{175}{270}The Nikkei dropped 8% last night,|also the yen continued it's freefall. {270}{346}Also the President of Togo was|deposed about 6 hours ago. {346}{404}He managed to get a plane|to Nigeria, now he's {404}{461}calling for American troops|to help restore order. {525}{565}This is my first day. {565}{605}Yes Mr. President. {605}{659}The New York Times is about|to launch investigations {659}{713}into voting irregularities|in six southern states. {713}{760}I've got Teddy on it. {785}{831}Stan who are these people following me? {831}{876}They work for you Mr. President. {876}{952}Also there's a storm in the Atlantic|about to hit the coast of Maine. {952}{1032}They're expecting gail force winds|and twenty inches of snow. {1141}{1183}Shouldn't I know who they are? {1183}{1223}Yes sir, Mr. President. {1224}{1270}The emergency management|teams are standing by, {1270}{1314}but we've scheduled a call|to the governor for {1314}{1359}ten o'clock so that you|can pledge your support. {1403}{1457}They're not going to follow me|around all the time are they? {1457}{1494}No Mr. President. {1507}{1538}Good. {1552}{1610}Hello. Polly? {1629}{1695}The chairman of the Joint Chiefs|is waiting for you in your office. {1905}{1960}He knows it's my first day right? {1960}{2000}Yes Mr. President. {2018}{2051}Good. {2104}{2132}Francis. {2132}{2182}Mr. President. {2238}{2284}We need to talk sir. {2284}{2315}It's important. {2325}{2445}Guys. Let me enjoy the moment. {2667}{2711}Moment is over sir. {2755}{2790}Right. {2821}{2898}Stan, thank you, thank you. {3101}{3141}Mr. President. {3141}{3211}I'm here to bring you up to|speed on a program we've been {3211}{3281}running out of Cheyenne Mountain|for the past seven years. {3291}{3353}I've already had my top secret briefing. {3353}{3425}Yes Mr. President, but not this. {3474}{3537}Mr. President, for the past|seven years, the United {3537}{3607}States Air Force has been sending|teams to other planets {3607}{3689}by means of an alien device|known as a Stargate. {3726}{3752}That's funny. {3752}{3799}That's very funny. {3799}{3848}My first day. {3848}{3885}This is a joke right? {3885}{3928}I have a great sense of humor. {3928}{3981}I didn't know that you had|one, but this is good {3981}{4032}because we're finding out about each other. {4051}{4162}Now I have to call the ex-President|of Togo, and when I'm {4163}{4274}done, apparently, the rest of|the world is coming to an end. {4277}{4343}The ex-President of Togo|will have to wait sir. {4349}{4386}This is not a joke. {4512}{4630}The United States Air Force has been|sending people to other planets? {4633}{4685}- Yes sir.|- For the last seven years. {4685}{4767}- That's correct.|- By means of an alien device? {4768}{4818}Known as the Stargate. {5010}{5085}Season 7 Episode 20|Inauguration {5283}{5358}Transcript from|stargatedanielfriendly.net {5360}{5435}The Team SG-66 {5817}{5892}Synch by|Nicotr - Toutancarton {6015}{6090}www.stargate-fr.fr.st {6502}{6579}Senator McKnight as requested we|move your meeting to next week. {6579}{6620}He's trying to duck me. {6625}{6665}Doesn't want to commit on the crime bill. {6665}{6693}What shall I tell him? {6693}{6830}Forget it! The son of a bitch came in on our|coat tails. Now it's time to pay the piper. {6897}{6938}What the hell were you thinking? {6938}{6957}Mr. President. {6970}{7010}Why didn't you tell me? {7013}{7137}Sarah would you excuse|us for a moment please. {7213}{7282}I take it you've just been|briefed by the Chairman {7282}{7336}of the Joint Chiefs on our new reality. {7336}{7452}Not only do I find out that the Air Force|is engaged in interstellar travel, {7452}{7536}but I also find out that my running|mate knows all about it! {7537}{7621}- I was under a special executive gag order.