'''SEASON TEN:'''
:*"Season 10: major revelations, an emotional loss, a burgeoning threat, a quest, several players enter the mix..." — Joseph Mallozzi, [http://www.austscifi.com/content/view/33/28/ Aust Sci Fi interview], December 9.
:*"We do have a major arc upcoming in season 10 involving a new character. It has yet to be cast." — Joseph Mallozzi, GW Q&A, January 21. Brad Wright talks to SciFi Wire about adding Adria to S10's villains, [http://stargate-sg1-solutions.com/blog/?p=502 Solutions Spoiler Blog], March 21. Marena Baccarin has been cast to play Adria as an adult, first appearing in 10.07 "Counterstrike". "I've shot one episode, leaving to shoot two more next week [10.10 and 10.11 "The Quest" two-parter]. [I've signed for] Three [episodes]. But I think I am doing four, so far." — Marena Baccarin, [http://www.thescifiworld.net/interviews/morena_baccarin_01.htm The SciFi World], May 24.
:*"I don’t know what is in store for S10. I know that I won’t be in all 20 eps of SG1. I do also know that I will be doing some crossover episodes in Atlantis. So again I don’t know for sure how many of each I will be in, but the majority will be SG1." — Amanda Tapping, [http://www.theamandatappingclub.net/archive/2006.html Live Chat with The Amanda Tapping Club], January 16.
:*"I'm contracted for 16 episodes this season," Shanks says. "I'll probably be out of the fourth and fifth episodes and two others later on." — Michael Shanks, [http://www.michaelshanks-online.com/archives/msol/msfeet.shtml Michael Shanks Online Interview with Michael Shanks], January 2006.
:*"Season Ten is about the Ori sweeping through our galaxy, and us kind of having to start from scratch again and finding technology and resources and allies that we can use to fight against them. It puts us back at square one, so to speak." — Executive Producer Robert C. Cooper, [http://www.gateworld.net/news/2006/04/oriforcesg-1tostartfromscr.shtml GateWorld interview], April 14.
:*Brad Wright—executive producer of SCI FI Channel’s original series Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis—told SCI FI Wire that it’s been like old times having Richard Dean Anderson back on set for several guest appearances on both shows, reprising his role as Gen. Jack O’Neill. Anderson’s first appearance will be in “200,” SG-1’s 200th episode, which will air Aug. 18 as part of the series’ upcoming 10th season. “It’s been a lot of fun to see him again,” Wright said in an interview. “He’s doing two episodes of SG-1 and three episodes of Atlantis.” — Brad Wright in an interview with Ian Spelling for [http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=35782 SCI FI Wire], April 28.
:*"I have my first couple pieces complete... we delivered a "Preview to Season 10" piece to Sony at the first of the month, and it turned out pretty well... the only thing is, I am not sure what it is being used for. It might be an online piece... if anyone sees it, let me know." — Ivon Bartok, Producer of DVD Special Features, [http://www.gateworld.net/blogs/bartok/index.shtml GateWorld Blog], May 11.

:*"It's not episode 9. And hopefully, it will be in the back half of season 10." — Joseph Mallozzi, SG1Solutions, January 20.
:*"The next couple of weeks will no doubt be spent reading and commenting on scripts, revising, and hopefully breaking some more stories. I'd love to get cracking on the big SG-1 mid-season quest two-parter or '''the time travel, What If?, story we briefly discussed''' (hopefully, no producer's head will explode this time, unlike the time we broke Moebius I and II)." — Joseph Mallozzi, January 2 Blog.
:*"I've always been better pitching on paper than delivering verbal pitches, so I wrote up a bunch of story ideas for both shows: Extreme Measures, In the Darkest Recesses, The Kindred, Suffer the Children, Yesterday Today and Tomorrow, The Tainted, and Morpheus. [...] Yesterday Today and Tomorrow is a time travel story (x2) that I've wanted to do since last year." — Joseph Mallozzi in his GateWorld Blog, November 13.

[[Category:DVD Releases]]

==Summary==

First a word on anomalies.

In the UK the first disc released (Volume 1) contained the "highlights" of Season One. At a later date the whole of Season One was released as a boxed set. At the time of writing (early 2004), this is still the only way to buy Season One. Later after a number of discs had been released, boxed sets of other seasons were also released. At time of writing, it is still the practice for the discs to be released individually and the boxed sets of the seasons to come out at a later date. As far as is known, the discs are the same, the only difference being a note on the disc boxes indicating that boxed set discs should not be sold separately.

It is also worth noting that there are one or two examples of the episode order on the DVDs being different from the original broadcast order.

Also, the photographs on the disc boxes do not always correspond to the episode.

==Volume 1 (2 disc set)==

== SciFi.com Official Summary ==

Aboard the International Space Station in Earth's orbit, Cosmonaut Anatole Konstantinov barely avoids being struck by part of Anubis' destroyed mothership as it passes under the station—leaving a smoky trail that rises up and passes into the station unnoticed.

Down on Earth, at Stargate Command, Brigadier General Jack O'Neill, the newly installed chief, is drowning in paperwork when Colonel Alexi Vaselov introduces himself as a new transfer. Vaselov, Russia's most highly decorated and experienced officer, has requested to be assigned to SG-1 now that there's a new opening for the fourth position following O'Neill's promotion. But O'Neill refuses on the grounds the Colonel will have to go through Stargate training like any other recruit.

Dr. Daniel Jackson, feeling Vaselov deserves an explanation, goes to see him. Vaselov is disturbed by O'Neill's decision and is showing signs of fatigue. Suddenly, Vaselov collapses.

With Vaselov in isolation, attending physician Dr. Brightman informs O'Neill of the Colonel's condition. The last thing Vaselov remembers is being in Russia. He doesn't know how he got to Stargate Command. Dr. Brightman also tells O'Neill that Vaselov has lesions covering forty percent of his body and that he might be contagious. Everyone having had contact with him must be examined. Daniel is just about to go offworld with SG-11 when the Stargate shuts down. Daniel grabs a team member and holds him hostage at gunpoint, demanding that the 'Gate be reactivated. Teal'c fires his zat at both Daniel and his hostage. But Daniel gets up and fires wildly, wounding two Special Forces guards. O'Neill shoots him in the shoulder and Daniel falls to the floor, motionless.

It's Dr. Brightman's opinion there is a contagion on base. O'Neill immediately orders all offworld teams to 'Gate to the safe haven Alpha Site and not return to SGC—which is now in lockdown.

Vaselov, who has had excessive exposure to the infection, is dying. Daniel was only exposed a short time and will be fine. Soon Vaselov begins getting flashbacks of his coming to SGC but, as he tells Teal'c, it as though he is outside his body looking in. Later, Teal'c suggests to Lieutenant Colonel Samantha Carter and Dr. Brightman that this disease, which seems to be affecting the minds of those it infects, may not be a disease at all but an alien entity. Although tests have already ruled out the presence of a Goa'uld symbiote, Dr. Brightman's information from Russia confirms that the condition is very selective: It began with Cosmonaut Konstantinov, who'd grown ill and died within a week of returning from space. Vaselov had visited his friend and colleague Konstantinov, accounting for Vaselov's condition. But no one else who came into contact with Konstantinov was infected. It looks as though this is a new form of alien invader moving from person to person—and could be anyone, anytime.

Daniel awakens and recalls the incident in the 'Gate room in flashbacks, as though he were looking in at his own body, just like Vaselov. But Daniel is eventually able to recall who was in his body at the time: Anubis, the Goa'uld system lord who almost destroyed the Earth. He is not dead, as everyone thought, but alive and on the base.

According to Daniel, Anubis had surrendered his mortal form when he'd Ascended long ago, only to be cast down by the Ancients. He had since existed as a purely immaterial being, his physical form merely a force shield that was destroyed—releasing his essence into Earth's orbit. Now that essence has found its way to SGC, where it is trying to obtain a human form so that it can 'Gate to Anubis' power base light-years away and obtain a new force shield.

Daniel recalls now that Aunbis left him to go into nurse Lieutenant Evans, who was caring for him earlier. When questioned, Evans has no recollection. But Airman Malcolm McCaffrey is unaccounted for. McCafferty is heading toward the control room, taking out any guards in his way. As he's about to command a technician at gunpoint to activate the Stargate, O'Neill zats him. Suddenly, the ethereal form of Anubis emerges from McCafferty's body and disappears through the ceiling.

Daniel proposes that the only way to deal with Anubis is to let the Ancients do it for them: If they prevent Anubis from going through the 'Gate and from getting into other bodies, he will have to use his powers as an Ascended being, breaking the rules of Ascension, and the Ancients will step in. O'Neill must inform the understandably concerned personnel that to prevent Anubis' escape, lockdown must continue indefinitely. There is food for a month.

Carter devises an elaborate security plan, dividing SGC into three secured zones. There's only one problem: Anubis is now in Carter and is headed toward Zone A, where power control to the Stargate has been rerouted. A kick-ass Carter zats or knocks out everyone in her path, including Daniel, and uses her security override codes to reroute power to the control room. On her way there, she takes out one guard and tangles with another. O'Neill shows up and zats them both.

Anubis has set up a sequence of automated commands to activate the Stargate. With SGC security compromised, O'Neill activates the self-destruct sequence and enters the 'Gate room, where the Stargate has been activated. Anubis now inhabits O'Neill, and he's going to leave. Carter, in custody, convinces Teal'c she's not Anubis and Teal'c allows her to stop the self-destruct. Meanwhile, the dying Col. Vaselov, who has heard the alarms, appears in the 'Gate room and forces Anubis to take his body instead of O'Neill's by threatening to kill them both. Anubis does so and goes through the 'Gate. But he doesn't end up where he intended: Carter was able to override the established dialing sequence and input an alternate address. Anubis, inside Vaselov's body, is now frozen solid on the icy KS7-535.

== SciFi.com Official Summary ==

Aboard the International Space Station in Earth's orbit, Cosmonaut Anatole Konstantinov barely avoids being struck by part of Anubis' destroyed mothership as it passes under the station—leaving a smoky trail that rises up and passes into the station unnoticed.

Down on Earth, at Stargate Command, Brigadier General Jack O'Neill, the newly installed chief, is drowning in paperwork when Colonel Alexi Vaselov introduces himself as a new transfer. Vaselov, Russia's most highly decorated and experienced officer, has requested to be assigned to SG-1 now that there's a new opening for the fourth position following O'Neill's promotion. But O'Neill refuses on the grounds the Colonel will have to go through Stargate training like any other recruit.

Dr. Daniel Jackson, feeling Vaselov deserves an explanation, goes to see him. Vaselov is disturbed by O'Neill's decision and is showing signs of fatigue. Suddenly, Vaselov collapses.

With Vaselov in isolation, attending physician Dr. Brightman informs O'Neill of the Colonel's condition. The last thing Vaselov remembers is being in Russia. He doesn't know how he got to Stargate Command. Dr. Brightman also tells O'Neill that Vaselov has lesions covering forty percent of his body and that he might be contagious. Everyone having had contact with him must be examined. Daniel is just about to go offworld with SG-11 when the Stargate shuts down. Daniel grabs a team member and holds him hostage at gunpoint, demanding that the 'Gate be reactivated. Teal'c fires his zat at both Daniel and his hostage. But Daniel gets up and fires wildly, wounding two Special Forces guards. O'Neill shoots him in the shoulder and Daniel falls to the floor, motionless.

It's Dr. Brightman's opinion there is a contagion on base. O'Neill immediately orders all offworld teams to 'Gate to the safe haven Alpha Site and not return to SGC—which is now in lockdown.

Vaselov, who has had excessive exposure to the infection, is dying. Daniel was only exposed a short time and will be fine. Soon Vaselov begins getting flashbacks of his coming to SGC but, as he tells Teal'c, it as though he is outside his body looking in. Later, Teal'c suggests to Lieutenant Colonel Samantha Carter and Dr. Brightman that this disease, which seems to be affecting the minds of those it infects, may not be a disease at all but an alien entity. Although tests have already ruled out the presence of a Goa'uld symbiote, Dr. Brightman's information from Russia confirms that the condition is very selective: It began with Cosmonaut Konstantinov, who'd grown ill and died within a week of returning from space. Vaselov had visited his friend and colleague Konstantinov, accounting for Vaselov's condition. But no one else who came into contact with Konstantinov was infected. It looks as though this is a new form of alien invader moving from person to person—and could be anyone, anytime.

Daniel awakens and recalls the incident in the 'Gate room in flashbacks, as though he were looking in at his own body, just like Vaselov. But Daniel is eventually able to recall who was in his body at the time: Anubis, the Goa'uld system lord who almost destroyed the Earth. He is not dead, as everyone thought, but alive and on the base.

According to Daniel, Anubis had surrendered his mortal form when he'd Ascended long ago, only to be cast down by the Ancients. He had since existed as a purely immaterial being, his physical form merely a force shield that was destroyed—releasing his essence into Earth's orbit. Now that essence has found its way to SGC, where it is trying to obtain a human form so that it can 'Gate to Anubis' power base light-years away and obtain a new force shield.

Daniel recalls now that Aunbis left him to go into nurse Lieutenant Evans, who was caring for him earlier. When questioned, Evans has no recollection. But Airman Malcolm McCaffrey is unaccounted for. McCafferty is heading toward the control room, taking out any guards in his way. As he's about to command a technician at gunpoint to activate the Stargate, O'Neill zats him. Suddenly, the ethereal form of Anubis emerges from McCafferty's body and disappears through the ceiling.

Daniel proposes that the only way to deal with Anubis is to let the Ancients do it for them: If they prevent Anubis from going through the 'Gate and from getting into other bodies, he will have to use his powers as an Ascended being, breaking the rules of Ascension, and the Ancients will step in. O'Neill must inform the understandably concerned personnel that to prevent Anubis' escape, lockdown must continue indefinitely. There is food for a month.

Carter devises an elaborate security plan, dividing SGC into three secured zones. There's only one problem: Anubis is now in Carter and is headed toward Zone A, where power control to the Stargate has been rerouted. A kick-ass Carter zats or knocks out everyone in her path, including Daniel, and uses her security override codes to reroute power to the control room. On her way there, she takes out one guard and tangles with another. O'Neill shows up and zats them both.

Anubis has set up a sequence of automated commands to activate the Stargate. With SGC security compromised, O'Neill activates the self-destruct sequence and enters the 'Gate room, where the Stargate has been activated. Anubis now inhabits O'Neill, and he's going to leave. Carter, in custody, convinces Teal'c she's not Anubis and Teal'c allows her to stop the self-destruct. Meanwhile, the dying Col. Vaselov, who has heard the alarms, appears in the 'Gate room and forces Anubis to take his body instead of O'Neill's by threatening to kill them both. Anubis does so and goes through the 'Gate. But he doesn't end up where he intended: Carter was able to override the established dialing sequence and input an alternate address. Anubis, inside Vaselov's body, is now frozen solid on the icy KS7-535.

Cameron Mitchell joins the Stargate Program and finds himself the new commander of SG-1, as well as its only member.

Report 2 of 2: During an attempt to rescue Jacob Carter, SG-1 and Martouf have been captured by one of the denizens of the Hell-replica moon Netu, who is determined to use their information to overthrow Sokar. With the aid of the Tok'ra memory technology and a hallucinogenic drug nicknamed "the blood of Sokar," each prisoner is forced to relive vivid, painful memories. But this time, they are unable to distinguish between memory and reality.

Meanwhile, an attack by Sokar's forces leaves Teal'c with no choice but to seek backup from the Tok'ra. They respond with orders to deliver a bomb that will destroy Netu and Teal'c's friends along with it.

Report 1 of 2: The Tok'ra Martouf arrives at the SGC with troubling news: Major Samantha Carter's father, Jacob, and his Tok'ra symbiote, Selmak, have been captured by the evil Goa'uld System Lord Sokar. Jacob/Selmak is imprisoned on a moon called Netu—which Sokar has transformed to resemble the biblical Hell.

The Tok'ra believe that Sokar plans to launch an attack against the other system lords, gaining full control for himself. Martouf will try to rescue Jacob/Selmak, but his first priority is finding out how much Selmak knows about Sokar's plan. Unfortunately, no one has escaped from Netu—no one except Jolinar, and she never told anyone else.

SG-1 and Martouf travel to Netu on a spaceship. En route, Martouf uses Tok'ra technology to access any of Jolinar's memories that might still be in Carter's mind. However, what Carter recalls are painful remembrances from her own past, and dark secrets that Jolinar never wished for Martouf to know.

Once they reach Netu, Teal'c stays on board the ship while the rest of SG-1 and Martouf search for Jacob/Selmak through the underground caverns of Netu, but the unexpected appearance of an old foe foils SG-1's plan.

Ancient Knowledge and Technology

2006-03-18T23:41:23Z

Alison: /* Ancient Technology */

[[Category:Ancients]][[Category:Technology]][[Image:ancient-knowledge.jpg|thumb|170px|left|''"It's more than any human can begin to comprehend. Like the universe, it's infinite. It's not just knowledge and information—it's understanding on a level that you will never reach." ''—Daniel Jackson to Replicator Carter, 8.17 "Reckoning Part 2"]]
==Summary==

The Ancients are a race of humans who have existed for millions of years and were the builders of the Stargates. Through the access to their knowledge and technology, the humans of Earth have gained considerable ground in keeping several galaxies safe from terrible oppressors and enemies.

==Ancient Knowledge==

The SG-1 team has had two members who have harbored the knowledge of the Ancients. Jack took two temporary downloads from Repositories of Knowledge (2.16 "The Fifth Race", 7.21 "Lost City Part 1", 7.22 "Lost City Part 2", 8.01 "New Order Part 1", 8.02 "New Order Part 2") and Daniel learned the "infinite" knowledge of the Ancients while he was ascended (5.21 "Meridian", 7.01 "Fallen Part 1", 7.02 "Homecoming Part 2", 8.19 "Reckoning Part 1", 8.20 "Reckoning Part 2").

===Jack's First Download===
{|
|valign="top"|[[Image:21601.jpg|thumb|170px|left|Jack takes first download of Repository of Knowledge]]
|valign="top"|[[Image:21604.jpg|thumb|170px|left|Jack uses Ancient knowledge]]
|valign="top"|[[Image:21606.jpg|thumb|170px|left|Jack travels to meet the Asgard]]
|}
When Jack had the knowledge of the Ancients downloaded the first time (P3R-272), he wrote a formula for computing stellar drift on the chalkboard in Daniel's lab in base eight math (octal). This formula may also have been input by him when he made massive amounts of code changes to the SGC's dialing computer system. Carter considered the formula "revolutionary."

Although they have never been able to build one of their own, Jack drew the detailed schematics of the Dial Home Device (DHD) when he had the knowledge download the first time. Carter read these schematics to override a freeze in the dialing sequence on a DHD on a planet with two suns. It is possible that the severe heat from the suns had damaged the DHD originally.

Jack also input the addresses of Stargates in the Milky Way Galaxy which did not appear on the Abydos Cartouche. These planets were most likely not known to the Goa'uld and were, therefore, quite valuable. The planets were thought to be mostly those of the Ancients and to have Ancient technology on them. The SGC could also use these addresses for Alpha Site candidates. About four and half years after the addresses had been input into the SGC's computer, the SGC had sent out probes to only about a quarter of them, indicating that there were hundreds, if not thousands, of these planets. There was one planet from this list which had advanced lifeforms, but they were not friendly to Earth (4.20 "Entity"). For the most part, however, these planets have been uninhabited (4.06 "Window Of Opportunity", 7.17 "Heroes Part 1", 7.18 "Heroes Part 2", 7.21 "Lost City Part 1", 7.22 "Lost City Part 2") or inhabited by friendly people (3.20 "Maternal Instinct", 7.01 "Fallen Part 1").

Jack's first download of the Repository of Knowledge also revealed the existence of an eight-symbol address to dial a Stargate outside the Milky Way Galaxy. The first planet reached in another galaxy was Othala in the Ida Galaxy, home of the Asgard. The eight-symbol address still has the point of origin last, but the seventh symbol adds a distance calculation to the coodinates in space which are defined by the first six symbols. While visiting the Asgard, Jack learned that the Ancients were indeed the builders of the Stargates and had moved on from their region of space a long time ago.

The trip to the Ida Galaxy was powered by a generator Jack built with the knowledge of the Ancients. The materials he used to build this generator were from common items found on the base, plus the liquid naquadah power source in a staff weapon. The generator blew out after its first use, but was fixed by Carter and an alternate reality version of her, Dr. Samantha Carter (Mrs. Jack O'Neill). They took the generator to the alternate reality to power the Stargate to contact the Asgard to save Earth from Apophis' invasion. The generator remained in that alternate reality and, if procedures were followed, the Quantum Mirror used to get to that alternate reality was destroyed. (3.06 "Point Of View")

===Jack's Second Download===

|valign="top"|[[Image:frozen-jack.jpg|thumb|170px|left|Jack enters stasis chamber to save his life]]
|valign="top"|[[Image:80201eg.jpg|thumb|170px|left|Jack in Thor's care]]
|}
Jack's second download of the Repository of Knowledge (P3X-439) revealed the location of two of the Ancients' outposts: one on the planet Praclarush Taonas, the other, in Antarctica. Jack also taught Daniel that the Stargate symbols represented not only constellations, but sounds. The address of Praclarush Taonas was constructed by the six syllables of the planet's name. The point of origin for Earth has the sound "at" associated with it.

Jack modified a Goa'uld cargo ship using Ancient knowledge. His first modification was to the engines, enhancing their performance so that they would reach Praclarush Taonas before he ran out of time from the side effects of the download. His second modification was to the ring transporter where he enhanced the light beam to melt a mile of ice over the Antarctic Outpost. The cargo ship was considered one of the most advanced pieces of technology that Earth possessed, but it was destroyed in the Othala Galaxy where the planet Hala was located. Carter and Teal'c had taken it to find the Asgard so that they could unload the Ancient knowledge from Jack like they had the first time, but the ship was destroyed from the gravitational effects of a black hole the Asgard had created to destroy all of the Replicators which were entrapped on Hala. Some of the Replicators escaped, however, and headed for the Asgard's new homeworld. (6.12 "Unnatural Selection", 8.01 "New Order Part 1")

The Asgard were familiar with the Ancients and their legacy. They had tried to learn from a copy of the Repository of Knowledge accessed by the Asgard hundreds of years ago (when Thor was young). The information stored in the Repositories is so vast that Thor suggested that it was infinite. When Thor beamed Jack from the stasis chamber in the Antarctic Outpost to a stasis chamber on his ship, the ''Daniel Jackson'', he suggested that he connect Jack's mind to the ship's computer so that Jack could use the knowledge to create a weapon to destroy the Replicators. Jack designed a disruptor gun and then Thor removed the knowledge from his mind once more. The new weapon worked, but some of the Replicators escaped before the energy wave could be emitted by the ''Daniel Jackson'' to destroy the Replicators which were invading the Asgard's planet. (8.02 "New Order Part 2")

===Daniel's Ascended Knowledge===

|valign="top"|[[Image:81603.jpg|thumb|170px|left|Daniel recalls Ancient knowledge from his time ascended]]
|}
When Daniel, as an Ascended Being, discovered the tablet on Abydos which was written in one of the oldest forms of the Ancient language, he was able to read the writings with great ease. He related what he read to Carter and Jonas and spoke of the "Lost City." Daniel was removed from his confrontation with Anubis before he used his ascended powers to destroy him. At that point, the rest of SG-1 thought that he was destroyed in the encounter. But, Daniel was pulled away by Oma Desala before The Others got a hold of him and did something more drastic. Daniel chose to return to human form, but part of the arrangement was that his memories were to be erased. Oma disobeyed the rules (again) and merely buried Daniel's memories. When Daniel returned to the SGC after having been found on the planet Vis Uban, his memories started to return. One of the skills which came back full force, even before his memories of all of his prior life, was the ability to read the Ancient writings. He corrected Jonas' erroneous translations of the Abydos tablet, again showing the ease with which he read the language as he had demonstrated on Abydos while he was an Ascended Being. Daniel's ability to read the oldest form of the Ancient writing placed him in the middle of a dangerous mission to hack into Anubis' computer systems on his mothership. Anubis, too, had learned the language of the Ancients and used it to encode his computer systems. Daniel and Jonas were successful in their mission and Anubis' superweapon, and ultimately his mothership, were destroyed. (6.22 "Full Circle", 7.01 "Fallen Part 1", 7.02 "Homecoming Part 2", 8.18 "Threads")

Daniel's knowledge of the Ancients' language makes him invaluable to the SGC. The fact that he had been an Ascended Being made him the target of those who thought he had memories of that time, which included Ancient knowledge of the locations of powerful Ancient weapons. Replicator Carter knew that Daniel might harbor that kind of knowledge in his subconscious, so she kidnapped him. While Replicator Carter probed Daniel's mind, it was discovered that he not only had the ability to translate the writings of the Ancients, but he also retained the entirity of the Ancients' knowledge. Daniel had a complete version of the Repository of Knowledge, as well as other knowledge he obtained while ascended, stored deep in his subconscious. He was never able to access the information on his own, but with Replicator Carter's "help," he not only gained access to some of the knowledge but used it to take control of the Replicators which were all over the galaxy. Through Replicator Carter's distribution of the knowledge she obtained from Daniel to her "brethren," Daniel piggy-backed the command to freeze every Replicator out there. This bought Jacob/Selmak enough time to activate the weapon on Dakara which destroyed all the Replicators. Replicator Carter killed Daniel to break his control and he died on the ship right before it disintegrated. Oma Desala saved him and offered him ascension one more time, but he returned to human form after he had a hand in eliminating Anubis on his plane of existence. (8.16 "Reckoning Part 1", 8.17 "Reckoning Part 2", 8.18 "Threads")

Whether or not Daniel retains any of his ascended memories or his Ancient knowledge after his return to human form after his second ascension remains to be seen.

|valign="top"|The Ancients were the race who built the Stargate network throughout the Milky Way and Pegasus Galaxies. There is at least one Stargate in the Ida Galaxy (home of the Asgard). There are thousands of Stargates in existence and the SGC has yet to visit each one. The two main sources of Stargate addresses have been the Abydos Cartouche and the Repository of Knowledge database. There have been a handful of addresses which have been provided by other means.

Each symbol lights up as the address is entered. Usually, each Stargate has a DHD nearby. The SGC does not have a DHD, however, and uses a bank of supercomputers to operate their Stargate instead.

Although the information contained in the library was most likely from all four races, the device itself appeared to be of Ancient design. The only Library of the Four Races found was on Ernest Littlefield's planet (P3X-972) and it is most likely that the device was destroyed when the building in which it was stored collapsed. (1.11 "The Torment Of Tantalus")

|valign="top"|There have been two planets discovered thus far which have the Ancients' Repository of Knowledge devices (P3R-272, P3X-439). In both cases, Jack took downloads from them and utilized the information to accomplish amazing goals: discovering a method of dialing the Stargate in another galaxy using additional power and an eight-symbol address, and determining the location of Ancient Outposts in the Milky Way Galaxy where power sources and advanced weaponry are kept. Both Repositories are no longer accessible (one's energy source expired and the other was blown up with explosives to prevent it from falling into Anubis' hands).

This catastrophe is believed to have been the plague which killed off many of the Ancients millions of years ago. The time machine did not work and its builders shut it down, wrote of their efforts on the walls surrounding the device, and let the end come. (4.06 "Window Of Opportunity")

|valign="top"|[[Image:602-ancientweapon.jpg|thumb|left|[[Stargate Destroyer]]]]
|valign="top"|The Stargate Destroyer uses a Stargate to destroy another Stargate by establishing a wormhole to the victim Stargate and sending an energy beam which causes a build-up in the Stargate's storage capacitors. The energy beam builds this power slowly, almost without detection, until the target Stargate overloads. The naquadah with which the Stargate is built enhances the explosion, guaranteed to not only destroy the Stargate, but ultimately the planet (due to changes in the atmosphere and weather). Anubis found one of these Stargate Destroyers and it was destroyed by Teal'c's son, Rya'c. The address or name of the planet was not disclosed. (6.01 "Redemption Part 1", 6.02 "Redemption Part 2")

|valign="top"|SG-1 discovered an interesting device in an Ancient research facility on the planet P9X-391. They brought it home and suddenly, everyone on the base was seeing these strange creatures (some of them extremely insect-like). After Jonas Quinn translated some of the glyphs, they determined that the device was designed for one to observe creatures in dimensions close to his/her own. The particle wave that the device emitted was like food to attract the creatures and anyone who touched the machine would be able to see them. If a person touched the device, their natural electrical field was changed so that the person could see the closest dimension. The ability to see this dimension was passed on from person-to-person through touch. Carter and Jonas modified the placement of the power crystals of the device and reversed its charge so that a person would no longer see the creatures. The disposition of the device is not known (either it was returned to the planet or it was sent to Area 51 for further study). (6.13 "Sight Unseen")

|valign="top"|[[Image:DNA-resequencer.jpg|thumb|170px|left|[[DNA Manipulation Device]]]]
|valign="top"|The DNA Manipulation Device was discovered on the planet designated P3X-367 and was in the hands of the Goa'uld Nirrti who was continuing her pursuit of creating the perfect human host. The subject would stand on a raised platform and the device would display the double helix structure of his/her DNA in a holographic projection. The control console of the Manipulator permitted the operator to rotate the holographic projection of the DNA strand and also to actually make modifications to the subject's DNA. Nirrti used this device on the inhabitants of the planet and caused tremendous mutations in their physical and mental forms. The inhabitants discovered Nirrti's deception, killer her, and destroyed the device after they used it to restore all those who were affected by DNA changes. Another DNA Manipulation Device was discovered in an underground lab on the planet P3X-584 and was used by Anubis to advance a human-Goa'uld hybrid toward ascension. Anubis' experimentation was much more sophisticated than Nirrti's because he had discovered Ancient research on ascension. The DNA Manipulation Device could have been used by the Ancients to artificially ascend, to activate the gene needed to operate most of their technology, to render gene therapy for various afflictions, to find ways to cure victims of the plague, or to find methods of killing the plague itself.

The technology worked as a healing device for the Ancients, but it proved dangerous to humans if they were exposed to it for too long a time at too close a distance. Anubis conquered Telchak, but never found the device. He understood the technology, however, and used it to give life to his Kull Warriors. If a human were exposed to the powers of the device after death, the energy absorbed by the dead tissue reanimates it—creating a zombie. The Telchak Device was hidden in a subterranean structure built by the Mayans in modern-day Honduras and spawned the Fountain of Youth myth. It was discovered by Dr. Daniel Jackson and Dr. Bill Lee and studied by the Tok'ra to help the SGC develop a weapon which would counteract the Kull Warriors' life energy.

Jack remained in the stasis chamber until SG-1 could get help from the Asgard. A similar chamber was found in Anubis' underground lab on the planet P3X-584 where he kept his human-Goa'uld hybrid Khalek, an experiment in artificially advancing a human toward ascension. Another chamber was found still operational after 10,000 years in the city-ship Atlantis. The stasis chamber does not "freeze" the subject completely, but merely slows down the metabolism (metabolic stasis).

Janus built a time machine inside a small spacecraft, nicknamed by Maj. John Sheppard as a "puddle jumper," and stored it in the jumper bay among all of the other jumpers. The timeship left on Harry's planet had a Stargate dialing computer in its dashboard with the symbols of the constellations of the Milky Way Galaxy, so it is most likely meant to travel within this galaxy's Stargate network. The timeship was used by a future version of SG-1 to travel back in time to 3000 B.C. in order to retrieve a ZPM. The time traveling team placed the ZPM in a First Dynasty Tomb so that the future versions of themselves would not have to travel back in time to retrieve the ZPM. In the current timeline of SG-1, the timeship is being studied by scientists at Area 51.

Recently, the weapon was used in conjunction with the Stargates of the Milky Way Galaxy to send an energy wave to destroy the Replicators. It could have just as easily been configured to destroy all life in the galaxy, as was the intent of Anubis. The weapon was destroyed by the Free Jaffa Nation who had taken Dakara in their battle for freedom. It is said that this same device was used to reseed the Milky Way Galaxy with life after the plague which killed several Ancient worlds swept through the galaxy millions of years ago.

The Ring Transporter transports the traveler on a radiant matter stream. If a traveler or object is standing on the platform when another transporter is activated, the objects switch places, so the matter streams travel in two directions. Ring Transporters have companion Ring Platforms which can be specifically targeted. A Ring Platform, however, is not necessary for the transporter to function if the originating transporter is close enough to the target coordinates.

This generator was designed to be connected to the power panels of the SGC base and allowed the Stargate to draw more power than it ever could otherwise. This extra power enabled the Stargate to form a stable wormhole to another galaxy (in this case, the Ida Galaxy, home of the Asgard). The generator used the liquid naquadah from a staff weapon as a key source of power.

The Velonans used the weapon and the Goa'uld was destroyed, but soon thereafter, they decided to use the weapon to conquer neighboring worlds. The Others punished Orlin by destroying Velona and banishing him there. When the SGC substituted a naquadah reactor to generate the power to turn the weapon on once again, Orlin stepped in and prevented it and then destroyed the weapon for good.

The Asgard had the technology to produce a prototype from the design. It was meant to disrupt the link between the blocks which composed the Replicators. After it worked, Thor used the design to configure an identical energy wave using his ship, the ''Daniel Jackson'', as the source of the wave. He rid the Asgard's homeworld of the Replicators which were physically on the planet, but some of them escaped. The Asgard then designed a satellite which emitted the same disruptor wave. That device was used at the Alpha Site to destroy Fifth and his ship. The wave's frequency was discovered by Replicator Carter and she developed an immunity to it. Thor and Carter modified the frequency and Thor used his ship once again to destroy Replicators which were onboard a Goa'uld ha'tak in the Milky Way Galaxy. When they attempted to use the energy wave a second time, however, they found that the Replicators learned how to adapt immunity to the wave through their hyperspace link. Eventually, the energy wave to destroy the Replicators throughout the Milky Way Galaxy was emitted by the weapon on Dakara which used similar technology to match the frequency within a margin of that of the modified disruptor wave.

|}
On the planet P3X-972 (also known as Ernest's Planet and later redesignated PB2-908), Daniel was shown a library room which had the writings of four alien races on its walls. In the center of the room was a device which projected a universal language written with pictoral depictions of the basic elements (of the periodic table). Daniel was so excited by the discovery of this language and database, calling it the "meaning of life stuff," that he was willing to risk being stranded on the planet for an indefinite period of time just to study its contents. He was pursuaded to leave, but the database and all it contained were lost when the building they were in collapsed, sending the Stargate into the ocean. (1.11 "The Torment Of Tantalus")

Daniel recognized the writings of one of the four races from P3X-972 as that which belonged to the Asgard, based on his experiences on Cimmeria with Thor's Hammer (1.10 "Thor's Hammer"). When a probe returned results from the planet P3R-272 which had images of writings which matched those of one of the four races, Daniel suggested that if the race were an ally to the Asgard, then it was possible they'd be helpful in Earth's war against the Goa'uld. Based on this proposal, SG-1 went to the planet and there, Jack inadvertently took a download from a Repository of Knowledge. Jack began to read the inscription in a form of Latin similar to Medieval Latin. He also input several new Stargate addresses into the SGC's dialing computer database (those not on the Abydos Cartouche discovered by Daniel in the episodes, 1.01 "Children Of The Gods Part 1", 1.02 "Children Of The Gods Part 2"). Jack helped Daniel translate more of the inscription which revealed the identity of the race: "We are the Ancients." Based on these clues, Daniel studied the Roman histories and made the assumption that it was the "ancient ones" who actually built the Stargate network: "See, the Romans were the first real road builders. They spoke Latin and they learned to build roads from the gods, known as the Ancient Ones. Roads. Stargates. The Gate builders. What if these Ancients were the alien race who invented the Stargate?" (2.16 "The Fifth Race")

Jack used the Ancient knowledge to build a power supply which would enable the SGC to connect to a Stargate in another galaxy. Using this device, he introduced the SGC to an eight-symbol Stargate address, the "extra" symbol adding a distance calculation to the standard seven-symbol address (six points in space and a point of origin). He dialed the homeworld of the Asgard, Othala in the Ida Galaxy, and the Asgard removed the knowledge of the Ancients from Jack's mind. This meeting with the Asgard, as well as the one with Thor on Cimmeria (2.06 "Thor's Chariot"), helped to solidify Earth's alliance with this highly advanced race. This alliance proved to be extremely beneficial in the saving of many lives in several galaxies. (2.16 "The Fifth Race")

Daniel's theory about the "ancient ones" being the builders of the Stargates, those spoken of in Roman histories who spoke a form of Latin, was proved by the Asgard when Jack met them on Othala. The Asgard said that the Ancients moved from "our region of space long ago." The alliance of four great races was created "millennia ago" and included the Ancients, the Asgard, the Furlings, and the Nox. (2.16 "The Fifth Race")

Several million years ago, the race of humans known as the Altera left their home galaxy because another group of humans of their society, called the Ori, were attempting to kill them. The Altera and Ori were on the evolutionary path toward ascension, the shedding of the physical body to live as a form of energy on a higher plane of existence, and a great philosophical rift concerning ascension developed between them. The Altera took a scientific approach toward ascension while the Ori attached a religious aspect to it, calling it the Path to Enlightenment, because ascension gave one greater knowledge and understanding of the universe. Eventually, the Ori grew so extreme in their beliefs that they sought to wipe out the Altera. Instead of engaging in a war, the Altera fled. They traveled thousands of years before they found a new home in the Milky Way Galaxy. They called their new home "Avalon" and built the Stargate network (they called them "Astria Porta"). The exact time that the Altera, known as the Ancients in this galaxy, left their home galaxy is not yet known, but they could have had a presence in this galaxy as long ago as 50 millions years. This was Carter's estimation of the lifespan of the power crystal technology used in the Dial Home Device (DHD) found with the second Stargate in the Antarctic. This DHD's power ran out not long after it was discovered. Her estimates, however, cannot be used to conclusively state that the Stargate and DHD found in Antarctica were original to that location—they could have been moved there at some later date. (1.18 "Solitudes", 6.04 "Frozen", 9.02 "Avalon Part 2", 9.10 "The Fourth Horseman Part 1")

During their search for the Lost City of the Ancients and after Jack took a second download from the Repository of Knowledge on P3X-439, Jack led SG-1 to a planet called Praclarush Taonas. This planet had been buried in molten lava for at least a million years, according to Carter's estimates. Still, however, the Outpost remained, having been protected by a domed-shaped force field. Jack took the team to the Taonas Outpost to retrieve a Zero Point Module (ZPM), an advanced power source which would be used to activate powerful weapons in the Antarctic Outpost to destroy Anubis' attacking fleet. While sitting in the command chair at the Taonas Outpost, Jack displayed a map which showed the Ancients' domain in the Milky Way Galaxy, and then zoomed in on Earth to indicate the location of Terra Atlantis, the Lost City of the Ancients. The map which Jack projected, however, did not account for 30 million years of continental drift. It was not clear if this age was indicative of how long ago the database at the Taonas Outpost was abandoned or how old the Repository of Knowledge information was which Jack was using. It does hint, however, that Terra Atlantis, the city-ship Atlantis on the planet Terra, might have been located on Earth as long ago as 30 million years. (7.21 "Lost City Part 1", 7.22 "Lost City Part 2")

Also discovered in Antarctica was a frozen woman, Ayiana. She miraculously revived herself after being thawed out by the scientists assigned to study the location where the Antarctic Stargate was found. Based on their preliminary ice core sample readings, the scientists estimated that Ayiana had been frozen in the ice for at least three million years. Ayiana's discovery led them to conclude that she was an Ancient. They were surprised that she was nearly human, but she did possess abilities which humans currently do not have, one being the ability to heal through touch. Whenever Ayiana used this ability, she drained herself until, ultimately, she could not heal herself of the plague which she carried and spread to the SGC personnel at the research facility. Ayiana died at the SGC base. When Jack took the download from the Repository of Knowledge the second time, he carried it longer than he did from his first experience. He demonstrated the ability to heal by touch in the same manner as Ayiana. (6.04 "Frozen", 7.21 "Lost City Part 1", 7.22 "Lost City Part 2")

The plague which killed off many of the Ancients had been speculated about over the course of SG-1's first years of exploration, but wasn't a definite event until Daniel discovered a tablet on Abydos written in one of the oldest dialects of the Ancients' language. This tablet provided some additional information about the Ancients who lived in the Milky Way Galaxy: the Ancients were a race of humans who lived long before us; some of them learned to ascend to a higher plane of existence; those who did not ascend died of the plague. From this tablet, Daniel concluded that the collective of Ascended Beings known as The Others, were the ascended Ancients. (6.22 "Full Circle")

The tablet discovered on Abydos did not tell the story of a third group of Ancients who lived in the Milky Way Galaxy, those who lived in the city-ship known as Atlantis, but it did refer to their Lost City which had powerful weapons. When Daniel did research at the Antarctic Outpost, he estimated that these Ancients left Earth five to ten million years ago. Viewers are given the additional information that Ayiana was present when Atlantis left, watching her people leave from her station at the Antarctic Outpost. Since Ayiana was a carrier of the plague which killed off many of the Ancients, it can be assumed that the plague swept through the galaxy sometime between five and ten millions years ago as well. (''Stargate Atlantis'': 1.01 "Rising Part 1")

Daniel did not know the exact reasons why the Ancients left for the Pegasus Galaxy, but he suggested the following: to escape the plague, to start over, or to seek out new life in a new galaxy. Once the Atlantis Expedition Team entered Atlantis, they started to explore the great city-ship. They discovered a holographic recording made by a female Ancient who explained why they had come to the Pegasus Galaxy: to seed the galaxy with "new life where there appeared to be none." This seeding resulted in the creation of the Wraith, an insect-human hybrid which evolved from a life-sucking bug and the human DNA which the Ancients introduced into the galaxy. (''Stargate Atlantis'': 1.01 "Rising Part 1", 1.02 "Rising Part 2")

The Ancients who lived in the city-ship Atlantis in the Pegasus Galaxy returned to Earth 10,000 years ago. These Ancients were the last survivors of the city-dwellers and left because they were under siege by the Wraith who had grown into a powerful, technologically advanced race. They sank the city-ship in the ocean on the planet Lantia which they used as their homeworld in the Pegasus Galaxy and escaped through the Stargate back to Earth, never to return to Atlantis. (''Stargate Atlantis'': 1.01 "Rising Part 1", 1.15 "Before I Sleep")

===Ancients' Legacy on Earth===

The Ancients influenced the development of Earth both directly and indirectly through the use of their left-over technology.

After the plague swept throughout the Milky Way Galaxy, Jim/Anubis said that the Ancients used the weapon on Dakara to reseed life in the galaxy "some million odd years" ago. He did not elaborate further concerning which group of Ancients used this weapon, if at all (consider that the source of the information was an evil, deceptive, half-ascended Goa'uld). If this weapon was indeed used to reseed the galaxy with new life, then it can be reasonably concluded that the Stargate on Earth was used during that reseeding, since the weapon's energy wave was more effective when used through the Stargate and the human form has been considered to have evolved solely from Earth in this galaxy. (1.03 "The Enemy Within", 8.16 "Reckoning Part 1", 8.17 "Reckoning Part 2", 8.18 "Threads")

The Ancients also did research on ascension which Anubis discovered and used to trick Oma Desala into helping him to ascend when he found her on the planet Kheb (8.18 "Threads"). Oma Desala, whose name means ''Mother Nature'', might have influenced Earth religions and philosophies through her ability to control nature and her teachings concerning the worthiness of the soul of those who sought enlightenment through ascension (akin to Zen Buddhism) (3.20 "Maternal Instinct").

The Ancients who returned to Earth 10,000 years ago from the Pegasus Galaxy probably spread the legend of the Lost City of Atlantis to the Greeks and influenced the Romans with their language and knowledge. Some of these Ancients lived for thousands of years and built the underground caverns of "Avalon" in the Glastonbury Tor in the present-day United Kingdom. One of those Ancients, named Myrddin, influenced the King Arthur legends as the wizard Merlin. It was from a book stored with the treasures of Avalon that Daniel Jackson discovered the story of the Altera and of their finding a new home in the Milky Way Galaxy. These Altera were the progenators of the Ancients. (9.02 "Avalon Part 2"; ''Stargate Atlantis'': 1.01 "Rising Part 1")

Also, those who returned to Earth from the Pegasus Galaxy might be the reason that there are some humans of Earth today who have the Ancient gene which performs as a key to unlock most of the Ancients' technology. They never returned to Atlantis, but some of them most likely left Earth through the Stargate to other planets in the Milky Way Galaxy. (2.16 "The Fifth Race", 8.13 "It's Good To Be King"; ''Stargate Atlantis'': 1.15 "Before I Sleep")

In the thousands of years of Anubis' life (at least 10,000 years, if Ra's lifetime is taken under consideration), there existed an Ancient device discovered by the Goa'uld Telchak which had great healing abilities. Anubis went into battle with Telchak and defeated him, but he never discovered the location of this device which Telchak used to fashion the first sarcophagus. Telchak is thought to have been on Earth during the Mayan civilization (circa 900 B.C.-1000 A.D.) and impersonated Chac, the Mayan god of rain. It is believed that his use of the Telchak Device and the writings describing where the device was hidden (near a waterfall) were what spawned the Fountain of Youth myth. (7.11 "Evolution Part 1", 7.12 "Evolution Part 2")

The Goa'uld's use of Ancient technology, namely the Stargate network, enabled them to enslave humans from Earth all over the galaxy. These Goa'uld, in turn, influenced Earth's development when many of them took on the identities of the ancient gods from Egyptian, Canaanite, Celtic, Chinese, Hindu, Greek, Mayan, and Japanese cultures, among many others.

After discovering an Ancient intergalactic communications device in the treasures of Avalon, Daniel Jackson formed a psychic link with a villager of Ver Ager on the planet thought to be the original home of the Ancients (when they were known as the Altera). What he discovered was that the Alterans who had ascended to become The Others had kept the existence of humanity in the Milky Way Galaxy a secret from the Ori who had also ascended. The Ori have created a religion which dictates that they be worshipped as humanity's creators and gods and promise ascension to the faithful, although they never intend to help their devotees to ascend. If anyone rejects the Ori, the Ori will destroy them. Daniel thought that since the Ori manifest themselves in a wall of fire and fire is the icon of the religion, called Origin, that the Ancients might have influenced Earth's religions to associate fire with demonic aspects as a way to warn humanity of the Ori's evil intent. (9.02 "Avalon Part 2", 9.03 "Origin Part 3")

==Notable Characters==

* [[Ayiana]] - She was left behind when the city-ship Atlantis left Earth from the Antarctic five to ten million years ago. She stayed at the Antarctic Outpost, but somehow ended up near the Stargate and froze there. She was recovered and revived by research scientists, but she died soon thereafter. (6.04 "Frozen")
* [[Janus]] - He was one of the Ancients who left Atlantis in the Pegasus Galaxy 10,000 years ago and returned to Earth. He built a timeship which was used by one version of the Atlantis Expedition Team to save the city and the Team when they first set foot on Atlantis. That timeship was destroyed 10,000 years ago in the Pegasus Galaxy, but it is possible that Janus built another timeship and used it in the Milky Way Galaxy since the timeship found on Harry Maybourne's planet looked identical in its design. (8.13 "It's Good To Be King", ''Stargate Atlantis'': 1.15 "Before I Sleep")
* [[Merlin]] - He was one of the Ancients who returned to Earth 10,000 years ago from the Pegasus Galaxy and built the underground caverns of Avalon in the Glastonbury Tor to store Ancient writings and technology. The writings, in the form of a storybook, revealed the name of the Ancients as the Altera when they left their home galaxy millions of years ago. The technology was used by Daniel Jackson to discover the existence of the Ancient's ascended rivals, the Ori. (9.02 "Avalon Part 2", 9.03 "Origin Part 3")
* [[Oma Desala]] - Her name means ''Mother Nature'' and she chose to help humans ascend through her teachings of worthiness. She helped Daniel Jackson ascend and gave him a second chance at ascension about two years after his return to human form. Oma helped the Goa'uld Anubis ascend and The Others punished her by forcing her to watch Anubis wreak havoc and destruction throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. The Others wished for her to take responsibility for helping to ascend an evil being such as Anubis, but she chose to try to make up for it by continuing to help "those beneath" whom she felt were worthy to ascend. Finally, Oma realized what she had to do and engaged herself in an eternal struggle against Anubis to occupy him and prevent him from destroying all life in the Milky Way Galaxy as part of his "grand design." (3.20 "Maternal Instinct", 5.21 "Meridian", 8.18 "Threads")
* [[Orlin]] - As one of the Ascended Ancients, he shared his knowledge with the people of Velona and they built a powerful weapon which they used to destroy the Goa'uld who was attacking their world. After that, the Velonans decided to use the weapon on other planets. At that point, The Others destroyed Velona and the weapon was rendered inoperable. Orlin was banished to the planet as punishment for his interference. He stayed alone there for about 400 years until he returned to Earth with SG-1. He made amends with The Others by sacrificing his newly-taken human form to prevent the SGC from powering up the weapon and he was accepted back into the collective by being permitted to ascend once more. Orlin retook human form for a second time in order to help humanity stop the Ori from gaining more power in the ascended planes, something which could result in cosmic chaos. (5.03 "Ascension", 9.10 "The Fourth Horseman Part 1")

==Alliances==

* [[Asgard]], [[Furlings]], [[Nox]] - At one point, the Ancients were joined in an alliance comprised of these four great races. This alliance was formed a very long time ago, but now it no longer exists. (1.11 "The Torment Of Tantalus", 2.16 "The Fifth Race")
* [[The Others]] - Those Ancients who learned how to ascend joined a collective of other Ascended Beings to establish rules of how they interact with the corporeal plane. It was recently revealed that The Others are not all ascended Ancients. (5.03 "Ascension", 6.06 "Abyss", 6.22 "Full Circle", 7.20 "Inauguration", 8.03 "Lockdown", 8.16 "Threads")

==Enemies==

* Within the Milky Way Galaxy itself, there are no known enemies of the Ancients, but they did build powerful weapons long ago which must have been needed to defend against some other great military power.
* [[Ori]] - The Ascended Beings known as the Ori are philosophical rivals of The Others who are the ascended Ancients (aka the Altera). The Alterans kept the existence of humanity in the Milky Way Galaxy a secret from the Ori, who live in the Alteran's home galaxy, as a form of protection because the Ori will destroy all those who reject them as their creators and gods. The Ori gain more power in the ascended planes through the surrender of man's free will. Unfortunately, humanity's existence in the Milky Way Galaxy has been revealed, ironically through the use of the very technology left behind by the Alterans, and the inevitable war avoided all of those millions of years ago has now been ignited in the corporeal plane. (9.02 "Avalon Part 2", 9.03 "Origin Part 3", 9.10 "The Fourth Horseman Part 1")
* [[Wraith]] - In the Pegasus Galaxy, the Ancients were overrun by the Wraith, a race that accidently evolved when they seeded that galaxy with life. (''Stargate Atlantis'')

On the planet P3X-972 (also known as Ernest's Planet and later redesignated PB2-908), Daniel was shown a library room which had the writings of four alien races on its walls. In the center of the room was a device which projected a universal language written with pictoral depictions of the basic elements (of the periodic table). Daniel was so excited by the discovery of this language and database, calling it the "meaning of life stuff," that he was willing to risk being stranded on the planet for an indefinite period of time just to study its contents. He was pursuaded to leave, but the database and all it contained were lost when the building they were in collapsed, sending the Stargate into the ocean. (1.11 "The Torment Of Tantalus")

Daniel recognized the writings of one of the four races from P3X-972 as that which belonged to the Asgard, based on his experiences on Cimmeria with Thor's Hammer (1.10 "Thor's Hammer"). When a probe returned results from the planet P3R-272 which had images of writings which matched those of one of the four races, Daniel suggested that if the race were an ally to the Asgard, then it was possible they'd be helpful in Earth's war against the Goa'uld. Based on this proposal, SG-1 went to the planet and there, Jack inadvertently took a download from a Repository of Knowledge. Jack began to read the inscription in a form of Latin similar to Medieval Latin. He also input several new Stargate addresses into the SGC's dialing computer database (those not on the Abydos Cartouche discovered by Daniel in the episodes, 1.01 "Children Of The Gods Part 1", 1.02 "Children Of The Gods Part 2"). Jack helped Daniel translate more of the inscription which revealed the identity of the race: "We are the Ancients." Based on these clues, Daniel studied the Roman histories and made the assumption that it was the "ancient ones" who actually built the Stargate network: "See, the Romans were the first real road builders. They spoke Latin and they learned to build roads from the gods, known as the Ancient Ones. Roads. Stargates. The Gate builders. What if these Ancients were the alien race who invented the Stargate?" (2.16 "The Fifth Race")

Jack used the Ancient knowledge to build a power supply which would enable the SGC to connect to a Stargate in another galaxy. Using this device, he introduced the SGC to an eight-symbol Stargate address, the "extra" symbol adding a distance calculation to the standard seven-symbol address (six points in space and a point of origin). He dialed the homeworld of the Asgard, Othala in the Ida Galaxy, and the Asgard removed the knowledge of the Ancients from Jack's mind. This meeting with the Asgard, as well as the one with Thor on Cimmeria (2.06 "Thor's Chariot"), helped to solidify Earth's alliance with this highly advanced race. This alliance proved to be extremely beneficial in the saving of many lives in several galaxies. (2.16 "The Fifth Race")

Daniel's theory about the "ancient ones" being the builders of the Stargates, those spoken of in Roman histories who spoke a form of Latin, was proved by the Asgard when Jack met them on Othala. The Asgard said that the Ancients moved from "our region of space long ago." The alliance of four great races was created "millennia ago" and included the Ancients, the Asgard, the Furlings, and the Nox. (2.16 "The Fifth Race")

Several million years ago, the race of humans known as the Altera left their home galaxy because another group of humans of their society, called the Ori, were attempting to kill them. The Altera and Ori were on the evolutionary path toward ascension, the shedding of the physical body to live as a form of energy on a higher plane of existence, and a great philosophical rift concerning ascension developed between them. The Altera took a scientific approach toward ascension while the Ori attached a religious aspect to it, calling it the Path to Enlightenment, because ascension gave one greater knowledge and understanding of the universe. Eventually, the Ori grew so extreme in their beliefs that they sought to wipe out the Altera. Instead of engaging in a war, the Altera fled. They traveled thousands of years before they found a new home in the Milky Way Galaxy. They called their new home "Avalon" and built the Stargate network (they called them "Astria Porta"). The exact time that the Altera, known as the Ancients in this galaxy, left their home galaxy is not yet known, but they could have had a presence in this galaxy as long ago as 50 millions years. This was Carter's estimation of the lifespan of the power crystal technology used in the Dial Home Device (DHD) found with the second Stargate in the Antarctic. This DHD's power ran out not long after it was discovered. Her estimates, however, cannot be used to conclusively state that the Stargate and DHD found in Antarctica were original to that location—they could have been moved there at some later date. (1.18 "Solitudes", 6.04 "Frozen", 9.02 "Avalon Part 2", 9.10 "The Fourth Horseman Part 1")

During their search for the Lost City of the Ancients and after Jack took a second download from the Repository of Knowledge on P3X-439, Jack led SG-1 to a planet called Praclarush Taonas. This planet had been buried in molten lava for at least a million years, according to Carter's estimates. Still, however, the Outpost remained, having been protected by a domed-shaped force field. Jack took the team to the Taonas Outpost to retrieve a Zero Point Module (ZPM), an advanced power source which would be used to activate powerful weapons in the Antarctic Outpost to destroy Anubis' attacking fleet. While sitting in the command chair at the Taonas Outpost, Jack displayed a map which showed the Ancients' domain in the Milky Way Galaxy, and then zoomed in on Earth to indicate the location of Terra Atlantis, the Lost City of the Ancients. The map which Jack projected, however, did not account for 30 million years of continental drift. It was not clear if this age was indicative of how long ago the database at the Taonas Outpost was abandoned or how old the Repository of Knowledge information was which Jack was using. It does hint, however, that Terra Atlantis, the city-ship Atlantis on the planet Terra, might have been located on Earth as long ago as 30 million years. (7.21 "Lost City Part 1", 7.22 "Lost City Part 2")

Also discovered in Antarctica was a frozen woman, Ayiana. She miraculously revived herself after being thawed out by the scientists assigned to study the location where the Antarctic Stargate was found. Based on their preliminary ice core sample readings, the scientists estimated that Ayiana had been frozen in the ice for at least three million years. Ayiana's discovery led them to conclude that she was an Ancient. They were surprised that she was nearly human, but she did possess abilities which humans currently do not have, one being the ability to heal through touch. Whenever Ayiana used this ability, she drained herself until, ultimately, she could not heal herself of the plague which she carried and spread to the SGC personnel at the research facility. Ayiana died at the SGC base. When Jack took the download from the Repository of Knowledge the second time, he carried it longer than he did from his first experience. He demonstrated the ability to heal by touch in the same manner as Ayiana. (6.04 "Frozen", 7.21 "Lost City Part 1", 7.22 "Lost City Part 2")

The plague which killed off many of the Ancients had been speculated about over the course of SG-1's first years of exploration, but wasn't a definite event until Daniel discovered a tablet on Abydos written in one of the oldest dialects of the Ancients' language. This tablet provided some additional information about the Ancients who lived in the Milky Way Galaxy: the Ancients were a race of humans who lived long before us; some of them learned to ascend to a higher plane of existence; those who did not ascend died of the plague. From this tablet, Daniel concluded that the collective of Ascended Beings known as The Others, were the ascended Ancients. (6.22 "Full Circle")

The tablet discovered on Abydos did not tell the story of a third group of Ancients who lived in the Milky Way Galaxy, those who lived in the city-ship known as Atlantis, but it did refer to their Lost City which had powerful weapons. When Daniel did research at the Antarctic Outpost, he estimated that these Ancients left Earth five to ten million years ago. Viewers are given the additional information that Ayiana was present when Atlantis left, watching her people leave from her station at the Antarctic Outpost. Since Ayiana was a carrier of the plague which killed off many of the Ancients, it can be assumed that the plague swept through the galaxy sometime between five and ten millions years ago as well. (''Stargate Atlantis'': 1.01 "Rising Part 1")

Daniel did not know the exact reasons why the Ancients left for the Pegasus Galaxy, but he suggested the following: to escape the plague, to start over, or to seek out new life in a new galaxy. Once the Atlantis Expedition Team entered Atlantis, they started to explore the great city-ship. They discovered a holographic recording made by a female Ancient who explained why they had come to the Pegasus Galaxy: to seed the galaxy with "new life where there appeared to be none." This seeding resulted in the creation of the Wraith, an insect-human hybrid which evolved from a life-sucking bug and the human DNA which the Ancients introduced into the galaxy. (''Stargate Atlantis'': 1.01 "Rising Part 1", 1.02 "Rising Part 2")

The Ancients who lived in the city-ship Atlantis in the Pegasus Galaxy returned to Earth 10,000 years ago. These Ancients were the last survivors of the city-dwellers and left because they were under siege by the Wraith who had grown into a powerful, technologically advanced race. They sank the city-ship in the ocean on the planet Lantia which they used as their homeworld in the Pegasus Galaxy and escaped through the Stargate back to Earth, never to return to Atlantis. (''Stargate Atlantis'': 1.01 "Rising Part 1", 1.15 "Before I Sleep")

===Ancients' Legacy on Earth===

|}
The Ancients influenced the development of Earth both directly and indirectly through the use of their left-over technology.

After the plague swept throughout the Milky Way Galaxy, Jim/Anubis said that the Ancients used the weapon on Dakara to reseed life in the galaxy "some million odd years" ago. He did not elaborate further concerning which group of Ancients used this weapon, if at all (consider that the source of the information was an evil, deceptive, half-ascended Goa'uld). If this weapon was indeed used to reseed the galaxy with new life, then it can be reasonably concluded that the Stargate on Earth was used during that reseeding, since the weapon's energy wave was more effective when used through the Stargate and the human form has been considered to have evolved solely from Earth in this galaxy. (1.03 "The Enemy Within", 8.16 "Reckoning Part 1", 8.17 "Reckoning Part 2", 8.18 "Threads")

The Ancients also did research on ascension which Anubis discovered and used to trick Oma Desala into helping him to ascend when he found her on the planet Kheb (8.18 "Threads"). Oma Desala, whose name means ''Mother Nature'', might have influenced Earth religions and philosophies through her ability to control nature and her teachings concerning the worthiness of the soul of those who sought enlightenment through ascension (akin to Zen Buddhism) (3.20 "Maternal Instinct").

The Ancients who returned to Earth 10,000 years ago from the Pegasus Galaxy probably spread the legend of the Lost City of Atlantis to the Greeks and influenced the Romans with their language and knowledge. Some of these Ancients lived for thousands of years and built the underground caverns of "Avalon" in the Glastonbury Tor in the present-day United Kingdom. One of those Ancients, named Myrddin, influenced the King Arthur legends as the wizard Merlin. It was from a book stored with the treasures of Avalon that Daniel Jackson discovered the story of the Altera and of their finding a new home in the Milky Way Galaxy. These Altera were the progenators of the Ancients. (9.02 "Avalon Part 2"; ''Stargate Atlantis'': 1.01 "Rising Part 1")

Also, those who returned to Earth from the Pegasus Galaxy might be the reason that there are some humans of Earth today who have the Ancient gene which performs as a key to unlock most of the Ancients' technology. They never returned to Atlantis, but some of them most likely left Earth through the Stargate to other planets in the Milky Way Galaxy. (2.16 "The Fifth Race", 8.13 "It's Good To Be King"; ''Stargate Atlantis'': 1.15 "Before I Sleep")

In the thousands of years of Anubis' life (at least 10,000 years, if Ra's lifetime is taken under consideration), there existed an Ancient device discovered by the Goa'uld Telchak which had great healing abilities. Anubis went into battle with Telchak and defeated him, but he never discovered the location of this device which Telchak used to fashion the first sarcophagus. Telchak is thought to have been on Earth during the Mayan civilization (circa 900 B.C.-1000 A.D.) and impersonated Chac, the Mayan god of rain. It is believed that his use of the Telchak Device and the writings describing where the device was hidden (near a waterfall) were what spawned the Fountain of Youth myth. (7.11 "Evolution Part 1", 7.12 "Evolution Part 2")

The Goa'uld's use of Ancient technology, namely the Stargate network, enabled them to enslave humans from Earth all over the galaxy. These Goa'uld, in turn, influenced Earth's development when many of them took on the identities of the ancient gods from Egyptian, Canaanite, Celtic, Chinese, Hindu, Greek, Mayan, and Japanese cultures, among many others.

After discovering an Ancient intergalactic communications device in the treasures of Avalon, Daniel Jackson formed a psychic link with a villager of Ver Ager on the planet thought to be the original home of the Ancients (when they were known as the Altera). What he discovered was that the Alterans who had ascended to become The Others had kept the existence of humanity in the Milky Way Galaxy a secret from the Ori who had also ascended. The Ori have created a religion which dictates that they be worshipped as humanity's creators and gods and promise ascension to the faithful, although they never intend to help their devotees to ascend. If anyone rejects the Ori, the Ori will destroy them. Daniel thought that since the Ori manifest themselves in a wall of fire and fire is the icon of the religion, called Origin, that the Ancients might have influenced Earth's religions to associate fire with demonic aspects as a way to warn humanity of the Ori's evil intent. (9.02 "Avalon Part 2", 9.03 "Origin Part 3")

==Notable Characters==

* [[Ayiana]] - She was left behind when the city-ship Atlantis left Earth from the Antarctic five to ten million years ago. She stayed at the Antarctic Outpost, but somehow ended up near the Stargate and froze there. She was recovered and revived by research scientists, but she died soon thereafter. (6.04 "Frozen")
* [[Janus]] - He was one of the Ancients who left Atlantis in the Pegasus Galaxy 10,000 years ago and returned to Earth. He built a timeship which was used by one version of the Atlantis Expedition Team to save the city and the Team when they first set foot on Atlantis. That timeship was destroyed 10,000 years ago in the Pegasus Galaxy, but it is possible that Janus built another timeship and used it in the Milky Way Galaxy since the timeship found on Harry Maybourne's planet looked identical in its design. (8.13 "It's Good To Be King", ''Stargate Atlantis'': 1.15 "Before I Sleep")
* [[Merlin]] - He was one of the Ancients who returned to Earth 10,000 years ago from the Pegasus Galaxy and built the underground caverns of Avalon in the Glastonbury Tor to store Ancient writings and technology. The writings, in the form of a storybook, revealed the name of the Ancients as the Altera when they left their home galaxy millions of years ago. The technology was used by Daniel Jackson to discover the existence of the Ancient's ascended rivals, the Ori. (9.02 "Avalon Part 2", 9.03 "Origin Part 3")
* [[Oma Desala]] - Her name means ''Mother Nature'' and she chose to help humans ascend through her teachings of worthiness. She helped Daniel Jackson ascend and gave him a second chance at ascension about two years after his return to human form. Oma helped the Goa'uld Anubis ascend and The Others punished her by forcing her to watch Anubis wreak havoc and destruction throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. The Others wished for her to take responsibility for helping to ascend an evil being such as Anubis, but she chose to try to make up for it by continuing to help "those beneath" whom she felt were worthy to ascend. Finally, Oma realized what she had to do and engaged herself in an eternal struggle against Anubis to occupy him and prevent him from destroying all life in the Milky Way Galaxy as part of his "grand design." (3.20 "Maternal Instinct", 5.21 "Meridian", 8.18 "Threads")
* [[Orlin]] - As one of the Ascended Ancients, he shared his knowledge with the people of Velona and they built a powerful weapon which they used to destroy the Goa'uld who was attacking their world. After that, the Velonans decided to use the weapon on other planets. At that point, The Others destroyed Velona and the weapon was rendered inoperable. Orlin was banished to the planet as punishment for his interference. He stayed alone there for about 400 years until he returned to Earth with SG-1. He made amends with The Others by sacrificing his newly-taken human form to prevent the SGC from powering up the weapon and he was accepted back into the collective by being permitted to ascend once more. Orlin retook human form for a second time in order to help humanity stop the Ori from gaining more power in the ascended planes, something which could result in cosmic chaos. (5.03 "Ascension", 9.10 "The Fourth Horseman Part 1")

==Alliances==

* [[Asgard]], [[Furlings]], [[Nox]] - At one point, the Ancients were joined in an alliance comprised of these four great races. This alliance was formed a very long time ago, but now it no longer exists. (1.11 "The Torment Of Tantalus", 2.16 "The Fifth Race")
* [[The Others]] - Those Ancients who learned how to ascend joined a collective of other Ascended Beings to establish rules of how they interact with the corporeal plane. It was recently revealed that The Others are not all ascended Ancients. (5.03 "Ascension", 6.06 "Abyss", 6.22 "Full Circle", 7.20 "Inauguration", 8.03 "Lockdown", 8.16 "Threads")

==Enemies==

* Within the Milky Way Galaxy itself, there are no known enemies of the Ancients, but they did build powerful weapons long ago which must have been needed to defend against some other great military power.
* [[Ori]] - The Ascended Beings known as the Ori are philosophical rivals of The Others who are the ascended Ancients (aka the Altera). The Alterans kept the existence of humanity in the Milky Way Galaxy a secret from the Ori, who live in the Alteran's home galaxy, as a form of protection because the Ori will destroy all those who reject them as their creators and gods. The Ori gain more power in the ascended planes through the surrender of man's free will. Unfortunately, humanity's existence in the Milky Way Galaxy has been revealed, ironically through the use of the very technology left behind by the Alterans, and the inevitable war avoided all of those millions of years ago has now been ignited in the corporeal plane. (9.02 "Avalon Part 2", 9.03 "Origin Part 3", 9.10 "The Fourth Horseman Part 1")
* [[Wraith]] - In the Pegasus Galaxy, the Ancients were overrun by the Wraith, a race that accidently evolved when they seeded that galaxy with life. (''Stargate Atlantis'')

'''TEASER'''

'''EXT—P3X-984—ALPHA SITE—SANDY AREA NEAR STARGATE, DAY'''

[People are shouting, SGC personnel are guarding the Gate and rebel Jaffa are running around chaotically helping Tok'ra refugees coming through the Gate]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Immobilise with a cervical collar and let the symbiote heal the damage.</blockquote>

[Artok, wearing the tattoo of Heru'ur, and another Jaffa are running with a stretcher towards the Gate.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Pressure dressing, stat. Airway's compromised. Corpsman, priority one. Let's move!</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey! Hey!</blockquote>

[Bra'tac holds back Artok]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>OCKER 
We were told we could bring equipment essential to our security.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That wasn't the question. Open it up.</blockquote>

[Ocker opens the box and reveals a Zatarc detector.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
A Zatarc detector.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
See, that's all you had to say. Move out.</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Pierce?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PIERCE 
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>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Where's my father?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PIERCE 
He insisted on disabling the DHD at the Tok'ra base and ordered us to leave.</blockquote>

[Carter and O'Neill look concerned]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
See to your men.</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Is the Gate secure?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
If the Chaapa'ai is soon reactivated, we will have the answer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You're sure about that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
I'm positive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(turning to the SGC personnel) 
Stand down. Help the wounded. 
(to Jacob) 
What happened?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
Anubis's forces overran our position in the Risa system.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
We tried dialling the SGC Gate, but the Gate must have already been active.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Jonas and SG-2 were returning from P36-231 with artefacts they'd gathered.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You dialled the coordinates yourself, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Yeah. I was careful. Nobody saw.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
To whom do I owe thanks for this refuge?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Colonel Jack O'Neill, this is Malek, commander of the Tok'ra base we just evacuated. And Ocker, chief of security.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
Your people were most brave in aiding us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How many made it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>OCKER 
Less than a quarter of our number.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
This is the base of the Tauri. Why are there Jaffa?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Rebel warriors.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
Jaffa who have turned against the Goa'uld. I did not realise their ranks had grown to such a number.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hundreds more are operating as a fifth column among the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Just like you.</blockquote>

[Malek looks sceptical]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Many of these rebel Jaffa had to evacuate their rebel base several months ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OCKER 
I see.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Is that going to be a problem?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
Not for us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(concerned) 
Dad.</blockquote>

'''END TEASER'''

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''EXT—ALPHA SITE—SANDY AREA NEAR STARGATE, DAY'''

[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.]

<blockquote>MALEK 
Arik tre-ac te kek.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(translating quietly for O'Neill) 
We do not surrender, even in death.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Tak mal arik tiak.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You will not be forgotten.</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>OCKER 
(Walking towards Artok) 
Nemeth kree!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey. Hey! What the hell is goin' on? This is a funeral, for cryin' out loud!</blockquote>

<blockquote>ARTOK 
I asked a question of this Tok'ra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OCKER 
No one may speak during the ritual.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
For this, you guys are fighting?! I'm sure he's sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ARTOK 
I am not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
On the inside.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OCKER 
It does not matter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Look, it does not matter. Come on, a lot of people lost their lives. Show a little respect.</blockquote>

[Ocker turns and starts to walk away.]

<blockquote>ARTOK 
They are no different than the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Jaffa.</blockquote>

[Artok walks away angrily]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, break it up! Go on home. There's nothin' to see here. Go on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
There's no need to apologise on their behalf, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Apologise?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
We understand the Jaffa.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
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>

<blockquote>MALEK 
And I need not remind you that the rebel Jaffa and the Tauri are equally indebted to us.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c look surprised.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
How so?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
We have been fighting the Goa'uld for millennia.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah. Just when should we expect some progress on that?</blockquote>

[Malek looks insulted.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's been a bad day. Let's…move on.</blockquote>

[Malek walks away. Carter approaches.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir. Several of the Tok'ra have expressed concern about the temporary quarters they've been assigned.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Explain to them the meaning of the word "temporary". If they don't like it, they can leave.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You really want me to tell them that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes. No. 
(sighs) 
I'll do it.</blockquote>

[Jacob is sitting on a crate watching Jaffa training. O'Neill walks toward him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey. How's the leg?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
It's better. One of the perks of being a Tok'ra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(sitting down beside Jacob) 
If you say so. What was all that crap at the funeral?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
I wouldn't read too much into it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why do you guys have to be so dang…</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Arrogant?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
It's complicated, symbiote and host. The blending of two personalities does sometimes have its drawbacks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Tell me about it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Jack, there's no denying you had a bad experience. But if you hadn't had a symbiote implanted…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah! Please, don't use that term, huh?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
It's a shame a true blending never really occurred. You might be able to understand the Tok'ra a little better.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, I think I understand 'em just fine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
You don't like us much any more, do you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I like you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So it's the host's fault?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No. It's not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Then at least we have that much in common.</blockquote>

'''EXT—SUNRISE—NEXT DAY'''

'''INT—SCIENCE LAB'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
(walking around a naquadah reactor sitting on a table) 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter! I haven't had coffee.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, no one would have noticed it if they didn't know what to look for; the reactor would have overloaded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Any chance this was an accident?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Not a chance.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Would not such an explosion destroy an area several miles in circumference?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, it would.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Who knows about this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Except for the guards I posted, just us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
How long would it have taken for an overload to result in an explosion?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
An hour. Maybe less.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(sighs and takes out his radio) 
Pierce? O'Neill. No one goes within 20 yards of the Gate till I get there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PIERCE 
(into radio) 
Yes, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What are you considering, O'Neill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, if you'd rigged you reactor to blow…wouldn't you want to be offworld before it…blew?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Indeed.</blockquote>

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

'''INT—GATE CONTROL ROOM'''

'''EXT—ALPHA SITE—AREA NEAR STARGATE, DAY'''

[Hammond and Jonas are standing in the Gate control room looking at a monitor with MALP video telemetry of SG-1 on it]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(talking to O'Neill over the MALP radio) 
I could send reinforcements.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Negative, sir. We've got enough people here as it is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Colonel, at least let me rejoin the team. An incoming wormhole from Earth—what risk could there be?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
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>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Understood, Colonel. I'll have SG-3 standing by, just in case.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We'll report back in 24 hours. O'Neill out.</blockquote>

[The Stargate shuts down]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Pierce, I want the guard doubled.</blockquote>

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

[Malek and several other Tok'ra approach]

<blockquote>MALEK 
What is happening?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Uh, looks we're gonna be stuck here for a while.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
It is imperative that we be allowed to seek another location for our base.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, you might want to put that on hold. We have a situation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
There is a saboteur among us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Our naquadah reactor almost went critical. I discovered it just in time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
And if you hadn't?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Then we wouldn't be having this chat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
I see.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This planet was chosen as our Alpha site because its address is unknown to the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And it is imperative that this base remain secret. We will be questioning everybody.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
Of course.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Starting with the Tok'ra.</blockquote>

[The Tok'ra look disturbed]

<blockquote>MALEK 
For what reason?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Everything was fine until you showed up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
If what you say is true, we would have perished with you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It'd only take one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
Selmak?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SELMAK 
We have no choice. The Zatarc detector will reveal any lie or deception.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, but a spy within either the Jaffa or Tok'ra ranks wouldn't necessarily have to be a Zatarc to attempt this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SELMAK 
Any deception will be detected, whether we are dealing with a Zatarc or not.</blockquote>

'''INT—INTERROGATION ROOM'''

[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]

<blockquote>MALEK 
That is when I requested to leave and you informed me of the sabotage.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Do you know why the Tok'ra base fell?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
Exactly how Anubis was able to defeat our defence system remains a mystery.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Okay, we're done.</blockquote>

[Malek stands and Jacob removes the small device from his temple]

<blockquote>MALEK 
Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No. Thank you.</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(turning to look at Jacob) 
Okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
And the Jaffa.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Bra'tac?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
I had hoped it would not come to that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Look, if the Jaffa won't submit to the screening after the Tok'ra already have, we're just askin' for trouble.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
The very purpose of this device questions one's honour.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Or you could say it confirms one's honour.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
It is also of Tok'ra design.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, come on!</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No. Not entirely. But enough to allow myself to be screened along with everybody else.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
(bowing his head slightly) 
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>

[O'Neill, Bra'tac and Jacob hear shouting coming from outside the building]

<blockquote>MALEK 
Colonel O'Neill!</blockquote>

'''EXT—COMPOUND, DAY'''

[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.]

[Fraiser and Carter are inspecting Ocker's dead body. Artok is led to Ocker's dead body by two Tok'ra]

<blockquote>MALEK 
You killed Ocker.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ARTOK 
I would have, if he'd challenged me again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
Are you not responsible for this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ARTOK 
I only wish I was.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Answer him directly.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ARTOK 
I will not explain myself to him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Then explain it to me.</blockquote>

[Artok and Malek look at each other aggressively]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Please.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ARTOK 
I was across the compound.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
I insist that he be screened immediately.</blockquote>

[The tension between Tok'ra and Jaffa is visibly mounting]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[An SG guard and a Tok'ra approach Artok, who turns around defiantly.]

<blockquote>ARTOK 
I will not! I will not!</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter, I want you in there.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Fraiser who sits by Ocker's body) 
I need to know the cause of death.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I'll get on it, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(turning around to face Bra'tac and Jacob) 
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>

[Bra'tac and Jacob both nod in agreement]

'''INT—INTERROGATION ROOM'''

[Artok is sitting in front of the Zatarc detector and Jacob is asking questions while O'Neill, Teal'c, Malek and some guards are standing by.]

<blockquote>ARTOK 
I was alone outside the compound, eating my ration in private.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Do you know who killed Ocker?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ARTOK 
No.</blockquote>

[The monitor on the Zatarc detector remains blue.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
Did you kill him?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ARTOK 
No, I did not kill him.</blockquote>

[The monitor on the Zatarc detector now turns red, indicating a lie or deception.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
We're finished.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Holding cell.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SG GUARD 
Yes, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ARTOK 
Master Bra'tac, I did not kill him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Go with them. 
(removing the device on Artok's temple) 
Do not attempt escape.</blockquote>

[Artok is taken to a holding cell by SG guards]

<blockquote>MALEK 
Deception. He is guilty.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All we know is that he is lying about something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
What more proof do you need?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This device is not infallible. It can give false positives. We've seen it before.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
A short while ago, you were all willing to stake the security of the base on it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Artok's obvious hostility towards the Tok'ra could be throwing off the readings.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
His hostility is the reason Ocker is dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What if we verify his alibi?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel's right. Maybe someone saw him where he said he was.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>MALEK 
I will not accept the word of a Jaffa in his defence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Of course you won't. So, why don't we see what the autopsy says?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Because we don't convict people just because some damn light turns red!</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
How long will the autopsy take?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's hard to say.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
The report may offer tangible evidence proving or disproving his guilt.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Look, he's not goin' anywhere. You've got my word.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
And mine as well.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
(apparently having some sort of internal struggle) 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm sure it is.</blockquote>

'''INT—AUTOPSY ROOM'''

[Teal'c, Bra'tac, Carter, O'Neill and Malek stand listening to Fraiser]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
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>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Death would have been instantaneous.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
No Jaffa did this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How do you know?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Jaffa do not kill in this fashion.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
Are you suggesting that a Jaffa could not be trained to do this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
I am telling you that a Jaffa would not. Vengeance is exacted face to face, not from behind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
Face to face, a Jaffa may not survive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is a Tok'ra or a Goa'uld who has committed this act.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
I disagree.</blockquote>

[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.]

'''EXT—CELLBLOCK, DAY'''

'''INT—HOLDING CELL'''

[Fraiser and Carter are examining Artok's body]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
This is different. This was a frontal attack. The only similar thing is that it was done by a bladed weapon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The same one?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Could be. Won't know for sure until I inspect the trauma to the internal organs.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Was the door locked, Sergeant?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Did you hear anything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SERGEANT 
No, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
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>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It was a frontal attack. So why are there no defensive wounds?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He'd have to be standing in front of the bars.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
A Jaffa would never expose himself to such a vulnerable position.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
Unless he knew his killer…and did not fear him.</blockquote>

'''EXT—AREA NEAR STARGATE, DAY'''

[Artok's body is carried outside on a stretcher by two SGC guards.]

<blockquote>RAK'NOR 
Artok is dead! Only yesterday he helped to carry your wounded, and then you killed him!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Now is not the time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RAK'NOR 
You know the truth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I do not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
A Tok'ra did not kill him. Of this I am certain. 
(looking at the blade on Rak'nors belt) 
You carry a blade on your belt.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RAK'NOR 
To defend myself, when the Tok'ra finally come for me.</blockquote>

[Malek starts to walk past Rak'nor.]

<blockquote>RAK'NOR 
(grabbing Malek's left arm) 
He was defenceless!</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
Malek!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Somebody wanna…tell me what's goin' on here?</blockquote>

[No one answers; instead Jaffa and Tok'ra glare aggressively at each other with weapons ready]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Anybody? Why don't we put the weapons…down?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Teal'c! O'Neill!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Should we go check this out, let these folks talk among themselves?</blockquote>

[Teal'c and O'Neill turn and walk to meet Bra'tac who is standing a short distance away]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Footprints. Recently made, and alone. Whoever did this fled quickly in that direction.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
The footprints…Jaffa or Tok'ra?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
They could be either one.</blockquote>

[The rows of Tok'ra and Jaffa slowly put their weapons back down.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, let's do a head count.</blockquote>

[Everyone in the compound has gathered on a small hill some distance away from the Stargate]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
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>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
We will search in groups of three, a Tok'ra, Jaffa and Tauri in each.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
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>

'''EXT—WOODS AROUND COMPOUND, DAY'''

[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.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(into radio) 
O'Neill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(stops his team and speaks into radio) 
Go ahead, Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We have located Captain Grier's search team. They are dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Any tracks?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Each team member appears to have been killed separately and dragged to this location.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay. What's your position?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
East of the creek near the base of the north cliff.</blockquote>

[Near O'Neill, a twig snaps and branches are moved by an invisible Ashrak]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Stand by, I got something here.</blockquote>

[Teal'c, O'Neill and Bra'tac look at each other, pondering their next course of action]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(into his radio) 
Carter, hook up with Teal'c at his position. Secure the area.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(into her radio) 
Yes, sir.</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Shhh! What happened?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
I could not defend against it. I had no choice.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where's Bra'tac?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
He is dead.</blockquote>

[Suddenly Malek is lying on the ground with Teal'c's hands around his throat.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Tell me why I should not kill you here, Tok'ra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
(speaking with an effort) 
He was swept away. There was nothing I could have done.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You could have pursued him! Master Bra'tac could have been saved.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
I believed it more important to report what I saw.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RAK'NOR 
How can we ever trust the Tok'ra if they would abandon a Jaffa in the midst of a battle?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
(speaking with a muffled voice) 
If I had not, I would be dead.</blockquote>

[O'Neill waves away a fly.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
Jack. A little help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(without much conviction) 
Teal'c. Stop.</blockquote>

[Malek makes choking sounds. Jacob looks at O'Neill, who is obviously not feeling like stepping in, and walks to Teal'c]

<blockquote>JACOB 
Teal'c, don't do this. Bra'tac would want us to stick together.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(sighs) 
He's right, Teal'c.</blockquote>

[Teal'c looks at O'Neill and after a pause releases Malek, who then gasps for air and starts to cough.]

<blockquote>MALEK 
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>

<blockquote>RAK'NOR 
Invisible?</blockquote>

[Jacob helps Malek up]

<blockquote>CARTER 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That woman continues to get on my nerves.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
I doubt Nirrti would be in league with Anubis. She's a renegade.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, whoever it is, we're dealing with an enemy we can't see. Without TERs to counter that technology, we're helpless.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
Do you have the means to generate a high-frequency electromagnetic field?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I could modify the wave output of the naquadah reactor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
Within a range of 400 to 700 nanometres?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(excited) 
That might just excite the phase particles enough to bring them into our visible light spectrum.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, the invisibility field must operate…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Are you about to tell me that you can make the invisible guy vi…?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's all I need.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
If you can see it, you can shoot it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
I will assist you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Fine. Let's move out.</blockquote>

[Teal'c looks at Malek in an extremely unfriendly way]

'''EXT—AREA NEAR STARGATE, DAY'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
We need to bring the reactor out in the open.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Do it. I want everybody else guarding the Gate. 
(to all of the Tok'ra, Jaffa and SGC personnel) 
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>

<blockquote>JACOB 
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>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Bra'tac is gone. His death will have been in vain unless we trust each other, and work together to defeat this enemy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Do what you have to do, but that son of a bitch does not get through that Gate.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If this creature is allowed to leave, this base will have to be abandoned.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, I know.</blockquote>

[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.]

'''INT—AUTOPSY ROOM'''

<blockquote>FRAISER 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nirrti's been working out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Not Nirrti, an Ashrak. A highly trained Goa'uld assassin of great strength and power, most likely in the service of Anubis.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Wasn't it an Ashrak who was able to penetrate SGC security and try to kill Major Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Indeed. The Ashrak succeeded in killing Jolinar, to whom Major Carter was host.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That guy wasn't invisible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
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>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Well, if he's that powerful, why didn't he just go on a killing spree?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Divide and conquer.</blockquote>

'''EXT—AREA NEAR STARGATE, DAY'''

[Carter and Malek are working near the Stargate on the naquadah reactor while the rest is keeping watch]

<blockquote>RAK'NOR 
I wish that Bra'tac were here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, I know. Carter? Are you there yet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Almost, sir. The reactor wasn't designed for a sustained output at this frequency range.</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Medics, we've got wounded out here, go to work! 
(to Teal'c) 
You okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PIERCE 
Colonel. I'm sorry, sir. Somehow it got my GDO during the firefight.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What?!</blockquote>

<blockquote>PIERCE 
It was moving in and around us, sir. At least one casualty was hit by friendly fire.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right. Re-establish a perimeter around the Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PIERCE 
I'd like to take a team after it, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Negative. That's what it wants. You hold that Gate, make sure everyone has a clear line of fire. Go.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>MALEK 
We should leave before he attempts another attack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It took a GDO. No one's goin' anywhere.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
Colonel, you saw what he was capable…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, I did. That's why I want all available personnel guarding that Gate. That includes Tok'ra and Jaffa.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
Colonel…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(angrily) 
Go help Carter!</blockquote>

[Malek and Carter continue their work on the reactor]

<blockquote>RAK'NOR 
A true warrior would show himself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Patience, Rak'nor. As Bra'tac would have said, a Jaffa has many senses with which to fight.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Okay, Sam? Malek, how close are we?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
200 nanometres.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
That's still ultraviolet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We need to reach at least 400 to be in visual range.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
If we all perish, there'll be no one left to carry on the fight.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RAK'NOR 
The Jaffa will fight side by side with the Tok'ra. And, if need be, die side by side.</blockquote>

[Teal'c bows his head in agreement]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Malek, what's that read?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
420 nanometres.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, we're there. Powering up 50 per cent.</blockquote>

[Carter activates the reactor which begins to produce an energy field]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ooh! Anybody else feel that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, I like it. It's good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MALEK 
The power setting may not counteract the cloaking device, but increasing it will substantially reduce our ability to sustain the field.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Crank it up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, sir. Powering up 100 per cent.</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to the men guarding the Gate) 
Hold your positions! Carter, are we still in business?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(getting up and running back to the reactor) 
Yes, sir, I just need to bring it back online.</blockquote>

[Malek and Carter go back to work on the reactor]

<blockquote>PIERCE 
(to those guarding the Stargate) 
Watch those gaps!</blockquote>

[O'Neill reloads his P90. The invisible Ashrak again approaches Carter and Malek. He then goes near Teal'c, who senses him coming]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Rak'nor!</blockquote>

[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]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Everybody down!</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>RAK'NOR 
Master Bra'tac!</blockquote>

[Teal'c and Rak'nor run to Bra'tac and support him]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(into his radio) 
Pierce, stand down. We got him.</blockquote>

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

[Carter takes Pierce's GDO from the Ashrak's arm and gives it to O'Neill]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
(to Bra'tac) 
You're very lucky to be alive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not bad.</blockquote>

[Bra'tac nods and smiles]

<blockquote>MALEK 
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>

[Malek reaches out his arm to Bra'tac, who takes it in acknowledgement]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
(taking the weapon of the Ashrak) 
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>

[Bra'tac throws the blade tip first into the sand.]

'''TEASER'''

'''PREVIOUSLY ON STARGATE SG-1'''

[Following scenes are from 5.11 "Desperate Measures"]

<blockquote>CONRAD 
The exits are sealed, Major.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Who are you? What the hell am I doing here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONRAD 
My name is Adrian Conrad. You're here because of me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Maybourne) 
What was the three million dollars for?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
I acquired a piece of merchandise from the Russians and sold it to Zetatron.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
A symbiote.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It would appear Adrian Conrad is in the late stages of an extremely rare disorder known as Burchardt's syndrome. It is a condition that affects the immune system, leaving the body vulnerable to a host of diseases. And, there's no known cure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Except the healing powers of a Goa'uld symbiote.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Conrad) 
Where are you going?</blockquote>

[Conrad's Goa'uld is in control of him.]

