(camera clicks) As you know, over the past year I havebeen studying the Unas of P3X
-888.
I've made some amazing discoveriesabout their culture.
I've also been able to categorise almost70 individual words from their language.
But, during a review of the latest batchof digital images, I came across this.
These men, whoever they are,abducted the Unas I refer to as Chaka.
- That's the one that kidnapped you.
- Same one.
Their dress is pre
-industrial butthey don't have any Jaffa tattoos, so their Goa'uld weaponsseem contradictory.
Indeed.
- What would they want with an Unas?
- I don't know.
But I'd like to find out.
- What are you suggesting?
- Like Jack said, what do they want?
For the record, I don't care.
I care.
It might be relevant to investigatehow they got Goa'uld weapons.
They may have other Goa'uld technology.
Now, see, that I really care about.
If possible, I'd like to makeevery effort to rescue Chaka.
The Unas?
Many Unas we've encounteredhad Goa'uld symbiotes controlling them.
Chaka is an ungoa'ulded Unas.
An intelligent being who learnedto trust humans because of me.
And?
These images were takenjust prior to the abduction.
Every time I went back with SG
-1 1to retrieve the video footage, I would leave Chaka a gift.
It's It's an energy bar.
It's something that helped mebreak through when we first met.
I left the bait for their trap.
How do we find outwhere these men took him?
If they've got Goa'uld weapons,you gotta wonder what else they got.
You have a go.
Thank you.
The UAV shows the nearest townto be three clicks in that direction.
Evidence of a substantial population
-Iots of cultivated fields.
Farmers?
Farmers with staff weapons.
- Domestication.
- Yeah.
We'll check things out down there.
Carter, you and Teal'c hang back.
Coverus in case these folks don't like visitors.
Any ideas?
Well, let's see how far honesty gets us.
OK.
This animal comes froman excellent bloodline.
He can crush grain at the stone millfrom first light to day's end.
He can haul any cart,with any load, any distance.
(Unas growls) And he has spirit.
(growls) Who will start the bidding?
(growling) (woman) Watch out! (Unas growling) Do not fear.
It's dead.
Yeah.
- sh**t somethin' like that in the back
- Who are you?
We're travellers.
Peaceful travellers.
Where do you come from?
I've not seen your kind before.
Well, actually,we came through the Stargate.
The, um
- Chaapa
-ai.
- Chaapa
-ai.
- Really?
- Yes.
No one has come throughthe Chaapa
-ai in living memory.
Now you'll have a storyto tell your grandkids.
We come from a planet called Earth.
- What do you want?
- Actually, we came to trade.
Hm?
- Really?
- We're looking for an Unas.
Well, then.
You've come to the right place.
I'm the most respected dealerof Unas in this land.
My name is Burrock.
I'm Daniel Jacksonand this is Colonel Jack O'Neill.
Colonel?
Yes.
It means he's our head trader.
"Head trader"?
I like that.
And you cancall me Colonel Burrock.
It is our custom to welcome visitorswith a drink.
Will you join me?
It is our custom to drink.
Of course.
- "Honesty", huh?
- We're traders.
We've traded.
We trade.
We're trading.
Thank you.
You thank a beast?
Yes.
Positive reinforcement.
We find it a successful method of training.
I'm curious to learn moreabout your methods, and to learn more aboutwhere you came from.
So no one else has actuallycome through the Chaapa
-ai?
I have wondered why there areso many symbols on the pedestal.
I have stood for hours pressing differentcombinations, but nothing happened.
The fact that you have come here from aplace we do not know proves I am right.
The Chaapa
-ai goesmany places, does it not?
- Haven't you travelled to other worlds?
- I have been to one place.
Just one time, so far.
I had to press seven different symbolsto get the Chaapa
-ai to open.
How'd you learn those symbols?
I paid dearly for them.
They have been passed down through the lineage of certainfamilies since the Beast Wars.
Beast Wars?
Long ago, the beasts enslaved ourforefathers through terror and oppression.
They served "the onewith the glowing eyes".
And what happened to him, her?
No one knows.
One dayhe went away, did not return.
Our forefathers learned how the beasts'weapons worked and led an uprising.
The w*r was bloody,waged for many years, but eventually the slaves triumphed and the masters became the slaves.
Since then, the beasts have served us.
(roars) Like the one at the auction that got away,this one comes from our local stock.
I believe him to be untrainable.
His head is not right, even for a beast.
Maybe he's just pissedcos you keep torturing him.
The unfortunate resultof generations of inbreeding.
I'm afraid he'll have to be put down.
- Do you not have this problem at home?
- We've made some progress, actually.
Interesting.
The only choice we hadwas to introduce new blood.
Fortunately, I was able to find some.
This one will make methe wealthiest beastmaster in the land.
(huskily) Daniel.
- He speaks?
- Yes.
- Your name.
- Yes.
That's because he's mine.
You deceived me! You said you came here to trade foran Unas, not to claim one of your own.
I just wanted to make sure he was herebefore we made an issue out of it.
These beasts, all of them bear my mark.
- Yours had no identification.
- You heard him say my name.
I caught him in the wildof the other place.
