Original subtitles

Previously on Stargate SG-1...

This is the base of the tauri.

Why are there Jaffa?

Rebel warriors.

Jaffa will have turned against the Goa'uld.

Is that going to be a problem?

Not for us.

Does somebody

want to tell me what's going on here?

It's history.

For 2,000 years,

every time a tok'ra died at the end of a staff weapon,

a Jaffa was holding it.

This was obviously intended

to be a new form of foot soldier.

I serve Anubis.

Basically, he's got all the strength

and healing powers of a normal Goa'uld,

but none of the normal personality traits.

This being was not alive when it was first grown.

Frankenstein's monster.

Thousands of years ago,

a Goa'uld found a device

originally created by the ancients.

With the device,

we may be able to devise a weapon

to counteract its life-giving energy.

Where's the matrix crystal?

Next to the primaries.

I can't find anything in here.

I had a system back at the old Alpha site.

The location of the old Alpha site

was compromised when Anubis used his mind probe on Jonas.

You didn't really want to hang around there, did you?

I just want to be able to work as efficiently as possible.

Anubis' drones are kicking the crap out of the system lords,

and we're next.

This prototype should've been done

weeks ago.

It's done...

It's just not finished.

Interesting distinction.

We only got telchak's device a month ago.

I'm surprised we were able to come up with something so quickly.

In its current configuration,

the weapon is only 70% effective

in counteracting the reanimation technology.

That's because the power unit you're using

hasn't been properly calibrated.

This one will be better.

Maybe.

Have you not had your coffee this morning?

Selmak doesn't like coffee.

You gave up coffee for your symbiote?

I didn't know that.

We never talk anymore, Sam.

Lieutenant Glenn, what's happening?

We're under attack. We just picked up Goa'uld ships

entering the atmosphere.

Colonel Riley has ordered immediate evac to beta.

We're bugging out right now.

What happened?

Approximately

the approach of Goa'uld ships

prompted an evacuation of the Alpha site.

Sam was doing research there.

She and Jacob were working on a weapon

designed to neutralize Anubis's new soldiers.

At the moment, we have no idea

what happened to either of them.

How many people got out?

Casualty reports are still coming in

from the beta site,

but at least 90 people are still missing,

including the base commander,

colonel Riley.

I thought the location of the Alpha site

was a secret.

We brought the gate there in a tok'ra ship. It's a completely new address.

Yet evidently, somehow the Goa'uld

have discovered its whereabouts.

Chevron seven locked.

Wormhole is stable, sir.

No radio chatter.

Send the malp.

Yes, sir.

MALP is en route.

Receiving MALP telemetry.

Sir, my instruments are telling me

that the MALP is on its side.

Do you still have camera control?

Yes, sir.

If the Stargate was knocked over and it's lying face-down,

the forming of the event horizon would've excavated a cavity underneath it.

When the MALP came through, it fell into the hole.

There's no way to know if the dhd survived the attack.

If we were to bring an alternate power source...

We can dial out manually.

Possibly under enemy fire.

We'll be fine, sir.

The gate dug the perfect foxhole.

You have a go. Good luck, colonel.

Thank you, sir.

Wow...

This destruction does not appear

to be the result of an aerial assault.

Single-radius blast.

Quite possibly the self-destruct...

To prevent the Alpha site from falling into enemy hands.

So we'll split up, search for survivors.

Who could've survived this?

Start with the treeline there.

Copy.

Move out.

O'Neill.

What've you got?

This is the armor of one of Anubis's drones.

Reynolds?

Go ahead.

Be advised...

We may not be alone here.

At least one of Anubis's goons might've been on the planet

when it blew.

Use extreme caution.

Understood.

Colonel.

Major green.

Are you all right?

I'm fine, sir.

We've got some serious injuries here.

Any other survivors in the area?

As far as I know, we're the only ones, sir.

O'Neill?

Go ahead.

We found

but they're not in good shape.

How bad?

Some can walk, but most need immediate medical treatment.

