These warriors are of both Ramius and Til'gath.
This meeting did not go well.
Some of these warriors have been shot in the back...
they were killed while retreating.
These was no honour in this battle.
Til'gath.
Ramius must have betrayed his allegiance.
The first prime of Ramius.
He is alive.
You must go from this place.
Why did your master betray Tilgath, speak!
We came to forge an alliance...
my master did not do this.
- He barely escaped alive. - Then what happened here?
One warrior...
Evolution Part 1
What the hell happened out there?
Our intelligence was correct.
The summit between Ramius and Til'gath did indeed take place.
However when we arrived, Ramius had already fled.
All those men had been slain, including Til'gath.
By this one man alone?
By the way he fought us, I do not doubt it.
An Ashrak?
It was unlike any warrior we have previously encountered.
Obviously you were able to take him down.
He withstood the brunt of our weapons fire before finally succumbing.
Its armour must protect it from energy based weapons.
If that's the case then we could be dealing with an entirely new kind of technology.
And we believe this wasn't an attempt by Ramius to kill Til'gath?
Ramius' Jaffa were equally decimated.
His first prime said his master barely escaped alive.
So obviously someone found out about the alliance and wanted to stop it.
Major run whatever tests you have to.
I'd like to call the Tokra in on this one sir, with your permission.
Do it.
I want to know everything we can about this warrior.
The suit must be reflecting the MRI.
As long as he's wearing that armor we're not going to know anything more.
Its helmet is made up of two pieces.
Pass me those forceps.
Looks like he's fused right into this suit.
Some sort of breathing filtration system.
It's a Goa'uld...
and quite frankly that's not as shocking as the host.
- How so? - He has an incredibly unusual organ structure.
Everything is out of proportion.
Physiologically the heart and lungs had to be abnormally large to supply enough blood and oxygen to its muscles.
Basically It's like someone trying to genetically engineer the perfect athlete without any concern for longevity.
Leaving it to the symbiote to sustain its life.
An engineered host.
A seriously flawed one.
Even a Goa'uld symbiote wouldn't be able to compensate for long.
We're still in the process of analysing its genetic data.
But for now we can tell you...
there is no evident trauma from energy weapons.
What does that mean?
The warriors armour seems to possess some sort of advanced energy absorbtion technology.
If it works the way I think it does..
it wouldn't matter how many staff or zat blasts were fired at it.
Nothing would get through.
Are you suggesting that Teal'c and Bra'tak didn't kill this Goa'uld?
Yes Sir.
Apparently the host was on the verge of a pulmonary failure long before he encountered them.
It had a heart attack?
Sorry Teal'c...
you didn't stop it.
You and Bra'tak just got lucky.
Its entire cellular structure is less than three weeks old.
It is organic...
but it was definitely created in a lab.
Well we know the Goa'uld have been trying to physically perfect a host who would be superior to humans.
Well this thing is definitely a lot stronger than humans...
but it's far from superior.
Traditionally the Goa'uld are also somewhat vain about their appearance.
This was obviously intended to be a new form of foot soldier.
Possibly a reaction to the recent uprising of the Jaffa.
What's most interesting is that this being...
was not alive when it was first grown.
It was given life after it reached this mature state.
Frankenstein's monster.
How do you know that?
Remnants of a unique energy signature within it's cells.
It's similar to the residual effects left by the use of a sarcophagus.
Could it give life to something that wasn't alive in the first place?
No, the sarcophagus are designed to boost health and longevity,
heal or revive someone terminally injured.
They are nowhere near powerful enough to animate non living cellular matter.
- Then what could have? - Thousands of years ago a Goa'uld...
found a device originally created by the Ancients.
He determined it's primary purpose was to heal.
But it was so powerful that its effects on human hosts ultimately proved devastating.
However after much research and experimentation...
the Goa'uld was able to use the technology to create the first sarcophagus.
Obviously he wasn't able to eliminate all it's negative side effects.
The Tokra have long sought this device...
in the hope of using it...
to perfect the sarcophagus technology
so that we can all benefit from it.
Now it may be the key to fighting this new warrior.
How?
With the device we may be able to devise a weapon to counteract...
this life giving energy.
Who is the first Goa'uld to find the device?
His name was Tel'chak.
Tel'chak.
Nicholas Ballard my... grandfather.
One of Nicks obsessions was finding the so called fountain of youth.
He claimed he found evidence indicating the source of the fountains power...
was a piece of...
alien technology used by early Mayans tribes around 900BC.
They traced its origins to Chak, the Mayan god of rain.
- And you think this Chak may have actually been Tel'chak. - Just a hunch.
Maybe not just a hunch.
- The primary function of the device was to heal right? - For the Ancients.
