"Sa'men!" Daniel called out as he saw the old man enter the infirmary. "Jack!"

Jack waved to his friend as he led the leader of Magora into the small hospital, his gun firmly pointed into the alien's back. The room was nothing like the SGC's infirmary. There were few beds; most of the sick and injured floated at varying heights above the floor. They were suspended using energy fields and made for a very eery sight.

"Jack! What are you doing?" Daniel asked with a look of horror at Jack's P-90.

"Just making sure our new friend didn't forget his way here," Jack said. Mattias stood behind him, looking terrified. "Fix her," Jack said simply, poking Sa'men in the back with his gun.

"I'm sorry?" Sa'men asked incredulously.

"She's injured," Daniel explained. "We know you have superior medicine…"

"We know that you did this to her in the first place," Jack corrected. He resisted the urge to go to Sam's side. His better instincts told him to keep close to the Magoran leader.

"And what exactly did I do?" Sa'men asked, looking at Sam's still form. She hadn't moved since Teal'c had laid her there.

"You implanted Colonel Carter's brain with devices that repressed all memory of General O'Neill," Teal'c said

"I did not," he said simply.

"You did," Daniel corrected calmly.

"I assure you, I did not."

"We don't have time for this!" Jack yelled. "Carter's hit her head and those peg things you stuffed in her head are loose. Now fix her!"

Mattias rushed to Sam's side and checked her head for external injuries.

"Mattias!" Sa'men commanded. "She is not our concern!"

Mattias looked apologetically at Jack before returning to Sa'men's side.

"You're just going to let her die?" Daniel asked.

"I have done nothing wrong," Sa'men said. "And I cannot help her."

Mattias looked as though he was about to argue.

"Is that true?" Jack asked Mattias.

Mattias looked scared. Jack didn't blame him. Sa'men was staring daggers at the young assistant.

"I do not know what transpired here," Mattias said truthfully.

"I don't care about that now," Jack said. "We already know what he did to her. Can you fix her?"

Mattias looked to his superior and back at Jack. He nodded shortly.

"Mattias!" Sa'men roared.

"Please Mattias," Daniel implored. "Help her."

"Do not make a move or I will demote you to barrier watch!"

Mattias stood still. It was clear that he didn't know what to do.

"I cannot," he said to Daniel. "I must do as my leader commands."

"Screw him!" yelled Jack.

"Jack," Daniel warned. It seemed obvious that this battle wasn't going to be won with harsh words. "We know you tampered with her mind, Sa'men," he said steadily. "We have a device capable of showing people's memories. We saw you knock her out. We know what you did."

Sa'men said nothing.

"Sa'men, you need to trust us. We can help you," Daniel said. "We have a lot of powerful allies who can help you find your mothers and your children. We've done it before and we can do it again. Please – help us and we can help you."

Sa'men looked thoughtfully at Daniel before turning away with a scoff.

"Sa'men, sir; I believe them. I think they can help us," Mattias said.

"Quiet," Sa'men snapped. "They are merely trying to soil my name. They want to take my position from me!"

"This isn't about you," Daniel said in frustration. "It doesn't matter any more. Just help her, and we will help you."

"No we won't," Jack growled.

"What?" Daniel asked.

"You know what we are capable of," Jack said, glaring at Sa'men. "We'll tell your whole nation what you've done. We'll put our memory devices on you. You won't be able to hide a thing. Your whole planet will be able to watch you knock out Carter and take her memories from her. And we'll let the Magorans strip you of your precious title. Hell, I'll give them this," he said, waving his P-90, "and see what they'll do to you. And if they don't kill you, I will hunt you down and kill you myself."

"Jack!"

"You wouldn't…" Sa'men whispered.

"If you've seen her memories, then you know exactly what I would do for her."

There was silence. Daniel stared at Jack with horror. Mattias shrunk back into one of the room's corners. Teal'c bowed his head in approval.

"You don't understand," Sa'men cried. "She was our last hope…"

Jack didn't budge.

Sa'men slumped against the wall and shook his head, his face drowning in guilt.

"I was going to save my people," Sa'men said quietly, in defeat.

"Well now you're going to save mine," Jack said.
