Sir, if you don't mind
I've got a couple questions.
Talk fast.
Well, do we have any idea
how the Goa'uld escaped from the sgc?
None whatsoever.
What about weapons?
Do we know what we might be facing in there?
Not a clue. Anything else?
Sorry, sir. I'm just trying to assess the situation.
Two of my team members were chasing a Goa'uld.
They've been missing
that's the situation.
This building was the last known location
of major Carter and Daniel Jackson.
All right, Elliot, have your team secure the perimeter.
Keep your channel open. Teal'c, you're with me.
Sir? We're not going in with you?
Have your team secure the perimeter.
Do you understand the order?
Yes, sir!
Then do it, lieutenant!
Grogan, satterfield!
Swing around and cover the other side of the building.
Yes, sir.
Hailey, you're with me.
(Gunshots)
Hold position.
They're taking fire!
Grogan, stay where you are. I mean it.
O'Neill on radio: Backup! Elliot, get off the channel.
I say again, we need backup!
Ok. Move in! Move in!
Drop your weapon, major!
Carter: Daniel's become a Goa'uld.
She's the Goa'uld. Listen to her voice.
Major! Drop that weapon!
Carter: I'm tok'ra. Now listen carefully.
Daniel has become a Goa'uld.
We need to get him back to the sgc.
Lieutenant, she's already shot me
once with thatthing. If she shoots me again—...
Drop it, major, now!
Grogan, whatthe hell was that?
She was gonna shoot Dr. Jackson, lieutenant.
Two shots from a zat kills.
Jackson: That's true, but you're wrong about one thing:
(Goa'uld voice) She's the tok'ra. I'm the Goa'uld.
O'Neill: Ok!
So...
We're all dead
and there's an armed Goa'uld on the loose.
I got a problem with that.
Anybody else got a problem with that?
Think it over.
Report to the ready line in 20 minutes.
Dismissed.
Move!
(Goa'uld voice) Aren't you being a little hard on them?
Would you turn thatthing off?
Sorry.
And no, iwasn't being too hard on them.
You hesitated, lieutenant.
I was assessing the situation, sir.
Ok, we all ended up dead.
Assess that.
I stopped to argue with grogan
and lost control of the situation.
Andthat wasn't even your first mistake!
What's your excuse?
I didn't believe Dr. Jackson was the Goa'uld.
Why not, satterfield?
I don't know, ma'am. That was just my instinct.
She thinks he's cute.
You let your personal feelings for the host—...
In this case, Dr. Jackson and myself—...
Get in the way of what needed to be done.
Yes, ma'am.
Hailey?
I was awaiting lieutenant Elliot's order, ma'am.
To do what?
Shootthem both.
If you don't know who's Goa'uld and who's tok—ra,
disable them by whatever means necessary
and sort it out later.
Thank you!
That was your mistake.
It's not always one or the other.
I understand that, sir.
May I ask how you and Teal'c were taken out?
It was part of the scenario.
I don't buy it, sir.
Excuse me?
You're special ops trained,
Teal'c is a former first prime.
There's no way you'd allow yourself to be
taken out in that situation.
We were taken by surprise.
Then you wouldn't have been able to call for backup
there had to be something else going on.
And that's why you hesitated.
Yes, sir.
Ok, so one of your team members
distracted you into getting shot by the enemy,
and you want to poke holes in the training scenario?
It wasn't a fair test.
There's such athing as
over—thinking a situation, lieutenant.
When you're dealing with what we deal with,
you've gotto think on your feet andthink fast!
These, and other cliches,
will be available to you all
for one more day of training with me.
After that, you'll either be
assigned to an sg team... Or not.
Dismissed.
You realize he's right about the scenario, sir.
Yeah, we'll have to fix that for nexttime.
See you at the garage.
Yes, sir. Good luck with them.
Colonel!
Something on your mind, lieutenant?
I wanted to apologize
for the attitude I gave you back there.
I like people with attitude.
In fact, I might prefer them
to people who suck up
that's not what I was doing, sir.
You want my approval? You're a fine officer.
