"Another here!" "Medic!" "He's still breathing." "Sam!" "Mitchell!" "We have Bra'tac here." "He's in rough shape!" " Doctor Jackson, we have numerous bodies here." " How many?" "I don't know." "Oh my God!" "Cam!" "Medic!" "It's Teal'c." "Stargate SG-1" " Season 10 Episode 17 "Talion"" "Synchronisation :" "Draco, Flo, Golgi, Ricana." "Relecture :" "Golgi." "h" "I'm tired of this rhetoric!" "How long can we talk of reforming councils and ridiculous trade policies?" "The Ori are taking our planets by force." "Dividing our people through religious idealogy and fear." " We must fight back, now!" " We all agree, Mas'al." "That is why we are here." "But entering into a war, without leadership, without proper organization, would merely be mass suicide." "We must learn from our mistakes in overthrowing the Goa'uld." "For generations, we have plotted and fought for our emancipation..." "But never once did we plan for what we would do with that freedom after it was ours." "The resulting infighting in the weeks after our victory over the Goa'uld would leave us with this vulnerability at the hands of the Ori." "Nice to see you conscious again." " How long have I been...?" " You've been out for quite a while." "About two weeks." "It was pretty touch and go there." "Took three rounds of surgery, just to stop the bleeding and repair the damage to your spine." "Have to admit I was more than a little worried that you wouldn't walk again, but it looks like you're gonna pull through this." "The others will be glad to here that you're awake." "At least one of them has pretty much been here ever since they brought you in." "Of course, I don't know where they are right now." " He was awake for a few minutes." " Does he know about Bra'tac?" "I barely have had a chance to tell him what he's been through and what he's going to have to go through to get him back onto his feet that matter." "Been there." "It's not a good place." "Hey!" "What has transpired?" "Doctor Lam thinks you should rest." "We need you to be on your feet and back in fighting form as soon as possible." "Tell me." "We counted 32 dead and 12 more critically injured." "Most of the villagers have scattered to the hills." "When you didn't check in, we came to investigate." "We can't be sure, but it looks like three separate explosive devices are responsible for the damage." " And what of Bra'tac?" " He survived." "If he is here, then I wish to see him." " Teal'c, you're in no condition..." " Now!" "Listen." "You are very lucky to be alive..." "Give it some time." "Is he badly injured?" "I wish I could tell you that he was gonna come outta this... but right now, I just don't know." "For generations, we have plotted and fought for our emancipation and never once did we plan for what we would do with that freedom, after it was ours." " Teal'c." " General Landry." "I have received further intelligence from Jaffa with close ties to Par'non, the Jaffa that organized the summit." " And?" " It is believed that the Jaffa named Arkad is responsible." "I have knowledge of him." "We once engaged in battle as opposing First Primes." "He is a warrior without honour." "Which would explain why he chose to bomb a peaceful leadership summit." "It is believed that Arkad has slowly and quietly been building support for himself as a new leader." "A leader that will deliver the Jaffa nation into the hands of the Ori." "So he would obviously be opposed to the organizing of a council, also mean't to lead the Jaffa." " Especially one that was intending to unite them against the Ori." " Arkad is dangerous and must be eliminated." " Teal'c!" " General Landry!" "Arkad must be found and killed before any more innocent Jaffa are senselessly slaughtered." "I'm not going to order you and SG1 to hunt down and kill someone, based on what seems to be rumour at this point!" "Would you be so cautious, General Landry, if it had been a team of Humans that had been killed in that bombing." "I know what you're going through right now, so I'm gonna let that pass." "Arkad is a monster." "In the past he has existed soley on the fringes, but now, if he is allowed to continue to use fear and tyranny to gain control of a significant Jaffa army and a fleet of ships, believe me," "he will become as much an issue for Earth as anyone else in the galaxy." "Teal'c, you've done a tremendous job getting back on your feet, but Doctor Lam is saying you're not ready for active duty just yet." " I'm asking you to give it a little more time!" " I have given it enough time!" "The ressourses of this facility are not going to be used to fulfil one mans personal revenge." "I'm just sayin', if Arkan is responsible" " and Teal'c is right about him being a bad man" " I've already issued a new memo to all teams, to consider the investigation a top priority." "I don't think a memo is gonna cut it as far as Teal'c is concerned, sir." " I take it you've tried to talk him outta