|- Since when?! {7621}{7660}A little over six years now. {7660}{7692}That's unbelievable! {7692}{7760}Mr. President, I realize that this|is a little overwhelming right now, {7760}{7887}but what you really need to know is that the|Stargate is being seriously mis-managed. {7887}{7942}It's urgent that we act now. {7942}{7996}What are you talking about? {7996}{8089}I have desperately tried to maintain|some proper control and {8089}{8195}accountability, but the oversight|in place is completely inadequate. {8195}{8307}The military specifically, the|personnel directly involved {8307}{8399}in the SGC, need to be replaced immediately. {8399}{8491}Now, I have several recommendations|regarding.. {8491}{8549}Whoa! Bob, hold on! {8549}{8583}Mr. President. {8610}{8697}Why do you think I was ordered to keep quiet? {8716}{8783}This was a deliberate attempt by the Military {8783}{8858}and the previous administration,|to drive a wedge between {8858}{8933}us, because they knew I was|going to come after them. {8962}{9032}We need to stick together on this. {9032}{9129}For God sake Bob, think|of the magnitude of this! {9129}{9213}- For Gods sake is right.|- Oh come on Bob! {9213}{9297}If you want me to buy into your holier than {9297}{9382}thou position, you've got to|convince me you're right! {9536}{9592}Hosted alien dignitaries. {9626}{9687}Acquired alien technology. {9717}{9759}Traveled back in time? {9815}{9864}Did they really blow up a sun? {9870}{9918}As I understand it sir. {9918}{9938}Yes they did. {9959}{10024}It's got to look awfully good|on the old resume hey? {10024}{10043}Yes sir. {10043}{10095}They've done some pretty amazing things. {10095}{10158}You sound like a fan Francis. {10169}{10265}Well I can't help but appreciate the number|of times they've saved this world. {10297}{10417}Some people think this world wouldn't have|needed saving had we left well enough alone. {10442}{10506}Well, you can't deny what's out there sir. {10515}{10572}The enemy would have come for us anyway. {10578}{10633}We need to be prepared {10633}{10711}and no matter what anyone|says, the people at the SGC {10711}{10799}have done the best job anyone|could under the circumstances. {10824}{10864}You don't trust the Vice President. {10912}{10973}He obviously has his own agenda. {11002}{11077}I know he tried to shut them|down when he was at appropriations. {11090}{11142}Well frankly I think the Vice President knows {11143}{11195}as well as anyone else,|it's too late for that. {11196}{11264}If he didn't six years ago,|he certainly does now. {11264}{11288}What does that mean? {11288}{11395}He clearly doesn't want to shut the gate|down anymore, he wants to control it. {11445}{11536}We have a civilian agency known as the NID. {11536}{11627}Now its mandate has been|to keep an eye on top {11627}{11707}secret projects like the Stargate program, {11707}{11774}and has done so from the beginning. {11774}{11871}I propose that we give this organization {11871}{11998}direct control of the gate,|effective immediately. {12043}{12144}There's only one reason he wanted|to give control to the NID. {12167}{12264}Because he was about to become Chairman|of the Intelligence Oversight Committee. {12264}{12349}Which would put the NID and the|Stargate in his back pocket. {12349}{12410}He had the Ambassadors|eating out of his hands. {12410}{12504}It was only because of some extraordinary|intervention that it didn't work. {12740}{12766}Hello? {12780}{12803}Hello. {12803}{12911}I am Thor, supreme commander|of the Asgard fleet. {12920}{13037}- Commander Thor, my name is..|- Senator Kinsey. {13049}{13165}O'Neill suggested I send you to a distant|planet for your actions here {13165}{13262}but I am reasonably certain|his statement was in jest. {13262}{13358}- I'm sure it was Commander..|- Supreme Commander. {13368}{13439}It is the opinion of the Asgard High Council {13439}{13510}that Stargate Command should be left in the {13510}{13594}very capable hands of General|Hammond and his team. {13606}{13671}And while our continued friendship with {13671}{13755}Earth is not contingent|on that, it is preferred. {13865}{13923}I wonder why he wants it so badly. {13923}{14035}I mean, besides his belief|in his divine right. {14051}{14080}I don't know sir. {14080}{14155}Not that that's not enough, but I get {14155}{14254}this feeling that there's|something more to it. {14265}{14301}Yes sir. {14353}{14463}That rogue element at NID, that he took|credit for taking down last year. {14468}{14564}We've never had any proof connecting|Senator Kinsey to anything nefarious. {14585}{14634}I'm starting to get a bad feeling about {14634}{14696}where some of that campaign|financing came from. {14728}{14767}Mr. President. {14779}{14821}Did I say that out loud? {15235}{15310}Ah, Mr. Woolsey. {15332}{15408}I hope my confidence