The air force has already decided that
or you wouldn't be here.
But not everyone is cut out to go off—world.
I am.
You don't decide that.
What I'm trying to say, sir, is that
I feel like I've trained for this program my whole life.
I don't intend to let it slip by.
See that you don't.
Grogan: Maybe he's not on our side.
Either that, or he just doesn't like you.
Oh, but he loves you.
I don'tthink he likes anybody.
Hailey: You're wrong about that.
He'd do anything for his team.
How do you know?
I saw him in action. He put his life on the line for us.
Yeah, tell us again, Hailey.
There may be some detail you
left out the last 10 times.
Hey, nobody gets assigned to an sg team
without the recommendation of an sg team commander.
It just so happened to be colonel O'Neill's turn,
and I for one don't have a problem with that.
Why not?
It means if we get chosen, we were chosen by the best.
What happens if we don't?
Then let's all decide right here, right now.
We all make it, together.
Like the man said, it's not up to us.
You're wrong about that, too.
I'm going for a run. Who's in?
I'm in.
All right.
Late r.
Colonel! Thought you'd have gone home for the night.
I thought about it.
But I wanted to finish up these training reports.
What do you think of lieutenant Elliot?
He... thinks too much,
which makes him indecisive.
He's trying to figure out what I want
instead of trusting his instincts.
Or... he's very intelligent,
recognizes the whole point of this training program
is to introduce nonterrestrial factors
in our approach to a problem,
and he respects you more than you know.
You bought his excuse for hesitating, didn't you?
Well, he was right.
You would never have let it happen.
I think he was giving you the benefit of the doubt.
I think he was tap—dancing.
Well, you have to admit he's got leadership potential.
Do I?
Grogan. He'll make a fine addition
to an sg team one day.
He'll make a fine target.
He's good at getting shot.
Ok. Satterfield's bright.
I gave her high marks for her... high marks,
but I'd never go into combat with her.
Then there's Hailey.
Oh, yeah. 4—foot—9 fighting machine.
Colonel...
All right, fine, they're the future of the air force,
the program, the entire planet——god help us.
Well, try to remember when you were in their shoes.
I wore boots.
Think back to when you were their age.
I was never their age.
Good night, sir.
What?
Inside that building is avaluable piece
of alien technology.
Two things stand in your way——opposing fire, andtime.
The Stargate will only be open for another 12 minutes
and it's a half a mile away. Is that clear?
Elliot: Yes, sir!
O'Neill: Conduct yourselves
as though this were the real thing!
The clock starts... now!
Move 'em out, lieutenant!
Sir! Two—by—two advance! Go!
Io o'clock! Second level!
Yeah, sure, he's on our side.
Grogan, you're with me!
Hailey, satterfield, cover fire! Now!
He broke contact.
(Groaning)
What the hell was that?
Colonel's got his int'ar on Max.
We've got to keep moving. Can you get out on your own?
Yeah, ithink so.
We've got 7 minutes.
We'll need 3 to get to the gate
at a dead run. Let's go.
Hailey: I'm picking up some sort of radiation.
Here.
(Mechanical buzzing)
Elliot: All right, what do we got this time?
Could be some sort of Goa'uld power source.
Ok, Hailey, wrap it up we don't have a lot of time.
Yes, sir.
Whoa!
Damn it. What?
Booby trap
it's counting down in Goa'uld.
How much time?
90 seconds.
I can try to disarm it.
There's not enough time.
Well, what do you want me to do?
Where is it?
We couldn't get the device, sir.
It was booby—trapped.
Really?
5 seconds.
Did you try to disarm the device?
Negative, sir. We only had 90 seconds.
90 seconds.
Could you have disabled the device in 90 seconds?
I supported lieutenant Elliot's decision
to pull out, sir.
I don't care if you support him or not!
Could you have disarmed the device?
Possibly.
I putthe lives of my team members first, sir.
Really? Where's grogan?
I ordered him to get out.
Did you see him get out?
No, sir.
Grogan was just killed in that explosion.
He should've been out here by now.
You left one of your team members behind.
That is one thing I will not tolerate, lieutenant!
