{1}{1}25.000
{296}{387}The Nikkei dropped 8%.|The yen continued its free fall.
{389}{469}Also, the president of Togo|was deposed six hours ago.
{471}{649}He got a plane to Nigeria. Now he's calling|for American troops to help restore order.
{651}{722}- This is my first day.|- Yes, Mr President.
{724}{821}{Y:i}The New York Times is launching|an investigation into voting irregularities
{823}{905}in six southern states.|I've got Teddy on it.
{907}{997}- Who are these people following me?|- They work for you, Mr President.
{999}{1074}Also, there's a storm in the Atlantic|about to hit Maine.
{1076}{1196}They're expecting gale-force winds|and 20 inches of snow.
{1266}{1341}- Shouldn't I know who they are?|- Yes, Mr President.
{1343}{1443}Emergency management teams are|standing by, but we've scheduled a call
{1445}{1526}so you can pledge your support.
{1528}{1629}- They won't follow me all the time?|- No, Mr President.
{1631}{1679}Good.
{1681}{1750}Hello. Holly.
{1752}{1889}The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs|is waiting for you in your office.
{2031}{2138}- He knows it's my first day, right?|- Yes, Mr President.
{2140}{2191}Good.
{2230}{2295}- Francis.|- Mr President.
{2362}{2441}We need to talk, sir. It's important.
{2443}{2509}Guys.
{2511}{2565}Let me enjoy the moment.
{2782}{2833}Moment's over, sir.
{2880}{2946}Right.
{2948}{3019}Stan, thank you. Thank you.
{3223}{3318}Mr President, I'm here to bring you|up to speed on a programme
{3320}{3414}we've been running out of Cheyenne|Mountain for the past seven years.
{3416}{3480}I've already had my top-secret briefing.
{3482}{3539}Yes, Mr President, but not this.
{3601}{3732}For the past seven years, the Air Force|has been sending teams to other planets
{3734}{3825}by means of an alien device|known as the Stargate.
{3851}{3971}That's funny. That's very funny.|My first day.
{3973}{4047}This is a joke, right?|I have a great sense of humour.
{4049}{4174}I didn't know that you had one, but good,|we're finding out about each other.
{4176}{4271}Now I have to call|the ex-president of Togo,
{4273}{4400}and when I'm done, apparently,|the rest of the world is coming to an end.
{4402}{4507}The ex-president of Togo|will have to wait, sir. This is not a joke.
{4636}{4753}The United States Air Force has been|sending people to other planets?
{4755}{4802}- Yes, sir.|- For seven years?
{4804}{4889}- That's correct.|- By means of an alien device?
{4891}{4937}Known as the Stargate.
{6629}{6708}Senator McKnight is requesting|we move your meeting.
{6710}{6791}Trying to duck me. He doesn't|want to commit on the crime bill.
{6793}{6841}- What should I tell them?|- Forget it.
{6843}{6991}The son of a bitch came in on our|coattails. Now it's time to pay the piper.
{7023}{7090}- What the hell were you thinking?|- Mr President.
{7092}{7189}- Why didn't you tell me?|- Sara.
{7191}{7264}Would you excuse us|for a moment, please?
{7337}{7454}You've just been briefed by the Chairman|of the Joint Chiefs on our new reality.
{7456}{7579}Not only do I find out that the Air Force|is engaged in interstellar travel,
{7581}{7669}but I also find out|that my running mate knows all about it.
{7671}{7749}- I was under a special gag order.|- Since when?
{7751}{7810}- Six years now.|- That's unbelievable.
{7812}{7879}Mr President,|I realise this is overwhelming,
{7881}{8004}but what you need to know is that the|Stargate is being seriously mismanaged.
{8006}{8117}- It's urgent that we act now.|- What are you talking about?
{8119}{8242}I have desperately tried to maintain|some proper control and accountability,
{8244}{8318}but the oversight in place|is completely inadequate.
{8320}{8386}The military specifically.
{8388}{8510}The personnel directly involved in the|SGC need to be replaced immediately.
{8512}{8612}Now, I have several recommendations|regarding...
{8614}{8681}Whoa, Bob, hold on here.
