Chad's Summary: Daniel Jackson uncovers an Unas slave market, on an alien world, involving his friend Chaka ( The First Ones). Jackson and O'Neill begin talks to trade for an Unas named Chaka. Burrock (Larry Drake) informs Jackson that he can not have Chaka. Instead of Chaka, Burrock offers a counter deal of two Unas. Under the cover of darkness, Jackson and O'Neill launch a rescue mission for Chaka. O'Neill and Jackson are captured leaving Teal'c and Carter to launch yet another rescue mission. After Jackson is unsuccessful in convincing Burrock the error of his ways, Burrock injures O'Neill with a Goa'uld Pain Stick. He also makes a deadly threat to kill an Unas each morning and night if Jackson and O'Neill do not tell him of the other places the Stargate is capable of taking Burrock. Carter and Teal'c's rescue mission is successful. After a fire fight with the slave traders, SG-1 return home. The Unas remain, on the planet, to begin a new life of freedom.
