(Davis): Unscheduled off—world activation.
(Alarm sounds)
It's sg—1's idc, sir.
Receiving audio, sir.
On speaker.
(O'Neill): Close ouarters withdrawal.
It's going to get ugly.
Acknowledged, colonel.
We'll be ready. Just give us the word.
Watch your friendlies.
Safeties off. Clean targets.
Clean backgrounds.
(Explosions)
( O'Neill): Teal'c, let's go!
Base, this is it. We're on our way.
Open the Iris.
Teal'c's right behind us!
( Hammond): Clear!
(Teal'c falls)
Med team, get in there!
Teal'c?
Come on.
I'm not getting a pulse.
Start cpr.
Give me one milligram epi.
Prepare to intu bate.
You had us all very worried.
That was not my intention.
The staff blast hit you directly in the symbiote pouch.
If you weren't on tretonin...
I would be dead.
Ironic.
Well, you're not out of the woods yet.
Woods?
You have more healing to do.
The staff blast passed th rough the empty symbiote pouch
and did some damage to your spine
and surrounding soft tissue.
In the past, I could have let your symbiote
regen erate the damage.
With work, you should be able to make a full recovery.
Teal'c?
That Jaffa that wounded me...
Died.
His symbiote was damaged beyond repair.
Look, I know this is hard for you,
but you're very lucky to be alive.
Colonel O'Neill planted my radio
in the underbrush, away from our position,
and began broadcasting to create a distraction.
The Jaffa fell for this diversion
and half of them left the temple.
We engaged the rest and escaped.
Were you able to ascertain who these Jaffa were loyal to?
The forehead tattoos were that of
various system lords,
but the majority bore the symbol of ba'al.
Ba'al? His empire has expanded
further and faster than anyone could have expected,
which shouldn't be a surprise to us
since he now controls the combined forces
of the "united alliance of the system lords."
Something we're responsible for.
To level the playing field against Anubis.
So, in away, we did itto ourselves.
Sir...
How is he?
It's going to be a long road back,
certainly longer than Teal'c is used to,
but he should get there.
I've boosted his tretonin dosage
to stem off any residual infection.
Can we see him? Yeah.
My son?
Why do you ask?
Oh, I don't know. I justthought
you'd be sick of, "how you feeling" again.
Indeed.
No, I was justthinking about him recently.
Ry'ac is with bra'tac.
They are attempting to recruit rebel Jaffa.
I have not heard from them and do not expectto for some time.
What's with the...
O'Neill.
I believe his offering of colored gelatin
was his attempt to sympathize.
Ah, well, h e's thoughtful that way.
There's no need.
I blame only myself.
How was it you r fau lt?
I fell behind.
I was—...
Covering us.
Teal'c?
I wish to be alone,
Daniel Jackson.
Okay.
(Voice): No, master!
So they fly halfway across the galaxy
in an highly—advanced spaceship,
butthey don't use their technology to take over the planet.
You know whattheirweakness turned outto be?
Water.
I mean, if that's true, why go to all the trouble
to invade a planet that's two—thirds water?
Not to mention the rain.
Why do you watch those movies if all you're going to do is cutthem up?
Come on, don't you occasionally like to see
if they're getting it anywhere close to right?
Hello?
What?
You okay?
Ever feel like you've forgotten something
really important?
What do you mean?
Well, I can remember almost everything
from before I died,
but I still can't remember anything from when iwas ascended.
Lately, something's been nagging at me, I guess.
Something specific. I just can't pin it down.
Very good, Teal'c.
Okay, you're done.
Teal'c?
Looks like you're doing better.
You know, there is such athing as over—doing it.
Yeah, Teal'c, it is possible to aggravate your condition by pushing too hard.
Leave me be.
(Voice): No! Master!
Daniel?
Any technical anomalies during an incoming wormhole are noted in this box
andthen cross—referenced and detailed here.
It's pretty dry.
The corresponding mission files cover any general points of interest.
Yeah, I've been over those.
Well, if I knew what you were looking for—...
You wouldn't be doing this.
What makes you think the answer is here?
I just have this feeling
it has something to do with an incoming wormhole.
I was hoping that looking at some of this stuff
might jog my memory somehow.
It must be tough.