leaving." " Yes, sir." "Like sticking my foot out to trip a freight train." " I can't say that I blame him, sir." " I don't either." "He's here of his own free will." "He can leave if he wants to." "So, I was thinking." "We could zat him, toss him in a holding cell until he comes to his senses." " I was thinking, it's not too late to go with him." " I offered." "He doesn't want us to." "He said he would stay in touch." "Let us know what he learnt." "You don't really believe that." "My father says the sticks honour those who died." "Indeed." "Do you know who did this?" " Yes." " My father says they are cowards." "They must pay with their lives." "They will." "I promise you." "Uh, help!" "Help!" "Need some help in here!" " He's awake" " That's a good sign." "Lets extubate." "Just relax." "It'll be a little difficult for you to speak right away." "Go away!" "Teal'c of the Tauri." "Don't think I don't know who you are." "What do you know of the bombing at Dar Eshkalon?" "A bunch of Jaffa died." "Don't expect me to shed a tear for you and your kind." "I don't care what you and your friends from the Tauri have done." "You Jaffa enslaved my people for generations." "And don't tell me you were only following orders from your masters." "You lived like Kings compared to us and don't think that we will soon forget." "I rejoice." "Rejoice... at the sight of you murdering each other like the fools that you are!" " Tell me what you know." " You think anything you do at this point, really matters?" "We are all fodder for the Ori." "I saw a man with a scar across his face at Dar Eshkalon." " He purchased explosives on this planet." " You wanna buy something for me." "I think we can work out a deal." "I can pretty much get you anything you want." "I want a name and where I can find him." "Or what?" "You'll kill me?" "You'll get nothing!" "You underestimate the satisfaction I will get from your suffering." "He was a student of mine for a while." "I knew from the beginning, that there was something wrong with him." "I underestimated him once." "Never again." "Teal'c and I both faced him in battle many times." "Many times we managed to defeat his armies..." " but he always escaped." " Yeah." "Sounds like a real charmer." " You know what, you're tired." "You should rest." " No." "There is more I have not told you." "Has Teal'c ever spoken of his Mother?" " Not much." "I know she's dead." " Teal'c's Mother was killed, shortly after Teal'c commanded an embarrassing victory over Arkad's fleet." "The murder was never resolved." "For no apparent reason, someone slipped into her village and slit her throat in the night." "And Teal'c believed it was Arkad's revenge for the defeat." "It was never proven." "But still knowing Teal'c, I mean, why didn't he go after Arkad, immediately?" "He was first pride of Apophis at the time." "Teal'c's actions were chosen for him." "No, given what Arkad has done, Teal'c will stop at nothing to bring an end to him." "Yeah, that doesn't sound like any great loss." "As long as it is Teal'c that is the victor." " Where's your confirmation coming from?" " SG22 recon, sir." "I thought you should hear this." "We've been maintaining contact with anti-Ori rebels on PAT-365." "That's a predominately Jaffa planet that's already succumbed to ori control." "Right." "This group we've been monitoring, opposes Ori occupation." "Quietly, so far, but is keeping us apprised of their intentions." "Anyway." "They say several hundred Jaffa, including a few of their inside men, are regularly being ferried by mothership to another planet, to mine raw naquadah." "That makes sense." "The Ori warriors will be able to make ships, weapons, supergates." "Yes, but here's the interesting part." "The Jaffa say, this is not being done for the Ori." " At least, not directly." " Well, how is that possible." "It's an Ori planet." "Somebody's building weapons right under their noses?" "Apparently, a Jaffa named Arkad has muscled his way in to a relationship with the Ori." "Says he'll police the planet, get even more Jaffa planets to fall in line." "Well that's in line with the intel we have." "Yes, it seems Arkad is planning a fairly major play to impress his new friends." "Word floating round is that this weapons grade naquadah is being stockpiled in various locations, for use by Arkad in a coordinated attack on Earth." "Torture me all you want." "I tell you nothing." "Though you hide among Humans, I know you are Jaffa." "That is your symbiote lying on the ground in front of you." "I serve the Ori." "When I die," "I will ascend and join them in everlasting glory." " That is untrue." " You will not convince me otherwise." "That is most unfortunate." "I have medicine" " that would save your life, should you tell me what I wish to know." " Never." "Then, there are some things that you should know." "The Ori do not ascend their followers." "Arkad is a coward who will die by my hand." "Also, I have