Note - The Devil You Know is the second in a two part episode, the following is a summary of the first part, Jolinar's Memories -

"Martouf tells Major Samantha Carter that her father Jacob Carter has been captured by Sokar and sent to "hell", which is actually a prison moon Netu terraformed to make it resemble hell. Carter and the rest of her team plan a rescue but are later captured themselves." From - wiki/Jolinar_Memories

As the upper door to the pit closed over their heads for the second time that day no one said anything. The reverberating clank as it was locked had a sense of finality, as though it were literally sealing their fate. They had been so close, so close to escaping only to have it all come crashing down. Just a few more seconds and they would have been on the Tel Tak with Teal'c headed back home. The guards had searched them all thoroughly before throwing them back in, but the only thing left to find was the memory recall control device Martouf had in his pocket.

"Well," Jack finally spoke, "this sucks." He turned to the rest of them, "am I going crazy, wasn't that damn son of a gun dead? We all did see him die, did we not?"

"I did warn you that Sokar could revive Apophis in a sarcophagus if he was sent back through the gate," said Martouf.

"Didn't have much of a choice now did we," countered Jack, "what with the whole burning through our Stargate and all."

"What is Apophis thinking anyways?" Asked Daniel. "Sokar will see this as a challenge. There's no way he could possibly go up against his army and expect to win."

"He seemed pretty confident to me," said Jack.

"Apophis would not have risked the wrath of Sokar unless he believed he had a chance. He currently has that chance to buy his freedom."

"With us," Jack said darkly.

"With the information we hold," Martouf clarified. Apophis holds SG-1 and two Tok'ra. He believes the secrets if the Tauri and Tok'ra could be his." The group was silent for a moment.

"Well," said Jack again, "lucky us."

Sam settled Jacob against the bars of the pit. She wasn't sure how much he was aware of anymore. He hadn't said anything since they were dragged back out of Binar's quarters. Martouf crossed over as she tucked her discarded jacket behind his head.

"How is he?" he asked.

"Hes burning up," Sam replied. Martouf sat down next to her. Neither of them needed to say what was obvious, Jacob and Selmack would last much longer in this place.

After a moment Martouf said, "may I ask you a question?"

"Sure" responded Sam leaning her head back.

"Who is Debra?"

"What?" asked Sam sitting up straight.

"Debra. Jacob was saying it over and over earlier while you were gone.

Sam was silent for a long time. "She was my mother. She died when I was 13."

"I am sorry. What was she like?"

"She was incredible. Brilliant and beautiful, she was my hero when I was a kid. I still miss her every day. Losing her almost destroyed us, my dad and I, but we made it through. He blamed himself for what happened to her for so long until he was blended and I think Selmak kinda helped him let go of the guilt a little and finally start to move on." Sam sighed, "I have to get him out Martouf. I can't lose him here, not after I just got him back."

Martouf reached over and very briefly brushed her hand with his fingers. "I am certain that your mother would be very proud of you Samantha."

If it hadn't been too hot to move, Daniel would have been pacing. It had been ever so slightly cooler up in Binar's quarters, and now that they were back the heat was bordering on unbearable. And seeing how he had spent several summers excavating in Egypt and had lived on Abydos for a year that was saying something.

Abydos. His thoughts drifted. Abydos, where he'd still be now if he'd just buried the damn gate. He'd almost done it several times, he knew in the back of his mind it was the best way to protect the people that had become his family. But then he found the temple with the cartouche room and suddenly he realized a whole galaxy waited for him at the other end of his stargate. At night the stars whispered temptations to him of knowledge and exploration.

Where would he be now if he were still on Abydos? Sitting around the fire enjoying an evening meal with Sha're. Her thick hair glinting in the flickering light. Her laugh filling the warm air. Maybe there would have been a child by now as well. They had talked about it. Would their baby have his eyes or Sha're's?

He looked around the room at the friends he had made and thought of everything they had done together the past three years. The relationships they had built. Everything they had seen and learned and discovered. If he could, if he could go back, would he be willing to trade all that for his life back on Abydos? He was saved from answering his own rhetorical question by Jack sitting down next to him.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Not really," Daniel responded

"Yeah."

This was one of the things Daniel appreciated about his friend. He knew when not to push and to just let things go.

"I'm sorry you know." Daniel said.

"For losing the communicator? Not your fault. They would have found it anyways."

"No," Daniel said quickly, "For going off on Apophis. It probably wasn't smart to goad him. I just… ahhh.." he trailed off, pushing his glasses up to rub his eyes.

"Yeah," Jack said again, "I know."

"So, how long do you think he'll make us wait."

"Oh, I'm sure that slimy good for nothing snake head is composing his evil monologue as we speak."

"Lucky us," Daniel said again.
