'''TEASER'''

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN TUNNEL ENTRANCE'''

'''INT—HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

[Hammond is feeding pages into a paper shredder one sheet at a time. O'Neill arrives at Hammond's doorway.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Got a minute, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
C'mon in, Jack. Have a seat. Y'know, I never anticipated how much paperwork is involved in shutting down a facility. Not exactly the last brave act I wanted to do before retiring.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So you're still just going to throw it in, huh?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well I was a month away from retirement before we started the SGC. The only thing that kept me here was…well, let's face it, it was a pretty wild ride.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir. Personally, I don't think we should be getting off that ride just yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel, we've been through this. I agree with you, but we have our orders.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They're ill-conceived orders, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I agree, but they're orders just the same, and I for one follow orders.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Even though we are the only line of defense protecting this planet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I know that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know you know that, sir. You're still just going to chuck it, huh?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You don't think I tried everything to prevent this shutdown? I went back to Senator Kinsey twice. The second time, he had me forcibly removed from his office. I went to the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs. Hell, I finally called the President, himself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What'd he say?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
He said that to override the Senate committee on this one would be political suicide for him.</blockquote>

[O'Neill shakes his head.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It's over, Jack. No extensions, no reversals, no new hearings. The Stargate will be buried literally and figuratively.</blockquote>

'''INT—VIEW OF STARGATE FROM SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[The Stargate is covered with white fabric.]

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Daniel turns as O'Neill enters. Carter and Teal'c are there as well.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hammond's given up. They're going to bury the Gate day after tomorrow.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Then I must return through the Stargate as soon as possible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, we all should go through the Gate as soon as possible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Whoa whoa whoa, go through, to where?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
To the coordinates I got in the other reality.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, dammit!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack—it was real.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hey, even if it was, how do we know that that address correlates with this reality?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, there's only one way to find out, isn't there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We should enter the coordinates and attempt to open the Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
'Kay, hold on. Has anyone considered that we would be in gross violation of orders? Sir, we would be court martialed the second we got back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
If. If we got back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack, if we don't go through, what I saw in the other reality could happen here. This whole planet could be wiped out. Now in the other reality, by the time I left, Sara was dead, Carter, your whole family was dead, hell, I was dead. Everyone was dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, I got it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay, well don't you think we should see if we can stop the same slaughter from happening here? Let me ask you something, Jack. If we don't go through now, and the Goa'uld do attack later, how are you going to feel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How are just the four of us going to stop the attack anyway, even if we do go through?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, we'd have a lot better chance now than we would trying to stop an overwhelming onslaught later. Trust me—I have seen it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If the coordinates are for a Goa'uld world which is not on the Abydos cartouche, the Goa'uld will most likely not expect us. I believe a medical attack could be successful.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Surgical attack, Teal'c. It's called a surgical attack, and I'd feel like an idiot.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I was answering Daniel's question. If we don't do something now, and they do attack later, I'd feel like an idiot. We go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I too will go.</blockquote>

[Carter hesitates.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's not an order, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I understand that, Colonel. Thank you. I'm goin'.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[The Stargate opens. SG-1 is dressed in black BDU's and gear, viewed behind the glass of the control room, at computers. Gate activation alarm is sounding.]

<blockquote>RECORDED VOICE ON PA SYSTEM 
Attention all personnel: unauthorized Stargate activation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter, close the blast doors and corridors to Alpha and Charlie. Disable 'em.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I need an authorized officer's security code to disable.</blockquote>

[O'Neill types into a computer.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There you go.</blockquote>

[Carter types into a computer.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

[Armed troops are running through the corridor, then turn down another corridor.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER'S VOICE 
Go! Go! Go!</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

[Hammond, Ferretti and more troops are walking. They see corridor A-2 get closed off as door descends. Hammond swipes his security card through reader. Nothing happens.]

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
It's on security lock-out, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, get it open, Major. Now. [to another soldier] Try going around through corridor C.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Yes, sir. Move out! Corridor C.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, MALP's on its way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Should reach its destination in 3…2…1.</blockquote>

[The MALP video image on the computer screen is black.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What happened? We lose signal?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, sir. We are receiving video. Point of arrival is dark. Switching to infrared.</blockquote>

[Infrared image shows a DHD and some large crates.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Looks ancient Egyptian.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Possibly Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No signs of life in the immediate vicinity of the probe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RECORDED VOICE 
Security breached.</blockquote>

[Daniel looks up at an overhead screen.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They just got corridor C-9 open.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, let's go.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[SG-1 rushes into the Gate room. They run up the ramp and go through the Gate. Hammond and Ferretti enter with troops just as Teal'c enters the Gate.]

'''END TEASER'''

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''INT—GATE ROOM ON KLOREL'S SHIP'''

[O'Neill is scanning the room using night-vision goggles. He removes them and turns on a flashlight, as do the others. There is no light except for that from the flashlights.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, send back the MALP.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Doesn't look like there are any doors or windows.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Many Goa'uld facilities disguise doorways within their structure.</blockquote>

[Daniel begins to dial Earth. O'Neill is shining his flashlight on a crate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey Teal'c, what are these things?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Transport containers. Much like your shipping crates.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So they're shipping something through the Gate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Or receiving.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Let's have a look inside, shall we?</blockquote>

[The Stargate activates. Daniel commands the MALP to move toward it, and it does. Teal'c opens a crate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Cool. What are these things?</blockquote>

[The crate interior shows two staff weapons and some smaller devices. Teal'c picks up one of the smaller devices.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This is a Goa'uld Zat'nik'tel. A weapon using a different form of energy less powerful than that of a staff weapon. Less destructive but still quite deadly.</blockquote>

[We hear the Stargate disengage.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sweet. Pass 'em out. What'd you call it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Zat'nik'tel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Right. Let's call it a Zat gun, huh? How do ya fire it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
One need only squeeze it here to fire.</blockquote>

[O'Neill does as instructed and extends the Zat to the ready position.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The Goa'uld take great pleasure in discharging the weapon only once on a subject, causing him great pain, disabling but not killing him. A second shot will kill most subjects.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Nice.</blockquote>

[A whining noise begins and builds in intensity.]

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
What's happening, Teal'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am unsure.</blockquote>

[The sound continues to build, then there is a clunk and a shimmering and everyone except Teal'c goes flying across the room. Daniel falls down the stairs in front of the Gate and lands face down. Daniel and O'Neill start to move.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Everybody okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah, what was that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Felt like some kind of weird planetary shift.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We should dial home immediately.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Do it, Daniel.</blockquote>

[Daniel dials Earth and hits the center activation crystal, but the DHD glyph lights go out and nothing happens at the Gate.]

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What? I dialed home just like I did a minute ago, just like I've done a million times before.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, do it again.</blockquote>

[Daniel dials again, and again nothing happens.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh oh.</blockquote>

[A door to the room begins to open. SG-1 takes cover around the room. Six Jaffa march in. Daniel sees that he left his night-vision goggles on the floor. The Jaffa open a crate and a large metallic sphere floats out of it over to the Stargate. The Jaffa march out, leaving the sphere suspended inside the Stargate circle. SG-1 comes out of hiding. The door closes, but the lights in the room remain on.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I always get a happy tingly feeling when I see those guys.</blockquote>

[Daniel retrieves his goggles and looks at the sphere.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Teal'c, what is this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is a Goa'uld long-range visual communication device. Somewhat like your television, only much further advanced.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Think it gets Showtime? Can you open that door?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Now that I know its location, I believe I can.</blockquote>

[Teal'c gets the door open. They move into the corridor. The doors close behind them. They hide from the Jaffa going the other way, then move out down the corridor.]

'''INT—SGC CONFERENCE ROOM'''

<blockquote>CHEVRON GUY 
Sir, we've confirmed that it was SG-1. They went to the coordinates that Doctor Jackson brought back with him from that…other place.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
If what he was saw was indeed real, that's the origination point of the Goa'uld military attack on Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHEVRON GUY 
A pretty hostile place to go, wouldn't it sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
Do you want SG-2 to go get them, bring them back, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You'd only be bringing them back for courts martial.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
Permission to speak freely, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Go ahead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
Sir, Colonel O'Neill saved my butt more than once. I'd like to go in and back him up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I can't send your unit in —</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
My men and I are willing to take the risk, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'll take that under advisement, Major.</blockquote>

'''INT—CORRIDOR ON KLOREL'S SHIP'''

[SG-1 is moving carefully along the corridor and make their way into a room.]

'''INT—PELTAC ON KLOREL'S SHIP'''

[There is a sarcophagus in the room. They search the room.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
A sarcophagus.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, great. More snakeheads. Teal'c, any idea which one's in here? Teal'c?</blockquote>

[Teal'c is looking at something; the rest join him.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We're not on a planet, are we?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
That is correct.</blockquote>

[The camera reveals a view screen showing a wormhole-like image.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It appears we are aboard a Goa'uld transport vessel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And that jolt was…</blockquote>

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

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[Stargate ring is spinning. A technician is preparing a MALP.]

<blockquote>CHEVRON GUY (voice off-camera) 
Chevron four encoded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You'll proceed much like SG-1 did. We'll send the MALP through first. If it's clear, you'll go through immediately.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CHEVRON GUY 
Chevron five encoded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'd like to reemphasize, Major, that officially your primary mission is to bring back SG-1 for court martial.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CHEVRON GUY 
Chevron six encoded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Major, bring them back alive and well.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
That's my plan, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHEVRON GUY 
Chevron seven…will not lock.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What happened, Sergeant?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHEVRON GUY 
I'm sorry, sir. I—I don't know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, find out.</blockquote>

'''EXT—KLOREL'S SHIP TRAVELING THROUGH HYPERSPACE'''

'''INT—PELTAC ON KLOREL'S SHIP'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, why didn't you tell us we were on a ship?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I was not sure. I have never been aboard a Goa'uld vessel such as this. Most accelerate very differently. Most do not contain Stargates.</blockquote>

[A Jaffa enters, aiming a zat at O'Neill.]

<blockquote>JAFFA 
Tel-ko-nak!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey! How ya doin'? Uh, seen a bathroom around here?</blockquote>

[O'Neill ducks as the Jaffa fires his zat; the shot hits the view screen and disperses. Carter comes out from hiding and zats the Jaffa twice. Teal'c zat's him a third time, making his body disappear.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay, one shot hurts 'em, two shots kill 'em. The third shot…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Disintegrates him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, great. You didn't feel this was worthy of mention, I take it.</blockquote>

[Carter gestures at the view screen.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
The blast spread across this area like there was glass here. This is a force field of some sort.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
That is correct. There is no transparent material capable of withstanding this velocity.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Or temporal displacement. We're traveling faster than light, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
That is correct.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So the ship must have been in orbit around a planet when we 'gated here. Then it—it launched or left orbit, which would explain why we can't Gate home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The point of origin isn't valid anymore.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, I suggest the two of you figure out how to get us back home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, the only way to that would be to turn this thing around and go back to where we started.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Right, I'll just go tell the pilot.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, you know how to fly one of these things?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Of this I am unsure. It appears to be of a new technology.

O'NEILL 
So, you couldn't turn this tub around, I take it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am qualified only to pilot the Goa'uld death gliders. I suggest we relocate to another chamber as soon as possible. Royal sarcophagai are rarely left unattended for long.</blockquote>

[They leave the room and make their way through the corridor. Jaffa approach while they hide. The Jaffa pass by. SG-1 enters a new room; O'Neill watches the passing Jaffa through a hole in the wall.]

'''INT—GLIDER HANGAR ON KLOREL'S SHIP'''

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack? It's happening.</blockquote>

[A hangar full of death gliders being prepared for launch is revealed.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We're on an attack ship headed to Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay. Well, we've got some problems then.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Teal'c, how fast can this ship go?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
A Goa'uld Ha'tak vessel can travel at ten times the speed of light.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, so if we are heading to Earth, then we have a long time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Based on what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Based on the coordinates of the planet we gated to.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We didn't Gate to a planet, we gated to a ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, but that ship had to have been in orbit around or on the surface of a planet in order for those Gate coordinates to work. So, based on the location of those coordinates, even if we were traveling at ten times the speed of light, it would take at least a year to get to Earth, probably more.</blockquote>

<blockquote>VOICE 
Mol jaffa. Tim lokeem rel roconnai.</blockquote>

[The Jaffa leave the hangar.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They're being summoned to some sort of gathering.</blockquote>

[They watch Jaffa pass in the corridor from a small hole in the wall. The Jaffa are moving the sarcophagus along the corridor.]

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Wait a minute. Go where?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Wherever they're goin'.</blockquote>

[Teal'c opens door to corridor. They move out.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM ON KLOREL'S SHIP'''

[The sarcophagus is in this room now. Jaffa, female acolytes and priests are gathered around it. The large metallic sphere hanging inside the Stargate comes to life, revealing a live image of Apophis.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Chel hol, Jaffa. The end of a dark moment in Goa'uld history approaches. Soon we will wipe out the scourge that plagues us. I will rejoin you as we come out of the shadows. Until then, you are to follow all orders of my son, as if they were my own.</blockquote>

[SG-1 has sneaked into the room and remain in hiding. The sarcophagus opens.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Bow down now. Show me your reverence for my son. The mighty warrior, Klorel!</blockquote>

[Klorel is seen standing up in the sarcophagus, his back to the camera.]

<blockquote>KLOREL 
Tel kol, Jaffa. Kel, Apophis. Re nek Klorel.</blockquote>

[By now he has turned and we see it is Skaara.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Re nek, Klorel.</blockquote>

'''EXT—KLOREL'S SHIP TRAVELING THROUGH HYPERSPACE'''

'''INT—GATE ROOM ON KLOREL'S SHIP'''

[SG-1 is hiding behind a container as last Jaffa leave.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He called him his son. That's sick!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Not exactly a chip off the old block.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The Goa'uld inside Skaara is probably the son of the one inside Apophis.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you, Daniel, that's encouraging.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm just tryin' to help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
O'Neill, what is our plan of attack?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're going to split up. Carter, you and Daniel start plantin' C4 all over this ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And what are you and Teal'c going to do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're going to try and grab Skaara.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, are you sure? It-it would be like trying to take Apophis.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They do not know we are aboard. There would be little reason to keep him under heavy guard.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, but with respect, sir, I think you're making an emotional decision here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Maybe, but it's also the best strategic decision.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack has a point. If we can capture him, maybe we can get through to the old Skaara. Kendra said that she could fight past her Goa'uld when it was still inside of her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Let's go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir. Contingency plan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
C4.</blockquote>

'''INT—PELTAC ON KLOREL'S SHIP'''

[O'Neill and Teal'c burst in, fighting Jaffa using Zats. They take out all the Jaffa. Klorel prepares his ribbon device. Teal'c grabs him from behind.]

<blockquote>KLOREL 
Chel nok, makor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Rin nok.</blockquote>

[Teal'c takes the ribbon device off of Klorel.]

<blockquote>KLOREL 
You dare to do this to Klorel? You will die a painful death.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, yeah, whatever.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
There's a raised hieroglyphic on the wall next to the door. It resembles a coiled serpent. Push then turn it.</blockquote>

[O'Neill does so, and the door closes.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Stand aside.</blockquote>

[Teal'c zats the raised symbol, fusing it into place. O'Neill does the same to the symbol for the only other door after closing it.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They will not be able to access this room for some time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, Skaara. Long time, no see.</blockquote>

'''INT—CORRIDOR ON KLOREL'S SHIP'''

[Carter and Daniel are moving down the corridor. They duck into the hangar to avoid Jaffa troops.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
All right. Those things have to be fueled by something, and fuel is usually combustible, so…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So if we blow up one, it'll probably start a chain reaction.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Right.</blockquote>

[Carter moves in and sets a charge on one of the death gliders.]

'''INT—PELTAC ON KLOREL'S SHIP'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
C'mon, Skaara, think. Try to remember me, I'm Jack O'Neill; this is Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KLOREL 
Ah, Teal'c, the traitor. I will take great pleasure in delivering his head to my father.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He's not your father.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KLOREL 
He is my father. He seeded the queen mother. He chose the host in which I will live out eternity. Apophis gave me life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, I'm not talkin' to that thing in your head. I'm talking to Skaara.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KLOREL 
Nothing of the host survives.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's bullshit. Now let him talk to me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KLOREL 
Your friend had a feeble mind. It suffered greatly and gave in easily. 
(laughs)</blockquote>

[O'Neill slugs Klorel in the jaw.]

'''INT—KLOREL'S SHIP—CORRIDOR OUTSIDE OF PELTAC'''

[Jaffa are working on control panel and trying to get the door to open.]

'''INT—PELTAC ON KLOREL'S SHIP'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
C'mon Skaara. Look at me. Try.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KLOREL 
Perhaps I will not kill you. Perhaps you will make a good host yourself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Teal'c) 
All right, promise me this thing won't kill him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Two shots will. One shot will only cause him great pain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So here's the deal. Let him out, let him talk to me, or you get the whole load.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KLOREL 
You will only hurt your friend.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He's a tough kid.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KLOREL 
Your friend is too afraid to come forward. He enjoys my protection. He really does not wish to speak with you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Is that right? Let him go, Teal'c. Let him go.</blockquote>

[Teal'c steps away. O'Neill fires on Klorel, who falls in pain.]

<blockquote>SKAARA 
Sha'uri! Daniel!</blockquote>

[Teal'c holds Skaara while O'Neill kneels in front of him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Skaara. Are you there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKAARA 
O'Neill! Oh, it hurts.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know, kid. I'm sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKAARA 
O'Neill, are you still my friend?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, I am.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKAARA 
But can you forgive me for what we are about to do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What are you about to do? Skaara! Skaara, what are you about to do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKAARA 
Please forgive us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hang in there kid, c'mon, hang on! What are you about to do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KLOREL 
Jaffa! Nok kree tol!</blockquote>

[Teal'c and O'Neill restrain Klorel. Jaffa get the door open and storm in.]

<blockquote>JAFFA 
Drop your weapon. Release Klorel now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
C'mon Skaara, help us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAFFA 
Release him, or we will kill the human.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If you kill the human I will kill Klorel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAFFA 
And the host in which he resides?</blockquote>

[Teal'c lowers his zat to the floor. Klorel picks it up, steps behind O'Neill and zats him; he falls from his knees to the floor, unconcious. A Jaffa prepares to fire on him with a staff.]

<blockquote>KLOREL 
Jaffa, nok!</blockquote>

[The Jaffa stops.]

<blockquote>KLOREL 
The traitor and his recruiter. My father will be pleased.</blockquote>

'''INT—GATE ROOM ON KLOREL'S SHIP'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
The naquada in the Gate will magnify the explosion.</blockquote>

[Daniel is looking at the metal sphere.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm just hopin' they can't see us through this thing.</blockquote>

[The door to the room begins to open. Carter and Daniel move to hid behind the Gate platform. Klorel enters, followed by O'Neill, Teal'c, and four Jaffa. Klorel kneels before the metal ball, and it comes to life with Apophis' face.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Shen'tel, Klorel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KLOREL 
Father, I wish to present you with a great gift. The traitor, Teal'c. And, I present the human that recruited him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey Pops.</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Silence! Klorel, where did they come from.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KLOREL 
I do not know. We found them after departure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
How many more came with you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thousands. We brought a whole army.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KLOREL 
I assure you Father, there could be no more.</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
You have made me proud, my son.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KLOREL 
Do you wish that I keep them until our rejoining?</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
No. Teal'c must suffer the most painful death a Jaffa can know. Removal of his prim'ta. Let his new master watch him suffer and die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KLOREL 
What about the human?</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
You may choose his method of death, but do it soon. It is almost time for remoc.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KLOREL 
Yes Father.</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
I look forward to seeing you at our destination. Lek tol.</blockquote>

[Apophis' image fades from the sphere. A priest, two female acolytes, and more Jaffa enter. The priest unsheaths a two-pronged knife.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Skaara, don't let this happen. Don't let 'em do this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KLOREL 
Na-ney.</blockquote>

[The priest stops.]

<blockquote>KLOREL 
Take them to the peltac.</blockquote>

[The Jaffa escort them out, followed by Klorel. Cater and Daniel stand up from where they were crouching behind the platform.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Daniel, we're going to go after them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Wait a minute, when are we going to blow the ship?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We'll detonate only as a last resort.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Listen, I wanna save them as much as you do, but if we get captured or killed, there is going to be nobody left to blow this ship before it gets to Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's why I'm setting a timer. If we don't deactivate it in 24 hours, it'll go automatically. Okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay.</blockquote>

'''INT—PELTAC ON KLOREL'S SHIP'''

[Klorel and Jaffa arrive with O'Neill and Teal'c.]

<blockquote>KLOREL 
You wish to go home to your planet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Of course.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KLOREL 
Jaffa, krel tak remoc.</blockquote>

[A Jaffa puts his hand on a small metal ball.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
O'Neill, prepare yourself for—</blockquote>

[O'Neill goes flying into a wall then sits up, rubbing his head.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Extreme deceleration.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thanks, Teal'c.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks at the view screen.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh my God.</blockquote>

[The view screen shows that the ship is about to pass Saturn.]

<blockquote>KLOREL 
You will get to see your home one last time, before you, and everyone on your planet, are destroyed. And your kind will disturb the Goa'uld no more.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

<blockquote>CHEVRON GUY 
Sir, I think we have another situation. We just spoke with Cairn deep-space radar, and they picked up two large blips passing Saturn. They're heading towards Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Any identification yet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHEVRON GUY 
Not yet, sir. NASA's just repositioning Hubble right now. Then we should be able to get a closer look.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Guess Doctor Jackson is lucky.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHEVRON GUY 
How so, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
He won't have to be around to watch his nightmare come true for a second time.</blockquote>

[Hammond picks up the red phone.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This is Major General Hammond. Let me speak to the President.</blockquote>

[Daniel and Carter are moving down the corridor, evading a large contingent of Jaffa. They follow the Jaffa to the glider bays. The cockpits of the gliders close, with pilots aboard.]

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The President is mobilizing every Branch, including the Guard and Reserve. The Air Force efforts will be coordinated through this facility. I need this room converted to a command and control center ASAP. Now make sure we have a link to AF SATCOM for encrypted communications to all Air Force bases and to NASA. Any more details on what we're facing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHEVRON GUY 
Not yet, sir.</blockquote>

'''INT—KLOREL'S SHIP, CORRIDOR AND PELTAC'''

[Carter and Daniel approach the peltac, where Jaffa are holding O'Neill and Teal'c captive. Carter sets off a smoke grenade in the corridor. Some Jaffa come to investigate, and Carter and Daniel fire on them, taking them out. They move into the peltac, and O'Neill and Teal'c join the fight in hand-to-hand combat. They take out all the Jaffa.]

[Klorel enters and grabs Daniel, whose gun skitters across the floor. Klorel then begins using the ribbon device on Daniel, who drops to his knees and grabs Klorel's arm, but to no effect.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Skaara! Skaara, don't!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
O'Neill, you must take action!</blockquote>

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

[O'Neill shoots Klorel/Skaara twice with Daniel's pistol. Klorel falls, and O'Neill goes to his side.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Daniel, you okay?</blockquote>

[Daniel is sitting up but is gasping and unable to answer.]

<blockquote>SKAARA 
O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah Skaara, I'm sorry.</blockquote>

[Skaara/Klorel smiles at O'Neill, then dies.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, gimme a second, here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I cannot.</blockquote>

[They all look out of the view screen, O'Neill still kneeling by Skaara's body.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I thought you said we couldn't be there for at least a year.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I guess this ship can go way faster than ten times the speed of light.</blockquote>

[They all gather to stand and look at the view screen.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, we saw the death gliders. They're prepping for launch, sir.</blockquote>

[Camera shows all of SG-1, then zooms backward to show them through the view screen from the exterior of the ship.]

'''TEASER'''

'''EXT—ENTRANCE TO CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN, DAYTIME'''

'''INT—INFIRMARY'''

[Daniel is sitting on bed getting the burn on his arm tended by a nurse.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
"Beware The Destroyers". That's what the message said. These are the coordinates the Goa'uld will launch their attack from. It was a warning.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Or so your vision foretells.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No! It wasn't a vision or a dream or a hallucination. It was 
(nurse rips bandage) 
real. Now, I know this is hard for you guys to believe. But I swear to you, the entire time you thought I had disappeared on P3R 233, I was experiencing an alternate reality.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And you were there, 
(nods to Teal'c) 
and you were there, 
(nods to Carter) 
and there's no place like home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
As a matter of fact you were there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Daniel. It's not that we don't believe you…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So you do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No. It's just that we don't believe you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack, this is very important.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
All right. Daniel, when you were in this alternate reality, were there differences?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes. Uh, Teal'c was leading the attack on Earth. I wasn't even part of the program. You and Jack were engaged to be married…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Excuse me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What? Okay, uh, even if you did actually experience the alternate reality, doesn't the very fact that there were differences mean that we won't face the same fate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes. But the defining event, the death of Ra, took place in both worlds.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
An attack of retribution.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes! And the same thing is going to happen here unless we stop it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right. Wait a minute. Let…Let me get something straight here. Engaged?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It is theoretically possible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's against regulations!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATER 
I'm talking physics, sir. Though the whole concept of alternate realities, entire alternate universes, was predicted by Einstein a long time ago…</blockquote>

[Hammond enters the infirmary with Samuels behind him.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I thought you might all be here. How's our boy?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
He's going to be just fine General. 
(She greets the officer with Hammond) 
Major Samuels.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
That's, er, Lieutenant Colonel Samuels now, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I beg your pardon, sir. Congratulations.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You'll always be "Sparky" to me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I thought you'd been transferred to the Pentagon, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
I was. Stargate Mission Analysis. I'm here today of course for the hearing.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Senator Kinsey? The Stargate Project? Uh, I thought you were going to testify.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
They will. SG-1 just retuned from a mission last night. I haven't had a chance to inform them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Well, perhaps I shouldn't say too much more.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, cut the crap Samuels. What's going on?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Senator Kinsey has taken a great deal of interest in the program. And thus far he hasn't liked what he's seen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm sorry to hear that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
As you should be Colonel. It could mean the end of the Stargate. The hearing is at 1400 hours. I look forward to seeing you all there.</blockquote>

[Samuels exits.]

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''EXT—ENTRANCE TO CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN, DAYTIME'''

'''INT—GENERAL HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

[Hammond is on the red phone.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Yes, sir, I understand. We'll fight the good fight.</blockquote>

[Hammond hangs up phone.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, politics isn't my strong suit, but doesn't President outrank Senator?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Senator Kinsey is Chairman of the Appropriations Committee. He's demanded to know what is behind the line item the Pentagon refers to as Area 52.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That would be the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
An unofficial project. That just happens to cost 7.4 billion dollars a year to operate. The President and the Joint Chiefs thought if they granted the Senator the appropriate clearances, let him in on the existence of the SGC, he'd recognise it's importance to national security and authorise the expenditure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I take it he didn't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The idea backfired. After reading your mission reports, and being fully briefed by Colonel Samuels, the Senator decided the SGC would receive no further funding from the Treasury.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That effectively shuts us down, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Very effectively. It costs nearly a billion dollars just to turn the lights on around here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How 'bout a bake sale? Yard sale? Garage?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This is what I look like when I'm not laughing, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Car wash? I'm sorry, sir. It's just I—I don't get it. How does one man get that much power?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The Constitution of these United States. The issue of our worth could be debated openly in the Senate, but not without making the Stargate known to the general public. The President doesn't believe the time for that has come. I agree with him.</blockquote>

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN COMPLEX'''

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, he's late.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You seem more apprehensive of this hearing than you are of battle.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I prefer battle, actually.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm sure once we tell him that the Earth's future is at stake…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel. Let's just keep the alternative reality story as our little ace in the hole, shall we?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Why?</blockquote>

[Lt Colonel Samuels, military aides and Senator Kinsey walk down the spiral staircase into the briefing room.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Just because.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Ladies and Gentlemen, I apologise. A certain congressman, who will go nameless, just does not know how to take "no" for an answer. Ah, this is the infamous SG-1.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Infamous? Yes, sir. Colonel Jack O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Colonel. I've heard a lot about you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Don't believe a word of it Senator. I'm actually a nice guy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
And this must be the drain through which the money flows.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I know you have a very busy schedule, Senator.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Yes. Of course, General Hammond. Please be seated. Let me see. Colonel O'Neill. Captain Carter. Dr. Jackson. Teal'c. With an apostrophe, I understand. Let me first say that although illness robbed me of the chance to ever serve in this country's military, I have the greatest respect for those who do. Especially those who have made service of country their life's work. As I have in my own way. There is no more honourable vocation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Thank you, Senator. I couldn't agree more.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Having said that, I want to make one thing abundantly clear. I am by nature suspicious of all things secretive. Be they in the government or inside the military service. I believe that which grows in shadow, but withers in the light of day…does not belong on the vine. I've read several reports of your excursions. Colonel Samuels has been kind enough to brief me on the Stargate and I have tried to maintain an open mind. I must admit I find the very idea of this facility, of this command, offensive. It is far too dangerous to be this secretive. I have found several examples where you have averted tragedy on a global scale by the skin of your teeth, and virtually none where you have brought back anything of worth. However since I have, on occasion, been wrong before. The President of the United States has asked me to hear you out. So here I am.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well. So long as you've got an open mind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
For crying out loud! Samuels, what did you tell this man?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
The truth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Colonel Samuels was entirely nonpartisan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay, now that's impossible. He's been against this program from day one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
If anything, I voiced my awe and amazement at what the Stargate is: a technological marvel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It is so much more than that, Senator. The Stargate represents a giant step in our understanding of the universe. We have learned more about astrophysics in these few months than in the last 50 years.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It also gives us insights into human cultures that are thousands of years old.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Dr Jackson, I'm sure as a scholar of ancient mythology you're familiar with the story of Pandora.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
From Greek mythology, of course. The first woman ever created by Zeus, who according to legend, gave her a box and warned her never to open it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
But she did. Out of curiosity. Despite the warning of her god, who was also her father, she did. And from it sprung all the plagues, pestilence and evil that exists now in this world.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And keeping in mind we are talking about a myth, she closed it in time to keep hope inside.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Then should we not close your Gate for the same reason, to keep hope inside?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Senator if…if I may jump in here. I'm not as slick as you guys talking in metaphors here. I'm a military man. I prefer facts. And the fact is the Gate, i.e., the box, is already open. Now what is done is done. We made ourselves an enemy by killing Ra. But the threat the Goa'ulds now represent…</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Threat?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir. As in threatening.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
The word threat, Colonel O'Neill, has been used far too often by this country's military as a justification for expenditure that we can no longer afford. Do you know how much this program costs?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Seven-ish.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
7 billion, 407 million dollars.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Give or take.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Per year.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
With all due respect Senator, the Accounting Department is up on level 3, I believe. But if you want to talk about being the first line of defence against, what I believe is the greatest enemy humanity has ever faced…</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Hyperbole.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
See for yourself. General, I suggest we dial up 'ol P4A 771, I believe it was. See how long the good Senator lasts in that world.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
I have spent a career listening to doomsayers in uniform. Let us build our billion dollar machine and we will save America from the barbarians at the Gate. Let me remind you that the Cold War is over.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And let me tell you something. This time there really are barbarians. They're called Goa'ulds, and they really are at the Gate. That one!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Then I suggest we close it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Senator, we have reason to believe that the Goa'uld are about to launch an attack, in force, in ships.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Then I think they'll regret taking on the United States military.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh for Gods sake!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, you're right. We'll—We'll just upload a computer virus into the mothership.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
If they come in ships, Senator, we won't be any match for them. At their level of technology they can wipe us out from orbit.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
I'm not convinced of that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They speak the truth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
I'm not entirely convinced of that either.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(stands up) 
General, what the hell are we doing here? This man has made up his mind already.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
(also stands up) 
Sit down Colonel. When I've made up my mind, you will know it. I will ask you once more. Sit Down. Please.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel.</blockquote>

[O'Neill sits, and Kinsey also sits.]

<blockquote>KINSEY 
I gave the President my word that I would give you a fair hearing, and I intend to do that. He held you and your team up as a shining example of the fine work the SGC is doing. Now, do you stand by SG 1's record?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, I do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Then let's just go through it, shall we?</blockquote>

'''EXT—A TRUCK ENTERING CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN COMPLEX AT NIGHT'''

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Confidential folders are handed out among Kinsey's team.]

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Thank you. 
(opens and reads from the first file) 
On February 10th of this year, you along with a team lead by Major Charles Kawalsky went through the Stargate on a reconnaissance mission.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Excuse me, Senator. Samuels, could I get a copy of that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
You wrote this report, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Just want a little reference.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Samuels. 
(Samuels looks at aide next to him, who passes her report to O'Neill) 
To repeat. On the 10th of February of this year, you along with a team lead by Major Charles Kawalsky, went through the Stargate on a reconnaissance mission to rescue both Dr Jackson's wife and her brother, and to determine the Goa'uld threat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Excuse me, Senator. I'm sorry. There should be an apostrophe after the "A", before the "U". It's pronounced… 
(refers to Carter)</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
I assume, since shortly after arriving you were captured and imprisoned, that you would characterise this world as an enemy stronghold.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I would.</blockquote>

[Kinsey nods to Samuels.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
I read from the personal report of Colonel Jack O'Neill dated the 23rd February. "Skaara was chosen. I tried to stop them from taking him away, but was struck down by an alien staff weapon. In that moment, Apophis gave the order."</blockquote>

'''FLASHBACK—1.01 "CHILDREN OF THE GODS"'''

'''INT—DUNGEON OF APOPHIS' CASTLE ON CHULAK'''

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Kill the rest!</blockquote>

[Crowd screams and surges away from the serpent guards who walk down the stairs towards them. O'Neill, Daniel and Carter get off the ground. Amaunet and Apophis turn away and enter the sedan chair. Guards continue to advance down stairs, towards the panicking crowd. The sedan chair leaves, followed by some guards. The iron gate closes behind them, locking the prisoners in with the serpent guards. Teal'c, in serpent guard uniform, advances through the crowd. Serpent guards prime their weapons.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I can save these people!</blockquote>

[Teal'c whirls to face him, primes his staff weapon.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Help me! Help me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Many have said that. 
(whirls and shoots the first serpent guard) 
But you are the first I believe could do it.</blockquote>

[Teal'c throws his staff weapon to O'Neill. Carter pulls Daniel out of the line of fire. Teal'c grabs the fallen guards staff weapon. A firefight ensues, as the crowd cower against the back wall. Some prisoners are shot. O'Neill and Teal'c kill all the serpent guards and then race up the stairs to scare the other people outside the gate away. O'Neill turns at the top of the stairs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get out of the way!</blockquote>

<blockquote>People move away from the back wall. O'Neill blows a hole in the wall, and then runs over to the it, joined by Carter. Daniel gets to feet. O'Neill checks outside the prison wall, to ensure it is safe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on! Let's move!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Come on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Carter runs out the hole in the wall. People start running out after her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on!</blockquote>

'''EXT—CARTER HELPING PEOPLE OUT OF THE HOLE'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
Come on! Move! Go! Come on! Go! There you go! Come on! Go! Go! Come on!</blockquote>

'''INT—DUNGEON OF APOPHIS' CASTLE ON CHULAK'''

<blockquote>Teal'c walks down the stairs of the prison, unbuckling his breast plate, surveying the damage. He drops the breastplate. Dead Jaffa are on the floor.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM, PRESENT DAY'''

<blockquote>KINSEY 
So, even with your team unarmed, at the Enemy's mercy, in the palm of their hand as it were, one of their own was able to set you free.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It wasn't that simple, Senator.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
(to Samuels) 
Read on please.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
"We met heavy resistance on our return to the Stargate, and became pinned down by enemy aircraft."</blockquote>

'''FLASHBACK—1.01 "CHILDREN OF THE GODS"'''

'''EXT—CHULAK'''

[The prisoners led by O'Neill, Daniel, Carter and Teal'c run through the forest. A death glider sweeps down towards them. The glider primes its guns.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Take cover!</blockquote>

[Daniel helps people out of the way. People are running everywhere for cover. Explosions hit the ground as the first shots from death glider hit nearby. Fighter comes in to attack. More explosions. O'Neill and Teal'c fire staff weapons at the death glider. They hit the glider to no effect. The fighter continues to strafe the ground around them, one sweep past after another. O'Neill and Teal'c continue to fire at it. People are hit by the shots.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel! We're sitting ducks here.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c continue to fire at the death glider. A member of one of SG-2 fires a ground to air missile at the glider and hits it directly. It hits the ground and explodes.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM, PRESENT DAY'''

[Kinsey gets up and starts to walk around the table.]

<blockquote>KINSEY 
It seems to me that Major Kawalsky made light work of what you refer to in your report as a death glider.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They were taken by surprise. I wouldn't expect it to be as easy next time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Or not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well for one, they weren't use to fighting humans with our level of technology. Now they know what we have.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't think you understand how much more powerful their weapons are.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Yet you managed to get away with minimal casualties. Hardly the greatest threat humanity has ever faced.</blockquote>

[Kinsey walks by the briefing room window. The Gate activates.]

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It's just SG-2 returning on schedule, Senator.</blockquote>

[View over Kinsey shoulder as SG-2 emerge from the event horizon.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
There is nothing to worry about.</blockquote>

[The Gate shuts down.]

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Oh, I disagree General. I think it is something to worry about.</blockquote>

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN COMPLEX—NIGHTTIME'''

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM, PRESENT DAY'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Mister Kinsey seems to be under the impression that the Goa'uld are not a military threat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
You seem to have defeated them handily at every turn.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Did you read all the reports, sir? They actually killed us once.</blockquote>

'''FLASHBACK—1.08 "THE NOX"'''

'''EXT—FOREST ON NOX PLANET (PC3-117)'''

[Apophis and serpent guards walking through forest. Apophis stops, sensing something is wrong.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Shakel!</blockquote>

[Serpent guard walks in front and examines a foot print in the dirt. They walk into ravine. Teal'c runs out from cover and fires staff weapon at the serpent guards. Guards take cover and return fire. Carter pops up from undergrowth and fires her MP5 at the serpent guards. They respond to her fire as well as Teal'c's. Daniel also appears behind a boulder and fires his beretta at the guards. Apophis looks around him. O'Neill comes up behind him and takes aim with a rifle. Apophis turns and sees him. Activates a personal defence shield as O'Neill fires. Apophis calls to Jaffa for a staff weapon, which is thrown towards him. Apophis lets the personal defence shield down for a second to catch the staff weapon as O'Neill fires at him again. Apophis then turns and fires it at jack. The blast catches jack on the back and he falls to the ground. Carter and Daniel see O'Neill has been hit.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel!</blockquote>

[Carter leaps out from behind her cover, and is shot in the stomach by apophis. Daniel also leaps from behind cover and is shot by apophis. He tumbles to the ground. Teal'c is still shooting at the serpent guards. He breaks from cover, firing at apophis who still has his personal defence shield in place.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM, PRESENT DAY'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
Senator, if Goa'uld technology can generate energy shields around individuals, they can do the same thing with whole armies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And ships.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
And have you ever seen one of these ships?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir.</blockquote>

'''FLASHBACK—1.15 "Singularity"'''

'''EXT—MOTHERSHIP DESCENDING OVER PYRAMID'''

[Lightning flashes.]

'''INT—TEMPORARY ASTRONOMY LABORATORY ON HANKA'''

[Shot of computer screen. A Goa'uld ship is seen on the screen. O'Neill and Teal'c are in the temporary astronomy laboratory on Hanka.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is the ship of the Goa'uld Nirti. An enemy of Apophis.</blockquote>

[From the shot of the computer screen, death gliders are seen launching into orbit around Hanka.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Now what he hell is that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We must go!</blockquote>

'''EXT—HANKA'''

[Two death gliders are firing at O'Neill (in yellow hazmat suit) and Teal'c as they run away from the ships. Shots almost hit them. They dive into undergrowth.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We must get to the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No argument from me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This Goa'uld Nirti, he once sent an emissary of peace to negotiate a treaty concerning a Stargate Apophis had control of. The negotiation was a ploy. The Stargate was destroyed.</blockquote>

[More explosions. O'Neill and Teal'c run for the stargate along a path through a field of crops as death gliders fly overhead. O'Neill is almost hit by one shot. He falls and then gets back to his feet as Teal'c dials the DHD.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Take your time. No hurry.</blockquote>

'''INT—GATE ROOM AS GATE ENGAGES'''

'''EXT—HANKA'''

[O'Neill and Teal'c run towards the gate and jump through the event horizon.]

'''WORMHOLE TRAVEL'''

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[O'Neill and Teal'c run out of the event horizon. Daniel in control room looks on as O'Neill runs down the ramp, ripping his helmet off.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM, PRESENT DAY'''

<blockquote>KINSEY 
You escaped, Colonel. On foot, I might add.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Just one of these Goa'uld ships was responsible for the deaths of SG-7, and the entire local population. And that's over 1,000 people.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The point is, sir, we have seen how the Goa'uld have destroyed entire civilisations.</blockquote>

'''FLASHBACK—1.07 "COLD LAZARUS"'''

'''INT—CARTER'S LAB'''

[Teal'c, Hammond, O'Neill, Carter and Daniel in Carter's lab. Carter talks to the blue crystal.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hello?</blockquote>

[Crystal changes shape, refects Carter's face back. Everyone backs away.]

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
Hello.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What are you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
Energy. Unity. You would describe me thus.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You asked for help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
If I remain here my energy will disintegrate. I must return.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Why did you not speak before?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
Fear.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Fear of what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
The Goa'uld came to our planet long ago. We were not afraid then, and we tried to greet them. One of them touched us as you did 
(flash to O'Neill on planet walking through crystal forest) 
and was destroyed by our energy.</blockquote>

'''EXT—CRYSTAL PLANET (P3X-562)'''

[O'Neill walks through the crystals, towards one. View from crystal's POV of O'Neill walking towards it and going to touch it. O'Neill touches crystal and is thrown back ten feet or so, unconscious.]

'''INT—CARTER'S LAB'''

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The Goa'uld must have come through the Gate exploring.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's why it was afraid. We look just like them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
One of the Goa'uld was killed?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
They gathered all the Unity in one place, and ended it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We confirmed Goa'uld energy weapons did it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Then that pit wasn't a ceremonial place at all. It was some kind of…mass grave.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM, PRESENT DAY'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'd call that a threat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Admittedly, these Goa'uld are a dangerous race.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
More dangerous than you could possibly know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Ah well, if they're so strong, why did you switch sides in the first place?</blockquote>

[Kinsey walks to window overlooking the Stargate.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Because what is right can not be measured by strength. Your world values freedom. I wish that very same freedom for my people.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Well, I don't want to appear callous, sir, but I believe that's your problem.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Of course!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(gets up and walks towards Kinsey) 
It will soon be yours as well Senator Kinsey. For the Goa'uld are as powerful as they are evil. The Goa'uld have enslaved a galaxy of worlds.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
I don't care about other worlds. I must place the citizens of this country first. 
(points to USA flag pin on his lapel)</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Then you would be wise to heed our warnings, Senator Kinsey. For when the Goa'uld finally do come in force, and they will, your citizens as the strongest, most powerful country of this world, will be among the first to die.</blockquote>

[Standoff between the two, Kinsey breaks away first. Teal'c looks down over gate, remains standing. Kinsey sits back at the briefing table. Looks at Samuels and gestures for him to continue. Samuels opens next folder.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
On your return from the Chulak mission, Major Kawalsky became infested with a Goa'uld parasite, correct?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's correct.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
He very nearly destroyed this facility</blockquote>

'''FLASHBACK—1.03 "THE ENEMY WITHIN"'''

'''INT—CONTROL ROOM'''

[Kawalsky is in the control room, possessed by Goa'uld, dialling up the gate. Sgt Davis is near him, cradling his arm in pain. Kawalsky leaves the control room and goes into the Gate room as the blast shutter goes down on the window between the two rooms. Kawalsky walks into Gate room and is confronted by Teal'c on the ramp, blocking his way.]

<blockquote>Kawalsky 
(in Goa'uld voice) 
Jaffa kal sha.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You cannot pass.</blockquote>

'''INT—CONTROL ROOM'''

[O'Neill and Hammond run down the steps into the control room.]

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

<blockquote>SGT DAVIS 
He set the coordinates for Chulak.</blockquote>

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Kawalsky roars and rushes up the ramp at Teal'c. They struggle.]

'''INT—CONTROL ROOM'''

[Computer screen of autodestruct sequence. 56 seconds to detonation.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
He set the autodestruct sequence on the fail-safe device.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How did he have the code?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I don't know. But I need two ranking officers to override and you're it.</blockquote>

[Hammond and O'Neill enter appropriate codes.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Teal'c and kawalsky struggle on the ramp. Kawalsky tries to break through the event horizon. Teal'c pulls him back.]

'''INT—CONTROL ROOM'''

[Computer screen: autodestruct sequence stops.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Right. That did it. Open the blast doors.</blockquote>

[Cut to Teal'c and kawalsky struggling at the event horizon. Cut to view into the control room from Gate room as blast doors open. O'Neill and Hammond look up to see the struggle on the gate ramp. Teal'c and kawalsky still struggling. O'Neill grabs microphone.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c! Hold him there!</blockquote>

[Teal'c forces kawalsky's head into the event horizon.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Shut it down… 
(indicated to Sgt Davis) 
Now!</blockquote>

[Event horizon shuts off and kawalsky's face goes blank.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM, PRESENT DAY'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We stopped him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Yes you did. On that occasion. With the loss of a fine officer you did. But consider the myriad plagues you can bring back through the Stargate. Reason enough to shut it down forever. 
(gestures to Samuels) 
Colonel Samuels.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
I quote now from the official report of General Hammond. Dated March of this year. Concerning a dangerous disease brought back by SG-1 from another world.</blockquote>

'''FLASHBACK—1.05 "THE BROCA DIVIDE"'''

'''INT—GENERAL HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

[Hammond is on the phone.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Sir, I'm afraid I have a serious situation here. It appears we've brought a very contagious disease through the Stargate. 
(listens) 
Yes, sir, that's right. 
(listens) 
Well sir, I've ordered the mountain sealed off. I think you should order in an armed division to set up a second line of defence. 
(listens) 
Well, sir, my recommendation is that anyone attempting to leave the mountain should be shot on sight. And their body burned.</blockquote>

'''INT—CELL AT SGC'''

[O'Neill is infected by the Touched virus. Sf guard looks through the door window and then opens the door. General Hammond is led into the cell. He's in a straightjacket and is affected by the virus.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Sorry, Colonel O'Neill, but your private room just became semiprivate. I'm running out of places to put all the victims. We've used the brigs, we've used the temp quarters…some of the storage rooms.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(mumbles) 
Doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Did you say something?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Give more.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
What? Give more what?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>FRAISER 
An injection? You…You mean you want more sedative? You've already had more than the maximum safe dosage, twice as much as anyone else because you've been more violent.

O'NEILL 
Give.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
No,it's not safe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Give! Give.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Why are you so insistent?</blockquote>

[She gestures for syringe and gives O'Neill another shot of sedative. O'Neill loses consciousness.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Must have been in a lot of pain. 
(goes to walk away)</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Colonel O'Neill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Its…me…</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
So you are still in there somewhere?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I'm afraid not Colonel, its very real. This is interesting; enough sedative must knock back the primitive mind. Colonel. Listen to me. I am not going to be able to keep you at this level for very long. It is too dangerous it could cause permanent brain damage.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Wha…what is it…</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It s a parasitical virus, all we can tell is that it seems to mess with the body chemicals, all them. Testosterone levels skyrocket, thus the aggressive behaviour. It's a histaminolitic which means it breaks down the histamine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Exp…peri…ment.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Exp…eriment on me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Experiment on you? No, sir, I can't do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Use me.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM, PRESENT DAY'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We saved an entire race of people. I'd call that success, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
But if you hadn't been able to find a cure so readily, if it had reached the general population, if the effects weren't reversible. Colonel O'Neill, you very nearly died on yet another occasion when infected by…</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Nanocytes, sir.</blockquote>

'''FLASHBACK—1.09 "BRIEF CANDLE"'''

'''INT—ARGOS GATE ROOM'''

[The Gate is dialing up. Daniel gathers books and runs down the stairs.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack! Carter's coming back. 
(he runs off to hallway at left of screen) 
Jack!</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks into screen. He has aged significantly since last seen. He walks into the Gate room with Daniel following. Carter emerges from wormhole carrying a large case. She comes down the stairs and slows at bottom of them, staring at the colonel.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Welcome back, Captain. So what did you find out? Oh, come on now, don't don't keep the elderly waiting. It's rude.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It isn't a virus.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, what is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, Dr. Fraiser and I came up empty. She's still working on it. But it's going to take time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Time is something these people don't have, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nor do I.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, there's something else. Your blood samples show way more organisms compared to the Argosians.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How many more?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Maybe on the level of a hundred times more. And they are multiplying.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Cut to it, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
At the rate you are changing, by the end of 2 weeks you'll be the equivalent of 100 years old.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC, MED LAB'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
We've given the nanocytes some live tissue to interact with but they aren't touching it. The only thing they appear to do is make more of themselves. So how are they causing the aging on Argos?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Maybe there is something on Argos that they need to make them do another task. Something in the air or the food.</blockquote>

[Nanocytes start eating away at the gloves Carter is wearing.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Ugh!</blockquote>

[She whips hands out of gloves and closes the contamination chamber with nanocytes in it.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(from observation room) 
Is there a problem, Captain Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I—I don't know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Well, it's eating through the rubber.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh, God. 
(washing hands)</blockquote>

'''INT—OBSERVATION CHAMBER'''

[Daniel and Teal'c are observing.]

'''INT—MED LAB'''

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
They are trying to spread.</blockquote>

'''INT—OBSERVATION CHAMBER'''

[Daniel and Teal'c are observing.]

'''INT—ARGOS GATE ROOM'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
We're working with computer simulations and practical simulations. Realistically, sir, I'm afraid it might take years.</blockquote>

[O'Neill sitting on steps looking at mini video player with message from Carter, Daniel and Teal'c. He has aged significantly, with long white hair.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The general says that Gate travel to Argos is strictly off limits for the next few uh millennia. But we can send objects through, so if you need anything, just call…Say something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Colonel, I've learned very much from you. Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You know, goodbyes really suck.</blockquote>

[O'Neill rewinds the tape.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM, PRESENT DAY'''

<blockquote>KINSEY 
As I understand it, you almost lost containment, Captain Carter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, they tried to mutate in the lab. But after the incident, the general ordered all samples of the nanocyte destroyed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
And what about next time?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
There won't be a next time. The nanocytes, the transmitter devices, everything that tampered with the population of that world has been destroyed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
In fact, SG-2 just made contact with Kynthia's planet just a few weeks ago. They are living long, productive lives because of us. Now I am very proud of what we did there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I might even retire there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
(laughs) 
You have no fear of it do you, Colonel? It's like a game to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, sir. Anything as powerful as the Stargate deserves respect. We know how dangerous it is to do what we do. We also know how important it is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Colonel O'Neill! You're like reckless children and you're playing with fire.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
If you shut down this program now, when it's needed most…</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
For what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
To gather technology, weapons.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Not at this price, or this level of competence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
My people are the best out there, Senator.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
I'm sorry, General, but your best is not good enough. I do not approve of, nor support this endeavour and I have heard nothing here today that would change my mind. I intend to shut the Stargate down.</blockquote>

[Kinsey nods to Samuels, gather papers and leaves. Samuels looks smug. Daniel gets up from the table and blocks senator Kinsey's path out of the room.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Senator, please. Listen to me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
I think he's made up his mind, Dr. Jackson.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You want your one reason, I'll give it to you. What if I told you I knew that they were coming, in ships? What if I said that a ship larger than the great pyramids was gong to land right on top of this mountain in a matter of weeks, maybe days?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Then I would be curious to know why you've waited until this moment until before saying so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Because I didn't think anyone would believe me. And if I didn't live through it myself, I'm not sure I would. But it is a fact. And if you shut this program down, you have robbed us of our one chance to stop them before they get here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Uh, where did you learn this information.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
On our last mission. We came across a civilisation with a level of technology similar to our own. They had been wiped out. They left behind a warning. "Beware the Destroyers". Now along with that warning, came a set of numbers, coordinates that indicate where the final Goa'uld attack will be launched from.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
And did all of you witness this warning?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, sir, they didn't. Just me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir. We think Daniel may have experienced an interdimensional transfer to an alternate reality.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
I beg your pardon?</blockquote>

<blockquote>Daniel 
The moment I touched an alien artefact on 233, I was separated from the rest of the team. I was actually transported to an alternate reality where Earth was already under Goa'uld attack. I got this when I was there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
(disbelieving laughter) 
My heaven. I've heard enough of this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Senator! The Goa'uld were bombarding our cities from space. We were defenceless against their weapons.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Dr. Jackson, I do not suffer fools gladly.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Nor do I, Senator, and I'm telling you, when we killed Ra two years ago, we set into motion a chain of events that will eventually lead to an all out attack on Earth by the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
If this is so, why have they waited?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It would take time for Apophis to assemble the necessary forces.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Right. Their society is feudal. It would take time to build an Army. Look, all I know is the location that their going to launch the final attack from. If you don't believe me, just let us dial in the coordinates and let us go there and find out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
How many ships, Dr. Jackson? Has anyone detected their approach?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, I cannot be sure of the exact details. I mean there were, there were differences between that reality and…and this one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Oh, of course there were.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I am not crazy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Nor am I, Dr. Jackson. Neither am I unused to eleventh hour pleas. Though never have I heard one so desperate as this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Senator. They are coming.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Then I say, let them come.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where do you get this bureaucratic bull? You're talking suicide.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
Colonel O'Neill. You underestimate this great nation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is you who underestimate the Enemy. We have challenged Apophis. He will not rest until the people of this world worship him as their God.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
There is only one God, sir. And I do not believe for one moment He will allow what you are trying to tell me to come to pass. We are after all, One Nation Under God.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(stands) 
And you think God is going to save us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The Goa'uld believe they are Gods. And your beliefs will not dissuade them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
If the Goa'uld do come, then we will be able to tell them that we have buried our Gate in the ground forever and will never step through it again. If they challenge us, we shall prevail.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You're a fool.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KINSEY 
And if they do not come, which I think is infinitely more likely, then at least Pandora's box will have finally been closed once and for all. Now if you will excuse me, I have business to attend to.</blockquote>

[Kinsey leaves, followed by aides.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
For what it's worth, I'm sorry it had to end like this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Get out of here.</blockquote>

[Samuels leaves.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
General Hammond, I would like to request permission to return through the Stargate before it's permanently sealed. If this world does not intend to continue its struggle against the Goa'uld, then here I do not belong.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I think I'm going with him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I can't allow that Colonel. I'm sorry, but you know that. The President has made it perfectly clear if we were unable to convince the Senator we would cease operations effective immediately.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, there are still two SG teams offworld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We'll keep the light on until they return. But that's all I'm authorised to do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So…what? That's it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That's it, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It can't be.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
With all due respect, sir, its…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sir, with all due respect, the good senator is an ass.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
He is an elected official of the government we are sworn to serve. Whether we agree or disagree, he's made his decision. Our commander in chief has given us our orders accordingly. I expect you all to carry them out. Dismissed.</blockquote>

[Hammond leaves room.]

'''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

Show him.</blockquote>

[Carter makes a hand gesture to follow her, and all leave the room.]

[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.

<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>

[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>

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>

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.]

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

<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>

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.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Start it up. Give it a count of five, then blow it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Good luck.

'''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.]

<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>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.]

Another version of our lives that— that actually exists. It's incredible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL

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.]

'''INT—AU SGC GATE ROOM'''

[Hammond is addressing the troops]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The enemy will most likely penetrate this level any time now. But every minute counts. If and when we get the Stargate open from our end, we will retreat through it. But until then, we must keep them away from the control room and the Stargate at any cost. Understood?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MEN 
Yes, sir!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Your efforts and your dedication have always made me proud to serve with all of you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAN 
Bravo Company, move out! Formation three.</blockquote>

'''INT—AU SGC HALLWAY'''

[The Jaffa are positioning their staff cannon at a door. Teal'c looks on when the door opens. Teal'c turns around, staff weapon drawn.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Kree Shak!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Don't shoot! I'm unarmed! 
(Pulls his cap off.) 
I surrender.</blockquote>

[The Jaffa continue to point their staffs at O'Neill, while Teal'c strides over to him and glares at him.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
And you are?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General Jack O'Neill, Commander of this base. You're Teal'c, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAFFA WARRIOR 
Hagga shak!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(holds a hand up to the warrior) 
Ha're kree.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You'll be wondering how I know your name. 
(Teal'c glowers at him.) 
I've got quite a story to tell you.</blockquote>

[Teal'c considers his words.]

'''INT—AU SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Carter, Catherine, and the Airman are seated at the control.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
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 
(icily) 
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.]

'''INT—AU SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Catherine is at the controls. Daniel and Carter are there, as well.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Four minutes. You two better get into the Gate room.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Catherine—</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE. 
Not arguments, Doctor. They need you at the beta site.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What about you?</blockquote>

<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 
I guess in the grand scheme of things, we're even.</blockquote>

[Daniel looks at her for a few moments, nods, then heads down the stairs to the Gate room. Catherine watches him leave.]

'''INT—AU SGC GATE ROOM'''

[An explosion is heard and Daniel runs into the Gate room from the hallway. Daniel sees Catherine through the windows of the control room as she sits at the controls.]

'''INT—AU SGC HALLWAY'''

[The hallway is darkened, red lights flashing. Jaffa scramble in and take position to fire on SGC personnel who have taken up defensive positions in the corridor defending the Gate room and control room. Hammond and the Airman and other soldiers are firing upon Jaffa.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Fall back, Colonel! We have to fall back!</blockquote>

[Hammond continues to fire until his weapon jams and he is eventually shot by a staff weapon. Jaffa warriors step over Hammond's dead body and head down the hallways toward the control room.]

'''INT—AU SGC GATE ROOM'''

[Daniel turns his gaze from the Gate to Catherine in the booth.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
(through the speakers) 
Two minutes!</blockquote>

'''INT—AU SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Carter has her hands in the air and is surrounded by Jaffa warriors aiming their weapons at her. In her hand, she holds the mirror's remote control device. Explosions are going off in the background.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I surrender! I have information that can help Apophis. There is technology that he will want to know about. This is a remote control to an interdimensional portal. I can tell Apophis how to find it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAFFA WARRIOR 
Macha Tre'ac</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(cautiously hands the device to the Jaffa warrior.) 
Thank you. 
{She pulls a grenade out of her pocket.) 
Oh, yea. I also wish to blow us all to hell.</blockquote>

[She holds up the grenade, the pin pulled.]

'''INT—AU SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Catherine is still seated at the controls.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Time's up!</blockquote>

[There is an explosion overhead, and Catherine turns to look up the stairwell.]

'''INT—AU SGC GATE ROOM'''

[The blast doors are closed as Daniel waits for the dial-in program to begin. A staff weapon blast at the door draws Daniel's attention, then the Stargate's incoming wormhole shuts down. Immediately the dial-in program starts.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(looks at the Gate) 
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 
Autodestruct in ten seconds, nine, eight, seven…</blockquote>

[Teal'c stands in the Gate room awaiting the inevitable as the computer counts down.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER VOICE 
…six, five, four, three, two, one.</blockquote>

[The scene fades to white.]

'''INT—AU P3R-233 STARGATE ROOM'''

[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>

'''TEASER'''

[Offworld in a dark building. After coming up of a ladder, we have a view on a Stargate. When it shuts down, we see SG-1 that just came through the Gate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Colonel speaking. Welcome to P3X niner-eight-niner, where it's a balmy…room temperature…Fan it out!</blockquote>

[They start investigating the chamber they are in. O'Neill is looking at a ball of light which is suspended from the ceiling above them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Whoa…Well the lights are on…but there's nobody home!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The technology seems advanced by comparison to what we've seen on most of the human-inhabited planets. Maybe they are more advanced than Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They're much more.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, it feels older…somehow.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know how it feels. This place have seen better days.</blockquote>

[SG-1 explores the compound.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
At least it doesn't appear to be a Goa'uld origin.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, have you run into something like this?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Computer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SG-1 arrives at what a control room, filled with banks of computers. Carter touches one of the computers, triggering an unusual sound.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, that sounds ominous! Fall back.</blockquote>

[They are making their way back to the Gate when they are suddenly zap by a light and they all fall down on the floor.]

'''END OF TEASER'''

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''INT—LABORATORY'''

[We see O'Neill waking up. The four members of SG-1 are all lying down in a room, each dressed in black clothes. O'Neill looks confused. Carter is lying down on the table next to him.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Whoa…How did we get into these outfits?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't know.</blockquote>

[O'Neill gets up.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Welcome to PX3-989.</blockquote>

[Carter also stands up as O'Neill is moving towards the rest of his team members. Everything is still dark.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
My transmitter's gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel? Teal'c? You guys are okay?</blockquote>

[Carter stops at Daniel's table, while O'Neill goes over to help Teal'c.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am well.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah, I'm fine.</blockquote>

[Daniel sits up.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Better than fine actually, when you consider the fact that we are just…</blockquote>

[He doesn't have the time to finish his sentence when someone enters the room.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Com-traya! Com-traya!</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I think that's a greeting.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Yes, it is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh! Well then…uh…Com-traya. We are explorers from a place call Earth. I'm Daniel. Hello.</blockquote>

[He holds out his hand to the man.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh! This is your custom, yes? Hello!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
(To Daniel) 
You are the leader?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, no. That will be… 
(He points to O'Neill)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Me! Colonel Jack O'Neill. Cumbaya.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Com-traya. 
(He laughs kindly at O'Neill.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Whatever. Why did you attack us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Attack? Oh, attack, yes, of course. It would seem that way from your perceptive. Yes, I did that.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HARLAN 
It could not be helped! Oh, are you suffering any pain? Any after effects? Occasionally the heart must be restarted.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, no. I think that we feel fine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Ah, Com-traya! You are all such wonderful specimens! 
(Turns to Carter.) 
You in particular, female!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel?</blockquote>

[Carter moves towards Harlan.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Easy Captain. 
(To Harlan) 
Listen, we had some things…when we got here…some weapons.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh, those, hmm. Yes. Very dangerous.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Very. Can we have them back?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And our uniforms?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Sorry, but they are gone. This is better, yes?</blockquote>

[Harlan touches Carter's shoulder.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
No.</blockquote>

[Carter moves away from Harlan.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
I am Harlan. 
(He holds out his hand to Daniel.) 
I am the last survivor of Altar.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Excuse me? The last survivor? You're the only one of this planet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Yes. And your weapons are this way.</blockquote>

[SG-1 follow Harlan through the complex.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
We are in section 3. There has been trouble here lately.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What kind of trouble?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Mechanical breakdowns. Very difficult to maintain this complex all alone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Listen, Harlan, is there an outside of this place?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Outside is above, we are under.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Under…the surface?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh yes, on the surface we cannot survive. Hmm, radiation. Very, very bad. Ah! This way to section 4!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Eh, what happened to your civilisation? Surely, you started on the surface and then move under.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh, yes, long ago!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We are curious to learn about others worlds, we would love to hear about what happened on the surface.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
All in time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We've got all the time in the world!</blockquote>

[Harlan chuckles in response to this.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Yes, you do. You understand? Com-traya!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Now, what is that "Com-traya!", is that like "Aloha"?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Harlan, how long have you been on your own?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Eh, now, let me see, Wallas was the last one to go. I miss him. But, you all remind me a little of Wallas. Eh, except for you, of course, you are a female. 
(Harlan turns from Carter to Teal'c.) 
And you are…whatever you are. 
(Teal'c and O'Neill glance at each other.) 
Hubald, he was the creator of all this, but he died very early…too early…Many secrets with him, so long ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How long, exactly?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Eh, exactly? Ninety-nine million, two hundred and seven thousand of your hours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, that's 11,000 years.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How did you know that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Startled) 
That's right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Thinking) 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(To O'Neill) 
Wait, how did you know that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
See. Everything is better. Even your minds. You are all much, much better!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Better than what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
You do not feel it? You are not stronger? Smarter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack, I think he's right. I feel great.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Of course you do. Because I have given you a great gift. I have made you all…better!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Better, how?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh, I have not hurt you! I have only made you…better.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, listen, listen closely, I'm going to ask you one more time, very simply, better…how?!</blockquote>

[Harlan doesn't answer.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're gone! We're out of here!</blockquote>

[SG-1 head back towareds the Stargate. Harlan looks worried. The team arrives at the Gate and they have their weapons back.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter, dial us home!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Wait! You—you—you cannot leave! I—I—I cannot leave either! It is not safe!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What is not safe? Tell us!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
All in time, there is so much you must know first.</blockquote>

[The Gate kawooshes and Carter sends the GDO signal.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
You will be back! You will! You cannot leave me here.. all…alone…[He stands staring, worried as the Gate shuts down.) 
Oh, dear!</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[All the members of SG-1 are present, hovering as Dr. Fraiser examines O'Neill.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Colonel, how do you feel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Never felt better in my life! That gets me a little worried actually.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Yeah, well, this has got me a little worried. 
(Fraiser gives O'Neill her stethoscope.) 
Listen.</blockquote>

[O'Neill listens to his heart.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't hear anything. What, this is better? I'm dead?!</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Well, Colonel, to make sense of this I going to have to do a blood sample.</blockquote>

[Fraiser takes a blood sample from O'Neill. A milky white liquid is drawn into the syringe.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
My God, what the hell is that? Get that out of me!</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Look, eh, I'm going to need x-rays on all of them. Stat!</blockquote>

[In the background, Teal'c begins to rub his abdomen.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What did he do to us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I don't know. Just let's everybody stay calm.</blockquote>

[Teal'c lifts his shirt and he realises that his larval Goa'uld is no longer there.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I no longer possess a Goa'uld.</blockquote>

[At this, O'Neill grabs a knife, braces his arm against the table, then begins to cut open his arm from his wrist to almost his elbow.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel! What the hell are you doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Colonel!</blockquote>

[Then O'Neill peels back his skin to reveal a mechanical interior of circuits and pistons.]

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

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Dear God!</blockquote>

[As Carter helps O'Neill, Fraiser moves away to sound the alarm.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Alert, Security to the Infirmary!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Whoa! Security? Doctor Frasier, it is us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Just, don't come any closer.</blockquote>

[The secutiry team arrives in the infirmary.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Stand down airmen, just a little misunderstanding. That's an order.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Belay that order!</blockquote>

[General Hammond enters the Infirmary.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
General, that is not Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, for crying out loud, General, it's me!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Would you call that human blood?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I have reasons to believe that they are all impostors. He, or whatever he is, has no detectable heartbeat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Take them to the holding room. Put a guard outside.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General Hammond. 
(O'Neill gets up and walks over to face Hammond.) 
I don't know what that sonovabitch on 989 did, but I swear to God…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Follow the instructions.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Interrupting) 
Your wife died of cancer four years ago!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
And you will not be hurt!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Your granddaughters' names are Tessa and Kayla!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Any resistance by any of you will be met with deadly force! Is that understood?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Understood. Perfectly.</blockquote>

[O'Neill leads the way out of the Infirmary, followed by the rest of his team and the security team.]

'''INT—SGC'''

[Gen. Hammond and Dr. Fraiser are watching SG-1 via a monitor.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Looks and sounds like our people. They certainly believe they are SG-1.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It may be another Goa'uld trick.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I don't know what to believe. He was right about the names of my grandchildren. How else would he have known, if he isn't Jack O'Neill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Sir, given our history with the Goa'uld, I believe keeping them here would be extremely dangerous.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC HOLDING ROOM'''

[Daniel is staring in fascination at his right hand.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's incredible, it looks like mine, it feels like mine, it is mine, I mean I don't feel any different. If anything, I feel better!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, that's what Harlan said.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Why didn't he just tell us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Probably afraid we'd damage him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Perceptive little runt.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You know, Colonel, you can't blame General Hammond for confining us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, I know who I am!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So do I! In every respect I feel like Carter. But the evidence. Harlan must have transferred our consciousness into these bodies!"</blockquote>

[Teal'c paces the room, holding his abdomen.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Bodies? Did you see the inside of this arm? We're machines, Carter.</blockquote>

[Daniel is watching Teal'c pace.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Teal'c? Are you okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well…for starters you've lost your…infant Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I still feel its presence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Really? That must be like continuing to feel a limb after it's been lost.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, for crying out loud! Daniel! I'm glad you're so fascinated by all this, but it's time for a little reality check. Okay? We are being help prisoner by our own people.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, they can't keep us in here forever…I mean….</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why not? What do you think is going to happen? You really think military intelligence is going to let us continue as SG-1…like this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We still have our rights, Jack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What rights are you talking about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, no matter what he's done to us, were still.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Interrupting) 
Human? Is that what you were going to say?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Harlan said we'd be back. Now we know why.</blockquote>

[Hammond enters the holding room.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill? Whoever you are. I have decided to send SG-5 back to P3X-989. See if they can shed some light on this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's a mistake.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Because old Harlan will do to them what he did to us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Harlan?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The indigenous person we encountered on the other side, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We do believe that he transferred out conciseness into these artificial bodies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Why would anyone do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well he thought he was doing us a favour. He thinks this is better. And I never even really thought of it at the time, but he must be artificial too.</blockquote>

[Daniel lowers his head, looking exhausted.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
That must explain how he got to be 11,000 years old.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General? 
(O'Neill is battling exhaustion too, looking as if he might pass out.) 
I think that it's imperative that we go back.</blockquote>

[Each of the team members collapses. Hammond rushes forward to help them.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Get Dr. Fraiser!</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Yes, Sir!</blockquote>

[Carter and Teal'c hold their throats as if they are having difficulty breathing while Daniel is holding his head.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, we've got to go back. 
(O'Neill grabs Hammond's shoulder in desperation.)</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[O'Neill and the other members of SG-1 are being helped towards the Stargate.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Will send another team through within the hour!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Negative. Don't risk anymore.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Get this Gate open!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHEVRON GUY 
Stand by.</blockquote>

'''INT—HARLAN'S COMPOUND: THE STARGATE'''

[The four members of SG-1 tumble out of the wormhole and lie before the Gate in a state of collapse. They begin to stir, finally sitting up.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
My strength returns.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We ran out of energy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, if these bodies are machines, they need a power source. It's here.</blockquote>

[We hear Harlan's approach.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Ah! Com-traya! Here is where you belong now. Here is the only place you can be. 
(He is chuckling)</blockquote>

[O'Neill is seething with anger. Suddenly he jumps up, grabs Harlan by his collar and throws him against the Gate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You sonova!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
You nearly waited too long. I was worried. Feel better?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Better. What the hell did you do to us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
You are angry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't break you in half.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, he's the only one who can put our consciousness back into our real bodies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh! No, no, no, I cannot do that. In time you will see, I have transferred your consciousness into the synthetic</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Still hold Harlan by his collar, O'Neill yells at him) 
Well transfer us back! Now!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
No, I cannot, it is permanent.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I do not want to hear that!

HARLAN 
You are damaging me.</blockquote>

[Harlan is choking. O'Neill holds him for a few more seconds, then finally lets him go.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
I am sorry, but there is no way to do what you ask. Your bodies are all gone; it is all part of the process. This is what you are now. You will see; it is better.</blockquote>

[SG-1 appears defeated by this news.]

'''INT—CORRIDOR IN HARLAN'S COMPOUND'''

[The team is following Harlan through the compound.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
This way. Around the corner, just a few more steps and home again!</blockquote>

[They enter the laboratory in which they earlier regained consciousness.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
You should rest now. Your internal systems are not yet fully recharged, and they were aloud to drain far to low.</blockquote>

[Looking exhausted, Carter, Daniel and Teal'c sit while O'Neill continues to seethe.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER 
Attention, coolant leak in secondary coils in section 2, immediate attention is required.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Section 2, you see now why I needed you? This place is more then one man can maintain! Oh, so much to do. You will see, you will all feel much better soon. 
(Harlan leaves the laboratory.) 
Oh, this will not take long at all.</blockquote>

[O'Neill continues to pace.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack, he said we should rest. We don't want to run out of energy again.</blockquote>

[O'Neill ignores him.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
He's right about this place, half of the stuff of this complex isn't working. The rest is marginal. I mean, look around. He's been jerry-rigging thing's for centuries. He was desperate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I say let this place fall down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
To condemn Harlan would be to condemn ourselves.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Your point being?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What is done is done.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh please. Has it occurred to anyone that all we are now is robots?</blockquote>

[O'Neill is upset. Everybody sits in silence his outburst after that. O'Neill suddenly walks around and opens the laboratory doors.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Where are you going?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm going to find Harlan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Don't worry, it's just to talk. Robot to robot.</blockquote>

[Daniel shakes his head as the doors are closing. Suddenly, a smile appears on his face.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh it's nothing. Umm, this notion of living a 11,000 years entered my mind for a moment and I couldn't…it's a lot to take in.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Apparently we've got time to adjust. We really do have all the same sensations and perceptions that we did in our human form.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, if you think about it, the human body is just a machine. It's a vessel for our consciousness, I mean, it's just an organic one. I mean, it performs work, requires fuel.</blockquote>

[Carter shakes her head in disagreement.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's not the same, Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No it isn't, but, maybe in away Harlan was right, maybe in away this is better. I mean where still us, were still…unique. Every thought, every feeling.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Have you felt hungry, or thirsty since this happened?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No!</blockquote>

[Without warning, Teal'c suddenly stands up and walks to the door.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Teal'c?. You still okay?</blockquote>

[Teal'c doesn't answer and leaves the laboratory. Daniel and Carter follow him out but are unable to find him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Where did he go?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Probably wants to be alone. I don't blame him. 
(Carter points out the hall in front of them.) 
That way.</blockquote>

[Cut to Teal'c resting against a wall, holding his abdomen, struggling to breathe. He begins to shake violently. Cut to Harlan attempting a repair. O'Neill is with him.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
I do not understand this obsession of yours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's not an obsession. I just wanna know what you did with our bodies!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
But you have no further use for them.</blockquote>

[Daniel and Carter arrive.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh good, you are exploring, yes good, good there is much to see, much to learn from the station. And you are feeling better. Yes?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No. Colonel, have you seen Teal'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I left him with you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Perhaps he is best left alone. He is different. Yes?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes. Look Harlan, I wanna know why you did this, why you did all of this.</blockquote>

[Harlan is focused on the repair he is making to the pipe.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Our race was facing destruction. The biosphere of this planet could no longer support us. This project was undertaken to allow some of our people to continue to live, even if our planet could not. Our former bodies would never survive this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How many were there, originally?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
A thousand.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What happened to them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh, there were problems with the transfer process. Some were lost. Secara, Bareeth, Tira, very, very sad. We could not repair Hubald, creator of all this! His secrets were lost. But many survived…for awhile.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Where are they?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Some left through the ring we discovered. The ring, which you went through. They carried along small, more portable sources with them. I expected them to come home…I waited. This is…home, after all. But they…didn't. And the rest did not except the gift, they…ended their existence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
They walked above the surface, far from here, outside of the range of the power source. Wallas, he was the last one, he gave his life for the station. An accident. And I have been alone since Wallas. But you are here now, and everything is better now. Will you hold this for me?</blockquote>

[Daniel goes to help Harlan with the repair.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Com-traya! Very helpful! We work together well. There. See? We accomplish things. 
(Harlan puts his tools back in his toolbox and starts to walk away.) 
So we must remain near the power source in case it breaks down again. Without the continuous stream of energy from the emitter, these bodies could not function for more than a few hours. And that is why I knew you would come back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Harlan, we want to go home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
No, no, you must stay, you are friends. New friends.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Friends? I don't even like you. Chances are I will never like you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel. If we are ever going to get home, we need him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
You still do not appreciate the gift? Immortality, 11,000 going on infinity. I always say. 
(An alarm sounds.) 
Oh no!</blockquote>

<blockquote>COMPUTER 
Attention. Coolant leak.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Very bad, very bad.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HARLAN 
The power source, for us! I spent too much time away from the station to create you. Hurry, there's not much time, we must repair it or else we will all…die.</blockquote>

'''INT—HARLAN'S COMPOUND CONTROL ROOM'''

[O'Neill, Daniel and Carter run into the control room with Harlan.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
I think the thermos compensator has malfunctioned again. Ah-ha, tube 18 is lost. It draw heat in from the planetary core, must be vented. The surface wind drives irradiated acid rain into the ventilation system. It rusts the valves closed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So what's keeping us going?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Reserve power, like when you went back to your world. "Not much time!"</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Has this ever happened before?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Not since Wallas was still alive. That is the reason I created you. We must work together.</blockquote>

[O'Neill starts to randomly push some bottoms. Harlan reacts impatiently.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Please help!</blockquote>

[Daniel and Carter look to O'Neill for approval.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, I'll help. Where's Teal'c? We could use him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
It does not matter, he is…different.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, so what do we do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
I had to shut down most of the vents. We have to open more and reroute the ventilation. 
(He shows them a map of the building and points out to them the places where they should go to open the vents.) 
There and there. I will stay here to operate the computer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How do we find these vents, how do we open them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
The automatic controls no longer work and the vent are rusted closed. You will have to open up the vent shafts, and do it manually. Search your minds. It is all there. I made sure of it. You have all the answers you need, now go! Go! Go!</blockquote>

[Daniel and Carter leave, but O'Neill stays with Harlan who shoos him away.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Phhtt, phhtt, phhtt!</blockquote>

[O'Neill slowly departs.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.</blockquote>

[Cut to Daniel and Carter walking down the hallway.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This way.</blockquote>

[Cut to Harlan in the control room.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER 
Warning, pressure rising to critical levels. Pressure levels at four hubald.</blockquote>

[Cut to O'Neill standing on a footbridge looking down at the lower level. He jumps down and walks away looking impressed with his prowess. Cut to Harlan looking extremely worried.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER 
Pressure rising to six hubald units. Warning!</blockquote>

[Cut to Daniel and Carter arriving at the vent.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
There it is. 
(Daniel lifts the vent cover without effort, first surprising then impressing them.) 
Did you see that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh. 
(Daniel reaches into the vent.) 
Harlan was right, it's rusted shut, I can feel it.</blockquote>

[Cut to O'Neill reaching another vent. Cut to Daniel attempting to open the valve.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
There, I've got it.</blockquote>

[Cut to Harlan. His computer screen shows that the pressure is increasing.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER 
Warning! Pressure rising to 8 hubald units.</blockquote>

[Cut to Daniel and Carter, replacing the vent cover. The compound begins to shake. Cut to O'Neill trying to free his vent. Cut to the control room.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER 
Pressure rising to 10 hubald units!</blockquote>

[Harlan makes an adjustment.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER 
Override venting steam now.</blockquote>

[Cut to O'Neill at the vent.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not yet, Harlan. Not yet!</blockquote>

[Steam erupts from the vent, pushing O'Neill back. He falls to the ground. Teal'c joins him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c! Thank God! Where have you been?</blockquote>

[O'Neill attempts to rise but Teal'c pushes him to the ground again.]

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

[Teal'c picks up O'Neill and slams him against the wall. Cut to Harlan.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER 
12 hubald units!</blockquote>

[Cut to Daniel and Carter. Carter is opening another vent. Cut to Teal'c, who is attempting to strangle O'Neill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c! God, what are you doing?!</blockquote>

[Cut to Harlan trying to open the vents from the computer system.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER 
Catastrophic coolant failure is imminent.</blockquote>

[Cut to Teal'c throwing O'Neill to the floor near some pipes. As O'Neill gets up, Teal'c is coming for him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on! Teal'c, come on! Teal'c!</blockquote>

[O'Neill swings one of the pipes at Teal'c as hard as he can. The pipe bends, shocking O'Neill. Teal'c throws O'Neill down again, O'Neill crying out in pain.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c!</blockquote>

[Teal'c pushes O'Neill into some pipes, steam erupting from them; cut to the control room where the pressure is shown to be descreasing.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER 
You have succeeded in venting sufficient pressure. Com-traya.</blockquote>

[Harlan collapses onto his chair. Cut to Daniel and Carter.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We did it.</blockquote>

[Cut to O'Neill, sitting on the floor. Teal'c grabs him again, focring his face into the venting steam. Cut to Daniel and Carter who hear O'Neill screaming and rush to his assistance. Cut to Teal'c holding O'Neill's face in the venting steam. O'Neill passes out. Teal'c grabs a hammer and is poised to hit O'Neill with it as Daniel and Carter arrive.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Teal'c, don't!</blockquote>

[Teal'c looks at them without recognition, raising the hammer to strike O'Neill. A ray of light hits his abdoment and he disappears. Harlan is standing behind where Teal'c was, a laser gun in his hand.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel!</blockquote>

[Carter runs to help O'Neill, who sits, in pain from a terrible wound on his cheek baring metal and circuits beneath the synthetic skin which was burned away.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm all right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm sorry, but you're not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
It is only damage, I can repair it.</blockquote>

[As O'Neill touches his wound, he gets an electrical chock.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
All will be well, you will see. And your friend too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What? Teal'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You killed him!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
He was malfunctioning.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How will all be well with him if he is dead?</blockquote>

[Harlan absently points his weapon at Daniel, who pushes it away.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
You, you will see. Now the station is repaired, go back to your quarters and wait. You-you will see.</blockquote>

[Harlan leaves them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Keep an eye on him!</blockquote>

[Daniel follows Harlan, Carter joining him.]

'''INT—HARLAN'S COMPOUND: LABORATORY'''

[In pursuit of Harlan,Daniel and Carter arrive at a door then try to gain entry.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Harlan, open up!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Harlan!</blockquote>

[Daniel and Carter force the door and find Harlan in a laboratory beside what appears to be an incubator.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
No, no, no! Go away!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Harlan, what the hell are you doing?</blockquote>

[Daniel and Carter see Teal'c inside the incubator.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
All will be well. Please, I…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Interrupting.) 
He's making a new synthetic Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Please go back you your quarters, and I will bring him to you when…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How is this possible?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Ah—yes, um, there were two minds before, the creature he carried within. Two beings. The two minds could not coexist, and your friend malfunctioned. I did not know he was different. I will not make that mistake this time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Answer my question this time. How can you make a new synthetic Teal'c, without the original?</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks into the laboratory.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Captain Carter. Stand aside. Harlan, turn off that machine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
The process is incomplete, I can…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Turn it off!</blockquote>

[Harlan obeys.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Now answer the Captain's question.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Please if you destroy me, you will destroy the last survivor of an entire people, and yourselves too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm going to ask this question once. Do our bodies, our real bodies, exist somewhere?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Then I want you to put us back. Now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
I could not do that, even if I wanted to.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why? If you can transfer our conciseness into these bodies, surely you can reverse the process?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
No, it is impossible.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HARLAN 
I will show you.</blockquote>

[Harlan leads them into another laboratory, similar to the once in which SG-1 awoke.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
My God.</blockquote>

[We now see the real SG-1 team members, lying down on tables, tape over their mouths. O'Neill Robot walks to O'Neill, who is awake, then kneels next to him. All the other members of SG-1 seem to be awake too.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
I meant no harm. I will return them through the ring as soon as I am certain you had accepted your transference.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT CARTER 
Except it's not really a transference, is it? From one to the other. We're copies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Yes, as good as the original. Better even.</blockquote>

[Robot O'Neill looks extremely sad.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
If you had not been so insistent you would have never seen each other. Once I knew the transference was successful. I had intended to send your organic selves, back to your world, uh, their world. They would never have known of your existence. And in time hope that you would have excepted yours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
We…can never go back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
No, you belong here. You are welcome here.</blockquote>

[Robot Carter walks over to Teal'c and removes the tape from his mouth.]

<blockquote>ROBOT CARTER 
Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Captain Carter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT CARTER 
Colonel, he's all right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
(Whispering.) 
That's great, Captain.</blockquote>

[Robot O'Neill gets up and walks away. Robot Daniel walks over to O'Neill and take the tape off his mouth while Harlan frees each member of SG-1.]

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

<blockquote>ROBOT DANIEL 
Ah, sort of.</blockquote>

[Robot Daniel walks over to Daniel. O'Neill and Teal'c sit up and watch.]

<blockquote>ROBOT DANIEL 
Here, let me get that.</blockquote>

[Robot Daniel sits at Daniel's side then very gently removes the tape from his mouth.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
HARLAN, where have you been?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Extremely busy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I can see that. Doing what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh, ah, creating your synthetic others. Saving the planet. Busy, busy.</blockquote>

[Robot Carter is sitting next to Carter, who sits up and begins to examine her robot. It's clear they are fascinated.]

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

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Yes. I am sorry for restraining you for so long, I am afraid my plan has failed rather miserably. But as I promised, you are free to go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This is impossible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT CARTER 
It's true. At first we did not even know we had been changed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Recreating the neuralstructure on…</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT CARTER 
I know! Defies the uncertainty principle. We are identical, right down to the mole on our…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Ehhh! Shut up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Was not a copy made of me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh yes, yes. Um, but um, I had to disintegrate you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I see.</blockquote>

[He seems offended by this.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
You get it, you just don't like it.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks out.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ah, well…</blockquote>

[Everyone is speaking at the same time.]

'''INT—HARLAN'S COMPOUND: LABORATORY'''

[Robot O'Neill is staring at the incomplete Teal'c synthetic when O'Neill walks in behind him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Listen, I'm not too happy about this either, you know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
You think you know how I feel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, yeah. Were basically the same guy, aren't we?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
Ah, have a look.</blockquote>

[Robot O'Neill angrily shows off his ugly wound.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ouch. Sorry.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So, um, what the hell happened here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
Somebody stole my life. That's what happened.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You talking about my life?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
Hey, I've got every right to it that you do. I was kind of hoping I could figure out away to undo all this, get myself back into my body, where I belong.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well it's occupied, thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
I noticed that. What does that make me? What do you want?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well they're all debating the meaning of life out there. Both Daniels think this is all fascinating. The Carters are arguing already. Teal'c feels left out. You and I have go a few things to talk about.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
I'm not going to give you a hard time about who gets to go back, if that's what you mean.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
It has nothing to do with generosity, believe me. I can't go back. If I could it might be a different story.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah well…there is, um, a little issue of security. You know everything I know about Earth. Codes, defences.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
We'll bury the Gate, don't worry. And don't even think about trying to send a bomb to make sure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I wasn't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
Yes, you were. I know you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, all right, you have my word, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
Call me Jack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Colonel O'Neill?</blockquote>

[He calls for O'Neill off-camera.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL/ROBOT O'NEILL 
Oh, for crying out loud.</blockquote>

[The two look at one another.]

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
I'll handle this.</blockquote>

[Robot O'Neill walks away.]

'''INT—HARLAN'S COMPOUND: FOOTBRIDGE'''

[O'Neill meets Harlan on the footbridge.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Ah, there you are, I was worried about you. Where is the other one?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
He is…getting ready to go home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Yes, all for the best. I hope in time you will forgive me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
You were just trying to survive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Yes, and we will! All will be well, you will see!</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
Harlan, people are not supposed to live forever.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Maybe not, but if you try just a few hundred years, perhaps you might change your mind. Yes?</blockquote>

[A cheerful Harlan leaves Robot O'Neill alone in his sadness.]

'''INT—HARLAN'S COMPOUND: THE STARGATE'''

[SG-1 and robot SG-1 gather with Harlan at the Stargate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So don't forget to bury the Gate when where gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
Like that's something I would forget.</blockquote>

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

[Both O'Neills shake hands.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
See ya. And uh, you should have that looked at, it's…whoa.</blockquote>

[O'Neill points to the wound on Robot O'Neill's face.]

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
Have a good life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
See ya.</blockquote>

[Robot Carter and Harlan wave as the real SG-1 team members step through the Gate.]

'''TEASER'''

[Offworld in a dark building. After coming up of a ladder, we have a view on a Stargate. When it shuts down, we see SG-1 that just came through the Gate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Colonel speaking. Welcome to P3X niner-eight-niner, where it's a balmy…room temperature…Fan it out!</blockquote>

[They start investigating the chamber they are in. O'Neill is looking at a ball of light which is suspended from the ceiling above them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Whoa…Well the lights are on…but there's nobody home!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The technology seems advanced by comparison to what we've seen on most of the human-inhabited planets. Maybe they are more advanced than Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They're much more.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, it feels older…somehow.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know how it feels. This place have seen better days.</blockquote>

[SG-1 explores the compound.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
At least it doesn't appear to be a Goa'uld origin.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, have you run into something like this?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Computer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SG-1 arrives at what a control room, filled with banks of computers. Carter touches one of the computers, triggering an unusual sound.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, that sounds ominous! Fall back.</blockquote>

[They are making their way back to the Gate when they are suddenly zap by a light and they all fall down on the floor.]

'''END OF TEASER'''

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''INT—LABORATORY'''

[We see O'Neill waking up. The four members of SG-1 are all lying down in a room, each dressed in black clothes. O'Neill looks confused. Carter is lying down on the table next to him.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Whoa…How did we get into these outfits?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't know.</blockquote>

[O'Neill gets up.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Welcome to PX3-989.</blockquote>

[Carter also stands up as O'Neill is moving towards the rest of his team members. Everything is still dark.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
My transmitter's gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel? Teal'c? You guys are okay?</blockquote>

[Carter stops at Daniel's table, while O'Neill goes over to help Teal'c.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am well.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah, I'm fine.</blockquote>

[Daniel sits up.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Better than fine actually, when you consider the fact that we are just…</blockquote>

[He doesn't have the time to finish his sentence when someone enters the room.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Com-traya! Com-traya!</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I think that's a greeting.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Yes, it is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh! Well then…uh…Com-traya. We are explorers from a place call Earth. I'm Daniel. Hello.</blockquote>

[He holds out his hand to the man.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh! This is your custom, yes? Hello!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
(To Daniel) 
You are the leader?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, no. That will be… 
(He points to O'Neill)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Me! Colonel Jack O'Neill. Cumbaya.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Com-traya. 
(He laughs kindly at O'Neill.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Whatever. Why did you attack us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Attack? Oh, attack, yes, of course. It would seem that way from your perceptive. Yes, I did that.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HARLAN 
It could not be helped! Oh, are you suffering any pain? Any after effects? Occasionally the heart must be restarted.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, no. I think that we feel fine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Ah, Com-traya! You are all such wonderful specimens! 
(Turns to Carter.) 
You in particular, female!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel?</blockquote>

[Carter moves towards Harlan.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Easy Captain. 
(To Harlan) 
Listen, we had some things…when we got here…some weapons.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh, those, hmm. Yes. Very dangerous.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Very. Can we have them back?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And our uniforms?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Sorry, but they are gone. This is better, yes?</blockquote>

[Harlan touches Carter's shoulder.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
No.</blockquote>

[Carter moves away from Harlan.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
I am Harlan. 
(He holds out his hand to Daniel.) 
I am the last survivor of Altar.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Excuse me? The last survivor? You're the only one of this planet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Yes. And your weapons are this way.</blockquote>

[SG-1 follow Harlan through the complex.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
We are in section 3. There has been trouble here lately.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What kind of trouble?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Mechanical breakdowns. Very difficult to maintain this complex all alone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Listen, Harlan, is there an outside of this place?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Outside is above, we are under.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Under…the surface?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh yes, on the surface we cannot survive. Hmm, radiation. Very, very bad. Ah! This way to section 4!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Eh, what happened to your civilisation? Surely, you started on the surface and then move under.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh, yes, long ago!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We are curious to learn about others worlds, we would love to hear about what happened on the surface.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
All in time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We've got all the time in the world!</blockquote>

[Harlan chuckles in response to this.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Yes, you do. You understand? Com-traya!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Now, what is that "Com-traya!", is that like "Aloha"?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Harlan, how long have you been on your own?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Eh, now, let me see, Wallas was the last one to go. I miss him. But, you all remind me a little of Wallas. Eh, except for you, of course, you are a female. 
(Harlan turns from Carter to Teal'c.) 
And you are…whatever you are. 
(Teal'c and O'Neill glance at each other.) 
Hubald, he was the creator of all this, but he died very early…too early…Many secrets with him, so long ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How long, exactly?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Eh, exactly? Ninety-nine million, two hundred and seven thousand of your hours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, that's 11,000 years.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How did you know that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Startled) 
That's right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Thinking) 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(To O'Neill) 
Wait, how did you know that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
See. Everything is better. Even your minds. You are all much, much better!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Better than what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
You do not feel it? You are not stronger? Smarter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack, I think he's right. I feel great.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Of course you do. Because I have given you a great gift. I have made you all…better!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Better, how?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh, I have not hurt you! I have only made you…better.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, listen, listen closely, I'm going to ask you one more time, very simply, better…how?!</blockquote>

[Harlan doesn't answer.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're gone! We're out of here!</blockquote>

[SG-1 head back towareds the Stargate. Harlan looks worried. The team arrives at the Gate and they have their weapons back.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter, dial us home!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Wait! You—you—you cannot leave! I—I—I cannot leave either! It is not safe!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What is not safe? Tell us!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
All in time, there is so much you must know first.</blockquote>

[The Gate kawooshes and Carter sends the GDO signal.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
You will be back! You will! You cannot leave me here.. all…alone…[He stands staring, worried as the Gate shuts down.) 
Oh, dear!</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[All the members of SG-1 are present, hovering as Dr. Fraiser examines O'Neill.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Colonel, how do you feel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Never felt better in my life! That gets me a little worried actually.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Yeah, well, this has got me a little worried. 
(Fraiser gives O'Neill her stethoscope.) 
Listen.</blockquote>

[O'Neill listens to his heart.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't hear anything. What, this is better? I'm dead?!</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Well, Colonel, to make sense of this I going to have to do a blood sample.</blockquote>

[Fraiser takes a blood sample from O'Neill. A milky white liquid is drawn into the syringe.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
My God, what the hell is that? Get that out of me!</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Look, eh, I'm going to need x-rays on all of them. Stat!</blockquote>

[In the background, Teal'c begins to rub his abdomen.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What did he do to us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I don't know. Just let's everybody stay calm.</blockquote>

[Teal'c lifts his shirt and he realises that his larval Goa'uld is no longer there.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I no longer possess a Goa'uld.</blockquote>

[At this, O'Neill grabs a knife, braces his arm against the table, then begins to cut open his arm from his wrist to almost his elbow.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel! What the hell are you doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Colonel!</blockquote>

[Then O'Neill peels back his skin to reveal a mechanical interior of circuits and pistons.]

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

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Dear God!</blockquote>

[As Carter helps O'Neill, Fraiser moves away to sound the alarm.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Alert, Security to the Infirmary!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Whoa! Security? Doctor Frasier, it is us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Just, don't come any closer.</blockquote>

[The secutiry team arrives in the infirmary.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Stand down airmen, just a little misunderstanding. That's an order.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Belay that order!</blockquote>

[General Hammond enters the Infirmary.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
General, that is not Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, for crying out loud, General, it's me!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Would you call that human blood?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I have reasons to believe that they are all impostors. He, or whatever he is, has no detectable heartbeat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Take them to the holding room. Put a guard outside.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General Hammond. 
(O'Neill gets up and walks over to face Hammond.) 
I don't know what that sonovabitch on 989 did, but I swear to God…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Follow the instructions.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Interrupting) 
Your wife died of cancer four years ago!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
And you will not be hurt!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Your granddaughters' names are Tessa and Kayla!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Any resistance by any of you will be met with deadly force! Is that understood?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Understood. Perfectly.</blockquote>

[O'Neill leads the way out of the Infirmary, followed by the rest of his team and the security team.]

'''INT—SGC'''

[Gen. Hammond and Dr. Fraiser are watching SG-1 via a monitor.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Looks and sounds like our people. They certainly believe they are SG-1.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It may be another Goa'uld trick.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I don't know what to believe. He was right about the names of my grandchildren. How else would he have known, if he isn't Jack O'Neill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Sir, given our history with the Goa'uld, I believe keeping them here would be extremely dangerous.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC HOLDING ROOM'''

[Daniel is staring in fascination at his right hand.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's incredible, it looks like mine, it feels like mine, it is mine, I mean I don't feel any different. If anything, I feel better!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, that's what Harlan said.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Why didn't he just tell us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Probably afraid we'd damage him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Perceptive little runt.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You know, Colonel, you can't blame General Hammond for confining us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, I know who I am!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So do I! In every respect I feel like Carter. But the evidence. Harlan must have transferred our consciousness into these bodies!"</blockquote>

[Teal'c paces the room, holding his abdomen.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Bodies? Did you see the inside of this arm? We're machines, Carter.</blockquote>

[Daniel is watching Teal'c pace.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Teal'c? Are you okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well…for starters you've lost your…infant Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I still feel its presence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Really? That must be like continuing to feel a limb after it's been lost.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, for crying out loud! Daniel! I'm glad you're so fascinated by all this, but it's time for a little reality check. Okay? We are being help prisoner by our own people.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, they can't keep us in here forever…I mean….</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why not? What do you think is going to happen? You really think military intelligence is going to let us continue as SG-1…like this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We still have our rights, Jack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What rights are you talking about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, no matter what he's done to us, were still.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Interrupting) 
Human? Is that what you were going to say?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Harlan said we'd be back. Now we know why.</blockquote>

[Hammond enters the holding room.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill? Whoever you are. I have decided to send SG-5 back to P3X-989. See if they can shed some light on this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's a mistake.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Because old Harlan will do to them what he did to us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Harlan?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The indigenous person we encountered on the other side, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We do believe that he transferred out conciseness into these artificial bodies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Why would anyone do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well he thought he was doing us a favour. He thinks this is better. And I never even really thought of it at the time, but he must be artificial too.</blockquote>

[Daniel lowers his head, looking exhausted.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
That must explain how he got to be 11,000 years old.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General? 
(O'Neill is battling exhaustion too, looking as if he might pass out.) 
I think that it's imperative that we go back.</blockquote>

[Each of the team members collapses. Hammond rushes forward to help them.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Get Dr. Fraiser!</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Yes, Sir!</blockquote>

[Carter and Teal'c hold their throats as if they are having difficulty breathing while Daniel is holding his head.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, we've got to go back. 
(O'Neill grabs Hammond's shoulder in desperation.]

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[O'Neill and the other members of SG-1 are being helped towards the Stargate.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Will send another team through within the hour!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Negative. Don't risk anymore.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Get this Gate open!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHEVRON GUY 
Stand by.</blockquote>

'''INT—HARLAN'S COMPOUND: THE STARGATE'''

[The four members of SG-1 tumble out of the wormhole and lie before the Gate in a state of collapse. They begin to stir, finally sitting up.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
My strength returns.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We ran out of energy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, if these bodies are machines, they need a power source. It's here.</blockquote>

[We hear Harlan's approach.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Ah! Com-traya! Here is where you belong now. Here is the only place you can be. 
(He is chuckling]

[O'Neill is seething with anger. Suddenly he jumps up, grabs Harlan by his collar and throws him against the Gate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You sonova!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
You nearly waited too long. I was worried. Feel better?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Better. What the hell did you do to us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
You are angry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't break you in half.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, he's the only one who can put our consciousness back into our real bodies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh! No, no, no, I cannot do that. In time you will see, I have transferred your consciousness into the synthetic</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Still hold Harlan by his collar, O'Neill yells at him) 
Well transfer us back! Now!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
No, I cannot, it is permanent.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I do not want to hear that!

HARLAN 
You are damaging me.</blockquote>

[Harlan is choking. O'Neill holds him for a few more seconds, then finally lets him go.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
I am sorry, but there is no way to do what you ask. Your bodies are all gone; it is all part of the process. This is what you are now. You will see; it is better.</blockquote>

[SG-1 appears defeated by this news.]

'''INT—CORRIDOR IN HARLAN'S COMPOUND'''

[The team is following Harlan through the compound.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
This way. Around the corner, just a few more steps and home again!</blockquote>

[They enter the laboratory in which they earlier regained consciousness.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
You should rest now. Your internal systems are not yet fully recharged, and they were aloud to drain far to low.</blockquote>

[Looking exhausted, Carter, Daniel and Teal'c sit while O'Neill continues to seethe.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER 
Attention, coolant leak in secondary coils in section 2, immediate attention is required.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Section 2, you see now why I needed you? This place is more then one man can maintain! Oh, so much to do. You will see, you will all feel much better soon. 
(Harlan leaves the laboratory.) 
Oh, this will not take long at all.</blockquote>

[O'Neill continues to pace.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack, he said we should rest. We don't want to run out of energy again.</blockquote>

[O'Neill ignores him.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
He's right about this place, half of the stuff of this complex isn't working. The rest is marginal. I mean, look around. He's been jerry-rigging thing's for centuries. He was desperate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I say let this place fall down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
To condemn Harlan would be to condemn ourselves.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Your point being?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What is done is done.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh please. Has it occurred to anyone that all we are now is robots?</blockquote>

[O'Neill is upset. Everybody sits in silence his outburst after that. O'Neill suddenly walks around and opens the laboratory doors.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Where are you going?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm going to find Harlan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Don't worry, it's just to talk. Robot to robot.</blockquote>

[Daniel shakes his head as the doors are closing. Suddenly, a smile appears on his face.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh it's nothing. Umm, this notion of living a 11,000 years entered my mind for a moment and I couldn't…it's a lot to take in.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Apparently we've got time to adjust. We really do have all the same sensations and perceptions that we did in our human form.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, if you think about it, the human body is just a machine. It's a vessel for our consciousness, I mean, it's just an organic one. I mean, it performs work, requires fuel.</blockquote>

[Carter shakes her head in disagreement.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's not the same, Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No it isn't, but, maybe in away Harlan was right, maybe in away this is better. I mean where still us, were still…unique. Every thought, every feeling.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Have you felt hungry, or thirsty since this happened?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No!</blockquote>

[Without warning, Teal'c suddenly stands up and walks to the door.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Teal'c?. You still okay?</blockquote>

[Teal'c doesn't answer and leaves the laboratory. Daniel and Carter follow him out but are unable to find him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Where did he go?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Probably wants to be alone. I don't blame him. 
(Carter points out the hall in front of them.) 
That way.</blockquote>

[Cut to Teal'c resting against a wall, holding his abdomen, struggling to breathe. He begins to shake violently. Cut to Harlan attempting a repair. O'Neill is with him.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
I do not understand this obsession of yours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's not an obsession. I just wanna know what you did with our bodies!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
But you have no further use for them.</blockquote>

[Daniel and Carter arrive.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh good, you are exploring, yes good, good there is much to see, much to learn from the station. And you are feeling better. Yes?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No. Colonel, have you seen Teal'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I left him with you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Perhaps he is best left alone. He is different. Yes?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes. Look Harlan, I wanna know why you did this, why you did all of this.</blockquote>

[Harlan is focused on the repair he is making to the pipe.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Our race was facing destruction. The biosphere of this planet could no longer support us. This project was undertaken to allow some of our people to continue to live, even if our planet could not. Our former bodies would never survive this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How many were there, originally?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
A thousand.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What happened to them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh, there were problems with the transfer process. Some were lost. Secara, Bareeth, Tira, very, very sad. We could not repair Hubald, creator of all this! His secrets were lost. But many survived…for awhile.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Where are they?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Some left through the ring we discovered. The ring, which you went through. They carried along small, more portable sources with them. I expected them to come home…I waited. This is…home, after all. But they…didn't. And the rest did not except the gift, they…ended their existence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
They walked above the surface, far from here, outside of the range of the power source. Wallas, he was the last one, he gave his life for the station. An accident. And I have been alone since Wallas. But you are here now, and everything is better now. Will you hold this for me?</blockquote>

[Daniel goes to help Harlan with the repair.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Com-traya! Very helpful! We work together well. There. See? We accomplish things. 
(Harlan puts his tools back in his toolbox and starts to walk away.) 
So we must remain near the power source in case it breaks down again. Without the continuous stream of energy from the emitter, these bodies could not function for more than a few hours. And that is why I knew you would come back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Harlan, we want to go home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
No, no, you must stay, you are friends. New friends.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Friends? I don't even like you. Chances are I will never like you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel. If we are ever going to get home, we need him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
You still do not appreciate the gift? Immortality, 11,000 going on infinity. I always say. 
(An alarm sounds.) 
Oh no!</blockquote>

<blockquote>COMPUTER 
Attention. Coolant leak.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Very bad, very bad.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HARLAN 
The power source, for us! I spent too much time away from the station to create you. Hurry, there's not much time, we must repair it or else we will all…die.</blockquote>

'''INT—HARLAN'S COMPOUND CONTROL ROOM'''

[O'Neill, Daniel and Carter run into the control room with Harlan.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
I think the thermos compensator has malfunctioned again. Ah-ha, tube 18 is lost. It draw heat in from the planetary core, must be vented. The surface wind drives irradiated acid rain into the ventilation system. It rusts the valves closed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So what's keeping us going?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Reserve power, like when you went back to your world. "Not much time!"</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Has this ever happened before?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Not since Wallas was still alive. That is the reason I created you. We must work together.</blockquote>

[O'Neill starts to randomly push some bottoms. Harlan reacts impatiently.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Please help!</blockquote>

[Daniel and Carter look to O'Neill for approval.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, I'll help. Where's Teal'c? We could use him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
It does not matter, he is…different.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, so what do we do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
I had to shut down most of the vents. We have to open more and reroute the ventilation. 
(He shows them a map of the building and points out to them the places where they should go to open the vents.) 
There and there. I will stay here to operate the computer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How do we find these vents, how do we open them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
The automatic controls no longer work and the vent are rusted closed. You will have to open up the vent shafts, and do it manually. Search your minds. It is all there. I made sure of it. You have all the answers you need, now go! Go! Go!</blockquote>

[Daniel and Carter leave, but O'Neill stays with Harlan who shoos him away.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Phhtt, phhtt, phhtt!</blockquote>

[O'Neill slowly departs.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.</blockquote>

[Cut to Daniel and Carter walking down the hallway.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This way.</blockquote>

[Cut to Harlan in the control room.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER 
Warning, pressure rising to critical levels. Pressure levels at four hubald.</blockquote>

[Cut to O'Neill standing on a footbridge looking down at the lower level. He jumps down and walks away looking impressed with his prowess. Cut to Harlan looking extremely worried.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER 
Pressure rising to six hubald units. Warning!</blockquote>

[Cut to Daniel and Carter arriving at the vent.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
There it is. 
(Daniel lifts the vent cover without effort, first surprising then impressing them.) 
Did you see that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh. 
(Daniel reaches into the vent.) 
Harlan was right, it's rusted shut, I can feel it.</blockquote>

[Cut to O'Neill reaching another vent. Cut to Daniel attempting to open the valve.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
There, I've got it.</blockquote>

[Cut to Harlan. His computer screen shows that the pressure is increasing.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER 
Warning! Pressure rising to 8 hubald units.</blockquote>

[Cut to Daniel and Carter, replacing the vent cover. The compound begins to shake. Cut to O'Neill trying to free his vent. Cut to the control room.]

COMPUTER 
Pressure rising to 10 hubald units!</blockquote>

[Harlan makes an adjustment.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER 
Override venting steam now.</blockquote>

[Cut to O'Neill at the vent.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not yet, Harlan. Not yet!</blockquote>

[Steam erupts from the vent, pushing O'Neill back. He falls to the ground. Teal'c joins him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c! Thank God! Where have you been?</blockquote>

[O'Neill attempts to rise but Teal'c pushes him to the ground again.]

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

[Teal'c picks up O'Neill and slams him against the wall. Cut to Harlan.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER 
12 hubald units!</blockquote>

[Cut to Daniel and Carter. Carter is opening another vent. Cut to Teal'c, who is attempting to strangle O'Neill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c! God, what are you doing?!</blockquote>

[Cut to Harlan trying to open the vents from the computer system.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER 
Catastrophic coolant failure is imminent.</blockquote>

[Cut to Teal'c throwing O'Neill to the floor near some pipes. As O'Neill gets up, Teal'c is coming for him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on! Teal'c, come on! Teal'c!</blockquote>

[O'Neill swings one of the pipes at Teal'c as hard as he can. The pipe bends, shocking O'Neill. Teal'c throws O'Neill down again, O'Neill crying out in pain.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c!</blockquote>

[Teal'c pushes O'Neill into some pipes, steam erupting from them; cut to the control room where the pressure is shown to be descreasing.]

<blockquote>COMPUTER 
You have succeeded in venting sufficient pressure. Com-traya.</blockquote>

[Harlan collapses onto his chair. Cut to Daniel and Carter.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We did it.</blockquote>

[Cut to O'Neill, sitting on the floor. Teal'c grabs him again, focring his face into the venting steam. Cut to Daniel and Carter who hear O'Neill screaming and rush to his assistance. Cut to Teal'c holding O'Neill's face in the venting steam. O'Neill passes out. Teal'c grabs a hammer and is poised to hit O'Neill with it as Daniel and Carter arrive.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Teal'c, don't!</blockquote>

[Teal'c looks at them without recognition, raising the hammer to strike O'Neill. A ray of light hits his abdoment and he disappears. Harlan is standing behind where Teal'c was, a laser gun in his hand.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel!</blockquote>

[Carter runs to help O'Neill, who sits, in pain from a terrible wound on his cheek baring metal and circuits beneath the synthetic skin which was burned away.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm all right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm sorry, but you're not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
It is only damage, I can repair it.</blockquote>

[As O'Neill touches his wound, he gets an electrical chock.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
All will be well, you will see. And your friend too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What? Teal'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You killed him!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
He was malfunctioning.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How will all be well with him if he is dead?</blockquote>

[Harlan absently points his weapon at Daniel, who pushes it away.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
You, you will see. Now the station is repaired, go back to your quarters and wait. You-you will see.</blockquote>

[Harlan leaves them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Keep an eye on him!</blockquote>

[Daniel follows Harlan, Carter joining him.]

'''INT—HARLAN'S COMPOUND: LABORATORY'''

[In pursuit of Harlan,Daniel and Carter arrive at a door then try to gain entry.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Harlan, open up!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Harlan!</blockquote>

[Daniel and Carter force the door and find Harlan in a laboratory beside what appears to be an incubator.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
No, no, no! Go away!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Harlan, what the hell are you doing?</blockquote>

[Daniel and Carter see Teal'c inside the incubator.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
All will be well. Please, I…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Interrupting.) 
He's making a new synthetic Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Please go back you your quarters, and I will bring him to you when…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How is this possible?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Ah—yes, um, there were two minds before, the creature he carried within. Two beings. The two minds could not coexist, and your friend malfunctioned. I did not know he was different. I will not make that mistake this time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Answer my question this time. How can you make a new synthetic Teal'c, without the original?</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks into the laboratory.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Captain Carter. Stand aside. Harlan, turn off that machine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
The process is incomplete, I can…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Turn it off!</blockquote>

[Harlan obeys.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Now answer the Captain's question.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Please if you destroy me, you will destroy the last survivor of an entire people, and yourselves too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm going to ask this question once. Do our bodies, our real bodies, exist somewhere?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Then I want you to put us back. Now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
I could not do that, even if I wanted to.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why? If you can transfer our conciseness into these bodies, surely you can reverse the process?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
No, it is impossible.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HARLAN 
I will show you.</blockquote>

[Harlan leads them into another laboratory, similar to the once in which SG-1 awoke.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
My God.</blockquote>

[We now see the real SG-1 team members, lying down on tables, tape over their mouths. O'Neill Robot walks to O'Neill, who is awake, then kneels next to him. All the other members of SG-1 seem to be awake too.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
I meant no harm. I will return them through the ring as soon as I am certain you had accepted your transference.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT CARTER 
Except it's not really a transference, is it? From one to the other. We're copies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Yes, as good as the original. Better even.</blockquote>

[Robot O'Neill looks extremely sad.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
If you had not been so insistent you would have never seen each other. Once I knew the transference was successful. I had intended to send your organic selves, back to your world, uh, their world. They would never have known of your existence. And in time hope that you would have excepted yours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
We…can never go back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
No, you belong here. You are welcome here.</blockquote>

[Robot Carter walks over to Teal'c and removes the tape from his mouth.]

<blockquote>ROBOT CARTER 
Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Captain Carter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT CARTER 
Colonel, he's all right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
(Whispering.) 
That's great, Captain.</blockquote>

[Robot O'Neill gets up and walks away. Robot Daniel walks over to O'Neill and take the tape off his mouth while Harlan frees each member of SG-1.]

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

<blockquote>ROBOT DANIEL 
Ah, sort of.</blockquote>

[Robot Daniel walks over to Daniel. O'Neill and Teal'c sit up and watch.]

<blockquote>ROBOT DANIEL 
Here, let me get that.</blockquote>

[Robot Daniel sits at Daniel's side then very gently removes the tape from his mouth.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
HARLAN, where have you been?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Extremely busy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I can see that. Doing what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh, ah, creating your synthetic others. Saving the planet. Busy, busy.</blockquote>

[Robot Carter is sitting next to Carter, who sits up and begins to examine her robot. It's clear they are fascinated.]

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

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Yes. I am sorry for restraining you for so long, I am afraid my plan has failed rather miserably. But as I promised, you are free to go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This is impossible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT CARTER 
It's true. At first we did not even know we had been changed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Recreating the neuralstructure on…</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT CARTER 
I know! Defies the uncertainty principle. We are identical, right down to the mole on our…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Ehhh! Shut up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Was not a copy made of me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Oh yes, yes. Um, but um, I had to disintegrate you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I see.</blockquote>

[He seems offended by this.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
You get it, you just don't like it.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks out.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ah, well…</blockquote>

[Everyone is speaking at the same time.]

'''INT—HARLAN'S COMPOUND: LABORATORY'''

[Robot O'Neill is staring at the incomplete Teal'c synthetic when O'Neill walks in behind him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Listen, I'm not too happy about this either, you know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
You think you know how I feel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, yeah. Were basically the same guy, aren't we?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
Ah, have a look.</blockquote>

[Robot O'Neill angrily shows off his ugly wound.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ouch. Sorry.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So, um, what the hell happened here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
Somebody stole my life. That's what happened.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You talking about my life?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
Hey, I've got every right to it that you do. I was kind of hoping I could figure out away to undo all this, get myself back into my body, where I belong.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well it's occupied, thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
I noticed that. What does that make me? What do you want?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well they're all debating the meaning of life out there. Both Daniels think this is all fascinating. The Carters are arguing already. Teal'c feels left out. You and I have go a few things to talk about.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
I'm not going to give you a hard time about who gets to go back, if that's what you mean.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
It has nothing to do with generosity, believe me. I can't go back. If I could it might be a different story.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah well…there is, um, a little issue of security. You know everything I know about Earth. Codes, defences.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
We'll bury the Gate, don't worry. And don't even think about trying to send a bomb to make sure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I wasn't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
Yes, you were. I know you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, all right, you have my word, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
Call me Jack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Colonel O'Neill?</blockquote>

[He calls for O'Neill off-camera.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL/ROBOT O'NEILL 
Oh, for crying out loud.</blockquote>

[The two look at one another.]

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
I'll handle this.</blockquote>

[Robot O'Neill walks away.]

'''INT—HARLAN'S COMPOUND: FOOTBRIDGE'''

[O'Neill meets Harlan on the footbridge.]

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Ah, there you are, I was worried about you. Where is the other one?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
He is…getting ready to go home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Yes, all for the best. I hope in time you will forgive me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
You were just trying to survive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Yes, and we will! All will be well, you will see!</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
Harlan, people are not supposed to live forever.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HARLAN 
Maybe not, but if you try just a few hundred years, perhaps you might change your mind. Yes?</blockquote>

[A cheerful Harlan leaves Robot O'Neill alone in his sadness.]

'''INT—HARLAN'S COMPOUND: THE STARGATE'''

[SG-1 and robot SG-1 gather with Harlan at the Stargate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So don't forget to bury the Gate when where gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
Like that's something I would forget.</blockquote>

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

[Both O'Neills shake hands.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
See ya. And uh, you should have that looked at, it's…whoa. 
(O'Neill points to the wound on Robot O'Neill's face]

<blockquote>ROBOT O'NEILL 
Have a good life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
See ya.</blockquote>

[Robot Carter and Harlan wave as the real SG-1 team members step through the Gate.]

'''TEASER'''

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[The Stargate is turning.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Incoming traveler, incoming traveler.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAN 
Clear the ramp.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Offworld activation. Closing the iris.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
There's no one scheduled to come back for 24 hours. Who is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
It's SG-1's remote access code, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What? They just went through!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Opening the iris; stand by.</blockquote>

[The iris opens, the wormhole flickers.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Sir, the Gate is showing twice the power as normal, and it's increasing!</blockquote>

[DANIEL comes flying through the Gate; HAMMOND jumps to avoid being hit, then rushes to his side and turns him over. DANIEL is unconscious. TEAL'C flies through the Gate and rolls, coming to a stop at the base of the ramp.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
System overload!</blockquote>

[All over the Gate room, things start exploding or throwing off sparks.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
The wormhole is disengaged!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Get a medical team in here now! Teal'c, are you all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Where are Colonel O'Neill and Captain Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Looks around) 
They could not have been more than two metres behind. I do not know.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND helps him up.]

'''INT—ICE CAVERN'''

[We see another Stargate. Behind it, the wormhole has punched a hole through dense ice. O'NEILL is lying on the ground, unconscious. As we see her, CARTER gets up and takes off her helmet. Where are they?]

'''END TEASER'''

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''INT—STARGATE COMMAND—INFIRMARY'''

[DANIEL is lying in a bed, unconscious. TEAL'C is seated on an examination table, his arm in a sling.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Doctor Jackson's still unconscious but Doctor Warner thinks he'll be all right. I need to know what went on back there Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEALC 
We were under fire. Distant. Energy weapons of some kind. Possibly Goa'uld technology.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
So it's possible Colonel O'Neill and Captain Carter were struck by enemy fire?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEALC 
I do not believe so. They were but a few metres behind me as we passed through the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How many hostiles were there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEALC 
They were some distance away. But we appeared to be surrounded. We were there only moments. Colonel O'Neill ordered us to lay down cover fire while Daniel Jackson dialed home. General Hammond, I believe they should have made it through the 'Gate. I do not understand why they did not.</blockquote>

[DAVIS walks into the room.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Preliminary report on the Stargate repairs, Sir. 
(He hands over a clipboard)</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Repairs?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
There was some kind of overload during transit, we don't know why.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I must return immediately.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(Pushes Teal'c down) 
Not with an army waiting on the other side. Sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
General Hammond, I suggest a second probe be sent through.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
As soon as the Stargate's working again we'll do just that.</blockquote>

'''INT—ICE CAVERN'''

[O'NEILL is trying to get up.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Putting hands to his head) 
Oh my God. Aargh, eurgh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel…</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, uh…Try to stay put Sir, I think your leg's broken.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, my leg's definitely broken. What's the bad news, 'cause unless they've redecorated the Gate room I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Daniel must have misdialed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Misdialed? You mean this place is a wrong number? Ah, for crying out loud. Where is he?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
He's not here, Sir. Neither is Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, he has to be. 
(He moves to use his radio)</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I tried that. You've been unconscious for nearly two hours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They came through the Gate before we did.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I know that, I also know that we're alone here, wherever here is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ice. Nice.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, I think we're inside a deep crevasse of a glacier. If their Stargate's been overrun by ice, possibly on a planet in the middle of an ice age. Now, there is some light filtering through up there and there are some fissures in the ice, but all of them are too narrow to follow very far. We're in trouble, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, nonsense. We'll just dial home and straighten all this out. 
(He looks around) 
Where's the DHD?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Can't find that either.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, so, uh, we're in trouble.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We're in trouble.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[A technician is welding something on the Gate. TEAL'C and DAVIS are surveying the workers. HAMMOND walks in.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
We've almost replaced all the super conductive interface elements, Sir. The old ones all melted. It's going to take some time to load test them though.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Just tell me the minute we can send a probe through.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SILER 
That'll be 24 hours General, minimum.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Captain Carter and Colonel O'Neill do not have that long.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'll give you half that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SILER 
No Sir, it doesn't work that way. 24 hours is the best I can do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Then you'd better get back to it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SILER 
Yes Sir! Come on, let's go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND looks up at the Gate.</blockquote>

'''INT—ICE CAVERN'''

[In the icy place, CARTER is setting O'NEILL'S leg.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Aargh! Oh, God…. Ah. 
(He makes more noise. Obviously, he's in pain.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, I think it's set.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You THINK it's set?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm positive. All we have to do is put a splint on it and you'll be as good as new.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(grunts) 
Just take it easy, Doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wrong kind of doctor, I'm afraid.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You wouldn't think jagged bone digging into raw nerves would hurt, but it does.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sorry Sir, but I've never done this before in my life. Is this your first broken bone?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah, ah, no. This…this would be, uh, nine, if you count skull fractures.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How did you manage that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Little parachuting mishap, over the borders of Iran and Iraq, back in…eighty…uh….</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, this is going to hurt, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah! I know, I know, I know, I know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, what happened?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I hit the ground. Go figure. Ah! God…ah…. My chute opened a little late, and it hurt, just like that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm sorry Colonel, I'm doing the best I can.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know you are, Captain, can you just be done?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So you hit the ground, and…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And they all lived happily ever after.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Almost there, almost…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, you're there Captain, you're there. That's a great splint. Stop! Stop…ah…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, how long before you were rescued?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No rescue. 
(Carter looks at him, shocked) 
It wasn't exactly…an official…mission, if you know what I mean. So I had to make it out on my own. Nine days.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wow, what got you through it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sara…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Your wife.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
At the time. I needed to see her again. You tallied our supplies yet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, Sir. Supplies for three days, but we can stretch that. We've got a little drinking water, but… 
(she raises her hand, gesturing upward)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ice melts.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, and we've got our field cooking gear to melt it. The flashlight batteries are going to be a problem. We've got thermal blankets.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's cool. By the way, Captain, we ARE going to get out of here; that's an order.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How's the splint feel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Captain? You have to believe me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I want to, Sir. I just don't see how.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Then we'd better start looking for a way. Because I'll be damned if I'm going to die on some god-forsaken block of ice a million light years from home. Is that clear?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Good. Help me up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Ah, ah, I don't think you should move.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Probably not, but my butt's freezing to the ground. Come on.</blockquote>

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

[CARTER helps him up. O'NEILL stands, his arm across CARTER'S shoulders. They look around the cavern.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah, a little paint, a coupla windows, maybe a fireplace in the corner…it'll be just like home.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[DANIEL'S eyelids flicker and then open. TEAL'C comes into focus.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Teal'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The Stargate has malfunctioned. We came back through the Gate at too great a velocity.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack and Sam?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They did not follow.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes they did. I know they did. They were right behind us. That doesn't make any sense.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I concur. In a few hours a probe will be sent back in an attempt to determine their fate.</blockquote>

'''INT—ICE CAVERN'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We might be able to climb out of here. You might, anyway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I said, you might be able to climb outta here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, I've found it!</blockquote>

[CARTER is sitting on what looks to be a boulder, chipping at the ice.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Found what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The DHD. I figured the glacial flow must have separated the Stargate from its Dial Home Device, but it looks like it might be intact. 
(She sweeps snow away)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Pulling himself up over the edge of the ice block) 
Ah, God. Oh. 
(He stops and rests for a moment, waiting for the pain to pass.) 
Can we dig it out?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Even if it doesn't work, we can use the chopped ice to melt drinking water.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right.</blockquote>

[CARTER starts chipping away but stops—O'NEILL is clasping his chest.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What's wrong with your chest?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I think I cracked a rib too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why didn't you say something?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I was afraid you'd try to put a splint on it. I'll be fine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I've been thinking about where Daniel and Teal'c might be.</blockquote>

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

[O'NEILL gets his knife out and joins in chipping at the ice.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
So far, I count three possible explanations. One, Daniel misdialed and they're here. Somewhere we haven't found.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't see 'em.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Right. Two, Daniel didn't misdial but for some reason the Stargate malfunctioned during transit. Don't ask me how, I haven't figured that part out yet. Anyway, they got sent back to Earth, but for some reason we got sent here.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Three. The Stargate malfunctioned. We got sent to this planet, Daniel and Teal'c got sent to another one.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
There is no four.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's after three.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Not this time, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, we'll assume they made it back to Earth. They'll start sending search parties.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
To where?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Here, I hope.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Where would they begin? They have no idea where we are. With all the possible Stargates a random search could easily take…ten years!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not if they look here first.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Even if all SG teams started searching right now, the mathematical probability of them even…</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
I think too much.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL nods. They resume chipping.]

