What the hell are you doing?
I was trying to park.
Did you ever hear of signaling, pal?
I did signal.
Listen, man, if you don't know how to drive,
maybe you should try staying off the damn road!
Maybe if you hadn't been tailgating me,
this wouldn't have happened.
You didn't just say that.
Look, man, I don't want any trouble.
Too late.
This is unlawful behavior.
Who the hell are you?
Collision procedure dictates
that you exchange insurance information
and, if necessary, notify the police.
What?
This gentleman did indeed signal,
which would indicate
that it was you who was at fault.
Pal, you better learn to mind your own damn business.
Ah!
Whoa.
I believe it will now be necessary
to notify the police.
Yeah...
Thanks.
Sir, uh...
Colonel Kendrick
from the office of special investigations
is here to see you.
Does he have an appointment? No, sir—...
You wouldn't return my phone calls, sir.
I was busy?
Didn't think it was important? Take your pick.
You know as well as I do there's been another incident.
When you petition ed the o.S.I.
To allow Teal'c to live off—base,
your request was approved under certain provisions.
These provisions have clearly been violated.
Oh, come on, colonel.
If you had saved earth from total annihilation
a couple of times,
and your the government told you you couldn't go out to play,
wouldn't you consider it
more a... guideline than a rule?
We all appreciate what Teal'c has done for us, sir,
on numerous occasions,
butthat doesn't change the fact that he's a liability,
and every day he's allowed to roam around in public
jeopardizes national security.
Oh, don't be so dramatic, dick.
It'll give you gas.
Well, either you take action
to ensure these provisions are met,
or the o.S.I. Will.
Hey.
Watch it.
I'll look into it.
Yes, sir.
H ey!
Daniel Jackson.
Just wanted to come by and see how you're settling in.
Please enter.
Wow...
I like what you're doing with the place.
Sort of, um, Jaffa chic with an east African flair.
I have discovered
there are many programs on television
which offer advice
in the area of home design and decoration.
I'm a little more into the history channel myself.
Can I offer you anything?
No, I'm fine.
Um, how's the fern doing?
I don't suppose you've tried talking to it.
I have not.
Perhaps you should tell me why you are here.
A guy just can't come by and visit his friend?
Yep, heard what happened the other day—...
Three k.O.S, first round.
O'Neill sentyou to speak with me.
No.
Y... yeah.
I broke no law.
I intervened to prevent a criminal activity
and was forced to defend myself.
You see, that's kind of the point.
There's no reason you shouldn't be allowed to live off—base,
especially when you're not carrying a symbiote anymore,
butyou're supposed to be keeping a low profile.
That is not always easy.
Yeah, I'm not just talking about the tattoo,
although I do see how that could be a problem.
I often cover it to avoid stares in public,
but I tell those who have seen it
that it is a tribal Mark from my homeland.
Yes, this is less about appearance
than it is about behavior.
Have I not conducted myself as atypical member of this community?
N——no. No, actually. No, you haven't.
Um, besides the other day, there was, uh,
the incident with the old man and the teenagers in the park.
There was that thing with the guy with the pit bull.
In each case,
I was only attempting to render assistance
where it was needed.
See, that's kind of the problem.
Normal human beings are a little more careful
about getting involved in business that isn't th eirs.
I know, that sounds bad,
but it's just the way it is,
and, um, you can't afford to be drawing attention to yourself.
I understand.
Excuse me.
Hi.
Krista.
Made you cookies.
Please come in.
I'm sorry.
I didn't realize you had company.
Krista James, this is Daniel Jackson.
Hi.
Krista lives in the apartment next door.
Wait a minute, Dr. Jackson?
You're the archaeologist who hiredteal'c
to come over from Mozambique.
That's right.
Well, then I should thank you.
It's been great having him here.
It's nice to have a man around who cares about his neighbors.
Actually, we were just talking about that.
In fact, that's why I'm here.
The cookies were a bribe.
My pipes are doing thatthing again.
Normally, I would be happy to provide assistance, however—...
No, no, no, no.