(Cell phone rings)
O'Neill.
Saved by the cell.
Sorry. The colonel shot me again. How we do?
You were killed in the explosion.
And iwashed out.
You don't know that.
Guys, something's going on.
Sierra Gulf niner. Code foxtrot, Alpha 6.
Maybe he's ordering our execution.
Shut up
confirmed. Foothold Sierra Gulf Charlie.
Understood. Out.
Training's over.
What?
I said, training's over.
Go home until someone from the air force contacts you.
Sir, ithinkwe deserve to know—...
Damn it, Elliot! What am I gonna have to do?
Wait here.
He said "Sierra Gulf Charlie."
Stargate command.
He also said the word "foothold."
Alien incursion.
Lieutenant.
Everybody set their int'ars to maximum.
Those are our guys!
Do it, grogan.
We have to help him!
Hold your position.
O'Neill: You're all dismissed!
Colonel, you're injured. Satterfield!
Stay tog eth er as long as you can.
Don't trust anybody until I contact you.
You're injured. You're gonna need help
this is not an exercise.
No, sir, it's a foothold situation.
And from what we just saw, it's already
reached outside of the sgc.
You need our help.
Forgive my bluntness, lieutenant,
but I was just about to fail you.
I'm not sure I wantyour help!
I can't speak to that, sir.
But at the moment, we're all you've got.
God help me.
Elliot: What's our first objective
once we make it down?
Armory. Then what?
Then we look for major Carter, if she's still alive.
She's the one who got the word out.
What happens if they change the access codes?
Tear gas.
(Beeping)
Clear.
Lieutenant, take point.
Carter's lab's on sublevel 19.
Yes, sir.
Sir, ithought we weren't authorized
to use lethal force.
I want you all to have backup just in case.
Teal'c: Major Carter has escaped custody.
You will search sublevels
until she is located.
Daniel Jackson...
General Hammond has been captured by my forces
and he isthe last to be conformed.
I have dispatched units to locate major Carter.
She will be putto death as you have ordered.
Gather up any other weapons you can find
and lock them up somewhere.
Grogan: We could use them.
You've got enough int'ar rounds to take out
everybody in the mountain
plus your backup weapons.
Ithinki found something.
All right. This is a problem.
The gate is active, sir.
Can we shut it down from here?
Not a chance—— The dialing computer's
isolated from the base mainframe.
Then that's our first order of business.
Looks like their leader is Dr. Jackson.
I always knew he wanted that office.
What is that?
It's not our normal centerpiece.
Ok, so he's just possessed by something.
We gotta save him.
Hailey, can you get me a closer view of that?
I'll try.
I can't make out the writing.
Maybe Dr. Jackson took photos.
Check out his office, one level up.
Grogan, make sure she gets there.
Report when you've got something.
Yes, sir.
Hailey, you and I'll shut down the gate.
O'Neill, groaning: Let's move out. Aah!
Sir, you're in no shape to do this.
I've been worse.
We can handle this, sir.
You're no good to us if you're dead.
Stay on channel 12.
This gets you anywhere on the base.
Remember, those are our people outthere.
We'll get them back, sir.
Yeah.
Damn.
Oh, wrong turn.
We're not here on the tour, satterfield.
Right.
Aah!
I didn't have a choice.
You did the right thing.
I——I've never—...
Hailey, let's get him out of sight.
I've got it.
Lieutenant, satterfield.
What've you got?
Satterfield: I found photos of the device
that reveal an obscure dialect sg—I found
on the planet argos p3x—8596.
Rough translation: "Gift from on high."
I think we're looking at a Goa'uld trojan horse.
Colonel, are you reading this?
O'Neill: Yeah, I read you. That's enough chatter, huh?
The Goa'uld pelops used nanotechnology
to rapidly age the people on argos.
Well, let's get a blood sample
from one of the s.F.'S.
First, we shut down the gate.
(Phone)
O'Neill.
Yeah, I got 'em.
Elliot, get out of there! That's an order.
Colonel, we're at the gate room.
Pull back to my position.
Yes, sir.