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

<blockquote>SILER 
Charging circuit MX-43 at 20%.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
20%, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SILER 
One hundred. Circuit is holding, reset and standby. She's all yours, General.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well done, Sergeant. You heard the man.</blockquote>

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

[SG-3 stand at the Gate, armed and waiting.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Chevron one encoded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
SG-3 and I are ready and awaiting your orders, General.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I won't authorize this rescue mission unless the probe sends back the right pictures, Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Chevron two encoded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
All defense teams stay alert. These hostiles might have both our addresses and our transmitter code.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Chevron three encoded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You don't actually think they'd give up the transmitter codes to the enemy, do you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Not willingly, no.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Chevron four encoded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I do not believe they would do so, even under the duress of torture.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Chevron five encoded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Teal'c, in the event we find no enemy activity on the other side, you will coordinate with Major Castleman on the rescue mission.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Chevron six encoded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I understand.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Chevron seven is locked.</blockquote>

[The wormhole engages. A MALP is sent through the Stargate.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
The probe should reach the Stargate at P4A-771 in five seconds. Four, three, two, now.</blockquote>

[The picture transmitted shows no sign of life, only another MALP.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No sign of Jack and Sam, but no evidence they got into a firefight either.</blockquote>

[There are flashes, and energy weapons shoot at the MALP.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What are you waiting for? Close the iris! Disengage the Stargate. SG-3 stand down. The rescue mission is scrubbed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
General!</blockquote>

[DANIEL and TEAL'C stare at the screen, which displays "transmission interrupt".]

'''INT—ICE CAVERN'''

[O'NEILL is heating something in a pot over a fire. CARTER is still chipping at the DHD.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Soup's on. 
(He pours the liquid into two cups.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Just a little more, I'm almost through.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on now. You don't want it to get cold.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Approaching) 
Ah. I didn't know you could cook.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I can't, but my melted ice is to die for.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Thank you. Sir, maybe I should have another look at you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, I'm fine. Eat.

CARTER 
(Eats some soup) 
I've, uh, been thinking about how the Stargate might have malfunctioned.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, we don't totally understand how it works; but the theory we have so far is that the Gate creates an artificial wormhole, that somehow transfers an energized matter stream in one direction along an extra-dimensional conduit. I think the matter stream between Stargates got redirected, kind of like a…a lightning bolt jumping from one point to another in mid-strike. Now, I figure it had to have been the attack on P4A-771. The Gate itself was probably struck by enough energy during the firefight to influence the direction of the matter stream before we reached the other side. Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm sorry, I wasn't listening.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What I'm saying is, we must have emerged through a Stargate relatively close to Earth in the Gate network. Somewhere between P4A-771 and Earth. Now, if the SG rescue teams reach the same conclusion, it could significantly narrow their search.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's good news.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL is panting; not looking good. CARTER observes him with concern.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[DANIEL is looking at the glass map showing the planets.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay. So if they're not there… 
(points) 
and they are not here… 
(points)</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is possible that they may have perished within the wormhole.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah. In which case they're gone. I know. I thought of that. But if they are alive, if there's the least remote possibility that this malfunction sent them to a different Stargate…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Was it not Captain Carter who deduced the possible combinations of Stargate symbols numbered in the millions?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(nods) 
Yeah. 
(Stares at map.) 
Well, we have to narrow it down.</blockquote>

'''INT—ICE CAVERN'''

[CARTER and O'NEILL are still chipping at the ice block. The red center of the DHD is exposed.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Whoa. 
(She scrapes the chipped ice away) 
Colonel.</blockquote>

[CARTER pushes chipped ice aside, revealing a hand with a Jaffa gauntlet on it, still under the ice.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
A serpent guard.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
I guess he didn't make it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ya think?</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[DANIEL is pointing at the glass map.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay, this is P4A-771, this is Earth. Now, the Stargate shut itself down just after Teal'c and I came through.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
There was an energy surge.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Right. But what would that have done to the wormhole itself?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SILER 
I have no idea.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Could it just disappear?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SILER 
No, I don't think so, Sir. It would have to discharge somewhere.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Like…another Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SILER 
Yeah, maybe. 
(Turns to Hammond) 
Sir, it's all theoretical, but we think that Stargates are basically giant superconductors. Charged matter streams along lines of force between them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Positive to negative, like electricity. Right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SILER 
Except for the fact the whole trip happens outside our dimension; yeah, more or less.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay, what if it jumped. Redirected itself here, or here, 
(points to destinations on map) 
or anywhere along…here. 
(Daniel spreads his hand and slides it over the planets between Earth and P4A-771.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You're suggesting we search all these worlds?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, at least we've narrowed an entire galaxy of Stargates down to a handful of possibilities.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Assuming you're right, why haven't they used that Stargate to come back on their own?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Teal'c and I were flung out of this Gate at this end so fast I don't even remember hitting the ramp. Now, they could be badly hurt, in which case we will not have to search far from the Stargates themselves. I think we owe it to them to try.</blockquote>

'''INT—ICE CAVERN'''

[CARTER and O'NEILL have uncovered the top of the DHD.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You IDed the seventh symbol yet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, this one has to be the point of origin. I've never seen it before. 
(She looks down) 
No…the batteries…Guess it's now or never.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I've always preferred now…to never.</blockquote>

[He coughs, spitting up blood. Carter winces.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Here goes.</blockquote>

[CARTER dials. The chevrons flicker and come on slowly…1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6…the seventh chevron doesn't engage; they all fade out.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Dammit! Damn!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Did you dial the right address?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes! It has to be something as simple as the control interface. If we just can dig down to the panel on the DHD, I can fix it.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, we got to keep trying!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Of course we do. But we've been awake…for a very long time. It'll be there in the morning. 
(He crumples up in agony) 
God…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What about you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I told you we're going to get out of here. It's just going to take longer than we thought.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Nods) 
Yes Sir. 
(She sounds unconvinced)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Captain…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Nods) 
Yes Sir.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[DANIEL sticks another Post-It note onto the glass map. HAMMOND enters the room.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Dr. Jackson?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We just received probe telemetry from P5C-11 and 12, neither of them have a breathable atmosphere any more. If they ever did.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I have formally reported Colonel O'Neill and Captain Carter as missing in action.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Demanding) 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Missing in action doesn't mean we stop looking, son.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND leaves, and DANIEL turns to look at the map once more.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Missing. I'm missing something.</blockquote>

'''INT—ICE CAVERN'''

[CARTER and O'NEILL are lying together on the icy ground, CARTER resting her head on O'NEILL's chest. O'NEILL coughs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh God. Captain. 
(CARTER raises her head.) 
As much as I might…otherwise think this is nice…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sshhh. Try to sleep.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Is that what we're doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You're exhausted; you passed out. I just thought we had to combine body heat or we wouldn't make it through the night.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's fine. It's just…very hard to sleep…with broken ribs when someone's lying on you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sorry. 
(She moves slightly, so that her head is on his arm, not his chest.) 
Sorry, sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's better.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sleep for a few hours and I'll fix the DHD.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay. Night.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Night. 
(They're silent for a moment.) 
Oh…Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's my sidearm, I swear…</blockquote>

[CARTER giggles.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No giggling, please…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
If we don't make it, I won't have any regrets. You?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'll regret…dying.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONTROL AND BRIEFING ROOMS'''

[DANIEL is walking around with a mug of coffee. He stops and stares at the Stargate. Upstairs, HAMMOND is equally pensive. In the Gate room, DAVIS watches another team return.]

'''INT—ICE CAVERN'''

[CARTER is getting really annoyed with the DHD.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
God, why won't you work!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(over radio) 
Carter. Carter…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel! 
(She leaps off of the ice block. In her hurry, she loses her balance and slides to the ground.) 
Ow. Sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm usually the first one up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You're bleeding internally; I don't know how badly. Your broken leg may already be frostbitten, I can't tell. I've been trying to warm it up with the last of our cooking sterno but that's about had it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's the bad news? 
(Carter looks away, hiding her emotions.) 
Help me up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, Sir. You need to heal. That's an order.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I give the orders around here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Doctor's orders. 
(She takes a pot of water off of the stove) 
I want you to drink as much of this as you can. Once that sterno dies, we won't be able to thaw any more. 
(She holds the pot to O'Neill's lips) 
I should have gotten you out of here by now. I'm sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You will, you will.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I have been working on the control panel for the last twelve hours. It just…I don't know why it won't work. 
(her voice breaks) 
It should work! I—I'm missing something.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's time to go to plan B.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What would plan B be?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You…you take the rest of the supplies and climb out of here. Take your chances up on the planet. Head towards daylight.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
If I can't get that Stargate to work; we will BOTH go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Right, I'll race you. All right, Captain, make it work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes Sir.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[There's an incoming traveler in the SGC—TEAL'C steps through the Stargate with an injured man slung over his shoulders.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Major Castleman requires medical attention.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Medical team to the embarkation room! 
(to a technician) 
Put the iris on safe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Come on, let's go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What happened?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We were exploring a cave not far from the Stargate. He fell several metres from a rock ledge. There was no sign of Captain Carter or Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Are you all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEALC 
I am ready to embark again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm calling the search off.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This was the last of the planets to fit your theory, Doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
W…w…well, it's been, what, a few days? I mean, what if we stop just short of finding them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm sorry!</blockquote>

[HAMMOND stomps out of the room. DANIEL and TEAL'C stare after him, dismay clear on their faces.]

'''INT—ICE CAVERN'''

[CARTER is still trying to repair the DHD.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, energy converger intact. Oh God—reset! Reset! Why didn't I think! Colonel, I'm going to interrupt the power. I'm going to shut it all off and turn it on again! Okay, this better work. 
(She fiddles inside the panel, then sticks her knife in the ice) 
Okay, okay…</blockquote>

[CARTER dials, the chevrons glow. She gets partway through the address, and the ground begins to shake. Pieces of ice fall around her.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[DANIEL is still in the room with the glass map. A glass full of water starts to rattle, the water in it slopping around. DANIEL stares at the glass, then walks over to look down at the Stargate. Some of the chevrons are lit.]

'''INT—ICE CAVE'''

[CARTER looks despairingly at the Stargate. She puts her hand on the center crystal; the light in the chevrons dies.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Work, ah…work…</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[DANIEL is staring at the glass of water and a pitcher; the water is still moving slightly. TEAL'C walks in.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Daniel Jackson.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Teal'c. Did you see that?</blockquote>

[TEAL'C stares at the water, looks at the Stargate, and then frowns at DANIEL.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Why are you here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I couldn't sleep. I was thinking that I must be missing something, and now I just realized. We ruled out a world we shouldn't have.</blockquote>

'''INT—ICE CAVERN'''

[CARTER kneels next to O'NEILL, who is lying on the ground.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I guess it didn't work.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not your fault.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't understand why it won't work!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Captain, plan B. Go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, Sir…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sam…I'm dying. Follow my order. Please.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir…</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes Sir.</blockquote>

[CARTER picks up their supplies. She nods at O'NEILL and leaves the cavern. She tries to climb the icy crevasse.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[HAMMOND, DANIEL and TEAL'C are in the room.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How many Earth-based cultures have we encountered from other worlds from periods both before and after we think the Stargate was buried?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Several, I think.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Right, and we've probably only scratched the surface. Now, so far we've tried to account for these discrepancies with various theories of parallel or accelerated…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What's your point, Doctor?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What if…there's a second Stargate here. What if this energy surge caused the wormhole to jump from one Stargate to another…here. 
(Daniel taps the circle in the center of the map.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
On Earth?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Teal'c, would the Goa'uld have put more than one Stargate on a planet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If the first became lost to them, it is possible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Remember, the one that Ra put here might not have been the first. The Goa'uld didn't build the Stargate system.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Then where is it?</blockquote>

'''INT—ICE CAVE'''

[CARTER is climbing up in an icy tunnel.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Uses radio) 
Colonel, I can't see the surface yet, it looks like it just keeps going up.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes Sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It was an honor serving with you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes Sir.</blockquote>

[CARTER blinks back tears and keeps climbing.]

'''INT—OBSERVATION ROOM'''

[DANIEL is pacing. TEAL'C and HAMMOND are standing over DAVIS, who has a computer console in front of him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It would have to be in a remote location otherwise it would have been discovered by now. It could have even been buried until recently otherwise the Goa'uld would have continued to use it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Let us hope it is not still buried.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(To Davis) 
We're looking for radio transmissions on SG-1's emergency frequency. Co-ordinate with our military listening posts around the entire globe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
General, when we first opened our Stargate, it used to shake…a LOT. I mean, the ground, the whole facility, everything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Since then, we've installed frequency dampers that limit that to only a slight vibration.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay, but what if the second Gate doesn't have…those. Would it shake enough to indicate its location on a seismometer?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Damn right it would. Run a search for all recent seismic activity worldwide. See if any coincide with the time of our Stargate malfunction.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And check about 4am local time. I was here, I thought someone was trying an offworld activation, but nothing happened. Except for the chevrons glowed and there was a slight vibration.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEALC 
Captain Carter and Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(To Teal'c) 
What happens when you dial your own phone number? 
(He looks at Teal'c's blank face.) 
Wrong person to ask. 
(To Hammond) 
What happens when you dial your own phone number?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You get a busy signal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Exactly. What else could cause a vibration like that unless if they were trying to dial home? They couldn't get through. I mean, even if their seventh symbol looked different, the coordinates of the two gates would still be exactly the same.</blockquote>

'''INT—ICE CAVERN'''

[CARTER is still climbing.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Uses radio) 
Colonel, I'm almost there. I'm going to try and bring back help, Sir, I want you to hold that thought.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL is no longer conscious. CARTER climbs out into the light. She turns in a circle. There is ice for as far as the eye can see.]

'''INT—SGC OBSERVATION ROOM'''

<blockquote>DAVIS 
We got it! Antarctica! The timing of the event is to the second, including the event that Dr. Jackson experienced a few hours ago!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Latitude and longitude?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Yes Sir! It's only about 50 miles out of McMurdo!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C and DANIEL: 
General, permission…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Granted! Order McMurdo station to begin a search of those coordinates NOW.</blockquote>

'''INT—ICE CAVERN'''

[CARTER is still at the planet's surface.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Uses radio) 
Colonel? It's an ice planet. That's all there is as far as the eye can see. No chance.</blockquote>

[CARTER climbs back into the tunnel and shouts to O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel! I'm coming down! 
(She loses her footing and slides all the way down to fall beside O'Neill.) 
Colonel. 
(She crawls to his side.) 
Colonel…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Not opening his eyes.) 
Sara…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm here, Jack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Cold, so cold…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I know. It's all right. You can sleep now. It was an honor serving with you too, Colonel.</blockquote>

'''EXT—ANTARCTICA'''

[Helicopters and rescue teams converge over the pair's position. Men are lowered down into the cavern on ropes.]

<blockquote>RADIO 
McMurdo, this is rescue team Charlie, we found them. Over.</blockquote>

'''INT—ICE CAVERN'''

[CARTER is strapped to a stretcher.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sam! Sam! Come on.</blockquote>

[CARTER slowly opens her eyes.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
She's going to be okay, you're going to be okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
As is Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL is also strapped to a stretcher.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Let's get them in the chopper.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
…the Colonel…he's bleeding internally.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We know, Captain, don't worry, he's going to be all right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
General, you came through the Stargate for us…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Not exactly, Captain. 
(To one of the rescue team) 
A team from the SGC will be arriving within the hour to secure this area. In the meantime let's get these people home.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND turns, his gaze falls upon the icy Stargate…]

'''TEASER'''

'''FADE IN'''

'''EXT—VOLCANIC PLANET COVERED IN ASH, WITH MORE FALLING'''

[The view pans across towards a Stargate which is in the process of opening. The four members of SG-1 come through.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wow! None of this was going on when we sent the probe through.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What's this stuff in the air?</blockquote>

[View of volcano erupting.]

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, Daniel. Dial it up, get us out of here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No argument.</blockquote>

[Daniel walks towards the DHD but sees something in the near distance.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Wait a minute.</blockquote>

[Daniel takes a closer look.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
There's something out there.</blockquote>

[The team turn to look as Daniel reaches the object which caught his eye.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's a woman, she's alive. There's more—hurry you guys.</blockquote>

[Daniel kneels at the woman's side as O'Neill, Carter and Teal'c check other bodies.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
There's no life here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This one's had it.</blockquote>

[Daniel brushes ash from the face of one of the victims.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's just like Pompeii. Everyone died of suffocation before the lava started to flow.</blockquote>

[As O'Neill checks another body, Daniel notices unusual objects attached to the alien's arm.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What are these things?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
O'Neill! There are two more alive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter? How long before we're toast?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't know, Sir, I'm not a vulcanologist. It could be days, it could be minutes.</blockquote>

[One of the victims raises his head. Carter goes to check his pulse and he grabs her wrist.]

<blockquote>VICTIM 
(in a broken voice) 
Don't…help us.</blockquote>

'''FADE OUT'''

'''END OF TEASER—OPENING CREDITS'''

'''INT—STARGATE ROOM'''

[SG-1 and medical teams help victims down the ramp.]

<blockquote>UNKNOWN VOICE 
Move away. Give them some room.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right. Let's go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MEDIC 
You OK?</blockquote>

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

[Hammond comes up to the team as O'Neill and Carter sit on the ramp.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill? What happened?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(breathless) 
We encountered some very severe volcanic activity, Sir.</blockquote>

[Hammond turns to Daniel who is rubbing his left eye.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Who are all these people?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We don't really know, Sir They were all dead and dying around the Gate. The air was highly toxic.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And hot.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You better have Doctor Frasier take a look at you. We'll de-brief as soon as you're ready.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You evacuated ten people from an alien planet, Colonel. Doctor Frasier says they're all human and it looks like they're going to live. This was one hell of a rescue operation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
There were no buildings in the area of any kind?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No sir. We don't know how far they walked, but it looked like they were trying to make it back to the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What do we know about these devices they were wearing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, they all emit low levels of radiation indicating an operative energy source, but there's no circuitry, moving parts or chips. We've never seen anything like it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I thought at first that they were from a parallel culture but it looks like they might be way ahead of us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We've determined humans on other planets originated here on Earth, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Then given our present state of technology, could they be ahead of us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes. Umm…we'd be colonising space right now if it hadn't been for the Dark Ages. There was a period of over eight hundred years where science was heresy and anathema. Maybe they didn't have that set-back.</blockquote>

[An airwoman enters.]

<blockquote>AIRWOMAN 
General Hammond? The spokesperson for the rescued people is awake. He'd like to speak with you. All of you.</blockquote>

'''INT—INFIRMARY'''

<blockquote>UNKNOWN VOICE over intercom 
Attention. All off duty medical personnel report to the infirmary, sub level 20. Stat.</blockquote>

[Hammond and the team enter and walk towards a bed.]

<blockquote>OMOC 
Who are you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm Major General Hammond. This is Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Samantha Carter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh…Daniel Jackson.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
Where is this place?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You're on a planet called Earth. These people saved you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
Nothing could be further from the truth.</blockquote>

[Hammond looks over at O'Neill, surprised at the comment.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, unless I missed something, you're…better off here than you were there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
There was a rescue transport on the way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, half your people were already dead. I don't think it would have gotten there in time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
Perhaps that's more of a problem for you than it was for us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Beg your pardon?</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
I find it unbelievable that anyone so primitive could have deciphered the Gate system.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Did you say primitive?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I too am from a world very different from this one. Here life is highly valued.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
Quite a statement for a Jaffa.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Sir, I'd like to know who you are and what you know about the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
I am Omoc. Our world is called Tollan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
And what do you know of the Goa'uld and Jaffa?</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
We're aware of them; we don't interact with them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well then, we share a common enemy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
Did I mention an enemy?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I only meant…it might benefit everyone if your people and ours could be friends.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
I demand you return everything that you have taken from us and allow us to go home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, it could take a while for those volcanoes to quiet down. In the meantime, I'm a bit of a culture buff, I'd like to learn about your history and customs.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
I've said enough. I'll say no more.</blockquote>

[Hammond and the team exit, but an alien in another bed looks over and holds Carter's gaze.]

'''INT—BASE CORRIDOR'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Captain Carter, I want you to monitor the situation on Tollan very closely, as soon as it's safe there, I want those people gone.</blockquote>

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

'''INT—STARGATE ROOM.'''

[Daniel enters and joins Carter at the foot of the ramp where she is fine-tuning an UAV.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
New hobby?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Neat, huh? Miniature UAV with all the bells and whistles. I'm just adding heat sensors so I can send it through the Gate to Tollan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hm. I was just down in the infirmary with one of the Tollan, trying to get them to talk to us. They only ask questions, they never answer them. As a matter of fact, one of them was asking a lot of questions about you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I thought they weren't interested in us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oohh…I didn't say us. I said you. General Hammond thinks maybe you'll have better luck getting some answers. He'd like to see you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
OK.</blockquote>

'''INT—BASE CORRIDOR'''

[Hammond and Carter appear round the corner.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
And I was hoping he would open up to you a bit more than Doctor Jackson or myself.</blockquote>

[They walk towards one of the aliens sitting outside the Infirmary.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(to Carter) 
You remember Narim?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes. From the planet. You were…uh…a lot dirtier then.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Oh…Captain Carter, or is it Doctor?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why don't we just make it Samantha?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
You may call me Narim.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
OK.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Captain Carter, Mr Narim seems very interested in our planet. I thought maybe you'd like to escort him up to the surface to have a look.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Really?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
I would be very pleased to have that opportunity.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
As long as you give me your word you'll stay with Captain Carter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
You have my word.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Great! Let's go. Sir.</blockquote>

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

[Carter and Narim step out of a doorway, followed by security personnel. They start walking.]

<blockquote>NARIM 
Umm…I wanted to tell you, that I'm glad to be alive. Ummm…so are the others.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Thank you. And please tell your friends.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh. You…you can tell them yourself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
No, I can't. I shouldn't be talking to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why not?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
You know, back on Tollan, I thought I was dying. I heard your voice and managed to open my eyes, and, uh…when I saw you…uh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
An old superstition. There was a time before reason and science when my ancestors believed in all manner of nonsense. Like the Sher'mau. The story goes that if a Sher'mau appears at the moment of death, she would take you to her dwelling in the stars.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Ah! We call them angels.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Than you still believe in them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Some of us do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Ours were reported to be quite beautiful…and, when I saw you…well…you seemed to fit the description.</blockquote>

[Carter and Narim both smile.]

<blockquote>NARIM 
And then I learned from Doctor Jackson that you're also a brilliant scientist.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wow!</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
I'm afraid I ask quite a few questions. Curiosity.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's a quality Omoc doesn't seem to share.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Can you tell me something about your world? Is it permitted?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, yeah. Of course.</blockquote>

[Narim spots a bird flying overhead and appears amazed. Carter is amused at his amazement.]

<blockquote>NARIM 
A flying animal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah. We call them birds.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Are there other animals?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh yeah. Millions of them.

NARIM 
Huh. There have been none on Tollan for generations.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, I could bring you pictures, if you like.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
I would like that very much. Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
But, I think it would be best if Omoc didn't know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Omoc is not as harsh as he seems. He is only trying to protect us. And you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
From what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Perhaps…</blockquote>

<blockquote>Narim looks towards the two security officers and pauses.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Perhaps we should go back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
OK.</blockquote>

'''INT—STARGATE ROOM'''

[The Stargate sequence is being initiated.]

<blockquote>CHEVRON GUY 
Chevron six. Engaged.</blockquote>

[A scientist is preparing an UAV for launch.]

<blockquote>CHEVRON GUY 
Chevron seven. Locked.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Launching UAV in 10 seconds…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1</blockquote>

[The UAV launches through the Stargate's wormhole.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(quietly) 
Yeah!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Successful launch. UAV is holding course and the wormhole should reach the Tollan Gate in…3…2…1. Temperature—ground 1700 degrees Fahrenheit. Air—seems to be in pockets, ranging from 1500 degrees down to 200.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sounds like LA.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
If the heat doesn't get you, the atmosphere will. It's mostly pyroclastics, basalt, ash. A person could suffocate very quickly.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How long before it cools down?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't know. Not any time soon. It doesn't look like it'll matter, anyway. That lava's flowing straight toward the Gate. Computer predicts that at the current rate the Gate will be buried in a couple of days.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, looks like we've got some guests for a while.</blockquote>

'''INT—INFIRMARY'''

[Daniel and Carter are standing by Omoc's bedside.]

<blockquote>OMOC 
Are you absolutely certain?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes. I'm sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
Then nature succeeded where we failed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What? You were going to seal the Gate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
Tollan is a world in cataclysm. Evacuation was complete, my team stayed to…Our final task was to close the Gate, so that no-one could return and be harmed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, wherever you were going, we can recalibrate the co-ordinates from here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
The new settlement world is outside the Gate system. We'll need a ship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh! Ah…we don't have ships. Not that kind, anyway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Our space program is relatively new.</blockquote>

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM.'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, the bottom line here is your survivors have become refugees. If they don't want to be here, we've got to relocate them somewhere.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You know, General, we have done some fairly good deeds out there. Maybe we should try calling in some markers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
OK. Colonel, you and Teal'c follow up on that. Maybe go pay a visit to some of our old friends. Captain Carter, I want you and Doctor Jackson to get the multi-purpose room on 5C readied as a refugee housing centre.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

'''INT—REFUGEE CENTRE'''

[Hammond, Omoc and Daniel enter.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
As an act of good faith, we're returning the devices you were wearing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
They are not weapons.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That's what our technicians thought.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
So you had them tested? Not much of an act of good faith.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, actually, we couldn't figure out exactly what they were.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I want to assure you, we're doing all we can to re-locate your people.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
Are we to have some say in the matter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, yes. Self-determination is a concept that's very important to us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We'll do our best. In the meantime, we'll make you as comfortable as possible, but I want you to understand, you're restricted to the immediate premises.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
Are we prisoners?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No. No, absolutely not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
But you are from an alien environment. It's as much for your safety as for ours.</blockquote>

'''INT—REFUGEE CENTRE'''

[The centre is now divided into areas, holding bunk beds. Carter enters carrying books and an animal carrier, and walks towards Narim.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hey. How you doing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Um…it may sound ridiculous, but I have no idea what to do with these items.</blockquote>

[Narim holds up bed linen.]

<blockquote>NARIM 
Oh…well, our sleeping platforms adjust automatically to our body temperature. They don't…come with accoutrements.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's OK. I'll show you. I brought you some things to take a look at.</blockquote>

[Narim accepts the books.]

<blockquote>NARIM 
Oh! Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You're welcome. Uh…you…you might like to see this first.</blockquote>

[Carter places the animal carrier on the bed and opens it, bringing out a ginger cat which miaows. Narim laughs.]

<blockquote>NARIM 
I never thought I'd see a living animal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
His name's Schroedinger.</blockquote>

[Carter passes the cat to Narim who holds it in his arms.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh…it's kind of a joke really. His name, that is. Schroedinger's cat…</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Oh?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Right. 
(Carter realizes that Narim does not understand) 
Uh, see, there was an Earth physicist by the name of Erwin Schroedinger. He had this theoretical experiment. Put a cat in a box, add a can of poison gas, activated by the decay of a radioactive atom, and close the box.</blockquote>

[Narim continues to pet the cat.]

<blockquote>NARIM 
Sounds like a cruel man.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh, no, no. It was just a theory. He never really did it. He said that if he did do it at any one instant, the cat would be both dead and alive at the same time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Ah! Kulivrian physics. An atom state is indeterminate until measured by an outside observer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We call it quantum physics. You know the theory?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Yeah, I've studied it…in among other misconceptions of elementary science.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Misconception? You telling me that you guys have licked quantum physics?</blockquote>

[Omoc joins Carter and Narim.]

<blockquote>NARIM 
Omoc.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh…I'll come back and help you with this later.</blockquote>

[Carter leaves.]

<blockquote>NARIM 
I did not tell her anything.</blockquote>

'''INT—STAIRS TO BRIEFING ROOM'''

[O'Neill and Teal'c enter the room by the stairs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We set up a meeting with Tuplo for 08:00 tomorrow.</blockquote>

[Carter and Daniel are sitting at the briefing room table.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Colonel O'Neill was correct. Many of the worlds we have visited are eager to be of service.</blockquote>

[Hammond enters.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
People! We have a problem. The refugees seem to have escaped.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Escaped?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How did they get past the guards.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You can ask them that when you find them.</blockquote>

'''EXT—NIGHTIME'''

[A search dog leads the team through woodland.]

<blockquote>UNKNOWN VOICE 
They're over here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hold fire.</blockquote>

[The refugees are together in a group, not running. Omoc walks towards O'Neill.]

<blockquote>OMOC 
We were merely observing the stars.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, you're all going to have to come back in now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
So we are prisoners.</blockquote>

'''INT—HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

[O'Neill enters.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Any idea how they got past the guards, Sir?</blockquote>

[Carter is standing behind Hammond.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
None. A surveillance video in the multi-purpose room was exposed to some sort of interference, just as the escape was taking place.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Can the video be salvaged, maybe computer enhanced?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We're trying now. In the meantime, we should get this show on the road.</blockquote>

[They exit the office into the briefing room. Two aliens sitting at the table rise. Omoc, Daniel and Teal'c are also at the table.]

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

[O'Neill shakes Tuplo's hand.]

<blockquote>TUPLO 
Good to see you. General Hammond, before we begin, I wish to thank you for allowing me to be the first visitor to your Earth from the Land of Light. It is indeed an honour.</blockquote>

[Hammond, O'Neill and Carter sit.]

<blockquote>TUPLO 
My lord Omoc, the Land of Light is a world of eternal brightness, where fertility abounds. Our farms produce rich harvests. Our rivers are blessed with fish and fowl. We would be honoured to share our land with your people.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
You have no idea who or what we are.</blockquote>

[Hammond and Tuplo look surprised.]

<blockquote>TUPLO 
We know that you are in need, and that you are here among those who have proven themselves our friends. That is enough.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
You're missing the point.</blockquote>

[Omoc rises.]

<blockquote>OMOC 
(to Hammond) 
His planet is unacceptable to us. These people are even more primitive than you.</blockquote>

'''INT—REFUGEE CENTRE'''

[Schroedinger is on a bed, being petted.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Narim…can you tell me why Omoc is so…you know…</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Obstinate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah…</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
The nearest planet in our solar system was called Sureeta. When we began to explore space, we learned she was inhabited.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Did you make contact?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Yes, when we thought they were sufficiently advanced. They were on a level very similar to yours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So what happened?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
We offered them a device…to produce unlimited productive energy. And they used it to make war.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How bad was it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
In one rotation of our planet, they had destroyed theirs.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
One day?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
The destruction shifted our planet's orbit point 3 tekanna, enough to begin a chain of events that…made our world unstable.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So that would explain why he's so afraid to give a society like ours any of your technology.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Tell me, what…what were you really doing outside last night.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Omoc spoke the truth. By setting the position of your stars, we were able to calibrate the distance between Earth and the new homeworld. It is very far away, Samantha. Too far to hope for a ship in our lifetime.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Have you ever thought about staying here? On earth?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
I would…gladly stay, if only to spend more time with a certain inhabitant of this planet. I speak, of course, of Schroedinger.</blockquote>

[Both laugh.]

'''INT—REFUGEE CENTRE'''

[The room contains the Tollan, plus Omoc and SG-1.]

<blockquote>OMOC 
Our escape was a test. You did exactly what I knew you would do. You used threat and force to solve your problem.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You didn't give us any other choice.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
You could have come for us unarmed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey! You haven't exactly behaved like someone I want to trust. I'm not going to put my team at risk.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
And I will not risk my people in your care.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Look…Omoc. If you're so advanced, why don't you let your people decide for themselves?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Narim, this is a free country. Every year we take in thousands of refugees fleeing repression. If you request asylum, you can stay here no matter what Omoc wants.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
You don't care anything about Narim's rights. You only want our technology, nothing more.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
As a matter of fact, I wouldn't mind knowing how you got the hell out of this place. Technically speaking, of course.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
You don't need to know how, only that we did, and we can do it again any time we need to.</blockquote>

[Airwoman enters.]

<blockquote>AIRWOMAN 
Colonel, General Hammond would like to see you and your team right away, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you.</blockquote>

[SG-1 exit.]

'''INT—CONTROL ROOM'''

[Chevron Man works at a computer keyboard.]

<blockquote>CHEVRON MAN 
We've managed to augment the surveillance video from the multi-purpose room and some of the corridors…with computer enhancement. You're not going to believe this.</blockquote>

[A monitor shows the Tollan disappearing through the multi-purpose room walls.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Wow! Cool!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
But totally impossible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, only from the perspective of our limited science, apparently.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHEVRON MAN 
We have similar video of them passing through an elevator door and wall, on ground level.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This is knowledge far beyond that of the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
That's exactly what the President and Joint Chiefs want to hear.</blockquote>

[Maybourne enters, with two other officers. Hammond and SG-1 turn to him.]

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
(saluting) 
Colonel Maybourne, Sir. NID.</blockquote>

[Hammond salutes.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Intelligence? What happened to Kennedy?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Promoted. I took his place.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Promoted? Talk about failing upwards.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Colonel O'Neill. I read about your conflict with Colonel Kennedy in his report. I assure you, such an attitude will not prevail with me, in either direction.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I sense that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Would you mind telling me exactly why you're here, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
You didn't get my advance?</blockquote>

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[SG-1 are sitting at the table. Maybourne places official papers before Hammond.]

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
That's an order releasing the Tollans to our section. You're to be congratulated, General, the Stargate program is finally paying off. This was…quite a coup.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Excuse me? These are people we're talking about.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
These people do have rights, you know?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Do they? Under what nation's jurisdiction.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How about basic human rights?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I can't release them to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
I beg your pardon?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I don't believe the President meant to release these people until they have been through quarantine. We don't have any idea what kinds of diseases they might be carrying.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
You're out of your league here, gentlemen. You're playing in my ballpark now, and I have the full authority of the President.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
So do I, Colonel. Why don't you ask the airman outside to show you to our guest quarters?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
That's OK. I'll wait.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That wasn't an invitation. It was an order, Colonel.</blockquote>

[Maybourne and the two officers exit.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General? Didn't Doctor Frasier give the Tollans a…clean bill of health?</blockquote>

[Hammond smiles.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Just don't let her tell Maybourne that. At most, I've bought us a day, people. Find me some alternatives.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You're a good man, General.</blockquote>

'''INT—REFUGEE CENTRE'''

[Narim places Schroedinger on a bed.]

<blockquote>NARIM 
Then it doesn't matter how I ask for asylum?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Maybourne would love that. But you'd be working for him, on his terms.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Then Omoc is correct. Your people will use our knowledge for war.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's not us. We are dealing with another part of our government, one that specialises in chronic paranoia.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Like Sureeta. It's going to happen again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It doesn't have to…that's why I am here. Narim, I am hoping that you can convince Omoc to consider one of the other planets we've presented.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Look, it's no use. He's right. If they are all as primitive or more primitive than you are, Sureeta could happen on any of them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I wish you would stop calling us primitive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
I'm sorry. I only meant technologically. You are anything but primitive, Samantha. What your mind doesn't know, your heart fills in.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't know what that means, exactly, but it's beautiful.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Which is exactly what it means.</blockquote>

'''INT—VIEW OF HAMMOND'S OFFICE FROM THE BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Hammond is speaking on a red phone. View moves to Maybourne in the briefing room.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Just what exactly do you hope to get from these people?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Well, for one, superior weapons.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They won't cooperate, you know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
I assure you, Colonel, they will.</blockquote>

[Hammond enters from his office. Carter and O'Neill stand.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I just hung up from talking to the President. I guess Mr Maybourne has been talking to him recently.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
I did tell you I had his ear, General.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel Maybourne has full authorisation to relocate the Tollans immediately.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Of course he does.</blockquote>

[Daniel rises from the table in disgust.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
To where will you take them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
To a secure community here in the Rockies.</blockquote>

[Daniel turns to Maybourne, clearly not happy with the situation.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nice little community with high walls, guards, maybe a little barbed wire.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
They're a valuable asset. They need to be protected.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Nice…forced intellectual labour.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And life imprisonment.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
These aliens will live a better life than most Americans. They'll have a great view, the best food, every convenience, everything they need.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Everything *except* a life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You know…the Pentagon, intelligence, that I can understand, but the President? I voted for him!</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Colonel, have the Tollans ready for transport at 0600 tomorrow.</blockquote>

[Maybourne and his officers exit.]

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

[Hammond exits to the outside and walks toward SG-1.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
OK, Colonel, want to tell me why I'm here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Because Maybourne isn't, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, we wanted to talk to you about what we could do to keep Maybourne from taking the Tollan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
General, we must ensure the Tollans escape.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I can't let you do that. We'd all be court martialled.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, I'm about a hair away from not caring. However, Daniel…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I can't be court martialled, Sir</blockquote>

'''INT—REFUGEE CENTRE'''

<blockquote>OMOC 
(to Daniel) 
The one you call Maybourne was here questioning my people, wanting us to take some sort of tests. And you expect me to trust you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Please. Maybourne is from another division of government. My group is trying to protect you from him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
Well, you're not doing a very good job.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, apparently not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
Do you have a new place for us to go?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well…no.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
Then we have nothing else to say.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, OK…I do know of a perfect place you could go, I just don't know how to get you there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Well, then, why do you speak of it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, I was kind of hoping that maybe you'd have the technology to get there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
This is another trick to gain access to our technology.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, no it isn't. Listen, there was a planet we went to where people were as advanced as you, maybe even more advanced. They were called the Nox.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
If you went there, why can't we?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well…because…they felt about us kind of like you do. They…called us very young, which I suppose is a hair more polite than calling us primitive, but, same idea. Anyway, they sealed their Stargate, and I don't know how to communicate with them to get it open.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
Do you know where this planet is?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, I have the coordinates right here.</blockquote>

[Daniel takes a notebook from his pocket.]

<blockquote>OMOC 
Then we must go back to the mountaintop.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Really? Uh…I can't…I can't…I can't get you out of here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
That's not a problem.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Right. Oh, but I have to go with you.</blockquote>

[Omoc looks around at the other Tollan. While Omoc is thinking, Narim and Daniel appear concerned.]

<blockquote>OMOC 
Give me your hand.</blockquote>

[Omoc raises his hand towards Daniel. Narim turns in surprise.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
Do you wish to come or not?</blockquote>

[Daniel grips Omoc's hand. Omoc touches a device on his arm, which lights up. As he touches it, a shivering sound is heard and Omoc walks through a wall, pulling Daniel with him.]

'''EXT—NIGHTTIME'''

[Omoc and Daniel are walking in the woods. Omoc stops to look up at the star-filled sky.]

<blockquote>OMOC 
The coordinates.</blockquote>

[Daniel takes the notebook out of his pocket and leafs through it. He hands the notebook to Omoc. After studying the coordinates, Omoc removes a device from his upper sleeve and places it on the ground. Daniel sits on the ground as Omoc switches on the device. A beam of light shoots upwards.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Listen, I'm no astronomer, but won't that take thousands of years to reach the Nox world?</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
Why would it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, that's just a laser, right? I mean…light takes a long time to travel that far.</blockquote>

[Omoc looks to the sky, then picks up a branch.]

<blockquote>OMOC 
The distance between these two points… 
Omoc looks to both ends of the branch… 
seems far. Until you do this.</blockquote>

[Omoc bends the branch to join the two ends together.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
OK…OK, I remember this from college physics. One of our scientists, Einstein, explained this the same way. You are talking about actually folding space.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OMOC 
No. You wouldn't understand.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, I guess not. I just hope the Nox do.</blockquote>

[Omoc and Daniel look to the stars.]

'''INT—LAB'''

[Carter appears amazed.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh my God, how did you do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Very carefully.</blockquote>

[Both laugh.]

<blockquote>NARIM 
I have come to say goodbye. We'll be leaving soon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So you think Daniel's plan will work?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Either way, I will be leaving. However, I will go reluctantly.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why?

NARIM 
Because, as of tonight, we will never meet again.</blockquote>

[Carter smiles.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh, come on, you'll forget about me in a heartbeat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
I thought you felt that way.</blockquote>

[Narim removes a device from his sleeve.]

<blockquote>NARIM 
That is why I brought you this.</blockquote>

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

[Narim has handed the device to Carter.]

<blockquote>NARIM 
You have audio and visual recording devices, yes?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
This one records emotions. My feelings for you. I have worn it each time we were together.</blockquote>

[Carter looks at the device.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
How does it work?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
Touch the red triangle…</blockquote>

[Carter touches the triangle, making the device light up.]

<blockquote>NARIM 
(cont'd) 
…and close your eyes.</blockquote>

[Carter closes her eyes. A puzzled look, followed by a smile crosses her face. She appears touched by what she is feeling. She switches off the device, and looks at Narim.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh…I don't know what to say.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NARIM 
(emotional) 
We have a custom…</blockquote>

[Narim steps nearer to Carter.]

<blockquote>NARIM 
(cont'd) 
…that expresses more than words.</blockquote>

[They lean towards each other and kiss.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We have that custom too.</blockquote>

[They kiss again. Daniel runs into the room and stops as he sees Narim and Carter. They stop kissing and turn to Daniel.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oops! Uuhhh…sorry. I got to do some stuff in here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to Carter) 
Actually, I need your help.</blockquote>

[Daniel turns away.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(to Narim) 
You should probably get going. Don't forget Schroedinger.</blockquote>

[Narim smiles and gently touches Carter's cheek and chin as she closes her eyes.]

<blockquote>NARIM 
Thank you.</blockquote>

[Narim walks away. Carter joins Daniel, who is sitting at one of the monitors.]

[Daniel places his hand to his ear, as though straining to hear Maybourne.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He's not in the military, Colonel, and I think it'll be kind of tough to find a civilian law to cover this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
(into the microphone) 
I'll have you removed from this program for ever if you do this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHEVRON GUY 
Chevron seven is locked.</blockquote>

[The Stargate kawooshes.]

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Wherever you send them, we'll hunt them down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We're not sending them anywhere, Sir. The Gate was activated off world. Someone is sending for them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Who?</blockquote>

'''INT—STARGATE ROOM'''

[Daniel, the Tollan and the SFs are looking at the Stargate. Lya walks through. She stands at the head of the ramp and smiles. The Stargate closes.]

<blockquote>LYA 
Hello.</blockquote>

[Daniel makes his way up the ramp.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hello, Lya.</blockquote>

'''INT—CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
All personnel in the Gate room. This is Colonel Maybourne. I have a Presidential order to take the aliens with me. Do not let them pass. Use force if necessary.</blockquote>

'''INT—STARGATE ROOM'''

[The SFs step forward, weapons raised.]

<blockquote>LYA 
(to Daniel) 
Your race has learned nothing. But you have. The Tollans are most welcome to join the Nox. Please come.</blockquote>

[Omoc steps onto the ramp and up to Daniel.]

<blockquote>OMOC 
Narim was right about you. Perhaps in time we'll meet again.</blockquote>

[The Tollan step onto the ramp. Narim, with Scroedinger in his arms, turns to look at Carter.]

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Stop! Take one more step and I'll be forced to have them open fire.</blockquote>

[Lya shakes her head, closes her eyes and raises her arms. The Stargate opens.]

<blockquote>LYA 
Come.</blockquote>

[The Tollan disappear.]

<blockquote>MAYBOURNE 
Fire! Fire!</blockquote>

[The weapons held by the SFs disappear. Lya backs into the Stargate and leaves.]

'''INT—CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
God, I love those people.</blockquote>

'''INT—STARGATE ROOM'''

[Teal'c joins Daniel on the ramp. The Stargate closes.]

'''INT—CONTROL ROOM'''

[Maybourne glares at Hammond/O'Neill and leaves. Hammond, O'Neill and Carter exit.]

'''INT—STARGATE ROOM'''

[Hammond, O'Neill and Carter enter. O'Neill and Carter join Daniel and Teal'c on the ramp.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You did good, Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What of Maybourne?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oohh, he's not a happy camper.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
There'll be hell to pay when he gets back to Washington.</blockquote>

[O'Neill moves to stand next to Daniel.]

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, just thinking what the little guy with funny hair once told us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
The very young do not always do as they're told.</blockquote>

[Daniel turns to O'Neill and smiles.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[The four members of SG-1 stand in a line, looking at the Stargate.]

'''TEASER'''

'''EXT—STARGATE ON P3X-1279'''

[SG-1 comes through the Stargate into a village.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Looks deserted.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
O'Neill. I have been here before.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What? You have?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Yes. This world is called Cartago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What can you tell us about it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The Goa'uld visit here regularly. It is one of their favorites places to harvest hosts for Goa'uld absorption.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You know, I wish you wouldn't say "harvest." We're talking about human beings, not brussel sprouts.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
That is how the Goa'uld perceive it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So the locals aren't used to friendly visitors.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, that would answer why no welcome mat, I suppose, huh?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, this is weird, I mean all the food here is fresh. There's even something cooking on that fire.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
But there's no one around.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, keep your heads up.</blockquote>

'''INT—A MEETING ROOM'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It hasn't been deserted long.</blockquote>

[Male villagers enter room from all sides, holding small crossbow-type weapons.]

<blockquote>HANNO 
Hak-ka!</blockquote>

[SG-1 faces off against locals, each side aiming their weapons at the other.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hold your fire.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They probably think we're Goa'ulds.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel? Think you could find a language that would communicate to these people that we're human like they are, and that we're friendly?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
Why should I believe you? That is a weapon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So is that. Tell you what. I'll go first.</blockquote>

[O'Neill lowers his weapon. Villagers do so also after a silent command by Hanno. Hanno walks up to each member of SG-1 in turn, ending with Teal'c.]

<blockquote>HANNO 
Jaffa!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hold it!</blockquote>

[The villagers surround Teal'c and point their weapons at him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Jaffa yes, but he's good guy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You don't know him. He's peaceful. Tell him you're peaceful, Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is true.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
He lies! I know him.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HANNO 
This Jaffa killed my father.</blockquote>

<blockquote>END TEASER—OPENING CREDITS</blockquote>

'''INT—MEETING ROOM'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal, you ever seen this kid before?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HANNO 
He's a coward. He lies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MILITIA MAN 
Hanno! The mandates.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
He is not Byrsa. The mandates do not apply.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MILITIA MAN 
And what if you are mistaken? I do not recognize this Jaffa.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
He is the one. He killed my father!</blockquote>

<blockquote>MILITIA MAN 
If you are right, he will be put through Cor-ai. But we do not take revenge like this, or we are no better than the Jaffa.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
Cor-ai will sustain my belief.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Cor-ai.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
But first you meet the elders. Come!</blockquote>

[Hanno leads them out of room.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I always wanted to meet the elders.</blockquote>

'''EXT—VILLAGE SQUARE'''

[More villagers begin arriving.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's interesting. I wonder if everyone's coming from some religious event.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What does it always have to be a religious thing with you? Maybe they're coming from a swap meet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
When the gods come through the Circ Kakona, we scatter in many directions to hide from those who would hurt us. They are overdue to visit us again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Circ—that's a Latin derivation. Circova Kakona—that's Greek. That's weird. Two root languages in one culture.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What does it mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Circ Kakona—circle of woes. Their name for the Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't like this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE ELDER 
You may approach.</blockquote>

[SG-1 approaches, O'Neill first.]

<blockquote>FEMALE ELDER 
You are the leader, yes?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>FEMALE ELDER 
You may go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Just like that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Wait—we'd like to say a little while and learn from you. Possibly you can learn from us, I mean, you seem to need help avoiding the Goa'ulds.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE ELDER 
You may go. Now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel? It's important that we respect our elders. Teal'c, dial it up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE ELDER 
Not him.</blockquote>

[Villagers surround Teal'c, holding their weapons on him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Excuse me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
For him there will be Cor-ai.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, let me bottom line it for you, okay? You can't have that man.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
He's not a man. He's Jaffa.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He's already told you he doesn't know who you are.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
You say you don't remember me.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HANNO 
Then maybe you remember this.</blockquote>

[Hanno holds up a worn, crude crutch.]

'''FLASHBACK'''

'''INT—MEETING ROOM'''

[Villagers are screaming.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Do it!</blockquote>

<blockquote>YOUNG HANNO 
Father! Father! No!</blockquote>

[Teal'c shoots a man with his staff weapon. The man was using the crutch. Young Hanno breaks out of group being held back by Jaffa and runs to his father's body.]

<blockquote>YOUNG HANNO 
Father. No.</blockquote>

[Boy looks at Teal'c and cries.]

'''PRESENT TIME—EXT—VILLAGE SQUARE'''

<blockquote>HANNO 
You remember me now, do you not?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Don't say anything, Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
But I must.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's an order. Don't say anything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
He does not need to say anything. Take him in custody.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hold it!</blockquote>

[O'Neill raises his M-16. Daniel puts his hands on O'Neill's gun and hand to stop him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack, that is not the way to handle this.</blockquote>

[Villagers remove Teal'c's jacket and take him away.]

'''INT—ROOM WITH LARGE, CAGE-LIKE JAIL CELL IN CENTER'''

[Villagers put Teal'c into the cell. His hands are tied behind his back.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't suppose we could get him out on bail.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
He is guilty. He must pay for what he has done.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And you've already decided this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey. At least untie his hands. Come on.</blockquote>

[They untie Teal'c's hands.]

<blockquote>HANNO 
Tomorrow we will have the Cor-ai. You are welcome to stay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Gee thanks.</blockquote>

[Hanno and other villagers leave.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, when they come back, Daniel, you draw 'em in. Carter and I will take right and left flanks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ooh, wait a minute. Are you talking break out?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Uh, yeah. We're going to grab Teal'c and head straight for the Stargate. It'd be nice if we could do it without bloodshed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Excuse me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Do not attempt your plan. I will not go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You know that's a really odd sound. I thought you just said you wouldn't go?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
That is correct.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Because to go would disrespect the Byrsa.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Teal'c is right. We should show some respect.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Did anyone else hear that kid say that Teal'c was guilty already? For all we know, they wanna kill him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Wait wait wait, who said anything about killing? I mean all they said was they want to put him through Cor-ai. Now near as I can figure, that is like a simple trial.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Now see, it's that near as I can figure part that's got me a little worried. What if their idea of a simple trial is a simple beheading?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I will not run.</blockquote>

'''EXT—VILLAGE SQUARE'''

'''INT—ROOM WITH JAIL CELL'''

[Three women descend stairs and sit in front of Teal'c's cell.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Excuse me, what are you doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BYRSA WOMAN 
I am the Jaffa's voice for the Cor-ai.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well I think his voice is just fine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I think she means kind of like his defense attorney.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BYRSA WOMAN 
I have been chosen. Uh, I must witness his pecca-ve.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What's a pecca-ve?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
There's a Latin word that's similar. It basically means, I have sinned.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
She wants his confession?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Has it occurred to anyone that he might not be guilty?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BYRSA WOMAN 
If he were not guilty, there would be no Cor-ai.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Innocent until proven guilty. Heard of it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Actually, throughout history the idea's pretty rare. Most cultures usually assume things the other way around. I'm just saying.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BYRSA WOMAN 
I must hear the Jaffa's pecca-ve.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, you're outta luck, 'cause you're not going to get him to pecca-anything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BYRSA WOMAN 
Then who will be his voice?

O'NEILL 
That would be me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh, you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BYRSA WOMAN 
You will be his voice for the Cor-ai?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>BYRSA WOMAN 
As you wish. I will tell the elders.</blockquote>

[The three women leave.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You sure you're up to this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why? You don't think I am?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, it's—it's just that I've never actually heard you referred to as a diplomat. I think, um, antagonist was the word used.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
But I'm his commanding officer. It comes with the territory.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wouldn't Daniel be better at it, I mean, being a linguist and a cultural expert? Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, we'll all do it. How's that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's fine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Co, co-counsels. Works for me.</blockquote>

'''INT—MEETING ROOM FROM FIRST SCENE—NOW USED AS A COURTROOM'''

[Villagers watch from an observation area. Teal'c enters a witness circle. Female Elder enters and takes her place. Hanno kneels before Teal'c.]

<blockquote>HANNO 
I am sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You are sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
When I first saw you, I let my anger control me, and I threatened your life. This is counter to Byrsa mandates, and by doing it I shamed myself and my whole clan. I ask your forgiveness.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You have it.</blockquote>

[Crowd murmurs disbelief.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
This is startin' off better than I thought it would.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
Jaffa, you killed my father. For this crime the punishment is death. I will now lead the Cor-ai.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Objection! That's something we say back on earth when…never mind. You can't be the judge; that's not fair.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
Judge?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, the guy who controls the proceedings, decides what happens here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
Why is it not fair?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Because you're the son of the victim.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, the judge has to be impartial.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
What does that mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, impartiality would require someone who hasn't already formed an opinion about Teal'c's guilt or innocence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
How could there be such a person? Anyone who has a mind has an opinion.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Your honors, I respectfully request that someone else be in control of this…what is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Cor-ai.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Cor-ai.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE ELDER 
Only the person who has suffered understands the pain which has been inflicted. Who else can fairly say what the punishment must be?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, you could for one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE ELDER 
Hanno will continue.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's actually rather Talmudic—only he who is wronged can forgive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Will you can it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
You remember me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
Then you are the one who killed my father, are you not?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Don't answer that, Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Yes. I am the one who killed your father.</blockquote>

[Bells ring indicating the proceedings are over for the moment.]

'''EXT—VILLAGE SQUARE'''

'''INT—COURTROOM'''

[Room is now empty except for O'Neill, Teal'c, and some guards.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c are you trying to commit suicide?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why didn't you tell me you were guilty. At least before you told a room full of people that wanna see you dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You already knew, only you did not want to hear it. That is why you asked me not to speak.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Apophis ordered me to kill Hanno's father.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, can you guys guard from outside? We're not goin' anywhere.</blockquote>

[Guards leave.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So, you were following orders.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Hanno's father died by my hand. No one else's. I am responsible. What I did while serving Apophis, I will not hide from.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Even if the punishment is death?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Then that is what I deserve.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, you sound like you wanna die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Colonel O'Neill, have you ever faced the crying eyes of a child whose father you have just murdered?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not exactly. Teal'c, there are a lot things we do that we wish we could change and we sure as hell can't forget, but the whole concept of chain of command undermines the idea of free will. So as soldiers, we have to do some pretty awful stuff. But we're following orders like we were trained to. It doesn't make it easier; it certainly doesn't make it right, but it does put some of the responsibility on the guy giving those orders.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Then you are saying Apophis is responsible for Hanno's father's death.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You are wrong, O'Neill. While in the service of Apophis I did many things. For these deeds, my victims deserve retribution.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Can we focus on this one case only for now please?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This case represents the many.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well is shouldn't! Why? Why are you doin' this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
When I look into Hanno's eyes, I see the horror on the faces of many others, as their loved ones prepare for Goa'uld absorption. Worse yet is the face of the victims whom I selected as they realize they are about to take their final human breath. Hanno's father is not the first nor the last of those whose lives I've taken. And I have done far worse, O'Neill. I cannot give all of their loved ones retribution, but I can at least give it to this one. I am sorry, O'Neill. I will not run.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, I'm sorry, Teal'c, but that's unacceptable. I'm going to to do what I have to do to keep you alive whether you like it or not.</blockquote>

[Bells ring, and villagers reconvene in the courtroom. Daniel and Carter enter.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's the plan of attack?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, the way I look at it, Teal'c has already pled guilty. So to draw a parallel to an American trial, we have to look at this as sort of like the sentencing phase. We need to prove to these people that he doesn't deserve to die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How do we do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We need to convince them that he's a different man now than he was then.</blockquote>

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

[Female Elder enters. Daniel becomes the witness.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Tell us what happened to your wife.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Her name is Sha're. She was captured by Apophis' serpent guards, and changed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
She's now a Goa'uld?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Inhabited by one, yes.</blockquote>

[Crowd murmurs from gallery.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And how did she get to be one of the victims?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The leader of the serpent guards picked her out of a crowd of other women, at random, really.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Who was this serpent guard?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Teal'c.</blockquote>

[More murmurs from crowd.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The old Teal'c. At that time, he hadn't joined us yet. He didn't know me or that Sha're was my wife.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
But the fact is you now work side by side with the man responsible for your wife's fate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It was difficult for me at first, I wanted to hate him. But now I know that it was a different Teal'c that chose Sha'uri and I know that if there were any way for him to help me get my wife back, this Teal'c would do it gladly. Even if it meant giving up his own life. This Teal'c is my friend.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
There were fifty human captives. All were unarmed. Apophis ordered me to slaughter them all.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
But you didn't, did you?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
What did you do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I turned my weapon on my fellow serpent guards.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It was a huge risk for you, wasn't it, Teal'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I made a decision.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I think you're being a little modest here. You have a family. Do you think you'll ever see them again?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is unlikely.</blockquote>

'''EXT—VILLAGE'''

[Daniel is walking in the village. The Byrsa Woman approaches him.]

<blockquote>BYRSA WOMAN 
Have you lost your way?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, no, I'm—I'm just looking around, if that's okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BYRSA WOMAN 
You are welcome to do so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You have a very lovely existence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BYRSA WOMAN 
Thank you. It would be made lovelier were it not for the Goa'ulds, and the Jaffa.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The one thing I—I can't seem to figure out is, is, where you live.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BYRSA WOMAN 
We live here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, no no, where do you, where do you sleep at night? Where do you take shelter? Where do you sleep?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BYRSA WOMAN 
We sleep in the hiding.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The hiding.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BYRSA WOMAN 
We have hidden caves and tunnels in all directions. When the evil ones come in through the Circ-Kakona, we flee in all directions and we disappear.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So they catch only the slowest among you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BYRSA WOMAN 
Oh, no, we would never leave anyone behind. We all go, or none of us do.</blockquote>

'''INT—ROOM WITH JAIL CELL'''

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I think I might have something that might help us out. Teal'c, tell us exactly what happened that day.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Apophis ordered me to kill one of the villagers so the rest would obey.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay, well I think we've all heard the reader's digest version of the story, but there's more to it, isn't there. Like why you chose Hanno's father.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We brought those we had captured back to the hall. Apophis ordered the selection process to begin.</blockquote>

'''FLASHBACK'''

'''INT—MEETING ROOM'''

[The villagers are struggling against the Jaffa.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Teal'c. Kill one of them.</blockquote>

[The villagers try to fight the Jaffa guards.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
I said kill one of them. If you hesitate I will kill them all.</blockquote>

[Hanno's father holds his hand out to Teal'c, as if asking to be killed.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Do it.</blockquote>

[Teal'c lowers his visor and points staff at Hanno's father.]

<blockquote>YOUNG HANNO 
Father! No!</blockquote>

[Teal'c shoots Hanno's father with his staff weapon. Hanno runs to father's body.]

<blockquote>YOUNG HANNO 
Father! No! No! Father! No.</blockquote>

'''PRESENT TIME'''

'''INT—ROOM WITH JAIL CELL'''

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Apophis chose seven women, and let the rest go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The truth is our defense.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I think I see where you're going with this, Daniel. This is good. This could make the difference in the Cor-ai.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's a kangaroo court. Nothing's going to make a difference. Isn't that painfully obvious to anybody? That kid made up his mind before we even got here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So what do you suggest?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter and I are going back to Earth for reinforcements.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What, you're going to shoot his way out?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, Daniel. I'm hoping we can bring back enough fire power so it'll scare 'em into turning Teal'c over. That's how I'd like to see it go down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I have already told you, O'Neill. I will not run.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, you're going back with us if I have to knock you out and carry you myself. Got it? Buy as much time as you can, Daniel.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[Carter and O'Neill arrive through the Stargate.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Where are Teal'c and Daniel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We'll explain, sir. First, I need you to mobilize a combat unit ready to go back to that planet ASAP.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Do it. No how about filling me in?</blockquote>

'''INT—COURTROOM'''

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So, by killing that man, you actually saved the lives of the rest of the villagers. You even saved Hanno's life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is true.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
But can you really be sure Apophis would have really killed the rest of the villagers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I have seen him do it many times.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So although you were faced with a terrible decision, you chose the lesser of two evils.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
He chose to kill a crippled man. The man least able to run away, the most helpless of us all. His choice was not moral. It was cowardly and evil.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hanno, I'm told the Byrsa's only defense against the Goa'ulds is their ability to run and hide. Is that right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
We have escape tunnels and caves. When the lights on the Circ-Kakona appear, we can disappear before the Goa'uld arrive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
But, you have to move fast, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
Of course.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Teal'c, did you know that back then.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I did. It was often very difficult to locate the villagers. They seemed to be able to vanish into the forest, as quickly as a flock of birds.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How fast could your father move, with only one leg?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
It was not important. As a member of the clan, he would never be left behind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So in other words, your group can only move as fast as its slowest member? Right? Teal'c, why did you choose Hanno's father?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I saw his injury. I knew that without him the group could move more quickly. Perhaps even evade us the next time we came.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
No, I will not hear this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So you made a decision. You chose to kill one that day to save many later. Is that right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is correct.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So if Teal'c hadn't made that decision, many of you might not be alive today to want him dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
I do not understand the relevance of any of this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I am trying to prove to you that Teal'c is a good man. He is very important to all of us in fighting the Goa'ulds and the Jaffa. Therefore I ask that you spare his life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
You have defended this Jaffa repeatedly by saying he is a changed man. And for proof you have given many examples of his firing upon his former comrades.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
Than why did he not fire upon them here instead of killing my father.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Because it wouldn't have done any good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
My father might be alive today.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, not necessarily. Even if Teal'c had succeeded that day, the Goa'uld would have sent more Jaffa to exterminate everyone—your entire population.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
How do you know that? They did not do that to your people.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They tried. We have defenses that you don't. Teal'c may have killed Hanno's father, but in doing so he saved you, and you, and—and all of you. Teal'c's death will not change the past, but his continued life can help all of our future. Can you really justify killing him now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE ELDER 
His fate is not to be decided by us. Cor-ai mandates that only Hanno can make that decision.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
Your argument is wise, and moving. I commend you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
You have made a compelling argument that this Jaffa's more recent and continuing good should somehow negate his past evil. I have but one final question. Can his recent actions, or any future actions, return my father from the dead?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, no, of course not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
Then clearly no amount of good in the present can erase what he has done in the past. Jaffa, you are guilty of killing my father. Tomorrow, at mid-day, you will die by your own weapon. As my father did.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONFERENCE ROOM'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm confused, Captain. Are these people hostiles?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well sir, that would depend on your definition of hostiles.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They have Teal'c prisoner. They plan to execute him. I'd call that hostile.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
But it sounds to me as if they've treated the rest of you with the utmost respect. Now you want to launch an assault on them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, sir. I'm hoping once they see our superior numbers and firepower, they'll release him without incident.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel, the United States is not in the business of interfering in other people's affairs.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Since when, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Since this administration was elected.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, I don't think the president would have a problem with us going in and trying to rescue one of our own.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Teal'c is not one of our own.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
He's not?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I mean in the eyes of the government. He's not an American citizen. Hell, he's not even an Earth citizen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't believe I'm hearing this from you, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
General Hammond, sir, if I may. Even setting aside that Teal'c is our friend, how can you let such a valuable information resource be taken away?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
These people's laws in this regard are no different from our own. We don't stop pursuing war criminals because they have a change of heart.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
War criminals.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Yes, Colonel, he is. Like it or not, what the Jaffa have done to these people and thousands of other people is a crime. Now Teal'c spent many years serving the Goa'uld doing some damned distasteful things. Surely both of you must realize that this was bound to happen sooner or later.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General Hammond, I have spent a lot of years in the service of my country, and I have been ordered to do some damned distasteful things. I will not allow them to execute my friend.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, Teal'c has proven his loyalty to us countless times. Don't you think we should do the same?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
My own personal opinion says yes. But the government policies under which I must weigh my decisions, say no.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well fine, let's call the president!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That's enough, Colonel!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
General, sir, we don't have a lot of time here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Right.</blockquote>

'''INT—ROOM WITH JAIL CELL'''

[Women are applying paint in curved lines to Teal'c's torso and face. Daniel arrives.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What are they doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Preparing me for my death.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I would like to ask one final favor.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I would like to volunteer my lifeless body, and that of my symbiote, for your scientists to study. Perhaps you can better learn ways to battle the Goa'uld and the Jaffa.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, don't worry, Teal'c, there's not going to be any body to donate. Jack and Carter should be back any minute with the troops.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Daniel Jackson. You must not allow Colonel O'Neill to deny the retribution the Byrsa deserve.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You know I have to admit, Teal'c, for once I agree with Jack. I mean, I respect your wishes, but I don't believe that you deserve to die.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONFERENCE ROOM'''

[Hammond enters room.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm sorry, Colonel, the president won't authorize a rescue.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't believe it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I agree with the president's decision. We can't commit troops to risk their lives in an action that I believe is morally ambiguous.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's where I respectfully disagree, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You have the right to disagree, Colonel, but you do not have the right to take actions against orders, is that understood?</blockquote>

'''EXT—VILLAGE'''

[Village is in flames and disarray. O'Neill and Carter arrive through Stargate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Things look a little different to you?</blockquote>

[Jaffa guards are herding villagers through village. O'Neill and Carter hide behind pillars, then head downstairs.]

'''INT—ROOM WITH JAIL CELL'''

[Cell is now empty.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Byrsa must have taken him with them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Let's hope it was the Byrsa.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Maybe Daniel broke him out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Keep those positive thoughts comin', Captain. Let's go.</blockquote>

'''EXT—NEXT TO A BUILDING'''

[Jaffa are lining villagers up against a wall. They see Carter's shadow. Jaffa fire at Carter and O'Neill. O'Neill trips one, stabs him; Carter retrieves staff weapon and gives it to O'Neill.]

'''INT—SIDE AREA OF COURTROOM'''

[Villagers are gathered in a room with Teal'c and Daniel.]

<blockquote>HANNO 
Now O'Neill has proved to me not only where his loyalties lie but yours as well.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If you believe that it was O'Neill that informed the Goa'uld, you are mistaken.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
Then how is it that they know our escape routes?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
We are trapped. Cut off from the hidings.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
But Jack went back to Earth. The Goa'uld are not stupid. They probably figured it out on their own.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
The children and the slowest will hide here. The rest of us will try to draw them away into the forest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Wait. Now let Teal'c go. We can help you but he is no good to you like this. Now I give you my word he will not try to run away.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
No he will not. You will stay here.</blockquote>

[Hanno bends to speak to a child.]

<blockquote>HANNO 
If I do not survive, I entrust you to tell whoever does that I still wish my sentence to be carried out.</blockquote>

'''EXT VILLAGE, NEAR DHD'''

[Villagers are running through, Jaffa firing on them. Hanno sees O'Neill.]

'''INT—SIDE AREA OF COURTROOM'''

[Jaffa storm in to find hiding villagers, Teal'c and Daniel.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Try not the let them see your face in case—</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHAK'L 
Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Shak'l.</blockquote>

[Boy gives Teal'c a knife.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(to Daniel) 
Go.</blockquote>

[Daniel is led away by a Jaffa.]

<blockquote>SHAK'L 
Your death will assure my place as first prime.</blockquote>

[Teal'c stabs Shak'l.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am sorry.</blockquote>

'''INT—COURTROOM'''

[Teal'c fires on Jaffa. He leaps to stop a Jaffa from firing on group of villagers, gets hit in leg with staff blast but takes out a Jaffa. Jaffa aims staff at Teal'c. O'Neill and Carter arrive.]

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

[O'Neill fires on Jaffa who is threatening Teal'c. Daniel kneels to check Teal'c's wound.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, looks bad. Let's get him home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
No.</blockquote>

[Teal'c stands up with rest of SG-1's help, gives his staff to Hanno.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is midday. I am prepared to accept my punishment.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
You would save those who wish to kill you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I would save those who deserve to live.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
I have made a mistake. My memory was faulty. You are not the same man as he who murdered my father.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am the one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
No. That Jaffa is dead. You have killed him. We have our own wounded to care for. I suggest you take your friend home.</blockquote>

[Teal'c takes staff from Hanno, bows his head to him and steps away.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We can help you defend yourselves.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANNO 
We would appreciate that.</blockquote>

[SG-1 is alone in the courtroom. O'Neill puts his hand on Teal'c's shoulder.]

'''TEASER'''

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[SG-1 enters, wearing mission gear.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So, what exactly are we going to see after this eclipse begins? I mean, it is black, and it is a hole…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, it might be a black hole.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Hesitates) 
Okay. Let me put that a different way</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Interrupts, laughing) 
No Daniel, you're right. You can't exactly see it, not the singularity itself. It's so massive, not even light can escape it. But, during the totality phase of the eclipse, you should be able to see matter spiraling towards it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Actually, it's called the accretion disk.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, I guess it's easy enough to understand why the local population would be afraid of something like thi… 
(does a double take and looks at O'Neill) 
What did you just say?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Offhand) 
It's just an astronomical term.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You didn't think the Colonel had a telescope on his roof just to look at the neighbors, did you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(draws in a breath and looks thoughtful) 
Not initially.</blockquote>

[SG-1 goes through Stargate.]

'''EXT—HARKA'''

[We see green fields with windmills in the background. A dirt road leads to a sign reading: 
 
Welcome to Harka 
Project 169 
Douglas McLean 
Memorial Observatory 
SG7 
Planet PX8 987 
John Smith 
Commanding 
 
SG-1 walk down the dirt road.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Someone from SG-7 should have been here to greet us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They should be prepping the telescope for the big show.</blockquote>

[As they walk, the team members spot a basket, then a body lying face-down at the side of the road. They rush to the body. O'NEILL turns it over, revealing an obviously dead man with sores on his exposed skin. They all draw back in reaction.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, God. All right, MOPP 4.</blockquote>

[SG-1's human members pull on hoods with air filters. O'NEILL breaks a sealed packet and scrubs his hands with an orange disinfectant towel.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, you and Teal'c check the village. See why no one's missed this guy. Where everyone else is. We've got the observatory. 
All right, move out!</blockquote>

[O'NEILL and CARTER head down the road to the observatory, DANIEL and TEAL'C cut through the fields to village.]

'''INT—OBSERVATORY ON HARKA'''

[A large telescope fills the first room of the temporary structure. Machinery and computers line the walls. O'NEILL and CARTER walk in, O'NEILL using a flashlight to see.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Where is everyone?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL and CARTER walk through a doorway into the barracks. The bodies of SG-7 are lying in various positions in the bunks and on the floor. The exposed skin of all of the men is covered with sores.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Found 'em.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
My God.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(distant, yelling) 
Jack! JACK!</blockquote>

[DANIEL runs into the room, with TEAL'C at his heels.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They're all dead. Everyone.</blockquote>

'''END TEASER—OPENING CREDITS'''

'''INT—BARRACKS ON HARKA'''

[A glass decontamination chamber has been set up between the outside and the inside. SG-1 stand inside the chamber. A blast of steam or chemical solution washes over them. Inside, DR. FRAISER and two aides wait for SG-1 to finish their decontamination and enter.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
This complex has been totally decontaminated. How many dead?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We estimate about a thousand.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Why didn't they send a message, some warning this was happening?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We don't know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Looks like all this happened very quickly.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Now, there may still be survivors out there. Shouldn't we be looking for them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
No. Not until I examine you. We'll use the barracks room. Colonel, you said that you touched one of the victims before putting on gloves?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, but I washed my hands right away.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
No. You're first.</blockquote>

[DANIEL sneezes. Everyone stops, and turns to look at him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Allergies, right? 
(to Fraiser) 
Right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Right.</blockquote>

'''EXT—HARKA'''

[SG-1 walk down a dirt road, O'NEILL, DANIEL and CARTER clad in yellow biohazard suits and TEAL'C in his regular uniform.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We're supposed to tag the bodies we find with these.</blockquote>

[CARTER and O'NEILL hand out tags.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They knew this would happen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The indigenous people?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They told me when we came here three months ago that with the darkness would come the apocalypse. It was part of their mythology. But what do we tell them? That it's just an eclipse, and there's nothing to worry about.</blockquote>

[Several bodies lay on the edge of a field and in the road. O'NEILL, DANIEL and TEAL'C start to tag the bodies. CARTER clips one tag on the body of a teenage boy. From the thick underbrush, a small hand reaches out and pulls off the tag, then runs away. The small figure can barely be seen moving through the brush, but CARTER spots it.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hello? Hello, it's okay. You can come out. Look, I know I must look pretty scary in the mask, but I'm not going to hurt you. It's okay. 
(She turns to O'Neill) 
Colonel, there's someone in the bushes and they won't come out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Teal'c) 
Show 'em your face. 
(He makes a face at Teal's frown.) 
Try to look friendly.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C walks into the field. He spots CASSANDRA hiding in the trees.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We will not hurt you. Please come out. 
(He holds out his hand) 
Take my hand.</blockquote>

[CASSANDRA hesitantly reaches out and takes his hand. TEAL'C smiles, a nice, gentle smile.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is okay.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C leads CASSANDRA back to the other members of SG-1. They share concerned glances.]

'''INT—HARKA—OBSERVATORY BARRACKS'''

[CASSANDRA sits on an examination table, her face blank. DR FRAISER and CARTER are examining her. Both wear cloth masks over their mouths and noses.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's okay. Don't worry, everything's going to be fine. Can you hear me? 
You're very brave. 
(to Janet) 
Can I take this mask off?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
(nods) 
I think that'll be okay. Looks like we're dealing with a bacteria infection. Just don't get too close.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Pulls off mask and smiles) 
There, that's better, huh? You feel like telling me your name now? 
(She gets a blank star from Cassandra, who then deliberately looks away.) 
That's okay. You remember my name? Samantha Carter. But you can call me Sam.</blockquote>

[CASSANDRA hooks the tag she took off the dead boy on her hospital gown.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh no, no honey. You're not going to die. Why don't you just lay down and rest for awhile, okay? Okay.</blockquote>

[CASSANDRA obediently lies down, tightly clutching the tag. CARTER reaches out and tries to pull it out of her hand. CASSANDRA pulls back, refusing to let it go. CARTER sighs and gives up, patting the girl on the head.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
(from across the room) 
This can't be.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(walking over to her) 
She's infected, isn't she?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
No, she's not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, what's wrong with her?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Three are traces of the element the Stargate is made of in her blood.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Naquada?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Yes. Now, it's possible that's the reason she was able to resist the infection. 
(to technician, who gives her a folder) 
Thank you. Here, take a look. 
(Hands folder to Carter)</blockquote>

[CARTER and FRAISER walk down the hall to the larger room. DANIEL, O'NEILL and TEAL'C are waiting.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Well, I have some bad news. The samples my team collected show the entire area to be contaminated. It's in the water and the ground. Now, the bacteria doesn't seem to be airborne, but it has the unique ability to survive in a variety of environments.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Listen, um…I hate to sound self-centered here, but…</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Your tests are fine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What of the girl?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
No sign of infection, and as a precaution I did an ultrasound to make sure she wasn't parasitically infested with a Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So, she goes back with us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Doctor, would it be safe for someone to stay a little while longer? I mean, we're safe right now, right?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, the eclipse happens in less than one day. This is our only opportunity to use this window of darkness to photograph the black hole with this telescope. It could change the course of human history. I don't want to belittle what's happened here, but if we just pack up and leave, SG-7 and all these people will have died for nothing.</blockquote>

[CASSANDRA walks in and grabs CARTER'S arm, hiding behind her to peek out at the male members of SG-1.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, you won't be staying.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I will remain. I am not at risk.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, I'll stay too.</blockquote>

'''EXT—HARKA STARGATE'''

[Several technicians lead the way through the open wormhole. CARTER and DANIEL approach, with CASSANDRA between them, holding their hands. All are wearing biohazard suits.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Bends down to look Cassandra in the eye.) 
Hey, you okay? Don't be afraid, I'll be holding your hand the whole way, all right? I know it looks kinda scary, but it's really a lot of fun. 
(She stands back up.) 
On three. One, two, three.</blockquote>

[CARTER, CASSANDRA and DANIEL jump into the wormhole.]

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[A small decontamination unit stands at the Gate, across the room a glassed chamber is between the Gate room and the rest of the Stargate complex.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
(over intercom) 
Level one decontamination complete. Proceed with level two.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Removing Cassandra's helmet) 
Hey, it's okay, okay. It wasn't so bad, was it?</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC—'''

[Small, bare room. Concrete walls, one bed with gray cover, empty bookcase, gray chair. Depressing. CARTER and CASSANDRA enter.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, here we are. This is where you're going to stay for a little while, okay? I know it's nothing fancy, but we'll fix it up.</blockquote>

[CASSANDRA looks around room, her expression dismayed. CARTER leads her to the bed. CASSANDRA sits down on the edge, CARTER crouches in front of her.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I have to go somewhere for a little while. But I promise you I won't be gone long, okay?</blockquote>

[CASSANDRA grabs CARTER'S shirt and clenches it tightly in her hand.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, I…I have to go. But I'll be able to see you the whole time through that camera up there, see?</blockquote>

[CARTER points to the camera, then to her eyes. CASSANDRA just looks at her, refusing to relinquish her hold. CARTER gives up.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
All right. I'll stay for a little while.</blockquote>

[CARTER sits on the bed beside CASSANDRA. CASSANDRA clutches CARTER'S leg and skootches closer. CARTER looks uncomfortable, then puts one arm around the girl's shoulder.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[A monitor shows CARTER with CASSANDRA in her little cell. The room is now decorated with posters and pictures tacked to the wall. A small table and chairs have been added, with flowers on the table. An easel stands in the corner, and the bed is covered with a pink comforter decorated with bears. CASSANDRA is seated at the table, drawing.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(looks up from monitor) 
She seems to have bonded with Captain Carter</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I can't blame her for being terrified. Believe me, it was not pretty over there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What happened?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
We counted 1,432 dead. I believe we may be indirectly responsible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It's possible someone from Earth brought a normally harmless bacteria to that planet. It learned some new traits from a local organism and mutated into the most deadly infectious strain I've ever encountered.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Are you absolutely positive you haven't brought any of this disease back here with you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Yes, sir. In fact, I think we may have brought back the cure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Doctor?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Sir, somehow this little girl survived against all odds on a completely contaminated planet. Now, I'm hoping she has some sort of natural immunity that we might use in fighting other serious infections already here on Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Why didn't the telescope team report that this outbreak was going on?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We don't know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL, HAMMOND and FRAISER all look at monitor, which fades to…</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC—CASSANDRA'S ROOM'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
Don't you want this? 
(Gestures to a plate of hot dogs in buns.) 
See, we usually put some stuff on it, like this. 
(She puts on mustard and takes a big bite.) 
See? Mmmm.</blockquote>

[CASSANDRA looks away, taking a furtive bite from a small plain hot dog hidden in her hand. She returns to her drawing. It's a picture of figures lying on the ground. A smaller figure with a dress and dark hair stands over them, tears dripping down her face. CARTER looks at the drawing, then picks up a paintbrush and draws a larger stick figure beside the solitary standing girl.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's me, okay? You're not alone anymore</blockquote>

[CASSANDRA looks up at her solemnly.]

'''INT—HARKA OBSERVATORY'''

[O'NEILL is sitting on the telescope ladder, TEAL'C is in an office chair. Both appear bored.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
This is fun. 
(He looks at his watch) 
Only eight hours to go. Sweet</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I still do not understand this black hole</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, a black hole is..is really big, thing. It's uh…But basically it's a massive hole. Out there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I see.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah, and…what happens is, everything gets sucked into it, even light. That's why we can't see it. It just gets…sucked in.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Thank you.</blockquote>

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

'''INT—SGC CASSANDRA'S ROOM'''

[CARTER is sitting on the bed, CASSANDRA lying asleep, across her lap. She is stroking the girl's hair. DANIEL walks in. He looks at CARTER and mimes a phone call. She nods, and looks down at CASSANDRA as she wakens.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hey. How you feeling? 
(Cassandra blinks sleepily.) 
Listen, I have to go somewhere for a little while. But you're not going to be alone. 
(She looks towards Daniel.) 
Daniel's going to be here the whole time. Remember Daniel?</blockquote>

[DANIEL smiles. CASSANDRA looks sad.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
You're very brave, remember. I'll be back before you know it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
Please don't go.</blockquote>

[CARTER and DANIEL both look surprised as they look down at CASSANDRA.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
You feel like telling me your name?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
Cassandra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Smiles) 
Hi, Cassandra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
(Looking exhausted) 
I hurt.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Anxiously) 
Where?</blockquote>

[CASSANDRA taps her chest.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[CASSANDRA is on examination table.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Sounds good. No fluid in her lungs.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
She described it more like a sharp, stabbing pain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
(Walks across the room to computer, Carter following.) 
I have no idea of what to say or do. Her latest blood work shows a marked potassium deficiency. I have no idea what is causing it or how it got so low, so quickly, but one of the effects can be arrhythmia.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You're sure she doesn't have the disease?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Uh-hm. Positive. These are not the symptoms of a bacterial infection.</blockquote>

[CASSANDRA looks over at them.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, thank you. 
(She crosses back over to Cassandra and lifts her off the table.) 
All right, let's go back to our room</blockquote>

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
(to Fraiser) 
Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
You are welcome.</blockquote>

[As they cross the room, CASSANDRA stops short, a look of pain crossing her face. She crosses her arms over her chest.]

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

[CASSANDRA'S eyes go wide, then she collapses backwards. CARTER scoops her up.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Get her on the table!</blockquote>

[CARTER puts her on the table. FRAISER feels her neck for a pulse.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh my God. What is it? What's happening?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
She's got an irregular heartbeat. She's in arrest. 
(Runs to intercom and yells.) 
Code Blue to lab. Code blue!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What? What do I do?</blockquote>

[FRAISER starts CPR. A team of medical personnel run in and starts working.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
We've got a cardiac arrest, potassium deficiency. Get me a number seven-cuff intubation tracheal tube now.</blockquote>

[The technicians do their medical stuff. CARTER pulls back to give them room. The monitor registers no heartbeat as they insert a tube and continue with chest compressions.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Defib. Stop CPR. Defib. Sixty joules. Come on, come on. Clear!</blockquote>

[The nurse tries the paddles to get CASSANDRA'S heart going. Her heartbeat starts.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Let me in, let me in.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
Check the monitor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I want you to notify the ICU. I want her potassium level rechecked, stat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
Get on it. Get down to the lab.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Wait. Wait…wait….wait…wait. Oh my God.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Get me a chest x-ray, stat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I don't know. Listen.</blockquote>

[FRAISER hands her stethoscope to CARTER. CARTER puts it on and listens. Underneath the sound of CASSANDRA'S heartbeat, there's a shushing sort of mechanical sound. CARTER and FRAISER exchange worried glances.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[FRAISER puts up and X-ray of CASSANDRA'S chest. There's some kind of small round object embedded in her heart, with tendrils branching out. HAMMOND, DANIEL, CARTER and FRAISER all stand there, looking at it.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh my God.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I don't know, but it wasn't there ten hours ago.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY OPERATING ROOM'''

[CASSANDRA is on the table, surrounded by medical personnel. They are obviously about to attempt to remove the object.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
I'm inserting the scope. Image up.</blockquote>

[An image of CASSANDRA'S heart is projected on the monitor.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Pulse normal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
I'd advancing the scope.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Pulse is rising.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
Adjusting view.</blockquote>

[The monitor shows a round object in CASSANDRA'S heart.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Well, parts of it are definitely organic.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
I'm going to move in closer and try to get a biopsy.</blockquote>

[CASSANDRA'S heartbeat speeds up.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Pulse is now 140.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
I'm scraping the heart surface for samples.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
We have to stop.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
Just a little more.</blockquote>

[CASSANDRA'S heartbeat speeds up more, then flatlines.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
(pulling back with alarm) 
Removing scope. Prepare the paddles! 
Charging. Clear!</blockquote>

[The medical staff charge the paddles, but just as they are about to use them, CASSANDRA'S heartbeat returns to normal.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Wait, wait. Pulse is normal</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC'''

[HAMMOND and FRAISER move through corridors.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Whatever this object is, it has the ability to stop her heart in an instant.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Can you remove it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
No. It doesn't look like it. Not without killing her. Now, Dr. Warner managed to get us some samples. I'm hoping the results of the analysis will tell us more about what this object is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Thank you Doctor.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CASSANDRA'S ROOM'''

[CASSANDRA is in bed, sleeping. CARTER is sitting beside her.]

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
(waking up) 
Mom?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hey. You okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
I was dreaming about my mom.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You miss your mom very much?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
(looks away.) 
I'm tired.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, you should get some rest. Don't worry, everything's going to be just fine. And when you get better, I promise you I am going to show you all kinds of really wonderful things about this planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
Promise?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You bet.</blockquote>

[CASSANDRA reaches up and hugs her. CARTER looks sad.]

'''INT—SGC HALLWAY OUTSIDE CASSANDRA'S ROOM'''

[DANIEL is sitting in a chair, obviously waiting, as CARTER exits the room.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How is she?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
She's fine. Sleeping.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Um. Um, if you want…I can sit with her tomorrow. For a few hours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, I'm okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I just…I want to do this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay. But I guess what I'm saying is that you don't have to do this alone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Thanks. 
(She rubs Daniel's arm before walking away.)</blockquote>

'''INT—OBSERVATORY ON HARKA'''

[The singularity is starting.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's showtime! 
(Jack climbs to telescope.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The systems are online. The eclipse has reached its totality.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Awed) 
Whoa.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY LAB'''

[CARTER and DANIEL are looking at new X-ray.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
The layer of fatty tissue between the two sides of the object is decaying. Very slowly, mind you, but still…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What's the significance?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm about to do an experiment to find out. One side of the object is made up of a combination of iron and potassium; the other side is made up of the element that makes up the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Uh-hm. I'm assuming it's the Naquada that was in her blood. Somehow the object is collecting it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Now, potassium can be one of the most volatile alkaline metals on Earth. Combined with even a small concentration of Naquada, and…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That doesn't sound very good.</blockquote>

[The monitor shows two robot arms in small room.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
The room you're looking at is in the sub-basement floor of the complex. It's lead sealed. Let's see what happens when we put the two objects together.</blockquote>

[CARTER types some commands into computer.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Where are the samples?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm only using a microscopic particle of each.</blockquote>

[The two robot arms move closer together and…**BOOM** The monitor screen shows grey snow.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
The reading's off the scale. Gamma and particle radiation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Are we safe?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, but we have a big problem.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, if two microscopic particles can cause that…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Then the object inside Cassandra could cause a nuclear reaction a million times bigger.</blockquote>

[All three look worried.]

'''INT—OBSERVATORY ON HARKA'''

[O'NEILL is looking through the telescope when he notices a pulsing light approaching.]

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
A star, perhaps.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hit the zoom.</blockquote>

[The screen becomes a blur.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, it's way too close to be a star. Pull back.</blockquote>

[The object is revealed to be some kind of spaceship.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What the hell is that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is a Goa'uld attack vessel.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL looks quickly at TEAL'C.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[HAMMOND, DANIEL, CARTER, FRAISER and four officers in dress uniforms sit around the briefing table.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's a setup. It has to be. The Goa'ulds wiped out every last living person on that planet except Cassandra, and then they made us think that it was our fault; because they knew that we wouldn't leave her there. They knew that we would bring her back here. And they used their technology to put that thing inside of her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's like they designed a way for us to help them create the device after she came through the Stargate. So we wouldn't detect it until it was too late.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
We gave her iron supplements. We may even have turned the device on with a jolt of electricity when we resuscitated her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You're saying it's meant to destroy us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
At least this complex; a threat to the Goa'uld. The Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They used that little girl like a Trojan Horse.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How long do we have?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
One hour and fifty-two minutes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You can predict it that accurately?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
The cellular decay of the tissue Dr. Warner sampled appears to be happening like clockwork.</blockquote>

[Everyone turns to look at HAMMOND, who looks grim.]

'''INT—SGC CASSANDRA'S ROOM'''

[CASSANDRA tosses and turns in bed. CARTER is watching at the door. DANIEL enters behind her. CASSANDRA coughs in her sleep. Both adults watch her.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
How could they do this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, to the Goa'uld, she's not as we see her. She's a tool. Her death is a very cheap way to get rid of us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(with tears in her eyes.) 
I know I'm supposed to be detached.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Looks at her with concern.) 
Who said that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sometimes I forget you're not military.</blockquote>

'''INT—OBSERVATORY ON HARKA'''

[The monitor shows the approaching ship.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is the ship of the Goa'uld Nirti. An enemy of Apophis.</blockquote>

[An object leaves the ship.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Now, what the hell is that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Looks grim) 
We must go.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC GENERAL HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

[HAMMOND hangs up the red phone.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Look, Sir, I know this decision isn't easy for you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
In fact, the decision is quite easy. The consequences are what's difficult.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
There has to be another way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I've been assured there is absolutely no way to remove the object from the girl without killing her. Therefore, we have no choice. According to Dr. Fraiser's measurements, the rate of atomic decay, we have one hour and twenty minutes left. The girl should be prepared to go back through the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'll take her, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Along with SG-4. I want O'Neill and Teal'c to return with you.</blockquote>

'''EXT—HARKA'''

[O'NEILL in biohazard suit and TEAL'C are running down road. Overhead, a pair of Death Gliders shoot at them. Blasts come close; they throw themselves to the side of the road.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We must get to the Stargate!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No argument from me!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This Goa'uld Nirti, he once sent an emissary of peace to negotiate a treaty concerning a Stargate Apophis had taken control of. The negotiation was a ploy. The Stargate was destroyed.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
As soon as he entered the Stargate, there was a massive explosion.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
The girl?</blockquote>

<blockquote>Teal'c nods.</blockquote>

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[SG-4 and CARTER are dressed in biohazard suits. CARTER is holding CASSANDRA (also in suit) by the hand.]

'''EXT—HARKA'''

[Death Gliders are firing at O'NEILL and TEAL'C. They run towards Stargate.]

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
Chevron three, encoded. Chevron four, encoded.</blockquote>

[CASSANDRA looks up at CARTER; her eyes roll back, and she collapses.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Cassandra?</blockquote>

[FRAISER runs to Gate room.]

'''EXT—HARKA—TEAL'C works on dialing the DHD'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Take your time, don't hurry.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[FRAISER runs in, and drops down at CASSANDRA'S side.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
Chevron five, encoded.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>FRAISER 
She's slipped into a coma.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
Chevron six, en… 
(he stops and looks down at the computer. The wormhole engages.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Close the iris.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
No need, sir. I'm getting an SG-1 remote signal.</blockquote>

'''EXT—HARKA'''

[TEAL'C and O'NEILL jump through Stargate and into the wormhole.]

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[TEAL'C and O'NEILL come through the Gate, debris following them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get the girl away from the Gate!</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So the Goa'ulds kept SG-7 from coming back through to warn us. All part of the plan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So what are we going to do now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Teal'c; Dr. Fraiser says the device inside the girl is on some sort of timer. You're sure it will go off if we send the girl through the Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We should not attempt it. The Earth Gate is what the Goa'uld wish to destroy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Cassandra's condition deteriorated once she got near the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, I can't risk the security of this mountain. We'll have to take her somewhere else.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What about the abandoned nuclear facility in…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(interrupting) 
Right. It's just twenty minutes away. 
(Picks up phone) 
This is Major General Hammond. Get me the Secretary of Defense immediately. Tell him it's a matter of life and death.</blockquote>

'''EXT—ROAD TO ABANDONED NUCLEAR FACILITY'''

[SG-1 is in back of a military transport, CASSANDRA being held on CARTER'S lap. They reach the facility, and various military personnel lead SG-1 into the building. CARTER is carrying a comatose CASSANDRA. The group walks through several corridors before reaching an elevator.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I can take her from here now, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No Sir, that's okay.</blockquote>

[The elevator door opens.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
This elevator goes down thirty floors through solid rock. Takes about three minutes to get to the bottom. That gives you four minutes to start back up.</blockquote>

[CARTER nods and enters the elevator, still carrying CASSANDRA.]

'''INT—FACILITY ELEVATOR'''

[CASSANDRA stirs, then her eyes open. She looks around the elevator, then at CARTER.]

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
Where are we going?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(looking horrified.) 
Please, go back to sleep.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
I'm not tired anymore.</blockquote>

[CARTER puts her down; CASSANDRA looks up at her.]

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
Are you crying?</blockquote>

[CARTER has tears in her eyes.]

'''INT—UPPER LEVEL OF FACILITY'''

[DANIEL, O'NEILL and TEAL'C watch the numbers on the elevator panel.]

'''INT—FACILITY ELEVATOR'''

[Elevator reaches bottom. CARTER leads CASSANDRA out into corridor. CARTER opens a heavy door, and leads CASSANDRA into bare, concrete room. The walls are crumbling. Nothing is inside. There's a slab of concrete jutting out of the wall. CARTER sits CASSANDRA on it.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sit down here and rest for awhile, okay? I have to go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
You promised you'd never leave me alone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'll be back, okay? I'll be back. 
(Brushes back Cassandra's hair.) 
You're very brave, remember?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
I'm very brave.</blockquote>

[CARTER is crying.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I have to close the door.</blockquote>

[CASSANDRA nods. CARTER walks out of the room.]

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
(As the door swings shut, she stands) 
Sam?</blockquote>

[CARTER shuts the door.]

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
(muffled, through door) 
SAM?</blockquote>

[CARTER leans against door, crying, then runs into elevator and presses the button to go up. She hits the walls, kicks them, then slides to the ground, sobbing. She suddenly stops, pulls herself up, and changes the direction of the elevator.]

'''INT—UPPER LEVEL FACILITY'''

[DANIEL is the only one still watching the elevator panel, so he is the only one to see the numbers change.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack, she's going back down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
The hell she is. Captain Carter? Captain Carter.</blockquote>

'''INT—LOWER LEVEL FACILITY'''

[CARTER opens the door and joins CASSANDRA in the room.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Over speaker) 
Sam, do you read me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, I'm staying.</blockquote>

'''INT—UPPER LEVEL FACILITY'''

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
(on speaker) 
Colonel, she's awake.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, God.</blockquote>

'''INT—LOWER LEVEL'''

[CARTER pulls the door shut and turns the lock.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Captain Carter, I am ordering you to get back up here, right now. Right now.</blockquote>

[CARTER hugs CASSANDRA.]

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
Are we going to die?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, we are not going to die.</blockquote>

'''INT—UPPER LEVEL FACILITY'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, why don't you guys clear out.</blockquote>

[DANIEL and TEAL'C exchange a look, then turn back to O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(nods) 
Right.</blockquote>

'''INT—LOWER LEVEL FACILITY'''

[CARTER and CASSANDRA are holding onto each other very tightly.]

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
We're both very brave. I love you.

CARTER 
I love you too.</blockquote>

'''INT—UPPER LEVEL FACILITY'''

[O'NEILL is watching the seconds count down on his watch.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, here we go. Three…two…one…</blockquote>

[O'NEILL'S watch reaches zero. Nothing seems to happen.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I don't feel anything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We could have been wrong about the time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We could have been wrong about what would happen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Presses intercom) 
Captain Carter? Can you hear me? 
(pauses) 
Sam, can you hear me?</blockquote>

'''INT—LOWER LEVEL OF FACILITY'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
(into intercom) 
We're okay. Nothing happened. Cassandra's fine, I'm fine. It didn't happen. I just…I couldn't leave her Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How did you know, Captain?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It occurred to me that she first slipped into the coma when we brought her closer to the Stargate. As soon as we got her far enough away from the Stargate, she woke up. And I…knew.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You knew.</blockquote>

'''INT—UPPER LEVEL FACILITY'''

[DANIEL punches TEAL'C in the arm. TEAL'C looks at him like he's nuts.]

'''INT—LOWER LEVEL FACILITY'''

[CARTER crosses room to CASSANDRA, who jumps up and wraps her legs around CARTER'S waist. They hug again.]

'''EXT—PARK'''

[DANIEL and CARTER are swinging CASSANDRA between them. TEAL'C is following. All are dressed in civilian clothing.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You're getting a little heavy for this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Calls from across park, where he's carrying a dog.) 
Cassandra!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hey, there he is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
(Running across to O'Neill) 
What's that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We have a rule here on Earth. Every kid has got to have a dog. This is a dog. And he's yours.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL hands the dog to CASSANDRA. CARTER, DANIEL and TEAL'C are sitting on a picnic table, watching O'NEILL and CASSANDRA interact.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So, how sure were you really?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I can't explain it, Daniel; I just knew.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Mother's instinct, perhaps.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Grins.) 
Subtle, but no. 
Dr. Fraiser is going to take her until we can find qualified parents.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
By qualified, you mean ones with the right security clearance.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I wouldn't be surprised if Dr. Fraiser wants to keep her for herself. As long as Cassandra's happy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
She appears to be.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And I wasn't completely at ease until I learned the object was shrinking and being reabsorbed into her system. 
(Cassandra comes over, carrying the dog.) 
Hey!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
Hey Samantha. See my new dog?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wow. Your new dog?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
It's an Earth rule. Every kid has to have one. But I don't mind.</blockquote>

[CARTER raises her eyebrows and looks at O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why don't I take the dog for a little walk. 
(He takes the dog out of Cassandra's arms.) 
C'mere. Teal'c? You know anything about dogs?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Nothing.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL gestures, and TEAL'C and DANIEL follow him.]

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
When you find me a new home, will you come and visit me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You betcha. All the time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
That is, when you're on Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Right. Now, about that Cassandra…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
I know. The Stargate is a secret; and I was born in a place called…Toronto?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Right.</blockquote>

[CARTER and CASSANDRA share a smile of complete understanding.]

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
(Looks across park at swing set.) 
What are those?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Ah. Those are swings.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CASSANDRA 
I never had any of those…in Toronto. They look like fun.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They are. Come on.</blockquote>

[Hand in hand, CASSANDRA and CARTER head for the swings.]

'''TEASER'''

'''EXT—EST. SHOT OF MAYAN PYRAMID'''

'''INT—UNDERGROUND CHAMBER OF PYRAMID'''

[It's pitch black. There are unidentified voices, and a pounding sound, like metal on rock.]

<blockquote>VOICES 
We're almost there. Okay, now. Push it. Push!</blockquote>

[A square of light is revealed as a piece of stone falls. Flashlight beams cross in the darkness, then three people come down stone steps.]

<blockquote>DR KLEINHOUSE 
Would you look at this! Many of us suspected there was another chamber, but the Mexican government wouldn't let us dig the compartment…'til now.</blockquote>

[The flashlight beam falls on a large, golden shape, the only thing in the chamber.]

<blockquote>DR COLE 
What's this? It looks like a sarcophagus.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR KLEINHOUSE 
Burial chambers in Mayan temple house are very rare indeed. Here. 
(Pulls out a brush) 
Look for glyphs, pictographs. Something to give us a hint who's inside. 
(He feels reveals pictures) 
Hieroglyphics.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR COLE 
(brushing more dust off the top, revealing the shapes beneath) 
My God. They're Egyptian. That doesn't make any sense. Egyptian hieroglyphics in a Mayan temple?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR KLEINHOUSE 
I read a journal article once by a young archaeologist. What was his name? Uh, Dr Jackson. Dr Daniel Jackson. He was laughed right out of academia for his preposterous ideas about a connection between various ancient civilizations.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR COLE 
Maybe Dr Jackson was onto something. I recognize one of these pictographs. It's of the goddess Hathor. The Egyptian goddess.</blockquote>

[DR KLEINHOUSE brushes off more dust, revealing a glowing red stone in the top of the sarcophagus, similar to the center of a DHD. DR KLEINHOUSE places his palm on the stone, and twists it. There is a grinding sound, and the top of the sarcophagus shifts. DR COLE hides behind DR KLEINHOUSE. Slowly the top slides apart, a perfectly manicured hand reaches out, then a beautiful woman, clad in an Egyptian headdress sits up, her eyes running over the invaders.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
(In a deep Goa'uld voice) 
Where is Ra?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR KLEINHOUSE 
Uh, I…I assume you mean the god Ra?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
(Looking displeased) 
You are not Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR KLEINHOUSE 
(Whispers to Dr Cole) 
What's that?</blockquote>

[HATHOR raises one hand, revealing a ribbon device on her palm. A red beam shoots of out it, and the archaeologists scream.]

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[DANIEL is standing on one side of the sarcophagus, HAMMOND and CARTER on the other. TEAL'C is at the far end, near the Stargate; O'NEILL in the background. DANIEL runs his hand over the gold glyphs.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Dr Kleinhouse and his associates were killed brutally. The Mexican authorities assume it was by crypt robbers looking to steal anything in the burial vault. Like this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
And who thought to send it here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, Dr Kleinhouse's other associates, who were outside the pyramid. They recognized the significance of an Egyptian sarcophagus in a Mayan temple. And, since I was the only one to ever do research in cross pollinization of ancient cultures, they tracked me down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O"NEILL 
I know this thing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah, I recognize it too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's like that thing that was on Ra's ship that…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(interupts him, nodding)…brought Sha're and I back from the dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, how could it be?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I don't know. But if it does belong to a Goa'uld, it would explain a lot. Like why there's no one in it, and why it has Egyptian hieroglyphs on it instead of Mayan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
(entering) 
General Hammond, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What is it, airman?</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Sir, a person was just arrested at the mountain surface for attempting an unauthorized entrance.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Happens every now and then. Let the police handle him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
It's a her, sir. Major Lowell thought you would want to talk to her yourself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Sir, she knew the Stargate was here.</blockquote>

'''END TEASER'''

'''INT—SGC'''

[HAMMOND is walking down the corridors, with DANIEL and O'NEILL behind him. They are obviously on their way to see this mysterious woman.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Sirs. 
(Salutes)</blockquote>

[HAMMOND salutes in return. The Airman lets them into a holding cell. HATHOR, wearing an oversized trenchcoat, is standing beside the bunk, facing away from the door.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Ma'am. I'm General Hammond, U.S. Air Force.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
Yes? 
(she turns)</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
And you are?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
We are Hathor. 
(We see that her arms are bound behind her) 
You would be wise to unbind us, and kneel before your goddess.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Helll-o.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hathor?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Have you heard of her?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hathor was the Egyptian goddess of fertility, inebriety and music.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sex, drugs and rock and roll?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
In a manner of speaking, yes. 
(To Hammond) 
Um, are the cuffs absolutely necessary?</blockquote>

[HAMMOND and O'NEILL exchange a look, then HAMMOND raises a hand towards HATHOR, giving DANIEL permission to unbind her.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(mutters) 
I'm surprised they didn't chain her to the bed too. What's she going to do, beat us up? 
(undoes handcuffs)</blockquote>

<blockquote>(To Hathor) 
Sorry about that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
Thank you. Your efforts shall not go unrewarded.</blockquote>

[HATHOR takes DANIEL'S hand and raises it, breathing on him. Pink mist leaves her mouth. DANIEL looks surprised, then stunned. HATHOR smiles. DANIEL backs away and sits abruptly on the bed.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
So, Ms Hathor. Would you mind telling us why exactly you were trying to get into this facility?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
We were drawn to the Chapa'ai.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Chapa'ai? 
(To Daniel) 
That's what your monk buddies on Chulak call the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Shaking himself) 
Um, yes. It's also Abydonian and ancient Egyptian.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What I want to know is what makes you think it's here, Ma'am?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
(Testy) 
We were drawn to it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We? 
(Cocks one eyebrow, clearly humoring her.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
(To Daniel) 
Where is Ra?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ra is…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Dr Jackson. Need to know.</blockquote>

[DANIEL looks confused for a moment, then pushes himself to his feet.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ra…Ra is a myth. He doesn't actually exist.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Miss…Hathor. What made you think this Chapa'Ai was here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
The Chapa'Ai was what gave power to our father, and our husband.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Who's she talking about, Dr Jackson?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ummm, Hathor was both the daughter and wife of Ra in Egyptian mythology. Until Ra was said to have corrupted her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
(Angrily) 
We were not corrupted.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Of course. No disrespect intended.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
We are the mother of all pharaohs.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Humoring her) 
Of course we are. General? Why don't we call county mental health and see if we can find a nice little rubber room for the lady?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Crazy or not, I want to know what she knows. Dr Jackson, talk to her. See what you can find out. But don't tell her anything she doesn't already know.

DANIEL 
(Nods) 
Okay.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND and O'NEILL turn to leave the room.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
You—with the crown of marble.</blockquote>

[Both men stop. O'NEILL looks at HAMMOND.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
She might mean you, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
You are the ruler here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Yes, ma'am. HATHOR 
May we take your hand?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(Suspiciously) 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
We wish to kiss it. To bless you with fertility and joy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Amused) 
Well, you can't pass that up sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(Clearly NOT amused) 
Yes, I can.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sir, it might help me if you play into her delusions. Just to keep her talking.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND looks at O'NEILL, who shrugs. HAMMOND goes over to HATHOR, who takes his hand in her own and raises it to her mouth. She breathes pink mist onto the General's hand. HAMMOND looks stunned, then walks back to the door, turning to look back at HATHOR, who smirks. HAMMOND and O'NEILL leave.]

[Once the door closes, HATHOR turns to DANIEL.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
Now. Where is Ra?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ra, your husband?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
(Eyes glowing, Goa'uld voice) 
Where. Is. Ra?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Um, I hate to be the one to tell you, but, Ra is dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
(Frowns) 
How?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
He was killed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
(Laughs) 
This is wonderful.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Smiling tentatively) 
It is?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
How did he die?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh…we killed him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
Then we owe your our gratitude indeed.</blockquote>

[She circles DANIEL, with one hand on his shoulders. He looks bemused.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
Perhaps we should choose you to be our new beloved. Together, we shall celebrate.</blockquote>

[HATHOR crosses the room and drops the trenchcoat, revealing an exotic Egyptian dress, with a gold halter top and orange/red skirt. Gold armbands with snakes coil around one upper arm.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
(Crooks her finger to DANIEL) 
Come.</blockquote>

[DANIEL crosses the room in a daze, leaning down toward her. She looks up and more pink mist passes from her mouth. DANIEL breathes it in through his mouth and nose, then their lips join in a kiss.]

'''INT—SGC OBSERVATION ROOM'''

[The Gate room is visible through the window. O'NEILL is standing at that window. HAMMOND, TEAL'C and CARTER are behind him. Two airmen stand guard at the door.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Do we really think anyone is going to believe that woman if she goes around blabbing about a… 
(he raises his hands and makes air quotes) 
'Stargate'? I mean, I have a hard time believing this woman down on 73rd who walks around talking about all these little…devil people…that live in her hair. Even though she could use a little conditioner.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Is not the question how does she know of the Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Dr Jackson's trying to figure that out now.</blockquote>

[DANIEL enters, walking down the spiral staircase.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I believe I have figured that out sir. She knows a hell of a lot. Either she's studied her Egyptian mythology very carefully, or…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Or what, Dr Jackson?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Or she's actually lived it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Meaning?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
She's a Goa'uld, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Surprised) 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How is she a Goa'uld?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
She could not have come through the Stargate. We would have been alerted.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
She's been imprisoned in stasis on Earth for almost two thousand years.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Raises his eyebrows in disbelief) 
Is…mental illness contagious?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Ignoring O'Neill) 
General Hammond, I think she is Hathor. Or at least the Goa'uld that took on the persona of Hathor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Back up. Did you say she's a Goa'uld?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes. She feels indebted to us for killing Ra, who she was trying to stop from enslaving Earth. See, she's always been a friend of humanity. See, that's how it was in the Book of the Dead. Hathor was a much-loved goddess.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Are you saying she wants to help us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes. She wants to help us defeat Apophis. And protect us from other, evil Goa'ulds.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Skeptical) 
And you bought into all of this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
General, I'd like permission to have Hathor come down here and debrief us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Whoa, Danny! 
(scoffing) 
I don't think so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
General. 
(Moves to stand directly in front of Hammond) 
I think you sense what I do. Hathor is a friend.</blockquote>

[DANIEL stares at HAMMOND, who meets his eyes. DANIEL'S eyes glow pink for a moment, and HAMMOND'S eyes widen. He nods.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Yes, I do believe that. Bring her down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Are you kidding?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Whoa, General.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(Sternly) 
Colonel!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sir, are you sure?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Yes, Colonel.</blockquote>

[CARTER and O'NEILL stare at him in disbelief. TEAL'C moves across the room.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
General. I have served the Goa'uld. I have yet to meet a good one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Maybe that's because you served the wrong one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, at least close the blast door so she can't see the Gate.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND nods, and an airman hits the button. The blast door closes. HATHOR enters the room from the same staircase DANIEL came down.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
We thank you for allowing us in your court.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(smiling benevolently) 
You're welcome.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
We would appreciate a drink from your water.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General? HAMMOND 
Colonel, water for the lady. 
(smiles at Hathor, looking besotted)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah! Yes, of course.</blockquote>

[With an unhappy expression, O'NEILL pours water and carries it to HATHOR.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
You are the one who is responsible for destroying the vile one, Ra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I would be the one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
For you, we will forever hold a special place, here.</blockquote>

[HATHOR takes O'NEILL'S hand and raises it, placing it over her heart.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well that's very special. Thank you.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL tries to pull his hand back, but HATHOR grabs it, lifting it to her mouth. She breathes pink mist on him. O'NEILL appears confused, looks around the room at his team, then goes to sit down at the table. CARTER and TEAL'C look on suspiciously as HATHOR smirks.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Crossing the room to loom over HATHOR) 
She is a Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
(To Teal'c) 
Jaffa. In service to Apophis, the serpent, vile creature that he is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am no longer in the service of Apophis.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
We despise all that Ra, Apophis and their kind do and believe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's all right. So does Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
Then your enemy, is our enemy. Together, we can defeat them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I will serve no Goa'uld.</blockquote>

[HATHOR takes TEAL'C'S hand and raises it to her mouth. She breathes pink mist on him, but he just glares at her, impervious.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What do you say, General?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(smiling affably) 
I say we should make the lady comfortable, and welcome her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Outraged) 
General, sir. I have a problem with this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hathor, this is Captain Carter.</blockquote>

[CARTER crosses to stand before HATHOR.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
You are an exceedingly beautiful woman.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Thank you. So are you. 
(Suspiciously, speaking to the General, but not taking her eyes off Hathor) 
General Hammond, I believe we should keep Miss Hathor under house arrest until we can better assess…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(Reprimanding) 
Don't be impolite, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Incredulous) 
Impolite, Sir? She's a Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
She's a guest at this facility, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, this is crazy, it doesn't make any sense. Colonel O'Neill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(angrily) 
I am in command of this facility, Captain Carter, not Colonel O'Neill. Is that understood?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
But Sir…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Understood?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well sir, with respect, it seems that this woman has all you guys under some sort of spell or something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Are you questioning my orders, Captain?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes sir, I guess I am. 
(Turns to O'Neill) 
Colonel O'Neill, are you going to back me up on this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, Captain. 
(Takes a sip of water as Carter looks relieved) 
If I see that there's a problem.</blockquote>

[Carter's mouth drops open with surprise.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Thank you, Colonel. 
(Smiling again at Hathor) 
Now, if you'll follow me, I would be honored to give you a tour of our facility.</blockquote>

[HATHOR returns the smile, but she stares at Carter, her gaze stony. When HAMMOND and HATHOR leave; DANIEL follows.]

'''INT—SGC GUEST QUARTERS'''

[DANIEL opens the door and leads HATHOR into the room. It's much nicer than the holding cell she was in before.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This is the guest quarters.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND and O'NEILL follow them into the room.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
This will do fine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We'll post a couple guards outside.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
Guards? To protect us or…to protect everyone else?</blockquote>

[HATHOR stands close to HAMMOND and breathes out more pink mist. He breathes it in, and stares at her.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(over his shoulder, his eyes not leaving Hathor) 
Colonel?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Let's forget the guards.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(doubtfully) 
Are you sure, General?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
You can trust us, Colonel. 
(She moves to stand in front of O'NEILL)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, that's not in question, Ma'am. But it is our policy to secure…all quarters…for…(Hathor leans in and breathes the pink mist on him. His words stumble to a halt and he shakes his head with confusion) 
The Guards probably aren't necessary.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
Our thanks to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Uh…(clears throat)…I suppose we should let you get some…rest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Yes.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND and O'NEILL leave the room. DANIEL moves to follow.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
Dr Jackson? Please remain. We have other questions.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(closes the door) 
Sure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
It is time that you become our chosen one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Walks across the room to stand before her) 
Chosen one?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
(Intently) 
Will you always honor us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
Would you…die for us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Die? 
(He blinks. Hathor smiles) 
Yes.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR, LEVEL 25'''

[CARTER leaves the stairway, walking into O'NEILL. She follows him down the corridor.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, there you are.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Here I am, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I wanted to have a word with you, sir, about Hathor, if you don't mind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Fascinating lady, isn't she?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
A little too fascinating, don't you think?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What do you mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, sir. She seems to have you all so…infatuated.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Us all?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, sir. The men. Don't you think it's a little dangerous to be giving a Goa'uld such royal treatment?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah, relax Captain. She's on our side.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So she says.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL looks at CARTER disapprovingly.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Captain, if you don't mind my saying so, you're treating her exactly the way you hate to see people treat Teal'c. A bit of a double standard, don't you think?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Teal'c has proven who's side he's on. She hasn't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter, have you ever heard the old saying: 'My enemy's enemy is my friend'?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, sir. But even when the CIA grants sanctuary to an enemy turncoat, they never trust him. They watch him like a hawk.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel's watching her right now. 
(He pats Carter on the shoulder) 
Relax.</blockquote>

[As O'NEILL walks away, CARTER stares at the spot where he had touched her.]

'''INT—SGC—GATE ROOM'''

[The sarcophagus is in the middle of the room. HATHOR and DANIEL enter.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
Tell us, our beloved, what are the questions swelling in your mind?</blockquote>

[HATHOR runs one hand along the sarcophagus, moving toward the Gate.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I spent years studying you as a student, and now I'm…I'm with you. Do you know that you're described in history as the most beautiful woman ever was or ever will be, able to control men with just your beauty?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
(Looks up at the Gate possessively) 
We are pleased to see you, old friend. It won't be long until you will serve us once again. 
(to Daniel) 
Tell us, do you believe this to be true, now that you have come to know us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, I certainly have a deeper understanding of it now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
We are the queen of the gods. We are the mother of all gods.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes. 
(He looks confused) 
What does that mean, exactly?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
From us, all others come.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HATHOR 
The Jaffa. He has a Goa'uld child in his belly?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
A larva. Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
Did you ever wonder from whence the children come?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Are you saying that they come from you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
Yes. And others, like us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
My god. You're like a queen bee. You create the Goa'ulds.</blockquote>

[DANIEL looks shocked. HATHOR smiles.]

'''INT SGC—INFIRMARY'''

[CARTER is typing on a computer in one of the offices. DR FRAISER, who is walking down the corridor, sees her and stops, then enters the room.]

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
Captain Carter? What are you doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Have you noticed the way the men on the base are acting?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
Yes. Thank you. 
(sounding annoyed) 
You noticed too?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It all seems to be tied into the arrival of this Hathor person…or, whatever she is. I'm researching her right now on the Net.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
What have you found?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This is really Daniel's field, so I'm kinda starting from scratch. This one academic webpage theorizes that a bunch of the sex goddesses from different cultures were actually all the same woman. Hathor. The Greeks identified her with Aphrodite, there's Ishtar of Babylon, Astarte of Syria, Ceres of Rome…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
Sounds like she got around.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, in most of the mythology. And she's pretty loved in all of it. Except for a late period in Ancient Egypt where, according to one of the stories, she was sent by Ra to destroy mankind. And then he changed his mind, and they became enemies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
So, then when she says she's Ra's enemy, she may not be lying.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah. But here's the interesting thing. 
(Intently) 
According to the stories, this woman had magical powers over men. She was supposed to be able to seduce them into doing anything for her. In almost every case, it describes them as 'drunk with her presence'.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
Well, that would be how I'd describe our boys.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, Now, I figure she's using some form of Goa'uld technology. Any ideas?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
My guess would be some sort of chemical we've never seen. A…a sort of super pheromones combined with something like sodium pentathol, probably airborne delivery.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Great. How do we reverse it in the men?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
Oh, it may not be reversible. And if it is, it may take years.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(worried) 
We probably don't even have days before this Goa'uld does whatever it is she's trying to do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
So what do you suggest, Captain?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(firmly) 
I suggest we neutralize her.</blockquote>

'''INT — SGC GUEST QUARTERS'''

[DANIEL leads HATHOR into the room.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So you actually create the larvae. How?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
We must first have the code of life from the juices of the species intended as the host.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Code of life?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
In order to ensure compatibility for the Goa'uld child and the host.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
DNA. You mean you need DNA to prevent rejection.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
The code of life. 
(smirking) 
We do so enjoy the method of procuring the code in your species. 
(She removes Daniel's glasses, and runs her hands through his hair) 
It is much more pleasurable than most.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I bet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
Since you are to be our first pharaoh, 
(she pushes Daniel's jacket from his shoulders and off his arms) 
you will honor us by being the one to contribute the code.</blockquote>

[HATHOR places one hand on the back of DANIEL'S neck.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You want me to help you create more Goa'ulds?</blockquote>

[HATHOR leans in to kiss DANIEL, but he reaches up and puts his hand on her arm, trying to push her away. They are at an impass for seconds, then HATHOR breathes pink mist out, and DANIEL inhales it. His hand drops, and he stands stock-still, looking mesmerized.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
Now that Ra is gone, we are finally free to rule this planet. With you, our beloved, at our side. For all eternity.</blockquote>

[HATHOR places her hands on DANIEL'S face and pulls him into a kiss.]

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[CARTER pulls several weapons out of a storage locker in the corner, handing them out to the women standing around. There's one Gate technician, three soldiers and Dr Fraiser.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, here's what we know. This creature, who calls herself Hathor, is admittedly a Goa'uld, or some form of Goa'uld. So she has who knows what kinds of weapons or defenses. That means it might take a lot of firepower to neutralize her and we need to come at her from multiple flanks. 
(Hands Fraiser a gun) 
You know how to use this, don't you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
(Doubtfully) 
Well, yeah. I've had some training, but I haven't touched one of these in years.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, don't worry. All you do is point and pull the trigger and be careful not to hurt any of our own men. They're all pretty loopy right now, so that shouldn't be a problem.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C enters the room.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Captain Carter. 
(The women whirl around, aiming their weapons at him) 
We must speak of Hathor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Keep your hands where I can see them Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Holding his hands out to his sides) 
Do you not trust me, Captain Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
All of the men on this base are under Hathor's control, from what I can tell. And, I hate to break it to you Teal'c, but you are male.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am a Jaffa. The Goa'uld I carry within me protects me from Hathor's powers. It is only together that we may stop her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
From doing what, exactly?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is legend among the Jaffa that the original Goa'uld larvae come from the queen Goa'ulds.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And you think Hathor's one of them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Yes. If I am correct, this base will become her nest. From here, she will populate your world with new Goa'uld. I cannot permit this to happen. Captain Carter, we cannot permit this to happen.</blockquote>

[CARTER nods and takes off the gun she has slung over her shoulder, handing it to TEAL'C.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Glad you're with us, Teal'c.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CORRIDORS'''

[CARTER leads the way through the corridors, DR FRAISER and TEAL'C behind her.]

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
Is this really necessary? I mean, somebody's bound to come on base and see what's going on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Sounding disgusted) 
Yeah, and if they're male, they'll be under Hathor's control before they can think about it. Besides, when was the last time you saw a new woman get assigned here?</blockquote>

[CARTER kicks open the door to the Guest Quarters and enters. She scans the room, but there is no sign of HATHOR. The room is in disarray; a lamp tipped over and the bedcovers thrown on the floor. DANIEL is sitting on the edge of the bed, staring into space.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Cautiously) 
Daniel? You okay? Where is she, Daniel?</blockquote>

[DANIEL does not respond. One of the female airmen enters.]

