Original subtitles

O'Neill: You know, that u.A.V. Needs

a swift kick in the c.P.U.

Its aerial camera showed some sort of camp.

That was weapons' fire.

Clearly a staff weapon blast.

It's an sg team, sir.

Can't make out their unit number—...

They're pinned down.

They are not returning fire.

Out of ammo?

Maybe.

They're not supposed to be here at all.

56—11?

They were declared Mia 8 months ago on p89 534.

What would they be doing here?

Whoever they may be, they are about to die.

Unidentified Sierra Gulf unit,

this is Sierra gulf—1.

We're on your 6,

standing by to offer fire support. Over.

Sierra Gulf unit,

your position is about to be overrun.

Over.

All right. They're either on a different frequency,

or they don't have come.

R—v at the tree line.

Move now.

Pull out! Cover your 6!

Identify yourself!

Colonel Jack O'Neill, sg—I.

Which quadrant?

What?

Get out of there!

Take them out!

Everybody ok?

Headach e. Bad headache.

I thought I got shot.

So it would seem.

Must be some kind of stun weapons.

Looked like mp—ss to me.

Well... all I can say is...

Hello.

Boy, are you guys going to get it.

Get what from whom?

You can't talk.

Why not?

Because you're dead.

Dead?

Pretending not to be dead

will just get you into more trouble.

More trouble than death?

Come on, colonel, you know better.

Stop breaking the rules.

Sorry.

Who's in charge here?

Casualties don't ask questions.

Carter: Uh, what rules are we talking about, exactly?

I said... stop!

We're just trying to understand,

if we're supposed to be dead,

how are you supposed to kill us again?

You want to find out,

"4—eyes"?

Easy, big fella.

Just... play dead.

Indeed.

The captain's waiting for you.

Follow me.

Anyone notice the patch?

Sg—x.

There is no sg—x, O'Neill.

Not under Hammond's command, no.

H ey!

I said, follow me.

Sergeant. Yes, sir.

Take 10 men and go to the West Side. Set up the perimeter.

Yes, sir...

O'Neill: Hey, guys.

They are no more than children.

Playing some kind of war game,

by the looks of things.

Who do you think they are?

N.i.d.? Colonel mayborn e?

Iwouldn't put it past him.

Sg—I, reporting as ordered, sir!

You are all casualties until 1400 hours.

Would that be daylight savings or standard?

You may not speak,

except to answer direct question by the evaluating officer.

Is that clear?!

Is this the way you behave in your quadrant, mister?

I think colonel is the proper way

of addressing me, captain.

No rank is above strict adherence

to the rules of engagement—...

Rule 2, article 4.

Unauthorized forces shall be shot on sight.

You were unauthorized.

In fact, you ruined our ambush.

Nearly half the enemy team got away!

Carter,

I've never been real big on regs.

Is this familiar to you?

No, sir.

They are familiar to me.

Kel vak Jaffa.

You're not from d-quadrant.

We are not.

You came through the chappa'ai.

This is a challenge.

The chappa'ai?

He meant the Stargate, sir.

Stargate.

Of course.

We've been so long without challenges.

I am sorry, master Jaffa.

I have revealed myself and failed.

You must execute me for the remainder of the day.

You must execute me as well.

Master Teal'c...

Might I suggest we...

Spare them this time?

Very well...

Underling.

Captain, your full name and rank.

My earth name is captain Kyle Rogers—...

Acting quadrant—a commander, sir!

Your earth name?

Your standing orders given to you

by your previous Jaffa master.

To practice the exercises of battle

according to the rules of engagement

until the return of our lord apophis!

Really?

When we are ready for the final challenge,

he will come.

Don't hold your breath.

We will be ready.

You're training to serve apophis,

wearing sg uniforms?

To know the enemy.

Quadrant—a has spared no detail.

We've studied long and hard and know much.

About earth? Oh, yes.

Corn and cotton are indigenous to North America.

And that information

could save your life one day.

So you see, master Teal'c,

my mistake will not happen again.

I am ready to infiltrate the tau'ri at your command.

That time has not yet come, captain Rogers.

Daniel: So...

If you're pretending to be...

Who were those Jaffa attacking you?

They were led by my secon d—in—comman d,

captain Nelson, as part of the daily exercise.

We have keptthe Jaffa encampment separate

so that we may better practice our earth behavior.

Shall I have him sent for?

No. I don'tthink that'll be necessary.

Send for him. Yes! Send for him.

How else may I serve?

We'd like our weapons back,

the ones we came with.

They were stored in the armory tent,

at the conclusion of this morning's war game.

Take us to them.

