Evolution: Part 2
S7, E12: Dr. Daniel Jackson and his colleague Dr. Lee are tortured by the Honduran revolutionary Rafael who wants to know about the artifact they've found in one of the secret temples of the Goa'uld system lord Telchak. The artifact is actually the original device used by Telchak to create the first healing sarcophagus and it could be the key to discovering how to reverse the life-giving effects of this technology - which system lord Anubis is using to create a race of indestructible supersoldiers. Back at Stargate Command Gen. Hammond tells Col. O'Neill that Daniel and Lee are being held for ransom and will be killed in 72 hours if the United States doesn't pay. Unable to intervene directly because of strained relations with Honduras the president has unofficially authorized the CIA to gather intel on the two scientists' whereabouts. Time is of the essence: Rafael is growing tired of Daniel's refusal to talk about the artifact and has resorted to electric-shock torture. The CIA eventually surmises a location and an agent named Burke requests that Col. O'Neill aid in the extraction. O'Neill is raring to go even though he and Burke have a shaky history: Burke still blames O'Neill for not coming to his defense on a friendly fire charge resulting in Burke being sent to permanent assignment in Honduras. Hammond Teal'c Maj. Carter and her father Jacob (and his Tok'ra symbiote Selmak) hatch a plan to infiltrate Anubis' base on Tartarus where the new supersoldiers are being developed. The stargate on Tartarus is inside Anubis' base and has a powerful force field protecting it. In order to shut down the sensor array Selmak volunteers to wear the captured supersoldier suit which is capable of penetrating the force field. Once the array has been deactivated a Tok'ra scout ship will deliver the truncated SG-1. Radioactive isotopes taken internally will permit the team to move around freely without being detected by the base's internal sensors.