{8683}{8817}Mr President, why do you think|I was ordered to keep quiet?
{8842}{8942}This was an attempt by the military|and the previous administration
{8944}{9085}to drive a wedge between us, because|they knew I was going to come after them.
{9087}{9152}We need to stick together on this.
{9154}{9255}For God's sakes, Bob,|think of the magnitude of this!
{9257}{9318}"For God's sake" is right.
{9320}{9427}Oh, come on, Bob. If you want me to buy|into your holier-than-thou position,
{9429}{9511}you've got to convince me you're right.
{9662}{9743}Hosted alien dignitaries.
{9745}{9835}Acquired alien technology.
{9837}{9911}Travelled back in time?
{9931}{9982}Did they really blow up a sun?
{9998}{10066}As I understand it, sir, yes, they did.
{10082}{10161}It's gotta look awfully good|on the old resumé, hey?
{10163}{10297}- They've done pretty amazing things.|- You sound like a fan, Francis.
{10299}{10421}Well, I can't help but appreciate the|number of times they've saved this world.
{10423}{10492}Some people think|it wouldn't have needed saving
{10494}{10565}had we left well enough alone.
{10567}{10640}Well, you can't deny what's out there, sir.
{10642}{10702}The enemy|would have come for us anyway.
{10704}{10753}We need to be prepared.
{10755}{10834}And no matter what anyone says,|the people at the SGC
{10836}{10945}have done the best job anyone could|under the circumstances.
{10947}{11090}- You don't trust the vice president?|- He obviously has his own agenda.
{11126}{11214}I know he tried to shut them down|when he was at Appropriations.
{11216}{11325}Frankly, the vice president knows|as well as anyone else it's too late for that.
{11327}{11408}- If he didn't six years ago, he does now.|- What does that mean?
{11410}{11525}He clearly doesn't want to shut the gate|down any more. He wants to control it.
{11571}{11665}We have a civilian agency|known as the NID.
{11667}{11748}Now, its mandate has been to keep an eye
{11750}{11826}on top-secret projects|like the Stargate programme
{11828}{11897}and has done so from the beginning.
{11899}{12061}I propose that we give this organisation|direct control of the gate,
{12063}{12125}effective immediately.
{12169}{12286}{Y:i}(Maynard) There's only one reason he|wanted them to give control to the NID.
{12288}{12384}He was about to become chairman|of the Intelligence Oversight Committee.
{12386}{12472}Which would have put the NID|and the Stargate in his back pocket.
{12474}{12528}He had the ambassadors in his hand.
{12530}{12615}It was only because of extraordinary|intervention that it didn't work.
{12865}{12928}- Hello?|- Hello.
{12930}{13042}I am Thor,|Supreme Commander of the Asgard fleet.
{13044}{13168}- Commander Thor, my name is...|- Senator Kinsey.
{13170}{13287}O'Neill suggested I send you|to a distant planet for your actions here,
{13289}{13368}but I am reasonably certain|his statement was in jest.
{13370}{13488}- I'm sure it was, Commander.|- Supreme Commander.
{13490}{13568}It is the opinion|of the Asgard High Council
{13570}{13640}that Stargate Command|should be left in the hands
{13642}{13726}of General Hammond and his team.
{13728}{13828}And while our continued friendship|with Earth is not contingent on that,
{13830}{13878}it is preferred.
{13988}{14051}{Y:i}(President)|I wonder why he wants it so badly.
{14053}{14165}I mean,|besides his belief in his divine right.
{14167}{14208}I don't know, sir.
{14210}{14384}Not that that's not enough, but I get this|feeling that there's something more to it.
{14386}{14436}Yes, sir.
{14478}{14592}That rogue element at NID that he took|credit for taking down last year...
{14594}{14712}We've never had any proof connecting|Senator Kinsey to anything nefarious.
{14714}{14855}I've got a bad feeling about where some|of that campaign financing came from.
{14857}{14950}- Mr President.|- Did I say that out loud?
{15360}{15427}Ah! Mr Woolsey.
{15458}{15538}I hope my confidence in you|has not been misplaced.
{15540}{15594}You have my word, sir.