For Humans to see any positive effect it would be from very limited exposure at a safe distance.
Still if the device was kept hidden near a water source it could be the basis for the fountain of youth mythology.
Nick believed Chaks temple was located somewhere in Central America.
He spent decades of his life searching for it but came up empty.
I've been over his notes and most of it is indecipherable.
The only mention of the temples location is somewhere...
near a waterfall in a river.
This is written in an obscure dialect of Goa'uld.
- So where is it? - It's here.
If Selmak's right Tel'chak's temple is in Southern Honduras.
How can we be certain the device is there?
Um, We can't but...
We think we know who's responsible for creating the Goa'uld Warrior.
Tel'chak?
No.
After Tel'chak created the sarcophagus...
Anubis went to war with him for possession of the original Ancients device.
And that was long ago before Anubis attempted to ascend.
Anubis defeated Tel'chak...
but he never did find the device.
It was believed to be hidden in one of Tel'chaks many temples.
You think Anubis is behind this.
He knew about the technology.
While he never actually found the device he ultimately wouldn't need to.
He would have gained access to the knowledge when he ascended, built himself a new one.
Still it's only a guess.
- Yes. - Yes
But it's a good one.
The good news is, sir...
the original Ancients device is most probably still here on Earth.
If we could analyse the technology of this device...
it might be possible to engineer a weapon we could use against these warriors.
Not to mention the possibility of harnessing it's power to heal.
Very well.
Doctor Jackson take Doctor Lee and see what you can find. Dismissed!
Twenty miles outside of Tegicigalpa, Honduras
Are you sure this is the right place?
This is where he said he'd be.
What if he doesn't show up.
We have a few beers. Make a few friends.
Hola, muy Buenos dias, caballeros.
Una serveza? Una tequila?
Um, de hecho, estamos buscando a una guia llamado Rogelio,
el que debemos ver aqui.
Hé, Pedro, haste cargo, tio.
I am Rohilio.
Rohilio Duran.
At your service.
This is just my day job.
You must be Doctor Jackson.
That's right. And this is Doctor Lee.
- Buenos dias. - Encantado.
So... You guys wanna see some temples.
Actually we wanna see one temple in particular.
Here.
I'm sorry to tell you this Senor but... there are no temples there.
What you wanna do is go North. That's where all the good stuff is.
There's lots of ruins.
My cousin has a truck... we could be there in five hours.
Yeah. I'm sure the North is great but we really wanna go... here.
Senor I've been to this part of the country many times.
There is nothing there I promise you.
North! That's where you wanna go. Trust me.
Look either you take us South or we'll find someone who will.
Ok, ok, ok...
it's your money.
- So you say your cousin has a truck. - Simon.
His house is just around the corner.
Of course there is the issue of...
filling the tank with gas.
OK! Now we're talking business.
Lets go gentlemen.
I need a receipt. I gotta fill in the paper...
If Anubis is truly behind this...
then his strategy is to assassinate any minor Goa'ulds vulnerable to attack.
Absorbing their troups and resources...
in preparation for battle with Baal and the System Lords.
How many more of these so called minor Goa'ulds have suffered attacks?
At least three. These new warriors are devastating.
- We have any idea where they're coming from? - No.
Our fear is it's only a matter of time before Anubis targets Earth.
These beings are a great threat to all who hope to one day see the Goa'uld wither in defeat.
- If Doctor Jackson can recover this Ancient Device... - Even if he does.
There is no guarantee the Tokra can devise a weapon capable of fending off these warriors.
We were only able to learn a limited amount from our study of the dead warrior and it's armour.
The only way to learn more is through interrogation.
Which means we have to capture one alive.
What have we got Major?
The warriors armour is able to resist our strongest armour piercing weapons.
As well as absorb energy weapon fire.
However, we've discovered that the material is made up of a close knit fibre thats very similar to kevlar...
meaning, something small and sharp should be able to penetrate it.
Such as a fine tipped trinium dart.
According to Brat'ak the fact that this Ramius is still alive makes him a likely target.
There are enough rebel Jaffa under his command so that gaining access to the planet shouldn't be a problem.
The plan is to stake out the Stargate on Ramius' planet...
and capture one of the warriors when it comes through.
What if one doesn't come through?
Well... We come home I suppose.
However let's say Bra'tak is right.
We meet his contacts on Ramius' planet...
and set up an ambush using a Tokra forcefield to trap the warrior...
and then hit it with tranqualisers.
How does the dart get through the shield?
They're one way. They keep things in not out.
So what do you think?
I have some notes.
According to the map we're in the right place but uh...
This makes no sense.
The legend of the fountain of youth says that all nearby water flows towards it.
Well hows that possible?
