Daniel: As you know, over th e past year,
I've been studying the unas of p3x888,
and I've made some amazing discoveries
about their social structure andtheir culture.
I've also been able to categorize
almost 70 individual words from their language.
But during a review
of the latest batch of digital images,
I came across this.
These men, whoever they are,
abducted the unas I refer to as chaka.
That's the one that kidnapped you.
Same one.
Their dress indicates preindustrialization,
but they don't seem to have any Jaffa tattoos,
so the presence of Goa'uld weapons seems... contradictory.
Indeed.
What would th ey want with an unas?
I don't know, but I'd like to find out.
What are you suggesting?
Well, like Jack said, I'd like to find out
what they want with an unas.
For the record, I don't care.
I care.
I also think it might be relevant to investigate
howthese men got Goa'uld weapons and from where.
They may have other Goa'uld technology as well.
Now, see, that I really care about.
And if possible, I'd like to make every effort
to rescue chaka.
The unas?
Remember, most of the unas we've encountered
have had Goa'uld symbiotes controlling them.
Chaka is an ungoa'uld unas, an intelligent being
who learned to trust humans because of me.
And?
These images were taken just prior to the abduction.
See, every time I went back with sg—I I
to retrieve the video footage,
iwould leave chaka a gift.
It's... it's an energy bar.
It's something that helped me...
Breakthrough when we first met.
I left the bait for their trap.
How do we find out where these men took him?
Well, general, if they've got Goa'uld weapons,
you've gotto wonder what else they got.
You have a go.
Thank you.
The u.A.V. Shows the nearest of the surrounding towns
to be three clicks in that direction.
Evidence of a substantial population—...
Lots of cultivated fields.
Daniel: Farmers?
Farmers with staff weapons.
Domestication.
Yeah.
We'll checkthings out down there.
Carter, you an d Teal'c hang back,
cover us in case these folks don't like visitors.
Any ideas?
Well, let's...
See how far honesty gets us.
Man: This animal comes from an excellent bloodline.
He can crush grain at the stone mill
from first light to day's end.
He can haul any cart with any load any distance.
(Buzz)
(G rowls)
And he has spirit.
(Buzz)
(G rowls)
(Onlookers murmuring)
Who will start the bidding?
(Buzz)
(Growling)
Do not fear. It's dead.
Yeah. You shoot something like that
in the back a couple times, it's—...
Who are you?
We're travelers... Peaceful travelers.
Where do you come from?
I've not seen your kind before.
Well, actually, we came th rough the Stargate.
The, um...
Chappa—ai?
Chappa—ai.
Really?
Yes.
(Murmuring)
No one has come through the chappa—ai
for as long as anyone can remember.
Well, now you'll have a story
to tell your grandkids.
We come from a planet called earth.
What do you want?
Actually, we came to trade.
Hmm?
Really?
We're looking for an unas.
Well, then...
You've come to the right place.
I'm the most respected dealer
of unas in this land.
My name is burrock.
I'm Daniel Jackson,
andthis is colonel Jack O'Neill.
Colonel?
Yes. It means he's our head... trader.
Head trader?
I like that.
Then you can call me colonel burrock.
It is our custom to welcome visitors with a drink.
Will you join me?
It is our custom to drink. Of course.
(Ah em)
Honesty, huh?
We're traders. Yeah.
We've traded. We trade.
We're trading.
Thank you.
You thank a beast?
Yes. Positive reinforcement.
We find it a successful method of training.
I'm curious to learn
more about your methods...
Andto learn more about where you came from.
So, no one else has actually
come through the chappa—ai?
I have often wondered
why there are so many symbols
on the pedestal.
I have stood for hours on end
pressing different combinations,
but nothing happened.
The fact that you have come here
from a place we do not know
proves that I am right—...
The chappa—ai goes many places,
does it not?
Haven't you traveled to other worlds?
I have been to one other place,
just one time so far.
I had to press seven different symbols
to getthe chappa—ai to open.
