- What's up? - Receiving GDO transmission.
- It's the Tok'ra, sir. - Open the iris.
- Maybe it's Dad. - Maybe.
Martouf. How are you?
Samantha. Colonel O'Neill.
- Well enough, under the circumstances. - What's wrong?
Maybe we should discuss this elsewhere.
It's my father.
- I'm afraid he's been captured by Sokar. - Oh, my God.
- As far as we know, he is still alive. - As far as you know?
You know that Sokar has assumed the persona of the entity known as the Devil?
Yeah. A bit pretentious, don't you think?
You must understand when I say that if Selmak is still alive...
- ...he has been sent to Hell. - As in...?
A place of eternal suffering and damnation from which there is no return.
So, what are we really talking about here?
Netu is a moon that orbits Sokar's home planet.
- A very hot moon, I take it. - It is a place where fires burn strong.
But you know for sure that my father is still alive?
I am sorry, Samantha. I know this must be difficult.
Once captured, Selmak and Jacob - your father - would have been brutally tortured.
But Sokar would rather see his victims suffer than die.
So we're talking about a rescue mission here?
Unfortunately, to our knowledge, no one has ever escaped from Netu.
Oh.
No one except for Jolinar.
- Oh. - Of course. It makes sense.
A Goa'uld impersonating the Devil would create a place like Netu.
Netu is from the book of Am-Taut...
...a how-to guide on passing through the ancient Egyptian "other world" regions.
Those regions are dark places with pits of fire, home to monsters and the damned.
What little we know is based on legends that have been perpetuated by Sokar.
- How did Jolinar get out? - She never said.
No one ever asked her how she escaped from an inescapable prison?
She was found unconscious and badly injured in a teltac -
a cargo ship - floating adrift in space. Her recovery was long and painful.
She was encouraged to remember, but she refused to speak of it.
- Anyone curious as to why? - I implored her, but she would not say.
I only carried Jolinar for a short time.
I've never had anything more than flashes of her memories, occasionally dreams.
But certainly never anything like this place you're describing.
The Tok'ra have technology that aids the recall of memories, but...
...you must be willing to use it.
Well, if we're going in on this one, sir, we're going to need a couple more units.
A full military incursion will be impossible, Colonel O'Neill.
We do covert.
Selmak's recovery is obviously a high priority.
However, and forgive me, Samantha...
...but there is something larger at stake here.
The Tok'ra believe that Sokar is about to launch an attack...
- ...against the System Lords. - Isn't that good news?
The disorganisation of the System Lords' fragmented rule...
...is a far more vulnerable target than one powerful Goa'uld.
- Especially if that Goa'uld is Sokar. - He's that much worse than the others?
Of all the gods he picked to impersonate, he chose the Devil.
We need to find Selmak and determine what he knows about Sokar's attack.
Without wanting to sound too dramatic, the fate of the galaxy may be at stake.
Sounds a bit overly dramatic.
Sounds like we can't refuse.
- Colonel, you have a go. - Yeah.
- When? - As soon as you're ready.
If you all are sure you understand what you are volunteering for.
- You said Hell, right? - I'm gonna end up there sooner or later.
Might as well check out the neighbourhood, huh?
The teltac we will require for the journey awaits us on the planet Vorash.
- Ship? - There is no Stargate on Netu.
Those banished there are taken by ship.
Have I mentioned to you that I hate surprises?
We have a long journey ahead. There'll be much time to inform you of all the details.
Now, see, that puts me in a position to be surprised.
Chevron seven is locked.
Major, you will bring your father back safely.
Yes, sir. We will.
- This ship looks familiar. - It's the teltac in which Jolinar was found.
It was severely damaged when we found it.
The flight mechanisms have been repaired, but the hyperdrive engines...
...can only be run at 40 per cent without too much risk.
Is this vessel equipped with stealth capabilities?
The ship we were in could make itself invisible.
- Really? - It was an upgrade.
You're obviously dealing with a base model here.
- Are you sure you can fly this ship? - With great proficiency.
