	* As Carter prepares, O'Neill asks Moughal what kind of combat it is. Turghan draws a curved saber just as Moughal announces that it is a fight to the death. The villagers then hold O'Neill, Teal'c, and Jackson at swordpoint and with daggers. Carter draws a combat knife. The two engage in battle, Carter dodging saber strikes. She eventually wounds Turghan in the abdomen. Turghan knocks Carter off balance, causing her to fall to the ground, but she avoids a fatal blow. In the end, she gains the upper hand and throws Turghan to the ground, brandishing her knife at his throat.		* As Carter prepares, O'Neill asks Moughal what kind of combat it is.

			* Nya stands up and begs Carter not to kill her father, saying she has already won. But Carter insists on hearing it directly from Turghan himself. He then says that Nya is free to go with whomever she wishes, that there can be no war between him and the Shavadai, and finally, that Carter is free to leave because she has won. After these declarations, O'Neill gently pushes away the saber of the villager who had held him at swordpoint.

	* The next day, [[Daniel Jackson]] calls out to Captain ~~[[Samantha Carter\|~~Carter]] from outside her tent but gets no ~~response~~. He ~~enters~~ and ~~discovers that~~ she is ~~gone~~.		* The next day, Daniel Jackson calls out to Captain Carter from outside her tent but gets no answer. He goes in and finds she's not there anymore.
	* ~~A little further away~~, Carter~~, who~~ is tied up, is ungagged by... [[Abu]], who ~~allows~~ her to drink. ~~Abu~~ ~~explains~~ that ~~Carter~~ ~~will~~ be used as ~~a trade~~ for something he values more than anything. Carter protests ~~against~~ ~~this~~ human trafficking, but Abu ~~says~~ he ~~has the~~ right and warns her that where ~~they~~ ~~are going~~, the men are ~~much~~ less ~~tolerant~~ than [[Moughal]], ~~and~~ she ~~will have to~~ learn to keep quiet.		* Meanwhile, Carter is tied up and is being ungagged by... Abu, who lets her have a drink. He tells her that she’s going to be used as leverage for something he values more than anything else. Carter protests about the whole human trafficking thing, but Abu insists it’s his right and warns her that where they’re headed, the men are way less forgiving than Moughal, so she better learn to keep quiet.
	* In the [[Shavadai village]], Jackson ~~confirms to~~ Colonel [[Jack O'Neill]] that ~~no one~~ has seen Carter since ~~the previous day~~. O'Neill asks Jackson to ~~alert~~ [[Teal'c]] to organize a search and ~~resue~~, but Jackson tries to ~~reason~~ ~~with~~ ~~O'Neill~~. Teal'c and Moughal ~~enter~~. Teal'c ~~tells~~ ~~O'Neill~~ ~~that~~ ~~he found~~ hoof prints near the woods~~, easy to spot because~~ one of ~~the horses,~~ Abu's, has a split hoof. Moughal tries to ~~avoid~~ the ~~obvious~~ in front of O'Neill but eventually ~~says~~ that ~~Carter,~~ ~~being~~ a ~~foreigner,~~ ~~is very~~ valuable as for trade among the steppe ~~peoples~~. ~~Moughal~~ wants to ~~accompany~~ ~~the~~ ~~team~~ in search of Carter and his son, ~~feeling~~ ~~that~~ Abu has betrayed him as ~~much~~ as them.		* Back at the Shavadai village, Jackson tells Colonel Jack O'Neill that nobody has seen Carter since yesterday. O'Neill asks Jackson to get Teal'c to organize a search and rescue, but Jackson tries to talk some sense into him first. Just then, Teal'c and Moughal show up. Teal'c mentions he spotted some hoof prints near the woods; one of Abu's horses has a split hoof, making them easy to find. Moughal tries to dance around the subject in front of O'Neill but eventually admits that having Carter—being a foreigner—is super valuable for trade among the steppe folks. He wants to tag along on the search for both Carter and his son because he feels like Abu has betrayed him just like he has them.
	* Abu and Carter approach a village ~~much~~ less ~~colorful~~ than ~~the~~ Shavadai's. ~~The~~ men ~~have~~ a more warrior-like ~~and~~ ~~threatening attitude. The~~ women, ~~all~~ ~~veiled~~ as ~~well,~~ ~~have~~ ~~much~~ ~~duller~~ ~~clothes than the Shavadai women.~~		* As Abu and Carter approach another village that’s way less vibrant than Shavadai's, the men there come off as more aggressive and warrior-like while the women wear drab clothing under their veils.
	* [[Turghan]], ~~the village chief, comes~~ out of his tent, a dagger ~~visible~~ at his belt. He draws his weapon against Abu, ~~but~~ ~~the~~ ~~latter says~~ he ~~wishes~~ to trade. In [[Turghan's tent]], he ~~dons~~ his chief's ~~attire~~, showing ~~the~~ ~~fear~~ ~~Abu~~ ~~has~~ of ~~him~~. ~~Proving~~ ~~his~~ ~~desire~~ to ~~please Turghan~~, he reveals Carter, ~~who~~ ~~begins~~ ~~to protest~~ about ~~her~~ ~~abduction~~. When asked where she is from, Abu says she ~~comes~~ from the ~~[[Ocean~~ of Ogada]]. Turghan threatens Carter as she continues to ~~protest~~. Abu ~~removes~~ her headscarf and orders her to turn so Turghan can ~~admire~~ her. When she refuses, Turghan ~~leaps~~ up, ~~grabs~~ a dagger, ~~and~~ ~~places~~ it ~~under~~ ~~Carter's~~ ~~throat.~~ ~~Carter~~ ~~turns~~ ~~slowly~~ as ~~Turghan~~ ~~describes~~ ~~her~~ ~~beauty~~. Turghan ~~accepts~~ the trade.		* The chieftain of this village, [[Turghan]], steps out of his [[Thurgran's tent\|tent]] with a dagger at his belt. He draws his weapon against Abu, who quickly claims he's there to trade. Inside Turghan's tent, he changes into his chief's garb, showing how intimidated he is by Turghan. To curry favor with him, Abu reveals Carter despite her protests about being kidnapped. When asked where she's from, Abu says she hails from the Sea of Ogada. Turghan threatens Carter as she continues arguing with him. Abu yanks off her headscarf and orders her to turn around so Turghan can check her out. When she refuses, Turghan jumps up with a dagger pressed against her throat while describing how beautiful she is as she slowly turns around for him. Ultimately, Turghan agrees to the trade.