{15596}{15666}Once I finish,|the president will have no choice
{15668}{15781}but to follow your recommendation|and clean house at Stargate Command.
{16002}{16052}I'm sorry to keep you waiting,
{16054}{16141}but I was just wrapping up|a meeting with the Joint Chiefs.
{16143}{16237}Francis,|I thought you'd want to sit in on this one.
{16239}{16289}Thank you, sir.
{16361}{16428}General, I don't believe|you know Richard Woolsey.
{16430}{16493}For months,|he has been working with the NID
{16495}{16603}conducting a thorough investigation|of all Stargate personnel.
{16605}{16686}I've asked him here|to kindly present us with his findings.
{16688}{16785}If this is a discussion of the competence|of those running the SGC,
{16787}{16833}shouldn't Hammond be included?
{16835}{16925}Unfortunately, sir,|General Hammond is part of the problem.
{16927}{17010}George Hammond|is a highly decorated officer,
{17012}{17065}a 30-year veteran with the Air Force,
{17067}{17139}and while that may not carry|weight over at the NID,
{17141}{17202}it still means something to certain people.
{17204}{17316}This isn't a trial. Although it certainly|wouldn't surprise me if it came to that.
{17318}{17391}Let's stick to specifics here.
{17393}{17483}If these people need to be replaced,|I want to see evidence.
{17485}{17533}Thank you, Mr President.
{17535}{17618}The most recent incident|was less than a month ago.
{17620}{17688}General Hammond|ordered an offworld rescue
{17690}{17806}despite ample indication that he was|sending his people into an ambush.
{17808}{17908}As a result, a very valuable member|of Stargate Command was killed.
{17910}{17955}Dr Janet Fraiser.
{17957}{18029}Sending people|into potentially dangerous situations
{18031}{18098}is a natural consequence|of military command.
{18100}{18170}Maybe so, but ignoring evidence|of an enemy trap
{18172}{18251}is at best foolish|and at worst criminally negligent.
{18253}{18309}General Hammond admits responsibility.
{18311}{18381}His own report is essentially a confession.
{18383}{18464}All that proves is the man|had the guts to own up to his mistakes.
{18466}{18591}Unfortunately, in this case, mistakes can|lead to compromising the entire planet.
{18593}{18719}I have a mountain of evidence implicating|not only Hammond but his first-line team.
{18721}{18759}They are heroes.
{18761}{18888}We have no intention of minimising the|accomplishments of the General or SG-1.
{18890}{18965}Their respective achievements|speak for themselves,
{18967}{19134}but intermittent successes|cannot excuse ongoing misconduct.
{19136}{19260}Over the past seven years, SG-1 has|shown a disregard for military authority.
{19262}{19392}They have compromised national security|and exercised extremely poor judgement.
{19394}{19498}You should be on my speechwriting team.
{19500}{19576}Come on, cut the crap, will you?
{19578}{19773}As crazy as it sounds, we're talking about|people who are fighting aliens. Right?
{19775}{19880}- Could we please be specific?|- Yes, sir.
{19912}{20049}Let's start with insubordination. Five and|a half years ago, the gate was shut down.
{20051}{20182}The SGC was under orders to suspend|all offworld travel, pending a full review.
{20184}{20315}- SG-1 chose to ignore those orders.|- And managed to head off an invasion.
{20317}{20460}Nonetheless, they were guilty. And it was|by no means an isolated incident.
{21003}{21053}Let's go.
{21256}{21306}O'Neill.
{21356}{21406}Not this time, Teal'c.
{21741}{21840}They sabotaged a mothership the Goa'uld|would have used to attack Earth.
{21842}{21940}They used the Stargate|against a direct order of a superior officer.
{21942}{22038}You can't hold them accountable for that.|Read the damn mission report.
{22040}{22108}They were under the influence|of an alien device.
{22110}{22186}Yes, of course. Which brings us|to the alarming frequency
{22188}{22310}with which members|of SG-1 have fallen under alien influence.
{22312}{22470}Major Samantha Carter.|Implanted with a Goa'uld symbiote.
{22472}{22594}Then, two years ago,|her body became host to an alien virus.
{22848}{22892}Daniel Jackson.