While we're on the surface, you may have to avoid Sokar's forces.
- What, isn't Teal'c coming with us? - He cannot.
The atmosphere is impenetrable by ship.
The only way to reach the surface is in the descent pods.
It is how all the damned are sent to Netu by Sokar, and how we must arrive...
...if we're to convince others we can be trusted.
- And there are only four pods? - Correct.
This counts as a surprise, you know.
Shall we embark?
By all means.
To Hell with us.
So what else can you tell us about Netu?
The moon was once an industrialised colony of the planet Delmak.
When Sokar conquered Delmak, he made it his home world.
He transformed the environment to suit the myths.
He went to an awful lot of trouble.
He filled the atmosphere with toxins...
...then blasted holes in the moon's surface, releasing the molten core.
As I apply the memory device, you will feel a sharp pain.
We've actually all experienced this technology before.
Good. Then you will know what to expect.
So we're actually gonna see Jolinar's memories appear as holographic images?
There are no specific ways of targeting memories.
Some of Samantha's own personal memories may come out.
Out of respect for her privacy, we will not be using this part of the technology.
- Thank you. - You can describe what you see.
I'm ready.
- Sam? - In here.
Why are you crying?
Where's Mom?
Oh, God.
Listen to me, Samantha.
- I'm sorry. I'm stuck in my own past. - Think of Jolinar.
The last night we spent together before she was captured by Sokar...
...we walked along the ridge of Noctana. There were two moons out that night.
I see it.
You didn't speak of Jolinar leaving.
You both knew it was dangerous but she had to go.
You stayed up all night together.
- Martouf... - Are you OK?
- I wanna try it again. - I should have said this earlier.
I know my personal relationship with Jolinar is a source of discomfort for you.
- Martouf... - I want you to know...
...it has always been my belief that Jolinar kept her experience on Netu a secret...
...because she believed it might come between us.
I don't want you to hold anything back for the same reason.
- You don't have to protect me. - OK.
- Aargh! - Aargh!
Aargh!
Aargh! Aargh!
- Shut it off! Shut it off! - Do it!
I saw someone.
A dark figure. I think it was Sokar.
- The pain was... - I am sorry.
The memory technology can provide very realistic sensory recall.
She was tortured... so badly.
I'm going to turn it on again, but at a lower setting.
She was on a ship like this one.
They put her in a descent pod.
There was a fire... all around. It was hard to breathe.
It's gone... I lost it.
- We will arrive soon. - I know, Martouf.
I'm sorry. Maybe I'm not gonna be able to do this.
You have to.
Hey, Marty. A word?
- Pushin' a little hard, don't you think? - There is not much time left.
It's her father. She knows the stakes.
If she does not remember Jolinar's escape, I will not ask any of you...
- ...to accompany me down to the surface. - Why?
- Anyone who goes will likely not return. - But you're gonna go?
I will attempt to locate Selmak and communicate any information to you.
You will return and relay it to the Tok'ra.
And leave you and Jacob down there to... what? Rot?
With no means of escape...
All right. First of all... Carter's not gonna let you go without her.
Secondly, I won't let it happen. Thirdly, Jolinar escaped...
- But if Samantha cannot recall... - I know. I heard you.
And forgive the bravado. But it's been done before - it can be done again.
You gonna be OK?
Yeah.
It's just so confusing, you know.
Images and faces. Fragments of thoughts and feelings...
There was a Goa'uld on Netu. Not Sokar.
He was, um...
Let's just say he was less than attractive.
I know his name. I... I can't find it.
But I get this... horrible, sick feeling when I remember him.
Something happened between him and Jolinar.
Something worse than the torture and pain.
Something Jolinar never wanted Martouf to find out about.
We have arrived at the coordinates.
You must keep the disc concealed from any denizens we may encounter.
I will leave it on a minimal setting so you may work through memories as we go.
- Is that OK? - Yeah, of course.
- Carter? - Thank you.
Sokar would not send someone down to Netu with weapons.