	* O'Neill fires in the air with his sidearm, ~~scaring~~ the three men. At the top of the hill, ~~a more~~ ~~aged~~ man ~~riding~~ ~~a horse~~ joins ~~the group. This man is~~ Abu's ~~father~~, ~~fearing~~ ~~that~~ his son ~~was dead~~ since he ~~wasn~~'t ~~back~~. Abu ~~explain~~ SG1's ~~rescue~~ ~~against~~ the dogs. The man ~~asks~~ about ~~the way~~ to ~~welcome~~ ~~strangers.~~ [[Shavadai rider (Emancipation II)\|~~One~~ of ~~them~~]] points out Carter, ~~she~~ is a "woman". Abu ~~tell~~ that they~~'re~~ ~~coming~~ from the Sea of Ogada so ~~they~~ ~~cannot~~ ~~know~~ ~~the~~ customs. The leader ~~asks~~ ~~about~~ ~~the~~ weapons ~~they carry.~~ Carter ~~answers~~ that ~~that's~~ firearms ~~shooting bullets~~ like ~~their~~ ~~bow~~ shoot arrows. The leader is upset as ~~she~~ ~~dared~~ speaking and ~~demands~~ her ~~death~~. Abu ~~begs~~ his ~~father~~ as ~~the woman~~ saved her life. The leader ~~cancels~~ ~~the~~ ~~order~~ as ~~according to him,~~ "if a woman saves a man's life, hers cannot be taken". ~~The~~ team is ~~now guest~~ of [[Moughal]] ~~but~~ ~~the~~ ~~latter~~ ~~says~~ ~~that~~ if they want to cross ~~their territories, they must learn~~ their ~~customs~~. Carter ~~is reluctant~~, ~~yet [[~~Daniel Jackson]] ~~says~~ ~~that~~ it is a ~~unique opportunity~~ to ~~learn about~~ a ~~900~~ ~~hundred~~ ~~years~~ ~~old~~ ~~culture~~.		* O'Neill fires shots into the air with his sidearm, startling the three men nearby. At the top of the hill, an older man on horseback joins them—it's Abu's dad, worried sick about his son since he hasn't returned. Abu fills him in on how SG1 helped save them from the dogs. The man is curious about how to greet newcomers but [[Shavadai rider (Emancipation II)\|one of the riders]] points out Carter, saying she's a "woman." Abu explains that they hail from the Sea of Ogada and aren't familiar with local customs. The leader then questions their weapons, and Carter explains that their firearms work like bows but shoot bullets instead of arrows. The leader gets upset at her for speaking up and orders her execution. However, Abu pleads with his dad since Carter saved her life. The leader changes his mind, reasoning that "if a woman saves a man's life, hers cannot be taken." Now the team is guests of [[Moughal]], who warns them they'll need to learn their ways if they want to cross through their territory. Although Carter hesitates, Daniel Jackson convinces her it’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to understand a culture that's been around for 900 years.
	* In the [[Shavadai village]], ~~everybody~~ is ~~busy~~ ~~when~~ ~~the small group arrives here. Someone warns the other that~~ they ~~are~~ ~~back~~ ~~with Abu~~. [[Abu's mother]] ~~gets~~ out of a tent, covers her face, and ~~runs~~ to ~~her~~ ~~son to~~ hug ~~him.~~ ~~She~~ ~~takes~~ ~~Carter~~ with her. SG-1 ~~enter~~ inside a ~~tent.~~ Daniel ~~states~~ that only the [[Chagatai]] ~~kept~~ their ~~nomad~~ ~~life~~ 900 years ~~ago.~~ ~~According to him~~ the Shavadai ~~may~~ be their descendants.		* When they reach the [[Shavadai village]], everyone is bustling about as they spot Abu returning. [[Abu's mother\|His mother]] rushes out of a tent, covers her face, and envelops him in a hug before taking Carter along with her. SG-1 steps inside one of the tents where Daniel mentions that only the [[Chagatai]] have maintained their nomadic lifestyle for 900 years; he suspects the Shavadai might be their descendants.
