Computer: Unauthorized incoming wormhole.
Move! Move!
Reinforced, sir.
Receiving g.D.O. Transmission
at special code two, sir.
Open the Iris.
Please help.
He's bleeding internally.
I'm gonna have to open him up.
Operating room one, now. Let's move it.
Man: Let's go. Go, go, go.
Tak'ma'tay bra'tac,
are you in need of medical assistance?
The blood is not mine.
What has transpired?
Chulak was attacked...
By apophis.
Son of a bitch.
Apophis must have transported off of sokar's ship
before it exploded.
Somebody's got to teach that guy how to die.
Bra'tac: He controls the army of sokar,
a most powerful force.
I will return with you at once.
The fight is over, Teal'c.
The attack was swift.
There was nothing left to do
but try to save the life of young moac,
my newest apprentice.
Carter: But attacking chulak doesn't make sense.
I mean, all the Jaffa weren't willing
to oppose the Goa'uld, were they?
No.
Of course, it's ouicker and easier to wipe them all out
rather than try to weed out the traitors.
Hammond.
I understand.
Bra'tac, you'd better get down to the O.R. right away.
We've done everything we can.
I have failed you.
No.
It is I who have failed you.
You are the bravest Jaffa I have ever trained.
I'm scared.
Kra'Mel'Kara.
His body is to be burned.
I will see to it personally.
I am an old man, Teal'c.
One day, iwish to spread moac's ashes
on the grave of apophis.
But I do not know if I have the strength
to fight anymore.
Many have died, old friend...
Buttheir deaths must not go in vain.
Word of this must spread to all Jaffa.
Yes...
But maybe it is for someone younger and stronger than I
to spread that word.
You are the strongest Jaffa
I have ever known.
In my 135 years,
I have never seen a Goa'uld
turn on those that carry its kind this way.
He massacred so many
that have worshipped him for so long.
Perhaps he has done this to show the system lords
howtruly powerful he has become.
You know well apophis has weapons
that could have been used from space.
There had to be some other purpose.
His army swept through chulak as if...
They were searching for something.
The harsis.
Apophis fathered a child with sha're,
the host of his mate, ammonet.
He hoped to create a new host for himself.
It is forbidden.
Yes. Because the child would contain
all the knowledge of the Goa'uld.
Ammonet hid the boy to keep him safe.
Of course.
The boy would be hunted.
He could be the undoing of all the Goa'uld.
But apophis also doesn't know where ammonet hid him.
Which is why they were searching chulak.
Do you know where this child is?
Oh, all I know is that it's a place called keb.
You have heard of such a place.
It is an ancient legend.
I did not believe it really existed.
It has to.
The Goa'uld fear and despise keb.
They forbade anyone from speaking of it long ago.
It is something my father once spoke of to me—...
An old tale about a place discovered long ago
by a few Jaffa
and kept secret from the Goa'uld.
When they could no longer carry a primta,
they would make their journey to keb.
There, their calak would learn the path
through the darkness into the next life.
Calak. That means soul, right?
Yes.
When some of the Goa'uld
finally found out about keb,
they made their way there. They did not return.
It was forbidden to speak of ever again.
My father enjoyed telling me this story.
"If the Goa'uld are truly all—powerful gods,"
he would say,
"how is it that they fear anything?"
Well, it sounds like the perfect place
to hide someone you don't want a Goa'uld to find.
I don't suppose you happen to know the Stargate address?
No.
Well, all I have is some obscure earth mythology
that indicates osiris once hid there from set.
That story, as told among Jaffa,
is that osiris hid
on one of the planets of the lok'na core.
What's that?
A group of planets whose resources have been depleted by mining.
I don't suppose you happen to know
the addresses of any of those plan ets?
Bra'tac: Th ere.
Those are the planets of the lok'na core.
What's the red one?
We basically have two reference maps
for Stargate addresses.
Yellow represents the cartouche
that the Goa'uld left on abydos,
and the addresses from the ancients' original map
of the Stargates is in red.
You don't recognize this address here?
No.
If the legend is true,
the Goa'uld never would have included keb
on their cartouche.
Well, this address is the only planet
in the system that the Goa'uld
didn't include on their map.
We found it.
How do we know for sure thatthis is keb?
The story I have heard says keb is an untouched wilderness
with great mountains and a single temple
in a valley distant from the Stargate.