Well maybe the device has special properties or...
maybe it's just superstition...
or maybe it means the water from that waterfall back there flows in the direction of the temple.
- Well it should be right here, but... - Nobody ever listens to me, man.
I tell them there are no temples out here but what do they do?
They come out here anyway.
Not the North...
the North has roads. We could drive to any temple we want but instead...
- we're out here walking through this jungle. - Yeah, Okay. Um...
Let's spread out, look for a...
temple.
In lieu of that look for a...
totem or marker of some kind anything that might tell us where to go from here.
Go!
Found it!
I believe this is the best spot to set up for your ambush.
This path leads directly to the pyramid of Ramius.
I will go now to ensure that your eventual escape will be undetected.
Brother.
Tek'ma'te Master Bra'tak, it is an honour to be in your service.
Many thanks Adal.
Alright Carter do your thing.
Reynolds I want flanking positions set up on either side of the clearing.
- Roger that. - Ring the perimeter with C4.
Not much faith in plan A?
Since when has plan A ever worked?
Right.
- You okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.
At least you were right about there being something here.
Listen we're gonna go...
look around, stay put.
You got it Senor. Have fun.
This is definitely early Mayan stonework.
Oh... yeah.
SG3 Sierra this is SG1 niner what's your status?
We're maintaining position. Stargate is secured...
there is no activity.
Maybe we should start a pool.
Hey is this cramped thing get to you?
I mean why would they make these passageways so narrow?
Maybe they were skinny people.
And the roof too.
- Ow my head. God! - Skinny short people.
It's a dead end.
There's no other passageway.
Nothing on the walls or ceiling. No glyphs,no seals, no ancient script.
Not even a pictograph.
Isn't there always writing?
You know, I mean, somewhere. There's bound to be... Maybe not.
SG1 niner this is SG3 Sierra.
Target has just come through the gate and is on his way to your position.
Alright, heads up!
Do it!
Carter?
I don't understand Sir.
Hit him again?
A third dart could kill him we want him alive.
Son of a bitch.
Fire in the hold!
C4!
Sir our positions have been made.
Alright grab the wounded. Lets saddle up.
SG3 Sierra dial the gate.
We're aborting the mission.
Negative SG1.
We have major Jaffa closing on our position.
We cannot hold the gate.
Repeat: Stargate is not secure.
Soon we will be surrounded.
If we fight many more will die.
What do you wanna do?
Surrender.
There is a chance Adal and his rebel Jaffa can free us later.
Doctor Jackson. Doctor Lee.
Yeah, we're here. We've found a chamber.
Gonna be a while.
Ah, take your time Senor.
Are we paying him by the hour?
I don't understand...
how are we supposed to find this thing if there is no writing?
All water flows towards it.
So?
Give me your canteen.
Here hold this.
What goods that gonna do?
There's something under here.
You're good.
How's he doing?
He's stable for now but we've gotta get him outa here soon.
I'm fine.
I'll handle this.
Greetings!
Well ah...
I know how this looks.
So I think it's important...
we clear up any misunderstanding...
right away.
We did not come to kill you.
Honest.
Am I right?
The fact is, and this is the fun part...
We actually came to save your ass.
All your asses.
Do you see the irony?
Alright.
There's this guy out there.
Big guy.
Big guy in a black suit.
None to fond of you Goa'ulds.
Well anyway, he's the one we're after not you.
So, if you wanna let us go, we'll be on our way...
to save the world another day... Your not buying this are you?
Well. That went well.
That went well.
- At least it has writing on it. - Yeah...
What's it say?
I have no idea.
Careful! Um...
This has the technology of a Sarcophagus...
which, by itself, causes madness and addiction.
This is supposedly something far more powerful.
So accidentally activating it...
would be bad.
Ok...
Let's just try picking it up without...
touching it.
I think running would be a great idea.
Doctor Jackson...
Can you hear me?
Your friends condition worsent.
Yeah well. Your friends could show up any time now.
We must consider that they may not.
Really?
At least we are alive.
Yes...
if you call this living.
Your worried that the super soldier will kill Ramius and then just slaughter the rest of us.
Super Soldier?
No?
It has a ring.
Most likely the warrior was only after Ramius.
When we attacked its only concern was escape...
so that the mission may be completed.
So what? We just sit around while Ramius gets whacked?
Then What?
Hey!
Hey! What a little conversation gonna kill ya?
Look...
I know your all about loyalty. Well... so am I.
- In fact manys the time... - Silence!
Teal'c...
Hear me Jaffa.
Your master is a false God and will surely be defeated.
However you still have a chance to be free.
Your words mean nothing to me.
I know who you are.
The Shol'va Teal'c. And Bra'tak.
O'Neill of the Tauri.