{22894}{23004}Fell under the influence of alien|technology on numerous occasions,
{23006}{23159}had his body play host to not one|but 12 alien psyches simultaneously.
{23161}{23253}Most interestingly, apparently died,
{23255}{23358}and, according to the report,|"evolved into a higher being."
{23763}{23901}Teal'c, an alien,|former soldier of the Goa'uld,
{23903}{24037}now possesses full security clearance|at our most secret facility.
{24039}{24097}- He earned that trust.|- Yes.
{24099}{24262}That trust almost cost SG-1 dearly|when he rejoined the ranks of Apophis.
{24298}{24332}Buddy.
{24458}{24525}What you got going here, Teal'c?
{24560}{24699}Well done, Teal'c. Finally, you've resumed|your rightful position as my first prime.
{24701}{24770}He'd been brainwashed by the enemy.
{24772}{24907}Yes - like his fellow team members, he's|shown a vulnerability to alien influence.
{24909}{25024}Which finally brings us|to the team leader, Jack O'Neill.
{25080}{25171}Infected by alien contagions|a half-dozen times,
{25173}{25288}experimented upon by|extraterrestrials another half-dozen times,
{25290}{25406}had his memories manipulated|on numerous occasions.
{25408}{25489}Had the entire repository|of an ancient alien database
{25491}{25550}effectively downloaded into his head.
{25552}{25598}Whoa!
{25783}{25833}{Y:i}(yells)
{25867}{25909}Colonel.
{25911}{26008}Not long after this, the Colonel|began exhibiting strange behaviour,
{26010}{26117}speaking an alien language,|demonstrating superhuman intellect.
{26119}{26181}He was undergoing|some sort of transformation,
{26183}{26241}as a result of the knowledge|he had absorbed.
{26243}{26326}Were it not for the timely intervention|of another alien race,
{26328}{26377}he would have been lost to us.
{26379}{26453}How these people maintain|their sanity is beyond me.
{26455}{26576}- I'm having trouble just listening to it.|- That, Mr President, is exactly my point.
{26578}{26686}How can we trust these individuals|after everything they've been through?
{26688}{26772}Well, they seem to be|handling it very well.
{26774}{26872}But who's to say they are|completely free of these influences?
{26874}{26953}They're routinely cleared|by medical professionals.
{26955}{27049}We can no longer allow the Pentagon|to look the other way.
{27051}{27162}The number of times the members|of SG-1 have been compromised
{27164}{27266}should have warranted at least|a reconsideration of their offworld status,
{27268}{27398}transfers to less decisive positions,|a couple of sick days, for God's sake.
{27400}{27501}The first time I heard about this,|I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
{27503}{27618}I tried to imagine myself doing what these|people have been doing for seven years,
{27620}{27752}and quite frankly, I don't think|any of us can really understand
{27754}{27861}what they've been going through,|no matter how many files we read.
{27863}{27938}All the more reason for intensive scrutiny.
{27940}{28070}If new protocols and standards of conduct|need to be established,
{28072}{28124}this is where it has to start.
{28291}{28402}- What do you say we take a break?|- Yes, sir.
{28736}{28821}You can't possibly be taking their side.
{28844}{28926}- I need time to absorb this, Bob.|- We may not have much time.
{28928}{28993}- The longer those people...|- Relax.
{28995}{29135}All I'm saying is, at the moment, I'm going|to give them the benefit of the doubt.
{29137}{29215}- I need to know more.|- I think you know all you need to know.
{29217}{29268}That includes why you're here.
{29294}{29373}I'm here, Bob,|because the people of this nation
{29375}{29437}elected me to run their country.
{29439}{29491}Not the whole damn galaxy.
{29527}{29609}And this is my office, Bob, not yours,
{29611}{29699}no matter what you may think you did|to make this happen.
{29701}{29824}And don't you ever,|for one second, forget that.
{29859}{29906}Yes, Mr President.
{29939}{30007}Let's take a break.
{30285}{30406}According to the military,|SGC is our first and best line of defence
{30408}{30480}against potential alien threats|to this planet.
{30482}{30580}If that's true,|we should be very, very concerned.
