==Summary==<br />
<br />
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is a bi-national military organization<br />
formally established in 1958 by Canada and the United States to monitor and defend North<br />
American airspace.<br />
<br />
Using data from satellites and ground base radar, NORAD monitors, validates and warns of attack<br />
against North America by aircraft, missiles or space vehicles. NORAD also provides surveillance<br />
and control of the airspace of Canada and the United States.<br />

<br />
The operational unit at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station (CMAFS) is commonly referred to as<br />
the Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center (CMOC). The installation contains elements from the<br />
American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), U.S. Strategic<br />
Command and Air Force Space Command.<br />
<br />
CMOC is one of the most unique installations in the world. Apart from the fact that it is housed<br />
more than 2,400 feet underground, CMOC is also a joint and bi-national military organization<br />
comprised of over 200 professional men and women from the Army, Navy, Marine, Air Force, and<br />
Canadian Forces. Operations are conducted in eight centers manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a<br />
year. The centers are the Air Warning Center, Missile Correlation Center, Domestic Warning<br />
Center, Space Control Center, Operational Intelligence Watch, Systems Center, Weather Center,<br />
and the Command Center. Additionally, CMOC is linked with 22 Federal Aviation Administration<br />
centers nationwide which provide an internal air picture of the United States.<br />

<br />
The Cheyenne Mountain Complex became completely operational April 20, 1966. The Army Corps of<br />
Engineers supervised the excavation and construction, using 1.5 million pounds of dynamite to<br />
excavate approximately 700,000 tons of granite. The actual operations complex is a series of 15<br />
buildings, 12 of which are three stories tall. The entire operations complex is mounted on 1,319<br />
springs, each weighing 1,000 pounds, that allow the complex to sway up to 12 inches horizontally<br />
in any direction. The tunnel structure is reinforced by 110,000 rock bolts six to 32 feet in<br />
length that function like molly bolts, pushing outward on the walls to prevent implosion or<br />
cave-in. The two main blast doors are 25 tons, 3½-feet-thick baffled steel. The often-seen shot<br />
of the entrance to the Cheyenne Mountain Complex is, in fact, the entrance to the Cheyenne<br />
Mountain Complex!<br />
<br />
In July 2006, military officials in Colorado announced that Norad’s day-to-day operations would be consolidated, for purposes of efficiency, in an ordinary building at Peterson Air Force Base in nearby Colorado Springs. The Cheyenne Mountain Complex will be kept only as a backup, though fully operational and staffed with support personnel — a place of secure retreat should the need arise.<br />

<div>[[Category:Central Coast Salish Indians]][[Image:|thumb|170px|left|]]<br />
<br />
==Summary==<br />
<br />
Among the First Nations of the North West Coast there are 13 different language families, making up 13 ‘nations’. The Coast Salish are part of the Salishan language family, forming a cultural continuum from the north end of the Strait of Georgia to the southern end of Puget Sound, covering coastal regions of British Columbia and Washington, including parts of Vancouver island. Western archeologists believe that the First Nations of the North West Coast have occupied the region as of c.9000BC. The various bands argue that they have been living in that region, interacting with their environment, from time immemorial.<br />
<br />
==The Coast Salish and the Environment==<br />
<br />
The various bands and nations of the area, including the Coast Salish, recognized their dependence on the environment and as such, many aspects of their lives and culture were tied to the environment. This tie to the environment still exists today and has become an important factor in land claims issues, environmental conservation, and in other attempts made by the First Nations to redefine their relationship with the state after the era of colonialism.<br />
<br />
Traditionally, the various bands and tribes within the Coast Salish language group lived in a seasonal round; with large, central, permanent villages in the winter, and temporary summer campsites. For the First Nations on the Coast of British Columbia and Washington, the ocean was the central source of food extraction and in their food production nothing was wasted. <br />
<br />
Maintaining family relations was of high priority, with extended family being as important as the nuclear family. The local group was also of great importance in the social organization of the Salish bands and they consider themselves to be the descendants of a common ancestor. Above all else, the local group served to connect the people to their land. Membership to a local group gave individuals the right to use names and to tell stories that connected them to their ancestors. The Salish peoples relied on their environment for survival. As such, they developed a very special relationship to their land, with their traditions and oral history linking them into the environmental and seasonal cycle of their territories.<br />
<br />
The Coast Salish see themselves as the youngest of all creation, as students who must learn from their environment. They also recognize that as ‘children’, they still have a lot to learn from their environment. <br />
<br />
==Transformation==<br />
<br />
According to native legend as expressed through oral accounts, back in the beginning of time<br />
the Xexa:ls (or Transfomers - three brothers and one sister) traveled through the land, up and<br />
down the river, transforming the legendary beings into rocks and animals and the river’s first<br />
salmon and sturgeon, creating the world as it exists today.<br />
<br />
Before Xexá:ls came, life was very different, animals, birds and even people could change forms and all living life could speak with each other. Xexá:ls taught the people how to relate to and observe the land, water and air in order to learn to survive in balance and harmony.<br />

When she is done she will destroy you. And when that time comes you will be faced with a choice.</blockquote><br />

[Daniel walks towards Replicator Carter but her hand transforms into the huge knife which she used to kill Yu. She stabs Daniel, the knife going completely through his body.]<br />
<br />
[Ba'al is in Anubis' temple.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
A force of rebel Jaffa have managed to take control of the temple at Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
Have the fleet disengage their battle with the Replicators. Take it back at all cost.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Jacob find the inner room containing the Ancient weapon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We have found the Ancient weapon on Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A huge energy wave is released from the Ancient weapon and all Replicators are destroyed.]<br />
<br />
[Daniel is lying dead on the Replicators ship. Replicator Carter looks up as the energy wave approaches and destroys the ship.]<br />
<br />
[Carter and O'Neill are in his office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You think Daniel had something to do with it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I don't know.</blockquote><br />

[Ba'al enters and walks to Anubis, who is sitting on his throne.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
You have failed me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
We've known for some time that the Jaffa cannot be trusted any more. The remaining army of Kull Warriors still stand an excellent chance of retaking Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Anubis, blisters around his mouth, raises his hand to stop Ba'al.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
Worse than failure. Worse than cowardice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Anubis stands, taking a step closer to Ba'al.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
You have betrayed me. Did you not think I would know what you have done? How can you still underestimate my powers?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Your methods were ultimately unnecessary. Not when there was another way of defeating the Replicators.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
I will spare your life for the moment, only so that you may witness the fruits of your labours. First, I will retake Dakara, then, thanks to the modifications you've made to the Stargate, I will destroy every living thing in this galaxy, including you, all at once.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
I do not understand. You could have modified the Stargate yourself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
You have no way of knowing what is necessary and what is not, in the grand design.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ba'al looks puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Whose grand design?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
Mine!</blockquote><br />

[As Anubis leaves, Ba'al stares at him.]<br />

<br />
[Carter enters the briefing room and walks towards O'Neill's office. She pauses as a woman's voice is heard from the office. O'Neill and the woman are standing by the corridor door, then the woman leaves. Carter appears uncomfortable. O'Neill shuts the corridor door, turns to his desk and sees Carter. He beckons her in. Carter grimaces slightly, then walks into the office.]<br />

'''INT&mdash;SGC O'NEILL'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sorry, Sir. I saw you were with someone. I didn't want to interrupt.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What's up?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Who was that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Um, Kerry Johnson. CIA.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill sits, while Carter stands at the side of the desk.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I've heard the name. Oh, she was heading up the investigation into Goa'uld still at large after the incident with The Trust.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, I wanted to talk to you about&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We haven't heard from him in a week.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Doesn't mean anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, we know he was captured by Replicators. Chances are he was onboard a replicator ship when it disintegrated.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All we know for sure is that he's missing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sooner or later&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Forget it! I'm not falling for it this time!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Falling for it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. How many times have you thought he was gone and then he shows up&hellip; in one form or another. I'm sorry, but we're not having a memorial service for someone who is not dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He looks up at the corner of the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(shouts)<br/><br />
Do you hear that? I'm not buying it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks around the room then looks at O'Neill, surprised. O'Neill also looks around the room, waiting for a response from Daniel. He looks at Carter, seeing that she is staring at him, bemused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter raises her eyebrows then looks down.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
He's just waiting for us to say a bunch of nice things about him. Next thing you know, he'll come waltzing through that door. Like, right now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill gestures to the corridor door. Both he and Carter look at the door and wait.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Waltzing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns to look at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As nothing happens, O'Neill turns to find Carter once again looking at him in amazement.]<br />

'''INT&mdash;DINER'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel enters a diner from a sunlit street. The diner is busy, with many customers at the booths and staff bustling around. A 'Please seat yourself' sign is just inside the entrance. Daniel looks around, frowning and walks further into the diner. He looks around at the customers then sits in a booth. A waitress walks up to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
So, what can I get for you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The waitress is Oma Desala. Daniel stares at her, shocked.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[A number of Jaffa are in the temple. Teal'c, Bra'tac and Tolok stand before them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
Brothers Bra'tac of Chulak and Teal'c of the Tau'ri. For your enduring courage and vision, for the strength of will that has brought us to freedom from the Goa'uld, a future we have yet to even comprehend, but one that will be determined by our own unfettered will, I hereby bestow upon you the highest honour any Jaffa can know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Tolok places the tip of a staff weapon to their shoulders.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
From this day forward, you shall both be known as blood kin, to all Jaffa!!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Jaffa cheer. Tolok raises his hand to silence the Jaffa, who all kneel to Teal'c and Bra'tac. They both look at each other, unhappy to see the Jaffa kneeling. Bra'tac walks up to Tolok and, taking his arm, makes him rise.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Brothers!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The other Jaffa rise.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
From this day forward, no Jaffa shall bow before anyone, and never again before a false God.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c nods at Bra'tac and Tolok. Tolok turns to the assembled Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
Hail, Brother Bra'tac! Hail, Brother Teal'c!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Jaffa yell out in response, and a horn is blown. Teal'c and Bra'tac, hands to their hearts, turn to walk out.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Be proud, Teal'c. Today we are free.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
This day is not yet over with.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They walk to the entrance to see thousands of Jaffa gathered below, who raise their arms and shout.]<br />
<br />

Then I shall be proud for you, and of you.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Hey!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete steps out of the elevator.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hi! Thank you, Airman.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As the Airman walks away, Pete kisses her on the cheek.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
So, this is exciting. What's the surprise?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You'll see.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They start to walk along the corridor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Do I get to go through the Stargate? I mean, what planet are we going to?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You don't get to go through the Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Okay. I'm a little disappointed. Still, full security clearance and an all access pass to the SGC? This must be big.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh, it's big.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GUEST QUARTERS'''<br />
<br />
[Carter knocks on the door then enters, Pete behind her. Jacob is sitting in a chair and rises as they walk in.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Pete Shanahan. Jacob Carter. Dad, this is Pete.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete appears stunned.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Dad?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Not quite yet. You have to actually marry my daughter before you can call me that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter grins.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
I was just&hellip; I meant&hellip;stammer, stammer. It's an honour to meet you, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete steps forward to shake Jacob's hand.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Really.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns to Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Why didn't you tell me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter is grinning nervously.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I didn't want you to be nervous.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Why would I? I wouldn't. I&hellip; I've been dying to meet you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I think it was Sam that was nervous.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
How did not telling me help?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It didn't.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete and Jacob look at each other. In the silence, Carter looks uncomfortable. Jacob looks serious as Pete continues to smile.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
This is great! You really got one of those things in your head?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks at Pete, the question wiping the smile off her face.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
If by one of those things, you mean a 2,000 year old Tok'ra symbiote. Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Seriously. Come on&hellip; that has got to freak you right out sometimes. It's weird.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter smiles and shakes her head, while Jacob simply looks at Pete. As Jacob looks at Carter, she again smiles nervously, turning to Pete who is still grinning.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DINER'''<br />

[Oma, notebook in hand, is standing at Daniel's table. A man (Jim), sitting at the counter, turns round to speak to Oma.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Hey!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma and Daniel turn to look at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
What do I have to do to get some more coffee around here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Find your enlightenment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma turns back to look at Daniel, obviously waiting for him to order.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Menus?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
We don't need them here, just order what you'd like.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay, I'll have the truth with a side order of clarity, please.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
The replicator version of Sam was in your head trying to access the knowledge buried in your subconscious. But you gained control of her instead. She killed you to stop you. That's where I stepped in. How's that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Pretty clear.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Well, we aim to please. Customer comes first, you know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So I'm ascended again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Not exactly. Sort of a stop along the way. You have to make that choice for yourself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Waffles.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Bacon on the side?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, I remember this place.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
You should, it came from your mind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
My Grandfather brought me here after my parents' funeral. I had waffles.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Waffles it is!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma turns to leave.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Wait. How do I know it's really you this time. How do I know this isn't some trick Replicator Sam's playing to stop me from controlling her?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma steps back to Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
How deep is the river if you cannot see the bottom?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim turns, waving his coffee mug.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Deeper than the coffee in my cup, I'll tell you that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
(to Daniel)<br/><br />
Excuse me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma walks away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Frank, I need a noseboy and a blanket. Two handfruit wrecked on a shingle with a mystery in the alley.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks bemused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
A warmy with a mouldy lid and two checkerboards, alright?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma walks behind the counter and places the order on a hook.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Oh yeah, hold the paper.</blockquote><br />

'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE INNER ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c is standing by the Ancient computer as Bra'tac walks up to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
We have dreamed of this day for so long. Fought so hard for it and sacrificed so much. Now that it is here&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is not here, brother.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
The balance of power has shifted, Teal'c. Our victory here at Dakara has turned the tide. Jaffa everywhere are abandoning the old ways, coming to see the Goa'uld for the false Gods they are.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We are foolish to rejoice in conquest over the Goa'uld when they are not all dead. Anubis' claim to be a God is false, but his powers most certainly are not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
It is agreed. He must be dealt with. But for once, there may be greater concerns than the eradication of all the Goa'uld. So consumed were we in attaining freedom, that we did not plan nearly enough for its aftermath. The Jaffa have fought with each other for so long that uniting them as one may prove as difficult a task as convincing them to free themselves from the Goa'uld. Generations of war and mistrust will not be healed overnight.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed. If we do not organize quickly freedom will become anarchy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
The High Priests are proposing a leadership be assembled.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
That is wise.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
They wish both of us to sit on the council.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c nods briefly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
You know that will take you from the Tau'ri.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c looks concerned. Bra'tac turns and puts his hand on Teal'c's shoulder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Your purpose in joining them was to one day free the Jaffa. Now that day is upon us. You must not abandon your people when we need you most.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Of that I am aware.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bra'tac pats Teal'c on the shoulder and turns to walk away. He stops and turns back to look at Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
The Council will preside from the new Jaffa homeworld, where a great city is to be erected, a haven for all those who have chosen freedom. Here, on the holy ground of Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bra'tac leaves.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DINER'''<br />

[Daniel is sitting in the booth, looking around. Jim gets up from the counter, holding a newspaper, and walks over to Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />

<br />
[Jim points at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Really?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Yeah. The guy from the paper, Doctor Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim puts the paper down on the table, pointing to an article. The newspaper is called The Ascended Times and the leader is entitled "Jackson Still Undecided", with a large photo of Daniel. Daniel looks at the headline, then back up at Jim.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
It's okay, keep it. I'm done.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Thanks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[At the bottom of the front page of the paper, another headline reads "Anubis plans to retake Dakara", with the additional headers of "Exclusive information on his quest to destroy all life in the Milky Way galaxy" and "He's back again and he's badder than ever." Other headlines read, "Astral diner to be given infinite status", "Wraith on their way to Atlantis", "Yoga, Not the path to enlightenment", "Ethereal awareness seminar to be held in Talnak Quadrant." Daniel reads the Dakara headline, then looks up, frowning.]<br />

It's been two hours since Pete left, you haven't said a word.</blockquote><br />

'He seems nice'?</blockquote><br />

I believe that's three words.</blockquote><br />

<br />

Okay.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />

[He sits up, turning to Kerry who has just woken. She stretches up against him as he places his hand on her head.]<br />

<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Trouble in Jaffa-land.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kerry groans.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />

<br />
[Kerry nods. O'Neill places his hand on the side of her face.]<br />

<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />

<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
You walk through that door, you're choosing the alternative.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes, but once I'm ascended, I can choose to take human form again, just like last time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Technically, yes, but you can't take that paper with you. You won't have any of the knowledge that you've gained here, and good luck ever ascending again. I'm certainly not going to help you a third time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So you're saying I can know Anubis is plotting to destroy all life in the galaxy and all I can do about it is stay here and contemplate my own enlightenment?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
You can eat your waffles.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma walks away. Daniel sighs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(loudly)<br/><br />
No syrup?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He walks up to the counter and sits next to a woman eating pancakes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hi, how's it going? I'm Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He holds up the paper with his picture on the front page. The woman ignores him. He sets the paper down on the counter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Sorry to bother you, I just wanted to know if I could borrow your syrup.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The woman turns a page of a book she's reading.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Although technically, I know it's not going to be borrowing, 'cos I'm not actually going to give back what I've used.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel smiles then grimaces. The woman continues to ignore him. Daniel sighs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Enjoy your meal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He grabs the paper, gets up and walks over to a group of three men at a booth. He slaps the paper down on the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hi guys! How's it going?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The men ignore him. Daniel waves his hand in front of one of them. Oma walks up to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
They're not going to talk to you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Why not? Who are they?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Others. You're not one of them yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You mean Ancients?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
A couple of them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What are they doing here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Watching.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Me too. I told you before, they're always watching.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She holds up a jug of syrup.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
You wanted some motor oil?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She hands the syrup to him and walks away.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Bra'tac, Teal'c, O'Neill, Jacob and Carter are sitting around the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I still wish you guys had blown that thing up when you had the chance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We had to at least be sure that all the Replicators really were eliminated.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
And even though we apparently did get rid of them all in this galaxy, there may still be more elsewhere that could be a threat again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So, we wanted to try to figure out how the device worked in case we ever needed something like it again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Great. Well, now the Jaffa have something that can blow up the entire universe with the push of a button.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
The Jaffa will defend Dakara with their lives.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You want to explain to me why they don't want to wreck it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
The ruins at Dakara have become a symbol of freedom.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Much more, the Jaffa believe that the device's power helped free them, by destroying the Replicators. They also believe that controlling this power will help ensure their freedom in the future.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And get them virtually anything they want.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
The Jaffa would never use it to that end.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Jack is right. No-one should have that kind of power at their disposal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bra'tac sighs. Carter's mobile rings. She moves quickly to answer it, slightly embarrassed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sorry! I thought I'd turned it off.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She checks the display, turns it off, then grimaces. She puts the phone back in her pocket.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So, we're all in agreement? One way or another, it's got to go. Correct?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
If you are suggesting we destroy this device against the wishes of the High Council, I must point out that would not be a good first step in relations between the Tau'ri and the newly formed free Jaffa nation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Jacob.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why don't you do it? They already hate the Tok'ra.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
To be honest, a plan may already be in the works.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Bra'tac look at each other, unhappy.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
But as you know, Selmak and I aren't fully in the loop any longer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Mm.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Harriman enters. He stands behind O'Neill and clears his throat. O'Neill turns to look at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
Sorry to interrupt, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns to Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
Colonel? There's a call for you. Apparently it's urgent.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Harriman leaves as O'Neill turns to look at Carter, who nods slightly, looks at the others, then gets up. She is obviously embarrassed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
Sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She gets up, walks to a desk and picks up the phone.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(into phone)<br/><br />
Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Carter and raises his eyebrows.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Teal'c and I have arranged another meeting of the Jaffa Council.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Our hope is to continue strengthening the bond between previously warring Jaffa by focusing on a common enemy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks over at Carter, who is standing with her back to the room, still talking into the phone. She turns to look at the others around the conference table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(into phone)<br/><br />
Yeah, I know, it's just that it's not a good time right now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
There are still many Goa'uld that remain a threat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(into phone)<br/><br />
I know, I'm sorry. I don't know, it could be an hour, it could be all day. Yeah, okay. Yeah, me too. Bye.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She hangs up the phone then turns back to the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sorry about that, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Emergency?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[All the men at the table have stood up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, no. Just a misunderstanding.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Hey, weren't you supposed to meet Pete at the florist this morning?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks up as Carter glares at Jacob.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(through gritted teeth)<br/><br />
No&hellip;Dad.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
No, I'm sure that's what you said. For the wedding.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(through gritted teeth)<br/><br />
I know!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She shakes her head at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Go ahead, Carter. It's supposed to be your day off, anyway.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's okay, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Teal'c and Bra'tac are meeting with the Jaffa. There's nothing to do around here. Go pick flowers!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He smiles at her and leaves the room, while Carter sighs and glares at Jacob.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DINER'''<br />
<br />
[Oma walks over to Daniel's booth with a jug of coffee. Daniel, head resting on his hand, is reading the paper. ]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
More coffee?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Sure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma fills his mug.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Can you sit a minute?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma sits at the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Ooh&hellip; how am I supposed to put it? 'Man, are my dogs, tired.'</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
That's good</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
How are your waffles?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Best I ever had. Can you tell me why you stopped me from killing Anubis the last time I was ascended?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Because if I didn't stop you, the Others would have. And they wouldn't have been as nice about it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You mean, they wouldn't have erased my memory and left me naked on a planet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
That was your choice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel simply looks at Oma.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Okay, maybe not the naked part.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel smiles slightly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
But I didn't totally erase your memory even though I was supposed to.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
There&hellip; okay. Why is it okay to break some rules, and not others?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim enters the diner, whistling. He has another newspaper.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Look, if you knew I had a problem following the rules the last time, why offer me ascension again?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma is watching Jim as he walks to the counter and sits down. He is still whistling, loudly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Because I didn't want to see you die without at least giving you a second chance. Look, I have trouble following the rules. I'm not really supposed to help people ascend. You're supposed to do it on your own.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
But you do it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
I walk the line. Believe me, I crossed it a few times and paid for it dearly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma glances at Jim, briefly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
My point is, you just need to be willing to put your prior human existence into the proper context.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim is still whistling.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Sorry, I've got to get back to work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She gets up and grabs the coffee pot. She walks past Jim and around the counter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Coffee, please.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PETE'S CAR&mdash;DAY'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is in the passenger seat of the car, with Pete driving. She gazes out of the window, looking pensive.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Chocolate or vanilla?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm sorry, what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Chocolate or vanilla? The cake. Just in case you can't make the meeting with the caterer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh, I'm sorry. I really do want to be a part of this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
I hope so. It's your wedding too.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete grins.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
I realise this must be weird for you. Worrying about place settings when we could be destroyed by aliens at any minute.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
A little,</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
We're not about to be destroyed by aliens, are we?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Cos, you seem a bit distracted.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
So, your Dad like me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Of course! Why wouldn't he?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks away and down.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Tough guy to read.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You just have to get to know him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
How about Selmak?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Ah! He thought you were very charming.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
For a human.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, generally speaking, that's my type.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They both smile.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Good. Did I tell you I also have a surprise for you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, what is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Tricky. You'll see.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter smiles.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC O'NEILL'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill is sitting behind his desk, with Bra'tac and Teal'c sitting in front of him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
The Council remains unwilling to destroy the weapon, for fear it will weaken the resolve of the Jaffa to stand united against the remaining Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You realise we have to consider that thing a threat to our security?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
The Council recognises the danger and has decided to take action by aggressively seeking out and killing Anubis. Once that threat has been eliminated they will reassess the decision to destroy the device.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, we don't even know if Anubis can be killed yet, do we?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We must not suggest to the Jaffa that he cannot be. At the very least, we can eliminate the remainder of the forces of Anubis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
I believe this quest will unite many of the still fractured armies by giving them focus on a common goal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Got anything to go on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Many of the Kull Warriors were killed in battle with the Replicators but intelligence gathered indicates that Anubis may be marshalling the remaining Kull Warriors on Tartarus.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
A pre-emptive strike is being prepared.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DINER'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel pours sugar from a jar into his coffee. He turns to see Oma and Jim speaking at the counter, Oma gesturing angrily. Oma's words are indistinct. Oma walks away from Jim, into the rear of the diner. Daniel walks over to Jim, who is stretching in his chair. A woman is sitting at the counter two seats down from Jim. She is reading a book. ]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hey.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Hey! Daniel. How's it going?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Do we know each other? I feel like I know you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Call me Jim. We ran into each other last time you were ascended.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Ah. Nice to meet you, again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They shake hands and Daniel sits between Jim and the woman.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Still haven't made up your mind, huh? Death or everlasting enlightenment. I don't really see the choice, myself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Of course, I don't want to be dead, it's just that&hellip;uh. Listen, the reason I came over here was to ask you&hellip; why are you talking to me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Oh, you mean because these other snobs won't even look at you. I'm different, like Oma.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Really? Because I kind of have the impression that you two don't quite see eye to eye.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
What? That little&hellip; that was nothing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim looks quickly around to make sure that no-one is listening. He moves closer to Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
We both operate somewhat outside the normal rules and regulations. Sometimes we disagree on how far outside we should go, that's all.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They both look at Oma as she steps up to take plates away from the food counter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Really?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Yeah. As long as these other guys don't strike me down, I figure I'm okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I guess that's what I'm trying to figure out. I mean, I&hellip; I feel like, if I agree to ascend, I'm signing a contract that I don't even know what it says. Obviously, I had a little trouble with the fine print the last time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
You sure did.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You know about that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
It's all out there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I just don't see how I can agree to stand by and let Anubis destroy every living thing in the entire galaxy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Yeah, that's a tough one. Speaking of which, have you seen the latest?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim slides a newspaper over to Daniel. The headline reads "Secret Plan Revealed. Anubis' dastardly plot to regain Ancient Weapon of Destruction."]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
He's a crafty one. Really knows the ins and outs of the rules.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel continues to read the article.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
I give him 3-1 odds to succeed. You want to know the irony of it all? That device was originally used by the Ancients to create life in the Milky Way. Well, recreate it, after the whole plague thing. No kidding. Now it all gets undone with the push of one button, leaving Anubis to recreate things all over to his own liking. There's a waste of a million odd years of evolution, huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns to the Others, seated around the diner.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
(yelling)<br/><br />
I say someone should really do something to stop him!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Others ignore him. Jim turns back to Daniel, waving his hand at the Others in disgust.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
No-one will. Can I get a coffee?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PETE'S CAR'''<br />
<br />
[The car stops outside a house with a For Sale sign. Carter steps out, her eyes closed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Can I open them now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete walks around from the driver's side.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Almost.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter shuts the car door. Pete takes her hand and takes her forward a few steps.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Okay, now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter opens her eyes, then looks shocked. Pete smiles at her. They are standing outside a large house. Pete has his hand on her back.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
What do you think?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Uh, well, uh&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Speechless, huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah. Yeah</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Isn't it great? Remember our first night together? You described the house you always wanted?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I can't believe this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They start walking towards the house.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
The kitchen isn't yellow, but we can paint. 'Come on, I'll show you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete walks on, leaving Carter in the middle of the lawn.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
And you're not gonna believe the back yard. The dog's gonna love it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Dog? Oh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DINER'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is still reading the paper.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
This is bad.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Yeah. This pie is great, and there's nothing to wash it down with.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He upends his empty mug.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Is there anything you can do to stop Anubis? I mean, you did say someone should do something.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
I did, didn't I. Well, as far as what can be done, it's kind of complicated.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, so Oma tells me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Yeah, well, I don't think she's told you everything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What does that mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
I'm saying&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim looks uncomfortable.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
I've already said too much.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, you haven't. In fact, you've hardly said anything at all.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
You gave up eternal enlightenment, all the knowledge and power of the universe. Why do you think you did that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
To fight for humanity, any way I could.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Yes, very big of you. You rejected everything Oma offered you, and now she just gives you another chance? Based on the goodness of her heart?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, that is the point isn't it? I mean, she is ascended, she is good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Sure, best intentions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Do you know what happened between me and Oma? Why did I choose to take human form again?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
You should ask Oma.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel sighs.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;O'NEILL'S HOUSE&mdash;DAY'''<br />

[Carter is sitting in her car staring at the house. She sighs, then gets out and walks towards the house. O'Neill is in the backyard, barbecuing. Carter walks around the corner of the house.]<br />

Hi, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter!</blockquote><br />
<br />

Look, I'm sorry to bother you at home like this, but um&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
How did you know I was here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I saw the smoke.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill wipes his sweater and face.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Look, is this okay? I mean, I could have called first.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, yeah. I mean, it's fine. So, um&hellip; what brings you to this neck of the woods on such a fine day, in my backyard?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, actually, I've&hellip; ummm&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter clears her throat.]<br />

The truth is, I've been trying to work up the nerve for a lot longer than that.</blockquote><br />

Oh?</blockquote><br />

No! Look, I..I&hellip;uh&hellip;I'm sorry, this is my fault, I really, I shouldn't have come by unannounced like this.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Well, you know, now that the cat's out of the bag, you're here, why don't you just stay? I'm sure there's enough charred meat on the grill for all three of us.</blockquote><br />

Look, obviously I don't want to just die. Don't suppose there's any other options?</blockquote><br />

I can't get into it. What's stopping you from ascending?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don't know.</blockquote><br />

Maybe it's not me I'm doubting.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Look, whether you choose to accept living on a higher plane of existence has nothing to do with me or anything that I can or can't tell you. It's all up to you.</blockquote><br />

But there is something you're not telling me.</blockquote><br />
<br />

<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
It's okay. He's okay. He led a pretty full life.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I didn't live with Jolinar that long, but I think I have some idea of what it's like.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Well, this is a little different, Sam. As you know, when a Tok'ra symbiote dies, they can prevent their host from dying, as Jolinar did with you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
The problem is, that last selfless act requires a certain amount of energy and a conscious effort.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What are you saying?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
By all rights, Selmak should have been dead weeks ago. I wouldn't let him go. I thought we needed him, that I needed him to help you stop the Replicators.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Dad?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
He hung on as long as he could. Then he slipped into a coma just after we activated the weapon on Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You've known all this time, since then?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I didn't want to spoil your wedding. Now, I thought we could make it.</blockquote><br />

I don't know. Off doing whatever it is she does when she's not here.</blockquote><br />

Yep.</blockquote><br />

No.</blockquote><br />

<br />
[Jim looks around the diner then leans towards Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
What do you know about Anubis?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I know he's half ascended, whatever that means.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
There are many planes of existence, between human existence and ascension. Basically, the Others use their collective powers to keep him from affecting anything on a grand, cosmic level.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
But it's okay for him to destroy an entire galaxy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
It's okay for him to do anything he could have done, back when he was a regular, old Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I see. What does this have to do with Oma?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Goa'ulds are bad. Anubis is as bad as they come.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
And?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And ascension requires that someone be pure of spirit. One must be good to the very core to achieve enlightenment. So how does someone like Anubis ascend?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Now he's getting it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Oma helps people ascend but she'd never help somebody like Anubis!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Maybe not on purpose.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Are you saying he tricked her somehow?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Rule number one! No lone ascended being shall help a lower, ascend! Lowers are what we call humans and such. If you deserve to be here you should be able to get here on your own. If there's an exception, for whatever reason, a majority vote by the collective can get you in. But Oma thinks she knows better, and she's taken her licks for it. I admit for the most part, she's brought good people onboard, but as the old saying goes, nobody's perfect. Not even us higher beings.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Oma helped Anubis ascend.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim clicks his fingers and points at Daniel. Oma walks up to them, angry.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
(to Jim)<br/><br />
Get out. Get out, now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim turns to her, than looks at his watch.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Oh, look at the time. Gotta go kid, business to attend to. It was nice talking to you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim pats Daniel's leg, stands and puts on his jacket. He glances at Oma then walks away, whistling. Oma turns and glares at him as he leaves the diner. She turns back to look at Daniel who is looking at her, uncertain.]<br />

<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
They can come.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I can't believe there's nothing they can do. They can remove a Goa'uld. In the last few years you've almost perfected the process of saving the host.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
That process instantly kills the symbiote before it releases toxins. It's too late for that, Sam. I'm sorry. I hate to do this to you, but I should have been dead four years ago. Since then, I've been all over the galaxy. I've done things most men never dream of.</blockquote><br />
<br />

I've heard that before.</blockquote><br />

You know, there's just one thing I don't understand.</blockquote><br />

Just one?</blockquote><br />

Is the Air Force the only thing keeping you two apart? Rules and regulations? Because if it is, you're making a very big mistake.</blockquote><br />

No. He must have found some old, Ancient research on ascension. When he came to Kheb he knew what he was doing. When I realised the horrible mistake that I had made I tried to undo it, but I couldn't. That's when the Others stepped in.</blockquote><br />

It's complicated.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, what isn't around here?</blockquote><br />

They warned him. He wasn't allowed to use any knowledge or power, unless he otherwise would have gained it as a Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />

They haven't stopped me from continuing my work. I've tried to make up for it, help when I can.</blockquote><br />

It's your punishment. You're forced to watch, powerless to interfere, and let Anubis do whatever he wants, just to punish you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
I told you before. The galaxy you're from, the plane of existence, is so small and insignificant compared to the rest of the universe.</blockquote><br />

I don't care. It's wrong.</blockquote><br />

Excuse me! Isn't it enough, already? I mean, a whole galaxy of innocent people, enslaved and tortured for generations, now on the verge of being destroyed, for nothing? For what?

Okay, okay. Well, I know you can hear me. Hasn't she suffered enough already? Certainly, enough other people have suffered to punish her. Don't you think you made your point?</blockquote><br />

I knew from the beginning. Guess I just thought when you said yes that&hellip; that you were worth the risk. Don't say I deserve better. Can't get much better then you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter shakes her head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's not true.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
I wish I could believe this had something to do with your father. You needed some time to sort things out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete looks at Carter, who can hardly meet his eyes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
I guess all I can say is, I hope you get what you want.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
(angry)<br/><br />
What do you want? You want me to get down on my knees and beg?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
God, no, of course not. It's just, I thought you would react differently.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete is obviously close to tears.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Bye, Sam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He stands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Pete&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He walks over to the Sold sign and pulls it off, revealing the For Sale sign.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill paces as Teal'c reports to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The rebel fleet guarding Dakara has fallen to the forces of Anubis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter enters and walks up to them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Bra'tac and the remaining rebel ships will not arrive in time. Anubis now controls the weapon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, then we find the biggest damn nuke we can and we shove it right through the gate. Now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Anubis will certainly have the gate shielded. The nuke will not arrive in one piece.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
If we can dial the Alpha site we may be able to prevent the weapon from connecting a wormhole to either planet. It may only buy us the thirty eight minutes that the gate&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Go, go, just go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter leaves.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter runs down the stairs from the briefing room. Harriman is at the controls.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sergeant, dial the Alpha site, now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The gate begins to turn.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
Wait a minute, that's not me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill walks up behind Harriman.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
I don't know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Stargate activates.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
Incoming wormhole!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The iris closes. Teal'c stands next to Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's not going to stop the energy from the weapon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
If it is the weapon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Stargate opens.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
No iris codes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We're too late.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Self destruct.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's not going to destroy the gate, and theoretically there's only a remote chance it would disengage an active incoming&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He shakes his head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Carter set the self-destruct.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DINER'''<br />
<br />
[Jim is still behind the counter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Oh, you make a great cup of coffee.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He puts the coffeepot away then walks to the front of the counter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Well, got to go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim waves at Daniel and Oma. Daniel looks to Oma, who simply sits there. Daniel launches himself from the booth to attack Jim but he only runs through him. Daniel stops, confused. He and Jim turn to face each other. Jim smirks.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
There's nothing you can do. You don't have the power.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
But I do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim turns to face Oma, who rises from the booth. A light engulfs her and she changes from the waitress uniform into a dress. The Others, sitting around the diner, turn to look at her in shock.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
You can't kill me either.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
I can fight you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Well, you can't win.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
It won't matter, you won't be able to do anything but fight me back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
What are you going to do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Something I should have done a long time ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She walks towards him. Jim looks scared.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Oh no, no. No!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As Oma walks towards him she raises her hands. Jim raises his also, and as the touch they are both engulfed in bright light. The light forms into a ball which disappears through the ceiling. The Others are watching, in as much shock as Daniel. Daniel walks to the place where Oma and Jim were standing, and looks around in confusion. ]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The self-destruct time counts down from eight seconds. Harriman looks on, tense. The timer suddenly stops at 1.26 seconds and the Stargate closes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
Wormhole disengaged.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What's going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
I don't know, it must be some kind of&hellip; system malfunction.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's impossible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Shut it off.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter leans down to a keyboard.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Aborting self destruct.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Carter look at O'Neill, who huffs out a breath.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SGC COMPLEX DAY'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter, O'Neill, Bra'tac and Teal'c are sitting around the conference table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
The Kull warriors became disorganized and confused, as though they no longer knew what to do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
They no longer had a master to serve.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
After that, they were easily defeated.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Many Jaffa lost their lives at Dakara. Those that survived are united as never before. And we are in agreement. The weapon must be destroyed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, that's good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
A new memorial will be erected in its place, so that our triumph over the Goa'uld will never be forgotten.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I still don't quite understand what happened. One minute Anubis is about to push the button that ends all life in the galaxy and the next minute he's just&hellip; gone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed, it is a great mystery.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
One can only assume he was vanquished by some beings. If not, why would he forfeit the weapon and his army.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and O'Neill look at each other.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You think?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's the only thing that would explain the self destruct not going off.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Of what do you speak?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
O'Neill believes that Daniel Jackson was somehow responsible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(from nearby, muffled)<br/><br />
Nope, it wasn't me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks up in shock.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Anybody else hear that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods her head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'm in here!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[All four turn to face O'Neill's office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's Daniel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill rises and walks over to the office doorway, where he suddenly stops.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Don't! Don't come in!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Woah, hey there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks around and pulls down the SGC flag, holding it to Daniel who is out of sight. Daniel grabs the flag as O'Neill looks around, embarrassed. Daniel walks out of the office, the flag draped around his lower half. Carter looks at him then turns away, her mouth open in shock. Bra'tac and Teal'c stare at Daniel. Bra'tac smiles and nods his head. O'Neill, who has been steadying the flagpole, also turns to look at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It's uh&hellip; a long story.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks up, still embarrassed. Daniel turns to look at O'Neill, who looks away.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;LAKESIDE&mdash;DAY'''<br />
<br />
[Carter and O'Neill are sitting on a small jetty outside a cabin, fishing.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This is great.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I told you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Can't believe we didn't do this years ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes, well, let's not dwell.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
There are no fish in this pond are there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Nope.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter laughs. Daniel and Teal'c walk around the side of the cabin, carrying a cooler, two chairs and two fishing rods. They walk up to the grass, next to the jetty and start to set up the chairs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Nice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel takes beers to O'Neill and Carter as Teal'c sits.]<br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''PREVIOUSLY ON STARGATE SG-1'''<br />
<br />
[Flashback from "Divide and Conquer" Season 4.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Something neither one of us can admit given our working relationship, our military ranks?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Carter look at each other from either side of the force field.]<br />
<br />
[O'Neill is strapped into the Zatarc detector chair.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I didn't leave&hellip; because I care about her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Flashback from "Grace" Season 7.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
It's time to let go of the things that prevent you from finding happiness. You deserve to love someone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter is in tears.]<br />
<br />
[Flashback from "Chimera" Season 7.]<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Carter are in an elevator.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What's his name?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Now, why would&hellip;?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Humming.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks at O'Neill briefly then turns away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Pete.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Pete.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Pete Shanahan, he's a cop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Flashback from "Affinity" Season 8.]<br />
<br />
[Pete shows Carter a ring box, containing a diamond ring. Carter is completely surprised.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh, my God!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete looks at her, smiling slightly.]<br />
<br />
[Flashback from "Meridian" Season 5.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL:<br/><br />
Maybe I did something good every now and again, but nothing I've ever done seems to have changed anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
There is really only one thing we can ever truly control. Either we are good or evil.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel turns to look at Oma.]<br />
<br />
[Flashback from "Full Circle" Season 6.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
I know who you are Daniel Jackson, but you know not who I am.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Anubis' face starts to glow. He is an ascended being.]<br />
<br />
[Daniel raises his hands and directs energy at Anubis. The energy is blown back as Anubis raises his hand to defend himself. Her'ak cowers on the floor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No. Don't do this!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel is spirited away.]<br />
<br />
[Flashback from "Fallen Part 1" Season 7.]<br />
<br />
[A man is lying naked on the ground.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Last year, you died.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'm dead?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Actually, you&hellip;ascended to a higher plane of existence.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Flashbacks from "Reckoning Part 1" and "Reckoning Part 2" Season 8.]<br />
<br />
[Replicators swarm through the ship. They zoom in on Daniel and beam him away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
He was beamed away before our very eyes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Replicator Carter and Daniel are in a tent, which suddenly changes to the inside of the Replicator ship.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
The human-form Replicator is attempting to probe your mind as we speak.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel is encased by Replicator blocks which retreat into the wall, freeing him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
When she is done she will destroy you. And when that time comes you will be faced with a choice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel walks towards Replicator Carter but her hand transforms into the huge knife which she used to kill Yu. She stabs Daniel, the knife going completely through his body.]<br />
<br />
[Ba'al is in Anubis' temple.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
A force of rebel Jaffa have managed to take control of the temple at Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
Have the fleet disengage their battle with the Replicators. Take it back at all cost.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Jacob find the inner room containing the Ancient weapon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We have found the Ancient weapon on Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A huge energy wave is released from the Ancient weapon and all Replicators are destroyed.]<br />
<br />
[Daniel is lying dead on the Replicators ship. Replicator Carter looks up as the energy wave approaches and destroys the ship.]<br />
<br />
[Carter and O'Neill are in his office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You think Daniel had something to do with it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I don't know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods.]<br />
<br />
[End flashbacks.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;ANUBIS' PLANET'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ANUBIS' TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[Ba'al enters and walks to Anubis, who is sitting on his throne.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
You have failed me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
We've known for some time that the Jaffa cannot be trusted any more. The remaining army of Kull Warriors still stand an excellent chance of retaking Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Anubis, blisters around his mouth, raises his hand to stop Ba'al.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
Worse than failure. Worse than cowardice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Anubis stands, taking a step closer to Ba'al.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
You have betrayed me. Did you not think I would know what you have done? How can you still underestimate my powers?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Your methods were ultimately unnecessary. Not when there was another way of defeating the Replicators.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
I will spare your life for the moment, only so that you may witness the fruits of your labours. First, I will retake Dakara, then, thanks to the modifications you've made to the Stargate, I will destroy every living thing in this galaxy, including you, all at once.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
I do not understand. You could have modified the Stargate yourself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
You have no way of knowing what is necessary and what is not, in the grand design.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ba'al looks puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Whose grand design?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
Mine!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As Anubis leaves, Ba'al stares at him.]<br />
<br />

'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter enters the briefing room and walks towards O'Neill's office. She pauses as a woman's voice is heard from the office. O'Neill and the woman are standing by the corridor door, then the woman leaves. Carter appears uncomfortable. O'Neill shuts the corridor door, turns to his desk and sees Carter. He beckons her in. Carter grimaces slightly, then walks into the office.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC O'NEILL'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sorry, Sir. I saw you were with someone. I didn't want to interrupt.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What's up?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Who was that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Um, Kerry Johnson. CIA.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill sits, while Carter stands at the side of the desk.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I've heard the name. Oh, she was heading up the investigation into Goa'uld still at large after the incident with The Trust.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, I wanted to talk to you about&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We haven't heard from him in a week.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Doesn't mean anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, we know he was captured by Replicators. Chances are he was onboard a replicator ship when it disintegrated.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All we know for sure is that he's missing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sooner or later&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Forget it! I'm not falling for it this time!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Falling for it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. How many times have you thought he was gone and then he shows up&hellip; in one form or another. I'm sorry, but we're not having a memorial service for someone who is not dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He looks up at the corner of the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(shouts)<br/><br />
Do you hear that? I'm not buying it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks around the room then looks at O'Neill, surprised. O'Neill also looks around the room, waiting for a response from Daniel. He looks at Carter, seeing that she is staring at him, bemused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter raises her eyebrows then looks down.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
He's just waiting for us to say a bunch of nice things about him. Next thing you know, he'll come waltzing through that door. Like, right now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill gestures to the corridor door. Both he and Carter look at the door and wait.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Waltzing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns to look at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As nothing happens, O'Neill turns to find Carter once again looking at him in amazement.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DINER'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel enters a diner from a sunlit street. The diner is busy, with many customers at the booths and staff bustling around. A 'Please seat yourself' sign is just inside the entrance. Daniel looks around, frowning and walks further into the diner. He looks around at the customers then sits in a booth. A waitress walks up to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
So, what can I get for you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The waitress is Oma Desala. Daniel stares at her, shocked.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[A number of Jaffa are in the temple. Teal'c, Bra'tac and Tolok stand before them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
Brothers Bra'tac of Chulak and Teal'c of the Tau'ri. For your enduring courage and vision, for the strength of will that has brought us to freedom from the Goa'uld, a future we have yet to even comprehend, but one that will be determined by our own unfettered will, I hereby bestow upon you the highest honour any Jaffa can know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Tolok places the tip of a staff weapon to their shoulders.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
From this day forward, you shall both be known as blood kin, to all Jaffa!!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Jaffa cheer. Tolok raises his hand to silence the Jaffa, who all kneel to Teal'c and Bra'tac. They both look at each other, unhappy to see the Jaffa kneeling. Bra'tac walks up to Tolok and, taking his arm, makes him rise.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Brothers!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The other Jaffa rise.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
From this day forward, no Jaffa shall bow before anyone, and never again before a false God.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c nods at Bra'tac and Tolok. Tolok turns to the assembled Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
Hail, Brother Bra'tac! Hail, Brother Teal'c!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Jaffa yell out in response, and a horn is blown. Teal'c and Bra'tac, hands to their hearts, turn to walk out.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Be proud, Teal'c. Today we are free.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
This day is not yet over with.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They walk to the entrance to see thousands of Jaffa gathered below, who raise their arms and shout.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Then I shall be proud for you, and of you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Bra'tac turn to each other, smiling slightly.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;DAKARA'''<br />

[A number of ships hover over the planet, while more fly overhead the thousands of Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SGC COMPLEX DAY'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is standing in the corridor outside an elevator, appearing nervous. The elevator opens to show Pete and an Airman.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Hey!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete steps out of the elevator.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hi! Thank you, Airman.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As the Airman walks away, Pete kisses her on the cheek.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
So, this is exciting. What's the surprise?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You'll see.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They start to walk along the corridor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Do I get to go through the Stargate? I mean, what planet are we going to?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You don't get to go through the Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Okay. I'm a little disappointed. Still, full security clearance and an all access pass to the SGC? This must be big.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh, it's big.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GUEST QUARTERS'''<br />
<br />
[Carter knocks on the door then enters, Pete behind her. Jacob is sitting in a chair and rises as they walk in.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Pete Shanahan. Jacob Carter. Dad, this is Pete.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete appears stunned.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Dad?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Not quite yet. You have to actually marry my daughter before you can call me that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter grins.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
I was just&hellip; I meant&hellip;stammer, stammer. It's an honour to meet you, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete steps forward to shake Jacob's hand.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Really.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns to Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Why didn't you tell me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter is grinning nervously.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I didn't want you to be nervous.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Why would I? I wouldn't. I&hellip; I've been dying to meet you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I think it was Sam that was nervous.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
How did not telling me help?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It didn't.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete and Jacob look at each other. In the silence, Carter looks uncomfortable. Jacob looks serious as Pete continues to smile.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
This is great! You really got one of those things in your head?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks at Pete, the question wiping the smile off her face.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
If by one of those things, you mean a 2,000 year old Tok'ra symbiote. Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Seriously. Come on&hellip; that has got to freak you right out sometimes. It's weird.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter smiles and shakes her head, while Jacob simply looks at Pete. As Jacob looks at Carter, she again smiles nervously, turning to Pete who is still grinning.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DINER'''<br />
<br />
[Oma, notebook in hand, is standing at Daniel's table. A man (Jim), sitting at the counter, turns round to speak to Oma.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Hey!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma and Daniel turn to look at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
What do I have to do to get some more coffee around here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Find your enlightenment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma turns back to look at Daniel, obviously waiting for him to order.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Menus?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
We don't need them here, just order what you'd like.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay, I'll have the truth with a side order of clarity, please.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
The replicator version of Sam was in your head trying to access the knowledge buried in your subconscious. But you gained control of her instead. She killed you to stop you. That's where I stepped in. How's that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Pretty clear.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Well, we aim to please. Customer comes first, you know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So I'm ascended again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Not exactly. Sort of a stop along the way. You have to make that choice for yourself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Waffles.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Bacon on the side?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, I remember this place.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
You should, it came from your mind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
My Grandfather brought me here after my parents' funeral. I had waffles.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Waffles it is!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma turns to leave.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Wait. How do I know it's really you this time. How do I know this isn't some trick Replicator Sam's playing to stop me from controlling her?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma steps back to Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
How deep is the river if you cannot see the bottom?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim turns, waving his coffee mug.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Deeper than the coffee in my cup, I'll tell you that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
(to Daniel)<br/><br />
Excuse me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma walks away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Frank, I need a noseboy and a blanket. Two handfruit wrecked on a shingle with a mystery in the alley.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks bemused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
A warmy with a mouldy lid and two checkerboards, alright?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma walks behind the counter and places the order on a hook.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Oh yeah, hold the paper.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;DAKARA'''<br />
<br />
[A couple of ships fly past the temple.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE INNER ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c is standing by the Ancient computer as Bra'tac walks up to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
We have dreamed of this day for so long. Fought so hard for it and sacrificed so much. Now that it is here&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is not here, brother.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
The balance of power has shifted, Teal'c. Our victory here at Dakara has turned the tide. Jaffa everywhere are abandoning the old ways, coming to see the Goa'uld for the false Gods they are.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We are foolish to rejoice in conquest over the Goa'uld when they are not all dead. Anubis' claim to be a God is false, but his powers most certainly are not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
It is agreed. He must be dealt with. But for once, there may be greater concerns than the eradication of all the Goa'uld. So consumed were we in attaining freedom, that we did not plan nearly enough for its aftermath. The Jaffa have fought with each other for so long that uniting them as one may prove as difficult a task as convincing them to free themselves from the Goa'uld. Generations of war and mistrust will not be healed overnight.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed. If we do not organize quickly freedom will become anarchy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
The High Priests are proposing a leadership be assembled.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
That is wise.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
They wish both of us to sit on the council.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c nods briefly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
You know that will take you from the Tau'ri.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c looks concerned. Bra'tac turns and puts his hand on Teal'c's shoulder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Your purpose in joining them was to one day free the Jaffa. Now that day is upon us. You must not abandon your people when we need you most.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Of that I am aware.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bra'tac pats Teal'c on the shoulder and turns to walk away. He stops and turns back to look at Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
The Council will preside from the new Jaffa homeworld, where a great city is to be erected, a haven for all those who have chosen freedom. Here, on the holy ground of Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bra'tac leaves.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DINER'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is sitting in the booth, looking around. Jim gets up from the counter, holding a newspaper, and walks over to Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Hey, I know you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim points at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Really?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Yeah. The guy from the paper, Doctor Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim puts the paper down on the table, pointing to an article. The newspaper is called The Ascended Times and the leader is entitled "Jackson Still Undecided", with a large photo of Daniel. Daniel looks at the headline, then back up at Jim.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
It's okay, keep it. I'm done.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Thanks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[At the bottom of the front page of the paper, another headline reads "Anubis plans to retake Dakara", with the additional headers of "Exclusive information on his quest to destroy all life in the Milky Way galaxy" and "He's back again and he's badder than ever." Other headlines read, "Astral diner to be given infinite status", "Wraith on their way to Atlantis", "Yoga, Not the path to enlightenment", "Ethereal awareness seminar to be held in Talnak Quadrant." Daniel reads the Dakara headline, then looks up, frowning.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC MESS HALL'''<br />
<br />
[Carter and Jacob are sitting at a table, eating.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So, you gonna visit Mark and the kids this trip?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Tomorrow.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob smiles at Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Is everything okay?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I'm just not very hungry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob puts down his cutlery.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You've been pretty quiet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I'm fine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob picks up a bottle of water and sips from it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Dad&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob smiles.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's been two hours since Pete left, you haven't said a word.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I did so.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
'He seems nice'?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I believe that's three words.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm gonna marry him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I know. I just met him. What do you want me to say? I know how happy he makes you. That's all that matters to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods slightly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Selmak really liked him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Selmak?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Yeah, and he's a great judge of character.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Look, Sam, I'm tired. It's been a long day. I think I'm gonna turn in early.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You sure nothing else is wrong?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Yeah. I'll see you in the morning.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Goodnight.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob gets up and Carter watches him as he leaves. She looks concerned.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;O'NEILL'S HOUSE DAY'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;O'NEILL'S HOUSE&mdash;BEDROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The phone rings and a hand searches on the bedside table and the floor for the phone. O'Neill, in bed, picks up the phone and turns it on.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He is obviously still half asleep.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC LAB'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is on the phone, Teal'c standing behind her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sorry to wake you, Sir. Teal'c's back and it sounds like we have a problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;O'NEILL'S HOUSE&mdash;BEDROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I knew it. Alright, I'll be there as soon as I can.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He switches the phone off and drops it to the floor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
Crap.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He sits up, turning to Kerry who has just woken. She stretches up against him as he places his hand on her head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KERRY<br/><br />
What was that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Trouble in Jaffa-land.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kerry groans.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Gotta go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kerry nods. O'Neill places his hand on the side of her face.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill leans down to kiss her. He then gets up and Kerry looks at him as he walks away.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DINER'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is reading the paper as Oma comes over to place a plate of waffles on the table. He shows her Dakara headline in the paper.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You know about this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And you're not going to do anything about it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
You know I can't.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, I'm certainly not going to just sit here and let this happen.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel stands and walks away from the table]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
You can't leave, you're not ascended yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel stops and turns back to face Oma, obviously not happy.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
You walk through that door, you're choosing the alternative.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks at the door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You're saying I'll be dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Pretty much.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma grimaces and nods her head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay. Ascend me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
It doesn't mean you'll be able to help your friends. You know the rules.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes, but once I'm ascended, I can choose to take human form again, just like last time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Technically, yes, but you can't take that paper with you. You won't have any of the knowledge that you've gained here, and good luck ever ascending again. I'm certainly not going to help you a third time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So you're saying I can know Anubis is plotting to destroy all life in the galaxy and all I can do about it is stay here and contemplate my own enlightenment?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
You can eat your waffles.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma walks away. Daniel sighs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(loudly)<br/><br />
No syrup?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He walks up to the counter and sits next to a woman eating pancakes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hi, how's it going? I'm Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He holds up the paper with his picture on the front page. The woman ignores him. He sets the paper down on the counter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Sorry to bother you, I just wanted to know if I could borrow your syrup.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The woman turns a page of a book she's reading.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Although technically, I know it's not going to be borrowing, 'cos I'm not actually going to give back what I've used.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel smiles then grimaces. The woman continues to ignore him. Daniel sighs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Enjoy your meal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He grabs the paper, gets up and walks over to a group of three men at a booth. He slaps the paper down on the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hi guys! How's it going?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The men ignore him. Daniel waves his hand in front of one of them. Oma walks up to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
They're not going to talk to you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Why not? Who are they?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Others. You're not one of them yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You mean Ancients?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
A couple of them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What are they doing here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Watching.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Me too. I told you before, they're always watching.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She holds up a jug of syrup.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
You wanted some motor oil?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She hands the syrup to him and walks away.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Bra'tac, Teal'c, O'Neill, Jacob and Carter are sitting around the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I still wish you guys had blown that thing up when you had the chance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We had to at least be sure that all the Replicators really were eliminated.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
And even though we apparently did get rid of them all in this galaxy, there may still be more elsewhere that could be a threat again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So, we wanted to try to figure out how the device worked in case we ever needed something like it again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Great. Well, now the Jaffa have something that can blow up the entire universe with the push of a button.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
The Jaffa will defend Dakara with their lives.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You want to explain to me why they don't want to wreck it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
The ruins at Dakara have become a symbol of freedom.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Much more, the Jaffa believe that the device's power helped free them, by destroying the Replicators. They also believe that controlling this power will help ensure their freedom in the future.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And get them virtually anything they want.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
The Jaffa would never use it to that end.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Jack is right. No-one should have that kind of power at their disposal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bra'tac sighs. Carter's mobile rings. She moves quickly to answer it, slightly embarrassed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sorry! I thought I'd turned it off.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She checks the display, turns it off, then grimaces. She puts the phone back in her pocket.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So, we're all in agreement? One way or another, it's got to go. Correct?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
If you are suggesting we destroy this device against the wishes of the High Council, I must point out that would not be a good first step in relations between the Tau'ri and the newly formed free Jaffa nation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Jacob.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why don't you do it? They already hate the Tok'ra.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
To be honest, a plan may already be in the works.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Bra'tac look at each other, unhappy.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
But as you know, Selmak and I aren't fully in the loop any longer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Mm.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Harriman enters. He stands behind O'Neill and clears his throat. O'Neill turns to look at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
Sorry to interrupt, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns to Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
Colonel? There's a call for you. Apparently it's urgent.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Harriman leaves as O'Neill turns to look at Carter, who nods slightly, looks at the others, then gets up. She is obviously embarrassed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
Sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She gets up, walks to a desk and picks up the phone.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(into phone)<br/><br />
Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Carter and raises his eyebrows.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Teal'c and I have arranged another meeting of the Jaffa Council.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Our hope is to continue strengthening the bond between previously warring Jaffa by focusing on a common enemy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks over at Carter, who is standing with her back to the room, still talking into the phone. She turns to look at the others around the conference table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(into phone)<br/><br />
Yeah, I know, it's just that it's not a good time right now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
There are still many Goa'uld that remain a threat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(into phone)<br/><br />
I know, I'm sorry. I don't know, it could be an hour, it could be all day. Yeah, okay. Yeah, me too. Bye.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She hangs up the phone then turns back to the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sorry about that, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Emergency?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[All the men at the table have stood up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, no. Just a misunderstanding.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Hey, weren't you supposed to meet Pete at the florist this morning?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks up as Carter glares at Jacob.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(through gritted teeth)<br/><br />
No&hellip;Dad.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
No, I'm sure that's what you said. For the wedding.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(through gritted teeth)<br/><br />
I know!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She shakes her head at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Go ahead, Carter. It's supposed to be your day off, anyway.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's okay, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Teal'c and Bra'tac are meeting with the Jaffa. There's nothing to do around here. Go pick flowers!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He smiles at her and leaves the room, while Carter sighs and glares at Jacob.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DINER'''<br />
<br />
[Oma walks over to Daniel's booth with a jug of coffee. Daniel, head resting on his hand, is reading the paper. ]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
More coffee?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Sure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma fills his mug.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Can you sit a minute?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma sits at the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Ooh&hellip; how am I supposed to put it? 'Man, are my dogs, tired.'</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
That's good</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
How are your waffles?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Best I ever had. Can you tell me why you stopped me from killing Anubis the last time I was ascended?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Because if I didn't stop you, the Others would have. And they wouldn't have been as nice about it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You mean, they wouldn't have erased my memory and left me naked on a planet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
That was your choice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel simply looks at Oma.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Okay, maybe not the naked part.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel smiles slightly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
But I didn't totally erase your memory even though I was supposed to.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
There&hellip; okay. Why is it okay to break some rules, and not others?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim enters the diner, whistling. He has another newspaper.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Look, if you knew I had a problem following the rules the last time, why offer me ascension again?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma is watching Jim as he walks to the counter and sits down. He is still whistling, loudly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Because I didn't want to see you die without at least giving you a second chance. Look, I have trouble following the rules. I'm not really supposed to help people ascend. You're supposed to do it on your own.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
But you do it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
I walk the line. Believe me, I crossed it a few times and paid for it dearly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma glances at Jim, briefly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
My point is, you just need to be willing to put your prior human existence into the proper context.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim is still whistling.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Sorry, I've got to get back to work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She gets up and grabs the coffee pot. She walks past Jim and around the counter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Coffee, please.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PETE'S CAR&mdash;DAY'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is in the passenger seat of the car, with Pete driving. She gazes out of the window, looking pensive.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Chocolate or vanilla?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm sorry, what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Chocolate or vanilla? The cake. Just in case you can't make the meeting with the caterer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh, I'm sorry. I really do want to be a part of this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
I hope so. It's your wedding too.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete grins.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
I realise this must be weird for you. Worrying about place settings when we could be destroyed by aliens at any minute.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
A little,</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
We're not about to be destroyed by aliens, are we?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Cos, you seem a bit distracted.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
So, your Dad like me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Of course! Why wouldn't he?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks away and down.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Tough guy to read.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You just have to get to know him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
How about Selmak?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Ah! He thought you were very charming.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
For a human.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, generally speaking, that's my type.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They both smile.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Good. Did I tell you I also have a surprise for you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, what is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Tricky. You'll see.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter smiles.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC O'NEILL'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill is sitting behind his desk, with Bra'tac and Teal'c sitting in front of him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
The Council remains unwilling to destroy the weapon, for fear it will weaken the resolve of the Jaffa to stand united against the remaining Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You realise we have to consider that thing a threat to our security?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
The Council recognises the danger and has decided to take action by aggressively seeking out and killing Anubis. Once that threat has been eliminated they will reassess the decision to destroy the device.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, we don't even know if Anubis can be killed yet, do we?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We must not suggest to the Jaffa that he cannot be. At the very least, we can eliminate the remainder of the forces of Anubis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
I believe this quest will unite many of the still fractured armies by giving them focus on a common goal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Got anything to go on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Many of the Kull Warriors were killed in battle with the Replicators but intelligence gathered indicates that Anubis may be marshalling the remaining Kull Warriors on Tartarus.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
A pre-emptive strike is being prepared.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DINER'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel pours sugar from a jar into his coffee. He turns to see Oma and Jim speaking at the counter, Oma gesturing angrily. Oma's words are indistinct. Oma walks away from Jim, into the rear of the diner. Daniel walks over to Jim, who is stretching in his chair. A woman is sitting at the counter two seats down from Jim. She is reading a book. ]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hey.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Hey! Daniel. How's it going?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Do we know each other? I feel like I know you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Call me Jim. We ran into each other last time you were ascended.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Ah. Nice to meet you, again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They shake hands and Daniel sits between Jim and the woman.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Still haven't made up your mind, huh? Death or everlasting enlightenment. I don't really see the choice, myself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Of course, I don't want to be dead, it's just that&hellip;uh. Listen, the reason I came over here was to ask you&hellip; why are you talking to me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Oh, you mean because these other snobs won't even look at you. I'm different, like Oma.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Really? Because I kind of have the impression that you two don't quite see eye to eye.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
What? That little&hellip; that was nothing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim looks quickly around to make sure that no-one is listening. He moves closer to Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
We both operate somewhat outside the normal rules and regulations. Sometimes we disagree on how far outside we should go, that's all.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They both look at Oma as she steps up to take plates away from the food counter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Really?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Yeah. As long as these other guys don't strike me down, I figure I'm okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I guess that's what I'm trying to figure out. I mean, I&hellip; I feel like, if I agree to ascend, I'm signing a contract that I don't even know what it says. Obviously, I had a little trouble with the fine print the last time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
You sure did.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You know about that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
It's all out there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I just don't see how I can agree to stand by and let Anubis destroy every living thing in the entire galaxy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Yeah, that's a tough one. Speaking of which, have you seen the latest?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim slides a newspaper over to Daniel. The headline reads "Secret Plan Revealed. Anubis' dastardly plot to regain Ancient Weapon of Destruction."]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
He's a crafty one. Really knows the ins and outs of the rules.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel continues to read the article.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
I give him 3-1 odds to succeed. You want to know the irony of it all? That device was originally used by the Ancients to create life in the Milky Way. Well, recreate it, after the whole plague thing. No kidding. Now it all gets undone with the push of one button, leaving Anubis to recreate things all over to his own liking. There's a waste of a million odd years of evolution, huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns to the Others, seated around the diner.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
(yelling)<br/><br />
I say someone should really do something to stop him!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Others ignore him. Jim turns back to Daniel, waving his hand at the Others in disgust.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
No-one will. Can I get a coffee?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PETE'S CAR'''<br />
<br />
[The car stops outside a house with a For Sale sign. Carter steps out, her eyes closed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Can I open them now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete walks around from the driver's side.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Almost.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter shuts the car door. Pete takes her hand and takes her forward a few steps.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Okay, now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter opens her eyes, then looks shocked. Pete smiles at her. They are standing outside a large house. Pete has his hand on her back.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
What do you think?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Uh, well, uh&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Speechless, huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah. Yeah</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Isn't it great? Remember our first night together? You described the house you always wanted?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I can't believe this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They start walking towards the house.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
The kitchen isn't yellow, but we can paint. 'Come on, I'll show you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete walks on, leaving Carter in the middle of the lawn.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
And you're not gonna believe the back yard. The dog's gonna love it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Dog? Oh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DINER'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is still reading the paper.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
This is bad.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Yeah. This pie is great, and there's nothing to wash it down with.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He upends his empty mug.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Is there anything you can do to stop Anubis? I mean, you did say someone should do something.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
I did, didn't I. Well, as far as what can be done, it's kind of complicated.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, so Oma tells me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Yeah, well, I don't think she's told you everything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What does that mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
I'm saying&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim looks uncomfortable.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
I've already said too much.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, you haven't. In fact, you've hardly said anything at all.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
You gave up eternal enlightenment, all the knowledge and power of the universe. Why do you think you did that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
To fight for humanity, any way I could.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Yes, very big of you. You rejected everything Oma offered you, and now she just gives you another chance? Based on the goodness of her heart?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, that is the point isn't it? I mean, she is ascended, she is good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Sure, best intentions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Do you know what happened between me and Oma? Why did I choose to take human form again?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
You should ask Oma.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel sighs.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;O'NEILL'S HOUSE&mdash;DAY'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is sitting in her car staring at the house. She sighs, then gets out and walks towards the house. O'Neill is in the backyard, barbecuing. Carter walks around the corner of the house.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hi, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Look, I'm sorry to bother you at home like this, but um&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
How did you know I was here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I saw the smoke.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill wipes his sweater and face.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Look, is this okay? I mean, I could have called first.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, yeah. I mean, it's fine. So, um&hellip; what brings you to this neck of the woods on such a fine day, in my backyard?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, actually, I've&hellip; ummm&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter clears her throat.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I've been sitting in your driveway for the last ten minutes, trying to work up the nerve to come and talk to you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at her, eyebrows raised.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The truth is, I've been trying to work up the nerve for a lot longer than that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Pete put a down-payment down on a house.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, that's great!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's a beautiful house.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
But&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The&hellip; the truth is, I'm having second thoughts about the wedding.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks surprised.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
See, the thing is, the closer it gets, the more I get the feeling that I'm making a big, huge mistake.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill, looking slightly uncomfortable, glances into the house.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Look, Carter, I don't know what&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm sorry to bother you with this, but uh, see, there's actually a very good reason that I'm bothering you with this, and if I don't tell you now, I might never&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The back door opens and Kerry Johnson comes out of the house.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KERRY<br/><br />
Jack, I looked everywhere, but I could not fi&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kerry sees Carter, who looks embarrassed. She turns to look at Kerry. They both smile politely at each other.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KERRY<br/><br />
Colonel Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill gestures at Kerry.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Miss Johnson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, I..I didn't&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We were just meeting here, in my backyard on this fine day, to discuss the state of affairs.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KERRY<br/><br />
Well, this is awkward.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Ya think?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KERRY<br/><br />
Jack didn't want anyone at the SGC to know about&hellip; us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No! Look, I..I&hellip;uh&hellip;I'm sorry, this is my fault, I really, I shouldn't have come by unannounced like this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KERRY<br/><br />
Well, you know, now that the cat's out of the bag, you're here, why don't you just stay? I'm sure there's enough charred meat on the grill for all three of us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill gestures at Kerry with a burnt sausage.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, thank you, I um&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter's phone rings. She takes it off her belt and checks the display.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's the SGC.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She answers the phone as Kerry walks over to O'Neill, who offers her a beer. They look at each other, before turning to look at Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel Carter. What? When? Okay, I'm on my way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter switches off her phone then turns to O'Neill and Kerry.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I gotta go. It's my Dad.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She runs down the steps and around the corner, O'Neill and Kerry looking after her. They turn to each other, frowning.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DINER'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is sitting at the counter reading the Ascended Times. Oma walks behind the counter and comes up to Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Well, you can't stay here forever, you know. Actually, I suppose you could, I just don't know why you'd really want to. Except for the great service.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She turns to get the coffeepot refills his mug.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Look, obviously I don't want to just die. Don't suppose there's any other options?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
I can't get into it. What's stopping you from ascending?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don't know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Must be something holding you back, making you doubt yourself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Maybe it's not me I'm doubting.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Look, whether you choose to accept living on a higher plane of existence has nothing to do with me or anything that I can or can't tell you. It's all up to you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
But there is something you're not telling me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Is that what Jim said? You shouldn't be listening to him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Why not?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Because.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Good answer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma smiles slightly and walks away.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[Carter walks into the infirmary.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Dad?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She walks up to a bed. A nurse, who was standing at the bedside, leaves.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I'm sorry, kiddo. We both are.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob is sitting up in the bed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
About what? What's going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I don't want to ruin everything like this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Dad?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
It's Selmak. He's dying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh, my God, I'm sorry!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
It's okay. He's okay. He led a pretty full life.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I didn't live with Jolinar that long, but I think I have some idea of what it's like.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Well, this is a little different, Sam. As you know, when a Tok'ra symbiote dies, they can prevent their host from dying, as Jolinar did with you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
The problem is, that last selfless act requires a certain amount of energy and a conscious effort.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What are you saying?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
By all rights, Selmak should have been dead weeks ago. I wouldn't let him go. I thought we needed him, that I needed him to help you stop the Replicators.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Dad?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
He hung on as long as he could. Then he slipped into a coma just after we activated the weapon on Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You've known all this time, since then?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I didn't want to spoil your wedding. Now, I thought we could make it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(emotionally)<br/><br />
We?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
He's barely alive. I'm gonna die with him, Sam.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Where is she?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don't know. Off doing whatever it is she does when she's not here.</blockquote><br />
<br />

You ask her?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yep.</blockquote><br />

Wouldn't tell you.</blockquote><br />

No.</blockquote><br />

I know he's half ascended, whatever that means.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
There are many planes of existence, between human existence and ascension. Basically, the Others use their collective powers to keep him from affecting anything on a grand, cosmic level.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
But it's okay for him to destroy an entire galaxy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
It's okay for him to do anything he could have done, back when he was a regular, old Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I see. What does this have to do with Oma?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Goa'ulds are bad. Anubis is as bad as they come.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
And?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And ascension requires that someone be pure of spirit. One must be good to the very core to achieve enlightenment. So how does someone like Anubis ascend?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Now he's getting it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Oma helps people ascend but she'd never help somebody like Anubis!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Maybe not on purpose.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Are you saying he tricked her somehow?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Rule number one! No lone ascended being shall help a lower, ascend! Lowers are what we call humans and such. If you deserve to be here you should be able to get here on your own. If there's an exception, for whatever reason, a majority vote by the collective can get you in. But Oma thinks she knows better, and she's taken her licks for it. I admit for the most part, she's brought good people onboard, but as the old saying goes, nobody's perfect. Not even us higher beings.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Oma helped Anubis ascend.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim clicks his fingers and points at Daniel. Oma walks up to them, angry.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
(to Jim)<br/><br />
Get out. Get out, now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim turns to her, than looks at his watch.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JIM<br/><br />
Oh, look at the time. Gotta go kid, business to attend to. It was nice talking to you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jim pats Daniel's leg, stands and puts on his jacket. He glances at Oma then walks away, whistling. Oma turns and glares at him as he leaves the diner. She turns back to look at Daniel who is looking at her, uncertain.]<br />

A number of the Tok'ra have responded. They want to pay their respects.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
They can come.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I can't believe there's nothing they can do. They can remove a Goa'uld. In the last few years you've almost perfected the process of saving the host.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
That process instantly kills the symbiote before it releases toxins. It's too late for that, Sam. I'm sorry. I hate to do this to you, but I should have been dead four years ago. Since then, I've been all over the galaxy. I've done things most men never dream of.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I've heard that before.</blockquote><br />
<br />

I just want to know you're gonna be happy.</blockquote><br />

I am.</blockquote><br />

Don't let rules stand in your way.</blockquote><br />

Yes. We are. But&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />

You have issues. It's okay, we all do. There's just one big one in particular that I don't think I can love with&hellip; live with. I need to get out before I get more involved. We can still work together, can't we? I'd hate to have to ask for reassignment. This is really important to me. We agreed this would never affect the job.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We did.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KERRY<br/><br />
Good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kerry turns and walks to the door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KERRY<br/><br />
You know, there's just one thing I don't understand.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Just one?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KERRY<br/><br />
Is the Air Force the only thing keeping you two apart? Rules and regulations? Because if it is, you're making a very big mistake.</blockquote><br />
<br />

And you know what I should do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KERRY<br/><br />
Retire.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Again.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>KERRY<br/><br />
Don't get me wrong, you're considered invaluable to the program by the Pentagon, but the President has appointed a civilian to run the SGC before. Just a thought.</blockquote><br />

He tricked me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
How? You couldn't tell?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
No. He must have found some old, Ancient research on ascension. When he came to Kheb he knew what he was doing. When I realised the horrible mistake that I had made I tried to undo it, but I couldn't. That's when the Others stepped in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don't understand. They only sent him halfway back. Why not all the way?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
It's complicated.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, what isn't around here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
They warned him. He wasn't allowed to use any knowledge or power, unless he otherwise would have gained it as a Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don't understand. They let him wreak havoc. They don't care if he destroys all life in the galaxy? Life, they themselves, created.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
They haven't stopped me from continuing my work. I've tried to make up for it, help when I can.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It's your punishment. You're forced to watch, powerless to interfere, and let Anubis do whatever he wants, just to punish you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
I told you before. The galaxy you're from, the plane of existence, is so small and insignificant compared to the rest of the universe.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don't care. It's wrong.</blockquote><br />
<br />

That's what you said last time.</blockquote><br />

(loudly)<br/><br />
Excuse me! Isn't it enough, already? I mean, a whole galaxy of innocent people, enslaved and tortured for generations, now on the verge of being destroyed, for nothing? For what? For one mistake a good person made trying to do a good thing. Come on, the least you could do is listen to me. That can't be against the grand high fallutin' cosmic rules!</blockquote><br />

[All the diners ignore him. Daniel walks up to a man sitting in a booth.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(yelling)<br/><br />
Hey! I'm talking to you!</blockquote><br />

[Daniel grabs the man around the throat but he places his hands in a bright light. Daniel steps back.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay, okay. Well, I know you can hear me. Hasn't she suffered enough already? Certainly, enough other people have suffered to punish her. Don't you think you made your point?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
That's the thing, Daniel. They don't. I keep breaking the same rule, helping people ascend. That's why you're here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel turns to face Oma.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What if you stopped?</blockquote><br />

Actually, I'm fine. Good even, strange as that sounds. I thought I lost him four years ago. Since then we've been closer then we ever were my whole life. In a way, Selmak gave me the father I never thought I'd know.</blockquote><br />

No, what's it say?</blockquote><br />

The trick worked. Those stupid Jaffa took half their ships to hunt down Anubis, meanwhile, his army was poised to attack Dakara. The remaining rebel Jaffa guarding Dakara are being slaughtered. It's only a matter of time before old Anubis gets his hands on the weapon.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'm in here!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[All four turn to face O'Neill's office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's Daniel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill rises and walks over to the office doorway, where he suddenly stops.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Don't! Don't come in!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Woah, hey there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks around and pulls down the SGC flag, holding it to Daniel who is out of sight. Daniel grabs the flag as O'Neill looks around, embarrassed. Daniel walks out of the office, the flag draped around his lower half. Carter looks at him then turns away, her mouth open in shock. Bra'tac and Teal'c stare at Daniel. Bra'tac smiles and nods his head. O'Neill, who has been steadying the flagpole, also turns to look at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It's uh&hellip; a long story.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks up, still embarrassed. Daniel turns to look at O'Neill, who looks away.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;LAKESIDE&mdash;DAY'''<br />
<br />
[Carter and O'Neill are sitting on a small jetty outside a cabin, fishing.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This is great.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I told you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Can't believe we didn't do this years ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes, well, let's not dwell.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
There are no fish in this pond are there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Nope.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter laughs. Daniel and Teal'c walk around the side of the cabin, carrying a cooler, two chairs and two fishing rods. They walk up to the grass, next to the jetty and start to set up the chairs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Nice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel takes beers to O'Neill and Carter as Teal'c sits.]<br />

'''PREVIOUSLY ON STARGATE SG-1'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Replicators swarm through the ship.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
The Replicators. They've launched an all-out attack on the Goa'uld. If the Goa'uld can't find a way to stop them the Replicators will easily overrun our galaxy in a matter of weeks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
[The Replicators zoom in on Daniel, who is suddenly beamed away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REPLICATOR SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Suddenly, bands come out of the wall, holding Daniel in place by his arms and legs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
Unfortunately, to get what I need, we're going to have to dig a little deeper.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[More blocks extend from the wall around both sides of Daniel's head.]]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC TEAL'C'S QUARTERS'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We must, once and for all, destroy the Goa'uld's image as Gods, forever.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
How?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
By capturing the temple at Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bra'tac looks shocked.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TENT'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
There's a way to defeat the Replicators hidden somewhere within my memories, isn't there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
You need only to open your mind to it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ANUBIS' TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
A force of rebel Jaffa have managed to take control of the temple at Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
Have the fleet disengage their battle with the Replicators. Take it back at all cost. </blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TENT'''<br />
<br />
[The sand outside the tent is being re-formed to the shape of the temple at Dakara.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
The ruins of an Ancient monument on a planet now called Dakara. Within it is the one weapon in this galaxy capable of destroying me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She moves her hand and the image in the sand blows away.]<br />
<br />
'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SGC COMPLEX DAY'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
A device capable of destroying all life in the galaxy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's what he said.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter, O'Neill and Jacob are sitting around the paper-strewn table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Ba'al said he was serving Anubis?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Not exactly. You know those Goa'uld and their egos.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill mimes a large head with his hands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
He would never admit to being subservient.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No. He said he was biding his time, learning what he could from Anubis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Probably looking for a way to kill him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, we have no idea how this Ancient device works or what the effects will be, but since Anubis has no real corporeal form it's likely he would survive it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
He'd have no-one left to rule.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
For now. Time may not even be an issue for someone like him. He could essentially start over, re-populate the galaxy to his own specifications.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
A little ambitious.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, he has at least some knowledge of the Ancients. I wouldn't put it past him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, let me sit here and state the obvious. We can't let something like this get into his hands.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Or the Replicator's hands, for that matter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How much time do we have before Ba'al's fleet reaches Dakara?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Ba'al didn't say exactly where the device was, did he?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, he said it was hidden.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, chances are it's in the ruins but we can't be sure. Short of blowing up the entire planet we can't be 100 percent positive we've destroyed it. And if it's protected by a shield, even our biggest naquadah enhanced nuke might not do it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
The fact is, to be sure we've destroyed the weapon, we have to find it first.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill gestures with his hands. Carter and Jacob gather their files and nod at each other.]<br />
<br />
'''END TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;DAKARA'''<br />
<br />
[A couple of ships fly over the ruins.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c leads Carter and Jacob to a wall. They are followed by a couple of soldiers carrying a large box.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We found no evidence of a weapon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c stops at the wall which is covered in Ancient text.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to soldiers)<br/><br />
Thanks, guys, we'll take it from here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The soldiers set down the box and turn to leave.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
This structure was definitely built by the Ancients.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
As evidenced by the script on this wall. Until I saw this monument with my own eyes, I did not know that Dakara was a home of the Ancients.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The Ancient repository of knowledge we found on P3X-439 was hidden in a large monument like this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Maybe this writing will help us uncover the location of the weapon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I was able to recognise the language. Deciphering it, however, is another matter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I brought Daniel's notebooks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob lowers his head for Selmak to appear.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SELMAK<br/><br />
This dialect looks very old. It may take some time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I will leave you to it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Selmak nod at each other, then Teal'c leaves. Carter begins to unpack a backpack.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[A number of rebel ships are in orbit.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REBEL JAFFA MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
We will be vastly outnumbered by Ba'al's forces.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
I refuse to consider a strategy that demands the deliberate sacrifice of Jaffa lives.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
What then do you advocate? Prayer perhaps?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c enters the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Jaffa. We are here to consider the battle with our enemy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c walks up to stand next to Bra'tac. He glares at the assembled group of Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Not battle each other.</blockquote><br />
(to Bra'tac)<br />
Ba'al's forces approach at a rate of speed, far slower than they are capable.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Indeed. It seems he does wish to give us time to find and destroy the weapon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
Why not just destroy it himself?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Ba'al is in a difficult position. With so many witnesses, it is far easier to tell Anubis that the weapon was destroyed before he was able to reclaim Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
How then will he explain his languid pace?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Regardless, he will only hesitate so long.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
Five Ha'tak. Eight Al-Kesh. Ten squadrons of gliders. That is all we have.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Empty the bays. Deploy the gliders to the far side of the planet. Take two Ha'tak and all the Al-Kesh and position them on the other side of the moon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
Divide our forces?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Precisely!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
All of the hardship, the suffering, the sacrifices we have made for our cause will end today, one way or another. This battle will decide the fate of all Jaffa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Tolok nods, smiling slightly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
This is madness.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
So too, at one time, was the very thought of our freedom.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TENT'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel and Replicator Carter face each other.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So now what? We done? You got what you wanted. Don't suppose you want to just drop me off at the nearest Stargate?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
It is true, I learned the location of the weapon that could be a threat to me and my brethren, but I also saw the extent of knowledge your subconscious mind contains.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She walks nearer to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
You have no idea, do you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No. No, I don't.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
You've tried accessing it but it's always just out of reach, isn't it? I could help you. We could unlock the knowledge of the Ancients, the secrets of the universe, together. </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I have to admit it does sound interesting.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Replicator Carter looks at Daniel, smiling slightly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
On the other hand, you're an evil killing machine, so no, I'll pass.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Replicator Carter's smile fades. Suddenly, Daniel frowns and grimaces as though in pain.]<br />
<br />
''Flashback''<br />
<br />
[Ascended Daniel attempts to destroy Anubis (Full Circle 6.22) Daniel raises his hands and directs the energy at Anubis. The energy is blown back as Anubis raises his hand to defend himself.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, don't do this!</blockquote><br />
<br />
''End Flashback''<br />
<br />
[Daniel glares at Replicator Carter, shocked at the sudden memory.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
You had the power. You were about to strike but she stopped you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, I don't believe you. You can make me see whatever you want, that's just a trick.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
You know it's true.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks uncertain.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
Destroying the weapon that can destroy me is one thing. A good thing for me, but there is more. There is a way to kill Anubis in your mind, and so much more. I am not done, Daniel Jackson. Far from it. In fact, we have only just begun.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel stares at Replicator Carter, frowning and breathing hard.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[The wall containing the Ancient text is littered with stuck-on paper. A number of circles appear to be inlaid in the wall. Jacob is reading one of Daniel's notebooks as Carter stands next to the wall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
'Midday, the darkness is high in the sky'? You sure about that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SELMAK<br/><br />
That is what it says.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It doesn't make much sense.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Yeah, well neither does, 'the wind blows on the pillow' or 'three days to the chicken.' But that's what these phrases apparently translate into.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Are you saying this whole wall of writing is nonsense?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I don't know what I'm saying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Is it possible you made a mistake?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He holds Daniel's book out to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SELMAK<br/><br />
Would you care to try?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter shakes her head slightly, and turns back to the wall. She picks up another notebook from the floor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SELMAK<br/><br />
The text is quite difficult, and if there is an organizing principle to Doctor Jackson's notes, I have yet to discover it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, he certainly has his own system.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(over radio)<br/><br />
Colonel Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Go ahead, Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REBEL JAFFA MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Have you had any success with the translation?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter grimaces.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We're making&hellip; some progress.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REBEL JAFFA MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Bra'tac are at the ship's controls, with Aron at the weapons console.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I am afraid you do not have much more time. Our long range scanners have detected Ba'al's fleet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The viewscreen shows the planet, with the Jaffa forces in orbit. A large number of fast-moving ships are heading towards the fleet.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Understood.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She looks at Jacob then turns back to study the wall.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TENT'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
It would be much easier on both of us if you did not resist.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Why, why, why, why, in the wide world of all things rational and sane, would I help you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
Because deep down you also want the knowledge I seek.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes, but the problem is, anything I learn I won't be able to put to much use because right after I'm done, you're going to kill me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
What if I promised not to?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(laughing)<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
Do you really think I am that different from Samantha Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
In that you're a Replicator, bent on galactic domination at the expense of all living things&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
Her thoughts, her memories, even her emotions, they are not meaningless to me. I do not wish to harm you or destroy Earth, for that matter. I could have done that already if I so desired.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You're saying you'll leave Earth untouched?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
I promise you that. And your life.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks at Replicator Carter, obviously thinking.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No. No, not going to help you. But obviously I can't do anything to stop you so&hellip; give it your best shot.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[Jacob is still studying the notebook as Carter examines the wall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What if it's a code?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SELMAK<br/><br />
Something that could only be deciphered by someone who understands the language.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Can I see that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter takes the clipboard containing Daniel's notes but does not turn it right side up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SELMAK<br/><br />
You're holding it upside down.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I know. I just noticed, upside down these symbols look like another word I've seen before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She turns the clipboard to show Selmak, who takes it and looks at it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SELMAK<br/><br />
Right side up, it's darkness. You turn it around and&hellip; it translates into sun.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
'Midday the sun is high in the sky.' That makes a lot more sense.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Yeah, but so what? That's not what the wall says.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns to look at the wall. She walks up to it and begins to slowly turn one of the inlaid circle. Jacob walks nearer to the wall and begins to smile.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Now it does.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns to Jacob.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
It can't be that simple. Just turn all five circles upside down?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, I agree. It has to be some sort of combination lock. We just need to figure out which circles to turn.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REBEL JAFFA MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Ba'al appears on the viewscreen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Your pathetic trickery will only delay your inevitable defeat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
There is no trickery at hand. We know that inevitably your goal is to eradicate all free Jaffa. We have sent the bulk of our fleet to safety, to survive, to fight another day.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Surrender now or be destroyed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Defeat those who remain and you will be forced to destroy the weapon on Dakara yourself. Then you must face Anubis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ba'al's image disappears from the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
His fleet appears to be holding position.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
For the moment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter turns another circle. As it sets into place, the ground begins to shake. She picks up her weapon as a number of Jaffa run into the temple.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Let's hope that's not a bad sign.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She gestures for the Jaffa to stop. The wall rises up and Carter raises her weapon. Another wall behind splits open to reveal a room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Nice going, Sam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE INNER ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter and Jacob step into the darkened room. In the centre is a large platform on which is an alien device, with large stone panels set into it. Carter and Jacob walk up to the platform.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We're in business.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob nods.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SGC COMPLEX. DAY'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Harriman is sitting at a monitor and is turned to face O'Neill, who is sitting at a microphone. The Stargate's iris is closed. Carter's voice is coming through the comms system.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's definitely of Ancient design, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Think our bomb will do the trick?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We'll soon see. Give us ten minutes. Carter out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at his watch.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE INNER ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Jacob is studying the device as Carter drags a case into the room. Carter opens the case and removes a bomb from it. Jacob gently touches the top panel of the device. Suddenly, a viewscreen appears behind him, with Ancient text scrolling on the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Sam?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks up from preparing the bomb.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
You might want to hold off on that for a minute.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter stands and walks over to the device.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
If I'm reading this screen right, the weapon uses an energy wave to reduce all matter to its basic molecular elements. It's not strong enough to disintegrate an entire planet but it will wash away everything on a planet's surface and anything in the surrounding space.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sounds bad.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I know, but it also sounds like it does it much the same way your disruptor technology works on the Replicators. By separating the individual components.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods.]<br />

You think this weapon can be modified to work only on the Replicators?</blockquote><br />

Come on, Sam. It can't be any harder than blowing up a sun!</blockquote><br />

<br />
[The laptop monitor shows an analysis graph.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I'm pretty sure this output is giving us the frequency spectrum of the wave the weapon uses to disintegrate matter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's nothing like the spectrum analysis of the Replicator disruptor wave. Here, look.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter bring up a much different analysis graph on the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Yeah, I know, but all we have to do is alter the settings on the weapon consoles so that the output wave matches that of the disruptor technology.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
All we have to do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Yeah. The device can be set by varying the height of these panels.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He slowly pushes one of the panels down. The analysis graph changes significantly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh. Well, I can run a program to compare the difference between the two waves. It should let us know if we're even going in the right direction.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
That's good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You know, even if we can make this work, the Replicators were quickly able to adapt themselves to the frequency modulation Thor made to the original disruptor wave.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
What are you saying?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We realised the only way to eliminate the Replicators and not allow them time to develop immunity, was to somehow hit them all at the same time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Everywhere in the galaxy? How are we supposed to do that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The weapon translates through the Stargate. Do you think Anubis was planning to use the weapon to attack one planet at a time?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
So dial multiple gates, simultaneously.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Not multiple gates. All of them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Every Stargate in the galaxy, at one time? Do you know how many gates there are in the whole galaxy?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
A lot.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SELMAK<br/><br />
I have no idea how to alter a Stargate to perform such a function. I don't know of anyone who can.</blockquote><br />

No doubt you have decided to surrender. A wise decision given that you face imminent defeat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We have no intention of surrendering. I merely wished to inform you that we have found the Ancient weapon on Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Do you intend to destroy it?</blockquote><br />
<br />

What makes you think you can modify this weapon to defeat Replicators?</blockquote><br />
<br />

We're already on our way to doing that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She turns the laptop so that he can see it. The two differing analysis graphs are on the screen, plus a countdown number.]<br />

<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We need to get this weapon's wave output to match our modified Replicator disruptor wave, to within a margin of point seven six percent.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
How did you develop this Replicator disruptor technology in the first place?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
General O'Neill built it, using Ancient knowledge and an Asgard computer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter changes the laptop screen to show a blueprint of the disruptor weapon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
O'Neill. The mere thought of that makes me sick.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Look, if we can do this and somehow hit the Replicators all at the same time, we think it will work. But we need your help.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
You want me to re-program the Stargate to dial every gate in the galaxy simultaneously?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I know you used the gate's automatic update program to disseminate a dialling program virus to the entire gate network.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
With a virus you initially planted in my Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No-one's trying to deny that we're mortal enemies here. Can you do it or not?</blockquote><br />

This was not my idea, believe me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
I'll instruct my troops to land.</blockquote><br />

No way. You send one Jaffa down here and the deal's off.</blockquote><br />

[The viewscreen shows a number of ships appear, flanking Ba'al's fleet.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[A battle between the fleets begins.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REBEL JAFFA MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
They are firing on Ba'al's forces.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c stares at the viewscreen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is the Replicators.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE INNER ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Ba'al points at another panel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Now, this one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob pushes the panel down while staring at Ba'al. The differential rises to 4.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That one took us in the wrong direction.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
All-knowing, huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The hologram image flickers. Ba'al looks away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What's the matter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
My ships are under attack. A massive Replicator controlled fleet is encroaching on the planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and the other personnel are still battling the Replicators. A number of Replicators make their way to an escape hatch.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REYNOLDS<br/><br />
Running low on ammo, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Fall back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They leave the area.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REBEL JAFFA MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
[The battle between Ba'al's fleet and the Replicator ships continues.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Instruct all of our vessels to target the Replicator ships.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
Are we not better off letting them destroy each other?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
If the Replicators should prevail and gain control of the weapon on Dakara, all that we have fought for is lost.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Aron prepares weapons.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
(over radio)<br/><br />
General. Fifteen minutes to safe detonation conditions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Yeah, you know Walter, right now we're having a slightly difficult time getting out of here. Relay this to General Hammond. The second he can pull the trigger on that nuke, do it. Do you read?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
(over radio)<br/><br />
Yes, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
And have that chopper that's waiting for us leave now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
(over radio)<br/><br />
Yes, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REYNOLDS<br/><br />
Sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You see those bugs go into that hatch?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REYNOLDS<br/><br />
Yes, Sir. You think, on the base, it's their primary hole?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It's a fairly safe bet. They're going to the surface.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REYNOLDS<br/><br />
It may be the only other way out of here accessible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE INNER ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Ba'al points to another panel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
And here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
The differential lowers to 1.32.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
1.32, we're almost there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ba'al nods but the hologram image flickers again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
My ship has lost life support on several levels. Our shield strength is failing. I cannot maintain my transmission.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We've almost got it. Thanks for the help.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Good luck.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The hologram image disappears.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
That was just creepy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Keep working.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDORS'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and the others make their way along the corridors. As the SFs crouch in the corridor, O'Neill, Reynolds and Siler go up the stairs to the Control room, shooting a couple of Replicators in the room.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Siler moves to the monitor and starts typing. The full lights come on through the complex. The blast door between the Control room and the Gate room opens.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Siler, can you dial out?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SILER<br/><br />
I'm working on it, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Reynolds checks his watch.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REYNOLDS<br/><br />
Ten minutes to detonation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill also checks his watch.]<br />
<br />

<br />
[The Replicators swarm towards the Control room and the SFs outside open fire.]<br />

<br />
'''INT&mdash;REBEL JAFFA MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
[The ship is under attack.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
Shields down. Weapon systems offline.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Reroute power to sub-light engines. Evasive manoeuvres.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The space battle continues.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REBEL JAFFA MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
They're too fast. We cannot evade them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDORS'''<br />
<br />
[The SGC personnel fire frantically on the advancing Replicators. O'Neill joins them, closing the blast door behind him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REYNOLDS<br/><br />
How's it going in there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Not well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REYNOLDS<br/><br />
Same here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Grenade!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill fires a number of grenades from a weapon.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;DAKARA'''<br />
<br />
[A Replicator ship lands on the planet, near to the temple.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE INNER ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Jacob pushes a panel down and the differential changes to 0.98.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Variable off by point 98.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob nods. They hear gunfire from outside the temple. The Jaffa in the temple rush outside.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
What's that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hurry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I've almost got it, just a little more time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I don't think we have it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter moves to the doorway, preparing her weapon to fire.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[Replicators enter the temple. The Jaffa and Carter stand in the doorway to the inner room, firing on the advancing Replicators.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDORS'''<br />
<br />
[Replicators are swarming along the corridor.]<br />

[O'Neill continues to fire.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TENT'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is holding Replicator Carter's wrist tightly. His eyes are closed, but they suddenly open and he looks triumphantly at Replicator Carter, who also opens her eyes in surprise.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Got you now!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Replicator Carter stares at Daniel, trying to free her wrist.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDORS'''<br />
<br />
[The Replicators suddenly stop.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REYNOLDS<br/><br />
Huh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Reynolds looks at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's odd.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Reynolds nods slightly, then they both turn and open fire again.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REBEL JAFFA MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
The Replicator ship just&hellip; stopped. Sensors are indicating that all of the Replicator ships have&hellip; ceased&hellip; activity.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c looks puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(into comms system)<br/><br />
Colonel Carter. Have you successfully activated the weapon?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[The Replicators in the temple have also stopped.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Not yet, but the Replicators down here just froze.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REBEL JAFFA MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c looks very puzzled.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />

[Carter turns to Jacob.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Dad?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE INNER ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Almost there!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TENT'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is struggling to keep the Replicators frozen and Replicator Carter smiles at him grimly]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
There are so many, aren't there? Too many for your mind to handle. It's taking all of your concentration just to control them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Replicator Carter pulls her wrist from Daniel's hold. The tent suddenly changes to the inside of the Replicator ship.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REPLICATOR SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is encased by Replicator blocks which retreat into the wall, freeing him. he walks towards Replicator Carter but her hand transforms into the huge knife which she used to kill Yu. She stabs Daniel, the knife going completely through his body.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDORS'''<br />
<br />
[The Replicators begin to move again and are fired upon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, that was too good to last.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[The Replicators begin to move again and are fired upon.]<br />

Dad, they're on the move again!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE INNER ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The differential has lowered to 0.76.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Point 76!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Do it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob activates the weapon and the building starts to shake.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;DAKARA'''<br />

[The top of the temple begins to split open and Stargates are activated.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />

<br />
<blockquote>SILER<br/><br />
Incoming wormhole?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REPLICATOR SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel has collapsed onto the floor. Replicator Carter looks on as blood trickles from his mouth. Suddenly, she looks away, obviously uncomfortable.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;DAKARA'''<br />
<br />
[The top of the temple has opened and a huge weapon rises, powering up. ]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REBEL JAFFA MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
[The ship is still under attack.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
Enemy ship is in range. It is powering weapons. We cannot survive another hit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c looks on, hopeless.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is still firing at the Replicators.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDORS'''<br />

<br />
[Daniel lies on the floor, his eyes slowly closing as he dies.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;DAKARA'''<br />
<br />
[A huge energy wave is released from the Ancient weapon and all Replicators on the planet are destroyed.]<br />
<br />

[The energy wave reaches the mothership. ]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REBEL JAFFA MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />

<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The energy wave comes through the Stargate.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDORS'''<br />
<br />
[The wave hits the corridors and all Replicators are destroyed. O'Neill and the SFs look around, puzzled.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REPLICATOR SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is lying dead on the Replicators ship. Replicator Carter looks up as the energy wave approaches and destroys the ship. ]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE INNER ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter and the Jaffa lower their weapons, looking at the destroyed Replicators in shock. Carter turns to Jacob and moves towards him. Jacob is slumped against the alien device.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Dad.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I'm alright.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I don't know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You did it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Well, Selmak deserves a little credit. Okay, most of it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BA'AL'S SHIP'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
All Replicator controlled ships are dormant.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Prepare enough squads to board them, and reclaim them in the name of their God.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
Yes, my Lord. We are being hailed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
On screen.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c appears on the viewscreen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Surrender now and you will be granted mercy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ba'al smirks.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
You are hardly in any position to be making such ridiculous demands. You are surrounded.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You are incorrect. It is, in fact, you that is surrounded, by free Jaffa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly, the Krull warriors flanking Ba'al are shot. Bra'tac and a number of Jaffa enter. Teal'c looks on, smirking, as Ba'al's Jaffa are overpowered and Ba'al is surrounded by rebel Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Behold your false God.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ba'al looks at Bra'tac and laughs. He activates a wrist device and beams off the ship before Bra'tac can shoot him. Bra'tac, shocked, turns to the viewscreen and shakes his head at Teal'c, who raises an eyebrow.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SGC COMPLEX DAY'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDORS'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Carter walk up the stairs to his office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Any more word from Teal'c?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, Sir. Although Ba'al got away, the fact that he turned tail and ran made the rebel victory every bit the turning point Teal'c and Bra'tac were hoping for. Jaffa from all over the galaxy are joining with them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, viva la revolution!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They're a significant sized fleet securing Dakara. Hopefully, with the weapons we've provided they'll be able to turn the tide against Anubis' super soldiers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC O'NEILL'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[They enter his office, both standing on either side of O'Neill's desk.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It looks like the Jaffa might finally win their freedom.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill picks up a folder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It's about time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, Sir. Oh! I heard from Thor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
How's he doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill sits.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Great! He sends us all his congratulations and says that he will drop by for a visit as soon as his consciousness has been downloaded from the ship's computer into a new body. </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That just never gets old, does it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Apparently not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter smiles.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter, did you notice if the Replicators where you were happened to&hellip; stop in the middle of everything?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, it was really strange, they just&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER & O'NEILL<br/><br />
(together)<br/><br />
Froze.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It actually bought us the time we needed to calibrate the weapon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Any idea why that happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You think Daniel had something to do with it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I don't know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, if he was onboard that Replicator ship, then&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter! We don't know anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Anything else?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill turns to his paperwork. Carter looks at him for a moment, shrugs, then leaves. O'Neill begins to write, but after she leaves he stops. He looks up, worried, and is obviously thinking about Daniel.]<br />

'''PREVIOUSLY ON STARGATE SG-1'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Replicators swarm through the ship.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
The Replicators. They've launched an all-out attack on the Goa'uld. If the Goa'uld can't find a way to stop them the Replicators will easily overrun our galaxy in a matter of weeks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
[The Replicators zoom in on Daniel, who is suddenly beamed away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REPLICATOR SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Suddenly, bands come out of the wall, holding Daniel in place by his arms and legs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
Unfortunately, to get what I need, we're going to have to dig a little deeper.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[More blocks extend from the wall around both sides of Daniel's head.]]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC TEAL'C'S QUARTERS'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We must, once and for all, destroy the Goa'uld's image as Gods, forever.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
How?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
By capturing the temple at Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bra'tac looks shocked.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TENT'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
There's a way to defeat the Replicators hidden somewhere within my memories, isn't there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
You need only to open your mind to it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ANUBIS' TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
A force of rebel Jaffa have managed to take control of the temple at Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
Have the fleet disengage their battle with the Replicators. Take it back at all cost. </blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TENT'''<br />
<br />
[The sand outside the tent is being re-formed to the shape of the temple at Dakara.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
The ruins of an Ancient monument on a planet now called Dakara. Within it is the one weapon in this galaxy capable of destroying me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She moves her hand and the image in the sand blows away.]<br />
<br />
'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SGC COMPLEX DAY'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
A device capable of destroying all life in the galaxy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's what he said.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter, O'Neill and Jacob are sitting around the paper-strewn table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Ba'al said he was serving Anubis?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Not exactly. You know those Goa'uld and their egos.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill mimes a large head with his hands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
He would never admit to being subservient.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No. He said he was biding his time, learning what he could from Anubis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Probably looking for a way to kill him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, we have no idea how this Ancient device works or what the effects will be, but since Anubis has no real corporeal form it's likely he would survive it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
He'd have no-one left to rule.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
For now. Time may not even be an issue for someone like him. He could essentially start over, re-populate the galaxy to his own specifications.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
A little ambitious.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, he has at least some knowledge of the Ancients. I wouldn't put it past him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, let me sit here and state the obvious. We can't let something like this get into his hands.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Or the Replicator's hands, for that matter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How much time do we have before Ba'al's fleet reaches Dakara?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Ba'al didn't say exactly where the device was, did he?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, he said it was hidden.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, chances are it's in the ruins but we can't be sure. Short of blowing up the entire planet we can't be 100 percent positive we've destroyed it. And if it's protected by a shield, even our biggest naquadah enhanced nuke might not do it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
The fact is, to be sure we've destroyed the weapon, we have to find it first.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill gestures with his hands. Carter and Jacob gather their files and nod at each other.]<br />

<br />
'''EXT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c leads Carter and Jacob to a wall. They are followed by a couple of soldiers carrying a large box.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We found no evidence of a weapon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c stops at the wall which is covered in Ancient text.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to soldiers)<br/><br />
Thanks, guys, we'll take it from here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The soldiers set down the box and turn to leave.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
This structure was definitely built by the Ancients.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
As evidenced by the script on this wall. Until I saw this monument with my own eyes, I did not know that Dakara was a home of the Ancients.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The Ancient repository of knowledge we found on P3X-439 was hidden in a large monument like this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Maybe this writing will help us uncover the location of the weapon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I was able to recognise the language. Deciphering it, however, is another matter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I brought Daniel's notebooks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob lowers his head for Selmak to appear.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SELMAK<br/><br />
This dialect looks very old. It may take some time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I will leave you to it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Selmak nod at each other, then Teal'c leaves. Carter begins to unpack a backpack.]<br />

<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
We will be vastly outnumbered by Ba'al's forces.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
I refuse to consider a strategy that demands the deliberate sacrifice of Jaffa lives.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
What then do you advocate? Prayer perhaps?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c enters the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Jaffa. We are here to consider the battle with our enemy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c walks up to stand next to Bra'tac. He glares at the assembled group of Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Not battle each other.</blockquote><br />
(to Bra'tac)<br />
Ba'al's forces approach at a rate of speed, far slower than they are capable.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Indeed. It seems he does wish to give us time to find and destroy the weapon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
Why not just destroy it himself?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Ba'al is in a difficult position. With so many witnesses, it is far easier to tell Anubis that the weapon was destroyed before he was able to reclaim Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
How then will he explain his languid pace?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Regardless, he will only hesitate so long.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
Five Ha'tak. Eight Al-Kesh. Ten squadrons of gliders. That is all we have.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Empty the bays. Deploy the gliders to the far side of the planet. Take two Ha'tak and all the Al-Kesh and position them on the other side of the moon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
Divide our forces?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Precisely!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
All of the hardship, the suffering, the sacrifices we have made for our cause will end today, one way or another. This battle will decide the fate of all Jaffa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Tolok nods, smiling slightly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
This is madness.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
So too, at one time, was the very thought of our freedom.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TENT'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel and Replicator Carter face each other.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So now what? We done? You got what you wanted. Don't suppose you want to just drop me off at the nearest Stargate?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
It is true, I learned the location of the weapon that could be a threat to me and my brethren, but I also saw the extent of knowledge your subconscious mind contains.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She walks nearer to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
You have no idea, do you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No. No, I don't.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
You've tried accessing it but it's always just out of reach, isn't it? I could help you. We could unlock the knowledge of the Ancients, the secrets of the universe, together. </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I have to admit it does sound interesting.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Replicator Carter looks at Daniel, smiling slightly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
On the other hand, you're an evil killing machine, so no, I'll pass.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Replicator Carter's smile fades. Suddenly, Daniel frowns and grimaces as though in pain.]<br />
<br />
''Flashback''<br />
<br />
[Ascended Daniel attempts to destroy Anubis (Full Circle 6.22) Daniel raises his hands and directs the energy at Anubis. The energy is blown back as Anubis raises his hand to defend himself.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, don't do this!</blockquote><br />
<br />
''End Flashback''<br />
<br />
[Daniel glares at Replicator Carter, shocked at the sudden memory.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
You had the power. You were about to strike but she stopped you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, I don't believe you. You can make me see whatever you want, that's just a trick.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
You know it's true.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks uncertain.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
Destroying the weapon that can destroy me is one thing. A good thing for me, but there is more. There is a way to kill Anubis in your mind, and so much more. I am not done, Daniel Jackson. Far from it. In fact, we have only just begun.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel stares at Replicator Carter, frowning and breathing hard.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[The wall containing the Ancient text is littered with stuck-on paper. A number of circles appear to be inlaid in the wall. Jacob is reading one of Daniel's notebooks as Carter stands next to the wall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
'Midday, the darkness is high in the sky'? You sure about that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SELMAK<br/><br />
That is what it says.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It doesn't make much sense.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Yeah, well neither does, 'the wind blows on the pillow' or 'three days to the chicken.' But that's what these phrases apparently translate into.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Are you saying this whole wall of writing is nonsense?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I don't know what I'm saying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Is it possible you made a mistake?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He holds Daniel's book out to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SELMAK<br/><br />
Would you care to try?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter shakes her head slightly, and turns back to the wall. She picks up another notebook from the floor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SELMAK<br/><br />
The text is quite difficult, and if there is an organizing principle to Doctor Jackson's notes, I have yet to discover it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, he certainly has his own system.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />

<br />
[Teal'c and Bra'tac are at the ship's controls, with Aron at the weapons console.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I am afraid you do not have much more time. Our long range scanners have detected Ba'al's fleet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The viewscreen shows the planet, with the Jaffa forces in orbit. A large number of fast-moving ships are heading towards the fleet.]<br />
<br />

<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
It would be much easier on both of us if you did not resist.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Why, why, why, why, in the wide world of all things rational and sane, would I help you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
Because deep down you also want the knowledge I seek.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes, but the problem is, anything I learn I won't be able to put to much use because right after I'm done, you're going to kill me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
What if I promised not to?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(laughing)<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
Do you really think I am that different from Samantha Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
In that you're a Replicator, bent on galactic domination at the expense of all living things&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
Her thoughts, her memories, even her emotions, they are not meaningless to me. I do not wish to harm you or destroy Earth, for that matter. I could have done that already if I so desired.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You're saying you'll leave Earth untouched?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
I promise you that. And your life.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks at Replicator Carter, obviously thinking.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No. No, not going to help you. But obviously I can't do anything to stop you so&hellip; give it your best shot.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[Jacob is still studying the notebook as Carter examines the wall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What if it's a code?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SELMAK<br/><br />
Something that could only be deciphered by someone who understands the language.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Can I see that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter takes the clipboard containing Daniel's notes but does not turn it right side up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SELMAK<br/><br />
You're holding it upside down.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I know. I just noticed, upside down these symbols look like another word I've seen before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She turns the clipboard to show Selmak, who takes it and looks at it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SELMAK<br/><br />
Right side up, it's darkness. You turn it around and&hellip; it translates into sun.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
'Midday the sun is high in the sky.' That makes a lot more sense.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Yeah, but so what? That's not what the wall says.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns to look at the wall. She walks up to it and begins to slowly turn one of the inlaid circle. Jacob walks nearer to the wall and begins to smile.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Now it does.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns to Jacob.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
It can't be that simple. Just turn all five circles upside down?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, I agree. It has to be some sort of combination lock. We just need to figure out which circles to turn.</blockquote><br />
<br />

[Ba'al appears on the viewscreen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Your pathetic trickery will only delay your inevitable defeat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
There is no trickery at hand. We know that inevitably your goal is to eradicate all free Jaffa. We have sent the bulk of our fleet to safety, to survive, to fight another day.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Surrender now or be destroyed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Defeat those who remain and you will be forced to destroy the weapon on Dakara yourself. Then you must face Anubis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ba'al's image disappears from the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
His fleet appears to be holding position.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
For the moment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter turns another circle. As it sets into place, the ground begins to shake. She picks up her weapon as a number of Jaffa run into the temple.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Let's hope that's not a bad sign.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She gestures for the Jaffa to stop. The wall rises up and Carter raises her weapon. Another wall behind splits open to reveal a room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Nice going, Sam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE INNER ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter and Jacob step into the darkened room. In the centre is a large platform on which is an alien device, with large stone panels set into it. Carter and Jacob walk up to the platform.]<br />
<br />

We're in business.</blockquote><br />

[Harriman is sitting at a monitor and is turned to face O'Neill, who is sitting at a microphone. The Stargate's iris is closed. Carter's voice is coming through the comms system.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's definitely of Ancient design, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Think our bomb will do the trick?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We'll soon see. Give us ten minutes. Carter out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at his watch.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE INNER ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Jacob is studying the device as Carter drags a case into the room. Carter opens the case and removes a bomb from it. Jacob gently touches the top panel of the device. Suddenly, a viewscreen appears behind him, with Ancient text scrolling on the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Sam?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks up from preparing the bomb.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
You might want to hold off on that for a minute.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter stands and walks over to the device.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
If I'm reading this screen right, the weapon uses an energy wave to reduce all matter to its basic molecular elements. It's not strong enough to disintegrate an entire planet but it will wash away everything on a planet's surface and anything in the surrounding space.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sounds bad.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I know, but it also sounds like it does it much the same way your disruptor technology works on the Replicators. By separating the individual components.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They are both Ancient design. General O'Neill did use Ancient knowledge to build the disruptor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You think this weapon can be modified to work only on the Replicators?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I don't know, but I'd hate to blow it up before I was a 100 percent sure it couldn't.</blockquote><br />

[Jacob moves aside to let Carter at the computer.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This may not be possible, you know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Come on, Sam. It can't be any harder than blowing up a sun!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You know, you blow up one sun and suddenly everyone expects you to walk on water.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly, the computer screen clears and Ancient text appears.]<br />

<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
The rebels are fleeing, my Lord. The planet is ours.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
They expect us to follow, so that they may draw the fleet into battle on two fronts.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Jaffa looks puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Signal the fleet to pursue the Shol’va.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
My Lord?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Dakara can wait. No battle strategy can save them now. We will crush them, and then take the temple.</blockquote><br />

Yes, my Lord.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE INNER ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The laptop monitor shows an analysis graph.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I'm pretty sure this output is giving us the frequency spectrum of the wave the weapon uses to disintegrate matter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's nothing like the spectrum analysis of the Replicator disruptor wave. Here, look.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter bring up a much different analysis graph on the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Yeah, I know, but all we have to do is alter the settings on the weapon consoles so that the output wave matches that of the disruptor technology.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
All we have to do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Yeah. The device can be set by varying the height of these panels.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He slowly pushes one of the panels down. The analysis graph changes significantly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh. Well, I can run a program to compare the difference between the two waves. It should let us know if we're even going in the right direction.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
That's good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You know, even if we can make this work, the Replicators were quickly able to adapt themselves to the frequency modulation Thor made to the original disruptor wave.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
What are you saying?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We realised the only way to eliminate the Replicators and not allow them time to develop immunity, was to somehow hit them all at the same time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Everywhere in the galaxy? How are we supposed to do that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The weapon translates through the Stargate. Do you think Anubis was planning to use the weapon to attack one planet at a time?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
So dial multiple gates, simultaneously.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Not multiple gates. All of them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Every Stargate in the galaxy, at one time? Do you know how many gates there are in the whole galaxy?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
A lot.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SELMAK<br/><br />
I have no idea how to alter a Stargate to perform such a function. I don't know of anyone who can.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
No doubt you have decided to surrender. A wise decision given that you face imminent defeat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We have no intention of surrendering. I merely wished to inform you that we have found the Ancient weapon on Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Do you intend to destroy it?</blockquote><br />
<br />

Do you not care? Are you not amazed by what you are seeing?</blockquote><br />

I don't understand it. It's more than any human can begin to comprehend.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
I am not human.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Oh, believe me, I know. There must be a limit to how much your mind can process, how much information you can store.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
I am sharing what I learn with my brethren. The extent of knowledge we can absorb is only limited by our numbers. As we speak, those numbers are growing faster than you can imagine.</blockquote><br />

'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE INNER ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter and Jacob are still working at the laptop. Suddenly, Ba'al's holographic image appears. He looks around the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
This chamber must be well shielded. I could not find it using my ship's sensors.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Look, I assume Teal'c told you the plan?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
What makes you think you can modify this weapon to defeat Replicators?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We're already on our way to doing that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She turns the laptop so that he can see it. The two differing analysis graphs are on the screen, plus a countdown number.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We need to get this weapon's wave output to match our modified Replicator disruptor wave, to within a margin of point seven six percent.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
How did you develop this Replicator disruptor technology in the first place?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
General O'Neill built it, using Ancient knowledge and an Asgard computer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter changes the laptop screen to show a blueprint of the disruptor weapon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
O'Neill. The mere thought of that makes me sick.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Look, if we can do this and somehow hit the Replicators all at the same time, we think it will work. But we need your help.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
You want me to re-program the Stargate to dial every gate in the galaxy simultaneously?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I know you used the gate's automatic update program to disseminate a dialling program virus to the entire gate network.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
With a virus you initially planted in my Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No-one's trying to deny that we're mortal enemies here. Can you do it or not?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ba'al smirks.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
I cannot believe I'm even considering co-operating with a female of the Tau'ri, and a Tok'ra.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SELMAK<br/><br />
This was not my idea, believe me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
I'll instruct my troops to land.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No way. You send one Jaffa down here and the deal's off.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
I cannot do what you ask by means of a hologram transmission.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Sure you can. Just tell me what to do.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What the hell is that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
I'm not sure, Sir. I can't access the system. Looks like something's hacked into the computer remotely.</blockquote><br />

Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill walks up to Reynolds.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REYNOLDS<br/><br />
We're cut off from the self destruct. They were too fast. Even if we could fight through them now there's a good chance they've already disabled the activation mechanism.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Those bugs cannot get out of this mountain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They start walking along the corridor.]<br />

It's only a matter of time before they gain control of the base systems and override the security doors.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Alright! Let's make sure everybody's out of here and then we'll toss a little nuke down the silo.</blockquote><br />

It should slow them down.</blockquote><br />

You can't handle it, can you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
I can. I just need time to process, share it with the others.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Like the universe, it's infinite. It's not just knowledge and information, it's understanding on a level that you will never reach.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
Why do you think that?</blockquote><br />
<br />

Because you're a machine.</blockquote><br />

So are you. Just of weaker construction.</blockquote><br />

What?</blockquote><br />

You promised you'd leave Earth alone. There's Replicators infiltrating the SGC right now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
How can you know that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel simply looks at her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
While I was in your mind, you were inside mine.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Took a while to figure out. Fortunately, you were too distracted to notice. Some of the Ancient knowledge really helped too, thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />

You tricked me.</blockquote><br />
<br />

You tricked me first.</blockquote><br />
<br />

You should never have told me.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Too late. For you that is.</blockquote><br />

[She raises her hand to hit him, but he grabs her wrist.]<br />
<br />

Trying to leave? Sorry. A little more time in Danny's world.</blockquote><br />

'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDORS'''<br />
<br />
[Replicators are swarming along the corridor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Siler!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />

Sorry, Sir, I'm trying!</blockquote><br />

[O'Neill continues to fire.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TENT'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is holding Replicator Carter's wrist tightly. His eyes are closed, but they suddenly opens and he looks triumphantly at Replicator Carter, who also opens her eyes in surprise.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Got you now!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Replicator Carter stares at Daniel, trying to free her wrist.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDORS'''<br />
<br />
[The Replicators suddenly stop.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REYNOLDS<br/><br />
Huh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Reynolds looks at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's odd.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Reynolds nods slightly, then they both turn and open fire again.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REBEL JAFFA MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
The Replicator ship just&hellip; stopped. Sensors are indicating that all of the Replicator ships have&hellip; ceased&hellip; activity.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c looks puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(into comms system)<br/><br />
Colonel Carter. Have you successfully activated the weapon?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[The Replicators in the temple have also stopped.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Not yet, but the Replicators down here just froze.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REBEL JAFFA MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c looks very puzzled.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter turns to Jacob.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Dad?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE INNER ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Almost there!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TENT'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is struggling to keep the Replicators frozen and Replicator Carter smiles at him grimly]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
There are so many, aren't there? Too many for your mind to handle. It's taking all of your concentration just to control them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Replicator Carter pulls her wrist from Daniel's hold. The tent suddenly changes to the inside of the Replicator ship.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REPLICATOR SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is encased by Replicator blocks which retreat into the wall, freeing him. he walks towards Replicator Carter but her hand transforms into the huge knife which she used to kill Yu. She stabs Daniel, the knife going completely through his body.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDORS'''<br />
<br />
[The Replicators begin to move again and are fired upon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, that was too good to last.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[The Replicators begin to move again and are fired upon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Dad, they're on the move again!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE INNER ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The differential has lowered to 0.76.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Point 76!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Do it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob activates the weapon and the building starts to shake.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;DAKARA'''<br />
<br />
[The top of the temple begins to split open and Stargates are activated.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Siler looks up as the Stargate opens.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SILER<br/><br />
Incoming wormhole?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REPLICATOR SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel has collapsed onto the floor. Replicator Carter looks on as blood trickles from his mouth. Suddenly, she looks away, obviously uncomfortable.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;DAKARA'''<br />
<br />
[The top of the temple has opened and a huge weapon rises, powering up. ]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REBEL JAFFA MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
[The ship is still under attack.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
Enemy ship is in range. It is powering</blockquote><br />
weapons. We cannot survive another hit.<br />
<br />
[Teal'c looks on, hopeless.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is still firing at the Replicators.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDORS'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill continues to fire at the Replicators.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REPLICATOR SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel lies on the floor, his eyes slowly closing as he dies.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;DAKARA'''<br />
<br />
[A huge energy wave is released from the Ancient weapon and all Replicators on the planet are destroyed.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The energy wave reaches the mothership. ]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REBEL JAFFA MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
[All Replicators in the ship are destroyed.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The energy wave comes through the Stargate.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDORS'''<br />
<br />
[The wave hits the corridors and all Replicators are destroyed. O'Neill and the SFs look around, puzzled.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REPLICATOR SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is lying dead on the Replicators ship. Replicator Carter looks up as the energy wave approaches and destroys the ship. ]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE INNER ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter and the Jaffa lower their weapons, looking at the destroyed Replicators in shock. Carter turns to Jacob and moves towards him. Jacob is slumped against the alien device.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Dad.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I'm alright.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I don't know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You did it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Well, Selmak deserves a little credit. Okay, most of it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BA'AL'S SHIP'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
All Replicator controlled ships are dormant.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Prepare enough squads to board them, and reclaim them in the name of their God.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
Yes, my Lord. We are being hailed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
On screen.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c appears on the viewscreen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Surrender now and you will be granted mercy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ba'al smirks.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
You are hardly in any position to be making such ridiculous demands. You are surrounded.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You are incorrect. It is, in fact, you that is surrounded, by free Jaffa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly, the Krull warriors flanking Ba'al are shot. Bra'tac and a number of Jaffa enter. Teal'c looks on, smirking, as Ba'al's Jaffa are overpowered and Ba'al is surrounded by rebel Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Behold your false God.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ba'al looks at Bra'tac and laughs. He activates a wrist device and beams off the ship before Bra'tac can shoot him. Bra'tac, shocked, turns to the viewscreen and shakes his head at Teal'c, who raises an eyebrow.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SGC COMPLEX DAY'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDORS'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Carter walk up the stairs to his office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Any more word from Teal'c?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, Sir. Although Ba'al got away, the fact that he turned tail and ran made the rebel victory every bit the turning point Teal'c and Bra'tac were hoping for. Jaffa from all over the galaxy are joining with them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, viva la revolution!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They're a significant sized fleet securing Dakara. Hopefully, with the weapons we've provided they'll be able to turn the tide against Anubis' super soldiers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC O'NEILL'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[They enter his office, both standing on either side of O'Neill's desk.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It looks like the Jaffa might finally win their freedom.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill picks up a folder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It's about time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, Sir. Oh! I heard from Thor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
How's he doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill sits.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Great! He sends us all his congratulations and says that he will drop by for a visit as soon as his consciousness has been downloaded from the ship's computer into a new body. </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That just never gets old, does it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Apparently not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter smiles.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter, did you notice if the Replicators where you were happened to&hellip; stop in the middle of everything?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, it was really strange, they just&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER & O'NEILL<br/><br />
(together)<br/><br />
Froze.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It actually bought us the time we needed to calibrate the weapon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Any idea why that happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You think Daniel had something to do with it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I don't know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, if he was onboard that Replicator ship, then&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter! We don't know anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Anything else?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill turns to his paperwork. Carter looks at him for a moment, shrugs, then leaves. O'Neill begins to write, but after she leaves he stops. He looks up, worried, and is obviously thinking about Daniel.]<br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[A ha'tak flies through space, heading for a huge mothership.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MOTHERSHIP MEETING CHAMBER'''<br />
<br />
[Ba'al's female representative addresses three System Lords, including Yu.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPRESENTATIVE<br/><br />
The System Lords are no longer. You have become a meaningless coalition that cannot resist the power of my master, Lord Ba'al.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oshu, Yu's First Prime bends to listen to Yu whisper to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSHU<br/><br />
Your master has no honour. The System Lords have not weakened in their resolve.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPRESENTATIVE<br/><br />
The Jaffa are weak willed and fallible. Is it any wonder they've begun to doubt their faith in the Gods. So many Goa'uld have fallen.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSHU<br/><br />
Ba'al was wise to send a representative.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>YU<br/><br />
I would have killed him with my own hands!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Yu, obviously angry, raises his fists.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPRESENTATIVE<br/><br />
Despite your ill will, Lord Ba'al wishes to extend a most generous offer. In exchange for your surrender, Ba'al will allow you to keep your armies and continue to administer your territories under his authority. You will be permitted to live, so long as you bow before him as a Supreme Commander of the entire Goa'uld domain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Yu is obviously furious.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPRESENTATIVE<br/><br />
Refusal to accept the terms of this offer will result in the resumption of hostilities and ultimately, your death.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A Jaffa walks up to Ba'al's spokeswoman and stands respectfully at her side. She gestures for him to speak to her, which he does quietly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPRESENTATIVE<br/><br />
(to Jaffa)<br/><br />
Bring her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>YU<br/><br />
What is the meaning of this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPRESENTATIVE<br/><br />
I should ask you the same thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter enters the chamber. Two Kull Warriors follow her, each with a hand on her shoulder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPRESENTATIVE<br/><br />
Major Samantha Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
Actually, I'm a Colonel now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The two super soldiers push Carter to her knees.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPRESENTATIVE<br/><br />
Her cargo ship was intercepted by my sentries when it violated the proximity zone around this station.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Yu rises, staring at Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPRESENTATIVE<br/><br />
I am well aware of your past relationship with SG-1 and the Tau'ri. Would you have me believe that her sudden appearance here is nothing more than mere coincidence?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Yu walks over to Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>YU<br/><br />
What are you doing here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter, obviously Replicator Carter, stabs Yu. The knife goes through his body. Replicator Carter advances on Ba'al's representative, the bloodied knife part of her metal arm.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[A replicator ship advances on the mothership.]<br />
<br />
'''END TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[A mothership hovers over a planet.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Bra'tac is at the controls. SG-1 walk into the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
They are late.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Or they're not coming.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Were that the case Rak'nor would have sent word.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
If he were able to do so.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Maybe we should reconsider the mission.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
This is not an SGC mission. Reconsidering is not an option.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks at Carter and sighs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Look, I know the timing of these first few surprise attacks is crucial, but&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And we're just here as observers but, right now, I'm observing the fact that if you take on one of Amateratsu's motherships without proper backup, you could get yourself killed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Us observers, too.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Many such attacks have been co-ordinated simultaneously across the galaxy. Each one designed to create a strategic weakness in the forces of the System Lords.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And if even one fails, I know&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The rebel Jaffa have gone to great lengths to acquire the security codes currently being used by the System Lords. If all goes according to plan they will believe we are allies and lower the shields.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
If all goes according to plan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Once the shields are lowered, the Jaffa contingent aboard this vessel, should be sufficient to overwhelm any initial resistance we may encounter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
We have allies within the ranks of Amateratsu's Jaffa, who will also help facilitate our attacks. Once the others witness the death of their false God, they will realise the truth and join our ranks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Isn't the fact that we haven't heard from Rak'nor kind of a bad sign?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bra'tac glances at Teal'c. A sensor chimes and a screen shows a space map.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Ship's sensors have detected a vessel closing in on our position. Hat'ak class.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Rak'nor?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Unlikely. Rak'nor would have hailed long before his approach.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Then it has to be Amateratsu. Shouldn't we get out of here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bra'tac turns to Teal'c, who looks uncomfortable.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Teal'c, the odds are not in our favour.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
They never are, Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel shrugs in agreement.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[A ha'tak closes on the mothership.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
I am hailing them and transmitting the security codes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The ship shudders as it is fired upon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
They fired on us. Shield strength is down 60%.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
How is that possible?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What the hell did they hit us with?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Returning fire.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c moves to the weapons console and fires.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The weapons fire seems to have had no effect.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Our weapons are ineffective.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The ship shudders as it is hit again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
We have lost shields.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Now can we get outta here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Navigational controls are not responding. We must evacuate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Glider bay?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We can use the rings to transport to the planet below and escape through the Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They leave and make their way through the ship. Suddenly, Teal'c stops, hand raised to stop the others.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Doors in the corridor ahead open and insect Replicators swarm towards them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
That's not good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
This way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c leads them off down another corridor. The Replicators follow and Carter and Daniel turn and firing at them. The Replicators zoom in on Daniel, who is suddenly beamed away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Colonel Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter follows Teal'c and Bra'tac, moving away from the Replicators.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SGC COMPLEX DAY'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Jacob walks down the ramp as O'Neill enters, arms outstretched in greeting.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Jacob!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Jack, we've got a problem. We need to talk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hi! Hello. How are ya? Long time, no see. What's doing? What's up? Hey buddy?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill pats Jacob on the shoulder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I'm sorry, Jack, it's good to see you again. Congratulations on your promotion.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They shake hands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Thanks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill smiles slightly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
You deserve it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes, well&hellip;What's up?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
The Replicators. They've launched an all-out attack on the Goa'uld. If the Goa'uld can't find a way to stop them the Replicators will easily overrun our galaxy in a matter of weeks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why didn't you say so?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob walks out of the gateroom, O'Neill following close behind.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm sorry! You said we had a problem, not a big galactic emergency!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC LAB'''<br />
<br />
[Jacob is sitting in front of a monitor, O'Neill standing beside him. A technician hands Jacob some equipment. O'Neill is also holding a device.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Our operatives have spent the past several years taking as many Goa'uld ships as possible, in an effort to track their movements. Today, we have beacons on more than a hundred motherships transmitting their location via subspace, to an encoded Tok'ra network.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill gestures at the device he is holding.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
It's a receiver that will allow me to tap into the subspace network. We can keep tabs on Ba'al's fleet, see how their battle with the Replicators is faring. We can also get up-to-the minute Tok'ra intelligence reports from our agents in the field.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You know, we could have used something like this a long time ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
The High Council never thought they could trust you with it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill hands the receiver to Jacob, who places it on the console.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What changed their mind?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Nothing. They don't know I took it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob prepares the receiver.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
My relationship with the council is still a little strained.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It's not going to get any better if you keep stealing stuff.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob turns to look at O'Neill, who places his hand on his shoulder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No complaints, I'll take anything I can get. Weapons, receivers, silverware.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Each dot represents a Goa'uld ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />

That's a lot of dots.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
That's just one small quadrant of the galaxy. Watch.</blockquote><br />

[Jacob types, and the screen changes to show the dots up close. Suddenly, one of the dots pulses and the frequency label against it changes to "Lost Signal" as the dot disappears. Another dot begins to pulse and also disappears off the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What just happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
The beacon stopped transmitting their signals. Likely meaning, those ships were either destroyed or taken over by the Replicators.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Another mothership disappears from the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Battles like the one you just witnessed are taking place across the galaxy. Several Goa'uld territories are now entirely in Replicator hands.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Another mothership disappears.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
As I said, given the progress of these battles, the Goa'uld will be wiped out in a matter of weeks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Yet another mothership disappears from the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You know, I have to admit, I have some mixed feelings about this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Well, we all want to see the Goa'uld stranglehold on the galaxy broken, but not if they're just going to be replaced by something worse.</blockquote><br />

So, what the heck happened? Didn't you guys have a ship?</blockquote><br />
<br />

<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
He was beamed away before our very eyes.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
By Replicators.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill sighs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Just Daniel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
There's only one reason I can think of. My duplicate. She knows the greatest threat the Replicators have ever known is the disruptor technology that you built using Ancient knowledge.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So? She's immune to that now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, but Replicators always seek out the most advanced technology. She may be worried that there's other Ancient technology out there that could be a threat to her and the rest of the Replicators.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Daniel Jackson had access to the knowledge of the Ancients when he was ascended.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I thought he didn't retain those memories?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We don't know that for sure. Daniel has remembered certain things from when he was ascended. She may think that everything she needs to know about the Ancients is buried in his subconscious. If it is, she'll find it.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
The Tok'ra have operatives in Ba'al's inner circle, including one of his high ranking lieutenants. According to the latest intelligence, the ranks of the Jaffa rebellion are re-pledging their loyalty to the Goa'uld, by the thousands.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
But the Goa'uld are losing the war.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, you'd think that'd make them look weaker.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
The Jaffa have never seen the likes of such creatures. Many could see these Replicators as a plague, an evil punishment brought upon all for daring to stray in their beliefs and betray their Gods.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
This situation has dealt the Jaffa rebellion a serious blow. Even if we were to somehow defeat the Replicators the Goa'uld would undoubtedly take credit, thereby solidifying Jaffa loyalty, as well as their belief in the Goa'uld as Gods.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I think the key phrase in there was, "somehow defeat the Replicators"?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We haven't had much luck, sir. The inert Replicator cells left behind by my duplicate haven't given us any clues as to how to fight the immunity she's developed. As far as I know, Thor hasn't made much progress in modifying the disruptor technology, either.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, let him know what's going on, and don't be afraid to remind him that we've saved his cute, little grey bum, several times.</blockquote><br />

[He turns to face Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps. Yet there may be a way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Even if we can, I wonder, will it make a difference? These machines are unlike anything I've seen.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We must proceed in the belief that Colonel Carter and Thor will devise a means to destroy the Replicators.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
How then can we prevent the Goa'uld from taking credit, and solidifying their position as Gods in the eyes of all Jaffa?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We must act now, before this conflict is resolved. Win back the hearts and minds of those who waver, before they are lost to us. We must, once and for all, destroy the Goa'uld's image as Gods, forever.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
How?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
By capturing the temple at Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bra'tac looks shocked.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Everything we have fought for hangs in the balance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Yes. But Dakara?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Capture it, and never again will a Jaffa worship a false God.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm only going to say this once, Carter. What happened to Daniel was not your fault.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
She knows he may hold key Ancient knowledge because of me. She's out there because of me. I basically gave her the means to counter the only effective weapon we have against her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I also gave you permission to work with her. It's not going to change anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter sighs quietly and looks down.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Unless you're suggesting we use that time machine to go back and fix it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, sir. We all agreed we would never do that. For all we know it could just make things worse.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
I have already transported your research and the remains of the human-form Replicator to this lab. We may continue our work from here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter walks over to Thor at the control module.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Any progress on your end?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
I have yet to isolate the cipher the human form Replicator introduced to render the disruptor weapon ineffective.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, given the situation I think it's time to take more drastic steps.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter is standing next to a podium holding the separated parts of Replicator Carter's arm.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
You are suggesting we attempt to trigger a subspace connection between the remains of the arm and the rest of the Replicator, so that we may search for the cipher among their communications data?</blockquote><br />
<br />

'''INT&mdash;SGC O'NEILL'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill is siting behind his desk, Bra'tac and Teal'c standing in front of it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What makes this place so special?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The temple at Dakara is sacred to all Jaffa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
It is rich in historical significance. Legend tells, it is the place where Anubis rose from the dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is also the site of the first Prim'ta ritual.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
It is that rite of passage that has bonded us in servitude, ever since. For thousands of years the Jaffa have viewed Dakara as the holiest of sites, the very cradle of our existence. It is the place where the Goa'uld first gave Jaffa their strength and longevity.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And you really think this place is going to make a difference?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Seizing control of the temple there would prove beyond a shadow of a doubt the Goa'uld do not possess the power of the Gods.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Even the most stubborn Jaffa would have to question his loyalty to the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
There has to be a catch or you guys would have done this a long time ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Dakara is deep within Ba'al's territory, and under normal circumstances it is heavily guarded. However, with Ba'al's forces deployed throughout the galaxy battling the Replicators, the temple is more vulnerable now than it has ever been.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Still, our success depends on the element of surprise and the use of the entire rebel fleet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill shakes his head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Listen to me, O'Neill. This war must be fought on two fronts. We will re-ignite the uprising and conquer our oppressors, while you find the means to stop these Replicators. Let us each fight the enemy we know best.</blockquote><br />

Hello, Daniel.</blockquote><br />

You have information that I need.</blockquote><br />

Okay, what do you want to know?</blockquote><br />

I'm afraid it's not that simple.</blockquote><br />

Oh no, it is that simple.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As she nears him, he backs away until he reaches a wall.]<br />

If it's all the same to you, I'd rather not do the hand on the head thing. Honestly, I'll tell you whatever you want to know.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Honesty is not the problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly, bands come out of the wall, holding him in place by his arms and legs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
Unfortunately, to get what I need, we're going to have to dig a little deeper.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Tolok, you have not spoken.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Aron's right. We would be sacrificing countless men and ships on a fruitless mission.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bra'tac turns to Teal'c, who looks disappointed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
We should be concentrating on the greater threat, the Replicators, before they destroy us all.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Jaffa, hear me. I have engaged the Replicators in battle many times. Believe me when I say they cannot be defeated by conventional means.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
You have faced them in the past and won.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed. Yet never in such numbers. Those of you who choose to engage the Replicators in battle will not survive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Teal'c is right. We must fight only those battles we know we can win.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
Yet you propose an equally impossible task.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
With Ba'al otherwise occupied, now is the time to strike.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
No free Jaffa has ever set foot in the temple and lived.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Well, that is precisely why we must go there. If we succeed, many will join our cause.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
''If'' we succeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Were the circumstances different, I would feel the same as you, brother. But the situation has changed. We must act now or our children will know no future, let alone a taste of freedom.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
Teal'c, I believe there is wisdom in these words. However, you are aware that if we fail, it would effectively mean the end of the rebellion. Are you prepared to risk our entire cause on this one action?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bra'tac turns to look at Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed I am.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Jaffa look at each other.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
So. What say you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
I say we take Dakara.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
He's not putting up much of a fight, is he?</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
He's making a typical Goa'uld mistake. He's defending territory at the expense of resources.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob sighs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
We can send him a message through the undercover Tok'ra in his midst. We could suggest a change in strategy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Like what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Typically, the Replicators are patient and slow moving when not being engaged. If Ba'al stops aggressively fighting them and pulls back, it may give Sam more time to come up with a solution.</blockquote><br />

Forget that.</blockquote><br />

Look, there goes another one.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Jack, I'm sorry. But the more ships Ba'al sends out to fight, the faster the Replicators assimilate them into their own armada. Their numbers are growing exponentially.