Assassins who believe they could slay my Master.
Well if we're assassins...
who's that... hmm?
Doctor Jackson, Doctor Lee, can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Are you okay? I thought you were dead for sure. What happened senor?
We went straight into a trap.
I hope you figured out why those passageways were so narrow.
It's to prevent people from escaping alive.
You're good.
What have you've found?
I'm not going to rob you senor.
Consider this...
does it sound like it's going well?
Your master will be slain as will you if you do not free us.
You lie,
my master is a god.
He is invincible.
You're next you know.
Ramius will force you to die for him while he attempts to escape.
- My god will fight for his people. - You are wrong my friend.
Your god is somewhere cowering in fear like a child.
I have seen it before.
He will not hesitate to sacrifice all your lives to save his own.
Hey!
What about us!
Shouldn't it be a little easier to convince these guys?
Sir..
Hang in there Reynolds.
As long as it takes.
Ramius is falling...
go now before he comes for you.
Go, go, go. Come on!
Let's go. Let's go.
Come on...
Listen if this is some sort of turf thing that we're not aware of...
- then I'm sorry. - Oh no, Senor. Please don't speak.
No I'm just saying that whoever you guys think we are, we're not.
Who do I think you are?
I don't know.
We're scientists, archaeologists as a matter of fact.
I'm just saying that if...
you know this is a kidnapping... which it seems it is...
then you should know that we're not worth anything.
Trust me Gringo,
everyone worth something to somebody.
I tripped, I'm sorry.
I can't see anything.
What just happened?
He's dead.
He tried to run,
what can you do?
And now we will all stay on the path.
After you.
It would appear that Ramius was attempting to board one of his ships.
Sir I think we still have a chance to capture the warrior.
How?
Transport cycle complete.
Carter did you get him?
- Got him. - Good.
Indeed.
Look I don't know what you expect...
but no one's going to pay anything for us. We're not worth anything.
That is unfortunate for you...
because if no one pays, you both die.
It's still unconscious?
That's surprising...
considering we voided the cargo bay of life support as soon as we got it on the ship.
It took 10 minutes for it to pass out.
I'm surprised it's even still alive.
It put up a hell of a fight, sir.
Very well.
Your prisoner is awake.
Who do you serve?
Speak!
I serve Anubis.
How were you created?
I think it's safe to assume that they're not going to get anymore out of him.
Have you found anything else?
Our initial scans indicated below normal brainwave patterns
eminating from both the symbiote and the host.
Basically he's got all the strength and healing powers of a normal Goa'uld, but...
none of the normal personality traits.
The Goa'uld use sophisticated brainwashing techniques.
I'm open to suggestions.
- How can we find out what it knows, if anything? - There is one possibility.
We may be able to use a memory recall device...
to access any conscious images in its mind as it thinks of them.
Do it.
Sir?
Any word from Daniel?
No, Doctor Jackson is now six hours overdue for his regular contact schedule.
That's late, even for Daniel.
The Honduran government has assured the state department, they're looking into it.
They've sent some people to the last reported location. So far they've found nothing.
If his brainwaves are compatible with the device...
we should be able to see whatever he is thinking holographically.
What is your planet of origin?
That's a sky above his planet.
I don't recognise any of these star configurations. This could be anywhere.
We have star mapping technology that should be able to pinpoint this location in the galaxy.
He just gave us his home world.
I know it's not much but... we do what we can.
So...
here's my proposal for you.
I will ask questions, you'll give me answers. I believe you...
you get more water...
food...
maybe even a blanket at night, okay?
Okay.
Who do you work for?
- I told you we're archaeologists... - Maybe...
I was not so clear.
If I don't believe you, things get worse for you.
Much worse.
You kill us you get nothing.
Maybe I kill one of you to get your governments attention.
Who lives?
who dies?
That's up to you my friend.
Okay you listen to me.
What you're doing now is a big mistake.
Some People, very powerful people are going to come for us and uh...
well let's just say by letting us go now...
you're going to save yourself a lot of trouble.
Okay...
We do it the hard way.
Understand this...
I will not hesitate to kill you both.
Make an example of you for your government so the next time...
they will take us seriously.
You should know...
many prisoneers talk as you do...
My friends will come and save me...
Give it them hope.
The Tokra call it Tartarus.
It's a seemingly unoccupied planet on the edge of Goa'uld controled space.
The Tokra are currently trying to get as close as they can...
to assess any defences that might be there.
Sir.
I'm afraid I have some bad news.
I just received a communicate from the state department in Washington.
It appears that Daniel Jackson and Doctor Lee have been kidnapped.
Our best guess is that they crossed the border into Nicaragua...
however at this moment we have no idea where they are.