Is major Carter with them?

I'm afraid not.

SG-3's going to need a little help

to get the gate back up.

Sgs 11 and 21

are assembling now, colonel.

I'll be sending them through momentarily.

Unfortunately, that means a delay

before I can send any other resources

to help with the search.

Getting the wounded out is our first priority, sir.

Agreed, but if there are any other survivors out there,

they may not have a lot of time.

Understood, sir. We'll keep trying.

Jacob!

Anubis drones...

We know.

Take this.

It's not 100%,

but it's all we've got.

It only has a few more shots.

Sam has a fully charged power unit.

Where is she?

I don't know.

I don't even know if she's still alive.

How are you doing?

It's nothing selmak can't handle.

Jacob, we need to know

what happened out there.

How did Anubis get the location to the new Alpha site?

I have no idea.

I was with Sam when the self-destruct went off.

One of the drones was chasing us into the forest.

George, if I survived the blast,

you know that thing survived as well.

What about the prototype weapon?

I gave it to colonel O'Neill,

but it's only semi-effective in its current configuration.

The upgraded power unit was with Sam.

And we have no idea where she is?

She's still missing.

Is there anything else we can use against these drones?

Their armor is impervious to energy weapons,

and regular firearms are useless.

What about the drones

that were killed in the blast?

Kinetic energy. An explosion of that size...

They can't ignore physics.

So with enough kinetic energy...

It would have to be a lot.

How about a missile?

That might do it,

if you get close enough.

Sergeant siler?

Prepare a uav with ucav specs.

Yes, sir.

Am I in some kind of trouble here, sir?

The fact that the Alpha site has been compromised

indicates we've got a serious breach of security

on our hands here.

The Pentagon is demanding

I launch a formal inquiry immediately.

Justtell me what happened, son.

To tell you the truth, sir, I'm not entirely sure myself.

I was still at chow when the alarm went off.

By the time I made it to the command center,

colonel Riley had already ordered the evacuation.

What happened to the Stargate?

It was hit by an alkesh bomber.

We were cut off. That's when the drones landed in scout ships.

They took everything we threw at them,

and they just kept coming.

So colonel Riley ordered the self-destruct?

He knew there was some sensitive material

on the base, sir.

He stayed with the device

so the enemy wouldn't have a chance to disarm it.

He told the rest of us that we had one minute

to make it to the treeline.

I should've stayed with him.

You were following orders, major.

Yes, sir.

Can you tell me if there was any unusual activity

at the Alpha site in the last few days?

Any unscheduled gate activations,

or unexplained signals?

No, sir.

What about the Jaffa and the tok'ra?

Well, they haven't been getting along very well,

but there's nothing unusual about that.

I want a list of all personnel... human, tok'ra, and Jaffa...

Who've come and gone through the Alpha site gate

in the last 48 hours.

Yes, sir.

Footprints.

Standard issue from the SGC.

Indeed.

The depth of the impression is consistent

with someone of major Carter's size.

There's another set over there.

Someone much larger.

Perhaps the drone.

Yeah.

Do you believe this prototype weapon

will be effective against it?

We'll jump off that bridge

when we come to it.

So, uh, how's the leg?

It's getting there, slowly but surely.

Yeah, slowly.

The way you heal, it'll probably take a day.

You didn't come here to ask me about my leg.

You want to know what happened to Sam.

Yeah.

The base was under attack.

We could hear the explosions getting closer

and the sound of scout ships approaching...

We have to leave now.

Just give me a second.

But we had to download the weapon design

into the matrix crystal

and wipe the computer memory.

You have the prototype!

We can't leave this information

forthem to find.

How much longer?

Finished.

It worked.

Not good enough.

Let's get the hell out of here.

The Stargate was hit.

We couldn't get out...

So we ran for the hills.

The drone followed us.

If Sam is still alive, it's still after her.

Maybe it's just hiding,

waiting for a chance to go back through the gate.

Out of all the rooms on that base,

why did it come to that lab?