inplanted an explosive device within your symbiote pouch." "It is set to detonate within a matter of moments." "It was the same explosive that you used to kill 12 warriors, 18 innocent bystanders and 2 children, who had gathered for a peaceful summit." "They were sinners all, who chose the path of evil." "Ten seconds." "Where are you going?" "I am leaving." "You are about to explode." "So, what does this Arkad have to gain by attacking Earth." "Maybe he's trying to up his street cred." "It could be revenge." "It's possible he blames us for what happened at Dakara." "For all we know, it was the Ori who instructed him to try to weaken our resolve." "They must know, a direct attack on Earth is risky, because of the Antarctic defence system." "Well, right now we have no way of detecting, let alone stopping, a cloaked cargo ship." "They could go after whatever targets they want." "Not to mention casualties that would be created that would throw the rest of the planet into chaos." "Primed and ready for an Ori attack." "I thought the Jaffa were all about honour and meeting their enemy on the battlefield." " Yeah, apparently not this guy." " So what do we do?" " Sounds to me like Teal'c has the right idea." " Unscheduled offworld activation!" " Sounds to me like Teal'c has the right idea." " Unscheduled offworld activation!" " Receiving a transmission, sir." " On screen." "Warriors of the Tauri." "I bid you greetings." "This is General Landry of Stargate Command." "To whom am I speaking?" "My name is Arkad." "I am the leader of the Illagrenan." "That's Ancient." "Loosely translated it means 'Kingdom Of The Path'" "What can we do for you?" "I wish to be granted safe passage to your planet, so that we may meet in person and discuss certain issues that concern us both." "By now you have undoubtedly learned of a plot to brazenly strike at your planet in a most cowardly manner." "I want to offer my assistance, as I believe" "I am uniquely capable of stopping this most dishonourable attack." "He no doubt fed you the information about the attack, so that he could then claim to be the one who could prevent it." "Yeah, we figured that, but what we don't know, is why." "And given the very real threat that's out there, the IOA wants us to hear what he has to say." "He is a serpent!" "You must not trust him." " I'll let you know how it goes." " I already know." "Nothing good will come of it." "Arkad, I'm sure you know of SG1." "Lt Col's Mitchell and Carter, Doctor Daniel Jackson and Vala Mal Doran." "It's an honour to finally meet you all in person." " I have looked forward to this day for some time." " Let's sit down, shall we?" "Then Teal'c is not here?" "We have not had the pleasure of seeing each other in many years." "We couldn't guarantee your safety if he was here." "Surely he does not still hold a grudge for past battles we once waged in the name of former false Gods?" "No, I think it has more to do with recent events." "I assume you are referring to the tragedy at Dar Eshkalon." "Yeah!" "In which your good buddy, Teal'c, came this close to dying." "Bra'tac sends his regards as well." "Don't think he'll mind me speaking for him, when I say that he'd like to stab you in the eye with a really big knife." " 32 other Jaffa weren't nearly as lucky as they were." " You must understand, all of you, that there are those out there, who would have me falsely accused of such cowardly actions." "So you're saying that you had nothing to do with it." "I fully admit I was against the gathering." "But those in attendance were forming a council that would directly oppose my campaign" " to lead all Jaffa." " Into the arms of the Ori." "The reason we fought for freedom is so we could believe in what we want and not be subjugated by anyone." "And you don't see the Ori as forcing their beliefs on you?" "I see Origin as an organized religion and the source of salvation all of Jaffa has always sought." " I think we're getting a little off point here." " I agree." "I assure you, no matter what our philosophical differences," "I would never authorize the type of attack that befell the summit of Dar Eshkalon." "But you just happen to know some guys, less respectable, less honourable than yourself, who took matters into their own hands." "As a matter of fact, yes." "And I have learned of similar attacks against your planet being planned by a radical sect of Jaffa, who see the Tauri as a powerful force in the galaxy." "Who oppose our peaceful movement" " toward embracing Origin." " And you can stop them." "Yes, I believe I can." "I do not agree with their tactics, but at least we see eye to eye in basic beliefs." "I can use my influence and my resources to choke off their ability to function effectively." "Or you can fund them and allow them to do your dirty work for you, while you take the political high road." "Let's cut the crap!" "We all know you're here for one reason." "Make your demands!" "I