to track their GPS locators?

I'm just kidding. I only been here a couple of minutes myself.

- Change your mind? - In a manner of speaking.

This is the end of the road, man.

I mean, you didn't think these guys were gonna make it easy on you, did ya?

- I'll take you where you need to go. - For old times' sake?

You know, I took an emotional inventory,

and I realized that I have some issues.

Thought maybe we can put our petty differences aside on this one.

You're gonna need me when this thing goes down, buddy.

Come on, give me a chance. I won't let you down.

Now we're talkin', sports fans!

Okay, my name is Burke and I'll be your guide.

Today we'll be looking at indigenous vegetation of Central America.

Watch your step, ladies. We're not in Minnesota.

Easy.

If you value the life of your friend,

you will tell me what I want to know.

Your friend told me this device

may be the origin of the Fountain of Youth myth.

- Yeah, maybe. - How does it work?

I don't know.

Look, you grabbed us five minutes after we found it.

Who is this Telchak?

He's a mythological figure,

a Mayan god that may or may not have lived here thousands of years ago.

So this device is many thousands of years old?

Possibly.

And this Mayan god brought this device to his temple?

For what purpose?

- To hide it? To use it? I don't know. - Use it?

- On whom? - People! Mayan people!

What would it do to them?

Look, the research I used to find it

just gave a cryptic warning the device was dangerous, even harmful.

That's all I know!

I do not think it is so harmful.

I have never in my life felt as strong as I do right now.

- You turned it on? - Yes.

Turn it off. You don't know what you're dealing with.

The effects of the device may be unstable.

It's very dangerous.

Look, it's beyond our comprehension. Turn it off!

- You're lying. - What if he isn't?

The device is cursed.

Rafael, we should turn it off.

Turn it off?

Do you not feel different as well?

I do, and it scares me.

If you will not turn it off, I will.

What happened?

I fooled the exhaust port into thinking it needs the purging system.

- I mean with the sensor array. - I got held up.

You weren't worried about me, were you?

Help me get this off.

Rebels move around a lot.

The grunts are self-taught bush fighters.

It's harvest season. Most of them tend to their farms right now.

Those who don't are ex-military,

most likely holding up about 20 klicks northwest of Ocotal.

Well, this wasn't supposed to be on the tour.

At least we know we're on the right track.

I've been shot.

No.

You have been shot.

Air Rescue should be here in about an hour.

I've been lying here for days.

- What's another hour? - Who did this?

All right.

We're looking for two scientists.

- Dr. Jackson? - Yeah.

They have him. They went north, across the border.

- Go. - We're not just gonna leave you.

Sure you can, senor.

Help will be here soon. Don't worry.

This is not the first time I've been shot.

Save your friends.

Please.

They owe me lots of money.

I love American gum.

Good guys.

Speak.

Lord Anubis, one of the Kull Warriors is missing.

What is the reason for this behavior?

There was damage...

but I believe our method of governing the symbiote mind is still flawed.

Unacceptable.

Determine the origin of the flaw... and report back to me.

Yes, my Lord.

He moved, I killed him. It was as simple as that.

I thought he was a hostile.

It's all history, Burke.

Now's not really the time.

I know we were out of position.

And I wanted to cut the angle down to cover you

as you approached the objective.

I guess Woods was doin' the same.

So you both took it upon yourselves to improvise at the same time?

That's right.

That's the third one I've seen.

How many do you think Anubis has?

There's no way of telling yet.

I'm just guessing, but at least a handful.

The lab I was in was made to service several.

- Symbiote holding tanks. - All empty.

This one is not.

Shouldn't we at least wait till night-time?

I don't think we have that long.

We won't get 100 yards before they kill us.

Yeah, if we stay, they'll definitely kill us.

I saw the short-term effects of that device.

I know what a sarcophagus does to a person's sanity.

And this is far more powerful.

I don't think we want to stick around

to find out what long-term exposure does.

Judging by the number of holding tanks in this room,

Anubis must be planning to have the queen spawn thousands of Goa'uld.

But why?

A symbiote is spawned with the genetic memory of the maternal bloodline.

They're egomaniacal and power-hungry.

It's not exactly a good combination for a foot soldier.

- That's right. - But look at this.

This queen, whoever she is, must be in league with Anubis.

She's preparing for a spawn cycle,

yet her brainwave pattern is minimal.

She has no intention of passing on her genetic memory.

- The symbiotes will be blank slates. - Much like Egeria on Pangar.

And Anubis will be free to imprint them however he sees fit.

No free will, they're drones.