<br />
[The rebel Jaffa fleet flies towards a wormhole.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;LEAD FLEET SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Aron is at the weapons system, with Teal'c and Bra'tac behind him at the controls.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
We are approaching Dakara. Defences?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I am reading only a single Hat'ak class vessel in orbit around the planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Ba'al must indeed be desperate. There are normally a dozen ships patrolling this system.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
Then we may yet succeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The ship is orbiting a brown planet. More ships come through the wormhole.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;LEAD FLEET SHIP'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
We are in position.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
Gliders are ready for launch.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We are being hailed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
(over comms system)<br/><br />
You have encroached on the domain of Lord Ba'al. Identify yourselves immediately.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Shal'kek nem'ron. You are greatly outnumbered. Surrender now or be destroyed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TENT'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel appears to be back on Vis Uban, wearing the blue robes he was wearing when found by SG-1. He looks around, puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
They called you Arrom, did they not?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel turns to see Oma in the entryway.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
After you returned to your plane of existence.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Oma.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel smiles.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Daniel, it is good to see you again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don't understand. Last thing I remember&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
You are still on the ship. The human-form Replicator is attempting to probe your mind as we speak.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So why are you here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Because when she is done she will destroy you. And when that time comes you will be faced with a choice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel frowns.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;ANUBIS' PLANET'''<br />
<br />
[A couple of ship fly low over the city.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ANUBIS' TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[Ba'al enters, and walks to stand in front of Anubis.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
I've received word from the battle. The bulk of the fleet continues to engage the Replicators, as you have ordered. However&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ba'al pauses. Anubis is sitting on a throne, his hands blistered.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
I believe it would be wise to pull our forces back. If we stop confronting the enemy on so wide a front, it may slow their advance, and allow us a chance to mount a proper defence.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
You doubt my power?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Of course not. But your fleet is falling into their hands rapidly. Not even the Kull Warriors&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Anubis raises his head, his face also badly marred by blisters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
Do not concern yourself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Anubis turns to face Ba'al. His face is badly affected by sores and blisters. His eyes are bloodshot.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
When the time is right, I promise you, this nuisance will be dealt with. Trust in me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
As always.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SGC COMPLEX DAY'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC LABORATORY'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is speaking to O'Neill via videolink.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It took several hundred micro-second long connections, and hours to go through each subsequent burst of data, but eventually we managed to isolate the cipher that makes the Replicators immune to the disruptor, and we've adjusted it accordingly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
(to O'Neill)<br/><br />
The weapon works again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to Carter)<br/><br />
Good job!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It was an incredibly risky thing to do, sir. As it stands, we still don't know if we were detected. And, of course, the altered disruptor still needs to be tested under battle conditions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Got a plan?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Thor was able to ascertain the various positions of the fleet now controlled by the Replicators. We're going to engage a few isolated ships.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Be careful, Sam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Good luck.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Thank you, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The videolink shuts down.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Never a dull moment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TENT'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So, you're here to offer me the opportunity to ascend again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
If that is what you wish.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I wish? What are my options?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Personally, I would choose eternal enlightenment rather than the alternative.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
If it were only that simple.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
I admit, the decision is not as easy as it appears. The last time, for you, the experience was challenging at the best of times.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Unfortunately, I don't have any memories of the last time I was ascended. How can I make an informed decision if I don't remember what it was like?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Daniel, I did not take your memories from you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You think I haven't tried to remember? Tell me how.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
I can't.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Then tell me what I need to know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
If you are seeking an absolute truth you will not find it. Only truth that applies to you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
That is so extremely unhelpful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
When the time comes, you will know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What if Replicator Carter finds what it is she's looking for?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
There is that possibility.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You have to stop her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
I can't.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Why not? Offer me ascension now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
You're not dead yet. All I can do is prepare you, help you to find your path to enlightenment when that time comes, if that is what you decide you want.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
There's a way to defeat the Replicators hidden somewhere within my memories, isn't there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
You need only to open your mind to it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;DAKARA'''<br />
<br />
[The temple is in barren terrain, ringed by ancient, ruined monuments. A lone ship flies over the temple.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[A small number of Jaffa, one injured and lying on a litter, are held captive by the rebel Jaffa. Bra'tac, Teal'c, Aron and Tolok are standing before the captured Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Brothers! All of you will be detained. Have patience&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bra'tac moves to a captured Jaffa and places his hand on the Jaffa's shoulder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
&hellip;for all of you who renounce the Goa'uld as false Gods will one day be free. Take them. Go. You will not be harmed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The captured Jaffa move out of the temple, followed by the rebel Jaffa. Teal'c, a small smile on his face, and Aron move to face Bra'tac.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
The last of the garrison have surrendered. The temple is secure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Many lives were spared today. Well done!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bra'tac grabs Teal'c's forearm, who nods respectfully.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The ''Daniel Jackson'' appears out of a wormhole and comes face to face with a lone mothership.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;THE <i>DANIEL JACKSON</i>'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Firing weapon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The viewscreen shows the disruptor weapon firing towards the mothership.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
[The Replicators are all destroyed.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;THE <i>DANIEL JACKSON</i>'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
The ship's systems have shut down.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That worked well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
The weapon appears to be effective.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The viewscreen shows another mothership heading towards them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Another ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
They are firing on us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The ''Daniel Jackson'' shudders as it is hit.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Targeting the second ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The ''Daniel Jackson'' fires the disruptor weapon at the mothership, which immediately returns fire.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;THE <i>DANIEL JACKSON</i>'''<br />
<br />
[The ship rocks after being hit again. The viewscreen shows the mothership still heading towards the ''Daniel Jackson''.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's still coming.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
They have adapted themselves to our modifications.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That was fast.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The ship rocks again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Initiating evasive action.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The ''Daniel Jackson'' jumps into hyperspace and disappears through a wormhole.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ANUBIS' TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[Ba'al enters and walks to the dais. Anubis is standing, facing a man being held by a couple of Kull Warriors.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Excuse the intrusion. I will return.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ba'al half turns away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
Stay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ba'al turns back to face Anubis. The man being held by the Kull Warriors is obviously afraid. Suddenly, Anubis' essence leaves the decimated body and moves into the man. The new Anubis moves away from the Kull Warriors, who drag away the old body in the cloak. Anubis walks up to a polished wall and looks at and touches his new face. ]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
Speak.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
A force of rebel Jaffa have managed to take control of the temple at Dakara.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
As I hoped. They have no doubt gathered their full force and presented us with the perfect opportunity to annihilate them, once and for all. Have the fleet disengage their battle with the Replicators and move on Dakara. Take it back at all cost. Leave no survivors.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
As you wish.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ba'al turns away then pauses, eyebrow raised.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TENT'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
You control the barrier between your consciousness and what you seek. You merely need to open your mind. The truth is, all knowledge, everything that is and was and will be, is everywhere. Out there and in all of us. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel smiles slightly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Oma appears confused and hesitates slightly before replying.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No. You're trying to understand it, aren't you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OMA<br/><br />
It means what you want it to mean.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, it doesn't, and you're not Oma.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The image of Oma transforms into Replicator Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
No, I'm not, but it doesn't matter. Thanks to you I've found what I was looking for.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The ''Daniel Jackson'' exits a wormhole.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;THE <i>DANIEL JACKSON</i>'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
We are approaching Earth. We will be there shortly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly the ship's power fluctuates.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What's wrong?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Several of my key systems are no longer responding. We have been boarded.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The ship exits hyperspace.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;THE <i>DANIEL JACKSON</i>'''<br />
<br />
[The viewscreen image of the interior of the ship fades and distorts]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
See if you can modify the disruptor wave again. I'll go buy us some time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns away to leave.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
I have no way of knowing how many Replicators you will face.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, what choice do we have?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
I must return you to Stargate Command before my transporter systems are affected.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And what about you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
I will attempt to fly this ship as far away from Earth as possible, before it is completely compromised.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No way, I'm not gonna let you&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter is beamed away.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC O'NEILL'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter appears in the office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
&hellip;sacrifice yourself. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She stops as she realises that she's back at the SGC.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Dammit!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks up from his paperwork, surprised.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter sighs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The weapon worked at first, but the Replicators immediately adapted themselves. They're immune again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No chance you guys could fix this thing, get it to work?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, Thor's ship was boarded. He beamed me down here before all his systems were compromised. He's trying to get his ship as far away from Earth as possible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'll take that as a no.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;DAKARA'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DAKARA TEMPLE'''<br />
<br />
[Aron is walking around the temple, as Teal'c stands, touching a huge pillar. Aron walks up to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Never in my dreams could I have imagined I would one day stand beneath these great columns.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They walk into the centre of the temple.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARON<br/><br />
Think of it. This is the very spot in which our enslavement began.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Then this sacred temple is an appropriate place for our enslavement to end.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They make their way over to Bra'tac, Teal'c smiling.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We have won a great victory here today, old friend.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
We have won a battle, Teal'c, nothing more. Our victory is far from assured.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Many of Ba'al's Jaffa have already pledged their allegiance to our cause. When word spreads of what we have accomplished, many more will follow.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
And their hearts will turn cold again if they hear our accomplishment lasted mere hours.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Tolok enters the temple. Bra'tac turns to face him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Tolok. What news?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLOK<br/><br />
We have received word. Ba'al has broken off his battle with the Replicators. He is coming.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
As we expected. You see? Taking the temple was not our greatest challenge. Holding it, will be.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TENT'''<br />
<br />
[The candles are all extinguished.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
This Oma character. Why do you have such reverence for her? These ridiculous sayings are just nonsense.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
To you maybe.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
If she really has as much power as you think she does, why doesn't she help you? She merely stands by and does nothing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Do you mean, while you destroy entire civilizations?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
That's a matter of perspective. You call it destruction. We call it creation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You're not really trying to justify your actions, are you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
No. I have no need for you to understand us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Why the elaborate ruse? I mean, you probed my mind at will, I obviously can't stop you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
You could have resisted. I needed you to open up to the possibility of remembering the knowledge in your subconscious. It made it much easier for me to find what I was looking for.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And what did you find?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She turns to the outside, where the sand is being re-formed to the shape of the temple at Dakara.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Pretty. What is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
The ruins of an Ancient monument on a planet now called Dakara. Within it is the one weapon in this galaxy capable of destroying me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She moves her hand and the image in the sand blows away. She turns back to face Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
Thanks to you, it will soon be no more.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel stares, frowning, at Replicator Carter.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[An alarm is sounding. Harriman checks his watch as he and Siler stand, facing Ba'al's hologram.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
I'm sure he'll be here any second now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ba'al is obviously impatient.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
So, um&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I am so sorry! I was just finishing up a lovely brunch.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill slaps his stomach.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Impudence.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, tuna. So, I hear your fleet is retreating from the Replicators.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
How could you know that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I have my sources.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
My fleet is on its way to recapture Dakara and destroy the Jaffa who have dishonoured their true God.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Will you stop with the true God crap? I mean seriously, what difference will it make? You're just delaying the inevitable.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
The Replicators are a formidable enemy, but I've recently learned of a weapon hidden on Dakara capable of destroying them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Really? And you're telling me this, why?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Because you must destroy it, before my fleet arrives to claim it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Alright, you got me. I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
The weapon on Dakara was built by the Ancients. It is not only capable of destroying the Replicators but all life in the galaxy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And, your own sweet self included.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So why would you use it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
I would not, but there is one who would. One who can survive such pervasive devastation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill closes his eyes briefly and shakes his head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, please don't tell me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BA'AL<br/><br />
Anubis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I asked you not to tell me.</blockquote><br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P3X-984&mdash;ALPHA SITE&mdash;SANDY AREA NEAR STARGATE, DAY'''<br />
<br />
[People are shouting, SGC personnel are guarding the Gate and rebel Jaffa are running around chaotically helping Tok'ra refugees coming through the Gate]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Immobilise with a cervical collar and let the symbiote heal the damage.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Artok, wearing the tattoo of Heru'ur, and another Jaffa are running with a stretcher towards the Gate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Pressure dressing, stat. Airway's compromised. Corpsman, priority one. Let's move!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Carter are standing by watching the Gate as wounded Tok'ra come through. Ocker and another Tok'ra carrying a large box come through the Gate. Artok approaches and steps close to the box. Ocker twists his arm and pushes him away. Teal'c, Rak'nor and some other Jaffa surround Ocker and point their staff weapons at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey! Hey!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bra'tac holds back Artok]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What's that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OCKER<br/><br />
We were told we could bring equipment essential to our security.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That wasn't the question. Open it up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ocker opens the box and reveals a Zatarc detector.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
A Zatarc detector.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
See, that's all you had to say. Move out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ocker and another Tok'ra lift the box and carry it away. More SGC personnel come through the Gate followed by more Tok'ra. O'Neill turns toward Pierce.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Pierce?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
Colonel. SG-12 was wiped out in the first wave, sir. The Goa'uld knew exactly where to hit. They took us completely by surprise.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Where's my father?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
He insisted on disabling the DHD at the Tok'ra base and ordered us to leave.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and O'Neill look concerned]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
See to your men.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pierce walks away. Jacob/Selmak steps through the Gate together with the Tok'ra Malek. A staff weapon blast comes shooting out of the Gate and hits Jacob in the leg just before the Stargate deactivates. Malek supports Jacob. Carter rushes towards her father and helps him down the steps in front of the Gate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Is the Gate secure?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
If the Chaapa'ai is soon reactivated, we will have the answer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I set a charge equivalent to a tactical nuke to detonate ten seconds after we left. No one's following us. No one saw the address.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You're sure about that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I'm positive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(turning to the SGC personnel)<br/><br />
Stand down. Help the wounded.<br/><br />
(to Jacob)<br/><br />
What happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
Anubis's forces overran our position in the Risa system.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
We tried dialling the SGC Gate, but the Gate must have already been active.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Jonas and SG-2 were returning from P36-231 with artefacts they'd gathered.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Jack, I know you wanted to keep the location of the Alpha site top-secret, but we had no alternative. We couldn't wait.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You dialled the coordinates yourself, right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Yeah. I was careful. Nobody saw.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
To whom do I owe thanks for this refuge?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Colonel Jack O'Neill, this is Malek, commander of the Tok'ra base we just evacuated. And Ocker, chief of security.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
Your people were most brave in aiding us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
How many made it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OCKER<br/><br />
Less than a quarter of our number.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
This is the base of the Tauri. Why are there Jaffa?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Rebel warriors.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
Jaffa who have turned against the Goa'uld. I did not realise their ranks had grown to such a number.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hundreds more are operating as a fifth column among the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Just like you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Malek looks sceptical]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Many of these rebel Jaffa had to evacuate their rebel base several months ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OCKER<br/><br />
I see.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Is that going to be a problem?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
Not for us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(concerned)<br/><br />
Dad.</blockquote><br />

'''END TEASER'''<br />

'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;ALPHA SITE&mdash;SANDY AREA NEAR STARGATE, DAY'''<br />
<br />
[A Tok'ra funeral is taking place. SGC personnel, Jaffa and Tok'ra are gathered around the Stargate; three Tok'ra bodies lie on a makeshift wooden scaffolding in front of the Gate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
Arik tre-ac te kek.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(translating quietly for O'Neill)<br/><br />
We do not surrender, even in death.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Tak mal arik tiak.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You will not be forgotten.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Malek signals to Ocker, who activates the Stargate. As the event horizon establishes, the wormhole lurches out and disintegrates the scaffolding with the bodies. The group of humans, Jaffa and Tok'ra breaks up. Soon after couple of Jaffa and Tok'ra start shouting at each other. O'Neill and Teal'c turn towards the voices. Artok is lying on the ground.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OCKER<br/><br />
(Walking towards Artok)<br/><br />
Nemeth kree!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey. Hey! What the hell is goin' on? This is a funeral, for cryin' out loud!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARTOK<br/><br />
I asked a question of this Tok'ra.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OCKER<br/><br />
No one may speak during the ritual.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
For this, you guys are fighting?! I'm sure he's sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARTOK<br/><br />
I am not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
On the inside.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OCKER<br/><br />
It does not matter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Look, it does not matter. Come on, a lot of people lost their lives. Show a little respect.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ocker turns and starts to walk away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARTOK<br/><br />
They are no different than the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Jaffa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Artok walks away angrily]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right, break it up! Go on home. There's nothin' to see here. Go on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
There's no need to apologise on their behalf, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Apologise?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
We understand the Jaffa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Actually, I was gonna remind you that without Bra'tac and Teal'c and other Jaffa, all your little Tok'ra folks would be pushin' up daisies right now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
And I need not remind you that the rebel Jaffa and the Tauri are equally indebted to us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c look surprised.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
How so?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
We have been fighting the Goa'uld for millennia.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. Just when should we expect some progress on that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Malek looks insulted.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It's been a bad day. Let's&hellip;move on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Malek walks away. Carter approaches.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir. Several of the Tok'ra have expressed concern about the temporary quarters they've been assigned.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Explain to them the meaning of the word "temporary". If they don't like it, they can leave.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You really want me to tell them that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes. No.<br/><br />
(sighs)<br/><br />
I'll do it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob is sitting on a crate watching Jaffa training. O'Neill walks toward him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey. How's the leg?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
It's better. One of the perks of being a Tok'ra.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(sitting down beside Jacob)<br/><br />
If you say so. What was all that crap at the funeral?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I wouldn't read too much into it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why do you guys have to be so dang&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Arrogant?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
It's complicated, symbiote and host. The blending of two personalities does sometimes have its drawbacks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Tell me about it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Jack, there's no denying you had a bad experience. But if you hadn't had a symbiote implanted&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah! Please, don't use that term, huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
If you hadn't been blended with Kanan, you'd be dead right now. By the way, if I hadn't become a Tok'ra, I'd be dead too. Kanan broke one of our highest laws. He used you. I can tell you that even Selmak was sickened by it and there's no way he could have hidden those feelings from me. But Kanan did something terribly wrong while trying to do the right thing. You can't forgive him for that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
It's a shame a true blending never really occurred. You might be able to understand the Tok'ra a little better.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, I think I understand 'em just fine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
You don't like us much any more, do you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I like you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I see the Jaffa differently. Most of the Tok'ra hosts come from worlds conquered by the Goa'uld, born into a feudal system where their only choices were forced labour or death.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So it's the host's fault?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
It's history. For 2,000 years, every time a Tok'ra died at the end of a staff weapon, a Jaffa was holding it. We just got our asses kicked by an army of Jaffa loyal to Anubis. You think that helps?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
There's talk among the Tok'ra ranks that the end is closer than we think. And I don't mean the end of the Goa'uld. I mean the end of us. All of us. The Jaffa rebellion isn't exactly rolling along as well as could be expected either, I take it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No. It's not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Then at least we have that much in common.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(walking around a naquadah reactor sitting on a table)<br/><br />
It seemed like a power fluctuation in the cycle output of the naquadah reactor. But at closer inspection, I discovered the absorption port and its redundancy had been tampered with.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter! I haven't had coffee.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, no one would have noticed it if they didn't know what to look for; the reactor would have overloaded.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Any chance this was an accident?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Not a chance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Would not such an explosion destroy an area several miles in circumference?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, it would.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Who knows about this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Except for the guards I posted, just us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
How long would it have taken for an overload to result in an explosion?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
An hour. Maybe less.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(sighs and takes out his radio)<br/><br />
Pierce? O'Neill. No one goes within 20 yards of the Gate till I get there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
What are you considering, O'Neill?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, if you'd rigged you reactor to blow&hellip;wouldn't you want to be offworld before it&hellip;blew?</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(talking to O'Neill over the MALP radio)<br/><br />
I could send reinforcements.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Negative, sir. We've got enough people here as it is.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Colonel, at least let me rejoin the team. An incoming wormhole from Earth&mdash;what risk could there be?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Sorry Jonas, you're gonna have to sit this one out. In fact, until we know what's going on, General, I recommend no Gate travel either way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Understood, Colonel. I'll have SG-3 standing by, just in case.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We'll report back in 24 hours. O'Neill out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Stargate shuts down]<br />

Pierce, I want the guard doubled.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Malek and several other Tok'ra approach]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
What is happening?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Uh, looks we're gonna be stuck here for a while.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
It is imperative that we be allowed to seek another location for our base.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, you might want to put that on hold. We have a situation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
There is a saboteur among us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Our naquadah reactor almost went critical. I discovered it just in time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
And if you hadn't?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Then we wouldn't be having this chat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
I see.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This planet was chosen as our Alpha site because its address is unknown to the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And it is imperative that this base remain secret. We will be questioning everybody.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
Of course.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Starting with the Tok'ra.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Tok'ra look disturbed]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
For what reason?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Everything was fine until you showed up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
If what you say is true, we would have perished with you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It'd only take one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
Selmak?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SELMAK<br/><br />
We have no choice. The Zatarc detector will reveal any lie or deception.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, but a spy within either the Jaffa or Tok'ra ranks wouldn't necessarily have to be a Zatarc to attempt this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SELMAK<br/><br />
Any deception will be detected, whether we are dealing with a Zatarc or not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;INTERROGATION ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Malek sits with a Zatarc probing device on his temple looking at the detector. Jacob/Selmak is standing looking at the monitor of the detector, which remains unchanged]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
That is when I requested to leave and you informed me of the sabotage.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Do you know why the Tok'ra base fell?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
Exactly how Anubis was able to defeat our defence system remains a mystery.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Okay, we're done.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Malek stands and Jacob removes the small device from his temple]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
Thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No. Thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Malek leaves the room. O'Neill looks outside through the window and sees Artok and Ocker almost getting into another fight. Teal'c holds back Artok.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I'll screen the wounded, but I doubt they could have made it from the infirmary undetected. After that, if we still have nothing, base personnel will have to be screened.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(turning to look at Jacob)<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
And the Jaffa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Bra'tac?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
I had hoped it would not come to that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Look, if the Jaffa won't submit to the screening after the Tok'ra already have, we're just askin' for trouble.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
The very purpose of this device questions one's honour.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Or you could say it confirms one's honour.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
It is also of Tok'ra design.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, come on!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
I have learned much in my 137 years. Can you look me in the eye and tell me you trust the Tok'ra entirely?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No. Not entirely. But enough to allow myself to be screened along with everybody else.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
(bowing his head slightly)<br/><br />
I will convince the Jaffa to submit. You have my word. Perhaps once the Tok'ra see how big Jaffa hearts can be, they will finally look upon us as equals.</blockquote><br />

Colonel O'Neill!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;COMPOUND, DAY'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill, Bra'tac and Jacob run outside towards Malek, who is standing behind some crates and barrels. As they approach, they see the dead body of Ocker lying on the ground behind the barrels.]<br />
<br />
[Fraiser and Carter are inspecting Ocker's dead body. Artok is led to Ocker's dead body by two Tok'ra]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
You killed Ocker.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARTOK<br/><br />
I would have, if he'd challenged me again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
Are you not responsible for this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARTOK<br/><br />
I only wish I was.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Answer him directly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARTOK<br/><br />
I will not explain myself to him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Then explain it to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Artok and Malek look at each other aggressively]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Please.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARTOK<br/><br />
I was across the compound.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
I insist that he be screened immediately.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The tension between Tok'ra and Jaffa is visibly mounting]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[An SG guard and a Tok'ra approach Artok, who turns around defiantly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARTOK<br/><br />
I will not! I will not!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bra'tac holds back the Tok'ra approaching Artok and turns around to face him. They look at each other meaningfully. Artok then bows his head and walks away quietly, followed by SG guards.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter, I want you in there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to Fraiser who sits by Ocker's body)<br/><br />
I need to know the cause of death.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
I'll get on it, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(turning around to face Bra'tac and Jacob)<br/><br />
You both know this, but I'm gonna say it out loud anyway. I need every bit of influence you two have, or this whole thing's gonna blow up.</blockquote><br />

No.</blockquote><br />

What more proof do you need?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This device is not infallible. It can give false positives. We've seen it before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
A short while ago, you were all willing to stake the security of the base on it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Artok's obvious hostility towards the Tok'ra could be throwing off the readings.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
His hostility is the reason Ocker is dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What if we verify his alibi?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel's right. Maybe someone saw him where he said he was.</blockquote><br />

Tok'ra and Jaffa deliberately ate apart from each other.</blockquote><br />

Of course you won't. So, why don't we see what the autopsy says?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
Why?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Because we don't convict people just because some damn light turns red!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
How long will the autopsy take?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's hard to say.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
The report may offer tangible evidence proving or disproving his guilt.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Look, he's not goin' anywhere. You've got my word.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
And mine as well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
(apparently having some sort of internal struggle)<br/><br />
Many Tok'ra have died in recent days. To lose another of our number in a place we had thought was refuge, it is difficult.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm sure it is.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;AUTOPSY ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c, Bra'tac, Carter, O'Neill and Malek stand listening to Fraiser]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
There is some bruising around the right side of his mouth, which could be a sign that the killer prevented him from calling out by covering his mouth with his left hand from behind. The trauma to the back of the neck was done with a bladed weapon of fairly exotic design. The blade was used to sever the spinal column of the host between the first and second cervical vertebrae, while simultaneously severing the spinal column of the symbiote between the 33rd and 34th precloacal vertebrae.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Death would have been instantaneous.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
No Jaffa did this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How do you know?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Jaffa do not kill in this fashion.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
Are you suggesting that a Jaffa could not be trained to do this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
I am telling you that a Jaffa would not. Vengeance is exacted face to face, not from behind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
Face to face, a Jaffa may not survive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is a Tok'ra or a Goa'uld who has committed this act.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
I disagree.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[An alarm starts to sound. Everyone runs outside and into the cellblock where the alarm is coming from. Artok is lying dead on the floor of his closed holding cell about three feet away from the bars.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;CELLBLOCK, DAY'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;HOLDING CELL'''<br />
<br />
[Fraiser and Carter are examining Artok's body]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
This is different. This was a frontal attack. The only similar thing is that it was done by a bladed weapon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The same one?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Could be. Won't know for sure until I inspect the trauma to the internal organs.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Was the door locked, Sergeant?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SERGEANT<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Did you hear anything?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SERGEANT<br/><br />
No, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's pretty unlikely that someone defeated the lock on the cell door, stabbed with him without a fight, and then relocked the door as they left. What if they attacked through the bars and the force of the blow pushed him back to where he is now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
It was a frontal attack. So why are there no defensive wounds?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
He'd have to be standing in front of the bars.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
A Jaffa would never expose himself to such a vulnerable position.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
Unless he knew his killer&hellip;and did not fear him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;AREA NEAR STARGATE, DAY'''<br />
<br />
[Artok's body is carried outside on a stretcher by two SGC guards.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAK'NOR<br/><br />
Artok is dead! Only yesterday he helped to carry your wounded, and then you killed him!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Now is not the time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAK'NOR<br/><br />
You know the truth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I do not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
A Tok'ra did not kill him. Of this I am certain.<br/><br />
(looking at the blade on Rak'nors belt)<br/><br />
You carry a blade on your belt.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAK'NOR<br/><br />
To defend myself, when the Tok'ra finally come for me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Malek starts to walk past Rak'nor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAK'NOR<br/><br />
(grabbing Malek's left arm)<br/><br />
He was defenceless!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Malek lashes out with the back of his left hand and squarely hits Rak'nor in the face. Jaffa and Tok'ra immediately line up in rows and point their weapons at the opposite side.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Malek!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Somebody wanna&hellip;tell me what's goin' on here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[No one answers; instead Jaffa and Tok'ra glare aggressively at each other with weapons ready]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Anybody? Why don't we put the weapons&hellip;down?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Teal'c! O'Neill!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Should we go check this out, let these folks talk among themselves?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and O'Neill turn and walk to meet Bra'tac who is standing a short distance away]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Footprints. Recently made, and alone. Whoever did this fled quickly in that direction.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
The footprints&hellip;Jaffa or Tok'ra?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
They could be either one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The rows of Tok'ra and Jaffa slowly put their weapons back down.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right, let's do a head count.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Everyone in the compound has gathered on a small hill some distance away from the Stargate]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right, listen up, folks. The good news is, we can stop pointing fingers at each other. Everyone's been accounted for. However, that does mean that someone or, dare I say it, some thing is still floatin' around, tryin' to do us in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
We will search in groups of three, a Tok'ra, Jaffa and Tauri in each.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
This thing was trying to turn us against each other. The fact that we're onto him makes him more dangerous. Keep that in mind. Let's move out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;WOODS AROUND COMPOUND, DAY'''<br />
<br />
[Everyone moves in teams into the woods around the compound. The team made up of Teal'c, Pierce and a Tok'ra soon come across another team of three. The Jaffa, Tok'ra and Grier are lying dead on the forest floor near a tree.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
O'Neill?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(stops his team and speaks into radio)<br/><br />
Go ahead, Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We have located Captain Grier's search team. They are dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Any tracks?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Each team member appears to have been killed separately and dragged to this location.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Okay. What's your position?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
East of the creek near the base of the north cliff.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Near O'Neill, a twig snaps and branches are moved by an invisible Ashrak]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Stand by, I got something here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c, O'Neill and Bra'tac look at each other, pondering their next course of action]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(into his radio)<br/><br />
Carter, hook up with Teal'c at his position. Secure the area.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(into her radio)<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter gives Jacob and Rak'nor directions with her hand and they get moving. O'Neill gives hand directions to Bra'tac and Malek and they move off as well. As they walk amidst the trees, the Ashrak looks down upon them from a branch up in a tree. He has a blurry, distorted, pale blue view because of the visor attached to his helmet. Malek and Bra'tac stop just below the Ashrak, who then jumps down from his branch. Bra'tac senses him coming and pushes Malek out of the way. Bra'tac fires his staff weapon but misses the Ashrak, who then attacks him. Bra'tac swings around his staff weapon in vain and fires five blasts in total. Malek also tries to zat the Ashrak but fails. Bra'tac is knocked to the ground. He pulls his knife but the Ashrak knocks it out of his hand. Then he is knocked around some more until he is finally dragged off into the bushes. Malek is left behind and does not attempt to follow. Instead, he runs off back into the woods until he is stopped by O'Neill who is standing behind a tree.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Shhh! What happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
I could not defend against it. I had no choice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Where's Bra'tac?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
He is dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly Malek is lying on the ground with Teal'c's hands around his throat.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Tell me why I should not kill you here, Tok'ra.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
(speaking with an effort)<br/><br />
He was swept away. There was nothing I could have done.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You could have pursued him! Master Bra'tac could have been saved.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
I believed it more important to report what I saw.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAK'NOR<br/><br />
How can we ever trust the Tok'ra if they would abandon a Jaffa in the midst of a battle?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
(speaking with a muffled voice)<br/><br />
If I had not, I would be dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill waves away a fly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Jack. A little help.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(without much conviction)<br/><br />
Teal'c. Stop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Malek makes choking sounds. Jacob looks at O'Neill, who is obviously not feeling like stepping in, and walks to Teal'c]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Teal'c, don't do this. Bra'tac would want us to stick together.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(sighs)<br/><br />
He's right, Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c looks at O'Neill and after a pause releases Malek, who then gasps for air and starts to cough.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
Bra'tac pushed me out of the way just before the attack. Somehow, he knew whoever it was had a personal cloaking device. He was invisible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAK'NOR<br/><br />
Invisible?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob helps Malek up]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Nirrti possesses stealth technology. She could've come through the Gate with the Tok'ra undetected. That would explain why there were no defensive wounds and how Anubis was able to defeat the defences of the Tok'ra base. An invisible spy could operate with impunity.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That woman continues to get on my nerves.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I doubt Nirrti would be in league with Anubis. She's a renegade.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, whoever it is, we're dealing with an enemy we can't see. Without TERs to counter that technology, we're helpless.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
Do you have the means to generate a high-frequency electromagnetic field?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I could modify the wave output of the naquadah reactor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
Within a range of 400 to 700 nanometres?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(excited)<br/><br />
That might just excite the phase particles enough to bring them into our visible light spectrum.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, the invisibility field must operate&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Are you about to tell me that you can make the invisible guy vi&hellip;?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's all I need.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
If you can see it, you can shoot it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
I will assist you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Fine. Let's move out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c looks at Malek in an extremely unfriendly way]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;AREA NEAR STARGATE, DAY'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We need to bring the reactor out in the open.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Do it. I want everybody else guarding the Gate.<br/><br />
(to all of the Tok'ra, Jaffa and SGC personnel)<br/><br />
All right, listen up! Our enemy has a device that can render himself, or herself, invisible. He or she may have come through the Gate with the wounded Tok'ra.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Whatever it is, it tried to play us against each other. And that's not gonna work any more, because now we know it is among us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Bra'tac is gone. His death will have been in vain unless we trust each other, and work together to defeat this enemy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Do what you have to do, but that son of a bitch does not get through that Gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
If this creature is allowed to leave, this base will have to be abandoned.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, I know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and O'Neill hear an engine. They turn around and see a small remote controlled vehicle approach with the naquadah reactor mounted on it. Carter is controlling the vehicle.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;AUTOPSY ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
It checks out. The same bladed weapon killed both of them. Probably the others too. A single thrust, up through the symbiote, continuing up, piercing the Jaffa's heart. He was dead before he hit the ground.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Nirrti's been working out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Not Nirrti, an Ashrak. A highly trained Goa'uld assassin of great strength and power, most likely in the service of Anubis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Wasn't it an Ashrak who was able to penetrate SGC security and try to kill Major Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed. The Ashrak succeeded in killing Jolinar, to whom Major Carter was host.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That guy wasn't invisible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
While in the service of Apophis, many Jaffa were killed in the manner Dr. Fraiser has described while working in the naquadah mines of Kawawn. Apophis ordered the mines sealed, and when the tunnels were opened days later, only a single Ashrak was found. Only one had killed so many.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Well, if he's that powerful, why didn't he just go on a killing spree?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Divide and conquer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;AREA NEAR STARGATE, DAY'''<br />
<br />
[Carter and Malek are working near the Stargate on the naquadah reactor while the rest is keeping watch]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAK'NOR<br/><br />
I wish that Bra'tac were here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, I know. Carter? Are you there yet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Almost, sir. The reactor wasn't designed for a sustained output at this frequency range.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The invisible Ashrak approaches the area around the Stargate, remaining undetected. He moves between the Jaffa, Tok'ra and SGC personnel guarding the Gate. He moves close to Pierce and hits him. Pierce falls and the Ashrak moves on to slam a Tok'ra out of his way. He then hits two Jaffa while going in a straight line towards the Gate. He manages to immobilise every one standing between him and the Gate. A Jaffa accidentally shoots a Tok'ra with his staff weapon. The Ashrak now moves away from the Gate and hits Teal'c in the face. He runs off as everyone is shooting around trying to hit him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Medics, we've got wounded out here, go to work!<br/><br />
(to Teal'c)<br/><br />
You okay?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
Colonel. I'm sorry, sir. Somehow it got my GDO during the firefight.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What?!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
It was moving in and around us, sir. At least one casualty was hit by friendly fire.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right. Re-establish a perimeter around the Gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
I'd like to take a team after it, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Negative. That's what it wants. You hold that Gate, make sure everyone has a clear line of fire. Go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
We should leave before he attempts another attack.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It took a GDO. No one's goin' anywhere.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
Colonel, you saw what he was capable&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes, I did. That's why I want all available personnel guarding that Gate. That includes Tok'ra and Jaffa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
Colonel&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(angrily)<br/><br />
Go help Carter!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Malek and Carter continue their work on the reactor]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAK'NOR<br/><br />
A true warrior would show himself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Patience, Rak'nor. As Bra'tac would have said, a Jaffa has many senses with which to fight.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Okay, Sam? Malek, how close are we?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
200 nanometres.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
That's still ultraviolet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We need to reach at least 400 to be in visual range.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
If we all perish, there'll be no one left to carry on the fight.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAK'NOR<br/><br />
The Jaffa will fight side by side with the Tok'ra. And, if need be, die side by side.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c bows his head in agreement]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Malek, what's that read?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
420 nanometres.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, we're there. Powering up 50 per cent.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter activates the reactor which begins to produce an energy field]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ooh! Anybody else feel that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The tingling sensation is caused by the energy field. It's not causing any physical damage, so there's nothing to worry about, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, I like it. It's good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
The power setting may not counteract the cloaking device, but increasing it will substantially reduce our ability to sustain the field.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Crank it up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, sir. Powering up 100 per cent.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter powers up the reactor and the figure of the Ashrak shimmers into view right in front of Carter. He hits her and she falls to the ground. He hits the humans, Jaffa and Tok'ra in the vicinity and vanishes again. O'Neill fires his P90 but the Ashrak has already become invisible again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to the men guarding the Gate)<br/><br />
Hold your positions! Carter, are we still in business?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(getting up and running back to the reactor)<br/><br />
Yes, sir, I just need to bring it back online.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Malek and Carter go back to work on the reactor]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
(to those guarding the Stargate)<br/><br />
Watch those gaps!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill reloads his P90. The invisible Ashrak again approaches Carter and Malek. He then goes near Teal'c, who senses him coming]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Rak'nor!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Rak'nor is pushed over by the Ashrak and takes Teal'c with him as he falls. O'Neill fires some rounds with his P90. He then puts down the P90]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Everybody down!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill takes out a huge machine gun and begins to fire it while carefully turning around almost 360 degrees. Everyone else is lying on the ground. Carter turns the reactor back on and then everyone starts to get back up. Suddenly the Ashrak appears on O'Neill's left. O'Neill starts to draw his knife as the Ashrak runs towards him. Suddenly, the Ashrak is hit in the back by a staff weapon blast. His cloaking device is now completely deactivated and he is fully visible. The Ashrak wavers only for a moment and then continues to run forward. He is hit a second and then a third time before he finally falls. Bra'tac is standing behind the Ashrak, looking badly hurt.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAK'NOR<br/><br />
Master Bra'tac!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Rak'nor run to Bra'tac and support him]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(into his radio)<br/><br />
Pierce, stand down. We got him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter takes Pierce's GDO from the Ashrak's arm and gives it to O'Neill]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
(to Bra'tac)<br/><br />
You're very lucky to be alive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
Indeed. This Ashrak left me for dead. I was unable to move, and do not know how long I was unconscious. My symbiote sustained me, and I returned as soon as I could.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Not bad.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bra'tac nods and smiles]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALEK<br/><br />
I owe you my life, twice over. I only hope that one day I am given the chance to repay that debt. Forgive me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Malek reaches out his arm to Bra'tac, who takes it in acknowledgement]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA'TAC<br/><br />
(taking the weapon of the Ashrak)<br/><br />
This single blade did what we could not. It has brought us together. This blade has spilled the blood of Jaffa, of the Tok'ra and of the Tauri. By the hand of our common enemy, it has made us brothers. Together, we have ensured it will never spill our blood again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bra'tac throws the blade tip first into the sand.]<br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;OFFWORLD P3X-116'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 are running for the gate pursued by two death gliders, which are bombarding them. They reach the gate and Daniel starts dialling, while the others are firing at the enemy. The gate kawooshes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(yelling)<br/><br />
Go!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel runs through the gate, followed by Carter. O'Neill and Teal'c continue to fire on the gliders, Teal'c is using a massive anti-tank type cannon. A near miss knocks O'Neill down, Teal'c goes to help him; as they look up an Alkesh rises from behind woodland. They run for the gate and O'Neill hurls himself through. Teal'c pauses, turns, and recognizes Tanith at the controls of the Alkesh. He holds off firing until the ship moves closer, then fires directly into the cockpit. With a look of satisfaction he turns and runs into the wormhole. The ship dives towards the gate, crashes and explodes.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The wormhole disengages leaving O'Neill, Daniel and Carter staring at it from the bottom of the ramp. Hammond hurries in.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Where is Teal'c?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I don't know, sir. He was right behind me.</blockquote><br />
<br />

<br />
'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond climbs the stairs to the control room followed by O'Neill, Carter and Daniel. O'Neill is holding a pad to his right temple.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Colonel, are you okay?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We've gotta go back, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond stands behind Davis, who is manning the computer.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What was your situation?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We were being pursued by gliders and an Alkesh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Teal'c was right with me. He could still be alive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(to Davis)<br/><br />
Dial P3X-116. We'll try to raise him on his radio.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Monitor shows a picture of the Stargate spinning.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Chevron 1 encoded.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, we should have a MALP standing by in case we need a visual.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(to Davis)<br/> <br />
Do it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He activates the keys.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Chevron 2...Sir. we're getting an unknown error. Should I override?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Major?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Gate feedback protocol means the system is detecting something wrong with the Stargate itself. Not our dialling computer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Chevron 4 encoded.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Like what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I don't know. It's something our computer isn't recognizing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She looks at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, what happened just before you jumped through.?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
The ship was coming right at us</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You think it could have impacted the Stargate on the other side?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And if it did?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
W...I hate to say this but if the wormhole was shut down while Teal'c was en route...</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Chevron 6 encoded...still showing an unknown error, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, we'd better abort.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(to Davis)<br/> <br />
Abort the dialling procedure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Dialling sequence aborted.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The gate spins to a stop.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond is looking at the motionless Stargate, then turns to Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
So the Tok'ra intel was right. The Goa'uld were scouting P3X-116 for a new base.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Looks that way. What the Tok'ra didn't tell us is that the Goa'uld in question is Tanith. We'd just spotted him on the ground, near his Alkesh with a small contingent of Jaffa, when the glider made our position.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
He came after you himself?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah...as you know Teal'c has this kind of thing between them...so...</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter comes up the stairs looking anxious.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, I think I know what the problem is but we have to act quickly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You know how the Stargate turns matter into energy and then transmits it through a subspace wormhole?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
That's gate travel 101.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And the gate on the receiving end is what translates the energy signature and reconverts it back into its original form.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Major!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The Stargate has massive amounts of memory inside it. It's like a computer buffer. It temporarily restores the energy patterns before it reconverts them into matter. Now it does this to make sure it has all the information before it reassembles the object - or in our case, person.The error we're receiving from the gate seems to indicate there's still an energy pattern stored in the memory buffer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Teal'c?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
If the Alkesh crashed into the DHD on the other planet it would have cut off power to the outgoing gate. Then the wormhole would have been severed prematurely. Now if that happened before our gate was able to reconvert Teal'c's energy signature back into matter...</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Teal'c is in our Stargate?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
His energy signature, yes. Stored in the memory.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, let's get him out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Right now..I..I'm not sure how...that's not the worst problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
There's worse?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The Stargate has various safety protocols designed to prevent different energy signatures mixing together. and it does this by erasing a memory buffer anytime any wormhole is established. It's like an overall system reset. So, if we try dialling out of our gate or somebody off world tries dialling in ...</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
We have eight teams currently on missions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Teal'c's signature will be erased... permanently.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
How do we get our people home?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
When the Russians had their DHD connected to their gate it became the dominant gate on Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Exactly. All incoming wormholes automatically went there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I'll call the President.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'll go find out how long we have before the next SG teams are back. </blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Siler and his team are working on moving the iris. ]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond is on the red phone to the President]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Yes, sir. We have 8 teams off world we have to get home. It's a temporary situation we hope to have resolved as quickly as possible... Thank you, sir, I'll get our best man, for the job, on a plane right away.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The next team due to check in is SG5. They have a scheduled report at 1600 hours.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Less than an hour from now. Will the iris be in place?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They're working as fast as they can.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
The best man I was talking about is you. We need a liaison in Russia to coordinate our interests. Pack a bag. You leave in half an hour.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is working at the computer. O'Neill approaches. ]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir! You Okay?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, couple of stitches, concussion, nausea, dizziness ... the usual. Why is Teal'c still in the gate?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, Sir... it's very complicated.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Can I help?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well... in order to overcome the lack of a DHD we have to create the proper interface between the Gate and our computer. We generated a series of instructions based on electrical impulses to which the Gate crystals would respond. Now these were found mostly by trial and error over a great deal of time. What we need to do now is find a series of impulses which would instruct the Gate to override one of its primary functions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Can I get you some coffee?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, the truth is, the Gate may not even be capable of doing what we need it to do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Which is what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Resume a reintegration process which was cut off prematurely.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter! My head!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir - I'm sorry; but the more I go through this, the more I'm becoming concerned that we may not even be able to get Teal'c back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh...</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;RUSSIA, RED SQUARE'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OFFICIAL BUILDING'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel and Major Davis are led into the Russian Colonel's office. The Colonel comes forward to shake their hands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLONEL<br/><br />
Zdravtsvitye, Major Davis. Dr Jackson. </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLONEL<br/><br />
I trust you had a pleasant trip?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
As possible under the circumstances.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLONEL<br/><br />
Yes, yes. An unfortunate problem. Please...</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He waves them to a table. They sit.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLONEL<br/><br />
The details made available to me were somewhat vague. Only that a technical glitch has somehow trapped a member of your team inside the inner workings of your Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
That's pretty much all we know at the moment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLONEL<br/><br />
Then it seem we are not the only ones who are incapable of handing every situation, the Stargate may present, after all.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
What is the current status of our off world teams?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLONEL<br/><br />
All of them have been contacted successfully. SG-5 and SG-8 have already arrived safely.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We do appreciate what you're doing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLONEL<br/><br />
Despite appearances, our participation in this effort is not one of good faith, Doctor Jackson. The Russian military is not here to do your bidding.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I wasn't suggesting you were.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLONEL<br/><br />
Your Government seems to think it can dictate protocol in all matters regarding Stargate technology.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Our Governments have a deal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLONEL<br/><br />
One which has been blatantly ignored by both sides, wouldn't you agree?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
It is technically and logistically impossible to run concurrent Stargate programs, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLONEL<br/><br />
By the sounds of it, it may be impossible not to, Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;COMMISSARY SGC'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill is sitting at a table with his head in his arms. Hammond approaches, and sits opposite him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill doesn't move, Hammond touches his arm.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill raises his head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Go home.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, I'm all right, sir. Just got five minutes of quality sleep.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Everything that can be done is being done.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You know, this wouldn't have happened if he'd just followed orders. It's that damned Jaffa revenge thing...</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Get some rest, Colonel. That's an order.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond leaves, and O'Neill puts his head down again.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond comes into the briefing room, surprised to see Colonel Simmons, Doctor McKay and Major Carter there.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Colonel Simmons?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Hallo, General. I was just introducing Doctor McKay and Major Carter. The doctor has been studying the Stargate program out of Area 51 for over a year now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Without access to a working gate?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
(smugly)<br/><br />
I had a virtual computer model that was built when the second gate was there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Well I'm sure it's a thrill to be here to see the real thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
(dismissively)<br/> <br />
Hah! Not really.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
The Pentagon feels Doctor McKay has become the foremost expert on the Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Next to Major Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
With all due respects, Major. You spend most of your time in the field.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(impatiently)<br/><br />
Major Carter spent 2 years working on the gate prior to her 5 years at the SGC. She's the one that made this program viable.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
Actually the interface she designed is full of flaws.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, I admit it's not perfect but it's certa...</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
(interrupting rudely)<br/><br />
It has caused numerous unnecessary situations, any of which could have ended in catastrophe.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
And we certainly don't want that to happen. That's why the doctor's here to help.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Good. He can report to Major Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
And the two of them might be able to work together to solve this problem. To get Teal'c back in one piece. In the time allotted.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Excuse me? In the time allotted?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
48 hours.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(aghast, to Hammond)<br/><br />
Sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(barely containing his anger)<br/><br />
Come with me,Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond leads Simmons out of the room.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond curtly waves Simmons into his office, and leans aggressively on his desk, as the Colonel throws himself into a chair.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(outraged)<br/><br />
I don't know who you are, or who you work for.You do not come into my facility and dictate procedures to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Oh, General. Don't shoot the messenger. I'm just bringing you your orders.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Teal'c is an invaluable asset. Without him you might very well not be sitting there supposedly representing your country.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Well, we're aware of his contributions as well as his questionable allegiances. Now, in this operation we have lost a lot of good Americans. You're not going to tell me you hold Teal'c's life above one of our own people, are you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Teal'c is one our own people and his life is not lost yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Maybe not. But my sources tell me that all the off world teams are home safe. Now, the Pentagon is not willing to deal with the Russians over the long term. And, in the past, you yourself have made a case for keeping SGC alive and running at all costs. So...</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He gestures to Carter and McKay, through the window.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
...these people are going to have to come up with a solution in the next 2 days or you will be ordered to resume sending teams through the gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;RUSSIAN COLONEL'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLONEL<br/><br />
All of your teams have arrived safely, that is why we agreed to help you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Now all we need to do is to send more teams off world, on a sort of fact finding mission. where our off world allies may know the way to save Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLONEL<br/><br />
Your off world allies?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Allies of Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLONEL<br/><br />
(impatiently)<br/><br />
As long as our gate is connected, Doctor Jackson, we, as in 'the Russian People,'are vulnerable to attack.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
We are here to ensure the orders agreed upon by our respective leaders are carried out. We are not here to negotiate with you, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLONEL<br/><br />
(ranting)<br/><br />
On the contrary, Major, that is exactly why you're here. The deal, so unwisely made by our Government ,requires us to cease our operations of the Stargate. Not make it available to you whenever you deem it necessary. If you wish to continue to use our technology you must finally present us with something of significant value in return.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;COLORADO SPRINGS'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill leaves a store and sees Maybourne peering at him from behind his truck.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Hi, Jack.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill chases him round the truck]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You rat bastard.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Maybourne dodges]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Hey, hey, hey! Take it easy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm so gonna kick your ass.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
There're people watching.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I don't care.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
It wasn't me. I didn't shoot you, Jack.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I trusted you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Come on. Would I come back here like this if I'd done it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You might.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
I swear, Jack.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, who did?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
I don't know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What do you know?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Just what I read in the NID files. That you got shot and the Goa'uld escaped.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You came all the way back to Colorado Springs to tell me you didn't do it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
I didn't think you'd believe me any other way. And I wanted to warn you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
About what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
I heard about Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What about him?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
I hope you get him back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And the warning part?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Watch out for Frank Simmons.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Simmons again. What is it with you guys?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
We go back. I don't know what he's up to but I guarantee it's not gonna be good for Teal'c or the SGC.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Great!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
I'll be in town for a couple of days. I'd like to see how it turns out. If you need me I'm at the Accent Inn. I'm checked in under the name of Cassidy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
David or Shaun?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Maybourne walks away grinning]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
No...Butch!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(calling after him)<br/><br />
You know Simmons says you're the one who sullied the good name of the NID.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Maybourne walks back]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
You believe that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(after a long pause)<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Trust me, Jack. I know him well. I'm the one who recruited him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CARTER'S LAB'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is keying in to the computer when McKay walks in.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Doctor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
I guess that we got off on the wrong foot.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What probability factor did you use figuring that out?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
For the record I don't work for Colonel Simmons.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What difference does that make?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
Well, I sensed...a little... tension... there. I'm on the Airforce payroll, I report directly to the Chiefs of Staff.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh, well. That changes everything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
I just...er...wanted to give you my honest analysis, Major. It is a waste of time to assume you're right about everything. I just thought we'd get past that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Leaving more time to devote to your fan club.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
The gate wasn't meant to be used without a dialling device. Your computer system ignores 220 of the 400 feedback signals the gate can emit during any given dialling sequence. It is a fluke that you picked up the buffer one, and for that matter, I'm surprised that you even bothered aborting a dialling sequence, despite the error.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What is that supposed to mean?</blockquote><br />

(talking on phone)<br/><br />
Hey, Sam. We've got the Russians to agree to send one team out. SG5 contacted the Tok'ra... they just got back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What did they say?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They said the glitch probably occurred because we didn't have a DHD. Said a local DHD would compensate for the loss of power and allow the gate to finish the reintegration process.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, if the DHD could have prevented the problem maybe the DHD can also fix it. Is there any chance we can get the Russians to give us their DHD?</blockquote><br />
<br />

(shakes his head at Davis)<br/><br />
That is impossible at the moment.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That bad, huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />

Yeah! Besides the Tok'ra warned us that connecting a DHD might not be the way to get Teal'c out of the memory.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>COLONEL<br/><br />
(ranting)<br/><br />
Russia will not stand by and allow you to operate your program without our direct involvement.We demand that a Russian team be permanently stationed at your base. That all mission files should go to our onsite officer. And that all technologies procured and developed as a result of Stargate travel - past, present and future - will be shared equally.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Or what? We already know your government has no interest in running it's own program.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Through legitimate NID operations.

<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Wouldn't that be stupid.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
The situation with Teal'c provided Simmons with a unique opportunity but the Pentagon's deadline didn't give him much time. Besides the NID flight plans are classified information. And there aren't many people who would know the current locations of every NID safehouse in the country. You just happen to be lucky enough to know one of the people who does.</blockquote><br />

There's no switch. The crystals are wiped clean by an unstable vortex of a forming wormhole. Any idea how much excess energy one of those blasts give off?</blockquote><br />
<br />

As a matter of fact, I do. Now what we need to do is find a way to establishing an event horizon without the vortex.</blockquote><br />

'S impossible.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
Starving! Shockingly this is even worse than it looks. It beats a hypoglycaemic reaction.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The event horizon is what dematerializes you and sends you into the wormhole. And maybe we don't need to connect to a wormhole to form an event horizon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
Maybe. Somehow. Somewhere.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
All we need to do is get the rematerialization process to work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
Major, even if you managed to create a viable event horizon without connecting to a wormhole, you'd never get the gate to reintegrate Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Why not?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
The crystals that retain the energy pattern before reintegration are not like magnetic hard drives.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I know, they're crystals.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
But you can't just ignore the laws of thermodynamics. Entropy dictates that the crystals won't retain their energy patterns permanently. I've measured it. It's what's called quantitative evidence.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I think the energy itself is unimportant past its initial imprint on the crystals.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
And this fantasy is based on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I suspect the gate is storing its ones and zeros on a subatomic level within the structure of the crystals. So even though the energy is dissipating, the most recent pattern still exists.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
You suspect?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We're dealing with a level of quantum physics here that is way beyond us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
More than a third of the energy pattern the gate required, to reintegrate Teal'c, has almost gone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I don't think so.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
You're guessing wildly, like you always do. Maybe you could find a way to fool the gate with reintegrating whatever it has stored in the memory. But I say you won't like what comes out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, we'll see.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
Major, Teal'c is dead, and this argument is a waste of time, because the Pentagon is gonna order Hammond to resume operations in what...<br/><br />
(looks at his watch)<br/> <br />
...sixteen hours.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's where they came up with the forty-eight hour deadline, isn't it! You told them Teal'c would already be dead!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
That's why it's called a deadline.</blockquote><br />
<br />

(Getting up in anger)<br/><br />

My only other choice is to resign. If I resign I'll have no control over who will be running this facility an hour from now. Is that enough time?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Tell me what else I can do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I can't, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-2 start lining up to go through the Stargate]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond walks into the control room, where Simmons stands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(to Davis)<br/><br />
Dial the gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Davis, manning the computer, activates the keys. ]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[As Carter watches the gate spinning, a female officer approaches her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OFFICER<br/><br />
Major. There's a call for you from Colonel O'Neill. He says it's urgent.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter hurries down the stairs to Hammond.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Chevron 5 encoded.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, you have to abort.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Stand down, Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, Colonel O'Neill has obtained the information we need to save Teal'c...</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Chevron 6 encoded.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
...And he has evidence that will incriminate Colonel Simmons.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Hah. He's lying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(to Davis)<br/><br />
Abort the dialling sequence. Airman.<br/><br />
(to a nearby airman)<br/><br />
Arrest Colonel Simmons.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
This is preposterous.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Simmons pulls away from the airman.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Take him away. If he resists, shoot him!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond, O'Neill, Carter and McKay watch the video as Conrad explains to Simmons.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CONRAD<br/><br />
You have to remove the master control crystal before you attach the DHD. Otherwise the imprint will be erased.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond switches off the video.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
That's a joke. He's joking.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Major?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, theoretically...</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
Are you insane? He's a Goa'uld. He wants you to destroy yourselves. If you remove the master control crystal there is nothing to regulate the energy distribution. You get stray current going in the wrong conduit, the whole gate could explode.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to Carter)<br/><br />
That true?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, technically it's possible, sir. The gate is a very powerful superconductor. But we could take steps to ensure...</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
You are a certifiable wack job. And...<br/><br />
(to Hammond)<br/> <br />
you're no better if you listen to her. It's a wild guess. Her judgement is being clouded by her personal feelings. Teal'c is toast, he's history. </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, I think we could make sure the risk was very small.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
You try this harebrained scheme and you blow yourselves up - for nothing. No way I'm hanging around for that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Your plane leaves for Russia in an hour, Doctor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
W..w...Russia?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Your new assignment is to supervise the development of Russia's naquadah generator program.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
I'm not going to Russia. You know what the food is like in Russia? Besides I'm a civilian. I don't have to do what you say.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, as long as you're on the Air Force payroll.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>McKAY<br/><br />
This ...this really sucks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[McKay hurries out.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Major. Do what you have to.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter, Siler and his team work on the DHD. Siler hands the crystal to Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SILER<br/><br />
Okay, Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks up at the control room window where Hammond, O'Neill, Daniel and the Russian Colonel are standing.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to Hammond)<br/><br />
Sir. Master control crystal's been removed. We're ready to connect the DHD.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(into microphone)<br/><br />
Base has been evacuated of all non-essential personnel. You can proceed, Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(leans into microphone and calls to Carter)<br/><br />
Hey. You sure you want to be in there for this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SILER<br/><br />
Not really, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I wasn't talking to you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir. If the gate blows up it won't matter where we are on the base.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(to Russian Colonel)<br/><br />
Not too late to change your mind about leaving.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLONEL<br/><br />
(sighing)<br/><br />
I will stay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to Siler)<br/><br />
Do it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Siler turns the switch that activates the gate. The gate spins but with much electrical sparking. It stops and the event horizon, instead of kawooshing, flares brightly. Teal'c stumbles out onto the ramp. The sparking races around the gate, runs down the ramp to the DHD. The DHD explodes, knocking Siler off his feet.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(to Russian Colonel)<br/><br />
Well, that never happened in any of the simulations.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond and O'Neill enter. O'Neill puts his hand on Siler's shoulder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Shake it off, Sparky.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill mounts the ramp, followed by Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Teal'c, buddy. You alright?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Teal'c, as far you know what just happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I have my revenge, Tanith is dead!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill claps him on the shoulder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's nice. I'm happy for you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's good to see you in one piece.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes, we thought we lost you, again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Are you sure you're feeling perfectly normal?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Yes. What has transpired here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, believe it or not you owe your life to a Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Never!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''FADE IN'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOICE-OVER<br/><br />
Previously, on Stargate SG-1.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Scenes from "Menace", Season 5.]<br />
<br />
[Replicators are overrunning the SGC.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Reese, your father made you wrong!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REESE<br/><br />
No!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The door to the gateroom falls to the ground with a clang and O'Neill enters, shooting Reese.]<br />
<br />
[Scene from "Revelations", Season 5.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FREYR<br/><br />
If, as you say, this android was responsible for creating the first generation of Replicators, it may well prove invaluable.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Scenes from "Prometheus", Season 6.]<br />
<br />
[The X-303 rises up out of the ground.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAJOR DAVIS<br/><br />
(to O'Neill and Teal'c)<br/><br />
The radar system on the X-303 is still incomplete. Fly into the lower bay, they'll never see you coming!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Shot of the X-303 in space as a smaller ship approaches.]<br />
<br />
[Someone shoots the "traitors" on the X-303 with a zat as Carter looks on.]<br />
<br />
[The X-303 disappears into hyperspace.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I have no idea where we are. I can't plot a course for home.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Thor's ship appears.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's the Asgard.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Thor appears on the bridge of the X-303 in his chair.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Can you help us out here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
It is we who need your help. The Asgard homeworld has been overrun by the Replicators.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''END FLASHBACKS'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SHOT OF THE X-303 AND THOR'S SHIP IN SPACE'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;X-303 BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Are you serious?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Very.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
This ship you need, this brand new ship&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So new it doesn't have a name yet. It's not even finished.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I think that's the point, sir. The more low-tech, the better.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Correct, Major Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
It certainly defies conventional wisdom.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Mine, too.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
The Replicators will not wish to integrate such vastly inferior technology into their own.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Then&hellip; what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
A task for which you are uniquely suited.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You need someone dumb enough.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
On the contrary, it is both your physical prowess and military expertise that are required.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, don't get me wrong, flattery goes a long way with me. But, if you're going where I think you're going with this&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
When it became clear to the Asgard High Council that the war with the Replicators could not be won, a plan was devised, a trap was set. One made possible by you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
By us?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
The android Reese that you discovered and provided to us for study retained a single core command in her base programming which we believed all Replicators would still follow.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Then, you were able to reactivate her?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
No. The android was damaged beyond repair. However, the key command was activated within her neural network, amplified, and broadcast through subspace throughout the known universe.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What was the command?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
To come forth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
You instructed every Replicator out there to come to you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I have a theory why you lost the war.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
The command was only given once the trap was set.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
What was the trap?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
A time dilation device generating a field radius of point one six light years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Wow, that's some trap. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They created a bubble in space around the Replicators within which time was slowed down by a factor of&hellip;?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Ten to the fourth power.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Relatively speaking, sir, one year to the Replicators would be about ten thousand years to the rest of us. An hour would be over a year, a day would&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I get it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The point is, if the plan had worked, it would have effectively bottled the Replicators up in one place, and bought the Asgard thousands of years to solve the problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, the point is, it didn't work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
O'Neill is correct. Our plan failed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
What went wrong?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
We do not know. The time dilation device was constructed within a very old structure on Hala, the first planet settled by the Asgard. The device was encased in a solid neutronium shell, and set with a time delay sufficient to evacuate our entire civilization.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Well, however strong neutronium is, wouldn't the Replicators be able to eat through it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Eventually, yes. But not in sufficient time before the device activated. This calculation was made with considerable margin for error. When the time came, nothing happened.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So, somehow the Replicators must have gotten to the time dilation device before it could activate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
That appears to be the only explanation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So, what do you want us to do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Fly your ship through Replicator-dominated space, repair whatever damage may have been done to the time dilation device, and activate it before the Replicators can stop you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Thor in disbelief.]<br />

<br />
'''INT&mdash;X-303 COMMAND DECK'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Thor, buddy, there's no way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
The Replicators will soon consume all that they can within our home galaxy. Yours will be next.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I thought we were too primitive to consume.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Your technology would not immediately attract the Replicators, but they would eventually be drawn to the raw materials of which your civilization is built. Your extinction will be assured.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
For that matter, so would every other world we've visited. It's just a matter of time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Did all of the Asgard manage to escape?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Most, but not all. A great battle was fought. The evacuation fleet is standing by in the void between our two galaxies, waiting to hear word of your response.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
My response?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
We have done all that we can and failed, O'Neill. You and your team represent our last hope.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, great, so, no pressure, right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He stands up and approaches Thor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
If you have in fact made your decision not to undertake this task, I will inform the Council.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Just&hellip; give me a minute here, okay?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Are you reconsidering, O'Neill?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm considering reconsidering.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Well, there has to be other options.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
We believe there is no alternative plan of action.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Thor, I don't think you realize what you're asking us to do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
In the past, your projectile weapons have been most effective.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, well, we don't have any projectile weapons with us at the moment, and according to Carter, we're a long way from&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Thor moves a control device on the board attached to his chair, and Earth suddenly appears on the viewscreen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
&hellip;home.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You towed us back into Earth's orbit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Correct, Major Carter. The contents of your armory at Stargate Command, along with appropriate attire, food, and other supplies you may require are now being transported aboard this vessel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I hope you did the paperwork.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Wait a minute, we have a few passengers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
They are being transported to Stargate Command.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I haven't said yes, yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
But you are reconsidering.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm&hellip; leaning in the general direction.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Thor moves another control device, and Earth suddenly disappears from the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey, what are you doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We're leaving the solar system.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Thor, little fella, I&hellip; that's not the way it works. It's not my ship. It's not up to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
The journey to our home galaxy will take many hours with your vessel in tow. You may consult your superiors en route.</blockquote><br />
<br />

[Alarm klaxons are sounding as Hammond enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Sergeant?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SILER<br/><br />
I can't explain it, sir. It's like everything in the armory just disappeared - P90s, SPAS 12s, SAWs, Claymores, everything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SGT. DAVIS<br/><br />
Sir, four of the people who commandeered the X-303 just appeared out of thin air in the holding room. Air Force personnel, a reporter, just beamed into the cafeteria kitchen up on level twenty-two. Half the food stores went missing at the same time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
You're certain the stargate's been inactive?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SGT. DAVIS<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What in God's name is happening?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A hologram of O'Neill suddenly appears.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hello, sir, Siler.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Colonel, it's good to see you alive and well. We were concerned the X-303 was lost with all hands.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, sir, we're all fine. Except for the Goa'uld, and Simmons, of course.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
So, you were rescued by the Asgard.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Actually, it kinda looks like we'll be coming to their rescue, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Does this have anything to do with the supplies and equipment that are disappearing from all over my base?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes, sir. Suffice to say you might want to get upstairs and punch one on the old speed dial.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
My grandchildren?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Two, then. I think the president might want to know what the Asgard have in mind for our new ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;X-303 BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is working at a console as O'Neill enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
They didn't go for it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They didn't approve the mission?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, they did that, once they knew the stakes and the whole "fate of the universe" stuff. Both the president and Hammond realized we have no choice. He sends good luck, godspeed, and all those things he says when he thinks we're going to die.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So, what didn't they go for?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
The name I suggested.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
For the ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah. Sir, we can't call it the <i>Enterprise</i>.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why not?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The code name for the project is <i>Prometheus</i>. What’s wrong with that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It’s a Greek tragedy. Who wants that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Okay. The X-303 it is, then.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He looks at the device she's been working on.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What have you got there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, the Asgard surmised that the Replicators probably disabled the time dilation device by destroying the control interface mechanism.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Uh-huh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, it’s really not much more than an advanced timer. But, since any Asgard technology we took along would cause the Replicators to swarm all over us, Thor had a facsimile of their interface built from Earth-based materials. It’ll work just as well as the original, but it shouldn’t attract the Replicators.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You guys trying to make yourselves sick?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Well, Thor forgot to take the need for refrigeration into account, so we figured we’d start with the frozen stuff. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He takes another spoonful.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
This is good. Mmmm.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I’ll buy that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He sits down on a crate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So, Jonas, first time going up against a Replicator, eh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Um-hmm.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill tries to eat some of Teal’c’s ice cream. Teal'c pulls his carton out of reach, giving O'Neill a different one instead.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
I think I have a pretty good idea of what to expect, though. Teal’c told me all about them and I have everything Dr. Jackson wrote. They’re fascinating.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Fascinating?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Yeah. Well, think about it. We have a human scientist who creates this android girl, who then goes on to create these Replicators as a toy. Well, at least the concept of something that starts out so innocent becomes so evil, that’s got to be fascinating to you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Replicators exist merely to increase their numbers and do so without prejudice. They are no more evil that a virus.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
A really evil virus.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Well, yes, we can all agree that any living thing that isn’t inherently evil in and of itself is capable of undertaking actions that are evil.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal’c swaps his ice cream for O'Neill’s.]<br />
<br />

<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We just came out of hyperspace a minute ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
We dare proceed no further without risk of engaging the Replicators. You will have to continue from this point under your own ship's power.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
But you’re gonna wait here for us, right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
There is now another concern. Our long-range sensors have discovered that the time dilation device was indeed activated.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, that’s good.<br/><br />
(pause)<br/><br />
It’s not good?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Time is now progressing faster within the field.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They reversed it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
By a factor of ten squared.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What is with you people? Time machines are nothing but trouble, even we know that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Clearly, the Replicators have discovered a means of utilizing the time dilation machine to serve their own purpose.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Well, what would that purpose be?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, I gotta tell you, this changes things.<br/><br />
(pause)<br/><br />
Carter, how does this change things?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I don’t know, sir. I guess it doesn’t.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You mean we’ve got the same problem we had an hour ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, the difference is, in that hour, four days have passed for the Replicators. Depending on when they did this, relatively speaking, they could have experienced hundreds of years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I get it.</blockquote><br />
<br />

<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, no. Full well expected the other shoe to drop eventually.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
We can only hope that this will be the last footwear to fall. The coordinates to the planet have already been programmed into your navigational computer. We have modified your engines and structural integrity fields to their maximum potential to assure your safe arrival. We will monitor your progress as best we can. Good Luck.</blockquote><br />

Probably more than one layer, and who knows how thick it is. Maybe miles.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Why would that be?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, it could be a by-product of the reverse time dilation. In relative time, they’ve been here hundreds of years, but there’s nothing left here to consume so they’re just conserving energy.</blockquote><br />

What do you think you're doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Clocks are running a little fast around here. Thought we’d stop by, wind ‘em. We’ll be on our way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
Your companion is attempting to alter the settings on the time device, and we cannot allow that. If she does not stop immediately, we will be forced to take action.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, now, if you do that, we might be forced to take our own action.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Tell your companion to stop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter, how much time you need there?</blockquote><br />
<br />

A lot, sir. Maybe a few hours.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hours?</blockquote><br />
<br />

Sir, the interface was completely rebuilt. I’m not even sure where to start.</blockquote><br />

Couldn’t you crank it up a little bit? Move things along?</blockquote><br />

It doesn’t work that way, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
(laughs)<br/><br />
Ironic, isn’t it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Who are you people? Because, if you haven’t noticed, this entire planet is paved with Replicators.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
We are aware of this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Then you should also know that these things have taken millions of lives, and they’ll keep on doing that unless we stop them.</blockquote><br />

<br />
[He holds out his hand to O'Neill, who ignores it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
Colonel, if we really intended you harm, do you believe you would be standing there? As I said, welcome.</blockquote><br />

Don’t you?</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, you wanna let him know we’ve made other plans?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
Exploding your vessel would only serve to feed energy to the Replicator blocks on the surface of the planet. Your food stores have already been taken to the temple.</blockquote><br />

So, what do we do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Can we leave?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The ship will fly, but I don’t know how far we’ll get. Sir, if this really is the next evolution of the Replicators, we should find out as much as possible about them and try to report it back somehow.</blockquote><br />

When our Replicator brethren discovered the android Reese, they realized she was their creator. They studied her design and form and found aspects of her technology superior to their own.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SECOND<br/><br />
Our brethren are composed of ungainly blocks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THIRD<br/><br />
We are composed of millions of cell units, microscopic in comparison, that combine to create this form.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Like nanites, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I hate those things.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
My creation took place in the last moment before the Asgard time device was to activate. There was a miniscule crack in the neutronium shell. I could penetrate this where my Replicator brethren could not. I managed to stop the machine before it activated and eventually used it to suit our purpose.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Which is?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
To increase our number. That has never changed. And now, thanks to the Asgard, we have all the time in the world. In a few short years, we will go forth as an army.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, see, we can’t you do that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SECOND<br/><br />
You cannot stop us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
Was it not in the same way that you became the dominant species of your world? Is it not a process of natural selection? The strong survive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Yeah, but there’s nothing truly natural about you. I mean, you’ve seen into our minds, I’m quite certain that you can all tell the difference.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
Of course. We are far superior. And if you could see into the mind of an animal you would blindly feed upon, you would reach the same conclusion.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It was our kind that built your creator. You created yourselves in our image.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FOURTH<br/><br />
No. In the image of Reese.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, now see, there was something wrong with her programming, you all know that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
The flaw in the emulation programming was discovered during my creation. Eat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You know, I think that flaw’s kinda hanging on there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
We attempted to correct the error in the creation of Fifth. But thus far, he has proven to be far too&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Human?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
Weak.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Maybe Fifth represents what you’re supposed to be.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
No. We won’t make the same mistake again. Now, you have your answers, eat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Why?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
To regain your strength.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why do you care?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
So you’ll be strong enough.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
For what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
To go into your minds over and over.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
Could there be any other reason we would keep you alive?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A Replicator bug drops down onto the table, and others start climbing down the walls.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Crap!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
It will be far less painful if you don’t resist.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Fifth stands up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
Stop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Replicators move away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
Why?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
You’ve learned everything you need to know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[First stands, and approaches Fifth.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
There are four minds to explore at least once. And Sixth is very curious to experience their thoughts. And you, you haven’t yet had your chance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
I insist. I want you to see the disorder, the chaos, recognize what they are in comparison. You need to understand what you are. Visit their memories of worlds we will conquer. Do you understand?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I won’t blame you if you choose me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It’s all right, sir. Last time I didn’t remember a thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She gets up and walks over to Fifth. He places his hands on the sides of her face, and leans forward until his forehead touches hers.].<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;FIFTH'S UNCONSCIOUS MIND'''<br />
<br />
[Fifth and Carter are standing in a desolate landscape, with heavy cloud cover and lightning flashes like the planet.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I don’t know what you’re showing me, but it’s not my unconscious mind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
No, Major Carter. It is mine. We share much of our thought, in this way we are connected even with our Replicator brethren. But this corner of my mind is mine alone. It is the only place we could communicate without the others knowing what is said.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You’re not like them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
I’m a mistake.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, they are. A terrible mistake. Help us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
I can’t.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You can. Because you’re more like us than you’re like them. The others inherited the same flaw that Reese had. But you&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
The others would destroy me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Not if you came with us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
You would do that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
If you were to come with us, and the time dilation device was reset with the new interface we brought with us&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
They are my brothers and sisters.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The Asgard device was never designed to destroy the Replicators. For them, it would seem like a few days had passed. We’d have hundreds of years to solve their flaw.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
What do you want me to do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;THE STRUCTURE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter wakes up to find herself lying on the floor. She gets up and goes to O'Neill, who is also on the floor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir? Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, that’s just not right. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He notices Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Jonas and Teal’c?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Everyone stands up, including O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, there’s a way out of this but we’re gonna have to trust&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Major Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Fifth is working on the time dilation device. He turns and faces them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
I have made the necessary adjustments.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
To what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
The time dilation device. I’m coming with you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I assume this was what you were gonna tell me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
The others are merging with our brethren, sharing what they have learned from you, but they will return soon. I have reconfigured the device, but you must enter your command code.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter goes to the device.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You guys head back to the ship. Don’t fire up the engines, but be ready.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal’c and Jonas leave.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
My code is in, sir, I just need to set the timer. It’ll take at least two minutes at a dead run for us to get to the ship, and two more for the engines to fire up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
That is far too long. If I leave, the others will know. They will return before the device activates.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Then we set it off now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
No. We will be trapped with the others.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You can probably make it to the ship at lot faster than we can, right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
Oh yes, in a fraction of the time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Give us a head start. If you arrive at the ship just before we launch, your absence won’t alert the others until it’s too late for them to do anything about it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So, set the timer for five minutes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He signals privately for Carter to make it three minutes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's cutting it awfully close, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I know that, Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to Fifth)<br/><br />
Thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
You won’t leave without me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No. Head for the ship in a little over three minutes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She enters the time on the device.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Three, two, one, mark. Timer’s running.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and O'Neill leave.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;X-303 BRIDGE'''<br />

<br />
[O'Neill and Carter run towards the X-303.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;X-303 BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(over the radio)<br/><br />
Fire up those engines, now!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Understood, O’Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;THE STRUCTURE'''<br />
<br />
[Fifth turns to leave, and runs into First.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
What have you done?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
Nothing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
Where are the humans?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
They’ve returned to their ship to rest.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
They’re trying to escape.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
Even as we speak, they’re preparing to leave.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
But, she promised.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
It’s not too late. I can read your mind. There’s time enough to stop the machine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;X-303 BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Carter enter and take their seats.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
How long?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Twenty seconds before the device activates.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Get this thing in the air or we’re gonna be here a long time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal’c hits a button and they lift off.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;THE STRUCTURE'''<br />
<br />
[Replicator bugs screech as they enter the room where First and Fifth are arguing.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
They’re escaping.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
There’s still two minutes left.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
No, my son. They made a fool of you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
They won’t leave me. She promised.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He reaches for the timer and flips it up. There are only three seconds left.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
She promised.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The device activates, and everything appears to freeze as time slows down.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SCENE OF THE X-303 LEAVING THE PLANET'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;X-303 BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We are beyond the time dilation field.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Thor sends his congratulations, sir. They’ll rendezvous with us as soon as they’ve determined no Replicator vessels escaped.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Fine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
You do realize what you did?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
The right thing, Jonas.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
You used his humanity against him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
His what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Jonas is right. It’s exactly what we did.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
He wasn’t human. Get that through your heads.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You could have fooled me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We all know what would have happened if those things had gotten out. Who’s gonna stop them? We did the right thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
I hope you’re right, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So do I.</blockquote><br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''PREVIOUSLY ON STARGATE SG-1'''<br />
<br />
[Flashbacks from "Unnatural Selection" Season 6.]<br />
<br />
[Image of four advanced human-form Replicators.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Who are you people?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIRST<br/><br />
We are Replicators</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
The others would destroy me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Not if you came with us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
You would do that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Flashbacks from "New Order Part 1" Season 8.]<br />
<br />
[Teal'c fires on a number of replicators. Carter is enveloped in a bright light.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Major Carter was beamed away.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
The replicators must have her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Fifth appears out of a wall, surprising Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
I imagine you never expected to see me again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Flashbacks from "New Order Part 2" Season 8.]<br />
<br />
[A number of insect replicators swarm around O'Neill, Daniel and Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I know who you are, I just don't understand why.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FIFTH<br/><br />
Because I love you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks shocked.]<br />
<br />
[O'Neill picks up the disrupter weapon which he created and activates it. The replicator disintegrates.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You know why my friends won't stop, just to save me? Because they know when it comes right down to it I would rather be dead than be trapped like this forever.</blockquote> <br />
<br />
[The replicator ship takes off, watched by Daniel, O'Neill and Teal'c. It enters a wormhole and disappears from sight.]<br />
<br />
[Replicator bugs are working at one of the walls. A human-like figure steps out of the wall, covered in a gel-like substance. Fifth steps back as the naked figure steps up to him. The figure is a likeness of Carter.] <br />
<br />
[End flashbacks.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel and Carter walk around a corner.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So, what's the word?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, the test flights were successful. The new Asgard hyper-drive is ready to go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
When are they leaving?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They're stocking the ship and picking the crew right now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel clears his throat as Carter smiles at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You really want to go, don't you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It's Atlantis. It's&hellip; everything we've been working for for seven and a half years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I know what you mean.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel swipes a card down an access panel at an elevator.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Unfortunately, I think General O'Neill has other ideas.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Let me guess, he says he needs you here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
His exact words were, "Over my dead body." But, I was actually talking about the three of us, you, me and Teal'c. He might be persuaded to let one of us go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And you'd be okay if that was me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel steps into the elevator.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Of course, Daniel. You are the expert on the Ancients.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel nods as the elevator doors close. Alarms start to sound.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PA SYSTEM<br/><br />
Unscheduled off world activation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns and heads up the stairs to the Control Room.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill comes down the stairs into the Control Room and meets Carter at the bottom of the stairs. They walk to Harriman who is sitting at one of the monitors.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What have you got there, Walter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
Receiving IDC.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The monitor shows "Invalid Signal."]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
It doesn't clear.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Why not?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
Looks like it's an old one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Missing SG personnel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
Negative.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The monitor shows "SG-1 Code Expired."]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
It looks like it's yours, ma'am. Or at least, it was. It's been invalid for four months. Receiving text message.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The monitor shows "Send M.A.L.P." O'Neill raises his eyebrows at the message.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, I think we'd better check this out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to Harriman)<br/><br />
Prepare a MALP.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The Stargate starts to turn as Siler walks towards a MALP.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter and Harriman are at the monitors, with O'Neill and Teal'c standing behind them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
What do we know of this gate address?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Nothing, other than the fact it's on the outer edge of our galaxy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
Chevron seven locked.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The event horizon whooshes out into the gate room.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
Outgoing wormhole established.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Siler?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Siler turns to look up at the Control room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SILER<br/><br />
MALP is prepped and ready to go, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to Carter)<br/><br />
Go ahead.</blockquote><br />

'''INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The MALP makes its way up the ramp and through the Stargate.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
MALP is on route&hellip; MALP has reached its destination.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter's monitor shows nothing, only black.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We are receiving MALP telemetry, sir. Signal is five by five.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Video's working fine, there's just nothing to see.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Switching to IR.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A dim shadow appears on the screen, walking closer to the MALP.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Wait a second&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What's that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Switching off IR. Going to white light.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The figure appears clearly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[An image of Carter stands, looking out of the monitor.]<br />

'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Alright, you've got our attention. Who are you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
My name is Samantha Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Alright, we've got a little conflict with that statement. We've already got one here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
There are two of us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
If only.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks up at O'Neill, who clears his throat.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Where are you from? How did you know how to contact us?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
Strange. I recognise my voice. I was made in Samantha Carter's image. I know what she knows. I feel what she feels.</blockquote><br />

No doubt you are surprised by my arrival in your galaxy. I come in advance of the others but they will be here soon.</blockquote><br />

[Carter raises her eyebrows and looks up at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />

You have a weapon capable of severing the keron pathways that link my individual cells. The effect would be instantaneous and painless. </blockquote><br />

You folks can feel pain?</blockquote><br />
<br />

I can feel a lot of things. I know you hate and fear the Replicators and with good reason. So this should be easy for you.</blockquote><br />

[O'Neill sits at the briefing table, with Carter and Teal'c.]<br />

Hundreds of millions.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So, why this one?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I think it might be personal, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Personal. In what way?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
While Fifth may lead an army of incredibly advanced machines, deep down he's emotionally immature, like an adolescent boy. And&hellip; he has&hellip; feelings for me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Would that be why he created one in your image?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I imagine so, yes, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Replicators have never before attempted to impersonate a specific individual. This represents a significant new threat to security.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It could be a problem off-world but our scans would detect them if they tried to come through the gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, we've got the disrupter. I say we give her what she wants.</blockquote><br />
<br />

I think that may be a little hasty, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(warningly)<br/><br />
Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm not saying we don't do it. I'm just suggesting that we talk to her first. If Fifth really is coming to this galaxy, she could provide us with valuable intelligence. It's pretty clear they've had some kind of falling out.</blockquote><br />

Either way, I think we need to meet her face to face.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
There's no way I'm letting her on the base.</blockquote><br />

We could use the Alpha site. Skeleton crew, security personnel only.</blockquote><br />

[As the Stargate activates, Teal'c raises the disrupter and the SFs aim their weapons towards it. The Replicator steps through and pauses at the top to look around the room.

Yes, but it's hard to explain. My first memory is of waking up in that room, suddenly becoming conscious but I immediately knew how to talk. Soon, other memories started coming to me. Little things. Stories, songs, the smell of the attic in the house where we used to live. The day my mother died. I know it's not real, I've never even set foot on Earth, but I have this image of lying under the willow tree in our back yard.

Not for long. I know exactly what's going to happen. He'll come here and he'll take this galaxy and you won't be able to stop him. I don't want to live to see that.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We have the disrupter and the Asgard can amplify its effects to prevent a large scale attack.</blockquote><br />

[Carter looks up at the gate room just as the blast door closes over the window. She walks down the ramp and over to the exit but the blast door closes. She is reaching for the access panel when she is shot three times in the back. She turns, obviously in no pain. O'Neill is the one who has shot her. Replicator Carter's body transforms into one with no bullet wounds. O'Neill shoots again, numerous times. Replicator Carter simply stares at O'Neill, then transforms her body again to remove the bullet holes. She raises her weapon and aims at O'Neill, who looks on, shocked.

It is from Ancient technology.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
How were you able to create a working prototype?</blockquote><br />

Thor accessed the specifications for the disrupter from General O'Neill's sub-conscious.</blockquote><br />

While you were aboard Fifth's ship?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's right.</blockquote><br />

Fifth has a fair knowledge of Ancient technology taken from the data banks of assimilated Asgard ships.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You think that's how he managed to counter the effects of the disrupter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
He was able to introduce a cypher into the keron pathways that control the molecular cohesion of all Replicators. It was only then that he considered coming to your galaxy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is unlikely he would have taken such a risk unless he were confident that he would be immune to the effects of the weapon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Do you know the cypher?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
No. Fifth kept it from me because he was beginning to sense that I might betray him. I was too much like you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter glances quickly at Teal'c, then rises to stand on the other side of the table to Replicator Carter.]<br />

But if it's in the programming of all Replicators, presumably you could access it through the sub-space link.</blockquote><br />

If you find the cypher first, we can protect you.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>REPLICATOR CARTER<br/><br />
And if I don't? You, of all people, know what would happen. He would tear my mind apart to make me accept him.</blockquote><br />

There's a sub-space link between all Replicators like a&hellip; a wireless internet connection. If she taps in to it she should be able to access the cypher.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
She'll also be giving away her position.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It'll take some time for Fifth to detect her presence on the link. If she can isolate the correct program first&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's a big "if".</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's risky, Sir, I realise that, but I think it's the only way. While we're waiting for her to find the cypher we can run a few tests on the unmodified disrupter. We need to analyse the energy output so we can create a modulation program, and we need the Asgard to send us a disrupter satellite as soon as possible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I've already talked to them. It'll be there in thirty minutes, or it's free.</blockquote><br />

Exactly. A race that uses all kinds of advanced technology culled from multiple sources, including the Ancients. It's like a banquet for the Replicators.

[The technician slowly rises from the floor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
Yeah, I'm all right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
She's heading for the gate room. We have to stop her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c rises and both he and Carter leave.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ALPHA SITE GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[A number of technicians are in the gate room, as well as a number of SFs. Alarms are sounding. An SF notices Replicator Carter walking towards the room. He and a number of other SFs points their weapons at her. They all fire, but she keeps walking towards them. As one SF tries to attack her, she throws him to the floor. The other SFs fire again. Teal and Carter run through the corridors towards the gunfire. Replicator Carter, smiling slightly, attacks the SFs, who all end up on the floor. She walks over to touch a keyboard and the power come on. She moves to place her hand fully on the keyboard and the gate starts activating very quickly. As Teal'c and Carter arrive in the doorway, Replicator Carter smirks at them, then moves towards the gate. Teal'c runs to stop her from going through the gate and Carter runs to the terminals. As Carter types at a keyboard, Replicator Carter and Teal'c fight at the top of the ramp. Replicator Carter goes through the event horizon but Teal'c grabs her arm, struggling to bring her back through. Only her arm is out of the event horizon. ]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Disengage the wormhole.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
She's locked out the controls.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Replicator Carter's upper body comes through the event horizon. She glares at Teal'c. Her arm, from the elbow down, comes free in Teal'c's hand and Replicator Carter's body goes through the Stargate. The arm disintegrates into Replicator pieces. The Stargate shuts down. Teal'c, standing at the top of the steps, looks at Carter, stunned. Carter walks over to him, checking the SFs lying on the ground, who are now becoming conscious. She walks to the top of the steps, where the Replicator pieces are in a pile. Carter looks down at them, then up at Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Teal'c. What have I done?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You cannot be held responsible for the actions of a Replicator.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter shakes her head slightly, obviously upset.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN COMPLEX&mdash;NIGHT'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CARTER'S LAB'''<br />
<br />
[Carter, seated at a bench, picks up a Replicator piece and places it under a microscope. Teal'c and O'Neill are standing around the bench.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You know, I'm still of a strong belief that it's a bad idea to have that stuff on the base.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
She deactivated these cells when she separated them from her arm.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Can we be certain they will not become active again?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
She deliberately shut down the cohesive energy between them so it would be more difficult for me to figure out how she made herself immune to the disrupter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Now, how do you know that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks up at O'Neill, glances at Teal'c and sighs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Because that's what I would have done.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, if you don't mind, I've got a lot of work to do. We've never had the opportunity to study human-form Replicator cells before. If we can learn something from them, this won't be a total loss.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
This isn't your fault.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm not so sure about that. Fifth came here because of me. She rejected him because she was made like me. Now we've got Replicators in our galaxy and they're immune to the only technology we have that could have stopped them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
None of us correctly anticipated the actions of the Replicator.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I thought she was afraid of him. But really she just wanted to get rid of him so she could lead the Replicators herself. She killed him because she thought he was weak.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter, she isn't you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
O'Neill is correct. Though she shared your memories, her personality was altered.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
But the fact is, she learned betrayal from Fifth, and he learned it from me.</blockquote><br />

'''FADE IN'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN&mdash;DAY '''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[We see Carter filling a glass of water and then she walks over to the briefing table. Daniel is standing looking out of the window at the gate. They sit down at the table where O'Neill and Teal'c are waiting.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Does anyone know what this meeting's about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No but I hope it's important. I was right in the middle of translating that cuneiform tablet we found on P30-255.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I still have to finish recalibrating MALP 3KA's sensors for long term reconnaissance on P5X-327.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I was unable to complete my Kel-no-reem. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks up from the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I was just about to do something important.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[General Hammond walks into the room from his office. He is carrying a tape player.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
All right people, as you were. We have ourselves a situation. Early this morning at approximately o-four hundred hours the base switchboard received the following call.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond presses play on the tape player.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
(on tape)<br/><br />
Hello, this is a message for Colonel Jack O'Neill&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and the others look up in surprise.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
&hellip;and anyone else who's listening in. I know this call is being monitored but don't bother to set up a trace. I'm at a phone booth in Bewt Montana but I'll be long gone before your black ops teams can get here. You're not dealing with an amateur.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill is smirking at the tape.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
&hellip;I know all about Roswell, and the Kennedy cover-ups and the&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond presses fast forward on the tape player.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
He goes on like that for a while.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond presses play.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
&hellip;and the CIA sanctioned microwave harassment and the&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and Carter look surprised. Hammond presses fast forward again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Quite a while.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He presses play.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
&hellip;and the lizard people&hellip; O'Neill smiles widely.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
&hellip;but the point is none of these compare to your secret, colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and Carter look concerned. O'Neill stops smiling.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
&hellip;I'm talking about a large circular object discovered in Egypt and currently residing in the bottom of a missile silo under Cheyenne Mountain. I believe you call it the Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Hammond alarmed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
&hellip;and now that I've got your attention I want to meet tomorrow. Eleven AM at the New Clover Leaf restaurant in Billings&hellip;and Colonel&hellip;come alone.</blockquote> <br />
<br />
[Hammond stops the tape and looks at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Interesting.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It would appear base security has been breached.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I want to know who this man is. I want to know how he got his information and I want to know who he's been talking to.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond looks around the table at SG-1.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
You leave in half an hour.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He leaves the briefing room.]<br />
<br />
'''END OF TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;RESTAURANT'''<br />
<br />
[We see the busy restaurant, the waitress is serving the customers as the camera pans onto O'Neill. He is sitting waiting at a table reading. We hear the door open and a man approaches O'Neill. The camera pans up the man and he appears to be very nervous.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
(nervously)<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks up and seems uninterested.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
Sorry I'm late. I think I was followed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He looks around nervously.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You sure?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
Yeah, but don't worry&hellip;I managed to lose them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The man sits down at the table with O'Neill. He is constantly looking around.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Very professional&hellip;.what's you name?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
You can call me Martin.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ok Martin, what's this about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Martin takes a small grey device out of his pocket. He stands up and gestures to O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
If you don't mind, before we get started.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Martin obviously wants to scan O'Neill for bugs with the device. O'Neill looks very unconvinced and almost bored but stands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
I'd just like to check you for transmitters.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill turns round slowly as Martin scans him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
You're clean.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He and O'Neill sit back down again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
You understand, a man in my position has to take precautions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, you never know who's listening.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
Exactly. I don't know about you but I always feel like I'm being watched.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Come on Martin. Let's get to it. What's going on here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As Martin begins to talk again we see the camera pan over to the kitchen hatch. We see Teal'c there dressed as a chef. He swings the menu stand around to face O'Neill and there is a camera in the stand. O'Neill and Martin continue to talk as we zoom into the camera.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
You know as well as I do Colonel!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I don't.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SURVEILLANCE VAN'''<br />
<br />
[We suddenly see a screen showing the scene in the restaurant. As the camera pans out we see that Carter and Daniel are in the van. They are surrounded by surveillance equipment and are watching O'Neill and Martin.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Ok here we go. If he's got a driver's license we should be able to find him. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter works at one of the computers. Daniel is standing behind her drinking coffee.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You know I've never been on a stakeout before. Shouldn't we have donuts or something?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter look up at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;RESTAURANT'''<br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill and Martin talking at the table still.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
A top secret government program involving instantaneous travel to other solar systems by means of a device known as a Stargate!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at him unconvinced.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Sounds like a good idea for a TV show&hellip;if you're into that sort of thing!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
Colonel, let's not play games. If it isn't true then why did you come here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
The truth! There is a top-secret government program called project Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
(excitedly)<br/><br />
I knew it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
But it has nothing to do with space travel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Martin looks disappointed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
What does it have to do with?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks very serious and leans over slightly to talk to Martin.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Magnets!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Martin looks confused then blinks.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
What the hell is that supposed to mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No&hellip;I've already said too much!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
Colonel you're not taking this seriously!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No I'm not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
I need help!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why? What seems to be&hellip;?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Martin looks panicked.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
I have to go through the Stargate!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Marty I told&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Martin interrupts again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
No, I mean it. I've come to realize that I don't belong here. For the longest time I was obsessed with all those alien conspiracies. Crop circles, cow mutilations, the Apollo cover-up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I thought the lunar landings were a hoax!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
(surprised)<br/><br />
No! That was a story created by the government to direct attention from the real cover-up. Everybody knows that!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill nods unconvinced.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
Anyway, one day I'm on line and I find this conspiracy chat-room and they're talking about something called the Stargate. Most of it was misinformation but the word Stargate stuck in my head. It triggered what I later realized was a suppressed memory. You see Colonel O'Neill, the truth is I'm not just interested in outer space. I'm from outer space!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at him for a moment. He then leans back in his chair.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to waitress)<br/><br />
Check please!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SURVEILLANCE VAN'''<br />
<br />
[We see Daniel looking out of the window at the restaurant. Carter calls out to him and he walks over to her. She is working at a computer looking for details of Martin.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We've got something. That's him, Martin Lloyd, brown hair, hazel eyes. Looks like he's got a criminal record. He was arrested for protesting outside a TV station. He said subliminal advertising was controlling his thoughts.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks surprised that the information has been found so fast.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Do you have a current address?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, I could get the prescription of his glasses if I wanted.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;RESTAURANT'''<br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill looking very uncomfortable sitting opposite Martin. Martin seems is trying to make O'Neill believe him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
So, you still don't believe me? I'm an Alien!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You look pretty human to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
No&hellip;what I believe, is that thousands of years ago, people were taken from earth, maybe as part of some experiment, maybe as slaves, who knows. But the point is, there are entire civilizations up there descending from those original humans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Now, that's just crazy talk!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
Want proof? I can give you proof. I can show you my ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The waitress approaches and hands O'Neill the bill. O'Neill slides it over and looks at it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Look, Marty, I'm a busy man. And you don't strike me as any great threat to national security&hellip;</blockquote> <br />
<br />
[O'Neill reads the bill. It has a note on it saying 'We've got his address, stall him.']<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
But, as you know, it never hurts to be thorough. So, show me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Martin smiles and gets up. O'Neill rolls his eyes and follows.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;WOODLAND AREA'''<br />
<br />
[Martin is leading O'Neill through the woods in search of his spaceship.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
(excitedly)<br/><br />
It's just over the next ridge. The ship's supposed to be buried, but I know exactly where it is.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Marty&hellip;what makes you think you can trust me with all this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
I can't explain it Colonel, I just have a gut feeling, like we have something in common.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, that's very flattering, but I'm not an alien.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
I know that! Something else.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
Up here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He points into the distance.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;MARTINS HOUSE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter, Daniel and Teal'c exit a car. They approach Martin's house. All three are wearing civilian clothing.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This is it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Nice place!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hello?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter proceeds to pick the lock on the door.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MARTIN'S HOUSE'''<br />
<br />
[We see the inside of Martin's house as Carter. Daniel and Teal'c enter. It is full of weird statues and 'alien' items and toys. All of the curtains and shutters are closed making the house very dark.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh, boy!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Something tells me we don't need to worry about this guy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Except for the fact he happens to be very close to the truth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She walks up to an alien statue that looks very much like Thor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(surprised)<br/><br />
He looks familiar!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c picks up a toy ray gun and presses its button. It lights up and makes a 'phaser' sound. Teal'c looks over at Carter with a slight grin.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It would appear this weapon is ineffective.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel walks into the kitchen. He opens a blind to let some light in. He opens the cupboards and finds one of them full of medication.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(raising his eyebrows)<br/><br />
Oh, Hello! Sam, you're gonna wanna&hellip;take a look this!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter walks over and joins him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Woah, that's quite a collection! Tranquilizers, antidepressants, antipsycotics. Looks like our friend here has been treated for a number of different psychiatric problems.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, why doesn't that surprise me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;WOODLAND'''<br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill and Martin still searching for his spaceship.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Marty, we've been walking around for half an hour!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
I don't understand it! The clearing where I landed should be around here somewhere.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(annoyed)<br/><br />
How do ya lose a spaceship?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
Well, my memory isn't so good. Sometimes, I get a little confused. I think it might be the medication.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, well, there ya go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill stops still.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey, listen, I'm going back to the car.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
(panicked)<br/><br />
No! Wait! You can't&hellip;please&hellip;It's around here somewhere. I know it is!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(annoyed)<br/><br />
Marty, listen to me! There is no spaceship! You're not an alien!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
You don't understand!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I get that a lot. Come on. I'll drive you back to town.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They walk back towards the car.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MARTIN'S HOUSE'''<br />
<br />
[We see Daniel reading Martin's diary. He is wearing rubber gloves to prevent fingerprints. Carter approaches him and looks over his shoulder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Find anything?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(flicking through diary)<br/><br />
Oh, yeah. It's a diary. Um&hellip;"April 12: Someone has gone through my garbage. Suspect CIA. Must take precautions. May 2: Comb missing. Suspect CIA has stolen it to acquire genetic identification. Uh&hellip;June 26: Comb found behind dresser Disposed of it in case of tampering, bought new comb 39 cents at shopmart." I'm telling you this is a complete waste of time. He has paranoid delusions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter continues searching the house as Daniel talks. She walks over to an alien statue with large eyes and looks into it. She doesn't see the camera inside the eye recording the events.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;WAREHOUSE'''<br />
<br />
[We see the view of the surveillance camera. Carter is looking at it unknowingly. Two men stride up towards the man who is watching the footage.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
What have we got?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN #2<br/><br />
Activity in the house.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
Looks like Martin's got visitors.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN #2<br/><br />
That's not all. See the big guy? Watch what happens when I get a thermo scan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He types at the computer and we see the image shift to thermal view of Teal'c. His symbiote is clearly seen in his stomach.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN #2<br/><br />
Definitely not human.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC&mdash;HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[We see Dr Fraiser approaching the office carrying some reports. She knocks on his door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(from inside)<br/><br />
Come in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Fraiser opens the door. Hammond is sitting at his desk doing paperwork.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Sir, I have the results of the tests done on the medication that Major Carter took from Martin's house.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She hands him the reports.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />

Preliminary analysis was done in a Montana lab. They faxed it over. There are some anomalies.</blockquote><br />

Meaning?</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Several unidentifiable chemicals were present. I believe that the drugs may have been tampered with.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
For what purpose?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
I can't say. I mean for all we know, the medications may be the cause of his delusions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I'll mention that to Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote><br />

The name of the psychiatrist who prescribed the drugs was on the label.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>DR. TANNER<br/><br />
I must say, your phone call piqued my curiosity. I don't often get requests for information from the military!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, this concerns a particular patient of yours, Martin Lloyd.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DR. TANNER<br/><br />
Oh, I see. Of course, you understand that doctor/patient privilege prohibits me from discussion case history of a client.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This is a matter of National Security, Doctor Tanner. The privilege doesn't exist in this case.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DR. TANNER<br/><br />
National security involving Martin! I find that hard to believe!</blockquote><br />
<br />

Why do you say that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel is sitting next to a small statue of 'The Thinker' in the same pose!]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DR. TANNER<br/><br />
Let's put it this way, people like Martin sometimes compensate for their feelings of insignificance by creating elaborate fantasies in which they are the center and focus of all the attention. These people are usually harmless, although they may try and draw others into their illusions. That's what's happened here.</blockquote><br />

[A TV is showing 'The Day the Earth Stood Still'. We hear humming of the theme tune as the camera pans around we see the O'Neill is sitting on the edge of a bed doing the humming. A vibrating sound is heard. It stops and Teal'c approaches O'Neill. He holds his hand out and O'Neill gives him some coins. Teal'c then goes over to his bed and adds the coins to the machine to start the vibrating bed. He lies down on it with a big grin on his face. Suddenly there is a knock on the door.]<br />

Oh, good. You're here. You have no idea how&hellip;Who's he?</blockquote><br />

(sarcastically)<br/><br />
Yes&hellip;It all makes sense now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
I propped it up against the inside of my door. When I got home, it was on the ground, meaning&hellip;someone was there!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Martin as if he is stupid.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
If you prop it up against the inside of your door, how do you get out?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
Through the window! You think I'm so stupid, I go out my own front door?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So, you leave the window unlocked?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
That's right. I put a hair on the inside of the window sill, and when that's gone when I get back&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Marty!</blockquote><br />
<br />