have no demands." "I understand your mistrust." "Please, I implore you, believe me when I say I will use all of my vast resources at my disposal to thwart this most heinous threat to your world." "All I ask in return is that you allow the Jaffa people to believe in what they choose." "If they decide to follow in the ways of the Illagrenan, that should be up to them." "If you feel it is your responsibility to do battle with the Ori on behalf of the Humans of this galaxy," " then that is your perogative." " Stay out of your way and you won't attack us." "General, my fleet is more powerful than any Goa'uld has ever marshalled, by tenfold." "If I was to attack this planet, it would not be in the manner currently being planned by these radicals and it would not heed well for you." "Really?" "You don't say." "Whether or not help our people ever see eye to eye," "I would like to believe that they could co-exist peacefully." "Your planet has played an instrumental role in the very reshaping of the nature of the galaxy." "I merely wish to avoid any unpleasant conflicts between our two respective nations, before they arise." "I take my leave." "I told you where to find Ba'Kal." "He's the Jaffa scum that I sold the explosives to." "That's all I know." "I do not believe you." " I don't know anything about Arkad." " You despise Jaffa." "You might protect him." " I'm not afraid to die." " I have no intention of killing you." "Not until you tell me where to find Arkad." "Why should I tell you anything, knowing death is my reward?" "That may sound sensible for the moment, but believe me, in time, you will change your mind." "The IOA is taking the threat of these attacks against Earth very seriously." " So, what do they want us to do?" " Nothing as far as Arkad is concerned." " Sir?" " They want us to leave him alone for now." "Let him go about his business." "We're supposed to let him muscle us?" "Obviously, we need to assess his capability." "Determine if these threats are credible and whose really behind them." "If we can prove that Arkad does pose a direct threat to our security..." "I'm sorry..sir, we're supposed to what, find WMD's in his back pocket?" "Right at the moment, we need to play the intelligence game!" "Not get into an all out war with an enemy that may have the capability to inflict severe damage on us." "We need to find out what we can." " We're on it, sir." " Not so fast, Colonel." "I plan to put a number of teams on it right away, but at the moment," "I have another mission for you." "In his mind, Teal'c may have severed his connections with us when he set out to kill Arkad." "But he's been part of the SGC, so he'll be perceived as acting on our behalf." "If he succeeds in killing Arkad, even if he tries and fails, it will be hard to convince people that he was acting alone." "So you want us to try and stop him." "The IOA is adamant that Earth and specifically the SGC, take no action against Arkad." "I've been charged with ordering you to find Teal'c and stop him at all costs." "Hey, no-one really thinks that Arkad gave the SGC the where abouts of his homebase of operations, out of diplomatic courtesey." "What, you think he did it to draw us into a trap?" "Well that, but it's more likely that he knew that if anyone was determined to find him, they could and he wanted to make sure that we'd be blamed in the event of an attack against him." "Regardless of whether we were behind it." "Speaking of determined." "Has anyone thought about the speech they're gonna give to Teal'c?" "No, I didn't think so." "Odyssey, this is Mitchell." "We are down." "Alright, everybody knows what to do." "Field generators are in place." "Trip sensors are ready." "I'm glad you're so sure about this plan." "One way or the other, you know he's coming." "He'll want the element of surprise, so I figure he'll" " use a cloaked ship, try to sneak in the back way." " Well that's what we would do." "Exactly." "He just doesn't know we're gonna try and stop him." "You know, regardless of who's gonna try and stop him, this is Teal'c we're talking about." "You know, Bra'tac seems to think that if it suits Arkad to attack Earth, he'll do so no matter what his agreement with us." "It's possible he just didn't want us coming after him yet." "So he leaks the information about the plot, pretends to act towards stopping the attack and with the time that he's bought, gets his chicks in a row." "That's a pretty good theory and it's ducks, by the way." "Anyway, problem is, we have to prove it to the IOA." "Well, what would be the harm in us just, whoops, failing to stop Teal'c from killing Arkad?" "It wouldn't be entirely on purpose and not out of accidental incompetence, either," " if you catch my drift." " Yes." "Nudge, nudge." "Wink, wink." " But if Arkad is the one planning these attacks, I think our best chance of stopping them" " is keeping Arkad alive." " Why's that?" "He may be the only one