Previously on Stargate SG-1:
This is the base of the Tau'Ri... Why are there Jaffa?
Rebel warriors.
Jaffa who have turned against the Goa'uld
- Is that going to be a problem? - Not for us
Somebody want to tell me what's going on here?
It's history. For 200 years, every time a Tok'ra died at the end of a staff weapon, a Jaffa was holding it.
This was obviously intended to be a new form of foot soldier.
I serve Anubis.
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 a Goa'uld found a device originally created by the Ancients.
With this device we may be able to devise a weapon to counteract this life giving energy.
- Where's the matrix crystal? - Next to the primaries.
I can'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 have 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 at countering the reanimation technology.
The power unit you were 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.
- Lieutenant Glen, what's happening? - We're under attack
we just picked up Goa'uld ships entering the atmosphere.
Colonel Riley has ordered an immediate evac to beta. We're bugging out right now.

What happened?
Approximately 20 minutes ago, the approach of Goa'uld ships prompted the evacuation of the Alpha site.
Sam was doing research there.
She and Jacob were working on a weapon to neutralize Anubis' 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 secret.
They'd get there in a Tok'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 on route, receiving MALP telemetry.
Sir, my instruments are telling me that the MALP is on its side.
Do we still have camera control? - Yes Sir.
If the Stargate was knocked over and is lying face down on the ground,
then the event horizon would have excavated a cavity underneath it.
The MALP came through, and fell into the hole.
There is no way to know if the DHD survived the attack.
- If we were to bring an alternate power source we could.. - Dial up manually.
- But you could possibly be under enemy fire. - We'll be fine Sir, the gate dug the perfect foxhole.
- You have a go, good luck Colonel. - Thank you Sir.
This destruction does not appear to be the result of an aerial assault.
Single radius blast.
Possibly from a self destruct to prevent the Alpha site from falling into enemy hands.
So we'll split up,
- Search for survivors. - Who could of survived this?
- Start with the tree line there. - Copy.
Move out.
O'Neill.
What have you got?
This is the armor of one of Anubis' drones.
Reynolds.
Go ahead.
Be advised, we may not be alone here.
One of Anubis' goons might have been on the planet when it blew. Use extreme caution.
Understood.
- Colonel. - Major Green, you alright?
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.
- O'Neill. - Go ahead.
- We found twelve survivors but they're not in good shape. - How bad?
Some can walk, but most need immediate medical treatment.
Major Carter with them?
I'm afraid not.
SG3 is going to need a little help to get the 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 more resources to help with the search.
Getting the wounded out is our first priority Sir.
I agree, but if there are any other survivors out there they may not have a lot of time.
Understood Sir, we'll keep trying.
Jacob!
- Anubis' drones... - We know.
Take this.
It's not a hundred percent, 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 out there.
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 know that thing survived as well.
- What about the 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 of 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 if there was enough kinetic energy. - There would have to be a lot.
- How about a missile? - That might do it, if you get close enough.
Sergeant Syler,
- Prepare a UAV with UCAV specs. - Yes Sir.
Am I in some kind of trouble here Sir?
The fact the location of the Alpha site has been compromised indicates
that we have a serious breach in security on our hands here.
The pentagon is demanding that I launch a formal enquiry immediately.
- Just tell 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,
by the time I made it to the command center Colonel Riley had already ordered the evacuation.
What happened to the Stargate?
It was hit by a bomb. We were cut off, that's when the drones landed in scout ships.
They took everything that we threw at them and they just kept coming.
So Colonel Riley ordered a self-destruct?
He knew there 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 tree line..
- I should have 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, there's nothing unusual about that.
I want a list of all personnel. Humans, Tok'ra, Jaffa..
Who've come and gone to the Alpha site gate in the last 48 hours.
Yes Sir.
Footprints.
Standard issue from the SGC.
Indeed. The depth of the imprint if consistent with someone of Major Carter's size.
There's another set over there.
They seem to be much larger, perhaps a drone.
Yeah..
Do you believe that this prototype weapon will be effective against it?
We'll jump off that bridge when we come to it.
- So, how's the leg? - It's getting there, slowly but surely.
Oh' yeah, slowly. The way you heal it'll probably take a day.
We'll jump off that bridge when we come to it.
- 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 cout ships approaching.
- We have to leave now. - Just give me a second.
We had to download 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 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.
She could just be hiding, waiting for a chance to go back through the gate.
Out of all the rooms on the base, why did it come to that lab? 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 that 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 Syler, report. - Ready to go Sir.
- Well done, I want it airborne now. - Yes Sir.
General, medical reports that the leader of the Jaffa survivors has been cleared for debriefing.
I want to speak to him immediately.
Yes Sir.
- I do not understand why I am 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 Olakon.
His drones are slaughtering the Jaffa that stand against them.
They are dieing for a hopeless cause.
What does that have to do with the Tok'ra?
We believe that they have a spy in Olakon's higher ranks.
One that 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 Olakon's ranks.
Then they are Lying to you as well. With their master dead,
the siege would be over and Olakon's Jaffa would be free to join our movement.