Right now, I need you to think very carefully. Where did you see them?</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps this can be used to our advantage O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;WAREHOUSE'''<br />
<br />
[We see Carter and Daniel alone at the table talking.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I don't get this. These guys know what a symbiote is, but if they were really NID, they'd know that Teal'c isn't a security threat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don't know. That's why I hate working for the government. Every department has its own agenda, it's own little&hellip;secrets!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
(from doorway)<br/><br />
Very true, Doctor Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and Carter turn around, surprised, to see their captors standing in the doorway.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Oh! Yeah! Yep! Didn't see that one coming!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The men walk behind them and then Dr Tanner places a leather bag onto the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DR. TANNER<br/><br />
I understand your reluctance to cooperate. In situations like this, information is on a need to know bases. The fact of the matter is&hellip;we're running out of time. I'm running out of patience. And I really&hellip;need to know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He begins to get torture devices out of the bag and places them on the table threateningly. Daniel and Carter look anxious but are trying to hide that fact.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You're not a real doctor, are you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A beeping sound is heard and the second man gets a device out of his pocket.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN 2<br/><br />
Looks like the experiment's been discovered. What do we do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DR. TANNER<br/><br />
Get the van!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Dr Tanner takes a small box from his jacket pocket.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We're gone for a ride?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DR. TANNER<br/><br />
(smiling menacingly)<br/><br />
Not exactly!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He holds a loaded syringe up and prepares to inject them.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;CLEARING'''<br />
<br />
[We see Martin pacing nervously outside the open hatch of the spaceship in the ground. He is talking into his coat pocket to O'Neill and Teal'c via a wire.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
This is not a good idea&hellip;did I mention this is not a good idea? I don't really appreciate being used as bait.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill and Teal'c monitoring the situation from the surveillance.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hang in there, Marty! And stop talking into your lapel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
(in clearing)<br/><br />
Oh, it's easy for you guys, all nice and cozy back in your van eating your crullers and your bear claws. I'm the one standing out here, risking my&hellip;We got company!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see Dr Tanner and the other men approaching him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DR. TANNER<br/><br />
I must say, Martin, this is very disappointing. You stopped taking your medication, didn't you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
I'm not crazy, and you're not a psychiatrist. You see this? This is what brought us here. I remember now!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Martin shows them the open ships hatch.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DR. TANNER<br/><br />
(threateningly)<br/><br />
Martin. You've really made a mess of things this time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The other two men push Martin away whilst Dr Tanner closes the hatch with a remote. He follows the others. The men lead Martin towards a van and push him inside.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
(into jacket)<br/><br />
Nice van! What do you call that color? Kind of a greyish-green, huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
Just get in!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The others get in the van and they drive off.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SURVEILLANCE VAN'''<br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill and Teal'c monitoring the situation. A computer screen shows the vans position.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right, they're moving.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;VAN'''<br />
<br />
[Martin is sitting in the back next to Dr Tanner.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
So, you're gonna drug me again?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DR. TANNER<br/><br />
Well, obviously, that didn't work. I'm afraid we're gonna have to take more drastic measures.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
You're not gonna kill me? You know how many people know about this, now? What about Major Carter and Doctor Jackson? Are you gonna kill all of us?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill listening to this in the van.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DR. TANNER<br/><br />
We're gonna do what we have to do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
(upset)<br/><br />
This isn't right. I know you. I know all of you. We were on this ship together. We're soldiers, not murderers. That's why you drugged me in the first place.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DR. TANNER<br/><br />
Martin&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
It's not too late. Our people are at war. They need us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DR. TANNER<br/><br />
Martin, I hate to see you like this. You're my best agent.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
I was never any kind of agent! You're just saying that because you think I'm bugged!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DR. TANNER<br/><br />
Well, aren't you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
No! Of course not! The government agency thing, was just a cover. We're all really Aliens, right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DR. TANNER<br/><br />
With all the secrecy, and all the lies, you can get confused.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
Who's confused! I know who I am! Why are you guys doing this? Why can't you just admit it? We can all just go home! They have a Stargate!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SURVEILLANCE VAN'''<br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill and Teal'c in the van.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
They've stopped. Get to them!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill reaches into his pocket for his gun.]<br />
<br />
[We then see the surveillance van pull up outside of the warehouse along with other teams. O'Neill and Teal'c emerge from the van armed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to guard)<br/><br />
Seal off the area. No one in or out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c cautiously enter the building. The see Carter and Daniel drugged and still tied to their chairs. O'Neill approaches them cautiously. Carter is already stirring.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(groggy)<br/><br />
Sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill begins to release them as Daniel too awakens.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You all right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[While O'Neill is doing this Teal'c goes to the van that Martin was abducted in. He opens the back door cautiously and finds Martin tied up and gagged in the back. Teal'c reaches down and removes the gag.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
Oh, Murray! Am I glad to see you! Oh&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Martin goes over to O'Neill who has finished releasing Carter and Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Where are your friends?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
I'm not sure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Sergeant? Any sign of the targets?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SERGEANT<br/><br />
(via radio)<br/><br />
Negative, Sir!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill just looks at Martin.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
They just disappeared?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
They're Aliens, right? I got evidence. Look.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Martin reaches into his pocket and retrieves the remote device that TANNER used on the ship.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What's that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
A mobile computer device. I snuck it out of Tanner's bag. It has multiple functions, see? Uh-Oh!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Martin presses something on the device and it starts beeping fast. Martin looks very worried.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
(anxiously)<br/><br />
Guys, we'd better get out of here. This thing is counting down!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see them all run out of the building in slow motion. They all jump out of the exit onto the ground below and cover their heads from the blast.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to the other teams)<br/><br />
Clear the area!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Nothing happens and O'Neill and Carter stare at Martin.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
(confused)<br/><br />
That's weird! I'm sure this is a countdown for some sort of destination!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see a shot of the spaceship hatch in the clearing. Suddenly the ship blows up and leaves a large crater in the clearing.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[We see the Stargate activating.]<br />
<br />
[In the corridor next to the gate room we see O'Neill, Martin - dressed in fatigues - and Teal'c. They walk into the gate room. Martin looks on it in awe. From the control room Hammond, Carter and Daniel are standing behind the technicians at work.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
Exactly! This is just like I remembered!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Chevron 7 is locked!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The gate opens.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
He was right! It's an active gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sending the MALP through.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The MALP goes up the ramp and through the gate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
(to O'Neill)<br/><br />
I remember everything now! There was no malfunction!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What are you talking about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
(sadly)<br/><br />
When we abandoned the ship, we did it deliberately. We were loosing the war. We're deserters. After a while, I realized what we'd done wrong, I wanted to go home. But, the others were afraid.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So, they gave you the drugs?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
They're not&hellip;bad guys. They're just hiding.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(from control room)<br/><br />
Receiving MALP telemetry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter, Daniel and Hammond look to their screens at the data. They look sadly at them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
You're gonna hunt them down, aren't you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Not me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
But the military, the government?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I don't think anyone's gonna find them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel enters the gate room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
General Hammond says you're a go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
Really?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, it's safe&hellip;but, uh&hellip;you're not gonna like it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Martin, O'Neill and Teal'c step through the gate.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PLANET'''<br />
<br />
[Martin, O'Neill and Teal'c exit and look around the planet. It is in total ruins around the, Martin looks around upset.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
They were right! If we'd gone back, we'd be dead now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm sorry, Martin.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARTIN<br/><br />
So, now what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We go home.</blockquote><br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''FADE IN'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BARRACKS'''<br />
<br />
[We see the camera pan across a barracks full of bunk beds. There are people everywhere getting up from their beds. All of the people are dirty and look as though they do manual labour. There are fires burning in barrels at the end of the beds.]<br />
<br />
[Suddenly we see Teal'c sit up from a bed on the sounding of an alarm and join the other people walking away from the beds. The lights in the barracks turn on automatically. Teal'c has no shirt on and a thick bandage is covering his pouch.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MAIN CHAMBER'''<br />
<br />
[We see the ceiling of the chamber. There are skylights there covered in snow. The camera pans down onto a line of people stood waiting to receive their breakfast. The whole area in dirty and seems to be industrial. We see a woman wearing somewhat smarter clothes than the workers walk out onto a walkway above the line of people. She is smiling.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Colleagues!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We then see a shot of Carter and O'Neill looking up at the woman. They are dressed in workers outfits and are both very dirty. The camera shows the line of people and we see that Daniel is also there with them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Your attention please! I am pleased to report that thanks to your hard work, we now have enough reserve energy to heat the greenhouses for the next two months. Special merit to the workers of section twenty three!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The workers all raise a hand and sheer. We see that O'Neill, Carter and Daniel all do this too. Teal'c however doesn’t and looks around suspiciously.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Let us use this not as an excuse to work less but as motivation top work harder. Our world may be covered in ice but one day we will reclaim our place on the surface!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ALL WORKERS<br/><br />
It is my honour to serve.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill and Daniel say these words as though programmed to do it. The woman leaves and the line proceeds to get their breakfast. Carter, O'Neill and Daniel are all next to each other in the line. We see Carter receive her breakfast from a woman. The woman spoons it into a bowl for her. She doesn’t seem to like Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Kegan, how about some bread?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
(sarcastically)<br/><br />
Sorry, just gave out the last piece.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Oh here we go, every time!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
(annoyed)<br/><br />
What is your problem?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
I don’t have a problem!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
And we don’t have any bread!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Is there a problem here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
(nastily)<br/><br />
Stay out of this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Jonah, there are other people waiting!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill grab Kegan's arm angrily.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Give here the damn bread!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel grabs O'Neill's hand away from Kegan and O'Neill angrily grabs Daniel and throws him over his shoulder onto the floor. They proceed to fight each other until Teal'c runs over and grabs O'Neill off Daniel. He restrains a struggling O'Neill. Daniel stands up and stares at them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
This is not right! The two of you are friends O'Neill!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill is still struggling to get out of Tealc’s grip.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Stay out of it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
We are part of something called SG-1. I am Teal'c. Do you not remember?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Daniel look puzzled at Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
(angrily)<br/><br />
Somebody get this guy off me!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Three workers run up and grab hold of Teal'c. They restrain him from O'Neill who backs away from him and bumps into an angry Daniel. Brenna approaches Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Get him upstairs!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c is dragged away from the chamber.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You must remember! We must escape!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel, Carter and O'Neill watch as Teal'c is dragged away. O'Neill turns to face Brenna.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Brenna, it is my honour to serve. I don’t know that man.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
I know Jonah don’t worry. He’s night sick.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna looks at Kegan.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Give Thera her bread.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan gets a new tray of bread and shoves it onto the serving table in front of Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Get back to work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''END OF TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;UNDERGROUND PUMP AREA'''<br />
<br />
[We see lots of machinery working in the area as the camera pans down to Daniel/Carlin and Kegan working at one of the machines. The machines seem to be in a bad state of repair and are sparking and smoking.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
These pumps regulate the overflow. Sometimes they get clogged and you have to&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She notices that Daniel/Carlin is not listening to her]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Carlin!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Where’s he been for five days?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He indicates to Teal'c who we se stepping through a door into the machinery area.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Recovering from night sickness. It’s a strange thing. There was this guy once a couple of years ago who tried to smash his way through one of those skylights.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She points at one of the skylights.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Did he do it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
You would have known if he had. This place would have been buried under ice and snow and you would have frozen to death along with everyone else.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ANOTHER MACHINE AREA'''<br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill/Jonah hammering at a machine to fix it. He sees Teal'c approach and turns away to avoid him. But Teal'c doesn’t seem to recognise him and walks straight past. O'Neill/Jonah seems confused by this. Suddenly there is a loud bang and we see a machine where Carter/Thera is working with others smoking and sparking. O'Neill/Jonah turns to see this.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Cover those valves!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna approaches Carter/Thera.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
What happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
One of the stabilisers ruptured. They’re so corroded they can’t take the pressure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
There’s not much we can do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Actually I think there is! If we set up an automatic release valve on each of the stabilisers we could vent the excess pressure. I’ve done some calculations. If you want I could show you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
You can come by my office later.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna leaves and Carter/Thera smiles at O'Neill/Jonah. They go back to work.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MACHINE AREA'''<br />
<br />
[We see Carter/Thera and O'Neill/Jonah. As Thera walks past Jonah he joins her and they walk along together.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
You all right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Fine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
That explosion.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA <br/><br />
(shaking her head)<br/><br />
Oh no, no&hellip;I’m fine really.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'Neill/JONAH<br/><br />
Good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Brenna wants to see me. She wants to hear my ideas for running the plant.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
You know you could take a few minutes off.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera laughs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Oh please! You work just as hard as I do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
That’s different, it’s called stamina.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera smiles and laughs again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Have a good shift.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She walks off to Brenna's office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Bye.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CHAMBER BELOW BRENNA'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[We see Kegan looking up as Carter/Thera goes into Brenna's office. Kegan looks at Daniel/Carlin.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
There she goes! Why does Brenna listen to her?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN <br/><br />
(distractedly)<br/><br />
I don’t know, she seems pretty smart.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
She thinks she’s better than the rest of us!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan looks over at O'Neill/Jonah who is working on some machine.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
They both do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Teal'c said we were friends.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
His name’s not Teal'c it’s TOR. Night sickness.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She and Daniel/Carlin exchange looks and then get on with their work.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[We see the Stargate activate. The klaxons are going off. Inside the control room Sergeant Davis is at the control console. Hammond is standing in the background talking to a technician.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Sir we’re ready for the video link with P3R-118.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond walks over to the console.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Very well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond stares at a computer screen and we see a shot of a man appear. He turns to look at Hammond.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Administrator Calder.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
General Hammond I’m sorry to have to tell you this but our search has turned up nothing. Given the hostile conditions outside of the dome I don’t see how SG-1 could have survived this long.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
With all due respect administrator I’m not ready to give up on my people just yet. We have specialised equipment and teams specially trained for this type of operation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
When Major Carter first expressed an interest in exploring the glacier I tried to explain the danger but Colonel O'Neill was quite overly confident thinking they could handle the conditions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I appreciate your concern. But I assure you I’ll take full responsibility.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Very well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns away and the transmission ends as the gate deactivates.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CALDER'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[We see Calder walk to the window in his luxury office. A servant enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Tell Brenna I want to see her tomorrow. I’d like to know how our new workers are doing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[We see Daniel walking down the ramp from an active gate. The room is dark except for the light of the gate. Daniel is dressed in his work clothes from the underground plant. He turns around to look at the gate as O'Neill, also in work clothes walks past him to the gate. O'Neill turns and talks to Daniel but his voice is strange and muffled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Go ahead!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Go where?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
The other side.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly Kegan appears next to Daniel. He turns round to her surprised.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Carlin! Don’t listen to him!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly Daniel wakes up and sits up from his bed in the barracks. It has been a dream and he lies back down confused.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The gate is active and we see Hammond and Sergeant Davis at the main console. There are technicians in the background. Davis turns and nods at Hammond. Hammond looks at the screen again and talks to Major Griff who is on P3R-118. They are in a blizzard searching for SG-1.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Major, what’s your status?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The link to Griff is bad and he is very faint on the viewer.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRIFF<br/><br />
(shouting)<br/><br />
We’ve lost the UAV and we’re getting back now. But I have to tell you sir, it doesn’t look good. This place is pretty nasty.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond looks concerned.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;UNDERGROUND WORKS'''<br />
<br />
[We see Teal'c/Tor shovelling some ore. As he is doing this Daniel/Carlin approaches and looks at the bandage around Teal'c/Tor's middle.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
What happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C/TOR<br/><br />
I was injured.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
When?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C/TOR<br/><br />
Why are you speaking to me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin walks closer to Teal'c/Tor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
I just thought that err&hellip;since apparently we’re friends from way back. I just thought that&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel indicates Teal'c’s golden tattoo on his head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
&hellip;what is that thing on your forehead?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c/Tor doesn’t stop working.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C/TOR<br/><br />
A birthmark.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
A birthmark, you’d think I’d remember something like that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C/TOR<br/><br />
I don’t know you!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
You said you did! Last week during morning line up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C/TOR<br/>\n<br />
I wasn’t here last week!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
You said we were friends and you said we had to escape and I’d really like an explanation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c/Tor looks up angrily.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C/TOR<br/><br />
I said no such thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They stare at each other for a moment.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
All right, I’m obviously completely wrong about that!.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C/TOR<br/><br />
Yes&hellip;don’t talk to me again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c/Tor resumes shovelling as Daniel walks away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Yeah right!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin walks over to where Kegan is working. He crouches next to her and she looks at him angrily.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
I told you to leave them alone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
He was there Kegan. You heard him. Why would he deny that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Night sickness affects your mind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
That doesn’t explain the dreams I’ve had.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan looks down.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Something is wrong here Kegan. Somethings not&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan interrupts.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Carlin! It’s bad enough he named you as part of his delusion. Now if people here you talking like this they’re going to think you’re night sick!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
(accusingly)<br/><br />
People?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Not that I would ever&hellip;Carlin.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin shakes his head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
No, of course not!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He laughs and shrugs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
It’s just a dream!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan pats him on the back but Daniel/Carlin doesn’t look convinced.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PLANET'''<br />
<br />
[We see a shot of the planet outside of the dome. Everywhere is covered in snow and ice.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CALDER'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Calder is sitting behind his desk in his office as Brenna walks in.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Why didn’t the memory stamp work on Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
I’m sure it was the creature his species carries within them. We’ve stamped him again, this time it seems to be holding.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
(annoyed)<br/><br />
And what about the others?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
They’re all proving to be excellent workers. In face Thera has some interesting ideas for improving the plant.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Thera?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
The personality we stamped Major Carter with.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna hands Calder a device with Thera’s ideas on. Calder takes hold of it using a handkerchief. Calder quickly scans through the ideas.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
We’ve been having some problems with the pressure overload. She suggested an automated relief valve which would relieve the excess pressure. If we didn’t have to regulate the pressure manually it would free up workers for other tasks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
(coldly)<br/><br />
Maybe one day she could increase productivity to the point where we don’t even need workers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
What would be so wrong with that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Calder looks at her annoyed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Well I’m sure they’d fit right in. They don’t even know that the city exists!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
You could tell them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
That they’d been lied to all their lives! How would the people of the city react when there’s less to go around? When they had to make room for workers?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna looks dismayed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Right now in our city Brenna we have no crime, no unemployment! They’re happy where they are! That’s what the stamp assures.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Calder hands back the ideas to Brenna.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Do only what is necessary to ensure uninterrupted power.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna takes the ideas and leaves.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Yes, administrator.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRENNA'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera is at the open doorway. She knocks and Brenna looks up from her work. Brenna nods at her and Carter/Thera enters closing the door behind her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Did you get a chance to look over my plans yet? I’d like to get started right away.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
We can’t do the improvements.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera looks disappointed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/>\n<br />
But you said before&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
No&hellip;it would require the generators to be offline for too long, If any of the critical systems began to freeze we might not be able to get them started again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
I agree there’s some risk&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna stands and hands Carter/Thera the device with the ideas on.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Too much risk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Ok&hellip;what about my other ideas?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
I’m sorry. This plant is all that stands between us and the ice. Uninterrupted production is more important than efficiency. You may return to work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera looks very disappointed. She turns to leave and then stops.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Brenna I know you were excited about this. What’s happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Well, I’ve thought it over.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
At least let me come up with a safer way&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna interrupts her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Thera, please leave.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
It’s my honour to serve.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She leaves looking upset. Brenna seems upset also.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;WORK AREA'''<br />
<br />
[We see Carter/Thera and O'Neill/Jonah in the work area. Carter/Thera is annoyed about Brenna's decision and is pacing back and fourth.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
It’s not like I’m making this up of the top of my head! I’ve got a detailed plan including safeguards.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I’m sure she knows that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
I could make a difference here&hellip;she won’t let me!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera turns away and O'Neill/Jonah walks up to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Why don’t you go back to her in a couple of days, offer up something small. Maybe you’ve got to work into the big stuff.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He shrugs at her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
How do you stay so calm?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I think in another life I’ve handled dangerous explosives.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
(puzzled)<br/><br />
What&hellip;what do you mean in another life?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
(shaking his head)<br/><br />
I didn’t mean anything by it. It’s just an expression isn’t it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[We see that the wormhole is open and Hammond is waiting at the bottom of the ramp with some technicians. The MALP comes through the wormhole followed by Major Griff and his team. They are wearing snowsuits. Griff is approached by Hammond and removes his hood.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Major?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRIFF<br/><br />
I’m sorry sir. There’s no sign of them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The gate disengages.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I understand. You and your team have been out there a long time?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRIFF<br/><br />
No sir, when I say there’s no sign I mean literally there’s no trace.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(puzzled)<br/><br />
What are you saying Major?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRIFF<br/><br />
I can’t imagine a scientific reason Major Carter or Doctor Jackson might have had to want to check out those ice fields. But even if they wanted to go out there. There’s no way in hell Colonel O'Neill would have let them!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
According to Administrator Calder, Colonel O'Neill believed the risk was acceptable.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRIFF<br/><br />
I can’t speak for that sir I’m not a diplomat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Off the record!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRIFF<br/><br />
They’re not out there sir, no way!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Administrator Calder says they are.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRIFF<br/><br />
Then I’d say he’s a damn liar!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond nods and then indicates that Griff is dismissed. Hammond looks angry.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;UNDERGROUND BARRACKS'''<br />
<br />
[We see Kegan washing herself under a tap. Daniel/Carlin walks up to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Kegan, I need to ask you something.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan looks at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
How did I get here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
What do you mean how did you get here? You were transferred from the mines.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
No, before that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan gives a short laugh.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Before?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
You don’t remember?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
I keep thinking about it and all I come up with is a hand full of memories.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan walks closer to Daniel/Carlin.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
What is this about anyway?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
I’m just wondering if Jonah and Thera were ever my friends.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan sighs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Friends?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Maybe I don’t recognise them because it was years ago&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Listen to me. They are just trying to get close to Brenna so they can get special treatment. Especially Thera.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin doesn’t seem convinced.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Look, all I am saying&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
And all I’m saying that if you’re friends with those two&hellip;you’re not mine!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She walks away from him angrily.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PIPE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[We see Teal'c/Tor working at a machine trying to turn a wheel valve on a smoking and steaming machine. He doesn’t appear to be well at all. He sees that the pressure valve on the machine is rising and tries to manually open it to release the pressure but as he is doing this he collapses. The pressure continues to build. Some workers notice Teal'c/Tor unconscious on the floor and run over to help him. One notices the pressure valve.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WORKER<br/><br />
The pressure's too high. The pipes are hot!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WORKER 2<br/><br />
It’s tool late! This whole section is going to blow! Help me get him out of here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The first worker activates a horn to warn of the danger and then they pick Teal'c and evacuate the area with other workers.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ADJACENT AREA'''<br />
<br />
[The workers drag Teal'c away from the machines. Carter/Thera runs up to them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
What’s going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WORKER<br/><br />
We’ve got a pressure overload!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
We’ve got to fix it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WORKER<br/><br />
It’s too late. We have to evacuate the area.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The workers continue to drag Teal'c/Tor away. Daniel/Carlin runs up to Carter/Thera.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
What’s happening?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
If that boiler blows it’ll take this whole section with it. Now I can shut off the main boiler from here but somebody’s going to have to go back there and open the primary release valve.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As she is talking O'Neill/Jonah runs up and goes to open the valve. Daniel heads to open the valve too as Kegan runs to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Carlin!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Get these people out of here!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He indicates the workers nearby then runs off to help O'Neill/Jonah.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
(to workers)<br/><br />
Get out of here! Close this section!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The workers run away.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PIPE AREA'''<br />
<br />
[The pressure in the valve continues to rise uncontrolled. O'Neill/Jonah runs up to the valve. He touches the lever to release the valve but it's it too hot and he burns his hand. He tries to use his clothes to cover his hands but it is still too hot. Daniel/Carlin approaches.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Here!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He hands O'Neill/Jonah a hammer and they start hitting at the valve to open it.]<br />

<br />
[Carter/Thera shuts down the main boiler.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PIPE AREA'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin and O'Neill/Jonah are still hitting hard at the valve. Eventually just as the pressure is reaching critical they manage to release the valve. Steam comes out of the valve very fast and the pressure comes down. O'Neill looks down at Daniel who is crouching on the floor. He holds out his hand and helps Daniel up.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;UNDERGROUND SICKBAY'''<br />
<br />
[We see Teal'c/Tor lying in a bed awake. Brenna is standing over him helping him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C/TOR<br/><br />
I must return to my duties,</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna places a hand on his shoulder to stop him from sitting up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
I want you to rest! You’ll stay here until you’re well enough to work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna moves to where Daniel/Carlin, O'Neill/Jonah and Carter/Thera are standing. O’Neill and Daniel have steam scolds on their faces.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
As for you three, we all owe you a debt of gratitude. You risked your lives to save the plant.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA and DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
It is my honour to serve.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill/Jonah doesn’t join in this and the other two look unconvinced of it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
If it hadn’t been for your quick action many lives would have been lost.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Next time will be different.</blockquote><br />
<br />

(smiling)<br/><br />
Hopefully there won’t be a next time.</blockquote><br />

She knows I’m right.</blockquote><br />
<br />

He said we were a part of something called SG-1.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Yeah what is that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
A team?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
(disbelieving)<br/><br />
What kind of a name is that for a team?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera shakes her head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
I don’t know! Look I just think I’m supposed to be doing something&hellip;more important.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
We’re helping out people survive an ice age.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Yeah, what’s more important than that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
I don’t know. Look I just have this feeling that all of us are part of some&hellip;bigger, grander thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Well I certainly understand what you are talking about.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin looks surprised.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
You do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
(sarcastically)<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin looks around to make sure that no one is listening.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Look, I don’t know how to explain this but I had this dream. You were in it.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
There was this big glowing puddle.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
(sarcastically)<br/><br />
Ok stop talking right now!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Wait a second Jonah. I had the same dream.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Will you two stop talking like that for cryin out loud?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Daniel both look at him puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
It’s an expression&hellip;right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[DANIEL/CARLIN looks around again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Look, we can’t talk right now. Let’s meet after lights out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He walks away to continue working. Carter also walks away leaving O'Neill/Jonah to think.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SLEEPING AREA&mdash;NIGHT'''<br />

<br />
'''INT&mdash;SECLUDED AREA'''<br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill/Jonah already waiting in a secluded area of the plant. Carter/Thera and Daniel/Carlin join him and sit down. Carter and O'Neill look at Daniel.]<br />

So?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
So?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin looks at O'Neill/Jonah]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Do you have the same dream?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
(sarcastically)<br/><br />
About you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
No, about the shimmering circle of water!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
No, my dreams are about&hellip;other things!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Tor said we had to escape. He also said we had to remember. Remember what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Well I remember when I was foreman anyone caught doing what we’re doing now had their rations cut in half for a month.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
We’ll have to risk it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin looks unconvinced.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
What if our memories have been somehow altered?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Well if that’s true then we cant be sure of anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
My memory’s fine!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Really?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Yeah!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
What did you do in the mines?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I mined.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
No&hellip;what did you do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I remember shovelling ore into a cart.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
And?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I did that a lot.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He stares at Daniel/Carlin who is smirking.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
I remember a feeling of cold and darkness.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
And that’s where the two of you met?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Yeah!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Really?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Sure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera looks unconvinced of this.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
So what’s this important thing we’re supposed to be doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
I told you I don’t know. I keep trying to remember but all I can come up with is images of this place.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
But if you’re right then everything we remember about this place is a lie!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
It’s like a façade. It only works if we don’t dig too deep beneath the surface, if we don’t question it. So that’s what we have to do. We have to question every assumption, everything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
We have to keep this to ourselves. If the others heard us talking this way they’d think we were night sick.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
What if we are night sick?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
I don’t think so sir!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill/Jonah and Daniel/Carlin look surprised at this.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
You just called Jonah sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera looks at O'Neill/Jonah surprised at what she said. He raises an eyebrow in question.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Well it’s an expression, isn’t it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[We see Hammond looking down from the briefing room onto the gate room. Technicians are attending to the gate. Fraiser walks into the room and Hammond turns to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Sir I have those medical reports that you were waiting for. Major Grigg has suffered some minor frostbite but the rest of his team are just fine.</blockquote> <br />
<br />
[Fraiser puts the medical reports onto the table. Hammond looks down at the gate again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Thank you doctor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Fraiser walks over to Hammond concerned. He appears to be angry.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Any word from the planet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I spoke to administrator Calder about an hour ago. He regretfully informed me that the search of the city turned up nothing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
So that’s it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Fraiser seems annoyed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Short of going to war all we can do is break off diplomatic relations and I’m not authorised to do that yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
I take it they have something we want.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
They’re quite advanced in metallurgical and chemical technologies.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Well we must have something they want or they wouldn’t have proposed trade?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Stargate technology, gate addresses.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Well I understand that, I mean they’re surrounded by ice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
As far as I’m concerned they need us a hell of a lot more than we need them. Apparently administrator Calder doesn’t seem to think so. Frankly I think he likes things just the way they are.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
That doesn’t leave you with many options does it sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond turns to face Fraiser.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
No it doesn’t, which is why I’ve ordered Major Griff to draw up a covert search and rescue plan!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Well if you’re looking for volunteer’s sir&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Thank you doctor. I’ll keep that in mind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Fraiser smiles and walks away leaving Hammond to stare at the gate.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MEAL CHAMBER'''<br />
<br />
[We see Kegan doling out food to Daniel/Carlin and the workers waiting in the line. Daniel/Carlin takes a piece of bread with it and walks over to where Carter/Thera and O'Neill/Jonah are eating. He sits down with them and gives Carter/Thera his bread. She takes it gratefully.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Any more dreams?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin is hungrily eating his food.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
I saw the pool of light again. Except this time we were all there including Tor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I dreamed about mining&hellip;naked.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera looks at him in surprise.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Thera?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
A lot of numbers and letters keep popping into my mind&hellip;SG-1, DHD, GDO.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
It sounds like gibberish to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Well it must mean something.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill/Jonah suddenly looks to one of the fellow workers who is finishing eating from a large dome bowl. He stares at the bowl.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'Neill/JONAH<br/><br />
(to worker)<br/><br />
Excuse me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He gives the worker his bowl of food for the worker's empty dome bowl. O'Neill/Jonah stares at the bowl in his hands. Carter/Thera looks at him puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Jonah?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill/Jonah puts the bowl down with the bottom facing up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
That means something.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
What is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I don’t know yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly O'Neill/Jonah has a vision. He is standing wearing his work clothes looking out of the window in Administrator Calder’s office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Very impressive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[In the eating area O'Neill/Jonah continues to stare at the bowl.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;EATING AREA&mdash;LATER'''<br />
<br />
[We see the workers returning their bowls after finishing eating. Daniel/Carlin puts his bowl back and Kegan walks up to him with her arms folded. She looks annoyed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Well I see you made some new friends!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Yeah!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Carlin?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
I’m sorry Kegan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He walks away from her.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;UNDERGROUND MEDICAL AREA'''<br />
<br />
[We see Teal'c/Tor lying in a bed. He is covered in sweat and appears to be very ill. A medic and Brenna are standing looking down at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEDIC<br/><br />
I don’t understand, his condition's getting worse. Here let me check his wound.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The medic reaches for the bandages on Teal'c but Brenna stops him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Under no circumstances are you to remove those bandages&hellip;just make sure he continues to eat and drink.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She walks away from the confused medic. The medic turns to another patient and suddenly Teal'c/Tor opens his eyes. He looks around to make sure no-one is looking and then begins to undo the bandage around his middle.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REST AREA'''<br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill/Jonah and Carter/Thera sat next to each other in a corner of the plant.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I remember something. There was a man. He’s bald and wears a short sleeve shirt and somehow he’s very important to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera looks as though she is trying to remember this.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I think his name is Homer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
It doesn’t ring a bell.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Damn. You?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Just a lot of vague images.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She leans over and rests her head on his shoulder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
You know there are things about this place that I like.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Really?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She looks at him and smiles and he understands what she means.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Would it mean anything if I told you I remember something else?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Feelings.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Feelings?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I remember feeling feelings.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
For me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
(sarcastically)<br/><br />
No, for Tor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera laughs at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I don’t remember much. But I do remember that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
So&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
So&hellip;I’m just saying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Well then I feel better.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PLANET EXTERIOR&mdash;NIGHT'''<br />
<br />
[We see the lights of the city through the dome at night.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CALDER'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[We see Calder looking out of his office window as Brenna is talking to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
(worried)<br/><br />
For some reason Tor seems to be having an adverse reaction to the memory stamp. I think he may be dying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Workers die. What about his friends?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
I’ve received a report, they’ve been gathering together in secret. Administrator I think they’re starting to remember. Their brain chemistry is slightly different than ours. That might be the reason&hellip;but we can re-stamp them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
No&hellip;No I think it was time they found out what it is like outside.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns to look at Brenna.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
All they really did was disapprove of our treatment of the workers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
No, no. No they did much more than disapprove. They passed judgement on us Brenna. I’m simply doing the same.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Yes sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Brenna, if for some reason you can’t comply with my orders&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
It’s an honour to serve administrator.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Yes it is.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna turns and leaves.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SLEEPING AREA'''<br />
<br />
[We see the workers all asleep in their bunks. The camera pans up to O'Neill/Jonah who is lying awake on his bunk. He reaches under his pillow and retrieves the bowl. He puts it on the bed and stares it trying to remember. Suddenly he has a memory of standing in Calder's office again. He looks at the bowl and is turns into the city dome.]<br />
<br />
'''FLASHBACK'''<br />
<br />
[In Calder's office we see O'Neill turn around from looking out of the window. He is wearing his work clothes but as he turns they change into his BDU’S.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Very impressive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see Calder sat watching him at his desk eating something.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'Neill<br/><br />
Too bad it’s a lie!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Calder doesn’t seem alarmed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
I don’t understand.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
While we were on the grand tour Carter spotted some ventilation shafts coming out of apparently no-where. We checked it out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
You were supposed to stay with your escort.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I can see how you wouldn’t want outsiders to know about the slave labour force you keep underground.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
They’re merely workers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
And what made them so worthy of that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Colonel&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill slowly walks towards Calder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Administrator, I will not recommend trade with a culture that enslaves its own people. I don’t care what kind of technology you have to offer!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Calder leans forward in his chair.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
This system of government has allowed our culture to survive an ice-age.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Yep&hellip;what’s the secret? Starvation, torture&hellip;what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Our methods are actually quite civilised.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Really?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Yes, in fact&hellip;I’ll show you!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''END FLASHBACK'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SLEEPING AREA'''<br />
<br />
[The morning alarm sounds and the barracks lights come on. O'Neill/Jonah wakes up and sees the bowl on his bed. He gets up hiding it under his pillow and walks over to Carter/Thera's bed where she is awakening.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I think I know what’s going on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A worker approaches them and they look up startled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WORKER<br/><br />
Jonah, Thera, report to Brenna's office.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They both look worried.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MEDICAL AREA'''<br />
<br />
[We see the same medic as before sitting on a chair watching over Teal'c/Tor in the bed. Teal'c/Tor is asleep. Two workers approach and lift Teal'c/Tor's stretcher away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEDIC<br/><br />
(alarmed)<br/><br />
What is it? What are you doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WORKER<br/><br />
We’ve got orders to take him up to Brenna's room.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The workers carry Teal'c/Tor away and we see that the bandages from Teal'c's stomach are left on the hospital bed. The medic picks them up confused.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRENNA'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[We see that O'Neill/Jonah, Carter/Thera and Daniel/Carlin are waiting in the office as the two workers carry Teal'c/Tor in on a stretcher. They all look puzzled. Brenna is also in the office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
(to workers)<br/><br />
Put him down over there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The workers lift Teal'c/Tor and lay him onto a bed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
(to workers)<br/><br />
You’re dismissed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The workers leave the office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
What’s the matter with him?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
He’s dying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
(puzzled)<br/><br />
Kel-no-reem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera and Brenna look at him puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
I’m not sure what it means but I think&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
It’s kind of meditation. He has to do it every day or he gets sick. Right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
So why doesn’t he do it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Because he can’t remember.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill is correct. As you have began to suspect all of you have had your memories altered.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They all look at her shocked. Brenna looks at Carter]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
You are Major Samantha Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna looks at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Doctor Daniel Jackson and your friend here is named Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Where does Homer fit in?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
You are all they sent down. At first I thought it was necessary to protect the city but now things have gone too far&hellip;you don’t belong here. You need to return to your own world. Your memories will come back more quickly once you return home.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Home?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[All three look completely stunned.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Yes, through there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She motions to the wall and presses a button. The wall slides open to reveal a doorway but Calder walks in with two armed guards. Brenna looks shocked to see them. The guards aim their guns at SG-1.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Administrator Calder.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Brenna, I must say I’m disappointed but not surprised. You see I’ve been watching you growing weaker for some time now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
I’ve been coming to my senses.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Either way. You’re no longer of any use to me!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He aims a gun at Brenna and she backs away frightened. Calder shoots and Brenna screams and falls backwards grasping her right arm. Calder motions for the guards to surround SG-1.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
As for the rest of you, it’s time you found out what the surface of the planet is really like.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly Teal'c stands up and attacks one of the unsuspecting guards. He disarms him. Daniel then attacks Calder and get his gun and at the same time O'Neill attacks the other guard disarming him. He aims the weapon at Calder. Carter rushes to Brenna's side.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Teal'c, you alright?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I am.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
When I removed my bandages and realised I was unlike the rest of you I began to remember. I placed myself in a deep state of Kel-no-reem for the night. My symbiote restored me to health.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Brenna should be alright if we can get her to the err&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Infirmary.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
You’ll never make it back to the Stargate!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill still has the gun aimed at Calder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
You know something. We’ve got you as a hostage. I don’t see a problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Jonah!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Jack!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Right&hellip;we can’t. We have to tell these people what’s happening.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Calder considering this.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Yep&hellip;you’re right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They open the door to the plant and take Calder out into it. Carter makes sure Brenna will be ok and follow them. On the walkway above the plant O'Neill holds the gun to Calder’s head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to workers below)<br/><br />
Everybody! Can I have your attention please?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The workers all stop and look up. They are shocked.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I’d like to introduce you to someone. This man&hellip;<br/><br />
(he points to Calder)<br/><br />
&hellip;has been keeping you locked up down here while he and his friends live it up on the surface.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
What are you talking about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Calder looks panicked.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Don’t listen to them. They shot Brenna!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The workers all murmur in shock.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
It’s true!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Listen to me! There’s a big domed city up there. Full of people you serve! They’ve been hiding the truth from you your entire lives!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
It’s a lie!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks down to Kegan.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
He’s telling the truth Kegan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan looks up puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
You can’t let them get away!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
(to Calder)<br/><br />
Who are you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Calder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
That’s a good question.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
(panicked)<br/><br />
My name is Calder. I was a supervisor in the mines before I was transferred!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah whatever!<br/><br />
(To workers)<br/><br />
You want proof?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He looks at the sky lights in the ceiling and aims the gun at one of them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
No!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill fires and shatters the sky light. Glass comes down and rays of sunlight. The workers all scream in panic expecting snow and ice to come pouring in. The workers all look shocked at the sunlight.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to workers)<br/><br />
No ice! No snow!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
You’ve accomplished nothing! These people will never be accepted in the city!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I think you’re right about that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
That’s why we’re going to offer them a better place.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
There’s this nice little tropical planet out there where the beaches go on forever! This I remember clearly. You and your people can do your own shovelling for a while.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
You’re destroying a way of life!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
That’s a shame&hellip;Teal'c, show these people how to get out of here!</blockquote><br />

[Teal'c goes to help the workers. O'Neill, Daniel and Carter go back into Brenna's office. Calder is left on the walkway.]<br />

'''INT&mdash;BRENNA'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Brenna is cradling her injured arm. Carter is standing next to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
It hurts!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I know. Try not to move it. We’re going to take you home with us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She helps Brenna to stand and Daniel escorts her out of the office. O'Neill and Carter stare at each other for a moment. They look uncomfortable.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So&hellip;Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That bald man you were trying to remember&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
General Hammond.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She smiles at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
He’s from Texas you know. It’s all coming back!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks down. He is thinking.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Sir&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He looks at Carter at last.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Let’s go home.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes sir.</blockquote><br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;OFF-WORLD'''<br />
<br />
[Panorama of ancient ruins; camera closes in on crumbling ziggurat.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ZIGGURAT ENTRANCE'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is studying the ancient writings on a large 'door' of some kind.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey, I thought you said this was the main entrance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It is. We just need to find a way to open this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I do not recognize the symbols.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It's Babylonian. Cuneiform. It's incredible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What is?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, unlike Phoenician Ugarite cuneiform, these characters are pictograms rather than representations of unique sound symbols.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Does it say how to open the pyramid?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Ziggurat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You said pyramid. It's a ziggurat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. Open the door.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, it might not be so easy. I'm going to have to go back to Earth for a reference.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
How hard could it be?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Very. It's a dead language. I mean, I doubt if anyone's even stood here for 3,000 years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What you got there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
An empty pack of cigarettes. They're Russian.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''END TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;BASE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(voice only)<br/><br />
Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(voice only)<br/><br />
The Russian Stargate Program was only up for 37 days.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We've seen their logs and the list of planets they visited, and P2X 338 was not one of them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps they deceived us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
At the moment all they're admitting to is that there may have been some unauthorized use of their Gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What's that supposed to mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
This is Major Valentine Kirensky. He was serving under Colonel Sakolov at the base in Siberia. It now appears that he was also taking secret orders from certain hard-line elements in Russian Army Intelligence. He disappeared six days before we were called in to deactivate the Russian Gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And they think he went off-world?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Along with two other officers and an archaeologist named Alexander Britski.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I know his work. He's an expert on ancient Mesopotamia.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why would they go behind Sakolov's back?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps for the same reason the NID conducted off-world operations without the knowledge of Stargate Command.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
To steal alien technology at any cost.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
But why 338 as opposed to any other planet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
That has yet to be determined.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
If they went through the Gate before everyone at the Russian base was killed, they could still be out there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's doubtful they would've survived this long. The planet's surface temperature averages 135 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Shade? I don't remember shade.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They could've taken shelter in the temple.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, so they figured out how to open the door?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'll figure out the door.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Should they not have attempted to return by now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Not without exposing their operation. I mean, they could still be waiting for some kind of signal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
She's got a point, sir. Russian commandos can be pretty hard-core. They'd wait forever before they'd violate mission protocol.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I'm aware of that, Colonel. That's why we're going to allow a second Russian team to accompany you back to the planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Excuse me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
It's going to be a joint mission--full disclosure, full cooperation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
May I ask why, sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
In fact, the Russians have been pushing for more direct involvement in the Stargate Program for quite some time. We've been resisting, but in this particular case, it might be useful to have them onboard.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes, well, General, you know, I'm a big fan of the Russians, and international relations are a bit of a hobby of mine. However, I do believe that SG-1 should handle this one&hellip; alone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
The decision's been made, Colonel. They're on their way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT--DANIEL'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter and O'Neill are just entering from the hallway. Daniel is at his computer.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Because we have an agreement, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. Did you see them holding up their end of it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, have we?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
If Thor's ship hadn't crashed into the ocean, we would never even have told them about the Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey, whose side are you on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm just saying that we should at least try to work together.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter, when you go through that Gate, you gotta know your team members are watching your six.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Actually, in Russian, they'd be watching your shest.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Which I suppose is neither here nor there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Have you figured out how to open that pyramid yet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Ziggurat. And yes, I think I have. In order to expedite matters, the Russians e-mailed me the entire report of their archaeologist, Dr. Britski. The temple is dedicated to the Babylonian God, Marduk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And Marduk was a Goa'uld?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, it seems likely. The word "Babylon" literally means "Gate of the Gods," so if there is a connection, it wouldn't surprise me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Telephone rings. Daniel gets it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hello?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel listens.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel hangs up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The Russians are coming.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The Russians are waiting. Major Vallarin gets himself a coffee, tastes it, and grimaces.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
(In Russian)<br/><br />
Ugh! The greatest superpower on Earth, and they can't make a decent cup of coffee.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colonel Zukhov turns away from the windows to the Stargate room, which are blocked by the blast doors.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Nice view.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
Oh, yeah.<br/><br />
(Sees SG personnel coming)<br/><br />
Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Good morning, gentlemen.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And ma'am. There's a ma'am, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
At ease. You must be Colonel Zukhov.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
It's a pleasure to meet you, General Hammond. Allow me to introduce Major Vallarin, and Lieutenants Marchenko and Tolinev.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Welcome to Stargate Command. This is Colonel Jack O'Neill, Major Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson, and Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
The famous Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hmm?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
I believe we have a mutual friend.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Dr. Svetlana Markov.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
She spoke very highly of all of you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Before we proceed, perhaps you would like to get some rest and maybe something to eat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
We took the precaution of eating before we came.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
What Colonel Zukhov means is that we'd like to get to work as quickly as possible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Very well. Dr. Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel goes to large screen, dims lights, and starts a PowerPoint presentation.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Two years ago, Dr. Alexander Britski began an excavation near Rafha in Southern Iraq. He found several stone tablets engraved with Babylonian cuneiform, and one with a set of symbols he didn't recognize.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Gate coordinates.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
In fact, the coordinates for P2X-338. Dr. Britski had no idea of their significance, but someone must have recognized something, because the results of the dig were never published, and the whole thing became classified.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Wait a minute. Two years ago, the Russians hadn't even seen a Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
But they did have a DHD--the one discovered by the Germans in 1906 and taken by the Red Army at the end of the Second World War.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So when they finally got their program up and running, they must have added P2X 338 to the list of addresses supplied by Colonel Maybourne.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That doesn't explain why they didn't just send a regular team.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Did Dr. Britski discover anything that might suggest why they singled this planet out?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Along with the coordinates, the tablet included a reference to something called "The Eye of Tiamat." It was a large jewel of some kind which supposedly endowed Marduk with great magical abilities.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That wouldn't be why you folks wanted to keep this quiet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Need I remind you, Colonel, that the United States has operated a Stargate in secret for years with the express purpose of obtaining alien technology.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That was before we had an agreement to share information.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
You took it upon yourselves to represent the interests of the entire planet without consulting anyone. You exposed the world to countless dangers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
At least we dealt with them. It only took you folks what, a month, to find something you couldn't handle.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Gentlemen, please. We seem to have gone a little bit off-topic here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
Dr. Jackson, what about the entrance? Can you get us inside?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Uh, yeah. The engravings of the entranceway are a kind of code. It's like a giant combination lock. It's just a matter of activating the correct symbols in the proper sequence.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I have the utmost confidence in your abilities, Doctor.<br/><br />
(To O'Neill)<br/><br />
You have a go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Swell.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;HALLWAYS OF SGC'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Zukhov are on their way to the Gateroom.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Is that a P-90, Colonel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
50-round horizontal clip, 900 armor-piercing rounds per minute. Feel the weight of that sucker.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Impressive&hellip; Though I prefer the Russian Zastava M85.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Those are made in Yugoslavia, aren't they?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
(via Control Room intercom)<br/><br />
Chevron 7 locked.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Gate activates.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
SG-1, move out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 goes through the Gate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
(in Russian)<br/><br />
Stay in close formation. If you get separated, maintain contact on channel 3.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Russians salute him and head out through the Gate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What was that all about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
I was just wishing them the best of luck.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Right. Look, Zukhov, let's get something straight here. I'm the ranking senior officer on this mission.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
This is a joint operation, and we are of equal rank.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Which means you should appreciate the need for a clear chain of command.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Of course.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/> <br />
(via Control Room intercom)<br/><br />
Colonel? Is there a problem?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL & ZUKHOV<br/> <br />
(at the same time)<br/><br />
No, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond waves them on to the Stargate. At the top of the ramp, O'Neill gestures Zukhov in.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
After you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Zukhov enters. O'Neill gives Hammond a grimacing little smile. Gate shuts down.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;RUINS'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ZIGGURAT ENTRANCE'''<br />
<br />
[Everyone is waiting on Daniel, who is reading and studying the entrance to the ziggurat. They've clearly been waiting for some time.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Daniel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Just about there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You said that an hour ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Look, if you want to give this a try, be my guest.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter, break out the C4.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay, I got it. It's a standard retelling of the Babylonian creation myth. Marduk slays the winged serpent Tiamat. He cuts her in two. He uses half of her to create the sky and the other half to create the earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
How does that help us, Dr. Jackson?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, you see, some of the text has been deliberately placed out of order. Only a priest of Marduk would be able to spot the discrepancies.<br/><br />
(He looks for places to press)<br/><br />
Here.<br/><br />
(Stone moves in)<br/><br />
Here.<br/><br />
(Stone moves in)<br/><br />
And here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Stone moves in. Entrance opens with great shaking of the ziggurat, stones falling.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Nice job.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ZIGGURAT PASSAGEWAYS'''<br />
<br />
[Dark and dusty. Crumbling. Stone dust falling, giving scene a smoky appearance.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This doesn't seem very stable.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It's over 4,000 years old.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Which way?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don't know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
We should split up. You take your team down here, and we'll go down there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right, but Teal'c goes with you&hellip; for your own protection.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
And perhaps you should take Lieutenant Marchenko. For the same reason.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Fine. Move out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Marchenko&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He speaks in Russian].<br />
<br />
[The teams split up. Carter finds someone leaning against a wall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Identify yourself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARCHENKO<br/><br />
(In Russian)<br/><br />
Identify yourself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Flashlights show it's a skeleton in military rags.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter checks out the body.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
One of yours?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARCHENKO<br/><br />
Da.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
If these men disappeared 10 months ago, how could one of their bodies completely decompose that fast?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It didn't decompose. This skeleton's covered in tiny teeth marks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Something ate this guy?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Stripped the flesh right from his bones.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARCHENKO<br/><br />
(In Russian)<br/><br />
Holy shit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You can say that again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SARCOPHAGUS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Zukhov's team has find a room with a sarcophagus.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It appears to be a sarcophagus.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ZIGGURAT PASSAGEWAYS'''<br />
<br />
[Marchenko covers the skeleton with a jacket.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Zukhov, this is O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/> <br />
(via radio)<br/><br />
What is it, Colonel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We found one of Kirensky's men. He's dead. Exercise extreme caution.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Understood. We found a sarcophagus. We're investigating.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Negative. Hold your positions till we get there. Zukhov, respond. Zukhov!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Zukhov doesn't respond; speaks in Russian to his people, who move toward the sarcophagus.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Damn it. Fall back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SARCOPHAGUS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You are disobeying a direct order.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
I trust Colonel O'Neill won't take it personally.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[When Zukhov steps up on sarcophagus platform, he sets off a booby trap. A loud noise begins, similar to the sound the ziggurat entrance made upon its opening. Zukhov curses and shouts orders to his team in Russian as the ziggurat begins to shake and crumble further. Stone blocks begin falling. They all run toward the entrance of the ziggurat. Along the way they join O'Neill's team. Marchenko runs ahead to the ziggurat entrance and attempts to stop the descending doorway.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey! Get out of there!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLINEV<br/><br />
Marchenko!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Marchenko is crushed, and the entrance is buried in stone. They are left staring at the blocked exit, knowing the man is dead and they are trapped.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SARCOPHAGUS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill tests the booby trap, but it cannot be reset.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Interesting trap. It doesn't really protect the sarcophagus but it does lock you in with it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I told you to hold your position!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
The mission requires that we thoroughly explore the area.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I gave you an order!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Someone would have set off the trap eventually. It is just as well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
One of your own men is dead! Where I come from, that tends to make a commander just a little upset!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Where I come from, casualties are to be expected.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What?!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel, we still need to find a way out of here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Shouldn't we open this first, make sure there's no one home?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Teal'c, have you ever seen anything like this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed I have not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's like someone tried to seal the sarcophagus from the outside.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Kirensky's team must have cut it open with a blowtorch.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Open it up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel tries.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
There's no crystal. There's no button to open it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, for crying out loud. I'll do it myself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He sticks a knife in the opening and levers enough space for fingers.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Pull.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They pull it open, and Carter has her gun ready to fire. Inside they find a skeleton in typical Goa'uld finery, though it's now rotted from age.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So much for Marduk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
I thought a sarcophagus could keep one alive indefinitely.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps it malfunctioned.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, but I don't think that's what killed him. These bones exhibit the same markings as the skeleton we found. Whatever killed the Russian soldier killed the Goa'uld as well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
How'd it get in there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I don't know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Better question is, where is it now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;A ZIGGURAT PASSAGEWAY'''<br />

[In one passage, we see a cocoon up high on the wall, with something moving inside. The cocoon rips open and legs protrude.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SARCOPHAGUS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, we've got a problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We've got a lot of problems, Carter. Can you be a little more specific?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We can stretch out our food rations, but our water's limited to five days.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We won't be here that long.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLINEV<br/><br />
So now what do we do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
We can use plastic explosive to blast a hole in the entrance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. That might work. It might also bury us under a ton of ziggurat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
The Colonel is right, Major. The time has not yet come for such desperate measures.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What about this writing? Any mention of a back door?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No. This portion of the text deals with the final fate of Marduk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I think we know the final fate of Marduk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, apparently, he was such an evil tyrant that his own priests rebelled against him. They sealed him in the sarcophagus and placed some thing in there with him. There's no direct translation for the word, but I'm assuming it's a reference to the creature that ate him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Are you saying he was eaten alive?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The sarcophagus would have done its best to continually keep him alive, so&hellip; it probably would have taken a while.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLINEV<br/><br />
(In Russian)<br/><br />
My God.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Okay, that's officially the worst way to go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It would seem his fate is very well-deserved.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Marduk would have died eventually but the creature must have stayed alive in the sarcophagus until Major Kirensky and his men came along.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They let it out; it killed them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
We've only found one body.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right. Here's the deal. We're gonna search this place top to bottom. We're looking for a way out and the rest of Kirensky's team. Everybody got that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'd like to stay and finish this translation. It might be useful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Fine. The rest of us will pair off. Teal'c, you're with Zukhov, Carter with Tolinev, Major, you're with me.</blockquote><br />

Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />

Hold it. Got something.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLINEV<br/><br />
What is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It looks like some sort of cocoon. It's empty.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Negative.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill, this is Zukhov. I have what appears to be Britski's personal log.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right. Take it back to Daniel. Have him take a look at it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Very well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Zukhov takes the Eye of Tiamat out of Britski's pack and hides it on his person when Teal'c leaves the room.]<br />

It's around here somewhere.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm all right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
What happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The creature attacked us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
I think she's going into shock.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Get her back to the main chamber. Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, it's still alive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, we'll kill it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, that's not what I mean. I sensed a presence.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What are you talking about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The symbiote. The Goa'uld symbiote. It's still alive. It's inside that thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SARCOPHAGUS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Tolinev's neck looks bad.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The creature must have injected her with some kind of venom. Her body's shutting down.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
What can we do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, I've given her a shot of epinephrine. That should buy us some time, but if we don't get her back to the SGC soon, she's not gonna make it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
She's right. The same thing happened to the other team, according to Dr. Britski's journal. The creature escaped when they opened the sarcophagus. It attacked Major Kirensky. He was dead within two hours.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Any mention of what happened to the others?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Two people died when a passageway collapsed, and the last entry reads, "I'm all alone now. There is no escape. Only one course of action remains."</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
A cyanide pill. They were given to all Russian Stargate personnel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill grimaces at Zukhov.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Colonel, we no longer have a choice. We must use the C4.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We're not done searching yet, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Lieutenant Tolinev is running out of time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm well aware of that, Colonel, but we're not gonna risk any more lives until we've exhausted our options.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hey, take a look at this. It's a sketch of an artifact Dr. Britski found inside the sarcophagus. He thought it might be the eye of Tiamat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You guys find anything like this with the journal?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
There was nothing but old equipment and spoiled rations.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Then where is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
Colonel, surely the recovery of this artifact is no longer a priority.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It never was a priority. This was supposed to be a rescue mission.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It would appear there is no one left to rescue.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, I wouldn't say that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ZIGGURAT PASSAGEWAYS'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Carter are exploring one passage, and see a spot of blood on the ground.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Looks like blood.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill. This is Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Zukhov are in another area of the ziggurat.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, go ahead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, Teal'c and I found traces of blood. I think I may have wounded the creature.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, won't its snake fix it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Depends on how bad the injury is, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right. Stay sharp.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
Her pulse is getting weak.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vallarin hears a noise.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
Did you hear that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They both hear it now. Vallarin primes his gun and gets up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
Wait here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes. You go down the dark hallway alone, and I'll wait here in a dark room alone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vallarin goes out into hall following the noises.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ZIGGURAT DEAD END'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
A dead end.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. I guess we should have considered taking that left.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Colonel, we both know there's only one way out of here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Any blast big enough to put a hole in that door is gonna bring the whole thing down on top of us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
I'm willing to take the chance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, well, I'm not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
What about Lieutenant Tolinev?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I thought casualties were to be expected.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
It's obvious you're not capable of taking the necessary risks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, we take risks. But we don't hand out cyanide pills&hellip; and we don't leave our people behind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ZIGGURAT PASSAGEWAYS'''<br />
<br />
[Slightly behind Carter and out of her line of sight, Teal'c finds a used-up glow-stick.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Is it just me or have we been down this passageway before?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(Looking at glow-stick)<br/><br />
Indeed we have.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(sigh)<br/><br />
This place is like a maze.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps we should return&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Something drops on Carter and falls to the ground as she jumps away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Ah!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[It's the alien creature.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's not moving. I'm not sensing anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Nor am I.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c pokes it in the neck with his gun a few times. Then he cuts the neck open with a knife.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
There is no symbiote inside this creature.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It could have left the body when it realized it couldn't heal the wound.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
A symbiote would not survive for very long under those circumstances.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Unless it found a new host.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;RUBBLE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Zukhov finds a new room and he and O'Neill go in to investigate. There isn't much in there.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/> <br />
(over radio)<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Go ahead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, we found the creature. It's dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's good news.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The only problem is the symbiote's no longer inside it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's a bit disconcerting.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, as you know, Teal'c's body is incapable of sustaining a symbiote as long as he carries a larval Goa'uld. And he doesn't sense the presence of a Goa'uld in me. So&hellip; That leaves Daniel, Major Vallarin and, well, the two of you, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Zukhov instantly bring their guns to bear on each other.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Drop the weapon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
I don't think so.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I know it's not me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
And I know it's not me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel, please respond.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Get back to the main chamber. Check on Daniel and Vallarin. I'll see you there in a bit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Roger that, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm not kidding, Zukhov. I'll shoot ya.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
This is beginning to make sense.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
If you were the Goa'uld, you might not want to leave until you found the Eye of Tiamat. It would explain your reluctance to use explosives.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And if you were the Goa'uld, and you'd been stuck in this dump for 2,000 years, you might not think about anything except getting out of here. Which would explain why you're willing to take such an insane risk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Then it would seem we have a problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;A ZIGGURAT PASSAGEWAY'''<br />
<br />
[Someone goes to a recess in a wall and pushes a button. A stone withdraws and a Goa'uld hand device appears in the space behind it. The person, who is in military clothing, reaches in and takes the bracelet. Pulling it up to his face, we see it is Major Vallarin.]<br />
<br />

<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hey, guys, I just finished translating this section&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns to find Carter has her gun, and Teal'c has a zat, pointed right at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Whoa! Hey, what's up?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I do not sense the presence of a Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />

Me neither.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They lower their guns.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So what were you gonna say?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(a bit shaken)<br/><br />
I was going to say that I just finished translating a section of the text. It says that Marduk used to emerge from his temple and appear amongst his people riding a beam of white light.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
A ring transporter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah. And there's a good chance it might be right here in this room.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;RUBBLE ROOM'''<br />

Colonel Zukhov?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
In here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vallarin enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
What is this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
(In Russian)<br/><br />
I believe O'Neill may be the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Don't be an idiot, Zukhov. It could just as well be him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
(Speaking in Marduk's Goa'uld voice)<br/><br />
Very true, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He uses the hand device on O'Neill and sends him flying. Zukhov fires, but Marduk has Vallarin's body encased in a Goa'uld protection shield.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(On ground)<br/><br />
Oh, man.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vallarin advances on Zukhov once he stops firing, after seeing it's doing no good. His eyes glow.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
Where is the Eye of Tiamat?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
I don't know what you're talking about.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
You forget, Colonel, that I retain all the knowledge of my host, and he was well-aware of your secret orders to obtain alien technology. You wish to bring the Eye back to your superiors.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
I have no secret orders.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vallarin backhands Zukhov, knocking him down, then advances on him.]<br />

You lie.</blockquote><br />

We gotta tell the Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />

No, not until we're sure he's not a Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Teal'c, what are you doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We must find the means by which to engage the rings.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c touches parts of a pylon, and a secret compartment opens, revealing the control panel for the rings.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;RUBBLE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Vallarin picks up the P-90.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
An interesting weapon. It's obviously capable of inflicting severe pain, as well as death. Shall I test it on your new friend?</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Stop. I have the Eye.</blockquote><br />

I'm sorry, Colonel. I was acting under orders.</blockquote><br />

Don't give it to him. Don't.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
No one else will die because of me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
Give me the Eye.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Take it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He tosses something to Vallarin, who catches it, but it's not the Eye. It's a grenade whose pin has been pulled. It explodes, and the room begins to collapse. O'Neill gets out of the way just in time.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Geez!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SARCOPHAGUS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The entire ziggurat is crumbling ominously again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What's that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;RUBBLE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill sees the room he just got out of is half-filled with stone blocks, all over the area where Vallarin and Zukhov had been. No human could have survived that. More blocks begin to fall, and O'Neill pulls back farther.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, I'm okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
The Goa'uld was in Vallarin. Zukhov just took him out with a grenade.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, we found a ring transporter. Daniel says it'll take us to another temple a few miles from here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right. I'll be there in a minute.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SARCOPHAGUS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill arrives.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c had been waiting, and comes up close behind him surreptitiously with a zat. When he speaks, it startles O'Neill, who hadn't known he was there.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I do not sense the presence of a Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, good. And I'm fine, by the way. Thanks. How's Tolinev?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
She'll be okay if we get out of here soon. Where's Zukhov?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
He didn't make it. One thing left to do here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;RUBBLE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[A hand with a Goa'uld hand device on it comes up out of the stone blocks.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SARCOPHAGUS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Right, all set. Let's go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vallarin is coming down the hall to the sarcophagus room. One arm, the one that caught the grenade, is gone.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
I will have my revenge.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You know, you guys always say that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter uses a remote to activate something. Vallarin looks where she pointed. There is a pile of C4 and the Russian equivalent, with a timer that has been activated. It's on a fast 10-second countdown. Vallarin looks back at the group just as the rings activate. O'Neill waves goodbye. The temple explodes.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond, O'Neill, and a Russian Colonel are seated, and Lieutenant Tolinev stands before them. The Russian Colonel speaks Russian to the Lieutenant. She answers in Russian and salutes, then turns to go, but stops and looks at O'Neill.] <br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLINEV<br/><br />
Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks up, and she nods at him respectfully. Then she leaves.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RUSSIAN COLONEL<br/><br />
Lieutenant Tolinev corroborates your story.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So she was telling the truth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RUSSIAN COLONEL<br/><br />
She will be debriefed again, of course, once we're back in Moscow, where she can speak more freely.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. I'm sure you'll be able to get her to say whatever you want.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Colonel, this isn't the time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
General, Zukhov's secret orders put us all in jeopardy. I want that on the record.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RUSSIAN COLONEL<br/><br />
Your opinion is already a matter of public record, Colonel. So is the fact that every member of your team survived, yet only one Russian soldier made it back alive. Barely.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, if your people understood the concept of chain of command, none of this&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RUSSIAN COLONEL<br/><br />
No! We are agreed. You were in command. We also know which lives you were willing to sacrifice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
We regret the loss of life and offer our condolences to the families of your officers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RUSSIAN COLONEL<br/><br />
And I'm sure you also regret this Eye of Tiamat was buried along with Colonel Zukhov, never to be recovered.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Yes, we do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RUSSIAN COLONEL<br/><br />
Perhaps it is best to admit we both made mistakes, huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It would be better if you just admitted you screwed up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RUSSIAN COLONEL<br/><br />
I will pass that sentiment along, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, please do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RUSSIAN COLONEL<br/><br />
I'm sure this will have no bearing on our future participation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I wouldn't count on future participation if I were you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RUSSIAN COLONEL<br/><br />
No? I would.</blockquote><br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;WOODED AREA'''<br />
<br />
[A man is lighting a cigarette. A truck approaches on the road and pulls up to two soldiers. The driver and passenger get out and converse in Russian. Ground soldiers open fire on the driver, passenger and others in the back of the truck. The first soldier enters the back of the truck to find a prisoner, whose hat is pushed up to reveal a Jaffa tattoo on his forehead.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;DOWNTOWN AREA'''<br />
<br />
[Carter exits a building in civilian clothes, carrying a gym bag. She proceeds to her car in the parking lot where a white van approaches her. A homeless man watches as three ninja-types exit the white van, fight with Carter and take her. The van speeds away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOMELESS MAN<br/><br />
Ninjas.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''END TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC&mdash;GENERAL HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Inside are Colonel O'Neill, Teal'c and General Hammond.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
The forensic team found nothing in her house. According to one of the neighbors, Major Carter got into her car and left around 8:30 Saturday morning.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's over 48 hours.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel Jackson enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Police found Sam's car in a parking lot at some fitness club twelve blocks from her house.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Anything else?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No witnesses.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
We have no jurisdiction outside this facility, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I know. We can still look, can't we?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond and O'Neill exchange looks.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;HOSPITAL'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is strapped to a bed, struggling to get free.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOCTOR #1<br/><br />
Good morning, Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What's going on? Where am I?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOCTOR #1<br/><br />
In a hospital.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOCTOR #1<br/><br />
We just need to run a few tests.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What tests? Why am I restrained? Stop! NO!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter struggles some more.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PARKING LOT'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOMELESS MAN<br/><br />
Feet, I said. Look at his feet. Huge. Never trust a man with feet that big.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hi, there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOMELESS MAN<br/><br />
Go away. This is my stuff.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I just want to ask you a couple of questions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOMELESS MAN<br/><br />
Got a dollar?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Here's two.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOMELESS MAN<br/><br />
Thanks</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We you around here Saturday?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOMELESS MAN<br/><br />
Why should I tell you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I gave you two dollars.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOMELESS MAN<br/><br />
I thought you were just being generous.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
How generous do I have to get?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The homeless man approaches O'Neill and his money.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOMELESS MAN<br/><br />
You a cop?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Air force. Colonel Jack O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOMELESS MAN<br/><br />
I was in 'Nam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, what company?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOMELESS MAN<br/><br />
Vacation. Long time ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Um, a friend of mine disappeared from around here on Saturday morning. Woman, about 5-9ish, blonde.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOMELESS MAN<br/><br />
You wouldn't believe me if I told you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why not?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOMELESS MAN<br/><br />
Well, I'm just a crazy old guy with a shopping cart full of cans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill shrugs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm just a cynical old Air Force guy with a closet full of National Geographics.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOMELESS MAN<br/><br />
Can I have 'em?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What do you know?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOMELESS MAN<br/><br />
She was feisty, put up a fight.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
With who?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOMELESS MAN<br/><br />
Ninjas. Three, maybe four. Happened fast. They pulled up in a white van, grabbed her. I've been telling the police about ninjas for years. Think they listen?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Right. Okay. Thanks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOMELESS MAN<br/><br />
You're gonna bring me them magazines, right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You bet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC&mdash;DANIEL JACKSON'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is sitting at his computer, with a movie site open on the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So you think Maybourne's a fan of Godzilla movies?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah, he strikes me as more of a Mothra guy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Don't get it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
NID agents use these sites to post coded messages. If I know Maybourne, he's keeping tabs on his old buddies.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay, what kind of message you want to send?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Make it "Hutch, we need to talk". Sign it "Starsky". He'll understands.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel types on the keyboard.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;HOSPITAL'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is being pushed on a gurney through the halls into a large examination room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOCTOR #2<br/><br />
We got the first blood tests back. You're going to want to see this. We found an unusual protein marker as well as traces of an unidentified heavy metal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOCTOR #1<br/><br />
What do you mean, unidentified?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOCTOR #2<br/><br />
Nothing I've ever seen before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOCTOR #1<br/><br />
We better double check these results with the lab in Phoenix.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter stumbles off the gurney, knocking over a cart.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOCTOR #1<br/><br />
She's strong. I gave her enough chloryl hydrate to put down a man twice her size.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter finds a scapel on the floor and slips it into her shirt sleeve.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOCTOR #1<br/><br />
All right, Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The two doctors help Carter up.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PARKING LOT'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill parks his truck and removes a crate from the back. He looks around for the Homeless Man. He drops off the crate and returns to the truck.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Hi, Jack. Don't turn around.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill turns around.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Harry, where ya been? You never write. You don't call.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
I have a gun.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So do I.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
I'm just trying to protect you. I'm a wanted criminal. It's your duty to arrest me and all.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Always thinking of the other guy. How'd you find me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Played a lot of hide and seek as a kid. Funny, I could always find anyone anywhere but they could never find me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Because they didn't want to.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
What do you need Jack?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter's missing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Really?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Bunch of guys in a van took her out of this lot about four days ago. Figured it might be some of yours old friends.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Not the word I'd use for them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What do you know?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You didn't come back into this country and risk execution just to see me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
God knows I could think of a hundred reasons why the NID might want Major Carter. But I swear to you I don't know where she is or why she was taken. Why don't you ask the NID?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Gee thanks. Hadn't thought of that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Try user 4575.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What does that mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Wish I could stay and chat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Harry. We're talking about Carter here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
I know. I'm sorry. I really am. You know how this game is played and the kind of people who play it. You gotta prepare yourself for the possibility that she may not be coming back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Maybourne walks away.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC&mdash;GENERAL HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond and Daniel are present. Hammond is on the phone.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(into phone)<br/><br />
That's all he said? User 4574. I think we know who that is, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PENTAGON'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SIMMONS' OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SECRETARY<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill is still waiting, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
I know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SECRETARY<br/><br />
Look, I'm sorry to bother you again, it's just he's getting a little&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill enters the office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Pissed&hellip; is the word. It happens when you keep someone waiting two hours.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Well, welcome to the Pentagon, Colonel.<br/><br />
(To secretary)<br/><br />
Thank you, Delores.<br/><br />
(To O'Neill)<br/><br />
You have to forgive me, I have a lot on my plate at the moment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, it's just someone's life at stake here. Sorry to take you away from your turkey sandwich.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
It's ham and cheese, actually, and I'm the one who's sorry because obviously you wasted a trip to Washington.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I don't think so.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
You know I was just recently reading about Major Carter's disappearance. I couldn't help but wonder whether glowing aliens had something to do with it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Look, Simmons, I don't expect you just to tell me what's going on but I guarantee this trip will be a waste. If I have to I'll spend the rest of my life in this building getting to the bottom of all this and how it ties to you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Why are you so convinced I have something to do with this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
A reliable source told me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
I think I know who you're referring to, Colonel, and are you telling me you're trusting a convicted traitor?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
More than you at the moment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Look, your opinion of me and this organization has been tainted by the actions of the very man you're talking about.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I doubt very much was acting alone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
The NID is a legitimate organization financed by this government which has been duly elected by the people of this country.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Damn, that has a familiar ring to it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Our mandate is clear</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm a simple man. Explain it to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
We provide vital civilian oversight of top secret military operations.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, and who watches over you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
We're not unaccountable, Colonel, and I admit there's been some minor indiscretions in the past perpetrated by a few renegade individuals but they've been exposed and they will be brought to justice with or without your help.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Maybourne is pointing a finger at you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Yeah, well, hasn't it ever occurred to you that maybe Maybourne is trying to mask his own involvement?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'll need some convincing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Well, we recently traced a deposit made into one of Maybourne's offshore accounts. The transfer took place in a numbered company in the Cayman Islands.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Three million dollars.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Yeah, makes you kind of wonder what he did to earn that kind of money, doesn't it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;HOSPITAL'''<br />
<br />
[Carter looks around, sees the camera turned away from her and starts cutting away at the restraint with the scapel she took earlier.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The holding company that paid Maybourne is a subsidiary of a multinational corporation called Zetatron Industries.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
That sounds familiar.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It's run by a man named Adrian Conrad. He made a couple hundred million in something called fiber optic host channel adapters and then had the good sense to diversify before the tech market bottomed out. Now he's into everything from shipyards to sports wear factories.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
What is his connection to Maybourne?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, isn't it pretty common for ex-spies to sell information to the private sector?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
We know he's had access to extensive files on the SGC, including every member of SG-1.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, the interesting thing is that Adrian Conrad hasn't been seen in public in over six months. His last appearance was a live video feed from their head office in Seattle to a Zetatron stockholders' meeting.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Really not much to go on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The only other thing I can tell you is who authorized the payment. Her name is Diana Mendez. She was Conrad's assitant and the last person known to have seen him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OFFICE OF DIANA MENDEZ'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Working late?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MENDEZ<br/><br />
How did you get in here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Well, the ability to sneak around was an important prerequisite of my former occupation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MENDEZ<br/><br />
What do you want?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
To know about the disappearance of an Air Force major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MENDEZ<br/><br />
I have no idea who you're talking about.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Then maybe I should talk to your boss.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MENDEZ<br/><br />
He's unavailable.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
You know, the other prerequisite of my former occupation was an absence of moral conscience. Really gives you the freedom to do whatever you have to do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Maybourne moves a "desk cannon" on the desk to face Mendez.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MENDEZ<br/><br />
Threatening me doesn't change what I know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
This major disappeared right after we closed our deal. I have very good reason to believe it wasn't a coincidence.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MENDEZ<br/><br />
I'm sure Adrian wouldn't be involved in anything like that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Oh no. Did he tell you what you were buying for him?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MENDEZ<br/><br />
Something valued ten million dollars by a renegade faction of Russian military intelligence, less your cut of course.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Oh, well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MENDEZ<br/><br />
I don't know what it was exactly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
I'm surprised. I thought you two had a very close working relationship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MENDEZ<br/><br />
I do my job and I don't ask questions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
What if I told you there was enough uranium to fuel a terrorist nuke. Just how far would you be willing to go then?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MENDEZ<br/><br />
You're lying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Maybe.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MENDEZ<br/><br />
You made your deposit and you got paid. As far as I'm concerned, our association is finished.</blockquote><br />

Consider it an homage.</blockquote><br />
<br />

What's up, Jack. I thought we trusted each other.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>DOCTOR #1<br/><br />
Hello again, Major Carter. If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you a few questions. I don't know if I mentioned what a thrill this is for me. I mean, I wish we didn't have to do it under these conditions, but given the circumstances&hellip; You're a very unique individual. You may well hold the key to the future of medical science.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You made a big mistake.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOCTOR #1<br/><br />
We know what happened to you. We know that you were the host of an alien symbiote.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm a physicist. I study deep space radar telemetry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOCTOR #1<br/><br />
Please, Major. Don't waste my time with that rididulous cover story. Tell me what you can about the symbiote.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>DOCTOR #2<br/><br />
We have a couple of leads, but nothing definite yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MENDEZ<br/><br />
We're running out of time.</blockquote><br />

'''INT&mdash;MAYBOURNE'S CAR'''<br />
<br />
[Maybourne and O'Neill are in the car, with Maybourne driving.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Technically, I didn't lie. I said I didn't know where Carter was or why she was taken.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What was the three million dollars for?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
I aquired a piece of merchandise from the Russians and sold it to Zetatron.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
A symbiote.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What?!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
On their second mission, back when their gate was active, the Russions ran into a group of Jaffa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I read that report.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
What the report didn't say was the Russians managed to take one of the Jaffa alive and held him in custody ever since.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Man, you gotta love those guys.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
The Russians or the Jaffa?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Both, actually.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Apparently, the symbiote was reaching maturity. I don't know what the Russians had planned. I assume Zetatron wanted it for their biotech division.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So why kidnap Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Carter once had a symbiote inside her and lived to tell about it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
How did they know that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
I don't know. I also don't know how they found out about me and my connections, but when people offer 3 million dollars, you don't ask any questions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why not?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Believe me, Jack, I never thought it was going to come to this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What did you think was gonna happen?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Well, in the right hands, a symbiote could lead to all kinds of medical breakthroughs.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What, you're a humanitarian now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Gonna turn me in?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Actually, that overwhelming desire to shoot you has come back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
But you still need me, Jack.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
Because I know the name of the doctor who took delivery of the symbiote.</blockquote><br />

You know, we make a pretty good team, Jack.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Shut up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAYBOURNE<br/><br />
I'm just saying if you ever get tired of the SGC, we could make more money than you every dreamed of.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey, G. Gordon, don't give me another reason to shoot you, all right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Maybourne is typing at a computer.]<br />

It would appear Adrian Conrad is in the late stages of an extremely rare disorder known as Berchart's syndrome. It's a condition that affects the immune system leaving the body vulnerable to a host of diseases and &hellip; there's no known cure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Except the healing powers of a Goa'uld symbiote.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The only way that would work would be through implantation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
They may be studying the symbiote, trying to isolate and artificially reproduce its healing properties.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Major Carter's experience with Jolinar would make her a valuable source of information.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What are their chances of success?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Well, obviously we've been researching this for some time, sir. Even with unlimited resources, I'd be greatly surprised if they came up with the answers quickly. And if they're trying to save this man's life, they're running out of time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
How do we find him?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Given his condition, he would require constant medical supervision. He must be in some kind of a hospital or well-equipped facility.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Saint&hellip;something. When I was checking out the holdings of that numbered company&hellip;Saint Christina's. It's a hospital in the suburbs of Seattle, it's been shut down for a couple of years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel hands Hammond a piece of paper.]<br />
<br />

My name is Adrian Conrad. You're here because of me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Guards approach.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Back off or I shoot him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CONRAD<br/><br />
Go ahead. If I let you go, I'm dead anyway. Please Major Carter, if you put the gun down, there's a very good chance we could both live.</blockquote><br />

Sorry about this, Major, but I've run out of options.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CONRAD<br/><br />
My immune system's been destroyed. The damage is irreversible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I don't care what's wrong with you. Nothing gives you the right&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CONRAD<br/><br />
The human race has progressed to where we are today because of men who broke rules and risked everything most often because they had no choice. The only thing that can save me is an alien symbiote. You call them Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How do you know about that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CONRAD<br/><br />
We know about the Stargate. Everything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, then you must also know that a symbiote would leave you a prisoner inside your own body.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOCTOR #2<br/><br />
That's why we're working on a way to have it removed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOCTOR #1<br/><br />
And you're the key to that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's beyond our current medical science.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOCTOR #2<br/><br />
You survived your encounter with the alien Jolinar.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That was different. The symbiote made a conscious choice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOCTOR #2<br/><br />
Maybe so, but the process you went through could provide us with the answers we're looking for.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOCTOR #1<br/><br />
You can't deny being able to extract a symbiote from a human host would be a monumental breakthrough.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
A lot of very smart people have been working toward that end already.</blockquote><br />
<br />

You can't. We put that thing inside him and we may never get it out.</blockquote><br />
<br />

We'll find a way.</blockquote><br />

That's good.</blockquote><br />

<br />

Because Adrian didn't approve the method that's ultimately necessary.</blockquote><br />

I can't believe the son of a bitch shot me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We don't know for sure that it was Maybourne.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
We also don't know how Maybourne and Adrian Conrad got by the men surrounding the hospital. However, the local authorities admitted they may have dropped the ball.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
May? May have?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
The FBI and Interpol have been alerted. Unfortunately, we can't tell them everything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The bottom line is, there's a Goa'uld out there somewhere.</blockquote><br />

I expect better treatment than this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Well, right now you have no choice. But once you start delivering on your end of our little bargain, I might be able to move you to better accommodations.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CONRAD/GOA'ULD<br/><br />
You cannot offer anything of equal value to the knowledge I possess.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Simmons smiles.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
I'm not so sure about that.</blockquote><br />
<br />

<br />
'''INT&mdash;ZIGGURAT ENTRANCE'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is studying the ancient writings on a large 'door' of some kind.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey, I thought you said this was the main entrance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It is. We just need to find a way to open this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I do not recognize the symbols.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It's Babylonian. Cuneiform. It's incredible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What is?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, unlike Phoenician Ugarite cuneiform, these characters are pictograms rather than representations of unique sound symbols.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Does it say how to open the pyramid?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Ziggurat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You said pyramid. It's a ziggurat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. Open the door.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, it might not be so easy. I'm going to have to go back to Earth for a reference.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
How hard could it be?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Very. It's a dead language. I mean, I doubt if anyone's even stood here for 3,000 years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What you got there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
An empty pack of cigarettes. They're Russian.</blockquote><br />

'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;BASE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(voice only)<br/><br />
Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(voice only)<br/><br />
The Russian Stargate Program was only up for 37 days.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We've seen their logs and the list of planets they visited, and P2X 338 was not one of them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps they deceived us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
At the moment all they're admitting to is that there may have been some unauthorized use of their Gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What's that supposed to mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
This is Major Valentine Kirensky. He was serving under Colonel Sakolov at the base in Siberia. It now appears that he was also taking secret orders from certain hard-line elements in Russian Army Intelligence. He disappeared six days before we were called in to deactivate the Russian Gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And they think he went off-world?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Along with two other officers and an archaeologist named Alexander Britski.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I know his work. He's an expert on ancient Mesopotamia.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why would they go behind Sakolov's back?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps for the same reason the NID conducted off-world operations without the knowledge of Stargate Command.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
To steal alien technology at any cost.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
But why 338 as opposed to any other planet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
That has yet to be determined.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
If they went through the Gate before everyone at the Russian base was killed, they could still be out there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's doubtful they would've survived this long. The planet's surface temperature averages 135 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Shade? I don't remember shade.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They could've taken shelter in the temple.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, so they figured out how to open the door?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'll figure out the door.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Should they not have attempted to return by now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Not without exposing their operation. I mean, they could still be waiting for some kind of signal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
She's got a point, sir. Russian commandos can be pretty hard-core. They'd wait forever before they'd violate mission protocol.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I'm aware of that, Colonel. That's why we're going to allow a second Russian team to accompany you back to the planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Excuse me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
It's going to be a joint mission--full disclosure, full cooperation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
May I ask why, sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
In fact, the Russians have been pushing for more direct involvement in the Stargate Program for quite some time. We've been resisting, but in this particular case, it might be useful to have them onboard.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes, well, General, you know, I'm a big fan of the Russians, and international relations are a bit of a hobby of mine. However, I do believe that SG-1 should handle this one&hellip; alone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
The decision's been made, Colonel. They're on their way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdashDANIEL'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter and O'Neill are just entering from the hallway. Daniel is at his computer.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Because we have an agreement, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. Did you see them holding up their end of it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, have we?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
If Thor's ship hadn't crashed into the ocean, we would never even have told them about the Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey, whose side are you on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm just saying that we should at least try to work together.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter, when you go through that Gate, you gotta know your team members are watching your six.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Actually, in Russian, they'd be watching your shest.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Which I suppose is neither here nor there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Have you figured out how to open that pyramid yet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Ziggurat. And yes, I think I have. In order to expedite matters, the Russians e-mailed me the entire report of their archaeologist, Dr. Britski. The temple is dedicated to the Babylonian God, Marduk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And Marduk was a Goa'uld?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, it seems likely. The word "Babylon" literally means "Gate of the Gods," so if there is a connection, it wouldn't surprise me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Telephone rings. Daniel gets it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hello?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel listens.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel hangs up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The Russians are coming.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The Russians are waiting. Major Vallarin gets himself a coffee, tastes it, and grimaces.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
(In Russian)<br/><br />
Ugh! The greatest superpower on Earth, and they can't make a decent cup of coffee.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colonel Zukhov turns away from the windows to the Stargate room, which are blocked by the blast doors.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Nice view.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
Oh, yeah.<br/><br />
(Sees SG personnel coming)<br/><br />
Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Good morning, gentlemen.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And ma'am. There's a ma'am, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
At ease. You must be Colonel Zukhov.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
It's a pleasure to meet you, General Hammond. Allow me to introduce Major Vallarin, and Lieutenants Marchenko and Tolinev.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Welcome to Stargate Command. This is Colonel Jack O'Neill, Major Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson, and Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
The famous Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hmm?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
I believe we have a mutual friend.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Dr. Svetlana Markov.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
She spoke very highly of all of you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Before we proceed, perhaps you would like to get some rest and maybe something to eat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
We took the precaution of eating before we came.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
What Colonel Zukhov means is that we'd like to get to work as quickly as possible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Very well. Dr. Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel goes to large screen, dims lights, and starts a PowerPoint presentation.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Two years ago, Dr. Alexander Britski began an excavation near Rafha in Southern Iraq. He found several stone tablets engraved with Babylonian cuneiform, and one with a set of symbols he didn't recognize.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Gate coordinates.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
In fact, the coordinates for P2X-338. Dr. Britski had no idea of their significance, but someone must have recognized something, because the results of the dig were never published, and the whole thing became classified.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Wait a minute. Two years ago, the Russians hadn't even seen a Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
But they did have a DHD--the one discovered by the Germans in 1906 and taken by the Red Army at the end of the Second World War.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So when they finally got their program up and running, they must have added P2X 338 to the list of addresses supplied by Colonel Maybourne.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That doesn't explain why they didn't just send a regular team.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Did Dr. Britski discover anything that might suggest why they singled this planet out?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Along with the coordinates, the tablet included a reference to something called "The Eye of Tiamat." It was a large jewel of some kind which supposedly endowed Marduk with great magical abilities.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That wouldn't be why you folks wanted to keep this quiet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Need I remind you, Colonel, that the United States has operated a Stargate in secret for years with the express purpose of obtaining alien technology.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That was before we had an agreement to share information.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
You took it upon yourselves to represent the interests of the entire planet without consulting anyone. You exposed the world to countless dangers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
At least we dealt with them. It only took you folks what, a month, to find something you couldn't handle.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Gentlemen, please. We seem to have gone a little bit off-topic here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
Dr. Jackson, what about the entrance? Can you get us inside?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Uh, yeah. The engravings of the entranceway are a kind of code. It's like a giant combination lock. It's just a matter of activating the correct symbols in the proper sequence.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I have the utmost confidence in your abilities, Doctor.<br/><br />
(To O'Neill)<br/><br />
You have a go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Swell.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;HALLWAYS OF SGC'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Zukhov are on their way to the Gateroom.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Is that a P-90, Colonel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
50-round horizontal clip, 900 armor-piercing rounds per minute. Feel the weight of that sucker.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Impressive&hellip; Though I prefer the Russian Zastava M85.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Those are made in Yugoslavia, aren't they?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
(via Control Room intercom)<br/><br />
Chevron 7 locked.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Gate activates.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
SG-1, move out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 goes through the Gate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
(in Russian)<br/><br />
Stay in close formation. If you get separated, maintain contact on channel 3.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Russians salute him and head out through the Gate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What was that all about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
I was just wishing them the best of luck.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Right. Look, Zukhov, let's get something straight here. I'm the ranking senior officer on this mission.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
This is a joint operation, and we are of equal rank.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Which means you should appreciate the need for a clear chain of command.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Of course.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/> <br />
(via Control Room intercom)<br/><br />
Colonel? Is there a problem?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL & ZUKHOV<br/> <br />
(at the same time)<br/><br />
No, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond waves them on to the Stargate. At the top of the ramp, O'Neill gestures Zukhov in.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
After you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Zukhov enters. O'Neill gives Hammond a grimacing little smile. Gate shuts down.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;RUINS'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ZIGGURAT ENTRANCE'''<br />
<br />
[Everyone is waiting on Daniel, who is reading and studying the entrance to the ziggurat. They've clearly been waiting for some time.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Daniel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Just about there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You said that an hour ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Look, if you want to give this a try, be my guest.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter, break out the C4.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay, I got it. It's a standard retelling of the Babylonian creation myth. Marduk slays the winged serpent Tiamat. He cuts her in two. He uses half of her to create the sky and the other half to create the earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
How does that help us, Dr. Jackson?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, you see, some of the text has been deliberately placed out of order. Only a priest of Marduk would be able to spot the discrepancies.<br/><br />
(He looks for places to press)<br/><br />
Here.<br/><br />
(Stone moves in)<br/><br />
Here.<br/><br />
(Stone moves in)<br/><br />
And here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Stone moves in. Entrance opens with great shaking of the ziggurat, stones falling.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Nice job.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ZIGGURAT PASSAGEWAYS'''<br />
<br />
[Dark and dusty. Crumbling. Stone dust falling, giving scene a smoky appearance.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This doesn't seem very stable.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It's over 4,000 years old.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Which way?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don't know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
We should split up. You take your team down here, and we'll go down there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right, but Teal'c goes with you&hellip; for your own protection.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
And perhaps you should take Lieutenant Marchenko. For the same reason.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Fine. Move out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Marchenko&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He speaks in Russian].<br />
<br />
[The teams split up. Carter finds someone leaning against a wall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Identify yourself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARCHENKO<br/><br />
(In Russian)<br/><br />
Identify yourself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Flashlights show it's a skeleton in military rags.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter checks out the body.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
One of yours?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARCHENKO<br/><br />
Da.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
If these men disappeared 10 months ago, how could one of their bodies completely decompose that fast?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It didn't decompose. This skeleton's covered in tiny teeth marks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Something ate this guy?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Stripped the flesh right from his bones.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MARCHENKO<br/><br />
(In Russian)<br/><br />
Holy shit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You can say that again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SARCOPHAGUS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Zukhov's team has find a room with a sarcophagus.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It appears to be a sarcophagus.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ZIGGURAT PASSAGEWAYS'''<br />
<br />
[Marchenko covers the skeleton with a jacket.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Zukhov, this is O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/> <br />
(via radio)<br/><br />
What is it, Colonel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We found one of Kirensky's men. He's dead. Exercise extreme caution.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Understood. We found a sarcophagus. We're investigating.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Negative. Hold your positions till we get there. Zukhov, respond. Zukhov!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Zukhov doesn't respond; speaks in Russian to his people, who move toward the sarcophagus.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Damn it. Fall back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SARCOPHAGUS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You are disobeying a direct order.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
I trust Colonel O'Neill won't take it personally.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[When Zukhov steps up on sarcophagus platform, he sets off a booby trap. A loud noise begins, similar to the sound the ziggurat entrance made upon its opening. Zukhov curses and shouts orders to his team in Russian as the ziggurat begins to shake and crumble further. Stone blocks begin falling. They all run toward the entrance of the ziggurat. Along the way they join O'Neill's team. Marchenko runs ahead to the ziggurat entrance and attempts to stop the descending doorway.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey! Get out of there!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLINEV<br/><br />
Marchenko!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Marchenko is crushed, and the entrance is buried in stone. They are left staring at the blocked exit, knowing the man is dead and they are trapped.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SARCOPHAGUS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill tests the booby trap, but it cannot be reset.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Interesting trap. It doesn't really protect the sarcophagus but it does lock you in with it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I told you to hold your position!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
The mission requires that we thoroughly explore the area.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I gave you an order!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Someone would have set off the trap eventually. It is just as well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
One of your own men is dead! Where I come from, that tends to make a commander just a little upset!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Where I come from, casualties are to be expected.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What?!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel, we still need to find a way out of here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Shouldn't we open this first, make sure there's no one home?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Teal'c, have you ever seen anything like this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed I have not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's like someone tried to seal the sarcophagus from the outside.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Kirensky's team must have cut it open with a blowtorch.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Open it up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel tries.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
There's no crystal. There's no button to open it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, for crying out loud. I'll do it myself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He sticks a knife in the opening and levers enough space for fingers.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Pull.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They pull it open, and Carter has her gun ready to fire. Inside they find a skeleton in typical Goa'uld finery, though it's now rotted from age.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So much for Marduk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
I thought a sarcophagus could keep one alive indefinitely.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps it malfunctioned.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, but I don't think that's what killed him. These bones exhibit the same markings as the skeleton we found. Whatever killed the Russian soldier killed the Goa'uld as well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
How'd it get in there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I don't know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Better question is, where is it now?</blockquote><br />
<br />

<br />
'''INT&mdash;SARCOPHAGUS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, we've got a problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We've got a lot of problems, Carter. Can you be a little more specific?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We can stretch out our food rations, but our water's limited to five days.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We won't be here that long.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLINEV<br/><br />
So now what do we do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
We can use plastic explosive to blast a hole in the entrance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. That might work. It might also bury us under a ton of ziggurat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
The Colonel is right, Major. The time has not yet come for such desperate measures.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What about this writing? Any mention of a back door?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No. This portion of the text deals with the final fate of Marduk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I think we know the final fate of Marduk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, apparently, he was such an evil tyrant that his own priests rebelled against him. They sealed him in the sarcophagus and placed some thing in there with him. There's no direct translation for the word, but I'm assuming it's a reference to the creature that ate him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Are you saying he was eaten alive?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The sarcophagus would have done its best to continually keep him alive, so&hellip; it probably would have taken a while.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLINEV<br/><br />
(In Russian)<br/><br />
My God.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Okay, that's officially the worst way to go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It would seem his fate is very well-deserved.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Marduk would have died eventually but the creature must have stayed alive in the sarcophagus until Major Kirensky and his men came along.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They let it out; it killed them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
We've only found one body.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right. Here's the deal. We're gonna search this place top to bottom. We're looking for a way out and the rest of Kirensky's team. Everybody got that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'd like to stay and finish this translation. It might be useful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Fine. The rest of us will pair off. Teal'c, you're with Zukhov, Carter with Tolinev, Major, you're with me.</blockquote><br />

Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />

Hold it. Got something.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLINEV<br/><br />
What is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It looks like some sort of cocoon. It's empty.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Negative.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill, this is Zukhov. I have what appears to be Britski's personal log.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right. Take it back to Daniel. Have him take a look at it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Very well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Zukhov takes the Eye of Tiamat out of Britski's pack and hides it on his person when Teal'c leaves the room.]<br />

It's around here somewhere.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm all right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
What happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The creature attacked us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
I think she's going into shock.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Get her back to the main chamber. Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, it's still alive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, we'll kill it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, that's not what I mean. I sensed a presence.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What are you talking about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The symbiote. The Goa'uld symbiote. It's still alive. It's inside that thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SARCOPHAGUS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Tolinev's neck looks bad.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The creature must have injected her with some kind of venom. Her body's shutting down.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
What can we do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, I've given her a shot of epinephrine. That should buy us some time, but if we don't get her back to the SGC soon, she's not gonna make it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
She's right. The same thing happened to the other team, according to Dr. Britski's journal. The creature escaped when they opened the sarcophagus. It attacked Major Kirensky. He was dead within two hours.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Any mention of what happened to the others?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Two people died when a passageway collapsed, and the last entry reads, "I'm all alone now. There is no escape. Only one course of action remains."</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
A cyanide pill. They were given to all Russian Stargate personnel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill grimaces at Zukhov.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Colonel, we no longer have a choice. We must use the C4.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We're not done searching yet, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Lieutenant Tolinev is running out of time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm well aware of that, Colonel, but we're not gonna risk any more lives until we've exhausted our options.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hey, take a look at this. It's a sketch of an artifact Dr. Britski found inside the sarcophagus. He thought it might be the eye of Tiamat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You guys find anything like this with the journal?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
There was nothing but old equipment and spoiled rations.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Then where is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
Colonel, surely the recovery of this artifact is no longer a priority.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It never was a priority. This was supposed to be a rescue mission.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It would appear there is no one left to rescue.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, I wouldn't say that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ZIGGURAT PASSAGEWAYS'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Carter are exploring one passage, and see a spot of blood on the ground.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Looks like blood.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill. This is Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Zukhov are in another area of the ziggurat.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, go ahead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, Teal'c and I found traces of blood. I think I may have wounded the creature.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, won't its snake fix it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Depends on how bad the injury is, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right. Stay sharp.</blockquote><br />

How is she?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
Her pulse is getting weak.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vallarin hears a noise.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
Did you hear that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They both hear it now. Vallarin primes his gun and gets up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
Wait here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes. You go down the dark hallway alone, and I'll wait here in a dark room alone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vallarin goes out into hall following the noises.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ZIGGURAT DEAD END'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
A dead end.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. I guess we should have considered taking that left.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Colonel, we both know there's only one way out of here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Any blast big enough to put a hole in that door is gonna bring the whole thing down on top of us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
I'm willing to take the chance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, well, I'm not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
What about Lieutenant Tolinev?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I thought casualties were to be expected.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
It's obvious you're not capable of taking the necessary risks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, we take risks. But we don't hand out cyanide pills&hellip; and we don't leave our people behind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ZIGGURAT PASSAGEWAYS'''<br />
<br />
[Slightly behind Carter and out of her line of sight, Teal'c finds a used-up glow-stick.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Is it just me or have we been down this passageway before?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(Looking at glow-stick)<br/><br />
Indeed we have.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(sigh)<br/><br />
This place is like a maze.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps we should return&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Something drops on Carter and falls to the ground as she jumps away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Ah!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[It's the alien creature.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's not moving. I'm not sensing anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Nor am I.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c pokes it in the neck with his gun a few times. Then he cuts the neck open with a knife.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
There is no symbiote inside this creature.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It could have left the body when it realized it couldn't heal the wound.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
A symbiote would not survive for very long under those circumstances.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Unless it found a new host.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;RUBBLE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Zukhov finds a new room and he and O'Neill go in to investigate. There isn't much in there.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/> <br />
(over radio)<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Go ahead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, we found the creature. It's dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's good news.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The only problem is the symbiote's no longer inside it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's a bit disconcerting.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, as you know, Teal'c's body is incapable of sustaining a symbiote as long as he carries a larval Goa'uld. And he doesn't sense the presence of a Goa'uld in me. So&hellip; That leaves Daniel, Major Vallarin and, well, the two of you, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Zukhov instantly bring their guns to bear on each other.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Drop the weapon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
I don't think so.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I know it's not me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
And I know it's not me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel, please respond.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Get back to the main chamber. Check on Daniel and Vallarin. I'll see you there in a bit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Roger that, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm not kidding, Zukhov. I'll shoot ya.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
This is beginning to make sense.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
If you were the Goa'uld, you might not want to leave until you found the Eye of Tiamat. It would explain your reluctance to use explosives.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And if you were the Goa'uld, and you'd been stuck in this dump for 2,000 years, you might not think about anything except getting out of here. Which would explain why you're willing to take such an insane risk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Then it would seem we have a problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;A ZIGGURAT PASSAGEWAY'''<br />
<br />
[Someone goes to a recess in a wall and pushes a button. A stone withdraws and a Goa'uld hand device appears in the space behind it. The person, who is in military clothing, reaches in and takes the bracelet. Pulling it up to his face, we see it is Major Vallarin.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SARCOPHAGUS ROOM'''<br />

<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hey, guys, I just finished translating this section&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns to find Carter has her gun, and Teal'c has a zat, pointed right at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Whoa! Hey, what's up?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I do not sense the presence of a Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Me neither.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They lower their guns.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So what were you gonna say?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(a bit shaken)<br/><br />
I was going to say that I just finished translating a section of the text. It says that Marduk used to emerge from his temple and appear amongst his people riding a beam of white light.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
A ring transporter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah. And there's a good chance it might be right here in this room.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;RUBBLE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Major Vallarin appears in the doorway of the room where O'Neill and Zukhov are still having their stand-off.]<br />
<br />

Colonel Zukhov?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
In here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vallarin enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
What is this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
(In Russian)<br/><br />
I believe O'Neill may be the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Don't be an idiot, Zukhov. It could just as well be him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
(Speaking in Marduk's Goa'uld voice)<br/><br />
Very true, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He uses the hand device on O'Neill and sends him flying. Zukhov fires, but Marduk has Vallarin's body encased in a Goa'uld protection shield.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(On ground)<br/><br />
Oh, man.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vallarin advances on Zukhov once he stops firing, after seeing it's doing no good. His eyes glow.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
Where is the Eye of Tiamat?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
I don't know what you're talking about.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
You forget, Colonel, that I retain all the knowledge of my host, and he was well-aware of your secret orders to obtain alien technology. You wish to bring the Eye back to your superiors.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
I have no secret orders.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vallarin backhands Zukhov, knocking him down, then advances on him.]<br />

You lie.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We gotta tell the Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />

No, not until we're sure he's not a Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Teal'c, what are you doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We must find the means by which to engage the rings.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c touches parts of a pylon, and a secret compartment opens, revealing the control panel for the rings.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;RUBBLE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Vallarin picks up the P-90.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
An interesting weapon. It's obviously capable of inflicting severe pain, as well as death. Shall I test it on your new friend?</blockquote><br />

[He aims at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Stop. I have the Eye.</blockquote><br />
<br />

I'm sorry, Colonel. I was acting under orders.</blockquote><br />

Don't give it to him. Don't.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
No one else will die because of me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
Give me the Eye.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZUKHOV<br/><br />
Take it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He tosses something to Vallarin, who catches it, but it's not the Eye. It's a grenade whose pin has been pulled. It explodes, and the room begins to collapse. O'Neill gets out of the way just in time.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Geez!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SARCOPHAGUS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The entire ziggurat is crumbling ominously again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What's that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;RUBBLE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill sees the room he just got out of is half-filled with stone blocks, all over the area where Vallarin and Zukhov had been. No human could have survived that. More blocks begin to fall, and O'Neill pulls back farther.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, I'm okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
The Goa'uld was in Vallarin. Zukhov just took him out with a grenade.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, we found a ring transporter. Daniel says it'll take us to another temple a few miles from here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right. I'll be there in a minute.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SARCOPHAGUS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill arrives.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c had been waiting, and comes up close behind him surreptitiously with a zat. When he speaks, it startles O'Neill, who hadn't known he was there.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I do not sense the presence of a Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, good. And I'm fine, by the way. Thanks. How's Tolinev?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
She'll be okay if we get out of here soon. Where's Zukhov?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
He didn't make it. One thing left to do here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;RUBBLE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[A hand with a Goa'uld hand device on it comes up out of the stone blocks.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SARCOPHAGUS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Right, all set. Let's go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vallarin is coming down the hall to the sarcophagus room. One arm, the one that caught the grenade, is gone.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VALLARIN<br/><br />
I will have my revenge.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You know, you guys always say that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter uses a remote to activate something. Vallarin looks where she pointed. There is a pile of C4 and the Russian equivalent, with a timer that has been activated. It's on a fast 10-second countdown. Vallarin looks back at the group just as the rings activate. O'Neill waves goodbye. The temple explodes.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond, O'Neill, and a Russian Colonel are seated, and Lieutenant Tolinev stands before them. The Russian Colonel speaks Russian to the Lieutenant. She answers in Russian and salutes, then turns to go, but stops and looks at O'Neill.] <br />
<br />
<blockquote>TOLINEV<br/><br />
Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks up, and she nods at him respectfully. Then she leaves.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RUSSIAN COLONEL<br/><br />
Lieutenant Tolinev corroborates your story.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So she was telling the truth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RUSSIAN COLONEL<br/><br />
She will be debriefed again, of course, once we're back in Moscow, where she can speak more freely.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. I'm sure you'll be able to get her to say whatever you want.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Colonel, this isn't the time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
General, Zukhov's secret orders put us all in jeopardy. I want that on the record.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RUSSIAN COLONEL<br/><br />
Your opinion is already a matter of public record, Colonel. So is the fact that every member of your team survived, yet only one Russian soldier made it back alive. Barely.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, if your people understood the concept of chain of command, none of this&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RUSSIAN COLONEL<br/><br />
No! We are agreed. You were in command. We also know which lives you were willing to sacrifice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
We regret the loss of life and offer our condolences to the families of your officers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RUSSIAN COLONEL<br/><br />
And I'm sure you also regret this Eye of Tiamat was buried along with Colonel Zukhov, never to be recovered.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Yes, we do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RUSSIAN COLONEL<br/><br />
Perhaps it is best to admit we both made mistakes, huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It would be better if you just admitted you screwed up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RUSSIAN COLONEL<br/><br />
I will pass that sentiment along, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, please do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RUSSIAN COLONEL<br/><br />
I'm sure this will have no bearing on our future participation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I wouldn't count on future participation if I were you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RUSSIAN COLONEL<br/><br />
No? I would.</blockquote><br />

<br />
'''INT&mdash;ZIGGURAT ENTRANCE'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is studying the ancient writings on a large 'door' of some kind.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey, I thought you said this was the main entrance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It is. We just need to find a way to open this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I do not recognize the symbols.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It's Babylonian. Cuneiform. It's incredible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What is?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, unlike Phoenician Ugarite cuneiform, these characters are pictograms rather than representations of unique sound symbols.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Does it say how to open the pyramid?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Ziggurat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You said pyramid. It's a ziggurat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. Open the door.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, it might not be so easy. I'm going to have to go back to Earth for a reference.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
How hard could it be?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Very. It's a dead language. I mean, I doubt if anyone's even stood here for 3,000 years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What you got there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
An empty pack of cigarettes. They're Russian.</blockquote><br />
<br />

'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;BASE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(voice only)<br/><br />
Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(voice only)<br/><br />
The Russian Stargate Program was only up for 37 days.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We've seen their logs and the list of planets they visited, and P2X 338 was not one of them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps they deceived us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
At the moment all they're admitting to is that there may have been some unauthorized use of their Gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What's that supposed to mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
This is Major Valentine Kirensky. He was serving under Colonel Sakolov at the base in Siberia. It now appears that he was also taking secret orders from certain hard-line elements in Russian Army Intelligence. He disappeared six days before we were called in to deactivate the Russian Gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And they think he went off-world?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Along with two other officers and an archaeologist named Alexander Britski.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I know his work. He's an expert on ancient Mesopotamia.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why would they go behind Sakolov's back?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps for the same reason the NID conducted off-world operations without the knowledge of Stargate Command.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
To steal alien technology at any cost.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
But why 338 as opposed to any other planet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
That has yet to be determined.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
If they went through the Gate before everyone at the Russian base was killed, they could still be out there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's doubtful they would've survived this long. The planet's surface temperature averages 135 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Shade? I don't remember shade.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They could've taken shelter in the temple.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, so they figured out how to open the door?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'll figure out the door.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Should they not have attempted to return by now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Not without exposing their operation. I mean, they could still be waiting for some kind of signal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
She's got a point, sir. Russian commandos can be pretty hard-core. They'd wait forever before they'd violate mission protocol.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I'm aware of that, Colonel. That's why we're going to allow a second Russian team to accompany you back to the planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Excuse me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
It's going to be a joint mission--full disclosure, full cooperation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
May I ask why, sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
In fact, the Russians have been pushing for more direct involvement in the Stargate Program for quite some time. We've been resisting, but in this particular case, it might be useful to have them onboard.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes, well, General, you know, I'm a big fan of the Russians, and international relations are a bit of a hobby of mine. However, I do believe that SG-1 should handle this one&hellip; alone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
The decision's been made, Colonel. They're on their way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<blockquote>DANIEL<br/>'S OFFICE'''<br />
</blockquote><br />
[Carter and O'Neill are just entering from the hallway. Daniel is at his computer.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Because we have an agreement, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. Did you see them holding up their end of it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, have we?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''FADE IN'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;ALIEN PLANET&mdash;P5S-381'''<br />
<br />
[We see a village tent settlement as the camera pans across the area. Children play in the foreground as the camera pans onto SG-1. They are sitting at a long table pilled with food and surrounded by the villagers. The village leader starts to talk to the gathered villagers.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
Hundreds of villages like this one have cause to celebrate the transportation of our people to this great new land. We are especially honoured today by the presence of those responsible for finding this planet for us and saving us from certain doom. How can we ever repay them?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The leader takes O'Neill's hand and we see that she is blind. Carter and the others smile at her statement.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
(joking)<br/><br />
By not boring then with long speeches, Hedrazar.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The villagers laugh.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
(smiling)<br/><br />
I meant what I said. You are all heroes to my people.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
It was our pleasure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hedrazar takes Eliam’s hand. He is her son and is sitting next to his pregnant wife.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
When my grandchild arrives, it will be the first Enkaran to be born in our new homeland. We will name the child after you, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks up embarrassed from pouring a drink. Carter, Daniel and Teal'c smile.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>NIKKA<br/><br />
Eliam, it seems to be getting cold.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Eliam takes a coat and wraps it around Nikka.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
It seems to be getting colder each day since you visited.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, our atmospheric monitoring equipment is indicating that. We only had a short time to asses the planet’s conditions but it appears that you may be in for a more severe winter than we first predicted.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
We are a hearty people and we will survive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The naquada reactor that we brought you should provide enough energy to keep your new city for a year.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, you’ve certainly accomplished a lot already.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel nods towards the building development nearby.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
And it has only been but one cycle of the moon! Come back in a year and you will find this planet transformed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly a man runs up to the gathering.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALEB<br/><br />
Help! Help me please.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
What is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They all stand to help the running man.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
It is Caleb. He comes from the west.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Some of the villagers catch Caleb as he falls to the ground and help him up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALEB<br/><br />
(panicked)<br/><br />
It’s so big! It destroyed out whole village! You must all flee!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They all look shocked. Caleb is breathing heavily obviously panicked and shocked.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
What are you talking about? Caleb, catch your breath!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALEB<br/><br />
It comes this way!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
What does?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALEB<br/><br />
(to SG-1)<br/><br />
You must see it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P5S-381 STARGATE SITE '''<br />
<br />
[Caleb, Eliam and SG-1 run to near the Stargate then stop, shocked.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALEB<br/><br />
(pointing)<br/><br />
There!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(shocked)<br/><br />
Whoa!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see what is so shocking. It is an alien spaceship, massive in size. It is emitting what appears to be a ‘wall of fire’ onto the planet destroying what is there already. Carter observes it via binoculars.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
What is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see the spaceship close up destroying whatever is in its path.]<br />
<br />
'''END OF TEASER '''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM '''<br />
<br />
[We see a representation of the spaceship on the main computer display on the wall. Hammond, Carter, Daniel and O'Neill are sitting around the table studying it along with reports and photographs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to Hammond)<br/><br />
We estimate the ship to be about two miles in diameter. The curtain of energy it’s using to sweep the landscape stretches for over twenty miles. It seems to be depositing a yet unknown gas like substance that is spreading like a wake behind the ship. Now it extends beyond the range of the UAV but it appears to cover hundreds of miles.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Teal'c said he hadn’t seen the technology before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We’re still waiting for the analysis of the atmospheric samples taken by the UAV but you can see the damage being done.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond studies some photographs of the damage and the ship.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
There don’t appear to be any recognisable or discernible markings on the ship. If there’s any good news it would appear that whoever’s in control doesn’t have any specific intention of attacking the Enkarrans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Why do you say that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It just seems there would be a more direct approach.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
What difference does it make?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to Hammond)<br/><br />
Sir, the Colonel's right. Based on the ships current speed I estimate it will take approximately 26 hours to reach Hedrazar’s village.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
But it’ll take out the Stargate first.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Can we evacuate the Enkarrans in time?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Teal'c’s prepping them right now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The concern is where to send them. Even low level radiation can cause the Enkarrans to go blind. Without the density of ozone on this particular planet they’ll all die.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The only other planet we know with similar conditions is the Enkaran home world and according to Enkaran verbal history there’s no Stargate there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Right, the Goa’uld kidnapped their ancestors with ships.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Even if we had a method of transportation the Enkarans of today would have no concept of where that planet is in the galaxy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I’ve put SG5, 6 and 9 out looking for another suitable planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It’s doubtful they’ll find one in time sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
How long can we keep the Enkarans on Earth here in the mean time?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
A matter of days. Their condition would degrade the longer they were here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
There are thousands of them outside of Hedrazar's village spread a fair distance from the gate. It took us two weeks to transplant them to P5S-381 in the first place.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks directly at Hammond]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
The point is, General, we could never save them all.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CARTER'S LAB '''<br />
<br />
[We see a number of samples the UAV picked up next to the microscope. Carter is examining them as O'Neill and Daniel walk in.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Hey, what have you got?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Then analysis of the atmosphere in the wake of the ship shows a high incidence of Sulphur Dioxide.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks shocked.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Chemical warfare?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel raises his eyebrows at this statement.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I don’t think so sir. Take a look at this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter moves away from the microscope and O'Neill peers down the viewer. We see orange spheres on the microscope.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(sarcastically)<br/><br />
Oh yeah! Little fuzzy orange things!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He looks at Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They’re microbes sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Ah!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The alien ship is depositing them on the planet’s surface.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill moves so Daniel can take a look at the microbes. Daniel looks with his glasses on then takes them off to look again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Now as near as I can tell they bond with Sulphur leeched out of the soil and when they decay they release Sulphur Dioxide.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So the big mean alien ship is trying to stink up the planet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It’s a little bit more than that Sir. The microbes are only deposited after all of the native organisms have been destroyed. I think they’re meant to replace them. Now if my theory is correct we’re looking at the first building blocks of an alien ecosystem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel stands up from looking down the microscope realising what Carter is getting at.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It’s a terraformer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It’s changing the environment to support an entirely different kind of life. An organic system based on Sulphur instead of carbon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So is the ship is allowed to continue the process the whole planet will be remade?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Look, all I know for sure is that the atmosphere on the other side of that energy curtain will not support life!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We then see a shot of gate travel.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;ALIEN PLANET&mdash;P5S-381 '''<br />