<blockquote>FEMALE AIRMAN 
Captain, we found her. She was spotted going into the locker room.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
All right, let's go. 
(She leans down to look at Daniel's face with concern) 
Daniel, you okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE AIRMAN 
(Urgently) 
Captain?</blockquote>

[They leave. Behind them, DANIEL continues to star into space blankly. TEAL'C looks in with a frown before following the women.]

'''INT—SGC LOCKER ROOM'''

[CARTER and DR FRAISER enter cautiously, their guns ready. Behind them, the other female soldiers scan the corridors. CARTER gives the women hand signals, directing them to surround their target.]

[Inside the locker room, HATHOR reclines in a steaming hot tub. The water bubbles around her. She is, apparently, alone. CARTER approaches cautiously. HATHOR'S eyes fly open.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
Ring'tel nok.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND, O'NEILL and several other SGC male personnel enter the room, surrounding the hot tub. Some are carrying weapons, which they aim at the female soldiers.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Stand down, Captain Carter. Unless you plan to kill us.</blockquote>

[CARTER looks shocked.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Is this any way to treat a guest, Captain?</blockquote>

[Male soldiers surround the group of female soldiers and TEAL'C. Guns click, and CARTER'S band drop their weapons. HATHOR smiles.]

'''INT SGC HOLDING CELL'''

[CARTER stands at the door. DR FRAISER paces. Two female airmen are seated at the table, talking; one sits on a bed.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
It must be a pretty powerful drug Hathor's using. Colonel O'Neill is Special Forces trained to fight mind control techniques.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
Well, not Goa'uld techniques, apparently.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yup. 
(She leans her head back against the wall) 
Well, Mama said there'd be days like this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
Really? My ex-husband said that. 
(Imitates a southern accent) 
'You outa your mind, honey-buns? There is a reason they call it this man's Army'. 
(Rolls her eyes and grins.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Laughs) 
'This man's Army'? Your husband actually said that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
Yeah, so of course I explained to him that it wasn't the Army, it was the Air Force, and they've had women for decades.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Shakes her head, looking rueful) 
Man. I think maybe it's just me, but I can't figure out how feel like one of the guys with these guys, you know what I mean? I always feel like I'm The Girl.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
(looks excited) 
That's it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
You just gave me an idea on how to get us out of here. Look, if Hathor's control drug is hormone-driven like I suspect, that means she's making the men…libidinous.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Doubtfully) 
Okay. Why do I get the feeling I don't like where this is going?</blockquote>

'''INT —SGC GUEST QUARTERS'''

[HATHOR is standing in the room. O'NEILL enters.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Excuse me, Ma'am. I'm,uh…I'm sorry to barge in on you like this, but I'd like to ask you some questions.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
About?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
About you, actually. See, you've…You've got me a little off-balance, and that's very unnatural for me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
We are told by the one that you call Daniel that you are responsible for ridding us from the vile one, Ra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(nods) 
Yeah, well we kinda touched on that earlier. But I'd like to be the one asking the questions right now, if you don't mind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HATHOR 
(Gazes up at him) 
We must praise you and gift you a great honor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah. I'm sure that'd be just great, but not right…</blockquote>

[HATHOR breathes out more of the pink mist, which O'NEILL inhales. His face loses all animation as he stares at her, standing stock still. HATHOR unbuttons his shirt, pushing it open to reveal his bare stomach.]

[HATHOR yanks off her dress to reveal a intricate contraption wrapped around her middle. In the center is a glowing red object. HATHOR presses herself against O'NEILL, and the red glow intensifies. She wraps her arms around him, and he stands in her grasp. HATHOR'S expression is blissful, while O'NEILL's face is hidden in her shoulder.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
Do not worry yourself. You will enjoy the richness that come with what we are giving you.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL flinches in pain.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
You will cherish the good health and long life that goes with being…</blockquote>

[HATHOR pushes O'NEILL away from her, and he hits the wall. He is sweating, his face contorted in pain.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
(Goa'uld voice) 
Hathor's first, new, Jaffa.</blockquote>

[HATHOR smiles, and O'NEILL looks down to his stomach. He reaches down with trembling hands to touch the X cut into it—a Jaffa pouch.]

'''INT—SGC HOLDING CELL'''

[CARTER and DR FRAISER stand in front of the door.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Grimacing) 
You know, using seduction wasn't in any of the AF Training manuals I ever read.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
What? You think the Pentagon anticipated a 4,000 year old alien walking onto a base and drugging all the men to make them…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Libidinous?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I suppose the do train us to take advantage of the enemy's weakness.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
Exactly.</blockquote>

[Both women smile.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(sighs) 
All right, let's do it.</blockquote>

[DR FRAISER knocks on the door.]

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
(Shouting) 
Airman, open up! We've got something for you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
(Coyly) 
Why don't you come in here and see for yourself?</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
No can do. We only take orders from Hathor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
Gentlemen, there are five women in here, 
(suggestively) 
very alone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Carter 
(Rolling her eyes) 
Why do I feel like I'm in a women behind bars movie?</blockquote>

[DR FRAISER crosses to the bunks. She and one of the female airmen take off their jackets and look sultry.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
What are you suggesting, ladies?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
(Smirking) 
Whatever you want, Airman.</blockquote>

[The soldier leers and motions to his companion and enters the room. The first soldier bends over to kiss DR FRAISER, while the second one grins at the female airman. CARTER grabs his face as he enters the room, smiling at him. He leers back, and she decks him with her elbow. The female soldier he was smiling at grabs the airman bent over DR FRAISER while FRAISER grabs his gun. CARTER gets the other man's gun.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Feel like a woman, Doc?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
(wiping her face) 
Oh, yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Let's tie them up.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CORRIDORS'''

[Two of CARTER's band walk down the corridor. An airman stops them, cocking his gun.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Hold it right there, ladies.</blockquote>

[One of the female solders hits him on the head with her rifle. Just as she's smiling at her compatriots in relief, HAMMOND moves in behind her, aiming a pistol.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Drop your weapon!</blockquote>

[CARTER hits HAMMOND with the but of her rifle. He drops to the floor, unconscious.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Shakes her head) 
Yeah, my career is over.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
Don't worry about it. I can fix him up as good as new when this thing's over.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Great. So he can bring me up on charges.</blockquote>

[DR FRAISER checks HAMMOND while CARTER lets TEAL'C out of his cell.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am pleased to see you, Captain Carter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm glad someone is. 
(To female airman) 
Lock these guys up and stay here. 
(hands Teal'c a gun) 
Okay?</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC LOCKER ROOM'''

[CARTER moves around wall, aiming her rifle.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, let Teal'c and me take the lead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
No argument there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
On three. 
(She starts to count, but Teal'c simply moves past her.)</blockquote>

[With TEAL'C in the lead, they move into the locker room. This time, the hot tub is full of squealing Goa'uld larvae moving beneath the surface. There is a light coming from the bottom of the tub. O'NEILL is laying on the ground at the base, uncomfortably draped across the steps.]

[CARTER approaches cautiously, reaching out to check on O'NEILL. He doesn't move as she touches his hand. As CARTER aims her rifle in the hot tub, there is a sound. She moves to hide with DR FRAISER and TEAL'C behind a half-wall as HATHOR rises from the tub. HATHOR gets out of the water, totally dry, and goes to O'NEILL. She rolls him over, and lifts him to his feet.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
Do not worry, child. You will soon receive your Goa'uld. And then, you will begin to feel strong again.</blockquote>

[HATHOR moves O'NEILL like a puppet, and he seems not to notice. She helps him into the tub full of larvae. CARTER and DR FRAISER exchange a horrified glance.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
The strongest of the larvae will soon find your womb and move into it.</blockquote>

[She lifts several larvae out of the water and holds them in front of O'Neill. He stares at them, his expression empty.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
At that moment, you will begin your service to us. 
(Goa'uld voice) 
Enjoy.</blockquote>

[HATHOR walks out of the room.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Determined) 
Let's get him out of there.</blockquote>

[CARTER, DR FRAISER and TEAL'C move forward. TEAL'C hands CARTER his weapon and lifts O'NEILL out of the tub.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(moves under O'Neill's arm to take some of his weight) 
Okay Colonel, we gotcha. Okay.</blockquote>

[They carry O'NEILL to a bench.]

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
(Handing guns to Carter) 
Here, take this. 
(She reaches her hand into the new Jaffa pouch and feels around) 
Yeaguh….No. Nothing went in there yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This is a good thing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
(Doubtfully) 
Uh, maybe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He no longer has an immune system. Without a Goa'uld larvae, he will soon die.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL'S eyes are open, but he doesn't seem to register their presence.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR TO GATE ROOM'''

[CARTER and DR FRAISER move down the corridor. TEAL'C follows them, with O'NEILL draped across his shoulders.]

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
Shouldn't we be taking him to the infirmary?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You said you do not have the technology to help him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
Well, we could at least make him comfortable.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The Goa'ulds have the technology, and Hathor may have brought it to us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The sarcophagus.</blockquote>

[CARTER runs a card through the access panel, and the door to the Gate room slides open. With the door closed, CARTER and TEAL'C place O'NEILL in the sarcophagus. TEAL'C moves to the control panel.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I have seen the Goa'uld chamber do many miracles.</blockquote>

[He turns a lever, closing O'NEILL inside the sarcophagus. CARTER and DR FRAISER look on, worried. Suddenly, the door opens and two airmen enter, firing guns. CARTER, DR FRAISER and TEAL'C move for cover, firing back. DR FRAISER is hit high in the shoulder, TEAL'C in the thigh and arm. CARTER crawls behind sarcophagus as HATHOR enters the room. The sarcophagus begins to open.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
(shouting) 
Stop! You will harm our new Jaffa.</blockquote>

[The airmen stop firing as O'NEILL sits up.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Argh. What's going on?</blockquote>

[HATHOR raises the hand with the ribbon device. O'NEILL jumps out of the sarcophagus as a beam of energy hits it. He lands beside CARTER. The beam hits the sarcophagus.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel! 
(She hands him a weapon.)</blockquote>

[Blue lightning is playing over the surface of the sarcophagus. An ominous whining starts, increasing in pitch and volume quickly. HATHOR swirls around and stalks out of the room, the airmen behind her.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't think this is good. 
(Motions for the others to leave through another door.)</blockquote>

[As the door is closing, the sarcophagus explodes, throwing O'NEILL, CARTER, DR FRAISER and TEAL'C to the ground.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, good to have you back, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What, I left?</blockquote>

[DR FRAISER struggles to her feet, holding her arm. She and TEAL'C stand in the doorway while CARTER and O'NEILL go back into the Gate room. It's a smoking mess. Bits of sarcophagus litter the room, still burning.]

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Looking down toward his stomach) 
Do you mind if I have a look?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Affronted) 
At what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You were uh…um…(looks down again) 
Let's just say you were wounded.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL holds his jacket open, revealing a normal, human stomach.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wow. That's a miracle.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Looking down and frowning) 
Crunches.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
Too bad she blew up that sarcophagus. We could use one of those things in the infirmary right about now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get yourselves down there right away.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(to O'Neill) 
Now what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Now, you and I go for that Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, how? She's guarded by our own men. We can't exactly go in shooting.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We can with tranquilizer guns.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I thought of that, sir. But there weren't any in the armory.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(looks back at Carter) 
This is the military, Captain. We always have more than we need. There's a supply in lockup C.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It'd be nice if someone told me that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Your tax dollar at work.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC LOCKER ROOM'''

[HATHOR is back in the hot tub, which is now swarming with larvae. DANIEL is at her side, gazing up at her with a combination of concern and adoration. Four large airmen are standing around them, on guard.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
(in a Goa'uld voice) 
We demand that the woman you call Carter be brought before us so that we might gain retribution.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Captain Carter does deserve to be punished, my queen, but she does not know what she is doing. I beg of you to show mercy.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL and CARTER sneak into the room, armed with tranquilizer guns.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
(in Goa'uld voice) 
She deserves no mercy from us. She will make amends with her death.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL nods at CARTER. They both rise and fire, hitting all four airmen, who collapse to the floor.]

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

[HATHOR raises the ribbon device. A blue beam shoots out, throwing CARTER across the room to hit the wall. She falls to the floor. HATHOR looks at O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>HATHOR 
(in Goa'uld voice, furious) 
You have failed us, our love. You will not fail us, again.</blockquote>

[HATHOR'S eyes glow as she stares at O'NEILL. He stands there, frozen, staring back. HATHOR raises the ribbon device again. It glows red. CARTER appears and fires her pistol at HATHOR, hitting her several times. HATHOR falls under the water. The water boils, and the tub bursts into flames.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Shouting desperately) 
Nooooo!</blockquote>

[Burning larvae fall out of the tub and to the floor. CARTER and O'NEILL rush to pick up the first two fallen airmen.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get these airmen out of here. Daniel, move it. Let's go!</blockquote>

[DANIEL stands frozen, staring at the burning tub. As CARTER and O'NEILL drag the third and fourth airmen out of the room, a shape, disguised by the flames, climbs out of the tub and walks to the doorway. It's HATHOR. No one sees her. O'NEILL and CARTER come back, each taking one of DANIEL'S arms.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on, Danny.</blockquote>

[As they rush him from the room, two of the female soldiers come in with fire extinguishers and start to spray the burning tub.]

<blockquote>AUTOMATED VOICE 
Unauthorized Gate activation. All hands to the Gate room. Unauthorized Gate activation.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL and CARTER rush into the Observation room. CARTER hits the control for the blast door. It rises, to reveal HATHOR, looking none the worse for wear, standing in front of a wormhole. HATHOR turns and stares at them for a moment, before stepping through Stargate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where did she go?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Chulak. We have to go after her.</blockquote>

[The wormhole shuts down.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We will. Not right now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(looking confused) 
Hey. What's going on? I must have…blacked out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I guess she needs to stay in proximity to keep control. O'NEILL 
(Blankly) 
Control what?</blockquote>

[CARTER frowns, and looks back at DANIEL.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What? What are you talking about?</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC LOCKER ROOM'''

[Later. DR FRAISER, her arm in a sling, is bending over to the floor, taking samples of the gooey substance that dripped from the hot tub. CARTER is assisting her. O'NEILL DANIEL, and TEAL'C, in civilian clothing, enter the room.]

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

<blockquote>DR FRAISER 
Probably nothing we can use. Maybe we'll at least get a cellular level analysis on the Goa'ulds, maybe we even find some DNA information.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Uncomfortably) 
A lot of that will probably be mine.

O'NEILL 
Ew.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND enters. CARTER and DR FRAISER jump to their feet.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Nervously) 
General Hammond, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
At ease, Captain. At ease, Doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Thank you sir. About your head, I'd like to explain that if I could.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Captain, I'm putting you and Dr Fraiser up for a commendation medal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, thank you sir, but I can explain…(She stops in confusion, looking over at Fraiser) 
You are?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
If you hadn't kept your wits about you and done whatever was necessary, we could have put this entire planet at risk. Good job, ladies.</blockquote>

[DR FRAISER smiles. CARTER looks relieved.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Thank you, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(with a smile) 
Well, that's all.</blockquote>

[CARTER tries not to look too pleased, but she can't hide her smile.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(grinning) 
Nice job.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[CARTER ducks her head and smiles.]

'''TEASER'''

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN—DAY'''

'''INT—SGC—SGC'''

[Carrying a clipboard, DAVIS crosses the Briefing Room and knocks on HAMMOND'S open door. After a short pause, he walks in. HAMMOND is seated at his desk, working.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Readouts on P8X-362, Sir. Looks good; especially the mineral scans. 
(He passes the clipboard to Hammond)</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'll pass this on to SG-4. They'll be geared up and ready to for departure by 1100 hours. Thank you, Sergeant.</blockquote>

[The claxon sound of an alarm fills the air. Both officers look up.]

<blockquote>GATE TECHNICIAN 
(over loudspeaker) 
Off world activation. Repeat, off world activation!</blockquote>

[HAMMOND and DAVIS walk out of the office to the Observation Room. Below them, the Stargate is spinning. The iris is in place.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Is there anyone due back?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>GATE TECHNICIAN 
(over loudspeaker) 
Incoming traveler. Repeat, incoming traveler!</blockquote>

[HAMMOND hurries down the spiral staircase to the Control Room, DAVIS right behind him. Guards rush into Gate room, weapons aimed at the Gate.]

<blockquote>FEMALE TECNICIAN 
(over loudspeakers in Gate room) 
All defense teams, stand by!</blockquote>

[An iris code flashes on the screen. 70629570282002. The computer acknowledges a known signal.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Looks like…SG-1 sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Open the Iris. 
(The iris opens) 
Get a medical team down there!</blockquote>

[HAMMOND whirls away, moving toward the Gate room.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
(Over intercom) 
Medical team, report to Stargate room! Medical team, report to Stargate room!</blockquote>

[Three people stumble out of the wormhole, hanging onto each other. O'NEILL, CARTER and TEAL'C; they're soaking wet. The soldiers in the Gate room lower their weapons, looking confused. At the end of the ramp, the three members of SG-1 sit, as if they can move no further. HAMMOND walks into the Gate room just as O'NEILL puts his head in his hands.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Stand down. 
(concerned) 
Colonel O'Neill? SG-1 couldn't have been deployed more than three hours ago. What happened?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL shakes his head, not looking up. FRAISER runs into the room, and rushes to O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Colonel, look at me. Look at me!</blockquote>

[O'NEILL lifts his head from his hands and stares at her. It is apparent that all three teammates are confused.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
They're in shock. 
(to medical team) 
Get them to the infirmary!</blockquote>

[Several medical technicians help pull O'NEILL, CARTER and TEAL'C to their feet. They stumble up, dazed.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel? Where's Dr. Jackson?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL, CARTER and TEAL'C look at the floor, at each other, anywhere but at HAMMOND.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Daniel Jackson is… 
(his voice trails off)</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(picks up) 
He didn't make it, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel's dead, sir.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND looks shocked. O'NEILL stares at him, blinking.]

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN—NIGHT'''

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY— NIGHT'''

[A medical technician places the wet uniforms from O'NEILL, CARTER and TEAL'C into a biohazard bag. FRAISER walks into the room.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
All right, I want a complete analysis of these uniforms. See if there is any form of contamination.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
Yes.</blockquote>

[FRAISER walks to CARTER'S bed. A male nurse is holding her chart. He hands it to FRAISER.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
What have we got?</blockquote>

[CARTER is in medical scrubs, a blanket wrapped tightly around her. Her knees are bent up to her chest, as if for warmth, and she is rocking slightly back and forth. Her voice is hoarse.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
He's gone, isn't he? 
(blinks back tears) 
Why can't I stop shaking?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
You're still in shock, Captain. It's all right. You're going to be all right. 
(calls over her shoulder) 
Can I get another warm blanket here, please? 
(a nurse brings over another blanket and Fraiser helps her wrap it around Carter) 
I just want you to take some slow deep breaths for me. 
(to nurse) 
That's good. 
(Carter sniffs, trying to take deep breaths) 
You want to tell me what happened?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(scrunches her face) 
Gunh. He screamed, and…and there was this fire, and…he called out for help, and then he…screamed…and then he…he was gone! He was just…he was just… 
(Carter starts to cry.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Shhh. 
(gently) 
It's all right, we're going to give you a sedative now so you can rest. 
(Carter nods) 
Nurse? 5 CCs.</blockquote>

[FRAISER crosses the room to O'NEILL and TEAL'C. O'NEILL, also in surgical scrubs, is sitting on a bed, his knees drawn up, his elbows resting on them. TEAL'C, in a T-shirt and shorts, is standing. A nurse is trying to take Teal'c's blood pressure. TEAL'C pulls out of the blood pressure cuff and backs up.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(alarmed) 
I do not wish this done.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(listlessly) 
Relax Teal'c, they're just trying to take your blood pressure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
(to nurse) 
It's all right, that can wait for now. Teal'c, you can go change if you want to. 
(Teal'c walks away, glaring at the nurse.) 
Okay…Colonel. 
(she feels his lymph nodes) 
Any pain? Headache?</blockquote>

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

[FRAISER pulls out a penlight.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I'd like you to look straight ahead please?</blockquote>

[She turns on the light straight into O'NEILL'S eye. He immediately flinches with pain, pulling away.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Wha…! 
(he covers his eye) 
What is that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It's a penlight. I'm sorry, you must be photosensitive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ya think?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It's all right, Colonel. We can do this after the debriefing. Or even tomorrow.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(sighs) 
Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Okay.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL gets off the bed, but stops after a few steps, looking uncertain. He looks like he is going to say something to FRAISER but stops himself, turns back around, and walks off.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you.</blockquote>

[FRAISER looks after O'NEILL, a worried expression on her face.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM—NIGHT'''

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We went through the Stargate at precisely 0700 this morning. The world we found on the other side appeared to be uninhabited.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C is sitting at one end of the table, a camera facing him, recording the debriefing. HAMMOND is on the other end of the table, asking questions. A young female airman is typing Teal'c's words into a laptop computer.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
So there was no immediate sign of danger?</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM—NIGHT'''

[The same set up is in effect. This time, CARTER is the focus of the camera.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
There were these holes…volcanic gas. I took some soil samples to test for minerals. Daniel… 
(She mouths a few words, then hesitates, looking down.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Take your time.</blockquote>

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM—NIGHT'''

[The same set up. O'NEILL is now the focus.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He said…He said, 'Colonel, help me.' 
(O'Neill stops; his head drops) 
And then he was gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Gone?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Engulfed. In fire, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
There was nothing you could have done, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, I swear to God, sir, I tried to get to him, but the heat was…It…It…It blasted toward us…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
And what did you do then?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There was a body of water somewhere nearby, it was like a lake…a sea, maybe. We all submerged ourselves; that's what saved us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
And by then?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
By then Daniel was gone, there was nothing we could do…Nothing left, sir. I ordered the team to evacuate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We'll send a team through to recover the body.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(loudly, alarmed) 
No sir! It's…too volatile, sir. The whole area was…very unstable.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It's a hard thing, to lose a member of the team, Colonel. I've gone through it myself. If there's anything I…</blockquote>

[O'NEILL presses both hands against his temples; his face is lined with pain.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(interrupting) 
Yes sir.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND nods his head, understanding.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Dismissed.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL gets up immediately and walks out of the room. HAMMOND stays seated, his gaze thoughtful.]

'''INT—SGC OBSERVATION ROOM'''

[HAMMOND walks down the stairs. FRAISER meets him at the bottom.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
General? I have a few more tests to run, but I've got the results back from my initial exams.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
And?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Well, except for some minor contusions, uh, photosensitivity , which I can probably blame on exposure to volcanic gasses in the atmosphere…they're fine. Frankly, General, I am more worried about their posttraumatic symptoms.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
When your lives depend on each other, you form very deep bonds. Theirs is a very dangerous job.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND turns and walks down the stairs. FRAISER follows him.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Well yes. of course sir. It's just, I…I can't help but be concerned. Call it intuition…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(interrupting) 
The best thing we can do is get them on another mission. I plan to put them back in the rotation as soon as I can assign a replacement for Dr. Jackson.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
(sharply) 
No sir, I don't agree. 
(Hammond stops, and turns to look at her) 
I want to keep them under observation for several days at least.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
In my experience, Doctor; it's best for the surviving members of the team to go…</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
(interrupting) 
Sir, with all due respect, your experience doesn't include Gate travel to another planet. 
(both officers speak more softly as they realize they can be overheard by passing staff members) 
Nether does anyone else's experience for that matter. Several days at least. I insist.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Very well, I'll put them on stand-down for seven days. 
(HAMMOND steps into the elevator)</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Thank you, sir.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND nods, dismissing her. FRAISER raises her eyebrows, and walks away.]

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN—DUSK'''

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM—DUSK'''

[A Color Guard consisting of four solders march into the Gate room. The first one is carrying a rifle, the second a US flag, the third an SGC flag, the fourth another rifle. SGC staff, in full dress uniform, are standing in ranks along the wall. There is a podium at the end of the Gate ramp. HAMMOND, O'NEILL, TEAL'C, CARTER and FRAISER stand beside the podium. The Color Guard marches into place, filling the space between the podium and the ranks of SGC staff. They put the flags into place, then march to participate in the flag-folding ceremony. 
Blue light from the wormhole reflects over the scene. Four soldiers on the ramp fold a large US flag into the proper memorial triangle. As they fold, HAMMOND prompts O'NEILL to deliver the eulogy.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL steps to the podium.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel Jackson…made this place…happen. As a member of SG-1…he was our voice; our conscience. He was a very courageous man. He was a good man. For those of us lucky enough to have known him, he was also a friend.</blockquote>

[The flag is completely folded; there is a brief ceremony as the honor guard places the flag into O'NEILL'S possession as DANIEL'S superior officer. TEAL'C, standing in as DANIEL'S family, is given the flag, which he holds to his chest. O'NEILL salutes and pivots. CARTER falls into step beside O'NEILL; together they march up the ramp towards the open Stargate. Taps is playing in the background. CARTER and O'NEILL pick up a memorial wreath at the top of the ramp, and place just inside the event horizon. The wormhole keeps it in place momentarily, then it disappears into the wormhole.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(at the podium) 
We commend Daniel Jackson's spirit to the Universe he opened up for us. 
(As the wreath disappears into the Stargate, O'NEILL and CARTER salute) 
I pledge to continue our journey of discovery in his memory. May he rest in peace.</blockquote>

[Taps finishes, as the wormhole fills the screen.]

'''INT—PLANET—AN UNDERWATER ROOM'''

[DANIEL is lying supine at the bottom of some steps; coughing. He is soaking wet. He pushes himself to his feet, looking around. The room is full of windows looking out at an underwater jungle of plants. Some kind of seaweed is growing through cracks in the floor and walls. Bubbles rise behind him; the sound of water moving is loud.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(shouting) 
Jack? Sam? Teal'c? 
(softly) 
…anyone?</blockquote>

[DANIEL looks scared; it's obvious that he's alone.]

'''EXT—O'NEILL'S HOME—DAY'''

[TEAL'C and CARTER walk down the sidewalk and up the walk to O'NEILL'S house. Inside the house, SGC staff, in civilian clothing, are gathered. People are drinking and eating, sharing stories of DANIEL.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to a woman) 
So we're sitting around eating some kind of gourmet, Abydonian cuisine. Daniel tells Sha're he's going to show us this cartouche thing, but before we leave, she stands up and plants a kiss on him that makes his face disappear for a day. 
(O'NEILL is grinning at the memory)</blockquote>

[O'NEILL places a dish on the table then walks out, the woman following him. CARTER and TEAL'C enter; CARTER is fidgeting with a bottle of wine. TEAL'C wears a straw hat that covers the emblem on his forehead.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I do not understand this ritual.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's called a wake.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
On Chu'lak when someone dies, it is a custom to not eat for three days and nights.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, well…a wake is like a big party; supposed to give the departed a jolly send off.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL calls from the table, where he is opening a bottle of beer.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sam, Teal'c. Glad you made it. Something to drink?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, sure. Beer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I must refrain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There's food upstairs.</blockquote>

[As O'NEILL pours CARTER'S beer, the foam rises. O'NEILL freezes, suddenly trapped in the middle of a flashback.]

'''FLASHBACK'''

[Bubbles rise in orange-tinted water; the bubbles turn into a fire with DANIEL standing in the middle, looking frightened.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(screaming) 
Argh! Jack! Help! Help!</blockquote>

'''END FLASHBACK'''

[The beer reaches the top of the glass, and O'NEILL snaps out of it. He places the glass on the table and strides out of the house. CARTER and TEAL'C look worried as they watch him leave; then they look at each other.]

'''INT—PLANET—UNDERSEA ROOM'''

[DANIEL squeezes water from his SGC jacket. Feeling a presence behind him, he slowly turns. A large, humanoid creature (NEM) with bluish mottled skin and an elaborate costume is standing behind him, staring. DANIEL stares at him, speechless for a moment.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Daniel. 
(he taps himself on the chest) 
Daniel Jackson. You? 
(NEM does not answer. Daniel hesitates, then starts again.) 
My friends, the…the others who came here with me…</blockquote>

[NEM points, and a panel in the wall slides open. It's covered with writing, which light up when exposed. DANIEL looks at the wall then at NEM, not sure what to do. NEM points at the wall. DANIEL shrugs and walks over to the exposed writing, studying it intently. He turns back to NEM.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It…it's a very old Earth writing. It's Cuneiform. 
(gestures to the writing) 
It…It's the first kind of writing we ever found on…on my world.</blockquote>

[DANIEL looks at NEM, who points insistently at the wall. DANIEL examines it again.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay. It's Akkadian, not Sumerian, so…It's a tough one. Let me think. 
(clears his throat) 
'Reveal…Fate…Om..more..ocka.' Reveal fate Omoroca. Reveal fate Omoroca? Omoroca, what is that? 
(raises his eyebrows) 
That's you?</blockquote>

[NEM walks up so he is almost touching DANIEL. He stares at him intently, hopefully.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No…something else? Reveal fate Omoroca. 
(He turns back to Nem) 
I'm sorry I don't know what you want me to do.</blockquote>

[NEM explodes with anger; he screams and lifts his hand. A bright light shoots out of his palm at DANIEL, who is sent flying across the room. He hits a wall and falls into a heap on the floor. NEM stands over him, showing his teeth, panting.-</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(desperate) 
I don't know what you want me to do! I don't understand!</blockquote>

[NEM growls, his face ferocious. DANIEL huddles on the floor, clearly trying not to anger the creature further.]

'''EXT—O'NEILLS HOME—DAY'''

[The wake is still going on inside. O'NEILL is armed with a hockey stick. He has a net set up between two cars, and is just shooting a line of balls into the net. He's obviously trying to work out some anger. One especially hard hit topples the net. O'NEILL bangs on the fallen net with his stick, then whirls around and slams the hockey stick through the driver's side window of one of the cars.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(furious) 
Come get this damn car out of here!</blockquote>

[HAMMOND and CARTER look up at the sudden noise. HAMMOND, mouthing "what the…?" walks over to join O'NEILL, surveying the car and the shattered glass littering the driveway. Most of the guests try to ignore the scene, but CARTER and TEAL'C watch.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What on your mind, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(quietly) 
Retirement, actually.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You don't mean that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(sighs) 
I think I do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, I can't let you do that. I've got an assignment for SG-1. 
(O'Neill closes his eyes and looks away.) 
Dr. Jackson's apartment needs to be closed by Stargate personnel. National Security aside, you're probably the closest thing he had to a family. It's not an order, it's a request.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(concerned) 
Why don't you come join the others in the back?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes sir.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND leads O'NEILL back to the house.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You know that's my car, don't you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You should get that window fixed.</blockquote>

'''INT—PLANET—UNDERWATER ROOM'''

[DANIEL seems to have made some progress; more of the writing is exposed.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
'If a free man…accuses another of murder, and fails to prove, the accuser shall be put to death.' Okay.</blockquote>

[DANIEL turns to look at NEM, who is standing silent, observing him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's interesting, but what the hell does it mean?</blockquote>

[NEM points to the writing.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(frustrated) 
Yeah, yeah. I…I know, I know what it is; it is…it's the legal code of some ancient Babylonian king, probably 2000 b.c. The question is—what does it have to do with me?</blockquote>

[NEM stares at him. This time, DANIEL stares right back, his gaze a challenge.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I want to see my friends. I'm not…I'm not going to translate another word of this until you…</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
What…speech?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(shocked) 
What? 
(he gestures to the writing) 
What…this one? Uh…it's Akkadian.</blockquote>

[NEM taps DANIEL on the shoulder.]

NEM 
What…speech?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, uh, oh, English. It's…it's much more modern…</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
What…fate…Omoroca?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I…I don't…I don't…I don't know. Look, my friends and I, we came here in peace. We're…we're explorers. We'll share information if we have it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
What fate Omoroca?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I…I…I…I don't…I don't know!</blockquote>

[NEM groans then walks to the other side of the room. DANIEL watches him, seemingly divided between anger and worry. Near the doorway, NEM pulls a lever. A small opening appears, with a small container inside.]

<blockquote>NEM 
Nourishment.</blockquote>

[He pushes another button, and a long, clear surface slides out of the wall.]

<blockquote>NEM 
Sleep.</blockquote>

[NEM walks toward the exit but pauses when DANIEL speaks.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(desperate) 
Look, um, I can't…I can't tell you what I don't know.</blockquote>

[NEM turns.]

<blockquote>NEM 
You will. Or you will die!</blockquote>

[DANIEL'S eyes widen; he looks at NEM. His mouth moves but no words come out. Clearly, he is not sure what to do next.]

'''EXT—APARTMENT BUILDING—DAY'''

'''INT—DANIEL'S APARTMENT—DAY'''

[There are bookcases everywhere, stuffed with books. Artifacts from all over the world cover every surface. CARTER is going through a bookcase along one wall. O'NEILL is examining something by the fireplace. TEAL'C is standing by the window, turning something over in his hands. There are several cardboard boxes on the floor, but they don't appear to have much in them.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh wow, look at these. Expedition journals, one for each planet we visited. 
(She pulls out a journal) 
One for Abydos.</blockquote>

[CARTER opens the journal and begins to read. A smile crosses her face and she chuckles. She reads aloud.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
'Colonel O'Neill thinks I'm a geek. I have no idea how to get us back. I'll never get paid.'</blockquote>

[CARTER looks over at O'NEILL, he rubs a hand over his face and doesn't comment. She turns the page and begins reading again.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh wow, he must have written this right after we got back. 'Sha're is gone, Jack says we'll find her. If anyone can, he can.'</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(disgusted) 
Ah, come on, that's his diary. I mean, what's he going to think if…</blockquote>

[O'NEILL stops, both he and CARTER look uneasy. She puts the book back on the shelf.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wonder what they're going to do with all this stuff.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Maybe give it to a museum? Or start one.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C is bent over some kind of game board, with holes for movement. Several cartouches are inscribed down the center. Pegs with heads like jackals and hounds are randomly placed, stopped in the middle of a game. TEAL'C rubs a hand across the board then picks up one of the hound-headed game pieces.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This is a game from ancient Egypt. It is called the Jackal and the Hound. It belonged to a Pharaoh's daughter. 
(Across the room, CARTER is looking at DANIEL'S fish tank.) 
Daniel Jackson and I once played. He said it made him feel as though he were touching history.</blockquote>

[CARTER'S gaze has become fixated on the bubbles in the fish tank. They trigger a sudden flashback.]

'''FLASHBACK'''

[Orange bubbles rise, and suddenly, DANIEL is there, engulfed in fire.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Help! Help!</blockquote>

<blockquote>There's a splash, and rush of blue water.</blockquote>

'''END FLASHBACK'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
Whoa!</blockquote>

[CARTER pushes away from the fish tank, her face shocked. O'NEILL grabs her by the upper arms.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What? What is it? You all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh, I…I just had this image in my mind. It's the second time.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Water…underwat…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Bubbles rising?</blockquote>

[CARTER nods.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
That is correct, I have experienced it as well.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm telling you something is wrong.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, what's wrong here, Colonel, is that Daniel is dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Is he?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You were there. We were all there!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Then why don't I believe it? I mean, I keep expecting him to walk through the door! I…I..I keep getting these… 
(He stops, working his mouth, bouncing on his heels, looking up at the ceiling, around the room.) 
Screw this packing, let's get back to the base.</blockquote>

'''INT—PLANET—UNDERWATER ROOM'''

[The door opens, NEM approaches. Clearly, there is water on the other side of the door, kept out of the underwater room by some kind of airlock. He walks over to DANIEL, who is resting wearily on the steps, his head in his hands. DANIEL looks up at NEM.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Where are my friends? Are they alive? Are they here somewhere? I demand that I be allowed to speak with them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
They are gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(shakes his head) 
No. 
(he rises to his feet, pointing at Nem) 
They would not leave without me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
You are no more.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Wha…They think that I'm…</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
This memory I gave them, so they would not return.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(despairingly) 
Why? Why are you doing this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
You are oldest. You know of Babylon. What fate Omoroca?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay. Okay. If my life is on the line here, I need to know more. What is Omoroca? WHO is Omoroca?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
(emotionally) 
My MATE!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(in disbelief) 
What? On Earth? In…in Babylon?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And you don't know what's happened to her? That was four thousand years ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
Knowledge. You have knowledge!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Of Babylon, yes! But only a…a small amount of knowledge has survived all that time!</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
The knowledge is there.</blockquote>

[NEM slaps one hand against DANIEL'S temple. DANIEL freezes, watching him warily.]

<blockquote>NEM 
In your mind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay, you are asking me to remember something…that happened thousands and thousands of years before I was born. To…to tell you something, that I…I couldn't possibly know!</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
You deceive!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(angrily) 
Why? God, why, why, why would I do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
You serve the Goa'uld!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No! No! Now I lost my wife, my…my mate, because of the Goa'uld! They took her from me. And I despise them for that!</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
Then tell me…what fate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I DON'T KNOW!!!</blockquote>

[NEM growls in frustration. Obviously angry, he turns and walks away from DANIEL.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(shouting) 
I don't know!</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY—DAY'''

[O'NEILL, CARTER and TEAL'C are gathered around FRAISER.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Well, your brain chemistry has been seriously compromised. All of you have abnormally low levels of serotonin.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Which means…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It's a neurotransmitter that effects moods. Now, low levels would account for depression, but not these other effects. Come here. I want you to take a look at this. 
(Fraiser leads them to a computer. On screen is a model of a human brain. She points, outlining an area with her finger.) 
This dark spot here appears on all of your scans. Now, it's almost too small an anomaly to worry about but for the fact that it's in virtually the same part of the cortex…</blockquote>

[An alarm claxon sounds. O'NEILL, TEAL'C and CARTER immediately rush from the room.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
(over loudspeaker) 
Off world activation. Repeat, off world activation!</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Colonel? Wait!</blockquote>

[FRAISER runs after SG-1, motioning for a nurse and a guard in the corridor.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Come on. All three run after SG-1, who come to a stop in the Gate room. They watch with smiles as a man who appears to be DANIEL walks down the ramp and takes off his helmet. He turns and looks at them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Colonel?</blockquote>

[The smiles die as the man turns; it's not DANIEL, but an older, bald soldier, who stares at them, expressionless.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
(over intercom) 
Welcome home SG-6. Report for debriefing at 1600 hours.</blockquote>

[Several soldiers walk past them; the man who they thought was DANIEL leaves the room with them.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
What…what are you looking for?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(confused) 
I just…I thought that…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(frowning) 
…Daniel Jackson was returning.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh my God, I thought the same thing. Why? Is he gone, or isn't he?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
(carefully) 
You…You saw it happen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Somebody want to tell me what the hell is going on? Because I am starting to lose it here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Doctor?</blockquote>

[HAMMOND enters the Gate room.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
General, uh…there seems to be some question in their minds as to whether or not Dr. Jackson is dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, you three were the only witnesses. If you're denying what you saw…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No sir. I saw him die. We all did. I know he's gone. 
(hesitates) 
But I know he's still alive. 
(determined) 
Sir, we have got to go ba…</blockquote>

[O'NEILL suddenly cries out in pain; he grasps his head and presses his hands against his temples.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You're not going anywhere but the Infirmary!</blockquote>

[CARTER and a nurse help O'NEILL out of the Gate room. HAMMOND turns to FRAISER.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I want to know what's going on, Doctor. One of our people could still be out there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Yes sir.</blockquote>

[As FRAISER follows SG-1 out of the Gate room, HAMMOND turns to look at the silent Stargate.]

'''INT—PLANET—UNDWATER ROOM'''

[DANIEL is searching for a way out, trying to work the latch on the airlock. He thumps the door and the wall around it. He turns as there's an odd noise. NEM comes in through another entrance. He has dispensed with the impressive and intimidating outfit from earlier. His clothing now looks more utilitarian.]

<blockquote>NEM 
You cannot leave this place.</blockquote>

[DANIEL rolls his eyes and thunks his head against the wall.]

<blockquote>NEM 
You will tell me all you know of Babylon.</blockquote>

[DANIEL sits on the floor, gazing bleakly at NEM.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Do you know how much has been lost? Great libraries burned to the ground…cities destroyed by wars. Most of our history is buried in time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
You are afraid.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(quietly) 
Yes, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that you're asking the impossible of me and you will not allow me return home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
Omoroca was afraid.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Wha…wha? On Earth?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Of what? Of who? I mean…give me something to work with here; a…a time frame!</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
Babylon.</blockquote>

[DANIEL closes his eyes and lets his head fall backward to hit the wall. He shakes his head. NEM continues to stare.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
A…a name, a name of someone she spoke of.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
Belus.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Belus. Belus… 
(Daniel concentrates, his eyes flickering as he runs through his memories.) 
Belus…Something…Yes. 
(Daniel gets to his feet, approaching Nem to study him) 
Yes…um…Belus something. Yes. In the writing of Berossus, a contemporary of Alexander the Great. He studied some very old, ancient Babylonian text. Pre-flood. 
(He makes a wordless sound of exasperation) 
Tell me more.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
Omoroca feared Belus.</blockquote>

[DANIEL starts pacing around the small space. NEM watches him closely.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes. Yes, he was a conqueror. Tell me more; I need more. 
(Nem stares at him blankly.) 
Come on…Come on, you cannot expect me to remember every book, every text that I studied ten or twelve years ago! Look, come back to Earth with me. My..my books, my library, they're all there!</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
(angrily) 
You serve the Goa'uld!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(using his hands for emphasis) 
NO! God, no! How many times do I have to tell you? No!</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
It is the fate of humans. That, Omoroca could not prevent.</blockquote>

[NEM walks towards DANIEL, who stares at him with sudden curiosity.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Omoroca came to Earth to fight the Goa'uld? That is why she came to Earth?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Then my people owe her a great debt.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
She failed!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No. No, there was a…an uprising, a rebellion in Ancient Egypt. I mean, maybe she helped plant the seed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
Goa'uld are among you, within you!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(realization dawns) 
Teal'c? You think because Teal'c carries around a larval Goa'uld…? No, you see he joined us in the fight against the Goa'uld. You see, in the years…in the thousands of years, since Omoroca was there; we have become a civilization that rivals that of the Goa'uld. That's how far we've come. We are free! If…if you'd just come back with me, I can show you!</blockquote>

[NEM searches DANIEL'S face. His expression is confused, but only for a moment. His face hardens.]

<blockquote>NEM 
Knowledge is here!</blockquote>

[This time, NEM wraps both hands around DANIEL'S head. DANIEL stares at him.]

'''INT—SCG BRIEFING ROOM'''

[A tape recorder is playing the sound of waves. O'NEILL and TEAL'C are seated on one side of the table, HAMMOND is at the head. MACKENZIE, CARTER and FRAISER are on the other side.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Catchy tune. Want to explain to me what this…mood music is all about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Dr. Mackenzie said it might help you remember more specifically what happened, if you listen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MACKENZIE 
We're simply using these sounds as a tool to increase your as level of concentration, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, it's very distracting. Look, we're trying to play…</blockquote>

[O'NEILL stops, distracted by TEAL'C, who is staring into space, a deeper frown than usual on his face.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c?</blockquote>

[TEAL'C, listening to the sound of water, has a flashback.]

'''FLASHBACK'''

[Among orange bubbles that turn into fire, DANIEL screams.]

'''END FLASHBACK'''

[TEAL'C jumps to his feet, shouting something in Goa'uld. O'NEILL quickly stands up and put an arm around TEAL'C.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, snap out of it!</blockquote>

[MACKENZIE looks intrigued.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I…I saw the death of Daniel Jackson.</blockquote>

[MACKENZIE turns off the recorder and makes a notation.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(gently) 
It's all right. The same thing keeps happening to me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MACKENZIE 
All three of you have conflicting feeling about Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I know he's dead; I know he's alive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MACKENZIE 
Both realities can't be true, yet both seem to be.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It's a conflict that will have to be resolved, before I'll authorize your return back to active duty, Colonel.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C sinks down to his seat. O'NEILL blinks, then nods.]

'''INT—PLANET—UNDERWATER ROOM'''

[DANIEL is sitting on the floor, NEM towers over him, watching.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
My friends, the others who came here with me…you made them think that I was…</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
Lost to them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Dead. NEM 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
I gave them the memory of your death.</blockquote>

[DANIEL rises to his feet, approaching NEM.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
If you can influence memory like that, why don't you search my mind? You say the memory is in there; that I must have come across it years ago and I…I just don't remember it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Then take it! I mean, if you have the power, if you have the technology, use it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
(hesitating) 
It would damage!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, given my options, I am willing to take the risk.</blockquote>

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

[DANIEL seems a bit confused by this. He searches NEM'S face. NEM turns and walks away, his face downcast. DANIEL places a hand on his shoulder, stopping him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Look…</blockquote>

[NEM turns his head to look at DANIEL; DANIEL looks down at his hand, then removes it.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I don't have four thousand years. Maybe you can afford to search all that time, but I can't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
There will be much pain. 
(He looks at Daniel, staring at him) 
You may die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, I would rather die than stay here in the knowledge that I would never see my wife, or my friends again.</blockquote>

[NEM and DANIEL stare at each other wordlessly.]

'''EXT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[O'NEILL, TEAL'C, HAMMOND, MACKENZIE, CARTER and FRAISER are still seated in the same positions.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
The uh, fire Daniel was caught in, lashed out toward us…overwhelmed us when we went to help…It was…hot…It was very hot…Uh…there was water, a body…a body of water nearby. 
(O'Neill drums the table with his fingertips) 
Sir, how many times are we going to have to go through this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Try to bear with me, Colonel. How long do you estimate you were on the other side of the Gate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Umm…twenty minutes…twenty-five maybe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Half hour, tops.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Teal'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I concur.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You were gone almost four hours.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C, CARTER and O'NEILL look at HAMMOND with astonishment.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't think that's possible, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I can show you the mission logs if you want.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What happened to the other three and a half hours?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MACKENZIE 
I have had a great deal of success with hypnosis.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hypnosis. You know, I am not a big fan of that bark like a chicken, cluck like a dog stuff.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Colonel, please. Hypnosis is a modern, therapeutic practice.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
On me, I do not believe your procedure will be successful.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, can't we go about this the old-fashioned way? Request permission to go back through that Gate, and find out what the hell happened.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(shouting) 
NO!!!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, we can't do that! 
(Carter looks confused, gazing at the people watching her reaction) 
I…I don't know why I just said that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MACKENZIE 
If that isn't a conditioned response, I don't know what is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So…someone's been messing with our heads.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MACKENZIE 
There is one way to find out.</blockquote>

[MACKENZIE stares at O'NEILL, who looks away.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, I've had some experience with hypnosis in an undergrad psyc course. Let me take a shot at it.</blockquote>

[CARTER and HAMMOND look to O'NEILL, who raises a hand in surrender. CARTER nods.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(to Mackenzie) 
I volunteer.</blockquote>

[MACKENZIE nods, O'NEILL looks at them.]

'''INT —SGC—LABRATORY'''

[CARTER is seated under a lamp; her eyes closed. MACKENZIE is sitting to her right. O'NEILL is tucked into a corner in back of them.]

<blockquote>MACKENZIE 
You're now completely relaxed. I want you to go back to the day you last saw Daniel. He's with you now. Can you see it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes.</blockquote>

'''FLASHBACK'''

[Flashback of DANIEL standing in fire.]

'''END FLASHBACK'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
(jumping) 
Burning!</blockquote>

<blockquote>MACKENZIE 
No. Go back further. You've just arrived. Now look around, and tell me where you are.</blockquote>

'''FLASHBACK'''

[CARTER flashes on a sea.]

'''END FLASHBACK'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
Water.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MACKENZIE 
You're standing next to water?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Salt water.</blockquote>

'''FLASHBACK'''

[SG-1 is walking on through dunes, approaching a beach. The sky is very blue, and there are two moons in the background. Flames occasionally errupt from mini-volcanoes scattered across the land.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Looks like some kind of…ocean.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER drops her helmet and collects several samples of the sand. DANIEL scans the beach with a small video camera. He stops when something in the water catches his attention.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What…what's that thing out there?</blockquote>

[SG-1 study the ocean. Bubbles in the water move in a direct path toward the beach. DANIEL starts to film again. There's a quick movement, and something green, similar to a fin or an arm comes out of the water behind the bubbles. DANIEL drops the camera, looking at his teammates.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Did you see that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's coming right towards us.</blockquote>

[The bubbles grow closer, then NEM suddenly walks out of the water onto the beach. O'NEILL and TEAL'C grip their weapons purposefully, aiming them at the creature. NEM pauses to study DANIEL, then looks over the rest of the team. His attention seems to be caught by TEAL'C. NEM passes DANIEL to place his hand over the place where TEAL'C'S pouch contains his symbiote. He looks up quickly at TEAL'C's face, then backs away. Beside DANIEL, NEM bends down writes something in the sand. Cuniform. DANIEL studies the writing, then looks up at NEM with astonishment.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh…it's…it's Cuneiform. 
(O'Neill shrugs, lost.) 
I think he wants to know if we're from the world that built Babylon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL bends down and writes a reply. NEM studies what DANIEL wrote, then looks up at TEAL'C. DANIEL rises to his feet, smiling.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm…I'm Daniel, this is Jack…</blockquote>

[NEM screams, raising his hand to shoot a beam of white light at SG-1. They fall to the ground, covering their ears.]

'''END FLASHBACK'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
(crying, desperate) 
Help him!</blockquote>

<blockquote>MACKENZIE 
I want you to move on to what happened next.</blockquote>

[CARTER concentrates.]

'''FLASHBACK'''

[CARTER sees water.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(in present) 
Darkness…</blockquote>

[CARTER is lying on a clear table, with straps across her forehead, chin, arms and legs. Machinery is around her. Her eyes are open, but not focused on anything.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(in present) 
Cold…</blockquote>

[Bubbles rise to the top of a large tube.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(in present) 
Wet…</blockquote>

[TEAL'C is secured in the same manner. The bubbles turn orange as they rise. O'NEILL appears to be upright, but he is strapped to the table in the same fashion. The bubbles rise, this time they're green. Behind the bubbles, NEM is staring at CARTER.]

'''END FLASHBACK'''

[In the present, CARTER jumps, crying out.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We've got to get to the water!</blockquote>

'''FLASHBACK'''

[There's the sound of violent water movement. O'NEILL, TEAL'C and CARTER follow a trail of bubbles, and pop to the surface of the sea, and swim frantically back toward shore.]

'''END FLASHBACK'''

<blockquote>MACKENZIE 
Captain!</blockquote>

[In the lab, CARTER has jumped from the chair.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We've got to get out of here!</blockquote>

[CARTER seems hysterical. O'NEILL grabs her by the shoulders, shaking her.]

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

[CARTER blinks, coming back to realization. She's has tears on her face and seems to be hyperventilating.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh my God, Colonel. We left him behind! Left him behind!</blockquote>

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

[O'NEILL pulls CARTER into a comforting hug. He seems to need the reassurance just as much as she does.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's all right. We're going back…We're going back.</blockquote>

'''EXT—PLANET— UNDERWATER ROOM'''

[DANIEL is strapped to an odd-looking contraption. The frame is circular, and DANIEL is in a seated position, held in place with clear straps across his forehead, chin, wrists and ankles. NEM is standing beside the machine. DANIEL looks nervous, but determined.]

<blockquote>NEM 
The memory of your history, your race, is within you. Beneath the surface.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I hope so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
(warning) 
You may be damaged.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I understand.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
You could die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, we don't really have a choice, do we?</blockquote>

[NEM studies DANIEL for a moment, then turns away. He walks to the control panel.]

<blockquote>NEM 
Remember Omoroca.</blockquote>

[NEM turns on the machine. There's a low humming sound; two bright lights appear, shining down on the area around DANIEL'S head. DANIEL closes his eyes.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Omoroca. 
(makes pain-filled noise) 
Omoroca. 
(Daniel gasps painfully) 
'And in that place there was Omoroca…A women who came forth from the heavenly egg…' 
(Daniel's forehead creases, and he cries out) 
…Unh…unh…I can't!</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
More.</blockquote>

[NEM turns up the machine. The whine of power increases.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I can't! 
(Daniel gasps, but concentrates again. His breathing becomes tortured, but he continues) 
'Who walked among men by day…but at night…she would retreat to the great sea to sleep.' 
(gasps) 
'One of the beings called Oannes…'</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
Yes…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Omoroca…</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
Yes…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Omoroca?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
More!</blockquote>

[NEM turns the beam up higher. The pitch is painful in itself. DANIEL winces with pain.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Unh…unh…unh….'The God Belus, came down unto Babylon…onto the place of Omoroca…and cut the woman asunder!' Oh God!!! Oh God, he killed her! Unh, unh, unh…</blockquote>

[NEM looks shocked, staring at DANIEL in horror. DANIEL screams in pain, and NEM shakes himself and manages to turn off the machine. NEM rushes to free DANIEL, who is gasping with pain and crying.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Unh…I'm…I'm sorry…I'm sorry…That's all I ever knew…I swear.</blockquote>

[DANIEL, still breathing hard, turns to looks at NEM, sympathy in his eyes.]

<blockquote>NEM 
Belus.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
He was a Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
Yes. He murdered my love!</blockquote>

[NEM trembles with suppressed emotions. DANIEL gazes at him, raising his head from the chair.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm sorry.</blockquote>

[NEM shakes his head, then raises it and screams to the heavens with grief and rage.]

'''EXT—PLANET—BEACH—DAY'''

[O'NEILL, TEAL'C and CARTER run between the mini volcanoes toward the ocean. They stop just out of reach of the waves.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(shouting) 
Daniel!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Maybe we're too late.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're not leaving without him this time, cap…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL stops as he hears the sound of water bubbling. All three aim their weapons at the trail of bubbles coming closer.</blockquote>

'''INT—PLANET—UNDERWATER ROOM—DAY'''

[DANIEL is standing at the window. As he touches the surface, his hand goes into the water. Taking a deep breath, DANIEL walks into the water and swims away, toward the surface.]

'''EXT—PLANET—BEACH—DAY'''

[The bubbles stop, and NEM walks toward TEAL'C. All three solders aim their weapons, ready to fire. Before they can say anything DANIEL bursts out of the water, gasping for air. O'NEILL, TEAL'C and CARTER look at him with startled surprise.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Don't shoot!</blockquote>

[DANIEL coughs and swims to them. He stumbles out of the water and onto the beach, moving to stand before NEM.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Nem, you have your answer. Now let us go.</blockquote>

[As DANIEL stares at him, pleading, NEM turns to look at his teammates. He looks back to DANIEL.]

<blockquote>NEM 
You may go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm sorry I couldn't give you the answer you wanted.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
I am sorry also.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We could still become friends, your people…and…and mine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's why we were here; we meant no harm.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NEM 
Perhaps, in time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Right.</blockquote>

[NEM turns back to look intently at DANIEL.]

<blockquote>NEM 
And in time, Daniel, you will find…what fate Sha're.</blockquote>

[DANIEL nods uncertainly. The team watches silently as NEM heads back into the water. He dives back into the sea and disappears. DANIEL looks at his team. O'NEILL shakes his head, his sunglasses hiding his eyes. CARTER smiles. They walk to encircle him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ah, this…this is a long story.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, I'll bet!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Tell us about it over Sushi?</blockquote>

[DANIEL stares, momentarily speechless, at O'NEILL, who's laughing.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's funny. Uh, I will, after I go get some sleep.</blockquote>

[DANIEL heads for the Stargate. His team walks around him, smiling.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah, home. Yeah about that apartment…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, you didn't!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The, um, day after the memorial service.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The memorial service?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The colonel said some really nice things.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
He…he did. He did?</blockquote>

[SG-1 walks across the dunes in the direction of the Stargate.]

'''TEASER'''

'''FADE IN'''

'''EXT—CHULAK—A LARGE TENT'''

[A number of alien priests are beginning a ceremony, and a Goa'uld larva is seen in a large glass jar. Teal'c enters, wearing armour and carrying a staff weapon. A young boy, seemingly unconscious, is lying on a bed. The priests uncover a Goa'uld pouch on the boy's stomach. Suddenly, the scene changes to Teal'c lying on the bed. One of the priests is holding the larva, obviously preparing to implant Teal'c.]

<blockquote>PRIEST 
Teal'c.</blockquote>

[Teal'c starts to struggle and is held down by the other priests.]

<blockquote>PRIEST 
Teal'c.</blockquote>

[The larva is seen entering Teal'c's pouch as Teal'c yells. The little boy is seen walking around the tent, looking around at Teal'c.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Rya'c! Rya'c!</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Teal'c wakes suddenly, obviously distressed.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Rya'c! Rya'c!</blockquote>

[O'Neill, Daniel and Carter are in the observation room, looking down on Teal'c.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL (via a microphone) 
Teal'c!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Rya'c!</blockquote>

[A gowned and masked Doctor Fraiser walks up to Teal'c's bedside.]

<blockquote>DR. FRAISER 
Easy! It's okay now. 
(To SG-1) 
He's coming around.</blockquote>

[Teal'c slowly becomes conscious, while the rest of SG-1 look down on him, very concerned.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The goa'uld within me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL (via a microphone) 
They had to put Junior back in, Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR.FRAISER 
We almost lost you. The drug didn't work, Teal'c. I'm sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL (via a microphone) 
You were calling out something—Rya'c. Does that mean anything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It means nothing.</blockquote>

'''FADE OUT'''

'''END OF TEASER—OPENING CREDITS'''

'''EXT—SGC TUNNEL ENTRANCE'''

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

<blockquote>DR. FRAISER 
As soon as we removed Teal'c's goa'uld, his major organs began to shut down and he ran a high fever.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
So the drug failed?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DR. FRAISER 
Yes. But it proves that the goa'uld is Teal'c's immune system. Now, if we can learn about it and safely duplicate its effect, we can save lives on Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Without killing Teal'c in the process.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, I guess the boys in Langley won't be able to study a goa'uld after all.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is still a possibility.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Teal'c, you can't. You don't have an immune system without your goa'uld. We can't play with your life like that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
There are many hundreds of goa'uld larvae on Chulak.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Chulak?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, right…you're kidding. Right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is one of the few worlds in all the galaxy with such an abundance.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah, but Teal'c, uhh…if you recall, last time we were there…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
…we had to shoot our way out. Maybe made a bad impression…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It's out of the question. I can't authorise it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Then I will speak of it no further.</blockquote>

[Teal'c rises and walks out of the room.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Dismissed.</blockquote>

[Hammond exits to his office. O'Neill, Daniel, Carter and Dr. Fraiser rise.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What was that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't know. I'll find out.</blockquote>

[O'Neill leaves the room.]

'''INT—TEAL'C'S QUARTERS'''

[A candle is burning. There is knocking at the door. The door opens and O'Neill enters.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Mind if I…</blockquote>

[Teal'c is silent, but glances at O'Neill, making O'Neill uncomfortable. Teal'c is sitting cross-legged on the floor, with a semicircle of candles in front of him.]

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

[O'Neill enters and shuts the door. Teal'c is staring straight ahead.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Look, um, I'm sorry if I didn't…</blockquote>

[O'Neill gestures and pauses.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You do understand why we can't go back to Chulak, right?</blockquote>

[Teal'c looks up at O'Neill as O'Neill shrugs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They'll get that drug to work long before that thing dies inside you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am not concerned about my life. I am concerned for the life of my son.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Your son?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
His name is Rya'c. I have not spoken of him, or of my wife.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks surprised and sits at Teal'c's desk.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You left…a family back there?</blockquote>

[O'Neill places his head in his hands.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, you told the G…no, you swore to the General you had no ties back there. Why didn't you tell us the truth?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
A warrior becomes vulnerable if his family is held hostage to the enemy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You didn't think we'd trust you if we knew. Teal'c, how the hell are we supposed to trust you now? Huh? You got any more surprises?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
With or without you, O'Neill, I must return to Chulak.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Either way it's suicide, my friend.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Within days, my son will come of age. He will be called to the religious life of our world. He will undergo the ceremony of implantation. The prim'ta. The day when a young boy receives his first goa'uld symbiote, and becomes a true Jaffa. Just as all other Jaffa before him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I take it you don't want that to happen?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is the means by which the goa'uld enslave the Jaffa. I am not the only one among my people who believes this. My first teacher, the Jaffa Master Bra'tac, he knew very well the goa'uld are false gods. But I can not…I will not allow my son to become a slave.</blockquote>

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Absolutely not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
With respect, Sir, we've considered the risks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You have, have you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, and we are all behind Teal'c, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I can see that. What I can't see is why.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We believe there's more to be gained from this mission than a single larval Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Such as?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The warrior Jaffa class are the foundation of Goa'uld power, they serve as both incubators for their young and as their army. An army made almost invulnerable by the restorative powers of the Goa'uld larva they carry. I mean, it's, it's literally a Faustian bargain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c claims there are other Jaffa who believe in freedom from the Goa'uld as much as he does.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Imagine the strategic advantage, sir, if we could undermine the loyalty of the very group the Goa'uld depend on to maintain their power.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How many of these other jaffa can you be sure of?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're pretty sure of at least…one guy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
One?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, and, and where there's one there has to be more than…one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Oh absolutely. Colonel, would you join me in my office a moment?</blockquote>

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

'''INT—HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Shut the door.</blockquote>

[O'Neill closes the door.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Have a seat, Jack.</blockquote>

[O'Neill sits, as does Hammond.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This is not my first barbeque, Colonel.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'd love to get a Goa'uld larva that the lab coats at Langley can study but I don't order my best people on a mission behind enemy lines unless I think it's absolutely necessary.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I believe it is Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Why? There's something you're not telling me Colonel. If you don't want to come clean about the real motivation behind this mission, then fine. The mission is not approved. You will go where I tell you to go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sir, please…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Dismissed!</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks through the window to Carter and Daniel and then stands.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, Teal'c has a son.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What did you say?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Back on Chulak. His kid's about to be implanted with one of those larva things, at a ceremony and Teal'c wants to stop it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why, Sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Teal'c was an enemy soldier. He's compromised.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, he was afraid we wouldn't trust him if we knew he had a family back there. Was he right? When Teal'c saved our lives on Chulak, he gave up his family, Sir. Don't you think we owe him something?</blockquote>

[Alarms blare. O'Neill, Daniel, Carter and Hammond run to the control room. Teal'c is in his Serpent Guard uniform dialling the Stargate.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Teal'c!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What are you doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Stand back from the keyboard.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am returning to Chulak for my son.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
No. I'm sorry I can't let you do that.</blockquote>

[A couple of SFs appear, guns cocked and pointed at Teal'c. O'Neill steps towards Teal'c as Daniel and Carter look on, concerned.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on Teal'c, don't do it this way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I will risk no one's life but my own. Why will you not let me return?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You know far too much about this command, this facility, our defences. I can't let that kind of knowledge fall into enemy hands.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I will die before allowing that to happen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Dammit Teal'c, that's just what's going to happen if you go through that Gate alone.</blockquote>

[Teal'c and Hammond stare at each other.]

HAMMOND 
Which is why I am inclined to authorise a mission to return to Chulak and allow you to bring your son back.</blockquote>

[Teal'c stops the dialling sequence.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Thank you General Hammond.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
When is this ceremony supposed to happen?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Within the day.</blockquote>

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[The Stargate engages. SG-1 enter disguised as priests while Teal'c is in a Serpent Guard uniform.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Daniel? The glasses.</blockquote>

[They walk onto the ramp.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
O'Neill? I am in your debt.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah, it's nothing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We shall return.</blockquote>

[Teal'c's helmet closes.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ready to ship out, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Godspeed Colonel.</blockquote>

[SG-1 walk through the Gate.]

'''EXT—CHULAK'''

[Waiting on the other side are priests and Jaffa. The priests walk up to Teal'c.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
These are scholars from the court of Apophis. I am to escort them to the temple.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PRIEST #1 
Why do you not show your face my lord?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
My helmet was damaged in combat. It must be repaired.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PRIEST #1 
Perhaps I can help.</blockquote>

[He reaches towards the helmet but Teal'c grabs his hand.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Nemet, kree! You dare touch me priest?</blockquote>

[The priest is on his knees, in obvious pain.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I shall tell Apophis of your vigilance, priest. You shall be rewarded.</blockquote>

[Teal'c marches off and SG-1 follow.]

'''EXT—FOREST ON CHULAK'''

[SG-1, who are back in uniform, are hiding the robes under some bushes and removing the temporary marks of Apophis from their foreheads.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We will go directly to my former home. The ceremony should take place there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right Teal'c, show us the way.</blockquote>

[SG-1 walk down a slope towards a clearing containing a burnt-out building. Teal'c runs up to it as they near.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, is this your..?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
My former home. A gift from Apophis for many years of service.</blockquote>

[Teal'c walks around to the rear and sinks to his knees, distressed and near tears. A sword/serpent mark has been painted on the side of the building. The rest of SG-1 come up to Teal'c'c position.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What does this mark mean? I don't recognise this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This was the home of shol'va.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to O'Neill and Carter) 
Traitor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well it looks like this happened a long time ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Teal'c, there's no reason to believe your wife and son were in the house when this happened.</blockquote>

[Teal'c gets up and goes inside, smashing at the burnt wood. He is obviously devastated by what he has seen.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, Carter's right. You don't know what's happened here.</blockquote>

[A man suddenly appears placing his staff weapon against O'Neill's neck.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Obi tan! Shreek! Shreek! Shreek!</blockquote>

[Teal'c comes outside.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Tek matte Bra'tac.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is good to see you, friend.</blockquote>

[Teal'c and Bra'tac embrace.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Were I an enemy, you would be dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
My wife and son?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
I am told they escaped the burning. I thought you might return in time for your boy's ceremony, Teal'c. Brave, but unwise.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If you were awaiting my return, perhaps there are others?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Others don't know you as I do. But I expected you to come alone.

TEAL'C 
They are friends. Colonel O'Neill. Captain Carter. Daniel Jackson. Warriors of great skill and cunning.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(smiling) 
Oh, Teal'c, that's…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
My first teacher, Bra'tac. The greatest Jaffa master I have ever known.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's an honour to meet you, Sir.</blockquote>

[Bra'tac walks to O'Neill but ignores him, going to Carter instead.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
You, you are among the warriors who defeated the palace guard at Chulak? A human woman?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hey, I'll have you know I kicked my…</blockquote>

[He moves on to Daniel.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
And you? A warrior of great skill and cunning?</blockquote>

[Bra'tac grabs Daniel's wrist, as though to bite it.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
I could snap you like kindling! How could you bring these hashack with you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O`NEILL 
Hey! Hey! Hey! Who you calling a hassock? 
(turning to Daniel) 
What's a hassock?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
You challenge me hashack?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah, no. I don't think we came to fight you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
A shame.</blockquote>

[He turns and swings back to knock O'Neill with his staff weapon. O'Neill grabs the weapon and knocks him on the floor with the staff poised over him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're here on a mission. If you don't want to be a part of it, just say so.</blockquote>

[Bra'tac laughs.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
You choose your friends well Teal'c. Though were I a hundred years younger, it might not have been quite so easy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You're over a hundred years old? God, I'm sorry.</blockquote>

[O'Neill reaches down to help him up but Bra'tac grabs him and throws him to the floor.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
A hundred and thirty three.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You must work out.</blockquote>

[Bra'tac reaches to help O'Neill up.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
No one has ever defied the Goa'uld and lived to tell of it. There was much talk in Chulak of the warriors of Earth.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Our time here is limited. Can you take us to find my wife and son?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Your family is kreshta. Outcasts. The kreshta live in a handful of camps outside the city. I do not know which one your family belongs to.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Then we should begin now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I will not leave Chulak without seeing my son.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Captain, I want you and Daniel to go back to the Stargate, take up positions where you can lay down cover fire. We might need it.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ah, a minute ago we were warriors of great skill and cunning.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Wait there for us for 24 hours. If we're not back by then, we probably won't be.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, Sir. We'll be waiting. Good luck, Sir.</blockquote>

[Daniel and Carter walk away.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If we are discovered, you will be brought before Apophis along with us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, we'll just have to cross that bridge when we come to it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
No. The bridge is too well guarded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, actually there, I was using a cliché that…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Kal shak my friend. Honour us with your guidance.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
We go south. Those camps nearest the city. I believe your wife would go there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I agree.</blockquote>

[They walk off leaving O'Neill standing.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
South is good.</blockquote>

[He follows.]

'''INT—ROAD THROUGH FOREST ON CHULAK'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey Teal'c! Maybe Bra'tac's feeling a little tired, might want to take a little rest…</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
You will follow. Teal'c and I will lead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, no, no. Actually you see, I'm in charge here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
The Stargate is well patrolled. Your deceptions will not work a second time. You need my help to stay alive, human.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, all right. Whatever, I'm easy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Teal'c tells me your world is without gods. Difficult to imagine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well it's not without gods. A lot of people believe there's a god. Not everyone believes in the same god, the same way but…let's just say nobody believes in anyone with glowing eyes and a snake in his head.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Then you serve no one?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I serve the SGC under a General Hammond.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
So this Hammond is…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Just a man. A very good, very bald man…from Texas.</blockquote>

'''EXT—ANOTHER PART OF THE FOREST ON CHULAK'''

[Carter and Daniel are making their way through the trees.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Poor Teal'c. What he must have gone through keeping quiet about his family.</blockquote>

[Carter stops Daniel quickly and they duck. A procession of priests and priestesses is passing. Two of the priests are carrying a heavy container.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jaffa priests. That's Apophis' emblem.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What are they carrying?</blockquote>

[Suddenly, a bell tolls.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What's that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's a bell.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
As in a church bell?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Probably.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Haven't been to church in a while.</blockquote>

[Daniel and Carter follow the priests.]

'''INT—ROAD THROUGH FOREST ON CHULAK'''

[O'Neill, Teal'c and Bra'tac walk to an overhang overlooking the camp. People scream and run into shelters as they see the Jaffa uniforms. Teal'c notices a tent on the far side of the camp. He runs down through the village towards the tent. Inside a priest is holding a glowing hand device over Rya'c's stomach. Teal'c bursts in.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Priest! Stand aside!</blockquote>

<blockquote>PRIEST #2 
Teal'c. The traitor.</blockquote>

[The priest goes to pick up a knife.]

<blockquote>PRIEST #2 
You dare to show yourself, shol'va?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I have no wish to harm you, priest.</blockquote>

[Teal'c drops his weapon and raises his arms to the side.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
But I will not allow you to perform the primta on my son.</blockquote>

[The priest attacks Teal'c who fights back. A hooded person enters the tent and jumps on Teal'c's back. Teal'c pushes the priest away, who falls on a table smashing the bowl containing the Goa'uld. Teal'c restrains the other person and removes their hood. It is a woman.]

<blockquote>WOMAN 
Teal'c.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Bra'tac arrive.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And this would be?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
My wife. Drey-Auc.</blockquote>

[Drey-Auc gets up and looks over at the priest. O'Neill goes to him and turns him over. He has fallen on his knife and is dead, as is the larva.]

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
(to Teal'c) 
I had to beg the priest to perform the ceremony. They bought the tablet and the tent for the primta all the way to camp. Why have you returned?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
My son will not be a slave, Drey-Auc. He will taste freedom. As I have.</blockquote>

[O'Neill lifts the larva from the floor, checking that it is dead.]

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
Freedom Teal'c? You have condemned your son to death.</blockquote>

'''EXT—FOREST ON CHULAK'''

[O'Neill and Bra'tac drag the priest away from the tent.]

'''INT—TENT ON CHULAK'''

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
Your heresy is an abomination, Teal'c. Even by the outcasts I am shunned.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The abomination is my people enslaved by the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
How can you call the gods that you served for so long, your enemy?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Since the Earth people opened my eyes. The Primta is slavery.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
Did you see where I am raising your son? Is this better than the home that Apophis granted you as first prime?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
You have abandoned and betrayed us. Do you know what I have endured to convince the priests that we are still loyal? They were about to lift the banishment so that we could return to the city!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
So you want this more for yourself than for our son?</blockquote>

[Drey-Auc hits Teal'c.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I will speak to him.</blockquote>

[Teal'c tries to wake Rya'c as Drey-Auc fights to remove Teal'c's hands from the boy.]

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
No, no. He believes you are dead!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Dead?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
It is easier than the truth.</blockquote>

[Teal'c grabs Drey-Auc.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What have you told him, woman?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
What would you have me tell him? That a father left his son for people he does not know? Who are not his blood? You tell him that, husband, you witness the dishonour in his eyes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Drey-Auc…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
Come. Carry your son back to the hovel that has become his home.</blockquote>

[Teal'c carries Rya'c in his arms.]

'''EXT—FOREST ROAD LEADING TO LARGE CLEARING'''

[The priests and priestesses appear at the clearing, followed by Carter and Daniel, who are hiding from them. The procession goes to a small building, where one of the priestesses fills a vessel with liquid from the container and pours it into a tank. They then walk away.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We have to get a closer look.</blockquote>

'''EXT—OUTSIDER'S CAMP'''

[Rya'c is lying on a bed in a makeshift tent, coughing.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Rya'c? Rya'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>Rya'c opens his eyes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
Father?</blockquote>

[Teal'c holds his son's hand as Rya'c coughs.]

<blockquote>RYA'C 
(to Drey-Auc) 
I knew he was not dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
How long has the sickness been in him?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
Since we were driven from our home. Do you understand now? Without the healing powers of the Goa'uld he will die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What have I done?</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Bra'tac arrive.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How's he doing, Teal'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He is dying.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm no doctor, but I know scarlet fever when I see it.</blockquote>

[O'Neill takes a small envelope from his belt.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Can it be treated by your Earth medicines?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There's some vaccines, antibiotics. 
(to Drey-Auc) Come here with the water.</blockquote>

[He pours some powder into the drinking vessel.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Give that to him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
I thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It won't cure him, you know. It'll take more powerful drugs than I've got with me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What of your Earth doctors?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
If we can get him through the Stargate, maybe.</blockquote>

'''EXT—SMALL BUIDING IN CLEARING'''

[Carter and Daniel are having a closer look at the larva in the glass container.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Bingo. Goa'uld larva.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Here in the open like this, no guards?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, who on Chulak needs to steal one?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Right.</blockquote>

[Carter passes her MP5 to Daniel and gets out a flask.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, we can do this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm ready.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay. On three. One, two, three.</blockquote>

[Carter doesn't put her hand in the larva liquid.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay, on four.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Four.</blockquote>

[Carter quickly puts her hand in and grabs a Goa'uld larva, pushing it into the flask.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I really, really, really hate these things.</blockquote>

[She puts the flask into the larva liquid, then puts the lid on.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, come on.</blockquote>

[Daniel doesn't follow, but cocks and raises the MP5.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Daniel? What are you thinking?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Just that every single one of these infant Goa'uld's will one day take a human life. And all I have to do is…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
If we kill them when they are as vulnerable as they are right now, we'd be no better than the Goa'uld. Let's go.</blockquote>

[Carter turns and Daniel follows. He then turns back and fires on the tank. The Goa'uld's spill out, squealing. Carter looks at Daniel, obviously shocked, and takes the MP5 from him. They leave the clearing.]

'''EXT—FOREST ON CHULAK'''

[Bra'tac, Drey-Auc, Teal'c and O'Neill move through the forest, with Rya'c in his father's arms.]

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
He is burning.</blockquote>

[They come to a small, clear part of the forest.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter and Daniel should be here.</blockquote>

[Teal'c puts Rya'c on the ground. Drey-Auc checks on him.]

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
He no longer draws breath, Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Rya'c. Rya'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c. We should try to make it to the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
By then it will be too late. There is another way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
No, no, no.</blockquote>

[Teal'c starts to remove his armour.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, you wanna think about this? You can't live for more than a couple of hours without that thing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
It is a father's right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
What of you Teal'c?</blockquote>

[Teal'c bends down and opens Rya'c's clothing.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am sorry, my son, that it is I who must do this to you. But I do it to save your life.</blockquote>

[Teal'c's symbiote comes out of his pouch and enters Rya'c.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Forgive me, my son. Forgive me.</blockquote>

'''EXT—ROAD IN FOREST'''

[Daniel and Carter are walking along. Daniel is eating a chocolate bar.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Do you think these things need to be fed?</blockquote>

[A staff blast hits a nearby tree.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Go, go!</blockquote>

[The Jaffa chase them and Carter and Daniel take cover behind a large tree. Daniel throws away his chocolate and pulls out a gun. The Jaffa are firing continuously.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What the hell do we do now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Drop and cover your head. This is going to be close.</blockquote>

[Carter gets up and throws a grenade in the Jaffa's direction. They cover up and it explodes, killing the Jaffa.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, that was insane.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Let's get back to the Stargate.</blockquote>

[They leave.]

'''EXT—SMALL FOREST CLEARING'''

[Rya'c is lying on the ground, with Teal'c slumped against a tree.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(on radio) 
Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Keep coming Captain, you're almost here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
The Goa'uld within him is strong. He's healing well.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
When will he be strong enough to travel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Soon. But by then, O'Neill, I will no longer be. Bra'tac. I would have you hear my will.</blockquote>

[Carter and Daniel walk up.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, let's just put a little hold on that right now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We'd better get moving, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We've got a little problem. Teal'c's kid was too sick to make it to the Stargate so he gave him his own Goa'uld to keep him alive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ahh, we have one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We were going to take it back with us but…</blockquote>

[O'Neill grabs Daniel and pushes him over to Teal'c, Bra'tac and Drey-Auc.]

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
Praise the stars, we must hurry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We found what looks like a monastery.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
You dare steal from the seplica of the temple?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
It is sacrilege!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, so what! Is it going to help him?</blockquote>

[Daniel hands over the flask to Bra'tac.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
It is young. Not yet ready for implantation. But we will try.</blockquote>

[Drey-Auc lowers Teal'c to the ground and Bra'tac places the Goa'uld onto his stomach.]

'''EXT—FOREST'''

[Other Jaffa come across the ones killed by Carter's grenade. One of them blows on a horn.]

'''EXT—THE STARGATE'''

[The priests and Jaffa at the Gate hear the horn.]

<blockquote>PRIEST #1 
(to the Jaffa) 
Go!</blockquote>

[The Jaffa leave.]

'''EXT—FOREST'''

[Teal'c is carrying Rya'c as SG-1, Bra'tac and Drey-Auc move through the forest.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How you holding up, Teal'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
My body grows strong again.</blockquote>

[The horn blares again.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
We have been discovered.</blockquote>

[Rya'c wakes up.]

<blockquote>RYA'C 
Father?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Rya'c.</blockquote>

[Teal'c sits on his haunches, with Rya'c in his arms.]

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
Your father has given you life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
A Goa'uld?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
In a primta. It is all I can give you until I return. Follow the guidance of Bra'tac and your mother. And you will learn to become a great warrior.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
Stay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I cannot. But the day of my return will come.</blockquote>

<blockquote>RYA'C 
When?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It may be a very long time, my son. But the life of a jaffa is long. I know the day will come when we will stand side by side in battle to free our people from the false gods. Remember, my son, remember.</blockquote>

[Rya'c hugs his father and rises to go to his mother.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(to Drey-Auc 
Blame me for the priest. Tell them I tried to steal your son away.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
We will be all right Teal'c. Go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
My son is fortunate to have such a mother.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DREY-AUC 
And his father will never return to free his people if he does not…go now.</blockquote>

[The horns blare again.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, we got to move.</blockquote>

[SG-1 and Bra'tac leave, but Teal'c stops and turns back to see his wife and son once again.]

'''EXT—FOREST'''

[Teal'c holds out his Serpent Guard helmet while the rest of SG-1 find the priest robes which they had hidden earlier.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, here's the plan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
You will do as I say.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
You won't need those.</blockquote>

[He takes the priest robe from Carter and throws it into a bush.]

'''EXT—CLEARED PATH UPHILL'''

[SG-1 come to the top of the hill and look down on the Stargate. Teal'c closes his helmet. SG-1 go down the hill following Bra'tac. A Jaffa guard and two priests see them coming.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Behold my friends. The traitors.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PRIEST #1 
Halt. Come no further.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
I am to present my prisoners to Apophis himself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>PRIEST #1 
You cannot pass, Bra'tac.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
You know of me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>PRIEST #1 
Of course, Master. You were once the greatest Jaffa warrior of all. But no one may pass until the palace guard arrives.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
I understand. Then we wait.</blockquote>

[Bra'tac turns and fires his staff at their feet igniting the ground. O'Neill and Carter draw their weapons to help but Teal'c stops them. Bra'tac knocks down the Jaffa and both priests. One priest comes up behind him and he knocks him out again.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Not bad for a man of 133.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not bad at all. Daniel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[Daniel goes to the DHD to dial out.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What will you do? When the priests come to, they'll tell Apophis that you betrayed them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
I suppose, I will cross that bridge when I come to it.</blockquote>

[Carter and O'Neill move to the Stargate.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I lack the words to thank you, Bra'tac.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
I thank you, Teal'c. I have another young warrior to teach of new worlds.</blockquote>

[The Gate engages. Bra'tac places his arm on Teal'c's shoulder.]

<blockquote>BRA'TAC 
Farewell my friend.</blockquote>

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

[Teal'c joins Carter, O'Neill and Daniel on the steps to the Stargate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ten hut.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Carter salute and Daniel waves. They then go through the Stargate. Teal'c waits, raises his staff weapon in salute and follows. As Bra'tac walks away, the Gate shuts down.]

'''TEASER'''

'''INT—FLASHBACK—SGC GATE ROOM c. 1945'''

[Group of men—both military and scientist—are standing around the Stargate. Two Army Air Corps soldiers are positioned on each side of the Gate and are turning the ring of the Gate manually. An older man directs their progress.]

<blockquote>LANGFORD 
Now! Stop!</blockquote>

[Ernest looks at Langford and nods, then turns away from the Gate to a technician.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Charge!</blockquote>

[The technician throws a couple of power switches simultaneously. A chevron locks in place.]

<blockquote>LANGFORD 
First lock engaged.</blockquote>

[Langford motions for the soldiers to continue to turn the Gate.]

<blockquote>LANGFORD 
Revolve.</blockquote>

[Cutaway to a soldier filming the proceedings and then back to the entire room and the scene's color changes to a sepia tone, the film becomes grainy as it continues to show different shots of the activity.]

[Flashback ends as the actual scene turn into a playback of it on a television monitor in the briefing room — present day. Daniel is staring at the TV as O'Neill walks in.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You know, we're supposed to be at that physical assessment thing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, yeah. I'll…uh…I'll go. I'll go. I just…just…um…let me finish this reel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You know, you seem a tad obsessed with this stuff.</blockquote>

[Daniel continues to stare at the TV.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This was transferred from film of experiments done on the Gate in 1945. You don't find that the least bit intriguing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh yeah! Nothing piques my interest more than repeated failure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Look at them. They're turning the Gate manually, for god's sake. It's incredible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How many hours of this stuff have you looked at?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(A bit frustrated, looks at O'Neill briefly) 
There's no conclusion to the file. There's no summary; no notes. No reason to explain…why they gave up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There are whole boxes of material could be missing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, the Pentagon said this was everything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, please. The Pentagon's lost entire countries. Come on.</blockquote>

[Pats the side of Daniel's chair and starts to walk away.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Doctors have two days of tests planned for us. Wonderful tests!</blockquote>

[Daniel continues watching and the scene in the Gate room shows the Stargate activated and the event horizon shimmering as a lone person is outfitted in an old diving suit.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ummm…Jack?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL moves closer to the TV and gapes at the images.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's impossible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Obviously, not. This doesn't make any sense. Why wouldn't they have told us this? I mean, why would they stop their research if they managed to turn it on?</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Daniel continue to watch the television as they see a figure clad in the diving suit step through the event horizon. The event horizon then disengages and the air hose and rope are severed on the ground. One of the technicians picks up the tubing and the film ends abruptly as if broken.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(whispers) 
Holy cow.</blockquote>

[Close-up on Daniel as scene fades out.]

'''END TEASER—OPENING CREDITS'''

'''EXT—LARGE TWO-STORY HOME OF CATHERINE LANGFORD'''

[A driver of a limousine shuts the door as Catherine Langford strolls up the walkway.]

'''INT—FOYER'''

[A domestic opens the door for Catherine.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Hello, Martha.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MARTHA 
Miss Langford, there's a young man waiting for you in the kitchen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
You let a strange young man in the house?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MARTHA 
Yes. I'm sorry. He said he knows you.</blockquote>

[Catherine walks into her kitchen and stops short with a stunned and delighted expression on her face.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
My God!</blockquote>

[Daniel hurriedly returns an artifact back to its place on a shelf.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(sheepishly) 
Hello. Umm…I'm sorry. I hope you don't mind.</blockquote>

[Catherine and Daniel hug warmly. Catherine laughs.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
How long have you been back? My God, why are you back? Colonel O'Neill said you stayed on Abydos.</blockquote>

[Daniel notices her necklace in an attempt to not answer.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I see you…you got the amulet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Yes, of course. I never take it off. Why avoid my question? What's this all about?</blockquote>

[Daniel stands there awkwardly.]

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Colonel O'Neill is poring through papers from file boxes labeled Top Secret. General Hammond walks in.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill, Dr. Jackson was supposed to be briefing SG-4 this morning. He's not here and he's not answering our pages. Any idea where he is?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I haven't seen him in a while, sir.</blockquote>

[Hammond leaves the room while O'Neill continues to look at papers.]

'''INT—LANGFORD HOUSE'''

[Catherine strides angrily from the kitchen into her drawing room. Daniel follows her placatingly.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Catherine, I couldn't tell you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Why not?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They wouldn't let me. Everything is…is classified…You know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
When did you become an upstanding member of the military?</blockquote>

[Angrily sets the teakettle on the tray with the teapot.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm not…exactly. That's why I'm here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I'll make you some tea, then you can go back to your Stargate Command.</blockquote>

<blockquote>(Contemplatively) 
Thousands of Stargates. Planetary shift. Didn't anyone think that I might be interested?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's why I came.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Now! Six months later. You could have told me sooner</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes. Just like you could have told me there were experiments done on the Gate in 1945.</blockquote>

[Catherine's expression softens.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
My father headed up a research team that worked on the Gate during the war. Actually, they didn't know what it was then. President Roosevelt was like that—curious. They suspected the Gate was a weapon and could be used as one. Nothing ever came of it, though. How do you know?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The Pentagon has recently been declassifying old materials. They ran across a number of file boxes that dealt with the old experiments and they sent them to us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Really?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You weren't involved in the research?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
The military had very little use for a 21-year-old girl at the time. Neither did my father. I only know what little I overheard him and Ernest talking about.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm sorry. Who's…Ernest?</blockquote>

[Catherine looks plaintively off to another part of the room and the camera pans left.]

'''FLASHBACK—INT—LANGFORD HOME 1945'''

[A young couple seated in front of a fire in the fireplace. Catherine is rubbing Ernest's shoulders as he sits up and faces her.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
We get as far as entering the fifth symbol and then the room starts to shake. Today, one of the generators exploded from the feedback.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Are you going to talk to my father?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(oblivious) 
Oh, he knows. He was there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I meant, about us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(smiles) 
Oh…yes, I will.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Maybe it's supposed to do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
The ring. Maybe it's supposed to shake.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(laughingly) 
I don't think so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Are you using alternating or direct current to charge it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Alternating…I think. Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Try using direct. It may prevent the charge from bouncing back to the generator…And you should talk to my father.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(smiles) 
I will. I promise.</blockquote>

[Ernest and Catherine kiss.]

'''INT—CATHERINE'S DRAWING ROOM—PRESENT DAY'''

[Catherine is preparing the tea.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sooo, you didn't know the government kept the files from the original experiments.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I had my father's notes. He told me that was everything they had. Do you know how many administrations I had to petition to get this program started up again? Forty years had passed. The information was classified and buried. I never asked for any files, because I thought I had them. West never offered, because he probably didn't know they existed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So you don't know that they turned the Gate on in 1945.</blockquote>

<blockquote>She turns to face Daniel, stunned.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
What? </blockquote>

'''INT—LANGFORD DINING ROOM—1945'''

[Ernest and Catherine's father are seated at the dining room table.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(excitedly) 
There must be over a hundred million possible combinations. If it's merely a combination lock used to turn it on, why 39 symbols? Why not six?</blockquote>

<blockquote>LANGFORD 
(irritably) 
What are you saying?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
They're not combinations. They're destinations, and we just found one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LANGFORD 
A doorway to heaven can mean any number of different things. It could simply mean that anyone who passes through there will die…</blockquote>

[Catherine walks in on the men carrying a tray with a teapot and cups.]

<blockquote>LANGFORD 
…For example.</blockquote>

[Both men are disturbed by Catherine's intrusion on their conversation. Catherine smiles at Ernest and he shyly returns the smile as she pours the tea.]

<blockquote>LANGFORD 
(Tiredly) 
atherine we have a maid for a reason.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I wanted to do it.</blockquote>

[Catherine eventually understands that she's not wanted and leaves the room. Her father smiles exasperatedly after his daughter's exit and reaches for the lumps of sugar.]

'''INT—CATHERINE'S DRAWING ROOM PRESENT DAY'''

[Catherine drops a lump of sugar in her tea.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
No. I never knew they turned it on. My father never told me. It wasn't in his notes either.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Then there's something more you should see.</blockquote>

[Puts a videotape in the VCR and hits the remote while Catherine puts her glasses on.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Here, watch this.</blockquote>

[The tape shows scenes of Ernest putting on the diving suit and the activated Stargate.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Oh, God. </blockquote>

'''FLASHBACK—INT—LANGFORD DINING ROOM—1945'''

[Catherine is standing behind a chair. Langford stands by the door.]

<blockquote>LANGFORD 
There was an accident today. An explosion in the lab.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Ernest?</blockquote>

<blockquote>LANGFORD 
I'm so sorry.</blockquote>

[Catherine begins to cry.]

'''INT—CATHERINE'S DRAWING ROOM—PRESENT DAY'''

[Catherine pulls off her glasses wearily.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So the man who went through the Gate is Ernest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Yes. My father must have lied to me. He said Ernest died in an accident. An explosion.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Why would he do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
He probably thought he was protecting me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
From what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
From know that the man I was supposed to marry chose to risk his life and go through the Stargate without even talking to be about it. He chose his idea — his work — over me.

DANIEL 
Um…I'm sure that he believed that he would…he would come back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
He was so young, so full of passion. Like you. You reminded me of him when I first saw you. That's why I knew you would solve the mysteries of the Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(sudden realization) 
Catherine. I wasn't supposed to show you this.</blockquote>

[He pulls out large envelope with pictures from a file box.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Actually, I wasn't supposed to show you any of this, but now…</blockquote>

[Hands her the pictures.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Computer enhancements from the film footage.</blockquote>

[Catherine flips through the pictures.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I was able to isolate the chevrons as they were locked in before Ernest went through.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Not Abydos?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No. Another planet with similar coordinates.…And we can go there.</blockquote>

[Catherine looks at him disbelievingly.]

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

[Voiceover of General Hammond shouting.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Have you completely lost your mind? </blockquote>

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Hammond angrily strolls into the room. Daniel and Catherine are standing there.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Who authorized you to reveal classified information to a civilian?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sir, if you will just let me explain…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This is a serious breach of protocol. These rules exist for a reason, Doctor. Do you think you're above them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, no! I—</blockquote>

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

[O'Neill casually walks in with Teal'c following.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Hello, Jack.</blockquote>

[Smiling fondly, she extends a hand to shake his.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's good to see you again.</blockquote>

[He shakes Catherine's hand.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I trust the General is making you feel right at home?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
So far, he actually sounds worse than General West.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah. He's a teddy bear.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(agitated) 
Colonel, did you authorize Dr. Jackson to reveal classified information to this civilian?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Absolutely not, sir! In fact, I advised him not to say anything to her in spite of the fact that she used to run the entire program and is responsible for most of our current knowledge about the Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(more calmly) 
I'm aware of who she is, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Catherine, this is Teal'c. Teal'c, this is Catherine.</blockquote>

[She leans across the table to shake Teal'c's hand.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Daniel's told me all about you. Such a pleasure.</blockquote>

[He bows his head. She sits down. Hammond also takes a seat at the briefing table.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel? Are you aware of the request Dr. Jackson has most currently tabled?</blockquote>

[Stares pointedly at Daniel, then wags a finger at him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You got to go that one step further, don't ya?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL takes a seat. Teal'c follows.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The man who went through the Gate in 1945 was Catherine's fiancé. Now, I have the address of the planet he went to, and we can go there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
And I'm coming with you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
General, we know where Ernest Littlefield went. He could still be alive. A man who had the vision to see the Gate for what it was…a half a century before anyone else.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He sounds like a bona fide American hero, sir.</blockquote>

[Carter walks in the room.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, there may be another reason to go to this planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Samantha!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(surprised) 
Catherine!</blockquote>

[Carter bends down and she and Catherine embrace.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(impatiently) 
Captain Carter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(sheepishly, she straightens up) 
Yes, sir. It seems the planet in question is close to Abydos, so it uses many of the same points in space as locators, which explains why the team in '45 could coincidentally dial in without compensating for planetary shift. But Sir, the planet in question is not on the cartouche we found on Abydos.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
What's the significance of that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The Goa'ulds haven't charted it. They may not even have been there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
If the Goa'ulds haven't been to this planet, and there's obviously a Gate there, then we would have unquestionable proof that they didn't originally build the stargates.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The Goa'uld are scavengers. Since they have not traveled to this planet, we may find technologies we can use against them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
You speak?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
When it is appropriate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(smiles) 
Thank you. Thank all of you for your very thorough analysis of the situation. But I was already convinced by Dr. Jackson's initial argument. Ernest Littlefield could still be alive, and we should try to find him. </blockquote>

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Wormhole engages and Catherine is arm in arm with O'NEILL and Daniel as she stares awed at the Stargate.]

[The FRED is mobilized and Teal'c and CARTER walk up the ramp toward the event horizon beside it. O'NEILL and Daniel follow with Catherine anxiously walking between them, arms linked with theirs. As they get closer to the Gate, they stop and Catherine looks at O'Neill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's a piece of cake.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Daniel each hold on to her more tightly and O'Neill looks at her one more time.]

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

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[They step through the Stargate.]

'''INT—CASTLE'S STARGATE ROOM'''

[The room is in shambles. Daniel steadies Catherine as they exit the Gate.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Huh! That was some piece of cake.</blockquote>

[SG-1 and Catherine take in the room's interior as all move around to explore tentatively. It is dark, and the structure creaks and groans.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's hot in here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, yeah. Did anybody see a way in or out of this place?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
There appears to be only two doorways.</blockquote>

[Carter notices a naked elderly man standing in the doorway of the room, and is a bit embarrassed.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh, my.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Aw. For cryin' out loud.</blockquote>

[Daniel gapes at the man.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Dr. Littlefield? Ernest?</blockquote>

[The man moves into the room cautiously, and approaches Daniel.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hello, I'm Daniel Jackson. We just came through the Stargate.</blockquote>

[Ernest looks in the direction of the Gate.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, uh…that thing. Star…Gate.</blockquote>

[Ernest pushes on Daniel's shoulder.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We're real.</blockquote>

[Ernest throws his arms around Daniel and begins to sob.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
It's about time.</blockquote>

[Ernest goes to O'Neill and embraces him.]

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

[Ernest then moves to Teal'c and embraces him while Carter quickly sidles out of the way.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh, boy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, do something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh…Dr. Littlefield?</blockquote>

[Daniel points at Catherine. Ernest looks up and takes in the image of the older woman for a few moments.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
You don't recognize me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
C—Catherine?</blockquote>

[Looks at her intently for a moment, then his expression grows cold.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Hmmph!</blockquote>

[Ernest turns abruptly and leaves the room.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
(Stunned) 
Fifty years. That's all he has to say.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'll—I'll go s—see if I can find him. </blockquote>

'''EXT—CASTLE'''

[Waves pound the cliff underneath the battered structure.]

'''INT—CASTLE—ERNEST'S LAIR'''

[Daniel is walking down a stairway in the castle.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Still here?</blockquote>

[Startled, Daniel whirls around and see Ernest, still naked.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh…Do you have anything to wear?</blockquote>

[Ernest looks at him blankly.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Clothes?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Oh! Uh—Uh. Going home.</blockquote>

[Daniel averts his eyes while Ernest reaches down and pulls on the tattered remnants of his diving suit.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, we're taking you home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
So much time. Did no one try again?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's a long story. Are there other people here? No one else lives here? How 'bout nearby?</blockquote>

[Ernest looks at him forlornly and hands Daniel a piece of food.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Are you saying you've been completely alone here for fifty years?</blockquote>

[Ernest shrugs his shoulders.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Eat. </blockquote>

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[Carter is wandering around behind Catherine who is seated on the steps leading to the DHD.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I don't know what I expected. I mean, I can't believe he's right here. Light years away, but still so close all this time. Alive!</blockquote>

[Sits down next to Catherine.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I think he's probably having a little trouble dealing with it, too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I felt like a schoolgirl. My heart was beating faster than when I came through the Gate. (Laughs ironically) 
You think you're old and wise.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I—I don't think the heart ever grows old.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
(Sighs) 
I can't even fathom what he's been through. Such a long time. I don't even know that man.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why don't you go and talk to him? </blockquote>

'''INT—ERNEST'S LAIR'''

[Daniel is looking at several sheets of old, yellowed papers containing hash marks.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Last day.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's a calendar isn't it?</blockquote>

[Ernest nods, and Daniel pages through it.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Have you been able to figure out who built this place or who used to live here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Heliopolis.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Heliopolis?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Repository, philosophy, astronomy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I assume you mean the ancient Egyptian city. People would come from everywhere to gather there. Scholars. Community leaders. It was also the central place of worship for Ra. Are there any ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs here? Symbols that indicate Ra. This could be very important.</blockquote>

[Ernest retrieves his journal from his belongings and gives it to Daniel. Daniel looks over the pages of Ernest's writing and reads from it.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
"Four distinct languages. Writing unlike anything on Earth. Catherine says they're probably alien." 
(to Ernest) 
Catherine says?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
She found me long ago</blockquote>

[Daniel continues reading from journal.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
"We walked for miles today and still found no signs of civilization. Catherine seems concerned, but I am not. As long as she is here with me, I will never feel alone. It seems impossible, but everyday that we're here together, I love her more."</blockquote>

[Catherine appears in the room.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
My father lied to me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Oh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh. I'll leave you two.</blockquote>

[Daniel leaves the room.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(to Catherine) 
So real.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Yes. You're going to have to believe. This isn't easy for me either.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Y—you—you look—uh—different.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I'm old, Ernest. So are you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
We—we had a wonderful life together.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I couldn't imagine you, Ernest. In my mind, we didn't have a wonderful life. I thought you were dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Forgave me. You forgave me long ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
No. I didn't</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(near tears) 
Oh. </blockquote>

'''EXT—CASTLE'''

[Storm rages outside.]

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[Thunder sounds outside. O'Neill and Teal'c return to the Stargate room from exploring. Daniel and Carter are seated on the stairs to the DHD and reviewing Ernest's journal together.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Doesn't seem to be anybody else around. I tell you, this place used to be pretty sweet. But it's seen better days, if you know what I mean.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I think Professor Littlefield has been alone since he got her.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The storm approaches.</blockquote>

[Catherine and Ernest join them in the Stargate room.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
A pretty big one at that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
It comes every year.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Every year?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Now, look, kids. We're right on the edge of cliff here. I don't think this place could withstand another big hit.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We must take our leave.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, we can't. Not yet. I mean, we've—we've only begun to explore this place. Figure out what it is, what it used to be.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We launched a survey balloon. Now, let's take the Professor and Catherine home. We'll leave the probe here, let it monitor the situation until the storm blows over, and then we'll come back. All right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
I tried for years to make it work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You never tried entering different glyphs in this thing?</blockquote>

[Pointing to the DHD. Daniel then rises up from his seat and steps to up the DHD.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We call this the Dial-Home Device. Basically, you enter the correct address and—</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel. Why do we just show him?</blockquote>

[They all go up the steps to join Daniel at the DHD. They see that the center crystal is destroyed.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
My God.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What the hell? I thought the probe was supposed to detect stuff like this.</blockquote>

[CARTER picks at the shards.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We got visual confirmation of its presence, but the damage was obviously concealed.</blockquote>

[Tries to push in glyphs. Nothing lights up.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's not working</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
It was like that when I got here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
(to Ernest) 
That's why you never came back.</blockquote>

[Ernest nods sullenly, then looks up.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Does this mean we're not going home? </blockquote>

'''EXT—CASTLE'''

[Storm still rages outside.]

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[O'Neill and Daniel are lifting a large stone pillar. Carter and Teal'c are working on the DHD.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Well, since we're going to be here a while, I'd like you to see something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Come on. It's the safest room there is. You know? Especially in a storm.</blockquote>

[Leaves the room, Daniel follows.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Give me a hand.</blockquote>

[O'Neill pulls her up.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Thanks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Carter and Teal'c) 
Keep at it. We'll be back.</blockquote>

[Catherine and O'Neill follow Ernest and Daniel.]

'''INT—MEETING PLACE'''

[Ernest uncloaks a device with a large crystal in the center. Immediately four separate walls light up, each bearing four distinct patterns of alien writing.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What is this place?</blockquote>

[Ernest pokes at a page in his journal that Daniel is holding open indicating he should read it. Daniel reads.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
"I believe this room is some sort of meeting place where four alien races denoted by the symbols and the distinctive writing on the walls would gather…possible to share knowledge or discuss relations somewhat like a united nations of the stars. Catherine agrees."</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
(to Ernest) 
You're right. I would have. </blockquote>

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[CARTER and Teal'c are still working on the DHD. Carter is working with some wires inside the broken center crystal.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
All roads seem to lead here. Which means this is likely the power source.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I believe you are correct.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It will take years to figure out how to put these crystals back properly. I think we might be able to figure out some way to rig the power source directly to the Gate and dial home manually. </blockquote>

'''INT—MEETING PLACE'''

[Looking at the device before. It looks like a DHD.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
This looks familiar.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Touch it.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL touches it and a beam of light shoots up from the device and holographic images of circular, multicolored objects dot the ceiling.]

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

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
It's beautiful!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel? Does this mean anything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, if this was a Mecca of sorts—an alien United Nations—this has to mean something.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks up and recognizes what he's seeing.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Of course! High School chemistry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
One proton, one electron. Hydrogen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Beryllium. Sodium.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL waves his weapon though one of the projected images.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Silver, iron, barium, xenon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Oh, my God. So many electrons. How can you tell?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
I've been here a very long time. Remember?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Excuse me. Are you saying that all of these are atomic…things?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
These images the graphical representations of the basics elements: Electrons revolving around the proton. The number of the electrons indicating the element.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
One hundred and forty-six.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
There are currently only 111 elements on the periodic table.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Only 90 when I last looked.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
This is incredible. I mean, we've only been able to speculate on the actual appearance and structure of an atom. The fact the four completely alien races chose to represent it visually in an almost identical way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The basic elements are what make up the universe. They are the basic building bl— Of course! 
(excitedly) 
How do you ensure universal communication? You reduce the method of communication to the most basic elements common to everyone and everything that exists in the universe. Jack, this is a true universal language.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(to Daniel) 
Turn the page.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Turn the page.</blockquote>

[Ernest touches a portion of the device, and another beam of light shoots up changing the pattern.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Are you saying that this— this is— this is like a book?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
I tried to read it. I tried to understand, but—</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
A hundred and forty-six elements, letters, or word symbols. If they're letters, if they're pictographic, — I mean— this could take a lifetime.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(Sadly) 
More.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Sheepishly) 
Oh. Sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Moves closer to Daniel. 
Daniel, before your head explodes, may I remind that we've got more important things to deal with right now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How can you say that? Don't you know what this could mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Actually, no.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This could be the key to understanding our existence. Everyone, everything's existence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
A collaboration of the knowledge of these four alien species.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
None of which will mean squat if we don't get out of here. </blockquote>

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[CARTER and Teal'c are still working on the DHD. They are stringing wires from the Gate to the DHD. O'Neill and Catherine join them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How's it goin'?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We're trying to connect the power source from the Dial-Home Device directly into the Gate. I'm about to run a test. Where's Daniel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, Ernest is showing him a new toy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Really? What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Some fancy light show that may be the key to our existence or something like that.</blockquote>

[Lightning crashes and some debris falls from the ceiling.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Uh, you wanna pick up the pace on this a little bit?</blockquote>

[Carter connects a wire and the Gate begins to power up with chevrons lighting.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
You did it!</blockquote>

[Then it powers down. As they stand there, the ceiling creaks again and O'Neill grabs Carter by the vest and pulls her away.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get back!</blockquote>

[They tumble down the stairs together as the ceiling crashes down where they were just standing. Teal'c and Catherine run to them as they pick themselves up from the rubble.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Are you all right?</blockquote>

[They all look back at the DHD and go back to where it was. All four see a gaping hole in the floor where the DHD used to be. The sea crashes on the rocks below.]

'''INT—MEETING ROOM'''

[Daniel and Ernest are studying a wall with one of the alien languages on it.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This is how you knew what this place was.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Then you recognize it, too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Othala, the Norse Rune thought to represent the collection of numinous power and knowledge from past generations.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
And the gathering of clans to share a common interest. You know, there's more than just a coincidence here. But that means that humans were here centuries, maybe eons ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Not humans— aliens. This is Thor's race.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Thor was an alien?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, yeah. That's uh— That's another…long story. But a…good one. </blockquote>

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[O'NEILL, CARTER, and Teal'c are working with more wires.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right. Basic survival training. We know what we have. What do we need?</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks over to Catherine who is seated on some rubble.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We have the Stargate. We need the Dial-Home Device.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you, Teal'c</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The element the Gate is made up of absorbs energy directly. Internal functions will convert and store that energy in capacitor-like reservoirs. But the inside wheel will only unlock and spin freely once there's enough reserve power.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So what we need is energy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Mm-hmm. I don't see any electrical outlets. Do you? </blockquote>

'''INT—MEETING ROOM'''

[The elements are whirling slowly around the room. Daniel is trying to videotape the images from different angles.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This is useless. It's not allowing for any relative perspective. I don't understand. How did you incorporate the three-dimensional nature of the information?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Look down.</blockquote>

[Daniel looks at Ernest then looks down to the floor.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Of course. You measured the element's distance from a central point. Degrees from zero around in a circle, and height above the floor.</blockquote>

[O'Neill, Carter, Teal'c and Catherine descend the stairs to the Meeting Room. Daniel notices them finally.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What's up, guys?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Step away from the pedestal, Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What? Daniel looks around.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The Dial-Home Devices just fell through the floor into the ocean.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So what are we going to do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That thing may have a power source in it that we can use to get the Gate working.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh…No! 
(appalled) 
You don't understand— this book may contain knowledge of the universe. I mean, this is— this is meaning-of-life stuff. I have to get more of it down on paper before we leave. There has to be something more you can use. What about using energy from Teal'c's staff?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It isn't powerful enough.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Daniel, please. There's not much time. We have to get inside that thing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
This whole place can join the DHD at the bottom of the ocean at anytime, so please…</blockquote>

[O'Neill sweeps an arc with his hand, indicating that Daniel should move away. Daniel looks at O'Neill irritably.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Great. Shoot it.</blockquote>

[Daniel walks away disgustedly. Teal'c aims his staff weapon and shoots the device. Nothing happens. O'Neill moves closer to it.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Now what?</blockquote>

[O'Neill studies the device as thunder sounds rather loudly around them. All look up at the noise.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm obviously no scientist, but uh, couldn't we use that Ben Franklin thing? </blockquote>

'''INT—ENTRANCE TO CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[O'Neill and Carter are walking into the Stargate room and Carter is talking. They are followed by Teal'c and Catherine.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
The element the Gate is made up of is a superconductor. It'll absorb energy in any form: heat, nuclear, solar, static. If we could channel a lightning strike into the Gate, it might provide us with enough power to dial in and make it though.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
How do we attract lightning to strike the Gate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, not directly. We'll have to rig something up on the roof…and hope that a sudden and enormous charge doesn't destroy the Gate's mechanisms. </blockquote>

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[A mass of wires is laid out and O'Neill is hanging out window and grabs a wire presumably from Teal'c who is on the roof.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We got it, Teal'c.</blockquote>

[O'Neill climbs down and pulls the wire over to the Gate where Carter is to wrap the wire around the ring where she connects what appear to be heavy-duty jumper cables to the wire. In the meantime, Ernest is rummaging through the rubble looking for something and Catherine enters the room.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Daniel won't come up. He's obsessed with that thing. So much like you used to be.</blockquote>

[They both chuckle lightly at her comment.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
The Torment of Tantalus.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Tantalus was a king in Greek mythology banished to Hades, forced to stand in water that receded when he tried to drink.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Everlasting, unending temptation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
He was reaching for something that was…um…out of reach. That sounds familiar.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Some might say that's what makes a man great. If we all accepted what was within our grasp—</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Sometimes what we have is of more value. It takes a great man to recognize that. I didn't. I was a fool.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Ernest, you've suffered enough. No sense wasting time in the past. Right?</blockquote>

[They look at each other for a few moments, then Ernest looks away. He spies something in the rubble that he was looking for.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Ah, look. For the peak of the roof.</blockquote>

[He pulls out the old diving helmet he used when he came through the Gate.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
It will attract the lightning.</blockquote>

[He hands the helmet to Catherine.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
You get Daniel.</blockquote>

[Ernest leaves and Catherine takes the helmet to Teal'c who's just walked in the room, and hands it to him.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Take this to the roof. </blockquote>

'''INT—THE MEETING ROOM'''

[Ernest makes his way down the stares as Daniel stands over the device and pores over a large book, making notes.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
You have to come…now!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Not yet. Come and get me when they've got the Gate running.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
There isn't enough time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I have to finish this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
It's not worth it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Nothing is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, our history as a people would be very different if everyone felt that way.</blockquote>

[Ernest grabs Daniel's arm.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
No prize is worth attaining if you can never share it! There would be no point! Believe me. (becomes emotional) 
I know.</blockquote>

[Daniel looks hard at Ernest.]

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[Teal'c is crouched down positioning a wire along the ground. He walks to the assembled group who are waiting for lightning to strike and for Ernest and Daniel to appear.]

'''EXT—THE CASTLE TOWERS'''

[There are a couple of claps of thunder and a lightning bolt finally hits the helmet at the top of the spire.]

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[The lightning travels along the wire and encircles the rings via the wires wrapped around it.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Go, Teal'c! Start dialing in! We may only have seconds once the Gate is open.</blockquote>

[O'Neill makes his way out of the room and heads out to find Daniel and Ernest.]

'''INT—THE MEETING ROOM'''

[Daniel is standing over the device again and Ernest is by the stairs. Daniel is still trying to justify their need to study this device further.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What you did was courageous.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
What I did was stupid.</blockquote>

[O'Neill is coming down the steps.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on, boys! We got to go now!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm staying.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Look, I will be fine down here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Ernest) 
Go on. Go on. Daniel, we can come back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No. What if the castle crumbles around the Gate? I mean, this— this could all be lost. If I stay I could unbury the Gate again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What if the Gate falls into the ocean?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL moves closer to Daniel.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm willing to take that risk!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm not!</blockquote>

[O'Neill grabs Daniel by the scruff of his neck.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Let's go!</blockquote>

[O'Neill pulls Daniel away from the device and toward the stairs.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack!</blockquote>

[They stop, and, still keeping a firm grip on Daniel, O'Neill looks at him intently.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(pleading) 
Please.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks at him for a moment, then releases Daniel, allowing Daniel to choose. Daniel makes is way back over to the device, looks at it momentarily and up at the ceiling while O'Neill waits. He then bends over to pick up the book and notes that fell to the ground. Turning away he makes his way over to the stairs and O'Neill follows him up the stairs.]

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[The wormhole is established and Ernest and Catherine are poised to enter the event horizon. Carter waves them on through.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Let's go</blockquote>

[Ernest hesitates to enter. Catherine smiles at him.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
It's a piece of cake.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Not from what I remember.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Go.</blockquote>

[Both Catherine and Ernest go through. Teal'c looks back for O'Neill and Daniel.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Go, Teal'c.</blockquote>

[Reluctantly, he goes through the Gate. Carter looks up at the ceiling begins to crumble.]

[Cut to the doorway. Daniel and O'Neill come running in the room and dive for cover as a portion of the ceiling comes down behind them. Scrambling to their feet, O'Neill pushes Daniel up.]

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

[Carter runs into the wormhole, and O'Neill and Daniel run up the stairs as more debris falls from the ceiling.]

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[Klaxons are sounding and General Hammond is watching as the event horizon shimmers.]

<blockquote>MAN #1 
(Voiceover) 
Stargate team receiving squad, stand ready.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAN #2 
(Voiceover) 
Yes, sir!</blockquote>

[Pan to see a dusty Carter standing by anxiously waiting for O'Neill and Daniel to come through. Over the loud speakers, Davis speaks.]

<blockquote>SGT DAVIS 
Wormhole is destabilizing. Still no travelers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Come on, guys.</blockquote>

[Teal'c stands on the ramp watching the flickering event horizon. Ernest and Catherine are seated on the ramp and receiving medical attention from some med techs.]

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[The wormhole continues to flicker while O'Neill and Daniel try to rise up to their feet. Daniel gets up and dives though, followed closely by O'Neill who also dives in right behind him.]

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[The wormhole flickers, then Daniel and O'NEILL finally fall out of the event horizon on to the ramp. Recovering, they are joined by Teal'c and Carter who help them to their feet.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Close one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ya think?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You don't know how close.</blockquote>

[They move off the ramp as Hammond and Davis look on worriedly from the control room.]

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN ENTRANCE'''

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[The Stargate is revolving. From inside the control room, Daniel, Ernest, O'Neill, and Catherine look on at the coordinates for Ernest's planet are entered.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Chevron Six encoded…Chevron Seven…will not engage.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Catherine look down disappointedly. Daniel turns away from the window and sits down dejectedly.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, I think it's safe to say the place is gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(hopefully, to Daniel) 
You still have my book.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Captain Carter's working on a computer model right now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And here's the bright side: You're alive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes. 
(to Ernest) 
Thanks to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Look at it this way: If you ever run into those aliens who made up the language, you can ask them what it means.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
You'd better let us know this time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I will. I promise.</blockquote>

[Ernest grabs Daniel in a sudden embrace, and Daniel laughs. O'Neill then rises out of his chair.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Catherine! Hug me.</blockquote>

[Catherine laughs and embraces O'Neill.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Oh, Jack!</blockquote>

[Catherine lets go of O'Neill and looks at Ernest, who's gazing back fondly at her. They embrace warmly as O'Neill and Daniel look on appreciatively.]

'''TEASER'''

'''INT—FLASHBACK—SGC GATE ROOM c. 1945'''

[Group of men—both military and scientist—are standing around the Stargate. Two Army Air Corps soldiers are positioned on each side of the Gate and are turning the ring of the Gate manually. An older man directs their progress.]

<blockquote>LANGFORD 
Now! Stop!</blockquote>

[Ernest looks at Langford and nods, then turns away from the Gate to a technician.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Charge!</blockquote>

[The technician throws a couple of power switches simultaneously. A chevron locks in place.]

<blockquote>LANGFORD 
First lock engaged.</blockquote>

[Langford motions for the soldiers to continue to turn the Gate.]

<blockquote>LANGFORD 
Revolve.</blockquote>

[Cutaway to a soldier filming the proceedings and then back to the entire room and the scene's color changes to a sepia tone, the film becomes grainy as it continues to show different shots of the activity.]

[Flashback ends as the actual scene turn into a playback of it on a television monitor in the briefing room — present day. Daniel is staring at the TV as O'Neill walks in.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You know, we're supposed to be at that physical assessment thing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, yeah. I'll…uh…I'll go. I'll go. I just…just…um…let me finish this reel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You know, you seem a tad obsessed with this stuff.</blockquote>

[Daniel continues to stare at the TV.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This was transferred from film of experiments done on the Gate in 1945. You don't find that the least bit intriguing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh yeah! Nothing piques my interest more than repeated failure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Look at them. They're turning the Gate manually, for god's sake. It's incredible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How many hours of this stuff have you looked at?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(A bit frustrated, looks at O'Neill briefly) 
There's no conclusion to the file. There's no summary; no notes. No reason to explain…why they gave up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There are whole boxes of material could be missing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, the Pentagon said this was everything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, please. The Pentagon's lost entire countries. Come on.</blockquote>

[Pats the side of Daniel's chair and starts to walk away.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Doctors have two days of tests planned for us. Wonderful tests!</blockquote>

[Daniel continues watching and the scene in the Gate room shows the Stargate activated and the event horizon shimmering as a lone person is outfitted in an old diving suit.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ummm…Jack?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL moves closer to the TV and gapes at the images.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's impossible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Obviously, not. This doesn't make any sense. Why wouldn't they have told us this? I mean, why would they stop their research if they managed to turn it on?</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Daniel continue to watch the television as they see a figure clad in the diving suit step through the event horizon. The event horizon then disengages and the air hose and rope are severed on the ground. One of the technicians picks up the tubing and the film ends abruptly as if broken.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(whispers) 
Holy cow.</blockquote>

[Close-up on Daniel as scene fades out.]

'''END TEASER—OPENING CREDITS'''

'''EXT—LARGE TWO-STORY HOME OF CATHERINE LANGFORD'''

[A driver of a limousine shuts the door as Catherine Langford strolls up the walkway.]

'''INT—FOYER'''

[A domestic opens the door for Catherine.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Hello, Martha.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MARTHA 
Miss Langford, there's a young man waiting for you in the kitchen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
You let a strange young man in the house?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MARTHA 
Yes. I'm sorry. He said he knows you.</blockquote>

[Catherine walks into her kitchen and stops short with a stunned and delighted expression on her face.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
My God!</blockquote>

[Daniel hurriedly returns an artifact back to its place on a shelf.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(sheepishly) 
Hello. Umm…I'm sorry. I hope you don't mind.</blockquote>

[Catherine and Daniel hug warmly. Catherine laughs.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
How long have you been back? My God, why are you back? Colonel O'Neill said you stayed on Abydos.</blockquote>

[Daniel notices her necklace in an attempt to not answer.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I see you…you got the amulet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Yes, of course. I never take it off. Why avoid my question? What's this all about?</blockquote>

[Daniel stands there awkwardly.]

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Colonel O'Neill is poring through papers from file boxes labeled Top Secret. General Hammond walks in.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill, Dr. Jackson was supposed to be briefing SG-4 this morning. He's not here and he's not answering our pages. Any idea where he is?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I haven't seen him in a while, sir.</blockquote>

[Hammond leaves the room while O'Neill continues to look at papers.]

'''INT—LANGFORD HOUSE'''

[Catherine strides angrily from the kitchen into her drawing room. Daniel follows her placatingly.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Catherine, I couldn't tell you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Why not?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They wouldn't let me. Everything is…is classified…You know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
When did you become an upstanding member of the military?</blockquote>

[Angrily sets the teakettle on the tray with the teapot.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm not…exactly. That's why I'm here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I'll make you some tea, then you can go back to your Stargate Command.</blockquote>

<blockquote>(Contemplatively) 
Thousands of Stargates. Planetary shift. Didn't anyone think that I might be interested?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's why I came.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Now! Six months later. You could have told me sooner</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes. Just like you could have told me there were experiments done on the Gate in 1945.</blockquote>

[Catherine's expression softens.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
My father headed up a research team that worked on the Gate during the war. Actually, they didn't know what it was then. President Roosevelt was like that—curious. They suspected the Gate was a weapon and could be used as one. Nothing ever came of it, though. How do you know?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The Pentagon has recently been declassifying old materials. They ran across a number of file boxes that dealt with the old experiments and they sent them to us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Really?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You weren't involved in the research?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
The military had very little use for a 21-year-old girl at the time. Neither did my father. I only know what little I overheard him and Ernest talking about.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm sorry. Who's…Ernest?</blockquote>

[Catherine looks plaintively off to another part of the room and the camera pans left.]

'''FLASHBACK—INT—LANGFORD HOME 1945'''

[A young couple seated in front of a fire in the fireplace. Catherine is rubbing Ernest's shoulders as he sits up and faces her.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
We get as far as entering the fifth symbol and then the room starts to shake. Today, one of the generators exploded from the feedback.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Are you going to talk to my father?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(oblivious) 
Oh, he knows. He was there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I meant, about us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(smiles) 
Oh…yes, I will.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Maybe it's supposed to do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
The ring. Maybe it's supposed to shake.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(laughingly) 
I don't think so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Are you using alternating or direct current to charge it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Alternating…I think. Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Try using direct. It may prevent the charge from bouncing back to the generator…And you should talk to my father.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(smiles) 
I will. I promise.</blockquote>

[Ernest and Catherine kiss.]

'''INT—CATHERINE'S DRAWING ROOM—PRESENT DAY'''

[Catherine is preparing the tea.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sooo, you didn't know the government kept the files from the original experiments.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I had my father's notes. He told me that was everything they had. Do you know how many administrations I had to petition to get this program started up again? Forty years had passed. The information was classified and buried. I never asked for any files, because I thought I had them. West never offered, because he probably didn't know they existed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So you don't know that they turned the Gate on in 1945.</blockquote>

<blockquote>She turns to face Daniel, stunned.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
What? </blockquote>

'''INT—LANGFORD DINING ROOM—1945'''

[Ernest and Catherine's father are seated at the dining room table.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(excitedly) 
There must be over a hundred million possible combinations. If it's merely a combination lock used to turn it on, why 39 symbols? Why not six?</blockquote>

<blockquote>LANGFORD 
(irritably) 
What are you saying?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
They're not combinations. They're destinations, and we just found one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LANGFORD 
A doorway to heaven can mean any number of different things. It could simply mean that anyone who passes through there will die…</blockquote>

[Catherine walks in on the men carrying a tray with a teapot and cups.]

<blockquote>LANGFORD 
…For example.</blockquote>

[Both men are disturbed by Catherine's intrusion on their conversation. Catherine smiles at Ernest and he shyly returns the smile as she pours the tea.]