<blockquote>CONRAD 
Shoot me and you'll kill the host.</blockquote>

[O'Neill is shot in the back by Simmons.]

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
You want to live, you come with me. Now once you start delivering on your end of our little bargain, I might be able to move you to better accommodations.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONRAD 
You cannot offer anything of equal value to the knowledge I possess.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
I am not so sure about that.</blockquote>

'''FADE OUT'''

'''FADE IN TO CURRENT EPISODE'''

'''EXT—OUTSIDE A MODERN BUILDING, DAY'''

[Carter is leaving a building and walking to her car as a woman approaches her holding a microphone, accompanied by a camerman.]

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
Major Carter, my name's Julia Donovan. I'm with Inside Access. I was wondering if we can have a few minutes of your time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm a little busy right now.</blockquote>

[She puts her briefcase in the back seat of her car.]

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
Actually, your name came up in connection with a story I have been working on. Over the past two years several billion dollars of taxpayers' money has been funneled into a secret government project called 'Prometheus'. In fact, it is so secret, the government appropriated the money without the usual congressional oversight, which I think my viewers might find rather interesting.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm sure they would.</blockquote>

[She gets into her car.]

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
Actually, I thought you might find this particularly interesting.</blockquote>

[She holdes up a small vile with something in it.]

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
It is a metal alloy called Trinium. Supposedly it's being used in connection with 'Prometheus'. I had my experts analyze it. They said it's unlike anything they've ever seen before; at least on this planet. Sure you wouldn't care to comment now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm sure.</blockquote>

[Carter drives away.]

'''END TEASER'''

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''INT—HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
(to Hammond) 
To tell you the truth, sir, I didn't know what to say. She caught me completely off guard.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You did the right thing, Major. Our official policy is to deny everything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Unfortunately, in this case I don't think it's going to be good enough.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Do you believe the sample of Trinium is genuine?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's hard to say for sure, sir, but just the fact that she knew the name indicates we've had a serious breach of security.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The Pentagon has already initiated an investigation. We have tapped Ms. Donovan's phone and e-mail accounts and we're tracking her movements.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Where is she now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
She left Colorado Springs at 0930 this morning. She changed planes in Denver en route to JFK. I am sending Major Davis over from Washington to talk to her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Do we know when this report is scheduled to air?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
In four days.</blockquote>

'''EXT—NEW YORK CITY STREET, NIGHT'''

[A stretch limo turns a corner.]

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
(inside limo, talking on her cell phone) 
No, Tuesday's no good, I've got an interview with the Chinese Ambassador. And then on Wednesday I fly out for the G-8 Summit. I'll call you back. 
(to limo driver) 
Why are we stopping?</blockquote>

[Major Davis enters the limo.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Good evening.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
What is this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Major Paul Davis, United States Air Force.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
If you came to intimidate me out of running my story, it's not going to work. Just the fact that you're here tells me it's too important to let go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Oh, it's more important than you know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
Here comes the national security speech.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
No, no speech. Just a simple fact: you run that story, you endanger people's lives.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
All right, you tell me what 'Prometheus' is and I will reconsider.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
I don't think so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
I'm serious. I have unconfirmed reports that it's some kind of fusion reactor. They are building it out in the desert.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Where'd you hear that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
I'm not ready to reveal my source.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Ms. Donovan, by revealing classified information, your source is violating about 17 federal laws.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
Is that a confirmation?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
It's a warning.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
You should know, Major, I've made arrangements. If anything happens to me, the report gets released.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Have a good evening, Ms. Donovan.</blockquote>

[Davis puts on his hat and exits the limo.]

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN, DAY'''

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

[Davis and Hammond are walking down the corridor and enter Hammond's office.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
She's stubborn, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Do we know where the leak came from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
We're working on it, but so far we've got nothing. It could be anything from a technician working on the project to Senator Kinsey.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How much does she know?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
She thinks ''Prometheus'' is some kind of fusion reactor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Then maybe we don't have a problem.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
She also has a money trail, Sir and the Trinium. If she can get that much, odds are she can get a lot more.</blockquote>

[Hammond picks up his red phone.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This is General Hammond. Get me the President.</blockquote>

'''EXT—NETWORK OFFICES, DAY'''

'''INT—TELEVISION NETWORK OFFICE'''

[Donovan is speaking as she enters and office with a large conference table.]

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
Al, we need to talk about this production schedule. 
(seeing Davis and Carter seated at the table next to Al) 
What the hell is this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MARTELL 
Take it easy, Julia.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
No, if you think you can kill my story by going over my head to my producer, you're wrong.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MARTELL 
Just sit down, please.</blockquote>

[She sits at the table.]

<blockquote>MARTELL 
The head office has decided that for the time being it is in their best interest not to run the story.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
You mean they caved.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
It was a personal request from the President to the chairman of the corporation that owns this network.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
I don't believe this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We're going to need all of the material you have on this story. Tapes, notes, interviews…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
You can't force me to give you anything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Actually we can, but we were just hoping that you'd be willing to cooperate given that your story is dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
You see, that's where you're wrong. All I have to do is make a couple of phone calls to some foreign broadcasters. I'm sure they would be very interested.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
I'd advise against it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MARTELL 
Okay, okay, look, maybe there's a compromise here. Whatever this thing is, I figure it is too big to stay secret forever. Am I right? Eventually, you're going to go public. You let Julia take a camera crew to document 'Prometheus', top to bottom. When the time is right, we get a world exclusive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't think so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MARTELL 
Everyone will sign a Nondisclosure Agreement, including me. The videotape will be the property of the United States Air Force. You'll be in complete control.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
Forget it, they're gonna sit on this thing for 50 years.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MARTELL 
Julia, when the President of the United States kills your story, that's it, game over. You go foreign with this, they could charge you with treason.</blockquote>

[Donovan appears defiant.]

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN COMPLEX, DAY'''

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[SG-1 and Hammond are listening to a briefing by Davis.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Do you think that she would really go through with it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We have no way of knowing. And the fact is, we can't take the chance.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
There's also the question of where she's getting her information. If we kill the story without plugging the leak, there is no guarantee this won't happen all over again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What are you suggesting?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
Once Ms. Donovan left the meeting, her producer agreed to reveal the source in exchange for a tour of the facility.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(seeing O'Neill's incredulity) 
The Pentagon feels this is the best way to contain the situation. Once we've confirmed we have the source, we destroy all videotape and any related materials.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
So, essentially we're just double crossing them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We have no choice.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Without any hard evidence, the only place she'll be able to run the story is in the tabloids.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(emphatically) 
This is an insanely bad idea.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The decision has been made. Major, I want you and Jonas to take care of this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Dismissed.</blockquote>

'''INT—SOMEWHERE IN THE NEVADA DESERT'''

[A small building painted in red and white checks is surrounded by a fence. Two silver SUV's drive up to meet four people standing in front o the fenced building: Carter, Jonas, and two SF's. Donovan and Martell get out of one SUV and approach the team.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Ms. Donovan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
Major.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This is Jonas Quinn. He will be joining us on the tour.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MARTELL 
(looking at the small building) 
I guess a couple billion dollars doesn't buy what it used to.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
You'd be surprised.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Shall we?</blockquote>

[Carter leads them to a door to the building, which she opens to reveal an elevator door. Carter, Jonas, Donovan and Martell enter the elevator.]

'''INT—ELEVATOR AT ''PROMETHEUS'' SITE'''

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
How far down are we going?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Several hundred feet.</blockquote>

'''INT—LARGE UNDERGROUND HANGAR'''

[They exit the elevator.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
This is ''Prometheus'', otherwise known as the X-303.</blockquote>

[They see a very large, grey ship sitting in the hangar.]

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
Hope you brought a lot of tape.</blockquote>

'''INT—INSIDE THE X-303'''

[They are walking down a corridor, now followed by the television station's film crew.]

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
This is a joke. It would take at least 20 Saturn rockets to get this thing off the ground let alone into orbit.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
''Prometheus'' is the third in a series of designs that incorporates both human and alien technology.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MARTELL 
You're saying little green men helped you build this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Actually, they're gray. All the key systems were reverse engineered from a ship that crashed a hundred miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska in 1978. It was only in the last few years that our technology evolved to a point where we could take advantage of what we had.</blockquote>

[Carter gestures for them to enter a room as she and Jonas remain in the corridor.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
(quietly) 
Fairbanks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Better than Roswell.</blockquote>

'''INT—BRIDGE OF THE X-303'''

[There are three command-type chairs and a vertical lighted display.]

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
It doesn't look very alien to me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The controls are all standard design. Some of the key systems use crystal technology rather than wires and chips. The hard part's making them compatible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
(to the film crew) 
All right, let's set up in here. 
(to Carter) 
I'd like to see more.</blockquote>

[They exit the bridge, leaving the film crew behind.]

'''INT—X-303 CORRIDOR'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
The ship will be capable of reaching orbit in under 30 seconds.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
What about G forces?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, if the inertial dampeners and artificial gravity are functioning properly, it shouldn't feel like much more than a ride in a fast elevator.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MARTELL 
How long until this thing is ready to fly?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It'll be a while. A number of the support systems are still being assembled.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

[The film crew is unpacking their cameras and a laptop. Smith takes a zat from the inside of a movie camera. Jones opens an access panel on the ship.]

<blockquote>SF SERGEANT 
What are you doing?</blockquote>

[He starts to approach them. Smith fires on him and on another SF. Jones continues to work on her laptop.]

'''INT—X-303 ENGINE ROOM'''

[Carter ushers Donovan and Martell in from the corridor.]

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
What is this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The engine room.</blockquote>

[They walk around and look through interior windows at the hyperdrive system itself.]

<blockquote>MARTELL 
How fast does it go?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Using sublight engines, the ship can accelerate to 110,000 miles per second. It's over half the speed of light.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Of course it is nowhere near fast enough to achieve interstellar travel. For that, we need the hyperdrive.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

[The crew is dragging away the unconscious SF's as Jones accesses the ship's computer system via her laptop.]

'''INT—X-303 ENGINE ROOM'''

[There is a high-pitched beeping alarm. Carter goes to a console to check on it. The console shows "simulation interrupted… system busy"]

<blockquote>JONAS 
What is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm not sure. The computer was running a series of hyperdrive simulations, but they've been interrupted.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
So?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, there are no other tests scheduled for today. 
(into comm system) 
Engine room to the bridge. Sergeant Gibson, this is Major Carter, come in.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Maybe the comm system isn't finished yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'll go go check it out. Keep an eye on these two.</blockquote>

[She leaves.]

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

[Two crewmen enter with guns, probably taken from the SF's.]

<blockquote>JONES 
I think I got it. We're in business.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SMITH 
(to the other 2 crewmen) 
Go get the others.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 CORRIDOR'''

[The two meet up with Carter.]

<blockquote>REYNOLDS 
Major Carter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Aren't you suppose to be on the bridge?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SANDERSON 
We had a little trouble with the equipment. We're going to need to get another battery from the truck.</blockquote>

[Carter notices something is wrong as Reynolds pulls a gun. She hits and kicks both of them, knocking their guns away. She runs away down the corridor as Smith fires the zat at her. Smith and the others get up to pursue her.]

'''INT—X-303 ENGINE ROOM'''

[Jonas is accessing the ship's systems.]

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
What is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Someone's trying to lock down the ship. I can't stop them, but I think I can slow them down.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 CORRIDOR'''

[The film crew is chasing Carter.]

<blockquote>SANDERSON 
Where is she?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SMITH 
This way.</blockquote>

[Under pursuit, Carter ducks into a storage room and lowers the door closed. The others arrive just as it closes and can't get in.]

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

<blockquote>SMITH 
(via a radio) 
Jones, come in.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONES 
Go ahead.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 CORRIDOR'''

<blockquote>SMITH 
(into radio) 
I need you to seal a room for me, Charlie Charlie 4-1-0-7.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

<blockquote>JONES 
Done.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 CORRIDOR'''

<blockquote>SMITH 
Let's go.</blockquote>

[They leave Carter sealed in the room.]

'''INT—X-303 ENGINE ROOM'''

[Jonas enters a command into the console.]

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

<blockquote>JONES 
(seeing a readout on her screen) 
Full diagnostic? No, no, no.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 ENGINE ROOM'''

[Jonas opens a drawer and removes a crystal from the assembly.]

<blockquote>MARTELL 
What is that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
The control crystal.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 STORAGE ROOM'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
(talking into the ship's intercom) 
This is Major Carter, can anybody hear me?</blockquote>

[She begins to survey the bits of equipment in the room.]

'''INT—X-303 ENGINE ROOM'''

[The film crew rushes into the engine room with weapons drawn.]

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
What the hell's going on?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SANDERSON 
Shut up. 
(gesturing for them to move behind the console) 
Over there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONES 
(via radio) 
Smith, come in.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SMITH 
(into radio) 
Yeah, go ahead.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

<blockquote>JONES 
We've got a problem. The computer's been tied up with a diagnostic program. I need you to shut it down.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 ENGINE ROOM'''

<blockquote>SMITH 
Yeah, we got it.</blockquote>

[Sanderson makes inputs at a console.]

<blockquote>SANDERSON 
(into radio) 
The controls are frozen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONES 
(via radio) 
If you don't close that program, I'm not going to be able to establish a lock down, and we're going to be overrun by security.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MARTELL 
He removed the control crystal.</blockquote>

[Martell takes the control crystal from the overhead bin where Jonas had hidden it.]

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
Al, what are you doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MARTELL 
It must link the computer to the alien systems.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 STORAGE ROOM'''

[Carter is looking through the items in the storage room. She finds a screw driver and removes a cover plate from an electronics box near the door.]

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

[The console shows the diagnostic test ending.]

<blockquote>JONES 
There we go.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 ENGINE ROOM'''

[Sanderson is working at the computer console. Smith walks over to face Donovan, still holding a zat.]

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
What's happening?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
They're activating the hyperdrive generators.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
While we're on the ground? Is that such a good idea?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
No, it's not.</blockquote>

[There is the sounds of engines coming to life.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Unless you're deliberately trying to create an overload.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
I don't understand.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
The hyperdrive generators create an enormous amount of energy, and if it's not channeled into creating a hyperspace window, it can cause some serious problems.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
You mean it could explode.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
With enough force to turn the entire state of Nevada into a smoking crater, yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SMITH 
That's right, but I wouldn't worry about it. As long as our demands are met, it won't come to that.</blockquote>

'''EXT—SURFACE ABOVE SHIP'S BASE, DAY'''

[There is a command center set up with an open-sided tent and equipment. The rear of a large truck opens and many armed soldiers jump out and take up positions around the small red and white building. A silver SUV arrives and O'Neill jumps out and heads toward the command tent. He is wearing civilian clothing and sunglasses.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(yelling) 
Major Davis!</blockquote>

[Davis hears him and leaves the tent to meet him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(yelling) 
What the hell happened?!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Approximately 0900 this morning, the X-303 was put into lock down mode. At 0920, we received a communication from someone inside the ship informing us that they had destabilized the hyperdrive. They're threatening to blow it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't believe it. 
(yelling) 
I do not believe this!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
We are getting energy readings that confirm an overload building in the ship's generator.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(yelling) 
This is supposedly the most secure facility on the face of the planet!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
We think it was the camera crew, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Did anyone bother with a background check?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Yes, Sir and they were clean. They're cameraman was a decorated marine in Somalia. Every member of that crew has been at the network for well over a year, Sir. This plan has obviously been in the works for some time.</blockquote>

[A staff sergeant arrives and waits to get their attention.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to sergeant) 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICAL SERGEANT 
Sir, we're receiving a transmission. It's from the hijackers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Patch it through.</blockquote>

[The enter the command tent.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
(into radio) 
This is Major Davis, go ahead.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

<blockquote>SMITH 
I assume by now you've confirmed the status of the hyperdrive, so you know we're not bluffing.</blockquote>

'''EXT—COMMAND TENT, DAY'''

<blockquote>DAVIS 
What do you want?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SMITH 
You are currently holding two prisoners we want released. Colonel Frank Simmons and Adrian Conrad. You have exactly three hours to deliver them, or we blow up your ship.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 STORAGE ROOM'''

[Carter finishes rigging a radio.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(into radio, over static) 
This is Major Carter, can anyone hear me?</blockquote>

'''EXT—COMMAND TENT, DAY'''

<blockquote>DAVIS 
(into phone) 
Yes Sir, perfectly clear, Sir. We're doing everything we can. Thank you. 
(to O'Neill) 
The Joint Chiefs are calling an emergency meeting.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICAL SERGEANT 
Sir, we are picking up a signal from inside the ship. But it's on a different frequency.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Patch it through.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(via radio) 
Repeat, this is Major Carter, is anyone reading this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(into radio) 
Carter, it's O'Neill. What's your status?</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 STORAGE ROOM'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm locked in a storage room on Deck 7.</blockquote>

'''EXT—COMMAND TENT, DAY'''

[O'Neill gestures for the sergeant to get the plans for the ship.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What happened in there?</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 STORAGE ROOM'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
It was the TV crew; they had a zat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Major, the hijackers are demanding the release of Colonel Simmons and Adrian Conrad. We believe this is a rogue NID operation.</blockquote>

'''EXT—COMMAND TENT, DAY'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter, is there any chance they can get that ship off the ground?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's not finished, Sir. It could lose structural integrity.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Will it fly?</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 STORAGE ROOM'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

'''EXT—COMMAND TENT, DAY'''

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Major Carter, the sublight control relay is right above you on Deck 8. If you can get to it and sever the connection, that will ground them for sure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I found a plasma cutter in here, but it will take me a while to get through the Trinium alloy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
We have less than three hours to deliver the prisoners before they blow the ship.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 STORAGE ROOM'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
Copy that.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 ENGINE ROOM'''

[Donovan and Jonas are sitting on the floor as Martell paces.]

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
Al, why are you doing this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MARTELL 
They're paying me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
We're supposed to be friends.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MARTELL 
They're paying me a lot.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Hey, you know there's only two ways off of this ship, don't you? Handcuffs or a body bag.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SANDERSON 
Who says we want to get off?</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 STORAGE ROOM'''

[Carter puts on a welding helmet and activates the plasma cutter, and begins to try cutting through the door.]

'''EXT—NEVADA DESERT'''

'''INT—A LARGE BLACK VAN'''

[Davis and Simmons are inside the van along with some soldiers.]

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
You know, I hate to say it, Major, but if I had been in charge, none of this would've ever happened. It seems to me you brought me down here to figure out a way to retake the ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
These individuals are threatening to blow up the X-303 unless their demands are met.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
Yeah, what do they want?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
You.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
Me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
They're also demanding we bring them one of your former associates, Adrian Conrad.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
I hardly think of him as an associate. He's a Goa'uld, after all.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
You helped him escaped when we had him trapped.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
I thought it would be best if we kept him in our custody.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Sure you did. The two of you made some kind of deal didn't you? We know what the Goa'uld wants from you Colonel. He wants to escape. What we don't know is what he offered you in return.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be able to help you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Colonel, you either give me what I need and we make arrangements, or we make a U-turn and I take you right back to your box.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
It seems to me that you're in a bit of a bind now aren't you? Fortunately for you I am willing to board the X-303 in the interest of saving lives. Of course I'm going to need a change of clothes. Something nice.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 ENGINE ROOM'''

[Smith enters.]

<blockquote>SMITH 
The delivery is on its way. We're moving to Phase Two now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SANDERSON 
We've got a problem. Somebody recalibrated the ignition module. The settings we have are all wrong.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Don't look at me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SANDERSON 
We need the new settings. If we're off by as much as 1%, the engines won't start and the module will burn out. We'll be stuck.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SMITH 
(to Jonas) 
Give me those settings now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I don't know what you're talking about.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SMITH 
(taking a gun from Reynolds and pointing it at Jonas) 
I'm not fooling around here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MARTELL 
(stepping in front of Smith) 
Whoa, whoa, whoa. What the hell are you doing? This wasn't part of the plan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SMITH 
I'm improvising.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MARTELL 
I was told no one would get hurt, that was the deal. So, quit waving that gun around.</blockquote>

[Smith shoots Martell twice in the abdomen, killing him.]

<blockquote>SMITH 
(to Jonas) 
Now, where were we?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
All right.</blockquote>

[Jonas gets up and moves to a console.]

<blockquote>SMITH 
No mistakes. If those engines don't start, both of you die.</blockquote>

'''EXT—SURFACE ABOVE SHIP, DAY'''

[Teal'c arrives and approaches the command tent.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Adrian Conrad has arrived.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Did he say anything to you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He was uncharacteristically silent for a Goa'uld. Have we received word from Major Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, not yet.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 STORAGE ROOM'''

[Carter is making slow progress with the cutting torch.]

<blockquote>SERGEANT 
Sir, we're approaching deadline.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Radio the hijackers. We're sending in the prisoners.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 STORAGE ROOM'''

[Carter is still working with the cutting torch.]

'''INT—X-303 ENGINE ROOM'''

<blockquote>JONAS 
There, it's done.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SANDERSON 
Sublight engines are on line.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
This doesn't change anything. Even if you get this ship off the ground, they are going to track you wherever you go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SMITH 
You're forgetting about the hyperdrive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, the hyperdrive is far from operational and that is something that I cannot help you with.</blockquote>

[Adrian Conrad enters.]

<blockquote>CONRAD 
(in the voice of his Goa'uld) 
Perhaps not, but I can.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

[Simmons enters.]

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
Are we set?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONES 
All systems are go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
Then release the docking clamps.</blockquote>

[She moves to comply as he sits in a command chair.]

'''INT—HANGAR BAY'''

[Huge docking clamps release from the sides of the ship.]

'''EXT—COMMAND TENT, DAY'''

<blockquote>TECHNICAL SERGEANT 
Major, they're preparing to take off.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
She is running out of time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Major Carter may still succeed in disabling the ship once they reach orbit.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Teal'c, Deck Seven isn't pressurized. The airlock in that section is still under construction. By the time they reach orbit, she'll be dead.</blockquote>

[Teal'c and O'Neill look concerned.]

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
(into radio) 
Major Davis, this is Colonel Simmons. We'd like to leave now. Would you be so kind as to retract the roof?</blockquote>

'''EXT—COMMAND TENT, DAY'''

<blockquote>DAVIS 
(into radio) 
Colonel, you're going to have to wait a couple of minutes. We're having problems with the hydraulics.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
Nice try, Davis. You have 30 seconds or we're going to detonate the hyperdrive.</blockquote>

They're entering low earth orbit.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Now what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Does the ship not possess a docking bay capable of receiving the X-302?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
We don't have any ready to fly.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Teal'c) 
We've got the death glider from Anubus.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c begin to jog away.]

<blockquote>DAVIS

[The X-303 is in orbit about Earth.]

'''INT—X-303 STORAGE ROOM'''

[Jonas, Donovan, and the SF's are being held in a different storage room.]

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
So that guy with the weird voice, he was an alien, wasn't he? You might as well tell me. We're probably not going to survive this anyway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
We've been in tighter spots.</blockquote>

[The door opens and Simmons and Reynolds enter. Everyone stands.]

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
Ms. Donovan, I-I-I just had to come down here and say hello. I'm a big fan of your work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
Terrific.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
And you, Sir, you must be Jonas Quinn, our new alien friend.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
You're an alien, too? I don't believe this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Where are you taking the ship?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
Oh, well, you don't worry about that, all right? You just sit tight and you'll be released when everything's over.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Do you really think it's wise to be working with a Goa'uld?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
He's fixing the hyperdrive. It's in his best interest. We'll deal with him later.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah. What about Major Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
Major Carter. Major Carter should've stayed with the group. But she wanted to play the hero and she got herself killed.</blockquote>

[Simmons exits, shutting the door.]

'''INT—VERTICAL ACCESS TUBE'''

[Carter is climbing a ladder. She comes to a horizontal access tube and enters it, moving on hands and knees then stopping and removing an access panel.]

'''INT—X-303 ENGINE ROOM'''

<blockquote>CONRAD

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
Are we gonna get into hyperdrive anytime soon here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONRAD 
I'm working on it. The design is incredibly crude. It amazes me that a race as backward as yours would even think of attempting interstellar travel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
Spare me the supervillain riff. We're on the clock, here.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 CORRIDOR'''

[Sanderson is walking down the corridor. Carter comes out from hiding and hits him. Smith and Reynolds come around the corner and point their weapons at her.]

<blockquote>SMITH

[O'Neill and Teal'c get up to leave and walk over the Carter, who is guarding the entrance.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter, keep an eye on the bridge.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(in warning) 
Simmons.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, I know.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 CORRIDOR'''

[O'Neill and Teal'c are moving down the corridor. Simmons hits Teal'c from behind then goes after O'Neill and they exchange blows. Simmons' eyes glow indicating Conrad's Goa'uld is now inside him. Simmons stuns O'Neill. Teal'c gets up and begins fighting Simmons. Simmons grabs a large wrench and holds it over Teal'c.]

<blockquote>SIMMONS 
I'm going to savor this moment.</blockquote>

'''EXT—SPACE'''

[The ship exits hyperspace.]

'''INT—X-303 CORRIDOR'''

[The ship vibrates and O'Neill hits Simmons. Then he goes to a control panel and opens an external door just behind Simmons. Simmons is sucked out, and O'Neill grabs Teal'c to prevent him from following. O'Neill shuts the door, helps Teal'c up, and pats him on the chest before they move away.]

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

[The hostages, SG-1, and Jones are on the bridge.]

<blockquote>JONES 
Where's the rest of my team?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Just never you mind about the rest of your team.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, I have no idea where we are.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONES 
There should be a planet here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What planet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONES 
Back when Colonel Maybourne was running our off world op, we found a tablet written in the language of the Ancients. It described a large cache of weapons and technology hidden in a secret location. Colonel Simmons wanted it bad. Only problem was we couldn't translate the coordinates.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Therefore Colonel Simmons enlisted the aid of the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONES 
After that, it was just a matter of waiting until we could get transportation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay, let's go home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, Sir, it's possible when the hyperdrive was brought on line, no one fully accounted for the instability of the naquadria.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, who does?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, what I'm saying is if I don't know where we are, I can't plot a course for home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DONOVAN 
So, what do we do now?</blockquote>

'''EXT—SPACE'''

[The ship is moving slowly through normal space.]

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

[Jonas arrives from a corridor.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Gibson and Finney are checking the food supply, but it doesn't look very good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, based on the amount of time we spent in hyperspace, I'd estimate we are at least 1,200 light years from Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How does that help us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh, it doesn't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(indicating the front view screen) 
Colonel.</blockquote>

[An Asgard ship exits hyperspace right in front of ''Prometheus''.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's the Asgard.</blockquote>

[A hologram of Thor appears; he is sitting in his command chair.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(excited) 
Thor, buddy, nice timing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
It has been some timing, O'Neill. I owe you all a debt of gratitude for rescuing me from my Goa'uld captors.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ahh. Hey, I thought you were going for the new body?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
I did.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's nice.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, how did you find us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
The Asgard monitor all hyperspace activity in the vicinity of Earth. We have been tracking you since you left orbit.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Excellent, can you help us out here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
In fact, it is we who need your help. The Asgard homeworld has been overrun by the Replicators. We have need of both you and your ship.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks surprised and concerned.]

'''TEASER'''

[Scenes from "Shades of Grey" and other episodes featuring MAYBOURNE]

<blockquote>VOICEOVER 
Previously on Stargate SG-1</blockquote>

'''EXT—O'NEILL'S HOUSE'''

[A barbecue is smoking. Someone picks up a hot dog. O'NEILL comes out into the garden and sees there is a hot dog missing. He turns and sees MAYBOURNE who is eating the hot dog.]

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
I helped myself, I hope you don't mind?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You're eating my dog.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
You want it back?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Would you like a beer to wash it down?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Already got one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What are you doing here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
I can't drop by an old friend's house for a little barbecue?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well there's that little treason thing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Have me arrested. That's why I'm here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
This is gonna be good isn't it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
The current Administration is coming to the end of its second term. I was hoping the President might consider one of those special little pardons they often do when one doesn't care about re election any more.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Really good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
I heard about what happened with Prometheus.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't know what you're talking about.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Oh, nice delivery.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, I gotta work on that a little.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Simmons used the Goa'uld in Adrian Conrad to hijack the X303. He intended to fly them to a planet with a cache of advanced alien weaponry. I was really broken up when I heard Simmons died, by the way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, we all shed a tear.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
What you don't know is the planet Simmons was intending to fly to, has a Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Simmons knew?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Sure. Ultimately it proved easier to grab the X303 than take hold of the SGC just to use the Gate. The NID's known about this planet for a while. I don't have to explain why they didn't tell you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So instead they're hoarding a secret that could save the planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Oh, I'm sure they would have come clean if push came to shove. But the address can be yours right now for what's behind door number one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
A Presidential pardon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
This is the full prize package, Jack. I wanna go with you on this one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You must have had a few before you came over.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Look, I know you've questioned my methods in the past but we've always been fighting for the same thing. I just want to help make the world safe from the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nice delivery.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Well, thanks for the beer. Nothing I like more than a good wiener.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, you are what you eat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Guess I won't be needing this anymore.</blockquote>

[MAYBOURNE drops a piece of paper onto the barbecue.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
The address to the planet with the Ancient weapons.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
For God's sake.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL snatches up the piece of paper and pours his beer on it to put it out.]

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Won't do you much good without me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why not?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Simmons also didn't know that's there's an impenetrable doorway protecting the weapons storage facility. And I have the key.</blockquote>

'''CREDITS'''

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[O'NEILL, CARTER, TEAL'C and JONAS are sitting around the briefing table.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Did he say how he came across this key?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You were correct when you said it's doubtful the Pentagon would authorise Colonel Maybourne's presence on an offworld mission.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Should we not at least explore the planet to which he has provided the address?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He did risk his butt just to make the proposition.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Maybe we can get through the door without him? If Maybourne thinks it's worth a pardon, what's on the other side must be good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Do it.</blockquote>

'''EXT—PLANET'''

[A castle or monastery is in the distance on a mountain-top. A huge moon fills the sky. SG-1 are walking through the ruins of the monastery.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Nobody home.</blockquote>

[JONAS videos a wall hanging.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Are you able to translate any of this, Jonas Quinn?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
It's not Ancient but it's definitely a language belonging to one of the races of the Ancient alliance.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nox? Asgard?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Furlings.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh no, not those guys.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh I don't know, I just can't imagine cute little furry things making big powerful weapons, that's all.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I don't even know what they look like.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Furling. Sounds cute and fuzzy to me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
This section says something like "only the righteous may pass."</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This looks like where Maybourne's key would go. I'm getting energy readings. There's a power source in this arch. Here.</blockquote>

[CARTER pulls a panel from the wall to reveal alien technology of some sort.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir? This is definitely something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't know. I don't recognise the technology.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
But can you make it work?</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[O'NEILL comes through the Gate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well General, Maybourne's story checks out so far. There's a doorway there that Carter thinks might be a transporter but she can't get it to work without Maybourne's key.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What do you recommend Colonel?</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC ELEVATOR'''

[MAYBOURNE exits the elevator, handcuffed.]

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Jack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Harry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
I'm trusting you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You turned yourself in. What happens from hereon out is up to you.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL and MAYBOURNE walk into the briefing room.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You can remove the cuffs, Airman.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
General, nice to see you again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Despite your prior transgressions, you've shown a willingness to help us out of some serious situations recently. And that is why the President is willing to proceed in this matter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
You're welcome.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Let's see what you brought.</blockquote>

[MAYBOURNE opens a carrying case and takes out a cloth-wrapped parcel. He unwraps it and reveals an artifact. O'NEILL picks it up.]

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
When do we leave?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I leave right now. We'll let you know how it turns out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Jack. I thought I was pretty clear. I go with you or no deal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Harry, you're under arrest, I've got the stone and I'm walking out that door. You're not in a strong bargaining position.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
The only way this mission will be successful is if I'm on it. That stone is useless without the combination.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How's that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
It was originally found over eighty years ago in a Pharaoh's tomb in Egypt. The stone was wrapped in a scroll with writing on it that no Earth linguist could decipher. I was recently able to get it translated though.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
By whom?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
The scroll contained instructions for how to use the stone to access the power of the Gods. That information exists in one place. Right here. A deal's a deal. You want to go through the door? I'm gonna be the one who opens it.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
There's got to be something more going on here than he'll admit to.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Of that I have no doubt, Sir. But if he's not willing to tell us, we can't force him. Much as I'd like to try.</blockquote>

[MAYBOURNE enters.]

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Now this is more like it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Shall we?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL and MAYBOURNE walk up the ramp. MAYBOURNE stops at the top of the ramp.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
You know the real reason I wanna do this? I've never actually been through this thing before.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Really?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
I ran the off world operation from Earth using a Goa'uld communicator.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nervous?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Me? No. I'm just taking a moment.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Done?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL and MAYBOURNE walk through the Gate.]

'''EXT—PLANET'''

[Same view as previously, but the moon is not out. O'NEILL and MAYBOURNE walk into the ruins.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonels.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Major.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Jonas?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
He finished cataloguing the writing and went to do a wider sweep of the surrounding area with Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
He translated everything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No. He still needs to get some reference from the SGC. Says it'll take a while.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Harry?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL gestures towards the arch. MAYBOURNE goes over and puts the key into a slot in the arch and turns it. Lights appear but nothing happens.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
I'm sure I've got it right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Harry?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
It should have worked.</blockquote>

[CARTER goes over to MAYBOURNE.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Let me take a look.</blockquote>

[MAYBOURNE grabs her Zat and shoots her in the back. CARTER collapses and he shoots at O'NEILL. MAYBOURNE pulls the key off the wall and the doorway opens. O'NEILL gets up groggily.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Harry!</blockquote>

[O'NEILL grabs MAYBOURNE as he goes through the doorway. They both fall through and the doorway closes.]

'''EXT—A FIELD, LOCATION UNKNOWN'''

[O'NEILL falls on top of MAYBOURNE. He grabs him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You rotten, no good for nothing…</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Jack?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You son of a… </blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Jack!</blockquote>

[O'NEILL looks up and sees that they are in a field that seems to be nowhere near their previous location.]

'''EXT—PLANET—RUINED MONASTERY'''

[JONAS and TEAL'C arrive and find CARTER zatted.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Major Carter? What happened?</blockquote>

'''EXT—PLANET'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where the hell are we?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Dammit, Jack, why'd you have to do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where's the Zat?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
I don't know, I don't have it.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL raises his P-90.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
It's not here. I guess it didn't come through with us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why not?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Well, how should I know? Maybe the doorway filters out weapons?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL lifts the P-90.]

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Goa'uld weapons?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Right, you listen to me. I want a straight answer from you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Well since you're here, I might as well just show you.</blockquote>

[MAYBOURNE walks away.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey!</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Come on!</blockquote>

[O'NEILL follows MAYBOURNE.]

'''EXT—MONASTERY RUINS'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm getting nowhere here. Jonas, head back to the SGC, ask General Hammond to send up a UAV. If Colonel O'Neill has activated his tracking device, we should be able to pinpoint his location.</blockquote>

'''EXT—PLANET'''

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
You couldn't just let me go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You shot me!</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Zatted. I'm not going back, you know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Anywhere. To the Stargate or Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What are you talking about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
I don't know, maybe they've got a way to send you back. I don't think anyone's supposed to leave, that's part of the deal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Who are you talking about? What deal?

MAYBOURNE 
The people at the place we're going.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Maybourne, have you completely lost your mind because if you're suffering I'll gladly put you out of your misery.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
It's an alien Utopia. According to the scroll it's supposed to be paradise.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
A long time ago, some people from an advanced alien society, well they chucked it all and they formed this small, isolated Utopian community. They sent out representatives to meet and evaluate people from all over the galaxy and offer them a chance to join them. The scroll and the stone were the invitation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And this has nothing to do with the weapons Simmons was after?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
I just figured it was my only way of getting through the Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You know, Harry, it's not that I can't believe you lied to me again, it's that you lied to me again!</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Oh come on, Jack, no one would have let me through the Gate for this. Would you have even believed me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And you're sure this is all worth it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Couldn't be much worse than where I've been forced to hide out lately. They're closing in on me. It's only a matter of time. Besides, I've got nothing left on Earth anymore. The money I was supposed to get from selling the Russian symbiote to Adrian Conrad was my last shot at making a life on Earth. Do something good and it turned into a disaster.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Of massive proportion.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
I'm tired of running, Jack. Why should I, when I could have a chance of retiring in paradise?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I see trees, Harry. You get that in Colorado.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[SILER is preparing a UAV.]

<blockquote>SILER 
Ready for launch, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Thank you, Sergeant.</blockquote>

[CARTER and TEAL'C come through the wormhole.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Still nothing from Colonel O'Neill and Colonel Maybourne, Sir. They've been gone over two hours now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We're ready to go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, I'd like to apologise.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What for?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This is my fault. I allowed Colonel Maybourne to take my weapon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Major, let's just focus on finding them right now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

'''EXT—PLANET'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You are so lost.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
No, I'm sure this is the right way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How's that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
It's in this valley. What's strange is, there's supposed to be a greeting party.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And you know, that's all that's strange about this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
They're supposed to know when someone uses the doorway. I was expecting some sort of welcome.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Mai-tais? Leis?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Well, something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Cabana boys? I tell you Maybourne, I don't hear any steel drums. How old was that invitation?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL and MAYBOURNE enter what appears to be a deserted village.]

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
There's no one here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I noticed that.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL picks up a circular object. He puts it down and walks to the edge of the village.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Harry?</blockquote>

[MAYBOURNE goes over to O'NEILL. Looking down, there are a number of skeletons lying on the ground.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
This in the brochure?</blockquote>

'''EXT—THE RUINED MONASTERY'''

<blockquote>LEE 
Major, this technology's unlike anything we've come across before.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LEE 
We have no frame of reference, no way to interface.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm working on it, Doctor. As you should be.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LEE 
Right.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C is in Kel'no'reem in the background. Hearing this exchange, he opens his eyes.]

'''EXT—PLANET'''

[O'NEILL and MAYBOURNE are sitting by a lake.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I guess I can see why you'd want to retire here. Given your choices.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Find anything that might be a doorway back?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
You gonna kill me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'll sleep on it.</blockquote>

[The sun sets. As it rises the next morning, O'NEILL is filling up his canteen in a river. He walks back to the village through a field, a forest, and past a waterfall. Back at their camp, MAYBOURNE is breaking up wood.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well I don't think we're walking out of here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
No way of knowing how far we were transported. We could be on the other side of the planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Which is why we survive here until we're rescued.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Until we're rescued. Jack, this place is supposed to be a secret. The doorway was designed to keep it that way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Of course, we have the only key known to man.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
The least you could have done was eat that before you got here.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL is eating an energy bar. He then throws half to MAYBOURNE.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're gonna need food and drinkable water.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
I've been drinking the lake straight up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well that's smart.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
I'm not dead yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's early.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Jack, they're never gonna find us.</blockquote>

'''EXT—THE RUINED MONASTERY'''

[The scientists are packing their gear as CARTER enters.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I covered as much territory as the range of the UAV will allow.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Have you received word from the Tok'ra?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, they responded and said they didn't know when one of their operatives with access to a ship would be able to help us. 
(She notices that the scientists are packing.) 
What are they doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I believe they have completed their analyses.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Excuse me? Where's Colonel O'Neill? I don't see him, do you? Did you guys find him while I was gone?</blockquote>

<blockquote>LEE 
We've been here for a week and I'm not sure, but I'm pretty certain that we could all spend the rest of our natural lives trying to figure out exactly how this thing works. Do you know what? Even if I could snap my fingers and turn it on right now, I'm beginning to doubt whether it would determine where it sent Colonel O'Neill. I'd bet almost anything that the targeting data is in the artefact that Colonel Maybourne used to open that doorway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I say when we're done here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LEE 
With all due respect Major, I will submit my report to General Hammond. If he's prepared to commit to a long term analysis project, I'm happy to come back, with my big suitcase. But until then, if you'll excuse me?</blockquote>

'''EXT—PLANET'''

[O'NEILL is fishing.]

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Anything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Couple of nibbles. They're down there, though.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Sleep okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No. You?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
When we first came here, I thought it was quiet. Now it's like I can't keep the noise out. Insects, animals, I don't know, I keep hearing things.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They're called birds.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
No, no, no, these are weird sounds.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're on an alien planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Yeah. Jack I can't live on this stuff, it tastes like arrugula. I hate arrugula.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Don't eat it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
We have to eat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You know, if you keep standing there yakking away, I'm not gonna catch anything.</blockquote>

[MAYBOURNE throws something into the lake.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What was that?</blockquote>

[MAYBOURNE presses a button on a device he is holding. There is an explosion in the lake. He shrugs and wades into the lake]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That is just wrong on so many levels.</blockquote>

[From the middle of the lake, MAYBOURNE throws a fish towards O'NEILL, almost hitting him.]

'''EXT—O'NEILL'S AND MAYBOURNE'S CAMP'''

<blockquote>
O'NEILL 
Don't ever do that again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
You're saying you don't hear things?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Last night, I swear I heard someone running around out here. Spent an hour wandering around trying to spot him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Animals.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
No tracks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You're losing your mind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
You don't find things a little spooky around here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Made so only by your presence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
yeah well, I'm beginning to wonder if some of the Utopians might still be alive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There's no evidence of that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Well maybe they're here in another way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, now you are getting spooky.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Oh, come on, Jack, you've seen stranger things. Other dimensions, planes of existence. You said it your self, this is an alien planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So what do you want me to do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Give me your nine mil.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Oh come on, you've got the P-90. You sleep with it beside you for God's sake; I just want to be able to protect myself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Forget it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Jack! I want that gun.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Forget it! You don't like it here, deal with it. It's your own damn fault.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
You wouldn't care if I died would you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What are you talking about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Some alien creature comes in and attacks me in the middle of the night, hauls me out while you're sleeping.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You and I are the only ones here. Trust me, the only thing you have to be afraid of around here is me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[MAYBOURNE takes his fish to his tent. Later, O'NEILL leaves his tented area and hides his ammunition in the brush. Meanwhile, someone is watching him.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[CARTER, TEAL'C, JONAS and HAMMOND are in the Briefing Room.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, a satellite capable of pinpointing Colonel O'Neill's tracking device would be able to cover a much greater range. The Tok'ra could retrieve it later by ship when one became available so the actual cost would be minimal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Compared to what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
To not getting the satellite back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What about the cost of the delivery system, never mind the manpower required to get it through the Gate and then reassemble it on the other side?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, I don't think you can place a value on Colonel O'Neill's life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Of course not, but…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
(Over PA system) 
Unscheduled offworld activation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We'll continue this later.</blockquote>

[They go down to the Control Room.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
We're receiving a transmission, audio only.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JOLEN 
(Voice over PA system) 
This is Jolen of the Tok'ra. To whom am I speaking?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
General Hammond. Major Carter, Teal'c and Jonas Quinn are also here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JOLEN 
Major I just received your message regarding the disappearance of Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Do you have a ship capable of scanning the planet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JOLEN 
Yes. In fact I've already taken the opportunity to fly over the planet in question. There were no detectable human life signs.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Are you sure?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JOLEN 
Quite sure. I am very sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Thank you. Hammond out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JOLEN 
Jolen out.</blockquote>

[The Gate shuts down.]

'''EXT—PLANET'''

[O'NEILL wakes up and discovers that his P-90 is gone. He picks up his 9mm and walks outside. Checking on Maybourne's sleeping area, he finds him gone. He then discovers that his cache of ammunition has been stolen. He checks around the camp and sees the round artifact on the table. While chewing some leaves from a local plant, he sits down and opens up the artifact, which seems to be a book or record, containing a map of the area. He makes charcoal by burning some bark and starts marking the positions of the skeletons around the village on the map. As O'NEILL is leaning on the table, looking at the map, he hears a noise. He starts to run rather frantically around the camp holding his gun.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Maybourne!</blockquote>

[O'NEILL wades through the river and finds another village. There are more skeletons. One has a knife in its neck. O'NEILL pulls out the knife and a skeleton of a Goa'uld.]

'''INT—SGC LOCKER ROOM'''

[CARTER is sitting on a bench, clearly distressed. TEAL'C enters.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Major Carter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Teal'c, this is the women's locker room.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It appears there is no one else here but you and you are fully clothed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
True.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C sits down next to CARTER.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Are you all right Major Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm fine, yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Have you given up hope of finding O'Neill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hope? No. I'm starting to think Dr Lee is right. I don't think the doorway is the answer. It's been almost a month Teal'c, if there were a way back. It just, it feels like we just lost Daniel, and I don't know if I can…</blockquote>

[CARTER cries. TEAL'C hugs her.]

'''EXT—PLANET'''

[O'NEILL is walking through the forest and trips a wire. He hears something click and dives for cover as a grenade explodes, throwing him into the undergrowth. A boar with a spiked collar charges at him. He fires two shots at it. MAYBOURNE yells in pain. O'NEILL gets up and sees MAYBOURNE hiding in the undergrowth. He is bleeding from a gunshot wound.]

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
You shot me!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I didn't know you were there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Stay back!</blockquote>

[MAYBOURNE aims the P-90 at O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Put that down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
(Getting up) 
You wanted to kill me from the start.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh screw you Maybourne! I was joking. Look what you did to my leg!</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
I set the trap for the pig.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
With a grenade?</blockquote>

[MAYBOURNE backs off and staggers into the forest.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where are you going? Harry? I found something. Stop eating that plant. It's messing with your head, Harry. Ah, screw you.</blockquote>

'''EXT—PLANET'''

[At their camp, O'NEILL is pulling a large splinter from a wound in his leg.]

'''INT—CARTER'S LAB AT THE SGC'''

[CARTER and TEAL'C are looking at a computer screen as JONAS enters.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
General Hammond says he's considering new SG-1 leaders. You included Major.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We know. Do you have anything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah, yeah, I was finally able to come up with some photos of that artifact Maybourne had his hands on. It's quite old, making the scroll a bit difficult to read and I'm pretty sure that the markings on the stone are just decoration but…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Teal'c, wind back that tape. Stop, there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
That was the first day we were there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't believe it. It wasn't visible after that. I forgot it was even there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The moon. The doorway device doesn't use wormhole technology, it wasn't designed to send you across the galaxy. We thought they'd been sent somewhere else on the planet but they haven't, they've been sent to that moon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
How do you know that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Indicating the key device) 
The big circle is the planet, the little circle is the moon, the line between them is the path of transportation.</blockquote>

'''EXT—THE CAMP'''

[O'NEILL is resting when he hears a noise. He gets up. At the other side of the camp, MAYBOURNE is hiding, his face covered in camouflage paint.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Harry? Harry? It was a Goa'uld. It couldn't bring a weapon through that door so it brought a plant. It's some kind of drug or something. Maybe it was an experiment, maybe it was supposed to get the people to serve him, I don't know but it backfired. These people, they all killed each other because of that plant. You're paranoid, it's messing with your head. I'm not trying to kill you.</blockquote>

[MAYBOURNE shoots at O'NEILL, then throws a grenade. He runs towards where O'NEILL is. He stops when he hears O'NEILL cock his gun behind him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Drop it. Drop it now or I will shoot you.</blockquote>

[MAYBOURNE raises the P-90 to fire. O'NEILL shoots him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm not trying to kill you, Harry. You're losing a lot of blood. If I don't do something right now, you're gonna die.</blockquote>

'''EXT—CAMP'''

[O'NEILL is sitting by the fire as MAYBOURNE starts to come round.]

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Some retirement this turned out to be.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How are you doing?

MAYBOURNE 
My head's a little clearer. How long have I been out?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't know, day or so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
I really screwed up didn't I?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's not your fault. None of the people here could stop themselves.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Right from the beginning. Sorry, Jack, I never should have dragged you into this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, Harry, you've been a very bad boy.</blockquote>

[MAYBOURNE is straining to breathe.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, don't you die on me now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
What difference would it make?</blockquote>

[A Tok'ra ship appears and flies over the camp.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Because we're about to be rescued.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Oh that's nice.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Isn't it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
I can't go back. I'd rather die here than spend the rest of my life in jail.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, um, I've been giving that some thought. I think you've suffered enough. Hell I even got to shoot you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Twice.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I think the Tok'ra should be able to find a nice planet for you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Thanks, Jack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sure, Harry, sure.</blockquote>

'''EXT—CLEARING ON P2X-005'''

[O'Neill approaches Carter, who is fiddling with a telescope and other equipment set up in the clearing.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(singing to himself) 
.…and tell me that you love me.… 
(to Carter) 
Lots of interesting nebulous things going on?</blockquote>

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

[O'Neill looks into the telescope.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't see squat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, you wouldn't, sir, during the day.</blockquote>

[He straightens abruptly.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
When the local sun sets and it gets dark, you can actually see a luminous layer of ionised gas around the dying core expanding.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Fascinating.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You don't care.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, I like gas as much as the next guy.</blockquote>

[He lightly touches her shoulder and walks away, while Carter laughs.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Five hours to darkness, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay.</blockquote>

[He sits down on a rock to tie his boots, and notices something on the ground. It's a badly-creased photograph of a woman.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We've never been to this planet before, have we? "We" meaning humans from Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No sir, why?</blockquote>

[He starts to show her the photo, and is interrupted by Jonas on the radio.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
(over the radio) 
Colonel, Major. You have to see this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay. You'll have to let us know where you are.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(over the radio) 
Right. Ah, head east.</blockquote>

'''EXT—HILL OVERLOOKING A VALLEY'''

[O'Neill and Carter join Jonas, who is looking at the remains of a crashed ship down in the valley.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Incredible, isn't it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That had to hurt.</blockquote>

[They head down to the ship, where Teal'c is already standing.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, what do you got here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am unfamiliar with this type of vessel, O'Neill. It is not Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's not Asgard or Tollan, either.</blockquote>

[Jonas examines writing on the hull, and takes a picture of it.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Some of these markings resemble ancient Celtic.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(calls into the open hatch) 
Hello!
(to the others) 
Looks like there were no survivors.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Actually, there were three of us.</blockquote>

[The members of SG-1 spin around to find two men and a woman standing behind them with weapons drawn.]

'''END TEASER'''

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''EXT—CLEARING NEXT TO A FOREST'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Now what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
You tell me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
We're peaceful explorers, okay? We didn't come here to harm anybody.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Unless otherwise provoked.</blockquote>

[Corso looks at the others, and they all lower their weapons.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
I'm Aden Corso, captain of the ''Seberus''. This is my first officer, Tanis Reynard, and navigator Lyle Pender.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Colonel Jack O'Neill, US Air Force. Teal'c, Major Carter, Jonas Quinn.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We're from a planet called Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PENDER 
Never heard of it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's.…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nice. It's nice.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
I'm sure it is. Sorry for the less than warm welcome, but you kinda snuck up on us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
We didn't hear your ship land.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, you wouldn't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How long have you been here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Too long.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Rough landing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
It's not as bad as it looks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
We were on our way to relieve an off-world mineral extraction team when an asteroid storm blew us right off course.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PENDER 
Fuel line got messed up in the crash and all the reserves leaked out before we knew what was happening.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
You wouldn't happen to have a whole load of extra fuel in your ship, would you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not exactly.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PENDER 
I think the engines are okay, we just don't have enough power in the batteries to fire them up. All we have access to is a few auxiliary systems.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Communications?</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
First thing to get hit in the storm.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Couldn't even get a distress signal off. What's frustrating is that our home planet Hebridan must be close. We could plot a course if you could take three passengers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That might be a problem.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We did not travel to this world by vessel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
We came through the stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Excuse me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Big O? Decent walk that way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
We didn't know what that was.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's a transportation device.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
That explains a few things.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I take it you don't have one where you come from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Not that I know of. Really no ship?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
How does this stargate work exactly?</blockquote>

[We pull back to see two aliens watching them from the woods. One alien moves off.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, basically, each gate has an address based on its home planet's point in space.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
That address is represented by.… (muffled)</blockquote>

'''EXT—CLEARING '''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter, Teal'c.
(to the others) 
Excuse us a moment.</blockquote>

[They step a short distance away.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Any suggestions?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We could offer them sanctuary on Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Or, we could fix their ship. I'm just saying it's possible. If all they need is fuel, then maybe we can find an Earth equivalent. I may be able to recharge their batteries using a naqahdah generator. I'd have to take a look at their technology.</blockquote>

[O'Neill removes his sunglasses and wipes his face with his hand.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And why would we do this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So I can take a look at their technology. They seem to have space flight capabilities beyond our own, and maybe they'd be grateful. Who knows what else they may have to offer?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay. We charge by the hour, no flat rate for these kids.</blockquote>

[They rejoin the group.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The Celts were formidable warriors in their time. Their descendants may make valuable allies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Teal'c) 
You've seen Braveheart too often. 
(to the others) 
But that doesn't mean we're not going to help you folks out. Carter has to have a closer look at your ship. Worse case scenario, you end up on Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Thank you, we'd like to see your world and learn more about the stargate. If you could get our ship going, our first priority would be to get home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Let's take a look.</blockquote>

[Everyone moves off in various directions. O'Neill goes over to Teal'c, who is scanning the forest with a frown.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
T?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I do not know, O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Keep me posted.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Indeed.</blockquote>

'''INT—INSIDE THE SHIP'''

[Corso and Carter climb down a metal stairway and head further into the ship.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What can you tell me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Not as much as my chief engineer could. He's dead. But I'll do my best.</blockquote>

'''EXT—IN THE CLEARING'''

[O'Neill leaves Jonas talking with Reynard and Pender beside the ship, and walks back to Teal'c.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Still?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
There is something out there, O'Neill.</blockquote>

[Reynard suddenly raises her weapon.]

<blockquote>REYNARD 
Move! Move!</blockquote>

[She fires into the forest, just missing an alien.]

<blockquote>REYNARD 
Drop low!</blockquote>

[They all drop down onto their stomachs. A fire fight begins, with Carter leaving the ship to help. O'Neill shoots one of the aliens in the leg, and he cries out and turns to limp away. Pender then shoots him in the back, killing him. The second alien fires at Reynard, wounding her in the arm, and Carter fires back.]

[Inside the ship, Corso levers up an instrument that creates a high-pitched whine. Everyone covers their ears, and the alien screams in pain and runs away. Corso turns the sound off, and exits the ship.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
Are they gone?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PENDER 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c head for the alien, while Carter, Jonas, and Corso go to Reynard.]

[Teal'c turns the alien over.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He is dead, O'Neill.</blockquote>

[Pender has followed them, and lowers his weapon when he hears the alien is dead.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What the hell was that all about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PENDER 
These guys have been hunting us from the moment we crashed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
With your own weapon?</blockquote>

'''EXT—CLEARING IN FRONT OF THE SHIP'''

[O'Neill, Pender, and Teal'c approach the others.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Captain?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Colonel, I'm sorry I didn't warn you about that sooner. It's been so long since they attacked, we started to think we were free and clear.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Who the heck are they?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
We don't know. They've killed five of my crew members since we crashed. Skinned 'em alive and hung 'em up in the trees. Whoever or whatever they are, they're savages.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where are they from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Don't know. There's no civilization on this planet as far as we can tell.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PENDER 
We haven't seen any ships, either.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Now that we know the stargate is a transportation device, they must be coming through that.</blockquote>

[Carter is supporting Reynard, who coughs and then moans.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(to O'Neill) 
Sir, she's in need of medical attention.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, let's all get back to Earth, then.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Colonel, if you can do something to help her, please do it, but I'm staying with my ship. From what you've said, it's still our best chance to get back to our home planet, and I'm not giving it
up to these things, not after that they did to my crew. Besides, defenses should be able to keep them at bay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, that was kind of annoying.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
We should be able to defend this position until your people have chance to fix the ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, Carter, Jonas, get her back to the gate, we'll watch your six. 
(To Corso) 
We'll be back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Thank you.</blockquote>

[We pull back to see the second alien watching as everyone but Corso and Pender leave.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Jonas is at the screen, speaking as Hammond and Carter listen.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Their home planet is called Hebridan. By the sounds of it, their ancestors might have come from somewhere near the Outer Hebrides Islands off the coast of Scotland.</blockquote>

[He goes to sit down.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Based on its position in space, I've determined that it doesn't have a gate. At least, one that we're aware of.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Then how did a society of humans evolve there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's possible the Goa'uld kept a gate there as long as it suited them, and then took it with them when they left.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
The real mystery is how their society managed to advance so far beyond Earth's level of technology.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
These engines are way ahead of anything that we could build. They use liquid nitrogen to fuel an ion propulsion system. Personally, I can't wait to see how they generate enough—</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Your evaluation of these people, Major?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Cautiously optimistic, sir.</blockquote>
[Hammond indicates the pictures of the ''Seberus'' littering the table.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Can you fix it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
If I can recharge their batteries using the Naqahdah generator, and there are no other system problems resulting from the crash, then.…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Take whatever you need.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Thank you, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
And SG-15.</blockquote>

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

'''EXT—EDGE OF THE FOREST'''

[O'Neill, Teal'c, Corso, and Pender are looking at the dead alien. O'Neill pulls back the cloth covering him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Got a name for these guys?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Nothing polite.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What kind of weapons were they using before they got yours?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Don't know. Nobody survived the first attack and ever since then they've been using ours. Must like 'em better.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How many could they have?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Eight or nine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They travel in pairs?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Scouting party. Probably trying to test your fire power.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PENDER 
Which isn't very accurate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I was trying to wound him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Well the one that got away, I'm sure, is reporting to his friends right now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, so you say.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Believe me, Colonel, they come back, they'll come back in force.</blockquote>

[They head back into the clearing, and see Carter and SG-15.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, Hammond sent SG-15 as back-up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PIERCE 
We have the gate covered, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Good. We have an unknown number of armed and apparently hostile aliens in the area.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PIERCE 
We got your back, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, I brought some equipment back to fix the ship, but I'll need help to get it here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Indeed.</blockquote>

[Teal'c, Carter, and Pender go to get the equipment.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Reynard is in a bed with her arm in a sling. She turns her head to see Jonas talking to the guard, then heading over to her.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
How are you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
Hey. Fine. At least they stopped the bleeding. Painkillers aren't bad, either. Should be up and around pretty quick.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
I guess I owe you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Not a bit.</blockquote>

[Awkward pause.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
So, looking forward to seeing anybody when you get back?</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
I hate to sound like a hopeless case, but my parents died when I was young, and I've been serving with Captain Corso since I graduated flight school ten years ago, so.… He and Pender, they're like my family. Especially after all we've been through. So, tell me more about the stargate. How does it work, exactly?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Basically, it uses a dimension outside of our known time and space that we call subspace, and creates a wormhole, which is like a tunnel, between two connecting gates.</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
And how many stargates are there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
There's a lot of them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
And there are other humans out there like us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Oh yeah, yeah. Some primitive, some advanced, some non-humans as you're already aware of; some are good, some are bad, some are very bad, but all in all it is pretty amazing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
Yeah. Sounds like it.</blockquote>

'''INT—INSIDE THE SHIP'''

[Corso is checking the main console while Carter looks on.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
No engine diagnostics. No life support status. We've been running the auxiliary weapons systems directly off the battery, but without a computer we don't know how much power we have left.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, the first thing we need to do is give you a boost so we can get your computer back online. Then we can give you a full diagnostic. Any idea how we can interface our power source with your system?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
I'll show you the engine room.</blockquote>

[They go to the engine room, Corso talking as he goes.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
You know, my form is more telling people what to do: fly this way, fix that, don't crash. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.</blockquote>

[They put everything down, and Corso opens a panel.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
This is the main power coupling.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, this will do the trick. We'll have to jerry-rig something, but it should work.</blockquote>

[She goes to the equipment and takes out what she needs, then begins working.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
Amazing. For a supposedly less advanced human you're pretty comfortable with our technology.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, you're in luck. I have a little more experience with this sort of thing than most people on my planet. Besides, all we're really doing is plugging your ship into my battery.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Whatever you say.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That didn't sound very good, did it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
So, let me get this straight here, Major: you're an officer in your home world's military, you're a scientist, an explorer, and apparently you're a pretty fair mechanic.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And I make a mean soufflé.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Sorry?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh, it's something you eat. It's very difficult to make.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Ah, well, add to that list funny, charming, and beautiful.</blockquote>

[She gives him a look.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. See, rule number one when you're stranded on an alien planet and someone offers to fix your ship, flatter them profusely.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(pointing to a piece of equipment) 
Pass me that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[He passes it to her.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Thank you. And, continue at will.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Colonel O'Neill doesn't trust us, does he?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, trust is something that you have to earn with us. Colonel O'Neill is less concerned with showing distrust.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
So, why are you helping us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, it's the only way you make new friends. Take a chance on someone and hope they don't make you regret it.</blockquote>

'''EXT—EDGE OF THE FOREST'''

[The alien is moving around quietly. He goes to his dead friend, uncovering him and taking something off of his chest.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Don't move.</blockquote>

[The alien turns to see O'Neill standing over him. He starts to say something, when Pender fires at him, and he runs away instead.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey! Take it easy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PENDER 
We can't let it get away.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I was thinking of taking it alive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PENDER 
Why would you do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Because that's how you gain intel on an enemy you know little about!</blockquote>

<blockquote>PENDER 
I know all I need to know, Colonel. Those things get a hold of you or one of your friends, you will, too.</blockquote>

[He goes running after the alien.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Dammit. Teal'c.</blockquote>

[Teal'c chases after Pender.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(over the radio) 
Yes, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We spotted one of the aliens, we're going after it.</blockquote>

'''INT—SHIP'S ENGINE ROOM'''

[The perspective shifts to Carter.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Roger that, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
You're safe here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We're secure inside the ship, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(over the radio) 
O'Neill, out.</blockquote>

[Carter removes her vest and jacket.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Don't get your hopes up; this is as far as I'm going.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
(laughing) 
You know, I've been stuck on this rock with a novice navigator and a grumpy first officer who doesn't like men. But I will attempt to control myself.</blockquote>

[He looks down at Carter's zat gun.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
Mind if I have a look?</blockquote>

[Carter bends down to pick it up.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
It's interesting; it's not like your other one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's a little less lethal. It's not Earth made. One shot stuns, two shots kill.</blockquote>

[She puts the weapon back.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
So, do you have anyone special back home on Earth?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Nothing I'd care to discuss.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
All right, that's a little too interesting for me to let go.</blockquote>

[Carter just looks at him.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
How about you choose a topic?</blockquote>

[She grins and goes back to work.]

'''EXT—INSIDE THE FOREST'''

[Teal'c, O'Neill, and Pender are searching the forest.]

<blockquote>PENDER 
Colonel, we can cover more ground separately. Teal'c gave me one of these, we can stay in contact.</blockquote>

[He shows O'Neill the radio in his hand.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right. Not too far.</blockquote>

[Pender heads off.]

INT—SGC—JONAS' OFFICE

[Jonas is sitting at his desk looking at a picture, as Hammond walks in.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
General.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I was in the area. Is there anything more?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I was just looking for some reference on the name of the ship. There's a slightly different spelling, but basically the same.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Is it significant?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I'm not sure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
At 0625 hours there was a security breach in the main computer system. Someone tried to gain access from a remote terminal in the infirmary.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
You think Reynard tried to hack into it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Do you believe she's capable?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I don't know. It's possible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, I'm on my way to question her about it.</blockquote>

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

[Hammond starts to walk away.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
General?</blockquote>

[Hammond pauses in the doorway, and turns around.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
If you don't mind, I've got another idea.</blockquote>

'''EXT—INSIDE THE FOREST'''

[O'Neill and Teal'c come across the aliens' camp.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
A little home away from home here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If the hunters used the stargate, why set up camp here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's a pretty fair question.</blockquote>

[They start exploring the camp.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You also do not believe the Hebridans' story?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That alien I caught sneaking around was just about to tell me something when Pender shot him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
These appear to have come from the ''Seberus''.</blockquote>

[O'Neill empties what look like the alien version of dog tags out of a bag.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[They hear a weapon firing.]

<blockquote>PENDER 
(over the radio) 
Colonel, I got him.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c leave the camp.]

'''EXT—ANOTHER SPOT IN THE FOREST'''

[Pender is firing as Teal'c and O'Neill come running up. Teal'c stops him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Pender! Pender, I said alive.</blockquote>

[Teal'c moves off to look for the alien.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where is he?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PENDER 
He was right there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You said you had him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PENDER 
I did. I had to have hit him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
T, what have you got?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I believe it is blood, O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PENDER 
Told you.</blockquote>

'''INT—SHIP'S ENGINE ROOM'''

[Carter has crawled under a large piece of equipment.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
There's a connection dislodged back here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
You got it, really?</blockquote>

[The equipment lights up.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
Hah!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Only one way to find out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[Carter goes to the controls and switches them on. The room lights up.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
Unbelievable.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, Captain, how do we boot up the system?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Call me Aden.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay.</blockquote>

[Corso produces a flask of alcohol.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
You know, I've been saving this for a special occasion, we haven't had that many around here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh, no, thanks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Come on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, I can't, really. I'm on duty.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
All right, then I'll have one for both if us. To friendship. And to you, Major.</blockquote>

[He takes a long drink.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
You can call me Sam, that's my first name.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Sam. It's pretty.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Not really. It's short for Samantha.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Even prettier. What does it mean? Samantha?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
My father wanted a boy. What about you, does your name mean anything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
I was named for my Uncle Aden, who died swimming drunk across a river on a dare. And Corso, my family name, means "smells like a dead bird" in Ancient Hebridian. Yeah, we're a real high class family.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, I'm sure they'll be overjoyed to see you again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Probably not.</blockquote>

[Carter turns away, and he continues talking to her back.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
I've been stuck on this planet for a long time now, dreaming about getting off of it, now suddenly I don't want to leave.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, we'll stay in touch.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
I'm sure. You'll want to know about all the things we have that you don't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You don't have to make it sound like that.</blockquote>

[She turns back to face him.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
Like what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't know, cheap.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Like that's not the only reason you're helping us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It isn't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
You know, Sam, I've never met anyone like you before.</blockquote>

[She shakes her head.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Aden.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Right. You should remain professional. Major.</blockquote>

[He leaves.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

[Jonas is giving Reynard a tour, with two security guards walking behind them.]

<blockquote>REYNARD 
This place is amazing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
You holding up okay? Because, we could go back to the infirmary until you're.…</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
I'm fine, thanks.</blockquote>

[They enter Jonas' office. There are gold goblets sitting on his desk.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
And this is where I do my work. Sorry about the clutter.</blockquote>

[He gathers up the goblets.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Just cataloguing some artefacts we found on P4X-131. It's an alpha numeric designation we assign to the different planets we go to.</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
They're beautiful.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Gold. Love this stuff. Tell you something, the galaxy is full of it.</blockquote>

[Jonas walks past Reynard and she snags his arm, spinning him around and kissing him. He drops the goblets.]

<blockquote>REYNARD 
Sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
It's okay, I don't think that any of it is broken.</blockquote>

[He gathers up the goblets and puts them on a shelf.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Just caught me off guard.</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
I thought it was obvious.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
No. What? Huh?</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
How much I wanted to kiss you since we first met.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
That. Oh, right. That kind of obvious.</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
Look, I'm really sorry. If you don't find me attractive.…</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
No, look, hey you're attractive. I just, I don't know, we just met, and you're injured, and the thought never really crossed my mind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
I hope you don't think this is some kind of savior complex. You know, I fall for the guy who saved my life? Because, I thought you were very cute way before I got shot.</blockquote>

[The phone rings.]

<blockquote>REYNARD 
Are you supposed to do something about that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Oh yeah, right, right.</blockquote>

[He goes to answer it.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Jonas. Yes, sure, I'll be right there.</blockquote>

[He hangs up].</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
It was General Hammond. He wants to see me, so if you're going to be okay alone here for a few minutes.…</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
Sure, my two friends are just out in the hall there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
So, we'll talk more later.</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
Okay.</blockquote>

[Jonas leaves. When she's sure he's gone, Reynard steps over to the computer.]

'''INT—INSIDE THE SHIP'''

[Carter is looking at a computer readout.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, let's try a full reboot.</blockquote>

[She presses a button, and the screen goes blank. After a moment, a recording appears.]

<blockquote>MAN 
—transport ''Seberus'' requesting assistance. We have been hit by an asteroid storm and thrown off course. Repeat, this is prison transport ''Seberus'' requesting assistance. Repeat, this is prison transport ''Seberus''—</blockquote>

[She switches off the display and looks for her radio, but doesn't find it.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Crap.</blockquote>

'''EXT—IN THE FOREST'''

[O'Neill is looking for Pender.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(into radio) 
Pender? Pender, this is O'Neill. I told you to stay in visual range. Pender, respond.</blockquote>

'''EXT—ANOTHER SPOT IN THE FOREST'''

[Teal'c stops, listening to noise behind him. He turns suddenly, and holds his staff weapon on the surprised alien. O'Neill comes up behind the alien.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, let's not lose our heads here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARRICK 
I mean you no harm.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You're pointing that thing at my friend's head.</blockquote>

[The alien slowly lowers his weapon.]

<blockquote>WARRICK 
Please, don't shoot me. Whatever you've been told, it is a lie.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Is that true?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARRICK 
I am Warrick. I am the Captain of the ''Seberus''.</blockquote>

'''INT—INSIDE THE SHIP'''

[Carter comes up behind Corso, holding a zat on him.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hands where I can see them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Sam.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Call me Major.</blockquote>

[He turns around to face her.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
Sam.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hands where I can see them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
It's not what you think.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What do I think?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Actually, I don't know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This ship is a prison transport.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Yeah, that's right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sit down. Tie up your legs.</blockquote>

[He does.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
I'm sorry that I lied to you but I just couldn't tell you the truth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why not?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Because I'm the reason we're here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't understand. Hands behind your back.</blockquote>

[She ties up his hands.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
I allowed the prisoners to gain control of the ship. When the storm hit us, the life support went out in the cells. They were gonna die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The prisoners.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Those aliens, they didn't come through the stargate, they came here with us. They were our prisoners. Prisoners of war.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Your planet's at war with them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
I let them go. We crashed before they could kill us all. It's the honest to goodness truth, Sam. I was just too embarrassed to say that I let that happen. We might have weathered that storm if I'd have let them die. You have to believe me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Where's my radio?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Sam.</blockquote>

[She leaves.]

'''EXT—IN THE FOREST'''

[Warrick is talking, while O'Neill and Teal'c have weapons trained on him.]

<blockquote>WARRICK 
Please, hear my side of the story before you kill me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're not gonna kill you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARRICK 
You shot my first officer.</blockquote>

[They lower their weapons.}

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I was just trying to wound him. And as I recall, you started things.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARRICK 
We thought we had no choice. We had to stop them from enlisting your help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
And who are they, according to you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARRICK 
Escaped prisoners. The ''Seberus'' was a prison transport vessel. Three years ago, my crew and I were transporting Aden Corso and two of his accomplices to a prison colony. We hit an asteroid storm and began to lose power. Our only hope of survival was to set down on this planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And then?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARRICK 
We had no choice but to take them out of transport stasis. The ship had insufficient power to sustain their lives.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How many were there.… of you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARRICK 
My crew was eight, including myself. We watched them in shifts. My first officer and I were looking for food and water when they overpowered the men guarding them and killed them in cold blood. Corso then took over the ship and used its defenses against us. We tried many times to retake the ''Seberus'', but recently we were just lucky to stay alive. They hunted us like wild animals. You must believe me. They are the worst that Hebridan has to offer. No matter what, they must not be allowed to go free.</blockquote>

[O'Neill pulls out the photo he found earlier.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Who's that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARRICK 
My wife.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Your wife?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARRICK 
Athea. My kind, the Serrakin, helped liberate the Hebridan from the Goa'uld thousands of years ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It was your people that brought them advanced technology.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARRICK 
Since then, we have lived in harmony. With few exceptions.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(over the radio) 
Colonel, this is Carter, come in.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(over the radio) 
Sir, I've got everything under control, but we need to talk. In person.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Tell me about it. Stay put, we're on our way.</blockquote>

'''EXT—OUTSIDE THE SHIP'''

[We switch to Carter's viewpoint.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Carter out.</blockquote>

[Pender comes up behind Carter and knocks her out.]

<blockquote>PENDER 
My thoughts exactly.</blockquote>

[He takes her zat.]

'''EXT—THE STARGATE'''

[The gate activates.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(over the radio) 
Major Pierce, this is General Hammond.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PIERCE 
Read you loud and clear, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(over the radio) 
I want you to hold your fire. Jonas Quinn and a guest are en route.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PIERCE 
Roger that.</blockquote>

[Jonas and Reynard come through the gate.]

<blockquote>PIERCE 
Colonel O'Neill, come in, sir. Jonas and Reynard have arrived back from Earth.</blockquote>

[There is no reply.]

<blockquote>PIERCE 
Must be out of range.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
We'll see him at the ship.</blockquote>

[He and Reynard walk past.]

'''EXT—INSIDE THE SHIP'''

[Pender finds Corso tied up.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
They're onto us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PENDER 
Yeah, starting to get that feeling. Reynard and Jonas are on their way back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Yeah, where's Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PENDER 
Outside, unconscious. I take it she didn't buy your story?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Yeah, she's too smart.</blockquote>

[Pender unties him.]

<blockquote>PENDER 
Had to keep trying anyway, huh?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Yeah, I tell you, it's in my blood. She fixed the ship, though.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PENDER 
It'll fly?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Fire it up.</blockquote>

'''EXT—OUTSIDE THE SHIP'''

[Jonas comes over the hill and sees Carter lying on the ground, unconscious. He runs toward her.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Carter!</blockquote>

[Corso appears and zats him.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
(to Reynard) 
We're going home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
Really?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Pender's warming up the ship now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
You might want to reconsider that. Forget what we stashed on Hebridan, it's nothing compared to what's through that stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
What do you mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
I mean, going back is not worth the risk of getting caught. Not when there are riches out there beyond our wildest dreams. Come on, I've learned enough to get us a good head start.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
They've got the stargate covered.</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
And we have hostages.</blockquote>

'''EXT—EDGE OF THE FOREST'''

[O'Neill, Teal'c, and Warrick are scouting out the ship. They see Carter on the ground.]

<blockquote>WARRICK 
It's a trap. No doubt they have armed the ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We can't leave her down there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
How do we disengage the ship's defenses?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARRICK 
It can only be done from inside.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Cover me, Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Indeed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARRICK 
I know how to disarm the defenses. I will go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We'll watch your back.</blockquote>

[Warrick approaches the ship, but stops when he hears the high-pitched whine. O'Neill and Teal'c also cover their ears. Warrick stands up and manages to get inside the ship, turning the noise off.]

[O'Neill and Teal'c go to Carter. Teal'c sits her up and pulls the tape off her mouth.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
They have Jonas, sir. They're gonna try to escape through the stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
A little groggy, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I will stay with her, O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[He heads for the stargate.]

'''EXT—THE STARGATE'''

[SG-15 is guarding the gate. Corso, Pender, and Reynard approach, with Jonas as a hostage.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
Hey there, guys. Why don't you put those weapons down?</blockquote>

[Jonas subtly waves at them to do it.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
You best do that now, or he dies.</blockquote>

[They lower their weapons.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
All we need to do is dial up the gate and go through. No one needs to get hurt, all right?</blockquote>

[Jonas gives Pierce a look.]

<blockquote>PIERCE 
Yeah, sure. Whatever you say.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
That's right, whatever I say. Reynard?</blockquote>

[Reynard goes to the DHD and starts dialing.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
You get that address from my lab?</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
And everything else you said is a.…</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
Not everything. You are cute.</blockquote>

[The gate opens.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
All right, let's go.</blockquote>

[They head toward the open wormhole, taking Jonas with them. As they reach the stone steps, O'Neill appears with his weapon raised.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, that's far enough.</blockquote>

[SG-15 also raise their weapons. Corso and company turn around, brandishing their own. Pender is holding onto Jonas.]

<blockquote>CORSO 
Don't come any closer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PENDER 
Back off or I'll kill him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Colonel, just let them go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nobody's going anywhere.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Really. I'll be fine. It's not worth the risk.</blockquote>

[Jonas twitches his hand, flashing the GDO and signalling that a plan is in progress.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Let 'em go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PIERCE 
Sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Let 'em go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CORSO 
Wise choice.</blockquote>

[Jonas quietly keys in the code, and they take him through the wormhole.]

'''INT—SGC GATEROOM'''

[They exit the gate and Jonas immediately pulls away. SF's appear to take the others into custody.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>REYNARD 
You planted the address?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Call it intuition.</blockquote>

[The SF's lead them away.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well done.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Thank you, sir.</blockquote>

'''EXT—OUTSIDE THE SHIP'''

[SG-1 is helping Warrick prepare for take-off.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Everybody locked up okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARRICK 
They're all in transport stasis. Mr Quinn, I never did ask you how you figured out who Reynard really was.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Just a feeling, really. Although, I did come across something interesting while I was researching the name of your ship. There was another ship built by the descendents of the ancient Celts on Earth. It was called the ''Ceberus''. Coincidentally, it was designed specifically to transport convicts to a penal colony. The names were so similar, I thought that maybe there was some significance in Celtic history and, uh.…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The meaning of the word never changed.</blockquote>

[Jonas shrugs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Incredible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, that, and I've always been suspicious of a girl who kisses on the first date.</blockquote>

[O'Neill gives him a look.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARRICK 
Colonel, I want to thank you for everything that you have done, but mostly for trusting me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's my pleasure.</blockquote>

[Warrick nods at everyone, and enters the ship.]

'''EXT—SPACE'''

[Prometheus is orbiting a planet looking similar to Earth, cloud cover, blue seas.]

'''INT—PROMETHEUS BRIDGE'''

[It is darkened. Colonel Ronson marches onto the bridge.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
All right, everyone on your toes. Major Gant, report.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
A ship has just exited a hyperspace window of our port bow Colonel. Goa'uld vessels, Ha'tak class.</blockquote>

[Ronson takes his place in the captain's chair.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
Sound general quarters.</blockquote>

[An alarm starts to sound.]

<blockquote>GANT 
Goa'uld vessels closing in on position, at 50,000 metres.</blockquote>

[She sits at the helm.]

<blockquote>GANT 
Arming weapons sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Shields at maximum, load missile bays 1 through 4, and charge the primary weapon system.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
Yes sir.</blockquote>

'''INT—PROMETHEUS CORRIDOR'''

[Crewmen are running through corridors as the alarm continues to sound. The camera focuses on O'Neill and Teal'c, who are just coming out of an adjoining corridor. O'Neill is almost knocked over by a running crewman.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(At a passing crewman) 
Excuse me! 
(shouting over the sound of the alarm.) 
God, that's annoying!</blockquote>

[They walk through the corridor.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I believe Colonel Ronson has issued a call for battlestations.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Annoyed) 
Again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Have we not been assigned to participate in the damage control effort.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, and if there's ever any damage I'll do my best to control it. Right now I want to talk to Ronson.</blockquote>

[They enter the bridge.]

<blockquote>GANT 
Goa'uld vessel within range, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Weapons officer,</blockquote>

[A quick shot of the weapons officer at his station.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
Prepare to fire on my command.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(To Teal'c) 
As the weapons officer you'd think he'd already be prepared.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Indeed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
(To O'Neill and Teal'c) 
The bridge isn't exactly where you're supposed to be during a battle drill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, I've been meaning to talk to you about that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Can it wait? 'Till we're not in the middle of a drill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
When are we ''not'' in the middle of a drill?</blockquote>

[Ronson glares at O'Neill and says nothing. O'Neill holds his hands up.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay. We'll talk about it later. 
(They exchange looks. To Teal'c) 
Teal'c, prepare to assist in damage control.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am prepared O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
See how melodramatic that sounds, it's unnecessary.</blockquote>

[They leave the bridge.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
(To the crew left on the bridge) 
Where were we?</blockquote>

'''END TEASER'''

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''INT—PROMETHEUS'''

[O'Neill is at a console, talking to Hammond over a video link.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
To be honest with you Sir, I feel like we're getting in the ''way'' here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(seen on a computer screen) 
SG-1 has valuable experience with both hyperspace travel and the Prometheus itself. Besides, your mission to P7X 009 shouldn't take more than a couple of hours. General Greer and I just want you there for the shake down cruise.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
In the unlikely event of an emergency?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Something like that. Enjoy the ride Colonel. Hammond out.</blockquote>

[Hammond turns off the video link, and the screen turns to snow. O'Neill smiles sarcastically and nods, seemingly in pain.]

'''EXT—PROMETHEUS IN SPACE'''

<blockquote>Voice of RONSON 
This is Prometheus.</blockquote>

'''EXT—PROMETHEUS BRIDGE'''

<blockquote>Voice of RONSON 
Requesting go ahead for mission start.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VOICE on radio 
Prometheus, this is Vandenburg. You have an affirmative on a hyperspace window activation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Roger that. 
(Turns to Major Gant at helm.) 
Major, we have a go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
Yes Sir, activating window.</blockquote>

[She enters co-ordinates in the helm computer.]

'''EXT—SPACE'''

[The Prometheus produces a hyperspace window. The Prometheus enters and disappears in a flash of light. Prometheus is seen travelling through hyperspace.]

'''INT—PROMETHEUS CORRIDOR'''

[Ronson is walking down the corridor, followed by Major Gant.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
Run level 1 diagnostics on all weapon systems including shields.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
Ring transport?</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
In all of them. Also, set up a hull breach simulation for 0500. That's all.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
Yes Sir.</blockquote>

[She leaves. Ronson encounters O'Neill, waiting in the elevator for him.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
Jack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Got yourself a fine crew here Ronson.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Yeah, you got a pretty solid team yourself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, speaking of that…</blockquote>

[The elevator doors open and they step out.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
Jack, I know that in the event of a real situation with the Goa'uld you feel that your place would be on the bridge.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, if not me, then you'd be a fool not to take advantage of Teal'c's expertise, and Carter's a genius—</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
You're absolutely right, but you're just along for the shakedown cruise. My crew needs to be able to count on me and on each other after you're gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Sighs) 
I guess I can respect that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Besides, I highly doubt we'll run into the Goa'uld on this mission.</blockquote>

'''EXT—SPACE'''

[The Prometheus exits hyperspace. Inside the ship, O'Neill and Ronson look surprised.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
We just dropped out of hyperspace.</blockquote>

[He walks off to investigate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Carter, Teal'c meet me on the bridge.</blockquote>

'''INT—PROMETHEUS BRIDGE'''

[Ronson enters, followed by O'Neill, Carter, Teal'c and Jonas.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
Major?</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
We were supposed to be in hyperspace for another 90 minutes Sir, I don't know what happened Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
What's our position?</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
Four zero point six two lightyears short of the target Sir.</blockquote>

[Carter reads some of the data being displayed on the systems computer.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Something must have caused the hyperdrive to shut down automatically.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
The only way that would happen would be if the computer detected some instability with the naquadria powering the engines.</blockquote>

[Carter nods.]

<blockquote>GANT 
He's right Sir, diagnostics show a massive power surge in the hyperdrive. The fail-safes kicked in to shut in down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Have you begun restart procedures?</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
I've tried but the computer won't allow start up.</blockquote>

[A computer screen is shown, which is displaying the message "engines offline".]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter? 
(She looks up) 
You promised me it would work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It did work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No it didn't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The hyperdrive was fitted with a buffer, sort of like a surge protecter. It was designed to modulate extreme fluctuations in the energy coming from the naquadria. This shouldn't be happening.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Yet it is happening.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yet it is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
Something must have damaged the buffer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, with your permission I'd like to take a look.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah, me too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Take Major Gant with you. Report back to me as soon as possible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes Sir.</blockquote>

[Carter, Jonas and Major Gant leave.]

'''INT—PROMETHEUS ENGINE ROOM'''

[Carter is at the systems console.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, we were right. Something caused to buffer to overload. It's more or less fried.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
I don't understand, it was created to handle massive amounts of energy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(Entering the room) 
Gravity waves. I just checked the ship's sensor log, we just passed through an intense gravity wave from a collapsing star while in hypersapce.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, that would explain it, it was too much for the buffer to handle.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
But the hyperspace engine is still intact and we still have the naquadria-</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Interrupting) 
Yeah, but we have no way of regulating it, and no way to calculate the distance we've travelled because of naquadria's inherent instability.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
We could end up anywhere.</blockquote>

'''EXT—PROMETHEUS IN SPACE'''

'''INT—PROMETHEUS BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Carter is showing Ronson the systems data on a large screen.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Entering the room with Teal'c) 
Well, if he was going to help out, he'd've shown by now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Who?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thor. Little guy, grey.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
I know who Thor is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The Asgard have proven valuable in similar situations.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm afraid it doesn't look good Sir. Even if we were able to write a subroutine into the computer to bypass the buffer, we'd still risk the reactor going critical.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Well use whatever you need to repair the buffer. Cannibalise whatever systems you deem necessary.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
With all due respect, Colonel, I can't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Raises eyebrows) 
Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, I helped design the buffer module. I can tell you right now there is no possible way I can make it operational, not with what we have on this ship. It's like a lightbulb that's burned out. You can't just fix it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Do we have any extra bulbs?</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
There's no redundancy for that particular system.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So you're saying there's no redundancy.</blockquote>

[Teal'c looks at him quizzically.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
Even if we were to plot a course for earth, using maximum sub-light thrust, it would take years. We don't have the supplies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Not to mention the relativistic effects.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
That buffer has to be repaired.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Actually, there maybe another solution.</blockquote>

'''INT-PROMETHEUS BRIDGE'''

[A laptop is open. Its screen shows several Gate addresses.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
According to the cartouche, the planet is .3 lightyears from our present position, 
(he rings a planet on the navigational board) 
P3X 744. Now, we've tried dialling it unsuccessfully in the past, but if it's on the cartouche then there had to a Stargate there at some point.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Perhaps it may be buried.</blockquote>

[Ronson and O'Neill turn to look at Teal'c.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, if we can make it there and Gate home, we can get what we need to repair the ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
We're still talking about a 4 month journey using sub-light engines, we'd never make it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We use the hyperdrive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I thought we couldn't do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
For a protracted period of time, no.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
744 would be a pretty short hop.</blockquote>

[She goes to the navigational console to enter the co-ordinates. O'Neill looks confused.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
The shorter the burst of energy required, the less the instability.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
That's what I'm thinking.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(To Ronson) 
It's your call. 
(Ronson looks at O'Neill.) 
But I don't see that we have much choice.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Major Gant, plot a course for 744.</blockquote>

[Prometheus is seen entering a hyperspace window, then exiting it near a brownish-grey planet.]

'''INT—PROMETHEUS BRIDGE'''

<blockquote>WEAPONS OFFICER 
Now orbiting P3X 744 Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Heading port in a storm heh?</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Good work people.</blockquote>

[The Hyperdrive engine is shown on Gant's computer screen. It changes from green, to red. Carter comes to look at the screen.]

<blockquote>GANT 
Sir, computers are showing a rapid energy build up in the naquadria cells.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Shut down power to the reactor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
(She tries) 
Controls are not responding Sir. The reaction's continuing uncontrolled.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The jump must have triggered a power surge that overloaded the reactor control systems. Sir, without the buffer we have no way to stop the build up. WE have afew minutes before the naquadria goes critical.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Stand by to jettison the reactor module.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
Yes Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Wait a minute, if I'm wrong about there being a Stargate on this planet, we're losing our only means of getting home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It would appear there is little choice.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Bring shields and sub-light engines online.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We're not going to be able to get very far away before it blows.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Then we're about to find out how just good our shields are.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
(Into ship's intercom) 
All hands brace for impact.</blockquote>

[An alarm begins to sound.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
Reactor module separation on my mark, 3,2,1 mark.</blockquote>

[Ronson and Gant press buttons simultaneously. The reactor is seen being jettisoned out of the ship.]

<blockquote>GANT 
Module jettisoned.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Get us clear, full military thrust.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OFFICER 
Sir!</blockquote>

[The Prometheus is seen moving away from the module, which is turning brighter. It explodes, and a shock wave careers towards them. It hits the Prometheus, which convulses with the impact, and inside several consoles explode behind O'Neill, Jonas and Teal'c, who are showered with sparks. The ship continues to convulse. Gas begins escaping from a pipe behind Teal'c. He turns off a nearby valve and the gas disappears. The convulsing stops.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
Damage report!</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
The electromagnetic pulse penetrated the shields Sir; primary computer systems are down. All we have is artificial gravity and life support on most decks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Casualties?