{30582}{30688}Time and again, Hammond and SG-1 have|demonstrated shockingly poor judgement,
{30690}{30816}placing themselves, the base,|this very planet, in jeopardy.
{30818}{30940}The decision to bring back|suspect technology through the gate
{30942}{31008}has precipitated|a number of crisis situations.
{31010}{31087}For the most part,|they've been dealt within the SGC.
{31089}{31219}However, last year the effect|of an alien device broke containment
{31221}{31311}and found its way|into the civilian population.
{31329}{31379}Son of a...
{31431}{31539}Sir, I believe an individual I came in|contact with has breached the quarantine.
{31572}{31605}{Y:i}(yells)
{31693}{31773}The situation was taken care of.|A cover story was created.
{31775}{31841}The civilian population|was none the wiser.
{31843}{31938}I would like to know how many times|we'll have to clean up after these people.
{31940}{32068}They have a mandate to acquire offworld|technology. That entails necessary risks.
{32070}{32118}How would you define necessary?
{32120}{32180}Only a few months ago,|General Hammond allowed
{32182}{32251}the testing|of an unproven computer virus
{32253}{32377}that shut down our entire gate network,|leaving us open to a potential assault.
{32379}{32529}You can't hold Hammond responsible.|It was a Goa'uld modification of the virus.
{32531}{32700}In other words, Hammond effectively gave|the Goa'uld a weapon to use against us.
{32702}{32751}Like the president said,
{32753}{32865}you can't even begin to understand|what their jobs demand of them.
{32867}{32975}Maybe not, but I would like to think|that it includes common sense
{32977}{33061}and the willingness to set aside|personal feelings in battle.
{33063}{33167}- What are you referring to, Mr Woolsey?|- An incident three years ago.
{33169}{33288}General Hammond allowed emotion to|override established gate-room protocol.
{33438}{33488}Evacuate the gate room.
{33599}{33694}Colonel O'Neill, we're taking fire. Report.
{33791}{33841}Colonel O'Neill?
{33887}{33937}Sir?
{33948}{34010}Give them some more time.
{34295}{34385}General Hammond's decision|to wait for SG-1 worked out in the end,
{34387}{34501}but I can't help but wonder|if he'll be so lucky the next time.
{34520}{34636}The members of SG-1 have similarly|suspect priorities - and no wonder.
{34638}{34749}Not one, but two people that Dr Jackson|had close personal relationships with
{34751}{34802}were taken as Goa'uld hosts.
{34804}{34891}Teal'c's family and associates|among the ranks of the Jaffa
{34893}{35013}make him an easy target|for Goa'uld retaliation and manipulation.
{35015}{35084}Both O'Neill and Carter|have demonstrated
{35086}{35229}an alarming tendency to let relationships|cloud their decision-making process.
{35231}{35317}They have a right to their feelings.
{35319}{35509}Unless, of course, you're suggesting...|some kind of inappropriate relationship.
{35511}{35622}Inappropriate, yes.|That is exactly what he's suggesting.
{35658}{35752}It's difficult to come away from|these reports without the impression
{35754}{35856}that there's a lot more going on|between Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter
{35858}{35945}than simple friendship and respect.
{35947}{36101}For example, there was an incident|last year in which O'Neill went missing.
{36103}{36205}Based on a report filed by one of the|scientists on the mission in question,
{36207}{36287}Major Carter's behaviour|was erratic at best.
{36342}{36420}This technology|is unlike anything we've come across.
{36422}{36497}- I know.|- No reference, no way to interface.
{36499}{36594}I'm working on it, Doctor.|As you should be.
{36636}{36678}Right.
{36717}{36796}Excuse me. Where's Colonel O'Neill?
{36798}{36902}I don't see him, do you?|Did you guys find him while I was gone?
{36904}{36969}I say when we're done here.
{37040}{37113}That's it? That's your evidence?
{37115}{37215}I believe there's a lot more to this|than we've been told.
{37217}{37385}But I hardly expect them to incriminate|themselves with their own reports.
{37387}{37453}But we can all read between the lines.
{37525}{37605}All right, I've heard enough.|Thank you, gentlemen.
{37607}{37696}- Thank you, Mr Woolsey.|- Mr President.