[Daniel and O’Neill have travelled back to Hedrazar's village. They are met by Teal'c. There does not appear to have been any preparations made to evacuate the area.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
What’s going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
They do not wish to leave, O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Teal'c annoyed and they all walk over to the main tent in the village.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MAIN VILLAGE TENT'''<br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill, Daniel and Teal'c walk in and over to where Hedrazar, Eliam and other village elders are standing.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Teal'c say’s that you don’t want to go?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
If we go with you to Earth and you cannot find another world on which we could live, we will die there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Give us a chance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
Would there be time to take every Enkaran?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
We cannot leave our people behind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Look, I understand how you feel&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
(interrupting)<br/><br />
Generations ago our ancestors were kidnapped from our home world and taken away in giant ships. Since then we have all prayed for a place that we can call home. Thanks to you we have found it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
We must stay here and fight for it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
With what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
Have you not weapons to aid us?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We’re going to try to communicate with whatever’s on that ship first.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
Clearly they intend to destroy us</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
We don’t know anything for sure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
I know that if the Enkaran people are to die then we shall all die here, together!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;ALIEN PLANET&mdash;P5S-381 GATE '''<br />
<br />
[Carter is setting up some scientific transmitting equipment near to the gate. The alien spacecraft is in the background slowly advancing. O'Neill, Daniel and Teal'c approach from the village.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The transmitter’s now operational sir. Let’s hope we get a bite.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(sarcastically)<br/><br />
Do you think a well placed stinger would do some damage?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks back on the ship.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well we have no way of knowing what material the ship’s made of, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Or if it possesses shield technology.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, just fantasising</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Any intelligence capable of engineering something like that has to be capable of reason.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Question is; will they listen?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Well the real question is; will they have ears?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly SG-1 are enveloped in orange shafts of light and they are ‘beamed away’.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SPACESHIP '''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 materialise inside a room on the spaceship. Everything is pure white in appearance. There are tubes along the walls filled with water with bubbles of air travelling up them. SG-1 are immediately wary. Carter and O'Neill hold their weapons and look around cautiously.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Somebody heard something!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It appears to be a storage facility of some kind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I’m going to assume that we’re onboard that ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at the ‘bubble tubes’. They go high up to the ceiling.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You know, it’s strange. The aliens went to so much trouble to change the atmosphere on the planet. Yet the air in here is perfectly breathable.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They were expecting us!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter touches the walls exploring them. They appear to be sectioned off into compartments.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Should we really be opening draws and things?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As O'Neill is saying this Daniel lightly touches one of the compartments and it springs out to reveal a drawer full of circular containers. Daniel jumps back slightly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(sarcastically)<br/><br />
What did I just say?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks embarrassed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Sorry!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Carter walk over to the compartment. Daniel touches another of the segments and another draw comes out of the wall full of containers. Carter takes one of the containers out and studies it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It looks like some kind of tissue sample.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Of what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I’m not sure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel takes one of the containers and studies it also.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The ship’s terraforming the planet right? What if these are the new life forms it’s creating the planet for?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Recreating an entire civilisation!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(thoughtfully)<br/><br />
Millions of samples.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
So, every one of these things is a&hellip;what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Plant, animal, insect.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Alien?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Who knows?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It’s still just a guess.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A hissing sound of a door opening is hears and a man's voice is heard.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
A good one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They all spin round. Carter and O'Neill have their weapons drawn. We see a man in white robes and the appearance of an Enkaran step through a doorway.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I am Lotan. You need not fear me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(unconvinced)<br/><br />
Yeah&hellip;listen, what’s going on around here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I have been assembled in order to more easily facilitate communication between this ship as you call it and yourselves.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and O'Neill exchange worried glances.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Assembled you say?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I am a biomechanical representation of the beings now occupying this planet. When they were first encountered several Enkarans were scanned by the ship and a randomised but similar appearance was selected.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Wait a second, that was yesterday! This ship analysed a new life form and created a new replica in one day?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan holds out his hands and studies them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Fascinating as I am.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I suppose that explains why you look like an Enkaran.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Sort of!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan stares at Carter with a puzzled expression. Carter immediately raises her gun again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
You are not!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Err no&hellip;we’re from a planet called Earth. This is Major Samantha Carter, I’m Daniel Jackson. This is Jack O'Neill and this is Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel points to everyone as he introduces them. Lotan looks at Teal'c who bows his head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Actually we’re friends of the people your ship seems bent on wiping out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes, that is unfortunate. I was created to deliver a message to them. However by the time I was completed the Enkarans in the immediate vicinity seemed to have disappeared.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, see, that’s called running away. What one does to avoid being slaughtered!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan looks at O'Neill confused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
There are still quite a few Enkarans living on the planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Since you are friends with the Enkarans would you deliver the message to them?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
That would depend.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
When the transformation process was first begun there were no sentient life forms present.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, well there are now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes. Unfortunately for your friends once the process has begun it must be completed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks worriedly at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Are you saying someone went to the trouble of making you just to come here to tell those folks, tough luck, get out?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
We wish no harm to come to the Enkarans. However upon examination of their physiology it had been determined that they will not be able to exist in the planets transformed environment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
So stop transforming it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(to O'Neill)<br/><br />
Jack, they’re just trying to get the point across the best way possible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(angrily)<br/><br />
I know what the point is. It’s the PR guy.<br/><br />
(to Lotan)<br/><br />
I think we should be talking to your boss.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Assumption of hierarchical command structure! Interesting, follow me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks back at O'Neill who nods. Daniel replaces the sample that he has been examining, closes the drawer and they follow Lotan. We see SG-1 follow Lotan into another chamber. Lotan stops by a console and activates it. In the centre of the chamber we see that an image of an alien being is projected. SG-1 all stare at it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
The ship is fully automated. The beings that built it are called the Gadmere.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 look at the Gadmere appearance. It is a completely alien form.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Not exactly ET!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
They have placed all of their knowledge within the ships memory. Science, mathematics, medicine, art, philosophy. Ten thousand years of civilisation. This is their legacy, they were a very advanced race compared to the Enkarans. However they were also peaceful and fell victim to a superior military power. So they built this ship in the hopes that their world would be born again far from the reach of their enemies.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel walks over to the image.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
This is fascinating. I’d love a chance to study some of it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I could provide you with translations. Your language is simple by comparison.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Excuse me, about why we’re here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
The ship has only enough raw material to transform one planet. Now that the transformation has been started it must be finished here or the entire Gadmere civilisation will be lost forever. The Enkarans must leave of they will die.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Alright, now see, right there we’ve got a problem!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The Enkarans cannot leave.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Their lives depend on the very rare environmental conditions that are unique to this planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
That is unfortunate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Lotan amazed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
That’s it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Please explain the situation to the Enkarans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
But&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 are enveloped in the orange light again and are beamed off the ship.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HEDRAZAR'S VILLAGE '''<br />
<br />
[We see Eliam talking to Hedrazar and other villagers. He looks round and sees SG-1 approaching.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
They’re back!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He runs over to SG-1.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
Well&hellip;did you speak with the Aliens?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
In a way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hedrazar sees the looks on SG-1’s faces.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
It did not go well?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
No. It didn’t.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN ENTRANCE&mdash;DAY '''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CONTROL ROOM STAIRS '''<br />
<br />
[Carter and Hammond are walking up the stairs in the control room to the briefing room. Carter is explaining the situation.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The tests on the alien microbes show that they are also vulnerable to UV radiation. That’s probably why they chose this planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
The dense ozone layer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Among other things I’m sure. The same conditions that make P5S-381 ideal for the Enkarans make it ideal for the transformation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They step up into the briefing room where Daniel and O'Neill are sitting at the table. Carter and Hammond sit at the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Can this information be used to stop the alien ship?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I’m not sure how sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
That’s assuming we have a right to stop them at all.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks surprised at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Excuse me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don’t mean to sound insensitive to the Enkarans but we’d be interfering with the rebirth of an entire alien civilisation. Now if you believe Lotan, an incredibly advanced and peaceful one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
So the best society wins here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No I wasn’t saying that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
You’re talking about a bunch of freeze dried aliens whose civilisation was lost a long time ago. The Enkarans are there now!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don’t want to see anything happen to them either.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What about this robot? Could he be convinced to delay the transformation long enough for us to relocate the Enkarans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
The robot’s a robot sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
He’s basically just a messenger sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
But he was created in the image of the Enkarans so that they could relate to him, understand his explanation of what was happening to them and why. Now that could work to our advantage!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(unconvinced)<br/><br />
How?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, it might make him more sympathetic to their plight.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
It’s a robot!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and O'Neill stare at each other with growing tension.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
He is an incredibly advanced alien creation. We shouldn’t just assume that he’s incapable of reason or feelings.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well he didn’t seem very concerned with helping.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well if he’s capable of learning we might be able to get him to think outside his program.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
What if he isn’t and we can’t?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What do you propose Colonel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I say we throw everything we’ve got at that ship!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I’m sorry. I can’t authorise a military strike in this situation, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Look General. I apologise if all this seems to have taken on a personal edge for me. But we spent months getting to know these people. They trusted us and we screwed up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I understand your feeling. We’ve all invested a lot into this operation. No one wants to see it end badly for the Enkarans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks down realising the situation.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
But you’re not going to give me any effective weapons or personnel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Find another way out of this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond looks at the others.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Dismissed</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He gets up and walks away. O'Neill and Daniel look at each other, annoyed.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HEDRAZAR'S PLANET '''<br />
<br />
[Carter, Daniel and O'Neill walk back into the village. They walk up to where Teal'c, Eliam and Hedrazar are waiting. Eliam points at the alien ship in the distance.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
The alien ship draws closer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see the ship is not far from the village.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Hedrazar, you can still save the people of your village.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
Our resolve has not changed. We will not abandon the rest of our people.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Did General Hammond not authorise you to bring additional troops and weapons.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
No he didn’t.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
You brought us to this planet! We trusted you when you told us it was safe!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
You gave us technology to build our cities, to provide heat. Have you not any way to stop the ship?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill pauses and turns back to Carter and Daniel. They look at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
How much naquada is in that reactor we gave them?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and Carter look shocked.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What are you doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Thinking Daniel. Don’t worry about it too much.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Thinking of a way to blow up this ship. I’m not really sure that’s what General Hammond had in mind!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
They’re going to stand there and die. It’s a no won situation but we’re not going to stand around here and watch these people getting slaughtered.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And you're willing to blow up that ship to&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill interrupts him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(angrily)<br/><br />
Give me another choice!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well I don’t have one at the moment!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Apparently time is a factor here!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel says nothing in response. O'Neill looks at Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
How do you make a naquada bomb?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well sir, the reactor was designed specifically to prevent exactly that kind of&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Carter!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter thinks for a moment, obviously not happy with the situation.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Theoretically if I created a feedback loop, the energy would build up instead of being released. There would be a big explosion sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Big enough?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I think so.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Carter, I’m making a choice to help these people. But if you don’t make that bomb I’m out of options.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/></blockquote><br />
I know.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
So I have to order you to do it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She walks away to make the bomb. O'Neill looks at Daniel who obviously doesn’t agree with the situation.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PLANET '''<br />
<br />
[Carter is preparing the reactor. O'Neill is looking at the ship as it is slowly approaching. They are positioned near to a lake away from the village.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
How controlled is this going to be?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The focus of the blast will be aimed upwards. This ridge should protect the village but this is as close as I would put it. I’ve modified this remote to start the feedback loop. About a minute after you press this button the reactor should reach critical overload and blow.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Ship's ETA?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
About five zero minutes sir. But we should detonate before the ship’s directly overhead. There’s no telling what that beam will do to the reactor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
There’s one more thing sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter stands to look at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Once you detonate the reactor there’s no turning back. The overload can’t be stopped.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
Alright.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They walk to the edge of the water and get into the small speedboat there. They start it and head across the water to the village.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HEDRAZAR'S VILLAGE '''<br />
<br />
[Daniel and Teal'c are watching the approaching ship from the village. Teal'c is using binoculars to see the ship. Daniel suddenly turns and walks away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
(turning to Daniel)<br/><br />
Daniel Jackson&hellip;do you not plan on staying?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel turns to face Teal'c. He looks annoyed and has his hands in his pockets.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Err&hellip;no actually I was going to try and talk to Lotan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel turns again to walk away but Teal'c speaks again making him stop.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
If you warn Lotan of our plan it will prove ineffective.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I’m not going to give anything away. I just wanna try to prevent it from being necessary.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
Should you not remain until the return of Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well actually Jack asked me to give him another choice so&hellip;technically I’m following an order.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel this time walks away leaving Teal'c looking after him.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;ALIEN SHIP FROM ABOVE '''<br />
<br />
[We see an aerial view of the ship from high above. Then camera then suddenly zooms down to the ship and we see&hellip;]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SHIP '''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is beamed into a corridor of the ship. He walks down it and sees Lotan standing in a beam of energy with his arms raised above him. As Daniel gets closer the beam stops and Lotan looks at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Hello, Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hi.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel takes his glasses off and removes the sunglasses attachment. He then replaces his glasses and stares at Lotan uncertainly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Are the Enkarans going to leave the planet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Actually the Enkarans have no where else to go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
That is tough luck. While you were gone I took the opportunity to breathe some of the sulphur-based environment being created by the ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
How is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Not good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks around puzzled. Lotan activates a console and a form of music is heard. It is horrible to listen to and sounds like a jumble of different music forms.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
This music has not been heard in over a thousand years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel has his hand over his left ear. He looks as though the music is painful to listen to.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(unconvincingly)<br/><br />
It’s nice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
It sounds very unpleasant to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Really!?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes&hellip;this is not how it should sound.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns the music off. Daniel looks relieved but doesn’t say anything.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
How so?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
It seems as though the design of your ears&hellip;my ears&hellip;is not meant for it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Err&hellip;to be honest with you I’m here to see if you will consider alternate solutions to the problem faced by the Enkarans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan looks at Daniel puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I am not programmed to solve the problem faced by the Enkarans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Right&hellip;let me ask you something. What will happen to you when this is all over?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I will be reintegrated into the ships systems.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You mean you’ll die?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes I suppose that is one interpretation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Do you want to die?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
What I want is irrelevant.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Wouldn’t you like to&hellip;experience a little more of what it’s like to be an Enkaran before you’re reintegrated? I mean, see some of the planet before it’s completely transformed and maybe even meet the people?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
(puzzled)<br/><br />
For what purpose?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Because it might help you consider alternate solutions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I’m not programmed to consider alternate solutions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You said the ship will continue to process without you, correct?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes, as I have said. Its functions are fully automated.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well then no harm done. We’ll just&hellip;we’ll have a look around.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;LAKE '''<br />
<br />
[Carter and O'Neill pull up by the water edge in the boat. They are near the village. They start walking to the village.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, no disrespect intended but I’m having doubts as to whether or not we’re doing the right thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
What is that Carter? The right thing? We brought these people here. They depend on us. What else are they going to do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(frustrated)<br/><br />
I don’t know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She stops walking and O'Neill turns to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
You wanna talk me out of this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes sir!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She holds the trigger up towards him and he takes it slowly thinking about the situation.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Stay in contact.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He walks off to the village leaving Carter by the lake and the boat.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PLANET '''<br />
<br />
[Daniel and Lotan are walking along in the area surrounding the village. Daniel is showing Lotan the planet.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
The air is not as pure as that created for me on the ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It’s definitely&hellip;different.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
This is better.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I agree.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan stops and looks at some trees.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
These are trees.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(smiling)<br/><br />
Yes err&hellip;anywhere there’s oxygen you’re sure to find trees. They’re kinda like natures air filters.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Their design is most interesting.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He touches the leaves on a tree.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So is their function.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan smiles at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HEDRAZAR'S VILLAGE'''<br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill walk quickly up to Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Daniel Jackson has gone to speak to Lotan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(annoyed)<br/><br />
Did you try to stop him?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I do not disagree with his intentions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
You do know we’re going to try and blow up that ship?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I am aware of that as is Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill activates his radio to speak with Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Daniel&hellip;Daniel come in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(via radio)<br/><br />
I read you, Jack.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(yelling)<br/><br />
Tell me&hellip;tell me you’re not on that ship!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see Daniel walking along on the planet with Lotan. He activates his radio to reply to O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Ok, I’m not on the ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(annoyed)<br/><br />
What are you doing Daniel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I’m talking to Lotan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill turns to look at Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(to Teal'c)<br/><br />
Is he going to tell him about the bomb?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
He said he would not reveal our plan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see Carter standing at the Stargate looking at her watch.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to O'Neill via radio)<br/><br />
Sir we only have about 15 minutes!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(to Daniel via radio)<br/><br />
Daniel do you know what time it is?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Again we see Daniel and Lotan walking through a field near the village. Daniel talks quietly to O'Neill via the radio.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I am trying to give you another choice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(annoyed)<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Err&hellip;hang on, we’re on our way back to the village. Over and out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill turns back to Teal'c with an angry exhale of breath.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;VILLAGE SURROUNDING AREA '''<br />
<br />
[We see Daniel and Lotan still walking.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
You have disobeyed your superior.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Umm&hellip;no, not exactly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
You are not fulfilling your function Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see Daniel rub his head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well&hellip;you see that’s not true. I’m choosing the best way to fulfil my true function. You see, sometimes hierarchical command structures don’t allow you to consider all possible options.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan stops and stares at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I see.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Let’s err&hellip;let’s go to the village.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HEDRAZAR'S VILLAGE'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c are standing looking at the approaching ship with binoculars. Suddenly Daniel and Lotan materialise nearby. O'Neill runs over to Daniel with his arms spread in question.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Daniel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Lotan wanted to meet the Enkarans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Two Enkarans have approached Lotan and he is staring back at them. Suddenly Carter's voice is heard via the radio.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(via radio)<br/><br />
Ten minutes Sir!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MAIN VILLAGE TENT '''<br />
<br />
[We see Hedrazar, Eliam and the village elders sitting in the tent as Lotan and Daniel enter. Eliam walks over to them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hello Eliam&hellip;This is Lotan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel points at Lotan who steps forward. Eliam looks at Lotan puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
He looks Enkaran. But I have not met him before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c enter the tent. Daniel looks at them then turns back to Eliam.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Lotan is a representative of the aliens who build the ship. He was created in your image in order to better communicate the ships mission and the danger you are in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Nikka is explain what is happening to Hedrazar in the background.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
And yet he does not stop it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No&hellip;Lotan this is Eliam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hedrazar gets up from her chair and walks over to Lotan, Daniel and Eliam with Nikka.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
This is his wife, Nikka, and this is Hedrazar, the leader of the village.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hedrazar walks right up to Lotan and feels his face.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
Are you now able to see the lives that will be extinguished if the ship continues its current path?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes, Lotan is aware of that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan stares at Hedrazar.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
She is without sight.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hedrazar rejoins Eliam and Nikka.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It’s something that was happening to them on the planet where we first met. They were dying. This was the only planet we could find where we knew they could survive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I am aware of their physiological needs.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes, of course.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan looks over at Nikka who is heavily pregnant. Eliam puts a protective hand on her stomach.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
That one is going to give birth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes to err&hellip;a new Enkaran life.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
There will be no Enkaran life at all if your ship does not stop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill interrupts.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I think we’re all aware of the situation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes, you have brought me here to elicit sympathy for these people.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well actually&hellip;they’re your people in a way Lotan. You were created in their image.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I was not created to prevent their demise Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
But&hellip;don’t you wish you could?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
The ship calls me back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Why?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I must go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Take me with you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill steps forward anxiously.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
No&hellip;Daniel, no!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see the orange light reflect on O'Neill as Daniel and Lotan are beamed back to the ship.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;STARGATE'''<br />
<br />
[We see Carter standing near the Stargate looking at her watch.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to O'Neill via radio)<br/><br />
Five minutes sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(via radio)<br/><br />
Lotan just took Daniel back up to the ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks up surprised.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What&hellip;sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(annoyed)<br/><br />
He asked to go!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, what are we going to do sir, the ship is almost in position.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She looks at the ship through her binoculars]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ALIEN SHIP '''<br />
<br />
[We see Lotan and Daniel walk into the chamber where the holographic projector is. It shows the planet landscape and a blip where the bomb is.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
The ship has detected an unusual device. It appears to be capable of emitting great amounts of energy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan looks back at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Is this device intended to try and stop the ship as the Enkaran named Eliam suggested?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Look Lotan, I don’t agree with what they’re doing but I also don’t want to see you wipe out those people!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
If they will not leave there is no other option.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;STARGATE '''<br />
<br />
[Carter is looking at the ship through her binoculars.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to O'Neill via radio)<br/><br />
The ship is in position sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill and Teal'c in the village staring at the approaching ship. O'Neill is thinking about the situation. He clearly doesn’t know what to do about Daniel being on the ship.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(at Stargate)<br/><br />
If you’re going to do it, do it now!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill look at Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
Daniel Jackson has made his choice O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill still looks hesitant. He looks over at the villagers huddled together near the tents then holds up the overload trigger.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He presses the trigger and then stares at the ship.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;NAQUADAH REACTOR '''<br />
<br />
[We see the reactor trigger go off and it starting to overload.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SHIP '''<br />
<br />
[We see Lotan and Daniel staring at the readout.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
The device has entered an active state.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Lotan if you wanted to, can you stop the ship?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
As I have said&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANEL<br/><br />
(hurriedly)<br/><br />
Yes I know what you said, it isn’t about what you want. Just please answer the question. Can you stop the ship?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
It would be possible, yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Ok, then think about this. Think about the people down there and all the life forms you would be destroying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I am programmed to serve the life on this ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel turns away quickly thinking. He suddenly looks up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You say that were an advanced civilisation, ten thousand years of history?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They had laws, justice?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
A respect for life?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Then how can that world be recreated through an act of mass murder?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan turns his head thoughtfully at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Wouldn’t that be a betrayal of everything they stood for? You said you were made to communicate. You’re not here simply to serve life on this ship, you’re here to protect the integrity of life on this ship! There’s a big difference. Are you really fulfilling your true function by allowing this to happen?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan stares at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;STARGATE '''<br />
<br />
[We see Carter looking at the ship.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to O'Neill via radio)<br/><br />
Sixty seconds to detonation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly the ship stops and Carter looks at it.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;VILLAGE '''<br />
<br />
[In the village we see Teal'c and O'Neill stare at the stopped ship]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The ship has stopped O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks surprised and the villagers look relieved for the moment.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(via radio)<br/><br />
Daniel must have got through to them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill gives a half smile. He activates his radio.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Daniel, if you can hear me you’ve got thirty seconds&hellip;three zero, over.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[We see Lotan and Daniel looking at the readout of the device.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Err&hellip;about the device.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
It is still active.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes, can you do anything about that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan presses some buttons on the console and the ‘bomb’ is beamed into the chamber. Daniel looks at it aghast!]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Do you know how to deactivate it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan stares at the reactor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Intriguing design.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Err&hellip;yeah Lotan we really don’t have time for this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
How much time do we have?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;STARGATE '''<br />
<br />
[We see Carter staring at her watch.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Five, four, three, two, one!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill and Teal'c. O'Neill is not looking at the ship. Just then the bomb is shot out from the ship and explodes harmlessly away in the sky. We see Eliam and Nikka looking up at the exploding bomb. Hedrazar is panicking about the situation as she cannot see what is going on.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
What is going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
The ship remains!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SHIP '''<br />
<br />
[We see Daniel and Lotan looking at a display of the explosion.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
A powerful explosion.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We were desperate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
The conflict remains unresolved. I must eventually resume the transformation process on this planet or the Gadmere civilisation will be lost.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He walks over to Lotan who is working at a console.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Many millions of planets were scanned, to match the right conditions for the transformation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks at him puzzled. We see the holographic projector showing images of the millions of planets.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Only one met the specifications.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Just out of curiosity, were any others even close?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Two thousand, six hundred and thirty four parameters had to be exactly right for the&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(interrupting)<br/><br />
For the transformation process, yes but what about for the Enkarans?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan looks puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I do not understand.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well maybe the Enkarans don’t need exactly the same environment as the transformation process, just a very similar one. Now you know their physiology better than anyone. Do any of the planets scanned by the ship match the needs of the Enkarans?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan presses some buttons on the console and the image of one planet is displayed. He and Daniel look at it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Here. This planet would be appropriate for the Enkarans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks surprised at Lotan.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I regret that I didn’t consider this possibility Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, you would have gotten there eventually.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
This planet was rejected by the ship because three of the parameters were not correct. The core temperature was too warm, the size was too large and there were intelligent life forms already present.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Intelligent life forms?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan turns to Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Based on their description I believe they were Enkaran.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MAIN VILLAGE TENT '''<br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill, Carter and Teal'c walk into the tent to talk to Hedrazar.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
So, what shall we do now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly the tent is engulfed in the orange light and Lotan and Daniel materialise in the tent.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
(concerned)<br/><br />
What is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It’s ok, don’t err&hellip;don’t be afraid.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill walks over to Daniel and Lotan.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
What’s going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(to the villagers)<br/><br />
Lotan would like to offer you a compromise.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
The ship has expended too many of the resources needed for the transformation process to begin on another planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hedrazar and Eliam look confused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I require that you give up this world.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill rolls his eyes at these words.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
How is that a compromise?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(smiling)<br/><br />
We’ve found the original Enkaran home world.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The villagers all gasp. Hedrazar stands up and walks forward excitedly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It was one of several million scanned by the ship before it settled on this one and it was rejected partly on the presence of intelligent life forms.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(unconvinced)<br/><br />
He’s telling us this now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well he didn’t know and technically he’s just a day and a half old so&hellip;give him a break.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
We will gladly accept this offer to return to the home of our ancestors.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Eliam and Nikka smile and nod at this.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How do we get them there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The Enkaran home world has no Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They all look at Daniel and Lotan.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well actually I have this friend with a big spaceship who’s willing to take them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
(amazed)<br/><br />
Is this possible?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes, once you are safely to your home planet I will be reintegrated into the ships systems and the ship will be returned here to complete the transformation process.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Does that have to happen, the part about you having to be reintegrated?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
What other option is there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
But you are Enkaran. You must stay with us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
That is not contrary to my programming.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Enkarans stare at Lotan puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(smiling)<br/><br />
Lotan says thank you, he’d like that very much!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hedrazar steps forward.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
Spread the word among the villages. We are going home!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan smiles at Daniel who in turn looks and smiles at O'Neill. O'Neill gives a half hearted smile back.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PLANET SHOT '''<br />
<br />
[We see SG-1 waving goodbye to Hedrazar, Eliam, Nikka and the last few villagers as they are beamed up into the ship. It then leaves the planet.]<br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''FADE IN'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BARRACKS'''<br />
<br />
[We see the camera pan across a barracks full of bunk beds. There are people everywhere getting up from their beds. All of the people are dirty and look as though they do manual labour. There are fires burning in barrels at the end of the beds.]<br />
<br />
[Suddenly we see Teal'c sit up from a bed on the sounding of an alarm and join the other people walking away from the beds. The lights in the barracks turn on automatically. Teal'c has no shirt on and a thick bandage is covering his pouch.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MAIN CHAMBER'''<br />
<br />
[We see the ceiling of the chamber. There are skylights there covered in snow. The camera pans down onto a line of people stood waiting to receive their breakfast. The whole area in dirty and seems to be industrial. We see a woman wearing somewhat smarter clothes than the workers walk out onto a walkway above the line of people. She is smiling.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Colleagues!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We then see a shot of Carter and O'Neill looking up at the woman. They are dressed in workers outfits and are both very dirty. The camera shows the line of people and we see that Daniel is also there with them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Your attention please! I am pleased to report that thanks to your hard work, we now have enough reserve energy to heat the greenhouses for the next two months. Special merit to the workers of section twenty three!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The workers all raise a hand and sheer. We see that O'Neill, Carter and Daniel all do this too. Teal'c however doesn’t and looks around suspiciously.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Let us use this not as an excuse to work less but as motivation top work harder. Our world may be covered in ice but one day we will reclaim our place on the surface!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ALL WORKERS<br/><br />
It is my honour to serve.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill and Daniel say these words as though programmed to do it. The woman leaves and the line proceeds to get their breakfast. Carter, O'Neill and Daniel are all next to each other in the line. We see Carter receive her breakfast from a woman. The woman spoons it into a bowl for her. She doesn’t seem to like Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Kegan, how about some bread?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
(sarcastically)<br/><br />
Sorry, just gave out the last piece.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Oh here we go, every time!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
(annoyed)<br/><br />
What is your problem?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
I don’t have a problem!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
And we don’t have any bread!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Is there a problem here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
(nastily)<br/><br />
Stay out of this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Jonah, there are other people waiting!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill grab Kegan's arm angrily.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Give here the damn bread!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel grabs O'Neill's hand away from Kegan and O'Neill angrily grabs Daniel and throws him over his shoulder onto the floor. They proceed to fight each other until Teal'c runs over and grabs O'Neill off Daniel. He restrains a struggling O'Neill. Daniel stands up and stares at them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
This is not right! The two of you are friends O'Neill!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill is still struggling to get out of Tealc’s grip.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Stay out of it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
We are part of something called SG-1. I am Teal'c. Do you not remember?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Daniel look puzzled at Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
(angrily)<br/><br />
Somebody get this guy off me!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Three workers run up and grab hold of Teal'c. They restrain him from O'Neill who backs away from him and bumps into an angry Daniel. Brenna approaches Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Get him upstairs!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c is dragged away from the chamber.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You must remember! We must escape!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel, Carter and O'Neill watch as Teal'c is dragged away. O'Neill turns to face Brenna.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Brenna, it is my honour to serve. I don’t know that man.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
I know Jonah don’t worry. He’s night sick.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna looks at Kegan.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Give Thera her bread.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan gets a new tray of bread and shoves it onto the serving table in front of Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Get back to work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''END OF TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;UNDERGROUND PUMP AREA'''<br />
<br />
[We see lots of machinery working in the area as the camera pans down to Daniel/Carlin and Kegan working at one of the machines. The machines seem to be in a bad state of repair and are sparking and smoking.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
These pumps regulate the overflow. Sometimes they get clogged and you have to&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She notices that Daniel/Carlin is not listening to her]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Carlin!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Where’s he been for five days?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He indicates to Teal'c who we se stepping through a door into the machinery area.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Recovering from night sickness. It’s a strange thing. There was this guy once a couple of years ago who tried to smash his way through one of those skylights.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She points at one of the skylights.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Did he do it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
You would have known if he had. This place would have been buried under ice and snow and you would have frozen to death along with everyone else.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ANOTHER MACHINE AREA'''<br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill/Jonah hammering at a machine to fix it. He sees Teal'c approach and turns away to avoid him. But Teal'c doesn’t seem to recognise him and walks straight past. O'Neill/Jonah seems confused by this. Suddenly there is a loud bang and we see a machine where Carter/Thera is working with others smoking and sparking. O'Neill/Jonah turns to see this.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Cover those valves!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna approaches Carter/Thera.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
What happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
One of the stabilisers ruptured. They’re so corroded they can’t take the pressure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
There’s not much we can do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Actually I think there is! If we set up an automatic release valve on each of the stabilisers we could vent the excess pressure. I’ve done some calculations. If you want I could show you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
You can come by my office later.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna leaves and Carter/Thera smiles at O'Neill/Jonah. They go back to work.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MACHINE AREA'''<br />
<br />
[We see Carter/Thera and O'Neill/Jonah. As Thera walks past Jonah he joins her and they walk along together.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
You all right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Fine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
That explosion.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA <br/><br />
(shaking her head)<br/><br />
Oh no, no&hellip;I’m fine really.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'Neill/JONAH<br/><br />
Good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Brenna wants to see me. She wants to hear my ideas for running the plant.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
You know you could take a few minutes off.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera laughs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Oh please! You work just as hard as I do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
That’s different, it’s called stamina.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera smiles and laughs again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Have a good shift.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She walks off to Brenna's office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Bye.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CHAMBER BELOW BRENNA'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[We see Kegan looking up as Carter/Thera goes into Brenna's office. Kegan looks at Daniel/Carlin.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
There she goes! Why does Brenna listen to her?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN <br/><br />
(distractedly)<br/><br />
I don’t know, she seems pretty smart.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
She thinks she’s better than the rest of us!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan looks over at O'Neill/Jonah who is working on some machine.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
They both do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Teal'c said we were friends.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
His name’s not Teal'c it’s TOR. Night sickness.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She and Daniel/Carlin exchange looks and then get on with their work.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[We see the Stargate activate. The klaxons are going off. Inside the control room Sergeant Davis is at the control console. Hammond is standing in the background talking to a technician.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Sir we’re ready for the video link with P3R-118.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond walks over to the console.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Very well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond stares at a computer screen and we see a shot of a man appear. He turns to look at Hammond.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Administrator Calder.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
General Hammond I’m sorry to have to tell you this but our search has turned up nothing. Given the hostile conditions outside of the dome I don’t see how SG-1 could have survived this long.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
With all due respect administrator I’m not ready to give up on my people just yet. We have specialised equipment and teams specially trained for this type of operation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
When Major Carter first expressed an interest in exploring the glacier I tried to explain the danger but Colonel O'Neill was quite overly confident thinking they could handle the conditions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I appreciate your concern. But I assure you I’ll take full responsibility.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Very well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns away and the transmission ends as the gate deactivates.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CALDER'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[We see Calder walk to the window in his luxury office. A servant enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Tell Brenna I want to see her tomorrow. I’d like to know how our new workers are doing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[We see Daniel walking down the ramp from an active gate. The room is dark except for the light of the gate. Daniel is dressed in his work clothes from the underground plant. He turns around to look at the gate as O'Neill, also in work clothes walks past him to the gate. O'Neill turns and talks to Daniel but his voice is strange and muffled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Go ahead!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Go where?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
The other side.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly Kegan appears next to Daniel. He turns round to her surprised.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Carlin! Don’t listen to him!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly Daniel wakes up and sits up from his bed in the barracks. It has been a dream and he lies back down confused.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The gate is active and we see Hammond and Sergeant Davis at the main console. There are technicians in the background. Davis turns and nods at Hammond. Hammond looks at the screen again and talks to Major Griff who is on P3R-118. They are in a blizzard searching for SG-1.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Major, what’s your status?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The link to Griff is bad and he is very faint on the viewer.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRIFF<br/><br />
(shouting)<br/><br />
We’ve lost the UAV and we’re getting back now. But I have to tell you sir, it doesn’t look good. This place is pretty nasty.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond looks concerned.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;UNDERGROUND WORKS'''<br />
<br />
[We see Teal'c/Tor shovelling some ore. As he is doing this Daniel/Carlin approaches and looks at the bandage around Teal'c/Tor's middle.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
What happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C/TOR<br/><br />
I was injured.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
When?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C/TOR<br/><br />
Why are you speaking to me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin walks closer to Teal'c/Tor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
I just thought that err&hellip;since apparently we’re friends from way back. I just thought that&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel indicates Teal'c’s golden tattoo on his head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
&hellip;what is that thing on your forehead?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c/Tor doesn’t stop working.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C/TOR<br/><br />
A birthmark.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
A birthmark, you’d think I’d remember something like that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C/TOR<br/><br />
I don’t know you!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
You said you did! Last week during morning line up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C/TOR<br/>\n<br />
I wasn’t here last week!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
You said we were friends and you said we had to escape and I’d really like an explanation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c/Tor looks up angrily.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C/TOR<br/><br />
I said no such thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They stare at each other for a moment.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
All right, I’m obviously completely wrong about that!.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C/TOR<br/><br />
Yes&hellip;don’t talk to me again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c/Tor resumes shovelling as Daniel walks away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Yeah right!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin walks over to where Kegan is working. He crouches next to her and she looks at him angrily.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
I told you to leave them alone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
He was there Kegan. You heard him. Why would he deny that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Night sickness affects your mind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
That doesn’t explain the dreams I’ve had.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan looks down.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Something is wrong here Kegan. Somethings not&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan interrupts.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Carlin! It’s bad enough he named you as part of his delusion. Now if people here you talking like this they’re going to think you’re night sick!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
(accusingly)<br/><br />
People?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Not that I would ever&hellip;Carlin.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin shakes his head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
No, of course not!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He laughs and shrugs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
It’s just a dream!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan pats him on the back but Daniel/Carlin doesn’t look convinced.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PLANET'''<br />
<br />
[We see a shot of the planet outside of the dome. Everywhere is covered in snow and ice.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CALDER'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Calder is sitting behind his desk in his office as Brenna walks in.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Why didn’t the memory stamp work on Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
I’m sure it was the creature his species carries within them. We’ve stamped him again, this time it seems to be holding.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
(annoyed)<br/><br />
And what about the others?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
They’re all proving to be excellent workers. In face Thera has some interesting ideas for improving the plant.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Thera?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
The personality we stamped Major Carter with.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna hands Calder a device with Thera’s ideas on. Calder takes hold of it using a handkerchief. Calder quickly scans through the ideas.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
We’ve been having some problems with the pressure overload. She suggested an automated relief valve which would relieve the excess pressure. If we didn’t have to regulate the pressure manually it would free up workers for other tasks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
(coldly)<br/><br />
Maybe one day she could increase productivity to the point where we don’t even need workers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
What would be so wrong with that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Calder looks at her annoyed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Well I’m sure they’d fit right in. They don’t even know that the city exists!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
You could tell them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
That they’d been lied to all their lives! How would the people of the city react when there’s less to go around? When they had to make room for workers?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna looks dismayed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Right now in our city Brenna we have no crime, no unemployment! They’re happy where they are! That’s what the stamp assures.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Calder hands back the ideas to Brenna.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Do only what is necessary to ensure uninterrupted power.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna takes the ideas and leaves.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Yes, administrator.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRENNA'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera is at the open doorway. She knocks and Brenna looks up from her work. Brenna nods at her and Carter/Thera enters closing the door behind her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Did you get a chance to look over my plans yet? I’d like to get started right away.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
We can’t do the improvements.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera looks disappointed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/>\n<br />
But you said before&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
No&hellip;it would require the generators to be offline for too long, If any of the critical systems began to freeze we might not be able to get them started again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
I agree there’s some risk&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna stands and hands Carter/Thera the device with the ideas on.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Too much risk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Ok&hellip;what about my other ideas?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
I’m sorry. This plant is all that stands between us and the ice. Uninterrupted production is more important than efficiency. You may return to work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera looks very disappointed. She turns to leave and then stops.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Brenna I know you were excited about this. What’s happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Well, I’ve thought it over.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
At least let me come up with a safer way&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna interrupts her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Thera, please leave.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
It’s my honour to serve.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She leaves looking upset. Brenna seems upset also.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;WORK AREA'''<br />
<br />
[We see Carter/Thera and O'Neill/Jonah in the work area. Carter/Thera is annoyed about Brenna's decision and is pacing back and fourth.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
It’s not like I’m making this up of the top of my head! I’ve got a detailed plan including safeguards.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I’m sure she knows that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
I could make a difference here&hellip;she won’t let me!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera turns away and O'Neill/Jonah walks up to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Why don’t you go back to her in a couple of days, offer up something small. Maybe you’ve got to work into the big stuff.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He shrugs at her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
How do you stay so calm?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I think in another life I’ve handled dangerous explosives.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
(puzzled)<br/><br />
What&hellip;what do you mean in another life?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
(shaking his head)<br/><br />
I didn’t mean anything by it. It’s just an expression isn’t it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[We see that the wormhole is open and Hammond is waiting at the bottom of the ramp with some technicians. The MALP comes through the wormhole followed by Major Griff and his team. They are wearing snowsuits. Griff is approached by Hammond and removes his hood.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Major?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRIFF<br/><br />
I’m sorry sir. There’s no sign of them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The gate disengages.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I understand. You and your team have been out there a long time?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRIFF<br/><br />
No sir, when I say there’s no sign I mean literally there’s no trace.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(puzzled)<br/><br />
What are you saying Major?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRIFF<br/><br />
I can’t imagine a scientific reason Major Carter or Doctor Jackson might have had to want to check out those ice fields. But even if they wanted to go out there. There’s no way in hell Colonel O'Neill would have let them!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
According to Administrator Calder, Colonel O'Neill believed the risk was acceptable.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRIFF<br/><br />
I can’t speak for that sir I’m not a diplomat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Off the record!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRIFF<br/><br />
They’re not out there sir, no way!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Administrator Calder says they are.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRIFF<br/><br />
Then I’d say he’s a damn liar!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond nods and then indicates that Griff is dismissed. Hammond looks angry.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;UNDERGROUND BARRACKS'''<br />
<br />
[We see Kegan washing herself under a tap. Daniel/Carlin walks up to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Kegan, I need to ask you something.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan looks at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
How did I get here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
What do you mean how did you get here? You were transferred from the mines.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
No, before that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan gives a short laugh.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Before?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
You don’t remember?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
I keep thinking about it and all I come up with is a hand full of memories.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan walks closer to Daniel/Carlin.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
What is this about anyway?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
I’m just wondering if Jonah and Thera were ever my friends.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan sighs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Friends?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Maybe I don’t recognise them because it was years ago&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Listen to me. They are just trying to get close to Brenna so they can get special treatment. Especially Thera.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin doesn’t seem convinced.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Look, all I am saying&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
And all I’m saying that if you’re friends with those two&hellip;you’re not mine!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She walks away from him angrily.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PIPE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[We see Teal'c/Tor working at a machine trying to turn a wheel valve on a smoking and steaming machine. He doesn’t appear to be well at all. He sees that the pressure valve on the machine is rising and tries to manually open it to release the pressure but as he is doing this he collapses. The pressure continues to build. Some workers notice Teal'c/Tor unconscious on the floor and run over to help him. One notices the pressure valve.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WORKER<br/><br />
The pressure's too high. The pipes are hot!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WORKER 2<br/><br />
It’s tool late! This whole section is going to blow! Help me get him out of here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The first worker activates a horn to warn of the danger and then they pick Teal'c and evacuate the area with other workers.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ADJACENT AREA'''<br />
<br />
[The workers drag Teal'c away from the machines. Carter/Thera runs up to them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
What’s going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WORKER<br/><br />
We’ve got a pressure overload!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
We’ve got to fix it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WORKER<br/><br />
It’s too late. We have to evacuate the area.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The workers continue to drag Teal'c/Tor away. Daniel/Carlin runs up to Carter/Thera.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
What’s happening?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
If that boiler blows it’ll take this whole section with it. Now I can shut off the main boiler from here but somebody’s going to have to go back there and open the primary release valve.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As she is talking O'Neill/Jonah runs up and goes to open the valve. Daniel heads to open the valve too as Kegan runs to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Carlin!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Get these people out of here!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He indicates the workers nearby then runs off to help O'Neill/Jonah.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
(to workers)<br/><br />
Get out of here! Close this section!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The workers run away.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PIPE AREA'''<br />
<br />
[The pressure in the valve continues to rise uncontrolled. O'Neill/Jonah runs up to the valve. He touches the lever to release the valve but it's it too hot and he burns his hand. He tries to use his clothes to cover his hands but it is still too hot. Daniel/Carlin approaches.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Here!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He hands O'Neill/Jonah a hammer and they start hitting at the valve to open it.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ADJACENT AREA'''<br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera shuts down the main boiler.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PIPE AREA'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin and O'Neill/Jonah are still hitting hard at the valve. Eventually just as the pressure is reaching critical they manage to release the valve. Steam comes out of the valve very fast and the pressure comes down. O'Neill looks down at Daniel who is crouching on the floor. He holds out his hand and helps Daniel up.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;UNDERGROUND SICKBAY'''<br />
<br />
[We see Teal'c/Tor lying in a bed awake. Brenna is standing over him helping him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C/TOR<br/><br />
I must return to my duties,</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna places a hand on his shoulder to stop him from sitting up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
I want you to rest! You’ll stay here until you’re well enough to work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna moves to where Daniel/Carlin, O'Neill/Jonah and Carter/Thera are standing. O’Neill and Daniel have steam scolds on their faces.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
As for you three, we all owe you a debt of gratitude. You risked your lives to save the plant.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA and DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
It is my honour to serve.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill/Jonah doesn’t join in this and the other two look unconvinced of it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
If it hadn’t been for your quick action many lives would have been lost.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Next time will be different.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
(smiling)<br/><br />
Hopefully there won’t be a next time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA <br/><br />
(angrily)<br/><br />
Well if you would have listened to me in the first place&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Thera&hellip;you’re dismissed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They all walk away. O'Neill remains slightly longer with a puzzled look on his face.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;WORKING AREA'''<br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill/Jonah, Carter/Thera and Daniel/Carlin walking away down through the machines.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Hey next time don’t hold back just&hellip;you know, speak your mind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA <br/><br />
(annoyed)<br/><br />
She knows I’m right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
There’s something else going on!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They all stop and look at Daniel/Carlin. They are all cautious as to who is around as to not be overheard.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
That big night-sick guy with the err&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin indicates to his forehead.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Tor?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
He said we were a part of something called SG-1.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Yeah what is that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
A team?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
(disbelieving)<br/><br />
What kind of a name is that for a team?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera shakes her head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
I don’t know! Look I just think I’m supposed to be doing something&hellip;more important.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
We’re helping out people survive an ice age.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Yeah, what’s more important than that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
I don’t know. Look I just have this feeling that all of us are part of some&hellip;bigger, grander thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Well I certainly understand what you are talking about.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin looks surprised.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
You do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
(sarcastically)<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin looks around to make sure that no one is listening.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Look, I don’t know how to explain this but I had this dream. You were in it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
There was this big glowing puddle.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
(sarcastically)<br/><br />
Ok stop talking right now!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Wait a second Jonah. I had the same dream.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Will you two stop talking like that for cryin out loud?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Daniel both look at him puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
It’s an expression&hellip;right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[DANIEL/CARLIN looks around again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Look, we can’t talk right now. Let’s meet after lights out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He walks away to continue working. Carter also walks away leaving O'Neill/Jonah to think.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SLEEPING AREA&mdash;NIGHT'''<br />
<br />
[We see all the beds for the workers and then we see Kegan asleep next to Daniel/Carlin. Daniel/Carlin gets up and leaves to meet up with O'Neill/Jonah and Carter/Thera.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SECLUDED AREA'''<br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill/Jonah already waiting in a secluded area of the plant. Carter/Thera and Daniel/Carlin join him and sit down. Carter and O'Neill look at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
So?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
So?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin looks at O'Neill/Jonah]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Do you have the same dream?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
(sarcastically)<br/><br />
About you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
No, about the shimmering circle of water!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
No, my dreams are about&hellip;other things!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Tor said we had to escape. He also said we had to remember. Remember what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Well I remember when I was foreman anyone caught doing what we’re doing now had their rations cut in half for a month.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
We’ll have to risk it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin looks unconvinced.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
What if our memories have been somehow altered?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Well if that’s true then we cant be sure of anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
My memory’s fine!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Really?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Yeah!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
What did you do in the mines?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I mined.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
No&hellip;what did you do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I remember shovelling ore into a cart.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
And?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I did that a lot.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He stares at Daniel/Carlin who is smirking.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
I remember a feeling of cold and darkness.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
And that’s where the two of you met?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Yeah!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Really?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Sure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera looks unconvinced of this.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
So what’s this important thing we’re supposed to be doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
I told you I don’t know. I keep trying to remember but all I can come up with is images of this place.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
But if you’re right then everything we remember about this place is a lie!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
It’s like a façade. It only works if we don’t dig too deep beneath the surface, if we don’t question it. So that’s what we have to do. We have to question every assumption, everything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
We have to keep this to ourselves. If the others heard us talking this way they’d think we were night sick.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
What if we are night sick?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
I don’t think so sir!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill/Jonah and Daniel/Carlin look surprised at this.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
You just called Jonah sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera looks at O'Neill/Jonah surprised at what she said. He raises an eyebrow in question.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Well it’s an expression, isn’t it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[We see Hammond looking down from the briefing room onto the gate room. Technicians are attending to the gate. Fraiser walks into the room and Hammond turns to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Sir I have those medical reports that you were waiting for. Major Grigg has suffered some minor frostbite but the rest of his team are just fine.</blockquote> <br />
<br />
[Fraiser puts the medical reports onto the table. Hammond looks down at the gate again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Thank you doctor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Fraiser walks over to Hammond concerned. He appears to be angry.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Any word from the planet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I spoke to administrator Calder about an hour ago. He regretfully informed me that the search of the city turned up nothing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
So that’s it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Fraiser seems annoyed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Short of going to war all we can do is break off diplomatic relations and I’m not authorised to do that yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
I take it they have something we want.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
They’re quite advanced in metallurgical and chemical technologies.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Well we must have something they want or they wouldn’t have proposed trade?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Stargate technology, gate addresses.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Well I understand that, I mean they’re surrounded by ice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
As far as I’m concerned they need us a hell of a lot more than we need them. Apparently administrator Calder doesn’t seem to think so. Frankly I think he likes things just the way they are.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
That doesn’t leave you with many options does it sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond turns to face Fraiser.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
No it doesn’t, which is why I’ve ordered Major Griff to draw up a covert search and rescue plan!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Well if you’re looking for volunteer’s sir&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Thank you doctor. I’ll keep that in mind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Fraiser smiles and walks away leaving Hammond to stare at the gate.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MEAL CHAMBER'''<br />
<br />
[We see Kegan doling out food to Daniel/Carlin and the workers waiting in the line. Daniel/Carlin takes a piece of bread with it and walks over to where Carter/Thera and O'Neill/Jonah are eating. He sits down with them and gives Carter/Thera his bread. She takes it gratefully.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Any more dreams?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel/Carlin is hungrily eating his food.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
I saw the pool of light again. Except this time we were all there including Tor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I dreamed about mining&hellip;naked.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera looks at him in surprise.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Thera?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
A lot of numbers and letters keep popping into my mind&hellip;SG-1, DHD, GDO.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
It sounds like gibberish to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Well it must mean something.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill/Jonah suddenly looks to one of the fellow workers who is finishing eating from a large dome bowl. He stares at the bowl.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'Neill/JONAH<br/><br />
(to worker)<br/><br />
Excuse me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He gives the worker his bowl of food for the worker's empty dome bowl. O'Neill/Jonah stares at the bowl in his hands. Carter/Thera looks at him puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Jonah?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill/Jonah puts the bowl down with the bottom facing up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
That means something.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
What is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I don’t know yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly O'Neill/Jonah has a vision. He is standing wearing his work clothes looking out of the window in Administrator Calder’s office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Very impressive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[In the eating area O'Neill/Jonah continues to stare at the bowl.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;EATING AREA&mdash;LATER'''<br />
<br />
[We see the workers returning their bowls after finishing eating. Daniel/Carlin puts his bowl back and Kegan walks up to him with her arms folded. She looks annoyed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Well I see you made some new friends!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
Yeah!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
Carlin?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
I’m sorry Kegan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He walks away from her.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;UNDERGROUND MEDICAL AREA'''<br />
<br />
[We see Teal'c/Tor lying in a bed. He is covered in sweat and appears to be very ill. A medic and Brenna are standing looking down at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEDIC<br/><br />
I don’t understand, his condition's getting worse. Here let me check his wound.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The medic reaches for the bandages on Teal'c but Brenna stops him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Under no circumstances are you to remove those bandages&hellip;just make sure he continues to eat and drink.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She walks away from the confused medic. The medic turns to another patient and suddenly Teal'c/Tor opens his eyes. He looks around to make sure no-one is looking and then begins to undo the bandage around his middle.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;REST AREA'''<br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill/Jonah and Carter/Thera sat next to each other in a corner of the plant.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I remember something. There was a man. He’s bald and wears a short sleeve shirt and somehow he’s very important to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera looks as though she is trying to remember this.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I think his name is Homer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
It doesn’t ring a bell.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Damn. You?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Just a lot of vague images.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She leans over and rests her head on his shoulder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
You know there are things about this place that I like.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Really?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She looks at him and smiles and he understands what she means.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Would it mean anything if I told you I remember something else?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Feelings.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Feelings?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I remember feeling feelings.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
For me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
(sarcastically)<br/><br />
No, for Tor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera laughs at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I don’t remember much. But I do remember that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
So&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
So&hellip;I’m just saying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
Well then I feel better.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PLANET EXTERIOR&mdash;NIGHT'''<br />
<br />
[We see the lights of the city through the dome at night.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CALDER'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[We see Calder looking out of his office window as Brenna is talking to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
(worried)<br/><br />
For some reason Tor seems to be having an adverse reaction to the memory stamp. I think he may be dying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Workers die. What about his friends?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
I’ve received a report, they’ve been gathering together in secret. Administrator I think they’re starting to remember. Their brain chemistry is slightly different than ours. That might be the reason&hellip;but we can re-stamp them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
No&hellip;No I think it was time they found out what it is like outside.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns to look at Brenna.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
All they really did was disapprove of our treatment of the workers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
No, no. No they did much more than disapprove. They passed judgement on us Brenna. I’m simply doing the same.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Yes sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Brenna, if for some reason you can’t comply with my orders&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
It’s an honour to serve administrator.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Yes it is.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna turns and leaves.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SLEEPING AREA'''<br />
<br />
[We see the workers all asleep in their bunks. The camera pans up to O'Neill/Jonah who is lying awake on his bunk. He reaches under his pillow and retrieves the bowl. He puts it on the bed and stares it trying to remember. Suddenly he has a memory of standing in Calder's office again. He looks at the bowl and is turns into the city dome.]<br />
<br />
'''FLASHBACK'''<br />
<br />
[In Calder's office we see O'Neill turn around from looking out of the window. He is wearing his work clothes but as he turns they change into his BDU’S.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Very impressive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see Calder sat watching him at his desk eating something.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'Neill<br/><br />
Too bad it’s a lie!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Calder doesn’t seem alarmed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
I don’t understand.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
While we were on the grand tour Carter spotted some ventilation shafts coming out of apparently no-where. We checked it out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
You were supposed to stay with your escort.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I can see how you wouldn’t want outsiders to know about the slave labour force you keep underground.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
They’re merely workers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
And what made them so worthy of that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Colonel&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill slowly walks towards Calder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Administrator, I will not recommend trade with a culture that enslaves its own people. I don’t care what kind of technology you have to offer!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Calder leans forward in his chair.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
This system of government has allowed our culture to survive an ice-age.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Yep&hellip;what’s the secret? Starvation, torture&hellip;what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Our methods are actually quite civilised.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Really?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Yes, in fact&hellip;I’ll show you!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''END FLASHBACK'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SLEEPING AREA'''<br />
<br />
[The morning alarm sounds and the barracks lights come on. O'Neill/Jonah wakes up and sees the bowl on his bed. He gets up hiding it under his pillow and walks over to Carter/Thera's bed where she is awakening.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
I think I know what’s going on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A worker approaches them and they look up startled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WORKER<br/><br />
Jonah, Thera, report to Brenna's office.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They both look worried.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MEDICAL AREA'''<br />
<br />
[We see the same medic as before sitting on a chair watching over Teal'c/Tor in the bed. Teal'c/Tor is asleep. Two workers approach and lift Teal'c/Tor's stretcher away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEDIC<br/><br />
(alarmed)<br/><br />
What is it? What are you doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WORKER<br/><br />
We’ve got orders to take him up to Brenna's room.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The workers carry Teal'c/Tor away and we see that the bandages from Teal'c's stomach are left on the hospital bed. The medic picks them up confused.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRENNA'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[We see that O'Neill/Jonah, Carter/Thera and Daniel/Carlin are waiting in the office as the two workers carry Teal'c/Tor in on a stretcher. They all look puzzled. Brenna is also in the office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
(to workers)<br/><br />
Put him down over there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The workers lift Teal'c/Tor and lay him onto a bed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
(to workers)<br/><br />
You’re dismissed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The workers leave the office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
What’s the matter with him?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
He’s dying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
(puzzled)<br/><br />
Kel-no-reem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter/Thera and Brenna look at him puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL/CARLIN<br/><br />
I’m not sure what it means but I think&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
It’s kind of meditation. He has to do it every day or he gets sick. Right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/THERA<br/><br />
So why doesn’t he do it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL/JONAH<br/><br />
Because he can’t remember.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill is correct. As you have began to suspect all of you have had your memories altered.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They all look at her shocked. Brenna looks at Carter]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
You are Major Samantha Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brenna looks at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Doctor Daniel Jackson and your friend here is named Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Where does Homer fit in?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
You are all they sent down. At first I thought it was necessary to protect the city but now things have gone too far&hellip;you don’t belong here. You need to return to your own world. Your memories will come back more quickly once you return home.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Home?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[All three look completely stunned.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Yes, through there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She motions to the wall and presses a button. The wall slides open to reveal a doorway but Calder walks in with two armed guards. Brenna looks shocked to see them. The guards aim their guns at SG-1.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
Administrator Calder.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Brenna, I must say I’m disappointed but not surprised. You see I’ve been watching you growing weaker for some time now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
I’ve been coming to my senses.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Either way. You’re no longer of any use to me!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He aims a gun at Brenna and she backs away frightened. Calder shoots and Brenna screams and falls backwards grasping her right arm. Calder motions for the guards to surround SG-1.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
As for the rest of you, it’s time you found out what the surface of the planet is really like.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly Teal'c stands up and attacks one of the unsuspecting guards. He disarms him. Daniel then attacks Calder and get his gun and at the same time O'Neill attacks the other guard disarming him. He aims the weapon at Calder. Carter rushes to Brenna's side.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Teal'c, you alright?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I am.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
When I removed my bandages and realised I was unlike the rest of you I began to remember. I placed myself in a deep state of Kel-no-reem for the night. My symbiote restored me to health.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Brenna should be alright if we can get her to the err&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Infirmary.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
You’ll never make it back to the Stargate!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill still has the gun aimed at Calder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
You know something. We’ve got you as a hostage. I don’t see a problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Jonah!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Jack!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Right&hellip;we can’t. We have to tell these people what’s happening.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Calder considering this.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Yep&hellip;you’re right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They open the door to the plant and take Calder out into it. Carter makes sure Brenna will be ok and follow them. On the walkway above the plant O'Neill holds the gun to Calder’s head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to workers below)<br/><br />
Everybody! Can I have your attention please?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The workers all stop and look up. They are shocked.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I’d like to introduce you to someone. This man&hellip;<br/><br />
(he points to Calder)<br/><br />
&hellip;has been keeping you locked up down here while he and his friends live it up on the surface.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
What are you talking about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Calder looks panicked.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
Don’t listen to them. They shot Brenna!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The workers all murmur in shock.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
It’s true!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Listen to me! There’s a big domed city up there. Full of people you serve! They’ve been hiding the truth from you your entire lives!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
It’s a lie!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks down to Kegan.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
He’s telling the truth Kegan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kegan looks up puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
You can’t let them get away!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
(to Calder)<br/><br />
Who are you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Calder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
That’s a good question.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
(panicked)<br/><br />
My name is Calder. I was a supervisor in the mines before I was transferred!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah whatever!<br/><br />
(To workers)<br/><br />
You want proof?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He looks at the sky lights in the ceiling and aims the gun at one of them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KEGAN<br/><br />
No!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill fires and shatters the sky light. Glass comes down and rays of sunlight. The workers all scream in panic expecting snow and ice to come pouring in. The workers all look shocked at the sunlight.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to workers)<br/><br />
No ice! No snow!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
You’ve accomplished nothing! These people will never be accepted in the city!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I think you’re right about that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
That’s why we’re going to offer them a better place.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
There’s this nice little tropical planet out there where the beaches go on forever! This I remember clearly. You and your people can do your own shovelling for a while.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALDER<br/><br />
You’re destroying a way of life!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
That’s a shame&hellip;Teal'c, show these people how to get out of here!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c goes to help the workers. O'Neill, Daniel and Carter go back into Brenna's office. Calder is left on the walkway.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRENNA'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Brenna is cradling her injured arm. Carter is standing next to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRENNA<br/><br />
It hurts!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I know. Try not to move it. We’re going to take you home with us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She helps Brenna to stand and Daniel escorts her out of the office. O'Neill and Carter stare at each other for a moment. They look uncomfortable.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So&hellip;Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That bald man you were trying to remember&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
General Hammond.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She smiles at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
He’s from Texas you know. It’s all coming back!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks down. He is thinking.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Sir&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He looks at Carter at last.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Let’s go home.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They leave the office.]<br />
<br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''FADE IN'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;ALIEN PLANET&mdash;P5S-381'''<br />
<br />
[We see a village tent settlement as the camera pans across the area. Children play in the foreground as the camera pans onto SG-1. They are sitting at a long table pilled with food and surrounded by the villagers. The village leader starts to talk to the gathered villagers.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
Hundreds of villages like this one have cause to celebrate the transportation of our people to this great new land. We are especially honoured today by the presence of those responsible for finding this planet for us and saving us from certain doom. How can we ever repay them?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The leader takes O'Neill's hand and we see that she is blind. Carter and the others smile at her statement.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
(joking)<br/><br />
By not boring then with long speeches, Hedrazar.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The villagers laugh.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
(smiling)<br/><br />
I meant what I said. You are all heroes to my people.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
It was our pleasure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hedrazar takes Eliam’s hand. He is her son and is sitting next to his pregnant wife.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
When my grandchild arrives, it will be the first Enkaran to be born in our new homeland. We will name the child after you, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks up embarrassed from pouring a drink. Carter, Daniel and Teal'c smile.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>NIKKA<br/><br />
Eliam, it seems to be getting cold.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Eliam takes a coat and wraps it around Nikka.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
It seems to be getting colder each day since you visited.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, our atmospheric monitoring equipment is indicating that. We only had a short time to asses the planet’s conditions but it appears that you may be in for a more severe winter than we first predicted.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
We are a hearty people and we will survive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The naquada reactor that we brought you should provide enough energy to keep your new city for a year.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, you’ve certainly accomplished a lot already.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel nods towards the building development nearby.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
And it has only been but one cycle of the moon! Come back in a year and you will find this planet transformed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly a man runs up to the gathering.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALEB<br/><br />
Help! Help me please.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
What is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They all stand to help the running man.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
It is Caleb. He comes from the west.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Some of the villagers catch Caleb as he falls to the ground and help him up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALEB<br/><br />
(panicked)<br/><br />
It’s so big! It destroyed out whole village! You must all flee!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They all look shocked. Caleb is breathing heavily obviously panicked and shocked.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
What are you talking about? Caleb, catch your breath!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALEB<br/><br />
It comes this way!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
What does?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALEB<br/><br />
(to SG-1)<br/><br />
You must see it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P5S-381 STARGATE SITE '''<br />
<br />
[Caleb, Eliam and SG-1 run to near the Stargate then stop, shocked.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALEB<br/><br />
(pointing)<br/><br />
There!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(shocked)<br/><br />
Whoa!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see what is so shocking. It is an alien spaceship, massive in size. It is emitting what appears to be a ‘wall of fire’ onto the planet destroying what is there already. Carter observes it via binoculars.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
What is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see the spaceship close up destroying whatever is in its path.]<br />
<br />
'''END OF TEASER '''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM '''<br />
<br />
[We see a representation of the spaceship on the main computer display on the wall. Hammond, Carter, Daniel and O'Neill are sitting around the table studying it along with reports and photographs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to Hammond)<br/><br />
We estimate the ship to be about two miles in diameter. The curtain of energy it’s using to sweep the landscape stretches for over twenty miles. It seems to be depositing a yet unknown gas like substance that is spreading like a wake behind the ship. Now it extends beyond the range of the UAV but it appears to cover hundreds of miles.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Teal'c said he hadn’t seen the technology before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We’re still waiting for the analysis of the atmospheric samples taken by the UAV but you can see the damage being done.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond studies some photographs of the damage and the ship.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
There don’t appear to be any recognisable or discernible markings on the ship. If there’s any good news it would appear that whoever’s in control doesn’t have any specific intention of attacking the Enkarrans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Why do you say that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It just seems there would be a more direct approach.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
What difference does it make?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to Hammond)<br/><br />
Sir, the Colonel's right. Based on the ships current speed I estimate it will take approximately 26 hours to reach Hedrazar’s village.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
But it’ll take out the Stargate first.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Can we evacuate the Enkarrans in time?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Teal'c’s prepping them right now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The concern is where to send them. Even low level radiation can cause the Enkarrans to go blind. Without the density of ozone on this particular planet they’ll all die.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The only other planet we know with similar conditions is the Enkaran home world and according to Enkaran verbal history there’s no Stargate there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Right, the Goa’uld kidnapped their ancestors with ships.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Even if we had a method of transportation the Enkarans of today would have no concept of where that planet is in the galaxy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I’ve put SG5, 6 and 9 out looking for another suitable planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It’s doubtful they’ll find one in time sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
How long can we keep the Enkarans on Earth here in the mean time?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
A matter of days. Their condition would degrade the longer they were here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
There are thousands of them outside of Hedrazar's village spread a fair distance from the gate. It took us two weeks to transplant them to P5S-381 in the first place.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks directly at Hammond]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
The point is, General, we could never save them all.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CARTER'S LAB '''<br />
<br />
[We see a number of samples the UAV picked up next to the microscope. Carter is examining them as O'Neill and Daniel walk in.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Hey, what have you got?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Then analysis of the atmosphere in the wake of the ship shows a high incidence of Sulphur Dioxide.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks shocked.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Chemical warfare?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel raises his eyebrows at this statement.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I don’t think so sir. Take a look at this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter moves away from the microscope and O'Neill peers down the viewer. We see orange spheres on the microscope.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(sarcastically)<br/><br />
Oh yeah! Little fuzzy orange things!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He looks at Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They’re microbes sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Ah!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The alien ship is depositing them on the planet’s surface.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill moves so Daniel can take a look at the microbes. Daniel looks with his glasses on then takes them off to look again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Now as near as I can tell they bond with Sulphur leeched out of the soil and when they decay they release Sulphur Dioxide.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So the big mean alien ship is trying to stink up the planet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It’s a little bit more than that Sir. The microbes are only deposited after all of the native organisms have been destroyed. I think they’re meant to replace them. Now if my theory is correct we’re looking at the first building blocks of an alien ecosystem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel stands up from looking down the microscope realising what Carter is getting at.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It’s a terraformer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It’s changing the environment to support an entirely different kind of life. An organic system based on Sulphur instead of carbon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So is the ship is allowed to continue the process the whole planet will be remade?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Look, all I know for sure is that the atmosphere on the other side of that energy curtain will not support life!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We then see a shot of gate travel.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;ALIEN PLANET&mdash;P5S-381 '''<br />
<br />
[Daniel and O’Neill have travelled back to Hedrazar's village. They are met by Teal'c. There does not appear to have been any preparations made to evacuate the area.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
What’s going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
They do not wish to leave, O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Teal'c annoyed and they all walk over to the main tent in the village.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MAIN VILLAGE TENT'''<br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill, Daniel and Teal'c walk in and over to where Hedrazar, Eliam and other village elders are standing.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Teal'c say’s that you don’t want to go?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
If we go with you to Earth and you cannot find another world on which we could live, we will die there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Give us a chance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
Would there be time to take every Enkaran?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
We cannot leave our people behind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Look, I understand how you feel&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
(interrupting)<br/><br />
Generations ago our ancestors were kidnapped from our home world and taken away in giant ships. Since then we have all prayed for a place that we can call home. Thanks to you we have found it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
We must stay here and fight for it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
With what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
Have you not weapons to aid us?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We’re going to try to communicate with whatever’s on that ship first.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
Clearly they intend to destroy us</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
We don’t know anything for sure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
I know that if the Enkaran people are to die then we shall all die here, together!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;ALIEN PLANET&mdash;P5S-381 GATE '''<br />
<br />
[Carter is setting up some scientific transmitting equipment near to the gate. The alien spacecraft is in the background slowly advancing. O'Neill, Daniel and Teal'c approach from the village.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The transmitter’s now operational sir. Let’s hope we get a bite.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(sarcastically)<br/><br />
Do you think a well placed stinger would do some damage?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks back on the ship.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well we have no way of knowing what material the ship’s made of, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Or if it possesses shield technology.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, just fantasising</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Any intelligence capable of engineering something like that has to be capable of reason.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Question is; will they listen?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Well the real question is; will they have ears?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly SG-1 are enveloped in orange shafts of light and they are ‘beamed away’.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SPACESHIP '''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 materialise inside a room on the spaceship. Everything is pure white in appearance. There are tubes along the walls filled with water with bubbles of air travelling up them. SG-1 are immediately wary. Carter and O'Neill hold their weapons and look around cautiously.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Somebody heard something!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It appears to be a storage facility of some kind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I’m going to assume that we’re onboard that ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at the ‘bubble tubes’. They go high up to the ceiling.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You know, it’s strange. The aliens went to so much trouble to change the atmosphere on the planet. Yet the air in here is perfectly breathable.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They were expecting us!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter touches the walls exploring them. They appear to be sectioned off into compartments.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Should we really be opening draws and things?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As O'Neill is saying this Daniel lightly touches one of the compartments and it springs out to reveal a drawer full of circular containers. Daniel jumps back slightly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(sarcastically)<br/><br />
What did I just say?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks embarrassed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Sorry!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Carter walk over to the compartment. Daniel touches another of the segments and another draw comes out of the wall full of containers. Carter takes one of the containers out and studies it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It looks like some kind of tissue sample.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Of what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I’m not sure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel takes one of the containers and studies it also.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The ship’s terraforming the planet right? What if these are the new life forms it’s creating the planet for?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Recreating an entire civilisation!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(thoughtfully)<br/><br />
Millions of samples.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
So, every one of these things is a&hellip;what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Plant, animal, insect.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Alien?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Who knows?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It’s still just a guess.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A hissing sound of a door opening is hears and a man's voice is heard.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
A good one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They all spin round. Carter and O'Neill have their weapons drawn. We see a man in white robes and the appearance of an Enkaran step through a doorway.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I am Lotan. You need not fear me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(unconvinced)<br/><br />
Yeah&hellip;listen, what’s going on around here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I have been assembled in order to more easily facilitate communication between this ship as you call it and yourselves.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and O'Neill exchange worried glances.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Assembled you say?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I am a biomechanical representation of the beings now occupying this planet. When they were first encountered several Enkarans were scanned by the ship and a randomised but similar appearance was selected.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Wait a second, that was yesterday! This ship analysed a new life form and created a new replica in one day?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan holds out his hands and studies them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Fascinating as I am.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I suppose that explains why you look like an Enkaran.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Sort of!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan stares at Carter with a puzzled expression. Carter immediately raises her gun again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
You are not!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Err no&hellip;we’re from a planet called Earth. This is Major Samantha Carter, I’m Daniel Jackson. This is Jack O'Neill and this is Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel points to everyone as he introduces them. Lotan looks at Teal'c who bows his head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Actually we’re friends of the people your ship seems bent on wiping out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes, that is unfortunate. I was created to deliver a message to them. However by the time I was completed the Enkarans in the immediate vicinity seemed to have disappeared.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, see, that’s called running away. What one does to avoid being slaughtered!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan looks at O'Neill confused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
There are still quite a few Enkarans living on the planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Since you are friends with the Enkarans would you deliver the message to them?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
That would depend.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
When the transformation process was first begun there were no sentient life forms present.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, well there are now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes. Unfortunately for your friends once the process has begun it must be completed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks worriedly at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Are you saying someone went to the trouble of making you just to come here to tell those folks, tough luck, get out?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
We wish no harm to come to the Enkarans. However upon examination of their physiology it had been determined that they will not be able to exist in the planets transformed environment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
So stop transforming it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(to O'Neill)<br/><br />
Jack, they’re just trying to get the point across the best way possible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(angrily)<br/><br />
I know what the point is. It’s the PR guy.<br/><br />
(to Lotan)<br/><br />
I think we should be talking to your boss.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Assumption of hierarchical command structure! Interesting, follow me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks back at O'Neill who nods. Daniel replaces the sample that he has been examining, closes the drawer and they follow Lotan. We see SG-1 follow Lotan into another chamber. Lotan stops by a console and activates it. In the centre of the chamber we see that an image of an alien being is projected. SG-1 all stare at it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
The ship is fully automated. The beings that built it are called the Gadmere.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 look at the Gadmere appearance. It is a completely alien form.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Not exactly ET!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
They have placed all of their knowledge within the ships memory. Science, mathematics, medicine, art, philosophy. Ten thousand years of civilisation. This is their legacy, they were a very advanced race compared to the Enkarans. However they were also peaceful and fell victim to a superior military power. So they built this ship in the hopes that their world would be born again far from the reach of their enemies.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel walks over to the image.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
This is fascinating. I’d love a chance to study some of it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I could provide you with translations. Your language is simple by comparison.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Excuse me, about why we’re here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
The ship has only enough raw material to transform one planet. Now that the transformation has been started it must be finished here or the entire Gadmere civilisation will be lost forever. The Enkarans must leave of they will die.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Alright, now see, right there we’ve got a problem!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The Enkarans cannot leave.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Their lives depend on the very rare environmental conditions that are unique to this planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
That is unfortunate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Lotan amazed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
That’s it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Please explain the situation to the Enkarans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
But&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 are enveloped in the orange light again and are beamed off the ship.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HEDRAZAR'S VILLAGE '''<br />
<br />
[We see Eliam talking to Hedrazar and other villagers. He looks round and sees SG-1 approaching.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
They’re back!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He runs over to SG-1.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
Well&hellip;did you speak with the Aliens?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
In a way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hedrazar sees the looks on SG-1’s faces.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
It did not go well?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
No. It didn’t.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN ENTRANCE&mdash;DAY '''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CONTROL ROOM STAIRS '''<br />
<br />
[Carter and Hammond are walking up the stairs in the control room to the briefing room. Carter is explaining the situation.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The tests on the alien microbes show that they are also vulnerable to UV radiation. That’s probably why they chose this planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
The dense ozone layer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Among other things I’m sure. The same conditions that make P5S-381 ideal for the Enkarans make it ideal for the transformation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They step up into the briefing room where Daniel and O'Neill are sitting at the table. Carter and Hammond sit at the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Can this information be used to stop the alien ship?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I’m not sure how sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
That’s assuming we have a right to stop them at all.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks surprised at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Excuse me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don’t mean to sound insensitive to the Enkarans but we’d be interfering with the rebirth of an entire alien civilisation. Now if you believe Lotan, an incredibly advanced and peaceful one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
So the best society wins here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No I wasn’t saying that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
You’re talking about a bunch of freeze dried aliens whose civilisation was lost a long time ago. The Enkarans are there now!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don’t want to see anything happen to them either.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What about this robot? Could he be convinced to delay the transformation long enough for us to relocate the Enkarans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
The robot’s a robot sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
He’s basically just a messenger sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
But he was created in the image of the Enkarans so that they could relate to him, understand his explanation of what was happening to them and why. Now that could work to our advantage!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(unconvinced)<br/><br />
How?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, it might make him more sympathetic to their plight.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
It’s a robot!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and O'Neill stare at each other with growing tension.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
He is an incredibly advanced alien creation. We shouldn’t just assume that he’s incapable of reason or feelings.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well he didn’t seem very concerned with helping.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well if he’s capable of learning we might be able to get him to think outside his program.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
What if he isn’t and we can’t?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What do you propose Colonel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I say we throw everything we’ve got at that ship!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I’m sorry. I can’t authorise a military strike in this situation, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Look General. I apologise if all this seems to have taken on a personal edge for me. But we spent months getting to know these people. They trusted us and we screwed up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I understand your feeling. We’ve all invested a lot into this operation. No one wants to see it end badly for the Enkarans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks down realising the situation.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
But you’re not going to give me any effective weapons or personnel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Find another way out of this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond looks at the others.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Dismissed</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He gets up and walks away. O'Neill and Daniel look at each other, annoyed.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HEDRAZAR'S PLANET '''<br />
<br />
[Carter, Daniel and O'Neill walk back into the village. They walk up to where Teal'c, Eliam and Hedrazar are waiting. Eliam points at the alien ship in the distance.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
The alien ship draws closer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see the ship is not far from the village.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Hedrazar, you can still save the people of your village.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
Our resolve has not changed. We will not abandon the rest of our people.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Did General Hammond not authorise you to bring additional troops and weapons.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
No he didn’t.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
You brought us to this planet! We trusted you when you told us it was safe!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
You gave us technology to build our cities, to provide heat. Have you not any way to stop the ship?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill pauses and turns back to Carter and Daniel. They look at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
How much naquada is in that reactor we gave them?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and Carter look shocked.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What are you doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Thinking Daniel. Don’t worry about it too much.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Thinking of a way to blow up this ship. I’m not really sure that’s what General Hammond had in mind!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
They’re going to stand there and die. It’s a no won situation but we’re not going to stand around here and watch these people getting slaughtered.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And you're willing to blow up that ship to&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill interrupts him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(angrily)<br/><br />
Give me another choice!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well I don’t have one at the moment!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Apparently time is a factor here!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel says nothing in response. O'Neill looks at Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
How do you make a naquada bomb?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well sir, the reactor was designed specifically to prevent exactly that kind of&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Carter!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter thinks for a moment, obviously not happy with the situation.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Theoretically if I created a feedback loop, the energy would build up instead of being released. There would be a big explosion sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Big enough?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I think so.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Carter, I’m making a choice to help these people. But if you don’t make that bomb I’m out of options.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/></blockquote><br />
I know.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
So I have to order you to do it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She walks away to make the bomb. O'Neill looks at Daniel who obviously doesn’t agree with the situation.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PLANET '''<br />
<br />
[Carter is preparing the reactor. O'Neill is looking at the ship as it is slowly approaching. They are positioned near to a lake away from the village.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
How controlled is this going to be?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The focus of the blast will be aimed upwards. This ridge should protect the village but this is as close as I would put it. I’ve modified this remote to start the feedback loop. About a minute after you press this button the reactor should reach critical overload and blow.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Ship's ETA?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
About five zero minutes sir. But we should detonate before the ship’s directly overhead. There’s no telling what that beam will do to the reactor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
There’s one more thing sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter stands to look at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Once you detonate the reactor there’s no turning back. The overload can’t be stopped.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
Alright.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They walk to the edge of the water and get into the small speedboat there. They start it and head across the water to the village.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HEDRAZAR'S VILLAGE '''<br />
<br />
[Daniel and Teal'c are watching the approaching ship from the village. Teal'c is using binoculars to see the ship. Daniel suddenly turns and walks away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
(turning to Daniel)<br/><br />
Daniel Jackson&hellip;do you not plan on staying?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel turns to face Teal'c. He looks annoyed and has his hands in his pockets.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Err&hellip;no actually I was going to try and talk to Lotan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel turns again to walk away but Teal'c speaks again making him stop.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
If you warn Lotan of our plan it will prove ineffective.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I’m not going to give anything away. I just wanna try to prevent it from being necessary.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
Should you not remain until the return of Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well actually Jack asked me to give him another choice so&hellip;technically I’m following an order.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel this time walks away leaving Teal'c looking after him.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;ALIEN SHIP FROM ABOVE '''<br />
<br />
[We see an aerial view of the ship from high above. Then camera then suddenly zooms down to the ship and we see&hellip;]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SHIP '''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is beamed into a corridor of the ship. He walks down it and sees Lotan standing in a beam of energy with his arms raised above him. As Daniel gets closer the beam stops and Lotan looks at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Hello, Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hi.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel takes his glasses off and removes the sunglasses attachment. He then replaces his glasses and stares at Lotan uncertainly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Are the Enkarans going to leave the planet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Actually the Enkarans have no where else to go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
That is tough luck. While you were gone I took the opportunity to breathe some of the sulphur-based environment being created by the ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
How is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Not good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks around puzzled. Lotan activates a console and a form of music is heard. It is horrible to listen to and sounds like a jumble of different music forms.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
This music has not been heard in over a thousand years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel has his hand over his left ear. He looks as though the music is painful to listen to.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(unconvincingly)<br/><br />
It’s nice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
It sounds very unpleasant to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Really!?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes&hellip;this is not how it should sound.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns the music off. Daniel looks relieved but doesn’t say anything.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
How so?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
It seems as though the design of your ears&hellip;my ears&hellip;is not meant for it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Err&hellip;to be honest with you I’m here to see if you will consider alternate solutions to the problem faced by the Enkarans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan looks at Daniel puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I am not programmed to solve the problem faced by the Enkarans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Right&hellip;let me ask you something. What will happen to you when this is all over?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I will be reintegrated into the ships systems.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You mean you’ll die?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes I suppose that is one interpretation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Do you want to die?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
What I want is irrelevant.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Wouldn’t you like to&hellip;experience a little more of what it’s like to be an Enkaran before you’re reintegrated? I mean, see some of the planet before it’s completely transformed and maybe even meet the people?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
(puzzled)<br/><br />
For what purpose?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Because it might help you consider alternate solutions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I’m not programmed to consider alternate solutions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You said the ship will continue to process without you, correct?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes, as I have said. Its functions are fully automated.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well then no harm done. We’ll just&hellip;we’ll have a look around.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;LAKE '''<br />
<br />
[Carter and O'Neill pull up by the water edge in the boat. They are near the village. They start walking to the village.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, no disrespect intended but I’m having doubts as to whether or not we’re doing the right thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
What is that Carter? The right thing? We brought these people here. They depend on us. What else are they going to do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(frustrated)<br/><br />
I don’t know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She stops walking and O'Neill turns to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
You wanna talk me out of this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes sir!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She holds the trigger up towards him and he takes it slowly thinking about the situation.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Stay in contact.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He walks off to the village leaving Carter by the lake and the boat.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PLANET '''<br />
<br />
[Daniel and Lotan are walking along in the area surrounding the village. Daniel is showing Lotan the planet.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
The air is not as pure as that created for me on the ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It’s definitely&hellip;different.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
This is better.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I agree.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan stops and looks at some trees.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
These are trees.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(smiling)<br/><br />
Yes err&hellip;anywhere there’s oxygen you’re sure to find trees. They’re kinda like natures air filters.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Their design is most interesting.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He touches the leaves on a tree.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So is their function.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan smiles at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HEDRAZAR'S VILLAGE'''<br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill walk quickly up to Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Daniel Jackson has gone to speak to Lotan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(annoyed)<br/><br />
Did you try to stop him?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I do not disagree with his intentions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
You do know we’re going to try and blow up that ship?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I am aware of that as is Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill activates his radio to speak with Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Daniel&hellip;Daniel come in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(via radio)<br/><br />
I read you, Jack.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(yelling)<br/><br />
Tell me&hellip;tell me you’re not on that ship!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see Daniel walking along on the planet with Lotan. He activates his radio to reply to O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Ok, I’m not on the ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(annoyed)<br/><br />
What are you doing Daniel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I’m talking to Lotan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill turns to look at Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(to Teal'c)<br/><br />
Is he going to tell him about the bomb?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
He said he would not reveal our plan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see Carter standing at the Stargate looking at her watch.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to O'Neill via radio)<br/><br />
Sir we only have about 15 minutes!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(to Daniel via radio)<br/><br />
Daniel do you know what time it is?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Again we see Daniel and Lotan walking through a field near the village. Daniel talks quietly to O'Neill via the radio.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I am trying to give you another choice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(annoyed)<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Err&hellip;hang on, we’re on our way back to the village. Over and out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill turns back to Teal'c with an angry exhale of breath.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;VILLAGE SURROUNDING AREA '''<br />
<br />
[We see Daniel and Lotan still walking.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
You have disobeyed your superior.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Umm&hellip;no, not exactly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
You are not fulfilling your function Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see Daniel rub his head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well&hellip;you see that’s not true. I’m choosing the best way to fulfil my true function. You see, sometimes hierarchical command structures don’t allow you to consider all possible options.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan stops and stares at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I see.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Let’s err&hellip;let’s go to the village.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HEDRAZAR'S VILLAGE'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c are standing looking at the approaching ship with binoculars. Suddenly Daniel and Lotan materialise nearby. O'Neill runs over to Daniel with his arms spread in question.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Daniel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Lotan wanted to meet the Enkarans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Two Enkarans have approached Lotan and he is staring back at them. Suddenly Carter's voice is heard via the radio.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(via radio)<br/><br />
Ten minutes Sir!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MAIN VILLAGE TENT '''<br />
<br />
[We see Hedrazar, Eliam and the village elders sitting in the tent as Lotan and Daniel enter. Eliam walks over to them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hello Eliam&hellip;This is Lotan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel points at Lotan who steps forward. Eliam looks at Lotan puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
He looks Enkaran. But I have not met him before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c enter the tent. Daniel looks at them then turns back to Eliam.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Lotan is a representative of the aliens who build the ship. He was created in your image in order to better communicate the ships mission and the danger you are in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Nikka is explain what is happening to Hedrazar in the background.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
And yet he does not stop it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No&hellip;Lotan this is Eliam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hedrazar gets up from her chair and walks over to Lotan, Daniel and Eliam with Nikka.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
This is his wife, Nikka, and this is Hedrazar, the leader of the village.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hedrazar walks right up to Lotan and feels his face.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
Are you now able to see the lives that will be extinguished if the ship continues its current path?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes, Lotan is aware of that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan stares at Hedrazar.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
She is without sight.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hedrazar rejoins Eliam and Nikka.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It’s something that was happening to them on the planet where we first met. They were dying. This was the only planet we could find where we knew they could survive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I am aware of their physiological needs.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes, of course.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan looks over at Nikka who is heavily pregnant. Eliam puts a protective hand on her stomach.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
That one is going to give birth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes to err&hellip;a new Enkaran life.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
There will be no Enkaran life at all if your ship does not stop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill interrupts.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I think we’re all aware of the situation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes, you have brought me here to elicit sympathy for these people.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well actually&hellip;they’re your people in a way Lotan. You were created in their image.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I was not created to prevent their demise Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
But&hellip;don’t you wish you could?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
The ship calls me back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Why?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I must go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Take me with you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill steps forward anxiously.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
No&hellip;Daniel, no!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see the orange light reflect on O'Neill as Daniel and Lotan are beamed back to the ship.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;STARGATE'''<br />
<br />
[We see Carter standing near the Stargate looking at her watch.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to O'Neill via radio)<br/><br />
Five minutes sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(via radio)<br/><br />
Lotan just took Daniel back up to the ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks up surprised.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What&hellip;sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(annoyed)<br/><br />
He asked to go!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, what are we going to do sir, the ship is almost in position.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She looks at the ship through her binoculars]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ALIEN SHIP '''<br />
<br />
[We see Lotan and Daniel walk into the chamber where the holographic projector is. It shows the planet landscape and a blip where the bomb is.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
The ship has detected an unusual device. It appears to be capable of emitting great amounts of energy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan looks back at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Is this device intended to try and stop the ship as the Enkaran named Eliam suggested?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Look Lotan, I don’t agree with what they’re doing but I also don’t want to see you wipe out those people!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
If they will not leave there is no other option.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;STARGATE '''<br />
<br />
[Carter is looking at the ship through her binoculars.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to O'Neill via radio)<br/><br />
The ship is in position sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill and Teal'c in the village staring at the approaching ship. O'Neill is thinking about the situation. He clearly doesn’t know what to do about Daniel being on the ship.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(at Stargate)<br/><br />
If you’re going to do it, do it now!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill look at Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
Daniel Jackson has made his choice O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill still looks hesitant. He looks over at the villagers huddled together near the tents then holds up the overload trigger.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He presses the trigger and then stares at the ship.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;NAQUADAH REACTOR '''<br />
<br />
[We see the reactor trigger go off and it starting to overload.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SHIP '''<br />
<br />
[We see Lotan and Daniel staring at the readout.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
The device has entered an active state.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Lotan if you wanted to, can you stop the ship?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
As I have said&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANEL<br/><br />
(hurriedly)<br/><br />
Yes I know what you said, it isn’t about what you want. Just please answer the question. Can you stop the ship?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
It would be possible, yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Ok, then think about this. Think about the people down there and all the life forms you would be destroying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I am programmed to serve the life on this ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel turns away quickly thinking. He suddenly looks up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You say that were an advanced civilisation, ten thousand years of history?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They had laws, justice?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
A respect for life?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Then how can that world be recreated through an act of mass murder?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan turns his head thoughtfully at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Wouldn’t that be a betrayal of everything they stood for? You said you were made to communicate. You’re not here simply to serve life on this ship, you’re here to protect the integrity of life on this ship! There’s a big difference. Are you really fulfilling your true function by allowing this to happen?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan stares at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;STARGATE '''<br />
<br />
[We see Carter looking at the ship.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to O'Neill via radio)<br/><br />
Sixty seconds to detonation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly the ship stops and Carter looks at it.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;VILLAGE '''<br />
<br />
[In the village we see Teal'c and O'Neill stare at the stopped ship]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The ship has stopped O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks surprised and the villagers look relieved for the moment.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(via radio)<br/><br />
Daniel must have got through to them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill gives a half smile. He activates his radio.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Daniel, if you can hear me you’ve got thirty seconds&hellip;three zero, over.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[We see Lotan and Daniel looking at the readout of the device.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Err&hellip;about the device.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
It is still active.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes, can you do anything about that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan presses some buttons on the console and the ‘bomb’ is beamed into the chamber. Daniel looks at it aghast!]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Do you know how to deactivate it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan stares at the reactor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Intriguing design.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Err&hellip;yeah Lotan we really don’t have time for this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
How much time do we have?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;STARGATE '''<br />
<br />
[We see Carter staring at her watch.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Five, four, three, two, one!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill and Teal'c. O'Neill is not looking at the ship. Just then the bomb is shot out from the ship and explodes harmlessly away in the sky. We see Eliam and Nikka looking up at the exploding bomb. Hedrazar is panicking about the situation as she cannot see what is going on.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
What is going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
The ship remains!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SHIP '''<br />
<br />
[We see Daniel and Lotan looking at a display of the explosion.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
A powerful explosion.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We were desperate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
The conflict remains unresolved. I must eventually resume the transformation process on this planet or the Gadmere civilisation will be lost.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He walks over to Lotan who is working at a console.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Many millions of planets were scanned, to match the right conditions for the transformation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks at him puzzled. We see the holographic projector showing images of the millions of planets.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Only one met the specifications.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Just out of curiosity, were any others even close?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Two thousand, six hundred and thirty four parameters had to be exactly right for the&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(interrupting)<br/><br />
For the transformation process, yes but what about for the Enkarans?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan looks puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I do not understand.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well maybe the Enkarans don’t need exactly the same environment as the transformation process, just a very similar one. Now you know their physiology better than anyone. Do any of the planets scanned by the ship match the needs of the Enkarans?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan presses some buttons on the console and the image of one planet is displayed. He and Daniel look at it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Here. This planet would be appropriate for the Enkarans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks surprised at Lotan.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I regret that I didn’t consider this possibility Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, you would have gotten there eventually.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
This planet was rejected by the ship because three of the parameters were not correct. The core temperature was too warm, the size was too large and there were intelligent life forms already present.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Intelligent life forms?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan turns to Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Based on their description I believe they were Enkaran.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MAIN VILLAGE TENT '''<br />
<br />
[We see O'Neill, Carter and Teal'c walk into the tent to talk to Hedrazar.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
So, what shall we do now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly the tent is engulfed in the orange light and Lotan and Daniel materialise in the tent.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
(concerned)<br/><br />
What is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It’s ok, don’t err&hellip;don’t be afraid.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill walks over to Daniel and Lotan.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
What’s going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(to the villagers)<br/><br />
Lotan would like to offer you a compromise.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
The ship has expended too many of the resources needed for the transformation process to begin on another planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hedrazar and Eliam look confused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
I require that you give up this world.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill rolls his eyes at these words.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ELIAM<br/><br />
How is that a compromise?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(smiling)<br/><br />
We’ve found the original Enkaran home world.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The villagers all gasp. Hedrazar stands up and walks forward excitedly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It was one of several million scanned by the ship before it settled on this one and it was rejected partly on the presence of intelligent life forms.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(unconvinced)<br/><br />
He’s telling us this now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well he didn’t know and technically he’s just a day and a half old so&hellip;give him a break.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
We will gladly accept this offer to return to the home of our ancestors.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Eliam and Nikka smile and nod at this.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How do we get them there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The Enkaran home world has no Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They all look at Daniel and Lotan.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well actually I have this friend with a big spaceship who’s willing to take them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
(amazed)<br/><br />
Is this possible?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
Yes, once you are safely to your home planet I will be reintegrated into the ships systems and the ship will be returned here to complete the transformation process.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Does that have to happen, the part about you having to be reintegrated?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
What other option is there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
But you are Enkaran. You must stay with us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>LOTAN<br/><br />
That is not contrary to my programming.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Enkarans stare at Lotan puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(smiling)<br/><br />
Lotan says thank you, he’d like that very much!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hedrazar steps forward.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEDRAZAR<br/><br />
Spread the word among the villages. We are going home!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Lotan smiles at Daniel who in turn looks and smiles at O'Neill. O'Neill gives a half hearted smile back.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PLANET SHOT '''<br />
<br />
[We see SG-1 waving goodbye to Hedrazar, Eliam, Nikka and the last few villagers as they are beamed up into the ship. It then leaves the planet.]<br />
<br />
'''FADE OUT '''<br />
<br />
'''THE END'''<br />

<br />
Capt. Samantha Carter's father, Jacob, enlists the SG-1 team in his hunt for the ancient Goa'uld Lord Seth, whom he believes is hiding on Earth. A computer search reveals Seth has maintained power on Earth for thousands of years using false religion and the SG-1 team trace him to a heavily armed compound in Washington State. Outside the compound they clash with a team of action-happy ATF men led by the adversarial Special Agent James Hamner, and they meet Levinson, a frantic father who's desperate to rescue his son Tom from Seth's cult. Colonel Jack O'Neill, Carter, and Dr. Daniel Jackson break into the compound but within minutes they fall victim to the biological agent Seth uses to brainwash his followers into doing his bidding.<br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC COMMAND CENTER'''<br />
<br />
[The Stargate is activating. Hammond rushes up into the Command Center.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
Receiving a signal, Sir. It's the Kelownans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Open the iris.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The technician places his hand on the screen reader. The gate iris slides open.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond enters the gate room and stands at the bottom of the ramp. Jonas Quinn steps through the gate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Mr. Quinn, it's good to see you again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jonas comes down the ramp to meet Hammond.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
It's good to see you too, Sir. Only wish it was under better circumstances. We need to talk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Jonas is standing to make his presentation as SG-1 and General Hammond are seated at the conference table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
For the past several months, we've been analyzing the data on the crystal left behind by Thanos. It was the Goa'uld that occupied our planet three thousand years ago. Now, our progress at first was very slow but we recently made a major, major discovery. Uh&hellip; It turns out that Naquadria was not originally present.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jonas reaches into a file and pulls out some papers and places them in the middle of the table for everyone. Carter reaches for the papers]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What do you mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
It's not native to our planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don't understand. It exists in mineral deposits underground.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
I know it does now, but we believe that those deposits were originally made up of ordinary Naquada.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(To Carter)<br/><br />
I assume this makes sense to you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Actually, no it doesn't.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
We found a reference to a process the Goa'uld discovered which allowed them to convert raw Naquada into Naquadria while it's still in the ground. Now somehow it started a change reaction which has continued on down through the veins getting deeper and deeper and deeper, and we believe that the process is ongoing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Are you saying that at this very moment, there are deposits of Naquada on your planet that are being transformed into Naquadria?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Yes, one very large one in particular. We only recently discovered it because it's so many miles beneath the surface of our planet. But as the conversion process goes deeper, the heat and pressure get higher.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And Naquadria is highly unstable.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
We believe that when it reaches a certain depth, it's going to explode&hellip; with enough force to obliterate Kelowna.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''END TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;KELOWNA'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;JONAS' LAB'''<br />
<br />
[Jonas and Carter are there. Jonas is working on a laptop as Carter is checking out the lab, eventually making her way over to Jonas.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
The first few references to the conversion process that we found were pretty vague. To tell the truth, I was half convinced that I had made a mistake in the translation, then we came across these test results which show the ratio of Naquada to Naquadria achieved in the process. Check this out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So the Naquada that isn't converted breaks down into lighter elements?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
You know, for the longest time I was wondering why we never found any Naquadria anywhere else in the galaxy and now I'm thinking it's because it doesn't exist in nature at all.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Which would explain why none of the other Goa'uld knew about it until Anubis probed your mind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The door opens and a female Kelownan walks in, her head looking down at something in her hands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
We've got the latest geological data. It looks like&hellip;<br/><br />
(Sees Carter)<br/><br />
Oh, hello.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hi.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Oh, uh&hellip; Samantha Carter this is Kianna Seer. Sam&hellip;Carter. She helps me out on the translations.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
I've heard a lot about you, Major. We could really use your expertise right now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
What do you got?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
It looks like the Naquadria has progressed deeper then we thought.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How much time do we have?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
A few weeks, a month. It's hard to say.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, We need to know how the conversion process works if we want to find a way to stop it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Yeah, but the information stored on the crystal is incomplete.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, then we'll have to figure it out for ourselves.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Klaxons sound while Hammond stands before the opened gate waiting for incoming travelers. Daniel and Hammond are standing at the bottom of the ramp. Three Kelownans emerge from the gate and walk down the ramp.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Ambassador, welcome to Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DREYLOCK<br/><br />
Actually, it's First Minister now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Bows his head slightly in greeting)<br/><br />
First Minister.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DREYLOCK<br/><br />
(Nodding to her companions.)<br/><br />
This is Vin Eremal and Lucia Tarthus. The Tiranian and Andari representatives on the Joint Ruling Council.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Councilors.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond glances at Daniel then back to the councilors.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Right this way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and Hammond lead the three out of the gate room.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O’Neill, Daniel and Teal’c stand at the conference table as the Langarans move into the room. Hammond moves to the head of the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TARTHUS<br/><br />
(somewhat perturbed)<br/><br />
I assumed Jonas Quinn would be joining us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DREYLOCK<br/><br />
He sends his apologies, but at the moment he is devoting his attention to the Naquadria problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EREMAL<br/><br />
Has any progress been made?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[All take their seats at the conference table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DREYLOCK<br/><br />
So far, very little I'm afraid. But I believe that with the participation of our friends from Earth, a solution will be found soon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Of course, we all hope that's the case, however you may want to begin considering some contingency plans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
We can offer you limited relocation through the Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DREYLOCK<br/><br />
Limited?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
A full evacuation of an industrialized world is a practical impossibility.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TARTHUS<br/><br />
I'm not sure I understand. You invited us here to propose that we abandon Langara?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O’Neill is confused by the name and looks to Daniel, who is seemingly just as confused. Dreylock sees this.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DREYLOCK<br/><br />
Langara is the new name of our planet. It's from an ancient dialect common to all three nations.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EREMAL<br/><br />
(Scornful)<br/><br />
A symbol of our new unity.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Emerel casts a long look at Dreylock, who reacts to his disdain.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(Attempting to lighten things up)<br/><br />
Has a nice ring to it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EREMAL<br/><br />
(Not hiding his contempt)<br/><br />
It was chosen by a committee.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TARTHUS<br/><br />
We understand that if this problem cannot be solved, Kelowna will suffer severe devastation. At which point, we are prepared to offer humanitarian aid to the survivors.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EREMAL<br/><br />
Of course, we have limited resources but we pledge to do what we can.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Are you&hellip;kidding?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(puzzled)<br/><br />
Has no one explained this to you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DREYLOCK<br/><br />
We've tried. They seem unwilling to accept the truth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TARTHUS<br/><br />
If you knew more about our history, you'd understand our reluctance to believe Kelownan propaganda.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, our own scientists have studied the problem, and while it is true that Kelowna will bear the brunt of the initial explosion - in fact, by our calculations, almost half the country's land mass will be destroyed - you're not taking into account the amount of dust and debris that’ll be thrown into the upper atmosphere. It will block the sunlight and lower the average surface temperature significantly. For all intents and purposes, your entire planet will be uninhabitable.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Tarthus is stunned by the news, while Emerel shifts uncomfortably in his chair.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;JONAS' LAB'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is working out some equations on the blackboard, while Kianna paces with paperwork. Jonas is at his work table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
(Frustrated)<br/><br />
This doesn't make any sense. Naquadria is a heavier, less stable isotope then Naquada. The conversion should require the continuous input of large amounts of energy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Yeah, but it seems to be continuing on its own.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
Which is impossible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Not necessarily. Low energy fusion can occur in the presence of certain subatomic catalysts like muons.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
But I believe that only works for extremely light materials such as Deuterium.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Wow, Kelownan understanding of particle physics seems to have come a long way recently.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
We're quick learners.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, in any case, I wasn't thinking about muons specifically. There are certain other subatomic particles which could have catalyzed this reaction. The real question is, why didn't this planet blow up a long time ago?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
What do you mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I think the reason you haven't been able to figure out the process is because you've been working under the assumption that this transformation began three thousand years ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
But that's what the historical data indicates.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Maybe so. But if you put that aside for a moment and assume the presence of the right catalysts, you can account for this reaction. It's just a lot faster then you thought.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
How much faster?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, a deposit the size of the one you recently discovered could take as little as a few years to transform completely.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The room starts shaking violently. Each grab onto a piece of furniture as items rattle, some dropping from shelves. The quaking stops and they all look at each other.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What was that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC COMMAND CENTER'''<br />
<br />
[The klaxons are sounding while the gate is activated. Carter’s face in on a computer monitor as Hammond stands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
Receiving video transmission, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(Seeing Carter)<br/><br />
Major, what's your situation?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Most of the fires that were caused by the Earthquake are under control now, Sir. Dr Frasier’s organizing the distribution of medical supplies.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I find it hard to believe that this was a coincidence.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It wasn't. We traced the epicenter of the quake to a small deposit of converted Naquadria located about 20 kilometers below the surface.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
A small pocket?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
When the main deposit goes, Sir, we estimate the explosion will be about a hundred thousand times more powerful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond is concerned.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The Langarans and SG-1 are still seated at the conference table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>EREMAL<br/><br />
This planet&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
Madronus.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EREMAL<br/><br />
And how far away is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
Approximately 14,000 light years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(lightly)<br/><br />
Give or take.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
The Madronans are a peaceful, advanced society with the resources to accept many thousands of refugees.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TARTHUS<br/><br />
Jonas Quinn's reports refer to several uninhabited planets capable of sustaining life. The Andari government might consider relocation if one of these were made available.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
Without infrastructure, any uninhabited planet would not be able to sustain as many Langaran refugees.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TARTHUS<br/><br />
I'm not suggesting one planet for all of us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(surprised)<br/><br />
You want your own planet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TARTHUS<br/><br />
The Andari people would welcome a fresh start, given the oppression we've suffered in the past.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EREMAL<br/><br />
The only thing you suffered under Tiranian rule was peace and good government.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TARTHUS<br/><br />
And mass arrests, summary executions&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EREMAL<br/><br />
In response to terrorist acts against innocent civilians.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Whoaaa! Whoa! We're getting a bit off topic here, don't you think?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Three separate relocations is just not practical. Madronus is your best bet to save as many lives as possible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Langarans look at each other.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN ENTRANCE'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC&mdash;CARTER'S LAB'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond and Dreylock walk in to meet with Jonas and Major Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DREYLOCK<br/><br />
(greeting)<br/><br />
Jonas. Major Carter. General Hammond tells me that you've discovered something about the conversion process.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks at Jonas, and Jonas shrugs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, we determined that the transformation must have begun with a massive bombardment of certain subatomic particles which catalyze the reaction and allow it to continue without the input of energy. It's possible to create these particles in the lab, but there's really only one way they could have been produced in sufficient quantity and with enough energy to penetrate several miles into the crust of the planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
It was the Naquadria bomb test. The test that was conducted two years ago. We did this to ourselves.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Dreylock looks alarmed, pensive.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DREYLOCK<br/><br />
Historical documents indicate that Thanos was destroyed in some cataclysmic event. Maybe this was the explosion that triggered the chain reaction.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It did, at least in the case of the Naquada deposit near the surface.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
It appears that Thanos managed to create a small amount of Naquadria in the lab but something went wrong. The resulting explosion released the subatomic particles which catalyzed the conversion of the first vein of Naquada. The rest of the deposit transformed in less than a year.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
After that, it simply lay in the ground. Another ten-thousand years and it would have decayed back into Naquada, if&hellip;you hadn't mined it first.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Then we set off the bomb, which started the conversion of the second deeper vein.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Dreylock takes this in.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Emerel angrily slams his hand on the table. Dreylock is there, along with O’Neill, Daniel, Teal’c and Hammond.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>EREMAL<br/><br />
This is outrageous! If what you say is true, the Kelownan government bears full responsibility for the imminent destruction of Langara!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DREYLOCK<br/><br />
Your governments formed an alliance for the expressed purpose of attacking Kelowna, we were merely looking to defend ourselves.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TARTHUS<br/><br />
We only went to a heightened war alert after we learned of your research.</blockquote><br />
<br />

And yet, curiously, they don't seem to understand, nor care.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
(sighing)<br/><br />
No matter how many times we go over this, we're still going to come to the same conclusion. There's simply no way to reverse the process.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Maybe we don't have to. According to the latest geological data, there's a minor fault line crossing the vein of Naquada, about a kilometer above the large deposit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter hands the papers containing the data to Jonas.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
If we could somehow trigger a move along the fault line, we could isolate the advancing Naquadria and break off the chain reaction before it gets any deeper.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
And how do we do that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We set off a large explosion near the fault. Stargate Command could provide a small nuclear device that would do the trick. The only problem is that we'd have to get down there. Which means drilling through 20 kilometers of solid rock.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kianna and Jonas give each other long, knowing looks. Carter picks up on this.]<br />

The&hellip;uh&hellip;fore and aft sections have both been outfitted with titanium cutter heads. Each of which can withstand or apply thrust of up to fifty metric tons.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What kind of an advance rate are we talking about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Uh&hellip;about 80 meters per hour. Hey, look I know it's not fast enough but I do have an idea for a little adjustment that will give us a lot more speed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Tokra tunnel crystals!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Modified, of course, to work in conjunction with the cutter heads.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
Everybody has an agenda, Jonas, and her people have made no secret of their interest in our Naquadria deposits.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Look, I've wanted to come forward with this for a long time, but I always got overruled by the cabinet. Now we have no choice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
We don't need her. We can go to the Tok’ra ourselves.</blockquote><br />

We had every intention of telling you once the prototype was fully operational.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Clearing his throat loudly)<br/><br />
I think we can all agree that it’s unfortunate the Kelownan government didn't come forward with this information sooner. Um, however, regarding the Tok’ra crystals, you really have no choice. Without them, we won’t be able to reach the Naquadria vein in time to save your world. It's that simple.</blockquote><br />

Well, I did make a few suggestions for some adjustments based on what I learned at Stargate Command.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Pretty amazing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Yeah. I'll tell you, most of the credit goes to Kianna.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Kianna?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Yeah, she took what she learned from me and she made modifications to the hydraulics, the shielding mechanisms, everything. I'm telling you, without her, this thing would be months away from being operational.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So you two have been working pretty closely on this.</blockquote><br />

What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Jonas, did you design the primary power distribution circuits?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Well, I didn't really design anything. I did make some suggestions for some upgrades, but&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />

Based on advanced technology you encountered while you were with SG-1.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />

<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Well, that's impossible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I went over it three times. I probably wouldn't have even noticed myself if I hadn't calculated that the generators were operating at 130% efficiency.</blockquote><br />

[One of the guards pulls a small object from Kianna's jacket. Carter moves closer to examine the object.]<br />
<br />

I'm assuming that this is the drug that allowed you to escape detection. It somehow masks the presence of the symbiote, right?</blockquote><br />

You don't have to tell me, I'm sending this back to the SGC for analysis.</blockquote><br />

So you work for Ba'al?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
I gained access to Kelowna's most sensitive research by implanting myself in a young scientist who was working on the Naquadria project.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Let me talk to Kianna.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
In a small way I've grown to admire this host. She is exceptionally astute, a superior specimen.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Let me talk to her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
I made the major modifications to the excavator. If you wish to successfully complete this undertaking, you will require my assistance.</blockquote><br />

Why would you help us?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
We share a common goal: I too wish to save this world.</blockquote><br />

She's right, you're going to need her. Let her help you, for the sake of our people.</blockquote><br />
<br />

It's not her Jonas. It's the Goa'uld trying to fool us. We've seen it before.</blockquote><br />

No. Jonas, please.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>TARTHUS<br/><br />
Could this be the result of Goa'uld sabotage?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Quite the contrary. Major Carter believes the Goa'uld's modifications have significantly improved the speed and efficiency of the drills.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You see, the problem is the system requires constant subtle adjustments to account for any changes in the density of the material that it's passing through. It's kind of like shifting gears on a racecar.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Langarans are confused by the analogy.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Um, the point is that Major Carter isn't confident in her own ability to run the drill. She thinks the best person for the job is the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TARTHUS<br/><br />
(scoffing)<br/><br />
You can't be serious.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
We could overhaul the system and eliminate the modifications, but that would significantly reduce the speed of the excavator and it would take weeks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EREMAL<br/><br />
We don't have that kind of time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The Goa'uld could have sabotaged the excavator any time she wanted to. Instead, she helped Jonas improved several of its key systems.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DREYLOCK<br/><br />
Only because she wishes to preserve the Naquadria deposit for Ba'al.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Maybe so, but averting the explosion is our first priority, and without the Goa'uld, we have no chance.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
And yet the fact remains, you never knew the host before I took her. All this time it was never Kianna, it was always me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She leaves the room.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;EXCAVATOR INTERIOR&mdash;BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[Kianna makes her way down the latter. The ship shakes and an alarm sounds.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
What is happening?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm not sure. We're still on course, still descending.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They all swap seats again and Jonas arrives.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
(Looking at a computer monitor)<br/><br />
Hull temperature is rising rapidly. 300 degrees, 400 degrees and still rising.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Jonas, is there any volcanic activity in the area?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Mount Kallan. But it's been dormant for hundreds of years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Just because it's dormant at the surface, doesn't mean there couldn't be magma flows in the vicinity.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
Hull temperature is 700 degrees and still rising.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We're passing through a river of molten rock.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kianna looks at Jonas.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill is coming out of an elevator and sees Daniel coming towards him. Daniel sees him and they start walking together.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Daniel, how's the whole diplomacy thing working out for you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It's not.<br/><br />
(frustrated)<br/><br />
The latest arguements about the selection process. The Kelownans want a lottery. The Tiranians want to assign positions and the Andaris wanna set up a committee to discuss the problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I keep trying to remind them that they're facing total annihilation, but they can't seem to face their own mistrust.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill grabs Daniel by the shoulders and turns him around so that they're facing each other.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I think I can help you out on this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He walks off, leaving a puzzled Daniel staring at O'Neill's retreating figure.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Bemusement turning to alarm)<br/><br />
What do you mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;EXCAVATOR INTERIOR'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c eyes the monitor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
Hull temperature is 1100 degrees.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
The ship will not take much more of this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Divert power to the shields.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
We have no way of knowing how thick this vein of magma is. If we turn back now, we may get out alive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I said divert power to the shields!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The two women stare each other down for a moment. Kianna finally relents.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
Power diverted. Although I'm not sure how much difference it will make.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
Hull temperature is 1200 degrees.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
Do you really want to risk your life for the people of this world, Major? I am not so sure they would do the same for you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Metal screeches and a pipe bursts, emitting hot steam.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
We're losing hull integrity.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kianna stands and reaches nearby for a control. The steam stops, but alarms still blare and the vehicle groans.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Teal'c?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
Hull temperature is dropping. 1100 degrees and still falling.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(sighing)<br/><br />
We made it through.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
Very impressive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The three recalcitrant councilors stand by the table and continue arguing.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DREYLOCK<br/><br />
Kelowna will accept nothing less than equal representation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EREMAL<br/><br />
Really? Kelowna is solely responsible for this problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel is looking very fed up. As they argue he shifts his gaze to an SF standing nearby.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DREYLOCK<br/><br />
Need I remind you that the Stargate is in our possession?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TARTHUS<br/><br />
For the moment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DREYLOCK<br/><br />
Is that a threat?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TARTHUS<br/><br />
It's an assurance that when it comes to the survival of our people, we will do whatever is necessary.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What, so now you wanna go to war? My friends are trying to save your world and you wanna destroy it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Hammond arrive via the stairwell.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, save your breath, Daniel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks defeated as O'Neill walks into the room with Hammond.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(To the Langarans)<br/><br />
You folks are done.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The three Langarans stare at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DREYLOCK<br/><br />
I don't understand.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Well, you see, we actually like the Madronans. They're nice people. And we've decided, there's no way we'd subject them to the likes of you. Deal's off. You're toast.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks uncomfortable but keeps his eyes on the Langarans.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TARTHUS<br/><br />
General?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill's right. You can stay until we hear back from Jonas and Major Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Langarans exchange glances then look back at O'Neill and the general.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(Smiling)<br/><br />
That's what you get for dickin' around.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;EVACATOR INTERIOR'''<br />
<br />
[The sound of the drill can be heard, but it appears to be having problems.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Something's wrong. We're losing speed. 1.5 metres per second and slowing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
It is the forward drills. They were damaged by the magma. They are coming apart.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We've stopped.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
Forward drills finished.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She starts to shut of switches]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
Cutting power.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
This is as deep as we're gonna get.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
What is our position?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We're still over a kilometre from the target.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
What happens if we drop the bomb here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We're too far from the faultline. Detonating from this position would be pointless.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
Then we have failed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They all exchange looks, each at a loss.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;EXCAVATOR INTERIOR'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We're gonna have to go back to the surface and repair the ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
There's too much damage. That's gonna take us weeks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm sorry Jonas but we don't have a choice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
We still have some Tokra crystals in reserve. We can use those to tunnel the rest of the way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They'd never make it far enough.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Yeah, but if we focus them, we can at least dig a passage big enough for one person. That would give us the distance we need.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It might work. But at this depth, the heat and the noxious gasses would penetrate even a Tokra tunnel. It will be suicide.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
I will go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They all look at her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
Do not worry, Major Carter. I may be intrigued by your willingness to sacrifice yourself for others, but I do not share it. My symbiote will protect me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Why take the risk?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
You still think of me as nothing but a servant of Ba'al. You are mistaken.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
You haven't told him about the Naquadria?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
Not yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You want it for yourself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She eyes them for a moment.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
In any case, the fact remains I am the only one that can complete this mission.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter helps Kianna prepare to enter the tunnel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
(Descending the ladder)<br/><br />
The tunnel is complete.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Are you sure you understand the detonation procedure?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
Of course, it is a simple enough device.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kianna heads down the ladder into the tunnel, with Jonas watching her descend. Teal'c seals the door behind her.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;TUNNEL'''<br />
<br />
[Kianna makes her way down into the tunnel.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;EXCAVATOR INTERIOR'''<br />
<br />
[Carter, Teal'c and Jonas wait silently. Carter eyes the monitor to check Kianna's progress.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;TUNNEL'''<br />
<br />
[She eventually crawls to her destination.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
(panting)<br/><br />
I am in position.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She takes her pack off and pulls the bomb from it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
I am setting the detonator.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;EXCAVATOR INTERIOR'''<br />
<br />
[An alarm sounds on one of the monitors. Carter jumps up to check.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh, this is not good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;TUNNEL'''<br />
<br />
[Kianna is placing the bomb.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(Via radio)<br/><br />
Kianna, this is Major Carter. Do you read?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
Go ahead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;EXCAVATOR INTERIOR'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We're losing power. I think the generators have been damaged.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;TUNNEL'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
I was afraid of that. How much power do you have left?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;EXCAVATOR INTERIOR'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We're down to 70%</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;TUNNEL'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
(breathing heavily)<br/><br />
So much for my empire.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(via radio)<br/><br />
Say again?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
If you begin your ascent now, you may have enough power to reach the surface.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We're not leaving you behind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
You have no choice. If the power drops below 50%, you will not even be able to restart the engines. I am already dead, if you wait, you die, too.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;EXCAVATOR INTERIOR'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
This is Jonas. There's still time left. Start back immediately.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;TUNNEL'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
If you're doing this out of concern for the host, you need not bother. The body is already severely damaged. Even if we make it back, I may not be able to keep her alive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;EXCAVATOR INTERIOR'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Listen to me, we're not going without you, so shut up and get moving.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Breathing heavily, Kianna starts to move slowly.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The Langarans are pacing.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DREYLOCK<br/><br />
We should have heard by now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TARTHUS<br/><br />
Something went wrong.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Tarthus and Dreylock look out over the gate room.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;EXCAVATOR INTERIOR'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(Eyeing the monitors)<br/><br />
Power's down to 53%. She's taking twice as long to get back as she took to get down there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
(keying the microphone)<br/><br />
Kianna, this is Jonas. Come in, over. Please respond.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
I believe we have no choice but to begin our ascent immediately.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They hear a bang on the hull below the shaft exit. Opening the door, Kianna is weakly hanging on to the rungs of the shaft's ladder. Teal'c reaches in and pulls her up. She is bruised and bloody, and he hands her over to Jonas.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
(taking Kianna)<br/><br />
All right, I'll take care of her. Get us out of here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter heads over to the console and Teal'c takes his station.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Powering up engines.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jonas closes the shaft.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
Beginning ascent.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
(Looking at Jonas)<br/><br />
You waited.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
You held up your end of the bargain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
Was that your only reason?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jonas says nothing.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
(smiling weakly)<br/><br />
I already know your answer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She closes her eyes.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The gate activates as the Klaxons sound.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC COMMAND CENTER'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond heads down the stairs to the Command Center with Emeral by his side. Dreylock and Tarthus follow them to the console.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PA SYSTEM<br/><br />
Unscheduled Offworld Activation</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
Receiving a signal sir. Audio only.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Put it though.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KELOWNAN<br/><br />
(via radio)<br/><br />
Kelownan gate control to First Minister Dreylock.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DREYLOCK<br/><br />
This is Dreylock. Go ahead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KELOWNAN<br/><br />
We're receiving reports from all over the country - a major seismic disturbance. Geological survery places the epicentre at the target coordinates.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EREMAL<br/><br />
They did it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DREYLOCK<br/><br />
Any word from the excavator.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KELOWNAN<br/><br />
Negative.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KELOWNA&mdash;EXCAVATOR INTERIOR'''<br />
<br />
[The vehicle shudders as it continues to make its ascent to the surface.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
Power reserves are nearly depleted.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We're almost there. Ten seconds.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jonas is holding onto Kianna.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Five seconds&hellip;four&hellip;three&hellip;two&hellip;one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The excavator breaks through the surface.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Jonas is standing on the ramp, staring at the gate when Daniel enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Miss it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Yeah, I do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The gate begins to activate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, judging from what you have to deal with back on Kelowna, I'm not surprised. I think I'd take life-threatening danger over one of those council meetings any day of the week.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Yeah, I tell ya, I don't know what Jack said to them, but they are being a little bit more cooperative.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, let's hope it lasts.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kianna enters the gate room, a bit bruised and battered, accompanied by Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
How are you feeling?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
Fine, I guess. I don't remember everything. It's like a dream</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The symbiote's dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
She saved me. She could have let me die with her, but she didn't.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The gate opens.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KIANNA<br/><br />
I know you may find this hard to believe, but she appreciated everything that you did for her. What you tried to do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jonas nods. He looks around a bit awkwardly, then shrugs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
(smiling)<br/><br />
Time to go home.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He shakes hands with Daniel and then walks up the ramp with Kianna. Carter and Daniel watch as both walk to the event horizon and back to Kelowna.]<br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''PREVIOUSLY, ON STARGATE SG-1'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;EARTH'''<br />
<br />
[Scene from "Prometheus" Season 6. The X-303, <i>Prometheus</i> rises above the ground, watched by three guards, who are completely dwarfed by the huge ship. O'Neill watches from a tent in the distance.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This is the <i>Prometheus</i>, otherwise known as the X-303.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[Scene from "Memento" Season 6. The X-303 leaves hyperspace and enters orbit around an alien planet.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[Gant and Carter look at the computer screen monitoring the engines.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GANT<br/><br />
Sir, computers are detecting a rapid energy build up in the naquadriah cells.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The jump must have triggered a power surge that overloaded the reactor control systems.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Stand by to jettison the reactor module!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The reactor module exits from the side of the ship. <i>Prometheus</i> speeds away as the reactor explodes above the planets surface.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Ronson and SG-1 discuss their options.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Even if we were to plot a course for Earth using maximum sub-light thrust, it would take years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P3X-744'''<br />
<br />
[The <i>Prometheus</i> lands on the planet's surface.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
(Off camera)<br/><br />
P3X-744. If we could make it there and gate home, we could get what we need to repair the ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''FADE OUT'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HYPERSPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The <i>Prometheus</i> speeds through a hyperspace window.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
[Elevator doors open to reveal Carter and Ronson in discussion. They leave the elevator and walk down the hallway.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
So this thing's different from a nebula, how?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, that's what makes it so exciting, Sir, we don't know exactly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
And it just so happens that this formation is in the vicinity of our next cool down co-ordinates.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It'll only be a little bit out of our way, Colonel, I promise. All I ask is 2 hours tops.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
If only so I can see the expression on your face first hand, the words kid and candy store come to mind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter smiles.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'll train to retain my composure, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Just keep in mind that our mission is to get this bird home in one piece.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>INTERCOM<br/><br />
Colonel Ronson, report to the bridge.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Must be time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter smiles and nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
After you Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He gestures for her to go first. They enter the bridge, and Ronson takes his seat in the middle of the bridge. Carter goes to the back of the bridge. Crewmen sit to each side of Ronson, one handling the navigation console, the other weapons. Several other personnel are scattered around the bridge, attending to their own duties.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GANT<br/><br />
Sir, the hyperdrive engines are reaching maximum safe temperature.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Shut 'em down Major Gant.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GANT<br/><br />
Yes Sir, dropping out of hyperspace.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The <i>Prometheus</i> exits a hyperspace window.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is standing in front of a large Perspex screen which displays a star chart. Ronson comes to join her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Major Carter, what's our progress?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, Sir, we covered 49 light years in the last leg. Considering the hyperdrive we're using was lifted from an Alkesh, I'd say that's pretty good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He nods]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It was originally designed for a ship one tenth this size.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Only five more of these pit stops and we're home.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods and smiles. An alarm starts to sound which catches both their attentions.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GANT<br/><br />
Colonel, a boogie just appeared on our sensors. Dead ahead, three thousand clicks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Can you identify it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GANT<br/><br />
Negative, Sir. It's closing in on our position very quickly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ronson re-takes his chair.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Sound general quarters.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The lights dim, and a klaxon starts to sound. Major Gant's radar screen shows the ship closing in on the <i>Prometheus</i>.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GANT<br/><br />
Boogie is now at two thousand clicks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Raise shields, arm weapons.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[A ship, which looks vastly superior in size and technology, approaches the <i>Prometheus</i>.]<br />
<br />
'''END TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[Lights are dimmed ready for battle. Several staff check their instruments. Ronson sits in his chair, checking his readout, as Carter stands next to him, looking out of the windscreen, looking for the boogie.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GANT<br/><br />
Boogie is now at 900 clicks. It's not slowing down, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
How long 'til we can jump to hyperspace again?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The hyperdrive needs at least two hours to cool down before we can attempt another jump. If we try one before that it could overload.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[A huge, much more advanced looking ship nears the <i>Prometheus</i>.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WEAPONS OFFICER<br/><br />
Colonel, I'm getting some unusual readings coming from the alien vessel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter hurries to his station to investigate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They're scanning us, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Major Gant, set up a wide frequency broadcast, I want to talk to them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Gant presses a few buttons.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GANT<br/><br />
Go ahead, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
This is Colonel William Ronson, commander of the <i>Prometheus</i>. Please, respond.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Static is heard over the intercom.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
If you can hear me, I offer you peaceful greetings.<br />
<br />
[Static is again heard.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GANT<br/><br />
Boogie is at 400 clicks and is continuing to gain on our position, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WEAPONS OFFICER<br/><br />
Sir, thermographic sensors are showing a rapid build up of energy coming from within the ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The sides of the alien ship expand and curl round to form a crescent on wither side of the main body. Canons appear from these wings.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WEAPONS OFFICER<br/><br />
Energy build up is continuing, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They're powering up weapons. Colonel, we have to get out of here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Major Gant, Initiate evasion manoeuvre delta now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GANT<br/><br />
Yes Sir, executing delta.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[<i>Prometheus</i> begins to move away to the right, it's port side facing the alien vessel. As it moves away, the alien ship fires at it, hitting the shields at the rear of the <i>Prometheus</i>. It pursues the <i>Prometheus</i>, continuing to fire. <i>Prometheus</i> heads into the gaseous nebula Carter had wanted to look at earlier.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PROEMTHEUS BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[The bridge shudders from the impact of weapons fire, and a few panels blow. Carter, still standing by the weapons officer's chair, has to hold on to it to steady herself. An alarm sounds in the background.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Major Gant, report.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GANT<br/><br />
Shields down 69%, weapons are draining our shields.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Their faces are suddenly illuminated by incoming fire. The bridge shakes again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GANT<br/><br />
53 percent.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Apply auxiliary power to shield generators, weapons officer, prepare to return fire on my command.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WEAPONS OFFICER<br/><br />
Aft missile bays 1 through 6 loaded and ready, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Fire one through four, now!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The weapons officer complies.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[Four missiles leave the <i>Prometheus</i>, but are almost immediately destroyed by the alien vessel.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WEAPONS OFFICER<br/><br />
Sir, missiles destroyed before reaching the target.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ronson looks a little stunned, and the ship is again rocked by incoming fire. More panels explode in the background.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GANT<br/><br />
Alien vessel is still gaining on us, Sir, shield strength is at&hellip;32%.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Fire all missiles, at will.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks round.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Wait. Suggest diverting auxiliary power back to the sub-light engines.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Major?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The gas cloud. If we can get inside it, it might make it harder for them to track us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ronson looks at Carter, then out the windscreen, where the gas cloud looms large. They are rocked by another batch of fire.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GANT<br/><br />
Shields below 15 percent.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Even with sub-light engines on full strength, we'll never make it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It might be possible to make a small hyperspace jump into the cloud. Just give me a few minutes to over ride the safeguards.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
You have two.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She nods, and runs to the engine room. Another blast rocks the ship.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> ENGINE CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter runs in, and starts furiously typing at a control panel. There is an explosion in the background, and sparks fly. Carter looks briefly at it, then returns to the job in hand. Again the ship is hit.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Come on, one jump.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter grimaces, then runs out of the room. The main computer screen in the engine room reads override request denied.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The <i>Prometheus</i> draws nearer to the gas cloud, be fired upon all the way by the alien vessel, which draws ever nearer.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WEAPONS OFFICER<br/><br />
Sir, weapons systems are no longer operational.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GANT<br/><br />
Shields are below 10 percent. Receiving ship-wide damage reports, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ronson looks unsure of what to do.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> ENGINE ROOM.'''<br />
<br />
[Carter enters the engine room. She pulls out one of the drawers containing engine crystals. She presses some buttons on the side, when the crystals flash and a surge of energy is released, throwing her sideways onto the opposite wall. She hits her head, and slides to the floor, unconscious.]<br />
<br />
'''FADE OUT'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> ENGINE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter comes to. She has a small gash on her forehead, near her hairline. She is obviously concussed, and slowly stands up, using the wall for support. She walks out the engine room, groggily, still leaning heavily on the wall for support. She grabs the nearest intercom phone on the wall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This is Major Carter calling the bridge.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[There is no answer]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Bridge, please respond!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[All remains quiet. Carter turns around, and sees a small girl, dressed in a white sleeveless dress, white ankle socks and white shoes. She has long curly blond hair. She smiles at Carter. Carter blinks and the child disappears. Carter thinks for a moment, then replaces the phone, and goes in the direction of the girl. She is still very wobbly on her feet. Carter walks around the corridors, and into the mess. It is deserted, with half eaten meals still on the table. She pauses for a moment, surveying the scene, then heads off down the corridor again.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter enters the bridge to find it deserted, like the rest of the ship she has seen so far. Out of the front windows the nebula can be seen. She goes to the commander's chair, and activates the ship-wide intercom.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This is the bridge, calling all decks.<br/><br />
(pause)<br/> <br />
Please respond.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter goes to one of the panels, and activates the internal security cameras. Looking at them, she sees that the ship is totally deserted.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The <i>Prometheus</i> is still inside the nebula.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is surveying the ship's systems, from Major Gant's chair.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This is Major Samantha Carter of the United States Air Force vessel <i>Prometheus</i>. As the sole remaining crew member of this ship I feel compelled to keep a log of these events. After being attacked by a hostile alien ship, I sustained an injury and lost consciousness. When I awoke, I found the ship devoid of all crew. An initial systems review indicated the hyper-drive to be operational, but the sub-light engines remain offline, possibly due to damage from the attack. I am hopeful further investigation will provide more answers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The screen Carter is looking at flashes the same message, "sub-light engines offline". She tries to restart them, but is greeted with the message "error, restart command not available."]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
[Carter travels in an elevator to the engine room to try and solve the problem.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
However, my first priority is to find out what happened to the crew.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She exits the elevator.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Having searched the entire ship and found no one, only one possibility remains to explain their disappearance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She walks into the engine control room, and goes to the computer. She checks the status of the escape pods, and finds that there are no escape pods on board, they have all been jettisoned.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Based on the fact that all the escape pods have been jettisoned, I can only assume an evacuation order was given after my losing consciousness. In the chaos that must have ensued, I was left behind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She sits at the engine controls, and tries to restart the engines. They begin, to fire up, but then a warning sign flashes on the monitors, and they power down.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The sub-light engines remain offline. I'm guessing something about the gas loud is inhibiting the restart procedures. Thus far I have been unable to find a way around this problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Error messages come up on her screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Without sub-light engine power to manoeuvre the ship out of the cloud I'm left with only one other option.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter sits in Major Gant's chair. She presses some buttons, and starts to activate a hyperspace window. It starts to appear outside the ship, but then collapses in on itself. The monitor shows the message "hyperdrive window failure. Overload imminent." Carter hangs her head in disappointment, then shuts down the hyperdrive engine. She sighs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Dammit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She leans her head on her hand, but her arm is gripped by another. Turning round, she sees Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Major Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks exhausted, and dazed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Teal'c?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Hear me. You must remain conscious at all cost.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(closing her eyes)<br/><br />
I just need to rest for a while.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(forcefully)<br/><br />
You cannot!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She starts awake a little, then starts dropping off again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Listen to me! You are injured. If you sleep, you will die. Do you understand?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(nodding)<br/><br />
I know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She starts to nod off again, but is startled by Teal'c's voice once more.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(slowly and forcefully)<br/><br />
If you sleep, you will die!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks at Teal'c, frowning slightly, then closes her eyes.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The <i>Prometheus</i> still lingers in the nebula.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is at Gant's station, head leant over and resting on her arms. She has fallen asleep. A young girl's voice is heard singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." Carter raises her head, she can hear the singing. She turns and looks towards the corridor, the singing seems to be coming from there. Footsteps can be heard as well.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[Carter follows the voice, which is still singing twinkle twinkle. The singing pauses momentarily.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Someone there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The singing resumes. Carter stops at a corridor junction, and looks down each of the passageways.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hello?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The singing gets fainter, then stops. Carter closes her eyes briefly, still feeling the effects of her concussion. She begins to walk away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is sitting again in Gant's chair. The screen in front of her shows the status of a distress beacon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I have sent out a distress signal detailing <i>Prometheus</i>' situation and our last known position in space. I know it could be hundreds of years before anyone hears it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BATHROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter walks in and takes the first aid box off the wall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That said, Stargate Command was aware of our route home, and will undoubtedly do everything they can to mount a rescue.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She treats her head wound.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And, if any of the crew survived, I can only hope they will eventually send help as well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash; <i>PROMETHEUS</i> SUPLLY ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is surrounded by boxes. She is taking an inventory of supplies.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Therefore, I feel my best course of action is to settle in for the long haul.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> MESS'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is filling plastic bags with different foods to create complete meals.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
According to my calculations I have enough food and water to last several months.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She places the bag in a box, and carries the box over to the other sides of the room, where there are several other boxes, as also packed with food.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
With further rationing, it might be possible to double that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks as if she feels dizzy again, and bends over, leaning on the table for support. The child stands in the doorway.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
Play with me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks over at her, but doesn't answer. She looks down, and when she looks back up, the child has disappeared again.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> ENGINE CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is writing something.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I've been trying to understand why the ship has been unable to jump into hyperspace. During my last jump attempt the hyperspace window seemed unable to stabilise enough for the ship to enter it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She nibbles on a power bar.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Thus far sensors have been unable to identify the actual content of the cloud itself. It's more likely made up of a denser group of gases than that of a typical nebula or gas giant. Bottom line is, it's preventing the hyperdrive emitters from transferring power at an even rate. Until that changes, the <i>Prometheus</i> will remain trapped here, indefinitely.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She takes another bite of the power bar, but nearly chokes on it as she hears a familiar voice.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yep, I'd say you're stuck alright.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She looks behind her to see Daniel, leaning back on a chair. He looks at her, and she looks round again, unable to believe her eyes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Oh come on, Sam, you've been running the same diagnostic program for four hours now, what makes you think the results are suddenly going to change?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She ignores him, and continues writing. Daniel looks round at her when she doesn't respond.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Sa-am, Hello-o!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He snaps his fingers at her, trying to get her attention.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Were you this annoying when you were ascended?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I dunno, depends on who you ask. I thought I had a certain je ne sais qua. Timing was so-so.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She turns round to face him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No offence, but I really don't have time for this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel just stares at her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This is ridiculous, you aren't even real.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She turns back to her work.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, I'm not so much me, as I am&hellip;you, really. Part of your subconscious mind. So, am I real? That's up to you, I guess. Although the Socratic implications are quite fascinating.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Look, you just need some help, that's all. Can't you just try to go along with this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns back round to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You're me, talking to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, basically.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(Resigned)<br/><br />
Alright, you have a point. I could use some help.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel claps his hands, and jumps out of his seat.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He comes and sits down next to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Okay, what do you&hellip;I want?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, I think you're going about this all wrong.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This is helping?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Come on, Sam, you've been looking forward to studying this cloud for weeks now. I mean, that's the real reason you volunteered for this job in the first place. Now you're here, finally here, and, and you're wasting your time running endless hyperdrive simulations.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
In case you hadn't noticed, I've got a small problem on my hands, Daniel. Mainly that I'm stranded.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Inside the very thing you've been looking at through a telescope for years. <br/><br />
(Excited and animated)<br/> <br />
Come on, it's a chance to see something rare and exciting up close! Seize the moment!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Seize the moment?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'm just saying it's, it's, it's new, something we've never encountered before&hellip;<br/><br />
(calmer, quieter)<br/> <br />
&hellip;and you're ignoring it. Does that sound like you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter pauses, unsure of what to say.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel, I can't even think straight, let alone stay awake.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel walks round, and stands behind her chair.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Sam, you have to check this out. Trust me, it's important.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She considers his words, and continues working. Daniel has gone.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is boxing up more food in the mess. She is disturbed by some strange sounds, like metal being strained to breaking point. She carries a box down the corridor, but stops when she hears the sounds again, and stops, concerned.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[A monitor shows that 4 sections of the outer hull have suffered structural damage, and had their integrity compromised.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh, my God.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The monitor shows the estimated time for inner hull breach to be 8 hours, 3 minutes and 26 seconds.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDOR.'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill waits for an elevator. One arrives, and he gets in. As the doors close, Daniel slips in. They stand side by side as the elevator ascends.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You, uh, hear about Sam?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Doesn't sound good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
18 hours past due for contact, yeah I'd say something went wrong.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[There is a moment of uncomfortable silence.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, anyway I put together a list of planets with Stargates on in range of the <i>Prometheus</i>' route. General Hammond agreed to send SG teams to all of them, including us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, if something went wrong, then there's a chance they could make it to a planet with a gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
At which time they would gate home, wouldn't they?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, when the hyperdrive failed on the <i>Prometheus</i>' maiden voyage you were nearly stranded on P7X-009 because they didn't know where the Stargate was.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Sounds like a long shot.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks a little confused at O'Neill's reaction.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, unfortunately the Tok'ra are unable to send a ship at this time. They've promised to retrace the route of the <i>Prometheus</i> as soon as they can, but you know, visiting these planets is&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What? Is what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The elevator stops. Daniel suddenly realises something.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Is something.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The elevator doors open. O'Neill looks at Daniel for a long moment.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He walks out the elevator, frowning. Daniel watches him leave, mulling things over.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The <i>Prometheus</i> remains trapped in the nebula.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> ENGINE CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter sits at the engine control desk.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Ship's log update. I have discovered that several sections of the hull are being corroded by the gases that make up this cloud. Although I have boosted whatever power I can to our shields, it has had little effect on protecting the ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She watches the monitor, which shows several sections now in critical danger.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is in one of the corridors. She presses a button on one side of a door, which closes and seals that section off.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I sealed off those sections affected by the corrosion, but it's only a stop gap measure. All I know for certain is, if I can't find a way to stop it from spreading, the ship's hull will eventually be breached.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter swipes her passcard to open another set of doors. She grabs the wall as another wave of dizziness comes over her. A child's voice grabs her attention.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
When the blazing sun is gone, when he nothing shines upon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The child walks towards her, stops and smiles.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Who are you? What do you want?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
Then you show you're little light, twinkle twinkle all the night. Come on, this way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She walks down a corridor, and Carter follows.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Wait!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The girl speeds up, round a corner and out of Carter's view. Carter hurries round the corner, but meets Teal'c instead, smiling at her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(smiling)<br/><br />
Samantha.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Teal'c, did you see&hellip;course you didn't.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(gently)<br/><br />
I'm here to warn you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I know, I've got to stay awake.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(still smiling)<br/><br />
That's not all. <br/><br />
(looking around)<br/> <br />
Everything may not be as it seems.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, thank you. But the fact that I'm talking to someone who's not really here kinda speaks to that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
On the contrary, I think it's you that's not here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What are you talking about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I believe that you and the other crew members are being held prisoners aboard the alien vessel that attacked you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How do you know?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is possible they are probing your mind. If so, any information obtained may be used to attack Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Okay, hold on. Even if you're right, and I'm not really here, what am I supposed to do about it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Nothing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Teal'c, give me something here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Very well, as you attempt to repair the ship's engines, you may inadvertently be divulging to your captors vital information concerning <i>Prometheus</i> technology. I do believe it would be prudent to do nothing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I can't do that, Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c nods and starts to walk away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Be careful, Samantha.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Wait, where are you going? <br/><br />
(pause)<br/> <br />
You're wrong, Teal'c, I'm not on an alien ship, I'm right here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
[Carter lies on the ground, eyes closed. She wakes up, as a door behind her opens.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
This is real.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She rolls over, and tries to get up. She touches her head, in obvious pain.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Ow, this is real.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She makes her way up off the floor, and heads down the corridor, leaning on the wall heavily for support. The door closes behind her.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter sits in the commander's chair.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The effects of my head injury are getting worse. I'm not sure how much longer I can last. My only hope of survival is to somehow get the <i>Prometheus</i> free of this gas cloud without using either the sub-light or hyper-drive engines. I think I've come up with a way. It has its risks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
[Alarm claxons sound. Doors close all over the ship. Carter is still sitting in the commander's chair, but she straps herself in.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
By venting several levels worth of pressurised atmosphere I am hoping to generate enough propulsion to move the ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A monitor shows "Venting sequence initiated. Airlock three open."]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[Several doors on the side on the <i>Prometheus</i> open, and air streams out.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
[Air streams through the <i>Prometheus</i>, being sucked into space. On the bridge Carter watches, and listens to the sounds of the hull under great stress due to the venting. She watches the process closely.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Come on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks up at one of the internal security cameras, and sees the little girl, holding on to one of the support struts in a corridor that is undergoing venting. Although there is no sound, the child is clearly saying "help me." She is swept away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She unfastens herself, and closes the shuts down the venting.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
[Carter runs to rescue the girl. However, her head injury is still affecting her, and she has to steady herself.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hello? Are you here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She continues to move through the corridor, steadying herself as she goes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(from behind her)<br/><br />
Hey! Have I ,uh, told you my latest theory yet, it's really cool.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks around for a moment, and Daniel looks around too.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Lose something?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Did you see a&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Little girl?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter sighs, and keeps going, in search on the girl. Daniel follows her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You know, you don't look so good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Now, my theory. What if this cloud isn't so much a collection of corrosive gases, so much as it is a sentient being. I'm saying the cloud is alive, Sam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She stops and turns around to face him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The cloud is alive?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, it's a sentient being, like, uh, feelings, memories, space born alien entity if you will.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He smiles, looking very pleased at the last remark.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's crazy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, why else would it be corroding the ship?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Because the gases are corrosive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Or, maybe we somehow offended it when we flew inside of it. The point is, if we talk to it, maybe it will let us go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter is looking increasingly dazed, as if she is having trouble focusing.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You want me to talk to the cloud.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Would it kill you to try?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And how would I do that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, you said there was this little girl running round the ship. Maybe that little girl is the physical personification of the cloud.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter leans back against the wall, and almost falls to the ground. She is looking increasingly fragile.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, no just go with me on this, maybe that's its way of trying to communicate with us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter is now trying to keep herself from falling unconscious, but is getting nearer and nearer the floor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel, this isn't helping.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She slumps to the floor, losing consciousness.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Talk to her, Sam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter lies on the floor, unconscious. The girl can be heard singing twinkle twinkle. her singing and footsteps get louder and louder, coming nearer to Carter. Carter opens her eyes, and sits up, turning towards the girl, who is now standing beside her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
My mother used to sing that to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
How obscure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm so tired.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
You can't sleep, not yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Why?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
Because we need to talk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The <i>Prometheus</i> remains trapped.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> MESS.'''<br />
<br />
[Carter sits at the mess table. It has been cleared, except for a serviette dispenser and sugar pourer. She holds her head in one hand. The girl brings over a bowl of fruit and places it before Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
Eat. You need to keep your strength up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Do you have a name?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
(smiling)<br/><br />
I'm Grace.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Who are you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
You know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, I don't know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I'm your father.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks up to see Jacob standing at the other end of the table. Grace has disappeared.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Dad?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob walks down the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I know it sounds corny, but you get to an age&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He sits down]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
You get to an age where you think about everything you did wrong as a parent.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter leans her head back on her hands, but still looks at her father.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Don't take this the wrong way&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I know. I don't look so good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jacob smiles and shakes his head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I wanted so many things for you, Sam. And look what it's brought you instead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sure, but the massive headache really takes the edge off it all.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Are you happy, Sam?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Just answer the question.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, at the moment things are a little rough, but, in general, sure, I'm happy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
No, you're not. You're content, you're satisfied. You're in control. And that's the problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Okay, I'm really not following here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
I'm saying, you're missing something vital from your life. And the sad part is you have no idea what I'm talking about.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Dad, I am happy. I've seen and done things most people couldn't even dream of. I have an incredible life.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
And yet you're alone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, lately the dating scene been a little stale, but then again I am marooned on a spaceship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
No. Always. For as long as she was alive, your mother showed me a world beyond just ambition and career. She gave my life meaning, and balance. And it was my honour to love her for the short time she was with me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks increasingly upset.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
And if I were young again, and I met her for the first time, even knowing her fate, I would do it all over again. That is love.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[There is a pause, as Carter tries to gather herself together.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
Sam? I know you have denied yourself the experience because you think that it must inevitably end in pain, and loneliness, </blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter is openly crying now, and cannot answer. She gently shakes her head. Jacob reaches over and takes her hand in his.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
It's time to let go of the things that prevent you from finding happiness. you deserve to love someone, and be loved in return.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks at him, but he disappears, and she is left alone at the table again.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Alarms sound indicating an incoming wormhole. SG-1 walk down the ramp, met by Hammond at the bottom.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Report, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
This one was a bust too, Sir. In fact, these folks were more in the dark than the first bunch.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
They were indeed a primitive society.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, whatever. They hadn't seen any sign of the ship. we're 0 for 7 Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Have you heard from the Tok'ra?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
They've completed an initial trace of the <i>Prometheus</i>' route. there's no sign of it at any of the designated cool down co-ordinates.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You're assuming they stayed on course.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
They're currently expanding their search, conducting long range scans of several systems adjacent to the route home. Hopefully we'll hear something from them soon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill opens his mouth to say something, then thinks differently and walks out of the gate room.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC LOCKER ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill stands in front of his locker. He slams down his cap, and starts to get changed. Teal'c enters the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I don't wanna hear it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c remains silent.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(glancing over his shoulder)<br/><br />
Good. 'Cause I'm not in the mood.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c remains silent. O'Neill turns round to face Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Alright, what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
When Colonel Maybourne and yourself were stranded off world, Major Carter felt a similar sense of frustration. She despaired at the thought of never seeing you again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill takes this in for a moment.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Not you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
Indeed. You are like a brother to me, O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You're like, what, 130?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
A younger brother, perhaps. But that is not my point.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Look, T, I know what you're trying to do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns back to face his locker.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And I appreciate it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
[Bubbles float down from somewhere above. Carter sits on the floor of the bridge, watching Grace blow bubbles. She smiles, resignedly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
Wanna try?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter shakes her head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
It's fun.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I remember when I was a little girl I used to wonder how a bubble could exist. You see there's this thing called surface tension, when molecules bind together in a certain way&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
Boring!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She walks over to Carter, and holds the bubble wand up for Carter to blow through.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
Here, just try it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter takes the wand and blows a stream of bubbles.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
See. Fun.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(smiling)<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Alright Carter, come on, on your feet, let's go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill stand in the doorway, covered in shadow.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I was wondering when you were going to show up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You just gonna sit there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Too tired, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill walks into the room, and sits opposite her, on the floor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Samantha, I'm a figment of your imagination, you're gonna call me Sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Old habits, sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So, you gonna save yourself, or what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm tired.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Just given up then?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I just don't know what to do right now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You'll think of something.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Came to give me a pep talk?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It's what friends are for.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Friends.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey, this is you talking here. Might as well be honest.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What if I quit the air force? Would that change anything or is it just an excuse?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I would never ask you to give up your career.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Because you don't feel anything for me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'd let you go right now if I knew.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That easy?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I didn't say it would be easy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Then what's stopping you? If you really want to know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm trying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Maybe it's not me that's the problem here. Let's face it, I'm not that complex.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Sam, I'm a safe bet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
As long as I'm thinking about you, setting my sights on what I think is unattainable, there's no chance of being hurt by someone else.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Jacob was right. You deserve more. I will always be there for you, no matter what. Believe me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(a little choked up)<br/><br />
So what now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Go save your ass.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
One last thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She imagines them kissing. O'Neill waits for the request.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Never mind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The ship suddenly shakes, as part of the hull breaches. Carter goes to investigate, leaving O'Neill still sitting there.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
[Alarms sound as Carter enters the bridge. Gant's monitors shows that an inner hull breach is imminent. Carter looks over and sees Grace, still playing with her bubbles. Sparks start to fly as electrical circuits overload.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What do you want?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
What do you mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Whoever you are, I know why everyone else keeps showing up, why are you here? What do you want from me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
I don't want anything, but you do. Then the traveller in the dark, thanks you for you tiny spark. How could he see where to go, if you did not twinkle so.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She keeps blowing her bubbles. Carter watches them, and suddenly realises something and runs away.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> ENGINE CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter sits at the operations desk, frantically typing something in. Grace watches her closely.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
What you looking at?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's complicated.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
Try me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm going to try and save myself with a bubble.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
How?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The hyper-drive won't fully engage because of the cloud, but maybe it doesn't have to. If I can dial down the power flow from the hyper-drive emitter, theoretically I should be able to create a partial shift into hyperspace, essentially taking the ship out of the cloud's space-time. Hopefully just enough to eliminate its effects on the sub-light engines.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>GRACE<br/><br />
Neat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter swivels over to the engine controls, looks back over her shoulder, and finds grace has gone. Carter activates the hyper-drive.]<br />