GANT 
None reported.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
How soon before we get systems back online?</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
(Frantically checking her console) 
It's too early to say Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'd like to assist if I may.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Please do, Major.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OFFICER 
Colonel Ronson, I'm picking up incoming bogeys, originally from the planet's surface. Closing on our position, heading this way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Can you identify them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>OFFICER 
Velocity and size indicates some kind of ballistic missile Sir. We're under attack.</blockquote>

[A new alarm starts to sound. Carter, Teal'c and Jonas look concerned. Ronson looks at O'Neill, who returns his look and cocks his head slightly. The sensor screen is shown, with Prometheus in the middle of the screen. 2 red dots appear, coming toward the Prometheus from approx. 1 o'clock.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
Evasive action, take us out of orbit.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OFFICER 
We can't manoeuvre Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
All right, arm weapons, we'll try to take them out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
Weapons control is down Sir.</blockquote>

[Ronson looks worried.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
When do they hit?</blockquote>

<blockquote>OFFICER 
3 minutes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's not enough time to get the systems back online Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Colonel, they only fired their missiles after we exploded the hyperdrive over their atmosphere. It could very well have looked like an attack from their point of view.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I agree Sir. Based on the weapons they fired, they're obviously a fairly sophisticated race. The EM pulse that knocked out most of our computer systems could have had the same impact on their planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Then how are they able to launch missiles?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Ballistic missile sites on Earth are shielded from EMP.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Let's talk to them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OFFICER 
2 minutes to missile impact.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
Sir, I can broadcast on multiple frequencies. If they're listening, they'll pick it up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Do it.</blockquote>

[O'Neill puts on a headset with earphone and microphone. He looks to the officer, who nods.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
This is Colonel Jack O'Neill of the United States Air Force vessel Prometheus. Can anyone hear me down there?</blockquote>

[There is a pause, and some kind of static can be heard over the speaker.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
The explosion that just happened in orbit over your planet was an accident. The resulting EM pulse has damaged our ship and we're defenceless against your attack.</blockquote>

[More static is heard over the speakers.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We've come a long way to meet you folks, so if there's anything you can do, y'know, to stop those missiles.</blockquote>

[The sensor screen is seen, with the 2 red dots continuing to move closer.]

<blockquote>OFFICER 
1 minute to impact.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
(Over intercom) 
Lock down all compartments and brace for impact.</blockquote>

[An alarm sounds.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We'd very much like the opportunity to land and introduce ourselves, but if you destroy our ship that's going to be…very difficult.</blockquote>

[More static. SG-1 exchange worried glances. The sensor screen is shown, with the two red dots continuing to approach the ship. The front window of the ship is shown, and the two missiles can be seen. Suddenly there is a blinding light, as the two missiles explode. The ship shakes from the resulting shockwave.]

<blockquote>OFFICER 
Missiles self destructed at 17,000 metres.</blockquote>

[Ronson exhales loudly, he has been holding his breath.]

<blockquote>CALTHAS 
(Over speakers) 
This is Commander Kalfas of the Tagrean Security Force. We will transmit landing co-ordinates. Kalfas out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not exactly an engraved invitation, but…</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
I would prefer not landing until we have our shields and weapons back online.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
We should have shields back up in a couple of minutes, Sir.</blockquote>

'''EXT—PROMETHEUS'''

[Prometheus descends to land on the alien planet.]

'''INT—PROMETHEUS CORRIDOR'''

[O'Neill leads Jonas, Teal'c and Carter as they prepare to meet the inhabitants.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
The man you talked to is called Commander Kalfas. The planet is called Tagrea.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Kalfas. Tagrea. Got it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, I've been scanning for naquada traces with the ship's sensors on an effort to locate the location of the Stargate. So far I've got nothing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Could the information on the cartouche be incorrect?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hasn't been wrong yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
If they don't accept our apology finding the Stargate will be the least of our problems.</blockquote>

[O'Neill signals to a crewman, who activates the rings.]

'''EXT—T'GRIA'''

[The team are seen walking away from the Prometheus, which has several flying weapon platforms hovering around it. They are met by a battalion of Tagrean soldiers, weapons raised, and several huge tanks. As they near the soldiers, they are surrounded, and the tanks aim their guns at them too. The Commander walks toward them.]

<blockquote>KALFAS 
Drop your weapons. Immediately.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Howdy fellas! Colonel Jack O'Neill, United State…</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
Several powerful weapons are aimed at both you and your ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
…s Air Force.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
Disarm yourselves, or you will be fired upon. This is not negotiable.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I believe he is being sincere in his threat O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, I guess we're going to have to start trusting them at some point.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks round at the surrounding soldiers.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[He unclips his P90 and places it on the ground.]

'''EXT—TAGREAN CITY'''

[It is clear from the architecture and transport that this is a more advanced civilisation than Earth.]

'''INT—TAGREAN CHAMBER'''

[SG-1 and several Tagreans are stood around a table. They sit. Soldiers are seen in the doorway.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I take it we have you to thank for destroying the missiles before they hit our ship thus… 
(Kalfas joins them) 
…saving out lives.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
There was something in your voice that I trusted.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh. Did I mention we're sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Knowing that the EM pulse caused damage to your ship, I'm willing to accept that it was unintentional.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
I'm not so willing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Power has been restored to the cities affected, Kalfas.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
There was considerable impact on our economic systems.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
They will recover.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
We still don't know the extent of the damage.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
(Raising his voice) 
Nothing 
(Turning to SG-1) 
compared to meeting a race of people from another world for the very first time.</blockquote>

[He looks at SG-1, there is a pause.]

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
It is a profound moment for us.</blockquote>

[O'Neill smiles uncomfortably.]

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
You have said that Tagrea holds the key to you returning to your home planet. Could you be more specific.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Chairman Ashwan, we believe that you possess a piece of alien technology that is capable to transporting living matter across the galaxy.</blockquote>

[Ashwan and Kalfas look at each, confused.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Attempting to clarify) 
We'd like to borrow your Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
I'm sorry, our star-gate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Kind of a ring thing, comes with a dialer, you hit the symbols, it spins around and lights come on, it kind of flushes sideways?</blockquote>

[Ashwan shakes his head, ignorant.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
It looks like… 
(finds the page in his notebook) 
this.</blockquote>

[He shows Ashwan a picture of the Stargate drawn in his notebook, then hands the notebook to Kalfas.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Once it's activated, it is able to transport you from one planet to another instantaneously. In this case from Tagrea to our planet Earth.</blockquote>

[The Tagreans pass the notebook from one to another. Kalfas starts to smile wryly.]

<blockquote>KALFAS 
They seek the Ring of the Gods.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
If that's what you want to call, Ring of the Gods is good.</blockquote>

[Kalfas hands back the notebook.]

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Please, understand, this device you seek, the "Stargate" I regret to tell you—</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
(Interrupting) 
It's a myth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
There has never been a shred of evidence to prove its existence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Have you ''looked'' around, just…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
If you could grant us access to your historical data, we could shed some light on the situation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
No, no, no, your freedom of movement is not negotiable. Once this meeting is over, you're to return to your vessel and stay there unless further instructed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
In the meantime, I will have some basic historical data delivered to your ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
Mister Chairman!</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
If you do somehow succeed in proving the existence of this Stargate, we will be glad to help you locate it as an act of good faith between our two worlds.</blockquote>

[They stand. Ashwan bows.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you Ashwan.</blockquote>

[SG-1 leave, accompanied by the guards.]

<blockquote>KALFAS 
They may well be gathering information for an invasion.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Even if you're right, knowing our history will do no harm. But Kalfas, what if this ring does exist? Imagine, after all these centuries, finding a piece of our past.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
And what is our past was buried for a good reason?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Travellers from another world are seeking our help.</blockquote>

'''INT—PROMETHEUS'''

[Carter, Jonas, Teal'c and Gant are sat studying the data sent by Ashwan. O'Neill enters.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How goes the homework?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, besides the language, there's almost nothing to indicate how these people got here. There's no archaeological data, no ancient writing, no documentation of any artefacts…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
And I have found no mention of the Chappa'ai nor any other technology used by the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, that's a little weird. The Goa'uld are damned litter bugs, they usually leave a lot of crap behind.</blockquote>

[He joins them at the table.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
That is most often the case.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
If this is a comprehensive history of Tagrea it's a joke.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I know, there's nothing here dating back further than 300 years.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Maybe a year is longer on this planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Maybe, Sir, but even so. Without an idea about where the Tagreans came from, we have no way of finding the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
So they are hiding something from us or ,uh,</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Or their entire past has been erased.</blockquote>

[O'Neill mulls this thought over.]

'''EXT—PROMETHEUS'''

[Prometheus is surrounded by Tagrean weapons batteries.]

'''INT—PROMETHEUS'''

[O'Neill, Carter and Ronson exit an elevator and walk down a corridor during conversation.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
You invited them for dinner?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I was thinking more of a brunch.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
To be honest Colonel we offered it in exchange for access to their central archives.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
A library pass for a tour of the ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
(Annoyed) 
And when were you going to inform ''me'' of this arrangement?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Pause) 
Now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
(Sighs) 
You know I can appreciate you want to get home, but my first priority is the security of this ship and crew.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Listen. Your ship and crew are going nowhere unless we find that Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
I just don't like the idea of giving a guided tour of the Prometheus to the same people who've got gun batteries aimed at us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We'd do the same damn thing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel Ronson, we need these people to get home, and we didn't exactly make a good first impression.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
We'll do this little barbeque of yours, but that's as far as I go.</blockquote>

[He walks off.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Watches him leave.) 
Do we have a barbeque?</blockquote>

[Carter smiles and leaves.]

'''INT—TAGREAN CENTRAL ARCHIVE'''

[Jonas and Teal'c are sat at a long table, with several thick volumes piled up around them. They are deep in study.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
How many planets have SG-1 been to?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
One hundred thirty three.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
And on each of them, the ones inhabited by humans at least, there's been some indications of their origins right, a temple, some ruins…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is indeed a mystery Jonas Quinn. A Goa'uld would not bring this many Tau'ri to a new world and not force them to build monuments in his honour.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, I don't care how hard you try, you can't erase history, something must remain. We just need to find it.</blockquote>

[Teal'c looks over to a nearby bookcase, where a Tagrean is watching them. Catching Teal'c's gaze, he looks away quickly, and is suddenly very interested in the scrolls on the shelves.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We are being watched.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What, the guy half hiding behind the bookshelf? Pff! Been casing us since we got here.</blockquote>

[The man hurriedly puts the scroll he was reading back on the shelf, and several others fall off due to his haste.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
And not very well either.</blockquote>

'''INT—PROMETHEUS'''

[Doors open to reveal Ashwan, O'Neill, Carter and Kalfas. They are being given a tour of the ship.]

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Most impressive. And you say much of the technology incorporated into your vessel is of alien origin?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes.</blockquote>

[He signals to Carter to take over the conversation.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Most of the key systems in fact. It's one thing to build this ship, it's another thing to fly it across the galaxy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We haven't quite got that part straightened out yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We use a rare element called naquadria to power our hyperdrive engine, but it can be extremely unstable, in fact that instability is what led to the explosion over your planet. We had to eject the reactor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Why use such a dangerous substance to power your ship?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I asked the same question myself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
For the time being naquadria is our shortcut to inter stellar travel. More stable forms of energy simply don't have the power to run the hyperdrive</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Several of my ministers have expressed concern that this is a military vessel. What would you have me say to them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That, they're right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Prometheus was designed primarily for defensive purposes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
From these Goa'ulds you mentioned.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
Without your main source of power.</blockquote>

[Ronson enters.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
With or without the naquadria reactor this ship is more than capable of defending itself against…attack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
May I introduce Colonel William Ronson, commander of the Prometheus.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
It is an honour.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
I assure you Colonel, we would not attack…without provocation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
There are several gun batteries aimed at my ship, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
Well, we must defend ourselves from any action you might take. For instance, should Chairman Ashwan and I fail to appear at a specific time, my men have orders to fire those batteries.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
(Smiling politely) 
Then perhaps we had better continue the tour.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Please, Major Carter, after you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Thank you, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Addressing Kalfas and motioning him to continue after Carter.) 
Sir.</blockquote>

[O'Neill smiles sarcastically at Ronson as the party passes him.]

'''INT—TAGREAN CENTRAL ARCHIVE'''

[The man watching Teal'c and Jonas is looking for them in between bookshelves. As he comes round a corner, Jonas and Teal'c appear behind him. They have been following him. Hearing their footsteps, the man turns, and smiles as he recognises them.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
May we be of assistance?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEREK 
Forgive me, I did not want to intrude.</blockquote>

[He bows in greeting.]

<blockquote>TEREK 
My name is Terek Solamon. I am Professor of Mathematics here at the university.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, I'm Jonas Quinn, this is Teal'c and uh, if you were curious about us you should have come over.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEREK 
Forgive me Mr. Quinn, it was not you I was curious about. It is what you seek that interests me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Continue.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEREK 
I have heard that you seek evidence of the ring of the Gods. I believe I can help you find it.</blockquote>

[Jonas and Teal'c look at each other, intrigued.]

'''INT—PROMETHEUS'''

[Internal doors open, and Prometheus personnel enter carrying dishes of food. SG-1, Colonel Ronson, Ashwan, Kalfas and two aides are sat at a table, and the dishes are placed before them.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
I hope everything is satisfactory. We weren't expecting to host a formal dinner when we started this mission.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
It's fascinating to realise we are eating food grown and prepared on a world millions of light years away.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And frozen millions of years ago.</blockquote>

[This does not go down well.]

<blockquote>GANT 
(Smiling) 
It's the best we have on board.</blockquote>

[They start to eat, Kalfas wary of the food, Ashwan seeming to enjoy it.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Mister Chairman, we couldn't help but notice in our research that your history seems limited to the last 300 years.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Prior to our…recorded history our people endured a long and terrible dark age…one they desparately wished to forget. Thus only after Tagrea emerged from this black era did historians begin again to record events.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
But that means you're missing thousands of years of your past.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Aren't you…curious?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Well it's hardly a questions of choice, Colonel. Even if we wish to know our ancient history, there's none to study. All evidence of it was destroyed centuries ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
(Leaning toward Ronson) 
We believe that what came before year zero has no intrinsic value to our society. The society of the new era has no need to know how they suffered.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
(Pointedly) 
On earth, we study our past, to learn from it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
(Smiling menacingly) 
Whereas we believe nostalgia is a sign of weakness.</blockquote>

[Ronson looks indignant, O'Neill raises his eyebrows, Carter looks uncomfortable.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm sure both points of view have merit.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Well said, Major.</blockquote>

[Kalfas looks at Aswhwen, then leans back into his seat.]

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
A drink, to history.</blockquote>

[He raises his glass, as do the rest of those round the table.]

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
And to the future.</blockquote>

[They toast and drink. Kalfas looks at Ashwan darkly.]

'''INT—PROMETHEUS CORRIDOR'''

[O'Neill and Carter escort the Tagrean party.]

<blockquote>KALFAS 
Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter, the meal was…interesting.</blockquote>

[Ashwan shoots a look behind him at Kalfas.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Glad you liked it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He didn't say that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Well, I did, thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, y'know…now that we've got to know each other a little better, do ya think having those guns pointed at us is completely necessary?</blockquote>

[Ashwan opens his mouth to speak.]

<blockquote>KALFAS 
Would your Colonel Ronson not be as vigilant?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, I'm sure he would be.</blockquote>

[Carter, Kalfas and Ashwan nod in greeting, to say goodbye.]

<blockquote>KALFAS 
Mister Chairman,</blockquote>

[He gestures with his arm to go first.]

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
I will join you in a moment.</blockquote>

[Kalfas, Carter and the Tagrean aide leave, leaving O'Neill and Ashwan alone.]

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
I apologise for Commander Kalfas' behaviour. Diplomacy is not his strength.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes…we share that quality in common.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Since I took office, I have been perceived as being…weak on matters of civil defense. As a result, Kalfas has growing political support.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Our arrival hasn't helped things much, has it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
(shaking his head) 
No. I only hope that his mistrust does not interfere with your quest for the Stargate. I believe finding it would be…a great discovery for our people.</blockquote>

'''INT-TEREK'S OFFICE'''

[Terek's office contains many scrools on shelves, models of simple aircraft and boats. His desk is cluttered with artefacts. A huge stained glass window is behind the desk, casting a yellowish and reddish glow in the office.]

<blockquote>TEREK 
Please, excuse the state of my office.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
So, you said you could help us find the ring of the gods.</blockquote>

[Teal'c and Jonas sit at Terek's desk. He stands at the other side.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
How?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEREK 
These.</blockquote>

[He opens a shallow chest behind him, and takes out several stone artefacts.]

<blockquote>TEREK 
I've spent a lifetime collecting them. Relics from before my people turned their back on their god.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
To which god are you referring?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEREK 
Our creator, Horus. Only a few of us dare believe in him.</blockquote>

[He takes out a gold necklace with an eagle on it from beneath his jersey.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Quietly) 
A symbol of Heru'ur.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEREK 
You know him?</blockquote>

[He puts back his necklace.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Heru'ur is not a god. He is a Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEREK 
He is the one who made us. The relics speak of him as the creator of all life. The one who spoke us into existence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
More likely he is the one who enslaved your ancestors and brought them here from Earth.</blockquote>

[Terek looks confused.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Heru'ur must have abandoned your people many years ago, when the resources he sought were depleted.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Then the Tagreans must have tried to destroy all evidence of their former god as an act of defiance, including everything to do with the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEREK 
Ah, they did not destroy everything.</blockquote>

[He takes out a small package, covered in a piece of linen.]

<blockquote>TEREK 
This remains.</blockquote>

[He uncovers a small papyrus scroll, covered in reddish hyroglyphs and hands it to Jonas. Among the hyroglyphs, in the middle of the papyrus, is a pictograph of the Stargate. Teal'c and Jonas look at each other, intrigued.]

<blockquote>TEREK 
My understanding of this language is extremely limited, but it appears to be an etching of something called a "shap-eye"?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Chappai'ai.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEREK 
Ah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
This text is a slight variation of pre-dynastic Egyptian, it's beautiful. The section right here says Heru'ur's Stargate can be found, uh, in a great desert to the north.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEREK 
Oh, it must mean the wastelands of Annur. They lie far beyond the city. I have found many of my artefacts there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Really?</blockquote>

[Jonas and Teal'c look at each other, the Jonas looks over his shoulders toward the two security personnel waiting at the door of the office.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Guys? We'd like to take a little field trip.</blockquote>

'''INT—TAGREAN COUNCIL CHAMBER'''

<blockquote>KALFAS 
(Barely containing his anger) 
They want to be taken to co-ordinates in the wasteland.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Then take them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
I think that's a mistake.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Because they may find something you do not want them to find.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
If this is reconnaissance prior to a invasion-</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
You're being ridiculous.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
(Raising his voice) 
And you are being reckless!</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
(Standing to face Kalfas) 
Representatives from another world have come to Tagrea. 
(He starts to shout) 
Another world! Do you understand! 
(Pause) 
And what's more, they seek our help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
(Quietly, with menace) 
We do not even know their true intentions.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Or what they can offer us. An exchange of knowledge and technology. The Stargate could open up the universe for our people-</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
(His voice rising again.) 
A universe of potential enemies. I demand that you reconsider!</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
(Shouting) 
We cannot undo what has happened!</blockquote>

[There is a pause as both men stare each other down.]

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
The difference is, Kalfas, I would not if I could. They are here, and we must deal with them one way or another. I prefer to help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
And I prefer to-</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
(Interrupting) 
For now, have them taken to the co-ordinates.</blockquote>

[He nods, showing his authority. Kalfas stands to attention, and nods in return.]

<blockquote>KALFAS 
As you wish.</blockquote>

'''EXT—WASTELANDS OF ANNUR'''

[Jonas, Terek and Teal'c are standing in the blazing sunshine. Jonas is studying the papyrus containing the pictograph of the Stargate.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
The Stargate should be located directly in the middle of the second and third monument.</blockquote>

[He points to two stone pillars, one behind the group, one in front of them.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Are you certain, Jonas Quinn?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, it's what it says.</blockquote>

[The scene changes, and it is clear it is later in the day. Teal'c, Jonas and Terek, have been digging in the place Jonas indicated. Teal'c's spade hits something hard.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Jonas.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Think it's the coverstones?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Indeed.</blockquote>

[They throw the spades aside. Jonas gets down, and starts moving earth with his hands. Taking out a brush, he reveals hieroglyphs.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Here lies…chappai'ai of Heru'ur…false god to the people of Tagrea. May they never know a day like that again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEREK 
The ring exists.</blockquote>

[A huge smile appears on his face.]

'''INT—PROMETHEUS'''

[A display of the Prometheus systems is on a big screen behind Carter.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Over radio) 
O'Neill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
What's up T?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I believe we have located the Stargate.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Carter both look up and are very interested.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well that's good news.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We will require assistance to move it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We'll talk to Ashwan. Nice job!</blockquote>

'''EXT—WASTELAND OF ANNUR'''

[Metal posts are levering up the coverstone. Prometheus personnel and locals are all contributing to the effort. Several different shots or the progress made until all the segments have been lifted off. The Stargate is underneath. Cater and Terek are in the process of uncovering the DHD.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Jonas! It looks good, it looks intact.</blockquote>

[Kalfas and members of the Tagrean security force watch the action hidden behind boulders. Kalfas watches through a telescope, looking annoyed. The Stargate is raised as the sun sets. Many of the local people stand amazed. Later Jonas, Teal'c and Terek stand by the DHD.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, let's give it a shot.</blockquote>

[He punches in the Gate address. The chevrons light up. Local people look up at the sight and sound. The Stargate engages, and people step back as the vortex explodes from the Gate, before settling into an event horizon. Teal'c and Jonas smile at each other. Suddenly a line of bullets explode in the sand inches from their feet. A tank approaches them, speeding it's way along the sand, commanded by Kalfas. It stops just a few feet from them.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Kalfas. What are you doing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
I am taking back what belongs to my people.</blockquote>

'''INT—TAGREAN COUNCIL CHAMBER'''

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Kalfas' actions are outrageous!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Tell him to stand down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
I've done exactly that, Colonel, he refuses. He claims to be protecting Tagrea's security.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Have him arrested.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Kalfas commands a great loyalty among many in the military. Challenging him would only lead to civil war.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, we could use the Prometheus. Her weapons would be more than a match for Kalfas' troops.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There is still that nagging problem of all the guns pointed at it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
I chose the commander of those gun batteries myself. He is loyal to me. Colonel, I give you my word, he will not fire upon your ship.</blockquote>

'''EXT—WASTELAND OF ANNUR'''

[Those excavating the Stargate kneel, their hands bound, surrounded by Kalfas' troops.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Kalfas, you've no idea what you're dealing with here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
I know our ancestors buried this device for a reason.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Maybe they were wrong. Maybe it's time for you to stop being afraid of the past.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
No, it's not the past I'm concerned about, it's the future. Having assessed our strength, you would undoubtedly return with greater numbers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You have nothing to fear from the Tau'ri.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
We just want to fix our ship. Our people can become friends, they can exchange knowledge, even trade. We'll even teach you how to use the Stargate.</blockquote>

[Kalfas steps forward, toward Jonas.]

<blockquote>KALFAS 
Yes, you ''will'' teach me how to use it.</blockquote>

'''INT—PROMETHEUS BRIDGE'''

[O'Neill is following Ronson.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They're holding two of my men prisoner. We need this ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
(Sitting in his chair) 
Our shields are still down, Jack. If we take off and they open fire with those guns…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ashwan promised that they wouldn't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
He just lost control of his government, and I'm going to trust the safety of my crew to his word?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Firmly) 
Yes. That's what you're going to do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Jack…</blockquote>

[Carter enters the bridge, followed by Ashwan.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
You're asking me to risk everyone on this ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
If that is so, Colonel Ronson, then I shall be taking the same risk. You may launch your vessel when ready. You'll not be fired upon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
(After mulling this over for a few seconds) 
Major Gant,</blockquote>

<blockquote>GANT 
Sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
Fire up the sublight engines.</blockquote>

[An alarm sounds.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
Arm all available weapons, and prepare to return fire… 
(looking at Ashwan) 
on my orders only.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
That will not be necessary, Colonel.</blockquote>

[He leaves, Carter following him.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
(To O'Neill) 
Let's hope the old man is right, or this is going to be a short ride.</blockquote>

[Prometheus takes off slowly.]

<blockquote>GANT 
No sign of weapons fire from the gun batteries, Sir. I think we're clear.</blockquote>

[O'Neill raises his eyebrows and cocks his head at Ronson, who smiles.]

<blockquote>RONSON 
Very well, proceed to the co-ordinates at one third thrust.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HELM OFFICER 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

'''EXT—STARGATE'''

[Prometheus is seen over the Stargate, casting a shadow over those taken captive, and Kalfas and his troops. Kalfas looks up at the ship.]

'''INT—PROMETHEUS'''

[O'Neill, Carter and Ashwan walk toward the ring transporter.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Are you sure you're up to this, Mister Chairman? Things could get out of hand here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
I'm not afraid, Major. I should have done this a long time ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
(Over intercom) 
This is Ronson. We're in position.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Roger that.</blockquote>

[He signals the crewman to activate the rings. They are transporter to the surface. Kalfas and his troops are still looking up at the ship. They turn to look at the new arrivals.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Prometheus, do not fire until my signal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RONSON 
(Over radio) 
Prometheus has you six, SG-1.</blockquote>

[Kalfas briefly looks up at the huge ship hovering overhead, then returns his stare to O'Neill and Ashwan. Ashwan looks around him at the troops, then addresses Kalfas.]

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Kalfas, this has gone far enough. Release these men.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KALFAS 
(To the troops) 
Hold your positions. We cannot let him hand this device over to the aliens.</blockquote>

[Ashwan looks around again.]

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
(Addressing the troops) 
Commander Kalfas, he's a good man…a cautious man. But he thinks, as our ancestors did, that is better to control what we do not understand, to bury it so it cannot harm us. I, too, once thought as he does, but no longer. These…aliens, who Kalfas fears so much, are not conquerors, they are long lost brethren.</blockquote>

[Kalfas looks around uneasily. Ashwan gestures to the Stargate.]

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Look at it. 
(Pause) 
This is where we came from. 
(Pause) 
This is who we are. Our ancestors erased our history out of fear. 
(He points to Kalfas) 
And yet, without our history, we cannot know who we are, or what we may someday become. I will not make that same mistake.</blockquote>

[He walks toward Kalfas.]

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
I'm relieving you of your command. You and your men will stand down.</blockquote>

[He starts to walk away, then turns back.]

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
(raising his voice) 
I said, ''lower your weapons!''</blockquote>

[Kalfas and SG-1 look around as the troops follow Ashwan's order; motioning to Kalfas.]

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Take him away.</blockquote>

[Kalfas's side arm is removed, and he is led away.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(To Ashwan) 
Didn't know you had that in you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Neither did I.</blockquote>

[Later.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We'll be back in a few days with some equipment to repair our ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ASHWAN 
Until the Colonel Ronson and his crew will be our honoured guests. I hope you'll join us for a state dinner on your return.</blockquote>

[Carter smiles and returns to Jonas at the DHD.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
(To Terek) 
Hey, thanks, Terek.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEREK 
No, thank you. I hope you will soon return; there's much to learn about our history.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah, we can definitely help you out here, but I think you know more that most people on your planet. 
(To Carter) 
Got a feeling this guy's going to be getting a bigger office soon.</blockquote>

[Carter smiles and begins punching in the Gate address.]

<blockquote>VOICE 
Previously on SG-1.</blockquote>

[Scene from 5.06 "Rite Of Passage."]

[Cassie is lying in bed in the infirmary. A chess set is on the table in front of her. A knight from the chess set is slowly rotating in the air above the table. Fraiser enters, looking at Cassie with concern and worry.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Cassandra, what are you doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
It helps, to do this.</blockquote>

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Daniel is explaining some of the information found in Nirrti's lab.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hok'tar is actually a hybrid of two Goa'uld words: Hok which means advanced and Tar which I believe is some sort of slang…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
For?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Human.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So essentially it's advanced human: Hok Tau'ri.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Such an advanced human would prove a powerful host for the Goa'uld</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Which explains why Nirrti was performing the experiments.</blockquote>

[Scene from 6.16 "Metamorphosis."]

[O'Neill is looking down the sight of his P-90, then shoots a single bullet at one of Nirrti's Jaffa. Wodan stops it in mid flight using his telekinetic powers. O'Neill looks up, astounded, and Nirrti smiles. The bullet falls to the floor.]

[Jonas is placed in the gene altering machine. Images of his DNA float around him. Nirrti approaches, studying the images.]

<blockquote>NIRRTI 
Those few thousand years on another world have changed you more than you know.</blockquote>

[Later, Nirrti is trying to seduce Jonas into joining her. She is whispering into his ear.]

<blockquote>NIRRTI 
I could make you more powerful than you could ever imagine. The powers you have seen in Wodan and the others are only a fraction of what I could give you.</blockquote>

'''EXT—ALIEN PLANET'''

[Black tents, similar to Bedouin in design, are in the foreground. Towering behind them are great cliff faces, covered in an iron structure. They appear to be the face of a mine.]

<blockquote>ELLORI 
I must apologise, Colonel, it is a meager feast to offer visitors from another world.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and SG-1 are sitting at a table in one of the tents, enjoying a pitiful looking meal. They are sitting with two men, Ellori, an elder, and Charzen, his young advisor.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(looking at a grey, gristle covered bone on his fork) 
No need to apologise. It appears delicious.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ELLORI 
We are a poor people. We are forced to spend most of our time in the mines.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHAZEN 
For the greater glory of Ba'al.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ELLORI 
(Quietly) 
Of course.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's interesting, because according to our information Ba'al abandoned this planet over 100 years ago when the naquadah mines went dry.</blockquote>

[In the background, Jonas seems to be suffering some kind of pain in his head. He closes his eyes, winces, shakes it slightly, then refocuses on the conversation. Teal'c observes him doing this.]

<blockquote>ELLORI 
The naquadah is scarce and difficult to extract, but there are still deposits.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(To Jonas) 
Are you feeling unwell Jonas Quinn?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(obviously uncomfortable) 
I'm fine, it's just, uh, hot.</blockquote>

[Carter looks at Jonas too, with a look of concern. She doesn't believe him.]

<blockquote>CHAZEN 
It is true that we have not heard from Ba'al for many generations but we continue to offer him tribute through his emissary Lord Mot.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You expecting this guy any time soon?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ELLORI 
He will arrive in 12 days at the rising of the full moon.</blockquote>

[Jonas looks sleepy. Suddenly the scene changes, and Jonas sees a vision of Chazen.]

<blockquote>CHAZEN 
You talk like an old fool, it would be madness to defy Lord Mot.</blockquote>

[The vision ends. Jonas jerks his head, as if snapping out of a dream. He pinches his nose, as if he has a headache.]

<blockquote>ELLORI 
With each passing year, mining grows more difficult. Soon it may be impossible to meet Lord Mot's demands, but we have no choice. They are gods after all…are they not?</blockquote>

[He looks at SG-1, almost expecting an answer. They look up, their interest piqued.]

<blockquote>CHAZEN 
Well they have great power, that is all we need to know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ELLORI 
That is true. However…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHAZEN 
(Warning) 
Ellori.</blockquote>

[Ellori pauses, deciding not to continue. Carter and Teal'c notice the tension between the two men.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
However what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ELLORI 
We have an ancient prophecy, that one day strangers would come through the Chappa'ai to slay the gods and free our people. Now you have arrived, and you also carry weapons of great power.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHAZEN 
You talk like an old fool, it would be madness to defy Lord Mot.</blockquote>

[Jonas realises what has just happened. He starts to get up from the table. O'Neill notices.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Jonas?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I need some air.</blockquote>

[He is leaning heavily on the table. As Jonas tries to get up, he instead keels over, collapsing on the floor. He lies there, eyes open but catatonic. Carter rushes over, feeling for his pulse.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Jonas!</blockquote>

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

[Jonas, Fraiser and Hammond are walking down a corridor, into the infirmary. Jonas looks much recovered. Fraiser is carrying a folder, containing scans of Jonas.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Preliminary tests seem to indicate that Jonas is in perfect health.</blockquote>

[She puts up the MRI scan results.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
But, given his history with naquadria research I thought it would be prudent to do an MRI. Now, it shows an area of unusual brain activity right about here.</blockquote>

[She points to the centre of Jonas' brain scan.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Any explanation?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
No, Sir, I don't even know if this had anything to do with what happened on the planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I had a dizzy spell. It was probably the food.</blockquote>

[He laughs, embarrassed.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Maybe, but I don't want to take away chances. I've scheduled a series of follow up exams.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Very well.</blockquote>

[He leaves.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[SG-1 and Hammond are in the middle of a debriefing about the recent mission.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
According to Tok'ra intelligence, not only did Ba'al abandon P4S-237 over a hundred years ago, but to the best of their knowledge he no longer receives any naquada shipments from the planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
So where is it going?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, perhaps this Lord Mot is keeping it for himself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What do we know about him?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
He was the Canaanite god of death. According to mythology, he was defeated by Ba'al and then forced to live in the underworld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
In all likelihood there was a power struggle. Ba'al defeated Mot and forced him into servitude.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Maybe he doesn't want to serve anymore?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If he is stockpiling naquada without Ba'al's knowledge, he may well be planning to move against him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, if we're right about this, and Ba'al no longer has any knowledge of what's happening on the planet, it's possible we could free these people. If the System Lords think the planet's worthless, then we wouldn't have to worry about somebody coming in to take his place.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Did they ask for our help?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not exactly.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I think they were afraid to come out and ask directly. But they did hint that they no longer believe the Goa'uld are gods.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What do you think Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I think we're going to need a lot more intel.</blockquote>

[Jonas has a strange look on his face. He puts his hand to his temple. After a flash of light he sees a notebook, full of writing and diagrams before him, and his hand picking it up. From behind him comes Carter's voice.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hey, you want to get some lunch? It's Mexican today.</blockquote>

[There is another flash and the vision ends. Jonas is back at the briefing table, with Major Carter still talking. He looks at her, slightly confused.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
According to Ellori, Mot isn't due to return for another twelve days. It gives us plenty of time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'll contact the Pentagon.</blockquote>

[He leaves.]

'''INT—JONAS' OFFICE'''

[Jonas walks into the room, still thinking about what happened in the briefing. He looks down, seeing the notebook from his vision. He picks it up, and hears Carter approaching from behind.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hey, you want to get some lunch, it's Mexican today.</blockquote>

[Jonas looks shocked.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I knew you were going to say that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What are you talking about?</blockquote>

[She comes in.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Before, when we were in the briefing room, I had a…I dunno, it was like a vision. I was standing here holding this notebook, you came in and said what you said.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
When you think you're reliving a moment it's called deja vu. It's normal, it's said to be caused by split second delay in sense perception.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(shaking his head) 
No, this was different. It was the same on the planet, I…saw something, then it happened.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
When?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Just before I passed out. I didn't say anything because I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now it's happened twice.</blockquote>

[Carter looks slightly concerned.]

'''INT—HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

[Hammond is reviewing documents at his desk. Fraiser enters.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Sir? We've just completed a second MRI. There's still nothing to suggest that Jonas' previous exposure to naquadria has anything to do with this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
According to Major Carter he claims to be having visions.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Hm-mm, he's also beginning to suffer from headaches. I know the symptoms appear to be similar to what happened to those scientists on Kelowna but there are no indications of schizophrenia. There is, however, a small spot on this MRI that has me worried.</blockquote>

[She hands him the scan.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You know what it is?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I'm not sure, but it could be a tumour.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Is this what caused him to pass out?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
(Nodding) 
It's possible. Sir, I…I think it would be best if you took Jonas off of active duty.</blockquote>

[Hammond sighs.]

'''INT—JONAS'S OFFICE'''

[SG-1 is telling Jonas Hammond's decision.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
This is ridiculous.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Fraiser's just covering all the bases.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Something else has to be going on here. Whatever she saw in that MRI, it has to have something to do with these visions I'm having. I mean…it can't be just co-incidence. 
(pause) 
What, you guys didn't believe me when I was seeing those alien creatures, and they turned out to be real.</blockquote>

[Carter and O'Neill exchange looks.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So you're seeing things before they happen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(looking as if he's having a dizzy spell, or about to faint) 
That's right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Like…what's for lunch…</blockquote>

[Jonas reaches for the desk to support him, and sits down.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
No, I can't control it, it just flashes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We have encountered many strange phenomenon, Jonas Quinn, but we have yet to meet anyone who can see the future.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It goes against all the laws of physics as we understand them. Have you had any more?</blockquote>

[Jonas is staring at the desk, as if in a trance. He doesn't respond.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Jonas?</blockquote>

[He blinks, coming out of his trance like state.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
The Tok'ra are coming.</blockquote>

[The alarm sounds for an incoming wormhole.]

<blockquote>SGT DAVIS 
(through loudspeaker) 
Unscheduled off world activation.</blockquote>

[Jonas closes his eyes momentarily, as if recalling some information.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Her name is Sina.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[SG-1 enter to find Hammond and a female Tok'ra standing by the table.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
SG-1 this is Sina of the Tok'ra</blockquote>

<blockquote>SINA 
We have further information about the system lord Ba'al.</blockquote>

[SG-1 look taken aback.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Is there a problem?</blockquote>

[Carter and Teal'c look at O'Neill. He pauses.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(motioning Sina to the table) 
Please.</blockquote>

[They take their places. Hammond helps Sina to her chair, the rest sit when she is seated.]

<blockquote>SINA 
Ba'al has suffered a recent military defeat at the hands of Lord Yu. Anubis is said to be very disappointed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's hard to believe Yu hasn't been destroyed yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SINA 
Give that he is the only System Lord still in opposition to Anubis, his persistence is remarkable.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(punching the air) 
You go Yu!</blockquote>

[There is an awkward pause.]

<blockquote>SINA 
(ignoring O'Neill's comment) 
Ba'al's recent campaign was meant to be a final crushing blow, but he allowed Yu to slip from his grasp and suffered heavy losses in the process.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So he screwed up and his boss is pissed at him now huh?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SINA 
If I understand you correctly, yes. That would be a fair assessment.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(nodding, under his breath) 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Clearly, Ba'al is in a vulnerable position. It might be an ideal time for Mot to move against him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
If he moves up to the rank of System Lord, he won't have to keep his operation on '237 secret anymore. He could garrison the planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
So if we're going to help them, we'd better do it soon.</blockquote>

[Sina nods.]

'''INT—JONAS' LAB.'''

[Jonas pours out 2 pills from a container. They look like pain relief. Carter walks in.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
'Nother headache?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(grimacing and nodding) 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Jonas, none of us had ever met that Tok'ra before. There's no way you could have known her name.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I can't explain it. I, uh, I saw her in the briefing room. General Hammond said her name, and then a few minutes later it happened. Teal'c said that you've never encountered aliens with pre- cognitive abilities right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, we haven't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
But we have come across other, uh, psychic powers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
On P3X-367</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Wodan was telekinetic, Egar was telepathic. Then there was Cassandra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You think Nirrti has something to do with this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
It's very possible. She had me in that gene splicing machine for over an hour. What if she did something to me?</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Fraiser is showing Hammond the latest results from Jonas' MRI scan. They are seated together looking at the screen.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It's hard to say without a biopsy, but all of my tests seem to indicate the tumour is not made up of cancer cells.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Then what is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I'm not sure. But I do know that it's grown by over 50% since the last test. I've never seen anything like it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What can we do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I recommend immediate surgery. If we don't get it out of him soon, the intercranial pressure is going to kill him.</blockquote>

[Hammond sighs, looking worried.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Fraiser is briefing SG1 regarding Jonas' situation. They are sat at the briefing room table.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I've called in a neurosurgeon, her name is Dr Sandy Van Denson, she's the best there is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I'm not completely convinced that surgery is the right way to deal with this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Jonas, it's going to kill you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
You don't know that. We don't even know what it is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Jonas and I have been discussing the possibility that this has something to do with Nirrti. That's it another step toward the creation of a Hok'Tar.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
So you think this is the result of genetic manipulation?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Jonas thinks that the new tissue in his brain is somehow giving him precognitive abilities.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Well, for all I know you may be right. But that doesn't change the fact that if this tumour continues to grow at its current rate it is still going to kill you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
It may stabilise.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nirrti never did anything to anyone that didn't turn out badly.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Colonel, you of all people should realise what an advantage this could be. Imagine if we could know, in advance, when and where the next Goa'uld attack would come from.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You have yet to provide such valuable information.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
All I'm saying is just give me some more time. At least 48 hours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Make it 24, and you'll remain on base for observation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What about the mission?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You're going to sit this one out. 
(To O'Neill) 
Colonel, I want you to take the rest of SG-1 and SG-15 back to the planet for a full tactical assessment. If there's a real chance we can free these people from the Goa'uld, I wanna know about it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

[O'Neill glances at Jonas, who hangs his head, a look of disappointment on his face.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Dismissed.</blockquote>

[He leaves.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Jonas is sat on one of the beds. Fraiser is finishing her exam, taking his blood pressure.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Blood pressure's a little high. How are the headaches?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Not good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Jonas, why are you doing this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Even limited pre-cognitive abilities would be invaluable to our work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
(nodding knowingly) 
Hmm. You still think you have to keep proving yourself, don't you.</blockquote>

[Jonas looks at her.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
You know, you might wanna think about the possibility that you're valuable enough already.</blockquote>

[Jonas nods, but his facial expression says he is not really listening. The glazed look comes over his face. Fraiser turns to a nurse, not noticing.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Let's run another EEG.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE 
Yes Doctor.</blockquote>

[She leaves. Fraiser turns to Jonas again. Jonas sits on the bed, motionless, eyes glazed. She frowns, and walks toward him.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Jonas?</blockquote>

[Jonas experiences another vision. He sees Fraiser rushing to a gurney that is coming along the corridor. She puts on gloves and begins to assess the patient.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
How she doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE 
Respiration is shallow, pulse is weak.</blockquote>

[We see the patient is Carter.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Sam, can you hear me? Sam?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE 
I've lost the pulse.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
She's in V-Fib</blockquote>

[The gurney goes past Jonas, who is watching the action take place.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Anything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE 
Nothing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Charge to 200.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE 
Charging.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Clear! </blockquote>

[There is a sound of the paddles discharging.]

[Jonas snaps awake. An alarm is sounding, signaling an active wormhole. Jonas suddenly leaps from the bed, running out of the infirmary toward the gateroom.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Jonas!</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC GATEROOM'''

[A wormhole engages. SG-1 begin their ascent up the ramp. Jonas rushes in, and up the ramp to stop them.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Colonel! Colonel!</blockquote>

[SG-1 stop and turn to him.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
You have to scrub the mission.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Major Carter gets hurt. I saw it.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Carter exchange looks.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(from the Control Room) 
Colonel O'Neill, what's going on down there?</blockquote>

[O'Neill opens his mouth, but can't think of what to say.]

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Hammond is looking out the window at the now inactive 'Gate. Jonas is explaining to him and SG-1 what happened.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
It was a medical emergency. Major Carter was being rushed to the infirmary with what appeared to be a staff blast wound.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
According to the villagers, we will not encounter any Jaffa for many days.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, maybe they're wrong, or maybe they lied, we can't know for sure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
But that's just it Jonas, there's no way we can know. Maybe it's not even supposed to happen on this mission, it could be weeks from now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(hand on the back of his head, in obvious pain) 
I don't think I can see that far ahead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The point is, we can't start second guessing every decision. It's a calculated risk every time we step through that 'Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I agree Major. However, until we have a better understanding of what's going on, I prefer to err on the side of caution.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Was anybody else hurt on this thing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I only saw Major Carter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, then she can sit this one out, just to be on the safe side.</blockquote>

[Carter looks very put out.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Agreed, but Colonel be careful.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes Sir.</blockquote>

'''EXT—P3S 237 TENTED VILLAGE'''

[O'Neill and Teal'c are standing outside one of the black tents near the mine.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(into radio) 
Major Pierce, report.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PIERCE 
(over radio) 
We've swept the whole village Sir, and there's no sign of any Jaffa activity.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ELLORI 
As I've said, Lord Mot will not arrive for many days.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(into radio) 
All right, stay sharp. O'Neill out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ELLORI 
Have you decided to help us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(sighs, then pauses) 
Are you sure this is what you want?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ELLORI 
It is as the prophecy foretold.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, screw the prophecy. I need to know your people are willing to follow through in this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ELLORI 
Last winter, there was a terrible sickness in the village. Many could not work. When Lord Mot arrived and there was not enough naquadah, we tried to explain. We begged his forgiveness. But he would not listen. He took ten of the sickest, including my daughter's husband, and executed them in front of the whole village. We would do anything to be free of this burden.</blockquote>

[O'Neill is suitably convinced.]

[Chazen leaves the tented village, through some underbrush and into the forest. Once in a clearing, he takes from his pocket a small, grey, Goa'uld communication sphere, and waits to be contacted.]

'''INT—JONAS' OFFICE'''

[Jonas turns on his desk lamp, but flinches at the sudden brightness. He is studying books on precognition, but finds it impossible to concentrate. He is sweating, and looks in pain. He gets up from his desk, and reaches a hand out to steady himself. A buzzer begins to sound.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
(over intercom) 
We have a medical emergency on level 25, we have a medical emergency on level 25.</blockquote>

[Jonas lurches towards the door, rushing to level 25.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

[Jonas leaves the elevator, and walks down the corridor, following a medic who has rushed down there and around the corner. Sgt. Siler and the medic appear, Siler holding his hand. It is very red, looking burned.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
What happened?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SILER 
Ah we were doing an overhaul of the 'Gate generator and there was a power spike. The capacitor blew.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Anyone else hurt?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SILER 
Major Carter.</blockquote>

[Jonas stops in his tracks, and slowly turns round. There is something very familiar about all this. Suddenly a gurney appears, with Carter on it, being rushed to the elevator. Fraiser runs to the gurney, exactly as she did in his vision.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
How's she doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE 
Respirations are shallow, pulse is weak.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Sam, can you hear me? Sam?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE 
I've lost the pulse.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
She's gone into VFib.</blockquote>

[She punches Carter's chest to try and restart the heart's regular rhythm. Carter has a large burn on her upper arm, just below the shoulder.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Anything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE 
Nothing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Charge to 200.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE 
Charging.</blockquote>

[The nurse hands Fraiser the paddles of the defibrillator, and pulls up Carter's shirt ready.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Clear?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE 
Clear.</blockquote>

[Fraiser administers the paddles.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
What've we got?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE 
Pulse is back. Regular sinus.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Okay, let's get them both in the infirmary, let's move.</blockquote>

[They go in the elevator, leaving Jonas in the corridor, alone. He has been watching the whole thing.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY.'''

[Carter is sat up in bed. She has a bandage on the upper part of her right arm, where the burn was. A nurse is checking her status on the monitoring machines by her bed. The nurse smiles at her, then leaves.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(To nurse) 
Thanks.</blockquote>

[Jonas enters, not looking good. He leans on the table for support.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hey.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
How you feeling?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Slightly overcooked. Janet says I'll be fine.</blockquote>

[Jonas nods and sighs. Carter taps on the bed, gesturing for him to sit. He does.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Sam, I sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
For what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
If I had just kept my mouth shut you would have gone on the mission and none of this would have happened.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Jonas…</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I envisioned it exactly the way it happened, but I didn't understand it. I misinterpreted the vision. I won't make the same mistake again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Don't do this to yourself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I've been thinking about this a lot. Now I have always been hyper-observant, I see details that other people miss, I see patterns, maybe predicting the future is just an extension of that ability.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(shaking her head) 
It doesn't work that way. According to Newtonian physics, yes, if you could know the position and velocity of every particle in the universe at any given moment you could accurately predict all of their interactions for the rest of time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
So then the future is predetermined, it's just a matter of having enough information to figure it out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, but quantum mechanics blows that out of the water. According to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle it is impossible to look at a sub-atomic particle and know both where it is and where it's going a t the same time. The more accurately you fix its position, the more uncertain you make its velocity and vice versa. The best we can do is calculate probabilities.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Okay, so then I'm seeing probable futures.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Maybe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
But every vision I've had has turned out exactly the way I saw it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It doesn't mean they always will Jonas.</blockquote>

[Jonas touches his forehead again, as if with a headache.]

'''EXT—P3S-237 NIGHT'''

[SG-1 and Major Pierce are discussing tactics with Ellori in one of the tents.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Does Mot usually arrive through the Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ELLORI 
No, he usually arrives by ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where does he land?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ELLORI 
Here.</blockquote>

[He points to a place on a map, laid out on a table they are standing around.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
How many Jaffa?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ELLORI 
8, maybe 10.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Clearly he is not anticipating resistance.</blockquote> <blockquote>PIERCE 
Colonel, we can do this. There's plenty of cover here… 
(pointing to map) 
…and here. They'd never know what hit them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, we'll do a sweep of the area tomorrow.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ELLORI 
I will show you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHAZEN 
Old fool!</blockquote>

[Chazen has entered the tent behind Ellori. Ellori looks round in surprise when he hears his voice.]

<blockquote>ELLORI 
Chazen!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHAZEN 
These outsiders have led you astray, but I've taken care of everything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What did you do?</blockquote>

[There is the sound of gliders sweeping overhead. Teal'c and O'Neill look up.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
A scout ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHAZEN 
Lord Mot is coming.</blockquote>

[Chazen holds up a light grenade, which goes off, stunning all those in the tent.]

'''INT—JONAS' OFFICE'''

[Fraiser walks into the lab, looking at some results in Jonas' medical file.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Jonas, we need to go over these test results…Jonas!</blockquote>

[She drops the file and runs over to where Jonas lies on the floor. A table lamp has also fallen on the floor, and illuminates Jonas' face. His eyes are open, but he is non-responsive. He has also had a nose bleed. Fraiser rushes to the phone.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
This is Fraiser, I need a medical team to level 18 L7.</blockquote>

'''INT—P4S-237 UNDERGROUND''

[O'Neill and the team are in a cell, presumably in Lord Mot's palace. O'Neill and the rest of the men are sat down, Teal'c is stood by the bars. O'Neill stands up and moves towards Teal'c.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You know, every time I wake up in a Goa'uld cell, I can't help the thought that something bad is going to happen.</blockquote>

[Lord Mot enters, with his personal guard.]

<blockquote>MOT 
You are the Tau'ri of Stargate Command.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And you are Lord Mot, come to punish us for our insolence etc, yadda, et al.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOT 
That is correct.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, Mr Mot, we're onto ya, we know what you've got planned, and we've informed the Tok'ra. If we don't report back on schedule, they're going to rat you out, they're going to tell your boss, they'll snitch on ya.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOT 
You intend to send a warning to Ba'al.</blockquote>

[O'Neill, pauses, looking around, then addressing Teal'c.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I think that's what I said, isn't it?</blockquote>

[Teal'c nods, smiling.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I said that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOT 
I think this is unlikely. You would not be here is you did not wish to protect the people of this planet. If Ba'al discovers the mines are still active he will return. There will be no message.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Ba'al is in the service of Anubis. If you kill him, you will have to answer for it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOT 
You may be of some assistance in that regard.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't think so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOT 
It is well known among the system Lords that an iris protects your Gate. Obviously you must transmit some kind of code before you return to your planet. I suspect you use one of these.</blockquote>

[He holds up a GDO.]

<blockquote>MOT 
You will tell me the code, and I will use it to destroy Stargate Command. Anubis will congratulate me for my initiative.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We will tell you nothing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOT 
Not at first. But eventually. However, for the moment I must deal with these villager, I cannot let their treachery go unpunished.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They had nothing to do with this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOT 
My spy tells me other wise. Of course, I could be convinced to spare them some discomfort.</blockquote>

[O'Neill gives him a murderous look. Mot laughs.]

<blockquote>MOT 
Well then, I'll leave you to think about it.</blockquote>

[He leaves. O'Neill takes a deep breath.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Close up on Jonas' eye, which suddenly opens. Jonas looks around, and sees he is in bed in the infirmary. Monitors beep quietly in the background.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
What am I doing here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
You had a seizure. We can't wait any longer, Jonas. If this tumour gets much bigger we might not be able to remove it safely.</blockquote>

[There is pause. Jonas has that glazed look again, as if he is about to see another vision.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
(weakly) 
what…</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
What is it?</blockquote>

[Jonas sees a flash, then experiences another vision.]

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>SGT DAVIS 
Sir, am receiving an IDC, it's SG-15.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Open the iris.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SGT DAVIS 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

[The iris opens. No one comes through.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(into radio) 
SG-15 this is Hammond, come in.</blockquote>

[Interference is heard on the other end.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(into radio) 
Repeat, this is General Hammond, please respond.</blockquote>

[The Gate remains open, but nothing is coming through. Suddenly a staff blast comes through the Gate, shattering the control room window, causing Hammond to fall to the ground, face full of cuts from flying glass. An alarm sounds, as a light grenade rolls through the Gate and down the ramp. It goes off, stunning the gateroom guards. Several Jaffa follow, staff weapons ablaze. They are fired upon, but retaliate, killing at least two SGC guards. Hammond gets up, and sees Davis, who took the full force of the original staff blast. Jaffa continue to come through the Gate, firing at anything that moves. The last gateroom guards are picked off by a Jaffa, while another Jaffa comes through the Gate, carrying a large round object, like a giant light grenade. He places it on the ramp while the other Jaffa cover him. He activates it, just as SGC reinforcements enter the gateroom. Hammond crawls to the desk, putting his hand on the iris control and sealing the iris. He stands up, watching the action in the gateroom, and locks eyes with the head Jaffa, who is kneeling next to the large device he brought through. The crystals in the device pulse for a moment, then there is a blinding flash of light as the device explodes.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Jonas gasps as he comes to.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
(urgently) 
I need to talk to General Hammond.</blockquote>

[Fraiser looks somewhat confused.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
NOW!</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Fraiser, Hammond and Carter are talking with Jonas, standing either side of his bed. Jonas to telling them about his vision. He is sweating and keeps rubbing his head in pain.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
And by the time you closed the iris it was too late. They set off some kind of bomb. It destroyed the entire gateroom, maybe even the whole mountain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You're sure it was SG-15's iris code.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Positive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, we have to warn them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Maybe sending a message is what causes this to happen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Like when you tried to warn Major Carter about her injury.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Jonas, we've been over this. The future isn't predetermined. In the absence of any other information the best thing we can do is follow normal procedure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah, but if I didn't have this vision we wouldn't be having this conversation. WE're already beyond normal procedure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What do you suggest?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
We need more information, we need to know how the Jaffa get the iris code. NOw maybe I can find that out.</blockquote> <blockquote>CARTER 
I thought you said you couldn't control the visions.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I haven't been trying hard enough.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
No, Jonas if we don't get you to surgery right now you could die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I need just a little more time.</blockquote>

'''INT—GOA'ULD CELL'''

[Two guards stand outside the cell SG-1 and 15 are being held. A servant woman comes up to them, carrying a tray of drinks. She offers them to the guards, who drink up. O'Neill is by the bars.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Excuse me Miss, but how about sending a little bit of that our way?</blockquote>

[He looks quizzically at the young woman, who shakes her head slightly at him. One of the guards suddenly collapses, forcing the other guard onto the bars, where O'Neill and Teal'c grab him until he, too, falls unconscious.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(referring to the drinks) 
Or not.</blockquote>

[The woman takes the keys from one of the Jaffa, and opens the cell.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Wow, what did you put in that stuff?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NATANIA 
Kelmino root. They will sleep for many hours. I was able to retrieve this.</blockquote>

[She hands the GDO to Major Pierce. Chazen has the rest of your belongings. I daren't take more.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where's your father?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NATANIA 
He's being held in the village. Lord Mot intends to make an example to him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, we can help him, but we have to get to the Gate to get some reinforcements here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NATANIA 
I understand.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How do we get out?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NATANIA 
This way.</blockquote>

[They start to leave.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to the group) 
Boys.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Jonas lights a number of candles on a table. Fraiser stands behind him, watching.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Think that'll help?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Works for Teal'c.</blockquote>

[He moves slowly, then starts to wobble backwards a little. Fraiser goes to his side, steadying him.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Jonas?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I'm okay.</blockquote>

[Staring all the time at the candles, Jonas feels his way to the bed, and sits cross legged on the end. He settles himself, and experiences another vision. There is a flash of bright light, then he sees a hand brushing aside long grass. SG-1 and 15 are jogging up to the Gate, wary of any attackers. Jonas loses concentration, and the vision stops. He tries to slow his breathing, and this vision reappears. This time he sees the Stargate. O'Neill and Pierce get to the DHD, and Pierce dials up while O'Neill keeps a look out. Pierce sends the GDO signal.]

<blockquote>PIERCE 
We're good to go.</blockquote>

[A staff blast comes out of the bushes behind Pierce and hits him straight in the back. O'Neill dives down, and he and other members of the team shoot their zats in the direction of the staff blast. Jaffa begin to attack them. O'Neill uses the DHD as cover, Teal'c firing from behind the MALP. 2 members of SG-15 are hit and go down. O'Neill and Teal'c see that Pierce is still alive, as Pierce raises his head to look at them. Teal'c goes and grabs Pierce, while O'Neill provides cover. Teal'c is hit in the thigh, and goes down.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c!</blockquote>

[Teal'c looks at O'Neill, then stands up ready to fight again. He is hit by 2 staff blasts in the back. He falls down, presumably dead. O'Neill looks at his friend, trying to assess the situation. He can hear the shouts from at least a dozen Jaffa moving in on his position, both in front and behind him. He fires his zat again and again, but is surrounded. The vision ends. Jonas is sweating, wobbly, and his speech is slurred. He tries to stand up.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Jonas?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I need to get to the control room.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Are you all right? JONAS!</blockquote>

[Jonas collapses into Fraiser.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I need some help in here!</blockquote>

[Two aides come to help, manoeuvring Jonas back onto the bed.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Get him on the bed. We've got to get him into surgery, grab the gurney. Easy. Jonas? Jonas?</blockquote>

[Jonas moans, and she checks his pupils with a pen light. Jonas' nose has started bleeding again.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Jonas, can you hear me?</blockquote>

'''EXT—P3S-237 FOREST'''

[Natania leads SG-1 and 15 through the forest. They stop briefly.]

<blockquote>NATANIA 
(pointing) 
This path will take you to the Chappa’ai.</blockquote>

[O'Neill signals for the other to go on.]

<blockquote>NATANIA 
Colonel, Lord Mot will execute my father. There is not much time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Just stay out of sight until we get back.</blockquote>

[He touches her shoulder, then leaves.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

[The florescent lights can be seen going past. Jonas is on a gurney, heading for surgery. He seems slightly agitated, and his head twitches.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Not yet…</blockquote>

[Carter comes up to Fraiser, helping to push the gurney. Her arm is still in a sling.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What happened.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
We can't wait any longer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Sam, Sam.</blockquote>

[He lifts his hand, and Carter holds it.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
I saw it. I know what's going to happen.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Carter walks up the steps, meeting Hammond.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, they're walking into an ambush. According to Jonas, Jaffa will be waiting for them at the Gate. We have to warn them.</blockquote>

[They stand next to Sgt Davis, sat at the controls.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(to Davis) 
Dial P4S-237.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SGT DAVIS 
Yes Sir.</blockquote>

[The alarm sounds as the Gate begins to spin into place.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Jonas lies in bed, sweating and shivering. He has a blanket over him to keep him warm. Fraiser has changed into surgical scrubs. She places a comforting hand on his arm. Red lights flash in the background, signifying an active Gate.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Sshh, it's okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What's happening?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It's okay, Jonas.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What's going on?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It's okay.

[The nurse begins to inject something into Jonas' I.V.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It's okay Jonas, it's not your problem anymore.</blockquote>

[He looks at her.]

'''INT—P4S-237 TENT VILLAGE'''

[Chazen is looking over the confiscated items from SG-1 and 15. He holds a P90. Hammond's voice comes over O'Neill's radio. Chazen looks at it, then listens.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND

[Chazen picks up the radio.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Jonas believes there may be a Jaffa presence awaiting your arrival at the Stargate.</blockquote>

[Hammond is talking into the mic, with Carter beside him. The shimmer from the event horizon lights up their faces.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Exercise extreme caution approaching the Gate. I repeat, exercise extreme caution when approaching the Gate. Jonas believes you may be walking into an ambush.</blockquote>

'''INT—P4S-237 TENTED VILLAGE'''

[Chazen is holding up the radio, listening to Hammond. He looks concerned.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(over radio) 
Do you copy?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHAZEN 
Sendir?</blockquote>

[A man stood guard outside comes into the tent.]

<blockquote>CHAZEN 
Check on the prisoners.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SENDIR 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

[He runs off.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(over radio) 
Colonel O'Neill, do you copy?</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Major Pierce, do you read me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SGT DAVIS 
They could be out of range Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Or maybe they received the message, but they can't respond.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What about the MALP?</blockquote>

[Davis looks to the MALP screen, but it shows a no signal message.]

<blockquote>SGT DAVIS 
Not receiving anything Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, SG-3 is prepped and ready to go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I just can't risk it Major. I could be sending them into an ambush. We're just going to have to hope Colonel O'Neill gets the message.</blockquote>

[Carter nods.]

'''EXT—P4S-237 FIELDS'''

[A hand brushes aside long grass, exactly as Jonas' vision showed. SG-1 and 15 carefully but quickly approach the Gate, on the lookout for any enemy activity.]

'''INT—P4S-237 TENTED VILLAGE'''

[Sendir runs back into the tent, where Chazen is still holding the radio.]

<blockquote>SENDIR 
The prisoners have escaped.</blockquote>

[Chazen looks down, thinking for a moment.]

<blockquote>CHAZEN 
Sound the alarm.</blockquote>

'''EXT—P4S-237 STARGATE'''

[A wormhole engages. O'Neill and the team are in exactly the same positions as Jonas's vision. A Jaffa bugle sounds, and O'Neill looks to Jaffa approaching their position.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Pierce.</blockquote>

[Pierce ducks down, and O'Neill zats one Jaffa. Teal'c shoots a Jaffa in front of him, twirls his staff weapon 180 degrees and hits another Jaffa behind him. O'Neill ducks behind the DHD as a staff blast misses him by inches. there is an exchange of fire between the two sides.]

'''INT—P4S-237 TENTED VILLAGE'''

[Mot enters the tent, seriously annoyed.]

<blockquote>MOT 
Who gave the order to sound the alarm.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHAZEN 
I did. The prisoners have escaped.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOT 
Idiot. I allowed that foolish girl to help them. My Jaffa are waiting at the Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHAZEN 
Oh, I could not have known, you, you must forgive me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOT 
You are mistaken.</blockquote>

[He raises his hand and engages his ribbon device. Chazen's face contorts with agony, but then Mot crumples up one side, and Natania enters, having just shot Mot with a pistol. She shoots again, and the sound of Mot's body falling to the ground resounds.]

'''INT—SGC O.R.'''

[Fraiser is assisting Dr Van Denson in surgery. A heart monitor can be head slowly beeping in the background.]

<blockquote>VAN DENSON 
Scissors.</blockquote>

[Fraiser passes them to her.]

<blockquote>VAN DENSON 
There it is. Looks like an astrosentoma.</blockquote>

[Fraiser looks concerned.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Isn't that unusual?</blockquote>

<blockquote>VAN DENSON 
If the tissue isn't malignant, yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
We didn't see any of evidence of it on the MRI. Must be a recent formation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VAN DENSON 
I've got retricular infiltrates. This could get a little tricky.</blockquote>

[She puts her hand out, and Fraiser passes her another pair of scissors.]

'''EXT—P4S-237 STARGATE'''

[The fire fight continues. Teal'c and another member of SG-15 manage to kill two Jaffa.]

'''INT—SGC O.R.'''

<blockquote>NURSE 
Blood pressure's dropping. Heart rate's 120 and climbing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
He's haemorrhaging.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VAN DENSON 
I need more suction.</blockquote>

[Fraiser complies.]

<blockquote>VAN DENSON 
(quietly) 
I don't see it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE 
Blood pressure's 80 on 60, heart rate's 160.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
We got to find the bleeder, he's pre arrest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VAN DENSON 
Run a litre of saline, and have dopamine standing by.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Get a unit of O neg.</blockquote>

[The blood gets hooked up. Fraiser hands Van Denson a swab, while the nurse checks his vitals on the monitor again.]

<blockquote>NURSE 
Pressures 60 on 40.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VAN DENSON 
Hold on, I see it. Retract this flap.</blockquote>

[Van Denson looks closer at the open wound.]

I think I've got it.

[Fraiser and Van Denson exchange looks.]

<blockquote>NURSE 
Pressure's coming up, heart rate's stabilising.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VAN DENSON 
Okay, let's get this thing out of him.</blockquote>

[Fraiser nods.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

[An alarm sounds, signifying an active wormhole. Heavily armed personnel rush down the corridors into the Gate room, taking up positions around the Gate and ramp. Carter, Davis and Hammond watch from the control room.]

<blockquote>SGT DAVIS 
Still no signal, Sir.</blockquote> [More heavily armed personnel take up positions in the corridors outside the Gate room.]

<blockquote>SGT DAVIS 
Sir, I'm receiving an IDC. It's SG-15.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(into radio) 
SG-15, this is Hammond, come in. 
(pause) 
Repeat, this is General Hammond, please respond.</blockquote>

[There is no answer.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, if we don't open the iris, and it really is Colonel O'Neill, Teal'c and SG-15…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The second they step through that puddle they'll be killed. I'm aware of that. 
(to Davis) 
Open the iris.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SGT DAVIS 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

[The iris opens. There is a long pause, before O'Neill, Teal'c and SG-15 come though, one of them wounded.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Got a wounded man here!</blockquote>

[Carter and Hammond smile at each other, then go down to meet O'Neill. 2 medics rush into the Gate room to help the wounded. Hammond and Carter reach the base of the ramp.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel it's good to see you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, request permission to return to the planet with SG-3 and 10, we have some unfinished business.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Permission granted.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks around at the heavily armed personnel in the Gate room.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Expecting someone else Sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'll explain later.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Jonas lies propped up in bed, reading a book. He has a bandage around his head, but looks much better. SG-1 enter.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey! Thought you were supposed to be resting that brain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Aaeehhh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How ya doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I'm a little sick of staring at these walls all the time, but other than that I'm fine. Doctor Fraiser thinks they got it all out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I read the post op analysis. The tumour was similar to ordinary human brain tissue, but that the neurons were five times more densely packed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Nirrti definitely had something to do with this. This kind of thing just doesn't happen naturally.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Are you still having visions, Jonas Quinn?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Not since the surgery, no.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So, no lottery numbers,</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(smiles) 
'Fraid not</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No trip to Vegas, just you and me</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(chuckles, then sighs) 
So, how's it going on 237?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They are planning a large celebration, in our honour.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They wanna thank us for helping them get rid of Mot.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're bringing the food this time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
That's a good idea.</blockquote>

[Fraiser enters.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
All right, visiting hours are over. Jonas, you need your rest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, get well soon. We need you out there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

[O'Neill, Teal'c and Fraiser leave, leaving Carter and Jonas alone.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
(to Carter) 
Is he feeling all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I knew he'd warm up to you eventually.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(chuckles) 
You know, it is interesting, we changed the way things played out, which would seem to indicate that the future isn't predetermined. But by doing so, we fulfilled an ancient prophecy. A thousand years ago someone in that village predicted that this would happen. Now how do you explain that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Maybe it was just a lucky guess?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah.</blockquote>

'''TEASER'''

'''FADE IN'''

<blockquote>VOICEOVER 
Previously, on Stargate SG-1.</blockquote>

'''Scenes from "Revelations"'''

[A Goa'uld mothership is orbiting an unknown planet. Suddenly, an Asgard ship appears from hyperspace.]

<blockquote>HEIMDALL 
(to O'Neill) 
First we must rescue Thor. He is a prisoner of the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANUBIS 
(to an imprisoned Thor) 
I am Anubis. This device will be implanted into your brain.</blockquote>

[Anubis switches on a little spiked metal ball.]

<blockquote>ANUBIS 
(to an imprisoned Thor) 
It will form a link between your mind and the ship's computer. Your knowledge will simply be downloaded into our memory banks.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c are held in a cell.]

<blockquote>THOR 
(over speakers) 
O'Neill…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thor?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
(over speakers) 
I am using the internal communication system to synthesize my voice. I believe I may be able to rewrite some minor subroutines in the security protocol.</blockquote>

[The door to O'Neill and Teal'c's cell opens. The next scene shows Heimdall at some controls as O'Neill, Carter and Teal'c ring into the room. Thor, still encased in a biobed, also appears.]

<blockquote>JAFFA 
Lord Anubis, the Asgard prisoner is gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANUBIS 
He will not get far.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
(to O'Neill and Heimdall) 
You can not take me with you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why not?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
The link between myself and the Goa'uld ship has not been severed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(at an SGC briefing) 
They managed to remove the device from his brain, but it may have been too late. Apparently, he's lapsed into a coma.</blockquote>

'''END FLASHBACKS'''

'''EXT—SPACE'''

[A small cargo ship is flying through space.]

'''INT—CARGO SHIP'''

[Jacob is at the controls, with Carter in the co-pilot's seat and Teal'c and Jonas standing behind them. Two other personnel can be seen at the very rear.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
Looks like your analysis was right, Sam. It's dead in space, but completely intact.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Has Anubis ever done anything like this before?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
This is a first. It must have been a little crazy around the SGC when it showed up, huh?</blockquote>

[Jacob grins.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
You have no idea!</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
I have a pretty good idea, Sam. I used to be an Air Force General, remember?</blockquote>

[O'Neill appears from the rear, stretching.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Are we there yet?</blockquote>

[Teal'c and Carter look back at O'Neill at he stretches.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Not yet, Sir. Just close enough to do some scans.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Scanned anything yet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Nothing, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nothing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's in a stable planetary orbit. Shields and weapons are down, and it's emitting no EM of any kind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Still just, kind of, sitting there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

[As O'Neill looks puzzled and bored, Jonas smiles, a look of wonder on his face.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
Well, if they were gonna attack Earth, they would have done it by now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Jonas) 
What are you smiling at?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, it's just that it's my first time. In space.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah…</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
We'd only begun to consider the possibility of space travel. To actually be out here is…It's amazing.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks unimpressed as Teal'c smiles.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Indeed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Until something goes…horribly wrong.</blockquote>

[Major Davis and Doctor Friesen walk up to the team.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
What's our status?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The ship should be just a few hundred kilometers dead ahead. There.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ship Ahoy-hoy…</blockquote>

[The cargo ship comes to a stop ahead of a large Goa'uld mothership. Jonas looks out of the window, smiling and awed.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
That's incredible!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm not a hundred percent but…this could be the same ship Anubis used to kidnap Thor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Now we know why they haven't attacked. There's no discernible life signs.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
All the escape pods have been jettisoned.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This ship does not appear to have been damaged in battle.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Power and life supports are functioning normally. There's just nobody on board.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Why would they abandon a perfectly good ship?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
They wouldn't.</blockquote>

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''EXT—SPACE'''

[The mothership and the smaller cargo ship are in Earth's orbit.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
Jack. Rather than fly into a cargo bay, I recommend we use the transport rings to get us there until we get a better idea of what's going on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Jacob) 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[O'Neill turns to Davis and Friesen and indicates that they should leave the cockpit.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Boys…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Teal'c) 
Radio Hammond. Let him know we'll have something in a couple of hours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Very well.</blockquote>

[O'Neill starts to leave.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Jonas, stay with Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I don't understand.</blockquote>

[O'Neill turns around and walks towards Jonas.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm sorry. Stay here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
So I'm not going with you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not this time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Colonel, I've studied every report, every specification, everything you have on Goa'uld motherships…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Because I gave you an order, Jonas. I always have a reason I'm not required to explain. It's a military thing.</blockquote>

[Jonas watches as O'Neill walks towards the others, who are preparing to leave the ship.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR'''

[O'Neill, Jacob, Carter, Davis and Friesen ring into the corridor. They walk through a doorway. Jacob whispers to O'Neill as he indicates a direction.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
Jack!</blockquote>

[As they follow Jacob, a garbled computerised sound is heard over the intercom.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
What is that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
I can't make it out.</blockquote>

'''INT—CARGO SHIP'''

[Jonas sits in the co-pilot seat as Teal'c, sitting in the pilot's seat, checks the instruments.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The crew appears to have abandoned ship, GeneralHammond.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That's good news! I don't mind telling you, we've all been holding our breath down here.</blockquote>

'''INT—CARGO SHIP'''

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
That is most unwise.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Hammond and smile.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Yes, of course, Teal'c.</blockquote>

'''INT—CARGO SHIP'''

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Colonel O'Neill is leading a team to determine if the vessel can be salvaged.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Very well. Keep me apprised. Hammond out.</blockquote>

'''INT—CARGO SHIP'''

[Jonas smiles goofily at Teal'c, who gives him a sidelong look.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP'''

[Jacob leads the others into Anubis' throne-room, where Thor had been held captive. Jacob activates a control panel.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
Well, this is strange. The ship is operational, but before they left, they initiated a self destruct sequence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It looks like the countdown's stuck.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
It just doesn't make any sense. The only way to stop a self destruct is with a command override, but that would completely erase the sequence, not suspend it halfway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRIESEN 
So, is the ship gonna explode or not?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Well, until we know why the countdown was suspended, we can't be sure it won't start up again. We need to get to the computer core and do a diagnostic.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter. You and Davis. See if you can disable that self destruct altogether.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Sir.</blockquote>

[Carter and Davis leave as O'Neill sits on Anubis' throne.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
Jack, are you seriously considering salvaging this ship?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why, yes, I am, Jacob.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
This ship belonged to Anubis.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Excellent!</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
What if it's some sort of Trojan Horse?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, then, apparently, they did it wrong.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Look, Jack. None of this makes any sense, so before you go slapping a US Air Force sticker on the side of this ship…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, will you stop? Obviously we gotta check things out around here, to see what happened before we do anything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
And find out what the hell it's doing in Earth orbit.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
But our standing orders are to recover technology that can help us defend against the Goa'uld. I'd say this ship falls under that heading , wouldn't you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
You know, sometimes I get a little concerned that you're gonna get my favorite planet wiped out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes. What planet is that?</blockquote>

[Jacob looks unimpressed at O'Neill's sarcasm. O'Neill grimaces.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
So listen, if they wanted to scuttle this ship, and the self-destruct didn't work, their next logical option would be to sabotage the hyperdrive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Friesen. Let's go.</blockquote>

[O'Neill rises and heads out of the room.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
I'll do a system's check from here.</blockquote>

[As O'Neill and Friesen leave, the garbled computerized voice is heard again over the intercom.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Find out what that sound is.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR'''

[Carter and Davis head down the corridor until they reach a doorway. Carter enters a code on the pad to the side of the door, which does not open.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
What's the problem?</blockquote>

[Carter shakes her head, and enters the code again. Again, the door stays closed.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Into radio) 
Dad, this is Sam.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Into radio) 
What's up?</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
We're on our way to the computer core, but we can't access this corridor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Over radio) 
All right, hang on.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

[Jacob brings up an image of the ship's schematics.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Into radio) 
The whole section's been sealed off, and the life support's been shut down.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Into radio) 
Why would they do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Over radio) 
I have no idea.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>JACOB 
I'll see if I can open it up and get the ventilation going again.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP ANOTHER CORRIDOR'''

[O'Neill and Friesen are walking down the corridor, Friesen checking papers attached to a clipboard.]

<blockquote>FRIESEN 
Colonel, we should also check on the shield generators. O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Jacob.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Into radio) 
How's the hyperdrive?</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP ANOTHER CORRIDOR'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Well, Friesen says the engine checks out, but he wants to have a look at the shield generators.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Into radio) 
Did he say why?</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP ANOTHER CORRIDOR'''

[O'Neill looks at Friesen questioningly.]

<blockquote>FRIESEN 
Why? To see them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
To see them? 
(Into radio) 
Never mind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRIESEN 
If this was the ship that destroyed an Asgard ship, and kidnapped Thor, then its shields were clearly superior to any…</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks away as Friesen talks.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR'''

[As Carter and Davis stand at the doorway, the door suddenly opens.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Into radio) 
We're in!</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Over radio) 
All right, just be careful, Sam.</blockquote>

[Carter and Davis enter the next corridor.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Into radio) 
Yes, Dad.</blockquote>

[The next closed door has a number of weapons fire burns.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Whoa!</blockquote>

[Davis walks up to investigate the damage.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Something bad definitely happened here!</blockquote>

[Carter nods agreement as Davis enters a code on the door panel. The door remains closed.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Into radio) 
Dad, we're just outside the computer core. The door looks like it's been hit by several staff blasts.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
(over radio) 
That's interesting, because it's the only door I can't open.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

[Jacob is again checking the ship schematics.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Into radio) 
The circuits are fused. It's almost as if there was a deliberate overload.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Into radio) 
It's starting to look more and more like a saboteur on board. Someone damaged the computer, and then sealed it off so they couldn't effect repairs.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Into radio) 
Whatever happened…I can't get you inside.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Into radio) 
Colonel? Have you been monitoring?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Affirmative. On my way.</blockquote>

[O'Neill stops and turns to Friesen.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I have to go blow something up. Head on back to the pel'tac, see if Jacob needs any help.</blockquote>

[O'Neill heads down one corridor, Friesen goes in a different direction. Friesen then turns back, checks that O'Neill is nowhere to be seen and heads in the original direction that the two had been travelling.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR'''

[O'Neill attaches a C4 charge to the door as Carter and Davis look on.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Shall we?</blockquote>

[The three take cover as O'Neill detonates the charge.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
WOO! That was loud!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(loudly) 
What?</blockquote>

[The explosion has destroyed the door, and Carter, Davis and O'Neill step through.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Jacob, we're in.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP COMPUTER CORE'''

[Carter activates a mechanism which opens a cover, to reveal a futuristic machine. Davis looks at the machine.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
This is fantastic!</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks over to a bank of viewscreens.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, this is fantastic.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP ANOTHER CORRIDOR'''

[Friesen is walking down the corridor, reading the papers on his clipboard.]

<blockquote>FRIESEN 
Shield generators…</blockquote>

[He turns into a room, glowing with green light. He hears a footstep.]

<blockquote>FRIESEN 
Hello?</blockquote>

[He walks toward the sound, there is also a blue light effect coming from the same direction.]

<blockquote>FRIESEN 
Colonel O'Neill?</blockquote>

[As he turns towards one of the corridors, he is faced with three Ninja Jaffa. The lead Jaffa brandishes a sword, while the other two are armed with staff weapons.]

'''INT—CARGO SHIP'''

[Teal'c and Jonas are in the cargo ship, Jonas slumped in his seat, looking bored. He removes a banana from his pocket. Teal'c looks across at Jonas as he begins peeling the banana.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Why would he bring me all the way out here, if I'm not gonna be allowed to contribute anything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This is your first mission. It may take some time for Colonel O'Neill to gain confidence in your abilities.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
So it was the same for you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
No, it was not.</blockquote>

[Jonas looks across at Teal'c, surprised.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Oh. You know I heard a rumor that uhh…I only got this assignment because Colonel O'Neill didn't want to have a Russian on the team.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Such rumors are meaningless.</blockquote>

[Jonas takes a bite of the banana.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
O'Neill would not have chosen you if he did not believe that one day you would be an effective member of SG-1.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Thanks, Teal'c! I really appreciate that.</blockquote>

[Teal'c stares out of the viewscreen.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
I mean, those of us who are not originally from the planet Earth…gotta stick together, right?</blockquote>

[Teal'c turns quickly to face Jonas, a forbidding look on his face.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Are you suggesting an alien conspiracy?</blockquote>

[Jonas, still eating the banana, shrugs, surprised.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
No!</blockquote>

[Teal'c continues to stare at Jonas.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Oho…</blockquote>

[Jonas laughs nervously.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Of course, yes. I…I was warned about your occasional use of humor. It's…</blockquote>

[Jonas laughs.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Got me!</blockquote>

[Teal'c is still staring at Jonas, unsmiling. Jonas looks across, notices Teal'c's seriousness, and stops smiling.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
No conspiracy!</blockquote>

[Teal'c turns away from Jonas.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP COMPUTER CORE'''

[Carter is kneeling on the floor, working on a laptop computer.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
The computer log confirms that this is the same ship that Thor was aboard.</blockquote>

[Davis is working on the computer core as O'Neill stands apart, looking on.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, it could explain a lot, Sir. Thor's brain was directly linked to this computer. Anubis may have grossly underestimated the power of an Asgard's mind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's possible that when his mind was linked, Thor was able to rewrite some of the ship's programming. Maybe even leave something behind.</blockquote>

[Davis looks up.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Like a virus?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Exactly. By interfering with everything from navigation to life support, a complex virus could have driven Anubis to abandon ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Might explain why the self-destruct got stuck.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
He could have generated a whole new subroutine that sent the ship to our Solar System after it was abandoned. Like a…a gift! I know it sounds a little wacky, Sir, but the more I think about it, the more it seems like the most reasonable explanation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
There's a little wishful thinking there, Major.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, if this ship wasn't ultimately intended for us to find, why did it travel half way across the galaxy all by itself? For that matter, why didn't the self destruct just go off?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Well, even if you're right, I mean, I really doubt that a virus is gonna know the difference between us and the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
There has to be a way to disable it somehow or Thor wouldn't have sent the ship here. 
(Into radio) 
Dr. Friesen, this is Major Carter. We could use your assistance in the computer core.</blockquote>

[Getting no answer, O'Neill rolls his eyes.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Friesen, come in!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Into radio) 
Dad, have you seen Doctor Friesen?</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Into radio) 
Negative.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP COMPUTER CORE'''

[O'Neill grimaces and smiles at Carter.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You scientists. Stay here, I'll find him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's a big ship, Sir.</blockquote>

[O'Neill heads for the doorway.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I think I know where he went.</blockquote>

[Both Davis and Carter kneel next to the computer core. As the garbled computerised voice again comes over the intercom, Davis stands and looks around.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
It's coming out of the ship's intercom.</blockquote>

[Carter looks puzzled.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What is?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
The sound we keep hearing. You hear that? It's a…there's…there's a pattern to it, almost like distorted words.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Let's check it out.</blockquote>

[Davis again joins Carter at the computer core.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP ANOTHER CORRIDOR'''

[As O'Neill walks towards the room housing the shield generators, he slows down and checks the adjoining corridor. As he turns the corner into the room, he sees Friesen's body on the floor. He checks Friesen's pulse.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Quietly into radio) 
Carter. I want you and Davis back in the pel'tak with Jacob.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP COMPUTER CORE'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Into radio) 
What's going on, Sir?</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP GENERATOR ROOM'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Friesen's dead.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

[Jacob hears O'Neill's transmission.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP COMPUTER CORE'''

[Carter and Davis look at each other, then arm themselves and slowly stand. They make their way out of the room.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP GENERATOR ROOM'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Jacob, come in.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

[A staff blast suddenly hits Jacob in the back, and he topples to the ground, unconscious. Two of the Ninja Jaffa are standing in the doorway, one having just shot Jacob. They make their way to the control panel.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP GENERATOR ROOM'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Jacob, do you read?</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

[One of the Jaffa works at the control panel, and appears to activate something. The leave the room, with Jacob still lying unconscious on the floor.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP GENERATOR ROOM'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Over radio) 
Jacob, come in. Jacob?</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR'''

[O'Neill carefully walks along the corridor, checking around corners. As he turns down another corridor, he runs into Carter and Davis. Carter has her gun raised towards him, but lowers it as she sees that it's O'Neill. O'Neill motions for Carter and Davis to follow him along the corridor.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

[O'Neill, Carter and Davis enter, immediately seeing Jacob lying on the floor. O'Neill motions Carter towards Jacob.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Dad!</blockquote>

[Carter and Davis go to Jacob while O'Neill checks out the rest of the room. Carter helps Jacob to his feet, while Davis stands, noticing something out of the viewscreen. He moves to the control panel.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Colonel, we've got another problem.</blockquote>

[Jacob is standing, though obviously in pain. He waves Carter away.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
I'll live. Go, go, go.</blockquote>

[Carter joins Davis at the control panel.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We're decelerating out of orbit and they've disabled the drive controls. Sir, we've got no way of altering course. We're going to crash.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Teal'c, come in.</blockquote>

'''INT—CARGO SHIP'''

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Into radio) 
O'Neill, you are approaching Earth's atmosphere.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(into radio) 
Yeah, you know, we noticed that! You're gonna haveta ring us outta here.</blockquote>

'''INT—CARGO SHIP'''

[Teal'c nods at Jonas.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Into radio) 
Standing by.</blockquote>

[Both Teal'c and Jonas rise and head to the ring room. As Jonas gets there, the rings are activated. He turns his back on the rings, but turns round in time to see the three Ninja Jaffa who have ringed onto the ship. He gasps and is grabbed from behind by Teal'c, who pulls him behind a wall. The Jaffa shoot the ring control panel. Teal'c zats one of the Jaffa and moves to the opposite side of the doorway. He zats another Jaffa but the third leader makes it to the doorway. Teal'c grabs the staff weapon from him, hits him with the zat then fires the zat. Jonas appears in the doorway and activates his zat. Teal'c collects the staff weapons dropped by the Jaffa. Jonas lowers his weapon and sighs.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's no use. I estimate impact between five hundred and a thousand miles west south west of Alaska.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
The amount of energy released at impact would be massive. There could be a tidal wave.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Raise the shields, set inertial dampening to maximum. That way the ship should survive in one piece.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Done. That's all I can do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Teal'c, we're heading into the ring room.</blockquote>

[O'Neill heads for the doorway as Carter helps Jacob.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Wait, wait, wait.</blockquote>

[O'Neill gestures for the others to stop.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Teal'c?</blockquote>

'''INT—CARGO SHIP'''

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Into radio) 
O'Neill, we have been attacked by Jaffa from the mothership.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

[Jacob, held up by Carter, Carter and O'Neill grimace.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
What's your situation?</blockquote>

'''INT—CARGO SHIP'''

[Teal'c looks back to Jonas who is standing in the ring room doorway.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They are no longer a threat to us, but the ship has been damaged.</blockquote>

[The ring room control panel is damaged and smoking.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The crystals that allow us to receive ring transmissions have been destroyed and there is insufficient time to dock aboard the mothership.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

[O'Neill, Carter, Davis and Jacob turn to the viewscreen, where the planet is obviously nearing.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, I guess we're going in.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM—NIGHTTIME'''

[A monitor shows the mothership's course into the ocean.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The official line is that early this morning, 
(He's on the phone) 
at approximately 0800 hours, NORAD tracked a meteor as it entered the Earth's atmosphere, and landed somewhere in the North Pacific.</blockquote>

[Hammond is talking on the phone. The Briefing Room is full of computers and personnel. Walter Davis is manning one of the computers.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
So far, no word from the Chinese government, but I'm sure we'll be hearing from them soon enough.</blockquote>

[Teal'c and Jonas enter. Hammond acknowledges them with a nod.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
As for the Russians, I have a call going through to Colonel Chekov in about 10 minutes…Yes, Sir. I'll be keeping you apprised of any further developments.</blockquote>

[Hammond hangs up the phone and turns to Teal'c and Jonas. Teal'c has walked over to a large-screen display of the mothership.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Gentlemen! It's good to have you back. We've located the mothership. Sonar readings suggest that it's still intact.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Then they may still be alive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We're proceeding under that assumption.</blockquote>

[Hammond hands a report to Jonas.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
There's a Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle on route from Pearl Harbor. But we still have to figure out how the crew's going to access the mothership.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
A mothership's escape pods are jettisoned through pressurized tubes. It may be possible that one of them could be used as a point of access.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That sounds like our best shot.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
General, with your permission, Teal'c and I would like to join the rescue operation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
There's a plane waiting.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Thank you, Sir.</blockquote>

[Teal'c nods at Hammond as he and Jonas leave.]

