How can I help you? {9130}{9187}Well, we require your expertise. {9188}{9224}Expertise! {9228}{9328}Well you are the foremost expert|on alien technology on this planet. {9330}{9420}Foremost? Well, I don't know|if I'm the foremost expert. {9426}{9486}I might be among the top five. {9513}{9595}Are you familiar with these? {9661}{9706}Yes, yes. {9721}{9809}I actually owned a pair myself|up until not too long ago. {9810}{9849}So you know how they work? {9850}{9880}Of course! {9886}{9984}The bracelets create a physiological|bond between the wearers. {9986}{10036}They were used by the Goa'uld. {10039}{10104}Have you ever heard of the physiological bond being|sustained say, {10106}{10166}after the bracelets were removed? {10178}{10203}No. {10213}{10238}No. {10247}{10328}Barring some freak power surge|in the bracelets themselves, {10331}{10433}that might somehow transfer their effects outright, {10445}{10477}it's highly unlikely. {10481}{10557}But in the unlikely event this did happen, {10570}{10640}would you be able to sever the connection? {10652}{10692}I might be able to. {10714}{10765}Great! Could you tell us? {11017}{11052}How is she? {11076}{11101}Who? {11106}{11131}Vala. {11182}{11227}We don't know any Vala. {11272}{11325}Then I'm afraid I can't help you. {11326}{11406}OK!

I'm not after revenge. {11588}{11693}The truth is, the bracelets weren't|the only thing she took from me. {11712}{11762}She also stole... {11806}{11836}my heart. {11891}{11912}Excuse me? {11913}{11967}{Y:i}I remember it as if it were yesterday. {11969}{11999}Some nights, {12017}{12092}we would steal away from the city, {12093}{12171}strip off our clothing and {12172}{12242}bathe in the springs of our garden. {12259}{12356}We would chase one another|across the mossy hills and then {12376}{12457}lie naked under Adora's moons {12459}{12520}and Vala would sometimes...|- It's OK! {12521}{12558}It's great, thanks. {12566}{12606}We got the picture. {12608}{12667}{Y:i}Very vivid, very disturbing picture. {12668}{12693}Yes. {12697}{12787}Those were wonderful, carnal times. {12797}{12837}But that's in the past. {12854}{12974}All I ask now is that I be given|the chance to see her one last time. {13019}{13099}Bring me Vala and I'll consider helping you. {13242}{13284}{Y:i}Sir!

It was worthless. {19853}{20025}Huh, you're one to talk. That Goa'uld forceshield|inhibitor, turned out to be nothing more|than a power coil from an obsolete cargo ship. {20035}{20065}Fortunately, {20070}{20124}I'm not here for revenge. {20125}{20158}In fact, {20168}{20233}I'm here to set things straight. {20285}{20375}By buying back that worthless necklace. {20388}{20413}Why? {20414}{20449}What's your angle? {20480}{20520}You don't need to know. {20535}{20585}Well then I guess you don't need that necklace. {20586}{20611}No deal. {20612}{20722}However, I am willing to show you|how I want to square things here. {20735}{20810}I might consider buying back|that useless power coil. {20811}{20906}Why would you want to buy back a power coil|from an obsolete cargo ship? {20998}{21053}No necklace, no deal. {21070}{21172}I've got an idea.

It's bogus! Your followers|are worshipping a phoney relic! {23809}{23903}Yes, but ultimately its true worth|can only be judged by the {23904}{24005}genuine faith it instills in the hearts|of the many pilgrims who come to visit the shrine, {24006}{24118}and more importantly, in the charitable|contributions they make while they are here. {24119}{24149}Right. {24158}{24215}{Y:i}Of course, if you were willing to make a {24216}{24295}substantial contribution of your own? {24413}{24448}What do you want? {24512}{24586}I have to get outta here!