that knows all the pieces to the puzzle." " Good point." " Thank you!" "How do we get Arkad to tell us all the pieces of the puzzle?" "Well that's the easy part." "See, we capture him, lock him in a room and threaten to let Teal'c kill him." " Genius!" " Thank you." " It has occurred to you that it could take days before he shows up?" " Yep!" "He could also have been here already and killed Arkad, for all we know." "Half of SG3 is watching the gate." "We'll get some activity, one way or the other." "Speaking of which..." "Colonel Reynolds, come in." "SG3, you've missed your scheduled check-in." "Please respond." "Stay here." "Hey!" "Somebody got to Baker and Reynolds." "They're unconscious, but they're still alive." "Hey, Teal'c?" "!" "Teal'c, I know you're out there, buddy!" "If you can hear me, I don't know what you think's going on here, but we're here to help!" "Ok, that was a lie and I feel terrible about it!" "I hate myself!" "Why have you set a trap for me, Colonel Mitchell." "Trap?" "That's crazy talk, man!" " Why would we set a trap for you?" " I intend on killing Arkad." "Do not try and stop me." " Why would we set a trap for you?" " I intend on killing Arkad." "Do not try and stop me." "Teal'c, it's Daniel, listen, just hear me out!" "Teal'c, it's Daniel, listen, just hear me out!" "Now apparently, there's a radical group of Jaffa poised to attack Earth." "Arkad claims to have the means to stop them and he says he'll help us if you leave him alone." "Arkad claims to have the means to stop them and he says he'll help us if you leave him alone." " It is likely Arkad is behind those attacks!" " Yes, I know, I know, we figured as much, but" " It is likely Arkad is behind those attacks!" " Yes, I know, I know, we figured as much, but we just think it's best for ourselves and you if we all just step back and consider all the angles!" "I am not acting on behalf of Earth." "The IOA is worried it may still look that way." "Unfortunately, that is no longer my concern." "I will avenge the deaths of the Jaffa at Dar Eshkalon." "Arkad must die, no matter what the consequences." "I do not wish to harm any of you, but if you try and stop me, I will." " So, now what?" " Well he's gotta be heading for the pyramid." "Drop the stick." "Drop... the stick." " I do not wish to harm you, Colonel Mitchell." " Then drop the stick." "You know, I don't think anyone here wants to get harmed." "Probably me, more than you." "Come on, Teal'c..." "Ok." "Alright." "We can talk about this." "The time for talk is over, Colonel Mitchell." "After all these years, still as predictable as ever." "Leave!" "You've gotten old and slow." "Get up!" "I remember when you were a true warrior." "The pride of Apophis." "Feared by all those who opposed you." "Do you remember, Teal'c, how powerful you were then?" "Do you remember, Ko'ak?" "You had us on the run." "You bombarded the planet from space and you left no survivors!" "I lost my parents that day." "My sister." "Yet I still admired you." "One day, I thought," "I thought I would be so brave." "I would have the courage to bring my enemies to their knees, like the great Jaffa warrior, Teal'c." "Fight!" "Look at you now." "A legend." "You defeated the mighty Goa'uld, themselves." "You brought freedom to all Jaffa." "You gave us the chance to seek salvation, but you, you rejected it yourself." "Your punishment must be to have gotten so soft and frail." "Have you spent so much time with Humans, that you've become so much like them?" "It's a shame, you won't live to see me bring the Tauri to their knees." "Before you die, I want you to know the truth." "I had my revenge for the day that you attacked Ko'ak and you slaughtered my family." "I killed your Mother." "Teal'c!" "There was a time, when you would have come away from such a battle, without a scratch." "I am alive." "Arkad is not." "Indeed." "Just finished reading your report, Colonel." " Everything in order, sir?" " Arkad set a trap for you, took you prisoner and you were fortunate Teal'c was there to rescue you." "Arkad was killed and Teal'c injured in the process." "Yes sir, that's what it says." "This is gonna be a tough pill for the IOA to swallow, son." "I believe I also mentioned that Arkad admitted to planning the attacks and they were gonna go through with them, regardless of what we do." "Yes." "Too bad you weren't able to learn more." "Arkad took credit for the murder of my Mother." "If he was responsible, he was too much a coward to do it himself." "The one who did, died by my hand." "You never told me." " Still..." "Arkad got what he deserved." " There are many more as corrupt as he was." "And we will hunt them until they are no more." "I would not like to be the one who opposes you." "I have learned from the best, old friend." "I have not said this to you before and I should have." "You are the son I never had." "I could not be more proud." "* Rapidity *" "* Effectivenes *"
