" George." " Jacob." "Colonel O'Neill..." "Teal'c..." "Daniel." "Sam." " How are you doing, kid?" " OK, Dad." "So, you guys are the talk of the Tok'ra water cooler." " For what?" " Kicking some major Hathor behind." "Yes, we do take pride in good work." "But that's not why you're here?" "No." "We need your help." "You need our help?" "With what?" "Let's just call it a Goa'uld hunt." "(high-pitched whirring)" "(beeps)" " (Daniel) It's fascinating." " (Sam) No kidding!" "A projected hologram with no silver-halide-coated plates, no..." "I was talking about what's being projected." "It's like a... family tree of the ancient Egyptian gods." "Actually, of the Goa'uld System Lords." "(Daniel) Ra, Apophis, Hathor, Heru-Ur..." "The symbol of Setesh is oscillating." "That is the symbol for Setesh." " Have you met him, too?" " I have met descendants of his Jaffa." "All right." "Who's this Setesh fella?" "Otherwise known as Setekh..." "Set, Seti, Seth." "Ancient Egyptian god of chaos." "Embodies hostility and... outright evil." "Why haven't we heard of him before?" "We haven't met all the System Lords." "There's probably thousands more, right?" "Only dozens of System Lords." "Thousands of Goa'ulds in general." " What makes you think we met this one?" " The Tok'ra have taken a Goa'uld census." "Where the System Lords are positioned, what domain they rule,... ..who serves under them, that sort of thing." "But there's one Goa'uld we've lost track of." "Seth?" "A record of him ends when the Earth's gate was buried in ancient Egypt." "Are you saying he never left?" "That's our theory." "We think he still might be here, hiding among Earth's people." "We'll be cuttin' to the chase on this one." "You want us to find this snake-head who, if he's here,... ..would be hiding in one of six billion people on Earth?" "Yes." " How do you know he's alive?" " If he has a sarcophagus." "Or if he changes hosts every 400 years or so." "But why wouldn't he have tried to get at the Stargate... ..between when it was buried and now?" "Or why wouldn't he try to take over the Earth like Ra?" "Seth had a price on his head - he tried to overthrow Ra." "Now the System Lords wanted him dead, as did the Tok'ra." "We believe if he's still here it's because he's using Earth as a hideout." "He wishes to hide among you." "Kinda gives "needle in a haystack" a whole new meaning." "Well..." "I know it's a long shot." "Not necessarily." "Remember, Setesh is a Goa'uld." " Yeah." " As a Goa'uld he thirsts for power." "They have a common MO for getting that power." "False religion." "Which shrinks the proverbial haystack considerably." "Let me see if I can track him through archaeological and historical record." "Do it." "Dad, you don't really think we have a chance of finding this Goa'uld, do you?" " It's the mission Garshaw assigned me." " You didn't request it?" " Dad?" " (laughs) Why would I request it?" "C'mon!" "Would it be so awful to admit that you just wanted to see me?" "Of course not - you're right." "That's why I requested it." "OK, so that's obviously not the reason." "What's going on?" "(distorted) I requested the assignment." " Selmak!" " Nice to see you again, Captain Carter." "Likewise." "So, let me ask you the same question." "Your father has an unresolved issue on your planet, and it irritates me." "Mark." "Yes." "Your father's a proud man." "He refuses to seek out your brother and mend the relationship." "Yeah." "Well, Mark hasn't exactly rushed into my father's arms either." "Even when we thought Dad was gonna die." "It hurt your father deeply when his son didn't come to him on his deathbed." "(undistorted) Why "hurt"?" "As far as I was concerned the kid wasn't my son any more." "It didn't hurt a bit." "Dad..." "I have a number for Mark in San Diego." "So?" "I just thought you might wanna know." " When was the last time you saw him?" " Not since his kids were born." "He paints me with the same brush as he does you." "Well, Selmak's pushing me to go mend some fences." "I guess Selmak is as wise as they say." "I'll go with you." "When?" "I didn't say I'd go." "I just said Selmak's pushing it." "So, what's the bad news?" " On the contrary, we have good news." " (Sam) You do?" "I did a time-line Boolean search for religion, cult, Set, Setesh, Setekh, Seth..." "Yadda..." "Here's what I found." "There's been a cult of Setesh in one form or another since around 1000 BC." " What is that?" " Oh, yeah, that." "Well..." "Setesh was represented by an animal, either fictitious or now extinct,... ..most likely the former,... since anthropologists haven't found any fossils to point to a species like this." "Because the creature represents Setesh, the helmets of the Setesh guard... ..are the source of many jokes among the Jaffa." "Jaffa jokes?" "Let's hear one of them!" "I shall attempt to translate one, O'Neill." "A serpent guard, a Horus guard and a Setesh guard