	* Moughal enters ~~the tent~~ and reassures Carter ~~by saying~~ that she can ~~speak,~~ ~~because~~ ~~according~~ to ~~the~~ ~~customs~~ of ~~his~~ ~~people,~~ ~~any~~ ~~woman~~ ~~who~~ ~~shows~~ ~~her~~ ~~face~~ in public or ~~wears~~ men's clothes is ~~punished~~ ~~by death~~. ~~Her~~ ~~action towards Abu gave him a pretext so~~ that ~~they wouldn't kill her. According to him, the~~ old ~~customs~~ will ~~pass,~~ ~~wars~~ ~~will~~ ~~give~~ ~~way~~ to ~~the~~ ~~trade of~~ animals, fabrics, and ~~even~~ medicine. ~~Carter, seeing~~ O'Neill's ~~skepticism~~, ~~points~~ ~~out~~ ~~that~~ many Earth medicines are ~~plant-based~~. ~~Abu~~ offers to ~~follow~~ them, but ~~Moughal~~ ~~prevents~~ Carter ~~from following her teammates until she puts on~~ more ~~"appropriate"~~ ~~attire~~. ~~According~~ to ~~[[Daniel Jackson]],~~ [[anthropologist~~\|anthropologists~~]] ~~live and dress according~~ to ~~the~~ ~~customs~~ of the ~~people~~ they ~~live~~ ~~with.~~ Carter protests, ~~claiming~~ ~~she~~ is ~~not one~~, ~~but~~ O'Neill ~~teases her by saying~~ that today, she is.		* Moughal enters and reassures Carter that she can talk freely since her actions towards Abu give her immunity from punishment under their customs—women showing their faces in public or wearing men's clothes face death otherwise. He argues that old traditions will fade as trade replaces warfare over goods like animals, fabrics, and medicine. Noticing O'Neill's doubtfulness, Carter counters by stating many Earth medicines are derived from plants. Moughal offers to let Abu guide them but insists on dressing Carter more appropriately first. Daniel notes that [[anthropologist]]s adapt to fit in with the cultures they study; although Carter protests she’s not an anthropologist, O'Neill jokes that today she is.
	* While ~~Carter is taken by~~ [[Moughal's wife]] to ~~put~~ on a ~~new~~ ~~outfit,~~ O'Neill, Jackson, and [[Teal'c]] ~~accompany~~ Abu, ~~who~~ ~~shows~~ ~~them~~ ~~the effects of~~ a [[Shavadai anesthetic\|pain-~~relieving~~ ointment]] on a [[Wounded Shavadai\|villager]] ~~who was injured~~ by a flaming arrow: the pain ~~disappeared~~ ~~upon~~ ~~application~~. ~~They~~ return to [[Moughal's tent]] to find Carter ~~in a local dress with a veil. Carter is~~ visibly ~~exasperated and~~ uncomfortable in ~~this~~ outfit~~. Abu is mesmerized by the sight of Carter~~ while ~~the~~ ~~teammates~~ ~~awkwardly~~ ~~try~~ to ~~reassure~~ her. Teal'c and Jackson ~~leave~~ ~~the tent~~ for an evening with the men ~~of the tribe.~~ O'Neill ~~leaves~~ ~~after~~ ~~making~~ ~~sure~~ ~~everything~~ is ~~fine with Carter~~.		* While [[Moughal's wife]] helps Carter into traditional attire complete with a veil—which leaves her feeling frustrated—O'Neill, Jackson, and [[Teal'c]] follow Abu to see how effective a [[Shavadai anesthetic\|pain-relief ointment]] is on a [[Wounded Shavadai\|villager]] hurt by a flaming arrow; the pain vanishes after it's applied. When they return to [[Moughal's tent]], they find Carter looking visibly uncomfortable in her new outfit while Abu can't take his eyes off her; meanwhile, Teal'c and Jackson excuse themselves for an evening with the tribe's men while O'Neill checks in on Carter one last time.
	* Later that night, ~~while~~ ~~the~~ ~~Shavadai~~ ~~are rejoicing by~~ drumming and ~~eating~~, Carter ~~tries~~ to sleep, ~~but~~ someone ~~places~~ a dagger under her throat. As she ~~tries~~ to ~~retrieve~~ her weapon, she is restrained, gagged, ~~and~~ ~~then~~ kidnapped.		* Later that night during festivities filled with drumming and feasting among the Shavadai people, Carter struggles to get some sleep when suddenly someone slips a dagger under her throat. As she attempts to grab her weapon back, she's quickly restrained and gagged before being kidnapped.

