I don't like this.
I don't think the Tlak'kahn are trying too hard to catch us.
Think we should slow down to encourage them?
The Tlak'kahn are always trying to ambush us.
Maybe that's why they're letting us get away.
Harrison, leave Draga to watch the stargate and go check out the trail.
The Tlak'kahn may have set up an ambush.
There's no way I can spot them through the trees. I'll have to go lower.
BONNER: Don't try it, Harrison. Nobody can fly through that tangle.
Relax, major.
When it comes to flying, I'm a natural. Uh!
Where is the human?
Get him!
Uh, I think I found them, major.
[GRUNTS]
[YELLS]
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Come on, ugh, just a few more, ugh, feet.
Harrison.
I could use a little help here.
Whoa! Going too fast, can't stop running!
[COUGHS]
I thought you were a natural when it came to flying.
DRAGA: It is landing part that gives him trouble.
How'd you make it past the Tlak'kahn ambush?
I guess somebody distracted them a little.
Yeah, I do what I can.
Yuck! What's that smell?
[COUGHS]
Sulfur.
You get used to it after a while.
The clouds out there are mainly sulfur, so concentrated...
...that except for the high elevations, this planet is uninhabitable.
- You've been here before? - A long time ago.
Let's see if I can still do this.
[SOUNDS CALL]
[CALL ECHOES]
Uh, since the Tlak'kahn have access to your service record...
...isn't it dangerous to go to planets you've been to before?
Well, it's been a while since we've done that.
Maybe they've given up. But we'll check things out, just in case.
A recon drone.
BOTH: Uh!
It's getting away.
[SOUNDS CALL]
Did you see them?
[CREATURE SQUAWKS]
Now, that's what I call flying.
[BOTH SPEAKING IN ALIEN LANGUAGE]
You've gotta fix it, Ec'co.
Hmm.
I'm nothing without my wings.
[SPEAKING IN ALIEN LANGUAGE]
You want me to ride it?
Hey, now you're talking my language.
Careful, Harrison. Take it slow at first.
Hey, like I said, when it comes to flying, I'm a natural.
Whoa, whoa.
[HARRISON GRUNTING]
[SCREAMS]
Take it easy.
Whoa!
[SCREAMING]
There no time.
Must slow fall.
[COUGHING]
[GROANING]
Save your breath, Harrison.
I can't believe that bird threw me.
So? It was your first time.
What do you mean? Flying's easy, at least for me.
I was the top pilot in my class at the academy.
Riding a living thing is different from a machine.
When I was a little girl on the reservation, I rode horses all the time.
It's a different thing, even from riding my bike.
You have to be patient.
And you've got to learn how to communicate.
What I need to communicate is who's the boss.
I think the creature just showed us who's boss.
He surprised me, that's all.
"There ain't a horse that can't be rode and a cowboy that can't be throwed."
It's just an old saying, Draga. I heard it in a movie once.
I know another old saying:
"If a horse throws you, you have to get right back on."
[CREATURE SQUAWKS]
[GRUNTS]
You're enjoying this, aren't you?
Aren't you?
HARRISON: Whoa!
[GRUNTS]
[SCREAMS]
[GRUNTS]
[SCREAMING]
That's it. Those things just don't like humans.
I don't think they're the problem, Harrison. You are.
You've got to treat them with respect.
Aren't you a nice alien?
[CREATURE PURRS]
See, Harrison? Nothing to it.
Oh!
So? They only like girls.
Easy there, big fella.
Hey, that looks like fun.
Ugh.
What's the matter, Harrison? You running out of excuses?
BONNER: Yee-haw!
Yeah! Ride them cowboy, yeah!
HARRISON: It's just not fair.
Come on, Harrison, give it another try. It's not that hard.
It just takes some people a little longer.
I've got my own wings.
We've all been invited to a feast at the H'Roon village.
Ahem. We'll have to fly. You can, uh, double up with me if you want.
No, thanks. Somebody needs to guard the vehicles.
Maybe I can fix the jetpack.
I've never known you to turn down a meal.
Well, maybe you don't know everything.
Suit yourself, but sulking's not gonna make it any better.
Wait, major.
I'm sorry I snapped at you. I'm just not used to failing.
Swimming, flying, things like that have always been easy for me.
You just need to try harder. It takes patience.
Hey, it took me three tries to pass the stargate training exam.
I did try!
I was as patient as I could be and I still got thrown.
There's a difference between patience and pigheadedness.
When you got thrown, you went right back and tried the same thing.
Right, if at first you don't succeed--
No. It isn't try, try again.
Sometimes you've got to try something different until you find out what works.