in you|has not been misplaced. {15421}{15466}You have my word sir. {15470}{15513}Once I've finished presenting the evidence, {15513}{15594}the President will have no choice|but to follow your recommendation, {15596}{15685}and clean house at Stargate Command. {15876}{15931}I'm sorry to keep you waiting Mr. President, {15931}{16021}but I was just wrapping up a meeting with|the Joint Chiefs when I got your message. {16021}{16088}Francis I thought you'd want|to sit in on this one. {16111}{16156}Thank you sir. {16235}{16298}General I don't believe|you know Richard Woolsey. {16306}{16390}For the past several months he|has been working with the NID {16391}{16475}conducting a thorough investigation|of all Stargate Personnel. {16485}{16566}I've asked him here to kindly|present us with his findings. {16566}{16666}If this is a discussion about the competence|of those running the SGC, {16666}{16713}then shouldn't George Hammond be included? {16713}{16799}Unfortunately sir. General Hammond|is part of the problem. {16804}{16886}George Hammond is a highly decorated officer. {16886}{16943}A thirty year veteran with|the United States Air Force, {16943}{17016}and while that may not carry|a lot of weight over at the NID, {17016}{17081}it still means something to|certain people in this town. {17081}{17129}This isn't a trial General. {17129}{17195}Although it certainly wouldn't|surprise me if it came to that. {17195}{17249}Let's stick to specifics here. {17264}{17362}If these people need to be|replaced, I want to see evidence. {17362}{17403}Thank you Mr. President. {17409}{17484}The most recent incident|was less than a month ago. {17488}{17617}General Hammond ordered an off-world rescue|operation, despite ample indication {17617}{17675}that he was sending his|people into an ambush. {17682}{17793}As a result, a very valuable member|of Stargate Command was killed, {17793}{17834}Doctor Janet Fraiser. {17834}{17909}Sending your people into|potentially dangerous situations {17909}{17969}is a natural consequence of military command. {17972}{18044}Maybe so, but ignoring evidence|of an enemy trap {18044}{18124}is at best foolish and at|worst criminally negligent. {18126}{18187}General Hammond admits his responsibility. {18187}{18248}His own report is essentially a confession. {18253}{18333}All that proves is that the man had|the guts to own up to his mistakes. {18333}{18444}Unfortunately in this case, mistakes can|lead to compromising the entire planet. {18469}{18529}I've uncovered a mountain|of evidence implicating {18529}{18598}not only General Hammond but|his first line team as well. {18598}{18634}Those people are Heroes. {18634}{18765}We have no intention of minimizing the|accomplishments of either the General or SG1. {18765}{18839}Their respective achievements|speak for themselves. {18839}{18924}But, intermittent success' cannot {18924}{18997}excuse ongoing misconduct. {19009}{19134}Over the past seven years, SG1 has|shown a disregard for military authority. {19134}{19181}They have compromised National security {19181}{19272}and exercised extremely poor judgment|in the performance of their duties. {19272}{19337}You should be on my speech writing team. {19381}{19433}Come on, cut the crap will ya? {19445}{19508}As crazy as it sounds, {19508}{19638}we're sitting around here talking about|people who are fighting aliens, right? {19657}{19726}Could we please be specific. {19726}{19760}Yes sir. {19787}{19852}Let's start with insubordination. {19861}{19929}Approximately five and a half years|ago the gate was shut down. {19929}{20061}The SGC was under orders to suspend|all off world travel pending a full review. {20061}{20126}SG1 chose to ignore those orders. {20126}{20194}And in the process they|managed to head off an invasion. {20194}{20233}Nonetheless they were guilty. {20258}{20340}And it was by no means an isolated incident. {20886}{20938}Let's go. {21131}{21170}O'Neill! {21230}{21282}Not this time, Teal'c. {21607}{21669}They sabotaged a mother|ship the Goa'uld would {21669}{21722}have eventually used to attack Earth. {21722}{21817}They used the Stargate against the|direct order of a superior officer. {21817}{21912}You can't hold them accountable for|that. Read the damn mission report. {21912}{21980}They were under the influence|of