As you wish.

Man: I, 2, 3, 4!

Carter: Colonel, none of them have symbiote patches.

I noticed that.

Before apophis requested asylum from the tau'ri,

there were but a handful of loyal Jaffa

remaining in his service.

And so he drafted ordinary humans?

It is common practice among the Goa'uld

to use humans as fodder during battle,

especially when facing defeat.

All right, captain, we can handle it from here.

I can assist you.

Sh El'kek!

Yes, master.

So, Teal'c...

How do you know about these rules of engagement?

They are the code of battle

during ayoung Jaffa's training,

spoken by apophis himself.

Teal'c, what about these?

They are intar.

Short for...

Intar.

They are used for training and only meant to stun.

They can be identified by this crystal.

They can take the form of any weapon.

Well, I got our g.D.O.'S, but my mp—5's still missing.

As is my staff weapon.

Teal'c, I want everyone in one place

justto make sure. Can you handle that?

I can.

You two keep looking.

Captain Rogers.

Where are the weapons with which we arrived?

They were returned to the armory tent, of course.

Do you possess avocume?

Yes, sir. Use it.

Yes, master Teal'c.

What did you tell him to do?

I instructed him to use atraining instrument

to assemble his men for inspection.

It may serve to emphasize our authority.

Whoa.

Warriors of apophis, assemble before me and listen

to he that possesses the vocume.

Carter: Sir?

Justa huge honking apophis, major.

Nothing to worry about.

The warrior before you speaks in my name.

Heed his words.

I would be honored if you would inspect my warriors, master.

Company!

Ready weapons for inspection.

You do yourself proud, captain Rogers.

Master Teal'c.

This is my second in command, novar.

For the games, he leads the side of the Jaffa warriors,

but his earth name is captain Nelson.

Most of my warriors are engaged in the day's battle, master.

I will relay your words to them after the battle.

O'Neill: Master Teal'c.

If I may?

Teal'c: This is colonel O'Neill.

He is much loved by apophis.

You may address the warriors.

Apophis wanted me to tell you

that you've all been doing a wonderful job.

He couldn't ask for more. Well done.

But he also wanted me to tell you that

the whole invasion of the tau'ri idea

has been canceled due to...

Rain. Ahem.

O'Neill: So.

The war games are officially over as of right...

Now.

You can all go home.

Sir?

It's over, Nelson.

Go tell your buddies to quit fighting.

You speak more like atau'ri

than a warrior of apophis.

Well, thanks.

You're not so bad yourself.

Who taught you?

If you are who you say you are,

you already know the answer to that, sir.

Nelson, I am ordering you

to recall your men from the field.

Article 7, section 3, clearly states

that once the battle has commenced,

it cannot be stopped.

Well, you're obviously referring to the old article 7.

That's it.

That means those kids are out there

playing war games with real weapons.

Colonel?

Go ahead, Carter.

So far, all we've recovered

is one 9—millimeter and one mp—5.

Roger that. Keep looking.

I require all of quadrant—a to be assembled,

including those engaged in the games...

Immediately! As captain Nelson stated, master, article—...

Do you wish to be punished?

I will not fail your challenge a second time, master Teal'c.

Tell them the truth.

Warriors of apophis,

hear me.

Apophis has been slain in battle with his enemies.

H ey!

He's telling you the truth.

The battle you've been preparing for is never going to happen.

He's not coming back.

Hello? Is this Mike on?

We're trying to tell you something important here!

Apophis is a god.

And gods cannot die.

Therefore, apophis cannot be dead.

And anyone who says otherwise is

either testing us or is atraitor...

Sir.

Now, we've passed your challenge.

If there's nothing else, sirs,

we're scheduled to join the games in progress.

Company...

Dismissed!

Apophis has lived for thousands of years.

It's as if we said, the sun will never rise again.

It just might not for some of those kids if they don't wise up.

Man: Jackson.

What's going on?

I'm trying to get a weapon, sir.

I'm already late. The games have started.

Colonel, one mp—5, Teal'c's staff weapon,

and 29—millimeters are still unaccounted for.

Daniel: What does that mean?

It means my team needs reinforcements.

No.

The game is canceled.

You can't do that!

I believe I can.

Everybody grab an intar.

It's a staff weapon wound.

He's dead, sir.

O'Neill: Take cover!

Colonel, I'll draw his fire.

N egative!

That is a real weapon.

Apophis will protect me.

I said, stay down!

Secure that weapon!

Yes, sir!

Have I displeased apophis?

No.

Apophis would be proud.

This is the final challenge.

What happened?

The day has come, Nelson.

It's the final challenge.

