Narrator: Previously,
onstargate sg—1.

Teal'c: Gerak emerged
as spokesperson

for the more traditional ways
of the jaf'fa high council.

Which he could control.

Carter: It's symbiote poison.

The trust launched
at least two poison attacks

against goa'uld—occupied
worlds after we took back the gate.

That means they had to leave
the relatively safe confines

of the solar system, and
head out into the galaxy

where they ran the risk
of being killed or captured.

You think they have been taken
as hostage and sent back to earth.

Any Goa'uld who got his hands on
them would've discovered pretty quickly

that they belong to a
top secret organization

with high—level connections to some
of the most powerful governments

and institutions on this planet.

By now, the entire trust
could have been taken over.

(Panting)

(Grunting)

(Tires screeching)

The body was discovered
this morning on a remote road

off interstate 77 in Virginia.

He was spotted
by a passing motorist.

Local authorities say he'd
been dead about a day or so.

Probably the victim
of a hit—and—run driver.

What do we figure?
This guy got lost,

and he was hitching
a ride back to chulak?

His presence on earth
is a mystery to me.

He was found literally
in the middle of nowhere

about 3 miles north of a
little town called Edison,

population 3,012.

The symbol on his forehead indicates
that he was a servant of lord yu,

many of whom now follow gerak.

Gerak might be able to
shed some light on this.

I will speakto him. Very well.

Colonel Mitchell,
you're with Teal'c.

Dr. Jackson,
I want you to dig up

all the information you
can on Edison, Virginia.

Colonel Carter will join you
as soon as she's settled in.

Whoa, Sam, hey, come on. Let
me—— let me give you a hand.

Thank you.

So general Landry briefed
me on the circumstances

surrounding our mystery Jaffa.

Yeah, I think I got
something on that.

Farrow—marshall?

Yeah, you familiar with them?

They're an aeronautics firm
headquartered in Bethesda,

the department of defense
is their biggest client.

Yeah, it turns out that their plant in
Virginia employed about 800 residents

of Edison until it closed
down six months ago.

Now, it's located
just outside of town,

and about a mile and a half from
where our dead Jaffa turned up.

Really?

Pardon the mess.
I'm still unpacking.

Farrow—marshall.

Let's see what
they've been up to lately.

Here we go.

Their chieffinancial officer
went missing yesterday morning.

Interesting timing. Yeah.

According to his wife, he left for a
business meeting in Richmond, Virginia,

and never came back.

(Whirring)

Gerak: Make no
mistake, brothers.

The tok'ra only wish to meet
with us because they fear us.

We defeated the Goa'uld

and took their mother ships
and strongholds.

Now, we are our own masters.

I needn't remind the council
that the tok'ra did battle

with the Goa'uld
for just as many years.

Their efforts were instrumental
in securing our freedom.

Let us all be clear.

The only motivation
that a tok'ra has

is their own selfish needs,
not to help any of us.

Then what do you suggest, gerak?

That we use our newfound
strength to take what we want.

That we emulate
our former oppressors.

Brothers and sisters,

we finally have
the opportunity to govern

with authority and respect.

Years ago,
that seemed unthinkable.

But now we are in a position
to help others

who are in need
of our support and guidance.

Why should we help them?

How about because

it's the right thing to do?

Look, whatever your differences
with the tok'ra in the past,

it's time to move on.

Teal'c's right. You kicked
ass. You're sitting pretty.

Don't get hung up...

Outsiders are not permitted
to address the council.

Never mind.

I caution you all.

We have fought too long and too
hard to entrust our future to the tok'ra.

Or the ta u'ri for that matter.

Brothers and sisters, I suggest
we bring this assembly to an end.

Let us consider
what we've discussed

and reconvene in the morning.

Very well.

Gerak, a word.

(Ch uckling)

Teal'c. Welcome back to dakara.

Your presence is sorely missed.

What, uh, draws you away
from your tau'ri home?

A Jaffa was discovered
on earth. Dead.

Strange.

But, uh, what has that
got to do with me?

He was a servant of lord yu's

and, I assumed,
a follower of yours.

Well, that may be.

But, uh, I don't seem
to recognize him.

Nor do I know what
he's doing on earth.

My obligation to the council
requires my presence elsewhere.

I'm sure you understand.

He is lying to us.

No kidding.

It was about six months ago
when he started acting strangely.

What do you mean, strangely?

Cold, distant.