an alien device. {21980}{22024}Yes of course. {22024}{22087}Which brings us to the|alarming frequency with {22087}{22161}which members of SG1 have|fallen under alien influence. {22183}{22233}Major Samantha Carter. {22276}{22341}Implanted with a Goa'uld symbiote {22341}{22462}and then two years ago her body|became host to an alien virus. {22732}{22876}Daniel Jackson, fell under the influence|of alien technology on numerous occasions. {22876}{22997}Had his body play host to not one|but twelve alien psyche simultaneously. {23036}{23076}Most interestingly of all,.. {23076}{23165}apparently died and according to the report, {23165}{23259}evolved into a higher being. {23640}{23722}Teal'c, an alien. {23730}{23780}Former soldier of the Goa'uld. {23780}{23916}Now possesses full security clearance|at our most secret facility. {23916}{23949}He earned that trust. {23949}{24048}Yes, that trust almost|cost SG1 dearly when he {24049}{24148}rejoined the ranks of the|System Lord Apophis. {24175}{24230}Buddy! {24333}{24409}Whatcha got goin' here, Teal'c? {24436}{24570}Well done, Teal’c! Finally you may resume|your rightful position as my first prime. {24574}{24644}He'd been brainwashed by the enemy. {24648}{24712}Yes, like his fellow team members, he too has {24712}{24776}shown a vulnerability to alien influence. {24784}{24867}Which finally brings us to|the team leader, Jack O'Neill. {24961}{25038}Infected by alien contagions|a half dozen times, {25038}{25138}experimented on by extraterrestrials|another half dozen times. {25166}{25234}Had his memories manipulated|on numerous occasions. {25280}{25352}Had the entire repository of an Ancient alien {25352}{25423}database effectively|downloaded into his head. {25783}{25878}Not long after this incident the Colonel|began exhibiting strange behavior. {25890}{25974}Speaking an alien language, demonstrating|super human intellect. {25993}{26058}As it turns out he was undergoing|some sort of transformation {26058}{26105}as a result of the knowledge he had absorbed. {26120}{26201}Were it not for the timely intervention|of another alien race, {26201}{26242}he would have been lost to us. {26261}{26324}How these people maintain|their sanity is beyond me. {26324}{26387}I'm having trouble just|sitting here listening to it. {26387}{26497}That Mr. President is exactly my point.|How can we trust these individuals {26497}{26557}to protect our planet after everything|they've been through. {26569}{26627}Well they seem to be handling it very well. {26645}{26741}But whose to say they're completely|free of these influences. {26751}{26819}They're routinely checked and cleared|by medical professionals. {26828}{26923}We can no longer allow the Pentagon|to look the other way. {26932}{27033}The number of times the members|of SG1 have been compromised, {27041}{27130}should have warranted at least a|consideration of their off-world status. {27147}{27250}Transfers to less decisive positions.|A couple of sick days for Gods sake. {27273}{27354}The first time I heard about this, I|couldn't believe what I was hearing. {27378}{27448}I tried to imagine myself|doing what these people {27448}{27533}have been doing for the last|seven years, and quite frankly {27551}{27634}I don't think any of us can|really understand what {27634}{27735}they've been going through. No|matter how many files we read. {27736}{27868}All the more reason for intensive scrutiny.|If new protocols and standards {27868}{27985}of conduct need to be established.|This is where it has to start. {28168}{28211}What do you say we take a break? {28234}{28263}Yes sir. {28610}{28664}You can't possibly be taking their side. {28719}{28775}I need time to absorb this Bob. {28775}{28867}We may not have much time.