And why did it chase us, as opposed to anyone else?

You think it knew about the prototype?

I think that was the whole reason

for the attack.

Somehow, Anubis knows

we may have the only weapon in the galaxy

capable of stopping his soldiers.

And Sam has the design.

That thing won't stop until it finds her.

Sergeant siler, report.

We're ready to go, sir.

Well done. I want it airborne now.

Yes, sir.

General, medical reports

that the leader of the Jaffa survivors

is cleared for debriefing.

I want to speak to him immediately.

Yes, sir.

I do not understand why I'm being questioned.

We need to determine exactly what happened.

If you wish to know who betrayed the secret of your base,

I suggest you ask the tok'ra.

Why do you say that?

They are without honor.

They're your allies.

Then why will they not help us?

What are you talking about?

Even as we speak,

Anubis is moving against the system lord olokun.

His drones are slaughtering

the Jaffa that stand against them.

They are dying for a hopeless cause.

What does that have to do with the tok'ra?

We believe they have a spy in olokun's higher ranks,

one who could get close enough to assassinate him.

The tok'ra keep us apprised of their ongoing operations.

I have no knowledge

of any spy in olokun's ranks.

Then they are lying to you as well.

With their master dead,

the siege would be over,

and olokun's Jaffa would be free to join our movement.

Our gate logs show

that a group of Jaffa left the Alpha site

less than 24 hours before it was attacked.

You sent your own people, didn't you?

Yes.

Have they reported back?

They have not.

If they were captured by Anubis...

No Jaffa would succumb to torture.

Anubis doesn't have to resort to torture.

He has technology at his disposal

that allows him to simply read a prisoner's mind.

When heru'er was killed,

I was forced to pledge allegiance

to the system lord apophis.

The slayer of my master became my master.

So it has been for all Jaffa

for many thousands of years,

but now we can choose to fight our oppressors.

We can choose to be free.

I ask only that the Jaffa who serve olokun

be given that same choice.

If you allow me to goto the beta site

to speakto the other survivors,

I may be able to discover

what happened to the Jaffa we sent.

Very well.

Colonel O'Neill?

General.

Status report.

We found tracks, sir.

Could be Carter's.

What direction?

East, up into the hills.

The higher ground is a more defensible position.

Understood.

I'll have the uav fly a search pattern

in that area. Hammond out.

Jacob...

Any news on Sam?

Not yet.

We have a uav airborne,

and all available sg teams

are searching.

I don't know anyone tougher or more resourceful.

She'll find a way out of this.

How's the investigation going?

I've been meaning to talk to you about that.

Do you know anything about atok'ra operative

within olokun's ranks?

No.

According the Jaffa,

you have a spy in his inner circle.

They're mistaken.

Unscheduled offworld activation.

Did you learn anything at the beta site?

Of the Jaffa sent to recruit rebels

from olokun's armies,

only one has returned.

The fate of the others is unknown.

Anubis has won a major victory.

Thousands of Jaffa have been killed

and many of olokun's commanders captured,

the tok'ra spy among them.

That's impossible.

If we had someone on the inside,

I would've known about it.

Are you sure?

Thank you for your co-operation in this matter, delek.

I do not see the need

to continue this investigation, general.

The Jaffa have as much as admitted responsibility.

All we know for sure

is that some of the men they sent to recruit rebels

from olokun's armies

didn't return.

Because they were captured in Anubis's latest offensive.

It's the most logical explanation.

According to the Jaffa, a tok'ra spy was also captured.

We both know that Jaffa intelligence

is not always as reliable as it should be.

So you're saying you had no operative in olokun's ranks?

I am unable to discuss such matters

at this present time.

The terms of our alliance dictate full disclosure.

In matters of joint concern.

The security of the Alpha site is a matter of joint concern.

But the disposition of our operatives

has no bearing on the security of the Alpha site.

So you claim.

You have allies

amongst the other nations of this planet, do you not?

Of course.

Do you always practice full disclosure

with them?

We gave you shelter

when you had nowhere else to go.