It was part of an experiment I wasconducting.
Sorry, but I need him back.
Well, I'm sorry.
You cannot have him.
Does Colonel O'Neillrequire our assistance?
He hasn't signalled yet.
I could offer another Unas in exchange.
This one is of good stock,and he's already trained.
You don't understand.
This one's nameis Chaka, and he is coming with me.
- Uh, Daniel.
- Jack.
Why don't we discusswhat we can offer the man in return?
Shall we?
Outside.
(roars) Daniel! Daniel, I am not gonna getinto a firefight over this right now.
If you expect to trade for that Unas,do not think it will come cheap.
So what's your price?
Two Unas of equally pure lineage.
Two for one?
Your Unas is worth it, or youwould not have travelled so far.
Besides, you have more sophisticatedmethods for capturing and training them.
We'll think about it.
Come on.
Excuse me.
You, uh have some sort ofplan to do something about this?
Well, right now I'm not sureI'm gonna do anything.
How can you say that?
Daniel, you wanna go out and catcha couple of Unas, trade 'em for Chaka?
- I think you're missing the point.
- Am l?
- You saw how they treat them.
- Daniel.
I'm not saying any of this is right.
I just don't know what to do about it.
I don't want to changetheir way of life, but Chaka wasn't born intothis kind of domestication.
He's known freedom all his life.
The Unasof his planet live together in families.
- They have art.
- Oh, yes.
I've seen the cave drawings.
I will not leave him here like this.
Even if it means risking human lives?
We should be ableto avoid that, shouldn't we?
- So what's going on?
- They're using Unas as slaves.
They were inbred for so long,they're untrainable.
They needed new bloodso they're not giving Chaka up.
- What shall we do?
- (O'Neill) Wait until dark.
Daniel and I'll go in and extract him.
You'll provide cover.
And we're gonna do itwithout taking human lives.
Down.
(growls) Down.
(growls) Chaka.
Chaka.
Chaka.
(door creaks)
- Chaka.
- Daniel.
Tell him to move back.
- Chaka!
- (Chaka growls)
- He's not moving.
- Move back.
- I could have said that.
- Keka.
Keka.
Danger.
(roaring) Crap.
Come on, we gotta go.
Come on.
- It's OK, it's OK.
- Wok tah!
- What?
I don't know what's wrong.
- Wok tah! He says this one's marked for death.
Come on, it's OK.
He's not.
Let's go.
Wok tah!
- Wok tah!
- He says that they're all marked for death.
- No, Chaka.
- Daniel, with or without him, we gotta go! Sir, you've got company.
At least ten men heading your way.
We're laying down cover fire.
(moaning) (Carter overradio)Colonel, come in.
Over.
Colonel, do you read?
Come in.
Over.
Chaka must have grabbed thatfrom my vest before it was taken away.
- Why would he do that?
- He's seen me using it.
Chaka.
- Give.
- Ko?
"Ko".
I don't know that word.
"Ko", it's give.
Yes, yes, Chaka.
Ko, ko.
Thank you.
- Aka.
- Aka.
Thank you.
Daniel.
Right.
- Sam, it's Daniel.
Do you read?
- Daniel, are you OK?
- Uh, been better.
- Colonel O'Neill?
Physically fine, but I'm not expectinga birthday present any time soon.
Ko.
Ko.
Chaka.
Ko.
Thank you.
Carter.
Report.
There were too many ofthem, sir.
You ordered us not to sh**t to k*ll.
- Yeah, I know.
- We're being pursued by a search party.
Attempting to make itto the gate to get reinforcements.
Roger that.
Out.
Daniel.
- Chaka.
- Chaka.
Aka na.
Ma.
Ma kan.
Aka na.
Keka.
- Ma! Kan.
- Aka na.
Kan cha na.
Chaka.
Chaka.
What's he saying?
Actually, it means a lot of different things.
In this particular case, I'd say "Thank you for trying to free me.
Sorry for getting you into this mess.
" Chaka.
Chaka full of nuts.
Whatever.
- Jack, it's not his fault.
- Daniel I'm chained up in a madman's barnwith a bunch of Unas.
Who's to blame is not at the topof my list of concerns just yet.
Chaka.
Chaka.
Chaka.
- That's amazing.
- What?
Language is a learned behaviour.
Chaka must have taughtthis Unas this word.
Chaka.
Chaka.
Chaka zo.
Chaka zo.
(growling) (growling continues) They're saying Chaka is their leader.
Theyrecognise he wouldn't leave without them.
Daniel, dogs sniff each other's buttsand they're friends for life.
- We still keep them as pets.
- No.
No, this is different.
Chaka made a choice.
Choice is freedom.
These Unas pledgedtheir allegiance to him because of that.
- What are you saying?
- They wanna be free.
They recognise what that means.
- All they said was "Chaka zo".
- Chaka zo.
Chaka zo.
(Daniel) Chaka isn't different.
These Unas were born into domesticationbut they know freedom enough to want it.
- You said this is their way of life here.
- Well, it has to change.
How?
We've meddled in other cultures before.
Well, now you're talkingabout moving in an army.
