Original subtitles

Let's go, captain!

Those flyers are comin' back around!

This man's alive!

We can not wait!

Not all Goa'uld are the same.

I am jolinar of malkshur.

Jolinar is wanted in Goa'uld town.

He claims to be part of the tok'ra.

Resistance.

The tok'ra is a small alliance of Goa'uld

who oppose the system lords.

I will never, never trust a Goa'uld.

Kree'shak,

by decree of the Goa'uld system lords,

you will die with dishonor.

My death only feeds the fire

that burns strong in the tok'ra.

Sam! Sam.

Goa'uld gave its life for me.

Saved me.

Jacob Carter.

Carter?

As in my father, sir. Yes.

George told me you were up for the air medal

for your work in——what the hell was that again?

Deep space radar telemetry.

Right.

I have cancer, Sam.

What? Lymphoma.

God. Dad.

This thing's gonna go on for months,

so you don't have to check up on me tomorrow or anything.

Dad, please don't go like this.

Dad!

You have to activate the chaapa'ai.

Quickly, jolinar!

Jolinar, hurry!

I think I might have found something.

You don'tthink it was just a dream?

No, sir. It was real. I could tell.

You could tell?

Yes, sir. I don't know how, exactly, but I could tell.

So we're supposed to buy into this...

E.s.p., or whatever it is?

O'Neill, when a Goa'uld infests its host,

their minds intermingle. Become as one.

It is possible that portions of jolinar of malkshur

remain in captain Carter's mind.

These tok'ra were on the run.

They may be in trouble.

Now, if we want to find them again,

we should findthem before they move on.

They may still be at these coordinates.

Now, you said their eyes glowed.

Are you really sure thatthese tok'ra

are what jolinar said they were?

I mean, good guys, for lack of a better word.

Yes.

Yes? Just yes?

Could you elaborate a little?

I'm sorry, colonel.

I know it's hard to understand.

I don't really understand it myself, but I am sure.

I——I just know.

According to Jaffa legend,

the tok'ra are the Goa'uld resistance.

Their stated goal

is the destruction of the system lords,

and a change in the ways of the empire.

They are hunted and despised by the Goa'uld.

Yes. My kind of guys.

General Hammond, if I may?

My vision is the only lead we have to go on.

Shouldn't we at least check it out

before they move on?

Colonel?

General?

I'm prepared to send sg—I through

to the coordinates captain Carter saw

in her vision, if you agree.

Colonel, I know you're skeptical about these things,

but I am confident that I'm right on this one.

Let's check it out.

Colonel, is it all right if I catch up with you?

We leave in 10.

Only need 5.

Dad. Hi. It's me——sam.

What do you mean, why am I calling, dad?

You justtold me you have cancer. You can't—...

All right. Ok, never mind.

Listen, uh, I'm about to go on a little trip.

Yes, it's for the air force.

It's not important where I'm going, dad.

What's important is that I may be gone a while,

and I just wanted to call

and see how you were doing.

You're sure?

Your father?

Yes, sir.

How is Jacob?

He claims he's ok.

Notthat he'd tell me if he weren't.

Did you know he actually got an apartment here in town?

He wanted to be closer to his daughter during...

During his last days.

Sir, this is the firsttime I've left on a mission

where I felt like

I might be leaving something behind.

Like I might miss something important.

Understandable.

I'll put a temporary replacement on sg—I.

You can stay here.

I wish I could, sir.

Buti don'tthink I'm replaceable on this one.

The memories jolinar left in my mind

could be invaluable on this mission,

and no one else has them.

True. But your father—...

Sir, it's ok. He doesn't want me around anyway.

Sam, I've known Jacob a long time.

That's not true.

Sir, he's always too concern ed

about appearing the strong soldier.

The lastthing he would want is for me

to see him in a hospital bed,

losing a battle.

I should get going, sir.

I don't want to hold things up.

Captain.

You're more like your father than you'd like to admit.

There is no evidence of footprints

or tracks of any kind.

If the tok'ra were here,

they have not been near the gate in many days.

Ah, where's that yellow brick road

when you need it, eh, Dorothy?

Some sort of dunes over there.

Dunes it is.

Worth less.

O'Neill: No one's tread here in awhile.

Teal'c: The tok'ra are known for their ability

to mask their trails.

They are, as you say, stealthy in their actions.

Yeah, stealthy would be a good word, Teal'c.

Good guys or bad guys?

We mean you no harm. But I warn you,

if you make any aggressive moves,

we will fire upon you.

