TEASER
EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN TUNNEL ENTRANCE, DAY
INT—HAMMOND'S OFFICE
[Hammond is feeding pages into a paper shredder one sheet at a time. O'Neill arrives at Hammond's doorway.]
O'NEILL
Got a minute, sir?
HAMMOND
C'mon in, Jack. Have a seat. Ya know, I never anticipated how much paperwork is involved in shutting down a facility. Not exactly the last brave act I wanted to do before retiring.
O'NEILL
So you're still just gonna throw it in, huh?
HAMMOND
Well I was a month away from retirement before we started the SGC. The only thing that kept me here was…well, let's face it, it was a pretty wild ride.
O'NEILL
Yes, sir. Personally, I don't think we should be getting off that ride just yet.
HAMMOND
Colonel, we've been through this. I agree with you, but we have our orders.
O'NEILL
They're ill-conceived orders, sir.
HAMMOND
I agree, but they're orders just the same, and I for one follow orders.
O'NEILL
Even though we are the only line of defense protecting this planet?
HAMMOND
I know that.
O'NEILL
I know you know that, sir. You're still just going to chuck it, huh?
HAMMOND
You don't think I tried everything to prevent this shutdown? I went back to Senator Kinsey twice. The second time, he had me forcibly removed from his office. I went to the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs. Hell, I finally called the President himself.
O'NEILL
What'd he say?
HAMMOND
He said that to override the Senate committee on this one would be political suicide for him.
[O'Neill shakes his head.]
HAMMOND
It's over, Jack. No extensions, no reversals, no new hearings. The Stargate will be buried literally and figuratively.
INT—VIEW OF STARGATE FROM SGC CONTROL ROOM
[The Stargate is covered with white fabric.]
INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM
[Daniel turns as O'Neill enters. Carter and Teal'c are there as well.]
O'NEILL
Hammond's given up. They're going to bury the 'gate day after tomorrow.
TEAL'C
Then I must return through the Stargate as soon as possible.
DANIEL
Yes, we all should go through the 'gate as soon as possible.
CARTER
Whoa whoa whoa, go through, to where?
DANIEL
To the coordinates I got in the other reality.
O'NEILL
Daniel, dammit!
DANIEL
Jack—it was real.
CARTER
Hey, even if it was, how do we know that that address correlates with this reality?
DANIEL
Well, there's only one way to find out, isn't there?
TEAL'C
We should enter the coordinates and attempt to open the 'gate.
CARTER
Okay, hold on. Has anyone considered that we would be in gross violation of orders? Sir, we would be court martialed the second we got back.
O'NEILL
If. If we got back.
DANIEL
Jack, if we don't go through, what I saw in the other reality could happen here. This whole planet could be wiped out. Now in the other reality, by the time I left, Sara was dead, Carter, your whole family was dead, hell, I was dead. Everyone was dead.
O'NEILL
Daniel, I got it.
DANIEL
Okay, well don't you think we should see if we can stop the same slaughter from happening here? Let me ask you something, Jack. If we don't go through now, and the Goa'uld do attack later, how are you gonna to feel?
CARTER
How are just the four of us going to stop the attack anyway, even if we do go through?
DANIEL
Well, we'd have a lot better chance now than we would trying to stop an overwhelming onslaught later. Trust me—I have seen it.
TEAL'C
If the coordinates are for a Goa'uld world which is not on the Abydos cartouche, the Goa'uld will most likely not expect us. I believe a medical attack could be successful.
O'NEILL
Surgical attack, Teal'c. It's called a surgical attack, and I'd feel like an idiot.
CARTER
Sir?
O'NEILL
I was answering Daniel's question. If we don't do something now, and they do attack later, I'd feel like an idiot. We go.
TEAL'C
I too will go.
[Carter hesitates.]
O'NEILL
It's not an order, Captain.
CARTER
I understand that, Colonel. Thank you. I'm going.
INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM
[The Stargate opens. SG-1 is dressed in black BDU's and gear, viewed behind the glass of the control room, at computers. Gate activation alarm is sounding.]