Vala can't hide forever and when|she turns up we'll deliver her, dead or alive. {28148}{28308}See that you do and let it be known|that no-one defies the Lucian Alliance. {28421}{28455}So let me get this straight. {28463}{28511}You need to get this ship, {28524}{28560}to get the power coil, {28561}{28707}to get the necklace, to get this guy to tell you how|to undo whatever is keeping you two connected? {28715}{28776}Yeah, that about sums it up. {28780}{28867}Unfortunately that ship is now|in the hands of the Lucian Alliance. {28869}{28937}- The who?|- It's a coalition {28938}{29112}of former smugglers and mercenaries|who've banded together to take advantage of|the power vacuum left by the demise of the Goa'uld. {29113}{29194}The fact they've managed to form|a coherent group makes them unique, and a {29195}{29263}particular threat especially|to the newly formed Jaffa government. {29264}{29300}Can we contact them? {29301}{29356}They won't deal with someone they don't know. {29372}{29419}I assume they know you. {29420}{29532}Well yes, but our last encounter|didn't exactly go as planned. {29541}{29595}Ooh, let me guess. {29596}{29660}You screwed them and now they wanna kill you. {29661}{29720}Actually it was Daniel who messed up the deal. {29721}{29760}You tried to sell them a stolen ship. {29761}{29804}You're the one that told them they couldn't have it. {29805}{29904}The point is if they see either|of us again, they will kill us. {29910}{29954}Can we take this ship by force? {29955}{30004}You'd have to go up against a sizeable armada. {30005}{30061}If the alternative is staying linked to you,|I'm willing to take that risk. {30100}{30165}I'm sorry Dr Jackson but I can't allow it. {30177}{30294}Dr Lee's continuing his research, hopefully|he'll be able to come up with something on his own. {30295}{30329}In the meantime {30337}{30415}you're just going to have to|learn to live with each other. {30445}{30476}And by the way, {30479}{30515}in three days, {30516}{30553}you're coming to Washington. {30554}{30579}- We are?|- I am? {30580}{30679}I need you to testify in front of the Chairman|of the Appropriations Commitee. {30680}{30739}Let him see exactly what we're up against. {30740}{30864}Your experience with the Ori could go a long way|towards convincing him of the dangers headed our way. {30865}{30895}Right. {30944}{31000}We will do our best Sir. {31340}{31365}Daniel, {31378}{31438}do you happen to have|one of these... {31457}{31489}credit cards? {31490}{31565}Yes I do, and no you can't. {31654}{31750}By the way, is a security escort still necessary? {31751}{31801}Do you really have to ask? {31860}{31918}I noticed you've assigned a woman, {31919}{32024}were you afraid I might corrupt|one of your impressionable young men? {32035}{32130}No, I just thought that save someone|the trouble of having to rebuff your advances. {32131}{32186}How do you know you succeeded? {32280}{32325}I'm so bored! {32339}{32422}What do you do around here, for fun? {32423}{32527}I'm doing it.|Translating these artifacts from P4S-559. {32528}{32591}Oh, are they valuable? {32592}{32717}Well their historical value is immense, but there is|no gold or jewels involved if that's what you mean. {32785}{32840}Don't touch that! {32841}{32871}Do you know what? {32872}{33047}You need to occasionally get up from under|the dust of dead civilisations and live a little. {33090}{33132}Why don't you take me out to dinner? {33133}{33265}Look the only way you're getting off this base|is on this little side-trip to Washington and|if we could find a way around that, we would. {33266}{33322}Why don't we go off-world? {33323}{33405}I've got a great little deal cooked up|with some traders on Katana. {33406}{33426}No. {33450}{33489}We could be partners. {33490}{33570}Split everything down the middle, 60/40. {33630}{33730}Hardly seems fair that your life gets|to continue and my affairs are put on hold. {33731}{33804}Excuse me? I should be on my way|to the Pegasus Galaxy right now. {33805}{33920}Oh don't you blame that on me,|it's your own curiosity in the ancient|treasure that cost you a trip to Atlantis. {33921}{33946}You cuffed us together. {33947}{33987}You weren't paying attention at the time. {33988}{34134}Look, we can point fingers all we want|but the fact is, we're stuck together. {34135}{34223}Like it or not, we're just going|to have to learn to get along. {34483}{34523}Found your glasses. {34740}{34800}I'm going to see what Dr Lee's doing. {35488}{35509}Hello. {35510}{35570}What the hell are you doing here? {35590}{35627}Isn't this my room? {35628}{35760}No your room is across the hall...