Same here.

Oh, but I think we will have the advantage.

There are more of us.

This is true.

This one is a Jaffa. Apophis sect.

I am no longer in the service of apophis.

Who, then, are you in service to?

I am allied with these, the tau ri,

in battle against apophis.

And all other Goa'uld.

Be careful, Daniel.

Why?

Because they are Goa'uld.

Do not call us that.

We are not Goa'uld.

Hammond.

Put him through.

Jacob? You ok?

Oh, no. I'll be rightthere.

You know, in some galaxies, this is called loitering.

How long do you think we can keep it up?

Martou f?

I do not know this woman.

But I'm right, aren't I?

That's your name. Martouf.

It is. How do you know me?

I don't. Buti knew someone who did.

His name was jolinar of malkshur.

Where is jolinar?

He died saving my life.

That's why we're here, to seek out the tok'ra.

Assuming, of course... You are the tok'ra.

And if we're not?

Well, I guess we all start shooting.

There's blood, death, hard feelings. It'd suck.

And if we are this thing you call tok'ra?

If you are indeed the tok'ra of Jaffa legend,

we should form an alliance.

I learned a lot from jolinar...

Enough to know that we could be good friends.

And, frankly, enough to know that you are the tok'ra.

I believe this one speaks the truth.

Perhaps we should...

Just listen to what they have to say.

Well, that's better, isn't it?

So...

Take me to your leader.

I will take you to whom you seek,

butthere is one condition.

You must leave your weapons with us.

Ah, no. No.

They won't hurt us, colonel.

They're goa'ulds, Carter.

They won't hurt us.

And you, what, feel this?

No. I can remember it.

O'Neill, if they are th e tok'ra...

We are in no danger.

If you're asking for opinions, I vote we take the chance.

But I want it understood that we're doing this

in the spirit of future relations.

I expect us to be treated as such.

Please, come closer together.

Why?

Jack.

It's ok, colonel.

Oh, it is?

This way.

This looks just like the place in my dream.

But that was on the planet that we—...

They were fleeing.

It is said throughout the legend of the tok'ra,

when they arrive on a planet, they go deep underground.

It is said they possess the technology

to actually grow tunn els.

This looks like some sort of crystal material,

so theoretically, it could be growing.

Teal'c: Apophis had me searching for tunnels

such as these for many years.

We never found them.

It is believed when the tok'ra move on,

the tunnels are destroyed.

Carter.

What's the story with this martouf?

I'm not sure. I getthe feeling

I know almost all of these people,

but my memories of martouf are the strongest.

It's like I have some weird bond with him.

Please. Come this way.

Lou dspeaker: Doctor xiang hung,

you have a call on line one.

Doctor xiang hung, you have a call waiting.

George.

Jacob. Are you all right?

I've been better.

I was under the impression

that the cancer hadn't gone this far.

So was I.

They cleaned out all the lymph nodes.

Problem is, apparently,

one squadron of those little buggers

got themselves reassigned to my liver.

Let me make a call, get captain Carter recalled.

There's no need.

Jacob, she should be here.

Why? Let me tell you something, George.

My little girl grew up seeing daddy

go off to god knows where to fight god knows who,

and I always came home alive and well.

Now I'm gonna let her sit here

and watch me lose the war?

Some little runts so small, I can't even see 'em?

That's exactly what she thought you'd say.

How about doing us all a favor, Jake?

What?

Cut the brave soldier routine.

This is your daughter we're talking about here.

She should have a chance to be here

to see you through this.

I got a feeling she's on a pretty important mission right now.

Am I right?

Well, yes. But there are others—...

Then do me a favor and honor my wishes.

Leave her there.

This is ridiculous.

There is one thing you could do for me, George.

Anything.

Tell me what my little girl's doing.

Except that.

You know it's classified.

George, they're tellin' me I don't have much time left.

Who am I gonna tell? God?

I'm sorry, Jake.

People of the tauri,

let me introduce grand council garshaw of belote.

Greetings.

Hi.

You are garshaw of belote?

I am.

She is the most hunted Goa'uld of all time.

We prefer you do not refer to us as Goa'uld.

Yeah, we got that earlier.

What should we call you?

I assume you are from the first world,

the tauri. Is that correct?

Yeah.

Were you among those who rid the galaxy

of the supreme system lord——ra?

Yup, that's us. That——th at...

Yeah, we're those.

Then, in a sense, you are tok'ra.

Of course. Tok'ra.