'''EXT—A ROAD—NIGHTTIME'''

[Two army vehicles are driving down the road. Teal'c and Jonas are in one of them, with Teal'c driving.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
I should have been with them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Do you believe you could have prevented this from happening?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Maybe. You don't think so?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It was an ambush. I believe your presence would have made little difference.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Like on the Cargo Ship?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You could not have known those Jaffa would ring aboard ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah. I stood there! You saved my life like Dr. Jackson did back on my planet. I didn't do a thing!</blockquote>

[Teal'c looks at Jonas, eyebrow raised. Jonas sighs.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is my understanding that it was largely your idea that lead to the successful disposal of the other Stargate before it could be detonated.</blockquote>

[Teal'c looks across at Jonas.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You saved the lives of millions.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah, that was different. That was an intellectual exercise. I'm talking about knowing what you can do in the heat of the moment when there is no time to think.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
One can never be certain until the opportunity presents itself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
So far, my track record is not great.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Perhaps that is so.</blockquote>

[Teal'c again look across at Jonas.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
But there are many battles left to be fought, JonasQuinn.</blockquote>

[Jonas looks at Teal'c, who nods. Both turn to the front.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

[O'Neill and Jacob are sitting on the steps leading to the throne. Jacob is cradling his left arm close to his body.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How are you doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Aside from the burns, I got a broken collarbone. Selmak's working on it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You know, for guys with no life signs, those Jaffa did a bit of damage.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
They must have been trapped in the section of the ship that was sealed off. To stay alive as long as possible, they would have gone into a deep state of Kel-no-reem,slowing down their heartrate to one or two beats per minute. In that condition, the cargo ship's senses weren't sensitive enough to pick them up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Think there are any more running around?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
I doubt it. My guess is the three that attacked me were on the computer core level. I let them out when I opened the door to allow Sam inside.</blockquote>

[Carter and Davis enter the control room.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, we've got life support operating at fifty percent. It won't be too comfortable in here, but at least we won't freeze to death…right away.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Can we fix the engines?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Not a chance, and that's not our only problem.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We found evidence of structural damage on the lower levels. Probably a result of the impact.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
How bad?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm not sure. The exterior pressure's pretty severe, especially on the lower levels of this ship. It wouldn't take much to compromise the hull.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, help'll be on the way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
There's also the matter of the self-destruct sequence frozen half way through its countdown.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You haven't turned that off yet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, Sir. And I'm not sure we should even try.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, first the door to the computer core was locked, and then when the Jaffa tried to blast their way in, the entire section was sealed off and life support was shut down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
By who? O'NEILL 
It's whom.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Actually, Sir, it's more like what.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
The virus Thor left behind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Exactly. What if it was trying to defend itself?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
So Thor leaves behind a virus that forces Anubis to abandon his ship, and then this virus defends itself against the Jaffa Anubis left behind to blow this ship?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Or…maybe it was left here so we could find it. Sir, with your permission, I'd like to return to the computer core.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'll go with you.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Walter Davis and Siler at sitting at monitors, Hammond is standing with a Naval officer, looking over plans.]

<blockquote>WALTER DAVIS 
Sir, we've just got word from the task force. The DSRV's in the water.</blockquote>

[An underwater picture of the DSRV is shown.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR'''

[O'Neill and Carter walk around a corner as the garbled computerised noise again comes over the intercom.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Major Davis is right. It is definitely coming through the ship's intercom. Maybe the virus is trying to talk to us.</blockquote>

[They arrive at a closed door. A small puddle of water has trickled from underneath the door. O'Neill walks up to the puddle and steps in it.] O'NEILL 
What the hey?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Into radio) 
Dad, we've got evidence of flooding here.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>JACOB

[Jacob tries to rise from the steps, holding his left shoulder. Davis helps him to his feet. They both make their way to the control panel. Jacob brings up the ship's schematic on the viewscreen.]

<blockquote>JACOB

There's been a hull breach on the engineering level.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR'''

[O'Neill looks at Carter, puzzled.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Into radio) 
We're nowhere near engineering.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>JACOB

It looks like seawater penetrated into the central access shaft, and now the pressure's pushing it up through the core of the ship. We're flooding from the inside.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR'''

[Both O'Neill and Carter look concerned. Suddenly, the door behind them begins to close.]

<blockquote>CARTER

[Carter heads for the door control panel. She enters a code but the door remains closed.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Over radio) 
It's a security measure. All doors are sealed around the breach. I'll try to open it from here.</blockquote>

[The water level in the room rises quickly to ankle height.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Next time we crash our brand new mothership, what do you say we do it in the tropics?</blockquote>

[The water is at neck-height for Carter. Both are removing outer clothing.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Actually, Sir, it wouldn't make a difference. At this depth, all water is ice cold.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Shallower water, then…shallower.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, Sir. I'll keep that in mind.</blockquote>

Not yet. They're staying aboard for some reason.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

[Davis is working on a laptop computer. The garbled computerized noise is heard over the intercom. O'Neill and Carter are sitting on the throne steps, with Jacob and Jonas standing nearby.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
It's definitely a voice. Give me a second, I'll see if I can clean it up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Why would it be so distorted?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Anubis probably tried to shut it off.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, the security program that locked us in that corridor didn't just shut down by itself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
You think this virus Thor left in the ship's computer is acting intelligently?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
If that door hadn't have opened, Colonel O'Neill and I would have drowned.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
It knows who you are.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
I got it!</blockquote>

[The laptop monitor shows a pulse line, as a voice repeats over the intercom.]

<blockquote>THOR 
I am using the internal communication system to synthesize my voice…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Thor spoke the same words to O'Neill and I when we were imprisoned aboard this vessel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, maybe what we've been calling a virus isn't a virus at all. Maybe it's Thor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We got him off this ship months ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Not before Anubis was able to download his mind into the computer core. Now, if his consciousness remained intact, he would be an independent entity operating within the system.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
His mind took control of the vessel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Way to go, Thor!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, the Asgard said that Thor was on life support but there was little chance that he'd come out of it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, if we can download his consciousness from the computer, the Asgard can transfer it into a new cloned body.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
If that's what you want to do, Sam, you'd better move fast. The computer core isn't flooded yet, but it's only a matter of time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Wait a second. If Thor is really in control of this ship, then he is the only thing keeping the self-destruct on hold. We remove that consciousness, the countdown will start up again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(To Teal'c) 
How much time will we have left when the countdown resumes?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Approximately seventeen minutes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That gives us plenty of time to get out of here after we've got Thor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
I know Thor was a friend of yours, but this is a Goa'uld mothership! If we allow it to blow up, there'll be nothing left to salvage.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Jack, this ship us never going to fly again. I'd say having the Supreme Commander of the Asgard Fleet owe you one is more valuable.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah…all right! Next mothership, we keep, okay?! Jonas, take Davis and Jacob back to the Sub, wait for us there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Colonel, I'd like to assist Major Carter…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Jonas…</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I'll take them back to the sub.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP COMPUTER CORE'''

[Carter, O'Neill and Teal'c enter the room. Teal'c looks behind him suspiciously. Carter works on the computer, and another room is seen, rapidly filling with water. Carter removes a drive from the computer.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Here he is.</blockquote>

[Teal'c raises an eyebrow as O'Neill checks the now empty computer slot.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You sure you got all of him in there? He's a smart guy, you know?</blockquote>

[A Goa'uld computerised voice is heard over the intercom.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The self-destruct has been reactivated.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Let's go.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR'''

[They exit the room and head down a corridor. They come to a closed door.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This door should not be closed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Dang.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The corridor must have flooded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Jacob?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Over radio) 
Yeah, what's going on?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Our exit is blocked. We need another way around.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Over radio) 
Jack! All the other passageways into that section were already flooded. There is no other way around!</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>JACOB 
Jack, I'm going back to the Pel'Tac see if I can figure something out.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Negative. Get that sub to a safe distance, we'll think of something.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Into radio) 
Understood.</blockquote>

[Jacob nods to Davis and Jonas. All three head off down the corridor at a run.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I got nothing. 
(To Carter) 
How are you doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, there's only one other way off this level.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The glider bays.</blockquote>

[Carter nods in agreement. O'Neill turns from Carter to Teal'c]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We can do that?</blockquote>

[Carter shakes her head.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I have no idea.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks from Carter to Teal'c, who does not react.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay.</blockquote>

[O'Neill, Carter and Teal'c walk away from the closed door.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP EMBARKATION ROOM'''

[Davis, Jonas and Jacob run into the room.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
(To seaman) 
The ship's self-destruct has been activated. We need to get the DSRV as far away as possible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Into radio) 
Jack, we're at the sub. What's your status?</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR TO GLIDER BAY'''

[O'Neill, Carter and Teal'c come upon another closed door. Carter puts the computer drive containing Thor aside.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Here's our plan, Jacob. We're going to take a couple of gliders.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Over radio) 
Jack, a glider isn't designed to operate underwater.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Into radio) 
It's our only shot.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP EMBARKATION ROOM'''

<blockquote>JACOB 
Uh, all right, all right.</blockquote>

[Jacob rubs his forehead, as Jonas stands, listening.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
Umm…you'll have to activate the compartment's forcefield to stop the flooding. Now, those systems went off-line after the crash.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR TO GLIDER BAY'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
I know. I'm trying to reroute the power from here.</blockquote>

[Carter is working at a panel, removing and replacing crystal modules.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP EMBARKATION ROOM'''

<blockquote>JONAS 
What is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Glider bays have forcefields that allow ships to go in and out without having to depressurize the compartment. If she can't get it online, she won't be able to open the doors without flooding the hanger.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Right!</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Into radio) 
Sam?</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR TO GLIDER BAY'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Jacob, I want you to get that sub to a minimum safe distance.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP EMBARKATION ROOM'''

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Into radio) 
Understood. 
(To Jonas) 
Let's go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
There's an auxiliary control panel on this deck. I could reroute the power from there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
How do you know?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Cause I've gone over the schematics of these motherships a dozen times, and I'm a very quick study.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
Yeah? Well, where is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Don't wait for me.</blockquote>

[Jonas heads down the corridor at a run.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
Right, now…Jonas!</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR TO GLIDER BAY'''

[Carter is still rearranging the crystal modules as O'Neill and Teal'c look on.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No pressure, Carter.</blockquote>

[O'Neill pats Carter on the shoulder.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Plenty of time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
On the contrary, O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Lots and lots…</blockquote>

[O'Neill glares at Teal'c and makes the cutthroat gesture.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
…of time!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Over radio) 
Jack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Jacob, will you please get out of here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Over radio) 
We are, but Jonas went off to try to get the forcefield online from a relay panel on this deck. Listen…good luck!</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR TO AUXILIARY CONTROL ROOM'''

[Jonas runs up to a closed door. He removes his outer vest and jacket. He enters a code on the control panel of an opened doorway to close the door and also enters a code on the panel of the already closed door. He removes his shoes and holds onto the doorframe.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Okay!</blockquote>

[Jonas takes a couple of deep breaths as he punches the final code into the panel. The door mechanism is heard, and the sound of water.]

'''INT—OCEAN'''

[The DSRV detaches from the mothership and turns to leave.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR TO GLIDER BAY'''

[Carter looks up from the control panel as the computerized Goa'uld voice again comes over the intercom.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What'd he say?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We are being advised that in approximately seven minutes, the ship will be destroyed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah, see?</blockquote>

[O'Neill again pats Carter's shoulder.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Plenty of time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This terminal isn't tied into the primary system. I can't reroute the power from here.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR TO AUXILIARY CONTROL ROOM'''

[The corridor is quickly filling with water. Jonas is holding onto the doorframe, taking deep breaths. As the water reaches his chin, he dives underwater. He swims under the opening door to the control panel. He rearranges some crystal modules, then presses a couple of buttons that illuminate.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR TO GLIDER BAY'''

[The panel that Carter is working on illuminates.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Forcefield just came online.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nice!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It wasn't me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Jonas.</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR TO AUXILIARY CONTROL ROOM'''

[Jonas, still underwater, swims to another control panel and activates it. He swims away from the walls and floats upright. Suddenly, transportation rings are activated around him. The rings reappear in an unflooded section. Jonas drops to the floor, engulfed by water that was ringed down with him. He gasps for air, then rises.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR TO GLIDER BAY'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay</blockquote>

[Carter moves to the door's control panel and punches in a code. The glider bay door opens. They are about to step through as Jonas comes running down the corridor towards them.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Wait! Wait! Did it work?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're about to find out.</blockquote>

[O'Neill, Carter, Teal'c and Jonas step into the glider bay.]

'''EXT—OCEAN'''

[The DSRV is moving away from the mothership.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP GLIDER BAY'''

[Teal'c and Carter step into a glider, with Teal'c in the pilot seat.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Powering engines.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Jonas step into another glider, with O'Neill in the pilot seat. O'Neill powers up the glider.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Listen, if we don't survive this…thanks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
You're welcome.</blockquote>

'''INT—TEAL'C AND CARTER'S GLIDER'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
Opening glider bay doors.</blockquote>

[The bay doors open. The forcefield is in place. Both glider hatches close.]

'''INT—O'NEILL AND JONAS' GLIDER'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nice!</blockquote>

[Both gliders take off, though the flight is bumpy.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hang on!</blockquote>

[An explosion occurs behind them, and as the gliders fly out of the water another, larger, explosion, comes up from the sea.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Wo-Ho!</blockquote>

[Carter and Teal'c's glider appears alongside.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Everybody all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Over radio) 
Yes, Sir. We're fine.</blockquote>

[Carter and Teal'c's glider peels away.]

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Over radio) 
This is Jacob. We're a little seasick down here, but we're in one piece, too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Glad to hear it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JACOB 
(Over radio) 
What about Jonas?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
All members of SG-1 present and accounted for.</blockquote>

[Jonas is looking around, grinning.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Into radio) 
Teal'c, take lead.</blockquote>

'''INT—TEAL'C AND SAM'S GLIDER'''

[Teal'c salutes, and sharply peels away.]

'''INT—O'NEILL AND JONAS' GLIDER'''

[Jonas is still grinning.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Are you smiling?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
First time in a death glider.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh! Well…</blockquote>

[O'Neill does a roll, startling Jonas who grabs at the glider hatch. Stunned, Jonas shakes away the dizziness as O'Neill smirks. The two gliders fly into the distance.]

'''TEASER'''

'''FADE IN'''

<blockquote>VOICEOVER 
Previously on Stargate SG-1.</blockquote>

'''Scenes from Redemption I'''

[The X-302 is being wheeled onto a runway.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
The X-302 will be the first human built spacecraft capable of intersteller travel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(to O'Neill) 
Colonel Chekov feels a Russian officer should be assigned to join SG-1.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Over my rotting corpse, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(to Carter) 
I want to join you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I just don't see it happening.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(to O'Neill and Hammond) 
We detected an energy buildup within the Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAFFA 
(Offworld, to Teal'c and Bratac) 
The Tauri are in danger. They are under attack from Anubis.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(to O'Neill and Hammond) 
We're talking about a blast two to three thousand megatons.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There's worse?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We have no idea how to stop it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
If the X-302 fails, this planet will be destroyed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(climbing into the X-302, to O'Neill) 
Even if we do manage to contact the Asguard, there's a chance they won't be able to help us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRATAC 
(Off-world, to Teal'c) 
Anubis has grown powerful, but still, only defends a small handfull of planets. If one of those stargates also can not be contacted…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
…It is most likely, the origin of the attack.</blockquote>

[The X-302 flies towards a hyperspace window, but misses.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(over speaker) 
Mission command, we missed the window.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(to Hammond and Dr. McKay) 
We thought we'd compensated for the energy fluctuations emitted by the Naquadria, but apparently not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Bottom line is, we're on our own.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HOLOGRAPHIC IMAGE OF ANUBIS 
Prepare to meet your doom!!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, please!</blockquote>

'''END FLASHBACKS'''

'''INT—SCG'''

[Carter and McKay are walking up the stairs to the briefing room.]

<blockquote>McKAY 
He has a real flair for the dramatic, doesn't he? Very theatrical.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah. Pretty much all the Goa'uld are like that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
But, why wait? Why does this guy show up a day and a half after this all starts to do his whole "Prepare to meet your doom" thing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't know. Maybe he wanted to make sure it was gonna work.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

<blockquote>McKAY 
Yeah, that would be embarrasing, wouldn't it? "Nothing can stop the destruction that I bring upon you!" Then the Gate shuts down. "Oops, sorry. Nevermind…"</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, well, that didn't happen, and we only have…54 hours left.</blockquote>

[The briefing room is full of monitors and technicians. One of the monitors is counting down the hours.]

<blockquote>SCIENTIST #1 
Major, can I see you for a second? When the Gate was connected to the black hole, a shaped charge was used to disengage the wormhole.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SCIENTIST #2 
Yes, but that was an outgoing wormhole.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SCIENTIST #1 
True, but, it's possible…</blockquote>

<blockquote>SCIENTIST #2 
The blast would detonate the Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
Wait a minute…</blockquote>

<blockquote>SCIENTIST #1 
If you'd just let me finish!</blockquote>

[McKay walks over to the observation window.]

<blockquote>McKAY 
No, you're both horribly wrong, both of you, but you gave me an idea. We know that certain waves can travel in both directions through a wormhole. Uh, radio signals, for one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, what? We call Anubis up and ask him to stop?</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
Yeah, "Hey, Anubis, this is you agent, you're playing it way over the top, can you get serious, please?"</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You were saying?</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
We send a massive EM pulse back through the wormhole, knock out whatever it is that's making this happen on the other end.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Will that work?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, Sir. I already thought of it, and the reason I didn't mention it is because it is far too problematic.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
More so than the Gate exploding?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The Iris would have to be opened.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
Well, the Gate room's shielded, isn't it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Major, are you saying this absolutely won't work?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What I'm saying, Sir, is that we have absolutely no idea how much EM would be required to knock this thing out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
So, let's all just go home.</blockquote>

[Carter rolls her eyes at McKay's comment.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How long will it take to set up?</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
Four hours, tops.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(to Carter) 
That's how long you have to come up with a better idea.</blockquote>

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''EXT—CHULAK STARGATE'''

[Bra'tac is dialling the Gate as Rya'c, Shaq'rel and Teal'c look at the Stargate. At the end of the dialling sequence, the Gate does not connect.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
I have tried to connect to this world twice now. It is the only one to which I can not make contact.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Than we must hope that is the location of the weapon.</blockquote>

[As Teal'c starts to walk away from the DHD, Rya'c stops him.]

<blockquote>RYA'C 
I'm coming with you. If the Goa'uld truly can be defeated, then I wish to be a part of it. You said I could not judge this war if I am yet to fight a battle. You've trained me. Now let me fight.</blockquote>

[Teal'c and Bra'tac look at each other, considering Rya'c's words.]

<blockquote>RYA'C 
You said you did not doubt me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I do not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
Then I will join you.</blockquote>

[Teal'c studies Rya'c, then turns to Bra'tac who nods briefly.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Be quick!</blockquote>

[Bra'tac and Shaq'rel walk away.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(to Ryac) 
Very well.</blockquote>

[Teal'c and Rya'c follow the others.]

'''INT—SGC—HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

[Carter walks into Hammond's office carrying a laptop computer. Hammond is sitting behind his desk with O'Neill standing in front of the desk.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sirs. I've calculated that opening the iris will increase the flow of energy to the Gate by at least 10 times. Now, if this doesn't work, we'll be cutting as much as half the remaining time before the Gate detonates.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No…better idea yet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Major, I know you and Dr. McKay don't see eye to eye…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, this has nothing to do…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I believe if this plan has any chance of working, it's with your co-operation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

[Carter nods, picks up the laptop and leaves, clearly not happy. O'Neill and Hammond exchange looks.]

'''INT—GOA'ULD CARGO SHIP'''

[Ry'ac removes a Goa'uld grenade from a crate and puts it into a bag. Teal'c checks the bag. Bra'tac is standing behind them, checking a zat gun,]

<blockquote>RYA'C 
I know what I'm doing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHAQ'REL 
We are approaching the planet.</blockquote>

[The cargo ship come out of hyperspace, and is quickly cloaked. Teal'c, Bra'tac and Rya'c join Shaq'rel to look out at the planet. They see five ships around the planet.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
It is heavily guarded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
That is a good sign that we have the correct location of the weapon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHAQ'REL 
There are rings on the surface.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
We must hope to catch any Jaffa on the ground by surprise.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC—GATE ROOM'''

[Sgt. Siler and McKay are standing on the ramp, measuring the distance from the Gate. A large EM pulse generator is at the base of the ramp.]

<blockquote>McKAY 
Right here.</blockquote>

[McKay walks down the ramp as Carter walks around the pulse generator.]

<blockquote>McKAY 
You just want to be able to take credit for it when it works.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
For the record, I hate you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
Well, it can't get any worse, then, can it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh, no. I'm rapidly working up to despise.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
You know, we're obviously gonna have to get over this whole physical attraction thing if we're going to work together.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I think I can act as though it never existed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
Shall we save the world?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Before I take the credit for this. Shouldn't the EM pulse generator be pointed at the Gate?</blockquote>

[McKay points at Carter and smiles.]

<blockquote>McKAY 
You're good! Very good!</blockquote>

[Carter smiles and points back at McKay as they both turn away. The EM pulse generator is then turned around towards the Gate.]

'''INT—GOA'ULD CARGO SHIP'''

[Teal'c walks up to Ry'ac and draws him away from the others.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Ryac. You are to remain on board with Shaq'rel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
One day, you will be a great warrior. This day, the danger is too great.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
I am prepared to die.</blockquote>

[Teal'c smiles and caresses the side of Rya'c's head.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am not prepared for you to die.</blockquote>

[An explosion is heard, and the craft shudders.]

<blockquote>SHAQ'REL 
Two gliders in pursuit.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
How is that possible? Are we not cloaked?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Anubis must now have means of detecting cloaked ships.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHAQ'REL 
I am decloaking, and diverting power to shields.</blockquote>

[As they de-cloak they are hit again by the chasing ship.]

<blockquote>SHAQ'REL 
Entering range of service rings.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Teal'c.</blockquote>

[Bra'tac walks to the transporter platform.]

<blockquote>RYA'C 
Is it not equally dangerous on this ship as it will be on the planet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHAQ'REL 
Go! I will do my best to return for you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Come. Stay close to me. The forces on the ground may have been alerted to our presence.</blockquote>

[Teal'c and Bra'tac arm themselves with staff weapons, while Rya'c holds a zat gun. They stand on the platform, back to back.]

<blockquote>SHAQ'REL 
Chel'Nok</blockquote>

[The transport rings activate and Teal'c, Bra'tac and Rya'c are transported to the planet.]

'''EXT—UNKNOWN PLANET'''

<blockquote>JAFFA 
Identify yourselves!</blockquote>

[Bra'tac throw a grenade at the approaching Jaffa before all three stand and fight off the attacking Jaffa. Many of the Jaffa are hit before Ry'ac is shot in the shoulder by a staff weapon blast. Teal'c upends and kills the Jaffa who shot his son as he and Bra'tac go to Rya'c and help him up.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
We must move.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC—GATE ROOM'''

[The EM pulse generator is being moved up the ramp. Carter and McKay are checking it.]

<blockquote>McKAY 
That's it!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We're ready, Sir.</blockquote>

[Carter and McKay walk off the ramp and leae the Gate room. Hammond and Sgt. Davis are in the Control Room.]

'''INT—SGC—CONTROL ROOM'''

[Carter and McKay enter the Control Room. Carter sits at one of the monitors.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Close the blast doors.</blockquote>

[The doors close, and the pulse generator starts up.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Open the iris.</blockquote>

[Carter opens the iris using her handprint.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Energy transfer is increasing. Seven times greater…eight…ten…</blockquote>

[Hammond looks at McKay.]

<blockquote>McKAY 
Go. Yeah, go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(to Davis) 
Do it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SGT. DAVIS 
Activating electromagnetic pulse.</blockquote>

[The pulse generator's mechanisms start turning and the Gate's event horizon shimmers. All the monitors shut off in the control room and those inside are unable to see the Gate room.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Energy transfer is still increasing. Look, if this was gonna work…</blockquote>

[Energy beams come out of the Gate, hitting the EM generator, the entry blast doors and the blast door to the Control Room. The energy enters the Control Room causing those inside to duck away as equipment explodes.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Close the iris!</blockquote>

[Carter puts her hand on the handplate to close the iris, gets shocked and falls back. McKay looks down at her, shocked. The iris finally closes, shutting off the energy beams.]

<blockquote>SGT. DAVIS 
We're offline!</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
She's not gonna be happy when she wakes up, is she?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(into intercom) 
Medical team to the control room.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
She is gonna wake up, isn't she?</blockquote>

[Sgt. Siler checks Carter's pulse as she lies unconscious.]

'''EXT—UNKNOWN PLANET'''

[A number of Jaffa walk past a hidden Bra'tac. He makes his way back to Teal'c and Rya'c.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
The path is well traveled. We must stay undercover. Many gliders patrol the skies.</blockquote>

[Teal'c, crouched next to Rya'c, has his hand on his son's arm.]

<blockquote>TEAl'C 
This wound is not small. You must be in great pain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
Nothing I cannot bear.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You could easily be dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
I do not understand. There was at least eight of them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Ten.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
How did neither of you get hit?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is always more difficult to hit a moving target.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
It is also helpful to be lucky.</blockquote>

[Teal'c turns to Bra'tac, smiling slightly then looks up as a glider is heard passing overhead.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
There is little time to waste.</blockquote>

[The three move away from their hiding place.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Carter is sitting on a bed watching a nurse bandaging her hand. She winces in pain as the nurse manipulates her hand. McKay stops in the doorway, sees Carter and enters the infirmary. He walks towards Carter as the nurse moves away.]

<blockquote>McKAY 
Hi.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh, man, and I was just starting to feel better.</blockquote>

[McKay sits on a bed opposite Carter.]

<blockquote>McKAY 
Are you gonna be OK?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
At least until the Gate explodes, yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
Look, I…I didn't…I never meant for anyone to get hurt. Much less you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's OK. We had to try something.</blockquote>

[McKay nods his head briefly but still looks uncomfortable.]

<blockquote>McKAY 
I always wanted to be a pianist.</blockquote>

[Carter looks up, surprised. Note from transcriber McKay says the word "pianist" to sound like a part of the male anatomy.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Excuse me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
A concert pianist. You know, a guy who plays the piano in front of lots of people?</blockquote>

[Carter grins.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
What did you think I said?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Never mind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
I had a not-so-comfortable childhood. My parents hated each other, blamed me. Music…was my salvation. It had this…perfect order for me.</blockquote>

[Carter smiles, appearing to be uncomfortable with the conversation.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's nice. Really.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
When I was twelve, my teacher told me to quit. A fine clinical player, he said, but no sense of the art whatsoever.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why are you telling me this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
I'm just…trying to bond.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
Hospital gowns turn me on.</blockquote>

[McKay smiles at Carter, embarrassed.]

<blockquote>McKAY 
I turned to science because I thought it would be different than music, but it isn't, it's just the same. It's just as much of an art as anything else.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Look, it's not your fault that EM pulse didn't work.

McKAY 
You're an artist, Major. Maybe the best I've ever seen. I'm just critical because I'm jealous.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm touched. Really. Wish I had a brilliant plan to draw up for you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
And you're funny, too. Even electrocuted. Me, I got…I've got nothing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You're creeping me out, McKay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
It's just self preservation, see? I'm beginning to realize that I'm not gonna solve this, and that one of your typically insane ideas is probably gonna be our best chance.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How much time until detonation?</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
You were right. We cut it almost in half.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
25 hours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
What now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, first, I thought I'd get dressed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
Right.</blockquote>

[McKay doesn't move.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Leave.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
Right.</blockquote>

[McKay stands]

<blockquote>McKAY 
Do you want me to…hold anything, or…</blockquote>

[Carter stands up from the bed.]

<blockquote>McKAY 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[As McKay leaves, Carter winces in pain, holds her hand, sniggers, and sits back down.]

'''EXT—UNKNOWN PLANET'''

[Bra'tac, Teal'c and Rya'c are stealthily running through underbrush. As they reach a vantage point a glider flies overhead. Anubis's weapon is housed in a large open area, encircled by huge edifices which are seemingly linked by a beam. In the center, the weapon is shooting an energy beam towards the opened stargate.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
This weapon is unlike any Goa'uld design I have seen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I have seen a similar construction before. It appears to have been built by the Ancients.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
Who are they?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
An advanced race of beings who, long ago, created the stargates.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
But I thought the…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The Goa'uld steal the technology and claim it as their own.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
If this is not Goa'uld technology, then Anubis has mearly learned to operate it, then…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Perhaps by destroying it, he will not be able to rebuilt it quickly.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
But do we have sufficient explosives?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
That does not concern you. You are to remain here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
But, I…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You are injured. You will slow our pace, and risk giving us away.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
But my symbiote heals me. I can go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Ry'ac, listen to him. This is but one of many battles to be fought.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Remain here until sundown. We will try to return before then.</blockquote>

[Teal'c and Bra'tac move away, leaving Rya'c.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

<blockquote>SCIENTIST # 1 
If we encase the Gate in trinium alloy, it could reduce the effects of the explosion by as much as forty percent.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SCIENTIST # 2 
There isn't time to implement that plan! If we detonate the Gate ourselves, right now, we could reduce the eventual damage by as much as twenty percent.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SCIENTIST # 1 
Well, the damage to the planet's atmosphere would still be irreversable. Any survivors would be stuck on a world incapable of sustaining life as we know it.</blockquote>

[Carter walks away from them towards McKay, who is looking down at the Gate room.]

<blockquote>SCIENTIST # 2 
So far we've been unsucessful in our attempts to reduce…</blockquote>

[The Scientists' discussion goes on in the background.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What are you thinking?</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
Besides the fact that these guys are morons? What do you think the little Alien guy's doing down there?</blockquote>

[Carter looks down into the Gate room. Jonas is standing on the ramp, drinking from a mug with a journal in his other hand. He is looking at the Gate.]

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[Carter joins Jonas on the ramp.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I bet you regret coming here now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Can't really look at it that way, can we?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, what are you doing? JONAS 
You know, it's the stupidest thing, but it's been bugging me since I got here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What's that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
We're inside a mountain. The Gate obviously can't fit through any of these doors…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, how did we get it in here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The ceiling retracts.</blockquote>

[Carter points to the ceiling.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Above it is a shaft that leads to the surface, and inside is a crane mechanism that hoisted the Gate down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Interesting.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Does it go up?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Moving the Gate won't shut it off. I mean there is nowhere on Earth that…</blockquote>

[Carter pauses, obviously thinking, then smiles.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
I knew you'd think of something.</blockquote>

[Carter pats him on the back and runs out of the Gate room.]

'''EXT—UNKNOWN PLANET'''

[Teal'c and Bra'tac are heading to the weapon, but Teal'c hits a shield.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This shield most likely extends around the peremiter of the weapon.</blockquote>

[Bra'tac looks around.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
The path.</blockquote>

[They head back the way that they came.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[The room is full of scientists, as well as Jonas, Hammond and McKay.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Just hear me out, people. All we need to do is get it far enough away from Earth. Now, the X-302 can still achieve that without having to enter hyperspace.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
See, now that's crazy!</blockquote>

<blockquote>SCIENTIST # 2 
We have less than 24 hours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Two hours to get the Gate to the surface, four to get it to Peterson and loaded onto a C-17, and two more to fly it to Area 51. A 747 meets us in Nevada, which leaves us 16 hours to get the whole rig mounted and airborne, and none of this is gonna happen if we're all just standing around here. I think that this is gonna save the planet, and…we are gonna do it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Move, people!</blockquote>

[The Scientists move away]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well done, Major.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It wasn't all my idea, Sir, and I dare say it's not done yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Right.</blockquote>

[Hammond turns to leave.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, you do realize that if this works, we won't have a Stargate anymore.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It did occur to me.</blockquote>

[Hammond and McKay leave, as Jonas and Carter share uncertain smiles.]

'''EXT—UNKNOWN PLANET'''

[Two Jaffa appear, but are shot by Teal'c and Bra'tac who head off along the path.]

<blockquote>JAFFA 
Drop you weapons</blockquote>

[Suddenly, more Jaffa appear. Teal'c and Bra'tac, outnumbered, surrender.]

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[Carter and Siler are at the top of the ramp, studing the Gate's iris.]

<blockquote>SILER 
(via microphone) 
Yeah, this is Sergeant Siler. We're ready. Activate the crane.</blockquote>

[The Gate starts rising towards an opening in the ceiling.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

<blockquote>CHEKOV 
I have been instructed by my superiors to offer you the following compromise. In exchange for your continued co-operation, and full disclosure of the X-302 technology, we are willing to facilitate the use of our stargate.</blockquote>

[Hammond is standing at a monitor, looking down at the rising stargate. The monitor shows 22 hours and 16 minutes left on the clock.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Facilitate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHEKOV 
A financial arrangement to be negotiated.</blockquote>

[Hammond turns away from the window to face Chekov.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You want us to rent it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHEKOV 
A simplistic way of putting it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The X-302's hyperspace technology doesn't work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHEKOV 
It will someday. Obviously, the reason why I am here in the first place is because my government is unwilling to incur the expense and risk of running a Stargate program such as this. We are simply trying…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Here's the part you obviously don't understand. Even if, and I stress "if" we are able to sucessfully dispose of this Gate, there's nothing to stop Anubis from starting all this over again with the second Gate. No one's going to be running a Stargate program, Colonel. The second Gate has to stay buried.</blockquote>

[Hammond leaves as Chekov shows his frustration.]

'''EXT—UNKNOWN PLANET—NIGHTTIME'''

[A Jaffa studies a grenade as Teal'c is led to him and made to kneel.]

<blockquote>JAFFA 
What did you hope to accomplish here? Did you really think you could destroy something created by a god as powerful as Anubis?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He did not create the weapon, and he is not a god.</blockquote>

[The Jaffa slaps Teal'c.]

<blockquote>JAFFA 
Your god may have been weak, Shol'Va! Mine is not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If you know of me, then you know of our cause. The Jaffa rebellion grows strong. All Goa'uld are false gods, and their only real power come from the Jaffa whom they oppress.</blockquote>

[The Jaffa strikes Teal'c again, then primes his staff weapon and aims it at Teal'c.]

<blockquote>JAFFA 
The next time you open your mouth to speak, it will be to answer my questions.</blockquote>

[He switches off the staff weapon.]

<blockquote>JAFFA 
You did not kill all the Jaffa at the rings. We know there are three of you. Where's the boy?</blockquote>

[Teal'c refuses to answer, simply staring at the Jaffa, who smirks.]

<blockquote>JAFFA 
Evidence of how desperate your pathetic little rebellion is. You bring a boy to fight the war of men.</blockquote>

[Teal'c lunges at the Jaffa but is held back by the others.]

<blockquote>JAFFA 
Or is it something else? Maybe he is someone to whom you wish to prove yourself.</blockquote>

[The Jaffa stares intently at Teal'c.]

<blockquote>JAFFA 
Bring me the old man. Cover the boy so he will not escape. Unlike you, he is of little value to Anubis. However, on your behalf, I'll be happy to demonstrate to him how a real warrior fights…to the death.</blockquote>

[Teal'c is led away.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Is there anything else I should know?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, there's some concern that the 302s may not have the fuel capacity to exit the atmosphere carrying the weight of the stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How is that possible?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The engines were designed for a craft with an alien inertial dampening system that effectively reduced its overall mass.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, and…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, you'll be carrying a very heavy load.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How heavy?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The Gate ways 64,000 pounds, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's heavy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And you'll need to reach an altitude exceding 180 killometers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
At minimum escape velocity before I release the Gate, or it'll fall back to Earth. I know, I know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, based on the X-302's rocket fuel capacity, even a full burn won't do it, which means the other engines are gonna have to get you part way up, hauling something that weighs six times greater than it was designed to carry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah. Carter…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, the whole rig isn't exactly aerodynamic either.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter! I'm not so sure I want to know any of this.</blockquote>

[They've arrived at an elevator.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
They're working on lightening the 302, but that's why you're going alone. Believe it or not, every pound counts.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Shouldn't have had that cake, huh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I wish I could go with you Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, I'm sure you do. And I find that quite bizarre. Anything else?</blockquote>

[O'Neill has stepped into the elevator.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, Sir, if this works, Jonas really deserves…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What? Deserves what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't know…something. He's the one who gave me the idea to do this. Sir, he gave up everything to bring us the Naquadria.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
The hyperspace generator doesn't work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's not his fault.</blockquote>

[O'Neill does not look impressed.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Good luck, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, what could go wrong, huh?</blockquote>

[O'Neill presses the elevator button but the doors remain open. He hits the button repeatedly until the doors eventually close.]

'''EXT—UNKNOWN PLANET—NIGHTTIME'''

[Rya'c, on lookout, obviously does not see his father and Bra'tac, and moves away from his position. Elsewhere, two groups of Jaffa converge.]

<blockquote>JAFFA 1 
The prisoners will not speak.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAFFA 2 
Take them to the rings and have them transported up to the Ha'tak.</blockquote>

[Ry'ac is hidden behind some boulders, listening. He looks up as a glider passes overhead, then stealthily moves away.]

'''EXT—AIRFIELD'''

[A number of planes are being readied.]

'''INT—HANGER'''

[O'Neill is dressed in a flight suit, and he and Murpy walk through the hanger.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What exactly did you remove?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MURPHY 
Weapons. Some of the life support. Don't worry, there's still more than a day's worth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, if we need more than an hour, we're all in trouble.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MURPHY 
Right. We also took out radar, some of the crash safety mechanisms, landing gear…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Excuse me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MURPHY 
We had to in order to properly accommodate the clamping system, so once you re-enter the atmosphere, you're gonna have to eject. That is after you target the 302 to splash down off the coast of Florida.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Just…when were you gonna tell me this part?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MURPHY 
Just now. We weren't entirely sure any of this was gonna happen until five minutes ago. You're not gonna believe this.</blockquote>

[As O'Neill and Murphy reach the exit, Murphy points outside. They both stand in the doorway, O'Neill looking amazed.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Holy crap.</blockquote>

[The X-302 is attached to the top of a 747 airplane.]

<blockquote>MURPHY 
They're waiting for you.</blockquote>

[Murphy leads O'Neill to a jeep and opens the door for him. O'Neill climbs into the passenger seat.]

<blockquote>MURPHY 
Good luck.</blockquote>

[O'Neill smiles at Murphy as he closes the door and the jeep drives away.]

'''EXT—UNKNOWN PLANET—NIGHTTIME'''

[Ry'ac moves stealthily among the trees and arrives at a clearing containing several gliders. Another flies overhead. He moves towards the clearing on his stomach.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah. Roger that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MISSION COMMAND 
This is mission command, you have a go for separation, Starflight.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL

[O'Neill flicks a couple of switches and the X-302 quickly moves away from the 747.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL

<blockquote>MISSION COMMAND 
Roger that, Starflight. You're still too shallow to fire the rocket booster.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, I may have been understating things…it feels like this thing's falling apart.</blockquote>

[O'Neill struggles to control the aircraft.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Based on altitude, angle of ascent, and current velocity, he's gonna hit the coast of Europe in 35 minutes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
If he puts the 302 in a nosedive, he could cut his descent time in half.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Why would we do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
So he could drop the Gate in the Atlantic. I'm figuring there's time for it to sink maybe 2…3,000 feet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Will that do any good?</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
It's enough to reduce the effects of the devastation.</blockquote>

Well, the instability of the Naquadria is…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Is relative to the size of the burst you're trying to extract.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY

<blockquote>CARTER 
Even a second in hyperspace potentially gets us million of miles!</blockquote>

Colonel. I'm glad you're OK.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You know, the President wants to see you in person?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, we spoke on my way here.</blockquote>

[O'Neill picks a lamp out of one of the boxes.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You can have any assignment you want.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Actually, I've always wanted to command my own boat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
For the Navy?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Or something a little smaller…with oars.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You deserve it, Jack.</blockquote>

[O'Neill indicates the lamp.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You sure you want to take this with you, Sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We're closed for business. I was supposed to retire five years ago. We don't know how long it's going to be before we can re-establish the Stargate Program, if ever.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Actually, I just meant, it says'Property of US Air Force' on it.</blockquote>

[Hammond smiles, takes the lamp from O'Neill and sets it down.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Yeah, I still feel responsible for the teams stranded off-world. but there's nothing we can d…</blockquote>

[Hammond answers a ringing telephone.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(into phone) 
Hammond.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(to O'Neill) 
We're receiving a communication.</blockquote>

'''SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Hammond and O'Neill come down the stairs to the control room. Carter meets them and the three head over to Sgt. Davis at one of the monitors.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What's up?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
(into microphone) 
Go ahead. They're all here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(over radio) 
GeneralHammond…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER and O'NEILL 
Teal'c!</blockquote>

'''INT—CARGO SHIP'''

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
O'Neill! It is good to hear you are well. The weapon being used by Anubis has been destroyed, but we feared it was too late for the Tauri.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, it was close there for a minute.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We approach in a cargo ship. Request permission to land.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
NORAD's aware of their approach, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Permission granted. Welcome back, Teal'c!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Good job!</blockquote>

'''INT—CARGO SHIP'''

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is, in fact, Ry'ac, who deserves the honour.</blockquote>

[Tea'c turns to Ry'ac, standing next to him. Both Teal'c and Bra'tac smile at a pleased Ry'ac.]

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[A Gate is being lowered into place.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, if you don't mind me asking…what exactly did we give the Russians?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Good'ole American Dollars, Major.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You're kidding!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
And the plans for the X-302 and 303.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Really?</blockquote>

[Hammond rolls his eyes.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
And one more thing…</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So I hear you're a pretty good pilot.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
Master Bra'tac taught me well. I hope to be as good as my father one day.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Just know that no one is that good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
It also helps to be lucky.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Don't I know that! Listen, you sure you don't wanna stick around for a little while, kinda hang out?</blockquote>

[Teal'c puts his arm around Ry'ac, obviously proud.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Ry'ac has chosen to help Bra'tac spread the word of our cause.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, it's good to see you again.</blockquote>

[O'Neill shakes Ry'ac's hand and walks away. Teal'c smiles at his son. They shake hands, and Teal'c pulls Ry'ac into a hug.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

<blockquote>JONAS 
Colonel! Colonel, do you have a moment?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter told me everything you did to help out. We all appreciate it, thanks a lot. See you later.</blockquote>

[They stop at an elevator.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Colonel. Dr. Jackson is gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, I noticed that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Not a day goes by when I don't think about what happened. I stood by and watched while he saved my people from disaster. It should have been me who jumped through the glass, disarmed the device, and he's gone because I didn't. You have to live with that, so do I.</blockquote>

[O'Neill is obviously not happy.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You want me to make you feel better? It wasn't your fault. I don't blame you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
If I could go back and change what happened, I would do that, but I can't. All I can do is try and change what happens from now on. I don't want you to exonerate me, I just want to be given the opportunity to prove that I can make a difference.</blockquote>

[The elevator door finally opens, and O'Neill steps in, closing it without saying a word. Jonas looks disappointed, and walks down the hall.]

'''INT—HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

[Hammond is returning items on to his desk as O'Neill knocks on the door.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You wanted to see me, Sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I know this is not what you want to hear, but part of the deal to get the Russian Stargate, involved agreeing to let one of their officers join SG-1.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
This is the thanks I get for saving the world again?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm sorry, Jack. You're going to have to live with this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sir, can't we just throw them a bone? Give them their own unit. They'd be happy with that, wouldn't they?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What about SG-1?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Actually, General…I've already chosen our new team member.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[Carter, O'Neill and Teal'c are preparing to go through the Gate. Hammond enters.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Good luck, Colonel!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you, Sir.</blockquote>

[Jonas jogs in to the Gate room, wearing green fatigues and a helmet, rather than a cap.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
How do I look?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh…you might want to lose the helmet.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks at her, and signals 'No' with his hands.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Good guess on the green.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Thanks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
SG-1, you have a go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you, Sir.</blockquote>

[They line up on the ramp. Jonas puts on a cap. O'Neill nods at him, and they walk up the ramp and through the Gate.]

'''TEASER'''

'''EXT—A PLANET'''

[An SGC officer is helping O'Neill down a sandy slope toward the Gate. Carter and Teal'c are already near the Gate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Dial the Gate! Dial it now!</blockquote>

[Carter runs to dial the DHD as Teal'c runs towards O'Neill and the officer.]

<blockquote>OFFICER 
I swear, Sir, I thought they wanted to smoke a peace pipe.</blockquote>

[As Teal'c joins the officer in helping O'Neill, a swarm of natives appear on the hills surrounding the valley where the Stargate sits, yelling and carrying spears and dart guns. The natives descend in pursuit.]

'''INT—CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(to Davis) 
Morning, Sergeant.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SGT. DAVIS 
Morning, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
When is SG-1 due back?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SGT. DAVIS 
Hour and 22 minutes from now, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
When they get back, tell Major Carter I have a message.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SGT. DAVIS 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

[Suddenly the Gate activates and the alarms go off.]

<blockquote>SGT. DAVIS 
Incoming wormhole.</blockquote>

[Davis sits down at the computer as Hammond comes to stand behind him.]

<blockquote>SGT. DAVIS 
Receiving SG-1's identification code. It's a code red, Sir. Looks like they're under fire.</blockquote>

[Hammond picks up a handset on the wall.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(into the handset) 
Defense unit and medical team to the Gate room.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SGT. DAVIS 
Opening the iris.</blockquote>

[Hammond heads down to the Gate room. He follows a couple of armed personnel into the Gate room just as SG-1 walks through the Gate. A spear flies through behind SG-1 and lands at the General's feet. He reaches down to pick it up. He looks up to see O'Neill being helped by Teal'c as they head past him toward the infirmary.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Next.</blockquote>

[Hammond approaches Major Carter and the other member of SG-1 on the ramp. The officer pulls a dart out of his leg as a medic approaches. Carter pulls another dart out of his shoulder as he sits down heavily on the ramp.]

<blockquote>OFFICER 
I've been shot.</blockquote>

[Hammond puts down the spear and walks up the ramp.]

<blockquote>OFFICER 
(speech becoming slurred) 
Some sort of tranquilizers…</blockquote>

[As the officer passes out, the medic checks his pulse and Carter looks on in disgust.]

<blockquote>MEDIC 
Steady pulse. He's just unconscious, Sir.</blockquote>

[Carter stands up, holding the dart and approaches Hammond.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'd classify P2X-374 as unfriendly, Sir. Fairly primitive from the looks of it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I presume Captain Hagman will need to be reassigned?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'd say so, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We'll debrief in one hour. Dismissed. Oh, Major, I got a call this morning from Area 51. It's done.</blockquote>

[Hammond returns up the ramp. Carter mouths the word Wow and heads out of the Gate room.]

'''FADE OUT—END OF TEASER'''

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''INT—OFFICE'''

[Jonas now occupies Daniel's lab. The TV is tuned to the weather channel and he is listening to classical music while reading and eating grapes. Carter approaches slowly, looking around the lab and smiling.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Jonas.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Major. How is Colonel O'Neill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
He's got a partially torn ligament in his knee. He'll be okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Hmm. Captain Hagman?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
He'll make a full recovery.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What's that make…eight now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Nine, if you count the two hours Capt. Mathison lasted.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(referring to the book he is reading) 
So there's no need for ancient Babylonian?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Not exactly. You think you can spare a few hours?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Sure. For what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, you've been here three months, General Hammond thought you might finally like to leave the base.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(smiling) 
Yes. That would be great. Where we goin'?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Nevada.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Oh…clear skies…73 degrees.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
There are at least 500 other channels, you know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
But this one…this one is fantastic. I mean you have…all of your weather from all over your planet right here. Even a long-range forecast. It's like…predicting the future.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
There is some science involved.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I know. What's in Nevada?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You like surprises?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Sure, I love'em.</blockquote>

[Carter smiles and turns to leave.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Hey, Major…</blockquote>

[Carter stops and turns to face him.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
How do I know what color to wear?</blockquote>

[Carter smiles and leaves.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(yelling back as she leaves) 
We call each other every morning…</blockquote>

'''INT—AREA 51 HANGAR'''

[SG-1 and Jonas enter. They walk toward an aircraft and Carter is approached by Dr. Larry Murphy.]

<blockquote>DR. MURPHY 
Major, I thought you'd like to see the prototype as soon as it was completed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wow…you're way ahead of schedule.</blockquote>

[O'Neill opens the craft's cockpit and begins to climb in. Jonas climbs the access stairs after him.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Very impressive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR. MURPHY 
Thank you.</blockquote>

[O'Neill goes to sit in the aircraft.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, n-no, n-n-n-no, no.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR. MURPHY 
Uh, I'm sorry?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Dr. Larry Murphy…Colonel Jack O'Neill.</blockquote>

[Carter points to Teal'c who is studying the craft's undercarriage.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
This is Teal'c and this is Jonas Quinn…the man responsible for introducing us to the Naquadria.</blockquote>

[Jonas waves.]

<blockquote>DR. MURPHY 
Pleasure to meet you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
In case there was some doubt about what I was just saying…No.</blockquote>

[O'Neill drops into the aircraft's front seat.]

<blockquote>DR. MURPHY 
Um, I'm sorry, to what exactly?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
O'Neill believes you are going to request that we test fly this aircraft.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR. MURPHY 
Oh, yeah, uh, of course. Sir, I wasn't around for it, but we're all quite familiar with your experience with the X-302's predecessor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(sarcastically) 
Are ya now…really?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR. MURPHY 
Well, Sir, I can tell you that this is a…this is a very different ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, the X-301 was a modified glider. Now, while many of the 302's systems were retroengineered from Goa'uld technology, it is entirely human built.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So was the Titanic.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, this could be the most important breakthrough for Earth since the discovery of the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Why's that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR. MURPHY 
It's got four different sets of engines…air breathing jets, modified aerospikes for high altitude and a rocket booster.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
You said four, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The fourth engine is a hyperspace window generator.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Even Goa'uld gliders are not capable of entering hyperspace.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's because they're too small to carry the Goa'uld version of the generator.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR. MURPHY 
Ours are much more compact.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Because of the Naquadria. Jonas, this was all made possible because of you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR. MURPHY 
It's still a few weeks away from a practical test, but all preliminary indications look good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
If this performs the way it was designed to, the X-302 will be the first human-built space craft capable of interstellar travel.</blockquote>

'''INT—HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

<blockquote>CHECKOV 
The deal made by our governments, General…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm aware of every aspect of the arrangement, Colonel.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks by the door, notices Checkov and tries to back out, but Hammond sees him.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Ah, Jack…come in.</blockquote>

[O'Neill enters the office.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel, you know Colonel Checkov, the Russian envoy to the SGC.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We've…met.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel Checkov feels that as a symbol of our joint efforts, a Russian officer should be assigned to join SG-1.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Over my rotting corpse, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm sorry, did I say that out loud?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I said I would discuss it with you and that I was sure you would give it some careful thought.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And that I will, General, but I'm still pretty sure I'll say…'bite me'.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(to Checkov) 
Colonel, would you excuse us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHECKOV 
General.</blockquote>

[As Checkov leaves the office, O'Neill turns to him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So sorry.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks over and takes a seat. Hammond is now seated as well.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm sorry, General, you know I mean no disrespect toward you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I know. I probably should have reprimanded you in front of the Colonel, but I happen to agree with your sentiments in this case.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Who decided every team that goes through the Gate has to have four people?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
No one says they do, but Daniel Jackson provided SG-1 with invaluable knowledge, linguistic skills and, in my opinion, a very beneficial viewpoint. One I think is important enough to try and replace.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
But not with a Russian!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I agree, but my patience is starting to wear thin on this matter. I think I've given you a great deal of latitude lately, given the situation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sir…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Jack…you're off the mission list anyway until that knee fully heals. Use the time to try and get some perspective. Find someone qualified you can work with. I'll have all available personnel files forwarded to you. Dismissed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

[O'Neill rises and limps out of Hammond's office.]

'''INT—SAM'S LAB'''

[Carter is writing in a notebook when Jonas enters.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Major…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I realized I never actually thanked you for letting me see the X-302.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Ah, well, General Hammond ordered me to invite you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Oh. I'm glad the Naquadria is going to be useful.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, looks that way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Can I see the plans for it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah…uh, General Hammond says I should give you anything you want regarding the Naquadria research, so…</blockquote>

[She hands him a large notebook.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
He's a man of his word.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I doubt it'll mean much to you without an understanding of our science and engineering.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Maybe you can recommend some related reading.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, sure…I'll, uh, type up a list.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Great. Thanks.</blockquote>

[Jonas begins to walk out, then turns back to Carter.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
You know, Major…I'm as physically fit as anybody on this base and I've committed to memory almost all of Doctor Jackson's work…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Everything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
According to the tests Doctor Fraiser administered, I have the ability to learn much quicker than the average human.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
All very interesting information, but…</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I wanna join you. Explore other planets, discover new worlds, new cultures, help rid the galaxy of the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I get the picture.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I can't stay here on this base the rest of my life. I can't go back to my planet. They don't realize the threat that's out there. I can help them by helping you. I can also help finish what Doctor Jackson started.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Jonas. I understand why you want to join SG-1, and I'm sorry but…I just don't see it happening.</blockquote>

[Jonas nods, smiles, salutes, taps this notebook she gave him, waves and leaves.]

'''INT—SGC GYM'''

[Teal and Jonas are sparring on a cushioned mat. Jonas is wearing head-gear, Teal'c is not.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
He trusts you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I believe it is you, he must learn to trust.</blockquote>

[Teal'c tags Jonas and knocks him down. Jonas pops back up immediately.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
How can he learn to trust me if he won't even speak to me? You know? He holds me responsible for what happened to Doctor Jackson.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I believe you are correct.</blockquote>

[Teal'c tags Jonas again, knocking him down. Jonas pops up again.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
How can I even begin to make up for it if he won't give me the chance?</blockquote>

[Teal'c lays Jonas out a third time…again, he pops right back up.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Is this really a sport on this planet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Are you injured, Jonas Quinn?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
It'll take more than that. I'll tell you what…if I knock you down…you gotta talk to Colonel O'Neill for me.</blockquote>

[Teal'c nods consent.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
OK.</blockquote>

[Teal'c drops Jonas a fourth time and Jonas pops up again.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
I'm OK… I wasn't ready…I'm ready now.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC COMMISARY'''

[O'Neill is sitting at a table looking through file folders. Teal'c joins O'Neill at the table with a tray full of food.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Little snack? I'm tellin' you, the universities of this great nation are getting a little lax in their admissions.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
To whom are you referring, O'Neill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I can be as diplomatic and open minded as anyone…</blockquote>

[Teal'c raises his brow.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hammond is insisting SG-1 needs a sociopolitical nerd to offset our overwhelming coolness.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Have you considered Jonas Quinn?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Now I know you've been practicing, but I still can't tell…is that a joke?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He wishes to join the fight against the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He's an Al…ien. He's an alien. The point is, I don't think we need someone else on the team. You, Carter and I can handle things just fine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You learned to trust me, O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's different.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I do not believe it is. Like me, Jonas Quinn may be an alien to this world, but he has vowed to commit himself to the cause of the Tau'ri.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, well, that doesn't mean I want him watching my back in battle, OK?</blockquote>

[Alarms begin blaring.]

<blockquote>VOICE OVER INTERCOM 
Unscheduled incoming traveler.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c rise to leave the commisary.]

'''INT—CORRIDOR OUTSIDE THE GATE ROOM'''

[Brata'c and Hammond are exiting the Gate room just as Teal'c, O'Neill and Carter arrive.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Bra'tac. What's up?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Tek ma te, Master Bra'tac.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
I'm sorry I did not come sooner, Teal'c. Drey'auc is gravely ill.</blockquote>

[Teal'c looks to Hammond.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
No need to ask. Go.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC ELEVATOR'''

[The doors to the elevator open. Carter and Jonas enter the elevator as others exit. Carter pushes the button to close the door.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
I didn't know he had a wife.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, and a son, Rya'c. They were banished from their home on Chulak when Teal'c defected. At one point Apophis actually brainwashed Rya'c and tried to use him against us. Bra'tac's been looking out for them ever since.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
So why didn't Teal'c just bring 'em here?</blockquote>

[The elevator doors open, Carter and Jonas exit and begin walking down a corridor.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, Drey'auc wanted to stay with her own people if possible and Teal'c was away on missions most of the time anyway. He tries to get home as often as he can, but it's not easy for him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
You'd never know, would you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, well, Teal'c's not exactly an open book.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Still, I'm usually much better at reading people.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHECKOV 
Major!</blockquote>

[Colonel Checkov comes down the corridor behind them.]

<blockquote>CHECKOV 
Why was I not informed about the X-302?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
For example, it might not be that obvious to everyone, but this man is actually very upset.</blockquote>

[Carter nods.]

'''INT—HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How did you find out about the X-302, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHECKOV 
That is not the issue. Article 3A clearly states…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The X-302 has nothing to do with the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHECKOV 
The Naquadria being used to power the hyperspace window generator was procured…</blockquote>

[Alarms begin blaring.]

<blockquote>VOICE OVER INTERCOM 
Unauthorised incoming wormhole.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'll take anything over this…</blockquote>

[Hammond and Carter leave the office. Checkov looks at Jonas, who smiles at him.]

'''INT—CONTROL ROOM'''

[Carter and Hmmond enter the Control Room via the stairs.]

<blockquote>SGT. DAVIS 
We're not receiving an IDC, Sir. In fact, there's nothing, Sir.</blockquote>

[Carter sits at one of the monitors as O'Neill enters the room.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's up?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Apparently… nothing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nothing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So it would seem.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's a twist.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Gate's functioning properly. We're definitely looking at an incoming wormhole.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
But nothing is incoming?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
As far as I can tell.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
The Goa'uld used that tactic before.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
To block our escape while they attacked in ships, yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SGT. DAVIS 
Nothing from deep space watch either.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This doesn't make any sense. In order to keep a wormhole open, you have to send something through…a radio signal, anything. We're getting…nothing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Figure it out, Major. I'll call the President.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

[Hammond leaves.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Don't look at me…I got nothing.</blockquote>

[O'Neill leaves.]

'''EXT—CHULAK'''

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
As you see, conditions are harsh, but they have been safe here.</blockquote>

[Teal'c and Bra'tac are walking through a Jaffa camp as they converse.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They must be moved to the new outpost built by the Tau'ri. All Jaffa who support our cause are welcome there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Drey'auc is in no state to be moved now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Why did you wait?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
As it is, I brought you here against her wishes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
She has always been proud.</blockquote>

[A Jaffa bumps into Teal'c as he walks past. Teal'c pauses and both he and Bra'tac look back at the Jaffa, but say nothing.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
She refused to accept the new symbiote.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Was one procured?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
No. She did not wish us to sacrifice the life of another Jaffa to save her own, even one who still foolishly worships the false gods. We would all chose the same fate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
In the past…</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
It is not the past, my friend. The descent we have bred has brought about many changes. The Goa'uld no longer trust the Jaffa priests with their young as they once did…</blockquote>

[Rya'c emerges from a tent and glares at his father. Teal'c turns towards him]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Rya'c!</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
You dare show your face here? She is dead…because of you.</blockquote>

[Rya'c shoves Teal'c as he walks past him, obviously upset. Teal'c is stunned into silence.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Could it be a malfunction of some kind?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's possible, Sir, but highly unlikely. Chances are somebody dialed Earth from an offworld Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Wrong number?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, normally the Gate shuts down automatically after a short period of time if nothing's entering the event horizon from the out-going location.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So…what do we do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We wait. To my knowledge no one's been able to sustain a wormhole for longer than 38 minutes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Could whoever's behind this redial our Gate repeatedly just to keep us from using it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I've programmed the computer to dial the Alpha site immediately after the incoming wormhole expires, just in case. We'll be able to recall our offworld teams and hopefully contact someone who can help.</blockquote>

[Carter, O'Neill and Hammond watch the clock on the computer as it approaches and passes the 38 minute mark.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It's still on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
38 minutes, give or take a few seconds.</blockquote>

[O'Neill turns to watch the clock again for several seconds.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How many is a few?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
OK, now we have a problem.</blockquote>

'''INT—TENT ON CHULAK'''

[Teal'c enters the tent where Drey'auc lies. He kneels beside the cot and pulls back the cloth that is covering her face. He gazes on her face and is overcome by grief.]

'''EXT—CHULAK'''

<blockquote>Teal'c approaches Rya'c who is sitting in a sparsely wooded area.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
She believed in you…in the fight you have chosen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
As you once did.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
How long were we to live like this? Are we all to die like she did?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Nothing has changed. The Goa'uld can be defeated.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
As long as we must carry symbiotes, we will depend on the Goa'uld for our lives.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We will find a way to be free.</blockquote>

[Rya'c stands and faces his father…growing angrier.]

<blockquote>RYA'C 
My mother will never know this freedom you speak of. She had no choice. You brought this upon her. You chose for the both of us.</blockquote>

[Rya'c bends down and picks up a staff weapon and points it at Teal'c.]

<blockquote>RYA'C 
Now, as any warrior would, I choose to avenge her death.</blockquote>

[Rya'c charges the staff weapon and points it at Teal'c.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Everything I have done, I have done for you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
Then I am ashamed…for you have done nothing but bring pain and misery and above all, false hope, to countless Jaffa.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Then fire your weapon.</blockquote>

[Rya'c hits Teal'c across the face several times with the staff weapon. He hits him in the stomach, doubling Teal'c over. Teal'c does nothing to retaliate, but allows Rya'c take out his rage and frustration on him.]

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Lt. Simmons is working at a terminal as Carter enters the room.]

<blockquote>LT. SIMMONS 
Major…there's a rise in power being retained by the Gate's internal capacitors of .1%.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, while there's an open wormhole, the value tends to fluctuate by at least that much anyway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LT. SIMMONS 
Not for the last 12 minutes, it hasn't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Go to Gate diagnostic screen four.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LT. SIMMONS 
Normal…no incoming energy readings.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Increase sensitivity by 50%.</blockquote>

[A few blips appear on the computer graph.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What was that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>LT. SIMMONS 
Could be interference in the line between the Gate and computer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
There it is again. Increase sensitivity by 200%.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LT. SIMMONS 
That's well within the accepted margin of error for the sensors.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I know, try it anyway.</blockquote>

[A pattern of blips appears on the computer graph.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I admit it's a pretty small anomaly, but it could be contributing to the power build up in the Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LT. SIMMONS 
But, uh…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Errors are random, Lt. Whatever this is, it has a distinct pattern.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LT. SIMMONS 
Right.</blockquote>

'''EXT—CHULAK FOREST'''

[Rya'c has knocked Teal'c to the ground. Teal'c still does not respond to Rya'c assault, although his face is bloddy. Teal'c slowly rises.]

<blockquote>RYA'C 
(yelling) 
Fight! Or do you not consider me a worthy opponent?</blockquote>

[Rya'c maneuvers the staff weapon, ready to deal Teal'c another blow, but he is stopped as Bra'tac steps in and grabs the staff weapon.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
You should be glad he does not, for if he did, he would snap you in half. You have become skilled, Rya'c, but a true Jaffa warrior does not let grief cloud his judgement.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
I choose my opponent as foolishly as he chose his.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Teal'c chose your mother's fate no more than he chose his own. We are all victims of the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
No, Master Bra'tac, Rya'c is correct. I have failed both he and his mother.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
The boy passes judgment without having fought a single battle…hmm? Fighting a war that appears unwinnable does not make ones cause less noble.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
He cares more for dying than for his own flesh and blood.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
So must all Jaffa, if any of us are ever to taste freedom.</blockquote>

[Bra'tac disengages the staff weapon and hands it back to Rya'c who snatches it from him and stalks away, watched by his father.]

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Lt. Simmons is seated at the same terminal as previously, watching the chart fluctuations.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We've detected an energy build up within the Gate. It's being transmitted through the incoming wormhole. We didn't notice it before because our sensors aren't calibrated to measure something this small.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The iris appears to be holding.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, Sir. It's likely slowing the energy transfer significantly, but it's not stopping it completely.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(hesitantly) 
Doesn't sound so bad.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Actually Sir, it is. The Gate itself is one giant superconductor capable of absorbing huge amounts of energy. Now, if that capacity is eventually exceeded, the Naquadah that the Stargate's made up of will become charged and could eventually explode.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How long?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
A few days, maybe less…we're calculating it right now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Is there any good news?</blockquote>

[Someone off camera hands Carter a lap top. She shakes her head negatively.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Just bad and worse, Sir. We're talking about a blast two to three thousand megatons.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Enough to take out Colorado.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The resulting environmental effects could destroy all life on Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There's worse?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We have no idea how to stop it.</blockquote>

'''EXT—CHULAK—NIGHTIME'''

[Teal'c lights Drey'auc's funeral pyre, as a number of Jaffa watch.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Shel Mak. Shel Assah.</blockquote>

[Teal'c watches the fire for a time. He spots Rya'c in the crowd. Their eyes meet and Rya'c turns to leave. Teal'c starts to follow, but is stopped by Bra'tac.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Let him mourn.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He has grown to hate me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
He does not. Nor does he truly believe our cause is futile. Drey'auc would not allow it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Why does he speak as he does.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Self-doubt. Since the day Apophis brainwashed him, he has believed his own mind is weak.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is not true.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
You were no different at his age. After the death of your father at the hands of Cronus, fear almost consumed you. Like Rya'c, it was deSire for vengeance that gave you strength.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Rya'c misplaces his blame.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
He directs his malice toward you because he believes you doubt him as much as he doubts himself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Why would he believe such a thing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Because you are his father and you have not told him otherwise.</blockquote>

[Teal'c turns back to the fire for a time. Later he approaches Rya'c who is sitting on the steps at the base of the Stargate. Teal'c sits beside him.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Not…so long ago, I was captured in battle and Apophis took control of my mind. He made me believe that… I was once again his loyal first prime. And I turned on my friends who trusted me. Were it not for Bra'tac and the right of MalSharran, I would have died…believing that Apophis was my god. Whether you believe in me or what I have chosen to do does not change the fact that I have never doubted your heart, Rya'c. You need never win back my trust, my son, for you have never lost it.</blockquote>

[Both are emotional, turn to each other and hug.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

[Lt. Simmons is walking with another officer down a corridor toward the Gate room.]

<blockquote>OFFICER 
Shouldn't we be cutting all power to the Gate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>LT. SIMMONS 
Won't do any good. Incoming wormholes draw their energy from the offworld source. Major Carter still wants to be able to monitor the Gate through the feedback system.</blockquote>

[Sgt. Siler is at the base of the ramp in the Gate room as Lt. Simmons and the other officer pass.]

<blockquote>SGT. SILER 
(to technician on the ramp) 
We can't use the Russian Gate because we can't dial out of another Gate when there's already an established incoming wormhole to Earth.</blockquote>

[Jonas walks into the Gate room at that time and looks around at the chaos. He is holding some books and turns to gaze up into the control room where Carter is leaning over a computer terminal talking with two female technicians.]

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>FEMALE OFFICER 
Energy build up has reached 18%.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
There has to be a way to drain the capacitors…</blockquote>

<blockquote>VOICE BEHIND SAM 
Still as sexy as ever, I see.</blockquote>

[Carter turns to see Dr. McKay stroll into the room.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What are you doing here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
Well, there's no point in building Naquadah reactors for Russia if there isn't going to be a Russia, is there? The Pentagon thought you, uh, might need some help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Not from you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
Oh, OK. Well, then I'll get a coffee and a doughnut and wait for the big bang.</blockquote>

[McKay smiles smugly and walks past Carter]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(as McKay leaves, whispering to herself) 
That's just what I needed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SGT. DAVIS 
Major.</blockquote>

[He hands her a handset.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(into the handset) 
Carter.</blockquote>

'''INT—HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

<blockquote>CHECKOV 
This wouldn't be a problem if you had a working alien ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(rubbing his sore knee) 
Hey! I didn't wreck it…the Goa'uld did. And we barely escaped with our lives, thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHECKOV 
What good is being a part of this so-called protected planets treaty if you can't even reach the Asgard when we're being attacked?</blockquote>

[Carter enters.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Excuse me, Sirs. I just got off the phone with Doctor Murphy at Area 51. He says he can have the X-302 ready to go in six hours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I thought it was weeks away from a flight test.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, we've tried everything else we can think of. Our only chance is if we can contact the Asgard. I'd like to volunteer, Sir.</blockquote>

[Hammond nods consent.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'll go too, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You sure you're up for it, Colonel? O'NEILL 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

[O'Neill slaps his knee and rises.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'll have transport prepped and ready in twenty minutes.</blockquote>

'''EXT—CHULAK'''

[Teal'c, Bra'tac and Rya'c exit a tent and grab staff weapons. The look up to see a Goa'uld cargo ship descending and landing. Teal'c, Bra'tac and Rya'c walk towards the craft, followed by a number of Jaffa. A Jaffa emerges from the craft and greets Teal'c, Bra'tac and Rya'c.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Shaq'rel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHAQ'REL 
Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It has been too long, old friend.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHAQ'REL 
It is fortunate you are here. I have brought word to Master Bra'tac so that he might warn you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Of what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHAQ'REL 
The Tau'ri are in danger. They are under attack from Anubis.</blockquote>

'''INT—AREA 51 HANGAR'''

[Carter and O'Neill arrive via HumVee. Both are wearing flight suits. They talk with Dr. Murphy as they walk to the X-302 and climb in the cockpit.]

<blockquote>DR. MURPHY 
I assume you were briefed on the way here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Briefly.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR. MURPHY 
The target is Abydos, that being the closest planet with a Stargate. And you do know that out theoretical simulations for opening a hyperspace window were done in space?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We know we have to leave the atmosphere.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We have to leave the ground first.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR. MURPHY 
It'll fly, Colonel. I bet my life on it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Wanna come with?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR. MURPHY 
Love to…but I'm needed here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes…yes you are.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(as they are climbing into the cockpit) 
You know, Sir, even if we do manage to contact the Asgard, there's a chance they won't be able to help us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's your point, Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Guess I don't have one, beyond that, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Jonas is wandering around, reading a book and looking at the numerous technicians in the room. Hammond enters with McKay.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(to McKay) 
You're missing the point, Doctor.</blockquote>

[Jonas approaches the pair.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
General, can I have a minute?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I wish I had one. Major Carter and Colonel O'Neill are about to take off.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
That's what this is about, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What do you mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Look, I'm no scientist, but I have studied all of the Goa'uld research done on Naquadriah and as you know, Major Carter allowed me to see the specifications on the X-302…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
And?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
It's not going to work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
Really? That's just what I was saying. Who are you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Jonas Quinn.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
Oh, the alien with the whacky Naquadah…</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Naquadriah…you are?</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
McKay. Scientist. Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
General…the instability of the Naquadriah increases exponentially as you attempt to extract more energy out of it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
(looking at the notebook Jonas has been referring to) 
Oh, this is even worse than I thought.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
If you allow this test to proceed, Sir…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Son, this is not just a test. If the X-302 fails, this planet will be destroyed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I understand your position, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It's not just my position. You stand to suffer the consequences along with everyone else. Now, if either of you have a more prudent suggestion on halting this crisis, I'm willing to hear it. Otherwise, I suggest we all go downstairs, cross our fingers and hope Major Carter and Colonel O'Neill can reach help.</blockquote>

[Hammond heads down the stairs. Jonas looks after him momentarily, then turns to McKay with a questioning look.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Cross our fingers?</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
It's a superstitious way some humans have of expressing their deSire for good luck.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Really?</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
(demonstrating the crossed fingers as he walks by Jonas) 
Ridiculous, huh?</blockquote>

[Jonas takes back his notebook as McKay passes.]

'''EXT—AREA 51'''

[The X-302 begins to taxi out to the runway.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Navigation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Check.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oxygen, pressure, temperature control.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All check.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Inertial dampeners.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Cool…and check.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Engines.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All check. Phasers?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sorry, Sir. All systems operational.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Jonas walks into the room. Sgt. Davis and McKay are seated, with Hammond standing behind.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(over the intercom) 
It's too bad we can't drive across the galaxy…this thing handles like a Cadillac on the ground.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(into microphone) 
Colonel, Major, this is Hammond. Jonas Quinn has voiced some concern about this mission specifically regarding the instability of the Naquadriah.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-302 INTERIOR'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, the simulations we ran anticipated every conceivable scenario.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You know, Carter, it's the inconceivable ones I'm concerned about.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The X-302 has hundreds of safety mechanisms to compensate for anything that can go wrong. Arming ejection system.</blockquote>

[Carter grins as she looks forward towards O'Neill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's good…that's good, that's funny.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Mission command…all systems go from Abydos One.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MISSION COMMAND 
(over speakers) 
Copy that, Abydos One. Good luck.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Jonas and Hammond both look concerned.]

'''INT—X-302 INTERIOR'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well…here we go.</blockquote>

[The X-302 takes off and begins to climb.]

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Jonas is pacing back and forth as Sgt. Davis, McKay and Hammond look to the upper screens.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We have lift off.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Climbing…</blockquote>

'''INT—X-302 INTERIOR'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Velocity approaching Mach two.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
10,000 meters.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Mach three.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MISSION COMMAND 
(over speakers) 
Mission command, over. Looks good from here, Abydos One.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Abydos One, over.</blockquote>

'''EXT—CHULAK STARGATE'''

[Teal'c is trying to dial Earth but is unsuccessful. Bra'tac, Shaq'rel and Ry'ac look on.]

<blockquote>SHAQ'REL 
Anubis has a weapon that uses one Stargate to destroy another and if my information is correct, the attack has already begun.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
We cannot warn them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHAQ'REL 
That is why I brought a ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If the attack has already begun, a warning will do little good. We must find a way to stop it before it is too late.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHAQ'REL 
We do not know the location of this weapon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Anubis has grown powerful, but still only defends a small handful of planets. If one of those Stargates also cannot be contacted…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is most likely the origin of the attack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Let us hope it is one of the planets to which I can remember the sequence.</blockquote>

[Bra'tac starts dialing the DHD.]

'''INT—X-302 INTERIOR'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
Preparing for main rocket engine burn.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Jonas and Hammond both look very concerned, and share a look of worry.]

<blockquote>MISSION COMMAND 
(over speakers) 
Roger that, Abydos. We'll re-establish contact on Satcom 3 after you exit the atmosphere.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-302 INTERIOR'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Engaging rocket engine.</blockquote>

[The 302 climbs out of the atmosphere.]

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Jonas, Hammond, Sgt. Siler and Mckay all look concerned, awaiting O'Neill's next words.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Mission Command, this is Abydos One, do you read?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MISSION COMMAND 
(over speakers) 
Loud and clear, Abydos One.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Altitude, 500 kilometers and rising.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-302 INTERIOR'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Velocity, 40,000 kilometers per hour.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm entering the coordinates in the hyperspace generator.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>MISSION COMMAND 
(over speakers) 
Roger that, Abydos One.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(into microphone) 
God's speed Colonel, Major, from all of us.</blockquote>

[Hammond smiles at Jonas who is standing beside him, crossing his index fingers—one on each hand.]

'''INT—X-302 INTERIOR'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Let's do this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Engaging hyperspace window.</blockquote>

[A colorful vortex appears in front of the 302. Suddenly, master alarms go off. The 302 veers out of the path of the hyperspace window.]

<blockquote>MISSION COMMAND 
(over speakers) 
Abydos One, this is mission command, do you read? We are still receiving your radio signal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't know, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Mission Command, we missed the window.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MISSION COMMAND 
(over speakers) 
Abydos One, please explain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The autopilot engaged and we veered off course at the last second, Mission Command. Should we try again?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MISSION COMMAND 
(over speakers) 
Negative, Abydos One, return to base for further evaluation. Mission failure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I hate hearing that.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC'''

[O'Neill and Carter walk into the Briefing Room. The table is full of monitors, still counting up the length of time that the Gate has been open.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel, Major, I'm glad to see you're OK.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
For the moment, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They're still analyzing the flight data recorder, but it looks like a 605-3 error.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Forgive me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's the one after 605-2, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The X-302 couldn't get a lock on its destination once the window was open so it auto-aborted. It's one of the built in safety features.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
What went wrong?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The hyperspace window was unstable. We thought we'd compensated for the energy fluctuations emitted by the Naquadriah, but apparently not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I don't think you can.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Apparently, Carter and I could have been torn…asunder.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The possibility of that was remote, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
More likely, is you just would have been transported to an unknown location with limited fuel, oxygen and no way of getting back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Can this problem be resolved?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, we don't even understand why the problem exists, yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>McKAY 
You're lucky. There's no telling how much damage an unstable hyperspace window could have caused.</blockquote>

[Carter smiles at McKay.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The bottom line is, we're on our own.</blockquote>

[Carter nods at Hammond and glares at McKay.]

'''INT—CARTER'S LAB'''

[O'Neill walks in to find Carter working alone at her bench.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, how come you're not downstairs with the rest of the eggheads? Not that you're…an egghead…</blockquote>

[Carter looks at him, brows raised.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, you are…actually…but in a good way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I couldn't think down there…they all kept looking at me for the answer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, you do have a penchant for pulling brilliant ideas out of your butt.</blockquote>

[Carter gives him an incredulous look.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Head…out of your head…when we need them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Not this time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, you still got two days to work on it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, I don't think I could solve this if I had a couple of years.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter, am I sensing fear in your voice?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, actually, a lot of fear.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, stop it! You're making me nervous.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What about you, Sir? Any ideas? I mean, sometimes you have a way of seeing things at…at their simplest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you. I'm gonna go eat some cake.</blockquote>

[O'Neill turns to leave.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I think I'll join you.</blockquote>

[Carter gets up to follow him and alarms start going off. Carter and O'Neill race to the Gate room, as the lights fail.]

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>SGT. DAVIS 
We're experiencing a widespread loss of power, Sir.</blockquote>

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Carter and O'Neill enter just as a holographic image of Anubis comes through the Gate.]

<blockquote>ANUBIS 
I am Anubis.</blockquote>

[O'Neill gives Carter a questioning look.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
It looks like a hologram projection, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANUBIS 
Humans of the Tau'ri. Your end of days finally approaches. There will be no mercy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, come on…who talks like that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, this is Asgard technology. He must have downloaded it from Thor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANUBIS 
You will bow to my awesome power. There is nothing that can stop the destruction I bring upon you. Prepare to meet your doom.</blockquote>

[Anubis disappears.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, please.</blockquote>

'''TEASER'''

'''INT—STARGATE ROOM'''

[The Gate has been activated from off world. The iris is in place, and the klaxon alarms sound.]

'''INT—CONTROL ROOM'''

[Hammond, followed by Carter, descends the stairs to the Control Room.]

<blockquote>SGT. DAVIS 
We're receiving a transmission sir. Audio only.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Let's here it.</blockquote>

[Garbled, high-pitched sounds can be heard over the speakers. Carter sits at a terminal next to Sgt. Davis.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'll see if I can clean it up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VOICE OVER SPEAKERS 
Please respond. Repeat, this is Commander Hale, chairman of the Kelownan Defense Council, calling Stargate Command. Please respond.</blockquote>

[Carter turns to look back at Hammond.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
At approximately 0700 this morning, we received a transmission from P2S-4C3.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The man identified himself as Commander Hale, Chairman of the Kelownan Defense Council.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, he's been promoted. When I left, he was Undersecretary for Military Appropriations.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, according to their commander, the Kelownan government wants to reestablish trade relations with Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I hope you diplomatically told him where to shove it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It's not that simple, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They tried to frame Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I don't think it's fair to judge the entire population by the actions of a few scientists.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The Kelownans are technologically inferior to Earth. They have little to offer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Except naquadria.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Which…doesn't work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The hyperspace drive on the X-302 didn't work. That doesn't mean we should give up. Naquadria is still our best bet for creating shields and weapons capable of repelling the Goa'uld. We need this.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks disgusted.]

'''END OF TEASER'''

'''ROLL CREDITS'''

'''INT—JONAS' LAB'''

[Jonas is pacing, agitated, as Teal'c knocks and enters.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The Kelownan delegation will arrive soon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Is there a problem, Jonas Quinn?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I've just been, uh…so caught up in being a member of SG-1, I kinda forgot how this whole thing started.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We have taken similar paths. I, too, was forced to betray all of that in which I had placed my faith.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I don't know if I can do it, Teal'c. I mean, they think that I'm a…a traitor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
When I returned to Chulak after leaving the service of Apophis, I, too, was considered a traitor, Sholva, to my friends and family that I had left behind. In their eyes, I was dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
It must have been hard for you to go back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What I did, I did for my people. In time, they came to understand this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well…I don't think my people are ever gonna have a chance to know the truth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Then you must draw strength in knowing that your cause is just…and one day your people will benefit from the sacrifices that you have made.</blockquote>

'''INT—STARGATE ROOM'''

[A delegation of three steps through the Gate from Kelowna. They walk down the ramp to be greeted by Hammond and SG-1.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Welcome to Earth. I'm General Hammond.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HALE 
I'm Commander Hale. This is Ambassador Dreylock and Dr. Kieran.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This is Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter, Teal'c…</blockquote>

[Kieran nods his head slowly towards Jonas.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
…and of course you know Jonas Quinn.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
It's good to see you, Professor.</blockquote>

[Jonas' smile fades as Kieran ignores him.]

<blockquote>KIERAN 
General, I believe we have a lot to discuss.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Right this way.</blockquote>

[As the others leave, O'Neill and Jonas remain in the Gate room. Jonas looks towards the exiting delegation.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Friend of yours?</blockquote>

[Jonas nods, obviously upset.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
He was, uh, one of my teachers at university and then he recruited me into the naquadria project. We've been working together side by side the last six years.</blockquote>

[O'Neill steps around Jonas to leave the Gate room. Jonas follows.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[The Kelownans are standing at the Briefing Room table.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Please, sit down.</blockquote>

[The Kelownans and SG-1 sit.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I must admit that we were a little surprised to hear from you given the circumstances of our last encounter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREYLOCK 
I'm sure we all regret what happened, but I don't think anything was said or done to damage relations between us irreparably.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You accused a member of my team of sabotage to cover up your own incompetence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HALE 
And you received stolen goods and are harboring a traitor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREYLOCK 
Perhaps it would be better if we focused on the matter at hand.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Which is what, exactly?</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Hale glare at each other.]

<blockquote>DREYLOCK 
For several years, an uneasy peace has resulted from the rivalry between the three major powers on our planet—Kelowna, Tirania and the Andari Federation. All of that is about to change.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HALE 
According to our foreign intelligence service, the Tiranians and the Andaris are about to sign a non-aggression pact. This would leave us in a very vulnerable position.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm just curious. What made you think we would care?</blockquote>

[Carter appears disgusted at O'Neill's attitude.]

<blockquote>KIERAN 
We still have something that you want, Colonel. Naquadria.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREYLOCK 
In fact, thanks to recent discoveries, we have a considerable surplus.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
We know that you're decades ahead of us, technologically. In the field of jet propulsion alone, you could provide us with a significant strategic advantage.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You want us to give you military technology.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HALE 
Without it, Kelowna faces annihilation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You are assuming they intend to attack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HALE 
The treaty is an obvious prelude to war. If we wait for them to make the first move, we won't stand a chance.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
See, we've been down this road before.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
On a previous offworld mission, we encountered a race known as the Eurondans. They were losing a war and they offered us technology in exchange for our help. We then discovered that they were guilty of attempted genocide.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREYLOCK 
I hardly think this situation compares. All we want is to protect our people.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I understand, but given our past experience, we are reluctant to interfere in the affairs of another planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREYLOCK 
According to Mr. Quinn's original report, you regularly interfere in the affairs of a race known as the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, that's…a little different.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The Goa'uld enslave millions of people across the galaxy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HALE 
If you were to provide us with the means for a quick and decisive victory, you could potentially save hundreds of thousands of lives. If not, we would have no choice but to fall back on our last resort.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREYLOCK 
Dr. Kieran and his team have successfully tested a naquadria bomb. Its destructive power was beyond all expectations. If you do not help us, we will have no choice but to use it.</blockquote>

'''INT—JONAS' LAB'''

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Do you believe the Kelownans are truly facing annihilation?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Just before I left, we did a detailed projection based on this scenario. We calculated that the combined enemy forces would achieve total air superiority within the first five weeks of the war.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So if the Kelownans are gonna to use the bomb, they'll have to do it fast.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
They're probably considering a pre-emptive first strike.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Really?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Colonel, I helped research this report. If they stick with conventional weapons, we are looking at a complete collapse of their entire military within six months.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Can't they negotiate? I mean, what are they fighting for anyway?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, there's a thousand different grievances that go back generations. The last major conflict we had was 20 years ago, nothing was resolved. The only difference is that in the past the Tiranians and Andaris hated each other more than the Kelownans.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Apparently, they got over it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Oh, it's a marriage of convenience. Sooner or later they'll turn on each other, but by then it'll be too late for Kelowna.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Jonas…you're a member of SG-1 now. Your priorities have changed.</blockquote>

[Jonas nods his head.]

'''INT—GENERAL HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

[O'Neill enters the office.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You wanted to see me, Sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The Joint Chiefs are meeting in an hour. They're going to want me to give them a recommendation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We can't do it, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You don't think we should help them defend themselves?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I have nothing against them defending themselves but…how do we know they'll stop there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You sound like Dr. Jackson.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We spent some time together.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
But I have to wonder if this doesn't have more to do with your own personal distaste for the Kelownans.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Possibly, Sir…</blockquote>

[O'Neill is interrupted by alarm klaxons.]

<blockquote>UNKNOWN VOICE OVER INTERCOM 
Unscheduled off-world activation!</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[O'Neill and Hammond enter and stand behind Sgt. Davis.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND

<blockquote>SGT. DAVIS 
We're receiving a signal, Sir. It's the Kelownans.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Open the iris.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Hammond exit the Control Room]

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[Kieran steps through the Gate.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Doctor Kieran.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
I apologize for Ambassador Dreylock and Commander Hale. They were called to an emergency cabinet meeting. The non-aggression pact was signed an hour ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
My superiors will be meeting soon to discuss your situation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
In the meantime, I'd like to speak to Jonas Quinn.</blockquote>

[Hammond turns back towards O'Neill, who raises his eyebrows.]

'''INT—JONAS' LAB'''

[Jonas is reading, his feet propped on a table. Kieran enters.]

<blockquote>KIERAN 
Jonas.</blockquote>

[Jonas closes the book and stands to face Kieran.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Professor…uh, I didn't know that you were back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
So this is where you're working now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah…when, uh, when I'm not off world.</blockquote>

[Jonas moves a stack of books and papers off a chair and gestures toward for Kieran to sit.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Please.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
(sitting) 
Off world…you must have seen some incredible things.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(smiling) 
Yeah…you have no idea.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
Well, you were always a dreamer, Jonas…but, of course, some of us had to stay behind to deal with reality.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, I had to leave. I mean, these people have a much better chance of doing something useful with the naquadria than we ever had.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
What good is that to Kelowna?</blockquote>

[Jonas shrugs and turns away in frustration.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, if they can master shield technology, they'll share that with us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
They won't even share their most basic military hardware.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
That's because you come to them as a representative of only one nation. What the people on our planet need to do is to get over their differences and unite.</blockquote>

[Kieran gets up and quickly closes the door to the lab. He walks back to face Jonas.]

<blockquote>KIERAN 
Do you really believe that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Of course.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
Then come with me now, and we can make it happen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What are you talking about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
I couldn't say anything before because the other two are not part of the organization. The resistance.</blockquote>

[Jonas shakes his head and raises his hand to stop Kieran.]

<blockquote>KIERAN 
I'm a member of an underground network, Jonas. We've infiltrated every level of government, the civil service, even the military. We intend to stop our leaders before they take us to the brink of destruction.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
You're talking about a coup.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
When the time is right, but we need your help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
This is insane. I mean your telling me that you're part of a secret organization that is going to seize power from the government.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
That's right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
You're going to get yourself killed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
On the contrary, this is our best chance for survival. There's wide-spread discontent with the government's hard-line war policy. That's true in Tirania and with the Andari Federation as well. The people of all three countries are sick of this never-ending conflict, but their leaders have stopped listening to them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
You really think you can succeed?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
I was at the first test of the naquadria bomb. I saw the destruction. I've been having nightmares about it ever since. We have to succeed.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[SG-1 and General Hammond are around the conference table.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
When are they going to move against the government?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I don't know, but if they intend to prevent a war, they're gonna have to do something fast.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
That will not prevent their enemies from attacking.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
According to Dr. Kieran, there's popular support for a negotiated settlement in all three countries. Now, they believe that if the resistance can seize power in Kelowna this will compel the other governments to come back to the table or risk similar uprisings. At the very least, they'll be too busy dealing with internal discontent to launch an attack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
If they can pull it off, we might have a more viable trading partner.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We need a lot more intel before we proceed with anything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The Pentagon has authorized SG-1 to return to the planet and offer the Kelownan government nonmilitary technology in exchange for naquadria.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They'll never go for it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Maybe not, but we have to explore every avenue. In the meantime I want you to make contact with the resistance and determine their strength, their numbers and their chance for success.</blockquote>

'''INT—STARGATE ROOM'''

[Kieran is standing in the room as a number of SFs enter, followed by Jonas, Carter and Teal'c. Jonas walks up to Kieran.]

<blockquote>KIERAN 
Are you ready to go home?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, I'm not expecting a parade.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
Not everyone in Kelowna thinks you're a traitor. After you left, all of us working on the naquadria project began to question what we were doing. You opened our eyes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Anyway, it's just temporary. If I stay a minute after the negotiations are finished, I'll be arrested for treason.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
That will all change after the resistance takes power.</blockquote>

[O'Neill enters the Gate room.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right. Let's move out.</blockquote>

'''INT—KELOWNA CONFERENCE CHAMBER'''

[Three Kelownan enter the room and walk towards the conference table, where Teal'c is standing looking out of a window. O'Neill, Carter and Jonas stand]

<blockquote>DREYLOCK 
Hello again. I apologize for the delay but, these are difficult times for us. May I present First Minister Valis? Colonel O'Neill, Teal'c, Major Carter…</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
…and Jonas Quinn. It's good to see you again, Jonas.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Thank you, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
Shall we?</blockquote>

[They all sit, with Valis at the head of the table.]