Because you needed us.

Just as you brought us telchak's reanimation device

because you needed our help

to develop a weapon against Anubis's drones,

but you are not always so forthcoming.

There is, for example,

your program to build and design hybrid ships

using Goa'uld technologies,

a program which the tok'ra feel is extremely unwise.

We need those ships for the defense of earth.

And so you feel it is none of our concern.

You see, general, it works both ways.

You ask us to trust

that your headlong pursuit

of technologies that you don't understand

poses no threat,

but you fail to offer similar consideration

when it comes to our policy on using covert operatives.

Let me ask you something.

How many tok'ra from the Alpha site

are still unaccounted for?

Five.

Do you know how many people I'm missing?

64.

Believe me when I say

I'm going to get to the bottom of this,

with or without your help.

I've been expecting you.

No doubt you have spoken to general Hammond.

He says he asked you if we had a spy

in olokun's inner circle.

Yes, he did.

He asked me the same question.

Of course I told him no,

because only the high council could make a decision like that,

and since I'm on the high council,

I would know about it...

Wouldn't I?

Or is there something you want to tell me?

If you have a concern,

you can take it up with the council yourself.

Who do you think you're talking to?

An interesting question.

It seems I am talking to a human host.

Make no mistake, delek.

I am still selmak,

and I was a leader of the tok'ra

before you had even taken a host.

Maybe you've been a leader too long.

The tauri are unlike

other humans in the galaxy.

Their will has not been eroded

by thousands of years of slavery.

This can be a valuable asset,

but it can also make them dangerous,

particularly as hosts.

Jacob Carter has had no more influence on me

than any other host.

There are those of us who would disagree.

You have allowed yourself

to get too close to these people, selmak.

Your true loyalties are in question.

You speak for the entire council?

You still have your defenders,

although their numbers are diminishing.

So you did meet without me...

And you did send an operative.

And if you had known,

would you have told general Hammond?

They have a right to know.

We knew you would feel that way,

which is precisely why you were not informed.

So delek admits

that this spy has gone missing?

Yes, but the tok'ra will never acknowledge

that he could've been responsible

for what happened at the Alpha site.

Tok'ra operatives have orders

never to allow themselves to be taken alive.

What about a sarcophagus?

They take special precautions

to ensure that the brain is not left intact.

No revival is possible.

This is all assuming the man wasn't taken unawares.

The system isn't foolproof,

but they won't admit that.

Thetruth is,

I don't think you'll ever find out for sure

who was responsible for the leak.

It could've been the tok'ra or the Jaffa.

It could've been both.

Look, I've helped you as much as I can

with this investigation,

but right now, I'd like to get back to the Alpha site

and join the search.

I need you here.

George, I already told you, I'm out of the loop.

They don't trust me anymore.

They think my emotions are clouding my judgment,

which is a little ironic,

considering that I'm wasting all this time

while my own daughter is out there

being hunted by that thing.

We have our best people on this, Jacob.

They will find her.

And what am I supposed to do in the meantime?

I just got a report from the beta site.

The Jaffa are blaming the tok'ra for what happened.

There've already been several altercations.

If I can't get the situation under control,

I have orders to expel them all.

Our alliance is falling apart.

I need someone to bridge the gap,

someone to be the voice of reason.

I need you.

O'Neill?

Go ahead.

The uav has been shot down

in your area.

It's four klicks away

on a heading of three-two-zero degrees

from your present location.

We're on it.

Why have you asked me here?

You know what's happening at the beta site?

I do.

We need your help toputastoptoit

before it gets out of hand.

You're a leader amongst the Jaffa.

They'll listen to you.

And what would you have me say?

That they must continue to bear

the arrogance of the tok'ra without complaint?

That they must be subservient

to those who would sacrifice so many of their brothers?

For thousands of years,

the Jaffa have been dependent on the Goa'uld

because they need symbiotes to sustain them,

but now there is a substance called tretonin

which can free the Jaffa

from this dependence.