If the Goa'uld are scared of keb,
that would explain why they never mined this planet.
If ammonetthoughtto hide the harsis on keb,
then apophis will presume so.
Well, scary stories or not,
apophis is just nuts enough to go.
I'd like some backup on this one, sir.
Sg—2 will accompany you.
As will I.
Let's just hope we're first.
Check in every 30 minutes.
Yes, sir.
Hold the fort, major.
Yes, sir.
O'Neill: What you got?
A group of Jaffa passed through here recently.
So...
Notthe first.
Teal'c: You have been unusually silent, master bra'tac.
There is not much time left
before I can no longer carry a primta.
When that time comes,
iwill have to decide what to do.
If this truly is keb,
thattime may be upon us both.
What is it?
6 of the Jaffa stopped here.
Two went on ahead.
They returned with another, a woman.
How do you know that?
Here.
The third of the prints are small and light,
the shoe, an open—toed sandal worn by Jaffa women.
When they all met up again, there was a struggle,
then they headed into the forest.
Each print is spread wide.
They were running.
He's good.
Extremely.
The woman may be the priestess entrusted with the child.
You smell that?
Yeah.
Whoa!
O'Neill: Carter?
It's ok, sir. It's just a bird.
Jackson: No.
Look.
Carter: This is really weird.
These bodies are burntto a crisp,
and yet nothing around them
has even been touched.
It's almost as if lightning struck.
Or maybe some kind of—...
I have never before seen a weapon that could do such athing.
Weapon.
Bra'tac: Over here!
She was shot in the back as she fled.
I counted 8 bodies...
Total.
So what happened here?
The priestess was being escorted
back to th e Stargate by two of the Jaffa.
When they met the others, she realized she was in danger.
She attempted to flee.
They chased her and shot her.
Then someone or something attacked them.
You can't know that for sure.
I am quite certain.
What about the child?
She carried the child.
Come on. How can you know that?
Her hands are not bound.
Yes. And they shot low.
And what happened to the boy?
That I cannot guess.
The priestess died more than two days ago.
When his Jaffa did not return the harsis,
apophis should have sent more.
Perhaps many more.
Keb?
Keb.
Carter: No welcoming party.
Well, someone's been reading Martha Stewart.
They're probably inside.
Daniel?
Jack?
What are you doing?
Well, something about this place
says we all shouldn't rush in there
waving guns around.
He is right.
This is sacred ground.
Wait here.
I have dreamed of finding this place
twice as long as you have been alive.
I will accompany you.
Hey, whoa!
Where did you come from?
I have been here for some time.
O'Neill: No.
You weren't here when we just came in.
Here is everywhere you are.
Excuse me?
Um, hello. I'm, uh, Daniel Jackson.
This is Jack O'Neill,
andthis is bra'tac. We're peaceful explorers from a place called earth.
Do you seek on en ess with desala?
Jackson: Desala.
I know that word. It sounds tribal,
African maybe.
Desala is everything, everywhere.
Nature.
It, uh, means nature.
Put no barriers between you and where you are.
Don't look at me.
I believe he wishes us to take off our boots.
O'Neill: Yeah, look...
We've been walking a ways today.
Yourjourney has only begun.
I'm just saying I think I'm doing us all a big favor
by keeping these babies on.
When the mind is enlightened,
the spirit is freed.
The body matters not.
Here's an idea.
Why don't we just askthe man if the boy is here?
We've come looking for a boy.
A baby.
Lightning flashes, sparks shower.
In one blink of your eyes you have mis—seen.
Lightning, you say.
I only know a snowflake cannot exist
in a storm of fire.
What?
Jack. No, I—...
You know me, I'm a huge fan of subtlety,
but that's down right encrypted.
Jackson: Sorry. Don't—— Don't worry about him.
The sun is warm.
Wind is wild.
Grass is green along the shores.
Here, no bull can hide.
I don't know about that.
Jack, he's speaking in the zen codes.
Whatever theology he follows
may be an original basis for buddhism on earth.
Well, that's very nice.
I'll be sure to call the Dalai Lama when I get home,
but for now,
how about why we came here?
He's right. This is very important.
Is there a child here?
There is a child in all of us.
Oh, come on.
He seeks a real human boy,
of flesh and bones.