|The longer those people... {28868}{28960}Relax. All I'm saying is that|at the moment I'm going {28961}{29045}to give them the benefit of the|doubt. I need to know more. {29045}{29141}I think you know all you need to know|and that includes why you're here. {29165}{29254}I'm here Bob, because the|people of this nation {29254}{29365}elected me to run their country,|not the whole damn galaxy. {29410}{29491}This is my office Bob not|yours, no matter what {29491}{29563}you may think you did to make this happen. {29576}{29687}And don't you ever for|one second forget that. {29733}{29774}Yes Mr. President. {29813}{29847}Let's take a break. {30158}{30244}According to the military, Stargate|Command is our first and {30244}{30340}best line of defense against potential|alien threats to this planet. {30357}{30434}If that's true, we should|be very, very, concerned. {30456}{30562}Time and again General Hammond and SG1 have|demonstrated shockingly poor judgment. {30562}{30667}Placing themselves, the base,|this whole planet in jeopardy. {30692}{30790}The decision to bring back suspect|technology through the {30790}{30881}gate has precipitated a number|of crisis situations. {30881}{30972}For the most part they've been deal't with|within the confines of the SGC. However, {30990}{31081}last year, the effect of an alien|device broke containment {31081}{31157}and found it's way into|the civilian population. {31304}{31362}Sir, I have reason to believe|an individual I came {31362}{31413}in contact with has breached the quarantine. {31573}{31649}The situation was taken care|of, a cover story was created {31649}{31715}and the civilian population|was none the wiser. {31716}{31757}Well, I for one would like|to know how many more {31758}{31810}times we're going to have to|clean up after these people. {31810}{31938}They have a mandate to acquire off world|technology, and that entails necessary risks. {31938}{31977}And how would you define necessary? {32002}{32041}Only a few months ago, General Hammond {32042}{32117}allowed the testing of an|unproven computer virus {32119}{32186}that infected and shut down|our entire gate network, {32187}{32254}leaving us open to a potential|planetary assault. {32255}{32326}You can't hold Hammond responsible|for that. It was {32326}{32404}a Goa'uld modification of the virus|that caused the problem. {32405}{32524}In other words General Hammond effectively|gave the Goa'uld a weapon to use against us. {32574}{32642}Like the President said. You can't even begin {32643}{32711}to understand what their jobs demand of them. {32742}{32839}Maybe not, but I would like to think|that it includes common sense and {32839}{32936}the willingness to set aside personal|feelings in the heat of battle. {32936}{32978}What are you referring to Mr. Woolsey? {32988}{33073}An incident three years ago|when General Hammond allowed {33073}{33150}emotion to override established|Gate room protocol. {33309}{33344}Evacuate the Gate room. {33475}{33532}Colonel O'Neill, we're taking fire. Report {33660}{33692}Colonel O'Neill! {33758}{33782}Sir... {33819}{33859}Give them more time. {34169}{34256}General Hammond's decision to wait|for SG1 worked out in the end. {34264}{34329}But I can't help but wonder if|he'll be so lucky the next time. {34393}{34493}The members of Sg1 have similarly|suspect priorities, and no wonder. {34515}{34588}Not one, but two people that|Doctor Jackson had close {34588}{34660}personal relationships with,|were taken as Goa'uld hosts. {34667}{34767}Teal'cs family and associates among|the ranks of the enemy Jaffa, {34767}{34867}make him an easy target for Goa'uld|retaliation and manipulation. {34888}{34983}And both Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter|have demonstrated an alarming tendency {34983}{35113}to let interpersonal relationships|cloud their decision making process. {35113}{35243}They have a right to their feelings.|Unless of course you're suggesting... {35285}{35376}some kind of inappropriate relationship here? {35376}{35482}Inappropriate yes. That is|exactly what he's suggesting. {35517}{35593}It's difficult to come away|from these reports without {35601}{35704}the distinct impression that there|is a lot more going on between {35704}{35807}Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter than|simple friendship and respect. {35819}{35892}For example, there was an incident last year {35892}{35975}in which colonel O'Neill were missing. {35980}{36068}Based on a report filed by one of the|scientists on the mission in question. {36068}{36148}Major Carter's behavior was erratic at best. {36214}{36295}Major, this technology's unlike|anything we've come across before. {36295}{36317}I know. {36327}{36377}We have no frame of reference,|no way to interface. {36377}{36467}I'm working on it, Doctor. As you should be! {36512}{36542}Right. {36589}{36701}Excuse me? Where's Colonel O'Neill?