meet on a neutral planet." "It is a tense moment." "The serpent guard's eyes glow." "The Horus guard's beak glistens." "The Setesh guard's nose drips." "OK!" "After Set was supposedly killed in ancient Egypt with all his minions,... ..a similar god showed up in Greece called Typhon." "Similar back-stories." "Another fictitious animal representation." "In a legend he killed 300 followers and then disappeared from Greece." "At that point he seemed to have vanished from history, until I found this." "A new cult arose in England in the early 1800s,... ..strangely enough near the location of Stonehenge." "The cult had an enigmatic leader named Seth." "And this is the important part." "Seth's worshippers were found dead, having slit their own throats." "But Seth's body was never found." " Liked to leave a lot of dead bodies." " Did you lose the scent there?" "I thought so, until I searched the US government classified net... ..in case the CIA had a record of..." "something, somewhere." "And guess what came up on the ATF page." ""A cult whose leader is named Seth."" "Just north of Seattle." "The ATF are investigating him now because they're so heavily armed." "This guy has about 50 followers ready to die for him." "You mean to say you actually found this guy?" "How do we know he's our Goa'uld?" "Deprogrammed ex-members of the cult describe Seth as having magical powers." "They claim he's murdered members in front of the others." "Here's the best part." ""Several independent reports state the cult leader can make his own eyes glow."" "That's the place." "Main building's about three quarters of a mile up that drive." "I hope you can shut these guys down." "I had a lot of parents come in my office - they lost their kids to this nut." "I haven't got the manpower or the, uh..." "probable cause that you federal types do." "Well, we'll do what we can, Sheriff." "Appreciate you lettin' us look around." "(two-way radio) Sheriff." "We got a fight breaking out at Earl's." "Duty calls." "Now, uh... you don't need me gettin' in your way." "Gimme a call if you need me." "(O'Neill) Will do." "You people the fbi?" "No." "Who are you?" "Jason Levinson." "I've been camping here the past month,... ..hoping to catch a glimpse of my boy, Tommy." "At least know he's still alive." "He's been in there nine months now." "You folks deprogrammers?" "You gotta be good." "The guy I hired got shot in the leg trying to get in there." "So they've got some armed guards?" "A lot of them." "What's that damn small-town sheriff do about it?" "Nothing." "Not a damn thing." "You're the father, aren't you?" "Your boy's in there." "No, no." "You've got that wrong." "My son isn't in there." "Uh-huh." "How much would you tack on to get my boy out the same time as his?" "You help us, we might be able to help you." "I'm with you, sir." "That won't be necessary, but any information you might have..." "What your guy did, where he got caught..." "You got it." "The fence is in the wide open, and most of the property." "But I'll show you a brush cover, if you wanna go in." "O'Neill." "We are being surveilled." "Yeah, I saw 'em." "It's probably fbi." "Maybe ATF." "You guys are prepared." "I'm goin' with you." "I think it'd be safer for everyone if you wait for us here." "AK-47s,... ..a couple of Uzis..." "Anyone think they observed the 1 5-day waiting period for those weapons?" "Sir, their side arms." "I think it's safe to say there's a Goa'uld there." "And... it looks like a pair of .50-cals." "Does the concept of overkill mean anything to anybody?" "Let's fall back to the RV point." "Lower your weapons!" "I was wondering when you folks were gonna show." "We got bets" " I say fbi, they say ATF." "Special Agent James Hamner, ATF." "Damn!" "General." "Wanna tell me what interest the Air Force has here?" "That would be classified." "This way, gentlemen." "Are you guys Special Forces?" "(O'Neill) Also classified." "I was talking to your commanding officer." "He's right." "It's classified." "I have top-level clearance." "Oh, not top enough." "You have a rather insubordinate subordinate, General." "Not to me." "Only to people such as yourself." "Saves me the trouble." "Now maybe you could tell us what you and your cohorts are planning." "This compound is owned by a cult run by a guy by the name of Seth Fargough." "Recent intelligence confirms they have a hoard of prohibited weaponry." "That's some mighty fine intelligence you got there." "(Jacob) What do you plan to do?" "Negotiate, try to get 'em to come out peacefully." "You have no idea what you're dealing with." "And I suppose you do(?" ")" " As a matter of fact..." " Great!" "Then why don't you tell me?" "Uh, that would be... classified, as well." "Fine!" "Well, I'll tell you what." "The United States Air Force has not been invited to participate." "You're out of your jurisdiction." "Leave, or I'll have you arrested." "This