Hey, major. So how did you pass the exam?
I studied. Made the test a lot easier.
[SIGHS]
SEATTLE: Ha-ha. You wanna race? STACEY: You're on.
Feel like I'm grounded. I guess I am.
[GRUNTS]
Ow. Hey.
If I'm gonna try something different, I better get started.
[SQUAWKS]
Ah, what's the use?
H'QARA: The H'Roon welcome Gus Bonner, old friend...
...and the new friends he has brought us.
Anyone who fights the Tlak'kahn is a friend of the H'Roon.
[CHEERING]
- Why is that? - The Tlak'kahn...
...almost destroyed our world.
Ages ago, we lived in the valleys of our world.
Lush valleys, full of life. But then the Tlak'kahn came.
[HISSING]
They enslaved us and put us to work...
...ruining the valleys with mines and smelters.
And when they got what they wanted, they left.
The valleys were poisoned with the yellow smoke.
Those of us who were left sought shelter on the mountaintops...
...learned to tame and ride the H'Lahpan and rebuilt our lives.
But it was hard.
Only after much trial and error did we find the right path.
Since the H'Roons took care of that robot spy...
...I doubt the Tlak'kahn will show up any time soon.
Unless....
All but one of the scout drones have reported, commander.
There's no sign of Bonner and the Ancient.
All but one? Huh?
Which one?
The planet of the H'Roons.
The H'Roons themselves may have destroyed it.
Perhaps or perhaps not.
Uh-oh.
- Ah! - We've caught them this time.
Prepare an ambush.
Yes, commander. Another ambush.
Major, you there?
[STATIC]
Busted. Must have been corroded by that sulfur cloud.
I've gotta warn them somehow.
If only I had the ARJP.
[CREATURE SQUAWKS]
Huh?
Well, I guess there's no other way.
[HARRISON WHISTLING]
See? That wasn't so bad, was it?
You hungry? Like something to eat?
Too bad Seattle's not here. Animals always love her.
Now what? Oh, yeah, patience.
Hey, how's it going?
You're a nice, uh, weird alien bird, aren't you?
[SQUAWKS]
Oh.
Oh, come on, man, I'm trying to be nice.
[GROANING]
[CREATURE GROANING]
Hmm.
[GROANS]
Well, what do you know? I've communicated.
[GROANS]
[LAUGHS]
Uh! Whoa, you need some mouthwash.
Easy now, easy....
Okay, let's go.
Wow.
Talk about natural flying.
No engines. No gauges or readouts. Just wings.
Woo-hoo-hoo!
[SQUAWKING]
Major, the Tlak'kahn. They've come through the gate.
Let's go. Mount up.
You fight Tlak'kahn? Then the H'Roon ride with you.
H'Qara, it'd be an honor.
[CHEERING]
[CHATTERING]
The first time the Tlak'kahn came...
...there was nothing my people could do to stop them.
But this time, we are ready.
If at first you don't succeed....
Whoo.
Keep trying until you find something that works.
This time we will not fail.
We will capture the Ancient...
...and Gus Bonner.
We've ambushed the humans before...
...and somehow they always escape.
Perhaps we should try something else?
Something different.
No! That is the human way.
If they fail, they think they should try a new way of doing something.
That is weakness.
The Tlak'kahn are strong.
When we fail, we try again. And again. And again!
We will not be changed!
And that is why the Tlak'kahn will always win in the end.
Yes, commander. I'm sure you are right.
[H'ROON CALL SOUNDS]
[COUGHING]
The fighters!
[YELLS]
[LAUGHS]
[GUNFIRE]
Whoa!
[SCREAMS]
[SCREAMING]
Uh?
[SCREAMING]
You cannot win against Tlak'kahn technology.
[CREATURE GROANS]
H'Qara.
[H'QARA SCREAMING]
Uh! Gotcha.
Impressive flying, but that won't save you.
Look out, Harrison!
[SCREAMING]
[COUGHING]
[LAUGHING]
[GROANING]
Thank you, Harrison, for rescuing me. You fly like a natural-born H'Roon.
Thanks. That really means a lot to me.
But I'm no natural.
It wasn't easy to learn to fly the H'Roon way.
It took practice and the patience not to give up.
That's the only way to learn anything new.
What about Da'kyll? Can he survive being exposed to the sulfur?
The Tlak'kahn will survive.
But he will smell very bad for a very long time.
Ha! He didn't smell too good when he went in.
See you around, big guy.
That was the best flight I ever had.
[GROANS]
SEATTLE: Huh? STACEY: Hm?
[CREATURE GROANS]
Huh. Communication.
[LAUGHING]