You've gotta understand, Alex
has always been incredibly focused

when it comes to his job.

At first I just assumed
he had a lot on his plate.

But after a couple of weeks it
became clear that it was more than that.

I started to suspect
he might be having an affair.

So I hired a private investigator
and I had him followed.

And what did
the investigator find out?

I'm not sure, exactly.

But a couple of days after
accepting the job, he quit,

returned all of my money and
strongly suggested that I drop the matter.

He didn't offer you
any kind of explanation?

No. But it was obvious
he was scared.

He did some surveillance
in his first two days.

These are the photos
that he took.

He asked for them back
after a couple of days,

right after he dropped
the case, but I refused.

I offered them to the police,

but they didn't think the photos
were pertinent to their investigation.

My husband wasn't
having an affair.

But he was clearly involved in
something that he wanted to keep secret.

Do you mind
if we hold on to these?

No, go ahead.

(Chains rattling)

He still refuses to speak?

The prisoner is strong.

Then we must
be stronger, yat'yir.

(Electricity buzzing)

It was through instruments
like this we were oppressed.

And how appropriate
would it be, then,

for it to be used
to serve our cause.

You will surrender your secrets.

Ofthat I am sure.

Colonel Carter?
Charlotte Mayfield.

Vp here at farrow—marshall.
How can I help you?

I wanted to ask you a few
questions about your plant in Virginia.

It was shut down six months ago.

Officially, yes.

But we went by to check it out

and it looked like it had been
cleaned out very recently.

I'm not sure
what you're getting at.

Some of the residents of
Edison claim they saw trucks

traveling to and from the
plant a couple of nights ago.

They're mistaken.

So you're saying no one's been
in the area for several months?

Well, I can't speak
for the locals,

but certainly no one from farrow—marshall
would have any reason to go there.

How about Richmond?

Anyone from farrow—marshall
have reason to go there?

According to his wife,
Alex Jameson was on his way

to Richmond, Virginia,
when he went missing.

We've cooperated
with the local authorities

on Mr. Jameson's disappearance.

You may wanna consult with them.

Who was Mr. Jameson
meeting with that day?

I'm 5 o rry I

company policy prevents me
from discussing that with you.

Your cfo is missing.

Now I would think
that you would want to do

everything within your
power to help find him.

Oh, I do.

As I said, we're cooperating
with the authorities.

Now if you'll excuse me,
I——I think we're done here.

These gentlemen
will show you out.

If you have
any further questions,

feel free to fax them
to the head office.

You can be sure
that's not the end of it.

Of course not.

We've only just begun.

Jackson: I coordinated with kerry
Johnson and the CIA's investigation

into the n.I.D.—trust
connection.

We've done a little digging and
managed to put names to some of the faces

from the photographs
Sheila Jameson provided.

That's David Ballard, chairman
of the stark consortium.

This is masato Hiro,
ceo, far east mercantile.

James Lowery and Tony tran,

president and chief financial
officer, alaraph pharmaceuticals.

This one is Michael northrop, ceo
and founder of hammel technologies.

Now, all the individuals we've
managed to identify so far

are major players in the areas
of business and high finance.

Very powerful, very influential,
and in the case of these two,

very missing. Missing?

Terrence Evans
and William blaylock,

founding partners of
procyon media enterprises.

They went missing
about six months ago,

coincidentally
around the same time

we managed to destroy
the osiris'ship.

You see a possible
Goa'uld connection here?

Well, we already know
that sometime last year

the Goa'uld successfully
infiltrated the trust.

And I know that
the trust has connections

to government agencies
and corporations worldwide.

There's a good chance
we didn't get them all,

and if that's the case, the
Goa'uld are still on earth

and they're gaining strength.

Let me guess, they
didn't know anything either.

As gerak grows stronger,
few Jaffa risk defying him

for fear of retribution.

We must leave dakara and
seek our answers elsewhere.

Ka'lel: The answers
you seek are on earth.

What do you know
of the Jaffa we discovered?

He lost his life trying
to secure gerak's prize.

Of what prize do you speak?

Ba'al.

Ba'al is on earth?

That is where he sought refuge
immediately following his defeat

in the battle for dakara.

He has been there ever since.

Landry: You're telling me a
member of the Jaffa high council

claims that ba'al has
been here on earth

for the better part
of the last nine months?

Yes, sir. Is there any
chance she may be right?

My information suggests that ba'al
has been hiding in the archeva system.

He has been sighted there
as recently as a week ago.