	* During the break, Moughal promises to pay Carter the price given by [[SG-1]]. Everyone is surprised, and Jackson explains to Moughal that women are free and emancipated. Jackson also recalls the history of women who fought alongside men, from which the legend of the Amazons is derived. Moughal stops Jackson and says that the ancestral laws were made to prevent spirits from taking over women, spirits that have not returned since the dawn of time. According to Moughal, these spirits could return, but these laws are a pretext to maintain a hierarchy in which a man, even the poorest among his women, is a prince. Jackson points out to Moughal that he has only one wife, which is considered a weakness. When Jackson adds that Moughal is in love with his wife, the clan chief smiles.		* During the break, Moughal promises to pay Carter the price given by [[SG-1]].

	* Turghan explains to Carter what she is now, a [[Toughai]], a woman of the forest. He asks her what household tasks she can do, such as cooking, sewing, or weaving. Carter disappoints him by answering in the negative. Carter says that in her country, she is a warrior and a scholar, doing the same work as men. At these words, Turghan stands up and gives his definition of a warrior: he pillages and burns villages, massacres men, and sells women and children. Because he is feared, 22 tribes pledge allegiance to him. When Carter tells him that he will sell his daughter to have a 23rd tribe, Turghan threatens her. Carter apologizes, but Turghan tells her that he will teach her to be a ~~{{guil\|~~woman}}.		* Turghan explains to Carter what she is now, a [[Toughai]], a woman of the forest.

At these words, Turghan stands up and gives his definition of a warrior: he pillages and burns villages, massacres men, and sells women and children. Because he is feared, 22 tribes pledge allegiance to him. When Carter tells him that he will sell his daughter to have a 23rd tribe, Turghan threatens her. Carter apologizes, but Turghan tells her that he will teach her to be a "woman".
	* While Carter is cutting vegetables, she observes Nya, who is not feeling well and drops the wool while crying. The other women take her into the tent to console her. Carter takes advantage of the women's absence to hide the knife, leave the area, and take a horse to escape. As she enters the forest, a lookout sees her and whistles, stopping the horse, which throws its rider. Two of Turghan's men recapture her and bring her back to the village.		* While Carter is cutting vegetables, she observes Nya, who is not feeling well and drops the wool while crying.