[Alarms still blare as Carter sees the alien ship ahead of her. Daniel walks up to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Sam, what are you doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter ignores him]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I believe she is attempting to rescue her fellow crew members.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Both he and O'Neill have joined Daniel at Carter's side.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What, what from them, that's crazy. Get back to Earth, and then bring in the cavalry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
There's no time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I agree. the alien vessel is too formidable.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Will you guys shut up, just let her work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and Teal'c both shoot looks at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />

<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />

[Carter now takes the commander's chair. She switches on the communication channels.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This is Major Samantha Carter of the US Air Force vessel <i>Prometheus</i>. Can you hear me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She waits a few moments for a response. There seems to be nothing but static. She tries again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm thinking you've been stuck in here just as long as I have. The only difference is, I've found a way out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Again, there is only static on response.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Here's the deal, return my crew, everyone, in tact and let us go. And I'll help you get out of here. Do we have a deal?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The two ships face each other.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter waits anxiously for a response. Suddenly the bridge crew are beamed onto the bridge. Other members of the crew are also beamed back, approximately the same location from where they were taken.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
What the hell just happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter vacates the commander's chair, and gets into Gant's.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's a long story, Sir. Just bear with me. I'm activating a hyperspace bubble to include the alien vessel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She presses some buttons. Gant leans over her shoulder, watching.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We're going to bring it with us, out of the cloud.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Major?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'll explain everything soon enough, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[First <i>Prometheus</i>, then the alien vessel, exit the gas cloud.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Now what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We see if they keep their end of the bargain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The alien vessel moves over them, then away. Both Carter and Ronson take a sigh of relief.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Well done, Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, with your permission I'd like to relieve myself of duty now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RONSON<br/><br />
Easy. <br/><br />
(to crew members)<br/> <br />
Get her to the infirmary.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Two crew members help Carter out of the chair and down the corridor. Ronson looks at Carter, then at the window, and shakes his head.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[Monitors bleep quietly in the background. Carter lies asleep in a bed, with O'Neill looking on. Carter comes to, blinking a lot.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Jack?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Excuse me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(trying to focus)<br/><br />
Sorry, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes, well, a massive concussion will tend to&hellip;disorient one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How long was I out there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It's all relative Carter, that whole time-space continuum thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Four days.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Could have sworn it was weeks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Um, Teal'c and Daniel say hi, uh, they're planning a little bit of a shindig for when you're up and around. There's talk of cake.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(smiling)<br/><br />
A cake?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
My idea.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Can't wait.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Need anything? Magazine, yo-yo?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(shaking head)<br/><br />
I'm fine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes, you are.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns to leave.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Thank you, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
For what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Nothing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Think nothing of it. I've got plenty of that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They smile at each other, and he leaves. Carter closes her eyes. Grace's voice is heard singing again, and Carter opens her eyes to an empty infirmary. Carter smiles briefly, and closes her eyes again.]<br />

'''PREVIOUSLY ON STARGATE SG-1'''<br />
<br />
[Scenes from Summit where Yu objects to Anubis being made a System Lord. Scenes from Meridian where Carter says Daniel has had a lethal dose of radiation and him in the infirmary. Daniel also tells O'Neill he'll miss SG-1 and then he ascends.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[A Goa'uld mothership is orbiting a planet. An Asgard ship comes out of hyperspace.<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP&mdash;PELTAK'''<br />
<br />
[Osiris is on the peltak, viewing the two ships through the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
The ship is Asgard. We are being hailed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Thor appears on the viewscreen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
I am Thor. Supreme Commander of the Asgard fleet. Your presence here is a violation of the Protected Planets Treaty and you must withdraw immediately.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
I don't think so.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
If you do not comply, I will be forced to open fire.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
Yes, I suppose you will.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
You will be destroyed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
I am the great god Osiris and gods cannot be destroyed. You should know that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Very well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
Enemy ship is powering weapons.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Thor fires on Osiris but the weapons fire is absorbed by the shields.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
Shields are holding.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA 2<br/><br />
The ship remains undamaged.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
Our days of bowing to the Asgard are finally over.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''END TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC&mdash;DANIEL'S LAB'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is looking at his books, visibly mourning. She moves to his desk and picks up his glasses. She then sees his journal and picks it up. Hammond stands at the door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I just wanted to inform you that Colonel O'Neill has requested that SG-1 remain on active duty while we try to find a replacement for Doctor Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So what are we supposed to do? Keep working like nothing happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I understand how you feel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
With all due respect, Sir, I don't even understand how I feel. We didn't even have a memorial service.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
We're not even really sure that he's dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And that's the problem. What are we supposed to do, Sir? Wait and&hellip; and hope that he comes back or&hellip; or just move on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond walks round to face Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
When I was in Vietnam, I saw my best friend shot down. I know he survived, I saw his `chute open, radioed his position. But I never found out what happened to him. His body was never recovered, the Vietnamese never admitted they took him prisoner. For years, I kept thinking, that some day he's just going to walk through the door.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So what did you do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I learned to live with it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The klaxons go off.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PA SYSTEM<br/><br />
Unauthorized off world activation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The power goes off.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What the hell's going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Main power is down.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She goes to a phone.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Phones are down.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The emergency power comes on.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PA SYSTEM<br/><br />
General Hammond to the Gateroom, repeat General Hammond to the Gateroom.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Let's get up there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He leaves and Carter replaces Daniel's journal.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter and Hammond walk in. A number of SFs are aiming their weapons at the gate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Stand down.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Freyr walks down the ramp.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Freyr.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FREYR<br/><br />
Major Carter. General Hammond. I apologise for our absence of late but our war with the Replicators has reached a critical stage.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, we might be able to help you with that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FREYR<br/><br />
Yes, we received your message.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c enter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FREYR<br/><br />
If, as you say, this android was responsible for creating the first generation of Replicators, it may well prove invaluable. However, it is not the only reason I have come. There has been an incident with the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
An incident?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FREYR<br/><br />
Commander Thor has been killed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Killed? How?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FREYR<br/><br />
The Goa'uld attacked a planet under our protection and Commander Thor was despatched with the only ship available. We expected the Goa'uld to retreat once we made our presence felt but they did not. The Asgard ship was destroyed in the ensuing battle.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Is not Asgard military technology far superior to that of the Goa'uld?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FREYR<br/><br />
Their new shields are more advanced than we first believed and it appears they have upgraded their weapons as well. We can no longer be confident of victory when dealing with superior numbers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So in other words the protected planets are no longer protected?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Including Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FREYR<br/><br />
Our ability to enforce the treaty in this galaxy will depend greatly on the outcome of our battle with the Replicators. However, in the meantime, we do have another problem. An Asgard scientist has been left stranded in the research facility beneath the surface of the planet in question. We would like you to mount a rescue mission.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Why us?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FREYR<br/><br />
We have no ships available and we understand you have a Goa'uld cargo ship at your disposal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, it isn't exactly in perfect working order. We managed to repair it with the help of the Tok'ra but&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We'll do it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Everyone looks at him, surprised.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It's what we do, isn't it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FREYR<br/><br />
The research being conducted on this planet is vital to the future of the Asgard. We would be forever in your debt.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Freyr bows to O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[Carter follows O'Neill down a corridor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel. We need to talk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I don't want to hear it, Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You can't just pretend this didn't happen.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm not pretending anything. This is the job. We lose people all the time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We're talking about Daniel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What do you want me to do? He's gone. We've got work to do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill walks off. Carter stops and turns round to go the other way.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HYPERSPACE'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 are en route to the Asgard protected planet. O'Neill is sitting in the back cleaning his gun. Carter and Teal'c are sitting up in the front.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Are you not all right, Major Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm fine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You continue to mourn the loss of Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, I do. Tell me I'm not the only one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I will perform the proper rituals when the opportunity presents itself. Until that time, this mission must take priority.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Please, Teal'c. Don't give me that `way of the warrior' crap. I get enough of that from Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Daniel Jackson has ascended to a higher plane of existence. Many Jaffa have dedicated their lives to achieving such a goal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So I'm supposed to celebrate?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is a great accomplishment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter is obviously upset.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We were a team, Teal'c. No one can even begin to understand what we went through together, what we mean to each other. So maybe Daniel has achieved something of great cosmic significance, I don't know. And to be honest with you, right now, I don't really care. I'd rather have him back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
As would I.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The cargo ship approaches a wormhole.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CARGO SHIP'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We are approaching the Adara system. Two motherships orbit the second planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill walks up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We won't be able to activate the cloak until we come out of hyperspace. There'll be a brief interval where they might detect us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
How brief?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Just a few seconds. The odds of them spotting us are pretty slim.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
How slim?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hardly worth mentioning, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And yet, you did mention it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, I'm beginning to wish I hadn't.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They come out of hyperspace and cloak.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, at least they're not shooting at us. That's good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We are approaching the upper atmosphere.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The cargo ship enters the atmosphere and judders.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's pretty thick.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
There is considerable turbulence.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c activates the screen at the front on the ship. O'Neill holds onto the console.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You know, we should really consider putting another chair back here. If you think about it, it'd be much safer, wouldn't it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The cargo ship lands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We have arrived at the co-ordinates given to us by Freyr.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Nice view.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This can't be right. The atmosphere is over 80% carbon dioxide and the surface temperature of 420 degrees Fahrenheit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ooh&hellip; hot.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
How are we to locate the Asgard facility?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly the three of them are beamed out.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ASGARD FACILITY'''<br />
<br />
[Carter, O'Neill and Teal'c appear.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, that was easy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They look round.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASGARD<br/><br />
Ah, humans. Interesting.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Heimdall walks down a ramp waving. O'Neill waves back.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
Greetings, I am Heimdall. I assume you were sent by the Asgard High Council.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Not exactly. Colonel Jack O'Neill, Major Carter and Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He shakes hands with Heimdall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
I have heard much of your exploits on behalf of the Asgard. Doctor Jackson is not with you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Uh, no.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
In any case, it is a great pleasure to meet you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Where are we exactly?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
Several hundred metres beneath the surface of the planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Of course we'd have to be. The surface is uninhabitable.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The Goa'uld are unaware of your presence here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
I have been monitoring their communications. They know the laboratory is somewhere on this planet but as yet, they have been unable to pinpoint its location.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, why don't we get out of here before they find out?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
I am afraid we cannot leave.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Why not?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
First we must rescue Thor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I thought Thor was dead?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
He is not. However, his life is in grave danger. He is a prisoner of the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP&mdash;THOR'S CELL'''<br />
<br />
[Thor is being held strapped to a table. Osiris walks in.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
Commander Thor. I apologise for the accommodations but we weren't expecting company.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
You have committed an act of war against the Asgard. The response will be swift and decisive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
As swift and decisive as your attempt to defend this planet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ASGARD FACILITY'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
After Thor's ship was destroyed, the Goa'uld detected an escape pod. They managed to retrieve it before it could disappear into the atmosphere.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How do you know Thor is still alive?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
I am able to scan the interior of the Goa'uld mother ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A screen appears behind SG-1.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Wow.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
I have located Thor's bio signature here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why don't you just beam him out?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
Although my sensors can penetrate the Goa'uld shields, my transportation device cannot.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Can you detect Goa'uld lifesigns as well?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
I can.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The screen changes to show a red symbol for a Goa'uld with Thor's blue symbol.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
The red dot indicates the presence of a symbiote.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So it's either Goa'uld or a Jaffa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
In all probability, Thor is being tortured for information pertaining to Asgard technology.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
With that kind of knowledge, the Goa'uld could easily come through our Stargate whenever they wanted. There wouldn't be anything we could do about it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP&mdash;THOR'S CELL'''<br />
<br />
[Thor is still lying strapped to the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
I've underestimated your strength. That mistake will not be made again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
Perhaps not. But next time we will have an even greater advantage. We'll have learned all your secrets.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
I will never surrender my knowledge to you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
Not to me, no. Anubis himself has taken an interest in this matter. He's on his way here as we speak.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Osiris leaves.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ASGARD FACILITY'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 are watching the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The Goa'uld is leaving.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Can you communicate with him?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
Yes, I can.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP&mdash;THOR'S CELL'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill appears as a hologram to Thor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Thor. Thor, buddy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Thor opens his eyes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey. How you doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
O'Neill. I am surprised to see you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, we're down on the planet with&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Heimdall.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, him. Working on a way to get you out of here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
That would be unwise. You must take Heimdall and his research materials and leave immediately.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ASGARD FACILITY'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill is bent over, as his hologram image speaks to Thor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What are you nuts? I'm not gonna leave you behind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP&mdash;THOR'S CELL'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
More Goa'uld are coming. I have been informed that Anubis will be conducting my interrogation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All the more reason to get you out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
I will resist their attempts to probe my mind. I will die before I give them any information, but the very survival of the Asgard depends on Heimdall's discoveries.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ASGARD FACILITY'''<br />
<br />
[Carter sees four red symbols moving to Thor's cell.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, you've got company, we're gonna have to pull you out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP&mdash;THOR'S CELL'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right, listen. I've got to go but I'll be back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill disappears.]<br />

'''INT&mdash;ASGARD FACILITY'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill walks up to Carter and Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How's he doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, he's fine for now. Except for the fact that he wants us to leave him behind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
For what reason?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I wouldn't mind knowing that myself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They look to Heimdall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
Thor is no doubt concerned that if we delay, the materials in this laboratory will fall into the hands of the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What exactly are you studying here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
I am conducting research into the genetic history of the Asgard.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, now see, that doesn't sound like something worth dying for.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
That is because you do not understand the gravity of the situation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Feel free to enlighten us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
As a race, the Asgard reproduce exclusively through a process of enhanced cellular mitosis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Are you serious? You have no other means of propagation?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks surprised.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They're clones, sir. All of them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah. Well, that answers a few questions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
In fact, for nearly a thousand years, we have been physically incapable of achieving cell division through meiosis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks questioningly at Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hmm?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sexual reproduction, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah.<br />
(to Heimdall)<br />
A thousand years?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
It is not something we usually discuss with other races.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
This I understand.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
Through cloning we have achieved a measure of immortality. As each Asgard's body fails, his consciousness is transferred into a newer, younger version of himself. Unfortunately, the lack of genetic diversity has become a problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's like making a copy of a copy of a copy. Eventually there's deterioration.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
We created a process of controlled mutation which has helped us to avoid complete genetic breakdown. But we are at the limits of our technical capabilities. The truth is, the Asgard are a dying race.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Osiris walks onto the peltak.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
Have you located the Asgard facility?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
Not yet, my Lord.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
You waste time. Lord Yu is mounting an offensive. Our ships are needed elsewhere.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
The planet's atmosphere generates much electromagnetic interference.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
Then send a squadron of gliders. At low altitude their sensors will be more effective.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
The atmosphere is too thick. It would be extremely dangerous for the pilots.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
And how dangerous will it be when Lord Anubis arrives and you have nothing to offer but excuses?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
I will despatch the squadron myself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
Very wise.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ASGARD FACILITY'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
If Anubis is gonna interrogate Thor, he'll have to ring aboard the ship. Once they lower the shields to let him in, we can beam Thor out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The shields will not be lowered, Major Carter. They will merely adjust the frequency to accept a rings transmission.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, then we can use the rings on the cargo ship to beam up at the same time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Once Anubis is on board the frequency will be readjusted. And we will be trapped.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So we take out the shields from the inside. There.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
The shield generator room is located here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[An image of the interior of the ship appears.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
You can use explosives to disable the system and I will transport everyone out including Thor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Once the rings have been activated, the Goa'uld will be aware of our presence.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Okay, one of us stays here and uses the Asgard scanner to direct the others away from any guards or patrols.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
First, I must complete my preparations for departure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Okay, Carter you stay here, Teal'c and I will go up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods in agreement.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
I must remind you, O'Neill, that time is of the essence. This laboratory will not remain undetected indefinitely.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill taps his watch face.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c leave.]<br />

[Carter is at the control panel. Heimdall hands her a crystal that she attaches to her jacket.]<br />
<br />

<br />
'''INT&mdash;CARGO SHIP'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />

<br />
[Teal'c pushes the buttons to activate the rings.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ASGARD FACILITY'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
A transporter ring has been activated.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />

[Carter watches the transport.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP'''<br />

<br />
'''INT&mdash;ASGARD FACILITY'''<br />
<br />
[Carter watches O'Neill and Teal'c on the Asgard scanners. O'Neill is a green symbol and Teal'c is red.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Monitoring your progress, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP&mdash;PELTAK'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
There's been an unauthorised transport onto the ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
Intruders?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
The signal appears to have come from the planet. I am unable to determine the specific co-ordinates.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
Organise a security detail. Maximum containment. I want them found.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP&mdash;CORRIDOR'''<br />

[O'Neill and Teal'c move down the corridor.]<br />
<br />

Proceed to the end of the corridor and take a right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP&mdash;CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c move to the end of the corridor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hold up, Sir, there's a large party headed your way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Which way? Should we double back? What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ASGARD FACILITY'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, Sir. There's a corridor up ahead on your left. You should be able to duck in there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP&mdash;CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c move off as some Jaffa come their way. A hooded figure is among them. After the group passes, O'Neill and Teal'c start moving again.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ASGARD FACILITY'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They're almost there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The screen shows more red symbols.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Uh, oh. Sir, we've got a problem. There are several Jaffa patrols bearing down on your position.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP&mdash;CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Where? Which direction?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They're coming at you from all directions, sir. Stand by.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ASGARD FACILITY'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is looking at the screen seeing lots of red symbols.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
There's no way out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
Perhaps a diversionary tactic would be in order?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP&mdash;CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c are waiting for information from Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter? Dammit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They move off in one direction as a door rises behind them to reveal Jaffa. They walk down the corridor towards O'Neill and Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hey guys! What's happening?!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter suddenly appears behind the Jaffa. They turn and fire on her but the shots pass through her. She's a hologram. The diversion works and O'Neill and Teal'c have the element of surprise to fire on the Jaffa. The Jaffa are downed and O'Neill and Teal'c walk up to Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Nice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods and looks behind.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Ah, Heimdall says the way ahead is clear.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Let's move out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They walk up to Carter and walk through her, O'Neill swatting his hand through Carter who looks bemused.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP&mdash;THOR'S CELL'''<br />
<br />
[The door opens and Anubis walks in.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
You are the one they call Thor. I am Anubis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
As I have told your Lieutenant, I will reveal nothing to you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Anubis holds up a round device with spikes on it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
This device will be implanted into your brain, it will form a link between your mind and the ship's computer. Your knowledge will simply be downloaded into our memory banks. You will no doubt resist and you will no doubt fail.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
The Goa'uld possess no such technology.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Anubis turns to look at Thor. The cowl partially hides his face of black sludge.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
I think you will find many things have changed since my return.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Anubis leaves.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP&mdash;PELTAK'''<br />
<br />
[A Jaffa enters and walks up to Osiris.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
The intruders have breached our security perimeter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
How?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
One of our patrols was ambushed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
Seal the lower decks and divert coolant from the hyperdrive into the ventilation system.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Jaffa turns to Osiris in shock.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
The gas is toxic.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
Only with prolonged exposure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
Shall I evacuate the engine room?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
The intruders may be monitoring our communications. We cannot afford to give them a warning.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
But the engines will overheat and the entire compartment will be flooded with radiation. Many Jaffa will die.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
And they will be greatly honoured in the afterlife.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Jaffa looks at another Jaffa and carries out the order.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP&mdash;CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c come to a door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter appears as a hologram.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This is it, Sir. The shield generator room is just on the other side of that door. There are six Jaffa inside.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Only six?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[There is the sound of gas and Teal'c suddenly topples over. O'Neill follows him to the floor.]<br />

<br />
'''INT&mdash;ASGARD FACILITY'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Are you sure they're not injured?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
Their signals remain strong. They appear to have been taken to some kind of holding cell.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, we've got to get them out of there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
How?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm not sure yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
In the meantime we must do all we can to keep the research materials in this laboratory from falling into Goa'uld hands.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What exactly are we talking about here? Some DNA samples?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
Not exactly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Heimdall goes to the console and lowers a stasis pod containing a person that is a cross between an Asgard and human.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
That is one of my ancestors. Thirty thousand years ago a ship was launched from the Asgard homeworld, its crew placed in suspended animation. There was a failure on the navigational system and the ship was lost. Through the millennia it drifted across the empty expanse between our galaxies until it arrived here. We discovered it six months ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And this is one of its original crew?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
The only one that was perfectly preserved. He is from a time before our program of genetic manipulation became irreversible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So that's why he's so important. You're hoping his physiology can give you clues to stave off your own genetic degradation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Heimdall nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
We kept the laboratory in this galaxy to avoid the threat of the Replicators. Now we can no longer afford to wait. It is only a matter of time before the Goa'uld pinpoint our location.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Heimdall beams himself, Carter and the pod up to the cargo ship.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CARGO SHIP'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
I will require your assistance to adapt the stasis pods in the cargo ship's power supply</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Right. When we're done I want you to beam me back to the lab. I'm not ready to give up on Colonel O'Neill and Teal'c just yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP CELL'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill is lying on a bench and Teal'c is checking the door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Can't believe they took my watch.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Major Carter will soon have no choice but to leave with Heimdall.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
If she's smart, she's already gone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c moves to sit with O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
In which case our chances of escape are negligible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, I don't know. All we've gotta do is bust out of here, take out every Jaffa between here and the peltak, commandeer the ship and fly on home.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I stand corrected.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Thor's voice suddenly comes out of nowhere.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Thor? Is that you? Where are you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
I am still in my cell. However my mind has been linked with the ship's computer. And I am using the internal communication system to synthesise my voice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
The Goa'uld are attempting to download the information stored in my pre-frontal cortex. It is only a matter of time before they break through my mental defences.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, well, you know&hellip; love to help you but we've got our own problems here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
I am aware of your situation. I believe I may be able to rewrite some minor subroutines in the security protocol.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
To what end?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The door opens.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Sweet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
I am growing weak. Further communication will be impossible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hang tight. We'll get you out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c leave the cell and move off down the corridor. Carter the hologram appears behind them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Still with us, huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, Sir. Heimdall's got the cargo ship prepped and ready to go. He can remote access his transportation device and beam us straight there but we still need you to get those shields offline.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, well they took our C4. So we won't be blowing any stuff up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We'd have to find a control relay and pull the crystals. It will only take them a few seconds to switch to backups but that should be all we need.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Right. Which way?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm going to have to step off the holopad and check the ships schematics. Try to stay out of sight, I'll be back as soon as I can.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
Shields are down. Controls are offline.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
Repair them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ASGARD FACILITY'''<br />
<br />
[Osiris is still ribboning Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
Once more. Where is Doctor Jackson?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
He's dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>OSIRIS<br/><br />
You're lying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Go to hell.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Osiris raises the ribbon device again but Carter is transported out before she can use it.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP&mdash;CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c are transported out.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CARGO SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill, Carter and Teal'c appear in the cargo ship and Teal'c catches Carter as she collapses. Thor appears as well, still strapped to the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Get us out of here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
Well done, O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Thanks. Thor, buddy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill gently shakes Thor, who slowly opens his eyes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
O'Neill. You cannot take me with you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why not?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
The link between myself and the Goa'uld ship has not been severed. They will be able to track our position. You must leave me behind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right, that doesn't work for me. That's not an option for me. Okay?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP&mdash;PELTAK'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
Lord Anubis. The Asgard prisoner has gone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
He will not get far.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Anubis gestures to a Jaffa, who leaves the room.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CARGO SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c is flying the ship up through the atmosphere.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We've cleared the atmosphere. Bring up the hyperdrive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The ship is fired upon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Hyperdrive is offline. Cloak is failing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The mothership continues firing.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Cloak is down. We have lost our shields. We cannot sustain another hit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, we're receiving a transmission.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ANUBIS<br/><br />
Your ship is defenceless. You cannot escape. Surrender now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to Heimdall)<br />
Any ideas?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HEIMDALL<br/><br />
We cannot risk capture. We must destroy the ship ourselves.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Any good ideas?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly a hyperspace window appears and three Asgard ships appear.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We've got company. Three Asgard ships. Sir, I'm picking up a transmission to the Goa'uld ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FREYR<br/><br />
This is Freyr of the Asgard. The vessels you face are far superior to the one you attacked. Challenge us at your own peril.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Osiris/Anubis' ship moves off.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The mothership's retreating. It's over.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter, O'Neill, Teal'c and Hammond are sitting around the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Their examination of the android must have yielded some positive results. Because it looks like the Asgard have finally gained the upper hand against the Replicators.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What about Thor?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They managed to remove the device from his brain but it may have been too late. Apparently he's lapsed into a coma. If they knew more about how the device works they might be able to help him. They're studying it now towards that end. Unfortunately, it's unlike anything they've ever encountered before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is apparent that Anubis has gained access to technology previously unknown to the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Which would explain his rapid rise to power.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
All right. You're dismissed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c walk down a corridor in casual clothes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We're not that much of a nuisance just yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Of that I am not so sure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They meet Carter and Hammond at the elevator.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hey.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Heading home?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Actually, Teal'c and I were thinking of stopping off for a bite to eat. Interested?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sounds good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
General?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
You three go ahead, I've still got some work to do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly Carter's hair is ruffled by a gust of wind. Teal'c also turns towards the breeze.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What was that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond turns back to look at SG-1]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps a malfunction in the ventilation system?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, that's probably it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to Hammond)<br />
Bye, sir, have a good night.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond walks off. Carter walks into the elevator and Teal'c follows. Another gust of wind ruffles O'Neill's hair and he turns into the elevator, smiling.]<br />

<br />
'''PREVIOUSLY ON STARGATE SG-1'''<br />
<br />
[Flashbacks from 5.15 "Summit".]<br />
<br />
[Ren Au hands a vial to Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REN AU<br/><br />
These two liquids mixed together form the most virulent poison.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Am I supposed to hold my breath?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REN AU<br/><br />
The poison is only deadly to symbiotes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
There's enough material in that vial to kill every Tok'ra on this base twice over.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Flashback from 7.15 "Chimera.]<br />
<br />
[Osiris beams out of Daniel's bedroom.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Anubis once probed Thor's mind and in doing so they would have gained access to Asgard beaming technology.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Flashbacks from 8.08 "Covenant".]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Did you really think that they were gonna let you tell a secret like this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Brian, what are you talking about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
They call themselves the Trust.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They've been funding various secret endeavours, all aimed at controlling alien technology for their own purposes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Flashbacks from 8.07 "Affinity".]<br />
<br />
[Daniel has a mystery caller on the phone.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALLER<br/><br />
The symbols, Doctor Jackson. We know it's the language of the Ancients. We need it translated into Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
So either you give us what we want&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He cocks the weapon and points it at Krista.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
&hellip;or I will kill her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[End flashbacks.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN COMPLEX NIGHT'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Harriman is sitting at a monitor, making notes. A technician enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
What's going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
Not much.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The technician drags a chair over to sit next to Harriman.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
I hate the graveyard shift. Nothing exciting ever happens on it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
Hey, just because it's 3am here doesn't mean it's not daylight on other planets.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Harriman leans forward conspiratorially. The tech also leans forward.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
There could be a team coming in hot, any second now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
(awed)<br/><br />
Yeah, that's true.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Both turn slowly to look at the gate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
So, coffee?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They both walk to the rear of the Control Room, backs to the Stargate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
Let me ask you something. When it's late at night and there's not that many people around do you ever get the urge just to dial up the gate and check out another planet, just for a few minutes?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
That would be a no.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
Me&hellip;me&hellip;me neither.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A bright beam of light illuminates the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
What the hell?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Alarms start beeping. Both men look at each other then turn slowly towards the gate room. Harriman's mouth drops open in shock. They walk to the Control Room window, to see that the Stargate has disappeared. A couple of SFs in the gate room look up at them from the base of the ramp.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
The gate's gone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
(shocked)<br/><br />
I&hellip;I can see that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
Are we gonna get in trouble for this?</blockquote><br />
<br />

'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN COMPLEX DAY'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC INTERROGATION ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is interviewing Harriman and the technician. The interview is being recorded and filmed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What about your instruments. Were you detecting any signs of gate activity?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
No, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Did anyone approach the gate at any time?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So no unusual activity of any kind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
Both men shake their heads, Harriman decisively.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel switches off the tape recorder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
So, are we going to be facing any kind of disciplinary action for this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, Sergeant, I think it's safe to say there was nothing you could have done.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
Thank God! I mean there wasn't. One minute we were getting coffee, the next minute&hellip;.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Wait a minute, wait a minute.<br/><br />
(loudly)<br/><br />
You were getting coffee?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
Um&hellip;well&hellip;it's&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'm joking, I'm joking. It's just a joke. I'm sorry. Okay, that's all. Thank you guys, I appreciate that. Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel exits, leaving both Harriman and the tech looking relieved.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Daniel are looking down into the gateroom. Carter is sitting at a monitor on the briefing room table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'd hate to be the guy that has to explain this to the President.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill turns to stare at Daniel. Daniel turns to O'Neill, surprised to see him glaring.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, I've got the video surveillance footage.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Daniel turn away from the window and walk across to Carter at the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The gate disappeared at 0307. There were two airmen in the gateroom and two technicians in the control room but none of them saw or heard anything out of the ordinary prior to the flash.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The monitor shows the gate being beamed away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Is it just me or does that look like an Asgard beam?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It does, which makes no sense. Why would they take our gate?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. Usually they ask nicely before they ignore us and do whatever they damn well please.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What about the Prometheus? Didn't the Asgard install beam technology as well as a hyperdrive?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's in the hangar. We're still making adjustments to the new engines. There is another possibility. We know that Anubis possessed Asgard beam technology. We also know that Ba'al took over much of his fleet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You think Ba'al stole our gate?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
To be honest, right now I don't know what to think.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, I need some answers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's not going to be easy, sir. Without a gate, we have no access to offworld intel. We have no way of knowing what's going on out there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You'll think of something. In the meantime&hellip;I have a phone call to make.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill glares at Daniel again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Is Teal'c still on P4S-161?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, his meeting with the rebel Jaffa leader should be over by now. When he can't contact us he'll follow protocol and head to the Alpha site.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel nods.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;ALPHA SITE'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ALPHA SITE CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c enters the Control Room, dressed in robes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Colonel Pierce.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
What is the situation?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
We've been out of contact with Earth for seven hours now. We can establish a wormhole but all we get is a do not proceed response to our IDC.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
As was the case when I attempted to return from my mission.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
We've had lockdowns before, but the fact that they're not responding to any of our radio calls has me concerned. Right now we have no idea what's happening at Stargate Command.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I will return to P4S-161. The rebel Jaffa will provide me with a cargo ship which I will then take to Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c begins to turn away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c turns back to face Pierce.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
We're not jumping to conclusions. This may be just a malfunction, but it's also possible Earth has been compromised.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c leaves.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CARTER'S LAB'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel enters the lab.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Find anything?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, as a matter of fact I have.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel walks up to Carter, who is sitting at a monitor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I've been going over gate room security tapes from the sensor logs. For two days before the gate disappeared we were getting this anomalous reading. We assumed it was residual feedback from a recent overhaul of the super conductors, but&hellip;I don't think so. Look at this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter plays a video tape on the monitor, which shows a scientist kneeling at the gate. A couple of beeps can be heard on the video.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What was that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I don't know. But I checked the time code and this corresponds with the exact moment that the sensors began recording the anomaly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter zooms in on the image of the scientist at the gate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I think we need to talk to this guy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill is looking at a personnel file.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Doctor Kevin Hartkins. He's been with the program seven months. Clean record, nothing out of the ordinary, except that he's gone missing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
He failed to report for duty this morning. We checked his apartment, it was cleaned out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
This is starting to sound familiar.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You think it's the Trust.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, they've been busy lately. They had Teal'c under surveillance, they blackmailed you and they tried to kill Alec Colson. Obviously, the operation is a lot bigger than we first thought. Now, as far as we know the NID has been clean for over a year. But there are still dozens of ex-agents who are unaccounted for. And they continue to receive financing from unknown sources.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Please, if they could take the gate out from under us they could empty the vault at Fort Knox.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Not necessarily. If they could take the gate any time they wanted, they would have, but that doesn't explain what Hartkins was doing, or the anomalous signal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Got a theory?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The Prometheus has Asgard beam technology but not Asgard sensors. Which means that we can't pinpoint specific targets unless they've been tagged in advance. What if whoever did this has the same problem?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Do you think the anomaly was a locater beacon?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, which Hartkins placed directly on the gate. I mean, there's no other way they could pull this off.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So my stamp collection is safe. How does that help us find the gate?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, if they want to keep using the beam, they'll have to keep using the beacons. We could request NSA satellite time to see if we could detect the signal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Do it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P4S-161 STARGATE'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c exits the Stargate. As he comes down the steps, he prepares his staff weapon for firing. Many Jaffa are lying on the ground, dead. Teal'c checks the pulse of one then rises, weapon ready, as someone comes out of the bushes, also armed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
M'zel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c lowers the staff weapon as the other man waves at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[M'zel approaches Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
What has happened here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
When I arrived, they were all dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
All?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
I will show you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Both men walk away from the Stargate and the dead Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;WAREHOUSE'''<br />
<br />
[A warehouse is surrounded by armed men and two vehicles. Another vehicle arrives and three of the armed men go towards it. Carter and Daniel exit the vehicle and immediately crouch down behind it. Carter speaks to one of the men.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SOLDIER<br/><br />
We took out a couple of guards and we have the area secured. Satellite intel puts the signal somewhere inside this complex.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Alright. You three are with us. Keep your men on the perimeter, no-one in, no-one out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SOLDIER<br/><br />
Understood.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter moves away towards the building's doorway, followed by a couple of the soldiers and Daniel. One of the men places an explosive device on the door and detonates it. The door opens.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;WAREHOUSE'''<br />
<br />
[A smoke grenade is thrown inside. After the grenade detonates, the soldiers entered, followed by Carter and Daniel. As Carter checks the warehouse, Daniel moves to an area containing equipment.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Sam!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel throws back a sheet covering a number of rockets.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel, these are VX rockets.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel picks up a cylinder, containing a fluorescent blue liquid.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah? What's this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Methyl Phosphonofluoridic acid.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Which is?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Nerve gas.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay, putting that back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel places the cylinder back on the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
There's enough here to kill several hundred thousand people.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What would the ex-NID be doing stockpiling this stuff?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I've no idea.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SOLDIER<br/><br />
Gun!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The soldiers start firing at a man who appears from behind a truck. He returns fire, hitting the nerve gas canisters. Carter zats him. As the soldiers move towards the man, Daniel notices that the damaged canisters are smoking.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Ah! We've got a problem here. What do we do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns to see the canisters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's too late.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Nothing's happening.</blockquote><br />
<br />

We managed to identify the liquid we found in the warehouse.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter hands a small vial of blue liquid to O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's symbiote poison. Specifically, the new formula we were working on in conjunction with the Tok'ra. [O'Neill carefully places the vial on the table and wipes his fingers.]</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's more stable than the original and easier to produce but just as deadly to the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And the Jaffa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/> <br />
Exactly, which is why we agreed not to use it, except in defensive situations. Sir, the people behind this have the gate and they have rockets capable of delivering the poison in aerosol form over large areas. I think The Trust intends to launch a full scale chemical attack against the Goa'uld, without any regard for the millions of Jaffa lives that could be lost in the process.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So, they didn't get the memo.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The guy from the warehouse isn't talking but he was carrying this.</blockquote><br />

Colonel Carter, Doctor Jackson. Sorry to keep you waiting.</blockquote><br />

[Carter and Daniel stand. They are both wearing khaki jumpsuits.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Doctor Bricksdale, I believe you've been briefed on our situation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
Yes, I have</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, as a result of our investigation we have reason to believe that your security has been compromised.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
With all due respect, Colonel, we're not the ones who lost a Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
But alien technology has gone missing from Area 51 before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
Yes, however our security measures have been significantly increased since then. No-one's allowed to bring anything in or out. No computers, no cell phones, not even their street clothes, as you've seen. All personnel are subject to a thorough search and scan every time they leave.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Look, whoever took the Stargate has access to Asgard beam technology. Last year, when Osiris came to Earth she used that same technology which she activated remotely with a wrist device. After she was captured that wrist device was brought here, and you worked on it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
And it's been here ever since.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, if you don't mind, we'd like to see it.</blockquote><br />

Doctor Harris checked out some of the dead Jaffa on P4S-161. You were right. It was the Tok'ra symbiote poison.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I would not have believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
I knew the Tok'ra had lost patience with the alliance but I never thought they'd do anything like this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[M'zel enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
(angrily)<br/><br />
Teal'c! I have received word from our Jaffa brothers. Three more Goa'uld planets have been attacked. Millions are dead.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
You see? It's right where we left it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sorry if I'm a little skeptical but we've been down this road before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter scans the device.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's real</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
Like I said. We figured if Osiris' ship was still up there, we could use the wrist device to get onboard. Unfortunately, it's not only keyed to the presence of naquadah in the blood of the user, but also specific Goa'uld DNA. We tried to create an adaptor using samples of both elements, but we didn't get anywhere.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So the ship is probably still in orbit but cloaked.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
In which case, we have no way to find it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ALPHA SITE CONTROL ROOM'''<br />

<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
(angrily)<br/><br />
The Tok'ra will be made to pay for this treachery.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
Let's just calm down a second. We need to figure out what's going on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
What more do you need to know? The Jaffa are being murdered, poisoned like vermin.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
The Tok'ra have had this chemical weapon for a long time. Why would they suddenly decide to use it now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps the failure of the alliance convinced them that there was no other way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
There's something else going on. It's not a coincidence that this happened immediately after we lost contact with Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It does seem unlikely. We must speak to the Tok'ra directly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
That's not so easy. Ever since they left the Alpha Site we haven't had much intelligence on their movements. We have no idea where the new base is.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We still know the location of some of their operatives. I believe our best chance for contact is P3S-114. A Tok'ra operative named Zarin is undercover, commanding one of Ba'al's garrisons on that world.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
I will come with you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
Whoa, hold on a minute, here. You're talking about walking into Goa'uld occupied territory. There's no Jaffa fifth column there to help you out. Without sympathetic warriors in Zarin's ranks, how do you plan to avoid being captured?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We do not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
Only by being captured will we be brought before the commander.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
That's how you're going to make contact?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
We must speak to the Tok'ra. There is no other way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
It's too risky. You walk in there unannounced and Zarin could have you sacrificed just to maintain her cover.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
That is a great possibility.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
You realise, the second you walk through that gate you're on your own.</blockquote><br />
<br />

So what's the big emergency?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
I can't do this anymore.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
You've already taken the money, Doctor. A little late for cold feet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
You don't understand. They came to see me. They asked me about the wrist device.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
Who?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
Two people from Stargate Command.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />

<br />
[Hoskins looks around, nervously.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A black van races into the alley towards them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
You were followed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hoskins fires as a number of armed men exit the van. As the men return fire, Hoskins shoots out the lock on a wooden door near him and goes inside. Another van races up, just as the SG forces surround Bricksdale, who puts his hands high in the air. As Bricksdale is pushed down onto the car's bonnet, another team follow Hoskins into the building. Hoskins fires on the soldiers, who duck behind crates.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SOLDIER<br/><br />
Nobody fire, we need him alive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hoskins climbs out onto the roof, then runs along until he jumps down to the ground. As he activates a device, Carter stands from behind a vehicle and zats him. Carter moves towards Hoskins and picks up the device which is beeping softly. Suddenly, she is beamed away.]<br />

I can't!</blockquote><br />

A decorated officer in the United States Air Force and a member of one of our government's most top secret organisations is missing, and you're implicated.</blockquote><br />

<br />

Well, she's probably on the ship.</blockquote><br />

Osiris' ship. So you did manage to get on board?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bricksdale nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
About a year ago some men came to see me. They knew everything about my work, the Stargate, Osiris. They knew there was a possibility that a cloaked ship had been left in orbit and they wanted it badly. I told them that the key was the wrist device, but I couldn't get it out of there, at least not through the front door.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What do you mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
One day I was in the lab working on the adapter. The next thing I know, I found myself on the ship. I had remotely activated the transport beam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Which you failed to report.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
It was killing me that I wasn't able to tell anybody I'd figured it out. I had to keep telling them it wasn't working. Anyway, after that, I went back and forth half a dozen times. But at the end of the day, the wrist device was always back where it belonged. </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And you beamed the others up using locator beacons.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
Well, the beam was the only thing that worked without the command codes. That's where you came in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Translation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel closes his eyes in disgust.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
Osiris worked for Anubis, and Anubis had all his command codes translated into Ancient. And once they had full control of the ship, thanks to you, they had no need for me. They kept a permanent presence up there, twenty four-seven, worked in shifts. I went back to Area 51 and sabotaged the adapter. Project was shelved and no-one was the wiser.</blockquote><br />

Can you get the wrist device to work again?</blockquote><br />

Absolutely.</blockquote><br />

Spare me, Colonel. The Jaffa are a race of warriors, bred specifically to serve the Goa'uld and enslave humans throughout the galaxy.</blockquote><br />
<br />

They're indoctrinated from childhood to believe that the Goa'uld are their Gods. They don't have a choice.</blockquote><br />

So they're just following orders, right? Where have I heard that argument before?</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>COMM OFFICER<br/><br />
Sensor grid R14 shows no anomalies, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
Very well, proceed to the next grid.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COMM OFFICER<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
She's out there somewhere.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC INTERROGATION ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel enters the room. Bricksdale is sitting at the table. Daniel slams a case onto the table. Opening it, he swivels the case round to show Bricksdale the wrist device.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Make it work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bricksdale smirks at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP CARGO HOLD'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JENNINGS<br/><br />
Our next target is P5R-357.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
Let's do it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I wouldn't bother.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Both men turn to face Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Ba'al abandoned that planet six months ago when the naquadah mines went dry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JENNINGS<br/><br />
She's lying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Go ahead. Waste another rocket, that's one less planet you'll be able to destroy. </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
She does have more up-to-date intelligence.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JENNINGS<br/><br />
She's bluffing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
You can make this a lot less painful if you help us select optimum targets.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What are you talking about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
You know as much about the current tactical and strategic positions of the different System Lords as anyone on Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I don't know as much as you think.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
You know enough to help us get maximum effect with minimum collateral damage. You're the one who wants to save innocent lives.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter smiles mirthlessly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Nice try.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JENNINGS<br/><br />
So. Are we going for P5R-357, or not?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hoskins ponders, looking at Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
Go to the next one on the list.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jennings shakes his head, obviously not happy.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[As Daniel gears up, Siler works on the wrist device. O'Neill enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Alright, tell me again why I should agree to this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Because it's the only way we have to get on the ship, and if they've changed the command codes I'm the one who has the best chance to decipher the Ancient symbols.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And if there are ten armed goons when you get there you're the one that's gonna get&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill gestures a finger across his throat.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Better ideas?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks at O'Neill and Siler. Both are silent.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Look, Daniel, just because I don't have a better idea is no reason to do anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Both Daniel and O'Neill look confused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Look, once I shut down the cloak, Prometheus will be able to pinpoint the ship's location. Then all I'll have to do is disable the hyper-drive and wait for the cavalry. They'll never see it coming.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Which is one of the advantages of a totally insane idea.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, where did I learn that from?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and O'Neill grimace at each other.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Siler hands the wrist device to Daniel. As Daniel activates a zat, Siler moves to stand behind O'Neill. Seeing this, O'Neill moves back also. Daniel turns to look at a scientist standing behind him. The man moves away quickly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
See you soon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel activates the wrist device and is beamed out.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel materialises on the ship. Seeing that the room is empty, he moves to a console and tries to access the system. Access is denied.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Come on!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Typing further, he gets a System Error message.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Fine!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Moving away from the console, he opens a drawer containing power crystals. He fires the zat at the crystals, which die.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[Osiris' ship de-cloaks.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel leaves the room.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COMM OFFICER<br/><br />
Sir, we have something, definitely a ship. Bearing's 157 by 229. 500,000 kilometres.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
Battle stations. Plot an intercept course.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COMM OFFICER<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
General O'Neill, this is Prometheus.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill is sitting in the Control Room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Go ahead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
Looks like Doctor Jackson pulled it off, sir. We have them on our screens and we are moving in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Understood.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP CARGO HOLD'''<br />
<br />
[Hoskins and Jennings are preparing another rocket. Brookes enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BROOKES<br/><br />
We've got a problem. I just monitored a sixty percent drop in our power consumption.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
The cloak.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hoskins takes out a zat and gestures at Carter as he leaves with Brookes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
Stay with her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jennings turns to look down at Carter.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel stealthily moves down the corridor, zat at the ready. As he turns a corner he is zatted from behind. Hoskins and Brookes come around the corner, zat aimed at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
Get up to the bridge. Get that cloak back online.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BROOKES<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Brookes leaves as Hoskins looks down at the unconscious Daniel.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COMM OFFICER<br/><br />
We're in weapons range, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
Have they noticed us yet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COMM OFFICER<br/><br />
I don't think so. They seem to be operating at minimal power, no evasive manoeuvres.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
What about the hyper-drive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COMM OFFICER<br/><br />
Still no signal from Doctor Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
General O'Neill, we have a problem. The ship's cloak is down, sir, but Doctor Jackson is yet to confirm whether he has disabled the hyper-drive or not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Just give him a little more time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Right now, sir, they are sitting ducks. If they spot us they can run and we won't be able to catch them. We can't afford to let them get away, General. I recommend we open fire immediately.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill does not respond.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
General, please advise.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill, silent, looks concerned.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[Brookes enters the bridge, sees that Daniel has tried to access the system and discovers the damaged crystals.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP CARGO HOLD'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel sits down next to Carter. They both look at each other, smiling slightly. Hoskins stands over them, holding a zat. Jennings enters, wiping his hands on a rag.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JENNINGS<br/><br />
Where the hell did he come from?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He throws the rag down in anger.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
He had the wrist device.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JENNINGS<br/><br />
Any chance there's more of them onboard?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
It only lets one person up at a time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BROOKES<br/><br />
(over radio)<br/><br />
Hoskins, this is Brookes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Go ahead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BROOKES<br/><br />
(over radio)<br/><br />
The cloak's been disabled. I don't know if I can get it back online.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and Carter glance at each other.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
This position is compromised. We need to get out of here now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BROOKES<br/><br />
(over radio)<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JENNINGS<br/><br />
What about them?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
We can't take them with us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don't mind going for a little ride.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Me neither.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hoskins aims the zat at them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
Sorry about this, Doctor Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The gate suddenly activates. Jennings and Hoskins turn towards it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JENNINGS<br/><br />
Incoming!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jennings and Hoskins dive to the floor as the event horizon whooshes out. As Hoskins starts to rise, Daniel jumps up and pushes him to the floor. Carter kicks Jennings' feet from under him. Hoskins' zat and radio skitter across the floor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(over radio - via Stargate)<br/><br />
This is Teal'c of SG-1. Please respond.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel hits Hoskins but his next punch is blocked and Hoskins hits him in the stomach and face.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(over radio - via Stargate)<br/><br />
This is Teal'c of SG-1. Repeat, this is Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter kicks Jennings in the face. Daniel, on the ground, reaches for Hoskins' radio.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(over radio - via Stargate)<br/><br />
Does anyone read? Repeat, this is Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Teal'c, this is Daniel, we need your help, come on through.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hoskins notices the zat and rushes to pick it up. As he aims it at Daniel, Teal'c comes through the Stargate. Hoskins, hearing Teal'c come through, turns to fire at him but Teal'c shoots him with his staff weapon. Hoskins falls to the ground, dead. Teal'c walks down the steps to Hoskins, still aiming at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Does somebody want to untie me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BROOKES<br/><br />
(over radio)<br/><br />
Cargo hold? What's happening down there? Cargo hold respond. Jennings, Hoskins, where the hell are you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[Not receiving a reply, Brookes works at a couple of the consoles.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP CARGO HOLD'''<br />
<br />
[As Daniel unties Carter, the sound of the engines firing can be heard. The power fluctuates.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What's happening.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter runs to one of the monitors.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
She's bringing the hyperdrive online. Get to the gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Daniel stand at the gate.]<br />
<br />

<br />
[Brookes prepares to manoeuvre the ship.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />

They're trying to run, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
Dammit.<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
General O'Neill? They are powering up their hyperdrive. We are out of options.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Can you disable the ship without destroying it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
I cannot give you any guarantees.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP CARGO HOLD'''<br />
<br />
[Carter searches Jennings' pockets. She finds the beacon device and activates it.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COMM OFFICER<br/><br />
Sir, we're picking up a signal coming from inside the ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
What is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COMM OFFICER<br/><br />
Locator beacon, sir. Same frequency.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
Lock on the signal, activate transport beam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COMM OFFICER<br/><br />
Beam activated.</blockquote><br />

<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />

[Osiris' ship launches into hyper-drive and enters a wormhole.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COMM OFFICER<br/><br />
The ship's gone, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Cargo bay, report.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOICE OVER RADIO<br/><br />
This is cargo bay. We have the gate, sir, as well as Teal'c, Colonel Carter and Doctor Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Comm Officer smiles.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
(surprised)<br/><br />
Teal'c?<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Acknowledged.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />

General O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
(over radio)<br/><br />
It looks like you were right. We have the gate and SG-1 aboard. They are alive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's good news. Bring them home.</blockquote><br />
<br />

'''INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is in the gate room with Siler and a number of technicians. The Stargate is being replaced. Carter walks down the ramp.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The good news is, the gate is fully operational again. We can resume offworld missions immediately.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And the bad news is, the Trust now has a fully functional Goa'uld Alkesh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We've installed jamming devices around the gate to prevent any locator beams from operating in the future.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
What of the Tok'ra poison?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, they left most of it behind, but they still have enough to wipe out at least half a dozen Goa'uld worlds.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c raises an eyebrow.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
In retrospect, maybe you should have destroyed the ship when you had the chance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(seriously)<br/><br />
Yeah. Tough choice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill exits, leaving Carter, Daniel and Teal'c looking towards him.]<br />

<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The klaxons sound as Hammond and SG1, geared up for a mission, view a MALP image of a domed structure on the computer screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PA SYSTEM<br/><br />
Chevron four encoded.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
This is video the MALP sent back from P7J-989.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FEMALE TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
Atmosphere, temperature and radioactivity levels are ideal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Teal'c, this structure familiar at all?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It does not appear to be of Goa'uld origin.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It looks pretty advanced.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's a possible a new source of information and technology, maybe even an ally against the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Well, it's worth a try, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;WORMHOLE TRAVEL SHOT'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PLANET P7J-989&mdash;STARGATE'''<br />
<br />
[The team step out into a green garden-like world and look around. Flowers are in abundance around them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, this is beautiful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, but where there's a garden, there's snakes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And flowers. Ah choo!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O’Neill, Carter and Teal’c start to walk off. Daniel follows.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Way too many flowers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PLANET P7J-989&mdash;DOMED STRUCTURE'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DOMED STRUCTURE'''<br />
<br />
[A door slides open and SG-1 enter the domed building, weapons drawn. There is tropical vegetation growing within, but it appears deserted. As the team make their way further, they notice people encased in chair-like apparatuses who appear to be in stasis. They are clothed in dark robes and shrouded in dark veils. Tubes extend from the 'chair' and are attached to their bodies.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I like what they've done with the place.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm not so sure I like what the place has done to them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 take a closer look at the people in the devices.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They're human.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
They are breathing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(referencing the chair-like devices)<br/><br />
All right, does anyone have any idea what these chambers might be?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Some kind of medical device maybe, suspended animation of some kind?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They continue to look around&mdash;they find four empty chambers.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, this is way past our science, whatever this is.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The tubes in the chambers reach out and grab SG-1, tentacle-like. They are each dragged into a chamber and after a struggle, tubes attach themselves to their temples. They fall asleep like the others on the planet.]<br />

'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;VIRTUAL EARTH&mdash;EAST GERMANY 1982'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c are standing in an open area outside a dilapidated farmhouse or cottage. Daniel and Carter are not there. Both are dressed in older military fatigues, sporting black knit caps, and are carrying rifles. They look around at their surroundings, confused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
What is this place?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah, I dunno. I can't put my finger on it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(Looking around)<br/><br />
It appears to be Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. Teal'c, what the hell just happened to us?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We were exploring PJ7-989. We entered into a large domed facility and endured some form of bodily attack.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill raises his weapon as a truck pulls up. Teal'c does the same. The vehicle comes to a halt and two men dressed in military garb similar to O'Neill and Teal'c's exit the cab. One of the men is Kawalsky.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Weapon still raised, he is stunned at who he sees.)<br/><br />
Kawalsky? John?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
It's Colonel. You can lower your weapon, Captain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks from one man to the other, then he and Teal'c cautiously lower their rifles.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KAWALSKY<br/><br />
Why you acting so spooked, Jack?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Maybe because I am. You're both supposed to be dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kawalsky and Michaels look at each other and grin.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
That's real cute, Jack. Look, the intel on this one is good. They keep Boris here during the day and take him underground at night. Our bird confirmed on its last flyover: no snipers, it's only two guards inside. It's a piece of cake. This ain't the one that you and me die on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
As a matter of fact, this is the one you die on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Michaels and Kawalsky look hard at O'Neill then move to get their gear on. O'Neill turns to Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Quietly)<br/><br />
I went on this mission in 1982, East Germany. We were supposed to grab a Russian agent from that house down there. It all went bad.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
You ready to move out or not, Captain?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, no, because this isn't real. It can't be.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Oh it's real. It's very real. Your stalling here is putting the rest of this unit in jeopardy. Now, let's move out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No. Because I'm either dreaming or hallucinating.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Michaels punches O'Neill in the jaw.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Was that real enough for ya, Jack?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kawalsky looks on as he readies his weapon. O'Neill glances at Teal'c, then back at Michaels.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Nodding his head at Teal'c)<br/><br />
All right, how do you explain him? Does he look like a member of this team?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill pulls Teal'c's hat off. O'Neill stares, incredulous. Teal'c has hair and his gold tattoo is gone.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Thomas has been on this team longer that you have. Now, you get your head on straight, Captain. We are not aborting the mission this late, do you understand?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Michaels walks away. O'Neill hands Teal'c back his knit cap. He is confused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(To himself and/or Teal'c)<br/><br />
What the hell is this? What the hell's going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c takes a look at himself in the cottage window.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I am as perplexed as you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Teal'c, do you think&hellip;Is there a chance those machines we were sucked into were some kind of&hellip;I don't know&hellip;time machine or something?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is possible. The Goa'uld have experimented with time manipulation for years. Perhaps another race succeeded.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So, it's possible this is real?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You say this is a mission from your past that did not go well?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps someone has given you the opportunity to alter your history.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill thinks it over for a few seconds.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They rejoin Kawalsky and the team.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Let's move out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
It's about time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They move out, eventually arriving at their targeted location. The take up position outside the gated area of a large house, weapons drawn.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Whispers to Michaels)<br/><br />
Hold up. Let's not make the same mistake twice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
(Low voice)<br/><br />
What the hell are you talkin' about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Low voice)<br/><br />
Sniper on the roof.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Michaels uses his binoculars and spots the sniper. He gives orders using hand signals.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
(Low voice)<br/><br />
Nice catch, Jack.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The team's sharpshooter shoots down the sniper.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Let's go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The team continue to make their way slowly into the compound, using hand signals to communicate. Kawalsky crawls on his belly to his position behind a short stone wall, and on Michaels' signal, the team shoot tear gas into the house through the glass window. Michaels crawls over to O'Neill and Teal'c's position by the stone wall. He pulls on his gas mask and gets ready to move out. O'Neill appears to be dreading this.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Move now!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Michaels leaps over the wall, and the team follow him. While they hurry toward the house, the enemy rise up from behind a hedge at the side of the garden and begin shooting. Michaels is shot. With Teal'c providing cover fire, O'Neill goes to get John and pulls him to safety behind the protection of a trailer filled with rock. He tries to help his injured commander.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Desperate)<br/><br />
Come on, John.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill pulls Michaels' mask off. Michaels is bleeding from the mouth. O'Neill holds his friend's head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
So much for satellite recon. Jack, take care of Barbara for me, man?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Michaels gurgles briefly, then dies. O'Neill holds his friend for a moment, grimacing, then takes charge.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Fall back!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill joins the team as they all retreat, leaving Michaels where he died. Kawalsky is right behind them. Teal'c and O'Neill jump over the wall and duck down out of sight.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Looking around)<br/><br />
Where's Kawalsky?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
He was immediately behind us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly, a truck pulls up in front of them. O'Neill takes aim. Michaels and Kawalsky and the others step out of the truck just as they had done earlier. The three men regard O'Neill and Teal'c curiously.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Lower your weapon, Captain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Disconcertedly, O'Neill looks at the man who'd just died then glances back over the wall at the house where he'd left his body. Teal'c's expression is a mask of confusion.]<br />
<br />
'''FADE TO INT&mdash;VIRTUAL EARTH&mdash;NEW YORK MUSEUM OF ART C.1973'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel and Carter find themselves in a room full of Egyptian artifacts and are dressed in 70's period clothing. Both scan their surroundings, confused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay, what just happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm not sure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel fingers the ties on his Dashiki shirt, as they look around.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
This place looks familiar.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They wander around.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Realizing)<br/><br />
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. This is the New York Museum of Art. I've been here many times. Many times.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[An exhibition is being set up off-camera. A voice is heard giving orders.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Okay, careful with that cover stone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAKE<br/><br />
Yes, Doctor Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel sees what's happening and moves toward it. Carter looks at Daniel anxiously.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Incredulously)<br/><br />
No&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MUSEUM WORKER<br/><br />
(To Daniel)<br/><br />
I'm sorry. This area isn't open to the public.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel brushes her arm aside, but doesn't advance much further. Carter is by his side.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Be careful with that cover plate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A stone structure is being set up. Pillars have been positioned upright and a crane is lifting a large flat stone above the pillars. A man and woman are standing beneath it. The woman is clutching a set of blueprints, and the couple are directing the work being done.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CLAIRE<br/><br />
Jake, it's swinging a bit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Can you bring this thing on the left in a little more?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Gaping in disbelief, Daniel just stands and stares at the scene. Carter sees that Daniel recognizes something.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel, what's going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Ignoring her)<br/><br />
No, this can't be real.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
(Out of sight)<br />
Careful. Careful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Who are these people?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Brief flabbergasted pause.)<br/><br />
They're my parents.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[His parents are still standing underneath the cover stone, directing.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Move it towards the back, careful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CLAIRE<br/><br />
Watch it on your left.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
On your left. Jake, can we bring this in? Careful, bring it down. Let's look at the front.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The cover stone wobbles.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CLAIRE<br/><br />
It's swinging.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
(To Claire)<br/><br />
It's okay, it's fine, we'll be fine. <br/><br />
(To Jake) Careful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Distressed)<br/><br />
No!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CLAIRE<br/><br />
A bit more level, Jake.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Okay, Jake, let's bring it dow&mdash;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Desperately)<br/><br />
Get outta there, Mom! Get outta there, Dad!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The chain holding the cover stone suspended above them snaps. Screams are heard as the stone falls onto the pillars, knocking them over and crushing Daniel's parents beneath. Carter turns away from the sight. Daniel shuts his eyes and drops his head, then looks up again, gasping at what he'd just relived.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;VIRTUAL EARTH&mdash;EAST GERMANY'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill is positioned behind a tree. He moves to the next tree and ducks behind it. Teal'c follows.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Whispering to Teal'c)<br/><br />
This is too real, every detail, all the players are here. Why should I go through this again?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
If someone has used an advanced technology to send us here to repair your history&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You see, that's just it&mdash;it's history. It's over. It happened. I can't change it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Remaining here doing nothing will most certainly change nothing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Thinking this over.)<br/><br />
I&hellip;oh God. All right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They move out from their positions. The sniper on the roof is spotted and killed again. The signal is made for the tear gas to be fired again. Michaels returns to O'Neill's side and puts his gas mask on.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Colonel, we should check those hedges.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Negative. Stick to the plan, Captain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Off to the side, O'Neill notices people standing around. They are dressed like the people in the chambers in the domed structure. They are observing the events. O'Neill points them out to Teal'c, who sees them, too.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Move now!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The team move out and head for the house. However, O'Neill pulls Michaels down and behind the cover of the trailer with the stones.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Jack, what are you doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill rises up and shoots at the hedges, where the gunmen were before.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
That is not part of the plan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Michaels runs out and heads for the house.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
John!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The enemy rise up from the behind the roofline of the house and open fire. Michaels is shot. Teal'c again provides cover while O'Neill goes back to retrieve Michaels, dragging him back behind the trailer. As before, he removes Michaels' gasmask.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Come on, John.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
So much for satellite recon. Jack, take care of Barbara for me, man?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As before, he gurgles and dies.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Under his breath)<br/><br />
Oh God. <br/><br />
(To the team)<br/><br />
Fall back!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c retreat to their earlier position over the wall, as the people in black look on. A vehicle pulling up draws O'Neill's attention, and he and Teal'c take aim. It's the same truck carrying Michaels and Kawalsky and the rest of the squad again. They exit the vehicle as before.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Lower your weapon, Captain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What the hell is going on here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
What is with you, Jack? Operation East Fly is go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He grabs Michaels by the jacket and holds his gun up to him]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You! Who are you and who are those people?<br/><br />
(Referring to the people in black.)</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
There's no one here but us! What are you looking for a Section 8, Jack?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A man dressed in decorative robes and headdress appears from behind the truck.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
You must stop arguing and proceed with the mission.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He smirks at their questioning looks.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Allow me to introduce myself, I am the Keeper.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Puzzled)<br/><br />
The keeper of what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
The keeper of all that is around you, of all that is and all that might be.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill studies Michaels for a moment, then lets him go and lowers his weapon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Why do you wish us to proceed with this mission?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(To O'Neill)<br/><br />
Because it is that which *you* have always wanted.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You've got to be kidding me. This was the most blown operation I've ever been involved with. What makes you think I want to watch my friends be killed over and over again?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
You have always wished to do it again in order to do it differently.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
We're going with or without you, Jack.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
See ya.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
(Irritably)<br/><br />
All right. Have it your way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
You must go with them. It's the only way to evince the change that you have desired for so many years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I can't change the outcome if you keep changing the rules.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Do you not wish to save the lives of your friends and comrades?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
If they were real!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
But there are so many fantastic variations that you could try.<br/><br />
(Enticingly)<br/><br />
Perhaps this time you could try a different route?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at the Keeper, then looks around at the people.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Eyes back on the Keeper)<br/><br />
Sit down, Teal'c. We're not playing this game.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill brushes past the other man.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Rolling his eyes)<br/><br />
Very well. Have it your way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Keeper moves away, while O'Neill and Teal'c stand by the stone wall bordering the field. They lean leisurely, but uneasily, against the wall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I hope by doing nothing we are taking the correct action, O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill nods as guns open fire in the background.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Grimly)<br/><br />
So do I.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;VIRTUAL EARTH&mdash;NEW YORK MUSEUM OF ART'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is composing himself as he leans against a display case in the museum. Carter is standing by him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel, I'm so sorry you had to go through that again. I've been thinking, we were pulled into those things, those machines, right? At first, when we got here, I thought maybe they were some sort of time dilation machines&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(sighing)<br/><br />
Oh Sam, please just&hellip;just tell me that this isn't real.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, I don't think it is. It isn't consistent with any of the logical theories of time travel. For example, you should be seeing yourself here as a child or become a child again. Daniel, I'm guessing here, but I think we're in some sort of advanced re-creation being pumped into our minds by those machines.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[In the background, voices are heard again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Okay, careful with that cover stone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel stands quickly in alarm and moves to view the exhibit area. Carter is right there with him. The Jacksons are back under the cover stone directing the set up. They are alive and well. Carter watches Daniel with concern, then Daniel steps forward to the exhibit area.] <blockquote>MUSEUM WORKER<br/><br />
I'm sorry. This area isn't open to the public.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Again, Daniel ignores her and goes up to his parents.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(Calling after him)<br/><br />
Daniel, I don't think we're actually here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CLAIRE<br/><br />
Jake, it's swinging a bit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(To himself)<br/><br />
No&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks around and sees the people shrouded in black standing amidst the displays observing the events.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(To his parents)<br/><br />
Excuse me. <br/><br />
(Claire and Melburn look up at him from their schematics.)<br/><br />
Listen to me. Um, you have to come out of there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Danny, go back outside.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Claire keeps a wary eye on the cover stone, while Melburn looks back at the schematics.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(To himself, a memory is evoked)<br/><br />
Danny&hellip;<br/><br />
(To his parents)<br/><br />
No, look, look, you have to come out right now, because I&hellip;<br/><br />
(Claire looks at him frowning indulgently)<br/><br />
&hellip;because I&hellip;I hurt myself. I hurt myself badly. I think I might have broken my leg. Now, you have to come out right now and take care of me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CLAIRE<br/><br />
You couldn't have hurt your leg too badly, dear. You're walking on it, okay? We'll be out in a minute, okay, Sweetie?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
(To Jake)<br/><br />
Okay, Jake.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[His parents are too consumed in the set up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Backing away frustrated)<br/><br />
No&hellip;No&hellip;!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The chain snaps and the cover stone falls again. His parents scream and Melburn grabs Claire around the waist trying to yank her out of the way, but the pillars and stone topple and engulf them. Daniel shuts his eyes and Carter turns away, while the workers start scrambling in the background to free Daniel's parents. Carter looks back and sees that the mysterious people are still standing around watching.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAKE<br/><br />
Help me with this. Help me with this. Dr. Jackson! Dr. Jackson, can you hear me? I can't see anything. Here, help me with this. Lift it! Lift it! It's too heavy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Stunned, Daniel turns and walks mutely away from the scene, desperately trying to keep his emotions in check. Carter rushes up to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel, correct me if I'm wrong but I'll bet when this really happened, you didn't have this audience.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She indicates the people in black. Daniel looks up from his grief and sees what Carter is seeing.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I think that we must be in some sort of really advanced simulation, like a&hellip;a virtual reality. It's the only thing I can think of that could explain all this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(sardonically)<br/><br />
Oh super. So it takes one of the most tragic moments in my life and plays it over and over again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, maybe that's your strongest memory.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
He called me 'Danny' like I'm&hellip;like I'm still a little kid.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's probably because that's how old you were when this happened. You have taken on the role of Daniel Jackson as a child in this simulation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You know, I used to replay this over and over in my mind trying to think if there was anything I could've done to make a difference.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Okay, okay, so maybe that's the point. Here's your chance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Is it not wonderful?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They look up and see the museum worker morph into the Keeper]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Now you get the chance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Daniel look at the strange man as he beams at them. Daniel approaches him warily.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I beg&hellip;I beg your pardon?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The chance?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
The chance to relive your momentous event. To try the plethora of variations that have been weighing on your mind to finally see if you can make a difference.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel glances from him to the strange shrouded people and back to the Keeper.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Who are you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Why, I am the Keeper, of course.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The keeper of&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
The keeper of all that is, was and will be in this place.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, where exactly are we?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
I believe you call this the New York Museum of Art.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, no, where are we in reality?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Reality is in the eye of the beholder, is it not? <br/><br />
(To Daniel)<br/><br />
You have always wished to go back and do things differently. I have given you that opportunity. Now go, make things right in this place!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And how do I&hellip;how do I do that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Well, if I told you that it wouldn't be any fun, would it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He laughs]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Angrily)<br/><br />
Fun?!? That's&hellip;that's what you think this is for me? Fun? Watching this happen again and again?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He indicates the exhibit.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Smirking)<br/><br />
There would be no pleasure from the gain if there were no risk from the journey.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
(In the background)<br/><br />
All right, careful with that cover stone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel's attention is drawn back to the exhibit.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAKE<br/><br />
Yes, Doctor Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel once again sees his parents directing the placement of the cover stone. Carter watches Daniel compassionately as Daniel seemingly weighs his options. He looks back at the Keeper who smirks knowingly. The shrouded people gather closer. Decision made, Daniel stalks back up to his parents and looks right at his mother. Claire sees him and smiles warmly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CLAIRE<br/><br />
Danny&hellip;what are you doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Come on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel grabs each of his parents' wrists and pulls at them. They resist.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Dan&hellip;Danny Jackson! You stop this right now! <br/><br />
(To Jake)<br/><br />
Jake, Jake, give me a hand here, please.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jake puts an arm around Daniel's waist and pulls him out of the way while his parents resume their work under the cover stone.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Desperately crying out.)<br/><br />
No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Bring it in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CLAIRE<br/><br />
A bit more level.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Still held by Jake.)<br/><br />
No!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
A little more level, bring it in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The chain snaps, his parents scream as they are crushed again.] <br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Crying out a sob)<br/><br />
No! God, no.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Gritting his teeth, Daniel loosens himself from Jake's hold and storms back to confront the Keeper.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Damn you!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He grabs the Keeper by the lapels.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Stop this game now!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Whatever for? You haven't explored all your options yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, obviously my options are infinite and my solutions are zero, now stop it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Keeper merely looks at him, and Daniel sees that he has no intention of stopping it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(To the Keeper, quietly)<br/><br />
I won't play any more.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Ah, but you will. You will.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
(In the background)<br/><br />
All right, careful with that cover stone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks over towards the exhibit again, seeing his parents. He then turns back to the Keeper and lets the Keeper go from his grasp then walks away from the exhibit, stone-faced.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel, you want me to&hellip;?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Melburn and Claire continue their conversation in the background. The focus is on Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Let's bring it down. Just a look at the front. Bring it in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CLAIRE<br/><br />
It's swinging.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
(To Claire)<br/><br />
It's okay. It's fine. We'll be fine. <br/><br />
(To Jake)<br/><br />
Careful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(To Daniel)<br/><br />
You must try another alternative.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
You would allow your parents to suffer this awful death?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I won't play your game.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The chain snaps and his parents scream. Carter winces, but Daniel refuses to acknowledge the scenario playing out behind them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Irritably taking a deep breath)<br/><br />
You are indeed an obstinate race.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Turning away from Daniel, the Keeper uses a device on his wrist. A moment later, O'Neill and Teal'c appear in the Museum. O'Neill and Daniel walk towards each other. O'Neill shakes a finger at the Keeper.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Angrily)<br/><br />
You. <br/><br />
(To Carter and Daniel)<br/><br />
You guys all right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'm not really sure, to tell you the truth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
What is this place?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, it's the New York Museum of Art.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Actually, we think it's a simulation of the museum. I figure we're in some sort of virtual reality world created from our own minds, or at least Daniel's.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
You are a very stubborn, unimaginative and non-competitive race. Why do you refuse to enjoy the opportunities that I have given you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Incredulous)<br/><br />
Enjoy?! What makes you think I enjoy watching my friends get killed?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Or their parents die?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
You have both been given challenges to be met and conquered. You have it in you. Why will you not partake?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why will you not just let us go?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Excitedly)<br/><br />
Go where? Where would you like to go? I can take you anywhere you can remember, anywhere you can imagine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Okay, we want to go free.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So, we're right. This is a simulated world.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
It is a world completely inside your minds; channeled, coordinated, and administered by myself, the Keeper.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
But how? How does it work?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I don't care how it works. I just want outta here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
I cannot do that. The devices that enwrap you serve to nourish and stimulate your senses. The devices implanted in your brains channel experience and imagination into and out of your mind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So, we're trapped with our&hellip;our brains hooked up like computers to some sort of network?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Yes, and your minds are very valuable to my residents because you enrich and add value to our own.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, wait a minute, wait a minute. How long have your residents been in this virtual world?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Roughly one thousand of your years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, we're certainly not going to stick around for the next thousand of anyone's years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So, until we came along you've only had your own minds, your own experiences to provide scenarios for your virtual lives?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
You're beginning to understand.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So, so, wh&hellip;what, we're like&hellip;we're like new software?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Keeper nods as O'Neill looks at Daniel to explain.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(To O'Neill)<br/><br />
I mean, imagine if you were locked in a room for a thousand years with only a VCR, a TV and five movies. How long could you watch those five movies until you were bored silly? What you wouldn't give for just four more.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So you're using our minds, our memories, imaginations, dreams for&hellip;for some sort of programming?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Actually, I can remove information from only two of your minds. <br/><br />
(Regarding Teal'c)<br/><br />
This species' mind seems to protect against output, as does yours, madam. <br/><br />
(Regarding Carter.)</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It does?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps because of the change in your mind the Goa'uld, Jolinar of Malk-shur, left behind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
But fear not, there is no block against *input* into your minds. You two can enjoy our adventures and these two minds,<br/><br />
(referring to O'Neill and Daniel)<br/><br />
they provide more than enough rich experience and imagination to provide years of entertainment for my residents.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, I'm sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns to the people shrouded in black]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
With all due respect to you fine folks, I don't give a damn about residents. I just wanna get us out of here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
It is I that am sorry, for I am not able to accommodate your request. But I am sure you will be able to enjoy the many adventures that you will have here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Why are your people in here anyway? I mean, wh&hellip;why don't you just go out and get some new experiences of your own, *live* some new experiences?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
We cannot leave our chambers. The world outside is uninhabitable. It has been poisoned and desecrated.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You are mistaken. Your planet is a fertile garden world.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Nervously)<br/><br />
It is you who are mistaken, my alien friend. Our planet was destroyed by a chemical disaster one thousand and twenty-two years ago. We were victims of our own technology advancing faster than we could control it. At that time, the few of us who were left placed our physical bodies in suspended animation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Good news. Your planet seems to have regenerated itself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(To the residents, appalled.)<br/><br />
This is not true! I monitor all conditions at all times!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, then your monitoring systems are wrong. It is beautiful out there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(To the Keeper)<br/><br />
Of course you already knew that, didn't you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Keeper swings around to glare at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
The question is, why don't you want them to know?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He indicates the residents.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Residents must not leave the environment. <br/><br />
(Loudly, to the residents mostly)<br/><br />
The outside world is uninhabitable!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Who made you the warden here, huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
I do not understand.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Why are you the one running things here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Agitated)<br/><br />
The environment is my design. I am its creator, its Keeper.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So if your residents leave, you lose control. <br/><br />
(Turning to the residents)<br/><br />
That man is lying to you folks. <br/><br />
(The Keeper activates his wrist device again)<br/><br />
He's got you imprisoned in your own&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The residents are transported elsewhere, leaving the Keeper and SG-1 alone in the virtual museum.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Turns to glare at the Keeper)<br/><br />
Well, that's good. That's fair. Send them to where they can't hear the truth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Look, I will not allow you to poison their minds.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Um&hellip;<br/><br />
(Daniel walks over to join O'Neill)<br/><br />
&hellip;if you keep us here, you won't be able to prevent us from interacting with them for very long. I mean, especially if we're supposed to be&hellip;new software for them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Very well, you weren't wanted here anymore anyway.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Keeper activates his wrist device again.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DOMED STRUCTURE&mdash;STASIS CHAMBER AREA'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 awaken in their stasis chambers. The tubes are gone. They look around cautiously.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We're out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Whoa!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He jumps out of his chamber.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Wait. Didn't that seem just a little too easy?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes it did. Let's go home.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They step out of their stasis chambers.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN ENTRANCE'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 are each seated on exam tables being looked over by medical personnel. Hammond looks on as Fraiser is assessing O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
(Shining a penlight in his eyes.)<br/><br />
They all have small puncture wounds in their temples, spinal cords and several abdominal areas.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Meaning what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Well, looks like the machines you were describing were sustaining your lives; providing you with oxygen, feeding you, removing the waste and, from the sound of it, completely controlling your nervous system.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
But is there any permanent damage?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
No, not that I can see. Pupil dilation is bang on, reflexes are as they should be, everything seems fine to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond looks on grimly, as does O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1, Hammond and Fraiser are seated at the conference table, except Daniel who is walking back with a cup of coffee in his hand.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Jack, we should go back to the planet and free those people.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm not sure it's any of our business, frankly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel takes his seat next to O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I concur. Who are we to judge how someone on another planet lives?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
But the people are in those machines under false pretenses. The Keeper is lying to them about what's outside.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Okay, if, if I may weigh in here&hellip;all evidence points to the fact that the machines are clinically sustaining those people. Removing them could be like taking a patient off life support when he still needs it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Sounds to me like we have to get more information to make this decision, folks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The only way to gain more information would be to venture back into the artificial world of P7J-989.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Then that's exactly what I want you to do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Narrowing his eyes at the General, O'Neill sits forward in his seat.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Uhhhh&hellip;General. Without meaning, this time, to sound like a smart-ass, are you cracked?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(Chuckles)<br/><br />
Folks, I don't need to tell you how valuable a resource this planet could be for us. Their technology is far beyond our own&mdash;the kind of technology that justifies this entire program.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
General Hammond, going back into that world could be very hazardous.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I fail to see how. It's an artificial environment. Can you actually die in there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We don't know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm a little more concerned about being trapped there, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
You got out the last time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
There is no guarantee we will be able to extract ourselves again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Okay, I'll tell you what: if you don't come out in one week, I'll send in SG-2 to pull you out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel gives O'Neill a sideways glance.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Besides, what's so bad about being in there? It sounds to me like you can experience all sorts of fascinating things.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You mean, like watching old friends and&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Parents.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(nodding at Daniel)<br/><br />
&hellip;family getting killed over and over again?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(Optimistically)<br/><br />
Or seeing Major Kawalsky alive and well? Who knows, Colonel, maybe you could even see your son.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at him, then at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Dr. Jackson, perhaps you could visit the ancient worlds you've always wondered about.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel just gapes at him, disbelievingly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
You can go anywhere your memories or imaginations want to go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 exchange glances. O'Neill looks back at the General, an irritated knowing smirk playing out on his face.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Okay. That's enough.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He rises from his chair and goes over to the General and bends over him. He gently pulls the General's ear forward to peer behind it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Let's just have a little look here, shall we?</blockquote> <br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What are you doing, Colonel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, I'm looking for the edges of a mask!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You're obviously not the real General Hammond.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Sit down, Colonel!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I don't think so, bucko. The jig's up. We're on to ya.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What are you talking about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(To O'Neill, knowingly)<br/><br />
We're still on P7J-989.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, you betcha. This is just a new game brought to you by our good friend&hellip;<br/><br />
(Pats Hammond on the head)<br/><br />
&hellip;the Keeper.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(Stands up)<br/><br />
You are way out of line, Colonel!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
(Stands up)<br/><br />
You could be having a nervous reaction to the machines, we should get back to the infirmary and run some tests.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, you should get us out of these damn machines is what you should do!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[An SF approaches O'Neill from behind, locking and loading his weapon. Teal'c stands up in alarm.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Turns to the SF and challenges)<br/><br />
Oh, what!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Colonel, your insubordination is testing my patience. I will give you one final chance to follow my orders and rejoin the residents of the artificial world.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
'Residents.' <br/><br />
(Nodding, now sure of where they are)<br/><br />
That's what the Keeper called them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Daniel stand up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Are you going back in or not, Colonel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm already in!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Other SFs walk into the Briefing Room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(To SFs)<br/><br />
Place SG-1 under arrest and put them in isolation where they can speak to no one!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 are handcuffed and are escorted out of the Briefing Room as Hammond and Fraiser look on.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;VIRTUAL SGC BRIG&mdash;ISOLATION CELL'''<br />
<br />
[Two SFs guard the door from the inside. Teal'c and Carter are seated at a table. O'Neill is leaning against a bunk, where Daniel is lying on his stomach perched on the top bunk. His arms are folded and he is resting his chin on them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
O'Neill, you seem quite confident that we are not on Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Steps away from the bunk)<br/><br />
Because we're not. Did that sound like the real General Hammond to anyone?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He swings around, his arms outstretched.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is my understanding that we can only experience past events in this environment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Actually, the Keeper said we could experience anything that we remember or that we could imagine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We're still on PJ7-nine eight niner. It's a fake environment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KAWALSKY<br/><br />
(A few short steps, gazing at his feet.)<br/><br />
Is that really so bad?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel lifts his head, surprised to see Kawalsky, who only moments before was one of the SF guards. O'Neill turns to view his dead friend and teammate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KAWALSKY<br/><br />
I mean come on, haven't you people missed me at all? <br/><br />
(O'Neill regards him uncomfortably.)<br/><br />
Why are you resisting this? Think of all the fun we could have together. Doctor Jackson, you gotta admit, I used to make you laugh. Colonel, who else are you going to get to play street hockey with who can kick your butt the way I can? Captain Carter, think what it would be like to never grow old. Cuz you never do here, ya know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Who are you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KAWALSKY<br/><br />
Who am I? Colonel, are telling me you don't remember me? I'm hurt, I'm really hurt.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, no, I know who you're pretending to be. But who are you really? Are you the Keeper?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KAWALSKY<br/><br />
Nah, not me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Then what? Some kind of projection or&hellip;because you're not real. And if you're not real&hellip;you won't mind this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill punches Kawalsky in the jaw, while Teal'c hits the other guard. Once they are both down, SG-1 leave the cell. They take a few steps and as they turn the corner, the residents are waiting for them. SG-1 stop short.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Cautiously)<br/><br />
Hello.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Two of the residents remove their black veils.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RESIDENT #1<br/><br />
We have been looking for you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RESIDENT #2<br/><br />
Please, tell us what you began to tell us before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RESIDENT #1<br/><br />
About what it is like outside.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is in fact quite agreeable outside.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RESIDENT #2<br/><br />
The poison is gone?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RESIDENT #1<br/><br />
Everything is not dead?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, no. Quite the opposite. Everything is blooming.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RESIDENT #1<br/><br />
How can that be? The Keeper tells us it is dangerous.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, the&hellip;the Keeper lies.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RESIDENT #1<br/><br />
How can we trust these creatures above the Keeper who has cared for us for so long?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Tell ya what &mdash; come with us. We'll show you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The residents exchange nervous glances. Resident #1 nods at O'Neill. He nods in return, then moves through the throng of residents.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Excuse me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 lead the residents through the corridor. Daniel catches up to O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Where are we going?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Back through the Gate to show them what their planet looks like&hellip;<br/><br />
(Daniel looks at him curiously, and O'Neill does a double-take.)<br/><br />
&hellip;in our memories&hellip;<br/><br />
(Daniel still eyes him, smirking)<br/><br />
before the virtual reality&hellip;<br/><br />
(giving up)<br/><br />
Leave me alone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;VIRTUAL SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The Stargate kawooshes to life as the klaxons sound. SG-1 and the residents enter the Gate room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Unauthorized Stargate activation. Shutting down the Gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond's voice rings out over the intercom. The team see Hammond in the Control room manipulating the console controls. The Stargate disengages.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
SG-1, you are trying my patience!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill races out of the Gate room, followed by his team.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;VIRTUAL SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond stops playing with the computer console and runs off when he sees O'Neill climbing up the stairs to the control room. O'Neill runs after him with Daniel following.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Daniel, with me!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;VIRTUAL SGC CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond rounds a corner and morphs into the Keeper. Daniel and O'Neill continue after him. The Keeper goes through another door just as Teal'c and Carter exit into the hallway and rejoin O'Neill and Daniel. They go through the door after the Keeper. The door has P7J-989's point of origin on it. SG-1 slow down to a walking pace when they see at the end of the corridor is the gardened stasis chamber area under the domed structure. As they approach, they see the stasis chamber is the one holding O'Neill within its tentacles. O'Neill gazes at himself.]<br />
<br />
[The tubes detach from O'Neill's temples and he wakes. The rest of the team are also awake and are free of the chamber. Daniel looks around uncertainly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Do you think we're really out this time?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill spots the Keeper running toward a door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Keeper escapes through the door and SG-1 give chase.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P7J-989&mdash;OUTSIDE THE DOMED STRUCTURE'''<br />
<br />
[The team have chased the Keeper outside. Teal'c gets to him first and grasps his shoulders, forcing him to stop.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Fearful)<br/><br />
Please! Do not hurt me. I meant you no harm. Understand my people's existence has become stagnant. I wanted only good for them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How long have you been coming out to tend this garden?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(smirking briefly)<br/><br />
Lovely, is it not?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Irritated)<br/><br />
How. Long?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Oh, many, many years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Then why do you lie to your people? Why don't&hellip;why don't you give them the option to come out with you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Because it was our kind that damaged the planet in the first place. If I let them out, they will only hurt it again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You're kidding.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps your people will not make the same mistakes again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Snidely)<br/><br />
Yeah, you're big on giving people a second chance, aren't ya?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Indignant)<br/><br />
No one is preventing them from leaving. Portals such as the one you've used are everywhere within.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So, you mean we could've left anytime we wanted? All we had to do was go through one of those doors?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Anyone may leave at any time. Portals are always open.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Of course, people have to know they exist to use them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Contemptuously)<br/><br />
Which you have now shown them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And they have to know that there's somewhere to go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
And you have told them *that*. You have ruined everything, poisoned their minds. The damage is done.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 turn to see the residents filtering out of the domed structure. The Keeper looks annoyed, and O'Neill shrugs.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PLANET P7J- 989 STARGATE'''<br />
<br />
[A resident watches Daniel dial Earth. The Stargate opens. O'Neill joins Daniel at the DHD.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RESIDENT #1<br/><br />
(To O'Neill)<br/><br />
Again, we thank you. You have given us a whole new world of beauty and future experiences.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well you've still got a lot of work to do, but we'll send along some supplies to get you started.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Stalking between the group.)<br/><br />
They are ruining everything. <br/><br />
(He glares at O'Neill.)<br/><br />
Do you know they are actually picking the flowers?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He stalks off.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(To Daniel)<br/><br />
This is real this time, isn't it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Keeper utters noises of outrage, gasping at what the residents are doing in the garden.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(To residents)<br/><br />
Do not pull that!!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Residents are picking flowers.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
You are ruining the garden!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns and glowers at Daniel and O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
I told you they will ruin everything. First, the garden. Next, the entire planet!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Daniel look at each other and smile.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/DANIEL<br/><br />
(In unison)<br/><br />
It's real.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 turn and walk away. Daniel spares a glance back at the Keeper.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(To residents.)<br/><br />
You are ruining the garden!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Cheerfully)<br/><br />
'S go! <br/><br />
(Carter hands him his weapon.)<br/><br />
Thank you, ma'am.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The team head for the Stargate as the Keeper bites his fist, completely outraged.]<br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The klaxons sound as Hammond and SG1, geared up for a mission, view a MALP image of a domed structure on the computer screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PA SYSTEM<br/><br />
Chevron four encoded.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
This is video the MALP sent back from P7J-989.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FEMALE TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
Atmosphere, temperature and radioactivity levels are ideal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Teal'c, this structure familiar at all?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It does not appear to be of Goa'uld origin.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It looks pretty advanced.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's a possible a new source of information and technology, maybe even an ally against the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Well, it's worth a try, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;WORMHOLE TRAVEL SHOT'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PLANET P7J-989&mdash;STARGATE'''<br />
<br />
[The team step out into a green garden-like world and look around. Flowers are in abundance around them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, this is beautiful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, but where there's a garden, there's snakes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And flowers. Ah choo!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O’Neill, Carter and Teal’c start to walk off. Daniel follows.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Way too many flowers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PLANET P7J-989&mdash;DOMED STRUCTURE'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DOMED STRUCTURE'''<br />
<br />
[A door slides open and SG-1 enter the domed building, weapons drawn. There is tropical vegetation growing within, but it appears deserted. As the team make their way further, they notice people encased in chair-like apparatuses who appear to be in stasis. They are clothed in dark robes and shrouded in dark veils. Tubes extend from the 'chair' and are attached to their bodies.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I like what they've done with the place.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm not so sure I like what the place has done to them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 take a closer look at the people in the devices.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They're human.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
They are breathing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(referencing the chair-like devices)<br/><br />
All right, does anyone have any idea what these chambers might be?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Some kind of medical device maybe, suspended animation of some kind?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They continue to look around&mdash;they find four empty chambers.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, this is way past our science, whatever this is.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The tubes in the chambers reach out and grab SG-1, tentacle-like. They are each dragged into a chamber and after a struggle, tubes attach themselves to their temples. They fall asleep like the others on the planet.]<br />
<br />
'''END TEASER'''<br />