<blockquote>DREYLOCK 
Have you spoken with your superiors?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why yes we have…they send their best.</blockquote>

[Dreylock and Valis look at each other.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We've been authorized to continue with the trade negotiations.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
Excellent.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Before we continue…uh, there's something I'd like to clarify. Back on Earth, Ambassador Dreylock referred to recent discoveries leading to a surplus of naquadria.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
Yes, our archaeologists have discovered a series of mine shafts beneath the original site. We've managed to extract and process a considerable amount.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How much?</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
I thought you might be interested in the figures so I had it converted to your weight system. I believe it's something in the area of 300 pounds.</blockquote>

[Carter looks surprised.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh, that's an awful lot of dangerous material. If you like, I could take a look at your storage facilities. I might be able to offer some useful advice.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HALE 
That won't be necessary.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
It's purely a matter of safety. As Major Carter said the naquadria is extremely dangerous and we'd hate for some sort of accident to happen.</blockquote>

[Valis looks at Jonas.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Mmm.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Clearly you have more naquadria than you require. What, precisely, are you asking for in return?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HALE 
We need to start by addressing a serious imbalance in air power. Our enemies have superior numbers in both strategic bombers and long-range fighter escorts. Our only hope to counter them is to get our jet interceptor program off the ground.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
We've had some technical difficulties with the program, but we have managed to successfully test a few designs. We believe that with the help of Major Carter and a team of your engineers, we can have a combat-ready squadron in less than a month.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, that's not exactly what we had in mind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We understand from Jonas that Kelownan medical science currently has little or no defense against bacterial infections. We're offering a series of drugs known as antibiotics. We estimate they could save up to 15,000 lives in the first year alone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
That's a generous offer, Major, and under different circumstances, we might accept. But at the moment, we have more pressing needs.</blockquote>

[There is silence around the table.]

'''INT—DR. KIERAN'S LAB'''

[Kieran closes the lab door and walks towards SG-1. Kieran rubs his left temple.]

<blockquote>KIERAN 
So, how are the negotiations coming?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, after four hours, the only thing we could agree on was to adjourn for the day.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We're clear, Sir, no bugs.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I do not believe the Kelownans will settle for anything less than military technology.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
They know how much you want the naquadria and they think that eventually you're going to give them what they want.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
In the meantime, we need you to take us to this…resistance.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
Well, it's not that simple. I don't get in touch with them, they get in touch with me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What exactly do you do for them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
I keep them apprised of all the top-level research at the Academy of Science.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where do you meet them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
Uhh…they have a base of operations in an old warehouse by the freight yards. It's very heavily guarded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Take us there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
I can't. I'm not even supposed to go there myself unless I have a scheduled drop.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Professor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
All right. I'll…I'll talk to them.</blockquote>

'''INT—KELOWNAN RESISTANCE HQ—NIGHTTIME'''

[The HQ appears to be a large building, full of wooden crates and weapons. There are many people around, moving crates and setting up the weapons. Kieran enters and approaches a man.]

<blockquote>RESISTANCE LEADER 
We weren't expecting you this evening, Professor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
I'm sorry. I needed to talk to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RESISTANCE LEADER 
Well, this isn't a very good time to be taking risks. We've had reports that some members of the government are beginning to question your loyalty. They've been watching you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
I wasn't followed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RESISTANCE LEADER 
Is this about the delegation from Earth?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
Uh, yes, they want to meet with you.</blockquote>

[Kieran rubs his left temple.]

<blockquote>RESISTANCE LEADER 
Well, how do you know they won't betray us to the government in exchange for naquadria?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
I don't think they would do something like that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RESISTANCE LEADER 
You trust them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
I trust…Jonas.</blockquote>

'''INT—KELOWNA CONFERENCE CHAMBER—NIGHTTIME'''

[Jonas is escorted into the room.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
First Minister.</blockquote>

[Valis is sitting at the far end of the table. The room is in semi-darkness.]

<blockquote>VALIS 
Come in.</blockquote>

[Valis rises as Jonas' escort leaves, closing the doors behind her.]

<blockquote>VALIS 
I wanted a chance to talk to you Jonas, away from the negotiations. 
(gestures to the seat beside him) 
Please.</blockquote>

[Jonas walks around the table and to the chair. Both sit.]

<blockquote>VALIS 
It's difficult for me, Jonas, seeing you sitting across the table, acting as the representative of another planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
It's not easy for me either. But I made my choices and I'm going to stick by them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
I'm sure you thought you were…doing the right thing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Oh, I know I did the right thing. Stargate Command is going to use the naquadria to come up with technologies that may one day save this world from an enemy…you can't possibly imagine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
You were one of the most…promising young men any of us had ever seen. Our people had such high hopes for you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
You're not the only one who was disappointed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
I know that you think this is…the same old bad blood resurfacing again. Just…just another round of petty violence, but it's not. This time…this time, Jonas, we face total defeat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Then get back to the negotiating table. Give up some land. You do whatever it takes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
You know how much the Tiranians and the Andaris hate each other. Do you really think that they overcame 200 years of prejudice just to get us to give up a little land? They mean to destroy us, Jonas. This is merely the first step in a fight for world domination and the naquadria is the only advantage that we have. And that, is where you come in, my friend.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I come in?</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
You're a man of unique talents, Jonas, and despite what you did, I know that it's not too late for you to serve your country. I'm offering you a second chance to do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
If you're asking me to gather information about Earth technology, that's not going to happen. I will not betray my friends.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
On the contrary, I'm asking you to help a friend. Dr. Kieran hasn't been the same since you left. Unfortunately, the strain of completing the naquadria project has…has taken its toll. Lately, his behavior has become increasingly…erratic.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
How do you mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
We're concerned that in his current state, he may be prone to errors of judgment. We want someone to…watch over him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
You mean spy on him?</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
He trusts you, Jonas, and he's still very important to us. If you do this, you will be granted a full pardon. You will be reinstated into your position at the academy. Your life will resume as though none of this had ever happened. It's time, Jonas, for you to come home.</blockquote>

'''INT—DR. KIERAN'S LAB—DAYTIME'''

Oh, I'm tired.</blockquote>

[Jonas walks in.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
You've been under a lot of strain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
I can't concentrate anymore.</blockquote>

[Kieran rubs both temples.]

<blockquote>KIERAN 
I've got these headaches and my mind wanders.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
It'll all be over soon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
Do you think I should take Colonel O'Neill and the others to meet the resistance?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
They can help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
I don't know if I trust them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
You trust me, don't you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
Of course.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Don't worry, then.</blockquote>

[Kieran looks at him wearily and nods slightly.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Everything's gonna be fine.</blockquote>

'''INT—KELOWNA CONFERENCE CHAMBER—DAYTIME'''

[The three Kelownans and SG-1 are sitting at the table.]

<blockquote>HALE 
You have surface to air missiles that are capable of destroying enemy bombers before they reach our cities.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, we do, but we can't give 'em to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HALE 
It's purely a defensive technology.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes. And then one day you take down enemy aircraft defending their cities and quite suddenly, yes, quite suddenly, they become not just defensive but offensive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Any superior defensive technology can ultimately be turned into an offensive advantage.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREYLOCK 
But we are not the aggressors here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You said you wanted a quick and decisive victory. Now, we can only assume that that means you intend to press any advantage that we give you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
Yes. As a means of saving lives.</blockquote>

[A woman enters.]

<blockquote>WOMAN 
First Minister?</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
Excuse us a moment.</blockquote>

[The three Kelownans rise and walk away from the table to speak to the woman.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Jonas) 
This is proving quite fruitless.</blockquote>

[Jonas shrugs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Have you spoken with your professor?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
No, I haven't seen him today.</blockquote>

[Valis turns back toward the conference table.]

<blockquote>VALIS 
We've just received intelligence that the Tiranians are massing their troops on our northern border.</blockquote>

[O'Neill, Carter and Jonas rise.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Have they broken off diplomatic relations?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREYLOCK 
Not yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, then, there's still a chance. Maybe we could talk to them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
You?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, Stargate Command has teams of skilled diplomats. It might help to have an objective third party at the table.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
No. I'm afraid that's impossible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HALE 
That would require us to reveal the existence of the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Maybe that's not such a bad idea. Once they realize the kind of advancements they can acquire through peaceful negotiations, they may not be so eager to attack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREYLOCK 
You are asking us to reveal something to our sworn enemies that we have yet to admit to our own people.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Looks like it's time you did. Think about it. If everybody knew that this was just one in thousands of inhabited planets, don't you think that they would start focusing on their similarities instead of their differences?</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
That's a noble sentiment, Jonas. Of course, if it were that simple, I'm sure the existence of the Stargate would be public knowledge on Earth, as well. Isn't that right, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah.</blockquote>

'''INT—DR. KIERAN'S LAB'''

[Kieran is pacing agitatedly. There is a loud knock at the door.]

<blockquote>KIERAN 
Who is it?

JONAS 
Professor, it's me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
Jonas?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah, Professor, open up.</blockquote>

[Kieran opens the door to SG-1.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Is something wrong?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
Ahh…it's Tomis. Tomis Leed, he's another one of the scientists on the naquadria project.</blockquote>

[O'Neill closes the lab door.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah. What's wrong with him?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
He was transferred over night. They cleaned out his office and they won't say where he went.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Was he a member of the resistance?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
I recruited him myself. God, now I'm gonna get arrested.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
No. We don't know that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
This is not the first time it's happened. About a month ago it was Dr. Silas. They said he was transferred as well and he hasn't been seen or heard from since. We were the three original members of the project. Now, I'm the only one left.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right. We're outta here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
You're leaving?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
The negotiations are going nowhere, you're not helping us and quite frankly, your…organization is about to be exposed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
Wait! We're gonna make our move in two days, but we need your help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What are you proposing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
We're in a position to take every major government building in this city except one. This one. This is their most heavily guarded facility.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Because of the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
That's right. But you people can come and go as you please. You could get a hundred armed men in here before anyone knew what happened. You could take the building from the inside and you wouldn't have to fire a shot!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not a chance.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
Think about it. If you want this coup to succeed, it has to be quick; it has to be as bloodless as possible. If we try to take the building ourselves, we'll get caught in a drawn-out firefight and the whole thing could dissolve into a civil war.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not my problem.</blockquote>

[O'Neill turns to leave.]

<blockquote>KIERAN 
There's something else. Over the past three months, I've been smuggling small amounts of naquadria into the resistance. We've built up a considerable stockpile. If you help us, it's yours. At least talk to them. I'll set up a meeting.</blockquote>

You're being followed.</blockquote>

[Jonas points down the narrow alley where they're standing.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
This way.</blockquote>

[Jonas leads Dr. Kieran until they come to the end of the building. Jonas stops Dr. Kieran from going around the corner and checks that the way is clear.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
How far is it to resistance headquarters?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
It's just down that way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Show me.</blockquote>

[A voice suddenly yells out from back down the alley]

<blockquote>MAN 
You there! Don't move!</blockquote>

[Jonas and Kieran start running as the man fires a gun at them then runs after them. Jonas follows Kieran up a staircase, turning to fire at the man following them. They run through a building and on to stairs on an outside platform. They can go no further and the man following them fires more shots. As Kieran ducks to avoid them, he slips from the platform but grabs at a bar. Jonas shoots the man who is attacking them and he falls.]

Well, sir, he has a severe fracture to his left tibia, but it's the blunt trauma to the head that worries me. We'll keep him under observation for now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Any idea how it happened?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
According to the Kelownans, he was found lying in a deserted street. No one knows how he got there. Apparently Jonas was the one who convinced them he'd have a better chance of recovery with us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Keep me posted.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What, exactly, are the Kelownans saying?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not much.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They claim to have no knowledge of how Dr. Kieran was injured.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
And yet, he did have fear he was under threat from the government.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, but if they suspected that he was some kind of rebel spy, they would never have let us bring him back here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
His own people may have tried to take him out if they felt he had been compromised.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The question is, what do we do now? Do we go back to the table?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sir…</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
General…</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Jonas look at each other. O'Neill gestures for Jonas to continue.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
…with all due respect, if we terminate negotiations now, we're going to be backing them into a corner. The way they see it, they'll have no other choice but to launch a preemptive first strike with the naquadria bomb.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Jonas. We're gonna have to do it sooner or later. We can't give 'em what they want.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, what about the resistance? If we can help the resistance seize power, we'll still get the naquadria, plus we'll be saving millions of lives.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Even if we wanted to, realistically, there's no way we could find them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Actually sir, that's not exactly true.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Major?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, if Dr. Kieran really did smuggle naquadria to the resistance headquarters, I can track it.</blockquote>

'''INT—KELOWNA INDUSTRIAL AREA—DAYTIME'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
This is where they found Dr. Kieran.</blockquote>

[Carter is holding a sensor device which beeps as she points it in different directions.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm picking something up. This way.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Dr. Kieran wakes up to see Jonas sitting next to him.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Professor?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
Jonas, where am I?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
You're safe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
We need to get to the resistance, they need our help.</blockquote>

[Kieran tries to rise, but Jonas stands to stop him.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
It's all right, it's all right. Everything's going as planned. We'll be making contact soon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
We have to stop the First Minister from using the bomb.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
We will. We will.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
I never meant for it to turn out this way, Jonas. We were scientists. We thought we were pursuing knowledge. We had no idea what we were creating.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
It's not your fault.</blockquote>

[Hammond walks into the infirmary and up to Fraiser, who is sitting at a terminal.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You have something, Doctor?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Yes, sir. These are Dr. Kieran's PET scans. It shows no sign of brain damage from the injury, but there is something else. These images are consistent with someone suffering from advanced schizophrenia.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Dr. Kieran's one of Kelowna's leading scientists. He's the head of their most top-secret program.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I know, I can't explain it. The onset of this disease is extremely rare over the age of 35.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That would mean he's been functioning for at least 20 years without anyone noticing his condition.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It's almost inconceivable.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What kind of symptoms are we talking about here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Paranoia, delusions, possibly even full-blown hallucinations.</blockquote>

[Jonas is sitting at Kieran's bedside.]

<blockquote>KIERAN 
I'm glad you weren't there the day we tested the bomb, Jonas.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
It must have been hard for you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
I'll never forget it. The ground shook, the air caught fire, the destruction was unimaginable.</blockquote>

[In the observation room, a monitor shows Kieran lying in the bed. Through the observation window, Jonas can be seen sitting next to him, but there is no sign of Jonas on the monitor. Kieran is imagining that Jonas is sitting next to him.]

'''INT—KELOWNA CONFERENCE CHAMBER—DAYTIME'''

[Commander Hale is pointing at a map on the table and talking to First Minister Valis.]

<blockquote>HALE 
The Tiranian central forces are located here. We'll move the third division and the reserves to this point.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
How long can we resist?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
First Minister?</blockquote>

[Jonas walks into the room, flanked by two guards.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
We need to talk.</blockquote>

'''INT—KELOWNAN RESISTANCE HQ'''

[Carter, Teal'c, and O'Neill approach a building.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
This way, Sir.</blockquote>

[The area and the building have obviously been abandoned for a very long time.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
In here.</blockquote>

[Carter, Teal'c and O'Neill walk in to the building and look around.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter, you sure?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, sir. This is the place.</blockquote>

[Carter is scanning the area.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Over here, sir. 
(lifts the lid of a crate) 
Naquadria. A lot of it.</blockquote>

[The crate contains several containers.]

'''INT—KELOWNA CONFERENCE CHAMBER—DAYTIME'''

<blockquote>HALE 
We must defend ourselves.</blockquote>

[Jonas is standing, leaning on the conference table at the opposite end from Hale and Valis.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
You're going to use the naquadria bomb, aren't you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HALE 
If Earth will not help us, we have no choice.</blockquote>

[Jonas walks towards Hale and Valis.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
I wish you could see what I've seen. I have actually been on board a Goa'uld mothership. I've seen their destructive power. They can park in orbit and systematically annihilate every major city on our entire planet, regardless of who's Kelownan or Tiranian. To them we're all just potential slaves.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
Jonas, the Goa'uld haven't been here for a thousand years. What makes you think they would come back now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
The naquadria is a derivative of naquadah, which is the very basis of their technology. It's literally in their blood. They can smell it. If you continue using it, I guarantee you, eventually, they will take notice.</blockquote>

[O'Neill enters the room.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Jonas. We're leaving.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(to Valis and Hale) 
Just…wait.</blockquote>

[Jonas walks back to talk quietly with O'Neill.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
What happened?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter and Teal'c are back at the SGC already.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What about the resistance?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There is no resistance. It was all in his head. A fantasy.</blockquote>

[Jonas shakes his head in disbelief.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
That's impossible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
This is from Fraiser. Dr. Kieran is schizophrenic. It might be a side effect of the research they've been doing here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
The naquadria…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's time to go home.</blockquote>

[Jonas motions for O'Neill to wait just a moment and turns to go back to the other end of the table.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Jonas…</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(to Valis and Hale) 
What happened to Dr. Silas and Dr. Leed?</blockquote>

[Valis and Hale look at each other.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
They weren't transferred, were they?</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
They were taken to a government mental facility, Jonas.</blockquote>

[Jonas points at Valis accusingly.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
You knew.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VALIS 
No. We suspected. We had thought that Dr. Silas was a unique case, but when Dr. Leed began to exhibit similar behavior, we became concerned.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
That's why you wanted me to keep an eye on him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HALE 
We had to keep it quiet, so as not to alarm the other scientists. Their research is too important.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

<blockquote>FRAISER 
As near as I can tell, it's a unique form of brain damage resulting from long-term exposure to naquadria radiation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I went over the specs from the Kelownan bomb project. It looks like they never had proper shielding.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Is Jonas at risk?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
No. I've already tested him. He's negative. My guess is, he didn't have enough exposure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The Pentagon is eager to resume our own research on the naquadria you found in the warehouse.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
That shouldn't be a problem, sir. I mean we are double-checking, but I think that our existing safeguards are sufficient.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I sent a message to the Kelownans detailing the risk and offering our help to upgrade their facilities. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten any response.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
In fact, we've heard nothing from the Kelownans since Colonel O'Neill and Jonas returned.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They may well be at war by now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What about Dr. Kieran?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
With proper medication, we can keep his condition from deteriorating. Unfortunately, there's no way to reverse the damage that's already been done.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Jonas walks and stands next to Dr. Kieran's bed. He can be seen on the observation room monitor. A nurse is taking Kieran's pulse.]

<blockquote>KIERAN 
Jonas.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Professor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
I hear I'm being moved today.</blockquote>

[Jonas sits at Kieran's bedside.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah. We're gonna to take you to a…facility that's better equipped to deal with your needs.</blockquote>

[When the nurse leaves his side, Dr. Kieran leans in to speak more quietly to Jonas.]

<blockquote>KIERAN 
I understand everything is in place for the coup.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Really?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
They're keeping me informed.</blockquote>

[Dr. Kieran looks up and sees the Resistance Leader standing in the observation area. The Leader nods his head to Kieran. Jonas follows his gaze to look up at the observation area, but sees no one.]

<blockquote>KIERAN 
After they take power, the resistance is going to dismantle the bomb, and shut down the naquadria project forever.</blockquote>

[Jonas smiles sadly and nods at Dr. Kieran.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
That's good, Professor. They couldn't have done it without you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KIERAN 
Do you really think so?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I know so. You saved the world.</blockquote>

'''TEASER'''

'''EXT—KHONSU'S PLANET'''

[A large pyramid is in the background. In the foreground is a lake with a Stargate at the water's edge. A couple of death gliders fly overhead.]

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID—THRONE ROOM'''

[A Jaffa enters, carrying a staff weapon. The corridor is lined with armed Jaffa. The Jaffa kneels.]

<blockquote>HER'AK 
Lord Khonsu.</blockquote>

[Khonsu is sitting on a throne, behind which hang a number of weapons.]

<blockquote>KHONSU 
I have a task for you, Her'ak</blockquote>

<blockquote>HER'AK 
How may I serve you, my Lord?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KHONSU 
This mission is of great importance so there's not much time. If you succeed, Anubis himself will be most pleased.</blockquote>

[Her'ak smiles and Khonsu rises from the throne.]

<blockquote>KHONSU 
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…alive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HER'AK 
My Lord, may I ask who is so valuable?</blockquote>

[Her'ak rises as Khonsu walks towards him.]

<blockquote>KHONSU 
Three humans and a Jaffa, known to the Tau'ri as SG-1.</blockquote>

'''EXT—ALIEN PLANET—P5X-112—SCIENTIFIC CAMP'''

[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.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
I calculate platform mass at 12.9 metric tons, consistent with the one on P4X-233.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MEYERS 
And every other ring transporter we've measured. Suggests some sort of standardization, don't you think?</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
You think the Goa'uld have a big plant somewhere that just stamps these things out?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MEYERS 
Jay, how's it coming with the energy levels left in that power cell?</blockquote>

[There is no reply from Jay, who cannot be seen.]

<blockquote>MEYERS 
Jay?</blockquote>

[Meyers walks up to Jay, followed by Coombs. Jay (Felger) is staring into the distance.]

<blockquote>MEYERS 
The power cell?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Hmm?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MEYERS 
The power cell?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Yeah, yeah I'm working on it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MEYERS 
No…</blockquote>

[Meyers snaps his fingers in front of Felger's eyes.]

<blockquote>MEYERS 
…you're not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Look at them. They are so cool.</blockquote>

[Felger takes a few paces towards O'Neill and Teal'c who are standing some twenty feet away.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Jay, enough already. It's embarrassing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MEYERS 
Not to mention unprofessional.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
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>

<blockquote>MEYERS 
Come on, Felger. We're studying an old piece of Goa'uld technology and they're babysitting us.</blockquote>

[Meyers walks away. Felger, still staring at O'Neill and Teal'c and grinning, ignores him.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
What do you think they're talking about, right now?</blockquote>

[Coombs shrugs in despair and also walks away.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So T, who you taking in the Cup?</blockquote>

[Teal'c looks at O'Neill, puzzled.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Lord Stanley's Cup?</blockquote>

[Teal'c raises his left eyebrow.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hockey? Remember, with the ice and skating?</blockquote>

[Teal'c raises both eyebrows slightly.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We went to a game last year.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Indeed. I believe the Canucks of Vancouver are superior warriors.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Canucks, eh?</blockquote>

[O'Neill pauses for a moment, seemingly surprised.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So, lunch?</blockquote>

[O'Neill moves away towards the three scientists. Teal'c follows. Felger is still watching O'Neill and Teal'c.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Here they come.</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Yes, yes, that does look like a very important breakthrough. Good work, Coombs.</blockquote>

[Felger pats Coombs on the back, while Meyers walks away.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Carry on.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c walk past Coombs and Felger.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Progress, professor?</blockquote>

[Felger rushes to walk alongside O'Neill.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Definitely, yes. Big stuff going on here…big. I can give you a full report if you want.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Save it for Carter. We just came here for the fine cuisine.</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Of course, yeah. I mean her…her DHD reports are unbelievable aren't they? I mean, she is single handedly revolutionizing our knowledge of Stargate technology.</blockquote>

[He looks at both Teal'c and O'Neill, who seem to be ignoring him as they look over the MREs.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Any word on how that's going?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
No, no.</blockquote>

[O'Neill passes a pouch over to Teal'c.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Turkey?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Turkey there.</blockquote>

[Teal'c nods and smiles as he accepts the pouch.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
I guess I'll just get back to work, then.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Are you nearing the completion of your research?</blockquote>

[A crash is heard.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Ow! Jeez. Who put that scanner there?</blockquote>

[Teal'c raises an eyebrow.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Uh…well, it may be a few more days yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's your time frame there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Um, a day or so, you know, but then you guys can get right back to saving the world again…</blockquote>

[Felger quickly thumps O'Neill on the arm a couple of times. O'Neill looks at his arm then looks at Felger. Felger laughs.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
For the seventh time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Eighth.</blockquote>

[Felger and O'Neill look at Teal'c.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What, you're counting?</blockquote>

[Teal'c raises an eyebrow and shrugs slightly.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(over radio) 
Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(into radio) 
Yeah, Carter. Go.</blockquote>

'''EXT—P5X-112—STARGATE DHD'''

[The Stargate is shutting down as Jonas walks towards Carter.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We just received an urgent message from General Hammond.</blockquote>

'''EXT—P5X-112—SCIENTIFIC CAMP'''

[Felger is standing very close to O'Neill and listening over his shoulder. O'Neill almost does a double-take.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Roger that. We're on our way.</blockquote>

[There is another crashing sound.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Oh, good one, that's only worth about two hundred thousand dollars.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Felger?</blockquote>

[O'Neill pronounces Felger's name incorrectly, as he does throughout the mission.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Yes?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We've got to check something out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Can I help?</blockquote>

[O'Neill, Felger and Teal'c walk away from the table. Teal'c grabs his staff weapon on the way.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
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>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Well, what could go wrong?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Got it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Yes, Colonel.</blockquote>

[As O'Neill and Teal'c walk away, Felger stares after them.]

'''EXT—P5X-112—SCIENTIFIC CAMP'''

[Some time later, Felger comes running down the slope into the camp. He approaches Coombs and Meyers who are kneeling over equipment.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Aren't you guys the slightest bit worried about them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
They'll be back, Felger. Can't you see, they're just having fun with you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
What are you talking about? There's something going on out there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Oh, please, huh? They're just tired of your butt-snorkeling.</blockquote>

[Coombs rises to face Felger.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
(mockingly) 
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>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Bite me, Coombs! At least my heroes exist. If this was a Trek convention you'd be all dressed up like a Klingon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Vulcan, Felger, Vulcan.</blockquote>

[Coombs and Felger face off against each other.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
And I don't know how you can call yourself a scientist and not worship at the alter of Roddenberry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
(mockingly) 
Oooh, how we gonna get outta this one Captain? Oh, I don't know, something to do with a tachyon emitter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MEYERS 
Guys, knock it off. Now, what say we hook up the Naquadah generator and see if we can't get this baby started.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Fine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
(under his breath to Coombs) 
Nerd.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
(to Felger) 
Geek.</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>MEYERS 
Was that what I think it was?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
An Alkesh. Mid range Goa'uld attack vessel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
But this planet was supposedly abandoned centuries ago. There isn't even anything here except…</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
SG-1.</blockquote>

[Felger runs to grab a radio off a box.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
(into radio) 
Colonel O'Neill, Felger. We just saw an Alkesh.</blockquote>

'''EXT—P5X-112—RUINS NEAR STARGATE'''

[O'Neill and Carter are sheltering behind some ruins. As O'Neill fires his weapon, a zat is discharged.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(into radio) 
I know! Stay put! Remember what I told you. Wait till it's clear, get to the gate, report to Hammond.</blockquote>

[Jonas is behind another wall, firing a zat.]

'''EXT—P5X-112—SCIENTIFIC CAMP'''

[The three scientists can hear gunfire in the distance.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
(into radio) 
Colonel O'Neill? Major Carter?</blockquote>

'''EXT—P5X-112—RUINS NEAR STARGATE'''

[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.]

'''EXT—P5X-112—SCIENTIFIC CAMP'''

[The noise of the battle can be clearly heard.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Oh, they're in trouble.</blockquote>

[Felger runs off in the direction of the gunfire.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Hey! Where you going Felger? He told us to stay put.</blockquote>

[Meyers and Coombs reluctantly run after Felger.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
(into radio) 
Colonel O'Neill? Major Carter?</blockquote>

'''EXT—P5X-112—NEAR STARGATE'''

[Felger comes to an overhang and scrambles down to lie on his stomach.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Oh, no. Oh…</blockquote>

<blockquote>MEYERS 
This is ridiculous, Felger. You're gonna get us…</blockquote>

[Meyers and Coombs run up to him. Felger turns to grab Meyers' leg to pull him to the ground.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Shut up.</blockquote>

[Meyers, in turn, grabs Coombs' arm to pull him down.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Look.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Oh, my God.</blockquote>

[Felger gestures ahead, where SG-1 are being led by the Jaffa towards the Alkesh.]

'''EXT—P5X-112'''

[The three scientist are running back to the ruins and the science camp.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
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>

<blockquote>MEYERS 
Colonel O'Neill said it himself. We have to go back to Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
I know what he said, but I'm the senior advisor on this mission and I'm making a command decision.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MEYERS 
You're a lecturer in residence at M.I.T.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
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>

[Felger grabs the naquadah generator.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Technically, they're not behind. We are.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Meyers, you go back through the gate, tell General Hammond what's happened.</blockquote>

[Felger turns to walk away.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
What about us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
We're going after SG-1.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
No, really.</blockquote>

[Felger kneels and places the generator by the ring transporter.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
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>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
No, really.</blockquote>

[Felger opens a small panel on the transporter.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
What? You want their death on your heads?</blockquote>

[Felger gets up, followed by Coombs and heads over to a number of cases.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
You're just adding our deaths to theirs.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
(To Meyers) 
Would you go?</blockquote>

[Meyers grimaces at Felger then turns to leave. Felger, carrying a couple of cases, and Coombs return to the transporter.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Help me calibrate this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Jay, we haven't run any tests, we have no idea how stable any link will be, assuming we can even get one.</blockquote>

[Felger has removed a crystal from the open panel and places a probe in its place. A number of other crystals light up.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
We're not out of range.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Jay? Are you sure about this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Think about it, Simon. What would Colonel O'Neill do if he was here now?</blockquote>

[Felger hands a pistol to Coombs.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
You want me to shoot you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Let's go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
All right.</blockquote>

[As Felger and Coombs step into the rings, they activate.]

'''EXT—SPACE'''

[The rings beam up to the mothership.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP'''

[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.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Nicely done. We were alone, but that'll probably change now.</blockquote>

[Felger motions with his hand.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Please, shh…just…okay. Area secure. Let's move out.</blockquote>

[Coombs, obviously not happy, follows Felger to a doorway. Both jump back as the door automatically opens. They walk through into a corridor.]

'''EXT—SGC CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN COMPLEX DAY'''

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Alarms are sounding. Davis is sitting at a terminal. Hammond comes up behind him.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What've we got, Sergeant?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
It's SG-1's code, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Open the iris.</blockquote>

[Hammond leaves the Control Room.]

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[A number of armed SFs are aiming at the Stargate. Hammond enters just as Meyers comes through the gate.]

<blockquote>MEYERS 
(out of breath) 
SG-1…they…took…SG-1.</blockquote>

[Meyers virtually collapses into Hammond's arms at the bottom of the ramp.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Slow down, son. Take it easy. Where's the rest of your team?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MEYERS 
(out of breath) 
Ship, lots of Jaffa, SG-1 captured, flew away, sir.</blockquote>

[Hammond gestures for the SFs to lower their weapons.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Where are professors Felger and Coombs?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MEYERS 
They used the rings at the ruins to go up to the ship, to rescue SG-1.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
They did what?</blockquote>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP'''

[Coombs and Felger are crawling through a small shaft.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Damn it, Felger. This cannot be the way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
I swear…</blockquote>

[Felger stops and tries to open a panel but is unable to.]

<blockquote>FELGER

<blockquote>COOMBS 
That's what you said three lefts ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Head!</blockquote>

[Coombs hits his head on the shaft roof. Felger laughs.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CELL'''

[Teal'c and O'Neill are sitting on a bench, with Jonas and Carter sitting across the room from them.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(to Jonas) 
How come you're not smiling?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Should I be?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, it is your first time being capture by a Goa'uld.</blockquote>

[Both Carter and Jonas smile.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Funny.</blockquote>

[Jonas sighs and lies his head back against the wall.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
So what now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We wait.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Shouldn't we be trying to escape?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oddly, no. It won't be long.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Before what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, some overdressed, over the top bad guy floats in gloating about whatever evil fate awaits us.</blockquote>

[Jonas nods, eyebrows raised. O'Neill pauses, listening.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Wait for it.</blockquote>

[Both outer and inner doors to the cell open. Her'ak enters, followed by a number of Jaffa.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
See?</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c stand.]

<blockquote>HER'AK 
Colonel O'Neill. Major Carter. The so-called greatest of all Tau'ri warriors. And the Shol'va, Teal'c.</blockquote>

[O'Neill turns to grasp Teal'c's shoulder and pat him on the back. Her'ak turns to Jonas.]

<blockquote>HER'AK 
You, I'm not familiar with.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He's new.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Who are you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HER'AK 
I am Her'ak, First Prime to Lord Khonsu of Amon Shek.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Very impressive. Got a resumé?</blockquote>

[Her'ak smirks.]

<blockquote>HER'AK 
I captured you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes. Right. You did. Well done. You've got the job.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HER'AK 
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>

[Her'ak and the Jaffa leave.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter, be honest. The resumé gag…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It needs work, O'Neill.</blockquote>

[The mothership is heading for a wormhole.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CORRIDOR'''

[A wall panel falls to the floor.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Shhh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
I didn't do anything.</blockquote>

[Coombs and Felger climb out of the vent. Felger, holding his weapon, crouches and scuttles over to the other side of the corridor.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
You have no idea where you're going.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Of course I do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Oh yeah, then what were we doing in the vent?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Staying out of sight. Would you stop worrying? I've studied blueprints of these motherships. Holding cells are this way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Oh please, you've studied Goa'uld mothership blueprints?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Information's an SG team's greatest ally.</blockquote>

[As Felger crouches and scampers along the corridor, Coombs walks along.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
You know what an SG team's greatest ally is? An SG team!</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Will you relax? Okay, it's this way.</blockquote>

[Felger heads off, followed by Coombs. Some seconds later they return and move off down another corridor.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
No, this way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
I'm gonna kill you.</blockquote>

[Felger again scampers down the corridor, weapon held up with both hands next to his face.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Would you quit doing that?</blockquote>

[Felger turns around to face Coombs.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
This?</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Don't point the gun!</blockquote>

[Both men head off around a corner.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CELL'''

[Jonas and Carter are looking up at a large vent, obviously hearing whistling which is coming via the vent.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Is that a bird?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I do not believe so.</blockquote>

[Teal'c and O'Neill stand. O'Neill goes over to the vent.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
(quietly, through the vent) 
These panels are held in place magnetically. We have to cut the power.</blockquote>

[O'Neill leans closer to the panel.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Who is that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Colonel O'Neill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Felger?</blockquote>

[Felger removes the panel.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Oh, Colonel O'Neill. Are you all right, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(frustrated) 
What are you doing here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Stand easy, we're here to rescue you.</blockquote>

[Felger grins.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Did he say we?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
That's right. I have Coombs with me.</blockquote>

[Coombs appears in the vent.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Hi.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(sarcastically) 
Why, look everybody, he's got Coombs with him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
You can thank us later. Right now we have to get you out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(angrily) 
Felger! Just what part of gate home did you not understand?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Well, we just couldn't let our fellow SG team members be taken…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Felger!</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
What about never leave a man behind?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What about we allowed ourselves to be captured. 
(furious) 
On purpose.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Oh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
You what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're on a mission, you nit!</blockquote>

[Felger and Coombs look at each other sheepishly.]

'''EXT—SPACE'''

[The mothership is heading for a wormhole.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CELL'''

[O'Neill and Teal'c are glaring at Felger and Coombs, who are now out of the vent.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Please don't be angry, we just thought…</blockquote>

[Felger grins nervously as Coombs points at him.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
It was Felger all the way. His idea completely.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Okay, well, I don't understand. I mean, what do you mean you're on a mission?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The Goa'uld we're being taken to see is actually an undercover Tok'ra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Oh, yeah Oh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
I see. Uh, well, why the ruse?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Very few of Khonsu's Jaffa know his true identity. Her'ak and his men had to believe they had truly captured us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
See, I knew it was too easy. I mean, you guys have taken out more Jaffa than that before, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Professor, we know you meant well but you've actually put us in a really awkward position.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Well, why not tell us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Because you didn't need to know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
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>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Why didn't this Khonsu just, you know, send the intel to you? I mean, why the big song and dance?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
He's collected vital information on how and where Anubis is getting his new technology.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
As we have said, Khonsu's true loyalties are carefully hidden. He could trust no one to carry such information in his place.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
He needs to remain undercover to continue his work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So did we.</blockquote>

[Coombs thumps Felger on the arm.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Way to go, Felger.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Wait a minute, we got up here undetected. We haven't ruined anything yet. Nobody knows we're here.</blockquote>

[Teal'c turns to the door, obviously hearing footsteps,]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Someone approaches.</blockquote>

[A Jaffa and guard enter. O'Neill stands nonchalantly by a wall.]

<blockquote>DOL'OK 
I am Dol'ok, free Jaffa, loyal to Khonsu the Tok'ra.</blockquote>

[Carter, Teal'c and Jonas are standing shoulder to shoulder. They all nod at Dol'ok. The guard checks that no-one is approaching.]

<blockquote>DOL'OK 
Thank you for your patience.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What patience? Can we get our weapons back? Not that we don't trust you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DOL'OK 
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>

[Dol'ok notices two pairs of feet behind Carter, Teal'c and Jonas. Felger and Coombs show themselves either side of Teal'c.]

<blockquote>DOL'OK 
Who are they?</blockquote>

[Felger and Coombs duck down.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
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>

<blockquote>DOL'OK 
I will do what I can.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Appreciate that.</blockquote>

[O'Neill pats Dol'ok's shoulder.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Felger and Coombs) 
Hey!</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oy.</blockquote>

'''EXT—KHONSU'S PLANET'''

[A large pyramid is in the background. In the foreground is a lake with a Stargate at the water's edge. A number of death gliders fly overhead.]

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID'''

[Her'ak appears on a large screen. A couple of guards are in the room. Khonsu steps closer to the screen.]

<blockquote>HER'AK 
As ordered, we have SG-1 alive and uninjured.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KHONSU 
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>

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>HER'AK 
My thanks. Shall I interrogate the prisoners on your behalf, my lord? Surely there is much that they can reveal?</blockquote>

[Khonsu appears on a large screen.]

<blockquote>KHONSU 
No. When you arrive, bring them before me. I will use my own methods to learn what they know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HER'AK 
As you wish, my lord.</blockquote>

[As the image of Khonsu fades, Her'ak turns away and sneers.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CARGO BAY'''

[Felger and Coombs are sitting behind storage crates, as another crate is moved into position to hide them.]

<blockquote>DOL'OK 
Please do not venture from this place until we have returned. Should you be discovered your lives would be forfeit.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
You got it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
You try to help people, this is the thanks you get.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
I should have shot you.</blockquote>

[Another crate is moved into position to completely hide them.]

'''EXT—SPACE'''

[The mothership is orbiting a planet. A transporter beam is being fed from the ship to the pyramid on the planet.]

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID—CORRIDOR'''

[Her'ak leads SG-1 through the pyramid, flanked by guards.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So, when do we get to meet this old Ginsu guy?</blockquote>

[Her'ak opens a large doorway and SG-1 step through.]

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID—CELL'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nice.</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah! 
(to Carter and Teal'c) 
Don't touch that. 
(to Her'ak) 
Hey, Her'ak!</blockquote>

[Her'ak stops in the doorway and turns back to face SG-1.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What, no gloating? Take some pride in your work, son.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HER'AK 
You shall all be forced to bow before my master soon enough.</blockquote>

[Her'ak and the guards leave the room. Jonas shakes his head as the door closes. O'Neill sighs and shrugs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You know, this whole imprisoned for our own protection is getting a little old.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What choice did we have? If we want this information, we have to trust Khonsu.</blockquote>

[O'Neill shrugs in agreement.]

'''INT—MOTHERSHIP CARGO BAY'''

[Felger and Coombs are sitting behind the crates. Felger has his head in his hands.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
I knew I should have updated my will before agreeing to off-world assignments.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
You are not going to die, Coombs.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Oh, come on, Felger. We might as well be wearing red shirts.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
I don't get that?</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>JAFFA 
Shol'va!</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Oh, my God. I think I'm gonna throw up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Oh, these poor bastards.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Jay, I can't do this. I've gotta get out of here.</blockquote>

[Coombs moves from behind the crates, heading for the door.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Simon, Simon, Simon, Simon.</blockquote>

[Felger grabs Coombs.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
No! I'm not a soldier. I teach applied math at Yale! I have a vespa and two cats.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
(quietly) 
Just get a hold of yourself! Don't you get it Simon? Jaffa do not kill each other for fun.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
They don't?</blockquote>

[Coombs gestures at Dol'ok.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
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>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Hinky?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Yeah, it's a word.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
In what dictionary?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
I have a plan.</blockquote>

[Felger grins.]

'''EXT—KHONSU'S PLANET—STARGATE'''

[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.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
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>

[They are walking though a wooded area.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Because if we stayed on that ship we'd both be dead right now and you know it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Oh yeah, and we're better off down here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
When are you going to start trusting me, Simon? I have four post graduate degrees.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
And not one of them cover Jaffa military tactics.</blockquote>

[As they step up a slight incline, a Jaffa appears behind them.]

<blockquote>JAFFA 
What are you doing here?</blockquote>

[Felger and Coombs turn slowly to face the Jaffa.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Uh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
(put-on deeper voice) 
He is sick. I believe it is something he ate.</blockquote>

[Coombs nods then vomits. Felger zats the Jaffa.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Nicely done, nicely done.</blockquote>

[Felger pats a shocked Coombs on the arm.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Jay, you just shot that guy. I mean you really shot him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
No, zatted, that's completely different.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Zatted…shot…</blockquote>

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

'''EXT—KHONSU'S PLANET—PYRAMID'''

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID—THRONE ROOM'''

[Khonsu is seated on the throne, with a number of Jaffa guards lining the room. Her'ak enters with several other Jaffa.]

<blockquote>KHONSU 
Her'ak.</blockquote>

[Her'ak stands before the throne. Felger and Coombs—no longer wearing his glasses—enter the room and stand at the back, behind a number of Jaffa.]

<blockquote>KHONSU 
Where are the prisoners?</blockquote>

[Her'ak does not reply. Khonsu stands.]

<blockquote>KHONSU 
Answer me. Where is SG-1?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HER'AK 
They are no longer your concern.</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>HER'AK 
We are betrayed, brothers. Our God was not who he claimed to be.</blockquote>

[Khonsu turns over onto his back.]

<blockquote>HER'AK 
Khonsu is Tok'ra.</blockquote>

[The Jaffa deactivate their staff weapons.]

<blockquote>HER'AK 
He would weaken us like a cancer from within, destroying our one true God. Anubis.</blockquote>

[Her'ak again fires on Khonsu.]

<blockquote>HER'AK 
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>

[Her'ak sits on Khonsu's throne.]

<blockquote>HER'AK 
Anubis is coming.</blockquote>

[SG-1 are led into the room. O'Neill looks around.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where's Khonsu?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HER'AK 
Khonsu is dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Dead? Completely dead or semi-dead? You guys seem to have a grey area in that regard.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HER'AK 
His true loyalties were well known. Once his betrayal bore fruit, his existence was no longer required.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You calling us fruit?</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah! Crap! I hate that thing.</blockquote>

[Her'ak smirks.]

<blockquote>HER'AK 
Now that, Colonel O'Neill, is what I call pride in my work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Good job!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HER'AK 
I want names, Colonel, of all the Tok'ra hiding within Anubis' ranks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, ask Khonsu. Oh wait, you can't, you killed him.</blockquote>

[Her'ak again uses the pain-stick on O'Neill, as Jonas struggles to get free.]

<blockquote>HER'AK 
Tell me!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We don't know anything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
He's not lying. Our orders were to make contact with Khonsu. That's it. Any information you want died with him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Forget it, Carter. He's just the warm up band and he knows it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HER'AK 
No matter what you have endured, you have never experienced the likes of what Anubis is capable of.</blockquote>

[O'Neill stares up at Her'ak, who has returned to the platform.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You ended that sentence with a preposition. Bastard!</blockquote>

[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.]

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Davis is seated at a terminal, with Hammond sitting next to him.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That was his last transmission?</blockquote>

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

[Hammond rises as Meyers enters.]

<blockquote>MEYERS 
Excuse me, sir. Anything on SG-1?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
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>

<blockquote>MEYERS 
Oh, no.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
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>

<blockquote>MEYERS 
Is there no chance of mounting some sort of rescue? I'd be happy to volunteer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I appreciate that, but the planet's very heavily guarded. That was one of the reasons SG-1 had to go in undercover.</blockquote>

[Hammond turns to walk away.]

<blockquote>MEYERS 
Sir, with all due respect, I thought you didn't leave people behind?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
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>

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID—CORRIDOR'''

[Felger crouches around a corner and grabs Coombs who walks out, almost uncaring.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Don't do that.</blockquote>

[Felger creeps through the room from pillar to pillar, followed by Coombs, who is speaking loudly.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
All right. So maybe you did study Goa'uld mothership plans, but how can you possibly know where we're going now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
(whispering) 
I don't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Jay, this is bad.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
I know!</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Look, our best shot is just to get back to SGC, tell them what happened, where SG-1 is and…</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
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>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
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>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Come on, Coombs! This op is up to us and you know it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Op?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Op, op, op, op! It's operation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Well, just say operation then. Say operation like normal people.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Keep your voice down.</blockquote>

[A door opens and Felger and Coombs enter a large circular room.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
We have to learn everything we can about this place, find some weakness and exploit it.</blockquote>

[The room appears empty, apart from a large, tall pillar.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Uh huh. How the heck are we supposed to do that?</blockquote>

[Felger walks up to the pillar and presses a button. The pillar slides open to reveal a control panel.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
How'd you know how to do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Well, the writing in the hall said this was the control room.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
It did?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
I thought you said you read Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
I do, sort of.</blockquote>

[Both men sit at a chair at the control panel.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Well, this should be able to tell us everything we need to know.</blockquote>

[They start moving crystals around. A large holo-screen appears before them, with writings and diagrams flashing past.]

<blockquote>FELGER

<blockquote>O'NEILL

[O'Neill stands and looks to the ceiling.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
(over intercom) 
We're inside the pyramid, sir. We're hiding in the control room.</blockquote>

[O'Neill gestures in irritation.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, they could have access to the pyramid security systems including force shield controls.</blockquote>

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID—CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>FELGER 
We're working on it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(over intercom) 
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>

[A holo-image of the pyramid appears before Felger and Coombs.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Yeah, there's a lot of stuff here, Major. Okay</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(over intercom) 
Felger, we need weapons.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS

<blockquote>COOMBS

Either that or a bathroom.</blockquote>

[Felger turns back to Coombs.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Wwh…</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
I can do this.</blockquote>

[Coombs moves to the centre of the chair and gestures Felger away.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
(into intercom) 
On my way, sir.</blockquote>

[Felger grins and laughs.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
(To Coombs) 
You get the shield down and use your radio from now on.</blockquote>

[Felger leaves and Coombs presses buttons on the panel.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
This is unbelievable. Everything is in here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Coombs. What's going on?</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS

[The force field de-activates.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nice.</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nice.</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, look professor, this little stunt of yours does not excuse the fact that you disobeyed a direct order. From me. Twice.</blockquote>

[Felger, looking sheepish, removes the Jaffa skull cap.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Do it again I'll shoot you. Are we…?</blockquote>

[Felger responds quickly.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
…Crystal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Do you wanna hear the rest of my plan?</blockquote>

[Felger grins at O'Neill.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
(over the intercom) 
Our plan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
(via radio) 
I said stay on the radio.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Just…tell me what you know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Okay. There's a shield around the pyramid. The Stargate's outside that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So Coombs could get the shield down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
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>

[Felger laughs.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Piece of cake.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We take out the Jaffa.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
We…as in you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How many?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
A dozen, tops.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
A dozen?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Yeah, and they got some of those really big guns.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Good plan, Felger, good plan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Come on, you're SG-1, this is what you do.</blockquote>

[Jonas, Carter and Teal'c look at each other as O'Neill ponders.]

[O'Neill walks down the pillar-lined room, followed by the others.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(via radio, quietly) 
Coombs, talk to me.</blockquote>

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID—CONTROL ROOM'''

[Coombs is studying a map on the holo-imager before him.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
(into radio) 
Okay, hang another left and then two rights and then there'll be a door and beyond that is daylight.</blockquote>

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID—ROOM'''

[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.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Felger?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
(into radio) 
Coombs?</blockquote>

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID—CONTROL ROOM'''

[Coombs is obviously frustrated. He pulls off his skull cap.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
(into radio) 
I'm sorry. This coding is very confusing. Just wait a second.</blockquote>

[Coombs presses some more buttons.]

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID—ROOM'''

[Felger is staring at O'Neill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What?</blockquote>

[Felger walks up to O'Neill as Carter enters another code on the door panel.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
I can't believe that I'm here…with you…like this. It's…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, I'm having the same problem.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
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>

[Teal, who has been guarding the doorway into the room, enters and stands behind a pillar. Footsteps can be heard.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Okay, that's not my fault because there's no possible… 
(into radio) 
Simon? Simon, hurry up, we've got company.</blockquote>

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID—CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Wait, wait, wait!</blockquote>

[Coombs is urgently reading the holo-image.]

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID—ROOM'''

[O'Neill grabs Felger's radio.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Give me that. 
(into radio) 
Now! Coombs.</blockquote>

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID—CONTROL ROOM'''

[Coombs presses a number of buttons on the panel.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
I got it!</blockquote>

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID—ROOM'''

[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.]

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID—CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>COOMBS 
(into radio) 
Shield is down.</blockquote>

'''EXT—KHONSU'S PLANET—FOREST'''

<blockquote>FELGER 
Way to go, Simon!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(furious) 
Shush. 
(into radio) 
Get your ass to the nearest ring transport and wait for my signal.</blockquote>

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID—CONTROL ROOM'''

[Coombs switches off the panel and runs over to the doorway.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You've been a great audience, but I really must be…</blockquote>

[The door opens to reveal a number of Jaffa on the other side. Coombs reaches over to the panel to close the door.]

<blockquote>JAFFA 
You! Stop!</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Staying. God.</blockquote>

[Coombs runs to hide behind the control panel.]

'''EXT—KHONSU'S PLANET—STARGATE AREA'''

[The area is guarded by a number of Jaffa.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, he wasn't kidding, that's a lot of Jaffa. Carter, Jonas, your target is that centre gun placement.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, you're with me. 
(pointedly, to Felger) 
Now, is there anything else we need to discuss?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Exactly. On my signal, get Coombs out here.</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
(over radio) 
Jay…uh…I've got a problem here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
(into radio) 
Shhh.</blockquote>

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID—CONTROL ROOM'''

[A large crack appears in the door as the Jaffa ram against it. Coombs is sitting down behind the control panel.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
(into radio) 
I think I need a little help.</blockquote>

'''EXT—KHONSU'S PLANET—STARGATE AREA'''

[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.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Clear?</blockquote>

[Carter and Jonas run towards him.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Clear, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c?</blockquote>

[Teal'c runs in from another direction.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The area is secure for the moment, O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
(yelling) 
Colonel O'Neill. Colonel O'Neill! Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote>

[Felger runs towards them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What are you doing? Get Coombs out here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
There's a slight problem there, sir. He's stuck.</blockquote>

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID—CONTROL ROOM'''

[The crack in the door is now much larger.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
(into radio) 
Jay. I don't think I'm gonna make it out of here. You just go, you take care of my cats, okay?</blockquote>

'''EXT—KHONSU'S PLANET—STARGATE AREA'''

<blockquote>FELGER 
(into radio) 
No, no, no, no, Simon. I got us into this mess. If you're staying, I'm staying too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No one's staying! Can he ring us in?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
(into radio) 
Coombs, can you ring Colonel O'Neill and Teal'c into the pyramid?</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
(over radio) 
I'll try.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c stand inside the ring platform.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Carter) 
Give us five minutes and then…</blockquote>

[They are ringed up.]

'''INT—KHONSU'S PYRAMID—CONTROL ROOM'''

[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.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Let's go home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Oh, thank God!</blockquote>

'''EXT—KHONSU'S PLANET—STARGATE AREA'''

[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.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Simon, are you okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Later!</blockquote>

[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.]

'''EXT—SGC CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN COMPLEX DAY'''

'''EXT—SGC GATEROOM'''

[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.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
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>

[O'Neill removes two medals from their boxes and turns to face Coombs and Felger. He places the medal on Coombs first.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Despite the fact that you gentlemen disobeyed my orders, which, in my little world, constitutes screwing up…twice. The truth is, we wouldn't be here without you. You are true heroes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Thank you, Colonel.</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>COOMBS 
(as the kiss is going on) 
Felger!</blockquote>

'''EXT—SGC LAB'''

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Felger, Jay.</blockquote>

[Coombs pokes Felger in the cheek.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Ow. What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Snap out of it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Yeah, sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Calibration scales for the ring power source?</blockquote>

[Felger hands Coombs a clipboard.]

<blockquote>FELGER 
Right there, right…there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>COOMBS 
Geek.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FELGER 
Nerd.</blockquote>

'''TEASER'''

'''FADE IN'''

<blockquote>VOICEOVER 
Previously on Stargate SG-1.</blockquote>

'''Scenes from "Frozen"'''

<blockquote>FRAISER 
(about O'Neill) 
He's burning up. 
From what I've been able to learn so far, sir, the virus ultimately acts like cerebrospinal meningitis by attacking the brain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
The symbiote, Kanan, is someone I know well. I have no doubt that he would be willing to blend with O'Neill, cure him, and then leave him again if another suitable host can be found.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(to O'Neill) 
Sir, the symbiote's host died while they were on a mission. The Tok'ra have strong reason to believe that the symbiote has vital information to reveal and this would give him that chance. Sir…please…</blockquote>

[O'Neill is in a rescue pod which is being carried by Carter, Thoran, Teal'c, Jonas, and two medics. They carry him through the Stargate.]

'''END FLASHBACKS'''

'''EXT—UNKNOWN PLANET'''

[It is nighttime. Two people, a male and female, are running through wooded area. They are being chased by Jaffa. A Stargate is seen in the distance with light from campfires from around the Gate.]

<blockquote>WOMAN 
It's too far.</blockquote>

[The woman stumbles and falls. The man returns to her and kneels beside her.]

<blockquote>WOMAN 
I can't…</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAN 
(Tok'ra voice) 
Hide here until the Chappa-ai is activated. Go!</blockquote>

[They both get up and move in different directions.The man continues on to the Stargate, splashing through puddles and begins dialing the DHD. A staff blast hits his right shoulder and he falls to the ground, face down. He is struggling to get up, but is unable to do so. Seconds later, a symbiote falls out of his mouth and scurries away. The man continues to try and crawl away, but his hand is stepped on by a Jaffa.]

<blockquote>JAFFA 
Shek'mal, Tok'ra. Kree! Jaffa…Shal Kek.</blockquote>

[Another Jaffa rolls the man over to reveal that it is O'Neill, who appears to be unconscious.]

'''FADE OUT'''

'''END TEASER—OPENING CREDITS'''

'''INT—BA'AL'S FORTRESS—SARCOPHAGUS'''

[The sarcophagus opens to reveal a slowly awakening O'Neill. A shadowed face peers into the sarcophagus as O'Neill peers back.]

<blockquote>VOICE 
(off camera) 
The host lives, my lord.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[As alarm klaxons blare, a monitor indicates that a Tok'ra signal is being received. Hammond descends the stairs from his office into the control room. He walks up to Sergeant Davis, who is manning the computer.]

<blockquote>SGT. DAVIS 
It's the Tok'ra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It's about damn time.</blockquote>

[Hammond exits to the Gate room as Thoran walks through the Stargate.]

'''INT—GATEROOM'''

[Hammond approaches Thoran as he descends the ramp.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(to SFs) 
Stand down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
General Hammond.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Councilor Thoran. I'm afraid my patience on this matter has just about run out. You've been promising the safe return of Colonel O'Neill for days. Where is he?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
I'm afraid I am the bearer of bad news.</blockquote>

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
And he just walked out of your base. Nobody noticed he was gone until it was too late.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
With the attack on Revanna, our numbers have been severely diminished. We had no reason to expect this. I see no reason to assign blame.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Colonel O'Neill did put his life in your hands.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
Receiving a symbiote was his only hope for survival.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He could have refused.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
In which case you would have never been able to retrieve the knowledge in Kanan's mind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
A more than fair exchange.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill would not agree to a blending with a symbiote unless there was more at stake than his life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
Perhaps it was that repugnance of blending with another mind that caused O'Neill to behave so irrationally.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
General, I can't speculate on Colonel O'Neill's state of mind, but while a mature symbiote can take control of the host body whenever it wants to, it doesn't work both ways.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I can vouch for that, sir. There's no way Colonel O'Neill could have walked out on his own.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Then he was forced to do so, against his will, by the symbiote.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
You accuse an honored Tok'ra of behaving as a Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Councilor…</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
(cutting Hammond off angrily) 
Kanan has fought the Goa'uld longer than any of you have lived. Yet you spit the word symbiote as though you spoke of vermin. Whatever you may think of our form, Kanan was as a brother to me. The Tok'ra council accepts that Kanan may be lost to us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That's the big difference between us, Councilor. We don't leave our people behind.</blockquote>

[Carter smiles.]

'''INT—BA'AL'S FORTRESS'''

[O'Neill is led into a room by two Jaffa who walk him onto a platform. O'Neill is sucked forward into a metallic, spider-webbed panel in the wall, with his back to the room. The Jaffa flank the door as Ba'al enters and walks onto the platform. O'Neill is turned so that he is facing into the room. The Jaffa leave.]

<blockquote>BA'AL 
Who are you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You go first.</blockquote>

[Ba'al picks up a large knife from a table on the platform, looks at its blade and takes a seat on a bench on the platform.]

<blockquote>BA'AL 
You claim you do not know me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, take no offense there, Skippy, I'm sure you're a real hot, important Goa'uld, I've just always been kind of out of the loop with the snake thing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
I am Ba'al.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's it? Just Ball? As in Bocce?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
Do you not know the pain you will suffer for this impudence?</blockquote>

[Ba'al walks to the front of the platform and holds up the knife which becomes horizontal—as if magnetised—and aimed at O'Neill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't know the meaning of the word. Seriously. Impudence. What does that mean?</blockquote>

[Ba'al lets go of the knife and it flies into O'Neill's left shoulder. As O'Neill grunts in pain, Ba'al picks up another knife.]

<blockquote>BA'AL 
I shall begin again. Who are you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Colonel Jack O'Neill, U.S. Air Force. Two L's in that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
That may be who you once were, Tok'ra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I may be a lotta things…but I'm no Tok'ra!</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
It is true we were only able to capture the host. Your symbiote fled the body out of cowardice. But it is also true that Tok'ra share body and mind equally. You will know all that it knew.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I think I know less than you…think I know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
(raising another knife to horizontal) 
Why have you come to this outpost?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Now, see, that's a perfect example right there. I haven't a clue.</blockquote>

[Ba'al lets the knife go and it flies into O'Neill's left shoulder. O'Neill yells in pain as Ba'al picks up another knife.]

<blockquote>BA'AL 
You have been here before.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
First time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
You know your way to and from our most secret outpost. Clearly you have been here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
Did you really hope to escape my personal guard?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
Why did you abduct my slave?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(in obvious pain) 
All right…look! This is the last thing I remember, I swear to God. I was sick. I agreed to let the Tok'ra put a snake in my head or I would have died. Right now, I'm kinda wishing I had.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
(smiling) 
A wish easily granted. 
(Looking at the third knife.) 
What is your mission here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No mission.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
Why have you returned?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I've never been here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
What did you want with the female?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(exasperated) 
What female?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
Death will only offer a temporary escape. I can revive you again and again…a thousand times if need be. Only once you have told me everything I ask, will you be allowed to die.</blockquote>

[Ba'al brings the third knife to horizontal position.]

<blockquote>BA'AL 
One…last…time.</blockquote>

[He lets the third knife go and it flies towards O'Neill.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Carter, Teal'c, Jonas and Thoran are studying the starmap.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Where was his last mission?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
As an operative aboard a mothership in Zipacna's fleet. He managed to escape during a battle with Lord Yu's forces, but just barely.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Did he have a motive to return to that vessel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
Such as?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Unfinished business? A task left undone?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
His report stated the mission objectives were complete. We are willing to attempt contact with our operatives on these worlds here, here and here.</blockquote>

[Thoran points to three spots on the starmap.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
His previous missions.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
If Kanan returned to either of these worlds, for whatever reason, our operatives may have learned of it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, when will we hear news?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
It may take many months.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You spoke of Kanan's mission reports.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
What of it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, we'd like to see them. If Jonas' instinct is correct and Kanan had unfinished business, there may be clues.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
Their contents are not relevant.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, Colonel O'Neill's life is at stake. I believe that is relevant.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
What you ask…is not possible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Really?</blockquote>

'''INT—BA'AL'S FORTRESS—SARCOPHAGUS'''

[The sarcophagus opens to reveal a slowly awakening O'Neill.]

'''INT—BA'AL'S FORTRESS'''

[O'Neill is led down a hall by two Jaffa. He is pushed into a room. After one of the Jaffa moves his hand over a device on the outside wall the room changes. O'Neill slips down as the floor suddenly becomes a wall. The doorway has become the ceiling, many feet above. The room contains two in-built benches and four lit panels which are in reach. O'Neill hits the lit panels, but they appear strong and secure. A distant scream is heard. He looks up towards the doorway in the ceiling. A woman is sitting at the opening.]

<blockquote>WOMAN 
Is it you?</blockquote>

[O'Neill simply looks up at the opening, a puzzled look on his face.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hi, Jack.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks beside him to find Daniel, dressed in casual clothes, no glasses, sitting on one of the built-in benches. He gives a little wave.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I leave, and look at the mess you get yourself into.</blockquote>

[O'Neill gives him a quizzical look.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's good to see you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(cautiously) 
Yeah, you too.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks to the bench opposite Daniel and sits.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's a shame you're a delusion.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, I'm here. I'm…really here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(skeptically) 
Sure you are</blockquote>

[O'Neill takes off his shoe and throws it at Daniel, who winces. The shoe passes through him and bounces off the wall back towards O'Neill.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Here in the sense that my consciousness is here, if not here in the full physical flesh and blood sense, which is really…neither…here nor there. The point is, you're not imaging this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I just tossed my shoe through you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes you did. That's because I've ascended to another plane of existence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ohhh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Remember Oma Desala, the whole…glowing thing, you helped me out. I couldn't have done that without you, remember that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm…I'm energy now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How's that workin' out for you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Good, actually…very…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Very good. You…however…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, well…you know what it's like…</blockquote>

[O'Neill gets up and picks up his shoe.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
…comin' back from the dead. Takes a while to get the color back in your cheeks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(sitting down and again and pointing his shoe at Daniel) 
So…not a delusion?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(shaking his head) 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay…show me your stuff. Bust me outta here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I can't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why not?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm not allowed to interfere.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You're interfering right now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, I'm not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, you are.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, I'm not. I am consoling a friend.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What good's the power to make the wind blow or toss lightning around if you can't use it to spring an old friend outta jail?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I would if I could.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You can't do that stuff?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I can. I just…I can't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, thanks for stopping by, then.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ba'al is torturing you and I wasn't just gonna sit by. Look, all he wants to know is the reason you came to this planet. You really don't know?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Do you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, all I know is that you…or more accurately, the symbiote the Tok'ra placed inside of you…congratulations, by the way…walked off undetected in the middle of the night and came here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I can't believe I actually let them put a snake in my head…my head. I agreed to this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It never shared with you why it would walk alone into a heavily fortified Goa'uld outpost?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There was no sharing! I was sick.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They did the implantation, a word I intend never to use again, and I woke up here. That's…my week, so far.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So you really don't know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(sighing, trying to remember) 
Uhh…something to do with one of Ba'al's slaves. I got a visual but I've never met her before.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Nobody knows you're here.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks at him, stunned.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Even if they did, they'd never be able to pull off a rescue because this place is a fortress. Ba'al is just gonna keep on torturing you to death and reviving you in a sarcophagus until…he finds out what he wants, which is impossible because you don't know anything. Or until you're not worth reviving any more. But you'll cease to be the Jack O'Neill we know long before that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well…apparently, I've got a big day tomorrow.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, I'm not gonna let that happen. I won't let him destroy you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You just said you couldn't help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, I can't stop Ba'al from torturing you any more than Oma could heal my radiation sickness, but…I can help you ascend.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Hammond descends the stairs from his office to join SG-1 and Thoran.]

<blockquote>THORAN 
Your underlings will not allow me to leave.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
My officers and enlisted personnel are following my direct orders.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
This Jaffa threatened my life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I merely informed you that any further attempt to activate the Stargate would result in physical injury.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
Then I am a prisoner?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I would prefer that you consider yourself a guest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And you'll be free to leave as soon as you provide us with the mission reports we've requested, under article nine of our treaty.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
Such a request to the council must be made in person.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Why's that? This control facility is quite capable of relaying a request on multiple frequencies, including those used by the Tok'ra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Of course, if you choose not to avail yourself of that capability, we would be pleased to provide you with comfortable quarters until you decide to change your mind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
You threaten the peaceful continuation of relations between our two peoples, General Hammond.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
If our relations continue in the direction they're going, Councilor…I don't give a damn.</blockquote>

[All of SG-1 smile politely at Thoran.]

<blockquote>THORAN 
Very well, I will make your request that the reports be sent here immediately.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Thank you.</blockquote>

[Hammond leaves as Thoran glares at the team.]

'''INT—JACK'S CELL'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So…you wanna be my Oma?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You could put it that way, I mean, I wouldn't, but maybe that's just me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And then what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Then…then I don't know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You don't know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No. No, ascension doesn't make you all-knowing. I mean, I really…don't know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
If I'm catchin' the next plane of existence outta here, you gotta give me somethin'.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's your journey. No one but you can choose what you become or the path you take. All I can promise you is it will be an amazing journey.</blockquote>

[O'Neill mutters in frustration]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Once you release your burden.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, so help me, if you start talkin' like Oma…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm not talking like Oma Desala.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sounds like Oma to me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, no, no…see, Oma Desala would say something like…uh, uh, if you know the candle is fire then the meal was cooked a long time ago or something like that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
To open your mind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Though a candle burns in my house…there's nobody home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay. Let's take this one step at a time. This has to be something you want. I can't do this for you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
One step at a time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
One step at a time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, there's gotta be another way outta here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What if you did a little scoutin' for me? That'd be all right wouldn't it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm not askin' you to knock down walls or anything, just a little recon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ba'al is just gonna torture you again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Or…uh, uh Zat gun…help me get my hands on a Zat gun.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The next time is gonna be worse.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's when we move, the next time they come for me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You can't fight your way out of this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Then help me!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Not that way!</blockquote>

[The sound of a mechanism opening is heard and O'Neill and Daniel look above to the entranceway]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They're coming.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They can see you, right? We can use that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'll be back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
A distraction. That's all I'm askin' for.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I promise.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks up to see the Jaffa at the entrance. When he looks back to where Daniel had been, he is no longer there.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel?</blockquote>

[The Jaffa activate the device on the outer wall and the room changes back to its original orientation, causing O'Neill to slam hard to the new floor. The Jaffa walk in, pick him up off the floor and usher him out of the cell.]

'''INT—SGC LAB'''

<blockquote>JONAS 
His motive had to be personal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
For what reason?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, the Tok'ra claim that all of Kanan's spy missions were a complete success, therefore, he'd have no reason to go back to any of those planets. If we take them at their word, we can rule out any logical reason. No, Kanan had to be motivated by something…profound enough…t o not only risk his life but also the life of his host.</blockquote>

[Carter and Teal'c contemplate Jonas' theory and return to studying their computer monitors.]

'''INT—BA'AL'S FORTRESS'''

[A drop of liquid is squeezed from a spout on a bottle. The drop moves horizontally into O'Neill's chest. O'Neill is once again pinned against the spider web panel and he appears burned in several places on his chest. He is in obvious distress.]

<blockquote>BA'AL 
The Tal'vak acid will take some time to burn through all the way. Though it cauterizes the flesh as it burns, a very small amount often finds its way into the blood and begins to spread. Why have you returned here, Tok'ra?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm human.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
Hmm…betrayed by your symbiote.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It used me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
To do what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't know! And I don't care!</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
What did the symbiote call itself?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(struggling to speak) 
I don't remember.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
Tok'ra retain the identities of both host and symbiote. You are O'Neill. What was the name of your symbiote?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(with more difficulty) 
I…just told you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
What Tok'ra secrets could a single name reveal?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
Why protect the one who betrayed you…abandoned you to…this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(in obvious pain and with anger) 
If I knew the name, I'd give you the damn name! I don't care about protecting the Tok'ra!</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
(stepping forward and pointing the bottle at O'Neill again) 
Tok'ra have been a nuisance for centuries.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(weakly, pleading) 
Don't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
Even when we thought they had been wiped out. They've become all the more…insidious. Like…acid…burrowing holes into our empires.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Kanan! That's the name.</blockquote>

[Ba'al lowers the hand holding the bottle]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Kanan.</blockquote>

[Ba'al smirks at O'Neill and sets the bottle on the table. He picks up another and walks toward the front of the platform.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(weakly) 
I…I just told you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
(smiling) 
Yes, you did.</blockquote>

[Ba'al squirts more liquid from the bottle which again hits O'Neill in the chest. O'Neill flinches, but this liquid does not seem to be causing him any further discomfort.]

<blockquote>BA'AL 
This neutralizes the acid and numbs the pain. So you see, the truth is rewarded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't know anything else. BA'AL 
There may be much more of this Kanan still in your memory than even you know. It'll come to you…in time.</blockquote>

[Ba'al pushes a device on the table where he has placed the bottles. The web panel opens and O'Neill falls into a very long, black tunnel.]

'''INT—JACK'S CELL'''

[O'Neill falls onto the newly reoriented floor, face up, staring at the Jaffa. The Jaffa walk away and O'Neill continues to lie there. Suddenly, he sees the woman sitting at the entrance above his head. O'Neill is rather dazed.]

<blockquote>WOMAN 
Is it you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WOMAN 
You shouldn't have come back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't…remember.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WOMAN 
If I leave with you, he will know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You…</blockquote>

[As O'Neill is lying there, Daniel appears, standing over him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack, who are you talking to?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
The woman.</blockquote>

[As Daniel looks up at the entranceway the woman's image dematerializes.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
There's nobody there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Look who's talking.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Does it still hurt?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Told you I'd come back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
If the Daniel Jackson I knew was really here…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I am.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Then do something.</blockquote>

[Daniel squeezes his eyes shut and drops his head. O'Neill, regaining some energy and cognizance, rolls himself up to stand facing Daniel.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You listen to me. I don't wanna go through that again. If you were really my friend and had the power to stop it, you'd stop it!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The hardest part of being who or what I am is having the power to change the things I want to change and knowing that I can't. Even when I'm certain, even when it's…absolutely clear to me, even when it affects the people I care about.</blockquote>

[O'Neill rolls his eyes and turns away from Daniel to lean against one of the light panels.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Because for all I can do, I'm no more qualified to play God than the Goa'uld are. Ba'al will keep this up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, he will.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So we don't have an unlimited amount of time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Gotta be some place, do ya?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No. Look, there must be a reason that Kanan came back here. Was it for the woman? The one you were just talking to? She must have something to do with all of this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(lacking enthusiasm): 
You know…screw it…it doesn't matter. Carter and Teal'c'll think of somethin'.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Even if they could find out where you are…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(with more enthusiasm and turning toward Daniel) 
And you know…Jonas…he's at least as smart as you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
There isn't always a way out, Jack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, if that was true, I'd have been dead a long time ago!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How many more times do you think you can go into that sarcophagus before it starts changing you?</blockquote>

[O'Neill shrugs.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How many times has it been already? It can regenerate your body, make you strong enough to go through that all over again, but all the time, it's destroying who you are. And once that happens, you won't be able to ascend no matter how much you want to.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey…I appreciate what you're trying to do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I wouldn't be here if I didn't believe you could do it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
This is me we're talkin' about!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, it is. Now, please…just try…to open you're mind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh…stop it, will you?</blockquote>

[O'Neill sits down in frustration.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Come on, Jack. Y…You think the Asgard named uh, a ship after you because they thought it was a cool name? Now's not the time to play dumb, you're a lot smarter than that. They saw our potential in you…because of who you are and what you've done. Humanity's potential. That's the same thing Oma saw in me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I am not you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah, when has that ever stopped you from doing anything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay…put yourself in my shoes and me in yours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You'd be here for me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Damn straight! I'd have busted you out, blown this rat hole to hell and made sure that son-of-a-bitch suffered!</blockquote>

[O'Neill rises, frustrated at Daniel and wanting to get his point across.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The Others would have stopped you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They'd have a hell of a fight on their hands.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You wouldn't do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ba'al would be dead…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
…And don't think I'd stop there!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You're a better man than that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(yelling) 
That's where you're wrong!</blockquote>

[They stop and stare at each other. After several seconds, Daniel nods his head slightly and turns away.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Right now, I can't imagine doing or being anything other than what I am. I see things, I understand things, in a way I never could have before. But I chose this. Even when Jacob was trying to heal me, I chose this. But you in the place you're at right now, you don't have any other choices. This is not your life we're talking about, Jack! This is your soul!</blockquote>

[O'Neill shakes his head slightly.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This is it! What I'm offering you is your only way out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You're wrong about that too. I have another choice</blockquote>

[Daniel closes his eyes and shakes his head.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What are you talking about?</blockquote>

[O'Neill simply looks at Daniel. Daniel shakes his head.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Any minute, they're gonna come. Ba'al is gonna kill me again. You can make it the last time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Don't ask me to do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You can put an end to it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I won't do it.</blockquote>

[They both look up as they hear the mechanism.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'd do it for you, and you know it.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks over and lies with his feet a few inches from the wall so that when it becomes the floor again, he won't fall.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't want to see this cell again, Daniel.</blockquote>

[The Jaffa reorient the room and enter to take a now solitary O'Neill by the arms and usher him out of the cell.]

'''INT—SGC LAB'''

[Jonas and Teal'c are at the monitors, Carter is pacing with a notebook in her hand.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
I don't know about you two, but I'm beginning to get the feeling that there's absolutely nothing here.</blockquote>

[Carter suddenly stops pacing.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wait. Guys. Look at this.</blockquote>

[Carter walks back to her monitor and begins clicking the mouse to bring up something to show the others.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
What is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The mission where Kanan worked undercover as a minor Goa'uld in Ba'al's service. How long ago was that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Several months. Ba'al has kept the existence of the outpost hidden from the other system lords.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
The outpost was a secret test facility for weapons technology and gravity field generators. Over a period of several months he was able to map out the entire facility, catalog it's defenses.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's what Kanan reported to the Tok'ra Council, but something just struck me. He used Ba'al's Lotar, his personal slave, to access much of that information.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah, the Lotar gave him access to Ba'al's chamber when he was away.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Do you believe Kanan withheld information in his report?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No. But think about it. A Lotar is a Goa'uld's most trusted servant.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Why would he so blithely betray his master?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Her master. The slave was a woman.</blockquote>

[Jonas look at her quizzically]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Access to Ba'al's own chamber?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Are you suggesting that Kanan engaged in an affair with this slave in order to gain access to her master's quarters?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, something had to be going on between them, otherwise, why would she take the risk?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
A Tok'ra would go to great lengths to accomplish a mission.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, maybe he was just using her, but who knows, I mean the Tok'ra are a very passionate race.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The Tok'ra accept sacrifice as a function of war. I do not believe this slave was a sufficient motive for Kanan to return.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Sufficient motive for Kanan. The decision to act came after blending with the mind of Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
At which point, he would have been confronted with every thought and belief that makes the Colonel who he is and be forced to judge himself by that same code of honor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Especially what General Hammond referred to as the difference between us and the Tok'ra.</blockquote>

[A look of realization comes over Teal'c and Carter.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We don't leave our people behind.</blockquote>

'''INT—BA'AL'S FORTRESS'''

[O'Neill is again attached to the web. The Lotar's face comes very close to his, and they stare at each other.]

<blockquote>LOTAR 
(formerly referred to as the Woman) 
Is it you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You shouldn't be here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LOTAR 
You look so different. How can you be Kanan?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LOTAR 
If I leave with you, he will know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He used both of us.</blockquote>

[The Lotar vanishes.]

<blockquote>BA'AL 
He did use both of us. How long were you host to this Kanan before he convinced you to come here? Days, or merely hours?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(very wearily) 
I don't remember.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
What did this Kanan share about his previous mission here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nothing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
What did he want with my slave?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
Why did he return?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't know.</blockquote>

[Ba'al rises from his bench to walk to the front of the platform.]

<blockquote>BA'AL 
I believe you. You're a victim of this Tok'ra, just as I am. This Kanan took over his host's body…your body…just as I or any other Goa'uld would have done. He used you to come here. But to what purpose? I believe the answers are there in your mind. Even if you were host for a mere matter of hours, something of him will be left behind. Huh…an unfortunate inheritance for you.</blockquote>

[He has walked to the table and opened a panel to reveal the bottles of acid and the knives. He picks up a knife.]

<blockquote>BA'AL 
Because, I will find them. If I have to…dig…them out.</blockquote>

[O'Neill closes his eyes and braces himself.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You're telling me Kanan was compelled to rescue a slave he encountered months ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
As a direct result of blending with Colonel O'Neill, yes, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
Based on the arrogant notion the Colonel would never have left her behind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, I know from first-hand experience how deeply the emotions can be shared between a Tok'ra symbiote and its host.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
So do I, Major Carter. Still you're theory seems to be based on nothing more than intuition.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I won't argue with that, but it's not without reasoning. I know that's where Colonel O'Neill is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
As do I.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
We're all in agreement.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
It makes no difference. If, indeed, Colonel O'Neill is in Ba'al's hands, then he is far beyond our reach.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We have plans to the outpost.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
Then you know it is a fortress. An army could not hope to penetrate it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Kanan obviously thought it was possible. 
(turns to Hammond) 
Sir, if we went in with a small force, maybe two SG teams…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm sorry, Major, but I agree with the Councilor. I've gone over the intel we have on this outpost. A successful attack of any magnitude is beyond our capabilities.</blockquote>

'''INT—BA'AL'S SARCOPHAGUS'''

[O'Neill is once again in the sarcophagus.]

'''INT—JACK'S CELL'''

[O'Neill is returned to his cell. He sits on the floor in readiness for it to change into a wall. After the room changes orientation, he looks up, wearily, then puts his forhead to the wall before slowly sliding down the wall to sit with his back to the wall, cross-legged.]

'''INT—TEAL'C'S QUARTERS'''

[Teal'c is meditating, surrounded by candles. Suddenly his eyes snap open and he looks stunned.]

'''INT—HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

[Hammond is at his desk.There is a knock on the door.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Come in.</blockquote>

[Teal'c enters slowly.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
General Hammond.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Teal'c. What is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I have been meditating on the possibility of rescuing Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I've just been going over the plans to the outpost again, myself. I just don't see how we'd have any chance of success against a fortress this well defended, no matter how big the force.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Agreed. I believe it would take the power of a Goa'uld mothership to do so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Unfortunately, we don't have one of those.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Perhaps not. But there are many system lords that do.</blockquote>

[Hammond looks at him, pensively.]

'''INT—BA'AL'S FORTRESS'''

[Ba'al is seated while O'Neill is being tortured again.]

<blockquote>BA'AL 
What was its name?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Kanan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
There…you remember his name. What was his mission?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No mission.</blockquote>

[O'Neill is obviously greatly weakened.]

<blockquote>BA'AL 
Was it to steal the slave from me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
Did Kanan believe a slave could know my secrets? There's something else you're hiding from me.</blockquote>

[He points a knife at O'Neill, but remains seated on the bench.]

<blockquote>BA'AL 
I sense it. I feel it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(almost whispering) 
When are you gonna end this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
If you tell me what I wish to know, I will end this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BA'AL 
Your mind is beginning to fail. It's time for the sarcophagus, but as you regain the strength to return here, consider this…hmmph…it will be far worse next time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(very weakly) 
Daniel?</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Hammond joins SG-1 in the control room.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Councilor Thoran is threatening to end diplomatic relations.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What did he say?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Among other things I won't mention, that this is precisely the reason they've been reluctant to share intelligence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
So be it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That's more or less what I said. The Tok'ra need us right now, more than we need them. Do we expect any response from Lord Yu?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, sir. We know he received the plans to Ba'al's outpost and the message that went along with it, but we have no way of knowing if he'll act on it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I believe he will. Ba'al has kept the existence of this outpost from the other system lords.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I still don't understand how destroying the power generators first is going to help the Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It will give O'Neill a fighting chance. Nothing more.</blockquote>

'''INT—JACK'S CELL'''

[O'Neill looks up.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(hopefully) 
Daniel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm here.</blockquote>

[O'Neill sighs and looks straight ahead as Daniel steps to his side.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You were gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I know, I'm sorry, there was something I had to do, but, I'm back now and I promise I'll stay with you 'til this is over.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It'll never be over.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, it will.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel. You have to end this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack, you just have to hang in there a little while longer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No. I can't go back in there. If I go back, I swear to God, I'll give Ba'al what he wants, I'll tell him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That he loved her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Kanan?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He came back for her. He wanted to save her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ba'al doesn't know this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
If he finds out, he'll do to her what he's doing to me. Daniel, if you don't end this…I'll tell him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You won't have to. It's almost over, Jack.</blockquote>

[O'Neill turns to look at him for the first time.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You were right. There's always a way out. Well, at least there's always a chance. Your journey isn't over, Jack, not yet.</blockquote>

[O'Neill shows interest at Daniel's comment.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What'd you do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I didn't do anything, it was, um, Sam and Teal'c, and, uh, Jonas, too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What?</blockquote>

[Daniel smiles gently.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They thought of something.</blockquote>

[O'Neill now seems more lively and jumps to his feet.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What?</blockquote>

[There is the sound of an explosion and the lights flicker in his cell. Daniel stands up from his kneeling position and walks to where O'Neill is standing, looking up.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This is it. All you ever wanted was a fighting chance, Jack, now you have it. If anyone can make it out of here, you can.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VOICE 
(off camera) 
Lord Yu attacks!</blockquote>

[The room starts to change orientation.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel?!</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks down to discover that Daniel is no longer there. He prepares himself for the room to change position as the wall becomes the floor again. Hearing no reponse and seeing the lights flickering around him, he decides to walk out of the cell. As he stands in the opening, a Jaffa approaches. O'Neill ferociously attacks the Jaffa and overpowers him. He grabs the Jaffa's Zat and as he makes his way through the halls finds the Lotar in a cell. She backs away, frightened, when she sees him approach.]

'''INT—LOTAR'S CELL'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(holding out his hand) 
Come with me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LOTAR 
No. He'll stop us.</blockquote>

[O'Neill grabs her hand and they leave the cell]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on.</blockquote>

[They leave the cell, running down the hallway and out of sight.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[O'Neill is lying on a bed in the infirmary, having just woken. As a medical instrument is wheeled away, Carter, Teal'c and Jonas stand at the foot of his bed.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Dr. Fraiser says he'll probably suffer withdrawal symptons from so much time in a sarcophagus, but otherwise she expects a full recovery.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What happened to the woman he went back for?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Her name's Shallan. She decided to stay with the Tok'ra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
So she may continue Kanan's fight in his name.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(weakly) 
Hey. Tryin' to sleep here.</blockquote>

[Carter, Teal'c and Jonas turn to him, smiling gently.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sorry, sir. Glad to see you're okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Listen. Was a good idea you had there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Actually, sir, we all contributed to it. Do you need anything or…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Water.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sure.</blockquote>

[Carter turns to leave and touches Teal'c's arm as she walks past him. Teal'c and Jonas follow her out. As they leave, Daniel is seen standing at O'Neill's bedside.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I always seem to be saying goodbye to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, I noticed that. Why don't you stick around for a while?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I can't, really.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You just did.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Special occasion.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Christmas?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Groundhog Day?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Nooo.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I've got my journey, you've got yours?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Something like that, yeah. Look, I know you don't think so…right now, I mean I know you have your doubts, but uh, because you've been through something that no one should have to go through. I guess what I'm trying to say is…you're gonna be all right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How do you know?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You're just gonna have to trust me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I can do that.</blockquote>

[Daniel smiles gently and nods.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You gonna be okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah, I'm gonna be fine.</blockquote>

[The door opens and Carter walks in with the water. As she walks to the bedside, Daniel is gone.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Here you go, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thanks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Goodnight.</blockquote>

[Carter leaves, and O'Neill turns his head slightly to look upwards. He smiles slightly.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thanks.</blockquote>

'''EXT—ANTARCTIC BASE'''

[A large snow vehicle is being driven towards the domed base.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE'''

[Carter and Dr. Michaels are conversing over a video link.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
It's a blip. A shadow on the ultrasound. Too deep to tell. You know, maybe a…a dead seal. Anyway, we're, uh, we're gonna rule it out and pack up for the season. Another week or two, it'll be dark most of the time, much too cold to work outside. As far as coming back next year, well, you know it's not up to me. The Pentagon reevaluates our presence here every year. Take it up with them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Over the monitor) 
Well, maybe my new conclusions about the DHD will be enough to convince them that we should continue.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CARTER'S LABORATORY'''

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
(over the monitor) 
I'm sure coming from you, it'll hold more weight.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The one found with the Antarctic Gate died shortly after it was brought back to Area 51. It was used a few times and then just ran out of energy. That was the first indication we had that the power sources fueling the Gate technology have a limited life span. We've run a number of tests comparing the power source to other off world DHDs. We think we now have evidence that the Gate we found down there is one of the oldest in the entire system. It could be as much as 50 million years old.</blockquote>

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE'''

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
The Antarctic plate wasn't covered by a glacier back then. It wasn't even at the South Pole.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CARTER'S LABORATORY'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, the Gate didn't necessarily originate there. It could have been moved from another planet at any point in time, but that's what we need to try and determine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
(over the monitor) 
How?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
There has to be something else down there.</blockquote>

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE'''

[Michaels sighs, frustrated.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
I mean we've been here four years running. Since we dug out those two Jaffa we've found nothing. If this latest lead turns out to be…</blockquote>

[A door opens.]

<blockquote>FIRST MAN 
Hey Michaels, the thing in the ice.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SECOND MAN 
It's something.</blockquote>

[Michaels looks at the two men, surprised, as they smile.]

'''FADE OUT'''

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''EXT—ANTARCTIC BASE'''

[SG-1, with Fraiser, have just arrived at the Antarctic Base. Jonas pauses and looks back.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Why's the plane leaving?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Cold's no good for the electronics. It'll be back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
When?</blockquote>

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE'''

[As they get under cover, Michaels and the two men approach them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Let's ask these folks.</blockquote>

[Carter and Michaels shake hands.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hi.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Hi. It's nice to finally meet you, Major.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You too. Dr, Michaels, this is Dr. Fraiser.</blockquote>

[Michaels shakes hands with Fraiser.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Doctor.</blockquote>

[Dr. Michaels introduces her colleagues.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Uh…Doctors Woods and Osbourne.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WOODS 
Doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OSBOURNE 
Major.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WOODS 
Major.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right. That's enough.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OSBOURNE 
Well, welcome to Antarctic, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thanks. Great to be back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OSBOURNE 
Let's go inside.</blockquote>

[They walk from the snow-covered entryway into the body of the building.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
How long is this gonna take?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WOODS 
A few days, maybe more. Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Long range forecast doesn't look good.</blockquote>

[Carter, walking slightly ahead of Jonas and Fraiser, whispers to Michaels.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Bit of a weather freak.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
(quietly) 
He'll love it here.</blockquote>

[They enter the building. Jonas begins to unzip his jacket.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Uh…you might want to leave your coats on. We're keeping the quarantine lab below freezing to maintain the specimen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WOODS 
We thought you'd want to see it right away.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Absolutely.</blockquote>

[Michaels begins a brief tour of the base.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
As you can see, we're quite well equipped. We have a research lab, observation room, and in here, the quarantine lab.</blockquote>

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—QUARANTINE LABORATORY'''

[They enter the quarantine lab where a large block of ice is lying on a table. There is something within the ice.]