Those who seek on eness find all thatthey seek.
I think this is gonna take a while.
Really?
What gives you that idea?
Everything ok?
It is nothing.
I do not have a good feeling about this place.
What of the harsis child, O'Neill?
I don't know.
There's a monk guy in there.
Danielthinks he might know something,
so he's gonna play along for a while.
Play along?
Something about enlightenment?
But, sir—— I know. I know.
Monk: Within you is a being
whose heart knows only darkness.
Yes.
You must renounce such evil
to achieve on en ess with oma desala.
Oma, what does—— What does that mean?
Words cannot express things.
Speech cannot convey the spirit.
Swayed by words, one is lost.
One cannot carry darkness on the great path.
If I remove the symbiote within me, iwould die.
You cannot start the journey with it inside you.
So ajaffa cannot seek oneness
before he is willing to die.
When the mind is freed,
the body is no longer required.
I sense you are not ready to meet oma desala.
I am not ready to die,
but I take solace in the fact
that journey is ahead of me.
So... I don't, uh—...
I don't have to die, right?
You do not have the same evil within you.
Good.
But you have your own burdens
of which to rid yourself.
I am not yet ready to give up.
I feel alive, Teal'c,
like a young man of 80.
We still have false gods to slay.
Monk: She goes into the lake
without making a ripple.
She goes into the forest
without disturbing a blade of grass.
Who is she?
The mother.
Desala.
Nature.
Mother nature. We're——we're—...
We're talking about mother nature.
Why do you seekthis child of flesh and bones?
He is the son of my wife.
But not your son.
No...
But my wife is dead now, and I promised her
I would make sure the boy is safe.
And you are sure he will be safe with you.
Yes. Absolutely.
Because it is so clear,
ittakes a longer time to realize it.
If you immediately know the candlelight is fire,
then the meal was cooked a long time ago.
Right.
Um, I, uh—...
I have no idea what you're talking about.
I can't do it.
You say you seekthis child
to fulfill a promise.
Yes.
Is there another reason?
The child has knowledge.
He can help my people defend themselves
against an evil enemy—— The Goa'uld.
You hate the Goa'uld.
The Goa'uld are responsible
for the death of my wife...
Among millions and millions
of other people.
How can I not hate them?
Your hate will lead
to the child's death.
How do you know that?
You must trust.
You must believe.
Well, maybe what I don't believe
is that I can light a candle with my mind.
You see, I find it a lot easier
to use a lighter or a match.
It's much more practical.
Wow.
Now you blow it out.
With your mind.
Sorry.
Could you, uh—...
Could you light that again?
This isn't like a trick candle or anything, is it?
Putyour hand in the flame.
What?
Place your hand in the flame.
Ah!
Why did you tell me to do that? Why did you do it?
Because you told me to.
Because you trusted.
Yes.
Within you is the capacity for trust.
Trust oma desala.
Do not believe you can lightthe candle.
Believe she can lightthe candle.
Time's up.
Jack, the markings on the wall are a language.
It's a Bible.
Uh, no, actually it's more of an instruction book
on how to reach this ethereal plane of existence,
some kind of other world.
It's only natural the Jaffa who foundthis place
would have interpreted it as a passage to the afterlife.
Whoa. Slow down there, grasshopper.
Ok. I'm pretty sure that this place
was built by an alien race millennia ago.
They may have even visited earth
and inspired the mythologies
surrounding the concept of mother nature
in various cultures.
So this guy's an alien?
No.
Um, I'm pretty sure the aliens
discovered a means by which they could
ascendto some higher plane of existence
and wentthere, uh, wherever there is,
butthey left the writings in the shrine
as a kind of map for others who wanted to follow them.
The monk is just someone who has sort of taken up curatorship.
Kind of a janitor?
More of a guide. An Usher?
It doesn't matter. Just watch.
Am I supposed to believe you did that?
Yes.
Daniel...
A word?
We didn't come here to learn parlor tricks.
Jack. Is the boy here or not?
I think so.
Because every minute we stay here, we're risking our necks.
I know that. So please understand I'm on the verge
of ordering a complete search of this place
with or without his cooperation. You can't do that.
You're confused, Daniel. I can. So far, I haven't.
I am gaining his trust.
And how long is something like that gonna take?
Jack, you don't understand.