Tok. Tok ra. Against... against ra.

Thank you for sharing that.

We still don't know what to call her.

We, too, are tok'ra.

Finally.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

I understand you were sentto us

by jolinar of malkshur.

Please, tell us how that came to be.

Well, uh, I—— it's a long story.

Uh, we were on this planet——nasya,

and the Goa'uld were attacking,

and jolinar's host was killed.

So he——he jumped into me

while I was trying to save his host.

Please, excuse me.

Did you say that jolinar's host was killed?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

But jolinar. He lived on?

Uh, yeah. For a while, at least.

Inside of me. Should I continue?

Please.

He's in v—tech. Let's go. Let's shock him at 200.

Woman: 200.

Ok, clear.

Again, at 300.

Clear.

Normal signs. Ok.

Hey, general, how are you doin'?

All right, he's in aplastic crisis.

Let's give him a unit of packed cells.

Check his vitals every 15 minutes, and, uh...

Let me know if anything changes.

Doctor.

He's, uh, stable... for now.

May I ask, how long does he have?

Can't say with a cancer like this.

Could be, uh, 5 days or 5 minutes.

Sorry. If there's any family for you to contact,

I'd recommend you get them here a.S.A.P.

So, am ito understand

you did not invite jolinar to use you as a host?

That is correct. He did it

in an emergency situation to escape an assassin.

Then if you are not a voluntary host,

how do we know that you did not kill jolinar yourself?

Uh, well, because I——I didn't.

I mean, I guess you're just

gonna have to trust us on that.

And why should we trustyou?

You know somethin'?

I've been askin' myself the same damn question.

Why should we trust you?

You are, after all, goa'ulds.

Jack—— ah! Don't.

We've done nothing but get interrogated here.

Now, are we prisoners,

and are you goa'ulds? Neh.

You are not, and I have told you, we are not Goa'uld.

I didn't...

Why do you talk like that?

And what's with the glowing eyes, huh?

Might it have something to do

with a little reptilian activity

in your heads?

We have symbiotic creatures within us, yes.

Well, then...

Well, then you can see howwe mightthink

you would be a danger to humans.

You take humans as hosts.

Goa'uld take hosts.

Tok'ra do not. Ours wish to be so.

We have a truly symbiotic relationship

no offense, but why would any human

volunteer to be a host for a Goa'uld?

Um, perhaps...

I can——I can help you?

I am yosuf. I am garshaw's host.

I——I speak freely, without restraint

or... censor.

All of us who serve as hosts

volunteer to do so freely.

Ok, well, maybe you can answer my question, then.

Why would any human volunteer for—— for... that?

Well, with the blending,

I gain all of garshaw's knowledge,

her——h er wisdom...

More than any human could——could ever attain.

And my life span is twice what it would be

without the blen ding.

And for all this, all I have to do is

share my physical body.

So you've... kind of got a little...

Faustian deal going here...

Selling your soul for immortality.

Well, what you understand as soul...

Remains intact.

So this... symbiotic relationship

is what makes the tok'ra different from the Goa'uld.

Yes.

It is also this that has thwarted

the tok'ra's efforts against the Goa'uld.

Your Jaffa friend is correct.

If you'd like to come with me,

iwill show you what he means.

Allow me to introduce...

Selmak.

Martouf: Her host name is saroosh.

She is one of the oldest and wisest among us...

An important leader for our cause.

However, she is unfortunately very ill

and will soon die.

How old is she?

She will be 203 of your years

in a few of your days.

I'm sorry. I was under the impression

that Goa'uld lived much longer than 200 years.

The Goa'uld do. The tok'ra don't.

That's because you don't use the sarcophagus, right?

Martou f: That's correct. We believe to do so would

drain the good from our hearts.

I can vouch for that.

That's why our numbers don't grow large enough

to defeat the massive forces aligned with the system lords.

Zero, or negative, population growth.

Since you won't take new hosts by force,

most of the time,

the Goa'uld dies with the host.

Andthis is what is about to happen to selmak.

Unless...

One of you wishes to volunteer

to serve as a host.

I'm gonna pass on that.

Yes. Although it does s—sound... very fascinating,

ithink it's a little too long term for me.

I'm sorry. I've already been through that.

Sorry.

I didn't mean to startle you.

Shouldn't sneak up on a person like that.

We didn't mean to upsetyou

with the suggestion of becoming a host.

O'Neill: Well, as long as you take "no" for an answer.

Be assured that we have never forced

a human to become a host.