<blockquote>WOODS 
After digging up those Jaffa the first year, we expected to find a lot more a lot faster.</blockquote>

[They all stand around the table.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
I named her Ayiana. Means eternal bloom.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Native American Indian?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Mm hmm. My grandfather was one-quarter Cherokee.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
How do you know it's a she?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Ultrasound.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WOODS 
You're guessing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
The form appears to be female, although, I admit, it's hard to tell for sure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Have you, uh, have you made a guess about her age?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Mm…25 to 35?</blockquote>

<blockquote>OSBOURNE 
Give or take several million years.</blockquote>

[Carter looks up from studying the ice block, surprised.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Several million?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WOODS 
That's what the preliminary analysis of the oxygen content in the ice indicates.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah, but didn't humans evolve on this planet somewhere between 8 and 9 hundred thousand years ago?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
That's what we thought.</blockquote>

[Fraiser looks pleasantly surprised.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Oh, this could be big.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
(to Carter) 
As you said, evidence now points to the Stargate found here predating the glacier.</blockquote>

[Carter nods her head in agreement.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The Jaffa found near the Stargate could not have been frozen there that long ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Not even close.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Dr. Jackson theorized that when the Gate from Giza was buried roughly 2000 years ago that the Goa'uld managed to open up the Antarctic Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, that's because a crevasse was formed. It allowed the wormhole to connect and ultimately create a larger opening. The Jaffa were frozen after that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
But she wasn't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Much before that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
So she's neither Jaffa, nor Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Well, whoever this is, she was probably around when the Antarctic Gate was first being used.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OSBOURNE 
We need to take more core samples to determine if she was actually frozen in the same vein.</blockquote>

[Fraiser has walked around the ice block, studying it. Standing next to Michaels, she fingers a hole in the ice.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Did you do a tissue sample?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Mm hmm. I'd like you to have a look.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Listen. Could somebody bottom-line this for me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Well, Sir, we could be looking at evidence that human beings evolved long before we thought they did.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
And maybe not even originally on this planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Darwin would be crushed.</blockquote>

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—OFFICE'''

[O'Neill and Teal'c walk into a room containing a screen showing the observation lab, and an area for clothing. O'Neill throws up his hands in frustration.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Doh!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What is it O'Neill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I forgot to tape The Simpsons.</blockquote>

[Teal'c does not react, but simply looks at O'Neill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's important to me.</blockquote>

[Teal'c turns away, eyebrow raised.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—RESEARCH LABORATORY'''

[Dr. Fraiser is looking into a high-powered microscope. Michaels is sitting next to her.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
This is incredible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
I know. No adipocere.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What's that?</blockquote>

[Jonas is sitting behind them. Another screen shows the ice block in the observation lab.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It's a residue that forms on dead animal tissue when exposed to moisture.</blockquote>

[Fraiser rolls her chair away from the table to face Jonas and Michaels.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
But that's not the most amazing part. These tissue cells are intact.</blockquote>

[Fraiser looks amazed.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
That's what I was hoping you'd say. I thought maybe I was losing my mind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I'm sorry…uh, what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
When you freeze live cells, crystals form and ultimately destroy the integrity of the cell. That's why we haven't been able to develop a viable method of human cryogenic preservation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
So…</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
So…these cells are perfect. They could be from you or me.</blockquote>

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—QUARANTINE LABORATORY'''

[Fraiser and Michaels are wearing surgical masks and latex gloves. They manoeuvre an overhanging heat lamp over the block of ice as the others watch in the adjoining observation room. The ice begins to slowly melt. Time goes by as water slowly drips from the block. A monitor in the observation room shows the temperature slowly increase to fifty degrees.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
(speaking into a headset microphone—documenting the procedure) 
Right hand, right arm and partial head exposed. The clothing appears tailored. Material unknown.</blockquote>

[Fraiser is also speaking into a head-mike.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Peeling back what appears to be the right sleeve covering the face.</blockquote>

[Fraiser slowly removes the cloth with large tweezers, revealing a perfectly preserved female face, still partially frozen into the ice.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
(to Michaels) 
You got it?</blockquote>

[Michaels folds the cloth away from the face.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Okay.</blockquote>

[Fraiser looks at the woman, amazed.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
She is remarkably preserved.</blockquote>

[Fraiser shines her penlight into one of Ayiana's eyes. The pupil reacts to the light. Fraiser, stunned, flicks off the light and looks at Michaels. Both look shocked. Fraiser again shines the penlight into the eye and again the pupil reacts. She turns to the observation room window.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I got a cortical response. Sam, I need your help!</blockquote>

[Michaels wheels a machine towards the table.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Let's go.</blockquote>

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—OBSERVATION ROOM'''

<blockquote>JONAS 
(to Carter) 
What's goin' on?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Electroencephalogram. It measures brain-wave activity.</blockquote>

[Carter puts on a mask and leaves the observation room.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—QUARANTINE LABORATORY'''

[Ayiana is being prepared for the EEG, with leads being placed on her head.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
All right, go, Sam.</blockquote>

[Carter switches on the equipment, and immediately one of the lines on the monitor shows wave activity.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Delta waves.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
That's impossible!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We've seen stranger.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
We've gotta get her out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(to O'Neill in the observation room) 
Sir, crank up the heat!</blockquote>

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—OBSERVATION ROOM'''

[O'Neill turns to a panel at his right and rotates the controls.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—QUARANTINE LABORATORY'''

[The heat lamps switch on to a high setting. A monitor shows the temperature increasing to 79 degrees. The ice around Ayiana has mostly melted.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
On three. When you're ready, Jonas.</blockquote>

[Hands move to Ayiana's shoulder and arm, ready to lift her.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Okay. One, two, three.</blockquote>

[Jonas and Carter lift Ayiana's upper body, Michaels her legs. They move her onto a gurney.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Easy.</blockquote>

[Carter moves the heat lamp to over Ayiana's body.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay.</blockquote>

[Michaels checks Ayiana's temperature with an ear thermometer.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Temperature is 73 degrees.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Good.</blockquote>

[Fraiser is cutting away Ayiana's clothing.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
No sign of frostbite. I assume you don't have bypass?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Okay, let's try, uh, warm saline, one milligram epi, and do a blood gas.</blockquote>

[Michaels nods in agreement and moves away from the gurney, as do Fraiser, Carter and Jonas. O'Neill looks on from the observation room.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
You know the medics have a saying down here. You're not dead until you're warm and dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It's because anything below 82 degrees and life signs are often undetectable.</blockquote>

[They are preparing to give Aiyana an EKG.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Okay, we've got disorganized electrical activity.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I'm intubating. Tilt her head, Sam.</blockquote>

[A monitor in the observation room shows Fraiser inserting the respiration tube guide into Ayiana's throat.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I'm in…give me the tube. That's it…okay.</blockquote>

[As the bag is massaged, the medical monitor bleeps and shows a heartbeat.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
There's a heartbeat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Hey, uh, she's bleeding.</blockquote>

[The blanket around Ayiana's arm is drawn away to show a small, bleeding wound.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Sam, you take over bagging?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Got it.</blockquote>

[Fraiser bandages the wound.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
PH is 6.9. She's acidotic, but her PO2 is 98.</blockquote>

[Carter looks up at the heart monitor.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Ten beats per minute.</blockquote>

[As Fraiser looks across to the heart monitor, the regular beeping turns continuous and Ayiana's heartbeat flatlines. Suddenly the monitor flat-lines.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
She's in V-fib</blockquote>

[Fraiser sets up the defibrillator as Michaels walks over to the monitor.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Charging to 200.</blockquote>

[Fraiser grabs the paddles and prepares to "shock" Aiyana.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
And clear…</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Wait!</blockquote>

[The continuous beeping has been replaced by regular beeps. Fraiser turns to see a heartbeat on the monitor.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Sinus bradycardia.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
30 beats per minute. BP 60 over 40 and rising. I can't believe this is happening.</blockquote>

[Suddenly Aiyana blinks her eyes. Carter looks at her, amazed.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
She's conscious.</blockquote>

[Fraiser looks at Carter, shocked, while O'Neill looks on from the observation room.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—QUARANTINE LABORATORY'''

[The scene is from Ayiana's perspective. Fraiser and Carter, looking down at her, are indistinct. Ayiana's breathing is loud.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
She's breathing on her own.</blockquote>

[As an oxygen mask is removed, Michaels and Jonas appear over her.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
I think we're scaring her.</blockquote>

[Ayiana looks around, obviously frightened. There are EEG leads still attached to her head, and a tube down her throat.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
It's okay. Hey, it's okay. It's okay. Shhh. Can we take the tube out?</blockquote>

[Aiyana flinches away as Jonas lays his hands on the gurney.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Yeah. It's okay. Sam, give me a hand.</blockquote>

[Aiyana is gasping, obviously scared. Fraiser moves to the head of the gurney to remove the tube from Ayiana's throat.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Easy…easy…hang on.</blockquote>

[Michaels attempts to comfort Aiyana by rubbing her legs as Fraiser removes the tube. O'Neill, Teal'c,Osbourne and Woods look on from the observation room.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Take it easy. It's okay. It's okay.</blockquote>

[Fraiser removes the tube, causing Aiyana to cough several times, then take deep breaths.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It's okay. There you go.</blockquote>

[Suddenly, Ayiana begins convulsing.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Oh, ho, whoa! Michaels, 2.5 milligrams Valium.</blockquote>

[Michaels moves to inject the drug in the IV line, while Carter, Fraiser and Jonas hold down Aiyana.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Easy, nobody's gonna hurt you. It's okay. Okay. Here we go.</blockquote>

[Aiyana clams as the drug takes affect.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Here we go. Yeah.</blockquote>

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—RESEARCH LABORATORY'''

<blockquote>FRAISER 
We didn't do anything, Sir. She revived herself. It was as if the thawing process just triggered an internal response telling her body to come back to life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
But not a snakehead, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
No, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right. Then what are we dealin' with here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Something not humanly possible. Not as far as I know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Then she may indeed be not of this world.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
As far as we knew up until now, all human life in the galaxy was transplanted to other planets from Earth by the Goa'uld. Now, the odds of a totally alien life form evolving to look exactly like us are…are astronomical.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Actually, if she's as old as we think she is, wouldn't it be us evolving to look like her?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
True.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WOODS 
We really need to check out the site again. At least get another core sample to prove the age of the ice.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You guys need some help?</blockquote>

<blockquote>OSBOURNE 
We can handle it.</blockquote>

[Michaels enters from the Quarantine Lab.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Uh…she's awake again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Think I'll try talking to her.</blockquote>

[O'Neill nods in agreement.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—QUARANTINE LABORATORY'''

[Ayiana is lying on the gurney, looking drowsy and dressed in green medical scrubs. Her arms are restrained at her sides. Jonas and Michaels enter, both wearing surgical masks.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Hey.</blockquote>

[Aiyana appears scared, moving away slightly on the gurney. Jonas lowers his mask a little, looks at Michaels and then removes the mask completely.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
It's…uh…Jonas.</blockquote>

[Jonas smiles at her. Michaels also removes her mask.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Francine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(to Michaels) 
We don't need these restraints anymore, do we?</blockquote>

[Jonas removes the restraint on her left wrist as Michaels moves around the other side of the gurney.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
It's all right, it's all right. It's better, huh?</blockquote>

[Michaels removes the restraint from her right wrist.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
(to Michaels) 
Want to sit her up?</blockquote>

[Jonas and Michaels support Ayiana's back as they help her into a sitting position.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Can you speak? You speak?</blockquote>

[Jonas also gestures with his hands, indicating a movement from the throat.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Uh, maybe she just doesn't understand us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I'd be very surprised if she did, but that doesn't mean we can't communicate, right?</blockquote>

[Jonas points to himself.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
I'm Jonas.</blockquote>

[Ayiana looks puzzled.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Jonas. It's my name.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AYIANA 
Jo…Jo—nas.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
I guess she can speak.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Jonas, though, Jonas is my name. It's my name.</blockquote>

[Jonas points to Michaels.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Francine is her name. Do you have a name? Hmm?</blockquote>

[Ayiana raises her right sleeve to look at the bandage on her bicep.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
That bothering you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Oh, that's my fault. I'm sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AYIANA 
S…Sor-ry?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah, sorry. It's what you say to somebody when you, uh, cause them pain or sadness or you've done something you feel bad about.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
We didn't know. Let me have a look? It's okay.</blockquote>

[Michaels raises the sleeve and removes the bandage. There is no longer a wound on the arm.]

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
That's amazing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AYIANA 
Am-a-zing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Yes, you are.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AYIANA 
(to Jonas) 
Am-a-zing.</blockquote>

[Jonas smiles and nods in agreement.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—RESEARCH LABORATORY'''

[Carter is sitting at a monitor.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
The weather system Jonas was worried about is blowing in more quickly than first predicted.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(into radio) 
Woods, Osbourne, this is O'Neill. Come in.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WOODS 
(over radio) 
Yeah, Colonel, I read you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(into radio) 
That storm is headed our way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WOODS 
(over radio) 
Roger that. We're almost done here. It'll be dark soon anyway.</blockquote>

[Michaels and Jonas enter the lab.]

<blockquote>WOODS 
(over radio) 
Just…be back in a couple of hours. Woods out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, we didn't really learn anything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nothing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
No, no, not even her name. There's obviously a communication barrier. She can speak, but, uh…</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
There's really no telling what the effects of being frozen that long are. Even with her ability to…uh…preserve or heal herself physically, parts of her mind could have been damaged beyond repair.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
The wound on her arm is completely gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
I mean, if we can figure out how she's able to regenerate…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Could she not be deliberately hiding something?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What reason would she have to hide anything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Fear.</blockquote>

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—QUARANTINE LABORATORY'''

[Ayiana is sitting up on the gurney, with Michaels standing next to her. Jonas enters, carrying a tray.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
I thought you might be hungry. I brought you some…uh…food.</blockquote>

[Ayiana looks puzzled.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
You eat it.</blockquote>

[Jonas picks up some food from the tray and eats it.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
It's not very good, but, uh…try it.</blockquote>

[Aiyana takes the tray from Jonas and eats some of the food. She shakes her head and grimaces. She selects a small amount of different food from the tray.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
That's not much…</blockquote>

[Ayiana starts to greedily eat the food.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
…better. I guess if you've been frozen for that many years…</blockquote>

[Ayiana stares at him as she continues eating. Michaels removes her jacket, obviously warm.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
You all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Yeah, yeah. I just think we have the heat turned up a little high in here now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(to Aiyana) 
Hey, I want to show you something…uh…here, look, look.</blockquote>

[Jonas shows Ayiana a notebook, opened to a page with a drawing of a Stargate. He points to the drawing.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Have you ever seen this? Yes? No?</blockquote>

[Ayiana slows her eating and looks at the drawing.]

<blockquote>AYIANA 
Amazing.</blockquote>

[Jonas appears a little frustrated.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
We're going to try something else.</blockquote>

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—OBSERVATION ROOM'''

[Carter enters and joins Fraiser at a terminal.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Look at this.</blockquote>

[The monitor shows different brain wave patterns.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What are they?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
EEGs I took of Cassandra when she was suffering the effects of Niirti's genetic experiment.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Cassie started developing telekinetic abilities.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Mm hm. These are the ones I took of Colonel O'Neill when he had the knowledge of the Ancient repository downloaded into his brain. Now, I've been comparing them…to Ayiana's…</blockquote>

[Fraiser brings up another brain wave pattern on the screen.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Connection?</blockquote>

[Fraiser nods.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, Niirti was trying to create genetically enhanced human beings. And the Ancient device was rewriting Colonel O'Neills memory until the Asgard put a stop to it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It was doing more than that. It was activating dormant areas of his brain. Sam, look, what if there's more than just a coincidental similarity in these patterns?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So you're saying this woman is…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I'm saying that she's another example of an advanced stage in the potential human evolutionary process.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Leading to what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Antarctic cod can live in water so cold, other fish would develop ice crystals in their blood. Now, they've had 40 million years or so to adapt to the change of temperature in the water and they've developed this protein that acts like anti-freeze.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They're fish.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Given enough time, evolution can do some pretty amazing things. Look, we know that humans can become much more powerful beings. We've seen it happen with Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh huh, with the help of other powerful beings.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Yes. We think this woman might predate human evolution on Earth by 50 million years.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, but that would put her behind us on the evolutionary timeline, not way ahead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Unless…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Unless…our evolution isn't the first time it's happened. That's not big, Janet, that's huge!</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Okay, look, it's just a theory and we certainly don't have any hard evidence, yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, yeah, but if you're right! This woman could be part of the race that first invented the Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
One stage of their development, anyway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
A living Ancient.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
And we look just like her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That could mean that…that our evolution wasn't just some biological accident.</blockquote>

[The monitor behind Fraiser is showing the quarantine lab. Michaels has just collapsed to the floor. Jonas yells up into the camera, drawing Carter and Fraiser's attention.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Dr. Fraiser!</blockquote>

[Carter and Fraiser leave the lab and can be seen over the monitor entering the quarantine lab. Ayiana is standing to the side, obviously frightened.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—MAKESHIFT INFIRMARY'''

[Fraiser is tending to Michaels, who is lying on one of the beds. Fraiser is wearing a surgical mask which she removes as she walks away from the bed.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—RESEARCH LABORATORY'''

[Fraiser enters from the infirmary which is immediately next door. O'Neill and Carter are sitting at a small table.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Michaels fainted. She's running a high fever. I need to do more tests.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Aiyana?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
She's fine.</blockquote>

[Teal'c is sitting at a monitor.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I know what you're thinking.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It's possible she may be carrying a contagion of some kind.</blockquote>

[O'Neill grimaces at Carter.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Would she not also be ill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
There are a number of examples of diseases that have no effect on the carrier, but can still infect others. It may be that her healing abilities are fighting off the infection in her own system without eradicating it completely.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Should…Jonas still be in there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
He wants to be. Chances are, he's already been exposed, it's possible we all have. If this did come from her, we need to know as much as she can tell us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The C-130 is scheduled to pick us up tomorrow.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Better call it off.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah, they couldn't have flown in this weather anyway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Until I know a lot more about what's going on here, we're quarantined.</blockquote>

'''EXT—ANTARCTIC BASE'''

[A storm is raging outside the station.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—RESEARCH LABORATORY'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(into radio) 
Woods, Osbourne, this is O'Neill. Come in.</blockquote>

[Only static is heard over the radio.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—MAKESHIFT INFIRMARY'''

[Michaels is lying on the bed, perspiring and breathing laboriously. Fraiser is wiping her face. O'Neill can be heard on the radio in the next room.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(into radio) 
Osbourne, Woods. This is O'Neill. Come in.</blockquote>

[Only more static is heard. Carter enters the infirmary.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
How is she?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Not good. Fever won't come down, she's not responding to antibiotics. Whatever this is, it's fast.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Woods and Osbourne still aren't back and they're not responding on the radio.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
If they developed the same symptoms as Michaels, they could be weak, disoriented or even passed out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You definitely think this came from Aiyana?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Well, Michaels seems to have been affected first and she was the one working with the tissue sample.</blockquote>

[Carter sits on one of the beds in the room.]

'''EXT—ANTARCTIC BASE—ENTRANCEWAY'''

[The doorway opens and Osbourne enters, carrying a case. He stumbles to the ground just inside the doorway.]

<blockquote>OSBOURNE 
Help!</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c come running from the complex , followed by Carter and Fraiser. O'Neill kneels down beside Osbourne. Osbourne waves at the case he was carrying.]

<blockquote>OSBOURNE 
The core samples.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where's Woods?</blockquote>

[Osbourne is obviously freezing cold and has difficulty breathing. They start removing his headgear.]

<blockquote>OSBOURNE 
Got separated…hoping he made his way back here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What about the snow cat?</blockquote>

<blockquote>OSBOURNE 
Got stuck in a drift.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's minus thirty. He won't last for long out there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
He's running a high temperature. Help me get him back to the barracks.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c help Osbourne to his feet and take him through to the infirmary.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—MAKESHIFT INFIRMARY'''

[They lay him on a bed not far from Michaels.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Sam, I'm gonna need your help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hopefully, Woods activated his EPIRB.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c leave as Carter and Fraiser begin removing Osbourne's outer clothing.]

'''EXT—ANTARCTIC BASE—ENTRANCEWAY'''

[O'Neill and Teal'c are clothed in warm gear. They each mount a snow mobile. Carter and Jonas watch them leave.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Stay in radio contact.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(into helmet radio) 
Roger that.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c drive out. Carter walks over to where Osbourne collapsed and picks up his hat and the case he had been carrying. She and Jonas run back into the complex.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—QUARANTINE LABORATORY'''

[Ayiana is looking out of the window as the outer door to the complex closes. Jonas enters the lab. Ayiana looks at him then looks back out of the window.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Oh. Dr. Woods is lost. Colonel O'Neill and Teal'c went out there to find him. Hope they do. Dr. Michaels and Dr. Osbourne are both…sick. Dr. Fraiser thinks that we may have been, uh, infected by some disease that you're carrying.</blockquote>

[Ayiana moves her head slightly, as though understanding Jonas.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Eventually, we're all gonna be very sick. But…you have no idea what I'm talking about, so…</blockquote>

[Aiyana moves towards Jonas, a questioning look on her face. She gestures to herself as though questioning her actions.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Do you? You can understand me?</blockquote>

[Aiyana nods her head in the affirmative.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
You're a quicker study than I am. So, is there anything at all that you can tell me about this disease you're carrying? Why you're not sick? You don't know? Y-You don't remember anything?</blockquote>

[Ayiana shakes her head.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Do you know how you're able to heal yourself?</blockquote>

[Ayiana shakes her head again. Jonas sighs in frustration.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—RESEARCH LABORATORY'''

[Fraiser enters from the infirmary.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I'm going to boost the dose of antibiotic, but so far I haven't seen any sign of bacterial growth in the culture.</blockquote>

[Fraiser walks to Carter, who is sitting at a monitor.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
If this is a virus, there is nothing else I can do here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How much time do they have?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Days, hours. I don't know. Michaels' kidneys have started to shut down and that's a bad sign.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The ice core sample that Osbourne brought back places Ayiana in the same vein as the Stargate. She's at least three million years old. But if she comes from a race that actually predates the glacier and your theory is correct, she could be a lot older.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(over radio) 
Carter, come in.</blockquote>

[Carter moves to the two-way radio.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(into radio) 
Colonel, this is Carter.</blockquote>

'''EXT—SNOW-DRIVEN LANDSCAPE'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(into helmet radio) 
We've found the abandoned 'cat. We'll continue the search on foot. Visibility is near zero and I keep losing a satellite lock on the tracker.</blockquote>

[Teal'c is nearby, pointing a bright flashlight into the snow.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(over radio) 
The cold must be affecting the active antenna on your SatNav.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(into helmet radio) 
We'll keep looking. O'Neill out.</blockquote>

[The wind is howling and the snow is swirling all around them. Teal'c has to shout loudly.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Dr. Woods! Dr. Woods! Dr. Woods!</blockquote>

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—RESEARCH LABORATORY'''

[Fraiser taps on the window of the quarantine lab and gestures at Jonas to join her.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—QUARANTINE LABORATORY'''

[Jonas is sitting on a gurney with Ayiana looking at a notebook. He moves from the gurney into the research lab.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—RESEARCH LABORATORY'''

<blockquote>JONAS 
It's unbelievable.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
She understands everything I'm saying. Everything. I told her exactly what's been happening and she seems to…to know that she…she's responsible for it somehow, you know? Like it's her fault.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
She told you that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Not in so many words, no.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Well, what about something that could help us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Not yet, but, uh, it doesn't mean that her memory won't come back. It's logical that the…the mind would take longer than the body to heal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
The problem is, Jonas, we don't know how much time we have.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Right.</blockquote>

[Jonas sighs.]

'''EXT—SNOW-DRIVEN LANDSCAPE'''

[Teal'c and O'Neill are searching.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
O'Neill!</blockquote>

[Teal'c gestures to the ground. He and O'Neill walk over to find Woods, collapsed in the snow.]

'''EXT—ANTARCTIC BASE—ENTRANCEWAY'''

[O'Neill and Teal'c enter the complex on the snow cats with Woods being towed behind on a stretcher. Fraiser and Jonas are waiting for them at the entranceway and move towards Woods.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Let's get him into the lab. On three. One, two, three.</blockquote>

[O'Neill, Fraiser and Jonas lift Woods from the towing unit.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—QUARANTINE LABORATORY'''

[They place Woods on a gurney in the lab.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
He's in hypothermic shock. We need to get his clothes off.</blockquote>

[Aiyana stands watching as Fraiser and the others begin Woods' clothing.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
We need to get him wrapped in warm blankets.</blockquote>

[Teal'c places a blanket over Woods as O'Neill removes his own head gear. Jonas removes Woods' boots.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Sam, I need you to hook him up onto the monitor.</blockquote>

[Fraiser cuts through Woods' clothing as Ayiana moves around to watch. Jonas pulls off a sock to reveal severe frostbite on Woods' foot. He shakes his head.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
This can't be good.</blockquote>

[Carter turns back to see what Jonas is talking about.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh, my God.</blockquote>

[Carter places EKG leads on Woods' chest as Fraiser begins to bag him. Jonas removes the sock from the other foot, which is in the same frostbitten state. The heart monitor flatlines.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
He's in V-fib. You get the paddles, I'll get the gel.</blockquote>

[Both Jonas and Ayiana are looking on, concerned.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Charge to 200.</blockquote>

[Carter sets the charge and prepares the paddles, then hands them to Fraiser.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Okay. Everybody clear!</blockquote>

[As Fraiser prepares to shock Woods, Ayiana steps up to the gurney.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Ayiana) 
Whoa, whoa, Hey!</blockquote>

[Ayiana places her left hand on Woods' head.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
No, no, no. Wait. Wait.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Jonas!</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Let's see. Let's see what she does.</blockquote>

[Aiyana places her right hand on Woods' stomach. Jonas walks around towards Ayiana who is grimacing and breathing heavily. Suddenly, woods takes a deep, gulping breath. Jonas stands next to Ayiana as Fraiser and Carter look on, amazed. Carter looks to Woods' feet, which seem to glow as the signs of frostbite disappear. Fraiser returns the paddles to their stand as O'Neill and Teal'c look on, stunned. Woods takes another deep breath, then Ayiana gasps and collapses. Jonas catches her. Fraiser looks at the heart monitor which is now showing a normal heartbeat.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
His vital signs are back to normal.</blockquote>

[Fraiser checks Woods' pulse as he opens his eyes. She looks across at Jonas who is supporting Ayiana. Jonas nods, shocked. Carter again checks Woods' feet, then looks across at O'Neill in disbelief.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—QUARANTINE LABORATORY'''

[Jonas enters the lab. Ayiana sits up on the gurney where she has been resting.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
You okay?</blockquote>

[Aiyana nods her head in the affirmative.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Do you know what you did?</blockquote>

[Ayiana briefly nods her head.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Do you know how you did it?</blockquote>

[Ayiana shakes her head.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Can you do it again?</blockquote>

[Ayiana frowns.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Dr. Michaels and Dr. Osbourne are both…they're in very bad shape. And if you can't help them…</blockquote>

[Jonas shakes his head as Ayiana nods hers in the affirmative.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—MAKESHIFT INFIRMARY'''

[Fraiser is sitting on the edge of Michaels' bed, checking her pulse. Jonas and Ayiana enter the room and Ayiana kneels down next to the bed. She places her hands on Michaels in the same way as she did with Woods.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—RESEARCH LABORATORY'''

[O'Neill, Teal'c, Carter and Woods are in the lab as Fraiser, Osbourne, Michaels and Jonas enter.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Guess it worked.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So this is good, right? When she wakes up, she can zap us all?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Not necessarily. Healing them really exhausted her.</blockquote>

[Fraiser walks away. Carter follows. Fraiser sits at a monitor and is joined by Carter.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What is it, Janet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It's a blood sample from Ayiana. I'll know more in a little while.</blockquote>

[Carter sits in a chair behind Fraiser. Fraiser turns to look at her.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Hey, are you okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah. What do you think the problem is?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Whatever or however she is able to do what she does, it weakens her. More each time. I mean, she's still carrying that virus herself, Sam. I'm afraid there's going to be a point where she puts herself at risk.</blockquote>

[Carter rises and pats Fraiser on the arm.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Good luck.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Yeah.</blockquote>

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—RESEARCH LABORATORY'''

[Fraiser enters the lab.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Okay. I can't say for sure, but her white cell count is down significantly.</blockquote>

[Teal'c is standing against a wall as Jonas lounges in a chair, reading. O'Neill is lying on a couch. Carter and Michaels are sitting at a monitor.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
White blood cells are a major part of our immune system and…she's still basically human.</blockquote>

[O'Neill is massaging his forehead.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What does that mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It means that you, me, Sam and Jonas are all going to get a lot worse over the next day or so and…I don't know what will happen if we let her try to heal all of us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
She could die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
She could save some of us or all of us, who knows.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
You know, maybe she just needs some time to get her strength back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Well, for the moment, none of us are in dire need, so I suggest we get some rest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I will stand watch.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
No. Teal'c, if you don't Kel-No-Reem your immune system will be vulnerable too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WOODS 
We'll watch her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OSBOURNE 
Yeah, it's the least we can do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Yeah, I'll run some tests on the three of us, looking for antibody markers. I mean, hopefully, whatever she did to us means we're now immune to re-infection.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Okay. And the rest of us will get some sleep. That's an order.</blockquote>

[Teal'c nods his head.]

'''EXT—ANTARCTIC BASE'''

[The storm is still raging.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—MAKESHIFT INFIRMARY'''

[Ayiana is lying on one of the beds. Woods is sitting next to her but appears to be dozing. Suddenly, she wakes and sits up.Woods also wakes.]

<blockquote>WOODS 
Hi. Thank you. You saved my life. I have to admit I feel a little guilty, being okay while Colonel O'Neill and the rest of them keep getting sicker.</blockquote>

[Ayiana raises her hands and looks at them. She gently touches one hand with the other, then rises to stand in front of Woods .]

<blockquote>WOODS 
If we could just figure out how…</blockquote>

[Ayiana caresses Woods' face and he loses consciousness. She leaves the infirmary.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—SLEEPING QUARTERS'''

[Carter and Fraiser are asleep, Carter on the top bunk, Fraiser on the bottom. Ayiana enters and kneels next to Fraiser. She places her hands on Fraiser in the same way as with woods and Michaels.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—RESEARCH LABORATORY'''

<blockquote>OSBOURNE 
The storm is passing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Good. Maybe now we'll be able to get a disease control team in here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OSBOURNE 
I'm gonna relieve Woods.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MICHAELS 
Okay.</blockquote>

[Osbourne leaves. He passes Teal'c who is sitting in a chair, Kel-No-Reeming. He is surrounded by lit candles.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—MAKESHIFT INFIRMARY'''

[Osbourne enters, finding Woods unconscious and no sign of Ayiana.]

<blockquote>OSBOURNE 
Norm, wake up…Norm…</blockquote>

[Unable to rouse Woods, he leaves.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—SLEEPING QUARTERS'''

[Osbourne enters the room and switches on the lights. Carter and Fraiser are awake and getting dressed.]

<blockquote>OSBOURNE 
She's missing. Woods is unconscious.</blockquote>

[All three hurry out of the room.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—STORAGE AREA'''

[Osbourne, Fraiser and Carter enter. Osbourne points to a door.]

<blockquote>OSBOURNE 
Check there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[As Osbourne goes to another door, Fraiser and Carter enter a room, followed by Osbourne.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—ROOM'''

[Jonas is bending over an unconscious Ayiana who is lying on the floor. Carter checks Ayiana's pulse as Fraiser goes to O'Neill who is lying, unconscious, on a cot.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
(to O'Neill) 
It's okay. It's okay.</blockquote>

[Fraiser checks O'Neill's pulse and places her hand on his forehead.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
He's burning up.</blockquote>

'''EXT—ANTARCTIC BASE—ENTRANCEWAY'''

[A number of people enter wearing biohazard suits and carrying equipment.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—QUARANTINE LABORATORY'''

[O'Neill is lying in an enclosed rescue stretcher. He has an oxygen mask over his mouth.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
You're going to be fine, Sir. I'll see you soon.</blockquote>

[Fraiser is wearing a biohazard suit as she closes the lid on the containment stretcher. As O'Neill's stretcher is wheeled out, Ayiana appears, also lying in a containment stretcher. She too is wheeled out.]

'''INT—ANTARCTIC BASE—RESEARCH LABORATORY'''

[Everyone in the complex is wearing a biohazard suit except for Teal'c, who is holding his.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Teal'c, even though you don't have the disease, you could still carry the virus. We'll all get properly cleared once we get back to the SGC.</blockquote>

[Teal'c nods at Carter.]

'''INT—SGC—INFIRMARY QUARANTINE OBSERVATION ROOM'''

[Carter is sitting in the room. Hammond enters.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
(over speakers) 
Blood pressure's holding 80 over 40. I wanna do a manual and uh, get me the results of his latest bloodwork.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How's he doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They're doing everything they can, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We talked to the Tok'ra. They said this might be beyond their help, but they're sending someone anyway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
His best chance is Ayiana, Sir. She managed to halt the virus completely in the rest of us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Why hasn't she been able to stop it in herself?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
(over speakers) 
From what I've been able to learn so far, Sir, the virus ultimately acts like cerebrospinal meningitis by attacking the brain. Despite the physical similarities, Ayiana's brain chemistry seems to be quite different from ours. I suppose it's possible she's able to trigger an immune response in us that she can't muster in herself once the disease reaches an end stage.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What are the odds she'll survive?</blockquote>

[Fraiser shakes her head slightly, negatively. Carter and Hammond look at each other. Carter sighs. All three turn to look at O'Neill who is lying on a bed.]

'''INT—SGC—INFIRMARY QUARANTINE'''

[Ayiana is lying on a bed. A heart monitor beeps in the background. Jonas, wearing a biohazard suit walks up to her bedside. She is wearing a nasal canula. As Jonas approaches, she slowly opens her eyes.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Hey. Glad to see you're awake. I had a feeling that you were gonna make it. Thanks for what you did for me. You didn't have to do that. Not for any of us.</blockquote>

[Ayiana frowns and grimaces in pain.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Hey, take it easy, huh? Gotta get your strength back. Colonel O'Neill still needs your help. More than that, we want you to live. I want you to live.</blockquote>

[Ayiana weakly shakes her head.]

<blockquote>AYIANA 
Sor-ry.</blockquote>

[As Ayiana loses consciousness, the regular beeping turns continuous and Ayiana's heartbeat flatlines.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Ayiana!</blockquote>

[Personnel dressed in biohazard suits rush into the room. Jonas is pushed aside as they begin working on Ayiana. Fraiser enters.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
She just, uh…</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Bag her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
She just…</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Give me one milligram epi.</blockquote>

[Fraiser sets up the defibrillator as Jonas stands behind her.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Charging to 200.</blockquote>

[Fraiser grabs the paddles and prepares to "shock" Aiyana.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Clear! Nothing. Charging to 300. Clear! Come on, come on. Again. Clear!</blockquote>

[Ayiana's heartbeat continues to flatline as Jonas helplessly looks at Fraiser.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Hammond, Thoran, Carter and Teal'c walk up the stairs into the room.]

<blockquote>THORAN 
His condition is beyond the healing of a hand device. However, there is a symbiote who is in dire need of a host.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What happened?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
The former host was mortally wounded on assignment and the symbiote was unable to heal him. We believe that would not be the case with Colonel O'Neill. Physical trauma is much more difficult to deal with than disease.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I do not believe Colonel O'Neill would chose to become a Tok'ra.</blockquote>

[Teal'c looks at Carter who nods in agreement.]

<blockquote>THORAN 
I am aware of the Colonel's dislike for our kind. However, I am surprised that you think he would choose death over blending.</blockquote>

[Jonas enters the room from the stairs, out of breath.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Ayiana's dead. Dr. Fraiser did everything she could, but…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
She may have been on borrowed time from the start.</blockquote>

[Jonas nods in agreement.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Jonas, this is Thoran of the Tok'ra. Thoran, this is Jonas Quinn. The Tok'ra are offering a symbiote in hopes that it can heal Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What does Colonel O'Neill have to say?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill's in a coma. The fact is we may be in the position of having to decide for him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How can we do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
No Tok'ra symbiote would choose to blend with an unwilling host permanently. Perhaps a temporary arrangement can be reached.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What do you mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
The symbiote, Kanan, is someone I know well. I have no doubt that he would be willing to blend with O'Neill, cure him, and then leave him again if another suitable host can be found.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If not?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THORAN 
I assure you he would ultimately sacrifice himself rather than remain with an unwilling host. Kanan's former host died before he was able to reveal the details of what we believe was vital intelligence about the undercover mission he was on. I cannot stress enough how important that information could be.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, I think it's obvious we all want to do anything we can to help Colonel O'Neill, but I really think this is something we at least have to give him the opportunity to decide for himself.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC—INFIRMARY QUARANTINE'''

[Carter enters, wearing a biohazard suit and joins Fraiser at O'Neill's bedside.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I'm administering 0.1 epi. I don't know if this is gonna work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Will it hurt him?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Can't get much worse.</blockquote>

[Fraiser moves away and Carter leans in closer to O'Neill.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, I don't know if you can hear me. The Tok'ra have offered you a deal. There's a symbiote that needs a host.</blockquote>

[Hammond and Jonas are standing in the observation room, looking down. Fraiser moves to stand at the foot of the bed.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
They think it could cure you. Now, it may be your only chance. It would only be temporary. It would come out of you as soon as they found another host.</blockquote>

[O'Neill is lying on the bed, sheened with perspiration. He seems to be unconscious and is wearing an oxygen mask.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, are you getting any of this?</blockquote>

[Carter moves away slightly and looks at Fraiser. Jonas and Hammond look down, concerned.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(weakly) 
Carter?</blockquote>

[Carter leans down over the bed again.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, I'm right here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(whispers) 
Over my dead body.</blockquote>

[Carter closes her eyes and slightly shakes her head.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, the symbiote's host died while they were on a mission. The Tok'ra have strong reason to believe that the symbiote has vital information to reveal and this would give him that chance. Now, they promised that if no other host was found within a reasonable amount of time, the symbiote would sacrifice itself rather than stay in an unwilling host. Sir, please.</blockquote>

[O'Neill flicks a look at Carter, frowns and seems to nod his head infinitesimally, then closes his eyes. Carter smiles and nods at Fraiser. They both turn to look up at the observation room.]

'''INT—SGC GATEROOM'''

[O'Neill is back in the containment stretcher. Carter, Thoran, Teal'c, Jonas, and two medics are carrying the stretcher. They walk through the Stargate.]

'''TEASER'''

'''FADE IN'''

'''EXT—STREET—NIGHTTIME'''

[A man walks quickly to his car, looks around agitatedly and gets in. As he drives he makes a call on his cell phone.]

'''INT—CARTER'S HOUSE'''

[Carter is woken by a ringing phone. She turns on the bedside lamp and answers the phone.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hello?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAN 
Is this Major Samantha Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Who is this?</blockquote>

'''INT—MAN'S CAR'''

<blockquote>MAN 
My name is Richard Flemming. You don't know me, but I need your help.</blockquote>

'''INT—CARTER'S HOUSE'''

[Carter looks at her bedside clock.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's 2 o'clock in the morning.</blockquote>

'''INT—FLEMMING'S CAR'''

<blockquote>FLEMMING 
I know what happened to you. I know about Adrian Conrad.</blockquote>

'''INT—CARTER'S HOUSE'''

[Carter half-sits in bed, more awake.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Who are you?</blockquote>

'''INT—FLEMMING'S CAR'''

<blockquote>FLEMMING 
They never shut the project down, Major, and now it's out of control.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What project?</blockquote>

[Lights are seen coming up fast towards Flemming's car.]

<blockquote>FLEMMING 
You have to protect me. They know that I…</blockquote>

'''INT—CARTER'S HOUSE'''

[Carter can hear screeching and crashing sounds through the phone and then a dial tone.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hello? Hello!</blockquote>

'''END TEASER'''

'''ROLL CREDITS'''

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Carter, Hammond, Jonas and Teal'c are sitting around the table. Carter passes folders around the table.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
His name is Doctor Richard Flemming. He's a biologist, formerly a professor of advanced genetics at Stanford.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Sure. He's famous for developing hybrid strains of disease resistant corn and cotton.</blockquote>

[The other three stop to look at Jonas]

<blockquote>JONAS 
I read an article about him in the American Journal for Evolutionary Science. The base library has a subscription…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, what the article didn't say, is that two years ago, he accepted a position with a company called Immunitech Research, which, it turns out, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zetatron Industries.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Adrian Conrad.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Who?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You don't know?</blockquote>

[Jonas shrugs.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Adrian Conrad was a man who had himself implanted with a stolen symbiote in order to cure himself of a deadly disease.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That was ten months ago. At the time, Immunitech was located in Phoenix. One week after we took Adrian Conrad into custody, their operations were scaled back and they moved to a small town on the coast of Oregon called…Steveston.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We need to talk to this Dr. Flemming.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
He was reported missing this morning, sir. They found his car totaled, but there was no body.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This obviously warrants further investigation. I'll have transportation arranged for the three of you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Colonel O'Neill won't be joining us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The Tok'ra are still looking for a suitable host for his symbiote.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You'll have to do your best without him. Dismissed.</blockquote>

[Hammond and Teal'c leave the briefing room. Carter and Jonas linger at the table.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
You knew who Adrian Conrad was, didn't you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, I've memorized all your mission reports. I just don't want people around here to start thinking I'm…strange.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
People don't think you're…strange.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What about Colonel O'Neill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(after a moment) 
Let's get some lunch.</blockquote>

[Carter gets up from the table leaving Jonas' question unanswered.]

'''EXT—A SMALL TOWN—DAYTIME'''

[A car drives up to the curb and parks. Carter, Teal'c and Jonas exit the vehicle. All three are wearing black and Teal'c has a cap covering his forehead marking. Jonas is viewing the town through a digital camera.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What are you doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Keeping a visual record. I'll catalog all the images when we get back to the base. Teal'c!</blockquote>

[Teal'c turns his head towards Jonas, who takes a picture of him.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
See…the image appears right there on the back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm going to go talk to the Sheriff. Keep an eye on Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Sure.</blockquote>

[Carter walks up to Teal'c as Jonas begins to take pictures of the surrounding area.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(quietly to Teal'c) 
Keep an eye on Jonas.</blockquote>

[Teal'c nods slightly as Carter walks away.]

'''INT—SHERIFF'S OFFICE'''

[Carter enters. The office appears empty, apart from one Deputy sitting at a desk. Carter walks towards him.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Excuse me…Hi.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DEPUTY 
Hi.</blockquote>

[The Deputy stands as Carter approaches.]

<blockquote>DEPUTY 
Can I help you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Major Samantha Carter with the Air Force. I'm looking for Sheriff Knox.</blockquote>

[The Deputy points behind her. Carter turns around.]

<blockquote>KNOX 
I'm Sheriff Knox. Welcome to Steveston, Major.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Thank you, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
(to his deputy) 
Hey, those doughnuts… 
(then to Carter) 
You want anything, Major?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh…no, thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DEPUTY 
Sure thing.</blockquote>

[The Deputy leaves.]

<blockquote>KNOX 
Have a seat, Major.</blockquote>

[He gestures toward his desk and they both walk to it. Knox takes a seat behind his desk as Carter sits opposite him.]

<blockquote>KNOX 
So, uh…you're looking for information about Dr. Richard Flemming?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's right. I understand he's missing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
We found his car in a ditch outside of town. It's pretty badly smashed up, but there was no sign of him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Can I see the car?</blockquote>

[Knox hands her a file folder which contains a photo of the wrecked car.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
You think he walked away from this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
Look, Major…no offense, but this is my problem. The Air Force has no jurisdiction here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I know I can't force you to tell me anything, but Dr. Flemming may have had information pertaining to a matter of national security. I'm asking for your help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
We haven't had a murder in this county in eight years.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, you don't think it was an accident.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
Well, at the very least, someone didn't want us to find the body.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Did you know him?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
The people at Immunitech didn't mix too much with the locals, but according to his coworkers, he was acting a little strange, lately.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Strange how?</blockquote>

[Knox picks up and evidence bag and hands it to Carter.]

<blockquote>KNOX 
Nervous, agitated. We found these in his glove compartment.</blockquote>

[Carter studies the contents of the bag.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Amphetamines.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
He had no history of drug use.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'd like to see his lab, if I may.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
There was a fire last night at Immunitech. The place was gutted.</blockquote>

'''EXT—STEVESON STREET'''

[Carter walks up to Teal'c and Jonas who are still at the car.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Flemming's lab was destroyed in a fire.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
(who is sucking on a lollipop) 
So what now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Check out his house.</blockquote>

[All three get into the car. As they drive away, a man steps onto the road and stares after them.]

'''INT—DR FLEMMING'S HOUSE'''

[Carter picks the lock and all three enter the house and begin looking around. Carter sits at a computer. Jonas and Teal'c enter the room.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Find anything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Nothing of interest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Me neither. There's nothing on the hard drive. There's no disks, no notes, no papers…there's not even a credit card bill. This place has been cleaned.</blockquote>

[Teal'c notices a van pull up to the house]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Major Carter.</blockquote>

[Teal'c nods slightly toward the window. Carter gets up as a delivery driver walks towards the house, carrying a package. Carter greets her at the front door.]

<blockquote>DELIVERY WOMAN 
Can you sign for this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh, sure.</blockquote>

[Carter signs for the package and the driver gives it to her.]

<blockquote>DELIVERY WOMAN 
Thanks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Thank you.</blockquote>

[Carter closes the front door as the driver leaves. Carter brings the package back into the computer room where Teal'c and Jonas are waiting.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, this is…odd.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This package to Dr. Richard Flemming was sent from Dr. Richard Flemming.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Why would he send something to himself?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Maybe he knew they were going to search the house. It's a good way to hide something for a couple of days.</blockquote>

[Carter cuts the box open and digs through the packing material to find a long, slender silver cylinder. She opens the cylinder and pulls out a very large syringe which contains an amber colored liquid.]

'''INT—HOTEL ROOM—NIGHTTIME'''

[Carter is sitting on a desk by a curtained window. She is holding the syringe and studying it.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
The police found amphetamines. We found a syringe. I think we need to at least admit there's a possibility that Dr. Flemming was suffering from some kind of drug-induced paranoia.</blockquote>

[Teal'c is sitting on a chair by the doorway to the kitchen. Jonas is in the kitchen.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Perhaps his paranoia was well founded. He is missing. His place of work was destroyed and all evidence was removed from his home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, the scientists working for Adrian Conrad were studying the symbiote in order to create some kind of super drug. Maybe this is what they came up with.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, if that's true…then a lot of people would kill to get their hands on it.</blockquote>

[Jonas is eating a slice of toast.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, we won't know anything for sure until we send a sample of this back to the base for analysis. I think tomorrow we should talk to other people who worked at Immunitech. We need to figure out what was going on at that lab.</blockquote>

[Carter injects some of the syringe contents into a sample tube.]

'''EXT—STEVESON STREET—NIGHTTIME'''

[There is no sign of life on the street. Elsewhere, people are gathering at a large building near the water. They appear to be in a zombie-like state. They gather around as a man (credited as Townsperson) begins to speak.]

<blockquote>TOWNSPERSON 
As some of you may already know, we have three uninvited guests in town. They are asking questions. The chances are they won't find anything. But, if they do…then we will have to deal with them.</blockquote>

'''EXT—STEVESON STREET—DAYTIME'''

[Carter walks into a diner.]

'''INT—DINER'''

[Teal'c and Jonas are already seated and Carter joins them.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hey.</blockquote>

[Jonas dips a fry in his chocolate shake and eats it.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Mm.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Nice lunch.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Mm. I'm really starting to enjoy this, uh, traditional American food. Mm.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We have another tradition…it's called hardened arteries.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Were you able to learn anything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No one who worked at Immunitech wants to talk.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Our attempts to gather information from the local town folk proved equally fruitless.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I wouldn't say that.</blockquote>

[Teal'c and Carter look at Jonas, waiting for an explanation, as Jonas shovels more food into his mouth.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Don't tell me you haven't noticed how strangely people have been acting around here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What are you talking about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, for instance, that man there, right behind Teal'c. He doesn't realize it, but he just put eight cubes of sugar into his coffee. And that lady over at the counter? She's been reading the same article for a half an hour. Since we sat down, that waitress has dropped her tray twice, the cook has gotten three orders wrong, including my hamburger, which I ordered medium rare but is in fact well done. I've been noticing similar behavior all morning. It's like, uh, the entire town's half asleep.</blockquote>

[The Deputy approaches their table.]

<blockquote>DEPUTY 
Major Carter. Sorry to bother you. Sheriff Knox would like to see you.</blockquote>

[Carter raises her eyebrows at Teal'c and gets up to leave with the Deputy. The same man who watched the three drive away in the car is again watching them.]

'''INT—SHERIFF'S OFFICE'''

[Carter is sitting across the desk from the Sheriff.]

<blockquote>KNOX 
I understand you and your colleagues have been asking a lot of questions around town.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah. Is that a problem?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
We found gasoline residue at the lab. A lot of it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So the fire was deliberate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
Which means the stakes have gotten a lot higher. Major, if you know something…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sheriff, I already told you. My investigation pertains to a matter of…</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
National Security, I know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The truth is, I didn't get any useful information this morning.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
I'm not surprised. Everyone who worked at the lab had a confidentiality agreement. Nobody wants to get sued.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, now that we know it was arson, maybe the company will be willing to cooperate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
I wouldn't be too sure about that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, they're gonna want to know who burned their lab down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
There's something you don't know. Two months ago, another Immunitech researcher named Peter Stofer disappeared. The case was never solved.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why didn't you tell me this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
The town's been through some rough times, Major. Shipyard shut down two years ago, put everybody out of work. When Immunitech came along, they brought a lot of money to the area.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, nobody wants to hear anything bad about them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
There was no solid evidence of foul play in the Stofer case. He just didn't show up for work one day and hasn't been seen since. But I did get the feeling the company had something to hide.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What do you mean?</blockquote>

[Knox picks up a storage box and places it on his desk.]

<blockquote>KNOX 
We subpoenaed documents from them.</blockquote>

[Knox opens the lid and takes out an expandable file folder. He hands it to Carter.]

<blockquote>KNOX 
This is what we got.</blockquote>

[Carter looks at the papers in the folder which are stamped Confidentail.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Did Stofer work with Dr. Flemming?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
They were partners.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm gonna need to borrow these.</blockquote>

[The sheriff nods his head.]

'''INT—HOTEL ROOM'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, this is interesting. It's a shipping invoice.</blockquote>

[Carter, Teal'c and Jonas are looking through the files she got from the Sheriff.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Flemming and Stofer ordered all the latest material on stem cell research.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Really?</blockquote>

[Carter hands the invoice to Jonas.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Hmm. There's no record of Immunitech doing reasearch in that area. That's…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Why would they keep that a secret?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, stem cells can be used to create skin grafts or replacement organs, but theoretically, they can also be used to create human clones.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Which is illegal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So if they were doing some kind of cloning research and Flemming decided to blow the whistle…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He would have to be silenced.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
But why would he call you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It must have something to do with Adrian Conrad. We should go through the rest of this stuff, see if anything turns up.</blockquote>

[The three go back to studying the papers.]

'''EXT—STEVESON STREET—NIGHTTIME'''

[Teal'c and Jonas are walking down the deserted street towards a local bar.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
This town certainly does get quiet at night.</blockquote>

[As they enter the bar people stop talking. Several patrons turn on their stools at the bar and stare at the pair.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Evening.</blockquote>

[The men on the stool simply stare. The room continues to be quiet. Teal'c and Jonas walk to a table and take a seat. They are approached by the barkeep.]

<blockquote>BARTENDER 
What can I getcha?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Ginger ale.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I'll have the same.</blockquote>

[The barkeep leaves to get their drinks.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(quietly) 
It does not appear we are welcome here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, it's natural for small town people to be suspicious of strangers, right? We just have to give it more of an effort.</blockquote>

[Jonas looks towards the bar, smiles and calls out.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Hey, guys.</blockquote>

[The men at the bar turn to stare at Jonas, who gives them a thumbs up. When the men continue staring, Jonas turns sheepishly to Teal'c.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You have much to learn about humans.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
That's kind of my point—How are we supposed to fit in when we spend all our time on base?</blockquote>

[The barkeep brings their drinks to the table and bangs them down before turning to leave.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Thanks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I have a sufficient understanding of Earth culture.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
But you'll never really be one of them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This is not my home. When my time with SG-1 is done, I will return to Chulak with my son.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I guess that's the difference between us. I don't think I'll be able to go back.</blockquote>

[Several of the bar patrons approach the duo.]

<blockquote>ANTAGONISTIC BAR GUY 
You're in our seats.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
There are many empty seats.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTAGONISTIC BAR GUY 
But these are ours.</blockquote>

[Teal'c looks at Jonas, puts his glass down and slowly rises to face Antagonistic Bar Guy. At that moment, the Sheriff walks in.]

<blockquote>KNOX 
Is there a problem here?</blockquote>

[Teal'c turns his head to look at the Sheriff.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
No.</blockquote>

[He, too, rises out of his seat.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Apparently, we were in their seats.</blockquote>

[Jonas places some money on the table and walks between Teal'c and the patrons to leave. Teal'c bows slightly and follows Jonas out of the bar. The Sheriff approaches the patrons, a very serious and angry look on his face.]

<blockquote>KNOX 
What was that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTAGONISTIC BAR GUY 
They're not fit to be in our presence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
If you do anything to jeopardize this operation, I will kill you myself.</blockquote>

'''INT—DINER—DAYTIME'''

[Carter, Teal'c and Jonas are sitting at a table, eating.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I spoke with Janet this morning. She did a preliminary analysis on the sample I sent her. She thinks the liquid in the syringe might be some sort of sulfa-based antibiotic.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
So, some kind of, uh, miracle drug.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We won't know anything for sure until we get more test results back.</blockquote>

[As they continue to eat, Antagonistic Bar Guy from the bar enters the diner and sits at the counter.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
That's the guy from the bar.</blockquote>

[He gets up from the table and walks to pat the guy on the back.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Hi.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTAGONISTIC BAR GUY 
Hello?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Sorry about our…misunderstanding last night.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTAGONISTIC BAR GUY 
Excuse me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
At the bar, our little confrontation…my friend and I were in your seats.</blockquote>

[Jonas gestures to where Teal'c and Carter are sitting. The patron turns to look at them. Teal'c nods his head.]

<blockquote>ANTAGONISTIC BAR GUY 
I'm afraid you've got me mistaken for someone else.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I don't think so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTAGONISTIC BAR GUY 
Last night, I was home in bed.</blockquote>

'''EXT—STEVESON STREET—DAYTIME'''

[Carter, Teal'c and Jonas are walking down the street.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
That's a little strange…he didn't seem to remember us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Perhaps he had consumed too much alcohol.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Though of that, but he wasn't showing any of the signs of a hangover.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Maybe he didn't want his wife to know he was in the bar.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
He didn't have a wedding ring.</blockquote>

[Teal'c is leading and he stops and turns toward the others.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We are being watched. The silver car…</blockquote>

[Carter and Jonas nonchalantly look across the street to see a man who is leaning on a silver car across the street. He has his back to them and is watching them through the reflection in a storefront window.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
That's the guy from the Sheriff's office. He was outside when we first got into town. He was in the restaurant yesterday.</blockquote>

[Carter looks at Jonas, then at Teal'c. Without saying a word, the three of them head down a side street. The man (credited as Dark Haired Man—DHM) starts following them. He chases them down the side street and stops at the edge of a fence. Suddenly, a black gloved hand reaches out and drags the man behind the fence. The hand belongs to Teal'c and he slams the man up against the fence.]

<blockquote>DHM 
OK. Take it easy.</blockquote>

[Carter approaches the two men.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why are you following us?</blockquote>

[Jonas appears from around the corner.]

<blockquote>DHM 
I don't know what you're talking about.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Teal'c.</blockquote>

[Teal'c pulls up harder on the man's shirt.]

<blockquote>DHM 
All right, all right, all right. I wasn't sure if you could be trusted.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
With what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DHM 
I was a security guard at Immunitech.</blockquote>

[He hands Carter an ID badge and she looks it over.]

<blockquote>DHM 
I think Dr. Flemming was murdered.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Why would you say that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DHM 
Well, about a week ago he came to me, wanted to know if I could get him a gun. Said his life was in danger and I was the only one that could help him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DHM 
Well, that's the weird part. He said that the people who were after him only come out during the night while everyone's asleep. Since I work the graveyard shift, and sleep during the day, I guess he figured I was one of 'em. First, I thought he was crazy, and then he went missing. That's when I decided that working for Immunitech was a little too dangerous.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why didn't you tell the Sheriff?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DHM 
Flemming said that no one in the town could be trusted. But I figured I owed the guy to tell someone. If it hadn't been for him, I would have died in that fire.</blockquote>

[Carter puts the ID badge back in the man's vest pocket.]

'''INT—HOTEL ROOM—DAYTIME'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
They only come out at night. What exactly is that supposed to mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, maybe this has something to do with what happened to us at the bar.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Indeed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What did happen to you at the bar?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We were met with hostility.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You didn't say anything weird, did you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Why are you looking at me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Anyway, random aggressiveness in a bar isn't that unusual.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
But why didn't the man from the restaurant remember me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Are you sure it was the same guy?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Positive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Jonas Quinn is correct. It was the same man.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yesterday, you said that there was evidence that Flemming and Stofer were conducting research into cloning.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, I said there was evidence they were reading up on stem cells.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Which can be used to create human clones. What if the man from the restaurant doesn't remember because the man in the bar wasn't really him? He was a clone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, no, no. Jonas. You can create replicas of fully grown people. They'd be infants.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Still, the people of this town are behaving strangely. Even for humans.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The town's been through a lot. First, the shipyard was shut down, then the lab was destroyed. The entire future of the town's in jeopardy.</blockquote>

[Jonas suddenly stops playing with his cup of tea. He has a look of concentration on his face.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What?</blockquote>

'''EXT—SHIPYARD—DAYTIME'''

[Carter, Teal'c and Jonas are inspecting a tyre track in the snow.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
You noticed these tire marks from the road?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I didn't think much of 'em at the time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This area has been well traveled, and recently. There are many footprints as well as tire tracks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Let's check it out.</blockquote>

[They walk towards a large building. Carter walks up to a door, picks the lock and enters.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
You have got to teach me how to do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wormhole theory, motorcycle riding and lock-picking.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Not necessarily in that order.</blockquote>

[Jonas and Teal'c follow her into the building. They begin to look around. Carter notices offices off to their right and points in that direction.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
In there</blockquote>

[They follow her and begin looking around the office. Carter starts flipping through a tray of CDs.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Somebody's been busy.</blockquote>

[Teal'c finds a blueprint on a table and unrolls it.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
These appear to be schematics.</blockquote>

[Carter walks over to look at the blueprint]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, but for what?</blockquote>

[Jonas looks throughsome window blinds.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
I've got a pretty good idea.</blockquote>

[Jonas opens a door next to the window. Teal'c and Carter join him as he slides the door open to reveal a large room. It appears that a spaceship is being built. Jonas whistles in amazement.]

'''INT—HOTEL ROOM—NIGHTTIME'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
(on the phone) 
Near as we can tell, sir, it's some kind of alien ship, partially constructed…No, sir, I don't think we should do anything drastic until we have more information…Yes, sir. Understood.</blockquote>

[She hangs up the phone and turns to join Teal'c and Jonas who are sitting at a table, working at a laptop computer.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
General Hammond's going to hold off calling in the troops until we can figure out who built this thing and why.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, all the disks we got from the shipyards are encoded. I can't read any of them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Let me try.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[Carter takes Jonas' place at the table.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Adrian Conrad illegally acquired a symbiote from Colonel Maybourne. It is possible he also acquired alien technology.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't know, I mean this is unlike anything the Russians or the NID ever had.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Then there must be some kind of alien presence her in town.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It looks that way. But, how did they get here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is not probable they arrived through the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
If they came by ship, why would they be building another one?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Perhaps an accident or a malfunction.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, either way, they're not finished, which means they'll be back. My guess is they work under the cover of darkness.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
They only come out at night.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
OK, I think I can break this code, but it's gonna take a while.</blockquote>

'''EXT—SHIPYARD—NIGHTTIME'''

[Teal'c and Jonas are sitting in the car, watching the large building. Jonas places two zats on the dashboard.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(over the radio) 
Teal'c, is there any activity?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(into the radio) 
Negative. How is the decryption progressing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Slowly.</blockquote>

[The street is again deserted.]

'''INT—SHERIFF'S BEDROOM'''

[The Sheriff turns out his bedside lamp and closes his eyes to sleep. Seconds later his eyes come wide open and in a trance-like state, he gets out of bed and picks up his clothes and weapon holster]

'''EXT—SHIPYARD—NIGHTTIME'''

[A number of cars approach the large building. Teal'c and Jonas are still in the vehicle, watching.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Something's happening.</blockquote>

[Teal'c picks up a pair of binoculars to get a closer look at the arriving cars.]

'''INT—HOTEL ROOM'''

[Carter is working at the laptop computer.]

<blockquote>CARTER

[A window opens up on the computer, and fills with hieroglyphs.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh, my God.</blockquote>

[Teal'c is watching people get out of their cars and walk into the building.]

<blockquote>CARTER

Teal'c, come in.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(into the radio) 
Major Carter, many of the townspeople have arrived at the shipyard.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(over the radio) 
They're Goa'uld. Repeat, the people building the ship are Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(into the radio) 
How is that possible?</blockquote>

'''INT—HOTEL ROOM'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
(into the radio) 
Flemming and Stofer really were doing cloning research, only it was Adrian Conrad's symbiote that they cloned.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C

<blockquote>CARTER

There's no Naquadah in their blood.</blockquote>

[Teal'c is again looking through the binoculars.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
There's way too many of 'em.</blockquote>

'''INT—CAR'''

<blockquote>TEAL'C

Affirmative.</blockquote>

[As Teal'c prepares to start the car, the driver's side door opens. The Deputy is pointing a gun at him.]

<blockquote>DEPUTY 
Hold it. Leave the weapons on the dash. Put your hands in the air and get out of the car.</blockquote>

[A van drives up alongside the car. Teal'c exits the car. Another man opens the passenger side door, points a gun at Jonas and gestures for him to leave the car.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
What is this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>OTHER MAN 
Get in the van.</blockquote>

[Jonas exits the car and he and Teal'c climb into the back of the van. The second man takes the zats off the dash.]

'''INT—HOTEL ROOM'''

[Carter looks up frpm the laptop as she hears cars approaching. She looks through the window as a number of vehicles stop outside and a line of people advances towards her room. She goes to her bag and pulls out her pistol. As silhouettes appear at the window and the door is banged and tried to be opened from the outside, she reaches for the syringe from Dr. Flemming's house, removes the needle cover, inverts the syringe and squirts a little out of the needle.]

'''INT—BACK OF THE VAN.'''

[Jonas and Teal'c are sitting on a bench on one side of the van with the Deputy sitting across from them with his gun trained on them. The second man is driving.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Where are you taking us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DEPUTY 
Back to the motel. We want you out of town by daybreak.</blockquote>

[The Deputy holsters his gun.]

<blockquote>DEPUTY 
I'm agent Cross, that's agent Singer. N.I.D.</blockquote>

[Agent Singer, driving, briefly looks back into the van.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
So you know what's going on here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CROSS 
Of course. We've been monitoring the situation for the last three months.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(to Jonas) 
They are waiting for the symbiotes to complete the ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CROSS 
It's going to be the first line of our new planetary defense system.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
You set this whole thing up?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CROSS 
No. We just took advantage of the situation. Immunitech cloned the symbiotes. Then there was some kind of an accident. We figure Flemming was the first to be infected and then he went after the other townspeople.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Flemming is the one who tipped us off.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The symbiotes are immature. They are too weak to assert permanent control.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CROSS 
But when the hosts go to sleep, they take over. When people wake up the next morning, they're a little tired, but none the wiser.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
That's why Flemming was on Amphetamines.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You may acquire a ship, but what of the townspeople?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CROSS 
Oh, don't worry about them, we have ways of dealing with that situation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We will report this to Stargate Command.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CROSS 
Go ahead. This isn't some rogue operation. We have the full support of our superiors. And when this mission is completed, we will have succeeded where the SGC failed for five years. We have all the angles covered.</blockquote>

[Jonas shakes his head in disgust. Teal'c stares at Cross.]

'''INT—SHERIFF'S OFFICE'''

[Carter is seated in a chair with her hands cuffed to behind her. The Sheriff is placing a cloth over her mouth and nose. She struggles for a moment, then goes limp. There is a woman standing behind the Sheriff and there are several other people standing opposite them watching. Carter is unconscious, her head down. The Sheriff joins the others and nods to the woman who was standing behind him. She reaches into a small cooler with a pair of tongs and pulls out one of several small symbiotes from the liquid inside the cooler. She walks up behind Carter and places the symbiote into her via her neck. Seconds later, Carter's head rises and her eyes flash.]

'''EXT—OUTSIDE THE HOTEL'''

[The van pulls up outside the hotel. Teal'c and Jonas run to the room as they notice that the door is wide open.]

'''INT—HOTEL ROOM'''

<blockquote>JONAS 
Sam? Sam?</blockquote>

[As Jonas checks the bathroom, Teal'c and Cross check the items on the table. Jonas joins the others on his way out of the room.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
They took her.</blockquote>

[The empty syringe lies, unnoticed under the bed.]

'''EXT—OUTSIDE THE HOTEL'''

[Jonas and Teal'c walk to the back of the van. Jonas stops and turns to Cross and Singer.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
You have to do something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CROSS 
Relax. We have a containment team on stand-by for emergencies. We can have this whole town locked down and quarantined in forty-five minutes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Then do so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Your operation is blown, Agent Cross. The symbiotes know we're on to 'em.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CROSS 
(into his radio) 
This is Cross. We have a code six, I repeat, a code six. This is not a drill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CROSS 
(to Teal'c and Jonas) 
We just lost five hundred years of technical advancement.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SINGER 
It's much worse than that.</blockquote>

[Cross turns toward Singer (who is standing behind him).br/ger is holding a primed zat on them. The zat is fired.]

'''INT—SHERIFF'S OFFICE'''

[A groggy Jonas is coming around and sees Carter standing in front of him. He moans and tries to focus his eyes.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Sam. You all right?</blockquote>

[Teal'c is awake and he, Jonas and Cross are cuffed with their arms behind their back.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
What's going on?</blockquote>

[Carter slaps him.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
You should only speak when spoken to.</blockquote>

[Jonas grimaces, as Teal'c stares at Carter.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Okay.</blockquote>

[Carter turns to the Sheriff, Singer and a townsperson who are standing behind her. The Sheriff nods to a woman who opens a cooler, pulls out a symbiote and implants it in Cross. Seconds after the symbiote is implanted, his head rises and his eyes glow.]

<blockquote>KNOX 
Welcome, brother. You know where you are?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CROSS 
I have the memories of my host.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
Good. When the containment team gets here, you and Agent Singer will take the symbiotes and report back to NID headquarters.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TOWNSPERSON 
What about the rest of us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
We'll be detained.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SINGER 
It'll only be a matter of days before we've taken control of the organization.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
That's an ambitious plan.</blockquote>

[Carter moves towards Jonas as if to strike him again.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Easy…okay? Sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
The irony is, we only wanted to get off this pathetic planet, but when we realized they were watching us, we came up with a new plan.</blockquote>

[Cross stands to take two coolers from the woman and turns to leave.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wait. Major Carter was writing a report on her computer. It would be better if the containment team didn't find it.</blockquote>

[Cross turns to Knox.]

<blockquote>KNOX 
Get the computer first.</blockquote>

[Cross nods and he and Singer depart.]

<blockquote>TOWNSPERSON 
Should we use these two as hosts?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No.</blockquote>

[Carter walks over to Teal'c and lifts his cap to show the gold emblem on his forehead.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
This one is Jaffa.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
Sholva! You should be serving your God.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Apophis, the false god, is dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KNOX 
Really?</blockquote>

[Knox looks towards Jonas.]

<blockquote>KNOX 
What about this one?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
He's an alien. The humans don't really trust him.</blockquote>

[Jonas has a surprised and questioning look on his face. Carter picks up a zat off a desk, activates it and aims at Teal'c and Jonas.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We'll have to kill them.</blockquote>

'''EXT—STEVESON STREET—NIGHTTIME'''

[A number of Army trucks drive into the town. Armed troops embark and take up positions throughout the town.]

'''INT—HOTEL ROOM'''

[Cross grab Carter's laptop from the hotel room as a helicopter flies overhead. He and Singer, carrying the two coolers, get into a black van.]

'''INT—SHERIFF'S OFFICE'''

[Troops burst into the Sheriff's office where the Sheriff and a number of townspeople are lying unconscious on the floor. Teal'c and Jonas are still cuffed to the chairs. Carter is nowhere to be seen.]

'''EXT—ROADBLOCK—NIGHTTIME'''

[Cross and Singer approach the road block.]

<blockquote>CROSS 
Sergeant Krieger.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KRIEGER 
Agent Cross.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CROSS 
What's our status?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KRIEGER 
Perimeter is in place. We're ready to begin rounding up the citizens.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CROSS 
Excellent. Agent Singer and I are going to need transportation immediately to headquarters.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KRIEGER 
I'll call in the chopper.</blockquote>

[Another agent pulls the bolt on his rifle, pointing at a police car which is approaching the roadblock. Several agents approach the police car, their weapons raised.]

<blockquote>AGENT #1 
Get out of the car! Keep your hands where we can see 'em!</blockquote>

[Carter gets out, hands raised.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(to Agent Krieger) 
I'm Major Carter, United State Air Force. I have important information for Agent Cross.</blockquote>

[Krieger looks behind him to where Cross and Singer are standing.]

<blockquote>CROSS 
Let her through.</blockquote>

[Carter approaches the two agents and they head off towards the other side of the van, away from the other agents.]

<blockquote>CROSS 
What are you doing here? You were supposed to be detained with the others.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Major Carter's far more valuable to you if she hasn't been exposed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CROSS 
That wasn't part of the plan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SINGER 
No. She's right. While we're taking over the NID, she can infiltrate Stargate Command.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CROSS 
It's too risky.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SINGER 
You worry too much.</blockquote>

[Singer reaches into the van and pulls out one of the coolers.]

<blockquote>SINGER 
The humans have no idea what's going on here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oooh, I wouldn't exactly say that.</blockquote>

[Carter pulls a zat out from her back waistband, primes it and zats both agents once.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
You guys aren't nearly as smart as you think you are.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Carter, Hammond, Teal'c and Jonas are sitting around the briefing room table.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I translated enough of the Goa'uld writing to know that Immuitech had engineered the symbiotes with a built-in kill switch. A susceptibility to a particular antibiotic.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
The syringe. So we had it along?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
When I saw the Goa'uld coming, I figured I had nothing to lose, so I injected myself and it acted like a vaccine. It took only a few minutes to kill the symbiote and then…I just played along.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We had similar results with the townspeople. They all responded positively to the treatment.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Each dead symbiote will slowly break down and be absorbed into the host body.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Do the townspeople have any recollection of these events?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
As far as they know, they were all inoculated against an outbreak of meningitis.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
So what about the ship?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's been transferred to Area 51. Even though it's not complete, it may still prove valuable.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
All right. Dismissed.</blockquote>

[Hammond and Teal'c get up and leave. Carter and Jonas linger.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
So when we were in the Sheriff's Office…you were in complete control?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
And you felt it absolutely necessary…to really slap me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Had to make it look good. Let's get some lunch.</blockquote>

'''TEASER'''

'''FADE IN'''

<blockquote>VOICE-OVER 
Previously, on Stargate SG-1.</blockquote>

[Scenes from "Menace", Season 5.]

[Replicators are overrunning the SGC.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Reese, your father made you wrong!</blockquote>

<blockquote>REESE 
No!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes!</blockquote>

[The door to the gateroom falls to the ground with a clang and O'Neill enters, shooting Reese.]

[Scene from "Revelations", Season 5.]

<blockquote>FREYR 
If, as you say, this android was responsible for creating the first generation of Replicators, it may well prove invaluable.</blockquote>

[Scenes from "Prometheus", Season 6.]

[The X-303 rises up out of the ground.]

<blockquote>MAJOR DAVIS 
(to O'Neill and Teal'c) 
The radar system on the X-303 is still incomplete. Fly into the lower bay, they'll never see you coming!</blockquote>

[Shot of the X-303 in space as a smaller ship approaches.]

[Someone shoots the "traitors" on the X-303 with a zat as Carter looks on.]

[The X-303 disappears into hyperspace.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I have no idea where we are. I can't plot a course for home.</blockquote>

[Thor's ship appears.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's the Asgard.</blockquote>

[Thor appears on the bridge of the X-303 in his chair.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Can you help us out here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
It is we who need your help. The Asgard homeworld has been overrun by the Replicators.</blockquote>

'''END FLASHBACKS'''

'''EXT—SHOT OF THE X-303 AND THOR'S SHIP IN SPACE'''

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Are you serious?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
Very.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
This ship you need, this brand new ship…</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So new it doesn't have a name yet. It's not even finished.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I think that's the point, sir. The more low-tech, the better.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
Correct, Major Carter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
It certainly defies conventional wisdom.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Mine, too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
The Replicators will not wish to integrate such vastly inferior technology into their own.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Then… what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
A task for which you are uniquely suited.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You need someone dumb enough.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
On the contrary, it is both your physical prowess and military expertise that are required.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
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…</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
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>

<blockquote>CARTER 
By us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
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>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Then, you were able to reactivate her?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
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>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What was the command?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
To come forth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
You instructed every Replicator out there to come to you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I have a theory why you lost the war.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
The command was only given once the trap was set.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What was the trap?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
A time dilation device generating a field radius of point one six light years.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wow, that's some trap. </blockquote>

[O'Neill looks at her.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
They created a bubble in space around the Replicators within which time was slowed down by a factor of…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
Ten to the fourth power.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
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…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I get it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, the point is, it didn't work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
O'Neill is correct. Our plan failed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What went wrong?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
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>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, however strong neutronium is, wouldn't the Replicators be able to eat through it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
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>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, somehow the Replicators must have gotten to the time dilation device before it could activate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
That appears to be the only explanation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So, what do you want us to do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
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>

[O'Neill looks at Thor in disbelief.]

'''EXT—SHOT OF THE X-303 AND THOR'S SHIP IN SPACE'''

'''INT—X-303 COMMAND DECK'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thor, buddy, there's no way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
The Replicators will soon consume all that they can within our home galaxy. Yours will be next.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I thought we were too primitive to consume.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
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>

<blockquote>CARTER 
For that matter, so would every other world we've visited. It's just a matter of time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Did all of the Asgard manage to escape?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
My response?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
We have done all that we can and failed, O'Neill. You and your team represent our last hope.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, great, so, no pressure, right?</blockquote>

[He stands up and approaches Thor.]

<blockquote>THOR 
If you have in fact made your decision not to undertake this task, I will inform the Council.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Just… give me a minute here, okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Are you reconsidering, O'Neill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm considering reconsidering.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, there has to be other options.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
We believe there is no alternative plan of action.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Thor, I don't think you realize what you're asking us to do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
In the past, your projectile weapons have been most effective.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, well, we don't have any projectile weapons with us at the moment, and according to Carter, we're a long way from…</blockquote>

[Thor moves a control device on the board attached to his chair, and Earth suddenly appears on the viewscreen.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
…home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You towed us back into Earth's orbit.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I hope you did the paperwork.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wait a minute, we have a few passengers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
They are being transported to Stargate Command.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I haven't said yes, yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
But you are reconsidering.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm… leaning in the general direction.</blockquote>

[Thor moves another control device, and Earth suddenly disappears from the screen.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, what are you doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We're leaving the solar system.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thor, little fella, I… that's not the way it works. It's not my ship. It's not up to me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
The journey to our home galaxy will take many hours with your vessel in tow. You may consult your superiors en route.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Alarm klaxons are sounding as Hammond enters.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Sergeant?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SILER 
I can't explain it, sir. It's like everything in the armory just disappeared - P90s, SPAS 12s, SAWs, Claymores, everything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SGT. DAVIS 
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>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You're certain the stargate's been inactive?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SGT. DAVIS 
Yes, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What in God's name is happening?</blockquote>

[A hologram of O'Neill suddenly appears.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hello, sir, Siler.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel, it's good to see you alive and well. We were concerned the X-303 was lost with all hands.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, sir, we're all fine. Except for the Goa'uld, and Simmons, of course.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
So, you were rescued by the Asgard.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Actually, it kinda looks like we'll be coming to their rescue, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Does this have anything to do with the supplies and equipment that are disappearing from all over my base?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir. Suffice to say you might want to get upstairs and punch one on the old speed dial.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
My grandchildren?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Two, then. I think the president might want to know what the Asgard have in mind for our new ship.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

[Carter is working at a console as O'Neill enters.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They didn't go for it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They didn't approve the mission?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
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>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, what didn't they go for?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
The name I suggested.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
For the ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah. Sir, we can't call it the Enterprise.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why not?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The code name for the project is Prometheus. What’s wrong with that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It’s a Greek tragedy. Who wants that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay. The X-303 it is, then.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah. </blockquote>

[He looks at the device she's been working on.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What have you got there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, the Asgard surmised that the Replicators probably disabled the time dilation device by destroying the control interface mechanism.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Uh-huh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I’m hungry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Cargo bay three, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thanks.</blockquote>

[He leaves, and Carter goes back to work.]

'''INT—CARGO BAY THREE'''

[O'Neill opens the door to find Teal’c and Jonas eating ice cream.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You guys trying to make yourselves sick?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, Thor forgot to take the need for refrigeration into account, so we figured we’d start with the frozen stuff. </blockquote>

[He takes another spoonful.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
This is good. Mmmm.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I’ll buy that.</blockquote>

[He sits down on a crate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So, Jonas, first time going up against a Replicator, eh?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Um-hmm.</blockquote>

[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.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Fascinating?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
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>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Replicators exist merely to increase their numbers and do so without prejudice. They are no more evil that a virus.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
A really evil virus.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
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>

[Teal’c swaps his ice cream for O'Neill’s.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We are slowing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(over the radio) 
Colonel, you should come forward, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We’re on our way.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

[O'Neill, Teal’c, and Jonas enter.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We just came out of hyperspace a minute ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
But you’re gonna wait here for us, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
There is now another concern. Our long-range sensors have discovered that the time dilation device was indeed activated.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, that’s good. 
(pause) 
It’s not good?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
Time is now progressing faster within the field.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They reversed it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
By a factor of ten squared.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What is with you people? Time machines are nothing but trouble, even we know that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Clearly, the Replicators have discovered a means of utilizing the time dilation machine to serve their own purpose.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Well, what would that purpose be?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, I gotta tell you, this changes things. 
(pause) 
Carter, how does this change things?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don’t know, sir. I guess it doesn’t.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You mean we’ve got the same problem we had an hour ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I get it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
If you wish to reconsider…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, no. Full well expected the other shoe to drop eventually.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
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>

[Thor disappears. Everyone sits down.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Setting course to programmed coordinates. Throttling up sub-light engines.</blockquote>

'''EXT—SHOT OF THOR'S SHIP MOVING OFF AND THE X-303 MOVING FORWARD'''

'''INT—X-303 ARMORY'''

[Jonas is loading a P-90.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Again.</blockquote>

[Jonas takes out the cartridge and re-loads it.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
My hands are covered in blisters. They’re not gonna work any faster.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(over the radio) 
Colonel, we’re about to pass through into the time dilation field.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We’re on our way.</blockquote>

[Jonas puts the weapon down. He and O'Neill leave.]

'''EXT—SHOT OF X-303 APPROACHING A PLANET'''

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
A replicator-controlled vessel approaches.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hopefully, they’ll agree with Thor and think this ship is a piece of junk.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They are scanning us.</blockquote>

[A bright white light shines over them.]

'''INT—CORRIDOR'''

[O'Neill and Jonas see the light as well.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(over the radio) 
Sir, we’re being scanned by the Replicator ship. Stand by.</blockquote>

[The light is gone.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Carter, on the radio) 
We still in business?</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Indeed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(to O'Neill, on the radio) 
Yes, sir, it’s moving off. Looks like we’re clear to enter the planet’s atmosphere.</blockquote>

'''EXT—SHOT OF THE X-303 MOVING TOWARD THE PLANET'''

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

[O'Neill and Jonas enter and take seats.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We’re detecting one structure at the designated coordinates.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Just the one?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
There appears to be little topography of any kind.</blockquote>

[The viewscreen shows them approaching the surface.]

'''EXT—SHOT OF THE X-303 APPROACHING THE SURFACE'''

[The sky is cloud-covered, and there are bright flashes of lightning. One structure is faintly visible in the distance.]

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

<blockquote>JONAS 
Two hundred meters.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Throttling down to fifty percent.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
One five zero meters.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The surface appears to be completely smooth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
One hundred meters.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
No sign of Replicators.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Deceleration thrusters are firing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Five zero meters.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The inertial compensators and structural integrity are at maximum. Landing struts are at full extension.</blockquote>

[There is a bright flash.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What was that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Lightning, sir. All systems are still go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Ten meters.</blockquote>

[Lightning hits the ship and something malfunctions, pouring steam onto the bridge. Teal’c goes to fix the problem.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Five meters.</blockquote>

'''EXT—SHOT OF X-303 LANDING'''

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

<blockquote>JONAS 
Touchdown!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Shutting down thrusters.</blockquote>

[Everyone relaxes a little, and O'Neill goes to look out the window.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get a message to Thor. Let him know we touched down. Let’s move out.</blockquote>

'''EXT—SHOT OF THE PLANET SURFACE'''

[SG-1 leaves the ship and heads for the structure, which looks like a giant "X".]

<blockquote>JONAS 
This can’t be the only structure on the entire planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I’d be willing to bet the bugs ate everything else.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Then where are they?</blockquote>

[Carter stops to sweep away some dirt on the ground.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir? You’re not gonna like this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This planet's surface appears to be covered by Replicator blocks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Probably more than one layer, and who knows how thick it is. Maybe miles.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Why would that be?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
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>

<blockquote>JONAS 
What’s keeping them here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Who cares? Watch your step.</blockquote>

[They continue walking toward the structure.]

'''INT—THE STRUCTURE'''

[Inside is dimly-lit. SG-1 shine their flashlights as they go down some steps and into a large room. Carter goes to the time dilation device.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, the original interface is still intact. I might be able to…</blockquote>

[They hear footsteps, and a young man appears.]

<blockquote>FIFTH 
Who are you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Colonel Jack O’Neill, US Air Force, Earth. Who are you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
The others are coming.</blockquote>

[Four others appear, two men and two women. One man steps forward, and O'Neill raises his weapon.]

<blockquote>FIRST 
What do you think you're doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Clocks are running a little fast around here. Thought we’d stop by, wind ‘em. We’ll be on our way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, now, if you do that, we might be forced to take our own action.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
Tell your companion to stop.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter, how much time you need there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
A lot, sir. Maybe a few hours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hours?</blockquote>

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

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
It doesn’t work that way, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
(laughs) 
Ironic, isn’t it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Who are you people? Because, if you haven’t noticed, this entire planet is paved with Replicators.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
We are aware of this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
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>

<blockquote>SECOND 
He doesn’t understand.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You know, he’s standing right here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
We cannot allow you to stop them, I’m afraid.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why not?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
We are Replicators.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah.</blockquote>

[He opens fire, as do Teal'c and Jonas. The bullets take chunks out of the wall, but leave the people undamaged. They stop firing, and dozens of Replicator bugs appear.]

<blockquote>FIRST 
Tell your companion to step away from the device.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter.</blockquote>

[She moves away.]

<blockquote>FIRST 
Your projectile weapons?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, you know, I think we’ll hang onto those for a while.</blockquote>

[The replicator bugs retreat.]

<blockquote>FIRST 
Now there is no need.</blockquote>

[Slowly, the members of SG-1 remove their weapons and put them on the ground.]

<blockquote>FIRST 
Where are my manners? This is something of an occasion, after all, isn’t it? Our first meeting. Welcome.</blockquote>

[He holds out his hand to O'Neill, who ignores it.]

<blockquote>FIRST 
Colonel, if we really intended you harm, do you believe you would be standing there? As I said, welcome.</blockquote>

[O'Neill steps forward to shake hands, but sinks to his knees under the vise-like grip. First holds out his other hand, and the fingers disappear into O'Neill's forehead. O'Neill screams in pain.]

'''INT—O'NEILL'S MIND'''

[O'Neill and First are in the gate room, which is lit only by a deep blue light.]

<blockquote>FIRST 
We are inside your unconscious mind now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You’d think there’d be more lights on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
This place must be important to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I work here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
Your iris code is 906124637.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Wow, that’s… close. Here’s one for you: I’m thinking of an animal…</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
(laughs) 
I never expected that you would amuse me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I never expected you to put your hand in my head.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
Your mind is incredible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well…</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
Such chaos and humor and pain.</blockquote>

[Flashback to the memory of when Charlie shot himself from "Cold Lazarus", Season 1.]

<blockquote>FIRST 
You’re correct to blame yourself. Your son would be alive but for your carelessness.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Don’t do that again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
That will be your punishment each time you attempt to conceal something from me on our journey.</blockquote>

[An event horizon appears without the gate being dialed.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where are we going?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
Every place you have ever been.</blockquote>

[They step through the gate.]

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

[Teal’c wakes up. He looks around, realizes where he is, and switches the lights on. Carter and O'Neill are in their chairs. He shakes O'Neill, who wakes up and holds his hands to his face.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Crap! Holy sh…</blockquote>

[O'Neill reaches over and shakes Carter, waking her.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter! Jonas!</blockquote>

[Jonas finds himself sitting on the floor, and stands, moaning in remembered pain.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Her hand was inside my head. It was like a… it was like a nightmare.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I think we all had a similar experience. I don’t remember much of it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Nor do I.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How long were we out?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Thirty-seven hours, sir. Ship time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Why would they bring us back here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Perhaps we can take advantage of the situation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Detonate the hyperdrive, you mean. An overload would cause a pretty big explosion.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Big enough to be worth it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I honestly don’t know, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Go.</blockquote>

[Carter leaves.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Teal'c) 
Get a message to Thor. Let him know how massively he screwed up.</blockquote>

[O'Neill gets up and leaves the bridge, Jonas following.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Hey, Colonel. Colonel, I don’t think this is going to work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
If Carter says she can do it…</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Yeah, but if explosives and weapons worked, the Asgard would have won their war.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I suppose you want to talk to these bug people.</blockquote>

[They enter an elevator.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Don’t you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Maybe we can reason with them. If we blow this ship, then we lose that option altogether.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
If we blow the ship, I won’t care.</blockquote>

[They exit the elevator and head down a corridor.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
Colonel, I don’t think that you fully appreciate what they’ve become.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Replicators who look like we do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
More than that. Sir, this is a huge leap in their evolution.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Jonas! They are Replicators.</blockquote>

[They enter a room and find Carter and Fifth inside.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter? What’s going on?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Everything’s fine, sir. We were just chatting.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
About what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
He carried us back here, sir. One at a time. So we’d be more comfortable.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Thanks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
It was not difficult.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Apparently sir, we’re invited to dinner.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
At his request.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Whose?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
First.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And you are?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
I was Fifth. The others are merging with our Replicator brethren, but they will return soon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, you wanna let him know we’ve made other plans?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
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>

<blockquote>JONAS 
When are we expected?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
(grins widely) 
When you become hungry.</blockquote>

[He leaves.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
That one’s different.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No kidding. I mean, he comes across as almost human.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, he’s not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, what do we do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Can we leave?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Anyone hungry?</blockquote>

'''EXT—SHOT OF SG-1 APPROACHING THE STRUCTURE'''

'''INT—INSIDE THE STRUCTURE'''

[SG-1 comes down the steps to find a long table set with food. The human Replicators are seated along one side, with First at the opposite end. He rises.]

<blockquote>FIRST 
Colonel O’Neill, Major Carter, Teal’c, Jonas. Welcome.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You’ll forgive us if we don’t shake your hands this time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
Please sit and replenish yourselves. Organic forms store energy so inefficiently.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah. </blockquote>

[He looks at a new woman sitting nearest them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I assume you’re Sixth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SIXTH 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
Our newest addition.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You’re kinda going girl, boy, girl, boy.</blockquote>

[Carter realizes the table is made of Replicator blocks.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, the entire table…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I see that.</blockquote>

[They all sit down, including First.]

<blockquote>JONAS 
We still have some questions that we never got a chance to ask last time we met.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
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>

<blockquote>SECOND 
Our brethren are composed of ungainly blocks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THIRD 
We are composed of millions of cell units, microscopic in comparison, that combine to create this form.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Like nanites, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I hate those things.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
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>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Which is?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, see, we can’t you do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SECOND 
You cannot stop us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
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>

<blockquote>JONAS 
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>

<blockquote>FIRST 
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>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It was our kind that built your creator. You created yourselves in our image.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FOURTH 
No. In the image of Reese.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, now see, there was something wrong with her programming, you all know that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
The flaw in the emulation programming was discovered during my creation. Eat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You know, I think that flaw’s kinda hanging on there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
We attempted to correct the error in the creation of Fifth. But thus far, he has proven to be far too…</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Human?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
Weak.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Maybe Fifth represents what you’re supposed to be.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
No. We won’t make the same mistake again. Now, you have your answers, eat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
To regain your strength.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why do you care?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
So you’ll be strong enough.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
For what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
To go into your minds over and over.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
Could there be any other reason we would keep you alive?</blockquote>

[A Replicator bug drops down onto the table, and others start climbing down the walls.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Crap!</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
It will be far less painful if you don’t resist.</blockquote>

[Fifth stands up.]

<blockquote>FIFTH 
Stop.</blockquote>

[The Replicators move away.]