Blood has been shed.

Prepare the men.

The challenge must begin at first light.

Yes, sir.

What's he talking about? The final challenge?

It is a day in a warrior's training

when first blood is shed...

And the games become real.

Man: Step it up, step it up!

Carter: Colonel, we found something.

Our weapons were all turned back in after the war games, sir.

Rog er th at.

Keep them secure.

How's he doing?

Apophis will save him.

Well, actually, no. As a matter of fact,

there's probably nothing more we can do for him

as long as we stay here.

There's probably internal injuries.

So we'll take him back with us.

You cannot.

For crying out loud.

You know as well as I do that the rules

forbid entry or exit of the sector

before the final challenge—— Wounded or not.

Right. Right, right.

Rogers: Apophis would be disappointed in me if...

If there were an exception made for myself.

What if itold you we were bringing you to see

apophis personally

to show him that blood has been shed

andthat your quadrant is truly ready for his return?

If we don't bring you back with us,

then apophis will know you've failed our challenge

and never return.

Then I must go. Good.

Tell him we will make him proud.

I will.

We need a medical team!

What happened, colonel?

My lord?

Actually, we just call him general Hammond.

Where is apophis?

He's not here. I'm sorry.

Woman: What have we got?

Liars.

Traitors!

Easy, easy!

You will be punished. He will avenge me!

Who is this, sir?

His name's Rogers.

Despite appearances, he's not sgc.

He will strike you down! You will all die!

Go! Let's get him to the infirmary.

I'd like to debrief asap, colonel.

Yes, my lord.

What's this final challenge all about?

In mytraining, it is when we received

our actual staff weapons.

The 2 opposing camps then engaged in battle

until one side emergedvictorious.

You killed each other?

The Goa'uld wish only the strong to prevail, major Carter.

I was among the Victors.

We were then honored by apophis,

and I became a member of his personal guard.

Hammond: And that's what's about to happen to those boys.

O'Neill: As long as they don't have real weapons

with which to play, I don't see how.

The only lethal weapons I found

in the armory belonged to us.

The rest were intars.

The Jaffa masters who once supervised

their war games have long ago abandoned them,

yet they have maintained their games

until this day without fail.

So what are you saying?

That they are extremely resourceful and most determined.

So they mighttryto fulfill the final challenge,

whether they're issued lethal weapons or not.

It is possible.

Daniel: Let's face it. If they really wanted to kill each other,

they don't need guns to do it.

We have to go back there, sir...

And tryto prevent this from happening.

Daniel: General, we're indirectly responsible for all this.

They think that we were sent through to start this.

I understand that.

What we need to send back there is ateam of shrinks.

Those kids are outthere.

Hammond: That may be so, colonel, but before

I send you or anyone else into a battle zone,

iwant to know what's going on on that planet.

Why don'ti see what I can get out of Rogers?

Very well.

He won't eat, he won't speak...

Exceptto call me a shova.

You must be doing a good job.

There's no internal injury——he mustn't have

taken the full force of the blast.

Physically he'll be fine.

Emotionally... that's another story.

He's very angry, colonel.

Where's his tray?

Right here.

Good luck.

Old doc fraiser says you haven't been eating.

It's poison.

It's hospital food. Of course it is.

Mmm...

Tuna.

Go to sokar.

It's "go to hell," actually,

which, by the way, is Avery rude thing

to say to a person offering you a sandwich.

It means the same.

You've got a point.

I will reveal nothing.

You may begin torturing me.

Oh, I've already begun.

This... is the infamous tuna torture.

Last chance.

Good.

So, you and I should have a little talk

about this final challenge thing.

We will battle to the death, and apophis will choose

the Victors as his personal guard.

All right, I'm going to tell you

the absolute truth right now.

Apophis is dead.

Gods cannot die!

Why do think he's been gone for so long?

Why have all the Jaffa masters left?

Apophis was on his way out

when you got drafted.

You lie. What if he told you himself?

If apophis can speak, then he cannot be dead.

When apophis came to us, he had already been tortured.

Impossible.

He is agod.

Carter: The images we're about to show you

are of apophis just before he died,

and his body was sentto sokar.

Gods cannot die.

So you keep saying.

Have a look.

Help me.

A host.

I am... afraid.

What magic is this?

No magic.

I was there.

As was I.

Then it is true.

It is.

What will you do to us?

We're not gonna do anything to you.

We want to help you.

You can go home...

Wherever that is.

The war's over.

No, it's not...

Because tomorrow the final challenge begins...

And many of my men will die...

For him.

Hammond: What's your real name, son?

My true name is rophiapgisy, sir.

