"Hey." "With any luck I'll get sick." "With any luck, I'll get sick?" "Lieutenant Rush is a nurse." "She works in the infirmary." "So you were flirting?" "I'm thinking of asking her out." "Then you should." "In Kelowna, it's common for that request to be passed on by a friend." "Oh it is not." "You could at least find out for me if she'd be receptive." "Jonas, you are such a chickenshit." "Unscheduled off world activation." "Who is it?" "The Russian team, Major." "And they're requesting a medical team." "Open the iris." "Page General Hammond and..." "Colonel O'Neill to the Gateroom." "Yes sir." "I thought aliens weren't allowed back to the SGC without prior permission?" "They're not." "Carter?" "What's going on?" "Colonel Iwanow and his team brought this visitor back with them, Sir." "Sergei, who the hell's that?" "I am Alebran." "Alebran has vital information regarding the goa'uld Nirrti." "What about her?" "She is experimenting on my people." "Transforming us." "I knew you would want to know what Nirrti was doing to these people." "Since it was you who allowed her to go free." "Colonel, what's going on?" "Ol' Sergei brought this guy back from 367 without authorisation, Sir." "You'd better have a damn good reason." "General, Sir." "Alebran and his people are innocent victims of the Nirrti." "I felt certain you would wish to act." "Colonel Iwanow has promised you would help us." "Has he now?" "Are you in pain?" "It is nothing that I cannot endure." "Please, I must know if you will help my people." "Sir, with your permission, I'd like to take him to isolation room 3." "Very well." "Come with me." "We found him near the Stargate after we performed a recon of Nirrti's fortress." "Or I should say, he found us." "Alebran has asked for our help to save his people being held prisoner inside." "I thought that she was helping us." "Then I saw one of my people die in such a horrible way I realised..." "When I questioned her methods, she released me." "She let you go." "I was well enough to return home she said." "When I arrived back in the village, everyone was dead." "She lied to us." "Those of us she took away, we were the last of our people." "She was using us." "You look okay to me." "Please, do not be fooled by my appearance." "I spent just as much time within the machine as the others." "I know that I have been changed inside;" "I am not like I was before." "What kind of machine?" "It's one that sees inside of us." "It allows her to manipulate that which we are made of." "If he's talking about some sort of machine that can directly alter human DNA in real time..." "You believe Nirrti is attempting to create a hok'taur." "I am not familiar with that term." "It means advanced human." "Nirrti is most interested in creating the perfect human host in order to increase her power." "So, she's at it again." "No, Sir." "This is worse." "Sam's right." "Up till now, Nirrti's been using eugenics." "Like with Cassandra's people,... selectively breeding only those that demonstrated specific genetic attributes." "With a machine that can alter DNA and a population with which to experiment,..." "Nirrti could create a new host or even alter the DNA of her current one." "A Goa'uld with the powers of a hok'taur." "Obviously we can't let that happen." "As you know, Nirrti does not have the power and resources of the other Goa'uld." "She has only a small number of jaffa in her service." "I believe her capture or if necessary her assassination is quite possible." "Sir?" "Agreed." "Can you get us in that fortress?" "No." "I cannot go back." "We're offering to help your people Alebran." "No, there is no time." "I feel it, something's happening." "Alebran believes Nirrti has the power to kill him even here." "Well what if she does?" "Cassandra." "General, we need to find out if Alebran has a device similar to the one Nirrti placed in Cassandra." "You mean like a bomb?" "Go." "Let's get him into x-ray." "Let's move." "No, it's too late." "Breathe deeply." "Let's go." "Take it easy." "What is happening?" "Several years ago, Nirrti placed... a naquadah device inside a young girl in order to destroy the SGC." "My team can take him back through the Stargate." "No." "These devices are designed to detonate... in close proximity to the Stargate." "You have to kill me." "Just take it easy." "Kill me." "Kill me now!" "Give him a sedative. 