Prisoners

Sci-Fi & Fantasy • TV-PG • Directed by: Stargate SG-1 • 44 minutes

While exploring a seemingly insignificant planet O'Neill and the SG-1 team are approaced by a ragged figure who pleads for their help from a pursuer named Taldor. They try to defend him only to discover that the man is a fleeing murderer. Taldor means Justice and by aiding the man the SG-1 team becomes complicit in his crime. Over their protestations of innocence the team is sent through a Stargate to Hadante a penal world where brute strength and raw power rule. Strangely the most powerful person on Hadante seems to be Linea (Bonnie Bartlett) a diminutive woman who strikes fear into brutes such as Vindoor with her mysterious powers. SG-1 strikes a deal with Linea: if she will help power the Stargate using her cold fusion power source they will help her escape with them. It seems a fair trade but there's more to Linea than meets the eye.