Ithinkthe hardest part is not knowing whether or not
I chose to be here like this.
You know,
whether I could be doing more good if I was still...
Ascended?
Yeah.
Well, this should be everything that you need.
Good luck.
Thanks.
Well, that's the last of the physical examination.
You have just lifted, pushed and pulled
more weightthan anyone on this base ever has.
Alien technology not withstanding.
Teal'c...
I'm clearing you for active duty.
I am not ready.
Still nothing?
Well, I've broadened my search to any gate activity
including outgoing wormholes and unauthorized activations.
I still have no idea what I'm looking for.
Maybe if you stop thinking about it,
it'll come to you.
Take a break.
Fraiser says Teal'c needs a little pep talk.
I've been practicing in front of a mirror for an hour.
Not peppy enough?
Not really.
Don't give me the eyebrow.
Look, Teal'c, something's bothering you.
Something's been bothering you since before this injury.
We're pretty sure we know what it is.
Then there is no mystery.
Yeah, but the point is you have to talk about it.
Okay, you don't have to talk about it,
butyou'll feel better if you do.
You know, forget that crap.
I'm your commanding officer.
And you must be kept informed
of the fitness of all those under your command.
Fraiser says you're ready for duty now.
Is that true?
I have been dishonest with you.
Oh?
It is unacceptable.
All Jaffa children know this without being told.
They are born with the knowledge.
It will not be tolerated.
What?
Kek.
Death. Death. You mean "death"?
Weakness.
We use one word for both.
For if one is weak, one may as well be dead.
You're talking about the tretonin.
In the beginning, I believed itto be the answer
of liberation for all Jaffa from the Goa'uld
and the reliance on symbiotes.
But as soon as I began to take it, things changed.
I felt my capability was being compromised,
buti said nothing,
hoping the effects were only temporary,
and my strength would return.
It did not.
Okay.
Forgive me, O'Neill, I should have—...
No.
There's nothing to forgive.
You're still...
Twice as strong as I'll ever be,
and you've got two good kn ees.
Then the answer to your question is "no."
I do not feel that I am fit for duty.
Okay.
I can accept that...
For now.
Yeah, you're right. Not exactly peppy.
Oh, what did you want me to say to the guy?
Well, he's lost his confidence.
I think he was looking for you to reinstill some.
Well, if he really has lost his mojo,
there's nothing I can say that's going to get it back for him.
It's all in his head.
If he doesn'tthink he's ready, he's not ready.
(Teal'c ): Without a symbiote, kelnoreem is unnecessary.
In fact, I have discontinued the practice.
Yeah, I know you don't actually need to kelnoreem anymore,
but... just indulge me. See, humans sometimes meditate
even though they still reouire rem sleep,
I really thinkthis thing I can't remember what it is—— Daniel Jackson.
For a successful kelnoreem,
there is one element required above all others.
What?
Silence.
Right.
(Voice): No! Master!
Master, no!
Master! No, master!
Kree, hasshak.
Leave him alone.
No!
Master!
Master, no!
Master. No, master!
Ry'ac?
Yeah.
Yeah, I saw him and bra'tac.
Ithinkthey're in danger.
Are you familiar with the ambush of kresh'taa?
Yeah, the meeting of the Jaffa rebel tribes?
I read the report.
106 warriors slaughtered, only you and bra'tac survived.
You sustained both your lives
by passing a symbiote between the two of you.
There is something that is not in the report.
As I lay near death, I began to dream.
You used your abilities and appeared to me in that dream.
I did?
Indeed.
When I had sufficiently recovered,
you appeared to me again,
andthat is when I knew.
You had stayed with me and watched over me
for three days,
and that is the reason
I am eternally grateful to you, Daniel Jackson,
and why I whole—heartedly believe you concerning ry'ac.
So you believe me, too?
The things I've heard sitting in this chair...
If this happened before you retook human form,
then whatever supply of tretonin bra'tac had
would almost surely be depleted by now.
That is why we must act immediately.
Daniel, you said you thought all this
had to do with gate records
perhaps you innately knew to look for a location.
I've been th rough those records upside down and backwards.
I still haven't found anything.
Teal'c, is there anything familiar
about the plan et Daniel described?
There is not.