2cc's valium." "Please someone tell me what is happening?" "Alebran, we need to take a chest x-ray." "No!" "Get him down." "No!" "Please kill me!" "Arrggghh!" "He starts spitting up water." "Everybody get back!" "Oh, my god." "What happened?" "This is Hammond." "I want a hazmat team to Level 22 elevators immediately." "It's like every cell in his body just broke down." "Nirrti must have written some kind of time delay right into his DNA." "There's nothing we could have done, Sir." "Colonel, how soon can your team be ready?" "Right away, Sir." "I'd like to take SG3 with me as back up." "Very well." "Allow my team to join SG1, General." "I don't think so, Sergei." "Not so fast Colonel." "Sir?" "Lieutenant Colonel Iwanow's team has gathered valuable intelligence that could be useful to you." "My team has scouted the entire area." "I can get you right inside Nirrti's fortress." "Fine." "Get geared up." "Thank you." "General..." "Like it or not a Russian team is operating out of the SGC." "I've been asked to integrate them more fully into our own operations." "Does it have to be with my team?" "Lieutenant Colonel Iwanow is a fine officer." "I'm sure you'll agree." "You'll be in command." "Yes sir." "I'll remind him of that." "So this is the path leading to the fortress." "Guarded by jaffa." "Not many." "Only ten." "All right." "Iwanow, you're with us." "Krawczenko, Zastarowa, stay at the Stargate." "They're well positioned." "We're gonna need a diversion." "Carter, Jonas and Teal´c." "Kree, Jaffa!" "Colonel!" "I got him." "Iwanow, stay out here for now." "Watch our six." "Yes sir." "Colonel." "Please, don't hurt us." "We're not here to hurt anyone." "We've come here to rescue you." "Take you from this place." "No, no, we cannot leave." "One step at a time, Jonas." "Where's Nirrti?" "She is not here." "Are you expecting her back?" "Of course." "For our treatment." "My name is Jonas." "I am Woden." "We've come from a place called Earth." "To help, all of you." "That is not necessary." "Nirrti is helping us." "Excuse me?" "She cares for us." "Nirrti is our God." "Nirrti is of a race called the Goa'uld." "They're parasitical beings that use our kind as hosts." "We are very ill." "Nirrti is curing us of our sickness." "That is most unlikely." "When the God Nirrti came,... a great plague had befallen our people." "We were dying." "With the machine, Nirrti has kept us alive." "Check it out." "Don't take this wrong friend, if this is cured...." "My brother Alebran once looked as I do now." "In time she will make him whole again." "Alebran you say?" "Your brother is dead." "Nirrti allowed him to return to our village." "There's no one left alive at your village." "Alebran told us himself." "Whh...." "Might have been a different Alebran." "It's a popular name." "The point is, we need to know when and where Nirrti's coming back." "Very soon." "And when she comes she will punish you." "Your people were never sick." "Nirrti's been lying to you." "No." "No, the plague ravaged our people long before she came." "Our village was almost wiped out." "It is possible she discovered them in this condition and took advantage of their situation." "She brought me to this place." "She gave me back my life." "You said Nirrti would be returning for your treatments?" "What would happen if you didn't get them?" "We would die." "We must receive treatment by tomorrow." "Their mutations might be unstable." "So what happened to Alebran will most likely happen to them too if they don't go back in that machine." "Sir, this is an incredibly advanced piece of technology." "My guess is that it was built by the Ancients." "Can you figure it out?" "Not by tomorrow." "Maybe with a few days and a lot of help." "We're gonna need Nirrti, Sir." "Yeah." "Figure out what you can." "I'm gonna go brief Iwanow." "Jonas, Teal'c, take these fine folks somewhere where they can be comfortable for a while." "He intends to kill her." "What?" "You are planning to kill Nirrti." "Are you certain, Egar?" "Yes, even now..." "No." "First I intend to ask her in the nicest possible way to undo what she's done to you folks." "You're just gonna have to trust me." "We came here to help you." "Only because you believe you are responsible for what has happened to us." "Do what you can." "Colonel." "Nirrti's not home." "She must have left while we were on Earth." "Well apparently she's coming back." "I want to set up an ambush." "I will inform