No, don't let me interrupt.
I've gotto be going anyway, so, um... it was very nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Uh, Teal'c, that other thing
we were talking about—— um...
Every rule has its exceptions.
Thanks.
So, how are things in the galaxy?
You know I can't talk about work.
Sorry. I'm still getting used to the fact
that my girlfriend's a superhero.
A bit of an exaggeration.
The "superhero" part or the "girlfriend" part?
You travel to other plan ets
to do battle with alien creatures
bent on galactic domination.
Just because you don't wear
a tight spandex outfit doesn't mean that you're not—...
Although... that's an idea you might want to consider.
Look... I know this is hard for you.
Any other guy would've just freaked out and run away.
You didn't run away when I stalked you.
Anyway, I just want you
to appreciate the position I'm in here.
I do, believe me,
and I'm really glad you stuck around.
Well, I'm glad to hear you say that...
'Cause I put in for atransfer to Colorado Springs pd.
Are you sure?
I've never been more sure of anything
in my entire life.
That's why I got you this.
Oh, my god.
I'm sorry to keep asking you to help with my plumbing,
but the super's never around,
and my boyfriend's not very handy.
There is no need to apologize.
Anyhow, you'll forgive me once you've tasted my lasagne.
I am looking forward to it.
Yo, t.
Greetings, Eric.
I saw you take out those three gorillas.
Nice work.
In retrospect, it may have been unwise to interven e.
Are you kidding? They deserved it.
Hey! Hey, stop that guy!
He's got my purse! Hey!
Aren't you going to do anything?
I must not intervene.
Uh, what?
You're just going to let him get away?
Oh, ho, ho! Man! What a shot!
How did you do that?
You the man, t!
Thank you!
That was amazing.
T, you are the man!
Got to give the man his props.
Krista.
Krista! Come on.
Krista!
Listen, listen.
Listen, just let me in.
Just let me in.
Doug, I have to work tomorrow.
So?
So you're drunk.
Just go home, please.
No, no, no, I ain't going nowhere.
Is there a problem?
Uh, this——this is a private conversation.
If it were private, you would not be conducting it in the hallway,
nor speaking so loudly.
It's all right, Mrs. Connors.
Just go back inside.
Do you require assistance?
No, I'm okay.
Wh——who the hell is this guy?
His name is Teal'c. He's my neighbor.
"Teal'c?"
And what kind of a crazy name is that?
He just moved here from Mozambique.
Oh. No doubt.
Krista has requested that you leave.
I suggest you comply.
You'd better check yourself before you get hurt.
I have checked.
I suggestyou leave before it is you that gets hurt.
Doug.
Go sober up
you know what?
I'm going to call you tomorrow.
I'm sorry about that.
I hate when he gets that way.
This is not the firsttime?
So you have stopped receiving him.
Not exactly...
He's not always like that.
Since he lost his job, he's just been...
You know.
I do not.
It's been hard on him.
And has it not been hard on you?
I'm fine.
I do not understand krista's behavior.
Yeah, that's a common problem.
Most cultures on earth recognize there's a significant gap
between the experiences of men and women.
Among the masai of east Africa,
each newlywed man is actually required
to wear his wife's clothing for a month
as way of gaining insight into her life.
If only it were that simple.
The point is, while rituals and customs may vary,
almost all cultures put significant pressure
on single adults to form bonding pairs.
In ancient persia,
if a girl died avirgin, they would go so far as to marry her corpse off
before burial.
That's horrible.
Uh, the groom was usually quite well—paid.
You know, it's bad enough being on your own
without every TV show and commercial and magazine ad
trying to tell you how abnormal it is.
I think that's what I just said.
They make you afraid of being alone,
but at the same time,
tell you notto settle for anything less
than this perfect romantic ideal,
like that actually exists
anywhere in the real world.
I mean, either way, you can't win.
How's things?
Good.
We were talking about Teal'c's friend, right?
I thought we were.
Teal'c, how do Jaffa couples handle their problems?
On chulak, a dispute between a man and a woman
that cannot be resolved necessitates a pledge break.