Hailey: Oh, my god. This blood is teeming with nanobots.
The nanobots must somehow rewire the brain
and make people responsive to the suggestions
from the alien device that we saw in the briefing room.
So the nanobots work togeth er
as some kind of receiver?
Well, that's how they worked on argos. Right, colonel?
I was 100 years old at the time.
The memory's the first to go.
Maybe we can find out how they communicate
with the master, and shut it down.
There are no analog or digital signals being transmitted.
Then we need to shut down the device
in the briefing room.
That level's heavily guarded.
We still need to get control of the Stargate.
If we take out the briefing room at the same time,
you'll have a better chance to get into the gate room
and lock out the dialing computer.
That's the plan, then.
Take corridor c—19.
Sir.
They're on their way.
Major Carter.
What are you doing here?
Just helping out, ma'am.
Satterfield, check the major for weapons.
Grogan: She was captured by the aliens, lieutenant.
We can't trust h er.
I escaped. Where's colonel O'Neill?
We'll take you to him.
Satterfield: She's clear.
This way, please.
Colonel.
I was about to interrogate the prisoner.
No. You weren't.
Uhh!
Step away from the prisoner, please, colonel.
Colonel O'Neill's obviously been compromised.
I'll take it from here.
Lieutenant, you've only been gone for two minutes.
There's no way in that time—...
You saw what he was doing.
Why'd you pull us out of the gate room, sir?
It was an ambush, a trap
I don't buy it, sir.
Look, I am your commanding officer—...
Aah!
Return satterfield's weapon, please, major.
We've got a job to do.
How did you know you could trust me?
Hailey figured the Goa'uld markers in your blood
wouldn't allow you to be influenced
by goa'uld—designed nanotechnology.
Lucky me.
Yes, ma'am.
I need to stay here to work on a cure.
Can you take out the device on your own?
Yes, ma'am.
You'll also need to shut—...
Shut down the Stargate.
Yes, ma'am. We're on it.
Good luck, lieutenant.
Whoops.
Everybody clear on your assignments?
Yeah. Yes, sir.
Grogan, just make sure you take out Daniel.
It's done.
"Colonel O'Neill has been compromised?"
They didn'ttake corridor c—19 like you told them to.
Crafty little buggers.
At least we pulled it off.
Yeah.
Ow! God!
Well, you did order them to set their training weapons
to maximum stun.
Yes, I did, but that was only because
Daniel's had it so easy on this one.
Is everybody upstairs?
General Hammond and the Pentagon staff are monitoring
from the security office on level 16.
All right, good.
Uh, sir, if you don't mind,
your wound is getting all over my lab.
Mmm, sorry.
Same wager as last time, George?
Well, that's hardly fair.
These young people are against sg—I.
I'll give you double or nothing.
Well, in that case, how can I refuse?
(Ch uckling) You never could.
So, how's the pilottraining program coming along so far?
Latest batch of graduates working out?
We believe they're faring better
than new team members in the past.
Makes sense——up to this point we've only been
training our people to defendthis country.
Nowthat we're in the business of defending the planet...
That's exactly right.
In fact, in next year's sgc budget I'm proposing
an off—world training facility.
It must drive everyone a little crazy
tying up several floors of sgc every few months
to run these scenarios.
My people are happy to cooperate.
Elliot certainly seems confident.
Top of his class in the academy.
You should have seen his face when itold him
about the special training he'd been handpicked for.
Ha ha! I can imagine.
They should be emerging
from the access shaft on sublevel 27.
It looks like th ey've split up, George.
Grogan just came out on sublevel 26.
Apparently, lieutenant Elliot is planning
on assaulting the briefing room
from several points of access.
(Door opens)
General, generals.
What do you think of their strategy so far, colonel?
Uh, it's hard to say.
I think he knows it's a test.
How's that?
Well, I pulled him out of the gate room
just as sg—3 was coming back.
What's with those marines anyway?
Don't they know we've got a scenario playing out here?
They were under heavy fire from a Goa'uld, colonel.
Well, if he knows it's an exercise, he won't show it.