So the council member is either lying
or she's a victim of bad intelligence.

Not all bad, sir.

They knew enough to look for
ba'al at a trust—operated facility.

If he were on earth that
would be the best place to start.

If the Jaffa genuinely
believe ba'al to be on earth

they will continue
to search for him.

Well, that's obviously
unacceptable.

Tell the council we've
begun our own investigation.

If he's here, we'll find him.

It would not be in gerak's best
interest to allow that to happen.

Why?

Ba'al's capture would be
a big moral victory

as well as a huge political
gain for whoever brings him in.

Teal'c: Should gerak be
successful,

he would win the hearts
of many undecided Jaffa,

thereby assuring undisputed
influence over the council.

So all we have to do is
find ba'al before they do.

Yeah, but gerak
has a head start.

The fact that the
company cfo went missing

around the same time
that the Jaffa was killed.

You thinkjameson was at the plant
when they came looking for ba'al.

In which case, he may
well have been captured.

He has revealed ba'al's location

and the locations of his
various shelters on earth.

He should never have invented
such an effective means of torture.

(Moaning)

(Droning)

(People shouting)

Man: Come on. Come on.

Yes!

(Static buzzing)

Where is the false god, ba'al?

We've been compromised.

(Screaming)

They're five floors above us.

I know. We're leaving.

Hello?

I'd like to report a whole
lot of shooting here, okay?

So? Those offices
were a war zone.

Staff weapons versus
semi—automatics.

Who won? Hard to say.

There was no bodies and all
the security footage was missing.

Witnesses? One.

Some guy who was
working overtime

and spent most of the
firefight under his desk.

But was able to provide a
description ofthree individuals.

Big. Tattooed. Chain—mail pants.

So, it's either our Jaffa
or kiss is back on tour.

I have something to show
you. We've just received this.

Ahhough it's a far cry

from some of the better worlds
I've conquered in my days,

this planet is not
without its charm.

That's, uh... ba'al.

In retrospect, I'm actually glad we
never succeeded in destroying it.

That said, earth is not
without its drawbacks.

The foremost being
an alarming lack of privacy.

My ships have been seized,
my armies vanquished.

I no longer present
a threat to this galaxy.

All I ask is to be left alone
without having to worry about you,

the Jaffa, or any of my former
enemies coming after me.

So, I'd like to offer
the following deal.

Allow me to live out the rest of
my days here on earth in peace,

without interference.

In exchange for my freedom,

I will follow your laws.

You will never have cause
to fear me again.

I hope we can put
the past behind us.

I certainly have no desire to harm
you or anyone else on this world.

That said,

you should know that I've
placed a naquadah bomb

somewhere in the United States.

Conflderh
a precautionary measure.

Ifanother attempt
is made to capture me,

I promise you, the
consequences will be most dire.

Of all the retirement
destinations he could choose

he has to pick our planet.

We have teams outfitted
with naquadah detectors

in several major urban centers,

but there's no way we can
cover the whole country.

The prometheus has instruments

which can detect naquadah
from orbit, does it not?

Yes, but so far
the scans have come up empty.

So it could be a bluff.

Or ba'al may have found a way to
shield the bomb from our sensors.

Jackson: Bluffing or not,
he's still a threat.

As de facto head
of the trust operations,

he has the resources and
capabilities to do a lot of damage.

Naquadah bomb or not.

So, problem number one,
how do we find him?

Problem number two, how do we take him
out without inflicting collateral damage?

Jackson: A good point. Ba'al's
probably surrounded by security,

no doubt most of them human
with no knowledge of his true identity.

If we go after him, we risk
injuring innocent people.

Not if we use the symbiote
poison the tok'ra developed.

We already know it won't
harm human physiology.

And with the right delivery
system, nothing but net. Nice.

I'll contact r and d, see
what they can put together.

Which leaves us
with problem number one.

The n.I.D.'S running
surveillance on the individuals

identified in the photographs
with Jameson.

Hopefully, eventually one
of them will lead us to ba'al.

Of equal concern
are gerak's Jaffa.

We have no control over them.

If they decide to move on ba'al,

earth will face
ba'al's full reprisal.

And I'm guessing

those Jaffa aren't exactly
kicking it back at the local Denny's.

Plus, isn't it a long, stinky ride
from dakara in a cargo ship?

Indeed.

It is more likely
that gerak has a mother ship

somewhere in
the vicinity of earth.