It must be requested by one
and granted by the other.
And if that doesn't work?
Aweapon is required.
Sorry, I don't want to interrupt you.
I just came out for a little air.
Are you all right?
I had another fight with Doug.
I told him it's over. I don't want to see him anymore.
Are you not happy with your decision?
I guess it was the rightthing to do,
but he's not a bad person.
He's just going through atough time.
You have no cause to feel guilty.
What was that you were just doing?
It is called lok'nel—...
An ancient form of martial arts training.
You think you could teach me?
Oh, hi.
You are late for your next training session.
Yeah, I meant to tell you...
I don'tthink I'm going to be able
to train with you anymore.
You have been making tremendous progress.
Well, I just don't have time, you know?
Has something transpired?
No, everything's fine.
Look, I've got to go.
You are injured.
It's nothing. Please.
Krista, who is it?
It's just my neighbor.
Oh yeah?
Oh.the plumber.
I'll handle this. Doug—...
I said I'll handle it.
Don'tthinki don't know what's been going on around here.
She told me everything.
Are you the one who injured her?
What goes on between me and krista,
it ain't none of your business.
If you ever injure her again,
iwill kill you where you stand.
Carter.
Sir?
I never thought I'd hear myself utter th ese words...
I need that report.
Right. Um... I——I just need to, uh...
Finish typing up my notes.
Uh, you know... I'll have it for you
first thing tomorrow.
It is tomorrow.
I'm joking.
I don't need the report.
Well, then why—— because something's going on with you.
You haven'ttried to confused me
with any scientific babble for the last couple of days,
andthat's a red flag to me.
Pete gave me this.
People normally wear these on their fingers.
I haven't said yes.
And yet you haven't said no.
I told him I needed to think about it.
And?
That was two weeks ago.
You know, all these years I've been concentrating on work,
ijust assumed that one day I would—...
Have a life?
Yeah.
But now it comes down to it, I don't know.
I mean, every time we go through the gate,
we risk not coming back.
Is it fair to put somebody else through that?
Pete is a cop ithink he could handle it.
What about kids?
What about them?
Do itake maternity leave, andthen come back?
What, do I drop the baby off at daycare
on my way to some unexplored planet
on the edge of the crab nebula?
Carter, there are people on this base who have families.
What about you?
If things had been different...
Iwouldn't be here.
Krista.
Hey. I was waiting for you.
Has something happened?
No, I'm fine.
It's just...
It's over with Doug.
For real this time.
I'm sorry about what happened before.
I need to get out of here.
I can't even think in this place.
Will you come with me?
Perhaps tomorrow—— No, now. Tonight.
We'll just get in the car
and drive.
We'll take the whole weekend.
It doesn't even matter where we end up...
As long as it's away from here.
Please?
Hey. What's, uh, what's going on?
General O'Neill just got off the phone
with colonel Kendrick.
Krista's boyfriend was found dead in her apartment.
What? What happened?
We don't have all the details yet,
but according to Kendrick,
preliminary evidence indicates
thatteal'c may have been responsible.
That's impossible.
That's what I said.
Unfortunately, we can't ask him about it,
because he's missing.
So's krista.
As of right now,
Teal'c is wanted for kidnapping and murder.
Thanks for getting me out of there.
I just couldn't be in that place tonight.
Where do you wish to go?
Just keep driving.
What? What is it?
I do not wish to alarm you,
buti believe that we are being followed.
Who would be following us?
Perhaps Doug.
No.
He doesn't know I'm gone yet.
Then they are most likely following me.
You?
Why would anyone be following you?
It is difficultto explain.
Can you lose them?
I believe so.
However, it will require me to violate posted speed limits
and several safe driving regulations.
I'm okay with it.
Hold on.
Don'ttell me you learned how to do that
back in your village.
There are aspects of my life
which I am not at Liberty to divulge.
What are you, a spy or something?
One thing's for sure—...
You're not really Dr. Jackson's research assistant.
That much I figured out after about 30 seconds.