<blockquote>LANGFORD 
(Tiredly) 
atherine we have a maid for a reason.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I wanted to do it.</blockquote>

[Catherine eventually understands that she's not wanted and leaves the room. Her father smiles exasperatedly after his daughter's exit and reaches for the lumps of sugar.]

'''INT—CATHERINE'S DRAWING ROOM PRESENT DAY'''

[Catherine drops a lump of sugar in her tea.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
No. I never knew they turned it on. My father never told me. It wasn't in his notes either.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Then there's something more you should see.</blockquote>

[Puts a videotape in the VCR and hits the remote while Catherine puts her glasses on.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Here, watch this.</blockquote>

[The tape shows scenes of Ernest putting on the diving suit and the activated Stargate.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Oh, God. </blockquote>

'''FLASHBACK—INT—LANGFORD DINING ROOM—1945'''

[Catherine is standing behind a chair. Langford stands by the door.]

<blockquote>LANGFORD 
There was an accident today. An explosion in the lab.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Ernest?</blockquote>

<blockquote>LANGFORD 
I'm so sorry.</blockquote>

[Catherine begins to cry.]

'''INT—CATHERINE'S DRAWING ROOM—PRESENT DAY'''

[Catherine pulls off her glasses wearily.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So the man who went through the Gate is Ernest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Yes. My father must have lied to me. He said Ernest died in an accident. An explosion.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Why would he do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
He probably thought he was protecting me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
From what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
From know that the man I was supposed to marry chose to risk his life and go through the Stargate without even talking to be about it. He chose his idea — his work — over me.

DANIEL 
Um…I'm sure that he believed that he would…he would come back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
He was so young, so full of passion. Like you. You reminded me of him when I first saw you. That's why I knew you would solve the mysteries of the Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(sudden realization) 
Catherine. I wasn't supposed to show you this.</blockquote>

[He pulls out large envelope with pictures from a file box.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Actually, I wasn't supposed to show you any of this, but now…</blockquote>

[Hands her the pictures.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Computer enhancements from the film footage.</blockquote>

[Catherine flips through the pictures.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I was able to isolate the chevrons as they were locked in before Ernest went through.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Not Abydos?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No. Another planet with similar coordinates.…And we can go there.</blockquote>

[Catherine looks at him disbelievingly.]

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

[Voiceover of General Hammond shouting.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Have you completely lost your mind? </blockquote>

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Hammond angrily strolls into the room. Daniel and Catherine are standing there.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Who authorized you to reveal classified information to a civilian?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sir, if you will just let me explain…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This is a serious breach of protocol. These rules exist for a reason, Doctor. Do you think you're above them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, no! I—</blockquote>

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

[O'Neill casually walks in with Teal'c following.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Hello, Jack.</blockquote>

[Smiling fondly, she extends a hand to shake his.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's good to see you again.</blockquote>

[He shakes Catherine's hand.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I trust the General is making you feel right at home?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
So far, he actually sounds worse than General West.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah. He's a teddy bear.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(agitated) 
Colonel, did you authorize Dr. Jackson to reveal classified information to this civilian?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Absolutely not, sir! In fact, I advised him not to say anything to her in spite of the fact that she used to run the entire program and is responsible for most of our current knowledge about the Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(more calmly) 
I'm aware of who she is, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Catherine, this is Teal'c. Teal'c, this is Catherine.</blockquote>

[She leans across the table to shake Teal'c's hand.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Daniel's told me all about you. Such a pleasure.</blockquote>

[He bows his head. She sits down. Hammond also takes a seat at the briefing table.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel? Are you aware of the request Dr. Jackson has most currently tabled?</blockquote>

[Stares pointedly at Daniel, then wags a finger at him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You got to go that one step further, don't ya?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL takes a seat. Teal'c follows.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The man who went through the Gate in 1945 was Catherine's fiancé. Now, I have the address of the planet he went to, and we can go there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
And I'm coming with you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
General, we know where Ernest Littlefield went. He could still be alive. A man who had the vision to see the Gate for what it was…a half a century before anyone else.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He sounds like a bona fide American hero, sir.</blockquote>

[Carter walks in the room.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, there may be another reason to go to this planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Samantha!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(surprised) 
Catherine!</blockquote>

[Carter bends down and she and Catherine embrace.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(impatiently) 
Captain Carter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(sheepishly, she straightens up) 
Yes, sir. It seems the planet in question is close to Abydos, so it uses many of the same points in space as locators, which explains why the team in '45 could coincidentally dial in without compensating for planetary shift. But Sir, the planet in question is not on the cartouche we found on Abydos.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
What's the significance of that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The Goa'ulds haven't charted it. They may not even have been there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
If the Goa'ulds haven't been to this planet, and there's obviously a Gate there, then we would have unquestionable proof that they didn't originally build the stargates.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The Goa'uld are scavengers. Since they have not traveled to this planet, we may find technologies we can use against them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
You speak?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
When it is appropriate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(smiles) 
Thank you. Thank all of you for your very thorough analysis of the situation. But I was already convinced by Dr. Jackson's initial argument. Ernest Littlefield could still be alive, and we should try to find him. </blockquote>

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Wormhole engages and Catherine is arm in arm with O'NEILL and Daniel as she stares awed at the Stargate.]

[The FRED is mobilized and Teal'c and CARTER walk up the ramp toward the event horizon beside it. O'NEILL and Daniel follow with Catherine anxiously walking between them, arms linked with theirs. As they get closer to the Gate, they stop and Catherine looks at O'Neill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's a piece of cake.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Daniel each hold on to her more tightly and O'Neill looks at her one more time.]

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

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[They step through the Stargate.]

'''INT—CASTLE'S STARGATE ROOM'''

[The room is in shambles. Daniel steadies Catherine as they exit the Gate.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Huh! That was some piece of cake.</blockquote>

[SG-1 and Catherine take in the room's interior as all move around to explore tentatively. It is dark, and the structure creaks and groans.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's hot in here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, yeah. Did anybody see a way in or out of this place?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
There appears to be only two doorways.</blockquote>

[Carter notices a naked elderly man standing in the doorway of the room, and is a bit embarrassed.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh, my.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Aw. For cryin' out loud.</blockquote>

[Daniel gapes at the man.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Dr. Littlefield? Ernest?</blockquote>

[The man moves into the room cautiously, and approaches Daniel.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hello, I'm Daniel Jackson. We just came through the Stargate.</blockquote>

[Ernest looks in the direction of the Gate.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, uh…that thing. Star…Gate.</blockquote>

[Ernest pushes on Daniel's shoulder.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We're real.</blockquote>

[Ernest throws his arms around Daniel and begins to sob.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
It's about time.</blockquote>

[Ernest goes to O'Neill and embraces him.]

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

[Ernest then moves to Teal'c and embraces him while Carter quickly sidles out of the way.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh, boy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, do something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh…Dr. Littlefield?</blockquote>

[Daniel points at Catherine. Ernest looks up and takes in the image of the older woman for a few moments.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
You don't recognize me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
C—Catherine?</blockquote>

[Looks at her intently for a moment, then his expression grows cold.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Hmmph!</blockquote>

[Ernest turns abruptly and leaves the room.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
(Stunned) 
Fifty years. That's all he has to say.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'll—I'll go s—see if I can find him. </blockquote>

'''EXT—CASTLE'''

[Waves pound the cliff underneath the battered structure.]

'''INT—CASTLE—ERNEST'S LAIR'''

[Daniel is walking down a stairway in the castle.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Still here?</blockquote>

[Startled, Daniel whirls around and see Ernest, still naked.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh…Do you have anything to wear?</blockquote>

[Ernest looks at him blankly.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Clothes?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Oh! Uh—Uh. Going home.</blockquote>

[Daniel averts his eyes while Ernest reaches down and pulls on the tattered remnants of his diving suit.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, we're taking you home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
So much time. Did no one try again?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's a long story. Are there other people here? No one else lives here? How 'bout nearby?</blockquote>

[Ernest looks at him forlornly and hands Daniel a piece of food.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Are you saying you've been completely alone here for fifty years?</blockquote>

[Ernest shrugs his shoulders.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Eat. </blockquote>

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[Carter is wandering around behind Catherine who is seated on the steps leading to the DHD.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I don't know what I expected. I mean, I can't believe he's right here. Light years away, but still so close all this time. Alive!</blockquote>

[Sits down next to Catherine.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I think he's probably having a little trouble dealing with it, too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I felt like a schoolgirl. My heart was beating faster than when I came through the Gate. (Laughs ironically) 
You think you're old and wise.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I—I don't think the heart ever grows old.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
(Sighs) 
I can't even fathom what he's been through. Such a long time. I don't even know that man.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why don't you go and talk to him? </blockquote>

'''INT—ERNEST'S LAIR'''

[Daniel is looking at several sheets of old, yellowed papers containing hash marks.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Last day.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's a calendar isn't it?</blockquote>

[Ernest nods, and Daniel pages through it.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Have you been able to figure out who built this place or who used to live here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Heliopolis.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Heliopolis?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Repository, philosophy, astronomy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I assume you mean the ancient Egyptian city. People would come from everywhere to gather there. Scholars. Community leaders. It was also the central place of worship for Ra. Are there any ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs here? Symbols that indicate Ra. This could be very important.</blockquote>

[Ernest retrieves his journal from his belongings and gives it to Daniel. Daniel looks over the pages of Ernest's writing and reads from it.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
"Four distinct languages. Writing unlike anything on Earth. Catherine says they're probably alien." 
(to Ernest) 
Catherine says?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
She found me long ago</blockquote>

[Daniel continues reading from journal.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
"We walked for miles today and still found no signs of civilization. Catherine seems concerned, but I am not. As long as she is here with me, I will never feel alone. It seems impossible, but everyday that we're here together, I love her more."</blockquote>

[Catherine appears in the room.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
My father lied to me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Oh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh. I'll leave you two.</blockquote>

[Daniel leaves the room.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(to Catherine) 
So real.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Yes. You're going to have to believe. This isn't easy for me either.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Y—you—you look—uh—different.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I'm old, Ernest. So are you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
We—we had a wonderful life together.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
I couldn't imagine you, Ernest. In my mind, we didn't have a wonderful life. I thought you were dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Forgave me. You forgave me long ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
No. I didn't</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(near tears) 
Oh. </blockquote>

'''EXT—CASTLE'''

[Storm rages outside.]

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[Thunder sounds outside. O'Neill and Teal'c return to the Stargate room from exploring. Daniel and Carter are seated on the stairs to the DHD and reviewing Ernest's journal together.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Doesn't seem to be anybody else around. I tell you, this place used to be pretty sweet. But it's seen better days, if you know what I mean.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I think Professor Littlefield has been alone since he got her.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The storm approaches.</blockquote>

[Catherine and Ernest join them in the Stargate room.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
A pretty big one at that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
It comes every year.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Every year?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Now, look, kids. We're right on the edge of cliff here. I don't think this place could withstand another big hit.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We must take our leave.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, we can't. Not yet. I mean, we've—we've only begun to explore this place. Figure out what it is, what it used to be.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We launched a survey balloon. Now, let's take the Professor and Catherine home. We'll leave the probe here, let it monitor the situation until the storm blows over, and then we'll come back. All right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
I tried for years to make it work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You never tried entering different glyphs in this thing?</blockquote>

[Pointing to the DHD. Daniel then rises up from his seat and steps to up the DHD.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We call this the Dial-Home Device. Basically, you enter the correct address and—</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel. Why do we just show him?</blockquote>

[They all go up the steps to join Daniel at the DHD. They see that the center crystal is destroyed.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
My God.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What the hell? I thought the probe was supposed to detect stuff like this.</blockquote>

[CARTER picks at the shards.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We got visual confirmation of its presence, but the damage was obviously concealed.</blockquote>

[Tries to push in glyphs. Nothing lights up.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's not working</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
It was like that when I got here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
(to Ernest) 
That's why you never came back.</blockquote>

[Ernest nods sullenly, then looks up.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Does this mean we're not going home? </blockquote>

'''EXT—CASTLE'''

[Storm still rages outside.]

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[O'Neill and Daniel are lifting a large stone pillar. Carter and Teal'c are working on the DHD.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Well, since we're going to be here a while, I'd like you to see something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Come on. It's the safest room there is. You know? Especially in a storm.</blockquote>

[Leaves the room, Daniel follows.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Give me a hand.</blockquote>

[O'Neill pulls her up.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Thanks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Carter and Teal'c) 
Keep at it. We'll be back.</blockquote>

[Catherine and O'Neill follow Ernest and Daniel.]

'''INT—MEETING PLACE'''

[Ernest uncloaks a device with a large crystal in the center. Immediately four separate walls light up, each bearing four distinct patterns of alien writing.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What is this place?</blockquote>

[Ernest pokes at a page in his journal that Daniel is holding open indicating he should read it. Daniel reads.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
"I believe this room is some sort of meeting place where four alien races denoted by the symbols and the distinctive writing on the walls would gather…possible to share knowledge or discuss relations somewhat like a united nations of the stars. Catherine agrees."</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
(to Ernest) 
You're right. I would have. </blockquote>

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[CARTER and Teal'c are still working on the DHD. Carter is working with some wires inside the broken center crystal.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
All roads seem to lead here. Which means this is likely the power source.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I believe you are correct.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It will take years to figure out how to put these crystals back properly. I think we might be able to figure out some way to rig the power source directly to the Gate and dial home manually. </blockquote>

'''INT—MEETING PLACE'''

[Looking at the device before. It looks like a DHD.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
This looks familiar.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Touch it.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL touches it and a beam of light shoots up from the device and holographic images of circular, multicolored objects dot the ceiling.]

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

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
It's beautiful!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel? Does this mean anything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, if this was a Mecca of sorts—an alien United Nations—this has to mean something.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks up and recognizes what he's seeing.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Of course! High School chemistry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
One proton, one electron. Hydrogen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Beryllium. Sodium.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL waves his weapon though one of the projected images.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Silver, iron, barium, xenon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Oh, my God. So many electrons. How can you tell?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
I've been here a very long time. Remember?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Excuse me. Are you saying that all of these are atomic…things?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
These images the graphical representations of the basics elements: Electrons revolving around the proton. The number of the electrons indicating the element.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
One hundred and forty-six.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
There are currently only 111 elements on the periodic table.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Only 90 when I last looked.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
This is incredible. I mean, we've only been able to speculate on the actual appearance and structure of an atom. The fact the four completely alien races chose to represent it visually in an almost identical way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The basic elements are what make up the universe. They are the basic building bl— Of course! 
(excitedly) 
How do you ensure universal communication? You reduce the method of communication to the most basic elements common to everyone and everything that exists in the universe. Jack, this is a true universal language.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(to Daniel) 
Turn the page.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Turn the page.</blockquote>

[Ernest touches a portion of the device, and another beam of light shoots up changing the pattern.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Are you saying that this— this is— this is like a book?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
I tried to read it. I tried to understand, but—</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
A hundred and forty-six elements, letters, or word symbols. If they're letters, if they're pictographic, — I mean— this could take a lifetime.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(Sadly) 
More.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Sheepishly) 
Oh. Sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Moves closer to Daniel. 
Daniel, before your head explodes, may I remind that we've got more important things to deal with right now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How can you say that? Don't you know what this could mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Actually, no.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This could be the key to understanding our existence. Everyone, everything's existence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
A collaboration of the knowledge of these four alien species.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
None of which will mean squat if we don't get out of here. </blockquote>

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[CARTER and Teal'c are still working on the DHD. They are stringing wires from the Gate to the DHD. O'Neill and Catherine join them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How's it goin'?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We're trying to connect the power source from the Dial-Home Device directly into the Gate. I'm about to run a test. Where's Daniel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, Ernest is showing him a new toy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Really? What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Some fancy light show that may be the key to our existence or something like that.</blockquote>

[Lightning crashes and some debris falls from the ceiling.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Uh, you wanna pick up the pace on this a little bit?</blockquote>

[Carter connects a wire and the Gate begins to power up with chevrons lighting.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
You did it!</blockquote>

[Then it powers down. As they stand there, the ceiling creaks again and O'Neill grabs Carter by the vest and pulls her away.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get back!</blockquote>

[They tumble down the stairs together as the ceiling crashes down where they were just standing. Teal'c and Catherine run to them as they pick themselves up from the rubble.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Are you all right?</blockquote>

[They all look back at the DHD and go back to where it was. All four see a gaping hole in the floor where the DHD used to be. The sea crashes on the rocks below.]

'''INT—MEETING ROOM'''

[Daniel and Ernest are studying a wall with one of the alien languages on it.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This is how you knew what this place was.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Then you recognize it, too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Othala, the Norse Rune thought to represent the collection of numinous power and knowledge from past generations.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
And the gathering of clans to share a common interest. You know, there's more than just a coincidence here. But that means that humans were here centuries, maybe eons ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Not humans— aliens. This is Thor's race.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Thor was an alien?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, yeah. That's uh— That's another…long story. But a…good one. </blockquote>

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[O'NEILL, CARTER, and Teal'c are working with more wires.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right. Basic survival training. We know what we have. What do we need?</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks over to Catherine who is seated on some rubble.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We have the Stargate. We need the Dial-Home Device.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you, Teal'c</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The element the Gate is made up of absorbs energy directly. Internal functions will convert and store that energy in capacitor-like reservoirs. But the inside wheel will only unlock and spin freely once there's enough reserve power.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So what we need is energy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Mm-hmm. I don't see any electrical outlets. Do you? </blockquote>

'''INT—MEETING ROOM'''

[The elements are whirling slowly around the room. Daniel is trying to videotape the images from different angles.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This is useless. It's not allowing for any relative perspective. I don't understand. How did you incorporate the three-dimensional nature of the information?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Look down.</blockquote>

[Daniel looks at Ernest then looks down to the floor.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Of course. You measured the element's distance from a central point. Degrees from zero around in a circle, and height above the floor.</blockquote>

[O'Neill, Carter, Teal'c and Catherine descend the stairs to the Meeting Room. Daniel notices them finally.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What's up, guys?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Step away from the pedestal, Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What? Daniel looks around.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The Dial-Home Devices just fell through the floor into the ocean.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So what are we going to do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That thing may have a power source in it that we can use to get the Gate working.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh…No! 
(appalled) 
You don't understand— this book may contain knowledge of the universe. I mean, this is— this is meaning-of-life stuff. I have to get more of it down on paper before we leave. There has to be something more you can use. What about using energy from Teal'c's staff?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It isn't powerful enough.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Daniel, please. There's not much time. We have to get inside that thing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
This whole place can join the DHD at the bottom of the ocean at anytime, so please…</blockquote>

[O'Neill sweeps an arc with his hand, indicating that Daniel should move away. Daniel looks at O'Neill irritably.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Great. Shoot it.</blockquote>

[Daniel walks away disgustedly. Teal'c aims his staff weapon and shoots the device. Nothing happens. O'Neill moves closer to it.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Now what?</blockquote>

[O'Neill studies the device as thunder sounds rather loudly around them. All look up at the noise.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm obviously no scientist, but uh, couldn't we use that Ben Franklin thing? </blockquote>

'''INT—ENTRANCE TO CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[O'Neill and Carter are walking into the Stargate room and Carter is talking. They are followed by Teal'c and Catherine.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
The element the Gate is made up of is a superconductor. It'll absorb energy in any form: heat, nuclear, solar, static. If we could channel a lightning strike into the Gate, it might provide us with enough power to dial in and make it though.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
How do we attract lightning to strike the Gate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, not directly. We'll have to rig something up on the roof…and hope that a sudden and enormous charge doesn't destroy the Gate's mechanisms. </blockquote>

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[A mass of wires is laid out and O'Neill is hanging out window and grabs a wire presumably from Teal'c who is on the roof.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We got it, Teal'c.</blockquote>

[O'Neill climbs down and pulls the wire over to the Gate where Carter is to wrap the wire around the ring where she connects what appear to be heavy-duty jumper cables to the wire. In the meantime, Ernest is rummaging through the rubble looking for something and Catherine enters the room.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Daniel won't come up. He's obsessed with that thing. So much like you used to be.</blockquote>

[They both chuckle lightly at her comment.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
The Torment of Tantalus.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Tantalus was a king in Greek mythology banished to Hades, forced to stand in water that receded when he tried to drink.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Everlasting, unending temptation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
He was reaching for something that was…um…out of reach. That sounds familiar.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Some might say that's what makes a man great. If we all accepted what was within our grasp—</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Sometimes what we have is of more value. It takes a great man to recognize that. I didn't. I was a fool.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Ernest, you've suffered enough. No sense wasting time in the past. Right?</blockquote>

[They look at each other for a few moments, then Ernest looks away. He spies something in the rubble that he was looking for.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Ah, look. For the peak of the roof.</blockquote>

[He pulls out the old diving helmet he used when he came through the Gate.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
It will attract the lightning.</blockquote>

[He hands the helmet to Catherine.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
You get Daniel.</blockquote>

[Ernest leaves and Catherine takes the helmet to Teal'c who's just walked in the room, and hands it to him.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Take this to the roof. </blockquote>

'''INT—THE MEETING ROOM'''

[Ernest makes his way down the stares as Daniel stands over the device and pores over a large book, making notes.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
You have to come…now!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Not yet. Come and get me when they've got the Gate running.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
There isn't enough time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I have to finish this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
It's not worth it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Nothing is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, our history as a people would be very different if everyone felt that way.</blockquote>

[Ernest grabs Daniel's arm.]

<blockquote>ERNEST 
No prize is worth attaining if you can never share it! There would be no point! Believe me. (becomes emotional) 
I know.</blockquote>

[Daniel looks hard at Ernest.]

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[Teal'c is crouched down positioning a wire along the ground. He walks to the assembled group who are waiting for lightning to strike and for Ernest and Daniel to appear.]

'''EXT—THE CASTLE TOWERS'''

[There are a couple of claps of thunder and a lightning bolt finally hits the helmet at the top of the spire.]

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[The lightning travels along the wire and encircles the rings via the wires wrapped around it.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Go, Teal'c! Start dialing in! We may only have seconds once the Gate is open.</blockquote>

[O'Neill makes his way out of the room and heads out to find Daniel and Ernest.]

'''INT—THE MEETING ROOM'''

[Daniel is standing over the device again and Ernest is by the stairs. Daniel is still trying to justify their need to study this device further.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What you did was courageous.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
What I did was stupid.</blockquote>

[O'Neill is coming down the steps.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on, boys! We got to go now!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm staying.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Look, I will be fine down here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Ernest) 
Go on. Go on. Daniel, we can come back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No. What if the castle crumbles around the Gate? I mean, this— this could all be lost. If I stay I could unbury the Gate again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What if the Gate falls into the ocean?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL moves closer to Daniel.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm willing to take that risk!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm not!</blockquote>

[O'Neill grabs Daniel by the scruff of his neck.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Let's go!</blockquote>

[O'Neill pulls Daniel away from the device and toward the stairs.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack!</blockquote>

[They stop, and, still keeping a firm grip on Daniel, O'Neill looks at him intently.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(pleading) 
Please.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks at him for a moment, then releases Daniel, allowing Daniel to choose. Daniel makes is way back over to the device, looks at it momentarily and up at the ceiling while O'Neill waits. He then bends over to pick up the book and notes that fell to the ground. Turning away he makes his way over to the stairs and O'Neill follows him up the stairs.]

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[The wormhole is established and Ernest and Catherine are poised to enter the event horizon. Carter waves them on through.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Let's go</blockquote>

[Ernest hesitates to enter. Catherine smiles at him.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
It's a piece of cake.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Not from what I remember.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Go.</blockquote>

[Both Catherine and Ernest go through. Teal'c looks back for O'Neill and Daniel.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Go, Teal'c.</blockquote>

[Reluctantly, he goes through the Gate. Carter looks up at the ceiling begins to crumble.]

[Cut to the doorway. Daniel and O'Neill come running in the room and dive for cover as a portion of the ceiling comes down behind them. Scrambling to their feet, O'Neill pushes Daniel up.]

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

[Carter runs into the wormhole, and O'Neill and Daniel run up the stairs as more debris falls from the ceiling.]

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[Klaxons are sounding and General Hammond is watching as the event horizon shimmers.]

<blockquote>MAN #1 
(Voiceover) 
Stargate team receiving squad, stand ready.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAN #2 
(Voiceover) 
Yes, sir!</blockquote>

[Pan to see a dusty Carter standing by anxiously waiting for O'Neill and Daniel to come through. Over the loud speakers, Davis speaks.]

<blockquote>SGT DAVIS 
Wormhole is destabilizing. Still no travelers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Come on, guys.</blockquote>

[Teal'c stands on the ramp watching the flickering event horizon. Ernest and Catherine are seated on the ramp and receiving medical attention from some med techs.]

'''INT—CASTLE'S GATE ROOM'''

[The wormhole continues to flicker while O'Neill and Daniel try to rise up to their feet. Daniel gets up and dives though, followed closely by O'Neill who also dives in right behind him.]

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[The wormhole flickers, then Daniel and O'NEILL finally fall out of the event horizon on to the ramp. Recovering, they are joined by Teal'c and Carter who help them to their feet.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Close one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ya think?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You don't know how close.</blockquote>

[They move off the ramp as Hammond and Davis look on worriedly from the control room.]

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN ENTRANCE'''

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[The Stargate is revolving. From inside the control room, Daniel, Ernest, O'Neill, and Catherine look on at the coordinates for Ernest's planet are entered.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Chevron Six encoded…Chevron Seven…will not engage.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Catherine look down disappointedly. Daniel turns away from the window and sits down dejectedly.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, I think it's safe to say the place is gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
(hopefully, to Daniel) 
You still have my book.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Captain Carter's working on a computer model right now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And here's the bright side: You're alive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes. 
(to Ernest) 
Thanks to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ERNEST 
Look at it this way: If you ever run into those aliens who made up the language, you can ask them what it means.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
You'd better let us know this time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I will. I promise.</blockquote>

[Ernest grabs Daniel in a sudden embrace, and Daniel laughs. O'Neill then rises out of his chair.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Catherine! Hug me.</blockquote>

[Catherine laughs and embraces O'Neill.]

<blockquote>CATHERINE 
Oh, Jack!</blockquote>

[Catherine lets go of O'Neill and looks at Ernest, who's gazing back fondly at her. They embrace warmly as O'Neill and Daniel look on appreciatively.]

'''TEASER'''

'''EXT—ENTRANCE TO CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(voiceover) 
Dr Jackson, I understand you've come up with some new theory about the Stargate.</blockquote>

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Hammond and SG-1 are sitting at the briefing table with two SFs standing guard, each on opposite sides of the room.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ah, yes, sir. Okay. Uhh…if you study myths worldwide, it looks as if there were two different kinds of star gods. Um. The tyrants who treated their subjects like cattle, demanded absolute obedience, utilized their technology to punish and control.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
As in the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(nods) 
And the culture bearers who used knowledge and their technology to benefit humans.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
So you're saying that the Goa'ulds weren't the only aliens to visit Earth in the past. Wh—How does that affect us today?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We don't think the Goa'uld built the Stargate system. Being parasitical by nature, they just used it to become a dominant race in the galaxy. But some of the good gods, who liked humans, might have used it too, and they could still be out there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Any indication of who they are?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, sir. The Vikings. 
(taps button on laptop to bring up pictures of Norse mythology) 
Now in Norse mythology the gods were powerful warriors. Legend tells us that the god Thor was a friend to humans and protected them from the Etins, being of great power and knowledge who were enemies of mankind. He used a weapon called Thor's Hammer. Now when Thor hurled the hammer, uh, it's supposed to produce thunder and—and lightning. Now that could indicate some sort of, uh, advanced type of energy weapon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sir, I think what Daniel's trying to say is, if there is another bunch of aliens out there who are hostile to the Goa'uld and have equal or superior firepower, we outta look them up.</blockquote>

[Daniel nods.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
They could become allies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I have seen the Hammer sign before. It is the symbol of a world called Cimmeria. All Jaffa are taught the sequence of Stargate symbols to that world.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Why is that, Teal'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
To ensure that no Goa'uld goes there. It is forbidden. Something transpired on Cimmeria that no Goa'uld will speak of.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, I like the sound of that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
So do I, Colonel. All right, you have a go.</blockquote>

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[A MALP is going up the ramp. Hammond enters carrying a box.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel, we'd like you to take this along with you. It's a gift.</blockquote>

[The box is dark brown and about 9 in. X 9 in. X 3 in. in size. On the background of the lid is the Stargate symbol for Earth. In the foreground, from left to right, is a man, a boy, a girl and a woman.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Gee sir, I don't know what to say…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
For the alien friendlies, in the event you succeed in your mission and make contact.</blockquote>

[Daniel comes over from beside the ramp where he was finishing gearing up.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, you had it made. It's great.</blockquote>

[Daniel takes box from O'Neill and looks at it, smiling.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, we asked the Sagan Institute to imagine a sort of…greeting from Earth, if they could somehow hypothetically get it to a distant world. Uh, it's all about who we are. It explains various Earth cultures, religions, the histories.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
(over speakers) 
Chevron one encoding.</blockquote>

[Daniel goes up the ramp to place the box on the MALP. Hammond exits the Gate room.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
(over speakers) 
Chevron two encoded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Time to go to work.</blockquote>

'''EXT—CIMMERIA'''

[Camera looks from base to top of the back of Thor's Hammer, then over the top to see the Stargate and DHD below. The Hammer has Celtic-like designs carved in raised relief on the front and back. Several men with a cart are to the right of the Stargate. Stargate activates, and everyone turns to look. As the wormhole boils out, the men shield their faces with their arms and one man runs off. SG-1 tumbles out, the men laughing at them.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This is…different.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, you're on.</blockquote>

[Men chanting 'Thor! Thor! Thor!' and looking at top of Hammer. The Hammer makes a humming noise.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
It sounds like it's building up some kind of charge.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right Daniel, dial home, we're going back. Now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Just do it. That's an order.</blockquote>

[Men are still chanting 'Thor!' A blue beam comes from the top of the Hammer as Daniel begins dialing—the beam scans him then moves on to Carter, O'Neill, then Teal'c, focusing on his abdomen. Teal'c puts a hand on his stomach in pain.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c! Get outta there!</blockquote>

[Teal'c yelling in pain and beam increasing in intensity. O'Neill runs to push Teal'c out of the beam. Just as O'Neill connects with Teal'c, both vanish. The beam shuts off and natives run, leaving the cart behind. Carter moves to where O'Neill and Teal'c vanished from and looks at the Hammer again. Carter and Daniel look bewildered.]

'''END TEASER'''

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''EXT—CIMMERIA'''

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(looking at Hammer) 
I think that this is Thor's Hammer. 
(steps back two paces) 
I—I…I think they're dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't want to hear that. You said that Thor liked humans, that he used his weapon to protect them. We go back, we bring another SG team through, and we start a search.</blockquote>

[Horse whinnies.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Wait.</blockquote>

[A woman (Gairwyn) on horseback followed by a group of men, all running, come from the distance behind and to the left of the Stargate. The woman stops in front of Carter and Daniel.]

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
You're a little short for gods.</blockquote>

[Carter and Daniel startled.]

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
(dismounts) 
But you came through the portal unharmed, so you must be from Thrudvang, Thor's home in the stars. Hail and welcome.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Actually, we're not uh— 
(puts hand on chest) 
I'm Captain Samantha Carter. 
(gestures at Daniel) 
This is Daniel Jackson.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
My name is Gairwyn. I'm mistress here, my husband is gone a-Viking.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(nods) 
Um, trading, fighting.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
That was in the old days. Nowadays they go to the towns to look for work. It's been a hard season for farmers. Water from the mountains is scarce, but you're welcome at my table.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(quietly) 
Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, thanks, but we have a very serious problem. Two of the men who came through the portal with us—they're gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
Yes. I heard there were two Etins in your company.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Etins?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Goa'ulds? You think that Teal'c and Jack are Goa'ulds?</blockquote>

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
You tricked them here to be rid of them, yes?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No! No, they're friends, and if they're alive we need to find them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
(amazed) 
You're humans, like us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes. You and I may even have some of the same ancestors. We came here from a different world. From Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Midgard.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
Then we are your brothers and sisters. Midgard is the ancient home. Thor brought our people here and 
(looks and gestures at Hammer) 
made this to keep us safe.</blockquote>

[Carter and Daniel look back at the Hammer.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(pointing up at Hammer) 
D'you, do you know how this works? Are they dead?</blockquote>

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
That's a magic beyond our ken. It's said that Thor will come back one day and teach us when we are older.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Gairwyn, would Thor kill a human being in order to kill an Etin?</blockquote>

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
(emphatic) 
Never. Our gods are great and powerful warriors, but they are just and true to their word.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So they may be alive?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Is there anyone who might know where they are?</blockquote>

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
Only one. We call her Kendra. Ten seasons ago she walked through the portal and was taken.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Taken?</blockquote>

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
(shrug) 
That winter some hunters found her wandering half frozen in the mountains.

CARTER 
(to Daniel) 
Maybe the beam transported them somewhere else on the planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to Gairwyn) 
Do you know where we can find this—this Kendra?</blockquote>

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
She lives by herself. I take her things now and then. We can't spare the horses, but I can take you there on foot.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(looks at Carter then nods to Gairwyn) 
Absolutely, please.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
(points to where she and the men came from) 
This way.</blockquote>

[Gairwyn raises her arm in goodbye to the crowd of men behind the Stargate. Carter, Daniel, and Gairwyn walk between the Hammer and DHD off screen.]

'''INT—CAVE'''

[The cave is dimly lit with candles with water dripping from the roof. O'Neill and Teal'c are lying on the ground next to the wall, unconscious. O'Neill starts awake and sits straight up, grabbing his weapon. He gets to his knees, surveying the cave.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c?</blockquote>

[Teal'c wakes and gets quickly to his knees, hand on his abdomen. He rips open his shirt and the symbiote comes halfway out of the pouch and screeches.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Uh, is Junior okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Yes…But the beam caused the Goa'uld I carry great pain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm—sorry to hear that.</blockquote>

[There is a bluish light coming from behind the camera. O'Neill turns to look at the source.]

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

[Teal'c looks at O'Neill and O'Neill points behind the camera. Both get swiftly to their feet, weapons ready. The camera switches to a very tall man with long brown hair and beard, black jerkin, helmet, cloak, and silver arm guards, who is holding a golden hammer. Man (Thor) shakes his head slightly. Camera looks at O'Neill and Teal'c over Thor's shoulder.]

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

<blockquote>THOR 
I am Thor, Supreme Commander of the Asgard Fleet. The High Council of the Asgard has designated Cimmeria a safe world for developing sentient species by unanimous decree, Era 40.73.29. The Goa'uld System Lords were so informed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah, we're not Goa'ulds. 
(points at Teal'c) 
He carries one around in him, but he doesn't have much choice in the matter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
You were warned not to come here. Under pain of death.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Look, I'm Colonel Jack O'Neill from Earth. I happen to know you spent some time there in our past.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
For crimes against the living host and all those you have murdered and enslaved the sentence is death.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(taking several slow steps forward) 
Look, um…We…came here to…see you.</blockquote>

[O'Neill runs his gun through Thor, disrupting the image.]

<blockquote>THOR 
This is your prison. Your technology will not function.</blockquote>

[O'Neill runs his hand back and forth through the image, disrupting it again.]

<blockquote>THOR 
There are no luxuries, no worshippers, no slaves to do you bidding…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, I think we just got the answering machine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
…only basic sustenance. And time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, well great, thanks—thanks for the chat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We should hear the remainder of the message.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THOR 
When you tire of this existence, go to the Hall of Mjollnir and face the Hammer. 
(Thor holds out Hammer in right hand) 
There is no escape. Only the host can leave this place. Alive.</blockquote>

[Recording shuts off, image disappears.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Goa'uld trap.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
So it would seem. If I attempt to leave this place, the Goa'uld I carry will be destroyed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
By a hammer?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You must leave without me. If I stay, I will remain safe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Just relax, Teal'c. I'm not goin' anywhere. Lets just find this…Hall of Mohair or whatever it's called.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c go to explore the cave.]

'''EXT—CIMMERIA'''

[Gairwyn, Carter and Daniel are walking through a very rocky area, at the bottom of a steep slope. They come upon a small cottage and lean-to style shed at the base of a grey cliff. There is a small fire between the cottage and shed. Kendra and a blond boy are sitting just outside the shed. Kendra pulls out a small round piece of Goa'uld technology that she places on her hand.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No!</blockquote>

[Daniel reaches for his sidearm and Carter brings her weapon up.]

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
Shh.</blockquote>

[Kendra looks over to them.]

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
It's all right.</blockquote>

[Kendra activates the device over the boy's forehead and brings it down to his right wrist.]

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Moonlight flow in might and main, knit the bones and take the pain. 
(takes strip of cloth wrapped around wrist off) 
Now, the next time you want to fight, choose a boy your own size.</blockquote>

[The boy runs off. Gairwyn, Carter and Daniel go over to Kendra.]

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Gairwyn, my friend. Hail and welcome.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
This is Carter and Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hail.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hi—Hail.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
They came from the portal, from Midgard, the first home. They need your help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What did you do to that boy?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
He had a broken wrist. I healed it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Then why did he run away?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Because of this. 
(turns and shows Carter and Daniel scar on back of neck)</blockquote>

[Carter and Daniel jump back a step. Can hear weapons being moved.]

<blockquote>KENDRA 
(turning to face Carter and Daniel) 
It is the mark of what I ''used'' to be.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
When a Goa'uld takes over a human host, it's permanent.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Not here. Thor's Hammer drove it from my body and restored me to my true self.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The "it"? Meaning the parasite that was inside of you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Is gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
My God.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Thor's Hammer, the stone by the Gate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
No, the Hammer is deep underground 
(gestures behind them to the cliff) 
inside the mountain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
As long as I have known her, Kendra has harmed no one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
My wife, Sha're, is now as you once were. She has been taken by a Goa'uld and—If what you say is true—</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
It's true.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Then help us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Help us to find our friends.</blockquote>

'''INT—CAVE'''

[O'Neill and Teal'c come around a corner into a passage lined with a row of braces running from the floor, up the side, across the top, and down the other side to the floor.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You should not have attempted to rescue me from the beam. If you had not done so, you would not be here now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah, you'd have done the same for me. Of course you're not going to find me walking around with one of those Goa'uld larva in my gut, but hey.</blockquote>

[They come out of the passage into a more open area with a small pool. They find several bones between a few large rocks at the far edge of the pool. O'Neill sits on one of the rocks and Teal'c squats beside the bones. They each pick one up.]

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
These Goa'uld died with their human hosts. The marks on these bones—they are from a cutting instrument. But not metal.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I believe they were made by large powerful teeth. These bodies did not die of natural causes. They were killed, and then eaten.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's obvious some wild animal found it's way in. There's got to be a way out. We find it, and we're gone.</blockquote>

[O'Neill gets up and walks back the way they came, patting Teal'c on the shoulder as he passes. As Teal'c gets up to follow, camera looks across pool to the near edge and a dark shape. After a second, the shape moves—a hand comes out of the water and we see two large fingers with very big claws.]

'''EXT—KENDRA'S HOME'''

[Kendra walks between the shed and fire carrying a jug over to Gairwyn, Carter and Daniel who are sitting at a table with bench seats.]

<blockquote>KENDRA 
(pouring drink) 
I call it the Labyrinth. 
(hands drinking horn to Daniel) 
It is the place where the Goa'uld was destroyed. 
(pours for Carter}</blockquote>

[Carter sniffs the drink.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How is it done? Did you feel it?</blockquote>

[Kendra pours a drink for Gairwyn.]

<blockquote>KENDRA 
(quietly) 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Was it painful?</blockquote>

[Kendra sits.]

<blockquote>KENDRA 
It was nothing like the suffering I—watched myself inflict on others.…For all those years…So many. Your human friend, O'Neill…he can walk out unharmed. All you need do is wait.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Teal'c is our friend too. He is Jaffa, not Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Jaffa? A friend? They are as guilty as those they serve.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This Jaffa gave up his rank, left his home so he could join us and fight the Goa'uld. His dream is to see his people free.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
But if the Goa'uld larva within him is removed, he will die. See, once a Jaffa caries a—a larva it—it acts as his immune system.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
I know all I want to know of Jaffa.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
If the Hammer drives the Goa'uld from him and he dies, so be it. It is his penance for serving the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Teal'c was in the service of Apophis, but…He saved our lives and he helped us escape, he is one of us now.</blockquote>

[Kendra moves to stand in front of the fire. The wind suddenly blows hard.]

<blockquote>KENDRA 
(to wind, petulant) 
Did I ask your counsel? 
(turns to Carter and Daniel) 
The Valkyrie ride the wind. They want me to help you. They say you speak the truth. They tell me…that I must take you there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GAIRWYN 
This is right. Go with Thor, my friend.</blockquote>

[Gairwyn leaves.]

<blockquote>KENDRA 
I will take you. But first I must consult the runes.</blockquote>

'''INT—ROOM IN THE MOUNTAIN'''

[Large room, high ceilinged with lighted lamps hanging from chains. On several walls there are carvings of runes in a circle around pictures. O'Neill and Teal'c enter from the right through a doorway, the top cut like a triangle. They look around.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, take a shot at that light with your staff weapon.</blockquote>

[Teal'c attempts to activate the staff weapon, but it won't work.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It will not function.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, that's what he said would happen as long as we were in here.</blockquote>

[O'Neill shoots at the lamp. The bullet hits the chain and the lamp falls to floor in shower of sparks, breaking when it hits the ground.]

'''INT—CAVE BY POOL'''

[See Unas' hand—Unas raises his head and listens after he hears the gunshot.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(voiceover) 
This race may have considered projectile weapons too primitive to be concerned about.</blockquote>

'''INT—ROOM IN THE MOUNTAIN'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, here. 
(hands sidearm to Teal'c)</blockquote>

[Teal'c takes the sidearm and puts it away. O'Neill sits on a stone bench carved from the wall. Teal'c moves to stand next to him, almost leaning against the wall.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The message said, "Only the host can leave here alive."</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Perhaps this could be of some benefit to the boy who was your friend.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Skaara. Yeah, I thought'a that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
And the wife of DanielJackson. Perhaps if they could be brought here, the Goa'uld who took them as hosts could be purged.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(sigh) 
Maybe.</blockquote>

[Hear a splash—O'Neill stands and raises his gun.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What is it, O'Neill?</blockquote>

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

[Teal'c looks at him, eyebrow raised.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Never mind.</blockquote>

'''INT—POOL'''

[Unas is gone.]

'''EXT—KENDRA'S HOME'''

[Kendra places a rock between two others to complete a large circle. There are three folded blankets spaced on the ground inside the circle. Kendra is kneeling in the circle holding a staff and looking to the sky.]

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Mighty Thor, God of Thunder and Lightning, wield your Hammer and protect me. 
(stands and turns to Carter and Daniel) 
Now you must sit in the circle and wait with me. 
(she gets up and leaves the circle}</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
For what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
A sign from Thor himself.</blockquote>

[Kendra puts the staff in the shed. Daniel steps into the circle.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Great, another sign.</blockquote>

[Carter puts her gun on the ground and goes into the circle.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to Carter, as Carter and Daniel sit on blankets) 
She's probably afraid to go back there, maybe if we offer her some moral support.</blockquote>

[Kendra comes back and sits on the remaining blanket.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to Kendra) 
How much do you remember of your life before?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Much. I was a beautiful child.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Is that bad?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
On Jebanna, beauty is a curse.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Because the Goa'uld want perfect hosts?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What happened?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Marduk discovered our secret and raided the temple where they tried to hide me.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Because of my training in the temple, the Goa'uld who took possession of my body could not take complete control over my mind. A part of me—myself—remained.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Something of the host survives.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How did you end up here? Teal'c said the Goa'uld made this a forbidden planet ages ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
And so it is. But I knew my beast. She hungered for conquest. So I became the voice within. I taunted her, I whispered of rumors that Cimmeria must hold a wealth of riches for one bold enough to take it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You actually influenced the Goa'uld that had taken you over?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Yes. She came to Cimmeria. And I hoped only for a quick death…escape. But we were taken to the Labyrinth, a dark and terrifying place. Until Thor's Hammer set me free. And I have honored his ways and his people ever since.</blockquote>

[Thunder. Camera looks at dark clouds over distant hills.]

<blockquote>KENDRA 
It is a sign from Thor. Now we can go.</blockquote>

'''INT—ROOM IN THE MOUNTAIN'''

[Back of O'Neill's hand resting against a wall with water flowing down it.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Water. 
(takes hand off wall and shakes water off) 
Give it enough time, it'll bring down walls. Even walls just like that. So in a couple hundred years, we'll be free.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks toward the center of the room and looks over to the entrance—we see Unas' shadow. O'Neill smacks Teal'c on the shoulder to get his attention. Teal'c turns to the door.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What the hell is that?</blockquote>

[Unas enters.]

<blockquote>UNAS 
Jaffa. I am Unas. The First One.</blockquote>

[Teal'c moves toward Unas.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You. Do not. Exist.</blockquote>

<blockquote>UNAS 
Kill the human…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(takes couple of steps forward) 
Excuse me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>UNAS 
…And we will feast together.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I no longer serve the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>UNAS 
We shall see.</blockquote>

[Unas approaches O'Neill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey! Just stay put right there. 
(raises gun)</blockquote>

<blockquote>UNAS 
Weapons are of no use here. 
(throws Teal'c aside with one sweep of his arm}</blockquote>

[O'Neill shoots Unas several times. Unas staggers back, then moves forward again. O'Neill takes a couple of steps closer and opens fire again. Unas hits the wall and slides down it until he's sitting on the floor. O'Neill goes over to Unas, gun ready. When Unas doesn't move, he cautiously lowers the gun. Teal'c gets up and comes over, sidearm out.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(kneels next to Unas and feels for pulse) 
The First One is dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah well that's fine by me. C'mon.</blockquote>

[O'Neill leaves. Teal'c kneels next to Unas a few seconds longer, then leaves. Unas' eyes glow yellow/orange.]

'''EXT—CIMMERIA'''

[Kendra, Daniel and Carter leaving Kendra's home. Shot fades to shot of Kendra, Daniel and Carter walking to path at bottom of hill of rocks. Shot fades to shot of the three walking single-file up a rocky hill at sunset. Kendra points ahead of them as scene fades to…]

'''INT—CAVE'''

[Hear short roar as O'Neill meets up with Teal'c. Teal'c turns quickly, gun ready.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What? Teal'c, will you relax? That thing's dead, for cryin' out loud.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I believe I heard a sound.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well there wouldn't be two of those things in there. Would there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If there were, they would surely battle to the death.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So wha'd you mean when you told that thing it didn't exist?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Unas is believed to have been the first host. Born of the same primordial waters as the Goa'uld. He became a myth; much like your vampyr.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That thing was a Goa'uld?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Yes. O'NEILL 
I thought they preferred human hosts.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
There are other species far older that have been used as hosts. Some with immeasurable power and savagery.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, I wonder how long it's been trapped down here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Perhaps a thousand years. Unas can utilize long periods of sleep to survive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It is dead, right? We don't have to go back there and drive a stake through its chest or anything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The old stories say Unas had great regenerative powers. But those are tales told to frighten children. It is a myth.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's good.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks down the tunnel.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I believe.</blockquote>

[Teal'c starts walking, and O'Neill stops and turns.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You 'believe'?</blockquote>

[O'Neill starts walking again when Teal'c is next to him.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am certain.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Just a myth?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
A myth.</blockquote>

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

'''EXT—CIMMERIA'''

[Looking up rock hill. Kendra comes up opposite side and kneels on top. Carter and Daniel come up on either side.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We're not lost 
(kneels) 
are we?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
It was long ago. Everything was covered in snow. It all looks different now.</blockquote>

[Carter walks off in disgust.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Kendra—It's all right, just…take your time. Kendra…when the Goa'uld was destroyed within you—what did it feel like, exactly?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Your wife?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I have to know if there's any hope.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
It was very painful, like…needles stabbing inside the head. The beast will do anything to stay in control. It's a battle of wills. Many give up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well Sha're wasn't trained in a temple like you, but she had a spirit, she was, she was a fighter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
You loved her very much.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I still do. I dream about her. It's as if…some part of her is reaching out to me, or maybe that's just wishful thinking. I don't know</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
No. You still are connected. If you find her, and bring her here, I believe there is hope.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Thank you.</blockquote>

[Carter returns.]

<blockquote>KENDRA 
I'm sure now. 
(pointing) 
This is the way.</blockquote>

[They walk off to the left.]

'''INT—CAVE'''

[O'Neill and Teal'c walk out of a tunnel and stop. O'Neill looks around with his flashlight. They continue up another tunnel. Back in the room with the hanging lamps, Unas pulls a bullet out and looks at it. Unas roars. O'Neill and Teal's stop and look back.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay. That's no myth.</blockquote>

[Unas still roaring.]

'''EXT—AQUEDUCT'''

[Kendra, Carter and Daniel are walking on raised walkways between the channels of the aqueduct. Kendra, Carter and Daniel are walking along an aqueduct.]

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Gairwyn told me Thor built this centuries ago. It brings the water from the mountains 
(points back the way they came) 
to his people in the towns.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Thor is generous.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Yes. This means we are close.</blockquote>

[Kendra walks ahead.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Daniel. She said that hours ago. Now either she's lost and doesn't want to admit it, or—</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I don't think that she would mislead us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Maybe it's not on purpose, maybe it's not even conscious!</blockquote>

[Daniel jumps over a channel to stand in front of Carter and they stop.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What she suffered on her world and while being a Goa'uld will translate anywhere as incredible abuse.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Doesn't the fact that she interpreted those gusts of wind and thunder as signs mean something?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Part of her wants to face it all again and another part clearly doesn't, and it looks like the part that doesn't is winning. We're wasting valuable time here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay. Gairwyn said that hunters found her. Well most hunters don't necessarily travel in a straight line. They follow game. They would not risk hunger just to get her back a day sooner.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Daniel, your belief that Kendra can somehow help bring Sha're back to you, it doesn't make it true.</blockquote>

[Daniel walks off.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(calls after him) 
And it certainly doesn't make her reliable!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(turns back to Carter) 
Haven't you ever had a feeling that made absolutely no logical sense and it turned out to be right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
(shouting from a distance) 
This way!</blockquote>

[Daniel jumps over to middle walkway, the one Kendra was on. Carter and Daniel jog to catch up.]

'''INT—CAVE'''

[O'Neill and Teal'c round a corner, flashlights on.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You sure we didn't come this way before?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We have not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It looks awfully familiar.</blockquote>

[Unas appears at other end of tunnel and moves towards them.]

<blockquote>UNAS 
Your weapons cannot kill me! I know the secrets of the Labyrinth. I could help you escape.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
A map would be nice.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c open fire. Unas, wounded again, staggers back into another tunnel.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
C'mon!</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c go back the way they came. Unas gets up and follows them.]

'''EXT—CIMMERIA'''

[Dirt hill strewn with pieces of wood.]

<blockquote>KENDRA 
(pointing up hill) 
There.</blockquote>

[They go up the hill and look at a carving affixed to a rock wall. It looks just like the top of the Hammer in front of the Gate.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(points up) 
The Hammer.</blockquote>

[The Hammer is above the cave entrance.]

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Yes, this is where I came out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, good. What do you remember about the Labyrinth?</blockquote>

[Carter moves toward the entrance.]

<blockquote>KENDRA 
It's difficult, my beast wandered forward and back many times. I do remember the place of entrance where Thor speaks to the Goa'ulds.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Thor is inside?!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
He seems to be. But he speaks the same message again and again. My beast believed he was not real. There were long tunnels, leading from one room to another. And…something else in there, something…alive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
I don't know.</blockquote>

[Carter and Daniel exchange a look.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Look, you don't have to go any further if you don't want to, okay?</blockquote>

[Kendra nods. It thunders.]

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Thor asks that I try.</blockquote>

'''INT—HALL OF MJOLLNIR'''

[Large open room lit by candles in bowls hanging from the ceiling by chains. There is a carving (snakes?) above the doorway. Teal'c and O'Neill enter. At the other end is a doorway shaped like the Hammer. O'Neill goes through. Teal'c looks at the doorway. O'Neill comes to a carved door in the chamber beyond that swings open as he approaches. He looks out around the door.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah. This is it! We're outta here, let's go.</blockquote>

[Teal'c steps into the hammer doorway and is trapped in a beam of red light. The carved door shuts. Teal'c yells in pain.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, get outta there!</blockquote>

[Teal'c can't move so O'Neill tackles him, knocking him back through the doorway. The Hammer shuts off.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Thank you, O'Neill.</blockquote>

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

[There is a growl. We see Unas' shadow through the entrance to Hall of Mjollnir.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If I am to die, it will be as a warrior, facing my enemy.</blockquote>

[O'Neill takes the magazine out of his gun and looks inside.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Last mag. Hell. Why not? 
(replaces magazine]</blockquote>

'''EXT—CAVE ENTRANCE'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's okay, stay here.</blockquote>

[Carter and Daniel getting ready to go in—making sure weapons loaded, tightening chin straps on helmets.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You've done enough, really.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
In the temple we were taught that fear is the greatest enemy. I must face my fear.</blockquote>

[Carter nods, Daniel looks back at Carter. Looking out from cave as Carter, then Kendra, then Daniel enter.]

'''INT—HALL OF MJOLLNIR'''

[Unas steps into the doorway.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Are you considering the same tactic as I?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, the cliché is "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" And the answer's yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>UNAS 
Human. You can save yourself. Why do you stay? 
(Unas enters Hall) 
Jaffa, why do you ally yourself with a slave? Once, the Goa'uld were all as Unas. We were few—but we ruled millions! We fed upon the weak to keep ourselves strong. I will take pleasure in killing and devouring you both!</blockquote>

[Unas roars as he attacks. He throws O'Neill against the wall with one blow. Teal'c grapples with him, and when Unas is in front of the Hammer they open fire.]

'''INT—JUST OUTSIDE CARVED DOOR'''

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Gunfire.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They're in trouble.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
It's still alive.</blockquote>

'''INT—HALL OF MJOLLNIR'''

[O'Neill and Teal'c still firing. Unas right in front of the Hammer. He holds his arms out so he doesn't stagger backwards into it.]

'''INT—JUST OUTSIDE CARVED DOOR'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
We're so close! 
(Daniel hits wall with shoulder) 
Feel around the door, see if there's a trigger somewhere.</blockquote>

'''INT—HALL OF MJOLLNIR'''

[O'Neill and Teal'c shoot more. Unas sinks down, groaning.]

'''INT—JUST OUTSIDE CARVED DOOR'''

<blockquote>KENDRA 
There's one more thing I can try. I learned this from the songs of Thor's people. 
(moves farther down wall and places hands on wall, right hand in an outline of a hand) 
Call the rune flow, read the might, see the rainbow, test the white! The door opens. Wall and door are covered in hand outlines.</blockquote>

'''INT—HALL OF MJOLLNIR'''

[Unas gets up and lurches forward. Teal'c rushes at him and pushes him into the Hammer. Unas chokes Teal'c—Teal'c is trapped in the beam too. Unas is roaring.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
There is no other way.</blockquote>

[Unas roaring in anger and pain. Carter, Daniel and Kendra are in the outer room and watching. O'Neill yanks Teal'c out of the beam. Unas is in the beam a few moments longer, then falls into the Hall as the Hammer shuts off. Teal'c kneels next to Unas and places a hand on his neck. Carter, Daniel and Kendra enter the Hall.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Without the healing power of the Goa'uld, this body will no longer regenerate. There is too much damage.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Now I see why they call you friend.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(to O'Neill) 
This is Kendra. She brought us here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to O'Neill) 
She had firsthand knowledge; she was a Goa'uld.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c look at Kendra.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(gesturing to Hammer) 
The Hammer works. Do you know what this means?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's the only way out of here, Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
But what this thing can do for Sha're and Skaara…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c's here now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
And here I will remain. I was with those who took the ones you love.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No. You're part of this family now. We're not leaving you behind.</blockquote>

[O'Neill picks up the staff weapon and hands it to Daniel.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
This thing won't work in here. Try it from out there.</blockquote>

[O'Neill hands Daniel the staff weapon. Daniel walks into the outer chamber. He raises the staff and pauses.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(quietly) 
C'mon.</blockquote>

[Daniel activates the staff weapon and fires at the top of the Hammer. Blue lightning ricochets around it. Daniel lowers the staff weapon slowly, sad, maybe a bit regretful.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Did it work?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There's one way to find out.</blockquote>

[O'Neill gestures for Teal'c to go ahead. Teal'c pauses right before stepping through Hammer. He walks slowly through then turns to look back at it. He moves to stand beside Daniel.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Thank you, Daniel Jackson.</blockquote>

[Daniel gives the staff weapon to Teal'c.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well at least we know it can be done, right?</blockquote>

'''EXT—CIMMERIA'S STARGATE'''

[Camera looking up at back of Hammer. O'Neill and Kendra walk around the Hammer.]

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Now that the Hammer is lost, I'm not sure what we'll do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah, you should be all right. The Goa'uld don't know the Hammer was destroyed.</blockquote>

[Everyone is standing next to the Hammer.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Seal up the cave. If they come back at least they'll be put somewhere safe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
I want to thank you for helping me have the courage to face my greatest fears.</blockquote>

[She opens a pouch and takes out a rune stone.]

<blockquote>KENDRA 
This is…to remember our world.</blockquote>

[She gives the stone to Daniel.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We will never forget.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And we'd like to come back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh! 
(running to the MALP) 
I almost forgot. 
(retrieves Sagan box and hands to Kendra) 
Here. It's a gift. Actually it's for Thor, or his people in case they ever come back. It's all about our people, who we are, that we would like to be friends.</blockquote>

[It thunders. They all look up.]

<blockquote>KENDRA 
Thor is pleased.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's great. Tell him we'd love to meet him someday. In person.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENDRA 
(nods) 
It is safe for you to travel, you should go now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, you want to start dialing home. Before it starts raining?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Right.</blockquote>

[Daniel goes to the DHD, O'Neill and Carter following, and starts dialing. Kendra and Teal'c look at each other for a moment. Kendra is smiling. They nod to each other. Teal'c goes to join the rest of SG-1 by the DHD. We watch SG-1 enter the wormhole from a distance on a slight hill. Several men are scattered about, watching.]

'''TEASER'''

'''EXT—PLANET—DAY'''

[People dressed in colorful togas walk around a small orange building with columns.]

'''INT—TEMPLE—DAY'''

[A young man, ALEKOS, dressed in a purple toga with a wreath of leaves around his head pleads before a statue.]

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
Give them strength, Lord. Let their hearts beat as one.</blockquote>

[The statue seems to be made of stone; a Greek-like warrior standing in a chariot resting between two winged horses. He is holding a lightning bolt, as if about to throw it. There is a noise, and ALEKOS stares at the statue in disbelief. Beyond the statue is a Stargate with six chevrons lit. The seventh chevron lights up, and the Stargate activates. ALEKOS runs, looking panicked. TEAL'C, DANIEL, O'NEILL and CARTER stand on a platform in front of the Stargate, surveying the room. It appears to be some kind of temple. They walk down the steps toward the statue. O'NEILL waves an arm, gesturing to the statue.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And who might this be, Daniel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm not sure…Maybe early Greek, but I don't recognize the god form.</blockquote>

[As TEAL'C passes the column where ALEKOS hides, he peers out. Somewhere in the temple, a woman screams. ALEKOS jumps, disappearing around the column. O'NEILL and DANIEL, CARTER and TEAL'C turn. As O'NEILL directs his team with hand gestures, TEAL'C takes point, and SG-1 move toward the sound. O'NEILL and CARTER round a column and discover ALEKOS bent over a young woman, obviously in labor. TEAL'C and DANIEL come around on the opposite side, TEAL'C pointing his staff weapon at the unfortunate couple. The young woman, THETYS, screams in fear, and ALEKOS moves quickly to defend her.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sorry. We, we…we didn't mean to scare anyone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALEKOS looks up at them with fear.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
You are not Pelops.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No…no…(pointing to the statue) 
Uh, you mean him? Uh, no. We're, we're visitors…friends.</blockquote>

[THETYS pants, obviously in pain.]

THETYS 
Husband, the child is near. Please…</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
(panicked) 
The midwife is gone, I…I do not know the birthing mysteries. And the village is too far. Please? Help us.</blockquote>

[DANIEL and TEAL'C look from the couple to CARTER. O'NEILL motions CARTER toward the woman. CARTER looks back at them.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What? Well, don't look at me, I don't know what to do.</blockquote>

[THETYS screams again as SG-1 looks on with shock.]

'''END TEASER'''

'''ROLL CREDITS'''

'''INT—TEMPLE—DAY'''

[DANIEL is bent over THETYS, who is in the midst of giving birth. Holding her hand and wincing, CARTER sits beside her, watching DANIEL.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Concentrating) 
Push. Push. Push.</blockquote>

[THETYS groans, pants and pushes.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You're doing just fine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Where did you learn how to do this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh…Uh, on a dig in the Yucatan. Um, after the first one, I made friends with the local midwives and they taught me a lot.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How many babies have you delivered?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh…two. (looking uncomfortable) 
Uh, counting today.</blockquote>

[CARTER's eyes widen, but she turns back to encourage THETYS in her breathing. Across the temple, O'NEILL is pacing in front of the Stargate while ALEKOS sits, looking uneasy, on a platform nearby. TEAL'C stands by the DHD. All three look up at the cry of a baby. DANIEL walks out from behind a column, pulling off gloves. They go to meet him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Alekos…it's a boy.</blockquote>

[ALEKOS grabs DANIEL by the shoulders and hugs him exuberantly.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, congratulations.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
May he grow strong and bring…you…honor.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C's voice trails off as ALEKOS disappears, running to join THETYS.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(with a smile, to DANIEL) 
You never cease to amaze me with all your talents.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Thank you. (He looks around the temple) 
Wow, this…place is incredible. It's like we just stepped into the citadel at Mycenae.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thought you said it was Greek?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, uh…Mycenae was an ancient city in the southern Peloponnese region.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(with a slight smile) 
Greece.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(shaking his head) 
Why do I do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>Carter (from off-screen) 
 
Wait, I don't think you should be walking right now, I mean…</blockquote>

[ALEKOS and THETYS, carrying the baby walk into view. CARTER is walking slightly to the side, holding out one arm, as if trying to be there to catch the baby if THETYS drops him. THETYS looks perfectly healthy.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Shouldn't you be resting? Daniel, shouldn't she…</blockquote>

<blockquote>THETYS 
(laughing) 
I'm fine. I'm fine. We wish for you all to be the first to see…</blockquote>

[THETYS holds the baby out towards DANIEL and pulls back the blanket covering him. On his arm is a small pyramid-shaped mark.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
A birthmark.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
(embracing his wife and child) 
A tri-point. It will bring him luck. (to Daniel) 
I would call him Dan-El, to honor the stranger who birthed him.

DANIEL 
(awkwardly) 
Oh, you don't have to do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THETYS 
May we offer you the hospitality of our village?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, that'd be nice. Who are you folks?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
We are the Chosen.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(suspiciously) 
Where do the gods reside?</blockquote>

[THETYS looks up at ALEKOS as they both laugh.]

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
Doesn't everyone know?</blockquote>

[DANIEL, O'NEILL and TEAL'C just look at him.]

<blockquote>THETYS 
In the sky. Of course.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(smiling) 
Of course. </blockquote>

'''EXT—PLANET (ARGOS)—DAY'''

[ALEKOS holds baby DAN-EL up to the sky, displaying him.]

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
I have a son!</blockquote>

[ALEKOS lowers the baby, kisses THETYS and places him in her arms. The people of the village, dressed in a colorful array of togas and draped cloth, cluster around, patting ALEKOS and THETYS, praising the baby.]

<blockquote>CROWD 
Yes! 
Look at him. 
What a lovely child. 
A lovely child.</blockquote>

[There is joy and celebration as the crowd of villagers chatter with each other. They move across the village. The members of SG-1 sit on the sides of a fountain in the center of the celebration, observing them.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Look at these people. I guess they've never heard the word unattractive here.</blockquote>

[A young woman moves among SG-1, offering them refreshments. DANIEL takes a piece of fruit.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They all look as healthy as a Jaffa.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's a good thing, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>Carter 
I don't see anyone who looks like they're over forty.</blockquote>

[Another woman carries a tray of tall glasses, filled with some sort of beverage. DANIEL takes one. O'NEILL looks across the square as a young woman takes DAN-EL from THETYS and cradles him. She looks up, and their eyes meet. She raises her eyebrows and smiles flirtatiously. O'NEILL gazes at her.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Um. Do things feel a little…off…here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Are you crazy? It's a paradise.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(absently) 
Yeah, sure, have an apple. What could happen?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL has kept his eyes on the young woman throughout the entire conversation. As he finishes speaking, she approaches, holding a covered plate.]

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
I am Kynthia. Welcome to our village.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you. Jack O'Neill.</blockquote>

[KYNTHIA smiles at him and uncovers the dish to reveal a fancy cake. She offers it to him. O'NEILL takes a piece. KYNTHIA smiles at him and watches as he takes a bite. DANIEL looks from O'NEILL to the cake with curiosity. O'NEILL takes a bite and smiles at KYNTHIA.]

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
(anxiously) 
It is pleasing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(nods) 
Very. (to DANIEL) 
You should have some.</blockquote>

[DANIEL reaches out to take a piece, but KYNTHIA pulls the dish away.]

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
(to O'NEILL, never glancing at DANIEL) 
It is only for you.</blockquote>

[Beside O'NEILL, CARTER laughs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Only for me? 
(takes the dish, smiles and nods) 
Thanks.</blockquote>

[KYNTHIA saunters off, joining a group of young women. They greet her with giggles and squeals of delight.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(smirking) 
"It is only for you."</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(grinning) 
I think you have a fan, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I believe this woman wishes to spend time with O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(still eating) 
Thank you, Teal'c.</blockquote>

[CARTER laughs again. O'NEILL looks at her; she clears her throat and straightens her face.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This place must be loaded with artifacts. That statue in there, for example, must be the Mycenaean hero, Pelops, who fought from his winged chariot, hurling lightning bolts.</blockquote>

[In the middle of DANIEL'S speech, O'NEILL blinks. While watching KYNTHIA with her friends, his vision blurs.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Poetic way to describe a Goa'uld Death Glider.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah, probably.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
These people are obviously not laborers.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL holds the plate away from his body, chewing thoughtfully, seeming to admire his reflection in the shiny surface.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I must wonder why a Goa'uld would bring them to this planet. Perhaps it was a good Goa'uld.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL lets out a shout of laughter, spraying pieces of the cake. DANIEL looks at him, nonplussed.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(chortles, his mouth full) 
Right! Like there is such a thing.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C raises one eyebrow. DANIEL stares at O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I did not intend for my statement to be humorous.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(with amusement, around a mouthful of food) 
Trust me, they weren't.</blockquote>

[A giggling group of KYNTHIA's friends surround O'NEILL, pulling him to his feet.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(fatuously) 
Hello, girls…</blockquote>

[O'NEILL seems happy as the girls lead him away. CARTER jumps to her feet.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh, Colonel? Where're you going? Hello?</blockquote>

[DANIEL and TEAL'C also rise, equally concerned. Several Argosians approach them, catching at their clothing and patting them soothingly.]

<blockquote>MAN 
Please, sit down.</blockquote>

[Across from them, O'NEILL is settled on a bench and the girls disappear into one of the buildings. CARTER, DANIEL and TEAL'C sit back down, several Argosians at their feet. Music starts to play as KYNTHIA comes out wearing a sheer, long, sleeveless robe with butterfly attachments and a train. Sticks sewn into the lining rest in her hands; she holds them up and crossed in front of her, so that the material hides her face. Several young women carry the trailing edges of the robe, spreading them out and setting them down as KYNTHIA comes to a halt in front of O'NEILL. Several voices from the crowd cry out.]

<blockquote>VOICES 
Ah. 
She is beautiful! 
Yes.</blockquote>

[KYNTHIA stands in front of O'NEILL. As the people quiet, the music gets louder and she begins dancing. She holds the sticks out to the sides, swaying and twirling for O'NEILL, who stares at her, mesmerized, his vision blurring.]

[As the music gets faster, KYNTHIA twirls and, for O'NEILL, the world around her blurs; he can see only her. KYNTHIA bends down before him, wrapping the wings of her dress around him, close enough to kiss. He stares at her. KYNTHIA stands and pulls the unresisting O'NEILL behind her, leading him into one of the buildings. The villagers laugh and exclaim their appreciation.]

[DANIEL, TEAL'C and CARTER rise to their feet. ALEKOS approaches them.]

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
Unto every man the creator gives one hundred blissful days. It is a sin not to celebrate each and every one.</blockquote>

[ALEKOS hands one of the goblets he is carrying to CARTER. She looks at it suspiciously.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
A hundred day celebration? (inhales) 
Guess we should pace ourselves. </blockquote>

'''INT—VILLAGE—EVENING'''

[O'NEILL and KYNTHIA lie on a bed, wrapped around each other, kissing passionately. Suddenly, O'NEILL stops and pulls back, looking a bit confused.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What, exactly, just happened?</blockquote>

[KYNTHIA smiles up at him, just as a gentle kind of alarm begins to sound. People stream into the building. ALEKOS, THETYS and DAN-EL among them. Surprised, O'NEILL sits up, pulling a covering over his naked body. No one pays any attention to him, instead lying down to sleep. O'NEILL turns to ask KYNTHIA a question, but she is asleep.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(whispering) 
Kynthia? (urgently) 
Kynthia?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL feels her neck for a pulse, then puts his head on her chest to listen for a heartbeat. Apparently, she has one. O'NEILL grabs a blalnket from the bed to wrap around his nakedness while he looks around the room. He walks away from the bed, seeing Argosians lying in deep sleep all around the room, some on beds, some on pillows, some propped in uncomfortable positions on the floor. CARTER, TEAL'C and DANIEL walk into the building.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(confused) 
Um…what happened?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(looking at O'NEILL) 
To them or…you?</blockquote>

[TEAL'C passes her to look at the sleepers.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(avoiding her eyes) 
We'll talk about that later.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I've seen parties end abruptly, but never like this.</blockquote>

[CARTER bends over to observe THETYS and DAN-EL. She feels for a pulse in THETYS' neck.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They all just…collapsed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It happened just as the sun set.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Kynthia did the same thing. What is it? Some kind of sleeping sickness? What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No sign of fever or pain. Breathing's shallow, heartbeats slow but regular. A disease can't affect everyone all at once.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It seems to be nothing more than a deep state of sleep.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(eyeing O'NEILL) 
Now…how about you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(evasively) 
Let's just stick to the matter at hand. How does an entire village pass out? Something in the food?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL drinks from one of the goblets. TEAL'C walks to him.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We all partook of the same food.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Except for that cake.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(slowly) 
Which was only for you.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL looks at DANIEL, then down at the goblet in his hand with dismay. He throws it aside.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Damn. She drugged me.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL jumps up, passing CARTER to walk toward KYNTHIA on the bed. He only takes a few steps before staggering and falling to his knees.]

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

[Only a few paces behind, CARTER catches him, DANIEL pushes past her and grabs O'NEILL on the other side to save him from falling face-first into the floor.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh…he's still feeling the effects of the drug.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No…just a little tired.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
From now on, we stick to rations.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL passes out. CARTER and DANIEL lower him to the ground. CARTER sighs.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
No fever, shallow breathing, slow heartbeat…just like the others.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What the hell is going on here? </blockquote>

'''EXT—ARGOS—MORNING'''

[TEAL'C looks around at the village, once again bustling with activity. DANIEL is talking with several villagers, CARTER writing in a notebook as O'NEILL, looking rather bedraggled and hung over, comes out of the building. He pulls on his sunglasses on, staggering past her.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(eagerly) 
Hey, Colonel…how you feeling?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(walking) 
Hung over—but okay. (He removes his sunglasses as he walks past DANIEL.) 
Getting any answers out here?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL bends over the village fountain and plunges his head under the water. DANIEL and CARTER, behind him, share a look.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No. They all act as if what happened last night was normal. They party until sundown, then they fall asleep and they wake when the sun rises.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'd like an explanation. Daniel, get back to that temple. See what you can find out, and take Teal'c with you.</blockquote>

[DANIEL stands, looking at him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Go on.</blockquote>

[DANIEL walks away, TEAL'C following him. O'NEILL lays sideways on the edge of the well.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter. Keep asking questions out here.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL puts his sunglasses back on and falls back flat on his back, showing no intention of moving. CARTER shakes her head uncertainly, looking around at the villagers.]

'''EXT—ARGOS—DAY'''

<blockquote>Villagers chatter and walk in groups around the buildings.</blockquote>

'''INT—TEMPLE—DAY'''

[DANIEL and ALEKOS walk around the statue in the center of the temple. DANIEL is using his videorecorder to tape everything.]

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
He is the creator. Pelops, the giver of days. This was his home when he lived among us. We keep it as it was then and will do so until he returns.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And when will that be?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
Well, that is a mystery. Until it is revealed, it is the duty of the Chosen to rejoice and wait.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Why are your people called the Chosen?</blockquote>

[ALEKOS waves his arm toward a mural on the wall.]

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
My ancestors were so beloved by Pelops that he fashioned this garden for us. It is said he Chose us and brought us here from beyond the stars.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Are there any writings of your history?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
(confused) 
Writings? I do not know this word.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ahh…(looks around the temple) 
More…(turns and indicates the symbols on the base of the statue) 
…of this. Writings. Do you know what this is?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
It is of Pelops.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is Goa'uld. An obscure dialect.</blockquote>

[DANIEL stares at TEAL'C with awe and maybe a hint of impatience. He steps in closer.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Why didn't you tell me that before?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You never before inquired.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well…you call it Goa'uld. Um, I call it linear A script. We found pictographics like this in ancient Greece and ancient Cretan, but we never completely deciphered this form.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The symbols are a sequence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What, like a…combination?</blockquote>

[TEAL'C squats at the base of the statue and begins pressing the symbols in a seemingly random order.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What is a combination?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, it's a sequence of symbols or motions…</blockquote>

[DANIEL'S voice trails off as TEAL'C's actions cause one of the symbols to slide out; opening like a drawer to reveal an embedded small triangular tablet and a Goa'uld device. TEAL'C picks them up as DANIEL stares; his mouth works, but nothing coming out.]

[TEAL'C stands and passes the stone over the face of the tablet. DANIEL moves closer to observe and even ALEKOS looks curious. TEAL'C'S action causes the symbols on the tablet to change.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Can you read this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I believe I can. It seems to be some sort of record. An archaic dialect. Very difficult to decipher. </blockquote>

'''EXT—A BEACH NEAR THE VILLAGE—DAY'''

[CARTER is collecting samples. Several children are playing nearby.]

<blockquote>CHILD #1 
Come on, I want to show you something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CHILD #2 
Okay, I…I'm coming.</blockquote>

[THETYS approaches, carrying a small boy who looks about two. CARTER rises to her feet, smiling.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hi. I found this shell this morning and, uh, thought maybe Dan-El might like it.</blockquote>

[THETYS puts the child down as CARTER shakes the shell, producing a gentle sound.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
He can use it as a rattle. You want to give it to him for me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THETYS 
Oh, you can do so yourself. This is Dan-El.</blockquote>

[THETYS brushes back the little boy's hair. He looks up at her and smiles.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, no, I meant the baby.</blockquote>

<blockquote>THETYS 
This is baby Dan-El.</blockquote>

[CARTER frowns as she looks down at DAN-EL and notices the triangular birthmark on his arm.]

'''EXT—ARGOS—DAY'''

[DAN-EL, the birthmark showing prominently, is seated between CARTER and THETYS on the edge of the well. O'NEILL stands over them, still wearing his sunglasses.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay…that's not possible</blockquote>

<blockquote>THETYS 
(confused) 
Do you not have children who change and…and grow?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, yeah, sure we do. But not like that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Thetys, how old is that boy?</blockquote>

[CARTER points to a nearby youth talking with two girls.]

<blockquote>THETYS 
That is Phillippos. He is twelve.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, well, he's a little big for twelve years old, but…</blockquote>

<blockquote>THETYS 
(confused) 
Years…what are years?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh. Uh, well…uh, I-I guess it would be a little different for each planet, but a year is basically the time it takes for the globe to complete one orbit around the sun…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(rolling his eyes) 
Right…let's just keep this keep this simple, okay? Where we come from, there are 365 days in one year. THETYS 
No, no. We…we have no such counting of time on Argos. Phillippos is twelve days old.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL and CARTER look at each other in shock.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What…? How old are you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THETYS 
Twenty-one days.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(cautiously) 
And, um…Kynthia?</blockquote>

<blockquote>THETYS 
Thirty-one days.</blockquote>

[CARTER blinks. O'NEILL looks stunned.]

'''INT—TEMPLE—DAY'''

[DANIEL, TEAL'C and CARTER are sitting on the floor near the statue, talking.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I think Pelops brought humans here to be lab rats. From what we've been able to translate so far he wanted to know how humans evolve, so he shortened the life span to about 1/250th of normal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, instead of having to wait a hundred thousand years to see how human physiology evolves, he could do it in a hundred?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
That is correct. Pelops wanted to determine what the human host body would become in the future, and perhaps accelerate the process.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, how did he do it? Was it genetic alteration, or…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We do not know. It is an archaic dialect.</blockquote>

[DANIEL stares down at the papers in his lap, avoiding CARTER'S eyes. He looks upset.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Daniel…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay. I didn't want to say this 'til I was absolutely sure but…I think he may have created some kind of virus. And…viruses are often spread through bodily contact.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(quickly) 
Some are, and some are airborne.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
But I think that this one isn't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What has drawn you to this conclusion?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Because only one of us passed out last night, and that was Jack.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C raises one eyebrow thoughtfully. CARTER rests her forehead on her steepled hands before looking back at DANIEL.]

'''EXT—VILLAGE—TWILIGHT'''

[SG-1 walk into the village, returning from the temple. As usual, the village is bustling with happy activity.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You have to give them credit for one thing…they do enjoy life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Perhaps it is because they do not have much life to enjoy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Great. So now what you're telling me is this virus—which, by the way, I do NOT have—is deadly?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, if the kids age five years in five days, what happens when they reach a hundred days?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL staggers and drops to his knees. Carter drops down beside him while DANIEL and TEAL'C look on with shock.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel? Colonel?</blockquote>

[She rolls O'NEILL over onto his back, his head on her thigh as she removes his sunglasses. Around the village, everyone is dropping where they stood, lying down as the sun sets.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(groggy) 
I guess it wasn't the cake.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Maybe it was your physical contact with Kynthia.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get back to Earth, Captain. Figure this thing out. </blockquote>

'''INT—SGC LAB—NIGHT?'''

[CARTER is bent over a computer, an isolation container to the side. FRAISER walks into the lab.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Tell me you brought the blood back in sealed containers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, of course I did. What is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
(sighing) 
I'm not sure. First, I ran a routine check for antibodies…nothing. So then I thought, all right, maybe this alien bug found a way to hide from the immune system, so I ran a protein analysis.</blockquote>

[FRAISER pulls a disk out of her pocket and hands it to CARTER.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Take a look what I found.</blockquote>

[CARTER puts the disk in the computer. The screen changes to show blood samples and data.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
All right, these are the blood samples you brought back. Now, look at the strange particulate in there. (FRAISER magnifies the picture and points to a couple small triangular-shaped objects moving in the blood sample) 
So that's from one of the Argosians?</blockquote>

[CARTER nods. FRAISER presses a key on the keyboard. The blood sample changes but stays at the same magnification; in this particular sample, dozens of small triangles move around in the blood.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Now…That's from Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wow…what is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Something we don't have a word for. Yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, how come the Colonel has way more of it than the Argosians?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Maybe because he started out older than they did, sort of like a…a head start for whatever this thing is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'd better wake up General Hammond.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[CARTER leaves the lab as FRAISER starts working on the computer.]

'''INT—TEMPLE—DAY'''

[The Stargate activates. DANIEL runs down the stairs away from it, toward a doorway on the other side of the temple.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack! Carter's coming back!</blockquote>

[DANIEL runs into the entry corridor and waits as O'NEILL approaches.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack.</blockquote>

[As DANIEL motions over his shoulder, O'NEILL joins him. DANIEL observes him with concern. O'NEILL'S hairline has receded and his grayer hair seems slightly longer. He appears to be hunched over a bit, and has more wrinkles.]

[CARTER comes through the wormhole carrying a large container. She slows as she sees O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Welcome back, Captain. So, what did you find out?</blockquote>

[CARTER stares at him, her mouth open.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on now, don't keep the elderly waiting. It's rude.</blockquote>

[CARTER puts the case down, frowning at his altered appearance.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
It isn't a virus.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, what is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, Dr. Fraiser and I came up empty. She's still working on it. But it's going to take time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Time…is something these people don't have, Captain.</blockquote>

[They all look uncomfortable.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nor do I.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, there's something else. Your blood sample showed way more organisms compared to the Argosians.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How many more?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Maybe on the level of a hundred times more…and they are multiplying.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Which means?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It…it means the organism, or what ever it is, seems to be compensating for your natural age. You've already lived way longer than anyone with this—for lack of a better word, disease—ever should.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(impatient) 
Cut to it, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(reluctantly) 
At the rate you're changing, by the end of two weeks, you'll be the equivalent of one hundred years old.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So, in two weeks I'll be dead?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Not if I can help it. I'd like to set up a lab here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Negative, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We may be able to retard the aging process long enough to find a cure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I want you to pack up and head back to Earth. Now. All of you. That's an order. We're not going to bring another disease back through that Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I will remain here, with O'Neill. I cannot be affected by…whatever this is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't need company. I need a cure. And Daniel needs help translating that Goa'uld tablet thing. It might hold the answer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(angrily) 
And don't you dare say good-bye, because you damn will better be coming back…soon. Now, get out of here. All of you.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL walks away, leaving his teammates staring after him with concern and determination.]

'''INT—SGC LAB—DAY?'''

[CARTER is looking at magnified images of the blood samples on a computer. FRAISER is working with some test tubes and beakers on a table nearby. TEAL'C and DANIEL are in the observation deck above.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
My God…</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
(joining her) 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They're not multiplying. They're replicating.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(via PA system) 
What's the difference?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Living organisms multiply. Machines replicate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(on PA) 
Machines inside the body? How is that possible?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They're molecular devices that take atomic particles from their environment and use them to make more of themselves.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Well, you're talking nanotechnology!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER nods.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(on PA) 
You know anything about that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
No. 
(she sighs)</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes! When I was at the Pentagon, I worked for a year with a group that studied nanotechnology. We were looking at it for a lot of different uses; one of them was medicine. Creating artificial immune systems, repairing individual cells…even manipulating DNA to stop the aging process.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It sounds like Pelops succeeded in what you were experimenting with, only in reverse. Nice guy. </blockquote>

'''INT—TEMPLE—DAY'''

[O'NEILL sits in the temple, glaring at the statue of Pelops. There is a fire roaring in a vessel and he is sitting in what appears to be Pelops' throne. He appears to have aged several more years.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to the statue) 
What're you looking at? Think you're hot stuff, doing this to me from six billion light years away?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
(peeking out from behind the statue) 
Can you really talk to the great Pelops?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sure…why not? Just a piece of rock. Not so great, anyway.</blockquote>

[KYNTHIA looks around the temple then approaches him, looking at O'NEILL with awe and sympathy.]

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
Your people…they have gone?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah…they've gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
Then, you will leave also?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, I'll be here for a while.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
(sounding delighted) 
I am glad.</blockquote>

[KYNTHIA settles on the pillows at O'NEILL'S feet, placing one hand on his knee.]

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
I would like to learn of your customs.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Maybe some other time, huh? I've kinda got a lot on my mind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
But you ate the marriage cake…came to my bed…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(shocked) 
Marriage cake? 
(KYNTHIA nods.) 
Kynthia, you thought we were married?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
(looking slightly worried) 
By all our customs, yes.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL closes his eyes as he looks away KYNTHIA'S confusion.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sweet…(sighs) 
Kynthia, wh-what you were feeling wasn't really love. That takes time. I mean, you can't get to know someone in one day.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
Unto every woman the creator gives one hundred blissful days.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(impatiently) 
Kynthia, will you stop that? Your creator was not a god, and he certainly didn't give you life. He took it away.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
We are the Chosen. He made this place for us. To be happy…to love.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(angrily) 
To be experimented on! I mean, look at me! I'm forty years old…or I was. That's…thousands and thousands of days.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
(visibly upset) 
You do not tell the truth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
The average human life span is sixty or seventy years. Some people live to be one hundred years.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
(crying) 
It is not possible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Pelops was an alien who used your people! He shortened your lives to satisfy his curiosity!</blockquote>

[KYNTHIA looks to the statue, then back to O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
(shaking her head, whispering) 
No.</blockquote>

[KYNTHIA gets up and runs from the temple. O'NEILL watches her flee, looking regretful.]

'''INT—SGC LAB—DAY?'''

[CARTER and FRAISER are working on the isolation container. CARTER has her hands in the gloves that allow her to manipulate objects inside the container.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We've given the nanocytes some live tissue to interact with, but they aren't touching it. The only thing they appear to do is make more of themselves. So, how are they causing the aging on Argos?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Maybe there's something on Argos that they need to make them do another task, something in the air or, uh, in the food.</blockquote>

[CARTER puts down one of the instruments she was holding. As she turns her hands over in the gloves, she notices that they appear to be disintegrating.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Unh!</blockquote>

[An alarm starts to sound. CARTER pulls her hands out quickly and closes the doors, isolating the nanocytes inside the container. In the observation area, TEAL'C and DANIEL rise to their feet, looking on with concern.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(over the PA) 
Is there a problem, Captain Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I-I don't know!</blockquote>

[She hurries to wash her hands in a sink.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Why, it's eating through the rubber!</blockquote>

[Inside the isolation chamber, the gloves crumble into small pieces.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh, God!</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
They're trying to spread.</blockquote>

[CARTER and FRAISER look at each other, then up at DANIEL and TEAL'C.]

'''INT—TEMPLE—DAY'''

[O'NEILL is still on Pelop's throne. His hair is white, much longer and thinning. His face contains more wrinkles, as well as a scraggly stubble. His hands are spotted with age and trembling. In them, he has a notebook and pen. O'NEILL studies the paper, on which is written 'Dear Sara', but nothing else. Looking troubled, he closes the notebook and throws it and the pen to the floor. ALEKOS, previously unseen, speaks.]

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
Is it true that you have lived…thousands of days?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I should have kept my mouth shut. But wouldn't you rather know the truth?</blockquote>

[ALEKOS stares at him, open-mouthed, then whirls to look at the statue, pleading with it.]

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
Why do we deserve this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He can't hear you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
We are good people. We love each other and this land you have given us. Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Science. Progress. Knowledge…</blockquote>

[O'NEILL waves his hands, at a loss for a better answer.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Alekos. What would you do if you had thousands of days ahead of you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
I would walk out into the world, beyond the borders of the Chosen.</blockquote>

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

[ALEKOS sits at O'NEILL'S feet. He continues, his voice rising with excitement.]

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
To see what is there. Now one knows. Pelops has forbidden us ever to leave.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And how has he done that? He's nothing but a big piece of rock. He's a statue.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
He will strike us down. It is taught.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, he will not strike you down. Trust me on that, will you? Look; go on out there. Take a walk. See what's there. Go on…</blockquote>

[ALEKOS looks thoughtful and O'NEILL waves him on. He rises slowly to his feet.]

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
Then I could return and teach the people what I know. And in their thousands of days, they would learn more and…and teach their children.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Smiling) 
Now you're talking! </blockquote>

'''EXT—ARGOS'''

[The sun rises.]

'''EXT—ARGOS—DAY'''

[KYNTHIA walks into the temple, looking for O'NEILL. She finds him facing away from her, sitting before the Stargate, staring at it. His hair is all white now and past his shoulders.]

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
Come back to the village. It is not good to be always alone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(still turned away from her) 
Whatever time I have left, let me spend it in my own way.</blockquote>

[KYNTHIA walks up the steps to sit by O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
But you do not spend it. You waste it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't think reflecting on my life, or…trying to figure out how to get the rest of it back, is a waste.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
You are angry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes. Yes I am. Aren't you? Now that you know the truth?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
What can we do but live in the way we always have? We do not have thousands of days. But we treasure every moment.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know, Kynthia. But in my heart…I'm a military man, a warrior. That's my life. 
(He looks away, his eyes on the past) 
To which my ex-wife will attest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
You love her still?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL doesn't answer, sitting very still.]

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
(sadly) 
And now, because of me, you will never see her again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(patting her comfortingly) 
You meant no harm.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
Then let me give what I have taken. The time of one heartbeat can become eternity.</blockquote>

[As O'NEILL turns to look at her, KYNTHIA blinks back tears, then bends in and kisses O'NEILL gently.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM—DAY?'''

[HAMMOND drops a sheaf of papers onto the briefing table as he joins SG-1 and FRAISER.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm sorry, people. My decision is final.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Sir, neither of us show any evidence of the nanocyte.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We can keep working here in total isolation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
All blood and tissue samples are to be incinerated and pulverized. Work on the Argos project stops now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(restrained, but obviously furious) 
General, you are condemning Colonel O'Neill and the Argosians to death.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Captain Carter, these things appear to possess artificial intelligence. Correct?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes, sir. That's the only way they could adapt their programming to their situation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Which means they could adapt themselves right out of this facility.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(intently) 
Sir, if we destroy the samples we will have nothing to work from.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm sorry. The risk is just too great. The order is final.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND rises to leave. Automatically, CARTER and FRAISER stand.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(shouting, his voice stressed) 
Sir!</blockquote>

[HAMMOND stops. Everyone turns to stare at DANIEL.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We cannot just leave him there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Dr. Jackson, Colonel O'Neill is one of the finest men it has ever been my pleasure to serve with. It will be a great loss to this country and to all of us in this room. But I am sure he would not hesitate to make the same decision for himself that I am making now.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND walks away. TEAL'C looks angry, CARTER resigned. DANIEL stares into space, his face set.]

'''INT—TEMPLE—DAY'''

[O'NEILL is sitting in front of the Stargate, his team on the view screen of what appears to be a very small video communicator.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(on the screen) 
We're working with computer simulations and practical simulations. Realistically, sir, I'm afraid it might take years.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(on the screen) 
The General says that Gate travel to Argos is strictly off-limits for the next few, uh, millennia…But we can send objects through, so if you need anything…just call. Say something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(on the screen) 
Colonel…I've learned very much from you. Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(on the screen) 
You know, goodbyes really suck.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL'S hands tremble as he studies the faces of his team; he doesn't say anything, but hits the button that turns off the power, staring at the blank screen.]

'''EXT—TEMPLE—DAY'''

[The villagers approach the temple, bearing offerings.]

'''INT—TEMPLE—DAY'''

[The place their offerings at the base of the statue. O'NEILL, with long white hair annd age spots, hobbles over to KYNTHIA, ALEKOS, THETYS and DAN-EL, who looks about eleven.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Excuse me, what are you doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
Your people do not have enough knowledge to help us. We must ask Pelops to return.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(angrily) 
For crying out loud!</blockquote>

[O'NEILL grabs a dish out of a young man's hands and throws it to the ground, where it smashes. The villagers jump.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(shouting) 
Old Pelops doesn't give a rat's ass about things like love! His kind kidnap people like you and take them to other worlds to be used as slaves!</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
(in disbelief) 
Pelops thinks of us as his slaves?</blockquote>

[The villagers looks around at each other, uneasy and worried. O'NEILL watches as they express their confusion. ALEKOS hugs DAN-EL.]

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
Then I will no longer be one of the Chosen.</blockquote>

[The villagers gasp at his statement.]

<blockquote>THETYS 
(tearfully) 
Nor will I.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(staring at the statue) 
That's the message you ought to be sending. </blockquote>

'''INT—TEMPLE—DAY'''

[Ropes are wrapped around the statue of Pelops; at the other end, young people from the village strain and pull. The statue topples and falls, crashing into pieces on the ground. The villagers hug each other in fear, waiting to see what will happen. When nothing does, their confidence grows.]

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
He…he did not strike us.</blockquote>

[There is laughing and much relief. The villagers embrace each other. On the sidelines, KYNTHIA looks up at O'NEILL with pride. He pats her shoulder, and she puts her hand over his.]

'''EXT—ARGOS BEACH—TWILIGHT'''

[O'NEILL and KYNTHIA are walking on the water's edge as the sun goes down.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So, you like older men, do you? (he turns to KYNTHIA, as she freezes in place) 
Wh-what is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
(fearfully) 
We should go back. We have gone too far from the village. Pelops forbids it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He's gone, Kynthia. He's gone. It'll be okay. Promise.</blockquote>

[As KYNTHIA looks at him, O'NEILL takes her hand and they continue their walk.]

'''EXT—ARGOS BEACH—NIGHT'''

[O'NEILL is playing tic-tac-toe in the sand with KYNTHIA. He places an 'O', she puts in an 'X' and draws a line, winning the game.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Aw, hell. I have to teach you a game I can win.</blockquote>

[They both laugh.]

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
It is good to see you smile. Tell me, will you live the rest of your days without making love?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, God, I hope not. 
(he laughs with KYNTHIA) 
Ah, we'd probably just pass out.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL looks up at the sky, enjoying the air. There's a look of dawning realization as it occurs to him that it is dark and they are still awake.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why aren't we unconscious yet? It should have happened already, Kynthia. Why aren't we asleep? </blockquote>

'''EXT—ARGOS—DAY'''

[O'NEILL and KYNTHIA arrive at the vallage. It is daylight, but everyone is still fast asleep, lying on the ground.]

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
No one has awakened.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Except for us. Why? How important is this rule that no one can leave the village?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
It is Pelops' first law.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Then whatever it is that knocks us all out at night is right here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'll bet you and I stayed awake because we walked out of range. The cure could be as simple as just…get the hell out of Dodge. We stay out of proximity; no sleep. They all stay here; they get no wake-up call. 
(thoughtfully) 
There's got to be some other variable, some other change. </blockquote>

'''INT—TEMPLE—DAY'''

[O'NEILL and KYNTHIA walk into the temple. Pieces of the statue still litter the floor. O'NEILL notices a light flickering across the room. It's some kind of electronic device, hidden inside what used to be the base of the statue. He pulls it out and looks it over.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Excuse me. I've got a phone call to make.</blockquote>

[KYNTHIA watches him walk away, carrying the device.]

'''INT—TEMPLE—DAY'''

[TEAL'C, CARTER and DANIEL come through the wormhole, wearing hazmat suits. An aged O'NEILL greets them before they can set their equipment down.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Welcome back, kids. It's damn good to see you again. 
(They all stare at him.) 
Don't worry. Aside from a little prostate problem we won't go into, it's not so bad.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL, still carrying the device he found, motions for them to follow him.]

'''INT—TEMPLE—DAY'''

[SG-1 and KYNTHIA sit on the steps at the base of the Stargate, examining the device. The hazmat suits have vanished.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I was right. It's a transmitter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, there were two sets of glyphs that were quite tough to translate until Teal'c realized they weren't words.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They were, in fact, numbers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Two different frequencies. One to put the villagers to sleep and to activate the nanocytes, the second one to shut it all off for the day.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
When you broke the statue, you must have damaged the wake-up call.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Can you recalibrate this thing to wake these people up?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, sir, it's useless. I'm going to have to use the equipment that we brought with us. I've loaded the frequency. I'm switching it on now.</blockquote>

[CARTER flips a switch, and the equipment lights up, emitting a beeping sound.]

'''EXT—ARGOS—DAY'''

[The villagers begin waking up with yawns. They immediately notice that the sun is already high in the sky and become concerned.]

<blockquote>WOMAN 
The sun…</blockquote>

<blockquote>THETYS 
(panicked) 
Alekos, the sun is already turning.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALEKOS 
Why did we wake so late?</blockquote>

[They look around at their surroundings, worried.]

'''EXT—ARGOS—DAY'''

[KYNTHIA helps O'NEILL walk through the village. CARTER and DANIEL are at his side, TEAL'C walking a few paces behind.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Our tests indicate that your body has been cleansed of the machines that plagued you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I figure the immune system must attack them if they aren't operating.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to Kynthia) 
From now on, you and your people should age at a normal rate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
What about Jack?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Me? Oh, I'll probably move to Florida, get into a little retirement home of some kind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(grinning) 
You'd look pretty out of place there at your age.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(offended) 
Why? I look like my grandfather.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
'Look' is the operative word here. If our hypothesis is right, the nanocytes in your system were only meant to imitate aging. They weren't meant to start the process in a full-grown adult.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What are you saying to me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, without these little buggers in your system to maintain the changes, you should return to normal within a week or two.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
(overjoyed) 
That is wonderful news.</blockquote>

[KYNTHIA helps O'NEILL sit, as his knees seem to give out abruptly.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't know. I was kinda looking forward to a little shuffleboard with the fellas.</blockquote>

[CARTER and DANIEL both smile, watching O'NEILL closely. TEAL'C looks confused.]

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
(sadly) 
Then you are leaving?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL looks to his teammates, letting them know he would like a moment alone with KYNTHIA. CARTER motions to the others, indicating that they should follow her.]

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
You will not be staying with me then?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, I won't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
What will happen to us now if Pelops returns?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't think that's going to happen. But just in case, we'll send some folks by now and again to check up on you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
(hopefully) 
My heart would be glad if you were one of them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sweet Kynthia, I've learned so much from you. I'll treasure every day of my life, because of you.</blockquote>

[Smiling, O'NEILL reaches up and caresses her face. KYNTHIA smiles sadly.]

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
For thousands of days?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sure hope so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KYNTHIA 
(laughing) 
That is almost forever.</blockquote>

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

[As his team look on, O'NEILL leans in to give KYNTHIA a kiss on the cheek. KYNTHIA smiles, and O'NEILL laughs.]

'''TEASER'''

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[The Stargate innter circle turns, five chevrons already lit. At the base of the ramp, an SG team stands ready.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
Stargate in motion!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Chevron six encoded.</blockquote>

[In the CONTROL ROOM, DAVIS sits at the computer. Behind him GENERAL HAMMOND, in a dress uniform, stands with an older man in a civilian suit. Behind them are TEAL'C, DANIEL JACKSON, JACK O'NEILL and SAMANTHA CARTER. O'NEILL and CARTER are also in dress uniforms.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Better hang on to something Mr. Secretary. This is how we open the front door around here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Chevron seven…launched.</blockquote>

[The STARGATE opens with a kawoosh.]

<blockquote>SECRETARY 
(awed) 
My God, General, it's…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I thought you might be impressed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SECRETARY 
What exactly am I looking at?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(stepping to his side) 
We think you're looking at the event horizon of an artificially created wormhole, through our space time to a point…tens, even hundreds of light years away. Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SECRETARY 
Uh-huh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
SG-5, the mission is go for standard recon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SECRETARY 
And do we know where they're going?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The planet's designation is P3C-117.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND leads the SECRETARY to the star chart on the wall.]

<blockquote>SECRETARY 
Do you have any idea what's out there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, sir. That would be *why* we're going.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SECRETARY 
I'm not sure Colonel, is it? Because to be perfectly frank this administration is not satisfied with the current progress of the Stargate program.</blockquote>

[The SG-1 teammates exchange concerned glances.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Begging the secretary's pardon, sir, but we've already visited nineteen separate worlds.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I believe he is referring specifically to the volume of technology being retrieved on our planetary missions.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SECRETARY 
The President and Joint Chiefs were under the impression that the SG teams would be bringing back superior technologies.</blockquote>

[DANIEL comes forward.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm sorry, I…I thought we were explorers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SECRETARY 
Oh, you are Dr. Jackson. But even Marco Polo when he came back from the Far East brought back more than just a few…exotic spices.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Mr. Secretary, it's been my observation that whether it's here on earth or…out there; cultures with advanced technology tend not to like to share it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SECRETARY 
So. We're wasting our time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to an open-mouthed CARTER) 
Would you interpret what I just said as…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(sharply) 
Colonel!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, with respect, this program is quite probably humanity's most important endeavor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SECRETARY 
They said the something about the Apollo program. They brought back moon rocks. You may have noticed we haven't been to the moon in twenty-five years.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What kind of comparison is that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SECRETARY 
Colonel, if one of those Goa'uld ships were coming here right now, have you brought back one thing we can fight them off with?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL raises his chin stubbornly.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What technologies do you seek?</blockquote>

[Everyone turns to look, surprised, at TEAL'C.]

<blockquote>SECRETARY 
You tell me, what's out there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
There are still technologies even the Goa'uld seek. There is a creature that lives on an unpopulated world. It possesses powers of invisibility.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SECRETARY 
(interested) 
Invisibility. As in stealth?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
That is correct. It can appear or disappear at will. I was once commanded to retrieve the creature, to learn its secrets. Apophis took the lives of two of my men as punishment for failure to retrieve it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
If we manage to capture one alive, it could provide us with a serious tactical advantage the next time we came up against the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sounds like a mission to me.</blockquote>

'''INT—WORMHOLE'''

'''EXT—PLANET PC3-117—DAY'''

[The world is green, covered with mountains wrapped in a thick mist. Birds chirp in the background. A FRED unit sits at the base of the Stargate platform. O'NEILL comes through alone. Thunder rumbles in the background.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter? Daniel? Teal'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL cocks his gun. CARTER approaches him from behind.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL follows CARTER past the Gate to where TEAL'C and DANIEL wait.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What have we got?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I thought I saw something just as we came through, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c? Did we score already?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I saw movement as well. This way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>They follow TEAL'C</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(looking at his gun) 
I hope these things are as big as you say they are. There's enough tranquilizer in these darts to knock out a rhino.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They are very large, but extremely maneuverable in the air. We will find them most vulnerable when they hover.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(startled) 
Hover? Like a hummingbird?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
With teeth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, well there's nothing out here. Let's get back to the gear and…</blockquote>

[O'NEILL looks behind them and stops.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where's the Stargate? </blockquote>

[DANIEL, TEAL'C and CARTER turn around. The Stargate has vanished.]

'''TITLES'''

'''EXT—PLANET—DAY'''

[O'NEILL, DANIEL, CARTER and TEAL'C walk back to the clearing where the Stargate had been.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't like this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to Teal'c) 
Did anything like this ever happen to you before?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It has not. If we became misdirected and needed to locate the Stargate, we had a Goa'uld homing device to find it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(raising his voice) 
Do we have a homing device?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(flatly) 
Of course we do; it's with the gear.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Which is…by the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yup. Captain, let's start a box search. You and Teal'c take off in that direction. Stay in radio contact.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, you're with me.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL and DANIEL walk through a meadow. There is a strange fluttering noise coming from off to the side. DANIEL hears it and stops.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Psst. Pssst.</blockquote>

[DANIEL raised a hand towards O'NEILL as he hisses. O'NEILL turns around and walks back. They look through the trees as the noise becomes louder.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(whispering) 
There!</blockquote>

[There's a sort of warping in the air, as if a giant…something is hovering just above the tree line. The men move closer, crouching in the underbrush. O'NEILL raises the tranquilizer gun.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I just hope it becomes visible once we tranq it, otherwise we're not going to be able to find it.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL raises the gun to shoot, but before he can, the flash of a staff weapon comes from somewhere below them. The shot is aimed at the creature, which takes off.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(into radio) 
Teal'c, what the hell you doing?</blockquote>

[TEAL'C and CARTER are also crouching in underbrush.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(lowly) 
It did not come from me.</blockquote>

[Several Jaffa run into sight as O'NEILL and DANIEL watch. They edge forward for a closer look, observing as the leader, clad in gold armor, orders the Jaffa away.]

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

[The figure in gold turns. It's APOPHIS.]

'''EXT—PLANET—DAY'''

[SG-1 are in the forest, talking.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You are certain it was Apophis?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(impatiently) 
Okay, what are we going to do? We have to do something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's not our mission.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ah, just…forget our mission. 
(intense) 
Now, he's the only one who knows where Sha're and Skarra are. We may not get another chance like this.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL studies DANIEL for a moment.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Teal'c) 
What kind of entourage is he going to have with him?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Two, perhaps three Jaffa personal guard.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Are we seriously entertaining the idea of going after Apophis? 
(off O'NEILL's nod) 
Sir, we're not prepared for an attack! Half the ordinance we're carrying is tranquilizer guns.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So…we use one of them to knock him out. He will wake up in a holding cell without his guards, without his technology, he will have no choice but to tell us everything we want to know about Goa'uld technology, about were Sha're is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Can I remind you that we don't know where the Stargate is?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He will have the Goa'uld homing device I spoke of.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
There you are.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to TEAL'C) 
All right, you know what were up against better then anyone. Can we do what Daniel is talking about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We have the element of surprise. I have my staff weapon. If we eliminate his personal guard quickly, I believe so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, this character used to be a god to you. You're sure you're okay with this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am okay.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
If we're going to do this we better plan the attack very carefully.</blockquote>

'''EXT—FOREST—DAY'''

[APOPHIS and his Jaffa walk down a path through the forest. A noise sounds overhead.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Chan'te.</blockquote>

[The FIRST JAFFA goes forward, the OTHER JAFFA stop to flank APOPHIS. The FIRST JAFFA stops, bending down to study a print on the ground. The FIRST JAFFA stands, raising his staff weapon. TEAL'C jumps out and shoots with his staff. FIRST JAFFA ducks and the blast hits some rocks. As the OTHER JAFFA run to help. CARTER pops up from behind a rock, shooting. APOPHIS raises the arm containing the mechanism for his personal shield as DANIEL joins the firefight, also shooting from behind a rock. O'NEILL approaches APHOPHIS from behind, raising the tranquilizer gun. He shoots just as APOPHIS engages the shield. APOPHIS sneers.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Kree ta'k.</blockquote>

[One of the JAFFA throws his staff weapon to APOPHIS. As O'NEILL starts firing his revolver at the Goa'uld. APOPHIS catches the staff weapon, aims and fires at O'NEILL. O'NEILL is hit in the back as he dives for cover, and falls to the ground. CARTER and DANIEL turn to look.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel!</blockquote>

[CARTER jumps out from behind her rock, moving toward O'NEILL. APOPHIS sees her and shoots her in the chest. CARTER falls. DANIEL tries to make his way over to CARTER, is spotted and shot by APOPHIS in the torso. He falls down the small slope, coming to rest at the bottom, unmoving. TEAL'C jumps up, still shooting. He manages to shoot the FIRST JAFFA, and fires at APOPHIS. The personal shield absorbs the staff blasts.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Teal'c. Jaffa Shol'va!</blockquote>

[TEAL'C looks at each of his teammates, lying dead where they fell, smoke still rising from their wounds. He lowers his weapon.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Tal shakka mel. I die free.</blockquote>

[APOPHIS smirks with satisfaction as he looks at the dead members of SG-1. He aims his staff weapon to kill TEAL'C, but with a strange sound, TEAL'C is suddenly gone. APOPHIS looks around wildly; all of the bodies have vanished.]

'''INT—PLANET—SMALL HUT—DAY'''

[DANIEL is lying on a flat surface, there is a hole in his uniform in the middle of his chest, right where he was shot. His clothing around the hole is charred and bloody, but there is no wound on his exposed skin. DANIEL'S eyes open slowly, he looks around the hut before he sits up with a gasp, his hands going to the wound that no longer exists. DANIEL rises, moving around the hut and discovering CARTER. DANIEL places a hand over her face to see if she is breathing; satisfied that she is, he places his hand in the hole where she was shot, and feels around for the wound. CARTER wakes up with his hand on her chest.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hey! What are you looking at?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I felt that blast kill me. I mean…I thought I…I thought we were dead. Weren't we dead?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(pushing herself up) 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay. Well I thought heaven would be a little more upscale.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh, I don't think this is heaven.</blockquote>

[CARTER gets up and they both walk across the hut to O'NEILL, who is lying on his stomach. There is a hole in the back of his uniform, but the skin underneath is unmarked. CARTER feels his skin where the wound was while DANIEL pats his hair.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack?</blockquote>

[DANIEL places his hand on O'NEILL'S head. O'NEILL jumps up.]

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What the hell was that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's okay.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL feels his back, confusion crossing his face.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Wasn't I just…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Killed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Killed as in…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Dead.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah. We know we saw it happen. Same thing happened to us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh. This is a surprise then.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I don't know what happened to Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, my sidearm's gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So's mine.</blockquote>

[A small man, OPHER, with greenish, bushy hair, clad in baggy clothing of what looks like homespun, natural fibers walks into the hut.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ah…hello.</blockquote>

[A woman, LYA, joins the man. She is slightly taller than OPHER, but is wearing a dress made of the same type of material. Her hair is slightly lighter, more red than green, but just a bushy. Both regard O'NEILL, CARTER and DANIEL silently.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hi. I'm Daniel…uh, Jackson. This is Captain Carter and this is…uh…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Colonel Jack O'Neill, SG-1. Um…Sorry to drop in on you like this but we were…dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Do you know where our friend is? 
(She motions to her uniform) 
Another like us.</blockquote>

[LYA motions for them to follow her, then walks out of the hut. OPHER smiles and follows. O'NEILL, DANEIL and CARTER look at each other then follow.]

'''EXT—PLANET—DAY'''

[The hut they exit is small and round, set in a clearing in the middle of the forest. There are two smaller huts behind it. They all seem to be constructed of sticks and grass.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Is this your village? Aresh? Tao Tu? We need to find our friend Teal'c.</blockquote>

[OPHER and LYA walk to two others of their family, another man, ANTAEUS, and a young boy sitting on a tree trunk bench, surrounded by colorful flowers and green shrubbery. There are several baskets full of bright fruit.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah…fruit. Nothing like coming back from the dead to build up an appetite.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL, DANIEL and CARTER sit on the bench across from the small family. ANTAEUS throws Jack a small red fruit.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah…Oh, thank you…Thank you very much.</blockquote>

[ANTAEUS throws one to DANIEL then CARTER.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Did you do this?</blockquote>

[DANIEL points to where the staff wound was in his stomach. No one answers.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Did you heal us?</blockquote>

[Across from them, the small group trade seemingly confused glances, then motion to their food, indicating that SG-1 is welcome to have more fruit.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(softly, to Jack) 
I think they're a family.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Of what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I have no idea.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, we should ask them to give us back our weapons.</blockquote>

[As CARTER nods, the small boy approaches O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, hi. Um…listen. Uh, those things you found on us, those, um, things you took from us? The big things. They're very dangerous and…</blockquote>

<blockquote>The boy runs off.</blockquote>

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

[In turning to watch the boy, O'NEILL spots TEAL'C.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c! Thank God.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL rises to meet TEAL'C, who is walking toward them with the boy holding his hand.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Please tell me you know what's going on around here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I cannot tell you that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What about Apophis, you got a line on him?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Any idea how far away from the Stargate we might be?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I believe us to…</blockquote>

[Something catches TEAL'C's attention. He and O'NEILL turn to watch the boy approach CARTER. The boy points to himself.]

<blockquote>NAFRAYU 
Nafrayu.</blockquote>

[CARTER smiles and puts her hand on Nafrayu's chest.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Nafrayu?</blockquote>

[As NAFRAYU nods, CARTER points at herself.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Carter.</blockquote>

[NAFRAYU places his hand on CARTER's shoulder.]

<blockquote>NAFRAYU 
Carter.</blockquote>

[NAFRAYU gazes at CARTER adoringly. CARTER grins at him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, you can't keep him.</blockquote>

[CARTER tries to hold back her grin.]

'''EXT—FOREST—DAY'''

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Jaffa! Jot'anen! Tee'ka!</blockquote>

[Behind him, the Jaffa guard leaves promptly.]

'''EXT—NOX CAMP—DAY'''

[ANTEAUS is cooking some sort of porridge. He scoops some out with a wooden spoon into a cup made out of a leaf. He holds it out toward the team, who sit beside the fire watching him. O'NEILL taps DANIEL on the arm; DANIEL accepts the offered food.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Maybe you should ask them about the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I have; they don't understand. Actually they don't really say much at all. At the moment I'm trying to figure out if they're human or not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(looking down at NAFRAYU, sitting beside her) 
They're fairly human.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
I will take you to your doorway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL looks taken aback at the sound of his words. DANIEL'S mouth drops open.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You understand what I'm saying?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
(nodding) 
It took time to learn your speech.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Not much time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
Your weapons are gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Gone where?</blockquote>

[ANTEAUS takes a bite of his food, looking evasive.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
You know about our enemy?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
The bad guys? They'll be following us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LYA 
You attacked them.</blockquote>

[The teammates appear surprised as she joins the conversation.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You saw?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We only meant to capture him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Look, um…we're not in the assassination business.</blockquote>

[ANTEAUS and LYA look curious.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He's just…bad. He's very…</blockquote>

[O'NEILL looks to DANIEL for support.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
…bad.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
…bad. We just wanted to take him back to our world and have a little chat with him about all the nasty…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL and O'NEILL 
…bad…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
…things he's been doing. 
Looking toward TEAL'C) 
We just didn't know about this little force field deal…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I have never seen such a device, if I had…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's all right. We're alive. Thanks to you folks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
(solemnly) 
We will take you to your doorway. You will go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
As in…the Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>LYA 
Yes. You will go?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, it's not quite that simple.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
By rescuing us, you have put yourselves in great danger. Apophis will try to locate us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
Rest now, you will leave soon. Take your ways with you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, wait, wait, wait. Um…you helped us. You…saved us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
Yes.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
Our ways.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We're from a race of people that want to learn about your ways. Your medicine.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Is there anyone else we could talk to? Do you have a leader?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
They have no wish to see you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So there are others.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
(firmly) 
You will go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS walks away.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Right…We'll go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If you wish us to leave, should we not depart now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>LYA 
Your brother won't revive until later.</blockquote>

[LYA hands O'NEILL a bowl of the porridge and moves to follow ANTEAUS.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Excuse me?</blockquote>

[LYA stops and turns around.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Whose brother?</blockquote>

[LYA beckons for them to follow her. Rising to their feet, they do so.]

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

'''INT—NOX HUT—DAY'''

[Following LYA, SG-1 enter a hut very similar to the one in which they awoke. LYA moves to a corner, pulling aside a curtain. On the bed is SHAK'L, one of APOPHIS' Jaffa, asleep.]

'''EXT—NOX CAMP'''

[SG-1 follow LYA out of the hut.]

<blockquote>LYA 
He resisted our attempts to help him heal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He may yet survive. The Goa'uld he carries is healing him even now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
That is good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How is that good? I mean, he's in the service of the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
(nods toward TEAL'C) 
He is like him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He's with us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LYA 
Perhaps you can convince the injured one to join you as well?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The Goa'ulds are a…parasitic race. They take life and use it for their own purposes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And their ways are not like your ways, believe me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
They do not know the Nox.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's you? The Nox?</blockquote>

[ANTEAUS nods.]

<blockquote>LYA 
The ones you speak of come to hunt the Fenri.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's probably that disappearing, invisible, flying thing we were after.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
Yes. Fenri.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, look. Um…do you have any…elders…I could speak with? I don't think you're understanding what I'm…</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
OPHER is one of the oldest of the Nox.</blockquote>

[The older man they met first smiles at them. ANTEAUS crosses over to him and pulls OPHER to his feet.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(to O'NEILL) 
If Shack'l does not die, they will be in even greater danger than they are now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
(sternly) 
There will be no more death.</blockquote>

[LYA rushes over to touch him, comforting.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I have no intention of killing him. However, if Shak'l dose survive his injuries he will tell the Goa'uld where to find you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Look, obviously your medicine is very…Well it's very effective. But how do you defend yourselves?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
We don't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
But at least let us help you in exchange for what you did for us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
You must go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Right. Well for now, we'll just go over here. 
(He points) 
Excuse us.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL walks to the opposite side of the clearing, his team follows.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to TEAL'C) 
All right, do you know this…Shackle?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He served in my command when I was first prime of Apophis.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL winces, closing his eyes.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, we can't just walk away. I mean, if we hadn't attacked Apophis, he wouldn't even be here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And we can't kill him either.</blockquote>

[CARTER whips around to look at him with astonishment, as do TEAL'C and O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(defensively) 
I wasn't…considering it. I was just…stating a fact.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay, we'll take Shak'l back. It's not quite as good as having Apophis, but he can't stay here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Apophis will not allow us to leave this world alive. You have challenged him, and I have betrayed him. Even if we were to locate the Stargate, leaving this world will be difficult.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So we're back to square one. We can't leave Shak'l here and we'll never get him back to the Gate without running in to Apophis.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay, we'll try and find out as much as we can about the Nox; it's part of why we came here right?</blockquote>

[CARTER and DANIEL nod. O'NEILL turns to TEAL'C.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
In the meantime, I think you better check on your friend. Whatever we end up doing, I don't think he is going to wake up in a very good mood. Know what I mean?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL pats TEAL'C on the back. TEAL'C walks off.]

'''EXT—PLANET—FOREST CLEARING—DAY'''

[A JAFFA runs, staff weapon in hand, toward APOPHIS and a SECOND JAFFA.]

<blockquote>JAFFA 
Apophis. Kree. Shal'tak.</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Teal'c was standing before me, waiting to pay the price of his betrayal, I had him in my hand!</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAFFA 
We have searched.</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Where are the other? Where is Shak'l? I saw them die, they could not just disappear. Unless they have learned the power of the beast.</blockquote>

'''INT—NOX HUT—DAY'''

[Inside the hut where Shak'l sleeps, TEAL'C is standing guard. SHAK'L'S wrists are tied together. LYA enters and reaches out toward the binding, looking dismayed.]

<blockquote>LYA 
Must he be bound so tightly?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If not, he will escape when he awakens.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LYA 
He deceives you, he's awake now.</blockquote>

[LYA leaves. TEAL'C watches her go, then turns to SHAK'L.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Were you waiting for me to turn my back, Shak'l?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHAK'L 
As you taught me. Have you come to kill me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I offer you the chance to join me. The Goa'uld are not gods.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHAK'L 
Lies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
These people are that of the first world. The Tau'ri.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHAK'L 
You waste your breath. I shall rest, strengthened by the thought of the reward I shall get when I present your head to Apophis.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The time of Apophis will soon end. And on that day, I will return to our world, and offer freedom to all Jaffa. It is a shame you will not live to see it. For when you fail to kill me, it will be your head.</blockquote>

'''EXT—NOX CAMP—DAY'''

[DANIEL is sharpening the end of a stick into a point.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I really don't get the point of this.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL walks up with a hand made bow.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, if we run into Apophis again, we'll be prepared.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
But what good are bows and arrows going to be against that kind of fire power?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Exactly how I want him to think.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah..?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Any weapon is better then no weapon when it comes to survival.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You guys just don't want to give up, do you?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's what happens when you spend half your life in Special Forces.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Somehow I don't thing we'd make very good Nox.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I think you're right.</blockquote>

[NAFRAYU approaches.]

<blockquote>NAFRAYU 
Is that a weapon?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes. And you can't have it.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL gets up abruptly and walks away. NAFRAYU gazes after him, then runs to follow.]

'''EXT—CLEARING IN FOREST—DAY'''

[O'NEILL tests out his bow and arrow. He draws back the bow, aiming for a stump. The arrow hits. NAFRAYU runs after it and pulls it out. He hands it to O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>NAFRAYU 
If you blunted this stick, this would be good for knocking fruit from the highest branches.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(taking back the arrow) 
Yeah, I bet it would.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NAFRAYU 
Why do you want to fight them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't *want* to.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NAFRAYU 
Then don't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(hesitating) 
It's not that simple. Look, I believe in peace, just like you. I do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NAFRAYU 
Then why do you fight?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Because our enemy gives us no option. Sometimes turning the other cheek just doesn't work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NAFRAYU 
I'll learn to understand them better.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No! I wouldn't do that if I were you.</blockquote>

[A Fenri suddenly appears above them, completely visible and looking like it's going to attack.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Go on, run. Run!</blockquote>

[NAFRAYU runs off, O'NEILL tries to shoot the Fenri with his bow and arrow. The Fenri darts away though, and the arrow falls to the ground.]

'''EXT—NOX CAMP—DAY'''

[OPHER rubs his fingers down a tree trunk, gathering sap. He licks his fingers then offers some to DANIEL.]

<blockquote>OPHER 
Mmm. You?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, no. Thank you. I'm…I'm trying to quit. Is that where you get your medicine? From the forest?</blockquote>

<blockquote>OPHER 
We get life from the forest. From everything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
But you must have medicine. Or you must have some knowledge that we don't have,</blockquote>

[OPHER walks away, looking focused on something else. DANIEL follows.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I guess what I'm saying is, we could learn a lot from you, I really wish that we could be friends with the Nox. Friends share knowledge with each other.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OPHER 
Yes, you have much to learn.</blockquote>

[OPHER motions for DANIEL to follow, which he does.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, why…why don't you teach me now? For example, you seem to have an almost psychic ability. Are you born with it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>OPHER 
Knowledge takes time. Over the years we teach the young to be wise.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Um…</blockquote>

<blockquote>OPHER 
How old am I? How do you mark time?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Umm…years, days? Ah, a day is one revolution of our planet; a year is one revolution around our sun. There are 365 days in one year so…</blockquote>

<blockquote>OPHER 
(thoughtfullly) 
Then, I am four hundred and thirty-two years old.</blockquote>

[OPHER turns to DANIEL, who is staring at him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, ah…You look great.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OPHER 
Thank you.</blockquote>

[OPHER walks off.]

'''EXT—FOREST CLEARING—DAY'''

[O'NEILL standing by himself, bow in hand. He appears to still be looking for the Fenri. ANTEAUS materializes out of thin air. O'NEILL looks at him in astonishment.]