I am aware of the significance of tretonin.

Are you also aware

that countless millions of tok'ra symbiotes

died in its development,

including our beloved queen egeria,

the queen from whom

all our lineage can be traced?

I was not.

Forthe first time,

the tok'ra have fought side by side

with the Jaffa and the people of the tauri,

and it has made a difference.

More system lords have fallen

in the past seven years

than in the 700 years previous.

It Is true that together we are strong.

And divided, we will die.

We cannot let the alliance between us end.

Your words are wise,

but my time at the Alpha site

has taught me some bitter lessons.

I suspect that you do not speak

for all the tok'ra.

No.

Until the others feel as you do,

reconciliation may not be possible.

Gentlemen, we've asked you here together

because we need your help

to keep the situation at the beta site

from getting out of hand.

I'm not sure what you expect

thetok'ra to do, general.

We have suffered a number of unprovoked assaults.

Unprovoked?

You refused to help us,

and thousands of Jaffa died needlessly.

Assassinating olokun was never an option.

Why not?

We had no way of knowing

how many Jaffa would join the rebels.

We could have been delivering an entire army

into the hands of Anubis.

They deserved the right to choose.

Instead, they were slaughtered.

We have been fighting the Goa'uld

for thousands of years.

You have no right to question our methods.

That's because you were alone

for thousands of years. You have allies now.

And what good has it done us?

In the few short years we have known the tauri,

your tendency to provoke direct confrontation with the Goa'uld

has resulted in deaths of more tok'ra

than in the previous hundred years combined.

I hate to admit it, George, but he's got a point.

When a human or a Jaffa dies in battle,

more are born to take their place.

The same can't be said for the tok'ra.

Our queen egeria,

from whom all tok'ra have spawned, is dead.

Our numbers are dwindling.

This alliance may simply be something we cannot afford.

Carter, I need the...

Thanks.

Cover him.

Is it...

Yeah, it's dead.

Right, Teal'c? He's dead?

Yeah, he's dead.

Do you want to get up?

I just need to rest for a minute.

Come on.

First of all, we would like to congratulate you

on the recovery of major Carter.

We are glad to know that she is safe.

Thank you.

I have spoken to the high council

with regard to the situation at the beta site.

The council believes the best solution is for the tok'ra to leave.

Is that really necessary?

If this partnership were to continue,

you would insist on full disclosure

of all our covert operations, would you not?

I'm afraid that's non-negotiable.

In that case, we must refuse.

Secrecy is our only weapon.

It's all we've ever known.

The Jaffa, too, will be leaving.

I don't understand. With the tok'ra gone...

We are not leaving because of the tok'ra.

We are leaving because it is what we must do.

On your base, you dictate the terms.

We must consult you

before we take any action.

There are those among us who feel

we simply traded one master for another.

We're not trying to tell you what to do.

We simply think it's important to coordinate our efforts.

Unlike the tauri or the tok'ra,

the Jaffa are still learning what it means to be free.

In order to do this,

we must have our own bases,

train our own leaders, build our own communities.

We must do this for ourselves, or it would have no meaning.

Only then can we be equal partners in any alliance.

I'm sorry. This is nuts.

My friend almost died out there

so we could get a weapon capable of stopping Anubis's soldiers,

and now we're finally in a position

where we can really make a difference,

and you want to walk away?

I'm sorry, Dr. Jackson.

This is how it must be.

Hiya, kid.

You were asleep for a long time.

You gave me quite a scare.

Sorry.

Jacktold me what happened.

I'm proud of you.

Look, Sam...

I may not be able to come around as much

for the next little while.

What do you mean?

Things kind of got screwed up while you were out there.

The alliance is in trouble.

I don't understand.

You don't need to know the details right now.

Let's just say we're going our separate ways for awhile.

If I stay with the tok'ra,

I can at least try to mend some fences.

Are you sure?

I'm not ready to give up on this just yet.

Don't worry, I'll be back eventually.

I'll miss you.

I'll miss you, too.
