Enemy Mine

Enemy Mine is the seventh episode of the seventh season of Stargate SG-1.

Plot
After being on the planet P3X-403 for three months Colonel Edwards, who is in charge of the survey operation on the planet, is informed that they have found a significant amount of Naquadah deposits which could be mined to meet the Pentagon's need for the production of BC-303s and battle cruisers. However shortly after this discovery Lieutenant Ritter, a member of Colonel Edwards team mysteriously goes missing while conducting some geological surveys. SG-1 is called in to help with the search and rescue mission of the missing member.

Daniel after having examined some mining artifacts that Colonel Edwards' team had found while working on the planet informs the team that the mining instruments were used by Unas. Daniel recommends to Colonel Edwards that he shut down the operation saying that there still could be Unas on the planet and they may be responsible for Lieutenant Ritters disappearance. Colonel Edwards refuses to listen to Daniel's suggestion. Teal'c, while leading a search party for Ritter, finds him dead hanging up on a wooden structure used by the Unas to ward off their enemies. Edwards, after having recovered Ritter's body, gives the order to find the Unas responsible for the lieutenant's death much to the objection of Daniel Jackson.

During the search the Unas attack the group. Both sides are taking casualties. O'Neill while fighting is knocked down by an Unas. However, before the Unas can finish O'Neil off Daniel speaks to the Unas in his own tongue. The Unas then shouts out to his fellow Unas and they flee into the woods. Edwards argues that they should go after the Unas but Jack tells them they should head back to Stargate Command.

Back at SGC Colonel Edwards is informed by General Vidrine who is in charge of the BC-303 production (possibly also commander of the Air Force Space Command) that the Pentagon wants his team to head back to P3X-403 and commence mining operations. Daniel convinces the General that with the help of Chaka, an Unas that Daniel has met previously, they would be able to settle the Unas problem peacefully. The General tells Daniel that, if the negotiations fail, Colonel Edwards is permitted to use lethal force to get the Naqahdah.

Back on the planet Daniel with the help of Chaka manages to communicate with the Unas. Daniel finds out that the area that they were in was sacred to the Unas because that is the place where they were slaves to the Goa'uld and where they rose up against them to defeat them and end their slavery. Daniel informs Edwards about this and tells him that they shouldn't begin mining there. However the Colonel tells Daniel that they aren't going anywhere because they have just found a solid deposit of Naqahdah which was 53,000 metric tons.

Daniel reports back through a video transmission to the SGC. General Vidrine tells him that they need the Naquadah and that the Unas will have to be tranquilized and relocated. Daniel asks if he can work something out with the Unas instead. The General gives him 24 hours. Daniel and Chaka begin further consultation with the Unas tribe's alpha male Kor Asek. They eventually come to the understanding that if the Unas mine the Naqahdah for them that Earth will provide them with food.

While Daniel is in negotiations with the Unas he hears gunfire. He runs over towards the gunfire and finds a dead Unas that one of the soldiers had killed thinking it was trying to attack him. Daniel informs the soldier that he was only wanting to get a necklace that he had lost in the previous fight with the search party that was located by the soldier that had killed him. The rest of the Unas hearing the gunfire gather together to attack the party. Edwards tells Daniel that he is ready to fight them however Daniel tells Edwards that he would not stand a chance since there are too many Unas.

They immediately head back to the camp and start preparing to evacuate through the Stargate. While they are doing this the Unas surround the camp. The Unas show their true numbers and the SGC personnel realize they are heavily outnumbered and are no match to fight all of them. The Unas' leader comes down to the party and Daniel Jackson tries to make him understand that there doesn't have to be any bloodshed and that they can work together. They eventually agree that the Unas will mine the Naquadah and send it to Earth whilst they in turn would receive food supplies and would become allies in the fight against the Goa'uld.