is a secure phone, isn't it?" "Can we use it to place one call?" "Why not?" "Thank you." "Colonel?" "Jack, based on Seth's history,... ..if these guys go in there guns blazing, he's gonna kill everyone in there." "Jacob, can we assume brainwashing is going on in there?" "It's probably Nish'ta." "It's a biological compound that, once inhaled,... ..infects all body tissue, including your brain." "It tends to make your mind extremely pliable." " That's like what Hathor used." " It's stronger." "It's more encompassing." "I believe that is the substance Apophis used on Rya'c." " Can it be reversed?" " Nish'ta does have an Achilles heel." "Once its effects are reversed, it can't re-infect the host." "They become immune." "OK, well, how do we reverse it?" "There's only one way:" "an electrical shock." "Strong enough to kill the organism, but weak enough not to kill the host." "That is why it worked when I shot Rya'c with a zat'n'ktel." "Then... we go in with zats." "Well, it's not going to be very covert that way." "And, like I said, any kind of frontal attack is gonna be a problem." "Daniel's right, sir." "With all the fire power he's got, we wouldn't stand much of a chance anyway." "(rings)" "Hamner." "Yes, Mr President." "Yes, sir, I am the SRO." "Yes, sir, they are here, sir, but..." "With respect, sir, the jurisdictional rules are clear." "This is a civilian matter." "Are you sure you wanna do that, sir?" "Yes, Mr President." "Get Colonel O'Neill in here." "Something I can do for you?" " What's going on?" " Didn't you say you know more than I do?" "Well, apparently not." "I just got off the phone with the President." "Of the United States of America?" "Sweet." "How's he doin'?" " He seems to have a thing for you." " Yeah, well... you know." "In fact, I'm to issue you an emergency "special agent" credential." "He's put you in charge of this operation." "Excellent!" "My first order of business:" "Get me one of those cool jackets!" "Extra large." "Double-XL, if you got it." "Wanna tell me why the Air Force cares so much about this cult?" "Wanna do me a favour?" "On your way out, send my team in." "Your team." "It's an odd bunch of people, Colonel." "Civilian scientists." "This Seth guy got some secret weapon you don't want the world to know about?" "All right, listen." "Since you have clearance, I'll throw you a bone." "Seth and his boys got some top-secret technology... ..that we would prefer not fall into the public consciousness just yet." " Comprehend?" " Yeah." "Good." " Now, you've heard of classified." " You got it." "Thank you." "Did General Hammond involve the President, sir?" "Oh yeah!" "He's put me in charge here for the time being." "What do you suggest, O'Neill?" "Well, I'm thinkin' we need to get in there." " OK, how?" " The floor is open." "I was thinking about that." "If Seth's MO hasn't changed,... ..we know certain things from digs in Giza." "We do?" "Leaders built their compounds with underground escape tunnels." "Correct." "Apophis had them built into his facilities." "OK, so we should do a perimeter search and look for those tunnel entrances." "That's a lot of territory." "We'll have Mr Hamner's men help us." "O'Neill!" "OK." "We've got a point of entry." "Now what?" "As soon as we get near anyone on the inside, we could get shot." "Or worse, dosed with that organism, and suddenly we're working for Seth." "It won't work on me or Teal'c." "But he'll sense you're Goa'ulds as soon as you're within 50 feet." "With the arsenal he's got we wouldn't even get close to him." "Which is why you're not going in." "Dad, you said an electrical shock, like a zat gun, would snap us out of it." "Yeah." "Sir, I think I have an idea." "Gimme a test count." "One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four Mississippi, five..." "Carter?" "It'll work, sir, assuming Dad's right." "Dad?" "If the jolt is big enough." "But you'll have to let the Nish'ta spread through all your tissues... ..or it'll regain a stronghold." "Gimme a ten-count." " Uh... one, two, three, four..." " That's good." " You ready for yours, Captain?" " One second." "OK, Teal'c, push the button." " Aagh!" " Hey!" " OK?" " OK." "Wire me." "Daniel, you're certain that if we get caught... ..he'll turn us into zombies rather than kill us?" "Well, we're more valuable to him that way." "Why?" "How do you think he'll use us?" "Historically, he used women as a harem." "They catered to his every whim and as a result they were well cared for." " Super(!" ")" " And the men outside the main court... ..were used as warriors and guards, doing his bidding." "Dare I ask about the men inside the compound?" "They were turned into eunuchs." "Eunuchs as in "snippety-doo-dah"?" "Sweet." "(clang)" " (O'Neill) Daniel?" " What?" "Now what?" "Why are you asking me?" "Well, y...you knew there'd be tunnels, so..." "Well, in the digs there were stairs leading up