RECORDED VOICE ON PA SYSTEM
Attention all personnel: unauthorized Stargate activation.
O'NEILL
Carter, close the blast doors and corridors to Alpha and Charlie. Disable 'em.
CARTER
I need an authorized officer's security code to disable.
[O'Neill types into a computer.]
O'NEILL
There you go.
[Carter types into a computer.]
INT—SGC CORRIDOR
[Armed troops are running through the corridor, then turn down another corridor.]
AIRMAN'S VOICE
Go! Go! Go!
INT—SGC CORRIDOR
[Hammond, Ferretti and more troops are walking. They see corridor A-2 get closed off as door descends. Hammond swipes his security card through reader. Nothing happens.]
FERRETTI
It's on security lock-out, sir.
HAMMOND
Well, get it open, Major. Now. (to another soldier)
Try going around through corridor C.
SOLDIER
Yes, sir. Move out! Corridor C.
INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM
O'NEILL
All right, MALP's on its way.
CARTER
Should reach its destination in 3…2…1.
[The MALP video image on the computer screen is black.]
O'NEILL
What happened? We lose signal?
CARTER
No, sir. We are receiving video. Point of arrival is dark. Switching to infrared.
[Infrared image shows a DHD and some large crates.]
DANIEL
Looks ancient Egyptian.
TEAL'C
Possibly Goa'uld.
CARTER
No signs of life in the immediate vicinity of the probe.
RECORDED VOICE
Security breached.
[Daniel looks up at an overhead screen.]
DANIEL
They just got corridor C-9 open.
O'NEILL
All right, let's go.
INT—SGC GATE ROOM
[SG-1 rushes into the Gate Room. They run up the ramp and go through the Stargate. Hammond and Ferretti enter with troops just as Teal'c enters the wormhole.]
END TEASER
OPENING CREDITS
INT—GATE ROOM ON KLOREL'S SHIP
[O'Neill is scanning the room using night-vision goggles. He removes them and turns on a flashlight, as do the others. There is no light except for that from the flashlights.]
O'NEILL
Daniel, send back the MALP.
CARTER
Doesn't look like there are any doors or windows.
TEAL'C
Many Goa'uld facilities disguise doorways within their structure.
[Daniel begins to dial Earth. O'Neill is shining his flashlight on a crate.]
O'NEILL
Hey Teal'c, what are these things?
TEAL'C
Transport containers. Much like your shipping crates.
CARTER
So they're shipping something through the 'gate?
TEAL'C
Or receiving.
O'NEILL
Let's have a look inside, shall we?
[The Stargate activates. Daniel commands the MALP to move toward it, and it does. Teal'c opens a crate.]
O'NEILL
Cool. What are these things?
[The crate interior shows two staff weapons and some smaller devices. Teal'c picks up one of the smaller devices.]
TEAL'C
This is a Goa'uld zat'nik'tel. A weapon using a different form of energy less powerful than that of a staff weapon. Less destructive but still quite deadly.
[The Stargate disengages.]
O'NEILL
Sweet. Pass 'em out. What'd you call it?
TEAL'C
Zat'nik'tel.
O'NEILL
Right. Let's call it a zat gun, huh? How do you fire it?
TEAL'C
One need only squeeze it here to fire.
[O'Neill does as instructed and extends the zat to the ready position.]
TEAL'C
The Goa'uld take great pleasure in discharging the weapon only once on a subject, causing him great pain, disabling but not killing him. A second shot will kill most subjects.
CARTER
Nice.
[A whining noise begins and builds in intensity.]
O'NEILL
What the hell's that?
CARTER
What's happening, Teal'c?
TEAL'C
I am unsure.
[The sound continues to build, then there is a clunk and a shimmering and everyone except Teal'c goes flying across the room. Daniel falls down the stairs in front of the Gate and lands face down. Daniel and O'Neill start to move.]
O'NEILL
Everybody okay?