Yeah. So?
If they're found, the denizens will know we were not sent by Sokar.
We must attempt to blend, so that we will be allowed to move freely as denizens.
OK. We'll attempt to blend. But we're not going down there unarmed.
So, how do we communicate with Teal'c?
We believe this device will penetrate the atmosphere.
- "We believe"? - We should be able to speak to him...
...as long as the ship remains in orbit of the moon.
That's, uh... that's still a long way down.
The pods are launched at a great velocity.
That's supposed to make me feel better?
Heat-dampening shields and anti-gravity wave generators will slow our descent.
So... smooth sailin' all the way, right?
Not exactly, O'Neill.
- Are you prepared? - Uh, no. Not really.
- O'Neill, can you hear me? - Read you, Teal'c.
You are now entering the atmosphere.
Colonel O'Neill?
O'Neill, can you hear me?
Carter?
- Daniel? - Over here!
- This way! - Let's move!
My lungs are burning.
Well, at least it's a dry heat.
Colonel O'Neill, respond.
Yeah, Teal'c. We're in one piece.
Just hang tight and we'll be in touch.
- We should follow this tunnel. - You remember.
Being here helps. It should lead to the underground remains of the old colony.
It's one of the only inhabitable places left.
Is it me, or is it actually getting hotter in here?
- A little of both, probably. - There's something up ahead.
This way.
Well... it's certainly not Emerald City.
Howdy, folks.
We're... new in these parts. I know that's hard to tell, but it's true.
Carter?
Bynarr.
- What does that mean? - It's the name I couldn't remember.
- We've come to see Bynarr. - Who are you?
People of little consequence. Pay no attention to us.
- Kneel before me. - Who's this guy?
He is Na'onak. First prime to Bynarr, Lord of Netu.
- We've come to see Bynarr. - You will not!
- Banish them to the surface. - I... don't... think so.
Back off. Back off a little there, folks.
Who asks for me by name?
I do!
I'm Samantha Carter, host of Jolinar of Malk-shur.
Take their weapons! Throw them in the pit!
Of course. The pit.
Thank you!
Mmm. The smells keep getting better and better, don't they?
This doesn't look encouraging.
I thought weapons weren't allowed. We've seen a staff weapon and a hand device.
- I do not understand it myself. - Surprise, surprise.
Bynarr is Sokar's appointed leader.
He's permitted a hand device and one staff weapon for his first prime.
What made you think Bynarr would be sympathetic to Jolinar?
I was sure he was the one that helped her escape.
Why?
She, um...
I'm sorry.
He's the key. Bynarr may not have knowingly helped Jolinar...
...but I'm sure he must know how she escaped.
Sam...
Dad?
Dad!
- Am I dreaming? - No. No, we're real.
Are you crazy?
Uh, apparently.
- Are you OK? - I've been better.
- Selmak? - He's dying.
This will help.
Hang in there. We're gonna get you outta here.
Marty...
Thank you.
Is he gonna make it?
Not here. Unless we get him out of this place soon, he will die.
It's OK. I'm here.
I am humbled by your presence, my lord Sokar.
Bynarr, Lord of Netu...
...I do not have time to hear of the sufferings of the damned on this day.
Allow me to offer thanks for returning the Tok'ra Jolinar...
...the one who betrayed me, so that I may seek my revenge.
- Of what do you speak? - She arrived today with three others.
I did not send her to you.
They are intruders. Find out what they want... then kill them.
I had hoped to take my revenge on Jolinar slowly, my lord.
To see her suffer in the harshest ways of the damned.
Go now! Report back to me in one day.
- Heed my command. - Without fail, my lord.
A ship brought these intruders.
- Find it and destroy it. - Yes, my lord.
Do you have the strength to speak?
We can relay communication to the Tok'ra council.
Sokar's fleet is ten times larger than we thought.
He is poised to attack six key System Lords. He will win.
He will control an army big enough to rule the galaxy if that is so.
- When is all this supposed to happen? - It was to take place two weeks...