General Hammond,
I request that we send for rak'nor immediately.
Do it.
(Carter ): Yes, sir.
You grow more and more weak each day.
You worry too much for me, ry'ac.
Tend to your own labor.
A kek hasshak.
Ya duru!
If you do not work...
You will die.
They do not work hard enough.
No rescue is forthcoming,
and your supply of tretonin runs low.
Ry'ac...
Kreeka!
We will not be able to maintain our workload.
They will execute us next!
Kree!
Have faith.
I will ration my tretonin,
until a rescue.
Kek.
Shaaaaaal vak.
Is any of this familiar to you?
A planet with two moons.
A naquada refinery
near some kind of anti—gravity dry—dock,
with a mothership under construction.
I know the planet of which you describe...
Erebus.
According to Greek mythology,
erebus is a place where condemned souls
pass as soon as they die.
Then it is aptly named.
The planet is used for the construction of ha'tak vessels
and the purification of the naquada to build them.
Only Jaffa prisoner labor is used,
as only they can withstand the intense heat and toxic gases
of the blast furnaces
fed by underground volcanic systems.
Eventually, even the Jaffa succumb.
I am aware of such places,
where Jaffa prison ers of war,
unwilling to serve their new Goa'uld masters,
are taken to be worked to death.
Which should make it a perfect place to recruit rebels,
but something must have gone wrong.
The planet was recently taken by ba'al.
If bra'tac and ry'ac were in the camp when ba'al's forces arrived,
perhaps they were trapped.
Then they are lost.
Why?
The Stargate on erebus is impenetrable.
How so?
A force field, much like your Iris,
blocks the erebus Stargate,
making attack or rescue through it impossible.
Someone must get through it somehow.
We believe a signal must be used to power down the force field,
but we have no way of knowing whatthat signal is.
Now!
I was there. I saw the whole thing happen.
Nothing I could do. Just watch.
Powerless to interfere.
Come on. It has to be there.
Just give me a minute.
I knew it had something to do with gate records,
I just never thought of checking the alphasite gate records.
Here.
A coded energy signal was received and recorded
through the alphasite gate 3 months ago.
It was analyzed, but no one was able to determine
its origin or its purpose.
That is the force field deactivation code I saw bra'tac send
right before he was captured.
(Carter): Are you sure? (Jackson): I'm sure.
(Carter): I can synthesize this energy signature.
If it is the deactivation code, I can get us through the gate.
And I can provide details of their defenses and the lay of the land.
O'Neill...
I musttell you thati believe I may be a liability on this mission.
I don't.
If I should die,
it is my wish that you watch over ry'ac.
Well, let's see it doesn't come to that, all right?
Chevron six encoding.
It's his son.
Chevron seven, locked.
All right, let's do this.
Sending signal now.
Clear.
Okay, so that happened.
Sg—3, secure these guys
andthen establish your perimeter.
Daniel...
Master bra'tac.
It is difficult to ration that which you do not have.
If only you had not seen.
I have seen.
Now, tell me the truth.
I'm not a child.
The tretonin is gone.
Then you will die,
and all your words of faith will have been for nothing.
No, ry'ac!
Not for nothing, for you.
You might survive.
How long can you live without tretonin?
As long as I have to.
Penhall...
Trade. Give me that thing.
No sign of bra'tac.
Wait a minute. I've got ry'ac.
If we eliminate that guard position,
we can create a blind spot.
Infiltration is the best option, O'Neill.
All right. It'll be dark in a hour.
Everybody, get comfortable.
All right, they're in.
(Commander): Jaffa hol!
Kal vak!
Come on, come on.
Rin nok!
What's this?
He's dressing that warrior down.
"I do the bidding of ba'al, shut up."
Shut up?
Yeah, I'm paraphrasing.
Kel mar tokeem.
Tel mak kree.
Meg tal.
You're poisoned,
you're cursed by the wearer of horns,
you're sloppy.
Oracca aseemu!
Oh, for crying out loud.
Hol Mel!
Dammit.
Ithinkthey've been made.
Just hold on.
Ry'ac. Fath er.
I am sorry.
Master bra'tac said you would come,
buti did not believe.
How is he?
He still lives, but I fear not for long.
Tek'matte.