DANIEL
Yeah, what was that?
CARTER
Felt like some kind of weird planetary shift.
TEAL'C
We should dial home immediately.
O'NEILL
Do it, Daniel.
[Daniel dials Earth and hits the center activation crystal, but the DHD glyph lights go out and nothing happens at the Stargate.]
O'NEILL
Daniel?
DANIEL
What? I dialed home just like I did a minute ago, just like I've done a million times before.
O'NEILL
Well, do it again.
[Daniel dials again, and again nothing happens.]
DANIEL
Uh oh.
[A door to the room begins to open. SG-1 takes cover around the room. Six Jaffa march in. Daniel sees that he left his night-vision goggles on the floor. The Jaffa open a crate and a large metallic sphere floats out of it over to the Stargate. The Jaffa march out, leaving the sphere suspended inside the Stargate circle. SG-1 comes out of hiding. The door closes, but the lights in the room remain on.]
O'NEILL
I always get a happy tingly feeling when I see those guys.
[Daniel retrieves his goggles and looks at the sphere.]
DANIEL
Teal'c, what is this?
TEAL'C
It is a Goa'uld long-range visual communication device. Somewhat like your television, only much further advanced.
O'NEILL
Think it gets Showtime? Can you open that door?
TEAL'C
Now that I know its location, I believe I can.
[Teal'c gets the door open. They move into the corridor. The doors close behind them. They hide from the Jaffa going the other way, then move out down the corridor.]
INT—SGC CONFERENCE ROOM
HARRIMAN
Sir, we've confirmed that it was SG-1. They went to the coordinates that Doctor Jackson brought back with him from that…other place.
HAMMOND
If what he was saw was indeed real, that's the origination point of the Goa'uld military attack on Earth.
HARRIMAN
A pretty hostile place to go, wouldn't it sir.
FERRETTI
Do you want SG-2 to go get them, bring them back, sir?
HAMMOND
You'd only be bringing them back for courts martial.
FERRETTI
Permission to speak freely, sir.
HAMMOND
Go ahead.
FERRETTI
Sir, Colonel O'Neill saved my butt more than once. I'd like to go in and back him up.
HAMMOND
I can't send your unit in —
FERRETTI
My men and I are willing to take the risk, sir.
HAMMOND
I'll take that under advisement, Major.
INT—CORRIDOR ON KLOREL'S SHIP
[SG-1 is moving carefully along the corridor and make their way into a room.]
INT—PELTAC ON KLOREL'S SHIP
[There is a sarcophagus in the room. They search the room.]
DANIEL
A sarcophagus.
O'NEILL
Oh, great. More snakeheads. Teal'c, any idea which one's in here? Teal'c?
[Teal'c is looking at something; the rest join him.]
CARTER
We're not on a planet, are we?
TEAL'C
That is correct.
[The camera reveals a view screen showing a wormhole-like image.]
TEAL'C
It appears we are aboard a Goa'uld transport vessel.
CARTER
And that jolt was…
TEAL'C
Hyperlaunch.
INT—SGC GATE ROOM
[Stargate ring is spinning. A technician is preparing a MALP.]
HARRIMAN
(voice off-camera)
Chevron four encoded.
HAMMOND
You'll proceed much like SG-1 did. We'll send the MALP through first. If it's clear, you'll go through immediately.
FERRETTI
Yes, sir.
HARRIMAN
Chevron five encoded.
HAMMOND
I'd like to reemphasize, Major, that officially your primary mission is to bring back SG-1 for court martial.
FERRETTI
Yes, sir.
HARRIMAN
Chevron six encoded.
HAMMOND
Major, bring them back alive and well.
FERRETTI
That's my plan, sir.
HARRIMAN
Chevron seven…will not lock.
HAMMOND
What happened, Sergeant?
HARRIMAN
I'm sorry, sir. I—I don't know.
HAMMOND
Well, find out.
EXT—KLOREL'S SHIP TRAVELING THROUGH HYPERSPACE
INT—PELTAC ON KLOREL'S SHIP
O'NEILL
Teal'c, why didn't you tell us we were on a ship?