{37934}{37969}{Y:i}(knocking)
{37971}{38050}- Mr Woolsey is here to see you, sir.|- Send him in.
{38152}{38245}- Would you like a drink?|- No, thank you.
{38282}{38425}- That was nice work today, Richard.|- Really? I got the feeling it didn't go well.
{38427}{38553}- Ah, well. Doesn't matter.|- It doesn't?
{38555}{38639}Nah. The president|is going to come around.
{38669}{38750}I didn't get that impression,|Mr Vice President.
{38752}{38896}In fact, I clearly sensed that he was siding|with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
{38898}{39064}Today was a formality. Don't get me|wrong. The job you did was vital.
{39066}{39208}The president has to appear to be hearing|both sides, considering his position,
{39210}{39276}but...
{39278}{39330}he'll see things my way eventually.
{39332}{39391}And if he doesn't?
{39450}{39500}Things happen.
{39553}{39625}What is that supposed to mean?
{39666}{39753}It means|you chose the right side, Richard.
{39789}{39966}One way or another, I promise you,|I'm going to win this one.
{40220}{40311}- Mr President.|- General.
{40313}{40385}I take it you're here|to make a case for the defence?
{40387}{40466}I'm not going to get|into a point-counterpoint.
{40468}{40534}It may very well be|that Hammond and SG-1
{40536}{40612}have done their very best|under difficult circumstances,
{40614}{40742}but there's a political aspect to the vice|president's position that makes sense.
{40772}{40822}Sir?
{40918}{41046}A lot of people know about Stargate.|We can't keep it a secret forever.
{41048}{41149}When it finally comes out,|we're going to be in the fight of our lives.
{41151}{41212}We'll need the public's confidence.
{41214}{41314}You think cleaning house at the SGC now|shows you're in control?
{41316}{41364}You disagree?
{41366}{41421}I think there's time for that still, sir.
{41423}{41519}For the immediate future, I'm here|to let you know what you're up against,
{41521}{41618}and why we need Hammond|and SG-1 right now more than ever.
{41620}{41666}Have a seat. Fire away.
{41880}{41976}The System Lords have proven|themselves to be formidable adversaries.
{41978}{42034}Yet, despite our obvious disadvantage,
{42036}{42128}we've managed to hold our own, maybe|even take them down a notch or two.
{42130}{42238}We've been good, and we've been lucky.|But I'm afraid that could change.
{42240}{42301}There's a new Goa'uld in the mix.
{42303}{42397}I take it you're referring to the one|who calls himself Anubis.
{42399}{42477}He's more powerful|than any of his predecessors.
{42479}{42567}He came to our attention a year ago|when he tried to take out Earth
{42569}{42675}with an asteroid and then used|our own Stargate as a weapon against us.
{42677}{42731}We thwarted him both times.
{42733}{42809}Since then,|he's redirected his attention to his rivals,
{42811}{42878}waging a year-long war|against the Goa'uld.
{42946}{42996}Your time is up.
{43411}{43482}Well, good.|Let them fight amongst themselves.
{43484}{43603}The problem is, when he's through|with them, and it's only a matter of time,
{43605}{43742}he'll come gunning for us. And when he|does, we'll be facing a whole new threat.
{44207}{44256}Fire in the hole!
{44467}{44525}{Y:i}(president) A super soldier?.
{44527}{44601}Not just one. He's got a whole army.
{44603}{44699}{Y:i}(massed voices) Hail Anubis. Hail Anubis.
{44756}{44854}If that's true, I can't imagine|how having SG-1 on the front lines
{44856}{44929}is gonna make one bit|of difference when the time comes.
{44931}{45028}Anubis may be incredibly powerful,|but he's not invincible.
{45030}{45104}- There is a way to take him out.|- And how's that?
{45106}{45158}By finding the lost city.
{45179}{45325}You have to forgive me, Francis. I've only|gone through about a third of those files.
{45327}{45476}The gates were built by a highly advanced|race of aliens known as the Ancients.
{45478}{45605}They died off millions of years ago,|but they haven't disappeared completely.
{46063}{46121}{Y:i}They've evolved into higher life forms.
{46123}{46171}- Well, will they help us?|- No, sir.