It goes against all that we believe in.

Yeah, well, you know, captain Carter

didn't exactly invite jolinar in.

Yes, sir, buti believe he was sincere

about wanting to leave me

as soon as he found another host.

If he found one.

Garshaw: I'm curious. If you're not interested

in becoming a host, then...

Why did you seek us out?

To form an alliance.

Well, yes, so you said, but it's apparent

that the thought of an alliance disgusts you.

Wait a minute. You think

by "form an alliance"

we mean we want to be hosts?

Well, what other sort of an alliance

would a non—blended human and the tok'ra want to have?

Well, we do have a common enemy.

How about a friendship?

We could share information.

We could engage in battle side by side.

Goa'uld voice: I do not believe

you could be of any service to us.

You are neither strong enough

nor advanced enough.

We're not?

Teal'c: You're incorrect.

It was these who destroyed

that was you?!

We had operatives who died on board those vessels.

Oh, boy.

W—we were only defending our planet.

Yosuf's voice: We didn't know thatthey had traveled to the tauri.

I mean, this information, it explains a lot.

At least now we know how and why our operatives died,

an d... for that we are truly grateful.

So maybe we can be of service.

Perhaps you're correct.

I will try to convince the council of tok'ra

to meet with you.

Uh, excuse me.

Are we prisoners here?

Well, uh, until we decide

what level of information to entrustto you,

um, we cannot allow you

to roam this facility freely.

I'm sorry.

Would you like to take a walk on the surface?

What?

Why?

I——I would like to hear more

of jolinar of malkshur.

Well, yeah, sure.

I'm only inviting captain Carter.

What we have to discuss is private.

I hope you understand.

Actually, no, I don't.

Colonel, I... I think I should go with him.

Ithinki need to go with him.

There's a lot of questions

he could answer about jolinar.

I assure you, sir...

She'll be very safe with me.

Colonel?

I need to do this. Please.

Ok, son...

But I want you to have her back by 11:00.

Do you understand?

Martou f: Feeling any better?

Sam: Yeah. Thanks.

Please, uh... Tell me of jolinar.

Igetthe feeling you knew him

way better than I ever did.

That, I am sure.

For one... he was a she.

What?

You're kidding.

Well, actually, that isn't accurate.

The symbiote does not have a gender.

However, jolinar has always been in female hosts.

Well, actually, the hosti found him in—...

H—her——in... w—was a male.

Really.

Mmm.

Must've been another method

of hiding from the ashrak.

Tell me of jolinar's last days.

Well, it's kinda weird.

It's like I'm left with these intuitions...

Feelings.

I know this:

She sacrificed herself to save me.

That speaks a ton about her character

as far as I'm concerned.

I'm sorry. Are you ok?

Goa'uld voice: I'm sorry.

Martouf is having a more difficulttime

handling this than I am.

So you are his symbiote. Lantash, right?

Yes. Martouf is the name of my host.

Yeah, I kn ew that.

I seem to know pretty much everything about you.

When I'm with you, I feel a different sort of...

I don't know... recognition

than I do with the other tok'ra.

Is there something different

about your relationship to jolinar?

Jolinar and I were together

for nearly 100 of your years.

She was my mate.

But how—— how does that work?

She was whose mate, martouf or lantash?

Both.

Martouf's voice: Allow me to attempt an explanation.

As I said before,

ours is atruly symbiotic relationship

so what I feel, lantash feels.

And what lantash feels...

I feel.

So... wh en one of you is in love,

you both feel it.

Yes.

We love as one...

And... and we mourn as one.

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry.

We want you to truly comprehend this

so thatyou'll better understand us.

Well, I——I am curious.

What...

What was jolinar's host like?

Jolinar's host rosha was very beautiful.

She had eyes like the oceans of marloon.

Hair was the color of the sand of abydos.

And her smile was...

Was as infectious as laughter.

In fact...

Rosha looked very much like you, captain Carter.

You are very beautiful.

You'd make a lovely new host for selmak.

I'm sorry. I...

I said something to offend you.

No.

Yes.

It's difficult enough

with justthe remnants of jolinar in here.

The lastthing I need is another person...

Symbiote... whatever.

I didn't mean to upsetyou so.

It's just the thought of going through that again.

Then don't give it another moment's thought.

It was an inappropriate suggestion.

Please understand that it came

from honest, deep desire

to have jolinar back in my life

in some form.

This must be what it feels like to be schizophrenic.

What is...

Schizophrenic?

It's a mental illness humans have.