TEAL'C
I was not sure. I have never been aboard a Goa'uld vessel such as this. Most accelerate very differently. Most do not contain Stargates.
[A Jaffa enters, aiming a zat at O'Neill. The rest take cover, unseen by the Jaffa.]
JAFFA
Tel-ko-nak!
O'NEILL
Hey! How ya doin'? Uh, seen a bathroom around here?
[O'Neill ducks as the Jaffa fires his zat; the shot hits the view screen and disperses. Carter comes out from hiding and zats the Jaffa twice. Teal'c zats him a third time, making his body disappear.]
O'NEILL
Okay, one shot hurts 'em, two shots kill 'em. The third shot…
TEAL'C
Disintegrates him.
O'NEILL
Oh, great. You didn't feel this was worthy of mention, I take it.
[Carter gestures at the view screen.]
CARTER
The blast spread across this area like there was glass here. This is a force field of some sort.
TEAL'C
That is correct. There is no transparent material capable of withstanding this velocity.
CARTER
Or temporal displacement. We're traveling faster than light, right?
TEAL'C
That is correct.
CARTER
So the ship must have been in orbit around a planet when we 'gated here. Then it—it launched or left orbit, which would explain why we can't 'gate home.
DANIEL
The point of origin isn't valid anymore.
CARTER
Right.
O'NEILL
Well, I suggest the two of you figure out how to get us back home.
CARTER
Sir, the only way to that would be to turn this thing around and go back to where we started.
DANIEL
Right, I'll just go tell the pilot.
O'NEILL
Teal'c, you know how to fly one of these things?
TEAL'C
Of this I am unsure. It appears to be of a new technology.
O'NEILL
So, you couldn't turn this tub around, I take it.
TEAL'C
I am qualified only to pilot the Goa'uld death gliders. I suggest we relocate to another chamber as soon as possible. Royal sarcophagi are rarely left unattended for long.
[They leave the room and make their way through the corridor. Jaffa approach while they hide. The Jaffa pass by. SG-1 enters a new room; O'Neill watches the passing Jaffa through a hole in the wall.]
INT—GLIDER HANGAR ON KLOREL'S SHIP
DANIEL
Jack? It's happening.
[A hangar full of death gliders being prepared for launch is revealed.]
DANIEL
We're on an attack ship headed to Earth.
O'NEILL
Okay. Well, we've got some problems then.
CARTER
Teal'c, how fast can this ship go?
TEAL'C
A Goa'uld ha'tak vessel can travel at ten times the speed of light.
CARTER
Okay, so if we are heading to Earth, then we have a long time.
O'NEILL
Based on what?
CARTER
Based on the coordinates of the planet we gated to.
O'NEILL
We didn't gate to a planet, we gated to a ship.
CARTER
Yeah, but that ship had to have been in orbit around or on the surface of a planet in order for those 'gate coordinates to work. So, based on the location of those coordinates, even if we were traveling at ten times the speed of light, it would take at least a year to get to Earth, probably more.
LOUDSPEAKER VOICE
Mol jaffa. Tim lokeem rel roconnai.
[The Jaffa leave the hangar.]
DANIEL
They're being summoned to some sort of gathering.
[They watch Jaffa pass in the corridor from a small hole in the wall. The Jaffa are moving the sarcophagus along the corridor.]
O'NEILL
Okay, let's go.
DANIEL
Wait a minute. Go where?
O'NEILL
Wherever they're goin'.
[Teal'c opens door to corridor. They move out.]
INT—GATE ROOM ON KLOREL'S SHIP
[The sarcophagus is in this room now. Jaffa, female acolytes and priests are gathered around it. The large metallic sphere hanging inside the Stargate comes to life, revealing a live image of Apophis.]
APOPHIS
Chel hol, Jaffa. The end of a dark moment in Goa'uld history approaches. Soon we will wipe out the scourge that plagues us. I will rejoin you as we come out of the shadows. Until then, you are to follow all orders of my son, as if they were my own.