...from the time I was captured. That was... four days ago.
- We must relay this to the Tok'ra now. - Yeah.
Teal'c, come in.
O'Neill, it is I.
We found Jacob. He's in pretty rough shape.
Have you yet determined a means of escape?
Uh, no, not yet. Martouf wants to talk to you, though.
I have a message you must relay to the Tok'ra high council...
...if we do not get out of here.
Samantha Carter.
- You will come with me. - Who's calling?
- Now! - Come and get her yourself, you...
Sir!
- This may be our only way out of here. - How do you figure?
If I can just get close to Bynarr, talk to him...
Move!
Yeah, OK. Go ahead.
Look after my dad.
Enter.
Take it.
You have no symbiote within you.
No.
How, then, do you know of Jolinar?
- I once carried her. - I should have known.
Jolinar would have died on the surface before she showed her face to me again.
Because she betrayed you.
Look what Sokar took from me because of her.
- Where is she now? - She's dead.
You know how she escaped.
I don't. I don't remember.
Why have you come here?
Sam?
- She'll be back. - Where is she?
- She's with Bynarr. - No...
Samantha believes Bynarr is the key to our escape.
- He's Sokar's eyes and ears here. - Well, eye and ears.
- He ensures there are no uprisings. - Keeps the conditions liveable.
And he reports to Sokar regularly. Sokar enjoys hearing about the suffering.
- What's that? - Sokar comes here?
No. Bynarr goes to the planet.
- How do you know? - I saw him there before I was captured.
Do you know how he gets there?
Our most recent addition...
...is the Tok'ra Selmak.
Have you come to rescue him?
Did you think I helped Jolinar to escape?
- Yes. - Why?
Because you loved her.
You are mistaken.
Then why do you hate her so much?
Her death has robbed me of the revenge...
...that I have long dreamed of.
I won't get the same satisfaction from killing you.
But I will get some.
No! Wait!
- You all right? - Yeah. Dad?
He's hanging in there.
There are transportation rings in Bynarr's quarters.
They must lead to Sokar's palace.
Jolinar managed to steal a cargo ship and escape.
The Lord of Netu is dead!
- What's goin' on up there? - Na'onak just killed Bynarr.
- What? Why? - I have no idea.
Bynarr was about to kill me. Na'onak shot him with his staff weapon.
- He just sent me back down here. - The denizens will riot.
- This could be our shot. - To do what?
- The rings go to Sokar's palace. - It's a way outta here.
She was one person, and she had a hand device.
- Leave me. - Uh, Jacob...
You seem to be missing the whole point.
Teal'c.
- Is that possible? - What?
- The cargo ship has rings. - The ring transportation devices...
...work like Stargates over shorter distances. They transmit a matter stream.
- If it is intercepted by another receiver... - Whoa, whoa! Simplify, please.
If Teal'c can manoeuvre into position...
- ...theoretically we can transport aboard. - "Theoretically"?
- How does he find the position? - The mechanism can locate other rings.
Teal'c should be able to detect the coordinates.
I'll take those odds.
Come here.
Teal'c, it's Daniel. Come in. Teal'c, do you copy?
I hear you, Daniel Jackson.
- Teal'c, it's Daniel. Come in. Over. - What are you doing?
I'm just communicating with my friend from this little communication device.
Teal'c, this is Daniel. We need you. Do you copy?
I copy.
This way!
The ring device on the ship should locate the path the matter stream will take.
I will be in position.
Oh, hell.
It's gone. The key that activates the rings is gone.
- Where was the key to be inserted? - Over here.
Can you make it work?
- It will take time. - Take all you need.
Teal'c, we're almost ready. Teal'c, do you copy?
- We gotta go. - Almost.
Get ready!
Teal'c!
- He's not responding. - He said he'd be there.
- If he is not... - He'll be there.
Move away!
OK.
Kneel before Na'onak!
You shall call me Na'onak no longer.
From this day forth...
...I will reclaim my real name:
Apophis.
