Previously on Stargate sg—1
(malek): 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.
(O'Neill): Does somebody
want to tell me what's going on here?
It's history.
For 2,000 years,
every time atok'ra died at the end of a staff weapon,
a Jaffa was holding it.
(Jacob): This was obviously intended
to be a new form of foot soldier.
I serve Anubis.
(Carter): 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,
(selmak ): 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.
Ican'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 unityou'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.
(Alarm )
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.
(O'Neill ): 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 broughtthe gate there in atok'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 th rough, 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 man ually.
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 preventthe 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.
(Twigs snapping)
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.
( Reynolds): O'Neill?
Go ahead.
We found
butthey'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.
(O'Neill): Sg—3's going to need a little help
to getthe 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.
(O'Neill ): Jacob!
(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 outthere.
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 knowthatthing survived as well.
What aboutthe 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 factthat 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.
Bythe 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 th rew at them,
and they just kept coming.
So colonel Riley ordered the self—destruct?
He knewthere 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 dron e.
Yeah.
Do you believe this prototype weapon
will be effective against it?
We'lljump 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 down load the weapon design
into the matrix crystal
and wipe the computer memory.
You have the prototype!
We can't leave this information
for them 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
thatthe leader of the Jaffa survivors
is cleared for debriefing.
I want to speakto 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 th e 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 leftthe 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 captu red 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,
iwas 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 go to the beta site
to speakto the other survivors,
I may be able to discover
what happened to the Jaffa we sent.
Very well.
(Hammond): Colonel O'Neill?
General.
Status report.
We foun d 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.
( Footsteps approaching)
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.
Unschedu led offworld activation.
Did you learn anything at the beta site?
Of the Jaffa sentto 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 sentto recruit rebels
from olokun's armies
didn't return.
Because they were captu red in Anubis's latest offensive.
It's the most logical explanation.
According to the Jaffa, a tok'ra spy was also captu red.
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
atthis presenttime.
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.
Butthe 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?
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 itold 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 iwas 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 rightto know.
We knew you would feel that way,
which is precisely why you were not informed.
So delek admits
thatthis 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 thatthe 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.
The truth is,
I don'tthink 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 getthe 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.
(Aircraft approaching)
O'Neill?
Go ahead.
The uav has been shot down
in your area.
It's four klicks away
on a heading of th ree—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 to put a stop to it
before it gets out of hand.
You're a leader amongst the Jaffa.
Th ey'll listen to you.
And what would you have me say?
That th ey 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 firsttime,
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 tog eth er 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 suspectthat 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
the tok'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 rightto 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.
(Gravel shifting)
Carter, I need th e—...
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 congratu late 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 consultyou
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 whatto 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 outthere
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.
Jack told 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 th e tok'ra,
I can at least try to mend some fences.
Are you sure?
I'm not ready to give up on this justyet.
Don't worry, I'll be back eventually.
I'll miss you.
I'll miss you, too.