Ithinki do.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
All right. That's dangerous. Put it down.
That was a little more impressive.
How did you do that?
Actually, I did that.
What?
That's what I've been trying to tell you.
This is—— it's incredible.
He taught you how to—...
Howto do things with my mind.
You could do it, too.
He could teach me how to light candles
and move stuff around bythinking?
I cannotteach you what you already know.
Oh, I don'tthink I know as much as you think I know.
You must come to know oma desala,
become her friend.
Thatyour friend?
Great.
Teal'c, bra'tac, want to check that out?
Major coburn? This is O'Neill.
Read you, sir.
We've got some Jaffa activity here. How's your position?
Clear, sir. Good. Stand by.
I want claymores from the entrance to here.
I thought we were leaving.
O'Neill: Me, too.
So is the kid here or not?
Jack. Daniel, that was a glider.
We're out of time.
Time means nothing to—...
Ah, ah.
Don't say it.
Claymores are set, sir.
Good.
Daniel thinks we should stay.
Why?
Well, watch.
What?
You did that?
Yes.
That's impossible.
You'dthink.
Why?
You learned the power to control fire.
It's not just fire.
All the instructions are here...
On the walls.
All you have to do is be willing to learn and believe.
I'm sorry, but something else has to be going on here.
Why?
I don't know, but under different circumstances,
iwould bring in the right equipment
and check for some kind of concealed technology
before I assumedthat—...
Isn't there the smallest part of you that wants to believe
a person can reach a higher level?
Yes, of course, but—...
Don't you see what's happening here?
I have that power.
To do what?
To protect the child.
I think she doesn't want me to leave until she knows
I understand how to protect him.
Who's she?
The Goa'uld mother ship has landed.
As many as 2,000 troops approach.
Love to stay and chat.
Wait——wait a minute. What about—...
Doh!
We must leave immediately
and elude them through the forest.
Where's Daniel?
O'Neill: Daniel?
Daniel, we gotta go.
For crying out loud.
I don't know where he is.
He's not in there.
Carter: So what do we do?
Coburn. O'Neill.
Read you, sir.
Hightail it back th rough the gate.
Tell Hammond we're pinned down.
Request backup.
Yes, sir.
Lots of backup.
Damn.
All right. Here they come.
Defensive positions.
Hold off on the claymores as long as we can.
I don't want to get into this
unless we absolutely have to.
And if we happen to make it out of this in one piece,
remind me to harm Daniel severely.
Thank you.
He'll be safe with me.
I didn't do any of it, did I?
It was you.
I was wrong.
I don't——I don't have any powers at all.
You do.
You were showing them to me.
That's how you communicate with us.
You were trying to tell me the boy is better off here with you,
and I...
Iwasn't listening.
I made a promise.
I promised he would be safe.
You're not welcome here.
In the name of the god apophis,
we've come for a young boy.
You will leave now.
We will not.
Stand aside.
Jackson: No!
Drop your weapons!
Do it!
Drop your weapons.
You heard him.
I was talking to you, Jack.
Wha——what?
Do it now, all of you.
Daniel?
Jack, iwas wrong. I was very wrong.
One of those aliens ithought was long gone is still here.
Sir, we put our guns down, and we're dead.
You are outnumbered and surrounded.
You will die if you do not.
Jack, if you're ever going to trust me on anything, now is the time.
The alien is the one with all the powers,
and she is not someone you want to fool with, if you get my drift.
You must do it.
Kill them.
Bye.
Aah!
Well, that was cool.
Wow.
You're leaving.
You know that more of them will come
as long as they know the boy is here.
I'll see both of you again someday, right?
I take it that was the harsis child she was holding.
Yeah.
I thought we needed that kid.
You're just gonna let her...
No choice, huh?
Colonel O'Neill, this is major coburn. Come in.
Yeah, go ahead, major.
Reinforcements are on their way, sir.
Take your time.
We're secure.
Good to hear, sir.
Uh, sir, the Stargate just came on.
There's a strange bright light headed this way.
Do not engage.
Repeat, get out of the way and do not engage.
In fact, I'm ordering you all
to put down your weapons
until that light is gone. Do you read?
Yes, sir.
Coburn: It's gone, sir.
You all right?
Yeah.
Let's go home.
O'Neill: Daniel?
Yeah? Shoes.