How did you learn those symbols?
I paid dearly for them.
They have been passed down
through the lineage of certain families
since the beast wars.
Beast wars?
Generations ago, the beasts enslaved our forefathers
through terror and oppression.
They served the one with the glowing eyes.
And what happened to him... her?
No one knows.
One day he went away and did not return.
Our forefathers, they learned
how the beasts' weapons worked
and led an uprising. The war was bloody,
waged for many years.
But eventually the slaves triumphed
and the masters became the slaves.
Since then,
the beasts have served us.
(Growling)
Like the one at the auction that got away,
this one comes from our local stock.
I believe him to be untrainable.
His head is not right,
even for a beast.
Maybe he's just pissed
because you keep torturing him.
(Ch uckles)
The unfortunate result of generations of inbreeding.
I'm afraid he'll have to be put down.
Do you not have this problem where you come from?
We've made some progress actually.
Interesting.
The only choice we had was to introduce new blood.
Fortunately, I was able to find some.
This one will make me
the wealthiest beast master in the land.
(Growling)
Dan... El.
He speaks?
Yes.
Your name.
Yes. That's because he's mine.
You deceived me.
You said you came here to trade for an unas,
notto claim one of your own!
We just wanted to make sure he was here
before we made an issue out of it.
These beasts... all of them...
Bear my Mark.
Yours had no such identification.
You heard him say my name.
I caught him in the wild of the other place.
It was part of an experiment I was conducting.
I'm sorry, but I really need him back.
I am sorry. You cannot have him.
(Sighs)
Does colonel O'Neill require our assistance?
He hasn't signaled yet.
I could offer another unas in exchange.
This one is of good stock,
and he's already trained.
You don't understand.
This one's name is chaka, and he is coming with me.
Daniel. Jack.
Why don't we discuss
what we can offer the man in return?
Shall we?
Outside.
Aah!
Daniel, we are not going to get
into a fire fight over this right now.
If you expect to trade for that unas,
do notthink it will come cheap
so, what's your price?
Two unas of equally pure lineage.
Two for one, eh?
Your unas is worth it,
or you would not have traveled all this way.
Besides, you obviously have
more sophisticated methods
for capturing and training them.
We'll... think about it.
Come on.
Excuse me.
You, uh... got some sort of plan
to do something about this or...
Well, right now I'm not sure
I'm gonna do anything.
How can you say that?
Daniel, you want to go out
and catch a couple of unas,
trade them for chaka, is that it?
I think you're missing the point here.
Am I?
You saw how they keep them, how they treatthem.
Daniel, I'm not saying any of this is right.
I'm saying I don't know what to do about it.
I'm not asking that we change their way of life,
but chaka wasn't born into this kind of...
Domestication.
He's known freedom his whole life.
The unas of his planet
live together in families.
They love their children.
They have art.
Oh, yes. I've seen the cave drawings.
I will not leave him here like this.
Even if it means risking human lives?
We should be able to avoid that,
shouldn't we?
So, what's going on?
They're using unas as slaves.
They've been inbreeding them so long
they've become untrainable.
They needed new blood, and they have chaka,
andthey're not giving him up.
So, what are we gonna do?
Jack: We'll wait until dark.
Daniel andiwill go in and extract him.
You'll provide cover.
And we're gonna do it without taking human lives.
Down.
(Growling)
(Buzz)
(Groaning)
Down.
(Growling)
(Buzz)
(Groaning)
A cha'aka.
(Door creaks)
Chaka.
Dan... El.
Tell him to move back.
Chaka.
He's not moving.
Move back.
I could have said that.
Keka. Keka. Danger.
(Unas growling)
Crap! Come on. We've got to go.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
No, it's ok. It's ok. Come on.
Woktah!
What? I don't know what's wrong. Come on!
Woktah!
He says this one is marked for death.
Come on. It's ok. He's not. Come on. Let's go!
Woktah!
H e says that they're
all marked for death.