Well, if the prometheus was going
to detect the naquadah from orbit,

it would have done it by now.

All right.

I'll send them out
to look for the mother ship.

Colonel Mitchell, I want
you and Teal'c on board.

Colonel Carter, Dr. Jackson,
you coordinate with the n.I.D.

In the event they locate
ba'al, I want you there.

Hey, wait up.

All right. That's better.

(Door opening)

Gentlemen, welcome
aboard. Thank you, sir.

Any word from NORAD?
Ssn came up empty.

Could the ship we're
looking for be cloaked?

Mother ships do not
possess cloaking capabilities.

Well, then, could we be
looking for another type of craft?

It is possible.

Whatever the target ship,
if it's out there, we'll find it.

Agent Barrett.
Thanks for the lift.

Well, I couldn't
exactly have you guys

catching a cab to the
stakeout now, could I?

So, what's the latest?

Well, one of our agents
following the Jameson lead

spotted an individual
matching ba'al's description

at the gilbride hotel on
5th street about an hour ago.

Looks like we got him.

You picking up anything
at all? Unusual variances?

Anomalous energy
readings? No, sir.

You know, it's possible what
we're looking for isn't even out there.

It is possible, but unlikely.

If gerak believed
ba'al to be on earth,

he would undoubtedly establish a
base of operations in planetary orbit.

Great. So where is it?

Hiding in plain sight.

What was that?

Right.

Colonel pendergast, plot a
course for the far side of the moon.

Do it.

What's the situation?

They're still inside.

Room 1602.
All the exits are covered.

We're just waiting
for the green light.

Dr. Jackson,
you go with Williams.

(Clicking)

(Clearing throat)

How have you been?

Pretty good. You?

Yeah, pretty good.
Can't complain.

What's new?

Uh, let's see,

I was leading r and d
for a while there.

I never figured you the
type to settle for a deskjob.

I needed something
with more flexible hours.

Janet's adopted daughter, Cassie,
was going through a hard time.

Oh, I see.

Spent some time on the prometheus,
away on deep-space reconnaissance.

Helped stop a dangerous new enemy
from gaining a foothold in the galaxy.

Yes, I heard about that.

How's Pete?

We broke up.

Really?

I mean, I'm sorry to hear that.

It's the best thing
for both of us.

So you're single again.

Not exactly.

(Droning)

Sir, I'm picking up
a large energy signature.

Lock on target.
Marks: Target locked.

Sir, we're receiving a
communication from the mother ship.

Let's see it.

(Beeping)

Withdraw, or we will be
forced to defend ourselves.

Sorry. We're not going anywhere.

Come on, where are they?

Barrett on radio:
Abort. All agents abort.

What's going on?
He's not inside.

If we move now, we risk
compromising the operation.

Barrett, you better be
damn sure about this.

We're sure. Let them
go and come to the Van.

(Door opening)

Sam. It wasn't him.

How do you know? Because
he can't be in two places at once.

Ba'al is across town right now
doing a live television interview.

What? Thank you, that's
a very good question.

My acquisition
of hammel technologies

and its subsidiaries
is just a first step

in a long—range venture
that will ultimately see

a consolidation
and a streamlining

of what is presently
a dissolute market.

No doubt most of you have
never heard of me before today.

Well, I can assure you
that over the next few months

you will all
get to know me very well.

And I look forward to it.

This is colonel pendergast
of the earth ship prometheus

asking you to stand down.

We have no desire
to engage in battle,

but we will not
withdraw our forces.

Look, we know why you're here.

Then you also know that I have no
choice but to maintain my present position.

Okay, fyi,

we're not gonna let you put any
more men on the planet's surface.

If you fire on our ship,
we will defend ourselves.

Teal'c: Yat'yir, hear me.

You and your Jaffa
are at a disadvantage,

knowing neither territory
nor its inhabitants.

Allow us to assist you
in apprehending ba'al.

We can both lay claim
to his capture.

Then all Jaffa can declare
freedom and celebrate as one.

I'm afraid we are past the point

where our differences
can be settled so readily.

I'm sorry, Teal'c.

(Clearing throat)

Meanwhile, they've still
got boots on the ground.

Nothing we can do about that.

Perhaps we can.

Can, how?
By forcing gerak's hand.

Yes, sir.

Our orders are to stay put
for the time being.

You've got to be kidding me.

Come on, we know
where he is. We've got him.

Yes, ba'al has made it easier
for us to pinpoint his location.