'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;VIRTUAL EARTH&mdash;EAST GERMANY 1982'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c are standing in an open area outside a dilapidated farmhouse or cottage. Daniel and Carter are not there. Both are dressed in older military fatigues, sporting black knit caps, and are carrying rifles. They look around at their surroundings, confused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
What is this place?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah, I dunno. I can't put my finger on it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(Looking around)<br/><br />
It appears to be Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. Teal'c, what the hell just happened to us?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We were exploring PJ7-989. We entered into a large domed facility and endured some form of bodily attack.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill raises his weapon as a truck pulls up. Teal'c does the same. The vehicle comes to a halt and two men dressed in military garb similar to O'Neill and Teal'c's exit the cab. One of the men is Kawalsky.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Weapon still raised, he is stunned at who he sees.)<br/><br />
Kawalsky? John?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
It's Colonel. You can lower your weapon, Captain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks from one man to the other, then he and Teal'c cautiously lower their rifles.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KAWALSKY<br/><br />
Why you acting so spooked, Jack?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Maybe because I am. You're both supposed to be dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kawalsky and Michaels look at each other and grin.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
That's real cute, Jack. Look, the intel on this one is good. They keep Boris here during the day and take him underground at night. Our bird confirmed on its last flyover: no snipers, it's only two guards inside. It's a piece of cake. This ain't the one that you and me die on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
As a matter of fact, this is the one you die on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Michaels and Kawalsky look hard at O'Neill then move to get their gear on. O'Neill turns to Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Quietly)<br/><br />
I went on this mission in 1982, East Germany. We were supposed to grab a Russian agent from that house down there. It all went bad.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
You ready to move out or not, Captain?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, no, because this isn't real. It can't be.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Oh it's real. It's very real. Your stalling here is putting the rest of this unit in jeopardy. Now, let's move out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No. Because I'm either dreaming or hallucinating.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Michaels punches O'Neill in the jaw.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Was that real enough for ya, Jack?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kawalsky looks on as he readies his weapon. O'Neill glances at Teal'c, then back at Michaels.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Nodding his head at Teal'c)<br/><br />
All right, how do you explain him? Does he look like a member of this team?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill pulls Teal'c's hat off. O'Neill stares, incredulous. Teal'c has hair and his gold tattoo is gone.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Thomas has been on this team longer that you have. Now, you get your head on straight, Captain. We are not aborting the mission this late, do you understand?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Michaels walks away. O'Neill hands Teal'c back his knit cap. He is confused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(To himself and/or Teal'c)<br/><br />
What the hell is this? What the hell's going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c takes a look at himself in the cottage window.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I am as perplexed as you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Teal'c, do you think&hellip;Is there a chance those machines we were sucked into were some kind of&hellip;I don't know&hellip;time machine or something?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is possible. The Goa'uld have experimented with time manipulation for years. Perhaps another race succeeded.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So, it's possible this is real?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You say this is a mission from your past that did not go well?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps someone has given you the opportunity to alter your history.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill thinks it over for a few seconds.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They rejoin Kawalsky and the team.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Let's move out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
It's about time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They move out, eventually arriving at their targeted location. The take up position outside the gated area of a large house, weapons drawn.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Whispers to Michaels)<br/><br />
Hold up. Let's not make the same mistake twice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
(Low voice)<br/><br />
What the hell are you talkin' about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Low voice)<br/><br />
Sniper on the roof.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Michaels uses his binoculars and spots the sniper. He gives orders using hand signals.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
(Low voice)<br/><br />
Nice catch, Jack.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The team's sharpshooter shoots down the sniper.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Let's go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The team continue to make their way slowly into the compound, using hand signals to communicate. Kawalsky crawls on his belly to his position behind a short stone wall, and on Michaels' signal, the team shoot tear gas into the house through the glass window. Michaels crawls over to O'Neill and Teal'c's position by the stone wall. He pulls on his gas mask and gets ready to move out. O'Neill appears to be dreading this.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Move now!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Michaels leaps over the wall, and the team follow him. While they hurry toward the house, the enemy rise up from behind a hedge at the side of the garden and begin shooting. Michaels is shot. With Teal'c providing cover fire, O'Neill goes to get John and pulls him to safety behind the protection of a trailer filled with rock. He tries to help his injured commander.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Desperate)<br/><br />
Come on, John.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill pulls Michaels' mask off. Michaels is bleeding from the mouth. O'Neill holds his friend's head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
So much for satellite recon. Jack, take care of Barbara for me, man?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Michaels gurgles briefly, then dies. O'Neill holds his friend for a moment, grimacing, then takes charge.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Fall back!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill joins the team as they all retreat, leaving Michaels where he died. Kawalsky is right behind them. Teal'c and O'Neill jump over the wall and duck down out of sight.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Looking around)<br/><br />
Where's Kawalsky?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
He was immediately behind us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly, a truck pulls up in front of them. O'Neill takes aim. Michaels and Kawalsky and the others step out of the truck just as they had done earlier. The three men regard O'Neill and Teal'c curiously.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Lower your weapon, Captain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Disconcertedly, O'Neill looks at the man who'd just died then glances back over the wall at the house where he'd left his body. Teal'c's expression is a mask of confusion.]<br />
<br />
'''FADE TO INT&mdash;VIRTUAL EARTH&mdash;NEW YORK MUSEUM OF ART C.1973'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel and Carter find themselves in a room full of Egyptian artifacts and are dressed in 70's period clothing. Both scan their surroundings, confused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay, what just happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm not sure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel fingers the ties on his Dashiki shirt, as they look around.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
This place looks familiar.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They wander around.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Realizing)<br/><br />
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. This is the New York Museum of Art. I've been here many times. Many times.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[An exhibition is being set up off-camera. A voice is heard giving orders.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Okay, careful with that cover stone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAKE<br/><br />
Yes, Doctor Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel sees what's happening and moves toward it. Carter looks at Daniel anxiously.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Incredulously)<br/><br />
No&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MUSEUM WORKER<br/><br />
(To Daniel)<br/><br />
I'm sorry. This area isn't open to the public.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel brushes her arm aside, but doesn't advance much further. Carter is by his side.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Be careful with that cover plate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A stone structure is being set up. Pillars have been positioned upright and a crane is lifting a large flat stone above the pillars. A man and woman are standing beneath it. The woman is clutching a set of blueprints, and the couple are directing the work being done.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CLAIRE<br/><br />
Jake, it's swinging a bit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Can you bring this thing on the left in a little more?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Gaping in disbelief, Daniel just stands and stares at the scene. Carter sees that Daniel recognizes something.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel, what's going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Ignoring her)<br/><br />
No, this can't be real.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
(Out of sight)<br />
Careful. Careful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Who are these people?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Brief flabbergasted pause.)<br/><br />
They're my parents.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[His parents are still standing underneath the cover stone, directing.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Move it towards the back, careful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CLAIRE<br/><br />
Watch it on your left.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
On your left. Jake, can we bring this in? Careful, bring it down. Let's look at the front.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The cover stone wobbles.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CLAIRE<br/><br />
It's swinging.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
(To Claire)<br/><br />
It's okay, it's fine, we'll be fine. <br/><br />
(To Jake) Careful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Distressed)<br/><br />
No!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CLAIRE<br/><br />
A bit more level, Jake.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Okay, Jake, let's bring it dow&mdash;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Desperately)<br/><br />
Get outta there, Mom! Get outta there, Dad!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The chain holding the cover stone suspended above them snaps. Screams are heard as the stone falls onto the pillars, knocking them over and crushing Daniel's parents beneath. Carter turns away from the sight. Daniel shuts his eyes and drops his head, then looks up again, gasping at what he'd just relived.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;VIRTUAL EARTH&mdash;EAST GERMANY'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill is positioned behind a tree. He moves to the next tree and ducks behind it. Teal'c follows.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Whispering to Teal'c)<br/><br />
This is too real, every detail, all the players are here. Why should I go through this again?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
If someone has used an advanced technology to send us here to repair your history&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You see, that's just it&mdash;it's history. It's over. It happened. I can't change it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Remaining here doing nothing will most certainly change nothing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Thinking this over.)<br/><br />
I&hellip;oh God. All right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They move out from their positions. The sniper on the roof is spotted and killed again. The signal is made for the tear gas to be fired again. Michaels returns to O'Neill's side and puts his gas mask on.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Colonel, we should check those hedges.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Negative. Stick to the plan, Captain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Off to the side, O'Neill notices people standing around. They are dressed like the people in the chambers in the domed structure. They are observing the events. O'Neill points them out to Teal'c, who sees them, too.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Move now!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The team move out and head for the house. However, O'Neill pulls Michaels down and behind the cover of the trailer with the stones.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Jack, what are you doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill rises up and shoots at the hedges, where the gunmen were before.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
That is not part of the plan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Michaels runs out and heads for the house.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
John!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The enemy rise up from the behind the roofline of the house and open fire. Michaels is shot. Teal'c again provides cover while O'Neill goes back to retrieve Michaels, dragging him back behind the trailer. As before, he removes Michaels' gasmask.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Come on, John.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
So much for satellite recon. Jack, take care of Barbara for me, man?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As before, he gurgles and dies.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Under his breath)<br/><br />
Oh God. <br/><br />
(To the team)<br/><br />
Fall back!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c retreat to their earlier position over the wall, as the people in black look on. A vehicle pulling up draws O'Neill's attention, and he and Teal'c take aim. It's the same truck carrying Michaels and Kawalsky and the rest of the squad again. They exit the vehicle as before.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
Lower your weapon, Captain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What the hell is going on here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
What is with you, Jack? Operation East Fly is go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He grabs Michaels by the jacket and holds his gun up to him]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You! Who are you and who are those people?<br/><br />
(Referring to the people in black.)</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
There's no one here but us! What are you looking for a Section 8, Jack?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A man dressed in decorative robes and headdress appears from behind the truck.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
You must stop arguing and proceed with the mission.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He smirks at their questioning looks.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Allow me to introduce myself, I am the Keeper.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Puzzled)<br/><br />
The keeper of what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
The keeper of all that is around you, of all that is and all that might be.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill studies Michaels for a moment, then lets him go and lowers his weapon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Why do you wish us to proceed with this mission?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(To O'Neill)<br/><br />
Because it is that which *you* have always wanted.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You've got to be kidding me. This was the most blown operation I've ever been involved with. What makes you think I want to watch my friends be killed over and over again?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
You have always wished to do it again in order to do it differently.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
We're going with or without you, Jack.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
See ya.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MICHAELS<br/><br />
(Irritably)<br/><br />
All right. Have it your way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
You must go with them. It's the only way to evince the change that you have desired for so many years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I can't change the outcome if you keep changing the rules.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Do you not wish to save the lives of your friends and comrades?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
If they were real!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
But there are so many fantastic variations that you could try.<br/><br />
(Enticingly)<br/><br />
Perhaps this time you could try a different route?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at the Keeper, then looks around at the people.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Eyes back on the Keeper)<br/><br />
Sit down, Teal'c. We're not playing this game.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill brushes past the other man.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Rolling his eyes)<br/><br />
Very well. Have it your way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Keeper moves away, while O'Neill and Teal'c stand by the stone wall bordering the field. They lean leisurely, but uneasily, against the wall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I hope by doing nothing we are taking the correct action, O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill nods as guns open fire in the background.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Grimly)<br/><br />
So do I.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;VIRTUAL EARTH&mdash;NEW YORK MUSEUM OF ART'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is composing himself as he leans against a display case in the museum. Carter is standing by him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel, I'm so sorry you had to go through that again. I've been thinking, we were pulled into those things, those machines, right? At first, when we got here, I thought maybe they were some sort of time dilation machines&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(sighing)<br/><br />
Oh Sam, please just&hellip;just tell me that this isn't real.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, I don't think it is. It isn't consistent with any of the logical theories of time travel. For example, you should be seeing yourself here as a child or become a child again. Daniel, I'm guessing here, but I think we're in some sort of advanced re-creation being pumped into our minds by those machines.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[In the background, voices are heard again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Okay, careful with that cover stone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel stands quickly in alarm and moves to view the exhibit area. Carter is right there with him. The Jacksons are back under the cover stone directing the set up. They are alive and well. Carter watches Daniel with concern, then Daniel steps forward to the exhibit area.] <blockquote>MUSEUM WORKER<br/><br />
I'm sorry. This area isn't open to the public.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Again, Daniel ignores her and goes up to his parents.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(Calling after him)<br/><br />
Daniel, I don't think we're actually here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CLAIRE<br/><br />
Jake, it's swinging a bit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(To himself)<br/><br />
No&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks around and sees the people shrouded in black standing amidst the displays observing the events.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(To his parents)<br/><br />
Excuse me. <br/><br />
(Claire and Melburn look up at him from their schematics.)<br/><br />
Listen to me. Um, you have to come out of there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Danny, go back outside.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Claire keeps a wary eye on the cover stone, while Melburn looks back at the schematics.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(To himself, a memory is evoked)<br/><br />
Danny&hellip;<br/><br />
(To his parents)<br/><br />
No, look, look, you have to come out right now, because I&hellip;<br/><br />
(Claire looks at him frowning indulgently)<br/><br />
&hellip;because I&hellip;I hurt myself. I hurt myself badly. I think I might have broken my leg. Now, you have to come out right now and take care of me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CLAIRE<br/><br />
You couldn't have hurt your leg too badly, dear. You're walking on it, okay? We'll be out in a minute, okay, Sweetie?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
(To Jake)<br/><br />
Okay, Jake.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[His parents are too consumed in the set up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Backing away frustrated)<br/><br />
No&hellip;No&hellip;!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The chain snaps and the cover stone falls again. His parents scream and Melburn grabs Claire around the waist trying to yank her out of the way, but the pillars and stone topple and engulf them. Daniel shuts his eyes and Carter turns away, while the workers start scrambling in the background to free Daniel's parents. Carter looks back and sees that the mysterious people are still standing around watching.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAKE<br/><br />
Help me with this. Help me with this. Dr. Jackson! Dr. Jackson, can you hear me? I can't see anything. Here, help me with this. Lift it! Lift it! It's too heavy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Stunned, Daniel turns and walks mutely away from the scene, desperately trying to keep his emotions in check. Carter rushes up to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel, correct me if I'm wrong but I'll bet when this really happened, you didn't have this audience.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She indicates the people in black. Daniel looks up from his grief and sees what Carter is seeing.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I think that we must be in some sort of really advanced simulation, like a&hellip;a virtual reality. It's the only thing I can think of that could explain all this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(sardonically)<br/><br />
Oh super. So it takes one of the most tragic moments in my life and plays it over and over again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, maybe that's your strongest memory.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
He called me 'Danny' like I'm&hellip;like I'm still a little kid.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's probably because that's how old you were when this happened. You have taken on the role of Daniel Jackson as a child in this simulation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You know, I used to replay this over and over in my mind trying to think if there was anything I could've done to make a difference.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Okay, okay, so maybe that's the point. Here's your chance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Is it not wonderful?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They look up and see the museum worker morph into the Keeper]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Now you get the chance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Daniel look at the strange man as he beams at them. Daniel approaches him warily.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I beg&hellip;I beg your pardon?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The chance?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
The chance to relive your momentous event. To try the plethora of variations that have been weighing on your mind to finally see if you can make a difference.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel glances from him to the strange shrouded people and back to the Keeper.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Who are you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Why, I am the Keeper, of course.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The keeper of&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
The keeper of all that is, was and will be in this place.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, where exactly are we?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
I believe you call this the New York Museum of Art.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, no, where are we in reality?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Reality is in the eye of the beholder, is it not? <br/><br />
(To Daniel)<br/><br />
You have always wished to go back and do things differently. I have given you that opportunity. Now go, make things right in this place!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And how do I&hellip;how do I do that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Well, if I told you that it wouldn't be any fun, would it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He laughs]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Angrily)<br/><br />
Fun?!? That's&hellip;that's what you think this is for me? Fun? Watching this happen again and again?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He indicates the exhibit.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Smirking)<br/><br />
There would be no pleasure from the gain if there were no risk from the journey.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
(In the background)<br/><br />
All right, careful with that cover stone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel's attention is drawn back to the exhibit.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAKE<br/><br />
Yes, Doctor Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel once again sees his parents directing the placement of the cover stone. Carter watches Daniel compassionately as Daniel seemingly weighs his options. He looks back at the Keeper who smirks knowingly. The shrouded people gather closer. Decision made, Daniel stalks back up to his parents and looks right at his mother. Claire sees him and smiles warmly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CLAIRE<br/><br />
Danny&hellip;what are you doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Come on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel grabs each of his parents' wrists and pulls at them. They resist.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Dan&hellip;Danny Jackson! You stop this right now! <br/><br />
(To Jake)<br/><br />
Jake, Jake, give me a hand here, please.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jake puts an arm around Daniel's waist and pulls him out of the way while his parents resume their work under the cover stone.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Desperately crying out.)<br/><br />
No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Bring it in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CLAIRE<br/><br />
A bit more level.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Still held by Jake.)<br/><br />
No!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
A little more level, bring it in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The chain snaps, his parents scream as they are crushed again.] <br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(Crying out a sob)<br/><br />
No! God, no.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Gritting his teeth, Daniel loosens himself from Jake's hold and storms back to confront the Keeper.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Damn you!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He grabs the Keeper by the lapels.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Stop this game now!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Whatever for? You haven't explored all your options yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, obviously my options are infinite and my solutions are zero, now stop it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Keeper merely looks at him, and Daniel sees that he has no intention of stopping it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(To the Keeper, quietly)<br/><br />
I won't play any more.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Ah, but you will. You will.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
(In the background)<br/><br />
All right, careful with that cover stone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks over towards the exhibit again, seeing his parents. He then turns back to the Keeper and lets the Keeper go from his grasp then walks away from the exhibit, stone-faced.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel, you want me to&hellip;?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Melburn and Claire continue their conversation in the background. The focus is on Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
Let's bring it down. Just a look at the front. Bring it in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CLAIRE<br/><br />
It's swinging.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MELBURN<br/><br />
(To Claire)<br/><br />
It's okay. It's fine. We'll be fine. <br/><br />
(To Jake)<br/><br />
Careful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(To Daniel)<br/><br />
You must try another alternative.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
You would allow your parents to suffer this awful death?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I won't play your game.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The chain snaps and his parents scream. Carter winces, but Daniel refuses to acknowledge the scenario playing out behind them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Irritably taking a deep breath)<br/><br />
You are indeed an obstinate race.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Turning away from Daniel, the Keeper uses a device on his wrist. A moment later, O'Neill and Teal'c appear in the Museum. O'Neill and Daniel walk towards each other. O'Neill shakes a finger at the Keeper.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Angrily)<br/><br />
You. <br/><br />
(To Carter and Daniel)<br/><br />
You guys all right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'm not really sure, to tell you the truth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
What is this place?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, it's the New York Museum of Art.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Actually, we think it's a simulation of the museum. I figure we're in some sort of virtual reality world created from our own minds, or at least Daniel's.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
You are a very stubborn, unimaginative and non-competitive race. Why do you refuse to enjoy the opportunities that I have given you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Incredulous)<br/><br />
Enjoy?! What makes you think I enjoy watching my friends get killed?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Or their parents die?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
You have both been given challenges to be met and conquered. You have it in you. Why will you not partake?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why will you not just let us go?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Excitedly)<br/><br />
Go where? Where would you like to go? I can take you anywhere you can remember, anywhere you can imagine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Okay, we want to go free.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So, we're right. This is a simulated world.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
It is a world completely inside your minds; channeled, coordinated, and administered by myself, the Keeper.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
But how? How does it work?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I don't care how it works. I just want outta here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
I cannot do that. The devices that enwrap you serve to nourish and stimulate your senses. The devices implanted in your brains channel experience and imagination into and out of your mind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So, we're trapped with our&hellip;our brains hooked up like computers to some sort of network?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Yes, and your minds are very valuable to my residents because you enrich and add value to our own.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, wait a minute, wait a minute. How long have your residents been in this virtual world?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Roughly one thousand of your years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, we're certainly not going to stick around for the next thousand of anyone's years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So, until we came along you've only had your own minds, your own experiences to provide scenarios for your virtual lives?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
You're beginning to understand.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So, so, wh&hellip;what, we're like&hellip;we're like new software?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Keeper nods as O'Neill looks at Daniel to explain.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(To O'Neill)<br/><br />
I mean, imagine if you were locked in a room for a thousand years with only a VCR, a TV and five movies. How long could you watch those five movies until you were bored silly? What you wouldn't give for just four more.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So you're using our minds, our memories, imaginations, dreams for&hellip;for some sort of programming?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Actually, I can remove information from only two of your minds. <br/><br />
(Regarding Teal'c)<br/><br />
This species' mind seems to protect against output, as does yours, madam. <br/><br />
(Regarding Carter.)</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It does?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps because of the change in your mind the Goa'uld, Jolinar of Malk-shur, left behind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
But fear not, there is no block against *input* into your minds. You two can enjoy our adventures and these two minds,<br/><br />
(referring to O'Neill and Daniel)<br/><br />
they provide more than enough rich experience and imagination to provide years of entertainment for my residents.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, I'm sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns to the people shrouded in black]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
With all due respect to you fine folks, I don't give a damn about residents. I just wanna get us out of here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
It is I that am sorry, for I am not able to accommodate your request. But I am sure you will be able to enjoy the many adventures that you will have here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Why are your people in here anyway? I mean, wh&hellip;why don't you just go out and get some new experiences of your own, *live* some new experiences?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
We cannot leave our chambers. The world outside is uninhabitable. It has been poisoned and desecrated.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You are mistaken. Your planet is a fertile garden world.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Nervously)<br/><br />
It is you who are mistaken, my alien friend. Our planet was destroyed by a chemical disaster one thousand and twenty-two years ago. We were victims of our own technology advancing faster than we could control it. At that time, the few of us who were left placed our physical bodies in suspended animation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Good news. Your planet seems to have regenerated itself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(To the residents, appalled.)<br/><br />
This is not true! I monitor all conditions at all times!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, then your monitoring systems are wrong. It is beautiful out there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(To the Keeper)<br/><br />
Of course you already knew that, didn't you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Keeper swings around to glare at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
The question is, why don't you want them to know?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He indicates the residents.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Residents must not leave the environment. <br/><br />
(Loudly, to the residents mostly)<br/><br />
The outside world is uninhabitable!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Who made you the warden here, huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
I do not understand.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Why are you the one running things here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Agitated)<br/><br />
The environment is my design. I am its creator, its Keeper.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So if your residents leave, you lose control. <br/><br />
(Turning to the residents)<br/><br />
That man is lying to you folks. <br/><br />
(The Keeper activates his wrist device again)<br/><br />
He's got you imprisoned in your own&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The residents are transported elsewhere, leaving the Keeper and SG-1 alone in the virtual museum.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Turns to glare at the Keeper)<br/><br />
Well, that's good. That's fair. Send them to where they can't hear the truth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Look, I will not allow you to poison their minds.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Um&hellip;<br/><br />
(Daniel walks over to join O'Neill)<br/><br />
&hellip;if you keep us here, you won't be able to prevent us from interacting with them for very long. I mean, especially if we're supposed to be&hellip;new software for them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Very well, you weren't wanted here anymore anyway.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Keeper activates his wrist device again.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;DOMED STRUCTURE&mdash;STASIS CHAMBER AREA'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 awaken in their stasis chambers. The tubes are gone. They look around cautiously.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We're out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Whoa!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He jumps out of his chamber.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Wait. Didn't that seem just a little too easy?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes it did. Let's go home.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They step out of their stasis chambers.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN ENTRANCE'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 are each seated on exam tables being looked over by medical personnel. Hammond looks on as Fraiser is assessing O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
(Shining a penlight in his eyes.)<br/><br />
They all have small puncture wounds in their temples, spinal cords and several abdominal areas.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Meaning what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Well, looks like the machines you were describing were sustaining your lives; providing you with oxygen, feeding you, removing the waste and, from the sound of it, completely controlling your nervous system.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
But is there any permanent damage?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
No, not that I can see. Pupil dilation is bang on, reflexes are as they should be, everything seems fine to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond looks on grimly, as does O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1, Hammond and Fraiser are seated at the conference table, except Daniel who is walking back with a cup of coffee in his hand.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Jack, we should go back to the planet and free those people.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm not sure it's any of our business, frankly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel takes his seat next to O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I concur. Who are we to judge how someone on another planet lives?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
But the people are in those machines under false pretenses. The Keeper is lying to them about what's outside.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Okay, if, if I may weigh in here&hellip;all evidence points to the fact that the machines are clinically sustaining those people. Removing them could be like taking a patient off life support when he still needs it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Sounds to me like we have to get more information to make this decision, folks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The only way to gain more information would be to venture back into the artificial world of P7J-989.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Then that's exactly what I want you to do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Narrowing his eyes at the General, O'Neill sits forward in his seat.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Uhhhh&hellip;General. Without meaning, this time, to sound like a smart-ass, are you cracked?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(Chuckles)<br/><br />
Folks, I don't need to tell you how valuable a resource this planet could be for us. Their technology is far beyond our own&mdash;the kind of technology that justifies this entire program.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
General Hammond, going back into that world could be very hazardous.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I fail to see how. It's an artificial environment. Can you actually die in there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We don't know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm a little more concerned about being trapped there, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
You got out the last time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
There is no guarantee we will be able to extract ourselves again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Okay, I'll tell you what: if you don't come out in one week, I'll send in SG-2 to pull you out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel gives O'Neill a sideways glance.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Besides, what's so bad about being in there? It sounds to me like you can experience all sorts of fascinating things.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You mean, like watching old friends and&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Parents.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(nodding at Daniel)<br/><br />
&hellip;family getting killed over and over again?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(Optimistically)<br/><br />
Or seeing Major Kawalsky alive and well? Who knows, Colonel, maybe you could even see your son.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at him, then at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Dr. Jackson, perhaps you could visit the ancient worlds you've always wondered about.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel just gapes at him, disbelievingly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
You can go anywhere your memories or imaginations want to go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 exchange glances. O'Neill looks back at the General, an irritated knowing smirk playing out on his face.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Okay. That's enough.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He rises from his chair and goes over to the General and bends over him. He gently pulls the General's ear forward to peer behind it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Let's just have a little look here, shall we?</blockquote> <br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What are you doing, Colonel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, I'm looking for the edges of a mask!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You're obviously not the real General Hammond.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Sit down, Colonel!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I don't think so, bucko. The jig's up. We're on to ya.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What are you talking about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(To O'Neill, knowingly)<br/><br />
We're still on P7J-989.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, you betcha. This is just a new game brought to you by our good friend&hellip;<br/><br />
(Pats Hammond on the head)<br/><br />
&hellip;the Keeper.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(Stands up)<br/><br />
You are way out of line, Colonel!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
(Stands up)<br/><br />
You could be having a nervous reaction to the machines, we should get back to the infirmary and run some tests.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, you should get us out of these damn machines is what you should do!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[An SF approaches O'Neill from behind, locking and loading his weapon. Teal'c stands up in alarm.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Turns to the SF and challenges)<br/><br />
Oh, what!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Colonel, your insubordination is testing my patience. I will give you one final chance to follow my orders and rejoin the residents of the artificial world.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
'Residents.' <br/><br />
(Nodding, now sure of where they are)<br/><br />
That's what the Keeper called them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Daniel stand up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Are you going back in or not, Colonel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm already in!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Other SFs walk into the Briefing Room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(To SFs)<br/><br />
Place SG-1 under arrest and put them in isolation where they can speak to no one!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 are handcuffed and are escorted out of the Briefing Room as Hammond and Fraiser look on.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;VIRTUAL SGC BRIG&mdash;ISOLATION CELL'''<br />
<br />
[Two SFs guard the door from the inside. Teal'c and Carter are seated at a table. O'Neill is leaning against a bunk, where Daniel is lying on his stomach perched on the top bunk. His arms are folded and he is resting his chin on them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
O'Neill, you seem quite confident that we are not on Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Steps away from the bunk)<br/><br />
Because we're not. Did that sound like the real General Hammond to anyone?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He swings around, his arms outstretched.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is my understanding that we can only experience past events in this environment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Actually, the Keeper said we could experience anything that we remember or that we could imagine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We're still on PJ7-nine eight niner. It's a fake environment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KAWALSKY<br/><br />
(A few short steps, gazing at his feet.)<br/><br />
Is that really so bad?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel lifts his head, surprised to see Kawalsky, who only moments before was one of the SF guards. O'Neill turns to view his dead friend and teammate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KAWALSKY<br/><br />
I mean come on, haven't you people missed me at all? <br/><br />
(O'Neill regards him uncomfortably.)<br/><br />
Why are you resisting this? Think of all the fun we could have together. Doctor Jackson, you gotta admit, I used to make you laugh. Colonel, who else are you going to get to play street hockey with who can kick your butt the way I can? Captain Carter, think what it would be like to never grow old. Cuz you never do here, ya know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Who are you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KAWALSKY<br/><br />
Who am I? Colonel, are telling me you don't remember me? I'm hurt, I'm really hurt.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, no, I know who you're pretending to be. But who are you really? Are you the Keeper?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KAWALSKY<br/><br />
Nah, not me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Then what? Some kind of projection or&hellip;because you're not real. And if you're not real&hellip;you won't mind this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill punches Kawalsky in the jaw, while Teal'c hits the other guard. Once they are both down, SG-1 leave the cell. They take a few steps and as they turn the corner, the residents are waiting for them. SG-1 stop short.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Cautiously)<br/><br />
Hello.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Two of the residents remove their black veils.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RESIDENT #1<br/><br />
We have been looking for you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RESIDENT #2<br/><br />
Please, tell us what you began to tell us before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RESIDENT #1<br/><br />
About what it is like outside.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is in fact quite agreeable outside.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RESIDENT #2<br/><br />
The poison is gone?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RESIDENT #1<br/><br />
Everything is not dead?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, no. Quite the opposite. Everything is blooming.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RESIDENT #1<br/><br />
How can that be? The Keeper tells us it is dangerous.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, the&hellip;the Keeper lies.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RESIDENT #1<br/><br />
How can we trust these creatures above the Keeper who has cared for us for so long?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Tell ya what &mdash; come with us. We'll show you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The residents exchange nervous glances. Resident #1 nods at O'Neill. He nods in return, then moves through the throng of residents.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Excuse me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 lead the residents through the corridor. Daniel catches up to O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Where are we going?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Back through the Gate to show them what their planet looks like&hellip;<br/><br />
(Daniel looks at him curiously, and O'Neill does a double-take.)<br/><br />
&hellip;in our memories&hellip;<br/><br />
(Daniel still eyes him, smirking)<br/><br />
before the virtual reality&hellip;<br/><br />
(giving up)<br/><br />
Leave me alone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;VIRTUAL SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The Stargate kawooshes to life as the klaxons sound. SG-1 and the residents enter the Gate room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Unauthorized Stargate activation. Shutting down the Gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond's voice rings out over the intercom. The team see Hammond in the Control room manipulating the console controls. The Stargate disengages.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
SG-1, you are trying my patience!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill races out of the Gate room, followed by his team.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;VIRTUAL SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond stops playing with the computer console and runs off when he sees O'Neill climbing up the stairs to the control room. O'Neill runs after him with Daniel following.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Daniel, with me!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;VIRTUAL SGC CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond rounds a corner and morphs into the Keeper. Daniel and O'Neill continue after him. The Keeper goes through another door just as Teal'c and Carter exit into the hallway and rejoin O'Neill and Daniel. They go through the door after the Keeper. The door has P7J-989's point of origin on it. SG-1 slow down to a walking pace when they see at the end of the corridor is the gardened stasis chamber area under the domed structure. As they approach, they see the stasis chamber is the one holding O'Neill within its tentacles. O'Neill gazes at himself.]<br />
<br />
[The tubes detach from O'Neill's temples and he wakes. The rest of the team are also awake and are free of the chamber. Daniel looks around uncertainly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Do you think we're really out this time?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill spots the Keeper running toward a door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Keeper escapes through the door and SG-1 give chase.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P7J-989&mdash;OUTSIDE THE DOMED STRUCTURE'''<br />
<br />
[The team have chased the Keeper outside. Teal'c gets to him first and grasps his shoulders, forcing him to stop.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Fearful)<br/><br />
Please! Do not hurt me. I meant you no harm. Understand my people's existence has become stagnant. I wanted only good for them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How long have you been coming out to tend this garden?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(smirking briefly)<br/><br />
Lovely, is it not?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Irritated)<br/><br />
How. Long?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Oh, many, many years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Then why do you lie to your people? Why don't&hellip;why don't you give them the option to come out with you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Because it was our kind that damaged the planet in the first place. If I let them out, they will only hurt it again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You're kidding.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps your people will not make the same mistakes again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Snidely)<br/><br />
Yeah, you're big on giving people a second chance, aren't ya?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Indignant)<br/><br />
No one is preventing them from leaving. Portals such as the one you've used are everywhere within.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So, you mean we could've left anytime we wanted? All we had to do was go through one of those doors?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
Anyone may leave at any time. Portals are always open.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Of course, people have to know they exist to use them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Contemptuously)<br/><br />
Which you have now shown them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And they have to know that there's somewhere to go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
And you have told them *that*. You have ruined everything, poisoned their minds. The damage is done.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 turn to see the residents filtering out of the domed structure. The Keeper looks annoyed, and O'Neill shrugs.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PLANET P7J- 989 STARGATE'''<br />
<br />
[A resident watches Daniel dial Earth. The Stargate opens. O'Neill joins Daniel at the DHD.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RESIDENT #1<br/><br />
(To O'Neill)<br/><br />
Again, we thank you. You have given us a whole new world of beauty and future experiences.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well you've still got a lot of work to do, but we'll send along some supplies to get you started.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(Stalking between the group.)<br/><br />
They are ruining everything. <br/><br />
(He glares at O'Neill.)<br/><br />
Do you know they are actually picking the flowers?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He stalks off.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(To Daniel)<br/><br />
This is real this time, isn't it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Keeper utters noises of outrage, gasping at what the residents are doing in the garden.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(To residents)<br/><br />
Do not pull that!!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Residents are picking flowers.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
You are ruining the garden!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns and glowers at Daniel and O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
I told you they will ruin everything. First, the garden. Next, the entire planet!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Daniel look at each other and smile.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/DANIEL<br/><br />
(In unison)<br/><br />
It's real.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 turn and walk away. Daniel spares a glance back at the Keeper.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE KEEPER<br/><br />
(To residents.)<br/><br />
You are ruining the garden!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Cheerfully)<br/><br />
'S go! <br/><br />
(Carter hands him his weapon.)<br/><br />
Thank you, ma'am.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The team head for the Stargate as the Keeper bites his fist, completely outraged.]<br />
<br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''FADE IN'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[General George Hammond is standing before a podium at the top of the Gate ramp, addressing a roomful of SGC personnel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
You have fought with valour and courage, sacrificed for each other, for this country, for this planet. To honour the men and women of the SGC, I present Arthur Simms, the Secretary of Defense for the United States of America.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Simms takes the stand.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMS<br/><br />
Since the reinception of this program, I have eagerly awaited every word of every mission report stemming from this base like a wide-eyed child waiting for his next bedtime story. Not actually being here, or seeing your faces, or this Stargate here behind me, it is sometimes easy to forget that it's all really happening. The President regrets not being able to be here, but I'm glad because it gives me the opportunity to congratulate you on your recent effort in defeating a formidable enemy and rescuing SG-1 captured in the line of duty. You risk your lives every day in a way more dangerous and fantastic than any of us could have ever dreamed. Understand that I represent every person of this great nation when I salute your ongoing heroic spirit. You should be proud.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond retakes the stand as Simms step down.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Before we finish today, I have one other small bit of business. Please come to attention.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The SGC personnel present stand to attention.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(reading from a piece of paper)<br/><br />
From the Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force. In recognition of Captain Samantha Carter's outstanding work, I hereby authorise her immediate promotion to the rank of Major. Captain, step forward.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As a surprised Carter steps forward, the room breaks into applause. Both General Hammond and O'Neill start to pin onto her uniform the bars of major.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(to Carter)<br/><br />
The United States Air Force has recognised that you have fulfilled tasks and duties well beyond the responsibility of Captain. It is with great pleasure that I bestow upon you the responsibilities, the respect and the rank of Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond shakes Carter’s hand, and they salute each other.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Thank you, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well done&hellip;Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and O’Neill shake hands and salute. Smiling, Carter returns to her place with the rest of SG1 amid more applause.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
In closing, Major Carter's supervisor, Colonel Jack O'Neill, would like to say a few words.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill takes the stand, to more applause.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Normally, I'm a man of very few words&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He abruptly disappears in a flash of light. The assembled personnel look around in surprise and confusion.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Code 9!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Alarms sound as security personnel run to take up position.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ASGARD SHIP IN ORBIT ABOVE EARTH '''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And in conclusion, I'd like to say&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He stops as he realises he is no longer in the SGC and begins to look around. There is another flash of light and an Asgard appears in a chair opposite.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASGARD<br/><br />
Greetings, Jack O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Greetings. Have we met?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASGARD<br/><br />
I am Thor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''END OF TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ASGARD SHIP'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
I apologise for taking you by surprise, but I have come on a matter of great importance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We're in orbit around Earth, right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You know, we have satellites, telescopes. They can see things like spaceships.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Our ships have never been detected in orbit around Earth before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh. All right. Sorry, you were saying something? A matter of great importance&hellip;?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
We received word of what transpired with your people and the Goa'uld named Hathor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
She had it coming.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
As a result, the Goa'uld System Lords have turned their attention towards you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What, for killing Hathor? They should be thanking us. She was planning to overthrow them you know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Her intentions are irrelevant. Earth has once again proven it can be a formidable threat to the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, now we're a threat to them?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
They have decided it is a concern to be dealt with. The System Lords are capable of launching an assault one hundred times more powerful than that which you previously withstood at the hands of Apophis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Okay, that could be a problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
The Asgard agree. I have come to offer our assistance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Now see, that would be appreciated. I've seen your work&hellip;it's great.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
The vast majority of the Asgard fleet is currently unavailable.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh. So what do you have in mind?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
With your permission, the Asgard will attempt to negotiate with the Goa'uld System Lords to include Earth in the Protected Planets Treaty.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's a good thing, right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
It would prevent this attack.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Good. Um, to be honest with you, I'd rather have a fleet of your ships here. A few of these babies and we could just&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He stops as Thor gives him a curious look.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We could try the negotiating thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
I will contact the System Lords. You may return to your planet now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Thor disappears in a flash of light, but O'Neill is left behind.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Excuse me! I assume someone's going to show me the way back.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Why would the Goa'uld agree to this negotiation?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The Goa'uld fear the Asgard.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Plus I assume the Asgard would offer the Goa'uld something in return. I mean, that's generally the way negotiations work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Well what if the summit fails?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Thor said that was pretty much the only option he could offer. If it fails&hellip;total annihilation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
The President is wondering how confident we are in trusting the Asgard.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The Tok'ra trust them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They helped Jack out when he got the Ancients' language downloaded into his brain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You got to love them for that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
But we know very little about the politics out there. How do we know the Asgard truly have our best interests at heart?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, I suppose we don't. But if they have any other agenda in mind&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He is cut off as a bright light appears in the room and Thor materialises.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Colonel, do we need security?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, I'll vouch for him, sir. Major Samantha Carter, Doctor Daniel Jackson, you remember Thor? Uh, Thor, this is Teal'c and Major General George Hammond. He's the leader of our facility here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
The System Lords have agreed to negotiate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's good news.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
They will arrive in four days.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(surprised)<br/><br />
Here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
It is customary for such negotiations to take place on the planet in question. Three representatives from the System Lords will arrive by Stargate. You must be prepared to speak on behalf of all the inhabitants of Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Uh, well maybe not me personally&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
We have chosen you, O'Neill, to represent your planet at the proceedings.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right, now see, that could be a mistake. You see, Doctor Jackson here is an extremely educated and articulated man, very well versed in all the languages&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
You have led your people into the galaxy through the Stargate. You are our choice, O'Neill. Further instructions to aid you in preparation will follow.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Thor disappears.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, there you go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is lecturing the people present on the three Goa'ulds they are expecting. An ancient Greek image of Kronos is highlighted on the projector screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Kronos was among the earliest Greek gods, one of twelve Titans who eventually ascended to supreme domination. He was God of Fate and eventually became father to Zeus, Hera, Poseidon and Hades. Now this last relationship may indicate a connection to the Goa'uld Sokar.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Kronos is the most influential of the System Lords. It was he who originally banished Sokar. Kronos was also a mortal enemy of Apophis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Which may indicate why the System Lords didn't join in Apophis' attack on Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The System Lords reluctantly banded together to defend Goa'uld territory against outside threats such as the Asgard and the Reetou. However, they still battle amongst themselves for control of their individual domains.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel selects another image.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Uh, the second Goa'uld representative we're expecting is Yu.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yu is the name of the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Also known as Yu the Great, he did not assume the role of a god per se, but may have been one of China's earliest Emperors. Legend says he possessed great mythic powers and sprang into the world from a dragon's body. Ancient scrolls say he founded the first recorded dynasty whose advances came about under harsh rule. However, it should be noted that Yu did account for a number of notable, positive influences.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
Thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel gives him an annoyed look.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
According to Thor's message, Yu is the most likely to favour this treaty as his interests no longer reside in this area of the galaxy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
And the third Goa'uld, Doctor Jackson?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel changes the picture once more.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Another one we haven't met, but have a certain&hellip;familiarity with. For those in the room who don't know, Nirrti is the Goa'uld who wiped out all but one survivor of P8X 987, along with four members of the SGC, in an attempt to destroy Earth's Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Cassandra's planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Little is known about Nirrti from Earth's perspective. In early Hindu reference she was a destructive goddess of darkness.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So we're going to let these Goa'uld just&hellip;walk in here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(to Carter)<br/><br />
There are a number of aspects of this situation I'm not comfortable with, Major.<br/><br />
(To Daniel)<br/><br />
Thank you Doctor Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The lights in the briefing room come back on.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Teal'c, I would like you to act as liaison to the Goa'uld. Doctor Jackson&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(interrupting)<br/><br />
General Hammond.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Is there a problem?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I mean no disrespect. But I have given my allegiance to you, to the SGC and to the people of this world, freely. I will, however, not see to the petty needs of these Goa'ulds.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(to Hammond)<br/><br />
I'll&hellip;see to the petty needs of the Goa'uld, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Okay, Doctor Jackson. Teal'c, you will assist Major Castleman with base security. According to Thor, Treaty Laws will not permit weapons of any kind in this facility during negotiations&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Whoa! Sir, that doesn't sound wise.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
We're largely trusting the Asgard based on your word, Colonel. This is their rule. As a result, the base is completely sealed off from the surface. The Secretary of Defense will be staying to represent the President. Storage Room 12A on level 17 will be converted to a meeting room for security reasons. You've all received folders that include your individual assignments, preparation instruction as laid out by the Asgard. There's a lot of work to do people and not much time.</blockquote><br />
<br />

[A technician unlocks a safe and removes the Goa'uld artefacts. Carter hands the Goa'uld ribbon device to the waiting soldier, who gestures at the remaining Goa'uld healing device.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SOLDIER<br/><br />
What about that one, Major?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter removes the healing device to show him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This is a Goa'uld healing device. Those two are the weapons.</blockquote><br />

I had no idea how exciting diplomacy could be, sir. What's this about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I'm not sure, it's Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and a sergeant are waiting in the corridor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Teal'c, Sergeant, what's the problem?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SERGEANT<br/><br />
He won't relinquish his weapon, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Teal'c?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Like you, I do not believe we should remove all weapons from this base.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
The Asgard were explicit. If they detect weapons, there will be no summit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No summit, no treaty.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The Goa'uld that you are allowing through your Stargate are among the most deceptive and treacherous that I have ever known.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Thor's assured us the Goa'ulds are also forbidden from bringing weapons.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
If this treaty doesn't happen, they're going to send a hundred of those motherships here. You know as well as I do what that means.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Teal'c, I'm ordering you to turn your weapon over.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c slowly relinquishes his staff weapon to the sergeant.]<br />

<blockquote>NIRRTI<br/><br />
Nor will I.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Well no offence was meant by it, it's merely a security precaution. I'll ask if we can remove the cameras from the rooms, but we'd definitely like to leave them in the halls.</blockquote><br />

[Kronos nods in assent, and Nirrti and Yu also give their permission.]<br />

As First Prime of Apophis I often did battle with the Jaffa of Kronos.</blockquote><br />

Well, you must have battled lots of rival Goa'ulds. I'm sorry Teal'c, that looked a little more personal to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They stand looking down at the Stargate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
My father was once First Prime of Kronos. When I was but a child, Kronos commanded my father to attack a Goa'uld who was more powerful at the time. It was an impossible battle to win. When all was inevitably lost, Kronos killed my father as punishment and exiled my mother and I. We fled to Chulak. I vowed I would become the strongest Jaffa I could, so one day I could be named First Prime of Apophis, sworn enemy of Kronos.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, I didn't want to say anything, because I wasn't sure until I saw his face, but I think Kronos is the one who sent the Ashrak to kill Jolinar. I just hate having them here.</blockquote><br />

You insulted them.</blockquote><br />

Can I ask you something? Why did you let the Goa'uld get that much power in the first place? I mean, if you've got the technology&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
We are not proud of the fact that we have been forced to ignore the situation as long as we have. But you must understand, there are other concerns for the Asgard. We have an enemy in our home galaxy that is far worse than the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Worse?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
I cannot explain further. For now, we use what limited resources we can spare to enforce these treaties with the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What happens if a rogue Goa'uld like Sokar, who's been banished by the System Lords, decides to come after us?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
In order to maintain the treaty, the System Lords would attempt to prevent it. Our greatest advantage has been the feudal nature of the Goa'uld. Our greatest concern has been a single Goa'uld rising to dominant power. If Sokar were to overtake the System Lord collective, the Asgard may not have sufficient power to stop him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So basically, you guys are&hellip;bluffing the Goa'uld. Big time. So far they've been so busy badgering each other, they've bought it.</blockquote><br />

I must return to my ship now. It will take time before the System Lords will be willing to reconvene. You may contact me with this.</blockquote><br />

(to SIMMS)<br/><br />
The point is, sir, with all due respect, it's not nearly as simple as you put it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(to Simms)<br/><br />
There are other threats to this world this treaty will not protect you from.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
From what my buddy Thor tells me, an enemy far worse than the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMS<br/><br />
If any of you can tell me absolutely why we should not accept this proposal, I will forward your opinion to the President, and I assure you it will be given serious weight.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ASGARD SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill is beamed up onto the Asgard ship.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Have your people reached a decision?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Um&hellip;not yet. It's kind of why I'm here. I was wondering what you think we should do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
It is your decision.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I see. Or do I? Do you guys&hellip;do you ever say one thing and mean another, kind of speak between the lines, if you know what I mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
I do not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Do not what? Speak between the lines or understand?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
What do you, O'Neill, think your people should do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
See, I don't know. It's a bit much for one guy to make that call for an entire planet. On the other hand, it's pretty obvious&hellip;give up the Stargate or be destroyed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
So it would seem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
But you see, the Goa'uld could call your bluff, attack us anyway, and we'd have given up our only means of finding a way of defending ourselves.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
That is true.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh come on, give me something! Anything! I won't hold you to it. A little head nod, if there's another way around this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
It is your planet at stake. I believe you have it within you to make the right decision.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right. Send me back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Thor bows his head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Wait! Right there! Is that a head nod? A nod is usually down then back up, you kinda just went down&hellip;Wait, I&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He is cut off as the light surrounds him and beams him away.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMS<br/><br />
(speaking on the phone)<br/><br />
Yes, I understand.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He replaces the receiver.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMS<br/><br />
We accept the terms.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Daniel, you want to tell them we're ready?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOICE<br/><br />
(over intercom)<br/><br />
Security to Level 25. Medical team to Level 25. Emergency.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel starts running towards the area.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SOLDIER<br/><br />
(to Daniel)<br/><br />
In here, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Nirrti and Yu are standing in the corridor as Daniel rushes by.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>NIRRTI<br/><br />
I demand to know the meaning of these sounds&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Please just stay in your rooms for a moment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He stops outside Kronos' room and sees Teal'c and Kronos lying unconscious on the floor. Teal’c has a head wound which has bled heavily.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[Fraiser is checking at Teal'c's condition as he lies unconscious in a bed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
His vitals are stable, but he took quite a blow to the head. There's some intercranial swelling.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Junior taking care of it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Yes, his larval Goa'uld is assisting in the healing process. Hopefully, there isn't any permanent brain damage. But we won't know that until he wakes up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
How long?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
That's up to him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What about Kronos?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They head over to where Kronos is lying in a bed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Oh, he should only be so lucky. Severe internal injuries and his host is dying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Shouldn't his snake be taking care of him?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Based on what I've learned about Goa'uld physiology, the symbiote cannot heal injuries this severe on its own. We're doing everything we can, but I don't think he's going to make it. Could be hours, could be minutes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter rushes in.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I have the security videotape. You'll want to see this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[They watch the events leading up to the attack on Kronos and Teal'c, captured on the security cameras. They see Teal'c enter Kronos' room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The SFs assigned to guard the hallway sounded the alarm. They say Teal'c passed them and told them he was going to see Kronos.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well Nirrti and Yu are demanding an explanation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Do we tell them?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, based on the video tape evidence it looks like Teal'c is involved. Not that I believe he's responsible for this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, I don't believe for a minute that Teal'c would sacrifice our interest for a personal vendetta.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What&hellip;personal vendetta?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, apparently Teal'c and Kronos have some pretty heavy history.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Such as?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Kronos killed Teal'c's father.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh for crying out loud! Why doesn't he tell us these things? Why didn't you tell us?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
He confided in me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I still don't think Teal'c would do this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well neither do I. But the case against him just got a little more interesting, don't you think?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, we have to tell the other Goa'uld something.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Yes, and if we lie we could make things worse.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Doctor?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Sir, the point is maybe the Goa'ulds can do something for Kronos that I can't.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Let's tell the Goa'uld what we know. Major, find out what really happened.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[Nirrti and Yu are brought in to see Kronos, who is still unconscious.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>NIRRTI<br/><br />
You will pay for this!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We know it looks bad.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
But we're not sure what actually transpired.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>YU<br/><br />
Whoever is responsible for this atrocity must be brought before us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We're trying to figure out exactly what happened right now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NIRRTI<br/><br />
All the people of your planet will suffer greatly as punishment for this crime.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right, just hang on a second before you go dooming everybody&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We brought you here because we want to know if there's anything either of you can do for him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
He's dying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>YU<br/><br />
We can do nothing here in your primitive facilities.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay, can you use one these?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He hands Nirrti a healing device, and she passes the glowing device over Kronos' body. She then takes the device off and hands it back to Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>NIRRTI<br/><br />
His injuries are too severe. The only way to save him is with a sarcophagus.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Okay, we don't have one of those.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>YU<br/><br />
Then we will prepare to leave. Immediately.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He and Nirrti leave the room.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ASGARD SHIP'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
You must let them take Kronos.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
They'll attack us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
If you hold them against their will, the rest of the System Lords will attack regardless.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Look, Teal'c didn't do this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
I have been instructed by the Asgard High Council to leave Earth's orbit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And that's what, in line with your policy of limited benevolence?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
I have explained our position. To borrow from a human euphemism, it is not a perfect galaxy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, well I'm sorry, I get a little testy when faced with the total annihilation of our little corner of it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
We sympathise with your situation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Right. And yet you'll still just sit by and watch them destroy us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
We cannot interfere without beginning a much larger war that cannot be won at this time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONFERENCE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>YU<br/><br />
We command that you release us!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NIRRTI<br/><br />
We must leave now and take Kronos before his death is on your heads.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I'm sorry, I can't let you go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NIRRTI<br/><br />
If we do not report back, your planet will suffer the full force of the System Lords' wrath.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
That's going to happen whether we let you go or not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>YU<br/><br />
You have violated every code mandated for these negotiations. The Asgard will not protect you!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Actually you're wrong about something. There's one rule we haven't broken yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Half a dozen SGC Soldiers enter the room, armed with guns.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMS<br/><br />
Do we have any idea of what sort of time frame surrounds this impending attack?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond shakes his head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMS<br/><br />
The President is readying a statement to the United Nations. From what you're telling me Earth should begin preparing for this onslaught immediately.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Boy did this get out of hand.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The phone rings and Hammond answers it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Hammond. Thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He replaces the receiver.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(to the others)<br/><br />
Teal'c is conscious.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c is lying awake in a bed. His face is bruised and bloody, and one side of his head is bandaged.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Kronos requested my presence.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So you went alone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is what he requested. When I arrived he denied making the request. Before I could leave we were attacked.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
By whom?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
An invisible force.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Invisible force.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
A Reetou?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Could one have come through the gate with the Goa'ulds?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, we could break out the transphase eradication rods and do a sweep of the base.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I did not sense the presence of a Reetou.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I almost wish you had.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Teal'c, are you aware of any of the Goa'uld having some sort of stealth technology?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I am not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hathor had the ability to appear and disappear.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Okay, she's dead. Right? Please tell me she's dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I did not attack Kronos.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, we believe you Teal'c, but I just don't think anyone else is going to.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Certainly not those lying, scheming, no good for nothing, slimy, over-dressed style mongers&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, I'd like to try something.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She hurries out of the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to the others)<br/><br />
I wasn't finished.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is attempting to use the healing device on Kronos.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Are you sure you know what you're doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I've made it work before just not on a living&hellip;thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She attempts to activate the device but it doesn't work.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Uh, I hate to go all&hellip;Freudian on you here. The part of you that knows how to run those things&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You think I don't want to cure Kronos because he ordered Jolinar's death. I just have the memories of Jolinar, she doesn't control me. I'm well aware of the stakes here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm just saying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter tries again and this time manages to activate the device. She passes it over Kronos' body.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It worked.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kronos opens his eyes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRONOS<br/><br />
You have healed me&hellip;human. I am sure you spared my life only to prevent your own destruction.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey! We didn't do this to you. And we saved your snaky little butt because we want the treaty to happen.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRONOS<br/><br />
That is not possible now. Nirrti and Yu have undoubtedly blamed the Tauri for this attack on me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Good catch. Look, it's obvious to everybody that one of them did this to you. What if I can prove which one, what's that worth to you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRONOS<br/><br />
What do you ask in return?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to Hammond)<br/><br />
We can't prove anything, sir. All we know for sure is that Nirrti lied.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Kronos doesn't know that and Nirrti doesn't know what else we know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Which is nothing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Right. But she doesn't know we know nothing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What are you suggesting?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm just saying maybe it's time we take a page out of the Asgard book on dealing with these&hellip;Goa'ulds.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You're going to bluff.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Sounds risky Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONFERENCE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Nirrti and Yu are sitting at the table, under armed guard.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to Nirrti)<br/><br />
You lied to us about being able to heal Kronos with that hand device.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NIRRTI<br/><br />
I tried honestly and failed. I was willing to save Kronos by taking him to a sarcophagus.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Maybe you were, maybe you weren't. But the fact is you are the only Goa'uld here who has the technology to become invisible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NIRRTI<br/><br />
(jumping to her feet)<br/><br />
That is a lie!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Who's lying? We called the Tok'ra.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They say you've been experimenting with phase shifting in order to battle the Reetou.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Yu stands]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>YU<br/><br />
(to Nirrti, angrily)<br/><br />
You did not share this technology with the System Lords?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NIRRTI<br/><br />
They are lying!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>YU<br/><br />
You dare attack Kronos and defile our meeting with the Asgard?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NIRRTI<br/><br />
It's not true!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>YU<br/><br />
You are the one who opposed this treaty. You have long coveted Kronos' territory.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NIRRTI<br/><br />
Go'tak!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Snarling with rage, Yu grabs Nirrti who suddenly disappears. The guards at the door are knocked down and one of their guns taken.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Look out!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He pushes Yu to the floor as Nirrti opens fire on the room. Nirrti runs down the corridor to the elevator, but Carter corners her. Using the TER, Carter is able to see Nirrti's position.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Drop the weapon. You ever seen one of these things work? Cause there's nothing more I would like to do right now than demonstrate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Nirrti places her gun on the floor and raises her hands in surrender.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONFERENCE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Yu is fingering the sleeve of his robe, where he has been struck by a bullet. Carter and two guards bring in the captured Nirrti.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to Yu)<br/><br />
Kronos said he'd support the Treaty and we wouldn't have to give up our Stargate. I was kind of hoping we could count on your vote.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Yu nods his assent.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The Stargate activates. Kronos and Yu, Nirrti held prisoner between them, head up the Gate ramp. O'Neill and Daniel are standing at the bottom of the ramp, witnessing their departure. Before he enters the gate, Kronos turns back to the Gate room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRONOS<br/><br />
We will not attack your world. But&hellip;if you continue to use your Stargate, be warned&mdash;anyone who is caught by one of the System Lords will be shown no mercy. They will suffer greatly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well that certainly makes life more&hellip;interesting.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Goa'uld System Lords disappear through the gate, watched by Defense Secretary Simms.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Boy is she going to get it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
My heart bleeds.</blockquote><br />

<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;THRONE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[A Jaffa enters, carrying a staff weapon. The corridor is lined with armed Jaffa. The Jaffa kneels.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
Lord Khonsu.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Khonsu is sitting on a throne, behind which hang a number of weapons.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KHONSU<br/><br />
I have a task for you, Her'ak</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
How may I serve you, my Lord?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KHONSU<br/><br />
This mission is of great importance so there's not much time. If you succeed, Anubis himself will be most pleased.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Her'ak smiles and Khonsu rises from the throne.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KHONSU<br/><br />
I have learned the location of certain enemies. They are currently vulnerable. You will take my Ha'tak, capture them and bring them to me&hellip;alive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
My Lord, may I ask who is so valuable?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Her'ak rises as Khonsu walks towards him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KHONSU<br/><br />
Three humans and a Jaffa, known to the Tau'ri as SG-1.</blockquote><br />

<br />
[The landscape is of ruins and sand. Two men dressed in desert camo are working among the ruins. One is sitting at some equipment which is standing on a partially uncovered ring transporter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
I calculate platform mass at 12.9 metric tons, consistent with the one on P4X-233.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
And every other ring transporter we've measured. Suggests some sort of standardization, don't you think?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
You think the Goa'uld have a big plant somewhere that just stamps these things out?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
Jay, how's it coming with the energy levels left in that power cell?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[There is no reply from Jay, who cannot be seen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
Jay?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Meyers walks up to Jay, followed by Coombs. Jay (Felger) is staring into the distance.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
The power cell?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Hmm?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
The power cell?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Yeah, yeah I'm working on it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
No&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Meyers snaps his fingers in front of Felger's eyes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
&hellip;you're not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Look at them. They are so cool.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger takes a few paces towards O'Neill and Teal'c who are standing some twenty feet away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Jay, enough already. It's embarrassing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
Not to mention unprofessional.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Guys, we're in the presence of greatness here. The best of the best, and here we are working alongside them. Savour the moment, gentlemen, savour the moment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
Come on, Felger. We're studying an old piece of Goa'uld technology and they're babysitting us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Meyers walks away. Felger, still staring at O'Neill and Teal'c and grinning, ignores him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
What do you think they're talking about, right now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Coombs shrugs in despair and also walks away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So T, who you taking in the Cup?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c looks at O'Neill, puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Lord Stanley's Cup?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c raises his left eyebrow.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hockey? Remember, with the ice and skating?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c raises both eyebrows slightly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We went to a game last year.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed. I believe the Canucks of Vancouver are superior warriors.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Canucks, eh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill pauses for a moment, seemingly surprised.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So, lunch?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill moves away towards the three scientists. Teal'c follows. Felger is still watching O'Neill and Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Here they come.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He quickly heads over to Coombs who is standing, holding a laptop computer. Felger stands on one side of Coombs, with Meyers on the other side. Felger looks at the monitor, appears to check that O'Neill and Teal'c are approaching, and gestures.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Yes, yes, that does look like a very important breakthrough. Good work, Coombs.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger pats Coombs on the back, while Meyers walks away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Carry on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c walk past Coombs and Felger.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Progress, professor?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger rushes to walk alongside O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Definitely, yes. Big stuff going on here&hellip;big. I can give you a full report if you want.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Save it for Carter. We just came here for the fine cuisine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill, Felger and Teal'c have arrived at a table holding a large container. O'Neill opens the container and looks at the stack of MREs. He and Teal'c start removing them and read the labels.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Of course, yeah. I mean her&hellip;her DHD reports are unbelievable aren't they? I mean, she is single handedly revolutionizing our knowledge of Stargate technology.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He looks at both Teal'c and O'Neill, who seem to be ignoring him as they look over the MREs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Any word on how that's going?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
No, no.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill passes a pouch over to Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Turkey?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Turkey there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c nods and smiles as he accepts the pouch.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
I guess I'll just get back to work, then.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Are you nearing the completion of your research?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A crash is heard.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Ow! Jeez. Who put that scanner there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c raises an eyebrow.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Uh&hellip;well, it may be a few more days yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What's your time frame there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Um, a day or so, you know, but then you guys can get right back to saving the world again&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger quickly thumps O'Neill on the arm a couple of times. O'Neill looks at his arm then looks at Felger. Felger laughs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
For the seventh time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Eighth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger and O'Neill look at Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What, you're counting?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c raises an eyebrow and shrugs slightly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(over radio)<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Yeah, Carter. Go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P5X-112&mdash;STARGATE DHD'''<br />
<br />
[The Stargate is shutting down as Jonas walks towards Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We just received an urgent message from General Hammond.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P5X-112&mdash;SCIENTIFIC CAMP'''<br />
<br />
[Felger is standing very close to O'Neill and listening over his shoulder. O'Neill almost does a double-take.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Roger that. We're on our way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[There is another crashing sound.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Oh, good one, that's only worth about two hundred thousand dollars.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Felger?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill pronounces Felger's name incorrectly, as he does throughout the mission.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Yes?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We've got to check something out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Can I help?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill, Felger and Teal'c walk away from the table. Teal'c grabs his staff weapon on the way.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No. As a matter of fact, stay here. If we're not back in an hour, get to the gate, dial home. Got it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Well, what could go wrong?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Got it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Yes, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As O'Neill and Teal'c walk away, Felger stares after them.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P5X-112&mdash;SCIENTIFIC CAMP'''<br />
<br />
[Some time later, Felger comes running down the slope into the camp. He approaches Coombs and Meyers who are kneeling over equipment.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Aren't you guys the slightest bit worried about them?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
They'll be back, Felger. Can't you see, they're just having fun with you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
What are you talking about? There's something going on out there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Oh, please, huh? They're just tired of your butt-snorkeling.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Coombs rises to face Felger.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
(mockingly)<br/><br />
So tell me how you finally defeated Apophis, Colonel O'Neill. Oh, Major Carter, I based my doctoral thesis on your amazing wormhole stability theories.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Bite me, Coombs! At least my heroes exist. If this was a Trek convention you'd be all dressed up like a Klingon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Vulcan, Felger, Vulcan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Coombs and Felger face off against each other.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
And I don't know how you can call yourself a scientist and not worship at the alter of Roddenberry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(mockingly)<br/><br />
Oooh, how we gonna get outta this one Captain? Oh, I don't know, something to do with a tachyon emitter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
Guys, knock it off. Now, what say we hook up the Naquadah generator and see if we can't get this baby started.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Fine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(under his breath to Coombs)<br/><br />
Nerd.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
(to Felger)<br/><br />
Geek.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly, a ship flies overhead, casting a large shadow over the area. Coombs buries his head in his arms and Felger ducks, but quickly looks up to watch the ship, which has headed over the hill. All three stand.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
Was that what I think it was?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
An Alkesh. Mid range Goa'uld attack vessel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
But this planet was supposedly abandoned centuries ago. There isn't even anything here except&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
SG-1.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger runs to grab a radio off a box.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill, Felger. We just saw an Alkesh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P5X-112&mdash;RUINS NEAR STARGATE'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Carter are sheltering behind some ruins. As O'Neill fires his weapon, a zat is discharged.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
I know! Stay put! Remember what I told you. Wait till it's clear, get to the gate, report to Hammond.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jonas is behind another wall, firing a zat.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P5X-112&mdash;SCIENTIFIC CAMP'''<br />
<br />
[The three scientists can hear gunfire in the distance.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill? Major Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P5X-112&mdash;RUINS NEAR STARGATE'''<br />
<br />
[The Alkesh is hovering over the Stargate. Transporter rings ascend into the ship. Zats are being fired, as well as O'Neill's P-90 and Teal'c's staff weapon. The Alkesh fires multiple rounds behind SG-1, creating a wall of fire.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P5X-112&mdash;SCIENTIFIC CAMP'''<br />
<br />
[The noise of the battle can be clearly heard.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Oh, they're in trouble.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger runs off in the direction of the gunfire.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Hey! Where you going Felger? He told us to stay put.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Meyers and Coombs reluctantly run after Felger.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill? Major Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P5X-112&mdash;NEAR STARGATE'''<br />
<br />
[Felger comes to an overhang and scrambles down to lie on his stomach.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Oh, no. Oh&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
This is ridiculous, Felger. You're gonna get us&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Meyers and Coombs run up to him. Felger turns to grab Meyers' leg to pull him to the ground.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Shut up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Meyers, in turn, grabs Coombs' arm to pull him down.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Look.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Oh, my God.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger gestures ahead, where SG-1 are being led by the Jaffa towards the Alkesh.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P5X-112'''<br />
<br />
[The three scientist are running back to the ruins and the science camp.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Wait, wait, wait, wait. You mean do something? What do you mean, do something? You're totally out of your mind, Felger. Mission protocol clearly states that if something goes wrong, we are to return to Stargate Command immediately and you know what? Something went wrong.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill said it himself. We have to go back to Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
I know what he said, but I'm the senior advisor on this mission and I'm making a command decision.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
You're a lecturer in residence at M.I.T.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Laugh all you want, but I studied every mission SG-1's ever been on, and the one thing they all have in common? They never leave a man behind. Ever.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger grabs the naquadah generator.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Technically, they're not behind. We are.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Meyers, you go back through the gate, tell General Hammond what's happened.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger turns to walk away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
What about us?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
We're going after SG-1.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
No, really.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger kneels and places the generator by the ring transporter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
You know, that ship must have taken them back to the mother ship out in orbit. We can use this platform to ring up to it but we have to act now before they're out of range.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
No, really.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger opens a small panel on the transporter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
What? You want their death on your heads?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger gets up, followed by Coombs and heads over to a number of cases.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
You're just adding our deaths to theirs.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(To Meyers)<br/><br />
Would you go?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Meyers grimaces at Felger then turns to leave. Felger, carrying a couple of cases, and Coombs return to the transporter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Help me calibrate this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Jay, we haven't run any tests, we have no idea how stable any link will be, assuming we can even get one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger has removed a crystal from the open panel and places a probe in its place. A number of other crystals light up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
We're not out of range.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Jay? Are you sure about this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Think about it, Simon. What would Colonel O'Neill do if he was here now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger hands a pistol to Coombs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
You want me to shoot you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Let's go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
All right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As Felger and Coombs step into the rings, they activate.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The rings beam up to the mothership.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
[As soon as the rings deposit Felger and Coombs and deactivate, Felger covers his eyes, starts shooting and turns in a circle. Coombs ducks and falls to the ground as the shooting starts. As Felger stops shooting, Coombs rises, very agitated.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Nicely done. We were alone, but that'll probably change now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger motions with his hand.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Please, shh&hellip;just&hellip;okay. Area secure. Let's move out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Coombs, obviously not happy, follows Felger to a doorway. Both jump back as the door automatically opens. They walk through into a corridor.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SGC CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN COMPLEX DAY'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Alarms are sounding. Davis is sitting at a terminal. Hammond comes up behind him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What've we got, Sergeant?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
It's SG-1's code, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Open the iris.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond leaves the Control Room.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[A number of armed SFs are aiming at the Stargate. Hammond enters just as Meyers comes through the gate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
(out of breath)<br/><br />
SG-1&hellip;they&hellip;took&hellip;SG-1.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Meyers virtually collapses into Hammond's arms at the bottom of the ramp.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Slow down, son. Take it easy. Where's the rest of your team?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
(out of breath)<br/><br />
Ship, lots of Jaffa, SG-1 captured, flew away, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond gestures for the SFs to lower their weapons.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Where are professors Felger and Coombs?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
They used the rings at the ruins to go up to the ship, to rescue SG-1.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
They did what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MOTHERSHIP'''<br />
<br />
[Coombs and Felger are crawling through a small shaft.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Damn it, Felger. This cannot be the way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
I swear&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger stops and tries to open a panel but is unable to.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
&hellip;it's up here and to the left.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
That's what you said three lefts ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Head!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Coombs hits his head on the shaft roof. Felger laughs.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MOTHERSHIP CELL'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c and O'Neill are sitting on a bench, with Jonas and Carter sitting across the room from them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to Jonas)<br/><br />
How come you're not smiling?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Should I be?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, it is your first time being capture by a Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Both Carter and Jonas smile.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Funny.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jonas sighs and lies his head back against the wall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
So what now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We wait.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Shouldn't we be trying to escape?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oddly, no. It won't be long.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Before what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, some overdressed, over the top bad guy floats in gloating about whatever evil fate awaits us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jonas nods, eyebrows raised. O'Neill pauses, listening.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Wait for it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Both outer and inner doors to the cell open. Her'ak enters, followed by a number of Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
See?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c stand.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill. Major Carter. The so-called greatest of all Tau'ri warriors. And the Shol'va, Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill turns to grasp Teal'c's shoulder and pat him on the back. Her'ak turns to Jonas.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
You, I'm not familiar with.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/> <br />
He's new.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Who are you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
I am Her'ak, First Prime to Lord Khonsu of Amon Shek.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Very impressive. Got a resumé?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Her'ak smirks.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
I captured you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes. Right. You did. Well done. You've got the job.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
I had been looking forward to a greater challenge than the one you provided. However, the result has yielded the same consequence. You belong to my master now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Her'ak and the Jaffa leave.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter, be honest. The resumé gag&hellip;?</blockquote><br />
<br />

It needs work, O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />

'''INT&mdash;MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[A wall panel falls to the floor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Shhh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
I didn't do anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Coombs and Felger climb out of the vent. Felger, holding his weapon, crouches and scuttles over to the other side of the corridor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
You have no idea where you're going.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Of course I do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Oh yeah, then what were we doing in the vent?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Staying out of sight. Would you stop worrying? I've studied blueprints of these motherships. Holding cells are this way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Oh please, you've studied Goa'uld mothership blueprints?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Information's an SG team's greatest ally.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As Felger crouches and scampers along the corridor, Coombs walks along.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
You know what an SG team's greatest ally is? An SG team!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Will you relax? Okay, it's this way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger heads off, followed by Coombs. Some seconds later they return and move off down another corridor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
No, this way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
I'm gonna kill you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger again scampers down the corridor, weapon held up with both hands next to his face.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Would you quit doing that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger turns around to face Coombs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
This?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Don't point the gun!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Both men head off around a corner.]<br />

[Jonas and Carter are looking up at a large vent, obviously hearing whistling which is coming via the vent.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
Is that a bird?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I do not believe so.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and O'Neill stand. O'Neill goes over to the vent.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(quietly, through the vent)<br/><br />
These panels are held in place magnetically. We have to cut the power.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill leans closer to the panel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Who is that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Felger?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger removes the panel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Oh, Colonel O'Neill. Are you all right, sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(frustrated)<br/><br />
What are you doing here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Stand easy, we're here to rescue you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger grins.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Did he say we?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
That's right. I have Coombs with me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Coombs appears in the vent.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Hi.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(sarcastically)<br/><br />
Why, look everybody, he's got Coombs with him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
You can thank us later. Right now we have to get you out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(angrily)<br/><br />
Felger! Just what part of gate home did you not understand?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Well, we just couldn't let our fellow SG team members be taken&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Felger!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
What about never leave a man behind?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What about we allowed ourselves to be captured.<br/><br />
(furious)<br/><br />
On purpose.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Oh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
You what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We're on a mission, you nit!</blockquote><br />
<br />

[O'Neill and Teal'c are glaring at Felger and Coombs, who are now out of the vent.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Please don't be angry, we just thought&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger grins nervously as Coombs points at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
It was Felger all the way. His idea completely.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Okay, well, I don't understand. I mean, what do you mean you're on a mission?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The Goa'uld we're being taken to see is actually an undercover Tok'ra.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Oh, yeah Oh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
I see. Uh, well, why the ruse?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Very few of Khonsu's Jaffa know his true identity. Her'ak and his men had to believe they had truly captured us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
See, I knew it was too easy. I mean, you guys have taken out more Jaffa than that before, right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Professor, we know you meant well but you've actually put us in a really awkward position.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Well, why not tell us?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Because you didn't need to know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We've been on standby for weeks, waiting to hear from the Tok'ra. Now, we didn't know where or when this ambush would occur. Obviously, you weren't supposed to be there when it went down, but when we finally did get the word it was too late to send you home first.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Why didn't this Khonsu just, you know, send the intel to you? I mean, why the big song and dance?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JONAS<br/><br />
He's collected vital information on how and where Anubis is getting his new technology.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
As we have said, Khonsu's true loyalties are carefully hidden. He could trust no one to carry such information in his place.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
He needs to remain undercover to continue his work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So did we.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Coombs thumps Felger on the arm.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Way to go, Felger.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Wait a minute, we got up here undetected. We haven't ruined anything yet. Nobody knows we're here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c turns to the door, obviously hearing footsteps,]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Someone approaches.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A Jaffa and guard enter. O'Neill stands nonchalantly by a wall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOL'OK<br/><br />
I am Dol'ok, free Jaffa, loyal to Khonsu the Tok'ra.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter, Teal'c and Jonas are standing shoulder to shoulder. They all nod at Dol'ok. The guard checks that no-one is approaching.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOL'OK<br/><br />
Thank you for your patience.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What patience? Can we get our weapons back? Not that we don't trust you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOL'OK<br/><br />
Soon. As you are aware, this incarceration is for your own protection. There are very few of us among the ranks but we have come to assure you that you are indeed not alone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Dol'ok notices two pairs of feet behind Carter, Teal'c and Jonas. Felger and Coombs show themselves either side of Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOL'OK<br/><br />
Who are they?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger and Coombs duck down.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Look, there's been a little bit of a mix up here. Any chance you could put these guys someplace safe, relatively secure, till this is over?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOL'OK<br/><br />
I will do what I can.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Appreciate that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill pats Dol'ok's shoulder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to Felger and Coombs)<br/><br />
Hey!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill gestures for them to step out. Felger pauses and gives O'Neill an apologetic look. Both men follow Dol'ok and the cell doors close behind them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;KHONSU'S PLANET'''<br />

<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID'''<br />
<br />
[Her'ak appears on a large screen. A couple of guards are in the room. Khonsu steps closer to the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
As ordered, we have SG-1 alive and uninjured.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KHONSU<br/><br />
Excellent. You have done well, Her'ak. I will be sure to tell Lord Anubis of your exemplary conduct when I relay this victory to him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
My thanks. Shall I interrogate the prisoners on your behalf, my lord? Surely there is much that they can reveal?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Khonsu appears on a large screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KHONSU<br/><br />
No. When you arrive, bring them before me. I will use my own methods to learn what they know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
As you wish, my lord.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As the image of Khonsu fades, Her'ak turns away and sneers.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MOTHERSHIP CARGO BAY'''<br />
<br />
[Felger and Coombs are sitting behind storage crates, as another crate is moved into position to hide them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOL'OK<br/><br />
Please do not venture from this place until we have returned. Should you be discovered your lives would be forfeit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
You got it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
You try to help people, this is the thanks you get.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
I should have shot you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Another crate is moved into position to completely hide them.]<br />

<br />
[Her'ak leads SG-1 through the pyramid, flanked by guards.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So, when do we get to meet this old Ginsu guy?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Her'ak opens a large doorway and SG-1 step through.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;CELL'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Nice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The room is circular, with a central platform edged with hip-high walls with three entrances. Her'ak gestures for the team to step onto the platform. Once SG-1 are on the platform, a force field flows upwards from the walls. Her'ak turns to leave. O'Neill reaches out to touch the force field, which obviously hurts.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah!<br/><br />
(to Carter and Teal'c)<br/><br />
Don't touch that.<br/><br />
(to Her'ak)<br/><br />
Hey, Her'ak!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Her'ak stops in the doorway and turns back to face SG-1.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What, no gloating? Take some pride in your work, son.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
You shall all be forced to bow before my master soon enough.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Her'ak and the guards leave the room. Jonas shakes his head as the door closes. O'Neill sighs and shrugs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You know, this whole imprisoned for our own protection is getting a little old.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What choice did we have? If we want this information, we have to trust Khonsu.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill shrugs in agreement.]<br />
<br />

<br />
[Felger and Coombs are sitting behind the crates. Felger has his head in his hands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
I knew I should have updated my will before agreeing to off-world assignments.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
You are not going to die, Coombs.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Oh, come on, Felger. We might as well be wearing red shirts.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
I don't get that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Coombs is about to speak as the bay door opens. Dol'ok and another Jaffa enter. Felger and Coombs look from behind the crates. A staff blast from the corridor hits the Jaffa in the back. Dol'ok goes for his weapon but is also shot. Three Jaffa enter and the first one kicks Dol'ok.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
Shol'va!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The lead Jaffa looks towards the crates hiding Felger and Coombs but then all three Jaffa leave and the door closes behind them. Felger pushes aside the crates to look at Dol'ok and the dead Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Oh, my God. I think I'm gonna throw up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Oh, these poor bastards.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Jay, I can't do this. I've gotta get out of here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Coombs moves from behind the crates, heading for the door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Simon, Simon, Simon, Simon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger grabs Coombs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
No! I'm not a soldier. I teach applied math at Yale! I have a vespa and two cats.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
Just get a hold of yourself! Don't you get it Simon? Jaffa do not kill each other for fun.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
They don't?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Coombs gestures at Dol'ok.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Okay. I don't know that for sure. I don't. But this looks like an execution. Something hinky's definitely going on here and it's up to you and I to find out what it is.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Hinky?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Yeah, it's a word.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
In what dictionary?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
I have a plan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger grins.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;KHONSU'S PLANET&mdash;STARGATE'''<br />
<br />
[A number of Jaffa are guarding the area. A transporter ring activates, unloading Felger and Coombs dressed as Jaffa. They move away, passing many of the other Jaffa. Both look uncomfortable. As they reach an area with no Jaffa in sight, Coombs puts on his glasses.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Is it okay for me to have a heart attack now? God, I don't know why I let you talk me into this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They are walking though a wooded area.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Because if we stayed on that ship we'd both be dead right now and you know it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Oh yeah, and we're better off down here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
When are you going to start trusting me, Simon? I have four post graduate degrees.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
And not one of them cover Jaffa military tactics.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As they step up a slight incline, a Jaffa appears behind them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
What are you doing here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger and Coombs turn slowly to face the Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Uh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(put-on deeper voice)<br/><br />
He is sick. I believe it is something he ate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Coombs nods then vomits. Felger zats the Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Nicely done, nicely done.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger pats a shocked Coombs on the arm.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Jay, you just shot that guy. I mean you really shot him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
No, zatted, that's completely different.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Zatted&hellip;shot&hellip;</blockquote><br />

Come on, gotta go, gotta go.</blockquote><br />

'''EXT&mdash;KHONSU'S PLANET&mdash;PYRAMID'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;THRONE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Khonsu is seated on the throne, with a number of Jaffa guards lining the room. Her'ak enters with several other Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KHONSU<br/><br />
Her'ak.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Her'ak stands before the throne. Felger and Coombs&mdash;no longer wearing his glasses&mdash;enter the room and stand at the back, behind a number of Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KHONSU<br/><br />
Where are the prisoners?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Her'ak does not reply. Khonsu stands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KHONSU<br/><br />
Answer me. Where is SG-1?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
They are no longer your concern.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Her'ak activates his staff weapon and shoots Khonsu, who collapses to the ground. Felger and Coombs look around in shock, as do the other Jaffa, who activate their weapons towards Her'ak. Her'ak steps up to the platform and faces the Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
We are betrayed, brothers. Our God was not who he claimed to be.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Khonsu turns over onto his back.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
Khonsu is Tok'ra.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Jaffa deactivate their staff weapons.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
He would weaken us like a cancer from within, destroying our one true God. Anubis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Her'ak again fires on Khonsu.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
I am in command now, until our lord returns to reward us and claim his prize. Spread the word among every rank. Be ready.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Her'ak sits on Khonsu's throne.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
Anubis is coming.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 are led into the room. O'Neill looks around.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Where's Khonsu?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
Khonsu is dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Dead? Completely dead or semi-dead? You guys seem to have a grey area in that regard.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
His true loyalties were well known. Once his betrayal bore fruit, his existence was no longer required.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You calling us fruit?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill elbows the Jaffa standing behind him in the face. Teal'c grabs another Jaffa and his staff weapon. Another Jaffa, on the platform with Her'ak, zats both O'Neill and Teal'c, who fall to the floor. Carter and Jonas struggle but are held by Jaffa. Felger and Coombs, armed with staff weapons, stand at the rear. Her'ak smirks nastily, and picks up a pain-stick. O'Neill turns over on to his back, while Teal'c is held up by a couple of Jaffa. Her'ak steps up to O'Neill and uses the pain-stick on him. O'Neill yells in pain.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah! Crap! I hate that thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Her'ak smirks.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
Now that, Colonel O'Neill, is what I call pride in my work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Good job!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
I want names, Colonel, of all the Tok'ra hiding within Anubis' ranks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, ask Khonsu. Oh wait, you can't, you killed him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Her'ak again uses the pain-stick on O'Neill, as Jonas struggles to get free.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
Tell me!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We don't know anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
He's not lying. Our orders were to make contact with Khonsu. That's it. Any information you want died with him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Forget it, Carter. He's just the warm up band and he knows it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HER'AK<br/><br />
No matter what you have endured, you have never experienced the likes of what Anubis is capable of.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill stares up at Her'ak, who has returned to the platform.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You ended that sentence with a preposition. Bastard!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter, Jonas and Teal'c are led from the room, as O'Neill is dragged to his feet and taken out. Felger and Coombs watch them leave, looking worried.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Davis is seated at a terminal, with Hammond sitting next to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
That was his last transmission?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond rises as Meyers enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
Excuse me, sir. Anything on SG-1?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
As a matter of fact, we just got a message from one of our Jaffa allies. Apparently, word has filtered through Anubis' ranks that Khonsu was exposed as a Tok'ra and that he's been murdered.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
Oh, no.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
SG-1 is still in the custody of the Jaffa who've overthrown Khonsu and Anubis himself is on the way. There's been no mention of Felger and Coombs.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
Is there no chance of mounting some sort of rescue? I'd be happy to volunteer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I appreciate that, but the planet's very heavily guarded. That was one of the reasons SG-1 had to go in undercover.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond turns to walk away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEYERS<br/><br />
Sir, with all due respect, I thought you didn't leave people behind?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I don't like this any more than you do, but I'm not going to send good men to their deaths for nothing, especially considering the sketchy nature of the intel we have on the situation. There's just nothing we can do at this time. I'm afraid, if SG-1 is going to get out of this mess, they're going to have to do it on their own.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[Felger crouches around a corner and grabs Coombs who walks out, almost uncaring.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Don't do that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger creeps through the room from pillar to pillar, followed by Coombs, who is speaking loudly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
All right. So maybe you did study Goa'uld mothership plans, but how can you possibly know where we're going now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(whispering)<br/><br />
I don't.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Jay, this is bad.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
I know!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Look, our best shot is just to get back to SGC, tell them what happened, where SG-1 is and&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Look, even if we could get through the gate, there's no telling when Anubis will arrive. Chances are SG-1 will be long gone or dead by the time they mount a rescue mission, if they're willing to send one at all.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Well, all right, what about SG-1 then, huh? If they're the big heroes you say they are then they can just bust themselves out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Come on, Coombs! This op is up to us and you know it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Op?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Op, op, op, op! It's operation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Well, just say operation then. Say operation like normal people.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Keep your voice down.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A door opens and Felger and Coombs enter a large circular room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
We have to learn everything we can about this place, find some weakness and exploit it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The room appears empty, apart from a large, tall pillar.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Uh huh. How the heck are we supposed to do that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger walks up to the pillar and presses a button. The pillar slides open to reveal a control panel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
How'd you know how to do that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Well, the writing in the hall said this was the control room.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
It did?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
I thought you said you read Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
I do, sort of.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Both men sit at a chair at the control panel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Well, this should be able to tell us everything we need to know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They start moving crystals around. A large holo-screen appears before them, with writings and diagrams flashing past.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;CELL'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This is not good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(over intercom)<br/><br />
SG-1. This is Felger.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill bolts upright.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(over intercom)<br/><br />
Do you copy? Colonel O'Neill?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 look around the room, bemused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No. This is not good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(over intercom)<br/><br />
Don't be mad, sir. Are you all right? Is everyone else with you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. Where are you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill stands and looks to the ceiling.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(over intercom)<br/><br />
We're inside the pyramid, sir. We're hiding in the control room.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill gestures in irritation.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel, they could have access to the pyramid security systems including force shield controls.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
We're working on it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(over intercom)<br/><br />
You should be able to bring up the pyramid schematics. Within the security system files you'll find a list of force shield codes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A holo-image of the pyramid appears before Felger and Coombs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Yeah, there's a lot of stuff here, Major. Okay</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(over intercom)<br/><br />
Felger, we need weapons.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
(to Felger)<br/><br />
Um, looks like there's an armoury at the end of the hall.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger rises to leave.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
(to Felger)<br/><br />
Either that or a bathroom.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger turns back to Coombs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Wwh&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
I can do this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Coombs moves to the centre of the chair and gestures Felger away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(into intercom)<br/><br />
On my way, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger grins and laughs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(To Coombs)<br/><br />
You get the shield down and use your radio from now on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger leaves and Coombs presses buttons on the panel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
This is unbelievable. Everything is in here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;CELL'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Coombs. What's going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
(over intercom)<br/><br />
I've almost got it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The force field de-activates.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Nice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill pauses where the force field used to be, waves his hand through the area then moves forward when he is not shocked by the force field.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Nice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As O'Neill reaches the doorway, he gestures for Teal'c to stand opposite him so that they are flanking the door. As the door opens, Teal'c moves to attack the newcomer but pulls back when he sees that it's Felger. Felger drops a number of zats which he is carrying. Carter and Teal'c pick up the zats, and Felger hands one to Jonas. O'Neill grabs Felger's arm.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
All right, look professor, this little stunt of yours does not excuse the fact that you disobeyed a direct order. From me. Twice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger, looking sheepish, removes the Jaffa skull cap.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Do it again I'll shoot you. Are we&hellip;?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger responds quickly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
&hellip;Crystal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Do you wanna hear the rest of my plan?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger grins at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
(over the intercom)<br/><br />
Our plan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(via radio)<br/><br />
I said stay on the radio.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Just&hellip;tell me what you know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Okay. There's a shield around the pyramid. The Stargate's outside that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So Coombs could get the shield down.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Right. Then all we have to do is take out the Jaffa guarding the gate. Coombs can ring himself out to the ring platform and then we all go home.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger laughs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Piece of cake.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We take out the Jaffa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
We&hellip;as in you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
How many?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
A dozen, tops.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
A dozen?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Yeah, and they got some of those really big guns.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Good plan, Felger, good plan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Come on, you're SG-1, this is what you do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jonas, Carter and Teal'c look at each other as O'Neill ponders.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill leads the others out of the cell.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill walks down the pillar-lined room, followed by the others.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(via radio, quietly)<br/><br />
Coombs, talk to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Coombs is studying a map on the holo-imager before him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Okay, hang another left and then two rights and then there'll be a door and beyond that is daylight.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill gestures for Carter and Felger to go to the doorway. Carter enters a code but the door remains closed. She turns to O'Neill, shrugging.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Felger?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Coombs?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Coombs is obviously frustrated. He pulls off his skull cap.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
I'm sorry. This coding is very confusing. Just wait a second.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Coombs presses some more buttons.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Felger is staring at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger walks up to O'Neill as Carter enters another code on the door panel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
I can't believe that I'm here&hellip;with you&hellip;like this. It's&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, I'm having the same problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
This is great! You know, sneaking around with you guys in a Goa'uld pyramid on some alien planet. The only thing missing is some Jaffa chasing us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal, who has been guarding the doorway into the room, enters and stands behind a pillar. Footsteps can be heard.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Okay, that's not my fault because there's no possible&hellip;<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Simon? Simon, hurry up, we've got company.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Wait, wait, wait!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Coombs is urgently reading the holo-image.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill grabs Felger's radio.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Give me that.<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Now! Coombs.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Coombs presses a number of buttons on the panel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
I got it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The door opens and Felger leaves, followed by SG-1. A number of Jaffa enter the room but walk through, without noticing the open door.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Shield is down.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;KHONSU'S PLANET&mdash;FOREST'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Way to go, Simon!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(furious)<br/><br />
Shush.<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Get your ass to the nearest ring transport and wait for my signal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Coombs switches off the panel and runs over to the doorway.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You've been a great audience, but I really must be&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The door opens to reveal a number of Jaffa on the other side. Coombs reaches over to the panel to close the door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
You! Stop!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Staying. God.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Coombs runs to hide behind the control panel.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;KHONSU'S PLANET&mdash;STARGATE AREA'''<br />
<br />
[The area is guarded by a number of Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, he wasn't kidding, that's a lot of Jaffa. Carter, Jonas, your target is that centre gun placement.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Teal'c, you're with me.<br/><br />
(pointedly, to Felger)<br/><br />
Now, is there anything else we need to discuss?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
No, sir, No, sir. I'm going to stay in this very spot. Even if I see you writhing in agony, calling my name, I'll be here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Exactly. On my signal, get Coombs out here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill hands the radio to Felger, then SG-1 move out. Jonas and Carter zat a couple of Jaffa as O'Neill zats two more. As another Jaffa walks alongside the lake, Teal'c launches out of the water, drags the Jaffa under and kills him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
(over radio)<br/><br />
Jay&hellip;uh&hellip;I've got a problem here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Shhh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[A large crack appears in the door as the Jaffa ram against it. Coombs is sitting down behind the control panel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
I think I need a little help.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;KHONSU'S PLANET&mdash;STARGATE AREA'''<br />
<br />
[More of the Jaffa are shot down. As Carter and Jonas near the large gun placement, they are fired upon. The Jaffa swivels the large weapon around towards them. They put up their hands as they see this, but before the Jaffa can fire, the weapon explodes. Teal'c, standing at another large gun, has fired on the Jaffa. He turns the gun towards more Jaffa, as O'Neill continues to zat even more.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Clear?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Jonas run towards him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Clear, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Teal'c?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c runs in from another direction.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The area is secure for the moment, O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(yelling)<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill. Colonel O'Neill! Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger runs towards them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What are you doing? Get Coombs out here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
There's a slight problem there, sir. He's stuck.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The crack in the door is now much larger.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Jay. I don't think I'm gonna make it out of here. You just go, you take care of my cats, okay?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;KHONSU'S PLANET&mdash;STARGATE AREA'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
No, no, no, no, Simon. I got us into this mess. If you're staying, I'm staying too.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No one's staying! Can he ring us in?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Coombs, can you ring Colonel O'Neill and Teal'c into the pyramid?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
(over radio)<br/><br />
I'll try.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c stand inside the ring platform.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to Carter)<br/><br />
Give us five minutes and then&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They are ringed up.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KHONSU'S PYRAMID&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[As the crack in the door widens further, Coombs, now hiding behind the chair, hears zats firing outside the door. The battering at the door stops. Coombs walks closer to the doorway but jumps back when the hammering starts again. As the door collapses, Coombs, almost in tears, sees O'Neill on the other side.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Let's go home.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Oh, thank God!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;KHONSU'S PLANET&mdash;STARGATE AREA'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill, Coombs and Teal'c are ringed back outside. They run to the Stargate, where Carter, Jonas and Felger are standing at the top of the steps. As they run, they are fired on.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Simon, are you okay?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Later!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger and Carter go through the gate. A number of Jaffa run towards the Stargate, firing. As Jonas, Coombs and Teal'c enter the gate, O'Neill stops at the top, turns to Her'ak who is leading the Jaffa, shrugs and smiles. A staff blast hits the Stargate and O'Neill jumps back then goes through the gate.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SGC CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN COMPLEX DAY'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SGC GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Felger and Coombs enter the festooned gate room and step up the red-carpeted ramp to a podium at the foot of the Stargate. Carter, O'Neill and Hammond are at the podium. A number of personnel are also in the gate room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
For bravery in the face of grave danger, I hereby award Simon Coombs and Jay Felger, each, the Air Force Civilian Award for Valour.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill removes two medals from their boxes and turns to face Coombs and Felger. He places the medal on Coombs first.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Despite the fact that you gentlemen disobeyed my orders, which, in my little world, constitutes screwing up&hellip;twice. The truth is, we wouldn't be here without you. You are true heroes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Thank you, Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill shakes hands with both Felger and Coombs. Meyers, in the crowd, puts both thumbs up to them. Carter shakes Coombs' hand and kisses him on the cheek as the crowd starts to applaud. She shakes Felger's hand then holds his face in both hands and gives him a long kiss on the mouth.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
(as the kiss is going on)<br/><br />
Felger!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SGC LAB'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Felger, Jay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Coombs pokes Felger in the cheek.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Ow. What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Snap out of it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Yeah, sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Calibration scales for the ring power source?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Felger hands Coombs a clipboard.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Right there, right&hellip;there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COOMBS<br/><br />
Geek.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FELGER<br/><br />
Nerd.</blockquote><br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''PREVIOUSLY ON STARGATE SG-1'''<br />
<br />
[Flashbacks from 5.15 "Summit".]<br />
<br />
[Ren Au hands a vial to Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REN AU<br/><br />
These two liquids mixed together form the most virulent poison.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Am I supposed to hold my breath?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>REN AU<br/><br />
The poison is only deadly to symbiotes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOB<br/><br />
There's enough material in that vial to kill every Tok'ra on this base twice over.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Flashback from 7.15 "Chimera.]<br />
<br />
[Osiris beams out of Daniel's bedroom.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Anubis once probed Thor's mind and in doing so they would have gained access to Asgard beaming technology.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Flashbacks from 8.08 "Covenant".]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Did you really think that they were gonna let you tell a secret like this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Brian, what are you talking about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
They call themselves the Trust.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They've been funding various secret endeavours, all aimed at controlling alien technology for their own purposes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Flashbacks from 8.07 "Affinity".]<br />
<br />
[Daniel has a mystery caller on the phone.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALLER<br/><br />
The symbols, Doctor Jackson. We know it's the language of the Ancients. We need it translated into Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
So either you give us what we want&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He cocks the weapon and points it at Krista.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
&hellip;or I will kill her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[End flashbacks.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN COMPLEX NIGHT'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Harriman is sitting at a monitor, making notes. A technician enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
What's going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
Not much.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The technician drags a chair over to sit next to Harriman.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
I hate the graveyard shift. Nothing exciting ever happens on it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
Hey, just because it's 3am here doesn't mean it's not daylight on other planets.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Harriman leans forward conspiratorially. The tech also leans forward.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
There could be a team coming in hot, any second now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
(awed)<br/><br />
Yeah, that's true.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Both turn slowly to look at the gate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
So, coffee?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They both walk to the rear of the Control Room, backs to the Stargate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
Let me ask you something. When it's late at night and there's not that many people around do you ever get the urge just to dial up the gate and check out another planet, just for a few minutes?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
That would be a no.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
Me&hellip;me&hellip;me neither.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A bright beam of light illuminates the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
What the hell?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Alarms start beeping. Both men look at each other then turn slowly towards the gate room. Harriman's mouth drops open in shock. They walk to the Control Room window, to see that the Stargate has disappeared. A couple of SFs in the gate room look up at them from the base of the ramp.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
The gate's gone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
(shocked)<br/><br />
I&hellip;I can see that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
Are we gonna get in trouble for this?</blockquote><br />

'''EXT&mdash;CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN COMPLEX DAY'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC INTERROGATION ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is interviewing Harriman and the technician. The interview is being recorded and filmed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What about your instruments. Were you detecting any signs of gate activity?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
No, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Did anyone approach the gate at any time?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HARRIMAN<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So no unusual activity of any kind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
Both men shake their heads, Harriman decisively.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel switches off the tape recorder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
So, are we going to be facing any kind of disciplinary action for this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, Sergeant, I think it's safe to say there was nothing you could have done.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
Thank God! I mean there wasn't. One minute we were getting coffee, the next minute&hellip;.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Wait a minute, wait a minute.<br/><br />
(loudly)<br/><br />
You were getting coffee?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
Um&hellip;well&hellip;it's&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'm joking, I'm joking. It's just a joke. I'm sorry. Okay, that's all. Thank you guys, I appreciate that. Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel exits, leaving both Harriman and the tech looking relieved.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Daniel are looking down into the gateroom. Carter is sitting at a monitor on the briefing room table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'd hate to be the guy that has to explain this to the President.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill turns to stare at Daniel. Daniel turns to O'Neill, surprised to see him glaring.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, I've got the video surveillance footage.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Daniel turn away from the window and walk across to Carter at the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The gate disappeared at 0307. There were two airmen in the gateroom and two technicians in the control room but none of them saw or heard anything out of the ordinary prior to the flash.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The monitor shows the gate being beamed away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Is it just me or does that look like an Asgard beam?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It does, which makes no sense. Why would they take our gate?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. Usually they ask nicely before they ignore us and do whatever they damn well please.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What about the Prometheus? Didn't the Asgard install beam technology as well as a hyperdrive?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's in the hangar. We're still making adjustments to the new engines. There is another possibility. We know that Anubis possessed Asgard beam technology. We also know that Ba'al took over much of his fleet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You think Ba'al stole our gate?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
To be honest, right now I don't know what to think.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, I need some answers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's not going to be easy, sir. Without a gate, we have no access to offworld intel. We have no way of knowing what's going on out there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You'll think of something. In the meantime&hellip;I have a phone call to make.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill glares at Daniel again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Is Teal'c still on P4S-161?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, his meeting with the rebel Jaffa leader should be over by now. When he can't contact us he'll follow protocol and head to the Alpha site.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel nods.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;ALPHA SITE'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ALPHA SITE CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c enters the Control Room, dressed in robes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Colonel Pierce.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
What is the situation?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
We've been out of contact with Earth for seven hours now. We can establish a wormhole but all we get is a do not proceed response to our IDC.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
As was the case when I attempted to return from my mission.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
We've had lockdowns before, but the fact that they're not responding to any of our radio calls has me concerned. Right now we have no idea what's happening at Stargate Command.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I will return to P4S-161. The rebel Jaffa will provide me with a cargo ship which I will then take to Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c begins to turn away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c turns back to face Pierce.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
We're not jumping to conclusions. This may be just a malfunction, but it's also possible Earth has been compromised.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c leaves.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CARTER'S LAB'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel enters the lab.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Find anything?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, as a matter of fact I have.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel walks up to Carter, who is sitting at a monitor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I've been going over gate room security tapes from the sensor logs. For two days before the gate disappeared we were getting this anomalous reading. We assumed it was residual feedback from a recent overhaul of the super conductors, but&hellip;I don't think so. Look at this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter plays a video tape on the monitor, which shows a scientist kneeling at the gate. A couple of beeps can be heard on the video.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What was that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I don't know. But I checked the time code and this corresponds with the exact moment that the sensors began recording the anomaly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter zooms in on the image of the scientist at the gate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I think we need to talk to this guy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill is looking at a personnel file.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Doctor Kevin Hartkins. He's been with the program seven months. Clean record, nothing out of the ordinary, except that he's gone missing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
He failed to report for duty this morning. We checked his apartment, it was cleaned out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
This is starting to sound familiar.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You think it's the Trust.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, they've been busy lately. They had Teal'c under surveillance, they blackmailed you and they tried to kill Alec Colson. Obviously, the operation is a lot bigger than we first thought. Now, as far as we know the NID has been clean for over a year. But there are still dozens of ex-agents who are unaccounted for. And they continue to receive financing from unknown sources.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Please, if they could take the gate out from under us they could empty the vault at Fort Knox.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Not necessarily. If they could take the gate any time they wanted, they would have, but that doesn't explain what Hartkins was doing, or the anomalous signal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Got a theory?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The Prometheus has Asgard beam technology but not Asgard sensors. Which means that we can't pinpoint specific targets unless they've been tagged in advance. What if whoever did this has the same problem?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Do you think the anomaly was a locater beacon?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, which Hartkins placed directly on the gate. I mean, there's no other way they could pull this off.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So my stamp collection is safe. How does that help us find the gate?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, if they want to keep using the beam, they'll have to keep using the beacons. We could request NSA satellite time to see if we could detect the signal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Do it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P4S-161 STARGATE'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c exits the Stargate. As he comes down the steps, he prepares his staff weapon for firing. Many Jaffa are lying on the ground, dead. Teal'c checks the pulse of one then rises, weapon ready, as someone comes out of the bushes, also armed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
M'zel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c lowers the staff weapon as the other man waves at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[M'zel approaches Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
What has happened here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
When I arrived, they were all dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
All?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
I will show you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Both men walk away from the Stargate and the dead Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;WAREHOUSE'''<br />
<br />
[A warehouse is surrounded by armed men and two vehicles. Another vehicle arrives and three of the armed men go towards it. Carter and Daniel exit the vehicle and immediately crouch down behind it. Carter speaks to one of the men.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SOLDIER<br/><br />
We took out a couple of guards and we have the area secured. Satellite intel puts the signal somewhere inside this complex.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Alright. You three are with us. Keep your men on the perimeter, no-one in, no-one out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SOLDIER<br/><br />
Understood.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter moves away towards the building's doorway, followed by a couple of the soldiers and Daniel. One of the men places an explosive device on the door and detonates it. The door opens.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;WAREHOUSE'''<br />
<br />
[A smoke grenade is thrown inside. After the grenade detonates, the soldiers entered, followed by Carter and Daniel. As Carter checks the warehouse, Daniel moves to an area containing equipment.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Sam!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel throws back a sheet covering a number of rockets.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel, these are VX rockets.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel picks up a cylinder, containing a fluorescent blue liquid.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah? What's this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Methyl Phosphonofluoridic acid.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Which is?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Nerve gas.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay, putting that back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel places the cylinder back on the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
There's enough here to kill several hundred thousand people.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What would the ex-NID be doing stockpiling this stuff?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I've no idea.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SOLDIER<br/><br />
Gun!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The soldiers start firing at a man who appears from behind a truck. He returns fire, hitting the nerve gas canisters. Carter zats him. As the soldiers move towards the man, Daniel notices that the damaged canisters are smoking.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Ah! We've got a problem here. What do we do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns to see the canisters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's too late.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Nothing's happening.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This doesn't make sense. The effects are almost instantaneous. We should all be dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P4S-161'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c and M'zel come upon the main camp.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
You see?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The ground is littered with bodies. Teal'c is visibly shaken and upset.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill is studying photographs of the canisters, rockets etc.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We managed to identify the liquid we found in the warehouse.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter hands a small vial of blue liquid to O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's symbiote poison. Specifically, the new formula we were working on in conjunction with the Tok'ra. [O'Neill carefully places the vial on the table and wipes his fingers.]</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's more stable than the original and easier to produce but just as deadly to the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And the Jaffa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/> <br />
Exactly, which is why we agreed not to use it, except in defensive situations. Sir, the people behind this have the gate and they have rockets capable of delivering the poison in aerosol form over large areas. I think The Trust intends to launch a full scale chemical attack against the Goa'uld, without any regard for the millions of Jaffa lives that could be lost in the process.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So, they didn't get the memo.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The guy from the warehouse isn't talking but he was carrying this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel hands a badge to O'Neill, who studies it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It's an Area 51 identification badge.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;AREA 51 COMPLEX'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;AREA 51 OFFICES'''<br />
<br />
[A scientist enters a room where Daniel and Carter are waiting. A guard is standing outside the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
Colonel Carter, Doctor Jackson. Sorry to keep you waiting.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Daniel stand. They are both wearing khaki jumpsuits.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Doctor Bricksdale, I believe you've been briefed on our situation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
Yes, I have</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, as a result of our investigation we have reason to believe that your security has been compromised.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
With all due respect, Colonel, we're not the ones who lost a Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
But alien technology has gone missing from Area 51 before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
Yes, however our security measures have been significantly increased since then. No-one's allowed to bring anything in or out. No computers, no cell phones, not even their street clothes, as you've seen. All personnel are subject to a thorough search and scan every time they leave.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Look, whoever took the Stargate has access to Asgard beam technology. Last year, when Osiris came to Earth she used that same technology which she activated remotely with a wrist device. After she was captured that wrist device was brought here, and you worked on it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
And it's been here ever since.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, if you don't mind, we'd like to see it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;ALPHA SITE'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ALPHA SITE CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
Doctor Harris checked out some of the dead Jaffa on P4S-161. You were right. It was the Tok'ra symbiote poison.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I would not have believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
I knew the Tok'ra had lost patience with the alliance but I never thought they'd do anything like this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[M'zel enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
(angrily)<br/><br />
Teal'c! I have received word from our Jaffa brothers. Three more Goa'uld planets have been attacked. Millions are dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c looks stunned.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;AREA 51 SECURED STORAGE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Bricksdale, Carter and Daniel enter a room, having shown their passes to a couple of guards. Bricksdale places his hand on a palm reader and a drawer opens. Inside is a wrist device.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
You see? It's right where we left it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sorry if I'm a little skeptical but we've been down this road before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter scans the device.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's real</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
Like I said. We figured if Osiris' ship was still up there, we could use the wrist device to get onboard. Unfortunately, it's not only keyed to the presence of naquadah in the blood of the user, but also specific Goa'uld DNA. We tried to create an adaptor using samples of both elements, but we didn't get anywhere.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So the ship is probably still in orbit but cloaked.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
In which case, we have no way to find it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ALPHA SITE CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
(angrily)<br/><br />
The Tok'ra will be made to pay for this treachery.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
Let's just calm down a second. We need to figure out what's going on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
What more do you need to know? The Jaffa are being murdered, poisoned like vermin.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
The Tok'ra have had this chemical weapon for a long time. Why would they suddenly decide to use it now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps the failure of the alliance convinced them that there was no other way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
There's something else going on. It's not a coincidence that this happened immediately after we lost contact with Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It does seem unlikely. We must speak to the Tok'ra directly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
That's not so easy. Ever since they left the Alpha Site we haven't had much intelligence on their movements. We have no idea where the new base is.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We still know the location of some of their operatives. I believe our best chance for contact is P3S-114. A Tok'ra operative named Zarin is undercover, commanding one of Ba'al's garrisons on that world.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
I will come with you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
Whoa, hold on a minute, here. You're talking about walking into Goa'uld occupied territory. There's no Jaffa fifth column there to help you out. Without sympathetic warriors in Zarin's ranks, how do you plan to avoid being captured?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We do not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
Only by being captured will we be brought before the commander.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
That's how you're going to make contact?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
We must speak to the Tok'ra. There is no other way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
It's too risky. You walk in there unannounced and Zarin could have you sacrificed just to maintain her cover.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
That is a great possibility.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PIERCE<br/><br />
You realise, the second you walk through that gate you're on your own.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Understood.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and M'zel leave.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;EARTH WAREHOUSE AREA'''<br />
<br />
[Bricksdale is standing, nervously waiting. As he begins to make a phone call, a car arrives. He closes his phone. Hoskins gets out of the car.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
So what's the big emergency?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
I can't do this anymore.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
You've already taken the money, Doctor. A little late for cold feet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
You don't understand. They came to see me. They asked me about the wrist device.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
Who?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
Two people from Stargate Command.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
And you arranged a meeting with me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hoskins looks around, nervously.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A black van races into the alley towards them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
You were followed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hoskins fires as a number of armed men exit the van. As the men return fire, Hoskins shoots out the lock on a wooden door near him and goes inside. Another van races up, just as the SG forces surround Bricksdale, who puts his hands high in the air. As Bricksdale is pushed down onto the car's bonnet, another team follow Hoskins into the building. Hoskins fires on the soldiers, who duck behind crates.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SOLDIER<br/><br />
Nobody fire, we need him alive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hoskins climbs out onto the roof, then runs along until he jumps down to the ground. As he activates a device, Carter stands from behind a vehicle and zats him. Carter moves towards Hoskins and picks up the device which is beeping softly. Suddenly, she is beamed away.]<br />

<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You're gonna need to start co-operating.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
I can't!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
A decorated officer in the United States Air Force and a member of one of our government's most top secret organisations is missing, and you're implicated.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bricksdale looks down, a hand to his forehead.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don't think you're gonna just walk away from this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
They'll kill me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We can protect you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bricksdale shakes his head, scared.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And we can also choose to ignore your two million dollar Cayman Island account.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bricksdale looks up at Daniel, shocked.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Didn't think we'd find out about that, huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
So if I help you, I can keep the money?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We could come to an arrangement.</blockquote><br />

<br />

The prisoners, my Lord.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Leave us.</blockquote><br />

[The main Jaffa appears surprised.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
My Lord?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Zarin rises from the throne.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZARIN<br/><br />
I intend to question them myself. Leave us, now!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The three Jaffa and other guards in the room leave.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZARIN<br/><br />
Are you mad? What are you doing here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and M'zel stand.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We must speak with you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZARIN<br/><br />
Speak with me? Do you not realise that by coming here you have placed all our lives in danger?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Are you not in control of this garrison?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZARIN<br/><br />
I am. And as such, it is my responsibility to see to it that you are tortured for information. Until such time that Ba'al arrives to witness your execution.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and M'zel look at each, eyebrows raised.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC INTERROGATION ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So, what's it gonna be?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
You said Colonel Carter was missing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
Well, she's probably on the ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Osiris' ship. So you did manage to get on board?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Bricksdale nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
About a year ago some men came to see me. They knew everything about my work, the Stargate, Osiris. They knew there was a possibility that a cloaked ship had been left in orbit and they wanted it badly. I told them that the key was the wrist device, but I couldn't get it out of there, at least not through the front door.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What do you mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
One day I was in the lab working on the adapter. The next thing I know, I found myself on the ship. I had remotely activated the transport beam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Which you failed to report.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
It was killing me that I wasn't able to tell anybody I'd figured it out. I had to keep telling them it wasn't working. Anyway, after that, I went back and forth half a dozen times. But at the end of the day, the wrist device was always back where it belonged. </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And you beamed the others up using locator beacons.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
Well, the beam was the only thing that worked without the command codes. That's where you came in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Translation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel closes his eyes in disgust.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
Osiris worked for Anubis, and Anubis had all his command codes translated into Ancient. And once they had full control of the ship, thanks to you, they had no need for me. They kept a permanent presence up there, twenty four-seven, worked in shifts. I went back to Area 51 and sabotaged the adapter. Project was shelved and no-one was the wiser.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Can you get the wrist device to work again?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRICKSDALE<br/><br />
Absolutely.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />

<br />
[He gestures at Carter. Hoskins turns towards her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
Colonel Carter. Welcome aboard.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Where are we?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
We're in a polar orbit around the moon. Cloaked, of course.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This is the ship Osiris left behind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
We really have to thank you. If you hadn't have caught her we never would have had this opportunity.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You know they're gonna come after you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JENNINGS<br/><br />
Prometheus is undergoing a refit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They still have sub-light engines. Once they've realised you're in a ship they'll launch. And even with a cloak you're giving off an energy signature.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
We're operating at minimal power. Maybe after a year of intensive scans they might be able to find us. But this won't take that long.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jennings loads a cylinder of the symbiote poison into a rocket.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You're gonna launch a chemical attack against the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JENNINGS<br/><br />
We already have. We're starting with Ba'al's territory, Since he's the most immediate threat right now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You realise you're killing millions of innocent Jaffa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
Spare me, Colonel. The Jaffa are a race of warriors, bred specifically to serve the Goa'uld and enslave humans throughout the galaxy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They're indoctrinated from childhood to believe that the Goa'uld are their Gods. They don't have a choice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JENNINGS<br/><br />
So they're just following orders, right? Where have I heard that argument before?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What about the rebel Jaffa? They're growing in numbers every day.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JENNINGS<br/><br />
We consider them acceptable losses.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HOSKINS<br/><br />
It's very simple, Colonel. Earth faces an imminent threat and we have a weapon that can eliminate that threat. We intend to use it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The rocket is armed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JENNINGS<br/><br />
We're ready.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jennings walks over to a computer.]<br />

<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
M'zel! I feel as you do, brother. But this is not the way.</blockquote><br />

[M'zel continues to choke Zarin, but turns to look at Teal'c. He lets Zarin go and steps back.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZARIN<br/><br />

<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
We know about the attacks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZARIN<br/><br />
What attacks?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The Tok'ra have been using symbiote poison against the Goa'uld. Jaffa of three worlds have been annihilated thus far.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZARIN<br/><br />
Impossible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>M'ZEL<br/><br />
We have seen it with our own eyes. An entire Jaffa army lying dead on the ground with no wounds, no signs of battle. How do you explain this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ZARIN<br/><br />
I cannot. But I can assure you that the Tok'ra are not responsible. If these attacks had been planned I would have been informed.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />

[Teal'c holds M'zel as he falls to the ground. All the Jaffa have collapsed.]<br />

You know as much about the current tactical and strategic positions of the different System Lords as anyone on Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />

I don't know as much as you think.</blockquote><br />
<br />

You know enough to help us get maximum effect with minimum collateral damage. You're the one who wants to save innocent lives.</blockquote><br />

[Carter smiles mirthlessly.]<br />
<br />

Nice try.</blockquote><br />
<br />

So. Are we going for P5R-357, or not?</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Alright, tell me again why I should agree to this?</blockquote><br />
<br />

Because it's the only way we have to get on the ship, and if they've changed the command codes I'm the one who has the best chance to decipher the Ancient symbols.</blockquote><br />
<br />

<br />
[Daniel looks at O'Neill and Siler. Both are silent.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Look, Daniel, just because I don't have a better idea is no reason to do anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Both Daniel and O'Neill look confused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Look, once I shut down the cloak, Prometheus will be able to pinpoint the ship's location. Then all I'll have to do is disable the hyper-drive and wait for the cavalry. They'll never see it coming.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Which is one of the advantages of a totally insane idea.</blockquote><br />
<br />

[Daniel and O'Neill grimace at each other.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />

Does anyone read? Repeat, this is Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Teal'c, this is Daniel, we need your help, come on through.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hoskins notices the zat and rushes to pick it up. As he aims it at Daniel, Teal'c comes through the Stargate. Hoskins, hearing Teal'c come through, turns to fire at him but Teal'c shoots him with his staff weapon. Hoskins falls to the ground, dead. Teal'c walks down the steps to Hoskins, still aiming at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Does somebody want to untie me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BROOKES<br/><br />
(over radio)<br/><br />
Cargo hold? What's happening down there? Cargo hold respond. Jennings, Hoskins, where the hell are you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[Not receiving a reply, Brookes works at a couple of the consoles.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP CARGO HOLD'''<br />
<br />
[As Daniel unties Carter, the sound of the engines firing can be heard. The power fluctuates.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What's happening.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter runs to one of the monitors.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
She's bringing the hyperdrive online. Get to the gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Daniel stand at the gate.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[Brookes prepares to manoeuvre the ship.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />

<blockquote>COMM OFFICER<br/><br />
They're trying to run, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
Dammit.<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
General O'Neill? They are powering up their hyperdrive. We are out of options.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Can you disable the ship without destroying it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
I cannot give you any guarantees.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP CARGO HOLD'''<br />
<br />
[Carter searches Jennings' pockets. She finds the beacon device and activates it.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COMM OFFICER<br/><br />
Sir, we're picking up a signal coming from inside the ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
What is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COMM OFFICER<br/><br />
Locator beacon, sir. Same frequency.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
Lock on the signal, activate transport beam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COMM OFFICER<br/><br />
Beam activated.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OSIRIS' SHIP BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
[Brookes begins to manoeuvre the ship.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[Osiris' ship launches into hyper-drive and enters a wormhole.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COMM OFFICER<br/><br />
The ship's gone, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Cargo bay, report.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOICE OVER RADIO<br/><br />
This is cargo bay. We have the gate, sir, as well as Teal'c, Colonel Carter and Doctor Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Comm Officer smiles.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
(surprised)<br/><br />
Teal'c?<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Acknowledged.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
General O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
(over radio)<br/><br />
It looks like you were right. We have the gate and SG-1 aboard. They are alive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's good news. Bring them home.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>PROMETHEUS</i> BRIDGE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PENDERGAST<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />

<br />
'''EXT&mdash;CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN COMPLEX DUSK'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is in the gate room with Siler and a number of technicians. The Stargate is being replaced. Carter walks down the ramp.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The good news is, the gate is fully operational again. We can resume offworld missions immediately.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And the bad news is, the Trust now has a fully functional Goa'uld Alkesh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We've installed jamming devices around the gate to prevent any locator beams from operating in the future.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
What of the Tok'ra poison?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, they left most of it behind, but they still have enough to wipe out at least half a dozen Goa'uld worlds.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c raises an eyebrow.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
In retrospect, maybe you should have destroyed the ship when you had the chance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(seriously)<br/><br />
Yeah. Tough choice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill exits, leaving Carter, Daniel and Teal'c looking towards him.]<br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Once you walk through that door, there's no turning back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Oh, I understand, Brian. I'm not having any doubts.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vogler and Colson walk through the office. Colson picks up a jacket and puts it on.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Alec, it is not just your credibility at stake here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
You're right, there. It's the leaders of the democratic free world should be worried.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson walks into an elevator.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Think about the people who work for this company. The shareholders.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I am, Brian. They have a right to know the truth, as does everybody else.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vogler joins Colson in the elevator.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Trust me, we're doing the right thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The doors close.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PRESS CONFERENCE'''<br />
<br />
[A large number of reporters and cameramen are gathered in the room. Colson enters, acknowledging people and shaking hands. He and Vogler step up to a podium where a number of microphones are set up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Thank you all for coming. As you all know, about five months ago our planet suffered a horrible tragedy. Over two thousand American servicemen and women were killed when a meteor shower disrupted global communications and hit a United States Naval Carrier Group on manoeuvres in the Pacific Ocean. I'm here today to challenge the facts of that incident as they've been conveyed to the general public.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The people present murmur, surprised at Colson's speech.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC DANIEL'S LAB'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is watching the press conference on television.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
On the day in question, none of our satellites detected a meteor shower.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hey, what's going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Shh, sh, sh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter leans on the desk, watching the television.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Now, I don't know how many governments around the world are in on this, but I do know we are being lied to and the truth is being covered up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh, oh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks at Daniel as he grimaces.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Ladies and gentlemen. There is life beyond our world. There are aliens out there and they have a technology far beyond ours and they have been intervening in our existence for quite some time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and Carter look at each other.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I have proof, and I am giving the governments of all the nations that are aware of this, 24 hours to reveal the truth&hellip;or I'm gonna do it for them. Thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson leaves the podium.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well. There you go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel smiles mirthlessly.]<br />
<br />
'''END TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter, Teal'c and Daniel are watching a TV report by Julia Donovan about Colson.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
For those of you living on another planet for the past 20 years, Alec Colson, age 42. Net worth, over sixty billion dollars, runs a global empire of companies including communications, biotechnology, aerospace and aviation. He's number eight on the Fortune 500.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill enters the briefing room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPORTER<br/><br />
He personally holds over 200 proprietary patents in both the military and domestic industries.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Shut it off.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns off the television.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We know who he is.<br/><br />
(to Carter, pointedly)<br/><br />
Some of us better than others.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We worked together briefly, sir. Colson Aviation developed the multi engine control systems for the F-302s. Colson didn't know what they were for, of course, but he is a brilliant engineer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
He's also a little nuts, isn't he?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You've test flown experimental aircraft.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We all go through the gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
This isn't about us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, in a way, it is.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The point is, sir, he's not some looney cult leader. People are taking him seriously.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So, what do we think he knows?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill opens a file containing a photograph of Colson, in flying gear.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
He owns several Earth observer and weather satellites. Maybe it's possible they picked something up. Pictures of Anubis' fleet in orbit, or the battle over Antarctica.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What I don't understand is how it could have come this far.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill reads from the file.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
He's gotten the National Security speech from the Pentagon, several times. Apparently the President has called him personally.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Why not merely tell him the truth?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
His personality was profiled and he was deemed a security risk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
For obvious reasons.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Apparently his father was a newspaper reporter who was jailed during the McCarthy era. He believes pretty strongly in the freedom of speech and the rights of the people to know what the government is doing at all times.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Leaking classified information could be considered treason.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Alright, see if he can be convinced not to go public.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Without actually telling him anything?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Right!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill walks into his office.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;COLSON INDUSTRIES BUILDING'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;COLSON'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
We've got all the major networks, over a dozen live radio broadcasts and reporters from newspapers, both legit and tabloids, all waiting for the next shooter draft.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Brian, calm down!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Our stock price is trading down twenty five percent. We overextended ourselves competing for that last round of contracts. That stock price is the only thing covering our debt. And you are alienating our biggest client. We're going to have to start selling off assets, just to...</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson pours himself a drink.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
What does that matter, Brian? Given what we know?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
I don't know, I guess I'm just trying to hold on to some shred of reality.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Well, you, along with everyone else, are going to have to start dealing with a whole new reality from now on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
What if the world can't handle it? What if Washington's right and we should just keep this thing in the bag?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Trust me. The truth is always right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vogler sighs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
We've already caused mass hysteria. You have no idea how much chaos this could cause.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A woman enters the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FEMALE STAFFER<br/><br />
Alec. They're here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Oh, show them in, would you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He hands Brian the drink and slaps him on the arm.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
It'll be okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Daniel enter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Lieutenant Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He and Carter shake hands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Alec.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Radiant as ever.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel reaches forward to shake Colson's hand.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Daniel Jackson</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Oh Doc! I'm a big fan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Really?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Yes, I've been following you since your early career. Pyramids as landing pads for alien ships? Fascinating.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Uh, yeah, that was a long time ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Yeah, what have you been up to since? It's like you just dropped off the map.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I've been around.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vogler walks up behind Colson.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Ah. Oh, I beg your pardon. May I introduce Brian Vogler.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Thank you for seeing us today.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Well, shall we?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson walks further into the room towards a sofa and television.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Why don't we start with something I'm sure we can all agree on, hmmm?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vogler, Carter and Daniel follow Colson, who turns on the television.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
That meteor shower was a cover story, and a surprisingly weak one at that. Although under the circumstances, I'm not so sure I'd have come up with a better one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What makes you say that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson shows a recording of Anubis' fleet in orbit over Earth, followed by images of a space battle and finally, the Prometheus. Daniel and Carter look uncomfortable.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
(pointing to the screen)<br/><br />
Oh! I'm guessing that's one of ours?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
We lost contact with twelve communications and weather mapping satellites for over six hours on the day in question. When we got them back online they were able to transmit images stored in the buffers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Images like these can be faked.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Or made to seem fake. I know why you're here, Sam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson walks up to Carter and Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
The Pentagon wants me to know that people like you are going to be trying to make me look like a fraud.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
People like me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Very smart people. Oh, we have more than this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson gestures to the television.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Now obviously, I don't know everything but I do have a right to. As does everyone else.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Anything we can say to stop you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Believe me, I've tried.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;COLSON INDUSTRIES BUILDING'''<br />
<br />
[Carter and Daniel leave the building. Carter's mobile rings.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(into phone)<br/><br />
Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TV STUDIOES'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
(into phone)<br/><br />
Sam, it's Julia Donovan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;COLSON INDUSTRIES BUILDING'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How did you get this number?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
I have my sources. Our camera track just caught you and a nice looking young man going into Colson Industries head office in Seattle an hour ago. I just saw the feed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Donovan is speaking quietly, obviously not wanting anyone to overhear her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
Just wondering if you had an official comment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, I think your coverage is a little one sided.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
Come on, Sam. Colson's going to out the whole operation. You don't really think Washington can contain this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We'll see. Look, I don't have to remind you about the non disclosure agreement you signed, do I?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(To Daniel)<br/><br />
It's the reporter from the Prometheus incident.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
Colson doesn't seem to be worried about going to jail.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, well, he hasn't done anything illegal yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and Carter get into a red sports car. Daniel is checking his mobile.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
We had an agreement. You said that if something big was going to break you would call me first.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I will, okay?<br/><br />
(Carter closes the phone)<br/><br />
Bye, bye.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I've got thirteen messages from Emmett Bregman.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter sighs.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;COLSON INDUSTRIES OFFICES'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FEMALE STAFFER<br/><br />
The switchboard's been jammed ever since the press conference. Every crackpot in the world is calling.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Yeah, I've arranged security for all of you and your families.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson, the woman, Vogler and a man are walking along the corridors.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FEMALE STAFFER<br/><br />
Do you really think we need to be worried?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I'd be more worried about the things we still don't know at this point.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
I'm trying to convince him it's not too late.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
It is too late, Brian. Too late for the world to know there was a large scale alien attack against our planet which was barely thwarted. Too late for the general public to realise they've been lied to, by two different elected administrations, about the very nature of our existence.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FEMALE STAFFER<br/><br />
So, we're going public with everything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I was really hoping the Feds would come clean.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
I can't believe Washington hasn't done more to try and stop us. Some sort of legal injunction.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
That would legitimise our claims. No, no, they're obviously going to try to play this as if we can't be taken seriously.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FEMALE STAFFER<br/><br />
We're one of the largest corporations in the world.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
And we're telling the truth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
(frustrated)<br/><br />
Alec! It doesn't matter who we are, or how right we are. They can stop us if they really want to.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Oh, come on, Brian, what are they gonna do, hmm?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson slaps Vogler on both arms.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Have me killed?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson walks into his office. Vogler is obviously concerned.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel, Carter, O'Neill and Teal'c are watching Donovan's report on Colson.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, he's gotta have something more significant than pictures.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'm going over government contracts assigned to Colson's companies over the last few years. I haven't got through them all yet, but there's quite a few loosely related to R and D of alien technologies that we procured offworld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill turns the up the television.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
We'll now head to Colson Industries.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The television shows Colson holding another press conference.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Welcome, and thank you for coming.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks at her watch.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
24 hours to the minute.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PRESS CONFERENCE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Yesterday, I told you of our belief in the existence of intelligent life beyond our planet. I also told you that we believe several governments, including our own, have known about this and have been concealing the information for quite some time now. Yesterday, I challenged those governments to come clean. Reveal the truth. We got only silence. Which gives me no choice but to present to you what evidence I have. How do I know for sure that alien life really does exist? Ladies and gentlemen, seeing is believing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson gestures to the back of the room. The reporters turn as an Asgard is brought into the room. Cameras flash as the Asgard stands, seemingly nervous and upset.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill turns from the television to face SG-1.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, I'd call that something.</blockquote><br />
<br />

[Donovan is making a news report, a recording of the Asgard on a screen behind her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
The world is in a frenzy after yesterday's startling revelation of what appeared to be a live alien, by billionaire industrialist, Alec Colson. Thus far there's been no official statement from the White House and sources inside Colson Industries promise that there is definitely more to come.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC DANIEL'S LAB'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is on the phone. Daniel is reading a report.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(into phone)<br/><br />
Okay. Thank you, Sergeant.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She puts down the phone.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, we just got a message back from Thor. As far as he knows there are no Asgard currently on Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Loki was here for years conducting experiments without the High Council knowing about it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Okay, here's a possibility. What if&hellip;it wasn't really an Asgard?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks at Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Looked like one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Didn't sound like one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Didn't say anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's my point. Colson wrapped things up pretty quickly without taking any questions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It was a perfect likeness.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Imagery of little grey aliens has been commonplace on Earth for years. For that matter, Colson could have a picture.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So not a real Asgard?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No Asgard we know would allow himself to be used that way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It did look a little vacant.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Still, as much as he wants the whole truth I don't think Colson would perpetrate a hoax to get it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Then what was it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I don't know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;COLSON INDUSTRIES OFFICES'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
The networks all want interviews.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson, the woman and Vogler are walking through the offices.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Too bad our friend can't talk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FEMALE STAFFER<br/><br />
Well, we know he's capable. The MRI show larynx not too different from ours. But he doesn't seem to have anything to say.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
They also want full access for independent medical and scientific personnel to verify that it's really what we say it is.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FEMALE STAFFER<br/><br />
How are we supposed to convince the world of alien intelligence when this guy doesn't seem to have any?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
We can't just trot this thing out on television with wild claims we aren't going to be able to back up. Granted, it's an amazing genetic experiment, but we don't even know that the thing is really alien.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;COLSON'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[They enter the office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
What else could it be?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FEMALE STAFFER<br/><br />
All we know is that the DNA came from the Department of Defence.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Look, we're trying to build a circumstantial case here. The more questions we can raise, the more the burden of proof is gonna shift to Washington. Sooner or later, they're gonna have to respond to the public pressure. Meanwhile, we stay quiet. The media's going nuts over this whole thing. So, let's just sit tight and see what happens.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill is sitting at the table as Daniel, Carter and Teal'c enter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, Sam was right. There's something different about Colson's Asgard.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel, Carter and Teal'c sit at the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Seems that a Colson biotech research company was given a copy of Asgard DNA for sequencing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We were trying to help with their cloning problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Colson grew a clone?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They weren't told it was alien DNA, it was meant to be a blind study. But they obviously took their research a little further than the contract specified.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Asgard DNA is programmed to grow a clone to maturity in just three months. But they're essentially an empty shell until an existing consciousness can be transferred into them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It did not speak because it was not capable.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Exactly. They probably spent what time they had with it teaching it how to walk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, the Pentagon has lost all patience.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What are they gonna do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
They want us to put a stop to it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We're calling in a marker.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill smiles as the others look confused. O'Neill looks at his watch, obviously waiting for something to happen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yep, calling in a marker.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks around, just as Thor beams in to the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Greetings.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah!</blockquote><br />

[The female staffer strides through the corridor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FEMALE STAFFER<br/><br />
Excuse me!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She enters Colson's office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FEMALE STAFFER<br/><br />
It's gone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
What do you mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FEMALE STAFFER<br/><br />
Just disappeared right out of the lab. The alien! Computers, everything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
How? What about security?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson stands, agitated.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FEMALE STAFFER<br/><br />
Nobody took it. It disappeared. We were standing right there, there was a bright flash of light, and it was all just gone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson reaches for his jacket.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Alright, have Ron send out the decoy car and get the plane ready for a trip to Washington. Have it ready by the time I get to the hangar.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson leaves as the woman turns to pick up the phone.]<br />
<br />

<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
You ready?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Donovan is sitting behind a desk. Carter, in dress blues, is sitting beside her being fitted with a microphone.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Not really.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
Just try not to think about the camera. Focus on me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's not that. I respect Alec Colson. I don't like being asked to discredit a man who has every right to want the truth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
But you've been ordered to do this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
Well, if you want to go against those orders, feel free. I'll go with it. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[Theme music begins as the countdown to going on air begins.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DIRECTOR<br/><br />
(over intercom)<br/><br />
In five, four, three, two...</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Donovan is presenting the show.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
We're here with Lieutenant Colonel Samantha Carter of the United States Air Force.<br/><br />
(to Carter)<br/><br />
Welcome.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
Your background is astrophysics and you're one of the military's leading scientific researchers. We're all very eager to finally hear some reaction from Washington regarding the revelation made by Alec Colson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, first of all, I can assure people that if aliens really existed, and were visiting the planet, we would know about it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
So, are you saying his claims have no merit? We all saw an alien on live television.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, well, Hollywood's been helping us see things on TV, for a long time now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
Are you saying that the alien wasn't real?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It depends on what you mean by real.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;COLSON'S VEHICLE'''<br />
<br />
[Colson and Vogler are watching the interview on a small screen in the rear of the car.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Notice she hasn't actually lied once.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TV STUDIOES'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I can show you some advanced methods for creating realistic 3D images that we've been working on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
By all means.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We've been experimenting with technology that makes it possible for us to create anything you can imagine. Virtually.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns to the side as a hologram of an Asgard appears next to her.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;COLSON'S VEHICLE'''<br />
<br />
[Colson and Vogler look surprised as they see the image of the Asgard on the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
Wow, that looks just like the alien Alec Colson introduced to us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASGARD<br/><br />
Greetings, people of Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TV STUDIOES'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
That's amazing. He looks so real.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASGARD<br/><br />
Though I look real, I have been created through the use of advanced holographic technology.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
That's just incredible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter waves her hand through the hologram, making the image flicker.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's just a projection. You'll probably be seeing technology like this in theme park rides in a few years.</blockquote><br />
<br />

<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Oh, she's good.</blockquote><br />

[The interview has ended. Donovan is reviewing the tape of the Asgard.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
Not quite the exclusive I had in mind, but it'll still do huge numbers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You're hilarious. After everything you've been through you still care about ratings.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
How did you do it? I've seen visual effects before, Sam, and this was some sort of...</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Donovan is handed a message.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
...some sort of alien technology, wasn't it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Donovan reads the message, frowning.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
Ten minutes ago, Alec Colson's private plane was forced into an emergency landing after almost crashing on take off from C Tak. The plane suffered sudden depressurisation and loss of engine power but was able to land without serious incident. Excuse me, Sam, I've gotta get on the air with this.<br/><br />
(to staffers)<br/><br />
I need something on Colson's wife and his daughter. They died in a plane crash when he was twenty four.<br/><br />
(to Carter)<br/><br />
That's why he started Colson Aviation.<br/><br />
(to staff)<br/><br />
Let's go!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter's mobile rings.]<br />
<br />

It's Alec Colson.</blockquote><br />

[Carter looks around and walks away from Donovan and other staff. She speaks quietly into the phone.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Are you okay?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
News travels fast. It was close. Brian's still as white as a sheet.</blockquote><br />

<br />
'''INT&mdash;TV STUDIOES'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How did you get this number?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Oh, I have my sources. You know, the ground crew here found evidence the plane had been tampered with.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vogler prepares himself a drink.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Someone tried to kill you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Seems that way. Any ideas?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You think I know? Why would I go on TV to publicly discredit you if I knew you were about to be assassinated?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
To make sure it didn't look like Washington had anything to do with it. A fine job you did too, by the way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm sorry, I was following orders.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Yeah, I know. Don't worry, Sam. I don't believe for a second you were in on it. If it was our government I'm sure you were just a pawn.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That doesn't make me feel any better. Look, Alec, I can assure you that...</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
It's okay, it's okay, it wasn't my first rough landing, I'm sure it won't be my last. I won't be stopped, Sam. I promise you, one way or another, the world is gonna learn the truth.</blockquote><br />

Um, how about a hyperdrive for the Prometheus?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Thor and Daniel are sitting in front of the desk. Daniel is making notes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
That is something I must discuss with the High Council.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Thor, come on! You said you wanted to get something nice for the President.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, anything on who might have tried to kill Colson?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It wasn't us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We think that Colson may have fragments of downed Goa'uld ships recovered from the Antarctic. A subsidiary of his was involved in the salvage and the clean up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Are we just going to keep trying to discredit the man? I mean, aren't we the ones a little delusional to think that we could cover up an attack of this scale?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What's the alternative?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How about tell the truth?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and Thor look at Carter, surprised. Daniel and O'Neill look at each other, puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I mean to Colson. Look, I know he's been profiled and deemed a security risk and obviously that's an accurate assessment but what have we got to lose at this point? He's already trying to go public, let's show him why it's so important to keep the secret. Besides, think of the benefits of having a man with his resources on our side. </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, Thor and I are meeting with the President in five minutes. I'll bring it up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Five minutes?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill grins at Thor, as they are both beamed away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She looks at Daniel, who just shrugs.]<br />
<br />
Back with Colson<br />
<br />

You think that didn't work in our favour?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />

[Colson materialises in the room, with Thor. As Colson sees Thor, he steps back in shock.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Okay. What just happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Daniel walk towards them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, in layman's terms, we beamed you up and then down again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Where am I?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Cheyenne Mountain Complex, Colorado. You know Daniel, of course.</blockquote><br />

[Colson and Daniel shake hands.]<br />
<br />

Yeah, hi.</blockquote><br />

Ah, so this is a real one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yep.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
What happened to the clone?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
It will become a host to an Asgard consciousness whose physical body is failing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Now, I must take my leave. General O'Neill said he will see you all tomorrow.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Thor is beamed away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Huh&hellip;wha?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I want to show you something.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter opens the blast doors at the window, to show the Stargate. Colson comes to stand next to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We call it a Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC VIP ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Colson is on the phone.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I'm okay, Brian. I promise you, I'm fine. I'll be back in a couple of days.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[There is a knock at the door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I've got to go. Alright, bye.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson puts down the phone as Carter enters the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Ready?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Wow! Look at you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, soldier Sam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I get a uniform too?</blockquote><br />
<br />

[Carter throws a bundled up uniform to Colson.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Alright!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The gate is dialling out. Colson enters, joining Carter at the base of the ramp. As the Stargate activates, Colson steps back as the event horizon whooshes out. Carter smiles and starts up the ramp.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Whoa! So, where are we going?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson follows Carter onto the ramp.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
P4X-650. We have an offworld base there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
And how far away is that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
640 light years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They stop at the event horizon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Really?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Let's go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They walk through the gate, and travel through the wormhole.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ALPHA SITE GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[They step out of the gate into a large building. Colson looks at the gate as it shuts down. He looks at Carter in amazement.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Didn't feel a thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You were de-molecularised.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[An officer walks up to them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CAPTAIN<br/><br />
Welcome to the Alpha site.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson and Carter step down from the Stargate platform.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Alec Colson. Captain Sheffield.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson and Sheffield shake hands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Well it's&hellip;it's nice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Our last Alpha site was destroyed in an attack. We decided to build this one inside a mountain, like the SGC.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHEFFIELD<br/><br />
This is all a bit spartan but it's our home away from home.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I guess I was just expecting something a little more, I don't know, otherworldly?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter opens blast doors, to show an F-302 in a hangar. Colson steps into the hangar, but stops in amazement.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Now that&hellip;that's more like it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's called the F-302. Alien-human hybrid.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They walk towards the aircraft.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
So this is what the MECs were for?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, thanks to you it's capable of leaving the atmosphere and returning. We used a number of these to defend Earth five months ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson reaches up to touch the aircraft.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This is just one of the many advancements we've made as a result of technology procured through the Stargate. You wanna take a ride?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson smiles and nods.]<br />

<br />
<blockquote>FEMALE STAFFER<br/><br />
Brian, what are you doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Alec wants all the evidence that we have about the alien cover-up duplicated, and secured off premises. You can get started on whatever we have left on the clone research.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FEMALE STAFFER<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The woman leaves just as Vogler's mobile rings. Vogler check that no-one is in the office, then answers it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
(into phone)<br/><br />
Vogler. I told you, I don't know where he is. I have a meeting with the SEC this afternoon. I understand. Don't worry, it'll work.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Beautiful.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Must be hard, keeping all this secret. I don't know how you do it.</blockquote><br />
<br />

I think of all the fear it would cause, the potential chaos.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Ah, but what about all the greater meaning you could bring to people's lives? Just knowing that all this is out here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What's out here is an enemy so advanced, so evil, it's a miracle we haven't been wiped out or enslaved yet. We've been very lucky so far. I think most people would have a hard time living with the threat of constant impending doom.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Oh, right, the old if you had cancer argument. Would you want to know you were gonna die, or would you rather live out your final days in blissful ignorance?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, I guess I don't really buy it either.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Well, I'd rather know, and try to cure it. If I couldn't do that, then I'd try to make my final days as meaningful as possible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You want a turn?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I thought I was going to have to ask.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Switching to co-pilot control. Go ahead, she's all yours.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson takes control of the aircraft and flies into a roll.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So, what do you think?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Amazing! She manoeuvres like an F-822, and feels like a 747.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods in agreement.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's the inertial dampeners.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Alright, let's try this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He dives the plane sharply to the ground. A number of alarms start ringing and a main engine rocket fuel warning flashes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Alec! Alec, pull up!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter takes control of the plane and, as the aircraft skims treetops, she pulls it up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ALPHA CONTROL<br/><br />
(over radio)<br/><br />
Flight, this is Alpha Command. Is everything okay up there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It is now, we're fine. Bringing her back in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter shakes her head and sighs.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ALPHA SITE HANGAR'''<br />
<br />
[The plane is brought into the hangar. Carter and Colson take off their helmets as the cockpit cover slides open.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, that was reckless.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Ah, the 302 can handle it. I know. I may not have known its name but I helped you build it, remember?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It was a joy ride. I took you up for a little fun.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter steps out of her seat.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
This isn't a game, Sam! What you guys are doing up here? This is life and death, for all of us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We know that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
It wasn't much fun feeling out of control like that, was it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You don't have to make your point with my life.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Oh, come on! We were never gonna crash. Unlike my plane back on Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I told you. We had nothing to do with it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Yeah, well, someone did. And if you think that, or any of this, is gonna prevent me from telling the world what they have a right to know. You're dead wrong.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ALPHA SITE GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Colson is studying the Stargate. Carter steps up on to the platform.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Alec. There's something else I need to talk to you about. There's a clandestine group of private businessmen like yourself who were informed of the Stargate program over six years ago by rogue elements of the NID. We've tried to identify them and bring them down but they are very highly connected. Former Vice President Kinsey's been linked to them. Now, instead of going public like you, they've been funding various secret endeavours, all aimed at controlling alien technology for their own purposes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Which are?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You'd have to ask them. Personal profit. Maybe they think they can do a better job of defending the planet than we can.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Why are you telling me all this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Because I'm guessing that's who tried to kill you. They'll never get control of the gate if the world finds out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Colson sit at the top of the platform steps.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
When I was young, all I ever dreamed about was flying. I had every make of aeroplane ever built hanging from my ceiling. And then&hellip;well, I take it you know about my wife and daughter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
One of the down sides of celebrity. We really do have no secrets. Anyway, after the crash I vowed to make flying as safe as it possibly could be. I really thought that I could do it better than anyone else.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
But you have made a difference.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
But nothing's perfect, is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Intergalactic travel. Advanced alien civilisations, humans living on other worlds? I do realise that there may be bad guys out there too.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You have no idea how bad.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
But in the end, we have to believe in humanity. I mean, who knows, this might bring us all together as a planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
If we knew it would play out that way, then....</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
You're afraid that knowing about the Stargate would fracture the world more than it already is.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah. Not just stop us fighting the Goa'uld but end things for good. We've seen it happen on other planets like Earth. In one case, public revelation of the Stargate caused an apocalyptic world war.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
That would be the ultimate irony, wouldn't it. You secretly save the world from destruction at the hands of alien invaders only for us to destroy ourselves out of fear, after the fact.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Change your mind?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Not really. I don't think it would happen.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson stands and walks to the Stargate, gesturing at it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
And if a truth of this magnitude, about the very nature of human existence, could lead us to destroy ourselves? Then I'd say we would deserve it. Wouldn't you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;STARGATE WORMHOLE'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is watching television, where Donovan is reporting.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
Investigators now believe that Alec Colson created the alien hoax in order to divert attention from his real corporate financial problems.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Colson enter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
Colson, who has still made no public statement...</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel turns off the television.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Corporate financial problems? What's she talking about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The story broke about an hour ago. The President's halted trading on the markets. Your company's stock had fallen eighty percent, the Dow was down over 500 points on the whole. </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What's going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The SEC is investigating you for securities fraud.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
That's ridiculous!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They're saying there were irregularities in your company's last two financial statements.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Well, it's not true! Come on! The timing of this&hellip;I'm being set up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;COLSON'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Vogler is sitting on a sofa, drinking. Colson and Carter enter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
What's she doing here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
She wants to help, Brian.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Oh, good. Why? Does she have a time machine so that we can go back and undo everything?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson sits in an armchair next to Vogler.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Brian. Brian, what's going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
You wouldn't listen. You wouldn't stop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vogler stands, angry and upset.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
So you admit you did this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
You go off on your adventures, you fly your planes, you drop by every now and then with a bright idea. Ever since we were kids you were always biting off more than you can chew, and I'm always having to bail you out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
So you doctored the books?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson stands, angry.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
I had to. I had to do something. I told you, we were over extended. The stock price was the only thing keeping us afloat, and you wouldn't listen.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
No, I don't believe this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Alec, who&hellip;who do you think told the SEC?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Why? Why now? What difference could it make, Brian, once the truth came out...</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Alec, I almost died in that plane too! I still have a family. They tried to kill us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Who?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Did you really think that they were gonna let you tell a secret like this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Brian, what are you talking about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
They call themselves the Trust.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson looks over at Carter, who looks uncomfortable. Vogler, who is almost in tears, sits.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Look, all I know is they're very powerful. And, they think that Washington abdicated its duty to protect the planet, maybe even caused the problem in the first place. They see it as their responsibility to step in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson sits in front of Vogler.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
We can fix this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
It's too late, it's done. It can't be undone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Brian, we'll both go to jail.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Yeah, but my family will be safe.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
What about the rest of the people that work for this company? What about their families?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Why weren't you thinking about them three days ago?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How did they know? How did the people who threatened you know that you'd cooked the books? How did they know that there would be enough to indict both you and Alec?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vogler doesn't respond. Colson looks at Carter and Vogler, pondering.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
They got to you six months ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vogler is in tears.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Alec, they knew what you had. Don't ask me how. They had to make sure they could stop you. You were wrong, Alec.<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
You were not&hellip;this shouldn't come out. The world's not ready.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson walks over to Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
There must be something we can do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You signed false financial statements.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I mean about the people who tried to kill us!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
All I know is that they operate above the law and that they've threatened people's lives before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Then we have to bring them down.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We've tried, believe me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Well, we have to try again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson looks over at Vogler, who sighs, hopeless.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and SG-1 exit an elevator.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So, Colson's convinced Vogler to arrange a meeting with his contact and wear a wire. Hopefully, we'll get enough to connect him to the rogue NID and then flip him for someone bigger. We're co-ordinating with Agent Barrett.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
At the very least it may restore Colson's public image.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC O'NEILL'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[They enter the office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well yeah, especially if it turns out that someone in direct corporate competition with Colson Industries was pulling the strings.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill sits behind his desk, Daniel and Carter sit in chairs in front of him and Teal'c leans against a desk.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Unfortunately, without further evidence, Brian Vogler's word alone isn't going to be enough to undo all the damage already done to the company.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
What of Brian Vogler's safety?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
He's under close surveillance. His family's been taken into protective custody.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, I guess the secret is safe&hellip;again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
For now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The phone rings.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(into phone)<br/><br />
O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to Daniel)<br/><br />
You know, I wouldn't count Colson out just yet. He still feels really strongly that the world should know the truth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(into phone)<br/><br />
Alright, thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill puts down the phone.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Surveillance just found Brian Vogler, dead, in his bathroom.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What? How?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
He hanged himself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter, Teal'c and Daniel look shocked and upset.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;COLSON'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter enters and walks up to Colson who is sitting on a sofa, holding a handgun. Carter sighs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Alec?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter pauses as she sees the gun, then goes to sit next to Colson.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm so sorry about Brian.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I killed him. I might as well have put the gun against his head and pulled the trigger myself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You couldn't have known.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
You saw how scared he was. I know what his family meant to him. He was never going to do anything to put them in any danger.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter glances at the weapon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Alec.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
He was my best friend.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
He betrayed you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
No. I betrayed him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson raises the gun in emphasis.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Why don't you put the gun down.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson looks at the weapon and sighs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
My life's over, Sam. Everything I worked for, everything I believed in, held to be true...</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Still exists. Apparently, Congress is looking into providing relief. The companies, the employees will survive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
While I go to jail for something I didn't do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Back on the Alpha site you said, no matter what, you would rather make whatever time you had left meaningful. I'm here to give you that chance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
How? By making all the indictments against me just disappear?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I was thinking more along the lines of making you disappear.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
The problem with a guy like me, no place on Earth I can hide.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Who's talking about Earth?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Oh, no. No, I couldn't let you do that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Believe me, I wouldn't be here without the approval of my superiors. The President wasn't responsible for what happened to you but he's also not sorry that you were publicly discredited. Please, Alec, come with me. You can still make a difference. He who fights and runs away...</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson puts down the gun.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Lives to fight another day. And no-one will ever know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Welcome to my world.</blockquote><br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Once you walk through that door, there's no turning back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Oh, I understand, Brian. I'm not having any doubts.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vogler and Colson walk through the office. Colson picks up a jacket and puts it on.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Alec, it is not just your credibility at stake here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
You're right, there. It's the leaders of the democratic free world should be worried.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson walks into an elevator.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Think about the people who work for this company. The shareholders.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I am, Brian. They have a right to know the truth, as does everybody else.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vogler joins Colson in the elevator.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Trust me, we're doing the right thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The doors close.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PRESS CONFERENCE'''<br />
<br />
[A large number of reporters and cameramen are gathered in the room. Colson enters, acknowledging people and shaking hands. He and Vogler step up to a podium where a number of microphones are set up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Thank you all for coming. As you all know, about five months ago our planet suffered a horrible tragedy. Over two thousand American servicemen and women were killed when a meteor shower disrupted global communications and hit a United States Naval Carrier Group on manoeuvres in the Pacific Ocean. I'm here today to challenge the facts of that incident as they've been conveyed to the general public.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The people present murmur, surprised at Colson's speech.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC DANIEL'S LAB'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is watching the press conference on television.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
On the day in question, none of our satellites detected a meteor shower.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hey, what's going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Shh, sh, sh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter leans on the desk, watching the television.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Now, I don't know how many governments around the world are in on this, but I do know we are being lied to and the truth is being covered up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh, oh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks at Daniel as he grimaces.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Ladies and gentlemen. There is life beyond our world. There are aliens out there and they have a technology far beyond ours and they have been intervening in our existence for quite some time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and Carter look at each other.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I have proof, and I am giving the governments of all the nations that are aware of this, 24 hours to reveal the truth&hellip;or I'm gonna do it for them. Thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson leaves the podium.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well. There you go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel smiles mirthlessly.]<br />
<br />
'''END TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter, Teal'c and Daniel are watching a TV report by Julia Donovan about Colson.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
For those of you living on another planet for the past 20 years, Alec Colson, age 42. Net worth, over sixty billion dollars, runs a global empire of companies including communications, biotechnology, aerospace and aviation. He's number eight on the Fortune 500.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill enters the briefing room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>REPORTER<br/><br />
He personally holds over 200 proprietary patents in both the military and domestic industries.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Shut it off.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns off the television.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We know who he is.<br/><br />
(to Carter, pointedly)<br/><br />
Some of us better than others.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We worked together briefly, sir. Colson Aviation developed the multi engine control systems for the F-302s. Colson didn't know what they were for, of course, but he is a brilliant engineer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
He's also a little nuts, isn't he?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You've test flown experimental aircraft.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We all go through the gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
This isn't about us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, in a way, it is.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The point is, sir, he's not some looney cult leader. People are taking him seriously.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So, what do we think he knows?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill opens a file containing a photograph of Colson, in flying gear.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
He owns several Earth observer and weather satellites. Maybe it's possible they picked something up. Pictures of Anubis' fleet in orbit, or the battle over Antarctica.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What I don't understand is how it could have come this far.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill reads from the file.]<br />

His personality was profiled and he was deemed a security risk.</blockquote><br />

For obvious reasons.</blockquote><br />

Apparently his father was a newspaper reporter who was jailed during the McCarthy era. He believes pretty strongly in the freedom of speech and the rights of the people to know what the government is doing at all times.</blockquote><br />

Leaking classified information could be considered treason.</blockquote><br />

Alright, see if he can be convinced not to go public.</blockquote><br />

Why don't we start with something I'm sure we can all agree on, hmmm?</blockquote><br />

[Vogler, Carter and Daniel follow Colson, who turns on the television.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
That meteor shower was a cover story, and a surprisingly weak one at that. Although under the circumstances, I'm not so sure I'd have come up with a better one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What makes you say that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson shows a recording of Anubis' fleet in orbit over Earth, followed by images of a space battle and finally, the Prometheus. Daniel and Carter look uncomfortable.]<br />

Oh! I'm guessing that's one of ours?</blockquote><br />

We lost contact with twelve communications and weather mapping satellites for over six hours on the day in question. When we got them back online they were able to transmit images stored in the buffers.</blockquote><br />

Very smart people. Oh, we have more than this.</blockquote><br />

Come on, Sam. Colson's going to out the whole operation. You don't really think Washington can contain this?</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
I'm trying to convince him it's not too late.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
It is too late, Brian. Too late for the world to know there was a large scale alien attack against our planet which was barely thwarted. Too late for the general public to realise they've been lied to, by two different elected administrations, about the very nature of our existence.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I was really hoping the Feds would come clean.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
I can't believe Washington hasn't done more to try and stop us. Some sort of legal injunction.</blockquote><br />
<br />

That would legitimise our claims. No, no, they're obviously going to try to play this as if we can't be taken seriously.</blockquote><br />

Yesterday, I told you of our belief in the existence of intelligent life beyond our planet. I also told you that we believe several governments, including our own, have known about this and have been concealing the information for quite some time now.