They make the perfect soldier.

Deadly, fearless, unquestioning loyalty.

But this is too similar to what happened on Pangar to be a coincidence.

How did Anubis find out about Egeria?

Jonas Quinn.

Anubis must have acquired this information when he scanned Jonas Quinn's mind.

If Anubis had any designs on creating a drone soldier,

that information would've been the final piece of the puzzle.

This queen must not be permitted to spawn again.

- Teal'c's right. - Okay.

We take what time we have remaining

and try to find out what else Anubis is up to.

Then we detonate the C4 and get outta here.

Could be just a couple of klicks now.

How can you trust me?

I don't.

Think I asked you to come down here so I could shoot you, too?

Why would I think that?

Forget I said anything.

You've had plenty of opportunity before now.

What's worse is that you think I'm just incompetent.

For crying out loud, Burke.

So you're perfectly willing to go into a hot situation

with me watching your back?

I have no choice,

and I was thinking of sending you in first,

- me watching your back. - You wanna know the truth?

I mean, come on, you really don't wanna know?

Man, it wasn't my fault.

I mean, I didn't choose, I just reacted.

It stinks, the whole damn thing stinks.

You wanna know what really happened? Fine, I'll tell ya.

Woods was ghosting us.

He sold out, he was no good.

He was sending out a rogue transmission,

he was giving our position away.

Woods realized that I was onto him, and he turned his weapon on me,

and I just reacted.

Why didn't you come forward with this?

Come on, man, you remember how close we were.

The wives and the beers and the barbecues.

I couldn't do that to Cindy.

It comes out Woods was a traitor,

she doesn't see a penny of that pension.

A month away from his retirement?

Woods wasn't gonna retire.

He was setting himself up as a mercenary for that warlord.

He made his choice, he's gone. That's all that matters.

That's not good.

No!

You let them escape.

There must be a console somewhere

that will let us access a log of recent activity.

Even if it doesn't contain Anubis' long range plans,

we might be able to gather intel on the movement of his fleet.

Nothing but labs, corridors, and storage in this direction.

I think Anubis' quarters are this way.

Bill, you gotta keep moving.

- I can't. I can't breathe. - Yes, you can. Come on!

- Okay... - Daniel...

Stay down. I'll draw them off.

You are all my children... Kull Warriors.

You are the instruments of my conquest.

Hail Anubis!

Machete.

I'm going to skin you alive.

How many more are there?

- Daniel! - That's it. You got 'em all.

What are you doing here?

There must be thousands of them.

Fools!

C4.

Bra'tac, we need that ride, now!

I will be there momentarily.

- Will you be able to walk on this? - Yeah.

Telchak's device reanimates dead tissue. Yeah, whatever. Come on.

Hey, get down!

What's with the guy fromEvil Dead?

Classified?

Yeah.

You guys are into some crazy crap, man!

Got it!

Go!

What was that?

It can't be good. Just punchiit.

Someone has opened the rear engine access hatch.

We're mid-flight.

Teal'c, are you hurt?

Indeed.

Where?

My pride.

An old man did what I could not.

Sam?

Sam.

No, don't move. Just lie still.

What hurts?

Everything.

That's a good sign.

Perimeter's clear.

Just heard from Air Rescue. They got the guide.

- Rogelio? - Yeah, he's gonna be okay.

They'll be here soon.

Hey.

- Nice backup. - Sure thing, buddy. Anytime, anywhere.

You know, I think I should recommend that you be posted to a nicer place.

A temperate zone? Not too hot, not too cold?

Fine-lookin' women that put out like broken candy machines?

Whatever. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks, buddy.

Is that the thing that made the guy do that thing?

Yeah, it's okay. It's off now.

Good. That's good.

Yeah. At least, we think it's off.

It's not glowing anymore, so...

Glowing thing really gives it away,

so if it's not glowing anymore, it shouldn't be on anymore.

- Do you wanna hold it? - No.

That's crazy!

So... Miss me?

Of course, sir.

Well, it couldn't have been that bad. You're all still alive.

As are you and Daniel Jackson.

- Daniel? - I'm fine.

- We got the device from Telchak. - Good.

Hopefully we can engineer a weapon from it.

You must, or we will be left helpless to combat these new warriors.

We have some bad news, sir.

Anubis has an entire army of these super-soldiers.

There are thousands of them.

The best we were able to do was delay his ability to manufacture more.

We'll debrief fully in one hour. Welcome home.

Hey.

So, nice command.

We did manage to make it out alive, sir.

There's that.

Lunch?