my men." "Your team will be our back up." "And we have to take her alive." "Right now she's the only one who knows how to run that machine in there." "Very well." "By the way,... did you talk to any of the people in there other than Alebran?" "No." "Why?" "Probably nothing." "I'll relieve you in two hours." "This is where you sleep?" "Yes." "How did you..?" "We cannot allow you to harm Nirrti." "We have no quarrel with your people." "But I must insist you enter this cage." "And I must insist the same of you." "Woden, you're making a mistake." "No, it is you who has made the mistake, Jonas." "She is coming." "Jonas, I'm already stymied here;" "I could really use your help." "Jonas?" "Colonel, Jonas isn't responding on his radio." "Understood." "Jonas, Teal'c?" "Iwanow, this is SG1 niner." "Come in." "Carter, stay put, I'm on my way." "Yes sir." "I'm sure you're aware that a second shot from this weapon will kill." "This weapon kills on the first shot." "Then why haven't you already fired?" "Because I need you alive." "You?" "Yeah I know, it's kinda hard to believe." "But I need you to help these people." "I am helping them." "Yeah, I can see that." "Appearances can be deceiving, Colonel O'Neill." "Now, as I said." "Yeah." "Carter?" "Sir." "I really, really don't like that woman." "Yes sir." "O'Neill." "This is an unpleasant surprise." "Indeed." "Woden's telekinetic." "Took our weapons right out of our hands just by thinking it." "Nirrti is clearly progressing in her attempt to create a hok'taur." "Maybe we're too late?" "No, these genetic manipulations are unstable." "She's not there yet." "Egar's telepathic." "He did know Colonel O'Neill intended on killing Nirrti." "That was not my intention." "Who knows what abilities these others possess?" "I mean, enhanced senses, superhuman strength." "Hey folks,... how you doing?" "Jack O'Neill, Earth." "Listen... originally we came here to rescue you." "But as you can see we've run into a bit of a snag." "So if any of you can bend steel with your bare handsor happen to be... more powerful than a locomotive, just raise your hand." "Identify yourselves." "Let us know where you are." "Must not know what a locomotive is." "Woodman, buddy." "Listen, I think we're dealing with a bit of a misunderstanding here." "Do you really think Nirrti will keep you alive with these powers after she's finished her experiments?" "She's using you." "What'd she do to him?" "You are next." "Ah, I think I'm next." "Nirrti has asked for this one." "And I'm asking for you to take me instead..." "No!" "All right look." "If you really can see in my mind, you know we came here to help you." "I did sense that when you first arrived." "But when I looked deeper into our mind..." "I realised you would sacrifice us all if necessary to destroy Nirrti." "That's not true." "You cannot lie to me." "Come!" "At least I'll find out how the machine works." "Major Carter." "I am pleased to have such an excellent subject." "I might even consider you for my new host." "Over my dead body." "True, that is far more likely." "Now, step inside." "Now, let's see what you're made of." "Colonel." "I'm sorry." "I should never have allowed myself to be captured." "Did you get a message off to your team?" "I tried." "But my radio..." "Yanked right out of your hand?" "Yes." "And at the same moment I was struck by a zat'nik'tel that appeared from nowhere." "My team would follow their standing orders to return to base if we were out of contact for this long." "Perhaps General Hammond will send reinforcements." "Hopefully it won't come to that." "What they do to you up there?" "I don't know for how long I was in the machine for what she did... but something is different." "We'll get out of this." "Where is Major Carter?" "Enough." "She has served her purpose." "Bring me the one called Jonas." "Carter." "Come on." "Hey fellas!" "Want to do me a favour." "Go on back, let her know that I'm next,... you should pick me." "Her will is my command." "Yeah, well, there's your mistake right there." "Jonas." "You didn't see that coming, did you?" "Do not attempt that again." "Carter?" "Sir." "You made it through." "You're gonna be all right." "No sir, I don't think I am." "We have not met." "No, but I have heard a lot about you." "You are not human." "I'm human." "I'm just not from Earth." "A Goa'uld like yourself took my ancestors from Earth thousands of years