to the main structure." "I hate it when that happens." "Hey!" "(distorted) Welcome!" "Who are you?" "Well, I'm Larry, this is Moe and, of course, everyone's favourite, Curly." "Say goodbye to your impure military past." "We're always happy to welcome new disciples... ..to the bliss that only Seth can bestow." "(O'Neill coughs)" "So help me, if I wake up and I'm singing soprano..." "(woman) Welcome, disciple." "How are you feeling?" " OK." "Pretty good." " Good." "Do you feel strong enough to serve your god, Seth?" "Yes, of course." "This way." "They are awake." " Shall I activate the devices?" " (distorted) No." "We must wait to be sure the Nish'ta has permeated their tissues." " How long?" " About an hour." "It's a smart virus." "If there's any unaffected tissue in the body... ..it will give the organism a safe harbour in which to mutate." " Then it will overtake your body again." " Excuse me." "Mind if I watch?" "I mean, my son's in there." "I just wanna be involved." "I'm afraid I can't let you in here, sir." "I'm sorry." "Yeah." "Figured." " Grab a cup of coffee?" " Sure." "Go ahead." "Ow!" "Sorry." "Sorry." "It won't happen again." "I've just been kinda short-fused..." "since I found out about Tommy." "I understand." "I had to find out from his college roommate cos, uh... ..Tommy and me hadn't been talking for six months." "I do not understand." "How could a father not speak to his son for so long?" "Yeah, that's the funny thing about it:" "I don't even remember why." "Obviously something pretty stupid in the scheme of things." "I'll get out of your hair." "Do human parents not love their children unconditionally?" "Sometimes things get complicated." "Many things are complicated, General Carter." "In Jaffa society, loving one's children is not one of them." "In human society, sometimes it is." "With these weapons I have provided... ..we will defend against any incursion by the impure forces outside our gate." "Let no other gods draw you away from Seth!" "Seth is life." "Seth is happiness." "Seth is almighty." "Again." "Seth is life." "Seth is happiness." "Seth is almighty." " Again!" " Seth is life." "Seth is happiness." "Seth is almighty." "You were once blended." "Were you not?" "!" "Blended?" "No entry marks." "But still... ..l sense a trace." "Bring me those who came with her!" "General Carter, there is a problem." " What?" " It's nothing we can't handle." " He made your people, didn't he?" " We don't know yet." "Who sent you?" "The System Lords?" "The Tok'ra?" "I am your god!" "You will tell me what I want to know!" "Who does your military work for?" "The System Lords or the Tok'ra?" "I have a vague recollection of what you're talking about." "The Tok'ra." "Is it not time enough?" "(distorted) No choice." "Do it now!" "(electricity crackles)" "We work for a deprogrammer who hired us to come remove one of your disciples." "But now we are enjoying the bliss that is Seth." "How is it possible that you enjoy the bliss,... ..when you are able to lie to Seth?" "My Lord, the impure forces that you have prophesied... ..are surrounding the compound." "You will pay eternally for bringing this down upon us." "Take them and kill them." "Go!" "A quick question about old Seth." " What happened?" " It's OK." "We're here to help you." "We must distribute them all over the compound." "We cannot allow the impure access to all we have built up here." "Um..." "Daniel." "Tom." " Levinson?" " Yeah." "Uh, I'm really confused." "Who are you?" "We're friends of your father." " Where are the zats?" " Zats?" "These." " Can you activate those transport rings?" " I think so." "Tom, I need you to start transporting people outta here." "Can you handle that?" "I..." "I guess." "Good." "I have to prepare for the worst." "If I don't act, it's on me if they get killed." "It won't be on you." "It'll be on me." "It will reside on me also." "Go!" "Carter!" "Go with 'em." "Make sure they get outta here." "OK, I think I've been very patient." "Let's get all the medical teams up here stat!" "Get some blankets and shoes!" "C'mon, you guys, get in here!" "OK!" "C'mon, let's go!" "This way!" "C'mon!" "(Seth) How dare you challenge the power that is Seth?" "(roars)" "(beeps)" "(beeping)" " Bomb?" " Bomb." "Tommy?" "Tommy." "General Carter!" "Our friends have been neutralised." "I must go in." " Selmak would be of help." " Who's Selmak?" "It's a long story." "(O'Neill) This way!" "Teal'c!" "Cover the other ends." "Make sure he doesn't get out another way." "Dad?" "Where are you going?" "Setesh used the hand device on O'Neill and Daniel." "Are you OK?" "I'm fine." "Carter!" "He's down here!" "(distorted) Setesh!" "Tok'ra kree chok!" " Dad!" " Your father will survive." " Stop Seth." " How?" "I can't control this." "You have the will within you." "You must summon it." "Hey!" "You killed him." "Hail Dorothy." "Visiontext subtitles:" "Rachel Thompson"