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
You will not teach Nafrayu your ways.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How'd you do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
It is not the Fenri that have the ability to hide. It is the Nox.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So you hid the Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
The Fenri was nearby when you came through, attracted by your arrival. We conceal them until the hunters are gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're not hunters.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
You tried to kill the Fenri just a moment ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I was trying to protect the boy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
You protect his body after poisoning his mind?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Will you listen to me? The reason the Goa'uld hunt those flying things is because they want to know how it's able to disappear. If they find out it's you…</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
Our ways have served us for as long as our people have lived.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
But they didn't know you existed before. Once they know, they'll enslave you. It's what they do!</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
(calmly) 
We are slaves to no-one.</blockquote>

'''EXT—FOREST—DAY'''

[DANIEL is still following OPHER as he continues on his way through the forest.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How long have the Goa'uld been coming here to hunt?</blockquote>

<blockquote>OPHER 
Oh, as long as I can remember.

DANIEL 
Why did you not bury the Stargate? Do you know that that would stop them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>OPHER 
(nods) 
And they would know someone had buried it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Right. Of course.</blockquote>

'''EXT—NOX CAMP—DAY'''

[O'NEILL approaches DANIEL and TEAL'C, who are standing together by one of the huts. CARTER is sitting at one of the Nox tables.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
OPHER is 432 years old.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Guess what? They're not human.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No. Ah…humanoid, but definitely more advanced than anything that has evolved on Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That creature that we came here for? It has no power at all. None. Zip.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well then, how does it become invisible?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL looks over his shoulder at the Nox.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They do it. The Nox hide it from us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They make it invisible to protect it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, this makes things even worse.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
If Apophis finds out that it's them that has this power…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He will try to possess it. If he finds he cannot, he will bombard this planet's surface from high above. What he cannot possess, he destroys.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So, we have to get Shak'l out of here.</blockquote>

[ANTEAUS, appears beside them. O'NEILL jumps, DANIEL starts back, CARTER sits up straighter. TEAL'C appears unsurprised.]

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
We will not allow you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Will you stop doing that!</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
You cannot be trusted with your enemy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Look, if we don't take him away from here, he'll tell the Goa'uld—the bad guys—all about you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
We are not afraid.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, get afraid!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(warning) 
Colonel.</blockquote>

[DANIEL holds a hand out toward O'NEILL, who looks disapproving. DANIEL stands up beside ANTEAUS.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Look, this is our fault that this has happened. We know that and we want to correct that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Shak'l won't be hurt, you have our word.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We will just…take him away with us, back to our planet. Only then will you be safe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
Only if that is his wish.</blockquote>

'''EXT—FOREST—DAY'''

[APOPHIS strides down the path, preceeded by a JAFFA. They meet with another.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Jaffa! Ma'kree?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAFFA 
(bowing) 
I cannot find the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS clenches a hand in frustration.</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
(menacing) 
Then find me Teal'c.</blockquote>

'''INT—NOX HUT—DAY'''

[TEAL'C hovers over SHAK'L's bed.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Jaffa, I offer you this last chance to join me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHAK'L 
Before you kill me? You are too much of a coward or you would've done it already.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I have no wish to kill you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHAK'L 
You may wish you had.</blockquote>

[SHAK'L starts to scream, his voice hoarse. LYA rushes into the hut.]

<blockquote>LYA 
What have you done to him?</blockquote>

[SHAK'L suddenly breaks lose of his bonds. Looking alarmed, TEAL'C pushes LYA out of his path. SHAK'L then pulls out a knife hidden in his armor and stabs TEAL'C. He turns to stare at LYA, who backs away from him.]

'''EXT—FOREST CLEARING—DAY'''

[ANTEAUS is sprinkling something on the ground. In the background, CARTER, DANIEL and O'NEILL are near the trees.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(shouting, in the distance) 
O'Neill!</blockquote>

'''INT—NOX HUT—DAY'''

[SHAK'L knocks down the door and leaves the hut.]

'''EXT—FOREST CLEARING, NEAR NOX HUT—DAY'''

[Everyone drops what they are doing and rush across the clearing to the hut.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(shouting) 
Teal'c!</blockquote>

[TEAL'C exits the hut, looking ill.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The Nox woman.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL goes toward the hut, DANIEL catches TEAL'C as he looses his footing. Inside, LYA lies, motionless, against the wall. Outside, SHAK'L runs for the forest.]

'''EXT—NOX CAMP—DAY'''

[CARTER and TEAL'C are sitting on a log, CARTER is cleaning TEAL'C's wound. O'NEILL and DANIEL are standing nearby, watching the hut.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Where'd the Nox go with Lya?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Who knows where they ever go?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I trained him well.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to CARTER) 
Is he going to be all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, if it were you or me…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
My wound will heal. We must find Shak'l.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We will.</blockquote>

[There is a strange noise, and a shimmer in the air. O'NEILL and DANIEL turn to see LYA laying on a table, with the rest of the Nox standing over her. Their hands are crossed, their eyes closed. They fade in and out of view. Across from them, in another part of the forest, SHAK'L also watches the healing take place. When the view of them becomes stable, LYA slowly blinks and opens her eyes. She sits up, looking tired, and smiles when comforting hands touch her shoulders. SHAK'L also smiles, and continues on his journey.]

[OPHER and NAFRAYU lead LYA into one of the Nox huts as ANTEAUS approaches O'NEILL and DANIEL.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You…brought us back the same way?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
Yes.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C and CARTER join them.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You become visible during the ceremony.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
When we are performing the ritual of life we are unable to shield ourselves.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
A weakness.</blockquote>

[ANTEAUS nods in affirmation.]

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
We are hidden again.</blockquote>

'''EXT—FOREST PATH—DAY'''

[TEAL'C squats on the ground, studying a footprint.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Shak'l has been this way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How long ago was he here?</blockquote>

[TEAL'C doesn't answer, looking around.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He is very skilled at evading capture.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Did you teach him that too?</blockquote>

'''EXT—ANOTHER PART OF THE FOREST—DAY'''

[SHAK'L runs thought the forest.]

'''EXT—NOX CAMP—DAY'''

<blockquote> 
NAFRAYU 
I am curious to see a Goa'uld. I have never seen one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No. You should go some place where it's safe. Go where the other Nox are.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NAFRAYU 
They are far away.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nafrayu, please, go on. Scoot. Kids.</blockquote>

[There is a sound. O'NEILL turns, only to see that NAFRAYU has vanished.]

'''EXT—FOREST—DAY'''

[APOPHIS journeys down a path with his two remaining Jaffa. They pause when they hear SHAK'L calling.]

<blockquote>SHAK'L 
Keest'ra! Keest'ra!</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Go!</blockquote>

[He indicates that one of the Jaffa should find SHAK'L.]

<blockquote>SHAK'L 
Keest'ra! Keest'ra!</blockquote>

[In the forest above, TEAL'C and O'NEILL pause, also hearing the shouts. They spot SHAK'L below them, just as the Jaffa approaches.]

<blockquote>SHAK'L 
Keest'ra!</blockquote>

[There are indecipherable words as the two Jaffa converse. TEAL'C, however, can understand them.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He is telling about the Nox…about their powers. Apophis will be pleased.</blockquote>

'''EXT—NOX CAMP—DAY'''

<blockquote> 
ANTEAUS 
Nothing has changed for us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, everything has changed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
We will take you to the doorway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Look, Antaeus, we can came back through that Gate. We can bring reinforcements.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OPHER 
Antaeus, where is Nafrayu?</blockquote>

'''EXT—FOREST PATH—DAY'''

[APOPHIS and one Jaffa are walking. They stop when NAFRAYU moves out into the path in front of them.]

<blockquote>NAFRAYU 
Nafrayu.</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Nafrayu?</blockquote>

[NAFRAYU looks at him with childlike curiosity. APOPHIS smiles and holds up his hand, the ribbon device glowing.]

'''EXT—FOREST—DAY'''

[O'NEILL, DANIEL, follow ANTAEUS as they help search for NAFRAYU.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I told him to go home.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
I told you the same. The very young do not always do what they are told.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL and DANIEL stare at him, then look at each other.]

'''EXT—FOREST—DAY'''

[CARTER and TEAL'C follow LYA, also looking for NAFRAYU. LYA begins to run. NAFRAYU is in a crumpled heap on the ground, half on a log. As LYA bends over the motionless body, ANTEAUS, O'NEILL and DANIEL approach. O'NEILL immediately starts looking around the clearing. CARTER already has her weapon up and ready.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Feel like a trap to you, Captain?</blockquote>

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

[ANTEAUS picks up NAFRAYU, LYA touching his leg. He stops only to glare at O'NEILL. SG-1 follows the Nox as ANTEAUS carries NAFRAYU through the forest to the Nox Camp. OPHER takes NAFRAYU and lay him on the bed on which LYA was brought back to life.]

<blockquote>LYA 
We must begin the ritual.</blockquote>

[ANTEAUS stops SG-1 from approaching.]

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack, they can bring him back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Shak'l has told Apophis of your ritual…that you cannot remain hidden when you perform it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
(soberly) 
But we must.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
The minute you start that ritual, they'll attack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Give us our weapons, we can defend you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
There will be no killing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, fine. We'll find our own way back to the Stargate; we're certainly not going to sit around here and watch a slaughter.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL stares at the Nox for a moment, then turns to leave.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Let's go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's an order.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Please, we were just…We were trying to help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
Goodbye, Daniel.</blockquote>

[Looking discouraged, DANIEL follows the rest of his team, catching up as they leave the vicinity of the Nox camp.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Think they bought it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Almost believed it myself.</blockquote>

'''EXT—NOX CAMP—DAY'''

<blockquote>LYA 
We could take Nafrayu to the others.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
It would take too long.</blockquote>

[ANTEAUS and LYA join OPHER, and they begin the ritual.]

'''EXT—FOREST—DAY'''

[O'NEILL wraps string around a small object, binding it to what looks like a blowdart.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Where did that come from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, the wee folks missed one. So Shak'l thinks we're unarmed, Apophis thinks he's invulnerable.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And…they're right? I think I found a flaw in your plan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Their weapons aren't as affective in close, we'll be better off with hand-to-hand.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What of Apophis? He is protected by an energy field. We both fired our weapons directly at it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Did you see what happened when one of his guards tossed him a staff weapon?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Passed right through. So you're guessing that the shield's deflection capability is directly proportional to the amount of kinetic energy being directed at it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(too quickly) 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So you're saying that an arrow or a dart being much slower in velocity than, say, a bullet…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Just might make it through. It's a big gamble, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah. You ready?</blockquote>

'''EXT—NOX CAMP—DAY'''

[The flames climb higher as the Nox work their magic on NAFRAYU.] </blockquote>

'''EXT—FOREST—DAY'''

[O'NEILL is on the ground, covered with leaves and branches. DANIEL is places more forest debris over him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They're coming.</blockquote>

[DANIEL signals to TEAL'C, who is hiding behind a tree. He lifts a large log in preparation. APOPHIS and the JAFFA walk toward them. DANIEL peeks out from behind a tree, judging their approach. APOPHIS sends two JAFFA ahead. As the first one approaches, TEAL'C steps out and slams the log on to the FIRST JAFFA's head, knocking him down. From a camouflaged spot, CARTER kicks the SECOND JAFFA in the crotch, felling him. TEAL'C hits his victim, knocking him out. Grabbing the staff weapon, he throws it to DANIEL, who aims and fires. He hits the THIRD JAFFA. APOPHIS engages his personal shield.]

'''EXT—NOX CAMP—DAY'''

[The Nox stop their ritual at the sound of weapons fire. LYA and OPHER stop, then both look to ANTEAUS. ANTEAUS, refusing to look toward the sound, takes LYA and OPHER's hands and contines with the ritual.]

'''EXT—FOREST—DAY'''

[CARTER is flipped over a Jaffa's back in the fight, and ends up with a staff weapon pointed right at her face. Before the Jaffa can fire, DANIEL shoots him in the chest. APOPHIS, seeing that his Jaffa are all down, backs into the woods, his personal shield still on. As he turns to flee, O'NEILL comes up behind him, the arrow with it's special surprise nocked and ready to fire.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Fool. I will kill you.</blockquote>

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

[O'NEILL shoots at APOPHIS. There is a strange sound, and APOPHIS vanishes just before the arrow hits him.]

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

[O'NEILL looks around the forest, shouting to the invisible Nox.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They'll be back! They won't spare you!</blockquote>

'''EXT—STARGATE CLEARING—DAY'''

[O'NEILL, TEAL'C, DANIEL and CARTER climb over the ridge. The Stargate is still missing.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This is where the Stargate should be.</blockquote>

[ANTEAUS appears in front of them.]

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
We sent your enemy through the doorway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They'll be back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
When you are gone we will bury it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They'll come in ships next time; they'll bring an army.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
Perhaps.</blockquote>

[NAFRAYU appears next to ANTEAUS, alive and well.]

<blockquote>ANTAEUS 
He wanted to wish you farewell.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm glad you're okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NAFRAYU 
And you. We sent your weapons back through the doorway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, speaking of the Stargate…</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
You fear for us, yes?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is our way that the strong defend the weak.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're afraid for you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
Before you go, O'Neill, there is something we would have you see.</blockquote>

[ANTEAUS waves his hand. Behind them, up in the sky, a floating city appears.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
My God.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
Fear not.</blockquote>

[Several Fenri circle the city, and the Stargate appears. There is a kawoosh, despite the lack of anyone pushing the DHD. They turn to see the Stargate, the wormhole already engaged.]

<blockquote>ANTEAUS 
Maybe one day you will learn, that your way is not the only way.</blockquote>

[ANTEAUS and NAFRAYU vanish. O'NEILL looks from the spot they were standing back to the floating city.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why didn't he tell us about this before?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I think, in their way, they did.</blockquote>

[The city vanishes.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It appears they possess a form of technology far greater than that of the Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They looked so helpless…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And now they're going to bury the Stargate and we can never come back. We should've listened.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
'The very young do not always do as they're told.'</blockquote>

[DANIEL, TEAL'C and CARTER stare at O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Just a little something the Nox told me one time. Something worth taking home.</blockquote>

[They head into the wormhole, going home.]

'''TEASER'''

'''EXT—DARK WOODS'''

[Mist is rising from the ground. Two soldiers in partial SGC uniforms run through the woods, chased by several native men leaping through the trees. The men are clad in breechclouts with painted faces and bodies. Some are wearing headdresses made from long grass; others have clay helmets that cover their entire head. The men with headdresses have blowguns.]

<blockquote>CONNOR 
Come on, Frakes, let's go!</blockquote>

[As they run, a GDO falls to the forest floor.]

<blockquote>FRAKES 
Connor! Connor, I've lost the remote!</blockquote>

[Frakes runs back and drops to his knees, trying to find the GDO. The men in the trees close in. Connor joins him.]

<blockquote>CONNOR 
(picks up something) 
Got it!</blockquote>

[One of the natives puts his blowpipe to his lips. A dart shoots out and hits Frakes in the shoulder. Frakes falls. Connor runs on, not noticing. Connor reaches the DHD and starts pressing the glyphs for Earth. Frakes stumbles down the path behind him, the arrow still stuck in his shoulder. The natives close in. Frakes pauses, his eyes rolling back. He falls face-first onto the ground. Connor punches in the last symbol and hits the red center of the DHD. The wormhole opens. Connor punches in the code on the GDO. He looks behind him, obviously just noticing that his companion is not with him.]

<blockquote>CONNOR 
Frakes! 
(Runs back down the path) 
Frakes!</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAKES 
Go. 
(Looking desperate) 
Go!</blockquote>

[Connor looks around at the forest. Frakes falls back to the ground. Looking unhappy, Connor whirls around to run back to the Stargate. Behind him, Frakes pushes himself up, then crumples sideways. He looks up to see himself surrounded by the natives in clay helmets, the men in headdresses right behind them. Another man, this one wearing some kind of robes over an SGC uniform pushes through the crowd, a rifle in hand. Grabbing Frakes' hair, he pulls him into a seated position. Another man, covered from head to foot in a robe, comes out of the crowd to stand before them. Although we can't see his clothing beneath, dogtags catch the light.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
(Reprovingly) 
Frakes, Frakes, Frakes. I'm disappointed in you, my son.</blockquote>

[Hanson pulls out a pistol and cocks it. He aims the gun at Frakes. The natives mutter uneasily. Hanson fires.]

[At the Stargate, Connor turns to look back.]

[Hanson motions to the natives, who run toward the Stargate. As Baker and Hanson look down the path, the wormhole blinks out of existence.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
So. Connor got through.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BAKER 
What about this one?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
(looking back) 
Burn him.</blockquote>

[One of the natives douses Frakes in a liquid. Baker lowers a torch and ignites the liquid. Flames rise as Frakes' body catches fire.]

'''END TEASER'''

'''ROLL CREDITS'''

'''EXT—PLANET'''

[Teal'c exits wormhole, followed by O'Neill. As the wormhole closes, Daniel and Carter are standing by the DHD. They all look at the surrounding foliage.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
For a planet with a UV radiation as high as this one's supposed to have, the plant life seems to be doing very well.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Apparently, Abydos was the exception, not the rule, as far as trees are concerned.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, that makes sense. I mean, in order for a planet to support human life, there must be some form of carbon-based vegetation, right?</blockquote>

[Carter nods.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is no accident. Many Stargate worlds were terra-formed by the Goa'uld centuries ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay, lets take a quick look around the Gate before we move out and find SG-9.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They can't be that far.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I don't know, this Stargate is literally out in the middle of nowhere. I doubt it plays an active role in anybody's culture.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks away, Daniel following. Carter looks uneasily up at the trees.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Is there a problem, Dr. Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No birds.</blockquote>

[She looks around again, then moves away, following O'Neill and Daniel. Teal'c looks up, his gaze sober.]

'''EXT—PLANET'''

[The sun is shining brightly. Daniel walks alone through the woods.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
There should be a road up here or something, or…Jack? Guys?</blockquote>

[Under his feet, the leaf covering shifts. Connor jumps up from his hiding place and wraps an arm around Daniel's neck.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Aaah!</blockquote>

[Connor grabs Daniel's gun and aims it at his neck as Daniel tries to pull his arm away.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay, okay. Don't shoot.</blockquote>

[O'Neill races up out of nowhere, his own gun out. He aims it at Connor's temple.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Grating) 
Very sound advice.</blockquote>

[Connor pulls the pistol away from Daniel. O'Neill grabs it with his free hand, the pistol on Connor never wavering.]

<blockquote>CONNOR 
(Not losing his grip on Daniel, but looking surprised.) 
Colonel O'Neill!</blockquote>

[He looks relieved.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Lieutenant Connor?</blockquote>

[Connor sags. O'Neill and Daniel catch him as he falls.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, all right.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Daniel each grab an arm and help Connor walk away.]

'''EXT—PLANET'''

[The team rests on the Stargate platform, clustered around Connor.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, Connor, what's going on? Command received your signal six hours ago, and no one came through. Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
Hanson.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Where is he? We need to…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
(Interrupting) 
No! Don't.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CONNOR 
(His eyes widening) 
Frakes. He…</blockquote>

[Connor jumps up, runs down the path. SG-1 follows him. Connor stops, bending down beside a pile of ashes and bits of bone on the ground.]

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

[As SG-1 comes to a halt in front of him, Connor picks out dogtags, which are all that's apparently left of Frakes.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Connor. I need to know what happened.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
Permission to speak freely about a superior officer, sir.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CONNOR 
He's lost it. He's out of control.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Captain Hanson?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
Maybe it was the sun. The, uh, radiation…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What are…Are you saying that the sun did this to Frakes?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
No, sir. Captain Hanson did that to Frakes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
For trying to get back through the Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't buy that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
Sir. We were trying to warn Command about what's really going on. The people here…they believe he's their god.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Because you came through the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
No, no. You don't get it. Hanson believes it too.</blockquote>

[SG-1 is silent for a moment.]

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

[Carter follows O'Neill away from Connor.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Pulls off his sunglasses and rubs his eyes.) 
I want you to take Connor back through the Stargate. Report to General Hammond what's happened here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Looking obstinate) 
No sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Incredulous) 
No sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
If you're going after Captain Hanson, I should go with you. I can get to him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(testy) 
Look, Captain. Either we're bringing him back to face a court martial, or not. I think we both know what the 'not' means.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I know him, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, that would be the problem, wouldn't it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I gave back the ring because I know him. I know how he thinks, how he operates.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How he likes to play God?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't understand how that could happen any more than you do. But if SG-1 is going after him, then I am going with you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
(Interrupting) 
Wait a minute. No. You…you…you can't do that. There're hundreds, probably thousands of them. He's…he's their god. They'll die for him; they'll kill for him in a heartbeat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's not your problem. Now, I need someone to report back to the General, and that is you. </blockquote>

[He looks at Connor.]

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(looking incredulous again) 
No, sir? 
(turning to look at Carter) 
Does it say Colonel anywhere on my uniform?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
I know the planet and the situation. I think it's suicide. But if you're going, I'm going, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
But you are not physically able.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
Frakes was my friend.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This isn't about revenge.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
Maybe not for you.</blockquote>

[Carter stares at Connor, who looks away and brushes past her. ]

<blockquote>CONNOR 
We've got to move now. Today.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(sighs) 
Well. We're off to see the wizard.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
Hope you brought lots of sunblock.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh. We're mostly under cover.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The probe's data indicated that shade, even heavy cloud cover won't protect us. It can be pouring rain and we'll still burn.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
She's right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Then why on Earth are we travelling during the day?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
We're not on Earth. People here live in caves. I think they used to be mines. They only come out at night. They're probably still after me, sir.</blockquote>

[O'Neill registers that, but pulls on his sunglasses anyway.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
To Oz.</blockquote>

[The team follows Connor, looking around them at the woods first.]

'''EXT—PLANET—HANSON'S CAMP'''

[Baker looks up at the sun, then enters a cave lit by several fires burning.]

<blockquote>BAKER 
You were right. They sent SG-1.</blockquote>

[Hanson, his face marked with angry red burns, lifts his dogtags away from his neck and stares at them, then pulls, snapping the chain. He throws them away.]

'''EXT—SG-1 CAMP'''

[Daniel and Carter are sitting side by side in front of a fire. Daniel is eating, Carter is examining something.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This tastes like chicken.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So what's wrong with that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This is macaroni and cheese.</blockquote>

[Behind the tents, Teal'c and O'Neill are standing guard in the woods.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The perimeter is established.</blockquote>

[Teal'c picks up and throws a rock. A beeping noise ensues, and a light high in a tree comes on. Teal'c reaches down and turns off both.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Perfect. If any little rocks sneak up on us, we'll have plenty of warning.</blockquote>

[Connor approaches the fire. Carter looks up.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, uh, any indigenous lions, tigers or bears I should lie awake worrying about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
The plant life's all that seems to live very long in the sun.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You know, how could something like this actually happen? I mean…the SG teams are supposedly made up of well-trained professionals.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
Well, when we first met the cave dwellers, they immediately bowed down to us. Thought we were gods.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, that's a fairly common phenomenon. I mean…uh…it happens.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
Except Hanson didn't deny it. Told us it might be safer if we allowed them to think he was a god for awhile. Said it was the…system of government they needed to retake their world.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And…you were okay with that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
Frakes was our anthropologist. He agreed with Hanson that it might be safer. But the longer we stayed here, the stronger they believed. In our fourth or fifth week here, a young child wandered out of the caves. 
(shakes his head) 
Must have gotten lost. Hanson went out after him. He was gone for two full days before he came back, carrying the child, barely alive, in his arms.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The cave dwellers must have loved him for that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
Yeah, they did. He wasn't sane after that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You're saying that that's what sent him over the edge? The sun?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
(sighs) 
It wasn't any one thing. If it was, me and Frakes, we could have seen it coming. Done something about it, before…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Before what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
There were a few cave dwellers who…got the idea that Hanson was just a man like they were. Thanks to…Frakes and I. He had them tied to stakes and left out in direct sunlight. They were there seven days before they were allowed back in the caves.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
A number of significant biblical events took place over the course of seven days.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
(Staring into the fire) 
y then they were blind. Giant bleeding burns all over them. Just took them a little longer to die. Personally; I'd rather eat a bullet.</blockquote>

[Everyone stares at him, stricken. O'Neill looks around at his team.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'll take first watch.</blockquote>

[They sit in silence.]

'''EXT—HANSON'S CAMP'''

[It's night. Hanson exits the cave. He walks to a cliff, looking down to see the cave dwellers working by torchlight, digging on ladders on the sides of the cliff. Some are moving wagons around on the flat portion of the ground.]

'''EXT—PLANET, SG-1 CAMP'''

[O'Neill is on guard. Connor is sleeping on a pallet on the ground. He awakens, quietly rising to his feet. He walks past a sleeping Carter and Daniel, past Teal'c, who is meditating, and over to O'Neill.]

<blockquote>CONNOR 
Hey Colonel. I'll take watch now.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks around into the woods, not looking at Connor . Both spot movement in the trees. Connor crouches, and follows O'Neill back into the camp. In the woods, the cave dwellers are moving closer. O'Neill touches Teal'c, shaking him from his kel-no-reem. He then leans down to shake Daniel's shoulder.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Let's go. We've got company.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You sure?</blockquote>

[An arrow hits the tree trunk beside Daniel's head. Both men look at it.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Pretty sure.</blockquote>

[The cave dwellers move through the trees, setting off the alarm and the lights. O'Neill fires his gun towards the invaders. Connor does as well. The Cave dwellers shoot their darts. Teal'c waits, finally shooting his staff weapon at a tree. It catches fire. The alarms stop.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It appears they are gone.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Connor? Connor?</blockquote>

[They look. Connor is gone.]

'''EXT—HANSON'S OPERATION'''

[Daylight. The torches have been extinguished; there are no people in sight.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
The temple is taking too long to build.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BAKER 
They're working as hard as they can.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
But not as long as they can. Divide them into shifts; day and night.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BAKER 
You can't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BAKER 
They'll die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
Sacrifice. 
(shrugs) 
Their way to salvation.</blockquote>

'''EXT—WOODS'''

[Daniel and Carter are walking. O'Neill is behind them, intent on keeping guard on the woods around them.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, they were probably just instructed just to…take Connor; send us a message that Hanson is in control.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sounds familiar.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Which part?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
He likes control.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, what did you see in him?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(grimaces) 
I dunno. I guess I've always had a soft spot for the lunatic fringe. He was…He was charming.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, that's good. Charming is good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't know, I should be more surprised by this than I am, but I'm not. You know, he had this in him Daniel. Too many years of black ops.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, that's typical of our government's evaluation of soldiers. The crazier they are, the more extreme the situation they seem to be put into.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I can't really…He wasn't happy when I broke off the engagement, but he seemed like he'd really pulled himself together when we met up at Stargate Command.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Apparently not.</blockquote>

[Teal'c raises a hand, stopping the group. He puts his finger to his lips, motioning for silence. O'Neill pushes past Daniel and Carter.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What've we got, Teal'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This way.</blockquote>

[The team follows the path. It comes out at the top of a cliff, overseeing the building of the temple. They pause, watching the workers. Hundreds of people toil, breaking rocks, moving boulders, clearing away rubble.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The road out of the valley, toward the mountain.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks through binoculars in that direction, seeing several men tied to stakes in the center of the activity. They are sunburned, their heads hanging. Two appear to be natives; Connor is the third man in line. He looks exhausted, but he's still alive. O'Neill sighs and shakes his head.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'll be back in thirty minutes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If you are thinking about rescuing Connor…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(interrupting) 
Not yet. Captain? When the time comes, I'll need your help to get in the front door.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(nods) 
I'm prepared for that, sir.</blockquote>

[O'Neill takes off through the woods.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
There will be none left to worship him if this continues.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Kinda like Abraham.</blockquote>

[Carter and Teal'c look at him, puzzled.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Who was Abraham?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh…Biblical figure. Believed to be the father of man. God tested his faith by instructing him to make a great sacrifice. His son, Issac.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(frowns) 
Did he sacrifice his son?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(nods) 
He gave it a good shot before an angel stopped him. At the last minute.</blockquote>

[Carter looks through the binoculars and sees one of the workers fall. Several other men try to catch him. Down at the site, Baker sees it too.]

<blockquote>BAKER 
Get up!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CAVE DWELLER 
He worked straight through the night. He needs rest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BAKER 
Shut up. 
(leans in close, shouting at the fallen man.) 
Do I have to make an example? Do I?</blockquote>

[The native cringes. Baker swings back his rifle, and hits the worker several times. The boy cries out, flinching away as he is hit. His friends desert him. Carter hands the binoculars to Teal'c.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hey. Look over there. </blockquote>

[She points to the beating taking place. As Teal'c looks, Carter rises to her feet.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Whoa.. Where you going?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I can't just stay here and watch him beat that man to death.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You will be captured.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh-huh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, and you think that's a plan?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Daniel, I can get to Hanson, that's what the Colonel was talking about.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, can you at least wait until he gets back?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The man could be dead by then.</blockquote>

[Carter takes off.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We should have stopped her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We would have failed.</blockquote>

[O'Neill is at the top of another bluff, looking at the proceedings from a different angle. Picking up his rifle, he looks through the telescopic sight at the prisoners and at Connor.]

[Teal'c looks through his binoculars at Baker, still beating the young native. Carter comes up behind him, pulls the gun away, then punches the guard in the face. Baker falls.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Ah. That was refreshing.</blockquote>

[O'Neill runs down the path, joining Teal'c and Daniel.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Connor looks bad. There's two guards be…</blockquote>

[His voice trails off as he sees what's happening below. Carter raises her hands, then takes off her rifle as she's taken prisoner.]

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

[Daniel wordlessly motions to Carter. His mouth moves, but no words come out.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(sighs) 
Never mind. It's probably our only way in without a firefight anyway.</blockquote>

[Carter walks to Hanson's cave, trailed by two native guards and Baker.]

'''INT—HANSON'S CAVE'''

[Baker pushes Carter in front of him with the rifle.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
All right, all right.</blockquote>

[The cave is full of people. Fires burn in various spots. Hanson sits in a corner, on a large chair obviously meant to be a throne. Three young native girls sit at his feet.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
(throws off his hood) 
Well. It's about time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hello, Jonas.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
(nods and grimaces) 
And you never thought I'd amount to anything. Quite a leap, isn't it? From Captain to…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(interrupting) 
What's happened to you, Jonas?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
Please. Sit down. </blockquote>

[He motions to a chair. Carter sits.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
These caves were once mines; they permeate the hillside for miles. But these people, they've been multiplying like rabbits. They don't have the technology to dig themselves more space; they don't have the courage to leave the caves. It's like a third world country in a bottle.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And you think you're saving them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
Oh. I know I am. 
(They stare at each other in silence for a moment.) 
These people, they're human beings. They're like us. How can we turn our backs on them? Kidnapped from Earth. Forced into slavery for centuries…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We can't change that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
Yes! We can. We must help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, how does posing as a god and slowly working these people to death help them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
I hate that word. Stop using it. I am not posing.</blockquote>

[Carter shakes her head in disbelief.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
It is a matter of definition. My people need me. They believe in me. And because they believe, they work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
To death.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
We're building a civilization, Sam. There are going to be sacrifices. It's better than rotting in caves, living and dying in squalor like you've never seen! I'm creating a great people.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
In your image?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
Yes. 
(He smiles.) 
It's going to be wondrous. You'll see. You'll see.</blockquote>

'''EXT—BLUFF OVERLOOKING WORK SITE'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, we're going to have to get one of them alone. Talk to him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They could give us away.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Maybe not. </blockquote>

[He looks through the binoculars as the young man who was beaten by Baker stumbles away from the site.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Maybe not. I think I've got just the candidate.</blockquote>

'''EXT—BESIDE A STREAM'''

[The young native is bent down, splashing water on his face. He examines a wound on his arm, pulling out a cloth to clean it. Daniel moves up and squats beside him, giving a friendly wave. The boy nervously turns away, but O'Neill moves to stand at his other side. He turns to run, but Teal'c is standing behind him. When the boy looks up at Teal'c, the Jaffa moves one finger to his lips.]

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

'''INT—HANSON'S CAVE'''

[Hanson is examining the cave paintings on the wall. There are pictures of an antelope-like animal being hunted by stick figures. An orange shape rises above them.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
I really wish I understood these drawings.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why don't you ask your people?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
(spreads his arms ruefully) 
All-knowing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You knew I would come, didn't you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
How could you not? Healer of the emotionally wounded. I was your one failure. The bird with the broken wing that wouldn't heal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You seem to be flying well enough on your own.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
I'd hoped that you would understand.</blockquote>

[While Hanson turns his attention away, Carter grabs a pistol, cocks and aims it at him.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I do understand. You're sick and you need help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
That's your idea of help?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes. You're coming back with me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
No. You're going to have to use it, Sam.</blockquote>

[Carter stares at him, her hand steady.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
Go on.</blockquote>

[Carter's hand starts to tremble.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
It's still loaded. Pull the trigger.</blockquote>

[Hanson starts to move closer. Carter's hand shakes.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
Do it!</blockquote>

[Carter jumps and readjusts her grip.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
'Cause so help me, that is the only way you're going to stop me.</blockquote>

[Carter's eyes tear up. Her hand is visibly shaking.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
What's a few deaths compared to the survival of my people. Killing their savior might irritate them a little, but at least I'd be gone.</blockquote>

[Carter is shaking her head, the gun bobbing up and down.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Don't make me do this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
(whispering) 
Come on, pull the trigger. One more fraction of an inch.</blockquote>

[Hanson moves closer. Carter blinks back tears. Hanson reaches out and takes the gun from Carter's grasp. She chokes back a sob.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
You had the gun. You appeared to have all the power. Yet I was in control. That is the strength of a god.</blockquote>

'''EXT—BESIDE STREAM'''

[The man that Daniel, O'Neill and Teal'c snuck up on is huddled under a bush, clearly frightened.]

<blockquote>JAMALA 
My name is Jamala. Jamala. Please don't kill me. Please don't..</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(raising hand) 
No! We won't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAMALA 
Jonas said that you would come. Devils with power like him; here to destroy us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No! No, we're not devils 
(yanks off sunglasses) 
we're men like yourself. We're uh…I'm Daniel, this is Jack, and he's Teal'c.</blockquote>

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

[He smiles.]

<blockquote>JAMALA 
(whispers) 
Is he Jaffa?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAMALA 
Don't kill me. Please don't</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No. No, It's okay. He's…friendly.</blockquote>

[Jamala looks at Teal'c in disbelief.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
He's a friend. </blockquote>

[Daniel stands and walks to stand beside Teal'c, putting his arm around Teal'c's shoulder.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
See? 
(to Teal'c) 
Smile, look friendly.</blockquote>

[Teal'c raises his lip in an attempt to smile. It looks more like a snarl.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You're going to have to work on that a little bit.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Now, how do you know he is Jaffa? Have you seen one before?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAMALA 
(shakes his head) 
No. Just stories from when I was a young boy. Long ago. 
(looks to O'Neill) 
He is a servant of the old gods, yes?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, yes and no. He's from another place. So are we.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAMALA 
Another place?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Earth. It's way, way out there. Where we're from. Jonas too. See, he's not a god, he's just a man. A crazy man, granted but…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(interupting) 
Okay. Okay. Jonas is bad.</blockquote>

[Jamala skuttles backward. Daniel rolls his eyes.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
But it's all right. He can't hear you right now. He can't hurt you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
But he will if you and your people continue to believe in him and follow him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAMALA 
No, he will save us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
By laboring you in the sun until extinction?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAMALA 
If we finish the temple, Jonas will make the sky orange. It will be safe to come out in the light. There will be no more sickness.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
The sky? Orange?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAMALA 
The sky. Up there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, I know what the sky is. Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAMALA 
When the sky is orange, it's good. There's no more sickness.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
And Jonas can make the sky orange?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAMALA 
Yes. He can.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
How do you know?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAMALA 
He says he can.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You know what he's talking about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I believe so.</blockquote>

'''EXT—OUTSIDE HANSON'S CAVE'''

[Carter follows Hanson out. He stops, and motions to the work going on.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
It's going to be magnificent, isn't it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What's the point, Jonas? By the time it's built there'll be no one left to worship you.</blockquote> <blockquote>HANSON 
Please. Mere survival for these people will require unquestioning faith. Pure devotion. They must believe in me. If I am to lead them into the desert, through the Promised Land. I'm merely separating the wheat from the chaff. 
(his voice changes) 
Besides, I'm supposed to be crazy, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I never said you were crazy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
But you think it, don't you? 
(Laughs) 
Well, that's all right. I also have faith in you, even if you don't believe in me. Yet. You'll come around.</blockquote>

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

[Hanson frowns, studying her face. He grabs her arm.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
Come here.</blockquote>

'''EXT—WOODS'''

[On a small notepad, Teal'c sketches a shape similar to the object in the cave paintings.]

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is something I have seen the Goa'ulds use. It creates an energy force high in the air.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What, protection from radiation? Like…like this planet's sun?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The device I saw appeared to turn the sky orange.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAMALA 
The cave paintings tell of this. They show this symbol.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Have you ever actually seen one of these things he's talking about?</blockquote>

[Jamala nods.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Where?</blockquote>

'''INT—HANSON'S CAVE'''

[Hanson strides in, Carter behind him. He whips off a curtain, and leads her to a material-covered object. He pulls off the material to reveal an actual device like the one Teal'c has just drawn.]

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

<blockquote>HANSON 
(shrugs) 
Looks like something the Goa'ulds left behind. What I've gathered, from the local folklore, is that the ancient…gods used it to make the sky orange, to protect the people from the sun sickness.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Some sort of shield.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You don't know how to work it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
Not my area of expertise.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(snorts) 
You never cared about my coming here because you wanted me, Jonas. You just wanted me to figure out how to turn this thing on for you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
Oh, no. That's not true. 
(He puts his hands on her arms, staring at her) 
I sincerely hope that one day, you will agree to be my goddess.</blockquote>

[Carter is unmoved.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
Turn it on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What if I won't?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
(intently) 
Then we will watch every last cave dweller die in the sun before I kill us both. </blockquote>

[He walks away to stand on the other side of the device.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
(proclaiming) 
He hath not failed one word of His good promises.</blockquote>

[Hanson reaches into his robe and pulls out a small bible.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
I've been carrying this for years. All along, I've been looking for God… 
(shrugs and looks heavenward) 
…And here I am.</blockquote>

'''EXT — WOODS'''

[Jamala, dressed in O'Neill's uniform, is speaking with Teal'c. Behind them, O'Neill, dressed in Jamala's clothing, with pants, is smearing his face with camouflage makeup, to look like dirt.]

<blockquote>JAMALA 
So…you betrayed your gods, as I am betraying mine?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The beings I betrayed were not gods. They had power, but power alone does not make one a god. Do you understand?"</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Daniel) 
I can't leave Connor out there another day. He'll die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We also have to do something about Captain Carter. But if Teal'c can turn on this device, we could seriously undermine Hanson's power.</blockquote>

[O'Neill wraps a cloth around his head, similar to the natives' headcovering.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
There is a problem with your plan, Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Wait, don't tell me you don't know how to turn it on?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Yes, I can turn it on. But there must be two.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What are you talking about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The shield technology involves a force field being bounced back and forth between two devices.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAMALA 
I have only seen one, in his cave.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hanson may not know he needs a second device.</blockquote>

[Pulling out the small notebook, Teal'c draws triangles to represent the surrounding mountains.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This is the valley. Here is the Stargate. </blockquote>

[He draws a circle on one end to represent the Stargate, and a building on the other.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Here is the temple. </blockquote>

[Teal'c points to the sketch of the building.]

<blockquote>JAMALA 
(sounding impressed) 
Good drawing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Thank you. Where was the first device found?</blockquote>

[Jamala points to a spot near the Stargate. Teal'c marks an x near where Jamala pointed.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Then the second device is…</blockquote>

[Teal'c places a second x and circles it; all the way across the valley and near the temple. He draws an arc, joining the two and making a shield over the valley.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You're assuming the Goa'ulds just shut them down and left them in place.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
That is correct.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm sorry Teal'c, but your calculations could be way off. Connor doesn't have time for us to be wrong. I'll go after him. You try and find that second device. I'll try to meet you back here.</blockquote>

[O'Neill leaves.]

'''EXT — WOODA'''

[Teal'c and Daniel follow Jamala through the woods. Where Teal'c had placed the x, they discover a ruined temple; but there is no shield device in sight.]

<blockquote>JAMALA 
This place is like where the other one was found on the far side of the temple.</blockquote>

[Daniel and Jamala walk up steps and kneel on what was the floor of the temple. Daniel begins wiping debris off the stones.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Agh. This is like solid rock, well never be able to get through this.</blockquote>

[Teal'c joins Daniel and Jamala. He taps the platform with the end of his staff weapon. Nothing happens, but the tapping sounds hollow.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Stand aside.</blockquote>

[Daniel looks up at Teal'c, then jumps up, grabbing and pushing Jamala off the platform and into the woods. Teal'c moves off the platform. He aims and fires his staff weapon at the stone floor. A large, perfectly circular hole is the result. Daniel runs to it, Teal'c and Jamala follow.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(looking down into the hole) 
Ah. I just hope it still functions.</blockquote>

'''EXT — HANSON'S OPERATION'''

[O'Neill makes his way toward the poles. He stops behind one of the mined blocks of stone and pulls out a blowgun. He aims at one of the guards and blows. The dart hits the guard in the chest; the man passes out and falls down the cliff. O'Neill walks up to Connor, who is slumped against the pole, his eyes closed.]

<blockquote>CONNOR 
Kill me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Are you sure? I've come all this way.</blockquote>

[Connor's head snaps up in surprise. O'Neill unties him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Can you walk?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CONNOR 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Let's go.</blockquote>

[O'Neill takes Connor's arm, supporting him as they start slowly walking away. Both duck their heads as several workers and a guard pass them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Think we can pick up the pace a little bit here?</blockquote>

[There is a shout from behind them, Baker walks out from behind another stone block, several guards following him. Baker cocks his gun. O'Neill and Connor stop. They turn around. The guards surround the O'Neill and Connor .]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, how you doing? You know we'd love to stick around but some brain-dead sycophant left my buddy out here to die. So we're out of here.</blockquote>

[Baker backhands O'Neill across the face.]

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

[Baker takes O'Neill's gun and knife.]

<blockquote>BAKER 
Move.</blockquote>

[He pushes O'Neill and they all start to walk.]

'''INT — HANSON'S CAVE'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
The main control board seems to follow the same basic circuitry patterns as the Gate technology.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON

I see everything's working out just as we planned. </blockquote>

[O'Neill raises his eyebrows. Hanson walks up to O'Neill and uncuffs his hands.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
Shoot him!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No! All right I'll…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Wait, you're going to turn this thing on in here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
Do it now. If it works, I'll spare him.</blockquote>

[Carter looks to O'Neill, who nods and waves her to do it. Carter turns the device on; orange light beam of light shoots up into the sky. Nothing else happens.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
It's beautiful.</blockquote>

'''EXT — WOODS'''

[Daniel wipes debris from the second shield device. Teal'c is watching.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Will it work?</blockquote>

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

[Jamala runs at top speed towards Daniel and Teal'c.]

<blockquote>JAMALA 
Everyone is being forced to gather at the circle of the gods.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The Stargate.</blockquote>

'''EXT — STARGATE'''

[The Stargate has been tilted so that it's flat on the ground. The stairs now provide an improvised stage above the Stargate. Connor and O'Neill kneel on this platform, their hands tied. Baker stands behind them, holding a gun. Hanson stands beyond that, beside the first shield device. Natives surround the Gate, gazing at Hanson.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
My children. Today is a great day! The sun hath stood still in the heavens, and hastened not to go down about a whole day. I have the power to help, and to cast down. But fear not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord.</blockquote>

[As Hanson crosses to the DHD, Carter is revealed, standing on the stairs, her hands bound.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
Today, we will bury the doorway, that brings forth demons who threaten to undo us. But first…I will send those evil undoers who have already invaded our world, back to the hell from whence they came.</blockquote>

[Hanson points to O'Neill and Connor . He turns, and presses the symbols on the DHD for Earth.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
Fear not, for I the lord your god, control the gateway to the underworld.</blockquote>

[Hanson presses the crystal in the center of the DHD. The natives jump as the wormhole is engaged. The even horizon shoots straight up, in a tower of what looks like water. The natives cower in fear. Carter stares.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
You said you wouldn't kill them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
I'm not, I'm sending them back to Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Without sending the signal to open the iris, they'll die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
(sarcastically) 
Please, Sam, I'm having a moment here. 
(to the crowd) 
I am the lord your god; there is nothing I cannot do. No one is greater then I. No one is more powerful than I. 
(to Baker, quietly) 
Throw them in.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Connor are pushed to the edge of the rock platform overlooking the wormhole. As they look down, Daniel appears. He jumps up onto a rock, where he can oversee the crowd.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Wait! Stop!</blockquote>

[Jamala shoots Baker with Teal'c's staff weapon before he can fire.]

<blockquote>JAMALA 
Back away!</blockquote>

[Hanson pulls out a gun; Carter jumps, and kicks it out of his hands. Hanson whirls around and backhands her. As Hanson and Carter fight, Jamala shoots the staff again; the blast just misses Hanson. He stops and turns, losing interest in Carter, who's on the ground.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Listen to me, no matter what Jonas has shown you or done for you, he is not a god.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
Don't listen to him! They are demons, agents of the devil! I am your savior!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're not demons, for crying out loud!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This…</blockquote>

[Daniel jumps to the ground, picks up a gun and jumps back up on the rock again.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This…this is not magical power. It is called a gun, and it is a machine.</blockquote>

[Daniel makes the clip fall out. The natives gasp.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
Do as I say! Or you will all die!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Do as he says and you WILL die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
Do not betray me; after all I have done for you! I promised you I would bring you out of the caves, into the light. Today I fulfill that promised. </blockquote>

[He moves to the shield device.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
Behold…the magical power that belongs to your god! 
(he points to himself) 
I give you the sun.</blockquote>

[Hanson turns the device on.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
I give you the world!</blockquote>

[Again, the orange light goes straight up. The natives cower and stare expectantly, but the light does nothing more. As O'Neill gets the ropes off his wrists, Hanson goes over to Carter. He jerks her by her vest.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
What's wrong?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't know!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HANSON 
Fix it!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's a machine. I can make it work, and so can you, just like Jamala there can fire that staff. Now, I'll show you how. There are two devices. And both must be turned on for the shield to work. Watch.</blockquote>

[Daniel nods to Jamala, who shoots the staff weapon into the air. On the other side of the valley, Teal'c sees the shot. He turns on the other shield, a beam of orange light shoots into the sky. His light arcs toward the other, and the two beams hook together like a rainbow. A large orange dome forms.]

<blockquote>MAN 
Look! Look!</blockquote>

[After a quick look around at the natives, Hanson grabs Carter.]

<blockquote>HANSON 
I'm taking you with me!</blockquote>

[O'Neill pushes Connor out of the way and tackles Hanson. Both men and Carter fall of the platform and to the ground. The natives rebel as one in an angry wave. They attack Hanson, picking him up. Working with one mind, they toss Hanson into the wormhole. Carter looks on, shocked and sad. There was no chance to dial the iris code.]

'''EXT — STARGATE'''

[The Stargate is upright again. SG-1, Jamala, Connor and a few natives are hovering. Carter walks over to O'Neill.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh, I think we're ready.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Think we should tell them to bury the Gate after were gone?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Teal'c seems to think the Goa'ulds won't be back.</blockquote>

[Daniel joins them.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Maybe we should come back and check on these guys.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I think we've done enough, don't you?</blockquote> [Daniel looks at her, then nods and walks away.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Something else on your mind?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I had the chance to end this, Colonel. He literally asked me to do it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Killing a man is no badge of honor, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I know. </blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Look, I'm no expert on this thing. 
(He waves Hanson's bible) 
I generally read one commandment, and I think it's the first.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
"I am the Lord your God, and you shall take no other Gods before me?"</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(stops and makes a face) 
Okay, it's not the first one. I'm talking about the "No Killing" one. No matter what the reason, every time you break it, you take one step closer to Hanson.</blockquote>

[He looks at Carter, who nods.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Thanks. </blockquote>

[O'Neill hands her the bible, then goes to where the rest of SG-1 and the villagers are talking.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Jamala) 
So, you going to be all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>JAMALA 
Yes. 
(He shakes O'Neill's hand) 
The world outside the caves…it's very big, yes?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah…it's bigger then you can imagine.</blockquote>

[Daniel and Jamala shake hands. Daniel walks and to DHD and dials Earth. Carter transmits the iris code. SG-1 and Connor walk through the Gate. The natives watch them go, Jamala at their head. He looks up at the orange dome, which is now keeping his people safe.]

'''TEASER'''

'''INT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN, BRIEFING ROOM'''

[SG-1 is seated around the briefing table, along with Makepeace and the rest of SG-3. Hammond is pacing the room.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
When we completed interviews of all the refugees you brought back from Chu'lak, ten of them identified the final four symbols the Goa'ulds used to escape through the Chu'lak stargate. When we disregard the last one as point of origin that leaves three to work with.</blockquote>

[Cues a computer screen to display the glyphs.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Captain Carter's computer model has thus far extrapolated only one set of symbols from the Abydos cartouche that contains these three glyphs.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Let me guess. That's where we're going.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Very good Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you sir. I pride myself on my deductive reasoning skills.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
In one hour you will go through the Gate to the planet represented by these symbols. It has been designated P3X-797.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Couldn't we name this planet something that's a little easier to remember?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Ah, it's based on a binary code the computer uses for extrapolation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Which makes it much easier to remember.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We sent a MALP probe through thirty minutes ago. Atmosphere is breathable, no detectable radiation and temperature approximately forty degrees Fahrenheit.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Can we see the video playback sir?</blockquote>

[Hammond pauses]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
There is no video playback.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why no playback?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It appears to be very dark where the Gate resides on this planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, the MALP probe has lights on it, doesn't it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We think they were broken during transport through the Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This is crazy. We don't know what could be there waiting for us when we come through.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAKEPEACE 
Don't you worry boys. That's why the SG-3 Marines are coming with. You can count on us to watch your backsides.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Actually 
(he gestures) 
it's more my front side I was worried about.</blockquote>

[Makepeace raises his eyebrows at Daniel.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Close up shot of stargate spinning. O'Neill, Carter and Teal'c make their way to the Gate.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN'S VOICE 
Chevron four, encoded. Chevron five, encoded.</blockquote>

[Daniel rushes in.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You're late; put these on.</blockquote>

[He hands Daniel night vision goggles.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(looks at goggles) 
Doesn't look like my prescription.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN'S VOICE 
Chevron six, encoded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Thermal night vision goggles.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, here's a question. Why doesn't the MALP have a set of these?</blockquote>

[Carter grins.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN'S VOICE 
Chevron seven, locked.</blockquote>

[Gate whooshes into life.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND'S VOICE 
SG-1 and SG-3 you have a go. Repeat, you have a go.</blockquote>

[Makepeace pushes his way through SG-1]

<blockquote>MAKEPEACE 
Okay, we'll take point.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah. We'll go through first. You watch our lovely backsides, remember?</blockquote>

[O'Neill heads up the ramp.]

<blockquote>MAKEPEACE 
Have it your way, flyboy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Are you out of your mind?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
If Skaara or Sha're are on the other side those jarheads'll open fire as soon as they see the light of their eyes, if you know what I mean. You want that?</blockquote>

[Daniel gestures for O'Neill to go forward.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Give us ten count then "come on down."</blockquote>

[SG-1 steps through the wormhole. SG-3 step up to the Gate.]

<blockquote>MAKEPEACE 
One-one thousand. Two-one thousand.</blockquote>

'''EXT—P3X-797'''

[SG-1 step from the Gate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(whispers) 
Fan out.</blockquote>

[SG-1 puts on the night vision goggles and sees people running though the underbrush. They are attacked. SG-3 comes through the wormhole and opens fire over their heads.]

<blockquote>MAKEPEACE 
Fire!</blockquote>

[Attackers run off.]

<blockquote>MAKEPEACE 
I'm real glad it was you who took point.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm okay. Thanks for asking. Everybody else?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I think so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What were those things?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I haven't the slightest idea.</blockquote>

'''END TEASER'''

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''EXT—P3X-797'''

[O'Neill gestures Makepeace forward.]

<blockquote>MAKEPEACE 
Judson.</blockquote>

[SG-3 follow Makepeace through the forest. SG-1 spy on a group of their attackers.] **** <blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, what are they?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, they don't look completely Homo sapiens. Ah, the larger brow ridge would imply Homo erectus but then again they'd have canine teeth. Ah, could be Australopithecus but then the brow ridge would be less prominent.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You don't know, do you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why does that one female look different? She looks more human.</blockquote>

[They see as the girl gets grabbed.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We have to stop them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, that's how prehistoric males probably always had sex. Forcibly. The strongest male gets to mate, that's survival of the fittest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well I call it rape and I think we should stop it.</blockquote>

[She starts to get up.]

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

[O'Neill gestures for her to get back down. Rocks start flying.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Where are those rocks coming from?</blockquote>

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

[He gestures toward a group of figures dressed in white who are throwing rocks at the primitives.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Makepeace, you and your men take a wide left flank. We'll take the right. Go. 
(to SG-1) 
Let's go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SG-3 MEMBER 
(to people in white) 
Don't move!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, hold your fire!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Get away. Lower your weapons!</blockquote>

<blockquote>SG-3 MEMBER 
They could be Goa'ulds.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Just keep 'em covered.</blockquote>

[He checks the neck of one of the people in white.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There's no entry scar. They're not Goa'ulds. Lower your weapons kids.</blockquote> (To Daniel) 
Any idea what they are?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TUPLO 
My Lord, we are the untouched, I am High Councilor Tuplo.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WOMAN IN WHITE 
We are pleased the gods have deemed us worthy of a return visit.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ah, only the gods come through the Stargate I think they're talking about us. We should probably start getting used to this kind of treatment.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh for crying out loud, we're not gods. Get up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Please.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
C'mon.</blockquote>

[SG-1 helps Tuplo and his people to their feet.]

<blockquote>WOMAN IN WHITE 
(to Tuplo) 
Perhaps they wish us to treat them as mortals. A test?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TUPLO 
Please. Let us take you to the Land of Light.</blockquote>

'''INT—MINOAN STYLE TEMPLE—LAND OF LIGHT'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Love what they've done with the place.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I was going to do my living room like this, but it didn't go with my other stuff.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Looks Minoan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TUPLO 
Welcome. Please, come. Sit.</blockquote>

[SG-1 sit with Tuplo and his people at a table while Makepeace and SG-3 stand guard.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Is she all right?</blockquote>

[She nods at where the young woman is lying down)]

<blockquote>TUPLO 
I do hope. She is my daughter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What's her name?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TUPLO 
She is called Melosha. I can only hope we rescued her in time from the hands of the Touched. We must now wait to see if she has been cursed by them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
The creatures that took her, what were they exactly?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TUPLO 
They are the Touched. They were unfortunate enough to be cursed by the Hilk'sha.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hilk'sha. There's a word like that on Abydos. Is that Gods of the Earth?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Gods of the Underworld. Evil Gods.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LEEDORA 
The Hilk'sha needed only to touch the unfortunate among us and they would become possessed. Pure evil, like wild animals.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So these…Touched people used to live here, with you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TUPLO 
They were us, until they changed. They became too dangerous and we were forced to banish them to the Land of the Dark.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And where are these evil gods now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>LEEDORA 
Oh, they do not show themselves. We know only of their presence because of their actions.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
When was the last time the good gods came around?</blockquote>

<blockquote>LEEDORA 
Well, if you are not them, then it has been at least a generation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
A generation. Okay. 
(looks at the rest of SG-1) 
Um, will you excuse us for a moment? 
(to the Untouched as they rise) 
Ah, no. Please no. Wait</blockquote>

[He leads SG-1 over to the stairs for a conference.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sounds like the Goa'ulds aren't here and haven't been for some time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
That is my assessment as well.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I agree.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
In that case gear up. We'll move out in fifteen minutes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Wait a minute.</blockquote>

[Daniel and Carter glance at each other.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Move out?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah. Back to the Stargate. Back to Earth. Terra firma. Home. You've heard of it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
W'uh, well we should stay awhile longer and study the society. Learn how they've evolved from Minoan culture. I mean, see those statues over there, those are bulls. The bull is all throughout Minoan culture on Earth but we never really knew why.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey I'm a big fan of all this stuff, but art appreciation is not what this mission is about. Get your gear together.</blockquote>

[Walks off with Teal'c leaving Daniel and Carter to look at each other.]

'''WORMHOLE EFFECT'''

'''INT—GATE ROOM—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

[SG-1 and SG-3 come through the Gate. Hammond walks in and greets them.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Find anything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Uh, no sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes sir. Uh, actually sir, we found a whole hell of a lot, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Some beautiful décor, nice folks, nothing of strategic importance, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
All right, get cleaned up. Mission debrief in half an hour.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes sir.</blockquote>

[They walk out leaving Daniel with a frustrated look on his face.]

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

[SG-1 and SG-3 are seated around the briefing table along with Hammond.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm sorry sir, I know I'm a guest at this party, but I have to protest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Let me guess Doctor. This is a science versus military discussion again?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well…yes. This mission was a perfect example of my argument. We should have stayed on that planet longer. It was the perfect opportunity to study Minoan culture.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Not to mention primitive man.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This really isn't necessary doctors, I've already—</blockquote>

[Daniel breaks in.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sir, would you let me finish, please? 
(Hammond nods) 
Okay, um, the people on the dark side are pre-Stone Age, but the people on the light side are clearly from the Bronze Age, so what better opportunity to study the Broca Divide?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(yawns) 
The what? Excuse me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Broca Divide. Pierre Paul Broca was a nineteenth century anthropologist, he founded…</blockquote>

[Johnson glares at Teal'c.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
…modern craniometry, to study craniums and brains and to compare the divide in intelligence between early species of mankind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Fascinating. 
(turns to Hammond) 
Should I start the debriefing sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, that would be a good idea Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(breaking in) 
Now just, just wait a minute.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(breaking in) 
Dr. Jackson you're wasting your breath, you've already won the argument.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
But I have to insist that you, w—, wha—, wha—, what? I've already won?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
The president agrees with you. He's asked that we evaluate the scientific and cultural value of each mission from now on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(rolls eyes) 
Oh, for crying out loud.</blockquote>

[He rubs his eyes.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
He has…</blockquote>

[Hammond nods.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's great.</blockquote>

[Johnson jumps up and attacks Teal'c]

<blockquote>JOHNSON 
Wonder how that thing in your gut would like its neck ripped in half.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Please release me Lieutenant Johnson.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAKEPEACE 
(jumps up) 
Johnson! Let him go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>JOHNSON 
Not until the Goa'uld apologizes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(stands up) 
Lieutenant Johnson take your seat now.</blockquote>

[Johnson screams and takes a swing at Teal'c. Teal'c blocks the punch easily and subdues Johnson.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
General, I would prefer to not hurt this man.</blockquote>

[Hammond nods and security runs in and takes charge of Johnson.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What is your problem, marine?</blockquote>

[Johnson foams at the mouth.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Take him to the infirmary, tell them to keep him in restraints and check him out.</blockquote>

[They take Johnson away.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(holding a clipboard) 
What do you think that was all about with Johnson?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(holding a piece of equipment to the 'Gate) 
Beats me. Maybe he was drunk.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I don't know. Didn't quite seem like inebriation.</blockquote>

[Two men fight in the background.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What the…?</blockquote>

[The men fall through the glass of the Briefing room and fall at least twenty feet to the Gate room floor. Carter and Daniel rush over to help.]

<blockquote>VOICE IN BACKGROUND 
I don't know, I didn't see anything.</blockquote>

[Carter rushes over to a phone.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
We need medics, section C stat, two men down.</blockquote>

[She slams the phone down and looks back at the men.]

'''INT—LOCKER ROOM—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

[O'Neill is getting dressed after a shower. The locker door slams and Carter is standing next to him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter. 
(hurries to put on shirt) 
Sorry, didn't know you were in here.</blockquote>

[Carter grabs O'Neill and kisses him. O'Neill pushes her away.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What the hell is going on?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I want you.</blockquote>

[She grabs O'Neill and kisses him again.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(muffled voice) 
Why? I mean no!</blockquote>

[He manages to push her away.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter, this is a little out of line, don't you think?</blockquote>

[Carter slams O'Neill onto a bench.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Want me?</blockquote>

[She kisses O'Neill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(muffled voice) 
No. No, not like this, for crying out loud.</blockquote>

[He pushes Carter away again.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Carter! What's gotten into you?</blockquote>

[Carter tries to kiss him again. O'Neill rolls them over and slams them onto the ground.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's about time you saw a doctor, Doctor.</blockquote>

[He pulls her up.]

'''INT—INFIRMARY—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

[Carter is in restraints.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Keep her from hurting herself until the sedative take effect.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
This pretty much what Johnson has?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Oh, I'd say so, and the other members of the team. This is the strangest thing I've ever seen. C'mon, take a look.</blockquote>

[She leads O'Neill away.]

'''INT—CORRIDOR—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

<blockquote>FRAISER 
We've converted Defcon 1 living compartments from when this place was a missile silo into isolations chambers. You never know what you're going to bring back through the stargate.</blockquote>

[Fraiser pushes open an observations panel in a cell door and they look in on Johnson.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Notice the swelling of the brow ridge? Some are even developing new follicle growth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Any idea what's causing it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Wish I knew. I've got calls in to every specialist in the service, but I've got one hand tied behind my back because of the need to know classification of the Stargate Project.</blockquote>

[She closes the observation panel and walks to another door.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
And it's spreading. We got two more in an hour later.</blockquote>

[O'Neill opens observation panel and they look in on a soldier beating his hands bloody against a wall.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I've never seen a behavioral disorder like this. All the victims are acting like animals.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You think Carter has the same thing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Mm hmm, behavior fits. All the victims are behaving like primitives. Most female, low level primates tend to choose their sexual partners according to who would give them the strongest offspring. The leaders of a pack or tribe are usually the prime choice, you should be flattered.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh yeah…I'm honored.</blockquote>

'''INT—CONTROL ROOM—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack! There you are. Got on the internet to do a little research on Australopithecus and, wow…What happened to you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, I got into a little wrestling match with Carter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I guess she's got whatever Johnson got. I had to drag her off to the infirmary.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What, she start a fight with you like Johnson did with Teal'c?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, she uh, she tried to seduce me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh. You poor man.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, it wasn't like that. She was like a wild animal, she was nuts.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well is she all right? I should go see her.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What do you mean "why"? Because I care about her.</blockquote>

[O'Neill grabs Daniel.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Care about her, what does that mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It means I care about her, she's my friend. Now let go!</blockquote>

[Daniel tries to pull away.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
She's not yours to care about.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What the hell are you talking about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm talking about Samantha, you just stay away from her, okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Okay. Okay Jack. I think you should come with me to the infirmary, okay? Just let go of me and…let go of my arm!</blockquote>

[O'Neill punches Daniel who falls back into a shelf and goes crashing to the ground.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
Security, get in here!</blockquote>

[O'Neill jumps on Daniel and starts beating him up. Security and the technician drag O'Neill off Daniel and haul him away.]

<blockquote>FEMALE OFFICER 
(helps Daniel up) 
You okay?</blockquote>

[Daniel gazes after O'Neill, blood on his face.]

'''INT—INFIRMARY—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

[Blood is being taken from Daniel and Teal'c.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
We've managed to isolate an organism in the victims' bloodsteams.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Organism? Like a parasite or something?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
More like a, a parasitical virus and from what I can tell it seems to feed on alines and colines; chemical transmitters in the body. That includes neurotransmitters. As they're depleted, all but the most primitive parts of the brain seem to just shut down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That why they act like animals?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Actually, the organism seems to release a hormone that stimulates the primitive regions of the brain that are normally dormant. I-I have never seen anything like this on Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Exactly. On Earth. That would explain the Touched.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Beg your pardon?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
That's what the primitives were called on P3X-797. The Touched.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
But I think, given recent events 
(looks over at Carter, still restrained on the hospital bed) 
I think it's safe to say they aren't born primitive, they must have the very contagious disease and we came in contact with them. Isn't that special?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
So, the question is: Why haven't you and Mr. Teal'c come down with the symptoms?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Um, Mr. Teal'c's—Teal'c's symbiote probably protects him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
That would be likely.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
So what about you, Dr. Jackson?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, that beats me. You're the doctor, Doctor. Uh, maybe I have a natural immunity.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Perhaps you will develop symptoms later.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Thank you, for the moral support.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I am checking both of your blood for the organism and I would bet that you both have it. This appears to be highly contagious.</blockquote> <blockquote>HAMMOND 
Are you saying we could have brought a new plague to this planet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Yes sir, that's exactly what I'm saying.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well that's it. I'm ordering this mountain sealed off. No one comes in or goes out until we get a handle on this thing.</blockquote>

[Hammond walks out. Teal'c, Fraiser, and Daniel run off in the direction of a scream.]

'''INT—CORRIDOR—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

<blockquote>VOICE OVER SPEAKERS 
Containment team three to sublevel 28.</blockquote>

[Teal'c, Fraiser and Daniel arrive at a door marked "IS-19." Teal'c slides open the observation panel to see O'Neill screaming and slamming against the door.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He is going to damage himself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I've been pumping him with sedatives to control him, but they wear off fast. Help me give him some more. Let's go, go!</blockquote>

[They rush into the room and Teal'c, Daniel and a soldier hold O'Neill while Fraiser injects him with a sedative. O'Neill slowly collapses against a bunk.]

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

[Soldiers rush up and begin sealing off the mountain.]

'''INT—HAMMOND'S OFFICE—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

[The red phone rings.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(into the phone) 
Yes sir, this is General Hammond. Sir, I'm afraid I have a serious situation here. It appears we brought a very contagious disease through the stargate. Yes sir, that's right. Well sir, I've ordered the mountain sealed off, but I think you should order in an army division to set up a second line of defense. Well sir, my recommendation is that anyone attempting to leave the mountain should be shot on sight, and the body burned.</blockquote>

'''INT—INFIRMARY—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

[Hammond walks in.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Good news, General.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Could use some of that around now. What is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
These gentlemen… 
(brings Hammond over to Daniel and Teal'c) 
…don't appear to have the organism in their system. Now, if we can just isolate why they've been able to resist it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Perhaps we should ask the Untouched how they avoid contracting the disease.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Maybe they know something we don't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I could use a blood sample from one of the uninfected, maybe they have something in their systems to protect them. Something we can synthesize.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
All right. 
(waves at Teal'c and Daniel) 
Either of you know how to draw blood?</blockquote>

[Daniel and Teal'c look back blankly.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Doctor, teach them. You go through in half an hour, gear up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
W—w—w—wait, wait. Just the…two of us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You're immune. I don't know anyone else who is!</blockquote>

'''INT—GATE ROOM—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

[Teal'c and Daniel walk in. Daniel sneezes.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Do not worry, Daniel Jackson, the Touched are frightened by your loud, Earth weapons. We can easily subdue them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's easy for you to say.</blockquote>

[They step through the Gate.]

'''WORMHOLE EFFECTS'''

'''EXT—DARK SIDE—P3X-797'''

[Daniel puts a hand out to stop Teal'c. They come across a body lying on the side of the path.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It's Melosha. She's alive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It appears she is afflicted.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So they just dump her out here?</blockquote>

[He starts to check Melosha over.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We dump them in a small room.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
To protect them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
To protect everyone else. There is little difference.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You know you're right. They're like lepers. The dark side is a leper colony.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What is a leper?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
God, never mind. 
(pulls blanket out of pack) 
We have to help her. Are you planning on helping me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is a long journey. We should leave her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No. 
(picks up Melosha) 
Now let's go.</blockquote>

[They are suddenly surrounded by the Touched.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Teal'c!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Fire your weapon. It will frighten them off.</blockquote>

[He fires his weapon. Daniel is attacked by the Touched and he and Melosha are dragged off.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Daniel Jackson! 
(turns around to find him gone) 
Daniel! Daniel Jackson!</blockquote>

[Stoops and picks up Daniel's glasses from where they're lying on the ground.]

'''INT—IS-19—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

[Hammond is brought in.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Sorry Colonel O'Neill, but your private room just became semi-private. We're running out of places to put the victims. We've used the brigs, we've used the temp quarters, some of the storage rooms.</blockquote>

[She sighs and begins to w alkout.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(grunts) 
Doc.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
D'you say something?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(works mouth, grunts) 
Give more…</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
What? Give more what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(grunts) 
More</blockquote>

[He pushes his arm forward.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
An injection? You mean you want more sedative? 
(shakes head) 
You've already had more than the maximum safe dosage, twice as much as anyone else because you've been more violent.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(grunts) 
Give.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
No. It's not safe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(grunts louder) 
Give! Give.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Why are you so insistent?</blockquote>

[O'Neill just gazes back at her. She gives in and injects O'Neill who seems to faint.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Must have been in a lot of pain.</blockquote>

[Fraiser attempts to leave. O'Neill grunts very loudly.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Colonel O'Neill?</blockquote>

[O'Neill attempts to speak.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
(smiles) 
So you are still in there somewhere.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(grunts) 
Dream? Dream?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I'm afraid not Colonel. It's very real. This is interesting. Enough sedative must knock back the primitive mind. Colonel, listen to me. I am not going to be able to keep you at this level for very long; it is too dangerous. It could cause permanent brain damage.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(struggles to speak) 
What. What is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
It's a parasitic virus. All we can tell is that is seems to mess with body chemicals, all of them. Testosterone levels sky rocket thus the aggressive behavior. It's histamine lytic which means it breaks down histamine, we—wh—</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(breaking in; tries to speak) 
Experiment on me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Experiment on you? I'm sorry I can't do that.</blockquote>

[O'Neill touches her face.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(tries to speak) 
Increase me</blockquote>

[Speaking of the sedative.]

[Fraiser squeezes his hand and reluctantly agrees.]

'''EXT—MINOAN STYLE TEMPLE—LIGHT SIDE P3X-797'''

[Teal'c walks up to the temple.]

'''INT—MINOAN STYLE TEMPLE—LIGHT SIDE P3X-797'''

[Teal'c enters.]

<blockquote>TUPLO 
Welcome back my lord. Where are your friends?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
My friends are ill because of this place.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LEEDORA 
They have joined the Touched.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TUPLO 
They were cursed by the Hilk'sha.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is not a curse; it is a disease. I lost my friend on the dark side of this planet. You must help me retrieve him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TUPLO 
Why? So he can give you the curse? So he can give all of us the curse? No, no. He is better off where he is.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He does not have the disease. He is immune. He is not cursed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TUPLO 
Then by now, he is gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He had your daughter with him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TUPLO 
Melosha is dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
No, she is out there. On the dark side, I have seen her. Help me retrieve her and my friend.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TUPLO 
She is among the Touched, she can no longer function amongst us. Therefore, she is dead!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
She is not dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TUPLO 
If I believed otherwise do you not think I would help my own daughter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>LEEDORA 
Many of us have loved ones among the Touched. My own father is there, but we accept that we cannot help them. Therefore, they are dead to us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
How can you be so without heart?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TUPLO 
I must ask you to leave.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If you will not help me find my friend then I must have a sample of your blood.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LEEDORA 
Our blood?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TUPLO 
Our blood is our lifeforce.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I assure you it will cause you no harm.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LEEDORA 
I cannot abide this one in my presence any longer.</blockquote>

[She stalks off.]

<blockquote>TUPLO 
You are not welcome here. When we return, I expect to find you gone.</blockquote> [He walks off. Teal'c pretends to leave, but just as he reaches the entrance he knocks out both guards.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(kneels next to one of the guards) 
I am sorry.</blockquote>

[He starts to withdraw blood from the guard.]

'''EXT—DARK SIDE—P3X-797'''

[A pack of the Touched are feeding around a fire. Daniel, clothes already torn, attempts to get away but is jumped by a member of the Touched who proceeds to beat him.]

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

[Guards pacing in front of the tunnel entrance.]

'''INT—INFIRMARY—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

<blockquote>VOICE OVER SPEAKERS 
All personnel, please be advised that the mountain is now under a code five lockdown.</blockquote>

[Teal'c walks in and sees Fraiser checking Carter.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Thank god you're back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What happened to Captain Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
She was stabbed by her roommate. Don't worry it's superficial, she's going to be okay.</blockquote>

[She leads Teal'c away.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
We've run out of space; we've had to start doubling up on the iso rooms.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I have retrieved the blood sample you requested.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Good work, Mr. Teal'c.</blockquote>

'''INT—IS-19—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(grunts) 
Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am afraid I lost Daniel Jackson on the dark side of the planet. I am sorry.</blockquote>

[Fraiser walks in.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Colonel O'Neill, I think I might have something.</blockquote>

[She grabs a chair and sits down.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I was examining the blood sample that Mr. Teal'c brought me, then it hit me. There was very little histamine in it.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks at her, confused.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
If the people on that planet are human as you say, they have to have a histamine in their blood.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
How does this help us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Well as I said before, this microbe is a histamine lytic, it feeds on histamine. The Untouched have no histamine in their bodies so the organism couldn't survive in them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I do no understand. It is the Untouched that become the Touched. If they have none of this substance of which you speak why then do some of them change?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Because only some of them have this low histamine level which means there is probably a-a naturally occurring antihistamine in their diets. The ones who don't eat it eventually contract the organism. Which is what gave me an idea. I checked the files; both Dr. Jackson and I have acute rhinitis caused by severe allergies.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks at Teal'c.]

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

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I take strong antihistamines every day, so did Dr. Jackson. I have no histamine for the microbe to feed on. Just like the Untouched, the organism starves in my body.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Does this mean you have a cure?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
We have to try mega doses of chlorpheniramine maleate on someone and see if it works.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(grunts) 
Me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
I thought you might say that. Now the dose required to completely clear the body of histamine for a long enough time could be harmful. You're sure?</blockquote>

[O'Neill nods. Fraiser injects the chemical into O'Neill's IV line.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Now all we can do is wait. 
(to Teal'c) 
You better lock him up again.</blockquote>

[Teal'c lays O'Neill down and covers him with a blanket.]

'''INT—CORRIDOR OUTSIDE IS-19—CHEYENNE MOUNTAINS'''

[Teal'c is meditating outside the door.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(from inside) 
Teal'c! I'm back, open the door! Teal'c!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Opens the observation panel to a normal-looking O'Neill) 
Colonel O'Neill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Lucy, I'm home.</blockquote> <blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am not Lucy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know that. It was a reference to an old TV—never mind, open the door!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I will summon the doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, no, c'mon I'm fine, back to being myself. Just open up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I cannot be certain you are back to being yourself. You referred to me as "Lucy."</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh for crying out loud, will you just open the door?</blockquote>

[Teal'c opens the door.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
This stuff works. Let's find Doc.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
Chevron four encoded.</blockquote>

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[SG-3 and SG-1 are gearing up.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
The guns are loaded with tranquilizer darts filled with chlorpheniramine now a direct hit on a Touched man or woman should knock them out long enough in order to starve the disease. Good luck.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN'S VOICE

<blockquote>O'NEILL

[O'Neill turns away from Carter and looks towards the Gate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL

'''WORMHOLE EFFECT'''

'''EXT—DARK SIDE—P3X-797'''

[SG-1 and SG-3 surround a group of the Touched, including and obviously Touched Daniel.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Guess the antihistamine wore off.</blockquote>

[She nods at where Daniel is sitting with Melosha. O'Neill gestures to everyone and they open fire with the tranquilizer guns taking down everyone but Daniel and Melosha. SG-1 walks over to them.] ****** <blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, you dog. Keep this up, you'll have a girl on every planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Just let me give him an injection.</blockquote>

[She walks over to Daniel. Daniel attempts to jump Carter and he and Melosha are then shot with darts by the rest of the team.]

'''INT—MINOAN STYLE TEMPLE—LIGHT SIDE P3X-797'''

[SG-1 and SG-3 walk up to Tuplo and his entourage.]

<blockquote>TUPLO

<blockquote>LEEDORA 
You must not bring the Touched among us. Leave now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Just hear us out, please?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We found a cure, and we can bring back Melosha.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
And your father.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TUPLO 
Put him in the isolation circle. We will hear you.</blockquote>

[Teal'c carries Daniel to the area Melosha had been lying in before. The guards stop him.]

<blockquote>TUPLO 
Let him pass.</blockquote>

[Teal'c continues and lays Daniel down.]

'''INT—MINOAN STYLE TEMPLE—LIGHT SIDE P3X-797'''

[Everyone is seated around the banquet table.]

<blockquote>TUPLO 
If you are not gods, then how did you destroy the curse?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
[As we've been saying, Tuplo, it's not a curse. It's a disease.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
A sickness.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There's our boy.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Carter get up to join Teal'c where Daniel is lying. Daniel sits up.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Where are we?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C

[He hands Daniel his glasses.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I thought we were going to give it a better name.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL

He's back. He's normal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>LEEDORA 
Explain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We know how to lift the curse.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TUPLO 
How? If you are not gods.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come out there with us. We'll show you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TUPLO 
You have done it my lord. Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL

[He helps Tuplo and Melosha up. SG-1 and SG-3 begin to walk away]

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

<blockquote>CARTER

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(breaking in) 
Oh Carter, I don't even remember your earlier behavior.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You don't?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, I was affected too, remember?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Right. Good, I'm glad.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
By the way, how's the wound?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wound?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I understand you got stabbed in the stomach or something?</blockquote>

Oh! Yeah, it's nothing. With any luck there won't even be a scar.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, good. I was concerned.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You were?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sure. If it doesn't heal properly you'll never wear that sweet little tank top number again.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks off, leaving Carter looking after him, bemused.]

'''TEASER'''

'''EXT—PLANET—DAY'''

[Carter runs out of the wormhole, which closes behind her. The planet is green; tall trees surround the Gate. She joins O'Neill, Daniel and Teal'c as they look around. Rocks and rubble are strewn all around.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What a mess.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This temple was destroyed long ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Let's get a move on before we meet somebody who remembers why.</blockquote>

[O'Neill pulls on sunglasses. The team falls in behind him as they walk away from the Stargate.]

'''EXT—FIELD—DAY'''

[Through binoculars, we see a meadow.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
There's no signs of human life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This could be some forbidden zone.</blockquote>

[There is a faint, distant sound of barking.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wait, I hear something. It sounds like…dogs.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks through the binoculars again. The sound of barking grows louder. Suddenly, a figure appears, running over a hill. He looks behind him. The barking increases.]

[The figure is a teenage boy, with long hair and exotic looking clothing. He shouts as he runs; four large dogs come into view, chasing him. They are jumping at the boy, grabbing his clothing.]

<blockquote>ABU 
Ahh. Help! Help!</blockquote>

[O'Neill drops the binoculars, and SG-1 moves as one toward the running boy. Abu has paused, surrounded by dogs. The dogs begin to jump on him, tearing clothing.]

<blockquote>ABU 
No! Help! No! Help me! Ahhh!</blockquote>

[Abu falls to his knees as the dogs pull him down.]

<blockquote>ABU 
Ahhh! Ahhh! Help!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(waving and shouting) 
Hey, get out of here!</blockquote>

[Startled, the dogs turn and run away. Abu stumbles to his feet, turning to look at his rescuers. Teal'c and Carter run past him, chasing the dogs away. O'Neill and Daniel stop beside him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You okay?</blockquote>

[Abu looks confused.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay…o—?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
Yes, I am. Thanks be to you. But forgive me. I am Abu of the Shavadai.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Shavadai?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
The people of the steppe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well…hello! I'm, uh, Daniel Jackson. This is…</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
You are not…from the people of the river.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Uh, no.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We're…we're travelers from very far away.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
The sea of Ogada?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(pauses, then nods) 
S—sure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
(grins) 
Never have we met anyone from that far away. You will be doubly welcome in my father's camp.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(gestures to his teammates, approaching behind the boy) 
This is Teal'c, and this is Dr. Carter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The dogs are gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
For now.</blockquote>

[Abu looks shocked as he takes in Carter's appearance. He ducks his head and backs away from her, moving to stand, half-hidden behind O'Neill.]

<blockquote>ABU 
(whispers) 
This is a woman?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What do…do I have something growing out of my nose, or…</blockquote>

[Carter takes a couple steps forward; Abu will not look at her. Daniel observes Abu's attitude, then crosses to stand beside Carter.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to Carter) 
He looks really upset. It must be some sort of cultural thing.</blockquote>

[Carter purses her lips, frowns, and moves to stand in front of Abu.]

<blockquote>ABU 
(puts his hand up to stop her approach) 
No! I cannot look at you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, now I'm hurt.</blockquote>

[There's a sound of hooves, and three horses come up over the rise where Abu first appeared. All three are carrying riders. Abu looks up.]

<blockquote>MAN 
Shomo! Abu!</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
(to O'Neill, desperately) 
You must take her. You must take her and go! Go!</blockquote>

[Daniel and Teal'c move to stand with Carter, Abu and O'Neill as the horsemen ride down to them. Abu leaves the team and runs to greet the newcomers.]

<blockquote>ABU 
Raga, Raga. These people…they are from the Sea of Ogada!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HORSEMAN 
(sounding incredulous) 
One is a woman?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(stunned) 
Colonel, I think these people are Mongols.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
This is good news?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Daniel, find out what I did wrong so I can fix it.</blockquote>

[Raga dismounts, approaching the team. Abu jumps in front of him, trying to hold him away.]

<blockquote>ABU 
(pleading) 
No, no…No, let them go.</blockquote>

[Daniel walks up to the man, looking back at Carter.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
He's right. We'll just take her with us and go.</blockquote>

[Raga pulls out a sword, pushing Abu and Daniel aside. The second horseman pulls his sword, while the third pulls out a bow and nocks an arrow, aiming at the team. Daniel, Teal'c, O'Neill and Carter stand in place, looking grim.]

'''END TEASER'''

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''EXT—MEADOW—DAY'''

[It looks like a face-off, until O'Neill pulls out his pistol and fires it into the air. The horses neigh, surprised at the sudden sound; the horsemen shout in surprise as they work to control their mounts. O'Neill waves his gun in the air, smirking. Raga pushes Abu away, but now Teal'c has aimed his staff weapon at the group, O'Neill has his pistol pointed at them, and Carter is aiming an MP-5.]

[Another horse carrying a man comes over the rise. He shouts, then gallops the horse down the hill. As he approaches, the horsemen turn to look at him, their weapons forgotten. The man comes to a halt between the two groups. Abu runs up to place a hand on his saddle.]

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
My son. When you did not return, I feared you were dead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
I would be in a dog's stomach now, but for these.</blockquote>

[He points at SG-1. Moughal looks at the team; they have relaxed their stance and weapons. He looks to his men with disapproval.]

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
Is this any way to greet a stranger?</blockquote>

<blockquote>RAGA 
That one… 
(he points at Carter) 
…is a women.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Observant bunch.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
Father, they come from the Sea of Ogada; they do not know our ways.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
(grimly) 
Law is law. 
(to O'Neill) 
What manner of weapon is that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's a firearm. It shoots like your bow shoots an arrow.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
(Angrily) 
She speaks, she dies. Sut.</blockquote>

[Abu grabs at his father's horse, holding out his hand to stop the warriors.]

<blockquote>ABU 
No! No! She saved my life.</blockquote>

[Moughal stares at Carter, she stares back.]

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
A women…saved a life? Hers cannot be taken. Now, you're my guest. If you will travel this country, you must learn our ways.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(to her teammates) 
I'm thinking we should just go back while we're ahead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
If we learn their customs we'll be okay. It's an incredible opportunity to study an ancient culture up close.</blockquote>

'''EXT—MONGOL VILLAGE—DAY'''

[A colorful array of tents is set up in a clearing. Fires burn outside the tents. Llamas graze throughout the camp. SG-1 approaches the village, walking beside the horsemen. Abu walks with them.]

<blockquote>VILLAGER 
They return! They found Abu!</blockquote>

[A woman peers out of a tent. She spies Abu and smiles with relief. Abu waves to her. Hooking a veil over her face, so that only her eyes are showing, she runs from the tent to the approaching group.]

<blockquote>VILLAGERS 
Abu! Abu! Abu!</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
Mother.</blockquote>

[The woman hugs Abu. Several other women come out from behind curtains, approaching their visitors with curiosity. People cheer and laugh. A woman grabs Carter and leads her into a large tent. Daniel, O'Neill and Teal'c follow.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This is unbelievable. Uh, the Mongols who settled on the Persian China adapted to the local customs. But there was one tribe the Chagatai that kept the traditional life of the steppe-nomad. Maybe these Shavadai are their descendents. I mean…uh…this camp could literally belong to Genghis Khan. It's a living exhibit of a way of life that's been extinct for…nine hundred years.</blockquote>

[Moughal walks into the tent.]

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
Ah. Please sit.</blockquote>

[He hands his hat to his wife and smiles.]

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
Now we may talk.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh, good, 'cause I…I still don't understand what happened out there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
Among our people, it is death for a woman to show her face in public.</blockquote>

[Carter raises her eyebrows in disbelief.]

<blockquote>ABU 
Or to wear the clothes of a man.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
The old laws weigh heavily; it is well you saved Abu from the dogs. It gave me a way to prevent your death.</blockquote>

[Moughal settles on a large, throne-like chair. Abu settles at his feet.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh, thank you for that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
Soon, the old laws…ahh…the old ways will no longer serve us. Trade will one day replace war. This is the future. We have strongest, fastest horses and camels. The finest wool…</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
(looks at his father and raises a finger) 
And medicines. Drugs of unheard of power.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, we've got some pretty swell drugs of our own.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, uh, Colonel…a lot of breakthroughs in medicine are coming out of the mountains, and the…the jungles. We should really see what he's got.</blockquote>

[O'Neill nods.]

<blockquote>ABU 
I will show you. Follow me.</blockquote>

[Carter moves to follow Abu, but Moughal's words stop her.]

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
I'm afraid…you cannot go until you are properly attired.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(disbelieving) 
Properly attired?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, you should probably do what they want. Um, anthropologists do it all the time. They…dress and live as the people they're studying.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, I'm not an anthropologist.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(grinning) 
You are today.</blockquote>

[O'Neill laughs as he gets up, slapping Carter on the shoulder. Carter grimaces as she looks at that shoulder.]

[Teal'c, O'Neill and Daniel exit the tent, following Abu. Carter follows one of the women. She is brought to a small courtyard formed by the backs of several tents. Inside, women are working on various household chores, their faces uncovered. They all move to surround Carter, curious.]

'''EXT—VILLAGE—DAY'''

[Daniel, O'Neill and Teal'c look on as Abu speaks. He has a man sitting before them, his upper chest exposed. There is a healing wound just below his collarbone.]

<blockquote>ABU 
I used the medicine on this wound from a fire arrow, in a recent skirmish. The shoulder was badly burned. From the moment I began treatment, there was no pain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
This could be an anesthetic we haven't seen before.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We should take some back and test it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah.</blockquote>

'''EXT—VILLAGE—DAY'''

[Daniel, Teal'c and O'Neill follow Abu through the camp. He leads them into a tent. They stop, staring in astonishment.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Daniel, find me an anthropologist that dresses like this and I will eat this headdress.</blockquote>

[All three men look at Carter, who is standing before them in one a bright blue native dresses, and a beaded headdress with a white, silk veil hanging to the side. It looks more like an outfit for special occasions rather than for everyday wear. Daniel'S mouth drops open. O'Neill smirks. Teal'c just looks…appreciative.]

<blockquote>ABU 
You are…the most beautiful women I have ever seen.</blockquote>

[Carter stares at him, speechless. Abu blinks, his gaze turning thoughtful. He turns around and walks out.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(rolls her eyes) 
Uh, I guess the kid doesn't get out much. Look, uh,</blockquote>

[She picks up the veil.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I will not wear this thing over my face. I don't care how much embroidery it has on it. And this…dress, or whatever it's called, I mean…I can't move, I can't walk…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't know. 
(shakes his head, smirking) 
It…it kind of works for me. I, uh…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's, it's you, it's…</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Daniel exchange looks; in the background Teal'c looks from one to the other. O'Neill and Daniel turn to Carter and speak.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
…you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(a beat later) 
Definitely you.</blockquote>

[Carter looks like she wants to kick them both; she puts her hands on her hips and glares. O'Neill looks at Daniel and moves his finger in a circular motion.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(jumps) 
Uh, uh the good news is…uh you were right. One of Abu's plants seems to work as a…a…an anesthetic. We're taking some home to be, uh, uh, analyzed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All things considered…Samantha…if we have to come back here, it might be a better idea if we brought an all male team. No offence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, in view of the fact that you all get to go to this party tonight and I get to stay in this…yurt that smells like rancid yak butter, none taken. I'll just get a good night's sleep, and hope for better luck next time.</blockquote>

[The men look uneasily at her, then at each other. There's a strange sound from outside.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(whispers to Daniel) 
Let's go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(nods) 
Yeah.</blockquote>

[He puts his hand to his lips, mouthing the words to Carter.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Good night.</blockquote>

[Carter raises one hand in a half-hearted wave as O'Neill gestures toward the door flap. Daniel and Teal'c walk out. O'Neill is about to follow, but stops, smiling back.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You going to be all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Still doubting me? I haven't been afraid of the dark since I was two.</blockquote>

[O'Neill smiles, gesturing toward the dress.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You look great.</blockquote>

[Carter nods and O'Neill walks out, still smiling. Carter frowns, looking around the tent.]

'''EXT—VILLAGE—NIGHT'''

[The party is in full swing, with drums going and men hooting. The men sit or stand around a large fire. They're eating and drinking to the music.]

'''INT—YURT—NIGHT'''

[Carter is asleep in her yurt, still wearing the blue dress. Out of the dark, a hand shoots out and a knife is held to her throat. She wakes, reaching for her gun beside the bed, but one of her attackers steps on it.]

<blockquote>ATTACKER 
Quiet!</blockquote>

[Carter refuses to stop; there is a struggle. As one man holds the knife to her throat; another ties her hands and places a gag in her mouth. She's lifted over someone's shoulder and taken out of the tent.]

'''INT—YURT—MORNING'''

[Daniel paces outside Carter's tent.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Doctor, we're about ready to go.</blockquote>

[Daniel gives up on the pacing and walks into the tent, averting his eyes.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Doctor, we're about ready to…</blockquote>

[Daniel notices that Carter is gone, and registers the mess created in the struggle. Carter's gun is still there even though she is not.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
…go.</blockquote>

'''EXT—WOODS—DAY'''

[Carter is seated on a rock, struggling with her bonds. Abu pulls the veil away from her face, undoing the cloth tied over her mouth so that Carter can spit out the gag. She does so.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Angry) 
You better kill me now, because I am going to talk.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
Here. You may eat and drink.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What the hell do you think you're doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
There is something I want…more then life itself. Until yesterday, I thought it was impossible. And then I saw you, dressed like that. And I knew… 
(pleased) 
your beauty would buy it for me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What do you mean buy?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
I will trade you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(shocked) 
You…you can't do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
(matter-of-fact) 
I can.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm a human being, not property.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
Where we are going, the men are not as tolerant as my father. 
(shakes a finger at Carter) 
Be warned.</blockquote>

[Carter stares at him, pressing her lips together.]

'''INT—YURT—DAY'''

[Daniel is sitting in Carter's tent; he pushes a clip into his handgun. He looks worried. O'Neill walks in.]

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No. No one's seen her since last night.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, find Teal'c, I want everybody geared up and ready to move out in fifteen minutes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well…Okay, let me talk to Moughal first, this might be another misunderstanding—cultural differences.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
The hell with culture; a member of my team has been neutralized. That's a hostile act.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How is it that you always come up with the worst-case scenario?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I practice.</blockquote>

[Teal'c walks in, Moughal following him.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I found fresh hoof prints leading out of the camp.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's great.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The horse should be identifiable. One of the hooves was splayed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
The horse belongs to my son. He is also missing.</blockquote>

[Teal'c, O'Neill and Daniel all look at Moughal.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay, dad, what's going on here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
(uneasily) 
I am as ignorant as you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't think so. Now, he took Captain Carter. I want to know why.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
(sighs) 
Among the Shavadais, women are valued highly for trade. Foreign women, most of all.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Teal'c) 
Can you help me track them?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Now that I know what to look for, I believe so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to Moughal) 
If Abu gives her up peacefully, no one will get hurt. 
(to O'Neill) 
Right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We'll do our best.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
I will give you horses, and guide you myself. My son has betrayed me as well as you.</blockquote>

[Moughal walks out of the tent. SG-1 exchanges a grim look, and follow him.]

'''EXT—WOODS—DAY'''

[Carter is tied on a horse, Abu leading her on his horse. They approach another village. The village is not as colorful as Abu's home. The villagers dress differently, the animals roaming around the tent are cows. Carter's bright blue dress practically glows in amidst the grey and brown colors as Abu leads her to the center of the village. Men stare. The women in this village are covered with black veils over their dresses.]

[Abu dismounts as a tall man exits one of the tents. The man pulls out a knife, but Abu still approaches him, his head high.]

<blockquote>ABU 
Turghan may wish to bid me welcome. I have come to trade.</blockquote>

[Abu turns to look at Carter. Turghan looks too.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
(sneers) 
Then come, Shavadai.</blockquote>

[Turghan turns and enters his tent.]

'''INT—TURGHAN'S TENT—DAY'''

[Carter's hands are bound in front of her, the veil is over her face. Turghan is being dressed, assisted by two women.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
See the son of my enemy, how he pales in my presence. You risk your head coming here. For what? You think this interests me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
Yes.</blockquote>

[Reaching over, Abu pulls the veil from Carter's face, then pulls a gag away from her mouth.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't belong to this man. I was abducted against my will.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
(staring at Carter, but talking to Abu) 
Where is she from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
The sea of Ogada.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
My friends will come after me. They have weapons more powerful then you can imagine, and they won't hesitate…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
Silence!</blockquote>

[Carter stops talking, staring at him.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
Or I will have you beaten.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
You may do whatever you wish with her…when she is yours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
(smiles faintly) 
Then I would see her.</blockquote>

[Abu turns and pulls off Carter's headdress.]

<blockquote>ABU 
(demands softly) 
Turn around.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(not moving her lips) 
No.</blockquote>

[Turghan jumps to his feet, grabs a knife and holds it against Carter's throat.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
(menacingly) 
Slowly.</blockquote>

[He moves one finger in a circular motion. Carter glares at him, but slowly turns in a circle. Turghan keeps the knife at her throat. When she comes back around, she won't look at him.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
Your skin is very fair. Look at me!</blockquote>

[Carter glares at him.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
Her eyes…are the color of blue river stones.</blockquote>

[He pulls the knife away.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
Sit.</blockquote>

[Turghan returns to his chair. Abu puts a hand on Carter's shoulder, she jerks out of his grasp, staring into space. Abu sits, Carter stays standing.]

<blockquote>ABU 
Are you satisfied?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
Name your price.</blockquote>

[Carter looks down, her face stony. Light falls across the tent as the flap moves. A girl crosses to kneel by Turghan. Abu jumps up. The girl drops her veil. They stare at each other. Carter frowns, studying them.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
Why do you hesitate? Name it. Gold, horses, weapons. I have the finest metal craftsmen in the mountains.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
Well, what then?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
Nya.</blockquote>

[Everyone looks at the girl on the floor.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
You would trade a woman for another woman?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
Nya is not just another woman.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
No. She is my daughter.</blockquote>

[Turghan ignores Nya who is smiling at Abu.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
She will marry a chieftain. The desert warlord Chimakka.</blockquote>

[Carter frowns as Nya jumps up, putting a hand on her father's arm.]

<blockquote>NYA 
Father, please.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
It is done! Chimakka will come on the next moon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NYA 
That's three days.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How can you do that to your own daughter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
Your beauty will not soften my anger much longer. The offer for the woman is three hundred weights of gold.</blockquote>

[He snaps a pouch at Abu.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
Take it or die; either way the woman is mine.</blockquote>

[As Nya stares at Abu hopefully, he takes the pouch of gold.]

<blockquote>ABU 
Done.</blockquote>

[Abu looks away from Nya. He will not meet her eyes. He leaves the tent. Carter and Nya watch him go. Nya starts to cry. An another woman comes to her and hugs her. As Carter looks at Turghan, he backhands her.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
Here, a woman does not speak, unless she is spoken to.</blockquote>

[Carter stares at him, an unspoken challenge in her eyes.]

'''EXT—WOODS—DAY'''

[Teal'c kneels on the ground, examining the path.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They stopped here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
To rest the horses, and so must we. For two marks.</blockquote>

[During the stop, Moughal is eating, Daniel sitting beside him.]

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
If we do not find them, I will pay whatever you ask for the loss of Carter.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
We can't do that, we don't…own our women.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
Truly?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes. Um…</blockquote>

[He looks over at O'Neill and Teal'c, who are also eating.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And we heard…stories about Shavadai women…That once they were free. Some were even warriors, fought with their husband in battles. 
(to O'Neill) 
Um…Mongol women might have been the legendary Amazons…</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
Shhh, we do not speak of it. The laws for women were made to protect and hide them from the demons, who brought us to this place.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Demons?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
It is only in legend, and long time ago; the dawn of our time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If the demons are gone, why have not the laws been changed?</blockquote> <blockquote>MOUGHAL 
Some say they will return. I think it is an excuse for my men to have their way. Among the Shavadai, even the lowest man is chief among his women.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Is that why you only have one wife? To…set a kind of example?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
(looks sad) 
My people see it as a weakness.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Because you love her?</blockquote>

[Moughal turns quickly to look at Daniel, then slowly smiles. Daniel smiles back.]

'''EXT—TURGHAN'S CAMP—DAY'''

[Abu is hiding in the woods outside the camp. He sneaks up to the women's tent when no one is watching and looks inside. Abu whistles like a bird; Nya looks up and runs to the entrance.]

<blockquote>NYA 
My father will kill you.</blockquote>

[Abu reaches out to caress her face.]

<blockquote>ABU 
Come away with me. Tonight.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NYA 
You know I cannot, now go before they find you here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
I have listened to the wind, you will come. I will wait for you by the tem tree.</blockquote>

[Abu smiles, and caresses her face one more time, then jumps up and runs back to the woods. Nya stares after him.]

'''EXT—TURGHAN'S CAMP—DAY'''

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
Now you are Tugai, women of the forest. What can you do? Can you cook? Spin weave, make dyes?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm a lousy cook, and I couldn't spin weave or dye if my life depended on it. You made yourself a bad deal.</blockquote>

[Carter faces away from Turghan, who is reclining on the ground, eating fruit, his wives behind him.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
Well, where you come from, you must have done something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
In my world, I am a warrior and a scholar, I do the work of men.</blockquote>

[Turghan drops the fruit and jumps to his feet.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
A warrior. Let me tell you what I do. 
(leaning close to Carter) 
I raid and burn the tents of my enemies. I slaughter the men and trade the women and children. For this, I am feared. And because of that fear, I have the allegiance of twenty-two tribes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
But you have to sell your daughter off to make it twenty-three?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
(angry) 
How would you like to be hung upside down, with dust filled rags stuffed in your mouth and nostrils? A slow death from suffocation.</blockquote>

[They stare at each other for a moment. Carter turns her head and looks away.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm sorry, I'm sure you know what's best for her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
The spirits have brought you here to teach you how to be a woman.</blockquote>

[Carter doesn't look impressed. Turghan walks away. Carter blinks.]

'''EXT—TURGHAN'S WOMEN'S CAMP—LATER'''

[Carter is sitting by a fire, cutting up a large plate of food. Nya walks in with an arm full of cotton, she drops it in front of one of the women and, placing her hands over her face, starts to cry. All the women rush to comfort her, leading her into a tent.]

[With everyone gone Carter cleans the knife and hides it in her dress. She hooks the veil over her face and sneaks off to the horses. Carter jumps on one and gallops away, into the woods. One of the camp guards spots her and whistles. The horse rears up, Carter slides off, landing on the ground. Two guards rush out of the trees and grab her, pulling her to her feet.]

<blockquote>GUARD 
You belong to Turghan!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Get your hands off me, let me go!</blockquote>

[The guards pull her back toward the camp.]

'''INT—TURGHAN'S TENT—DAY'''

[Carter is once again bound, kneeling at Turghan's feet. The guard hands the knife she had hidden to Turghan.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
What kind of woman are you? Do you respect nothing? Care for no one but yourself?</blockquote>

[He looks at the women standing around him.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
These were responsible for you, now because of you, they will be punished.</blockquote>

[One of the women hands Turghan a whip. He shakes is out as she turns around and kneels. Turghan rips the woman's dress down. He's pulls back his arm, ready to hit her with the whip, when Carter jumps up and shouts.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
No! It was my fault. If you need to beat a woman to feel like a man, try me.</blockquote>

[Turghan stops and stares at her.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
I value spirit in my horses, not my women.</blockquote>

[Turghan yanks off Carter's headdress and grabs her hair. Pulling her head back, he kisses her violently.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
You belong to me. You will learn your place, and be obedient. Or you will suffer far worse then a beating.</blockquote>

'''EXT—TURGHAN'S WOMEN'S CAMP—DAY'''

[Carter is pulling grapes off the stem, and dropping them into a basket. The blue dress is nowhere in sight; she is clad in the everyday clothing of Turghan's camp.]

<blockquote>NYA 
I heard what you did for my mother.</blockquote>

[Carter acknowledges her words with a nod.]

<blockquote>NYA 
I am grateful.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NYA 
We are all afraid. If you do not obey, my father will kill you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NYA 
My father is a good man; he never mistreats a woman unless she has done something wrong.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Unless…</blockquote>

[Carter sputters wordlessly.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
There is no excuse to beat a woman, ever.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NYA 
He is a powerful warlord! Our women and our children are always protected, always have food.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
How can you defend him? He's packing you off to marry a total stranger.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NYA 
I have no choice. I am not free to choose.</blockquote>

[She looks down sadly.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
And you never will be until one of you says no.</blockquote>

[Nya searches Carter's face. They stay quiet as one of the other women approaches the fire. After she leaves, Nya turns to Carter.]

<blockquote>NYA 
I want to say it. Will you help me?</blockquote>

[Carter smiles and holds out her hand. Nya takes it. They hold onto each other tightly.]

'''EXT—WOODS OUTSIDE TURGHAN'S VILLAGE—DAY'''

[Teal'c, O'Neill, Daniel and Moughal lurk in the woods, watching the village.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(pointing at the village) 
The tracks lead directly there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Who owns the place?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
An enemy. A man who kills for pleasure. This is very bad.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well then, we will go and get her tonight.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
If we attack, there will be war. And Turghan is allied with twenty-two clans. When he fights, he\takes no prisoners.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You mean they'd kill all of you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
Yes. If you will wait until morning, I will go, and request a trade. He cannot refuse.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
But what will happen to Dr. Carter tonight if we wait?</blockquote>

[Moughal looks away.]

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
Turghan will partake in his newest purchase.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, there's not a chance in hell.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
In our land, if a man wants a woman, she can say no.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
No one refuses Turghan, and lives.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Then we go now.</blockquote>

[They rise to their feet and head down into the village.]

<blockquote>MAN 
Stop!</blockquote>

[Carter and Nya look at each other. Carter goes to the cloth wall and peeks between the hangings. She sees Moughal and her teammates.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(grinning) 
Yes!</blockquote>

<blockquote>MAN 
(outside) 
You don't have the right!</blockquote>

[With Nya watching, Carter takes a small branch out of the fire and carries it to one side of the enclosure. Setting it on the straw, she watches as it sets first the straw, then the hangings separating their enclosure from the main village on fire. Everyone begins to yell as the cloth is engulfed. There are indistinguishable shouts as men from all over the camp run over to yank the burning fabric down and put the fire out.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(pushing Nya) 
Go. Go Nya, go.</blockquote>

[Nya rushes out and runs for the woods.]

'''INT—TURGHAN'S TENT—DAY'''

[Turghan is pacing before his newest guests.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
I paid three hundred weights of gold.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to Moughal) 
Is that a lot?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
(whispers) 
Enough to buy ten women.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Moughal) 
How much are you willing to spend to get her back?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
We will offer three hundred and fifty weights of gold.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
Enh. She is difficult. But beautiful. A rare prize.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(whispers) 
Four hundred.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
Four hundred.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
I may even make her a wife.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh for crying out loud, five hundred!</blockquote>

[Moughal looks, aghast, at O'Neill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We'll pay you back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
Why this one? I have others younger, fit to bear many sons; enough to start your own tribe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
She is a woman of power for our people. Not only a warrior but a…a shaman, she knows the spirits of our land. They will tell her when it's time to plant grain, when water will be scarce…things like that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
You take me for a fool?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
He speaks truly. In the land of Ogada, the women are…as ours were long ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That and more! Carter is our chieftain. Our people need her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
Get out. You have nothing I want.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh yeah?</blockquote>

[O'Neill pulls out and fires his pistol, shooting a piece of fruit from a hanging bowl. Turghan and his wife jump with surprise. O'Neill holds up the gun. Turghan pulls out his knife and approaches O'Neill. They stare at each other. O'Neill smiles and looks down at the gun; Turghan looks at it too. O'Neill nods]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
Done.</blockquote>

'''EXT—TURGHAN'S VILLAGE—DAY'''

[Turghan is standing in a circle made up of his people. He shoots his gun in the air. The people yelp and cower, covering their ears. Turghan cheers and his men join him in a ragged chorus.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, there are only five more rounds in that clip, time to go.</blockquote>

[SG-1 and Moughal ride off on their horses, Carter last in line, her hands bound to the horse's saddle. The villagers are still cheering as they leave.]

'''EXT—WOODS—NIGHT'''

[Carter is back in her SGC uniform, smiling and happy.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What a relief. I have never been so happy to see you guys.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, sure you have! Remember that time on P3X-595?</blockquote>

[Carter starts to lose her smile.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You drank that stuff that made you take off…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Ahem. We won't get into that now.</blockquote>

[Daniel looks at O'Neill, who smirks and looks away.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Moughal, I want to thank you for your help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
(looking sober) 
We'll leave at first light.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't blame you for what Abu did. I don't blame him either, now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
He is suffering the madness, as I did when I was young.</blockquote>

[Carter frowns in confusion.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's what they call love.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Ah, got it.</blockquote>

[Moughal stares into the fire.]

'''EXT—SG-1 CAMP—EARLY MORNING'''

[Teal'c is on guard while everyone else sleeps. Hoofbeats sound, approaching the camp. Everyone is up in an instant, weapons ready. Abu rides in.]

<blockquote>ABU 
Please, you must help me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What happened? Where's Nya?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
She came to me, just like the wind said she would. But before we could make our way, her father caught us. Now, if you do not help me, she will be stoned to death.</blockquote>

[Everyone looks at him, horrified.]

<blockquote>ABU 
Curse me for the madness. Better to have left her to marry Chimakka.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
I would not see anything I cared for go to Chimakka.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Can I get a little clarification here? Her own father ordered her stoned to death…is that right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
Because she broke the law of the land.</blockquote> <blockquote>MOUGHAL 
Turghan is compelled to uphold the law, even more if it applies to his own. He must rule by example.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We have to go back, now!</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
She can't be more than sixteen or seventeen!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Captain, if we go in there and try and get that little girl out, we could be starting a war on this planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Since when are you a politician, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Easy, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
"De Opresso Liber." To free from oppression, Special Forces motto.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know what it is. That's our world, this is theirs.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Do we have the right to interfere with their customs or…reinterpret their laws?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes! Maybe you guy aren't getting this, but they're about to kill this teenage girl. Simply for being in love with this boy!</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
Please, use your weapons, and free her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
The Colonel is right. It would mean war, Abu. My son, you must…choose, between one woman, and your people.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
I cannot.</blockquote>

[Moughal hugs Abu, his face troubled.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Neither can I. Nya broke the law because of me. I can't leave her here to die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
But if it is one life, or many…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Wait. Now there has to be another way. Moughal, what about the old laws? Isn't there something that we can…</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
Yes. Yes, if we fight with law, Turghan cannot make war. Father, please, think, remember…there must be a law.</blockquote>

[Moughal concentrates, staring into space.]

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
There is one.</blockquote>

'''EXT—TURGHAN'S VILLAGE—DAY'''

[Turghan's men stand in the center of the village with stones in their hands. A sobbing Nya is forced to sit against a pole. Turghan stares at the ground, his face expressionless. Nya looks from one man to another. No one has any expression, they simply stare at her.]

<blockquote>NYA 
Father, forgive me.</blockquote>

[Turghan approaches Nya, and kneels. He puts one hand on her shoulder, then cups the back of her head and whispers in her ear.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
I forgive you.</blockquote>

[Nya closes her eyes. Turghan rises. Nya watches him. He turns to Nya's mother, sobbing in another woman's arms. His face twists.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
Stone her!</blockquote>

[The women cry out. The men raise their hands to throw the stones. Nya looks frightened, and turns her head away.]

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
Do not!</blockquote>

[As Moughal walks into the village, the men drop their stones and pull out swords.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
You have no say here, Shavadai.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
Stoning may be challenged.</blockquote>

[Nya looks up as Abu walks from behind his father.]

<blockquote>ABU 
By another chieftain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
There is no such law.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
There is. In the song of Arkhan-tyr. The sprits will strengthen the hand of the just.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
I will not fight a cripple.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
You must.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
You insult my honor by implying that I would engage in such a slaughter. You will lose and my daughter will still die. So unless there is another chieftain who will challenge my decision…</blockquote>

[Carter pulls off her helmet and steps around Abu.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I challenge it.</blockquote>

[The village women exchange a hopeful glance. O'Neill looks unsurprised.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
You? You plague me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Then fight. Here's your chance to shut me up once and for all.</blockquote>

[Turghan looks at Moughal, who smiles encouragingly.]

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
I will abide by the wisdom of the spirits. Let them decide justly.</blockquote>

[Carter nods.]

'''EXT—TURGHAN'S VILLAGE—DAY'''

[Carter is taking off her guns, and handing them to O'Neill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So when your back's up against the wall, and there's no tomorrow, just take one day at a time, and remember the bigger they are…et cetera.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You don't think I can win.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sure I do. I assume you have at least some basic hand-to-hand training.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, level three, advanced.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(pats her on the back) 
You'll do fine.</blockquote>

[Carter rolls her eyes and approaches Turghan, who's waiting. She raises her hands in a boxing stance.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Moughal) 
So, just out of curiosity, how do the sprits determine who wins?</blockquote>

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
It is a fight to the death.</blockquote>

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

[Turghan pulls out a large curved blade. It catches the light, glinting. Carter looks astonished.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, no one said anything about…</blockquote>

[Turgan's men suddenly whip out a variety of knives, holding them against O'Neill, Daniel, Teal'c and Moughal's throats.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
…knives.</blockquote>

[Carter pulls an eight-inch blade from a sheath on her thigh and holds it up.]

[Carter and Turghan fight. Both are quick and agile. Carter gets first blood, slicing Turghan across his ribs. His people are astonished. Turghan attacks with increased fury. They battle back and forth. Turghan hits Carter, who falls to the ground. He chops his knife down at her, but she avoids the blow, kicks him and regains her feet. Using her level three, advanced, skills, she disarms Turghan and gets him down on the ground, her knife to his throat. Nya, her hands still tied behind her back, runs up.]

<blockquote>NYA 
Carter, do not kill him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't want to.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NYA 
You have won. I am free to go with Abu.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(to Turghan) 
I want to hear it from you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
(grudgingly) 
She's free to go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And the Shavadai?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
By law, there can be no war between us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And me?</blockquote>

[Turghan doesn't say anything. Carter presses the knife harder.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
And me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TURGHAN 
You have won. You are also free to go.</blockquote>

[Carter pulls the knife away and stands. She turns to face her CO. O'Neill pushes the knife away from his throat and smiles.]

'''EXT—MOUGHAL'S VILLAGE—DAY'''

[Carter, O'Neill, Teal'c and Daniel are standing with Moughal, Abu, Nya and Abu's mother.]

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
You will not stay for the wedding?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ahh, a six day wedding. You know, we really should get back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABU 
It is a joyous time!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
But we all wish you and Nya many years of happiness, and many sons too.</blockquote>

[Carter pokes Daniel in the ribs with her elbow.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And daughters!</blockquote>

[Carter smiles. Abu and Nya smile at each other. Moughal smiles and nods.]

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
All Shavadai, be free!</blockquote>

[There is cheering and clapping, and the cloth barrier separating the women from the rest of the village comes down. For the first time, the women stand in public without veils. They look very happy.]

<blockquote>MOUGHAL 
It is how you will be remembered, Carter.</blockquote>

[As her teammates look at her, Carter grins. Their arms wrapped around each other, Abu and Nya watch the team turn and leave.]

'''EXT—PLANET—DAY'''

[The team approaches the Stargate.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
So you think this new anesthesia will be a new miracle drug on Earth?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well if it is, I bet somebody else will get the credit. We can never say where it came from.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Damn. Guess I'm going to have to cancel that Oprah interview.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What is an Oprah?</blockquote>

'''TEASER'''

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Hammond, O'Neill, Kawalsky, Daniel and Carter are standing in front of a map of planets.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Gentlemen, these planets designated P3-575 and P3A-577 have been submitted by Captain Carter's team as possible destinations for your next mission. SG units one and two will operate concurrently.</blockquote>

[O'Neill turns to Kawalsky.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You know, I'm kind of partial to P3-575 if you don't mind taking P3A-577.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
No I'll take 577.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm not married to it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
No, no it's…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I want to be fair about it. How about we flip for it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How about you go where I tell you. As far as I'm concerned…</blockquote>

[Alarms go off as the Stargate starts to activate.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Inbound traveler! Repeat. Inbound traveler!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Damn, those Goa'uld's are persistent.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I think we pissed them off.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Closing the iris.</blockquote>

[Soldiers run to stand before the Stargate, weapons ready. The computer screen flashes "Warning. Unrecognized traveler."]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Alert! All defense teams stand by. 
(turns to Davis) 
Set the base auto destruct countdown at three minutes.</blockquote>

[Davis does so. The seventh chevron locks. There is the sound of a wormhole engaging, but the iris remains in place. There are several thuds. Carter flinches.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
We're not going anywhere as long as the Goa'uld keep up these attacks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They can't keep them up forever…Can they?</blockquote>

[More thuds are heard, impacting against the iris.]

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, once they realize our Gate's impenetrable they should just give up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Part of me just wants to let 'em through. Give 'em the fight they're looking for.</blockquote>

[There's on last thud, and the Stargate shuts down.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Radiation team, move in.</blockquote>

[Two technicians scan the iris with radiation-detecting equipment.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, there've got to be worse ways to go, I suppose.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You don't think the Goa'uld's are sending people through, do you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Be like bugs on a windshield.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Team reports all clear, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
All right, stand down from alert and abort the countdown.</blockquote>

[The soldiers relax. Kawalsky rubs the back of his neck and groans. O'Neill notices.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Kawalsky. What's the matter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Headache. Took a fistful of aspirin but nothing helps.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get down to the infirmary. Get it checked out. Go on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Sir, I think I'll do that. 
(Turns to Hammond) 
Sir, with your permission?</blockquote>

[Kawalsky salutes Hammond, Hammond salutes back.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
By all means Major. I need you to lead your team to P3-575.</blockquote>

[Kawalsky leaves, deliberately brushing against O'Neill as he passes. O'Neill smirks. The Stargate starts to turn again.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Inbound traveler! Inbound traveler!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Reset the countdown. Here we go again. All defense teams remain in position.</blockquote>

[Once again, the soldiers get ready as the Stargate activates.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to Carter) 
So this iris is going to hold right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Pure titanium. Less than three micrometers from the event horizon. It won't even allow matter to fully reintegrate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Carter) 
So this iris is going to hold, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
If it doesn't, the failsafe device will detonate, this whole mountain will vaporized and there'll be nothing to worry about.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah. Good, I feel much better.</blockquote>

'''END TEASER'''

'''OPENING CREDITS'''

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

'''INT—SGC HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Come.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks in.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I can understand how Kawalsky feels. This job gives me a headache too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Uh-huh. What's the bad news General?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Not much for small talk are you, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How was your weekend? Get any fishing in?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm rejecting your request to have Teal'c join SG-1. Wasn't my choice. A Colonel Kennedy is en route from the Pentagon right now. He'll be asking your friend some questions.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What kind of questions?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What we're up against. Troop strength, technology, weaponry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'd like to know the answers to those questions too, sir. But after they're done asking them…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
There'll be more questions. Possible tests. After all he's carrying the larval form of a hostile, a very formidable enemy, inside his body.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(suspiciously) 
What kind of tests are we talking about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Maybe you haven't noticed, Colonel. But he's the first alien species we've actually run into. You don't think that qualifies your friend as a subject of scientific interest?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
A subject?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
He is what he is, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
With all due respect Sir, I don't think he saved the lives of my team or came over to our side so he could become a damn guinea pig for US military intelligence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Back up, Colonel. He switched sides once. Are you 100% positive he won't switch back?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(firmly) 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well you are alone in that assertion. Colonel Kennedy arrives within the hour. I promise Teal'c will be treated with dignity and respect for as long as he remains a guest of this facility. Beyond that, I can't promise a damn thing. Dismissed, Colonel.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks unhappy, but he turns and leaves.]

'''INT—SGC TEAL'C'S QUARTERS'''

[O'Neill enters. Teal'c is meditating.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey. Am I interrupting anything?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why don't I come back?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The people from Chulak?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We sent the last of them through the Gate just before the Goa'uld started knocking at the door.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(nods) 
Thanks to you. So how long do you think they'll keep it up?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
One, perhaps two more attempts. They will believe their weapons have destroyed you. They will not send warriors through for some time to make sure of your destruction.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well they'll be in for a surprise, huh?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Your iris will be closed. They will be crushed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(shrugs) 
Surprise.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Am I a prisoner?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ahh, yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I understand.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're not exactly living up to your expectations of us, are we?</blockquote>

[O'Neill pulls out a chair, and sits as he's talking.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You see, Teal'c, we've been living alone in our little corner of the galaxy for awhile and I think…The people I work for just need to get to know you a little better. I mean, your knowledge of the Goa'ulds alone makes them a little curious.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I will give that knowledge freely.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, I know you will, and we'll put it to good use.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I will pledge my allegiance to this world.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm just not sure that's ever going to be enough for them to trust you. To be honest with you, I think they're scared of you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Looks away) 
I understand.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Studying Teal'c) 
You must be used to that by now, huh?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am a Jaffa. I have served as a warrior for your enemy. I have carried your enemy within me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah. Well, it's kind of a human thing. We tend to be afraid of things we don't know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Why is O'Neill not afraid?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, I saw you stand up to a God. You refused to kill. I saw you make that decision.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
In that moment I learned everything I needed to know to trust you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If I had killed you then, I would not be here now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Stands) 
Neither would I.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I will prove my allegiance, O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, I sure wish you didn't have to.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
When I do…You will show me this world?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh you bet. 
(claps Teal'c on the shoulder) 
Just not all at once though. 
(Knocks on door.) 
It's big.</blockquote>

[A guard opens the door. O'Neill leaves. Teal'c looks reflective for a moment, then goes back to meditating.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Doctor Nimzicki is shining a light into Kawalsky's eye.]

<blockquote>DOCTOR NIMZICKI 
And these headaches, Major…They started when you came back from your last mission?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Yeah. And they've been getting worse.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DOCTOR NIMZICKI 
Anybody else on the team experience these symptoms?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
No. Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DOCTOR NIMZICKI 
It could be a reaction to Gate travel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Look Doc, just give me a horse pill for the pain, or something. It's a damn headache.</blockquote>

[Doctor Nimzicki touches a lump at the back of Kawalsky's neck. He looks worried as he examines it.]

<blockquote>DOCTOR NIMZICKI 
What's this? You didn't notice this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
What? Notice what?</blockquote>

[The lump suddenly moves and we can see it move up Kawalsky's spine and into his brain. It's a goa'uld.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Ahh…ahh…arrghhhh!</blockquote>

[Kawalsky's eyes glow and he grabs Doctor Nimzicki by the throat.]

<blockquote>DOCTOR NIMZICKI 
Major!</blockquote>

[Kawalsky twists his wrist and snaps the doctor's neck.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Carter and Daniel are leading a briefing about the DHD.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So the device should be on every planet we find. I studied the one on Abydos for months. It's sort of like a…a…a…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Telephone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Telephone. 
(Smiles at Carter) 
I like that. In order to get back home all you have to do is…dial Earth. Which is uh…</blockquote>

[Daniel is distracted by something.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Which is what we're here to talk about so…</blockquote>

[As he's talking, he walks to the observation window overlooking the Gate Room.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What is Major Kawalsky doing in the Embarkation Room?</blockquote>

[Carter moves beside Daniel; both look down out of the window and see Kawalsky standing on the ramp with his arms outstretched.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Page Colonel O'Neill and General Hammond to the Embarkation Room, now!</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Yes, Ma'am!</blockquote>

[Daniel and Carter leave to go to the Gate room.]

'''INT—SGC GATEROOM'''

[Kawalsky is standing on the ramp. O'Neill and Hammond enter the room. Daniel and Carter are already standing behind Kawalsky.]

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Major Kawalsky?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(Looks around, confused) 
Jack?</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks up to him.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
What am I doing here?</blockquote>

[Kawalsky and O'Neill stare at each other.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Kawalsky is sitting on a bed while O'Neill goes to find a doctor.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, we got to a sick man here! 
(To himself) 
Where the hell is he? 
(To Kawalsky) 
Was the doctor here before?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
I don't remember.</blockquote>

[Doctor Warner enters.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
Sorry, Dr Nimzicki was supposed to be on call.</blockquote>

[He holds out a hand. Kawalsky shakes it.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
Dr Warner, Chief Surgeon. What's the problem?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Headache.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Little more than a headache, Doc. Just had a blackout.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
Hmm. We'll do an MRI right away. See what's going on in there.</blockquote>

[Warner and O'Neill walk out.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Take care of him, Doc. We need him.</blockquote>

'''INT—HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

[Hammond, Kennedy and a female officer leave the office and enter the Briefing Room.]