No, chaka.
Daniel, with or without them, we've got to go.
Sir, you've got company.
At least 10 men heading your way.
We're laying down cover fire.
Carter on radio: Colonel, come in. Over.
Colonel, do you read? Come in. Over.
Chaka must have grabbed that from my vest
before it was taken away.
Why would he do that?
He's seen me use it. He knows what it's for.
Chaka.
Give.
Ko.
Ko.i don't know that word.
(Growls softly)
Kois give.
Yes, chaka. Ko, ko, ko.
Thank you.
Aka.
Aka. thank you.
Daniel...
Right.
(Ah em)
Sam, it's Daniel. Do you read?
Daniel, you ok?
Uh... I've been better.
Colonel O'Neill?
Oh... physically fine,
but I'm not expecting a birthday present anytime soon.
Ko.
Chaka.
Ko.
Thank you.
Carter, report.
Carter: There were too many of them, sir.
You ordered us notto shootto kill.
We couldn't stop them.
Yeah, I know.
Currently being pursued by a search party.
Attempting to make it to the gate to get reinforcements.
Roger that. Out.
Dan... El.
A cha'aka.
Chaka.
Aka na.
Ma. Ma. Kan.
Aka na! Keka!
Ma! Kan.
Aka na.
Kan. Cha. Na.
Cha'aka.
What's he saying?
Well, actually it means a lot of differentthings—...
In this particular case, I'd say...
"Thank you for trying to free me.
"Sorry for getting you into this mess."
Cha'aka.
Chaka...
Full o' nuts. Whatever.
Jack, it's not his fault.
Daniel, I'm chained up in a madman's barn
with a bunch of unas.
Who's to blame is not
at the top of my list of concerns... just yet.
Cha'aka.
That's amazing.
What?
Language is a learned behavior.
Chaka must have taught this unas his word.
Cha'aka?
Cha'aka.
Cha'aka zo.
(Unas growling softly)
They're saying chaka is their leader.
They must recognize that he wouldn't leave without them.
Daniel, dogs sniff each other's butts,
andthey're friends for life.
We still keep them as pets.
No. No. This is different.
Chaka made a choice. Choice is freedom.
These unas have pledged
their allegiance to him because of that.
What are you saying?
I'm saying that they want to be free.
They recognize what that means.
All he said was cha'aka zo.
Cha'aka zo.
I was wrong. Chaka isn't different.
These unas may have been born into domestication,
butthey still know what freedom means.
They know it enough to want it.
You said yourself
this is their way of life here.
It has to change.
How?
Well, we've meddled in other planets' cultures before.
Well, now you're talking about
moving in an army.
I'd like to think that there was another way.
Look, in principle, I agree with you—...
You injured my father.
I'm sorry.
I really am.
We were justtrying to take back an unas
that's rightfully ours.
Stealing is wrong.
Yes, it is.
A cha'aka.
Trust me, Daniel. A whole lot of people
are gonna have to die around here
before one unas goes free.
Colonel, do you read?
Yeah, Carter. What's your situation?
We're at the gate, sir, but it's heavily guarded.
We can attempt to get through, but it's gonna get ugly.
All right, hold your position.
Radio silence. Gotto go.
Beast stealing is punishable by death.
But it is my hope that that will not be necessary.
But that will be up to you.
I also know there were others with you
an d that they may try to rescue you.
That would not be wise.
I will not hesitate to kill you.
What do you want?
Tell me of the places where the chappa—ai can go.
I do not understand why you take such risks for this beast.
He is very valuable to me,
but certainly you can replace him
with one of equal lineage.
Because they're not beasts.
They're self—aware, intelligent beings.
And you have no right to use them as slaves
or treat them like you do.
They used our forefathers as slaves
and treated them much worse
than we treat our unas.
And that makes you right?
What would you have us do?
Free them.
Ha ha ha!
Untrained? Uncontrolled?
A beast would rip me limb from limb,
eat me alive.