|I don't see him, do you? {36702}{36746}Did you guys find him while I was gone? {36788}{36832}I say when we're done here. {36832}{36974}That's it? That's your evidence? {36989}{37062}Oh I believe there's a lot more|to this than we've been told. {37086}{37139}Look. Of course I hardly expect them to {37139}{37213}incriminate themselves in their own reports. {37264}{37333}But we can all read between the lines. {37398}{37521}Alright, I've heard enough. Thank you|gentlemen. Thank you Mr. Woolsey. {37534}{37553}Mr. President. {37843}{37884}Mr. Woolsey is here to see you sir. {37893}{37937}Send him in. {38034}{38074}Would you like a drink? {38075}{38103}No thank you. {38151}{38191}That was nice work today Richard. {38200}{38298}Really? I got the distinct|feeling it didn't go so well. {38306}{38381}Ah well. It doesn't matter. {38405}{38427}It doesn't? {38429}{38511}Nah. The Presidents going to come around. {38540}{38601}I didn't get that impression|Mr. Vice President. {38624}{38707}In fact I clearly sensed that he was siding|with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. {38767}{38816}Today was a formality. {38833}{38934}Don't get me wrong, the|job you did was vital. {38941}{39081}The President has to appear to be|hearing both sides, considering his position. {39151}{39196}He'll see things my way eventually. {39218}{39258}And if he doesn't? {39325}{39364}Things happen. {39430}{39475}What is that supposed to mean? {39540}{39594}It means you chose the right side Richard. {39659}{39742}One way or another, I promise you. {39789}{39827}I'm going to win this one. {40090}{40123}Mr. President. {40134}{40255}General. I take it you're here to|make a case for the defense. {40261}{40305}I'm not going to get into|a point counter point. {40322}{40403}Look it may very well be|that Hammond and SG1 {40403}{40486}have done their very best under|difficult circumstances, {40486}{40546}but there's a political aspect to the Vice {40546}{40614}Presidents position that|makes a lot of sense. {40644}{40676}Sir? {40797}{40876}A lot of people know about|the Stargate. {40876}{40959}We can't keep it a secret forever.|When it finally comes out, {40971}{41083}we're going to be in the fight of our lives.|We'll need the publics confidence. {41083}{41204}And you think cleaning house at the|SGC now shows you're in control. {41204}{41225}You disagree? {41225}{41334}I think there's time for that still|sir, but for the immediate future, {41334}{41382}I'm here to let you know|what you're up against. {41382}{41478}And why we need Hammond and|SG1 right now, more than ever. {41493}{41534}Have a seat and fire away. {41752}{41844}The System Lords have proven themselves|to be formidable adversaries, {41862}{41936}and yet despite our obvious disadvantage|we've managed to hold our own. {41936}{42062}Maybe even take them down a notch or two.|We've been good and we've been lucky. {42062}{42155}But I'm afraid that could change.|There's a new Goa'uld in the mix. {42173}{42271}I take it you're referring to|the one who calls himself Anubis. {42271}{42338}He's more powerful than|any of his predecessors. {42339}{42402}He came to our attention|a little over a year ago {42403}{42466}when he tried to take out|Earth with an asteroid. {42466}{42597}And then used our own Stargate as a weapon|against us. We thwarted him both times. {42597}{42671}Since then he's redirected his|attention towards his rivals. {42671}{42743}Waging a year long|war against the Goa'uld. {42815}{42855}You're time is up. {43282}{43341}Well, it's good for us. Let|them fight among themselves. {43366}{43412}The problem is: when he's done with them, {43420}{43518}and it's only a matter of|time, he'll come for us. {43518}{43615}And when he does, we'll be|facing a whole new threat. {44070}{44115}Fire in the hold! {44343}{44377}A super soldier. {44402}{44472}Not just one. He's got a whole army. {44626}{44715}If that's true. I can't imagine|how having Stargate 1 on {44715}{44806}the front lines is going to make one damn|bit of difference when the time comes. {44806}{44895}Anubis may be incredibly powerful,|but he's not invincible. {44904}{44947}There is a way to take him out. {44947}{44977}How’s that? {44977}{45021}By finding the Lost City. {45052}{45095}You'll