Resurrection

"Resurrection" is the nineteenth episode of the seventh season of Stargate SG-1.

Synopsis
SG-1 minus Colonel Jack O'Neill are in Los Angeles where the NID discover a rogue experiment. Also, a Goa'uld explosive device is activated, and they have only hours to deactivate it, or the entire city will be destroyed.

Plot
SG-1 arrives at a warehouse in Los Angeles where a rogue element of the NID was previously operating. Nearly everyone involved has been killed in a wholesale massacre. The only survivors are a scientist known as Dr. Keffler, and a girl, named Anna, who is being held in a strange sort of containment cell. While Major Samantha Carter and Agent Malcolm Barrett attempt to get information out of Keffler, Dr. Daniel Jackson talks with Anna, asking her what the NID wanted with her, and about the strange and disturbing charcoal drawings that decorate her cell. While searching the warehouse's labs, SG-1 discovers the nature of the experiment: Anna is a human-Goa'uld hybrid, created by Keffler and his team in an attempt to access the memories and knowledge of the Goa'uld. It was her Goa'uld personality, Sekhmet, taking control of her body, which brutally slaughtered the rogue cell.

Through analyzing her drawings, Jackson discovers how to open a Goa'uld ark that had been discovered in the warehouse. However, on opening it, it was found to contain a Naquadah bomb. Dr. Bill Lee and Teal'c set to trying to defuse it, while Daniel tries to encourage Anna to remember how to defuse it through meditation. Unfortunately this leads to her alternate personality emerging, who then sets fire to all the drawings in the cell.

Anna manages to escape her cell, as does Keffler when he hears about her escape. They encounter each other in a corridor, and gunshots are heard, after which Daniel discovers them both lying dead. During this time Daniel finds the drawing of the abort code to the bomb and Anna regains control of her body at some point and its Anna, not Sekhmet who kills Keffler which she does because of how evil he is.

Notable Quotes
Carter: I'm in. I have complete access.

Barrett: Nice work.

Carter: The files seem to document recent work going back over three years.

Barrett: Recent work?

Carter: The artifacts go back to Napoleon. The Nazis eventually recovered them.

Barrett: They ended up in Keffler's father's hands.

Carter: They found a Canopic jar. It's a vessel containing a preserved symbiote. Keffler spliced human ovum with DNA taken from a Goa'uld.

Barrett: So the girl is a human-Goa'uld hybrid.

Carter: The Goa'uld pass on knowledge genetically. They were trying to create a human who could tell them everything a Goa'uld would know.They didn't want to wait either.

Barrett: They got the nanite technology from Area 51...

Carter: (finishes Barrett's sentence)...so they could make her grow up quickly. It took them 45 failures before they finally got it right. You can call off that APB.

Barrett: There is only one of her.

Carter: According to this. The previous attempts either didn't blend properly or they grew too fast and died. The technology had to be modified so the human could slowly learn to gain access to the genetic knowledge buried in her DNA ... Oh my God. They tortured the poor girl.

Lee: (scanning the bomb) According to these readings there's a ten pound block of naquadah in this thing.

Barrett: What's that supposed to mean?

Lee: That it'd be very bad if it went off.

Barrett: Well it's a bomb, right? Usually it's not a good thing when they go off.

Lee: True.

Barrett: Can we move this?

Teal'c: From what I know of Goa'uld weaponry, that would be unwise. It may have a sensor that would detect such an action.

Lee: Yeah I-I don't even want to go there. Let's uh, let's see if we can disarm it here first.

Barrett: I'm going to get the local authorities to start evacuating the area.

Lee: Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Barrett: How many miles are we talking about here?

Lee: I don't know, how big is Orange County?

Barrett: (scoffs) You're kidding right?

Lee: Do I-do I look like a practical joker to you?