|with the guard in front of it. {35761}{35803}Ah yes, {35806}{35870}they all rather look alike don't they. {35880}{35907}{Y:i}Anyhow, {35908}{35948}{Y:i}since I'm here, {35949}{36014}shall we make the best of it? {36062}{36096}No we shalln't. {36097}{36135}{Y:i}Come on Daniel. {36135}{36229}We're both stuck here on this base|and there's nothing else to do. {36230}{36343}Yes there is! There's sleeping, there's working,|there's finding a way out of this mess! {36344}{36374}What if we can't? {36374}{36424}We might have to spend|the rest of our lives together. {36425}{36475}No! Don't even go there. {36475}{36527}There's literally a bond between us. {36528}{36612}Some people might even find that romantic. {36613}{36658}I'm not one of those people. {36756}{36815}Am I really so repulsive? {36820}{36867}No... {36889}{36919}No! {36986}{37031} No you're not {37044}{37104}repulsive, you're just... {37181}{37201}It's... {37207}{37306}it's just that I know what you're doing,|the whole sexual thing. {37310}{37355}It's a defence mechanism. {37375}{37400}Really? {37418}{37434}Yeah. {37435}{37535}You live a solitary existence, you move from place|to place, you never form any lasting relationships, {37536}{37626}you use sex as a weapon, prevent yourself|from forming any real emotional bonds. {37706}{37751}Textbook case. {37825}{37890}Never realized I was so transparent. {37905}{37928}Vala.. {37929}{38004}No really it's fine Daniel, you're right. {38010}{38115}I can see why you wouldn't want|to become involved with someone so pathetic. {38145}{38204}I wasn't always like this, you should know. {38205}{38250}There was someone once. {38260}{38328}{Y:i}In fact, I was engaged. {38351}{38516}Then I was taken as a host and even though the Tok'ra|eventually freed me, the damage was already done. {38539}{38653}And once you have been spat on, and stoned {38656}{38738}by the people of your own village, {38770}{38800}well, {38828}{38908}you try forming lasting relationships. {38930}{38988}Vala, just wait... please. {38989}{39025}Stop. {39034}{39074}Alright I'm sorry. {39115}{39150}Okay, {39191}{39244}I'm sorry. I'm just... {39245}{39290}sometimes I just, {39309}{39368}I forget what you've been through. {39405}{39483}If you've actually been through any of that...|are you messing with me? {39484}{39500}Is it working? {39501}{39551}Get out, go. {39552}{39588}Get out. {39622}{39647}Go! {39820}{39915}{Y:i}Despite the fact the Jaffa are free|and Anubis has been defeated, {39925}{40005}it would be a mistake to assume|the Goa'uld are no longer a threat. {40006}{40100}But without the Jaffa to do their bidding,|they're effectively crippled. {40101}{40180}Many still have the loyalty of their human slaves. {40180}{40242}Slaves are a long way from an effective army, {40242}{40410}and besides if the Jaffa saw the light, it will only|be a matter of time before the slaves follow suit. {40411}{40475}The Goa'uld aren't the only threat out there Sir. {40476}{40625}So I assume you're referring to these people|that you supposedly met in a distant galaxy. {40626}{40656}Supposedly? {40657}{40725}Well, correct me if I'm wrong. {40726}{40847}But according to the report I read,|you never actually left Stargate Command. {40850}{40904}You went into a coma, had some kind of vision, {40905}{40987}for all we know, the whole thing could|have been an elaborate hallucination. {40988}{41034}One of the Priors came through the Gate. {41034}{41172}A simple man who did nothing but spout a lot|of religious nonsense and then killed himself. {41173}{41220}Senator I was there, {41220}{41267}the man burned himself to death. {41268}{41375}Without the aid of any obvious devices|or technology, it was no parlor trick. {41376}{41471}We're also beginning to get reports that|there are other Priors showing up on other planets. {41472}{41598}Well it's hardly surprising that new religious groups|would arise in the wake of the Goa'uld's collapse. {41599}{41665}The Ori are very real senator. {41666}{41729}As