[SG-1 has sneaked into the room and remain in hiding. The sarcophagus opens.]
APOPHIS
Bow down now. Show me your reverence for my son. The mighty warrior, Klorel!
[Klorel stands up in the sarcophagus.]
KLOREL
Tel kol, Jaffa. Kel, Apophis. Re nek Klorel.
APOPHIS
Re nek, Klorel.
[O'Neill is troubled that Klorel is Skaara.]
EXT—KLOREL'S SHIP TRAVELING THROUGH HYPERSPACE
INT—GATE ROOM ON KLOREL'S SHIP
[SG-1 is hiding behind a container as last Jaffa leave.]
O'NEILL
He called him his son. That's sick!
CARTER
Not exactly a chip off the old block.
DANIEL
The Goa'uld inside Skaara is probably the son of the one inside Apophis.
O'NEILL
Thank you, Daniel, that's encouraging.
CARTER
I'm just tryin' to help.
TEAL'C
O'Neill, what is our plan of attack?
O'NEILL
We're going to split up. Carter, you and Daniel start plantin' C4 all over this ship.
DANIEL
And what are you and Teal'c going to do?
O'NEILL
We're going to try and grab Skaara.
CARTER
Sir, are you sure? It-it would be like trying to take Apophis.
TEAL'C
They do not know we are aboard. There would be little reason to keep him under heavy guard.
CARTER
Okay, but with respect, sir, I think you're making an emotional decision here.
O'NEILL
Maybe, but it's also the best strategic decision.
CARTER
Is it?
DANIEL
Jack has a point. If we can capture him, maybe we can get through to the old Skaara. Kendra said that she could fight past her Goa'uld when it was still inside of her.
O'NEILL
Let's go.
CARTER
Sir. Contingency plan.
O'NEILL
C-4.
INT—PELTAC ON KLOREL'S SHIP
[O'Neill and Teal'c burst in, fighting Jaffa using Zats. They take out all the Jaffa. Klorel prepares his ribbon device. Teal'c grabs him from behind.]
KLOREL
Chel nok, makor.
TEAL'C
Rin nok.
[Teal'c takes the ribbon device off of Klorel.]
KLOREL
You dare to do this to Klorel? You will die a painful death.
O'NEILL
Yeah, yeah, whatever.
TEAL'C
There's a raised hieroglyphic on the wall next to the door. It resembles a coiled serpent. Push, then turn it.
[O'Neill does so, and the door closes.]
TEAL'C
Stand aside.
[Teal'c zats the raised symbol, fusing it into place. O'Neill does the same to the symbol for the only other door after closing it.]
TEAL'C
They will not be able to access this room for some time.
O'NEILL
Hey, Skaara. Long time, no see.
INT—CORRIDOR ON KLOREL'S SHIP
[Carter and Daniel are moving down the corridor. They duck into the hangar to avoid Jaffa troops.]
CARTER
All right. Those things have to be fueled by something, and fuel is usually combustible, so…
DANIEL
So if we blow up one, we'll probably start a chain reaction.
CARTER
Right.
[Carter moves in and sets a charge on one of the death gliders.]
INT—PELTAC ON KLOREL'S SHIP
O'NEILL
C'mon, Skaara, think. Try to remember me, I'm Jack O'Neill; this is Teal'c.
KLOREL
Ah, Teal'c, the traitor. I will take great pleasure in delivering his head to my father.
O'NEILL
He's not your father.
KLOREL
He is my father. He seeded the queen mother. He chose the host in which I will live out eternity. Apophis gave me life.
O'NEILL
All right, I'm not talkin' to that thing in your head. I'm talking to Skaara.
KLOREL
Nothing of the host survives.
O'NEILL
That's bullshit. Now let him talk to me.
KLOREL
Your friend had a feeble mind. It suffered greatly and gave in easily.
[Klorel laughs. O'Neill slugs Klorel in the jaw.]