The gate logs show that a group of Jaffa left the Alpha site less then 24 hours before the attack.
- You sent your own people didn't you. - Yes.
- Have they reported back? - They have not.
- If they were captured by Anubis.. - No Jaffa would succumb to torture
Anubis doesn't have to resort to torture. He has technology
at his disposal that will simply allow him to read a prisoners mind.
Her'uur was killed, I was forced to pledge allegiance to 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 Olakon be given that same choice.
If you allow me to go to the Beta site to speak to the other survivors,
I may be able to discover what happened to the Jaffa that we sent.
Very well.
- Colonel O'Neill. - General.
- Status report. - We found tracks Sir, they 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 direction. Hammond out.
Jacob.
- Any news on Sam? - Not yet,
but 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 need to talk to you about that.
Do you know anything about a Tok'ra operative within Olakon's ranks?
- No. - According to the Jaffa, you have a spy in his inner circle.
- They're mistaken. "Unscheduled Off world Activation"
Did you learn anything at the Beta Site?
Of the Jaffa sent to recruit rebels from Olakon army, only one returned.
The fate of the others is unknown. Anubis has won a major victory.
Thousands of Jaffa have been killed and many of Olakon commanders
captured. The Tok'ra spy among them...
That's impossible. If we had someone on the inside I would have known about it.
Are you sure?
- Thank you for your co-operation in this matter Daleg. - 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 sent
to recruit rebels from Olakon armies didn't return.
Because they were captured in Anubis' latest defensive. It is the most logical explanation.
According to the Jaffa, a Tok'ra spy was also captured.
We both know that Jaffa intelligence is not always as reliable as it should be.
So your saying you haven't got an operative in Olakon ranks?
I am unable to discuss such matters at this present time.
The terms of our alliance dictates full disclosure.
In matters of joint concern. The security of the Alpha Site is a matter of joint concern.
But the disposition of our operatives has no bearing on the Alpha Site.
So you claim.
You have allies among the other nations of this planet do you not?
- Of course. - Do you always practice full disclosure?
We gave you shelter when you had nowhere else to go.
Because you needed us. Just as you brought us Telchak's re-animation device
because you needed our help to develop a weapon against Anubis' drones.
But you were 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 feels extremely unwise.
We need those ships for the defense of Earth.
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?
- 5 - You know how many people I'm missing? 64.
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've spoken to General Hammond.
He say's he asked you if we had a spy in Olakon inner circle.
Yes he did.
He asked me the same question. Of course I told 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. I am still Selmak. And I was
a leader of the Tok'ra, before you had even taken a host.
Maybe you've been a leader too long. The Tau'Ri 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.
Do 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 right to know.
We knew you would feel that way. Which is precisely why you were not informed.
So Daleg admits that this spy has gone missing.
Yes. But the Tok'ra will never acknowledge that he could have 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 that the 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't think you'll ever find out for sure who was responsible for the leak.
It could have been the Tok'ra or the Jaffa. It could have 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.
- 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 have already been several altercations.
If I can't get the 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.
- O'neill - Go ahead
The UAV has been shuttled down in your area
It's 4 clicks away on a heading of 320 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 get's out of hand.
You're a leader amongst the Jaffa. They'll listen to you.
And what would you have me say? That they must continue to bear the arrogance of the Tok'ra without complaint?
That they must be subservient to those that would sacrifice so many of their brothers?
For thousands of years, the Jaffa have been dependant 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'm aware of the significance of Tretonin.
Are you also aware that countless millions of Tok'ra symbiotes died in it's development?
Including our beloved Queen, Aggeria?
The Queen from which all our lineage can be traced.
I was not.
For the first time, the Tok'ra have fought side by side with
the Jaffa and the people of the Tau'Ri 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 together 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 suspect that 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 stop 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've suffered a number of unprovoked assaults.
Unprovoked? You refused to help us and thousands of Jaffa died needlessly.
- Assassinating Olakon 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 right to choose. Instead they were slaughtered.
We have been fighting the Goa'uld for thousands of years. You have no right to question our methods.
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 Tau'Ri, your tendency to provoke direct confrontation with the Goa'uld
has resulted in the deaths of more Tok'ra than the previous 100 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 Aggeria from whom all Tok'ra are spawned is dead. Our numbers are dwindling.
This alliance may simply be something we cannot afford.
Carter I need the... Thanks
Cover him.
- Is it? - Yeah, he's dead...
Right Teal'c, he's dead? Yeah, he's dead.
- You want to get up? - I just need to rest for a minute.
Come here.
First of all we'd like to congratulate you on the recovery of Major Carter.
We're 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 it 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 consult you 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 what to do. We simply think it's important to co-ordinate our efforts.
Unlike the Tau'Ri 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 out there
so that we could get a weapon capable of stopping Anubis' 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 Doctor Jackson. - This is how it must be.
Howdy kid. You were asleep for a long time. You gave me quite a scare.
- I'm 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 a while.
If I stay with the Tok'ra, I can at least try to mend some fences.
- You sure? - I'm not ready to give up on this just yet.
Don't worry. I'll be back eventually.
- I'll miss you. - I'll miss you too.