Krista, I—...
It's okay.
For now, I'm just glad you're here.
Hey.
Thanks for meeting me.
No problem.
Pete, I'm sorry...
Buti need a little more time.
Look, you know how I feel about you.
It's just...
There's some things I need to work out.
Okay.
Anyway, that's not what this is about.
It's not? No.
Iwouldn't ask if it wasn't so important.
What's going on?
I need your help
Krista?
Freeze! Turn around.
Interlace your fingers behind your head.
Well, where is he being held?
He's in his old quarters.
Is he at least under guard?
He's not going anywhere.
He's a murder suspect.
You know, italked to him.
He said he didn't do it.
That's good enough for you, isn't it? Pretty much.
Well, unfortunately, you're not in charge
of this investigation.
Yeah.
He also said
he felt like he was being followed last night.
The o.S.I. Did not have Teal'c under surveillance.
Yeah.
How'd you find him?
We received a tip.
That didn't strike you as... odd?
I told you something like this might happen.
You flat—out ignored my warnings.
Not so much ignored as completely disregarded.
With all due respect, general,
I'm going to have to insist thatteal'c be placed in confinement immediately,
or iwill recommend that he be held elsewhere.
What the hell?
Dan Jackson.
Did you get my message?
Who is this?
The symbols, Dr. Jackson.
Do you recognize them?
Uh... I don't know who you thinkthis is—...
We need them translated into Goa'uld.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
We know it's the language of the ancients,
but the dialect is obscure.
You're the one man on earth
who can translate them.
Your friend Teal'c is in trouble.
How'd you know about that?
We can help him.
We've been watching him.
In fact, we saw the whole thing.
You witnessed the murder?
We've got it all on tape,
concrete evidence
that proves Teal'c's innocence,
and it's yours in exchange for the translation.
Of course, if you tell anyone,
we'll know, and the deal's off.
The investigator who checked the position of the body
concluded that the victim
was pinned and choked againstthis wall,
and then fell to the floor.
So?
So I'm not so sure.
The proximity of the body to the wall
supports that,
but the position of the body suggests otherwise.
What do you mean? If he fell into a slump,
his legs and arms would be bent,
but his legs were straight,
and his arms placed by his sides,
suggesting that the body was dragged here
and placed in this position.
Why move the body?
Dying against the wall
suggests that the victim was attacked
by somebody bigger and stronger.
Like Teal'c.
So it was a set—up
well, it's possible.
Now, you said that Teal'c thought he was being followed.
That's right.
The air force denies having him under surveillance.
Yeah.
If iwas staking out Teal'c's place...
That's where I would be.
Hello?
From this vantage point, you can easily see into both apartments.
Three indentations.
Tripod.
Unfortunately, ithink they cleaned the place up pretty good.
I doubtwe'll find anything.
So it's a dead end.
Not necessarily. Is there a pizza place nearby?
Why? One thing about a stake—out—...
You never eat healthy.
Dr. Jackson.
Keep walking.
You came alone. I'm impressed.
I like a man who can follow instructions.
Are you the one who called me?
It doesn't matter.
Have you completed the translation?
Yeah, see, that's why
I wanted to talk to you—— I need more time.
You're playing with your friend's life here, doctor.
I can't translate something unless I understand the context.
Where they were found, what they're for.
You think I'm stupid?
I'm not lying.
I can see we're going to have to do this the hard way.
What does that mean?
Either you give us the translation now...
Or I'll be forced to take this to the next level.
So, beyond kidnapping and murder...
We didn't kill the boyfriend.
But we'll kill the girl if we have to.
How do I know you even have her?
Come with me, and I'll show you.
Yeah, you know what? I've got a thing, so...
I have three snipers targeting your position
at this very moment, doctor.
You're bluffing.
Position one, take the coffee cup
so, are we going to take your car or mine,
or, uh, should I just follow you?
We checked a couple of pizza joints
and all—night delivery places near your apartment
to see if there had been any sudden repeat customers.
An interesting investigative method.