<blockquote>FIRST 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
You’ve learned everything you need to know.</blockquote>

[First stands, and approaches Fifth.]

<blockquote>FIRST 
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>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
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>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I won’t blame you if you choose me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It’s all right, sir. Last time I didn’t remember a thing.</blockquote>

[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.].

'''INT—FIFTH'S UNCONSCIOUS MIND'''

[Fifth and Carter are standing in a desolate landscape, with heavy cloud cover and lightning flashes like the planet.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don’t know what you’re showing me, but it’s not my unconscious mind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
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>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You’re not like them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
I’m a mistake.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, they are. A terrible mistake. Help us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
I can’t.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You can. Because you’re more like us than you’re like them. The others inherited the same flaw that Reese had. But you…</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
The others would destroy me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Not if you came with us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
You would do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
If you were to come with us, and the time dilation device was reset with the new interface we brought with us…</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
They are my brothers and sisters.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
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>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
What do you want me to do?</blockquote>

'''INT—THE STRUCTURE'''

[Carter wakes up to find herself lying on the floor. She gets up and goes to O'Neill, who is also on the floor.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir? Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, that’s just not right. </blockquote>

[He notices Carter.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Jonas and Teal’c?</blockquote>

[Everyone stands up, including O'Neill.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, there’s a way out of this but we’re gonna have to trust…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Major Carter.</blockquote>

[Fifth is working on the time dilation device. He turns and faces them.]

<blockquote>FIFTH 
I have made the necessary adjustments.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
To what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
The time dilation device. I’m coming with you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I assume this was what you were gonna tell me?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>FIFTH 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Go.</blockquote>

[Carter goes to the device.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You guys head back to the ship. Don’t fire up the engines, but be ready.</blockquote>

[Teal’c and Jonas leave.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
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>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
That is far too long. If I leave, the others will know. They will return before the device activates.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Then we set it off now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
No. We will be trapped with the others.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You can probably make it to the ship at lot faster than we can, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
Oh yes, in a fraction of the time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
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>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So, set the timer for five minutes.</blockquote>

[He signals privately for Carter to make it three minutes.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's cutting it awfully close, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know that, Major.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(to Fifth) 
Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
You won’t leave without me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No. Head for the ship in a little over three minutes.</blockquote>

[She enters the time on the device.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Three, two, one, mark. Timer’s running.</blockquote>

[Carter and O'Neill leave.]

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

[Jonas and Teal’c enter, and begin switching things on.]

'''INT—THE STRUCTURE'''

[Fifth is waiting.]

'''EXT—PLANET SURFACE'''

[O'Neill and Carter run towards the X-303.]

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(over the radio) 
Fire up those engines, now!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Understood, O’Neill.</blockquote>

'''INT—THE STRUCTURE'''

[Fifth turns to leave, and runs into First.]

<blockquote>FIRST 
What have you done?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
Nothing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
Where are the humans?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
They’ve returned to their ship to rest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
They’re trying to escape.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
Even as we speak, they’re preparing to leave.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
But, she promised.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
It’s not too late. I can read your mind. There’s time enough to stop the machine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
No.</blockquote>

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

[O'Neill and Carter enter and take their seats.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How long?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Twenty seconds before the device activates.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get this thing in the air or we’re gonna be here a long time.</blockquote>

[Teal’c hits a button and they lift off.]

'''INT—THE STRUCTURE'''

[Replicator bugs screech as they enter the room where First and Fifth are arguing.]

<blockquote>FIRST 
They’re escaping.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
There’s still two minutes left.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIRST 
No, my son. They made a fool of you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FIFTH 
They won’t leave me. She promised.</blockquote>

[He reaches for the timer and flips it up. There are only three seconds left.]

<blockquote>FIFTH 
(quietly) 
She promised.</blockquote>

[The device activates, and everything appears to freeze as time slows down.]

'''EXT—SCENE OF THE X-303 LEAVING THE PLANET'''

'''INT—X-303 BRIDGE'''

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We are beyond the time dilation field.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Thor sends his congratulations, sir. They’ll rendezvous with us as soon as they’ve determined no Replicator vessels escaped.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Fine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
You do realize what you did?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
The right thing, Jonas.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
You used his humanity against him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
His what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Jonas is right. It’s exactly what we did.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He wasn’t human. Get that through your heads.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You could have fooled me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We all know what would have happened if those things had gotten out. Who’s gonna stop them? We did the right thing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JONAS 
I hope you’re right, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So do I.</blockquote>

'''INT—THE STRUCTURE'''

[We close on Fifth’s frozen face and the rest of the frozen replicators.]

'''FADE OUT'''

==Summary==
A lot of production information, including production notes, concept drawings, behind the scenes stories, and personal interviews with cast are provided in the various dvds of the program. Here is a listing of what the various dvds contain for '''Region 1 dvds (those sold in North America)'''.

NOTE: DVDs are assorted by geographic regions and are not interchangeable. Most Region 2 dvd players will not play a Region 1 dvd and vice versa. Sony/MGM have released the various seasons with different extras on the dvds depending upon the space on the respective disk and language and marketing considerations for various countries. Therefore Region 3 dvds may have different contents than Region 1 dvds, etc.

==Summary==
A lot of production information, including production notes, concept drawings, behind the scenes stories, and personal interviews with cast are provided in the various dvds of the program. Here is a listing of what the various dvds contain for '''Region 1 dvds (those sold in North America)'''.

NOTE: DVDs are assorted by geographic regions and are not interchangeable. Most Region 2 dvd players will not play a Region 1 dvd and vice versa. Sony/MGM have released the various seasons with different extras on the dvds depending upon the space on the respective disk and language and marketing considerations for various countries. Therefore Region 3 dvds may have different contents than Region 1 dvds, etc.

== MGM Official Summary ==

A Russian vehicle is ambushed and its cargo, a Jaffa, is taken. Elsewhere, Carter is also abducted. While investigating, O'Neill is contacted by Col. Maybourne is whom SG-1 are forced to trust in order to save Sam and solve the connection to the Jaffa. The trail leads to deadly experiments conducted by a reclusive billionaire.

== SciFi.com Official Summary ==

Major Samantha Carter disappears. She was last seen leaving her own home, and her car was found parked by a nearby fitness club. Colonel Jack O'Neill is given permission to search for her. Dr. Daniel Jackson and Teal'c volunteer their assistance, but the SGC has no official jurisdiction.

Regardless, O'Neill is convinced that Carter's disappearance is connected to her work at the SGC. He contacts Harry Maybourne for information, and winds up speaking with Colonel Simmons, despite their previous difficulties. O'Neill figures out that an ailing billionaire named Adrian Conrad is involved—the man has acquired a live Goa'uld symbiote and hopes to use the creature to heal himself. Carter was abducted because she was once implanted and survived. Now Conrad wants to use her as a test subject—but if that doesn't kill her his scientists might, so they can cut her open and study how her body reacted to the creature.

'''TEASER'''

'''PREVIOUSLY ON STARGATE SG-1'''

[Flashback to the events of The Curse, including the reunion of Daniel and Sarah Gardner, and her revealing herself as host to Osiris; Grace, wherein Carter is hallucinating her discussion of her love life with Jacob Carter and Jack O'Neill; Full Circle, in which Daniel tells the team about the Lost City of the Ancients being more valuable than anything; and Fallen where Daniel interprets the Ancients' tablet, explaining that the Lost City had been purposefully made lost by the Ancients to prevent it from being found by other people.]

'''EXT—UNIVERSITY BUILDING—DREAM'''

'''INT—UNIVERSITY RESEARCH LAB'''

[Daniel is seated at a table, surrounded by shelves of books and artifacts. Many books and artifacts lay open before him. He has a tape recorder in his hand.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(speaking into the recorder) 
Amulet is likely from the twelfth dynastic period. Inlay and markings suggest the royal house of Amenemhet; possibly a gift from the King's immediate family to commemorate a birth or… coming of age or…</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
It's for luck. </blockquote>

[Daniel turns to see Sarah Gardner suddenly standing in a corner of the room. He stares at her and she continues.]

<blockquote>SARAH 
Royal goldsmiths made them for the King in the hope that the flood waters would rise again in the Nile, granting them a bountiful crop.</blockquote>

[Still stunned, Daniel turns off his recorder.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Good guess.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
Doctor Jordan sent me a picture a few weeks ago; I suppose I had a bit of a head start. </blockquote>

[There's a brief pause while Daniel looks at Sarah. She extends her hand.] 

<blockquote>SARAH 
Oh, I'm Sarah Gardner.</blockquote>

[Daniel shakes her hand and smiles at her. She returns the smile.]

'''INT—DANIEL'S BEDROOM, NIGHT'''

[Daniel is lying in bed with a memory recall device attached to his temple and flashing. Osiris stands in the shadows watching him. She leans forward intently, and we see a memory recall device attached to her temple as well, also flashing.]

'''END TEASER'''

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''INT—RESTAURANT'''

[Carter picks up a cup of coffee at the service counter and sits down at a nearby table to read the paper. A man walks up to her. She looks at him warily.]

<blockquote>PETE 
Is this seat taken?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Looking uncomfortable) Well no, but there's plenty of other empty… </blockquote>

[Pete sits down opposite her.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
…tables.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Yeah, but none of them have single, beautiful women sitting at them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, thank you, but how do you know I'm single?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
There's no ring no your finger.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I could have a boyfriend.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
You're having coffee by yourself at 7:30 in the morning.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You're very observant.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
I'm a cop.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, then, I feel compelled to warn you, most of the guys I have dated recently, have died.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
As in…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
How?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Various circumstances.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
I'll risk it.</blockquote>

[Pete switches seats to the chair next to her. Carter looks annoyed.]

<blockquote>PETE 
How about dinner tonight? My motel room.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Your motel room?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Yeah, I'm in town from Denver on a case. I'll order room service; open a box of wine…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
A box.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Something with a duck on the front.</blockquote>

[Carter smiles and laughs, then pulls his head close and kisses him on the lips.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Stop it, Pete.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
What are you talking about? I'm on a roll here! I— I haven't even shown you my badge yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Aww, and I gotta go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Come on Sam, call in sick. Spend the day with me. We'll go to the zoo.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
There's no zoo in Colorado Springs.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
(sighs) 
Bowling. There must be a bowling alley around here somewhere.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I have to work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Can't the world wait one more day for more deep space telemetry?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Have you seen how much deep space there is out there?</blockquote>

[She kisses him quickly on the lips one more time.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(smiling) 
I'll see you tonight.</blockquote>

[Carter leaves and Pete watches her go, a smitten look on his face.]

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN ENTRANCE'''

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

[Carter and Daniel are walking out of Carter's lab together and proceed
along the corridor.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
It jams the frequencies the Goa'uld use for communication and the remote control devices like the ring transporters. Right now, we're working on making it portable enough to… </blockquote>

[Daniel yawns loudly. Carter looks at him, annoyed.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
At least pretend that it's interesting.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, it was very interesting. Please, go on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Are you tired?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ya think? I had the weirdest dream last night.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
About what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh… working with Sarah back in Chicago. Before the Stargate
program.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How is that weird?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh… things were all mixed up, my hair was different… you know.</blockquote>

[They arrive at an elevator.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well… 
(Carter pushes the button) No offense, Daniel, but it's not like you don't have some issues to work out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Maybe you should talk to someone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I thought I was.</blockquote>

[The elevator doors open, O'Neill is in it.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Surprised) 
Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Yawning and indicating a different direction.) Coffee.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(to Daniel) Talk to you later, okay?</blockquote>

[Daniel walks off. Carter enters the elevator with O'Neill. The doors close and she starts humming the Stargate theme.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Giving her a long look.) 
Humming?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I am?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You are.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sorry.</blockquote>

[They stand awkwardly for a few moments.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's his name?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Now, why would—?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Humming.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Pete.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Pete.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Pete Shanahan, he's a cop.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Speeding again, are we?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
He's from Denver. He's a friend of my brother's.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
A setup?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Pathetic, I know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, it's great.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Really?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Isn't it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, it's not serious or anything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And yet… it is… hum-worthy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir—</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter, it's none of my business. I'm just happy that you're happy about something else then… quarks.</blockquote>

[Carter looks at him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Pleased with himself.) 
Not bad with quarks, huh?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Nods humorously) 
Excellent.</blockquote>

[Another awkward pause.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Bit uncomfortable, isn't it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, a bit.</blockquote>

[The elevator doors open and O'Neill walks out.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Good luck.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Thank you, sir.</blockquote>

[Carter reaches over and pushes a button and the doors close.]

'''INT—DANIEL'S BEDROOM'''

[Daniel lies sleeping in his bed. Osiris moves in from the shadows and sits on the bed. Daniel stirs and Osiris activates her ribbon device over his forehead for a few seconds until he's settled. She then attaches the memory device to his temple again.]

'''INT—UNIVERSITY RESEARCH LAB—DREAM'''

[Daniel is taking notes and reading at his lab table. Sarah walks in carrying some books and sets them down on the table. She straightens and puts on a bright smile.]

<blockquote>SARAH 
Good morning!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(startled) 
Oh… hello. I'm— I'm sorry, I didn't hear you come in. I mean, um… how are you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
Fine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah, you settling in?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
Well except for want of a decent cup of tea, I'm in heaven.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(distracted by his reading) That's… good to hear.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
You know, I must have read everything you've ever published.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(looks up from his book) Everything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(a bit stunned) What a waste of time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
Please, your theories on the Hyksos ruling dynasty are truly groundbreaking, if a little audacious. I found them quite inspiring. In fact, I referenced them in my doctoral thesis at Cambridge.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(eyes wide) 
You must have failed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
(chuckles) 
I just hope that I can live up to such talented company.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, I'm sure if you're here, then you have— you are.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
(coyly) 
Stop, the flattery is overwhelming.</blockquote>

[Daniel looks at Sarah a little bemusedly, perhaps intrigued.]

<blockquote>SARAH 
(awkwardly) 
I— I should let you continue.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I am gonna continue.</blockquote>

[Sarah stands and starts to move away. Daniel looks at her, then to his notes, uncertainly, then…]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You know, I know this good place for coffee. No, I'm sure they serve tea.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
I'd like that, Dr. Jackson.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(smiling) 
Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
(returning the smile) 
Daniel. 
(looking at him intently) 
You know, I can't tell you how much I have looked forward to being here with you. Being able to pick your brain and…</blockquote>

'''INT—DANIEL'S BEDROOM, NIGHT'''

[Osiris removes the recall device from Daniel's head and using the ribbon device, teleports away. Daniel wakes up almost instantly afterwards, sitting bolt upright and breathing heavily.]

'''EXT—PARK IN COLORADO SPRINGS, DAY'''

[Carter and Pete are walking along a path.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
That was great.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Yeah, it was okay. I mean, the company was fine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh, come on. How can you not like 'Singing In The Rain?'</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
I guess I've always been more of a Fred Astaire fan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's a classic.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Whoa. Whoa there, lady. I believe the term classic is reserved for the likes of The French Connection, Dirty Harry, Serpico.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Cop movies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
What's your point?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(giggling) This was romantic.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Watching a man dance around in the rain with an umbrella?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Just because there were no guns or car chases.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Or nudity.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, well your chances of that are slim to none now, buddy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Have I ever told you what a good dancer I am?</blockquote>

[Carter laughs.]

'''EXT—CARTER'S HOME, DAY'''

[Carter and Pete arrive back at her house holding hands.]

<blockquote>PETE 
You know, my case down here wraps up tomorrow.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Does that mean you're heading back to Denver?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Actually, I called my captain, and said 'I don't care if crime is running rampant up there. I met this woman. This amazing person… and we've got this thing going on.'</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And what did he say?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
'Get your ass back here or you're fired.'</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(laughs) 
Too bad.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
I'm lying. I told him I'm taking two weeks vacation. Truth is… Colorado Springs is very… underrated.</blockquote>

[The pair of them kiss passionately.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(pushing him off gently) 
Pete…</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
And it was going so well.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
But?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's getting late.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
It's seven o'clock.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I have to get up really early.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
To go to work?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Right…</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Which involves long, arduous hours of you looking into a telescope.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(uncomfortably) 
Right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Sam, have I mentioned I'm a cop? I interrogate people for a living.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Are you saying you don't believe me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Is this all going too fast for you? Because I can back off… Give you 5 or 10 minutes.</blockquote>

[Carter laughs. Pete kisses her tenderly on the cheek.]

<blockquote>PETE 
I'll call you.</blockquote>

[He stares at her, not moving.]

<blockquote>PETE 
Have I left yet?</blockquote>

[She laughs again.]

<blockquote>PETE 
I can't feel my legs.</blockquote>

[Carter laughs again. He gives her another smile, touches her cheek and walks away, leaving Carter staring after him.]

'''INT—UNIVERSITY RESEARCH LAB, DAY—DREAM'''

[Daniel is working at his table, studying very intently. Sarah comes in and sits on the table with two cups of coffee. She sets one down for him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(reaching for the coffee and not looking up from his work) 
Thank you.</blockquote>

[Sarah pulls the cup away from him and he looks up at her.]

<blockquote>SARAH 
A little human contact first, if you please.</blockquote>

[Daniel and Sarah lean in for a kiss on the lips.]

<blockquote>SARAH 
Was that so hard?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(smiling satisfactorily) 
Mmm… I'll live.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
You've been here all night, haven't you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(looks at his watch) What, is it morning already?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
(ignoring the question, smiling) 
I've got something for you.</blockquote>

[Sarah opens up something wrapped in cloth; it appears to be the Ancients' tablet.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(sets down his coffee and picks up the artifact) 
Where'd you get this?</blockquote>

[Daniel studies it, turning it over as Sarah explains.]

<blockquote>SARAH 
It was found during an expedition in Morocco last month. An associate of mine sent it to me for analysis. No one's quite sure what to make of it. I took the liberty of running a carbon dating.</blockquote>

[Daniel looks at her.]

<blockquote>SARAH 
It's over ten thousand years old.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's impossible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
The lack of writing in the pyramids themselves, the inconclusive dating on several artifacts found at the Henderson dig—</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Are you saying that this proves once and for all that there existed a language on Earth that predates all hieroglyphics?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
(smiles) 
I thought you might enjoy the challenge.</blockquote>

[Daniel slowly runs his hand over the writing on the tablet. Sarah watches him.]

<blockquote>SARAH 
Daniel…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I recognize this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
How could you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, believe it or not, Medieval Latin is a derivative. We can use it as a reference point.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
Daniel, how could you possibly know that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(pauses, thinking) 
I don't know… I just do.</blockquote>

[Daniel picks up a book and begins to research. Sarah looks on and smiles approvingly.]

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN ENTRANCE'''

'''INT—SGC MESS'''

[Daniel has his head resting in folded arms on the table. Teal'c and Carter join him at the same table. Carter rubs his back.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Sleepily into his arms) 
This makes no sense.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Maybe you should eat something.</blockquote>

[Daniel lifts his head and looks at Carter]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Did I mention in the dream, the table was written in Ancient, and in the dream, I could read Ancient?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, that's not so odd considering you can also do that when you're awake.</blockquote>

[Daniel narrows his eyes at her.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Perhaps you are attempting to reveal something to yourself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Like…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Like something from when you were ascended.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Such as you prior vision of Bra'tac and Rya'c in danger.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The tablet sounds a lot like the one you found when you were on Abydos.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
That was to lead to the Lost City of the Ancients.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
But didn't. You think that somehow I know the location of the Lost City, and I just don't remember?</blockquote>

[Carter looks at Teal'c.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If you have the dream again, perhaps you should translate the tablet.</blockquote>

[Daniel looks at Teal'c, then looks at Carter. Carter nods in agreement and Daniel looks back at Teal'c, rolls his eyes, and drops his head onto his arms again.]

'''INT—UNIVERSITY RESEARCH LAB, NIGHT—DREAM'''

[Daniel sets a stack of books on the table and notices Sarah is sitting at a table, dressed seductively and holding a glass of wine. The table is set with a tablecloth, lit candles, and a bottle of wine.]

<blockquote>SARAH 
I thought you might need a break.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Whoa.</blockquote>

[He walks over to her as she pours a glass for him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This is really nice. I mean, uh… I don't really deserve you, do I?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
(smiles and hands him the glass) 
No… Hungry?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Actually, I can't remember the last time I ate.</blockquote>

[He sits down.]

<blockquote>SARAH 
(unfolds a napkin) 
How's it going?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, I'm so close. I think I found a basic structure to the whole thing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
Really?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(takes his napkin) 
Yeah, it's about guidance. Now, at first, I thought that meant some sort of uh… spiritual guidance, but I was wrong about that. Here.</blockquote>

[Daniel rises up and walks to the research table, retrieving the tablet. He goes back to sit down and the table with Sarah.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(showing to her) 
Look. Something about a starting point, a place of origin. Steps of a great journey leading to…</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
What? Leading to what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
A city. A place of great power. (Sarah looks at him intently.) It's a map, telling us how to find a city where an ancient race of humans once lived.</blockquote>

[Sarah listens, pleased.]

'''EXT—CARTER'S HOME, DAY'''

[Carter pulls up outside her house in her Volvo. She exits her car, takes her mail from the mailbox, and walks up walkway to find a single rose on the steps, along with a note. The note reads, 'Dinner at eight, surprise to follow. Dress up.' Carter smiles.]

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN ENTRANCE'''

'''INT—SGC WEIGHT ROOM'''

[Daniel and Teal'c are working out with weights. Daniel is doing arm curls with hand weights and Teal'c is bench-pressing.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
See, I know what the tablet is supposed to say, I just can't seem to finish translating it.</blockquote>

[Teal'c sets the barbell in its stand and sits up.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Perhaps the location of the Lost City was not the answer you were searching for in your mind after all. Since I now require sleep, I have developed an interest in the concept of dreams. There is much research to study on the matter.</blockquote>

[Daniel sets his weights down.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay, Sigmund. 
(claps his hands once) 
What are my dreams about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Since your friend Sarah was taken as a host by Osiris, you have been unable to save her. Perhaps that is the focus of your subconscious desires.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(thinking) 
You think something I knew when I was ascended could help?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Most often dreams are merely the mind's way of dealing with desires that cannot be fulfilled.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh. So basically, I'm destined to never going to get a good night's sleep ever again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Knowing your past experiences, Daniel Jackson, I do not know how you have slept well before now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Thank you Teal'c. This conversation has been disturbing on many levels.</blockquote>

[Daniel puts on his glasses and leaves Teal'c sitting on the weight bench.]

'''EXT—CARTER'S HOUSE, NIGHT'''

[Pete walks up the path to Carter's door, flowers in hand. He knocks and Carter answers, dressed very sexily.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Up enough?</blockquote>

[Pete stares at Carter, enraptured.]

<blockquote>PETE 
I… um… (distracted) 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(smiling) 
I'll take that as a 'yes'.</blockquote>

[She looks at the flowers.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Are those for me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Yeah. 
(she takes them) 
It's the other eleven. The one I left before makes a dozen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I get it. They're beautiful. Thank you.</blockquote>

[Pete offers his arm, and the two of them walk towards Pete's car.]

'''INT—BALLROOM, COLORADO SPRINGS'''

[Big band music is playing. Carter's eyes are closed as Pete leads her in.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
(chuckling) 
No, would you stop?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How about now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
No… Okay, now.</blockquote>

[Carter opens her eyes and sees the dance floor, and gasps in awe. There is a large crowd of elderly people socializing and dancing. A live band is playing on stage with a huge big banner above saying 'Happy 50th Anniversary Harry and Marg'.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh!</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Whadda ya think?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(surprised delight) 
I think we're gonna get noticed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Come on.</blockquote>

[Holding hands, they entwine their fingers and walk in and begin to
slow dance together.]

'''INT—BALLROOM, LATER'''

[Later on in the evening, there are only a few people still there. Slow music is still playing. Pictures of other couples are being taken. Pete and Carter are still dancing ang gazing into each other's eyes.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
This is great.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
It's nice to know that people still stay together no matter what, isn't it?</blockquote>

[Carter nods and smiles, running her hand up Pete's neck. The embrace, swaying to the music.]

'''INT—UNIVERSITY RESEARCH LAB, DAY—DREAM'''

[Daniel is standing over his table reading from a book and holding the tablet. Frustrated he gently tosses the artifact onto the table and straightens up.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I can't do this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
And what's the matter?</blockquote>

[She moves to the table next to him to look at his work.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm just going in circles. I can't find any references that relate to this passage.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
Doorways?</blockquote>

[She holds up the tablet.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(looks at her) 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
(reading from it) 
'The origin of doorways.'</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(looking at the tablet) 
How do you know that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
(smiling) 
It makes sense, doesn't it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah, but, how do you know that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
Daniel, it's all there. You just need to relax.</blockquote>

[She puts the tablet down and leans in to kiss him. They kiss then Daniel suddenly pulls back.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, no.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We're supposed to have dinner tonight.</blockquote>

[Sarah smiles shyly, looks at the floor for a second.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Two months right? I'm so sorry, I totally forgot. Why didn't you remind me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
(smiles reassuringly) 
It's all right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(looking at his watch) 
It's too late now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
I understand. If it was that important to me, I would have said something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You don't mind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
Of course not.</blockquote>

[Daniel pauses, his eyes focuses elsewhere.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You're supposed to leave.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
(looking up from the tablet to Daniel) 
What are you talking about? I'm not going anywhere. Daniel, your research is gonna change the world. You're a brilliant mind. I don't want to stand in the way of that. I want to be part of it. I am, however, going to order us pizza.</blockquote>

[She leans in and kisses him again, then pulls back and smiles.]

<blockquote>SARAH 
Get back to work.</blockquote>

[She walks away, leaving Daniel looking troubled.]

'''EXT—CARTER'S HOUSE, NIGHT'''

[Carter and Pete are seated in Pete's car. Carter looks a bit nervous.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, you wanna come in?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
(teasing) 
I don't know. You see, the inside of your house, that's a pretty big step.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Suit yourself.</blockquote>

[She opens the door of the car and he stops her.]

<blockquote>PETE 
(still teasing) 
I'm just saying that right now, you're pretty much perfect. What if it turns out you're really messy or… worse? You're a neat freak weirdo with labeled drawers and an alphabetized bookshelf.</blockquote>

[She smiles coyly at him and gets out of the car.]

<blockquote>PETE 
(nervously) 
Okay, I'm coming.</blockquote>

'''INT—CARTER'S HOUSE'''

[Carter pushes Pete up against the wall and starts kissing him passionately. While kissing, she pulled on his tie, then he moves her against the opposite wall and starts kissing her neck and shoulder. After a few moments, he looks at her intently.]

<blockquote>PETE 
Wow!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(smiling and breathing heavily) 
Just don't look at the bookshelves.</blockquote>

[More passionate kissing.]

'''INT—CARTER'S BEDROOM, MORNING'''

[Carter and Pete are in bed. Pete is gently stroking her bare arm. Carter is staring into his eyes.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, why did you become a cop?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
I watched too much TV as a kid. Adam-12, Starsky and Hutch, Barney Miller.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Barney Miller?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
It's my favorite show. Those guys never shot anybody, never beat anybody up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
What did you think? Every cop out there has an inspirational story? It's just a job Sam.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't think so. Not for you. And Mark told me you had a story.</blockquote>

[They both laugh.]

<blockquote>PETE 
Bastard. Never date your buddy's sister.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
He didn't tell me what it was.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
It's no big deal. I had a bit of a rough time when I was growing up. Truth is… I probably would have ended up in jail if it wasn't for this one particular cop who took an interest. He really made a difference in my life. I admired that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's an honorable job.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Well, my ex-wife didn't think so. Did you ever see the episode where Barney comes home and all his stuff is on the front lawn with the divorce papers stapled on top?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
I didn't blame her. I mean the hours suck and you never know if… I didn't have a choice. It's who I am.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I can understand that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Really? Deep Space Telemetry is who you are.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I wish I could tell you more.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
You don't trust me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm not allowed.</blockquote>

[Pete turns over, frustrated.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wh—?</blockquote>

[Pete gets out of bed and starts getting dressed.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Where you going?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
I gotta drive back to Denver today and file my report.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Pete, aside from getting into huge trouble myself, I could be putting you in danger.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Oh, now you're trying to tell me that joke about your boyfriends all ending up dead is true?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Pete, please.</blockquote>

[Pete moves over to sit on the bed and looks at Carter.]

<blockquote>PETE 
The problem is, I feel like I've just scratched the surface with you, Sam. How can we have a future if you won't share your life with me?</blockquote>

[He kisses her cheek and leaves.]

'''EXT—CARTER'S HOUSE, DAY'''

[Pete walks to the car, puts on a shoe and gets in. Pausing to think for a few moments, he dials a number on his cellular phone.]

<blockquote>FBI OPERATOR VOICE 
Federal Bureau of Investigation. How may I direct your call?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Special Agent Farrity, please.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FBI OPERATOR VOICE 
I'll transfer you now. Please hold.</blockquote>

'''INT—FBI OFFICE, FARRITY'S OFFICE'''

[Agent Farrity sits down at his desk as his phone rings.]

<blockquote>FARRITY 
Farrity.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
(over the phone) 
Hey Dan, it's Pete.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FARRITY 
Hey, Shandy! What's up, buddy?</blockquote>

'''EXT—CARTER'S HOUSE, PETE'S CAR'''

<blockquote>PETE 
I'm in Colorado Springs on a case right now and I need a favor, man. Can you do a background check on someone for me? Top down, global agency search, the works?</blockquote>

'''INT—FBI OFFICE, FARRITY'S OFFICE'''

<blockquote>FARRITY 
Sure thing, who is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
An Air Force Major. Samantha Carter.</blockquote>

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN ENTRANCE, NIGHT'''

'''INT—SGC, DANIEL'S LAB'''

[Daniel, Teal'c and Carter are all seated at his lab table. Daniel has his elbow propped up, face cupped in his hand.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The only thing I don't have is a gate address. There are still a few passages I haven't been able to translate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Do you think you can?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I don't know. It's like… I- I'm not in control. Like I'm just along for the ride… watching the whole thing unfold. The strange thing is, none of it's right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Please elaborate, Daniel Jackson.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I was an idiot. Sarah was in love with me, and I guess I had feelings for her, too, but my obsession with my research destroyed our relationship. She finally broke it off with me when I worked through our anniversary. (shakes his head) The Sarah I'm dreaming about now is like, totally different. It's like she cares about my work as much as I do. Like— like she wants me to find the Lost City as much as I do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sounds like a normal male fantasy to me.</blockquote>

[Daniel gives Carter a withering look.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Did you not say that Sarah introduced the tablet to you during one of the dreams.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
And that you feel that you have no control of the dreams.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Teal'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The Goa'uld possess the technology to explore one's memory.</blockquote>

[Carter glances from Teal'c to Daniel. Daniel looks disconcerted.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[SG-1 including O'Neill are seated at the conference table with General Hammond.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You're suggesting that Osiris is here on Earth manipulating Dr. Jackson's dreams?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We think it's possible, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(smirking) Kinky!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
She's looking for the location of the Lost City in my subconscious. I'm sure of it now. She's using the implanted image of an ancient tablet to help me figure it out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Osiris can access Sarah's memories and use them to more easily gain Daniel Jackson's trust.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, how's she doing it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We're speculating that she's sneaking into Daniel's house at night and using some sort of modified memory device.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Anubis once probed Thor's mind and in doing so they would have gained access to certain Asgard beaming technology.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That would certainly allow her to come and go undetected.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Why go to all that trouble? Why not just snatch up Doctor Jackson and use a mind probe on him, the way they did with Thor?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's possible Anubis' mind probe won't work on the subconscious.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It might have something to do with how Oma erased my memories of when I was ascended.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This may be the best way to get Daniel Jackson to unknowingly help them learn what they wish to know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So…what do we do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The Goa'uld are scavengers of alien technology. They would most likely interface any Asgard system with their own command device.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We're hoping the jamming device we've been working on, could prevent Osiris from using the beam technology to escape Daniel's room.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You want to set up a trap.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, but we don't want to spring it until after she's helped me remember the location of the Lost City.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Looks from Hammond to Daniel, alarmed) 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Look, no one wants to save Sarah more than I do, but I mean, I could know. It could be there, somewhere in my subconscious. We have to let her think that she's still operating without our knowledge. At least until I have the chance to try to finish this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(looks intently at Daniel) 
And how are we supposed to know when you know if it's all happening in your head while you're sleeping?</blockquote>

[Pregnant pause while O'Neill's question is considered.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(awkwardly) 
I don't know?</blockquote>

[O'Neill stares disapprovingly at Daniel.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You'd better figure it out. We can't risk letting Osiris escape with that kind of information.</blockquote>

[Daniel stares at the table bemusedly.]

'''INT—PETE'S CAR'''

[Pete is in his car, his cell phone is ringing.]

<blockquote>PETE 
Shanahan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FARRITY 
Hey, buddy. It's me. I got what you wanted.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Just give me the highlights.</blockquote>

'''INT—FBI, AGENT FARRITY'S OFFICE'''

<blockquote>FARRITY 
Well, there's a lot of backstop ID.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Works for the Air Force. Does deep space telemetry for NORAD, I know. Is that all you found?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FARRITY 
Actually, it's what didn't turn up that say's the most. The backstop dead-ends.</blockquote>

'''INT—PETE'S CAR'''

<blockquote>PETE 
She's been scrubbed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FARRITY 
Yep. Someone went in the system and wiped out every possible trace of her and left only what they want others to see. She's probably connected with some top level stuff.</blockquote>

'''INT—PETE'S CAR'''

<blockquote>PETE 
Like?</blockquote>

'''INT—FBI, AGENT FARRITY'S OFFICE'''

<blockquote>FARRITY 
Black ops, covert units. Things the government denies all knowledge of, you know what I'm saying? Look Pete, if you ask me, this Major Carter's connected. You might wanna back off from this one. Okay, buddy? It's way out of your league.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Hey! It's not like I'm dating her or anything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FARRITY 
(smiles knowingly) 
Right.</blockquote>

[Farrity hangs up.]

'''INT—PETE'S CAR'''

[Pete hangs up, thinking.]

'''EXT—CARTER'S HOUSE, NEXT DAY'''

[Carter exits her house. Pete is waiting in his car outside her house, parked up the street. Carter gets in her car and drives away. Pete starts his and follows.]

'''INT—SGC, CARTER'S LAB'''

[Carter is on the phone. It's ringing.]

<blockquote>PETE'S ANSWERING MACHINE 
Hello—</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hi, it's me—</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE'S ANSWERING MACHINE 
…this is Pete. I'm probably chasing a bad guy. Leave a message.</blockquote>

[She hangs up just as the answering machine recorder beeps. O'Neill enters the lab.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(looking at the equipment) So what do we got?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh, Daniel's at his house with the team, setting up video surveillance.</blockquote>

[O'Neill examines a box of Goa'uld tranquilizer darts.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(brightly) 
Teal'c's picking out his doughnuts. He loves a good stakeout.</blockquote>

[She smiles and nods.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Jamming device has been installed in the surveillance van. It should prevent Osiris from beaming herself out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(pulling out a dart and holding it up) 
We're taking her down with these?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
She likely has a personal shield, but we know that a tranquilizer dart'll get through. At that point we hope that the Tok'ra can safely remove the symbiote and save Sarah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(putting the dart back) 
What about this whole Lost City deal?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We watch and see. Once in his room, Osiris won't be able to leave. It's just a question of us getting to her before she realizes that she's been made.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Back up?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Local authorities have been notified, but we don't wanna do anything to alert Osiris.</blockquote>

[Carter closes the equipment case.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How's Pete?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(uncertain) 
You know how it is. Usually you don't let it bother you because you know that they couldn't cope with the truth anyway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(nods) 
Usually.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(shrugging) 
I think he could have.</blockquote>

'''EXT—DANIEL'S HOUSE, NIGHT'''

[The surveillance van is parked along the street across from Daniel's house.]

'''INT—SURVEILLANCE VAN'''

[O'Neill is viewing the surveillance monitors, while Carter and Teal'c are monitoring computer readings. All are wearing earpieces and microphones. O'Neill picks up the two-way radio, then shifts his microphone mouthpiece closer.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, Daniel. Daniel! You sleeping yet?</blockquote>

[The monitor shows Daniel lying on his bed.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, Jack. I'm fast asleep.</blockquote>

[O'Neill's eyes shift for a second to his team in the van, a bit self-consciously, then back to Daniel's image on the monitor. Carter and Teal'c smile at each other knowingly.]

'''EXT—DANIEL'S HOUSE, PETE'S CAR'''

[Pete is watching the surveillance van through binoculars.]

'''INT—SURVEILLANCE VAN'''

[The team is still monitoring Daniel's house. Teal'c pulls out his box of doughnuts and offers them to O'Neill and Carter. Carter shakes her head.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What do you got there? </blockquote>

[Looks in the box]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, I'll pass.</blockquote>

[Teal'c looks disappointed. O'Neill goes back to looking at the screen. Cut to the monitor with Daniel lying asleep on his bed. Suddenly the room is aglow as Osiris beams in. O'Neill sees this.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Here we go.</blockquote>

[O'Neill watches as Osiris sits on Daniel's bed.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Activating frequency jamming.</blockquote>

[She hits a few switches. Seeing the jamming is working, O'Neill bolts out of his chair.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Let's do it.</blockquote>

[Teal'c is fast on his heels as they exit the van. Carter moves over to the video monitor.]

'''EXT—DANIEL'S HOUSE, PETE'S CAR'''

[Pete watches O'Neill and Teal'c run across the street to the house. He sees one of them carrying a rifle. He lowers his binoculars, curious.]

'''INT—SURVEILLANCE VAN'''

[Carter continues to watch the video surveillance monitor, seeing O'Neill and Teal'c stealthily moving through Daniel's house. She then looks at Daniel's monitor to check on him.]

'''EXT—DANIEL'S HOUSE, PETE'S CAR'''

[Pete still watches from his car as night transitions to morning.]

'''INT—SURVEILLANCE VAN'''

[The surveillance monitor shows O'Neill's position in Daniel's house. O'Neill moves the microphone to his mouth.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(whispering) 
Carter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
She's still there, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How long do we wait?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't know. Daniel must be getting close.</blockquote>

[Daniel's monitor shows him in REM sleep, while Osiris sits by the side of the bed watching.]

'''INT—UNIVERSITY RESEARCH LAB—DREAM'''

[Daniel is looking at the tablet through a magnifying glass. Frustrated, he sets them both down forcefully and sits back in his chair, sighing heavily. Sarah comes up behind him and puts her arms around him.]

<blockquote>SARAH 
Progress?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Not really. I'm still convinced these symbols represent the location of the city.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
Like an address?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah. Yeah, there's seven of them. They don't translate into anything specific.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
You're so close.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, I am not!</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
Don't say that, Daniel.</blockquote>

[She rises up and walks away to sit across from him, concerned.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They mean nothing to me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
You've worked too hard to give up now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I don't know. (pointedly)..I never knew.</blockquote>

[Sarah stares at him grimly.]

'''INT—DANIEL'S BEDROOM'''

[Daniel startles himself awake and sees Osiris standing over him, a murderous look on her face.]

<blockquote>OSIRIS 
How unfortunate for you.</blockquote>

[She raises up the ribbon device and activates it.]

'''INT—SURVEILLANCE VAN'''

[On the monitor, Carter sees that Osiris is attacking Daniel.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Move in! Move in!</blockquote>

[Carter watches O'Neill move from his position.]

'''INT—DANIEL'S BEDROOM'''

[O'Neill gets into position in the door and takes aim with the rifle. Osiris sees him and he gets off a shot, but she uses her hand device and flings O'Neill against the corridor wall.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Aah!</blockquote>

[He slumps to the floor in the hallway, and Osiris hits her hand device in an attempt to beam out. It doesn't work. She tries again, but can't.]

'''INT—SURVEILLANCE VAN'''

[Carter sees that Osiris is attempting to leave the house from the monitor. The surveillance camera on Teal'c shows him moving into position to confront Osiris.]

'''INT—DANIEL'S HOUSE'''

[Teal'c turns a corner and aims him weapon. Osiris sees him and fires what appears to be an Ashrak hand weapon. She misses and hits vase instead. With Teal'c pinned down, Osiris moves for an exit.]

'''INT—SURVEILLANCE VAN'''

[Carter sees Osiris getting away and grabs her weapon.]

'''EXT—NEAR SURVEILLANCE VAN'''

[Carter jumps out of the van and heads Daniel's house, but Pete is right behind her.]

<blockquote>PETE 
Sam.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(shocked) 
Pete, what are you—</blockquote>

[A shot from Osiris' weapon hits the front of the van. Both dive for cover.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Get down!</blockquote>

[Osiris takes aim. Moving in, she fires again at the van. Pete is behind the van and Carter is tucked behind the back of the car in front of the van. Carter activates the zat as Osiris fires again. Carter shoots the zat, but Osiris is using her personal shield. Pete sees this and is stunned.]

<blockquote>PETE 
Holy—</blockquote>

[Another shot at the van causes him to duck.]

'''INT—DANIEL'S BEDROOM'''

[Teal'c stops to check on O'Neill but he waves Teal'c in to check on Daniel. Daniel is sitting up and trying to remove the memory device as Teal'c gets to him. Daniel manages to remove the device.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(in pain) 
Aah!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Will you be all right, Daniel Jackson?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah. Go, go, go.</blockquote>

[Reluctantly, Teal'c moves away as Daniel pants in obvious pain.]

'''EXT—NEAR SURVEILLANCE VAN'''

[Pete leaps up from his position and fires his automatic at Osiris. The personal shield glows with each hit and Pete pauses for a moment, then fires repeatedly again before ducking another shot at the van from Osiris.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's no use, Pete!</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Yeah, why is that?</blockquote>

[Meanwhile, Osiris spies the van's gas tank. Her eyes glow as an idea occurs to her. Pete sees her eyes and is alarmed.]

<blockquote>PETE 
Now, that is not normal.</blockquote>

[Osiris takes aim and Carter sees her intention. She leaps from her position.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Look out!</blockquote>

[She and Pete both run away from the van as Osiris fires at it. The van explodes and the blast hurls Carter and Pete to the ground. Pete shields Carter from the blast. At the house, Osiris smiles triumphantly, but the sound of a dart being shot is heard and Osiris is hit.]

<blockquote>OSIRIS 
Uhh!</blockquote>

[She turns around and sees O'Neill lowering his weapon, having hit his target. Osiris pulls the dart from her body and stares at it then back at O'Neill. Teal'c raises his weapon, then Osiris' knees buckle and she collapses. O'Neill moves toward her and kneels down to check.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Clear!</blockquote>

[On the other side of the street, Pete rolls away and Carter turns over and looks at him.]

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

<blockquote>PETE 
I'm okay. Are you okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah.</blockquote>

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

[He sinks slowly to the ground again and Carter sees he's not okay. She sits up and puts her had on his belly.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(alarmed) 
Oh, God, Pete, you've been hit.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Have I?</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks over at Pete and Carter.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's Pete. He needs an ambulance! 
(to Pete) 
Just hang in there, okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
(breathing heavily) 
Sam? What just happened?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I promise, if you make it through this, I will explain everything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Deal.</blockquote>

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN ENTRANCE'''

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY—SARAH'S BED'''

[Sarah lies sleeping in a hospital bed. Daniel is sitting on the bed by her side as she comes to with a start.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(reassuringly) 
It's all right. You're safe.</blockquote>

[He reaches out to touch her.]

<blockquote>SARAH 
(sitting up) 
Daniel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm here. 
(she sits up) 
It's all over. 
(Sarah embraces Daniel) 
You're free.</blockquote>

[Daniel holds her.]

<blockquote>SARAH 
(crying) 
I'm so sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Shhh… It's not your fault.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARAH 
I couldn't stop it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We're gonna get you through this.</blockquote>

[Daniel holds her and strokes her back. She looks haunted.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY—PETE'S ROOM'''

[Carter enters. She's holding a gift.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hey, they treating you okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Yeah. Who would have thought there's a hospital under Cheyenne Mountain?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
One of the best anywhere.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
This place is unbelievable.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You've no idea.</blockquote>

[She hands him the gift—a picture of them dancing.]

<blockquote>PETE 
Thanks.</blockquote>

[She kisses him.]

<blockquote>PETE 
I believe I lived up to my end of the bargain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What I'm about to tell you is classified under section 11-C-9 of the National Security Act.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
Chicks with laser beam rings and glowing eyes are classified under 11-C-9.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(gently admonishing) 
Let me talk, will you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
(placatingly) 
Okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You're currently in a top secret military facility known as Stargate Command. In 1928, in Giza, Egypt, archaeologists uncovered an ancient device capable of instantaneous transportation to other planets by means of a sub-space wormhole.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
(smiling) 
I knew it! This is way better than a box of wine with a duck on the front.</blockquote>

[He laughs and waves her off.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm not kidding.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PETE 
(sees she's serious) 
Sorry… Other planets. Wormholes. 
(he smiles) 
Continue.</blockquote>

[Carter returns his smile.]

== SciFi.com Official Summary ==

Major Carter has been set up with her brother Mark's friend Pete Shanahan, a cop from Denver who thinks Carter works for the Air Force in a simple research capacity. Their relationship has really started to heat up, judging from their romantic role-playing at a coffee bar this morning and the eye-opening sun dress she has on. Meanwhile, Dr. Daniel Jackson has been visited in his dreams by his former lover, Sarah Gardner, who was possessed by the Goa'uld Osiris in "The Curse."

As Pete, with cop instincts, probes Carter to learn what she really does, Osiris uses a Goa'uld mind link to probe Daniel's subconscious as he sleeps. Daniel dreams about deciphering the tablet that is supposed to lead to the lost city of the Ancients, where the most powerful weaponry in the universe may lie. In these extremely vivid dreams, Osiris as Sarah is coaxing and inspiring Daniel in his office back at the University of Chicago archaeology department, where they met—she as a Cambridge-educated research assistant, he as a professor.

Pete and Carter's relationship reaches a new level, and they sleep together. Pete opens up to her, revealing he's divorced and relating his love of the classic police sitcom Barney Miller. But Carter can't expose Pete to the top-secret classified truth about what she does—or to the danger of it that she alludes to. Pete takes it as a rejection and calls an FBI buddy, Farrity, to do a background check. Pete's pal tells him that the background check turned out so squeaky clean, it can mean only one thing—Samantha is into something top-secret and he shouldn't ask too many questions.

Daniel, increasingly troubled and exhausted by his dreams, finally confides in Teal'c and Carter, and the three try to understand why Sarah—whom, in reality, Daniel pushed away by his long hours working—is now in his dreams, sharing his obsession to find the Lost City. Teal'c has the answer: The Goa'uld possess the technology to probe one's memories. In a meeting with General Hammond and Colonel O'Neill, the trio theorizes that Osiris is beaming undetected into Daniel's home and using a memory probe—similar to one that fellow system lord Anubis had once used on SG-1's Asgard ally Thor. Why not just snatch Daniel and probe his mind? Perhaps to keep SG-1 from being aware of her plan. Moreover, Anubis' device might probe only conscious memory and not the subconscious, and if Daniel has any memory of the location of the Lost City before parts of his memory were wiped by the ascended Ancient Oma, his sleeping mind is where any helpful information might be.

General Hammond approves a plan to stake out Daniel while he's sleeping. Once Osiris has helped Daniel remember the location of the Lost City, Carter will employ a jamming device that will prevent Osiris from beaming out. Osiris will then be tranquilized with a dart—the only thing that will penetrate her personal force field. Once she's captured and unconscious, the Tok'ra can separate the symbiote from its host and save Sarah.

O'Neill, Teal'c and Carter watch Daniel's house from a parked surveillance van, watching Daniel via video. Osiris beams in, but SG-1 can't move in until they get some kind of signal from Daniel that he's remembered the location of the Lost City. Meanwhile, Pete's concern for Carter, coupled with his curiosity, has led him to follow her. He is watching her watching Daniel.

In his dream, Daniel realizes he never knew the Lost City's location. He awakens to find Osiris standing over him about to kill him since he does not possess what she needs. O'Neill and Teal'c move in, having jammed her beaming technology. Osiris knocks O'Neill out with a power blast. Teal'c evades her and checks on Daniel while Osiris leaves the house. Carter exits the van armed with a zat to distract Osiris, when Pete suddenly appears. Osiris blows up the surveillance van and is about to kill Carter and Pete when O'Neill knocks out Osiris with the tranquilizer dart.

It's over. But Pete has been hit. Carter promises that if he makes it through this, she'll tell him everything. At Cheyenne Mountain's infirmary, Sarah, now separated from Osiris, reunites with Daniel. Pete recovers…and Carter, explaining that what she's about to say is classified, keeps her promise.

Part 2 of Season Nine's two-part cliffhanger. (Written by Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie)

"Also started beating out Camelot." — Joseph Mallozzi in his GateWorld Blog, August 23.

"Camelot is the name of the stronghold of the legendary King Arthur, from which he fought many of the battles that made up his life. Its specific location is currently unknown and may be a fictionalized Romano-British province of post-Roman Britain. It is described as many days' journey from Avalon. Various stories present Camelot's court in varying ways, anything from welcoming followers of both the Celtic and the Christian gods, to exclusively one or the other. Since the location of Camelot is still a mystery, the truth about it—if there is one—is still unknown." — [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camelot WikiPedia, the free encyclopedia].

STORYLINE:

SG-1 discusses the legend of Arthur with Meurik, the governor of the medieval village, Camelot. Meurik is surprised to learn that the legend of Arthur has spread beyond their world. They are joined by Antonius, the village historian. The team learns from them that in their version of history, Arthur triumphed at Camlan rather than being mortally wounded by Mordred as in the Earth version. The villagers believe that Arthur left after his victory to search for the Holy Grail, and that when he finds it, he will return to them. Meurik also believes that the Ori are not a risk to their village.

According to the villagers, Merlin was the product of a human and a demon and therefore was capable of much mischief in spite of being Arthur’s trusted friend.

Antonius tells SG-1 that Merlin left behind a library, his private sanctuary. However it is protected by a powerful curse and a guardian: a black knight.

SG-1 learns about a key to the library from Valencia, a teenage girl who is an excellent swordsman. Once they know about the key, SG-1 is able to convince Antonius to help them get into the library, where they find a secret passageway behind a shelf of books. The passageway leads to a chamber with Ancient technology. However, the black knight has been awakened and must be dealt with.

:—
"The director's cut of Camelot will soon follow. Speaking of which, Michelle [Michelle Comens, VFX Producer] showed us the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animatics animatics] [previsualizations, film reel: animation of storyboard illustrations which might also include music, sound effects, and dialog] for the space battle and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra-vehicular_activity EVA] [Extravehicular Activity: spacewalk] sequence today. They're going to be great. Also, checked out dailies today. Ben [Browder] [...] was getting good and muddy showing off his mad sword skills. John Noble (aka Denethor from Lord of the Rings) and Katharine Isabelle (Ginger Snaps) guest star." — Joseph Mallozzi in his GateWorld Blog, October 4.

According to John Noble's website, www.johnnoble.net, Noble has been cast to play Meurik, the governor of the medeival village on an alien planet. He is courteous, intelligent, and strong, but dismisses the threat of the Ori. He strongly believes that King Arthur will return to his throne after finding the "sangraal" (Holy Grail). He becomes furious with Daniel and Mitchell after they disobey his orders and gain access to Merlin's library and release the Black Knight. After Mitchell impresses him with apparently vanquishing the Black Knight, Meurik offers Daniel and Mitchell his village's hospitality until Arthur returns with the sangraal.

"Just finished watching the director's cut of Camelot. Well, not exactly. I just got off the phone with Martin Wood, congratulating him on the terrific job he did on Camelot - which I just finished watching. It's huge in scope and really feels like a two-parter. There's so much going on including that swordfight I mentioned in a previous blog. HOLY CRAP does Ben take some punishment in this one. He lays it all out and, well, kicks ass. He's been an incredible addition to the show. Michael is also great in this one - determined, occasionally flustered, occasionally cool, and funny. Amanda gets to play both the scientist and the adventurer, while Chris gets to do some throwing down himself. Overall, a terrific season (let's hope not a series) ender." — Joseph Mallozzi in his GateWorld Blog, October 12.

In answer to a question on his Q&A thread in the GateWorld Forum, Joseph Mallozzi said that the Asgard drop in to lend a hand in this episode, which is now in post-production (October 21).

"Lots to look forward to: holograms and horses, a gathering of allies, hope and despair, death and destruction, and an uncertain future." — Joseph Mallozzi, September 17 Blog.

In a GateWorld interview, Ben Browder stated concerning the cliffhanger: "I'm still waiting to find out whether I'm alive or not!"

The interview also implies that Browder does his sword fight against the Black Knight in eight inches of mud.

"Earth's ships and several allied vessels flex their collective muscles in Camelot, the big SG-1 season 9 season finale." — Joseph Mallozzi in his GateWorld Q&A, November 27.

"They'll be gaining an unlikely ally at the end of season 9. Keeping that ally will be the problem." — Joseph Mallozzi in his GateWorld Q&A, November 28.

:—

From TV Zone #67: Joseph Mallozzi: "In that one [Camelot], a gate address leads our heroes to an alien version of Camelot in search of a device created by Merlin (one of the Ascended Ancients) that would purportedly allow us to take out the Ori. We could be too late, though, as the Ori have started building another space gate, as they tried to do before in Beachhead [9.06], to travel to our galaxy."

As for what happens next, no one is saying much. "It's your classic end of season cliffhanger episode where it appears as though everybody may be dead," notes Paul Mullie. "The last shot in Camelot brings back a much loved and much hated character who we haven't seen in a while and leaves a giant gaping hole in the story that we will have to address at the start of season 10." [Thanks to Sandra for the quotes.]

:—


"Saw the almost-finished visual effects for Camelot and they are amazing. We screened the Day One mix the other day and Carl [Binder] said it was the best episode of SG-1 he's ever seen. I'm kind of biased because I wrote the episode and feel the need to display some of my trademark humility (ha ha), so I will NOT say its the best episode of SG-1 ever. ... But it's certainly in the top ten." — Joseph Mallozzi, January 19 Blog.

Beliskner-Class Ship

2006-03-05T17:20:01Z

Alison: /* Technical Details */

[[Category:Ships]][[Image:beliskner1.jpg|thumb|170px|left|Asgard Beliskner-Class Ship]]

==Summary==
The Beliskner-Class Ship is the name for the most
commonly seen type of Asgard ship. It is named after
the first ship of its type seen in the series, the
''Beliskner'', commanded by Thor, Supreme Commander of the
Asgard Fleet. The first time we see the
Beliskner-Class is in the episode 3.22 "Nemesis",
although it was indirectly seen in 2.06 "Thor's Chariot".

==Technical Details==
{|
|valign="top"|[[Image:beliskner2.jpg|frame|left|Asgard Beliskner Class Ship]]
|valign="top"|[[Image:beliskner3.jpg|frame|left|Belisknir high-energy weapons]]
|valign="top"|[[Image:beliskner4.jpg|frame|left|Beliskner Neutrino Ion Engines]]
|}
The Beliskner-Class are shown to be capable of very
fast hyperspace travel and utilizing sophisticated
cloaking devices to mask their presence from all
manner of scanning devices. Their technology is shown
to allow them to cross enormous interplanetary
distances within minutes, and they quite proudly
mention that they have never before been detected in
all their visits to Earth. (6.12 "Unnatural
Selection", concerning their hyperspace capability; 3.03 "Fair Game" and
3.22 "Nemesis", concerning their cloaking technology)

The Beliskner-Class are powered by four neutrino ion
generators, with thrust generated by two rear
thrusters, and utilize a forward-mounted deceleration
drive to control planetary reentry. Internal dampening
fields and other measures prevent internal explosions
from damaging the ship. (3.22 "Nemesis") With all the
technological sophisitication, there is no direct,
easy way to destroy this ship. All Beliskner ships are
shown to have only one Asgard aboard, but it is
suggested in "Nemesis" that there is a small crew
accompanying.

Asgard computer technology utilizes a series of round
polished stones that can be placed upon different
points on a console, then rotated to access different
files. Technical schematics and interactive internal
maps of the ship can be displayed by utilizing this
computer system. Internal sensors can detect both the
presence of normal lifeforms by heat signatures, as
well as an unknown sensor that can detect Replicators.
These sensors are destroyed first when the Replicators
board Asgard ships. Each ship has automated medical
treatment systems, which includes a medical stasis pod
that can be used in the event of a dire emergency.
(3.22 "Nemesis") Asgard ships and their computer
systems are particularly susceptible to Replicator
infestation and takeover owing to the Asgard high
level of technology.

For defensive and offensive capablities,
Beliskner-Class ships are equipped with defensive
energy shields and a number of high-energy weapons
systems. A single Asgard ship has demonstrated it is
more than a match for Goa'uld Ha'tak motherships. (2.06
"Thor's Chariot", 3.06 "Point of View") However,
Goa'uld warships that have been upgraded with Ancient
technology by Anubis have been shown to pose a greater
threat but still are not equal to Asgard technology.

''Beliskner'', commanded by Thor, Supreme Commander of the
Asgard Fleet. The first time we see the
Beliskner-Class is in the episode 3.22 "Nemesis",
although it was indirectly seen in 2.06 "Thor's Chariot".

The Beliskner-Class are shown to be capable of very
fast hyperspace travel and utilizing sophisticated
cloaking devices to mask their presence from all
manner of scanning devices. Their technology is shown
to allow them to cross enormous interplanetary
distances within minutes, and they quite proudly
mention that they have never before been detected in
all their visits to Earth. (6.12 "Unnatural
Selection", concerning their hyperspace capability; 3.03 "Fair Game" and
3.22 "Nemesis", concerning their cloaking technology)

The Beliskner-Class are powered by four neutrino ion
generators, with thrust generated by two rear
thrusters, and utilize a forward-mounted deceleration
drive to control planetary reentry. Internal dampening
fields and other measures prevent internal explosions
from damaging the ship. (3.22 "Nemesis") With all the
technological sophisitication, there is no direct,
easy way to destroy this ship. All Beliskner ships are
shown to have only one Asgard aboard, but it is
suggested in "Nemesis" that there is a small crew
accompanying.

Asgard computer technology utilizes a series of round
polished stones that can be placed upon different
points on a console, then rotated to access different
files. Technical schematics and interactive internal
maps of the ship can be displayed by utilizing this
computer system. Internal sensors can detect both the
presence of normal lifeforms by heat signatures, as
well as an unknown sensor that can detect Replicators.
These sensors are destroyed first when the Replicators
board Asgard ships. Each ship has automated medical
treatment systems, which includes a medical stasis pod
that can be used in the event of a dire emergency.
(3.22 "Nemesis") Asgard ships and their computer
systems are particularly susceptible to Replicator
infestation and takeover owing to the Asgard high
level of technology.

For defensive and offensive capablities,
Beliskner-Class ships are equipped with defensive
energy shields and a number of high-energy weapons
systems. A single Asgard ship has demonstrated it is
more than a match for Goa'uld Ha'tak motherships. (2.06
"Thor's Chariot", 3.06 "Point of View") However,
Goa'uld warships that have been upgraded with Ancient
technology by Anubis have been shown to pose a greater
threat but still are not equal to Asgard technology.

O'Neill-Class Ship

2006-03-05T15:41:41Z

Alison:

[[Category:Ships]][[Image:522oneillclass.jpg|thumb|170px|left|Asgard O'Neill-Class Ship]]
==Summary==
The O'Neill-Class ship is the name for the Asgard ship
first seen in 4.01 "Small Victories Part 2". It is the
first Asgard ship designed to fight the Replicators,
and is the most advanced ship of its time. It is
named for Jack O'Neill of the SGC, for his actions in
assisting the Asgard war against the Replicators in
3.22 "Nemesis Part 1".

==Technical Details==
While much of the ship's technology is unknown, it can
be conjectured that it is similar to the
Beliskner-Class, only more advanced. It is known, even
with the first ship, the ''O'Neill'', only partially constructed, its
hyperspace capablities are still fully functional. It
is also shown that the ship can be remotely controlled
and self-destructed. The hull of the ''O'Neill'' is an
alloy of naquadah, trinium, and carbon, and is the
strongest material the Asgard know of. (4.01 "Small Victories Part 2")

The ''O'Neill''
was used as bait
to destroy three Replicator-infested ships and was
destroyed before it was completed, but the Asgard,
confident in its design, built more ships in its class.
(4.01 "Small Victories Part 2", 5.22 "Revelations")

The only time we ever see the O'Neill-Class in action
is with six O'Neill-class ships
defending Orilla from a mass of Replicator blocks
flying towards Orilla. Their primary weapon is similar
to the ''Beliskner'', a forward cannon firing a large blue
pulse of energy. The
counterpart weapon on the ''Beliskner'' is a slightly
different hued pulse of energy, traveling slightly
faster as well. (8.01 "New Order Part 1")

The O'Neill-Class was designed to bring the fight to
the Replicators. Given that around four or so years
pass between its arrival, and the final destruction of
the Replicators, and that, according to Thor, the
Asgard were barely holding off the invasion of their
homeworld, the O'Neill must have been extremely
successful in engagements against the Replicators.

The O'Neill-Class is also an extremely potent warship
against the Goa'uld as well. When three O'Neill-Class
ships challenged Anubis's upgraded Ha'taks, Anubis
immediately ran from the battle. The fact that he did
not even try to engage, whereas before he decimated
Thor's Beliskner-Class ship, tells of the
effectiveness of this new battleship. (5.22
"Revelations")

The O'Neill-Class now serves as the main warship of
the Asgard, and at least six have been built, one of which is
the ''Valhalla'', commanded by Aegir. (8.01
"New Order Part 1")

==Summary==
The Giant Aliens lived on P7X-377 in an alternate dimension. Only after someone was transported to their dimension via the crystal skull were they visible. The Giant Aliens appeared to be made of mist and could fly around like spectres. They understood and spoke both English and Mayan and considered the Goa'uld their enemies.

Dr. Nicholas Ballard accidentally visited the Giant Aliens in 1971. He was exploring a temple in Belize, Central America and came across a temple there. Inside the temple, he found a crystal skull. Looking into the skull's eyes, he was teleported to P7X-377, where he was greeted by the Giant Aliens, who appeared to be made of mist and flew around him like spectres. They greeted him with the Mayan expression: "''Oo ya waaling waaling wey tayil'', which means: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Ballard was too frightened by the experience to respond and closed his eyes. The Giant Aliens transported him back, and the temple was destroyed by an earthquake.

Thirty years later, SG-1 visited P7X-377 and entered the large temple where the Giant Aliens lived. Just as his grandfather Dr. Ballard had done thirty years prior, Daniel stared into the eyes of the skull. The skull activated, radiation levels spiked. Sensing the skull to be dangerous, Teal’c zatted it, rendering Daniel out of phase and invisible. Since the process was interrupted, the Giant Aliens did not appear to Daniel.

Eventually Daniel's teammates contacted his grandfather. Unbeknownst to everyone, Nick was able to see Daniel, but thought his grandson was merely a hallucination. Eventually Daniel figured out he could communicate through Nick and with his grandfather's help, convinced Hammond and his team they should return to the planet. Ballard took advantage of this opportunity to satisfy his lifelong quest and tagged along to the expedition.

This time, the skull shifted everyone except Teal’c into the alternate dimension. Teal'c returned to the SGC. Soon afterwards, several giant mist-shrouded aliens rose up from the depths of the temple. One fully formed into a humanoid form and identified himself as Quetzalcoatl. Daniel identified themselves as enemies of the Goa'uld. Quetzalcoatl welcomed them and accepted Daniel's proposition of exchanging knowledge and culture. The alien requested Ballard remain, recognizing the archeologist from his first visit to the planet. Ballard jumped at the chance to fulfill his life's work. Reluctantly, Daniel agreed, insisting his grandfather tell him everything later.

==Notable Characters==
* [[Quetzalcoatl]] - was the Giant Alien who communicated with Daniel Jackson in both English and Mayan. After determining the group were enemies of the Goa'uld, he welcomed them. Quetzalcoatl recognized Nicholas Ballard from his previous visit to the temple in 1971 and requested he be the emissary to stay and exchange knowledge and culture with the Giant Aliens.

==Alliances==

* The [[SGC]] formed an alliance with the Giant Aliens based upon having a mutual enemy, the Goa'uld. They exchanged knowledge and culture.

==Enemies==
* The [[Goa'uld]] was named as an enemy of the Giant Aliens, but it is unknown what encounters the two species may have had.

P7X-377

2006-02-27T20:31:54Z

Alison: /* Gallery */

[[Category:Planets]][[Image:p7x-377-01.jpg|left|]]

==Summary==

P7X-377 is home to Quetzelcoatl and the other "Giant Aliens". They live in a different dimension virtually undetectable from this one. A crystal skull in their temple is an interdimensional and teleportation device that allows humans to shift from this dimension to Quetzelcoatl's. Once the aliens determined the visitors from Earth were also enemies of the Goa'uld, they agreed to an exchange of cultures. Dr. Nicholas Ballard remained as liaison between Earth and the inhabitants of P7X-377. The planet was visited in the episode 3.21 "Crystal Skull".

==Geopolitical Structure and History==

P7X-377 is a planet inhabited by Giant Aliens who appear as a mist and exist in an alternate dimension. A large Mayan style pyramid temple was built over 1,000 meters high in close proximity to the Stargate. Daniel Jackson later surmised that every pyramid on Earth could fit inside the temple based on its height and depth. Inside the temple was a narrow pathway that led to a platform containing a crystal skull. On either side of the narrow path was a large chasm full of stalagmites from which the aliens entered and exited. The Giant Aliens knew of the Goa'uld and considered them enemies, but no details were ever given of their encounters.

The planet was first visited in 1971 by the archeologist Dr. Nicholas Ballard. He was exploring a temple in Belize, Central America. Inside the temple, he found a crystal skull. Looking into the skull's eyes, he was teleported to PX7-377, where he was greeted by the Giant Aliens, who appeared to be made of mist and flew around him like spectres. They greeted him with the Mayan expression: "''Oo ya waaling waaling wey tayil'', which means: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Ballard was too frightened by the experience to respond and closed his eyes. When he opened them, he found himself back in Belize with the temple collapsing around him. He grabbed the skull and fled before the temple was completely destroyed. Although he made numerous attempts, he was never able to find the temple ruins again. When he shared his experience, the academic community laughed at him. Not even his grandson, Daniel Jackson, could believe the outrageous tale. Eventually Ballard suffered a nervous collapse and admitted himself to a psychiatric institution in Oregon.

Thirty years later, the SGC explored the planet, noting a breathable atmosphere but no complex life signs using the MALP. The MALP entered the pyramid, and SG-1 could see through the camera the chasm filled with stalagmites that fascinated Major Carter. She also became excited at readings of a number of leptons, which slowed down the movement of neutrinos (the leptons and resulting muon radiation were actually the only observable readings of the alternate dimension where the Giant Aliens lived). Through the camera image, Daniel Jackson spotted the twin to the crystal skull discovered by his grandfather over 30 years before. SG-1 returned to the planet.

Once there, Daniel was drawn to the podium and the crystal skull. He stared into its eyes. Carter observed the muon radiation caused by the leptons was spiking. The team saw the skull as the source and Teal'c fired his zat at it, which interrupted the transportation to another dimension. Daniel ended up out of phase and unconscious. The others became ill from the intense muon radiation and barely escaped alive. To their view, Daniel had completely disappeared. Based on Ballard's experiences, they assumed he had been teleported elsewhere in space, rather than into a completely different dimension.

Teal'c later returned to the planet to retrieve the crystal skull, hoping it would provide some clue as to Daniel Jackson's whereabouts. His symbiote helped protect him from exposure to the radiation, which was still at increased levels. Daniel recovered consciousness around the time of Teal'c's return. Discomfited by the fact that Teal'c not only was unaware of his presence, but that the Jaffa was able to pass right through his body, Dr. Jackson followed Teal'c back to the SGC.

Eventually SG-1 contacted Dr. Nicholas Ballard. Unbeknownst to everyone, Nick was able to see Daniel, but thought his grandson was merely a hallucination. Eventually Daniel figured out he could communicate through Nick and with his grandfather's help, convinced Hammond and his team they should return to the planet. Ballard took advantage of this opportunity to satisfy his lifelong quest and tagged along to the expedition.

After returning to the temple, they replaced the skull and Daniel once again stared into its eyes. This time the transfer to the alternate dimension was completed, and everyone but Teal'c phased into the Giant Aliens realm. Teal'c was not transported with the others, and Hammond ordered him to return to the SGC. Once the Jaffa had departed, the Giant Aliens appeared to Ballard and the rest of SG-1. He introduced himself as Quetzalcoatl and repeated the Mayan greeting: "''Oo ya waaling waaling wey tayil''. Daniel Jackson realized since Teal'c was not transported, the Giant Aliens must view the Goa'uld as enemies, and responded: "We are enemies of the Goa'uld." Quetzalcoatl welcomed them and accepted Daniel's proposition of exchanging knowledge and culture. The alien requested Ballard remain, recognizing the archeologist from his first visit to the planet. Ballard jumped at the chance to fulfill his life's work. Reluctantly, Daniel agreed, insisting his grandfather tell him everything later.

His symbiote helped protect him from exposure to the radiation, which was still at increased levels. Daniel recovered consciousness around the time of Teal'c's return. Discomfited by the fact that Teal'c not only was unaware of his presence, but that the Jaffa was able to pass right through his body, Dr. Jackson followed Teal'c back to the SGC.

Eventually SG-1 contacted Dr. Nicholas Ballard. Unbeknownst to everyone, Nick was able to see Daniel, but thought his grandson was merely a hallucination. Eventually Daniel figured out he could communicate through Nick and with his grandfather's help, convinced Hammond and his team they should return to the planet. Ballard took advantage of this opportunity to satisfy his lifelong quest and tagged along to the expedition.

After returning to the temple, they replaced the skull and Daniel once again stared into its eyes. This time the transfer to the alternate dimension was completed, and everyone but Teal'c phased into the Giant Aliens realm. Teal'c was not transported with the others, and Hammond ordered him to return to the SGC. Once the Jaffa had departed, the Giant Aliens appeared to Ballard and the rest of SG-1. He introduced himself as Quetzalcoatl and repeated the Mayan greeting: "''Oo ya waaling waaling wey tayil''. Daniel Jackson realized since Teal'c was not transported, the Giant Aliens must view the Goa'uld as enemies, and responded: "We are enemies of the Goa'uld." Quetzalcoatl welcomed them and accepted Daniel's proposition of exchanging knowledge and culture. The alien requested Ballard remain, recognizing the archeologist from his first visit to the planet. Ballard jumped at the chance to fulfill his life's work. Reluctantly, Daniel agreed, insisting his grandfather tell him everything later.

==Summary==

P7X-377 is home to Quetzelcoatl and the other "Giant Aliens". They live in a different dimension virtually undetectable from this one. A crystal skull in their temple is an interdimensional and teleportation device that allows humans to shift from this dimension to Quetzelcoatl's. Once the aliens determined the visitors from Earth were also enemies of the Goa'uld, they agreed to an exchange of cultures. Dr. Nicholas Ballard remained as liaison between Earth and the inhabitants of P7X-377. The planet was visited in the episode 3.21 "Crystal Skull".

==Geopolitical Structure and History==

P7X-377 is a planet inhabited by Giant Aliens who appear as a mist and exist in an alternate dimension. A large Mayan style pyramid temple was built over 1,000 meters high in close proximity to the Stargate. Daniel Jackson later surmised that every pyramid on Earth could fit inside the temple based on its height and depth. Inside the temple was a narrow pathway that led to a platform containing a crystal skull. On either side of the narrow path was a large chasm full of stalagmites from which the aliens entered and exited. The Giant Aliens knew of the Goa'uld and considered them enemies, but no details were ever given of their encounters.

The planet was first visited in 1971 by the archeologist Dr. Nicholas Ballard. He was exploring a temple in Belize, Central America. Inside the temple, he found a crystal skull. Looking into the skull's eyes, he was teleported to PX7-377, where he was greeted by the Giant Aliens, who appeared to be made of mist and flew around him like spectres. They greeted him with the Mayan expression: "''Oo ya waaling waaling wey tayil'', which means: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Ballard was too frightened by the experience to respond and closed his eyes. When he opened them, he found himself back in Belize with the temple collapsing around him. He grabbed the skull and fled before the temple was completely destroyed. Although he made numerous attempts, he was never able to find the temple ruins again. When he shared his experience, the academic community laughed at him. Not even his grandson, Daniel Jackson, could believe the outrageous tale. Eventually Ballard suffered a nervous collapse and admitted himself to a psychiatric institution in Oregon.

Thirty years later, the SGC explored the planet, noting a breathable atmosphere but no complex life signs using the MALP. The MALP entered the pyramid, and SG-1 could see through the camera the chasm filled with stalagmites that fascinated Major Carter. She also became excited at readings of a number of leptons, which slowed down the movement of neutrinos (the leptons and resulting muon radiation were actually the only observable readings of the alternate dimension where the Giant Aliens lived). Through the camera image, Daniel Jackson spotted the twin to the crystal skull discovered by his grandfather over 30 years before. SG-1 returned to the planet.

Once there, Daniel was drawn to the podium and the crystal skull. He stared into its eyes. Carter observed the muon radiation caused by the leptons was spiking. The team saw the skull as the source and Teal'c fired his zat at it, which interrupted the transportation to another dimension. Daniel ended up out of phase and unconscious. The others became ill from the intense muon radiation and barely escaped alive. To their view, Daniel had completely disappeared. Based on Ballard's experiences, they assumed he had been teleported elsewhere in space, rather than into a completely different dimension.

Teal'c later returned to the planet to retrieve the crystal skull, hoping it would provide some clue as to Daniel Jackson's whereabouts. His symbiote helped protect him from exposure to the radiation, which was still at increased levels. Daniel recovered consciousness around the time of Teal'c's return. Discomfited by the fact that Teal'c not only was unaware of his presence, but that the Jaffa was able to pass right through his body, Dr. Jackson followed Teal'c back to the SGC.

Eventually SG-1 contacted Dr. Nicholas Ballard. Unbeknownst to everyone, Nick was able to see Daniel, but thought his grandson was merely a hallucination. Eventually Daniel figured out he could communicate through Nick and with his grandfather's help, convinced Hammond and his team they should return to the planet. Ballard took advantage of this opportunity to satisfy his lifelong quest and tagged along to the expedition.

After returning to the temple, they replaced the skull and Daniel once again stared into its eyes. This time the transfer to the alternate dimension was completed, and everyone but Teal'c phased into the Giant Aliens realm. Teal'c was not transported with the others, and Hammond ordered him to return to the SGC. Once the Jaffa had departed, the Giant Aliens appeared to Ballard and the rest of SG-1. He introduced himself as Quetzalcoatl and repeated the Mayan greeting: "''Oo ya waaling waaling wey tayil''.

'''TEASER'''

'''INT—STARGATE ROOM—P3R-233'''

[SG-1 enters a darkened room through the Stargate. The team has to use flashlights to see.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(brightly) 
Good morning, campers.</blockquote>

[Daniel is videotaping the room's interior.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
There is damage. It appears to have been done by Goa'uld weaponry. I do not believe this battle took place recently.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No bodies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Examining some sort of device) 
Daniel. Do you recognize any of these symbols?</blockquote>

[Daniel goes to where Carter is looking.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No. This place is definitely alien.</blockquote>

[The team continue to search the interior. Daniel is viewing something through his camera.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Wonder what's behind curtain number two.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Take Carter, and check it out.</blockquote>

[Carter and Daniel leave the room, while O'Neill and Teal'c continue to look around. O'Neill sees a large dark symbol.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Whoa. Teal'c, you ever see anything like this before?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
{Sees what O'Neill is looking at.) 
We must return to Earth as quickly as possible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why? What is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is the symbol of Korosh-ni. It is for any Goa'uld or Jaffa who may pass through the Gate. Loosely translated it means, "Turn back."</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Does it…elaborate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is place on worlds Goa'uld destroyers have wiped out and left contaminated. This planet's entire surface will be, in your terms, radioactive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
No one will be left alive. This place is not safe.</blockquote>

'''INT—ARTIFACT ROOM P3R-233'''

[Daniel and Carter enter the room and start looking around]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I think this is a lab.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How do you know?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Examining items on a long table.) 
These are thing that they brought back through the Stargate from other planets to study. They're all tagged. This is a Turkanese mask. This is a clay cone from Lagash with cuneiform symbols on it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Calling from outside the room) 
Carter! Daniel!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Found a souvenir shop, sir.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c enter the room.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're outa here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What? Why? Thi—This place is a treasure chest of artifacts from diverse human cultures.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, I don't want to hear it. Let's go.</blockquote>

[O'Neill, Carter and Teal'c leave the room.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You don't want to…hear it.</blockquote>

[Frustrated, Daniel, unhooks his pack and starts pulling artifacts off the table to place in his pack. Picking up and examining one device, he hears a noise as a mirror-like structure behind him activates. Daniel turns to look at it and moves closer to it. Waving a hand in front of the mirror, there is no reflection.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Calling from outside the room) 
Daniel! We're leaving. Let's go.</blockquote>

[Daniel reaches out a hand and touches the surface of the mirror, and an electrical charge disburses over him. The light in the room changes, and Daniel examines his hand.]

'''INT—ALTERNATE UNIVERSE (AU) STARGATE ROOM P3R-233'''

[Daniel runs into the room.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Guys, I need a hand with this thing. It's too heavy for me to move, but we have to take it…back. 
(He cannot see his team in the room.) 
Jack? Sam? Teal'c?</blockquote>

[The Stargate is dark.]

<blockquote>Oh, I really hate it when this happens.</blockquote>

[Daniel goes to the DHD and starts inputting Earth's Gate address.]

'''INT—AU SGC GATE ROOM'''

[Daniel is on the ramp, having just stepped through the Gate and he turns to face the event horizon. The klaxons are sounding.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN OVER P.A. 
Close the iris!</blockquote>

[Daniel watches the iris close and he turns around, starting to walk down the ramp when he sees about a dozen SF's arming their weapons they have trained on him. He stops short and looks at them warily.]

<blockquote>SF 
Hands on your head. Now! Or we will open fire.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Putting his hands on his head. 
What's going on?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SF 
Identify yourself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Confused.) 
Daniel Jackson, SG-1.</blockquote>

[Hammond enters the Gate room and walks toward Daniel.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
General, what's this all about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
General? You see stars anywhere on my uniform?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SF 
Colonel. He says he's on SG-1</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Colonel?</blockquote>

[An SF begins to handcuff Daniel's hands behind his back.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How did you get an SG-1 remote iris deactivation device?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What are you talking about?</blockquote>

[The klaxons begin to sound.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN OVER P.A. 
Unauthorized incoming travelers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Who the hell are you?</blockquote>

[A puzzled Daniel can only stare as the scene fades out.]

<blockquote>END TEASER</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROLL OPENING CREDITS</blockquote>

'''INT—AU SGC INFIRMARY'''

[A doctor is filling a syringe from a vile. Daniel is heard protesting out in the hallway as the doors burst open and the SF's drag him into the MRI room.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm Dr. Daniel Jackson, SG-1! I need to see Jack O'Neill! Ask Sam Carter! Come on!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DOCTOR 
On the bed.</blockquote>

[They haul him up on the MRI bed. His hands are cuffed in front and both SF's restrain him on the table.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I am not a Goa'uld! 
(He sees the doctor with the syringe.) 
Don't give me that! Where's Dr. Fraiser? Don't give me that. 
(Daniel is injected.) 
Ahhhh! 
(Breathing deeply.) 
I am Dr. Daniel Jackson. I need to see Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SF 
You mean General O'Neill?</blockquote>

[Daniel is seemingly unable to speak anymore as he sees a familiar person in the infirmary before passes out.]

'''INT—SGC HOLDING CELL'''

[Daniel slowly wakes up and sits up to examine his surroundings. Standing, he finds his glasses on a table and puts them on, then goes to the door. It's locked.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(knocking) 
Hello! 
(kicks the door.) 
I have to speak to someone!</blockquote>

[He pounds on the door again, then walks away shaking his hand as if in pain. Through the window a Marine is seen approaching. The door is unlocked, the Marine walks in followed by Catherine Langford.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Catherine!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
You know me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Of course. You don't know me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Dr. Daniel Jackson. Linguist, Ancient Egyptian Historian. Better known for some of your more radical ideas. At the moment, I am more interested in how you came through my Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How I— Your Stargate? What the hell is going on here, Catherine?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I prefer you address me as Dr. Langford. You were wearing a remote device when you came through the Gate. You had SG-1's code. How did you obtain it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How did I— How do you think I did it? I left from here: Stargate Command. Today. A few hours ago. I went through on a mission to—to—to P3R-233.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
What are you talking about? You've never been in this facility until now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(chuckles) 
Okay, um. *I* figured out how to work the Stargate. You recruited me to translate the cartouche found at Giza. *I* went through on the first mission through the Stargate to Abydos. And unless the last two years have been some wacky, wacky dream, I am a member of SG-1.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Not as far as I'm concerned.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Wh—what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I supervised the team that translated the cartouche found at Giza.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You did?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I admit we referenced your work occasionally. I even went to meet you at one of your seminars to ask you to joins us. But you said no.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I did?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
You were quite rude, actually.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, I was?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
(Sighs and looks at a report.) 
The MRI confirms you are not a Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Could I see Captain Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Samantha Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
She's not in the military. She's a doctor. Ph.D. Astrophysics. She's attending to more important business at the moment. Don't you have any explanation for this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Scoffs) 
No! God, no! Catherine—! I— I mean, Dr. Langford— No, this doesn't make any sense. I—I *know* you! I belong here! You…don't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
(offended) 
Excuse me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You were retired. Uh, at least the Air Force made you retire. You are supposed to be at home, living happily ever after with Ernest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
(Shocked) 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The man you were supposed to marry in 1945.</blockquote>

[Catherine is stunned speechless.]

'''INT—AU SGC—GENERAL O'NEILL'S OFFICE'''

[Colonel Hammond is addressing General O'Neill.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We've only got 50 percent of the list through to the beta site, General. Voyager is still en route.</blockquote>

[Catherine walks in.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Excuse me, I know you're a little busy right now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's all right, Catherine. What is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I think you should meet the young man who came through the Gate, Jack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
How much time do we have?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
(a bit freaked out) 
He…knows things.</blockquote>

[O'Neill leaves the room leaving Hammond.]

'''INT—AU SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Daniel is standing nervously at the table. A guard is posted at the wall. Daniel looks up.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Look, we're in the middle of a situation right now. I don't know who you are, but Dr. Langford says you might be able to help us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay. This is starting to get a little bit spooky. Now, a few hours ago, everything about this place was different. I mean, well, I mean, not complete different. I mean, you're still you…sort of.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks at Catherine, puzzled, then looks back at Daniel.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What can you tell me about the Goa'ulds?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
The Goa'uld. You know who they are?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uhhhh. Yeah?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Tell me what you know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay. Now, maybe I've completely lost my mind here, 
(Daniel moves toward O'Neill and the guard steps closer to Daniel) 
but as far as I'm concerned, we know each other very well. You know everything that I know.</blockquote>

[O'Neill just stares at him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Daniel pulls at his jacket sleeve where the SG-1 patch is.) 
Look, I'm a member of SG-1 with you, Captain Carter, and Teal'c! 
(Daniel looks around suddenly.) 
Wher— where is Teal'c?</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks at him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, big guy. Gold emblem on his head. Goa'uld in his stomach. You can't miss him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
A Jaffa?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes. He's our—our friend?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(disgustedly) 
Get this man out of here, now!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
(Follows O'Neill) 
How'd he come through the Gate? How does he know the things he knows?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(The guard has a hold of Daniel.) 
According to Dr. Langford, you solved the Gate without me. Did you still go to Abydos with the intention of blowing up a nuclear device?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Looks at Daniel more intently.) 
How did you know that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You were willing to commit suicide because your son had recently died. He— he shot himself with your gun, right?</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks now at Catherine.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I swear I didn't tell him anything.</blockquote>

[O'Neill moves back into the room.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So, did you still go to Chulak?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
What is Chulak.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The Jaffa home world.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Do you know the symbols?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes.</blockquote>

[Catherine moves to the table and opens up a notebook.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What, do you want me to write it down?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
(impatiently) 
Yes!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Sighs and starts to write down the symbols.) 
So, if you've never been to Chulak, you've probably never even met Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, Teal'c! 
(finishes writing, and throws down the pen and walks away from the table) 
Oh, everything's screwed up. Why?</blockquote>

[Carter, wearing civilian clothes and long hair, makes her way up the steps to the briefing room. Daniel turns and sees her.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sam!</blockquote>

[She stops short when she sees him, then looks at O'Neill.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Who is this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Dr. Jackson.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Of course.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
The young man who came through the Stargate with the SG-1 remote code.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Report, Doctor?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We've lost Washington and Philadelphia, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(looking from one person to the next) 
I'm sorry. What do you mean by lost?</blockquote>

[Carter looks to O'Neill for guidance.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Shrugs) 
Show him.</blockquote>

[Carter makes a hand gesture to follow her, and all leave the room.]

'''INT—AU SGC STARGATE CONTROL ROOM'''

[Carter, Catherine, and Daniel descend the stairs and enter.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
We're locking in coordinates.</blockquote>

[Carter leads them to a map on the wall with various red markings on it.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Every one of those red dots is a destroyed city.</blockquote>

[The map depicts Europe and it major cities with red dots covering them. Daniel looks at Catherine.]

<blockquote>SGC MAN VOICE OVER 
Dr. Carter. There's another report coming on.</blockquote>

[The group move over to a television monitor.]

<blockquote>TV ANCHORMAN VOICE OVER 
All military efforts to engage the alien ships have proven inconsequential.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The Goa'ulds?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The Ships appeared four days ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TV ANCHORMAN 
As is Europe, Asia, and Africa, they have slowly begun systematically annihilating all signs of civilization.</blockquote>

[The television shows images of structures burning and explosions.]

<blockquote>TV ANCHORMAN 
Starting on the East Coast and moving west with frightening inevitability. There has been no response to attempted communications with the aliens.</blockquote>

[Close up on Daniel as he watches intently the news of the destruction of this version of Earth.]

<blockquote>TV ANCHORMAN 
Thus far, they have left no survivors in the wake of their seemingly unstoppable wave of destruction.</blockquote>

'''INT—AU SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Daniel is pacing around the room]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I feel like a victim of the biggest practical joke ever.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
You got all this on the alien planet you talked about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh…. Yeah, with the exception of the gun and the grenade. I found this lab. They obviously collect things that they found on other planets. There was this mirror, like a slab of rock. Could have been made of naquadah, the Gate element. I don't know. Jack called me, said we were leaving, I touched the mirror.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
(Examining the handheld device that Daniel activated the mirror with earlier.) 
Interesting. What is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I have no idea.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
You said you touched a mirror.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, Actually I touched that thing first. It turned on. I heard a noise. That's when I noticed the shimmering.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Maybe this is what controls it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
When I touched the mirror, there was this surge. It was like getting an electrical shock just for a second. And—and then I went to find Jack, Sam, and Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
He's the Jaffa you say is on SG-1 with you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes! But I couldn't find them. It was like they were just gone. So I— I figured that maybe they left without me. So I—I dialed in Earth's address, I came though, and I— 
(Daniel is standing by the briefing room window and looks down on to the Gate room when he hears the Stargate activate.) 
What the hell are they doing down there?</blockquote>

[Catherine gets up from her seat and joins Daniel at the window. Gazing down on to the ramp, they see soldiers and technicians standing around a nuclear device on the ramp, poised for deployment.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN OVER P.A. 
Chevron One encoded.</blockquote>

'''INT—AU SGC STARGATE CONTROL ROOM'''

[Daniel and Catherine are hurriedly making their way down the stairs.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN OVER P.A. 
Chevron Two encoded.</blockquote>

[Daniel walks over to where Carter is seated and looks out at the Gate.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN OVER P.A. 
Chevron Three encoded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(to O'Neill, who is at the other end of the room.) 
Sir, isn't our mission to get the genesis list through to the beta site?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I think we'll try to stop the attack on Earth first.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to Catherine) 
What is this Genesis list? Beta site? What does she mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN OVER P.A. 
Chevron Four encoded.

CATHERINE 
We're evacuating everyone we can to another planet: World leaders, Scientists, doctors.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN OVER P.A. 
Chevron Five encoded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAN, VOICEOVER 
Let's commence the seismic enlargement, 85 percent.</blockquote>

[Daniel notices his paper where he'd written down the address to Chulak is in front of the technician at the Gate control panel who is inputting the coordinates.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to O'Neill) 
You're sending a nuclear weapon to Chulak?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You got a problem with that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The Jaffa aren't your enemy. They're just slaves.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(impatiently) 
All right. Try to comprehend what's going on here. We estimate the death toll to Earth as 1.5 billion.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN OVER P.A. 
Chevron Six engaged.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Who do you think is flying those ships trying to blow up our world, hmm? You give me one good reason why I shouldn't be striking back.</blockquote>

Send the bomb.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
(into the microphone) 
Proceed with deployment.</blockquote>

[The bomb is sent via remote control through the event horizon.]