have to forgive me Francis. {45095}{45164}I'm not up to speed, I've only gone|through about a third of those files. {45199}{45269}The gate system was built by a race of highly {45269}{45331}advanced aliens known as the ancients. {45350}{45414}They died off millions|of years ago, but it seems {45414}{45467}that they haven't disappeared completely. {45935}{45985}They've evolved into higher life forms. {45994}{46027}Well will they help us? {46027}{46050}No Sir. {46050}{46077}Why the hell not? {46077}{46173}It's beneath them, they won't involve|themselves in our affairs. {46222}{46261}So where are you going with this? {46300}{46428}Last year SG1 made an amazing discovery|on a planet called Abydos. {46435}{46483}You’re going to find the lost|city of the Ancients. {46503}{46539}Lost city? {46551}{46592}Didn’t tell him about that either, huh? {46605}{46671}Daniel found a tablet talking|about a lost city. {46675}{46720}Where there are powerful|Ancient weapons capable {46720}{46759}of giving you a big advantage over Anubis. {46772}{46797}Do you know where it is? {46800}{46839}No, but I’ll help you find it. {46843}{46928}Hammond and SG1 are close|to finding the Lost City, {46974}{47011}let them do their job Sir. {47023}{47080}Let them save this planet one more time. {47300}{47344}I wish it were that simple. {47471}{47514}I'm not sure what you mean Sir. {47533}{47636}The Vice President may be a pain in|the ass, but I can't just ignore him. {47636}{47706}You're the Commander in chief,|it's your decision. {47712}{47845}True, but if I cross him|on this one. {47845}{47983}well let's just say that I haven't|viewed all the angles yet. {48019}{48061}Is there anything you haven't told me? {48076}{48111}No Sir. {48167}{48251}Then as far as I can tell,|Hammond and SG1 have done an {48251}{48335}extraordinary job under|very difficult circumstances. {48335}{48461}But in doing so they've made|some mistakes, they've made some {48461}{48575}enemies and frankly I don't|know if I can protect them. {49037}{49066}General. {49066}{49094}Mr. Woolsey. {49094}{49116}Thank you for meeting me. {49133}{49198}I take it that the Vice President|doesn't know about this. {49198}{49276}No and I'd like to keep it that way. {49311}{49343}What do you want? {49382}{49484}I want to warn you. I think|that the Vice President may {49484}{49585}be involved with people|capable of.. well.. anything. {49606}{49668}I believe that they may have|attempted assassination at {49668}{49730}least once before as a means|to get what they wanted. {49748}{49826}Do you realize the seriousness|of what you just said? {49837}{49918}Yes Sir. Look, no matter|what you might think of me, {49918}{50011}I consider myself|to be a man of integrity. {50030}{50124}I took the job with the NID|because I believe in civilian {50124}{50184}oversight of top secret military operations. {50185}{50245}- Mr. Woolsey.|- I don't have any proof Sir, {50246}{50277}but I am starting to question {50284}{50369}whether those to whom I have|dedicated my allegiance... {50369}{50458}are as honorable as I hoped. {50537}{50603}You're a resourceful man Mr. Woolsey, {50603}{50677}if you think there's|proof out there, find it. {51118}{51208}Hammond. Show him in. {51381}{51415}General. {51418}{51495}This must have been important for|you to have come all this way. {51524}{51580}I know you have no reason|to trust me General, {51581}{51637}that's why I felt I had|to come here in person. {51680}{51711}Sit down. {51837}{51905}I take great pride in my work General, {51906}{51989}my job demands meticulous|research and above all us, {51989}{52043}impartiality in its execution. {52043}{52110}My aim is to present an airtight argument, {52114}{52225}a point of view for considerations of those|I serve with no personal agenda whatsoever. {52232}{52264}Get to the point. {52291}{52344}I stand by my case against|you and your personnel, {52344}{52413}despite what I'm about to say to you. {52423}{52483}I hope you don't expect|that to gain my respect. {52571}{52659}Do you recall the assassination|attempt on 'then' Senator Kinsey? {53050}{53089}And later gained notoriety for {53089}{53130}bringing those responsible to justice. {53140}{53203}I can only assume that you're|going somewhere with this. {53233}{53336}Let's just say that I've