	* In Turghan's tent, he asks Carter what kind of woman she is. Accusing her of thinking only of herself, he condemns the responsible women to be whipped. As he prepares to whip one, Carter stands up and defends the woman, saying it is her fault. Turghan, who says he values horses more than women, tears off Carter's headscarf, holds her head by the hair, and forcibly kisses her, then threatens her with worse tortures than the whip if she does not submit.		* In Turghan's tent, he asks Carter what kind of woman she is.

	* The tent flap opens. [[Abu]] turns around and discovers a young woman, also veiled. He stands up. Carter now understands why Abu kidnapped her. Turghan agrees to pay in gold, horses, or weapons for Carter. Abu refuses and says he wants [[Nya]], the young woman, Turghan's daughter. Turghan refuses because his daughter can only marry a clan chief, and she is promised to [[Chimakka]], the desert warrior, in four days. Turghan offers 300 ~~gold~~ ~~nuggets~~, to be accepted or he will die knowing that Turghan will keep Carter regardless. Despite Nya's despair, Abu takes the gold and leaves in shame. Nya, in tears, is comforted by her [[Nya's mother\|mother]] while Carter is slapped by Turghan, who reminds her of the rules for women speaking in the village.		* The tent flap opens.

	* Teal'c, Jackson, O'Neill, and Moughal find themselves at the spot where Abu and Carter had stopped earlier.

	* During the break, Moughal promises to pay Carter the price given by [[SG-1]]. Everyone is surprised, and Jackson explains to Moughal that women are free and emancipated. Jackson also recalls the history of women who fought alongside men, from which the legend of the Amazons is derived. Moughal stops Jackson and says that the ancestral laws were made to prevent spirits from taking over women, spirits that have not returned since the dawn of time. According to Moughal, these spirits could return, but these laws are a pretext to maintain a hierarchy in which a man, even the poorest among his women, is a prince. Jackson points out to Moughal that he has only one wife, which is considered a weakness. When Jackson adds that Moughal is in love with his wife, the clan chief smiles.		* During the break, Moughal promises to pay Carter the price given by [[SG-1]].

	* SG-1 and Moughal arrive near the village of Toughai. Moughal says the chief is a sadistic enemy, killing for pleasure. O'Neill suggests rescuing Carter that night, but Moughal says it will provoke a war with the support of the 22 tribes. Moreover, he takes no prisoners. Moughal proposes waiting until the next day to buy Carter back, but it is possible the clan chief will take advantage of his new acquisition. O'Neill and Jackson point out that in their country, a woman can say no. Seeing the threat to Carter's life, O'Neill decides to act now.		* SG-1 and Moughal arrive near the village of Toughai.

	* Meanwhile, in the tent, negotiations are underway for Carter, with bids rising to 500 ~~gold~~ ~~pieces~~, as Jackson claims she is not only a warrior and a scholar but also a shaman, capable of predicting the best time to plant for harvests, in communion with the spirits. Moughal adds that in the lands of Ogada, women lived freely like theirs before the law appeared. Despite everything, Turghan is not interested until O'Neill demonstrates his [[Beretta M9]] and offers it to him. Turghan accepts the offer.		* Meanwhile, in the tent, negotiations are underway for Carter, with bids rising to 500 weights of gold, as Jackson claims she is not only a warrior and a scholar but also a shaman, capable of predicting the best time to plant for harvests, in communion with the spirits.

	* Outside, Turghan sows fear among his people by firing a shot into the air, and O'Neill urges his team to hurry before he realizes the weapon has only five bullets left. They leave as Turghan and his men show their joy and lose another bullet.		* Outside, Turghan sows fear among his people by firing a shot into the air, and O'Neill urges his team to hurry before he realizes the weapon has only five bullets left.

	* At night, back in conventional military attire, Carter expresses her joy and gratitude to the team. O'Neill teases her, mentioning a mishap she had on [[P3X-595]]. Carter stops O'Neill and then thanks Moughal for rescuing her and adds that she does not blame him or Abu for what he did. Moughal adds that Abu suffers from the same madness he had at his age: he is in love.		* At night, back in conventional military attire, Carter expresses her joy and gratitude to the team.