'''INT—AU SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[All watch as the iris closes.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN OVER P.A. 
Iris is locked.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Proceed with evacuation until that next warhead is ready.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(incredulously, to O'Neill) 
You know there are innocent human beings on most of the Goa'uld planets, don't you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Catherine) 
Unless this man has more information we can use, I don't want to see him again.</blockquote>

[O'Neill stalks out of the room, while Carter and Catherine look at Daniel.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(looks at Catherine, then sighs heavily.) 
This isn't happening. This is nuts. This isn't happening. This isn't happening.</blockquote>

[He walks away and puts a hand to his head while he thinks.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Is it— is it possible that the Stargate malfunctioned or went haywire, and—and—and I came through into a totally screwed-up different version of Earth?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, I doubt that. The Stargate uses space/time to create a wormhole that allows us to travel across great distances, but it doesn't take you to an alternate reality.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Alternate reality?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, basically, scientists have theorized that there are an infinite number of dimensions, each containing a different possible version of reality.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, it sounds like I theoretically, possibly, actually found one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
One what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What Sam said. A—A—A alternate reality. A parallel plane. Wouldn't that explain why everything here is the same, but…different?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, the theory is that there are an infinite number of alternate realities, some of them are very different, and some are almost identical.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That has to be what this is. 
(He looks from Carter to Catherine.) 
So this isn't my world at all. This is some sort of— 
(chuckles) 
other dimension?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, but the Stargate wouldn't cause that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
(pensively) 
Maybe it wasn't the Stargate that caused it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What are you suggesting?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
He found a mirror, possibly made of naquadah on P3R-233.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
All of this started to happen after I touched it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
P3R-233?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What, have you been there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes.</blockquote>

[The Stargate whirrs into motion.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Offworld activation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Close the blast doors and keep the iris sealed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE TECHNICIAN 
We're receiving coded transmissions from Air Force One.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Notify General O'Neill. Catherine, the rest of the Genesis travelers will have to be briefed and ready to go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Right.</blockquote>

[Both Carter and Catherine walk away as the control buzzes with activity. Daniel looks around and spots an unmanned computer terminal. Walking over to it, he sits down and types in a few commands. The screen reads "Find:" and he types in "Jackson, Daniel." Momentarily, he sees his picture on screen with details.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(reading) 
"Current address unknown, phone number unknown, last place of residence, Egypt as of 1997."</blockquote>

[Turning away from the computer, he sees something and rises. Carter is working at a control panel, as Daniel goes over to the wall map and looks it over.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh oh.</blockquote>

[Carter looks up and sees him.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(motioning to the map) 
I think I'm dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The me in this reality.</blockquote>

[Cut to Hammond and O'Neill coming down the stairs.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What is Voyager' status, doctor?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The President's plane is ten minutes from Peterson Air Force Base.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE TECHNICIAN 
Another coded transmission in progress.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Relay it through the decoder and patch it through the speaker.</blockquote>

[Carter walks away from Daniel and over to where Hammond and O'Neill are standing. O'Neill has a phone to his ear.]

<blockquote>MAN'S VOICE OVER RADIO TRANSMISSION 
Enemy craft—pursuit cannot evade.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Surface radar is tracking.</blockquote>

[Daniel comes over and joins them as they track Air Force One's progress on the radar screen.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's one of their big ones.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Look how fast it's moving.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAN'S VOICE OVER RADIO TRANSMISSION 
Under fire! Help…us!</blockquote>

[Tight shot of the radar screen as a large blip moves in on Air Force One's smaller blip. There is rapid beeping as the screen displays "AIRFORCE 1 TRACKING LOST." There is silence in the room as they look on.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's heading straight for us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Confirm, Airman.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Trajectory confirmed. ETA, one minute.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Damn it! Evacuation gave us away.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Intelligence has confirmed that the enemy ships have the firepower to reach us, even this far underground.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
And we're stuck here as long as the Gate's under attack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Enemy ship is slowing down. Visual tracking in ten seconds.</blockquote>

[Hammond, Daniel, Carter, and O'Neill look up at the monitors as they see the entrance of Cheyenne Mountain become cloaked in the shadow of a Goa'uld mother ship. Goa'uld fighters are seen buzzing around the mountainside.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
If they fire on us, chances are we won't even feel it. Blasts on the East Coast were the equivalent of 200 Megaton nuclear warheads.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's not going to fire.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's landing.</blockquote>

[All in the room look at the monitor as the mother ship lowers itself over the mountaintop.]

'''INT—AU SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Daniel, Carter, Catherine, Hammond, O'Neill, and a few other military men are standing at the table reviewing battle plans.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The surveillance cameras outside the main tunnel entrance show Jaffa assembling what appears to be a weapon. Looks like they're coming in the font door. Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(points over schematics of the mountain.) 
All right, position automatic weapons here and here, men in all these halls. Cut off every access to this level. Blow the secondary elevator shaft now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
If the men at the surface have to fall back—</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 

There's only going to be one way down. I want all nonessential personnel through the Gate to the beta site, ASAP. Dr. Langford, that includes you and our…guest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, the Goa'ulds have been keeping a wormhole established from offworld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's probably because you sent that bomb through to Chulak.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The point is, unless we get another window of opportunity to open the Gate from here, we're all stuck.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Recommendations?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, under normal circumstances, when we have full power, we can only keep a wormhole established for about a half hour. There may be a restriction on how long the Goa'ulds can keep theirs active from offworld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So there's a time limit?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Right.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks from Carter to Hammond, then leaves the room.]

'''INT—AU SGC HALLWAY'''

[O'Neill places a pack of C4 on an elevator door.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Start it up. Give it a count of five, then blow it.</blockquote>

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

[O'Neill and the men take cover around a corner, and the elevator shaft blows up. O'Neill and the men then separate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Good luck. 
(heads for another elevator with two more marines.) 
Let's go. Take it up.</blockquote>

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

[They enter the elevator and the doors close as O'Neill barks an indistinct order into his radio/mic.]

'''INT—AU SGC BRIEFING'''

[Daniel is adjusting the controls of a tape player. He has a headphone to one ear.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The first part sounds like a derivation of Ancient Egyptian.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
We couldn't recognize it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to Catherine) 
Oh, you didn't learn how to speak it aloud on Abydos.</blockquote>

[Catherine looks at Carter.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(stops the tape) 
Where did this come from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
It's a deep-space transmission our receivers picked up about three months ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So…why are you showing this to me now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Because the transmission originated from the same quadrant of space as P3R-233</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Where your mirror is.</blockquote>

[Explosions can be heard and the lights in the room flicker.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We went to 233 after we received the transmission, but the civilization had been destroyed by the Goa'ulds. We didn't find any mirror, though.</blockquote>

[Daniel takes a pen and starts to write on the paper.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(reading his writing) 
"Beware the destroyers."</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Some of the 233 aliens must have sent out the warning before their civilization was destroyed by the Goa'ulds.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
[watching Daniel write.) 
What does the rest say?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It just says, "They come from…" but th—the sentence is incomplete. There's just more sounds, pulses or beats of some kind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah. We've analyzed them.</blockquote>

[More explosions.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
They're divided into groups: 3, 32, 16, 8, 10 and 12.</blockquote>

[Daniel writes them down and looks at them.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's six numbers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's a Stargate address, just without the point of origin.</blockquote>

[Carter looks at Catherine.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(reads) 
"Beware the destroyers. They come from 3, 32, 16, 8, 10 and 12."</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Could the aliens on 233 found out where the Goa'uld attack originated from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What, like a Goa'uld home world?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Or at least a—a military base. They must have assigned a number to each symbol on the Stargate. It's a code! All we need to do is figure out which symbol the aliens used to represent the number one and start counting from there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, the only unique symbol they would have is the point of origin for 233.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
But that symbol may not even be on our Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Except I have the alien Gate on tape.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What?</blockquote>

[Daniel pulls out his video camera. In the meantime, the Gate is rumbling and Catherine rises to see what's going on.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
The Gate is off.</blockquote>

[All three race to the stairs.]

'''INT—AU SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Carter, Catherine, and Daniel are hurrying down the stairs.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Start dialing the Gate for the beta site!</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Chevron one's already encoded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
If we can dial in before the Goal'ulds can reestablish a wormhole, we'll be able to get out of here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Chevron Two encoded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Can they dial in here once we've started dialing out?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes. We have to get the seventh chevron locked in order to stop an incoming wormhole.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Chevron Three encoded.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC HALLWAY DOOR A-2, LEVEL 2'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Everybody ready?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAN

<blockquote>MAN #2 
Let's do it, boys!</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAN #3 
Right, sir!</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAN #4

[O'Neill locks his weapon and the men take their positions in the hall. The door blasts open, and the men open fire on the doorway.]

'''INT—AU SGC GATE ROOM'''

[The Stargate is spinning.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Chevron five encoded.</blockquote>

[Daniel, Catherine, and Carter look on at the Gate spins.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Come on, come on, come on.</blockquote>

[As the sixth symbol is about to engage, the Gate shuts down.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Frustrated) 
No!</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Offworld activation!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
You're going to have to make the computer dial in faster for the next time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'll see what I can do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
How long can the Goa'uld keep the wormhole active?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, based on the start and end of their last activation, it looks like they can keep one established from offworld for 38 minutes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We may not have that much time.</blockquote>

'''INT—AU SGC HALLWAY A2, LEVEL 2'''

[Jaffa warriors are making their way into the hallway with staff weapons firing. SGC personnel are returning fire.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Fall back!</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAN 
Fall back!</blockquote>

[SGC personnel make their way back down the hall.]

<blockquote>MAN 
Go! Go!</blockquote>

[They continue to fire on the Jaffa as they make their way through the hallway.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Seal it off and move down</blockquote>

[At the doorway, a Serpent Guard enters the hall. The helmet opens and Teal'c is revealed behind the mask.]

'''INT—AU SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[A television monitor shows the 233's Stargate and its seventh chevron.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This symbol has to be the point of origin.</blockquote>

[Daniel is writing down the symbols on paper. Hammond, Catherine, and Carter are in the room as O'Neill walks in.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How's it going up there, General?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Getting' the crap beat out of us. How's it going here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm estimating it will be 25 before we can try to open the Gate again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
And when we do, Dr. Langford here has presented us with an interesting dilemma. She seems to think we've been handed the address to a Goa'uld home world possibly where this attack originated.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We'll send a bomb through.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Excuse me? 
(tears off the paper from the tablet) 
Um, I know you think of me as an outsider here, but what good will that do? I mean, forget the fact that it won't change what's happening here, how do you know they don't have some kind of iris like yours? I mean, this could all be for nothing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, we probably only have one shot at dialing out. If we use that one opportunity to dial a Goa'uld world, we'll never get out of here ourselves.</blockquote>

[Cut to Daniel's videotape on the monitor. AU SGC personnel look on as they see their doubles wondering through the Stargate room on P3R-233.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
My God!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(moving closer to the monitor) 
What the hell's that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(smiling) 
My reality.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(amused) 
We are actually looking at ourselves in a parallel universe. 
(chuckles) 
Another version of our lives that— that actually exists. It's incredible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's supposed to be theoretical.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Not anymore. What first began with Einstein's theories about relativity—</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(points at the screen) 
Who is this?</blockquote>

[The video zooms in on Teal'c.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Fondly) 
That is Teal'c. Big guy, gold emblem on his head, Goa'uld in his…stomach.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
We just saw him on the security camera. He's the Jaffa that led the invasion into the base.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, he was, and probably still is, the First Prime of Apophis. He would be charged with the most important mission. Look, this is going to sound pretty selfish, but where I come from none of this has happened yet. In my reality, the Earth that I know still has a chance.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You want to explain that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
If this address really does lead to the Goa'uld world where this attack originated and I can get this information back to my world, then maybe I can stop this before it starts there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wh—What makes you think the Goa'ulds are even going to try attacking Earth in your universe?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, I'd say we've pissed the Goa'uld off just as much as you have, probably even more.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right. W—Wait a minute. Let me get this straight. You want us to give up what might be our last chance to strike back at the Goa'ulds so we can save ourselves in a— in a— 
(to Carter) 
Wh—what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Alternate reality.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Not just yourselves, everyone on Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Your Earth!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The Jack O'Neill that I know would do it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, apparently, you and I have never met.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No…I guess not.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks intently at him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Look, all I know is that because I came here, I have seen what can happen. 
(Strongly) 
Now I have a chance to keep this from happening to the Earth that I come from, if you help me.</blockquote>

[Hammond and Catherine look at O'Neill and O'Neill looks pensive. He looks to Carter.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(sighs) 
How much time, Doctor?</blockquote>

[Lights flicker.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
22 minutes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, so the argument is academic. We can never hold them that long anyway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Thinking) 
Well, maybe we can buy some time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Not how. Who.</blockquote>

'''INT—AU SGC HALLWAY'''

[A Jaffa is lowering a large staff weapon through a hole in the ceiling to a lower floor where Teal'c is supervising the operation. He moves into a hallway.]

'''INT—AU SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Teal'c image appears on a security monitor. Teal'c turns and takes aim at the camera and discharges his staff weapon. Catherine, Daniel, O'Neill, Carter, and Hammond watch.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Whoa. 
(chuckles lightly and turns to Daniel) 
You're kidding, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You saw the videotape. In my reality, Jack O'Neill convinced Teal'c to betray Apophis to save our lives. Teal'c gave up everything for the slim chance that we could help free his people from slavery.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It doesn't exactly look like we could help him do anything right now. Keep in mind that we just sent a bomb off to his planet. There might not be anything left for him to save.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Not in this universe.</blockquote>

[O'Neill turns away, and Daniel turns to Catherine, then back while O'Neill thinks about it.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You expect me to explain all this to him, don't you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
He's very smart. I'll bet he'll understand.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How do you know he's even remotely the same Jaffa you know in your universe?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Not everything's the same here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, it's not. But it is close. Look, I know what I am asking here, it's insane. 
(softly) 
Look, if you don't want to help, I understand. It's your lives and it's your world.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks at him as Carter and Hammond look on, resigned.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(shaking his head) 
All I really have to do is buy a little time, a few minutes to get the Gate open, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
That videotape of that Jaffa and you together should catch his attention.</blockquote>

[Daniel looks around and goes to the television monitor.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You're going to talk to this guy about alternate realities?</blockquote>

[O'Neill just shakes his head slightly.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(walks up to O'Neill) 
Do you really think he's right about this Jaffa?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He was right about my son.</blockquote>

[Daniel comes back and hands him the video camera. O'Neill takes it and looks at him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(sincerely) 
Thank you.</blockquote>

[O'Neill again shakes his head, disbelievingly, then looks at the assembled group.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I think this is where you all wish me good luck.</blockquote>

[O'Neill turns and walks away.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Jack.</blockquote>

[Carter walks over to O'Neill as he turns, and they embrace. Daniel stares dumbfoundedly at the two of them, then turns to look at Catherine.]

<blockquote>CATHERING 
I take it they're not engaged in your reality.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No.</blockquote>

[Daniel turns back and watches as O'Neill turns and leaves.]

Okay, I've got the dial—in time down another five seconds. Now all we need is that wormhole to destabilize.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Airman, we're going to need all the help we can get out there.</blockquote>

[The Airman leaves his post at the controls.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(to Carter) 
We should set the base autodestruct sequence to go off two minutes past the estimated window of opportunity for us to open the Stargate. If the Goa'ulds want this place in one piece, I intend to disappoint them.</blockquote>

[Carter inputs the orders into the computer as Catherine takes the seat vacated by the Airman. Momentarily, the computer displays the autodestruct message.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER'S VOICE 
Destruct sequence activated.</blockquote>

[Carter and Catherine look at the screen.]

'''INT—AU SGC—A ROOM SOMEWHERE ON BASE'''

[A television monitor replays the images of Teal'c walking around the Stargate room on P3R-233. O'Neill is at the controls of the video camera.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What sort of deception is this?</blockquote>

[Teal'c continues to stare at the monitor.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know it's a little hard to believe. But you guys are pretty advanced. You must know this alternate reality thing is possible, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(looks at O'Neill) 
I do not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, then how did this Daniel guy know your name? He says the guy in this video—you, I guess, in his world—hates being a slave to the Goa'ulds.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(uncertainly) 
Lies.</blockquote>

[Teal'c turns away from O'Neill clearly disturbed by what he's been told.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Look, I know this sounds insane. But you have a chance to change things in his world. We just need a little time, that's all. 
(He watches Teal'c ponder the idea.) 
This guy Daniel says the Teal'c in his world is a good man, that he betrayed the Goa'uld for a chance to free his people, to free his family. Your wife. Your son, Ryac.</blockquote>

[Teal'c turns to face O'Neill, anger in his eyes.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We received word from my home world. You sent a weapon of destruction there through your Stargate.</blockquote>

[O'Neill closes his eyes.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C

My people, my family are dead.</blockquote>

[Teal'c moves around to the Staff cannon, maneuvers it into position, and as O'Neill looks on, Teal'c fires.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Soon as I start the dial-in process, I'll join you. Go!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
If this mirror really is a doorway between our dimensions, I might be able to send help to you from my reality or have you come through to my Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Wait a second. If that device you brought is a remote control to the mirror, you may need it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Go ahead. I'll get it.</blockquote>

[Daniel watches Carter leave, then turns back to Catherine who is inputting information into the computer.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
(Looks at Daniel warmly.) 
You helped reunite me with Ernest in the other world?</blockquote>

[Daniel shrugs.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE

Come on!</blockquote>

[The iris opens and Daniel turns toward the control room just as Catherine is surrounded by Jaffa. The blast shield closes on the scene as he watches, while the Stargate whirrs and spins locking the third chevron code. Another staff blast at the door is heard, and Daniel backs up toward the ramp.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER VOICE 
Autodestruct in one minute.</blockquote>

[The computer displays the autodestruct countdown, and the Gate room's blast door is blown open. The fifth chevron locks in as Daniel stands waiting. Then Teal'c steps through the hole in the door and enters the Gate room weapon raised and aimed at Daniel. Daniel stares at him, while Teal'c stares back.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER VOICE 
Autodestruct in thirty seconds.</blockquote>

[Teal'c appears to hesitate, then the outgoing wormhole establishes itself. Daniel turns to it, and runs up the ramp. Teal'c charges his weapon, and fires, hitting Daniel just as he enters the event horizon. The blast shield to the control room raises and the Jaffa are working on the computer in an attempt to shut down the autodestruct.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER VOICE

[Daniel tumbles through the Gate and down the stairs. Crawling around the floor, he finally stands. His upper right arm is wounded. Holding on to it and coughing, he heads toward the artifact room.]

'''INT—AU P3R-233 ARTIFACT ROOM'''

[Daniel walks in and sees the mirror. It is still active. Rushing up to it, he holds his left hand up and touches the surface. The energy surges over him.]

'''INT—P3R-233 STARGATE ROOM'''

[SG-1 and other SGC personnel are searching the Gate room for Daniel using flashlights. O'Neill walks in from another room.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Any luck?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Nothing.</blockquote>

[Daniel is heard crying out. O'Neill, Carter, and Teal'c turn in that direction and hurry toward where they heard him.]

'''INT—P3R-233 ARTIFACT ROOM'''

[Daniel is lying on the floor in front of the mirror, clutching his arm. The mirror is dark.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel!</blockquote>

[O'Neill races in and kneels down by Daniel. Carter and Teal'c follow.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(examining Daniel's shoulder wound.) 
What the hell is this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It appears to have been caused by a staff weapon.</blockquote>

[Carter gently pulls a piece of paper out of Daniel's hand.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
This looks like a Stargate address.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks at Daniel.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right. Let's get him back to Earth.</blockquote>

[O'Neill starts to pull him up, but Daniel suddenly clutches his arm.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, Jack! 
(breathing heavily) 
We're all in very big trouble.</blockquote>

[O'Neill, Teal'c, and Carter look at him and each other, puzzled.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They're coming! They're coming.</blockquote>

Naquadah

2005-01-14T00:56:48Z

[[Category:Goa'uld]][[Category:Technology]]
[[Image:naquadah.jpg|178px|]]
==Naquadah==

Naquadah is the most prized mineral in the galaxy. Both the Ancients (who built the network of Stargates) and the Goa'uld (who exploit the network) used naquadah in the creation of their advanced technology.

The Ancients made the first practical application of the mineral with the creation of their network of interplanetary Stargates, constructed from refined naquadah ore, similar to quartz. Naquadah is a stable mineral, capable of many applications and uses, including the creation of weapons of mass destruction and the generation of seemingly limitless amounts of clean energy. In its refined state, a Stargate's naquadah only reacts with neutrinos – an electrically neutral particle – converting and storing energy as a large superconductor. Neutrinos are not affected by the electromagnetic forces that act on electrons and thus able to pass through great distances and through matter without noticeable effect. This energy is stored within a crystal lattice structure built into each Stargate.

Most Asgard energy sources stem from naquadah fusion-reactors which power their formidable motherships and hyper-space drives. The Asgard have constant dependable sources of naquadah within their home systems in the galaxy of Ida. The Asgard flagship 'O'Neill' – destroyed in battle with the Replicators – was constructed of a naquadah-trinium-carbon alloy which would have made it the most advanced design in the galaxy (4.01 "Small Victories").

The Goa'uld eventually discovered the mineral's potential and absorbed it into their technology. It is a staple of many of their devices and a cornerstone of their powerbase. Worlds rich with naquadah - such as Abydos - are therefore highly prized.

Naquadah is used to power all Goa'uld devices, providing an efficient source of energy. Jaffa staff and other weapons, Goa'uld motherships and other space vessels, communications and sarcophagi are all powered by naquadah. It is even found in the bloodstream of the Goa'uld, though it is not known how it came to be part of the symbiote genetic make-up. In excavations conducted by Dr. Daniel Jackson and Dr. Robert Rothman on P3X-888, the homeworld on which the primordial Goa'uld evolved, symbiotes survive to the present day and none have naquadah in their blood.

Those taken as hosts by Goa'uld symbiotes absorb some of the naquadah into their bloodstream. The presence of naquadah in the blood is the key which unlocks the most vital Goa'uld technology, including the controls of a mothership, and both the ribbon and healing devices. The energy contained within the mineral is tremendous: portable naquadah reactors can power cities (3.05 "Learning Curve" and 4.09 "Scorched Earth") and also construct explosives of terrible destructive power (4.09 "Scorched Earth" and 4.15 "Chain Reaction"). Allied with the host body's bio-electrical impulses, the energy contained within the naquadah in the bloodstream of host and symbiote renders these Goa'uld devices operable when touched (2.01 "The Serpent's Lair" and 2.06 "Thor's Chariot").

Goa'uld can detect the presence of naquadah within a host body. Hathor (3.01 "Into The Fire") and Seth (3.02 "Seth") both detected that Samantha Carter had been taken as a host. It can also be sensed within the Stargate itself. Hathor was drawn to the Stargate even though it was buried beneath Cheyenne Mountain (1.14 "Hathor").

Those taken as hosts by Goa'uld symbiotes absorb some of the naquadah into their bloodstream and even if freed from the parasite, retain the ability to sense that presence in others. This was first demonstrated by the orphaned Cassandra Fraiser, who sensed the Tok'ra symbiote Jolinar of Malkshur within Samantha Carter (1.02 "In The Line Of Duty") some time after a naquadah bomb constructed within her body by the System Lord Nirrti decayed and was absorbed into her bloodstream. Carter too has sensed the presense of naquadah within other beings. (2.05 "Need" and 5.08 "The Tomb")

Thus, the Goa'uld dependency on naquadah has become an inextricable part of their physiology and genetic makeup.

Col. Samantha Carter is Earth's foremost expert on the technological applications of naquadah. Working with the young Orbanian scientist Merrin, Carter developed the first Earth device powered by the mineral: a naquadah reactor. (3.05 "Learning Curve") Over time, Carter has perfected the design of the reactor to be an extremely portable as well as powerful power device. However, she has also been instrumental in more destructive experiments, firstly in overloading the reactor to make a bomb (4.09 "Scorched Earth") and secondly in enhancing the payload of a nuclear warhead (4.15 "Chain Reaction"). Naquadah has also made it possible for the United States Air Force to construct its first interstellar starship, the X-303, named Prometheus.

==Stargate: the Movie==

The Stargate was constructed of a mineral unlike any found on Earth. When the US Air Force team led by Col. Jack O'Neill and Dr. Daniel Jackson went through the Stargate to the world of Abydos, they discovered the entire indigenous slave population working a vast, and by Earth standards, primitive mine. Geological scans determined that the material the Abydonian people were mining was the same as that used to construct the Stargate.

Abydos was the principal world of the Supreme System Lord Ra. It may be deduced that much of his power over his fellow Goa'uld was derived from his control over vast deposits of this mineral.

==Hathor==

Hathor is apprehended by the SGC's security forces attempting to penetrate Cheyenne Mountain: she knows the Stargate is there. Questioned by General Hammond, Col. Jack O'Neill and Dr. Daniel Jackson, she reveals that she was "drawn" to the Stargate. Or rather, to the naquadah it was constructed from. She confirms that access to the Stargate network was what gave Ra his power among the System Lords.

==Singularity==

Cassandra is the only survivor of a bioweapon used by the System Lord Nirrti to wipe out the people of Hanka. Rescued by SG-1, she is brought back to the SGC where Dr. Janet Fraiser finds traces of naquadah in her blood. When Cassandra collapses with a marked potassium deficiency and pain in her chest, the medical team discover an odd mechanical pump-like sound in her heart. X-Ray reveals a device which had not been present only hours earlier. Capt. Samantha Carter contacts a microscopic particle of iron and potassium with naquadah. The result is a massive nuclear explosion. A similar biochemical reaction is occurring with Cassandra as the fatty layer separating the two sides of the device decays. The resultant explosion would be a million times more powerful. Deducing that the device would be triggered by taking Cassandra through the Stargate, SG-1 instead transport her to an abandoned nuclear facility. Safely away from the Stargate, the bomb dissipates and the naquadah is reabsorbed into Cassandra's system.

==In The Line Of Duty==

Capt. Samantha Carter is possessed by the Tok'ra symbiote Jolinar of Malkshur. Cassandra Fraiser, the Hankan orphan adopted by Dr. Janet Fraiser, is the first to sense something is wrong with Carter when the two meet up in Fraiser's office. Cassandra insists to Col. Jack O'Neill that Carter is a Goa'uld. It is the naquadah now within Carter that Cassandra can sense.

==Need==

On P3R-636, SG-1 observe as a shipment of mineral Teal'c believes to be naquadah is ceremonially despatched through the Stargate. Though SG-3 had previously discovered a small sample of the mineral previously, Carter reminds O'Neill of its importance to Stargate Command. Tailing the procession, SG-1 become entangled with Princess Shyla as she attempts suicide and are captured when Dr. Daniel Jackson rescues her. Shyla's father Pyrus sentences SG-1 to labour in his naquadah mines.

Duplicating Cassandra's ability to sense naquadah within others, Carter reveals that she senses no 'presence' within Pyrus or any of his so-called 'Jaffa' guards. They are all human, though Pyrus has used the sarcophagus technology to prolong his life and rule for more than 700 years. Periodically, they send shipments of naquadah through the Stargate in order to fool the Goa'uld into leaving their world in peace.

After being injured, it is through Shyla's manipulations that Daniel becomes addicted to the narcotic effects of the sarcophagus. Ultimately he and his friends are freed, taking back a sample of the precious naquadah with them, because Shyla believes Daniel will be forced to return to her or die from his withdrawal.

==Out Of Mind==

When SG-1 are taken prisoner by Hathor, they are revived from cryogenic suspended animation, convinced that they are 70 years into their own future and interrogated. As Carter has naquadah in her blood and can sense its presence within others, she is kept more dosed than either O'Neill or Daniel.

==Into The Fire==

Hathor senses from the naquadah particles in Carter's bloodstream that since their last meeting, she has been host to a Goa'uld.

==Learning Curve==

In an exchange of knowledge between the SGC and the people of Orban, the young scientist Merrin presents Carter with an advanced naquadah reactor to study. With the aid of cross-sections Merrin draws of the reactor, Carter is able to begin construction of a clean, powerful and portable generator.

==Foothold==

Carter proves resistant to anaesthesia as a result of the naquadah in her blood.

==The First Ones==

In an excavation on P3X-888, Dr. Daniel Jackson and Dr. Robert Rothman discover the fossilised remains of primordial predatory Goa'uld and deduce this is the world where the parasites evolved. They test the fossils for the presence of naquadah and find none, concluding that it must have become part of the Goa'uld genetic makeup later in their evolution. As Carter cannot sense the presence of the Goa'uld teeming in the bodies of water on P3X-888, it appears the aboriginal symbiotes do not have naquadah in their blood in the present day. The Goa'uld who have become the dominant parasitical species in our galaxy had the mineral introduced into their genetic makeup after leaving P3X-888.

==Scorched Earth==

The SGC provides a working naquadah generator to the Enkarans, giving them heat and power as they struggle to establish themselves on a new world. When a technologically advanced alien ship begins terraforming the planet and threatening the Enkarans' survival, O'Neill orders Carter to make the reactor into a bomb. She theorises that if she creates a feedback loop, the energy would build up instead of being released as intended, creating a massive explosion.

==Chain Reaction==

Carter has made progress on her research into naquadah reactors: large-scale application is theoretical but the mineral has incredible potential as an alternative power source. General Bauer, Hammond's replacement at the SGC, is more interested in the ability of naquadah to increase the explosive effect of nuclear ordinance. When weapons grade naquadah is obtained, Carter must enhance a nuclear warhead in order to determine the destructive capabilities of naquadah.

She is shocked and furious when Daniel discovers that the planet chosen to conduct the weapons test has an old Goa'uld mine and thus naquadah present in its soil which would cause a chain reaction and possibly destroy the entire planet. For Bauer, this is the point: Goa'uld occupied worlds tend to have significant levels of naquadah and this could prove a very effective weapon against them.

Carter warns that the effects of the chain reaction could be translated back through the wormhole to the SGC. The explosion caused by the naquadah chain reaction is immense and as predicted, the Stargate does not disconnect. Ultra-high frequency gamma radiation bombards the gate room, slowed only by closing the iris. Even destroying the SGC and Cheyenne Mountain would not be enough to stop the Stargate pumping through radiation from what Carter theorises to be the test world reduced to a ball of super-heated plasma capable of powering the Stargate for months.

Earth is saved only by the 38-minute window: the longest period for which a wormhole may remain engaged.

==The Tomb==

Carter and Teal'c are able to sense the presence of the Goa'uld symbiote Marduk when SG-1 and a Russian team are trapped with it inside an ancient ziggurat.

==Desperate Measures==

A kidnapped Carter proves resistant to anaesthesia and unusually strong for a human, a legacy of the naquadah in her bloodstream.

==Failsafe==

When Earth is threatened with destruction by a giant asteroid on a collision course, it is revealed that the experiment Bauer forced Carter to conduct was not in vain. The SGC's response is to despatch SG-1 in a captured Goa'uld cargo vessel to destroy the asteroid with a 1200 megaton naquadah-enhanced nuclear warhead. It's the most powerful warhead ever created, the equivalent of 1 billion tons of TNT.

The cargo vessel's final approach to the asteroid proves to be faster than expected leading Carter to discover its gravity field is far stronger than it should be. The core of the asteroid is made of something denser than nickel and iron: naquadah, 45% of its total mass. As naquadah does not occur naturally in Earth's solar system, SG-1 realise that the asteroid is not a natural phenomenon but a Goa'uld set-up.

By simulating a natural disaster, the attacking Goa'uld could circumvent the Asgard Protected Planets Treaty shielding Earth. The naquadah-enhanced explosion resulting from SG-1's deployment of the nuclear weapon would have the force of a small nova, setting Earth's atmosphere on fire and boiling the oceans.

SG-1's radio signals can't penetrate that much solid naquadah.

Daniel's solution to this problem is ingenious: a hyper-space jump through the Earth, towing the asteroid along with the cargo ship.

==Meridian==

On Kelowna, SG-1 learn of the existence of naquadria, a highly unstable, intensely radioactive variant of naquadah with the potential for great bursts of energy. The Kelownans were using the naquadria to construct a bomb of similar destructive capability as a naquadah-enhanced nuclear warhead. After doing some calculations, Carter explains the incredible potential of naquadria:

''CARTER: The potential's astronomical, sir. Even a very small amount of the unstable element they're working with emitted a pulse of energy far greater than anything I've ever believed possible. Much more than weapons grade naquadah would have. It would require a massive nuclear reaction to even approach this level.''

''O'NEILL: So?''

''CARTER: Sir, this could be the missing link we've been looking for in terms of generating the kind of energy I believe is necessary to create a hyperspace window. Or, to generate and sustain the kind of shields the Goa'uld have been using to protect their ships. Sir, we have to get some of this element.''

When the bomb malfunctions, Dr. Daniel Jackson gives his life to save the Kelownans, going into the laboratory and exposing himself to a fatal dose of radiation to shut down the bomb. The Kelownan government blame him for the disaster and it is only through O'Neill's intervention to clear Daniel's name that Kelownan ethicist Jonas Quinn comes to the Earth seeking sanctuary, insight into the threat posed by the Goa'uld (a Goa'uld civilisation was destroyed on his world ironically through a catastrophic naquadria explosion) and bearing a small sample of the rare and precious naquadria which the SGC is seeking in order to build defence shields.

==Orpheus==

Master Bra'tac and Teal'c's son Ry'ac are recruiting rebel Jaffa working a naquadah refinery on Erebus when they are captured by the System Lord Ba'al's forces. Erebus is a death camp – Jaffa unwilling to serve Ba'al are literally worked to death there, slaving on the construction of a Ha'tak mothership. Only Jaffa prisoner labour is used to purify the naquadah, as they are the only ones who can stand the intense heat and toxic gases of the blast furnaces fed by underground volcanic systems. Eventually even the Jaffa succumb.

==Enemy Mine==

On P3X-403, the SG-11 survey team headed by Colonel Edwards discovers a naquadah mine that could yield enough of the rare, off-world mineral to build numerous X-303 interstellar battle cruisers like the Prometheus. The loss of one of his men prompts him to send for SG-1 and SG-3. Dr. Daniel Jackson finds artefacts suggesting the presence of Unas and he is proven correct when the SG teams clash with a large, aggressive clan. With the aid of the Unas Chaka, Daniel communicates with Iron Shirt, leader of the Unas clan, discovering that the mine is sacred to them. However, the mine is viable, with the potential to yield 53,000 metric tons of naquadah.

When Iron Shirt is revealed to be the leader of an enormous population of Unas, the Pentagon's plan to forcibly relocate them is aborted. Facing imminent massacre, Daniel negotiates with Iron Shirt: the Unas will work the mine in which their ancestors died for naquadah which the SGC will use to build weapons and ships to destroy the Goa'uld, their enslavers and common enemy.

Geological scans determined that the material the Abydonian people were mining was the same as that used to construct the Stargate.

Abydos was the principal world of the Supreme System Lord Ra. It may be deduced that much of his power over his fellow Goa'uld was derived from his control over vast deposits of this mineral.

==Hathor==

Hathor is apprehended by the SGC's security forces attempting to penetrate Cheyenne Mountain: she knows the Stargate is there. Questioned by General Hammond, Col. Jack O'Neill and Dr. Daniel Jackson, she reveals that she was "drawn" to the Stargate. Or rather, to the naquadah it was constructed from. She confirms that access to the Stargate network was what gave Ra his power among the System Lords.

==Singularity==

Cassandra is the only survivor of a bioweapon used by the System Lord Nirrti to wipe out the people of Hanka. Rescued by SG-1, she is brought back to the SGC where Dr. Janet Fraiser finds traces of naquadah in her blood. When Cassandra collapses with a marked potassium deficiency and pain in her chest, the medical team discover an odd mechanical pump-like sound in her heart. X-Ray reveals a device which had not been present only hours earlier. Capt. Samantha Carter contacts a microscopic particle of iron and potassium with naquadah. The result is a massive nuclear explosion. A similar biochemical reaction is occurring with Cassandra as the fatty layer separating the two sides of the device decays. The resultant explosion would be a million times more powerful. Deducing that the device would be triggered by taking Cassandra through the Stargate, SG-1 instead transport her to an abandoned nuclear facility. Safely away from the Stargate, the bomb dissipates and the naquadah is reabsorbed into Cassandra's system.

==In The Line Of Duty==

Capt. Samantha Carter is possessed by the Tok'ra symbiote Jolinar of Malkshur. Cassandra Fraiser, the Hankan orphan adopted by Dr. Janet Fraiser, is the first to sense something is wrong with Carter when the two meet up in Fraiser's office. Cassandra insists to Col. Jack O'Neill that Carter is a Goa'uld. It is the naquadah now within Carter that Cassandra can sense.

==Need==

On P3R-636, SG-1 observe as a shipment of mineral Teal'c believes to be naquadah is ceremonially despatched through the Stargate. Though SG-3 had previously discovered a small sample of the mineral previously, Carter reminds O'Neill of its importance to Stargate Command. Tailing the procession, SG-1 become entangled with Princess Shyla as she attempts suicide and are captured when Dr. Daniel Jackson rescues her. Shyla's father Pyrus sentences SG-1 to labour in his naquadah mines.

Duplicating Cassandra's ability to sense naquadah within others, Carter reveals that she senses no 'presence' within Pyrus or any of his so-called 'Jaffa' guards. They are all human, though Pyrus has used the sarcophagus technology to prolong his life and rule for more than 700 years. Periodically, they send shipments of naquadah through the Stargate in order to fool the Goa'uld into leaving their world in peace.

After being injured, it is through Shyla's manipulations that Daniel becomes addicted to the narcotic effects of the sarcophagus. Ultimately he and his friends are freed, taking back a sample of the precious naquadah with them, because Shyla believes Daniel will be forced to return to her or die from his withdrawal.

==Out Of Mind==

When SG-1 are taken prisoner by Hathor, they are revived from cryogenic suspended animation, convinced that they are 70 years into their own future and interrogated. As Carter has naquadah in her blood and can sense its presence within others, she is kept more dosed than either O'Neill or Daniel.

==Into The Fire==

Hathor senses from the naquadah particles in Carter's bloodstream that since their last meeting, she has been host to a Goa'uld.

==Learning Curve==

In an exchange of knowledge between the SGC and the people of Orban, the young scientist Merrin presents Carter with an advanced naquadah reactor to study. With the aid of cross-sections Merrin draws of the reactor, Carter is able to begin construction of a clean, powerful and portable generator.

==Foothold==

Carter proves resistant to anaesthesia as a result of the naquadah in her blood.

==The First Ones==

In an excavation on P3X-888, Dr. Daniel Jackson and Dr. Robert Rothman discover the fossilised remains of primordial predatory Goa'uld and deduce this is the world where the parasites evolved. They test the fossils for the presence of naquadah and find none, concluding that it must have become part of the Goa'uld genetic makeup later in their evolution. As Carter cannot sense the presence of the Goa'uld teeming in the bodies of water on P3X-888, it appears the aboriginal symbiotes do not have naquadah in their blood in the present day. The Goa'uld who have become the dominant parasitical species in our galaxy had the mineral introduced into their genetic makeup after leaving P3X-888.

==Scorched Earth==

The SGC provides a working naquadah generator to the Enkarans, giving them heat and power as they struggle to establish themselves on a new world. When a technologically advanced alien ship begins terraforming the planet and threatening the Enkarans' survival, O'Neill orders Carter to make the reactor into a bomb. She theorises that if she creates a feedback loop, the energy would build up instead of being released as intended, creating a massive explosion.

==Chain Reaction==

Carter has made progress on her research into naquadah reactors: large-scale application is theoretical but the mineral has incredible potential as an alternative power source. General Bauer, Hammond's replacement at the SGC, is more interested in the ability of naquadah to increase the explosive effect of nuclear ordinance. When weapons grade naquadah is obtained, Carter must enhance a nuclear warhead in order to determine the destructive capabilities of naquadah.

She is shocked and furious when Daniel discovers that the planet chosen to conduct the weapons test has an old Goa'uld mine and thus naquadah present in its soil which would cause a chain reaction and possibly destroy the entire planet. For Bauer, this is the point: Goa'uld occupied worlds tend to have significant levels of naquadah and this could prove a very effective weapon against them.

Carter warns that the effects of the chain reaction could be translated back through the wormhole to the SGC. The explosion caused by the naquadah chain reaction is immense and as predicted, the Stargate does not disconnect. Ultra-high frequency gamma radiation bombards the gate room, slowed only by closing the iris. Even destroying the SGC and Cheyenne Mountain would not be enough to stop the Stargate pumping through radiation from what Carter theorises to be the test world reduced to a ball of super-heated plasma capable of powering the Stargate for months.

Earth is saved only by the 38-minute window: the longest period for which a wormhole may remain engaged.

==The Tomb==

Carter and Teal'c are able to sense the presence of the Goa'uld symbiote Marduk when SG-1 and a Russian team are trapped with it inside an ancient ziggurat.

==Desperate Measures==

A kidnapped Carter proves resistant to anaesthesia and unusually strong for a human, a legacy of the naquadah in her bloodstream.

==Failsafe==

When Earth is threatened with destruction by a giant asteroid on a collision course, it is revealed that the experiment Bauer forced Carter to conduct was not in vain. The SGC's response is to despatch SG-1 in a captured Goa'uld cargo vessel to destroy the asteroid with a 1200 megaton naquadah-enhanced nuclear warhead. It's the most powerful warhead ever created, the equivalent of 1 billion tons of TNT.

The cargo vessel's final approach to the asteroid proves to be faster than expected leading Carter to discover its gravity field is far stronger than it should be. The core of the asteroid is made of something denser than nickel and iron: naquadah, 45% of its total mass. As naquadah does not occur naturally in Earth's solar system, SG-1 realise that the asteroid is not a natural phenomenon but a Goa'uld set-up.

By simulating a natural disaster, the attacking Goa'uld could circumvent the Asgard Protected Planets Treaty shielding Earth. The naquadah-enhanced explosion resulting from SG-1's deployment of the nuclear weapon would have the force of a small nova, setting Earth's atmosphere on fire and boiling the oceans.

SG-1's radio signals can't penetrate that much solid naquadah.

Daniel's solution to this problem is ingenious: a hyper-space jump through the Earth, towing the asteroid along with the cargo ship.

==Meridian==

On Kelowna, SG-1 learn of the existence of naquadria, a highly unstable, intensely radioactive variant of naquadah with the potential for great bursts of energy. The Kelownans were using the naquadria to construct a bomb of similar destructive capability as a naquadah-enhanced nuclear warhead. After doing some calculations, Carter explains the incredible potential of naquadria:

''CARTER: The potential's astronomical, sir. Even a very small amount of the unstable element they're working with emitted a pulse of energy far greater than anything I've ever believed possible. Much more than weapons grade naquadah would have. It would require a massive nuclear reaction to even approach this level.''

''O'NEILL: So?''

''CARTER: Sir, this could be the missing link we've been looking for in terms of generating the kind of energy I believe is necessary to create a hyperspace window. Or, to generate and sustain the kind of shields the Goa'uld have been using to protect their ships. Sir, we have to get some of this element.''

When the bomb malfunctions, Dr. Daniel Jackson gives his life to save the Kelownans, going into the laboratory and exposing himself to a fatal dose of radiation to shut down the bomb. The Kelownan government blame him for the disaster and it is only through O'Neill's intervention to clear Daniel's name that Kelownan ethicist Jonas Quinn comes to the Earth seeking sanctuary, insight into the threat posed by the Goa'uld (a Goa'uld civilisation was destroyed on his world ironically through a catastrophic naquadria explosion) and bearing a small sample of the rare and precious naquadria which the SGC is seeking in order to build defence shields.

==Orpheus==

Master Bra'tac and Teal'c's son Ry'ac are recruiting rebel Jaffa working a naquadah refinery on Erebus when they are captured by the System Lord Ba'al's forces. Erebus is a death camp – Jaffa unwilling to serve Ba'al are literally worked to death there, slaving on the construction of a Ha'tak mothership. Only Jaffa prisoner labour is used to purify the naquadah, as they are the only ones who can stand the intense heat and toxic gases of the blast furnaces fed by underground volcanic systems. Eventually even the Jaffa succumb.

==Enemy Mine==

On P3X-403, the SG-11 survey team headed by Colonel Edwards discovers a naquadah mine that could yield enough of the rare, off-world mineral to build numerous X-303 interstellar battle cruisers like the Prometheus. The loss of one of his men prompts him to send for SG-1 and SG-3. Dr. Daniel Jackson finds artefacts suggesting the presence of Unas and he is proven correct when the SG teams clash with a large, aggressive clan. With the aid of the Unas Chaka, Daniel communicates with Iron Shirt, leader of the Unas clan, discovering that the mine is sacred to them. However, the mine is viable, with the potential to yield 53,000 metric tons of naquadah.

When Iron Shirt is revealed to be the leader of an enormous population of Unas, the Pentagon's plan to forcibly relocate them is aborted. Facing imminent massacre, Daniel negotiates with Iron Shirt: the Unas will work the mine in which their ancestors died for naquadah which the SGC will use to build weapons and ships to destroy the Goa'uld, their enslavers and common enemy.

Naquadah

==Naquadah==

Naquadah is the most prized mineral in the galaxy. Both the Ancients (who built the network of Stargates) and the Goa'uld (who exploit the network) used naquadah in the creation of their advanced technology.

The Ancients made the first practical application of the mineral with the creation of their network of interplanetary Stargates, constructed from refined naquadah ore, similar to quartz. Naquadah us a stable mineral, capable of many applications and uses, including the creation of weapons of mass destruction and the generation of seemingly limitless amounts of clean energy. In its refined state, a Stargate's naquadah only reacts with neutrinos – an electrically neutral particle – converting and storing energy as a large superconductor. Neutrinos are not affected by the electromagnetic forces that act on electrons and thus able to pass through great distances and through matter without noticeable effect. This energy is stored within a crystal lattice structure built into each Stargate.

Most Asgard energy sources stem from naquadah fusion-reactors which power their formidable motherships and hyper-space drives. The Asgard have constant dependable sources of naquadah within their home systems in the galaxy of Ida. The Asgard flagship 'O'Neill' – destroyed in battle with the Replicators – was constructed of a naquadah-trinium-carbon alloy which would have made it the most advanced design in the galaxy. The 'O'Neill' was later superseded by the 'Daniel Jackson.'

The Goa'uld eventually discovered the mineral's potential and absorbed it into their technology. It is a staple of many of their devices and a cornerstone of their powerbase. Worlds rich with naquadah - such as Abydos - are therefore highly prized.

Naquadah is used to power all Goa'uld devices, providing an efficient source of energy. Jaffa staff and other weapons, Goa'uld motherships and other space vessels, communications and sarcophagi are all powered by naquadah. It is even found in the bloodstream of the Goa'uld, though it is not known how it came to be part of the symbiote genetic make-up. In excavations conducted by Dr. Daniel Jackson and Dr. Robert Rothman on P3X-888, the homeworld on which the primordial Goa'uld evolved, symbiotes survive to the present day and none have naquadah in their blood.

Those taken as hosts by Goa'uld symbiotes absorb some of the naquadah into their bloodstream. The presence of naquadah in the blood is the key which unlocks the most vital Goa'uld technology, including the controls of a mothership, and both the ribbon and healing devices. The energy contained within the mineral is tremendous: portable naquadah reactors can power cities (3.05 "Learning Curve" and 4.09 "Scorched Earth") and also construct explosives of terrible destructive power (4.09 "Scorched Earth" and 4.15 "Chain Reaction"). Allied with the host body's bio-electrical impulses, the energy contained within the naquadah in the bloodstream of host and symbiote renders these Goa'uld devices operable when touched (2.01 "The Serpent's Lair" and 2.06 "Thor's Chariot").

Goa'uld can detect the presence of naquadah within a host body. Hathor (3.01 "Into The Fire") and Seth (3.02 "Seth") both detected that Samantha Carter had been taken as a host. It can also be sensed within the Stargate itself. Hathor was drawn to the Stargate even though it was buried beneath Cheyenne Mountain (1.14 "Hathor").

Those taken as hosts by Goa'uld symbiotes absorb some of the naquadah into their bloodstream and even if freed from the parasite, retain the ability to sense that presence in others. This was first demonstrated by the orphaned Cassandra Fraiser, who sensed the Tok'ra symbiote Jolinar of Malkshur within Samantha Carter (1.02 "In The Line Of Duty") some time after a naquadah bomb constructed within her body by the System Lord Nirrti decayed and was absorbed into her bloodstream. Carter too has sensed the presense of naquadah within other beings. (2.05 "Need" and 5.08 "The Tomb")

Thus, the Goa'uld dependency on naquadah has become an inextricable part of their physiology and genetic makeup.

Col. Samantha Carter is Earth's foremost expert on the technological applications of naquadah. Working with the young Orbanian scientist Merrin, Carter developed the first Earth device powered by the mineral: a naquadah reactor. (3.05 "Learning Curve") Over time, Carter has perfected the design of the reactor to be an extremely portable as well as powerful power device. However, she has also been instrumental in more destructive experiments, firstly in overloading the reactor to make a bomb (4.09 "Scorched Earth") and secondly in enhancing the payload of a nuclear warhead (4.15 "Chain Reaction"). Naquadah has also made it possible for the United States Air Force to construct its first interstellar starship, the X-303, named Prometheus.

==Naquadah==

Naquadah is the most prized mineral in the galaxy. Both the Ancients (who built the network of Stargates) and the Goa'uld (who exploit the network) used naquadah in the creation of their advanced technology.

The Ancients made the first practical application of the mineral with the creation of their network of interplanetary Stargates, constructed from refined naquadah ore, similar to quartz. Naquadah us a stable mineral, capable of many applications and uses, including the creation of weapons of mass destruction and the generation of seemingly limitless amounts of clean energy. In its refined state, a Stargate's naquadah only reacts with neutrinos – an electrically neutral particle – converting and storing energy as a large superconductor. Neutrinos are not affected by the electromagnetic forces that act on electrons and thus able to pass through great distances and through matter without noticeable effect. This energy is stored within a crystal lattice structure built into each Stargate.

Most Asgard energy sources stem from naquadah fusion-reactors which power their formidable motherships and hyper-space drives. The Asgard have constant dependable sources of naquadah within their home systems in the galaxy of Ida. The Asgard flagship 'O'Neill' – destroyed in battle with the Replicators – was constructed of a naquadah-trinium-carbon alloy which would have made it the most advanced design in the galaxy. The 'O'Neill' was later superseded by the 'Daniel Jackson.'

The Goa'uld eventually discovered the mineral's potential and absorbed it into their technology. It is a staple of many of their devices and a cornerstone of their powerbase. Worlds rich with naquadah - such as Abydos - are therefore highly prized.

Naquadah is used to power all Goa'uld devices, providing an efficient source of energy. Jaffa staff and other weapons, Goa'uld motherships and other space vessels, communications and sarcophagi are all powered by naquadah. It is even found in the bloodstream of the Goa'uld, though it is not known how it came to be part of the symbiote genetic make-up. In excavations conducted by Dr. Daniel Jackson and Dr. Robert Rothman on P3X-888, the homeworld on which the primordial Goa'uld evolved, symbiotes survive to the present day and none have naquadah in their blood.

Those taken as hosts by Goa'uld symbiotes absorb some of the naquadah into their bloodstream. The presence of naquadah in the blood is the key which unlocks the most vital Goa'uld technology, including the controls of a mothership, and both the ribbon and healing devices. The energy contained within the mineral is tremendous: portable naquadah reactors can power cities (3.05 "Learning Curve" and 4.09 "Scorched Earth") and also construct explosives of terrible destructive power (4.09 "Scorched Earth" and 4.15 "Chain Reaction"). Allied with the host body's bio-electrical impulses, the energy contained within the naquadah in the bloodstream of host and symbiote renders these Goa'uld devices operable when touched (2.01 "The Serpent's Lair" and 2.06 "Thor's Chariot").

Goa'uld can detect the presence of naquadah within a host body. Hathor (3.01 "Into The Fire") and Seth (3.02 "Seth") both detected that Samantha Carter had been taken as a host. It can also be sensed within the Stargate itself. Hathor was drawn to the Stargate even though it was buried beneath Cheyenne Mountain (1.14 "Hathor").

Those taken as hosts by Goa'uld symbiotes absorb some of the naquadah into their bloodstream and even if freed from the parasite, retain the ability to sense that presence in others. This was first demonstrated by the orphaned Cassandra Fraiser, who sensed the Tok'ra symbiote Jolinar of Malkshur within Samantha Carter (1.02 "In The Line Of Duty") some time after a naquadah bomb constructed within her body by the System Lord Nirrti decayed and was absorbed into her bloodstream. Carter too has sensed the presense of naquadah within other beings. (2.05 "Need" and 5.08 "The Tomb")

Thus, the Goa'uld dependency on naquadah has become an inextricable part of their physiology and genetic makeup.

Col. Samantha Carter is Earth's foremost expert on the technological applications of naquadah. Working with the young Orbanian scientist Merrin, Carter developed the first Earth device powered by the mineral: a naquadah reactor. (3.05 "Learning Curve") Over time, Carter has perfected the design of the reactor to be an extremely portable as well as powerful power device. However, she has also been instrumental in more destructive experiments, firstly in overloading the reactor to make a bomb (4.09 "Scorched Earth") and secondly in enhancing the payload of a nuclear warhead (4.15 "Chain Reaction"). Naquadah has also made it possible for the United States Air Force to construct its first interstellar starship, the X-303, named Prometheus.

==Stargate: the Movie==

The Stargate was constructed of a mineral unlike any found on Earth. When the US Air Force team led by Col. Jack O'Neill and Dr. Daniel Jackson went through the Stargate to the world of Abydos, they discovered the entire indigenous slave population working a vast, and by Earth standards, primitive mine. Geological scans determined that the material the Abydonian people were mining was the same as that used to construct the Stargate.

Abydos was the principal world of the Supreme System Lord Ra. It may be deduced that much of his power over his fellow Goa'uld was derived from his control over vast deposits of this mineral.

==Hathor==

Hathor is apprehended by the SGC's security forces attempting to penetrate Cheyenne Mountain: she knows the Stargate is there. Questioned by General Hammond, Col. Jack O'Neill and Dr. Daniel Jackson, she reveals that she was "drawn" to the Stargate. Or rather, to the naquadah it was constructed from. She confirms that access to the Stargate network was what gave Ra his power among the System Lords.

==Singularity==

Cassandra is the only survivor of a bioweapon used by the System Lord Nirrti to wipe out the people of Hanka. Rescued by SG-1, she is brought back to the SGC where Dr. Janet Fraiser finds traces of naquadah in her blood. When Cassandra collapses with a marked potassium deficiency and pain in her chest, the medical team discover an odd mechanical pump-like sound in her heart. X-Ray reveals a device which had not been present only hours earlier. Capt. Samantha Carter contacts a microscopic particle of iron and potassium with naquadah. The result is a massive nuclear explosion. A similar biochemical reaction is occurring with Cassandra as the fatty layer separating the two sides of the device decays. The resultant explosion would be a million times more powerful. Deducing that the device would be triggered by taking Cassandra through the Stargate, SG-1 instead transport her to an abandoned nuclear facility. Safely away from the Stargate, the bomb dissipates and the naquadah is reabsorbed into Cassandra's system.

==In The Line Of Duty==

Capt. Samantha Carter is possessed by the Tok'ra symbiote Jolinar of Malkshur. Cassandra Fraiser, the Hankan orphan adopted by Dr. Janet Fraiser, is the first to sense something is wrong with Carter when the two meet up in Fraiser's office. Cassandra insists to Col. Jack O'Neill that Carter is a Goa'uld. It is the naquadah now within Carter that Cassandra can sense.

==Need==

On P3R-636, SG-1 observe as a shipment of mineral Teal'c believes to be naquadah is ceremonially despatched through the Stargate. Though SG-3 had previously discovered a small sample of the mineral previously, Carter reminds O'Neill of its importance to Stargate Command. Tailing the procession, SG-1 become entangled with Princess Shyla as she attempts suicide and are captured when Dr. Daniel Jackson rescues her. Shyla's father Pyrus sentences SG-1 to labour in his naquadah mines.

Duplicating Cassandra's ability to sense naquadah within others, Carter reveals that she senses no 'presence' within Pyrus or any of his so-called 'Jaffa' guards. They are all human, though Pyrus has used the sarcophagus technology to prolong his life and rule for more than 700 years. Periodically, they send shipments of naquadah through the Stargate in order to fool the Goa'uld into leaving their world in peace.

After being injured, it is through Shyla's manipulations that Daniel becomes addicted to the narcotic effects of the sarcophagus. Ultimately he and his friends are freed, taking back a sample of the precious naquadah with them, because Shyla believes Daniel will be forced to return to her or die from his withdrawal.

==Out Of Mind==

When SG-1 are taken prisoner by Hathor, they are revived from cryogenic suspended animation, convinced that they are 70 years into their own future and interrogated. As Carter has naquadah in her blood and can sense its presence within others, she is kept more dosed than either O'Neill or Daniel.

==Into The Fire==

Hathor senses from the naquadah particles in Carter's bloodstream that since their last meeting, she has been host to a Goa'uld.

==Learning Curve==

In an exchange of knowledge between the SGC and the people of Orban, the young scientist Merrin presents Carter with an advanced naquadah reactor to study. With the aid of cross-sections Merrin draws of the reactor, Carter is able to begin construction of a clean, limitless and portable power generator.

==Foothold==

Carter proves resistant to anaesthesia as a result of the naquadah in her blood.

==The First Ones==

In an excavation on P3X-888, Dr. Daniel Jackson and Dr. Robert Rothman discover the fossilised remains of primordial predatory Goa'uld and deduce this is the world where the parasites evolved. They test the fossils for the presence of naquadah and find none, concluding that it must have become part of the Goa'uld genetic makeup later in their evolution. As Carter cannot sense the presence of the Goa'uld teeming in the bodies of water on P3X-888, it appears the aboriginal symbiotes do not have naquadah in their blood in the present day. The Goa'uld who have become the dominant parasitical species in our galaxy had the mineral introduced into their genetic makeup after leaving P3X-888.

==Scorched Earth==

The SGC provides a working naquadah generator to the Enkarans, giving them heat and power as they struggle to establish themselves on a new world. When a technologically advanced alien ship begins terraforming the planet and threatening the Enkarans' survival, O'Neill orders Carter to make the reactor into a bomb. She theorises that if she creates a feedback loop, the energy would build up instead of being released as intended, creating a massive explosion.

==Chain Reaction==

Carter has made progress on her research into naquadah reactors: large-scale application is theoretical but the mineral has incredible potential as an alternative power source. General Bauer, Hammond's replacement at the SGC, is more interested in the ability of naquadah to increase the explosive effect of nuclear ordinance. When weapons grade naquadah is obtained, Carter must enhance a nuclear warhead in order to determine the destructive capabilities of naquadah.

She is shocked and furious when Daniel discovers that the planet chosen to conduct the weapons test has an old Goa'uld mine and thus naquadah present in its soil which would cause a chain reaction and possibly destroy the entire planet. For Bauer, this is the point: Goa'uld occupied worlds tend to have significant levels of naquadah and this could prove a very effective weapon against them.

Carter warns that the effects of the chain reaction could be translated back through the wormhole to the SGC. The explosion caused by the naquadah chain reaction is immense and as predicted, the Stargate does not disconnect. Ultra-high frequency gamma radiation bombards the gate room, slowed only by closing the iris. Even destroying the SGC and Cheyenne Mountain would not be enough to stop the Stargate pumping through radiation from what Carter theorises to be the test world reduced to a ball of super-heated plasma capable of powering the Stargate for months.

Earth is saved only by the 38-minute window: the longest period for which a wormhole may remain engaged.

==The Tomb==

Carter and Teal'c are able to sense the presence of the Goa'uld symbiote Marduk when SG-1 and a Russian team are trapped with it inside an ancient ziggurat.

==Desperate Measures==

A kidnapped Carter proves resistant to anaesthesia and unusually strong for a human, a legacy of the naquadah in her bloodstream.

==Failsafe==

When Earth is threatened with destruction by a giant asteroid on a collision course, it is revealed that the experiment Bauer forced Carter to conduct was not in vain. The SGC's response is to despatch SG-1 in a captured Goa'uld cargo vessel to destroy the asteroid with a 1200 megaton naquadah-enhanced nuclear warhead. It's the most powerful warhead ever created, the equivalent of 1 billion tons of TNT.

The cargo vessel's final approach to the asteroid proves to be faster than expected leading Carter to discover its gravity field is far stronger than it should be. The core of the asteroid is made of something denser than nickel and iron: naquadah, 45% of its total mass. As naquadah does not occur naturally in Earth's solar system, SG-1 realise that the asteroid is not a natural phenomenon but a Goa'uld set-up.

By simulating a natural disaster, the attacking Goa'uld could circumvent the Asgard Protected Planets Treaty shielding Earth. The naquadah-enhanced explosion resulting from SG-1's deployment of the nuclear weapon would have the force of a small nova, setting Earth's atmosphere on fire and boiling the oceans.

SG-1's radio signals can't penetrate that much solid naquadah.

Daniel's solution to this problem is ingenious: a hyper-space jump through the Earth, towing the asteroid along with the cargo ship.

==Meridian==

On Kelowna, SG-1 learn of the existence of naquadria, a highly unstable, intensely radioactive variant of naquadah with the potential for great bursts of energy. The Kelownans were using the naquadria to construct a bomb of similar destructive capability as a naquadah-enhanced nuclear warhead. After doing some calculations, Carter explains the incredible potential of naquadria:

''CARTER: The potential's astronomical, sir. Even a very small amount of the unstable element they're working with emitted a pulse of energy far greater than anything I've ever believed possible. Much more than weapons grade naquadah would have. It would require a massive nuclear reaction to even approach this level.''

''O'NEILL: So?''

''CARTER: Sir, this could be the missing link we've been looking for in terms of generating the kind of energy I believe is necessary to create a hyperspace window. Or, to generate and sustain the kind of shields the Goa'uld have been using to protect their ships. Sir, we have to get some of this element.''

When the bomb malfunctions, Dr. Daniel Jackson gives his life to save the Kelownans, going into the laboratory and exposing himself to a fatal dose of radiation to shut down the bomb. The Kelownan government blame him for the disaster and it is only through O'Neill's intervention to clear Daniel's name that Kelownan ethicist Jonas Quinn comes to the Earth seeking sanctuary, insight into the threat posed by the Goa'uld (a Goa'uld civilisation was destroyed on his world ironically through a catastrophic naquadria explosion) and bearing a small sample of the rare and precious naquadria which the SGC is seeking in order to build defence shields.

==Orpheus==

Master Bra'tac and Teal'c's son Ry'ac are recruiting rebel Jaffa working a naquadah refinery on Erebus when they are captured by the System Lord Ba'al's forces. Erebus is a death camp – Jaffa unwilling to serve Ba'al are literally worked to death there, slaving on the construction of a Ha'tak mothership. Only Jaffa prisoner labour is used to purify the naquadah, as they are the only ones who can stand the intense heat and toxic gases of the blast furnaces fed by underground volcanic systems. Eventually even the Jaffa succumb.

==Enemy Mine==

On P3X-403, the SG-11 survey team headed by Colonel Edwards discovers a naquadah mine that could yield enough of the rare, off-world mineral to build numerous X-303 interstellar battle cruisers like the Prometheus. The loss of one of his men prompts him to send for SG-1 and SG-3. Dr. Daniel Jackson finds artefacts suggesting the presence of Unas and he is proven correct when the SG teams clash with a large, aggressive clan. With the aid of the Unas Chaka, Daniel communicates with Iron Shirt, leader of the Unas clan, discovering that the mine is sacred to them. However, the mine is viable, with the potential to yield 53,000 metric tons of naquadah.

When Iron Shirt is revealed to be the leader of an enormous population of Unas, the Pentagon's plan to forcibly relocate them is aborted. Facing imminent massacre, Daniel negotiates with Iron Shirt: the Unas will work the mine in which their ancestors died for naquadah which the SGC will use to build weapons and ships to destroy the Goa'uld, their enslavers and common enemy.

When the bomb malfunctions, Dr. Daniel Jackson gives his life to save the Kelownans, going into the laboratory and exposing himself to a fatal dose of radiation to shut down the bomb. The Kelownan government blame him for the disaster and it is only through O'Neill's intervention to clear Daniel's name that Kelownan ethicist Jonas Quinn comes to the Earth seeking sanctuary, insight into the threat posed by the Goa'uld (a Goa'uld civilisation was destroyed on his world ironically through a catastrophic naquadria explosion) and bearing a small sample of the rare and precious naquadria which the SGC is seeking in order to build defence shields.

==Orpheus==

Master Bra'tac and Teal'c's son Ry'ac are recruiting rebel Jaffa working a naquadah refinery on Erebus when they are captured by the System Lord Ba'al's forces. Erebus is a death camp – Jaffa unwilling to serve Ba'al are literally worked to death there, slaving on the construction of a Ha'tak mothership. Only Jaffa prisoner labour is used to purify the naquadah, as they are the only ones who can stand the intense heat and toxic gases of the blast furnaces fed by underground volcanic systems. Eventually even the Jaffa succumb.

==Enemy Mine==

On P3X-403, the SG-11 survey team headed by Colonel Edwards discovers a naquadah mine that could yield enough of the rare, off-world mineral to build numerous X-303 interstellar battle cruisers like the Prometheus. The loss of one of his men prompts him to send for SG-1 and SG-3. Dr. Daniel Jackson finds artefacts suggesting the presence of Unas and he is proven correct when the SG teams clash with a large, aggressive clan. With the aid of the Unas Chaka, Daniel communicates with Iron Shirt, leader of the Unas clan, discovering that the mine is sacred to them. However, the mine is viable, with the potential to yield 53,000 metric tons of naquadah.

When Iron Shirt is revealed to be the leader of an enormous population of Unas, the Pentagon's plan to forcibly relocate them is aborted. Facing imminent massacre, Daniel negotiates with Iron Shirt: the Unas will work the mine in which their ancestors died for naquadah which the SGC will use to build weapons and ships to destroy the Goa'uld, their enslavers and common enemy.

==Naquadah==

Naquadah is the most prized mineral in the galaxy. Both the Ancients (who built the network of Stargates) and the Goa'uld (who exploit the network) used naquadah in the creation of their advanced technology.

The Ancients made the first practical application of the mineral with the creation of their network of interplanetary Stargates, constructed from refined naquadah ore, similar to quartz. Naquadah us a stable mineral, capable of many applications and uses, including the creation of weapons of mass destruction and the generation of seemingly limitless amounts of clean energy. In its refined state, a Stargate's naquadah only reacts with neutrinos – an electrically neutral particle – converting and storing energy as a large superconductor. Neutrinos are not affected by the electromagnetic forces that act on electrons and thus able to pass through great distances and through matter without noticeable effect. This energy is stored within a crystal lattice structure built into each Stargate.

Most Asgard energy sources stem from naquadah fusion-reactors which power their formidable motherships and hyper-space drives. The Asgard have constant dependable sources of naquadah within their home systems in the galaxy of Ida. The Asgard flagship 'O'Neill' – destroyed in battle with the Replicators – was constructed of a naquadah-trinium-carbon alloy which would have made it the most advanced design in the galaxy. The 'O'Neill' was later superseded by the 'Daniel Jackson.'

The Goa'uld eventually discovered the mineral's potential and absorbed it into their technology. It is a staple of many of their devices and a cornerstone of their powerbase. Worlds rich with naquadah - such as Abydos - are therefore highly prized.

Naquadah is used to power all Goa'uld devices, providing an efficient source of energy. Jaffa staff and other weapons, Goa'uld motherships and other space vessels, communications and sarcophagi are all powered by naquadah. It is even found in the bloodstream of the Goa'uld, though it is not known how it came to be part of the symbiote genetic make-up. In excavations conducted by Dr. Daniel Jackson and Dr. Robert Rothman on P3X-888, the homeworld on which the primordial Goa'uld evolved, symbiotes survive to the present day and none have naquadah in their blood.

Those taken as hosts by Goa'uld symbiotes absorb some of the naquadah into their bloodstream. The presence of naquadah in the blood is the key which unlocks the most vital Goa'uld technology, including the controls of a mothership, and both the ribbon and healing devices. The energy contained within the mineral is tremendous: portable naquadah reactors can power cities (3.05 "Learning Curve" and 4.09 "Scorched Earth") and also construct explosives of terrible destructive power (4.09 "Scorched Earth" and 4.15 "Chain Reaction"). Allied with the host body's bio-electrical impulses, the energy contained within the naquadah in the bloodstream of host and symbiote renders these Goa'uld devices operable when touched (2.01 "The Serpent's Lair" and 2.06 "Thor's Chariot").

Goa'uld can detect the presence of naquadah within a host body. Hathor (3.01 "Into The Fire") and Seth (3.02 "Seth") both detected that Samantha Carter had been taken as a host. It can also be sensed within the Stargate itself. Hathor was drawn to the Stargate even though it was buried beneath Cheyenne Mountain (1.14 "Hathor").

Those taken as hosts by Goa'uld symbiotes absorb some of the naquadah into their bloodstream and even if freed from the parasite, retain the ability to sense that presence in others. This was first demonstrated by the orphaned Cassandra Fraiser, who sensed the Tok'ra symbiote Jolinar of Malkshur within Samantha Carter (1.02 "In The Line Of Duty") some time after a naquadah bomb constructed within her body by the System Lord Nirrti decayed and was absorbed into her bloodstream. Carter too has sensed the presense of naquadah within other beings. (2.05 "Need" and 5.08 "The Tomb")

Thus, the Goa'uld dependency on naquadah has become an inextricable part of their physiology and genetic makeup.

Col. Samantha Carter is Earth's foremost expert on the technological applications of naquadah. Working with the young Orbanian scientist Merrin, Carter developed the first Earth device powered by the mineral: a naquadah reactor. (3.05 "Learning Curve") Over time, Carter has perfected the design of the reactor to be an extremely portable as well as powerful power device. However, she has also been instrumental in more destructive experiments, firstly in overloading the reactor to make a bomb (4.09 "Scorched Earth") and secondly in enhancing the payload of a nuclear warhead (4.15 "Chain Reaction"). Naquadah has also made it possible for the United States Air Force to construct its first interstellar starship, the X-303, named Prometheus.

==Stargate: the Movie==

The Stargate was constructed of a mineral unlike any found on Earth. When the US Air Force team led by Col. Jack O'Neill and Dr. Daniel Jackson went through the Stargate to the world of Abydos, they discovered the entire indigenous slave population working a vast, and by Earth standards, primitive mine. Geological scans determined that the material the Abydonian people were mining was the same as that used to construct the Stargate.

Abydos was the principal world of the Supreme System Lord Ra. It may be deduced that much of his power over his fellow Goa'uld was derived from his control over vast deposits of this mineral.

==Hathor==

Hathor is apprehended by the SGC's security forces attempting to penetrate Cheyenne Mountain: she knows the Stargate is there. Questioned by General Hammond, Col. Jack O'Neill and Dr. Daniel Jackson, she reveals that she was "drawn" to the Stargate. Or rather, to the naquadah it was constructed from. She confirms that access to the Stargate network was what gave Ra his power among the System Lords.

==Singularity==

Cassandra is the only survivor of a bioweapon used by the System Lord Nirrti to wipe out the people of Hanka. Rescued by SG-1, she is brought back to the SGC where Dr. Janet Fraiser finds traces of naquadah in her blood. When Cassandra collapses with a marked potassium deficiency and pain in her chest, the medical team discover an odd mechanical pump-like sound in her heart. X-Ray reveals a device which had not been present only hours earlier. Capt. Samantha Carter contacts a microscopic particle of iron and potassium with naquadah. The result is a massive nuclear explosion. A similar biochemical reaction is occurring with Cassandra as the fatty layer separating the two sides of the device decays. The resultant explosion would be a million times more powerful. Deducing that the device would be triggered by taking Cassandra through the Stargate, SG-1 instead transport her to an abandoned nuclear facility. Safely away from the Stargate, the bomb dissipates and the naquadah is reabsorbed into Cassandra's system.

==In The Line Of Duty==

Capt. Samantha Carter is possessed by the Tok'ra symbiote Jolinar of Malkshur. Cassandra Fraiser, the Hankan orphan adopted by Dr. Janet Fraiser, is the first to sense something is wrong with Carter when the two meet up in Fraiser's office. Cassandra insists to Col. Jack O'Neill that Carter is a Goa'uld. It is the naquadah now within Carter that Cassandra can sense.

==Need==

On P3R-636, SG-1 observe as a shipment of mineral Teal'c believes to be naquadah is ceremonially despatched through the Stargate. Though SG-3 had previously discovered a small sample of the mineral previously, Carter reminds O'Neill of its importance to Stargate Command. Tailing the procession, SG-1 become entangled with Princess Shyla as she attempts suicide and are captured when Dr. Daniel Jackson rescues her. Shyla's father Pyrus sentences SG-1 to labour in his naquadah mines.

Duplicating Cassandra's ability to sense naquadah within others, Carter reveals that she senses no 'presence' within Pyrus or any of his so-called 'Jaffa' guards. They are all human, though Pyrus has used the sarcophagus technology to prolong his life and rule for more than 700 years. Periodically, they send shipments of naquadah through the Stargate in order to fool the Goa'uld into leaving their world in peace.

After being injured, it is through Shyla's manipulations that Daniel becomes addicted to the narcotic effects of the sarcophagus. Ultimately he and his friends are freed, taking back a sample of the precious naquadah with them, because Shyla believes Daniel will be forced to return to her or die from his withdrawal.

==Out Of Mind==

When SG-1 are taken prisoner by Hathor, they are revived from cryogenic suspended animation, convinced that they are 70 years into their own future and interrogated. As Carter has naquadah in her blood and can sense its presence within others, she is kept more dosed than either O'Neill or Daniel.

==Into The Fire==

Hathor senses from the naquadah particles in Carter's bloodstream that since their last meeting, she has been host to a Goa'uld.

==Learning Curve==

In an exchange of knowledge between the SGC and the people of Orban, the young scientist Merrin presents Carter with an advanced naquadah reactor to study. With the aid of cross-sections Merrin draws of the reactor, Carter is able to begin construction of a clean, limitless and portable power generator.

==Foothold==

Carter proves resistant to anaesthesia as a result of the naquadah in her blood.

==The First Ones==

In an excavation on P3X-888, Dr. Daniel Jackson and Dr. Robert Rothman discover the fossilised remains of primordial predatory Goa'uld and deduce this is the world where the parasites evolved. They test the fossils for the presence of naquadah and find none, concluding that it must have become part of the Goa'uld genetic makeup later in their evolution. As Carter cannot sense the presence of the Goa'uld teeming in the bodies of water on P3X-888, it appears the aboriginal symbiotes do not have naquadah in their blood in the present day. The Goa'uld who have become the dominant parasitical species in our galaxy had the mineral introduced into their genetic makeup after leaving P3X-888.

==Scorched Earth==

The SGC provides a working naquadah generator to the Enkarans, giving them heat and power as they struggle to establish themselves on a new world. When a technologically advanced alien ship begins terraforming the planet and threatening the Enkarans' survival, O'Neill orders Carter to make the reactor into a bomb. She theorises that if she creates a feedback loop, the energy would build up instead of being released as intended, creating a massive explosion.

==Chain Reaction==

Carter has made progress on her research into naquadah reactors: large-scale application is theoretical but the mineral has incredible potential as an alternative power source. General Bauer, Hammond's replacement at the SGC, is more interested in the ability of naquadah to increase the explosive effect of nuclear ordinance. When weapons grade naquadah is obtained, Carter must enhance a nuclear warhead in order to determine the destructive capabilities of naquadah.

She is shocked and furious when Daniel discovers that the planet chosen to conduct the weapons test has an old Goa'uld mine and thus naquadah present in its soil which would cause a chain reaction and possibly destroy the entire planet. For Bauer, this is the point: Goa'uld occupied worlds tend to have significant levels of naquadah and this could prove a very effective weapon against them.

Carter warns that the effects of the chain reaction could be translated back through the wormhole to the SGC. The explosion caused by the naquadah chain reaction is immense and as predicted, the Stargate does not disconnect. Ultra-high frequency gamma radiation bombards the gate room, slowed only by closing the iris. Even destroying the SGC and Cheyenne Mountain would not be enough to stop the Stargate pumping through radiation from what Carter theorises to be the test world reduced to a ball of super-heated plasma capable of powering the Stargate for months.

Earth is saved only by the 38-minute window: the longest period for which a wormhole may remain engaged.

==The Tomb==

Carter and Teal'c are able to sense the presence of the Goa'uld symbiote Marduk when SG-1 and a Russian team are trapped with it inside an ancient ziggurat.

==Desperate Measures==

A kidnapped Carter proves resistant to anaesthesia and unusually strong for a human, a legacy of the naquadah in her bloodstream.

==Failsafe==

When Earth is threatened with destruction by a giant asteroid on a collision course, it is revealed that the experiment Bauer forced Carter to conduct was not in vain. The SGC's response is to despatch SG-1 in a captured Goa'uld cargo vessel to destroy the asteroid with a 1200 megaton naquadah-enhanced nuclear warhead. It's the most powerful warhead ever created, the equivalent of 1 billion tons of TNT.

The cargo vessel's final approach to the asteroid proves to be faster than expected leading Carter to discover its gravity field is far stronger than it should be. The core of the asteroid is made of something denser than nickel and iron: naquadah, 45% of its total mass. As naquadah does not occur naturally in Earth's solar system, SG-1 realise that the asteroid is not a natural phenomenon but a Goa'uld set-up.

By simulating a natural disaster, the attacking Goa'uld could circumvent the Asgard Protected Planets Treaty shielding Earth. The naquadah-enhanced explosion resulting from SG-1's deployment of the nuclear weapon would have the force of a small nova, setting Earth's atmosphere on fire and boiling the oceans.

SG-1's radio signals can't penetrate that much solid naquadah.

Daniel's solution to this problem is ingenious: a hyper-space jump through the Earth, towing the asteroid along with the cargo ship.

==Meridian==

On Kelowna, SG-1 learn of the existence of naquadria, a highly unstable, intensely radioactive variant of naquadah with the potential for great bursts of energy. The Kelownans were using the naquadria to construct a bomb of similar destructive capability as a naquadah-enhanced nuclear warhead. After doing some calculations, Carter explains the incredible potential of naquadria:

''CARTER: The potential's astronomical, sir. Even a very small amount of the unstable element they're working with emitted a pulse of energy far greater than anything I've ever believed possible. Much more than weapons grade naquadah would have. It would require a massive nuclear reaction to even approach this level.''

''O'NEILL: So?''

''CARTER: Sir, this could be the missing link we've been looking for in terms of generating the kind of energy I believe is necessary to create a hyperspace window. Or, to generate and sustain the kind of shields the Goa'uld have been using to protect their ships. Sir, we have to get some of this element.''

When the bomb malfunctions, Dr. Daniel Jackson gives his life to save the Kelownans, going into the laboratory and exposing himself to a fatal dose of radiation to shut down the bomb. The Kelownan government blame him for the disaster and it is only through O'Neill's intervention to clear Daniel's name that Kelownan ethicist Jonas Quinn comes to the Earth seeking sanctuary, insight into the threat posed by the Goa'uld (a Goa'uld civilisation was destroyed on his world ironically through a catastrophic naquadria explosion) and bearing a small sample of the rare and precious naquadria which the SGC is seeking in order to build defence shields.

==Orpheus==

Master Bra'tac and Teal'c's son Ry'ac are recruiting rebel Jaffa working a naquadah refinery on Erebus when they are captured by the System Lord Ba'al's forces. Erebus is a death camp – Jaffa unwilling to serve Ba'al are literally worked to death there, slaving on the construction of a Ha'tak mothership. Only Jaffa prisoner labour is used to purify the naquadah, as they are the only ones who can stand the intense heat and toxic gases of the blast furnaces fed by underground volcanic systems. Eventually even the Jaffa succumb.

Facing imminent massacre, Daniel negotiates with Iron Shirt: the Unas will work the mine in which their ancestors died for naquadah which the SGC will use to build weapons and ships to destroy the Goa'uld, their enslavers and common enemy.

As Carter cannot sense the presence of the Goa'uld teeming in the bodies of water on P3X-888, it appears the aboriginal symbiotes do not have naquadah in their blood in the present day. The Goa'uld who have become the dominant parasitical species in our galaxy had the mineral introduced into their genetic makeup after leaving P3X-888.

==Scorched Earth==

The SGC provides a working naquadah generator to the Enkarans, giving them heat and power as they struggle to establish themselves on a new world. When a technologically advanced alien ship begins terraforming the planet and threatening the Enkarans' survival, O'Neill orders Carter to make the reactor into a bomb. She theorises that if she creates a feedback loop, the energy would build up instead of being released as intended, creating a massive explosion.

==Chain Reaction==

Carter has made progress on her research into naquadah reactors: large-scale application is theoretical but the mineral has incredible potential as an alternative power source. General Bauer, Hammond's replacement at the SGC, is more interested in the ability of naquadah to increase the explosive effect of nuclear ordinance. When weapons grade naquadah is obtained, Carter must enhance a nuclear warhead in order to determine the destructive capabilities of naquadah.

She is shocked and furious when Daniel discovers that the planet chosen to conduct the weapons test has an old Goa'uld mine and thus naquadah present in its soil which would cause a chain reaction and possibly destroy the entire planet. For Bauer, this is the point: Goa'uld occupied worlds tend to have significant levels of naquadah and this could prove a very effective weapon against them.

Carter warns that the effects of the chain reaction could be translated back through the wormhole to the SGC. The explosion caused by the naquadah chain reaction is immense and as predicted, the Stargate does not disconnect. Ultra-high frequency gamma radiation bombards the gate room, slowed only by closing the iris. Even destroying the SGC and Cheyenne Mountain would not be enough to stop the Stargate pumping through radiation from what Carter theorises to be the test world reduced to a ball of super-heated plasma capable of powering the Stargate for months.

Earth is saved only by the 38-minute window: the longest period for which a wormhole may remain engaged.

==The Tomb==

Carter and Teal'c are able to sense the presence of the Goa'uld symbiote Marduk when SG-1 and a Russian team are trapped with it inside an ancient ziggurat.

==Desperate Measures==

A kidnapped Carter proves resistant to anaesthesia and unusually strong for a human, a legacy of the naquadah in her bloodstream.

==Failsafe==

When Earth is threatened with destruction by a giant asteroid on a collision course, it is revealed that the experiment Bauer forced Carter to conduct was not in vain. The SGC's response is to despatch SG-1 in a captured Goa'uld cargo vessel to destroy the asteroid with a 1200 megaton naquadah-enhanced nuclear warhead. It's the most powerful warhead ever created, the equivalent of 1 billion tons of TNT.

The cargo vessel's final approach to the asteroid proves to be faster than expected leading Carter to discover its gravity field is far stronger than it should be. The core of the asteroid is made of something denser than nickel and iron: naquadah, 45% of its total mass. As naquadah does not occur naturally in Earth's solar system, SG-1 realise that the asteroid is not a natural phenomenon but a Goa'uld set-up.

By simulating a natural disaster, the attacking Goa'uld could circumvent the Asgard Protected Planets Treaty shielding Earth. The naquadah-enhanced explosion resulting from SG-1's deployment of the nuclear weapon would have the force of a small nova, setting Earth's atmosphere on fire and boiling the oceans.

SG-1's radio signals can't penetrate that much solid naquadah.

Daniel's solution to this problem is ingenious: a hyper-space jump through the Earth, towing the asteroid along with the cargo ship.

==Meridian==

On Kelowna, SG-1 learn of the existence of naquadria, a highly unstable, intensely radioactive variant of naquadah with the potential for great bursts of energy. The Kelownans were using the naquadria to construct a bomb of similar destructive capability as a naquadah-enhanced nuclear warhead. After doing some calculations, Carter explains the incredible potential of naquadria:

CARTER
The potential's astronomical, sir. Even a very small amount of the unstable element they're working with emitted a pulse of energy far greater than anything I've ever believed possible. Much more than weapons grade naquadah would have. It would require a massive nuclear reaction to even approach this level.

O'NEILL
So?

CARTER
Sir, this could be the missing link we've been looking for in terms of generating the kind of energy I believe is necessary to create a hyperspace window. Or, to generate and sustain the kind of shields the Goa'uld have been using to protect their ships. Sir, we have to get some of this element.

When the bomb malfunctions, Dr. Daniel Jackson gives his life to save the Kelownans, going into the laboratory and exposing himself to a fatal dose of radiation to shut down the bomb. The Kelownan government blame him for the disaster and it is only through O'Neill's intervention to clear Daniel's name that Kelownan ethicist Jonas Quinn comes to the Earth seeking sanctuary, insight into the threat posed by the Goa'uld (a Goa'uld civilisation was destroyed on his world ironically through a catastrophic naquadria explosion) and bearing a small sample of the rare and precious naquadria which the SGC is seeking in order to build defence shields.

==Orpheus==

Master Bra'tac and Teal'c's son Ry'ac are recruiting rebel Jaffa working a naquadah refinery on Erebus when they are captured by the System Lord Ba'al's forces. Erebus is a death camp – Jaffa unwilling to serve Ba'al are literally worked to death there, slaving on the construction of a Ha'tak mothership. Only Jaffa prisoner labour is used to purify the naquadah, as they are the only ones who can stand the intense heat and toxic gases of the blast furnaces fed by underground volcanic systems. Eventually even the Jaffa succumb.

==Enemy Mine==

On P3X-403, the SG-11 survey team headed by Colonel Edwards discovers a naquadah mine that could yield enough of the rare, off-world mineral to build numerous X-303 interstellar battle cruisers like the Prometheus. The loss of one of his men prompts him to send for SG-1 and SG-3. Dr. Daniel Jackson finds artefacts suggesting the presence of Unas and he is proven correct when the SG teams clash with a large, aggressive clan. With the aid of the Unas Chaka, Daniel communicates with Iron Shirt, leader of the Unas clan, discovering that the mine is sacred to them. However, the mine is viable, with the potential to yield 53,000 metric tons of naquadah.

When Iron Shirt is revealed to be the leader of an enormous population of Unas, the Pentagon's plan to forcibly relocate them is aborted. Facing imminent massacre, Daniel negotiates with Iron Shirt: the Unas will work the mine in which their ancestors died for naquadah which the SGC will use to build weapons and ships to destroy the Goa'uld, their enslavers and common enemy.

==Earth Mythological References==

Seth was the embodiment of hostility and outright evil. Often paired with goddesses from foreign lands, such as Astarte and Anat, Seth was said to be the son of Nut and Geb (Sky and Earth) or Nut and Ra. Osiris was his chief adversary and after the murder of his brother, Seth became embroiled in a war with Horus. Seth tore out Horus left eye (the moon) and Horus tore out Seths foreleg and testicles. Eventually Horus won the battle or was deemed the victor by a decision from Neith. Seth was forced to return the eye of Horus, and Seth was consequently either castrated or killed. Other versions have Seth returning to live with Ra, where he became the voice of thunder. Ordinary Egyptians had cause to fear Seth in the underworld, where he was said to seize the souls of the unwary.

==Stargate References==

Jacob/Selmak and the Tok'ra believe the Goa'uld Seth is still alive and living on Earth, and Jacob enlists the SGC's assistance in finding him. Thinking that finding Seth would be like the proverbial needle in a haystack, Jacob was surprised that Daniel rather quickly located the rogue Goa'uld. As the leader of a series of small cults, Seth "Fargough" wielded little influence over Earthly cultures, hiding out among the humans and maintaining a low profile for centuries. Seth changed hosts every few hundred years as he did not have the restorative benefits of a sarcophagus. For every host change, he would command all his followers to commit suicide, leaving no one the wiser. In his modern incarnation, Seth again quietly reestablished his cult, keeping the number of followers small. Having found Seth's whereabouts, SG-1 launch the mission to retrieve him. Unbeknownst to SG-1, however, Seth's cult also attracted the attention of ATF Agents (Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms). The ATF were opposed to the military stepping in and assuming control over their investigation, but they were overruled. Prepared that Seth uses a form of Nishta to render humans under his control, O'Neill, Daniel and Carter infiltrated the compound. Discovered by the cult, they were temporary rendered willing converts, relying on Teal'c and Jacob to deliver the small electrical charge to free them from the mind control. Once Jack, Daniel and Sam were freed of Seth's control, the cult members were hurried out of their protected compound. Seth hid himself among the escapees, hoping to avoid capture, but Sam was forced to kill him using the Goa’uld's own ribbon device. (Seth)