{46173}{46246}- Why the hell not?|- It's beneath them.
{46248}{46348}They won't involve themselves|in our affairs.
{46350}{46425}So where are you going with this?
{46427}{46564}Last year, SG-1 made an amazing|discovery on a planet called Abydos.
{46566}{46636}You're gonna find|the lost city of the Ancients.
{46638}{46733}- Lost city?|- Didn't tell him about that either, huh?
{46735}{46796}Daniel found a tablet about a lost city.
{46798}{46890}With powerful weapons capable|of giving you a big advantage over Anubis.
{46892}{46966}- Do you know where it is?|- No, but I'll help you find it.
{46968}{47149}Hammond and SG-1 are close to finding|the lost city. Let them do their job, sir.
{47151}{47222}Let them save this planet one more time.
{47310}{47360}{Y:i}(sighs)
{47428}{47483}I wish it were that simple.
{47599}{47658}I'm not sure what you mean, sir.
{47660}{47766}The vice president may be a pain|in the ass, but I can't just ignore him.
{47768}{47832}You're commander-in-chief.|It's your decision.
{47834}{47894}True.
{47896}{47975}But if I cross him on this one...
{47977}{48114}Well, let's just say|that I haven't viewed all the angles yet.
{48147}{48237}- Is there anything you haven't told me?|- No, sir.
{48293}{48402}Then as far as I can tell, Hammond and|SG-1 have done an extraordinary job
{48404}{48466}under very difficult circumstances.
{48468}{48568}But in doing so|they've made some mistakes.
{48570}{48636}They've made some enemies.
{48638}{48714}Frankly,|I don't know if I can protect them.
{48961}{49011}{Y:i}(door opens)
{49165}{49213}- General.|- Mr Woolsey.
{49215}{49261}Thank you for meeting me.
{49263}{49334}The vice president|doesn't know about this?
{49336}{49401}No. And I'd like to keep it that way.
{49443}{49510}What do you want?
{49512}{49567}I want to warn you.
{49569}{49733}I think the vice president may be involved|with people capable of... well, anything.
{49735}{49875}I believe they attempted assassination at|least once before to get what they wanted.
{49877}{49950}Do you realise the seriousness|of what you just said?
{49952}{50010}Yes, sir.
{50012}{50158}Look, no matter what you think of me,|I consider myself to be a man of integrity.
{50160}{50236}I took the job with the NID|because I strongly believe
{50238}{50308}in civilian oversight of military operations.
{50310}{50363}- Mr Woolsey.|- I don't have any proof, sir.
{50365}{50531}But I'm starting to question whether those|to whom I have dedicated my allegiance
{50533}{50613}are as honourable as I had hoped.
{50665}{50736}You're a resourceful man, Mr Woolsey.
{50738}{50834}If you think there's proof out there, find it.
{51179}{51229}{Y:i}(phone rings)
{51246}{51310}Hammond.
{51312}{51377}Show him in.
{51504}{51540}General.
{51542}{51651}This must be important|for you to have come all this way.
{51653}{51714}I know you have|no reason to trust me, General.
{51716}{51801}That's why I felt|I had to come here in person.
{51803}{51863}Sit down.
{51963}{52023}I take great pride in my work, General.
{52025}{52088}My job demands meticulous research.
{52090}{52178}And above all else,|impartiality in its execution.
{52180}{52240}My aim is to present an airtight argument,
{52242}{52304}a point of view for consideration|by those I serve
{52306}{52356}with no personal agenda whatsoever.
{52358}{52420}Get to the point.
{52422}{52541}I stand by my case against you and your|personnel, despite what I'm about to say.
{52543}{52624}I hope you don't expect|that to gain my respect.
{52700}{52827}You recall the assassination attempt|on then Senator Kinsey?
{52829}{52879}{Y:i}(applause)
{53024}{53067}{Y:i}(screaming)
{53069}{53149}The senator's been hit. He's been hit.
{53179}{53269}I later gained notoriety from bringing|those responsible to justice.
{53271}{53363}I can only assume you're going|somewhere with this.
{53365}{53437}Let's just say I've recently come to believe
{53439}{53585}that those behind the rogue element of|the NID have not entirely been eliminated.