Yeah, I thought it was a little crazy at first, too,
but we actually got a lead at one place.
The owner reported a Caucasian male
who'd been in half a dozen times during the last two weeks.
Is that unusual?
Not necessarily, but we thought it was worth checking out.
We got a license plate from the security camera out front,
and we're running it down.
O'Neill.
Kendrick is finally convinced something else is going on here.
What changed his mind?
Daniel's missing.
So you guys are ex—n.I.D.?
You're calling yourselves "the trust" now, right?
We want the same thing you want, Dr. Jackson.
We're trying to protect the planet.
And that's why you were watching Teal'c?
You thought he was a significantthreat
to planetary security?
Stargate command may think it's okay
to let an alien roam the streets unsupervised,
but we beg to differ.
Yeah, never mind the fact that he's helped save
the earth more times than I can count.
He is an alien.
Their motives can never be trusted.
Anyway,
he is partly responsible for the boyfriend's death.
If he hadn't shown the girl
how to crush a man's windpipe,
none of this would have happened.
So she killed him?
It was self—defense, really.
He was getting out of hand.
Andthat's when you guys moved in.
You planted evidence to make it look like Teal'c did it.
We saw an opportunity, and we took it.
What the hell is going on here?
The situation is under control.
You were supposed to getthe information and leave.
He wasn't going to cooperate.
He's a member of sg—I.
Do you have any idea
what kind of resources they'll mobilize to get him back?
Once we get the translation,
it'll be too late.
Bring the girl.
Carter. Sam, it's me.
I traced the car from the pizza place—— it's a rental.
The name on the agreement's a fake I.D. That's our man.
Whoever setthis up knew what they were doing.
I've got a bank account,
social security number and credit cards,
all from a guy who died six months ago.
Okay. Let's focus on the car.
Find out if the rental company has satellite tracking.
I'm on it. I'll call you as soon as I have something.
Uplink is established.
We're ready to transmit.
We need those symbols.
Daniel?
What's happening?
Who are these people?
It's going to be okay.
The symbols. Now... Or we kill the girl.
She's got nothing to do with this.
Look, Dr. Jackson, if it had been up to me,
things never would have gone this far.
It was supposed to be a simple surveillance operation,
butthen this little domestic dispute happened,
an d Teal'c got involved.
We knew you weren't going to help us voluntarily...
So you decided to try a little blackmail instead.
Let's just say one thing led to another.
But in any case,
it's too late for all that now,
so either you give us what we want...
Or iwill kill her.
Oh, and by the way—...
We'll know immediately if the symbols are incorrect.
Scanning.
Transmitting symbols.
Translation confirmed.
Good.
Get up
Over there. Face the wall.
I gave you what you wanted.
Move.
I said face the wall.
Look, you don't have to do this.
Daniel?
It's going to be okay.
Team two in position and ready.
Go!
He's unconscious.
There's no one here. We've got all the exits covered.
There's no way they could've gotten out.
How is that possible?
Thank you.
So it's normal for the bad guys
justto disappear into thin air, right?
Not really...
Although now I think about it,
it's notthe firsttime it's happened.
Just another day at the office.
Yes.
Figures you'd be used to it by now.
No. I mean... "Yes."
"Yes" as in...?
Yes.
Are you messing with me? No.
Which means...
Yes.
You don't need more time?
No.
Therefore...
Yes.
Be careful with that package, Eric.
Those contents are—...
Fragile.
Sorry.
There is no need for an apology.
I am grateful for your assistance.
Hey.
So, you're really leaving?
Indeed I am.
You know, you don't have to do this.
The whole thing was my fault.
There is no need to blame yourself.
The men in the warehouse, I didn't know who they were.
No one told me anything,
buti know they were using me to getto you.
If it had not been you, it would have been someone else.
They would not hesitate
to exploit any relationship to their advantage.
What do they want?
That I cannot say.
Right.
So, where are you going to go?
Back to where I came from.
What does that mean?
It means I must say goodbye.
This is all that was left.
Thank you.
Check it out.
I am honored.
Late r, t.