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Thank you.</blockquote>

[Teal'c enters, escorted by two guards.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Welcome, Teal'c. This is Colonel Kennedy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
I'm extraordinarily pleased to meet you, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel Kennedy's job is to gather information…uh, knowledge, about our potential enemies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I offer my knowledge of the Goa'ulds. I offer my skills as a warrior in defeating them. I pledge my honor and my life to this world.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Well, thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This is just an informal meeting, son. Take a seat.</blockquote>

[Teal'c sits. The soldiers flanking him remain on guard.]

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
I have a lot of questions to ask so if there are no objections. What can you tell us about the power source the Goa'uld use to power their weapons? Ships?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Nothing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
I see. Do you, yourself, have an understanding of the physics behind the Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
I see.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Knowledge of Goa'uld magic is forbidden.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks up the stairs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's not magic, Teal'c. They just want you to think that. Permission to barge in, Sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Colonel O'Neill. I was hoping to meet you. Your mission report from Chulak made for the most engrossing analysis of my career.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well thanks. What was your favorite part?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(frowning) 
Perhaps now is not the time, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, you know what I went and did? I told Teal'c how we all respect a person's rights in this country.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
I assure you, there is nothing untoward taking place here, Colonel. Please, join us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you. 
(waves) 
Hey Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's Teal'c with an apostrophe. T—E—A—L—apostrophe—C.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel. 
(sighs)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Very well, Teal'c. What can you tell me about the Goa'ulds?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They rule by force. Their numbers were very few but they are growing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
How many worlds do they control?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Many hundreds. Perhaps more.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
And should we expect to encounter these Goa'ulds everywhere we go?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(whispers to Hammond) 
We?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is possible. But there are many more worlds the Goa'ulds have no use for. On those worlds the people are abandoned, and left to fend for themselves.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Is there a leadership or government with which we could negotiate a peace?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Some, like Apophis, are great kings and rule over many worlds as their gods. But they have no need for peace. If they could kill you, they would.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Could they? They have space craft, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Yes. Without a Stargate, such a journey would take many months; perhaps even years. It would take many vessels; many slave armies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're not that much of a nuisance, just yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
These slaves, where do they come from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
There is a tale of a primitive world the Goa'uld discovered millennia ago. The Tau'ri. The First World where forms of this type evolved. It is said the Goa'uld harvested among the primitives, some became Goa'uld hosts, others became Jaffa; the rest were taken as slaves and seeded among the stars to serve them. But that world has been lost for centuries.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Teal'c, beings of this form evolved here, on Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Looks around surprised) 
This world?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Is the world you're talking about Teal'c. Ra came here. If our ancestors hadn't rebelled and buried the Stargate…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You would not have become strong enough to challenge them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Then the galaxy is populated by the ancient people of Earth?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
There could be millions by now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Then you are their greatest hope. And mine.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks reflective.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Kawalsky enters the MRI chamber. In the Observation Room, Doctor Warner is typing on a computer.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

[Daniel and Carter come out of an elevator.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm going to drop by the Control room. By the silence around here, it seems like the Goa'ulds have finally given up.</blockquote>

[Daniel rubs his eyes. Carter looks at him.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
When was the last time you slept?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I don't know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Doesn't help when the whole base goes on alert every two hours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No it's not that, it's just that…My mind races and I can't stop thinking about Sha're, where she is, what she's become…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I know. But you can't stay awake forever.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I can try.</blockquote>

[He lifts a cup of coffee and forces a laugh. Off Carter's look.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, you're right, I'll meet you at the next briefing.</blockquote>

[Carter slaps him on the back and leaves. Daniel enters one of the bunkrooms. The room is dark. He puts his coffee down and sits on the bottom bunk. An arm falls from the top bunk; blood is dripping off the fingers. Daniel switches on the light and finds Doctor Nimzicki, dead on the upper bunk.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Doctor Warner is looking at the MRI and sees a snake-like creature wrapped around Kawalsky's brain stem and spine. He frowns.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
All right.</blockquote>

[Warner walks over to Kawalsky.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
Major Kawalsky? We're all done here but I'm taking you off active duty as of now.</blockquote>

[Kawalsky sits up, but doesn't say anything.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
Major?</blockquote>

[Kawalsky turns to Warner, his eyes glowing. Warner stumbles backward and hits the alarm. A warning horn sounds.]

<blockquote>LOUDSPEAKER 
Security, to the Infirmary. Security, to the Infirmary. Set—condition Red. Set—condition red.</blockquote>

[Kawalsky walks out through the corridors, past the guards rushing toward the Infirmary. He enters the control room, punching and knocking down three technicians. At the computer, he starts punching in the commands to dial the Stargate.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(walking in) 
Kawalsky, what the hell are you doing?</blockquote>

[Kawalsky pushes her across the room. Carter falls, but gets up and heads for the microphone.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Close the blast doors. 
(Over the loudspeaker) 
Emergency in the Control Room! Emergency in the Control Room!</blockquote>

[Kawalsky grabs her and pulls her away, one hand over her mouth. Carter fights him.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(in a Goa'uld voice) 
Help me!</blockquote>

[Carter's eyes open wide in fear.]

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

[Kawalsky whirls around to O'Neill. He backs away holding Carter. O'Neill follows them as several airmen rush to the scene.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Shouts) 
Don't shoot!</blockquote>

[He moves after the pair, pushing an airman's gun barrel down.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Don't shoot, don't shoot.</blockquote>

[Kawalsky pulls Carter into an elevator and pushes one of the buttons. O'Neill gets there just as the doors close. He runs for the stairs.]

'''INT—SGC ELEVATOR'''

[Kawalsky pushes Carter away from him.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
You know they won't let you out of this mountain alive? When those doors open, they'll shoot on sight; you know that!</blockquote>

[Carter eyes the phone and tries to grab it. Kawalsky grabs her and throws her backward. She hits the wall hard, then slides down into a heap. Kawalsky stares at the elevator doors, expressionless.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR OUTSIDE ELEVATOR'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What the…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Someone inside the elevator hit the emergency stop.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Get those doors open!</blockquote>

[O'Neill arrives.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get 'em open.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(in a normal voice) 
Well, it's about time. Gimme a hand here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Charlie, what the hell's going on?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
I don't have a clue, Colonel, but she's hurt bad. We have to get her to the infirmary.</blockquote>

[O'Neill stares at him.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Warner is showing Kawalsky's MRI results on the computer. He points to the image.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
The parasite's wrapped around his spine.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Hammond share a worried look. Kawalsky is strapped to a rotating platform on a huge wheel. The platform rotates ninety degrees, so that Kawalsky moves from a flat position to a standing one. O'Neill and Daniel cross from opposite sides of the room to stand in front him. Only Kawalsky's face shows through the platform.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's a…It's a Goa'uld. Probably an infant.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They think that the reason it hasn't been able to take you over completely is it's not mature yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's what's causing your blackouts.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
What are you saying? I got one of those parasites in me? Well how in the hell does that happen?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We were kinda hoping you could tell us. You didn't feel it happening?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(scoffs) 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
When was the first time you blacked out?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
I was here. We'd just come back through from Chulak. I thought it was just from coming back through the Stargate. We were helping that kid, Casey was his name. It was a sharp…Oh god Jack. I thought I wrenched my neck.</blockquote>

[O'Neill winces and looks down.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Anyway, Casey, he was all right, they took him out of there.</blockquote>

[He looks at O'Neill, tears in his eyes.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Oh god, Jack, you got to help me. You got to get this thing out of me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(somberly) 
That's the plan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
(to Hammond) 
I've taken Major Kawalsky off all pain medication to increase his alertness. It should increase his ability to resist.</blockquote>

[On the other side of the room, Hammond and Doctor Warner confer.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
When can you remove it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
It would be an extremely complex operation. The parasite has literally woven itself around his nervous system.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(brusquely) 
Can it be done or not?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
Without killing him, possibly. Without making him a quadriplegic, that's a whole different story.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You just tell me who you need to assist. Anyone in the world. I'll have them here within 24 hours.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
When I was out, did I hurt anybody?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There's one man dead. A few more hurt.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(Closes eyes) 
Oh…God…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Captain Carter's going to be all right. I was just going to go check on her actually.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Oh I didn't mean to…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Hastily) 
No, she doesn't blame you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You're not responsible Charlie. It's not your fault. It's that damn thing that's inside you. Look, as soon as they know how to do it, they'll cut it out of you. Right now, you got to fight it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
I don't mind telling you; this is scaring me big time.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks worried.]

'''INT—SGC TEAL'C'S QUARTERS'''

[Kennedy, Hammond and O'Neill walk in.]

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Teal'c, stand and face this way please.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Standing) 
What is the emergency? They would not tell me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
That's none of your concern now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Glares at Kennedy) 
Kawalsky's become infected with a Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
And you wish to see if I still carry the Goa'uld within me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Yes. Now, please.</blockquote>

[Teal'c unzips his flight suit. The larva pokes out of his pouch.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
God, I hate those things. Have you seen enough?</blockquote>

[The larva goes back in.]

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
You understand we had to look and see?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What are its demands?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So far it's only managed to rear its butt-ugly head whenever Kawalsky blacks out. But it's already killed a man.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Then there will be a struggle for the host body. It must have sought a host in desperation before it was mature.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We intend to remove it before that happens.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It will kill the host if you try. Once it is one with the host, it is capable of killing him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So…what do we do?</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Kawalsky is struggling on the bed. Hammond, Teal'c and O'Neill walk in.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Charlie, we got General Hammond for you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(Painfully) 
General, please. You got to tell them to do something. The pain is too much.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We are, Major. You just have to hold on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(Getting pissed) 
No. Don't you give me that good soldier crap, General. You order them to cut this damn thing out of me!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c says if they do that, you might die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
I don't care!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Look Charlie. They want to talk to it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
What? What the hell is there to talk about?!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We must offer it life to save yours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
No. No! I want you to kill it!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We must talk to the Goa'uld within you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Jack, please help me, Jack!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Charlie, just let them do their job will ya?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
No! Don't let them do this, Jack! I want you to kill it! Kill it, Jack, kill it.</blockquote>

[The monitors start to speed up.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
His heart rate just doubled.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Kill it! Kill it! Kill it! Kill it! Kill it!</blockquote>

[Kawalsky suddenly collapses. The monitors increase in tempo. There's a beep, then everything evens out on the monitors. Kawalsky rears up, but it's not him talking.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
Nemes Kree! I won't speak to the traitor. You are their leader?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I am.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
Speak.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm General George Hammond of the United States Air Force. Commander-in-Chief of the SGC. And you are?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
Interested only in returning through the Stargate. Now!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You are in no position to make demands. I have a proposition.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
Release me now or I will destroy you!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
If you leave this man's body, we will allow you to live and send you back through the Stargate in your natural form.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
This body is mine!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
If you are unwilling to leave, we will be forced to surgically…</blockquote>

[Kawalsky pulls back, and rips his arm out of the restraint. He starts trying to get off the bed. Teal'c, O'Neill, and Doctor Warner grab him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c! Hold him!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
Release me now or I will destroy you!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Do not attempt to escape!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
I command you!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We will open fire! Colonel, stand aside!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
Release me now!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Take aim!</blockquote>

[Kawalsky looks up.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Don't shoot!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Hold your fire!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Oh, oh God!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It's all right, son. I won't put you through that again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(Crying) 
Oh Jack, what did I do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Uh, nothing, you just got a little mouthy. Nothing serious.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Dr Warner? I want to know the minute that godforsaken thing can be taken out if my officer. Is that clear?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
Yes sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This conversation is over.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[O'Neill, Carter, Teal'c, Daniel, Warner and Kennedy are already seated. Hammond walks in and they rise.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
As you were people. In light of the day's events, Colonel Kennedy has chosen to make certain recommendations to my superiors that I want to share with all of you. Colonel Kennedy?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
I know that many of you have served with Major Kawalsky so please forgive me if what I am about to suggest appears in any way…callous. But I believe surgical removal of the parasite may be a mistake.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, this is a waste of time Kawalsky does not have.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Dr Warner, what are Major Kawalsky's chances of surviving the procedure?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
Ten…twelve percent at most.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
And the parasite? It is an intelligent being after all, isn't it Colonel? I believe I first read that in your report.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
The parasite itself would not survive the procedure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
So, we're faced with destroying one life in the hopeless attempt to save another. You see the ethical dilemma?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, I don't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
My team and I are completely prepared to perform the procedure, sir. We'll do our best.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Of course you will Doctor. Please don't misunderstand. We all wish the invading parasite in Major Kawalsky's body could be safely removed. But the facts are the facts.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm sorry, what was your point?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
If we proceed with this operation, Major Kawalsky will have died in vain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And if we don't?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Well let's consider that for a moment. These infant Goa'uld's; if they're so young, so fragile in their larval state that they require a, uh…a, uh…I'm sorry what was it you called yourself?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
For want of a better translation; what? Incubator? How is it they're so intelligent?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
A Goa'uld is born with all the knowledge of all Goa'uld's that came before it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Genetic memory. That's amazing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Yes it is. All the knowledge of the Goa'ulds. I just want you all to think on that before we just throw it away.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I've thought about it. 
(To Carter, who nods) 
You thought about it? I think we've all thought about it. Yeah. 
(looks around the table) 
Any more thinking to be done?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Imagine if we could convince that Goa'uld to share that knowledge.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
A Goa'uld would not willingly share.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Teal'c is right. To them, we're nothing. Less than nothing, I mean…think about it; they've taken on the roles of our ancient gods. What does that tell you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
All right. What if we just studied it? How much could we learn from that? What if we just faced up to the fact that Major Kawalsky's slim chances of survival and realize that the greatest enemy mankind may ever face has just been delivered right to our doorstep. Even if we let it return through the Stargate as a gesture of good faith. How much could we…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(Interrupting, enraged) 
Just what kind of an officer are you, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Sir…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
As long as there is a snowball's chance in hell that my officer will come out of this procedure alive, we'll go ahead with it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
With respect General, I feel I should take this to my superiors.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(Snorts) 
Me, I'll probably just call the President and get approval right from the horse's mouth. But sure, you go right ahead, Colonel. Talk to your superiors. In the meantime people; let's get the job done.</blockquote>

[Hammond leaves the room. Only O'Neill, Carter and Warner rise.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Teal'c's larva has been partially pulled from his pouch, and is being held in place for study.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
Do you have any sense that the new anaesthetic is working better than the last one we tried?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>WARNER 
But you're not sure? There's no communication at all between you and the symbiote?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
A Jaffa does not communicate with the Goa'uld it carries.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
Well, keep your fingers crossed. Nurse, you can stop this IV and release the patient. We'll go with this one.</blockquote>

[Kawalsky is strapped to a regular bed on the other side of the room; O'Neill sitting in a chair beside him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They're getting ready.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
It's about time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How's the pain?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Maybe I'm just getting used to it. Listen, Jack, if this doesn't work…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, come on. It's…it's a cakewalk.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
It hurts to talk; will you shut up for a second? I wanna be cremated. I don't want there to be anything left of that thing inside me. You make sure, all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Look, can we not talk about this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
When am I going to talk about it, Jack? This could be my last conversation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Aw, for crying out loud. It's not your last conversation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Hey, I spoke to the Doc; he told me the odds. Don't give me any crap.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay. It's our last conversation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
You're going to be off on some other planet anyway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, P3A-575.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Whatever. This was going to be my first real command. I was looking forward to it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You still can, Charlie.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
They got me all tied up here. Give me your hand.</blockquote>

[O'Neill gives Kawalsky his hand; Kawalsky holds it.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
I want you to know; no matter what happens…it was an honor to serve with you. Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Listen, I got to ask you something. It's not easy for me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
We're friends.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(seriously) 
If you don't make it…can I have your stereo?</blockquote>

[Kawalsky laughs.]

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(Coughing) 
It hurts to laugh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Pats their joined hands) 
You all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Ahh…Never better.</blockquote>

[Hammond, O'Neill, Daniel, Carter and Teal'c are watching from the Observation Room above.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
I've held back on the use of anaesthetic until it can be administered to both patient and creature simultaneously. Major Kawalsky, we're going to begin the operation. Are you ready?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
I wanna say something. General Hammond, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(Over speaker) 
I'm here son.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
If this doesn't work…I want you to give the order. I want to wake up as me or not at all.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(After hesitation) 
You have my word, son.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE

<blockquote>ANAESTHETIST 
Injecting anaesthetic.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
All right. Start the clock.</blockquote>

[A nurse reaches over and starts the clock at zero.]

[00:00:02]

<blockquote>WARNER 
I'm making the first incision.</blockquote>

[01:19:51]

<blockquote>WARNER 
I'm separating the primary ganglia attaching the parasite to the spinal cord…now. It's coming away more easily than I'd hoped. Must be the anaesthetic.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC OBSERVATION ROOM'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
At least it's going well.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's fantastic. If we can reverse what's happened to the Major, then there's still a chance for Sha're.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Looks at Daniel sympathetically) 
Let's hope.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC OPERATING ROOM'''

<blockquote>WARNER 
The ganglia are still constricting…periodically. Obviously there still seems to be some sign of life in this symbiote. I don't know how. Scissors.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE 
Scissors.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
There are thin filaments extending up and into the brain. I'm going to sever them.</blockquote>

[Warner cuts the filaments. Kawalsky starts to seize.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
Hold him still!</blockquote>

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

[Kawalsky falls still.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
I don't know sir, I don't think it was anything I did. I'd like to proceed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How much longer?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
Almost there. Almost. Large clamp?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE 
Large clamp.</blockquote>

[The monitor shows the goa'uld being cut in half and the bottom half being pulled from Kawalsky.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
I'm taking it out…now.</blockquote>

[He puts the goa'uld in a basin.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
I think we did it. Close for me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well done, everyone.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks down at the dead goa'uld, then at Teal'c, who remains impassive.]

[Kawalsky waves.]

<blockquote>WARNER

[O'Neill and Warner look down at Kawalsky's feet and grin.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL

<blockquote>WARNER 
Congratulations, Major. You've already exceeded my wildest expectations.</blockquote>

[Warner leaves.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Thirsty.</blockquote>

[O'Neill gets him a drink.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL

[Kawalsky drinks, then coughs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Easy big fella. You're not drinking for two any more.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
With Teal'c, sir, I have his travel orders as well.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You do realize without his co-operation in finding an anaesthetic, the operation might have been a failure? I think we owe him something for that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Unfortunately, Teal'c is now carrying the only living Goa'uld available for study; and we do need to study it, sir, make no mistake on that. These aliens are possibly the greatest threat this country has ever known.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm well aware of the threat, Colonel. This facility is the front line. It's the reason this command exists. We just go about things differently around here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
I see. Well, I'll make the transport arrangements in the morning.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You do that.</blockquote>

[He salutes Kennedy. Kennedy returns the salute, then leaves.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Anyway. Uh…Colonel Kennedy's probably going to want to take it with him. So, if you wanna see it once before..?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Are you talking about that thing in my head?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel thinks it's fascinating.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No! I just thought you might wanna see it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Nooo, thanks.</blockquote>

[Carter enters.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hey, I just heard. They're shipping Teal'c out to Langley. Kennedy's taking him with him.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What for?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Study. That's Kennedy's word.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Right. 
(angrily) 
Like a damn lab rat. Apparently Kennedy's ethics are selective.</blockquote>

[O'Neill stalks out, Daniel following him. Carter moves to stand beside Kawalsky.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Listen, in case the Colonel can't talk him out of it; I'd like a minute alone with Teal'c before they ship him out. He helped get me through this. I got to thank him.</blockquote>

[He grabs Carter's hand.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, I think that can be arranged.</blockquote>

[Carter leaves.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Teal'c is brought down to see Kawalsky, escorted by two guards.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Hey, come on over here. I wanna shake hands with the man who helped save my life.</blockquote>

[Teal'c looks at the guards, then moves to shake hands with Kawalsky.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(to guards) 
I'd like a minute alone with my friend.</blockquote>

[Teal'c smiles slightly and looks backward. The guards hesitate.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
I'll make it an order, does that make you feel better?</blockquote>

[The guards exchange a shrug, then leave. Kawalsky looks away and then whips back. His eyes glow as he grabs Teal'c by the throat.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
Jaffa! What they removed was merely a dead husk. I had already become one with the host. I give you this chance: Serve me, and you may live.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(chokes out) 
I will not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
Then die.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Kawalsky enters.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY

[He crosses the room to the dialing computer. Davis reaches out a hand to stop him.]

<blockquote>DAVIS

[Kawalsky grabs Davis' arm and twists, smacking it down on the desk. Davis falls.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Arrghh! Arghh!</blockquote>

[Kawalsky begins the dialing sequence. Alarms go off. In the corridor, O'Neill and Hammond hear the alarms. Hammond nods to O'Neill, who takes off.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

[Teal'c exits the infirmary and sees the two guards on the floor. Warner runs up.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
What happened?</blockquote>

[In the Control Room, Kawalsky looks at the computer screen, which flashes "Destruct Sequence Activated."]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The Goa'uld has won. It has taken control of him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
But, how?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It deceived us.</blockquote>

[Teal'c runs off. Two airmen pass him, running in the opposite direction.]

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Kawalsky keys in one last command and lowers the blast doors. He makes his way to the Gate Room. The wormhole has engaged but Teal'c stands in the center of the ramp, guarding the Stargate.]

[O'Neill and Hammond bend over the computer.]

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[Teal'c and Kawalsky's struggle. Kawalsky is going for the throat, Teal'c seems to just be trying to fend him off. Teal'c gets a grip on Kawalsky's shirt, and pushes him partially into the wormhole. Kawalsky pushes back out. The fight continues in front of the wormhole.]

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, that did it. Open the blast doors.</blockquote>

[They doors open and they see Teal'c holding Kawalsky partially in the wormhole.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c! Hold him there!</blockquote>

[Teal'c pushes Kawalsky's head back into the event horizon.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Shut it down! Now!</blockquote>

[The Stargate shuts down. Teal'c lets Kawalsky go. He falls to the ground; part of his head is missing. O'Neill runs in and up the ramp. A small piece of the Goa'uld drops out of Kawalsky's head and shrivels up, smoking. O'Neill and Teal'c kneel beside Kawalsky's body. O'Neill looks shocked, and covers his mouth.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He was your friend.</blockquote>

Because only Kawalsky could have known that code.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So something of the host must survive?</blockquote>

[Carter nods and walks away. Daniel stands, looking thoughtful.]

'''INT—SGC HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(speaking on red phone) 
Oh absolutely. That's good to hear. Oh anytime, sir, you just come on down, we'd be glad to have you. 
(He chuckles) 
Well, hell sir, he's right here; why don't you tell him yourself? I'm sure he'd like to hear it from you.</blockquote>

[Hammond hands the red phone to Kennedy. As Kennedy takes it, Hammond smiles at O'Neill and motions him to proceed Hammond out of the room.]

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
(nervously) 
Yes, Mr President? Yes, sir.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill, is SG-1 ready to ship out?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We are, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Then you have a go for a standard recon mission on P3A-575.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir.</blockquote>

[The doors open and Teal'c walks through.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Reporting as ordered.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sir…It's sir.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Welcome aboard, son.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c walk up the ramp to join Daniel and Carter.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
The MALP reports conditions on the planet are favorable.</blockquote>

[Together, SG-1 walks up the ramp. They stop in front of the Gate. O'Neill looks across at his team.]

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

[Together, SG-1 walk into the wormhole.]

'''TEASER'''

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Hammond, O'Neill, Kawalsky, Daniel and Carter are standing in front of a map of planets.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Gentlemen, these planets designated P3-575 and P3A-577 have been submitted by Captain Carter's team as possible destinations for your next mission. SG units one and two will operate concurrently.</blockquote>

[O'Neill turns to Kawalsky.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You know, I'm kind of partial to P3-575 if you don't mind taking P3A-577.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
No I'll take 577.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm not married to it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
No, no it's…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I want to be fair about it. How about we flip for it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How about you go where I tell you. As far as I'm concerned…</blockquote>

[Alarms go off as the Stargate starts to activate.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Inbound traveler! Repeat. Inbound traveler!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Damn, those Goa'uld's are persistent.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I think we pissed them off.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Closing the iris.</blockquote>

[Soldiers run to stand before the Stargate, weapons ready. The computer screen flashes "Warning. Unrecognized traveler."]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Alert! All defense teams stand by. 
(turns to Davis) 
Set the base auto destruct countdown at three minutes.</blockquote>

[Davis does so. The seventh chevron locks. There is the sound of a wormhole engaging, but the iris remains in place. There are several thuds. Carter flinches.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
We're not going anywhere as long as the Goa'uld keep up these attacks.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They can't keep them up forever…Can they?</blockquote>

[More thuds are heard, impacting against the iris.]

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, once they realize our Gate's impenetrable they should just give up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Part of me just wants to let 'em through. Give 'em the fight they're looking for.</blockquote>

[There's on last thud, and the Stargate shuts down.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Radiation team, move in.</blockquote>

[Two technicians scan the iris with radiation-detecting equipment.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, there've got to be worse ways to go, I suppose.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You don't think the Goa'uld's are sending people through, do you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Be like bugs on a windshield.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Team reports all clear, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
All right, stand down from alert and abort the countdown.</blockquote>

[The soldiers relax. Kawalsky rubs the back of his neck and groans. O'Neill notices.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Kawalsky. What's the matter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Headache. Took a fistful of aspirin but nothing helps.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get down to the infirmary. Get it checked out. Go on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Sir, I think I'll do that. 
(Turns to Hammond) 
Sir, with your permission?</blockquote>

[Kawalsky salutes Hammond, Hammond salutes back.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
By all means Major. I need you to lead your team to P3-575.</blockquote>

[Kawalsky leaves, deliberately brushing against O'Neill as he passes. O'Neill smirks. The Stargate starts to turn again.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Inbound traveler! Inbound traveler!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Reset the countdown. Here we go again. All defense teams remain in position.</blockquote>

[Once again, the soldiers get ready as the Stargate activates.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to Carter) 
So this iris is going to hold right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Pure titanium. Less than three micrometers from the event horizon. It won't even allow matter to fully reintegrate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Carter) 
So this iris is going to hold, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
If it doesn't, the failsafe device will detonate, this whole mountain will vaporized and there'll be nothing to worry about.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah. Good, I feel much better.</blockquote>

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

'''INT—SGC HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Come.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks in.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I can understand how Kawalsky feels. This job gives me a headache too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Uh-huh. What's the bad news General?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Not much for small talk are you, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How was your weekend? Get any fishing in?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm rejecting your request to have Teal'c join SG-1. Wasn't my choice. A Colonel Kennedy is en route from the Pentagon right now. He'll be asking your friend some questions.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What kind of questions?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What we're up against. Troop strength, technology, weaponry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'd like to know the answers to those questions too, sir. But after they're done asking them…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
There'll be more questions. Possible tests. After all he's carrying the larval form of a hostile, a very formidable enemy, inside his body.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(suspiciously) 
What kind of tests are we talking about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Maybe you haven't noticed, Colonel. But he's the first alien species we've actually run into. You don't think that qualifies your friend as a subject of scientific interest?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
A subject?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
He is what he is, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
With all due respect Sir, I don't think he saved the lives of my team or came over to our side so he could become a damn guinea pig for US military intelligence.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Back up, Colonel. He switched sides once. Are you 100% positive he won't switch back?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(firmly) 
Yes, Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well you are alone in that assertion. Colonel Kennedy arrives within the hour. I promise Teal'c will be treated with dignity and respect for as long as he remains a guest of this facility. Beyond that, I can't promise a damn thing. Dismissed, Colonel.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks unhappy, but he turns and leaves.]

'''INT—SGC TEAL'C'S QUARTERS'''

[O'Neill enters. Teal'c is meditating.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey. Am I interrupting anything?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why don't I come back?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The people from Chulak?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We sent the last of them through the Gate just before the Goa'uld started knocking at the door.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(nods) 
Thanks to you. So how long do you think they'll keep it up?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
One, perhaps two more attempts. They will believe their weapons have destroyed you. They will not send warriors through for some time to make sure of your destruction.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well they'll be in for a surprise, huh?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Your iris will be closed. They will be crushed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(shrugs) 
Surprise.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Am I a prisoner?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ahh, yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I understand.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're not exactly living up to your expectations of us, are we?</blockquote>

[O'Neill pulls out a chair, and sits as he's talking.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You see, Teal'c, we've been living alone in our little corner of the galaxy for awhile and I think…The people I work for just need to get to know you a little better. I mean, your knowledge of the Goa'ulds alone makes them a little curious.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I will give that knowledge freely.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, I know you will, and we'll put it to good use.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I will pledge my allegiance to this world.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm just not sure that's ever going to be enough for them to trust you. To be honest with you, I think they're scared of you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Looks away) 
I understand.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Studying Teal'c) 
You must be used to that by now, huh?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am a Jaffa. I have served as a warrior for your enemy. I have carried your enemy within me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah. Well, it's kind of a human thing. We tend to be afraid of things we don't know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Why is O'Neill not afraid?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, I saw you stand up to a God. You refused to kill. I saw you make that decision.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
In that moment I learned everything I needed to know to trust you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
If I had killed you then, I would not be here now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Stands) 
Neither would I.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I will prove my allegiance, O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, I sure wish you didn't have to.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
When I do…You will show me this world?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh you bet. 
(claps Teal'c on the shoulder) 
Just not all at once though. 
(Knocks on door.) 
It's big.</blockquote>

[A guard opens the door. O'Neill leaves. Teal'c looks reflective for a moment, then goes back to meditating.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Doctor Nimzicki is shining a light into Kawalsky's eye.]

<blockquote>DOCTOR NIMZICKI 
And these headaches, Major…They started when you came back from your last mission?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Yeah. And they've been getting worse.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DOCTOR NIMZICKI 
Anybody else on the team experience these symptoms?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
No. Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DOCTOR NIMZICKI 
It could be a reaction to Gate travel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Look Doc, just give me a horse pill for the pain, or something. It's a damn headache.</blockquote>

[Doctor Nimzicki touches a lump at the back of Kawalsky's neck. He looks worried as he examines it.]

<blockquote>DOCTOR NIMZICKI 
What's this? You didn't notice this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
What? Notice what?</blockquote>

[The lump suddenly moves and we can see it move up Kawalsky's spine and into his brain. It's a goa'uld.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Ahh…ahh…arrghhhh!</blockquote>

[Kawalsky's eyes glow and he grabs Doctor Nimzicki by the throat.]

<blockquote>DOCTOR NIMZICKI 
Major!</blockquote>

[Kawalsky twists his wrist and snaps the doctor's neck.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Carter and Daniel are leading a briefing about the DHD.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So the device should be on every planet we find. I studied the one on Abydos for months. It's sort of like a…a…a…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Telephone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Telephone. 
(Smiles at Carter) 
I like that. In order to get back home all you have to do is…dial Earth. Which is uh…</blockquote>

[Daniel is distracted by something.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Which is what we're here to talk about so…</blockquote>

[As he's talking, he walks to the observation window overlooking the Gate Room.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What is Major Kawalsky doing in the Embarkation Room?</blockquote>

[Carter moves beside Daniel; both look down out of the window and see Kawalsky standing on the ramp with his arms outstretched.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Page Colonel O'Neill and General Hammond to the Embarkation Room, now!</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Yes, Ma'am!</blockquote>

[Daniel and Carter leave to go to the Gate room.]

'''INT—SGC GATEROOM'''

[Kawalsky is standing on the ramp. O'Neill and Hammond enter the room. Daniel and Carter are already standing behind Kawalsky.]

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Major Kawalsky?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(Looks around, confused) 
Jack?</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks up to him.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
What am I doing here?</blockquote>

[Kawalsky and O'Neill stare at each other.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Kawalsky is sitting on a bed while O'Neill goes to find a doctor.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, we got to a sick man here! 
(To himself) 
Where the hell is he? 
(To Kawalsky) 
Was the doctor here before?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
I don't remember.</blockquote>

[Doctor Warner enters.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
Sorry, Dr Nimzicki was supposed to be on call.</blockquote>

[He holds out a hand. Kawalsky shakes it.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
Dr Warner, Chief Surgeon. What's the problem?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Headache.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Little more than a headache, Doc. Just had a blackout.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
Hmm. We'll do an MRI right away. See what's going on in there.</blockquote>

[Warner and O'Neill walk out.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Take care of him, Doc. We need him.</blockquote>

'''INT—HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

[Hammond, Kennedy and a female officer leave the office and enter the Briefing Room.]

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Thank you.</blockquote>

[Teal'c enters, escorted by two guards.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Welcome, Teal'c. This is Colonel Kennedy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
I'm extraordinarily pleased to meet you, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel Kennedy's job is to gather information…uh, knowledge, about our potential enemies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I offer my knowledge of the Goa'ulds. I offer my skills as a warrior in defeating them. I pledge my honor and my life to this world.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Well, thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This is just an informal meeting, son. Take a seat.</blockquote>

[Teal'c sits. The soldiers flanking him remain on guard.]

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
I have a lot of questions to ask so if there are no objections. What can you tell us about the power source the Goa'uld use to power their weapons? Ships?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Nothing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
I see. Do you, yourself, have an understanding of the physics behind the Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
I see.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Knowledge of Goa'uld magic is forbidden.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks up the stairs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's not magic, Teal'c. They just want you to think that. Permission to barge in, Sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Colonel O'Neill. I was hoping to meet you. Your mission report from Chulak made for the most engrossing analysis of my career.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well thanks. What was your favorite part?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(frowning) 
Perhaps now is not the time, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, you know what I went and did? I told Teal'c how we all respect a person's rights in this country.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
I assure you, there is nothing untoward taking place here, Colonel. Please, join us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you. 
(waves) 
Hey Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's Teal'c with an apostrophe. T—E—A—L—apostrophe—C.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel. 
(sighs)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Very well, Teal'c. What can you tell me about the Goa'ulds?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They rule by force. Their numbers were very few but they are growing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
How many worlds do they control?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Many hundreds. Perhaps more.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
And should we expect to encounter these Goa'ulds everywhere we go?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(whispers to Hammond) 
We?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is possible. But there are many more worlds the Goa'ulds have no use for. On those worlds the people are abandoned, and left to fend for themselves.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Is there a leadership or government with which we could negotiate a peace?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Some, like Apophis, are great kings and rule over many worlds as their gods. But they have no need for peace. If they could kill you, they would.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Could they? They have space craft, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Yes. Without a Stargate, such a journey would take many months; perhaps even years. It would take many vessels; many slave armies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We're not that much of a nuisance, just yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
These slaves, where do they come from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
There is a tale of a primitive world the Goa'uld discovered millennia ago. The Tau'ri. The First World where forms of this type evolved. It is said the Goa'uld harvested among the primitives, some became Goa'uld hosts, others became Jaffa; the rest were taken as slaves and seeded among the stars to serve them. But that world has been lost for centuries.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Teal'c, beings of this form evolved here, on Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Looks around surprised) 
This world?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Is the world you're talking about Teal'c. Ra came here. If our ancestors hadn't rebelled and buried the Stargate…</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You would not have become strong enough to challenge them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Then the galaxy is populated by the ancient people of Earth?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
There could be millions by now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Then you are their greatest hope. And mine.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks reflective.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Kawalsky enters the MRI chamber. In the Observation Room, Doctor Warner is typing on a computer.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

[Daniel and Carter come out of an elevator.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm going to drop by the Control room. By the silence around here, it seems like the Goa'ulds have finally given up.</blockquote>

[Daniel rubs his eyes. Carter looks at him.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
When was the last time you slept?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I don't know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Doesn't help when the whole base goes on alert every two hours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No it's not that, it's just that…My mind races and I can't stop thinking about Sha're, where she is, what she's become…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I know. But you can't stay awake forever.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I can try.</blockquote>

[He lifts a cup of coffee and forces a laugh. Off Carter's look.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, you're right, I'll meet you at the next briefing.</blockquote>

[Carter slaps him on the back and leaves. Daniel enters one of the bunkrooms. The room is dark. He puts his coffee down and sits on the bottom bunk. An arm falls from the top bunk; blood is dripping off the fingers. Daniel switches on the light and finds Doctor Nimzicki, dead on the upper bunk.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Doctor Warner is looking at the MRI and sees a snake-like creature wrapped around Kawalsky's brain stem and spine. He frowns.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
All right.</blockquote>

[Warner walks over to Kawalsky.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
Major Kawalsky? We're all done here but I'm taking you off active duty as of now.</blockquote>

[Kawalsky sits up, but doesn't say anything.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
Major?</blockquote>

[Kawalsky turns to Warner, his eyes glowing. Warner stumbles backward and hits the alarm. A warning horn sounds.]

<blockquote>LOUDSPEAKER 
Security, to the Infirmary. Security, to the Infirmary. Set—condition Red. Set—condition red.</blockquote>

[Kawalsky walks out through the corridors, past the guards rushing toward the Infirmary. He enters the control room, punching and knocking down three technicians. At the computer, he starts punching in the commands to dial the Stargate.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(walking in) 
Kawalsky, what the hell are you doing?</blockquote>

[Kawalsky pushes her across the room. Carter falls, but gets up and heads for the microphone.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Close the blast doors. 
(Over the loudspeaker) 
Emergency in the Control Room! Emergency in the Control Room!</blockquote>

[Kawalsky grabs her and pulls her away, one hand over her mouth. Carter fights him.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(in a Goa'uld voice) 
Help me!</blockquote>

[Carter's eyes open wide in fear.]

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

[Kawalsky whirls around to O'Neill. He backs away holding Carter. O'Neill follows them as several airmen rush to the scene.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Shouts) 
Don't shoot!</blockquote>

[He moves after the pair, pushing an airman's gun barrel down.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Don't shoot, don't shoot.</blockquote>

[Kawalsky pulls Carter into an elevator and pushes one of the buttons. O'Neill gets there just as the doors close. He runs for the stairs.]

'''INT—SGC ELEVATOR'''

[Kawalsky pushes Carter away from him.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
You know they won't let you out of this mountain alive? When those doors open, they'll shoot on sight; you know that!</blockquote>

[Carter eyes the phone and tries to grab it. Kawalsky grabs her and throws her backward. She hits the wall hard, then slides down into a heap. Kawalsky stares at the elevator doors, expressionless.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR OUTSIDE ELEVATOR'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What the…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Someone inside the elevator hit the emergency stop.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Get those doors open!</blockquote>

[O'Neill arrives.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get 'em open.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(in a normal voice) 
Well, it's about time. Gimme a hand here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Charlie, what the hell's going on?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
I don't have a clue, Colonel, but she's hurt bad. We have to get her to the infirmary.</blockquote>

[O'Neill stares at him.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Warner is showing Kawalsky's MRI results on the computer. He points to the image.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
The parasite's wrapped around his spine.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Hammond share a worried look. Kawalsky is strapped to a rotating platform on a huge wheel. The platform rotates ninety degrees, so that Kawalsky moves from a flat position to a standing one. O'Neill and Daniel cross from opposite sides of the room to stand in front him. Only Kawalsky's face shows through the platform.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's a…It's a Goa'uld. Probably an infant.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They think that the reason it hasn't been able to take you over completely is it's not mature yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's what's causing your blackouts.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
What are you saying? I got one of those parasites in me? Well how in the hell does that happen?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We were kinda hoping you could tell us. You didn't feel it happening?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(scoffs) 
No.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
When was the first time you blacked out?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
I was here. We'd just come back through from Chulak. I thought it was just from coming back through the Stargate. We were helping that kid, Casey was his name. It was a sharp…Oh god Jack. I thought I wrenched my neck.</blockquote>

[O'Neill winces and looks down.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Anyway, Casey, he was all right, they took him out of there.</blockquote>

[He looks at O'Neill, tears in his eyes.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Oh god, Jack, you got to help me. You got to get this thing out of me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(somberly) 
That's the plan.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
(to Hammond) 
I've taken Major Kawalsky off all pain medication to increase his alertness. It should increase his ability to resist.</blockquote>

[On the other side of the room, Hammond and Doctor Warner confer.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
When can you remove it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
It would be an extremely complex operation. The parasite has literally woven itself around his nervous system.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(brusquely) 
Can it be done or not?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
Without killing him, possibly. Without making him a quadriplegic, that's a whole different story.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You just tell me who you need to assist. Anyone in the world. I'll have them here within 24 hours.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
When I was out, did I hurt anybody?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There's one man dead. A few more hurt.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(Closes eyes) 
Oh…God…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Captain Carter's going to be all right. I was just going to go check on her actually.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Oh I didn't mean to…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Hastily) 
No, she doesn't blame you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You're not responsible Charlie. It's not your fault. It's that damn thing that's inside you. Look, as soon as they know how to do it, they'll cut it out of you. Right now, you got to fight it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
I don't mind telling you; this is scaring me big time.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks worried.]

'''INT—SGC TEAL'C'S QUARTERS'''

[Kennedy, Hammond and O'Neill walk in.]

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Teal'c, stand and face this way please.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Standing) 
What is the emergency? They would not tell me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
That's none of your concern now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Glares at Kennedy) 
Kawalsky's become infected with a Goa'uld.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
And you wish to see if I still carry the Goa'uld within me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Yes. Now, please.</blockquote>

[Teal'c unzips his flight suit. The larva pokes out of his pouch.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
God, I hate those things. Have you seen enough?</blockquote>

[The larva goes back in.]

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
You understand we had to look and see?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What are its demands?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So far it's only managed to rear its butt-ugly head whenever Kawalsky blacks out. But it's already killed a man.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Then there will be a struggle for the host body. It must have sought a host in desperation before it was mature.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We intend to remove it before that happens.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It will kill the host if you try. Once it is one with the host, it is capable of killing him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So…what do we do?</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Kawalsky is struggling on the bed. Hammond, Teal'c and O'Neill walk in.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Charlie, we got General Hammond for you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(Painfully) 
General, please. You got to tell them to do something. The pain is too much.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We are, Major. You just have to hold on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(Getting pissed) 
No. Don't you give me that good soldier crap, General. You order them to cut this damn thing out of me!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c says if they do that, you might die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
I don't care!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Look Charlie. They want to talk to it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
What? What the hell is there to talk about?!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We must offer it life to save yours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
No. No! I want you to kill it!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
We must talk to the Goa'uld within you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Jack, please help me, Jack!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Charlie, just let them do their job will ya?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
No! Don't let them do this, Jack! I want you to kill it! Kill it, Jack, kill it.</blockquote>

[The monitors start to speed up.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
His heart rate just doubled.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Kill it! Kill it! Kill it! Kill it! Kill it!</blockquote>

[Kawalsky suddenly collapses. The monitors increase in tempo. There's a beep, then everything evens out on the monitors. Kawalsky rears up, but it's not him talking.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
Nemes Kree! I won't speak to the traitor. You are their leader?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I am.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
Speak.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm General George Hammond of the United States Air Force. Commander-in-Chief of the SGC. And you are?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
Interested only in returning through the Stargate. Now!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You are in no position to make demands. I have a proposition.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
Release me now or I will destroy you!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
If you leave this man's body, we will allow you to live and send you back through the Stargate in your natural form.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
This body is mine!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
If you are unwilling to leave, we will be forced to surgically…</blockquote>

[Kawalsky pulls back, and rips his arm out of the restraint. He starts trying to get off the bed. Teal'c, O'Neill, and Doctor Warner grab him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c! Hold him!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
Release me now or I will destroy you!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Do not attempt to escape!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
I command you!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We will open fire! Colonel, stand aside!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
Release me now!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Take aim!</blockquote>

[Kawalsky looks up.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(normal voice) 
Don't shoot!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Don't shoot!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Hold your fire!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Oh, oh God!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It's all right, son. I won't put you through that again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(Crying) 
Oh Jack, what did I do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Uh, nothing, you just got a little mouthy. Nothing serious.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Dr Warner? I want to know the minute that godforsaken thing can be taken out if my officer. Is that clear?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
Yes sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This conversation is over.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM'''

[O'Neill, Carter, Teal'c, Daniel, Warner and Kennedy are already seated. Hammond walks in and they rise.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
As you were people. In light of the day's events, Colonel Kennedy has chosen to make certain recommendations to my superiors that I want to share with all of you. Colonel Kennedy?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
I know that many of you have served with Major Kawalsky so please forgive me if what I am about to suggest appears in any way…callous. But I believe surgical removal of the parasite may be a mistake.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, this is a waste of time Kawalsky does not have.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Dr Warner, what are Major Kawalsky's chances of surviving the procedure?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
Ten…twelve percent at most.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
And the parasite? It is an intelligent being after all, isn't it Colonel? I believe I first read that in your report.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
The parasite itself would not survive the procedure.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
So, we're faced with destroying one life in the hopeless attempt to save another. You see the ethical dilemma?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, I don't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
My team and I are completely prepared to perform the procedure, sir. We'll do our best.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Of course you will Doctor. Please don't misunderstand. We all wish the invading parasite in Major Kawalsky's body could be safely removed. But the facts are the facts.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm sorry, what was your point?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
If we proceed with this operation, Major Kawalsky will have died in vain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And if we don't?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Well let's consider that for a moment. These infant Goa'uld's; if they're so young, so fragile in their larval state that they require a, uh…a, uh…I'm sorry what was it you called yourself?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
For want of a better translation; what? Incubator? How is it they're so intelligent?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
A Goa'uld is born with all the knowledge of all Goa'uld's that came before it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Genetic memory. That's amazing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Yes it is. All the knowledge of the Goa'ulds. I just want you all to think on that before we just throw it away.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I've thought about it. 
(To Carter, who nods) 
You thought about it? I think we've all thought about it. Yeah. 
(looks around the table) 
Any more thinking to be done?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Imagine if we could convince that Goa'uld to share that knowledge.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
A Goa'uld would not willingly share.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Teal'c is right. To them, we're nothing. Less than nothing, I mean…think about it; they've taken on the roles of our ancient gods. What does that tell you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
All right. What if we just studied it? How much could we learn from that? What if we just faced up to the fact that Major Kawalsky's slim chances of survival and realize that the greatest enemy mankind may ever face has just been delivered right to our doorstep. Even if we let it return through the Stargate as a gesture of good faith. How much could we…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(Interrupting, enraged) 
Just what kind of an officer are you, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Sir…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
As long as there is a snowball's chance in hell that my officer will come out of this procedure alive, we'll go ahead with it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
With respect General, I feel I should take this to my superiors.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(Snorts) 
Me, I'll probably just call the President and get approval right from the horse's mouth. But sure, you go right ahead, Colonel. Talk to your superiors. In the meantime people; let's get the job done.</blockquote>

[Hammond leaves the room. Only O'Neill, Carter and Warner rise.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Teal'c's larva has been partially pulled from his pouch, and is being held in place for study.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
Do you have any sense that the new anaesthetic is working better than the last one we tried?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>WARNER 
But you're not sure? There's no communication at all between you and the symbiote?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
A Jaffa does not communicate with the Goa'uld it carries.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
Well, keep your fingers crossed. Nurse, you can stop this IV and release the patient. We'll go with this one.</blockquote>

[Kawalsky is strapped to a regular bed on the other side of the room; O'Neill sitting in a chair beside him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They're getting ready.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
It's about time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How's the pain?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Maybe I'm just getting used to it. Listen, Jack, if this doesn't work…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, come on. It's…it's a cakewalk.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
It hurts to talk; will you shut up for a second? I wanna be cremated. I don't want there to be anything left of that thing inside me. You make sure, all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Look, can we not talk about this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
When am I going to talk about it, Jack? This could be my last conversation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Aw, for crying out loud. It's not your last conversation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Hey, I spoke to the Doc; he told me the odds. Don't give me any crap.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay. It's our last conversation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
You're going to be off on some other planet anyway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, P3A-575.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Whatever. This was going to be my first real command. I was looking forward to it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You still can, Charlie.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
They got me all tied up here. Give me your hand.</blockquote>

[O'Neill gives Kawalsky his hand; Kawalsky holds it.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
I want you to know; no matter what happens…it was an honor to serve with you. Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Listen, I got to ask you something. It's not easy for me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
We're friends.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(seriously) 
If you don't make it…can I have your stereo?</blockquote>

[Kawalsky laughs.]

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(Coughing) 
It hurts to laugh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Pats their joined hands) 
You all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Ahh…Never better.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC OPERATING ROOM'''

[Hammond, O'Neill, Daniel, Carter and Teal'c are watching from the Observation Room above.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
I've held back on the use of anaesthetic until it can be administered to both patient and creature simultaneously. Major Kawalsky, we're going to begin the operation. Are you ready?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
I wanna say something. General Hammond, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(Over speaker) 
I'm here son.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
If this doesn't work…I want you to give the order. I want to wake up as me or not at all.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks down at his clasped hands.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(After hesitation) 
You have my word, son.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE 
Scalpel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ANAESTHETIST 
Injecting anaesthetic.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
All right. Start the clock.</blockquote>

[A nurse reaches over and starts the clock at zero.]

[00:00:02]

<blockquote>WARNER 
I'm making the first incision.</blockquote>

[01:19:51]

<blockquote>WARNER 
I'm separating the primary ganglia attaching the parasite to the spinal cord…now. It's coming away more easily than I'd hoped. Must be the anaesthetic.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC OBSERVATION ROOM'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
At least it's going well.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's fantastic. If we can reverse what's happened to the Major, then there's still a chance for Sha're.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Looks at Daniel sympathetically) 
Let's hope.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC OPERATING ROOM'''

<blockquote>WARNER 
The ganglia are still constricting…periodically. Obviously there still seems to be some sign of life in this symbiote. I don't know how. Scissors.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE 
Scissors.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
There are thin filaments extending up and into the brain. I'm going to sever them.</blockquote>

[Warner cuts the filaments. Kawalsky starts to seize.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
Hold him still!</blockquote>

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

[Kawalsky falls still.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
I don't know sir, I don't think it was anything I did. I'd like to proceed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How much longer?</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
Almost there. Almost. Large clamp?</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE 
Large clamp.</blockquote>

[The monitor shows the goa'uld being cut in half and the bottom half being pulled from Kawalsky.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
I'm taking it out…now.</blockquote>

[He puts the goa'uld in a basin.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
I think we did it. Close for me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well done, everyone.</blockquote>

[O'Neill looks down at the dead goa'uld, then at Teal'c, who remains impassive.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Kawalsky is waking up.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Leaning over Kawalsky) 
That's right Dorothy. It was all a dream.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
Can you move your fingers?</blockquote>

[Kawalsky waves.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
Toes?</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Warner look down at Kawalsky's feet and grin.]

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

<blockquote>WARNER 
Congratulations, Major. You've already exceeded my wildest expectations.</blockquote>

[Warner leaves.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Thirsty.</blockquote>

[O'Neill gets him a drink.]

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

[Kawalsky drinks, then coughs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Easy big fella. You're not drinking for two any more.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
I made it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
See? I told you. Piece of cake.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

[Kennedy enters. He salutes Hammond.]

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
I heard the operation was a complete success, sir. Congratulations. And I have my orders to return to Langley.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
With Teal'c, sir, I have his travel orders as well.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You do realize without his co-operation in finding an anaesthetic, the operation might have been a failure? I think we owe him something for that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
Unfortunately, Teal'c is now carrying the only living Goa'uld available for study; and we do need to study it, sir, make no mistake on that. These aliens are possibly the greatest threat this country has ever known.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm well aware of the threat, Colonel. This facility is the front line. It's the reason this command exists. We just go about things differently around here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
I see. Well, I'll make the transport arrangements in the morning.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You do that.</blockquote>

[He salutes Kennedy. Kennedy returns the salute, then leaves.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[O'Neill and Daniel are visiting Kawalsky, who's still in bed.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Anyway. Uh…Colonel Kennedy's probably going to want to take it with him. So, if you wanna see it once before..?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Are you talking about that thing in my head?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel thinks it's fascinating.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No! I just thought you might wanna see it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Nooo, thanks.</blockquote>

[Carter enters.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hey, I just heard. They're shipping Teal'c out to Langley. Kennedy's taking him with him.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What for?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Study. That's Kennedy's word.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Right. 
(angrily) 
Like a damn lab rat. Apparently Kennedy's ethics are selective.</blockquote>

[O'Neill stalks out, Daniel following him. Carter moves to stand beside Kawalsky.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Listen, in case the Colonel can't talk him out of it; I'd like a minute alone with Teal'c before they ship him out. He helped get me through this. I got to thank him.</blockquote>

[He grabs Carter's hand.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay, I think that can be arranged.</blockquote>

[Carter leaves.]

'''INT—SGC INFIRMARY'''

[Teal'c is brought down to see Kawalsky, escorted by two guards.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Hey, come on over here. I wanna shake hands with the man who helped save my life.</blockquote>

[Teal'c looks at the guards, then moves to shake hands with Kawalsky.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
(to guards) 
I'd like a minute alone with my friend.</blockquote>

[Teal'c smiles slightly and looks backward. The guards hesitate.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
I'll make it an order, does that make you feel better?</blockquote>

[The guards exchange a shrug, then leave. Kawalsky looks away and then whips back. His eyes glow as he grabs Teal'c by the throat.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
Jaffa! What they removed was merely a dead husk. I had already become one with the host. I give you this chance: Serve me, and you may live.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(chokes out) 
I will not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
Then die.</blockquote>

[Kawalsky tightens his hold on Teal'c, who collapses. He stalks outside and flattens the two guards at the door.]

'''INT—SGC HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel, I'm doing everything I can.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So because he wasn't born on this particular planet, he doesn't have any rights any more? Is that it?</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Kawalsky enters.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY 
Get out!</blockquote>

[He crosses the room to the dialing computer. Davis reaches out a hand to stop him.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Major?</blockquote>

[Kawalsky grabs Davis' arm and twists, smacking it down on the desk. Davis falls.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Arrghh! Arghh!</blockquote>

[Kawalsky begins the dialing sequence. Alarms go off. In the corridor, O'Neill and Hammond hear the alarms. Hammond nods to O'Neill, who takes off.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

[Teal'c exits the infirmary and sees the two guards on the floor. Warner runs up.]

<blockquote>WARNER 
What happened?</blockquote>

[In the Control Room, Kawalsky looks at the computer screen, which flashes "Destruct Sequence Activated."]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
The Goa'uld has won. It has taken control of him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARNER 
But, how?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It deceived us.</blockquote>

[Teal'c runs off. Two airmen pass him, running in the opposite direction.]

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[Kawalsky keys in one last command and lowers the blast doors. He makes his way to the Gate Room. The wormhole has engaged but Teal'c stands in the center of the ramp, guarding the Stargate.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKY'S GOA'ULD 
Jaffa! Kal Shak!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You cannot pass.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

[O'Neill and Hammond come down the stairs.]

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

<blockquote>DAVIS 
He set the co-ordinates for Chulak.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[Kawalsky shouts and runs up the ramp at Teal'c. They struggle, each trying to beat the other.]

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
He set the auto destruct sequence on the failsafe device.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How'd he have the code?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I don't know but I need two ranking officers to override and you're it.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Hammond bend over the computer.]

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

[Teal'c and Kawalsky's struggle. Kawalsky is going for the throat, Teal'c seems to just be trying to fend him off. Teal'c gets a grip on Kawalsky's shirt, and pushes him partially into the wormhole. Kawalsky pushes back out. The fight continues in front of the wormhole.]

'''INT—SGC CONTROL ROOM'''

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, that did it. Open the blast doors.</blockquote>

[They doors open and they see Teal'c holding Kawalsky partially in the wormhole.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c! Hold him there!</blockquote>

[Teal'c pushes Kawalsky's head back into the event horizon.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Shut it down! Now!</blockquote>

[The Stargate shuts down. Teal'c lets Kawalsky go. He falls to the ground; part of his head is missing. O'Neill runs in and up the ramp. A small piece of the Goa'uld drops out of Kawalsky's head and shrivels up, smoking. O'Neill and Teal'c kneel beside Kawalsky's body. O'Neill looks shocked, and covers his mouth.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
He was your friend.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(flatly) 
My friend died on the table.</blockquote>

[O'Neill gets up and walks away. Teal'c follows.]

'''EXT—CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN'''

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

[Carter and Daniel walk towards the Gate Room.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
If anything, the fact that he knew how to set the auto destruct code proves that there's hope for Sha're and Skaara.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Because only Kawalsky could have known that code.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So something of the host must survive?</blockquote>

[Carter nods and walks away. Daniel stands, looking thoughtful.]

'''INT—SGC HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(speaking on red phone) 
Oh absolutely. That's good to hear. Oh anytime, sir, you just come on down, we'd be glad to have you. 
(He chuckles) 
Well, hell sir, he's right here; why don't you tell him yourself? I'm sure he'd like to hear it from you.</blockquote>

[Hammond hands the red phone to Kennedy. As Kennedy takes it, Hammond smiles at O'Neill and motions him to proceed Hammond out of the room.]

<blockquote>KENNEDY 
(nervously) 
Yes, Mr President? Yes, sir.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM'''

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill, is SG-1 ready to ship out?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We are, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Then you have a go for a standard recon mission on P3A-575.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir.</blockquote>

[The doors open and Teal'c walks through.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Reporting as ordered.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sir…It's sir.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Welcome aboard, son.</blockquote>

[O'Neill and Teal'c walk up the ramp to join Daniel and Carter.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
The MALP reports conditions on the planet are favorable.</blockquote>

[Together, SG-1 walks up the ramp. They stop in front of the Gate. O'Neill looks across at his team.]

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

[Together, SG-1 walk into the wormhole.]

'''TEASER'''

'''EXT—PLANET—DAY'''

<blockquote>TEAL'C walks into view against a bright blue sky, wearing sunglasses.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL walks up behind TEAL'C, also wearing sunglasses.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What've we got here, Teal'c?</blockquote>

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

[TEAL'C and O'NEILL stand overlooking a pit. The ground around them is bright yellow sand. In the center of the pit are crystal growths, the same bright shade of blue as the sky. DANIEL and CARTER join TEAL'C and O'NEILL. They are also wearing sunglasses; apparently the combination of sun and yellow sand is quite blinding. All three humans are also wearing gloves; O'NEILL'S are fingerless.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wow.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It may indicate a…uh, civilization of some kind…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, let's spread out and take a look.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I think there's a way down over here…</blockquote>

[The team descends toward the FRED and the crystals at the bottom of the pit.]

'''EXT—CRYSTAL PIT —DAY'''

[While DANIEL films the landscape and the crystals, CARTER kneels beside one of the bigger clusters to examine it.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Crystals…Granite…not volcanic. I don't see any that aren't broken.</blockquote>

[DANIEL squats beside another cluster and picks up two shards. They almost seem to be glowing.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
These pieces might fit together.</blockquote>

[DANIEL spots something. He puts down the two pieces of crystals he's holding and moves to another cluster.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Here's a whole one.</blockquote>

[CARTER joins DANIEL beside a crystal that seems to be more complete than the others. DANIEL brushes the yellow sand off it. The exposed crystal is about twelve inches long, and three or four inches in diameter. It's multifaceted.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Looks like they've been blasted apart by something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's damaged.</blockquote>

[Close up, small flecks of blue crystal are visible in the yellow sand. So is a large crack in the seemingly complete crystal.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hmm…I don't see any other whole ones, do you?</blockquote>

[While DANIEL continues to clear sand from the largest crystal, CARTER gets up to examine other clusters. TEAL'C is watching CARTER and DANIEL from an area near the FRED.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C looks down at O'NEILL, who is several feet below him, on the side of an even deeper pit. O'NEILL gestures to TEAL'C to let him know he is going to look below. O'NEILL walks away from his team, toward another area where slightly larger crystals are clustered. They too, are broken, but the pieces remaining seem to be larger than the crystals DANIEL and CARTER found. In the middle of the broken crystals, one large, complete one stands alone…it seems to be almost three feet tall, and about eight inches in diameter. It is surrounded by shards of smaller crystals. O'NEILL cautiously approaches it.]

[Though a blue-tinted perspective, O'NEILL looks down at something. It's as though someone is looking from within the large crystal. O'NEILL squats down beside the crystal and takes off his sunglasses to examine it. He reaches out… From within the blue-tinted vision, O'NEILL'S hand comes closer and closer… Suddenly, O'NEILL cries out as he is sent flying backward. He loses his weapon and hits the ground. He falls, unconscious, on the yellow sand.]

'''EXT—CRYSTAL PLANET—DAY'''

[On the rise between the two pits, TEAL'C stands guard between the divided SG-1. CARTER and DANIEL climb to meet him.]

'''EXT—CRYSTAL PLANET—DAY'''

[As O'NEILL lies unconscious on the yellow sand, someone stands over him. It's a second O'NEILL. He looks both puzzled and concerned as he gazes down at the unconscious form beneath him. The ALIEN O'NEILL picks up O'NEILL'S hat, looks at it, and looks down at O'NEILL again.]

'''EXT—CRYSTAL PLANET—DAY'''

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to Teal'c)</blockquote>

<blockquote>Where's the Colonel?</blockquote>

[TEAL'C points to where O'NEILL disappeared.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(over radio) 
Jack, we've finished our recon, loaded up FRED and we're ready to head back to the Gate. Is this…am I using this right?</blockquote>

[Over by the unconscious O'NEILL, the ALIEN O'NEILL ignores DANIEL'S transmission as he picks up O'NEILL'S weapon.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(yelling) 
We're ready to head out, sir!</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL looks to where the shouts are coming from. He looks back down at O'NEILL, still lying unconscious on the ground.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(yelling) 
Colonel!</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL seems to come to a decision. He heads toward the team, leaving O'NEILL lying on the ground.]

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM—DAY'''

[DANIEL, TEAL'C and CARTER walk through the Gate back into the SGC, followed by the ALIEN O'NEILL, who pauses at the top of the ramp, looking at everything with amazement. At the bottom of the ramp, an airman with some kind of radiation monitor waves a wand over him.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Radiation level check…all clear.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL looks up. Watching their arrival, HAMMOND stands with the technicians in the Control Room.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(over the intercom) 
Welcome back, SG-1. Debriefing will commence at oh-nine-hundred. As CARTER, TEAL'C and DANIEL leave the Gate Room, the ALIEN O'NEILL takes off his sunglasses and gazes around at his new surroundings.</blockquote>

<blockquote>END TEASER</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROLL CREDITS</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM—DAY'''

[TEAL'C, CARTER, HAMMOND, and DANIEL are seated around the table. CARTER is talking. TEAL'C is looking at some notes. DANIEL seems to be looking at a book. An Airman is standing guard by the door.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
The samples we brought back are being analyzed, and we explored a ten kilometer radius around the Gate without finding any sign of recent Goa'uld mining activity. In fact, there's no indication that Goa'ulds or anyone else have been through that Gate in a thousand years.</blockquote>

[ALIEN O'NEILL is standing with his back to the room, looking through the observation window at the Gate Room below.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Tell me about these crystals.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uhm, we found thousands in a pit near the Stargate. Since we didn't find them anywhere else on the planet, it's likely that they were gathered and put there.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL flashes back to the moment the real O'NEILL stood over the crystal.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Early Greek cultures valued crystals and gemstones; perhaps the pit has some religious…or ceremonial…significance.</blockquote>

[ALIEN O'NEILL flashes back to O'NEILL reaching out to touch the crystal, then his subsequent shock and unconscious landing.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Your report doesn't mention any local population.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
There's no evidence of a developed culture; no roads, villages, settlements, nothing…</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL rejoins the group at the table.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm with Daniel…
(indicates a photo of the damaged crystal she and DANIEL found, displayed on a computer monitor) 
We didn't find any unbroken crystals but we have this one and pieces of a few larger ones back in decon right now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Flag this one, Colonel. SG-1 is on stand down until your next mission comes up. Dismissed.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND leaves the room. SG-1 pack up their things.]

'''INT—SGC LOCKER ROOM—DAY'''

[ALIEN O'NEILL runs his fingers over the nametag on O'NEILL'S locker. He opens the door and takes out a leather jacket, pulling it on over his civilian clothing. Looking down, the ALIEN O'NEILL notices a Van Dyck cigar box on the bottom of the locker. He pulls it out and sits on the bench to open it. Inside are a wedding ring, a leather key case, and a pile of photographs. There's one of O'NEILL as a young soldier, several of a small child, and finally, one of O'NEILL and CHARLIE with a trophy.]

[The ALIEN O'NEILL remembers throwing a ball in the air and catching it— CHARLIE hitting the ball with a bat—CHARLIE jumping with excitement. Obviously, this ALIEN has some of the real O'NEILL'S memories.]

[The ALIEN O'NEILL pauses at a photo of the real O'NEILL, SARA and CHARLIE standing in front of a large blue house, just as CARTER enters the locker room.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hey, Colonel.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL looks up at CARTER, then looks down at the letters he's just reached at the bottom of the box. The top one is addressed to HQ US Airforce, Att Col. Jack O'Neill, 890 AF Pentagon. The return address is Sara O'Neill, 842 Cranbroke Lane, Winter Park, CO 80310.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh, listen, no offense, Colonel, but this becomes the women's locker room in… 
(she looks at her watch) 
uh, now. You know how I hate those sandy planets. 
(CARTER smiles and looks over at the ALIEN O'NEILL, who doesn't appear to have heard her. She looks impatient) 
You don't have to hurry on my account.</blockquote>

[CARTER notices what he's holding and walks a little closer, sort of peering over his shoulder.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Nice…You have a family.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(nods) 
I'm an auntie myself. My brother moved to San Diego, so I don't get to see them much…He has two kids now, boy and a girl. I miss 'em like hell; don't get there near enough.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL rises, puts the box back in the locker and closes the door, paying no attention to her. CARTER looks at him, smiling and nodding.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I can see you feel the same way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Goodbye, Sam.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Bye.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL exits the Locker Room, almost running into DANIEL on his way in. DANIEL does a little dance step to avoid him. CARTER looks at DANIEL with surprise as he enters the locker room.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack seems very…focused.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah. He was looking at pictures of his family. He must be in a hurry to get home. I didn't even know he was married.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, he isn't.
(off CARTER's astonished look) 
Um…he was but they separated after his son…died.</blockquote>

[CARTER blinks, speechless, and DANIEL exits the locker room.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

[The ALIEN O'NEILL walks down a busy corridor. He turns to look at TEAL'C, who intercepts him at a crossover.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Colonel O'Neill. You are departing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You said one day you would show me your world. I would like to see it now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Another time.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL walks away. TEAL'C looks after him, blinking in apparent puzzlement.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR—DAY'''

<blockquote>CARTER and DANIEL are walking, deep in conversation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I've known the man for months and he doesn't say word one about a life outside this place and I'm thinking he just doesn't have one. What else don't I know about him?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, he doesn't really tell you much until he gets to know you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, that's an understatement.</blockquote>

[DANIEL and CARTER arrive at the lab. They enter and approach a young female scientist, who is working with the damaged crystal they found.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
All right, what do we have here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SCIENTIST 
Passed all the decontamination protocols; but I noticed it's got a low-level EM field you should check out. Either that or my fridge magnets fell of the wall by themselves.</blockquote>

[CARTER and the SCIENTIST chuckle.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to the scientist) 
I'm sorry…EM?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Electromagnetic energy.
(to scientist) 
Thanks.</blockquote>

[The SCIENTIST nods and walks away. CARTER wheels the table with the crystal closer to a counter where several smaller crystals have been placed. She slips on gloves.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
So um…tell me more about the Colonel. What happened to his son?</blockquote>

[DANIEL looks at CARTER, looks away, and frowns.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Charlie…accidentally killed himself with Jack's personal gun.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh, God. That's horrible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack never forgave himself. He holed up and turned his back on the world for uh…a long time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I can imagine. I don't know what I'd do. 
(turns to examine the crystal through a magnifying glass) 
What about his wife?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sara? I don't think they've seen each other since he joined SG-1. He hasn't said anything about a visit but like I said…</blockquote>

<blockquote>Carter 
(nodding) 
He doesn't tell you much.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Right. Look at this…</blockquote>

[She runs her fingers over the edge of the large crystal. DANIEL bends down to look.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
See the edge of this crystal here? How it's glassy, like its been melted?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Can you tell what did it? For me, it might shed a little light on what the significance of the pit was and who…put them there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It would take extreme temperatures to melt quartz crystal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Lightning?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Maybe…but it's too precise, too clean.
(CARTER looks up suddenly) 
I think I've seen a cut like this before. Here, in this facility.</blockquote>

'''EXT—SARA O'NEILL'S HOME—DAY'''

[The ALIEN O'NEILL is looking at the photo of O'NEILL, SARA and CHARLIE, comparing it to the house he is standing in front of. The front door opens, and SARA walks out.]

<blockquote>SARA 
Dad, I left some ice tea in there for you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
(trying out different intonations) 
Hello, Sara. Hello, Sara.</blockquote>

'''EXT—SARAH O'NEILL'S HOME—DAY'''

[SARA has her sleeves rolled up, working on the engine of an old Mustang.]

<blockquote>SARA 
It may be time to face facts, Dad. This old thing has seen better days.</blockquote>

[SARA'S father, MIKE, carries a pallet of plants into view.]

<blockquote>MIKE 
A girl shouldn't be so quick to give up on the aged…makes a father worry.</blockquote>

[MIKE enters the house. SARA doesn't notice, she keeps talking.]

<blockquote>SARA 
Come on, Dad, I'm serious. If I keep…</blockquote>

[SARA stops midsentence as she walks around the far side of the car and sees the ALIEN O'NEILL standing awkwardly in the driveway.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Hello, Sara.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Been there long?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Could've said something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I did.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
(sighs) 
Right…you did.</blockquote>

[SARA returns to the car. The ALIEN O'NEILL walks awkwardly to join her. He stares into her face, then looks down at the engine.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Something wrong?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
I think it's the ignition…But you didn't come about the car.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>SARA 
So,…what? You decided you'd just…show up? Waltz back into my life? Is that it?</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL looks around. Through a blue haze, he notices Charlie's bike and basketball hoop.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Yes.</blockquote>

[SARA releases a burst of air and shakes her head. She sighs.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I need to find Charlie. Is he here?</blockquote>

[SARA looks at the ALIEN O'NEILL, shocked.]

<blockquote>SARA 
Charlie?</blockquote>

[SARA sounds shaken. She takes a step toward the ALIEN O'NEILL, frowning with worry as she searches his face. The ALIEN O'NEILL grasps SARA by the arms. His gaze becomes intent.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I need Charlie. That's his bicycle, isn't it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
I kept some of his things.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Yes. I know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
(slowly) 
Jack, what are you doing? You're scaring me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
It's important, Sara. 
(without breaking their gaze, he shouts out) 
Charlie?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Don't! Let go of me.</blockquote>

[SARA shakes him off. She slowly backs away from the ALIEN O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>SARA 
What the hell is wrong with you? Is this your idea of a joke? Just get away from me.</blockquote>

[SARA turns and runs into the house.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Sara!
(to himself) 
I don't understand.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL stares at the bicycle again. He is startled by MIKE coming out of the house behind him.]

<blockquote>MIKE 
Son, if upsetting her is your way of trying to win a woman's heart, it's a stupid one. Anyone ever tell you that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I think you just did.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MIKE 
(shakes his head) 
Come on in here.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL follows him inside.]

'''INT—SGC—TEAL'S QUARTERS—DAY'''

[The room is very bare and utilitarian. An exposed lightbulb in a wire cage illuminates the room. A bed stands against one wall; a TV set is on a cart in the corner of the room. A desk on the side contains a few books and a desk lamp. TEAL'C enters.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
(over loudspeaker) 
Attention! All new personnel, report to the Auditorium, sublevel one, for orientation at fourteen-thirty hours.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C stares at the blank television in what seems to be surprise, then picks up the remote and turns it on. The first program is a news report. On the screen, people run around in confusion.]

<blockquote>FIRST NEWS ANNOUNCER 
…after last night's rally turned ugly. Protestors clashed with police, and police have announced that a dusk to dawn curfew is now in effect. No word yet on any casualties.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C stares at the television. A second announcer takes over.]

<blockquote>SECOND NEWS ANNOUNCER 
In financial news, the bull was annihilated today with bears leaving a sea of red behind them…</blockquote>

[TEAL'C changes the channel, finding a music video. A figure outlined in fire throws an object at the camera. TEAL'C frowns as he touches his ear. He changes the channel to another news station.]

<blockquote>THIRD NEWS ANNOUNCER 
…for the third straight day. And no one on either side could say how it started in the first place.</blockquote>

[CARTER and DANIEL rush in, slightly out of breath. TEAL'C turns off the television set.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Teal'c! We need your help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Your world is a strange place.</blockquote>

[CARTER nods.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(stops, gives Teal'c an odd, puzzled look) 
So is yours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Listen, uh…We need to stop by the armory and sign out your staff weapon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Are we being deployed?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No! No, it's okay. Come on.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C puts down the remote and follows DANIEL and CARTER.]

'''INT—SARA O'NEILL'S HOME—DAY'''

[The ALIEN O'NEILL and MIKE are in CHARLIE'S old room. The ALIEN O'NEILL is touching various toys, looking around at awards, artwork, photographs…the remnants of CHARLIE.]

<blockquote>MIKE 
Parents shouldn't outlive their children. It isn't natural.</blockquote>

[MIKE studies the ALIEN O'NEILL, who turns away. He remembers CHARLIE running toward him, laughing.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
He loved to laugh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MIKE 
(chuckles) 
Yeah. Sometimes I can still hear him laughing at one of my bad jokes. Sara kept all his things…like that bike outside. I guess it's her way of keeping him around awhile.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL has a memory of CHARLIE smiling and giving a 'thumbs-up' signal.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I thought I would find Charlie here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MIKE 
Look around, you still might.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
He's gone. What do I do?</blockquote>

[MIKE looks at the ALIEN O'NEILL with concern.]

<blockquote>MIKE 
Sara comes up here and talks to him sometimes and it helps her. If it helps you, I'm…I'm glad you're here.</blockquote>

[MIKE steps out of the doorway and into the room as the ALIEN O'NEILL moves around, touching a model rocket.]

<blockquote>MIKE 
You know, Jack, for an Irishman you never were much of a talker but…that never mattered. I'll give you that much…you married my daughter.
(MIKE frowns, watching the ALIEN touch CHARLIE'S things) 
Say what you need to Charlie if that's all you come here for, but Sara is not over you yet, so…You break her heart again and, God help you, I'll make you wish you never did.</blockquote>

[MIKE leaves the ALIEN O'NEILL alone in CHARLIE'S room. The ALIEN O'NEILL picks up a baseball and remembers pitching the ball to CHARLIE, who swings at it and hits it, cheering as the ball goes flying.]

[The ALIEN O'NEILL puts the ball back, and picks up a picture of CHARLIE. He remembers O'NEILL running to SARA, who is sitting on a picnic table behind the house. O'NEILL wraps her in a hug and kisses her. Both are laughing.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How was your day?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Fine…Oh, look what came home from school today.</blockquote>

[SARA reaches down and pulls out CHARLIE'S school pictures—the same picture that triggered the flashback.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah…Is Charlie about ready?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Yeah, he was running around here a few minutes ago…</blockquote>

[SARA looks around the yard. Suddenly, there is an explosive sound. A gunshot. O'NEILL and SARA look up at the bedroom window, fear in their faces. O'NEILL stands, then runs for the house.]

<blockquote>SARA 
(screams) 
Charlie!</blockquote>

[The memory ends.]

[The ALIEN O'NEILL is huddled on CHARLIE'S bed, rocking with a pillow wrapped in his arms. SARA walks by the open door, and stops when she sees him. She looks in with concern, then quietly walks away.]

'''INT—SGC—GATE ROOM —DAY'''

[TEAL'C aims and fires his staff weapon at a cluster of the strange blue crystals in a box. The crystals shatter. As alarms go off, CARTER and DANIEL approach the pieces of blasted crystal. TEAL'C follows.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Here's a good one.</blockquote>

[DANIEL picks up a chunk of fused crystal with large tongs.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
(over loudspeaker) 
What's going on in there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You received permission for me to fire my staff weapon in the Gate Room?</blockquote>

[DANIEL and CARTER look shifty.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Absolutely.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C nods as DANIEL and CARTER walk away. Technicians in the Observation Room are running around looking alarmed.]

'''INT—SGC LAB —DAY'''

[DANIEL places the crystal in a scanner while CARTER is examines one of the shards on the work table. TEAL'C watches them.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Now, I noticed that the glassy edge where the crystal was melted looked a lot like the walls of the Gate room after Apophis and his serpent guards came and shot up the place. Take a look at this. We did a complete study trying to figure out what they used. We kept a few pieces and that gave me the idea.</blockquote>

[DANIEL and TEAL'C follow CARTER as she walks over and sits at a computer.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Since your energy weapons are the same as the ones Apophis used, we can compare the blast marks on the two crystals.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Now, I'm telling the computer to build a simulation model. We should see if the energy signatures are the same or not.</blockquote>

[CARTER inputs the new data. As the monitor shows the results, the crystal behind them seems to glow.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hmm. Matches up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It was Goa'uld technology that destroyed the crystals.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, I'd say a whole mess of the staff weapons did it.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C frowns.]

'''INT—SARA O'NEILL'S HOME—DAY'''

[The ALIEN O'NEILL descends the staircase. SARA calls to him as he passes the living room. He stops at the doorway, looking at her.]

<blockquote>SARA 
We haven't talked about Charlie since he died. Why now? What were you doing up there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Do you remember how much fun Charlie used to have playing that…game?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
(frowns) 
Baseball?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Baseball. He loved that game. SARA 
He loved playing…with you.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL stares at SARA. Dropping his eyes, he turns and starts to walk away.]

<blockquote>SARA 
Jack?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I have to get back to the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Back to what?</blockquote>

[The ALIEN looks at SARA; she stares at him blankly.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Stargate. It's…a…big…round…metal…object…A ring…of energy…</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
(Looks away, disgusted) 
You always could spin a line of bull to avoid talking to me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
(enters the room and sits down, staring at SARA with concern) 
What's wrong?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
I've been crying, that's what's wrong. What's with you? Upstairs…I've never seen you like that before. For a second, I thought you were going to cry. Where's all that O'Neill military bravado?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
(searching) 
I don't think I have it.</blockquote>

[SARA smiles, the ALIEN O'NEILL smiles back. He turns, as if looking for something.]

<blockquote>SARA 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Smoke?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Oh, my God! Mike left a casserole in for me…</blockquote>

[SARA runs to the kitchen; the ALIEN O'NEILL follows her.]

'''INT—SGC LAB—DAY'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
The energy signature looks like some kind of gas plasma laser. Wow, I'd love to get this into the spectrometer at Stanford.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What is a Stanford?</blockquote>

[CARTER grins and looks back at TEAL'C. Across the room, DANIEL is looking at the largest fragment of crystal.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hey, did you see this thing inside of it? I didn't think that was there before…</blockquote>

[Inside the crystal, something moves. Then, quickly, the crystal pulses and grows outward, forming a face that resembles DANIEL'S for a second before returning to its original state.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Whoa!
(he jumps back, startled) 
Ja…uh, Captain Doctor! Teal'c!</blockquote>

[CARTER and TEAL'C rush to DANIEL's side.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Bouncing nervously, looking almost frightened) 
Uh…Uh…That…was…me. It was me…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Looking at him) 
Are you okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Just…
(motioning towards the crystal) 
Look…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER steps closer to the crystal and peers in.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
My reflection…so?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(standing well back) 
Closer…</blockquote>

[The crystal pulses, and grows again.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Holy Hannah!</blockquote>

[She jumps back, startled. A face remarkably similar to CARTER'S forms in the crystal…and then it speaks with multiple voices.]

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
Help us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh my God.</blockquote>

[The crystal returns to its former state.]

'''INT—STARGATE CONTROL ROOM —DAY'''

[There is a mug of coffee sloshing around beside the dialing computer. Beyond the coffee, the Stargate is moving, chevrons engaging.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Why's it spinning up? No one's due back.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC LABORATORY—DAY'''

[TEAL'C, CARTER and DANIEL are all standing around the crystal, staring at it in amazement.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It was trying to communicate with us.</blockquote>

[DANIEL and CARTER move closer to the crystal, bending down to look at the spot where the face appeared. Behind them, TEAL'C looks on, a bit more cautious.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't know the magic password. Do you?</blockquote>

[Alarm claxons go off.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(standing) 
That's the Gate…incoming.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
(over the intercom) 
Off world activation. This is not a drill! DANIEL 
I didn't think anyone was due back.</blockquote>

[DANIEL and CARTER run from the lab.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
No one is…</blockquote>

[TEAL'C runs after them.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
(over the intercom) 
Off world activation…this is not a drill! All units report to stations. This is not a drill!</blockquote>

[In the SGC corridors, troops respond. Gathering weapons, they arrive in the Gate Room and take up positions in front of the spinning Stargate.]

'''INT—CONTROL ROOM—DAY'''

[GENERAL HAMMOND runs down the stairs from his office, arriving in the Control Room just as DANIEL, TEAL'C and CARTER run in from the corridor. The wormhole engages.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Where's the iris?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Someone used a remote.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Who? We're all here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, whoever it is has our codes.
(Into the microphone) 
Heads up people!</blockquote>

[In the Gate Room, soldiers aim their weapons at the wormhole. Tension rises in both the Gate Room and the Control Room, until O'NEILL flies through the middle of the Gate. He catches himself and runs a few steps down the ramp.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(waves his arms and yells angrily) 
Hey, what're you guys doing leaving without me?</blockquote>

[In the Control Room, everyone stares in stunned silence. In the Gate Room, O'NEILL looks around at the soldiers pointing guns at him. He takes off his sunglasses and walks down the ramp, gesturing towards them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's with all the ordinance?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(over the microphone) 
Who are you?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL comes to a halt, staring up at him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What do you mean, who am I?
(He looks around, sounding slightly alarmed) 
What the heck's going on here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Good question. Take him into custody.</blockquote>

[Two Airmen take a surprised O'NEILL by the arms and lead him away.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM—DAY'''

[A computer monitor shows O'NEILL pacing in an observation cell.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(looking up at camera) 
Come on, get me out of here!</blockquote>

[HAMMOND, CARTER, TEAL'C, DANIEL and an Airman stand expressionless, watching the monitor.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Tell you what, let me put it nicely…
(He grabs a chair, stands on it and puts his face in the camera, and yells) 
Get me the ''hell'' out of here!</blockquote>

[TEAL'C lifts one eyebrow and CARTER grins.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
If that isn't O'Neill, I want to know who the hell we're looking at.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
We're searching the facility now, sir.</blockquote>

[In the Observation Room, O'NEILL, enraged, picks a pillow off the bunk and throws it at the camera.]

'''EXT—A PARK—DAY'''

[SARA and ALIEN O'NEILL are sitting on a picnic table. Between them are the remnants of a meal. SARA is still nibbling, watching the ALIEN O'NEILL from the corner of her eye.]

<blockquote>SARA 
I'm waiting for you to say I'm sorry…or…I want to get back together or just…whatever's on your mind, anything, just talk to me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
The first time we were together…is this where we came?</blockquote>

[SARA frowns, with seeming puzzlement.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You're angry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Angry…at you? No, I'm not angry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Good. You were.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
When?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
When Charlie died. That's why I left.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
(makes a startled exclamation, and shakes her head) 
You son of a bitch. You walked out on me back then because you thought I was mad at you? You trying to tell me it's my fault?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>SARA 
Why didn't you talk to me? Why didn't you ask?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I should have…but I didn't. So, you were angry?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
No. Yes. What did you expect?
(her voice rises in distress) 
It happened in our house. It was your gun.
(She stops, and calms herself) 
I know you blamed yourself. But if you just opened up for once and let me through that armor of yours…We could have helped each other. I needed you.
(Her voice shakes with emotion)</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
(looks at her calmly) 
I know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
You know? And you can say it? Just like that? After all this time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I'm sorry it took so long. It should've been said sooner.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Is that what you came to tell me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
There's no way to make you understand what I came here to do. You couldn't understand.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Try me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I thought if I could bring Charlie back through the Stargate…</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
(angrily) 
Just shut up about that, would you! Charlie is gone, Jack. And we should be talking about us and what happened and not…</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL gets up, walking away from the picnic table. Rays of blue energy play over his body. He flinches.]

<blockquote>SARA 
Jack? My God.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL collapses, seeming to be struck down by blue bolts of energy from within. SARA watches, horrified, as he writhes in pain. When the blue charge seems to have subsided, she approaches cautiously, clearly worried.]

<blockquote>SARA 
Jack? Jack? What is that? What's happened to you? We've got to get you to the hospital.</blockquote>

[SARA helps the ALIEN O'NEILL get to his feet and supports him as they move toward the car.]

'''INT—SGC OBSERVATION CELL —DAY'''

[DR. FRAISER is leafing through a medical report. O'NEILL is sitting on a bunk, his feet up, his back against the wall. HAMMOND is listening to FRAISER.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
The MRI was negative. The DNA screen matches what we have on file. Uh, physical examination of the body shows some trauma…otherwise he seems perfectly healthy.

HAMMOND 
Healthy doesn't cut it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Well, the evidence says he's Colonel Jack O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you, Doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Then how do you explain the other one?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What other one?
(Looking from HAMMOND to FRAISER) 
What?</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC LABORATORY—DAY'''

[HAMMOND, O'NEILL, TEAL'C and CARTER are clustered around a computer monitor. DANIEL is standing near the door. On the screen is a playback of SG-1's return to the SGC…with the ALIEN imitating O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay, so that's not possible. I didn't come back with you guys.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER works the remote, zooming in on the image of ALIEN O'NEILL. TEAL'C and HAMMOND watch O'NEILL as he leans forward, examining the screen with a frown.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What the hell is that thing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The EM energy in the one intact crystal we brought back from P3X-562 may hold the key to this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Explain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The electromagnetic energy in the crystal has the ability to mimic things. It recreated Daniel and I. It cloned us electronically, at…at least part of us. It seemed to read our thoughts and speech and mimic them too. Now, what if the other O'Neill is energy just like the thing Daniel and I found in the crystal…only a more powerful, more evolved form of it? One powerful enough to copy a whole person, not just faces.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Is that what we're looking at?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Could be.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
And it tried to communicate with you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It asked for our help.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL rubs his forehead, as if it aches. They turn and approach the crystal on the other side of the lab.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
This may not work.</blockquote>

[CARTER approaches the damaged crystal, leaning so that her face is close to the center of it.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hello?</blockquote>

[The crystal moves, and again, a copy of CARTER's face appears.]

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
Hello.</blockquote>

[The voice is also a copy of CARTER'S, although the resonance is slightly different. Surprise fills the faces of HAMMOND and O'NEILL, who have not seen this before. CARTER looks delighted.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What are you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
Energy. Unity. You would describe me thus.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You asked for help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
If I remain here, my energy will disintegrate. I must return.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Why did you not speak before?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
Fear.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Fear of what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
The Goa'uld came to our planet long ago. We were not afraid then and we tried to greet them. One of them touched us as you did and was destroyed by our energy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, that's some kind of welcome wagon you got there.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND and CARTER turn to quickly glare at O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(off their looks) 
Well, it almost killed me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The Goa'ulds must have come through the Gate exploring…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's why it was afraid. We look just like them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
One of the Goa'ulds was killed?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
They gathered all the Unity in one place…and ended it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We confirmed Goa'uld energy weapons did it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Then that pit wasn't a ceremonial place at all. It was some kind of…mass grave?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
I can no longer sustain this form.</blockquote>

[CARTER'S face is reabsorbed into the crystal as it returns to its previous state.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What was that? Any ideas? Any theories? Explanations? Uh…uh…anything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
If…you thought that your entire race was destroyed by the Goa'ulds as punishment for harming one of them, what would you do if you thought it was going to happen again?</blockquote>

[They all stare at DANIEL. O'NEILL stares at the crystal, his expression thoughtful and worried.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM—EVENING'''

[The members of SG-1 are seated around the Briefing table. HAMMOND is approaching his seat at the head when an AIRMAN walks in.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Sir. O'Neill…
(he looks at the real O'NEILL) 
…the other guy…is nowhere in the mountain.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND dismisses the AIRMAN, who pivots and leaves the room. He passes CARTER as ascending the staircase as he descends.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay…we've got a problem. I ran some tests on the crystals in the lab. Whatever the energy inside the crystal is, it's starting to decay. It's ionizing particle radiation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(rises to his feet, alarmed) 
Nuclear radiation?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's not constant and the amounts are not dangerous; but if
(she draws quotation marks in the air) 
O'Neill…It…starts breaking down like the energy in the crystals and it's more powerful than what we have here…then anyone nearby could get a lethal dose of radiation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
If that's true, we have a very serious problem on our hands. Let's hope it's not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh, something else. I've been thinking about where it went. Sir, it was in your locker looking through your personal stuff. Pictures of your family…</blockquote>

[O'NEILL jumps to his feet and races to the phone. They all watch as he dials it.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on, Sara, come on.</blockquote>

[SARA'S answering machine picks up.]

<blockquote>SARA'S VOICE 
Hi. Can't take your call right now, so please leave a message.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL slams down the receiver, whirling around.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I've got to get there.</blockquote>

[He runs down the stairs. CARTER and DANIEL follow.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR—EVENING'''

[CARTER, DANIEL and TEAL'C follow O'NEILL through the corridors. The team is dressed in camouflage fatigues.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
The lab's running tests but I'm pretty sure it's breaking down because Earth's electromagnetic field is stronger than the one on P3X-562. The difference is tearing it apart.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Can we stop it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't know.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND meets them.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We checked with the local police. No one's at your wife's house. One of the local hospitals admitted a J. O'Neill less than an hour ago.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND notices TEAL'C'S staff weapon.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Teal'c, you'll have to leave that here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I have seen your world. I will need it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Can't let you take your weapon, Teal'c.
(He reaches out and removes the staff weapon, handing it to the Airman behind him.) 
You—all of you—will be operating in public so you can't do or say anything that reveals the existence of the SGC or the Stargate.</blockquote>

[With a nod, HAMMOND pulls something from his pocket. He hands TEAL'C a baseball cap with "Chicago" inscribed across the front.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Chicago. The windy city. Home of the Black Hawks, the Bulls and the White Sox.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Don't forget the Cubs.</blockquote>

[The elevator opens, and SG-1 steps on board.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Heads up Colonel. Good luck.</blockquote>

'''INT—HOPSPITAL—NIGHT'''

[The ALIEN O'NEILL is in the far corner of a large multi-bed Emergency Ward. His eyes are closed; his fists are clenched on his chest. SARA is at his bedside, looking away. A monitor beeps. Suddenly, the ALIEN'S eyes fly open.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Charlie…</blockquote>

[SARA turns quickly to look him. The ALIEN turns on his side, gazing back at her. He looks ill; pale and in pain.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
This is the place we brought him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Yes, it is.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN sits up; his eyes focused on the past.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
He died here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Yes, he did. Jack, what's happening to you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I have to get to the Stargate. Can we do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Jack, I know you want to get to the Stargate…but…</blockquote>

[A blast of energy flashes between them, and the ALIEN O'NEILL slams back to the bed, in agony. The power flows through him, then seems to leave. SARA approaches him, reaching out tentatively to help. The energy flares between them and she pulls back, stuck by the electronic pulse, hurt and frightened.]

[The ALIEN O'NEILL cries out as the energy runs through him, causing pain and disruption. SARA, Nurses and patients scream and back away as the power flows over the ALIEN, moving into the area around him. Electrical shorts and explosions start disrupting the equipment, lights and monitors throughout the hospital. The ALIEN falls off the bed, the energy becoming worse. All around the ward, medical professionals and patients cower and flee.]

[SARA runs from the room, trying to escape the electrical charges blowing out lights and other electrical equipment.]

'''EXT—HOSPITAL—NIGHT'''

[Chaos and panic fill the air as people are evacuated from the hospital. Police are trying to control the crowd. Medical personnel and patients mill around ambulances. Local news Channel 8 is trying to cover the scene.]

<blockquote>POLICE OFFICER 
(over his radio) 
All right, people! I need buses up here!
(To another officer) 
Help this news van get in through the crowd.
(Shouting) 
I want these people out of here now! Come on! Move! Move!</blockquote>

[The POLICE OFFICER approaches a Hospital ADMINISTRATOR.]

<blockquote>POLICE OFFICER 
As soon as Colonel O'Neill's team gives the signal, I want you to start shutting the power down inside. All right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ADMINISTRATOR 
All right.</blockquote>

[The OFFICER moves back through the crowd.]

<blockquote>POLICE OFFICER 
(hitting the news van) 
Move back!</blockquote>

'''INT—HOSPITAL CORRIDOR—NIGHT'''

[A nurse is winding a bandage around SARA'S hand. People pass them, moving rapidly through the corridor.]

<blockquote>SARA 
Thanks…</blockquote>

[A light flares and flickers, buzzing menacingly. Both women look up.]

<blockquote>SARA 
Go. I'm all right…go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE 
I'm almost finished.</blockquote>

[SARA looks up as she hears a familiar voice.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(in the distance) 
All right…keep moving, folks. Everybody out! I need everybody out of here now! Let's go!</blockquote>

[SARA stares in disbelief as O'NEILL runs into sight. He seems to be searching every face he passes. He is followed by DANIEL, CARTER, and TEAL'C.]

<blockquote>SARA 
(shocked) 
Jack?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL grabs SARA by the shoulders, looking at her intently.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sara! Are you all right?</blockquote>

[SARA looks at O'NEILL, her mouth opening and closing in wordless shock. She turns to look back to the room where the ALIEN O'NEILL is, then turns back to the real O'NEILL. He hugs her tightly.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's me. This is me, baby.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Jack.</blockquote>

[They hold the embrace, then O'NEILL pulls back. He kisses SARA, then cups her face in his hands.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Are you all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay. I want to hear all about it…but not now. Are you okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Yeah.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>NURSE 
Room three.</blockquote>

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

[O'NEILL turns and moves down the corridor.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Colonel!</blockquote>

[O'NEILL turns, and DANIEL throws him the hazmat hood. Surges of electrical power cause light and noise in the room at the end of the hall. O'NEILL jogs toward the room, followed by TEAL'C. CARTER takes SARA by the shoulder and escorts her and the NURSE in the opposite direction. DANIEL stares after O'NEILL and TEAL'C, then turns and follows CARTER.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's okay.</blockquote>

'''INT—HOSPITAL CORRIDOR OUTSIDE ROOM THREE—NIGHT'''

[As O'NEILL and TEAL'C approach the room, the power is shut off. O'NEILL pulls on the hazmat hood; TEAL'C takes flashlights out of the bag has. He hands one to O'NEILL and turning them on, they enter Room Three. Bursts of blue energy still run over the equipment. They spot the ALIEN, crumpled on the floor beside the bed. Blue energy runs over him.]

[DANIEL and CARTER run down the corridors with flashlights, following their teammates' route. CARTER is carrying a radiation detector. They join O'NEILL and TEAL'C in Room Three.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Listen Colonel; it's buried in the red.
(into the radio) 
How we doing with the power?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ADMINISTRATOR 
(over the radio) 
I turned off as much of the grid as possible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They've shut down all they can.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL turns to look at the ALIEN. He moves across the room, approaching him cautiously. Looking afraid, the ALIEN sits up, leaning against a cabinet. He moves with jerky motions, and looks even worse than before. When he speaks, his words are halting, and delivered with great effort.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's all right.
(he pulls out his pistol and places it on the ground) 
I'm not going to hurt you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Please…stay back. I…do not want to…harm you…again. My energy…is…about to…</blockquote>

[The ALIEN screams as sizzling energy bolts bursts forth, throwing O'NEILL and the others back. O'NEILL hits a rack of supplies, and falls to the ground. His teammates hit a wall. They stagger to their feet. CARTER picks up the radiation detector.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Radiation has dropped off.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
O'Neill…are you all right?</blockquote>

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

[They look up as the lights come back on.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(into radio) 
What's happening?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ADMINISTRATOR 
(over radio) 
We've got twenty percent emergency power.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Radiation's low enough. We should be all right.</blockquote>

[SG-1 pull off the hazmat headgear. O'NEILL looks at the ALIEN.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
You have come to destroy me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No. That's not true.
(He gets to his feet and walks to the ALIEN) 
I know you weren't trying to kill me back on the planet.
(He kneels in front of the ALIEN, speaking gently) 
The Goa'ulds—the people who destroyed your race—they're our enemies too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I…understand…Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why did you come here?</blockquote>

[Throughout his speech, the ALIEN flashes back to the moment of their first meeting, when O'NEILL touched the crystal, and was sent flying. When he stood over his unconscious form and reached a decision. The moment when SARA and O'NEILL heard the gunshot.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
When my energy hurt you…I tried…to heal you. But I did not understand your…injury. So I looked in…to your mind. I saw the mind…of a warrior. I feared it, as I feared those who destroyed my race. I tried to make you well…before my mistake was discovered; before the others returned to…destroy me. I understand now. Your deepest pain was not the physical…injury I had caused. Your pain was from an empty place in your heart where Charlie once was. I thought if I could bring Charlie to you, it would make you well. I did not understand his death meant he could no longer exist as flesh and blood. Physical death…does not have the same meaning…to us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Are you dying now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Yes. I could not bring Charlie to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Charlie's gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
No…He's…in here.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL reaches out a hand to touch O'NEILL'S heart. By the time the hand reaches O'NEILL, the ALIEN has become a copy of CHARLIE. O'NEILL stares at him in disbelief.]

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

[O'NEILL looks stunned. Around him, DANIEL, CARTER and TEAL'C look on with concern.]

<blockquote>ALIEN CHARLIE 
You cannot change what happened that day, just as I cannot change the day that the Goa'uld destroyed my world. I am showing you what of Charlie is still there…inside you.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL and the ALIEN CHARLIE stare at each other in a moment of silent communication.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(softly) 
Jack…Jack….</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Radiation's still low, but I don't know for how long.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Charlie) 
We have to go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN CHARLIE 
(smiling) 
Is Sara O'Neill still here?</blockquote>

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

[The ALIEN CHARLIE grins as O'NEILL'S eyes travel over his face.]

'''INT—HOSPITAL CORRIDOR—NIGHT'''

[O'NEILL and the ALIEN CHARLIE walk hand in hand down the hospital hallway. CARTER, TEAL'C and DANIEL follow.]

<blockquote>VOICE OVER THE RADIO 
Delta Five Point Bravo, our ETA is five minutes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Chopper's inbound.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You guys go ahead.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL and the ALIEN CHARLIE approach SARA, who is standing alone in front of the Hospital exit. She stares at the small form of the ALIEN CHARLIE in shock. He looks up at her with trust.]

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

<blockquote>SARA 
Oh my God…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's not Charlie.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN CHARLIE looks up at him, then over to SARA.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sara…</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Shh…</blockquote>

[The ALIEN CHARLIE holds out a hand, and SARA takes it with her bandaged one. They hold hands for a moment, SARA blinking away tears as she drinks in the sight of the boy's face. The ALIEN CHARLIE pulls his hand back gently.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sara…I have to get him back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
(nods) 
To the Stargate?</blockquote>

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

[SARA holds back tears and O'NEILL wraps her in his arms while the ALIEN CHARLIE looks on, his expression sympathetic.]

<blockquote>SARA 
(against O'NEILL'S neck) 
Whatever that is. The other guy…You know what he said?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(softly) 
I have a pretty fair idea.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
We were pretty great together, weren't we?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We were the greatest.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL kisses her neck as SARA blinks back more tears. Finally, they pull apart. O'NEILL caresses her face with one hand while she watches him, then breaks contact. He takes the ALIEN CHARLIE'S hand and walks through the door, leaving SARA standing there. She turns to watch them depart.]

<blockquote>SARA 
(whispering) 
Take care of yourself, Jack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SGC—GATE ROOM—NIGHT</blockquote>

[O'NEILL and the ALIEN CHARLIE stand in front of the active Stargate. DANIEL, CARTER and TEAL'C are watch from the bottom of the ramp. O'NEILL walks up the ramp, stopping in front of the wormhole to look at them with a small smile.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Keep the lights on. I'll be back.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL reaches out for the ALIEN CHARLIE'S hand. CHARLIE puts his hand in O'NEILL's and together, they walk through the wormhole.]

'''TEASER'''

'''EXT—PLANET—DAY'''

<blockquote>TEAL'C walks into view against a bright blue sky, wearing sunglasses.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Colonel O'Neill.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL walks up behind TEAL'C, also wearing sunglasses.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What've we got here, Teal'c?</blockquote>

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

[TEAL'C and O'NEILL stand overlooking a pit. The ground around them is bright yellow sand. In the center of the pit are crystal growths, the same bright shade of blue as the sky. DANIEL and CARTER join TEAL'C and O'NEILL. They are also wearing sunglasses; apparently the combination of sun and yellow sand is quite blinding. All three humans are also wearing gloves; O'NEILL'S are fingerless.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Wow.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It may indicate a…uh, civilization of some kind…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, let's spread out and take a look.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I think there's a way down over here…</blockquote>

[The team descends toward the FRED and the crystals at the bottom of the pit.]

'''EXT—CRYSTAL PIT —DAY'''

[While DANIEL films the landscape and the crystals, CARTER kneels beside one of the bigger clusters to examine it.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Crystals…Granite…not volcanic. I don't see any that aren't broken.</blockquote>

[DANIEL squats beside another cluster and picks up two shards. They almost seem to be glowing.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
These pieces might fit together.</blockquote>

[DANIEL spots something. He puts down the two pieces of crystals he's holding and moves to another cluster.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Here's a whole one.</blockquote>

[CARTER joins DANIEL beside a crystal that seems to be more complete than the others. DANIEL brushes the yellow sand off it. The exposed crystal is about twelve inches long, and three or four inches in diameter. It's multifaceted.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Looks like they've been blasted apart by something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's damaged.</blockquote>

[Close up, small flecks of blue crystal are visible in the yellow sand. So is a large crack in the seemingly complete crystal.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hmm…I don't see any other whole ones, do you?</blockquote>

[While DANIEL continues to clear sand from the largest crystal, CARTER gets up to examine other clusters. TEAL'C is watching CARTER and DANIEL from an area near the FRED.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C looks down at O'NEILL, who is several feet below him, on the side of an even deeper pit. O'NEILL gestures to TEAL'C to let him know he is going to look below. O'NEILL walks away from his team, toward another area where slightly larger crystals are clustered. They too, are broken, but the pieces remaining seem to be larger than the crystals DANIEL and CARTER found. In the middle of the broken crystals, one large, complete one stands alone…it seems to be almost three feet tall, and about eight inches in diameter. It is surrounded by shards of smaller crystals. O'NEILL cautiously approaches it.]

[Though a blue-tinted perspective, O'NEILL looks down at something. It's as though someone is looking from within the large crystal. O'NEILL squats down beside the crystal and takes off his sunglasses to examine it. He reaches out… From within the blue-tinted vision, O'NEILL'S hand comes closer and closer… Suddenly, O'NEILL cries out as he is sent flying backward. He loses his weapon and hits the ground. He falls, unconscious, on the yellow sand.]

'''EXT—CRYSTAL PLANET—DAY'''

[On the rise between the two pits, TEAL'C stands guard between the divided SG-1. CARTER and DANIEL climb to meet him.]

'''EXT—CRYSTAL PLANET—DAY'''

[As O'NEILL lies unconscious on the yellow sand, someone stands over him. It's a second O'NEILL. He looks both puzzled and concerned as he gazes down at the unconscious form beneath him. The ALIEN O'NEILL picks up O'NEILL'S hat, looks at it, and looks down at O'NEILL again.]

'''EXT—CRYSTAL PLANET—DAY'''

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to Teal'c)</blockquote>

<blockquote>Where's the Colonel?</blockquote>

[TEAL'C points to where O'NEILL disappeared.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(over radio) 
Jack, we've finished our recon, loaded up FRED and we're ready to head back to the Gate. Is this…am I using this right?</blockquote>

[Over by the unconscious O'NEILL, the ALIEN O'NEILL ignores DANIEL'S transmission as he picks up O'NEILL'S weapon.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(yelling) 
We're ready to head out, sir!</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL looks to where the shouts are coming from. He looks back down at O'NEILL, still lying unconscious on the ground.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(yelling) 
Colonel!</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL seems to come to a decision. He heads toward the team, leaving O'NEILL lying on the ground.]

'''INT—SGC GATE ROOM—DAY'''

[DANIEL, TEAL'C and CARTER walk through the Gate back into the SGC, followed by the ALIEN O'NEILL, who pauses at the top of the ramp, looking at everything with amazement. At the bottom of the ramp, an airman with some kind of radiation monitor waves a wand over him.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Radiation level check…all clear.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL looks up. Watching their arrival, HAMMOND stands with the technicians in the Control Room.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(over the intercom) 
Welcome back, SG-1. Debriefing will commence at oh-nine-hundred. As CARTER, TEAL'C and DANIEL leave the Gate Room, the ALIEN O'NEILL takes off his sunglasses and gazes around at his new surroundings.</blockquote>

<blockquote>END TEASER</blockquote>

<blockquote>ROLL CREDITS</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM—DAY'''

[TEAL'C, CARTER, HAMMOND, and DANIEL are seated around the table. CARTER is talking. TEAL'C is looking at some notes. DANIEL seems to be looking at a book. An Airman is standing guard by the door.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
The samples we brought back are being analyzed, and we explored a ten kilometer radius around the Gate without finding any sign of recent Goa'uld mining activity. In fact, there's no indication that Goa'ulds or anyone else have been through that Gate in a thousand years.</blockquote>

[ALIEN O'NEILL is standing with his back to the room, looking through the observation window at the Gate Room below.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Tell me about these crystals.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uhm, we found thousands in a pit near the Stargate. Since we didn't find them anywhere else on the planet, it's likely that they were gathered and put there.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL flashes back to the moment the real O'NEILL stood over the crystal.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Early Greek cultures valued crystals and gemstones; perhaps the pit has some religious…or ceremonial…significance.</blockquote>

[ALIEN O'NEILL flashes back to O'NEILL reaching out to touch the crystal, then his subsequent shock and unconscious landing.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Your report doesn't mention any local population.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
There's no evidence of a developed culture; no roads, villages, settlements, nothing…</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL rejoins the group at the table.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm with Daniel…
(indicates a photo of the damaged crystal she and DANIEL found, displayed on a computer monitor) 
We didn't find any unbroken crystals but we have this one and pieces of a few larger ones back in decon right now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Flag this one, Colonel. SG-1 is on stand down until your next mission comes up. Dismissed.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND leaves the room. SG-1 pack up their things.]

'''INT—SGC LOCKER ROOM—DAY'''

[ALIEN O'NEILL runs his fingers over the nametag on O'NEILL'S locker. He opens the door and takes out a leather jacket, pulling it on over his civilian clothing. Looking down, the ALIEN O'NEILL notices a Van Dyck cigar box on the bottom of the locker. He pulls it out and sits on the bench to open it. Inside are a wedding ring, a leather key case, and a pile of photographs. There's one of O'NEILL as a young soldier, several of a small child, and finally, one of O'NEILL and CHARLIE with a trophy.]

[The ALIEN O'NEILL remembers throwing a ball in the air and catching it— CHARLIE hitting the ball with a bat—CHARLIE jumping with excitement. Obviously, this ALIEN has some of the real O'NEILL'S memories.]

[The ALIEN O'NEILL pauses at a photo of the real O'NEILL, SARA and CHARLIE standing in front of a large blue house, just as CARTER enters the locker room.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hey, Colonel.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL looks up at CARTER, then looks down at the letters he's just reached at the bottom of the box. The top one is addressed to HQ US Airforce, Att Col. Jack O'Neill, 890 AF Pentagon. The return address is Sara O'Neill, 842 Cranbroke Lane, Winter Park, CO 80310.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh, listen, no offense, Colonel, but this becomes the women's locker room in… 
(she looks at her watch) 
uh, now. You know how I hate those sandy planets. 
(CARTER smiles and looks over at the ALIEN O'NEILL, who doesn't appear to have heard her. She looks impatient) 
You don't have to hurry on my account.</blockquote>

[CARTER notices what he's holding and walks a little closer, sort of peering over his shoulder.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Nice…You have a family.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(nods) 
I'm an auntie myself. My brother moved to San Diego, so I don't get to see them much…He has two kids now, boy and a girl. I miss 'em like hell; don't get there near enough.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL rises, puts the box back in the locker and closes the door, paying no attention to her. CARTER looks at him, smiling and nodding.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I can see you feel the same way.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Goodbye, Sam.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Bye.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL exits the Locker Room, almost running into DANIEL on his way in. DANIEL does a little dance step to avoid him. CARTER looks at DANIEL with surprise as he enters the locker room.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack seems very…focused.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah. He was looking at pictures of his family. He must be in a hurry to get home. I didn't even know he was married.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, he isn't.
(off CARTER's astonished look) 
Um…he was but they separated after his son…died.</blockquote>

[CARTER blinks, speechless, and DANIEL exits the locker room.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR'''

[The ALIEN O'NEILL walks down a busy corridor. He turns to look at TEAL'C, who intercepts him at a crossover.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Colonel O'Neill. You are departing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You said one day you would show me your world. I would like to see it now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Another time.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL walks away. TEAL'C looks after him, blinking in apparent puzzlement.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR—DAY'''

<blockquote>CARTER and DANIEL are walking, deep in conversation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I've known the man for months and he doesn't say word one about a life outside this place and I'm thinking he just doesn't have one. What else don't I know about him?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, he doesn't really tell you much until he gets to know you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, that's an understatement.</blockquote>

[DANIEL and CARTER arrive at the lab. They enter and approach a young female scientist, who is working with the damaged crystal they found.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
All right, what do we have here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SCIENTIST 
Passed all the decontamination protocols; but I noticed it's got a low-level EM field you should check out. Either that or my fridge magnets fell of the wall by themselves.</blockquote>

[CARTER and the SCIENTIST chuckle.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(to the scientist) 
I'm sorry…EM?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Electromagnetic energy.
(to scientist) 
Thanks.</blockquote>

[The SCIENTIST nods and walks away. CARTER wheels the table with the crystal closer to a counter where several smaller crystals have been placed. She slips on gloves.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
So um…tell me more about the Colonel. What happened to his son?</blockquote>

[DANIEL looks at CARTER, looks away, and frowns.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Charlie…accidentally killed himself with Jack's personal gun.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh, God. That's horrible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack never forgave himself. He holed up and turned his back on the world for uh…a long time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I can imagine. I don't know what I'd do. 
(turns to examine the crystal through a magnifying glass) 
What about his wife?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sara? I don't think they've seen each other since he joined SG-1. He hasn't said anything about a visit but like I said…</blockquote>

<blockquote>Carter 
(nodding) 
He doesn't tell you much.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Right. Look at this…</blockquote>

[She runs her fingers over the edge of the large crystal. DANIEL bends down to look.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
See the edge of this crystal here? How it's glassy, like its been melted?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Can you tell what did it? For me, it might shed a little light on what the significance of the pit was and who…put them there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It would take extreme temperatures to melt quartz crystal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Lightning?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Maybe…but it's too precise, too clean.
(CARTER looks up suddenly) 
I think I've seen a cut like this before. Here, in this facility.</blockquote>

'''EXT—SARA O'NEILL'S HOME—DAY'''

[The ALIEN O'NEILL is looking at the photo of O'NEILL, SARA and CHARLIE, comparing it to the house he is standing in front of. The front door opens, and SARA walks out.]

<blockquote>SARA 
Dad, I left some ice tea in there for you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
(trying out different intonations) 
Hello, Sara. Hello, Sara.</blockquote>

'''EXT—SARAH O'NEILL'S HOME—DAY'''

[SARA has her sleeves rolled up, working on the engine of an old Mustang.]

<blockquote>SARA 
It may be time to face facts, Dad. This old thing has seen better days.</blockquote>

[SARA'S father, MIKE, carries a pallet of plants into view.]

<blockquote>MIKE 
A girl shouldn't be so quick to give up on the aged…makes a father worry.</blockquote>

[MIKE enters the house. SARA doesn't notice, she keeps talking.]

<blockquote>SARA 
Come on, Dad, I'm serious. If I keep…</blockquote>

[SARA stops midsentence as she walks around the far side of the car and sees the ALIEN O'NEILL standing awkwardly in the driveway.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Hello, Sara.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Been there long?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Could've said something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I did.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
(sighs) 
Right…you did.</blockquote>

[SARA returns to the car. The ALIEN O'NEILL walks awkwardly to join her. He stares into her face, then looks down at the engine.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Something wrong?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
I think it's the ignition…But you didn't come about the car.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>SARA 
So,…what? You decided you'd just…show up? Waltz back into my life? Is that it?</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL looks around. Through a blue haze, he notices Charlie's bike and basketball hoop.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Yes.</blockquote>

[SARA releases a burst of air and shakes her head. She sighs.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I need to find Charlie. Is he here?</blockquote>

[SARA looks at the ALIEN O'NEILL, shocked.]

<blockquote>SARA 
Charlie?</blockquote>

[SARA sounds shaken. She takes a step toward the ALIEN O'NEILL, frowning with worry as she searches his face. The ALIEN O'NEILL grasps SARA by the arms. His gaze becomes intent.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I need Charlie. That's his bicycle, isn't it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
I kept some of his things.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Yes. I know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
(slowly) 
Jack, what are you doing? You're scaring me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
It's important, Sara. 
(without breaking their gaze, he shouts out) 
Charlie?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Don't! Let go of me.</blockquote>

[SARA shakes him off. She slowly backs away from the ALIEN O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>SARA 
What the hell is wrong with you? Is this your idea of a joke? Just get away from me.</blockquote>

[SARA turns and runs into the house.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Sara!
(to himself) 
I don't understand.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL stares at the bicycle again. He is startled by MIKE coming out of the house behind him.]

<blockquote>MIKE 
Son, if upsetting her is your way of trying to win a woman's heart, it's a stupid one. Anyone ever tell you that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I think you just did.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MIKE 
(shakes his head) 
Come on in here.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL follows him inside.]

'''INT—SGC—TEAL'S QUARTERS—DAY'''

[The room is very bare and utilitarian. An exposed lightbulb in a wire cage illuminates the room. A bed stands against one wall; a TV set is on a cart in the corner of the room. A desk on the side contains a few books and a desk lamp. TEAL'C enters.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
(over loudspeaker) 
Attention! All new personnel, report to the Auditorium, sublevel one, for orientation at fourteen-thirty hours.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C stares at the blank television in what seems to be surprise, then picks up the remote and turns it on. The first program is a news report. On the screen, people run around in confusion.]

<blockquote>FIRST NEWS ANNOUNCER 
…after last night's rally turned ugly. Protestors clashed with police, and police have announced that a dusk to dawn curfew is now in effect. No word yet on any casualties.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C stares at the television. A second announcer takes over.]

<blockquote>SECOND NEWS ANNOUNCER 
In financial news, the bull was annihilated today with bears leaving a sea of red behind them…</blockquote>

[TEAL'C changes the channel, finding a music video. A figure outlined in fire throws an object at the camera. TEAL'C frowns as he touches his ear. He changes the channel to another news station.]

<blockquote>THIRD NEWS ANNOUNCER 
…for the third straight day. And no one on either side could say how it started in the first place.</blockquote>

[CARTER and DANIEL rush in, slightly out of breath. TEAL'C turns off the television set.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Teal'c! We need your help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Your world is a strange place.</blockquote>

[CARTER nods.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(stops, gives Teal'c an odd, puzzled look) 
So is yours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Listen, uh…We need to stop by the armory and sign out your staff weapon.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Are we being deployed?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No! No, it's okay. Come on.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C puts down the remote and follows DANIEL and CARTER.]

'''INT—SARA O'NEILL'S HOME—DAY'''

[The ALIEN O'NEILL and MIKE are in CHARLIE'S old room. The ALIEN O'NEILL is touching various toys, looking around at awards, artwork, photographs…the remnants of CHARLIE.]

<blockquote>MIKE 
Parents shouldn't outlive their children. It isn't natural.</blockquote>

[MIKE studies the ALIEN O'NEILL, who turns away. He remembers CHARLIE running toward him, laughing.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
He loved to laugh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MIKE 
(chuckles) 
Yeah. Sometimes I can still hear him laughing at one of my bad jokes. Sara kept all his things…like that bike outside. I guess it's her way of keeping him around awhile.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL has a memory of CHARLIE smiling and giving a 'thumbs-up' signal.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I thought I would find Charlie here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>MIKE 
Look around, you still might.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
He's gone. What do I do?</blockquote>

[MIKE looks at the ALIEN O'NEILL with concern.]

<blockquote>MIKE 
Sara comes up here and talks to him sometimes and it helps her. If it helps you, I'm…I'm glad you're here.</blockquote>

[MIKE steps out of the doorway and into the room as the ALIEN O'NEILL moves around, touching a model rocket.]

<blockquote>MIKE 
You know, Jack, for an Irishman you never were much of a talker but…that never mattered. I'll give you that much…you married my daughter.
(MIKE frowns, watching the ALIEN touch CHARLIE'S things) 
Say what you need to Charlie if that's all you come here for, but Sara is not over you yet, so…You break her heart again and, God help you, I'll make you wish you never did.</blockquote>

[MIKE leaves the ALIEN O'NEILL alone in CHARLIE'S room. The ALIEN O'NEILL picks up a baseball and remembers pitching the ball to CHARLIE, who swings at it and hits it, cheering as the ball goes flying.]

[The ALIEN O'NEILL puts the ball back, and picks up a picture of CHARLIE. He remembers O'NEILL running to SARA, who is sitting on a picnic table behind the house. O'NEILL wraps her in a hug and kisses her. Both are laughing.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How was your day?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Fine…Oh, look what came home from school today.</blockquote>

[SARA reaches down and pulls out CHARLIE'S school pictures—the same picture that triggered the flashback.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ah…Is Charlie about ready?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Yeah, he was running around here a few minutes ago…</blockquote>

[SARA looks around the yard. Suddenly, there is an explosive sound. A gunshot. O'NEILL and SARA look up at the bedroom window, fear in their faces. O'NEILL stands, then runs for the house.]

<blockquote>SARA 
(screams) 
Charlie!</blockquote>

[The memory ends.]

[The ALIEN O'NEILL is huddled on CHARLIE'S bed, rocking with a pillow wrapped in his arms. SARA walks by the open door, and stops when she sees him. She looks in with concern, then quietly walks away.]

'''INT—SGC—GATE ROOM —DAY'''

[TEAL'C aims and fires his staff weapon at a cluster of the strange blue crystals in a box. The crystals shatter. As alarms go off, CARTER and DANIEL approach the pieces of blasted crystal. TEAL'C follows.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Here's a good one.</blockquote>

[DANIEL picks up a chunk of fused crystal with large tongs.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
(over loudspeaker) 
What's going on in there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
You received permission for me to fire my staff weapon in the Gate Room?</blockquote>

[DANIEL and CARTER look shifty.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Absolutely.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C nods as DANIEL and CARTER walk away. Technicians in the Observation Room are running around looking alarmed.]

'''INT—SGC LAB —DAY'''

[DANIEL places the crystal in a scanner while CARTER is examines one of the shards on the work table. TEAL'C watches them.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Now, I noticed that the glassy edge where the crystal was melted looked a lot like the walls of the Gate room after Apophis and his serpent guards came and shot up the place. Take a look at this. We did a complete study trying to figure out what they used. We kept a few pieces and that gave me the idea.</blockquote>

[DANIEL and TEAL'C follow CARTER as she walks over and sits at a computer.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Since your energy weapons are the same as the ones Apophis used, we can compare the blast marks on the two crystals.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Now, I'm telling the computer to build a simulation model. We should see if the energy signatures are the same or not.</blockquote>

[CARTER inputs the new data. As the monitor shows the results, the crystal behind them seems to glow.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hmm. Matches up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It was Goa'uld technology that destroyed the crystals.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah, I'd say a whole mess of the staff weapons did it.</blockquote>

[TEAL'C frowns.]

'''INT—SARA O'NEILL'S HOME—DAY'''

[The ALIEN O'NEILL descends the staircase. SARA calls to him as he passes the living room. He stops at the doorway, looking at her.]

<blockquote>SARA 
We haven't talked about Charlie since he died. Why now? What were you doing up there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Do you remember how much fun Charlie used to have playing that…game?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
(frowns) 
Baseball?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Baseball. He loved that game. SARA 
He loved playing…with you.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL stares at SARA. Dropping his eyes, he turns and starts to walk away.]

<blockquote>SARA 
Jack?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I have to get back to the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Back to what?</blockquote>

[The ALIEN looks at SARA; she stares at him blankly.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Stargate. It's…a…big…round…metal…object…A ring…of energy…</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
(Looks away, disgusted) 
You always could spin a line of bull to avoid talking to me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
(enters the room and sits down, staring at SARA with concern) 
What's wrong?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
I've been crying, that's what's wrong. What's with you? Upstairs…I've never seen you like that before. For a second, I thought you were going to cry. Where's all that O'Neill military bravado?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
(searching) 
I don't think I have it.</blockquote>

[SARA smiles, the ALIEN O'NEILL smiles back. He turns, as if looking for something.]

<blockquote>SARA 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Smoke?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Oh, my God! Mike left a casserole in for me…</blockquote>

[SARA runs to the kitchen; the ALIEN O'NEILL follows her.]

'''INT—SGC LAB—DAY'''

<blockquote>CARTER 
The energy signature looks like some kind of gas plasma laser. Wow, I'd love to get this into the spectrometer at Stanford.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What is a Stanford?</blockquote>

[CARTER grins and looks back at TEAL'C. Across the room, DANIEL is looking at the largest fragment of crystal.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hey, did you see this thing inside of it? I didn't think that was there before…</blockquote>

[Inside the crystal, something moves. Then, quickly, the crystal pulses and grows outward, forming a face that resembles DANIEL'S for a second before returning to its original state.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Whoa!
(he jumps back, startled) 
Ja…uh, Captain Doctor! Teal'c!</blockquote>

[CARTER and TEAL'C rush to DANIEL's side.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yeah?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Bouncing nervously, looking almost frightened) 
Uh…Uh…That…was…me. It was me…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Looking at him) 
Are you okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Just…
(motioning towards the crystal) 
Look…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER steps closer to the crystal and peers in.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
My reflection…so?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(standing well back) 
Closer…</blockquote>

[The crystal pulses, and grows again.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Holy Hannah!</blockquote>

[She jumps back, startled. A face remarkably similar to CARTER'S forms in the crystal…and then it speaks with multiple voices.]