It's like a... Split personality.

2 people in... in one brain.

I mean, there's me—— Samantha Carter—...

And then there's

this leftover part of jolinar

that feels things like...

Like?

Like some pretty deep feelings for you.

J—jolinar's left this imprint on your mind?

Yes.

I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable, but—...

No. It's just...

What you had...

You and jolinar...

You were in love longer than I've been alive.

Hell, longer than I will be alive.

She leftthis feeling with you?

You can feel how she felt for me?

Yes.

It is confusing the hell out of me.

Why?

Because it's not just in my mind like a memory.

I feel it...

Like I've had this relationship with you

for a hundred years.

I don't know if I can describe it with words.

What jolinar felt for you, I...

I don't even think I'm capable of comprehending.

Maybe there's another way you can communicate it...

Perhaps in a way...

Other than words.

Sam.

Daniel.

Learning a lot about jolinar?

Yeah. you'd be surprised how much.

Um...

The tok'ra council's agreed to meet with us.

Jack thought that you might want to be there.

Yeah.

Quite the place you've got here.

Teal'c: Is it true these facilities are grown?

It is. When we arrive at the new base,

we plant certain crystals,

andthey grow into all that you see.

Wow.

Goa'uld voice: May I help you?

Uh... no. Thanks. I was just lookin' around.

Mmm.

This is notthe way to the new council chambers.

Oh, I'm sorry.

But I would be happy to answer any questions you might have.

These are my private quarters.

Not very private.

The tok'ra hold no secrets from each other.

There's no need for doors or partitions.

Can I show you back to your group?

Uh, no. No, thanks. I...

I can find my way back.

How fast can you grow a facility like this?

Quite rapidly. We build only as we need.

That is why they are only now adding

a corridor and the council chambers.

See for yourselves.

What the hell...

This chamber is newly grown. Until now,

we had no reason to convene the council of tok'ra.

So this is some sort of accelerated crystal growth.

That is correct.

We have learned to pattern

the natural tendencies of the crystal.

Like a geode.

People of the tauri,

allow me to introduce

the grand council of the tok'ra.

Hiya, folks. Nice to meet you.

Uh... we're very grateful.

We're representatives of a planet called earth.

It is an honor.

The council has reviewed your proposal

of an alliance between our peoples.

And?

We would like you to understand our situation.

We are an illegal resistance group

within the Goa'uld.

We are the most hunted, the most hated enemies

of the system lords.

Hey... we haven't made too many friends

along the way, either.

The secrets of the tok'ra would never be revealed.

It is notthe way of the tauri.

Not intentionally.

But you might be followed to us.

You might be tortured into revealing

our whereabouts, or a spy might be

introduced into your midst.

We would like to know what you have to offer us

that is of sufficientvalue to justify our exposure.

Well... I think we've got a lot of things.

The tauri have become quite advanced.

I'm sure we have something you could use.

Please. Give us an example.

Sure. Daniel.

Uh... well, I mean, after all,

we——we have the Sam e... Goals in mind.

Perhaps we have some technology

that could be of use.

Technology other than our own is useless to us.

We are infiltrators.

We work from within the Goa'uld.

Therefore, it's important

that we appear to be Goa'uld.

Bring them in.

What are you people planning?

Beg pardon?

The chaapa'ai just activated

and brought forth these.

Sg—3.

Colonel makepeace?

What are you doing here?

General Hammond sent us to extract captain Carter.

Why?

I'm afraid it's your father, captain.

He's in the hospital in serious condition.

You have to let her go home.

I'm sorry. I can not do that.

Why not?

I'm afraid we have made our decision.

We have decided notto accept

your request for an alliance.

Cordesh: Therefore you shall be our guests

till such time as we decide

to move to another planet.

What?

Garshaw: I'm sure you understand.

With your knowledge of this planet,

you've become a security risk.

We cannot allow you to leave

until we have moved somewhere else

that you do not know about.

Well, surely, as tok'ra,

you're more compassionate than that.

Captain Carter's father is dying.

I mean, at least let her go.

She is the highest risk of all.

She contains the memory of jolinar of malkshur.

Teal'c: We are not the only ones

who have knowledge of this planet.

Those we left behind on the tauri

also possess this knowledge.

As evidenced by our friends here?

It is our wish that your lack of return

will convince them that we are Goa'uld

and not tok'ra.

You want them to think that we're dead.

Well, that kinda sucks.

I'm sorry.

We will try to make you as comfortable as possible.