But unfortunately, by going public
he's made it more difficult for us

to take him down quickly
and covertly.

We make a move against him
now and we risk a media circus.

Unless, of course, you feel like giving
the American people a Stargate primer.

And then there's also the
little matter of a naquadah bomb

sitting somewhere in the
continental United States.

Yeah.

Okay. Okay, we'll stay.

The general's consulting
with the Pentagon

to determine what
our next move should be.

Teal'c: Ifthere is one thing
a Jaffa values above all else,

it is his pride.

When the other
council members discover

that gerak has not been
completely forthcoming,

they will turn against him
and force his hand.

Gerak must be shamed into
removing his forces from earth.

It is the only way.

Your turf, your rules, brother.

Gerak: No matter how far
we must travel,

no matter how long it will take,

our former enemies
must pay for their crimes.

This, I promise you.
That we will destroy them.

Not only just in memory
of those who have fallen,

but in honor of those who
survived to enjoy their freedom.

You speak of honor, gerak.

Yet you disrespect this council
by dishonoring it with your lies.

I have not lied to this council.

It is you that I have
purposely misled,

for fear that your commitment
to the cause is suspect.

Even as we speak,

gerak's followers are
hunting ba'al on earth.

Ofthis we are well aware.

Gerak: I had wished to inform
the council sooner, but I dared not

for fear that the elements
sympathetic to the tau'ri

would learn about
ba'al's whereabouts.

You dare question my loyalty?

Ka'lel: Your loyalty is not
under question, Teal'c.

You have done more than anyone
to help secure our freedom

and for that
we are ever grateful.

However, your allegiance
to the tau'ri presents you

with a difficult dilemma.

Even as we speak,

your tau'ri ships prevent us
from pursuing the enemy.

As you have said, ka'lel,

I accomplished much in our long
struggle against our former oppressors,

but only because of
the support of the tau'ri.

Their commitment was
as unwavering as my own.

And now you would repay them by
surreptitiously stealing upon their world,

putting their people, to say nothing
of the Stargate program, at risk!

They are our allies.

Rather than dishonor them
by trespassing onto their world,

respect them enough
to tell them the truth.

Ask for their assistance in
capturing ba'al. They will help us.

But will they?

They are as determined to have
ba'al answer for his crimes, as are we.

But if they succeed...

Then he will be brought
before this council

where he will face
his proper punishment!

You have my word.

What the hell are you thinking?
There ain't no guarantee

the us government is
going to give them ba'al.

It was only to give gerak
pause before his next attack

against ba'al on earth.

Even so, we may have
only gained a brief respite.

(Metallic grating)

Satellite tracking
has placed ba'al

mammme heavily guarded
compound west of the city.

From the site of the press conference
directly to his present location,

hetook no evasive maneuvers,

made absolutely no attempt
to disguise his movements.

Teal'c: Clearly, he's
emboldened by the belief

that you would not dare attack him now
that he has made himselfa public figure.

I've had Walter patch in
colonel Carter and Dr. Jackson.

Everybody up to date?

We have a cruise missile
prepped with symbiote poison

and ready to launch
on your command.

General, I recommend
we launch now.

It may be
the last chance we get.

What if he isn't bluffing
about the naquadah bomb?

Then we'll have stopped him before
he has a chance to plant any more.

We'll have to come up
with a cover story.

Wouldn't be the first time.

We must strike now,

before ba'al realizes
his strategy has backfired.

And the council?

I merely promised he would
be delivered if captured.

If he is killed,
then there is no difficulty.

Right. Good work.

What's the news?

Stargate command
intends to attack.

How can you be certain?

The humans that set up the trust

were in a position to infiltrate much
of the secure communications network

employed by this government.

How clever of them.

You got something else
for me, Walter? Yes, sir.

We just got this sent to us.

You have chosen not to heed my
warning, and so forced my hand.

There is a bomb in the halcyon
tower in downtown Seattle.

It will detonate at exactly
1:30 pm. Local time.

Call off your strike
on my location

and I will defuse the device.

Defy me,

and this will bejust the first
of many such demonstrations.

Forty—five minutes.

The building is being evacuated.
Mobile units have been dispatched.

Yes, sir. Understood, sir.

Agent Barrett, have your men tighten
their perimeter around the compound.

No one in or out.

Daniel, once the missile
hits, you'll have to go in

and make sure
we have a confirmed kill.

Why? Where are
you gonna be? Seattle.