How do I know for sure that alien life really does exist? Ladies and gentlemen, seeing is believing.</blockquote><br />

Looked like one.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Didn't sound like one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Didn't say anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's my point. Colson wrapped things up pretty quickly without taking any questions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It was a perfect likeness.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Imagery of little grey aliens has been commonplace on Earth for years. For that matter, Colson could have a picture.</blockquote><br />

No Asgard we know would allow himself to be used that way.</blockquote><br />

We were trying to help with their cloning problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Colson grew a clone?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They weren't told it was alien DNA, it was meant to be a blind study. But they obviously took their research a little further than the contract specified.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Asgard DNA is programmed to grow a clone to maturity in just three months. But they're essentially an empty shell until an existing consciousness can be transferred into them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It did not speak because it was not capable.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Exactly. They probably spent what time they had with it teaching it how to walk.</blockquote><br />

Well, first of all, I can assure people that if aliens really existed, and were visiting the planet, we would know about it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
So, are you saying his claims have no merit? We all saw an alien on live television.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Are you okay?</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
News travels fast. It was close. Brian's still as white as a sheet.</blockquote><br />

'''INT&mdash;TV STUDIOES'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How did you get this number?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Oh, I have my sources. You know, the ground crew here found evidence the plane had been tampered with.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vogler prepares himself a drink.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Someone tried to kill you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Seems that way. Any ideas?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You think I know? Why would I go on TV to publicly discredit you if I knew you were about to be assassinated?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
To make sure it didn't look like Washington had anything to do with it. A fine job you did too, by the way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm sorry, I was following orders.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Yeah, I know. Don't worry, Sam. I don't believe for a second you were in on it. If it was our government I'm sure you were just a pawn.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That doesn't make me feel any better. Look, Alec, I can assure you that...</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
It's okay, it's okay, it wasn't my first rough landing, I'm sure it won't be my last. I won't be stopped, Sam. I promise you, one way or another, the world is gonna learn the truth.</blockquote><br />

'''INT&mdash;SGC O'NEILL'S OFFICE'''<br />

<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Um, how about a hyperdrive for the Prometheus?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Thor and Daniel are sitting in front of the desk. Daniel is making notes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
That is something I must discuss with the High Council.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Thor, come on! You said you wanted to get something nice for the President.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, anything on who might have tried to kill Colson?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It wasn't us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We think that Colson may have fragments of downed Goa'uld ships recovered from the Antarctic. A subsidiary of his was involved in the salvage and the clean up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Are we just going to keep trying to discredit the man? I mean, aren't we the ones a little delusional to think that we could cover up an attack of this scale?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What's the alternative?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How about tell the truth?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and Thor look at Carter, surprised. Daniel and O'Neill look at each other, puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I mean to Colson. Look, I know he's been profiled and deemed a security risk and obviously that's an accurate assessment but what have we got to lose at this point? He's already trying to go public, let's show him why it's so important to keep the secret. Besides, think of the benefits of having a man with his resources on our side. </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, Thor and I are meeting with the President in five minutes. I'll bring it up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Five minutes?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill grins at Thor, as they are both beamed away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She looks at Daniel, who just shrugs.]<br />
<br />
Back with Colson<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;COLSON'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Two o'clock, we go live. With the pictures, pieces of the alien ship, everything we've got.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Alec! They tried to kill us!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
You think that didn't work in our favour?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
(loudly)<br/><br />
Dying doesn't work in our favour!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly, Colson is beamed out of the office. Vogler and the female staffer stand in shock.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Colson materialises in the room, with Thor. As Colson sees Thor, he steps back in shock.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Okay. What just happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Daniel walk towards them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, in layman's terms, we beamed you up and then down again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Where am I?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Cheyenne Mountain Complex, Colorado. You know Daniel, of course.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson and Daniel shake hands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Yeah, hi.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter gestures to Thor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And this is Thor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Greetings.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Ah, so this is a real one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yep.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
What happened to the clone?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
It will become a host to an Asgard consciousness whose physical body is failing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>THOR<br/><br />
Now, I must take my leave. General O'Neill said he will see you all tomorrow.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Thor is beamed away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Huh&hellip;wha?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I want to show you something.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter opens the blast doors at the window, to show the Stargate. Colson comes to stand next to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We call it a Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC VIP ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Colson is on the phone.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I'm okay, Brian. I promise you, I'm fine. I'll be back in a couple of days.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[There is a knock at the door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I've got to go. Alright, bye.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson puts down the phone as Carter enters the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Ready?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Wow! Look at you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, soldier Sam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I get a uniform too?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yep.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter throws a bundled up uniform to Colson.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Alright!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The gate is dialling out. Colson enters, joining Carter at the base of the ramp. As the Stargate activates, Colson steps back as the event horizon whooshes out. Carter smiles and starts up the ramp.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Whoa! So, where are we going?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson follows Carter onto the ramp.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
P4X-650. We have an offworld base there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
And how far away is that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
640 light years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They stop at the event horizon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Really?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Let's go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They walk through the gate, and travel through the wormhole.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ALPHA SITE GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[They step out of the gate into a large building. Colson looks at the gate as it shuts down. He looks at Carter in amazement.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Didn't feel a thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You were de-molecularised.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[An officer walks up to them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CAPTAIN<br/><br />
Welcome to the Alpha site.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson and Carter step down from the Stargate platform.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Alec Colson. Captain Sheffield.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson and Sheffield shake hands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Well it's&hellip;it's nice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Our last Alpha site was destroyed in an attack. We decided to build this one inside a mountain, like the SGC.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHEFFIELD<br/><br />
This is all a bit spartan but it's our home away from home.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I guess I was just expecting something a little more, I don't know, otherworldly?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter opens blast doors, to show an F-302 in a hangar. Colson steps into the hangar, but stops in amazement.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Now that&hellip;that's more like it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's called the F-302. Alien-human hybrid.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They walk towards the aircraft.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
So this is what the MECs were for?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, thanks to you it's capable of leaving the atmosphere and returning. We used a number of these to defend Earth five months ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson reaches up to touch the aircraft.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This is just one of the many advancements we've made as a result of technology procured through the Stargate. You wanna take a ride?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson smiles and nods.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;COLSON'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Vogler is in the office, standing at a terminal with a disc in his hand. The woman, noticing that he is there, enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FEMALE STAFFER<br/><br />
Brian, what are you doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Alec wants all the evidence that we have about the alien cover-up duplicated, and secured off premises. You can get started on whatever we have left on the clone research.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FEMALE STAFFER<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The woman leaves just as Vogler's mobile rings. Vogler check that no-one is in the office, then answers it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
(into phone)<br/><br />
Vogler. I told you, I don't know where he is. I have a meeting with the SEC this afternoon. I understand. Don't worry, it'll work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vogler, looking worried, ends the call.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ALPHA SITE HANGAR'''<br />
<br />
[The F-302 leaves the hangar.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;F-302'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is flying the plane, with Colson in the rear seat.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Beautiful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Must be hard, keeping all this secret. I don't know how you do it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I think of all the fear it would cause, the potential chaos.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Ah, but what about all the greater meaning you could bring to people's lives? Just knowing that all this is out here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What's out here is an enemy so advanced, so evil, it's a miracle we haven't been wiped out or enslaved yet. We've been very lucky so far. I think most people would have a hard time living with the threat of constant impending doom.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Oh, right, the old if you had cancer argument. Would you want to know you were gonna die, or would you rather live out your final days in blissful ignorance?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, I guess I don't really buy it either.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Well, I'd rather know, and try to cure it. If I couldn't do that, then I'd try to make my final days as meaningful as possible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You want a turn?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I thought I was going to have to ask.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Switching to co-pilot control. Go ahead, she's all yours.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson takes control of the aircraft and flies into a roll.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So, what do you think?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Amazing! She manoeuvres like an F-822, and feels like a 747.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods in agreement.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's the inertial dampeners.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Alright, let's try this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He dives the plane sharply to the ground. A number of alarms start ringing and a main engine rocket fuel warning flashes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Alec! Alec, pull up!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter takes control of the plane and, as the aircraft skims treetops, she pulls it up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ALPHA CONTROL<br/><br />
(over radio)<br/><br />
Flight, this is Alpha Command. Is everything okay up there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It is now, we're fine. Bringing her back in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter shakes her head and sighs.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ALPHA SITE HANGAR'''<br />
<br />
[The plane is brought into the hangar. Carter and Colson take off their helmets as the cockpit cover slides open.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, that was reckless.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Ah, the 302 can handle it. I know. I may not have known its name but I helped you build it, remember?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It was a joy ride. I took you up for a little fun.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter steps out of her seat.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
This isn't a game, Sam! What you guys are doing up here? This is life and death, for all of us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We know that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
It wasn't much fun feeling out of control like that, was it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You don't have to make your point with my life.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Oh, come on! We were never gonna crash. Unlike my plane back on Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I told you. We had nothing to do with it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Yeah, well, someone did. And if you think that, or any of this, is gonna prevent me from telling the world what they have a right to know. You're dead wrong.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ALPHA SITE GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Colson is studying the Stargate. Carter steps up on to the platform.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Alec. There's something else I need to talk to you about. There's a clandestine group of private businessmen like yourself who were informed of the Stargate program over six years ago by rogue elements of the NID. We've tried to identify them and bring them down but they are very highly connected. Former Vice President Kinsey's been linked to them. Now, instead of going public like you, they've been funding various secret endeavours, all aimed at controlling alien technology for their own purposes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Which are?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You'd have to ask them. Personal profit. Maybe they think they can do a better job of defending the planet than we can.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Why are you telling me all this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Because I'm guessing that's who tried to kill you. They'll never get control of the gate if the world finds out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Colson sit at the top of the platform steps.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
When I was young, all I ever dreamed about was flying. I had every make of aeroplane ever built hanging from my ceiling. And then&hellip;well, I take it you know about my wife and daughter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
One of the down sides of celebrity. We really do have no secrets. Anyway, after the crash I vowed to make flying as safe as it possibly could be. I really thought that I could do it better than anyone else.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
But you have made a difference.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
But nothing's perfect, is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Intergalactic travel. Advanced alien civilisations, humans living on other worlds? I do realise that there may be bad guys out there too.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You have no idea how bad.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
But in the end, we have to believe in humanity. I mean, who knows, this might bring us all together as a planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
If we knew it would play out that way, then....</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
You're afraid that knowing about the Stargate would fracture the world more than it already is.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah. Not just stop us fighting the Goa'uld but end things for good. We've seen it happen on other planets like Earth. In one case, public revelation of the Stargate caused an apocalyptic world war.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
That would be the ultimate irony, wouldn't it. You secretly save the world from destruction at the hands of alien invaders only for us to destroy ourselves out of fear, after the fact.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Change your mind?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Not really. I don't think it would happen.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson stands and walks to the Stargate, gesturing at it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
And if a truth of this magnitude, about the very nature of human existence, could lead us to destroy ourselves? Then I'd say we would deserve it. Wouldn't you?</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>DONOVAN<br/><br />
Colson, who has still made no public statement...</blockquote><br />

[Daniel turns off the television.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Corporate financial problems? What's she talking about?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The story broke about an hour ago. The President's halted trading on the markets. Your company's stock had fallen eighty percent, the Dow was down over 500 points on the whole. </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What's going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The SEC is investigating you for securities fraud.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
That's ridiculous!</blockquote><br />

They're saying there were irregularities in your company's last two financial statements.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
She wants to help, Brian.</blockquote><br />

Oh, good. Why? Does she have a time machine so that we can go back and undo everything?</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Brian. Brian, what's going on?</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
You wouldn't listen. You wouldn't stop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vogler stands, angry and upset.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
So you admit you did this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
You go off on your adventures, you fly your planes, you drop by every now and then with a bright idea. Ever since we were kids you were always biting off more than you can chew, and I'm always having to bail you out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
So you doctored the books?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson stands, angry.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
I had to. I had to do something. I told you, we were over extended. The stock price was the only thing keeping us afloat, and you wouldn't listen.</blockquote><br />
<br />

No, I don't believe this.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
They call themselves the Trust.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson looks over at Carter, who looks uncomfortable. Vogler, who is almost in tears, sits.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />
Look, all I know is they're very powerful. And, they think that Washington abdicated its duty to protect the planet, maybe even caused the problem in the first place. They see it as their responsibility to step in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson sits in front of Vogler.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
We can fix this.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Why weren't you thinking about them three days ago?</blockquote><br />

How did they know? How did the people who threatened you know that you'd cooked the books? How did they know that there would be enough to indict both you and Alec?</blockquote><br />

They got to you six months ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Vogler is in tears.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOGLER<br/><br />

You were not&hellip;this shouldn't come out. The world's not ready.</blockquote><br />

[Colson walks over to Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
There must be something we can do.</blockquote><br />

You signed false financial statements.</blockquote><br />
<br />

I mean about the people who tried to kill us!</blockquote><br />
<br />

All I know is that they operate above the law and that they've threatened people's lives before.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We've tried, believe me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Well, we have to try again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson looks over at Vogler, who sighs, hopeless.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and SG-1 exit an elevator.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So, Colson's convinced Vogler to arrange a meeting with his contact and wear a wire. Hopefully, we'll get enough to connect him to the rogue NID and then flip him for someone bigger. We're co-ordinating with Agent Barrett.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
At the very least it may restore Colson's public image.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC O'NEILL'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[They enter the office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well yeah, especially if it turns out that someone in direct corporate competition with Colson Industries was pulling the strings.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill sits behind his desk, Daniel and Carter sit in chairs in front of him and Teal'c leans against a desk.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Unfortunately, without further evidence, Brian Vogler's word alone isn't going to be enough to undo all the damage already done to the company.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
What of Brian Vogler's safety?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
He's under close surveillance. His family's been taken into protective custody.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, I guess the secret is safe&hellip;again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
For now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The phone rings.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(into phone)<br/><br />
O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to Daniel)<br/><br />
You know, I wouldn't count Colson out just yet. He still feels really strongly that the world should know the truth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(into phone)<br/><br />
Alright, thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill puts down the phone.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Surveillance just found Brian Vogler, dead, in his bathroom.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What? How?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
He hanged himself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter, Teal'c and Daniel look shocked and upset.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;COLSON'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter enters and walks up to Colson who is sitting on a sofa, holding a handgun. Carter sighs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Alec?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter pauses as she sees the gun, then goes to sit next to Colson.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm so sorry about Brian.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
I killed him. I might as well have put the gun against his head and pulled the trigger myself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You couldn't have known.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
You saw how scared he was. I know what his family meant to him. He was never going to do anything to put them in any danger.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter glances at the weapon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Alec.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
He was my best friend.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
He betrayed you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
No. I betrayed him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson raises the gun in emphasis.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Why don't you put the gun down.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson looks at the weapon and sighs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
My life's over, Sam. Everything I worked for, everything I believed in, held to be true...</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Still exists. Apparently, Congress is looking into providing relief. The companies, the employees will survive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
While I go to jail for something I didn't do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Back on the Alpha site you said, no matter what, you would rather make whatever time you had left meaningful. I'm here to give you that chance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
How? By making all the indictments against me just disappear?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I was thinking more along the lines of making you disappear.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
The problem with a guy like me, no place on Earth I can hide.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Who's talking about Earth?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Oh, no. No, I couldn't let you do that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Believe me, I wouldn't be here without the approval of my superiors. The President wasn't responsible for what happened to you but he's also not sorry that you were publicly discredited. Please, Alec, come with me. You can still make a difference. He who fights and runs away...</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Colson puts down the gun.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COLSON<br/><br />
Lives to fight another day. And no-one will ever know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Welcome to my world.</blockquote><br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;ALIEN FOREST'''<br />
<br />
[A lone Jaffa walks through the forest. He anxiously looks around, starting at every sound he hears.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Right, hold it, right there!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill appears from a bush behind the Jaffa, weapon raised and aimed at the Jaffa. Carter and Daniel approach him from other angles, their weapons also aimed at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hey!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RYK'L<br/><br />
I am Ryk'l, of the Goa'uld Moloc.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c approaches him and they stand face to face. O'Neill keeps a watchful eye on the surroundings as they talk.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RYK'L<br/><br />
Shal'kek nem'ron.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I too will die free, brother.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He offers his hand in friendship, which Reiku accepts.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RYK'L<br/><br />
Teal'c of the Tau'ri, your legend proceeds you. Thank you for meeting me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We have been told that there are many here who believe in the dream of freedom for all Jaffa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A staff weapon blast suddenly hits Reiku in the back, killing him instantly, and SG-1 take up defensive positions behind a rock amid a barrage of blasts. Several Jaffa come out into the clearing, and a fire fight ensues between them and SG-1. Then a huge wave of staff weapon fire comes from the left of SG-1, aimed at the attacking Jaffa. O'Neill and Daniel look to where it is coming from with puzzled faces, as the fire destroys the Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(to Teal'c)<br/><br />
More rebel Jaffa?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
There is only one way to be certain.<br/><br />
(shouting)<br/><br />
Shal'kek Nem'ron!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 look into the smoke drifting past where they weapons fire came from.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Shal'kek Nem'ron!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 raise their weapons as they detect movement. 2 female Jaffa emerge from the smoke, staff weapons in the hands. The first woman speaks, gently.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
Warriors of the Tau'ri, we mean you no harm.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Another female warrior joins them. Daniel looks on as three others join the group, making a total of six.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
Please, come with us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and O'Neill narrow their eyes, as if considering their request.]<br />
<br />
'''END TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;ALIEN FOREST'''<br />
<br />
[A glider swoops overhead, as the female warriors and SG-1 are still in the clearing. Both O'Neill and Teal'c look up at the sound of the glider.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
(to the female standing next to her)<br/><br />
Shal'kek, tal'kree.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The warrior standing next to her leaves.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
(To SG-1)<br/><br />
The stargate will not be accessible for long, we must hurry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The other female kneels beside one of the wounded Jaffa, and takes out a canister. She removes the symbiote from the Jaffa, placing it in the canister. SG-1 look on, horrified.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What's she doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
There's no time to explain here, please come with us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
Kel ma lek!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
Kree shak nel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
They're outsiders.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
They are SG-1 of the Tau'ri.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(quietly, to Teal'c)<br/><br />
Hey, what's going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(gesturing to Mala)<br/><br />
This one believes we should return to her planet, that one believes it would not be wise.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
Please, we knew you'd be here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
How?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
Our intelligence network runs deep within the Jaffa of Moloc. We came to ask for help. I promise you will be safe.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well they did save us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and SG-1 exchange glances, as if assessing the situation.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;WORMHOLE'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;ALIEN PLANET'''<br />
<br />
[A group of four Jaffa women, two on horseback, are by the gate, and greeting the returning party of Jaffa and SG-1.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
Welcome to Ha'ktyl.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel leans over to Teal'c]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Independence?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Liberation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
Our dwellings are this way, please.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah, y'know, we really should call home first, let the folks know where we are. It's past our curfew.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
By all means.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill nods to Carter, who is standing just behind him. She moves off to dial home.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
(to Mala)<br/><br />
Why have we brought them here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
Because that was our mission.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
(with slight aggravation in her voice)<br/><br />
Why was I not told?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and Teal'c pick up on the uneasiness between Neith and Mala and exchange concerned looks.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
Because we know you would disagree. Go ahead, tell Ishta of our success.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She mounts one of the horses, and rides off to the settlement. SG-1 watch her leave.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;A'KTYL'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 and the Jaffa party are walking through a field, with a line of trees behind them. Carter is a few paces in front, with Daniel, Teal'c and O'Neill walking in a line behind her. Jaffa make up the front and rear of the group.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So, Teal'c, who are they?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
My knowledge of the Goa'uld Moloc is limited. However, I am unaware of any Goa'uld who would permit his women jaffa to be warriors.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They seem to be well trained.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
All females receive training. They are expected to defend their home world with their lives if their men are called to battle.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I can't help but think of the ancient Greek amazon mythos.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes. Me too.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They were female warriors who occasionally captured men from other tribes in order to mate with them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks back at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Would often, um, would sometimes remove their right breasts so they could more easily fire a bow and arrow.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I see neither bow nor arrow.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Wait, you don't s'pose that's why they want us, do you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks at O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You know, the three of us. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He gestures to Daniel, Teal'c and himself.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
To&hellip;to mate with? No, no, I don't think so.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
'Cos you know me, I'm all for helping people.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(laughing)<br/><br />
Oh God!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They walk into a campsite. There are a few large tents around the outside, some women are cooking over open fires. Some young children see them, and run away. All the women they pass eye them with distrust. Mala leads them to a large tent in the middle of the settlement.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
You must forgive them, for many of the young this is the first time they have seen men.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A young woman, about thirteen, and an older woman watch SG-1 carefully. O'Neill looks around. A woman comes out of the main tent. She looks proud and solemn, with the look of a leader.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
This is Ishta, our leader.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ishta walks down the steps from her tent, and Neith comes out of the tent after her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well howdy Ma'am, it's nice to meet you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She walks straight past him, to Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I've heard so&hellip;actually I've heard nothing about you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He trails off and she stands opposite Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Teal'c, of Chulak. Former First Prime of Apophis. Shol'va who has become a legend.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill leans over to Daniel, who is standing next to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Bit thick don't you think?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel ignores this comment.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(to Ishta)<br/><br />
I am no legend. I fight, as any true hearted Jaffa, for the freedom that we deserve.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He bows his head, and Ishta returns the nod. He then gestures to his team.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
This is Daniel Jackson, Major Carter, and Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ishta goes over and stands in front of them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hello.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
I have asked you here so that I may propose an alliance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's a fine idea. We should sit, talk, nosh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
No alliance can be formed between the Tau'ri and those who would steal symbiotes from their brother and leave him to die.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
He was no brother of mine. Just a murderer of innocent children!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Shal kree!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Neith folds her arms, but bites her tongue.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
There is much to discuss.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She gestures, and a young woman comes and joins her, her head bowed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
This is Synak. This morning she laid on her deathbed. She reached the age of Prata three days ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hmm?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Puberty.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Without the symbiote we procured this morning, she would be dead now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She gestures again, and the young woman seen before comes forward, obviously wary. She comes and stands on the other side of Ishta.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
This is Nesa. Younger sister to Neith. She is next to reach the age. Without a symbiote, she will die.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[There is a pause as the seriousness of the situation sinks in.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
As will all our children.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ISHTA'S TENT'''<br />
<br />
[Ishta sits a little higher than everyone else. Neith is sitting on her right side, Mala on her left. Carter sits opposite.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Thirty years ago, Moloc decreed that only male children would be allowed to live. Only they could strengthen his armies and lead him to victory in the war of the gods.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, aside from the obvious immorality, that doesn't make sense. How do you sustain a population of any gender without women?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
The Jaffa lifespan is longer than humans. This could go on for a hundred years. Any female child is to be sacrificed in the ceremony of fire, immediately after they're born.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They're burned to death?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HA'KTYL'''<br />
<br />
[Settlement life continues around SG-1. O'Neill, Teal'c and Daniel wait for Carter to come out. Daniel opens a power bar.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well this is a bit&hellip;odd.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Maybe they just feel more comfortable talking to Sam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why, because we have penises?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel coughs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Power bar?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, thanks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He takes the bar off Daniel.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ISHTA'S TENT'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So how did you start bringing them here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
As a temple high priestess, part of my duty is to keep record of births. And to preside over the ceremony of fire itself.<br/><br />
(barely containing her anger)<br/><br />
I could not sit back and watch my sisters being murdered and do nothing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
As high priestess I, along with my seconds Mala and Neith, are allowed relatively free access to the Chappa'ai of the worlds under Moloc's rule.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No one outside this camp knows you're doing this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
No. Our duties require us to attend to many missionary matters on various planets.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So you offer the parents of these children a chance for their daughters to live.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
All but a few Jaffa under Moloc worship him religiously. Not even the parents can be trusted. The children have to be spiritied away, secretly, for fear of being reported to the Imperial Guard.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
It is punishable by death to even question the rules of the god.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Over the moons we have succeeded in saving many from their birthright of death.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So you want our help to overthrow Moloc?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ishta and Neith exchange glances, Ishta starts to smile.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
We may have underestimated you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We've gone after Goa'ulds before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Moloc is very powerful. His armies are vasts.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We have our ways. And some very powerful allies.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Forgive us, but our immediate goals are somewhat less ambitious.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
It is an ongoing struggle to procure the symbiotes needed for our young to survive. We lost many of our warriors in these raids. It is said your weapons are formidable.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
We also require sustenance. Food and supplies among our growing population are scarce.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
We are proud warriors. We offer you our services and our knowledge in return. We have an extensive intelligence network among the Jaffa under Moloc.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter smiles slightly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What if I were to offer you an alternative.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ishta cocks her head quizzically]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
An alternative to what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
To your reliance on the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Neith, Ishta, and Mala exchange glances.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HA'KTYL'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 discuss Carter's conversation inside the tent.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Tretonin?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We've had success with it so far.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
On all two test subjects.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It hasn't been easy. Jaffa won't willingly give up their symbiotes, despite the fact it could ultimately free them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Jaffa believe they will be weaker without them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
That's centuries of Goa'uld brainwashing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Will these women do it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Thinking about it. They've suffered some horrible atrocities at the hands of the Jaffa who serve Moloc. It's easy to see why they don't have a problem killing a few of them to survive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
A Jaffa is taught it is more noble to die than to kill another.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Teal'c, these children have been genetically altered to depend on symbiotes and then has all access to them taken away. Their guardians believe that this is the only way for them to survive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Then they will have to see that there is another way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He leaves. O'Neill calls after him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Give them the old Teal'c charm!</blockquote><br />
<br />

[Several sculptures, similar to dream catchers, hang from branches around a clearing in the wood. Teal'c approaches, staff weapon in hand, and stops to look at one of the sculptures.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
It means courage.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ishta is standing behind him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Each design represents an ideal that no warrior should ever forget. </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Impressive that I did not sense your approach.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Is not stealthiness one of the first talents taught to a Jaffa soldier?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c turns to look at her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
With varying degrees of success.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
You wish to talk me into succumbing to this experiment?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Come, walk with me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They walk together into the clearing.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Have you really the belief that this&hellip;tretonin is our way to freedom?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
If it is successful it may be the first step. As long as Jaffa require symbiotes we will continue to be enslaved by the Goa'uld. The benefit a symbiote provides is not a Jaffa's true strength. And we as a people must begin to realise that sacrifices must be made if we are ever truly to be free. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[They enter the training ground. More sculptures hang from the branches above. the are four stands around the outside of the clearing, with wooden staff weapons leaning against them. It is obviously a site for practising hand to hand combat.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
This is where I come to kel-no-reem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c surveys the site.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Much of our tradition and our way of life has been designed to instil our dependence on the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
You believe it is wrong that we kill Jaffa merely that children to live, but what is war for but the preservation of our children? We do not engage the defenceless or the weak. We always fight with honour, and those that die do not die in vain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
One day you will come across a Jaffa scout party that will not so easily be ambushed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Then you doubt our abilities. Is that what this is about? You speak of progress, and shedding of the old ways, and yet you still think a woman needs your protection.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ishta walks over to one of the stands and picks up two wooden training staffs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
May your limbs be more nimble that your tongue.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She throws one of the staffs to Teal'c and takes up a defensive position.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
For your sake.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c looks at the staff, and takes off his jacket, ready for combat. Ishta removes her cloak. Ishta attacks, and Teal'c defends himself, with one hand behind his back. She lunges, and he ducks as her staff flies over his head. She continues the attack, with him rebuffing every move. Then he makes his attack, still only using one hand, with the other behind his back. Ishta defends herself well, twirling around to strike. Teal'c moves his staff up to block, and they lock staffs in mid air. Ishta suddenly falls to the ground, using her leg to trip Teal'c, who falls on his back. They both leap up, Ishta having dropped her staff and preferring to use her bare hands. She kicks him twice in the head, and grabs his staff.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Do not hold back or you will only anger me further!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c throws her off, and she does two back flips as he advances, picking up her staff blast on the last flip. They engage staffs again, Teal'c this time using both hands. The fight continues, with each having to defend as well as attack. Ishta's kicks manage to find their mark again, and she kicks him in the chest and head. He retaliates, grabbing both their staffs. Teal'c flips Ishta over his back, so thatshe is facing away from him. Before she can turn around, he grabs the staffs, forcing her into him and locking her there, the staffs against her throat.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You have proven yourself a worthy adversary, now hear me! If you say no to tretonin, it will only mean you have an unquenchable thirst for bloodshed and revenge, and that does not serve those who follow your leadership.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
I sense no symbiote in you</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She looks puzzled, then angry]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You are correct.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ishta grabs the staffs, and flips Teal'c over her back. He falls on his back on the ground.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
You take this drug yourself and then conceal it? Your actions betray your words! </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She goes to one of the sculptures, and tears it down from the branch it was hanging from. She tosses it to Teal'c who catches it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
That one means pride.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ishta leaves.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HA'KTYL VILLAGE'''<br />
<br />
[Ishta address her people from the steps of her tent. SG-1 listen to her words as well.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
No longer will we need to lose our sisters in battle. No longer will our daughters be dependent on symbiotes. Teal'c has taken the drug. He stands here before you as evidence. I am asking for four volunteers, to travel with me, to the Tau'ri, to test its effectiveness.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Several warriors begin looking around, or looking at floor, nervously. SG-1 look around as well. There are a few quiet murmurs, but no one steps forward.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Is that a pin dropping?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
You must not go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Mala, I have made my decision.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
Ha'ktyl needs you. You are our leader. I will go in your stead. It is my right as Kindra. You cannot say no.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ishta walks down to Mala.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
You are brave and true. </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FEMALE WARRIOR<br/><br />
I too will go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She and two other warriors step forward to join Mala. Ishta smiles slightly, then looks over to Neith, who is standing next to Nesa. Neith looks down at the ground. Ishta walks over to her, and looks at her, then Nesa.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Nesa is of the age.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
She is a child.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
I'm told it's not without risk. But if there is one among us-</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
(interrupting)<br/><br />
Never! That you would even consider this is an affront to all of us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Your words are disrespectful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Neith walks away, taking Nesa with her. Daniel watches with interest. Ishta closes her eyes briefly, then addresses the crowd.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
I cannot force her hand.<br/><br />
(to Mala)<br/><br />
I wish you well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Mala nods slowly.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill, Carter and the four volunteers emerge from an active wormhole. They are met by Hammond, standing at the base of the ramp.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Dr Jackson? Teal'c?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
As Teal'c would say, undomesticated equines couldn't drag him away.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The leader of the Ha'ktyl wanted to learn more about the rebel Jaffa. We figured we could send updates on the progress of the tretonin treatment to Daniel through the MALP.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Kind of a PR thing, Sir. </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(To the volunteers)<br/><br />
I'm General Hammond. Welcome to Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They nod in acknowledgement.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HA'KTYL'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Ishta walk through a grassy field.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
When you rose up against Apophis, did you leave behind someone that you loved?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
My son and I have been reunited. He has become a great warrior and travels with my mentor Bra'tac spreading word of our cause.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
And what of his mother? Does she sit at home, pining away for her hero?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
No, she is dead. </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
I am sorry Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You could not have known. She dies last year when her symbiote matured and she was unable to procure another.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
I see.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[Mala is lying in an infirmary bed, about to receive her first treatment.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
What of my symbiote?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
It's being sustained. We've developed methods of keeping a symbiote alive for some time. As far as the tretonin, finding the right amount is going to be somewhat trial and error. We'll keep increasing the dose until we get the desired effect.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Mala nods. Fraiser leaves, leaving Carter and Mala alone. Carter sits beside her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You're very brave.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
Not so much as you think.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HA'KTYL '''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Ishta continue their conversation.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The rebellion that I helped fuel has caused the Goa'uld to mistrust the Jaffa with their young.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
You are making a point?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I am speaking only of Drey'uac. She refused to take the life of another Jaffa, even to preserve her own. No matter what their beliefs may have been.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
What are your memories of her?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
She could be as fierce as the wind, or as gentle as the sunshine. And she never feared to be either. </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
You still love her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I will always have a place in my heart for her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[Carter and Mala continue their conversation.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
You are close to Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah. I like to think we have a special relationship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
I hope to one day have a special relationship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh! No, no it's not like that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
Like what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh, uh, we aren't, you know, we don't&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
I was speaking of the mutual respect you share.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I knew that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter coughs, embarrassed.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;A'KTYL'''<br />
<br />
[Ishta and Teal'c continue their conversation.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
I am from a world unlike yours Teal'c, where women aren't held in such high regard. My husband was a warrior of high station in Molloc's imperial guard. I was but one wife of many, still, as temple priestess I was afforded many luxuries to make up for my mistreatment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
What has become of your husband?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
He was killed in battle, against a rival Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[Mala talks to Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MALA<br/><br />
I was once a temple handmaiden. I fell in love with a young palace guard. Our relationship was forbidden because of our station. When it was discovered that I was to have his child, Moloc sentenced my beloved to death, and sacrificed my daughter before my eyes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm so sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HA'KTYL'''<br />
<br />
[Ishta confides in Teal'c. They stand very close to each other.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
When will the Goa'uld's thirst for conquest and bloodshed end?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
When they are all dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HA'KTYL VILLAGE'''<br />
<br />
[A group of children play blind man's bluff. They laugh together, while in the background adults take care of the daily chores. Nesa comes and sits down on a log. She looks pensive.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You okay?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Nesa looks up at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
My sister says I shouldn't talk to you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel comes to sit beside her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You don't have to. I'll just sit here for a while.<br/><br />
(pause)<br/> <br />
I'm Daniel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She steals a glance in his direction, then quickly looks away. He looks over at her]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I wasn't talking to you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
Who were you talking to then?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No one. <br/><br />
(pause)<br/><br />
So how are you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
(sighs)<br/><br />
I feel tired.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Who you talking to?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
No one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel nods, and Nesa smiles. She looks at his face.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
What are those on your face?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Uh, they're called glasses. They help me see better.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
Why would you need to see better?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Because my eyes don't see as well as they should.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Nesa looks at them again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
How do they work?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel takes them off and puts them on her face.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
These make your sight worse.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She hands them back to Daniel, who puts them on.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, well they work differently for different people.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
Perhaps you are in need of a symbiote.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, I'll just stick with the glasses.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
Neith has told me that your people don't approve of our use of symbiotes for healing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, it's a little more complicated than that. I just think there's a better way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
Neith does not want me to participate in your experiments.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
Soon I will require a symbiote.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You don't sound very happy about that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
I will become a great warrior like Neith.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You know you can do that without a symbiote.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
I can?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Mm-hmm. But, um, you didn't hear that from me. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He smiles.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ISHTA'S TENT'''<br />
<br />
[Ishta and Teal'c have just finished a meal. Ishta pours Teal'c a drink from a large jug. The tent is filled with candlelight.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Have you nothing to say?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I have spoken more in two days than I have in many years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
(softly)<br/> </blockquote><br />
And so you are done?<br />
<br />
[They exchange long lingering glances in the silence.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps I should take my leave.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ishta looks as if she id going to let him go, then she stops him for rising.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Thoughts of your wife still linger, that's understandable. But she's been gone now for over a year. There is no sin in taking comfort in another lonely soul, if you wish.</blockquote><br />

[A nurse attends Mala, then draws a curtain across as she leaves. Carte and Fraiser discuss her progress.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Mala's the only one not responding. Her white blood cell count is way down. If this keeps up she'll go into sepsis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What can you do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Continue to increase the tretonin levels. But she's already at double the doses of the others. I want to put her in isolation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
We had no guarantees going in. Some would say an 80% success rate isn't bad in a trial like this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Not in the minds of the Jaffa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
We're not dome yet. We haven't even begun to explore the reasons why it might not be working in Mala.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We need this to work.</blockquote><br />

'''INT&mdash;DANIEL'S TENT'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is lying on his bed, asleep. Someone points a staff weapon at him at point blank range, and readies it for firing. The noise wakes him, and he rolls over to see the end of the weapon about two inches from his face.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Morning.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Neith is holding the weapon. She is very angry and upset.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
You had no right to speak to her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'm sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
I saved her from her birthright, and it will be the symbiote I procure that will save her once again. I've already lost two sisters, and I will not lose another one!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay, okay, you lost two sister, I'm sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
Ishta was able to save me, but she couldn't save the next two girls sired by my father. He was a Jaffa stationed high in the imperial guard. I swore that when I came of age no more of my sisters would die. When I heard that my mother had given birth to yet another female, I know what I had to do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You should be proud of that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
My father discovered the rouse Ishta and I used to keep Nesa away from the fire. I had to kill him so we could escape.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks quickly at the staff weapon still two inches from his head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, don't you want to give Nesa a chance to live free of the Goa'uld?</blockquote><br />

She is no longer fit to lead us. She consorts with Teal'c. Her judgement has been clouded.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>KA'LEL<br/><br />
Our sisters have risked their lives for the experiment. Do you see no benefit if it works?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
Even if the tretonin works, it merely places our dependence on the humans of Tau'ri-</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRIOR 2<br/><br />
Whom you also do not trust.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
Who is to say their intentions are pure. Their leaders are men, they wish to sap our strength with this drug.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KA'LEL<br/><br />
We are safe here at the moment, but if Moloc ever learnt that we were behind the raids on his Jaffa-</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
Our freedom lies on dominance over the Goa'uld. We must fight, so that we may use their symbiotes to our advantage. Only then will we control our own destiny. I wish to know, is I am to challenge Ishta's leadership, who will follow me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The warriors consider for a moment. Another warrior enters, walking through the group to Neith.]<br />

'''EXT&mdash;HA'KTYL'''<br />
<br />
[A group of warriors rush through the edges of the viallge. Daniel and Teal'c watch them pass.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(To the crowd)<br/><br />
What is happening?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRIOR<br/><br />
(on horseback)<br/><br />
Neith has claimed Jon es say ko!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter contacts Daniel and Teal'c through the radio.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel, Teal'c, this is Sam, come in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HA'KTYL'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel and Teal'c are rushing through the forest, following the crowd. Carter's message comes over the radio. Daniel stops to answer the message, while Teal'c goes ahead.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Yeah, go ahead Sam, it's me, Daniel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(over radio)<br/><br />
We have some bad news.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Uh, things aren't going that well here either, what's up?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's Mala.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HA'KTYL'''<br />
<br />
[Realisation dawns on Daniel's face.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;HA'KTYL TRAINING GROUND'''<br />
<br />
[Neith falls to the ground. A staff weapon to readied for firing and pointed at her face. It is clear there has been a fight. Ishta is holding the weapon. The crowd have made a ring around the outside.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Ishta!<br/><br />
(pause, then louder)<br/><br />
Ishta!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
You dare intervene! She challenges me. It is my right!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is your right to grant mercy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(shouting)<br/><br />
Excuse me!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He runs into the ring, out of breath.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Uh, look, I know this is not a good time for this, there never really is for something like this-</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
(still pointing the weapon and glaring at Neith)<br/><br />
Speak!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Mala's dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[All those present are clearly shocked.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'm sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
(obviously upset)<br/><br />
How?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The tretonin wasn't working. When they tries to reintroduce her symbiote&hellip;Look, I just want you to know, the other women are fine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
See what your weakness has brought. Nesa is in need of a symbiote.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ishta withdraws her weapon, and offers her hand to Neith.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
She shall have one!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Neith takes Ishta's hand, gets up, and takes the staff weapon. She leaves. Ishta goes to follow her, but is stopped by Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Do not make this mistake. Moloc will not allow this to continue.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
You give me no choice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
How many warriors have to die?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Our sisters in your care will be returned safely. Or the two of you will be sacrificed!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She storms off.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Kree shal Moloc!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teral'c and Daniel turn round to find at least six warriors pointing staff weapons at them. The rest leave with Ishta.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;HA'KTYL TENT'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Daniel are inside a tent, discussing options. Teal'c paces the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Look, I know you want to stop Ishta and the gang, but even if we could get out of here, we don't know where they went.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The tent opens, and Ka'lel and two other warriors enter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KA'LEL<br/><br />
Come with me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She leaves. Daniel and Teal'c look at each other, then follow.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;NEITH'S TENT'''<br />
<br />
[Ka'lel leads them into Neith's tent, where Nesa lies. Daniel looks to Ka'lel for an explanation.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KA'LEL<br/><br />
She insisted.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
I do not wish for someone else to die so that I might live. I do not want to take a symbiote.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel goes to sit on the edge of her bed. He clears his throat.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Did you talk to your sister?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
She would not listen. It is my right to decide, is it not?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'm not sure. It should be.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
What happened to Mala?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We don't really know. We do know that it was partly a reaction to her own symbiote. It shouldn't happen to someone who was never implanted.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
And the tretonin worked in others, did it not?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
I wish to try it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(nods)<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Do you know where Ishta and Neith have gone?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KA'LEL<br/><br />
I do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Daniel look at Ka'lel. She leaves, and Teal'c bows to Nesa before leaving as well. Daniel gets up and is the last to leave.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;ALIEN PLANET'''<br />
<br />
[Jaffa lie scattered, dead and dying. Female warriors pick up staff weapons. Ishta and Neith survey the scene.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
(to warriors on the ridge behind her)<br/><br />
Shel nok anree!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRIOR<br/><br />
En vada!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
(to Neith)<br/><br />
We have been fortunate this day. More have died than needed to.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
We have saved the life of my sister.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ishta approaches one of the dying Jaffa. She removes her dagger from it's sheath, and is about to remove the symbiote when the Jaffa speaks to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
(stuttering with pain)<br/><br />
Shal&hellip;k-kek&hellip;nem ron</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ishta freezes. Neith notices.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
Is the symbiote too near maturity?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She comes over.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
What is wrong?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
(obviously shocked and upset)<br/><br />
This Jaffa has the same wish for freedom as do we.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
Then he should not fought along those that follow Moloc.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[In the distance an injured Jaffa raises his head. A staff weapon lies within his reach.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
How many others? that might have been our allies have we killed today?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
I will do it myself! </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She takes the knife from Ishta. The Jaffa in the distance has picked up the staff weapon, and shoots Neith in the back. Ishta turns round, pointing her weapon at the Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
NO!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He prepares to fire again, at Ishta, but is zatted by Teal'c, who runs over to Ishta with Daniel and Ka'lel close behind.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You okay?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
She is severely wounded. Her symbiote is damaged as well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ishta picks up the dagger again, but Teal'c grabs her wrist.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Ishta, you have a choice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ishta turns to look at Teal'c, anger filling her eyes. It begins to melt away though, turning to grief. She drops the dagger, and allows Teal'c to hold her.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Carter watch Neith from the observation deck. Fraiser monitors her vitals. Ishta and Teal'c look on from the end of the bed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
I don't know how much longer I can keep her alive. If we're going to administer the tretonin, it's now or never.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(to Ishta)<br/><br />
You must speak to her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ishta moves up, and leans over Neith.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Neith.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Neith opens her eyes, and looks around. She then looks at Ishta.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Your symbiote is dying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
You must procure another.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
No. Those ways are over.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
Then you sentence me to death.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
I ask you to choose life.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Neith looks away. Ishta stands up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
She will not listen to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and Nesa enter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well maybe she'll listen to her sister.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Nesa goes to stand next to Neith.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
Please, Neith.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
You betrayed me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
No. You betrayed me. Since before I can remember, you have taught me to believe in our freedom. You said that you would do anything so that you might protect. One day I will be a great warrior like you, but I am not yet. I still need you. I have chosen to live free. You must choose to take the tretonin if you are to continue to teach and protect me. Please, I do not wish you to die.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Neith slowly raises her hand, and gently strokes Nesa's face. She nods, and Nesa smiles, bending down to embrace her sister. Neith steals a glance at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The stargate spins as it dials the address for Ha'ktyl. SG-1 are lind up on one side of the ramp, with Neith, Nesa, Ka'lel and Ishta on the other side, facing them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
(To Daniel, opposite her.)<br/><br />
Will you come and visit?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>NEITH<br/><br />
My sister's developed quite an affection for you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Nesa nudges Neith, embarrassed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>NESA<br/><br />
(whispering)<br/><br />
Neith.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She glances up, smiling at Daniel, who smiles back. Teal'c can't resist a smile.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
We are grateful to our new friends. On behalf of the Ha'kytl, I'd like to express our thanks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Our medical team will be checking in on a regular basis. Be sure to take note of any symptoms that could a side effect of the tretonin.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KA'LEL<br/><br />
You have trained us well in the use of the medicine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
The food and supplies you have provided will go far.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, if there's anything else you need, anything, just give us a call. Send us an email.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ISHTA<br/><br />
Just that not so many moons go by before we see you again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Ishta draw into an embrace and kiss each other. O'Neill doesn't seem to notice that Ishta was not talking to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, don't worry, I'm sure we'll be in&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The gate activates, and O'Neill notices the passionate embrace of Teal'c and Ishta.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
&hellip;touch.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Daniel look slightly embarrassed and leave the gateroom together. Neith and Nesa smile, turn around and head up the ramp. O'Neill raises his eyebrows, then nods and leaves as well. Teal'c and Ishta finish their kiss and Ishta walks up the ramp, leaving Teal'c at the base of the ramp, alone. At the top she turns and bows, before entering the wormhole. The wormhole disengages.]<br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;STREET'''<br />
<br />
[A young girl cycles down a quiet residential street as a couple of joggers pass by. A car comes down the street and collides into the rear of another car just in front of it. A young boy sitting on a bench looks up at the crash and the joggers turn to see what happened. Three men exit the car which crashed into the back of the other and a young man exits the front car. The radiator of the second car is hissing.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BULLY<br/><br />
(yelling)<br/><br />
What the hell are you doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DRIVER<br/><br />
I was trying to park.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BULLY<br/><br />
Huh! Didn't you ever hear of signaling, pal?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DRIVER<br/><br />
I did signal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BULLY<br/><br />
Listen man, if you don't know how to drive, maybe you should try staying off the damn road!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[One of the men has walked around to stand behind the young driver.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DRIVER<br/><br />
Maybe, if you hadn't have been tailgating me this wouldn't have happened.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The bully turns to his other friend, amazed that the young man has replied to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BULLY<br/><br />
Oh, no, you didn't just say that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The bully grabs the driver by the front of his jacket and pushes him against the car.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DRIVER<br/><br />
Look, man, I don't want any trouble.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The young boy watching, looks around, concerned.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BULLY<br/><br />
Too late.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The bully swings his arm back to punch the young driver but his wrist is grabbed by Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
This is unlawful behaviour.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>BULLY<br/><br />
Who the hell are you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Collision procedure dictates that you exchange insurance information and, if necessary, notify the police.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[One of the bully's friends laughs at the interruption.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BULLY<br/><br />
(laughing, amazed)<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
This gentleman did indeed signal, which would indicate that it was you who was at fault.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The bully grabs at Teal'c's hand, trying to free himself.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>BULLY<br/><br />
Pal, you'd better learn to mind your own damn business.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The bully takes a swing at Teal'c, who blocks the punch easily. Teal'c head buts the man, who collapses to the ground. One of his friends comes towards Teal'c, swinging. Teal'c ducks, then hits the man in the face with his palm, then punches him. The man collapses to the ground. The third bully throws a punch, but Teal'c lowers his head and the bully hits the top of his skull, badly hurting his hand. Teal'c punches the man, who also collapses to the ground. The first bully, spitting blood, tries to get up but is once again punched to the ground.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KID<br/><br />
(awed)<br/><br />
Wow!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(to driver)<br/><br />
I believe it will now be necessary to notify the police.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DRIVER<br/><br />
Yeah. Thanks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c bows slightly and smiles at the driver.]<br />
<br />

'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;O'NEILL'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Davis knocks carefully at the door, obviously not wanting to disturb O'Neill who is doing paperwork.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Sir&hellip;uhh&hellip;Colonel Kendrick from the Office of Special Investigations is here to see you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(loudly and pointedly)<br/><br />
Does he have an appointment?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
No, sir&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The door swings open and Kendrick pushes past Davis to stand in front of O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KENDRICK<br/><br />
You wouldn't return my phone calls. Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I was busy&hellip;didn't think it was important? Take your pick.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KENDRICK<br/><br />
You know as well as I do there's been another incident.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks over at Davis who is still in the doorway. Davis raises his hand and leaves.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KENDRICK<br/><br />
When you petitioned the OSI to allow Teal'c to live off base, your request was approved under certain provisions. These provisions have clearly been violated. </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, come on, Colonel. If you had saved Earth from total annihilation a couple of times and your government told you you couldn't go out to play&hellip;wouldn't you consider it more a&hellip;guideline than a rule?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KENDRICK<br/><br />
We all appreciate what Teal'c has done for us, sir, on numerous occasions. But that doesn't change the fact that he's a liability and every day he's allowed to roam around in public jeopardises national security.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, don't be so dramatic, Dick, it'll give you gas.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KENDRICK<br/><br />
(threateningly)<br/><br />
Either you take action to ensure these provisions are met&hellip;or the OSI will.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hey! Watch it. I'll look into it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KENDRICK<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kendrick leaves, with O'Neill waving his hand after him.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;APARTMENT BLOCK'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TEAL'C'S APARTMENT'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c opens the apartment door in response to a knock.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hey!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Just wanted to come by and see how you're settling in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Please enter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel walks in and looks around as Teal'c closes the door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Wow! I like what you're doing with the place. Sort of&hellip;Jaffa chic with a east African flair.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I have discovered there are many programmes on television which offer advice in the area of home design and decoration.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, I'm a little more into the history channel myself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Can I offer you anything?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, I'm fine. How's the fern doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c raises an eyebrow and gestures to a plant on a shelf. The fern does not look healthy. Daniel walks up to it and touches its leaves.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don't suppose you've tried talking to it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I have not. Perhaps you should tell me why you are here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
A guy just can't come by and visit his friend?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel sits as Teal'c raises an eyebrow questioningly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yep, heard what happened the other day. Three KO's, first round.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel gets up from the chair.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
O'Neill sent you to speak with me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No&hellip;yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I broke no law. I intervened to prevent a criminal activity and was forced to defend myself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You see, that's kind of the point. Look, there's no reason why you shouldn't be allowed to live off base. I mean, especially when you're not carrying a symbiote anymore, but&hellip; you're supposed to be keeping a low profile.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
That is not always easy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'm not just talking about the tattoo, although I do see how that could be a problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I often cover it, to avoid stares in public. I tell those who have seen it, that it is a tribal mark from my homeland.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes, this is less about appearance, than it is about behaviour.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Have I not conducted myself as a typical member of this community?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, no, actually, no, you haven't. Ummm&hellip;besides the other day, there was the incident with the old man and the teenagers in the park. There was that thing with the guy with the pitbull.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
In each case, I was only attempting to render assistance where it was needed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You see, that's kinda the problem. Normal human beings are a little more careful about getting involved in business that isn't theirs. I know. That sounds bad, but it's just the way it is, and you can't afford to be drawing attention to yourself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c ponders what Daniel has said.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I understand.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[There is a knock at the door and Teal'c turns to answer it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Excuse me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He opens the door to a young woman.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WOMAN<br/><br />
Hi.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Krista.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Krista holds up a bag of cookies.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Made you cookies.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c smiles and accepts the bag.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Please come in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Krista enters and sees Daniel in the apartment.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
I'm sorry, I didn't realise you had company.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Krista James, this is Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Krista walk up to Daniel. Krista and Daniel shake hands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(smiling)<br/><br />
Hi.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Krista lives in the apartment next door.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Wait a minute, Doctor Jackson? You're the archaeologist who hired Teal'c to come over from Mozambique.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
That's right!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Well, then I should thank you. It's been great having him here. It's nice to have a man around who cares about his neighbours.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Actually, we were just talking about that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
In fact, that's why I'm here.<br/><br />
(to Teal'c)<br/><br />
The cookies were a bribe. My pipes are doing that thing again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Normally, I would be happy to provide assistance, however&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, no, no, no, no. Don't let me interrupt. I've gotta be going anyway. It's very nice to meet you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Nice to meet you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Ah, Teal'c, that other thing we were talking about, ummm&hellip;every rule has its exceptions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel waves as he leaves and Krista raises her hand in farewell.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PARK'''<br />
<br />
[Pete and Carter are buying food from a cart.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
(to vendor)<br/><br />
Thanks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They walk away from the vendor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
So, how are things in the galaxy?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You know I can't talk about work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Sorry. I'm still getting used to the fact that my girlfriend's a superhero.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
A bit of an exaggeration.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
The superhero part? Or the girlfriend part?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter smiles at Pete.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
You travel to other planets to do battle with alien creatures bent on galactic domination. Just because you don't wear a tight spandex outfit doesn't mean that you're not&hellip;although&hellip;it's an idea you might wanna consider.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They are now sitting on a bench. They both laugh.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Look, I know this is hard for you. Any other guy would have just freaked out and run away.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
You didn't run away when I stalked you. Anyway, I just want you to appreciate the position I'm in here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I do, believe me, and I'm really glad you stuck around.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
I'm glad to hear you say that, 'cos I put in for a transfer to Colorado Springs PD.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter smiles and kisses Pete.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Are you sure?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
I've never been more sure of anything in my entire life. That's why I got you this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete shows Carter a ring box, containing a diamond ring. Carter is completely surprised.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh, my God!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks at Pete, saying nothing.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;STREET'''<br />
<br />
[A couple of joggers run past Teal'c and Krista, who are walking along the street, carrying paper sacks of groceries.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
I'm sorry to keep asking you to help with my plumbing but the super's never around and my boyfriend's not very handy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
There is no need to apologise.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They walk past a woman getting out of her car. The woman places her handbag on the car roof.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Anyhow, you'll forgive me once you've tasted my lasagne.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I'm looking forward to it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The young boy who witnessed Teal'c beating the three bullies walks up to them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KID<br/><br />
Yo, T!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Greetings, Eric.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The two shake hands extravagantly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ERIC<br/><br />
I saw you take out those three gorillas the other day. Nice work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
In retrospect it may have been unwise to intervene.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ERIC<br/><br />
Are you kidding? They deserved it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The woman at the car is standing, putting on makeup. A young man runs up to the car and grabs her handbag from the roof.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WOMAN<br/><br />
Hey! Hey stop that guy, he's got my purse, hey!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The thief runs past Krista, knocking her shopping to the ground.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ERIC<br/><br />
Aren't you gonna do anything?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I must not intervene.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Krista looks back at Teal'c. puzzled.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ERIC<br/><br />
What? You just gonna let him get away?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c looks at the thief, running further into the distance, and at Krista, who turns away to look at the thief. Teal'c places his bag on the ground, picks up a piece of fruit and throws it, hitting the thief, who collapses to the ground.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ERIC<br/><br />
Oh man! What a shot.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
How did you do that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ERIC<br/><br />
You the man, T.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The woman turns to Teal'c, amazed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WOMAN<br/><br />
Thank you. That was amazing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c smiles and bows at the woman.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
That <b>was</b> amazing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ERIC<br/><br />
T money, you are the man. Gotta give the man his props.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As Teal'c shakes hands with Eric, it becomes obvious that someone is taking photos of Teal'c. Teal'c looks around, uncomfortable.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TEAL'C'S APARTMENT NIGHT'''<br />
<br />
[The apartment is lit by many candles. Teal'c hears a man banging at Krista's door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
Krista! Krista! Come on, Krista. Listen, listen, listen, just let me in. Just let me in.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BUILDING HALLWAY'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c goes out into the hallway and walks towards Krista's apartment.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Doug, I have to work tomorrow.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOUG<br/><br />
So?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
So? You're drunk. Just go home. Please.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOUG<br/><br />
No, no, no, I ain't going nowhere.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Doug&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Is there a problem?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOUG<br/><br />
This is a private conversation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
If it were private, you would not be conducting it in the hallway, nor speaking so loudly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A door behind Teal'c opens, and an elderly woman holding a cat peers out. Teal'c turns towards the neighbour.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
(to neighbour)<br/><br />
It's alright, Mrs Connors. Just go back inside.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The woman glares, and shuts the door. Teal'c turns back to Krista and Doug, the smile he gave to the neighbour slipping from his face.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(to Krista)<br/><br />
Do you require assistance?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
No, I'm okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Doug turns away from Krista to face Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOUG<br/><br />
Who the hell is this guy?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
His name is Teal'c. He's my neighbour.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOUG<br/><br />
Teal'c? What kind of a crazy name is that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
He just moved here form Mozambique.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOUG<br/><br />
Ooh&hellip;no doubt.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Krista has requested that you leave. I suggest you comply.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOUG<br/><br />
You better check yourself, before you get hurt.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I have checked. I suggest you leave, before it's you that gets hurt.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Doug, go sober up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOUG<br/><br />
You know what? I'm gonna call you tomorrow.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Doug leaves.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
I'm sorry about that. I hate when he gets that way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
This is not the first time. So you have stopped receiving him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Not exactly. He's not always like that. Since he lost his job, he's just been, you know&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I do not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
It's been hard on him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
And has it not been hard on you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
I'm fine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c smiles slightly, and nods at Krista.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN DAY'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC DANIEL'S LAB'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I do not understand Krista's behaviour.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c is standing at Daniel's desk. Carter and Daniel are seated behind it, at a monitor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, it's a common problem. Most cultures on Earth recognise that there's a significant gap between the experiences of men and women. Among the Masai of East Africa, each newly wed man is required to wear his wife's clothing for a month, as a way of gaining insight into her life.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
If only it were that simple.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The point is, while rituals and customs may vary, almost all cultures put significant pressure on single adults to form bonding pairs. In ancient Persia, if a girl died a virgin, they would go so far as to marry her corpse off before burial.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns to Daniel, shocked.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's horrible</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The groom was usually quite well paid.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's bad enough being on your own without every TV show and commercial and magazine ad trying to tell you how abnormal it is.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I think that's what I just said.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They make you afraid of being alone but at the same time tell you not to settle for anything less than the perfect romantic ideal, like that actually exists anywhere in the real world. Either way you can't win!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter sighs. Daniel looks at Teal'c, eyebrows raised.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(to Carter)<br/><br />
How's things?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Good. We were talking about Teal'c's friend, right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I thought we were.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Teal'c, how do Jaffa couples handle their problems?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
On Chulak, a dispute between a man and a woman that cannot be resolved necessitates a pledge break. It must be requested by one and granted by the other.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And if that doesn't work?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
A weapon is required.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Daniel say nothing.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;PARK DAY'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c is practising his Tai'Chi-like exercises. Krista is behind him, watching.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Sorry, I don't want to interrupt you, I just came out for a little air.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Are you alright?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
I had another fight with Doug. I told him it's over. I don't want to see him anymore.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Are you not happy with your decision?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
I guess it was the right thing to do. But he's not a bad person. He's just going through a tough time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You have no cause to feel guilty.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
What was that you were just doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is called Lok'nel, an ancient form of martial arts training.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
You think you could teach me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c smiles slightly and bows his head in agreement. They begin. Many days pass with Teal'c training Krista in the art. They practise both in the park and in the apartment. An attraction appears to be forming between the two.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BUILDING HALLWAY'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c leaves his apartment and goes to Krista's door.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KRISTA'S APARTMENT'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c knocks on Krista's door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Oh, hi.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You are late for your next training session.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Yeah, I meant to tell you. I don't think I'm going to be able to train with you anymore.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You have been making tremendous progress.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Well, I just don't have time, you know?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Has something transpired?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
No, everything's fine. Look, I've gotta go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As Krista brings up her right hand to close the door, Teal'c notices bruising around her wrist and stops her from closing the door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You are injured.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
It's nothing. Please</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOUG<br/><br />
(from inside the apartment)<br/><br />
Krista, who is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
It's just my neighbour.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Doug comes to the door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOUG<br/><br />
Oh yeah? The plumber. I'll handle this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Doug, it's not&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOUG<br/><br />
I said, I'll handle it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Krista goes back into the apartment as the neighbour's door opens and the woman peers out.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOUG<br/><br />
Don't think I don't know what's been going on around here. She told me everything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Are you the one who injured her?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DOUG<br/><br />
What goes on between me and Krista, it ain't none of your business.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
If you ever injure her again, I will kill you where you stand.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c leaves.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CARTER'S LAB'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is working at a computer on her desk. O'Neill enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I never thought I'd hear myself utter these words. I need that report.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Right. Um, I just need to finish typing up my notes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter starts searching her desk.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Uh&hellip;yeah, I'll have it for you first thing tomorrow.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at his watch.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It is tomorrow.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'm joking, I don't need the report.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well then, why&hellip;.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Because something's going on with you. You haven't tried to confuse me with any scientific babble for the last couple of days and that's a red flag to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter sighs and hands the ring box to O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Pete gave me this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill takes the box and opens it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
People normally wear these on their fingers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I haven't said yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And yet, you haven't said no.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I told him I needed to think about it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill puts down the ring box.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That was two weeks ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You know, all these years I've been concentrating on work I just assumed that one day I would&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />

<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah. And now it comes down to it, I don't know. I mean, every time we go through the gate we risk not coming back. Is it fair to put somebody else through that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Pete is a cop. I think he could handle it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What about kids?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What about 'em?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Do I take maternity leave and then come back? Do I drop the baby off at daycare on my way to some unexplored planet on the edge of the crab nebula?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter, there are people on this base who have families.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What about you? If things had been different&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I wouldn't be here.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Krista.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Krista gets up, wiping tears from her face.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Hey, I was waiting for you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Has something happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
No, I'm fine. It's just, it's over with Doug. For real this time. I'm sorry about what happened before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c smiles and gently wipes the tears from her cheek with his thumb.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
I need to get out of here. I can't even think in this place. Will you come with me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps tomorrow.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
No, now. Tonight. We'll just get in the car and drive. We'll take the whole weekend. It doesn't even matter where we end up, as long as it's away from here. Please.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC DANIEL'S LAB'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is working at a monitor as Carter enters, looking worried.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hey, what's going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
General O'Neill just got off the phone with Colonel Kendrick. Krista's boyfriend was found dead in her apartment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What? What happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We don't have all the details yet, but according to Kendrick, preliminary evidence indicates that Teal'c may have been responsible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
That's impossible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's what I said. Unfortunately, we can't ask him about it because he's missing. So Krista. As of right now, Teal'c is wanted for kidnapping and murder.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;VEHICLE NIGHT'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c is driving with Krista in the passenger seat.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Thanks for getting me out of there. I just couldn't be in that place tonight.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Where do you wish to go?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Just keep driving.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c adjusts the rear-view mirror.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
What? What is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I do not wish to alarm you but I believe that we are being followed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Who would be following us?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Perhaps Doug.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c looks over at Krista.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
He doesn't know I'm gone yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Then they are most likely following me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
You? Why would anyone be following you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is difficult to explain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Krista looks back to see a car follow them around a corner.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Can you lose them?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I believe so. However, it will require me to violate posted speed limits and several safe driving regulations.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
I'm okay with that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c looks at Krista and nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Hold on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c presses down on the accelerator and the vehicle can be heard speeding up.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MOTEL ROOM NIGHT'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Krista enter a motel room. As Teal'c shuts the door, Krista closes the curtains.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Don't tell me you learned how to do that back in your village.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
There are aspects of my life which I am not at liberty to divulge.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
What are you? A spy or something? One thing's for sure, you're not really Doctor Jackson's research assistant. That much I figure after about 30 seconds.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c sighs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Krista&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Krista places her finger on his lips to stop him saying any more.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
It's okay. For now, I'm just glad you're here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They kiss.]<br />

<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Hi.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Thanks for meeting me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
No problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Pete, I'm sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete's smile fades.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I need a little more time. Look, you know how I feel about you, it's just&hellip;there's some things I need to work out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Anyway, that's not what this is about.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
It's not?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No. I wouldn't ask if it wasn't so important.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
What's going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I need your help.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MOTEL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c wakes to find the bed next to him empty.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Krista?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[There is no reply.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Krista!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As Teal'c checks the bathroom, there is a knock at the door. Teal'c opens it, to be faced with a number of armed policemen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OFFICER<br/><br />
Police! Turn around and lace your fingers behind your head.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c does so, frowning.]<br />

[O'Neill is walking down the corridor, followed by Kendrick.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KENDRICK<br/><br />
Well, where is he being held?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
He's in his old quarters.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Kendrick sighs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KENDRICK<br/><br />
Is he at least under guard?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
He's not going anywhere.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KENDRICK<br/><br />
He's a murder suspect.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC O'NEILL'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[They enter the office.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You know, I talked to him. He said he didn't do it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KENDRICK<br/><br />
That's good enough for you is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Pretty much.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KENDRICK<br/><br />
Well, unfortunately, you're not in charge of this investigation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. He also said he felt like he was being followed last night.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KENDRICK<br/><br />
The OSI did not have Teal'c under surveillance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. How did you find him?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KENDRICK<br/><br />
We received a tip.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That didn't strike you as&hellip;odd?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KENDRICK<br/><br />
I told you something like this might happen, you flat out ignored my warnings.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Not so much ignored as completely disregarded.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KENDRICK<br/><br />
With all due respect, General. I'm going to have to insist that Teal'c be placed in confinement immediately, or I will recommend that he be held elsewhere.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC DANIEL'S LAB'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is sorting through paperwork on his desk. Suddenly, on the monitor in front of him, a number of symbols appear followed by the message, "Look familiar?"]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What the hell?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The phone rings and Daniel answers it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The male voice on the other end of the line is distorted.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALLER<br/><br />
Did you get my message?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Who is this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALLER<br/><br />
The symbols, Doctor Jackson. Do you recognise them?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don't know who you think this is.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALLER<br/><br />
We need it translated into Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I have no idea what you're talking about.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALLER<br/><br />
We know it's the language of the Ancients, but the dialect is obscure. You're the one man on Earth who can translate them. Your friend Teal'c is in trouble.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
How do you know about that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALLER<br/><br />
We can help him. We've been watching him. In fact, we saw the whole thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You witnessed the murder?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CALLER<br/><br />
We've got it all on tape. Concrete evidence that proves Teal'c's innocence, and it's yours in exchange for the translation. Of course, if you tell anyone we'll know, and the deals off.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The caller rings off.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;STREET DAY'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;KRISTA'S APARTMENT'''<br />
<br />
[Pete and Carter are looking at the marked outline of a body.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
The investigator who checked the position of the body, concluded that the victim was pinned and choked against this wall, and then fell to the floor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete crouches by the outline.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So&hellip;?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
So, I'm not so sure. The proximity of the body to the wall supports that, but the position of the body suggests otherwise.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What do you mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
If he fell into a slump, his legs and arms would be bent.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete shows Carter a photograph of the body.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
His legs are straight and his arms are placed by his sides, suggesting that the body was dragged here and placed in this position.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Why move the body?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Well, dying against the wall suggested the victim was attacked by somebody bigger and stronger.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Like Teal'c. So it was a set up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
It's possible. Now, you said that Teal'c thought he was being followed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
The Air Force denies having him under surveillance?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete walks over to the window and pulls back the curtains to look across to the apartments over the road.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
If I were staking out Teal'c's place, that's where I would be.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ANOTHER APARTMENT'''<br />
<br />
[Pete unlocks the door and enters, followed by Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Hello?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter shuts the door. The apartment is empty of furniture. Pete and Carter walk over to one of the windows.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
From this vantage point you can easily see into both apartments.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete crouches down, pointing out three marks in the carpet.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Three indentations.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Tripod.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Unfortunately, I think they cleaned the place up pretty good. I doubt we'll find anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So it's a dead end.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Not necessarily. Is there a pizza place nearby?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Why?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
One thing about a stakeout? You never eat healthy.</blockquote><br />

'''EXT&mdash;PARK'''<br />

[Daniel is waiting in the park. He is approached by a man holding a styrofoam coffee cup.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />

<br />
[They walk towards a bench.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You're the one who called me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
It doesn't matter. Have you completed the translation?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, see, that's why I wanted to talk to you. I need more time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
You're playing with your friend's life here, Doctor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I can't translate something unless I understand the context. Where they were found, what they're for.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
You think I'm stupid?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'm not lying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
I can see we're going to have to do this the hard way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What does that mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
Either you give us the translation now, or I'll be forced to take this to the next level.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So, beyond kidnapping and murder?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
We didn't kill the boyfriend. But we'll kill the girl if we have to.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
How do I know you even have her?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
Come with me and I'll show you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, you know, I got a thing, so&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel turns to walk away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
I have three snipers targeting your position at this very moment, Doctor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel turns back.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You're bluffing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The man places the coffee cup on the bench.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
Position one, take the coffee cup</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A bullet pierces the centre of the cup.]<br />
<br />

<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We checked a couple of pizza joints and all night delivery places near your apartment to see if there'd been any sudden repeat customers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Interesting investigative method.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, I thought it was a little crazy at first too, but we actually got a lead at one place. The owner reported a Caucasian male who'd been in half a dozen times during the last two weeks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Is that unusual?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Not necessarily, but we thought it was worth checking out. We got a license plate from the security camera out front and we're running it down.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c bows his head at Carter. A guard opens the door and O'Neill enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />

<br />
[Teal'c and Carter stand.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, Kendrick is finally convinced something else is going on here.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So you guys are ex NID? Calling yourselves a trust now, right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
We want the same thing you want, Doctor Jackson. We're trying to protect the planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
That's why you were watching Teal'c. You thought he was a significant threat to planetary security.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
Stargate Command may think it's okay to let an alien roam the streets unsupervised. We beg to differ.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And never mind the fact that he's helped save the Earth more times than I can count.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
He is an alien. Their motives can never be trusted. Anyway, he is partly responsible for the boyfriend's death. If he hadn't shown the girl how to crush a man's windpipe, none of this would have happened.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So she killed him?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MAN<br/><br />
It was self defence really. He was getting out of hand.</blockquote><br />
<br />

And that's when you guys moved in, you planted evidence to make it look like Teal'c did it.</blockquote><br />

Look, Doctor Jackson, if it had been up to me things never would have gone this far. It was supposed to be a simple surveillance operation. But then this little domestic dispute happened, and Teal'c got involved. We knew you weren't going to help us voluntarily.</blockquote><br />
<br />

So you decided to try a little blackmail instead.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Look, you don't have to do this.</blockquote><br />

Daniel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It's gonna be okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The man zats them both and they collapse to the floor. The woman passes a hand-scanner over the computer, wiping all data. The men and woman congregate in a circle.]<br />

<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(into radio)<br/><br />
Go!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Two explosions at the door allow it to be pushed open. The armed personnel enter, followed by Carter and Pete. The warehouse is empty of peole, apart from Daniel and Krista. One of the men checks Daniel's pulse as Pete crouches next to Krista.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>OFFICER<br/><br />
He's unconscious. There's no-one here. We've got all the exits covered, there's no way they could have gotten out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
How is that possible?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The equipment is being dismantled. Krista and Daniel are sitting on chairs, conscious. Daniel is rubbing his eyes as Krista is handed a cup of water.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
(to Daniel)<br/><br />
Thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Pete are standing next to one of the vehicles.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
So, it's normal for the bad guys to just disappear into thin air, right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Not really. Although now I think about it, it's not the first time it's happened.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Just another day at the office.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Figures you should be used to it by now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, I mean, yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete looks at Carter searchingly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Yes, as in?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pete grabs Carter to bring her nearer to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Are you messing with me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Which means?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
You don't need more time?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETE<br/><br />
Therefore&hellip;</blockquote><br />

[Carter smiles.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They hug and kiss.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;STREET'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c is packing his vehicle with boxes. Eric is rolling his skateboard along the footway. There is a box on the skateboard.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Be careful with that package, Eric. Its contents are&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The skateboard falls off the kerb and a sound of breaking glass is heard from within the box.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
&hellip;fragile.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ERIC<br/><br />
Sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
There is no need for an apology.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c picks up the box.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I am grateful for your assistance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As Teal'c turns to put the box in the vehicle, Krista is standing nearby.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Hey!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c bows his head at her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
So, you're really leaving.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed I am.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
You know, you don't have to do this. The whole thing was my fault.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
There is no need to blame yourself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
The men in the warehouse? I didn't know who they were. No-one told me anything. But I know they were using me to get to you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
If it had not been you, it would have been someone else. They would not hesitate to exploit any relationship to their advantage.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
What did they want?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
That I cannot say.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
Right. So, where are you gonna go?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Back to where I came from.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>KRISTA<br/><br />
What does that mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It means I must say goodbye.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Krista notices Eric over Teal'c's shoulder. Teal'c turns to him. Eric is carrying the fern.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ERIC<br/><br />
This is all that was left.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c takes the fern from Eric.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ERIC<br/><br />
Check it out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Eric shows Teal'c the bottom of his skateboard, where Teal'c's forehead symbol has been drawn.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I am honoured.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ERIC<br/><br />
Later, dude.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c closes the boot, looks at Krista then gets into the car. Eric and Krista watch him drive off.]<br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P3R-636 STARGATE'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 are on a cliff overlooking what appears to be Jaffa sending Naquadah through a Stargate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
What’s in the fancy box?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
It is naquadah. Raw naquadah is highly valued among the Goa’uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
SG-3 brought back a small amount of the element back last year. We could really use some, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Well, maybe there is more.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;FOREST '''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 come to a cliff edge overlooking a Goa’uld ship and a large number of Jaffa.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Whoa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A procession of Jaffa come down a path near the cliff.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Look.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A woman walks away from the procession and Daniel follows.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I wish he’d stop doing that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 follows the woman to the edge of a cliff.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
She’s going to jump.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel runs towards the woman and grabs her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Daniel!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
Ahh!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Two Jaffa hear the screams and come running.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, wait. Please.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA 1<br/><br />
Stay away from the princess.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Carter draw their weapons on the Jaffa :.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It’s okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Two more Jaffa come from behind.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
Tell them to lower their weapons. They will kill him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill puts down his weapon.]<br />
<br />

'''INT&mdash;PALACE THRONE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[A group of Jaffa lead SG-1 in front of Shyla and PYRUS.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
What were you thinking?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I thought she’d be grateful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
She was trying to kill herself!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
On your knees.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
No, actually I've got this cartilage problem, little ACL thing&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Jaffa hits him with his staff weapon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Ah, Yeah, that helps.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
My Father, Pyrus the God slayer and ruler of this planet wishes to know who you are.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We’re explorers. Peaceful explorers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PYRUS<br/><br />
You attacked my daughter</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No. Tell him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pyrus comes down from his throne and stands in front of SG-1.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PYRUS<br/><br />
Only one of you is Jaffa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pyrus grabs Carter by the head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PYRUS<br/><br />
Who sent you? Where are you from?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
We’re from a planet called Earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PYRUS<br/><br />
What Goa’uld rules there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
None</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PYRUS<br/><br />
Liar. Thieves. You will tell me the truth or you will die. Put them in the mines.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
Father!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The group of Jaffa grab SG-1 and start to haul them out of the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No wait! We’re not thieves. Wait! Please!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MINE'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 is using pick axes to break apart rocks.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel. He isn’t a Goa’uld. I don’t think these are real Jaffa either.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
How do you know?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
First clue was his voice.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, I noticed that too.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, I can’t really explain it but when he grabbed me I just knew. I felt it. Or, to be more accurate, I didn’t feel it. Sir, I think it has something to do with the Goa’uld that invaded me. Lately, I&hellip;I get this weird feeling when I'm near Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Hey, who doesn't?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, I can sense the presence of a Goa’uld now. I didn’t get that feeling when he grabbed me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
I agree with Captain Carter. The ruler here is not a Goa’uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Alright, Let’s assume you both are right. How does that help us?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I’m not sure</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Look, I’m really sorry you guys. This is totally my fault.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A Jaffa walks up to SG-1.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
You will meet your quota for the day or you will not eat.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
You know, I've seen an awful lot of union violations around here. I should probably speak to your supervisor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Jaffa hits O’Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
You will work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Hi ho, hi ho, back to work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MINE'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 is still picking apart rocks but looks a little more worn down.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I can’t move anymore.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A horn sounds and prisoners start to walk through in a line.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
Put down your tools.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Jaffa starts to unshackle SG-1.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JAFFA<br/><br />
How does your leg feel now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, much better thanks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill hits the Jaffa with his tool and Teal'c throws his ax at another guard. O'Neill picks up a discarded Staff weapon and fires.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Let’s go. Let’s go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
This way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Let’s go Daniel!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I’m coming!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A troop of Jaffa come in and start to fire after SG-1. One of the staff weapon blasts hits the rocks above Daniel’s head, sending them cascading on him. O'Neill, Carter and Teal'c turn back to help unbury Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Daniel! God&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
He’s alive!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Carter, Teal’c. Take off.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Go!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As Carter and Teal'c make their way out, another group of Jaffa stops in front of them, sealing off the exit.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PALACE'''<br />
<br />
[Pyrus and Shyla are standing in the throne room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PYRUS<br/><br />
Foolish child. They must have been sent by some distant evil God. Then they are here to raid our mine. And we can spare none of our naquadah, it grows more scares by the day.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
I know. I will not put our world in jeopardy. When you are gone I will have to make these kinds of choices all the time. Please, believe in me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pyrus turns and leaves. Shyla pushes a button on the throne to reveal a sarcophagus, with Daniel inside.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
Do you feel better?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What’s going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
You tried to escape. You were badly wounded.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
My friends?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
They were recaptured. By what name are you called?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
May I help you out Daniel Jackson?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Shyla offers her hand to help Daniel out of the Sarcophagus.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Thank you. Why am I wearing this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
I took the liberty of providing you with royal robes. You may call me Shyla. In return for saving your life, please do not try to escape again. I have taken personal responsibility for you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
It would also be rude of you to try and hurt me in any way.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You do realize it’s also kind of rude to kidnap people and chain them up in a mine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
Please forgive me for not telling my father the truth about what happened by the cliff. I&hellip;he would not understand.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay. So, you’re not Goa’ulds but you’re running a naquadah mine and you’ve got yourselves a Goa’uld sarcophagus.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
You know of the sarcophagus?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, I've&hellip;I've used one before. Couple of times too many if you ask me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
Really?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel points to his eyes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
My umm..uhh</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
Oh, you want your glass circles. I’m afraid they were broken.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Shyla hands Daniel the broken glasses. He puts them on.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
I just know I’ve done the right thing. Come! I must show you something</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Shyla takes Daniel by the hand and drags him out.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MINE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter, Teal'c and O'Neill are still breaking apart rocks, looking quite haggard.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
He needed medical attention.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It wasn’t your fault sir. We had to take the opportunity when we did.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I know that too.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A young boy offers O'Neill a cup of muddy water.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I've had worse.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;FOREST'''<br />
<br />
[Shyla and Daniel are walking along a tree-lined path.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
Isn’t this splendid?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Why are we here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
I know you must've seen much in your travels, but&hellip;surely you've never seen anything quite so beautiful. We call them trees.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Ah! Um, so do we.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
So you’ve seen them before, on other worlds?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, I have</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
I’m a fool aren’t I? I mean surely you’ve seen more incredible things then I can imagine. Please, tell me about them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Look, I would really like to tell you everything you want to know but&hellip;but my friends.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
My father still believes you and your friends have a nefarious purpose here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
But you don’t.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
We will convince him that you are decent honest people who will bring no harm to our kingdom.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I..uh..um, don’t suppose we could go talk to your father now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
He is not well now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don't&hellip;I don't want to spoil this little rapport we seem to have going here&hellip;.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
That sounds almost romantic.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Oh boy, okay, um, here's the thing. I am very grateful to you that you saved my life and that you want to help me free my friends, but I'm sensing that you did it because your, ah&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
Because you're my destiny.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Whuahh&hellip;.What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
Before she died, my mother-in-law used to come out here and take long walks at night. You can see every star in the sky through the treetops.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, see, about the destiny thing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
She used to tell me how a great man would come from beyond the sun, just for me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Oh boy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
I had come to believe my mother was wrong. That my true love would never come. I stood on that cliff and I wished one last time. At exactly the right moment you were there to save me, Daniel Jackson. You cannot deny that is fate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;MINE'''<br />
<br />
[Carter, Teal'c and O'Neill are still hard at work breaking apart rocks. Daniel walks in looking royal with a Jaffa escort.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hi guys.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Well. It's surprisingly difficult to kill you, isn't it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
We are pleased to see you Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Uh. Sam was right. Pyrus isn’t a Goa’uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
What's with the dress?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Oh! Ah, they're royal robes. Ah, long story short, they have a sarcophagus. Um, the princess put me in it and saved my life because she has a, ah, a crush on me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
A crush?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah. Actually, she thinks I'm her destiny, the whole saving her life thing. I guess she was grateful after all.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Well, good job. Now how about getting the goons to unlock us and get us the heck out of here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Uh yeah, not yet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I’m sorry?</blockquote><br />
<br />

Well it’s&hellip;uh&hellip;it’s kind of a sensitive situation. Pyrus hasn’t exactly agreed to let you go yet. But I’m working on it. I’m trying to gain his trust. Yeah, I know. This is really&hellip;</blockquote><br />

Weird?</blockquote><br />

Look, I just wanted to let you guys know I was okay. And I will talk to Pyrus tonight at dinner.</blockquote><br />

You get dinner?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah, um, some feast in my honor. Or something.</blockquote><br />

Feast? There is a feast?</blockquote><br />

Just trust me. Okay. I just, I need more time.</blockquote><br />

Hello, I’m Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PYRUS<br/><br />
Hmm.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
My father is pleased that you are so honored to dine in the presence of his greatness.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Exactly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
If you are lucky he will tell you the story of how he became the God slayer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PYRUS<br/><br />
I killed Goa’uld who ruled here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And how long ago was that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PYRUS<br/><br />
700 years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
700 years? But you’re a&hellip;.of course the sarcophagus. But I had no idea it could sustain human life so long. Does that mean that you are&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
No, I’m very young by comparison. I have not needed it to extend my life.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So the people continue to worship your father because he’s lived so long.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
They worship him because he liberated them from the evil God.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Uh, then why does he keep them working in the mines.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
So the other distant evil Gods won’t come.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So this, this is a masquerade. You’re sending Naquadah through the Stargate because that’s what the Goa’uld used to do. Well no wonder you’re so paranoid about strangers. You’re afraid of being found out.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Pyrus gets up, not pleased with the situation. Shyla follows after him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PYRUS<br/><br />
I must sleep.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Wait, uh&hellip;about my friends?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PYRUS<br/><br />
Kill them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What? No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
Father, you said their punishment for trying to escape would be to work in the mines, without rest for as long as they live, as an example to the other workers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PYRUS<br/><br />
I did?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />

I’m sorry, this is unacceptable. I can not be up here while they are down there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
We will change my father’s mind about them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don't think you're understanding what they mean to me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
It might just take some time</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Or maybe you do. The longer it takes to free them, the more time we have together. Right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
I admit, that is what I would like.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Then release my friends. I won’t leave. I’ll, I’ll stay and get to know you better. I promise.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
Then you do feel as I do.</blockquote><br />
<br />

No, it’s okay, it’s just that&hellip;uh</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
Maybe you are still not fully recovered.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Shyla walks over and presses a button to bring out the sarcophagus.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I really don’t think that is necessary. Uhh&hellip;I’m okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
But you’ll feel so much better</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Its’ uh&hellip;please.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
For me? You will feel better then you have ever felt. Trust me and I will trust you. I promise.</blockquote><br />

You do know we’re dying down here don’t you?</blockquote><br />

I’ve taken the opportunity to do a little research on the sarcophagus. It’s amazing what it does to you if use it when you are already healthy.</blockquote><br />

Daniel, get us out of here.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I’m working on it. I just need a little more time. Oh, I sent General Hammond another message. Hopefully he won’t order an all out attack. Look, if we do this right we’ll have access to all the naquadah and the sarcophagus.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How many times have you used it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don’t know nine or ten. Oh, Sam, everything is so clear. I feel like I could do anything.</blockquote><br />

One thing. You only have to do one thing! And if you can’t handle that we’re gonna break out of here without you.</blockquote><br />

Look, your endorphin level was through the roof when we came back. And now you’re coming down off of it. The effects of the sarcophagus are like a narcotic Daniel.</blockquote><br />

Yeah, that makes you smarter, stronger, you live for hundreds of years, feel great. What the hell is so wrong with it?</blockquote><br />

How?</blockquote><br />
<br />

Who knows. It’s Goa’uld technology Daniel. Maybe it’s healing affects alter your brain chemistry. Increased adrenaline, the hormones that make you more aggressive and irrational. Pyrus probably used to be a decent man. Look at yourself. It’s like you need a fix. You’ve only used it a few times and already it’s changed you.</blockquote><br />

Our preliminary tests do indicate potentially countless military and scientific applications for the raw ore. Might be a compelling reason to try, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Try what? Last time you were captured and enslaved in that mine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Look, you want access to the mine but you don’t want to send troops in. I’m offering you a shot at a diplomatic solution. Please, Jack, we need to take the chance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks at Daniel and then turns to General Hammond.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
We can back him up sir. I’d like Daniel back on the team.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;THRONE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Shyla is leaning against the sarcophagus, crying. Daniel walks in behind her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
I did not believe you would ever return.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I’m sorry&hellip;about your father&hellip;about everything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
The sarcophagus could not help him anymore.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Shyla stands up and faces Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
You never did love me did you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t care.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
I don't deserve to live after what I’ve done to you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes, you do. Your people need you. You may still be able to lead them without turning into what your father became.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SHYLA<br/><br />
How?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You can’t use this anymore. It’s going to be bad. Trust me. But you don’t have to do this alone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Shyla walks to the end of the sarcophagus and picks up a staff weapon. Daniel joins her. She aims and fires, destroying the sarcophagus in a blue electrical storm. Daniel takes the staff weapon and hugs her.]<br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CRYOGENICS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[A cryogenic tank is slowly being lifted out of an icy pit.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
Begin cryo reversal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
Beginning reversal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She manipulates the controls on her console, reviving the person contained in the cryogenic tank.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COMPUTER<br/><br />
Chamber opening.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The lid on the cryogenic tank slides open to reveal Colonel Jack O’Neill. He opens his eyes and takes a deep breath. Raully quickly moves over to the tank and looks down at him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
It’s okay, Colonel O'Neill. You’re in the SGC, you’re going to be fine. No don’t try to speak, Colonel. Give it some time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
Welcome back to the land of the living, Colonel. I’m Major General Trofsky, this is Doctor Raully.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
Maybe we can try to answer some of the questions that are probably weighing heavily on your mind.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
First of all, I regret to inform you that everyone on your team&hellip;Dr Daniel Jackson, Captain Samantha Carter, and a Jaffa named Teal'c, are all deceased.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
As a matter of fact, I imagine everyone you ever knew is probably gone now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
You see, Colonel, the year is now&hellip;2077.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''END OF TEASER '''<br />
<br />
'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CRYOGENICS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Raully and Trofsky are at the computer console talking, while O'Neill lies on a bed before them. A tube is attached to a device on his chest, feeding him a green substance. Raully sees that he is awake and walks over to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
How are you feeling Colonel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(weakly)<br/><br />
A bit confused.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
Understandable. You’ve been in cryogenic hibernation for almost 79 years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
How?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
That’s a good question, we were hoping you could tell us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
You were sent back through the Stargate already frozen, we’re guessing by some advanced culture. Your CO at the time, General Hammond, and a Dr Frasier, felt that to thaw you without the proper technology would probably kill you. They put you in a deep freeze until such time as the technology was developed that could safely revive you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
Colonel, do you have any idea what happened to you on that planet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
No, Ma’am. General&hellip;I’d prefer not to answer any more questions. Walk around a little, get my bearings.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
Of course. Good idea actually. I’d be happy to show you the rest of the facility.<br/><br />
(to Raully)<br/> <br />
You can disconnect him from these machines for a limited time, can’t you Doctor?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
For an hour or so. But he needs thermatic infusion for his tissues to recover properly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
I’ll have him back in less than an hour.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Raully starts to unhook the tube.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC, CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[Trofsky is escorting O'Neill through the base. They pass a handful of SGC personnel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOICE<br/><br />
(over speakers)<br/><br />
SG-14, debriefing in five minutes, level six.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Trofsky sees O'Neill looking around.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
Changed much?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
There’s no place like home, Sir. How many SG teams are there now, Sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
28 here on Earth, another ten occupying off-world colonies.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
So we finally did that, huh? Populated other planets&hellip;?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
Affirmative.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
General, what happened to my team?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
They didn’t make it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I got that. They didn’t make it back through the Gate? They didn’t survive the thawing process, what?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
Their bodies were sent back, but they were already dead. I’m sorry, Colonel, it was a long time ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Maybe for you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill, accompanied by Trofsky, enters the gate room and wanders up the ramp.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
So, Colonel, do you have any recollection of what happened on your last mission?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I wish I did, Sir. I remember intel suggested the planet we were going to was ruled by a Goa’uld&hellip;but I don’t remember anything after we stepped through that gate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
Can you think of any reason why the Goa’uld might have saved your life and sent you back?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
It’s certainly not their MO.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
We feel whoever did help you, was able to beat back the Goa’uld in order to do so. We’d love to know who could do that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
So would I, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
We have a new technology, that might help you remember. We’d like to give it a try, if you feel up to it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOICE<br/><br />
(over speakers)<br/><br />
SG-22, prepare for embarkation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[An SG unit enters the Gate room, prepared for a mission.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(answering Trofsky)<br/><br />
Sure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
We’d like to get started right away. Our outpost planets are at war with the Goa’uld, and&hellip;frankly, we’re losing. I’m hoping whoever helped you 79 years ago can help us now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CRYOGENICS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Raully is handed a pad containing a selection of coin-shaped devices.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
The technology was a gift from the Tok’ra.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
We’re still friends with them, huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
Oh yes, it’s been quite a beneficial alliance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Just not much help in the outpost colonies, I take it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Raully presses one of the devices onto O'Neill's temple. It buzzes as it’s implanted.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(in obvious pain)<br/><br />
Ow! God, what is that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
It’s ok, Colonel, it’s in. That’s all the pain you’ll feel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(sarcastically)<br/><br />
What a shame.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Raully adjusts the device on O'Neill's temple, then attaches a wire to it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
As the Tok’ra explain it, this device stimulates the memory centers of your mind and then amplifies it. Sort of like a capacitor for thoughts. And when it’s hooked up to this device here, projects what the mind’s eye is seeing holographically.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She moves over to her computer console.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Beautiful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
Now all you have to do is focus your thoughts and&hellip;guide the right memories to the surface.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
How do I do that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
We’ll lead you through it. It’s kind of like a high tech version of hypnosis. We’ve introduced a very light sedative through those tubes and you should be feeling the effects by now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
Great, let’s get going. Start by concentrating on what race or culture you can think of from your travels, that might have the technology to defeat the Goa’uld and cryogenically suspend you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
The Nox did.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
Okay, the Nox. Were they&hellip;medically advanced?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A holographic projector appears next to Trofsky.] <br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
They could revive their dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[His memories of the Nox home-world appear on the projector.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;NOX HOMEWORLD (DAY)'''<br />
<br />
[Three of the Nox are holding their hands over the prone form of the Nox woman, Lya. As SG-1 watch, the Nox fade in and out of vision in their attempt to resurrect her. <br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CRYOGENICS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
(watching the hologram)<br/><br />
They could make themselves invisible?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Not just themselves.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;NOX HOMEWORLD (DAY)'''<br />
<br />
[The Nox leader is standing with his son in the Stargate clearing. <br />
<br />
<blockquote>NOX<br/><br />
Before you go O'Neill, there is something we would have you see.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He waves his arm and SG-1 turns to see a city in the clouds suddenly appear.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>NOX<br/><br />
Fear not.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CRYOGENICS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill, was it the Nox who sent you here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I don’t remember.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
But they have the technology to make themselves invisible. Could be a very powerful weapon against the Goa’uld, could it not?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Probably. But they’d never use it in that manner. The Nox wouldn’t even fight in self-defense.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
Can you think of anyone else who could have defeated the Goa’uld?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
The Asgard.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[An image of SG-1 on the planet Cimmeria appears on the projector.] <br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;CIMMERIA (DAY)'''<br />
<br />
[Dark clouds are gathering over the pyramids Heru’ur had constructed after his invasion of the planet.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Oh my.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The hull of a space ship begins to appear through the clouds.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Ladies and gentlemen, I think this is Thor’s Chariot.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
(in awe)<br/> <br />
An Asgard Mother ship. I have heard them described in Jaffa legend.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[SG-1 turns as they hear a high pitched noise. Their Jaffa guards are suddenly beamed away. The beam passes over HEru’ur’s pyramids, making them vanish.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CRYOGENICS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Raully and Trofsky share a glance. Their attention is captured as another image appears on the holographic projector.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ASGARD WORLD, GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O’Neill is thrown out of the Stargate and rolls painfully down the steps. He looks up to see two Asgard watching him. Behind them, he can see more Asgard, standing in a long corridor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(to the two aliens)<br/><br />
You’re the Asgard, Thor’s race, right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASGARD #1<br/><br />
You have heard of us?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Nothing but good things.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASGARD #1<br/><br />
We have studied your race closely.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
What did you learn?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASGARD #2<br/><br />
That your species has great potential.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Great potential. That’s good.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASGARD #1<br/><br />
Understand this. There was once an alliance of four great races in the galaxy&hellip;the Asgard, the Nox&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Met them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASGARD #1<br/><br />
The Furlings&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Don’t know them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASGARD #1<br/><br />
And the Ancients, the builders of the Stargates.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
That’s a pretty heady group.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASGARD #1<br/><br />
Your race has much to prove before we may interact on that level.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill gets to his feet.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Look, you all seem to be quite wonderful&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He takes a moment to study the second Asgard before him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
&hellip;people.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He kneels before the second Asgard.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
But you folks should understand that we’re out there now. We might not be ready for a lot of this stuff, but we’re doing the best we can.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The second Asgard reaches out a hand, and, after a moment, O'Neill takes it.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASGARD #2<br/><br />
You have already taken the first steps towards becoming&hellip;the Fifth Race.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CRYOGENICS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
They’re part of a&hellip;an alliance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ERNEST’S PLANET, HELIOPOLIS'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1, along with Catherine, watch as Ernest removes a cloth covering a pedestal set in the center of the room. Around them, the walls are covered in various alien writings.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
What is this place?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Ernest offers Daniel his diary.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(reading from the diary)<br/><br />
I believe this room is some sort of meeting place, where four alien races, denoted by the symbols and distinctive writing on the walls, would gather. Possibly to share knowledge or discuss relations like a United Nations of the stars. Catherine agrees.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CATHERINE<br/><br />
(to Ernest)<br/> <br />
You’re right, I would have.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks more closely at the pedestal.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
This looks familiar.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ERNEST<br/><br />
Touch it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill hesitantly places his hand on the center stone. A bolt of energy suddenly shoots upwards.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Whoa!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Above them, there appear hundreds of glowing holographic images.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CATHERINE<br/><br />
It’s beautiful!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Daniel, does this mean anything?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, if this was a Mecca of sorts, an alien United Nations this has to mean something.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(pointing to one floating symbol)<br/><br />
I know this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CATHERINE<br/><br />
Of course, high school chemistry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
One proton, one electron&hellip;hydrogen.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CATHERINE<br/><br />
Beryllium, sodium&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ERNEST<br/><br />
Silver, iron, barium, neon&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill waves his gun through one of the holograms. Daniel suddenly realizes the purpose of the holograms.] <br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(excitedly)<br/><br />
Of course! How do you ensure universal communication? You reduce the method of communication to the most basic elements common to everyone and everything that exists in the universe. Jack, this is a true&hellip;universal&hellip;language.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CRYOGENICS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O’Neill’s memory device lets out a high pitched beep and he jumps as if shocked. The holographic projector flickers, malfunctioning, then disappears.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
(to Trofsky)<br/><br />
He’s had enough for now. Let’s let him rest.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
(to O'Neill)<br/><br />
Thank you, Colonel.<br/><br />
(To Raully)<br/> <br />
Good work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Raully presses a button on the bed and a purple liquid runs through the tube attached to O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
(to Raully)<br/><br />
We’ll resume later.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CRYOGENICS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Trofsky and Raully enter a second cryogenics room as a tank is being lifted out of the pit. The lid slides back to reveal Daniel.] <br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
It’s okay, Dr Jackson, you’re in the SGC. You’re going to be fine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CRYOGENICS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[In a third cryogenics room, another tank is being lifted out of a pit.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
This one has naquadah in her system, so keep her a little more dosed.]</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Raully makes some adjustments on her computer. The lid on the tank slides back to reveal Carter. She opens her eyes and starts to cough.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
It’s okay, Dr Carter, you’re in the SGC. You’re going to be fine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(whispering)<br/> <br />
SG-1?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
I’m afraid they didn’t make it, Captain. I’m sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CRYOGENICS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is sitting on a bed, touching the device implanted in her temple. Raully is at her computer console, adjusting the controls to Carter's memory device.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
There, how does that feel Captain?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Okay. Ah, it hurts a little. Listen, is this really necessary?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
Well, it’s important that we know who would have the technology to do this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Why?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
Because, Captain Carter, anyone with that technology would be a very powerfully ally against Apophis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(surprised)<br/><br />
Apophis? Isn’t he dead?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
(after a moment)<br/><br />
Well, of course he is. We’re merely trying to stimulate the region of your memory that involves doing battle with the Goa’uld. It might help us in our current battles.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Okay, well, we did fight the Goa’uld a lot.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
Tell me how you defeated Apophis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A holographic projector appears, connected to Carter's memory device.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, we gated to what we thought was their home base, but&hellip;we ended up on a Goa’uld Mothership.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PYRAMID SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 are quietly exploring the room. There is a sarcophagus in the center of the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Sarcophagus.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Oh great, more snakeheads. Teal'c, any idea which one’s in here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c, staring intently out of the window, doesn’t reply.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Teal’c?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter stands alongside Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We’re not on a planet, are we?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As they look outside, they can see they are moving through space.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
That is correct. It appears we are aboard a Goa’uld transport vessel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And that jolt was&hellip;?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
Hyper-launch.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PYRAMID SHIP, CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[A group of Jaffa pass by Carter and Daniel, who are hidden in an alcove. When the Jaffa are gone, Carter and Daniel slip out behind them and move quickly down the corridor. They come to a hanger bay full of death gliders.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CRYOGENICS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Raully is watching the images on the projector.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PYRAMID SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill, Carter, Teal'c and Bra'tac are standing above the ship’s glowing generators. <br />
<br />
<blockquote>BRA’TAC<br/><br />
The shield-generators are far below. There, in the very bowels of the ship. We must climb down several decks, through the length of the ship. Then, taking our weapons we must&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He pauses as O'Neill pulls the pins on a couple of grenades, then simply drops them over the edge. They watch as the generators explode.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PYRAMID SHIP, HANGER BAY'''<br />
<br />
[Bra’tac and O'Neill enter their death glider. Alongside them, Carter and Teal’c are doing the same.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PYRAMID SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[A pack of C4 is counting down, with only a minute to spare.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PYRAMID SHIP, CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Apophis turns away from his screen and stands beside his son Klorel. Transport rings come down from above and takes them away.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PYRAMID SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[The C4 is still counting down, with only seconds left on the timer. The death gliders containing O'Neill, Teal'c, Carter and Bra'tac begin to exit the pyramid ship.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Our time is up, we have got to go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(sitting behind Teal'c)<br/><br />
Punch it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The death gliders shoot out of the ship, just as the C4 blows. Behind them, the two pyramid ships erupt in flames.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CRYOGENICS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
Very impressive, Captain. The end of Apophis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, the beginning of the end, yes. His forces were so weakened that another Goa’uld eventually got him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CRYOGENICS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel, a device implanted in his temple, is sitting on a bed as Trofsky enters the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
So if it wasn’t Apophis, what other Goa’uld could it be?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A holographic projector appears behind Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, there seems to be a lot of them. Sokar&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC, CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Sokar’s burning image is being projected onto the Stargate’s iris.] <br />
<br />
<blockquote>SOKAR<br/><br />
People of the Tau'ri. You have taken what is mine. For this you will be destroyed.</blockquote><br />
<br />