{53587}{53638}In fact, they may be stronger than ever,
{53640}{53717}and Vice President Kinsey|may still be tied to them.
{53719}{53848}They tried to have him killed, then he tried|to take them down. Seems unlikely.
{53850}{53933}At the time, something must have|made Kinsey a liability.
{53935}{54024}After the assassination attempt,|the opportunity presented itself
{54026}{54093}to propel Kinsey|onto the presidential ticket.
{54095}{54153}That could have|motivated a reconciliation.
{54155}{54229}Either way, I'm not surprised|by any of this, Mr Woolsey.
{54231}{54342}Well, I'm sorry to say that I am, and I want|to do something about it if I can.
{54344}{54446}- Like what?|- Like present evidence, if there is any,
{54448}{54552}connecting Kinsey to illegal activity|involving those behind the rogue NID.
{54554}{54634}What makes you think|evidence like that exists?
{54636}{54706}- Because you're sitting right there.|- I'm sorry?
{54708}{54823}Three years ago, you left SGC,|supposedly retired.
{54825}{54938}- I'm guessing you were blackmailed.|- And?
{54940}{54992}And then you came back.
{54994}{55077}Nothing about that|ever made any sense to me.
{55079}{55160}I want to know why, how.
{55191}{55306}You've got something on Kinsey,|something I can use.
{55378}{55503}{Y:i}(Hacker) That's it, we're in.|I'm downloading now.
{55541}{55700}Kinsey's online activities connect him to|NID actions over the last year and a half,
{55702}{55849}including a secret operation I ran out of|Area 51, involvement with the Russians...
{55912}{55962}and the threats to Hammond.
{55964}{56090}You're a piece of work, Kinsey.|Tried to shut down the SGC.
{56092}{56172}You make this big speech|about hating secret organisations,
{56174}{56225}then jump in bed with the NID?
{56227}{56279}{Y:i}(Hacker) I'm done.
{56441}{56545}What are you going to do?|Take down the whole NID?
{56547}{56591}Nope.
{56618}{56772}Here's the deal. Get them to reinstate|Hammond or this disk goes to the press.
{56891}{57007}You've got connections, General.|You must know what's going down.
{57337}{57398}That's not the only copy.
{57449}{57514}Why haven't you given this|to someone before now?
{57516}{57567}I didn't know who to trust.
{57615}{57679}I still don't.
{57992}{58042}{Y:i}(phone rings)
{58073}{58123}Yes, sir, right away.
{58146}{58238}- The president will see you now.|- Thank you.
{58452}{58546}Thank you for seeing me, Mr President.
{58548}{58660}Is there something you wanted|to add to your report, Mr Woolsey?
{58662}{58725}Yes, sir.
{58841}{58951}As I'm sure you're aware, the NID|does not exactly have a spotless record.
{58953}{59075}For several years, a group of rogue|agents operated inside of its ranks.
{59077}{59167}They acted on behalf of a cabal|of international business interests
{59169}{59253}intent on acquiring alien technology|for their own profit.
{59255}{59360}- One could only hope.|- Mr President?
{59388}{59447}I know they're out there, Mr Woolsey.
{59449}{59611}I'm saying that one could only hope|that money was their chief motivation.
{59654}{59750}However, I doubt|the type of person who is behind this
{59752}{59873}is short-sighted enough for that,|given what he must know.
{59875}{59995}In light of the new reality|that Stargate presents,
{59997}{60162}there are aspirations beyond mere|financial greed that could be much worse.
{60194}{60255}I agree.
{60257}{60352}You're here to tell me that the vice|president is still in league with them?
{60354}{60465}If these people are as powerful as|we both think, it does make one wonder
{60467}{60601}what the vice president offered them|in exchange for the price on his head.
{60603}{60748}Obviously, the full control of the Stargate|programme that the White House affords.
{60750}{60876}The vice president brought key financing|to your campaign victory.
{60878}{60968}I just hope|it didn't come at too high a cost.
{61141}{61226}I also hope history one day shows that...
{61261}{61317}I tried to do the right thing.
{61331}{61410}Whose version of history, Mr Woolsey?