INT—KLOREL'S SHIP—CORRIDOR OUTSIDE OF PELTAC
[Jaffa are working on control panel and trying to get the door to open.]
INT—PELTAC ON KLOREL'S SHIP
O'NEILL
C'mon Skaara. Look at me. Try.
KLOREL
Perhaps I will not kill you. Perhaps you will make a good host yourself.
O'NEILL
(to Teal'c)
All right, promise me this thing won't kill him.
TEAL'C
Two shots will. One shot will only cause him great pain.
O'NEILL
So here's the deal. Let him out, let him talk to me, or you get the whole load.
KLOREL
You will only hurt your friend.
O'NEILL
He's a tough kid.
KLOREL
Your friend is too afraid to come forward. He enjoys my protection. He really does not wish to speak with you.
O'NEILL
Is that right? Let him go, Teal'c. Let him go.
[Teal'c steps away. O'Neill fires on Klorel, who falls in pain.]
SKAARA
Sha'uri! Daniel!
[Teal'c holds Skaara while O'Neill kneels in front of him.]
O'NEILL
Skaara. Hey there.
SKAARA
O'Neill! Oh, it hurts.
O'NEILL
I know, kid. I'm sorry.
SKAARA
O'Neill, are you still my friend?
O'NEILL
Yes, I am.
SKAARA
Can you forgive me for what we are about to do?
O'NEILL
What are you about to do? Skaara! Skaara, what are you about to do?
SKAARA
Please forgive us.
O'NEILL
Hang in there kid, c'mon, hang on! What are you about to do?
KLOREL
Jaffa! Nok kree tol!
[Teal'c and O'Neill restrain Klorel. Jaffa get the door open and storm in.]
JAFFA
Drop your weapon. Release Klorel now.
O'NEILL
C'mon Skaara, help us.
JAFFA
Release him, or we will kill the human.
TEAL'C
If you kill the human I will kill Klorel.
JAFFA
And the host in which he resides?
[Teal'c lowers his zat to the floor. Klorel picks it up, steps behind O'Neill and zats him; he falls from his knees to the floor, unconscious. A Jaffa prepares to fire on him with a staff.]
KLOREL
Jaffa, nok!
[The Jaffa stops.]
KLOREL
The traitor and his recruiter. My father will be pleased.
INT—GATE ROOM ON KLOREL'S SHIP
CARTER
The naquadah in the 'gate will magnify the explosion.
[Daniel is looking at the metal sphere.]
DANIEL
I'm just hopin' they can't see us through this thing.
[The door to the room begins to open. Carter and Daniel move to hid behind the Stargate platform. Klorel enters, followed by O'Neill, Teal'c, and four Jaffa. Klorel kneels before the metal ball, and it comes to life with Apophis' face.]
APOPHIS
Shin'tel, Klorel.
KLOREL
Father, I wish to present you with a great gift. The traitor, Teal'c. And, I present the human that recruited him.
O'NEILL
Hey Pops.
APOPHIS
Silence! Klorel, where did they come from?
KLOREL
I do not know. We found them after departure.
APOPHIS
How many more came with you?
O'NEILL
Thousands. We brought a whole army.
KLOREL
I assure you, Father, there could be no more.
APOPHIS
You have made me proud, my son.
KLOREL
Do you wish that I keep them until our rejoining?
APOPHIS
No. Teal'c must suffer the most painful death a Jaffa can know. Removal of his prim'ta. Let his new master watch him suffer and die.
KLOREL
What about the human?
APOPHIS
You may choose his method of death, but do it soon. It is almost time for remoc.
KLOREL
Yes, Father.
APOPHIS
I look forward to seeing you at our destination. Lek tol.
[Apophis' image fades from the sphere. A priest, two female acolytes, and more Jaffa enter. The priest unsheathes a two-pronged knife.]
O'NEILL
Skaara, don't let this happen. Don't let 'em do this.
KLOREL
Na-nay.
[The priest stops.]
KLOREL
Take them to the peltac.