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
Help us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh my God.</blockquote>

[The crystal returns to its former state.]

'''INT—STARGATE CONTROL ROOM —DAY'''

[There is a mug of coffee sloshing around beside the dialing computer. Beyond the coffee, the Stargate is moving, chevrons engaging.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
Why's it spinning up? No one's due back.</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC LABORATORY—DAY'''

[TEAL'C, CARTER and DANIEL are all standing around the crystal, staring at it in amazement.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It was trying to communicate with us.</blockquote>

[DANIEL and CARTER move closer to the crystal, bending down to look at the spot where the face appeared. Behind them, TEAL'C looks on, a bit more cautious.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't know the magic password. Do you?</blockquote>

[Alarm claxons go off.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(standing) 
That's the Gate…incoming.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DAVIS 
(over the intercom) 
Off world activation. This is not a drill! DANIEL 
I didn't think anyone was due back.</blockquote>

[DANIEL and CARTER run from the lab.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
No one is…</blockquote>

[TEAL'C runs after them.]

<blockquote>DAVIS 
(over the intercom) 
Off world activation…this is not a drill! All units report to stations. This is not a drill!</blockquote>

[In the SGC corridors, troops respond. Gathering weapons, they arrive in the Gate Room and take up positions in front of the spinning Stargate.]

'''INT—CONTROL ROOM—DAY'''

[GENERAL HAMMOND runs down the stairs from his office, arriving in the Control Room just as DANIEL, TEAL'C and CARTER run in from the corridor. The wormhole engages.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Where's the iris?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Someone used a remote.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Who? We're all here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, whoever it is has our codes.
(Into the microphone) 
Heads up people!</blockquote>

[In the Gate Room, soldiers aim their weapons at the wormhole. Tension rises in both the Gate Room and the Control Room, until O'NEILL flies through the middle of the Gate. He catches himself and runs a few steps down the ramp.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(waves his arms and yells angrily) 
Hey, what're you guys doing leaving without me?</blockquote>

[In the Control Room, everyone stares in stunned silence. In the Gate Room, O'NEILL looks around at the soldiers pointing guns at him. He takes off his sunglasses and walks down the ramp, gesturing towards them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's with all the ordinance?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(over the microphone) 
Who are you?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL comes to a halt, staring up at him.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What do you mean, who am I?
(He looks around, sounding slightly alarmed) 
What the heck's going on here?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Good question. Take him into custody.</blockquote>

[Two Airmen take a surprised O'NEILL by the arms and lead him away.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM—DAY'''

[A computer monitor shows O'NEILL pacing in an observation cell.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(looking up at camera) 
Come on, get me out of here!</blockquote>

[HAMMOND, CARTER, TEAL'C, DANIEL and an Airman stand expressionless, watching the monitor.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Tell you what, let me put it nicely…
(He grabs a chair, stands on it and puts his face in the camera, and yells) 
Get me the ''hell'' out of here!</blockquote>

[TEAL'C lifts one eyebrow and CARTER grins.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
If that isn't O'Neill, I want to know who the hell we're looking at.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
We're searching the facility now, sir.</blockquote>

[In the Observation Room, O'NEILL, enraged, picks a pillow off the bunk and throws it at the camera.]

'''EXT—A PARK—DAY'''

[SARA and ALIEN O'NEILL are sitting on a picnic table. Between them are the remnants of a meal. SARA is still nibbling, watching the ALIEN O'NEILL from the corner of her eye.]

<blockquote>SARA 
I'm waiting for you to say I'm sorry…or…I want to get back together or just…whatever's on your mind, anything, just talk to me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
The first time we were together…is this where we came?</blockquote>

[SARA frowns, with seeming puzzlement.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You're angry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Angry…at you? No, I'm not angry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Good. You were.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
When?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
When Charlie died. That's why I left.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
(makes a startled exclamation, and shakes her head) 
You son of a bitch. You walked out on me back then because you thought I was mad at you? You trying to tell me it's my fault?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>SARA 
Why didn't you talk to me? Why didn't you ask?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I should have…but I didn't. So, you were angry?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
No. Yes. What did you expect?
(her voice rises in distress) 
It happened in our house. It was your gun.
(She stops, and calms herself) 
I know you blamed yourself. But if you just opened up for once and let me through that armor of yours…We could have helped each other. I needed you.
(Her voice shakes with emotion)</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
(looks at her calmly) 
I know.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
You know? And you can say it? Just like that? After all this time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I'm sorry it took so long. It should've been said sooner.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Is that what you came to tell me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
There's no way to make you understand what I came here to do. You couldn't understand.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Try me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I thought if I could bring Charlie back through the Stargate…</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
(angrily) 
Just shut up about that, would you! Charlie is gone, Jack. And we should be talking about us and what happened and not…</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL gets up, walking away from the picnic table. Rays of blue energy play over his body. He flinches.]

<blockquote>SARA 
Jack? My God.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL collapses, seeming to be struck down by blue bolts of energy from within. SARA watches, horrified, as he writhes in pain. When the blue charge seems to have subsided, she approaches cautiously, clearly worried.]

<blockquote>SARA 
Jack? Jack? What is that? What's happened to you? We've got to get you to the hospital.</blockquote>

[SARA helps the ALIEN O'NEILL get to his feet and supports him as they move toward the car.]

'''INT—SGC OBSERVATION CELL —DAY'''

[DR. FRAISER is leafing through a medical report. O'NEILL is sitting on a bunk, his feet up, his back against the wall. HAMMOND is listening to FRAISER.]

<blockquote>FRAISER 
The MRI was negative. The DNA screen matches what we have on file. Uh, physical examination of the body shows some trauma…otherwise he seems perfectly healthy.

HAMMOND 
Healthy doesn't cut it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FRAISER 
Well, the evidence says he's Colonel Jack O'Neill.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you, Doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Then how do you explain the other one?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What other one?
(Looking from HAMMOND to FRAISER) 
What?</blockquote>

'''INT—SGC LABORATORY—DAY'''

[HAMMOND, O'NEILL, TEAL'C and CARTER are clustered around a computer monitor. DANIEL is standing near the door. On the screen is a playback of SG-1's return to the SGC…with the ALIEN imitating O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay, so that's not possible. I didn't come back with you guys.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER works the remote, zooming in on the image of ALIEN O'NEILL. TEAL'C and HAMMOND watch O'NEILL as he leans forward, examining the screen with a frown.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What the hell is that thing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The EM energy in the one intact crystal we brought back from P3X-562 may hold the key to this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Explain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The electromagnetic energy in the crystal has the ability to mimic things. It recreated Daniel and I. It cloned us electronically, at…at least part of us. It seemed to read our thoughts and speech and mimic them too. Now, what if the other O'Neill is energy just like the thing Daniel and I found in the crystal…only a more powerful, more evolved form of it? One powerful enough to copy a whole person, not just faces.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Is that what we're looking at?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Could be.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
And it tried to communicate with you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It asked for our help.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL rubs his forehead, as if it aches. They turn and approach the crystal on the other side of the lab.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
This may not work.</blockquote>

[CARTER approaches the damaged crystal, leaning so that her face is close to the center of it.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hello?</blockquote>

[The crystal moves, and again, a copy of CARTER's face appears.]

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
Hello.</blockquote>

[The voice is also a copy of CARTER'S, although the resonance is slightly different. Surprise fills the faces of HAMMOND and O'NEILL, who have not seen this before. CARTER looks delighted.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
What are you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
Energy. Unity. You would describe me thus.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You asked for help.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
If I remain here, my energy will disintegrate. I must return.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Why did you not speak before?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
Fear.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Fear of what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
The Goa'uld came to our planet long ago. We were not afraid then and we tried to greet them. One of them touched us as you did and was destroyed by our energy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, that's some kind of welcome wagon you got there.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND and CARTER turn to quickly glare at O'NEILL.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(off their looks) 
Well, it almost killed me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The Goa'ulds must have come through the Gate exploring…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's why it was afraid. We look just like them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
One of the Goa'ulds was killed?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
They gathered all the Unity in one place…and ended it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We confirmed Goa'uld energy weapons did it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Then that pit wasn't a ceremonial place at all. It was some kind of…mass grave?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CRYSTAL 
I can no longer sustain this form.</blockquote>

[CARTER'S face is reabsorbed into the crystal as it returns to its previous state.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What was that? Any ideas? Any theories? Explanations? Uh…uh…anything?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
If…you thought that your entire race was destroyed by the Goa'ulds as punishment for harming one of them, what would you do if you thought it was going to happen again?</blockquote>

[They all stare at DANIEL. O'NEILL stares at the crystal, his expression thoughtful and worried.]

'''INT—SGC BRIEFING ROOM—EVENING'''

[The members of SG-1 are seated around the Briefing table. HAMMOND is approaching his seat at the head when an AIRMAN walks in.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Sir. O'Neill…
(he looks at the real O'NEILL) 
…the other guy…is nowhere in the mountain.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND dismisses the AIRMAN, who pivots and leaves the room. He passes CARTER as ascending the staircase as he descends.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Okay…we've got a problem. I ran some tests on the crystals in the lab. Whatever the energy inside the crystal is, it's starting to decay. It's ionizing particle radiation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(rises to his feet, alarmed) 
Nuclear radiation?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's not constant and the amounts are not dangerous; but if
(she draws quotation marks in the air) 
O'Neill…It…starts breaking down like the energy in the crystals and it's more powerful than what we have here…then anyone nearby could get a lethal dose of radiation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
If that's true, we have a very serious problem on our hands. Let's hope it's not.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh, something else. I've been thinking about where it went. Sir, it was in your locker looking through your personal stuff. Pictures of your family…</blockquote>

[O'NEILL jumps to his feet and races to the phone. They all watch as he dials it.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on, Sara, come on.</blockquote>

[SARA'S answering machine picks up.]

<blockquote>SARA'S VOICE 
Hi. Can't take your call right now, so please leave a message.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL slams down the receiver, whirling around.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I've got to get there.</blockquote>

[He runs down the stairs. CARTER and DANIEL follow.]

'''INT—SGC CORRIDOR—EVENING'''

[CARTER, DANIEL and TEAL'C follow O'NEILL through the corridors. The team is dressed in camouflage fatigues.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
The lab's running tests but I'm pretty sure it's breaking down because Earth's electromagnetic field is stronger than the one on P3X-562. The difference is tearing it apart.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Can we stop it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I don't know.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND meets them.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
We checked with the local police. No one's at your wife's house. One of the local hospitals admitted a J. O'Neill less than an hour ago.</blockquote>

[HAMMOND notices TEAL'C'S staff weapon.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Teal'c, you'll have to leave that here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I have seen your world. I will need it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Can't let you take your weapon, Teal'c.
(He reaches out and removes the staff weapon, handing it to the Airman behind him.) 
You—all of you—will be operating in public so you can't do or say anything that reveals the existence of the SGC or the Stargate.</blockquote>

[With a nod, HAMMOND pulls something from his pocket. He hands TEAL'C a baseball cap with "Chicago" inscribed across the front.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Chicago. The windy city. Home of the Black Hawks, the Bulls and the White Sox.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Don't forget the Cubs.</blockquote>

[The elevator opens, and SG-1 steps on board.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Heads up Colonel. Good luck.</blockquote>

'''INT—HOPSPITAL—NIGHT'''

[The ALIEN O'NEILL is in the far corner of a large multi-bed Emergency Ward. His eyes are closed; his fists are clenched on his chest. SARA is at his bedside, looking away. A monitor beeps. Suddenly, the ALIEN'S eyes fly open.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Charlie…</blockquote>

[SARA turns quickly to look him. The ALIEN turns on his side, gazing back at her. He looks ill; pale and in pain.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
This is the place we brought him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Yes, it is.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN sits up; his eyes focused on the past.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
He died here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Yes, he did. Jack, what's happening to you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I have to get to the Stargate. Can we do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Jack, I know you want to get to the Stargate…but…</blockquote>

[A blast of energy flashes between them, and the ALIEN O'NEILL slams back to the bed, in agony. The power flows through him, then seems to leave. SARA approaches him, reaching out tentatively to help. The energy flares between them and she pulls back, stuck by the electronic pulse, hurt and frightened.]

[The ALIEN O'NEILL cries out as the energy runs through him, causing pain and disruption. SARA, Nurses and patients scream and back away as the power flows over the ALIEN, moving into the area around him. Electrical shorts and explosions start disrupting the equipment, lights and monitors throughout the hospital. The ALIEN falls off the bed, the energy becoming worse. All around the ward, medical professionals and patients cower and flee.]

[SARA runs from the room, trying to escape the electrical charges blowing out lights and other electrical equipment.]

'''EXT—HOSPITAL—NIGHT'''

[Chaos and panic fill the air as people are evacuated from the hospital. Police are trying to control the crowd. Medical personnel and patients mill around ambulances. Local news Channel 8 is trying to cover the scene.]

<blockquote>POLICE OFFICER 
(over his radio) 
All right, people! I need buses up here!
(To another officer) 
Help this news van get in through the crowd.
(Shouting) 
I want these people out of here now! Come on! Move! Move!</blockquote>

[The POLICE OFFICER approaches a Hospital ADMINISTRATOR.]

<blockquote>POLICE OFFICER 
As soon as Colonel O'Neill's team gives the signal, I want you to start shutting the power down inside. All right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ADMINISTRATOR 
All right.</blockquote>

[The OFFICER moves back through the crowd.]

<blockquote>POLICE OFFICER 
(hitting the news van) 
Move back!</blockquote>

'''INT—HOSPITAL CORRIDOR—NIGHT'''

[A nurse is winding a bandage around SARA'S hand. People pass them, moving rapidly through the corridor.]

<blockquote>SARA 
Thanks…</blockquote>

[A light flares and flickers, buzzing menacingly. Both women look up.]

<blockquote>SARA 
Go. I'm all right…go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>NURSE 
I'm almost finished.</blockquote>

[SARA looks up as she hears a familiar voice.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(in the distance) 
All right…keep moving, folks. Everybody out! I need everybody out of here now! Let's go!</blockquote>

[SARA stares in disbelief as O'NEILL runs into sight. He seems to be searching every face he passes. He is followed by DANIEL, CARTER, and TEAL'C.]

<blockquote>SARA 
(shocked) 
Jack?</blockquote>

[O'NEILL grabs SARA by the shoulders, looking at her intently.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sara! Are you all right?</blockquote>

[SARA looks at O'NEILL, her mouth opening and closing in wordless shock. She turns to look back to the room where the ALIEN O'NEILL is, then turns back to the real O'NEILL. He hugs her tightly.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's me. This is me, baby.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Jack.</blockquote>

[They hold the embrace, then O'NEILL pulls back. He kisses SARA, then cups her face in his hands.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Are you all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Yeah.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay. I want to hear all about it…but not now. Are you okay?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Yeah.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>NURSE 
Room three.</blockquote>

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

[O'NEILL turns and moves down the corridor.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Colonel!</blockquote>

[O'NEILL turns, and DANIEL throws him the hazmat hood. Surges of electrical power cause light and noise in the room at the end of the hall. O'NEILL jogs toward the room, followed by TEAL'C. CARTER takes SARA by the shoulder and escorts her and the NURSE in the opposite direction. DANIEL stares after O'NEILL and TEAL'C, then turns and follows CARTER.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
It's okay.</blockquote>

'''INT—HOSPITAL CORRIDOR OUTSIDE ROOM THREE—NIGHT'''

[As O'NEILL and TEAL'C approach the room, the power is shut off. O'NEILL pulls on the hazmat hood; TEAL'C takes flashlights out of the bag has. He hands one to O'NEILL and turning them on, they enter Room Three. Bursts of blue energy still run over the equipment. They spot the ALIEN, crumpled on the floor beside the bed. Blue energy runs over him.]

[DANIEL and CARTER run down the corridors with flashlights, following their teammates' route. CARTER is carrying a radiation detector. They join O'NEILL and TEAL'C in Room Three.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Listen Colonel; it's buried in the red.
(into the radio) 
How we doing with the power?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ADMINISTRATOR 
(over the radio) 
I turned off as much of the grid as possible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They've shut down all they can.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL turns to look at the ALIEN. He moves across the room, approaching him cautiously. Looking afraid, the ALIEN sits up, leaning against a cabinet. He moves with jerky motions, and looks even worse than before. When he speaks, his words are halting, and delivered with great effort.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's all right.
(he pulls out his pistol and places it on the ground) 
I'm not going to hurt you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Please…stay back. I…do not want to…harm you…again. My energy…is…about to…</blockquote>

[The ALIEN screams as sizzling energy bolts bursts forth, throwing O'NEILL and the others back. O'NEILL hits a rack of supplies, and falls to the ground. His teammates hit a wall. They stagger to their feet. CARTER picks up the radiation detector.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Radiation has dropped off.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
O'Neill…are you all right?</blockquote>

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

[They look up as the lights come back on.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(into radio) 
What's happening?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ADMINISTRATOR 
(over radio) 
We've got twenty percent emergency power.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Radiation's low enough. We should be all right.</blockquote>

[SG-1 pull off the hazmat headgear. O'NEILL looks at the ALIEN.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
You have come to destroy me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No. That's not true.
(He gets to his feet and walks to the ALIEN) 
I know you weren't trying to kill me back on the planet.
(He kneels in front of the ALIEN, speaking gently) 
The Goa'ulds—the people who destroyed your race—they're our enemies too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
I…understand…Thank you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why did you come here?</blockquote>

[Throughout his speech, the ALIEN flashes back to the moment of their first meeting, when O'NEILL touched the crystal, and was sent flying. When he stood over his unconscious form and reached a decision. The moment when SARA and O'NEILL heard the gunshot.]

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
When my energy hurt you…I tried…to heal you. But I did not understand your…injury. So I looked in…to your mind. I saw the mind…of a warrior. I feared it, as I feared those who destroyed my race. I tried to make you well…before my mistake was discovered; before the others returned to…destroy me. I understand now. Your deepest pain was not the physical…injury I had caused. Your pain was from an empty place in your heart where Charlie once was. I thought if I could bring Charlie to you, it would make you well. I did not understand his death meant he could no longer exist as flesh and blood. Physical death…does not have the same meaning…to us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Are you dying now?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
Yes. I could not bring Charlie to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Charlie's gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN O'NEILL 
No…He's…in here.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN O'NEILL reaches out a hand to touch O'NEILL'S heart. By the time the hand reaches O'NEILL, the ALIEN has become a copy of CHARLIE. O'NEILL stares at him in disbelief.]

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

[O'NEILL looks stunned. Around him, DANIEL, CARTER and TEAL'C look on with concern.]

<blockquote>ALIEN CHARLIE 
You cannot change what happened that day, just as I cannot change the day that the Goa'uld destroyed my world. I am showing you what of Charlie is still there…inside you.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL and the ALIEN CHARLIE stare at each other in a moment of silent communication.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(softly) 
Jack…Jack….</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Radiation's still low, but I don't know for how long.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(to Charlie) 
We have to go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN CHARLIE 
(smiling) 
Is Sara O'Neill still here?</blockquote>

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

[The ALIEN CHARLIE grins as O'NEILL'S eyes travel over his face.]

'''INT—HOSPITAL CORRIDOR—NIGHT'''

[O'NEILL and the ALIEN CHARLIE walk hand in hand down the hospital hallway. CARTER, TEAL'C and DANIEL follow.]

<blockquote>VOICE OVER THE RADIO 
Delta Five Point Bravo, our ETA is five minutes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Chopper's inbound.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You guys go ahead.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL and the ALIEN CHARLIE approach SARA, who is standing alone in front of the Hospital exit. She stares at the small form of the ALIEN CHARLIE in shock. He looks up at her with trust.]

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

<blockquote>SARA 
Oh my God…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's not Charlie.</blockquote>

[The ALIEN CHARLIE looks up at him, then over to SARA.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sara…</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
Shh…</blockquote>

[The ALIEN CHARLIE holds out a hand, and SARA takes it with her bandaged one. They hold hands for a moment, SARA blinking away tears as she drinks in the sight of the boy's face. The ALIEN CHARLIE pulls his hand back gently.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sara…I have to get him back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
(nods) 
To the Stargate?</blockquote>

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

[SARA holds back tears and O'NEILL wraps her in his arms while the ALIEN CHARLIE looks on, his expression sympathetic.]

<blockquote>SARA 
(against O'NEILL'S neck) 
Whatever that is. The other guy…You know what he said?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(softly) 
I have a pretty fair idea.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SARA 
We were pretty great together, weren't we?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We were the greatest.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL kisses her neck as SARA blinks back more tears. Finally, they pull apart. O'NEILL caresses her face with one hand while she watches him, then breaks contact. He takes the ALIEN CHARLIE'S hand and walks through the door, leaving SARA standing there. She turns to watch them depart.]

<blockquote>SARA 
(whispering) 
Take care of yourself, Jack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SGC—GATE ROOM—NIGHT</blockquote>

[O'NEILL and the ALIEN CHARLIE stand in front of the active Stargate. DANIEL, CARTER and TEAL'C are watch from the bottom of the ramp. O'NEILL walks up the ramp, stopping in front of the wormhole to look at them with a small smile.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Keep the lights on. I'll be back.</blockquote>

[O'NEILL reaches out for the ALIEN CHARLIE'S hand. CHARLIE puts his hand in O'NEILL's and together, they walk through the wormhole.]

'''TEASER'''

'''FADE IN'''

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Four soldiers are sitting on duty around a table at the bottom of the ramp, playing cards.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Oh man, his hand's as lousy as his detail. All right, everybody, ante up. 
(Looking to female soldier) 
That's you too. 
(He deals) 
Seven to the duece, nothing there. Boss and the eight, nothing happening. Queen to the king, possible straight going there. Eight on the eight, and the jack gets a boss, eight's open.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
Aren't you guys afraid of an officer coming down here or something?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
Trust me, nobody ever comes down here but us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
(Looking to the slightly billowing Stargate cover) 
Does that thing always do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Do what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
Whatever it is under the tarp, I just…saw it move or do something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
Probably the only thing it ever did was cost money.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Yeah and it looks like they ran out of that, they've been shipping personnel out of here for months.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
(Seeing tarp move again) 
I'm telling you, the thing is moving!</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
If you don't have the straight, just fold.</blockquote>

[She gets up from her seat and makes towards the Gate.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
(Agitated) 
Can we take that as a fold?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
Just finish the hand, she's out.</blockquote>

[The female soldier approaches the Gate and starts up the ramp, it starts shaking suddenly, they hear a rumbling sound and she backs away down the ramp as it shakes along with the table where the other soldiers are seated. The jump to their feet, hands to their guns.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 3 
What the…?</blockquote>

[The tarp flies from the Gate and reveals the Gate spinning and active.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 3 
Whoa!</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
I take it this has never happened before?</blockquote>

[Soldier 2 goes to the red phone on the wall as the other stand ready at the base of the ramp. The Gate activates—the kerwhoosh expands outwards and he drops the phone, the others falling to the ground as the Gate billows out towards them. Soldier One passes out guns and they cock them, standing and waiting in front of the Gate. The female soldier starts up the ramp.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
What are you doing?</blockquote>

[As she reaches the Gate a ball drops through it to her feet, glows and seems to scan her bodily. It falls still and she bends down to touch it.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 3 
What are you doing? Don't touch it!</blockquote>

[She picks it up, looking back to tem in cofusion. Then a serpent guard steps through the Gate right on top of her, taking a hold of her round the neck and taking her gun. The other soldiers cock their guns.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Hold your fire!</blockquote>

[More serpent guards come through the Gate.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Hold it…identify yourself!</blockquote>

[The last figure steps through the Gate, his armour made of gold. He stands in front of his seven guards and reveals his face—a human face.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Jaffa! Kree!</blockquote>

[The guard holding the female soldier reveals his face, and Apophis turns to him.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Teal'c, kree!</blockquote>

[Teal'c drops the female soldier's gun and passes her to Apophis roughly.]

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
Get your hands off me!</blockquote>

[Apophis brings his hand up and a device emits a glow that latches on to her face, she becomes calm.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER! 
Let her go!</blockquote>

[One of the serpent guards fires with his staff weapon and a fire fight ensues. Teal'c covers the female soldier with his body as the bullets bounce off the Goa'uld armour. Apophis sees one of his guards go down.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Kree! Jaffa! 
(He waves them back)</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
(Reaching for the phone desperately) 
We've got Jaffa down here we need…</blockquote>

[He is hit by a staff blast and goes down. All the soldiers are hit and go down. The base alarms have started sounding.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Tyger. A-lada spryng.</blockquote>

'''INT—BASE CORRIDORS'''

[Soldiers are running for the Gate room.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Go, go!</blockquote>

[The Mountain doors close.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

<blockquote>[General Hammond and the soldiers stream in and take position, all but Apophis, the female soldier and two of his guards are gone, one picks up the scanning device. The soldiers cock their guns.]</blockquote>

<blockquote>GENERAL HAMMOND 
Hold your fire!</blockquote>

[Apophis' eyes glow, his helmet goes up and they retreat through the Gate, it dissipates.]

'''END OF TEASER'''

'''EXT—OUTSIDE O'NEILL'S HOUSE'''

[An officer gets out of his car and walks towards the house, he knocks on the door. A soldier accompanying him moves round to the side of the house.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Sir, there's a ladder over here.</blockquote>

[They climb up to a tree house in the garden where O'Neill has his eye to a telescope pointing to the sky.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Colonel Jack O'Neill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Not looking at him) 
Retired.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
I'm Major Samuels.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Air Force?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Yes, sir, I'm the General's Executive Officer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Want a little piece of advice Major? Get re-assed to NASA. That's where all the action's going to be. Out there. 
(We see what he sees through the scope—a galaxy formation)</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
I'm uh, I'm under orders to bring you to see General Hammond, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Never heard of him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
He replaced General West. He says it's important. Has to do with the Stargate.</blockquote>

[O'Neill finally looks around, interested.]

'''EXT—MOUNTAIN BASE'''

[We see Samuel's car enter the base.]

'''INT—LIFT'''

[O'Neill is accompanied by an officer down to sublevel 11. They walk down the corridor.]

<blockquote>INTERCOM 
Tag team number nine to sublevel two vent shaft twenty-four.</blockquote>

[O'Neill signs in at the desk and they head for a second elevator.]

<blockquote>OFFICER 
We have to take a second elevator the rest of the way, sir, it's a long way down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Entering the lift) 
Yeah I know, I've been here before.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OFFICER 
Ah, of course.</blockquote>

[The lift descends and they get out, Samuels is at the end of the corridor.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
This way, sir. 
(He indicates to a door)</blockquote>

[Samuels follows O'Neill and the officer takes his previous position.]

'''INT—HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

[There are two knocks on the door.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Come.</blockquote>

[Samuels and O'Neill enter.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
General Hammond, Colonel Jack O'Neill.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I can see that. Me I'm on my last tour. Time to get my thoughts together, maybe write a book. You ever think of writing a book of your exploits in the line of duty?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I've thought about it, but then I'd have to shoot anyone that actually read it. 
(Getting no response) 
That's a joke, sir, most of my work over the last ten years was classified.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Yes, of course.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Major Samuels mentioned something about the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Down to business, I can do that. 
(Standing) 
This way.</blockquote>

[They all leave the office.]

'''INT—LAB'''

[A doctor pulls back a sheet from dead Jaffa's face.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Anyone you know, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DOCTOR 
They're not human.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ya think?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DOCTOR 
Best we can tell these slits are actually a pouch, similar to that found in a marsupial.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Like a kangaroo.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DOCTOR 
We haven't done an autopsy yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
These people or aliens, whatever you want to call them…came through…killed four of my people and kidnapped another using advanced weapons.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Weapons, sir?</blockquote>

[An airman brings forwards a staff weapon and Hammond hands in to O'Neill.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
We can't figure out how they operate.</blockquote>

[With confidence, O'Neill activates and them deactivates the weapon.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Seen one before, I take it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir, 
(Hands the weapon back) 
but there are no creatures like this on Abydos. These people were human, they were from Earth. Ra brought 'em there thousands of years ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I know all about that, but your report said this Ra was in fact some kind of alien that lived inside a human body.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah his eyes glowed, that was our first clue.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Are you sure he's dead, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Unless he could survive a tactical nuclear warhead blowing up in his face, positive. Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
These people, or whatever they are, were guarding another man who retreated back through the Stargate. I got a good look at his eyes Colonel. They glowed.</blockquote>

'''INT—CORRIDOR'''

[Hammond, O'Neill and Samuels are walking.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How do you feel about the Stargate mission after all this time, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How do you mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, it's been over a year. Has your perspective changed?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, sir I… 
(He sees Ferretti and Kawalsky through a door)</blockquote>

[They enter Hammond's office again.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Was that…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Kawalsky and Ferretti yes, they were under your command on the first Stargate mission. 
(O'Neill sees his men led into an adjoining room though a window) 
Tell me about Daniel Jackson, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why are they questioning my men?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
They're not your men anymore, Colonel—you retired. Daniel Jackson.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You read the report?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's all there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's this all about, General?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You didn't like Daniel Jackson, did you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel was a scientist. He sneezed a lot. Basically he was a geek, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
So you didn't have a lot of time for him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I didn't say that. He also saved my life and found the way home for my men and me—little thing like that kinda makes a person grow on ya, know what I mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
According to the mission brief your orders were to go through the Stargate to detect any possible threat to earth and if found, to detonate a nuclear devise and destroy the Gate on the other side.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
But that's not what you did, is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not right away. Ra's forces overpowered my team and took the weapon before I could arm it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
But with Doctor Daniel's help you eventually regained control and did in fact detonate the weapon. Yes?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
So to the best of your knowledge Daniel Jackson and everyone else you knew on Abydos is dead, correct?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's correct.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Good. 
(He rises from his seat) 
Then you won't mind if I authorise a go ahead on our plan.</blockquote>

'''INT—CORRIDOR'''

[They leave the office.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This quartz material the Stargates are made of, must be tough stuff if it can withstand a Mark 3.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well we sent a robot probe through after we got back, sir, it was flattened on the other end. Obviously the Abydos Stargate had been buried in the rubble.</blockquote>

[They enter the Gate room.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, somehow it got unburied.</blockquote>

[There is a bomb being prepped at the bottom of the Stargate ramp.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh my God. You're sending another bomb?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Mark 5 this time. If these creatures did reopen the Abydos Gate we intend to reseal it for good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, you can't do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Countdown's already started. Unless you have something to add.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(After a long pause) 
General Hammond…Sir. I regret to inform you that my report was not entirely accurate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You didn't detonate the bomb.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, I did detonate the bomb, sir, and it was aboard Ra's spacecraft, so it did kill him and eliminate the risk to Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
However?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
However…Ra's ship was in orbit above the planet at the time, neither the Gate nor anything else on the planet was destroyed. Daniel Jackson is alive and living with the people on Abydos.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You violated direct orders why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Because the people of Abydos are no threat to us. They deserve to be left alone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That's not up to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
With all due respect, sir—if I'd come back here and reported the Gate on the other side was still intact we would have sent another bomb, just like you were about to. It wasn't necessary to let those people die. The threat from Ra was gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
What about the probe we sent through? It was crushed instantly.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
After we came home Daniel buried the Gate in rocks making my return or anybody else's impossible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Those four bodies lying in the infirmary say otherwise Airman.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(After a thoughtful pause) 
We'll send the bomb through on schedule.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, you can't do that!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Oh, I can't?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There are innocent people on that planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
There are innocent people here! I have my orders too Colonel, I obey mine. Take Colonel O'Neill to the holding room, let's give him some time to think about things while I decide what to do with him. 
(As he leaves) 
Sergeant…</blockquote>

[Two officers flank O'Neill and he walks off between them.]

'''INT—HOLDING ROOM'''

[O'Neill is led inside and the door is shut. Kawalski rises from one of the bunks and salutes crisply.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Colonel O'Neill, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm retired, Kawalski, lose the salute.</blockquote>

[Kawalski drops his hand and shakes O'Neill's hand, smiling.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Me and Ferretti didn't tell them anything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I appreciate that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Hey those kids on Abydos saved my life too. 
(He motions to the table and chairs in the room)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, the kids. 
(They sit)</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
They're the whole reason they kept the secret, right?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
That one kid idolised you, remember him? Weird name…what was it?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Right. Remember how he was always saluting you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, my kid used to do that when he was little. Skarra kinda reminded me of him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Oh man Colonel, you and me went through that whole mission together, I never even knew you had a son.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, he died. Just before the Abydos mission.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
I'm sorry, sir, I had no idea.</blockquote>

[The door opens and they stand as Hammond walks in.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How many people did you say were on Abydos?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That we saw, maybe five thousand. Does this mean you're reconsidering sending the bomb, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It means I'm open to suggestions.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, let me take a team through that Gate, we'll find out who those aliens are, Kawalski and I have been there before we know the lay of the land, we know the people.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You ''think'' you do, Daniel could be dead, you don't know what you'd be waking into.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sir, there is one way to find out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Right, we'll have the prototype probe shipped from MIT.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General we don't need that probe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
We don't?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, 
(Grabs the tissue box from the table) 
this'll do.</blockquote>

[He leaves the holding room and Kawalski and Hammond follow.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Soldiers surround the Gate, guns ready as the Stargate dials. O'Neill, Hammond, Samuels and Kawalski are in the viewing room.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN (Over Intercom) 
Chevron Four encoded!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Care to explain this concept?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN (Over Intercom) 
Chevron Five encoded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel has allergies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Oh, I get it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He'll know his came from me and not from someone, with all due respect, sir, like yourself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN (Over Intercom) 
Chevron Six encoded.</blockquote>

[O'Neill leaves the viewing room for the Gate room.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
Chevron Seven, locked.</blockquote>

[The Gate activates, and O'Neill walks up to it and tosses the tissue box through.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
The, um, object should reach final destination in five seconds, four, three, two, one. 
(The Gate dissipates) 
The object should now be through the Abydos Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Now what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Reentering the viewing room) 
Now we wait, if Daniel's still around he'll know what the message means.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
What if the aliens get it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, they could be blowing their noses right now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
They could be planning an attack!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Aw, come on Samuels, let me be the cynic around here, okay? 
(To Hammond) 
Sir, this could take some time.</blockquote>

[They leave the Control Room.]

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM, SOME TIME LATER'''

[They are all waiting when the Stargate rumbles to life.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Hammond, Samuels, Kawalski and O'Neill watch as the tissue box flies back through the Stargate and the Gate event horizon dissipates. O'Neill picks up the box, and smiles. He hands it to Samuels and he and Hammond see that written on its side are the words 'THANKS, SEND MORE.']

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Permission to take a team through the Stargate, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Assuming I get the President's authorisation, the mission briefing will be at 0800 hours. Consider yourself recalled to active duty Colonel.</blockquote>

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Hammond enters the room.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Ten hut.</blockquote>

[The occupants, including O'Neill, salute.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Gentlemen, take your seats.</blockquote>

[Seven occupants of the room sit at the table, O'Neill remains standing by his chair.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Where's Captain Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Just arriving, sir.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm assigning Sam Carter to this mission.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'd prefer to put together my own team, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Not on this mission, sorry. Carter's our expert on the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where's he transferring from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
''She'' is transferring from the Pentagon.</blockquote>

[Carter enters the room, and moves to her seat at the table.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I take it you're Colonel O'Neill. 
(She salutes) 
Captain Samantha Carter reporting, sir.</blockquote>

[O'Neill salutes back.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
But of course you go by Sam.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You don't have to worry, Major, I played with dolls when I was a kid.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
GI Joe?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, Major Matt Mason.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Oh… 
(To Ferretti) 
Who?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
Major Matt Mason, astronaut doll. Did you have that cool little backpack that made him fly?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Let's get started, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you. 
(Carter sits) 
Those of you on your first trip through the Gate, you should be prepared for what to expect.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I've practically memorised your report from the first mission, I'd like to think I've been preparing for this my whole life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
I think what the Colonel is saying is, have you ever pulled out of a simulated bombing run in an F-16 at 8-plus G's?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
(Surprised) 
Well, it's way worse than that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
By the time you get to the other side you're frozen stiff, like you've just been through a blizzard, naked. 
(He and Kawalski grin at each other)</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's a result of the compression your molecules undergo during the millisecond required for reconstitution.</blockquote>

O'NEILL <blockquote>
Oh here we go, another scientist, General ''please.''</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Theoretical astrophysicist.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Which means?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Which means she is smarter than you are Colonel. Especially in matters related to the Stargate.</blockquote>

[Kawalski and Ferretti are sniggering, O'Neill looks over to them and they stop abruptly.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, I was studying the Gate technology for two years before Daniel Jackson made it work and before you both went through. I should have gone through then. But, sir, you and your men might as well accept the fact that I am going through this time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well with all due respect Doctor I…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It is appropriate to refer to a person by their rank, not their salutation. You should call me Captain, not Doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Captain Carter's assignment to this unit is not an option, it's an order.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm an Air Force officer just like you are, Colonel, and just because my reproductive organs are on the inside instead of the outside, doesn't mean I can't handle whatever you can handle.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Smiling) 
Oh, this has nothing to do with you being a woman. I ''like'' women. I just have a little problem with scientists.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, I logged over a hundred hours in enemy airspace during the Gulf War. Is that tough enough for you? Or are we going to have to arm wrestle?</blockquote>

[O'Neill raises his eyebrows in amusement.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
I hate to throw a damper on your enthusiasm, but I still say the safest most logical way to deal with this is to bury the Stargate, just like the ancient Egyptians did, make it impossible for the aliens to return. It's the only way to eliminate the threat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Except it won't work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It worked before.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They know what we are now, they know ho far we've come, we're a threat to them. They've got ships General, Ra had one as big as the great pyramid, they don't need the Stargate to get here they can do it the old fashioned way. Now with all due respect to Mr Glass-is-half-empty over there don't you think maybe we should use the Stargate to do a little reconnaissance before they decide to come back…again?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'll give you exactly twenty-four hours to either return or send a message through, no Kleenex boxes please. Otherwise we'll assume the worst and send a bomb through.</blockquote>

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

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[The Gate activates, the Colonel, his team and Hammond enter the room.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Try to follow orders this time, Colonel.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This time you bring Daniel Jackson back, is that clear?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir.</blockquote>

[They salute.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Move out.</blockquote>

[His team walks through the Stargate, leaving Carter and O'Neill at the base of the ramp.]

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Don't worry, sir, I won't let you down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Good. I was going to say "ladies first."</blockquote>

[They walk to the even horizon.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
You know, you really will like me when you get to know me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, I adore you already, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Staring at the even horizon up close) 
My God, look at this! I mean, the energy the Gate must release to create a stable wormhole is…it's astronomical to use exactly the right word! 
(She touches it and it ripples) 
You can actually see the fluctuation on the even horizon!</blockquote>

[O'Neill shoves her through the Gate, then walks through after her.]

'''INT—ABYDOS STARGATE ROOM'''

[We see O'Neill emerge through the Gate and it dissipate behind him. His team are there getting eady. He approaches Carter, who is hunched over.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Ugh. I think I'm going to be sick, ugh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Maybe you shouldn't have had that big lunch, huh?</blockquote>

[They all move out into the apparently empty room when suddenly natives emerge from the shadows and point guns at them. They cock their own guns—at a stand off. Then Daniel pops up.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Cha'hari! Cha'hari. Lower your guns.</blockquote>

[The natives lower their weapons and relax.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hello, Jack, welcome back.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks towards him and then barges past to get to Skarra who stands behind him. Skarra salutes and O'Neill returns it with a smile, then they hug with a laugh.]

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

<blockquote>SKARRA 
O'Neill! I did not think to be seeing you again!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Turns to Daniel) 
Daniel, how you doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Good, you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Much better, now that I see everyone's okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
(Making the "live long and prosper" sign) 
Greetings from Earth, Doctor Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hello, Ferretti.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Brought you a little something, Daniel. 
(He hands Daniel a pocket pack of tissues)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Kawalski.</blockquote>

[Sha're emerges slightly at the side of the room.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're, don't be shy. 
(She joins him)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hi, 
(He hold out a hand to her) 
good to see you again. 
(They shake hands)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So I figure it was only a matter of time before you had to tell the truth about us still being here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yep. Why the militia, has something else come through?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, just taking precautions, why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Amazing, 
(Looking at the DHD) 
this is what was missing from the dig at Giza. This is how they controlled it! It took us fifteen years and three supercomputers to MacGyver a system on Earth.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Look how small it is!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Captain! 
(He motions to Daniel)</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh right, excuse me. 
(She turns to them) 
Doctor Jackson I presume, I'm Doctor Samantha Carter. 
(They shake hands)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thought you wanted to be called Captain?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What's going on, Jack?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Six hostile aliens came through the Stargate on Earth, four people are dead, one's missing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
One of them looked like Ra, Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, they didn't come from here. I mean the boys take shifts guarding it 36 hours a day, every day, we'd know if they came through here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well they came from somewhere Daniel, I'm going to have to look around.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I…I think I can help you find out who it was but, uh, it's going to have to wait until this sandstorm is over. Uh, we were about to have our evening meal. Why don't you join us?</blockquote>

'''INT—ABYDOS STARGATE ROOM, SOME TIME LATER'''

[O'Neill, his team, Daniel and many Abydonians are gathered in a circle on the floor, eating.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Everybody try this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
This too. 
(He hands out bowls of liquid)</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Drink. 
(He hands him a bowl)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(He sniffs it)
Moonshine?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Moon…shine?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, moonshine, as in booze, er…Daniel, what are you teaching these kids?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Try it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right. Skarra's moonshine. I'll give it a little shot. 
(Spits it out suddenly) 
Oh…God!</blockquote>

[Everyone laughs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Rasps) 
Smooth, very smooth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Moonshine!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Your little soldiers are all grown up, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, I'm so proud, whoa…</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
O'Neill…your lighter? 
(He holds out the lighter)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, it's yours, I gave that to you to keep. Remember?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Thank you. 
(He leaves)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You know he's never had that out of his sight the whole time you were gone.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So this…this man who looked like Ra, he must have come through another Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What other Gate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Another Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The Stargate only goes here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, no I think you're wrong about that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I was there, we ran hundreds of permutations.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
But you didn't have what you need.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel what are you talking about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Daniel, the storm has passed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'll show you. Sha're, ben quar ri, Jack and his friends…to see the vili tao an.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
Bonni wai?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I won't be long.</blockquote>

[Sha're kisses him and everyone whoops and laughs, O'Neill giving him a weird look.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
Goodbye, my Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Stunned) 
Bye.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Ferretti, hold the fort.</blockquote>

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

'''EXT—OUTSIDE THE PYRAMID'''

[Kawalski, O'Neill, Carter and Daniel emerge into the bright desert.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Boy, I can't say I've missed this place.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Come on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This is just incredible.</blockquote>

'''INT—CAVERN'''

[Torches light a tunnel leading inside the pyramid.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So I figured there had to be more to this place so I started exploring, just the area around the town and the pyramid at first and after about a month I found this place. Uh, Captain Doctor, you're going to love this.</blockquote>

[Torches light up a big room with elaborate drawing on the walls.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh my God, this is amazing, this is the archaeological find of the century.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So Daniel, you had a chance to translate this yet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I think so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What does it say?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, uh, it doesn't say anything. Actually it's sort of a chart, more of a…map.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well I haven't been able to analyse all of it, I mean look at it, it would take my whole life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well Daniel, we don't have that long. What's it a map of?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, the cartouches seem to be separated clearly into groupings, each grouping is attached to the others with a series of lines, and each grouping of glyphs contain seven symbols, so you can see where this is going of course.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Tell us anyway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
All of the symbols are on the Stargate in the Abydos chamber. I've also managed to chart some of them in the Abydos night sky, or at least pretty close. Jack I think that this is a map of a vast network of Stargates, Stargates that are…are all over the galaxy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh, I don't think that can be, Doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, because after Colonel O'Neill and his team came back my team tried hundreds of symbol permutations using Earth as the point of origin and it never worked.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I tried the same here and it didn't work either but I figured the destinations I tried were either destroyed or buried, but, um, I mean some of them somewhere must still exist.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Then where did your Ra lookalike come from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Look I don't pretend to know anything about Astrophysics but couldn't the planets change? I mean, uh, drift apart or something like that, to throw this map off?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I knew I'd like you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You mean I'm right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
According to the expanding universe model all bodies in the universe are constantly moving further apart…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So I the thousands of years since the Stargate was built…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
All the coordinates could have changed.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
DANIEL 
But why does it still work between Abydos and Earth?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Abydos is probably the closest planet in the network to Earth, I mean the closer they are the less the difference in relative position due to expansion—the further away the greater the difference. In a few thousand more years it won't work between Earth and Abydos either.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Unless you can adjust for the displacement.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Right, now with this map as a base that should be easy. All we have to do is correct for Doppler's Shift, then I should be able to arrive at a computer model that can predict the adjustments necessary to get the Gate working again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Okay, so what did we just figure out?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Any civilisation advanced enough to build this Gate network would be able to compensate for 50,000 years of stellar drift.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So…the Stargate can go other places?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The aliens could have come from anywhere.</blockquote>

'''INT—ABYDOS STARGATE ROOM'''

[The Abydonians are talking and laughing with the team and Ferretti. They watch Sha're walk past them.]

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
Man, you got to give Daniel credit. She is one beautiful woman.</blockquote>

[They turn as the Stargate starts to dial in.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
We got company, boys! Move, move! Take cover!</blockquote>

[They scatter to the edges of the room, hiding behind the pillars, holding their guns ready as the Stargate opens. Goa'uld guards walk through and start firing immediately, hitting a few Abyodonians, they fire back, as do the SG team. The Gao'uld have the upper hand quickly and Apophis looks on as they shoot the SG team down. Skarra sees Sha're and fires at the Goa'uld.]

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Sha're, shim rota! Shim rota!</blockquote>

[They seize her, she screams and Skarra steps forward but finds his gun jammed. He tries to fight but is grabbed.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No! Skarra!</blockquote>

[Teal'c's helmet opens to reveal his face to Skarra as he holds him.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This is not your weapon. Where did you get it?</blockquote>

[Skarra spits in his face. Teal'c brings him to Apophis, who lowers his helmet.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Good choice Teal'c. A perfect specimen.</blockquote>

[Apophis raises his hand device and knocks Skarra out with it.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No! Stop it! Stop it! Skarra! Skarra!</blockquote>

[She is taken to Apophis.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
You may be the one.</blockquote>

[He knocks her out with the hand device. A guard dials the Gate and we see Ferretti, injured and barely conscious, watching the dialling. They leave through the Gate and the Abydonians emerge as Daniel and the other return.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're! 
(He moves to an injured Abydonian) 
Bolaa…</blockquote>

<blockquote>BOLAA 
There's so…there's so many…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BOLAA 
So many of them…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's all right. Just tell me what happened.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BOLAA 
It was Ra…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's going on?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ra is dead. Tao qua Ra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BOLAA 
No…I saw…he took Sha're, he took Skarra…into the Chaapa-ai.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Where, did you see? Did you see?</blockquote>

[Bolaa's eyes close slowly and he dies.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
What's going on, Daniel? Could there be another Ra?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How in the hell should I know? I should have left the barricade up. This my fault.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Holding a hand to a fallen soldiers neck) 
Come on, come on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(At Ferretti's side) 
Colonel Ferretti needs medical attention now!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Go, help him, I can send you back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You're coming with us this time, Daniel. I've got orders.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Laughs) 
I don't care about your orders, Colonel. My wife is out there. So is Skarra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And the only way we're going to get 'em back is for you to come home with us. Ferretti might have seen those co-ordinates. Captain, do you have the video?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I've got everything I need.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
(Weak) 
Too many…</blockquote>

[Daniel looks around to his friends, some dying, some grieving.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ni-ya. Ni-ya. 
(They gather around him) 
After we go through the Chappa-ai you have to bury it like we did before and then leave this place.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABYDONIAN 
You come back?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, I can't. Nobody can. That's what I'm telling you, not for a…long time. Now as soon as we're gone in want you to close it, bury it, put a big, heavy cover stone over it—nothing good could ever come through this Gate. Do you understand me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABYDONIAN 
You came through, Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Do you remember the story I told you, how the ancient Egyptians back on Earth cut themselves off from Ra? Well that is exactly what you have to do. Then in one year…one year from this day you take the cover stone away, I will try to bring Sha're home with me on that day. But if I don't make it back, if I don't return then you must bury the Gate again forever, joa qua? You tell Sha're's father that I'll return in one year.</blockquote>

[They all hug him, saying goodbye. Then he beaks free and starts to dial out on the DHD.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[The Gate spins.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN (Over Intercom) 
Stand by for arrival, stand by for arrival.</blockquote>

[The blast doors close and soldiers gather at the ramp base as the wormhole forms. The team bursts through, O'Neill and Carter dragging Ferretti. Samuels and Hammond enter.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Get the medic!</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
(Into his radio) 
Close the iris! Close the iris!</blockquote>

[The metal iris closes on the Gate and O'Neill spins round in surprise, his gun ready.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(To Hammond) 
What the hell's that, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That's our insurance against any more surprises. It's pure titanium, hopefully impenetrable.</blockquote>

[He watches as the medics put Ferretti onto a stretcher.]

<blockquote>MEDIC 
Get the gauze on him. We've got to stop the bleeding from his leg.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(To O'Neill) 
What happened, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Base camp was hit while we were on recon, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Same hostiles who attacked us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel's wife and one of our kids was kidnapped.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Your kids?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
From the previous mission, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
General hi, I'm Daniel Jackson, we've never met, uhm, I'd like to be on the team that goes after them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You're not in any position to make demands, Jackson. 
(He moves up the ramp to see to the wounded)</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PALACE'''

[Guards enter a holding room full of scared humans. The lead guard points out Sha're.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
C-Chel nok, her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Na ne!</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No, Skarra!</blockquote>

[Sha're is seized and Skarra stopped by staff weapons held to his head.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Your death cannot help her.</blockquote>

[Sha're is carried off and the guards leave.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
I'm not afraid of you!</blockquote>

[They close the doors behind them and Skarra runs for the doors, throwing himself against them.]

'''INT—INFIRMARY'''

[O'Neill, in casuals, approaches Ferretti's bed where Kawalksi is sitting holding a coffee, he looks tired.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Doc says he's going to make it.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You going to stay here all night?</blockquote>

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

'''INT—CORRIDOR'''

[O'Neill walks, as if to leave, and then sees Daniel, leaning against a wall, looking a little lost.]

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They don't know what to do with me. And I don't know what to do with myself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
C'mon, let's get out of here.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks off and Daniel follows.]

'''INT—O'NEILL'S HOUSE'''

[O'Neill collects two beers from the fridge, takes them to the living room where Daniel is waiting. Daniel sneezes.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nice catch.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Thank you, sorry. Gate travel always seems to make my allergies… 
(He blows his nose) 
Sorry. 
(He takes the beer)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So, you were saying.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Anyway, um, as soon as you were gone they realised that they were free, I mean, Abydos was their world for the taking.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Have a little party did ya?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh yeah, big, big party. They treated me like their saviour, it was um…embarrassing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's amazing you turned out so normal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well if it wasn't for Sha're I probably… 
(He pauses at her memory) 
She was the complete opposite of everyone else, 
(He sits) 
she practically fell on the floor laughing every time I tried to do some chore that they all took for granted. Like um, grinding yaphetta flour. I mean, have you ever tried to grind your own flour?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm trying to kick the flour thing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Laughs) 
This is going straight to my head. 
(Takes another swig of beer) 
What time is it anyway? I must have Gate lag or something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, for crying out loud, you've had one beer. You're a cheaper date then my wife was.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, when am I going to meet your wife?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, probably…uh, never. After I came back from Abydos the first time she'd already left.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, so was I. I think in her heart she forgave me for what happened to our kid, she just…couldn't forget.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And what about you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm the opposite, I'll never forgive myself, but sometimes I can forget. Sometimes. 
(He takes another swig of beer)</blockquote>

'''INT—RA'S PALACE, A HOLDING ROOM'''

[We see the female soldier who was taken, dressed in a dress and veil, sitting in a room full of similarly dressed women. Sha're is also there. Teal'c and some guards enter, he points to the soldier.]

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

[His guards rush forward and pull her up.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Where are you taking me? I'm a sergeant in the U.S. Air Force. I demand to know where you're taking me! Let go!</blockquote>

[She is led into a room.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Let go of me! Where the hell are you taking me?</blockquote>

[Apophis enter the room.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Come. 
(They move her over to him) 
Lovely. Full of life. 
(He captures her with his hand device) 
You could be the vessel for my future queen.</blockquote>

[She is subdued and they remove her clothes. Apophis looks her over.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Yes. Very nice indeed. But I am not the one you must finally please.</blockquote>

[They lay her out on the slab in the centre of the room and Apophis calls into the side of the room, behind a curtain.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Yametha, re!
</blockquote>
[A woman comes over and stands over the soldier, from her pouch a symbiote reaches out, as if looking over the soldier.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Does she please you, my love?</blockquote>

[The symbiote retreats inside its pouch and the woman leaves.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
A shame. 
(He reaches out and kills the soldier with his hand device.) 
Send another.</blockquote>

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[We see Hammond enter the already half-full room. Samuels announces him.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Ladies and gentlemen, General Hammond.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
People, what is spoken of in this room is classified as SCI top secret. Colonel, what do we know about these hostiles that we didn't yesterday?</blockquote>

[They all sit.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not a hell of a lot, General. The Abydon boys who survived the attack on the base camp thought it was Ra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I thought he was dead, gentlemen. Which is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh he's dead, he's definitely dead, I mean uh…the bomb…he's got to be dead, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Then who's coming through the Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The Gods.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Not as in 'God' God. Ra played a God, the sun God, he borrowed the religion and culture of the ancient Egyptians he brought through the Gate and then he used it to enslave them. You see he wanted the people of Abydos to believe he was the only one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So you're saying Ra's not the last of his race after all?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Maybe he's got a brother—Ray!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's what we need.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Wait a minute. The legend goes Ra's race was dying, he survived by taking over the body of his human host an Egyptain buy, but who's to say more of his kind couldn't do the same thing, I mean this could have happened any time anywhere there's a Gate, I mean this could be happening right now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel you've had the most experience of fighting this hostile, assuming you have to defend yourself in the field are you up to it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We beat 'em once.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'll take that as a maybe. Captain Carter, you're confident that Stargate will take us where we want to go with this new information?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, they're feeding the revised coordinates into the targeting computer right now. It'll take time to calculate but it should spit out two or three destinations a month.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
People, let's not fool ourselves here, thing is both vast and dangerous and we are so far over our heads we can barely see daylight. We would all be much better off if the Stargate had been left in the ground.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
With respect, sir, we can't bury our heads in the sand, I mean think of how much we could learn, think of what we could bring back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What you could bring back is precisely what I'm afraid of Captain. However the President of the United States happens to agree with you. In the event your theories pan out he has ordered the formation of nine teams, whose duties will be to perform reconnaissance, determine threats and if possible to make peaceful contact with the people's of these worlds. Now these teams will operate on a covert top secret basis, no one will know of their existence except the President and the Joint Chiefs. Colonel O'Neill?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Your team will be designated SG-1. The team will consist of yourself, Captain Carter…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Doctor Jackson, we need you to work as a consultant with the other SG teams from here, your expertise in ancient cultures and languages are far too valuable…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No. Um, look I, I mean I know this is your decision but I just…I…really have to be no their team. My wife is out there General, I need to go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'll take that under consideration. Major Kawalski, you will head SG-2.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
I will?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill keeps telling me it's about time you had a command.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(When Kawalski looks over to him) 
I had a moment of weakness.</blockquote>

[An airman enters and hands a note to Samuels.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Ferretti's conscious, sir.</blockquote>

[O'Neill leaps up and leaves.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Dismissed.</blockquote>

[They all follow.]

'''INT—INFIRMARY'''

[Ferretti is sitting kind of upright, still tubed and looking rough, with a laptop on the table over his bed. Carter moves to his side.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(To nurse) 
I'll take over now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know you're probably not feeling so hot, but we need something from you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Seeing what Ferretti brings up on the screen) 
Look's like he's way ahead of you, Colonel.</blockquote>

[They watch as he calls us seven Gate symbols.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You saw all seven symbols? This is where they went?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
Mmm…</blockquote>

'''INT—CORRIDOR, LATER'''

[SG-1 and Samuels walks through the corridor, geared up for travel.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Colonel I'd like to remind you that rescuing Doctor Daniel's wife is a secondary objective, in the even you fail to notify base camp within 24 hours SG-2 will scrub the mission and return without you.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Not going to happen, Colonel. SG-2 won't leave without you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
All right, let's confirm transmitter codes, remember only the right code will open the iris and if you lose your transmitter, you cannot get home.</blockquote>

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

[They enter the Gate Room as the Gate activates.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND (On Intercom) 
SG-1, SG-2, if you do not return in 24 hours your remote transmitter codes will be locked out and the iris will be sealed permanently. At that point there will be no return. Is that understood?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir. 
(He salutes) 
Let's move out.</blockquote>

[They move up the ramp, Daniel among them.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
(To Kawalski) 
I kinda wish I was going with you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah? I'm kinda glad you're staying behind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
All right, let's go, boys.</blockquote>

[They step through.]

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET'''

[They roll out of the wormhole, and get to their feet.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Damn it, it's cold.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay, people let's get the gear out, let's move.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Sneezes) 
Anybody have Kleenex?</blockquote>

'''INT—RA'S PALACE, THE WOMEN'S HOLDING CELL'''

[Teal'c points to where Sha're is sitting.]

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

[They seize her.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No! No!</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, THE STARGATE'''

[Daniel is standing over the DHD.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, it must be some kind of ceremonial place, the Gate is…has to be an integral part of their spiritual culture. See this place was built for worshippers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah well let's just try and be out of here before the worshippees turn up huh? You figure out yet how to align this Gate to get back home?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah, the device is the same as on Abydos, this symbol represents…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You brief Kawalski's team yet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, this symbol represents…</blockquote>

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

[O'Neill walks over to Kawalski.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
We'll have to set up camp where there's better cover Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Sirs, I found what looks like a trail on the mountain, looks like it's seen traffic in the last couple of days.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you, airman. Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I've set up a line of claymores along that ridge at ten metre intervals.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sound about right, Kawalski?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah, that'll work.</blockquote>

[Carter shoots him a disgusted look and continues laying the cable.]

'''INT—RA' PALACE, HIS ROOM'''

[Sha're is brought in, fighting the guards.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No!</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Come.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No! No! No! 
(She bites one of the guards)</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
(Laughing) 
This one has spirit!</blockquote>

[He subdues her with the hand device and they remove her clothes, placing her on the slab. The woman comes out and her symbiote appears from the pouch.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Does she please you, my love?</blockquote>

[The symbiote comes out and lays on Sha're's stomach. The guards turn her over and it enters her though the neck. She screams.]

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET'''

[The FRED leads the way as SG-1 and SG-2 look for a place to set up base camp.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
This looks like a good spot right up here. 
(They stop)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, if we're not back in 20 hours…</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
We'll come rescue your sorry asses.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Negative, you'll go back through the Gate with the combination Daniel just gave you before the iris is locked so you can't go back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yes, sir. 
(He salutes)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Salutes back) 
Hold down the fort.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Pick me up a T-shirt.</blockquote>

[SG-1 take off.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, Doctor Jackson, tell me more about Sha're. How did you meet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're, well, she, uh…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
She was a gift.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
She was, actually, from the elders of Abydos the first time we were there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And you accepted?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hold up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

[He motions for them to get to cover, and they observe a troupe of figures heading their way. Dressed in robes and holding staffs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right Captain, take up position fifty yards…</blockquote>

[Daniel breaks cover and jumps out in front of the figures.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh for crying out loud!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(To the aliens) 
Hi, uhm…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Coming out of hiding with Carter) 
The man has not changed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, w-w-we just came through the Stargate. 
(He gets no response) 
Uh, the uh, Chapaa-ai…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Chapaa-ai! 
(All the aliens kneel down in reverence)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, please don't do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Friends of yours?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Unless we want to give ourselves a bad reputation I just think we should avoid shooting the first people we meet on a new planet. 
(He looks to the aliens and they bow their heads)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, please, you don't have to do this. 
(He lifts the leader up)</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Chula a lazla?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Lazla…? Choose…They want to know if we're here to choose. 
(O'Neill waves a hand 'yes') 
Uh, sure, we…we can choose…choosing is good. 
(To O'Neill) 
It's uh, a derivation of Arabic combined with…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, yeah, all right whatever, just ask 'em to take us to the nearest village or town.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(To aliens) 
Uh, would you take us to, uh, uhm, arush? Arush?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Yah, alla. Chulak. Chulak. 
(He leads the way)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Chulak, eh?</blockquote>

[They all follow the aliens to a rise where they overlook a town.]

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Chulak!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Chulak, s-sounds good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I hear it's nice this time of year.</blockquote>

[They walk on towards the village, entering a courtyard and then into a room where people are eating and celebrating. The room falls silent as the alien announces them]

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Atuhara a lazla.</blockquote>

[They are led to seats around the table on the floor, all the people are staring at them.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why are they treating us like this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They think we're gods.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay, we're gods. Now what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I have no idea.</blockquote>

[Someone blows an instrument emitting a low pitched note and all the people bow down low, we can hear footsteps from far away, heavy footsteps. Daniel bows down too, looking to the others.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
When in Rome.</blockquote>

[They all bow their heads and observe a troupe of Jaffa enter the room, then Teal'c, then Apophis and Sha're at his side.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Behold, your Queen. 
(He unveils Sha're)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're? 
(He darts out towards them)</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Kneel before your queen!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're, it's me.</blockquote>

[Sha're's eyes glow, and Apophis lifts his hand device, using it to throw Daniel across the room against a far wall. O'Neill raises his gun to shoot Apophis but Sha're steps in the way and a guard hits O'Neill over the head, knocking him out.]

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Samuels enters to find Hammond alone in the dark room.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
You wanted to see me, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Once we seal the iris we can still get a transmission from our teams?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Yes, sir, but we couldn't be sure it's not the aliens. Or one of our own people under duress of torture, sealing the Stargate is the best way…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How much longer do they have?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Just under two hours, sir.</blockquote>

'''INT—RA'S PALACE, HOLDING ROOM'''

[We see Daniel unconscious, murmuring. Carter attempts to wake him.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Daniel…Daniel…</blockquote>p;

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Waking) 
Whoa…Sha're!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Whoa, easy, you've been unconscious for hours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, I saw her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I know, we all did.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I was Sha're, she was…</blockquote>

[He gets to his feet and O'Neill moves over to them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well if there's way out of here I haven't found it yet. But look what I did find.</blockquote>

[Skarra approaches them.]

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Daniel! You're okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I think so. 
(They hug, Daniel coughs and they ease him to the floor)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Easy big guy, welcome back to the land of the conscious.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
O'Neill told me about Sha're.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack, help me. We can find her again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel…don't. If we can't find our way out of here the mission's a bust anyway, they seal the Gate in just over 90 minutes. C'mon Skarra let's find a way out of here.</blockquote>

[A guard, Teal'c, grabs O'Neill's arm tightly.]

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What is this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(In discomfort) 
It's a watch.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Revealing his face) 
This is not Goa'uld technology. Where are you from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Earth, Chicago if you want to be specific.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Your words mean nothing to me. Where are you from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, excuse me… 
(He draws a symbol on the ground) 
This is where we're from.</blockquote>

[Teal'c scrapes a line through the symbol and walk away.]

'''EXT—CHULAK, BASE CAMP'''

[Kawalski emerges from a tent in the windy desert.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Warren let's go, rise and shine. The sun is…the suns are coming up. We're going to be all right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARREN 
We can't go through another night like that, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALKSI 
Yeah, gets a little chilly on this planet at night. The Colonel should've sent us a radio message by now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARREN 
When do you have to make your decision, whether or not to go back through the Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
That'll be about when hell freezes over.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARREN 
I think that pretty much describes our current situation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
We are not leaving here without the Colonel, is that understood? Another fine day on planet Kawalski.</blockquote>

'''INT—RA'S PALACE, HOLDING ROOM'''

[O'Neill is testing the strength of bars on one of the room's windows. He climbs down to rejoin Skarra. Carter is sitting with Daniel a small distance away.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
So Ra isn't dead after all.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, it wasn't Ra. It was Apophis.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Who?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Um, it's from Egyptian mythology, Ra was the sun god who ruled the day, Apophis was the serpent guard, Ra's rival who ruled the night. It's right out of 'the book of the dead'. They're living it.</blockquote>

[We see O'Neill and Skarra walking the room's perimeters.]

<blockquote>SKARRA 
We will save Sha're?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I can't promise you anything at the moment…</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
But you are a great warrior! We defeated Ra together!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know, but take a look around here. Look what we're up against. We'll try.</blockquote>

[They move over to the others as the doors open and guards march in, led by Teal'c.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Shaka ha! Kree hol mel, Goa'uld!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(To Skarra) 
What'd he say?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
They're going to choose.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Choose what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Who will be the children of the gods.</blockquote>

[A royal box is brought in and Apophis emerges from it.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Jaffa!</blockquote>

[He helps Sha're out from the box.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're. Jack, help me please.</blockquote>

[He surges forward but Carter and O'Neill pull him back.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, don't, don't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Benna! Ya wan, ya daru! Kneel before your masters!</blockquote>

[Guards move among the people making them kneel. O'Neill catches Teal'c's eye who gives him a look, asking him to kneel by his expression. O'Neill nods imperceptibly and kneels. Skarra does not yet.]

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

[Skarra kneels. Robed Goa'uld move among the prisoners.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Benna, ya wan ya daru! Choose!</blockquote>

[A guards brings forth a prisoner and holds him up for the Goa'uld.]

<blockquote>GOA'ULD 
No. 
(He moves to another) 
This one. We choose this one. 
(She is escorted away)</blockquote>

[They approach where SG-1 are kneeling and Daniel leaps forward, grabbing one of them. Guards prevent O'Neill from interfering.]

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

<blockquote>GOA'ULD 
This one is passionate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How much would I remember if you chose me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, what are you doing? 
(A guards taps him with a staff weapon in warning)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Distressed) 
Something of the host must survive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GOA'ULD 
We choose…him. 
(Points to Skarra)</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
(He is grabbed) 
Na-nay, na nay! Jack! Jack!</blockquote>

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

[O'Neill jumps forward but a guard hits him on the nose with a staff weapon. Skarra is dragged off, screaming O'Neill's name over and over.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Kill the rest.</blockquote>

[The prisoners scream and run to the back of the room as Apophis and the Goa'uld leave. Teal'c and his guards remain. They advance and ready their weapons, Teal'c at the front of them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(To Teal'c) 
I can save these people! Help me! Help me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Many have said that. 
(He turns and fires on his own guards, than throws his weapon to O'Neill) 
But you are the first I believe could do it!</blockquote>

[A firefight ensues, O'Neill and Teal'c kill the guards and scare away the ones at the door. O'Neill heads back for the back wall.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get out of the way!</blockquote>

[The prisoners scatter and he fires at the wall, creating an opening. He checks it.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on, let's move!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Come on, come on!</blockquote>

[The people stream through.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Come on, move, go, come on!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on!</blockquote>

[Teal'c drops his helmet to the floor in the empty holding room as O'Neill and Daniel help prisoners through the opening.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You going to be okay?</blockquote>

[Daniel nods and leaves through the gap. O'Neill looks back to Teal'c.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, c'mon!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I have nowhere to go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
For this you can stay at my place. Let's go.</blockquote>

[He joins O'Neill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's your name?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, where will they take Skarra, the boy?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
To the Stargate, after they've selected hosts for their children they will return home.</blockquote>

[They follow the stream of prisoners heading for the Gate.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Hammond is in his office, overlooking the Gate.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Sir they have just under an hour until the deadline. We should've heard from them by now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
A lot can happen in an hour, Major.</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET'''

[O'Neill and SG-1 leads the prisoners at a fast pace.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We've got less than an hour, how we doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We lost a few when we got to the forest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They will be hunted down and killed. Anyone who does not exist to serve the gods is their enemy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And that makes you…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am Jaffa. Bred to serve, that they may live.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I…I don't understand.</blockquote>

[Teal'c stops and reveals his pouch and his symbiote. The prisoners nearby scream.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What the hell is that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is an infant Goa'uld, the larval form of the gods, I have carried one since I was a child, as all Jaffa carry one.</blockquote>

[They resume their walk.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get it out of there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
In exchange for carrying the infant Goa'uld until maturity, a Jaffa receives perfect health and long life. If I were to remove it I would eventually die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, well if I were you I'd take my chances.</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

[A ship flies down and hovers over the Gate.A small distance away O'Neill urges the prisoners over the crest of a hill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right come on people, let's go, let's move! 
(They move)</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(To O'Neill) 
The boy you seek is no longer who he was.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't want to hear that.</blockquote>

[At the Stargate, the ship's belly reveals a ring device which transports down Goa'uld's including Skarra, Apophis and Sha're. The ship flies off. As the prisoners and SG-1 near the Gate a Goa'uld glider swoops over them, readying its guns.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Take cover!</blockquote>

[The ship fires as the prisoners scatter—O'Neill and Teal'c return fire but make no difference.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, we're sitting ducks here!</blockquote>

[At the Stargate, Apophis dials out. As O'Neill and Teal'c fire ineffectually at the ship, suddenly we see over the shoulder of a soldier who fires a ground to air missile from a shoulder mounted firing device. It hits and destroys the ship. At the Stargate Apophis sees the explosion and steps through the Stargate. The prisoners cheer and O'Neill looks up to where the missile came from.]

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah! 
(Waves from the hill)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Turning to the prisoners) 
C'mon folks, up the hill!</blockquote>

[Kawalski moves down to help O'Neill up.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Great shot! How many are there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
About a dozen, maybe more. They're headed for the Gate.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
He's with them. Colonel, we don't have much time before they lock us out.</blockquote>

[They run up the hill with the others, Kawalski taking a lead position.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Warren, Casey, on my right!</blockquote>

[They position themselves at the crest of the hill, overlooking the Stargate. O'Neill sees Skarra bout to enter the Gate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No. No. 
(He runs down the hill)</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Colonel! Sir!</blockquote>

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

[Skarra turns and smiles.]

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

[Skarra's smile disappears, his eyes glow and he hits O'Neill with his hand device. O'Neill is thrown back and hits the ground as Skarra leaves and the Gate deactivates. O'Neill gets to his feet as the others run down to him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Did you see the symbols?</blockquote>

[O'Neill shakes his head.]

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Hammond is still overlooking the Gate Room. Samuels enters.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Sir the deadline has been reached, standing by to seal off Stargate, sir. 
(Hammond doesn't respond) 
Awaiting your order, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
In a minute, Major.</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET'''

[Warren and Casey are on the hill, looking back to the forest with binoculars when they spot movement.]

<blockquote>WARREN 
(Into radio) 
Sir we've got movement in the trees, a lot of movement in the trees. We've got hostiles, sir, hostiles closing in!</blockquote>

[At the Stargate, Kawalski takes control.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
All right people we're going on a little field trip. Daniel get busy on that Stargate, we've got company. Captain arm your claymores. Me, Casey and Warren'll be the last men out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Negative. That's my job. Captain, help Daniel, once you've sent the signal I want you to go through, tell them we're bringing company.</blockquote>

[Everyone flocks to the Stargate.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
(Into his radio) 
Warren, give me an update!</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARREN 
(Into his radio) 
Looks like a whole battalion, sir. 200 yards and closing.</blockquote>

[Kawalski readies the claymores as Carter stands with Daniel who is searching for the Stargate address in his notebook.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Doctor Jackson?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I've got it, I know I have it here, I know I've got it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Come on!</blockquote>

[On the hill, the Warren and Casey fall to their bellies as they spy forces coming from the trees.]

<blockquote>WARREN 
(Into radio) 
Sir, we've got hostiles coming out of the trees.</blockquote>

[They start firing on the advancing Jaffa guards.]

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Hammond and Samuels are still standing overlooking the Gate Room.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
All right. Seal it off, lock out their transmitters.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Yes, sir! 
(He leaves)</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(He finds the address finally) 
Oh here! 
(He laughs)</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Go go!</blockquote>

[He starts dialling. On the hill the soldiers are being overpowered.]

<blockquote>WARREN 
(Into radio) 
We can't hold them, sir!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(To Carter) 
Send the signal as soon as it opens Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(To Kawalski) 
Pull 'em out!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
(Into radio) 
Fall back, fall back!</blockquote>

[The Gate opens.]

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Samuels runs up the stairs.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Sir a wormhole has just been established on the other side.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(Heading down the stairs) 
Delay my last order, do not seal the Gate or lock out their transmitter codes.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(Entering Control Room) 
Do we have a remote transmitter signal?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
No signal yet General.</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Is it working?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well let's hope so, if not I'll be the first to know.</blockquote>

'''INT—CONTROL ROOM'''

[We see on the computer that the transmitter code has been received.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
Oh wait, there it is.</blockquote>

[They look to the Gate and watch as the iris opens.]

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

[Warren and Casey run down the hill from their positions, towards the Stargate. They take defensive positions behind rock and continue firing on the guards as they reach the crest of the hill. We see Carter step through the Gate and Daniel starts to encourage the prisoners to go after her.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Come on, come on, come on.</blockquote>

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

<blockquote>[We see Carter roll through the Gate onto the ramp and stand, putting out a hand as two prisoners follow after her and the soldiers around the Gate raise their guns.]</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hold your fire! They're refugees! 
(She helps them to their feet)</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(On the intercom) 
I hope you know what you're doing Captain.</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

[They are still firing against the guards as Daniel gets the last of the prisoners through the Gate.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Come on, two of you, two of you!</blockquote>

[The guards step over the crest of the hill and O'Neill turns to Kawalski.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hit the claymores!</blockquote>

[Kawalski does so and they explode, taking a line of guards with them. He hits another and another and the guards go down in droves. But there are still more and one of the prisoners is hit by enemy fire.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Come on, come on. We need cover here!</blockquote>

[Kawalski stands from his hiding place and screams, firing his weapon wildly. Daniel gets the last refugee through the Gate.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's it!</blockquote>

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

[Daniel pauses for one reluctant second and then runs through the Gate. ]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[We see Daniel pop through the Gate on the other side.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
They behind you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I hope so.</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

[Kawalski runs for the Gate, as do the other soldiers.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Go, go, go!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Colonel, more hostiles, eight o'clock.</blockquote>

[They retreat while firing on the encroaching guards. Casey is hit by a staff blast.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Casey!</blockquote>

[Kawalski and O'Neill move to him and drag him towards the Gate, setting him down on the steps, always firing their weapons. We see one of the prisoners who had stayed wrestling a guard—squeezing him to death. The guard fall near to Kawalski and we see its symbiote rise out of its pouch, it flies through the air and whips into Kawalski's neck. He freezes, then groans, and it disappears into his neck. Teal'c and the prisoner leap through the Gate.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[The prisoner jumps out of the Gate and the soldiers cock their weapons, as Teal'c come through Carter and Daniel call out simultaneously to stop them firing.]

<blockquote>CARTER AND DANIEL 
Whoa! Hold your fire! Hold your fire!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They're with us! 
(She walks up to Teal'c and receives his weapon from him with a nod)</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

[O'Neill and Kawalski pick up Casey and run through the Gate—the guards are close on their heels and run through the Gate after them.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[The three fall through the Gate, Casey collapses to the ramp.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Now! Lock it up, lock it up!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
(Over the intercom) 
Closing iris!</blockquote>

[The iris closes and they hear four metallic thuds as the guards that followed hit the metal. Then the sounds stop.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
(Over the intercom) 
Wormhole disengaged.</blockquote>

[The iris opens. Medics rush up the ramp as they are called.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Medic! Medic</blockquote>!

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You got him? 
(To Kawalski, motioning to Casey)</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah, I got him, thanks. Hold on here, get these people back.</blockquote>

[The refugees surge forward and circle Carter and O'Neill, hugging and thanking them warmly.]

<blockquote>MEDIC 
We've got to help these people, please.</blockquote>

[Hammond walks up the ramp, amidst the confusion as Samuels clear the way for the medics.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Let's go, man down, stand back! Stand back!</blockquote>

[The medics lift Casey on to a stretcher.]

<blockquote>MEDIC 
Let's get him to the infirmary, let's get him inside. 
(They depart)</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill. Care to explain?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Um, we can use the Stargate to send these people home, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What's he doing here? 
(Motioning to Teal'c)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General Hammond, this is Teal'c. He can help us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Do you know what he is?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir I do, he's the man who saved our lives. And if you accept my recommendation, sir…he'll join SG-1.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That decision may not be up to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Stand back, let's get him off the ramp.</blockquote>

[Kawalski is on his knees, looking a little distressed.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Kawalski, are you all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah, I'm good. 
(He stands and regains his composure)</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill, Major Kawalski, this sure-to-be-very-interesting debriefing for SG units 1 and 2 will be at 0730.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
All right, let's get these people situated.</blockquote>

[They leave the Gate Room, leaving Teal'c, Carter, Daniel and O'Neill standing at the base of the ramp. Daniel looks back to the Gate.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
She's out there somewhere, Jack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know. So's Skarra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So what do we do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We find 'em.</blockquote>

[He leaves and the others follow, behind them we see that Kawalski is still standing at the top of the ramp, almost inside the Gate. He walks down the ramp towards the camera and as he gets close, his eyes glow.]

'''TEASER'''

'''FADE IN'''

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Four soldiers are sitting on duty around a table at the bottom of the ramp, playing cards.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Oh man, his hand's as lousy as his detail. All right, everybody, ante up. 
(Looking to female soldier) 
That's you too. 
(He deals) 
Seven to the duece, nothing there. Boss and the eight, nothing happening. Queen to the king, possible straight going there. Eight on the eight, and the jack gets a boss, eight's open.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
Aren't you guys afraid of an officer coming down here or something?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
Trust me, nobody ever comes down here but us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
(Looking to the slightly billowing Stargate cover) 
Does that thing always do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Do what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
Whatever it is under the tarp, I just…saw it move or do something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
Probably the only thing it ever did was cost money.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Yeah and it looks like they ran out of that, they've been shipping personnel out of here for months.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
(Seeing tarp move again) 
I'm telling you, the thing is moving!</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
If you don't have the straight, just fold.</blockquote>

[She gets up from her seat and makes towards the Gate.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
(Agitated) 
Can we take that as a fold?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
Just finish the hand, she's out.</blockquote>

[The female soldier approaches the Gate and starts up the ramp, it starts shaking suddenly, they hear a rumbling sound and she backs away down the ramp as it shakes along with the table where the other soldiers are seated. The jump to their feet, hands to their guns.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 3 
What the…?</blockquote>

[The tarp flies from the Gate and reveals the Gate spinning and active.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 3 
Whoa!</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
I take it this has never happened before?</blockquote>

[Soldier 2 goes to the red phone on the wall as the other stand ready at the base of the ramp. The Gate activates—the kerwhoosh expands outwards and he drops the phone, the others falling to the ground as the Gate billows out towards them. Soldier One passes out guns and they cock them, standing and waiting in front of the Gate. The female soldier starts up the ramp.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
What are you doing?</blockquote>

[As she reaches the Gate a ball drops through it to her feet, glows and seems to scan her bodily. It falls still and she bends down to touch it.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 3 
What are you doing? Don't touch it!</blockquote>

[She picks it up, looking back to tem in cofusion. Then a serpent guard steps through the Gate right on top of her, taking a hold of her round the neck and taking her gun. The other soldiers cock their guns.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Hold your fire!</blockquote>

[More serpent guards come through the Gate.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Hold it…identify yourself!</blockquote>

[The last figure steps through the Gate, his armour made of gold. He stands in front of his seven guards and reveals his face—a human face.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Jaffa! Kree!</blockquote>

[The guard holding the female soldier reveals his face, and Apophis turns to him.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Teal'c, kree!</blockquote>

[Teal'c drops the female soldier's gun and passes her to Apophis roughly.]

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
Get your hands off me!</blockquote>

[Apophis brings his hand up and a device emits a glow that latches on to her face, she becomes calm.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER! 
Let her go!</blockquote>

[One of the serpent guards fires with his staff weapon and a fire fight ensues. Teal'c covers the female soldier with his body as the bullets bounce off the Goa'uld armour. Apophis sees one of his guards go down.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Kree! Jaffa! 
(He waves them back)</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
(Reaching for the phone desperately) 
We've got Jaffa down here we need…</blockquote>

[He is hit by a staff blast and goes down. All the soldiers are hit and go down. The base alarms have started sounding.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Tyger. A-lada spryng.</blockquote>

'''INT—BASE CORRIDORS'''

[Soldiers are running for the Gate room.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Go, go!</blockquote>

[The Mountain doors close.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

<blockquote>[General Hammond and the soldiers stream in and take position, all but Apophis, the female soldier and two of his guards are gone, one picks up the scanning device. The soldiers cock their guns.]</blockquote>

<blockquote>GENERAL HAMMOND 
Hold your fire!</blockquote>

[Apophis' eyes glow, his helmet goes up and they retreat through the Gate, it dissipates.]

'''END OF TEASER'''

'''EXT—OUTSIDE O'NEILL'S HOUSE'''

[An officer gets out of his car and walks towards the house, he knocks on the door. A soldier accompanying him moves round to the side of the house.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Sir, there's a ladder over here.</blockquote>

[They climb up to a tree house in the garden where O'Neill has his eye to a telescope pointing to the sky.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Colonel Jack O'Neill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Not looking at him) 
Retired.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
I'm Major Samuels.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Air Force?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Yes, sir, I'm the General's Executive Officer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Want a little piece of advice Major? Get re-assed to NASA. That's where all the action's going to be. Out there. 
(We see what he sees through the scope—a galaxy formation)</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
I'm uh, I'm under orders to bring you to see General Hammond, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Never heard of him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
He replaced General West. He says it's important. Has to do with the Stargate.</blockquote>

[O'Neill finally looks around, interested.]

'''EXT—MOUNTAIN BASE'''

[We see Samuel's car enter the base.]

'''INT—LIFT'''

[O'Neill is accompanied by an officer down to sublevel 11. They walk down the corridor.]

<blockquote>INTERCOM 
Tag team number nine to sublevel two vent shaft twenty-four.</blockquote>

[O'Neill signs in at the desk and they head for a second elevator.]

<blockquote>OFFICER 
We have to take a second elevator the rest of the way, sir, it's a long way down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Entering the lift) 
Yeah I know, I've been here before.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OFFICER 
Ah, of course.</blockquote>

[The lift descends and they get out, Samuels is at the end of the corridor.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
This way, sir. 
(He indicates to a door)</blockquote>

[Samuels follows O'Neill and the officer takes his previous position.]

'''INT—HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

[There are two knocks on the door.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Come.</blockquote>

[Samuels and O'Neill enter.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
General Hammond, Colonel Jack O'Neill.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I can see that. Me I'm on my last tour. Time to get my thoughts together, maybe write a book. You ever think of writing a book of your exploits in the line of duty?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I've thought about it, but then I'd have to shoot anyone that actually read it. 
(Getting no response) 
That's a joke, sir, most of my work over the last ten years was classified.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Yes, of course.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Major Samuels mentioned something about the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Down to business, I can do that. 
(Standing) 
This way.</blockquote>

[They all leave the office.]

'''INT—LAB'''

[A doctor pulls back a sheet from dead Jaffa's face.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Anyone you know, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DOCTOR 
They're not human.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ya think?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DOCTOR 
Best we can tell these slits are actually a pouch, similar to that found in a marsupial.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Like a kangaroo.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DOCTOR 
We haven't done an autopsy yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
These people or aliens, whatever you want to call them…came through…killed four of my people and kidnapped another using advanced weapons.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Weapons, sir?</blockquote>

[An airman brings forwards a staff weapon and Hammond hands in to O'Neill.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
We can't figure out how they operate.</blockquote>

[With confidence, O'Neill activates and them deactivates the weapon.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Seen one before, I take it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir, 
(Hands the weapon back) 
but there are no creatures like this on Abydos. These people were human, they were from Earth. Ra brought 'em there thousands of years ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I know all about that, but your report said this Ra was in fact some kind of alien that lived inside a human body.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah his eyes glowed, that was our first clue.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Are you sure he's dead, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Unless he could survive a tactical nuclear warhead blowing up in his face, positive. Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
These people, or whatever they are, were guarding another man who retreated back through the Stargate. I got a good look at his eyes Colonel. They glowed.</blockquote>

'''INT—CORRIDOR'''

[Hammond, O'Neill and Samuels are walking.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How do you feel about the Stargate mission after all this time, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How do you mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, it's been over a year. Has your perspective changed?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, sir I… 
(He sees Ferretti and Kawalsky through a door)</blockquote>

[They enter Hammond's office again.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Was that…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Kawalsky and Ferretti yes, they were under your command on the first Stargate mission. 
(O'Neill sees his men led into an adjoining room though a window) 
Tell me about Daniel Jackson, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why are they questioning my men?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
They're not your men anymore, Colonel—you retired. Daniel Jackson.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You read the report?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's all there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's this all about, General?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You didn't like Daniel Jackson, did you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel was a scientist. He sneezed a lot. Basically he was a geek, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
So you didn't have a lot of time for him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I didn't say that. He also saved my life and found the way home for my men and me—little thing like that kinda makes a person grow on ya, know what I mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
According to the mission brief your orders were to go through the Stargate to detect any possible threat to earth and if found, to detonate a nuclear devise and destroy the Gate on the other side.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
But that's not what you did, is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not right away. Ra's forces overpowered my team and took the weapon before I could arm it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
But with Doctor Daniel's help you eventually regained control and did in fact detonate the weapon. Yes?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
So to the best of your knowledge Daniel Jackson and everyone else you knew on Abydos is dead, correct?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's correct.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Good. 
(He rises from his seat) 
Then you won't mind if I authorise a go ahead on our plan.</blockquote>

'''INT—CORRIDOR'''

[They leave the office.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This quartz material the Stargates are made of, must be tough stuff if it can withstand a Mark 3.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well we sent a robot probe through after we got back, sir, it was flattened on the other end. Obviously the Abydos Stargate had been buried in the rubble.</blockquote>

[They enter the Gate room.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, somehow it got unburied.</blockquote>

[There is a bomb being prepped at the bottom of the Stargate ramp.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh my God. You're sending another bomb?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Mark 5 this time. If these creatures did reopen the Abydos Gate we intend to reseal it for good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, you can't do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Countdown's already started. Unless you have something to add.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(After a long pause) 
General Hammond…Sir. I regret to inform you that my report was not entirely accurate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You didn't detonate the bomb.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, I did detonate the bomb, sir, and it was aboard Ra's spacecraft, so it did kill him and eliminate the risk to Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
However?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
However…Ra's ship was in orbit above the planet at the time, neither the Gate nor anything else on the planet was destroyed. Daniel Jackson is alive and living with the people on Abydos.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You violated direct orders why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Because the people of Abydos are no threat to us. They deserve to be left alone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That's not up to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
With all due respect, sir—if I'd come back here and reported the Gate on the other side was still intact we would have sent another bomb, just like you were about to. It wasn't necessary to let those people die. The threat from Ra was gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
What about the probe we sent through? It was crushed instantly.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
After we came home Daniel buried the Gate in rocks making my return or anybody else's impossible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Those four bodies lying in the infirmary say otherwise Airman.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(After a thoughtful pause) 
We'll send the bomb through on schedule.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, you can't do that!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Oh, I can't?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There are innocent people on that planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
There are innocent people here! I have my orders too Colonel, I obey mine. Take Colonel O'Neill to the holding room, let's give him some time to think about things while I decide what to do with him. 
(As he leaves) 
Sergeant…</blockquote>

[Two officers flank O'Neill and he walks off between them.]

'''INT—HOLDING ROOM'''

[O'Neill is led inside and the door is shut. Kawalski rises from one of the bunks and salutes crisply.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Colonel O'Neill, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm retired, Kawalski, lose the salute.</blockquote>

[Kawalski drops his hand and shakes O'Neill's hand, smiling.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Me and Ferretti didn't tell them anything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I appreciate that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Hey those kids on Abydos saved my life too. 
(He motions to the table and chairs in the room)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, the kids. 
(They sit)</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
They're the whole reason they kept the secret, right?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
That one kid idolised you, remember him? Weird name…what was it?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Right. Remember how he was always saluting you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, my kid used to do that when he was little. Skarra kinda reminded me of him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Oh man Colonel, you and me went through that whole mission together, I never even knew you had a son.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, he died. Just before the Abydos mission.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
I'm sorry, sir, I had no idea.</blockquote>

[The door opens and they stand as Hammond walks in.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How many people did you say were on Abydos?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That we saw, maybe five thousand. Does this mean you're reconsidering sending the bomb, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It means I'm open to suggestions.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, let me take a team through that Gate, we'll find out who those aliens are, Kawalski and I have been there before we know the lay of the land, we know the people.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You ''think'' you do, Daniel could be dead, you don't know what you'd be waking into.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sir, there is one way to find out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Right, we'll have the prototype probe shipped from MIT.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General we don't need that probe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
We don't?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, 
(Grabs the tissue box from the table) 
this'll do.</blockquote>

[He leaves the holding room and Kawalski and Hammond follow.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Soldiers surround the Gate, guns ready as the Stargate dials. O'Neill, Hammond, Samuels and Kawalski are in the viewing room.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN (Over Intercom) 
Chevron Four encoded!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Care to explain this concept?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN (Over Intercom) 
Chevron Five encoded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel has allergies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Oh, I get it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He'll know his came from me and not from someone, with all due respect, sir, like yourself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN (Over Intercom) 
Chevron Six encoded.</blockquote>

[O'Neill leaves the viewing room for the Gate room.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
Chevron Seven, locked.</blockquote>

[The Gate activates, and O'Neill walks up to it and tosses the tissue box through.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
The, um, object should reach final destination in five seconds, four, three, two, one. 
(The Gate dissipates) 
The object should now be through the Abydos Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Now what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Reentering the viewing room) 
Now we wait, if Daniel's still around he'll know what the message means.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
What if the aliens get it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, they could be blowing their noses right now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
They could be planning an attack!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Aw, come on Samuels, let me be the cynic around here, okay? 
(To Hammond) 
Sir, this could take some time.</blockquote>

[They leave the Control Room.]

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM, SOME TIME LATER'''

[They are all waiting when the Stargate rumbles to life.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Hammond, Samuels, Kawalski and O'Neill watch as the tissue box flies back through the Stargate and the Gate event horizon dissipates. O'Neill picks up the box, and smiles. He hands it to Samuels and he and Hammond see that written on its side are the words 'THANKS, SEND MORE.']

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Permission to take a team through the Stargate, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Assuming I get the President's authorisation, the mission briefing will be at 0800 hours. Consider yourself recalled to active duty Colonel.</blockquote>

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Hammond enters the room.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Ten hut.</blockquote>

[The occupants, including O'Neill, salute.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Gentlemen, take your seats.</blockquote>

[Seven occupants of the room sit at the table, O'Neill remains standing by his chair.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Where's Captain Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Just arriving, sir.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm assigning Sam Carter to this mission.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'd prefer to put together my own team, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Not on this mission, sorry. Carter's our expert on the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where's he transferring from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
''She'' is transferring from the Pentagon.</blockquote>

[Carter enters the room, and moves to her seat at the table.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I take it you're Colonel O'Neill. 
(She salutes) 
Captain Samantha Carter reporting, sir.</blockquote>

[O'Neill salutes back.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
But of course you go by Sam.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You don't have to worry, Major, I played with dolls when I was a kid.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
GI Joe?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, Major Matt Mason.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Oh… 
(To Ferretti) 
Who?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
Major Matt Mason, astronaut doll. Did you have that cool little backpack that made him fly?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Let's get started, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you. 
(Carter sits) 
Those of you on your first trip through the Gate, you should be prepared for what to expect.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I've practically memorised your report from the first mission, I'd like to think I've been preparing for this my whole life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
I think what the Colonel is saying is, have you ever pulled out of a simulated bombing run in an F-16 at 8-plus G's?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
(Surprised) 
Well, it's way worse than that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
By the time you get to the other side you're frozen stiff, like you've just been through a blizzard, naked. 
(He and Kawalski grin at each other)</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's a result of the compression your molecules undergo during the millisecond required for reconstitution.</blockquote>

O'NEILL <blockquote>
Oh here we go, another scientist, General ''please.''</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Theoretical astrophysicist.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Which means?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Which means she is smarter than you are Colonel. Especially in matters related to the Stargate.</blockquote>

[Kawalski and Ferretti are sniggering, O'Neill looks over to them and they stop abruptly.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, I was studying the Gate technology for two years before Daniel Jackson made it work and before you both went through. I should have gone through then. But, sir, you and your men might as well accept the fact that I am going through this time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well with all due respect Doctor I…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It is appropriate to refer to a person by their rank, not their salutation. You should call me Captain, not Doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Captain Carter's assignment to this unit is not an option, it's an order.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm an Air Force officer just like you are, Colonel, and just because my reproductive organs are on the inside instead of the outside, doesn't mean I can't handle whatever you can handle.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Smiling) 
Oh, this has nothing to do with you being a woman. I ''like'' women. I just have a little problem with scientists.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, I logged over a hundred hours in enemy airspace during the Gulf War. Is that tough enough for you? Or are we going to have to arm wrestle?</blockquote>

[O'Neill raises his eyebrows in amusement.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
I hate to throw a damper on your enthusiasm, but I still say the safest most logical way to deal with this is to bury the Stargate, just like the ancient Egyptians did, make it impossible for the aliens to return. It's the only way to eliminate the threat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Except it won't work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It worked before.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They know what we are now, they know ho far we've come, we're a threat to them. They've got ships General, Ra had one as big as the great pyramid, they don't need the Stargate to get here they can do it the old fashioned way. Now with all due respect to Mr Glass-is-half-empty over there don't you think maybe we should use the Stargate to do a little reconnaissance before they decide to come back…again?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'll give you exactly twenty-four hours to either return or send a message through, no Kleenex boxes please. Otherwise we'll assume the worst and send a bomb through.</blockquote>

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

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[The Gate activates, the Colonel, his team and Hammond enter the room.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Try to follow orders this time, Colonel.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This time you bring Daniel Jackson back, is that clear?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir.</blockquote>

[They salute.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Move out.</blockquote>

[His team walks through the Stargate, leaving Carter and O'Neill at the base of the ramp.]

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Don't worry, sir, I won't let you down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Good. I was going to say "ladies first."</blockquote>

[They walk to the even horizon.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
You know, you really will like me when you get to know me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, I adore you already, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Staring at the even horizon up close) 
My God, look at this! I mean, the energy the Gate must release to create a stable wormhole is…it's astronomical to use exactly the right word! 
(She touches it and it ripples) 
You can actually see the fluctuation on the even horizon!</blockquote>

[O'Neill shoves her through the Gate, then walks through after her.]

'''INT—ABYDOS STARGATE ROOM'''

[We see O'Neill emerge through the Gate and it dissipate behind him. His team are there getting eady. He approaches Carter, who is hunched over.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Ugh. I think I'm going to be sick, ugh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Maybe you shouldn't have had that big lunch, huh?</blockquote>

[They all move out into the apparently empty room when suddenly natives emerge from the shadows and point guns at them. They cock their own guns—at a stand off. Then Daniel pops up.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Cha'hari! Cha'hari. Lower your guns.</blockquote>

[The natives lower their weapons and relax.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hello, Jack, welcome back.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks towards him and then barges past to get to Skarra who stands behind him. Skarra salutes and O'Neill returns it with a smile, then they hug with a laugh.]

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

<blockquote>SKARRA 
O'Neill! I did not think to be seeing you again!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Turns to Daniel) 
Daniel, how you doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Good, you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Much better, now that I see everyone's okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
(Making the "live long and prosper" sign) 
Greetings from Earth, Doctor Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hello, Ferretti.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Brought you a little something, Daniel. 
(He hands Daniel a pocket pack of tissues)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Kawalski.</blockquote>

[Sha're emerges slightly at the side of the room.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're, don't be shy. 
(She joins him)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hi, 
(He hold out a hand to her) 
good to see you again. 
(They shake hands)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So I figure it was only a matter of time before you had to tell the truth about us still being here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yep. Why the militia, has something else come through?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, just taking precautions, why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Amazing, 
(Looking at the DHD) 
this is what was missing from the dig at Giza. This is how they controlled it! It took us fifteen years and three supercomputers to MacGyver a system on Earth.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Look how small it is!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Captain! 
(He motions to Daniel)</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh right, excuse me. 
(She turns to them) 
Doctor Jackson I presume, I'm Doctor Samantha Carter. 
(They shake hands)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thought you wanted to be called Captain?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What's going on, Jack?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Six hostile aliens came through the Stargate on Earth, four people are dead, one's missing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
One of them looked like Ra, Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, they didn't come from here. I mean the boys take shifts guarding it 36 hours a day, every day, we'd know if they came through here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well they came from somewhere Daniel, I'm going to have to look around.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I…I think I can help you find out who it was but, uh, it's going to have to wait until this sandstorm is over. Uh, we were about to have our evening meal. Why don't you join us?</blockquote>

'''INT—ABYDOS STARGATE ROOM, SOME TIME LATER'''

[O'Neill, his team, Daniel and many Abydonians are gathered in a circle on the floor, eating.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Everybody try this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
This too. 
(He hands out bowls of liquid)</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Drink. 
(He hands him a bowl)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(He sniffs it)
Moonshine?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Moon…shine?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, moonshine, as in booze, er…Daniel, what are you teaching these kids?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Try it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right. Skarra's moonshine. I'll give it a little shot. 
(Spits it out suddenly) 
Oh…God!</blockquote>

[Everyone laughs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Rasps) 
Smooth, very smooth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Moonshine!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Your little soldiers are all grown up, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, I'm so proud, whoa…</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
O'Neill…your lighter? 
(He holds out the lighter)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, it's yours, I gave that to you to keep. Remember?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Thank you. 
(He leaves)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You know he's never had that out of his sight the whole time you were gone.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So this…this man who looked like Ra, he must have come through another Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What other Gate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Another Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The Stargate only goes here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, no I think you're wrong about that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I was there, we ran hundreds of permutations.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
But you didn't have what you need.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel what are you talking about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Daniel, the storm has passed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'll show you. Sha're, ben quar ri, Jack and his friends…to see the vili tao an.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
Bonni wai?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I won't be long.</blockquote>

[Sha're kisses him and everyone whoops and laughs, O'Neill giving him a weird look.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
Goodbye, my Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Stunned) 
Bye.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Ferretti, hold the fort.</blockquote>

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

'''EXT—OUTSIDE THE PYRAMID'''

[Kawalski, O'Neill, Carter and Daniel emerge into the bright desert.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Boy, I can't say I've missed this place.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Come on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This is just incredible.</blockquote>

'''INT—CAVERN'''

[Torches light a tunnel leading inside the pyramid.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So I figured there had to be more to this place so I started exploring, just the area around the town and the pyramid at first and after about a month I found this place. Uh, Captain Doctor, you're going to love this.</blockquote>

[Torches light up a big room with elaborate drawing on the walls.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh my God, this is amazing, this is the archaeological find of the century.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So Daniel, you had a chance to translate this yet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I think so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What does it say?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, uh, it doesn't say anything. Actually it's sort of a chart, more of a…map.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well I haven't been able to analyse all of it, I mean look at it, it would take my whole life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well Daniel, we don't have that long. What's it a map of?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, the cartouches seem to be separated clearly into groupings, each grouping is attached to the others with a series of lines, and each grouping of glyphs contain seven symbols, so you can see where this is going of course.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Tell us anyway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
All of the symbols are on the Stargate in the Abydos chamber. I've also managed to chart some of them in the Abydos night sky, or at least pretty close. Jack I think that this is a map of a vast network of Stargates, Stargates that are…are all over the galaxy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh, I don't think that can be, Doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, because after Colonel O'Neill and his team came back my team tried hundreds of symbol permutations using Earth as the point of origin and it never worked.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I tried the same here and it didn't work either but I figured the destinations I tried were either destroyed or buried, but, um, I mean some of them somewhere must still exist.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Then where did your Ra lookalike come from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Look I don't pretend to know anything about Astrophysics but couldn't the planets change? I mean, uh, drift apart or something like that, to throw this map off?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I knew I'd like you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You mean I'm right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
According to the expanding universe model all bodies in the universe are constantly moving further apart…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So I the thousands of years since the Stargate was built…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
All the coordinates could have changed.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
DANIEL 
But why does it still work between Abydos and Earth?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Abydos is probably the closest planet in the network to Earth, I mean the closer they are the less the difference in relative position due to expansion—the further away the greater the difference. In a few thousand more years it won't work between Earth and Abydos either.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Unless you can adjust for the displacement.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Right, now with this map as a base that should be easy. All we have to do is correct for Doppler's Shift, then I should be able to arrive at a computer model that can predict the adjustments necessary to get the Gate working again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Okay, so what did we just figure out?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Any civilisation advanced enough to build this Gate network would be able to compensate for 50,000 years of stellar drift.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So…the Stargate can go other places?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The aliens could have come from anywhere.</blockquote>

'''INT—ABYDOS STARGATE ROOM'''

[The Abydonians are talking and laughing with the team and Ferretti. They watch Sha're walk past them.]

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
Man, you got to give Daniel credit. She is one beautiful woman.</blockquote>

[They turn as the Stargate starts to dial in.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
We got company, boys! Move, move! Take cover!</blockquote>

[They scatter to the edges of the room, hiding behind the pillars, holding their guns ready as the Stargate opens. Goa'uld guards walk through and start firing immediately, hitting a few Abyodonians, they fire back, as do the SG team. The Gao'uld have the upper hand quickly and Apophis looks on as they shoot the SG team down. Skarra sees Sha're and fires at the Goa'uld.]

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Sha're, shim rota! Shim rota!</blockquote>

[They seize her, she screams and Skarra steps forward but finds his gun jammed. He tries to fight but is grabbed.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No! Skarra!</blockquote>

[Teal'c's helmet opens to reveal his face to Skarra as he holds him.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This is not your weapon. Where did you get it?</blockquote>

[Skarra spits in his face. Teal'c brings him to Apophis, who lowers his helmet.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Good choice Teal'c. A perfect specimen.</blockquote>

[Apophis raises his hand device and knocks Skarra out with it.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No! Stop it! Stop it! Skarra! Skarra!</blockquote>

[She is taken to Apophis.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
You may be the one.</blockquote>

[He knocks her out with the hand device. A guard dials the Gate and we see Ferretti, injured and barely conscious, watching the dialling. They leave through the Gate and the Abydonians emerge as Daniel and the other return.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're! 
(He moves to an injured Abydonian) 
Bolaa…</blockquote>

<blockquote>BOLAA 
There's so…there's so many…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BOLAA 
So many of them…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's all right. Just tell me what happened.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BOLAA 
It was Ra…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's going on?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ra is dead. Tao qua Ra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BOLAA 
No…I saw…he took Sha're, he took Skarra…into the Chaapa-ai.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Where, did you see? Did you see?</blockquote>

[Bolaa's eyes close slowly and he dies.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
What's going on, Daniel? Could there be another Ra?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How in the hell should I know? I should have left the barricade up. This my fault.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Holding a hand to a fallen soldiers neck) 
Come on, come on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(At Ferretti's side) 
Colonel Ferretti needs medical attention now!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Go, help him, I can send you back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You're coming with us this time, Daniel. I've got orders.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Laughs) 
I don't care about your orders, Colonel. My wife is out there. So is Skarra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And the only way we're going to get 'em back is for you to come home with us. Ferretti might have seen those co-ordinates. Captain, do you have the video?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I've got everything I need.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
(Weak) 
Too many…</blockquote>

[Daniel looks around to his friends, some dying, some grieving.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ni-ya. Ni-ya. 
(They gather around him) 
After we go through the Chappa-ai you have to bury it like we did before and then leave this place.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABYDONIAN 
You come back?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, I can't. Nobody can. That's what I'm telling you, not for a…long time. Now as soon as we're gone in want you to close it, bury it, put a big, heavy cover stone over it—nothing good could ever come through this Gate. Do you understand me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABYDONIAN 
You came through, Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Do you remember the story I told you, how the ancient Egyptians back on Earth cut themselves off from Ra? Well that is exactly what you have to do. Then in one year…one year from this day you take the cover stone away, I will try to bring Sha're home with me on that day. But if I don't make it back, if I don't return then you must bury the Gate again forever, joa qua? You tell Sha're's father that I'll return in one year.</blockquote>

[They all hug him, saying goodbye. Then he beaks free and starts to dial out on the DHD.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[The Gate spins.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN (Over Intercom) 
Stand by for arrival, stand by for arrival.</blockquote>

[The blast doors close and soldiers gather at the ramp base as the wormhole forms. The team bursts through, O'Neill and Carter dragging Ferretti. Samuels and Hammond enter.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Get the medic!</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
(Into his radio) 
Close the iris! Close the iris!</blockquote>

[The metal iris closes on the Gate and O'Neill spins round in surprise, his gun ready.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(To Hammond) 
What the hell's that, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That's our insurance against any more surprises. It's pure titanium, hopefully impenetrable.</blockquote>

[He watches as the medics put Ferretti onto a stretcher.]

<blockquote>MEDIC 
Get the gauze on him. We've got to stop the bleeding from his leg.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(To O'Neill) 
What happened, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Base camp was hit while we were on recon, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Same hostiles who attacked us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel's wife and one of our kids was kidnapped.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Your kids?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
From the previous mission, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
General hi, I'm Daniel Jackson, we've never met, uhm, I'd like to be on the team that goes after them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You're not in any position to make demands, Jackson. 
(He moves up the ramp to see to the wounded)</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PALACE'''

[Guards enter a holding room full of scared humans. The lead guard points out Sha're.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
C-Chel nok, her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Na ne!</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No, Skarra!</blockquote>

[Sha're is seized and Skarra stopped by staff weapons held to his head.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Your death cannot help her.</blockquote>

[Sha're is carried off and the guards leave.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
I'm not afraid of you!</blockquote>

[They close the doors behind them and Skarra runs for the doors, throwing himself against them.]

'''INT—INFIRMARY'''

[O'Neill, in casuals, approaches Ferretti's bed where Kawalksi is sitting holding a coffee, he looks tired.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Doc says he's going to make it.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You going to stay here all night?</blockquote>

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

'''INT—CORRIDOR'''

[O'Neill walks, as if to leave, and then sees Daniel, leaning against a wall, looking a little lost.]

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They don't know what to do with me. And I don't know what to do with myself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
C'mon, let's get out of here.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks off and Daniel follows.]

'''INT—O'NEILL'S HOUSE'''

[O'Neill collects two beers from the fridge, takes them to the living room where Daniel is waiting. Daniel sneezes.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nice catch.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Thank you, sorry. Gate travel always seems to make my allergies… 
(He blows his nose) 
Sorry. 
(He takes the beer)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So, you were saying.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Anyway, um, as soon as you were gone they realised that they were free, I mean, Abydos was their world for the taking.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Have a little party did ya?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh yeah, big, big party. They treated me like their saviour, it was um…embarrassing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's amazing you turned out so normal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well if it wasn't for Sha're I probably… 
(He pauses at her memory) 
She was the complete opposite of everyone else, 
(He sits) 
she practically fell on the floor laughing every time I tried to do some chore that they all took for granted. Like um, grinding yaphetta flour. I mean, have you ever tried to grind your own flour?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm trying to kick the flour thing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Laughs) 
This is going straight to my head. 
(Takes another swig of beer) 
What time is it anyway? I must have Gate lag or something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, for crying out loud, you've had one beer. You're a cheaper date then my wife was.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, when am I going to meet your wife?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, probably…uh, never. After I came back from Abydos the first time she'd already left.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, so was I. I think in her heart she forgave me for what happened to our kid, she just…couldn't forget.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And what about you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm the opposite, I'll never forgive myself, but sometimes I can forget. Sometimes. 
(He takes another swig of beer)</blockquote>

'''INT—RA'S PALACE, A HOLDING ROOM'''

[We see the female soldier who was taken, dressed in a dress and veil, sitting in a room full of similarly dressed women. Sha're is also there. Teal'c and some guards enter, he points to the soldier.]

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

[His guards rush forward and pull her up.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Where are you taking me? I'm a sergeant in the U.S. Air Force. I demand to know where you're taking me! Let go!</blockquote>

[She is led into a room.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Let go of me! Where the hell are you taking me?</blockquote>

[Apophis enter the room.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Come. 
(They move her over to him) 
Lovely. Full of life. 
(He captures her with his hand device) 
You could be the vessel for my future queen.</blockquote>

[She is subdued and they remove her clothes. Apophis looks her over.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Yes. Very nice indeed. But I am not the one you must finally please.</blockquote>

[They lay her out on the slab in the centre of the room and Apophis calls into the side of the room, behind a curtain.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Yametha, re!
</blockquote>
[A woman comes over and stands over the soldier, from her pouch a symbiote reaches out, as if looking over the soldier.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Does she please you, my love?</blockquote>

[The symbiote retreats inside its pouch and the woman leaves.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
A shame. 
(He reaches out and kills the soldier with his hand device.) 
Send another.</blockquote>

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[We see Hammond enter the already half-full room. Samuels announces him.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Ladies and gentlemen, General Hammond.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
People, what is spoken of in this room is classified as SCI top secret. Colonel, what do we know about these hostiles that we didn't yesterday?</blockquote>

[They all sit.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not a hell of a lot, General. The Abydon boys who survived the attack on the base camp thought it was Ra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I thought he was dead, gentlemen. Which is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh he's dead, he's definitely dead, I mean uh…the bomb…he's got to be dead, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Then who's coming through the Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The Gods.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Not as in 'God' God. Ra played a God, the sun God, he borrowed the religion and culture of the ancient Egyptians he brought through the Gate and then he used it to enslave them. You see he wanted the people of Abydos to believe he was the only one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So you're saying Ra's not the last of his race after all?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Maybe he's got a brother—Ray!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's what we need.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Wait a minute. The legend goes Ra's race was dying, he survived by taking over the body of his human host an Egyptain buy, but who's to say more of his kind couldn't do the same thing, I mean this could have happened any time anywhere there's a Gate, I mean this could be happening right now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel you've had the most experience of fighting this hostile, assuming you have to defend yourself in the field are you up to it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We beat 'em once.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'll take that as a maybe. Captain Carter, you're confident that Stargate will take us where we want to go with this new information?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, they're feeding the revised coordinates into the targeting computer right now. It'll take time to calculate but it should spit out two or three destinations a month.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
People, let's not fool ourselves here, thing is both vast and dangerous and we are so far over our heads we can barely see daylight. We would all be much better off if the Stargate had been left in the ground.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
With respect, sir, we can't bury our heads in the sand, I mean think of how much we could learn, think of what we could bring back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What you could bring back is precisely what I'm afraid of Captain. However the President of the United States happens to agree with you. In the event your theories pan out he has ordered the formation of nine teams, whose duties will be to perform reconnaissance, determine threats and if possible to make peaceful contact with the people's of these worlds. Now these teams will operate on a covert top secret basis, no one will know of their existence except the President and the Joint Chiefs. Colonel O'Neill?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Your team will be designated SG-1. The team will consist of yourself, Captain Carter…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Doctor Jackson, we need you to work as a consultant with the other SG teams from here, your expertise in ancient cultures and languages are far too valuable…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No. Um, look I, I mean I know this is your decision but I just…I…really have to be no their team. My wife is out there General, I need to go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'll take that under consideration. Major Kawalski, you will head SG-2.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
I will?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill keeps telling me it's about time you had a command.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(When Kawalski looks over to him) 
I had a moment of weakness.</blockquote>

[An airman enters and hands a note to Samuels.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Ferretti's conscious, sir.</blockquote>

[O'Neill leaps up and leaves.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Dismissed.</blockquote>

[They all follow.]

'''INT—INFIRMARY'''

[Ferretti is sitting kind of upright, still tubed and looking rough, with a laptop on the table over his bed. Carter moves to his side.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(To nurse) 
I'll take over now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know you're probably not feeling so hot, but we need something from you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Seeing what Ferretti brings up on the screen) 
Look's like he's way ahead of you, Colonel.</blockquote>

[They watch as he calls us seven Gate symbols.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You saw all seven symbols? This is where they went?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
Mmm…</blockquote>

'''INT—CORRIDOR, LATER'''

[SG-1 and Samuels walks through the corridor, geared up for travel.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Colonel I'd like to remind you that rescuing Doctor Daniel's wife is a secondary objective, in the even you fail to notify base camp within 24 hours SG-2 will scrub the mission and return without you.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Not going to happen, Colonel. SG-2 won't leave without you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
All right, let's confirm transmitter codes, remember only the right code will open the iris and if you lose your transmitter, you cannot get home.</blockquote>

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

[They enter the Gate Room as the Gate activates.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND (On Intercom) 
SG-1, SG-2, if you do not return in 24 hours your remote transmitter codes will be locked out and the iris will be sealed permanently. At that point there will be no return. Is that understood?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir. 
(He salutes) 
Let's move out.</blockquote>

[They move up the ramp, Daniel among them.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
(To Kawalski) 
I kinda wish I was going with you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah? I'm kinda glad you're staying behind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
All right, let's go, boys.</blockquote>

[They step through.]

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET'''

[They roll out of the wormhole, and get to their feet.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Damn it, it's cold.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay, people let's get the gear out, let's move.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Sneezes) 
Anybody have Kleenex?</blockquote>

'''INT—RA'S PALACE, THE WOMEN'S HOLDING CELL'''

[Teal'c points to where Sha're is sitting.]

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

[They seize her.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No! No!</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, THE STARGATE'''

[Daniel is standing over the DHD.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, it must be some kind of ceremonial place, the Gate is…has to be an integral part of their spiritual culture. See this place was built for worshippers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah well let's just try and be out of here before the worshippees turn up huh? You figure out yet how to align this Gate to get back home?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah, the device is the same as on Abydos, this symbol represents…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You brief Kawalski's team yet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, this symbol represents…</blockquote>

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

[O'Neill walks over to Kawalski.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
We'll have to set up camp where there's better cover Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Sirs, I found what looks like a trail on the mountain, looks like it's seen traffic in the last couple of days.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you, airman. Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I've set up a line of claymores along that ridge at ten metre intervals.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sound about right, Kawalski?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah, that'll work.</blockquote>

[Carter shoots him a disgusted look and continues laying the cable.]

'''INT—RA' PALACE, HIS ROOM'''

[Sha're is brought in, fighting the guards.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No!</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Come.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No! No! No! 
(She bites one of the guards)</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
(Laughing) 
This one has spirit!</blockquote>

[He subdues her with the hand device and they remove her clothes, placing her on the slab. The woman comes out and her symbiote appears from the pouch.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Does she please you, my love?</blockquote>

[The symbiote comes out and lays on Sha're's stomach. The guards turn her over and it enters her though the neck. She screams.]

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET'''

[The FRED leads the way as SG-1 and SG-2 look for a place to set up base camp.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
This looks like a good spot right up here. 
(They stop)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, if we're not back in 20 hours…</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
We'll come rescue your sorry asses.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Negative, you'll go back through the Gate with the combination Daniel just gave you before the iris is locked so you can't go back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yes, sir. 
(He salutes)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Salutes back) 
Hold down the fort.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Pick me up a T-shirt.</blockquote>

[SG-1 take off.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, Doctor Jackson, tell me more about Sha're. How did you meet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're, well, she, uh…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
She was a gift.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
She was, actually, from the elders of Abydos the first time we were there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And you accepted?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hold up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

[He motions for them to get to cover, and they observe a troupe of figures heading their way. Dressed in robes and holding staffs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right Captain, take up position fifty yards…</blockquote>

[Daniel breaks cover and jumps out in front of the figures.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh for crying out loud!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(To the aliens) 
Hi, uhm…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Coming out of hiding with Carter) 
The man has not changed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, w-w-we just came through the Stargate. 
(He gets no response) 
Uh, the uh, Chapaa-ai…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Chapaa-ai! 
(All the aliens kneel down in reverence)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, please don't do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Friends of yours?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Unless we want to give ourselves a bad reputation I just think we should avoid shooting the first people we meet on a new planet. 
(He looks to the aliens and they bow their heads)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, please, you don't have to do this. 
(He lifts the leader up)</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Chula a lazla?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Lazla…? Choose…They want to know if we're here to choose. 
(O'Neill waves a hand 'yes') 
Uh, sure, we…we can choose…choosing is good. 
(To O'Neill) 
It's uh, a derivation of Arabic combined with…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, yeah, all right whatever, just ask 'em to take us to the nearest village or town.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(To aliens) 
Uh, would you take us to, uh, uhm, arush? Arush?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Yah, alla. Chulak. Chulak. 
(He leads the way)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Chulak, eh?</blockquote>

[They all follow the aliens to a rise where they overlook a town.]

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Chulak!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Chulak, s-sounds good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I hear it's nice this time of year.</blockquote>

[They walk on towards the village, entering a courtyard and then into a room where people are eating and celebrating. The room falls silent as the alien announces them]

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Atuhara a lazla.</blockquote>

[They are led to seats around the table on the floor, all the people are staring at them.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why are they treating us like this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They think we're gods.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay, we're gods. Now what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I have no idea.</blockquote>

[Someone blows an instrument emitting a low pitched note and all the people bow down low, we can hear footsteps from far away, heavy footsteps. Daniel bows down too, looking to the others.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
When in Rome.</blockquote>

[They all bow their heads and observe a troupe of Jaffa enter the room, then Teal'c, then Apophis and Sha're at his side.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Behold, your Queen. 
(He unveils Sha're)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're? 
(He darts out towards them)</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Kneel before your queen!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're, it's me.</blockquote>

[Sha're's eyes glow, and Apophis lifts his hand device, using it to throw Daniel across the room against a far wall. O'Neill raises his gun to shoot Apophis but Sha're steps in the way and a guard hits O'Neill over the head, knocking him out.]

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Samuels enters to find Hammond alone in the dark room.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
You wanted to see me, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Once we seal the iris we can still get a transmission from our teams?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Yes, sir, but we couldn't be sure it's not the aliens. Or one of our own people under duress of torture, sealing the Stargate is the best way…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How much longer do they have?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Just under two hours, sir.</blockquote>

'''INT—RA'S PALACE, HOLDING ROOM'''

[We see Daniel unconscious, murmuring. Carter attempts to wake him.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Daniel…Daniel…</blockquote>p;

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Waking) 
Whoa…Sha're!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Whoa, easy, you've been unconscious for hours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, I saw her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I know, we all did.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I was Sha're, she was…</blockquote>

[He gets to his feet and O'Neill moves over to them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well if there's way out of here I haven't found it yet. But look what I did find.</blockquote>

[Skarra approaches them.]

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Daniel! You're okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I think so. 
(They hug, Daniel coughs and they ease him to the floor)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Easy big guy, welcome back to the land of the conscious.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
O'Neill told me about Sha're.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack, help me. We can find her again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel…don't. If we can't find our way out of here the mission's a bust anyway, they seal the Gate in just over 90 minutes. C'mon Skarra let's find a way out of here.</blockquote>

[A guard, Teal'c, grabs O'Neill's arm tightly.]

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What is this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(In discomfort) 
It's a watch.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Revealing his face) 
This is not Goa'uld technology. Where are you from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Earth, Chicago if you want to be specific.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Your words mean nothing to me. Where are you from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, excuse me… 
(He draws a symbol on the ground) 
This is where we're from.</blockquote>

[Teal'c scrapes a line through the symbol and walk away.]

'''EXT—CHULAK, BASE CAMP'''

[Kawalski emerges from a tent in the windy desert.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Warren let's go, rise and shine. The sun is…the suns are coming up. We're going to be all right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARREN 
We can't go through another night like that, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALKSI 
Yeah, gets a little chilly on this planet at night. The Colonel should've sent us a radio message by now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARREN 
When do you have to make your decision, whether or not to go back through the Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
That'll be about when hell freezes over.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARREN 
I think that pretty much describes our current situation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
We are not leaving here without the Colonel, is that understood? Another fine day on planet Kawalski.</blockquote>

'''INT—RA'S PALACE, HOLDING ROOM'''

[O'Neill is testing the strength of bars on one of the room's windows. He climbs down to rejoin Skarra. Carter is sitting with Daniel a small distance away.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
So Ra isn't dead after all.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, it wasn't Ra. It was Apophis.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Who?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Um, it's from Egyptian mythology, Ra was the sun god who ruled the day, Apophis was the serpent guard, Ra's rival who ruled the night. It's right out of 'the book of the dead'. They're living it.</blockquote>

[We see O'Neill and Skarra walking the room's perimeters.]

<blockquote>SKARRA 
We will save Sha're?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I can't promise you anything at the moment…</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
But you are a great warrior! We defeated Ra together!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know, but take a look around here. Look what we're up against. We'll try.</blockquote>

[They move over to the others as the doors open and guards march in, led by Teal'c.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Shaka ha! Kree hol mel, Goa'uld!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(To Skarra) 
What'd he say?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
They're going to choose.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Choose what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Who will be the children of the gods.</blockquote>

[A royal box is brought in and Apophis emerges from it.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Jaffa!</blockquote>

[He helps Sha're out from the box.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're. Jack, help me please.</blockquote>

[He surges forward but Carter and O'Neill pull him back.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, don't, don't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Benna! Ya wan, ya daru! Kneel before your masters!</blockquote>

[Guards move among the people making them kneel. O'Neill catches Teal'c's eye who gives him a look, asking him to kneel by his expression. O'Neill nods imperceptibly and kneels. Skarra does not yet.]

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

[Skarra kneels. Robed Goa'uld move among the prisoners.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Benna, ya wan ya daru! Choose!</blockquote>

[A guards brings forth a prisoner and holds him up for the Goa'uld.]

<blockquote>GOA'ULD 
No. 
(He moves to another) 
This one. We choose this one. 
(She is escorted away)</blockquote>

[They approach where SG-1 are kneeling and Daniel leaps forward, grabbing one of them. Guards prevent O'Neill from interfering.]