O'Neill: Your earth name's Kyle. Can we call you Kyle?

That would be fine, sir. I'm very used to that.

How long have you been on that planet?

We were brought there through a chappa'ai

5 cycles ago from a number of different worlds.

Right after we blew up apophis' ships.

He commanded that we worship no other god but him.

He left many Jaffa warriors with us.

He taught us everything.

Hammond: Who taught you all about earth,

our uniforms, weapons?

Nearthe beginning,

apophis captured one of your sg teams

and forced them to teach us.

Sg—I I.

Yes.

At first, that was all th ey would reveal,

but our Jaffa masters

forced them to say things.

We listened to your speech, observed your ways.

Butthey did not last long.

What happened to them?

One day... their bodies

were put on display in the encampment.

I do not know howthey died...

Only that they refused to tell the Jaffa masters

all that was asked of them.

And then our Jaffa masters began to leave us one by one.

They said to help apophis win a great battle.

And then we were alone.

Thank you for your cooperation, son.

May I now ask for your cooperation, sir?

Go on. Kyle: As we speak,

my men are preparing for the final challenge.

I was under the impression

your weapons are non—lethal.

They are.

But before master gar'toc left,

he showed captain Nelson and myself a cave.

Inside were weapons intended for the final challenge—...

Real weapons.

What are we talking about here...

Weapons—wise?

They're exactly like your own: Nip-55.

He told us it was with those

that we would one day infiltrate the tau'ri and destroy you.

May I request permission

to be returned to my men, sir,

to tell them what I've learned

and justtry and stop them?

They won't believe you. You know that.

They're under my command.

Teal'c, is the vocume capable

of recording other images?

Yes. That is correct.

Well, then colonel O'Neill

has already thought of the solution.

Ithinkyou know where I'm going with this, sir.

Haven't a clue.

Seeing apophis die was enough to convince Kyle.

All we have to do is show

that same image to everyone else.

With the vocume device?

Carter: Yes.

I believe O'Neill's solution could be successful.

Hammond: In the middle of a battlefield,

combining alien technology with our own?

Sir, the technical part

of transferring the data to the vocume

I can figure out.

We've already been experimenting

with interfacing Goa'uld technology with our own.

The problem will be getting there.

We do have the intars, general.

What good will they do?

We can shoot first and ask questions later.

Kyle: And I request permission to join them... sir.

They are his men, general.

And he might provide the tactical advantage

we need to pull this off.

O'Neill: Final challenge scenario—...

Let's hear it one more time.

My elite sg squad

is to defend the encampment

from an invading force of other sg teams led by captain Nelson.

The attackers are greater in number,

but the defenders have greater firepower.

Carter: But everyone on both sides will be in sg uniforms.

As it would have been when we infiltrated earth, yes.

Once we take the encampment,

we become the defenders to buy Carter time.

Is everyone clear on that? Daniel?

What? Good.

You stay with Carter,

who will watch you like a hawk.

Yes, sir.

Hammond: Sg—I, you have a go.

Why can't you just stay with Carter?

I was trying to draw his fire.

You will listen to every word I tell you,

and you will do everything itell you

or iwill shoot you myself! Is that clear?

Ow!

Damn it!

Yes, sir.

Status report, sergeant!

Captain Rogers?

I've just returned through the chappa'ai

with a message from apophis.

I have glorious news.

Aah! Get down!

Getthe vacuum. Vocume.

Whatever. Get it.

Carter, set it up Teal'c, with Carter.

Daniel, with me.

Here they come. I got some at 9 o'clock, here, too.

Man: Move it! Move it!

It is ready. Good. I'm not. Give me a second.

Anytime, Carter.

Yes, sir!

What is the delay?

You can't just combine Goa'uld technology with ou rs

with the snap of a finger. I have to match

the frequency the vocume operates on

before I can record and transmit.

O'Neill.

Incoming!

Rogers, whatthe hell was that?!

Mortars.

What else is in that cave?

Stingers, m605, m725, tow missiles.

You're telling me this now?!

What the hell is—— get down!

Come on.

Damn it, Carter!

Got it.

Warriors of apophis,

assemble before me

and listen to he that possesses the vocume.

The warrior before you speaks in my name.

Heed his words.

It's a message from apophis himself.

Summoning his image during battle

is against the rules of en—...

Hear his words!

When the challenge is over.

Now, Nelson!

You will listen to him now!

Before anybody else gets hurt.

The final challenge is to the death, colonel.

A host.

I am... afraid.

He is agod.

It cannot be so.

It is so.

What will become of us?

Where will we go now?

Home.
