The rescue party for SG-13 under Jaffa attack at the Ancient ruins, by SG-1, 5, and 7, turns out a bloody disaster, with doc Janet Frasier among the casualties. General Hammond is most defensive, tipped off by Sam's Pentagon contact, that vindictive senator Kinsey got the president to assign financial auditor Richard Woolsey to evaluate SGC's alleged inefficiency in dollars and lives, without democratic scrutiny. Hostility toward documentary filmmaker Emmet Bregman, who continues to hunt for footage and interview staff, is disproved, as he handles as sensitively as once in Vietnam, winning Daniel's trust and delivering a movie Hammond regrets to be kept within the military due to security.