Then send them to their home world.
Our forefathers could have slaughtered them all,
wiped them from the face of the planet,
but instead, they saw a way
to use their strength to our advantage,
a way to coexist. For that, we thankth em.
You don't coexist. You use them as slaves.
Look, we're not gonna tell you anything,
so you might as well just let us go.
We'll go back to where we came from.
You can go on doing what you do so well.
Because nowi know for certain
there is more outthere.
Yeah, I know. The grass always looks cleaner...
The fact is, there's a whole bunch
of bad guys with glowing eyes out there,
and you really don't want to mess with them.
Aah!
Teal'c.
I will not continue to do nothing.
What are you gonna do? Teal'c!
Stop it! He's not gonna tell you anything!
Cha'aka! Keka!
(Rattling bars)
Quiet!
Quiet down!
Quiet!
Ka keka!
No!
(Click)
Impressive weapon...
But not as efficient as a fire—stick.
It seems to stop working
after it's been fired for awhile.
I assume...
That's what these are for.
Tell me how to make it work again.
Give itto me. I'll show you.
(Ch uckles)
It was simple enough
to learn how to shoot it.
I will learn this part on my own as well.
In the meantime,
hunger and thirst will weaken you.
Perhaps tomorrow you will tell me
what I want to know.
I do not understand why...
But it seems that you care for beasts
more than you care for your own well—being.
So be it.
Every morning and every night, iwill come in here
to learn what you know.
If you do nottell me, I will kill a beast.
It may cost me,
buti believe it may be worth it.
Until tonight.
Look, Teal'c, maybe we could
take out those four guys,
butthere's dozens more
who would be all over us in seconds.
Then we'd have to get through the gate.
A diversion.
Yeah, Carter, I got you.
Sir, what's your status? We heard shooting.
We're all right.
One of the unas took a hit.
Chaka?
No. He's ok. I thought I told you
to hold your position at the gate.
Yes, sir. However, Teal'c thinks
we might be able to create
a big enough distraction
to attempt a rescue, and I agree.
But we can't guarantee zero casualties.
If that's still your concern,
please advise. Over.
I don't thinkwe're gonna talk our way out of this one.
Well, for once, I'm not asking us to.
Damn it, Daniel.
Let's get out of here...
All of us.
Sir, still awaiting your orders.
Yeah. We've got three unas
who are gonna be joining us.
Do what you have to do, Carter.
You! Leave it.
Come here.
Quick! Water!
Before the fire spreads to the buildings!
(Screaming)
Get him!
Where's Teal'c?
Trying to be popular.
Stan d back.
Keka!
Come on! Come on!
Ka. Cha. Ka! Cha!
Stop!
H ey!
Daniel: Chaka!
It's ok, chaka.
Ka'nay. Friend.
Friend...
I thought you said the gate was heavi ly guarded.
The men may have gone to town
to help put out the fire.
Or we got an ambush here.
Hey! Hey! Stop them!
Keka! Chaka!
Keka!
I think he understands why we stopped.
All right, fan out. Cover them.
Chaka!
Daniel: Chaka, no!
(Weapon fires)
A cha'aka.
We're all clear, sir. Teal'c is dialing the gate.
We should hurry. There might be more men coming.
Chaka.
Daniel: Come on. We're taking you home.
No na.
No na.Home.
Aka.
No na.
Ko! Aka! Kek!
We did all this to save you.
Aka. Kek.
I don'tthink he ever intended to come with us.
Ska nat.
(Speaking alien language)
He thought he was helping us escape.
So, what does he want to do?
Stay and fight and free the others.
Daniel, we didn't come here to arm them.
They did that themselves.
And I don'tthink we're gonna stop them.
Ka kek.
Ska ka kek.
A cha'aka.
You just sentthem out to start a war.
No, it was his choice.
I told him they didn't have to kill.
Do you think he understands that?
They know what freedom is,
andthey're willing to fight for it.
They deserve a chance.