I'd like to thinkthat there was another way.
Look, in principle, I agree with you.
You injured my father.
I'm sorry.
I really am.
We were just trying to take backan Unas that's rightfully ours.
Stealing is wrong.
Yes.
It is.
Chaka.
Chaka.
Trust me.
A whole lotta people are gonnahave to die before one Unas goes free.
Colonel, do you read?
- Yeah.
What's your situation?
- We're at the gate, sir, but it's guarded.
- Ifwe attempt to get through, it'll get ugly.
- Hold your position.
Radio silence.
Gotta go.
Beast stealing is punishable by death.
But it is my hopethat that will not be necessary.
But that will be up to you.
I also know there were others with youand that they may try to rescue you.
That would not be wise.
I will not hesitate to k*ll you.
What do you want?
Tell me of the placeswhere the Chaapa
-ai can go.
I do not understand why youtake such risks for this beast.
He is very valuable to me, but you canreplace him with one of equal lineage.
Because they're not beasts.
They're self
-aware, intelligent beings, and you have no right to use themas slaves or treat them like you do.
They used our forefathers as slaves andtreated them worse than we do our Unas.
- And that makes you right?
- What would you have us do?
- Free them.
- (Burrock laughs) Untrained, uncontrolled?
A beast would rip melimb from limb, eat me alive.
Then send them to their home world.
Our forefathers could have slaughteredthem all, wiped them from the planet.
But, instead, they saw a wayto use their strength to our advantage.
A way to coexist.
For that, we thank them.
You don't coexist.
You use them as slaves.
Look.
We're not gonna tell you anything,so you might as well let us go.
We'll go back to where we came from,you can go on doing what you do so well.
Because now I know for certainthere is more out there.
Yeah, I know the grassalways looks cleaner.
But a bunch of bad guyswith glowing eyes are out there, and you really don'twanna mess with them.
(screams)
- Teal'c!
- I will not continue to do nothing.
What are you gonna do?
Teal'c! Stop it! He's not gonna tell you anything! (screams) Chaka keka! (roaring) Quiet! (roaring) Quiet down! Quiet! Quiet!
- Ka keka!
- No! (g*n clicks) Impressive w*apon.
But not as efficient as a fire stick.
It seems to stop workingafter it's been fired for a while.
I assume that's what these are for.
- Tell me how to make it work again.
- Give it to me, I'll show you.
It was simple enoughto learn how to sh**t it.
I will learn this part on my own as well.
In the meantime,hunger and thirst will weaken you.
Perhaps tomorrow you willtell me what I want to know.
I do not understand why, but it seems that you care for beasts morethan you care for your own wellbeing.
So be it.
Every morning and night, I willcome here to learn what you know.
If you do not tell me I will k*ll a beast.
It may cost me.
But I believe it may be worth it.
Until tonight.
Maybe we could take out those four guys,but then dozens more'd be all over us.
Then we'd have to get through the gate.
A diversion.
Yeah, Carter.
I got you.
Sir, what's yourstatus?
We heard sh**ting.
We're all right.
One of the Unas took a hit.
- (Carter) Chaka?
- No, he's OK.
I told you to hold your position at the gate.
Yes, sir.
Teal'c thinks we cancreate a big enough distraction to attempt a rescue, and I agree.
But we can't guarantee zero casualties.
Ifthat's still your concern,please advise.
Over.
I don't think we cantalk our way out of this.
For once, I'm not asking us to.
- Damn it, Daniel.
- Let's get outta here.
All of us.
Sir, still awaiting your orders.
Yeah.
We've got three Unaswho are gonna be joining us.
Do what you have to do, Carter.
You! Leave it! Come here! Quick! Water! Before the firespreads to the buildings! Get him!
- Where's Teal'c?
- Trying to be popular.
- Stand back!
- Keka! Keka.
Come on, come on.
Ka cha.
Ka cha!
- Stop!
- Hey! Chaka! It's OK.
Chaka.
Ka
-nay.
Friend.
Friend.
I thought you saidthe gate was heavily guarded.
The men may have goneto town to help put out the fire.
Or we got an ambush here.
Hey, hey! Stop.
Keka! Chaka! Keka! I think he understands why we stopped.
All right.
Fan out.
Cover 'em.
Chaka! (Daniel) Chaka! No! (fires) Chaka.
Chaka.
We're all clear, sir.
Teal'c's dialling the gate.
We should hurry.
There might be more men coming.
Chaka! Come on.
We're taking you home.
- No
-na.
- No
-na.
Home.
- Aka.
- No
-na! Ko.
Aka.
Kek.
We did all this to save you.
Aka.
Kek.
He never intended to come with us.
Ska nat.
Ka keka.
- He thought he was helping us escape.
- So what does he wanna do?
Stay and fight, and free the others.
Daniel, we didn't come here to arm them.
They did that themselves.
I don't think we're gonna stop them.
Ka kek.
Ska.
Ka kek.
- Chaka.
- Chaka.
You just sent him out to start a w*r.
It was his choice.
I told him they didn't have to k*ll.
Do you think he understands that?
They know what freedom isand they're willing to fight for it.
They deserve a chance.