Old friend...
Rak'nor.
Tek'matte, master bra'tac.
(Teal'c ): There is enough for both of us.
You cannot hide here for long.
It will take too much time
for him to regain his strength to walk.
Then we will carry him.
We have come to take you and bra'tac away from this place.
What about them?
What about all the others?
There are too many.
They can fight.
Andthey will die.
If they stay, they will die.
Teal'c, you've been made.
Get out of there.
Get out of there!
Teal'c
Kree chok!
Hold your fire. Hold your fire.
(Jaffa shouting orders)
(Whip lashing)
Sir?
Just hold your position.
We're just going to sit here?
Yes! We've just got to sit here,
until we can find another way in.
Ry'ac...
You are still alive?
Yes, father.
That is all that matters.
What of bra'tac?
The tretonin has helped.
What of you, father?
Can you walk?
Not at the moment.
You must.
Those who cannot work are killed.
You must not lose your faith, ry'ac.
Rak'nor and I did not come alone.
Even now, a rescue is underway.
Search patrol went off in that direction
heading for the Stargate.
They don't believe Teal'c and rak'nor
were working alone.
This is my fault.
How's that? Because I should have done something
when I had the chance.
When I had the power.
I think we've already established
that wouldn't have worked out either.
No, it's time for plan b.
We have a plan b?
No, but it's time for one.
We've already determined
there are too many guards for us
to take out the whole camp with our current numbers.
We need a distraction.
Grenades?
Think bigger.
Claymores?
Much bigger.
Major, target trp—I.
His strength still grows.
Good.
Ry'ac...
You and rak'nor must spread the word.
If we wish for our rescue to be successful,
the others must be prepared to fight.
How will they know when?
When the time is right, they will know.
Indeed.
Can you fight?
I am notthe Jaffa I once was.
No.
Ry'ac...
No, you are Teal'c.
There is no greater warrior.
Ry'ac...
I am...
Weak.
Father, please... ry'ac!
No matter what...
You must survive.
You must survive...
Or I have come for nothing.
Now go.
Once this panel goes, it'll only take a few seconds
for the entire anti—gravity platform to shut down.
It has been difficu lt...
For both of us.
You are feeling better.
You will not be rid of me so easily.
When the time comes, iwill be ready, old friend.
As will I.
I am not so sure.
This tretonin seems to have had an effect
on your memory.
Why would you say such athing?
Because you have forgotten that a warrior's true strength
comes from his heart and his mind.
You have had a physical advantage over me
for a long time,
and yet, I have never lost a sparring match to you.
Because for years, old man,
I have letyou win.
Better.
Much better.
This could be a problem.
This is notyour work station.
Take him.
If you do not work, then you will die!
This one does not know where his work station is.
But he is young and still able to work!
You dare to speak to me?
Only to ask that I take his place.
So be it.
No.
No!
(Commander ): You are barely able to stand.
You would not have lasted another day.
It was a good trade.
(O'Neill): Carter, what's the hold up?
We're a go in 30 seconds, sir.
Assume we do not have
you were once the first prime of apophis,
and now you're nothing but a weak, path etic sholva.
( Bra'tac ): Do not look away.
Be strong for him.
What better way for Teal'c to die
than to be looking upon the face of his son.
(Horn sounding alarm)
Kree!
Trey lon tonok!
Fire!
Take them now!
Come on boys, have atthem!
Wait.
Father!
Welcome back, sg—I.
The camp has been liberated, sir.
All the prisoners relocated to the alphasite.
They are anxious to join the rebellion.
Then my mission has been a success.
Hammond, of Texas,
I find myself once more in your debt.
I think it's Dr. Jackson you owe on this one.
Indeed.
Kelnoreem is unnecessary,
although it does make me feel...
Better.
Colonel O'Neill has officially informed me that...
I have my..."Mojo" back.
I guess I should be thanking you.
Actually.
You see, I used to feel like I didn't belong...
Anywhere, really.
I think I thoughtthat this whole ascension thing
would change that,
and now I'm realizing
that the sacrifices were far too great,
and my life here is too important to just leave behind
I guess what I'm trying to say is that,
for the firsttime in my life
I feel like I'm a part of something.
Something important.
As do I.