However, he did appear to enjoy shooting me.
General: In light of sg—3's emergency,
maybe we should call off the exercise.
Hammond: I don'tthink so, general.
They all made it back.
Besides, Elliot's team's almost ready
to launch their attack on Dr. Jackson.
Oh, you know, I have to tell you,
I like this scenario way better than the last one.
Have you tried this chair?
This is like... Really comfortable.
Indeed I have not.
(Telephone rings)
Hello?
Have fun, Daniel.
Yeah, uh, you did tell them
to take me prisoner this time
and not shoot me, right?
Right?
Hello?
(Gunfire)
Dr. Jackson?
So sorry.
Rig the charge. I'll get grogan out of here.
Got it.
Elliot: Come on, let's go!
Ohh!
That hurt a little. Yeah.
Did we pull it off?
Almost.
15 seconds.
Elliot: Satterfield!
(Beeping)
Did you——?
I set it. Something's wrong.
Modeling Clay doesn't pack much of a punch, does it?
Hammond: We've been watching your every move
since your arrival, lieutenant.
Welcome to Stargate command.
Yes, sir.
You may have noticed I lied a little bit
about the foothold situation.
But you were shot.
So it appeared.
Hailey killed an s.F.
The s.F.'S you were fighting were using blank cartridges,
same as your backup weapons.
And you staged the whole thing when you shotthat general
back at the training complex?
Yep
Carter: It was important for us to know how you'd react
in a real—life situation
before you encountered one like it off—world.
You weren't a little bit suspicious, lieutenant?
No, sir.
How did we do?
The entire exercise was recorded, lieutenant,
and will be properly reviewed
before making a final assessment.
But I'm sure you did very well.
We kicked ass!
You got yourself shot again, grogan. Don't be so cocky.
Yeah, thanks for the rescue, by the way.
Where's lieutenant Hailey?
Hailey, report.
Hailey?
She must still be in the gate room.
Man on P.A.: Unscheduled off—world activation.
Hailey, evacuate the gate room!
(Alarm sounds)
Sir, I can't close the Iris.
There's radiation coming th rough the Stargate.
Sir, you have to order an evacuation of this level.
(Over pa.) This is Hammond.
All personnel evacuate level 28 immediately.
This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill.
Elliot: What about Hailey?
She's already dead.
What kind of radiation are we talking about?
Gamma. Probably from the Goa'uld
that sg—3 just barely got away from.
I'd like to know why in god's name
we were unable to close the Iris.
In the foothold test scenario, lieutenant Hailey
was trying to shut down gate control.
She must've found a way to take our controls offline.
She's very smart, sir.
Apparently.
We should head up to the security office on 16.
We can monitor the gate room from there.
I never thought she'd get around our command codes.
And the moment she did, we came under attack.
It's a worst—case scenario.
What are our options?
The only way to stop it is to man ually close the Iris.
But at these radiation levels, it would be suicide.
Hammond: Major?
My access card, sir.
There he is.
Lieutenant Elliot, this is general Hammond.
If you enter that gate room, you're going to be
killed by radiation poisoning.
Now, I am ordering you—...
(Alarm)
He's gonna get it closed.
That much radiation—...
He's already dead, isn't he?
Hailey's still alive! We need a medical team down here!
I say again, Hailey needs help in here!
You've gotto be kidding me.
You can put me down now, hero.
You were in on it?
How do you think I was able to show you nanobots
if they didn't really exist?
I'm gonna kill you.
You should've seen whatthey put me through.
(Door opens)
Sg teams require the commitment to go
above and beyond the call of duty.
You've just demonstrated that, lieutenant.
Yes, sir!
After a few days' rest,
you're to report back to the sgc
where you will be assigned to sg—I 7
under major Mansfield.
If you think I was tough on you...
What about the rest of the team?
Hammond: They will be assigned to sg teams
as positions become available down the road.
Butthe first assignment is yours.
Yes, sir.
Congratulations, son.
Good job.
Hey, you knew it was a test
when you shot me, right?
Well, maybe... suspected.
And you really think the test is over now?