recently|come to believe that those behind {53337}{53440}the rogue element of the NID|have not entirely been eliminated. {53457}{53510}In fact they may be stronger then ever and {53510}{53573}Vice President Kinsey|may still be tied to them. {53594}{53656}They tried to have him killed and|then he tried to take them down. {53656}{53716}That seems unlikely. {53720}{53801}At the time, something must|have made Kinsey a liability. {53801}{53862}But after the assassination attempt failed, {53862}{53968}the opportunity presented itself to|propel Kinsey onto the presidential ticket. {53968}{54032}That could have been enough|to motivate a reconciliation. {54033}{54097}Either way, I'm not surprised|by any of this Mr. Woolsey. {54097}{54146}Well I'm sorry to say that I am, {54146}{54213}and I|want to do something about it if I can. {54223}{54241}Like what? {54241}{54329}Like presenting evidence, if there is any... {54329}{54412}connecting Kinsey to|those behind the rogue NID. {54413}{54496}What makes you think|evidence like that exists? {54503}{54544}Because you're sitting right there. {54555}{54580}I'm sorry? {54580}{54674}Three years ago you|left SGC, supposedly retired. {54674}{54739}I'm guessing you were blackmailed. {54778}{54809}And? {54809}{54910}And then you came back, nothing about|that ever made any sense to me. {54951}{55030}I want to know why, how. {55062}{55162}You've got something on|Kinsey, something I can use. {55248}{55288}That's it. We're in. {55327}{55360}I'm downloading now. {55412}{55537}Kinsey's on-line activities connect him to|NID actions over the last year and a half,... {55579}{55657}..including the secret operation|I ran out of Area 51,... {55668}{55711}..the involvement with the Russians... {55782}{55827}..and the threats to Hammond. {55835}{55872}You're a piece of work, Kinsey. {55891}{55943}You try to shut down the SGC. {55961}{56050}You make a speech about how you|hate secret organizations,... {56050}{56092}...then jump in bed with|the NID. What is that? {56094}{56115}I'm done. {56310}{56400}What are you going to|do? Take down the whole NID? {56424}{56453}Nope. {56488}{56520}Here's the deal. {56567}{56716}Get them to reinstate Hammond,|or this disk goes to the press. {56716}{56864}You've got connections General,|you must know what's going down. {57206}{57253}That's not the only copy. {57325}{57385}Why haven't you given this|to someone before now? {57390}{57517}I didn't know who to trust, I still don't. {57945}{57978}Yes Sir, right away. {58017}{58053}The President will see you now. {58058}{58087}Thank you. {58325}{58364}Thank you for seeing me Mr. President. {58420}{58497}Is there something that you wanted|to add to your report Mr. Woolsey? {58533}{58557}Yes Sir. {58700}{58794}As I'm sure you're aware, the NID does|not exactly have a spotless record. {58824}{58923}For several years, a group of rogue|agents operated inside of its ranks. {58946}{59030}They were acting on behalf a cabal|of international business interests, {59030}{59127}intent on acquiring alien technology|for their own profit. {59135}{59184}One could only hope. {59210}{59239}Mr. President? {59320}{59394}What I'm saying is that one could only hope {59394}{59482}that money was their chief motivation. {59533}{59617}However I doubt that the|type of person behind this was {59617}{59701}short sighted enough for|that given what he must know. {59752}{59826}In light of the new reality|that Stargate presents, {59868}{59956}there are aspirations|beyond mere financial greed {59956}{60024}that could be much worse. {60067}{60103}I agree. {60130}{60217}You're here to tell me that the Vice|President is still in league with them? {60227}{60318}If these people are as powerful as we|both think it does make one wonder {60339}{60389}what the Vice President|could possibly have offered {60389}{60451}them in exchange for the price on his head. {60472}{60525}Obviously full control of the {60525}{60582}Stargate program that the|White House affords. {60623}{60708}The Vice President brought key|financing to your campaign victory. {60749}{60806}I just hope that it didn't|come at too high a cost. {61013}{61107}I also hope that|history one day shows that... {61107}{61169}I tried to do the right thing. {61201}{61269}Who's version of history, Mr. Woolsey?