[The Jaffa escort them out, followed by Klorel. Cater and Daniel stand up from where they were crouching behind the platform.]
CARTER
Daniel, we're going to go after them.
DANIEL
Wait a minute, when are we going to blow the ship?
CARTER
We'll detonate only as a last resort.
DANIEL
Listen, I wanna save them as much as you do, but if we get captured or killed, there is going to be nobody left to blow this ship before it gets to Earth.
CARTER
That's why I'm setting a timer. If we don't deactivate it in 24 hours, it'll go automatically. Okay?
DANIEL
Okay.
INT—PELTAC ON KLOREL'S SHIP
[Klorel and Jaffa arrive with O'Neill and Teal'c.]
KLOREL
You wish to go home to your planet?
O'NEILL
Of course.
KLOREL
Jaffa, krel tak remoc.
[A Jaffa puts his hand on a small metal ball.]
TEAL'C
O'Neill, prepare yourself for—
[O'Neill goes flying into a control panel then sits up, rubbing his head.]
TEAL'C
Extreme deceleration.
O'NEILL
Thanks, Teal'c.
[O'Neill looks at the view screen.]
O'NEILL
Oh my God.
[The view screen shows that the ship is about to pass Saturn.]
KLOREL
You will get to see your home one last time, before you, and everyone on your planet, are destroyed. And your kind will disturb the Goa'uld no more.
EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN TUNNEL ENTRANCE, NIGHT
INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM
HARRIMAN
Sir, I think we have another situation. We just spoke with Cairn deep-space radar, and they picked up two large blips passing Saturn. They're heading towards Earth.
HAMMOND
Any identification yet?
HARRIMAN
Not yet, sir. NASA's just repositioning Hubble right now. Then we should be able to get a closer look.
HAMMOND
Guess Doctor Jackson is lucky.
HARRIMAN
How so, sir?
HAMMOND
He won't have to be around to watch his nightmare come true for a second time.
[Hammond picks up the red phone.]
HAMMOND
This is Major General Hammond. Let me speak to the President.
EXT—KLOREL'S SHIP TRAVELING THROUGH SOLAR SYSTEM
INT—CORRIDOR ON KLOREL'S SHIP
[Daniel and Carter are moving down the corridor, evading a large contingent of Jaffa. They follow the Jaffa to the glider bays. The cockpits of the gliders close, with pilots aboard.]
INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM
[Hammond briefs his staff.]
HAMMOND
The President is mobilizing every branch, including the Guard and Reserve. The Air Force efforts will be coordinated through this facility. I need this room converted to a command and control center ASAP. Now make sure we have a link to AF SATCOM for encrypted communications to all Air Force bases and to NASA. Any more details on what we're facing?
HARRIMAN
Not yet, sir.
INT—KLOREL'S SHIP, CORRIDOR AND PELTAC
[Carter and Daniel approach the peltac, where Jaffa are holding O'Neill and Teal'c captive. Carter sets off a smoke grenade in the corridor. Some Jaffa come to investigate, and Carter and Daniel fire on them, taking them out. They move into the peltac, and O'Neill and Teal'c join the fight in hand-to-hand combat. They take out all the Jaffa.]
[Klorel grabs Daniel, whose gun skitters across the floor. Klorel then begins using the ribbon device on Daniel, who drops to his knees and grabs Klorel's arm, but to no effect. O'Neill grabs Daniel's fallen weapon.]
O'NEILL
Skaara! Skaara, don't!
TEAL'C
O'Neill, you must take action!
O'NEILL
Skaara!
[O'Neill shoots Klorel/Skaara twice with Daniel's pistol. Klorel falls, and O'Neill goes to his side.]
CARTER
Daniel, you okay?
[Daniel is sitting up but is gasping and unable to answer.]
SKAARA
O'Neill.
O'NEILL
Ah, Skaara, I'm sorry.
[Skaara/Klorel smiles at O'Neill, then dies.]
TEAL'C
Colonel O'Neill.
O'NEILL