ago and enslaved them." "Sadly it was not I." "Those few thousand years on another world have changed you more than you know." "You in pain?" "Something is happening." "I can feel it." "Is there water?" "We'll ask." "Try to rest." "I have been attempting to communicate with the other prisoners." "But they also believe Nirrti is a God." "They will not listen." "He's in pretty bad shape." "He appears to be suffering the same symptoms as Alebran." "We got to get to that guy... what's his name?" "Woden." "No the other one." "Egar." "Yeah." "I mean if he can read my mind, why can't he read Nirrti's?" "He can't read minds all the time or he would have known Jonas was gonna jump him." "Perhaps he is afraid to look into the mind of one he perceives as a God." "What?" "Nothing, I'm fine." "Get some rest." "That's an order." "Why did you bring me here?" "Because you are different." "How's that?" "You are much closer than the others." "With my help you could complete the transformation." "And end up looking like those others?" "No." "I assure you." "You must know, that you are capable of much more than the petty tasks... that life among the Tau'ri can offer." "I like my life the way it is." "I could make you more powerful than you could imagine." "Powers you have seen in Woden and the others." "Only a fraction of what I could give you." "Well... that is definitely the most interesting offer I've had in a very long time." "But you can't risk giving me those kind of powers unless you're certain I won't use them against you." "Once I share those powers we could rule the galaxy together." "What about everyone else?" "They are not necessary." "Well, I can only imagine what it would be like to have powers like that." "What would I do?" "I guess the first thing..." "I would do would be to free my friends and all those other people you have caged up down there." "And then I would destroy you." "Not necessarily in that order but you get the idea." "Take him away and bring O'Neill." "Once you have seen what has already happened to the others perhaps you will change your mind." "Iwanow?" "Dead." "Just like Alebran." "Yeah that's right, Nirrti killed your brother." "Go ahead, take a look in my mind if you don't believe me." "Better yet, look into Nirrti's head." "That is forbidden." "No kidding." "Because she's hiding something." "She is a God." "She would know." "She would not know because she is not a God." "O'Neill is next." "Look, she just killed a good man." "She's gonna do the same thing to the rest of us." "Together you're stronger than she is, you just don't realise it." "You know, you're right." "I did want to kill her." "But if you'd look into her mind for a split second, you'd want to do the same thing for what she's done to your people." "You should not have come here O'Neill." "Can you undo what you've done to Carter?" "If I choose to." "I let you go once." "We made a deal, I honoured it." "I told you then I would not have done the same." "Fix what you've done to Carter, let the rest of my team go, that's all I ask." "You can do whatever you want to me." "Yes, Colonel." "I can." "Stop!" "What he says is true." "My brother?" "She murdered him." "She has murdered hundreds of our people." "And she intends to do the same to us." "Jaffa, kree!" "I command you!" "Woden..." "Stop!" "I am your God." "We need her alive." "Woden, she's the only one who can help your people." "I can make you more powerful than your wildest dreams." "Why did you do that?" "She deserves to die." "She was Carter's only chance." "Not so O'Neill." "Before she died, I looked into Nirrti's mind... and took what I needed." "Hurry, while there is still time." "Sir." "It is done." "You are as you were before." "Thank you" "Yes, thank you." "We can all be as we were before now... that you have shown us the truth." "Hail Dorothy." "The Wicked Witch is dead." "t's a movie, Margaret Hamilton." "Point is, with Nirrti gone you can get back to your lives, rebuild your village." "We can help you out with food and supplies, get you back on track." "Once we get to know each other a little better, I'd really like a chance to study this machine." "As soon as we have made our people whole again, we intend to destroy it." "But this is an incredibly advanced piece of technology." "Carter... don't you think it would be for the best?" "Yes, sir." "I guess it would." "To Oz." "Part of that movie."
