Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods

Queen to the king,

possible straight going there.

Eight on the eight.

And the jack gets a boss.

Eights open.

Aren't you guys afraid of an officer

coming down here or something?

Trust me.

Nobody ever comes down here but us.

-That thing always do that?

-Do what?

Whatever that thing is under the tarp.

I thought I just saw it move,

or do something...

Probably the only thing

it ever did was cost money.

I'm telling you, the thing is moving!

If you don't have the straight, just fold.

(RUMBLING)

What are you doing?

Hold your fire!

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(SPEAKING ALIEN LANGUAGE)

(SCREAMING)

(GRUNTS)

This is Area C.

We're under heavy fire down here.

We need...

(SHOUTING)

(SPEAKING ALIEN LANGUAGE)

CAPTAIN:
To the gate room!

Go, go, go! Move it!

Hold your fire!

SOLDIER:
I thought I saw someone on

the roof when we came up the drive, sir.

There's a ladder over there.

-Colonel Jack O'Neill?

-Retired.

I'm Major Samuels.

Want a little piece of advice, Major?

Get re-assed to NASA.

That's where all the action's gonna be.

Out there.

I'm... I'm under orders to bring you

to see General Hammond, sir.

-Never heard of him.

-He replaced General West.

-I'm a busy man, Major.

-I can see that, sir.

He says it's important.

Has to do with the stargate.

We have to take a second elevator

the rest of the way, sir.

It's a long way down.

Yeah, I know. I've been here before.

Of course.

This way, sir.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Come.

General Hammond, Colonel Jack O'Neill.

Retired.

I can see that. I envy you, Colonel.

Major Samuels mentioned something

about the stargate.

Down to business. I can do that.

This way...

HAMMOND:
Anyone you know, Colonel?

DOCTOR:
They're not human.

You think?

Best we can tell,

these slits are actually a pouch,

similar to that found in a marsupial.

-Like a kangaroo.

-Mmm.

Except...

In both sexes.

These people, or aliens,

whatever you wanna call them,

came through, killed four of my people

and kidnapped another,

using advanced weapons.

Airman?

Weapons?

Seen one before, I take it?

Yes, sir.

But there are no creatures like this

on Abydos.

Those people were human.

They were from Earth.

Ra brought 'em there

thousands of years ago.

I know all about that.

But your report said this Ra was in fact

some kind of alien that lived

inside a human body.

His eyes glowed. That was our first clue.

Are you sure he's dead, Colonel?

Unless he could survive a tactical

nuclear warhead

blowing up in his face, I'm positive. Why?

Well, Colonel, these people,

or whatever they are,

were guarding another man

who retreated back through the stargate.

I got a good look at his eyes, Colonel.

They glowed.

How do you feel about the Stargate

mission after all this time, Colonel?

How do you mean?

Well, it's been over a year.

Has your perspective changed?

Well, sir, l...

-Was that...

-HAMMOND:
Kawalsky and Ferretti? Yes.

Served under your command

on the first Stargate mission.

Have a seat, Colonel.

Tell me about Daniel Jackson, Colonel.

Why are they questioning my men?

They're not your men anymore, Colonel.

You retired.

Daniel Jackson?

-You read the report?

-Yes.

-It's all there.

-ls it?

What's this all about, General?

You didn't like Daniel Jackson, did you?

Basically, he was a geek, sir.

So you didn't have a lot of time for him?

I didn't say that.

He also saved my life and found

the way home for my men and me.

A little thing like that can kind of

make a person grow on you.

HAMMOND:
According to the mission brief,

your orders were to

go through the stargate,

to detect any possible threat to Earth,

and if found, to detonate a nuclear device

and destroy the gate on the other side.

Yes.

SAMUELS:
But that's

not what you did, is it?

Not right away.

Ra's forces overpowered my team

and took the weapon before I could arm it.

But, with Dr. Jackson's help,

you eventually regained control,

-and did, in fact, detonate the weapon?

-Yes.

So, to the best of your knowledge,

Daniel Jackson and everyone else

you knew on Abydos is dead, correct?

That's correct.

Good.

Then you won't mind if I authorize

a go-ahead on our plan.

HAMMOND:
This quartz material

the stargates are made of,

it must be tough stuff

if it can withstand a Mark 3.

Well, we sent a robot probe through

after we got back, sir.

It was flattened on the other end.

Obviously, the Abydos stargate

had been buried in the rubble.

HAMMOND:
But somehow, it got unburied.

Oh, my God!

You're sending another bomb?

A Mark 5 this time.

Unless you have something to add.

General Hammond, sir.

I regret to inform you that my report

was not entirely accurate.

You didn't detonate the bomb.

I did detonate the bomb, sir,

and it was aboard Ra's spacecraft,

so it did kill him

and eliminate the risk to Earth.

-However...

-However...

Ra's ship was in orbit

above the planet at the time.

Neither the gate nor anything else

on the planet was destroyed.

Daniel Jackson is alive

and living with the people on Abydos.

You violated direct orders. Why?

Because the people of Abydos

are no threat to us.

They deserve to be left alone.

That's not up to you...

If I'd come back here and reported the gate

on the other side was still intact,

we would've sent another bomb,

just like you were about to.

It wasn't necessary to let those people die.

The threat from Ra was gone.

What about the probe we sent through?

It was crushed instantly.

After we came home,

Daniel buried the gate in rocks,

making my return

or anybody else's impossible.

Those four bodies lying in the infirmary

say otherwise.

Take Colonel O'Neill to the holding room.

Give him a little time to think about

things while I decide what to do with him.

Sergeant.

Colonel O'Neill, sir.

I'm retired, Kawalsky. Lose the salute.

Me and Ferretti didn't tell them anything.

I appreciate that.

Hey, those kids on Abydos

saved my life, too.

Yeah. Those kids...

I mean, they're the whole reason

we kept it secret.

Right?

That one kid idolized you. Remember him?

Weird name... What was it?

Skaara.

Right.

Remember how he was

always saluting you?

Yeah.

My kid used to do that when he was little.

Skaara kind of reminded me of him.

How many people did you say

are on Abydos?

That we saw? Maybe 5,000.

Does this mean you're reconsidering

sending the bomb, sir?

It means I'm open to suggestions.

General, let me take a team

through that gate.

We'll find out who those aliens are.

Kawalsky and I have been there before.

We know the lay of the land.

We know the people.

You think you know them.

Jackson could be dead.

You don't know

what you'd be walking into.

There is one way to find out, sir.

We'll have the prototype probe

shipped from MIT.

No, sir. We don't need that probe.

-We don't?

-Nope. This'll do.

MAN ON PA:
Chevron one encoded.

Chevron two encoded.

Care to explain this concept?

MAN:
Chevron three encoded.

Jackson has allergies.

I get it.

Chevron four encoded.