ascended beings they have all|the appearance of genuine God's. {41730}{41796}But again, this is according to your testimony, {41796}{41982}they cannot act in this galaxy without incurring|the interference from these other ascended beings. {41983}{42011}Isn't that correct? {42012}{42039}Technically yes. {42040}{42106}Well, look at it from our point of view Dr Jackson. {42107}{42242}Finally after 8 years and billions of dollars spent, {42243}{42345}the Goa'uld have been neutralized,|along with the Replicators. {42346}{42485}And now suddenly,|out of nowhere, along come these magical Ori {42486}{42567}requiring a redoubling of efforts and expenditures. {42567}{42646}Exactly what are you suggesting Senator? {42677}{42812}The Stargate program has succeeded|in acquiring alien technology. {42813}{42973}So now it's time to devote our resources|to exploiting those technologies for planetary defence, {42973}{43074}namely by building more Daedalus class ships. {43075}{43145}Now we have no intention of shutting you down completely, {43146}{43287}you will continue to operate at 30%|of your current budget, I think you will|find that is more then enough money {43287}{43355}once you deemphasize your explorations. {43356}{43395}If you recall Senator, {43396}{43484}it was new exploration that got us|those technologies in the first place. {43485}{43593}Now there are still thousands of|Stargate addresses left unexplored in this galaxy. {43593}{43735}This program doesn't exist to|satisfy your curiosity Doctor. {43752}{43948}The important thing is that we have learned enough|to defend this planet against any potential threat. {44024}{44091}Do you have something to say. {44092}{44151}Well it's just all so amusing, isn't it. {44151}{44383}I mean only an idiot would assume that|this backwater of a planet will safe because|you have a few ships with decent shield technology. {44440}{44501}You don't look like an idiot to me. {44502}{44628}So I have to assume that the reason|why you want to build more ships is {44629}{44766}like all the men you like big machines|with big engines that fire big missiles {44766}{44882}because you have a deep-seated need|to overcompensate for your own shortcomings. {44883}{44918}Excuse me. {44919}{44989}See, she knows what I mean. {45025}{45099}I think a short recess would be a good idea. {45100}{45155}I'm done here anyway. {45209}{45268}This meeting is over. {45310}{45347}How did it go Sir? {45348}{45416}Let's just put it this way,|you're going after that ship. {45417}{45463}The cargo ship, what about the Lucian Alliance Sir? {45464}{45527}You'll have to figure out a way to deal with them. {45527}{45559}Why, what happened? {45560}{45681}She accused the Chairman of|the Senate Appropriations commitee of having a... {45681}{45752}let's just call it, an insufficient manhood. {45753}{45805}She's gotta go. {45918}{45951}Just a word of warning. {45952}{46021}Tenat and Jup are notoriously unscrupulous traders. {46022}{46146}They're crafty, devious and although stupid,|under no circumstances are they to be trusted. {46147}{46227}In other words they're going to|try and screw us before we screw them. {46228}{46346}It should be alright as long as you keep your|guard up and we keep focus on what needs to be done. {46347}{46422}Close the deal, take the ship,|make sure they don't kill me. {46423}{46461}Certainly not in that order. {46462}{46533}I still think we need some more|boots on the ground, just to be safe. {46534}{46715}And they will most certainly run a surface scan of|the planet, any additional life signs or any ships in orbit|will only raise suspicion and jeopardize everything. {46759}{46886}We're approaching the planet, run a surface scan. {46899}{46953}Four life signs. {46959}{47029}Let's go greet them. {47067}{47125}This is a good plan, very inspired. {47126}{47209}Yes we have you to thank for that. Nothing|motivates like complete and utter desperation. {47210}{47261}You say that now,|but you will miss me when I am gone. {47262}{47301}No I'm pretty sure I won't. {47309}{47369}Just like old times. {47380}{47485}I am offering my assistance|on this mission only to aid Daniel Jackson. {47485}{47592}My participation should not be|construed as a desire to rejoin SG-1. {47594}{47624}Right. {47666}{47752}Colonel Mitchell at times, you