<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Heru’ur</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;ABYDOS GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill runs down the Stargate's steps, firing his weapon at Heru'ur. But the bullets bounce off Heru’ur’s energy shield.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HERU’UR<br/><br />
You dare challenge me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He raises a ribbon device, which starts to glow. O'Neill unhooks his knife.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
I was thinking about it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He throws his knife at Heru'ur. It strikes the Goa’uld’s ribbon device, embedding itself in the center stone. Heru'ur struggles to fire his malfunctioning weapon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HERU’UR<br/><br />
You’ll pay for this insolence!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CRYOGENICS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And then of there was Hathor. She almost succeeded in doing some pretty big damage.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC, VIP ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill is standing before Hathor.] <br />
<br />
<blockquote>HATHOR<br/><br />
We must praise you and gift you a great honor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah, I’m sure that would be just great, but not right&hellip;.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He is cut off as Hathor breathes out a pink vapor, drugging him. He doesn’t resist as she begins to unbutton his shirt. Hathor pulls away her own clothing to reveal a glowing device strapped to her abdomen. She presses herself against O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HATHOR<br/><br />
Do not worry yourself. You will enjoy the rich rewards that come with what we are giving you. You will cherish the good health and long life that goes with being&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[In agony, O'Neill breaks way from her and slumps against the wall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HATHOR<br/><br />
&hellip;Hathor’s first, new Jaffa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks down at his stomach and sees he has been given a Goa’uld incubation pouch.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC'''<br />
<br />
[Hathor is sitting fully clothed in a hot, steaming bath. Daniel is kneeling at her side. They are surrounded by armed SGC soldiers who are under Hathor’s control.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HATHOR<br/><br />
We demand that the woman you call Carter be brought before us so that we may gain retribution.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Captain Carter does deserve to be punished, my Queen, but she does not know what she is doing. I beg of you to show mercy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As they talk, O'Neill and Carter covertly enter the room, armed with tranquilizer guns.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HATHOR<br/><br />
She deserves no mercy from us. She will make amends with her death.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and O'Neill shoot the SGC soldiers with tranquilizer darts.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to Hathor)<br/><br />
I don’t think so.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hathor lifts a concealed ribbon device and fires it at Carter, who is thrown against the wall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HATHOR<br/><br />
(to O'Neill)<br/><br />
You have failed us, our love. You will not fail us again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Her eyes glow and she raises the ribbon device once more. Carter, recovered, shoots at Hathor with her side-arm. The bath, containing Hathor’s Goa’uld larvae, catches fire and burning baby Goa’uld fall out onto the floor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and O'Neill quickly move in and help the tranquilized soldiers out of the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Get these airmen out of here. Daniel, let’s go, move it!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel doesn’t move as he looks on in utter shock. Meanwhile, Hathor climbs out of the burning waters and vanishes out of the room.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CRYOGENICS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The image on the holographic projector abruptly vanishes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
(to Daniel)<br/><br />
What’s wrong?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Nothing, I just&hellip;I really need to know what exactly happened to my friends.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
As I said, they were sent back through the Gate. They were already dead. That’s all I know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What about General Hammond?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
Well, I’m happy to report he lived to a ripe old age of 93.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So everyone I ever knew is basically gone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
I’m afraid so.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC, INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c, lying in a bed, opens his eyes to see Dr Fraiser standing over him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
It’s okay, it’s okay. You’re in the SGC Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[General Hammond is waiting at her side.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Good to have you back, Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
General Hammond.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He suddenly sits upright.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Easy, easy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
Where are the rest of SG-1?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Good question. We were hoping you could tell us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[Dressed in his SGC uniform, Teal'c begins to put on his jacket.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
When you didn’t return, we sent SG teams three and seven after you. They found you lying next to the Stargate. There was no trace of Colonel O'Neill, Captain Carter or Dr Jackson. We assume they were captured.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
You have no memory of this, Teal'c?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
I do. It was mixture of Horus and Serpent Guards, a very unusual combination.</blockquote><br />
<br />
Hammond and Fraiser exchange a worried glance. <br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Serving what Goa’uld?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
That I do not know. General Hammond, I will return to the planet immediately to search for the answers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He starts to head for the corridor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I can’t let you do that Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal’c pauses for a moment, then turns back to the General.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
General Hammond, I will not remain idle while my friends may be in danger on this planet.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Teal'c, you’ve been unconscious for three weeks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
That is not possible. My symbiote would have awakened me long before the period of three weeks.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
You were barely alive Teal'c, with substantial internal injury.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Dr Fraiser spent most of the three weeks at your side. I’m convinced it was her refusal to give up that kept you alive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal’c inclines his head to Fraiser.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
I am in your debt Dr Fraiser. General Hammond, permit me to return to this planet to search out my friends. If their bodies were not found by my side then they are prisoners.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
If they’re prisoners, they’re long gone from that planet. We sent out UAVs, balloons, our best rescue teams&hellip;found nothing but scorched earth. There was no trace of them. They could be moved to any Goa’uld strong hold. You’d be searching for a needle in a very large haystack.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
Perhaps. But I must try.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal’c turns away once more, but Hammond moves to stand before him, preventing him from leaving.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Teal'c, I understand your desire to do something, anything, for SG-1. I feel the same way. But I cannot expend any more resources on this. I’m sorry, request denied.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
If the people of the Tau'ri have given up hope on SG-1, then it is with great regret that I must leave this world and return to my people.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
You mean you want to leave the SGC?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
That is correct.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I can’t let you do that Teal'c. I won’t let you do it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
General Hammond. I hereby respectfully inform you&hellip;that I must take my leave of the SGC.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He slowly removes his jacket.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
Therefore I am no longer under your command.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He lets the jacket drop to the floor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I can’t allow you to do that. You represent too great a security risk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
General Hammond, I would die before divulging any information concerning this world. I believe you know that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(relenting)<br/><br />
Yes I do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
I will depart in an hour.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[This time, Hammond allows Teal'c to pass.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CYROGENICS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill, seemingly asleep, has his hand clenched around the tube feeding him the drugs. He opens his eyes and hears Trofsky and Raully arguing in Goa’uld.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TROFSKY<br/><br />
Kelmac kree, mak’tel’a!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RAULLY<br/><br />
Roc’kree’no. Ma’tal!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They both abruptly leave. An orderly is checking the readings on the computer and making adjustments. O'Neill surreptitiously pulls out the tubes, then coughs, capturing the orderly’s attention. As the man bends over him, O'Neill grabs him and knocks him out. O'Neill begins to exchange clothes with the unconscious man.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The Stargate is spinning as Teal'c’s home-world is dialed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOICE<br/><br />
(over speakers)<br/><br />
Chevron four engaged.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c, dressed in a long, pale robe, enters the Gateroom, carrying only his staff weapon. Hammond, along with a handful of SGC personnel, are waiting for him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SOLDIER<br/><br />
Ten-hut!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The soldiers come to attention.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOICE<br/><br />
(over speakers)<br/><br />
Chevron five engaged.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal’c comes to stand before Hammond.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Teal'c, you will be missed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL’C<br/><br />
(with much emotion)<br/><br />
I have learned much from you General Hammond. And I thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He bows his head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOICE<br/><br />
(over speakers)<br/><br />
Chevron six engaged.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I’ve learned a lot from you too, Teal'c. So we’re even on that account.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOICE<br/><br />
(over speakers)<br/><br />
Chevron seven is locked.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Take care of yourself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Behind Teal'c, the Stargate opens. Teal’c places his hand over his heart. Hammond and the soldiers respectfully salute him, and, slowly, Teal'c returns the gesture. He turns away and walks up the ramp. At the top, he pauses, then enters the Stargate. The wormhole closes behind him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(to the soldiers)<br/><br />
At ease.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;FALSE SGC, CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill, dressed in the orderly’s clothes, moves through the silent corridors. He uses a stolen key-card to operate the elevator and steps inside. When the doors open on the next level, he sees a Goa’uld corridor stretching out before him. Behind him, the elevator’s doors close. A pair of Jaffa suddenly appear and O'Neill quickly hides in an alcove until they pass. He wanders through the corridors, hiding when two more Jaffa appear. As he nears another elevator, the memory device implanted in his temple suddenly activates. He stumbles against the wall as he unwittingly recalls the mission aboard Apophis’ pyramid ship.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;PYRAMID SHIP'''<br />
<br />
[As O'Neill glances round a corner, a pair of Jaffa open fire. He quickly dives and rolls out, shooting the both with his zat gun.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;HATHOR’S PYRAMID, CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[Recovering from the sudden memory, O'Neill gets up off the floor and heads into the elevator.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;FALSE SGC, CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill hurries through the familiar corridors, pausing as he comes to the cryogenics room where Carter is being held. He sneaks into the room and picks up a heavy canister. As the orderly bends over the unconscious Captain, O'Neill hits him over the head with the canister.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(whispering)<br/><br />
Carter. Carter!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He detaches the tubes that are feeding Carter the drugs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(whispering)<br/><br />
Carter!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter sluggishly opens her eyes, then blinks in surprise when she sees him. O'Neill quickly puts a finger to his lips signaling for silence.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(whispering)<br/><br />
I thought you were dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Her memory device activates and the holographic projector starts up.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c are in the Gateroom, attempting to send a device back to the planet SG-1 took it from. The device suddenly activates and spikes start to shoot out.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(in the Control Room)<br/><br />
Get out of there!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A spike barely misses Teal'c, but one catches O'Neill through the shoulder and pins him to the wall. Carter runs into the Gateroom and rushes over to O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She takes a look at the spike holding him against the wall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It’s right through his shoulder into the concrete&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;FALSE SGC, CRYOGENICS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill detaches the wire leading to Carter's memory device and the holographic projector vanishes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Whoa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(whispering)<br/><br />
Yeah. These things have a nasty habit of going off when you least expect it. Try not to think too much.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
They said&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
They’re Goa’uld, Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel? Teal'c?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Don’t know yet. Think you can walk?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter sits upright.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The drugs must have prevented me from sensing the naquadah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill nods towards the unconscious orderly.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Trade clothes with that guy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;FALSE SGC, CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[Carter and O'Neill cautiously make their way through the fake SGC facility.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sure looks like the SGC.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They enter the elevator and exit at the pyramid level.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Wow, this looks just like&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(quickly)<br/><br />
Don’t think about it, you’ll set that thing off&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[But he’s too late and Carter's memory device activates.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(clutching her temple)<br/><br />
Ow!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A group of Jaffa, led by Raully approaches. O'Neill grabs Carter, covering her mouth to prevent her making any noise, and drags her behind a wall. Raully and the Jaffa enter the elevator without seeing them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(whispering)<br/><br />
Can we take these things off?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
I don’t know, you tell me. Mine’s in pretty deep.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, you’re right, pulling them out might cause some pretty nasty collateral damage.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
No, we don’t want that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They head down the corridor and enter the third elevator.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;FALSE SGC, CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[They enter another set of corridors, exactly like the SGC.]<br />
<br />

<br />
'''INT&mdash;FALSE SGC, CRYOGENICS ROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Daniel. Daniel!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel opens his eyes to see O'Neill and Carter standing by his bed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don’t understand, they said&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
They’re Goa’uld, Daniel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What year is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
1999, more than likely.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So this is all a hoax?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Big hoax. I’d say so.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I have more questions, but that can wait.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Ya, come on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;FALSE SGC, CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 move quietly down the corridors, looking for a way out. O'Neill yanks open a door, but finds only blank wall behind.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Damned cost cutting.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This facade is obviously part of a bigger Goa’uld facility, complete with Horus and Serpent Guards.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What? Horus and Serpent? That’s kind of an odd alliance, isn’t it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;FALSE SGC, GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter, O'Neill and Daniel enter the fake Gateroom.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I’ve never seen this place so deserted.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Guess they figure they don’t need to keep up the act if we’re unconscious.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill experimentally kicks the Stargate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
It’s fake.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel yanks open a locker, but finds it empty.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don’t understand. Who would have spent enough time in the base to be able to reproduce it in this kind of detail? You don’t think Apophis&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>VOICE<br/><br />
Silence!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[At the top of the Stargate ramp, the air suddenly shimmers and Hathor appears. She heads down the ramp towards Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
(as Hathor passes him)<br/><br />
Oh, I was so hoping never to see you again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Raully and Trofsky, armed with zats, appear from each of the gate room’s exits, along with a dozen, armed Jaffa. Hathor makes her way down to Daniel and strokes his face.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HATHOR<br/><br />
We have indeed missed you, our beloved.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Daniel, don’t let her breathe on you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HATHOR<br/><br />
You think that we would go to these lengths if you were not already immune to that organism?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter shoots O'Neill a look, but he simply shrugs. Hathor leaves Daniel and walks lazily around her Jaffa guards. Daniel joins O'Neill and Carter on the Stargate ramp.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HATHOR<br/><br />
Do you like our guards? We managed to lure them from the remote outposts of our enemies. We are quietly building our forces before the System Lords even know that we are alive. But doing so is difficult when we have to operate with limited knowledge of the state of the empire.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill holds up his hand.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Let me take a guess, it’s just a wild guess, but that’s where we come in, right?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We know more than you do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HATHOR<br/><br />
Perhaps. We are prepared to offer you a life of luxury as servants in our royal court, for sharing information. Deny us&hellip;and you will not enjoy the alternative.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She comes to stand before O'Neill, waiting for an answer.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
You know&hellip;you really should do something about the breath.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HATHOR<br/><br />
How do we contact the Asgard so that we might align with their forces?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O’NEILL<br/><br />
Try Roswell, little place in New Mexico.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HATHOR<br/><br />
(moving onto Carter)<br/><br />
What is the sequence of numbers necessary to open the barricade protecting your Stargate?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[When Carter doesn’t answer, Hathor turns away.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HATHOR<br/><br />
If you will not give us the information that we desire, we do have another means of retrieving it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She snaps her finger and a Jaffa enters the Gateroom, moving to stand before her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HATHOR<br/><br />
An opportunity has presented itself, at a most&hellip;fortuitous time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She reaches into the Jaffa’s pouch and pulls out a writhing, adult Goa’uld. She holds it out for SG-1 to see.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HATHOR<br/><br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''FADE IN'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;NASYA'''<br />
<br />
[The episode opens with a shot of a statue depicting a bearded man. In the background, an explosion rocks a peaceful beachfront. A Goa'uld death glider sweeps over the scene, rising back into the sky. The camera follows the glider's path of destruction, revealing fleeing villagers and more explosions across the beach. SG-1 and at least one other team is there, alternating between firing at the gliders and rushing back to the Gate. Carter drops to her knees next to one injured man, removing her helmet. O'Neill, cradling a child in his arms, runs past her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Let's go, Captain. Those gliders are coming back around!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This man's alive!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(forcefully)<br/><br />
Cannot wait!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The glider fires again, sweeping past an active Stargate. Daniel is standing on the stairs leading to the event horizon, ducking to protect himself from the attack. When the glider is past, he stands again and waves for the remaining Nasyans.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay, come on, come on. Don't panic, we'll have you out of here in a minute.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Teal'c!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He hands over the boy]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I gotta go back for Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He turns and runs back down the beach. Daniel hurries away from the Gate to two villagers, one of whom is badly burnt and unconscious.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(to the conscious Nasyan)<br/><br />
Go, go, I got him&hellip;<br/><br />
(calls)<br/><br />
Medic! He's alive, but I think he's gonna wish he wasn't. Let's get him outta here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He helps the Medic carry the man away.]<br />
<br />
[Carter is still doing chest compressions on the same man. She listens at his mouth, then breaths. She listens again, lowering her head to breath again. This time, the man reaches up and cups the back of her head, holding her in place. She struggles, finally escaping and turning to one side. She hangs her head, then looks up. Her eyes flash yellow&hellip;she's a Goa'uld! O'Neill runs up, missing the eye flash.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter! We've got to go!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She turns to face him, dazed. He sees blood on her lip.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You alright?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Let's get him outta here, come on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He starts to pick the man up, but Carter stops him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Dead! Had some kind of seizure. Bit his own tongue.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They run to the Stargate, apparently the last ones to go through. The gate room has been turned into some kind of emergency triage. Medics are scurrying about, seeing who they can save and transporting others to the infirmary. Hammond is standing in the corner, watching the chaos around him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(shouting over the din)<br/> <br />
I want a full medical quarantine until these people can be examined. <br/><br />
(walking up the ramp towards Daniel)<br/> <br />
Colonel O'Neill and the rest?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(pulls off his glasses, rubbing one eye)<br/> <br />
Right behind me, and a dozen Jaffa right behind them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill, Carter and Teal'c come through the Gate, Carter in the middle and leaning on Teal'c's side.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Lock it up!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter looks back up at the iris.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Carter? You okay?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, fine. Thanks. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She slowly scans the room.]<br />
<br />

<br />
'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 and a member of another team are present. Daniel is handing out a report and takes his seat, already speaking.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
There hadn't been any Goa'uld interference on this planet for over three centuries. The Nasyans are a&hellip;were a peaceful people. They were eager to form an alliance and aid us in setting up a research outpost. There was no warning this attack was coming. We hadn't even spotted the mothership by the time the Gliders assaulted the village.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
It's not normal for the Goa'ulds to suddenly just show up and wipe out peaceful people for no apparent reason, is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
In the past there was usually some reason, most often they seem to attack civilisations that are advancing to a point where their technology could be a threat, but that wasn't the case here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Maybe they found out we were there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, how could they know? Or more importantly, why did this particular Goa'uld care?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
They might have been a little concerned because we just kicked the crap out of Apophis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, the truth is we still understand very little about their society.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I have seen the Goa'uld wipe out entire civilizations&mdash;no reason, simply because it gave them pleasure.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So what, Nasya was just next on the list? Part of me wishes it was that simple, but I don't want to underestimate them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(coldly)<br/> <br />
Maybe their reasons just weren't made apparent to you, Teal'c. I mean, you are just a Jaffa.<br/> (off everyone's startled reactions, covers her tracks)<br/> All&hellip;all I meant was that Apophis wouldn't necessarily have explained everything to Teal'c even if he was First Prime. Would he? </blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
That is true.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I agree with Sam. I think we have to assume the Goa'uld are more complex as a society than we're giving them credit for.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The better you understand the enemy the better prepared you are in conflict.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill appears surprised by this statement.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Exactly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What's the status of the Nasyan survivors?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, we managed to recuse 237 people. The critically burned and some of the overflow our infirmary couldn't handle were transferred to the Air Force Academy hospital. The rest are awaiting relocation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Proceed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Sir, I think it's important to try and find the reason why Nasya became a Goa'uld target.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Agreed. But relocation is the first priority. I'm assigning the three new SG teams 10 through 12 to coordinate with you. Dismissed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Everyone stands and leaves, except for Carter and O'Neill who are gathering their things. O'Neill glances at her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, Carter, I hate to be a nag about this but ol' Doc Fraiser says you haven't been checked out yet?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'll go right now. Wouldn't want to break post-mission protocol, right, Colonel? </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She slugs his shoulder, causing him to pause for a moment.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[Scene opens on the back of Carter's neck. Fingers in rubber gloves appear, parting the hair and gently massaging the back of Carter's neck for signs of Goa'uld entry. She slides her hand back towards the front, checking the glands under Carter's jaw.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Sorry to have to do this. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She turns and picks up a tongue depressor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
All right, open. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter obeys and Fraiser shines a flashlight in her mouth.] <br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
You had a sore throat lately?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
A little, why?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
There's a small abrasion back there. I have to do a swab. <br/><br />
(opens a package)<br/> <br />
And open. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She inserts the swab. Carter nearly gags as Fraiser takes the sample.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Cassandra's been asking about you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(obviously lost)<br/> <br />
Cassandra&hellip;Yeah, I've been so busy lately.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
She understands. Okay! You just let me know if it gets worse.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm free to go out tomorrow, though, right? We're searching for possible relocation sites for the Nasyans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Sure. Cassandra's gonna be at the hospital with me tomorrow, so why don't you stop by and spend a little time with her first, you know, if you can.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I will.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;USAF ACADEMY HOSPITAL'''<br />
<br />
[Fraiser is standing next to a patient's bed, speaking into a small tape recorder. The patient is completely wrapped in gauze, his eyes and mouth the only parts visible.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Patient has third degree burns to over 80% of his body. So far no signs of infection. <br/><br />
(turns off tape recorder and mutters)<br/> <br />
Incredible.<br/><br />
(turns as Carter enters)<br/> <br />
Hey. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She begins making notes in the folder she's holding.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Is this one of the Nasyans we saved?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Yeah, he should be dead. Cassandra is in my office. Now, I still have rounds to make, but you know where it is?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Fraiser offers a smile before turning, leaving the patient's room. Carter lags behind, looking suspiciously at the man. She turns and leaves. When the door closes, the man's chest suddenly lights up and glows, beams of light flowing towards the center of his abdomen.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;FRAISER'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Cassandra is painting a picture of two people standing under a rainbow. She smudges her finger with yellow paint and adds some color to the rainbow as Carter approaches from outside. She knocks, coming in as Cassie is turning around.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hey there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CASSANDRA<br/><br />
Sam! </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She runs to Carter, then realizes she has yellow paint on her fingers. She turns back and wipes them off.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Wow, nice painting.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CASSANDRA<br/><br />
You really like it? My teacher at school says I have talent.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I love it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Cassandra runs to Carter. Carter kneels to embrace the girl.] <br />
<br />
<blockquote>CASSANDRA<br/><br />
I missed you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I know, I'm sorry. I've been so busy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CASSANDRA<br/><br />
Very busy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Cassandra's eyes widen as they embrace. Carter can feel the girl tense. Cassie ends the hug and backs up as Carter rises.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Cassandra, what is it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The girl doesn't answer, instead running across the room and hiding behind the couch. Carter, realizing she's been discovered, tightens her jaw and her eyes glow. She moves quickly across the room.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CONTROL CENTER'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond and O'Neill are standing next to the star map, apparently examining possible relocation sites for the Nasyans.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
It would be earier on the Nasyans if there were already an active civilization willing to cooperate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I'll bet you the folks on P3X-422 would be willing&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TECHNICIAN<br/><br />
(interrupting)<br/> <br />
Colonel O'Neill, there's an urgent call for you, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(going to the phone)<br/> <br />
O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;USAF ACADEMY HOSPITAL'''<br />
<br />
[Fraiser is escorting O'Neill down the hall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Thanks for coming so quickly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What's going on with her?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
I'm not sure, she won't talk to me. She said she'd see you and only you. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[They reach a door and Fraiser tries the knob, but it's locked. She looks up at O'Neill, then knocks.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Cassandra, it's just me honey. I've got Colonel O'Neill with me. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[Cassie is visible approaching the door from inside. She turns the lock, then turns and retreats back into the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(waves his hand)<br/> <br />
Hey. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[When he gets no response. He approaches her and presses his back to the wall, sliding down until he's sitting next to her.] <br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Janet says you've been a little upset since Carter was here. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[Cassie moves over, letting him put his arm around her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What happened?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CASSANDRA<br/><br />
She said she'd kill me if I told.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, you don't mean kill you, kill you. <br/><br />
(Cassie nods)<br/> <br />
No, I doubt that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CASSANDRA<br/><br />
She said she would.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Fraiser is obviously upset and kneels in front of Cassie.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(firmly)<br/> <br />
Cass, Sam loves you. She'd never do anything to hurt you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CASSANDRA<br/><br />
She would now. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She puts her head on O'Neill's shoulder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Why?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CASSANDRA<br/><br />
She's a Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC HALLWAY'''<br />
<br />
[Carter turns a corner, walking quickly towards her destination. She pushes her way into the locker room where Daniel and Teal'c are preparing. She looks around the room, then turns to them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(angrily)<br/> <br />
Where's the Colonel? We're due to get out of here in five minutes!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, he left us a message. Said he'd meet us in the Gate room.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, step on it then! </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She storms out.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(to Teal'c)<br/> <br />
What was that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The Stargate is stationary. Carter is pacing before the ramp and glares up at the Control Room. Fraiser, Hammond and a technician are watching her. She sighs and continues to pace, looking back up at the Stargate. The left-side doors open and Daniel enters with Teal'c. <br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Where's Colonel O'NEILL?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill enters from the right-side doors, behind Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Stand down, campers. We're on a hold.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Why?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(moving to Carter's side)<br/> <br />
I dunno, some computer glitch. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He casually raises his arm and jams his fist against her right shoulder. She jerks away, looking where he hit her. He lowers his arm, revealing a syringe.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(angrily)<br/> <br />
What the hell was that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
(disbelieving)<br/> <br />
That was enough to take down an elephant!</blockquote><br />
<br />
Carter picks up a rifle, turning it on O'Neill and affecting a deep, Goa'uld voice<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
Open the Stargate!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Jack, what the hell is going on?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
Open the Gate now! <br/><br />
(calmly)<br/> <br />
I command you. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter's eyes flash.]<br />
<br />
[An airman rushes forward, raising his gun and shooting her in the right leg with a tranquilizer dart. She pulls it out and raises her gun to attack him, but O'Neill knocks her arm down. She escapes his grip and punches him, knocking the colonel to the ground with a grunt and rolling towards the wall. Teal'c steadies his staff weapon. <br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
Open the Gate now&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She pulls a grenade from her supplies and takes the pin out and drops it.] <br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
&hellip;or we will all die!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Other airmen raise their guns to fire.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(standing)<br/> <br />
Hold your fire! Teal'c&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill waves for him to lower the staff and Teal'c does.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>AIRMAN<br/><br />
I have the shot, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
And if she drops that grenade, what? <br/><br />
(To Carter/Jolinar)<br/> <br />
Nobody's gonna open that Stargate. We're all gonna live, or we're all gonna die, right here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
Let me go! I must go!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(firmly)<br/> <br />
Not gonna happen.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The drugs finally begin to take effect and she slowly crumples to the ground. O'Neill lunges forward, wrapping his hand around hers and holding the grenade tightly. Fraiser turns, hurrying out of the control room. The airmen approach and O'Neill hands Carter over, allowing them to take her away. He bends<br />
down, picking up the grenade and replacing the pin. O'Neill, Daniel and Teal'c watch them take their teammate away.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel, O'Neill and Teal'c are all standing, with Fraiser and Hammond seated. Fraiser is checking her medical reports on Carter as O'Neill approaches the table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
I didn't know. I wasn't sure until I saw her lose it down there. Cassie was the one who suspected.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Cassandra still has traces of naquadah in her blood. I think there may be some connection&mdash;a reaction that made her sense the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
How in the world did it get into Captain Carter?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Sir, I don't know what to say. I examined Captain Carter myself. There were no visible signs of entry. I mean, she had a small abrasion on the back of her throat, but it could have been anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Are you saying it entered through her mouth?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
The parasite's goal is to attach itself to the brain stem. The soft tissue at the back of the throat is as good a place as any to start.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(rubbing the bridge of his nose)<br/> <br />
Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute. Oh my God, she was giving some guy on that planet mouth-to-mouth. There was blood but she said the guy just bit his tongue before he died.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
If a Goa'uld can infest a human with no detectable physical signs, then we're gonna have to start giving all personnel who go through the Gate an ultrasound or an MRI.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
For now, let's make sure we haven't let any more Goa'ulds through the Gate this time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
What would a Goa'uld be doing in a Nasyan man in the first place? I mean, we certainly didn't notice any of them acting&hellip;Goa'uld-ish.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Maybe it was a setup, trying to get a spy into one of us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is possible the Goa'uld within Captain Carter has already placed a device of destruction on this base.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
If there's any tampering here, I want it found. Teal'c, I'd like you to help. You know better than anyone what to look for. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c nods his agreement.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Oh, what are we going to do about Sam?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We're gonna get that damn thing out of her is what we're gonna do!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, that didn't really work with Kawalsky. And if any of those NID guys like Colonel Maybourne find out about this, then&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, they're not going to! Right, General?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Agreed. I'm not giving up on Captain Carter, either. But until someone presents me with a viable option, I'm putting you in charge of interrogating the prisoner.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Due respect, Sir, I don't think that thing in her head's going to tell me anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Colonel, we need to know what that Goa'uld's doing here. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond walks out.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(softly)<br/> <br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;USAF ACADEMY HOSPITAL'''<br />
<br />
[A doctor is entering the room with the bandaged man, otherwise known as the Ashrak. He is walking backwards, leading a cart with a monitor on it into the room. We later learn his name is Dr. Jacobs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JACOBS<br/><br />
Sorry to bother you. Just a quick test here. Okay now, we're gonna have to get rid of some of those bandages. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[As he bends over the patient to begin cutting, the Ashrak's hand shoots up and grabs the doctor by the throat.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;USAF ACADEMY HOSPITAL'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel walks into another room at the hospital. A woman is standing by the window, looking outside. We learn soon her name is Talia.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(seeing the woman standing)<br/> <br />
Oh. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She turns and walks back to her bed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Excuse me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TALIA<br/><br />
(crossing her arms over her chest, her voice shaky)<br/> <br />
Your world is an amazing place.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />

You are one of the men responsible for saving us.</blockquote><br />

Yeah.</blockquote><br />

'''INT&mdash;SGC locker room'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill is sitting on one of the benches, staring off into space. Teal'c enters.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Thought you were helping with the sweep of the base.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I am on my way. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He raises his head slightly and moves to sit behind O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
This is difficult.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yeah. Yeah, it is.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Assault the Goa'uld's ego. Make him appear foolish. He may then reveal the things you wish to learn simply to make himself appear more powerful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah, come on, Teal'c. They're smarter than that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I have seen many Goa'uld strategies revealed and certain victories lost because of Goa'uld arrogance. It is the Goa'uld's greatest weakness.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(sighs)<br/> <br />
Yeah. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He stands and walks to the door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill. When you speak to her, do not see your friend.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
How do you do that? </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He walks off.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;Holding Cells'''<br />
<br />
[Red laser beams are projected behind the bars. Carter/Jolinar is standing in the center of the cell, her hands clasped behind her back in typical Goa'uld fashion. O'Neill knocks and the guard posted checks the window before letting him in. O'Neill looks in the cell, then waves the guard out. The man obediently leaves.] <br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
So, you and I have got to have a little talk. You really screwed up here, you know. I mean, you really blew it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
(shaking her head)<br/> <br />
You are weak.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Who's behind bars right now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
Your tactics will not work on me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Not buying it, huh?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
You must let me go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah&hellip;no.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
You really have no idea why this is happening. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She sits down on the cot.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(muttering)<br/> <br />
And I guess you don't feel like telling me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She crosses her arms defensively across her chest, her face hidden by shadows.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TALIA'S HOSPITAL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel and Talia are sitting on the bed. He hands her a photograph.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
This is a picture of the man the Goa'uld came from.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TALIA<br/><br />
(Looking at the picture, touching the man's face)<br/> <br />
It's my husband.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
One of the other Nasyans recognized him, and we found this in our video archive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TALIA<br/><br />
(voice shaky)<br/> <br />
And something was inside of him?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I know how difficult this is for you. I lost my wife to the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TALIA<br/><br />
I'm sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It's important that you tell me if you noticed anything different about your husband lately. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She shakes her head negatively.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I mean, anything, an injury, uh, new scars, maybe a&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TALIA<br/><br />
Wait&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She touches Daniel just below his right ear.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TALIA<br/><br />
Here. But it was months ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Months ago? You never noticed anything since then? </blockquote><br />
<br />
[Talia shakes her head no.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I mean, he wasn't acting strange? I mean, wasn't violent, I mean his eyes didn't glow? </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She turns away, her eyes tearing up and Daniel realizes he's being a little too enthusiastic.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'm sorry. Why don't I let you rest?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Talia nods and Daniel leaves. As he's leaving, he walks past the Ashrak's room. The camera moves in to reveal bed is empty and Dr. Jacobs is laying unconscious on the floor. The Ashrak is standing in the bathroom, looking at himself in the mirror. He pulls the mask off his face and then unravels the gloves on his hand. He appears to choke, then leans forward and spits something into the sink. It's a Goa'uld device shaped like a Y that he fits over the middle fingers of his right hand. It activates, three white beams coming together to make a ball of light about an inch away from his palm. He smiles happily.]<br />
<br />
[Some time later, Fraiser arrives. She sees Dr. Jacobs's supplies on the bed and sighs at her colleague's absent-mindedness, picking the tubes up and placing them on the cart. She walks to the top of the bed, checking the stats and marking what they say on her chart. She walks out, not realizing that the man in the bed is Dr. Jacobs.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC HOLDING CELLS'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill is glaring at Carter/Jolinar through the bars. She is staring back, her eyes hidden by shadows. Finally, she breaks the silence.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
Let me go. <br/><br />
(stands up and approaches the bars)<br/> <br />
Let me go through the Stargate. I will find another host and send your friend back to you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(stands as well)<br/> <br />
You can do that? Leave a host without killing them?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
Yes. It is possible, but not easy. I could die, but I promise I will try.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
The Nasyan man died when you left him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
(closes her eyes)<br/> <br />
The Nasyan man died first, that is why I left him. He was beyond my natural abilities to heal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What were you doing in him in the first place?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
Carter's mind would be intact. She would return to you as you knew her before.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You know I can't trust you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
I could have killed you and many others when you stopped me from going through the Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You didn't want to die yourself.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
It would not have killed me. I am too valuable.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Which is exactly why we'll never let you go. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He walks to the door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
I have done nothing to harm you. But you would not let me go even if you did believe me. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She pauses, then speaks in Carter's regular voice.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh God, he's telling you the truth! Please, Jack! </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He looks down, obviously disturbed as he knocks for the guard.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, Jack! Please, don't leave me, please! Give me a chance! </blockquote><br />
<br />
[The door opens and O'Neill leaves.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Don't leave me like this! Please! </blockquote><br />
<br />
[Turning cold again, once again speaking in Goa'uld tones.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
What will it take?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;USAF ACADEMY HOSPITAL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The Ashrak pushes open a curtain. He has changed clothes with the doctor, now wearing a blue Air Force shirt and a lab jacket. He glares at the patient on the hospital bed. He opens his hand, revealing the Goa'uld device still on his hand. He holds it over the unconscious patient's head, revealing the man's skull. The device deactivates and the Ashrak leaves.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC HOLDING CELL'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c enters the room, assuming the hands-behind-back position.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You have requested my presence?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
Jaffa, you must convince the humans to let me go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
They will not let you go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
They are impressive. The Tau'ri have become very powerful in the time since the Goa'uld reign here. Certainly the System Lords will not allow this to go unchecked. I can provide the humans with information that can help them defend against attack.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
They are more powerful than you know. Already, a Goa'uld attack on Earth has been thwarted.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
Then a more powerful assault is already being planned.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
They are not fools. They believe you are here to plant a seed of that destruction.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
(approaches the bars)<br/> <br />
Not all Goa'uld are the same. There are a few that oppose the System Lords and their ways. You must have heard of the Tok'ra.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(steps forward)<br/> <br />
Every Goa'uld seeks power for his own reason and would betray his own brother to achieve it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
Some seek power for a greater purpose. Not every Goa'uld is an enemy to the people of this planet. The Tok'ra are real, no matter what Apophis has told you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I have yet to meet one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
You have now. I am Jolinar of Malkshur.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c's eyes widen. He turns, giving her one last look before he leaves the room using his card.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TALIA'S HOSPITAL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel enters to see a doctor standing over the bed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Oh, uh, excuse me, sorry. I just wanted to check on Talia. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[The doctor turns, revealing that it is the Ashrak.] <br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
How is she?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASHRAK<br/><br />
(off-handedly)<br/> <br />
She's good. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He walks off. Daniel approaches the bed, looking at Talia and then looking back over his shoulder.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;USAF ACADEMY HOSPITAL CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[A staff member is walking down the hall, carrying a stack of blue folders. Fraiser exits a room and stops her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Rita, have you seen Doctor Jacobs recently?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>RITA<br/><br />
Uh-uh.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
(sighs and looks to the side)<br/> <br />
Okay, uh, what about the most recent bloodwork done on the patient in 412? </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She eyes the stack of folders.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PETER<br/><br />
(looking through the folders)<br/> <br />
Here it is.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Good, thanks. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[Rita walks off as Fraiser opens the file. Her eyes widen and she rushes down the hall, bursting into 412 and peeling back the bandages to reveal her suspicions are correct; the man in the bed is the missing doctor.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Dr. Jacobs! </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She looks at the monitor, confused.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC HOLDING CELLS'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c and O'Neill are going to visit Carter/Jolinar.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
There is an old legend among the Jaffa for them to speak of concerning a group of Goa'uld who opposed the ways of the System Lords. This group is called the Tok'ra. This Goa'uld, Jolinar of Malkshur, claims to be part of that group.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Can you be sure he is who he says he is?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I cannot.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
Unfortunately, we do not carry identification.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Okay, let's try to build a little trust here, shall we? One of the Nasyans we brought back was very badly burned. But somehow he just got up out of his hospital bed and disappeared. Who is he?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
It must be the Ashrak.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks to Teal'c for translation.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It means hunter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
A Goa'uld?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
Yes. An assassin of the highest rank who carries out the orders of the System Lords.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Who's he here to kill?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
Me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1, minus Carter, is present, informing Hammond of what they've discovered.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The missing Nasyan is an Ashrak. A Goa'uld assassin sent by the System Lords to eliminate Jolinar.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
That's the name of the Goa'uld in Sam?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is. Jolinar once tried to overthrow one of the System Lords but was defeated when Apophis joined the battle. He escaped during the slaughter of his armies.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It seems this Jolinar is wanted in Goa'uld town.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
He claims to be part of the Tok'ra.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(peering out at the Stargate, turns at that word)<br/> <br />
Resistance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The Tok'ra is a small alliance of Goa'uld who oppose the System Lords. It was my teacher Bra'tac who first spoke to me of them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Well, this Goa'uld inside Carter could be lying&hellip;Spinning a tale to gain our trust.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It's quite a spin.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
The sweep of the base has turned up no evidence. There's been no tampering with the base computer. We can't find a single sign of sabotage.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(walks to the table)<br/> <br />
That's why Jolinar didn't reveal himself to be a Goa'uld. He was actually hiding out in the Nasyan man.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Until he was hunted down by the Ashrak. When he realised we may have helped him escape through the Stargate&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
He improvised. So where are we?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Bottom line, Sir? We may have a Goa'uld out there who's on a mission to kill Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />

And we don't even know what he looks like.</blockquote><br />

He doesn't even know for sure you're here on this planet, let alone in this base.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
He is Goa'uld, he will find me. It's what he does. Letting me go, trusting me, is the only chance of saving your friend Samantha.</blockquote><br />

Then I'm sorry. <br/><br />
(steps forward)<br/> <br />
I'm sorry, Sam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
Alive, I can be a powerful ally. Dead, I am useless to you.</blockquote><br />

<br />

Well, that may be so, but this many be the only chance we have to see Carter again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I believe Jolinar speaks the truth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Look, he told me about this resistance. Now, they have a totally different way of life from the Goa'uld we know. They don't believe in taking hosts against their will.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Right, like Carter and this Nasyan guy?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, he had no choice. He wants to leave Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
But if they don't believe in taking hosts, how do they survive?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They take humans who are about to die. Who choose to continue to live and co-exist with the Goa'uld. Now according to Jolinar this can be a rewarding relationship.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Daniel, I'm sorry, I know what this means to you. But I will never, never trust a Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />

<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c run to an elevator and push the button, quickly entering.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;HOLDING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Two airmen are crumpled on the floor. The camera pans up, revealing that the Ashrak is standing over the bodies holding a gun. He turns the weapon over in his hand and then approaches the cell.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASHRAK<br/><br />
Interesting weapons these humans use. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He steps over one of the dead airmen and rips open the cell door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASHRAK<br/><br />
(in Goa'uld voice,)<br/> <br />
Kree shak, Jolinar. By decree of the Goa'uld System Lords you will die with dishonor by the power of the Hara'kash. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He activates the device on his hand.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/JOLINAR<br/><br />
Hear this. The days of the Goa'uld System Lords are numbered. Tell them that I died with hope. My death only feeds the fire that burns strong in the Tok'ra.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Ashrak raises his hand and hits Carter/Jolinar with the device, apparently the Hara'kash. Her head is thrown violently back, her skull exposed where the light is shining on it. She grimaces, her eyes wide with pain. Eventually, she collapses to the floor. The Ashrak keeps up his assault until he's certain she's down for the count. He disengages the device just as airmen rush in with guns ready. He stands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASHRAK<br/><br />
She's dead. Let's go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They leave the cell, passing Teal'c and O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASHRAK<br/><br />
(as he runs past)<br/> <br />
Colonel, the prisoner and two guards, dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c go inside, pausing to check the airmen. O'Neill goes inside the cell, kneeling next to Carter's body.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
These two are dead.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Sam, Sam! Sam. Teal'c, get a medical team down here right away. Come on, Sam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[The doors open and medics roll in a gurney. Carter is laying motionless on the bed, Fraiser straddling one of her legs and performing CPR. Fraiser is yelling orders as she's wheeled in.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Let's get her on the table. I want an EKG and an EEG stat! </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She climbs off Carter and prepares to lift her off the bed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Okay, on my count. Three, two, one, good. Whoa, where's my epi? 1 milligram. Epi's in&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Teal'c watch, out of the way of the medics and looking like they feel useless.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The Stargate is active. Daniel escorts Talia to the event horizon, hugging himself.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TALIA<br/><br />
Thank you, for everything your people have done for us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You're going to be okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TALIA<br/><br />
I hope your friend will also be well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[Fraiser and a medic are working frantically to save Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEDIC 1<br/><br />
Pulse is erratic.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
We're getting feedback from the EEG. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She frowns at the reading.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
What is this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEDIC 1<br/><br />
Looks like interference. Two signals.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Well, isolate them! We could be picking up separate brain waves from the parasite.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is still standing at the Stargate when a group of airmen rush in, led by the Ashrak. The Stargate is disengaged and the Ashrak turns to look at the Control Center. Daniel walks down the ramp, looking at the man. He recognizes the Ashrak from Talia's room at the hospital.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hey, I know you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Ashrak grabs Daniel and sticks a gun against his head.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASHRAK<br/><br />
Do not try and stop me or I will kill him!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[Things have calmed down, but Carter isn't out of the woods. O'Neill steps forward, looking at the read-outs.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Doc?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
I dunno, I've never dealt with this type of situation before. The Goa'uld looks like it's dying and taking Carter with it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks down at Carter's unconscious form.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond is speaking to the Ashrak through the intercom.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Release him, and no harm will come to you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASHRAK<br/><br />
Turn it back on!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
We can't do that. Let him go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASHRAK<br/><br />
Turn the Gate back on now, or he dies!</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[A medic checks the read-outs, then turns to O'Neill and Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEDIC 1<br/><br />
The parasite is still getting weaker.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>INTERCOM<br/><br />
(as klaxons and red lights begin)<br/> <br />
Security alert, intruder in the embarkation room, code red!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill turns to Teal'c, nodding at the door.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(softly)<br/> <br />
Go&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c leaves.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEDIC 1<br/><br />
Parasite energy level is still falling.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[The Ashrak is still backing towards the inactive Stargate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
They're not gonna let you go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ASHRAK<br/><br />
Silence! Open the Stargate! </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He shoots shoots the bulletproof glass in front of Hammond, causing the general to duck.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Let's cardiovert one more time. 30 joules.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATE ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Teal'c strides purposefully in, a zat gun at his side.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I am sorry Daniel Jackson.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He fires, hitting both Daniel and the Ashrak with the first shot. Daniel collapses and opens Teal'c's line of fire. The Ashrak begins to steady his gun to fire again, but Teal'c shoots him a second time before he can. The Ashrak jerks, falling to the ramp. Teal'c lowers his zat and walks to the ramp, kneeling next to a jerking Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Are you injured?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(strained)<br/> <br />
Dumb question. But, thank you. I think.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
You are welcome.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Just don't ever do that again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[The monitor is registering a flatline.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
The parasite is dead. <br/><br />
(turns to looks at O'Neill before she continues)<br/><br />
Try another milligram of epi, then prepare for de-fib. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[They snap to action.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEDIC 1<br/><br />
She's out of de-fib!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
She's got a pulse! </blockquote><br />
<br />
[Fraiser pulls on stethoscope and listens.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MEDIC 1<br/><br />
Faint but stable.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The medic applies a bag, possibly helping Carter to start breathing again. Fraiser looks up at a monitor, smiling at what she sees. The bag is pulled away and Carter opens her eyes, weakly looking around.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You did it Sam&hellip;You won.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(shaking her head, weak)<br/> <br />
It wasn't me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, yes it was. You hung in there, you beat it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The Goa'uld gave its life for me. It saved me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Fraiser and O'Neill look at each other as Carter rests her head once more.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel enters with a rather large assortment of flowers. He sits the flowers on the table, then walks to Carter's bedside and sits. She is lying on her side, staring off into space.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hey Sam, how's it going tonight? </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She doesn't answer.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;HALLWAY'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel exits, finding O'Neill, Cassandra and Fraiser waiting for him. He crosses his arms.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
She's still the same.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CASSANDRA<br/><br />
Janet said that the Goa'uld left after it died.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, that's right. Um, it died and her body's absorbing it. She's the same old Samantha Carter. Same person we've always known.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(rubbing the girl's arm)<br/> <br />
Cassie, she's just a little sad right now. But I'll bet she cheers up when she sees you. <br/><br />
(patting her arm)<br/> <br />
Come on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Cassandra enters the hospital room and walks to Carter's bedside. She turns, seeing O'Neill, Fraiser and Daniel watching from the doorway. She climbs onto the side of the bed and lightly touches Carter's shoulder.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CASSANDRA<br/><br />
Sam, it's me. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[She gets no response. Cassie easily turns Carter over and she looks up with extremely tired and sad eyes. She looks on the verge of tears. Cassie smiles reassuringly.] <br />
<br />
<blockquote>CASSANDRA<br/><br />
You're going to be okay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Fraiser smiles at O'Neill. Carter exhales sharply, closing her eyes for a moment before looking back up at the young girl.]<br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''FADE IN'''<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;P5C 353'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 are on a moonlike surface in astronaut suits.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Anybody home?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Jack, it may as well be the moon out here. If there ever was anybody home, they've been gone a hundred thousand years or more.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CORRIDOR LEADING INTO A HALL'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 enter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
This world is definitely Tal'ac. Though it once supported life, it is now extinct.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, the probe picked up an EM source coming from something.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
My guess&hellip;that thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill's flashlight shines upon a small globe like structure on top of a pedestal. SG-1 approaches the pedestal to get a better look.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It has the same EM frequency we picked up from the probe. Sir, this artifact or whatever it is, is definitely the source.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Are we in danger?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No sir, I don't think so. Not at the moment. But, I mean this is incredible. If Daniel is right, this artifact has been doing this since Neanderthals were still a dominant species on earth.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah, that takes me back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Look at this writing of some kind, it's so tiny.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
What does it do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, it's maintaining an interior temperature of thirty three degrees Fahrenheit, it's generating an electromagnetic field and emitting small amounts of alpha, gamma, and delta radiation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, I know that. Why does it do that? I'm trying to make a threat assessment here, captain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I don't know what it is, sir. But it's got a power source more advanced then anything we've come across, including the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It's a time capsule. Well, that's an educated guess, but imagine your civilization is facing a major cataclysm. The end is coming, you know it. Wouldn't you leave something behind? Something that told everyone that came after you who you were.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Or how you died.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes. Imagine what you could learn about your own fate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
When a Goa'uld's world is taken by another in battle, he will sometimes leave behind the means to destroy the conqueror.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You think it might be a booby trap.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Booby?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I don't think we're talking about the Goa'uld here. Whoever this civilization was went through great pains to leave this artifact behind. Like a message in a bottle.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You buying this, Teal'c?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The benefit may outweigh the risk.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The earth sure could use a power source that lasts for thousands of years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Alright. Pack it up. Let's go home.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c takes the artifact off the pedestal and places it in a container on FRED. SG-1 turns and leaves down the corridor. The artifact begins to glow.]<br />
<br />
'''END TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[SG-1 arrives through the gate back to earth. Hammond and Simmons are waiting at the bottom of the ramp.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We acquired the package, sir. I recommend level three precautions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
(over intercom)<br/><br />
Wormhole disengaged. Support teams go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Careful with it, it's heavy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, start spectral analysis right away.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Oh, and input a detailed imaging of the outer surface into the computer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Everything go as planned, Colonel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, one small step one giant leap, that kind of stuff, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
We'll debrief in one hour. Welcome home SG-1.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;LAB'''<br />
<br />
[The artifact has been secured for analysis. Daniel and Carter are working in the lab with Simmons overlooking in the control booth.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, we can add two more elements to the periodic table.Lieutenant, I'd like to record this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Whatever you say, Captain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Try to relax Graham or its going to be a long day.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You know, I don't think it's the artifact he gets nervous like that every time he's around you. Maybe a crush.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Um, we're recording now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Thank you, Lieutenant.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Simmons pauses, gives Carter an odd look before glancing back down at the monitors.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Oops. Hey, the artifact. Notice the writing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A computer screen with the alien language comes on screen.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;BRIEFING ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond and SG-1 are debriefing on their latest trip through the Stargate.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So tiny it can be read by the naked eye.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What does it say?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We think it's a set of instructions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
On how to&hellip;?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Open it. We think it&hellip;uh, we think it opens. Well, I'm sure there's much more to it than that. There's the equivalent of a thousand pages of alien text on the exterior surface alone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What about the object's interior?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We know very little. Fraiser is supervising positron emission typography.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
You know I have the highest respect for your abilities. But the NID wants a look at the thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, I recommend against shipping the artifact anywhere just yet General.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Since Daniel Jackson's theory on the orb's function has yet to be confirmed, it is best for it to remain in close proximity to the Stargate. At least for the moment.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
You're scheduled to visit P4G-881.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Which is a primordial world with absolutely no civilization whatsoever and therefore no need to bring along an archeologist.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I'm willing to delay that mission for twenty four hours in order to confirm your theory.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
That's not enough time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
But we'll take it. Thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;LAB'''<br />
<br />
[The artifact is hooked through a bunch of wires for observation. Carter and Daniel are working with Simmons looking in from the control room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Okay, let's try another X-ray series. Y axis this time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Sam.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay. Up until now I've been sorta going on the assumption that this is a sort of page one. It's relatively isolated from the other groupings. Now I'm thinking it's numerical.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, maybe the basis of their mathematics.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Right. That's what I thought. So if these smaller symbols would represent exponents.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So then this sequence grows exponential to become a very big number.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Right. And that is information I can't use. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill walks into the room, quite chipper]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Good morning campers! Sleep well? I did!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Oh, it can't be morning.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah, but it is. We ship out at, oh, thirteen hundred hours.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay, Jack, talk to General Hammond.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Nope. I want you both rested and ready to go. That's an order.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Jack, come on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Daniel, SG-1 is a field until. You know that. Can't have it both ways. When we get back you can&hellip;visit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
We've got a spike. An EM spike across the Y band.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Interior temperature is increasing forty degrees Fahrenheit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Captain?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I don't know. I don't think we've done anything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Maybe we woke it up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Sixty degrees.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Radiation levels?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Alpha particle radiation generation within the object's magnetic field is increased four&hellip;six hundred percent.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, I recommend we return the artifact to P5C-353 now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Go tell them to start dialing. Go.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel leaves the room]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
One hundred degrees.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Any idea what we're dealing with here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No, Sir. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[The artifact blossoms open in the middle and a violet-blue light began to glow.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well, I think we can rule out time capsule.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel rushes in.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Start dialing P5C-353 right away.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
By whose order?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Colonel O'Neill's.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Do it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Yes, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Dr. Jackson?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It's the artifact, Sir. Something's wrong.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;LAB'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Carter are trying to remove the artifact from its brace. Simmons is in the control room watching the status.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Temperature is still increasing. One hundred and ten degrees.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We'll need to put our suits back on.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
No, There's not time for that. We'll just open the gate and throw it back through. Teal'c, give me a hand here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Suddenly the artifact spews out spikes on the top part of the hemisphere.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Whoa.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It does not wish to be removed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
That's too damn bad.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Davis is sitting in the control room as the Stargate dials the planet]<br />

<br />
[The chevron locks. Another one of the artifact's spikes shoots out to the floor. O'Neill and Teal'c jumps. More spikes project out.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Get out of there!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A spike shoots towards Teal'c but he manages to swing out of the way. Another spike comes out and goes through O'Neill's shoulder, dragging him with it to the wall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah! Oh god.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Get security down there. Put the base on full alert.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We need a medical team.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Security to the embarkation room. Medical team to the embarkation room.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c runs over to O'Neill. He tries to remove the spike. O'Neill grabs Teal'c for support.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Kill it! God!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Sir, the umm, Stargate?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Shut it down.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The sphere is being held in place in front of the Stargate by five spikes. Carter, Daniel, and Hammond run into the embarkation and towards O'Neill.]<br />
<br />

<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Get something to support his legs.</blockquote><br />

[Fraiser comes into the room and heads towards O'Neill. Simmons comes in and takes measurements of the sphere.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
What can you tell me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I don't know but it's still hot. Be careful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Temperature is 133 and holding.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
This wound is too clean. There should be blood. I don't know why there wasn't more trauma.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />

<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
It's gone right through the scapula. Colonel, why are</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />

Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />

<br />
[Everyone starts to evacuate to the control room]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Teal'c, fire when ready.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The door to the gateroom closes. Simmons, Daniel, Carter, Fraiser and Hammond all watch from the control room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
With respect General, this is a mistake.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Why?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We don't know how much of that staff energy will be transferred through the object into the Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Your objection is noted.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Do it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c fires the staff into the sphere. The energy radiates out through the spike, with some going into O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Again!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c fires again and more energy goes through O'Neill. O'Neill writhes in pain.]<br />

Ah! God.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
No change</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, it just absorbed the energy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
This weapon is ineffective. I shall try another.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No! Sir, that staff energy had to have gone somewhere. We could be feeding it what it wants for all we know.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I want a cutting torch down there.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
If it's made of the same non-terrestrial alloys as the shell on the orb itself, then it is several hundred times stronger then steel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Sir, with your permission.</blockquote><br />

I really don't give a damn what Colonel Mayborne has to say on the subject. I've made my decision. Unless I'm ordered to do otherwise, I'm not allowing anyone in or out of this facility until we can send the damn thing back where it came from. No, General, thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond hangs up the phone. Carter and Daniel are sitting across from him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
The NID people want to see it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Even knowing what it's done to the Colonel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Especially knowing what it's done to the Colonel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
They're hoping we've found some kind of weapon we can one day use against the Goa'uld. All I can tell them is what it isn't.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
General, I don't know what to say. I wanted the artifact to be something wonderful.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
You have nothing to apologize for, son. We've brought things back from all over the galaxy. One just finally slap us in the face.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We've managed to collect a significant amount of data before it hit the fan, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Then I suggest you get to it. Dismissed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel and Carter leave Hammond's office. Hammond picks up the red phone.]<br />

<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Hot.</blockquote><br />
<br />
Fraiser is readying an injection to give O'Neill.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
I know. You have a very high fever which is being caused by an infection. I'm going to give you a broad spectra antibiotic to help fight it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
The artifacts internal temperature just leveled off at 149 degrees Fahrenheit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c walks over to Sgt. Siler who is using the blowtorch ineffectively on the spike holding O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Sergeant. Your progress here is unsatisfactory.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SILER<br/><br />

We're going to need everyone's help. Colonel O'Neill is alive but obviously he is in trouble.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
The data we managed to gather before this happened is all in the base computer. It's not much but it's all we have. Use it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Don't rule anything out and don't make any assumptions.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I'll be leading the translation team.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And we'll be working out of the astrophysics lab but we're all going to have to work together on this one. Any questions?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CAPTAIN<br/><br />
So obviously we're dealing with a weapon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
That's an assumption, Captain. All right. Let's get to work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Fraiser walks into the room and Carter approaches]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How is he?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
He's developed an infection. I've got him pumped full of antibiotics which, amazingly, has seemed to slow it down its progress.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Why is that amazing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
I think you should see this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Fraiser walks out of the room and Carter follows.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter and Fraiser come in from down the stairs. Simmons is sitting at a terminal to their right.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
It's mobile like a bacteria but small like a virus and slightly radioactive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Both Carter and Fraiser sit down at a computer terminal]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Definitely alien. And they also seem to bond in chains.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
And it's infected the Colonel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
This is why I wanted you to see it. I took this from a section of Colonel O'Neill's uniform around his wound.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What are you saying? It's infected his clothes as well as living tissue?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
And it's metabolizing the material as if it were living tissue. Like a form of necrotizing fasciitis.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Flesh eating disease? Okay. You said slightly radioactive?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(to Simmons)<br/><br />
Lieutenant. We used ultraviolet when we were performing tests on the iris' structural integrity.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Right.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Simmons gets up and picks up the phone on the wall]<br />

Teal'c, Colonel. It's just going to get a little dark in there for a few seconds while we try something.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
And bringing up the UV lights now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Oh my god.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The UV lights show a blueish tint running through the sphere, into and on O'Neill and throughout the walls.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
This is an even bigger problem then we thought.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />

<br />
[Carter and Fraiser turn to look at Simmons. His hands are covered in the blue and it is radiates up his arm.]<br />

<br />
'''INT&mdash;GENERAL HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Fraiser is readying an injection for Hammond while Carter debriefs him]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It can infect virtually any substance, even concrete.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
This entire complex is made of concrete.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Worse then that, we've already determined it's got a taste for the base wiring. Which means it's going to affect, or rather infect, our computers and communication.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Then, we need to kill it. How do we do that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
We've spread around the computer base main frame a sort of pesticide but it hasn't even slowed the organism down.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What was that you just gave me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Tetracycline. It's kept the infection at bay in the Colonel and it seems to work proactively with everyone I've been able to get a shot into. But sir, I'll need more</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Absolutely not. A wildfire directive means nothing in or out, you know that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Sir, Lieutenant Simmons' infection is even more far gone than Colonel O'Neill's but he's allergic to Tetracycline. None of the alternatives I have on base</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Don't make me repeat myself Doctor.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
With your permission, sir, I'd better get back to the infirmary.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond nods and Fraiser leaves, not too pleased with the situations]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Captain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I need your honest assessment. Can we beat this thing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Like the Colonel always says: 'never give up', right? I'm not sure, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Maybe it's time we considered evacuating personnel through the Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I thought of that&hellip;but to where? There's no guarantee we can stop the organism from coming through the gate along with us. I don't think we have the right to infect another world.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Well, there are a number of uninhabited worlds we could gate through. Albeit, most are uninhabited for good reason.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Even if we could evacuate a number of survivors, practically every one of us is infected by the organism to some degree. Without antibiotics, we'd all be like Lieutenant Simmons right now. The survivors would run out of supplies in a few days.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
At least they'd have that much time to find a solution.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's not worth the risk in my opinion, sir. We don't even know what the orb would do if we tried to activate the Stargate again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Very well. We'll make our stand right here, Captain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes sir. They won't take us without a fight, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Damn right they won't.</blockquote><br />

Teal'c, you don't have to stick around.</blockquote><br />

Undomesticated equines could not remove me.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Alright. Presuming this is page one and presuming this sequence is some kind of whole numbers that represents exponential growth&hellip;what does that mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, it could represent the growth pattern of the alien organism. So far its spread has followed an exponential curve.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Alright. So, from that we can extrapolate that it is a warning. This organism will continue to grow and expand exponential until&hellip;what? Until we die? I mean, if that's what it says, what's the point of saying it?</blockquote><br />

<br />
'''INT&mdash;LAB'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is sitting at a computer terminal working. The Captain is working behind her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I was right. Teal'c's staff blast gave it the energy it needed to spread like this. It's reproducing because we fed it. Damn. Why did I let them do that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CAPTAIN<br/><br />
Okay, so it feeds on energy. How do we use that? It feeds on everything.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Have the CO2 levels gone up?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CAPTAIN<br/><br />
Yeah, but the scrubbers are handling it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Like fire. Add energy a fire burns hotter. Add fuel it burns longer but it can't live without one thing.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CAPTAIN<br/><br />
Oxygen.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CAPTAIN<br/><br />
We can't either.</blockquote><br />
<br />

Yeah, but at least we can slow it down.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The computer screens start to go haywire]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CAPTAIN<br/><br />
What's happening?</blockquote><br />
<br />

It's gotten into our computers. Keep working.</blockquote><br />

[Carter gets up and leaves down a hallway.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WORKER<br/><br />
Can't come this way, Captain, it's eating through steam pipes.</blockquote><br />

General, sir. I have something. What is he doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Teal'c is trying to stop the spread of the organism at the source.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Tell him to stop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Why? It seems to be working.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Only because the fire is temporarily consuming the oxygen in the room. It feeds on energy. Sir, I'm asking you to trust me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(over intercom)<br/><br />
Teal'c, stand down. We're going to try another approach.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c shuts off the blowtorch]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Okay. The organism needs oxygen to reproduce. Now since we are on internal life support we can adjust the CO2 scrubbers and lower the oxygen levels.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
How low are we talking?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We'll start at 8%, but we'll have to start now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond turns to a guard standing behind him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Do it.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
General Hammond, sir. I think you should see this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
The computer screen show "WILDFIRE INITIATED"<br />
<br />
<blockquote>COMPUTER VOICE<br/><br />

<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
General?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
In the event of containment failure, Wildfire kicks in automatically.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, we have to deactivate the auto destruct.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
We have a responsibility to make sure the organism doesn't leave the mountain, Captain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
With all due respect, sir, I don't think you understand. It could feed from the energy of the staff blast, how far do you think it will spread if the autodestruct goes off?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
I need two officers to override.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hammond and Carter both type their passwords into the computer to shut the program down.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
The organism has invaded our computers. It won't recognize our codes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
The devices' internal clock has been activated. We can't stop it without the computer.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I also believed we should retrieve the object.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
It was my decision.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
If we are to met the challenge of the Goa'uld, and further your race, risks must be taken. Your decision was correct.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;INFIRMARY'''<br />
<br />
[Carter is being given a shot by Fraiser.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
You idea seems to be working</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, seems to have slowed the progress of the organism by 90%.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Well, don't jump up and down or you'll get my other patients all excited.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Even in a completely anaerobic environment, the organism just goes dormant. All we've done is buy ourselves some time before&hellip;I've got to get back to work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>FRAISER<br/><br />
Well, before you do, if you wouldn't mind stopping by to see Simmons.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How's he doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter walks over to where Simmons is lying, not looking well.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Graham?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Captain Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We're fighting this thing, Graham. You just got to hang in there, okay?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>SIMMONS<br/><br />
Before I&hellip;I just wanted to say, how much&hellip;how I'm doin so far?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You're doing just fine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Simmons closes his eyes and Carter leaves the room.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;LAB'''<br />
<br />
[Daniel is in the control room. He appears drained. There are other personnel in the room working on the monitors. None of them notices one of the computer screens begin to flicker. But Daniel notices. He puts on his glasses and takes another look.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Come here</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CAPTAIN<br/><br />
Who?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Anybody&hellip;just come here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Captain comes and looks over Daniel's shoulder at the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Look at this. Wait for it. There.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A symbol appears on the screen before it disappears again.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CAPTAIN<br/><br />
That symbol is on the artifact.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yes, it is. It's trying to communicate with us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Carter, Hammond and Daniel are standing in the room discussing the recent events.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
I think what we thought was gibberish on all the computers was actually the aliens attempt to communicate with us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Maybe. But the symbols you're seeing could also be from the random files of our research.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, that's impossible. See, I didn't start working on this sequence until after the computers went down.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Assuming you're right, what are they trying to communicate?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, they could be saying take me to your leader for all I know. I have no idea. The point is, they are trying. We haven't even considered what we're up against here is an alien intelligence. We've treated it like a disease, like a plague. Not once have we stopped to listen.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
How do we do that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We let it grow.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
What?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We increase the oxygen levels even higher then normal. We hit it with another staff weapon blast. We let it do what it's been trying to do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
The exact opposite of the advice you've been giving me up until now. Which is it, Captain?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, we both know what will happen if we don't try something.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Hammond, Carter and Daniel walk in to see O'Neill and Teal'c still waiting for the next move. They walk towards the orb.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Fraiser says the organism bonds together in chains. What if it's only capable of expressing that intelligence once it hits critical mass?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Even if you're right and we let it take over the computers, it's going to be communicating in a language that I can't translate without a point of reference.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Maybe Colonel O'Neill didn't just get in the way. Fraiser said there was no blood. There was practically no trauma around that wound. With the force that struck him, it's just not possible.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Unless it did it on purpose.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes! We have to cut off his medication, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Are you out of your mind?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
If you do so, O'Neill will die.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
He'd want us to try this&hellip;I know it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Communicate with the organism through Jack?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes. I think that's what it has been trying to do all along.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;CONTROL ROOM'''<br />
<br />
[Davis is looking over the gate room checking on readings. O'Neill and the walls are covered more than ever with the alien entity.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Oxygen level 30% above normal.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;GATEROOM'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir? Sir, I don't know if what we are about to try is a good idea or not, but you have the right to know. You might not survive it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter holds O'Neill's hand. He gives it a squeeze. She pulls out the IV to stop the medication. She backs up and joins Hammond and Teal'c behind the orb.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Okay, Teal'c.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c raises his staff to fire at the orb. He fires and the energy goes through and O'Neill is shocked.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c shoots and again the energy is absorbed.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
We have to. Again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c fires the third shot and Carter runs to check on O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No pulse.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A few seconds later O'Neill's head comes up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/ALIEN<br/><br />
Good morning, campers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill's voice sounds different and his speech is slower. Hammond walks over to him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/ALIEN<br/><br />
This is truly a strange feeling.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Colonel?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/ALIEN<br/><br />
Yes, he is here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Who else we are talking too?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/ALIEN<br/><br />
We are also here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
My name is&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/ALIEN<br/><br />
Hammond, yes. O'Neill knows.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Then you should also know we mean you no harm.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/ALIEN<br/><br />
You awoke us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
We have only recently become aware of your existence.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/ALIEN<br/><br />
You would have returned us to our former world.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
We believed you were a threat to us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We feared you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/ALIEN<br/><br />
And your fear would have destroyed us. Millennia ago our world was dying. We could no longer live there. For this reason, we created the orb.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Where you slept for a hundred thousand years.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/ALIEN<br/><br />
Yes, Daniel.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Waiting for someone to come along, like us, and take you through the Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/ALIEN<br/><br />
So it was written on the orb. Once exposed to the atmosphere of a living world, we went forth</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
And multiplied.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/ALIEN<br/><br />
So it was written.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PA SYSTEM<br/><br />
Autoself destruct in four minutes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/ALIEN<br/><br />
We can not go back.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
We can not allow you to stay.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/ALIEN<br/><br />
O'Neill feels this as well. However, you have allowed us no alternatives.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
General, we're almost out of time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
This place, admittedly out of our ignorance, is about to be destroyed by an explosion.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/ALIEN<br/><br />
Such energy only serves to nourish us. We will multiple and consume your world.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
If you would allow us to restore our communications, we could stop that from happening. We would survive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/ALIEN<br/><br />
O'Neill desires this as well. He wishes to live. But what of us?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
P4G-881! It's primordial, lots of oxygen and sunlight. Like this world was a quarter of a billion years ago.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sir, we can't open the Stargate without the computers.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/ALIEN<br/><br />
You would send us there? Through your Stargate?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
We would.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL/ALIEN<br/><br />
For what reason?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
So that we both may survive.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill's head falls back with a little gasp.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We'll take you there ourselves, Please!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[All the power is lost in the control room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Everything just shut down!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
God help us.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PA SYSTEM<br/><br />
Autoself destruct in two minutes.</blockquote><br />
<br />
The computers start to light back up again.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Sir, Sir&hellip;I think the computers are rebooting!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Start dialing P4G-881 as soon as they are up.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Yes, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter and Hammond run into the control room as the stargate starts to dial.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PA SYSTEM<br/><br />
Autoself destruct in one minute and thirty seconds.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill's head comes back up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Chevron one engaged.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The spike starts to remove itself from the wall and O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Chevron two engaged.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill stands up]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Chevron three engaged.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill steps down the ladder]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Chevron four engaged.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill walks to the orb.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Chevron five engaged.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>PA SYSTEM<br/><br />
Autoself destruct in one minute.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill places his hands on the orb and it starts to glow.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Chevron six engaged.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The orb continues to glow and the alien organism starts to retract into the orb along with the spikes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DAVIS<br/><br />
Chevron seven locked.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill walks up the ramp with the orb in his hand]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PA SYSTEM<br/><br />
Autoself destruct in thirty seconds.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill pushes the orb through the event horizon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PA SYSTEM<br/><br />
Twenty seconds.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill collapses onto the ramp.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PA SYSTEM<br/><br />
Ten. Nine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The Stargate disengages and Hammond and Carter start to type.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PA SYSTEM<br/><br />
Four. Three. Two. One.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Both codes were entered.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>PA SYSTEM<br/><br />
Autoself destruct aborted</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter runs to where Teal'c and Daniel are already with O'Neill at the ramp, helping him sit up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Nice work.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
It is good to see you alive and well.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Welcome back, Jack.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Thought you were gone for good, sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Wild horses, Captain.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The three of them help O'Neill walk down the ramp.]<br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC LEVEL 28'''<br />
<br />
[Elevator doors open, and Carter jogs through them, up the steps and into the briefing room. She<br />
is wearing a dark brown leather jacket and trousers, and carrying a black motorbike helmet.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sorry I haven't changed Sir, the message said it was urgent.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Hello again, Major Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She stops, turning to look at Warrick, who is standing by the briefing room table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Warrick.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
It's good to see you again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You too, but what brings you here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
When we last spoke, you strongly reiterated your desire to gain access to Serrakin<br />
technology.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, of course.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Unfortunately, diplomacy between our respective leadership has been slow to<br />
develop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter glances at Hammond and Daniel who are standing next to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm sure they're just being cautious.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
As I was telling General Hammond and Doctor Jackson, I am here to offer you full access to the<br />
Ion Propulsion engine on the ''Seberus''.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, that's great!<br/><br />
(To Hammond)<br/><br />
Sir, this could&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(interrupting)<br/><br />
I've read your report Major. I won't debate the value of the technology. But there's<br />
more.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
In return, I would like your help&hellip; to win a race?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter smiles]<br />

'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM.'''<br />
<br />
[Carter, Hammond, Daniel and Warrick are sitting at the table, discussing Warrick's proposal]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
It is called the Loop of Kon Garat. Every year the largest corporation on our planet, known as<br />
Tech Con Group, awards an extremely lucrative contract to the winner of the loop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
A contract?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
It is a time tested method to find the pilot with the best ship for the job. The race is open to<br />
anyone. There are few rules. The winners ship must arrive first and intact.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Let me just get this straight. The government of your planet is allowing you to share advanced<br />
technology with us in exchange for us helping you to win a race?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
(pauses)<br/><br />
Not exactly, I have arranged for a small group of you to come to Hebridan on a diplomatic visit.<br />
There is no rule preventing you from helping me in a race, and what you learn while you are<br />
there&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So unofficially&hellip;?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Warrick pauses]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So how can we help?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Major!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Can't help to ask, can it Sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
The power system you used to recharge the ''Seberus'' when I was stranded&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
A naquadah generator?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
As you know, the ''Seberus'' has been through quite a lot. However my diagnostic analysis it's<br />
systems show greatly improved efficiency when supplemented by the naquadah<br />
generator.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'd like to participate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel gives Carter a confused look.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Well actually&hellip; I was not asking you to join me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well why not? I'll have to interface the generator.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Could you not just show me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well naquadah generators are very valuable to us, we're not about to let one out of our sight.<br />
Besides you never know what issues could arrive on the fly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Major, I feel compelled to warn you of the danger, the loop is not for the faint<br />
hearted.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Look we take risks to attain advanced technology all the time. For me there would be no better<br />
way to learn about your ship then to see it in action.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
A victory would mean a great deal to me, I am not above accepting your offer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter smiles and nods acceptance, then suddenly turns to General Hammond.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
With your approval Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Major I expect you to evaluate the risks of this mission on an ongoing basis, and act<br />
accordingly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
As always, Sir.</blockquote><br />

<br />
[A naquadah generator lies on Carter's desk. Around it are various wires, tools, cases etc.<br />
Carter is packing for the trip. Daniel enters. She continues to pack throughout the<br />
conversation.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hey.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hey, you ready?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, just about.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Warrick has set us up in meetings with the highest ranking members of the Hebridan government<br />
and business community.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I bet Colonel O'Neill is really looking forward to that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Oh yeah.<br/><br />
(pauses)<br/><br />
Do you really think this is worth it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Absolutely. Why, don't you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, yeah&hellip; I just&hellip; you just seem unusually Gung Ho.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns from her packing, and smiles]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Gung Ho?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It's kind of more about attaining new technology for you isn't it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You mean helping Warrick? He did once risk his life for me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah I heard that. I just think that there's something else.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Look, I know that this could be dangerous. But this is our job right? It's what we signed on to<br />
do. We take risks in the hope of achieving new levels of technology. If and I stress if,<br />
participating in this race just happens to be a little bit&hellip; I don't<br />
know&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Fun?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter grins and casually moves her arms up into the air while looking at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What's a girl to do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Nothing, it's just what I thought.</blockquote><br />

'''INT&mdash;HEBRIDAN TV'''<br />
<br />
[A news report suddenly appears on the screen. Alien writing scrolls along the bottom, rather<br />
like CNN. A man sits behind a news desk, looking directly at camera.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARDAL HADRAIG<br/><br />
I'm Ardal Hadraig and welcome back to TCNN's exclusive coverage of the 59th Loop of Kon Garat.<br />
Now as the loop is set to begin tomorrow morning, we have a startling new development to report.<br />
Warrick Finn&hellip;<br/><br />
(his image comes up on screen)<br/><br />
&hellip;announced today that his co-pilot will be a human from the planet we've come to know as<br />
Earth. Major Samantha Carter's participation will mark the first inclusion of an alien in loop<br />
history.<br/><br />
(her image flashes up)<br/><br />
A band of explorers happened upon him when his ship the ''Seberus'' crashed on an uncharted<br />
planet while transporting convicts to the outlying prison colonies.<br/><br />
(Pictures of all SG-1, including Jonas, and a picture of the planet are displayed on screen)<br />
<br/><br />
Now the question on everybody's mind is will these Earthlings bring Warrick luck a second time<br />
around?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A huge TV screen hovers above the water next to a giant alien city, complete with spaceships<br />
acting as cars.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>SEBERUS</i> HANGER'''<br />
<br />
[Warrick leads SG-1 off the ''Seberus'', which is sitting in a huge hanger. Several pieces of<br />
machinery are nearby, and look related to the engineering and upkeep of the ''Seberus''. They<br />
walk towards another man in the hanger.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
May I introduce you all to Eamon. He is responsible for making the ''Seberus'' what it is<br />
today, and he is my younger brother.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah yes, I see the family resemblance. It's uncanny, boys&hellip; </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He runs out of things to say and there is a short, uncomfortable silence.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Colonel Jack O'Neill, Dan&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
(To Warrick)<br/><br />
You just had to do it didn't you, there was no stopping you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
Eamon&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
Do you really think the ''Seberus'' is incapable of winning the race without their<br />
help?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Eamon! They saved me from certain death, and are responsible for my getting back home to<br />
Hebridan. I suggest you show some respect.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
My apologies. I am honoured to meet my brother's saviours.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He looks towards Carter and gives her a patronizing stare.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
And you must be Major Carter, the one which without we could not win the loop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You know I feel all warm and fuzzy.<br/><br />
(to Daniel)<br/><br />
How about you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Major Carter, if you are to be my co-pilot, you will need to know how the ship<br />
works.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Warrick places a large book in to her hands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What is this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
A complete operations manual for the ''Seberus'', I had it translated for you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Thank you!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Looking at the book)<br/><br />
That's not our language!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's mine, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, right&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
Warrick, the long range scanning control unit didn't come in again today. When I called they<br />
said our credit&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
I will go myself and pick one up, after I get back from escorting Colonel O'Neill, Doctor<br />
Jackson and Teal'c to the Hebridan capital building.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
T, you coming?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Major Carter has requested that I remain so that I may assist her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c starts smiling at both Carter and O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL & CARTER<br/><br />
She did? / I did?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c is still grinning as Carter begins to smile, O'Neill looks confused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Right&hellip; yes, thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I do not wish to disappoint Major Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks suspiciously at Carter and Teal'c]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes&hellip; I know the feeling.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Warrick, O'Neill and Daniel leave. Teal'c walks up to Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
I am in your debt, Major Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(grinning)<br/><br />
Indeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>SERBERUS</i>'''<br />

[Carter removes the naquadah generator from it's case, and places it down ready to be hooked up. Eamon comes and stands next to her, carrying cables ready to attach the generator to the<br />
Serberus.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
With all your science and engineering I'm a little surprised that you don't have a power source<br />
that rivals this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
Oh they exist, we just couldn't afford one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
Warrick is desperate Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How do you mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
He was gone a long time, we all thought he was dead. His wife Athea, remarried and has children<br />
of her own now. Since his return, work has been scarce.<br/><br />
(pause)<br/><br />
He thinks this race is a chance to get his life back Major, and he will do anything to win<br />
it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What about you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
Me? Well I work for Tech Con. I design garbage disposal units for the food service division.<br />
Need I say more?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
No&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A communicator on the wall suddenly crackles in to life, Eamon reaches for it.]<br />
<br />

[A TV screen is shown. A silver logo, written in an alien language is shown on a black<br />
background. The TV states "Tech Con Group: Progress and people, working in total harmony.<br />
Teal'c, Carter, Eamon and Warrick stand around the screen, watching. A man appears on the<br />
screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAGAN<br/><br />
I'm Miles Hagan, president of Tech Con group. I wish to welcome you as an official contestant to<br />
the loop of Kon Garat, congratulations on qualifying. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[A map of the Loop is displayed on the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAGAN<br/><br />
As always, the loop will run through a course that consists of four distinct stages. Defence,<br />
navigation, manoeuvrability and speed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Close ups of each of the four stages appear on the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
We know the course, skip to the competition.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Warrick touches the monitor, and fast forwards the recorded transmission.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAGAN<br/><br />
Let's meet your fellow pilots, shall we?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The profiles of 8 pilots are shown.]<br />

I don't believe it, Jarlath.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Jarlath?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Warrick highlights Jarlath's picture, and a more detailed profile is shown on the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
I know him from my days of transporting convicts. He was caught running illegal weapons to the<br />
outer mining colonies. I thought he was in prison.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Looks like he's been paroled.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
He's not our biggest problem.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He taps the screen and the image of a woman comes up]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
La'el Montrose, independent cargo runner from the parallel colonies. Her ship is very fast and<br />
worse still.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He taps the screen once more, another person, this time a male.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
Hmmph, Muirios.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
His skill as a pilot is legendary.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Can we beat him?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
You'll get clobbered in the navigation phase,<br/><br />
(to Warrick, pointedly)<br/><br />
without a long range scanner control unit.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
I will get one.</blockquote><br />

[Carter and Warrick are in some kind of parts shop, looking at various spare parts for ships.<br />
After looking at several smaller objects, Carter turns to Warrick and places her hand on a large<br />
engine component, hanging from the ceiling.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What's this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Expensive.</blockquote><br />

[A man slowly walks around the corner to see Carter and Warrick. He is carrying some kind of<br />
engine part.]<br />

<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hi, Major Samantha Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TAUPEN <br/><br />
Ah, one of the Earthlings.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The man places the component on to one of the many tables lying around.]<br />

<blockquote>TAUPEN <br/><br />
I heard about you.</blockquote><br />

We are here to pick up the scanner control unit I ordered.</blockquote><br />

<blockquote>TAUPEN<br/><br />
Look Warrick&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Taupen.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TAUPEN<br/><br />
I'm running a business here, not a charity. Your credit's been over the maximum for<br />
months.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
The best chance of me paying you back is to win the loop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TAUPEN<br/><br />
I'm sorry Warrick I can't give you a new one, but you're in luck. I just picked up this<br />
reconditioned unit this morning.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He takes a component from another man standing on the other side of the component table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TAUPEN<br/><br />
It should work fine.</blockquote><br />

[Carter turns to see where the voice was coming from, and sees a tall, stocky man, dressed in<br />
black worn leather and a large moustache walking towards them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TAUPEN <br/><br />
You don't think he's good for it do you? He doesn't stand a chance of winning the<br />
loop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Jarlath, still avoiding personal hygiene I see.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
Who's your friend Warrick, she looks nice. Golan Jarlath, Captain of the Oran. Very much at your<br />
service.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Ignore him, Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Warrick takes the scanner component from Taupen and walks away from Jarlath, Carter follows<br />
him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
Stay out of my way Warrick, or I'll blow your pathetic ship to pieces.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Warrick turns around and gets ready to dive at Jarlath, Carter stops him by putting her hand on<br />
his chest.]<br />

That depends.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />

And with the loop set to begin only minutes from now, I am joined by race expert and two time<br />

<br />
<blockquote>COYLE BORON<br/><br />
Well, Ardal, by the time you're at the starter buoys, there's not much you can do except run the<br />
pre-flight check and hope that all your hard work pays off. It's a, a tense time.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARDAL HADRAIG<br/><br />
Well there's no question, the stakes are high. This year's winner receives a lucrative contract<br />
with Tech Con's deep space explorations project. While anything else means massive debt, and the<br />
acrid taste of bitter defeat. Well it's an interesting group of pilots this year Coyle, who do<br />
you think you like?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Murious' picture appears in between the two men.]<br />

Well, I think you've got to like this guy Muirios, he's got the talent, the ship and the<br />
experience to take it all.</blockquote><br />

Now, what about Warrick and the human woman. Any potential for an upset there?</blockquote><br />

That would be the coronasphere, Ardal. Because it's made up of ionised gases, you're basically<br />
flying through a thick layer of translucent plasma.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARDAL HADRAIG<br/><br />
Wow, sounds hot.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COYLE BORON<br/><br />
Well, you can say that again. At this stage of the race it's all about the shields. Does your<br />

That's not true! When Hagan finds out about this&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
Hagan is one of the primary architects of human oppression on this planet. The winner of the<br />
loop of Kon Garat will be a pure blooded human. And that is merely the first step.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
You're just mad because you've been passed over for advancement three times.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
Think I'm the only one? There are enough of us to make a difference.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
Has it occurred to you that maybe the reason you've been passed over so many times is not<br />
because you're a human, but because you're a moron?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Tynan glares at Eamon with hate in his eyes.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
I am doing this to save my kind from the likes of you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Tynan walks over to his desk and sits at it, thoughtfully looking at a navigation monitor of<br />
the loop.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
(to Teal'c)<br/><br />
I guess not.</blockquote><br />

<br />
[Ardal and Coyle sit behind their desk, addressing the audience.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARDAL HADRAIG<br/><br />
Welcome back to TCNN's exclusive coverage of the loop of Kon Garat. Now, we have some startling<br />
developments to relate, apparently Warrick and the Earthling Samantha Carter have re-entered the<br />
race with a vengeance and are now pulling in to a close third position. Coyle, what does this<br />
mean for Muirios?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COYLE BORON<br/><br />
Well, he's had a commanding lead for the bulk of the competition, but he's got to be wondering<br />
what Warrick has got on board that allowed him to make up that kind of distance so<br />
fast.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARDAL HADRAIG<br/><br />
Well, Coyle, perhaps he is using Ion Pro, a new engine additive from Tech Con propulsion<br />
systems.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COYLE BORON<br/><br />
Yes, perhaps.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARDAL HADRAIG<br/><br />
Ion Pro is guaranteed to improve drive performance no matter what class ship you fly, be it<br />
whether you are competing in the loop of Kon Garat of just taking the kids to school, use Ion<br />
Pro in your power source. Ion Pro, from Tech Con propulsion systems, your system wide experts in<br />
Ion Drive technology.</blockquote><br />

<br />
[O'Neill and Daniel are at the receptionist's desk. Daniel leans forward onto it, while O'Neill<br />
stands back. They are talking to the same receptionist that greeted Eamon and Teal'c.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WOMAN<br/><br />
I'm sorry, I can't let you inside the complex without clearance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We're looking for people who are already inside the building.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WOMAN<br/><br />
If you give me their names I can check and see if they're here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Okay, one of them is named&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Eamon.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Eamon</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WOMAN<br/><br />
(apprehensively, as if slowly remembering)<br/><br />
And his cousin Murray?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Murray! Yes, that's them.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WOMAN<br/><br />
Yes, they're here.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Can we come inside now?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WOMAN<br/><br />
No.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Alright, here's what I'd like you to do. Pick up that phone, call Mr. Whoever Runs This<br />
Place&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hagan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WOMAN<br/><br />
Sorry, but I just can't do that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
We're old friends. Tell him Mr. Man Who Has The Stargate is here to see him. He'll<br />
understand.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She narrows her eyes in realisation of who they are.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
(almost whispering)<br/><br />
Stargate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He smiles and nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Go ahead. Buttons. Phone.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The woman presses something on her desk and speaks into her headset.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WOMAN<br/><br />
Mr. Hagan, please.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Nice.</blockquote><br />
<br />

<br />
[Tynan continues to check the race's progress on the computer monitor opposite his desk. Teal'c<br />
and Eamon also wait.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
What are you going to do, Tynan? He's an alien from another planet, his people are going to miss<br />
him.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Tynan looks down as his video unit suddenly turns on, Muirios' face comes in to view.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MUIRIOS<br/><br />
Tynan, respond.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
What is it, Muirios?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MUIRIOS<br/><br />
It's the ''Seberus''. Warrick is still in the race, and he's gaining on my<br />
position.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Tynan checks the monitor again.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The three ships have entered an asteroid field. Shards of what look to be ice asteroids hurtle<br />
left, right and centre.]<br />
<br />

<br />
[Warrick and Carter are seated at the helm, while Jarlath stands behind them.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Hard left!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The ship suddenly veers to the right and Jarlath crashes into the wall.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
What was that, you said left!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Oh, did I? Sorry.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
This is a waste of time, we don't have a chance, you're just going to get us<br />
killed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/WARRICK (At Same Time)<br/><br />
Shut up!</blockquote><br />
<br />

through the asteroid field into clear space.]<br />

<br />
[Tynan and Muirios continue to confer over the com link.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MUIRIOS<br/><br />
How did this happen? You said the ''Seberus'' would be disabled. That I was guaranteed to<br />
win.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
You will win Muirios, just focus on what you have to do. I'll take care of the<br />
''Seberus''.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Tynan severs the link with Muirios, then looks at Eamon. He starts tapping his keyboard, and<br />
establishes a link with the ''Seberus''.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
This is Tynan calling the ''Seberus''. I know you can hear me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
What do you want, Tynan?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
I only intended to disable your ship, but your stubbornness has forced my hand. I have your<br />
brother and one of the visitors from Earth, so drop out of the race. Now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Eamon looks deflated as he realises what Warrick has to do.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>SEBERUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
[Warrick looks sadly at Carter, then stops the ''Seberus''. Carter leans back her head in<br />
disappointment, as does Jarlath. The ''Seberus'' hangs in space.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TECH CON HEADQUARTERS'''<br />
<br />
[O'Neill and Daniel wait for Hagan, the head of Tech Con Group. A guard stands to attention.<br />
They are sitting by an internal pond of some kind. Daniel is just dipping his toe in the water<br />
when the wire frame doors swing open, and Hagan arrives.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAGAN<br/><br />
Doctor Jackson, Colonel O'Neill! Sorry to keep you waiting, it's so nice to see you both again.<br />
What can I do for you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
We think that a member of our group might somehow be lost inside your building with one of your<br />
employees.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAGAN<br/><br />
Lost? That seems unlikely.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Well&hellip; you gotta' know the guy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAGAN<br/><br />
Of course, come with me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They leave together, followed by four armed guards.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>SEBERUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
We were gaining on them, we had a chance.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter nods.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
You're going to let a little thing like your brother's life stop you from winning the<br />
race.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER/WARRICK<br/><br />
Shut up!</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jarlath looks frustrated.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TYNAN'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
[Tynan watches the computer screen to see if Warrick has complied. He suddenly turns around and<br />
activates the video link to Muirios.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
Muirios, La'el Montrose is gaining on you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MUIRIOS<br/><br />
Yes, I know, you were supposed to take care of her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
I thought I did, she must have overcome the problem. Lose her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MUIRIOS<br/><br />
I'm trying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
Try harder. Do whatever you have to.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Eamon and Teal'c exchange hurried glances.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
(To the guards)<br/><br />
Take them away.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Eamon stand, as the guards brandish their weapons. Hagan, O'Neill, Daniel and<br />
several guards enter the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAGAN<br/><br />
Hello, Del.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
(shocked)<br/><br />
Mr. Hagan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hagan's bodyguards remove the weapons from the men holding Eamon and Teal'c, and detain Tynan.<br />
O'Neill and Daniel walk over to Teal'c and Eamon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Nice outfit, you two guys okay?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
How many times have I told you? Don't get caught by bad guys.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAGAN<br/><br />
(to Tynan)<br/><br />
How could you do this, Dell?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
He claims he is protecting his people from Serrakin conspiracies to enslave the humans of this<br />
world.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
I did what I had to. Your kind are a disease.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
The only disease here is greed. If he was protecting anything, it was the deal he made with<br />
Muirios. Which I suspect was quite lucrative.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAGAN<br/><br />
The reason you have been passed over for advancement is because you've been under investigation<br />
for corruption for over a year. We couldn't prove anything. Until now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
I intend to file a protest with the employment council.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAGAN<br/><br />
Employment is the least of your worries right now, Dell.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Tynan is led away. Eamon rushes over to the video display unit and patches up a link to the<br />
''Seberus''.]<br />
<br />

<br />
[Carter and Warrick smile and nod to each other as Eamon says this.]<br />
<br />

You must be out of your mind!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Do not say a word. Major, give me all you've got.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Maximum power&hellip; Warrick I hate to say it, but Jarlath may be right. Muirios has too big a<br />
lead, we'll never catch him. He cheated, I still can't believe that they'll let him take first<br />
prize.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Unless we can keep Muirios from crossing the finish line first.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How do we do that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
Oh, that's easy.</blockquote><br />
<br />

<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
Just get me close.</blockquote><br />

[Carter and Warrick are manning the controls.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
The closest we will get is when they double back past us after the final turn.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jarlath is on his back by a control unit, fiddling with some red wires.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
It'll have to do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns to look at him]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What are you doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
Rerouting the conduit from your fancy power device, and doubling it back through the<br />
communications array.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Why? So we can ask him to lose.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
Humorous, more like tell him. This will allow us to send a blast transmission. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He replaces the wires and stands up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
If my aim is correct, it will temporarily freeze the command controls on Muirios'<br />
ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
You are even crazier then I thought.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
I never was much of a pilot. But weapons&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He smiles at Carter.]<br />

They are coming around the final turn.</blockquote><br />

with Muirios trying to ram Montrose off the course.]<br />

light.]<br />

Unbelievable! What a finish! La'el Montrose has won the loop of Kon Garat! What happened to<br />
Muirios?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COYLE BORON<br/><br />
It was his race to lose, and he lost it. It looks like that some kind of beam weapon caused his<br />
ship's power to fail.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARDAL HADRAIG<br/><br />
Opening the door for La'el Montrose to take it all! You have got to love that there are no rules<br />
in this race.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COYLE BORON<br/><br />
It's what makes this competition so special, Ardal. I must say that in all my years I haven't<br />
seen anything like it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARDAL HADRAIG<br/><br />
Well, you must be particularly surprised since you picked Muirios to win.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COYLE BORON<br/><br />
Yes, I was wrong about that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARDAL HADRAIG<br/><br />
You also said that Warrick wouldn't be in contention, yet he came very close to finishing this<br />
race.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COYLE BORON<br/><br />
Yes, I was wrong about that too.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARDAL HADRAIG<br/><br />

<br />
==Summary==<br />
<br />
The Loop of Kon Garat is an annual race set in Hebridan space and sponsored by the largest<br />
corporation on the planet, the Tech Con Group.<br />
<br />
==Details==<br />
<br />
The Loop of Kon Garat is an annual race set in Hebridan space and sponsored by the largest<br />
corporation on the planet, the Tech Con Group. The winning pilot is awarded a lucrative contract<br />
with Tech Con's deep space explorations project. The winner's ship has to not only arrive first,<br />
but arrive intact. There are few rules for the race and sabotage and disruption of other<br />
competitors' ships appears to be an acceptable tactic. The Loop consists of four distinct stages<br />
- defence, navigation, manoeuvrability and speed.<br />
<br />
The defence section includes laser cannons which detect movement and attack each ship. The<br />
drones stop firing if a ship becomes disabled, though the drones can be destroyed by<br />
participants' weapons.<br />
<br />
The navigation stage has the ships flying into the sun's chronosphere. Made up of<br />
ionised gases, it intermittently affects communication and navigation equipment. Special<br />
shielding is required to fly through what is basically a thick layer of translucent plasma. The<br />
heat is so intense that it can vaporise ships. The radiation can be partially blocked by<br />
lowering blast shields.<br />
<br />
Ship's manoeuvrability is proven in an asteroid field of ice. The size of asteroids range from<br />
minor shards to huge pieces the size of large buildings.<br />
<br />
Finally, speed is required throughout the race but especially during the final stage. Engine<br />
boosters, such as an Ion Propulsion can be fitted to give the ships greater speed.<br />
<br />
Coyle Boron (one of the race commentators) has won the race twice. <br />
<br />
==The 59th Race==<br />
<br />
The race which Carter takes part in as co-pilot to Warrick is the 59th and she is the first<br />
alien participant in the Loop. Only ten ships took part in the race, which La'el Montrose won.<br />
<br />
Known pilots and ships in the 59th race: <br />
<br />
*Warrick and Carter of the ''Seberus''<br />
*Golan Jarlath of the ''Oran''<br />
*Muirios<br />
*La'el Montrose<br />
*Shibo of the ''Tritan''<br />

==Summary==<br />
<br />
The Loop of Kon Garat is an annual race set in Hebridan space and sponsored by the largest<br />
corporation on the planet, the Tech Con Group.<br />
<br />
==Details==<br />
<br />
The Loop of Kon Garat is an annual race set in Hebridan space and sponsored by the largest<br />
corporation on the planet, the Tech Con Group. The winning pilot is awarded a lucrative contract<br />
with Tech Con's deep space explorations project. The winner's ship has to not only arrive first,<br />
but arrive intact. There are few rules for the race and sabotage and disruption of other<br />
competitors' ships appears to be an acceptable tactic. The Loop consists of four distinct stages<br />
- defence, navigation, manoeuvrability and speed.<br />
<br />
The defence section includes laser cannons which detect movement and attack each ship. The<br />
drones stop firing if a ship becomes disabled, though the drones can be destroyed by<br />
participants' weapons.<br />
<br />
The navigation stage has the ships flying into the sun's chronosphere. Made up of<br />
ionised gases, it intermittently affects communication and navigation equipment. Special<br />
shielding is required to fly through what is basically a thick layer of translucent plasma. The<br />
heat is so intense that it can vaporise ships. The radiation can be partially blocked by<br />
lowering blast shields.<br />
<br />
Ship's manoeuvrability is proven in an asteroid field of ice. The size of asteroids range from<br />
minor shards to huge pieces the size of large buildings.<br />
<br />
Finally, speed is required throughout the race but especially during the final stage. Engine<br />
boosters, such as an Ion Propulsion can be fitted to give the ships greater speed.<br />
<br />
Coyle Boron (one of the race commentators) has won the race twice, <br />
<br />
==The 59th Race==<br />
<br />
The race which Carter takes part in as co-pilot to Warrick is the 59th and she is the first<br />
alien participant in the Loop. Only ten ships took part in the race, which La'el Montrose won.<br />
<br />
Known pilots and ships in the 59th race: <br />
<br />
*Warrick and Carter of the ''Seberus''<br />
*Golan Jarlath of the ''Oran''<br />
*Muirios<br />
*La'el Montrose<br />
*Shibo of the ''Tritan''<br />

'''TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC LEVEL 28'''<br />
<br />
[Elevator doors open, and Carter jogs through them, up the steps and into the briefing room. She<br />
is wearing a dark brown leather jacket and trousers, and carrying a black motorbike helmet.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sorry I haven't changed Sir, the message said it was urgent.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Hello again, Major Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She stops, turning to look at Warrick, who is standing by the briefing room table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Warrick.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
It's good to see you again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You too, but what brings you here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
When we last spoke, you strongly reiterated your desire to gain access to Serrakin<br />
technology.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, of course.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Unfortunately, diplomacy between our respective leadership has been slow to<br />
develop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter glances at Hammond and Daniel who are standing next to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm sure they're just being cautious.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
As I was telling General Hammond and Doctor Jackson, I am here to offer you full access to the<br />
Ion Propulsion engine on the ''Cerberus''.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, that's great!<br/><br />
(To Hammond)<br/><br />
Sir, this could&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(interrupting)<br/><br />
I've read your report Major. I won't debate the value of the technology. But there's<br />
more.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
In return, I would like your help&hellip; to win a race?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter smiles]<br />
<br />
'''END TEASER'''<br />
<br />
'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM.'''<br />
<br />
[Carter, Hammond, Daniel and Warrick are sitting at the table, discussing Warrick's proposal]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
It is called the Loop of Kon Garat. Every year the largest corporation on our planet, known as<br />
Tech Con Group, awards an extremely lucrative contract to the winner of the loop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
A contract?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
It is a time tested method to find the pilot with the best ship for the job. The race is open to<br />
anyone. There are few rules. The winners ship must arrive first and intact.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Let me just get this straight. The government of your planet is allowing you to share advanced<br />
technology with us in exchange for us helping you to win a race?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
(pauses)<br/><br />
Not exactly, I have arranged for a small group of you to come to Hebridan on a diplomatic visit.<br />
There is no rule preventing you from helping me in a race, and what you learn while you are<br />
there&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So unofficially&hellip;?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Warrick pauses]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So how can we help?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Major!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Can't help to ask, can it Sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
The power system you used to recharge the ''Cerberus'' when I was stranded&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
A naquadah generator?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
As you know, the ''Cerberus'' has been through quite a lot. However my diagnostic analysis it's<br />
systems show greatly improved efficiency when supplemented by the naquadah<br />
generator.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'd like to participate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel gives Carter a confused look.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Well actually&hellip; I was not asking you to join me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well why not? I'll have to interface the generator.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Could you not just show me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well naquadah generators are very valuable to us, we're not about to let one out of our sight.<br />
Besides you never know what issues could arrive on the fly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Major, I feel compelled to warn you of the danger, the loop is not for the faint<br />
hearted.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Look we take risks to attain advanced technology all the time. For me there would be no better<br />
way to learn about your ship then to see it in action.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
A victory would mean a great deal to me, I am not above accepting your offer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter smiles and nods acceptance, then suddenly turns to General Hammond.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
With your approval Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Major I expect you to evaluate the risks of this mission on an ongoing basis, and act<br />
accordingly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
As always, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks as if he can't believe what just happened.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CARTER'S LAB'''<br />
<br />
[A naquadah generator lies on Carter's desk. Around it are various wires, tools, cases etc.<br />
Carter is packing for the trip. Daniel enters. She continues to pack throughout the<br />
conversation.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hey.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hey, you ready?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, just about.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Warrick has set us up in meetings with the highest ranking members of the Hebridan government<br />
and business community.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I bet Colonel O'Neill is really looking forward to that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Oh yeah.<br/><br />
(pauses)<br/><br />
Do you really think this is worth it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Absolutely. Why, don't you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, yeah&hellip; I just&hellip; you just seem unusually Gung Ho.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns from her packing, and smiles]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Gung Ho?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It's kind of more about attaining new technology for you isn't it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You mean helping Warrick? He did once risk his life for me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah I heard that. I just think that there's something else.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Look, I know that this could be dangerous. But this is our job right? It's what we signed on to<br />
do. We take risks in the hope of achieving new levels of technology. If and I stress if,<br />
participating in this race just happens to be a little bit&hellip; I don't<br />
know&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Fun?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter grins and casually moves her arms up into the air while looking at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What's a girl to do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Nothing, it's just what I thought.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel still looks a little concerned. Carter returns to her packing.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;HEBRIDAN TV'''<br />
<br />
[A news report suddenly appears on the screen. Alien writing scrolls along the bottom, rather<br />
like CNN. A man sits behind a news desk, looking directly at camera.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARDAL HADRAIG<br/><br />
I'm Ardal Hadraig and welcome back to TCNN's exclusive coverage of the 59th Loop of Kon Garat.<br />
Now as the loop is set to begin tomorrow morning, we have a startling new development to report.<br />
Warrick Finn&hellip;<br/><br />
(his image comes up on screen)<br/><br />
&hellip;announced today that his co-pilot will be a human from the planet we've come to know as<br />
Earth. Major Samantha Carter's participation will mark the first inclusion of an alien in loop<br />
history.<br/><br />
(her image flashes up)<br/><br />
A band of explorers happened upon him when his ship the ''Cerberus'' crashed on an uncharted<br />
planet while transporting convicts to the outlying prison colonies.<br/><br />
(Pictures of all SG-1, including Jonas, and a picture of the planet are displayed on screen)<br />
<br/><br />
Now the question on everybody's mind is will these Earthlings bring Warrick luck a second time<br />
around?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A huge TV screen hovers above the water next to a giant alien city, complete with spaceships<br />
acting as cars.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>CERBERUS</i> HANGER'''<br />
<br />
[Warrick leads SG-1 off the ''Cerberus'', which is sitting in a huge hanger. Several pieces of<br />
machinery are nearby, and look related to the engineering and upkeep of the ''Cerberus''. They<br />
walk towards another man in the hanger.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
May I introduce you all to Eamon. He is responsible for making the ''Cerberus'' what it is<br />
today, and he is my younger brother.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah yes, I see the family resemblance. It's uncanny, boys&hellip; </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He runs out of things to say and there is a short, uncomfortable silence.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Colonel Jack O'Neill, Dan&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
(To Warrick)<br/><br />
You just had to do it didn't you, there was no stopping you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
Eamon&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
Do you really think the ''Cerberus'' is incapable of winning the race without their<br />
help?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Eamon! They saved me from certain death, and are responsible for my getting back home to<br />
Hebridan. I suggest you show some respect.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
My apologies. I am honoured to meet my brother's saviours.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He looks towards Carter and gives her a patronizing stare.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
And you must be Major Carter, the one which without we could not win the loop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You know I feel all warm and fuzzy.<br/><br />
(to Daniel)<br/><br />
How about you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Major Carter, if you are to be my co-pilot, you will need to know how the ship<br />
works.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Warrick places a large book in to her hands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What is this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
A complete operations manual for the ''Cerberus'', I had it translated for you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Thank you!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Looking at the book)<br/><br />
That's not our language!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's mine, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, right&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
Warrick, the long range scanning control unit didn't come in again today. When I called they<br />
said our credit&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
I will go myself and pick one up, after I get back from escorting Colonel O'Neill, Doctor<br />
Jackson and Teal'c to the Hebridan capital building.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
T, you coming?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Major Carter has requested that I remain so that I may assist her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c starts smiling at both Carter and O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL & CARTER<br/><br />
She did? / I did?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c is still grinning as Carter begins to smile, O'Neill looks confused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Right&hellip; yes, thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I do not wish to disappoint Major Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks suspiciously at Carter and Teal'c]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes&hellip; I know the feeling.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Warrick, O'Neill and Daniel leave. Teal'c walks up to Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
I am in your debt, Major Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(grinning)<br/><br />
Indeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>CERBERUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
[Carter removes the naquadah generator from it's case, and places it down ready to be hooked up.<br />
Eamon comes and stands next to her, carrying cables ready to attach the generator to the<br />
Cerberus.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
With all your science and engineering I'm a little surprised that you don't have a power source<br />
that rivals this.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
Oh they exist, we just couldn't afford one.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Oh&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
Warrick is desperate Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How do you mean?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
He was gone a long time, we all thought he was dead. His wife Athea, remarried and has children<br />
of her own now. Since his return, work has been scarce.<br/><br />
(pause)<br/><br />
He thinks this race is a chance to get his life back Major, and he will do anything to win<br />
it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What about you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
Me? Well I work for Tech Con. I design garbage disposal units for the food service division.<br />

I know him from my days of transporting convicts. He was caught running illegal weapons to the<br />
outer mining colonies. I thought he was in prison.</blockquote><br />

I'm running a business here, not a charity. Your credit's been over the maximum for<br />

<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
The best chance of me paying you back is to win the loop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TAUPEN<br/><br />
I'm sorry Warrick I can't give you a new one, but you're in luck. I just picked up this<br />
reconditioned unit this morning.</blockquote><br />

black worn leather and a large moustache walking towards them.]<br />
<br />

You don't think he's good for it do you? He doesn't stand a chance of winning the<br />

<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Jarlath, still avoiding personal hygiene I see.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
Who's your friend Warrick, she looks nice. Golan Jarlath, Captain of the Oran. Very much at your<br />

<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Ignore him, Major.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Warrick takes the scanner component from Taupen and walks away from Jarlath, Carter follows<br />
him.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
Stay out of my way Warrick, or I'll blow your pathetic ship to pieces.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>ARDAL HADRAIG<br/><br />
Well there's no question, the stakes are high. This year's winner receives a lucrative contract<br />
with Tech Con's deep space explorations project. While anything else means massive debt, and the<br />
acrid taste of bitter defeat. Well it's an interesting group of pilots this year Coyle, who do<br />
you think you like?</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
His name was Del Tynan, he's my supervisor. I can't tell what he got. If we're going to prove<br />
anything we're going to have to go to Tech Con. </blockquote><br />

We ran in to a little problem, but we're fine now.</blockquote><br />
<br />

You sure?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, how's it going down there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Uh, good, we're going to help them get a Stargate here, and in exchange we're going to get an<br />
ion drive to study.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Really?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes, so no need to take any chances up there.</blockquote><br />
<br />

I made a deal, Sir, I'm going to stick with it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, having fun, are we, Carter?</blockquote><br />

Alright, be careful.</blockquote><br />

We will, thank you.</blockquote><br />

You're welcome.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks as if he doesn't quite believe her. He turns the video communications link off.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Okay, if we use the gravity of the sun to slingshot us round back around to the course we should<br />
be able to pick up enough speed to get back in the race.</blockquote><br />

<br />
<blockquote>WOMAN<br/><br />
You have to scan in, company policy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She places a hand scanner on the desk. Teal'c and Eamon exchange looks, and Eamon nods. Teal'c<br />
places his hand on the scanner.]<br />
<br />

Sorry your brother isn't doing very well.</blockquote><br />
<br />

This is Tynan's office.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Does he not keep his office secure?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
The company philosophy encourages mutual trust.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Eamon opens the door and walks in, Teal'c follows him. They shut the door behind them. Tynan's<br />
office is filled with large models of components and ships.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
Besides, no one is going to steal his plans.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Eamon rushes up to the desk, turning to face the console on the desk.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
Everything of value in his here, and it is protected by a secret passcode. Fortunately I put a<br />
program on my system that records an intruders passcode should someone attempts to access my<br />

<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />

The drones didn't cause the leak in my life support, I was never hit.</blockquote><br />

their back. The two guards accompanying Tynan are standing behind them.]<br />

<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
How could I? How could I not?<br/><br />

There's something your new friend here does not want you to know. The Serrakin are not to be<br />

<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
The Serrakin freed your ancestors from the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
For what purpose? Sharing technology? Living in harmony? All lies. The Serrakin are seizing<br />
control of our world piece by piece. Taking power and opportunity away from pure blood humans.<br />
Polluting our race by cross-breeding. Weakening it by design, don't you see? The Serrakin are no<br />
better then the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
This is insane Tynan, our society was built by both races, for the good of all<br />
Hebridians.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
Is that why Serrakin hold all the highest positions and humans are treated as second class<br />
citizens?</blockquote><br />

That's not true! When Hagan finds out about this&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
Hagan is one of the primary architects of human oppression on this planet. The winner of the<br />
loop of Kon Garat will be a pure blooded human. And that is merely the first step.</blockquote><br />

You're just mad because you've been passed over for advancement three times.</blockquote><br />

Think I'm the only one? There are enough of us to make a difference.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
Has it occurred to you that maybe the reason you've been passed over so many times is not<br />
because you're a human, but because you're a moron?</blockquote><br />

mean for Muirios?</blockquote><br />
<br />

Well, he's had a commanding lead for the bulk of the competition, but he's got to be wondering<br />
what Warrick has got on board that allowed him to make up that kind of distance so<br />

Well, Coyle, perhaps he is using Ion Pro, a new engine additive from Tech Con propulsion<br />

Yes, perhaps.</blockquote><br />

I thought I did, she must have overcome the problem. Lose her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>MUIRIOS<br/><br />
I'm trying.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
Try harder. Do whatever you have to.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Eamon and Teal'c exchange hurried glances.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
(To the guards)<br/><br />
Take them away.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c and Eamon stand, as the guards brandish their weapons. Hagan, O'Neill, Daniel and<br />
several guards enter the room.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAGAN<br/><br />
Hello, Del.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
(shocked)<br/><br />
Mr. Hagan.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Hagan's bodyguards remove the weapons from the men holding Eamon and Teal'c, and detain Tynan.<br />
O'Neill and Daniel walk over to Teal'c and Eamon.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Nice outfit, you two guys okay?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
How many times have I told you? Don't get caught by bad guys.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAGAN<br/><br />
(to Tynan)<br/><br />
How could you do this, Dell?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
He claims he is protecting his people from Serrakin conspiracies to enslave the humans of this<br />
world.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
I did what I had to. Your kind are a disease.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
The only disease here is greed. If he was protecting anything, it was the deal he made with<br />
Muirios. Which I suspect was quite lucrative.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAGAN<br/><br />
The reason you have been passed over for advancement is because you've been under investigation<br />
for corruption for over a year. We couldn't prove anything. Until now.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TYNAN<br/><br />
I intend to file a protest with the employment council.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAGAN<br/><br />
Employment is the least of your worries right now, Dell.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Tynan is led away. Eamon rushes over to the video display unit and patches up a link to the<br />
Cerberus.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
Warrick, Major Carter! It's Eamon, are you there?</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>CERBERUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Eamon, are you alright?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
(over intercom)<br/><br />
Teal'c and I are both safe&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TYNAN'S OFFICE'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
&hellip;now get back in the race and win. If you can.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He looks at Teal'c, who nods.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>CERBERUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
[Carter and Warrick smile and nod to each other as Eamon says this.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
You must be out of your mind!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Do not say a word. Major, give me all you've got.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Maximum power&hellip; Warrick I hate to say it, but Jarlath may be right. Muirios has too big a<br />
lead, we'll never catch him. He cheated, I still can't believe that they'll let him take first<br />
prize.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Unless we can keep Muirios from crossing the finish line first.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
How do we do that?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
Oh, that's easy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Warrick and Carter turn to look at him]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
Just get me close.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[The two lead ships fly past, duelling with each other for the lead.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>CERBERUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
[Carter and Warrick are manning the controls.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
The closest we will get is when they double back past us after the final turn.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Jarlath is on his back by a control unit, fiddling with some red wires.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
It'll have to do.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns to look at him]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What are you doing?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
Rerouting the conduit from your fancy power device, and doubling it back through the<br />
communications array.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Why? So we can ask him to lose.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
Humorous, more like tell him. This will allow us to send a blast transmission. </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He replaces the wires and stands up.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
If my aim is correct, it will temporarily freeze the command controls on Muirios'<br />
ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
You are even crazier then I thought.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
I never was much of a pilot. But weapons&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He smiles at Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
It's an art.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
They are coming around the final turn.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[Muirios and Montrose come around the final bend. Their spaceships ram each other several times,<br />
with Muirios trying to ram Montrose off the course.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>CERBERUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
He's trying to take out La'el's ship.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
I don't think so.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[As he says this, he presses a button on the mini-console in his hand, and it flares with<br />
light.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;SPACE'''<br />
<br />
[Muirios' engines suddenly die, and Montrose speeds by, crossing the finish line first.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>CERBERUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
[Jarlath laughs, clenching his fist in victory.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Well done.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>JARLATH<br/><br />
Aah'&hellip; don't make me sick.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;TV'''<br />
<br />
[Ardal and Coyle are sitting behind the desk, with alien laguage continuing to stream along the<br />
bottom of the screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARDAL HADRAIG<br/><br />
Unbelievable! What a finish! La'el Montrose has won the loop of Kon Garat! What happened to<br />
Muirios?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COYLE BORON<br/><br />
It was his race to lose, and he lost it. It looks like that some kind of beam weapon caused his<br />
ship's power to fail.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARDAL HADRAIG<br/><br />
Opening the door for La'el Montrose to take it all! You have got to love that there are no rules<br />
in this race.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COYLE BORON<br/><br />
It's what makes this competition so special, Ardal. I must say that in all my years I haven't<br />
seen anything like it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARDAL HADRAIG<br/><br />
Well, you must be particularly surprised since you picked Muirios to win.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COYLE BORON<br/><br />
Yes, I was wrong about that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARDAL HADRAIG<br/><br />
You also said that Warrick wouldn't be in contention, yet he came very close to finishing this<br />
race.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COYLE BORON<br/><br />
Yes, I was wrong about that too.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARDAL HADRAIG<br/><br />
Any predictions for next year?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>COYLE BORON<br/><br />
Oh, well I'd rather not say.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[The pair of them start laughing.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARDAL HADRAIG<br/><br />
Alright then, we'll be right back with post-race interviews after a word from our sponsor.<br />
Corso's temporal eatery, where your whole family can eat what they want, when they want, part of<br />
the Tech Con Group family of restaurants.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>CERBERUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Sorry we did not win.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It was still worth it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Warrick nods as she says this. They take a moment to reflect.]<br />
<br />
'''EXT&mdash;CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CORRIDOR'''<br />
<br />
[Carter walks through a few corridors. She walks past Daniel, who is on one of the internal<br />
phones. He puts the phone down as she starts talking.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hey!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hey.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They walk together.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I just heard from Warrick, the winner of the race hired him to co-pilot on her new contract from<br />
Tech Con.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
That's great!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, he sounded really happy.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You don't.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm fine.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Well, you've still got that Ion Drive to study.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I know, very cool.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
You're just sorry that you lost.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, come on it wasn't fair! Bunch of cheaters&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So what you gonna' do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[They walk with backs toward camera, and off screen.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Next year, I'm gonna' kick butt.</blockquote><br />

'''INT&mdash;SGC LEVEL 28'''<br />
<br />
[Elevator doors open, and Carter jogs through them, up the steps and into the briefing room. She<br />
is wearing a dark brown leather jacket and trousers, and carrying a black motorbike helmet.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Sorry I haven't changed Sir, the message said it was urgent.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Hello again, Major Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[She stops, turning to look at Warrick, who is standing by the briefing room table.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Warrick.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
It's good to see you again.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You too, but what brings you here?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
When we last spoke, you strongly reiterated your desire to gain access to Serrakin<br />
technology.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yes, of course.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Unfortunately, diplomacy between our respective leadership has been slow to<br />
develop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter glances at Hammond and Daniel who are standing next to her.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'm sure they're just being cautious.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
As I was telling General Hammond and Doctor Jackson, I am here to offer you full access to the<br />
Ion Propulsion engine on the ''Cerberus''.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well, that's great!<br/><br />
(To Hammond)<br/><br />
Sir, this could&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
(interrupting)<br/><br />
I've read your report Major. I won't debate the value of the technology. But there's<br />
more.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
In return, I would like your help&hellip; to win a race?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter smiles]<br />

'''OPENING CREDITS'''<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC BRIEFING ROOM.'''<br />
<br />
[Carter, Hammond, Daniel and Warrick are sitting at the table, discussing Warrick's proposal]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
It is called the Loop of Kon Garat. Every year the largest corporation on our planet, known as<br />
Tech Con Group, awards an extremely lucrative contract to the winner of the loop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
A contract?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
It is a time tested method to find the pilot with the best ship for the job. The race is open to<br />
anyone. There are few rules. The winners ship must arrive first and intact.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Let me just get this straight. The government of your planet is allowing you to share advanced<br />
technology with us in exchange for us helping you to win a race?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
(pauses)<br/><br />
Not exactly, I have arranged for a small group of you to come to Hebridan on a diplomatic visit.<br />
There is no rule preventing you from helping me in a race, and what you learn while you are<br />
there&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
So unofficially&hellip;?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Warrick pauses]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
So how can we help?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Major!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Can't help to ask, can it Sir?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
The power system you used to recharge the ''Cerberus'' when I was stranded&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
A naquadah generator?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
As you know, the ''Cerberus'' has been through quite a lot. However my diagnostic analysis it's<br />
systems show greatly improved efficiency when supplemented by the naquadah<br />
generator.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I'd like to participate.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel gives Carter and confused look]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Well actually&hellip; I was not asking you to join me.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well why not? I'll have to interface the generator.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Could you not just show me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Well naquadah generators are very valuable to us, we're not about to let one out of our sight.<br />
Besides you never know what issues could arrive on the fly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Major, I feel compelled to warn you of the danger, the loop is not for the faint<br />
hearted.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Look we take risks to attain advanced technology all the time. For me there would be no better<br />
way to learn about your ship then to see it in action.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
A victory would mean a great deal to me, I am not above accepting your offer.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter smiles and nods acceptance, then suddenly turns to General Hammond.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
With your approval Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>HAMMOND<br/><br />
Major I expect you to evaluate the risks of this mission on an ongoing basis, and act<br />
accordingly.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
As always, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel looks as if he can't believe what just happened.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;SGC CARTER'S LAB'''<br />
<br />
[A naquadah generator lies on Carter's desk. Around it are various wires, tools, cases etc.<br />
Carter is packing for the trip. Daniel enters. She continues to pack throughout the<br />
conversation.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Hey.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Hey, you ready?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Yeah, just about.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Warrick has set us up in meetings with the highest ranking members of the Hebridan government<br />
and business community.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
I bet Colonel O'Neill is really looking forward to that.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Oh yeah.<br/><br />
(pauses)<br/><br />
Do you really think this is worth it?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Absolutely. Why, don't you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
No, yeah&hellip; I just&hellip; you just seem unusually Gung Ho.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter turns from her packing, and smiles]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Gung Ho?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
It's kind of more about attaining new technology for you isn't it.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
You mean helping Warrick? He did once risk his life for me?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Yeah I heard that. I just think that there's something else.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Look, I know that this could be dangerous. But this is our job right? It's what we signed on to<br />
do. We take risks in the hope of achieving new levels of technology. If and I stress if,<br />
participating in this race just happens to be a little bit&hellip; I don't<br />
know&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Fun?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Carter grins and casually moves her arms up into the air while looking at Daniel.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What's a girl to do?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>DANIEL<br/><br />
Nothing, it's just what I thought.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Daniel still looks a little concerned. Carter returns to her packing.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;HEBRIDAN TV'''<br />
<br />
[A news report suddenly appears on the screen. Alien writing scrolls along the bottom, rather<br />
like CNN. A man sits behind a news desk, looking directly at camera.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>ARDAL HADRAIG<br/><br />
I'm Ardal Hadraig and welcome back to TCNN's exclusive coverage of the 59th Loop of Kon Garat.<br />
Now as the loop is set to begin tomorrow morning, we have a startling new development to report.<br />
Warrick Finn&hellip;<br/><br />
(his image comes up on screen)<br/><br />
&hellip;announced today that his co-pilot will be a human from the planet we've come to know as<br />
Earth. Major Samantha Carter's participation will mark the first inclusion of an alien in loop<br />
history.<br/><br />
(her image flashes up)<br/><br />
A band of explorers happened upon him when his ship the ''Cerberus'' crashed on an uncharted<br />
planet while transporting convicts to the outlying prison colonies.<br/><br />
(Pictures of all SG-1, including Jonas, and a picture of the planet are displayed on screen)<br />
<br/><br />
Now the question on everybody's mind is will these Earthlings bring Warrick luck a second time<br />
around?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[A huge TV screen hovers above the water next to a giant alien city, complete with spaceships<br />
acting as cars.]<br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>CERBERUS</i> HANGER'''<br />
<br />
[Warrick leads SG-1 off the ''Cerberus'', which is sitting in a huge hanger. Several pieces of<br />
machinery are nearby, and look related to the engineering and upkeep of the ''Cerberus''. They<br />
walk towards another man in the hanger.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
May I introduce you all to Eamon. He is responsible for making the ''Cerberus'' what it is<br />
today, and he is my younger brother.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Ah yes, I see the family resemblance. It's uncanny, boys&hellip; </blockquote><br />
<br />
[He runs out of things to say and there is a short, uncomfortable silence.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Colonel Jack O'Neill, Dan&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
(To Warrick)<br/><br />
You just had to do it didn't you, there was no stopping you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
Eamon&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
Do you really think the ''Cerberus'' is incapable of winning the race without their<br />
help?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Eamon! They saved me from certain death, and are responsible for my getting back home to<br />
Hebridan. I suggest you show some respect.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
My apologies. I am honoured to meet my brother's saviours.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[He looks towards Carter and gives her a patronizing stare.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
And you must be Major Carter, the one which without we could not win the loop.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
You know I feel all warm and fuzzy.<br/><br />
(to Daniel)<br/><br />
How about you?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
Major Carter, if you are to be my co-pilot, you will need to know how the ship<br />
works.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Warrick places a large book in to her hands.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
What is this?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
A complete operations manual for the ''Cerberus'', I had it translated for you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Thank you!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
(Looking at the book)<br/><br />
That's not our language!</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
It's mine, Sir.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Oh, right&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>EAMON<br/><br />
Warrick, the long range scanning control unit didn't come in again today. When I called they<br />
said our credit&hellip;</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>WARRICK<br/><br />
I will go myself and pick one up, after I get back from escorting Colonel O'Neill, Doctor<br />
Jackson and Teal'c to the Hebridan capital building.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
T, you coming?</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Major Carter has requested that I remain so that I may assist her.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c starts smiling at both Carter and O'Neill.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL & CARTER<br/><br />
She did? / I did?</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Teal'c is still grinning as Carter begins to smile, O'Neill looks confused.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
Indeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
Right&hellip; yes, thank you.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
I do not wish to disappoint Major Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[O'Neill looks suspiciously at Carter and Teal'c]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>O'NEILL<br/><br />
Yes&hellip; I know the feeling.</blockquote><br />
<br />
[Warrick, O'Neill and Daniel leave. Teal'c walks up to Carter.]<br />
<br />
<blockquote>TEAL'C<br/><br />
(quietly)<br/><br />
I am in your debt, Major Carter.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote>CARTER<br/><br />
(grinning)<br/><br />
Indeed.</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''INT&mdash;<i>CERBERUS</i>'''<br />
<br />
[Carter removes the naquadah generator from it's case, and places it down ready to be hooked up.<br />
Eamon comes and stands next to her, carrying cables ready to attach the generator to the<br />
Cerberus.]<br />

black worn leather and a large moustache walking towards them.]<br />

him.]<br />

Well there's no question, the stakes are high. This year's winner receives a lucrative contract<br />
with Tech Con's deep space explorations project. While anything else means massive debt, and the<br />
acrid taste of bitter defeat. Well it's an interesting group of pilots this year Coyle, who do<br />
you think you like?</blockquote><br />

Okay, if we use the gravity of the sun to slingshot us round back around to the course we should<br />
be able to pick up enough speed to get back in the race.</blockquote><br />

places his hand on the scanner.]<br />

Does he not keep his office secure?</blockquote><br />
<br />

The company philosophy encourages mutual trust.</blockquote><br />

The Serrakin freed your ancestors from the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />

For what purpose? Sharing technology? Living in harmony? All lies. The Serrakin are seizing<br />
control of our world piece by piece. Taking power and opportunity away from pure blood humans.<br />
Polluting our race by cross-breeding. Weakening it by design, don't you see? The Serrakin are no<br />
better then the Goa'uld.</blockquote><br />

This is insane Tynan, our society was built by both races, for the good of all<br />