How the hell
are you gonna get there?

Prometheus. Beats flying coach.

(Police sirens wailing)

(People chattering)

(Static buzzing)

Colonel Carter. Have
you located the bomb?

We're unable to get
a fix on its location.

Multiple signals. Is it possible
there's more than one device?

Well, we're not sure.

Wipe the hard drives
and destroy the equipment.

I want nothing left.

The Jaffa. They
found us. Time to go.

Colonel Carter and her team are
still searching. No sign of the bomb yet.

Sir, Dr. Jackson reports
Jaffa at the target site.

They've engaged
the compound guards.

Let's not hesitate,
general Landry.

Launch the missile.

Yes, sir. Launching Alpha two.

It doesn't make any sense.

It's like there's
naquadah everywhere.

How old is this building?

It's brand new.
It just went up last month.

Get me a secure line
to Stargate command, now.

Sir, I've got colonel Carter.

Colonel, did you find the
bomb? Carter: Sort of.

What's that supposed to mean?

Readings indicate the entire
superstructure of the building

is laced with naquadah.

It was built that way. Ba'al's
been planning this for a long time.

I'm not sure
I understand, colonel.

The bomb isn't
in the building, sir.

The bomb is the building.

Harriman: Missile is locked on.

(Beeping)

Sir, we have a confirmed hit
on the location.

Agent Barrett and his team
are moving in to secure the area.

Sam, that naquadah ain't
gonna go up on its own.

There's gotta be
a detonator there.

I agree,
but it could be anywhere.

Inside a wall, under a floor.
We'd never find it in time.

How much progress have
you made on the evacuation?

We've cleared
a five—block radius,

but when this thing goes off,

a five—mile radius isn't
going to be enough.

Landry: There's not much
you can do about that now.

I'll contact prometheus, have them
beam you and your team out of there.

Wait. That's it. Prometheus.

Sergeant. Sir.

Patch me through
to colonel pendergast.

Cam, what can I do for you?

Ineed a little help moving.

(Alarm buzzing)

Pen dergast: It worked. The
building detonated at a safe distance.

Sir, I've got Dr. Jackson.

Jackson: General. What's
happening out there, doctor?

I'm sorry to report, sir,
it looks like ba'al escaped.

(Sighing)

The old ways will
no longer serve us.

Gerak's ways are not
the ways of the future.

(All murmuring)

How dare you?

How dare you step foot
in this council chamber!

Why should I pause to return?

Tell me, Teal'c. Because
you disregarded my warnings.

Because your rash actions
not only allowed ba'al to escape,

but cost the lives
of many of our brothers.

They did not die in vain.

My rash actions were
necessary, I'm sure you'll agree.

Yes, you may muse
about what might have been.

But the fact remains, it was
my men who captured ba'al.

Enjoy your short—lived
taste of freedom.

You were born slaves.
And slaves you will die.

(Electricity surging)

(Groaning)

(People chattering)

Ba'al did not escape.

He was captured
by gerak's forces.

Well, yes and no.

He was dragged into the council
chamber and executed before my very eyes.

There is no doubt.
Carter: Teal'c,

we secured ba'al's compound
and searched the premises.

In the basement we discovered a
lab containing equipment and data

related to genetic replication.

It's very possible the ba'al you
saw die in dakara was just a clone.

The real ba'al could
still be out there.

Hey! Where are you going?

To take a much needed rest.

Don't you think you
should go back to dakara,

let those Jaffa know the truth?

No.

To reveal this at this time would
seem little more than an attempt

to tarnish gerak's
hard—fought victory.

Teal'c, it's the truth.

Regardless,
they will not listen.

For the time being,
their hearts belong to gerak.

At present, there are
more questions than answers

in the events surrounding
the gas line explosion

that claimed the halcyon tower
in downtown Seattle.

What we do know so far is that at
approximately twelve forty five this afternoon

local fire and emergency crews
were dispatched to the scene.

An evacuation order was given

and the building and
surrounding areas were evacuated.

Two hours later, when reporters
were permitted to return to the area,

all that remained
was a heap of rubble.

Surrounded as it was
by taller high—rises,

there were no eyewitnesses
to the building's destruction.

No one saw
or heard the explosion,

and as a result,
conspiracy theories abound.

Some have pointed out that the amount of
rubble at the site is significantly less...

Over 600 channels
and nothing to watch.

I think I'll turn in.

We have a big day
ahead of us tomorrow.