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

<blockquote>GOA'ULD 
This one is passionate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How much would I remember if you chose me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, what are you doing? 
(A guards taps him with a staff weapon in warning)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Distressed) 
Something of the host must survive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GOA'ULD 
We choose…him. 
(Points to Skarra)</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
(He is grabbed) 
Na-nay, na nay! Jack! Jack!</blockquote>

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

[O'Neill jumps forward but a guard hits him on the nose with a staff weapon. Skarra is dragged off, screaming O'Neill's name over and over.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Kill the rest.</blockquote>

[The prisoners scream and run to the back of the room as Apophis and the Goa'uld leave. Teal'c and his guards remain. They advance and ready their weapons, Teal'c at the front of them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(To Teal'c) 
I can save these people! Help me! Help me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Many have said that. 
(He turns and fires on his own guards, than throws his weapon to O'Neill) 
But you are the first I believe could do it!</blockquote>

[A firefight ensues, O'Neill and Teal'c kill the guards and scare away the ones at the door. O'Neill heads back for the back wall.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get out of the way!</blockquote>

[The prisoners scatter and he fires at the wall, creating an opening. He checks it.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on, let's move!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Come on, come on!</blockquote>

[The people stream through.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Come on, move, go, come on!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on!</blockquote>

[Teal'c drops his helmet to the floor in the empty holding room as O'Neill and Daniel help prisoners through the opening.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You going to be okay?</blockquote>

[Daniel nods and leaves through the gap. O'Neill looks back to Teal'c.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, c'mon!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I have nowhere to go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
For this you can stay at my place. Let's go.</blockquote>

[He joins O'Neill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's your name?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, where will they take Skarra, the boy?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
To the Stargate, after they've selected hosts for their children they will return home.</blockquote>

[They follow the stream of prisoners heading for the Gate.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Hammond is in his office, overlooking the Gate.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Sir they have just under an hour until the deadline. We should've heard from them by now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
A lot can happen in an hour, Major.</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET'''

[O'Neill and SG-1 leads the prisoners at a fast pace.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We've got less than an hour, how we doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We lost a few when we got to the forest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They will be hunted down and killed. Anyone who does not exist to serve the gods is their enemy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And that makes you…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am Jaffa. Bred to serve, that they may live.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I…I don't understand.</blockquote>

[Teal'c stops and reveals his pouch and his symbiote. The prisoners nearby scream.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What the hell is that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is an infant Goa'uld, the larval form of the gods, I have carried one since I was a child, as all Jaffa carry one.</blockquote>

[They resume their walk.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get it out of there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
In exchange for carrying the infant Goa'uld until maturity, a Jaffa receives perfect health and long life. If I were to remove it I would eventually die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, well if I were you I'd take my chances.</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

[A ship flies down and hovers over the Gate.A small distance away O'Neill urges the prisoners over the crest of a hill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right come on people, let's go, let's move! 
(They move)</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(To O'Neill) 
The boy you seek is no longer who he was.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't want to hear that.</blockquote>

[At the Stargate, the ship's belly reveals a ring device which transports down Goa'uld's including Skarra, Apophis and Sha're. The ship flies off. As the prisoners and SG-1 near the Gate a Goa'uld glider swoops over them, readying its guns.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Take cover!</blockquote>

[The ship fires as the prisoners scatter—O'Neill and Teal'c return fire but make no difference.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, we're sitting ducks here!</blockquote>

[At the Stargate, Apophis dials out. As O'Neill and Teal'c fire ineffectually at the ship, suddenly we see over the shoulder of a soldier who fires a ground to air missile from a shoulder mounted firing device. It hits and destroys the ship. At the Stargate Apophis sees the explosion and steps through the Stargate. The prisoners cheer and O'Neill looks up to where the missile came from.]

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah! 
(Waves from the hill)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Turning to the prisoners) 
C'mon folks, up the hill!</blockquote>

[Kawalski moves down to help O'Neill up.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Great shot! How many are there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
About a dozen, maybe more. They're headed for the Gate.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
He's with them. Colonel, we don't have much time before they lock us out.</blockquote>

[They run up the hill with the others, Kawalski taking a lead position.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Warren, Casey, on my right!</blockquote>

[They position themselves at the crest of the hill, overlooking the Stargate. O'Neill sees Skarra bout to enter the Gate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No. No. 
(He runs down the hill)</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Colonel! Sir!</blockquote>

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

[Skarra turns and smiles.]

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

[Skarra's smile disappears, his eyes glow and he hits O'Neill with his hand device. O'Neill is thrown back and hits the ground as Skarra leaves and the Gate deactivates. O'Neill gets to his feet as the others run down to him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Did you see the symbols?</blockquote>

[O'Neill shakes his head.]

Sir we've got movement in the trees, a lot of movement in the trees. We've got hostiles, sir, hostiles closing in!</blockquote>

[At the Stargate, Kawalski takes control.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
All right people we're going on a little field trip. Daniel get busy on that Stargate, we've got company. Captain arm your claymores. Me, Casey and Warren'll be the last men out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Negative. That's my job. Captain, help Daniel, once you've sent the signal I want you to go through, tell them we're bringing company.</blockquote>

[Everyone flocks to the Stargate.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI

Warren, give me an update!</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARREN 
(Into his radio) 
Looks like a whole battalion, sir. 200 yards and closing.</blockquote>

[Kawalski readies the claymores as Carter stands with Daniel who is searching for the Stargate address in his notebook.]

<blockquote>CARTER

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I've got it, I know I have it here, I know I've got it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Come on!</blockquote>

[On the hill, the Warren and Casey fall to their bellies as they spy forces coming from the trees.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hit the claymores!</blockquote>

[Kawalski does so and they explode, taking a line of guards with them. He hits another and another and the guards go down in droves. But there are still more and one of the prisoners is hit by enemy fire.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Come on, come on. We need cover here!</blockquote>

[Kawalski stands from his hiding place and screams, firing his weapon wildly. Daniel gets the last refugee through the Gate.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's it!</blockquote>

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

[Daniel pauses for one reluctant second and then runs through the Gate. ]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[We see Daniel pop through the Gate on the other side.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
They behind you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I hope so.</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

[Kawalski runs for the Gate, as do the other soldiers.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Go, go, go!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Colonel, more hostiles, eight o'clock.</blockquote>

[They retreat while firing on the encroaching guards. Casey is hit by a staff blast.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Casey!</blockquote>

[Kawalski and O'Neill move to him and drag him towards the Gate, setting him down on the steps, always firing their weapons. We see one of the prisoners who had stayed wrestling a guard—squeezing him to death. The guard fall near to Kawalski and we see its symbiote rise out of its pouch, it flies through the air and whips into Kawalski's neck. He freezes, then groans, and it disappears into his neck. Teal'c and the prisoner leap through the Gate.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[The prisoner jumps out of the Gate and the soldiers cock their weapons, as Teal'c come through Carter and Daniel call out simultaneously to stop them firing.]

<blockquote>CARTER AND DANIEL 
Whoa! Hold your fire! Hold your fire!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They're with us! 
(She walks up to Teal'c and receives his weapon from him with a nod)</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

[O'Neill and Kawalski pick up Casey and run through the Gate—the guards are close on their heels and run through the Gate after them.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[The three fall through the Gate, Casey collapses to the ramp.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Now! Lock it up, lock it up!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
(Over the intercom) 
Closing iris!</blockquote>

[The iris closes and they hear four metallic thuds as the guards that followed hit the metal. Then the sounds stop.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
(Over the intercom) 
Wormhole disengaged.</blockquote>

[The iris opens. Medics rush up the ramp as they are called.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Medic! Medic</blockquote>!

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You got him? 
(To Kawalski, motioning to Casey)</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah, I got him, thanks. Hold on here, get these people back.</blockquote>

[The refugees surge forward and circle Carter and O'Neill, hugging and thanking them warmly.]

<blockquote>MEDIC 
We've got to help these people, please.</blockquote>

[Hammond walks up the ramp, amidst the confusion as Samuels clear the way for the medics.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Let's go, man down, stand back! Stand back!</blockquote>

[The medics lift Casey on to a stretcher.]

<blockquote>MEDIC 
Let's get him to the infirmary, let's get him inside. 
(They depart)</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill. Care to explain?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Um, we can use the Stargate to send these people home, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What's he doing here? 
(Motioning to Teal'c)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General Hammond, this is Teal'c. He can help us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Do you know what he is?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir I do, he's the man who saved our lives. And if you accept my recommendation, sir…he'll join SG-1.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That decision may not be up to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Stand back, let's get him off the ramp.</blockquote>

[Kawalski is on his knees, looking a little distressed.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Kawalski, are you all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah, I'm good. 
(He stands and regains his composure)</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill, Major Kawalski, this sure-to-be-very-interesting debriefing for SG units 1 and 2 will be at 0730.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
All right, let's get these people situated.</blockquote>

[They leave the Gate Room, leaving Teal'c, Carter, Daniel and O'Neill standing at the base of the ramp. Daniel looks back to the Gate.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
She's out there somewhere, Jack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know. So's Skarra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So what do we do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We find 'em.</blockquote>

[He leaves and the others follow, behind them we see that Kawalski is still standing at the top of the ramp, almost inside the Gate. He walks down the ramp towards the camera and as he gets close, his eyes glow.]

'''TEASER'''

'''FADE IN'''

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Four soldiers are sitting on duty around a table at the bottom of the ramp, playing cards.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Oh man, his hand's as lousy as his detail. All right, everybody, ante up. 
(Looking to female soldier) 
That's you too. 
(He deals) 
Seven to the duece, nothing there. Boss and the eight, nothing happening. Queen to the king, possible straight going there. Eight on the eight, and the jack gets a boss, eight's open.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
Aren't you guys afraid of an officer coming down here or something?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
Trust me, nobody ever comes down here but us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
(Looking to the slightly billowing Stargate cover) 
Does that thing always do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Do what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
Whatever it is under the tarp, I just…saw it move or do something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
Probably the only thing it ever did was cost money.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Yeah and it looks like they ran out of that, they've been shipping personnel out of here for months.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
(Seeing tarp move again) 
I'm telling you, the thing is moving!</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
If you don't have the straight, just fold.</blockquote>

[She gets up from her seat and makes towards the Gate.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
(Agitated) 
Can we take that as a fold?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
Just finish the hand, she's out.</blockquote>

[The female soldier approaches the Gate and starts up the ramp, it starts shaking suddenly, they hear a rumbling sound and she backs away down the ramp as it shakes along with the table where the other soldiers are seated. The jump to their feet, hands to their guns.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 3 
What the…?</blockquote>

[The tarp flies from the Gate and reveals the Gate spinning and active.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 3 
Whoa!</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
I take it this has never happened before?</blockquote>

[Soldier 2 goes to the red phone on the wall as the other stand ready at the base of the ramp. The Gate activates—the kerwhoosh expands outwards and he drops the phone, the others falling to the ground as the Gate billows out towards them. Soldier One passes out guns and they cock them, standing and waiting in front of the Gate. The female soldier starts up the ramp.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
What are you doing?</blockquote>

[As she reaches the Gate a ball drops through it to her feet, glows and seems to scan her bodily. It falls still and she bends down to touch it.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 3 
What are you doing? Don't touch it!</blockquote>

[She picks it up, looking back to tem in cofusion. Then a serpent guard steps through the Gate right on top of her, taking a hold of her round the neck and taking her gun. The other soldiers cock their guns.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Hold your fire!</blockquote>

[More serpent guards come through the Gate.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Hold it…identify yourself!</blockquote>

[The last figure steps through the Gate, his armour made of gold. He stands in front of his seven guards and reveals his face—a human face.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Jaffa! Kree!</blockquote>

[The guard holding the female soldier reveals his face, and Apophis turns to him.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Teal'c, kree!</blockquote>

[Teal'c drops the female soldier's gun and passes her to Apophis roughly.]

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
Get your hands off me!</blockquote>

[Apophis brings his hand up and a device emits a glow that latches on to her face, she becomes calm.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER! 
Let her go!</blockquote>

[One of the serpent guards fires with his staff weapon and a fire fight ensues. Teal'c covers the female soldier with his body as the bullets bounce off the Goa'uld armour. Apophis sees one of his guards go down.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Kree! Jaffa! 
(He waves them back)</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
(Reaching for the phone desperately) 
We've got Jaffa down here we need…</blockquote>

[He is hit by a staff blast and goes down. All the soldiers are hit and go down. The base alarms have started sounding.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Tyger. A-lada spryng.</blockquote>

'''INT—BASE CORRIDORS'''

[Soldiers are running for the Gate room.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Go, go!</blockquote>

[The Mountain doors close.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

<blockquote>[General Hammond and the soldiers stream in and take position, all but Apophis, the female soldier and two of his guards are gone, one picks up the scanning device. The soldiers cock their guns.]</blockquote>

<blockquote>GENERAL HAMMOND 
Hold your fire!</blockquote>

[Apophis' eyes glow, his helmet goes up and they retreat through the Gate, it dissipates.]

'''END OF TEASER'''

'''EXT—OUTSIDE O'NEILL'S HOUSE'''

[An officer gets out of his car and walks towards the house, he knocks on the door. A soldier accompanying him moves round to the side of the house.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Sir, there's a ladder over here.</blockquote>

[They climb up to a tree house in the garden where O'Neill has his eye to a telescope pointing to the sky.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Colonel Jack O'Neill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Not looking at him) 
Retired.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
I'm Major Samuels.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Air Force?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Yes, sir, I'm the General's Executive Officer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Want a little piece of advice Major? Get re-assed to NASA. That's where all the action's going to be. Out there. 
(We see what he sees through the scope—a galaxy formation)</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
I'm uh, I'm under orders to bring you to see General Hammond, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Never heard of him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
He replaced General West. He says it's important. Has to do with the Stargate.</blockquote>

[O'Neill finally looks around, interested.]

'''EXT—MOUNTAIN BASE'''

[We see Samuel's car enter the base.]

'''INT—LIFT'''

[O'Neill is accompanied by an officer down to sublevel 11. They walk down the corridor.]

<blockquote>INTERCOM 
Tag team number nine to sublevel two vent shaft twenty-four.</blockquote>

[O'Neill signs in at the desk and they head for a second elevator.]

<blockquote>OFFICER 
We have to take a second elevator the rest of the way, sir, it's a long way down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Entering the lift) 
Yeah I know, I've been here before.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OFFICER 
Ah, of course.</blockquote>

[The lift descends and they get out, Samuels is at the end of the corridor.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
This way, sir. 
(He indicates to a door)</blockquote>

[Samuels follows O'Neill and the officer takes his previous position.]

'''INT—HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

[There are two knocks on the door.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Come.</blockquote>

[Samuels and O'Neill enter.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
General Hammond, Colonel Jack O'Neill.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I can see that. Me I'm on my last tour. Time to get my thoughts together, maybe write a book. You ever think of writing a book of your exploits in the line of duty?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I've thought about it, but then I'd have to shoot anyone that actually read it. 
(Getting no response) 
That's a joke, sir, most of my work over the last ten years was classified.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Yes, of course.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Major Samuels mentioned something about the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Down to business, I can do that. 
(Standing) 
This way.</blockquote>

[They all leave the office.]

'''INT—LAB'''

[A doctor pulls back a sheet from dead Jaffa's face.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Anyone you know, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DOCTOR 
They're not human.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ya think?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DOCTOR 
Best we can tell these slits are actually a pouch, similar to that found in a marsupial.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Like a kangaroo.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DOCTOR 
We haven't done an autopsy yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
These people or aliens, whatever you want to call them…came through…killed four of my people and kidnapped another using advanced weapons.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Weapons, sir?</blockquote>

[An airman brings forwards a staff weapon and Hammond hands in to O'Neill.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
We can't figure out how they operate.</blockquote>

[With confidence, O'Neill activates and them deactivates the weapon.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Seen one before, I take it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir, 
(Hands the weapon back) 
but there are no creatures like this on Abydos. These people were human, they were from Earth. Ra brought 'em there thousands of years ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I know all about that, but your report said this Ra was in fact some kind of alien that lived inside a human body.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah his eyes glowed, that was our first clue.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Are you sure he's dead, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Unless he could survive a tactical nuclear warhead blowing up in his face, positive. Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
These people, or whatever they are, were guarding another man who retreated back through the Stargate. I got a good look at his eyes Colonel. They glowed.</blockquote>

'''INT—CORRIDOR'''

[Hammond, O'Neill and Samuels are walking.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How do you feel about the Stargate mission after all this time, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How do you mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, it's been over a year. Has your perspective changed?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, sir I… 
(He sees Ferretti and Kawalsky through a door)</blockquote>

[They enter Hammond's office again.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Was that…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Kawalsky and Ferretti yes, they were under your command on the first Stargate mission. 
(O'Neill sees his men led into an adjoining room though a window) 
Tell me about Daniel Jackson, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why are they questioning my men?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
They're not your men anymore, Colonel—you retired. Daniel Jackson.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You read the report?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's all there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's this all about, General?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You didn't like Daniel Jackson, did you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel was a scientist. He sneezed a lot. Basically he was a geek, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
So you didn't have a lot of time for him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I didn't say that. He also saved my life and found the way home for my men and me—little thing like that kinda makes a person grow on ya, know what I mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
According to the mission brief your orders were to go through the Stargate to detect any possible threat to earth and if found, to detonate a nuclear devise and destroy the Gate on the other side.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
But that's not what you did, is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not right away. Ra's forces overpowered my team and took the weapon before I could arm it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
But with Doctor Daniel's help you eventually regained control and did in fact detonate the weapon. Yes?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
So to the best of your knowledge Daniel Jackson and everyone else you knew on Abydos is dead, correct?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's correct.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Good. 
(He rises from his seat) 
Then you won't mind if I authorise a go ahead on our plan.</blockquote>

'''INT—CORRIDOR'''

[They leave the office.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This quartz material the Stargates are made of, must be tough stuff if it can withstand a Mark 3.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well we sent a robot probe through after we got back, sir, it was flattened on the other end. Obviously the Abydos Stargate had been buried in the rubble.</blockquote>

[They enter the Gate room.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, somehow it got unburied.</blockquote>

[There is a bomb being prepped at the bottom of the Stargate ramp.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh my God. You're sending another bomb?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Mark 5 this time. If these creatures did reopen the Abydos Gate we intend to reseal it for good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, you can't do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Countdown's already started. Unless you have something to add.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(After a long pause) 
General Hammond…Sir. I regret to inform you that my report was not entirely accurate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You didn't detonate the bomb.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, I did detonate the bomb, sir, and it was aboard Ra's spacecraft, so it did kill him and eliminate the risk to Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
However?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
However…Ra's ship was in orbit above the planet at the time, neither the Gate nor anything else on the planet was destroyed. Daniel Jackson is alive and living with the people on Abydos.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You violated direct orders why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Because the people of Abydos are no threat to us. They deserve to be left alone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That's not up to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
With all due respect, sir—if I'd come back here and reported the Gate on the other side was still intact we would have sent another bomb, just like you were about to. It wasn't necessary to let those people die. The threat from Ra was gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
What about the probe we sent through? It was crushed instantly.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
After we came home Daniel buried the Gate in rocks making my return or anybody else's impossible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Those four bodies lying in the infirmary say otherwise Airman.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(After a thoughtful pause) 
We'll send the bomb through on schedule.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, you can't do that!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Oh, I can't?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There are innocent people on that planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
There are innocent people here! I have my orders too Colonel, I obey mine. Take Colonel O'Neill to the holding room, let's give him some time to think about things while I decide what to do with him. 
(As he leaves) 
Sergeant…</blockquote>

[Two officers flank O'Neill and he walks off between them.]

'''INT—HOLDING ROOM'''

[O'Neill is led inside and the door is shut. Kawalski rises from one of the bunks and salutes crisply.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Colonel O'Neill, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm retired, Kawalski, lose the salute.</blockquote>

[Kawalski drops his hand and shakes O'Neill's hand, smiling.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Me and Ferretti didn't tell them anything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I appreciate that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Hey those kids on Abydos saved my life too. 
(He motions to the table and chairs in the room)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, the kids. 
(They sit)</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
They're the whole reason they kept the secret, right?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
That one kid idolised you, remember him? Weird name…what was it?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Right. Remember how he was always saluting you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, my kid used to do that when he was little. Skarra kinda reminded me of him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Oh man Colonel, you and me went through that whole mission together, I never even knew you had a son.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, he died. Just before the Abydos mission.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
I'm sorry, sir, I had no idea.</blockquote>

[The door opens and they stand as Hammond walks in.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How many people did you say were on Abydos?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That we saw, maybe five thousand. Does this mean you're reconsidering sending the bomb, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It means I'm open to suggestions.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, let me take a team through that Gate, we'll find out who those aliens are, Kawalski and I have been there before we know the lay of the land, we know the people.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You ''think'' you do, Daniel could be dead, you don't know what you'd be waking into.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sir, there is one way to find out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Right, we'll have the prototype probe shipped from MIT.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General we don't need that probe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
We don't?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, 
(Grabs the tissue box from the table) 
this'll do.</blockquote>

[He leaves the holding room and Kawalski and Hammond follow.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Soldiers surround the Gate, guns ready as the Stargate dials. O'Neill, Hammond, Samuels and Kawalski are in the viewing room.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN (Over Intercom) 
Chevron Four encoded!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Care to explain this concept?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN (Over Intercom) 
Chevron Five encoded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel has allergies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Oh, I get it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He'll know his came from me and not from someone, with all due respect, sir, like yourself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN (Over Intercom) 
Chevron Six encoded.</blockquote>

[O'Neill leaves the viewing room for the Gate room.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
Chevron Seven, locked.</blockquote>

[The Gate activates, and O'Neill walks up to it and tosses the tissue box through.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
The, um, object should reach final destination in five seconds, four, three, two, one. 
(The Gate dissipates) 
The object should now be through the Abydos Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Now what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Reentering the viewing room) 
Now we wait, if Daniel's still around he'll know what the message means.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
What if the aliens get it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, they could be blowing their noses right now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
They could be planning an attack!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Aw, come on Samuels, let me be the cynic around here, okay? 
(To Hammond) 
Sir, this could take some time.</blockquote>

[They leave the Control Room.]

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM, SOME TIME LATER'''

[They are all waiting when the Stargate rumbles to life.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Hammond, Samuels, Kawalski and O'Neill watch as the tissue box flies back through the Stargate and the Gate event horizon dissipates. O'Neill picks up the box, and smiles. He hands it to Samuels and he and Hammond see that written on its side are the words 'THANKS, SEND MORE.']

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Permission to take a team through the Stargate, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Assuming I get the President's authorisation, the mission briefing will be at 0800 hours. Consider yourself recalled to active duty Colonel.</blockquote>

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Hammond enters the room.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Ten hut.</blockquote>

[The occupants, including O'Neill, salute.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Gentlemen, take your seats.</blockquote>

[Seven occupants of the room sit at the table, O'Neill remains standing by his chair.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Where's Captain Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Just arriving, sir.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm assigning Sam Carter to this mission.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'd prefer to put together my own team, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Not on this mission, sorry. Carter's our expert on the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where's he transferring from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
''She'' is transferring from the Pentagon.</blockquote>

[Carter enters the room, and moves to her seat at the table.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I take it you're Colonel O'Neill. 
(She salutes) 
Captain Samantha Carter reporting, sir.</blockquote>

[O'Neill salutes back.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
But of course you go by Sam.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You don't have to worry, Major, I played with dolls when I was a kid.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
GI Joe?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, Major Matt Mason.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Oh… 
(To Ferretti) 
Who?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
Major Matt Mason, astronaut doll. Did you have that cool little backpack that made him fly?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Let's get started, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you. 
(Carter sits) 
Those of you on your first trip through the Gate, you should be prepared for what to expect.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I've practically memorised your report from the first mission, I'd like to think I've been preparing for this my whole life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
I think what the Colonel is saying is, have you ever pulled out of a simulated bombing run in an F-16 at 8-plus G's?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
(Surprised) 
Well, it's way worse than that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
By the time you get to the other side you're frozen stiff, like you've just been through a blizzard, naked. 
(He and Kawalski grin at each other)</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's a result of the compression your molecules undergo during the millisecond required for reconstitution.</blockquote>

O'NEILL <blockquote>
Oh here we go, another scientist, General ''please.''</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Theoretical astrophysicist.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Which means?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Which means she is smarter than you are Colonel. Especially in matters related to the Stargate.</blockquote>

[Kawalski and Ferretti are sniggering, O'Neill looks over to them and they stop abruptly.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, I was studying the Gate technology for two years before Daniel Jackson made it work and before you both went through. I should have gone through then. But, sir, you and your men might as well accept the fact that I am going through this time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well with all due respect Doctor I…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It is appropriate to refer to a person by their rank, not their salutation. You should call me Captain, not Doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Captain Carter's assignment to this unit is not an option, it's an order.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm an Air Force officer just like you are, Colonel, and just because my reproductive organs are on the inside instead of the outside, doesn't mean I can't handle whatever you can handle.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Smiling) 
Oh, this has nothing to do with you being a woman. I ''like'' women. I just have a little problem with scientists.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, I logged over a hundred hours in enemy airspace during the Gulf War. Is that tough enough for you? Or are we going to have to arm wrestle?</blockquote>

[O'Neill raises his eyebrows in amusement.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
I hate to throw a damper on your enthusiasm, but I still say the safest most logical way to deal with this is to bury the Stargate, just like the ancient Egyptians did, make it impossible for the aliens to return. It's the only way to eliminate the threat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Except it won't work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It worked before.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They know what we are now, they know ho far we've come, we're a threat to them. They've got ships General, Ra had one as big as the great pyramid, they don't need the Stargate to get here they can do it the old fashioned way. Now with all due respect to Mr Glass-is-half-empty over there don't you think maybe we should use the Stargate to do a little reconnaissance before they decide to come back…again?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'll give you exactly twenty-four hours to either return or send a message through, no Kleenex boxes please. Otherwise we'll assume the worst and send a bomb through.</blockquote>

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

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[The Gate activates, the Colonel, his team and Hammond enter the room.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Try to follow orders this time, Colonel.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This time you bring Daniel Jackson back, is that clear?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir.</blockquote>

[They salute.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Move out.</blockquote>

[His team walks through the Stargate, leaving Carter and O'Neill at the base of the ramp.]

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Don't worry, sir, I won't let you down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Good. I was going to say "ladies first."</blockquote>

[They walk to the even horizon.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
You know, you really will like me when you get to know me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, I adore you already, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Staring at the even horizon up close) 
My God, look at this! I mean, the energy the Gate must release to create a stable wormhole is…it's astronomical to use exactly the right word! 
(She touches it and it ripples) 
You can actually see the fluctuation on the even horizon!</blockquote>

[O'Neill shoves her through the Gate, then walks through after her.]

'''INT—ABYDOS STARGATE ROOM'''

[We see O'Neill emerge through the Gate and it dissipate behind him. His team are there getting eady. He approaches Carter, who is hunched over.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Ugh. I think I'm going to be sick, ugh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Maybe you shouldn't have had that big lunch, huh?</blockquote>

[They all move out into the apparently empty room when suddenly natives emerge from the shadows and point guns at them. They cock their own guns—at a stand off. Then Daniel pops up.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Cha'hari! Cha'hari. Lower your guns.</blockquote>

[The natives lower their weapons and relax.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hello, Jack, welcome back.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks towards him and then barges past to get to Skarra who stands behind him. Skarra salutes and O'Neill returns it with a smile, then they hug with a laugh.]

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

<blockquote>SKARRA 
O'Neill! I did not think to be seeing you again!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Turns to Daniel) 
Daniel, how you doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Good, you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Much better, now that I see everyone's okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
(Making the "live long and prosper" sign) 
Greetings from Earth, Doctor Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hello, Ferretti.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Brought you a little something, Daniel. 
(He hands Daniel a pocket pack of tissues)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Kawalski.</blockquote>

[Sha're emerges slightly at the side of the room.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're, don't be shy. 
(She joins him)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hi, 
(He hold out a hand to her) 
good to see you again. 
(They shake hands)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So I figure it was only a matter of time before you had to tell the truth about us still being here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yep. Why the militia, has something else come through?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, just taking precautions, why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Amazing, 
(Looking at the DHD) 
this is what was missing from the dig at Giza. This is how they controlled it! It took us fifteen years and three supercomputers to MacGyver a system on Earth.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Look how small it is!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Captain! 
(He motions to Daniel)</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh right, excuse me. 
(She turns to them) 
Doctor Jackson I presume, I'm Doctor Samantha Carter. 
(They shake hands)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thought you wanted to be called Captain?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What's going on, Jack?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Six hostile aliens came through the Stargate on Earth, four people are dead, one's missing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
One of them looked like Ra, Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, they didn't come from here. I mean the boys take shifts guarding it 36 hours a day, every day, we'd know if they came through here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well they came from somewhere Daniel, I'm going to have to look around.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I…I think I can help you find out who it was but, uh, it's going to have to wait until this sandstorm is over. Uh, we were about to have our evening meal. Why don't you join us?</blockquote>

'''INT—ABYDOS STARGATE ROOM, SOME TIME LATER'''

[O'Neill, his team, Daniel and many Abydonians are gathered in a circle on the floor, eating.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Everybody try this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
This too. 
(He hands out bowls of liquid)</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Drink. 
(He hands him a bowl)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(He sniffs it)
Moonshine?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Moon…shine?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, moonshine, as in booze, er…Daniel, what are you teaching these kids?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Try it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right. Skarra's moonshine. I'll give it a little shot. 
(Spits it out suddenly) 
Oh…God!</blockquote>

[Everyone laughs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Rasps) 
Smooth, very smooth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Moonshine!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Your little soldiers are all grown up, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, I'm so proud, whoa…</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
O'Neill…your lighter? 
(He holds out the lighter)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, it's yours, I gave that to you to keep. Remember?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Thank you. 
(He leaves)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You know he's never had that out of his sight the whole time you were gone.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So this…this man who looked like Ra, he must have come through another Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What other Gate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Another Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The Stargate only goes here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, no I think you're wrong about that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I was there, we ran hundreds of permutations.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
But you didn't have what you need.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel what are you talking about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Daniel, the storm has passed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'll show you. Sha're, ben quar ri, Jack and his friends…to see the vili tao an.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
Bonni wai?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I won't be long.</blockquote>

[Sha're kisses him and everyone whoops and laughs, O'Neill giving him a weird look.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
Goodbye, my Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Stunned) 
Bye.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Ferretti, hold the fort.</blockquote>

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

'''EXT—OUTSIDE THE PYRAMID'''

[Kawalski, O'Neill, Carter and Daniel emerge into the bright desert.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Boy, I can't say I've missed this place.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Come on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This is just incredible.</blockquote>

'''INT—CAVERN'''

[Torches light a tunnel leading inside the pyramid.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So I figured there had to be more to this place so I started exploring, just the area around the town and the pyramid at first and after about a month I found this place. Uh, Captain Doctor, you're going to love this.</blockquote>

[Torches light up a big room with elaborate drawing on the walls.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh my God, this is amazing, this is the archaeological find of the century.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So Daniel, you had a chance to translate this yet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I think so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What does it say?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, uh, it doesn't say anything. Actually it's sort of a chart, more of a…map.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well I haven't been able to analyse all of it, I mean look at it, it would take my whole life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well Daniel, we don't have that long. What's it a map of?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, the cartouches seem to be separated clearly into groupings, each grouping is attached to the others with a series of lines, and each grouping of glyphs contain seven symbols, so you can see where this is going of course.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Tell us anyway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
All of the symbols are on the Stargate in the Abydos chamber. I've also managed to chart some of them in the Abydos night sky, or at least pretty close. Jack I think that this is a map of a vast network of Stargates, Stargates that are…are all over the galaxy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh, I don't think that can be, Doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, because after Colonel O'Neill and his team came back my team tried hundreds of symbol permutations using Earth as the point of origin and it never worked.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I tried the same here and it didn't work either but I figured the destinations I tried were either destroyed or buried, but, um, I mean some of them somewhere must still exist.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Then where did your Ra lookalike come from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Look I don't pretend to know anything about Astrophysics but couldn't the planets change? I mean, uh, drift apart or something like that, to throw this map off?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I knew I'd like you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You mean I'm right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
According to the expanding universe model all bodies in the universe are constantly moving further apart…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So I the thousands of years since the Stargate was built…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
All the coordinates could have changed.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
DANIEL 
But why does it still work between Abydos and Earth?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Abydos is probably the closest planet in the network to Earth, I mean the closer they are the less the difference in relative position due to expansion—the further away the greater the difference. In a few thousand more years it won't work between Earth and Abydos either.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Unless you can adjust for the displacement.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Right, now with this map as a base that should be easy. All we have to do is correct for Doppler's Shift, then I should be able to arrive at a computer model that can predict the adjustments necessary to get the Gate working again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Okay, so what did we just figure out?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Any civilisation advanced enough to build this Gate network would be able to compensate for 50,000 years of stellar drift.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So…the Stargate can go other places?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The aliens could have come from anywhere.</blockquote>

'''INT—ABYDOS STARGATE ROOM'''

[The Abydonians are talking and laughing with the team and Ferretti. They watch Sha're walk past them.]

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
Man, you got to give Daniel credit. She is one beautiful woman.</blockquote>

[They turn as the Stargate starts to dial in.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
We got company, boys! Move, move! Take cover!</blockquote>

[They scatter to the edges of the room, hiding behind the pillars, holding their guns ready as the Stargate opens. Goa'uld guards walk through and start firing immediately, hitting a few Abyodonians, they fire back, as do the SG team. The Gao'uld have the upper hand quickly and Apophis looks on as they shoot the SG team down. Skarra sees Sha're and fires at the Goa'uld.]

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Sha're, shim rota! Shim rota!</blockquote>

[They seize her, she screams and Skarra steps forward but finds his gun jammed. He tries to fight but is grabbed.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No! Skarra!</blockquote>

[Teal'c's helmet opens to reveal his face to Skarra as he holds him.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This is not your weapon. Where did you get it?</blockquote>

[Skarra spits in his face. Teal'c brings him to Apophis, who lowers his helmet.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Good choice Teal'c. A perfect specimen.</blockquote>

[Apophis raises his hand device and knocks Skarra out with it.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No! Stop it! Stop it! Skarra! Skarra!</blockquote>

[She is taken to Apophis.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
You may be the one.</blockquote>

[He knocks her out with the hand device. A guard dials the Gate and we see Ferretti, injured and barely conscious, watching the dialling. They leave through the Gate and the Abydonians emerge as Daniel and the other return.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're! 
(He moves to an injured Abydonian) 
Bolaa…</blockquote>

<blockquote>BOLAA 
There's so…there's so many…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BOLAA 
So many of them…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's all right. Just tell me what happened.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BOLAA 
It was Ra…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's going on?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ra is dead. Tao qua Ra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BOLAA 
No…I saw…he took Sha're, he took Skarra…into the Chaapa-ai.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Where, did you see? Did you see?</blockquote>

[Bolaa's eyes close slowly and he dies.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
What's going on, Daniel? Could there be another Ra?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How in the hell should I know? I should have left the barricade up. This my fault.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Holding a hand to a fallen soldiers neck) 
Come on, come on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(At Ferretti's side) 
Colonel Ferretti needs medical attention now!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Go, help him, I can send you back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You're coming with us this time, Daniel. I've got orders.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Laughs) 
I don't care about your orders, Colonel. My wife is out there. So is Skarra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And the only way we're going to get 'em back is for you to come home with us. Ferretti might have seen those co-ordinates. Captain, do you have the video?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I've got everything I need.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
(Weak) 
Too many…</blockquote>

[Daniel looks around to his friends, some dying, some grieving.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ni-ya. Ni-ya. 
(They gather around him) 
After we go through the Chappa-ai you have to bury it like we did before and then leave this place.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABYDONIAN 
You come back?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, I can't. Nobody can. That's what I'm telling you, not for a…long time. Now as soon as we're gone in want you to close it, bury it, put a big, heavy cover stone over it—nothing good could ever come through this Gate. Do you understand me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABYDONIAN 
You came through, Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Do you remember the story I told you, how the ancient Egyptians back on Earth cut themselves off from Ra? Well that is exactly what you have to do. Then in one year…one year from this day you take the cover stone away, I will try to bring Sha're home with me on that day. But if I don't make it back, if I don't return then you must bury the Gate again forever, joa qua? You tell Sha're's father that I'll return in one year.</blockquote>

[They all hug him, saying goodbye. Then he beaks free and starts to dial out on the DHD.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[The Gate spins.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN (Over Intercom) 
Stand by for arrival, stand by for arrival.</blockquote>

[The blast doors close and soldiers gather at the ramp base as the wormhole forms. The team bursts through, O'Neill and Carter dragging Ferretti. Samuels and Hammond enter.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Get the medic!</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
(Into his radio) 
Close the iris! Close the iris!</blockquote>

[The metal iris closes on the Gate and O'Neill spins round in surprise, his gun ready.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(To Hammond) 
What the hell's that, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That's our insurance against any more surprises. It's pure titanium, hopefully impenetrable.</blockquote>

[He watches as the medics put Ferretti onto a stretcher.]

<blockquote>MEDIC 
Get the gauze on him. We've got to stop the bleeding from his leg.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(To O'Neill) 
What happened, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Base camp was hit while we were on recon, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Same hostiles who attacked us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel's wife and one of our kids was kidnapped.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Your kids?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
From the previous mission, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
General hi, I'm Daniel Jackson, we've never met, uhm, I'd like to be on the team that goes after them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You're not in any position to make demands, Jackson. 
(He moves up the ramp to see to the wounded)</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PALACE'''

[Guards enter a holding room full of scared humans. The lead guard points out Sha're.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
C-Chel nok, her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Na ne!</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No, Skarra!</blockquote>

[Sha're is seized and Skarra stopped by staff weapons held to his head.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Your death cannot help her.</blockquote>

[Sha're is carried off and the guards leave.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
I'm not afraid of you!</blockquote>

[They close the doors behind them and Skarra runs for the doors, throwing himself against them.]

'''INT—INFIRMARY'''

[O'Neill, in casuals, approaches Ferretti's bed where Kawalksi is sitting holding a coffee, he looks tired.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Doc says he's going to make it.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You going to stay here all night?</blockquote>

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

'''INT—CORRIDOR'''

[O'Neill walks, as if to leave, and then sees Daniel, leaning against a wall, looking a little lost.]

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They don't know what to do with me. And I don't know what to do with myself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
C'mon, let's get out of here.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks off and Daniel follows.]

'''INT—O'NEILL'S HOUSE'''

[O'Neill collects two beers from the fridge, takes them to the living room where Daniel is waiting. Daniel sneezes.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nice catch.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Thank you, sorry. Gate travel always seems to make my allergies… 
(He blows his nose) 
Sorry. 
(He takes the beer)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So, you were saying.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Anyway, um, as soon as you were gone they realised that they were free, I mean, Abydos was their world for the taking.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Have a little party did ya?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh yeah, big, big party. They treated me like their saviour, it was um…embarrassing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's amazing you turned out so normal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well if it wasn't for Sha're I probably… 
(He pauses at her memory) 
She was the complete opposite of everyone else, 
(He sits) 
she practically fell on the floor laughing every time I tried to do some chore that they all took for granted. Like um, grinding yaphetta flour. I mean, have you ever tried to grind your own flour?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm trying to kick the flour thing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Laughs) 
This is going straight to my head. 
(Takes another swig of beer) 
What time is it anyway? I must have Gate lag or something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, for crying out loud, you've had one beer. You're a cheaper date then my wife was.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, when am I going to meet your wife?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, probably…uh, never. After I came back from Abydos the first time she'd already left.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, so was I. I think in her heart she forgave me for what happened to our kid, she just…couldn't forget.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And what about you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm the opposite, I'll never forgive myself, but sometimes I can forget. Sometimes. 
(He takes another swig of beer)</blockquote>

'''INT—RA'S PALACE, A HOLDING ROOM'''

[We see the female soldier who was taken, dressed in a dress and veil, sitting in a room full of similarly dressed women. Sha're is also there. Teal'c and some guards enter, he points to the soldier.]

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

[His guards rush forward and pull her up.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Where are you taking me? I'm a sergeant in the U.S. Air Force. I demand to know where you're taking me! Let go!</blockquote>

[She is led into a room.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Let go of me! Where the hell are you taking me?</blockquote>

[Apophis enter the room.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Come. 
(They move her over to him) 
Lovely. Full of life. 
(He captures her with his hand device) 
You could be the vessel for my future queen.</blockquote>

[She is subdued and they remove her clothes. Apophis looks her over.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Yes. Very nice indeed. But I am not the one you must finally please.</blockquote>

[They lay her out on the slab in the centre of the room and Apophis calls into the side of the room, behind a curtain.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Yametha, re!
</blockquote>
[A woman comes over and stands over the soldier, from her pouch a symbiote reaches out, as if looking over the soldier.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Does she please you, my love?</blockquote>

[The symbiote retreats inside its pouch and the woman leaves.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
A shame. 
(He reaches out and kills the soldier with his hand device.) 
Send another.</blockquote>

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[We see Hammond enter the already half-full room. Samuels announces him.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Ladies and gentlemen, General Hammond.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
People, what is spoken of in this room is classified as SCI top secret. Colonel, what do we know about these hostiles that we didn't yesterday?</blockquote>

[They all sit.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not a hell of a lot, General. The Abydon boys who survived the attack on the base camp thought it was Ra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I thought he was dead, gentlemen. Which is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh he's dead, he's definitely dead, I mean uh…the bomb…he's got to be dead, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Then who's coming through the Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The Gods.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Not as in 'God' God. Ra played a God, the sun God, he borrowed the religion and culture of the ancient Egyptians he brought through the Gate and then he used it to enslave them. You see he wanted the people of Abydos to believe he was the only one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So you're saying Ra's not the last of his race after all?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Maybe he's got a brother—Ray!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's what we need.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Wait a minute. The legend goes Ra's race was dying, he survived by taking over the body of his human host an Egyptain buy, but who's to say more of his kind couldn't do the same thing, I mean this could have happened any time anywhere there's a Gate, I mean this could be happening right now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel you've had the most experience of fighting this hostile, assuming you have to defend yourself in the field are you up to it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We beat 'em once.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'll take that as a maybe. Captain Carter, you're confident that Stargate will take us where we want to go with this new information?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, they're feeding the revised coordinates into the targeting computer right now. It'll take time to calculate but it should spit out two or three destinations a month.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
People, let's not fool ourselves here, thing is both vast and dangerous and we are so far over our heads we can barely see daylight. We would all be much better off if the Stargate had been left in the ground.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
With respect, sir, we can't bury our heads in the sand, I mean think of how much we could learn, think of what we could bring back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What you could bring back is precisely what I'm afraid of Captain. However the President of the United States happens to agree with you. In the event your theories pan out he has ordered the formation of nine teams, whose duties will be to perform reconnaissance, determine threats and if possible to make peaceful contact with the people's of these worlds. Now these teams will operate on a covert top secret basis, no one will know of their existence except the President and the Joint Chiefs. Colonel O'Neill?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Your team will be designated SG-1. The team will consist of yourself, Captain Carter…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Doctor Jackson, we need you to work as a consultant with the other SG teams from here, your expertise in ancient cultures and languages are far too valuable…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No. Um, look I, I mean I know this is your decision but I just…I…really have to be no their team. My wife is out there General, I need to go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'll take that under consideration. Major Kawalski, you will head SG-2.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
I will?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill keeps telling me it's about time you had a command.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(When Kawalski looks over to him) 
I had a moment of weakness.</blockquote>

[An airman enters and hands a note to Samuels.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Ferretti's conscious, sir.</blockquote>

[O'Neill leaps up and leaves.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Dismissed.</blockquote>

[They all follow.]

'''INT—INFIRMARY'''

[Ferretti is sitting kind of upright, still tubed and looking rough, with a laptop on the table over his bed. Carter moves to his side.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(To nurse) 
I'll take over now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know you're probably not feeling so hot, but we need something from you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Seeing what Ferretti brings up on the screen) 
Look's like he's way ahead of you, Colonel.</blockquote>

[They watch as he calls us seven Gate symbols.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You saw all seven symbols? This is where they went?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
Mmm…</blockquote>

'''INT—CORRIDOR, LATER'''

[SG-1 and Samuels walks through the corridor, geared up for travel.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Colonel I'd like to remind you that rescuing Doctor Daniel's wife is a secondary objective, in the even you fail to notify base camp within 24 hours SG-2 will scrub the mission and return without you.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Not going to happen, Colonel. SG-2 won't leave without you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
All right, let's confirm transmitter codes, remember only the right code will open the iris and if you lose your transmitter, you cannot get home.</blockquote>

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

[They enter the Gate Room as the Gate activates.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND (On Intercom) 
SG-1, SG-2, if you do not return in 24 hours your remote transmitter codes will be locked out and the iris will be sealed permanently. At that point there will be no return. Is that understood?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir. 
(He salutes) 
Let's move out.</blockquote>

[They move up the ramp, Daniel among them.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
(To Kawalski) 
I kinda wish I was going with you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah? I'm kinda glad you're staying behind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
All right, let's go, boys.</blockquote>

[They step through.]

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET'''

[They roll out of the wormhole, and get to their feet.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Damn it, it's cold.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay, people let's get the gear out, let's move.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Sneezes) 
Anybody have Kleenex?</blockquote>

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

[They seize her.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No! No!</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, THE STARGATE'''

[Daniel is standing over the DHD.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, it must be some kind of ceremonial place, the Gate is…has to be an integral part of their spiritual culture. See this place was built for worshippers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah well let's just try and be out of here before the worshippees turn up huh? You figure out yet how to align this Gate to get back home?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah, the device is the same as on Abydos, this symbol represents…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You brief Kawalski's team yet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, this symbol represents…</blockquote>

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

[O'Neill walks over to Kawalski.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
We'll have to set up camp where there's better cover Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Sirs, I found what looks like a trail on the mountain, looks like it's seen traffic in the last couple of days.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you, airman. Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I've set up a line of claymores along that ridge at ten metre intervals.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sound about right, Kawalski?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah, that'll work.</blockquote>

[Carter shoots him a disgusted look and continues laying the cable.]

'''INT—RA' PALACE, HIS ROOM'''

[Sha're is brought in, fighting the guards.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No!</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Come.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No! No! No! 
(She bites one of the guards)</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
(Laughing) 
This one has spirit!</blockquote>

[He subdues her with the hand device and they remove her clothes, placing her on the slab. The woman comes out and her symbiote appears from the pouch.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Does she please you, my love?</blockquote>

[The symbiote comes out and lays on Sha're's stomach. The guards turn her over and it enters her though the neck. She screams.]

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET'''

[The FRED leads the way as SG-1 and SG-2 look for a place to set up base camp.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
This looks like a good spot right up here. 
(They stop)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, if we're not back in 20 hours…</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
We'll come rescue your sorry asses.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Negative, you'll go back through the Gate with the combination Daniel just gave you before the iris is locked so you can't go back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yes, sir. 
(He salutes)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Salutes back) 
Hold down the fort.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Pick me up a T-shirt.</blockquote>

[SG-1 take off.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, Doctor Jackson, tell me more about Sha're. How did you meet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're, well, she, uh…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
She was a gift.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
She was, actually, from the elders of Abydos the first time we were there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And you accepted?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hold up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

[He motions for them to get to cover, and they observe a troupe of figures heading their way. Dressed in robes and holding staffs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right Captain, take up position fifty yards…</blockquote>

[Daniel breaks cover and jumps out in front of the figures.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh for crying out loud!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(To the aliens) 
Hi, uhm…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Coming out of hiding with Carter) 
The man has not changed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, w-w-we just came through the Stargate. 
(He gets no response) 
Uh, the uh, Chapaa-ai…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Chapaa-ai! 
(All the aliens kneel down in reverence)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, please don't do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Friends of yours?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Unless we want to give ourselves a bad reputation I just think we should avoid shooting the first people we meet on a new planet. 
(He looks to the aliens and they bow their heads)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, please, you don't have to do this. 
(He lifts the leader up)</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Chula a lazla?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Lazla…? Choose…They want to know if we're here to choose. 
(O'Neill waves a hand 'yes') 
Uh, sure, we…we can choose…choosing is good. 
(To O'Neill) 
It's uh, a derivation of Arabic combined with…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, yeah, all right whatever, just ask 'em to take us to the nearest village or town.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(To aliens) 
Uh, would you take us to, uh, uhm, arush? Arush?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Yah, alla. Chulak. Chulak. 
(He leads the way)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Chulak, eh?</blockquote>

[They all follow the aliens to a rise where they overlook a town.]

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Chulak!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Chulak, s-sounds good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I hear it's nice this time of year.</blockquote>

[They walk on towards the village, entering a courtyard and then into a room where people are eating and celebrating. The room falls silent as the alien announces them]

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Atuhara a lazla.</blockquote>

[They are led to seats around the table on the floor, all the people are staring at them.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why are they treating us like this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They think we're gods.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay, we're gods. Now what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I have no idea.</blockquote>

[Someone blows an instrument emitting a low pitched note and all the people bow down low, we can hear footsteps from far away, heavy footsteps. Daniel bows down too, looking to the others.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
When in Rome.</blockquote>

[They all bow their heads and observe a troupe of Jaffa enter the room, then Teal'c, then Apophis and Sha're at his side.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Behold, your Queen. 
(He unveils Sha're)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're? 
(He darts out towards them)</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Kneel before your queen!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're, it's me.</blockquote>

[Sha're's eyes glow, and Apophis lifts his hand device, using it to throw Daniel across the room against a far wall. O'Neill raises his gun to shoot Apophis but Sha're steps in the way and a guard hits O'Neill over the head, knocking him out.]

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Samuels enters to find Hammond alone in the dark room.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
You wanted to see me, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Once we seal the iris we can still get a transmission from our teams?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Yes, sir, but we couldn't be sure it's not the aliens. Or one of our own people under duress of torture, sealing the Stargate is the best way…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How much longer do they have?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Just under two hours, sir.</blockquote>

'''INT—RA'S PALACE, HOLDING ROOM'''

[We see Daniel unconscious, murmuring. Carter attempts to wake him.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Daniel…Daniel…</blockquote>p;

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Waking) 
Whoa…Sha're!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Whoa, easy, you've been unconscious for hours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, I saw her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I know, we all did.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I was Sha're, she was…</blockquote>

[He gets to his feet and O'Neill moves over to them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well if there's way out of here I haven't found it yet. But look what I did find.</blockquote>

[Skarra approaches them.]

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Daniel! You're okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I think so. 
(They hug, Daniel coughs and they ease him to the floor)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Easy big guy, welcome back to the land of the conscious.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
O'Neill told me about Sha're.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack, help me. We can find her again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel…don't. If we can't find our way out of here the mission's a bust anyway, they seal the Gate in just over 90 minutes. C'mon Skarra let's find a way out of here.</blockquote>

[A guard, Teal'c, grabs O'Neill's arm tightly.]

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What is this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(In discomfort) 
It's a watch.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Revealing his face) 
This is not Goa'uld technology. Where are you from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Earth, Chicago if you want to be specific.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Your words mean nothing to me. Where are you from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, excuse me… 
(He draws a symbol on the ground) 
This is where we're from.</blockquote>

[Teal'c scrapes a line through the symbol and walk away.]

'''EXT—CHULAK, BASE CAMP'''

[Kawalski emerges from a tent in the windy desert.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Warren let's go, rise and shine. The sun is…the suns are coming up. We're going to be all right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARREN 
We can't go through another night like that, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALKSI 
Yeah, gets a little chilly on this planet at night. The Colonel should've sent us a radio message by now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARREN 
When do you have to make your decision, whether or not to go back through the Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
That'll be about when hell freezes over.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARREN 
I think that pretty much describes our current situation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
We are not leaving here without the Colonel, is that understood? Another fine day on planet Kawalski.</blockquote>

'''INT—RA'S PALACE, HOLDING ROOM'''

[O'Neill is testing the strength of bars on one of the room's windows. He climbs down to rejoin Skarra. Carter is sitting with Daniel a small distance away.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
So Ra isn't dead after all.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, it wasn't Ra. It was Apophis.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Who?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Um, it's from Egyptian mythology, Ra was the sun god who ruled the day, Apophis was the serpent guard, Ra's rival who ruled the night. It's right out of 'the book of the dead'. They're living it.</blockquote>

[We see O'Neill and Skarra walking the room's perimeters.]

<blockquote>SKARRA 
We will save Sha're?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I can't promise you anything at the moment…</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
But you are a great warrior! We defeated Ra together!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know, but take a look around here. Look what we're up against. We'll try.</blockquote>

[They move over to the others as the doors open and guards march in, led by Teal'c.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Shaka ha! Kree hol mel, Goa'uld!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(To Skarra) 
What'd he say?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
They're going to choose.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Choose what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Who will be the children of the gods.</blockquote>

[A royal box is brought in and Apophis emerges from it.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Jaffa!</blockquote>

[He helps Sha're out from the box.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're. Jack, help me please.</blockquote>

[He surges forward but Carter and O'Neill pull him back.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, don't, don't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Benna! Ya wan, ya daru! Kneel before your masters!</blockquote>

[Guards move among the people making them kneel. O'Neill catches Teal'c's eye who gives him a look, asking him to kneel by his expression. O'Neill nods imperceptibly and kneels. Skarra does not yet.]

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

[Skarra kneels. Robed Goa'uld move among the prisoners.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Benna, ya wan ya daru! Choose!</blockquote>

[A guards brings forth a prisoner and holds him up for the Goa'uld.]

<blockquote>GOA'ULD 
No. 
(He moves to another) 
This one. We choose this one. 
(She is escorted away)</blockquote>

[They approach where SG-1 are kneeling and Daniel leaps forward, grabbing one of them. Guards prevent O'Neill from interfering.]

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

<blockquote>GOA'ULD 
This one is passionate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How much would I remember if you chose me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, what are you doing? 
(A guards taps him with a staff weapon in warning)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Distressed) 
Something of the host must survive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GOA'ULD 
We choose…him. 
(Points to Skarra)</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
(He is grabbed) 
Na-nay, na nay! Jack! Jack!</blockquote>

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

[O'Neill jumps forward but a guard hits him on the nose with a staff weapon. Skarra is dragged off, screaming O'Neill's name over and over.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Kill the rest.</blockquote>

[The prisoners scream and run to the back of the room as Apophis and the Goa'uld leave. Teal'c and his guards remain. They advance and ready their weapons, Teal'c at the front of them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(To Teal'c) 
I can save these people! Help me! Help me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Many have said that. 
(He turns and fires on his own guards, than throws his weapon to O'Neill) 
But you are the first I believe could do it!</blockquote>

[A firefight ensues, O'Neill and Teal'c kill the guards and scare away the ones at the door. O'Neill heads back for the back wall.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get out of the way!</blockquote>

[The prisoners scatter and he fires at the wall, creating an opening. He checks it.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on, let's move!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Come on, come on!</blockquote>

[The people stream through.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Come on, move, go, come on!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on!</blockquote>

[Teal'c drops his helmet to the floor in the empty holding room as O'Neill and Daniel help prisoners through the opening.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You going to be okay?</blockquote>

[Daniel nods and leaves through the gap. O'Neill looks back to Teal'c.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, c'mon!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I have nowhere to go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
For this you can stay at my place. Let's go.</blockquote>

[He joins O'Neill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's your name?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, where will they take Skarra, the boy?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
To the Stargate, after they've selected hosts for their children they will return home.</blockquote>

[They follow the stream of prisoners heading for the Gate.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Hammond is in his office, overlooking the Gate.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Sir they have just under an hour until the deadline. We should've heard from them by now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
A lot can happen in an hour, Major.</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET'''

[O'Neill and SG-1 leads the prisoners at a fast pace.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We've got less than an hour, how we doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We lost a few when we got to the forest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They will be hunted down and killed. Anyone who does not exist to serve the gods is their enemy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And that makes you…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am Jaffa. Bred to serve, that they may live.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I…I don't understand.</blockquote>

[Teal'c stops and reveals his pouch and his symbiote. The prisoners nearby scream.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What the hell is that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is an infant Goa'uld, the larval form of the gods, I have carried one since I was a child, as all Jaffa carry one.</blockquote>

[They resume their walk.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get it out of there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
In exchange for carrying the infant Goa'uld until maturity, a Jaffa receives perfect health and long life. If I were to remove it I would eventually die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, well if I were you I'd take my chances.</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

[A ship flies down and hovers over the Gate.A small distance away O'Neill urges the prisoners over the crest of a hill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right come on people, let's go, let's move! 
(They move)</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(To O'Neill) 
The boy you seek is no longer who he was.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't want to hear that.</blockquote>

[At the Stargate, the ship's belly reveals a ring device which transports down Goa'uld's including Skarra, Apophis and Sha're. The ship flies off. As the prisoners and SG-1 near the Gate a Goa'uld glider swoops over them, readying its guns.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Take cover!</blockquote>

[The ship fires as the prisoners scatter—O'Neill and Teal'c return fire but make no difference.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, we're sitting ducks here!</blockquote>

[At the Stargate, Apophis dials out. As O'Neill and Teal'c fire ineffectually at the ship, suddenly we see over the shoulder of a soldier who fires a ground to air missile from a shoulder mounted firing device. It hits and destroys the ship. At the Stargate Apophis sees the explosion and steps through the Stargate. The prisoners cheer and O'Neill looks up to where the missile came from.]

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah! 
(Waves from the hill)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Turning to the prisoners) 
C'mon folks, up the hill!</blockquote>

[Kawalski moves down to help O'Neill up.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Great shot! How many are there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
About a dozen, maybe more. They're headed for the Gate.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
He's with them. Colonel, we don't have much time before they lock us out.</blockquote>

[They run up the hill with the others, Kawalski taking a lead position.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Warren, Casey, on my right!</blockquote>

[They position themselves at the crest of the hill, overlooking the Stargate. O'Neill sees Skarra bout to enter the Gate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No. No. 
(He runs down the hill)</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Colonel! Sir!</blockquote>

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

[Skarra turns and smiles.]

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

[Skarra's smile disappears, his eyes glow and he hits O'Neill with his hand device. O'Neill is thrown back and hits the ground as Skarra leaves and the Gate deactivates. O'Neill gets to his feet as the others run down to him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Did you see the symbols?</blockquote>

[O'Neill shakes his head.]

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

<blockquote>WARREN 
(Into radio) 
Sir we've got movement in the trees, a lot of movement in the trees. We've got hostiles, sir, hostiles closing in!</blockquote>

[At the Stargate, Kawalski takes control.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
All right people we're going on a little field trip. Daniel get busy on that Stargate, we've got company. Captain arm your claymores. Me, Casey and Warren'll be the last men out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Negative. That's my job. Captain, help Daniel, once you've sent the signal I want you to go through, tell them we're bringing company.</blockquote>

[Everyone flocks to the Stargate.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
(Into his radio) 
Warren, give me an update!</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARREN 
(Into his radio) 
Looks like a whole battalion, sir. 200 yards and closing.</blockquote>

[Kawalski readies the claymores as Carter stands with Daniel who is searching for the Stargate address in his notebook.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Doctor Jackson?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I've got it, I know I have it here, I know I've got it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Come on!</blockquote>

[On the hill, the Warren and Casey fall to their bellies as they spy forces coming from the trees.]

<blockquote>WARREN

Sir, we've got hostiles coming out of the trees.</blockquote>

[They start firing on the advancing Jaffa guards.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
Oh wait, there it is.</blockquote>

[They look to the Gate and watch as the iris opens.]

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

[Warren and Casey run down the hill from their positions, towards the Stargate. They take defensive positions behind rock and continue firing on the guards as they reach the crest of the hill. We see Carter step through the Gate and Daniel starts to encourage the prisoners to go after her.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Come on, come on, come on.</blockquote>

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

<blockquote>[We see Carter roll through the Gate onto the ramp and stand, putting out a hand as two prisoners follow after her and the soldiers around the Gate raise their guns.]</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hold your fire! They're refugees! 
(She helps them to their feet)</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(On the intercom) 
I hope you know what you're doing Captain.</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

[They are still firing against the guards as Daniel gets the last of the prisoners through the Gate.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Come on, two of you, two of you!</blockquote>

[The guards step over the crest of the hill and O'Neill turns to Kawalski.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hit the claymores!</blockquote>

[Kawalski does so and they explode, taking a line of guards with them. He hits another and another and the guards go down in droves. But there are still more and one of the prisoners is hit by enemy fire.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Come on, come on. We need cover here!</blockquote>

[Kawalski stands from his hiding place and screams, firing his weapon wildly. Daniel gets the last refugee through the Gate.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's it!</blockquote>

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

[Daniel pauses for one reluctant second and then runs through the Gate. ]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[We see Daniel pop through the Gate on the other side.]

[Kawalski runs for the Gate, as do the other soldiers.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Go, go, go!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Colonel, more hostiles, eight o'clock.</blockquote>

[They retreat while firing on the encroaching guards. Casey is hit by a staff blast.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Casey!</blockquote>

[Kawalski and O'Neill move to him and drag him towards the Gate, setting him down on the steps, always firing their weapons. We see one of the prisoners who had stayed wrestling a guard—squeezing him to death. The guard fall near to Kawalski and we see its symbiote rise out of its pouch, it flies through the air and whips into Kawalski's neck. He freezes, then groans, and it disappears into his neck. Teal'c and the prisoner leap through the Gate.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[The prisoner jumps out of the Gate and the soldiers cock their weapons, as Teal'c come through Carter and Daniel call out simultaneously to stop them firing.]

<blockquote>CARTER AND DANIEL 
Whoa! Hold your fire! Hold your fire!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They're with us! 
(She walks up to Teal'c and receives his weapon from him with a nod)</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

[O'Neill and Kawalski pick up Casey and run through the Gate—the guards are close on their heels and run through the Gate after them.]

[The three fall through the Gate, Casey collapses to the ramp.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Now! Lock it up, lock it up!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN

[The iris closes and they hear four metallic thuds as the guards that followed hit the metal. Then the sounds stop.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN

Wormhole disengaged.</blockquote>

[The iris opens. Medics rush up the ramp as they are called.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Medic! Medic</blockquote>!

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You got him? 
(To Kawalski, motioning to Casey)</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah, I got him, thanks. Hold on here, get these people back.</blockquote>

[The refugees surge forward and circle Carter and O'Neill, hugging and thanking them warmly.]

<blockquote>MEDIC 
We've got to help these people, please.</blockquote>

[Hammond walks up the ramp, amidst the confusion as Samuels clear the way for the medics.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Let's go, man down, stand back! Stand back!</blockquote>

[The medics lift Casey on to a stretcher.]

<blockquote>MEDIC 
Let's get him to the infirmary, let's get him inside. 
(They depart)</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill. Care to explain?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Um, we can use the Stargate to send these people home, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What's he doing here? 
(Motioning to Teal'c)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General Hammond, this is Teal'c. He can help us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Do you know what he is?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir I do, he's the man who saved our lives. And if you accept my recommendation, sir…he'll join SG-1.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That decision may not be up to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Stand back, let's get him off the ramp.</blockquote>

[Kawalski is on his knees, looking a little distressed.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Kawalski, are you all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah, I'm good. 
(He stands and regains his composure)</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill, Major Kawalski, this sure-to-be-very-interesting debriefing for SG units 1 and 2 will be at 0730.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
All right, let's get these people situated.</blockquote>

[They leave the Gate Room, leaving Teal'c, Carter, Daniel and O'Neill standing at the base of the ramp. Daniel looks back to the Gate.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
She's out there somewhere, Jack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know. So's Skarra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So what do we do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We find 'em.</blockquote>

[He leaves and the others follow, behind them we see that Kawalski is still standing at the top of the ramp, almost inside the Gate. He walks down the ramp towards the camera and as he gets close, his eyes glow.]

'''TEASER'''

'''FADE IN'''

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Four soldiers are sitting on duty around a table at the bottom of the ramp, playing cards.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Oh man, his hand's as lousy as his detail. All right, everybody, ante up. 
(Looking to female soldier) 
That's you too. 
(He deals) 
Seven to the duece, nothing there. Boss and the eight, nothing happening. Queen to the king, possible straight going there. Eight on the eight, and the jack gets a boss, eight's open.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
Aren't you guys afraid of an officer coming down here or something?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
Trust me, nobody ever comes down here but us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
(Looking to the slightly billowing Stargate cover) 
Does that thing always do that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Do what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
Whatever it is under the tarp, I just…saw it move or do something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
Probably the only thing it ever did was cost money.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Yeah and it looks like they ran out of that, they've been shipping personnel out of here for months.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
(Seeing tarp move again) 
I'm telling you, the thing is moving!</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
If you don't have the straight, just fold.</blockquote>

[She gets up from her seat and makes towards the Gate.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
(Agitated) 
Can we take that as a fold?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
Just finish the hand, she's out.</blockquote>

[The female soldier approaches the Gate and starts up the ramp, it starts shaking suddenly, they hear a rumbling sound and she backs away down the ramp as it shakes along with the table where the other soldiers are seated. The jump to their feet, hands to their guns.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 3 
What the…?</blockquote>

[The tarp flies from the Gate and reveals the Gate spinning and active.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 3 
Whoa!</blockquote>

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
I take it this has never happened before?</blockquote>

[Soldier 2 goes to the red phone on the wall as the other stand ready at the base of the ramp. The Gate activates—the kerwhoosh expands outwards and he drops the phone, the others falling to the ground as the Gate billows out towards them. Soldier One passes out guns and they cock them, standing and waiting in front of the Gate. The female soldier starts up the ramp.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
What are you doing?</blockquote>

[As she reaches the Gate a ball drops through it to her feet, glows and seems to scan her bodily. It falls still and she bends down to touch it.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 3 
What are you doing? Don't touch it!</blockquote>

[She picks it up, looking back to tem in cofusion. Then a serpent guard steps through the Gate right on top of her, taking a hold of her round the neck and taking her gun. The other soldiers cock their guns.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Hold your fire!</blockquote>

[More serpent guards come through the Gate.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 1 
Hold it…identify yourself!</blockquote>

[The last figure steps through the Gate, his armour made of gold. He stands in front of his seven guards and reveals his face—a human face.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Jaffa! Kree!</blockquote>

[The guard holding the female soldier reveals his face, and Apophis turns to him.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Teal'c, kree!</blockquote>

[Teal'c drops the female soldier's gun and passes her to Apophis roughly.]

<blockquote>FEMALE SOLDIER 
Get your hands off me!</blockquote>

[Apophis brings his hand up and a device emits a glow that latches on to her face, she becomes calm.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER! 
Let her go!</blockquote>

[One of the serpent guards fires with his staff weapon and a fire fight ensues. Teal'c covers the female soldier with his body as the bullets bounce off the Goa'uld armour. Apophis sees one of his guards go down.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Kree! Jaffa! 
(He waves them back)</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 2 
(Reaching for the phone desperately) 
We've got Jaffa down here we need…</blockquote>

[He is hit by a staff blast and goes down. All the soldiers are hit and go down. The base alarms have started sounding.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Tyger. A-lada spryng.</blockquote>

'''INT—BASE CORRIDORS'''

[Soldiers are running for the Gate room.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Go, go!</blockquote>

[The Mountain doors close.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

<blockquote>[General Hammond and the soldiers stream in and take position, all but Apophis, the female soldier and two of his guards are gone, one picks up the scanning device. The soldiers cock their guns.]</blockquote>

<blockquote>GENERAL HAMMOND 
Hold your fire!</blockquote>

[Apophis' eyes glow, his helmet goes up and they retreat through the Gate, it dissipates.]

'''END OF TEASER'''

'''EXT—OUTSIDE O'NEILL'S HOUSE'''

[An officer gets out of his car and walks towards the house, he knocks on the door. A soldier accompanying him moves round to the side of the house.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Sir, there's a ladder over here.</blockquote>

[They climb up to a tree house in the garden where O'Neill has his eye to a telescope pointing to the sky.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Colonel Jack O'Neill?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Not looking at him) 
Retired.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
I'm Major Samuels.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Air Force?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Yes, sir, I'm the General's Executive Officer.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Want a little piece of advice Major? Get re-assed to NASA. That's where all the action's going to be. Out there. 
(We see what he sees through the scope—a galaxy formation)</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
I'm uh, I'm under orders to bring you to see General Hammond, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Never heard of him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
He replaced General West. He says it's important. Has to do with the Stargate.</blockquote>

[O'Neill finally looks around, interested.]

'''EXT—MOUNTAIN BASE'''

[We see Samuel's car enter the base.]

'''INT—LIFT'''

[O'Neill is accompanied by an officer down to sublevel 11. They walk down the corridor.]

<blockquote>INTERCOM 
Tag team number nine to sublevel two vent shaft twenty-four.</blockquote>

[O'Neill signs in at the desk and they head for a second elevator.]

<blockquote>OFFICER 
We have to take a second elevator the rest of the way, sir, it's a long way down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Entering the lift) 
Yeah I know, I've been here before.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OFFICER 
Ah, of course.</blockquote>

[The lift descends and they get out, Samuels is at the end of the corridor.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
This way, sir. 
(He indicates to a door)</blockquote>

[Samuels follows O'Neill and the officer takes his previous position.]

'''INT—HAMMOND'S OFFICE'''

[There are two knocks on the door.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Come.</blockquote>

[Samuels and O'Neill enter.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
General Hammond, Colonel Jack O'Neill.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I can see that. Me I'm on my last tour. Time to get my thoughts together, maybe write a book. You ever think of writing a book of your exploits in the line of duty?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I've thought about it, but then I'd have to shoot anyone that actually read it. 
(Getting no response) 
That's a joke, sir, most of my work over the last ten years was classified.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Yes, of course.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Major Samuels mentioned something about the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Down to business, I can do that. 
(Standing) 
This way.</blockquote>

[They all leave the office.]

'''INT—LAB'''

[A doctor pulls back a sheet from dead Jaffa's face.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Anyone you know, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DOCTOR 
They're not human.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Ya think?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DOCTOR 
Best we can tell these slits are actually a pouch, similar to that found in a marsupial.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Like a kangaroo.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DOCTOR 
We haven't done an autopsy yet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
These people or aliens, whatever you want to call them…came through…killed four of my people and kidnapped another using advanced weapons.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Weapons, sir?</blockquote>

[An airman brings forwards a staff weapon and Hammond hands in to O'Neill.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
We can't figure out how they operate.</blockquote>

[With confidence, O'Neill activates and them deactivates the weapon.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Seen one before, I take it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir, 
(Hands the weapon back) 
but there are no creatures like this on Abydos. These people were human, they were from Earth. Ra brought 'em there thousands of years ago.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I know all about that, but your report said this Ra was in fact some kind of alien that lived inside a human body.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah his eyes glowed, that was our first clue.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Are you sure he's dead, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Unless he could survive a tactical nuclear warhead blowing up in his face, positive. Why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
These people, or whatever they are, were guarding another man who retreated back through the Stargate. I got a good look at his eyes Colonel. They glowed.</blockquote>

'''INT—CORRIDOR'''

[Hammond, O'Neill and Samuels are walking.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How do you feel about the Stargate mission after all this time, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
How do you mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, it's been over a year. Has your perspective changed?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, sir I… 
(He sees Ferretti and Kawalsky through a door)</blockquote>

[They enter Hammond's office again.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Was that…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Kawalsky and Ferretti yes, they were under your command on the first Stargate mission. 
(O'Neill sees his men led into an adjoining room though a window) 
Tell me about Daniel Jackson, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Why are they questioning my men?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
They're not your men anymore, Colonel—you retired. Daniel Jackson.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You read the report?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's all there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's this all about, General?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You didn't like Daniel Jackson, did you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel was a scientist. He sneezed a lot. Basically he was a geek, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
So you didn't have a lot of time for him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I didn't say that. He also saved my life and found the way home for my men and me—little thing like that kinda makes a person grow on ya, know what I mean?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
According to the mission brief your orders were to go through the Stargate to detect any possible threat to earth and if found, to detonate a nuclear devise and destroy the Gate on the other side.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
But that's not what you did, is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not right away. Ra's forces overpowered my team and took the weapon before I could arm it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
But with Doctor Daniel's help you eventually regained control and did in fact detonate the weapon. Yes?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
So to the best of your knowledge Daniel Jackson and everyone else you knew on Abydos is dead, correct?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's correct.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Good. 
(He rises from his seat) 
Then you won't mind if I authorise a go ahead on our plan.</blockquote>

'''INT—CORRIDOR'''

[They leave the office.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This quartz material the Stargates are made of, must be tough stuff if it can withstand a Mark 3.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well we sent a robot probe through after we got back, sir, it was flattened on the other end. Obviously the Abydos Stargate had been buried in the rubble.</blockquote>

[They enter the Gate room.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Well, somehow it got unburied.</blockquote>

[There is a bomb being prepped at the bottom of the Stargate ramp.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh my God. You're sending another bomb?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Mark 5 this time. If these creatures did reopen the Abydos Gate we intend to reseal it for good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, you can't do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Countdown's already started. Unless you have something to add.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(After a long pause) 
General Hammond…Sir. I regret to inform you that my report was not entirely accurate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You didn't detonate the bomb.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, I did detonate the bomb, sir, and it was aboard Ra's spacecraft, so it did kill him and eliminate the risk to Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
However?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
However…Ra's ship was in orbit above the planet at the time, neither the Gate nor anything else on the planet was destroyed. Daniel Jackson is alive and living with the people on Abydos.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You violated direct orders why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Because the people of Abydos are no threat to us. They deserve to be left alone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That's not up to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
With all due respect, sir—if I'd come back here and reported the Gate on the other side was still intact we would have sent another bomb, just like you were about to. It wasn't necessary to let those people die. The threat from Ra was gone.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
What about the probe we sent through? It was crushed instantly.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
After we came home Daniel buried the Gate in rocks making my return or anybody else's impossible.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Those four bodies lying in the infirmary say otherwise Airman.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(After a thoughtful pause) 
We'll send the bomb through on schedule.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, you can't do that!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Oh, I can't?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
There are innocent people on that planet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
There are innocent people here! I have my orders too Colonel, I obey mine. Take Colonel O'Neill to the holding room, let's give him some time to think about things while I decide what to do with him. 
(As he leaves) 
Sergeant…</blockquote>

[Two officers flank O'Neill and he walks off between them.]

'''INT—HOLDING ROOM'''

[O'Neill is led inside and the door is shut. Kawalski rises from one of the bunks and salutes crisply.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Colonel O'Neill, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm retired, Kawalski, lose the salute.</blockquote>

[Kawalski drops his hand and shakes O'Neill's hand, smiling.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Me and Ferretti didn't tell them anything.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I appreciate that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Hey those kids on Abydos saved my life too. 
(He motions to the table and chairs in the room)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, the kids. 
(They sit)</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
They're the whole reason they kept the secret, right?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
That one kid idolised you, remember him? Weird name…what was it?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Right. Remember how he was always saluting you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, my kid used to do that when he was little. Skarra kinda reminded me of him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Oh man Colonel, you and me went through that whole mission together, I never even knew you had a son.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, he died. Just before the Abydos mission.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
I'm sorry, sir, I had no idea.</blockquote>

[The door opens and they stand as Hammond walks in.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How many people did you say were on Abydos?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That we saw, maybe five thousand. Does this mean you're reconsidering sending the bomb, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It means I'm open to suggestions.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General, let me take a team through that Gate, we'll find out who those aliens are, Kawalski and I have been there before we know the lay of the land, we know the people.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You ''think'' you do, Daniel could be dead, you don't know what you'd be waking into.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sir, there is one way to find out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Right, we'll have the prototype probe shipped from MIT.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General we don't need that probe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
We don't?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, 
(Grabs the tissue box from the table) 
this'll do.</blockquote>

[He leaves the holding room and Kawalski and Hammond follow.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Soldiers surround the Gate, guns ready as the Stargate dials. O'Neill, Hammond, Samuels and Kawalski are in the viewing room.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN (Over Intercom) 
Chevron Four encoded!</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Care to explain this concept?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN (Over Intercom) 
Chevron Five encoded.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel has allergies.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Oh, I get it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
He'll know his came from me and not from someone, with all due respect, sir, like yourself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN (Over Intercom) 
Chevron Six encoded.</blockquote>

[O'Neill leaves the viewing room for the Gate room.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
Chevron Seven, locked.</blockquote>

[The Gate activates, and O'Neill walks up to it and tosses the tissue box through.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
The, um, object should reach final destination in five seconds, four, three, two, one. 
(The Gate dissipates) 
The object should now be through the Abydos Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Now what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Reentering the viewing room) 
Now we wait, if Daniel's still around he'll know what the message means.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
What if the aliens get it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well, they could be blowing their noses right now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
They could be planning an attack!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Aw, come on Samuels, let me be the cynic around here, okay? 
(To Hammond) 
Sir, this could take some time.</blockquote>

[They leave the Control Room.]

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM, SOME TIME LATER'''

[They are all waiting when the Stargate rumbles to life.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Hammond, Samuels, Kawalski and O'Neill watch as the tissue box flies back through the Stargate and the Gate event horizon dissipates. O'Neill picks up the box, and smiles. He hands it to Samuels and he and Hammond see that written on its side are the words 'THANKS, SEND MORE.']

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Permission to take a team through the Stargate, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Assuming I get the President's authorisation, the mission briefing will be at 0800 hours. Consider yourself recalled to active duty Colonel.</blockquote>

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Hammond enters the room.]

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Ten hut.</blockquote>

[The occupants, including O'Neill, salute.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Gentlemen, take your seats.</blockquote>

[Seven occupants of the room sit at the table, O'Neill remains standing by his chair.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Where's Captain Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Just arriving, sir.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'm assigning Sam Carter to this mission.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'd prefer to put together my own team, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Not on this mission, sorry. Carter's our expert on the Stargate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Where's he transferring from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
''She'' is transferring from the Pentagon.</blockquote>

[Carter enters the room, and moves to her seat at the table.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
I take it you're Colonel O'Neill. 
(She salutes) 
Captain Samantha Carter reporting, sir.</blockquote>

[O'Neill salutes back.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
But of course you go by Sam.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
You don't have to worry, Major, I played with dolls when I was a kid.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
GI Joe?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
No, Major Matt Mason.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Oh… 
(To Ferretti) 
Who?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
Major Matt Mason, astronaut doll. Did you have that cool little backpack that made him fly?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Let's get started, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you. 
(Carter sits) 
Those of you on your first trip through the Gate, you should be prepared for what to expect.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I've practically memorised your report from the first mission, I'd like to think I've been preparing for this my whole life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
I think what the Colonel is saying is, have you ever pulled out of a simulated bombing run in an F-16 at 8-plus G's?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Yes.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
(Surprised) 
Well, it's way worse than that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
By the time you get to the other side you're frozen stiff, like you've just been through a blizzard, naked. 
(He and Kawalski grin at each other)</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
That's a result of the compression your molecules undergo during the millisecond required for reconstitution.</blockquote>

O'NEILL <blockquote>
Oh here we go, another scientist, General ''please.''</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Theoretical astrophysicist.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Which means?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Which means she is smarter than you are Colonel. Especially in matters related to the Stargate.</blockquote>

[Kawalski and Ferretti are sniggering, O'Neill looks over to them and they stop abruptly.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, I was studying the Gate technology for two years before Daniel Jackson made it work and before you both went through. I should have gone through then. But, sir, you and your men might as well accept the fact that I am going through this time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well with all due respect Doctor I…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
It is appropriate to refer to a person by their rank, not their salutation. You should call me Captain, not Doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Captain Carter's assignment to this unit is not an option, it's an order.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I'm an Air Force officer just like you are, Colonel, and just because my reproductive organs are on the inside instead of the outside, doesn't mean I can't handle whatever you can handle.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Smiling) 
Oh, this has nothing to do with you being a woman. I ''like'' women. I just have a little problem with scientists.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Colonel, I logged over a hundred hours in enemy airspace during the Gulf War. Is that tough enough for you? Or are we going to have to arm wrestle?</blockquote>

[O'Neill raises his eyebrows in amusement.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
I hate to throw a damper on your enthusiasm, but I still say the safest most logical way to deal with this is to bury the Stargate, just like the ancient Egyptians did, make it impossible for the aliens to return. It's the only way to eliminate the threat.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Except it won't work.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
It worked before.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
They know what we are now, they know ho far we've come, we're a threat to them. They've got ships General, Ra had one as big as the great pyramid, they don't need the Stargate to get here they can do it the old fashioned way. Now with all due respect to Mr Glass-is-half-empty over there don't you think maybe we should use the Stargate to do a little reconnaissance before they decide to come back…again?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'll give you exactly twenty-four hours to either return or send a message through, no Kleenex boxes please. Otherwise we'll assume the worst and send a bomb through.</blockquote>

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

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[The Gate activates, the Colonel, his team and Hammond enter the room.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Try to follow orders this time, Colonel.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
This time you bring Daniel Jackson back, is that clear?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir.</blockquote>

[They salute.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Move out.</blockquote>

[His team walks through the Stargate, leaving Carter and O'Neill at the base of the ramp.]

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Don't worry, sir, I won't let you down.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Good. I was going to say "ladies first."</blockquote>

[They walk to the even horizon.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
You know, you really will like me when you get to know me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, I adore you already, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Staring at the even horizon up close) 
My God, look at this! I mean, the energy the Gate must release to create a stable wormhole is…it's astronomical to use exactly the right word! 
(She touches it and it ripples) 
You can actually see the fluctuation on the even horizon!</blockquote>

[O'Neill shoves her through the Gate, then walks through after her.]

'''INT—ABYDOS STARGATE ROOM'''

[We see O'Neill emerge through the Gate and it dissipate behind him. His team are there getting eady. He approaches Carter, who is hunched over.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Ugh. I think I'm going to be sick, ugh.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Maybe you shouldn't have had that big lunch, huh?</blockquote>

[They all move out into the apparently empty room when suddenly natives emerge from the shadows and point guns at them. They cock their own guns—at a stand off. Then Daniel pops up.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Cha'hari! Cha'hari. Lower your guns.</blockquote>

[The natives lower their weapons and relax.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hello, Jack, welcome back.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks towards him and then barges past to get to Skarra who stands behind him. Skarra salutes and O'Neill returns it with a smile, then they hug with a laugh.]

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

<blockquote>SKARRA 
O'Neill! I did not think to be seeing you again!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Turns to Daniel) 
Daniel, how you doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Good, you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Much better, now that I see everyone's okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
(Making the "live long and prosper" sign) 
Greetings from Earth, Doctor Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Hello, Ferretti.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Brought you a little something, Daniel. 
(He hands Daniel a pocket pack of tissues)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Kawalski.</blockquote>

[Sha're emerges slightly at the side of the room.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're, don't be shy. 
(She joins him)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hi, 
(He hold out a hand to her) 
good to see you again. 
(They shake hands)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So I figure it was only a matter of time before you had to tell the truth about us still being here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yep. Why the militia, has something else come through?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, just taking precautions, why?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Amazing, 
(Looking at the DHD) 
this is what was missing from the dig at Giza. This is how they controlled it! It took us fifteen years and three supercomputers to MacGyver a system on Earth.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Look how small it is!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Captain! 
(He motions to Daniel)</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh right, excuse me. 
(She turns to them) 
Doctor Jackson I presume, I'm Doctor Samantha Carter. 
(They shake hands)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thought you wanted to be called Captain?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What's going on, Jack?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Six hostile aliens came through the Stargate on Earth, four people are dead, one's missing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
One of them looked like Ra, Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, they didn't come from here. I mean the boys take shifts guarding it 36 hours a day, every day, we'd know if they came through here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well they came from somewhere Daniel, I'm going to have to look around.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I…I think I can help you find out who it was but, uh, it's going to have to wait until this sandstorm is over. Uh, we were about to have our evening meal. Why don't you join us?</blockquote>

'''INT—ABYDOS STARGATE ROOM, SOME TIME LATER'''

[O'Neill, his team, Daniel and many Abydonians are gathered in a circle on the floor, eating.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Everybody try this.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
This too. 
(He hands out bowls of liquid)</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Drink. 
(He hands him a bowl)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(He sniffs it)
Moonshine?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Moon…shine?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, moonshine, as in booze, er…Daniel, what are you teaching these kids?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Try it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right. Skarra's moonshine. I'll give it a little shot. 
(Spits it out suddenly) 
Oh…God!</blockquote>

[Everyone laughs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Rasps) 
Smooth, very smooth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Moonshine!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Your little soldiers are all grown up, Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, I'm so proud, whoa…</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
O'Neill…your lighter? 
(He holds out the lighter)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No, it's yours, I gave that to you to keep. Remember?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Thank you. 
(He leaves)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You know he's never had that out of his sight the whole time you were gone.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So this…this man who looked like Ra, he must have come through another Gate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
What other Gate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Another Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The Stargate only goes here.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, no I think you're wrong about that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I was there, we ran hundreds of permutations.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
But you didn't have what you need.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel what are you talking about?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Daniel, the storm has passed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'll show you. Sha're, ben quar ri, Jack and his friends…to see the vili tao an.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
Bonni wai?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I won't be long.</blockquote>

[Sha're kisses him and everyone whoops and laughs, O'Neill giving him a weird look.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
Goodbye, my Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Stunned) 
Bye.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Ferretti, hold the fort.</blockquote>

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

'''EXT—OUTSIDE THE PYRAMID'''

[Kawalski, O'Neill, Carter and Daniel emerge into the bright desert.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Boy, I can't say I've missed this place.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Come on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
This is just incredible.</blockquote>

'''INT—CAVERN'''

[Torches light a tunnel leading inside the pyramid.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So I figured there had to be more to this place so I started exploring, just the area around the town and the pyramid at first and after about a month I found this place. Uh, Captain Doctor, you're going to love this.</blockquote>

[Torches light up a big room with elaborate drawing on the walls.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Oh my God, this is amazing, this is the archaeological find of the century.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So Daniel, you had a chance to translate this yet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I think so.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What does it say?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, uh, it doesn't say anything. Actually it's sort of a chart, more of a…map.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well I haven't been able to analyse all of it, I mean look at it, it would take my whole life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well Daniel, we don't have that long. What's it a map of?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, the cartouches seem to be separated clearly into groupings, each grouping is attached to the others with a series of lines, and each grouping of glyphs contain seven symbols, so you can see where this is going of course.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Tell us anyway.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
All of the symbols are on the Stargate in the Abydos chamber. I've also managed to chart some of them in the Abydos night sky, or at least pretty close. Jack I think that this is a map of a vast network of Stargates, Stargates that are…are all over the galaxy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh, I don't think that can be, Doctor.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well, because after Colonel O'Neill and his team came back my team tried hundreds of symbol permutations using Earth as the point of origin and it never worked.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I tried the same here and it didn't work either but I figured the destinations I tried were either destroyed or buried, but, um, I mean some of them somewhere must still exist.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>CARTER 
Then where did your Ra lookalike come from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Uh…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Look I don't pretend to know anything about Astrophysics but couldn't the planets change? I mean, uh, drift apart or something like that, to throw this map off?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I knew I'd like you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
You mean I'm right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
According to the expanding universe model all bodies in the universe are constantly moving further apart…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So I the thousands of years since the Stargate was built…</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
All the coordinates could have changed.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
DANIEL 
But why does it still work between Abydos and Earth?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Abydos is probably the closest planet in the network to Earth, I mean the closer they are the less the difference in relative position due to expansion—the further away the greater the difference. In a few thousand more years it won't work between Earth and Abydos either.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Unless you can adjust for the displacement.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Right, now with this map as a base that should be easy. All we have to do is correct for Doppler's Shift, then I should be able to arrive at a computer model that can predict the adjustments necessary to get the Gate working again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Okay, so what did we just figure out?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Any civilisation advanced enough to build this Gate network would be able to compensate for 50,000 years of stellar drift.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So…the Stargate can go other places?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
The aliens could have come from anywhere.</blockquote>

'''INT—ABYDOS STARGATE ROOM'''

[The Abydonians are talking and laughing with the team and Ferretti. They watch Sha're walk past them.]

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
Man, you got to give Daniel credit. She is one beautiful woman.</blockquote>

[They turn as the Stargate starts to dial in.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
We got company, boys! Move, move! Take cover!</blockquote>

[They scatter to the edges of the room, hiding behind the pillars, holding their guns ready as the Stargate opens. Goa'uld guards walk through and start firing immediately, hitting a few Abyodonians, they fire back, as do the SG team. The Gao'uld have the upper hand quickly and Apophis looks on as they shoot the SG team down. Skarra sees Sha're and fires at the Goa'uld.]

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Sha're, shim rota! Shim rota!</blockquote>

[They seize her, she screams and Skarra steps forward but finds his gun jammed. He tries to fight but is grabbed.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No! Skarra!</blockquote>

[Teal'c's helmet opens to reveal his face to Skarra as he holds him.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
This is not your weapon. Where did you get it?</blockquote>

[Skarra spits in his face. Teal'c brings him to Apophis, who lowers his helmet.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Good choice Teal'c. A perfect specimen.</blockquote>

[Apophis raises his hand device and knocks Skarra out with it.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No! Stop it! Stop it! Skarra! Skarra!</blockquote>

[She is taken to Apophis.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
You may be the one.</blockquote>

[He knocks her out with the hand device. A guard dials the Gate and we see Ferretti, injured and barely conscious, watching the dialling. They leave through the Gate and the Abydonians emerge as Daniel and the other return.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're! 
(He moves to an injured Abydonian) 
Bolaa…</blockquote>

<blockquote>BOLAA 
There's so…there's so many…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>BOLAA 
So many of them…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
It's all right. Just tell me what happened.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BOLAA 
It was Ra…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's going on?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ra is dead. Tao qua Ra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>BOLAA 
No…I saw…he took Sha're, he took Skarra…into the Chaapa-ai.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Where, did you see? Did you see?</blockquote>

[Bolaa's eyes close slowly and he dies.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
What's going on, Daniel? Could there be another Ra?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How in the hell should I know? I should have left the barricade up. This my fault.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Holding a hand to a fallen soldiers neck) 
Come on, come on.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(At Ferretti's side) 
Colonel Ferretti needs medical attention now!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Go, help him, I can send you back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You're coming with us this time, Daniel. I've got orders.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Laughs) 
I don't care about your orders, Colonel. My wife is out there. So is Skarra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And the only way we're going to get 'em back is for you to come home with us. Ferretti might have seen those co-ordinates. Captain, do you have the video?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I've got everything I need.</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
(Weak) 
Too many…</blockquote>

[Daniel looks around to his friends, some dying, some grieving.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Ni-ya. Ni-ya. 
(They gather around him) 
After we go through the Chappa-ai you have to bury it like we did before and then leave this place.</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABYDONIAN 
You come back?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, I can't. Nobody can. That's what I'm telling you, not for a…long time. Now as soon as we're gone in want you to close it, bury it, put a big, heavy cover stone over it—nothing good could ever come through this Gate. Do you understand me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ABYDONIAN 
You came through, Daniel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Do you remember the story I told you, how the ancient Egyptians back on Earth cut themselves off from Ra? Well that is exactly what you have to do. Then in one year…one year from this day you take the cover stone away, I will try to bring Sha're home with me on that day. But if I don't make it back, if I don't return then you must bury the Gate again forever, joa qua? You tell Sha're's father that I'll return in one year.</blockquote>

[They all hug him, saying goodbye. Then he beaks free and starts to dial out on the DHD.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[The Gate spins.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN (Over Intercom) 
Stand by for arrival, stand by for arrival.</blockquote>

[The blast doors close and soldiers gather at the ramp base as the wormhole forms. The team bursts through, O'Neill and Carter dragging Ferretti. Samuels and Hammond enter.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Get the medic!</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
(Into his radio) 
Close the iris! Close the iris!</blockquote>

[The metal iris closes on the Gate and O'Neill spins round in surprise, his gun ready.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(To Hammond) 
What the hell's that, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That's our insurance against any more surprises. It's pure titanium, hopefully impenetrable.</blockquote>

[He watches as the medics put Ferretti onto a stretcher.]

<blockquote>MEDIC 
Get the gauze on him. We've got to stop the bleeding from his leg.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(To O'Neill) 
What happened, Colonel?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Base camp was hit while we were on recon, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Same hostiles who attacked us?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel's wife and one of our kids was kidnapped.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Your kids?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
From the previous mission, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
General hi, I'm Daniel Jackson, we've never met, uhm, I'd like to be on the team that goes after them.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
You're not in any position to make demands, Jackson. 
(He moves up the ramp to see to the wounded)</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PALACE'''

[Guards enter a holding room full of scared humans. The lead guard points out Sha're.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
C-Chel nok, her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Na ne!</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No, Skarra!</blockquote>

[Sha're is seized and Skarra stopped by staff weapons held to his head.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Your death cannot help her.</blockquote>

[Sha're is carried off and the guards leave.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
I'm not afraid of you!</blockquote>

[They close the doors behind them and Skarra runs for the doors, throwing himself against them.]

'''INT—INFIRMARY'''

[O'Neill, in casuals, approaches Ferretti's bed where Kawalksi is sitting holding a coffee, he looks tired.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Doc says he's going to make it.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You going to stay here all night?</blockquote>

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

'''INT—CORRIDOR'''

[O'Neill walks, as if to leave, and then sees Daniel, leaning against a wall, looking a little lost.]

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They don't know what to do with me. And I don't know what to do with myself.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
C'mon, let's get out of here.</blockquote>

[O'Neill walks off and Daniel follows.]

'''INT—O'NEILL'S HOUSE'''

[O'Neill collects two beers from the fridge, takes them to the living room where Daniel is waiting. Daniel sneezes.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Nice catch.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Thank you, sorry. Gate travel always seems to make my allergies… 
(He blows his nose) 
Sorry. 
(He takes the beer)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
So, you were saying.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Anyway, um, as soon as you were gone they realised that they were free, I mean, Abydos was their world for the taking.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Have a little party did ya?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh yeah, big, big party. They treated me like their saviour, it was um…embarrassing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
It's amazing you turned out so normal.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Well if it wasn't for Sha're I probably… 
(He pauses at her memory) 
She was the complete opposite of everyone else, 
(He sits) 
she practically fell on the floor laughing every time I tried to do some chore that they all took for granted. Like um, grinding yaphetta flour. I mean, have you ever tried to grind your own flour?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm trying to kick the flour thing.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Laughs) 
This is going straight to my head. 
(Takes another swig of beer) 
What time is it anyway? I must have Gate lag or something.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, for crying out loud, you've had one beer. You're a cheaper date then my wife was.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, when am I going to meet your wife?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh, probably…uh, never. After I came back from Abydos the first time she'd already left.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I'm sorry.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, so was I. I think in her heart she forgave me for what happened to our kid, she just…couldn't forget.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And what about you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I'm the opposite, I'll never forgive myself, but sometimes I can forget. Sometimes. 
(He takes another swig of beer)</blockquote>

'''INT—RA'S PALACE, A HOLDING ROOM'''

[We see the female soldier who was taken, dressed in a dress and veil, sitting in a room full of similarly dressed women. Sha're is also there. Teal'c and some guards enter, he points to the soldier.]

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

[His guards rush forward and pull her up.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Where are you taking me? I'm a sergeant in the U.S. Air Force. I demand to know where you're taking me! Let go!</blockquote>

[She is led into a room.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Let go of me! Where the hell are you taking me?</blockquote>

[Apophis enter the room.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Come. 
(They move her over to him) 
Lovely. Full of life. 
(He captures her with his hand device) 
You could be the vessel for my future queen.</blockquote>

[She is subdued and they remove her clothes. Apophis looks her over.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Yes. Very nice indeed. But I am not the one you must finally please.</blockquote>

[They lay her out on the slab in the centre of the room and Apophis calls into the side of the room, behind a curtain.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Yametha, re!
</blockquote>
[A woman comes over and stands over the soldier, from her pouch a symbiote reaches out, as if looking over the soldier.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Does she please you, my love?</blockquote>

[The symbiote retreats inside its pouch and the woman leaves.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
A shame. 
(He reaches out and kills the soldier with his hand device.) 
Send another.</blockquote>

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[We see Hammond enter the already half-full room. Samuels announces him.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Ladies and gentlemen, General Hammond.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
People, what is spoken of in this room is classified as SCI top secret. Colonel, what do we know about these hostiles that we didn't yesterday?</blockquote>

[They all sit.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Not a hell of a lot, General. The Abydon boys who survived the attack on the base camp thought it was Ra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I thought he was dead, gentlemen. Which is it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh he's dead, he's definitely dead, I mean uh…the bomb…he's got to be dead, right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Then who's coming through the Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
The Gods.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Not as in 'God' God. Ra played a God, the sun God, he borrowed the religion and culture of the ancient Egyptians he brought through the Gate and then he used it to enslave them. You see he wanted the people of Abydos to believe he was the only one.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
So you're saying Ra's not the last of his race after all?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Maybe he's got a brother—Ray!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
That's what we need.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Wait a minute. The legend goes Ra's race was dying, he survived by taking over the body of his human host an Egyptain buy, but who's to say more of his kind couldn't do the same thing, I mean this could have happened any time anywhere there's a Gate, I mean this could be happening right now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel you've had the most experience of fighting this hostile, assuming you have to defend yourself in the field are you up to it?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We beat 'em once.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'll take that as a maybe. Captain Carter, you're confident that Stargate will take us where we want to go with this new information?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well, they're feeding the revised coordinates into the targeting computer right now. It'll take time to calculate but it should spit out two or three destinations a month.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
People, let's not fool ourselves here, thing is both vast and dangerous and we are so far over our heads we can barely see daylight. We would all be much better off if the Stargate had been left in the ground.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
With respect, sir, we can't bury our heads in the sand, I mean think of how much we could learn, think of what we could bring back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What you could bring back is precisely what I'm afraid of Captain. However the President of the United States happens to agree with you. In the event your theories pan out he has ordered the formation of nine teams, whose duties will be to perform reconnaissance, determine threats and if possible to make peaceful contact with the people's of these worlds. Now these teams will operate on a covert top secret basis, no one will know of their existence except the President and the Joint Chiefs. Colonel O'Neill?</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Your team will be designated SG-1. The team will consist of yourself, Captain Carter…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
And me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Doctor Jackson, we need you to work as a consultant with the other SG teams from here, your expertise in ancient cultures and languages are far too valuable…</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No. Um, look I, I mean I know this is your decision but I just…I…really have to be no their team. My wife is out there General, I need to go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
I'll take that under consideration. Major Kawalski, you will head SG-2.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
I will?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill keeps telling me it's about time you had a command.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(When Kawalski looks over to him) 
I had a moment of weakness.</blockquote>

[An airman enters and hands a note to Samuels.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Ferretti's conscious, sir.</blockquote>

[O'Neill leaps up and leaves.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Dismissed.</blockquote>

[They all follow.]

'''INT—INFIRMARY'''

[Ferretti is sitting kind of upright, still tubed and looking rough, with a laptop on the table over his bed. Carter moves to his side.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
(To nurse) 
I'll take over now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know you're probably not feeling so hot, but we need something from you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
(Seeing what Ferretti brings up on the screen) 
Look's like he's way ahead of you, Colonel.</blockquote>

[They watch as he calls us seven Gate symbols.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You saw all seven symbols? This is where they went?</blockquote>

<blockquote>FERRETTI 
Mmm…</blockquote>

'''INT—CORRIDOR, LATER'''

[SG-1 and Samuels walks through the corridor, geared up for travel.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Colonel I'd like to remind you that rescuing Doctor Daniel's wife is a secondary objective, in the even you fail to notify base camp within 24 hours SG-2 will scrub the mission and return without you.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Not going to happen, Colonel. SG-2 won't leave without you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
All right, let's confirm transmitter codes, remember only the right code will open the iris and if you lose your transmitter, you cannot get home.</blockquote>

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

[They enter the Gate Room as the Gate activates.]

<blockquote>HAMMOND (On Intercom) 
SG-1, SG-2, if you do not return in 24 hours your remote transmitter codes will be locked out and the iris will be sealed permanently. At that point there will be no return. Is that understood?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir. 
(He salutes) 
Let's move out.</blockquote>

[They move up the ramp, Daniel among them.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
(To Kawalski) 
I kinda wish I was going with you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah? I'm kinda glad you're staying behind.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
All right, let's go, boys.</blockquote>

[They step through.]

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET'''

[They roll out of the wormhole, and get to their feet.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Damn it, it's cold.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay, people let's get the gear out, let's move.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Sneezes) 
Anybody have Kleenex?</blockquote>

'''INT—RA'S PALACE, THE WOMEN'S HOLDING CELL'''

[Teal'c points to where Sha're is sitting.]

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

[They seize her.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No! No!</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, THE STARGATE'''

[Daniel is standing over the DHD.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, it must be some kind of ceremonial place, the Gate is…has to be an integral part of their spiritual culture. See this place was built for worshippers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah well let's just try and be out of here before the worshippees turn up huh? You figure out yet how to align this Gate to get back home?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yeah, the device is the same as on Abydos, this symbol represents…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You brief Kawalski's team yet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Yes, this symbol represents…</blockquote>

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

[O'Neill walks over to Kawalski.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
We'll have to set up camp where there's better cover Colonel.</blockquote>

<blockquote>AIRMAN 
Sirs, I found what looks like a trail on the mountain, looks like it's seen traffic in the last couple of days.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Thank you, airman. Carter?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I've set up a line of claymores along that ridge at ten metre intervals.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Sound about right, Kawalski?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah, that'll work.</blockquote>

[Carter shoots him a disgusted look and continues laying the cable.]

'''INT—RA' PALACE, HIS ROOM'''

[Sha're is brought in, fighting the guards.]

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No!</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Come.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SHA'RE 
No! No! No! 
(She bites one of the guards)</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
(Laughing) 
This one has spirit!</blockquote>

[He subdues her with the hand device and they remove her clothes, placing her on the slab. The woman comes out and her symbiote appears from the pouch.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Does she please you, my love?</blockquote>

[The symbiote comes out and lays on Sha're's stomach. The guards turn her over and it enters her though the neck. She screams.]

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET'''

[The FRED leads the way as SG-1 and SG-2 look for a place to set up base camp.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
This looks like a good spot right up here. 
(They stop)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right, if we're not back in 20 hours…</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
We'll come rescue your sorry asses.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Negative, you'll go back through the Gate with the combination Daniel just gave you before the iris is locked so you can't go back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yes, sir. 
(He salutes)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Salutes back) 
Hold down the fort.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Pick me up a T-shirt.</blockquote>

[SG-1 take off.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
So, Doctor Jackson, tell me more about Sha're. How did you meet?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're, well, she, uh…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
She was a gift.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
She was, actually, from the elders of Abydos the first time we were there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
And you accepted?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hold up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
What?</blockquote>

[He motions for them to get to cover, and they observe a troupe of figures heading their way. Dressed in robes and holding staffs.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right Captain, take up position fifty yards…</blockquote>

[Daniel breaks cover and jumps out in front of the figures.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Oh for crying out loud!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(To the aliens) 
Hi, uhm…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Coming out of hiding with Carter) 
The man has not changed.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, w-w-we just came through the Stargate. 
(He gets no response) 
Uh, the uh, Chapaa-ai…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Chapaa-ai! 
(All the aliens kneel down in reverence)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, please don't do that.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Friends of yours?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Unless we want to give ourselves a bad reputation I just think we should avoid shooting the first people we meet on a new planet. 
(He looks to the aliens and they bow their heads)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Oh, please, you don't have to do this. 
(He lifts the leader up)</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Chula a lazla?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Lazla…? Choose…They want to know if we're here to choose. 
(O'Neill waves a hand 'yes') 
Uh, sure, we…we can choose…choosing is good. 
(To O'Neill) 
It's uh, a derivation of Arabic combined with…</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, yeah, all right whatever, just ask 'em to take us to the nearest village or town.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(To aliens) 
Uh, would you take us to, uh, uhm, arush? Arush?</blockquote>

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Yah, alla. Chulak. Chulak. 
(He leads the way)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Chulak, eh?</blockquote>

[They all follow the aliens to a rise where they overlook a town.]

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Chulak!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Chulak, s-sounds good.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I hear it's nice this time of year.</blockquote>

[They walk on towards the village, entering a courtyard and then into a room where people are eating and celebrating. The room falls silent as the alien announces them]

<blockquote>ALIEN 
Atuhara a lazla.</blockquote>

[They are led to seats around the table on the floor, all the people are staring at them.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Why are they treating us like this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
They think we're gods.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Okay, we're gods. Now what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I have no idea.</blockquote>

[Someone blows an instrument emitting a low pitched note and all the people bow down low, we can hear footsteps from far away, heavy footsteps. Daniel bows down too, looking to the others.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
When in Rome.</blockquote>

[They all bow their heads and observe a troupe of Jaffa enter the room, then Teal'c, then Apophis and Sha're at his side.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Behold, your Queen. 
(He unveils Sha're)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're? 
(He darts out towards them)</blockquote>

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Kneel before your queen!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're, it's me.</blockquote>

[Sha're's eyes glow, and Apophis lifts his hand device, using it to throw Daniel across the room against a far wall. O'Neill raises his gun to shoot Apophis but Sha're steps in the way and a guard hits O'Neill over the head, knocking him out.]

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Samuels enters to find Hammond alone in the dark room.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
You wanted to see me, sir?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Once we seal the iris we can still get a transmission from our teams?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Yes, sir, but we couldn't be sure it's not the aliens. Or one of our own people under duress of torture, sealing the Stargate is the best way…</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
How much longer do they have?</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Just under two hours, sir.</blockquote>

'''INT—RA'S PALACE, HOLDING ROOM'''

[We see Daniel unconscious, murmuring. Carter attempts to wake him.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Daniel…Daniel…</blockquote>p;

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Waking) 
Whoa…Sha're!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Whoa, easy, you've been unconscious for hours.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, I saw her.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
I know, we all did.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I was Sha're, she was…</blockquote>

[He gets to his feet and O'Neill moves over to them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Well if there's way out of here I haven't found it yet. But look what I did find.</blockquote>

[Skarra approaches them.]

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Daniel! You're okay.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I think so. 
(They hug, Daniel coughs and they ease him to the floor)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Easy big guy, welcome back to the land of the conscious.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
O'Neill told me about Sha're.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Jack, help me. We can find her again.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel…don't. If we can't find our way out of here the mission's a bust anyway, they seal the Gate in just over 90 minutes. C'mon Skarra let's find a way out of here.</blockquote>

[A guard, Teal'c, grabs O'Neill's arm tightly.]

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

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
What is this?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(In discomfort) 
It's a watch.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(Revealing his face) 
This is not Goa'uld technology. Where are you from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Earth, Chicago if you want to be specific.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Your words mean nothing to me. Where are you from?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Uh, excuse me… 
(He draws a symbol on the ground) 
This is where we're from.</blockquote>

[Teal'c scrapes a line through the symbol and walk away.]

'''EXT—CHULAK, BASE CAMP'''

[Kawalski emerges from a tent in the windy desert.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Warren let's go, rise and shine. The sun is…the suns are coming up. We're going to be all right.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARREN 
We can't go through another night like that, Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALKSI 
Yeah, gets a little chilly on this planet at night. The Colonel should've sent us a radio message by now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARREN 
When do you have to make your decision, whether or not to go back through the Stargate?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
That'll be about when hell freezes over.</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARREN 
I think that pretty much describes our current situation.</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
We are not leaving here without the Colonel, is that understood? Another fine day on planet Kawalski.</blockquote>

'''INT—RA'S PALACE, HOLDING ROOM'''

[O'Neill is testing the strength of bars on one of the room's windows. He climbs down to rejoin Skarra. Carter is sitting with Daniel a small distance away.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
So Ra isn't dead after all.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
No, it wasn't Ra. It was Apophis.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Who?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Um, it's from Egyptian mythology, Ra was the sun god who ruled the day, Apophis was the serpent guard, Ra's rival who ruled the night. It's right out of 'the book of the dead'. They're living it.</blockquote>

[We see O'Neill and Skarra walking the room's perimeters.]

<blockquote>SKARRA 
We will save Sha're?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I can't promise you anything at the moment…</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
But you are a great warrior! We defeated Ra together!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know, but take a look around here. Look what we're up against. We'll try.</blockquote>

[They move over to the others as the doors open and guards march in, led by Teal'c.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Shaka ha! Kree hol mel, Goa'uld!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(To Skarra) 
What'd he say?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
They're going to choose.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Choose what?</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
Who will be the children of the gods.</blockquote>

[A royal box is brought in and Apophis emerges from it.]

<blockquote>APOPHIS 
Jaffa!</blockquote>

[He helps Sha're out from the box.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Sha're. Jack, help me please.</blockquote>

[He surges forward but Carter and O'Neill pull him back.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, don't, don't.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Benna! Ya wan, ya daru! Kneel before your masters!</blockquote>

[Guards move among the people making them kneel. O'Neill catches Teal'c's eye who gives him a look, asking him to kneel by his expression. O'Neill nods imperceptibly and kneels. Skarra does not yet.]

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

[Skarra kneels. Robed Goa'uld move among the prisoners.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Benna, ya wan ya daru! Choose!</blockquote>

[A guards brings forth a prisoner and holds him up for the Goa'uld.]

<blockquote>GOA'ULD 
No. 
(He moves to another) 
This one. We choose this one. 
(She is escorted away)</blockquote>

[They approach where SG-1 are kneeling and Daniel leaps forward, grabbing one of them. Guards prevent O'Neill from interfering.]

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

<blockquote>GOA'ULD 
This one is passionate.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
How much would I remember if you chose me?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Daniel, what are you doing? 
(A guards taps him with a staff weapon in warning)</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(Distressed) 
Something of the host must survive.</blockquote>

<blockquote>GOA'ULD 
We choose…him. 
(Points to Skarra)</blockquote>

<blockquote>SKARRA 
(He is grabbed) 
Na-nay, na nay! Jack! Jack!</blockquote>

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

[O'Neill jumps forward but a guard hits him on the nose with a staff weapon. Skarra is dragged off, screaming O'Neill's name over and over.]

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Kill the rest.</blockquote>

[The prisoners scream and run to the back of the room as Apophis and the Goa'uld leave. Teal'c and his guards remain. They advance and ready their weapons, Teal'c at the front of them.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(To Teal'c) 
I can save these people! Help me! Help me.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Many have said that. 
(He turns and fires on his own guards, than throws his weapon to O'Neill) 
But you are the first I believe could do it!</blockquote>

[A firefight ensues, O'Neill and Teal'c kill the guards and scare away the ones at the door. O'Neill heads back for the back wall.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get out of the way!</blockquote>

[The prisoners scatter and he fires at the wall, creating an opening. He checks it.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on, let's move!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Come on, come on!</blockquote>

[The people stream through.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Come on, move, go, come on!</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Come on!</blockquote>

[Teal'c drops his helmet to the floor in the empty holding room as O'Neill and Daniel help prisoners through the opening.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You going to be okay?</blockquote>

[Daniel nods and leaves through the gap. O'Neill looks back to Teal'c.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hey, c'mon!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I have nowhere to go.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
For this you can stay at my place. Let's go.</blockquote>

[He joins O'Neill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What's your name?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
Teal'c.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Teal'c, where will they take Skarra, the boy?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
To the Stargate, after they've selected hosts for their children they will return home.</blockquote>

[They follow the stream of prisoners heading for the Gate.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[Hammond is in his office, overlooking the Gate.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Sir they have just under an hour until the deadline. We should've heard from them by now.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
A lot can happen in an hour, Major.</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET'''

[O'Neill and SG-1 leads the prisoners at a fast pace.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We've got less than an hour, how we doing?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
We lost a few when we got to the forest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
They will be hunted down and killed. Anyone who does not exist to serve the gods is their enemy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
And that makes you…?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
I am Jaffa. Bred to serve, that they may live.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I…I don't understand.</blockquote>

[Teal'c stops and reveals his pouch and his symbiote. The prisoners nearby scream.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
What the hell is that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
It is an infant Goa'uld, the larval form of the gods, I have carried one since I was a child, as all Jaffa carry one.</blockquote>

[They resume their walk.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Get it out of there.</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
In exchange for carrying the infant Goa'uld until maturity, a Jaffa receives perfect health and long life. If I were to remove it I would eventually die.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yeah, well if I were you I'd take my chances.</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

[A ship flies down and hovers over the Gate.A small distance away O'Neill urges the prisoners over the crest of a hill.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
All right come on people, let's go, let's move! 
(They move)</blockquote>

<blockquote>TEAL'C 
(To O'Neill) 
The boy you seek is no longer who he was.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I don't want to hear that.</blockquote>

[At the Stargate, the ship's belly reveals a ring device which transports down Goa'uld's including Skarra, Apophis and Sha're. The ship flies off. As the prisoners and SG-1 near the Gate a Goa'uld glider swoops over them, readying its guns.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Take cover!</blockquote>

[The ship fires as the prisoners scatter—O'Neill and Teal'c return fire but make no difference.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Sir, we're sitting ducks here!</blockquote>

[At the Stargate, Apophis dials out. As O'Neill and Teal'c fire ineffectually at the ship, suddenly we see over the shoulder of a soldier who fires a ground to air missile from a shoulder mounted firing device. It hits and destroys the ship. At the Stargate Apophis sees the explosion and steps through the Stargate. The prisoners cheer and O'Neill looks up to where the missile came from.]

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah! 
(Waves from the hill)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(Turning to the prisoners) 
C'mon folks, up the hill!</blockquote>

[Kawalski moves down to help O'Neill up.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Great shot! How many are there?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
About a dozen, maybe more. They're headed for the Gate.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
He's with them. Colonel, we don't have much time before they lock us out.</blockquote>

[They run up the hill with the others, Kawalski taking a lead position.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Warren, Casey, on my right!</blockquote>

[They position themselves at the crest of the hill, overlooking the Stargate. O'Neill sees Skarra bout to enter the Gate.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
No. No. 
(He runs down the hill)</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Colonel! Sir!</blockquote>

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

[Skarra turns and smiles.]

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

[Skarra's smile disappears, his eyes glow and he hits O'Neill with his hand device. O'Neill is thrown back and hits the ground as Skarra leaves and the Gate deactivates. O'Neill gets to his feet as the others run down to him.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Did you see the symbols?</blockquote>

[O'Neill shakes his head.]

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Hammond is still overlooking the Gate Room. Samuels enters.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Sir the deadline has been reached, standing by to seal off Stargate, sir. 
(Hammond doesn't respond) 
Awaiting your order, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
In a minute, Major.</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET'''

[Warren and Casey are on the hill, looking back to the forest with binoculars when they spot movement.]

<blockquote>WARREN 
(Into radio) 
Sir we've got movement in the trees, a lot of movement in the trees. We've got hostiles, sir, hostiles closing in!</blockquote>

[At the Stargate, Kawalski takes control.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
All right people we're going on a little field trip. Daniel get busy on that Stargate, we've got company. Captain arm your claymores. Me, Casey and Warren'll be the last men out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Negative. That's my job. Captain, help Daniel, once you've sent the signal I want you to go through, tell them we're bringing company.</blockquote>

[Everyone flocks to the Stargate.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
(Into his radio) 
Warren, give me an update!</blockquote>

<blockquote>WARREN 
(Into his radio) 
Looks like a whole battalion, sir. 200 yards and closing.</blockquote>

[Kawalski readies the claymores as Carter stands with Daniel who is searching for the Stargate address in his notebook.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Doctor Jackson?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I've got it, I know I have it here, I know I've got it.</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Come on!</blockquote>

[On the hill, the Warren and Casey fall to their bellies as they spy forces coming from the trees.]

<blockquote>WARREN 
(Into radio) 
Sir, we've got hostiles coming out of the trees.</blockquote>

[They start firing on the advancing Jaffa guards.]

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Hammond and Samuels are still standing overlooking the Gate Room.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
All right. Seal it off, lock out their transmitters.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Yes, sir! 
(He leaves)</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

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

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(He finds the address finally) 
Oh here! 
(He laughs)</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Go go!</blockquote>

[He starts dialling. On the hill the soldiers are being overpowered.]

<blockquote>WARREN 
(Into radio) 
We can't hold them, sir!</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
(To Carter) 
Send the signal as soon as it opens Captain.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
(To Kawalski) 
Pull 'em out!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
(Into radio) 
Fall back, fall back!</blockquote>

[The Gate opens.]

'''INT—BRIEFING ROOM'''

[Samuels runs up the stairs.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Sir a wormhole has just been established on the other side.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(Heading down the stairs) 
Delay my last order, do not seal the Gate or lock out their transmitter codes.</blockquote>

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

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(Entering Control Room) 
Do we have a remote transmitter signal?</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
No signal yet General.</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Is it working?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Well let's hope so, if not I'll be the first to know.</blockquote>

'''INT—CONTROL ROOM'''

[We see on the computer that the transmitter code has been received.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
Oh wait, there it is.</blockquote>

[They look to the Gate and watch as the iris opens.]

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

[Warren and Casey run down the hill from their positions, towards the Stargate. They take defensive positions behind rock and continue firing on the guards as they reach the crest of the hill. We see Carter step through the Gate and Daniel starts to encourage the prisoners to go after her.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Come on, come on, come on.</blockquote>

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

<blockquote>[We see Carter roll through the Gate onto the ramp and stand, putting out a hand as two prisoners follow after her and the soldiers around the Gate raise their guns.]</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Hold your fire! They're refugees! 
(She helps them to their feet)</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
(On the intercom) 
I hope you know what you're doing Captain.</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

[They are still firing against the guards as Daniel gets the last of the prisoners through the Gate.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Come on, two of you, two of you!</blockquote>

[The guards step over the crest of the hill and O'Neill turns to Kawalski.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Hit the claymores!</blockquote>

[Kawalski does so and they explode, taking a line of guards with them. He hits another and another and the guards go down in droves. But there are still more and one of the prisoners is hit by enemy fire.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
Come on, come on. We need cover here!</blockquote>

[Kawalski stands from his hiding place and screams, firing his weapon wildly. Daniel gets the last refugee through the Gate.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
That's it!</blockquote>

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

[Daniel pauses for one reluctant second and then runs through the Gate. ]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[We see Daniel pop through the Gate on the other side.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
They behind you?</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
I hope so.</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

[Kawalski runs for the Gate, as do the other soldiers.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Go, go, go!</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Colonel, more hostiles, eight o'clock.</blockquote>

[They retreat while firing on the encroaching guards. Casey is hit by a staff blast.]

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Casey!</blockquote>

[Kawalski and O'Neill move to him and drag him towards the Gate, setting him down on the steps, always firing their weapons. We see one of the prisoners who had stayed wrestling a guard—squeezing him to death. The guard fall near to Kawalski and we see its symbiote rise out of its pouch, it flies through the air and whips into Kawalski's neck. He freezes, then groans, and it disappears into his neck. Teal'c and the prisoner leap through the Gate.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[The prisoner jumps out of the Gate and the soldiers cock their weapons, as Teal'c come through Carter and Daniel call out simultaneously to stop them firing.]

<blockquote>CARTER AND DANIEL 
Whoa! Hold your fire! Hold your fire!</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
They're with us! 
(She walks up to Teal'c and receives his weapon from him with a nod)</blockquote>

'''EXT—RA'S PLANET, STARGATE'''

[O'Neill and Kawalski pick up Casey and run through the Gate—the guards are close on their heels and run through the Gate after them.]

'''INT—GATE ROOM'''

[The three fall through the Gate, Casey collapses to the ramp.]

<blockquote>CARTER 
Now! Lock it up, lock it up!</blockquote>

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
(Over the intercom) 
Closing iris!</blockquote>

[The iris closes and they hear four metallic thuds as the guards that followed hit the metal. Then the sounds stop.]

<blockquote>TECHNICIAN 
(Over the intercom) 
Wormhole disengaged.</blockquote>

[The iris opens. Medics rush up the ramp as they are called.]

<blockquote>SOLDIER 
Medic! Medic</blockquote>!

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
You got him? 
(To Kawalski, motioning to Casey)</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah, I got him, thanks. Hold on here, get these people back.</blockquote>

[The refugees surge forward and circle Carter and O'Neill, hugging and thanking them warmly.]

<blockquote>MEDIC 
We've got to help these people, please.</blockquote>

[Hammond walks up the ramp, amidst the confusion as Samuels clear the way for the medics.]

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Let's go, man down, stand back! Stand back!</blockquote>

[The medics lift Casey on to a stretcher.]

<blockquote>MEDIC 
Let's get him to the infirmary, let's get him inside. 
(They depart)</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill. Care to explain?</blockquote>

<blockquote>CARTER 
Um, we can use the Stargate to send these people home, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
What's he doing here? 
(Motioning to Teal'c)</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
General Hammond, this is Teal'c. He can help us.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Do you know what he is?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir I do, he's the man who saved our lives. And if you accept my recommendation, sir…he'll join SG-1.</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
That decision may not be up to you.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
Stand back, let's get him off the ramp.</blockquote>

[Kawalski is on his knees, looking a little distressed.]

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Kawalski, are you all right?</blockquote>

<blockquote>KAWALSKI 
Yeah, I'm good. 
(He stands and regains his composure)</blockquote>

<blockquote>HAMMOND 
Colonel O'Neill, Major Kawalski, this sure-to-be-very-interesting debriefing for SG units 1 and 2 will be at 0730.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
Yes, sir.</blockquote>

<blockquote>SAMUELS 
All right, let's get these people situated.</blockquote>

[They leave the Gate Room, leaving Teal'c, Carter, Daniel and O'Neill standing at the base of the ramp. Daniel looks back to the Gate.]

<blockquote>DANIEL 
She's out there somewhere, Jack.</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
I know. So's Skarra.</blockquote>

<blockquote>DANIEL 
So what do we do?</blockquote>

<blockquote>O'NEILL 
We find 'em.</blockquote>

[He leaves and the others follow, behind them we see that Kawalski is still standing at the top of the ramp, almost inside the Gate. He walks down the ramp towards the camera and as he gets close, his eyes glow.]