remind me of O'Neill. {47753}{47828}Ah, I'll take that as a compliment. {47852}{47890}As you wish. {48427}{48457}Teal'c. {48654}{48768}Hey fella's. What's with all the hostility. {48782}{48893}Vala, how does it feel,|knowing your sorry life is about to end. {48894}{49018}I don't know. How did it feel telling the Alliance|that you half-wits lost their Naquadah. {49019}{49089}Woah. No, no violence. {49090}{49174}No damaging the goods until we've finished our deal. {49175}{49307}Besides I think the Alliance|wants to hold her up as an example. {49308}{49366}Yes, they do. {49375}{49413}Your name? {49439}{49479}Cam Mitchell. {49481}{49516}Bounty hunter. {49525}{49563}Never heard of you. {49564}{49621}That's because I keep a low profile. {49621}{49692}I like to let my work speak for itself. {49693}{49737}You've partnered with a Jaffa I see. {49738}{49856}Look. We'd love to sit around and talk shop, but|we're on the clock. Where's our reward? {49857}{49967}We have a caseload of weapons grade|refined Naquadah sitting in our cargo ship. {49968}{50008}Good, let's go and get it. {50009}{50031}No, {50032}{50076}I will stay here with you. {50077}{50148}While Jup takes Vala and her partner to the ship. {50149}{50283}Once they've been secured he will return|and ring the Naquadah down to you. {50284}{50400}And what's to stop all Jut here from|just ringing you away and just skidattling. {50401}{50424}Our honour. {50425}{50486}It would not be in our best interests to cheat you. {50487}{50605}After all we have reputations as traders to uphold. {50606}{50636}Right, {50654}{50699}reputations. {50878}{50988}I can't help noticing the absence of the case load|of refined Naquadah you guys were promising. {50989}{51091}Do you seriously think the Alliance|would have trusted us with another case, {51092}{51162}after we lost the last one? {51186}{51226}So this is a double cross? {51227}{51284}What happened to upholding your reputation? {51285}{51438}Let's just say those bounty hunters won't be|in a position to do any complaining. {51612}{51669}Hold still! {51731}{51781}Told you. {52109}{52234}So who you like in the NFL this year?|You kinda strike me as a Raiders fan. {52284}{52330}Daniel, why don't you let me do it? {52330}{52402}I can do it. Just do me a favour, I need some help. {52403}{52422}OK, what? {52423}{52503}Go to the panel by the rear exit. {52532}{52559}OK, now what? {52560}{52652}Stay there, shut up and let me finish. {52687}{52745}Yeah, they got a great secondary in the league's. {52746}{52796}The best pass rush. {52796}{52917}Offence runs games and|the defence runs championships, am I right? {53080}{53142}Our cargo ship has returned. {53143}{53220}I suggest you lower your weapons. {53228}{53305}I take it we're not getting our Naquadah. {53306}{53436}No you're not and so concludes our deal. {53959}{53985}Well! {53985}{54046}That went better than I expected! {54047}{54136}I'm picking up ships. Lot's of them. {54138}{54265}Correction. That went much worse than I suspected. {54416}{54499}{Y:i}Stand down and prepare to be boarded. {54500}{54557}Shouldn't we be jumping into hyperspace or something? {54558}{54613}They will pursue us. {54630}{54655}What are you doing? {54656}{54775}Kaius said he customised this ship.|Let's see if there's anything we can use. {54935}{54954}What's happening? {54955}{55014}Multiple energy signatures and phantom vessels. {55015}{55053}They're confusing the Alliance ships. {55054}{55114}Fine! Let's go, let's go, let's go! {55312}{55359}There are two vessels pursuing us. {55359}{55405}You got anything else in your bag of tricks? {55406}{55446}I'll show you. {55750}{55785}What are you doing? {55808}{55838}Vala? {55857}{55897}Wait for it... {55991}{56026}Now! {56157}{56192}Wicked. {56227}{56254}Pulse wave. {56255}{56385}Their power levels spiked and overloaded. It should|take a couple of minutes to restore primary systems. {56386}{56468}Which should give us enough time to... {56584}{56631}Thanks for getting my ship back... {56632}{56742}and for not helping yourselves to|the swag in the ships hidden compartments. {56763}{56838}Wait! Did you just say hidden compartments? {56839}{56886}No! Wait! {56987}{57023}So really. {57024}{57140}Why would you want to trade a power coil|from an obsolete cargo ship? {57140}{57265}So really.
